Launches New Official Imager for Flashing Armbian OS — The Armbian team has introduced Armbian Imager, a new official tool designed to simplify flashing Armbian OS onto single-board computers. Until now, installing Armbian has typically relied on third-party imaging utilities. With this release, the project now offers a first- party solution built specifically around its ecosystem and hardware support matrix. Armbian Imager is a lightweight, native application available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, with full support for both x86_64 and ARM64 architectures. The tool supports more than 300 boards from over 70 manufacturers, allowing users to browse available hardware directly in the interface. Boards are presented with real photos sourced, making selection more straightforward, especially for less familiar devices. Read_on More here: * ⚓ Armbian's_Raspberry_Pi_Imager_alternative_is_here⠀⇛ The team behind the Raspberry Pi OS alternative Armbian published on GitHub a new image flashing application this week. It's a cross-platform alternative to software like the official Raspberry Pi Imager, but with the ability to directly download Armbian images. Armbian Imager walks you through the image flashing process by letting you select an Single Board Comuter (SBC) manufactuer, then uses that selection to narrow down which specific board you're going to install Armbian on. After that, you select which version of Armbian you want (whether it's the latest standard release, the Home Assistant version, and so on), followed by choosing the physical device to flash. Each step is plainly organized on-screen, making it a straightforward process. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⣶⣦⣤⣤⣶⣶⣦⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠸⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⠈⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⠄⣿⣿⡷⢸⣿⣿⡧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⢣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠄⠀⡀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠻⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢁⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣠⣤⣮⣔⣬⣭⣤⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠤⠤⠄⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢃⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡔⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡌⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠈⠘⠻⡿⠿⠿⡿⡿⠿⢿⠿⠿⡿⡿⠿⡿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠫⢢⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⡛⠛⠛⠟⠻⢛⠛⠛⠛⠛⡟⡧⠛⠟⠻⡻⠛⢛⠟⢟⠛⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠉⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 356 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/19/Birds_Are_Fantastic_Pets_and_Not_Much_Maintenance_Just_Don_t_Pu.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/19/Birds_Are_Fantastic_Pets_and_Not_Much_Maintenance_Just_Don_t_Pu.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Birds Are Fantastic Pets and Not Much Maintenance (Just Don't Put Them in Cages)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 19, 2025, updated Dec 19, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Close-up_of_a_female_bobwhite_quail_hiding_in_brown_leaves.⦈ Our site's logo is flying or flightless birds (or mammals, put that particular debate aside). Due to an accidental passion, we really like that. Each and every morning many birds fly or glide onto the garden, hurrying to pick up the seeds and then picking/pecking on the coconuts shells with extra treats inside them. We don't keep them caged, nor do we claim to own them. Sometimes we look after frail ones by bottle-feeding or treating their feet (due to loitering some stuff can get entangled, putting them at risk of injury, infection, then a loss of a foot or two). We both grew up with dogs (my wife and I both had many dogs when we were children), but dogs are difficult not just to look after; they're difficult to lose. There's great pain associated with losing a dog, or even seeing a dog deteriorating due to bad health (or old age). With birds, there's no vet or pet insurance to pay and since they're free-range (no, they're_not_parrots) they can mostly cope if you're away from home; they can find their own food if you're on holiday. They can figure things out, they're very adaptable and they can travel long distances. Today we saw people in a nearby street feeding some gulls and pigeons. The shortest day of the year is just a couple of days away, so daylight doesn't last long and birds are ever more desperate to nourish their body; it helps them produce protective oil. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇RMS_and_a_parrot⦈_ Earlier this year I wrote about the_founder_of_GNU/Linux_fancying_parrots_as pets. Somehow some sinister trolls have attempted and perhaps managed to twist that as a perverse thing. Birds in the wild are not domesticated and not traditional 'pets'. But cities that are full of birds not only "sound" better (chirping always sounds better than road traffic, which emits poisonous gasses), they are a lot healthier with modest populations of particular bird types. Some people wait until they retire or become as old as 80s/90s before they become birdwatchers (maybe a lack of physical mobility contributes to the appeal of this hobby).

