This is often said with a wry smile, as ed is notoriously user-unfriendly. Its default state is a blank line, it offers no prompt, and its only error message is a single, cryptic ?. But the secret, and the reason the joke has such staying power, is that it's fundamentally true. For early Unix, ed was the standard text editor. To this day, it remains a required component of the POSIX standard, meaning it's present on virtually every Unix-like system on earth. In an age of "over-engineered IDEs" and "kitchen sink" configurations, ed represents a different path. Its brutal simplicity isn't a flaw; it's a design philosophy. This deep dive will explore the power and elegance of ed. For the uninitiated, ed's a line-oriented and modal text editor. This means you don't see or edit a full screen of text. You operate, by default, on one line at a time using a precise set of commands. It's this command-driven nature that unlocks its true potential. To understand ed, one must be transported to August 1969 at AT&T Bell Labs. Ken Thompson, a co-author of Unix, was working on a PDP-7 and developed the three primordial elements of this new OS: the assembler, the editor, and the shell. That original editor was ed.

And Winter is indeed coming, atleast here in the North. Fedora 43 based images are now available Aurora-stable has today been updated and is now based on Fedora 43. Unfortunately this time the update took a little longer than we would have hoped, we had to wait for ZFS to get support for the new 6.17 kernel series. Unfortunately, the nvidia-open-dx version is facing some issues and we will try to get that specific image updated as soon as possible.[UPDATE: nvidia-open images are now available!] Fedora 43 is a “minor” update and doesn’t bring many big updates in itself but we have still done some backend work on the Aurora side. Changes are mostly uninvasive as KDE Plasma 6.5 has been here for a while already and just to make our source more light and easier to manage.

