Starting with AlmaLinux 10, the CodeReady Builder (CRB) repository will be enabled by default. The update is now available and will also be included in the upcoming Alma 10.1 release. For those unfamiliar, CRB is a collection of packages not traditionally included in enterprise Linux distributions. A lot of them are development-related, but some are simply required by desktop environments and popular tools—KDE Plasma being one of the big examples.

I filed the complaint electronically. I've since there been told by several people that this was the right thing to do. As my informal friend Michael at the market put it, those birds are on his van because they used to have trees all over the place, but we took away the trees to make space for humans. Thankfully there have been nothing but baffled responses to my complaint, which left the culprits unwilling or super-hesitant to contact me on this matter again. Put another way, they leave me alone. No more E-mail communications or any other efforts at becoming a nuisance. Sharing is caring. Sharing food is a good thing. Denying people the right to share food should be the real issue. If anyone tries to tell you that sharing is wrong, then push back. Don't give up. It's immoral to prevent people from sharing. █ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣴⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠈⠟⠛⠛⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿ ⢀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣴⣤⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠛⠛⢻⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⣛⠛⠂⠐⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡀⢘⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠍⠹⣿⠞⢽⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠈⠵⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡉⠉⣿⢻⣷⢹⠨⠿⠿⣿⠿⠿⡿⠹⠿⠿⠿⠉⠈⠘⠋⠀⠀⠈⠀⠉⠂⠉⠙⠛⣿⣻⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⣯⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠙⠋⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⡀⠀⠀⠨⣿⣿⢟⣿⣿⣏⣝⣿⣽⣹⣏⣟⣛⣿⣟⣋⣛⣛⣛⣟⠿⢙⣋⣛⣯⣭⣭⣤⣤⣀⡀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠶⠂⡀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣄⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠹⣭⣭⣿⣟⣻⣿⣿⠿⣛⣛⣿⣟⣛⣛⣛⣷⣶⣛⣛⣒⣂⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⢈⣉⣁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣦⡀⠀⠂⡂⣀⢀⣙⣻⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠉⢺⡟⣿⡅⡮⢻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢯ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣷⣆⠀⠀⠈⠊⠺⡁⠁⢸⡷⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣟⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠸⣵⢸⣿⣮⣙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣾⣿⣿⣂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠈⠍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 449 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/09/BSD_OpenBSD_NetBSD_and_FreeBSD.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/09/BSD_OpenBSD_NetBSD_and_FreeBSD.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ BSD: OpenBSD, NetBSD, and FreeBSD⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 09, 2025 * ⚓ Binshdev ☛ How_to_perform_common_FreeBSD_tasks_on_OpenBSD⠀⇛ I'm a bit of a ThinkPad freak, and since i386 will no longer be supported in the next 15.x release of FreeBSD, I've decided to move my 32-bit machines to OpenBSD. I have quite a few of those laying around, including the X41, X41 tablet, X60, T60, R50e, and G40. They are still quite usable for lightweight tasks like email, IRC, document editing, configuring networking equipment with the built-in serial port, remotely managing other machines, etc. This post will serve as reminder for myself on some of the most common tasks I do on FreeBSD, with the equivalent OpenBSD commands. What I consider to be "common tasks" are things like updating/upgrading the operating system, port/package management, configuring wired/wireless networking, setting up a graphical environment, mounting external drives, etc. * ⚓ NetBSD ☛ Google_Summer_of_Code_2025_Reports:_Asynchronous_I/ O_Framework⠀⇛ The goal is to improve the capabilities of asynchronous IO within NetBSD. Originally the project espoused a model that pinned a single worker thread to each process. That thread would iterate over pending jobs and complete blocking IO. From this, the logical next step was to support an arbitrary number of worker threads. Each process now has a pool of workers recycled from a freelist, and jobs are grouped per-file so that we do not thrash multiple threads on the same vnode which would inevitably lock. This grouping also opens the door for future optimisations in concurrency. The guiding principle is to keep submission cheap, coalesce work sensibly, and only spawn threads when the kernel would otherwise block. * ⚓ Adriaan de Groot ☛ KDE_Plasma_6_Wayland_on_FreeBSD⠀⇛ This year, 2025, the KDE Community held its yearly conference in Berlin, Germany. On the way I reinstalled FreeBSD on my Frame.work 13 laptop in another attempt to get KDE Plasma 6 Wayland working. Short story: yes, KDE Plasma 6 Wayland on FreeBSD works. This time I followed the instructions from thesaigoneer_on Codeberg. It did not feel different from any previous attempt of mine. However, it did work instead of hang, so that’s an important difference. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 521 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/09/Canonical_Ubuntu_Ubuntu_Weekly_Newsletter_and_How_To_Upgrade_Ub.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/09/Canonical_Ubuntu_Ubuntu_Weekly_Newsletter_and_How_To_Upgrade_Ub.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Canonical/Ubuntu: Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter and How To Upgrade Ubuntu 24.04⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 09, 2025 * ⚓ Ubuntu Fridge ☛ The_Fridge:_Ubuntu_Weekly_Newsletter_Issue_908⠀⇛ Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue 908 for the week of August 31 – September 6, 2025.

