A simple Ethernet connection is enough to install and launch Ubuntu. * ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Canonical_and_AMI_Partner_to_Bring_Native_Ubuntu_Netbooting to_Aptio_V_Firmware⠀⇛ Canonical and AMI (American Megatrends, Inc.) announced today a partnership that brings a native “Ubuntu Cloud Installation” entry directly inside AMI’s Aptio V UEFI firmware. * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ The_$8.8_trillion_advantage:_how_open_source_software_reduces IT_costs ⠀⇛ This transformation is supported by academic research estimating that, without open source, companies would pay roughly 3.5 times more  to build the software running their businesses – an $8.8 trillion increase.[1]  ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 112 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/25/Databases_Autobase_2_5_0_qlite_utils_4_0a1_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/25/Databases_Autobase_2_5_0_qlite_utils_4_0a1_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Databases: Autobase 2.5.0, qlite-utils 4.0a1, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 25, 2025 * ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ Autobase_2.5.0_released⠀⇛ § Introducing Autobase 2.5 — Expert Mode brings advanced configuration right into the UI. With the release of Autobase version 2.0, we introduced the Console (UI) — a graphical interface that simplifies cluster deployment. Now, we’re adding Expert Mode, which unlocks advanced UI options tailored for experienced users who need greater control and flexibility. See the full list of changes in the release_notes § Expert Mode This mode reveals additional advanced settings that allow for precise cluster configuration, including: [...] * ⚓ Simon Willison ☛ sqlite-utils_4.0a1_has_several_(minor)_backwards incompatible_changes⠀⇛ sqlite-utils is two things in one package: a Python library for conveniently creating and manipulating SQLite databases and a CLI tool for working with them in the terminal. Almost every feature provided by the package is available via both of those surfaces. * ⚓ Tomasz Wisniewski ☛ Forgotten_art_of_file-based_"databases"⠀⇛ I bet that whenever you think of a simple database, you think of sqlite. There’s nothing wrong with that but the filesystem itself can be an even simpler substitute. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 172 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/25/Devices_Robotics_Raspberry_Pi_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/25/Devices_Robotics_Raspberry_Pi_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Devices: Robotics, Raspberry Pi, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 25, 2025 * ⚓ ROS Industrial ☛ Scan-N-Plan_Workshop_Documentation_Refresh⠀⇛ Scan-N-Plan technologies provide tools for real-time robot trajectory planning based on 3D scan data, addressing the limitations of traditional industrial robot programming methods like teach-pendant programming or offline simulation. This approach is ideal for applications where: [...] * ⚓ Igalia ☛ Juan_A._Suarez:_Major_Upgrades_to_the_Raspberry_Pi_GPU_Driver Stack_(XDC_2025_Recap)⠀⇛ XDC_2025 happened at the end of September, beginning of October this year, in Kuppelsaal, the historic TU_Wien building in Vienna. XDC, The X.Org Developer’s Conference, is truly the premier gathering for open-source graphics development. The atmosphere was, as always, highly collaborative and packed with experts across the entire stack. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Build_Yourself_A_Medium-Format_Camera⠀⇛ Medium format cameras have always been a step up from those built in the 35 mm format. By virtue of using a much larger film, they offer improved resolution and performance. If you want a medium format film camera, you can always hunt for some nice vintage gear. Or, you could build one from scratch — like the MRF2 from [IDENTIDEM.design.] * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Taradov’s_open-source_hardware_pocket_USB_sniffer_works with_Wireshark⠀⇛ Alex Taradov has designed a low-cost, open-source hardware USB sniffer compatible with the popular Wireshark packet capture utility, and also controllable from the command line, capturing data in the standard PcapNG format in either case. Wireshark has had built-in USB capture capability for many years, and I used it myself to reverse-engineer the software for a USB video capture card around 2007, but it’s not perfect since it does not capture low-level packets. For that, you need extra hardware, and last year we covered the tinysniffer USB sniffer based on a WiFi-connected GNU/Linux SBC. