Aeryth_-_AppImage_to_Package_Converter_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Aeryth is a powerful shell script designed to convert .AppImage files into native distribution packages (.deb for Debian/ Ubuntu, and .pkg.tar.zst for Arch Linux). It can run in a fully interactive mode using dialog menus, or non-interactively via command-line arguments for automation and scripting. The script is designed to be cross-distribution compatible. When run on a non-target distribution (e.g., creating an Arch package on a Debian system), it will automatically set up a chroot environment to perform the build, ensuring maximum compatibility. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Feather_-_YouTube_Music_TUI_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Feather is a lightweight, efficient, and locally hosted YouTube Music TUI built with Rust. It is designed to provide a minimalistic yet powerful music streaming experience directly from YouTube, using yt-dlp and mpv. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ 11_Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Graphical_Volume_Mixers_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Instead of changing the overall system volume, this type of software lets you control the sound for specific programs, like turning down the volume for a game while keeping a internet radio streamer playing at its current level, or muting a browser tab without silencing everything. Here’s our verdict captured in a legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart. Only free and open source software is eligible for inclusion here. We only include graphical-based tools in this roundup. We will be shortly publishing a separate roundup for terminal-based volume mixers. * ⚓ netcheck_-_checks_network_connectivity_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ netcheck is a CLI tool to check network connectivity. netcheck is designed to be run periodically, saving results to files from which netcheck-plot can be used to create plots showing packet loss over time. By default netcheck is silent unless there is packet loss. This is convenient when run from cron. * ⚓ Prefixer_-_Proton_prefix_management_tool_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Prefixer is a tool for managing Steam Proton prefixes, seeking to replace protontricks with a friendlier interface, faster responses and modular approach. Prefixer was designed to be as user-friendly as possible, so it should be easy to get started. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Imagot_-_image_viewer_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Imagot is a basic graphical image viewer. It’s sort of an alternative to xnview/irfanview. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ boxunbox_-_simple_symlinker_inspired_by_stow_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ boxunbox is a simple symlinker inspired by stow. The developer write this software because he wanted to be able to control where each individual folder got linked and the way stow handles the .stowrc files isn’t very intuitive in his opinion. This is free and open source software. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠁⠈⢙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⣸⠛⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠉⠁⠀⠈⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢀⢛⣲⣶⡶⣾⣿⣖⡲⠀⠈⠉⠉⠛⠛⠿⣷⣶⣶⣇⠀⠀⢈⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢛⠀⢸⣿⢙⣿⣷⠸⣿⠛⣿⡦⠐⡢⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⣿⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠱⣿⣾⣿⣏⣹⣿⣟⣰⣿⣏⣹⣿⣾⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⡿⠙⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣀⣀⠀⣀⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠻⠿⠿⠛⡉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣴⣾⣷⣶⣶⣦⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢰⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢀⣀⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠂⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠃⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢰⣶⠀⠀⣠⣶⣶⠀⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠐⠀⠀⠐⠲⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⠄⣠⣾⣿⠟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⡟⠶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⠈⣉⣉⣉⣉⡉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡟⣤⣿⣿⣿⢸⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⡄⣿⣦⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠉⠉⠉⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡇⢿⣿⣟⣥⣾⢡⣶⣌⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⢣⡅⢸⣿⠇⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⡟⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠇⠘⣿⣿⣿⡟⠰⣦⡹⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⡈⠃⠈⢉⣁⢈⣋⣛⣛⣛⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠈⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣧⢰⡀⠉⠛⠛⠱⢷⡬⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠼⠃⠼⠟⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⠿⣃⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣤⣭⣭⣭⣭⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠻⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣴⣿⣿⣶⣤⣀⣀⣀⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 341 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/22/Enshittification_of_Arduino_Begins.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/22/Enshittification_of_Arduino_Begins.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Enshittification of Arduino Begins⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 22, 2025 * ⚓ Arduino ☛ The_Arduino_Terms_of_Service_and_Privacy_Policy_update: setting_the_record_straight⠀⇛ These latest changes are about clarity, compliance, and supporting the innovative environment you expect. Here’s what the updates actually cover: [...] * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Enshittification_of_Arduino_Begins?_Qualcomm_Starts Clamping_Down⠀⇛ When Qualcomm announced its acquisition of Arduino in October 2025, the tinkerer and maker community watched nervously. Large corporate acquisitions rarely end well for open platforms after all, and enshittification is something that often follows. And now, what's followed is unsettling. Adafruit Industries, makers of popular development boards and a respected voice in the open hardware space, have sounded the alarm. