█▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Best Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Nov 24, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇NLP_Natural_Language_Processing⦈_ * ⚓ textTinyR_-_text_processing_for_small_or_big_data_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ The textTinyR package consists of text processing functions for small or big data files. The R package can be installed, in the following Operating Systems: Linux, Mac and Windows. However, there is one limitation : Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai or languages with ambiguous word boundaries are not supported. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Lotti_-_AI-powered_context_manager_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Lotti is a personal assistant that helps you capture, organize, and understand your work and life through AI-enhanced task management, audio recordings, and intelligent summaries—all while keeping your data entirely under your control. * ⚓ sentimentr_-_dictionary_based_sentiment_analysis_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ sentimentr is designed to quickly calculate text polarity sentiment in the English language at the sentence level and optionally aggregate by rows or grouping variable(s). sentimentr attempts to take into account valence shifters (i.e., negators, amplifiers (intensifiers), de-amplifiers (downtoners), and adversative conjunctions) while maintaining speed. Simply put, sentimentr is an augmented dictionary lookup. The next questions address why it matters. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ 9_Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Linux_Astrology_Software_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Astrology is a set of traditions, beliefs and systems which hold that there is a connection between the movement of heavenly bodies and events that take place on Earth such as human affairs, and personality. Astrologists use the position of the planets to try to predict future events, and to inform the psychological understanding of an individual’s psyche. Up until the 17th century astrology and astronomy were inextricably intertwined. However, it’s important to recognize that astronomy and astrology are two very different disciplines. Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects and is widely respected in the scientific community, whereas astrology is based on universal, timeless symbolism, it is often regarded as a pseudo-science, and thought of as an art. * ⚓ topicmodels_-_interface_to_LDA_and_CTM_models_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ topicmodels provides an interface to the C code for Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) models and Correlated Topics Models (CTM) and the C++ code for fitting LDA models using Gibbs sampling. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ eastwood_-_Clojure_lint_tool_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ This approach is not free of tradeoffs. The use case where it shines is in CI environments, where a matrix of JDKs and/or Clojure versions can be leveraged, and where linter performance is not as critical as in editors or CLIs. Eastwood’s main area of focus is spotting bugs (as opposed to, say, helping following coding conventions). Other tools can complement or partly overlap with Eastwood’s offering. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ tokenizers_-_R_package_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ tokenizers is an R package offers functions with a consistent interface to convert natural language text into tokens. It includes tokenizers for shingled n-grams, skip n-grams, words, word stems, sentences, paragraphs, characters, shingled characters, lines, Penn Treebank, and regular expressions, as well as functions for counting characters, words, and sentences, and a function for splitting longer texts into separate documents, each with the same number of words. The package is built on the stringi and Rcpp packages for fast yet correct tokenization in UTF-8. