The subscription economy isn't about convenience; it's about control. It's a business model designed to turn people into perpetual tenants of their own devices. It strips us of ownership, autonomy, and freedom. We become dependent on a service provider for access to our own tools and data, subject to their whims, price changes, and policy updates. This is the very injustice the free software movement has fought against for decades. Free software is the antidote to this model of digital serfdom. When you use free software, you are in control. You own your tools. You can use them however you wish, for as long as you want to, without asking for permission or paying a monthly tribute. If you don't like the new version you can keep using the old one. If a feature is removed, you can add it back. If a bug appears, you (or someone in the community) can fix it. You're not a passive "tenant" but an empowered user. The software serves you, not the other way around. So, while the satirical guide above might offer a laugh, the underlying message is serious. Reject the endless cycle of digital rent. Seek out and support free software. Explore the world of self-hosting. Buy products that you can truly own and control. The fight for digital freedom is a fight for your own rights. Let's choose to be owners.

But why is it working now, yet previous disasters? Today I found out why. I'm running Easy with the session in RAM, which can be flushed to permanent storage in the working-partition when desired, usually at shutdown. However, Easy is also supposed to work with the permanent storage '.session' folder directly mounted on the upperdir (the read-write layer) of overlayfs -- and that fails. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 405 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/19/Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/19/Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Best Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Oct 19, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Linter_Tool⦈_ * ⚓ 11_Best_Free_and_Open_Source_OpenAPI_Linter_Tools_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Linters are useful tools for maintaining code quality and consistency in your OpenAPI projects. They analyze code for potential issues, enforce coding standards, and help catch errors before they are pushed into production. Linters are not necessarily a quick fix, can be a distraction, and it’s not inconceivable that they may not be helpful with old, large code bases. OpenAPI is an industry standard to describe HTTP APIs. When using OpenAPI in your project, you can leverage other tools to help you generate documentation, code, tests, mock results, or even deploy your API. This article picks some useful tools to help you validate OpenAPI in your project. Here’s our verdict captured in a legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart.

He strongly believes that free software should be regarded in the same way as free speech and not free beer. Rest assured, this article is not going to become embroiled in an ideological debate, but instead focuses on a subject which really is essential for life itself. The necessary requirements for life are physical conditions which can sustain life, nutrients and energy source, and water. This article relates to the last two requirements. Linux software can play a key part in helping to improve our health and quality of life. If you want to stay fit, part of the solution is to ensure that you are eating the right types of food in the right quantity. Nutrition analysis is important to ensure that you have a healthy balanced diet containing a variety of foods including fruit, vegetables and lots of starchy foods.

You place a set of dominoes on a grid, satisfying various conditions. For instance, in the puzzle below, the pips (dots) in the purple squares must sum to 8, there must be fewer than 5 pips in the red square, and the pips in the three green squares must be equal. (It doesn't take much thought to solve this "easy" puzzle, but the "medium" and "hard" puzzles are more challenging.) * ⚓ Andrew Healey ☛ Solving_NYT's_Pips_Puzzle⠀⇛ Pips is The New York Times' daily puzzle where you have to place dominos onto a board within a set of region restrictions.

There were also middleware companies and many other services, such as vendors proposing Hey Hi (AI) models to speed up asset creation and more stuff in that field. As I was walking around, what caught my attention very quickly was the Alibaba Cloud booth. Everyone knows the company that is behind AliExpress, but maybe some of you are not aware that they also are an Hey Hi (AI) model powerhouse, with very effective teams developing models under the Qwen and Wan brand names. Those are very advanced models and they also happen to be frequently released as open weights, so that you can run them on your own hardware if you have what it takes. I had a conversation with one of the employees at the booth who could tell me a bit more about what’s happening in more details. Let me just preface this by saying that is all hearsay and that I have no proof of everything I have heard. But at the same time, the person I talked to seemed to speak honestly so I don’t think the following was just some of exagerated bullshit. * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ New_Steam_Games_Playable_on_the_Steam_Deck,_with_Ball_X Pit_-_2025-10-18_Edition⠀⇛ Between 2025-10-11 and 2025-10-18 we selected 5 newly released games that are rated as Verified or Playable on the Steam Deck, and meeting specific criteria in terms of user ratings.

[...] I have a fix pending to introduce eager Recommends which fixes the practical case, but this is still not sound. In fact we can show that the solver produces the wrong result for small minimal test cases, as well as the right result for some others without the fix (hooray?). Ensuring sound removals is more complex, and first of all it begs the question: When is a removal sound? This, of course, is on us to define. [...] This indicates that we should only allow removing A if the conflicts could not be solved by upgrading it. The other case to explore is package removals. If B is removed, A should be removed as well; however it there is another package X that Provides: B (= 1) and it is marked for install, A should not be removed. That said, the solver is not allowed to install X to satisfy the depends B (= 1) - only to satisfy other dependencies [we do not want to get into endless loops where we switch between alternatives to keep reverse dependencies installed]. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Kevin_Fenzi:_infra_weekly_recap:_mid_October_2025⠀⇛ Another saturday recap of the last week for me in fedora infra. # ⚓ oVirt_Lives_On:_A_Stronger,_Community-Driven_Future⠀⇛ For many, oVirt’s roots with Red Hat established it as a cornerstone open source virtualization platform - powering thousands of workloads worldwide.

They’ll learn how to make the smartphone life more minimal without going to the extreme. Maybe the experience will foster growth, but they will return. For one, most will be like the guy above and will just add things to their life that weren’t there before: an mp3 player, a journal, an e-reader, or whatever—additional things that need to be kept track of. Another thing, there are just things in this world that you need a smartphone to do. Things like ordering groceries or refilling prescriptions, checking in to the airport or paying for parking. Yeah, there are manual ways of doing those things still, but they’re being phased out quickly. # ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ I_was_eager_to_cut_the_cord_on_my_landline.

