It goes out of its way not to link to other sites if they contain profanity. It also does not contain any forms of nudity and it has long been that way. It makes the site suitable for educational purposes and "Safe for Children" (whatever one means by that). Some people's style isn't the same as ours. They've managed_to_make_GNU/Linux or_technology_"NSFW". Heck, the person who makes all the important decisions at Microsoft ("the man still effectively runs Microsoft behind the scenes," as a person put it some hours ago in IRC, citing this_Microsoft-connected_site) is strongly connected to a provider of underage sex. Somehow_we're_meant_to_think_this_is_normal. Yesterday we noticed that in a new article the BBC, bribed by this person (Bill Epsteingate), tries to cover up for Bill after he did a photo op with 'prince' Andrew and with Jeffrey Epstein, a_very_close_friend_of_his. Corrupted media, which takes payments from such horrible people, is sold to us as "family- friendly", even if in practice it helps cover up sexual exploitation of children. There is nothing more sickening than media that does this "talking down" to (or on) other sites, which are in fact not being paid to cover up for old perverts looking for illegal sex. Judge people by their actions, not their words. █ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⢀⣴⣶⣶⣶⣄⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⢀⣤⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠈⠻⢿⣿⠿⠋⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⣠⣴⣶⣶⣄⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⡿⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠁⠈⠈⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⣿⣷⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⠀⢠⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠘⠿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 221 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/14/Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/14/Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Best Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 14, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Clojure_code⦈_ * ⚓ 6_Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Clojure_Linter_Tools_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ A linter is a tool used in software development to analyze source code for potential errors, stylistic issues, and adherence to coding standards. It essentially acts as a static code analyzer, examining the code without actually executing it. Linters help developers catch issues early in the development cycle, improving code quality and maintainability Linters are useful tools for maintaining code quality and consistency in your Clojure applications. They analyze code for potential issues, enforce coding standards, and help catch errors before they are pushed into production. Linters are not necessarily a quick fix, can be a distraction, and it’s not inconceivable that they may not be helpful with old, large code bases. This article picks some useful tools to help you fix Clojure code. Here’s our verdict captured in a legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart. Only free and open source software is eligible for inclusion here. * ⚓ OpenSearch_-_enterprise-grade_search_and_observability_suite_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ OpenSearch is a community-driven search and analytics suite that makes it easy to ingest, search, visualize, and analyze data. Developers build with OpenSearch for use cases such as application search, log analytics, data observability, data ingestion, and more. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ gitlogue_-_cinematic_Git_commit_replay_tool_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ gitlogue is a cinematic Git commit replay tool for the terminal, turning your Git history into a living, animated story. Watch commits unfold with realistic typing animations, syntax highlighting, and file tree transitions, transforming code changes into a visual experience. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Say_-_terminal‑first_voice_and_video_call_utility_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Say is a terminal‑first voice and video call utility that builds an embedded Yggdrasil node via ygg and speaks directly to other peers over the Ygg overlay network. Audio is captured with malgo (miniaudio), encoded as G.722, and optionally sent via UDP for lower latency. Video frames are sourced through gocam, compressed then rendered in the current terminal session using Unicode glyphs. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ AAAAXY_-_nonlinear_2D_puzzle_platformer_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ AAAAXY is a nonlinear 2D puzzle platformer taking place in impossible spaces. Although your general goal is reaching the surprising end of the game, you are encouraged to set your own goals while playing. Exploration will be rewarded, and secrets await you! So jump and run around, and enjoy losing your sense of orientation in this World of Wicked Weirdness. Find out what Van Vlijmen will make you do.

Built around an ESP32 microcontroller and a distinctive dual-screen design, the device focuses on ownership, repairability, and offline reading without DRM or cloud dependencies. The most striking aspect of Diptyx is its book-like form factor. Two 5.83-inch black-and-white e-ink displays are joined by a hinge, allowing the device to close like a physical book and protect the screens without requiring a case. When opened, the dual-screen layout provides a combined screen area of 210 cm², noticeably larger than most single-screen e-readers in its class. Physical buttons handle page navigation, eliminating the need for touch input.