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 384 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/22/FreeBSD_15_on_desktop_and_FreeBSD_considering_end_of_ppc64_supp.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/22/FreeBSD_15_on_desktop_and_FreeBSD_considering_end_of_ppc64_supp.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ FreeBSD 15 on desktop and FreeBSD considering end of ppc64 support⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 22, 2025 * ⚓ Yorick Peterse ☛ Installing_FreeBSD_15_on_my_desktop⠀⇛ This week I've been working on a script and slides for a YouTube video about Inko. After a week of doing that I needed a bit of a break. Last week I wrote a bit about FreeBSD, and specifically about wanting to try it out on my yet to be delivered Framework 16 laptop. This got me thinking: why don't I try FreeBSD on my desktop first, then see if it's still worth trying out on a laptop? After all, my desktop has a spare SSD that I don't use much, so I could move its data elsewhere temporarily and install FreeBSD on this SSD, leaving my main system untouched. What follows is a sort of transcript (with some editing) of doing just that, a process that took a total of some three hours. Because I wrote most of this while actually performing the work, it may feel a little chaotic at times, but I hope it gives a bit of insight into the process. * ⚓ Talospace ☛ FreeBSD_considering_end_of_ppc64_support⠀⇛ FreeBSD is considering retiring powerpc64 prior to branching 16, which would make FreeBSD 15 the last stable version to support the architecture. (32-bit PowerPC is already dropped as of FreeBSD 14, though both OpenBSD and NetBSD generally serve this use case, and myself I have a Mac mini G4 running a custom NetBSD kernel with code from FreeBSD for automatic restart.) Although the message says "powerpc64 and powerpc64le" it later on only makes specific reference to the big-endian port, whereas both endiannesses appear on the FreeBSD platform page and on the download server. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 438 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/22/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/22/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free, Libre, and Open Source Software Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 22, 2025 * ⚓ Ryan Gibb ☛ Emacs⠀⇛ I realised that configuring Emacs to my liking would be like second job, which I didn’t have the bandwidth for, so I started using the ‘distribution’ Doom Emacs. It enables Vim bindings everywhere with Evil Mode which, coming from Vim, made it much easier to get up to speed. * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Servo (Linux Foundation) ☛ The_Servo_Blog:_Servo Sponsorship_Tiers⠀⇛ The Servo project is happy to announce the following new sponsorship tiers to encourage more donations to the project: [...] * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ The New Stack ☛ Thoughts_on_the_GigaOm_Radar_for_Vector_Databases v3⠀⇛ These platforms go beyond vector search by combining retrieval with integrated ranking pipelines, multimodal search, model inference and distributed execution. In scenarios where accuracy, latency and scale are mission- critical, this class of system is essential. Vespa is one example of this type of platform. o ⚓ Taylor Troesh ☛ How/Why_to_Sweep_Async_Tasks_Under_a_Postgres Table⠀⇛ I like slim and stupid servers, where each endpoint wraps a very dumb DB query. Dumb queries are fast. Fast queries make websites smooth and snappy. Keep those click/render loops sacred. Sweep complexity under a task table: [...] * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ Kev Quirk ☛ Adding_Comments_to_My_Jekyll_Site⠀⇛ I've been working on adding support for comments over the last few months. On a static site, that's hard, but it's finally done. * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ Matt Cool ☛ Hands_Free_Chinese_Flashcard_Maker⠀⇛ Twenty years ago, I was learning Chinese in a small village in central China, and every day I’d walk past signs, menus, and newspapers filled with characters I wanted to learn. But there was no easy way for me to capture them and turn them into study materials. So I’ve been building the tool I wish I had back then! ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 540 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/22/Games_Godot_Engine_Zork_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/22/Games_Godot_Engine_Zork_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Godot Engine, Zork, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 22, 2025 * ⚓ Godot Engine ☛ Godot_XR_update_-_November_2025⠀⇛ MOAT XR, XR game jam results, new features, OpenXR inventory * ⚓ Andrew Plotkin ☛ Zarf_Updates:_Zork_is_now_open_source⠀⇛ The three historicalsource repos on Github (Zork 1, Zork 2, Zork 3) all now have the MIT license attached. I'm not sure what else changes right away. As we all know, fans have be treating the Infocom source as a community playground for five years now. I certainly have. I think the biggest shift is that educators (teachers, museums, etc) can use the games openly. No paperwork or fuss or guilty photocopying behind the barn. * ⚓ [Old] Andrew Plotkin ☛ Zarf_Updates:_Microsoft_consumes_Activision;_and a_plea⠀⇛ So why am I digging this up? Aside from "history is interesting", which it is. Microsoft-the-company does not care about Infocom. But a lot of people in Microsoft must care. Microsoft is heavily populated by greying GenX nerds just like me. Folks who grew up with the first home computers and fondly remember the games of the early 1980s. To those nerds, I direct this request: It is time to do right by the memory of Infocom. It is time to let it go. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Commodore’s_Most_Popular_Computer_Gets_DOOM-style_Shooter⠀⇛ When people talk about the lack of a DOOM being the doom Commodore home computers, they aren’t talking about the C64, which was deep into obsolescence when demon-slaying suddenly became the minimal requirement for all computing devices.