If so, then that means you are looking for how to upgrade Ubuntu system to a point release. The term "Point Release" to Ubuntu users is more or less similar to "Service Pack" known to Microsoft Windows users which is a whole system upgrade (bug fixes and improvements) within current release major version. That means, in this concept, to us Ubuntu 24.04.3 (Point Three) is more or less similar to Windows XP SP3. This tutorial will explain the procedures with an example of upgrading Ubuntu Noble from fresh install to Point Three. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 568 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/09/diffoscope_306_released.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/09/diffoscope_306_released.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ diffoscope 306 released⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 09, 2025 The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of diffoscope version 306.

Units are categorized by the type of resource they represent and they are defined with files known as unit files. The type of each unit can be inferred from the suffix on the end of the file. A unit file contains configuration directives that describe the unit and define its behavior. Several systemctl commands work with unit files in the background. This article picks some useful GUI tools that make configuring systemd much easier. Here’s our verdict captured in a legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart.

This is useful for people whose freedom of expression is threatened by repressive authorities or dangerous criminal organizations, in particular: whistleblowers, investigative journalists, and activists for human rights in oppressive regimes. You can consider Shufflecake a “spiritual successor” of tools such as TrueCrypt and VeraCrypt. It works natively on Linux, it supports any filesystem of choice, and can concurrently manage multiple nested volumes per device, so to make deniability of the existence of these partitions really plausible. * ⚓ Bookup_-_streamline_notes_with_Markdown_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Bookup is a simple and efficient note-taking application designed as a clone of Notes-up.

The phone sports a powerful Mediatek Dimensity 7050 with 8 cores, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. I’ve already set up shell access via ssh with a SSH key-pair following the ubports guide. This lets me log into the phone from my Linux PC, as I’m a big fan of the shell. Libertine is a confined sandbox where you can install deb- packaged desktop-based Ubuntu applications. They can be CLI, TUI, or GUI apps. But Libertine is not designed to run server applications. I first recommend installing Libertine Tweak Tool as I’ll need the lish shell command to complete an installation step. Without using lish, I’m unable to install desktop apps on the phone because of an error processing the dnsmasq-base package. * ⚓ Twake_Drive_-_alternative_to_Google_Drive_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Twake Drive offers an encrypted data storage solution.

Search by contents, name or sender easily and effortlessly * ⚓ markdownlint_-_static_analysis_tool_for_Node.js_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ markdownlint is a Node.js style checker and lint tool for Markdown/CommonMark files. markdownlint is a static analysis tool for Node.js with a library of rules to enforce standards and consistency for Markdown files. markdownlint uses the micromark parser and honors the CommonMark specification for Markdown. It additionally supports popular GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) syntax like autolinks and tables as well as directives, footnotes, and math syntax – all implemented by micromark extensions. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ markdownlint_-_tool_to_check_markdown_files_and_flag_style_issues_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ markdownlint is a tool to check markdown files and flag style issues.

