We're adding about 250 pages each week and benefit from the growing interest "out there" in GNU/Linux. To give a rough idea of how large we are, this is the Web space: (objects tally) find /var/www/tuxmachines.org/ | wc -l 550794 And Geminispace: find /home/gemini/tuxmachines.org/ | wc -l 40612 Counting some peripheral (to the above) objects, such as the bulletins or logs, that's even more than 600,000. Next summer (in June) we turn 22 and GNU/Linux has never been as big and important as it is right now. Many news sites perished (offline, becoming slopfarms, inactive or whatever), but we keep going strong. The Web is full of nonsense these days, but keeping focused and sober can help extract the signal out of it (LLM slop isn't too hard to identity and accordingly avoid). █

Quickly find installed packages, check versions, and discover available packages using simple keyword searches. Get a clean, colorful overview of package status, update availability, and repository sources – all in one place.

This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Checker_Framework_-_pluggable_type-checking_for_Java_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ The Checker Framework enhances Java’s type system to make it more powerful and useful. This lets software developers detect and prevent errors in their Java programs. A “checker” is a compile-time tool that warns you about certain errors or gives you a guarantee that those errors do not occur. The Checker Framework comes with checkers for specific types of errors. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ EVTXtract_-_recovers_and_reconstructs_fragments_of_EVTX_log_files_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ To decode a record into XML, the event log service resolves the template and replaces its placeholders with the entries of the substitution array. Therefore, template corruption renders many records unrecoverable within the local 64KB “chunk”. However, the substitution array for the remaining records may still be intact. If so, it may be possible to produce XML fragments that match the original records if the damaged template can be reconstructed. For many common events, such as process creation or account logon, empirical testing demonstrates the relevant templates remain mostly constant. In these cases, recovering event log records boils down to identifying appropriate templates found in other EVTX chunks. This is free and open source software. It runs under Linux and macOS. * ⚓ Darkwrite_-_eye-candy_note_taking_and_to-do_app_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Darkwrite is billed as an eye-candy note taking and to-do application for all desktops.

Since then, a few issues have piled up, blocking further releases. First, the update to ICU 78 caused libqt5-qtwebengine the build to fail. Because this package is present on nearly 100% of systems (specifically those installed before the new opensuse-welcome), we could not consider releasing it in that state. We also encountered significant friction with systemd 258, which triggered several complex issues in openQA. While we have set that update aside for deep diagnostics, we decided to revert to the already shipped version for the immediate future. This specific move should unblock Tumbleweed and get the snapshots rolling again. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1162 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/06/GNU_Linux_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/06/GNU_Linux_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 06, 2025 * ⚓ Make Tech Easier ☛ 2025-11-25_[Older]_Why_Using_the_Linux_Terminal_is Not_As_Good_As_It_Sound⠀⇛ * ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ 2025-11-30_[Older]_My_terminal_feels_like_a_full_IDE after_these_changes⠀⇛ * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Meet_the_latest_Red_Hat_OpenShift Superheroes⠀⇛ OpenShift Superheroes are made up of: [...] o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ From_cloud_to_dashboard:_experience_the_future_of infotainment_development_at_CES_2026⠀⇛ This year, we’re excited to show a demo that combines the strengths of both Anbox Cloud and Rightware’s Kanzi, the industry-leading software for creating rich, visually stunning infotainment interfaces.

Over-provisioning leads to idle resources and wasted spend, while under- provisioning risks degraded application performance. To address this, Red Bait is introducing right-sizing recommendations in technology preview as part of Red_Hat_Advanced_Cluster Management_for_Kubernetes 2.15 release. This feature empowers Red_Hat_OpenShift_Virtualization users to analyze, visualize, and optimize resource allocation across their environments using built-in observability and analytics. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1482 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/06/Linux_Kernel_Cross_compiling_for_RISC_V_with_Nix_and_Brendan_Gr.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/06/Linux_Kernel_Cross_compiling_for_RISC_V_with_Nix_and_Brendan_Gr.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Linux Kernel: Cross-compiling for RISC- V with Nix and Brendan Gregg Leaving Intel⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 06, 2025 * ⚓ Daniël de Kok ☛ Cross-compiling_for_RISC-V_with_Nix⠀⇛ Since most RISC-V boards are quite slow, it is often useful to do initial development and testing on a fast x86-64 or ARM64 machine.