As the host put it: "The change freeze will run from Friday the 19th December 2025 at 9am until Monday the 5th January 2026 at 9am." Good. Well, we plan to load a new kernel this coming weekend, probably Sunday morning. After that things will be uneventful, as stability becomes a priority for the site. █ ⣷⠀⢠⣿⣇⣠⡀⣷⡆⣿⠆⣀⣽⣧⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⢿⡟⠿⠛⠻⠿⠟⠛⠻⠿⠻⠿⠹⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠸⠿⠿⠿⠿⠸⠿⠿⣿⣿⠃⠧⠀⣧⣿⠿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣤⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀⢠⡀⠀⡀⣰⣦⠀⠀⢸⣷⣾ ⣿⠀⠈⣻⣿⣿⡇⣧⠘⢋⣄⣽⣿⠁⢻⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣴⣴⣲⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⣀⡀⠀⢻⣛⠟⡿⠛⣻⠀⣀⣀⣿⣿⡛⠛⢿⡿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠾⣿⣿⡇⣿⠀⣶⣶⣾⣿⡆⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⢸⣿⣿⣷⢀⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠺⡿⠇⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⣠⠄⠉⣿⡇⣟⠠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢀⡀⢸⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⢇⡄⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⣿⣿⢻⣿⡇⣷⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡃⠈⠁⢸⣿⠉⡿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢀⡧⠘⢸⣿⣟ ⣿⢘⢻⣿⢾⣿⡇⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣽⡯⠇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡎⡟⠀⢸⣿⡇ ⣿⠠⢸⣿⢸⡿⢇⡏⠈⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢹⣿⣷⡄⢸⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⡏⠀⢸⣿⣧ ⢹⠀⠈⢿⠸⠇⠘⡟⢸⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣟⡇⢸⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⡄⣹⡀⡇⠀⢸⣿⡇ ⣪⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⢿⡿⠛⣽⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠃⠀⠀⢸⣿⣟⡇⢸⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠄⡇⠀⠀⣿⢃ ⣹⠀⡀⡀⠀⠀⢠⣇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⢻⡝⠱⠇⠙⣿⠿⠿⠍⠛⠻⢿⠗⠎⠀⡀⠀⠰⠟⠟⠙⠿⠋⣩⠀⠩⡌⢉⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⢙⡇⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠁⠀⠀⡇⠀⠰⣿⠨ ⣿⢸⠯⡅⣰⣡⠈⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠉⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠃⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⢀⣤⡀⠀⣀⠈⠀⠂⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⢸⡇⠈⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⠄⠀⠀⢰⡇⠀⠀⢻⢰ ⠟⠀⢀⣄⣿⣿⠀⡇⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢀⠀⠀⠠⣄⡠⢾⣷⣾⣯⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⢸⠇⢸⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⠁⠀⠀⢸⠁⠀⠐⠺⠠ ⠇⢠⣸⣿⣿⣿⢠⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠂⢸⡇⠐⠈⡇⢸⢻⣽⣽⣶⢭⢻⣾⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⢤⣠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣸⣆⣸⡇⣿⡿⣿⣿⡧⠄⠀⠀⢸⠇⠀⠀⠙⢠ ⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⡇⠘⣽⣽⣿⡟⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⠿⣿⣇⠀⣤⡼⡗⢧⣿⢻⡟⢼⣆⡻⢿⡿⣾⣿⣾⢿⣿⢿⡟⣀⠂⠰⢦⣠⣀⣠⣤⣤⣴⡂⣾⢿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⠘⣿⣟⡀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠃⠀⠀⣾ ⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⠀⡇⠈⠻⠻⠏⠀⠀⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠻⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣷⢉⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣶⣿⣷⣿⣼⣤⣬⣼⣵⣿⣿⣷⣦⣹⡟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⡯⢹⡇⢿⠈⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⢀⢸⠀⡄⠀⠀⣿ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⢨⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠏⠀⠹⠟⠿⠀⢀⠉⠉⠛⢛⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⠙⢛⣻⣿⣉⡿⣿⣿⣯⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⡤⠉⠉⣿⣿⣄⣌⠁⢸⠁⠀⠀⠻⠁⠀⠀⠀⢿⠛⢀⡇⠀⠀⣿ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠠⡇⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⠀⠀⢠⣶⣾⣿⣤⣾⢷⠓⠉⠉⣍⣻⣤⡭⣿⣛⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡟⠿⠛⠙⣙⣿⣟⡁⠀⣾⡈⠀⢡⣹⣿⠋⠁⠀⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠾⠀⢨⡇⠀⠀⣿ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⡏⣿⠀⡇⠀⠀⢠⣰⣄⡄⠀⣤⣿⡀⡀⣸⣿⠛⠟⢀⣿⣾⠻⢷⣦⡟⢿⣿⢣⡤⠘⠻⣿⣿⣿⣙⣹⣿⣿⣿⣷⡬⠧⠆⠘⢿⡟⢷⣾⣿⣧⠤⠀⣝⣟⠀⣦⣿⣿⣿⢧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠸⠀⠀⠀⡇ ⠀⠀⠈⠑⠀⢿⠀⡃⠀⠀⠘⠟⠻⡁⠅⡏⠋⠀⠀⣿⣷⢀⣼⣽⣰⣿⡀⢀⣤⣤⡀⡟⢀⣓⠀⠆⢬⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠙⣿⣿⣷⣾⣆⢠⣾⣷⡄⠉⢻⢿⣽⣿⣿⣿⢶⣏⢘⣟⡽⠾⣷⠀⣠⠀⢀⣌⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⡄⡅⠀⠀⠀⠐⡄⡁⣇⣧⣤⣦⣶⠟⡍⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣗⠹⢿⣿⣇⡋⠿⠛⠳⣮⡀⠉⠙⢛⢻⣏⡍⠉⠻⣿⠛⣛⠀⣼⡿⡀⣇⣠⠊⢿⣿⣿⣹⣷⣏⣺⣿⡇⢸⣎⢠⣿⠀⢸⡏⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠇ ⠈⠀⠀⠀⢺⠃⠀⠄⢠⡄⠀⢀⣣⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⢴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣛⠋⠁⢠⠐⣿⠨⡷⠠⠝⣷⡛⣿⣇⠀⠌⣧⣿⡀⠐⣒⡟⠵⢾⡄⠀⠀⠀⠂⢩⢀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣯⠀⢸⡿⢸⣿⠀⢸⣷⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣼⡆⠇⠀⠀⠀⠔⣿⡇⣿⡃⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣂⣄⠀⣀⠉⠠⣧⡀⠂⠹⣿⣿⣿⠖⠀⠿⣿⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⠻⡅⠒⠂⠀⡀⣶⠄⢰⡾⢙⠳⢿⠟⢿⣍⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⠂⣿⡏⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠸⠀⡆⠐⠀⢾⠅⠀⠀⠀⠀⢩⣿⣇⣠⡆⢀⢀⠀⠠⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣤⢤⣿⣟⣿⣀⡸⠛⠙⠀⠄⠀⠀⠂⠠⡼⣿⣿⣷⣧⡄⠀⡆⣷⣙⣣⣺⣷⡄⠈⠁⢀⢸⣟⣿⢿⡿⡘⣿⠇⢸⠇⣿⠀⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠘⠀⡏⠀⠀⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣁⣿⡏⡟⠻⣶⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⡟⠀⠔⠀⠈⠋⠛⠛⢺⣿⣿⡿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢋⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⠇⠘⠓⣿⣿⣿⠻⣿⠿⠀⢠⢸⣿⣿⡏⢨⡇⠈⢋⠀⣿⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠈⠀⠀⠐⠀⢽⡄⠀⠀⡄⠀⣿⠟⠀⠀⠈⠛⠛⠐⠊⠻⣿⠄⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣶⡀⣴⢻⣿⢿⣿⡆⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⠛⣇⢀⠀⢀⣞⣻⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⡇⠀⢸⡀⠸⢸⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⣾⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣠⡀⣀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣶⣿⡄⠀⢰⣾⣿⣿⣟⠀⢿⢸⣟⢘⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣴⡀⠀⠀⡀⠈⠛⠁⠀⢸⢸⣿⢿⡋⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⡄⢹⡿⡏⠁⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠃⡆⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠟⣿⡇⠈⠀⠲⣾⡧⣹⣿⡿⠻⠆⢸⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⢘⠸⣿⣼⣿⡇⠀⢠⣿⣿⣷⡇⢸⡇⠀⣴⣦⠀⣔⢘⣿⠀⠂⣻⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣸⣏⠁⠀⠄⢸⡇⠀⠇⠀⠟⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀ ⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠙⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⢸⡄⠀⠀⢀⣿⣯⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⠈⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⡻⡇⡇⢸⠃⠀⡬⠁⠀⠁⠈⡇⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⡇⠀⡁⢸⡟⡀⠀⡀⢸⡁⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠇⠸⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⢽⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⣿⡇⠀⢀⣿⠇⣷⠇⡈⡇⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠈⠄⠀⠀⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⢸⠓⠃⠀⠁⢸⠀⠀⠀⢠⢰⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 