During installation, it asks the user where they are on the globe, in order to set the timezone correctly on the installed system. Calamares displays the nearest timezone after you click on a map. I would like to leverage that a little for social good (or at least a tiny bit of awareness). The last time I wrote about the Calamares timezone selector, I also said it is terrible. One thing I do like about the timezone selector is that it supports translating the name of a timezone. That way, even though the string in the timezone database is Europe/Kiev – a relic of the time-period that the timezone database was conceived – it displays the correct Europe/Kyiv. That’s when you run Calamares in English, anyway. I added timezone translations to Calamares because a friend asked for it, and then did a couple of Dutch translations. That is because Dutch has exonyms (names in Dutch for other places) and calls Berlin, Berlijn and Paris, Parijs. There is a timezone Europa/Berlijn. The official Dutch name – last I checked – of Kyiv is Kiev, though.

Starting with this release, Fastfetch now executes commands in parallel by default, significantly improving performance when gathering system information. Users who encounter issues with specific scripts can disable this behavior by setting "parallel": false in their configuration file. In addition, filesystem and folder hiding operations have been moved to the detection stage. This prevents unnecessary probing of hidden entries, offering further speed improvements, especially on systems with large or complex directory structures.

A few days ago Firefox's 1.0 release turned 21. It was its likely_most meaningful_anniversary because there was no unambiguous start day and it wasn't always known as "Firefox" (there were prior names and projects). I had used Firefox since before its 1.0 release. I used it on S.u.S.E. (version 8.3 if I still recall correctly) and later on I installed it on more machines. I spent a lot of time advocating its adoption, both online and offline. Mozilla's management mostly managed to make Firefox and Thunderbird better in the early years, owing largely to extensions and themes (which I myself made as well). In more recent years Firefox was made gradually_worse, due to stupid policies of Mozilla and a generally bad direction. Mozilla thought the issue was its own logo and now it seems to believe that the logo of Firefox - the nice symbol that so many people (both young and old) recognise everywhere one goes - is the issue or part of the issue and therefore it needs to be replaced. That's on top of all the privacy issues, performance issues, lack of compatibility with "old" (but useful) extensions and so on. Mozilla seems to be the biggest_enemy of Firefox at this point. █ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉

