32 bit). Hopefully, this will be upgradable via repos to final. Bullet point notes for now. * based on Debian 13 ‘trixie’ * 4 modern systemd-free init systems – runit (default), s6-rc, s6-66 and dinit (plus a golden oldie – the ever reliable sysVinit added) * new default look * turnstile included on the iso, but disabled when booting live * usual ‘antiX magic’ * you *should* be able to boot live in the non-default init and it *should* then become the default after install. Please note that user intervention will be required more than previous versions of antiX, especially if not using the default runit option. This means that users will need to add any needed service files for the init they are using eg network-manager will also need runit-service-network-manager (and the equivalents for dinit, s6-rc and s6-66 if available).

Many users who would have happily abandoned Windows have, reluctantly, stayed for the video games or had to deal with dual booting. In the past few years, though, Linux support for games—including those that only have Windows versions—has improved dramatically, if one is willing to put the pieces together. Bazzite, an image-based Fedora derivative, is a project that aims to let users play games and use the Linux desktop with almost no assembly required. Bazzite is part of the Universal Blue project, which aims to provide ""the reliability of a Chromebook, but with the flexibility and power of a traditional Linux desktop"" via immutable Linux images based on Fedora. LWN covered another Universal Blue project, Bluefin, in December 2023. Each Universal Blue project is based on bootc images from the Universal Blue project's base images, which in turn are based on Fedora Atomic Desktops, or CentOS Stream images in the case of the long-term-support (LTS) release of Bluefin. Bazzite is relatively new to the scene: its first release was in November 2023, based on Fedora 38. The project takes its name from bazzite: a mineral that forms small blue crystals. It is designed to be similar to Valve's SteamOS, but more suitable for general desktop use. It is largely based on stock software from Fedora, but adds a number of packages to provide hardware drivers for gaming, including support for various game controllers, keyboards, and proprietary NVIDIA drivers. Bazzite also provides a custom kernel: the project uses the Fedora Always Ready (kernel-ark) repository that is used to develop Fedora Linux's kernels, and then applies a set of patches added for device support and performance optimizations for games. The project recently announced its Fall 2025 update based on Fedora 43, with support for new handheld gaming PCs and steering-wheel hardware.

But I digress, what I meant to say is that it was a no brainer to buy the cheapest XR glasses (< 250 USD), with 0% APR monthly instalments, the RayNeo Air 3s PRO (technically the non-pro is cheaper, but not for me at the time). In a sense, I blame Patola’s review of the nReal Air for bringing these kinds of tools to my attention. * ⚓ Dedoimedo ☛ DOSBox,_Linux_and_sound_problems_in_various_games⠀⇛ Every few months (or years), I get a bout of nostalgia, and I revisit my old DOS classics. More recently, I've played the lovely Panzer General turn-based war game and the spectacular F-16: Combat Pilot simulator. In both cases, I used DOSBox installed in Linux. While the former doesn't really change much, Linux distros come and go, and they bring somewhat different levels of support for the emulator along the way. Just days back, I decided to strap myself into the cockpit of WW2 planes in the amazing 1942: PAW simulator. In 2007, it worked splendidly. In 2025, I encountered a multitude of issues with both the sound and actual performance, which may sound surprising, but here we are. In today's tutorial, I would like to give you some tips on how you can enable music and sound in various games, especially if they have a somewhat flaky out-of- the-box experience.