557 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/19/Fake_Sites_That_Are_Made_by_Bots_Will_Never_Get_Links_From_Tux_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/19/Fake_Sites_That_Are_Made_by_Bots_Will_Never_Get_Links_From_Tux_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Fake Sites That Are Made by Bots Will Never Get Links From Tux Machines⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 19, 2025, updated Dec 19, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇A_man_working_out_with_free_weights⦈_ You must do the work, don't get bots to fake it for you Slopfarms are a nuisance. Today I_caught_one. Slopfarm or not, I am convinced it uses 1) LLMs and 2) slop images (CG_basically). Identifying such sites isn't always simple and it can take some time with "sniff tests". However, once_caught,_they_won't_recover; their trust and reputation wanes as any output from them is presumed to be fake. They say it takes not much time (or number of mistakes) to lose credibility. They say trust takes ages to earn and short moments to lose. Here in Tux Machines we never consciously linked to a site that was made by LLMs. Not consciously anyway. LLMs need to go the way of the dodo. There is no positive use case for them, except maybe conning_shareholders (it's only positive for scammers). █ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠸⢿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢰⡿⣾⡟⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡃⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⡇⠸⡿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⢸⣿⣿⣽⣾⣿⣿⣟⠀⢙⣿⡇⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠻⣿⢛⣿⣿⡿⢻⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⡿⠟⣻⣿⡿⣉⠉⢹⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠻⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣧⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⢸⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠋⠻⠇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⣷⣿⣾⣿⣸⣼⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠏⠉⠉⣿⡿⠌⠀⠈⠃⠒⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠡⠀⠀⠹⠁⠎⠀⠀⠿⣿⠉⠁⠀⠈⠛⢹⡇⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠁⠀⢀⣠⡄⠀⠈⢀⢀⡀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠺⠇⢃⡀⠈⠲⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢰⠀⠰⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣿⡀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣧⢸⠣⠃⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠘⣀⣾⡏⣹⣶⠟⡛⠒⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡅⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠛⠛⠚⠛⠛⠻⠿⠾⠿⠷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⣴⣿⣯⣶⡎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⢬⡁⣽⡇⠁⠤⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢠⣤⣤⣆⣰⣶⣶⣶⠤⠄⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⣀⣠⣾⢦⣤⣆⣶⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⡿⠿⠆⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠷⠄⠇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠉⠙⣛⡋⠉⠛⠐⠒⠒⠊⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠅⠹⠈⠉⠋⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢀⡀⠠⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠿⠟⠛⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠙⠻⢿⣃⣀⣆⠀⠀⠀⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣧⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠈⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠈⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠻⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠶⢶⣿⣷⣤⣄⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠂⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠉⢿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠆⠀⠑⠐⠀⡀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡉⢪⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⢀⠠⠒⠁⠀⠀⡀⠀⣀⣤⡀⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣷⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⢏⡎⠘⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠖⠁⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⡾⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣰⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⢿⠟⠉⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣶⠿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠐⠀⢼⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⡾⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⠶⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣶⣿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡴⠞⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠴⠊⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣾⣿⡵⠷⡈⠻⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣠⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣖⡁⠀⠀⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠿⣏⠁⢠⣄⡀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠾⣟⣏⠁⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⣠⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣴⣶⣿⣧⠈⠋⠛⠟⣄⣈⣴⣞⠀⠀⢻⣿⣷⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠁⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 626 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/19/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/19/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 19, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇rehex⦈_ * ⚓ rehex_-_hex_editor_for_reverse_engineering_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ rehex is a cross-platform hex editor for reverse engineering and everything else.

