GNOME⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 08, 2025 Quoting: A Simple Way to Fake Blurred Windows on GNOME - OMG! Ubuntu — The 2 Wallpapers developer explained they “like the look of blurry and transparent windows” but not the impact on system resources, so created a way to achieve lightweight window blurring – without blurring windows at all. The extension is described as a concept and ‘made on the fly’ with ‘zero skills. Those caveats aside, it is a creative way to approach this oft-lusted look for Linux desktops. Now, I should be clear: 2 Wallpapers will not create a blurry wallpaper for you. You will need to supply it with one, or create one (open an image in a tool like GIMP and apply a Gaussian or Box Blur filter – just save it as a second image; don’t overwrite the original).

Things are still roughly where I expect them to be, and dealing with my various Raspberry Pi projects over the years has allowed me to maintain my chops with the Linux command-line. Drivers are still flaky, and I still struggle with not having a bunch of the apps I like, as well as with the general lack of polish and refinement I've gotten used to with the Apple stuff. * ⚓ ZDNet ☛ This_Linux_distro_is_a_new_spin_on_my_old_favorite_-_and_it's delightful⠀⇛ ack in the early 2000s, Enlightenment was my desktop of choice. To this day, Enlightenment is still an option, and it's one that remains just as fun and unique to use. Back in those days, I had to install Enlightenment manually, because there were no distributions that offered it as a default. At one point, a new Linux distribution came into being that made use of Enlightenment as its only desktop environment -- Bodhi Linux. After some time with Enlightenment, the primary developer decided to fork the DE and created Moksha. Moksha is still in the vein of Enlightenment, only with a dash more user friendliness. It offers a vast amount of configurations and a menu that can be accessed from anywhere on the desktop with a left mouse click. The developers of MX Linux have decided to create a new spin, MX Moksha, and it's delightful. I downloaded and installed MX Moksha to see how it fared, and here are my thoughts. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Tiny_Core_Linux_16.2_still_fits_a_proper_Linux_desktop into_a_23MB_download_—_but_it_has_grown_1MB_since_the_last_time_we_looked at_it⠀⇛ This isn't a prank, and it isn't just a "look how small we made Linux!" gimmick. Tiny Core Linux is a real, maintained distribution with current kernels all the way up to 6.12, modern libraries, system extension repositories, and working support for contemporary hardware. It's extremely small because the project has a very strict, long-standing philosophy: keep the base minimal, load everything else as modular extensions, and run the whole system in RAM when possible. * ⚓ But she's a girl... ☛ Using_Denix_for_a_multi-host_nix_config⠀⇛ Since getting back into running NixOS, I have been having a whale of a time configuring my Linux machine. The declarative life is somewhat addictive. However, I felt that I could be improving my configuration in a couple of ways. First, while I was learning how to configure NixOS, I had tended to scatter bits of code about randomly, and so it started to become a challenge to find what I needed. Second, I was getting the itch to bring some of the benefits of declarative configuration to my macOS machines. You obviously have less control there (even with nix-darwin), but I have tailored my Emacs, Neovim and shell environment just the way I like them, and every time I use macOS, it irks me that I don’t have access to the nice configuration that is set up on my Linux box. In my browsing around, I came across Denix, which solves both problems very nicely. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 495 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/08/Fastfetch_2_56_Arrives_With_Improved_Config_Loading_and_NUMA_De.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/08/Fastfetch_2_56_Arrives_With_Improved_Config_Loading_and_NUMA_De.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Fastfetch 2.56 Arrives With Improved Config Loading and NUMA Detection⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 08, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Fastfetch_2.56⦈_ Quoting: Fastfetch 2.56 Arrives With Improved Config Loading and NUMA Detection — Fastfetch, the tool beloved by Linux enthusiasts for showcasing a sleek summary of system information right in the terminal, has just launched version 2.56. The update refines how configuration files are loaded, allowing relative paths passed through --config or -c to be resolved automatically using locations listed by fastfetch --list-config- paths, typically including ~/.config/fastfetch/. Another noteworthy addition is NUMA node count detection, exposed through the {numa-nodes} format key and available on Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows.

