i.e. the news cycle - is very slow this week (more so than the rest of the year), so... as promised before, at the end of last week we've finally begun an explosive new series in the sister site (it's receiving loads of traffic; we're told that "almost everybody" at the EPO reads that site; almost 7,000 people work there), we're planning to launch site search tomorrow, and today we went out to get a giant sack of seeds for the birds. So far it's a productive week. Later this week we plan to get some legal advice to ensure truth_prevail because suppressed_facts matter to the general public.

BleachBit is a free open-source application for GNU/Linux and backdoored Windows that can free up disk space by deleting cookies, cleaning internet history, discarding junks and removing logs. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Valgrind_3.26.0_released⠀⇛ Version 3.26.0 of the Valgrind memory-profiling and debugging framework has been released.

Ubuntu is one of the most all-around Linux distributions on the market. This distribution checks all the boxes and then some. And although the UI might be a bit foreign to users accustomed to the likes of Windows or MacOS, it's easy enough to figure out within minutes of first logging in. Ubuntu also uses the HWE (Hardware Enablement) kernel, which means it works well on modern hardware, while at the same time works beautifully on older machines as well. Ubuntu has access to a repository with a vast amount of software, as well as Snap packages. Ubuntu also includes AppArmor for rock-solid security (along with the usual Linux permissions system, which certainly helps). Finally, Ubuntu simplifies upgrades with an automated system, and both apt and Snap make upgrades easy; there's no way you'll struggle with keeping your system up to date. * ⚓ ZDNet ☛ I_just_found_an_obscure_Linux_distro_that's_outstanding_on_old hardware⠀⇛ Until last week, I'd never heard of Vinari OS. But now that I have, I've found it to be a gem of an obscure Linux distribution that caters to new users who don't want to bother with post-install tweaks or having to install the software they need to use their PC. This distribution might be especially appealing to users wanting to finally leave the confines of Windows for greener pastures. "With a thoughtfully curated suite of pre-installed tools, Vinari OS 5.0.0 KRYPTON lets you get started instantly. Create with ease using the versatile LibreOffice suite, stay connected with the elegant Geary email client, and browse the web effortlessly through Firefox," the Vinari website says. Vinari OS won't overwhelm you with software (like some Linux distributions do). It includes only what you need to get started. You'll find BleachBit, Geary, Firefox, LibreOffice, Secrets 9for creating/importing KeePass safes), Lollipop (music player), Videos, Contacts, Gnote, and a handful of other apps. * ⚓ ZDNet ☛ Ready_to_ditch_Windows?_I_found_a_powerful_mini_PC_that's optimized_for_Linux⠀⇛ Any chance I can get to review a Linux-powered PC, I'm thrilled to do so. It's not only because I get to experience how a third party approaches the OS, but also because it means there are more avenues for consumers to purchase Linux systems. If you've ever heard of Kubuntu, you know it's a spin on Ubuntu that focuses on the KDE Plasma desktop -- a brilliant desktop UI. Kubuntu Focus, on the other hand, is a company dedicated to selling laptops and desktops powered by the Kubuntu OS. After receiving the Kubuntu Focus NX Gen3, unboxing, and setting it up, I hit the power and watched as Kubuntu loaded. In seconds, I was greeted with the onboarding wizard. In stark contrast to any Windows PC I've reviewed, it took me less than two minutes to have the NX Gen3 up and running. * ⚓ ZDNet ☛ The_only_antivirus_I_trust_on_Linux_-_and_it's_free_to_use⠀⇛ I've said many times over the years that Linux does not need antivirus software. That, of course, assumes you compute in a bubble. If you happen to share files with others, that's another story altogether. Sharing files with Windows users without vetting them could land those other users in trouble - - of a malicious kind. Imagine that you've unwittingly downloaded a file from some dark spot on the web. You don't check it for malicious code, but you send it on to 50 users anyway. Some of those 50 users then send the same file on to others, which could wind up a vast web of trouble. Had you scanned that file before sending it, you might have known it contained malicious code and would have deleted it immediately. If your operating system is Linux, what would you use for scanning that file? Your best option is ClamAV. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 381 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/28/Done_With_Windows_This_Linux_Distro_Makes_It_Easy_to_Switch.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/28/Done_With_Windows_This_Linux_Distro_Makes_It_Easy_to_Switch.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Done With Windows? This Linux Distro Makes It Easy to Switch⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Oct 28, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Software_Manager⦈_ Quoting: Done With Windows? This Linux Distro Makes It Easy to Switch — Unlike Windows and macOS, there isn't just one version of Linux. Instead, Linux is packaged into many different distributions, or "distros," each with their own interface and set of features. One may use a Mac-like interface with a dock and "app store," while others may be more minimalistic and require installing apps from the command line. For your first installation, you'll likely want something popular and beginner-friendly, so it's easy to use but also has a large community from which you can get help when you need it. Zorin OS mimics Windows in layout and functionality, but it won't have as big a community. Ubuntu, on the other hand, is arguably the most popular distro, but it isn't very Windows-like these days. This is why I recommend starting with Linux Mint for the first installation, since it's a perfect in-between option: It's designed for beginners, offers a familiar environment, and is based on Ubuntu, so you can ask for help from the enormous Ubuntu/Mint community. I'll be using Mint for the purpose of this guide. It's not my personal distro of choice, but it's great for new Windows migrants.

