The codename uniquely identifies that suite. We also use changeable aliases to add meaning to the suite’s lifecycle. For example, trixie currently has the alias stable, but when forky becomes stable instead, trixie will become known as oldstable. This post uses either codenames or aliases depending on context. In source lists, codenames are generally preferred since that avoids surprise major upgrades right after a release is made.

I recently attended Flock (for the first time ) at the beginning of the summer. I had the privilege of facilitating a workshop with Emma Kidney about getting started in the Fedora Design Team. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ The_virtualization_game_has_changed:_A_new_playbook for_IT_leaders⠀⇛ In today's business, success isn't just about playing the game–it's about having the right strategy to win. Like a top team constantly adapting its formation to a changing opponent, organisations are grappling with complex IT environments, rising costs, and the need to modernise for workloads like AI. The question is, how do we find a way forward that provides greater control and a clear path to innovation? The answer lies in how we approach virtualization. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Streamlining_migration_to_OpenShift_Virtualization with_automation_and_expert_guidance⠀⇛ Migrating traditional VM workloads demands a well planned approach. This is where the synergy of Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, and Red Hat Consulting, or your preferred partner services, is key to success.  * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Seamless_hybrid_cloud_storage:_NetApp’s_certified OpenShift_operator_for_Trident⠀⇛ Managing persistent storage for stateful apps introduces complexity, especially when your clusters span on-premises infrastructure and cloud environments like Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA). Different environments can mean different tooling, different processes, and more friction than you'd like. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Navigating_AI_risk:_Building_a_trusted_foundation with_Red_Hat⠀⇛ As organizations adopt AI , they encounter significant security and safety hurdles. These advanced workloads need robust infrastructure and scalable resources and a comprehensive security posture that extends across the AI lifecycle. Many AI projects struggle to reach production because of these significant safety and security concerns. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Unlocking_the_next_layer_of_Hey_Hi_(AI)_adoption_in the_UK⠀⇛ Red Hat has formed a collaboration with Great Wave Hey Hi (AI) to make Hey Hi (AI) more usable for organisations of all sizes.Red Hat has a bold vision to help enterprises bridge their existing world and the new world of AI: supporting any model, on any accelerator, on any cloud, powered by open source. At this year’s Red Bait Summit, we made dozens of announcements extending our Hey Hi (AI) portfolio and ecosystem partnerships. Since then, we are excited to have formed a collaboration with Great Wave AI, a UK-based provider of an agentic generative Hey Hi (AI) (gen AI) platform. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ vLLM_Semantic_Router:_Improving_efficiency_in_Hey_Hi_(AI) reasoning⠀⇛ Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used in production, but not all queries require the same depth of reasoning. Some requests are simple (for example, "What is 2+2?") while others (for example, "Find the 100th Fibonacci number") demand extended reasoning and context. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Scaling_DeepSeek-style_MoEs_with_vLLM_and_llm-d_using_Wide EP⠀⇛ The contents of this article were discussed in detail during our biweekly vLLM office hours virtual event: [...] * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Declaratively_assigning_DNS_records_to_virtual_machines⠀⇛ Virtual machines often use friendly names rather than just IP addresses, which requires the creation of a DNS_record. This is primarily because many virtual machines are treated as "pets" rather than "cattle," which requires that a unique identity, including a network identity, be assigned. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 553 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/12/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/12/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 12, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇trizen⦈_ * ⚓ trizen_-_lightweight_AUR_package_manager_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ trizen is a lightweight AUR package manager.

So, you’re probably looking at some soldering and such just to build a cable that will work with an iffy stack. So, I could probably make it work given enough time, but I don’t have that time to spare working with weird Pi serial problems, so I have always used USB converters when I need serial from a Pi. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 814 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/12/Free_Libre_Software_LibreOffice_and_Openwashing_by_Microsoft_OS.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/12/Free_Libre_Software_LibreOffice_and_Openwashing_by_Microsoft_OS.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free, Libre Software, LibreOffice, and Openwashing by Microsoft OSI⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 12, 2025 * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ FOSS_Weekly_#25.37:_Mint_22.2_Released,_Official_KDE Distro,_Kazeta_GNU/Linux_for_90s_Gaming,_Ubuntu_25.10's_New_Terminal_and More_GNU/Linux_Stuff⠀⇛ It's all about new releases. * § Openwashing⠀➾ o ⚓ Open Source Initiative ☛ Report_from_OSS_EU_2025_and_AI_dev: What’s_next_for_OSAID [Ed: Microsoft lobbying and openwashing for a Ponzi scheme, funded by Microsoft]⠀⇛ At this year’s Open Source Summit EU (OSS EU 2025) and AI_dev EU 2025, Stefano Maffulli, Executive Director of OSI, and Jordan Marris, OSI’s EU Policy Analyst, presented a summary of 10 months since the release of the Open Source Hey Hi (AI) Definition v1.0. * § Events⠀➾ o ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_Blogs:_FSD_meeting_recap_2025-08-29⠀⇛ Check out the important work our volunteers accomplished * § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ o ⚓ Document Foundation ☛ New_“LibreOffice_Expert_2025/2026” magazines_available_for_schools_and_local_communities⠀⇛ A few weeks ago, GNU/Linux New Media released an updated version of its “LibreOffice Expert” magazine, which contains tutorials, tips and tricks about the office suite.