Most stores should have it now. Fashion Company Apple is being a pain, but that’s pretty usual. * § Games⠀➾ o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Blue_Hedgehog,_Meet_Boing_Ball:_Can_Sonic_Run_On Amiga?⠀⇛ The Amiga was a great game system in its day, but there were some titles it was just never going to get. Sonic the Hedgehog was one of them– SEGA would never in a million years been willing to port its flagship platformer to another system. Well, SEGA might not in a million years, but [reassembler] has started that process after only thirty four. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ The Fast Mode ☛ Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_Boost_AI Performance_with_AMD,_Intel_&_NVIDIA_AI_Accelerators⠀⇛ Red Hat, the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, announced a streamlined experience for Red Hat Enterprise Linux customers to more easily access and install leading AI accelerators from AMD, Intel and NVIDIA. With this update, Red Hat Enterprise Linux delivers a robust operating system to power AI workloads, enabling IT teams to unlock critical hardware and software capabilities that have been validated for interoperability, reducing bottlenecks and accelerating the AI/ML lifecycle. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Yahoo News ☛ Automotive_Grade_Linux_Launches_Open_Source SoDeV_Reference_Platform_to_Accelerate_Software_Defined Vehicles⠀⇛ Automotive Grade Linux (AGL), a collaborative cross-industry effort developing an open source platform for connected car technologies, today announced SoDeV, a new open source SDV reference implementation that enables software-first development, decoupled from hardware constraints. # ⚓ PR Newswire ☛ Automotive_Grade_Linux_Launches_Open_Source SoDeV_Reference_Platform_to_Accelerate_Software_Defined Vehicles⠀⇛ # ⚓ SDx Central ☛ Linux_developers_can_now_use_Intel_AI_chip without_device_meltdowns⠀⇛ The open source openSUSE project has begun to distribute packaging of the Intel Neural Processing Unit (NPU) driver for small-scale AI development. Phoronx reported Intel NPU driver support is now available via release packages such as openSUSE’s fully rolling-release Tumbleweed distribution. With the capability, Linux developers using the open source SUSE system can leverage Intel’s built-in CPU accelerator for AI workloads on laptop and PC devices, with NPUs bringing advantages over CPUs and GPUs, which often drain power and work more slowly on smaller hardware. Developers will need OpenVINO user-space software ready to leverage the NPU. Developed by Intel, OpenVINO is purpose-built for optimizing applications using low power consumption, low latency, and deployment on existing hardware at the edge, enabling standard edge-based hardware to run AI applications without expensive and drastic overhauls. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ ESP32-C6-Devkit-Lipo_–_A_small,_open-source hardware_ESP32-C6_board_with_battery_support,_UEXT connector⠀⇛ Olimex ESP32-C6-DevKit-Lipo board is a small open- source hardware board based on the ESP32-C6 WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.0 LE, and Zigbee/Thread SoC with support for LiPo batteries and UEXT expansion modules. It’s the second announcement from the company this week, and comes after they introduced the MOD-ESP32-C5 to add wireless connectivity to boards equipped with a UEXT connector. The ESP32- C6-DevKit-Lipo adds to the list of small ESP32-C6 USB-C boards, such as the 01Space ESP32-C6 board and Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32C6, among many others. It’s actually larger than most similar boards, but differentiates itself with its open-hardware design, dual USB-C design, breadboard compatibility, LiPo battery circuitry, and a UEXT connector. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Sudo_Clean_Up_My_Workbench⠀⇛ [Engineezy] might have been watching a 3D printer move when inspiration struck: Why not build a robot arm to clean up his workbench? Why not, indeed? Well, all you need is a 17-foot-long X-axis and a gripper mechanism that can pick up any strange thing that happens to be on the bench. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Adding_Electronics_To_A_Classic_Game⠀⇛ Like many classic board games, Ludo offers its players numerous opportunities to inflict frustration on other players. Despite this, [Viktor Takacs] apparently enjoys it, which motivated him to build a thoroughly modernized, LED-based, WiFi- enabled game board for it (GitHub repository). * § Security⠀➾ o ⚓ New_Linux_malware_merges_Mirai_botnet_with_fileless_cryptominer⠀⇛ The Cyber Express reports that new Linux malware has been identified, combining the disruptive capabilities of the Mirai botnet with a stealthy, fileless cryptominer, creating a dual-purpose threat for network disruption and illicit profit. Researchers have detailed a sophisticated campaign employing advanced techniques like raw-socket scanning, masqueraded processes and dynamic DNS resolution to evade detection. The malware uses a multi-stage infection chain, starting with a downloader for Mirai binaries across various architectures. A key characteristic is its use of raw TCP sockets for high-velocity SSH scanning. Simultaneously, a fileless Monero cryptominer, XMRig, is deployed. This miner dynamically obtains its configuration—including wallet addresses and mining pools—directly from the command and control server, leaving no on-disk artifacts and hindering forensic analysis. This hybrid monetization strategy aims to maximize returns by leveraging compromised devices for both botnet attacks and cryptocurrency mining. * § Programming/Development⠀➾ o § Rust⠀➾ # ⚓ Rust Blog ☛ The_Rust_Programming_Language_Blog:_crates.io: Malicious_crates_finch-rust_and_sha-rust⠀⇛ On December 5th, the crates.io team was notified by Kush Pandya from the Socket_Threat_Research_Team of two malicious crates which were trying to cause confusion with the existing finch crate but adding a dependency on a malicious crate doing data exfiltration. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1737 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/06/Open_Hardware_Modding_Raspberry_Pi_RISC_V_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/06/Open_Hardware_Modding_Raspberry_Pi_RISC_V_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: Raspberry Pi, RISC- V, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 06, 2025 * ⚓ The_Raspberry_Pi_becomes_a_mature_Hey_Hi_(AI)_platform_for_edge computing⠀⇛ * ⚓ [Old] Alastair Roberts ☛ I_Built_a_Synth_for_My_Daughter⠀⇛ TLDR: I built a portable step-sequencer synthesizer for my daughter’s third birthday.

Things start off with a warning about the long- term viability of SSD backups, after which the discussion moves onto the limits of 3D printed PLA, the return of the Pebble smart watch, some unconventional aircraft, and an online KiCad schematic repository that has plenty of potential. You’ll also hear about a remarkable conference badge made from e-waste electronic shelf labels, filling 3D prints with foam, and a tiny TV powered by the ESP32. The episode wraps up with our wish for hacker-friendly repair manuals, and an interesting tale of underwater engineering from D-Day. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Edgi-Talk_machine_learning_development_kit_features Infineon_PSOC_Edge_E84_Edge_Hey_Hi_(AI)_SoC_(Crowdfunding)⠀⇛ Edgi-Talk is a machine learning platform/development kit powered by an Infineon PSOC Edge E84 Arm Cortex-M55/M33 SoC featuring Arm Helium, an Arm Ethos-U55 micro NPU, and an ultra- low-power NNLite neural network accelerator, all of which enable AI/ML processing at varying power/performance levels. The devkit also comes with 128 MB PSRAM, 128MB QSPI flash, a 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen display, two digital microphones, a speaker, WiFi 6 and Bluetooth LE 6.0 wireless connectivity, motion and environmental sensors, as well as a 40-pin Raspberry Pi header and two PMOD connectors for expansion. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ ExtrudeX_machine_recycles_failed/old_3D_prints_into_new filament_(Crowdfunding)⠀⇛ When 3D printing, users will always waste filament one way or the other, either due to a failed print or because of the support for the print, and there may also be test/old prints that you don’t need/use anymore, for example, a retraction cube or a benchy. That means all that material usually ends up in the dustbin. Priyank Pal, founder of Creative3dp, did not like all that waste, so he created the ExtrudeX machine to recycle 3D print waste and filament scraps back into usable filament. On top of that, the machine itself is 3D printable and much more affordable than commercial solutions from companies such as Filabot. I’d usually provide the specifications here, but as a crowdfunded project, the ExtrudeX’s full technical details are not fully available. * ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ The_6th_edition_of_our_Beginner's_Guide_is_available now!⠀⇛ It was just over two years ago that we introduced the 5th edition of The Official Raspberry Pi Beginner’s Guide. That edition featured the latest and greatest of our hardware and software at the time: Raspberry Pi 5 and Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm. Since then, we’ve released many shiny new things, and the time was right for a major update. The 6th edition is available now, featuring Raspberry Pi 500 and 500+, and Raspberry Pi OS Trixie.