If you missed it, Valve also released Proton 10 recently. * ⚓ Grab_a_free_copy_of_Warhammer:_Vermintide_2_for_a_limited_time_| GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is currently on a time-limited deal where you can grab a copy and keep it, so act fast if you want a free game. Earlier this year it also had an update to improve the anti-cheat on Linux too, so hopefully now you won't have too much trouble running it on Linux systems with Proton. * ⚓ The_Nightdive_Studios_enhanced_Quake_II_re-release_is_now_Steam_Deck Verified_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ With the latest minor update, the newer Quake II re-release that saw Nightdive Studios jump in to improve it is now Steam Deck Verified. * ⚓ The_multiverse_is_a_mess_so_you_and_friends_will_get_cleaning_in S.K.R.U.B._Squad_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ I do love how many more casual co-op games we're seeing lately, and it looks like S.K.R.U.B. Squad may be one to add to your list. You've done some power washing in the likes of PowerWash Simulator but what about cleaning up the whole multiverse? A messy job, but someone has to do it. * ⚓ Play_dice_against_the_guardian_of_the_underworld_in_Dice_of_Kalma_| GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Dice of Kalma challenges players to descend into the Underworld and face the Finnish god of death, Kalma, in a high-stakes game of luck and skill. Originally released on November 14th, the developer recently added Native Linux and macOS support to the game. Since release it has also gained a Positive rating on Steam. * ⚓ NodalBastion_is_a_delightful_mixture_of_tower_defense_and_incremental progression_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Taking inspiration from incremental games with a long progress tree to unlock, NodalBastion is a tower defense game that just keeps on going.

The coming Monday is another typical Coffee_Day and a fortnight from today we'll have a break in London, this time for leisurely purposes. Next month it's time for the birthday and for holidays, set aside a lot more feeding of the birds at the park (we'll get them another large sack of seeds on Monday). It's getting very cold here, we had sub-zero temperatures for two days in a row, and the birds are very hungry, sometimes even desperate for food (looking in places that haven't been used for feeding since June). Those are 'free- range' birds, not pets inside enclosures. They're wild birds and climate change must be really harsh on them. Until recently we had critically low water levels in Manchester; rainfall was below expectations and we suppose that some datacentres contribute to waste of water. The birds don't understand concepts like global warming, but they observe a scarcity of food. Remember to share food with wildlife. Animals aren't objects or "assets"; they're living things with feelings and desires. █ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣦⣖⣀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣍⢭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣵⣿⣥⣄⣈⡻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⢿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 782 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/22/GNU_Linux_Articles_by_Jack_Wallen_and_The_Register_MS.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/22/GNU_Linux_Articles_by_Jack_Wallen_and_The_Register_MS.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux Articles by Jack Wallen and The Register MS⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 22, 2025 * ⚓ ZDNet ☛ How_much_RAM_does_your_Linux_PC_need_in_2025?_A_distro verteran's_expert_advice⠀⇛ I'm not going to start this with a "back in the day" because it's too easy and obvious. Besides, it's time to live in the now, and today's rules and needs are not the same as they were 10, 20, or 30 years ago. Modern Linux is powerful, flexible, stable, and secure. With the exception of some of the more lightweight Linux distributions, it's also far more resource-dependent (just like all modern operating systems). * ⚓ ZDNet ☛ Can_a_Linux_laptop_really_replace_my_MacBook?_This_one_is surprisingly_close⠀⇛ I love a good laptop or desktop that comes pre-installed with Linux. It's even better when said hardware is equal parts beauty and power.