It sounds fancy, but it is conceptually very simple: Flatpak reads configuration files from several directories to determine which applications should be pre-installed. It then installs any missing applications and removes any that are no longer supposed to be pre-installed (with some small caveats). For example, the following configuration tells Flatpak that the devel branch of the app org.test.Foo from remotes which serve the collection org.test.Collection, and the app org.test.Bar from any remote should be installed: [...] * ⚓ GPU_Confidential_Computing_using_Oracle_Linux_9⠀⇛ GPUs offer unparalleled computing power and are the backbone of today’s computations at scale. Organizations leverage GPUs to train their models, run simulations and perform data analysis. These computations might utilize sensitive and top-secret data, which require special protection at each step. Data must be encrypted when sent across the network (in-transit) and in storage (at-rest). Confidential Computing adds protection of data during computations (in-use) by creating an isolated and trusted environment where data cannot be read or altered by the third party. Enabling Confidential Computing requires a couple of configuration steps but no code changes to the compute workload. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 827 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/14/Improving_the_Site_After_21_5_Years.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/14/Improving_the_Site_After_21_5_Years.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Improving the Site After 21.5+ Years⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 14, 2025, updated Dec 14, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇A_Toast_to_Tux_Machines⦈_ Shown on the left is the 15-year anniversary celebration (before COVID-19) Today we did a great deal of reshuffling at "the office", which we also sometimes jokingly call "TR HQ" or "TM HQ". There were about 100 changes at the desk and around the desk. I also swapped to another laptop for writing articles. The new location lets me look outside at the sky while I am typing. It's a very neat setup with 2-meter-tall double doors and the City Stadium in the background. 4 days ago this site turned 21.5 years and we're now just 17 days away from the new year. Yesterday I purchased a lot of coffee; it'll need grinding, which means it'll be fresher when used. Next year can be another record year. If you appreciate the work we do in this site, then spread the word. Also consider accessing our Gemini_Edition, which attracted 180,000 requests this past week (and many millions this year). To us, Gemini Protocol is very strategic as we fill a real need - that of GNU/Linux news syndication - in Geminispace.

I love the diversity of Android hardware, and I get on just fine using these newer form-factors to replace my PC. Thing is, these devices tend to reach end-of-life pretty quickly. Google and Samsung may have announced seven years of support for their newest devices, but that doesn't apply to their older phones. And most of us own Android phones and tablets that stop receiving updates after just a couple of years (if that). You can use a conventional Windows PC or MacBook for years, but Linux manages to outdo both. In the Linux world, if your hardware is powerful enough to run the latest software, then you can install it. You only need to buy a new device when your machine falls apart or is too slow to keep up. That's the way I like it.

When I couldn't use the service console to solve a service issue, rebooting usually did the trick. After switching to Linux, I eventually experienced service problems that I had to troubleshoot and solve. The most annoying one was random network disconnection and reconnection. Guess what? Because I'd grown so used to running the service manager from Windows' graphical interface, I expected Linux to have a graphical service manager. Can you imagine my surprise when Ubuntu showed no results when I searched for services? If you do a similar search on Windows 11, the Services tool is right there as the best match.

The amount of Rust code in the kernel is ""exploding"", having grown by a factor of five over the last year. There has been an increase in the amount of cooperation between kernel developers and Rust language developers, giving the kernel project significant influence over the development of the language itself. The Rust community, he said, is committed to helping the kernel project. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1076 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/14/Open_Hardware_Modding_HealthyPi_RISC_V_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/14/Open_Hardware_Modding_HealthyPi_RISC_V_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: HealthyPi, RISC-V, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 14, 2025 * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ RISC-V-based_ESP32-P4_handheld_integrates_AMOLED_display and_LoRa⠀⇛ Measuring about 63 × 109 × 22 mm, the T-Display P4 is built around the ESP32-P4, which combines a dual-core RISC-V CPU running at up to 360–400 MHz with an additional low-power RISC- V core operating at 40 MHz. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ HealthyPi_6_provides_open-source_biosignal_acquisition for_research_and_education⠀⇛ The platform is built around a tri-core processing architecture. The main controller is STMicroelectronics’ STM32H757, combining an Arm Cortex-M7 core running at up to 480 MHz with a Cortex-M4 core at 240 MHz for real-time signal processing tasks. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Jetson_Thor_industrial_PC_pairs_25GbE_networking_with optional_GMSL2_camera_support⠀⇛ The platform is based on the NVIDIA Jetson T5000 module, which is specified to deliver up to 2070 TFLOPS of AI performance using FP4 sparse precision. The module integrates 128GB of 256- bit LPDDR5X memory with a quoted bandwidth of 273GB/s, enabling support for large models, multi-camera pipelines, and sensor fusion workloads. * ⚓ PC World ☛ Your_monitor's_USB_ports_are_hiding_secret_powers⠀⇛ By using the monitor as a central USB hub, you can shorten cable runs, organize devices efficiently, and increase accessibility. High-quality mice, mechanical keyboards, or graphics tablets benefit from this, as short, direct connections often provide more stable data transfers and lower latency. * ⚓ Matthew Brunelle ☛ Review_of_HackerBox_0121_-_MCU_Lab_2025⠀⇛ Now the trade off of course for the ESP32 is the higher power draw. The STM32 and the NRF52 can work better for low and ultra low power use cases. The RP2040 is a nice affordable option, though I hadn't realized there is no internal flash. * ⚓ Chuck Carroll ☛ Resolving_I/O_Errors_on_RPI5_with_NVMe⠀⇛ I have an NVMe base for my Raspberry Pi 5 and it's been running for a little over a year without any issues. A couple of months ago I switched to Almalinux and noticed that I could SSH into it right after it booted, but around 30-40 minutes after boot, I could ping from another host on my network but could no longer SSH. When I restarted and was directly consoled in, everything was fine until that ~40 minute mark and I started getting a ton of I/O errors. I couldn't even run basic commands like "ls" or "cd". It took me a couple months of off-and-on fiddling to track down the problem. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1161 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/14/Plans_for_KDE_Plasma_6_6_and_GNOME_Will_Reject_Shell_Extensions.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/14/Plans_for_KDE_Plasma_6_6_and_GNOME_Will_Reject_Shell_Extensions.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Plans for KDE Plasma 6.6 and GNOME Will Reject Shell Extensions With AI-Generated So-called 'Code' (Slop)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 14, 2025 * § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ o ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ KDE_Plasma_6.6_Will_Enhance_Display_Handling_and Scaling_on_Wayland⠀⇛ One of the most visible new changes in Plasma 6.6 will be vastly improved screen mirroring support in the Wayland session.

Just me then? Actually, this “population count” operation can be pretty useful in some cases like data compression algorithms, cryptography, chess, error correction, and sparse matrix representations. How might one write some simple C to return the number of one bits in an unsigned 64 bit value? * ⚓ Matt Godbolt ☛ Unrolling_loops_—_Matt_Godbolt’s_blog⠀⇛ A common theme for helping the compiler optimise is to give it as much information as possible. Using the right signedness of types, targeting the right CPU model, keeping loop iterations independent, and for today’s topic: telling it how many loop iterations there are going to be ahead of time. Taking the range-based sum example from our earlier post on loops, but using a std::span1, we can explore this ability. Let’s take a look at what happens if we use a dynamically-sized span - we’d expect it to look very similar to the std::vector version: [...] * ⚓ Matt Godbolt ☛ Induction_variables_and_loops_—_Matt_Godbolt’s_blog⠀⇛ Loop optimisations often surprise us. What looks expensive might be fast, and what looks clever might be slow. Yesterday we saw how the compiler canonicalises loops so it (usually) doesn’t matter how you write them, they’ll come out the same. What happens if we do something a little more expensive inside the loop? * ⚓ Matt Godbolt ☛ Multiplying_our_way_out_of_division_—_Matt_Godbolt’s blog⠀⇛ I occasionally give presentations to undergraduates, and one of my favourites is taking the students on a journey of optimising a “binary to decimal” routine. There are a number of tricks, which I won’t go in to here, but the opening question I have is “how do you even turn a number into its ASCII representation?” If you’ve never stopped to think about it, take a moment now to do so, it can be a fun problem. * ⚓ Matt Godbolt ☛ ARM's_barrel_shifter_tricks_—_Matt_Godbolt’s_blog⠀⇛ Yesterday we talked about how the compiler