These products aren't typically talked about in the same breath as Linux at large, so FydeOS deserves the same treatment. It's Linux-based, but it's something all its own, too. FydeOS is a community project that brings Google's ChromeOS to all kinds of PCs. It's not like the official Chrome OS Flex, which kind of does the same thing, but lacks support for Android apps and has a somewhat annoying installer. Setting up ChromeOS Flex installation media requires a dedicated browser extension, and it makes it harder to use that flash drive for anything else, too. FydeOS works much more like Windows or a normal Linux distro in that sense, so it's already a great start. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_installed_Bazzite_on_my_PC,_and_it_has_me_reconsidering Windows⠀⇛ I spend most of my computing life inside macOS, and it remains the environment where I do almost all of my writing, communication, and everyday organization. My Windows PC fills a narrower but important role as the machine I turn to for gaming or for documenting workflows that need to be captured inside a Windows environment. That setup has worked for years, and I have rarely questioned it, mostly because neither macOS nor Linux has offered a gaming experience that feels reliable enough to replace Windows completely. When I installed Bazzite out of curiosity, I assumed it would be a fun experiment, but nothing that would shift how I divide my time between platforms. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_used_the_Arm_translation_layer_in_the_Steam_Frame_and_it's_got promise⠀⇛ Sure, the Steam Machine might be getting most of the attention, but the VR headset is neat. It's powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC, just like the Meta Quest range, so you might be thinking that it'll only be able to play your Steam library when plugged into a PC — but that's not the case at all. Valve has ported SteamOS to Arm, and uses an x86 translation layer to enable your Windows games to run on the non-native OS and architecture. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⡉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢉⡛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠄⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠒ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡄⠀⢠⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠤⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡙⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢰⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈ ⣿⣀⣸⣿⣷⣿⡿⠛⠋⢙⣿⠛⠃⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠛⢻⣿⡏⠁⠉⠀⠀⣤⡙⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢾⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠋⢸⣿⣧⠀⠀⡀⣀⠩⠁⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠛⠀⠈⣤⡤⠀⠠⠧⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠒⠀⣿⣿⣶⣿⣏⠀⠀⠉⢿⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠄⠀⠌⠏⢸⢂⢀⠠⣤⣈⣳⣂⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⢀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠜⠋⠀⠀⠈⠘⠉⠀⢷⣿⣿⢿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠘⠁⠀⢘⡂⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠃⠘⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠻⣯⣻⠉⠀⠀⠀⠲⠄⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣧⣠⣼⣶⣤⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣤⣤⣴⣾⡿⠿⠟⠛⢋⣽⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡏⠍⠳⢲⣶⣂⣀⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⠿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠌⠉⠉⠁⠒⠉⠁⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠟⡫ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠶⠶⠒⠒⠒⠛⠉⠉⠉ ⣷⣶⣶⣬⣁⣽⣿⣿⣦⣀⡉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣝⣉⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠤⠤⠒⠒⠒⠒⠂⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀ ⡿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠴⠶⢒⣒⣒⣛⠿⠭⠭⠭⠴⠷⠶⠒ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋ ⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠶⠖⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠤⢄⣀⢀⢤⢠⣤⣦⣦⣶⣶ ⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣒⣀⣀⣤⠭⣭⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣞⣿⣻⣽⣿⣾⣯⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 618 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/01/Empathy_in_Communities_Exploited_by_Malicious_Greedy_Selfish_Co.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/01/Empathy_in_Communities_Exploited_by_Malicious_Greedy_Selfish_Co.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Empathy in Communities, Exploited by Malicious, Greedy, Selfish Corporations⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 01, 2025, updated Dec 01, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Blue_sign_with_the_request_Choose_Kindness_on_an_office glass_facade.⦈_ So today The_Sick_Bird was hiding in one of the pots, then behind the bins, and various other places. As soon as the door opens she quietly walks towards us, asking for seeds without showing any signs of fear. Her fur (feathers rather) suggests she has thermal problems and health issues, maybe due to old age or the soaking rain taking away all the protective oil. Empathy and sympathy keep her fed by us every day, she always shows up late (after all the other birds already left). There's a metaphor here: The Free Software community (or FSM, with M for Movement). In a healthy community, people look after the weak. They moreover prioritise the weak, always. In fake (or bad) communities, sociopaths prey on or attack or bully or demonise the weak. They typically pick on the best or the kindest people, interpreting their kindness as a vulnerability. People with such traits cannot earn true friends and will never be able to keep a spouse even if they ever got one, somehow. So the Free Software community or Free Software Movement ought to identify such bullies and tell them where to go. No good will come by fostering sociopaths in the name of "inclusion"; they'd just drag everybody down, eventually destroying communities while claiming - falsely - that they did their best to "save" those communities (which they actively attacked, so it is a self-fulfilling prophecy and concern trolling). █ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠈⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⣋⣉⣩⣥ ⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⡿⠇⠀⠀⠘⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⡿⠿⠿⠟⠛⢛⣉⣉⣭⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⡀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣶⣾⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠛⣛⣋⣉⣭⡄⢠⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠉⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠈⠡⣴⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⢰⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠿⠿⢟⣛⣛⣩⣭⣥⣶⣶⣶⣇⣀⣠⣤⣤⣴⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠿⣶⣦⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠟⠟⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠽⠟⠛⠛⠋⠉⠁⠉⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡆⢸⣿⣿⣿⣻⠿⠻⠿⠙⠛⠹⠋⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⢿⣿ ⡷⠲⠏⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣄⣂⠀⠀⠀⠸⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣠⣤⣤⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉ ⠀⣀⣀⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢐⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠳⠆⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣴⡶⣶⣰⣿⣿⡖⣿⣿⣾⣿⣧⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⡍⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣯⣾⣿⣿⣿⠻⠷⠟⠈⠛⠋⠉⢙⣉⡈⣩⣥⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣦⣭⣼⣤⣧⣴⣶⣶⣶⣸⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣙⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣷⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠟⠃⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣹⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢹⣿⠟⠹⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠀⣤⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⠦⠀⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⡿⠿⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢶⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⢸⠟⣙⣻⣍⣽⣭⣧⠀⠀⠀⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⡗⠀⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣇⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣁⣛⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡆⢸⣿⣿⣿⡷⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠿⣿⣿⣿⡃⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⡿⢡⡄⠀⠀⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣂⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⣄⠀⢤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣏⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠘⠛⠋⠁⠘⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠯⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⡷⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣀⣀⡅⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠠⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣯⢅⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣤⣤⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⡀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡯⠋⣭⣿⠉⠉⠉⠛⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢨⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢀⢿⠃⠉⠿⠟⠟⠏⠉⠉⠉⠉⡅⠈⠉⠙⠛⠃⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⡀⠉⢉⠀⠀⠀⢹⣯⡗⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣦⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢀⠀⠂⠀⠢⠨⠌⠀⣟⠟⠇⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠶⠀⡀⣨⡅⠀⢁⣾⠇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣍⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣰⣶⣶⣧⣴⡂⠀⠀⠀⠃⠠⡇⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣹⣿⣿⡇⠄⢸⢾⡿⠀⠀⠀⣽⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠀⠈⠃⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⢻⣗⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣅⡇⠀⠀⢠⣴⣷⡦⠀⠀⠒⠲⠒⠒⠒⠒⠖⠂⠀⠉⠹⠁⠈⠉ ⣿⡿⠘⠇⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣯⠐⣾⣿⣯⣨⣬⣭⡁⠀⠠⠾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⡀⢹⠟⠈⠈⢃⣸⠿⠗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠈⠁⠸⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠉⠁⠀⠈⠀⠀⡀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⣿⠁⠀⠈⣉⣉⡁⠀⢀⢲⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⠯⠁⠀⠀⠁⠲⠀⣰⣄⣀⣀⣄⣄⠀⠁⠀⣀⣀⣻⣿⣟⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠰⠶⠿⠿⠶⠀⠀⠈⢸⠛⡿⡛⠛⠛⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠚⠛⠛⢛⠛⡛⠋⠉⠙⠿⠻⢟⠉⡏⢉⣹⣟⠀⠀⢠⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 695 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/01/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/01/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 01, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇NLP_Natural_Language_Processing⦈_ * ⚓ text_-_R-package_for_analyzing_natural_language_with_transformers-based large_language_models_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ text is an R package for analyzing natural language with transformers-based large language models.