Mostly to understand the ELF format, the encoding of arm 32bit instructions, the execution of arm assembly and how it all fits together (this will help me with the JIT for my programming language I am currently designing). To fully understand everything: no dependencies. And of course Rust, since I already have enough C projects going on.

This obsession of mine isn’t just restricted to general-purpose distributions, either. Although I adore Proxmox over all else, I’m always on the lookout for new virtualization platforms and containerization environments for my home lab. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_use_this_free_backup_tool_with_my_Proxmox_and_PBS_instances, and_it's_a_game-changer⠀⇛ ESXi may have solid integration with Broadcom’s virtualization suite, but Proxmox isn’t far behind when it comes to first- party tools. Although it’s still in the early development stage, Proxmox Datacenter Manager is a solid utility for keeping an eye on multiple nodes and migrating virtual guests between them. And then there’s Proxmox Backup Server, which provides deduplication, compression, and easier recovery methods in addition to supporting remote syncs between PBS nodes. But what really sets the Proxmox ecosystem apart from the rest of the virtualization platforms is the sheer number of scripts, packages, and tools created by the PVE community. Take the Backup Proxmox PBS & PVE System Files repository by tis24dev, for example. It’s a powerful script that simplifies recovery by adding extra functionality to my Proxmox ecosystem – and it’s something I’ve configured on all my PVE (and even PBS) nodes. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Homelab_projects_to_try_this_weekend_(November_14-16)⠀⇛ Are you looking for some fun homelab projects to try this weekend? Look no further! Today, I’m telling you about three things I wish I had set up a long time ago. For starters, you should definitely virtualize your services. Having your different services hosted on virtual machines is more beneficial than you might think. Then, you should set up a VPN, and finally end the weekend by setting up your computers to back up to your NAS. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_always_change_these_5_Proxmox_settings_on_a_fresh_install⠀⇛ As someone who tinkers with home lab projects on a daily basis, I’ve seen the Proxmox setup screen so many times that it practically lives rent-free in my head. Failed networking projects, bootloader misadventures, cluster accidents, and incorrectly set-up permissions often end up with me reinstalling Proxmox from scratch. While there are ways to recover from them, starting from a clean slate is the easiest method – especially for nested server VM and experimental home lab devices. Then there’s all the cool home lab paraphernalia that I review from time to time, and Proxmox’s surprisingly low system requirements and FOSS nature make it the perfect platform to test new hardware. But no matter the reason, I always change these settings after wrapping up the installation sequence. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1044 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/22/HPLIP_3_25_8_Released_and_3_useful_Linux_apps_to_try_this_weeke.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/22/HPLIP_3_25_8_Released_and_3_useful_Linux_apps_to_try_this_weeke.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ HPLIP 3.25.8 Released and 3 useful Linux apps to try this weekend⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 22, 2025 * ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ HPLIP_3.25.8_Released_with_Few_Dozen_More_Printers Support⠀⇛ HPLIP, the free open-source GNU/Linux driver for HP inkjet and laser based printers, released new 3.25.8 version few days ago.

I've been scanning Linux discussions and repositories for open source apps, and I found a few this week that seem like they might be worth someone's time.

Linux just isn't properly adapted to have very natural interactions with touchscreens, and while Windows 11 is far from perfect, it's definitely better. But recently, I wondered: what if I could use Android in tablet mode and Linux in laptop mode? It would be the best of both worlds. And then I remembered a solution for that already exists: it's called Waydroid, and I decided to give it a fair shake. And as it turns out, this might just be the best way to use your 2-in-1 PC.

Double Commander has two panes always visible, making file management directional and less chaotic. On the left, I have my working directories; on the right, I have destinations—archives, assets, and backups. This simple setup eliminates the constant window switching of File Explorer. This Linux-like tool turns tasks that require retracing steps into a linear process. I now compare instantly, rather than hitting Back repeatedly or juggling overlapping windows. Instead of dragging files and dropping files in the wrong location, I press F5 to copy from an active pane into an inactive one. When I have to work with backups, sort photos, or reorganize sources, Double Commander’s dual-pane view gives me more focus. Even though File Explorer can mimic this with a bunch of tiled windows, it's not as effective. Dual panes are simply a more efficient way of thinking about files.