You're Not Alone...⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 08, 2025, updated Dec 08, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Broken_Wagon_Wheel⦈_ Yesterday on a long journey down south I read the first 70 pages or so of a book that the publicist of Bruce_Schneier_had_chosen_to_send_me_without_any obligations_or_anything. They just wanted me to read it. It would be unfair to write any kind of review without or before reading the whole thing, and moreover somewhat rude to criticise a gift that had no strings attached to it. I wanted to just say that calling things "AI" and "AIs" can mislead the reader. Now, to be fair, the authors do not try to claim chatbots have real intelligence, so they're not misleading people. It's just that, if I was to write something similar (and about 300 pages of it), I'd adopt different terminology. Schneier and Sandler aren't "Stallmans", so they follow conventional terminology and go along with it. The first few chapters are quite OK. The first one is fair, but over time it feels more like "let's write some text to fill" this heading/headline about "AI" and [something else]. That leads to more skimming, less in-depth reading. To be clear, this is the first time I read a Schneier book, so I cannot compare it to prior one. I'll keep reading it when I'm offline and eventually give thoughts about the entire lot. "AI" is basically a collective term for a lot of nonsense, so writing a long book about nonsense is bound to seem weak. I spent many hours speaking to an NVIDIA employee who said they were compelled to use "AI" at work (slop for code; he explained the shortcomings of this and he's security-conscious; there are CVEs under his name). He said he found his job very stressful and prior roles in other companies had vastly better "work- life balance" (his words). It was a "corporate culture" thing. It would not just "resolve itself". So he said he would likely not stay there long; he also fully accepted that NVIDIA was channel-stuffing and engaging in "circular financing"_to_inflate_its_sales_numbers, i.e. this was likely a bubble waiting to pop because slop_is_not_improving, it is just wasting a lot of energy while debt soars. Maybe "AI" is really just another bubble or hype like "metaverse", "IoT", "blockchains" and so on (except far bigger; he compared this one to "NFTs" - a prior and short-lived gold rush).█ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠋⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⣀⢀⡀⢀⡀⡀⠀⡀⣠⣤⣠⣀⢀⣶⣤⣤⣄⣀⣀⣀⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡄⣠⣄⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣶⣤⣷⣴⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⣶⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣴⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣬⣤⣦⣤⣄⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷ ⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣾⠟⠛⠋⠉⣁⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⡶⠿⠿⠿⠧⠤⠤⢀⣈⠉⠉⠙⠛⠻⠿⢿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠛⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠻⠿⢿⣿⣿⡇⠙⠒⠄⠀⠠⠤⠤⠒⠋⠉⠀⢀⣶⣾⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⠿⣿⣯⣷⠠⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⡿⢿⣷⣶⣤⣤⣀⡀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣥⣤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠁⣀⣠⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣶⣤⣄⡀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠘⡏⠙⣿⣿⢿⣿⣯⣿⣾⡿⠻⢽⣯⣶⣾⣶⣾⣦⣶⣿⣫⣧⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠿⢋⢐⠾⠈⠀⡨⠞⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣻⣿⡟⠟⠉⠥⠤⠶⠟⠻⠽⠿⠿⠻⠛⠛⠛⠉⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣄⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠑⠂⠀⠙⠀⠀⠅⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⣠⣾⡿⠋⠀⠀⢀⣀⣠⣠⣀⣀⣄⣄⣠⣀⣄⣤⣠⠤⠄⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