handles multiplication with a constant on x86. x86 has some architectural quirks (like lea) that give the compiler quite some latitude for clever optimisations. But do other processors have similar fun quirks? Today we’re going to look at what code gets generated for the ARM processor. Let’s see how our examples come out: [...] * ⚓ Yordi Verkroost ☛ Advent_of_Code_2025:_Waking_Up_With_Puzzles⠀⇛ Advent of Code has become a yearly thing for me. It’s a way to keep my algorithmic and data structure skills up, and something I look forward to every December. Over the years, I’ve used it to learn a new programming language: I’ve done editions in Elixir, Java, TypeScript, and others. But the last few years, including this one, I’ve just used Python. * ⚓ Tymscar ☛ I_Tried_Gleam_for_Advent_of_Code,_and_I_Get_the_Hype⠀⇛ It is one of the few tech traditions I never get bored of, even after doing it for a long time. I like the time pressure. I like the community vibe. I like that every December I can pick one language and go all in. This year, I picked Gleam. * ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ I’m_a_tool_builder_at_heart⠀⇛ Somebody needs to build the tools we use. The only way we can ignore them as implementation details is to let others — often corporates whose incentives don’t align with ours — to decide what tools we have and how we can use them. That’s a core value in IndieWeb community for me. It’s difficult to take ownership of data and content and the control of them if we don’t build tools that allow that. * ⚓ Henrique Dias ☛ An_Update_on_Processing_Bosch's_eBike_Flow_FIT_Files⠀⇛ At the time, I wrote a script to fix the FIT files and consolidate the records, and I’ve been using it since. At first, I was importing the workouts with HealthFit, but then I noticed there was something weird happening with the display of total calories, so I ended up using RunGap. It seemed like that when importing it with HealthFit, the number of calories was being greatly reduced if there was pauses, but not with RunGap. Both of these are paid apps. I like supporting small individual developers, and paying for a yearly subscription if their app brings good value. And I pay for both of these. However, RunGap’s yearly package has just expired, and I thought: it’s a bit too expensive just for importing files. So I decided to take another stab at this, and try to solve the problem. * ⚓ Abhinav Sarkar ☛ Solving_Advent_of_Code_2025_in_Janet:_Days_5–8⠀⇛ 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 December 5–8. * ⚓ The New Stack ☛ Three_Core_Principles_for_Sustainable_Platform_Design⠀⇛ Applying product thinking makes it clear that a platform should not attempt to solve every use case, nor should it force a single narrow path. Instead, platform products are a curated set of solutions that encode what is unique to the business but common enough across application teams to be worth sharing. A practical way to assess platform value is to test how well it can support three essential outcomes: [...] * ⚓ Victor Zverovich ☛ Faster_double-to-string_conversion⠀⇛ There comes a time in every software engineer’s life when they come up with a new binary-to-decimal floating-point conversion method. I guess my time has come. I just wrote one, mostly over a weekend: [...] * ⚓ [Repeat] Liam Proven ☛ What's_the_point_of_lightweight_code_with_modern computers?⠀⇛ I think there are many. Some examples: [...] * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Un-debunking_the_GAMLSS_myth⠀⇛ Generalized additive models for location, scale, and shape (GAMLSS) are popular for estimating reference equations, e.g., for lung function measurements. * § Server⠀➾ o ⚓ Web Performance Calendar ☛ Intro_to_Performance_of_React_Server Components_-_Web_Performance_Calendar⠀⇛ Have you heard of React Server Components? Even if you don’t work with React daily, you probably have. It’s been the hottest topic in the last few years in the React Community. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Rakulang ☛ Day_12_–_Mathematician’s_Yahtzee_–_Raku_Advent Calendar⠀⇛ Santa was playing and losing yet another game of Yahtzee with Mrs. Claus and the elves when a thought occurred to him: why don’t you get points for rolling the first 5 digits of the Fibonacci sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5)? For that matter, why isn’t there a mathematician’s version of Yahtzee where you get points for rolling all even numbers, all odd, etc. After a bit of brainstorming, Santa came up with the following rules: [...] o ⚓ Perl ☛ Perl_Advent_Calendar_2025_-_Thirty_Slices,_Twenty-Four Days:_How_Christmas_Was_Saved_By_Abandoning_Estimation⠀⇛ Day 1, Vasco and the team listed everything the system needed to do. Then they broke it down: [...] * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Smoothed_ROC_Curves,_Calculus_and_Curvature⠀⇛ A common use of ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) curves in data science is to evaluate performance of binary classifiers. In this use case, the data set is usually a sample