If the phone rang and I happened to pick it up, I might end up talking to my mother’s best friend for just a few minutes. She always wanted to know how I was doing. That kind of connection never happens now when we only talk to the people whom we’ve meant to call or who meant to call us.

They reject nonfree applications, nonfree programming platforms, nonfree drivers, nonfree firmware “blobs,” and any other nonfree software and documentation. If they discover that by mistake some had been included, they remove it. § Free GNU/Linux Distros⠀➾ We recommend that you use a free GNU/Linux system distribution, one that does not include proprietary software at all. That way you can be sure that you are not installing any nonfree programs. Here is our list of such distros: Free_GNU/Linux_distributions. All of these existing distros could use more development help. Thus, if you want to make an effective contribution to free GNU/Linux distributions, we suggest that you join the development of an existing free distro rather that starting a new free distro. § Free Non-GNU Distros⠀➾ These system distributions are free but quite different from GNU. Using them is not similar to using GNU/Linux. However, they satisfy the same ethical criteria that we apply to GNU/Linux distros. Free_Non-GNU_distributions. All of these existing distros could use more development help. Thus, if you want to make an effective contribution in this area, we suggest that you join the development of an existing free distro rather that starting a new free distro. § Free Distro Guidelines⠀➾ Here is the list of problems that can prevent a distro from being considered entirely free: Guidelines_for_free_system_distributions. § Common Distros⠀➾ Many common and well-known GNU/Linux software distributions don't meet our guidelines. You can read about their problems here: Why_we_can't_endorse_many_well-known_GNU/Linux_distros. We appeal to the developers of these distros to remove the nonfree parts and thus make them entirely free software. § Optionally Free Is Not Enough⠀➾ Some GNU/Linux distributions allow the user the option of installing only free software. You can read: Why_optionally_free_is_not_enough. § Why Is This Important?⠀➾ When a GNU/Linux distro includes nonfree software, it causes two kinds of problems: * If you install it, you may install and use nonfree software. * It gives people the wrong idea of what the goal is. The first problem is a direct problem: it affects users of the distro, if they install the nonfree software. However, the second problem is the more important one, because it affects the community as a whole. The developers of nonfree distros don't say, “We apologize for the presence of nonfree components in our distribution. We don't know what possessed us to include them. We hope that next release we will keep our minds on freedom.” If they did, they would have less of a bad influence. Instead, they generally present the nonfree software in their systems as a positive feature; they say that their goal is “the best possible user experience,” or something like that, rather than freedom. In other words, they lead people to place convenience above freedom—working directly against our campaign to make freedom the primary goal. The fact that these distros don't deliver freedom is why we don't endorse them. That they teach people not to value freedom is why we are strongly concerned about this issue. =============================================================================== Copyright © 2009, 2012, 2015, 2022 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

While major distributions like Ubuntu, Fedora, and openSUSE are known names, there is a sizeable collection of independently developed projects that offer something novel. Every so often, a one-person endeavor emerges that catches our attention. Not because it's competing with the big-name distros, but because it offers something genuinely different. That brings us to NebiOS, a Linux distribution from Turkey that has been in development since 2023. It's been quietly building toward its next major release.

On top of that, in this release, the permission model expands with the new --allow-net flag, giving developers more precise control over what network resources an application can access.

SWI3S builds upon the two-pin, multi-drop architecture of MIPI SoundWire released in 2014, and offers higher bandwidth, low power consumption, much better noise immunity, and support for scalable multi-device topologies to meet the increasing requirements of embedded audio systems. MIPI SWI3S v1.0 supports data rates up to 76 Mbps against 24 Mbps for the earlier SLIMbus and SoundWire audio interfaces, and improves noise immunity by operating in “forwarded clock” or “differential low voltage signaling”. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Bit-banged_100_MBit/s_Ethernet_Transmission_On_Raspberry_Pi Pico⠀⇛ The Raspberry Pi Pico is a very capable board, but it’s still a surprise to see bit-banged 100 MBit/s Fast Ethernet implemented on one. [Steve]’s Pico-100BASE-TX library allows an RP2040 (or RP2350) microcontroller to stream data at roughly 11 Mbyte/s, enough to implement 100 MBit/s Fast Ethernet transmission. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1682 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/19/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/19/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 19, 2025 * ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Forgejo_13.0_Released_with_Content_Moderation_and_Global_2FA Enforcement⠀⇛ The Forgejo team has announced the release of Forgejo 13.0, the latest version of the self-hosted Git forge software, introducing security improvements, new moderation tools, and enhanced usability across the platform. * ⚓ Michael Kohl ☛ Introduction_to_OCaml_Extension_Points⠀⇛ The OCaml language offers a distinct approach to compile-time code generation in the form of extension points and AST rewriters, which we’ll explore in this article. * ⚓ Arjen Wiersma ☛ Your_Own_Cloud⠀⇛ Once everything turns out to be working nicely for a little while I will also migrate over my blog and then start shutting down my Github and Gitlab accounts.

You can’t change how if works. You can’t compose it, pipe it, or partially apply it. You can’t pass if as an argument to another function. But what if you could? What if if, for, while and even fn and var were just regular functions? In languages like REBOL, Red and Rye they are. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ D3po_1.0.0_is_here!⠀⇛ If this post is useful to you I kindly ask a minimal donation on Buy Me a Coffee.