I'm incapable of starting a post without some kind of disclaimer so here comes the one for this post: naturally the two products have major differences in terms of flexibility (spin-up/down at will, vs pay a small setup fee and endure a wait time depending on hardware availability). So depending on your use case, your requirements with respect to that flexibility may override any cost differential. * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ Terence Eden ☛ A_big_list_of_things_I_disable_in_WordPress⠀⇛ There are many things I like about the WordPress blogging software, and many things I find irritating. The most annoying aspect is that WordPress insists that its way is the best and there shall be no deviance. That means a lot of forced cruft being injected into my site. Headers that bloat my page size, Gutenberg stuff I've no use for, and ridiculous editorial decisions. To double-down on the annoyance, there's no simple way to turn them off. In part, that is due to the "WordPress Philosophy": [...] o ⚓ Matthew Weber ☛ Static_Site_Generators⠀⇛ So, I use Hugo for this site. And I used 11ty for TLC for a long while before moving that to Hugo as well. I’m pretty good with Hugo but I will admit that they can be complicated to set up.

Coming from an academic and research background rather than network operations, I joined the Fellowship to understand how Internet number resource (INR) policies are shaped, and how these decisions influence the broader Internet ecosystem. o ⚓ Jacob Nowosad ☛ R_for_Geospatial_Predictive_Mapping:_Takeaways from_the_Talk_–_Thinking_in_spatial_patterns⠀⇛ Geospatial predictive mapping is a common task across many domains, aiming to produce continuous surfaces from point observations and spatial predictors. There are many algorithms available to perform this task, ranging from simple interpolation methods to complex machine learning models, and a variety of R packages implement these methods. Thus, producing a map from points is easy, but understanding how reliable that map is is much harder. * § FSF / Software Freedom⠀➾ o ⚓ Michael Gale ☛ The_"does_not_use"_page⠀⇛ I guess this is the opposite of a uses page. This is a list of things I do not use, on principle1. I will talk about alternatives where it is of interest to do so or where elaborating might provide a little insight as to what went wrong - in my mind - for said product or service. * § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ o ⚓ Evan Hahn ☛ Draft:_Stopping_bad_guys_from_using_my_open_source project_(feedback_wanted)⠀⇛ Frustratingly, this was a semi-private draft that got posted to Hacker News before I could make edits. I’m leaving the post up as is because it’s already been discussed in this format. But it has a lot of issues. In short: I maintain a sorta-popular open source package, and I want to prevent big corporations and “bad guys” from using it. I want feedback on how to do this. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1155 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/01/Fwupd_2_0_18_Linux_Firmware_Updater_Adds_Support_for_Lenovo_Leg.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/01/Fwupd_2_0_18_Linux_Firmware_Updater_Adds_Support_for_Lenovo_Leg.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Fwupd 2.0.18 Linux Firmware Updater Adds Support for Lenovo Legion Go 2⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Dec 01, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇fwupd⦈_ As expected, the fwupd 2.0.18 release adds support for several new devices, including the Lenovo Legion Go 2 gaming handheld as a HID device, the HP Portable USB-C 4K HDMI hub, as well as the Synaptics HapticsPad.

