This is good news for Tux Machines, as the site was abused by such men, who moreover targeted Rianne; she responded with her own_lawsuit. When she returns to the UK late in September she can expect things to go in her favour, seeing that the High Court does not entertain misogynists who choose misogynistic_lawyers_to_act_for_them (in another continent!). █ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠄⣠⣤⠄⠀⣀⢀⠀⣀⢀⣄⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⢀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣷⡈⠻⡍⠻⣿⡟⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠭⣿⣫⣿⣿⣿⠿⢯⣤⢀⣈⡵⢀⣤⡖⠟⠀⠉⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⣩⠜⢹⡿⣿⣿⡿⠋⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⡍⠳⠀⠀⠀⠈⠃⠘⠇⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⡙⣿⠽⠑⠿⢿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣩⣭⡙⢉⣨⣽⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⡄⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣫⢀⢠⣽⣏⣴⣦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⢚⠁⣾⢟⠏⠹⠟⢛⣻⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡇⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⠷⢒⠻⡘⠀⣀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⡁⠀⢙⠈⢻⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⠷⠿⠼⠿⠗⢻⣿⢿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⡔⡀⣁⠀⠆⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠛⠁⠘⡿⠟⠋⠟⠹⣻⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢔⣪⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣤⠩⠙⠁⢼⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⢻⣾⣷⡙⣦⠸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⡻⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⡿⠟⡛⢩⡁⠤⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣮⣼⣦⣰⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠔⠂⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣀⡾⣇⣸⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⡉⠹⡉⠛⠻⠆⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣰⣶⡮⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⡶⠟⡩⠀⠀⠀⢀⣄⣀⣀⢀⡤⠂⠀⢀⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣭⣿⠍⠉⠁⠉⢉⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡝⠆⠀⠈⠆⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠭⠺⠛⢡⡞⠵⠚⢛⠿⠋⠁⠉⠀⣀⣬⣿⣿⢿⠋⠈⠛⣽⣿⣛⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣟⠘⣣⠸⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠈⠻⢿⠿⠛⠁⠀⡰⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣼⣿⣿⡿⢋⣴⣿⡿⢿⣿⣏⡿⠛⠙⣛⣻⡟⡡⠋⠹⠟⣿⡅⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠄⠀⠠⠶⠄⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠶⣿⠿⠛⠛⠟⣴⣿⠟⠁⠀⢾⣿⡟⣀⡆⠀⠈⠻⠇⠀⡀⠀⠀⣻⣿⣄⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣯⣶⡏⠻⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣴⣾⠁⠀⠁⠀⠀⠁⣰⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⡠⣾⣿⡛⠷⠂⠉⠐⠖⠊⠁⠀⣀⡌⢭⣻⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢇⣿⣿⠻⠇⠀⡿⠋⢀⣠⡀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣶⣖⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⢀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣾⣦⣴⣿⣿⣶⣾⣤⣤⣤⡀⢀⣠⣤⣤⣬⣿⣿⡦⢸⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠈⠉⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣿⣿⣷⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠶⡖⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣫⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⣴⣿⣿⡿⠏⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣇⢀⣀⣤⣶⠿⣿⠟⠁⠻⣿⢀⠀⠳⣻⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣹⣿⢯⣟⡽⡟⡿⡟⡿⣟⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⣷⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⡟⢻⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⣀⣀⠉⠛⠋⢁⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⢀⣩⠇⡿⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣭⣾⣿⣿⣾⣿⡿⣽⡟⣿⣾⢟⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢧⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣮⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣋⡀⠀⣀⡠⢲⡾⣿⣼⡇⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣼⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢛⣯⡋⣥⣾⣿⣿⣿⠋⠍⠷⣿⠏⠀⢸⣿⢠⣭⠄⠛⣧⣸⣿⣿⣿⣵⣿⡿⣫⢿⣻⣿⢿⡿⡽⣻⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢵⣿⠟⢋⣽⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢑⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⢃⣤⣖⣭⣠⣴⡈⢣⣿⡿⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣟⣵⣿⣟⣌⣾⣳⣹⣳⣳⣱⣱⣱⣻⣱⢳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣻⢟⣫⣼⡿⢃⣀⠙⠉⠀⠺⣿⣿⠟⢁⢶⡤⣾⠿⣋⠿⢸⠍⠛⠛⠉⠠⣶⣶⣿⣷⡀⢀⢶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢿⡿⠿⠿⢿⡿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠛⠛⠛⠃⠛⠁⠐⠓⠒⠒⠒⠓⠒⠛⠛⠓⠐⠛⠛⠒⠀⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 188 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/24/Audiocasts_Shows_mintCast_Linux_Out_Loud_and_This_Week_in_Linux.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/24/Audiocasts_Shows_mintCast_Linux_Out_Loud_and_This_Week_in_Linux.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Audiocasts/Shows: mintCast, Linux Out Loud, and This Week in Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 24, 2025 * ⚓ mintCast Podcast ☛ mintCast_Round_Table_08-23-25⠀⇛ A Saturday Livestream about everything and nothing. * ⚓ Tux Digital ☛ Linux_Out_Loud_114:_Bonding_Networks_and_Breaking_Games⠀⇛ We’re back from the break and diving headfirst into the chaos!