source value flow model. We'll focus on the value types: Reputation and Influence. We'll cover how to measure and report on them. * ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ VLC_Project’s_Champion_Honored_with_European_SFS_Award in_Italy⠀⇛ VLC’s core developer and VideoLAN president, Jean-Baptiste Kempf, was awarded the European SFS Award this year at Italy’s premier free software conference. * ⚓ Collabora ☛ Font_recognition_reimagined_with_FasterViT-2⠀⇛ Collabora extended the AdobeVFR dataset and trained a FasterViT-2 font recognition model on millions of samples. The result is a state-of-the-art model for fine-grained font identification that can also be used for downstream tasks. * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ Shayon Mukherjee ☛ A_hypothetical_search_engine_on_S3_with Tantivy_and_warm_cache_on_NVMe⠀⇛ I’ve been curious about how far you can push object storage as a foundation for database-like systems. In previous posts, I explored moving JSON data from PostgreSQL to Parquet on S3 and building MVCC-style tables with constant-time deletes using S3’s conditional writes. These experiments showed that decoupling storage from compute unlocks interesting trade-offs while lowering costs and simpler operations in exchange for higher cold query latency. o ⚓ Peter Eisentraut ☛ Waiting_for_SQL:202y:_GROUP_BY_ALL⠀⇛ The SQL standard working group discussed this feature informally at the June 2025 meeting, and there was consensus about going forward with it. At the September 2025 meeting, a formal change proposal was brought forward and accepted. (So, technically, it’s just a working draft right now, and it won’t be final until the standard is released.) * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ WordPress ☛ WordPress_6.9_Release_Candidate_1⠀⇛ The first Release Candidate (“RC1”) for WordPress 6.9 is ready for download and testing! This version of the WordPress software is still under development. Please do not install, run, or test this version of WordPress on production or mission-critical websites. Instead, it’s recommended to evaluate RC1 on a test server and site. * § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ o § Open Data⠀➾ # ⚓ Light Blue Touchpaper ☛ A_decade_of_data_sharing: Celebrating_the_Cambridge_Cybercrime_Centre’s_10-year anniversary⠀⇛ In the past 10 years, the Centre has shared datasets with almost 500 academics across over 100 universities. Computer scientists, criminologists, sociologists, legal scholars, economists, and psychologists use our datasets to tackle critical questions about cybercrime, fraud, abuse, and online safety. To mark this occasion, incoming PhD student Hannah Pankow undertook a comprehensive 10-year review of our work, interviewing and surveying our licensees and analysing the papers that use our datasets. If you would like to learn more about this review, the report is now available. # ⚓ Rlang ☛ Evaluating_a_New_Job_Market_Data_Feed⠀⇛ I’ve recently been given early access to a service that provides data on job listings published by a wide range of companies. The dataset offers a near real-time view of hiring activity, broken down at the company level. This is a potentially valuable signal for tracking labour market trends, gauging corporate growth or powering job intelligence tools. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 775 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/12/Games_Side_Effects_Final_Sentence_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/12/Games_Side_Effects_Final_Sentence_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Side Effects, Final Sentence, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 12, 2025 * ⚓ Pill-popping_medical_horror_Side_Effects_from_Free_Lives_arrives November_21_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ I love the idea of Buckshot Roulette meets medical horror, so I'm keen to see what all the pill-popping fuss is about with Side Effects. We don't have long to wait, as it's been announced that it's arriving on November 21st for solo play and up to 4 people online together. * ⚓ Instead_of_racing_in_Backseat_Champions_you_manage_an_AI_driver_like_an auto-battling_racer_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Backseat Champions has a pretty clever idea, bringing the worlds of auto-battlers and roguelites to racing games with you managing an AI driver. You're not quite literally in the backseat but close enough. * ⚓ MangoHud_performance_overlay_for_Linux_gets_a_first_v0.8.2_release candidate_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ The popular MangoHud performance display for Linux has a new release coming that's now ready for testing, with v0.8.2-rc1 now up. It will include a bunch of bug fixes, along with a few new features and some new parameters you can use to display different things on your HUD. Be sure to check out my guide on how to use it. * ⚓ Final_Sentence_is_a_unique_horror_battle_royale_where_you're_all_on typewriters_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Type accurately and fast, as your life depends on it in Final Sentence. It's a unique blend of battle royale and horror with typing game mechanics. * ⚓ The_classic_Unreal_Tournament_gets_a_big_upgrade_with_the_v469e_patch from_OldUnreal_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ The team from OldUnreal have put up a rather big patch for the classic Unreal Tournament, bringing lots of improvements and fixes to the classic Epic shooter. * ⚓ Sentry_gets_improved_crash_reporting_for_games_running_via_Proton_/ Wine_on_SteamOS_/_Linux_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Sentry is a toolkit for game devs to monitor errors, performance and more and now it should work a lot better on Linux / SteamOS with Wine / Proton. While the Sentry developers discovered the issues on SteamOS due to games running on Steam Deck, their improvements apply to Linux as a whole for any compatibility layer based on Wine / Proton. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 855 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/12/GNU_Linux_and_Free_Software_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/12/GNU_Linux_and_Free_Software_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux and Free Software Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 12, 2025 * § Server⠀➾ o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 3_mistakes_I_made_when_I_first_started_using Docker⠀⇛ Are you beginning Docker and finding it a little overwhelming? The commands can be unwieldy, and best practices are not clearly spelled out. I have three things I wish I knew when starting Docker, which may help you. Large software projects like Docker often hide crucial best practices and warnings deep within technical documentation. Beginners face a deluge of technical details but few clear and concise guidelines to help them map out their learning path. When I started, I didn't understand how to manage multiple dependent services, handle complex commands, or the precise dangers of running containerized processes as root. If these crucial details had been clearly outlined, I could have saved a lot of time and avoided potentially costly mistakes. * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ The_third_decade_of_open_source:_New_rules_for_developers [Ed: All_Things_Open_is_Proprietary]⠀⇛ Nithya traces open source’s journey from Richard Stallman’s GPL license and Linus Torvalds’ kernel code to today’s reality where open source underpins everything from government services to electrical grids to banking systems. The second decade saw explosive growth as companies like Google and Netflix built massive infrastructure on open source, and even traditional enterprises began declaring themselves tech companies first. The United Nations now publishes its own open source principles, signaling just how fundamental this technology has become to global digital infrastructure. o ⚓ Linux_Matters_68:_Frameworks,_Filesystems_and_Fixes⠀⇛ Alan dusts off his newsletter, Martin encrypts his new Framework laptop, and Mark noodles with Moodle tools. * § Games⠀➾ o ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Former_Humble_Bundle_staff_launch_new_bundle_site Digiphile_to_"benefit_users,_creators,_publishers,_and_charity"_| GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Coming from veterans of Humble Bundle, a new bundle site has launched named Digiphile as the creators want to help you discover new games and support charity. They're calling the packs collections. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Homelab_projects_to_try_this_weekend_(November 7_-_9)⠀⇛ The weekend is here, and it’s time to continue on your self-hosting journey! This weekend, we're going to focus on getting some self-hosted cloud storage and media servers running in your homelab. § Run your own cloud storage One of the best parts of a homelab is owning your files and the storage where those files are stored. So, if you’re ready to ditch Google Drive or Dropbox, then hosting your own cloud storage server is a fantastic project to get up and running this weekend. I personally keep a Nextcloud instance running on my Unraid server (I set it up there a long time ago and just have never moved it), but you can run Nextcloud on just about anything. There are official images for Docker and virtual machines, as well as web installers, NextcloudPi, a Snap package, and more. Really, Nextcloud (or other services like Seafile) can run on basically any hardware you have lying around. With Nextcloud specifically, you’ll get a very Google Drive or Dropbox-like experience, with support for multiple users, web collaboration, sharing, and much more. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § FSFE⠀➾ # ⚓ FSFE ☛ 2025-11-07_[Older]_Jean-Baptiste_Kempf_receives_the European_SFS_Award_2025_at_SFSCON⠀⇛ # ⚓ FSFE ☛ 2025-11-06_[Older]_“They_are_not_alone_in_their_work for_software_freedom”⠀⇛ # ⚓ FSFE ☛ 2025-11-05_[Older]_Legal_Corner:_Apple’s “notarisation”_–_blocking_software_freedom_of_developers_and users [Ed: FSFE [sic] won't pick on Microsoft anymore; because it's a top sponsor]⠀⇛ o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # § Perl / Raku⠀➾ # ⚓ Perl ☛ 2025-11-07_[Older]_A_polymorphic_quine⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1009 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/12/GNU_Releases_News_unrtf_0_21_11_and_GNU_Health_Conference_2025_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/12/GNU_Releases_News_unrtf_0_21_11_and_GNU_Health_Conference_2025_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU Releases/News: unrtf 0.21.11 and GNU Health Conference 2025 Next Month⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 12, 2025 * ⚓ GNU ☛ unrtf_@_Savannah:_unrtf_0.21.11⠀⇛ unrtf 0.21.11 is released, fixing recently submitted security issues and a number of older bugs.