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Nova_Music_-_new_music_player_for_Linux_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Nova Music is a new music player written with the libcosmic toolkit, a GUI toolkit for creating COSMIC-themed applets and applications. But you don’t need to be running the COSMIC desktop environment. The elephant in the room? OK, Linux has tons of music players available with some excellent GUI and terminal clients available. Does the platform need another new entrant? Well many said that about fooyin, but that small acorn has grown into a mighty oak. * ⚓ OSMC_-_free_and_open_source_media_center_distribution_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Founded in 2014, OSMC lets you play back media from your local network, attached storage and the Internet. OSMC can play all major media formats out there and supports a variety of sharing protocols OSMC is based on the Debian distribution and the Kodi project. OSMC is not a fork of Kodi but rather a Linux distribution that ships Kodi as the main application. * ⚓ textclean_-_collection_of_tools_to_clean_and_normalize_text_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Tools are geared at checking for substrings that are not optimal for analysis and replacing or removing them (normalizing) with more analysis friendly substrings or extracting them into new variables. For example, emoticons are often used in text but not always easily handled by analysis algorithms. The replace_emoticon() function replaces emoticons with word equivalents. This is free and open source software. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣴⡶⢠⢤⢠⣴⣷⣿⠷⣦⣶⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢹⠉⡇⣿⠇⣀⣀⣸⣥⣽⣾⣷⠆⠀⠀⠀⠈⡋⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣤⣶⣤⣴⣿⡋⠀⠀⢴⡶⣿⣚⣹⣯⣬⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣬⣄⣤⢀⣿⢿⣿⣟⣯⣽⣿⠴⣿⠷⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠤⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠺⡿⠙⠛⠁⠋⠈⠁⠀⠈⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠛⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣴⣶⣤⣶⡆⡀⠶⠾⠾⠿⠿⠟⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣰⡗⠸⣿⣛⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⡿⡿⠿⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡍⠉⣡⣤⣤⠀⠠⢤⢤⣴⡦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⣠⣬⣽⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣯⣁⡀⣈⡈⠁⠿⢇⡀⣀⣠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⣾⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢹⠏⠛⠋⠁⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣶⡗⠒⣶⣿⣿⡶⢒⣒⣶⣶⣖⡆⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣤⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠉⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢭⣍⣷⣀⣀⣀⣠⡴⠋⣍⣩⡍⢉⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢀⣀⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣤⡝⣟⣉⣉⣹⣹⡀⠀⢉⠽⠀⠸⠇⠀⠀⠀⡧⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⢁⣨⣟⣛⣁⡀⠉⠉⠉⠙⠉⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡿⠿⠟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠻⠿⠟⠓⠲⠶⠦⠾⠶⣿⣴⣦⣴⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠉⠛⠻⠛⣿⡿⢿⠟⠻⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠈⠀⠗⠶⡦⡦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣟⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⡿⣿⣶⣦⣤⣤⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠻⠟⣿⣿⠇⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣟⢟⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 430 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/24/Corporate_Takeovers_Lead_to_Burnouts.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/24/Corporate_Takeovers_Lead_to_Burnouts.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Corporate Takeovers Lead to Burnouts⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 24, 2025, updated Nov 24, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Inflation_price_fall⦈_ When Hector Martin resigned from Asahi Linux he_said_he_had_suffered_burnout - a subject explored_last_week_in_relation_to_Free_software_projects. Quoting the original: "Burnout is an exhaustion of physical and mental energy, typically associated with work. Burnout leaves us feeling drained, that we have no fuel left in the tank, that we are running on fumes. When we are burnt out, it is hard to motivate ourselves, to control our emotions, or to think positively about our work." It seems to have happened to Jonathan Riddell, who months_ago_called_it_quits. In his own blog he said: "Then I started to get sad, being cut off from my life for the last 25 years was too much