Well, there are four tools that you can use which are completely free of Docker’s influence. Each tool has its own pros and cons, but thanks to the open source community and the Open Container Initiative (OCI), you’ll still have a large pool of containers to use, even without direct Docker integration. o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ I_Wish_I'd_Discovered_This_Ultra-Simple_File_Server a_Long_Time_Ago⠀⇛ Are you looking for the easiest way to launch a file server for either internal or external access? Copyparty is what you’ve been looking for. With the ability to launch with zero configuration, Copyparty gets you a file server up and running in seconds. § What Is Copyparty? I love living in the modern open source age. There seems to be easy-to-configure software for just about everything these days. Copyparty is one such piece of open source software I wish existed many years ago. With Copyparty, you can easily set up a file server on any computer at your house. I used it on both my high-end Docker server and my old Raspberry Pi 3b, and it worked great on both systems. At its core, Copyparty is designed to deploy an ultra-lightweight file server with little- to-no configuration required. * § Productivity Software⠀➾ o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Tired_of_LibreOffice?_The_Open_Source_ONLYOFFICE Just_Got_a_Big_Update⠀⇛ The open source office application ONLYOFFICE had its first point release since June on Wednesday, and it comes with a bevy of new features for its "Desktop Editors" suite of apps. They include a document recovery function, faster spreadsheet functions, and PDF annotation tools. In its release announcement blog post, ONLYOFFICE showed off the new document recovery functionality debuting in version 9.1. From now on, when the app crashes or if you have an unexpected shutdown, you can recover—presumably—most if not all of your unsaved changes simply by restarting the application. I know I've had my share of unsaved document disasters, so this seems like a much-needed improvement. ONLYOFFICE'S PDF editor is seeing several improvements with this release too, namely a redaction tool for documents containing confidential and sensitive info. There are other new annotation tools too, for drawing circles, rectangles, arrows, and connected lines in your PDFs. There's added support for inserting charts, too. * § Web Browsers⠀➾ o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Experimental_Browser_Engine_Servo_Just_Got_Its_First Release⠀⇛ Servo started as a project under Mozilla to create a next-generation browser engine, but now it's an independent project. Today marks the release of Servo 0.0.1, and you can try it out on your computer. Servo is an experimental browser engine written in the Rust programming language, intended as an alternative to Chrome's Blink, Apple's WebKit, and Mozilla's Gecko. There was already a basic web browser shell you could download to try out the engine, but only with nightly builds that were fully automated and not tested at all. The first versioned release, Sero v0.0.1, is now available on the GitHub releases page. The Servo team hopes to publish a new release each month, which should be (somewhat) more stable than the previous experience with nightly builds. The Servo website downloads page still only links to the nightly builds. A blog post explained, "We plan to publish such a tagged release every month. For now, we are adopting a simple release process where we will use a recent nightly build and perform additional manual testing to identify issues and regressions before tagging and publishing the binaries." ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 417 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/26/Debian_Ubuntu_and_Development_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/26/Debian_Ubuntu_and_Development_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Debian, Ubuntu, and Development Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 26, 2025, updated Oct 26, 2025 * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Debian_Lomiri_Tablets_-_We_are_hiring!⠀⇛ We at Fre{i}e Software GmbH now have a confirmed budget for working on Debian based tablets with the special goal to use them for educational purposes (i.e. in schools). Those Debian Edu tablets shall be powered by the Lomiri Operating Environment (that same operating environment that is powering Ubuntu Touch). o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Finally,_You_Can_Now_be_Ubuntu_Certified_Linux User⠀⇛ Canonical is a company that needs no introduction (proceeds to introduce it); it is the company behind Ubuntu, which has been a key driving force in the open source space. It is responsible for making Linux accessible to millions of people worldwide, from desktop machines to cloud infrastructure. Now, the firm is taking another significant step forward. 💪📈 They have officially launched Canonical Academy, a new certification platform designed to help professionals validate their Linux and Ubuntu skills through practical, hands-on assessments. * § Development⠀➾ o § Programming⠀➾ # § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ XDA ☛ Automate_away_your_daily_frustrations_with these_clever_Python_scripts⠀⇛ A cluttered Downloads folder slows you down whenever you need to find a file. This script organizes common file types into subfolders, keeping your working directory organized and readable. It utilizes only the standard library, making it easy to run on most systems without requiring additional packages. Point it at any folder and run it on a schedule to keep things neat. It categorizes by extension, which is usually enough for documents, archives, media, and installers. You can expand the mapping with formats you use daily, like STL for prints or ISO images for labs. Files are moved, not copied, so you avoid duplicates that waste storage space. I like to keep a catch-all folder for unknown types, so nothing gets lost. If you share the same machine with multiple users, consider setting a per-user destination. That keeps everyone’s files out of each other’s way and avoids permission errors. You can also add a size threshold to leave very large files alone until you review them. The goal is to maintain