In light of this, this release adds a search feature to both fwupdtool and fwupdmgr. That means users can now quickly look up available updates or information directly from the command line, making update management a bit more straightforward. At the same time, the developers tackled some important bug fixes. One issue involved missing release locations when loading from artifacts, which has now been resolved.

Vogel says, without a hint of scorn regarding Trainer’s efforts, that “having parts of the rendering pipeline in JavaScript felt like cheating.” Despite the ‘cheating,’ the DuckDB-DOOM clone only runs at around 8 FPS, and it uses a lower resolution.

At this point I have been using it for a week, and here is all you care about if you visited this post. Let’s go! * ⚓ SparkFun Electronics ☛ XRP_Project:_Adding_Mecanum_Wheels_and_How Mecanum_Works⠀⇛ In this tutorial, Travis Foss discusses how to expand the functionality of the XRP by incorporating a Mecanum wheel design. He shares his experience of designing and assembling a frame for the XRP that can be printed in one piece using a LulzBot TAZ6 printer. The tutorial covers the design process, software setup, and assembly tips to enhance the robot's functionality. Foss also provides detailed instructions on modifying the software to accommodate the new Mecanum wheel setup. This is a more advanced tutorial; it may be beneficial to have some experience with electronics, 3D Printing, and coding before attempting. * ⚓ Identity4 ☛ Racintosh_Plus⠀⇛ This just wont do! I ought to make a rack-mounted version of this computer so it can fit cleanly in my studio rack cabinets along with all my other conveniently packaged gear. I will even give it a sleek look and a clever name, something like Racintosh Plus... Hahaha yeah that's pretty funny. * ⚓ [Old] Peter Moulding ☛ Raspberry_Pi_585⠀⇛ I had a spare 100% keyboard with an unused numeric keypad and some keys breaking down. I removed the numeric keyboard, inserted a Pi 5, and tested the combination. It worked well but the result is still a big lump. The prototype would fit together better if the Pi 5 was formatted like the Pi 500 with all the ports along one edge. I could then use my favourite form of keyboard, the smaller 85% or TKL keyboard. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1842 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/12/openSUSE_s_Agama_Installer_17_Released_with_UI_Improvements.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/12/openSUSE_s_Agama_Installer_17_Released_with_UI_Improvements.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ openSUSE’s Agama Installer 17 Released with UI Improvements⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 12, 2025, updated Sep 12, 2025 Quoting: openSUSE's Agama Installer 17 Released with UI Improvements — Agama, the new, still-in-development Linux installer from openSUSE, released version 17, unveiling various UI enhancements and practical new features.

