On the surface, you’ve got the standard Debian, Fedora, and Arch distros alongside an army of platforms and operating systems modeled after them. But once you dive deeper into the Linux rabbit hole, you’ll come across some truly bizarre distributions that are pretty fun to use despite their quirky nature. There’s Slackware for old-school lovers, Tails OS for privacy- conscious users, and Gentoo for folks who want to tailor every aspect of their daily driver to their liking. Then there’s Qubes OS, which relies on virtualization for practically every task. While it may seem a little complex at first glance, it’s quite user-friendly and works pretty well for most workloads – to the point where I’d call it one of the coolest distributions out there.

When contrasted with the commercial app stores — of which the Google Play store is the most prominent — the differences are stark: they are hotbeds of spyware and scams, blatantly promoting apps that prey on their users through attempts to monetize their attention and mine their intimate information through any means necessary, including trickery and dark patterns. F-Droid is different. It distributes apps that have been validated to work for the user’s interests, rather than for the interests of the app’s distributors. The way F-Droid works is simple: when a developer creates an app and hosts the source code publicly somewhere, the F- Droid team reviews it, inspecting it to ensure that it is completely open source and contains no undocumented anti-features such as advertisements or trackers. Once it passes inspection, the F-Droid build service compiles and packages the app to make it ready for distribution. The package is then signed either with F-Droid’s cryptographic key, or, if the build is reproducible, enables distribution using the original developer’s private key. In this way, users can trust that any app distributed through F-Droid is the one that was built from the specified source code and has not been tampered with. Do you want a weather app that doesn’t transmit your every movement to a shadowy data broker? Or a scheduling assistant that doesn’t siphon your intimate details into an advertisement network? F-Droid has your back. Just as sunlight is the best disinfectant against corruption, open source is the best defense against software acting against the interests of the user. Read_on Also: * ⚓ F-Droid_and_Google's_Developer_Registration_Decree⠀⇛ The F-Droid project has posted an urgent message regarding Google's plan to require developer registration to install apps on Android devices. The Register: * ⚓ Google's_dev_registration_plan_'will_end_the_F-Droid_project⠀⇛ Last month, Google said that from next year, but with a gradual rollout, Android certified devices will only install apps that are registered by verified developers, even when sideloaded, meaning that they are installed from a source other than the official Play store. In a post today Prud'hommeaux said that Google's planned changes are incompatible with F-Droid. "The F-Droid project cannot require that developers register their apps through Google, but at the same time, we cannot 'take over' the application identifiers for the open-source apps we distribute, as that would effectively seize exclusive distribution rights to those applications," he said. "If it were to be put into effect, the developer registration decree will end the F-Droid project and other free/open source app distribution sources as we know them today," said Prud'hommeaux. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 607 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/29/Fish_Shell_4_1_Released_with_Brace_Syntax_Transient_Prompts.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/29/Fish_Shell_4_1_Released_with_Brace_Syntax_Transient_Prompts.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Fish Shell 4.1 Released with Brace Syntax, Transient Prompts⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 29, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Fish_Shell_4.1⦈_ Quoting: Fish Shell 4.1 Released with Brace Syntax, Transient Prompts — Fish shell, a modern Unix shell designed to be user-friendly and easy to use, has announced version 4.1, a new release that builds on the 4.0 series, delivering new features, scripting improvements, terminal compatibility updates, and some removals of older behavior. One of the most visible changes is that compound commands can now be written using braces—{ echo 1; echo 2 }—similar to how other shells handle them. Fish also introduces transient prompts.

First, AMD can only be described as being a bit lazy when describing the installation procedure. They outline that you need to 1) clone the GitHub repository, 2) install GAIA CLI via pip, and then 3) install the Lemonade server. There’s no issue with step 1. But step 2, oh dear! Never install Python software direct to your system via pip. Many Linux distributions won’t let you do this anyway instructing you that the environment is externally managed and Python packages should be installed with a virtual environment. That’s for the simple reason you’ll pollute your system if you don’t create a virtual environment. By pollute, I mean that you will break your system sooner or later. AMD are not alone in failing to describe this adequately, probably because there are quite a few ways to create a virtual environment. I used conda to create the virtual environment, activate the environment, and then install via pip. Next, you need to install the Lemonade server. But AMD’s readme fails to point out the elephant in the room. Here’s a table from Lemonade’s website. * ⚓ v.Nu_-_catch_mistakes_in_HTML,_CSS_and_SVG_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ The Nu Html Checker (v.Nu) helps you catch unintended mistakes in your HTML, CSS, and SVG.

