behind one or more routers, some tricks must be used. When the routers forward directed subnet broadcasts, it is possible to use the broadcast address of the destination network. The problem is that many routers don’t forward broadcast packets, so the packet will never arrive at the network. It is possible to send the packet to the remote net however, by sending it to the IP address of another host on that network that’s alive at that moment. The remote hosts will probably ignore the packet, but it has been seen by the listening NIC that’s also on the same subnet, and it will turn on the computer. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ simple-git-hooks_-_tool_to_manage_git_hooks_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ However, this package requires you to manually apply the changes to git hooks. If you update them often, this is probably not the best choice. Also, this package allows you to set only one command per git hook. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Roq_-_static_site_generator_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Roq is billed as a powerful static site generator that combines the best features of tools like Jekyll and Hugo, but within the Java ecosystem. It aims to provide a modern approach with Quarkus at its core, requiring zero configuration to get started —ideal for developers who want to jump right in, while still being flexible enough for advanced users to hook into Java for deeper customization. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Benchmarking_the_BOSGAME_M4_Plus_Mini_PC_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ The N100 machine is much cheaper than all the machines. It’s included simply to put in perspective the performance improvement offered by the higher specification machines. Each machine is tested with the same software and configured to ensure consistency between results. All power management functionality is disabled when running the benchmarks. Where available, I enabled Performance Mode in the Power Limit mode section in the BIOS. Every performance enhancing technique is used e.g. the performance governor is used for all tests, each machine was running with as few processes running as possible (e.g. no X11/Wayland is running except for the graphic benchmarks). Let’s kick off with a variety of processor benchmarks. * ⚓ Manga_Reader_-_for_local_files_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Manga Reader is a manga reader for local files. The application is in maintenance mode, so only bug fixes will be made going forward. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ virtwold_-_Wake-on-LAN_for_libvirt_based_VMs_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ A use-case is to have a gaming VM that doesn’t need to be running all the time. NVIDIA Gamestream and Moonlight both have the ability to send WOL packets in an attempt to wake an associated system. For “real” hardware, this works great. Unfortunately, for VMs it doesn’t really do anything since there’s no physical NIC snooping for the WOL packet. This daemon attempts to solve that. This is free and open source software. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠉⠀⠀⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⠿⠛⠋⠁⣀⣤⣶⣶⣄⠀⠀⣠⣶⣶⣤⣀⠈⠙⠛⠿⣿⡿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⣠⣤⣤⡀⠈⠻⣿⡿⠟⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠻⢿⣿⠟⠁⢀⣤⣤⣄⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠋⠁⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠈⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠙⠛⠿⠋⢀⣴⣿⣷⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣾⣿⣦⡀⠙⠿⠛⠋⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⠀⠀⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣤⣶⣷⣦⣄⡀⠈⠙⠻⠿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠙⢿⠿⠟⠋⠁⢀⣠⣴⣾⣦⣤⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 318 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/09/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/09/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Oct 09, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇scan⦈_ * ⚓ QR_ScanGen_-_QR_code_scanner_and_generator_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ QR ScanGen is a QR code scanner and generator which is easy and fast to use, and has no buttons except to switch cameras.

Together, we started expanding Thunderbird beyond its strong desktop roots, introducing it to smartphones and web browsers to make it more accessible to more people. Thunderbird for Android arrived in the fall and has been steadily improving thanks to our growing mobile team, as well as feedback and contributions from our growing global family. A few months later, in December 2024, we celebrated an extraordinary milestone: 20 years of Thunderbird! We also looked toward a sustainable future with the announcement of Thunderbird Pro, with one of its first services, Appointment, already finding an audience in closed beta. * ⚓ Eric MacAdie ☛ Emacs_Carnival:_Maintenance⠀⇛ This month’s Emacs Carnival is “Maintenance, server or home or garden” hosted by someone who goes by SpaceCadet on Mastodon.

Not really my ideal solution, being more focused towards those that want to build an audience and make money, but I think it fits the bill perfectly for what I want. Namely, being able to write a post, not correct the numerous grammatical errors and just click post. * § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ o § Open Data⠀➾ # ⚓ Kieran Healy ☛ Halloween_in_the_Round⠀⇛ What I was interested in was patterns of daily counts, so I wanted to average by day across years. This sort of aggregation of course gets rid of other things we might be interested in, like trends over time by year. Averaging by day means we won’t see, for example, any tendency for the number of pedestrian deaths to decrease over time. One way to draw this is a column chart with time (as day-of- the-year) on the x-axis and the average count on the y-axis. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 558 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/09/Games_Winnie_s_Hole_Crusader_Kings_III_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/09/Games_Winnie_s_Hole_Crusader_Kings_III_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Winnie’s Hole, Crusader Kings III, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 09, 2025 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Jump_back_into_Winnie’s_Hole_with_a_fresh_and_expanded demo_for_this_unique_genre-blending_roguelite⠀⇛ Oh bother!

