About RMS and J. Self⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 29, 2025 * ⚓ [Old] Freenet Africa ☛ Richard_Stallman:_The_Legend_of_Software_Freedom that_Saved_the_World⠀⇛ Imagine a world where every time you want to share a cool app with a friend, you have to ask permission (and maybe pay extra). Or where fixing a simple bug in your game is impossible because the code is locked away like a secret recipe. Sounds like a tech dystopia, right? This is exactly the kind of world Richard Stallman set out to prevent. Stallman – often known just by his initials RMS – is not as instantly famous as tech giants like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, but his impact on our digital lives is monumental. He’s the mastermind behind the GNU Project, the founder of the Free Software Foundation (FSF), and the author of licenses that guarantee software freedom. In short, he’s the original software freedom fighter, a kind of digital rights Gandalf (yes, with the beard to match). And for a guy who champions “free” software, he’s quick to tell you: we’re talking free as in freedom, not just free as in price. In this essay, we’ll dive into Richard Stallman’s contributions to the digital world in an engaging (and occasionally humorous) way. By the end, you’ll understand how his work laid the foundation for Linux and the whole open-source ecosystem, why he insists on calling it “GNU/Linux,” and what the internet might look like if Stallman hadn’t started his crusade for software freedom. Grab a snack (maybe some free-as-in-freedom nachos?) and let’s explore the world of Stallman and the movement he started. * ⚓ You_Are_Likely_to_Be_Eaten_by_a_Grue:_The_Current_State_of_Interactive Fiction⠀⇛ Over a decade ago, I had an idea for a text adventure game. It started as a faint narrative thread in the back of my mind, but as I began to pull at it - fleshing out the story, imagining the puzzles, and structuring the world - I naturally shifted to thinking about implementation, and my first instinct was to avoid reinventing the wheel. Surely, in a genre as historic as interactive fiction, there were already free software tools to build these games? I set out to find out. I expected to find what I always find when I explore a new domain of software: a vibrant ecosystem of free software. [...] Some time later, a group of hackers at MIT decided they could do better than Colossal Cave. They were part of the Dynamic Modelling (DM) group, which was located in the same building (545 Tech Square) as the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Lab, where Richard Stallman worked. Both groups were steeped in the same hacker culture and had a PDP-10 mainframe running the Incompatible Timesharing System (ITS). ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 222 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/29/Audiocasts_Shows_2_New_Episodes_From_LINUX_Unplugged_and_Going_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/29/Audiocasts_Shows_2_New_Episodes_From_LINUX_Unplugged_and_Going_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Audiocasts/Shows: 2 New Episodes From LINUX Unplugged and Going Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 29, 2025 * ⚓ Plausibly_Postulated_Prophecies_|_LINUX_Unplugged_647⠀⇛ We make our big GNU/Linux predictions for 2026, but first, we score how we did for 2025. * ⚓ Going_Linux_#474_·_Bluetooth_Devices⠀⇛ Bill is still running Manjaro with KDE.

Playing videos and music, browsing the internet, and playing games from Steam and other libraries should be easy and require no prior knowledge. However, the entire project is still under development, so at this time we only recommend it to people with basic computer skills who want to try out the distribution and don’t require their system to be absolutely stable and error-free. GuideOS is not an attempt to become the next “big” distribution or to outperform existing projects.

You will find these packages at the origin location: https:// slackware.nl/alien-kde/current/testing/ together with an expansive README which will help you remove KDE Plasma5 from your Slackware- current computer and install the ‘ktown‘ version of KDE Plasma6 instead.

Except the past week has obviously been the holiday week, and this rc release is pretty small as a result. Very much as expected. It's pretty much all drivers, with the bulk of it being GPU, sound, and some USB driver updates (mostly reverts). And "bulk" here is very relative, because even those changes aren't all that big. The rest is a random collection of fixes and updates, this time the shortlog below is short enough that you might as well just scroll down and scan it. TL;DR: powerpc and RISC-V updates, some filesystem noise (mostly smb and nfsd), and some virtio tooling, and random small commits.

into the night. It looked and acted healthy, but they're not meant to remain exposed like this overnight. They're vulnerable in isolation. Similarly, it's unsafe for humans to be out when it's dark, especially when (or if) everyone else isn't out. In the Free Software Community, or in the Free Software Movement (FSM) as the Free Software Foundation (FSF) might call it, people need to become parts of large groups or work with other groups. Sharing and collaboration make better, safer code. They say there's "strength in numbers" and they say transparency (or daylight) can decrease suspicion, mistrust, mischief. Flocks of Free Software (libre code) developers make strong communities, whereas with proprietary software that typically means colleagues because only one company develop its software. Once this company dies, the software will rot and its users will rot too.