Many improvements were shipped throughout the year, from faster updates with a new release cadence, to a modernized codebase for the desktop app. We made big strides on our mobile apps and introduced the upcoming Thunderbird Pro to the world. As we wrap up the year, a huge thank you to our community and volunteer contributors, and to our donors whose financial support keeps the lights on for the dedicated team working on Thunderbird. Here’s what we accomplished in 2025 and what’s to come in the new year. * ⚓ Eric MacAdie ☛ Emacs_Carnival:_People_Of_Emacs⠀⇛ This month’s Emacs Carnival is “The People Of Emacs” hosted by George Jones (site here, Mastodon here). whirls suburbs typewriting I know the main thesis is to write about “Emacs people you’ve known,” but I feel that first we should acknowledge the work put in over the years by the Emacs developers and maintainers (as Irreal has done here and here): RMS, Eli Zaretskii, Stefan Kangas and Andrea Corallo are the main runners of the project.

As we enter a moment of rapid change in how people experience the internet and AI, we’re focused on building products that are private, transparent, and put people in control. Today, we’re excited to take an important step forward in that work by welcoming John Solomon as Mozilla’s new Chief Marketing Officer. * § FSF / Software Freedom⠀➾ o ⚓ Ed Kellett ☛ Freedom_zero_cannot_survive_a_world_with attestation⠀⇛ If you accept “doing online banking” and “checking train times” as purposes, attestation is an existential threat to software freedom. It has already divided phones into locked-down capitalism delivery vehicles and useless toys. Please stop trying to bring it to PCs. * § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ o ⚓ Ava ☛ i_need_more_freaks_in_law⠀⇛ Makes sense then that most people think you need to fit into that sort of group to be interested or have a good time in law: be boring, be professional, stone-faced, serious, rich, holier-than-thou, capitalism-lover, wear muted colors and perform gender and sexuality in the approved way, be straight-laced and rule-loving.

Going into the hearing, the judge was leaning toward concluding that a request for source code — pursuant to an offer under the GPLv2 or LGPLv2.1 — constitutes a contract obligating the vendor to provide that code to the purchaser. * § Programming/Development⠀➾ o ⚓ Developer_OS_Preference_Statistics [Ed: This seems like an obvious slopfarm]⠀⇛ Windows claimed 59.2% of developer personal use in 2024, but Android surged 11 percentage points to reach 29% adoption in 2025, overtaking Ubuntu for the first time.

The Steam Winter Sale 2025 has arrived with a great many thousands of games discounted. No doubt the Steam store will be a little flaky for a while, as it usually struggles to cope with the increased demand of everyone madly throwing their payment cards at the servers. * ⚓ Continuing_to_make_things_weird_Two_Point_Museum_and_Revenge_of_the Savage_Planet_do_crossovers_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ They did a Vampire Survivors update, so sure why not Revenge of the Savage Planet too? Two Point Museum has expanded again in a free update.

Devolver announced recently it hit over 1 million sales, and so they're getting Kenny Sun to make some more balls. * ⚓ Rogue_Legacy_developer's_next_game_is_Neath,_an_eldritch_roguelike tactical_RPG_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ One missed from earlier this month is Neath, a roguelike tactical RPG set in a decaying world shadowed by an irradiated, inverted tower. In development by Cellar Door Games who previously made the Rogue Legacy series and releases sometime in 2026. * ⚓ Zombie_horde_shooter_World_War_Z_is_getting_a_big_The_Walking_Dead_DLC |_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ The highly rated co-op zombie horde shooter World War Z is set for a big addition with a DLC featuring the The Walking Dead.

I certainly do, and I remember being seriously underwhelmed. Not only were the devices underpowered, but they were so small that using them was a chore. Those keyboards were impossible unless you had tiny hands. So when X-Plus reached out to me to review the Storm 10 laptop, I begrudgingly accepted, assuming this would be yet another tiny laptop that was impossible to use with any efficiency. * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Compact_development_board_features_a_single_ESP32- P4_+_ESP32-C5_dual-band_Wi-Fi_6_module,_MIPI_display_and_camera interfaces⠀⇛ Just a few months back, Wireless-Tag released the WT99P4C5-S1, which combines the ESP32-P4 with an ESP32-C5 dual-band WiFi 6 module, instead of the more commonly used ESP32-C6 wireless module found on most ESP32-P4 development boards we’ve covered. The company has now released the WTDKP4C5-S1, a more compact development board built around the WT01P4C5-S1 ESP32-P4 and ESP32-C5 core module. The board supports MIPI-CSI and MIPI-DSI through the ESP32-P4, while the SDIO-connected ESP32-C5 provides dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (2.4/5 GHz) connectivity along with BLE 5, Zigbee, Thread, and Matter. Other features include a USB 2.0 Type-C OTG port, two UART debug interfaces, two 40-pin GPIO breakouts from both chips, and various power options via USB-C, a 12V DC input, or headers. o ⚓ FUDZilla ☛ AI_designs_a_Linux_box_in_a_week,_and_it_boots_first time⠀⇛ LA-based startup Quilter says its Project Speedrun used AI to create a dual-PCB Linux single-board computer with 843 components in a week, then booted Debian on the first power-up. Human execution errors often mean rework, dragging projects out and burning patience along the way, and the feeling is that more AI involvement would be a good idea. Quilter reckons the AI-driven workflow slashed what would usually take about three months of human graft down to one week, with just 38.5 hours of expert human involvement. That compares with roughly 430 hours for a skilled engineer doing it the old-fashioned way, which rather underlines where the pain usually sits. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1305 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/19/GNU_Linux_Applications_and_Games.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/19/GNU_Linux_Applications_and_Games.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux Applications and Games⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 19, 2025 * § Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Peter 'CzP' Czanik ☛ Using_OpenSearch_data_streams_in_syslog-ng⠀⇛ Recently, one of our power users contributed OpenSearch data streams support to syslog-ng, which reminded me to also do some minimal testing on the latest OpenSearch release with syslog-ng.