We answer your questions, and dig through your problems! * § Kernel Space⠀➾ o ⚓ Klara ☛ Advanced_ZFS_Dataset_Management:_Snapshots,_Clones,_and Bookmarks⠀⇛ ZFS is more than just a filesystem, it is a modern software-defined storage management system that combines exceptional data integrity, flexibility, and ease of management into a single package. While many users are familiar with the basics of ZFS, such as creating pools and datasets, the real power lies in leveraging its advanced data management features. Any advanced data management scheme starts with the fundamental building blocks: snapshots, clones, and bookmarks. These mechanisms provide lightweight, instantaneous point-in-time views of your data and allow it to be replicated across systems and locations, or even branched to provide new environments or testbeds without duplicating data or risking its integrity. This week, we’ll dive deep into these three core concepts of advanced ZFS dataset management and explore how they work, some practical applications, and any trade-offs you need to keep in mind. * § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Systemd-resolved's_new_'DNS_Server Delegation'_feature_(as_of_systemd_258)⠀⇛ A while ago I wrote an entry about things that resolved wasn't for as of systemd 251. One of those things was arbitrary mappings of (DNS) names to DNS servers, for example if you always wanted *.internal.example.org to query a special DNS server. Systemd-resolved didn't have a direct feature for this and attempting to attach your DNS names to DNS server mappings to a network interface could go wrong in various ways. Well, time marches on and as of systemd v258 this is no longer the state of affairs. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ System76_Unveils_Oryx_Pro_Linux_Laptop_with_COSMIC Desktop_Beta⠀⇛ System76 has announced that the company’s new Oryx Pro will be the first Linux laptop to ship with both the Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS Beta and the COSMIC Desktop Beta preinstalled, marking the public’s first chance to experience System76’s long-awaited in-house desktop environment out of the box. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 755 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/09/GNU_Linux_and_Development_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/09/GNU_Linux_and_Development_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux and Development Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 09, 2025 * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ ZDNet ☛ My_5_favorite_cloud_sync_tools_for_Linux_- including_free_options⠀⇛ Syncthing can connect to any computer on your LAN, which makes it one of the more flexible and useful cloud sync tools on the list. If you're really clever, you can also use Syncthing to sync local files/folders to your Google Drive account. To do that, you have to mount your Google account locally (more on that in a bit) and then use Syncthing to sync local files/folders to the newly mounted Google Drive. Yes, it's a kludgy workaround, but it's certainly possible. The great thing about Syncthing is that you can use it to sync files and folders to any device on your network. Because of that, here's another handy trick. Say you have a MacOS machine that syncs with your Google Drive account (because Google offers a MacOS client for Drive). You could then use Syncthing to sync from Linux to MacOS, such that your Linux files/folders sync with the local Drive folder on MacOS. Instant Google Drive syncing. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Jumping_into_openSUSE_Leap_16⠀⇛ The openSUSE project is nearing the release of Leap 16, its first major release since openSUSE Leap 15 in May 2018. This release brings some changes to the core of the distribution aside from the usual software upgrades; YaST has been retired, SELinux has replaced AppArmor as the default mandatory access control (MAC) system, and more. If all goes according to plan, Leap 16 final should be released in early October, with planned support through 2031. A lot has happened behind the scenes at SUSE since the last major Leap release: the company was sold by Micro Focus to EQT Partners in 2018, acquired Kubernetes management company Rancher Labs in 2020, went public in 2021, and then was taken private again in 2023. Through all that, the folks making SUSE have tried to continue business as usual to keep developing all of the offerings from SUSE and openSUSE. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Fedora_floats_AI-assisted_contributions_policy⠀⇛ The Fedora Council began a process to create a policy on AI-assisted contributions in 2024, starting with a survey to ask the community its opinions about AI and using AI technologies in Fedora. On September 25, Jason Brooks published a draft policy for discussion; so far, in keeping with the spirit of compromise, it has something to make everyone unhappy. For some it is too AI- friendly, while others have complained that it holds Fedora back from experimenting with AI tooling. [...] Aoife Moloney asked for suggestions in May 2024, via Fedora's discussion forum, on survey questions to learn ""what our community would like and perhaps even need from AI capabilities in Fedora"". Many of Fedora's contributor conversations take place on the Fedora devel mailing list, but Moloney did not solicit input for the survey questions there. Tulio Magno Quites Machado Filho suggested asking whether the community should accept contributions generated by AI, and if AI-generated responses to mailing lists should be prohibited. Josh Boyer had ideas for the survey, including how Fedora defines AI and whether contributions to the project should be used as data by Fedora to create models. Justin Wheeler wanted to understand ""the feelings that someone might have when we talk about 'Open Source' and 'AI/ML' at the same time"". People likely have strong opinions about both, he said, but what about when the topics are combined? Overall, there were only a handful of suggested questions. Matthew Miller, who was the Fedora Project Leader (FPL) at the time, pointed out that some of the questions proposed by commenters were good questions but not good survey questions. In July, Moloney announced on the forum and via Fedora's devel-announce list that the survey had been published. Unfortunately, it is no longer available online, and the questions were not included in the announcements. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Development⠀➾ # § Linux Foundation⠀➾ # ⚓ Decisive Media Limited ☛ Camara_Project’s_latest_drop boasts_60_network_APIs [Ed: APIs as "open"]⠀⇛ The Camara Project, the Linux Foundation’s open-source telco API alliance, has announced the third ‘meta’ release of its network APIs, which are becoming the de facto standard for telcos seeking to expose their network assets and engage with application developers. # § Rust⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Linting_Rust_code_in_the_kernel⠀⇛ Klint is a Rust compiler extension developed by Gary Guo to run some kernel-specific lint rules, which may also be useful for embedded system development. He spoke about his recent work on the project at Kangrejos 2025. The next day, Alejandra González led a discussion about Rust's normal linter, Clippy. The two tools offer complementary approaches to analyzing Rust kernel code, although both need some additional direction and support from kernel developers to reach their full potential. § Klint Klint was started in 2021 to find places where Rust code in the kernel was ignoring allocation errors. That is no longer necessary — the Rust for Linux project ended up rewriting the allocation interfaces to make ignoring allocation failures more difficult — but klint still has a few other useful checks. Mainly, klint is used to check that code does not sleep while holding a spinlock. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 953 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/09/KDE_Gear_25_08_2_Rolls_Out_with_More_Improvements_for_Your_Favo.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/09/KDE_Gear_25_08_2_Rolls_Out_with_More_Improvements_for_Your_Favo.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ KDE Gear 25.08.2 Rolls Out with More Improvements for Your Favorite KDE Apps⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Oct 09, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇KDE_Gear_25.08.2⦈_ Coming a month after KDE Gear 25.08.1, the KDE Gear 25.08.2 release adds support for sending thumbnails when uploading videos to NeoChat, support for uppercase keysyms for the portal input to KDE Connect, and support for x- scheme-handler/feed in mimetype to Akregator.