Luckily, as that port became obsolete we got the Raspberry Pi, which has the GPIO and a number of other advantages over huge desktop computers from the 90s and 00s as well. But if you really miss that form factor or as yearn for the days of the old parallel port, this build which puts a Raspberry Pi into a mini ITX desktop case is just the thing for you. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Retro_Semiconductors:_The_Silicon_Controlled_Rectifier⠀⇛ Over on YouTube [Lockdown Electronics] reviews an old bit of kit known as the Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR). Invented in the 1950s the SCR is a type of thyristor and they were popular back in the 1970s. They are often replaced these days by the TRIAC and the MOSFET but you might still find some old schematics that call for them and you can still buy them. * ⚓ Andrew Hutchings ☛ A_Socket_7_Upgrade:_Moving_Beyond_the_486⠀⇛ A while back I built a 486-based machine to play with some late 80s / early 90s games, as well as try out hardware of the era. I blogged about the process here, with an update here. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ Display_your_photos_like_they’re_in_MacPaint⠀⇛ LackPaint is basically a digital photo frame. Except instead of showing boring old family photos in the usual way, it displays them as heavily dithered grayscale images with a MacPaint software border. What you lose in fidelity, you gain in unfettered vintage vibes. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1132 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/29/Physical_Safety.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/29/Physical_Safety.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Physical Safety⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 29, 2025, updated Dec 29, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Famous_man_from_the_1800s⦈_ Famous or "high-profile" people have long been targeted for their perceived political views and assassinations as a political tactic aren't new; they're more than centuries old.