sensible defaults while remaining flexible. # § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ These_3_Simple_Tools_Helped_Me_Quickly Learn_the_Linux_Terminal⠀⇛ If you're new to Linux and the terminal, I can appreciate how difficult it is to learn. Learning Linux was not an easy task. Fortunately, I have three tools for you that will make learning and using the Linux terminal long-term significantly easier. § tldr: When You Just Want Examples Learning the terminal can be difficult, but here's a tip: you don't need to memorize every command. Only commands that you use most often will you remember. Notes and man pages are the typical way to jog your memory, but they can be time-consuming. What we need is a way to quickly bootstrap ourselves, to cut through all the noise and go directly to what matters—enter the tldr command. The tldr (too long; didn't read) command simply prints cheat sheets for provided command names. It provides the most common options and examples for over 6,000 commands for Linux and hundreds for Windows and macOS. No matter what command you need concise examples for, tldr probably has it. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 564 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/26/Doom_Emacs_and_Doom_on_a_Raspberry_Pi.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/26/Doom_Emacs_and_Doom_on_a_Raspberry_Pi.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Doom Emacs and Doom on a Raspberry Pi⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 26, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇DOOM_on_My_Raspberry_Pi⦈_ * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 4_Reasons_Doom_Emacs_Should_Be_Your_Next_Programming Project⠀⇛ Configuring a text editor is not everyone's idea of fun. But you're here, and you're probably looking for a new project. Doom makes the Emacs on-ramp much easier, and for the tinkerer, Emacs has endless potential. I have four reasons why Doom Emacs should be your next project. § It Makes Beginning Emacs Easy One of the most common complaints about advanced text editors is the time required for configuration. Doom Emacs addresses that issue, making the process of configuring Emacs much easier. Essentially, Doom Emacs serves as a configuration framework that simplifies many of Emacs's technical aspects. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Running_DOOM_on_My_Raspberry_Pi_Was_Surprisingly_Easy⠀⇛ So you just got a Raspberry Pi device, and you want to christen it by recreating the meme: run Doom on that tiny computer. Luckily for you, you can start blasting demons with just a few commands in the Raspberry Pi terminal. Before going through this process with my Raspberry Pi 3 B, I was worried I'd have to do complex tasks like adding third- party repositories, installing and configuring an emulator, and carefully placing game files gathered from shady websites. It turns out none of that is necessary. You just need to know what engine package to install and, if you have one, how to direct the engine to the specific Doom game file you want to play. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⡶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠖⠒⠒⠒⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣏⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠤⢿⣿⣟⣳⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠒⠠⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⢿⣽⣷⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠒⠛⠛⠛⠃⠁⠀⠀⠠⡄⠀⠀⠠⠀⢸⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠾⠿⠿⠞⠟⠛⠁⠛⠛⠁⠀⠰⠶⠴⠄⠠⠗⢾⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡏⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠂⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⡤⢨⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣉⡛⠿⣿⡿⢰⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣇⠠⠀⠀⠀⠠⠄⠀⠀⠄⠀⣰⣦⣤⣤⡾⣿⣿⠃⢬⣴⣮⡧⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣷⡆⣁⠏⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠐⠶⠆⢀⣤⣴⠶⠠⣴⣶⣿⣦⣿⣿⣧⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡏⣼⡿⢠⣌⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⡽⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢿⣿⣆⠛⢡⣿⣿⣿⡦⠍⠛⠟⠛⣛⣉⣩⢅⣄⣀⣀⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠿⠏⠿⠟⠛⠋⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡌⢿⡿⢡⣶⣶⣾⣿⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣬⣍⣉⣛⠟⠋⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣤⡤⠄⠀⠈⠙⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡈⠃⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⣛⣫⣭⣭⣥⣠⠼⢟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣷⠀⣌⣛⠋⣋⣩⣥⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢛⣵⣾⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠁⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠍⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣧⡘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡵⠿⢿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠩⡉⠂⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠉⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⡘⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⡀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⡿⠛⠑⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠁⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⢀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠉⠀⠒⠂⠠⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⡋⠁⠁⠂⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠁⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⡿⠛⠁⠈⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 645 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/26/Foot_Terminal_Lightning_Fast_Lightweight_and_Made_for_Wayland.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/26/Foot_Terminal_Lightning_Fast_Lightweight_and_Made_for_Wayland.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Foot Terminal: Lightning-Fast, Lightweight, and Made for Wayland⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Oct 26, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Foot_Terminal⦈_ Quoting: Foot Terminal: Lightning-Fast, Lightweight, and Made for Wayland — Linux users sure can’t complain about not having enough terminal emulators—there’s a massive selection out there to fit just about every need.