It’s branded with the Xbox mark everywhere (actually mostly for marketing purposes) and it comes with an unusual gamepad-like shape. There are two versions, and we were lent both of them by ASUS for our review. There’s the white one and the black one, and they have different specs, the black one being the most powerful one, and gets a “X” suffix in the name. So you might wonder, why are we reviewing a Windows-based handheld? There’s two reasons. First it’s important to be aware of what the competition actually does, and even more so since this console is released with an improved, customized Xbox experience instead of the regular backdoored Windows 11 desktop. Second, it was an opportunity to install Bazzite on that new piece of hardware, and see how things work and how they perform. But first, let’s start at the beginning, and see what this hardware brings on the table. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1278 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/01/GNU_Linux_Libre_6_18_Kernel_Released_for_Software_Freedom_Lover.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/01/GNU_Linux_Libre_6_18_Kernel_Released_for_Software_Freedom_Lover.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU Linux-Libre 6.18 Kernel Released for Software Freedom Lovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Dec 01, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GNU_Linux-libre_6.18⦈_ Based on the recently released Linux 6.18 kernel series, the GNU Linux-libre 6.18 kernel is here to clean up new drivers for FourSemi digital audio amplifier (library and FS2104/5S), TI TAS2783 speaker amplifier, and Qualcomm GENI Serial Engine.

you shouldn't either—here's why — Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents: The first time I gave money to a Linux project felt weird. I'd been playing with one distro or another for a while, never quite figuring it out. Then Ubuntu Linux launched just as I started college, and because we all had bad internet, they sent me an installation disc for free. I used Ubuntu on and off, but I switched to it completely during my postgrad years, running on a little netbook that I took to every class. Then, one day as I ordered yet another free disc from the website, I thought to myself, "I'm a grownup now, maybe I should actually push that donate button" and since then, I've opened my wallet now and then to throw a few bones at possibly the most important software project in history.

Even when those old specs can't handle a full Windows installation anymore, there are plenty of lighter Linux-based alternatives that can still give your PC a new life. However, I personally haven't had to resort to some of the more extreme measures we sometimes recommend. The laptops I have in my office are new enough that I can customize Linux however I prefer without fear of performance penalties. But what if I did want to maximize performance? I tried a few tricks on a slightly older test machine, so here are my recommendations.

A named set allows referring to a set of values, such as IP addresses, from one or more rules without embedding those values directly into the rule itself. Even nicer, set elements can have individual timeouts. This is a convenient way to make self-cleaning sets, which I already used in my nftables port knocking example from years ago. * ⚓ Quarkslab ☛ Oops!_It's_a_kernel_stack_use-after-free:_Exploiting NVIDIA's_GPU_Linux_drivers⠀⇛ This article details two bugs discovered in the NVIDIA Linux Open GPU Kernel Modules and demonstrates how they can be exploited. The bugs can be triggered by an attacker controlling a local unprivileged process. Their security implications were confirmed via a proof of concept that achieves kernel read and write primitives. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Landlock-ing_Linux_(prizrak.me)⠀⇛ The prizrak.me blog is carrying an introduction to the Landlock security module. Landlock shines when an application has a predictable set of files or directories it needs. For example, a web server could restrict itself to accessing only /var/www/html and /tmp. Unlike SELinux or AppArmor, Landlock policies don't require administrator involvement or system-wide configuration. Developers can embed policies directly in application code, making sandboxing a natural part of the development process. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1647 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/01/Leftovers_GNU_Linux_BSD_Hardware_and_Gadgets.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/01/Leftovers_GNU_Linux_BSD_Hardware_and_Gadgets.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Leftovers: GNU/Linux, BSD, Hardware, and Gadgets⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 01, 2025 * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ Jupiter Broadcasting ☛ The_Sunday_Soapbox_|_LINUX_Unplugged_643⠀⇛ We pull on a few loose threads from recent episodes, and some of them unravel into way more than we expected. o ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2025-11-20_[Older]_MX_Linux_25_RELEASED!_The DistroWatch_KING_Just_Got_a_WILD_Makeover!_(NOT_Everyone’s_Happy)⠀⇛ * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ GNOME ☛ Sophie_Herold:_Weekly_report_#75⠀⇛ Hello world!