The highlight this time is native support for sessions, letting users easily create and switch between different setups or projects without extra workarounds. Additionally, Kitty introduces a brand-new protocol for multiple cursors within the terminal. That means applications can directly take advantage of multi-cursor editing workflows. * § Events⠀➾ o ⚓ Bootlin ☛ Bootlin_engineer_Louis_Chauvet_talks_at_XDC_2025_in Vienna⠀⇛ The X.Org Developer’s Conference (XDC) is the key annual event for developers shaping the future of Open Graphics technologies, including the GNU/Linux kernel, Mesa, DRM, Wayland, and X11. * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o ⚓ Vermaden ☛ RSS_on_FreeBSD⠀⇛ Initially I followed only several sites over RSS – but more has come over time – and as I get closer to 40 of additional sources – I thought that I could share how to keep track of RSS sources on FreeBSD. o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ The New Stack ☛ Tor:_The_Easiest_Way_to_Securely_Browse_the Web_on_Linux⠀⇛ Part of the reason this has become so rampant today is browser insecurity. Most modern web browsers might make life a bit easier for you (especially with the advent of agentic options), but in the process, they also make things less secure. There are just a few browsers out there that can strike a perfect balance between user-friendliness and security. For example, you could use Brave, which does a fairly good job of handling both of these aspects. Even then, however, you could find yourself vulnerable to either privacy or security issues. Beyond that, most other browsers are not nearly as secure. * § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ o ⚓ Document Foundation ☛ LibreOffice_turns_15:_a_celebration_of freedom,_collaboration_and_open_technologies_and_standards⠀⇛ Fifteen years ago, we announced our ambitious plan to provide the world with a fully free and open office suite created by and for the community. Today, we are celebrating 15 years of LibreOffice — a milestone not only for the software itself, but also for the global movement that it represents. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ APNIC ☛ Edge_cases_in_DNSSEC_validation_with_multiple algorithms⠀⇛ As part of SIDN Labs’ research into post-quantum cryptography (PQC) for Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC), we are investigating PQC algorithms as drop-in replacements for classical algorithms. To facilitate secure replacement, we could consider a transition period where both PQC and classical algorithms are used simultaneously. We are therefore interested to know how resolvers would deal with the validation of Domain Name System (DNS) records in that scenario. In this blog, we discuss our efforts to analyse the feasibility and impact of such a transition period by investigating edge cases in DNSSEC validation with multiple algorithms. In order to analyse the feasibility and impact of a transition period in which PQC and classical algorithms are used simultaneously, we compare what should theoretically happen according to the RFCs with what actually happens in practice. We first briefly talk about DNSSEC, and then discuss how DNSSEC signatures are validated in various cases, and what the impact of new algorithms could be. o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Syndication_feed_fetchers,_HTTP redirects,_and_conditional_GET⠀⇛ The specification compliant answer is that every final (non-redirected) URL must have its ETag and Last-Modified values tracked separately. If you make a conditional GET for URL A because you know its ETag or Last-Modified (or both) and you get a temporary HTTP redirection to another URL B that you don't have an ETag or Last-Modified for, you can't make a conditional GET. This means you have to insure that If-None-Match and especially If-Modified- Since aren't copied from the original HTTP request to the newly re-issued redirect target request. And when you make another request for URL A later, you can't send a conditional GET using ETag or Last-Modified values you got from successfully fetching URL B; you either have to use the last values observed for URL A or make an unconditional GET. In other words, saved ETag and Last- Modified values should be per-URL properties, not per- feed properties. (Unfortunately this may not fit well with feed reader code structures, data storage, or uses of low-level HTTP request libraries that hide things like HTTP redirects from you.) o ⚓ Andreas ☛ Why_some_systems_may_break_in_2038⠀⇛ This is known as the Year 2038 problem (Y2K38). Unlike Y2K, which was about date formatting, it’s a fundamental binary overflow issue. The problem is largely solved on modern 64-bit platforms, where time_t is already 64-bit1. But many embedded devices such as routers, controllers, security cameras, sensors, and IoT devices, often go unpatched and may remain in use for decades, making them vulnerable in 2038. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 965 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/29/From_Hurd_to_seL4_How_Stallman_s_Microkernel_Vision_Stood_the_T.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/29/From_Hurd_to_seL4_How_Stallman_s_Microkernel_Vision_Stood_the_T.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ From Hurd to seL4: How Stallman’s Microkernel Vision Stood the Test of Time⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 29, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Hurd⦈_ In the early 1990s, while the tech world was rallying behind monolithic kernels and Linux was beginning its march toward global domination, Richard Stallman made a contrarian bet. The GNU Project chose to build the GNU Hurd not as another Unix clone, but as something radically different: a collection of modular user-space servers running atop a microkernel foundation. The reasoning was elegant in its simplicity. Why cram everything into kernel space where a single bug could crash the entire system? Why not isolate components, make them replaceable, and create a system that could evolve without fear? It was a philosophy built on three pillars: isolation, flexibility, and security. But the 1990s were unforgiving. Mach’s inter-process communication crawled at a snail’s pace. Hardware couldn’t handle the overhead. Linux’s monolithic approach delivered raw performance that left microkernels in the dust. GNU Hurd became a footnote in computing history — a noble experiment that failed to launch. Or so it seemed.

Valve keeps 13-year-old Radeon HD 7000 GPUs alive on Linux, prepping patches for graphical issues. Patch fixes 4K60 bottom flicker (MCLK), disables ASPM to avoid Zen4 hangs on Tahiti/Oland, tweaks PLL dividers. You know, Microsoft is pulling the plug on Windows 10 in under a month from now. That operating system had a good 10 years of operation, but as the company shifts focus to the newer, shinier Windows 11, it has to cut off Windows 10 to free up resources. People who have signed up for the additional year of security updates will still receive the occasional patch to keep the operating system running smoothly, but in terms of bug fixes and new features, Windows 10 is complete. It's easy to think that tech these days is in a vicious cycle of being new, being used, and then being forgotten. Fortunately, there are some people out there who remind us that fighting to keep old, functional hardware working properly is a noble cause. Such is the case of one guy at Valve who is still ensuring a 13-year-old GPU works fine with Linux.

While Amazon has worked to improve its FireOS with frequent updates, the company is reportedly working on releasing a proprietary operating system called Vega OS that could enhance the user experience. This new operating system could be announced as early as next week during the Amazon Devices and Services event, which kicks off Tuesday, September 30. New Fire TV hardware could feature Vega OS before the end of the year, according to journalist Janko Roettgers. * ⚓ Thomas Buck ☛ Smart_Meter_Bridge⠀⇛ Unfortunately the meter is mounted in the basemet of my apartment building, too far for any WiFi signals. So I decided to try out LoRa to transmit the data, using two Heltec LoRa32 dev boards. * ⚓ [Old] Diego Elio Pettenò ☛ Whirlpool_AP330W:_It’s_A_Trap⠀⇛ The good news when looking at this board, is that it provides access (on the back side, not pictured) to some kind of serial port — CN3 is marked with a 4-wires GND/+5 and RXD/TXD connectors. In addition to this, the non-populated CN5, which is barely visible on the left of that picture, appears to be a SWD (Single-Wire Debug) header (see Remote Debugging). Which means this board (and by extension this purifier) could be somewhat hackable, if you were so inclined. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1569 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/29/OpenTofu_Introduces_Ephemeral_Support_for_Safer_Secrets_Managem.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/29/OpenTofu_Introduces_Ephemeral_Support_for_Safer_Secrets_Managem.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ OpenTofu Introduces Ephemeral Support for Safer Secrets Management⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 29, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇OpenTofu_open-source_IAC_tool⦈_ Quoting: OpenTofu Introduces Ephemeral Support for Safer Secrets Management — OpenTofu, a community-driven IaC tool (a fork of Terraform) under the Linux Foundation’s stewardship, has introduced ephemeral attributes in its nightly builds — a long-time requested feature designed to prevent sensitive values from being persisted in state files. But before we go further, let me clarify what exactly we’re talking about. As their name suggests, ephemeral attributes allow values to exist only during a single execution of the OpenTofu CLI (plan/apply) and are discarded immediately afterward. In practice, this means that when you mark specific attributes as ephemeral, they will not be stored in the state.