IRC is a real-time communication technology that allows people to socialize online in both chat rooms and private chat sessions. As a decentralized communication protocol, anyone can set up an IRC server and connect multiple servers into networks, with the source code for these servers readily available ever since its inception by a student, and IRC clients are correspondingly very easy to write. In a recent video [The Serial Port] channel dedicates a video to IRC and why all of this makes it into such a great piece of technology, not to mention a great part of recent history. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1041 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/09/Games_Ultrasound_Tic_Tactic_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/09/Games_Ultrasound_Tic_Tactic_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Ultrasound, Tic Tactic, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 09, 2025 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Sci-fi_adventure_Ultrasound_will_bring_a_different_kind of_body_horror⠀⇛ A different kind of body horror as you diagnose bizarre malformations all over a spaceship, Ultrasound is a grim (but great) looking point and click adventure.

I have been unable to identify a Council team that has contacted you about this. If you have received any written communication from us, please can you let us have a copy so that we can use this to see which team sent it.") and it alludes to some miscommunication, which resulted in them contacting a private company (you've got to loathe privatisation).

People started using Sysprof to have insights about the internal states of Webkit, gather data on how long different operations took, and more. Eventually we started hitting some limitations in Sysprof, mostly in the UI itself, such as lack of correlational and visualization features. Earlier this year a rather interesting enhancement in Sysprof was added: it is now possible to filter the_callgraph_based_on_marks.

Each backdoored Windows Server version does something different, though thinking about that OS gives me a sufficient headache that I’d rather not discuss. Linux in particular has always been interesting for their wildly different architecture and approaches.

The incidents appeared short-lived, ending with the reassuring "All components are Operational" message. Case closed, right? Not exactly. While Canonical's servers came back online quickly, the real problems were just beginning. Users flooded the company's forums throughout the weekend, reporting failed installations and frozen updates.

Users are describing symptoms like “font in Chrome looks terrible,” “renderer is completely broken,” and “pixelated or blank.” I’ve seen people trying everything — wiping browser profiles, reinstalling Chrome, updating graphics drivers, switching between X11 and Wayland sessions.

The workaround can be disabled by setting the KWIN_DRM_DISABLE_AMD_GAMMA_WORKAROUND variable to 1. KDE Plasma 6.4.5 also promises a better fix for a top crash in the Plasma desktop that occurred when opening the Notifications history with any notifications in it, improves the reliability of restoring screen settings, and updates the Task Manager theme previews to use the correct color scheme.