⣈⣙⢻⣿⠿⡿⠿⠿⣯⣾⣿⣄⡈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠶⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠈⠀⢠⣾⣿⠟⠀⠀⣀⣲⡋⣿⣽⣿⣿⡿⠿⠻⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠑⠶⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠛⠳⠥⣤⣄⣈⡛⠉⠙⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠉⠛⠀⠀⠀⠂⠉⠀⣐⣿⣿⠗⢠⣴⡿⠾⠿⠛⠛⠉⠉⠀⠀⡀⡀⣀⡤⢄⡤⣠⣶⡾⣻⠅⠀⢀⣴⣷⡿⠀⠀⠀⠄⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠓⢦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠙⠚⠓⠲⠶⢦⣤⣭⣽⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣯⣿⡏⠋⣀⣀⡠⣤⣤⣔⣶⡶⢿⣾⣛⣤⢗⣦⣽⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠈⠊⠻⣶⢦⣤⣄⡀⣀⡀⢀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠹⢿⡢⣤⣀⡀⠀ ⢀⣀⠀⡀⢀⠀⣀⣤⣼⣿⣿⡇⠈⢓⢍⣛⣽⣏⢿⣏⣿⣿⣽⢿⣣⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢴⠂⢲⣦⣀⠀⠉⠙⢿⣧⣄⣀⣌⣀⡉⢀⣉⡛⡁⠀⠈⢀⣀⢀⣍⣥⣴ ⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣞⢡⢹⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣞⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠀⠠⡀⡀⢠⣾⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⢅⢫⣾⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣀⠈⠛⠙⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣉⣉ ⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡈⣿⡿⢿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⢉⣖⢤⠐⠆⡐⢀⣼⣿⣿⡿⢃⢀⠂⣈⠂⠆⠀⡄⠂⢹⣿⡧⠘⢚⣿⣟⡿⣿⣿⣽⠱⣻⣿⣿⣛⣷⣦⣄⡀⠀⠑⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣃⠘⠿⣿⡿⣿⣿⡿⡫⠿⠿⠋⠁⣀⠄⣸⣿⣻⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠑⣺⣯⡙⠴⣠⠏⣾⣑⣽⢸⣿⣿⡛⣷⣖⡬⣯⣿⣿⣻⣿⣯⣻⡳⣿⡟⢃⣿⣿⡶⣴⣤⣍⠙⣻⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠙⢿⣿⣷⣤⡀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣻⣝⢾⡶⣾⣤⢼⡜⣱⣌⣓⢇⠀⣿⣿⣷⡶⣾⡽⣟⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣽⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣀⠀⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⢽⡾⢿⣾⣿⢿⡆⠿⣿⣻⣿⣿⡿⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠄⠀⠈⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣻⣷⣽⣿⣿⣿⡽⣗⣿⣛⣿⣷⣿⣿⣛⡸⣾⣕⣲⡾⣷⠀⠹⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣄⡀⠀⠈⠙⠻⠾⢿⣿⣏⣹⣿⣾⣷⣷⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣾⣧⣶⣾⣿⣶⣾⣟⣛⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠟⠻⢿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣼⡿⠛⠻⢟⣒⡀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⢦⣄⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠶⠒⠐⠒⠾⠦⠴⡶⡛⡙⢛⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣤⣄⣄⠀⣀⡦⡀⣄⣀⡀⢀⢀⡀⡀⢀⢲⠶⡾⣿⣥⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 665 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/08/Firefox_146_Now_Available_for_Download_Here_s_What_s_New.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/08/Firefox_146_Now_Available_for_Download_Here_s_What_s_New.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Firefox 146 Now Available for Download, Here’s What’s New⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 08, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Firefox_146⦈_ Quoting: Firefox 146 Now Available for Download, Here’s What’s New — Almost a month after releasing version 145, Mozilla has launched Firefox 146, the latest update to its popular open-source web browser, now available for download. The release brings notable platform updates. Linux users running Wayland now benefit from native fractional scaling support, improving visual clarity and rendering accuracy on high-DPI displays. On macOS, Firefox enables a dedicated GPU process by default, isolating WebGPU, WebGL, and WebRender.

When a user issues a query, the engine will produce the result set at that point in time by churning through the data set and finding all matching records (oftentimes sped up by utilizing indexes). Generally, this approach of pulling data works well and it matches with how people think and operate. You have a question about your data set? Express it as a query, run that query, and the system will provide the answer.