Over the past several weeks, our sprints have been focused on delivery and consolidation to clear our plates for a fresh start in the New Year. Following our successful in-person work-week to discuss all things protocol, we’ve brought Exchange support (EWS) to our Monthly release channel, completed much of the final phases of the Account Hub experience, and laid the groundwork for what comes next. Alongside this feature work, the team has spent a significant amount of time adapting to upstream platform changes and supported our Services colleagues as we prepared for wider rollout. It’s been a period of steady progress, prioritization, and planning for the next major milestones. * ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ VLC_3.0.23_Media_Player_Released_With_Windows_Fixes_and Security_Updates⠀⇛ The new version focuses primarily on fixes rather than new functionality. Most of the changes target Windows, where the update resolves issues related to image display, security warnings, and OpenGL rendering. Alongside these platform- specific corrections, the release also introduces a minor enhancement to the reporting of audio codec information. On the security side, while VLC 3.0.22 already stood out as the release with the most security fixes in the project’s history, version 3.0.23 addresses additional security issues discovered since then. * ⚓ Wouter Groeneveld ☛ Properly_Preparing_Tea_While_Shaving_An_Emacs_Yak⠀⇛ Hey wow I’m typing this from Emacs! For the first time in more than a decade I decided to see if my beloved Sublime Text could be superseded with software that’s more than twice as old. It’s day four so far, and I’ve been nothing but confused in trying to get it up and running to my tastes, but the journey has kept me on my toes. I’ve disabled Evil mode for now, I don’t think I’m ready for that yet. * ⚓ PowerDNS ☛ PowerDNS_in_2025:_New_products_and_two_milestone anniversaries⠀⇛ The first milestone came during the first half of 2025. We celebrated a remarkable achievement that speaks volumes about the quality of our software: in over 10 years, we have not received a single Severity 1 support case from our customers. This achievement highlights the stability, security, and performance of our solutions. In network security and infrastructure, a reliable, high-performance DNS solution is critical for ensuring smooth, secure, and uninterrupted operations. * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ FOSS_Weekly_#25.51:_Pop_OS_24.04_Release,_Fresh_Editor, eBPF_Tools,_Cinnamon_6.6,_NTFSPlus_and_More_GNU/Linux_Stuff⠀⇛ There is a new editor which is easier than Nano as well. * § Events⠀➾ o ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_Blogs:_FSD_meeting_recap_2025-12-12⠀⇛ Check out the important work our volunteers accomplished at Friday's Free Software Directory (FSD) IRC meeting. * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Fake_"web_browsers"_and_their_(lack_of) HTTP_headers:_some_notes⠀⇛ It's hopefully not news to people that there is a plague of disguised web crawlers that are imitating web browsers (and not infrequently crawling from residential IPs, through various extremely questionable methods). However, many of these crawlers have only a skin-deep imitation of browsers, primarily done through their HTTP User-Agent header. This creates a situation where some of these crawlers can currently be detected (and blocked) because they either lack entirely or have non-browser values for other HTTP headers. I've been engaged in a little campaign to reduce the crawler presence here on Wandering Thoughts, so I've been experimenting with a number of HTTP header checks. Headers I'm currently looking at include: [...] o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Mozilla_Addons_Blog:_Presenting_2025_Firefox Extension_Developer_Award_Recipients⠀⇛ Extensions have long been at the heart of the Firefox — providing users with powerful options to personalize their browsing experience. Nearly half of all Firefox users have installed at least one extension. These incredible tools and features are built by a community of more than 10,000 developers. While all developers contribute to the depth and diversity of our ecosystem, some of the most popular extensions provide significant global impact. Today we celebrate our first cohort of notable developers. # ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Mozilla’s_New_Leadership_Will_Prioritize Transparent_AI_and_User_Control⠀⇛ Anthony Enzor-DeMeo formally took over as CEO of Mozilla Corporation, outlining a strategy that places trust, transparency, and user control at the center of the company’s next phase, with AI set to play a significant but tightly governed role. # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Mozilla_Localization_(L10N):_Contributor Spotlight:_Andika⠀⇛ § About You My name is Andika. I’m from Indonesia, and I speak Indonesian, Javanese, and English. I’ve been contributing to Mozilla localization for a long time, long enough that I don’t clearly remember when I started. I mainly focus on Firefox and Thunderbird, but I also contribute to many other open source projects. * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ Leon Mika ☛ Some_Caution_on_Using_ROWIDs_for_Primary_Keys_in Sqlite_3⠀⇛ I’ve noticed that relying on ROWIDs for primary keys in Sqlite 3 tables can result in IDs being reused. If you insert a row that is given a ROWID of 1, delete it, then insert another row, that second row will also be given a ROWID of 1. At first I thought it was just the Go port I was using, but I also tried a package that uses the C library and I observed the same thing. It’s reproducable using the sqlite3 CLI tool: [...] o ⚓ Evan Schwartz ☛ Short-Circuiting_Correlated_Subqueries_in SQLite⠀⇛ I recently added domain exclusion lists and paywalled content filtering to Scour. This blog post describes a small but useful SQL(ite) query optimization I came across between the first and final drafts of these features: using an uncorrelated scalar subquery to skip a correlated subquery (if you don't know what that means, I'll explain it below). Scour searches noisy sources for content related to users' interests. At the time of writing, it ingests between 1 and 3 million pieces of content from over 15,000 sources each month. For better and for worse, Scour does ranking on the fly, so the performance of the ranking database query directly translates to page load time. * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ Justin Duke ☛ Site_2026⠀⇛ Let me explain why I moved away from my previous generator, Eleventy (11ty, 11ty, three months later). While I still like and recommend Eleventy, I encountered two main issues: [...] * § FSF / Software Freedom⠀➾ o ⚓ Andy Wingo ☛ in_which_our_protagonist_dreams_of_laurels⠀⇛ When I reflect back on what inspired me about free software 25 years ago, it was much more political than technical. The idea that we should be able to modify our own means of production and share those modifications was a part of a political project of mutual care: we should be empowered to affect the systems that surround us, to the extent that they affect us. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ Inside Towers ☛ Lawmakers_Discuss_How_to_Get_the_Nation Transitioned_to_NG911⠀⇛ Much of the nation’s 911 call centers are still using legacy technology from the ‘60s and ‘70s. Some are beginning to transition to Next Generation 911 (NG911), which will enable first responders to send and receive images, texts and more to each other, and to hospital emergency rooms, for example.