As part of my work I’ll be providing weekly updates on this website. Here’s what I did this week: [...] * ⚓ TigerBeetle Inc ☛ The_Write_Last,_Read_First_Rule⠀⇛ TigerBeetle is a financial transactions database that offers two primitives for double-entry bookkeeping: accounts and transfers. A separate data store, such as Postgres, stores master data, such as name and address of the account holder or terms and conditions of the account. This separation enables transfers to scale independently of general purpose master data (for example dealing with Black Friday events) and solves different security, compliance, or retention requirements of the independent data sets (for example enforce immutability of transfers). * ⚓ [Old] Dominik Tornow ☛ Assert_in_production⠀⇛ On 18 November 2025, Cloudflare suffered a global outage that returned HTTP 5xx errors across much of the Internet for hours. The culprit: a traffic-critical component attempted to read a file that had grown beyond its supported size, causing a crash—courtesy of a single unwrap(). unwrap() is functionally an assertion: If unwrap returns a value, the process continues, otherwise, the process aborts. * ⚓ The Weekly Challenge ☛ Advent_Calendar_-_December_5,_2025⠀⇛ You are given an array of integers, @ints. Write a script to re-arrange the given array in an increasing order and return the indices where it differs from the original array. * ⚓ Arjen Wiersma ☛ Advent_of_Code_2025_Day_5⠀⇛ The first thing to figure out is that a list of numbers is in a collection of ranges. Reading in the file and parsing it to numbers is something that has been done the entire week already, then it is a matter of taking the list of ingredients and mapping over the inventory, filtering out the ones that are not in range. * ⚓ AdventOfCode ☛ Day_6_-_Advent_of_Code_2025⠀⇛ Cephalopod math doesn't look that different from normal math. The math worksheet (your puzzle input) consists of a list of problems; each problem has a group of numbers that need to either be either added (+) or multiplied (*) together. * ⚓ Abhinav Sarkar ☛ Solving_Advent_of_Code_2025_in_Janet:_Day_1–4⠀⇛ I’m solving the Advent of Code 2025 in Janet. After doing the last five years in Haskell, I wanted to learn a new language this year. I’ve been eyeing the “New Lisps”1 for a while now, and I decided to learn Janet. Janet is a Clojure like Lisp that can be interpreted, embedded and compiled, and comes with a large standard library with concurrency, HTTP and PEG parser support. I want to replace Python with Janet as my scripting language. Here are my solutions for Dec 1–4. * ⚓ SusamPal ☛ Fizz_Buzz_in_CSS⠀⇛ What is the smallest CSS we can write to produce the Fizz Buzz sequence? One could of course do this with no CSS at all, simply by placing the entire sequence as plain text in the HTML body. So to make the problem precise and keep it interesting, we require that every number and word that appears in the output must come directly from the CSS. Placing any part of the output numbers or words outside the stylesheet or using JavaScript is not allowed. With this constraint, I think it can be done in four lines of CSS as shown below: [...] * ⚓ [Old] Sinclair Target ☛ Thoughts_on_Go_vs._Rust_vs._Zig_|_Sinclair Target⠀⇛ You can fit the whole language in your head because Go has so few features. For a long time, Go was notorious for not having generics. That was finally changed in Go 1.18, but that was only after 12 years of people begging for generics to be added to the language. Other features common in modern languages, like tagged unions or syntactic sugar for error-handling, have not been added to Go. It seems the Go development team has a high bar for adding features to the language. The end result is a language that forces you to write a lot of boilerplate code to implement logic that could be more succinctly expressed in another language. But the result is also a language that is stable over time and easy to read. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ In_Linux,_filesystems_can_and_do_have_things with_inode_number_zero⠀⇛ A while back I wrote about how in POSIX you could theoretically use inode (number) zero. Not all Unixes consider inode zero to be valid; prominently, OpenBSD's getdents(2) doesn't return valid entries with an inode number of 0, and by extension, OpenBSD's filesystems won't have anything that uses inode zero. However, Linux is a different beast. Recently, I saw a Go commit message with the interesting description of: [...] * ⚓ Dr Jonathan Carroll ☛ Haskell_IS_a_Great_Language_for_Data_Science⠀⇛ I’ve been learning Haskell for a few years now and I am really liking a lot of the features, not least the strong typing and functional approach. I thought it was lacking some of the things I missed from R until I found the dataHaskell project. * ⚓ Kerrick Long ☛ Peter_Coad_Slams_Alexander’s_“Pattern”_Theory._Is_He Right?