This German State Decides to Save €15 Million Each Year By Kicking Out Microsoft for Open Source — European governments are pushing back against Big Tech's grip on public infrastructure. Denmark announced earlier this year that its Ministry of Digital Affairs was switching from Microsoft to LibreOffice. In more recent news, Switzerland's data protection authorities declared international cloud services unsuitable for handling personal data. One German state has been leading this charge for quite some time. Schleswig-Holstein started its open source journey early, becoming something of a vanguard in Europe's move away from proprietary software. Now, Dirk Schrödter, the Minister for Digital Transformation of the state, has shared some remarkable numbers (in Deutsch) that prove the financial case for implementing open source for government use cases.

This is, because, Linux is not a product but an amalgamation of disparate parts, somehow joined together, and every piece doings its own thing in complete and utter nerdy isolation. Kubuntu is also to blame, and Plasma, too, for reinventing the update wheel with a different UI. The worst part is not the updates - it's how difficult it is to manage them, and of course, the stupid torrent of popups. That annoys me the most. Not the fact it's one gentle prompt. No, it's two minutes of crap while you're doing important things. Randomly. I so hate how modern systems are designed for some sort of Utopian scenario. You don't boot your machine for a few days? As soon as you log in, update services are running, wasting your bandwidth. Services that compete with each other no less. Check the process table, and you'll find three or four different instances of apt running there. There'll be python3 scripts, there'll be daemons, there'll be scheduled jobs, everything. Noise and ignorance. An assumption that bandwidth is limitless, and that people have nothing better to do than administer their systems. Especially since the risk of not doing updates right away is practically low. Nothing at all will happen on the desktop if you don't update for a day or five. Ubuntu/Kubuntu has no open ports. It's about as safe as it gets. And, most importantly, my home ain't a data center somewhere. This ain't corpo stuff. But yeah, this is server stuff blindly implemented, and the concept of philosophical enjoyment does not exist. We're done here. Take care.

You know, putting two or more numbers below each other and then going from right to left, from digit to digit, to either add or multiply. Life was easy and peaceful back then. Much has changed since. But I digress. Let's look at the puzzles. * ⚓ Yordi Verkroost ☛ Advent_of_Code_2025_-_Day_3⠀⇛ This principle is the main idea for solving this problem. In general, if we need to find the largest possible number consisting of x digits, we first look for the largest number in the list excluding the last x - 1 digits. For example, if we need to find the largest possible number consisting of 12 digits, we first look for the largest number in the list excluding the last 11 digits. For the second digit of the resulting number, we look in the list excluding the last 10 digits, but we also start one position after the index of the previously found digit. That way we make sure we never look to the left side of the previously found digit, and we also leave enough room at the end of the list to find new digits. * ⚓ Martin Gunnarsson ☛ Advent_of_Code,_Rockstar_edition⠀⇛ At Øredev I met my pal Fredrik, who told me about this presentation he had just been to. It was about a fun programming language called Rockstar, which lets you write 80's rock ballad lyrics that compile. Fun! One faithful evening a few weeks later, after the rest of the family had gone to bed, I decided to have a couple of beers and give it a try. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ 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. * ⚓ Daniel Lemire ☛ Why_speed_matters⠀⇛ Moving fast does not mean that you complete your projects quickly. Projects have many parts, and getting everything right may take a long time. Nevertheless, you should move as fast as you can. * ⚓ [Old] University of Arizona ☛ The_Icon_Programming_Language⠀⇛ Icon was first released in 1979 as a modern successor to SNOBOL4, and it continued to evolve for the next two decades. Development has now been frozen, but the Unix implementation is still in active use and is maintained as necessary. * ⚓ [Old] University of Arizona ☛ An_Overview_of_the_Icon_Programming Language;_Version_9⠀⇛ Icon emphasizes high-level string processing