I've run Tails from a USB stick (an OS that blew the lid off the NSA) and installed a 50 MB operating system to revive a decade-old PC. And I thought I'd seen it all. Turns out, I was wrong. There's a whole world of experimental operating systems out there that most people have never heard of. So I loaded up my Ventoy USB drive and spent a weekend testing four of the strangest ones I could find. [...] Damn Small Linux (DSL) was the answer to the question "how much can you pack into 50MB?". The original version fit on a business card CD and proved you didn't need gigabytes for a working desktop. The project went quiet for years, then came back in 2024 with a 700MB version. It's built on antiX 23 i386, which means it'll run on ancient hardware—first- gen Intel Core chips, Pentium 4 desktops, stuff you probably forgot you still had.

It wasn't until May that I decided (nudged by work) to dive into Linux, making my first experience as intimidating as possible by going all-in on Arch Linux. At the time, I had a lot of grievances with it as a first-timer. Setup seemed unnecessarily complicated, and I can definitely see how it would deter a newcomer from making the switch. But after just a few months, Arch Linux quickly became my favorite distro, and while it may come with some hurdles, I still find it the best option as a Windows convert. It may not be for everyone, but if you're willing to learn a little bit, it quickly becomes less intimidating.

Many Linux distributions also ship a BGRT Plymouth theme (the boot splash). Fedora if I recall correctly have also been pioneering a flicker-free boot effort.

It is nearly a total clone of Tinkercad but runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, or even Chrome OS. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Radxa_Rolls_Out_Dragon_Q6A_Featuring_Qualcomm_QCS6490, 12_TOPS_NPU,_and_6th-Gen_AI_Engine⠀⇛ Radxa has rolled out the Dragon Q6A, a compact single-board computer built on Qualcomm’s QCS6490 octa-core platform. Designed for industrial, IoT, and edge computing environments, the board combines high-performance CPU and GPU cores with integrated AI acceleration, multiple display interfaces, and flexible storage options. * ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Anthropic_strikes_multibillion-dollar_deal_with_Google to_access_a_million_TPUs⠀⇛ The deal will give Anthropic access to up to one million of Google Cloud’s tensor processing units or TPUs, which it wants to use to train and run large language models such as Claude.

Mobile phones have become the primary computing devices for many, yet they remain fortresses of proprietary control, locking people into systems that undermine their freedom. This is a profound ethical failing. Proprietary software gives developers unjust power over people, turning them into mere subjects in their digital kingdoms. Free software is the only moral solution to this problem, returning control to those who use the machines. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ IBM's_boffins_run_a_nifty_quantum_error-correction algorithm_on_standard_AMD_FPGAs,_and_it_is'_10_times_faster_than_what_is needed'_—_research_propels_IBM's_Starling_quantum_computer_project forward⠀⇛ IBM's Starling project gets a boost from quantum error- correction algorithms running on conventional AMD FPGAs * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Identifying_Fake_Small-Signal_Transistors⠀⇛ It’s rather amazing how many electronic components you can buy right now are not quite the genuine parts that they are sold as. Outside of dedicated platforms like Mouser, Digikey and LCSC you pretty much enter a Wild West of unverifiable claims and questionable authenticity. When it comes to sites like eBay and AliExpress, [hjf] would go so far as to state that any of the power transistors available for sale on these sites are 100% fake. But even small-signal transistors are subject to fakes, as proven in a comparison. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Get_Ready_For_Supercon⠀⇛ It’s just about all we can think about over here: the week leading up to the 2025 Superconference. From what we hear, it’s all-hands-on over in Pasadena right now, as everyone is putting the finishing touches on preparations for Hackaday’s annual  US gathering. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Relay_Computer_Knows_The_Sequence⠀⇛ When we first saw [DiPDoT’s] homebrew computer, we thought it was an Altair 8800. But, no. While it has a very familiar front panel, the working parts are all based on relays. While it isn’t finished, the machine can already do some simple calculations as you can see in the video below. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1538 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/26/Plasma_Design_System_Leaps_Forward_with_Migration_to_Penpot.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/26/Plasma_Design_System_Leaps_Forward_with_Migration_to_Penpot.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Plasma Design System Leaps Forward with Migration to Penpot⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Oct 26, 2025 Quoting: Plasma Design System Leaps Forward with Migration to Penpot – KDE and Plasma Design — We’re excited to share a major milestone in the development of the Ocean Design System for the Plasma Desktop!