The cloud platform is being developed with a cloud- based, web-based work environment in mind, where all work is performed on a secure browser. This cloud-based work environment stores all data in cloud storage and utilizes web-based application services provided by the cloud, instead of traditional applications installed and run on user devices.

It does what I want, it's very stable, and I really like how it automatically keeps the last three OS versions, so you can use those if something breaks in the newest build. However, I also knew that Fedora comes in a few flavors, and I really wanted to try a different one on my laptop and see what it's like compared to my current workstation. This time, I really wanted to give Fedora Silverblue a try. It was mainly born from my desire to check out an immutable OS, as I've only used mutable ones in the past. And if you check out sources like Fedora Magazine and the current Fedora objectives, it seems that the foundation really wants Fedora to be an immutable system in the future. So, it's time to check out what the future holds for me with Fedora Silverblue and immutable systems as a whole.

This started with the Year of the Linux Desktop in 1999 that started with me purchasing a boxed copy of SuSE Linux and ended with me switching to Windows 2000. After this I continued tinkering with non-Windows OSes including QNX, BeOS, various BSDs, as well as Linux distributions that promised a ‘Windows-like’ desktop experience, such as Lindows. Now that Windows 2000’s proud legacy has seen itself reduced to a rusting wreck resting on cinderblocks on Microsoft’s dying front lawn, the quiet discomfort that many Windows users have felt since Windows 7 was forcefully End-Of-Life- d has only increased. With it comes the uncomfortable notion that Windows as a viable desktop OS may be nearing its demise. Yet where to from here? Although the recommendations from the peanut gallery seem to coalesce around Linux or Apple’s MacOS (formerly OS X), there are a few dissenting voices extolling the virtues of FreeBSD over both. There are definitely compelling reasons to pick FreeBSD over Linux, in addition to it being effectively MacOS’s cousin. Best of all is not having to deal with the Chaos Vortex that spawns whenever you dare to utter the question of ‘which Linux distro?’. Within the world of FreeBSD there is just FreeBSD, which makes for a remarkably coherent experience.