As expected from a point release, it focuses squarely on fixing bugs and tightening up stability. With that said, a significant portion of the changes have been implemented in KWin, Plasma’s window manager. On the Wayland side, developers addressed several issues with color management, rendering intent, and output handling. Fixes also include better handling of disabled outputs, more reliable gamma LUT usage with AMD GPUs, and ensuring animations wrap up properly. X11 users get attention too, with Spectacle pop-up menus now blacklisted from fading effects to avoid glitches. ⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢐⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿ ⠀⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠠⢀⣀⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣟⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⡶⣿⣦⡾ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣀⣀⣥⣤⣼⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠫⢵⣿⣿⣿⣯⡹⣿⡄⠻⣿⠀⠻⠟ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⣤⡀⠀⣀⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠉⠀⠀⣚⣻⣿⣿⣿⠿⠇⠘⠁⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣆⣾⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣩⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣴⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢁⣭⣽⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⢀⣀⣂⣐⡀⣺⣉⣩⣿⣫⣯⣝⢻⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⡀⠀⠀⢀⣡⣭⣽⣟⣃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⢸⣷⣿⠅⣿⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⢩⣿⣯⣽⢿⣷⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⡶⣶⣴⣖⣦⠀⣿⡷⣯⢀⣠⣿⣿⡯⣹⠷⢦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠈⠼⠇⣙⣗⡻⢿⣿⣼⠿⣿⣦⡺⠻⣿⣞⠟⠻⣿⣿⠿⠟⢿⣿⡏⠻⠻⣿⣿⠙⠻⢿⡿⠟⣻⣿⣿⡿⣙⠳⠟⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣈⣙⢿⣿⣆⢻⣿⡆⠙⠿⠁⠀⠹⠋⠀⠀⠙⠟⠀⠀⠈⠛⡁⠀⠀⠈⣁⠀⠀⢠⣦⠀⢿⣏⠻⣦⡉⠓⠢⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣼⣿⣿⣧⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⣿⠀⠙⠻⣿⣷⣻⣿⡆⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠟⠄⠀⠀⠻⣤⠀⠀⠹⣷⡀⠈⢿⣧⡈⠻⢷⣌⡙⠳⢦⣄⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠲⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠋⠀⠀⡈⠛⠂⠄⡉⠛⢶⣤⡉⠛⠒⠠⡀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣬⣻⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⣿⣿⣿⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠴⢾⣿⣦⡙⠻⣿⣷⡀⠚⢿⣿⣦⡀⠠⣶⣶⣶⡄⠀⠀⣠⣤⣄⠀⢀⣠⣤⣄⣠⣴⣶⣤⡶ ⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣶⣦⡙⣿⡷⠀⠹⠟⠁⠀⠀⠹⡿⠃⠀⢀⠉⢿⣿⠀⠈⠙⠻⣿⣷⡈⠙⠻⣿⣧⠈⠙⣿⣷ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡹⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⣦⣦⣶⣾⣶⣾⣶⣴⣶⣶⣶⡘⠟⠁⠀⠀⢹⠟⠀⠀⠘⠋ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠴⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠉⠉⠉⠂⠀⠉⠉⠙⠀⠈⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠆⠀⠁⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⡿⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠢⠄⠀⠑⠫⠀⠄⠀ ⣿⣯⣏⣉⣿⣹⣿⣿⣿⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1642 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/09/Less_Than_Two_Days_Left_to_Turn_Off_Secure_Boot.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/09/Less_Than_Two_Days_Left_to_Turn_Off_Secure_Boot.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Less Than Two Days Left to Turn Off "Secure Boot"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 09, 2025, updated Sep 09, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇disable_secure_boot_in_HP_computer⦈_ Where we are it's almost 9/10/2025 already (US-style date).

While it was first seen in 2022 on the Formuler Z11 Pro Max, the RTD1319C is new to me, and it appears to be a variant of the RTD1319 quad-core Cortex-A55 SoC introduced in 2020, which replaces an entry-level Mali-G31 MP2 with an older, mid-range Mali-G57 MC1 GPU that should allow for smoother or higher-resolution user interfaces.

The original Intelligence X280 64-bit RISC-V CPU was introduced in 2021, following the Intelligence X390 NPU in 2023, and the Intelligence XM Series in September 2024. The X160 Gen 2  (32-bit) and X180 Gen 2 (64-bit) are entry-level AIoT CU cores targeting edge compute and IoT applications for automotive, autonomous robotics, industrial automation, and smart IoT applications.

The more you can constrain your software to match your domain model, the easier it will be easier to reason about. However, it’s possible to take it too far. In my view, your software should include as few hard constraints as possible. Real-world software is already subject to the genuinely hard constraints of the real world. If you add further constraints to make your software neater, you risk making it difficult to change when you really, really have to. Because of this, good software design should allow the system to represent some invalid states. * ⚓ Andrew Domain ☛ Gitea_install_En⠀⇛ The git server is one of the most versatile pieces of software that you can find around.

In this article, we will introduce the bring-your-own PKI (BYO- PKI) signature verification through the ClusterImagePolicy and ImagePolicy Hey Hi (AI) This Developer Preview feature (available from 4.19) enables you to validate container images using an existing X.509 certificate while aligning with Cosign's BYO-PKI signing workflow.  § Cosign bring-your-own PKI signing The following example generates the certificate chain using OpenSSL commands. We then use Cosign BYO-PKI to sign the image and attach the signature to the quay.io registry. ClusterImagePolicy requires a subject alternative name (SAN) to authenticate the user’s identity, which can be either a hostname or an email address. In this case, both a hostname and an email address were specified when generating the certificate. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Scaling_DeepSeek_and_Sparse_MoE_models_in_vLLM_with_llm-d⠀⇛ The contents of this article were discussed in detail during our biweekly vLLM office hours virtual event: vLLM_Office_Hours #29]_Scaling_MoE_with_llm-d.