for me. All things come to an end and I’ve seen plenty people had to leave KDE because the money ran out or maybe they had a disagreement with someone in the project, but never a profiteering control struggle like this. I struggled to get out of bed on some days." So basically a large corporation, Valve (via TechPaladin), was sort of taking control of projects or teams he had long participated in. It was using its financial muscle (developed via DRM, which is what Steam basically is), just like GAFAM do. Free software stands to suffer if the rich and powerful take charge. Community- led, grassroots efforts are therefore imperative for the wellbeing and ongoing success of people, or the welfare of the systems those people develop. It's hard to tell what led Hector Martin to a fight with the leadership of Linux (he was fuming and acting stridently for years already); he won't be the last because large corporations and plutocrats will not resist the temptation to take over GNU/Linux as it grows and matures. █ ⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣏⡍⢻⢛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣴⡶⣖⣀⣠⣀⡀⠀⠈⣉⡉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⣯⢍⣽⡖⣠⢤⣾⢿⣿⣽⣲⣤⣤⣆⣩⠹⢛⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⣼⣿⠇⠈⢹⣿⠙⠷⠆⣼⣿⢿⣓⣖⡤⠄⢀⡾⣿⣿⠋⣰⣯⣿⣏⣈⠙⠛⠛⠻⣿⣷⢏⣵⣿⠻⣿⣯⣟⡧⠈⠉⣹⣿⣿⣿⢻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⣼⣿⣅⡀⣠⡟⠋⠉⠀⣼⡿⠧⠄⠉⠉⠁⢀⠞⣾⡿⢁⡼⣻⣟⣁⠀⠀⠤⠀⠐⣶⢿⣷⣿⠿⠿⠤⠈⠙⠛⠻⡆⣰⣿⣿⣿⣻⣺⠦⣇⣏⢹⢛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣾⣿⣿⡿⣱⣿⣿⣿⠆⣼⣿⣧⣤⣄⣀⣀⠠⢃⣼⢟⣼⢏⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⢘⣽⣿⣿⣶⣤⣀⠒⠦⠀⢳⣶⣻⣿⣿⠊⠛⠿⠿⠛⣱⣿⣭⣽⣲⡧⣧⣉⣹⣿⡟⡿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠿⠿⣳⣿⣿⣿⡏⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⣰⣾⢫⡾⣱⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡽⣻⣿⣿⠋⠉⢀⠀⠠⢤⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣬⣽⣗⣻⢼⢼⣏⡏⡟⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠁⢀⣿⠿⠛⠉⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⢈⡟⠁⢉⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡻⢛⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣧⣦⣬⣁⡀⣨⣿⣛⡿⣩⡹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣷⣯⣕⣿⣿⣿⣿⣁⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⢀⣮⠏⠀⠀⢀⣿⡟⠑⠒⠆⠀⠀⢠⠋⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣳⣶⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⠺⢋⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣥⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠙⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⣾⡟⠀⠀⠜⠂⠀⠐⠁⠀⣰⣿⠏⠀⠈⠉⣢⣾⡿⠛⠛⠽⣟⡫⡟⣠⣾⣿⣿⢟⣿⡿⠛⠛⠉⠙⠉⠉⠙⠛⢿⣿⡿⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠈⠆⠀⠀⠀⣼⡿⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⠃⠀⠀⠠⣾⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣾⠿⠛⢛⣳⣿⣿⡟⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠚⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢈⠗⠀⠀⠀⢺⡼⠃⠀⢀⣤⣾⡿⠋⢁⣠⣶⡿⠟⠉⢈⣿⣷⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠌⠀⠀⠀⣢⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠋⠀⢂⠐⠐⠋⢀⣠⣶⣿⠟⢋⣡⣶⣿⡿⠉⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⠟⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⡤⢠⡤⠀⣀⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⡶⠟⠋⢉⣠⣶⡿⢿⠟⠋⣠⣴⡄⢠⣾⣿⣏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠘⠾⣿⣤⣀⣉⠉⠉⠛⠓⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⡾⠟⠉⣠⣴⣾⡿⢟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠺⠿⠋⣰⣿⣿⡿⠃⣠⣶⣶⣤⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢉⣉⣉⠁⠙⠛⠒⢢⣤⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠊⠛⠁⠠⢶⣿⣿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⡿⠋⠁⠰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠋⠽⠾⢧⡠⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡤⠀⠀⠁⠀⢀⣠⣤⣖⢷⣤⠀⠙⠻⢻⣦⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⡛⠛⢿⢷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣷⣆⣀⣠⡤⣤⣤⡺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠮⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⣿⡿⢿⢶⣮⡹⠿⣮⠄⠌⠙⠟⠲⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣟⣁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠛⠻⠿⢿⣿⡫⣝⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠑⠱⣫⢟⡿⣦⣄⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢒⠠⠄⠠⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠁⣈⢇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢀⠀⠋⢞⡵⣫⢓⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣶⣬⡠⠔⠃⠂⠂⠌⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠆⡄⡈⠱⢣⢆⠀⠀⠈⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣴⣮⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠤⢴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣤⣤⣄⣀⡀⡀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠢⣄⡉⠚⢴⣦⣀⣀⠀⠈⠘⠻⠿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣶⠖⠦⠐⣦⣤⣤⣄⣀⣀⠀⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠋⠖⡄⠉⠻⢫⢞⡔⣰⢲⢤⣀⠁⠃⠿⢿⣿⢽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣱⡄⢀⣪⣿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠉⣁⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠄⡈⠘⠵⢣⢎⡜⡹⠢⣄⡀⣤⠽⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢏⠸⡿⣿⠟⢢⢽⢤⡤⡤⡤⣰⠂⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠐⠰⢡⢎⡝⡶⣦⣤⣀⠀⠈⠉⠁⢃⣿⣽⣸⣾⡆⡇⡇⢠⢨⢸⡄⡆⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠶⣍⡚⠼⣱⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣾⣿⣧⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣦⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 512 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/24/Databases_pg_ai_query_and_MariaDB_12_1.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/24/Databases_pg_ai_query_and_MariaDB_12_1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Databases: pg_ai_query and MariaDB 12.1⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 24, 2025 * ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ pg_ai_query_—_AI-powered_SQL_generation_&_query_analysis for_PostgreSQL⠀⇛ I am excited to announce the release of pg_ai_query — a PostgreSQL extension that brings AI-powered query development directly into Postgres. pg_ai_query allows you to: [...] * ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ MariaDB_12.1_Database_Arrives_with_Faster_Aria_Engine⠀⇛ MariaDB 12.1.2 (which is effectively the first stable 12.1 release to reach GA status, since 12.1.1 was an RC) is now available as the first update to the major 12.0 series for this popular open-source database, introducing a series of performance improvements and broader compatibility features.

What I found, however, wasn't a unified front, but a present-day civil war over standards. We need to talk about the state of OpenPGP because divergent standards threaten the very foundation of our digital security, risking fragmentation that could undermine trust and interoperability. For over two decades, the interoperability of encrypted email and file signing relied on a unified specification - RFC 4880 - which defined the "Version 4" (v4) key format. The "friend" we relied on has split into two personalities, and I'm deeply disappointed to report that they're no longer speaking to each other. * § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ o § Open Access/Content⠀➾ # ⚓ Society for Scholarly Publishing ☛ Guest_Post_—_Five_Years of_GetFTR:_A_discussion_with_Librarians_on_Access,_Integrity, and_Collaboration⠀⇛ Get Full Text Research (GetFTR) was launched in 2019 with a simple but important mission: to make it easier for researchers to move easily from discovery of academic content to full-text access.

So, you can imagine that I'm always watching the KDE blogs like a hawk to see what's coming next to my beloved environment.

That's not a great thing late in the release cycle like that, but it was a fairly trivial fix, and the cause wasn't some horrid bug, just a latent gotcha that happened to then bite a late VM fix. So while not great, it also doesn't make me worry about the state of 6.18. We're still on track for a final release next weekend unless some big new problem rears its ugly head. And rc7 is also a much smaller set of changes than what we had in rc6, which again makes me think we're in good shape. The changes here in rc7 look mostly normal: the usual driver updates (mainly gpu and networking), some architecture fixes (mainly loongarch, mips and arm64), core networking, and some tooling and documentation.

Dell Launches Qualcomm NPU Laptop on Linux Before Windows — Dell has a solid track record with Linux-powered OSes, particularly Ubuntu. The company has been shipping developer-focused laptops with Ubuntu pre-installed for years. Many of their devices come with compatible drivers working out of the box. Audio, Wi-Fi, Thunderbolt ports, and even fingerprint readers mostly work without hassle. My daily workhorse is a Dell laptop that hasn't had a driver-related issue for quite some time now.