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Keebin’_With_Kristina:_The_One_With_The_Elegant_Macro_Pad⠀⇛ Some people are not merely satisfied with functionality, or even just good looks. These persnickety snoots (I am one of them) seek something elegant, a true marriage of form and function. * § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Kevin Boone ☛ Kevin_Boone:_De-bloating_and_de-Googling_an_Android device_using_Canta⠀⇛ Canta is an interesting, open-source Android app for disabling unwanted apps and services, when there’s no easy way to do this using the standard user interface. While Canta, and its supporting infrastructure, will work on a rooted handset, and there are certain advantages to using it this way, in this article I’m assuming that you can’t root, or don’t want to. I’m also assuming that you can’t, or don’t want to, install a custom firmware like LineageOS or GrapheneOS. Canta can’t (so far as I can see) do anything that you can’t do using the adb utility, but it’s potentially more convenient. Canta is the work, more-or-less single-handed, of Samo Hribar. The app and the website do solicit donations but, so far as I can tell, there is no sponsorship or advertising. So, while Canta isn’t perfect, it’s still an impressive achievement, and a public service. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 274 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/25/Fedora_Based_Ultramarine_43_Is_Now_Available_with_Pinebook_Pro_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/25/Fedora_Based_Ultramarine_43_Is_Now_Available_with_Pinebook_Pro_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Fedora-Based Ultramarine 43 Is Now Available with Pinebook Pro Support⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Nov 25, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Ultramarine_43⦈_ Highlights of Ultramarine 43 include a new theme called Orchis for the Xfce edition, the latest KDE Plasma 6.5 and GNOME 49 desktop environments for the KDE Plasma and GNOME editions, Pinebook Pro support, updated Raspberry Pi 4 images, and support for the CachyOS kernel as a tweak in umcli. This release also brings back the option to use RPMs instead of Flatpaks, and it’s the first Ultramarine release to provide a public preview for Readymade, which is recommended for full disk installs only, as an alternative to the Anaconda installer. Readymade is a simple frontend for systemd-repart.

Notably, the authors are both active as researchers in the social sciences, and strive to promote the use of computational text analysis as a research method. This is also why we double down on the feature to reconstruct the original texts to enable a more qualitative investigation and validation of results. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ archlog_-_view_and_track_changelogs_for_Arch_Linux_packages_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Currently, only official Arch packages are supported. AUR, Flatpak, and other sources are not supported. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ RTextTools_-_automatic_text_classification_via_supervised_learning_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ The package includes nine algorithms for ensemble classification (svm, slda, boosting, bagging, random forests, glmnet, decision trees, neural networks, maximum entropy), comprehensive analytics, and thorough documentation. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ kibit_-_static_code_analyzer_for_Clojure_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ kibit is currently in maintenance. It will receive bug fixes and support for new versions of Clojure, but there are no plans for major changes or additions to the core functionality.

