Forky Support — Almost a month after the 9.15 release, DietPi, a lightweight, performance-focused Debian-based Linux distro for SBCs (such as Raspberry Pi) and server systems (with an option to install desktop environments), has just unveiled its latest iteration, version 9.16. First things first, the update introduces support for Debian 13 “Trixie”. At the same time, the release adds early support for Debian 14 “Forky.” While still in testing and prone to frequent package breakages, DietPi can now detect it properly, run automated tests, and generate images for download. Another notable change is a reduction in redundant APT update calls. The system now skips the command if it was executed within the last hour and no repository changes were made, which should help speed up installs and reduce disk writes. DietPi’s core scripts also gained smarter privilege handling. Instead of failing when root rights are missing, they now automatically re- execute with sudo, making sudo dietpi-software obsolete in most cases.

This is why their website emphasizes the use of recycled materials, why you don't get any charger or cable inside the box, and so forth. I tend to agree with the notion of sustainable use, but I approach the matter from a completely different angle. Sustainability, in my book, is an outcome of doing things correctly; it's not a goal. If you don't overspend, live within your means, and replace items in your possession when they reach the end of their usefulness, and not because some company wants you to increase the bonus for their executives, then, yes, you are doing it right. For instance, the average device in my place is about 7-8 years old. A few have reached a double digit age. Some are relics, some still serve their purpose well. One thing is sure, they don't get thrown out when the marketing hotshots think you ought to be spending cash. Nope. The Fairphone comes with some extremely interesting elements. Replaceable parts. Or more correctly, easily replaceable parts. As in, you don't need to throw away your phone if the battery goes bad or the charging port stops working. This is quite commendable. Then, the company also promises seven major Android version upgrades, and eight years of patching. Again, this is better than anyone else. You also get a standard two-year warranty, which you can extend to five years (for free, methinks). Sure, there's small print stuff, of course, but the terms are more generous than what most other companies offer, if they offer it to begin with. But, I think the shopping experience could be nicer by offering the buyer a cable and a charger as an option. Tick the box, you get them. After all, what if this is someone's FIRST smartphone purchase? Unlikely, but it could very well be. Then, Fairphone 6 has no 3.5mm audio jack, which I find very sad. You can buy Fairbuds, an irony, but there's no USB-C adapter for the audio jack, nor simple, cheap wired headphones on offer.

In Pong’s time, its popularity ushered in the arcade era that would last for more than two decades. Today, it retains a similar popularity partially for approachability: gameplay is relatively simple, has hardwired logic, and provides insights about the state of computer science at the time. For these reasons, [Nick Bild] has decided to recreate this arcade classic, but not in a traditional way. He’s trained a neural network to become the game instead. * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ New_Steam_Games_Playable_on_the_Steam_Deck,_with_Stick it_to_the_Stickman_-_2025-08-23_Edition⠀⇛ Between 2025-08-16 and 2025-08-23 we selected 6 newly released games that are rated as Verified or Playable on the Steam Deck, and meeting specific criteria in terms of user ratings. It’s a quiet week in the middle of August, so don’t expect these new releases to make a lot of waves… yet, Stick It to the Stickman seems to be an excellent entry in the Stickman-based fighting games.

While this support has been available to Asahi Linux for a while, the feature may soon be merged into the Linux kernel, since the feature addition has been submitted for comments via the Linux kernel public inbox. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Three_writing_systems_of_English_and_localization_woes⠀⇛ Did you know there are three different writing systems for English? That’s right - you can write English using letters that aren’t Latin characters. If you’re using KDE Plasma version 6.4 or earlier, go to the “Region & Language” system settings page and search “en_US.” You’ll see two locales in the results, and they both say they’re “en_US.” The latter en_US doesn’t seem to be English at all. It turns out that the “weird” English is the “America English Desret” locale, and the “normal” en_US is called “America English Latin”. o § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ Top_10_Best_GTK_Themes_For_Ubuntu_GNU/Linux_For_2025⠀⇛ You can get hundreds of beautiful themes that are available for download and use on websites such as DeviantArt. But! Have you ever tried the best GTK themes we have for Ubuntu and other GNU/Linux distributions? It is easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of choice there is on offer. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Darren Goossens ☛ FreeDOS_on_an_iMac_–_DSPACE⠀⇛ I slotted in a Devuan netinstall CD and partitioned the HDD with swap at the front, then a FAT32 partition for FreeDOS, then space for Devuan, and installed a skinny Devuan instance. (This is handy for getting FreeDOS up and running). I then ejected the Devuan disc, rebooted, put in the FreeDOS 1.4 RC2 disc and installed that. It then wrote it’s boot blocks over the GRUB instance that Devuan had installed, so I could only boot into DOS. I rebooted again. With F12 held down, the Mac ejected the CD, so I could then put Devuan CD back in and choose restore and reinstall the bootloader. o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ openSUSE_Launches_Revamped_Website⠀⇛ openSUSE has quietly rolled out a major refresh to its website—well, to the home page, to be more exact (I’ll get into that in a moment). If you’re curious, head over to opensuse.org and see it for yourself. o § Slackware Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Anubis_is_now_guarding_the_git_server⠀⇛ I have had it with the onslaught of Hey Hi (AI) and indexing bots that keep my web servers in a constant state of near-crashes.