The move lands just as Intel was trying to convince the kernel community it still cared about upstream support. At the end of November, Intel finally released the Habana Labs Gaudi 3 kernel driver code, years later than promised. That code missed the Linux 6.19 merge window thanks to delays, layoffs and a revolving door of driver maintainers, leaving it aimed vaguely at Linux 6.20 or even 7.0. However, it turns out Intel has already walked away from maintaining the open-source user-space driver stack that the kernel code depends on. * ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ Linux_Kernel_6.17_Reaches_End_of_Life,_It’s_Time_to_Upgrade to_Linux_Kernel_6.18_LTS⠀⇛ This is your friendly reminder that, as of today, the Linux 6.17 kernel series has reached the end of its supported life, which means that it’s time to start upgrading your installations to Linux kernel 6.18 LTS. Released on September 28th, 2025, Linux kernel 6.17 introduced new features like support for ARM’s “Branch Record Buffer Extension” (BRBE), support for the AMD hardware feedback interface (HFI), Intel Wildcat Lake and Bartlett Lake- S support, and initial support for the HEVC(H.265) and VP9 codecs in Qualcomm’s Iris decoder. Since Linux 6.17 is a short-lived kernel branch, supported for a couple of months, it is now marked as EOL (End of Life) on the kernel.org website by Linux kernel developer Greg Kroah- Hartman, who announced today the last maintenance release, Linux kernel 6.17.13, urging users to upgrade to Linux kernel 6.18. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1642 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/19/Microsoft_Windows_Falls_to_All_Time_Low_in_Capital_of_Europe_Be.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/19/Microsoft_Windows_Falls_to_All_Time_Low_in_Capital_of_Europe_Be.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Microsoft Windows Falls to All-Time Low in 'Capital of Europe', Belgium⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 19, 2025, updated Dec 19, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Operating_System_Market_Share_Belgium⦈_ We've only just noticed that in Belgium, the "land of Brussels" (EU), Windows has taken a considerable fall [1, 2], leaving rivals better off based on statCounter's data.

It should be okay for most people to use now with it no longer being a Beta, but you may still want to hold off until they promote it to the Recommended / Certified driver branch after it's had a bit more time cooking. * ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ NVIDIA_590_Linux_Graphics_Driver_Released_with_More_Wayland Improvements⠀⇛ NVIDIA released today the NVIDIA 590.48.01 graphics drivers for NVIDIA GPUs on Linux, BSD, and Solaris systems as the first stable release in the NVIDIA 590 series. The NVIDIA 590.48.01 graphics driver improves support for Wayland users by raising the minimum supported Wayland version to 1.20 and fixes a bug that prevented the PowerMizer preferred mode drop-down menu in the nvidia-settings control panel from functioning correctly on Wayland systems. It also improves support for Vulkan apps by boosting the performance of recreating Vulkan swapchains, which helps prevent stuttering when resizing Vulkan application windows, and fixes several issues that prevented Vulkan apps from working on the Venus VirtIO virtual GPU. Update Mesa release also: * ⚓ Mesa_25.3.2_brings_more_bug_fixes_for_open_source_Linux_graphics drivers_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ The Mesa team have released Mesa 25.3.2 as the latest bug-fix release for the current main stable branch of open source Linux graphics drivers. More on NVIDIA: * ⚓ NVIDIA_Releases_Linux_Driver_590.48_With_Wayland_and_Vulkan_Fixes⠀⇛ NVIDIA has released Linux display driver 590.48, marking the first stable release in the R590 New Feature Branch. One of the most notable changes is a raised minimum Wayland requirement to version 1.20, alongside an increased minimum glibc version to 2.27 and an X.Org Server minimum of 1.17. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1909 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/19/Open_Hardware_Modding_Raspberry_Pi_and_Hacking_With_Linux.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/19/Open_Hardware_Modding_Raspberry_Pi_and_Hacking_With_Linux.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: Raspberry Pi and Hacking With Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 19, 2025 * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ NASP_NeuroVoice_VAD_chip_enables_always-on_voice activity_detection_at_microwatt-level_power_consumption⠀⇛ POLYN Technology’s Neuromorphic Analog Signal Processor (NASP) NeuroVoice VAD is an always-on, ultra-low-power chip that detects voice in any noisy background, at microwatt-level power consumption and microsecond-scale latency. Everything happens on the chip, so no Internet is needed. * ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Introducing_our_new_‘Programming_with_AI’_unit⠀⇛ An overview of the new classroom unit ‘Programming with AI’, helping students learn to code using LLM tools. * ⚓ Chris Aldrich ☛ Acquired_Brodart_Colored_Blank_Punched_Catalog_Cards⠀⇛ Stocking stuffers anyone?