The learning curve is quite steep and its usability is far from optimal. Is it even worth it to learn LaTeX? What kind of work can we realistically get done using it? Are there alternatives? When do we really need LaTeX? * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Surveillance_Giant_Google_Releases_its_New_Google_Sans Flex_Font_as_Open_Source⠀⇛ Surveillance Giant Google has made its ‘next generation brand typeface’, Google Sans Flex, available for download — under an open source license, which is welcome news. A modern sans serif font purpose-designed for use on screens and OSes, Google Sans Flex is a ground-up, multi-axis rebuild of the proprietary Google Sans font, by typographer David Berlow (of Font Bureau fame). * ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ Rochko_Steps_Down_as_CEO,_Leaving_Mastodon_Healthy⠀⇛ Eugene Rochko announced that he was stepping down, after spending over nine years as the CEO of Mastodon, the social networking platform that he started. While most people don’t like change, especially at a project that defied the odds by becoming a popular — and open — program that pretty much works without drama, the result of his stepping down should be more transition than shakeup. Until last week’s announcement, Rochko pretty much owned Mastodon, and ran it as something of a benevolent dictator. That doesn’t mean that others haven’t had an ownership role too, but in a complicated way. Unlike most other social destinations — X comes immediately to mind — Mastodon isn’t monolithic but is federated. That means that while users see a unified interface that’s not unlike X, it’s really a collection of independently run servers — called “instances,” which is where all user accounts are located. * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ Clayton Errington ☛ Static.Quest_review⠀⇛ A year of a new Webring, Static.Quest! Wow, time has flown by. A little over a year ago Benjamin was giving away a domain name, and I always had a great idea for this type of domain. He was able to transfer it to me, and I took my idea and made a great project out of it. o ⚓ [Old] Lesley Lai ☛ Self_hosting_comments_with_Comentario⠀⇛ For years, I used the cloud-hosted version of Commento. However, Commento had been unmaintained for a long time, and the $99 annual fee always feels too expensive. I’d been wanting to switch to something else for a while but never quite had the motivation. That changed this year when the cloud service start to fail sporadically, and I even thought I had lost all the past comments. I also happened to be redesigning my website around the same time, so it felt like a natural moment to make the switch. Compare to years ago, nowadays there are much more options for comments, but I settled with Comentario , a fork of Commento, as it is easy to migrate and has all the features that I already used. The only issue is that Comentario only supports self-hosting, which is something I don’t have experience with. * § GNU Projects⠀➾ o ⚓ GNU ☛ parallel_@_Savannah:_GNU_Parallel_20251122_('Mamdani') released_[stable]⠀⇛ GNU Parallel 20251122 ('Mamdani') has been released. It is available for download at: lbry://@GnuParallel:4 * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ Jim Nielsen ☛ My_Number_One_“Resource_Not_Found”⠀⇛ Why fix it? I have very little faith that the people who I want most to respect what’s in that file are not going to do so. So for now, I’m good serving a 404 for robots.txt. o ⚓ Dan Q ☛ SVGs_that_feel_like_GIFs⠀⇛ The moving image below is only 49Kb and has an incredibly high resolution. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 559 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/25/Games_Schrodinger_s_Cat_Burglar_TimeSplitters_Rewind_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/25/Games_Schrodinger_s_Cat_Burglar_TimeSplitters_Rewind_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Schrodinger's Cat Burglar, TimeSplitters Rewind, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 25, 2025 * ⚓ Schrodinger's_Cat_Burglar_is_an_adorable_looking_puzzle_game_| GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Schrodinger's Cat Burglar is a puzzle game with a cat that can be in two places at once, and that will no doubt confuse my brain. Not only does it look wonderful, but the developer added a Native Linux version of the game back in October to help improve it on Steam Deck too. They said that the newer Native build runs a lot smoother. * ⚓ Moonlighter_2:_The_Endless_Vault_enters_Early_Access_and_work_is ongoing_to_improve_it_on_Steam_Deck_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ While it's not quite Verified for Steam Deck just yet, Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault should be a reasonably good experience. It's rated Playable by Valve, with a note that some text is a bit too small. The developer has confirmed they plan to solve that as soon as possible too. * ⚓ Try_the_demo_for_Kinsfolk,_a_casual_emotional_adventure_about fatherhood_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Made in the spirit of the likes of Journey, Firewatch, What Remains of Edith Finch - Kinsfolk is a casual adventure about fatherhood. As the main character you embark on a journey to discover the meaning of family. Seems like a nice one if you're into slower-paced experiences. * ⚓ The_huge_fan-made_TimeSplitters_Rewind_is_out_now_in_Early_Access_| GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ It's splitting time? TimeSplitters Rewind has released for free and it should work just fine on Linux / SteamOS thanks to Proton. They said: "Sorry it's taken us so long. We've only been making the largest free content video game ever", that's a little…cheeky to say given some of the many other free games out there but okay. * ⚓ Palworld_publisher_picks_up_Vision_Quench,_a_co-op_dark_fantasy_looter shooter_set_in_a_consumer_goods_conglomerate_mega_dungeon_| GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Set in the underbelly of a consumer goods conglomerate mega dungeon, Vision Quench is now being published by Palword's Pocketpair Publishing. From WizMUD, this is their first game on Steam and it's going to release sometime in 2026. * ⚓ Igalia_detail_their_open_source_work_for_Valve's_Steam_Frame_and_Steam Machine_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ One of the great things about Valve's hardware is that it's not locked down, and they put a lot of money into open source for SteamOS (Linux).