As suspected, rc3 ends up being a bit larger than usual, to balance out the tiny rc2. Yes, 3.17 seems to be generally in pretty good shape, but nobody *really* believed that it was as good as that tiny rc2 would make it seem. And while rc3 is on the larger side, it's by no means anything outrageously so, it's well within the normal parameters. The diffstat looks fairly normal too: about half drivers (spread all over, we've got a bit of everything, but mellanox mlx5 stands out if you want to pick out any particular area). There's a fair chunk of added selftests and some more Rust support, and then a random collection of fixes all over: architecture code, filesystems, VM and core networking. Anyway, things seem fairly normal for this phase in the release cycle, nothing stands out.

This site was born in the US and always stayed in the US until 2023. In the months that followed Americans hired "guns for hire" (funded by Microsoft money!) based in London to SLAPP us, but it didn't work [1, 2]. Their aim is to attack the GPL (copyleft) and GNU/Linux, so they see us as a risk/enemy. About an hour ago in IRC someone said Firefox had become more hostile and is pushing chatbots instead of Web pages. "One to warn me that Linux is insecure," he said. An associate responded to the need to document this, as it is important to get screenshots, if possible, to show this hostility, "especially in context_of_their_UEFI_time_bomb_set_to_go_off_next_month," the associate remarked.

RP2040. He’s perfected a scanning routine in C to work with the keyboard, but he still had some places he wanted to use even lower-level instructions. That was as good an excuse as any to experiment with inline assembly language inside the C program. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_PLL_For_Perfect_Pitch⠀⇛ When Hackaday runs a contest, we see all manner of clever projects. But inevitably there are some we don’t see, because their builders didn’t manage to get them finished in time. [Park Frazer]’s phase-locked loop is one of them. The circuit is an all-discrete PLL that derives a 440kHz output from a 1Hz input, and it arrived just too late for our 1Hz contest. * ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ The_Gateron_Smoothie_linear_switches⠀⇛ I want to build a numpad for learning how to touch-type financial stuff, and was tempted to just go with the same switches again. But where’s the fun in that? * ⚓ Old VCR ☛ Reverse-engineering_Roadsearch_Plus,_or,_roadgeeking_with_an 8-bit_CPU⠀⇛ Yes, if your car inverter could handle a 45-ish watt load — and your wife doesn't want her seat back right away — you could navigate major routes across America on your home computer like this portable Commodore SX-64. I particularly enjoyed writing this article because my other irredeemably nerdy habit is roadgeeking, exploring and mapping highways both old and new, and it turns out that 8-bit roadgeeking on ordinary home computers was absolutely possible. * ⚓ Jonathan Pallant ☛ JP's_Website_·_2025-08-23_·_How_many_SPARCs_is_too many_SPARCs?_Part_2⠀⇛ OK, so last time out we looked at the Sun Fire V100, the Sun Netra T1, the SPARCstation 1, the two SPARCstation 2s. We still have: Three SPARCstation 20s (suisse314759, suisse130242 and tiny) - none of which have CPUs One SPARCstation 10 Two SPARCstation 5s (suisse16511 and mo28282) Where I have duplicates I have named the machines after one of the stickers stuck on the front. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Kickstarter_Features_Xerxes_Pi:_A_Compact_Compute_Module Carrier_for_Home_Labs⠀⇛ Kickstarter is currently featuring the Xerxes Pi, a compact compute module carrier developed by Rapid Analysis in Australia. Designed for home lab and small business rack environments, the project aims to provide an affordable, well- documented platform for clustered computing, container hosting, and open source server workloads. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ 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. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ ESP32_Sets_Sail_As_A_Modern_Bus_Pirate_Powerhouse⠀⇛ Bus Pirate is nearly a household name in the hardware hacking world. The first version came out way back in 2008, and there have been several revisions since then. You can buy pre-built Bus Pirate devices, but there’s also the option now to build our own. The ESP32 Bus Pirate project has everything you need to turn an ESP32 device into a protocol sniffing/decoding powerhouse—all on a board you may have sitting around from another project. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Centron_CT1832_Real.Pi_–_A_Realtek_RTD1619B_SBC_based_on Raspberry_Pi_3_Model_B_form_factor⠀⇛ Centron Design’s CT1832 Real.Pi is a RealTek RTD1619B SBC that mainly follows the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B form factor and is designed for AIoT applications, vehicle-mounted central control, entertainment/game equipment, and digital signage. It follows the RTD1619B-powered XpressReal T3 SBC based on a smaller form factor, which was introduced a few weeks ago by Fyde Innovations, with support for the Chromium-based FydeOS operating system. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ NXP_IW623_SoC_supports_2×2_tri-band_Wi-Fi_6E,_Bluetooth LE_audio⠀⇛ NXP has recently launched the IW623, a Tri-band Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth LE Audio SoC, which can be considered as the 4th member of the IW62x family, as back in 2020, NXP launched the IW620, with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity. After that, in January 2022, they released the IW612 tri-radio SoC, adding 802.15.4 support for Matter-enabled smart home gateways, and later in September 2025, they launched the IW693 Wi-Fi 6E SoC with concurrent dual-Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for industrial IoT and automotive markets. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1149 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/25/Portainer_2_33_LTS_New_Branding_Helm_Overhaul_and_Observability.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/25/Portainer_2_33_LTS_New_Branding_Helm_Overhaul_and_Observability.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Portainer 2.33 LTS: New Branding, Helm Overhaul, and Observability Preview⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 25, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Portainer_2.33⦈_ Quoting: Portainer 2.33 LTS: New Branding, Helm Overhaul, and Observability Preview — Portainer, an open-source container management platform that provides a web-based GUI to simplify the deployment and management of containerized applications, has announced the release of version 2.33 LTS, a long-term support build. But the big news is not so much in the technical details. There is a refreshed brand identity in place. According to the devs, the rebrand comes after nearly a decade of growth beyond Docker, where Portainer first made its name. However, with the company’s focus now centered on Kubernetes and edge deployments, CEO Neil Cresswell explained that the old branding no longer reflected what the platform had become.