The new dashboard lets users sort packages by architecture, package name, repository, and update time, and it features light and dark themes. Another interesting thing about this release is that it ships with the long- term supported Linux 6.12 LTS kernel series as a fallback option for those who encounter hardware issues with the latest Linux 6.16 kernel. However, the ISO image now defaults to Linux kernel 6.12 LTS for stability. Read_on Update (by Roy) Also here now: * ⚓ CachyOS_August_2025_Release_Brings_Package_Dashboard,_LTS_Kernel⠀⇛ Over a month after its previous July update, and after topping DistroWatch’s rankings, the Arch-based performance-focused CachyOS has released its sixth refreshed ISO snapshot for the year. One of the biggest additions accompanying the announcement is packages.cachyos.org, a new dashboard that lets users explore the current package set across repositories and architectures. Each package entry shows whether it comes directly from Arch Linux, has been modified, or originates from AUR. To further improve transparency, the PKGBUILD source is displayed, and a binary download link is available for manual inspection or installation. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⢿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣀⣿⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣒⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣐⣀⣀⣒⣐⣒⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠓⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⠓⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣒⣒⣒⡒⠒⠒⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣒⣒⣂⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢒⣒⣒⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣬⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠁⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⠛⠃⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠐⠒⠐⠒⠂⠐⠂⠀⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠚⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠓⠂⠀⠀⠀⠚⠚⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⣉⣉⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⣉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⣉⡉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⣉⣉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⢿⣾⣽⣻⣿⣾⣽⣻ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠤⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣾⣽⡿⣿⣿⣽⡿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠒⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠒⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠒⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣷⣿⣻⢿⣿⣯⣟⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⣉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⣉⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⣉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⣉⣉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣮⣟⡿⣿⣾⣝⡿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣽⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠒⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⠿⣿⣿⣿⡻⢿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⣉⣉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⣉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⣉⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⣉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⣉⣉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣷⣮⣿⣿⣿⣦⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣒⣒⣂⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⡀⣒⣒⣀⣀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⣒⣒⣂⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣀⡒⣒⣠⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣻⡻⡟⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠊⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠓⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⡟⡟⣿⣿⢻⢛⣿⣟⢻⡟ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 329 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/24/Databases_Spatial_Joins_in_DuckDB_pgAdmin_4_v9_7_Pgpool_II_and_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/24/Databases_Spatial_Joins_in_DuckDB_pgAdmin_4_v9_7_Pgpool_II_and_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Databases: Spatial Joins in DuckDB, pgAdmin 4 v9.7, Pgpool-II, and g_hint_plan v1.8.0⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 24, 2025 * ⚓ Simon Willison ☛ Spatial_Joins_in_DuckDB⠀⇛ The rides table contains 58,033,724 rows.

Other times, the software gives me a way to do something I was already doing, only more efficiently. That's what these apps are: Linux software that can come in useful in ways you might not expect. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ GSoC_2025_Final_Project_Blog:_Developing_Karton,_the_KDE Virtual_Machine_Manager!⠀⇛ Hello again everyone! I’m Derek Lin also known as kenoi, a second-year Math student and the University of Waterloo. Through Surveillance Giant Google Summer of Code (GSoC), mentored by Harald_Sitter, Tobias_Fella, and Nicolas_Fella, I have been developing Karton, a KDE-native Virtual Machine Manager. As the program wraps up, I thought it would be a good idea to put together what I’ve been able to accomplish as well as my plans going forward. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Yet_Another_Init_System?_Meet_Nitro,_a_Fresh_Take_on Process_Supervision⠀⇛ A new init system called Nitro has reached its first public release, adding another option to the already diverse ecosystem of process supervisors for Linux, currently dominated by systemd. The main driving force behind it is Leah Neukirchen, maintainer of the systemd- free Void Linux, a distro betting on runit as its init system.She designed Nitro to be tiny, flexible, and easy to configure, focusing on the basics of what an init system should do: bring up services, keep them running, and restart them if they fail. Unlike larger alternatives such as systemd, Nitro sticks to a simple process supervision model while staying small enough to build and run as a static binary. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Dealing_With_The_1970s_EPROM_Chaos_In_2025⠀⇛ It could be argued that erasable programmable ROMs (EPROMs) with their quaint UV-transparent windows are firmly obsolete today in an era of various flavors of EEPROMs. Yet many of these EPROMs are still around, and people want to program them. Unfortunately, the earliest EPROMs were made during a time when JEDEC standardization hadn’t taken root yet, leading to unique pinouts, programming voltages, and programming sequences, as [Anders Nielsen] explains in a recent video. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Commodore_raked_in_over_$2_million_during the_new_C64_Ultimate's_debut_week_—_roadmap_will_include three_major_releases_a_year⠀⇛ The new Commodore is already thriving with $2m in sales in the first week of the C64 Ultimate's debut. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ # § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Don Marti ☛ Goddammit,_Mr. Noodle!⠀⇛ Basically now that’s me when a new version of Firefox comes out. So much useful stuff gone that you have to get an extension for, so many opportunities missed, so many fads chased. I’m surprised that Firefox didn’t have a feature to get you to eat Tide Pods back when that was a thing. o § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ # ⚓ Joel Chrono ☛ Webmentions_but_manual_(for_Jekyll)⠀⇛ Webmentions have been around for a while now, they are a very interesting protocol that allows websites to interact and call each other as if they were their own sort of social media.