The migration was a bit stressful, as there was a lot that could go wrong (DNS, files lost in transfer, compatibility problems and so on), and that reminded me of the stress associated with moving homes. Thankfully we've not moved homes in a very long time, well over a decade already. Hosting one's site locally is important, as noted here last_night. There are many pros and hardly any cons, yet many people get tricked or manipulated by hype. They're led to think they need "the cloud" because it is "cheaper" or "more reliable" (it is neither) and the so-called 'cloud' typically means Google, Amazon, and Microsoft (GAFAM). It's all about surveillance, if not at the "GAFAM layer", then the CDN (commonly Clownflare these days). Controlling one's hosting or having some form of "sovereignty" is extremely important. Many people don't realise this until there is downtime, data loss and so on. SUSE wrote about this days ago when an_executive_over_there_explained: "This will definitely be the case at this week’s Summit between the French and German governments, where digital sovereignty takes center stage. Now is the moment to collectively answer the question – how can Europe become sovereign? It will take time, but we are seeing some of the most powerful voices on the continent get involved now on this issue." █ ⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠀⠀ ⠀⡀⠀⠀⠂⠠⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⡠⠂⣤⠄⠀ ⠀⢧⡅⢀⠢⠤⣀⡈⠀⠂⠄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣶⣶⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣪⣴⠇⢡⠀⠀ ⠀⡀⡀⠀⠈⠉⠒⠯⢵⡒⠀⢁⡃⠀⢦⠀⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⢿⠗⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⢀⢜⣱⠟⠱⠫⢂⠀⠀ ⠀⠃⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠐⠚⠅⢐⡀⢋⣛⠶⢦⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⡤⠀⢰⣭⣄⡀⢀⣴⣵⠿⠁⢉⣤⣄⠁⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠐⠓⠻⢿⡂⢽⣛⡂⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣤⣤⡄⢠⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠁⠉⢀⡵⠈⠁⠀⠀⣼⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀ ⠉⠃⠒⠀⢣⠤⠅⣒⣒⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠄⠀⣿⡀⠈⠙⠛⠔⣇⢸⡽⡅⢸⣙⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠉⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⣋⣥⡆⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣍⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠒⠲⠤⠤⣘⢰⠿⡀⣿⠄⢡⣐⡌⠄⣀⢈⢃⠀⠸⣷⣿⣭⣿⣇⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠉⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠛⠻⡷⢖⣧⣥⢎⣙⣟⠼⢩⣬⠀⣹⢿⡽⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠤⠴⣾⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⢠⣠⠀⣀⡀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⡀⠀⠀⠶⢀⡀⠀⠉⢙⢻⢂⣺⣋⡇⢿⣿⢿⣾⣧⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣽⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⡄⢀⢀⢸⣇⠀⣀⣀⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⣀⡀⠀⢐⡀⠶⠀⠶⢠⡌⣥⣽⡳⢮⡲⡬⣐⠻⢿⣷⣺⣿⣇⣽⣟⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣾⣿⣸⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⠀⣸⡄⢸⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠸⠹⠁⠘⠓⠀⠛⠛⠓⠀⠿⠰⠂⠀⡐⠂⠒⠀⣤⢢⠍⠭⠭⠓⢥⡙⢮⡇⣯⣿⣷⣾⣯⣭⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⢠⢠⠆⠰⠦⠀⠶⣶⣦⠀⠶⠰⠦⠈⠙⢫⠒⠀⣤⢠⡄⢈⣴⡆⣠⣌⠢⡙⢮⡃⣿⣿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣸⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⢸⢸⡄⢠⡄⠀⣤⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠄⠸⠠⡆⠶⠀⠿⣸⣥⣟⣛⣃⠻⠿⣧⣄⠢⣙⠷⢿⣿⠧⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢤⣤⣠⠀⠠⣒⣒⣲⣶⣶⡄⠀⠤⠅⠈⠏⣆⢑⠒⣿⠿⣿⣛⣩⣧⢽⢷⣬⣟⡷⢤⣭⣿⣿⣟⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣾⣿⡏⢹⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢀⣿⠀⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠋⠹⠿⠀⠀⠒⠒⠂⠀⠀⠉⢁⡀⢀⠀⠸⠞⠙⣋⡉⣉⣥⣴⣶⣶⣾⣶⣦⣭⡟⣒⠲⢾⢼⡗⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣷⣌⠀⢼⣿⡇⠛⡷⣿⣿⣿⡇⠘⡿⢸⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠂⠀⣊⣉⣭⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⡽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡛⠂⠒⠂⣿⣿⣿⡇⠘⠻⠾⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣤⣤⣶⣦⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠋⢹⣿⣿⣿⡟⡷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣾⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⢿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣽⡿⢏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⣀⡀⠰⢿⡿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠨⢸⢹⣿⣿⡇⡃⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⢿⠻⢖⣩⡞⣻⡿⣻⣾⡿⠿⢟⣛⡂⡾⣿⣿⡻⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣲⡘⢿⠣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣾⣿⣿⣿⢙⡷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢀⣤⣾⠽⢻⣿⣧⡌⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⡿⡟⡍⠠⢀⣤⡳⣫⣿⡳⠯⠷⢖⣒⣚⣯⠍⣸⢿⠽⠿⠃⢸⠛⠛⠛⠻⢿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣻⣷⡧⢸⢸⣿⡿⢡⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⡿⣟⣻⢽⣷⣥⣾⠛⣫⣾⡹⠮⠯⣭⣍⣑⣒⣒⠒⢰⣏⠨⠭⠿⠁⠰⡀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠆⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡇⣿⣿⣿⠜⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⣯⣠⣾⠽⡷⡰⢸⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣿⣷⡿⠿⠫⠀⠈⢰⣾⠶⢞⣼⡿⢿⣬⠉⣟⣓⣓⣒⢶⠶⠤⢁⣿⢅⣉⣙⡂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⡿⣿⣶⣷⠿⣿⡯⠇⠽⡛⠁⠉⠁⠀⠁⠈⠉⣡⣓⠿⢉⣭⣾⡿⠟⠉⠀⠃⠠⢀⣎⣾⢞⣵⡿⢭⣤⣮⣤⣡⣏⣍⣉⠙⠛⠓⠂⣼⢗⠦⣴⣽⡜⠄⠤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣾⠅⣙⢵⠄⣠⣴⣶⣸⡛⡻⢉⠉⠉⣉⣴⣾⡿⠟⠉⠀⠀⢀⢀⣰⡚⢗⠗⣠⣾⠛⣷⣷⣆⣆⣢⣦⡟⠩⠍⣻⡻⠃⣸⡯⢹⠿⠮⢶⠆⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣷⠃⢇⡋⠝⠁⢀⣀⣬⣿⠟⢋⠁⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣾⡿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠐⠿⠈⣠⡾⠛⠉⠥⠂⠀⠀⠈⠉⠍⠙⠛⠛⠚⠊⢠⣿⠉⠔⣵⠰⠦⠉⠀⠀⠂⢠⣄⠄⢀⡁⠀⠁⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠁⢠⡤⠀⠀⣶⣶⡟⠃⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣾⡿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠀⠀⠀⣠⡾⠟⠁⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠚⠛⠻⠦⠔⠖⢄⠀⠀⣾⠯⢂⣠⣠⠀⠂⠐⡀⠄⠸⠞⠟⠯⠰⢄⠈⠡⠄⡂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣶⣿⣿⣺⡛⠸⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣾⣿⡿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠄⠄⠀⢀⣤⣾⠏⠈⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠐⠀⠂⠀⠀⣸⡿⠀⠈⠙⠋⠉⠀⠠⠸⣘⠰⠆⠈⠈⠉⠟⠂⡃⠊⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠭⠟⠉⢉⠀⠀⣀⣴⣾⣿⡿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣷⣿⡟⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⠑⠠⠐⠀⣔⢠⠁⠄⠤⠈⢢⠠⠂⠀⠀⢀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⡶⢎⣉⣦⣵⣿⡿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠐⠀⠂⢀⣴⣿⣟⢉⠙⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣏⢀⠠⠐⠒⡒⠀⢀⠰⠀⠇⠂⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1315 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/24/New_Raspberry_Pi_OS_Release_Supports_Setting_HiDPI_Scaling_Upda.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/24/New_Raspberry_Pi_OS_Release_Supports_Setting_HiDPI_Scaling_Upda.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ New Raspberry Pi OS Release Supports Setting HiDPI Scaling, Updates Labwc⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Nov 24, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Raspberry_Pi_OS⦈_ Still based on the Debian 13 “Trixie” operating system series and powered by the long-term supported Linux 6.12.47 kernel, the new Raspberry Pi OS release (2025-11-24) comes with Labwc 0.9.4 as the default Wayland compositor, updated Openbox window appearance to match Labwc, and the Alacarte menu editor.