Many packages include extensive build steps that are either fully serial, or cannot fully utilize the available CPU threads throughout. This problem becomes less pronounced when running building multiple packages in parallel, but then we are risking overscheduling for packages that do take advantage of parallel builds. Fortunately, there are a few tools at our disposal that can improve the situation. Most recently, they were joined by two experimental system-wide jobservers: guildmaster and steve. In this post, I’d like to provide the background on them, and discuss the problems they are facing. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ How_to_Make_Your_GNU/Linux_System_Flatpak Ready⠀⇛ Flatpaks can give your GNU/Linux desktop access to newer apps, but only if your system is set up to use them.

I’m always looking for something new to do with one of my servers or Raspberry Pi’s, so here are three projects to try out this weekend, including gaming, graphs, and git. o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 3_Raspberry_Pi_projects_to_try_this_weekend_ (November_21_-_23)⠀⇛ As we head into the weekend, it’s time for another round of fun Raspberry Pi projects to do before heading back to work on Monday. This weekend, I’m thinking it’s time to set up some robust alternative services for when the web goes down again. From hosting your own photo backup server and removing reliance on Google or Apple, to having a backup VPN set up, and even hosting your own AI, here are three Raspberry Pi projects to try this weekend. o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Repurpose_an_old_computer_as_a_Home_Assistant_server today_(you’ve_got_nothing_to_lose)⠀⇛ When I first installed Home Assistant on a whim to see what all the fuss was about, I had no idea how important the platform would become in my home. I’ve since spent a fair bit of time and money fleshing out my setup, but without that first step, I’d still be none the wiser. Setting up a Home Assistant server is the perfect way to repurpose an old computer and unlock a world of smart home possibilities. o ⚓ XDA ☛ I_made_a_multi-boot_USB_drive_for_almost_any_OS,_new_or old⠀⇛ Whether it's for tech troubleshooting or reinstalling your system if the worst happens, having a bootable USB drive with plenty of disc imagesis essential for getting your PC back in action. Most modern guides will tell you to use Ventoy, which isn't a bad option at all but does limit your scope somewhat. But what if I told you that there's a continually maintained USB installer tool that feels retro while being incredibly future-looking and packed with other handy features? That tool is Easy2Boot, and don't let the janky UI put you off because you will want to learn what it can do. My only suggestion is to get a large USB drive to use with it, since you will want to fit as many ISO files on it as possible. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ I_ditched_Google_Drive_and_OneDrive_for_this_free open-source_syncing_app⠀⇛ If you spend any amount of time in a Windows environment, you know the routine: every new update brings a few helpful tweaks, a few head-scratchers, and at least one new way for OneDrive to wedge itself deeper into your workflow. I love Windows, truly, but OneDrive has always been one of the many parts of it that I tolerate rather than enjoy or use. It tries to sync things I never asked it to, moves files around in ways I don’t expect, and sometimes acts like it knows better than I do about what should actually live on my own PC. After a while, the whole thing started feeling less like a convenience and more like a negotiation. That pushed me to look for something that could sync my files without bringing a cloud service into the picture. I wanted a tool that felt simple, predictable, and firmly under my control. That’s when I landed on Syncthing, a free and open-source app that quietly keeps all my devices in sync without subscriptions, storage limits, or the usual corporate nudging. It’s become one of those utilities I install on all of my machines, whether they be Windows, Mac, or Linux. It just does the job it’s supposed to do and stays out of my way. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1927 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/01/One_of_the_best_gaming_Linux_OSes_just_shifted_1_000_000_GB_of_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/01/One_of_the_best_gaming_Linux_OSes_just_shifted_1_000_000_GB_of_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ One of the best gaming Linux OSes just shifted 1,000,000 GB of ISOs in a single month⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 01, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Bazzite_game⦈_ Quoting: One of the best gaming Linux OSes just shifted 1,000,000 GB of ISOs in a single month — We've seen some excellent news for Team Linux over the past few weeks. We've only just learned that Zorin OS 18, an operating system specifically designed to welcome in Windows 10 escapees, hit 780,000 downloads from Windows machines in just a month. While we will likely never learn what percentage of those downloads stuck with it, it's still interesting to see how people are giving Linux a try. Now, another Linux-based operating system is announcing a bountiful month. One of the best gaming Linux distros out there, Bazzite, has just posted that it served one petabyte (that's 1,000,000 GB) of ISO downloads in a single month, and things are looking sweet for the world of open-source software.