Increasingly, devices are being equipped with a 2.5 Gbps network port, or even multiple ports. For instance, my NAS systems each have multiple 2.5 Gbps ethernet ports, as do the 3 mini PCs that I’m currently writing articles about. The ubiquity of 2.5 Gbps makes all transfers fast. For devices that only host a gigabit ethernet port, there is always a cheap upgrade path, preferably by adding a PCIe card, or if that’s physically impossible, with a USB dongle. I’ve recently upgraded my broadband to 2 Gbps download and upload (I’m actually getting 2.3 Gbps). My ISP provides a Zyxel router which has a single 2.5 Gbps LAN port. I could replace the ‘free’ router with a router that offers multiple 2.5 Gbps ethernet ports. But that’s very expensive. A much more practical solution is to add a 2.5 Gbps switch. That way multiple devices can access the fast internet speed as well as quickly transfer data locally. I connect the switch to my router and my local devices. This review looks at the BrosTrend 8 Port 2.5 Gbps switch. It retails for £50. * ⚓ Bibman_-_BIBliography_MANager_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Bibman (BIBliography MANager) is a small console tool for managing BibTeX files.

JPEG files degraded more gracefully than GIFs, retaining more of the picture’s initial form—and that allowed the format to scale to greater levels of success. While it wasn’t capable of animation, it progressively expanded from something a modem could pokily render to a format that was good enough for high-end professional photography. For the Internet’s purposes, the degradation was the important part. But it wasn’t the only thing that made the JPEG immensely valuable to the digital world. An essential part was that it was a documented standard built by numerous stakeholders. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 832 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/28/Games_Brotato_Comes_to_GNU_Linux_and_Lenovo_Legion_Go_Extreme_M.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/28/Games_Brotato_Comes_to_GNU_Linux_and_Lenovo_Legion_Go_Extreme_M.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Brotato Comes to GNU/Linux and "Lenovo Legion Go Extreme Mode Is Coming To Address The Gaming Handheld's Biggest Flaw In Linux"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 28, 2025 * ⚓ Brotato_gets_first_proper_content_drop_of_the_Evil_Empire_era,_plus_Mac and_Linux_support⠀⇛ Brotato is now under new management after Evil Empire recently took over the direction of everyone’s favourite potato-themed auto-shooter.