However, while very cool, I didn’t want to bother setting them up even if it’s not too difficult.

One of them applies to video encoding: an issue that sometimes caused visual corruption when using x265 has been resolved. At the same time, adjustments were made to SVT-AV1 presets 10, 9, and 8, which weren’t functioning correctly with SSIM tune enabled. On the subtitle side, the HarfBuzz library has been updated to version 11.4.2. Linux users running the Flatpak build should notice that preview audio now works properly again. Another fix ensures that the Vorbis passthru checkbox is applied correctly when switching titles. macOS users, meanwhile, get improved validation for custom border colors, tightening up handling of those settings.

How to Tell if a Project Walks the Walk - FOSS Force — Free software licenses were conceived as a way to move power from software providers to users, but this burden is often too much for the license alone. There are plenty of ways in which an open source project can be less free than its license suggests, but how do you tell? One way is through a new website, Is It Really FOSS, which aims to provide users with insight into the actual freedom they can expect from a project advertising itself as open source. I think this is important, and I think you should care. Here’s why. The free and open source ecosystem features a dizzying array of licenses. Some veer more towards copyleft, meaning they strictly follow the four freedoms set out by Richard Stallman in the ’80s. The “permissive” licenses, are more “do as you will,” and allow the inclusion of their code within proprietary projects with few or no limitations. Others try to look like open source licenses, and sometimes even claim to be open source, but they don’t fit the definition and aren’t compatible with legitimate open source licenses.

Linux is more than software to me; it's an entire ecosystem with its own set of ethics. I've outlined 5 markers that clearly indicate that I have moved on; perhaps you have too? § You Don't Consider Free and Open Source Optional There was a time when installing software from almost any source didn't matter to me; I blindly trusted that these programs were safe. Spyware was common even then, but over the years it has become mainstream—think smartphone applications, sneaky telemetry, and AI products that look over your shoulder. FOSS remains a notable exception in this regard, serving as a safe haven for those who simply want privacy, now more than ever. It is both free of cost and free in principle, and in many cases matches or even surpasses the quality of proprietary alternatives. There are many great FOSS software projects—Mozilla Firefox, Chromium, Blender, the BSDs, Linux, etc.—but it wasn't obvious at first. In one form or another, I tried to take my closed software with me. Eventually, I fully embraced the freedom of high-quality, highly ethical software, and looking back, I now realize that this was a long transition into a better world.

But as Pis and Rockchip boards have become more powerful (and efficient), and Apple's M-series silicon has become more interesting (the M4 mini being an excellent value proposition for a quiet, tiny server), and even Ampere Altra pricing coming down a bit since it's an 'old' server CPU now, still offering 64 or 128 lanes of PCIe Gen 4...

According to the report, for mid-market companies with a median annual AWS bill of approximately $2.3 million, where EC2 compute represents 50-70% of costs ($1.15-1.6 million), a Python 3.10 to 3.13 upgrade could deliver potential savings of $420,000 annually. * § Java⠀➾ o ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ NetBeans_27_Improves_JDK_25_Compatibility,_Adds_Gradle 9_Fixes⠀⇛ For Java developers, the release includes multiple fixes and improvements for JDK 25, such as resolving javadoc build issues, updating nb-javac to JDK 25b31, and disabling the Windows clipboard agent on JDK 25 and later.