and a design philosophy that allows ease of programming and short, concise programs. Storage allocation and garbage collection are automatic in Icon, and there are few restrictions on the sizes of objects. Strings, lists, and other structures are created during program execution and their size does not need to be known when a program is written. Values are converted to expected types automatically; for example, numeral strings read in as input can be used in numerical computations without explicit conversion. Icon has an expression-based syntax with reserved words; in appearance, Icon programs resemble those of Pascal and C. * ⚓ [Old] University of Arizona ☛ A_Brief_Introduction_to_Icon⠀⇛ In Icon, values, not variables, are typed. Built-in data types include numerics, character sets, strings, sets, lists, associative tables, records, and procedures. The aggregate types - sets, lists, tables, and records - can hold values of any type. Tables can be indexed by values of any type. Numerics, character sets, and strings are atomic values; operations on them produce new values. Aggregates use pointer semantics; operations on them can change existing values as well as produce new ones. Strings and aggregates can be of arbitrary size, and their sizes can change during execution. Memory management is automatic. Icon has an expression-oriented syntax; even control structures are expressions. Procedures consist of zero or more expressions separated by newlines or semicolons. Icon programs consist of one or more procedure definitions, and execution begins by calling the procedure named main. * ⚓ [Old] Mitchell Software Engineering ☛ Mitchell_Software_Engineering_- -_The_Icon_Programming_Language⠀⇛ Here's a simple example of Icon -- a program that reads lines from standard input and prints the lines in reverse order (last line first; first line last): [...] * ⚓ Andrew Vittiglio ☛ The_“Good_Enough”_Lie_in_Engineering⠀⇛ In other words, “What we have now is good enough, but we’ll take a look later.” I’ve spent the last six months building dev tools for C2PA, and I’ve watched this pattern repeat across the ecosystem. The aphorism “perfect is the enemy of good” has become a conversational cheat code morphing engineering rigor into obstructionism, framing the critic as an idealist and the defender as a pragmatist. But after seeing it used to dismiss security failures, I’ve come to a different conclusion: Perfect isn’t the enemy of good. “Good enough” is the enemy of “actually good.” * ⚓ Daniel Beskin ☛ What's_the_Point_of_Learning_Functional_Programming?_- Daniel_Beskin's_Blog⠀⇛ But let's rewind for a bit of background first. As I found myself standing in front of a frightened looking class, reviewing some Haskell basics, I was starting to feel guilty1 for overwhelming them with all these foreign new concepts. Recursion, currying, function composition, algebraic data types, and the list goes on and on. So it felt natural to give them an escape hatch. I mean, if all you know in life are loops, how can you possibly make do with just recursion? So when it was time for a new homework assignment we gave them a hint along the following lines: [...] * ⚓ AdventOfCode ☛ Day_7_-_Advent_of_Code_2025⠀⇛ To repair the teleporter, you first need to understand the beam-splitting properties of the tachyon manifold. In this example, a tachyon beam is split a total of 21 times. Analyze your manifold diagram. How many times will the beam be split? * ⚓ AdventOfCode ☛ Day_8_-_Advent_of_Code_2025⠀⇛ This list describes the position of 20 junction boxes, one per line. Each position is given as X,Y,Z coordinates. So, the first junction box in the list is at X=162, Y=817, Z=812. To save on string lights, the Elves would like to focus on connecting pairs of junction boxes that are as close together as possible according to straight-line distance. In this example, the two junction boxes which are closest together are 162,817,812 and 425,690,689. * ⚓ Yordi Verkroost ☛ Advent_of_Code_2025_-_Day_7⠀⇛ I'm actually not going part by part in this post today. I've refactored a lot of code for part two and re-added logic for part one back into it. So let's go backwards and start with part two. * ⚓ Juan J Martínez ☛ Learning_OCaml⠀⇛ Long story short, it is not easy to cross-compile projects in Haskell. For example, I would like to build a Windows binary in my Linux machine, and because how GHC –the Haskell compiler– is designed, it isn’t trivial. I managed to cross-compile using WINE, and definitely you can do it with Nix; but I my opinion, if a problem requires this type of solution, it is a problem. * ⚓ Chloé Vulquin ☛ Squint_Testing_Lisps⠀⇛ Now, almost 20 years later, we have more hindsight. Typical responses to it are to say that the squint test makes no sense for a programming language. Now a rejection of the premise is all fine and good, but I want to do more. This is because I think that lisps actually pass the squint test. * ⚓ Nova ☛ OOPs,_I'm_so_dead!