At the time of the Brotato X Evil Empire announcement we got a little tiny update to the game with a small injection of content, but a much bigger one just dropped and, in particular, there’s quite a few interesting quality of life changes to tell you about. * ⚓ Hot Hardware ☛ Lenovo_Legion_Go_Extreme_Mode_Is_Coming_To_Address_The Gaming_Handheld's_Biggest_Flaw_In_Linux⠀⇛ Linux users running Lenovo's Legion gaming handhelds and laptops are about to get a much-needed update to the way their systems handle power profiles. Developer Derek J. Clark has submitted a new patch series to the Linux kernel that adds explicit support for an "Extreme" performance mode to the lenovo-wmi-gamezone driver and overhauls how compatible systems are detected. The change is aimed at improving reliability and eliminating confusing behavior in tools that expose Lenovo's built-in performance profiles to userspace. The short version: some Lenovo Legion devices report support for an "Extreme" thermal mode in firmware, but don't actually implement it correctly. In theory, the mode pushes the CPU and GPU power limits to the maximum levels the cooling system can handle, but on some devices, this is actually beyond what the internal battery can safely supply, and on other devices it was apparently stubbed out, meaning it doesn't necessarily do anything at all. Earlier kernel versions tried to work around buggy firmware by maintaining a deny-list of affected devices, but Clark's patches flip that logic to an explicit allow-list. In practice, that means no Legion Go models will offer Extreme mode in the software until they've been tested and validated for stable behavior. This change also clears up one of the stranger quirks in Linux on recent Legion systems. Because of how the firmware misreported profile names, Linux tools like GNOME's power settings and third-party utilities could show mismatched modes—"Performance" in the UI might actually trigger a "Balanced-Performance" state under the hood, or even invoke the half-implemented Extreme mode. The result was inconsistent LED indicators (where color cues didn't match between Windows and Linux), and the impression among some users that "Performance" mode was performing poorly on Linux. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 913 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/28/Games_Turnbound_TimeSplitters_MISERY_Denuvo.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/28/Games_Turnbound_TimeSplitters_MISERY_Denuvo.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Turnbound, TimeSplitters, MISERY, Denuvo⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 28, 2025 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Grab_the_wonderful_Kingdom_series_in_a_new_Humble Bundle_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Kingdom: New Lands, Kingdom Two Crowns and more feature in the Kingdom: 10th Anniversary Bundle for you to stock up on some more great games.