This release addresses CVE-2025-52881, a critical container escape and denial-of-service vulnerability stemming from arbitrary write gadgets and procfs write redirects. The flaw could potentially allow malicious containers to break isolation or disrupt host operations. A new key feature in this release is full support for TLS and mTLS encryption in the remote Podman client and API service. This means connections between clients and servers can now be authenticated and encrypted by certificates, offering a secure channel for remote container management.

An instruction’s effects vary wildly from having no effects at all, to writing a specific variable, to completely unknown (writing all state). This post can be thought of as a continuation of What I talk about when I talk about IRs, specifically the section talking about asking the right questions. When we talk about effects, we should ask the right questions: not what opcode is this? but instead what effects does this opcode have? Different compilers represent and track these effects differently. I’ve been thinking about how to represent these effects all year, so I have been doing some reading. In this post I will give some summaries of the landscape of approaches. Please feel free to suggest more. * ⚓ Andy Bell ☛ Programming_principles_for_self_taught_front-end developers⠀⇛ Like many front-end developers, I don’t have a formal computer science background. I rolled into this discipline as a designer wanting more control over the end product and though I did get a bachelors of ICT degree, the actual studies were, ahem, quite light in terms of “fundamental computer science”. This means all I know about capital-s Software Development, I learned as I went from various sources. If that’s you too, this article hopefully saves you a few years. * ⚓ Chris ☛ Advent_of_Code_on_the_Z-machine⠀⇛ Fantasy consoles like the Pico-8 are a great idea. A fantasy console provides a standardised and portable environment in which developers can explore ideas within creative constraints. The Z-machine, developed by Infocom in 1979, is the earliest fantasy console I know, although this is probably the first time it’s been called that. * ⚓ [Old] Mike Belousov ☛ How_I_learned_to_love_Zig's_diagnostic_pattern_| Mike_Belousov's_Website⠀⇛ So I tried to roll my own error union.

To know that, it collects execution events from the Python interpreter. CPython now has two mechanisms for this: trace functions and sys.monitoring. Coverage.py has two implementations of a trace function (in C and in Python), and an implementation of a sys.monitoring listener. These three components are the measurement cores, known as “ctrace”, “pytrace”, and “sysmon”. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1843 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/12/Red_Hat_Leftovers_Lots_of_Self_Promotional_Fluff.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/12/Red_Hat_Leftovers_Lots_of_Self_Promotional_Fluff.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat Leftovers (Lots of Self-Promotional Fluff)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 12, 2025 * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Introducing_the_external_secrets_operator_for_OpenShift⠀⇛ The external secrets operator (ESO) for Red_Hat_OpenShift is now generally available.

Across industries, organizations are rebalancing where data lives and how it moves. Security, governance and regional compliance now shape every infrastructure choice. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Prepare_for_a_post-quantum_future_with_RHEL_9.7 [Ed: Namedropping buzzwords and hype]⠀⇛ RHEL 9 was released in 2022 and was an important step forward from a security perspective. It was the first version of RHEL that received FIPS 140-3 certification, matching current security requirements. However, a lot has happened since 2022. Security requirements have changed, and the era of post-quantum cryptography has arrived. For the sake of performance and stability, these new cryptographic algorithms can't be backported to earlier versions of most software the way many organizations have come to expect. Upgrading software today to bring continued stability, functionality, and protection in the post-quantum era is a must, and RHEL 9.7 can be your first step. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ The_strategic_shift:_How_Ford_and_Emirates_NBD stopped_paying_the_complexity_tax_for_virtualization⠀⇛ The reality is that running two separate virtualization stacks creates silos, complexity, and unnecessary operational cost – what can be called the complexity tax. It slows down your operations and application teams, strains budgets, and ultimately makes it harder to deliver value to the business. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_OpenShift_4.20:_Expanded_Oracle_cloud infrastructure_support⠀⇛ OpenShift 4.20 introduces support for five new Oracle cloud infrastructure services: [...] * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_OpenShift_4.20_accelerates_virtualization and_enterprise_AI_innovation [Ed: Sold based on mindless buzzwords, because why the heck not?]⠀⇛ Available in self-managed or fully managed cloud service editions, OpenShift offers an application platform with a complete set of integrated tools and services for cloud-native, AI, virtual and traditional workloads alike.