He decided to do the latter, turning what was Amstrad’s first portable IBM PC compatible computer, released in 1987, into a cool-looking cyberdeck powered by Raspberry Pi 4. It produced a machine capable of running an interactive fiction project for Mikey’s master’s degree. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Engineer_turns_E-ink_tablet_into_computer_monitor_in Linux_—_perfect_secondary_reading_screen_to_reduce_eye_strain_over_the network⠀⇛ The project turns an E-ink tablet into a mirrored clone of an existing second display in a desktop setup. Using VNC for network remote control of a computer, this implementation turns the E-ink tablet into both a display and an input device, opening up options from being used as a primarily reading and writing display to also being usable as a drawing tablet or other screen-as-input-device use cases. * ⚓ Thomas Jensen ☛ A_short_update_on_my_Raspberry_Pi_security_alarm project⠀⇛ Hello again — it seems to be close to a year since I last managed to get some words published on this blog. And almost three years since I last wrote about my Raspberry Pi security alarm project 😮 But the project is still alive and well.

I have copies of this repository on several hosts, and because I want to read every commit message in it, I try to update all of those repositories at the same time, getting the same new commits in each. This time around I accidentally opened two windows on the same host and didn't notice, so when I ran 'git pull' in each of them at the same time, they stepped on each other somehow. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Code_Hosting_Options_Beyond_GitHub⠀⇛ In this post, we describe one approach which allows rOpenSci members to use alternative platforms while still staying connected to rOpenSci operations on GitHub. This is most applicable to current or future developers of rOpenSci peer- reviewed packages, but we hope also serves as a useful guide for those testing approaches for managing code across multiple platforms more generally. This approach involves “mirroring” repositories from GitHub to another platform. We’ll start by exploring what this means and will end with some guidance on setting up multiple mirrors and some words of warning. * ⚓ Simon Willison ☛ swift-justhtml⠀⇛ Kyle ran some benchmarks to compare the different implementations: [...] * ⚓ Max Bernstein ☛ How_to_annotate_JITed_code_for_perf/samply_|_Max Bernstein⠀⇛ Brief one today.

This is the entirety of the implementation in ZJIT1: [...] * ⚓ Simon Willison ☛ Your_job_is_to_deliver_code_you_have_proven_to_work⠀⇛ In all of the debates about the value of AI-assistance in software development there’s one depressing anecdote that I keep on seeing: the junior engineer, empowered by some class of LLM tool, who deposits giant, untested PRs on their coworkers—or open source maintainers—and expects the “code review” process to handle the rest. This is rude, a waste of other people’s time, and is honestly a dereliction of duty as a software developer. Your job is to deliver code you have proven to work. * ⚓ Ben Joffe ☛ The_fastest_"Is_Leap_Year"_functions⠀⇛ In this article I give an overview and explanation of various functions that people have developed to calculate whether a year is a leap year. This type of calculation is a fundamental date library utility, it is used all over the place: validating and parsing dates, determining the Nth last weekday of a month, handling month overflow/underflow when adjusting the day, etc. * ⚓ Anže Pečar ☛ Advent_of_Code_2025_🎄⠀⇛ December is the time for Advent of Code, as it has been since 2015, when the first Advent of Code event was published. This year, Advent of Code only had 12 days instead of the usual 25. To me, this was a relief. I always get competitive and then start waking up at 5 am every day to get more points on the leaderboards. I did the exact same thing this year as well, of course, but at least I only did it for 12 days! * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ How_to_draw_the_Economist-style_graph_with_ggplot2_in R?⠀⇛ I think everyone agrees on the fact that the Economist magazine produces very-well designed graphics, sometimes the best in the world. The success behind their graph lies on the ability of explaining complex matters in a simpler way by employing traditional data visualization techniques such as line graph or bar plot. They put emphasis on the message they want to convey rather than the aesthetics of the graph itself. They also have a clear hiearchy in their plots and use colors, fonts and lines which represents the brand identity of the magazine. In this tutorial, we are going to create an Economist- style graph in R by using ggplot2, ggthemes, showtext, ggtextand grid packages. I am going to use a dataset that I have been collecting since 2014 about the poverty line and minimum wage in Turkey, but you can adopt these codes to any dataset you want to visualize. o ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_dang_0.0.17:_New_Features, Plus_Maintenance⠀⇛ A new release of my mixed collection of things package dang package arrived at CRAN earlier today. The dang package regroups a few functions of mine that had no other home as for example lsos() from a_StackOverflow question_from_2009_(!!), the overbought/oversold_price band_plotter_from_an_older_blog_post, the market_monitor blogged_about as well as the checkCRANStatus() function tweeted about by_Tim_Taylor. And more so take a look. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Robotic Systems LLC ☛ tview_logging_-_mjbots_blog⠀⇛ Wow, the updates to the graphical moteus monitoring application tview just won’t stop! We’ve had a lot of changes recently (python console, fault text decoding, fault monitoring, UUID addressing) and now here is yet another long requested big quality of life improvement – recording data to log files! As of pypi moteus-gui version X, tview now can write log files in either the .jsonl format as a single file or as a set of CSV files.