Yesterday we added 45_new_pages here and 39_in_the_sister_site. That's probably an all-time high or close to it (achieved on my birthday). I was awake for 22 hours in a row and really enjoyed it. In the evening my wife brought me flowers and treats (some of my favourite foods) - she spent a lot to celebrate the occasion after my hard day's work. Today we're going to rest more. My birthday was enjoyable and calm. I did what I promised I'd do: write. I really like writing. Some people online said that writing or blogging was, to them, like some sort of therapy. It made them feel good - the feeling of accomplishing something or speaking out. Without social control media, whatever you produce isn't some "content" for the likes of MElon or Zuck. Instead, it's something to keep and easily find again, reassessing it in retrospect. Sometimes I still look back at blog posts I wrote more than 20 years ago. █ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶

In contrast, options compiled as modules are built separately and only loaded by the kernel at runtime if needed (for example, when a new peripheral is connected). In our case, DOOM is launched before systemd starts, and module files are stored in the rootfs, not in the initramfs. Therefore, any option compiled as a module has no impact on boot time. We conducted a thorough review of kernel options and disabled or converted to modules those that were unnecessary for system startup and for running DOOM. This was done using Linux’s menuconfig interface, which organizes kernel options into categories and allows us to inspect descriptions and dependencies.

Not only is it beautiful, but it's also highly flexible, fast, and reliable. Once you've decided on the desktop environment that's right for you, you need to choose a distribution that complements your environment. With KDE Plasma, there are a lot of options. Two of these will go head-to-head here: Kubuntu and Fedora KDE Plasma. You might wonder, "Isn't KDE Plasma always KDE Plasma, no matter the distribution?" That may be a logical assumption, but it is not always true. Even subtle differences can be game changers.

It seems to explain everything, and yet rarely gets us anywhere in terms of practical solutions. People usually point to the fact that there are so many different desktop environments and distros, competing packaging formats, and inconsistent UI behaviour. Add to that, the occasional, and frankly, often perplexing “this works on Fedora, but it breaks on Ubuntu” moments. These all add up to drive the conclusion that Linux is not, and will never be, a “real platform”. That's because this argument is based on the misconception that "Linux" even should be a platform in and of itself.

For example, anyone can deploy and run a Debian-based PostgreSQL container on a Fedora Linux host. Distrobox is a project that is designed to bring the cross-distribution compatibility to the desktop and allow users to mix-and-match Linux distributions without fussing with dual-booting, virtual machines, or multiple computers. It is an ideal way to install additional software on image-based systems, such as Fedora's Atomic Desktops or Bazzite, and also provides a convenient way to move a development environment or favorite applications to a new system. Distrobox creator Luca Di Maio was inspired by the Toolbx project (formerly Container Toolbox) for Fedora. Generally, the idea with Linux containers is to run processes in their own environment to isolate them as much as possible from the host without having to resort to virtual machines with their additional overhead. It is possible, though, to set up a container to give it privileged access to the system with little to no isolation. This is typically referred to as a privileged container. It is possible to set up privileged containers manually, but it requires the user to know a great deal about working with containers and some fairly involved setup. The original goal for Toolbx was to let users run a privileged container "toolbox" on image-based systems that could be used for system administration and troubleshooting without having to include administration utilities in the image itself. Toolbx has a somewhat limited scope: it works best with specific container images and was primarily developed to provide a software toolbox for image- based Fedora editions like CoreOS and Silverblue. Toolbx is also limited to the Podman container manager, which is not ideal for those who prefer to use Docker. Di Maio wanted to have broader compatibility with other Linux distributions as host operating systems as well as the ability to use a wide range of container images. He published the first release, Distrobox 1.0.0, in December 2021, under the GPLv3.