It's now full aimed at a single thing: selling acccess to AI-models, trained on your code. And if there's one thing to take away from Cory Doctorow's Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It book, is that once a company goes down that path, you simply can't trust it anymore. It will use its dominant position and network effect to keep you locked in, and milk you for everything you have. This is why, starting today, the open source repositories containing tools I built for myself are migrated to a self- hosted Forgejo instance, accessible here. I'll set these repositories Github counterparts to read-only, and redirect them to my instance in the README. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Perl ☛ Perl_Advent_Calendar_2025_-_The_Ghost_of_Perl_Developer Surveys_Past,_Present,_and_Future⠀⇛ It was a quiet December evening when a weary Perl developer—curled up with a warm mug of cocoa—received an unexpected visitor.

Take its compatibility with first- and third-party tools, for example. Thanks to the talented minds at Proxmox and a supportive community of tinkerers, the PVE ecosystem is laden with handy services you can integrate with your home lab. But with a staggering number of Proxmox-centric projects on GitHub, many utilities tend to stay out of the spotlight and don’t get the recognition they deserve. That’s a shame, because some of these tools are a godsend for managing, troubleshooting, and monitoring your Proxmox home lab. * ⚓ XDA ☛ 8_Proxmox_utilities_every_home_labber_should_use⠀⇛ From top-tier performance in virtualization workloads to native support for LXCs, clusters, and ZFS, Proxmox has enough features that justify its popularity in the home lab ecosystem. However, the sheer number of first and third-party tools available for Proxmox is its biggest advantage over other virtualization platforms and server distros. I often spend my weekends looking into all the cool services, packages, and scripts I can integrate with my Proxmox nodes – and here’s a list of utilities that I consider essential for my PVE workstations. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_now_control_my_Proxmox_clusters_from_the_Terminal_with_PVETUI⠀⇛ It's no great secret that I'd work entirely from the Windows Terminal if I could. I've customized its look and feel, and swapped a bunch of resource-hungry apps for TUI versions. I've done the same for my Linux distros, and it just feels like home. Maybe that's because I started my computer journey on ProDOS and MS-DOS, so I learned the command line before anything else. I'm also a big fan of Proxmox, which runs most of my home lab, or at least the things that don't need bare-metal access. Don't get me wrong, I do like the web UI for Proxmox, and SSH from a Terminal window can do most things, but I like to have the best of both worlds. That's why when I saw there was a TUI to manage Proxmox, PVETUI, I rushed to install it, and I think I'm going to use this much more than the browser UI. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Who_needs_Proxmox?_I'm_finally_trying_out_Incus⠀⇛ Virtualization platforms like Proxmox or ESXi are handy tools if you want to test Linux distros or containers before they go into production, or if you're in the middle of your home lab journey. While Proxmox is the hypervisor of choice for most XDA home labbers, it's nowhere near the only option and is built for broad compatibility with the widest range of hosted OSes. Some tools take a different look at the problem, and that's what Incus was built for. It's an open-source container and virtual machine manager designed by the developers who created LXD, to give you a public cloud experience while self-hosting. It differs in that it's built for security at every stage, can deploy dozens of VMs at once with minimal slowdown, and specializes in full-system containers that include systemd, multiple users, and all the other features of a full Linux installation. Be warned, it's nowhere near as user-friendly as some virtual machine managers, but is very good at spinning up sprawling cloud instances for testing at scale. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠋⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷ ⣿⡟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠏ ⣯⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣤⣴⣤⣽⣤⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣦⣤⣄⡀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿ ⣼⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡵⣽⡇⠀⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡈ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠳ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣠⣄⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣽⡀⢲⣿⡿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⢳ ⣿⣻⡿⠜⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⡿⠟⣵⠆⢶⡶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠦ ⣿⢞⠉⣀⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡍⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⣈⣿⣿⣴⣷⢀⡸⠯⠹⢁⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣭⠁⢱⣛⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠨⠀⣭⢿⡟⢼⣗⠂⣀⣀⡾⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡧⠀⠈⢻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠛⠁⠛⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⡲⠂⠫⠴⢿⣉⠉⠀⠡⡦⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣋ ⠟⠉⠀⣢⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡸⠟⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⢺⡂⠀⠀⢁⣀⠀⢱⡏⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛ ⡂⢀⣬⣡⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣯⢼⢷⣥⠤⡿⠛⣷⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⡿⠚ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣷⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⣿⠐⢠⣿⣶⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⡅⢀⡀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣎⡅⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠶⠶⠶⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠁⠀⣌⠈⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢞⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡋⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠸⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢛⣛⢋⣩⠉⣭⡍⣭⡍⣥⡄⠀⠀⣰⣆⢰⡆⠀⠂⠂⠾⠇⠸⠃⠀⠻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡆⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣯⣾ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣀⢄⣤⠤⡶⢠⣶⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠘⠛⠀⠁⠁⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣽⠖⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡃⠀⢘⠭⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡙⢦⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⡐⢒⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠝⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣺⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣅⠀⠀⡞⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2250 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/01/Raspberry_Pi_5_Single_Board_Computer_Now_Available_with_1GB_RAM.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/01/Raspberry_Pi_5_Single_Board_Computer_Now_Available_with_1GB_RAM.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Raspberry Pi 5 Single-Board Computer Now Available with 1GB RAM for $45 USD⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Dec 01, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Raspberry_Pi_5⦈_ Released two years ago, the Raspberry Pi 5 was initially launched in 4GB and 8GB RAM variants, with a 2GB RAM variant released in August 2024, and a 16GB RAM model arriving in January 2025 thanks to the optimized D0 stepping of the Broadcom BCM2712 application processor in the Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer.