These systems are vulnerable to attacks from large-scale quantum computers, however, which can solve the mathematical problems underlying these algorithms with alarming speed. This has given rise to attacks in which adversaries record encrypted traffic today to decrypt it in the future once they have access to a powerful quantum computer. The same challenge applies to data at rest if an adversary manages to make a copy now to decrypt later. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ KServe_joins_CNCF_as_an_incubating_project⠀⇛ This milestone validates KServe’s maturity, stability and role as the foundation for scalable, multi-framework model serving in production environments. By moving into the CNCF’s neutral governance, KServe’s development will be driven purely by community needs, accelerating its standardization for serving AI models on Kubernetes. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Create_efficient_two-node_edge_infrastructure_with Red_Hat_OpenShift_and_Portworx/Pure_Storage⠀⇛ The good news is that Red Hat OpenShift is evolving to meet this demand head-on. With the introduction of the two-node OpenShift with arbiter topology, Red Hat and partners like Portworx by Pure Storage are delivering a cost-efficient and resilient architecture designed specifically for the edge. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Bringing_intelligent,_efficient_routing_to_open source_AI_with_vLLM_Semantic_Router [Ed: Red Hat trying to advance BS to help IBM prop up share value]⠀⇛ Simply put, not all prompts require the same level of reasoning. If a user has a simple request, like, "What is the capital of North Carolina?" a multi-step reasoning process required for say, a financial projection, isn’t necessary. If organizations use heavyweight reasoning models for every request, the result is both costly and inefficient. This dilemma is what we call the challenge of implementing reasoning budgets, and it’s why Red Hat developed vLLM Semantic Router, an open source project that intelligently selects the best model for each task, optimizing cost and efficiency while maximizing ease of use. * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ What_a_Shame!_FlatHub_is_Ranking_on_Surveillance_Giant Google_for_Po*nHub_Downloads⠀⇛ And it's not Google's fault this time. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2023 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/12/Refreshing_Apache_XML_Infrastructure_and_Mozilla_s_Browser_s.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/12/Refreshing_Apache_XML_Infrastructure_and_Mozilla_s_Browser_s.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Refreshing Apache XML Infrastructure and Mozilla's Browser/s⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 12, 2025 ⚓ Adam Retter ☛ Refreshing_Apache_XML_Infrastructure⠀⇛ At my company (Evolved Binary) we recently had to address a series of bugs in Elemental that involved the Serialization and Deserialization of XDM (XQuery and XPath Data Model) values.

A key highlight in this version is the introduction of HTML fuzzy hashing, which enables the detection of structural similarity across HTML messages. This new mechanism enables fine-grained spam classification by comparing message structure in addition to raw content. Additionally, Rspamd’s fuzzy storage system has been upgraded with complete TCP protocol support, replacing the previous UDP-only model.

Even when things are running smoothly, I still want to know what's going on so I can prevent minor issues from turning into lack of connectivity, and that means lots of monitoring, testing, and poking at interfaces and appliances. Most of this I'll do from a Linux terminal, because it's just easier for me to keep the stack of network tools coherent. Most of my network hardware runs *nix variants, so I don't need to learn multiple versions of the same tools. But the even better plan is to have a single Linux distro that encompasses the networking tools I use most, plus hundreds of others, wrapped in a security-conscious package. I've been using Kali Linux as my home networking multi-tool since before it was called Kali, when it was called BackTrack, and it's been my go-to for all networking issues. It was created for penetration testing, which means it's got tons of network testing tools built in, and I can't be without it.