⠀⇛ Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking: what's this data- oriented design zealot doing, opening their mouth about object- oriented programming? Don't they know that OOP is alive, well, and keeps spawning more successful projects than any other programming paradigm ever did, like Shub-Niggurath the Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young spawns progeny? And don't they know that basically everything in programming is actually OOP, including their favourite ML and DOD features? So, let's start off with some clarifications: [...] * ⚓ Jakob Nybo Nissen ☛ Review:_Julia_trimming_for_Advent_of_Code_2025⠀⇛ Advent of Code is a great opportunity to play around with programming to learn something new. This year, I didn't want to try solving it in Rust or Zig again. Instead, I've test driven a few experimental features of Julia that I haven't yet dared to use production code: Trimming, JETLS and a few not-so- established packages. This post is a review of trimming, in its current, experimental, state. * ⚓ Colin M Strickland ☛ Regular_Expressions_and_counting_lengths⠀⇛ I was messing around with regular expressions on some default interpreters on my Debian machine, wondering about what the default encoding behaviour for string literals might be. As you do. So, given a string with a "pesky foreign accent" in it, how many characters do various languages think it has? * ⚓ [Old] Mitchell Software Engineering ☛ Programming_with_GNU_Emacs_Lisp⠀⇛ GNU Emacs is a full-featured text editor that contains a complete Lisp system. Emacs Lisp is used for a variety of things: [...] * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Arne Sommer ☛ The_Good_Shuffle_with_Raku⠀⇛ You are given a string. Write a script to return the number of good substrings of length three in the given string. A string is good if there are no repeated characters. o ⚓ Rakulang ☛ Day_7_–_Allowing_for_fewer_dollars_–_Raku_Advent Calendar⠀⇛ When back home, Lizzybel thought: “But the Raku Programming Language is no stranger to sigilless constants” my constant answer = 42; “is but an example”. “And with a little trick, you could even make sigilless variables”, she was mumbling to herself: [...] o ⚓ Perl ☛ Perl_Advent_Calendar_2025_-_Abstract_storage_of_Christmas letters⠀⇛ Next, he wrote a small Mojolicious application which implemented the LetterStore service. It contained two actions - /letters/count to fetch the total number of letters, and /letters to fetch them. To avoid returning too many letters at once, he decided that they will be returned in pages, 5 at a time. The action to return them returns cursor, which may return an index of the next letter to fetch if there are more letters. This value can be appended into the action URL to fetch the next page: [...] o ⚓ Perl ☛ Perl_Advent_Calendar_2025_-_Perl_who_is_Naughty_or_Nice?⠀⇛ The data from Data::Random::Contact is actually generated from Fakenamegenerator.com. To make the test data as close to production, Chaz wrote the script to generate at least 200 records. o ⚓ The Weekly Challenge ☛ Advent_Calendar_-_December_7,_2025⠀⇛ This post presents my solutions to the Perl Weekly Challenge 309. I keep doing the Perl Weekly Challenge in order to mantain my coding skills in good shape, as well as in order to learn new things, with particular regard to Raku, a language that I love. This week, I solved the following tasks: The PL/Perl implementations are very similar to a pure Perl implementation, even if the PostgreSQL environment could involve some more constraints. Similarly, the PL/ PgSQL implementations help me keeping my PostgreSQL programming skills in good shape. o ⚓ The Weekly Challenge ☛ Advent_Calendar_-_December_8,_2024⠀⇛ The majory of the work can be done in a single line. Conveniently the tr function returns the number of characters effected by the command. For our purposes that means telling tr to delete all numerals. We then check if the number of numerals removed is even inside of a grep block. The number of matches is then returned. Note the one catch, in order to use tr we need to assign $_ to a temporary value, $x. Otherwise we would get an error Modification of a read-only value. o ⚓ [Old] Colin M Strickland ☛ Perl's_decline_was_cultural⠀⇛ I can't imagine Perl disappearing entirely in my lifetime. I can remember entire programming environments and languages that are much, much deader than I can ever see Perl becoming. [...] Perl also got to be if not first, then certainly early to dominate a new market paradigm. Plenty of things never manage that. It's hard to see Perl as anything other than an enormous success on these terms. Perl innovated and influenced languages that came after in some truly significant ways. * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ ARIMA-Black-Scholes:_Semi-Parametric_Market_price_of_risk for_Risk-Neutral_Pricing_(code_+_preprint)⠀⇛ In quantitative finance, pricing derivatives often requires working under a risk-neutral measure (Q) rather than the real-world physical measure (P). While the Girsanov theorem provides a theoretical framework for this change of measure, practical implementation can be challenging—especially for complex models like stochastic volatility with jumps. This blog post demonstrates a semi-parametric approach that bridges classical time series modeling with risk- neutral pricing. We’ll show how to: [...] * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ [Old] Mitchell Software Engineering ☛ Computing_with_Pipes_(Just Pipe_It!) [PDF]⠀⇛ One way to solve a problem is to write a program but some problems can be solved by simply connecting programs. Pipes let us connect programs. An essential notion underlying pipes is that of standard input and standard output. A pipe connects the standard output of one program to the standard input of another. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Vincent Bernat ☛ Compressing_embedded_files_in_Go⠀⇛ Go’s embed feature lets you bundle static assets into an executable, but it stores them uncompressed. This wastes space: a web interface with documentation can bloat your binary by dozens of megabytes. A proposition to optionally enable compression was declined because it is difficult to handle all use cases. One solution? Put all the assets into a ZIP archive! 🗜️ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2328 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/08/Review_FreeBSD_15_0.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/08/Review_FreeBSD_15_0.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Review: FreeBSD 15.0⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 08, 2025 Quoting: DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD. — While I was a little disappointed FreeBSD 15.0 did not receive the ability to enable a desktop environment right from the system installer, I can understand the project's hesitation. It's a big shift for a project to go from command line only to offering a pre- configured desktop and, as I pointed out in the above paragraphs, the FreeBSD team approaches changes cautiously. For now, people who want to experience FreeBSD with a pre-configured desktop can run GhostBSD. The other planned change, the move to a unified pkgbase, went smoothly. I like that both approaches, package sets and pkg, are available at install time. I appreciate the chance to unify updates under one tool (which simplifies my work a little), and I like that packages for the core system are clearly marked to help us avoid attempting to remove critical components. My one disappointment was pkg does not create new boot environments when it updates packages on ZFS volumes. Perhaps this addition will be added in future versions, but for now people running pkgbase systems will need to perform snapshots manually or schedule them. Apart from these changes, FreeBSD has remained pleasantly the same. I found setting up a desktop environment just a bit easier this time around. I couldn't put my finger exactly on why, but I think either FreeBSD has streamlined some permission issues or the handbook has been updated to make the process of enabling a desktop clearer. FreeBSD is a solid, general purpose operating system that, despite getting less attention than its Linux cousins, continues to be a capable operating system with a lot of useful features - multiple desktop environments, an advanced filesystem, jails for isolating processes, and a fast package manager that provides access to tens of thousands of third-party ports. I don't think FreeBSD will appeal to people who want to be on the cutting-edge of technology or who want to have a desktop system with a quick and easy setup process. It's more of a workhorse, a powerful, efficient operating system with no flash, but offering reliable software backed by useful documentation.