A new proposed patch fixes this, corrects power profiles to work as intended, and makes it so that only explicitly approved models can get access to the Extreme mode easily. o § Kernel Space⠀➾ # ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Modern_Linux_filesystem_mounts_are rather_complex_things⠀⇛ Once upon a time, Unix filesystem mounts worked by putting one inode on top of another, and this was also how they worked in very early Linux. It wasn't wrong to say that mounts were really about inodes, with the names only being used to find the inodes. This is no longer how things work in Linux (and perhaps other Unixes, but Linux is what I'm most familiar with for this). Today, I believe that filesystem mounts in Linux are best understood as namespace operations. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Kevin Boone ☛ Kevin_Boone:_AppImage_from_scratch⠀⇛ An AppImage is a single file that contains an entire Linux application. In most cases, it doesn’t require any particular installation – the user just executes the file, and the AppImage takes care of the rest. AppImage doesn’t automate the collection or installation of an application’s dependencies – the AppImage file is expected simply to provide them. All of them. Technologies like FlatPak and Snap are superficially similar, but these all require some management infrastructure on the computer where the application is to run. AppImage requires only the Linux desktop (sometimes not even that), and some fundamental Linux utilities. o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ FreeBSD ☛ FreeBSD_now_builds_reproducibly_and_without_root privilege⠀⇛ The FreeBSD Foundation is pleased to announce that it has completed work to build FreeBSD without requiring root privilege. We have implemented support for all source release builds to use no- root infrastructure, eliminating the need for root privileges across the FreeBSD release pipeline. [...] The changes are currently available in the FreeBSD development branch and, where possible, are being merged into the release branch for FreeBSD 15.0. Building FreeBSD release artifacts no longer requires root access to create device files, set proper ownership, and mount file systems during the build process. This has improved security and made automated builds simpler. Now, every FreeBSD release artifact can be built without root privileges: [...] o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ Planet_News_Roundup⠀⇛ The below featured highlights listed on the community’s blog feed aggregator are from October 18 to 26. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Exploding_The_Mystical_Craftsman_Myth⠀⇛ As a Hackaday writer, I see a lot of web pages, social media posts, videos, and other tips as part of my feed. The  best ones I try to bring you here, assuming of course that one of my ever-vigilant colleagues hasn’t beaten me to it. Along the way I see the tropes of changing content creator fashion; those ridiculous pea-sized hand held microphones, or how all of a sudden everything has to be found in the woods. Some of them make me laugh, but there’s one I see a lot which has made me increasingly annoyed over the years. I’m talking of course about the craftsman myth. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1273 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/28/GNU_Linux_Videos_Available_From_Invidious_This_Past_Week.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/28/GNU_Linux_Videos_Available_From_Invidious_This_Past_Week.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux Videos: Available From Invidious This Past Week⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 28, 2025 * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-10-27_[Older]_Ubuntu_25.10_Setup_—_From_Download_to Desktop⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-10-27_[Older]_My_84_Year_Old_Mom_Uses_Linux!...Why Can't_YOU?⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-10-27_[Older]_How_to_install_Zorin_OS_18_Core⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-10-27_[Older]_Wayland_Desktop_5_Years_Too_Early_To_Be Awesome⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-10-26_[Older]_COSMIC_Desktop_Is_Technically_Correct But_Feels_Wrong⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-10-26_[Older]_Fedora_43_Delayed?_When_A_Fedora_Release Breaks⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-10-26_[Older]_Full_Linux_apps_on_Android,_Plasma_6.5, Zorin_OS_does_big_numbers_-_Linux_Weekly_News⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-10-26_[Older]_Tech_skill_planning_for_the_greedy_and lazy⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-10-25_[Older]_How_to_install_ClassiCube_on_Kubuntu 24.04⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-10-25_[Older]_Learning_The_Linux_File_System_2025⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-10-25_[Older]_Zorin_OS_18_Core_overview_|_Make_your computer_better.⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-10-24_[Older]_My_Linux_Desktop_Just_Got_Scary!_👻_ (Hyprland_Halloween_Setup_on_Arch_With_Dot_Files)⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-10-23_[Older]_KDE_Plasma_Needs_Your_Help!⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-10-23_[Older]_Fsearch_Is_An_Amazing_File_Searcher_For Linux⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-10-22_[Older]_GZDoom_Explodes,_Team_Leaves_For_A Fork⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-10-22_[Older]_I_Installed_LMDE_7_on_my_Main_Machine!_| Linux_Mint_Debian_Edition_Review⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-10-22_[Older]_10_Things_I_Wish_I_Knew_About_Linux_(All Things_Open_2025)⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-10-20_[Older]_A_StormOS_Live_Stream⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1358 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/28/Graphics_Collabora_on_Zink_and_Latest_Work_by_Mike_Blumenkrantz.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/28/Graphics_Collabora_on_Zink_and_Latest_Work_by_Mike_Blumenkrantz.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Graphics: Collabora on Zink and Latest Work by Mike Blumenkrantz⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 28, 2025 * ⚓ Collabora ☛ From_browsers_to_better_drivers:_Fixing_Zink’s synchronization_the_hard_way⠀⇛ By resolving critical synchronization bugs in Zink’s Vulkan–OpenGL interop, Faith Ekstrand paved the way for Zink+NVK to become the default OpenGL implementation for Nouveau. * ⚓ Mike_Blumenkrantz:_Apitrace_Goes_Vroom⠀⇛ Today marks the first post of a type that I’ve wanted to have for a long while: a guest post.