⠀⇛ Given how pervasive pattern languages have become, I was surprised to see such stinging criticism of it by Peter Coad, author of Object Models, Second Edition. I don’t know whether he wrote this to set apart the 31 patterns in his book, or to prevent readers from sending pedantic letters about what a pattern “should be.” * ⚓ Yordi Verkroost ☛ Advent_of_Code_2025_-_Day_4⠀⇛ I opened the puzzle for day 4 and almost got a heart attack. It's a grid problem! I still have nightmares from previous years where seemingly straightforward 2D grids turned into three-dimensional ones... and sometimes even four! Luckily for me, today's 2D grid did not evolve into anything weird and remained as it was. Let's take a look. * ⚓ Yordi Verkroost ☛ Advent_of_Code_2025_-_Day_5⠀⇛ While the forklift breaks through the wall in the fifth day of Advent of Code, I feel like I need a break after a week's worth of 6 AM morning wake-up calls. Thank God it's Friday and almost weekend, but not before solving today's puzzles. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Rakulang ☛ Day_6_–_Robust_code_generation_combining_grammars_and LLMs_–_Raku_Advent_Calendar⠀⇛ This document (notebook) discusses different combinations of Grammar-Based Parser-Interpreters (GBPI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate executable code from Natural Language Computational Specifications (NLCM). We have the soft assumption that the NLCS adhere to a certain relatively small Domain Specific Language (DSL) or use terminology from that DSL. Another assumption is that the target software packages are not necessarily well-known by the LLMs, i.e. direct LLM requests for code using them would produce meaningless results. We want to do such combinations because: [...] o ⚓ The Weekly Challenge ☛ Advent_Calendar_-_December_6,_2025⠀⇛ You are given two array of strings, @str1 and @str2. Write a script to return the count of common strings in both arrays. o ⚓ Perl ☛ Perl_Advent_Calendar_2025_-_ToyCo_want_to_push_new_toy updates⠀⇛ Ok. That's easy. Back to our POST handler. $c->req is basically our incoming request, and Mojo has a really fast JSON parser built in that will give us the request body as a perl data structure... * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux.org ☛ Python_Series_Part_20:_Binding_Keys_and_Events_-_Part 2⠀⇛ Now we can continue learning about Python by Binding Keys and Events. If you have not read the previous article, then you definitely need to read it since this article continues and builds on all of it. Some of the following examples may contain material from the first article. Mouse : MouseWheel * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Jonas Haslbeck ☛ Introducing_openESM:_A_database_of_openly available_experience_sampling_datasets_including_R/Python interface⠀⇛ * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Carlos Becker ☛ OpenSource_Fridays_Brasil⠀⇛ I was in a live stream with Pachi Parra, talking a bit about my background, and about GoReleaser. o ⚓ Anton Zhiyanov ☛ Gist_of_Go:_Concurrency_internals⠀⇛ This is a chapter from my book on Go concurrency, which teaches the topic from the ground up through interactive examples. o ⚓ Andrew Vittiglio ☛ Golang’s_Big_Miss_on_Memory_Arenas⠀⇛ When your software team needs to pick a language today, you typically weigh two factors: language performance and developer velocity. If you choose lower-level languages like Rust, your team will spend weeks fighting the borrow checker, asynchronicity, and difficult syntax. If you choose TypeScript or Python, you’ll hit a performance wall the moment you venture outside of web apps, CRUD servers, and modeling. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Rust Blog ☛ The_Rust_Programming_Language_Blog:_Updating_Rust's GNU/Linux_musl_targets_to_1.2.5⠀⇛ Beginning with Rust 1.93 (slated for stable release on 2026-01-22), the various *-linux-musl targets will all ship with musl 1.2.5. This primarily affects static musl builds for x86_64, aarch64, and powerpc64le which bundled musl 1.2.3. This update comes with several_fixes_and improvements, and a breaking change that affects the Rust ecosystem. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2161 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/06/RIP_Windows_Linux_GPU_Gaming_Benchmarks_on_Bazzite.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/06/RIP_Windows_Linux_GPU_Gaming_Benchmarks_on_Bazzite.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ RIP Windows: Linux GPU Gaming Benchmarks on Bazzite⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 06, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Bazzite_Desktop_Edition⦈_ Microsoft’s business model is built on spying and data acquisition, making the obstacle of learning a new operating system less towering than it used to seem.