That is a relatively small fraction of what can be expected this time around, but it contains quite a bit of significant work, with changes to many core kernel subsystems. Read on for a summary of the first part of the 6.19 merge window. o ⚓ LWN ☛ An_open_seat_on_the_TAB⠀⇛ As has been recently announced, nominations are open for the 2025 Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board (TAB) elections. I am one of the TAB members whose term is coming to an end, but I have decided that, after 18 years on the board, I will not be seeking re-election; instead, I will step aside and make room for a fresh voice. My time on the TAB has been rewarding, and I will be sad to leave; the TAB has an important role to play in the functioning of the kernel community. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ A_"frozen"_dictionary_for_Python⠀⇛ Dictionaries are ubiquitous in Python code; they are the data structure of choice for a wide variety of tasks. But dictionaries are mutable, which makes them problematic for sharing data in concurrent code. Python has added various concurrency features to the language over the last decade or so—async, free threading without the global interpreter lock (GIL), and independent subinterpreters—but users must work out their own solution for an immutable dictionary that can be safely shared by concurrent code. There are existing modules that could be used, but a recent proposal, PEP 814 ("Add frozendict built-in type"), looks to bring the feature to the language itself. Victor Stinner announced the PEP that he and Donghee Na have authored in a post to the PEPs category of the Python discussion forum on November 13. The idea has come up before, including in PEP 416, which has essentially the same title as 814 and was authored by Stinner back in 2012. It was rejected by Guido van Rossum at the time, in part due to its target: a Python sandbox that never really panned out. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ Eventual_Rust_in_CPython⠀⇛ Emma Smith and Kirill Podoprigora, two of Python's core developers, have opened a discussion about including Rust code in CPython, the reference implementation of the Python programming language. Initially, Rust would only be used for optional extension modules, but they would like to see Rust become a required dependency over time. The initial plan was to make Rust required by 2028, but Smith and Podoprigora indefinitely postponed that goal in response to concerns raised in the discussion. * § Confidentiality⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ Disagreements_over_post-quantum_encryption_for_TLS⠀⇛ The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is the standards body responsible for the TLS encryption standard — which your browser is using right now to allow you to read LWN.net. As part of its work to keep TLS secure, the IETF has been entertaining proposals to adopt "post-quantum" cryptography (that is, cryptography that is not known to be easily broken by a quantum computer) for TLS version 1.3. Discussion of the proposal has exposed a large disagreement between participants who worried about weakened security and others who worried about weakened marketability. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1849 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/18/Open_Hardware_Modding_PCBs_Raspberry_Pi_5_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/18/Open_Hardware_Modding_PCBs_Raspberry_Pi_5_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: PCBs, Raspberry Pi 5, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 18, 2025 * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Fusion_HAT+_Raspberry_Pi_expansion_board_targets_motor and_servo_control_with_Hey_Hi_(AI)_and_LLMs⠀⇛ SunFounder Fusion HAT+ for Raspberry Pi 5/4/3B+ and Zero single board computers is a motor control and GPIO expansion board designed to work with LLMs such as Abusive Monopolist Microsoft Chaffbot or Gemini using the board’s built-in speaker and microphone for voice interaction.