Alberto Garcia worked with his colleagues at Igalia and people at Valve, the company behind the Steam gaming platform, to come up with a new tool to manage encrypted filesystems for SteamOS, which is a Linux distribution optimized for gaming. Garcia gave a talk about that tool, dirlock, at Open Source Summit Europe, which was held in Amsterdam in late August. In the talk, he looked at the design process for the encrypted-files feature, the alternatives considered, and why they made the choices they did. Over a long career at Igalia, he has worked on many different projects, including GNOME, the Maemo and MeeGo mobile-Linux platforms, and more recently on QEMU. He is also a Debian developer; ""I've been using Debian basically all of my life, but I'm also contributing to the project and I've been an active developer for many years"". At the moment, he is working on SteamOS. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Development_statistics_for_6.17⠀⇛ The 6.17 development cycle ended on September 28 with the release of the 6.17 kernel. This cycle brought in 13,089 non- merge changesets, a slowdown from its predecessor but still within the normal bounds for recent kernels. The time has come for a look at where those changes came from, with a bit of a side trip into bug statistics. Work on 6.17 was contributed by 2,038 developers, of whom 298 made their first kernel contribution during this cycle. * ⚓ LWN ☛ The_phaseout_of_the_mmap()_file_operation⠀⇛ The file_operations structure in the kernel is a set of function pointers implementing, as the name would suggest, operations on files. A subsystem that manages objects which can be represented by a file descriptor will provide a file_operations structure providing implementations of the various operations that a user of the file descriptor may want to carry out. The mmap() method, in particular, is invoked when user space calls the mmap() system call to map the object behind a file descriptor into its address space. That method, though, is currently on its way out in a multi-release process that started in 6.17. The file_operations structure was introduced in the 0.95 release in March 1992; at that point it supported the basic read() and write() operations and not much else. Support for mmap() first appeared in 0.98.2 later that year, though it took a while before it actually worked as expected. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣀⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⠟⣛⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⡏⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⣿⡟⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠠⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠈⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⢉⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠑⢤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠳⢄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣆⣀⣀⣀⣀⣿⣿⣇⣀⣠⣄⣀⣤⣴⣿⣿⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣵⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠿⣷⣦⣴⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣤⣄⣀⣩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⣴⣿⡿⠁⢀⣤⣴⡄⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢉⣉⣉⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣁⡀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠙⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⣥⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣿⣾⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⡶⠿⠟⠛⣻⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡾⢿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠙⠻⠿⣿⡏⠉⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⠁⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠉⠙⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠁⠐⠚⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1121 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/09/LibreOffice_25_8_2_Office_Suite_Is_Now_Available_for_Download_w.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/09/LibreOffice_25_8_2_Office_Suite_Is_Now_Available_for_Download_w.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ LibreOffice 25.8.2 Office Suite Is Now Available for Download with 70 Bug Fixes⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Oct 09, 2025, updated Oct 09, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇LibreOffice_25.8.2⦈_ Coming five weeks after LibreOffice 25.8.1, the LibreOffice 25.8.2 update is here to address various bugs, crashes, and other annoyances reported by users in an attempt to improve the overall stability and reliability of this popular open-source, free, and cross-platform office suite. In numbers, the LibreOffice 25.8.2 point release addresses a total of 70 bugs.

In May 2024, when I visited the Dutch Pen Show, a few artisans that presented their home-made pens there also offered workshops but lived more than 500 km away in the northern part of Germany, being out of reach for a quick “let’s go there and do that” excursion. * ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Sustainable_solutions_with_Raspberry_Pi:_Local,_zero- waste_manufacturing_and_precious_metal_recovery⠀⇛ Since the beginning, we have manufactured our single-board computers at the Sony UK Technology Centre (Sony UK TEC) in Pencoed, South Wales. This local partnership gives us deeper insight into the entire manufacturing process, ensuring that our high standards for quality and ethics are upheld. It’s a choice that supports British jobs and industries — and it’s also a fundamentally sustainable one.

This release also fixes the initial SDP session hash and session-id, fixes a potential NULL deref in the profiler, fixes the UMP event compare function, and fixes a regression in the adapter that would cause it to fail to start and resume correctly. Read_on Linuxiac: * ⚓ PipeWire_1.4.9_Fixes_Audio_Regression_and_Improves_ALSA_Recovery⠀⇛ PipeWire, a multimedia framework for handling audio and video on Linux systems, has just rolled out version 1.4.9, focusing on bug fixes and stability improvements. The release fixes a regression in node unprepare that could leave nodes running and trigger errors. ALSA handling is improved—PipeWire now recovers correctly when three periods aren’t supported and adjusts SOF card headroom to the minimal period size by default. Another change removes the RestrictNamespaces directive from systemd service files. This allows libcamera to load sandboxed IPA modules again, restoring functionality that was previously blocked. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⣿⡧⢼⡿⢿⠿⢿⣿⡿⠿⢿⡿⠿⡿⠿⣿⠿⡧⠤⡿⠿⠿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢻⡿⣷⣿⠘⡟⢸⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⢰⡄⠘⡇⢸⡇⢠⡦⠀⡏⠀⣒⣀⣧⠀⠇⠀⠋⢀⡇⠀⡇⠀⣶⠃⢐⣂⣈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⡷⠟⣿⠶⡷⠞⠃⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⢠⣠⣼⣧⣼⡇⢠⣄⣴⣷⣤⣉⣤⣿⣤⣤⣧⣤⣼⣧⣤⣧⣤⣿⣧⣄⣡⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣼⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1497 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/09/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/09/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 09, 2025 * ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Qt_6.10_Released_With_Flexbox_Layout,_New_SearchField⠀⇛ Qt, a cross-platform software development framework widely used for designing and deploying graphical user interfaces (and the backbone of the widely adopted KDE desktop environment), has just released its latest version, 6.10. * ⚓ Daniel Lemire ☛ Aesthetics_matter⠀⇛ Why would anyone write a book entitled Beautiful Code? * ⚓ Sandor Dargo ☛ C++26:_range_support_for_std::optional⠀⇛ I learned about the new range API of std::optional from Steve Downey at CppCon 2025 during his talk about std::optional. To be honest, I found the idea quite strange at first. I wanted to dig deeper to understand the motivation and the implications. * ⚓ The New Stack ☛ Survey:_Engineers_Want_To_Code,_But_Spend_All_Day_on Tech_Debt⠀⇛ That’s the key finding from Chainguard‘s 2026 Engineering Reality Report, released today, which surveyed 1,200 software engineers and tech leaders across the US and Europe. The numbers are stark: Engineers spend just 16% of their week writing code and building new features, despite 93% saying that’s the most rewarding part of their jobs. What do they do with the rest of their time? Code maintenance, technical debt and wrestling with fragmented tools. * ⚓ Julia Programming Language ☛ Julia_1.12_Highlights⠀⇛ Julia version 1.12 has finally been released. We want to thank all the contributors to this release and all the testers who helped find regressions and issues in the pre-releases. Without you, this release would not have been possible. The full list of changes can be found in the NEWS file, but here we'll give a more in-depth overview of some of the release highlights. * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ RPushbullet_0.3.5:_Mostly_Maintenance⠀⇛ Courtesy of my CRANberries, there is a diffstat report relative to previous release. More detailed information is on the repo where comments and suggestions are welcome. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Python_3.14_released_with_cautious_free- threaded_support⠀⇛ Free threading in Python, which disables the global interpreter lock (GIL), is now a complete implementation of PEP (Python Enhancement Proposal) 703, a much anticipated feature which makes concurrent programming in Python natural. Free-threaded mode also enables a specialized adaptive interpreter, originally part of the Faster CPython project led by Mark Shannon at Microsoft (though the company axed its support in May). o ⚓ Miguel Grinberg ☛ Python_3.14_Is_Here._How_Fast_Is_It?⠀⇛ In November of 2024 I wrote a blog post titled "Is Python Really That Slow?", in which I tested several versions of Python and noted the steady progress the language has been making in terms of performance. Today is the 8th of October 2025, just a day after the official release of Python 3.14. Let's rerun the benchmarks to find out how fast the new version of Python is! o ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Python_3.14_Released_With_Free-Threaded_Mode⠀⇛ One of the biggest additions in this release is free- threaded Python, which removes the Global Interpreter Lock and allows true parallel execution. This long- awaited change enables developers to leverage multicore CPUs fully and opens up new possibilities for building high-performance applications in pure Python. According to devs, it’s one of the most significant steps forward in Python’s history. o ⚓ Simon Willison ☛ Python_3.14⠀⇛ Python 3.14. This year's major Python version, Python 3.14, just made its first stable release! As usual the what's new in Python 3.14 document is the best place to get familiar with the new release: [...] * § Perl⠀➾ o ⚓ André Machado ☛ Perl_Isn't_Dead:_The_Art_of_Crafting_Files_with Perl⠀⇛ Rumors about the end of Perl surface every few years, yet the language continues to anchor automation in operations teams, research labs, and publishing platforms. Its expressive syntax and mature interpreter make it perfect for connecting services, scraping data, and shaping text pipelines that would otherwise demand entire frameworks. Perl earns loyalty because it stays portable, dependable, and available on every system that ships with a command line. The language invites experimentation without compromising performance. Developers can compose expressive regular expressions, tap into an immense CPAN ecosystem, and iterate quickly across environments. Perl thrives in spaces where scripting speed meets engineering rigor, and that balance keeps it invaluable for any project that needs repeatable results. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Ted Unangst ☛ backporting_go_on_openbsd⠀⇛ The OpenBSD ports tree generally tracks current, but sometimes backports (and stable packages) are made for more serious issues. As was the case for git 2.50.1. However, the go port has not seen a backport in quite some time. The OpenBSD release schedule aligns with the go schedule such that we always get the latest release, but not minor revisions. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ Jono Alderson ☛ The_death_of_a_website⠀⇛ The homepage was still up on a monitor, looping a loading animation like a bad joke. Looked fine from across the room – gradients, glassy buttons, a hero image big enough to land a plane on. But the moment I hit View Source, I knew I was staring at another corpse. Same story as the last dozen. No pulse, no structure, no soul. Just a tangle of wrappers, scripts, and styles, every line stepping on the toes of the one before it. A thousand dependencies all arguing about whose fault it was. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1699 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/09/Red_Hat_AlmaLinux_Beta_and_Red_Hat_s_Latest_Slopfest.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/09/Red_Hat_AlmaLinux_Beta_and_Red_Hat_s_Latest_Slopfest.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat: AlmaLinux Beta and Red Hat's Latest Slopfest⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 09, 2025 * ⚓ Distro Watch ☛ Development_Release:_AlmaLinux_OS_9.7_Beta⠀⇛ The AlmaLinux OS team have announced the availability of a new beta for the 9.x series.