A more narrowly scoped project makes will hopefully make it easier to keep them working. Now instead of apt-get install guix they use the official Guix guix-install.sh approach. Read more about that effort in the announcement of Debian with Guix. * ⚓ Iustin_Pop:_Yes,_still_alive!⠀⇛ Yeah, again three months have passed since my last (trivial) post, and I really don’t know where the time has flown. I suppose the biggest problem was the long summer vacation, which threw me off-track, and then craziness started. Work work work, no time for anything, which kept me fully busy in August, and then “you should travel”. So mid-September I went on my first business trip since Covid, again to Kirkland, which in itself was awesome. Flew out Sunday, and as I was concerned I was going to lose too much fitness—had a half-marathon planned on the weekend after the return—I ran every morning of the four days I was there. And of course, on the last day, I woke up even earlier (05:30 AM), went out to run before sunrise, intending to do a very simple “run along the road that borders the lake for 2.5K, then back”. And right at the farthest point, a hundred metres before my goal of turning around, I tripped, started falling, and as I was falling, I hit—sideways—a metal pole. I was in a bus station, it was the pole that has the schedule at the top, and I hit it at relatively full speed, right across my left-side ribs. The crash took the entire air out of my lungs, and I don’t remember if I ever felt pain/sensation like that—I was seriously not able to breathe for 20 seconds or so, and I was wondering if I’m going to pass out at this rate. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2456 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/08/Stable_kernels_Linux_6_17_11_Linux_6_12_61_Linux_6_6_119_Linux_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/08/Stable_kernels_Linux_6_17_11_Linux_6_12_61_Linux_6_6_119_Linux_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Stable kernels: Linux 6.17.11, Linux 6.12.61, Linux 6.6.119, Linux 6.1.159, Linux 5.15.197, and Linux 5.10.247⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 08, 2025 I'm announcing the release of the 6.17.11 kernel.

However, no system is truly immune to malware, and blindly following instructions online can easily break something on your system if you're not cautious. That is where immutable distros can save the day. One of the big appeals of the mainstream Linux distros over more niche options is the abundance of support for them. Whether you're looking for an app, trying to troubleshoot an issue, or just looking to customize something, you'll have more documentation than you could possibly ever read at your fingertips. Their repos contain thousands upon thousands of apps, and support for Windows apps has only gotten better with time. However, all of these Linux distros have a glaring problem: They're pretty easy to break.

idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Lighttpd_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Lighttpd (pronounced “Lighty”) stands as one of the most efficient and lightweight web servers available today. This high-performance server excels at serving static content while consuming minimal system resources, making it an ideal choice for resource-constrained environments, embedded systems, and high-traffic websites. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Puppet_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Managing multiple servers manually becomes increasingly challenging as your infrastructure grows. Puppet offers a powerful solution for automating configuration management across your entire infrastructure. This comprehensive guide walks you through installing and configuring Puppet Server and Agent on Debian 13 Trixie, enabling you to manage your systems efficiently from a centralized location. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Puppet_on_Rocky_GNU/Linux_10⠀⇛ Configuration management has become essential for modern IT infrastructure.

Rocky GNU/Linux 10, as a robust enterprise- grade distribution, provides an excellent foundation for Puppet deployment. * ⚓ Sean McPherson ☛ CSS_nesting_is_(almost)_ready⠀⇛ I've been hearing a lot about CSS nesting, but I figured that it was still years away from being ready for use even on a site like this. * ⚓ Cassidy Williams ☛ The_what,_how,_and_why_of_CSS_clamp()⠀⇛ CSS clamp() is cool and you should use it. In a sentence, clamp() lets you assign a value to a CSS property between a minimum and a maximum range, and uses a preferred value in that range. It’s really helpful for responsive layouts and typography! * ⚓ Markup from Hell ☛ Controlling_dialogs_and_popovers_with_the_Invoker Commands_API_-_HTMHell⠀⇛ The Invoker Commands API adds new attributes to the