The tentative_ruling,_issued_this_morning, rules in favor of SFC that Vizio has a duty to provide SFC with the complete and corresponding copylefted source code to the TV it purchased. Tentative rulings are not final; they are issued by the court to indicate how the judge is leaning on the issue, so that oral arguments at the hearing are most effective. The hearing on this issue will take place today, at 10am Pacific time. Information on how to attend is below. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Judge_hints_Vizio_TV_buyers_may_have_rights_to_source code_licensed_under_GPL⠀⇛ Electronics biz Vizio may be required by a California court to provide source code for its SmartCast TV software, which is allegedly based on open source code licensed under the GPLv2 and LGPLv2.1. The legal complaint from the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) seeks access to the SmartCast source code so that Vizio customers can make changes and improvements to the platform, something that ought to be possible for code distributed under the GPL. On Thursday, California Superior Court Judge Sandy Leal issued a tentative ruling in advance of a hearing, indicating support for part of SFC's legal challenge. The tentative ruling is not a final decision, but it signals the judge's inclination to grant the SFC's motion for summary adjudication, at least in part. Also here: * ⚓ Judge_Signals_Win_for_Software_Freedom_Conservancy_in_Vizio_GPL_Case⠀⇛ A California judge has tentatively sided with Software Freedom Conservancy in its GPL case over Vizio’s SmartCast TVs, but the final outcome of this week’s hearing is still pending. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2529 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/06/The_Peanut_Treat_and_Keeping_on_Top_of_GNU_Linux_News.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/06/The_Peanut_Treat_and_Keeping_on_Top_of_GNU_Linux_News.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ The Peanut Treat and Keeping on Top of GNU/ Linux News⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 06, 2025, updated Dec 06, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇White_Face_Whistling_Duck_at_wildlife_reserve⦈_ Days ago we finally treated the birds to some more expensive treats; I had purchased some coconut shells filled with peanut butter-like substance, then took a hammer and some nails, hanging those on nearby tree trunks. The birds were at first reluctant to try it (they had become accustomed to various seeds or mixed nuts), but eventually they found the courage to compete for the new treats. Despite it being December and cold, we're happy to see the animals enjoying themselves and nesting here. Tomorrow morning we go on a short trip, so we'll need to leave the birds seeds for the entire day (we'll be back the same night). Last month we stayed home every day and in October we were absent for two, which meant the birds got nothing and maybe lost hope. In a sense, these birds sort of force us to stay at home or near home. On the upside, that means running the sites is easier; we need to keep on top of the news all the time. We expect a lot of positive news in 2026.

This is where it got hairy–all I needed was the hostname. Since my new ISP’s router does not provide reverse DNS on .lan anymore (nor does it expose any useful local API) and Bonjour might not be installed on all Steam servers, I had to wrestle that out of the response packet. After wrangling with it for a couple of hours, I decided I had to do it the “right” way, so I grabbed a few links to the protobuf definitions, fired up VS Code, and got GPT-5.1 to hack out a minimalist parser that would work without protobuf even if it does read somewhat like post-Modernist assembly language: [...] * ⚓ Manuel Matuzović ☛ Dealbreaker_bugs_in_native_popovers⠀⇛ Popovers are floating UI elements you can show or hide by pressing a button. They come with many accessibility features built in, so you don’t have to handle most of the work. You can learn more about that in “The accessibility of the popover attribute” (YouTube). * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Getting_out_of_being_people's_secondary authoritative_DNS_server_is_hard⠀⇛ Many, many years ago, my department operated one of the university's secondary authoritative DNS servers, which was used by most everyone with a university subdomain and as a result was listed as one of their DNS NS records. This DNs server was also the authoritative DNS server for our own domains, because this was in the era where servers were expensive and it made perfect sense to do this. At the time, departments who wanted a subdomain pretty much needed to have a Unix system administrator and probably run their own primary DNS server and so on. Over time, the university's DNS infrastructure shifted drastically, with central IT offering more and more support, and more than half a decade ago our authoritative