The development comes as the ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation has emerged as one of the most active ransomware groups, accounting for 84 victims each in the months of August and September 2025. The Russian-speaking threat group emerged around July 2022. * ⚓ Dark Reading ☛ Qilin_Targets_Windows_Hosts_With_Linux-Based Ransomware⠀⇛ The Quilin ransomware group has attacked Windows hosts using a Linux-based binary in a cross-platform attack that can evade Windows-centric detections and security solutions, including conventional endpoint detection and response (EDR) platforms. Trend Micro identified the unique attack from the group, which Trend Micro tracks as "Agenda" and considers it as one of the most impactful ransomware groups currently active. In the attack, Qilin deployed the Linux-based ransomware binary on Windows hosts by abusing legitimate remote management and file transfer tools — specifically, AnyDesk, ATERA Networks’ remote monitoring and management (RMM) platform, and ScreenConnect. The group "utilized a novel deployment method combining WinSCP for secure file transfer and Splashtop Remote for executing the Linux ransomware binary on Windows machines," Trend Micro researchers wrote in a blog post published Friday. * ⚓ CSO ☛ Cross-platform_ransomware:_Qilin_weaponizes_Linux_binaries against_Windows_hosts⠀⇛ Agenda ransomware group, popularly known as Qilin, has been abusing legitimate remote management and file transfer tools, security researchers revealed in a new disclosure. By deploying a Linux-based ransomware binary on Windows hosts, the threat actor has affected more than 700 victims since January 2025. According to Trend Micro findings, the cross-platform execution sidesteps Windows-centric detections and security solutions, including conventional endpoint detection and response platforms. The technique used by the Agenda ransomware group can also disable recovery options through the targeted theft of backup credentials and by Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) attack to neutralize endpoint defenses. “Agenda’s campaign is dangerous because it fuses cross-platform execution with remote-management abuse and driver-level tampering. Running a Linux encryptor through Windows remote tools and using BYOVD to kill EDR creates a potent, detection- resistant mix,” said Chirag Mehta, vice president and principal analyst at Constellation Research. * ⚓ Security Affairs ☛ Linux_variant_of_Qilin_Ransomware_targets_Windows via_remote_management_tools_and_BYOVD⠀⇛ Trend Research found that the Qilin ransomware group (aka Agenda) used a Linux ransomware binary on Windows systems via legitimate remote tools, bypassing Windows defenses and EDRs. The cross-platform method enables stealthy attacks, stealing backup credentials and disabling endpoint protections through BYOVD exploits. The Linux ransomware was deployed on Windows systems using WinSCP for secure file transfer and Splashtop Remote for executing the ransomware binary. The attackers abused AnyDesk via ATERA RMM, ScreenConnect, and MeshCentral to evade detection, and used BYOVD for defense evasion. Attackers also stole Veeam backup credentials to block recovery. Trend Micro highlights that the cross-platform tactic bypasses Windows defenses, showing evolving attacker sophistication. “This attack challenges traditional Windows-focused security controls.” reads the report published by Trend Micro. “The deployment of Linux ransomware on Windows systems demonstrates how threat actors are adapting to bypass endpoint detection systems not configured to detect or prevent Linux binaries executing through remote management channels.” ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1744 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/28/nEMU_3_4_Ncurses_Based_QEMU_Frontend_Released_with_VM_Preview_F.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/28/nEMU_3_4_Ncurses_Based_QEMU_Frontend_Released_with_VM_Preview_F.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ nEMU 3.4 Ncurses-Based QEMU Frontend Released with VM Preview Feature⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Oct 28, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇nEMU_logo⦈_ Quoting: nEMU 3.4 Ncurses-Based QEMU Frontend Released with VM Preview Feature — After a year and a half of silence, the lightweight QEMU frontend nEMU has returned with a new release — version 3.4 — featuring some improvements and new features for users who prefer managing virtual machines directly from the terminal.

Deep Dish was the code name for the planned but unreleased ANS 300, a small rackmountable version (as opposed to the rackmount plates Apple sold for the 500 and 700 which take up a whopping 19U), so here was a prototype machine running development ROMs booting an operating system it was never actually sold with. More to the point, he confirmed the Windows NT ROMs actually did exist and worked as well. * ⚓ Chris Aldrich ☛ Acquired_1946_Royal_KMM_Standard_Typewriter_(Royal Typewriter_Co._Inc.)⠀⇛ I purchased this 1946 Royal KMM standard typewriter on October 4th via Goodwill for $22.00.

To introduce some variability, LeMaster added pan and tilt motors. A linear actuator does the tilting, while a stepper motor and 3D-printed gearset do the panning. Two proximity sensors act as limit switches for the pan mechanism. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ Morphing_Meta-antennas_enable_frequency_manipulation⠀⇛ An antenna’s physical properties are inextricably linked to its electromagnetic properties and how it radiates and receives radio waves. One of the simplest examples is extension, like with an old cell phone or FM radio antenna. But shape and structure can have more dramatic effects, which is why we have so many different kinds of antennas. If you could change the shape of an antenna on demand, you could influence the frequencies it transmits, receives, and resonates.