Containers, for one, can run on even the most dinosaur rigs – and that’s something I learned after turning a cheap laptop from 2014 into an LXC-hosting system earlier this year. Proxmox was the first name that popped into my head, but I shelved that idea for a few reasons. I’ve already got five bare-metal Proxmox workstations running my home lab, with two more nodes operating in nested setups (yeah, I like to work with crazy projects). PVE would’ve undoubtedly been useful for the laptop, but I wanted to try something different. Plus, I was planning to use my laptop as a troubleshooting hub – one that lets me access Linux tools directly, so I won’t have to make do with my Windows 11 PC or MacBook. This self-imposed restriction removed practically every containerization and virtualization platform from the equation. A minimal Linux distribution sounded like a good idea, and considering that DietPi works exceedingly well with SBCs of all shapes and sizes, I figured it would be the perfect option for my self-hosting/ troubleshooting hybrid.

Dear Codeberg e.V. members and supporters! It's time to share some news about what has happened in the past months around Codeberg. * ⚓ Sandor Dargo ☛ Time_in_C++:_Understanding_and_the_Concept_of_Clocks⠀⇛ As I’ve shared many times during the past eight years, the main goal of this blog is to document what I learn — hence this new series on clocks and time. In this first part, I’ll set the stage for the whole series, which is aimed at C++ developers who’ve used std::chrono but never really thought deeply about what a clock is. * ⚓ PHP ☛ PHP:_PHP_8.5_Release_Announcement⠀⇛ The pipe operator allows chaining function calls together without dealing with intermediary variables. This enables replacing many "nested calls" with a chain that can be read forwards, rather than inside-out. * ⚓ XKCD ☛ 2347:_Dependency⠀⇛ Technology architecture is often illustrated by a stack diagram, in which higher levels of rectangles indicate components that are dependent on components in lower levels. This is analogous to a physical tower of blocks, in which higher blocks rest on lower blocks. The stack in this cartoon bears a striking resemblance to a physical block tower, suggesting the danger that the tower will lose its balance when a critical piece is removed, in this case a piece near the bottom, labeled as being maintained by a single semi-anonymous person located somewhere relatively unimportant doing it for their own unknown reasons without fame or acknowledgement. The concept of balance is not intended to be communicated by a stack diagram, making this a humorously absurd extension of a well-known diagram style. * ⚓ Zypp_-_different_and_still_the_same⠀⇛ zypp makes sure that it not just randomly moves between repositories of different vendors. Vendors in this case can be the (open)SUSE base packages and different buildservice repositories. If you want to do it via zypper dup --from You get a lot of questions for “do you really want to change the vendor?”. * ⚓ Jakub Steiner ☛ 12_months_instead_of_12_minutes⠀⇛ Hey Kids! Other than raving about GNOME.org being a static HTML, there’s one more aspect I’d like to get back to in this writing exercise called a blog post. I’ve recently come across an apalling genAI website for a project I hold deerly so I thought I’d give a glimpse on how we used to do things in the olden days. It is probably not going to be done this way anymore in the enshittified timeline we ended up in. The two options available these days are — a quickly generated slop website or no website at all, because privately owned social control media is where it’s at. The wanna-be-catchy title of this post comes from the fact the website underwent numerous_iterations (iterations is the core principle of good design) spanning over a year before we introduced the redesign. * ⚓ Remi Collet ☛ Remi_Collet:_💎_PHP_version_8.5_is_released!⠀⇛ RC5 was GOLD, so version 8.5.0_GA was just released, at the planned date. A great thanks to Volker Dusch, Daniel Scherzer and Pierrick Charron, our Release Managers, to all developers who have contributed to this new, long-awaited version of PHP, and to all testers of the RC versions who have allowed us to deliver a good-quality version. * ⚓ LWN ☛ PHP_8.5.0_released⠀⇛ Version 8.5.0 of the PHP language has been released. Changes include a new "|>" operator that, for some reason, makes these two lines equivalent: [...] * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ My_Debugging_Python_talk_from_PyCon_Finland published⠀⇛ This past October, I spoke in PyCon Finland about debugging Python. Video of the talk has now been released in Plone’s Youtube channel. o ⚓ Rlang ☛ (ICYMI)_RPweave:_Unified_R_+_Python_+_LaTeX_System_using uv⠀⇛ If you juggle R, Python, and LaTeX for research, you know the pain: fragmented scripts, mixed environments, manual copying, and fragile reproducibility. I needed a setup/workflow that handles both languages, any LaTeX template, environment isolation, and a command- line–first workflow — so I assembled RPweave. Not a new idea, but a polished, modern take that just works. o ⚓ Brett Cannon ☛ The_varying_strictness_of_TypedDict⠀⇛ I was writing some code where I was using httpx.get() and its params parameter. I decided to use a TypedDict for the dictionary I was passing as the argument since it was for a REST API, where the potential keys were fully known. I then ran Pyrefly over my code and got an unexpected error about how "object" is not a subtype of "str". I had no object in my TypedDict, so I didn't understand what was going on. I tried Pyright and it also failed. I then tried ty and it passed! What?! I know ty takes a less strict approach to typing to support a more gradual approach, so I figured there was a strict typing thing I was doing wrong. I did some digging and I found out that a new feature of TypedDict solves the issue for me, and so I figured I would share what I learned. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Gunnar Morling ☛ Building_a_Durable_Execution_Engine_With SQLite⠀⇛ Now, at a high level, "durable execution" is nothing new. A scheduler running a batch job for moving purchase orders through their lifecycle? You could consider this a form of durable execution. Sending a Kafka message from one microservice to another and reacting to the response message in a callback? Also durable execution, if you squint a little. A workflow engine running a BPMN job? Implementing durable execution, before the term actually got popularized. All these approaches model multi-step business transactions—​making the logical flow of the overall transaction more or less explicit—​in a persistent way, ensuring that transactions progress safely and reliably and eventually complete. o ⚓ Niko_Matsakis:_Move_Expressions⠀⇛ This post explores another proposal in the space of ergonomic ref-counting that I am calling move expressions. To my mind, these are an alternative to explicit_capture_clauses, one that addresses many (but not all) of the goals from that design with improved ergonomics and readability. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ RustDesk_1.4.4_Released_with_Edge_Scrolling Support⠀⇛ RustDesk, the free open-source remote desktop application, release new 1.4.4 version few days ago. The new release of this Teamviewer or AnyDesk alternative app introduced edge scrolling support, when your app window is smaller than the remote screen size. Previously, it scrolls automatically when you move cursor around the screen. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ This_Week_In_Security:_Cloudflare_Wasn’t_DNS, BADAUDIO,_And_Not_A_Vuln⠀⇛ You may have noticed that large pieces of the Internet were down on Tuesday. It was a problem at Cloudflare, and for once, it wasn’t DNS. This time it was database management, combined with a safety limit that failed unsafe when exceeded. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1786 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/22/Quarkos_Ubuntu_based_Linux_distribution.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/22/Quarkos_Ubuntu_based_Linux_distribution.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Quarkos – Ubuntu-based Linux distribution⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Nov 22, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Quarkos⦈_ Quoting: Quarkos - Ubuntu-based Linux distribution - LinuxLinks — Quarkos is a user friendly, desktop oriented operating system based on Ubuntu Linux with KDE Plasma, optionally Trinity desktop environment, and an added value thanks to unique Q4OS tools integrated.

In fact, there were a few things I never had to worry about in Windows that became pretty important when using Linux, and the only way I learned that I wasn't paying attention to those elements was when it was far too late. But hey, that's just part of the learning process, and getting myself properly set up felt really good once I had some notches on my belt. That being said, there's no reason why you can't learn some of the basics now if you're planning to make the jump. So, here are some errors I made when swapping from Windows to Linux. o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ New_to_Linux?_Choosing_your_first_distro_is_easy with_this_list⠀⇛ Choosing your first Linux distro can be a daunting experience. Ask the community where you should start, and you’ll get ten different answers. If you know what to look for in a Linux distro, then you'll be able to choose on your own. The key is to do a little research and understand what actually matters when you’re starting. Your first Linux experience depends less on the distro's name and more on a handful of practical things I'm going to cover here. The truth is, not every Linux distribution is built with beginners in mind, and that’s perfectly okay. Each one has a different philosophy and audience. Let's explore these factors to help you identify a distro that not only works for you today, but also supports you long-term in your Linux journey. o § Compatibility or Packaging⠀➾ # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ The_Homebrew_package_manager_just_got_a_big update⠀⇛ It’s also supports Linux systems, though, which can be helpful for packages you want isolated from your primary system or other edge cases. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ The_new_Steam_Machine_looks_great,_but_there's one_big_problem_(and_it's_not_the_price)⠀⇛ Although it was pretty much only a rumor for the longest time, a new Steam Machine from Valve is now a cold hard fact. Valve announced its new SteamOS- powered gaming PC on the 12th of November 2025, and it looks like we're about to see another Steam Deck-level market disruption. § The Steam Machine is almost everything we hoped Valve had tried the Steam Machine concept years ago, but it failed for a few main reasons. For one, the hardware was too expensive and too underpowered, and Valve relied on third-party companies to make their own take on Steam Machines, based on reference specifications. Second, barely any games ran on that early version of SteamOS. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ These_open-source_DNS_tools_block_annoyances_and speed_up_your_browsing⠀⇛ Most people don’t think about DNS at all. I know I didn’t, at least not until I started running into those little internet headaches that never quite go away. You know the ones I'm talking about, pages that hang for a second before loading, apps that stall when they try to reach the internet, or smart home gadgets acting like they're waking up from a long nap. A lot of that slow, messy behavior can be traced back to DNS, the quiet system your devices rely upon to look up every site and service. When your ISP’s DNS is slow, unreliable, or quietly gathering more data than you realize, you'll likely feel it even if you're not sure why. Open-source DNS tools can help fix that. You do not need to be a networking expert to use them, and many people notice improvements right away. They can speed up lookups, improve privacy, reduce tracking, and help you get a clearer picture of what is actually leaving your network. Some tools even let you block junk domains before they ever reach your devices. Whether you want faster browsing, more control, or a cleaner and more reliable home network, these tools are worth exploring. Here are the ones that stand out. o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Why_open_source_isn’t_free_(and_never_was)⠀⇛ Open source software is a vital part of modern computing; it’s involved in much of the software we use every day. But is it too good to be true, and is it really free, in either sense of the word? § Open source software licensing First and foremost, open source licenses are about individual freedom. In contrast to closed—or proprietary—source programs, open source programs guarantee that you can view their source code, modify it, and redistribute it to others. The concept of open source goes back a long way, although the name is a bit more recent. In the early 70s, with the creation of the internet, software was often distributed among peers via Usenet and bulletin boards. As home computing took off in the 80s and 90s, a range of models developed, from pre-boxed, paid software to shareware, freeware, and public domain. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2013 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/22/Red_Hat_and_Fedora_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/22/Red_Hat_and_Fedora_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat and Fedora Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 22, 2025 * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Shaping_the_future_of_open_source_talent_in_APAC with_Red_Hat_Academy⠀⇛ As a Red Hat Technical Account Manager, I have had the privilege of engaging with students enrolled in Red Hat Academy across APAC through webinars, interactive sessions, and student mentorship. Along with virtual engagements, my recent visit to Republic Polytechnic, Singapore, offered a unique opportunity to connect with students in person. During this trip, I was able to see firsthand students applying their new knowledge of open source technologies, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, in workshops and projects. Witnessing these students’ curiosity, energy, and readiness to embrace challenges reinforced the tangible impact of the Red Hat Academy program in shaping industry-ready open source technologies talent in APAC. * ⚓ Fedora Project ☛ Fedora_Community_Blog:_Community_Update_–_Week_47⠀⇛ This is a report created by CLE_Team, which is a team containing community members working in various Fedora groups for example Infratructure, Release Engineering, Quality etc. This team is also moving forward some initiatives inside Fedora project. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Introduction_to_distributed_inference_with_llm-d⠀⇛ Distributed inference is changing how large language models (LLMs) are deployed, making it possible to run them efficiently across diverse and scalable infrastructure. This article explains how distributed inference evolved, the open source technologies that enable it, and how the llm-d project is shaping the next generation of intelligent, cluster-wide model serving. * ⚓ Hammerspace_Breaks_IO500_Barriers:_First_Standards-Based_Linux_+_NFS System_To_Achieve_True_HPC-Class_Performance⠀⇛ Hammerspace, the high-performance data platform for AI Anywhere, today announced a breakthrough IO500 10-Node Production result that establishes a new era for high- performance data infrastructure. For the first time, a fully standards-based architecture — standard Linux, the upstream NFSv4.2 client, and commodity NVMe flash — has delivered a 10- node Production fully reproducible IO500 result traditionally achievable only by proprietary parallel filesystems. This result is the first IO500 Production benchmark demonstrating indisputable proof that standards-based Linux and NFS can meet the extreme performance requirements of high- performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) workloads — without proprietary client software, specialized networking stacks or complex parallel filesystem infrastructure. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2094 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/22/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/22/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 22, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Kaspersky⦈_ * ⚓ XDA ☛ 5_reasons_Kaspersky_releasing_a_Linux_antivirus_product_worries me⠀⇛ It is not surprising that a major security vendor wants to tap into the growing Linux desktop market, especially as more people adopt Linux for both personal and professional use.