The system pairs an 82 × 71 mm core board with an optional 134 × 92 mm carrier board, targeting edge computing, industrial HMI, digital signage, and network appliance applications running backdoored Windows or Linux. * ⚓ Collabora ☛ Driving_a_seamless_Chromium_experience_on_MediaTek_SoCs⠀⇛ As Chromium becomes the default UI runtime on embedded GNU/ Linux devices, we’re closing long-standing V4L2 gaps and enabling efficient hardware video encoding and decoding on MediaTek platforms for both downstream and upstream. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Designing_A_CPU_For_Native_BASIC⠀⇛ Over the years there have been a few CPUs designed to directly run a high-level programming language, the most common approach being to build a physical manifestation of a portable code virtual machine. An example might be the experimental Java processors which implemented the JVM. Similarly, in 1976 Itty Bitty Computers released an implementation of Tiny BASIC which used a simple virtual machine, and to celebrate 50 years of Tiny BASIC, [Zoltan Pekic] designed a CPU that mirrors that VM. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Toradex_Luna_SL1680_–_A_“Pro_Consumer”_Raspberry_Pi lookalike_based_on_Synaptics_SL1680_Edge_Hey_Hi_(AI)_SoC⠀⇛ Toradex Luna SL1680 is a credit card-sized single board computer heavily inspired by the Raspberry Pi 5 design, but powered by a Synaptics SL1680 quad-core Cortex-A73 SoC suitable for Edge Hey Hi (AI) applications thanks to a built-in 7.9 TOPS NPU. * ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Astro_Pi_is_10:_A_decade_of_your_code_in_space⠀⇛ Marking 10 years of the European Astro Pi Challenge, inspiring young people to send Python code to run on the ISS. * ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Sustainable_solutions:_A_year_in_review⠀⇛ As we round out the year at Raspberry Pi, we’re reflecting on the work we’ve done to become more sustainable. Guided by our principles for sustainability, this year has seen us try new solutions and even gain some industry recognition, bolstering our commitment to making high-performance, low-cost computing products in an environmentally responsible way. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ Humanoid_robot_becomes_a_bartender⠀⇛ For it to perform its new bartending job, Vitor rebuilt the robot. It now has a Raspberry Pi 4 single-board computer controlling the motors through an Arduino Mega 2560 and drivers. The SBC listens through a microphone and Vosk speech recognition software, then replies to commands using eSpeak speech synthesis software and a speaker. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1975 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/18/Opus_1_6_Released.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/18/Opus_1_6_Released.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Opus 1.6 Released⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 18, 2025 * ⚓ Opus Interactive Audio Codec ☛ Opus_1.6_Released⠀⇛ Opus 1.6 introduces an experimental wideband-to-fullband speech enhancer that was presented at WASPAA 2025. It is an addition to the family of Opus speech coding enhancement algorithms which are covered by the related IETF draft. The new Bandwidth Extension (BWE) model is based on a neural network that was trained to generate high frequency speech content (8-20 kHz) from wideband speech (0-8 kHz) without any side information. It can therefore be used to enhance speech from any previous Opus version and there is no risk of breaking compatibility as the model gets improved in the future. Generating highband content from wideband speech is possible since all phonetic information is already contained in the lower frequency range. This is unlike the problem of narrowband (telephone) to wideband extension, which is hard to achieve and tends to be unreliable (which is why we are not attempting it here). * ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Opus_1.6_Audio_Codec_Released_With_96_kHz_Audio_and_ML Improvements⠀⇛ A major update is a new wideband-to-fullband bandwidth extension module. This machine learning component helps rebuild higher-frequency sounds, making audio clearer when the source or network quality is limited. It builds on the ML work from the last release and aims for a more natural, consistent sound. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2023 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/18/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/18/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 18, 2025 * ⚓ Yoshua Wuyts ☛ Syntactic_musings_on_the_fallibility_effect⠀⇛ I believe it must have been about three or four years ago when Rust added the unstable yeet keyword on nightly which can be used to return new errors in try-functions. More recently Rust has added the unstable bikeshed keyword on nightly which gives try-blocks and closures the ability to express which kind of error they operate on. We’ve been deferring making decisions of error handling syntax for a while now, and I think that’s actually quite reasonable. But if we want things to head for stable, we’re eventually going to want to decide on syntax. And so I think it’s not a bad idea to start working through the entire syntactic space here. And because things are unstable I guess it’s unavoidable to also work through the semantic space here. I guess this is a long-winded way of saying: in this post I’m sharing my opinions on Rust’s effect for fallibility. And I’m doing that mostly because I think it’s fun to think about. * ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Undo_your_last_git_commit_before_you’ve_pushed⠀⇛ I’ve been told by a bunch of people that this was exactly correct, and almost an equal number telling me this is wrong. Git! * ⚓ Matt Godbolt ☛ Inlining_-_the_ultimate_optimisation⠀⇛ Sixteen days in, and I’ve been dancing around what many consider the fundamental compiler optimisation: inlining. Not because it’s complicated - quite the opposite! - but because inlining is less interesting for what it does (copy-paste code), and more interesting for what it enables. * ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ Advent_of_Code_2025_retrospective⠀⇛ It feels weird to write an Advent of Code retrospective a week before Christmas. For years, it’s either been one of the last or first posts of the year. This year, the creator of Advent of Code, Eric, decided to limit the amount of puzzles to 12 days instead of the previous 25 and I really liked that. * ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_RcppArmadillo_15.2.3-1_on_CRAN: Upstream_Update⠀⇛ Armadillo is a powerful and expressive C++ template library for linear algebra and scientific computing. It aims towards a good balance between speed and ease of use, has a syntax deliberately close to Matlab, and is useful for algorithm development directly in C++, or quick conversion of research code into production environments. RcppArmadillo integrates this library with the R environment and language–and is widely used by (currently) 1272 other packages on CRAN, downloaded 43.2 million times (per the partial logs from the cloud mirrors of CRAN), and the CSDA paper (preprint / vignette) by Conrad and myself has been cited 661 times according to Google Scholar. * ⚓ Andrew ☛ A_Survey_of_Dynamic_Array_Structures⠀⇛ This is a more thorough coverage of one of the topics that came up in my recent BSC25 talk "Assuming As Much As Possible" * ⚓ Ruby ☛ Ruby_4.0.0_preview3_Released⠀⇛ We are pleased to announce the release of Ruby 4.0.0-preview3.