The thing is that AI can code, but it can't build software. This is the conclusion I've come to after spending a significant amount of time writing AI-assisted code and watching demos by other people. There is old wisdom that says: Coding is easy, software engineering is hard. It seems fair enough to say that LLMs are already able to automate a lot of coding. GPT-5 and the like solve isolated well-defined problems with a pretty nice success rate. Coding, however, is not what most people are getting paid for. Building a production-ready app is not coding, it’s software engineering. * ⚓ Leon Mika ☛ Devlog:_UCL_-_Adding_Some_Missing_Library_Functions⠀⇛ Working on UCL, adding some missing builtins I’ve been finding myself wanting.

While .eh_frame can be used for call trace recording, it is often criticized for its runtime overhead. As an alternative, developers can enable frame pointers, or adopt SFrame, a newer format designed specifically for profiling. This article examines the size overhead of enabling non-DWARF stack walking mechanisms when building several LLVM executables. Runtime performance analysis will be added in a future update. * ⚓ AdventOfCode ☛ About_-_Advent_of_Code_2025⠀⇛ Advent of Code is an Advent calendar of small programming puzzles for a variety of skill levels that can be solved in any programming language you like.

You don't need a computer science background to participate - just a little programming knowledge and some problem solving skills will get you pretty far. Nor do you need a fancy computer; every problem has a solution that completes in at most 15 seconds on ten-year-old hardware. * ⚓ Lukáš Lalinský ☛ How_I_turned_Zig_into_my_favorite_language_to_write network_programs_in⠀⇛ Fast forward to today, I’m happy to introduce Zio, an asynchronous I/O and concurrency library for Zig. If you look at the examples, you will not really see where is the asynchronous I/O, but it’s there, in the background and that’s the point. Writing asynchronous code with callbacks is a pain. Not only that, it requires a lot of allocations, because you need state to survive across callbacks. Zio is an implementation of Go style concurrency, but limited to what’s possible in Zig. Zio tasks are stackful coroutines with fixed- size stacks. When you run stream.read(), this will initiate the I/O operation in the background and then suspend the current task until the I/O operation is done. When it’s done, the task will be resumed, and the result will be returned. That gives you the illusion of synchronous code, allowing for much simpler state management. * ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_#054:_Faster_r-ci_Contimuous Integration_via_r2u_Container⠀⇛ Welcome to post 54 in the R4 series.

Unfortunately it’s generally rather easy to detect whether or not one’s software runs inside a VM, with [bRootForce] going through a list of ways that a VirtualBox VM can be detected from inside the guest OS. While there are a range of obvious naming issues, such as the occurrence of the word ‘VirtualBox’ everywhere, there many more subtle ways too. * ⚓ SANS ☛ Bytes_over_DNS,_(Mon,_Oct_27th)⠀⇛ I was intrigued when Johannes talked about malware that uses BASE64 over DNS to communicate.