This integration, illustrated in Figure 1, enables Ansible Automation Platform to securely authenticate with multiple managed clusters through the centralized authentication capabilities of Red Bait Advanced Cluster Management. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Taming_hybrid_cloud_complexity:_A_path_to_true agility⠀⇛ I've had the unique opportunity to see this problem from both sides. In my previous roles leading customer-facing teams, I saw firsthand how our customers leveraged Red Hat OpenShift to tackle their most complex challenges, such as streamlining their hybrid cloud experiences and reducing operational complexity. It was profoundly rewarding to see them use our platform to break free from the status quo. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Is_your_RHEL_installation_getting_old?_Here's_what to_do⠀⇛ Every version of RHEL has a lifecycle that defines the level of support it receives over time. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Establishing_a_sustainable_automation_community_of practice⠀⇛ Note: The terms center of excellence, community of excellence, and community of practice are often used interchangeably within the industry. You can learn more about how Red Hat differentiates between a center of excellence and a community of practice in this blog. Regardless of terminology used, what's most important is to focus on the right approaches, activities, and outcomes.  * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Accelerate_your_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_10_skills with_Red_Hat_Learning_Subscription⠀⇛ With new capabilities powered by Red Hat Enterprise Linux Lightspeed you can streamline complex tasks with confidence using the skills learned in the content, freeing up more time to focus on driving innovation and a resilient infrastructure. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2507 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/09/Security_and_Windows_TCO_Microsoft_Breaches.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/09/Security_and_Windows_TCO_Microsoft_Breaches.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security and Windows TCO / Microsoft Breaches⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 09, 2025 * ⚓ SANS ☛ HTTP_Request_Signatures,_(Mon,_Sep_8th)⠀⇛ * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Chinese_Spies_Impersonated_US_Lawmaker_to_Deliver Malware_to_Trade_Groups:_Report⠀⇛ China’s APT41 sent out malicious emails on behalf of Rep.

What I found far exceeded my expectations: fake access controls, bogus protocol encryption, completely unprotected cloud uploads and firmware riddled with security flaws. One could even say that these cameras are Murphy’s Law turned solid: everything that could be done wrong has been done wrong here. While there is considerable prior research on these and similar cameras that outlines some of the flaws, I felt that the combination of severe flaws is reason enough to publish an article of my own. My findings should apply to any camera that can be managed via the LookCam app. This includes cameras meant to be used with less popular apps of the same developer: tcam, CloudWayCam, VDP, AIBoxcam, IP System. Note that the LookCamPro app, while visually very similar, is technically quite different. It also uses the PPPP protocol for low-level communication but otherwise doesn’t seem to be related, and the corresponding devices are unlikely to suffer from the same flaws. * § Windows TCO / Microsoft Breaches⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ [Microsoft]_npm_debug_and_chalk_packages_compromised_ (Aikido)⠀⇛ The Aikido blog describes an apparently ongoing series of phishing attacks against [Microsoft] npm package maintainers, resulting in the uploading of compromised versions of heavily used packages: [...] o ⚓ Security Week ☛ GitHub_Workflows_Attack_Affects_Hundreds_of Repos,_Thousands_of_Secrets⠀⇛ A supply chain attack called GhostAction has enabled threat actors to steal secrets and exploit them. o ⚓ Security Week ☛ Salesloft_Microsoft's_proprietary_prison_GitHub Account_Compromised_Months_Before_Salesfarce_Attack⠀⇛ The list of impacted cybersecurity firms has been expanded to include BeyondTrust, Bugcrowd, CyberArk, Cato Networks, JFrog, and Rubrik. o ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Salesloft_Drift_security_incident_started_with undetected_Microsoft's_proprietary_prison_GitHub_access⠀⇛ The company said a threat actor accessed and snooped around its account for months, then stole OAuth tokens for Drift integrations from its cloud environment. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2619 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/09/Slick_New_MPD_Client_Euphonica_is_Now_Available_on_Flathub.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/09/Slick_New_MPD_Client_Euphonica_is_Now_Available_on_Flathub.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Slick New MPD Client Euphonica is Now Available on Flathub⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 09, 2025 * ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ Euphonica_MPD_Client_added_official_Flatpak_package for_Linux⠀⇛ Euphonica, the modern GTK4 based MPD client, finally added official package for Linux.