I had only used it for about two years before upgrading to a different computer. Last week, I was looking for a Windows 10 replacement for my old computer and tried Linux Mint. That installation failed, as did every other Linux distribution I tried to install. I received cryptic errors like "No root file system is defined" or "The efi file system creation in partition #1 of SCS12 (0,0,0) (sdb) failed." For some, workarounds are available; others could be total hardware lockouts for Linux. It reminded me that for first-timers, this could easily feel similar to the challenges they face with Windows 11 hardware requirements. The errors may vary, as noted in the table below. To avoid such bottlenecks, you should note certain requirements when purchasing a laptop for Linux.

It’s very convenient for the occasional hacking electronics project. Still, I do a lot of soldering, and breathing those solder fumes in a closed space isn’t very healthy, especially during winter when the windows are all closed.

API security is no longer optional, it’s a fundamental requirement for protecting data, users, and business operations. * ⚓ Connor Tumbleson ☛ Helping_out_Open_Source⠀⇛ All in all any of those options incur an amount of tech debt. Does anyone really want their project to have a ton of dependencies all pointing to specific commits of random engineer's copies? In some situations maybe the dependency you depend on is so important to your project you have no choice but to fork it and support it. You can look back at the years prior and wonder - "If I needed this package so bad, why didn't I support this project?". These are all questions that eat at you for every single dependency choice. * ⚓ Ivan Sagalaev ☛ Pet_project_restart⠀⇛ So what happened was, I have developed my shopping list to the point where it got useful to me, after which I lost interest in working on it. You know, the usual story… It was however causing me enough annoyances to still want to get back to it eventually. So a few weeks ago, after not having done any programming for a year, I finally broke through the dread of launching my IDE again and started on slowly fixing the accumulated bitrot. And through the last several days I was on a blast implementing some really useful stuff and feeling the familiar thrill of being in the flow. * ⚓ Tomasz Wisniewski ☛ Experimenting_with_Robin_Hood_hashing⠀⇛ In general, collisions in hash tables are handled using either linear probing (meaning that the colliding element will be inserted in next available slot in the table if the one that it’s hashed to is already occupied) or element chaining, in which case, the elements with the same hash are just chained together into a linked list. Robin Hood hashing is a technique applied to implementations using linear probing that aims to minimise the probing sequence length to optimise lookups. So, based on that, it’s safe to assume it’s optimising read-heavy applications. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Improving_GCC_Buffer_Overflow_Detection_for_C_Flexible_Array Members_(Oracle)⠀⇛ The Oracle blog has a lengthy article on enhancements to GCC to help detect overflows of flexible array members (FAMs) in C programs. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Racket_9.0_released⠀⇛ The Racket programming language project has released Racket version 9.0.

The new version marks the most substantial change since the tool debuted five years ago, by introducing a redesigned interface, a guided setup wizard, and built-in support for configuring Raspberry Pi Connect before the first boot. Imager 2.0 reorganizes the entire workflow into a clear, step-by-step sequence. Each stage now occupies the full window, giving more room for explanations, validation messages, and contextual links. The new wizard guides users through selecting their device, choosing an operating system, picking a storage medium, configuring system settings, and writing the image.