Use Linux, BSD. — Diving into the Gnoppix experience was, in a word, bizarre. Over the years I have reviewed several distributions which have had technical problems, a handful that have had design issues, and a few which will clearly minimum effort financial schemes to trick people into buying (or donating to) a copy of another distribution with some of the trademarks replaced. Gnoppix is nearly unique in being a project was set up in such a weird way that I questioned what the developers think they were trying to accomplish. That might seem like a harsh statement, but I struggle to find any other explanation for the Wonderland-style experience Gnoppix offers. The project's website is full of contradictions and misinformation, claiming Gnoppix is lightweight (it's the second- or third-largest distribution by RAM usage I've encountered), it claims to respect privacy by using locally integrated LLMs, but its one AI tool is on- line only and there are no local AI packages, let alone any effort to integrate them in the system. The project strives to offer a product, a unified AI chat system, but free alternatives are available on-line and downloadable for any Linux distribution without requiring a membership. This calls into the question of the purpose of the Gnoppix AI membership account, which appears to exist solely to make the developers money rather than to offer any benefit to the user. As I mentioned earlier, the ReadMe file on the desktop is surreal, with rants and claims about Ubuntu being based on Gnoppix, and highlights features which the distribution does not have. Another thing I found weird is the project's website doesn't appear to mention that Tor is used to redirect the user's network traffic by default. Having Tor enabled as a feature could be good or bad (depending on your needs), but it seems odd to not make it clear that Tor is running automatically. To the project's credit it does mention Tor on the Services page ("The new Gnoppix Tor Bridges feature is designed to combat state-level Internet censorship by providing secret, unlisted entry points into the Tor network.), though it doesn't mention Tor is turned on by default. These "secret entry points" might explain why the Internet connection doesn't work by default. This again feels like an odd thing to do, especially since it has such a negative impact on the distribution's performance. To top it off, we're greeted by a welcome window that has buttons to launch tools that do not match their labels. It is beyond me why a developer would do this, unless it were for some complex joke.

The webhost says it ought not impact anything for real people (rather than bots or monitors), though IRC is always more sensitive (any hangups pose issues for many people, unlike Gemini Protocol and Web visitors). "During this network maintenance we will be migrating our LONAP connection to a different router," says the webhost. "During this time traffic to some external Internet sites will go via different paths where we have ample spare capacity.