You may think this goes without saying, considering that I’m, well, a programmer, but I don’t think programmers necessarily like programming languages. Let me explain. * ⚓ Casey Primozic ☛ A_Modern_Recommender_Model_Architecture⠀⇛ The model follows the high-level design of a Denoising Autoencoder. It uses user profiles as input (what shows the user watched and what they rated them) and holds out some percentage of its entries during training. The model is then trained to re-construct the full profile, including the held- out entries. Like all autoencoders, the model also has a bottleneck layer which is significantly smaller than the input. This forces the model to learn to effectively compress the input into a more efficient internal representation rather than just passing it through or memorizing it. * ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ The_Compact_Index:_How_Bundler_Scales_Dependency Resolution⠀⇛ In October 2012, Bundler’s success was killing RubyGems.org. Dependency resolution requires knowing what each version of each gem depends on, and dependencies form a graph, not a tree. You can’t resolve one package without potentially needing metadata about hundreds of others. Unlike curated distribution repositories, language registries rarely remove packages or old versions, so the index only ever grows. Fetching that information one gem at a time over HTTP is painfully slow, so Bundler had a dependency API that returned everything in bulk. It made bundle install fast, but it was consuming so many server resources that the site faced periodic outages and emergency throttling. * ⚓ Daniel Lemire ☛ Don’t_be_so_eager_to_rewrite_your_code⠀⇛ If you maintain software projects, you see it all the time. Someone new comes along and they want to start rewriting everything. They always have subjective arguments: it is going to be more maintainable or safer or just more elegant. If your code is battle tested… then the correct instinct is to be conservative and keep your current code. Sometimes you need to rewrite your code : you made a mistake or must change your architecture. But most times, the old code is fine and investing time in updating your current code is better than starting anew. * ⚓ Daniel Lemire ☛ Parsing_IP_addresses_quickly_(portably,_without_SIMD magic)⠀⇛ What if you want high speed without too much work or a specialized library? You can try to roll your own. But since I am civilized programmer, I just asked my favorite AI to write it for me. * ⚓ Unnamed Website ☛ Haskelling_My_Typst⠀⇛ Typst is a typesetting system similar to LaTeX. It’s also a dynamically typed programming language with value semantics, so of course the natural question is: Can we implement the Haskell lazy infinite lists trick in Typst? * ⚓ Efron Licht ☛ Have_you_tried_turning_it_off_and_on_again?⠀⇛ This holy trinity: “Restart, Reboot, Reinstall” - has a higher success rate than any other debug or repair strategy since the first MOS 6502 rolled off the assembly line in 1975. They are remarkably universal and effective repair strategies. They are so universal and effective that we sometimes don’t think of them as strategies at all. How many times over the last few days have you had to do one or more of these things? All of these events took place over the last 72 hours: [...] * ⚓ Steffen Vogel ☛ A_New_Home_for_My_Open_Source_Projects:_Embracing Codeberg⠀⇛ More than 14 years ago, I migrated my 26 open source code project to GitHub. Back then GitHub was a fresh and modern platform pushing the boundaries of collaborative software development. Over the years, however, my perspective on GitHub has changed significantly. I have recently migrated my by now 79 repositories from GitHub to Codeberg, a decision driven by several significant factors. * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ F***_You!_Co-Creator_of_Go_Language_is_Rightly_Furious_Over This_Appreciation_Email⠀⇛ And I understand why he got annoyed and angry. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Fish_Shell_4.3_Released_With_Scripting_and_Terminal Improvements⠀⇛ On first startup after upgrading, Fish performs a one- time migration, freezing the current theme and key bindings into files under ~/.config/fish/conf.d/. Upstream recommends removing those generated files and managing themes directly in config.fish to keep configurations clean and predictable. Users can still opt into universal variables if needed, though this comes with limitations for dynamic theme switching. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1374 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/29/Proprietary_Software_and_Games_Rotting_Away.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/29/Proprietary_Software_and_Games_Rotting_Away.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Proprietary Software (and Games) Rotting Away⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 29, 2025 * ⚓ Windows Central ☛ I've_been_dual-booting_Windows_11_and_Linux_in_total harmony_throughout_2025_—_Microsoft_is_in_no_danger_of_a_mass_exodus_ (unless_it_fumbles_AI_in_Windows_12) [Ed: "Windows 12" is nonsense vapourware, "AI" is more nonsense, and this is curious-trolling, not journalism.

While gamers were busy enjoying their favorite titles, behind the scenes, studios were shutting down one after another. Over 9,000 layoffs and more than 25 full studio closures painted a stark picture, proving that even beloved projects and skilled teams aren’t safe from economic pressures and tough market conditions. * ⚓ CBC ☛ Halifax_video_game_workers_form_first_Ubisoft_union_in_North America⠀⇛ About 60 Halifax workers for global video game giant Ubisoft have formed the company's first union in North America. T.J. Gillis, a senior server developer at Ubisoft Halifax, says he became increasingly concerned about the growth of artificial intelligence in the industry and after the closure of a Microsoft gaming studio in Halifax, Alpha Dog, in 2024. “We're seeing a ton of studios, especially larger studios, just letting people go with no unions or support, people were just being left to fend for themselves. Often times having to leave industry,” said Gillis. Gillis said he got into contact with CWA Canada to begin efforts to build a union with other colleagues. CWA Canada also represents about 120 Montreal workers at Bethesda Game Studios, which is owned by Microsoft and produces popular video games like Fallout. “I think this is a right direction for us to be moving to, especially with AI coming in where we want to maintain the artistic value of game development,” Gillis said. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1448 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/29/The_5_best_macOS_like_Linux_desktop_environments_for_a_polished.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/29/The_5_best_macOS_like_Linux_desktop_environments_for_a_polished.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ The 5 best macOS-like Linux desktop environments for a polished, modern look⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 29, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇tux_and_mac⦈_ Quoting: The 5 best mac-OS like Linux desktop environments — Pantheon is the desktop environment powering elementary OS, and it’s designed from the ground up to resemble macOS, offering a polished two-panel layout. There’s a dock at the bottom for pinned and running apps, along with a menu-bar-like top panel that houses the app launcher on the left, the clock in the center, and quick settings on the right. What’s missing is a global app menu—a key macOS feature. Still, the overall aesthetic is clean, minimal, and immediately recognizable to anyone who’s used a Mac. Pantheon’s biggest strength is its utilitarian philosophy. It’s built for people who want something that just works, without endless tweaking. The downside is limited customization. You can change the wallpaper and color scheme, but that’s about it. That said, what I personally find confusing is how, despite this no-nonsense approach, Pantheon has an almost childish aesthetic with its bright color palette and playful icon design. Now, the best way to experience Pantheon is through elementary OS itself. You can also install it on openSUSE Tumbleweed, or EndeavourOS.