incident, diagnose the issue and fix it ultimately. * ⚓ RoseHosting ☛ How_to_install_Cloudpanel_on_Ubuntu_24.04⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we are going to show you how to install CloudPanel on Ubuntu 24.04 OS. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_automated_my_Proxmox_VM_deployment_with_Cloud-Init⠀⇛ Native support for LXCs is one of Proxmox’s biggest selling points, but there are situations where you’ll want the superior isolation provisions offered by virtual machines. While my self-hosted services run inside containers, I use VMs quite a lot in my PVE home lab. My Windows 11 and Arch Linux dev environments run inside virtual machines, and the same holds true for all the cool Linux and OpenBSD flavors I tinker with during my distro-hopping misadventures. That said, I often create disposable virtual machines for experiments, which get destroyed when I run into unrecoverable errors – or once I’ve finished documenting everything. Up until now, I’ve mostly relied on custom templates for my test VMs. But after encountering Cloud-Init, I’ve since switched to it when deploying expendable virtual machines. Sure, it has a couple of caveats, but it’s hands-down the most efficient option for CLI-heavy distros that require slight configuration tweaks before you can spin them up. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3051 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/12/today_s_howtos.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/12/today_s_howtos.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 12, 2025 * ⚓ PC World ☛ Stop_using_these_outdated_Linux_commands_before_they_cause problems⠀⇛ In this article, we present the most frequently encountered “deprecated“, i.e. obsolete, Linux commands. Many users are probably still familiar with them. However, for the reasons just mentioned, they are no longer up to date because they have unclosed security gaps, incomplete functions, or there are more efficient alternatives. Some of the old commands have already been removed from the current distributions. However, others are still included. * ⚓ David Bushell ☛ Reimagine_the_Date_Picker⠀⇛ It doesn’t have to be so complicated! * ⚓ Ana Rodrigues ☛ Talking_around_about_CSS:_The_final_act⠀⇛ I am back from Berlin after spending a few days last week at Beyond Tellerrand where I was a speaker! It was my first time attending as well. Before that, in September, I did the same talk in Freiburg at Smashing Conference. In both events I gave the talk that I worked on the first half of this year about modernising and maintaining CSS. Now that this is all done, I want to write out all my feelings. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Apache_NetBeans_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Apache NetBeans stands as one of the most powerful and versatile integrated development environments available for developers working with Java, PHP, C/C++, and web technologies. This free, open-source IDE provides comprehensive tools for building enterprise applications, web projects, and mobile solutions with exceptional efficiency. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Asterisk_on_Manjaro⠀⇛ Asterisk stands as one of the most powerful open-source communication platforms available today, offering comprehensive VoIP, PBX, and telephony solutions. Installing Asterisk on Manjaro GNU/Linux provides users with an excellent foundation for building robust communication systems. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_NTP_Server_and_Client_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Time synchronization stands as one of the most critical components of any modern GNU/Linux infrastructure. Accurate system time ensures proper logging, authentication mechanisms, database integrity, and coordinated operations across distributed systems. Without synchronized clocks, applications can malfunction, security certificates may fail, and troubleshooting becomes nearly impossible. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_GStreamer_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ GStreamer is a powerful, pipeline-based multimedia framework that enables developers and system administrators to handle complex audio and video processing tasks on GNU/Linux systems. Whether you’re building media playback applications, creating streaming solutions, or developing video editing software, installing GStreamer on Debian 13 provides the essential foundation for multimedia development. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Gradle_on_Linux_Mint_22⠀⇛ Gradle has become an essential build automation tool for modern software development, particularly for Java and Android projects. If you’re working with Linux Mint 22 and need to set up this powerful build system, you’ve come to the right place. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Fish_Shell_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ The command line interface remains the backbone of GNU/ Linux system administration and development workflows.

This distro is for you | ZDNET — I've seen many a Windows-themed Linux distribution come and go. I've also seen my fair share of Windows-like Linux distributions that were nothing more than malware, hiding as an operating system. And then there's FreeXP. FreeXP is a take on Q4OS, which is based on Debian. This desktop OS looks very much like Windows 10, but don't be fooled, this is Linux.

A couple of months ago, I wrote up a piece about my attempts to get some extra value out of an ancient, creaky laptop by switching it from Windows 11 to Linux. There were some hiccups – most notably, I’m still totally unable to get decent Wi-Fi speeds out of it, open to any suggestions on that score, comment below – but overall, the experience was decent, and it did show me a way to make the most out of technology purchases for as long as possible, even when big corporations have given up on the technology themselves, or it’s seen as “redundant”. Which got me to thinking: Can I apply the same logic to the other side of the operating system fence, by way of converting a Mac into a Linux machine? Is a Linux MacBook even a feasible thing?