And it wasn't too difficult. The class API didn't really change, it just expanded. So existing code using Norn->new(...)->is_nice worked identically with NornV2, making the migration straightforward and low-risk. o ⚓ Perl ☛ Perl_Advent_Calendar_2025_-_Safer_last-minute_hotfixes before_Christmas⠀⇛ As it turned out, there's a tool called App::Transpierce that was developed by a fellow Perl hacker who often had to deal with this kind of... incidents. It is written in perl 5.10 and abuses the ubiquity of perl interpreter on Linux machines. The script can export itself into a single file, and then get copied into any remote environment using scp or alike, to do the dirty (but much needed) work. Since perl is everywhere, it should work everywhere with only core modules installed! How does it work? First, Frosty created a transpierce.conf config file for it, which could be as easy as a list of files he wanted to modify: [...] * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Marijke Luttekes ☛ Quick_tip:_Change_your_Django_Admin_endpoint⠀⇛ If you use Django Admin as instructed, your site hosts the admin panel at /admin.

Now it turns out that other Linux distros are also making hay while Microsoft Windows 10’s sun sets: The developers of Bazzite have taken to social media to trumpet that it has “delivered over 1 petabyte of Bazzite ISOs in just the last 30 days.” * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Run_containerized_AI_models_locally_with_RamaLama⠀⇛ Thankfully, just as containers solved development problems like portability and environment isolation for applications, the same applies to AI models too! RamaLama is an open source project that makes running AI models in containers simple, or in the project’s own words, “boring and predictable.” Let’s take a look at how it works, and get started with local AI inference, model serving, and retrieval augmented generation (RAG). * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ More_than_meets_the_eye:_Behind_the_scenes_of_Red Hat_Enterprise_Linux_10_(Part_4)⠀⇛ * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Beyond_modularity_and_other_upgrades:_The_game- changer_for_your_IT_planning⠀⇛ Executing on this vision, we are eager to announce our first planned change to the next major version of RHEL: Removal of support for modularity in RHEL 11! This update excites RHEL product managers, who work tirelessly to keep feature roadmaps perfectly updated for customers, partners, and Red Hat engineers alike, but many readers may find this a curious announcement.