PGD nodes are Postgres instances with PGD metadata, all connected and talking to each other, doing logical replication of DDL (structures) and DML (data). The PGD philosophy is also pretty cloud-native in that if something goes wrong with a node we can just delete it and recreate it and it will resync all data it missed, no problem. So I want to show you how to create a three-node PGD cluster in AWS, the easy (but still manual) way. This isn't a full production setup but it will help you get started. And then we'll play around a bit with replication and dropping and recreating nodes in the cluster. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1934 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/12/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/12/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 12, 2025 * ⚓ Debarshi_Ray:_Toolbx_—_about_version_numbers⠀⇛ Those of you who follow the Toolbx project might have noticed something odd about our latest_release that came out a month ago. The version number looked shorter than usual even though it only had relatively conservative and urgent bug-fixes, and no new enhancements. If you were wondering about this, then, yes, you are right. Toolbx will continue to use these shorter version numbers from now on. The following is a brief history of how the Toolbx version numbers evolved over time since the beginning of the project till this present moment. * ⚓ Ankur_Sinha_"FranciscoD":_Bash_functions_for_working_with_UV⠀⇛ I finally made the switch from pip to uv recently. uv is much quicker that pip. I won't go into how/why here, but I will link you to this_video_that_explains_it. When working with packages such as PyNeuroML that have quite a few dependencies, the speed up begins to matter, especially when one is developing and may create and remove virtual environments quite often. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Debugging_Vs_Printing⠀⇛ We’ll admit it. We have access to great debugging tools and, yes, sometimes they are invaluable. But most of the time, we’ll just throw a few print statements in whatever program we’re running to better understand what’s going on inside of it. [Loop Invariant] wants to point out to us that there are things a proper debugger can do that you can’t do with print statements. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Using_An_MCU’s_Own_Debug_Peripheral_To_Defeat_Bootrom Protection⠀⇛ Released in July of 2025, the Tamagotchi Paradise may look somewhat like the late 90s toy that terrorized parents and teachers alike for years, but it’s significantly more complex and powerful hardware-wise. This has led many to dig into its ARM Cortex-M3-powered guts, including [Yukai Li] who recently tripped over a hidden section in the bootrom of the dual-core Sonix SNC73410 MCU that makes up most of the smarts inside this new Tamagotchi toy. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Transfer_Learning_using_ahead::ridge2f_on_synthetic_stocks returns_Pt.2:_synthetic_data_generation⠀⇛ * ⚓ Rlang ☛ R6_Interfaces_For_Backend:_Define_What,_Not_How⠀⇛ A Practical Guide to Faking External Dependencies and Business Logic with R6 Classes for Reliable Tests. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Little_useless-useful_R_functions_–_Markov_babbler⠀⇛ This one is named, yes, you guessed it, after Markov chains. 🙂 The babbler is there to connotate the simplicity of useless R function. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Rust Blog ☛ The_Rust_Programming_Language_Blog:_Rust_compiler performance_survey_2025_results⠀⇛ Two months ago, we launched the first Rust_Compiler Performance_Survey, with the goal of helping us understand the biggest pain points of Rust developers related to build performance. It is clear that this topic is very important for the Rust community, as the survey received over 3 700 responses! We would like to thank everyone who participated in the survey, and especially those who described their workflows and challenges with an open answer. We plan to run this survey annually, so that we can observe long-term trends in Rust build performance and its perception. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2047 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/12/Q4OS_6_1_Distro_Is_Out_Based_on_Debian_13_with_KDE_Plasma_and_T.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/12/Q4OS_6_1_Distro_Is_Out_Based_on_Debian_13_with_KDE_Plasma_and_T.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Q4OS 6.1 Distro Is Out Based on Debian 13 with KDE Plasma and Trinity Desktops⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Sep 12, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Q4OS_6.1⦈_ Based on the latest and greatest Debian 13 “Trixie” operating system series, Q4OS 6.1 (codename Andromeda) ships with the KDE Plasma 6.3.6 and Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) 14.1.5 desktop environments.

A secondary OS should strike a balance between familiarity and flexibility, providing a smooth way to explore new software or rescue your system when the primary OS has issues. It doesn’t need to replace your primary OS, but it should work well as a reliable companion. Three standout options are Linux Mint, Fedora KDE Plasma Edition, and Ubuntu Cinnamon. Each has unique strengths that make it worth considering, but only one emerges as the best fit for most users. By looking at how each performs in everyday use, I've found that Ubuntu Cinnamon is the strongest candidate to fill this role.

By reducing the number of CSS files, you decrease HTTP requests, which can significantly improve page load times. Additionally, maintaining a single CSS file can simplify your workflow, making it easier to manage styles across different components. Furthermore, a single, minified CSS file can enhance the performance of your website, leading to a better user experience. * ⚓ SANS ☛ BASE64_Over_DNS⠀⇛ I was interested to learn more about this, because DNS labels can only contain letters, digits and a hyphen. If you make a distinction between uppercase and lowercase letters, you have exactly 63 characters to choose from. While BASE64 requires 64 characters (and a 65th character for padding: =). So how can the backdoor use BASE64 in a label, since RFC 1035 (and updates) does not allow characters +, / and = ? I did some tests. * ⚓ How_to_Fix_“cdrom://_Debian_GNU/Linux_13.1.0_Trixie_DVD”_Error_in_APT⠀⇛ Recently, after installing Debian 13 (Trixie) using a DVD or ISO, when I tried to update the system by running the sudo apt update command, I got this error: This is not something that only happened with Debian 13, but also with other versions.

On Windows ARM hosts, a bug preventing virtual machines from starting has been fixed. Linux hosts received several improvements, including resolving VBox Manager freezes at startup or when adding a VM, along with support for KVM APIs in kernel 6.16.0 and newer. On macOS, internal networking issues and VM crashes on Arm-based systems have been corrected.

An inconsistent little problem, too. On a Linux host, I have two Linux virtual machines configured in VirtualBox, both Kubuntu 24.04. One uses LUKS encryption, set up as part of the operating system installation, the other does not. Both use Guest Additions, installed from the official repositories. The former throws an error. It reads: vmugfx 0000:00:02 .0: [drm] *ERROR* vmugfx seems to be running on an unsupported hypervisor. This configuration is likely broken. Please switch to a supported graphics device to avoid problems. Now, this error only shows during the boot sequence. And it does not seem to affect the functionality of the virtual machine in any way. Screen resizing, screen lock, none of it. But still, let's get rid of it, shall we. As it happens, while the error message is extremely nerdy, it actually makes sense. VirtualBox tells us to switch to a supported graphics device. And then, I remembered writing about the black screen issues with Linux guests some time ago. Perhaps I need to change the graphics controller used by the affected Kubuntu instance?