Then perhaps you can help me see the appeal. To me, the fundamental properties of a system are what make it special, not the superficial changes made every few months. Perhaps I'm wrong? But here's why I think it's a waste of time. Distro hopping has been around for as long as I've used Linux, and I've never understood it. I see it as digital feng shui, where people obsessively move the furniture around because they're bored. I sometimes wonder: am I so out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong. For me, choosing a distro is about the fundamental aspects I cannot configure. It's about architecture, not about the shiny new toys, because you can install those toys on any distro. Even now as I write this, I'm dragging my palm down across my face.

howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 01, 2025 * ⚓ IT Pro ☛ How_to_remote_desktop_into_Ubuntu⠀⇛ Ubuntu is one of the most popular distros in the Linux world, renowned for its stability and robust hardware compatibility. For IT professionals managing mixed environments, establishing remote desktop access to Ubuntu is often a critical requirement. Whether you need to manage servers, provide remote support, or access your development environment, connecting remotely streamlines workflows. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 8_Linux_shell_tricks_that_completely_change_how_commands work⠀⇛ The shell is the unsung hero of your Linux experience. Sitting between you and the programs your operating system runs, the shell is a user interface and a programming language rolled into one. One of the shell’s responsibilities is to apply various expansions to the command you type, inserting variables, for example. Expansion involves several steps, though, so it’s worth understanding the process in full. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Here's_how_I_fixed_Windows_not_showing_up_in_my_dual_boot menu⠀⇛ If you recently set up a dual boot configuration with Windows and Linux, you might have run into the same problem I did: Windows not showing up as an option in the GRUB menu. I'll show you how I solved it (and the technical reason behind it). To be more specific, I installed CachyOS on a drive separate from my Windows 11 drive. I'd installed various Linux distributions on this drive several times now, and the boot menu typically just works. My Windows 11 boot option would show up without any effort from me. In this instance, though, it took a few extra steps to make it work. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3100 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/01/today_s_howtos.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/01/today_s_howtos.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 01, 2025 * ⚓ C/C++_Programming_Software_for_Linux:_Best_IDEs,_Editors,_Compilers_& Setup⠀⇛ Programming in C doesn’t always require Windows, as various C development tools are available for Linux. In fact, GNU/Linux has been the preferred operating system for C developers for decades—and for good reason. It provides native access to powerful compilers, robust debugging tools, and a development environment that feels natural for systems programming. * ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ How_to_Install_Python_3.14_on_Ubuntu_24.04_&_22.04⠀⇛ Python 3.14 is finally here as the latest stable release of the Python programming language! It brings tons of performance improvements, exciting new features, cleaner syntax, and better error messages — everything that makes coding in Python even more fun and productive. * ⚓ Linux Host Support ☛ How_to_Install_Git_on_AlmaLinux_10⠀⇛ Git is a popular version control system used in modern software development. It allows multiple developers to contribute to the same project simultaneously while tracking changes and revisions. This helps manage large projects efficiently. Git repositories are hosted on sites like Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub and Bitbucket. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Passbolt_Password_Manager_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Managing passwords securely has become critical for individuals and organizations alike. Passbolt offers a robust, open-source solution that combines enterprise- grade security with the flexibility of self-hosting. This comprehensive guide walks you through installing Passbolt Community Edition on Debian 13 (Trixie), ensuring you have complete control over your sensitive credentials. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Munin_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Monitoring server performance and resource utilization is critical for maintaining healthy IT infrastructure. Munin stands out as a powerful, open-source monitoring solution that excels at tracking system resources, generating insightful graphs, and identifying performance trends over time. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Memcached_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Memcached is a high-performance, distributed memory object caching system designed to speed up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load. When properly implemented, this open-source solution dramatically reduces data retrieval times by storing frequently accessed information in RAM rather than making repeated database queries. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3188 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/01/Valuable_FreeBSD_15_0_RELEASE_Updates.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/01/Valuable_FreeBSD_15_0_RELEASE_Updates.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Valuable FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE Updates⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 01, 2025 The official FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE announcement should come any moment now – the 15.0-RELEASE Release Notes have been mostly updated – below I have gathered most valuable additions that FreeBSD 15.0 will bring.

But, undeniably, the rise of Linux gaming has something to do with it. After decades of being inviable as a primary gaming platform, things are changing fast in the world of Linux gaming. This time it doesn't feel like a flash in the pan, but trying to understand why it feels that way to me turns out to be a little complicated.