Fed up with dragging apps from one workspace to another, trying to keep everything organized? Well, here are my five favorite Ubuntu Extensions (GNOME Extensions) that’ll transform how you manage windows on your Ubuntu PC. Ubuntu uses a customized version of the GNOME desktop environment that believes in offering a minimal and more focused user experience. It heavily leans into the use of virtual desktops, called Workspaces, and wants you to limit yourself to one or at most two windows per workspace. Unfortunately, this feels very limiting to me, which is why I always install these five GNOME extensions to enable window tiling and take full control over window management.

Many RSS feeds that we used to follow became spam, slop, or both. Some sites went offline. Some became inactive. "Planets" (e.g. Ubuntu of Fedora) aren't very active; they're quite stagnant. In a way that frees up time and gives us greater capacity to produce our own articles. Our originals_section grew fast lately.

This term originated before the Internet, in the context of testing circuits. A loop test literally ensured that a signal would go to the far end of the circuit and return as expected. A failure meant something was wrong. * ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ How_to_Find_Nginx_Cache_File_Location_on_Linux⠀⇛ * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ We_can't_expect_people_to_pick_'good' software⠀⇛ One of the things I've come to believe in (although I'm not consistent about it) is that we can't expect people to pick software that is 'good' in a technical sense. People certainly can and do pick software that is good in that it works nicely, has a user interface that works for them, and so on, which is to say all of the parts of 'good' that they can see and assess, but we can't expect people to go beyond that, to dig deeply into the technical aspects to see how good their choice of software is. For example, how efficiently an IMAP client implements various operations at the protocol level is more or less invisible to most people. Even if you know enough to know about potential technical quality aspects, realistically you have to rely on any documentation the software provides (if it provides anything). Very few people are going to set up an IMAP server test environment and point IMAP clients at it to see how they behave, or try to read the source code of open source clients. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_TeamViewer_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Remote access technology has become fundamental to modern computing workflows.

His original Internet page is still available and gives a sense of the early history: Clean up your Web pages with HTML TIDY. Satisfied with his work, Dave passed the torch to a dedicated group of maintainers at tidy.sourceforge.net where the important tasks of turning Tidy into a C library and keeping up with developing standards was performed. W3C members took a renewed interest in Tidy in 2011 and forked the project to github (now redirects to new maintainers), where it featured compatibility with HTML5 via a key contribution from one of the SourceForge key members. In 2015 a group of concerned developers, users, and software integrators formed HTACG with the goal of revitalizing Tidy, which had fallen into a non-maintained state. As a W3C Community Group, HTACG was deemed worthy by the W3C, and W3C passed ownership of their project to HTACG, where it is currently being developed and prepped for a new, stable, and modern release. * o ⚓ Sean McPherson ☛ Install_curl_with_apt_(and_not_snap)⠀⇛ I think I need to learn about the differences between apt and snap, and why you would choose one versus the other. If you have a good resources for that, please let me know. o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Defending_an_open_web:_What_the_Google_search ruling_means_for_the_future⠀⇛ Last week, Judge Amit Mehta issued a ruling in the remedies proceedings of the U.S. v. Google LLC search case. Among the issues addressed, one key aspect that stood out for us was the court’s ruling on Google’s search agreements.  # ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Why_Firefox's_media_autoplay settings_are_complicated_and_imperfect⠀⇛ In Firefox, this makes it quite hard to actually stop a bad website from playing media while preserving your ability to interact with the site. Did you scroll the page with the spacebar? I think that counts as a user gesture. Did you use your mouse scroll wheel? Probably a user gesture. Did you click on anything at all, including to dismiss some banner? Definitely a user gesture. As far as I can tell, the only reliable way you can prevent a web page from starting media playback is to immediately close the page. Basically anything you do to use it is dangerous. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 3433 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 39 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