HowTo Geek ☛ How_I_turn_my_Linux_terminal_sessions_into_beautiful, compact_GIFs⠀⇛ Have you ever seen those GIFs that animate the command line and wondered how they look so good? Or seen a tiny GIF and wondered how they're so small? It's not as difficult as you may think, and I address both with two easy-to-use commands. VHS is a command to generate GIFs from a script file, and Gifsicle is a command to edit them. When used together, they can make highly compact and professional-looking GIFs. I cover what VHS is, how to use it, and how to compress the resulting GIF so that it's barely larger than a typical PNG file. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 4_advanced_git_commands_you_probably_haven’t_heard_of⠀⇛ Git is an enormous program, with nearly 200 sub-commands and countless options among them. You probably only use a handful, those reliable stalwarts like init, add, commit, and branch. But some commands go way further than the basics, and can radically improve your coding life if you get to know them. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ The_Linux_globbing_guide_every_command-line_user_should read⠀⇛ Globbing is like regular expressions for your filenames. Unfortunately, it’s often misunderstood, despite being an essential command-line skill that everyone knows at least something about. Turn that superficial knowledge into a better understanding. § What is globbing? “Globbing” is an informal version of the term “filename expansion.” Using special patterns, you can identify filenames based on patterns rather than exact literal matches. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 7_virtual_machine_mistakes_I_made_so_you_don’t_have_to⠀⇛ Almost all virtualization programs include guest additions—including VirtualBox. With guest additions, your virtualization host (so VirtualBox) will be able to better communicate with the virtualized operating system. These days, I use Proxmox for my virtualization, and installing guest additions for Proxmox allows me to see the IP address of the virtualized guest as well as have better communication from my host to the virtual machine. VirtualBox’s guest additions work in a very similar way, allowing your host (VirtualBox) to access parts of the guest (the virtual machine) that it otherwise couldn't access. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2831 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/22/today_s_howtos.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/22/today_s_howtos.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 22, 2025 * ⚓ Dan Langille ☛ Moving_a_zpool_to_smaller_drives_#ZFS_#FreeBSD_–_fails⠀⇛ This post is part of a series of storage-related posts. The goal: move the zroot of r730-01 to smaller drives. NOTE: This approach failed. Investigations continue, however this post is not something you should try. * ⚓ Adrian Roselli ☛ The_Value_of_Selecting_Selects_by_Value⠀⇛ This is meant to use voice control to test select menus (and other fields, but the title would be less weird) by their value because their accessible names are hidden.

This powerful, open-source cryptographic toolkit implements SSL and TLS protocols that protect data transmission between servers and clients. Whether securing web traffic, managing digital certificates, or encrypting sensitive information, OpenSSL remains an indispensable component of any Rocky GNU/Linux 10 system. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_SQLite_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ SQLite stands as one of the most widely deployed database engines in the world, powering countless applications from mobile devices to desktop software. This lightweight, self-contained database solution requires zero configuration and operates without a separate server process, making it an ideal choice for developers working on Fedora 43 systems. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Calibre_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Managing a digital library can be challenging without the right tools. Calibre is a comprehensive, open-source e- book management solution that transforms how you organize, convert, and read digital books on Fedora 43. This powerful application supports over 20 e-book formats, provides automated metadata management, and seamlessly syncs content to your favorite e-readers. * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Move_Between_the_Distros:_Back_Up_and_Restore_Your_Snap Packages⠀⇛ Make a backup of your Snap apps and application data and restore them to a new GNU/Linux system where Snap is supported.

If you have an existing Signal account, and try to change your primary device by backing up and restoring from backup, it looks to me like Signal will cause your long-term identity keys to be changed. This in turn causes your peers to see a message like "Your safety number with Alice has changed." These warning messages are the same messages that they would get if an adversary were to take over your account. So it's a good idea to minimize them when there isn't an account takeover — false alarms train people to ignore real alarms. You can avoid "safety number changed" warnings by using signal's "account transfer" process during setup, at least if you're transferring between two Android devices. However, my experience was that the transfer between two Android devices was very difficult to get to happen at all. I ran into many errors trying to do this, until I finally found a path that worked.