But why Q4OS? Because it offered a similar interface (with the Q4XP theme pack), ran incredibly well on their old Pentium-era hardware, and was safe to run. I had recently revived my decade-old Dell laptop with Damn Small Linux. While it worked, it wasn't as efficient as I had hoped it would be. Since I had already seen Q4OS in action recently, I decided to give my own laptop the same Windows-like makeover. And the results were even better than I expected.

After all, unless you’re willing to wipe everything and start from scratch, you’ll be stuck with the distro once you’ve initialized the data pools. Modern NAS operating systems tend to ship with tons of packages and extra facilities to simplify your file transfer, backup, and data archival workloads. But what if you just want a no-nonsense NAS configuration – one that only features your favorite services? While there are a handful of simple distros out there, nothing beats the sheer flexibility of a custom NAS OS. Since I’ve cycled between most of the popular server-oriented operating systems out there, I figured I could try to set up an ultra-light NAS configuration – and it turned out to be a piece of cake! * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_automated_Proxmox_VMs_with_Terraform,_Ansible,_and_Semaphore_— here's_how⠀⇛ Since I work on server experiments fairly often, I tend to create new virtual machines, many of which end up getting destroyed when I’m done tinkering with them. Although Proxmox’s built-in VM creation wizard works well for the most part, going through the same set of resource allocation tabs can get rather annoying after the umpteenth time. That’s where automation tools like Terraform and Ansible come in handy, as they let me deploy and configure virtual machines using reusable configuration files. But aside from requiring lengthy config files, I also have to run a handful of terminal commands to get the automation platforms to do my bidding. While executing these commands takes a lot less time than deploying a new VM, arming it with an OS, and setting up the right packages manually, I’ve always wanted a simpler way to run my automation workflows. That’s when I ran into Semaphore, a web UI for managing and executing automation scripts. After spending a few days using Terraform and Ansible in tandem with Semaphore, I managed to create a collection of scripts to automatically spin up and configure disposable VMs for my home lab. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 3_Raspberry_Pi_Projects_to_Try_This_Weekend_(October_17_- 19)⠀⇛ Don't waste your weekend on the couch—dust off that old Raspberry Pi and get to work! There's no better time to flex your nerdy muscles and build something that you can be proud of, so to help give you a head start, I've collected three Raspberry Pi projects that you can complete in a weekend. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ My_Homelab_Was_Never_More_Valuable_Than_It_Was_This Weekend⠀⇛ This weekend, and continuing into the beginning of the week, many online services were dysfunctional or totally inaccessible. That happened because of a DNS bug on the part of Amazon. I avoided some of the issues though thanks to the homelabbing I do, meaning my hard work has paid off more than usual. § My Services Weren't Affected Not surprisingly, Amazon Prime went offline thanks to the outage. HBO Max did as well, not to mention everyone's favorite ad platform, Roku. I honestly didn't even notice because these days, I do almost all of my movie and TV show streaming with my Jellyfin media server. Since I host it myself, there are no ads and, crucially, no third party servers that can bring it down. Apple Music and Tidal were also down, and fortunately for me, Jellyfin also supports audio playback. I've uploaded my entire music collection so I can stream it from wherever I am, and it doesn't matter what the status of Amazon's US-EAST-1 is. I use the Fintunes app on my phone to get a similar experience to that of Tidal or Spotify. While Microsoft Office 365 was down, my local Nextcloud service was still up. I primarily use it for cloud storage, but it has plugins to allow for collaborative office productivity too. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ How_Long_Will_a_Self-Hosted_Photos_Server_Take_to_Pay_for Itself?⠀⇛ Are you tired of paying Google or Apple for cloud storage just to back your photos up? You may have heard self-hosting a photo server recommended. That alternative has its own costs, though, so how much should you expect to pay? There are many ways to self-host a photo server, but it might take longer to pay for itself than you’d expect. Of the two methods I’ll talk about here, one takes nearly a decade, and the other is paid off in under a year—so it’s up to you on which route you choose. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⡀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣛⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠘⣿⣯⡈⢉⣿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠹⣿⣿⣿⡏⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠙⠁⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣫⣥⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⢻⣿⣿⡇⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠹⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡈⠿⣿⣧⣬⣥⣶⣶⣶⣿⡿⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠘⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠹⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⡄⠙⠛⠡⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣬⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⢦⣴⣿⣿⣿⣄⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠹⣦⠘⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⢸⡿⠻⣿⣿⣯⣽⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣷⣿⣧⣀⣀⣀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⢈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣬⣉⡙⠛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣈⡉⠛⠛⠻⠿⣿⣶⣶⡾⠿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡿⠟⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠛⠷⢮⣛⠿⣶⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢲⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠉⠻⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⡟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1865 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/26/This_free_tool_brings_Time_Machine_to_any_Linux_machine.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/26/This_free_tool_brings_Time_Machine_to_any_Linux_machine.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ If you've ever used a Mac, you're probably familiar with its Time Machine feature⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Oct 26, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇timeshift⦈_ Quoting: This free tool brings Time Machine to any Linux machine — If you've ever used a Mac, you're probably familiar with its Time Machine feature. It's a system restore feature that lets you roll back to a saved point in macOS if something goes wrong while you are experimenting on your Mac. Windows also have a similar system restore feature. On Linux, however, such a type of safety net is absent by default. That's where Timeshift comes into play. Even if you are an avid Linux user, things can go sideways quickly, especially when you're experimenting with new kernels, distros, or system updates. Timeshift gives your Linux system a similar capability to Time Machine on macOS. It can create system snapshots that act like restore points, which you can use if something goes wrong with your distros. It's easy to install and get started with it.