The main cause for this complexity is that the C++ standard can not give requirements like "do not engage in Vogon-level stupidity, as that is not supported". As a result implementations have to support anything and everything under the sun. For module integration there are multiple different approaches ranging from custom on-the-fly generated JSON files (which neither Ninja nor Make can read so you need to spawn an extra process per file just to do the data conversion, but I digress) to custom on-the-fly spawned socket server daemons that do something. It's not really clear to me what. Instead of diving to that hole, let's instead approach the problem from first principles from the opposite side. * ⚓ Jim Nielsen ☛ Running_Software_on_Software_You’ve_Never_Run⠀⇛ This idea allows us to create automated build systems that resolve to an artifact whose dependencies have never existed before in that given combination — let alone tested and executed together in that combination. * ⚓ MaskRay ☛ Remarks_on_SFrame⠀⇛ SFrame employs a unified indexed format across both relocatable files (linking view) and executable files (execution view). While this design consistency appears elegant, it introduces significant complications in toolchain implementation. * ⚓ Sean Goedecke ☛ What_is_"good_taste"_in_software_engineering?⠀⇛ Technical taste is different from technical skill. You can be technically strong but have bad taste, or technically weak with good taste. Like taste in general, technical taste sometimes runs ahead of your ability: just like you can tell good food from bad without being able to cook, you can know what kind of software you like before you’ve got the ability to build it. You can develop technical ability by study and repetition, but good taste is developed in a more mysterious way. Here are some indicators of software taste: [...] * ⚓ Adam Thalhammer ☛ Priorities⠀⇛ Bringing it back to building software, many of us have been confronted with a similar challenge: how do we decide what to work on? If we strictly work on the most urgent task, then less urgent (but still important) items such as bugs, technical debt, etc. will never get fixed, just like noise laws never get enforced, rendering them effectively non-existent. And just like in the real world, this can have unintended consequences - - development velocity stalls as engineers get stuck in a quagmire of unresolved technical debt, customers get fed up with all the bugs and churn. What can be done to prevent this? We have two options: accept it and live with the consequences, or adopt a portfolio strategy that focuses most of our resources on the most valuable problem to be solved, while reserving some capacity for important, but lower priority, items. * ⚓ Sanix-Darker ☛ How_I_Accidentally_Created_the_Fastest_CSV_Parser_Ever Made⠀⇛ SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) is like having 64 workers all performing the exact same task simultaneously, rather than one worker doing 64 tasks sequentially. As brilliantly explained by Aarol in their Zig SIMD substring search article, the key insight is that modern CPUs can perform the same operation on multiple data elements in parallel using vector registers. * ⚓ Giovanni Dicanio ☛ Linus_Torvalds_and_the_Supposedly_“Garbage_Code”⠀⇛ Linus Torvalds criticized a RISC-V Linux kernel contribution from a Google engineer as “garbage code.” The discussion focuses on the helper function make_u32_from_two_u16() versus Linus’s proposed explicit code. Let’s discuss the importance of using proper type casting, bit manipulation, and creating a safer, reusable macro or function for clarity and bug reduction. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Anton Zhiyanov ☛ Go_proposal:_Hashers⠀⇛ The ComparableHasher type is the default hasher implementation for comparable types, like numbers, strings, and structs with comparable fields. o ⚓ The New Stack ☛ Go_Experts:_'I_Don't_Want_to_Maintain_AI- Generated_Code'⠀⇛ “I’ve been building software systems for the last two decades,” writes Quebec-based programmer Dominic St- Pierre, who, according to his website, heads the business software consultancy Focus Centric. But with an interest in teaching, he’s also launched a YouTube channel of programming tutorials — mostly Go — and also a Go podcast with over 800 subscribers. For years, he’s been sharing the joy of programming… He asked: How should he react to the AI-generated code now appearing at the businesses where he consults? ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1781 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/29/Review_KDE_Linux_and_GNOME_OS.