The decision, announced yesterday, marks the end of one of Mozilla’s oldest and most dedicated localization groups. SUMO, short for Support Mozilla, is the umbrella project for Mozilla’s user support platform, support.mozilla.org, that brings together volunteers and contributors worldwide who translate, maintain, and update documentation, tutorials, and troubleshooting guides for Firefox, Thunderbird, and other Mozilla products.

Upon returning home we found that there is a green parrot visiting our big tree. It's already winter, it's actually warm for mid-November, but it's probably getting a lot colder this weekend and it is definitely going to get too cold for this parrot, sooner if not a lot later. This parrot must have escaped some home, it's not some thing one finds "in the wild"; we're assuming that someone lost it, knowing it's definitely not some European wildlife species but a tropical species. This beautiful creature eats fruit from the tree not just today; this is a repeat visitor. Maybe the parrot - like the white bird (dove, which we've called "Pure") - is a sign of good things, but we worry that a cold winter would be deadly to it. █ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣾⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣀⣼⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣅⣿⣿⣿⣿⢇⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⢃⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠙⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢣⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡃⣹⣿⡿⢟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢀⣤⣾⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠓⠸⢘⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠃⠀⠀⠤⠾⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣱⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡟⢀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⡀⠈⠙⠿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢻⣿⣿ ⠁⠀⠀⠀⣀⡠⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⡷⢏⣴⣿⣿⡿⣵⢿⣿⣿⡿⠾⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⢺⣶⣤⡉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⡏⠘⡇⠈⣿⣿ ⣠⣴⣶⠞⠉⠀⠀⣠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⣿⣿⣿⣯⣻⢟⣽⢏⡼⣫⣟⡞⡁⠀⠈⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠉⢽⣿⣆⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡘⠟⠛⠿⢿⠂⢻⠁⠀⠀⠀⡿⠁ ⡿⠋⢠⣴⣿⠃⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡏⢨⡡⠞⣡⡿⣱⢟⡾⣹⠃⣠⣾⣿⣟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠀⣀⡀⠨⣽⣿⣆⠀⢻⣿⡛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠙⠻⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣀⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣠⡼⣫⣵⢋⣼⢻⡟⡵⠃⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠈⠙⢿⡀⠀⢻⢷⡀⠙⠻⠿⠏⠻⣿⣿⠆⠀⠀⠉⠁⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⡟⢱⣼⡟⢡⡞⢁⣯⣶⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠅⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣇⡜⢋⢰⠏⢀⣿⣿⣧⡄⠀⠏⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢀⣀⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣯⢀⠇⠁⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⡌⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠻⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⢠⠜⡝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 332 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/07/BSD_and_ZFS_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/07/BSD_and_ZFS_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ BSD and ZFS Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 07, 2025 * ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ We_have_Nvidia_snow⠀⇛ I put the Xmas decorations up a bit earlier this year, because why not.

The widget still displays as a bright white box with black text, even when all the other display elements are dark. This isn’t just a cosmetic matter: I use a dark theme on my handsets with OLED displays to reduce the risk of burn-in, and to save energy. OLED displays are not back-lit – only the bright pixels use energy. So it can save a bit of battery life to use a dark theme, as well as potentially extending the life of the display. Still, everybody is very busy, and it’s hard to complain about software we aren’t paying for. I don’t know the K- 9 source code well enough to implement proper theme handling, but I know Android well enough to implement a nasty hack, which works well enough for my purposes. Unfortunately, the implement the hack, you need to be willing to build K-9 Mail from source. o ⚓ LWN ☛ Mastodon_4.5_released⠀⇛ Version_4.5 of the Mastodon decentralized social-media platform has been released.

The Avocado OS is backed by Peridio’s device management, update, security and maintenance features which enable robotics and embedded device manufacturers to take products to market without spending months on reworking and having to harden prototypes for production. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1152 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/07/Huawei_Launches_Homegrown_PCs_With_Custom_Processors_and_Linux_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/07/Huawei_Launches_Homegrown_PCs_With_Custom_Processors_and_Linux_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Huawei Launches Homegrown PCs With Custom Processors and Linux-Based OS⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 07, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Huawei_PC⦈_ Huawei is advancing its strategy for technology independence by introducing two new desktop computer models built entirely with Chinese components. The Qingyun line—featuring the W515y and W585y models—represents the company's latest effort to provide computing solutions free from foreign hardware. These systems integrate Huawei's Kirin 9000X chip with locally developed Linux software, instead of Microsoft Windows. Users can choose between UOS V20 from Tongxin or Galaxy Kylin V10. While details about the hardware are still emerging, the Kirin 9000X is an eight-core Arm-based chip with 16 threads, operating at 2.5 GHz. It could be a big.LITTLE deisgn, or a big-core only SoC. The desktops feature quad-channel LPDDR5x memory and support both flash storage and conventional hard drives.