An API that’s interesting is a bad API (or at least it would be a better one if it were less interesting). For the developers who build them, APIs are complex products that they spend time designing and polishing. But for the developers who use them, APIs are tools that they use in order to accomplish some other goal. Any time they spend thinking about the API instead of about that goal is time wasted. From their perspective, an ideal API should be so familiar that they will more or less know how to use it before they read any documentation2. * ⚓ Matt Blewitt ☛ Over-Engineering_Sleep⠀⇛ The motivation of this implementation seems to be around not relying on the sleep utility, despite this being part of the POSIX standard. Instead, it uses a pure bash solution with the SECONDS bash builtin (manpage reference). Looking at the source of bash reveals that this builtin is implemented using the gettimeofday call (assign_seconds, get_seconds). If we rely on gettimeofday anyway, why not rely on sleep? * ⚓ MaskRay ☛ Understanding_alignment_-_from_source_to_object_file⠀⇛ Alignment refers to the practice of placing data or code at memory addresses that are multiples of a specific value, typically a power of 2. This is typically done to meet the requirements of the programming language, ABI, or the underlying hardware. Misaligned memory accesses might be expensive or will cause traps on certain architectures. This blog post explores how alignment is represented and managed as C++ code is transformed through the compilation pipeline: from source code to LLVM IR, assembly, and finally the object file. We'll focus on alignment for both variables and functions. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Men’s_domestic_chores_and_fertility_rates_–_Part_II,_technical notes_by_@ellis2013nz⠀⇛ This post is a collection of more technical notes forming a companion piece to the previous post on men’s time spent on domestic chores and total fertility rates at the country level. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Replicating_Hansen’s_Econometrics_using_Armadillo⠀⇛ * ⚓ Rlang ☛ A_Shiny_app_to_visualize_the_Edgeworth_box⠀⇛ * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Arne Sommer ☛ Common_Find_with_Raku_-_Arne_Sommer⠀⇛ Write a script to return all characters that is in every word in the given array including duplicates. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Runtime_Python_Virtual_Environment_Switching_based_on_Cantor⠀⇛ § A long‑running backend that evaluates Python code must solve one problem well: switching the active interpreter or virtual environment at runtime without restarting the host process.