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/09/29/Review_KDE_Linux_and_GNOME_OS.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Review: KDE Linux and GNOME OS⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 29, 2025 Quoting: DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD. — Despite these warnings, I found that for the few days I was running GNOME OS and KDE Linux, the systems were stable and usable. They didn't feel particularly experimental or unreliable. Perhaps I was just lucky, running these systems during a calm period of development, but they felt about on par with using other cutting-edge distributions such as Fedora or Kubuntu. What I find interesting about using these two distributions, which have very similar missions, is the differences in the cultures of the two projects. KDE and GNOME have different styles, different philosophies embedded in them, and those differences are on display in these two distributions, especially when the user is switching back and forth between them. GNOME OS has a fairly specific, narrow focus. It exists to showcase the latest GNOME software and that is what it does. That's pretty much all it does. GNOME OS, one could say, has a specific mission and is sticking to it. The GNOME OS distribution is relatively small with no extras and no alternatives. GNOME is providing one tool per task and the tool going to be something the GNOME team provides. For better or worse what GNOME provides tend to be relatively rigid, touch-oriented (rather than suited to desktop use), and it tends to feel "corporate". It all looks very polished, but uncoordinated (especially when it comes to themes). There are four pop-ups the first time we sign in with offers to enable location services and asking for money. The appearance is nice, but it's frustrating to use because of all the extra mouse movement and inconsistent menu styles. It's pretty more than functional. Speaking of functions, having the installer wipe the user's hard drive without warning was a surprise and not the sort of thing I want to see from any distribution, let alone one which is geared toward technical users who tend to run multiple operating systems. KDE Linux is, in many ways, the opposite of GNOME OS. Using the desktop is efficient without being pretty, it is flexible without offering as much functionality, it is clearly more user-focused in its design philosophy rather than corporate-focused. KDE doesn't enable location services or telemetry by default, it only showed me one pop-up window, and navigating the interface is pleasantly quick.

Perhaps you were trying to rescue a system or build a Docker image. Sometimes you need to use the tools at your disposal; other times it's just curiosity. I have five ways to connect and download files via HTTP. * ⚓ Thomas Buck ☛ CYD_MQTT_Touchscreen_UI⠀⇛ Recently I learned about the CYD (cheap yellow display), a nice ESP32 dev board with a touchscreen. This seemed ideal to run a simple user interface to control everything via MQTT. Here are the results. When not in use the device shows a stand- by screen with the current time and date. After pressing the screen a menu is shown. * ⚓ Steve Litt ☛ User_Specific_Runit_Supervisor⠀⇛ Runit can be an entire init system (including PID 1), but that capability is beyond the scope of this document. This document concerns itself exclusively with the multi-daemon supervisor part of the runit init system, and further narrows its scope to the use of this multi-daemon supervisor by and for a specific user. Throughout this document, this user is called "slitt", but unless your user is also called "slitt", you'll replace every instance of "slitt" with the username of the user for whom you're setting up your user specific runit multi-daemon supervisor. Now it's time for a little vocabulary... * ⚓ [Old] Diego Elio Pettenò ☛ Stop_Calling_Them_VPNs!⠀⇛ All of these services are effectively traffic aggregators, or tunnels — just like TunnelBear, which at least makes it very obvious in their name and marketing copy, though they also insist on you gaining some type of browsing privacy by using their service. I’m almost going to praise Apple for their branding, since they call it iCloud Private Relay. The “Private” part is in my opinion misleading – it’s not like they assign you our own relay machine or IP on their iCloud service – but at least they make it clear that it is a Relay service, not a VPN. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2541 ➮ Generation completed at 02:49, i.e. 23 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