Uptime Kuma offers a powerful, self-hosted solution for tracking your infrastructure’s availability without recurring subscription fees. * ⚓ Ubuntubuzz ☛ Collection_of_Ubuntu_24.04_Tutorials_Part_IV:_Camera,_Tux Math,_Tux_Typing,_Debian_Trixie,_and_Find_and_Replace⠀⇛ This is the fourth compilation of our tutorials and other related articles on Ubuntu 24.04 "Noble Numbat," which have been published here at The Ubuntu Buzz since 2024. In the last compilation, we talked from the List of Ubuntu Default Apps to Thunderbird Email Client. In this episode, we compiled the articles from July and August, about Camera, for your video call experiences, the two penguin games Tux Math and Tux Typing, for your children's educational amusements, and more. We hope this compilation could be useful for you all, especially if you have just started with Ubuntu recently. Happy reading and see you next time!   * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ What_an_error_log_level_should_mean_(a_system administrator's_view)⠀⇛ In system logs (and thus in anything that's expected to feed into them), an 'error' should mean that something is wrong and it needs to be fixed. By extension, it should be something that people can fix. Since we're talking about system logs, this should generally be things that affect the operation of the program that's doing the logging, not simply things wrong somewhere else. If a SMTP mailer trying to send email to somewhere logs 'cannot contact port 25 on ', that is not an error in the local system and should not be logged at level 'error'. The 'error' log level is for 'I'm not working right, help', things such as 'configuration file error', 'my memory allocation failed', 'unexpected failure to read a data file', and so on. * ⚓ Dan Q ☛ For_anyone_who_:has_:not_yet_seen_the_magic_of_modern_CSS⠀⇛ Modern CSS is freakin’ amazing. Widespread support for nesting, variables, :has, and :not has unlocked so much potential. But I don’t yet see it used widely enough. Suppose I have a form where I’m expecting, but not requiring, a user to choose an option from each of several drop-downs. I want to make it more visually-obvious which drop-downs haven’t yet had an option selected. Something like this: [...] * ⚓ Kerrick Long ☛ Re:_Affordances_and_Lean_CSS⠀⇛ I was indeed objecting that in my mind. But I was not thinking, “it didn’t work.” I was thinking, “and it has kept working for decades. Obviously the utility-only workflow described is terrible; it’s why I refuse to choose Tailwind. How are affordances better than what’s worked for a decade?” …and then I read further, and saw you are indeed recommending what’s worked for a decade, with CSS layers to solve the one pain point with that workflow, which they were invented to solve. * ⚓ Markup from Hell ☛ Forms_are_a_badly_designed_part_of_HTML_-_HTMHell⠀⇛ Forms were likely one of the reasons why browser vendors joined forces in the WHATWG in 2004. They felt that HTML standardization was heading into the wrong direction and wanted more practical relevance. While this may be an oversimplification, if true, it highlights the failure of the WHATWG (i.e., the browser vendors) and, subsequently, the W3C. Although the newly standardized form elements and features all point into the right direction, they are incomplete and unfinished. The fact that this is still the case, even more than ten years after HTML5 became a recommendation, is alarming. I will concentrate in this article on forms and especially on missing elements, inconsistent behaviour and the problems with styling. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3118 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/18/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/18/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 18, 2025 * § Server⠀➾ o ⚓ Positech Games ☛ Eventually_a_simpler,_more_local_website⠀⇛ My positech website has been online since 1999. Initially it was just a page for my first game (Asteroid Miner) and a picture of my first cat. Since then, a lot has happened, and I have moved web hosts more times than I can remember. I was sensible enough to realize early on that you needed a folder for each game, and to be organised as a developer website, not just a single game website, but where I really screwed up is when I started thinking it made sense to have a separate server account for each game, with its own logins, and domain name, so you could stop any of those sites bringing down the whole server, by having bandwidth and disk space quotas etc. When you are renting a physical dedicated server, this stuff seems no big deal. It also seemed pretty simple to host my own blog (this was originally on blogspot) and my own forums. When I was selling a lot of games, publishing third party games, and generally trying to ‘scale’, this all seemed reasonable and made sense. A lot of my games had some form of back-end php, if only for stats reporting, so having different php versions possible for each account was also considered fairly sensible. o ⚓ Kubernetes Blog ☛ Kubernetes_v1.35:_Timbernetes_(The_World_Tree Release)⠀⇛ Editors: Aakanksha Bhende, Arujjwal Negi, Chad M. Crowell, Graziano Casto, Swathi Rao Similar to previous releases, the release of Kubernetes v1.35 introduces new stable, beta, and alpha features. The consistent delivery of high-quality releases underscores the strength of our development cycle and the vibrant support from our community. This release consists of 60 enhancements, including 17 stable, 19 beta, and 22 alpha features. * § Kernel Space / File Systems / Virtualization⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ Asahi_Linux_6.18_progress_report⠀⇛ The Asahi GNU/Linux project has published its progress report following the release of Linux 6.18. This time around the project reports progress on many fronts, including microphone support for M2 Pro/Max MacBooks, work queued for Linux 6.19 to support USB3 via the USB- C ports, and work