pretty trivial, and typically one of the first projects for any new self- hoster, but music streaming services are a whole different beast. There's a growing need to replace the likes of Spotify, but there's no one-size-fits-all solution, and maintaining an on-disk music library will always be a lot of manual work. That being said, I've put together a stack that I'm happy with for now, and there was some interest in the full details, so I'll try to slap together a tutorial here. Full disclosure, I'm far from an expert, and I've only been running my own home server for about 4 months now, and I'm not exactly great at writing tutorials, but here we go. * ⚓ How_to_Install_Vaultwarden_Password_Manager_on_Ubuntu_24.04⠀⇛ Vaultwarden, a password manager application, is an unofficial Bitwarden server alternative written in Rust. Vaultwarden supports connections through the Bitwarden client and is relatively resource-light compared to the official Bitwarden service. Caddy itself is a modern, easy-to-use web server known for its automated HTTPS management capabilities using Let’s Encrypt. Unlike web servers like Nginx or Apache, which require manual configuration for SSL certificates, Caddy can automatically download and renew SSL certificates without user intervention. This feature is very useful for users who want to secure Vaultwarden connections quickly and without the hassle of additional configuration. Furthermore, Caddy supports a built-in reverse proxy, making it ideal for routing HTTPS traffic to Vaultwarden services running in Docker containers. In this article, we will show you how to install Vaultwarden Password Manager on Ubuntu 24.04 on a Docker container. * ⚓ Paul_Tagliamonte:_It's_NOT_always_DNS.⠀⇛ I’ve written down a new rule (no name, sorry) that I’ll be repeating to myself and those around me. “If you can replace ‘DNS’ with ‘key value store mapping a name to an ip’ and it still makes sense, it was not, in fact, DNS.” Feel free to repeat it along with me. * ⚓ How_to_Install_Vim_on_Ubuntu_Without_Using_the_Terminal⠀⇛ Command Terminal offers the most straightforward way to install applications on Linux. However, if you’re looking to install Vim on Ubuntu without opening the terminal, then we can do that as well, and that is what we are going to discuss in this tutorial. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ How_To_Install_Gitea_on_CentOS_Stream_10⠀⇛ Self-hosting your Git repositories has never been more accessible. Gitea offers a lightweight, open-source alternative to platforms like Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub and GitLab, giving you complete control over your source code management. This comprehensive guide walks you through installing Gitea on CentOS Stream 10, from initial system preparation to securing your new Git service. o ⚓ How_To_Install_ReactJS_on_AlmaLinux_10⠀⇛ React.js has become one of the most popular JavaScript libraries for building dynamic user interfaces and single-page applications. When combined with AlmaLinux 10, an enterprise-grade GNU/Linux distribution known for its stability and security, developers get a robust foundation for modern web development. o ⚓ How_To_Install_Nessus_Scanner_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Vulnerability scanning has become an indispensable component of modern cybersecurity infrastructure. Organizations face increasing threats from sophisticated attacks that exploit software vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and security weaknesses. o ⚓ How_To_Install_Brave_Browser_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Brave Browser has emerged as a leading privacy-focused web browser that blocks ads and trackers by default while maintaining compatibility with Chrome extensions. Fedora 42 introduces significant improvements including the new DNF5 package manager, enhanced performance optimizations, and better hardware support, making it an ideal platform for running modern web browsers. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3142 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/28/Ubuntu_News_and_Latest_Newsletter.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/28/Ubuntu_News_and_Latest_Newsletter.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ubuntu News and Latest Newsletter⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 28, 2025 * ⚓ Ubuntu News ☛ Ubuntu_Weekly_Newsletter_Issue_915⠀⇛ Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue 915 for the week of October 19 – 25, 2025.

Then asked if the machine had a CD drive and once we opened the disk drive we discovered the culprit. A printer driver CD was loaded and when the computer restarted it was set to boot from CD and since it was a printer disk and not a operating system disk, it was stuck in a boot loop on the driver disk. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3183 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/28/Ubuntu_Unity_Project_Faces_Uncertain_Future.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/28/Ubuntu_Unity_Project_Faces_Uncertain_Future.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ubuntu Unity Project Faces Uncertain Future⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Oct 28, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Ubuntu_Unity_logo⦈_ Quoting: Ubuntu Unity Project Faces Uncertain Future — Probably more Ubuntu enthusiasts have noticed that Unity, the official Ubuntu flavor that brings back the once-beloved Unity desktop for the first time since gaining official status, has failed to deliver a 25.10 release. Well, there’s a reason for that, and now its maintainers are publicly asking for help. In a post published yesterday, one of the Ubuntu Unity team members explained that project lead Rudra Saraswat, who’s been at the center of development since the remix’s early days, no longer has time to maintain the project due to university studies. Combined with the temporary absence of other contributors, this has left the team without the manpower needed to test, fix, and ship new ISOs. “Unity is broken and needs to be fixed,” the statement bluntly admits, describing critical bugs that prevent both fresh installs and upgrades from Ubuntu 25.04 to 25.10.

Over my morning coffee, I was browsing coverage on Google Chromebooks and came across this article at T3 published yesterday. It’s titled “What can you do on a Chromebook?”. The subtitle is offers additional detail: “Windows? Word? Zoom? Minecraft? We break down exactly what you can and can’t do on a Chromebook.” It’s a good read, and I hope the author and/or T3 doesn’t take offense to what I’m going to say. While the article is mostly accurate, it’s incomplete. And it definitely does not inform potential buyers of Google Chromebooks exactly what you can and can’t do with one. To make my explanation easier, I’m going to borrow the article sub-headings below and show you what I mean, section by section. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 3305 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 35 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