The slightly simplified code looks like this: [...] o ⚓ Ben Hoyt ☛ Don't_fear_Python_subprocess_or_Go_codegen⠀⇛ Jubilant is a Python API that I created for Juju, a deployment and operations tool made by Canonical. While Jubilant itself is very simple, this article describes some design choices that might be interesting to other developers: the use of Python’s subprocess.run, code generation to create Python dataclasses from Go structs, and the use of Make and uv. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Rakulang ☛ Day_17_–_An_issue_with_evaluation_–_Raku_Advent Calendar⠀⇛ “Ah, yes, CodeUnit, a module that provides a unit for execution of code”, thought Lizzybel, “that cute one that I abstracted from the REPL module I worked on earlier this year. Ah, and there’s Steve‘s issue!”. Time to look at the code! So why did setting $*ERR to / dev/null not work? Aaah… found it: [...] o ⚓ Rakulang ☛ Day_16_–_Melian_and_the_Helpers_of_Evergreen_–_Raku Advent_Calendar⠀⇛ These elves were familiar with Raku‘s reputation: expressive, concurrent, type-driven, joyful with binary data, and backed by a runtime that had been quietly optimized for real workloads. But this was the first time they’d attempt to pair Raku with a high-throughput caching server. To their surprise, Raku behaved as if it had been waiting for precisely this job. o ⚓ Rakulang ☛ Day_15_–_An_expression_language_for_Vixen_–_Raku Advent_Calendar⠀⇛ Let’s fragment the system a little bit by introducing an expression language just for this sort of composition. Our justification is that we aren’t going to actually replace execline; we’re just going to make it easier to write. We’ll scavenge some grammar from a few different flavors of Smalltalk. The idea is that our program above could be represented by something like: [...] o ⚓ Rakulang ☛ Day_14_–_Taming_Concurrency_–_Raku_Advent_Calendar⠀⇛ Data is persisted in a DB. Each table and field lies in the responsibility of one of these components. So naturally, because the responsibility of each data unit is clear the components are nicely separated. But the tools often need to hand work over to some other component. They do so by creating the respective DB entries (either new rows or filling out fields) and then notifying that other component that data is waiting to be processed. o ⚓ Rakulang ☛ Day_13_–_Christmas_Crunching_Part_II_–_Raku_Advent Calendar⠀⇛ Rudolph (him again) was pacing up and down, mashing his cheroot. He cast his mind back to the App::Crag calcs he had done last time – sure all the distances, times and speeds had worked out. But something was still missing. Could he be sure that all the prerequisites were finalised, that the crucial flight would be a success again this year? * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Anton Zhiyanov ☛ Detecting_goroutine_leaks_in_modern_Go⠀⇛ Deadlocks, race conditions, and goroutine leaks are probably the three most common problems in concurrent Go programming. Deadlocks usually cause panics, so they're easier to spot. The race detector can help find data races (although it doesn't catch everything and doesn't help with other types of race conditions). As for goroutine leaks, Go's tooling did not address them for a long time. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Rust Weekly Updates ☛ This_Week_In_Rust:_This_Week_in_Rust_630⠀⇛ Hello and welcome to another issue of This Week in Rust! ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2298 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/19/Proprietary_Linux_Docker_Systemd_and_WSL_Windows.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/19/Proprietary_Linux_Docker_Systemd_and_WSL_Windows.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Proprietary 'Linux': Docker, Systemd, and WSL (Windows)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 19, 2025 * ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ Docker_is_the_Lockfile_for_System_Packages⠀⇛ Language package managers solved this years ago.

As quantum computing technology advances, traditional cryptographic methods like RSA, ECDSA, and ECDH become vulnerable to quantum attacks, particularly through algorithms like Shor's algorithm, which can efficiently factor large integers and solve discrete logarithm problems. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ RPM_and_DNF_features_and_enhancements_in_Red_Hat Enterprise_Linux_10.1⠀⇛ As we prepare for the next generation of security threats and adapt to the new and evolving post-quantum computing world, we've made a number of enhancements to RPM's signature capabilities. RPM signatures are a security feature used with RPM packages to verify the package's authenticity and integrity, ensuring it came from a trusted source and hasn't been tampered with since it was signed. These changes include improvements to support differing formats and algorithms, and adding options that give customers greater control over managing signatures. It offers select signature algorithms of your choice like ML-DSA, which can be used for post-quantum signing. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Resilient_model_training_on_Red_Hat_OpenShift_AI with_Kubeflow_Trainer [Ed: Red Hat under IBM as slop pusher]⠀⇛ LLM training represents one of the most compute-intensive workloads in modern AI infrastructure.