Use Linux, BSD. — Something which stood out about my time with MX Linux was that, twice, people saw my computer's screen while I was running the distribution and asked why my system looked odd. I asked what they meant and they basically said, "You're a professional computer techie, but your system looks old. I thought you'd have something more modern." I explained to them that my operating system might not look modern, but it was new and I was enjoying it because it was practical. MX Linux may not look pretty and its icons are not using the latest fad in design, but it is incredibly fast, it's relatively light on resources (even for a desktop Linux distribution), it stays out of my way, the desktop is unusually responsive, and it has a collection of useful tools that handle almost any administrative function I want. My being a professional is exactly why I do not want my desktop to look flashy and pretty. I might end up looking at a screen 12 hours a day; I want the system to be responsive, not taking up my time with animations or burning my retinas with the colourful theme du jour. I want my system to be practical and easy to navigate, the exact theme and layout isn't all that important. I think that sums up my feelings about MX Linux. It feels like a distribution which has grown organically, created by a team of professionals for professionals. It's tech by techies, for techies. It doesn't use the latest packages, it has stable ones; it doesn't use cute themes, it uses efficient visual defaults; it doesn't have flashy notifications and step-by-step wizards, it has a toolbox of flexible utilities. The hardware support is great, the defaults are useful, massive software repositories are available, the system is pleasantly efficient. The documentation is available locally and contains useful information instead of hype and buzzwords. I don't think I encountered a bug or error during the entire week. For someone like me, someone who sits down in front of a computer to work, this is an ideal distribution.

Fransen ☛ Prosody_XMPP_server_in_the_home_lab⠀⇛ This is an article about a local server only, not reachable from the [Internet]. The differences with a XMPP server that is connected to the internet and does federation with other XMPP servers is in the infrastructure: TLS-certificates from an official CA, and official DNS records. When providing a XMPP server on the internet, security and privacy protection are very important. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ The_(early)_good_and_bad_parts_of_Polkit_for_a system_administrator⠀⇛ At a high level, Polkit is how a lot of things on modern Linux systems decide whether or not to let you do privileged operations. After looking into it a bit, I've wound up feeling that Polkit has both good and bad aspects from the perspective of a system administrator (especially a system administrator with multi-user Linux systems, where most of the people using them aren't supposed to have any special privileges). While I've used (desktop) Linuxes with Polkit for a while and relied on it for a certain amount of what I was doing, I've done so blindly, effectively as a normal person. This is the first I've looked at the details of Polkit, which is why I'm calling this my early reactions. * ⚓ Louis Merlin ☛ farphone⠀⇛ this webpage is hosted on a drawer-bound fairphone 2 from 2015, running postmarketos in this tutorial you will be guided through the steps taken to get there you will end up with a small home server, able to run basic services we aim to reduce e-waste, encourage reuse and give a second life to forgotten chips * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Angular_on_Rocky_GNU/Linux_10⠀⇛ Angular has emerged as one of the most powerful frontend frameworks for building dynamic, scalable web applications.

It can help rule out most hardware problems almost immediately. For example, if your PC crashes while gaming, you could be experiencing a problem with Windows, a driver error, or a hardware fault related to literally any of your PC's components. If you've tried updating your graphics drivers (the most common fix for a crash while gaming), booting into Linux on a USB drive and running some intensive application will immediately tell you if you have a hardware problem or a software issue. If the Linux USB crashes too, you almost certainly have a problem with your hardware, or potentially a BIOS issue. If the Linux USB runs without issue, you can be pretty sure that you have a software problem on Windows, usually with a driver or the operating system itself. You've instantly cut the number of potential problems you have to explore in half—or more.

It provides users with a fast and flexible way to install, update, remove, and manage software packages and repositories, giving you full control over your system’s software environment. Under the hood, Zypper works with RPM packages—the same package format used across many RPM-based Linux distributions. It relies on libzypp, a backend library that resolves dependencies, manages repositories, and handles transactions securely and efficiently. In this guide, I’ll show you, through practical Zypper commands and real-world examples, how to install new applications, keep your system up to date, search for packages, manage repositories, and more. By the end, I hope you’ll feel confident enough to manage your openSUSE system efficiently from the terminal.