Whenever I needed to access those heightened permissions, I would do one of two things: use the su command to switch to the root user, or log in to the desktop as the root user. Either way, I had to know the root password to do so. What I didn't know at the time was how wrong it was to do so.

I mean, why would I use it? It was big, it was scary, there were no installers to run or icons to double-click, and I had to type in what I wanted to do. And if I typed in the wrong thing, my Linux PC would explode and create a small cartoonish crater on my desk; at least, that's what it felt like. However, as I kept using Linux, I realised that it was less my enemy and more my friend. Yes, it was still a friend that would annihilate my operating system if I typed in the wrong thing, but it was still a friend nonetheless. Now, I really like using the terminal, and I default to it whenever I can.

But in most cases, doing computer vision implies understanding of the core algorithms, so you can use or adapt them for your own needs. I wanted to see how far I could go by stripping computer vision down to the bare minimum: only grayscale 8-bit images, no fancy data structures, plain old C, some byte arrays and a single header file. After all, an image is just a rectangle of numbers, right? * ⚓ Swift Programming Language ☛ Swift_on_FreeBSD_Preview⠀⇛ We have been hard at work to bring the Swift toolchain to FreeBSD. A preview Swift bundle for FreeBSD 14.3+ is available at https://download.swift.org/tmp-ci-nightly/development/ freebsd-14_ci_latest.tar.gz. The bundle contains a Swift development compiler and Swift runtimes needed for compiling Swift programs on, and for, FreeBSD 14 on x86_64 machines. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Robotic Systems LLC ☛ tview_python_console⠀⇛ The tview graphical monitoring application has been getting a lot of work lately. First was support for enumerating controllers by UUID, then monitoring faults and graphically highlighting them and then decoding textual values for fault codes. I’m excited to announce yet another improvement for tview, this one on the larger side: an interactive python REPL (read-evaluate-print- loop)! Available now in pypi moteus-gui v0.3.93. * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Faking_plotly’s_‘y_unified’_tooltip_in_ggiraph⠀⇛ We settled on ggiraph as our interactive visualisation package for a new Shiny dashboard. The goal was simple: capture the Y-axis value, grouped by the X-axis to display in a tooltip when a user hovers over an element. I’ve used plotly before, and it has a handy “y unified” argument that does this perfectly (see plotly reference). The hitch? ggiraph doesn’t offer that option. The Solution: This little snag is now sorted! I’m writing this blog post to solidify the lesson for myself and hopefully save others the headache if they run into the same problem. Let’s start with the setup. o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Dimension_reduction⠀⇛ According to Wikipedia, Uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP) "is a nonlinear dimensionality reduction technique". It will allow us to project many dimensions (well, only 3 in this example) onto a 2D plane. o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Graceful_Internet_Packages⠀⇛ Join us for our next Community Call, “Graceful Internet Packages,” featuring Matthias, Tan, and Salix. In this session, we’ll explore how to design and maintain R packages that interact with online data sources. Our speakers will share practical lessons, examples, and best practices to help R package developers create reliable packages. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Frank Delporte ☛ Links_from_the_JFall_talk_'Foreign_Function_& Memory_(FFM)_API_on_Raspberry_Pi'⠀⇛ The Foreign Function & Memory (FFM) API, finalized in Java 22, promised to make such integrations with native code a lot easier. With Java reaching a new Long Term Support version, it’s time to bump the Pi4J project to Java 25 and make full use of FFM! In this talk, you’ll learn how this FFM implementation is much easier to support and achieves high performance due to less memory copying and less interop code. It will also help improve the Pi4J project: fewer dependencies, a smaller JAR footprint, support for more protocols, and compatibility with more SoCs, among other benefits. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Rust Weekly Updates ☛ This_Week_In_Rust:_This_Week_in_Rust_624⠀⇛ Hello and welcome to another issue of This Week in Rust! ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1982 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/07/Programming_Smalltalk_and_Rust.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/07/Programming_Smalltalk_and_Rust.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming: Smalltalk and Rust⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 07, 2025 * ⚓ Noel Rappin ☛ Ruby_And_Its_Neighbors:_Smalltalk⠀⇛ Last_time,_we_talked_about_Perl_as_an_influence_on_Ruby, this time, we’ll talk about the other major influence on Ruby: Smalltalk. Smalltalk had a different kind of influence, since almost nothing of Smalltalk’s syntax made into Ruby. But many of the details of how objects work are directly inspired by Smalltalk, including the idea that every piece of data is part of the object system. Also unlike Perl, I spent a good couple of years working in Smalltalk, and it is one of my favorite languages that I’ll never likely use in anger again. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Niko_Matsakis:_Bikeshedding_`Handle`_and_other_follow-up thoughts⠀⇛ There have been two major sets of responses to my proposal for a Handle trait. The first is that the Handle trait seems useful but doesn’t over all the cases where one would like to be able to ergonomically clone things. The second is that the name doesn’t seem to fit with our Rust conventions for trait names, which emphasize short verbs over nouns. The TL;DR of my response is that (1) I agree, this is why I think we should work to make Clone ergonomic as well as Handle; and (2) I agree with that too, which is why I think we should find another name. At the moment I prefer Share, with Alias coming in second. o ⚓ Niko_Matsakis:_But_then_again...maybe_alias?⠀⇛ Hmm, as I re-read the post I literally just posted a few minutes ago, I got to thinking. Maybe the right name is indeed Alias, and not Share. The rationale is simple: alias can serve as both a noun and a verb. It hits that sweet spot of “common enough you know what it means, but weird enough that it can be Rust Jargon for something quite specific”. In the same way that we talk about “passing a clone of foo” we can talk about “passing an alias to foo” or an “alias of foo”. Food for thought! I’m going to try Alias on for size in future posts and see how it feels. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2055 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/07/Radxa_Cubie_A7Z_Single_Board_Computer_Running_Linux_Introductio.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/07/Radxa_Cubie_A7Z_Single_Board_Computer_Running_Linux_Introductio.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Radxa Cubie A7Z Single Board Computer Running Linux: Introduction to the Series⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Nov 07, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Radxa_Cubie_A7Z_Single_Board⦈_ Quoting: Radxa Cubie A7Z Single Board Computer Running Linux: Introduction to the Series - LinuxLinks — A bare board isn’t sufficient to get started. You’ll need system boot media and a power adapter. For the former, I used a good quality 128GB microSD card (class 10). While there’s an option to use onboard UFS (which is much quicker than a microSD card), my board doesn’t have onboard UFS. For the power supply I hooked up a standard 5.1V 5A USB-C power supply. But you can also use Radxa’s own PD 30W Power Adapter. You might also need to get a USB 3.0 to USB-C converter, as well as a micro HDMI to HDMI cable. At the time of writing, there are a couple of images available. The Debian 11 image provides the Radxa OS, an open source operating system developed by the Radxa team based on the Debian Linux distribution. Android 13 is also available. I wrote the Radxa OS to a microSD card using balenaEtcher (but you can use similar software). Download the image (radxa-cubie- a7z_bullseye_kde_b1.output_512.img.xz) from Radxa’s website and extract the image from the compressed archive with a file manager or from the command-line.