The Steam Deck is a fantastic handheld, but for my living room, I want something more powerful that works as well on my TV as it does at a desk. Believe me, I’ve tried. Gaming laptops are noisy and awkward, desktops are too chunky, and Windows is annoying to navigate without a keyboard and mouse. I had hoped that Valve’s Steam Machine experiment was my ticket, but it crashed and burned long ago. Nothing’s ever been as easy as a PlayStation 5. But I’m newly optimistic. I’ve spent the past couple weeks using the Framework Desktop with a clever Linux distro called Bazzite: an open-source take on SteamOS. It’s a lot like installing the Steam Deck’s game mode and Proton compatibility layer for playing Windows games, and you can still optionally access a desktop for work too. It took me less than an hour to set up, and I’m now able to play PC games on my TV at 4K / 60fps — on a box that is smaller than a PS5, doesn’t get too noisy, and can be woken up from my couch with a gamepad.

This is free and open source software. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠉⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⡆⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣷⣤⣤⡤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⠀⢠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣾⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⣀⣠⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢙⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠉⠉⣿⠉⠉⣿⠉⠉⣿⣿⣿⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠻⢿⣿⡟⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣤⣀⡀⠀⠉⠀⠀⢲⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⡀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠉⠉⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠉⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1458 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/24/Tiny_Linux_Based_Industrial_Module_Built_on_RK3506J_SoC.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/24/Tiny_Linux_Based_Industrial_Module_Built_on_RK3506J_SoC.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Tiny Linux-Based Industrial Module Built on RK3506J SoC⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 24, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇FET3506J-C_Features⦈_ Quoting: Tiny Linux-Based Industrial Module Built on RK3506J SoC Tiny Linux- Based Industrial Module Built on RK3506J SoC — The FET3506J-C is a compact embedded module from Forlinx based on the Rockchip RK3506J. It is designed for long-term industrial use in automation, transportation, energy, and communication systems. The module runs Linux 6.1 and supports low power operation, a small footprint, and extended temperature ranges. Unlike the earlier FET3506J-S, which uses castellated edge pins and a slightly larger footprint, this model measures 40 by 29 millimeters and integrates with a 2.0 mm board-to-board connector. The layout is intended to simplify modular design and improve mechanical stability.

howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 24, 2025 * ⚓ Xanthe ☛ satyrs.eu/uses⠀⇛ This site is hosted on persepolis, a beat-up old Dell laptop running Linux Mint that i keep tucked away in a drawer. It uses Nginx as a reverse proxy to redirect to the server itself, which is a Node and Express.js affair. Pages are mostly written in Pug, a syntactic sugarfest of a language that compiles down into good ol’ HTML. The venerable (and public domain!) Sqlite serves as a database. Posts on The Garden are authored in a custom CMS (shown above), usually in Rubric, a home-grown alternative to Markdown. The actual writing process mostly takes place on the über- minimalist Dotpad 9000, created out of frustration with having to look at all the bells and whistles of normal text-editor apps. Interaction between the server and the author is mediated by HTMX, because i’m too grug-brained to understand React. * ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_NTP_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Time synchronization is a critical aspect of modern GNU/Linux system administration that often goes unnoticed until something goes wrong. Accurate timekeeping ensures proper logging, security protocol functionality, and seamless operation of distributed systems. Fedora 42 introduces enhanced time synchronization capabilities that system administrators need to understand and implement correctly. * ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_MailSpring_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Modern email clients have revolutionized how professionals manage their digital communications. For Fedora 42 users seeking a powerful, feature-rich email solution, MailSpring stands out as an exceptional choice that bridges the gap between traditional GNU/Linux email applications and contemporary productivity demands. * ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Pandas_on_AlmaLinux_10⠀⇛ Data analysis and manipulation have become fundamental skills in today’s technology-driven world. Pandas, Python’s premier data analysis library, stands as an indispensable tool for developers, data scientists, and system administrators working with structured data. When combined with AlmaLinux 10, a robust enterprise-grade GNU/Linux distribution, Pandas creates a powerful environment for data processing and analysis tasks. * ⚓ The New Stack ☛ Gnoppix_Makes_Using_Hey_Hi_(AI)_on_GNU/Linux_a_Snap, With_One_Caveat⠀⇛ * ⚓ Matthias_Geiger:_Enforcing_darkmode_for_QT_programs_under_a_non-QT based_environment⠀⇛ I use sway as window manager on my main machine. As I prefer dark mode, I looked for a way to enable dark mode everywhere. For GTK-based this is fairly straightforward: Just install whatever theme you prefer, and apply it. * ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Learn_Zsh⠀⇛ Start learning Zsh, one tutorial at a time. * ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Using_Git⠀⇛ The defacto version control system no one can ignore. Start learning Git, one tutorial a time. * ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Getting_Started_With_Tmux⠀⇛ tmux is an excellent productivity tool for pro GNU/Linux users who love the terminal. It certainly has a learning curve involved though. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2109 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 22 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