Use Linux, BSD. — After using CalyxOS for a week I would say that, of the de-Googled members of the Android family I have tried in the past few years, CalyxOS feels the most vanilla. By which I mean it doesn't feel like CalyxOS has a specific speciality, it feels more middle-of-the-road compared to other projects. Most open source, de-Googled Android flavours have a niche or a particular focus. Murena, for example, tries to make the experience beginner friendly. They have cloud storage, the security features are enabled with a single-tap, there is one unified software centre. Everything is designed to be easy for newcomers. iodeOS is highly focused on monitoring and filtering network traffic. With iodeOS we have tools to see where our data is going and we can respond to these spying and telemetry concerns. GrapheneOS is strongly security focused with low-level hardening and most features disabled or locked by default. GrapheneOS starts us off with a minimal system and we need to confirm each new app and permission we allow. In contrast to the above three projects, CalyxOS doesn't feel like it is trying to focus on any one area or any one feature. It's not as convenient to set up as Murena's /e/OS, it doesn't take nearly as much work as GrapheneOS, it doesn't include as many network monitoring tools as iodeOS. CalyxOS feels more general purpose - the master of none, but pretty good at everything. It has some security tools, some conveniences, there is a little manual work to do to get everything set up, and it has some nice privacy-protecting features. For someone like me, someone who doesn't mind a crafting and customizing a little, but wants it to be as painless as possible, CalyxOS is a good fit. It isn't something I would hand to a beginner, someone new to exploring custom ROMs for Android devices, at least not yet. But the project is providing a good, solid experience with very few issues. I also appreciate the extra performance I have experienced since installing CalyxOS, it has made my phone run faster and that is always a nice perk.

So I scrolled a little to see who this people was –I’m no familiar with web3 organizations, I actively keep myself as far away from it as possible–, and I can see some old talks published. The first one is some gentleman exposing everyone he’s using Apple hardware to speak about privacy. This already looks like people talking about “privacy” but actually refering to “anonimity”, which is a form of “secrecy”. “Privacy” means a lot of things –as well as “freedom”–, and as usual bad actors turn those meanings to whatever they can use for their own benefit.

One of the big appeals of interactive TV was adoption, the average household had a TV long before the average household had a computer. So, it seems like interactive TV services should have proliferated before personal computers, at least following the logic that many in the industry did at the time. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1533 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/25/Sorry_Bill_Gates_I_haven_t_used_Windows_for_years_and_I_don_t_m.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/25/Sorry_Bill_Gates_I_haven_t_used_Windows_for_years_and_I_don_t_m.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Sorry, Bill Gates: I haven't used Windows for years, and I don't miss it one bit⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 25, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Arch_Linux⦈_ Quoting: Why I switched to Linux and never looked back at Windows — Want to install Windows 11? Good luck with that! Not only will you need to ensure your system meets the requirements, but you'll also need to pass through countless steps on privacy-related choices, some relating to advertising. Then there's the requirement for a Microsoft account to be created. There are some ways to get around this, but for the average user installing Windows on their PC, they will feel compelled to do so. I grew tired of having to do this when setting up Windows on various test benches. Each time I loaded up Windows, the PIN would need to be reset due to hardware changes. This would require me to fetch my password manager on my smartphone, to then manually enter the Microsoft account password and reset the PIN on the Windows installation to the same PIN it was previously. Swap out another piece of hardware? Same deal again. With Linux, you don't have to do any of this. Some distros may ask you about telemetry to help with development, and some may offer an account, like Ubuntu, but it's mostly optional.

That’s right - you can write English using letters that aren’t Latin characters. If you’re using KDE Plasma version 6.4 or earlier, go to the “Region & Language” system settings page and search “en_US.” You’ll see two locales in the results, and they both say they’re “en_US.” The latter en_US doesn’t seem to be English at all. It turns out that the “weird” English is the “America English Desret” locale, and the “normal” en_US is called “America English Latin”.

University of Toronto ☛ Connecting_M.2_drives_to_various_things_(and not_doing_so)⠀⇛ As a result of discovering that (M.2) NVMe SSDs seem to have become the dominant form of SSDs, I started looking into what you could connect M.2 NVMe SSDs to. Especially I started looking to see if you could turn M.2 NVMe SSDs into SATA SSDs, so you could connect high capacity M.2 NVMe SSDs to, for example, your existing stock of ZFS fileservers (which use SATA SSDs). The short version is that as far as I can tell, there's nothing that does this, and once I started thinking about it I wasn't as surprised as I might be. * ⚓ How_to_Enable_VLC_Dark_Mode_in_Linux,_backdoored_Windows_&_Android⠀⇛ Today due to different reasons users are opting for a dark theme for devices.

Installing PowerDNS on Fedora 42 provides system administrators with a powerful, scalable DNS infrastructure that can handle both authoritative and recursive DNS services efficiently. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_MailSpring_on_Manjaro⠀⇛ MailSpring stands as one of the most powerful open-source email clients available for GNU/Linux distributions, offering a perfect blend of modern features and reliable performance. For Manjaro users seeking a comprehensive email solution, MailSpring delivers advanced capabilities including email tracking, contact enrichment, customizable templates, and seamless multi-account management. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_HandBrake_on_AlmaLinux_10⠀⇛ HandBrake stands as the premier open-source video transcoder for GNU/Linux systems, offering powerful multimedia conversion capabilities without licensing costs.