The digital department speaks of a milestone after a tour de force that involved the migration of over 40,000 mailboxes with a total of well over 100 million emails and calendar entries. From the State Chancellery and ministries to the judiciary and state police to other state authorities – Around 30,000 employees have now arrived in the world of free software. * ⚓ Nick Heer ☛ German_State_Completes_Migration_Away_From_Microsoft Exchange_and_Outlook⠀⇛ Alternatives like these might not be a good fit for some organizations, and I can imagine the expense and effort of a migration would dissuade many from even attempting it.

Tom's Hardware ☛ How_to_rip_your_DVDs_with_Handbrake_—_preserve_your DVD_library_before_bit_rot_claims_another_victim⠀⇛ The humble Digital Versatile Disc, DVD, has been with us since the 1990s, and while it may not offer the clarity of Blu-ray, it is cheap and plentiful. Go into any thrift store, dollar store, yard sale, or charity shop, and you will find a plethora of DVDs, often at bargain prices. In the age of streaming, where your favorite series or movie can move from one service to another, or even cease to exist, ripping DVDs is the best way to archive what you want to watch. Not what an algorithm thinks you want to watch. Backing up your DVD collection is also useful, given that “bit rot” — where the aluminum layer of the discs flakes away — is common in older discs. If your discs are not stored in a temperature-controlled environment (your loft/attic gets warm in the summer and cold in the winter) or you just happen to have a bad disc, your collection will disintegrate inside its cases. * ⚓ APNIC ☛ A_first_look_at_the_adoption_of_BGP-based_DDoS_scrubbing services:_A_five-year_longitudinal_analysis⠀⇛ An Autonomous System (AS) can protect itself against DDoS attacks by rerouting incoming DDoS traffic through a ‘DDoS scrubber’, a process that is typically implemented using the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). While BGP-based scrubbing is a useful service, its adoption on the global Internet is unknown. This lack of visibility hinders the ability to assess how effectively the Internet can mitigate large-scale DDoS attacks and maintain service availability for legitimate traffic. We therefore developed a methodology that sheds light on the adoption of the top five global BGP-based DDoS scrubbers from 2020 to 2024. This post is the summary of the paper we presented at the International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM’25). * ⚓ Johnny Decimal ☛ 22.00.0163_/tmp_is_bad⠀⇛ Beware of 'temporary' folders of any nature. Your Desktop and Downloads are temporary folders. Don't store things there. You'll lose them, or you'll be frustrated as you have to look for them. Doing the right thing takes an extra ten seconds. * ⚓ Herman Õunapuu ☛ The_day_IPv6_went_away⠀⇛ I take pride in hosting my blog on a 13-year old ThinkPad acting as a home server, but sometimes it’s kind of a pain. It’s only fair that I cover the downsides of this setup in contrast to all the positives. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ A_problem_for_downloading_things_with_curl⠀⇛ If curl is directed straight to the final URL, 'curl -O' alone is enough to get the right file name. However, if curl goes through a redirection, there seems to be no option that will cause it to re-evaluate the 'remote name' based on the new URL; the initial URL and the name derived from it sticks, and you get a file unhelpfully called 'tarball' (in this case). If you try to be clever by running the initial curl without -O but capturing any potential redirection with "-w '% {redirect_url}\n'" so you can manually follow it in a second curl command, this works (for one level of redirections) but leaves you with a zero-length file called 'tarball' from the first curl. * ⚓ Andy Bell ☛ Some_practical_examples_of_view_transitions_to_elevate_your UI⠀⇛ It is incredibly powerful, and one could write quite the book (or several) explaining all the features and intricacies. There is plenty of surface-level view transition content on the web, but today we’ll be getting hands-on with some examples. Thus, for the sake of brevity and in the Piccalilli way, I won’t be covering every nuance but instead covering some cases and applicable patterns that you can use to apply view transitions in the real world. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_LXQt_Desktop_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Debian 13 “Trixie” brings exciting improvements to the GNU/Linux ecosystem, and choosing the right desktop environment can significantly enhance your computing experience. LXQt stands out as an exceptional choice for users seeking a lightweight, modern, and highly efficient desktop environment that performs exceptionally well on both contemporary and aging hardware. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_SQLite_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ SQLite stands as one of the most widely deployed database engines in the world. Unlike traditional database management systems that require complex server setups, SQLite operates as a lightweight, self-contained SQL database engine. This makes it an excellent choice for developers, system administrators, and technology professionals working on Debian 13 systems. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Fwupd_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Keeping your GNU/Linux system’s firmware updated is essential for security, performance, and hardware compatibility. Firmware updates patch vulnerabilities, improve device stability, and ensure your hardware operates at its best. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_WoeUSB_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS⠀⇛ Creating bootable backdoored Windows USB drives on Ubuntu systems has become an essential skill for GNU/Linux users who need to install backdoored Windows on different machines or maintain dual-boot systems. WoeUSB emerges as the premier solution for this task, offering both graphical and command-line interfaces that make the process accessible to users at all skill levels. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3133 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/07/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/07/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 07, 2025 * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ The Cyber Show ☛ #054_|_S6_|_In_The_Chair_|_Train_Without_Pain: Craig_Taylor [Ed: The Cyber Show ☛ Direct_MP3_link]⠀⇛ Having the 'Cyber Thought Police' harass and humiliate your staff is counterproductive. Craig Taylor CEO of CyberHoot Security talks about humane behaviour-rewarding approaches to company cyber training. * § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ o ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Fix_“404_Not_Found”_Errors_in_Debian_During_apt- get_upgrade⠀⇛ Since Debian maintains strict release cycles, older versions eventually move from active mirrors to dedicated archive storage. When this happens, your existing repository configuration becomes outdated, and package manager operations fail. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ Hack_Week_Project_Aims_to_Rebuild_Classic Games⠀⇛ The project calls on participants to select an older game, analyze its data formats and underlying rules, and write a clean-room engine capable of running the original assets. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Web_Engineering:_Celebrating_Our_Third_Annual_Hack Week⠀⇛ The key goals of these events is allowing us to talk with confidence about the true open source nature of our work. We get the opportunity to addressing issues we’ve identified upstream in projects that we use to benefit ourselves and others. By dedicating time to these fixes, we not only improve the stability and performance of our foundational technologies but also empower our team to gain a deeper understanding of complex systems and our dependency tree.

That said, modern distributions tend to feature their own set of useless packages, especially once you go for Linux flavors that ship with pre-installed desktop environments. Take Ubuntu, for example. Sure, you could run it on aged systems that don’t meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11, but you might find several other GUI-heavy distributions that deliver better performance. Having spent my fair share of time with different versions of Ubuntu, I have to admit that the full-desktop variant may seem overly bloated for Linux veterans. But you don’t have to deal with the excess services just to tinker with this uber-popular Linux distribution.