to improve the Asahi Linux installation experience. The project is also enabling as additional System Management Controller (SMC) drivers, which means that "the myriad voltage, current, temperature and power sensors controlled by the SMC will be readable using the standard hwmon interfaces". * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ KDE ☛ KDE_PIM_Sprint_in_Paris⠀⇛ Last weekend I attended this year's edition of the KDE_PIM_Sprint which, this time, took place in Paris. I arrived in Paris around 1 p.m. and first walked from Gare du Nord to the Île de la Cité to have a look at the reconstructed roof of Notre Dame. Then I checked in at my hotel and after a brief rest I went to the sprint venue, the office of enioka. There I was greeted by one of our hosts for the weekend and by a few KDE PIMsters who had already taken over the meeting room. o § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ Sam_Thursfield:_Status_update,_17/12/2025⠀⇛ Welcome to mid-December! Where I am this month is a pretty cold affair… at night it’s 2 or 3 degrees above freezing. Maybe you’re in a tropical place and the nights are 30 degrees warmer. Or maybe you’re somewhere that drops down to 20 or 30 below freezing. The world is a big place! (Or maybe you’re in one of those 10 remaining countries that use fahrenheit to measure temperature.. if so, I’m sorry for you ; -) * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ Meet_Armbian_Imager,_the_Official_Flashing Utility_for_Armbian_Linux,_Beta_Out_Now⠀⇛ Armbian Imager is out now as the official utility for flashing the Armbian GNU/Linux operating system to your single-board computer. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Extending_ROS_Noetic_Support_with_ESM-Enabled Content_Snaps⠀⇛ To build on this foundation, Canonical has now extended its ESM (Expanded Security Maintenance) for ROS coverage to ROS Noetic content-sharing snaps. This update is a significant step toward long-term support and security for ROS environments distributed through the Snap ecosystem, ensuring developers can continue to rely on maintained and compatible components. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ PC World ☛ Leaving_your_phone's_Wi-Fi_on_all_the_time_is_a huge_risk,_experts_warn⠀⇛ Most people think they’ll be safe from most cyber security threats as long as they pay attention and follow certain rules, like knowing how to spot phishing messages and not downloading unusual apps. But attackers can gain access to your phone even if you do everything right. # ⚓ France ☛ Mobile_Phones:_Threat_Landscape_Since_2015 [PDF]⠀⇛ The numerous communication protocols used, such as cellular network, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC, suffer from several weaknesses facilitating the interception of exchanged information, or even the alteration of data in order to deploy spyware code on the devices. Operating systems and applications installed on the device may also constitute another intrusion vector for spyware deployment. Some sophisticated threats indeed exploit chains of 0-day vulnerabilities which do not require any user interaction to compromise the device, usually referred to as zero- click. The implants deployed after gaining access to the mobile phone are generally non persistent and leave only few traces on the compromised device. The sophistication of these infection chains and their stealth, as well as the absence of detection solutions significantly increase the difficulty of response efforts. These elements show that mobile devices have a large attack surface that multiple offensive actors strive to exploit - sometimes deploying very advanced attack capabilities to successfully compromise a device. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3325 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/18/Ubuntu_Studio_is_Linux_s_best_kept_secret_for_creators.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/18/Ubuntu_Studio_is_Linux_s_best_kept_secret_for_creators.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ubuntu Studio is Linux’s best-kept secret for creators⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 18, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Ubuntu_Studio⦈_ As a creator, you might not feel too compelled to use any flavor of Linux except for maybe some very specific things.

Who is accountable when a biased algorithm denies someone housing? What data was used to train the system that assesses your child's educational future? We're not allowed to know. The code is a secret, the data is proprietary, and the logic is often unexplainable, even to those who use or made the system. This isn't just a lack of transparency; it's a surrender of human oversight and a concentration of power unlike anything we've ever seen, and it doesn't end there. You own your phone, but someone else dictates its functions. You may use social media, but an algorithm you can't inspect shapes the reality you see. You own your car, but you can't fix it. You own your smart TV, but it's watching you. In every corner of our modern lives, we're surrounded by things we've purchased but are forbidden from truly possessing or understanding. The culprit isn't the device itself but the invisible code running inside it, and the fight for control over that code is one of the most important battles for human rights in the twenty-first century. This isn't a niche issue for coders and tech enthusiasts; it is about your fundamental rights. It's about whether you're the owner of your digital life or merely a tenant living at the mercy of someone else. The term for this freedom to control your digital life is "free software," coined by activist and programmer Richard Stallman. One must understand what "free" in "free software" means. In English, the word "free" can mean "without cost," as in free beer, or "with liberty," as in free speech. The free software movement is, and always has been, concerned with liberty, not cost.