It’s already fixed, to be released with Plasma 6.5.1. We’re also following up on an intentional change to the blur effect that unintentionally made it uglier in some cases. If you're happy with our work, check out KDE’s 2025 fundraiser! Every little bit helps. And we can dance and chew bubblegum too, so many eyes turned towards UI improvents and new features again!

To understand exactly how to best use bat, these examples will show you how the command works and what its various options allow you to do. § bat Does Syntax Highlighting by Default * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ How_to_Fix_Windows_and_Linux_Showing_Different_Times_When Dual_Booting⠀⇛ Your computer stores the time in a hardware clock on its motherboard. The clock keeps track of time, even when the computer is off. By default, Windows assumes the time is stored in local time, while Linux assumes the time is stored in UTC time and applies an offset. This leads to one of your operating systems showing the wrong time in a dual boot situation. To fix this, you have two options: Make Linux use local time, or make Windows use UTC time. Don't follow both steps of instructions or they still won't be speaking the same language! We recommend you make Linux use local time, if possible. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Here's_How_I_Beautified_Markdown_Reading_in_the_Terminal⠀⇛ Markdown has become nearly ubiquitous as the language of choice for simple text files with a smattering of formatting. With a subset of HTML semantics coupled to friendlier syntax, you’ll see Markdown in README files, other documentation, and rudimentary forms of structured data. Thanks to its pared-down syntax, Markdown is human-readable, but that doesn’t mean plain text is its best form. Various editors and viewers format Markdown, but Glow does this in the terminal, with spectacular results. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Memorizing_These_7_Linux_Command-Line_Options_Will_Turn You_Into_a_Pro⠀⇛ Linux commands often have long lists of options they support, many of which are single-letter mnemonics. These can be tricky to learn and remember, but their redeeming feature is their reusability: common options are shared by different commands. The following options are the most common and are widely available across several commands. Learn these, and you’ll gain a solid understanding of how to use many different programs, with consistent results. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ How_to_Clean_Up_Your_Broken_Symlinks:_The_Good_Way_and_the Better_Way⠀⇛ Symbolic links are a great way to organize your files, but they’re not perfect. Symlinks are pretty fragile, and it’s easy to end up with links that point to non-existent files. The find program can help you tackle this problem, but there’s a third- party tool that does the job even better. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2639 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 27 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