from a population and so the ROC curve itself is a random object. Although it is not common to have multiple sample ROC curves constructed from applying the same classifier to multiple sample data sets from the same population, it would be interesting to be able to construct a mean ROC curve from multiple sample ROC curves. One way to go about this would be to use the theory of functional data analysis (FDA) to construct curves from the sample points in such a way that the curves themselves become the random objects of study. The first step in the FDA process typically is to use splines to construct a set of basis functions to smooth the sample points into functional objects. In this post, I am going to explore this first step of smoothing ROC curves, and point out that once you have a smoothed ROC curve, it is possible to use calculus and concepts from basic differential geometry to analyze the curves. The flow of the post is as follows: [...] * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Redowan Delowar ☛ Tap_compare_testing_for_service_migration⠀⇛ Typically, you don’t have to build all the plumbing by hand. Proxies like Envoy, NGINX, and HAProxy, or a service mesh like Istio, can help you mirror traffic, capture tap events, and feed them into a shadow service. I left out tool-specific workflows so that the core concept doesn’t get obscured. Tap compare doesn’t remove all the risk from a migration, but it moves a lot of it into a place you can see: mismatched payloads, noisy writes, and gaps in business logic. Once those are understood, switching over to the new service is less of a big bang and more of a boring configuration change, followed by trimming a pile of *Tap code you no longer need. o ⚓ [Old] Julien Cretel ☛ Pure_vs._impure_iterators_in_Go⠀⇛ Until recently, the data structures over which you could iterate via a for-range loop were limited to arrays (either directly or through a pointer), slices, strings, maps, channels, and integers. However, in the wake of Go 1.18’s support for parametric polymorphism (a.k.a. “generics”), Go 1.23 standardised the way of defining custom iterators, saw the addition of the iter package in the standard library, and welcomed a couple of iterator factories (i.e. functions or methods that return an iterator) in the slices and maps packages.

Linux User ☛ RapidRAW_Basics_–_How_to_cull_your_photographs⠀⇛ At the end of the day, after a nice photo session in the woods or a professional photo portrait shoot, many of us can’t wait to get back home, sit down behind our computer, plug in our memory card, and start working on the new images we have captured. The first step is usually downloading and organizing these images in our photo library, like I have explained in my previous article. And now you maybe want to start to edit your images, but before you begin, there’s an important stage that often determines the quality of your final collection: decide which photographs are keepers and which aren’t worth keeping. This process of assessing your photographs is called culling. In this tutorial, I will explain how to cull your photographs in RapidRAW and what tools you have available to support this process. * ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Apache_Kafka_on_Rocky_GNU/Linux_10⠀⇛ Apache Kafka has become the backbone of modern data architectures, powering real-time data pipelines and streaming applications for thousands of companies worldwide. This distributed streaming platform excels at handling high- throughput, fault-tolerant publish-subscribe messaging systems that process millions of events per second. * ⚓ LinuxTechi ☛ K8s_Deployments_vs_StatefulSets_vs_DaemonSets_Explained⠀⇛ In this guide, we will cover K8s Deployments vs StatefulSets vs DaemonSets Explained. * ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Fix_Screen_Brightness_in_EasySetup⠀⇛ The problem is reported in the forum: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=161579#p161579 Dcontrol is not builtin. Have fixed so that when choose "Screen Brightness" button in EasySetup, this will pop up: [...] * ⚓ Markup from Hell ☛ Hell_is_other_people's_markup_-_HTMHell⠀⇛ The markup might have been structurally fine, but it really took some effort to discern that that was the case. I had to go through various passes to work out what I was actually looking at to be able to make sense of things. The frustration led me to create the HTML De-crapulator, a tool that I would use many, many times in audits that I carried out for years after. But ... I still felt it could be more useful. The HTML De-Crapulator can provide many ways to simplify markup, such as: [...] * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ The_annoyances_of_the_traditional_Unix_'logger' program⠀⇛ The venerable 'logger' command has been around so long it's part of the Single Unix Specification (really, logger — log messages). Although syslog(3) is in 4.2 BSD (along with syslog (8), the daemon), it doesn't seem to have been until 4.3 BSD that we got logger(1), with more or less the same arguments as the POSIX version. Unfortunately, if you want to do more than throw messages into your syslog and actually create well- formed, useful syslog messages, 'logger' has some annoyances and flaws. The flaw is front and center in the manual page and the POSIX specification, if you read the description of the -i option carefully: [...] * ⚓ Web Performance Calendar ☛ How_to_load_CSS_(fast)_-_Web_Performance Calendar⠀⇛ But if you wanted to load CSS fast, all of the sudden you run into trouble… Assuming you have a traditional web app (or what the kids call Multi-Page App/MPA), you now need to make tradeoffs: [...] ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2052 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/14/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/14/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 14, 2025, updated Dec 14, 2025 * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ COSMIC's_big_release,_the_new_Kali_Linux,_and_more:_Linux news_roundup⠀⇛ This was a quieter week in the Linux ecosystem, but there's still some exciting news, especially if you're a fan of Pop!_OS and the COSMIC desktop. Here are the biggest stories you might have missed. * ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ I_love_the_Linux_terminal,_but_I_still_recommend_the GUI⠀⇛ It's almost impossible to think of Linux without the terminal. This relationship spans decades, and for good reason. Scripting for automation, clarity with pipes, and the speed and control the terminal provides can't be rivaled by a graphical interface. However, over the years, I have come to appreciate the GUI for a different kind of precision—not necessarily as a compromise. Visual feedback is important, and mastery of Linux means knowing when to reach for the terminal and when to embrace the GUI. * ⚓ Paul Thurrott ☛ Lets_finish_setting_up_your_PC⠀⇛ I have a framework laptop 13. It usually runs Linux. However, over the last month i decided to run windows 11. In general I was able to configure the laptop to minimize some of the nagware and scareware screens. I have a local account installation and I uninstalled onedrive. Everything had been fine until I get a strange boot up screen about “finishing my install”. With only options of Continue or remind me in 3 days. My question… what happens in 3 days? Does the laptop get erased and return to Linux or will there be a way to tell windows I accept responsibility for my actions. * § Kernel Space / File Systems / Virtualization⠀➾ o ⚓ SDN Clinic ☛ Linux_Routing_Fundamentals⠀⇛ Linux has been a first class networking citizen for quite a long time now. Every system running a Linux kernel out of the box has at least three routing tables and is supporting multiple mechanisms for advanced routing features from policy based routing (PBR), to VRFs(-lite), and network namespaces (NetNS). Each of these provide different levels or separation and features, with PBR being the oldest one and VRFs the most recent addition (starting with kernel 4.3). This article is the first part of the Linux Routing series and will provide an overview of the basics and plumbings of Linux routing tables, what happens when an IP packet is sent from or through a Linux box, and how to figure out why. It’s the baseline for future articles on PBR, VRFs, and NetNSes, their differences as well and applications. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Mentra_Brings_Open_Smart_Glasses_OS_With_Cross- Compat⠀⇛ There are a few very different pathways to building a product, and we gotta applaud the developers taking care to take the open-source path. Today’s highlight is [Mentra], who is releasing an open-source smart glasses OS for their own and others’ devices, letting you develop your smart glasses ideas just once, a single codebase applicable for multiple models. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ UP_Xtreme_ARL_Hey_Hi_(AI)_Dev_Kit_review_– Benchmarks_and_Hey_Hi_(AI)_workloads_on_an_defective_chip maker_Intel_Core_Ultra_5_225H_Arrow_Lake_SBC⠀⇛ That’s the last part of my review of three Intel- based UP Hey Hi (AI) development kits, and after testing the UP TWL Hey Hi (AI) Dev Kit with an defective chip maker Intel N150 CPU and the UP Squared Pro TWL Hey Hi (AI) Dev Kit with an defective chip maker Intel N150 CPU coupled with an Hailo-8L M.2 Hey Hi (AI) accelerator, I’ll now report my experience with the high-end UP Xtreme ARL Hey Hi (AI) Dev Kit with a 14-core defective chip maker Intel Core Ultra 5 225H “Arrow Lake” single board computer with defective chip maker Intel Arc 130T graphics delivering up to a combined 83 TOPS of Hey Hi (AI) performance. I’ve followed the same procedure as with the previous models, using the pre-installed Ubuntu 24.04 Pro operating system to report system information, run some benchmarks, and go through Hey Hi (AI) workloads using Nx Meta and the AAEON UP Hey Hi (AI) Toolkit system. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2184 ➮ Generation completed at 02:49, i.e. 18 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