You can then either select the bit of the photo where no-one is blinking, or you can send the whole thing as a little movie. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1961 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/29/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/29/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 29, 2025 * § Server⠀➾ o ⚓ Balasankar_'Balu'_C:_Granting_Namespace-Specific_Access_in_GKE Clusters⠀⇛ Heyo, In production Kubernetes environments, access control becomes critical when multiple services share the same cluster. I recently faced this exact scenario: a GKE cluster hosting multiple services across different namespaces, where a new team needed access to maintain and debug their service-but only their service. The requirement was straightforward yet specific: grant external users the ability to exec into pods, view logs, and forward ports, but restrict this access to a single namespace within a single GKE cluster. No access to other clusters in the Surveillance Giant Google Cloud project, and no access to other namespaces. * § Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux Links ☛ letmein_–_authenticated_port/firewall_knocking⠀⇛ Letmein is a port knocker with a simple and secure authentication mechanism.

Then I got really excited about HA clustering, only to decide that those mini PCs weren't powerful enough and move the whole shebang onto a Strix Halo mini PC with tons of RAM. It'll be going onto a dedicated server in a 6U chassis after the holidays have quietened down, but the constant shifting in scale has taught me one thing. I need to be smarter about the images I use to create my containers and VMs, and also that automation tools are my next knowledge gap. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_automated_my_Proxmox_home_lab_with_Terraform⠀⇛ Besides housing my self-hosted arsenal, Proxmox serves as a solid testing ground for tinkering with VMs and training my DevOps skills. After all, it’s light enough to run on practically any old hardware, while including advanced features such as clustering and SDN stacks without charging a dime. In fact, I often use Proxmox with different automation services just to get the hang of managing nodes via configuration files. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Running_Proxmox_VMs_with_GPU_passthrough_is_much_easier_than_it used_to_be⠀⇛ Proxmox includes plenty of advanced options to make your home lab a force to be reckoned with, including everything from clusters and SDN tools to ZFS-powered RAID pools and cloud-init templates. But if you’re working on intensive virtual machine projects, you’ll want to arm them with ample system resources. And I don’t just mean extra v-cores and memory, either. Since Proxmox supports GPU passthrough, you can even equip your VM with a graphics card to boost its prowess in gaming, LLM training, and other demanding tasks. On the surface, GPU passthrough may seem rather convoluted, as you’ll have to configure a bunch of settings, modify some kernel parameters, and tweak certain config files to leverage your graphics card in your virtual machine. However, it’s a lot more straightforward than you might think – even more so when you rely on third-party tools. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2123 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/29/Web_Static_Site_Generators_and_BSDCan_2026_Call_For_Papers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/29/Web_Static_Site_Generators_and_BSDCan_2026_Call_For_Papers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Web, Static Site Generators, and BSDCan 2026 Call For Papers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 29, 2025 * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o ⚓ Mira Welner ☛ Updates_to_my_Raspberry_Pi_Website⠀⇛ However, since writing that tutorial, I have made a multitude of improvements to my site, and at this point, the previous post no longer describes the current site I am running.

Authored by Domenic Denicola and Jeremy Roman at Google, the No-Vary-Search HTTP response header field proposal enables a server to declare that some aspects of the URL’s query string are irrelevant for the purposes of caching. Its syntax can express that the order of parameters doesn’t matter, or that some (or all) of the parameters haven’t influenced the content of the response. Barry Pollard has recently explained how that works in Fixing the URL params performance penalty but, in short, a typical response would look like: [...] * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ Murtuzaali Surti ☛ Adding_Custom_Anchors_to_Headings_in_Markdown -_Eleventy⠀⇛ Anchors are nothing but id attributes applied to an element to link to it using href attribute internally on the same page.