How do you protect the sensitive data it might be trained on or the proprietary logic it contains? * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ What’s_new_in_Red_Hat_Ansible_Automation_Platform 2.6⠀⇛ AAP 2.5 already has the platform gateway installed! * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ The_MLOps_Challenge:_Scaling_from_one_model_to thousands⠀⇛ But what happens when one model becomes a thousand?

They would manually sift through logs across multiple domains (radio access network, core, transport) and race against time to restore services. Hours, sometimes days, could pass before the incident was fully resolved, leading to frustrated customers, lost revenue, and reputational damage.

Ubuntu Desktop also ships with two new apps, namely GNOME’s Loupe instead of Eye of GNOME as the default image viewer, as well as Ptyxis instead of GNOME Terminal as the default terminal emulator. Also, there’s a new update notification that will be shown with options to open Software Updater or install updates directly. Read_on More Updates: * ⚓ Ubuntu_25.10_is_Out:_Here_Are_the_Biggest_Changes_You'll_Notice⠀⇛ Ubuntu continues to be one of the most popular Linux distributions worldwide. It's used by everyone from complete beginners exploring Linux for the first time to system administrators managing enterprise servers. The project follows a predictable release schedule with new versions every six months. Long-term support releases arrive every two years in April with the promise of maintenance. Interim releases bridge the gap by delivering cutting-edge features for those who want them. Now, Ubuntu 25.10 "Questing Quokka" arrives as the second and final interim release before Ubuntu 26.04 LTS lands in April 2026. This release introduces substantial changes, and while we've already covered what to expect from Ubuntu 25.10 in detail, this article focuses on giving an overview of the final release. * ⚓ Ubuntu_25.10_'Questing_Quokka'_is_out_now_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Canonical today launched the Ubuntu 25.10 'Questing Quokka' release, bringing with it many advancements across the Linux desktop. This is an interim release so it will only be supported for 9 months until July 2026. Releases like this are work towards the next LTS (long term support) which will be due with Ubuntu 26.04 next April. With the release you get Linux kernel 6.17 and Mesa 25.2.3 with all the latest goodies from performance improvements to new hardware support. There's some major changes with this release like Ubuntu's session being Wayland-only, suspend-resume support has been enabled in the proprietary NVIDIA driver, new default apps for the image viewer and terminal, TPM-backed Full Disk Encryption recovery key management and much more. * ⚓ Canonical_releases_Ubuntu_25.10_Questing_Quokka⠀⇛ The latest interim release of Ubuntu comes with compatibility enhancements at the silicon level, accessibility upgrades and a robust security posture that sets the stage for the next LTS. * ⚓ Ubuntu_25.10_Released,_Available_to_Download_Now_-_OMG!_Ubuntu⠀⇛ Ubuntu 25.10 is supported with updates until July 2026. Users on this version will be able to upgrade to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (supported until 2030). If you read this blog regularly, you’ll be up to speed on what makes Questing Quokka a quality update, as I reported on the changes often – see my full Ubuntu 25.10 feature guide for more details. Itching to get it? Skip down to the downloads section to grab it, or learn how to upgrade from Ubuntu 25.04. * ⚓ Xubuntu_25.10_released!_«_Xubuntu⠀⇛ Xubuntu 25.10 features the latest Xfce 4.20 and GNOME 49 updates. Xfce 4.20 updates feature stability improvements and enhanced Wayland support, for those adventurous enough to use it. GNOME 49 apps have received further polish and are well- suited for Xubuntu. MATE 1.26 apps are still included to round out Xubuntu’s office suite. The final release images for Xubuntu Desktop and Xubuntu Minimal are available as torrents and direct downloads from xubuntu.org/download/. As the main server might be busy the first few days after the release, we recommend using the torrents if possible. We want to thank everybody who contributed to this release of Xubuntu! * ⚓ Ubuntu_25.10_Officially_Released_with_Kernel_6.17_&_GNOME_49_| UbuntuHandbook⠀⇛ This is a new short term release with 9 months support until July 2026. New features include the latest Linux Kernel 6.17, GNOME Desktop 49, and more. Linuxiac: * ⚓ Ubuntu_25.10_"Questing_Quokka"_Released,_This_Is_What’s_New⠀⇛ Canonical has released Ubuntu 25.10, codenamed Questing Quokka, a short-term version supported for nine