"KSwapDoor is a professionally engineered remote access tool designed with stealth in mind," Justin Moore, senior manager of threat intel research at Palo Alto Networks Unit 42, said in a statement. "It builds an internal mesh network, allowing compromised servers to talk to each other and evade security blocks. It uses military-grade encryption to hide its communications and, most alarmingly, features a 'sleeper' mode that lets attackers bypass firewalls by waking the malware up with a secret, invisible signal." * ⚓ Security Week ☛ New_$150_Cellik_RAT_Grants_Android_Control,_Trojanizes Surveillance_Giant_Google_Play_Apps⠀⇛ The malware provides full device control and real-time surveillance capabilities like those of advanced spyware. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2534 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/19/Today_in_Techrights.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/19/Today_in_Techrights.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Today in Techrights⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 19, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Birds⦈_ ⚓ Updated This Past Day⠀⇛ 1. ⚓ Links_18/12/2025:_Fake_Videos_in_Social_Control_Media_and_"Oscars_Move to_YouTube_from_ABC"⠀⇛ Links for the day 2. ⚓ Gemini_Links_18/12/2025:_Fake_Dynamic_rendering_Site_and_Connectivity in_a_Digital_Age⠀⇛ Links for the day 3. ⚓ Links_18/12/2025:_ZorinOS_Raising_Money,_Canonical_Giving_Gifts_to Microsoft⠀⇛ Links for the day 4. ⚓ XBox_Sales_Collapsed,_XBox_Cannot_Survive⠀⇛ 2026 might be the last year of XBox consoles 5. ⚓ Free_Software_Literature_(Books)_to_Read_This_Holiday_Season⠀⇛ If you go ahead and buy a book, you not only support the FSF but also get something sent your way! 6. ⚓ Next_Year_Windows_XP_Turns_25,_Many_People_(Millions)_Still_Use_It Because_Windows_Became_Bloated_and_Unreliable⠀⇛ The "Vista" OSes are all terrible, bloated, and highly restrictive 7. ⚓ Running_Our_Own_Network_and_Building_Our_Own_Systems⠀⇛ So we can sit back, relax, and be productive 8. ⚓ EPO_Coverage_Will_Resume_When_the_Time_is_Right⠀⇛ we didn't forget about the EPO 9. ⚓ Slop_Fatigue⠀⇛ Only Linux Journal is seen pushing LLM slop today/yesterday 10. ⚓ Over_at_Tux_Machines...⠀⇛ GNU/Linux news for the past day 11. ⚓ IRC_Proceedings:_Wednesday,_December_17,_2025⠀⇛ IRC logs for Wednesday, December 17, 2025 ========================================================================= The corresponding text-only bulletin for Thursday contains all the text.

several months ago after wrestling with some other Wayland desktop environments. It does plenty of things well and finally allowed me to do screen sharing during meetings without much hassle. A couple of small utilities, hyperidle and hyprlock, handle idle time and locking the screen when I step away from my desk. However, I kept coming back after lunch and found that both of my displays were often unresponsive with a blank screen after unlocking. ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Diagnosing the issue #⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ I ran into this issue when I’d come back from lunch, hit the spacebar, and both monitors remained in power save mode. The power lights on both monitors were blinking, indicating that they were still in a low-power state. * ⚓ APNIC ☛ Journeys_in_hosting_1/x_—_Precomputed_SSH_host_keys⠀⇛ So LightNode appears to have precomputed SSH host keys for each of the unique system templates it offers as an install option. For example, all LightNode Debian 12 installations, by default, will use the same SSH host key pairs that you’ll find stored in /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*key* files. Debian 11 will use another set of keys, but common to all Debian 11 installations. And so on. It is unclear if this is a failure of entropy or if ssh-keygen is just never run, but the outcome is the same. The host keys are predictable and shared with other hosts built from the same system template configuration. I can think of two scenarios where this anomaly might purposely occur in practice. One, some hosts have multiple addresses assigned, and each address has the same SSH server daemon active and willing to accept connections across all interfaces. In this case, you’d see what looks like a multi-homed system. Honeypots may exhibit this behaviour, for example. Two, each listener address may be a different system, but host keys are being generated from the exact same entropy source for ssh- keygen, or are set to use precomputed ssh host keys. You might find this in certain enterprise or private environments as a way to simplify key management. It is this second scenario that LightNode appears to fall into. * ⚓ Koehntopp ☛ NVME_is_not_a_hard_disk⠀⇛ So somebody tweeted about the Seagate Mach.2 , a harddisk with two independent heads “combs”, and I commented in german : “It’s two drives in one chassis, even shown as two drives. And it still is rotating rust, so slow with seeks. Linear IO will be fine.” That quickly devolved in a discussion of RAID-0 on a single disk drive : “RAID-0 on a single physical drive. Yeah, you can do that if you do not need your data.” * ⚓ Linux Cloud VPS ☛ How_to_install_Java_25_on_AlmaLinux_10⠀⇛ In this blog post, we will install the latest stable version of Java and which is Java 25, on AlmaLinux 10 OS. Java is an object-oriented programming language that comes in three different editions. * ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Squid_Proxy_Server_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Proxy servers have become essential components of modern network infrastructure, providing organizations and individuals with enhanced security, bandwidth optimization, and content control. Squid stands out as one of the most powerful and widely-used open-source caching proxy solutions available today. * ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Setup_APT_Proxy_on_Linux_Mint_22⠀⇛ Managing package installations on GNU/Linux Mint 22 becomes challenging when operating behind corporate firewalls or restricted networks. APT (Advanced Package Tool) proxy configuration provides the essential bridge between your system and software repositories, ensuring seamless package management regardless of network restrictions. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3012 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/19/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/19/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 19, 2025 * § Games⠀➾ o ⚓ Seth Michael Larson ☛ Delta_emulator_adds_support_for_SEGA Genesis_games⠀⇛ The Delta emulator which I've used for mobile retro- gaming in the past has added beta support for SEGA Genesis and Master System games!

I’ve compared these custom ROMs in another article, and I don’t want to repeat those observations here; this article is more about the handset.

As it keeps gaining traction, the need for a clear “go-to” distro is becoming more obvious than ever. Immutable distros, in particular, have really taken off recently, to the point where even I ended up ditching Ubuntu for one myself. The more time I’ve spent with them, the more convinced I am that this approach makes the most sense for less tech-savvy users. The advantages they offer are simply unbeatable, and I think they are the future.