What look like app icons are little stacks of stationery templates and double-clicking one creates a new piece of that kind of stationery. You drag it somewhere to store it, and then you can work on it. This also, almost as a byproduct, means no "save" and "load" dialog boxes. Those are commands for interacting with a program, and that's not how the Lisa was intended to work: the important things were documents, not the tools that created them. What paid for the R&D that went into the Lisa was the success of the Apple II range, which while a pioneering eight-bit micro, stuck closer to the conventions set by the minicomputers that came before it. To set it up, you inserted cards into slots, and then Apple II users had to learn about all sorts of concepts like what programs were and that you had to load them into memory and then, later, save data files from those programs onto media (cassette tapes or, for the wealthy, floppy diskettes). The same sort of concepts lay behind CP/M and then in turn MS-DOS. * § Kernel Space⠀➾ o ⚓ Vermaden ☛ ZFS_Boot_Environments_Explained⠀⇛ This article will not be a general ZFS explanation attempt – we will focus on ZFS Boot Environments only. There are a lot of misconceptions and misunderstandings when it comes to them – some people do now know what is inside and outside of ZFS BE – but even worse – some people do not understand them at all.

The issue was an edge case where starting two clients on the same machine resulted in the second one zombifying the first one. When the bug occurred there was no disconnection but the client could no longer move. Instead the screen would show an "indicator" looking like an unplugged Ethernet cable in the upper left corner. o ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ SteamVR_2.14_brings_fixes_for_a_Linux_memory leak,_a_Steam_Link_freeze_for_AMD_GPUs_and_more_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ The latest stable release of SteamVR is out now!

There are a lot of changes there that have been inactive for several years, with no apparent interest from anyone. To be precise, there are currently 358 commits waiting for review (note that Gerrit, unlike Github and other popular code review tools, works on a commit-by-commit basis, so each commit from a multiple-commit change is counted separately). The oldes tone has not seen any comments since 2018. Today, let’s have a look at some of these changes and see why they are stalled. Hopefully it will inspire someone to pick up the work and help finishing them up. o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ DragonFly BSD Digest ☛ Lazy_Reading_for_2025/11/23⠀⇛ No theme though a bit dark.

We've begun adopting routines that we had enjoyed for decades until the lock-downs in 2020. In Tux Machines, earlier this year I began publishing at least one original per day, sometimes even more than a dozen in a day. The Web site Tux Machines, traditionally a syndication hub with habitual reviews of distros, is going to have a lot more original_stories next year because originals add a lot of "value" to what already exists "out there".