months, until July 2026. It ships with Linux kernel 6.17, bringing early support for Intel TDX, enhanced ARM64 compatibility, and updated drivers for the latest Intel Arc “Battlemage” GPUs. The new kernel also introduces improved PCIe and IOMMU support for virtualization, as well as better RISC-V platform support. The distribution moves to systemd v257.9 and, more importantly, replaces the long-used initramfs-tools with Dracut as the default initrd infrastructure on desktop editions. This change reduces boot complexity and adds native support for Bluetooth and NVMe-over-Fabrics in early userspace. ⠐⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣂⣐⣐⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣐⣐⣂⣀ ⠸⡿⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣴⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⢲⣾⣿⡟⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢨⣭⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠘⡛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠺⠿⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣰⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢰⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠸⠽⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2411 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/09/Ubuntu_Touch_and_Mobile_as_a_Risk_to_Freedom.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/09/Ubuntu_Touch_and_Mobile_as_a_Risk_to_Freedom.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ubuntu Touch and Mobile as a Risk to Freedom⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 09, 2025 * ⚓ The New Leaf Journal ☛ Reviewing_iMoon_For_Ubuntu_Touch⠀⇛ Ubuntu Touch is a free and open source Linux operating system targeted at phones and it is maintained by UBports (see the official Ubuntu Touch website). It is officially supported on a relatively small number of devices, most of which run Android (thanks to Halium). * ⚓ The Record ☛ Russia_blocks_mobile_internet_for_foreign_SIM_cards, citing_drone_threats⠀⇛ The new rule imposes a mandatory 24-hour mobile internet blackout for anyone entering Russia with a foreign SIM card. Mobile operators in neighboring Belarus and Kazakhstan have warned travelers that roaming services, including mobile internet and SMS, will be unavailable for the first 24 hours after connecting to a Russian network. The restriction resets whenever a user crosses a regional border or switches to a different network, meaning connectivity may remain unstable while traveling within Russia, according to the local internet monitoring group Na Svyazi. * ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Google’s_Requirement_For_All_Android_Developers_To_Register And_Be_Verified_Threatens_To_Close_Down_Open_Source_App_Store_F-Droid⠀⇛ It would be something of an understatement to say that Alphabet, Google’s holding company, is big and successful. Some Wall Street analysts are even predicting it could become the world’s most valuable corporation. Of course, even for business giants, enough is never enough. They always want more: more money, more power. As part of that tendency, Google seems to have decided that F-Droid, the free and open source app store for the Android platform, is a threat to the official Google Play Store that needs to be neutralized. At least that is likely to be the effect of Google’s announcement that it will require all Android developers to register and be verified before their apps can be allowed to run on certified Android devices. A post on the F-Droid blog explains what the problem is: [...] ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2476 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/09/Wireshark_4_6_Open_Source_Network_Protocol_Analyzer_Released_as.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/09/Wireshark_4_6_Open_Source_Network_Protocol_Analyzer_Released_as.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Wireshark 4.6 Open-Source Network Protocol Analyzer Released as a Major Update⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Oct 09, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Wireshark_4.6⦈_ Highlights of Wireshark 4.6 include a new “Plots” dialog that provides scatter plots with support for multiple plots, markers, and automatic scrolling, support for compressing live captures while writing, and support for writing absolute time fields in ISO 8601 format in UTC with -T json. In addition, Wireshark can now decrypt NTP packets using NTS (Network Time Security), expands the ability to decrypt MACsec packets to use the SAK unwrapped by the MKA dissector or the PSK configured in the MACsec dissector, and uses units with SI prefixes for the TCP Stream Graph axes.