DNS server stopped being a university secondary, after a lot of notice to everyone. * ⚓ Web Performance Calendar ☛ Non-blocking_cross-browser_image_rendering on_the_canvas_-_Web_Performance_Calendar⠀⇛ Canvas-based rendering has become a prominent tool for building complex web UI interfaces. When working with large images on canvas, one critical challenge stands out: keeping the main thread responsive during image decoding. * ⚓ Manuel Matuzović ☛ Accessible_by_Design:_The_Role_of_the_'lang' Attribute_-_HTMHell⠀⇛ I have audited many sites and many frameworks in the past, I have noticed an alarming omission right from the outset when developers are building sites or applications. Especially in the mobile space and let's face it, in web development we focus on making things for ourselves and if it works on our computer, it must work everywhere! Right? I see it more prevalent these days. There are surveys out and the issue of accessibility education in university or boot camps still lacks. New developers entering the field who aren't aware, framework authors that just don't know, understand, or they just don'make their work accessible. I am here to discuss the importance of the language attribute in your code. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_OpenVPN_Server_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Setting up a secure VPN server gives you complete control over your network privacy and remote access capabilities. OpenVPN remains one of the most trusted and widely- deployed VPN solutions, offering robust encryption, cross-platform compatibility, and flexible configuration options. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_LaTeX_on_Linux_Mint_22⠀⇛ LaTeX stands as the gold standard for academic writing, scientific documentation, and professional typesetting. Linux Mint 22, with its robust Ubuntu foundation and user-friendly interface, provides an excellent platform for LaTeX enthusiasts and professionals. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Asterisk_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Asterisk stands as one of the most powerful open-source PBX (Private Branch Exchange) solutions available today, enabling businesses and organizations to build robust VoIP communication systems without expensive proprietary hardware. When combined with Debian 13 (Trixie), known for its stability and security, you create a reliable foundation for enterprise telephony infrastructure. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3356 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/06/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/06/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 06, 2025 * § Kernel Space⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ A_final_stable_kernel_update_for_5.4⠀⇛ Greg Kroah-Hartman has announced the release of the 5.4.302 stable kernel: This is the LAST 5.4.y release. It is now end-of-life and should not be used by anyone, anymore. As of this point in time, there are 1539 documented unfixed CVEs for this kernel branch, and that number wil only increase over time as more CVEs get assigned for kernel bugs. For the curious, Kroah-Hartman has also provided a list of the unfixed CVEs for 5.4.302. * § Hardware⠀➾ o § Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Olimex_LT8912B-based_MIPI-HDMI_adapter_board adds_HDMI_output_to_the_ESP32-P4-Devkit_board⠀⇛ Olimex MIPI-HDMI adapter board is built around Lontium Semiconductors’ LT8912B MIPI DSI to HDMI bridge chip designed to work with their own ESP32- P4-DevKit. The board outputs up to 1080p60 8-bit HDMI via its LT8912B converter and supports 1–4 MIPI DSI data lanes (80 Mbps to 1.5 Gbps per lane) in continuous-clock mode, outputting HDMI 1.4 video in a compact 60 × 24 mm form factor. # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Nordic_nRF54LV10A_is_a_tiny,_low-voltage Bluetooth_LE_SoC_for_battery-powered_medical_devices⠀⇛ Nordic Semi has unveiled a new member of the nRF54L series: the nRF54LV10A ultra-low-power, low-voltage Bluetooth LE SoC designed for battery-powered medical devices such as trackers, wearable biosensors, and continuous glucose monitors. The nRF54LV10A is offered in a tiny 2.3×1.9mm CSP package or 6x6mm QFN48 package, and since it operates within 1.2 to 1.7V DC supply, it can be powered directly by a 1.5V silver oxide battery typically found in wearables, including medical and healthcare devices. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Keebin’_With_Kristina:_The_One_With_The_Pretty Prototypes⠀⇛ Some like it flat, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Pierre-Loup Griffais, who helped build SteamOS and the Steam Deck, told The Verge (paywalled) about it recently. While most of us already knew of their work on Proton, the popular compatibility layer for running Windows games on Linux, their behind- the-scenes support for FEX-Emu, an x86-to-ARM64 emulator, has come as a surprise.