But if you’ve just been picking up software you found lying around the place, you don’t have a relationship with the people who built it. Not really. You might think you do, but one could argue that what you actually have is a parasocial relationship with free software, not a reciprocal relationship based on mutual advantage. A lot of people have treated free software as a kind of naturally occurring resource, something that spontaneously happens in nature rather than as a product of directed human effort. Maintaining software takes work, and that work is done by people. People who might decide to do something different today, like changing the license, or selling their company, or letting someone else take over maintenance because they’re tired of the thankless toil, someone who inserts a back door into the code. * ⚓ Lesley Lai ☛ Fifty_Shades_of_OOP⠀⇛ The industry and the academy have used the term “object- oriented” to mean so many different things. One thing that makes conversations around OOP so unproductive is the lack of consensus on what OOP is. What is Object-Oriented Programming? Wikipedia defines it as “a programming paradigm based on the concept of objects.” This definition is unsatisfactory, as it requires a definition of an “object” and fails to encompass the disparate ways the term is used in the industry. There is also Alan Kay’s vision of OOP. However, the way most people use the term has drifted apart, and I don’t want to fall into essentialism or etymological fallacy by insisting on a “true” meaning. Instead, I think it is better to treat OOP as a mixed bag of interrelated ideas and examine them individually. Below, I will survey some ideas related to OOP and mention their pros and cons (in my subjective mind). * ⚓ Noel Rappin ☛ Ruby_And_Its_Neighbors:_Lisp⠀⇛ So, after writing two articles basically assuming what Ruby’s influence are, it occurred to me to check the_About_Ruby_page on_the_official_Ruby_site. It says this: Ruby is a language of careful balance. Its creator, Yukihiro “Matz”_Matsumoto, blended parts of his favorite languages (Perl, Smalltalk, Eiffel, Ada, and Lisp) to form a new language that balanced functional programming with imperative programming. * ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_RcppQuantuccia_0.1.3_on_CRAN: Micro_Maintenance⠀⇛ A minor release of RcppQuantuccia arrived on CRAN moments ago. RcppQuantuccia started from the Quantuccia header-only subset / variant of QuantLib which it brings it to R. This project validated the idea of making the calendaring functionality of QuantLib available in a more compact and standalone project – which we now do with qlcal which can be seen as a successor package to this earlier package. qlcal tracks QuantLib (releases) closely and provides approximately quarterly updates. Switching to using qlcal is generally recommended. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Rakulang ☛ 2025.47_Advent_Calling⠀⇛ We already have 9 days covered by 5 authors. Don’t miss out and reserve your slot now for the festive fun at the authors.md page. All it takes to get on the schedule is to make a quick PR with your name and your proposed festive post title(s). Beginner, Intermediate or Genius level – your call. It would be great to see some RakuAST related posts and unique Raku things such as Slangs and Grammars are always a lot of fun … plus would be cool to see something about SBOM, since no one wants the festivities ruined by hackers. * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Michaël ☛ Toponymy⠀⇛ Day 24 of 30DayMapChallenge: « Places and their names » (previously). BDTOPO is the most detailed topographic GIS database for France, made by IGN under a free licence. It includes names. It’s massive (40 GB) so take a break while downloading… * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Anton Zhiyanov ☛ Gist_of_Go:_Concurrency_testing⠀⇛ Testing concurrent programs is a lot like testing single- task programs. If the code is well-designed, you can test the state of a concurrent program with standard tools like channels, wait groups, and other abstractions built on top of them. But if you've made it so far, you know that concurrency is never that easy. In this chapter, we'll go over common testing problems and the solutions that Go offers. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1201 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/25/Red_Hat_and_Fedora_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/25/Red_Hat_and_Fedora_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat and Fedora Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 25, 2025 * ⚓ Timothée Ravier ☛ How_do_we_keep_apps_maintained_on_Flathub?_(or building_a_more_respectful_App_Store)⠀⇛ There have been a few discussions about what Flathub should do to push developers to maintain their apps on the latest versions of the published runtimes. But most of those lack important details around how this would actually happen. I will not discuss in this post the technical means that are already in place to help developers keep their dependencies up to date. See the Flathub_Safety:_A_Layered_Approach_from_Source_to_User blog post instead. * ⚓ GNOME ☛ Christian_Hergert:_Status_Week_47⠀⇛ ✐ Ptyxis⠀✐ Issue filed about highlight colors. Seems like a fine addition but again, I can’t write features for everyone so it will need a MR. Walk a user through changing shortcuts to get the behavior they want w/ ctrl+shift+page up/down. Find a bug along the way. Copy GNOME Terminal behavior for placement of open/copy links from the context menu. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Building_a_oversaturation_detector_with_iterative_error analysis⠀⇛ Sometimes mistakes are opportunities, and wasting half of your LLM performance benchmarking budget, as we discovered in part 1, was one heck of an opportunity. In part_2, we covered how we built the ideal metric to define success (the Soft-C-Index metric) and our augmented dataset. Now, we're finally ready to build the oversaturation detector (OSD) itself. The first time we tried to build our OSD was before we had our 4,506-run dataset, so we tried to model the oversaturation problem theoretically. We designed a complex, elegant algorithm based on our whiteboard assumptions. Once we had real data, our entire theoretical model broke. When put to the test, our "smart" modeled algorithm was one of the worst performers. It was time to throw the theory out and follow the data. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ External_IP_visibility_in_Red_Bait_Advanced_Cluster Security⠀⇛ Red_Hat_Advanced_Cluster_Security_for_Kubernetes 4.8 introduces several new capabilities, including external IP visibility. This feature empowers security teams to identify the exact external IP addresses deployments communicate with, enhancing their understanding of external and internal connections and validating network policies. This article provides an overview of how to get started with external IP visibility in Red Bait Advanced Cluster Security. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Unifying_multivendor_DPUs_in_Red_Hat_OpenShift⠀⇛ This new capability provides unified, vendor-agnostic support for different DPUs, all within a single cluster. This is the result of our focused, standards-based strategy. We began this journey by introducing tech preview support for the first DPU (the Intel IPU) in Red Hat OpenShift 4.19. By building on the open standards of the Open Programmable Infrastructure (OPI) project, our work for the 4.20 release has expanded this to include 2 additional DPUs: the Senao SX904 (Intel NetSec Accelerator) and the Marvell Octeon 10. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Is_your_organization_AI-ready?_3_tests_of_enterprise adaptability [Ed: IBM Red Hat is a festival of buzzwords]⠀⇛ AI is the ultimate stress test. The technology itself is not the greatest barrier—adopting and deploying AI exposes existing weaknesses in an organization's cultural, strategic, and technological foundations. Successfully implementing AI at scale demands building an enterprise that can continuously deliver value and seize opportunities when the ground is constantly shifting beneath you. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ The_new_era_of_customer_and_AI-driven_network investment [Ed: More buzzwords]⠀⇛ A new paradigm is emerging: Customer and AI-driven network investments. This paradigm is being realized as a TM Forum catalyst project to build an AI-driven platform for network investments. Imagine every customer's device acting as a real- time sensor for a service provider’s network. This is the promise of decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN), an approach that puts customer experience at the center of every network decision. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ From_maintenance_to_enablement:_Making_your_platform a_force‑multiplier⠀⇛ Who this is for: Platform, engineering, and risk leaders who need speed and safety, particularly in regulated environments.  * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_I_used_Red_Bait_Lightspeed_image_builder_to_create_CIS_ (and_more)_compliant_images⠀⇛ In my role as a Technical Marketing Manager at Red Hat, I take every opportunity I get to use our products and tools in the same way that we recommend a customer to use them.

TuxMachines.org is a big and growing hub for GNU/Linux and sometimes BSD news. TuxMachines.org saw the platform risen from underdog status to a "tech superpower" that powers most mobile phones, most servers, and so much more. TuxMachines.org is no longer just a Web site. It is also a Gemini_capsule and one that matters more over time. Gemini Protocol is already popular among geeks and TuxMachines.org is a site that targets geeks. So it is a perfect fit for us. Since Rianne is the main editor of TuxMachines.org (preceded by Susan, an American lady) there's also an element of animal rights activism. The logo of the site has long been birds (since Susan's days) and it'll never change. As we said last week, TuxMachines.org_is_very_much_hated_by_Microsofters and we see that as a badge of honour (sort of). When Susan ran the site it had a category called "M$" (with a dollar sign). We were never 'soft' on Microsoft. █ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⢯⣷⠿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⣠⠶⠖⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣾⠗⠥⢘⠋⢽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⣰⠿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢵⠁⠐⠀⠀⠈⢠⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣤⣤⣤⣄⡀⠀⣠⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠈⢁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠥⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⢘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⠀⠀⠀⠀⡔⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠂⠀⠀⢀⣖⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠟⢻⣿⣍⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣇⡄⠀⠀⠀⢨⣿⡿⠿⠻⠶⣿⣝⠟⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡩⡅⠄⠊⠉⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⣸⡿⠑⠂⠘⡵⡏⠁⠀⠀⠇⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⡧⠂⠀⠂⠄⠀⢠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⠀⠀⢠⡿⠀⠀⠀⢀⠅⠃⠀⠄⠀⢀⣿⣿⣟⡡⠮⢂⠀⠀⠈⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿ ⠏⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣾⡷⠂⢀⠠⠄⠀⠁⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣭⣥⡖⣀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠋⠙⠿⠿⢿⠽⣛⡛⠿⢿⣟⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⠿⣾⣿⣃⡀ ⠀⣠⡀⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣟⣣⠚⣠⢂⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣽⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⣛⣛⠻⢿⡉⠛⠩⠍⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠉⠛⠉⠉⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠛ ⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢸⣿⣿⣽⢷⢥⣳⣦⠀⣠⣾⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡾⠊⠙⣃⣀⣚⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡎⣿⣏⣵⣿⣿⣷⣧⣷⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠡⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⣿⣟⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠘⠀⠪⠴⠆⠀⢀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣽⣿⣿⢹⣿⢅⠋⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣳⡭⢹⡼⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠊⠉⠁⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠻⠃⠀⠮⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣽⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣍⣉⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⡀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢹⠜⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⠛⠉⠈⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⡔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣷⠎⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢿⡙⠟⠓⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠾⠂⣒⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡔⠀⠀⠈⠀⠠⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⢪⠁⠀⠉⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠴⠞⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠿⣯⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠨⠝⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠟⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⣥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠄⠀⢀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡻⠿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠟⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⡿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⡀⠀⠑⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⡿⠟⣿⡟⢻⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣞⣿⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⡀⢄⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1945 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/25/VERSA_Embedded_Platform_Features_Dual_Core_i_MX93_and_Ethos_mic.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/11/25/VERSA_Embedded_Platform_Features_Dual_Core_i_MX93_and_Ethos_mic.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ VERSA Embedded Platform Features Dual-Core i.MX93 and Ethos microNPU Support⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Nov 25, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇i.MX93_VERSA_SoM_Eva_Kit_Block_Diagram⦈_ Quoting: VERSA Embedded Platform Features Dual-Core i.MX93 and Ethos microNPU Support — Hardware features include 2GB of LPDDR4x memory and an 8GB eMMC device for nonvolatile storage.

Even the target of three seconds is lavish; most sites should be able to put up interactive content much sooner for nearly all users. And yet sites are ballooning with no limiting factor In April the median mobile page grew to be larger than a copy of DOOM, and the 75th percentile site is now larger than two copies of DOOM. The P90 site is more than 4.5x larger. All have doubled in the past decade. Put another way, the median mobile page is now 70 times larger than the total storage of the computer that landed men on the moon. This is a technical challenge, but also an ethical crisis. This blog continues to document the tragic consequences for those who most need the help technology can offer. The lies, half- truths, and excuses are, if anything, getting worse. * ⚓ Ben Werdmuller ☛ Of_the_web⠀⇛ "These days people use the term "web" to mean basically something you can view in a web browser. But that does not mean it is *of* the web." * ⚓ SANS ☛ Conflicts_between_URL_mapping_and_URL_based_access_control.⠀⇛ However, let's examine the underlying cause of this issue. For many applications, it makes sense to exempt certain URLs from authentication. For example, help pages, a password reset page, or a customer support contact page may need to be accessible even if the user is not logged in. * ⚓ Wikimedia ☛ Unifying_our_mobile_and_desktop_domains⠀⇛ How we achieved 20% faster mobile response times, improved SEO, and reduced infrastructure load. Until now, when you visited a wiki (like en.wikipedia.org), the server responded in one of two ways: a desktop page, or a redirect to the equivalent mobile URL (like en.m.wikipedia.org). This mobile URL in turn served the mobile version of the page from MediaWiki. Our servers have operated this way since 2011, when we deployed MobileFrontend. o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Firefox_Nightly:_Getting_Better_Every_Day_–_These_Weeks_in Firefox:_Issue_192⠀⇛ ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2087 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 21 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
