I'm honored to be the new FSF president. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for the presidents before me, and I would like to especially thank Geoff and RMS for the work that they did in this role, as well as all the people who have supported the FSF and the free software movement over the years. The FSF turned forty this year and it was a big year for the organization. All this time, we have been working for the software freedom of all users, everywhere. We held a one day in-person event with a range of sessions including a panel of FSF board members and a panel of digital rights activists discussing topics like organizing tactics, privacy, and surveillance. We also launched Librephone, a highly technical project to directly advance freedom on phones by reverse-engineering key nonfree firmware. And we helped with the organization and promotion of thirty-plus events worldwide through our LibreLocal effort, and much more. There is an article from 2013 outlining the different elements of why you should care about free software, called "Free software is even more important now." It makes a compelling case for freedom, opposing the unjust power inherent in proprietary software and Service as a Software Substitute (SaaSS). Today, twelve years later, I believe free software is even more important now than ever, so the title is also thought-provoking. I hear it asking: how can we sustain our commitment, grow our movement, and eventually turn the tide so that "free software isn't more important every day," so that it is no longer something we need to remind people of, but a core part of daily life? Read_on Also: * ⚓ Eko_K._A._Owen_joins_the_FSF_board_as_the_union_staff_pick⠀⇛ Union staff selected outreach and communications coordinator Eko K. A. Owen to the role. Owen follows Ian Kelling, current president, who held the staff seat since its creation in 2021. At the board meeting on the 20th of December, 2025, Owen was officially welcomed to both the board of directors and the FSF's voting member bodies. This board position was created to have staff participate via this designated seat in governance deliberations. It was an important step in the FSF's effort to recognize and support new leadership, to connect that leadership to the community, and to improve transparency and accountability through giving staff a seat at the table. "The union staff seat on the board enabled me to make many positive contributions to the FSF over the last 4 years," said Kelling. "I'm confident this role will enable Eko to help the FSF in wonderful and new ways. I'm excited to be a part of it and thankful that they volunteered for it." "I'm very optimistic about the freer future we can work towards together," Eko said when asked about joining the FSF board. "User freedom is a human right, and I am honored to take part in the legacy of fighting for it." ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 188 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/31/Android_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/31/Android_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Android Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 31, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Nothing_Phone⦈_ * ⚓ Nothing_rolls_out_update_to_Phone_(3)_with_fixes_for_Glyph_Toys, Android_Auto,_and_more⠀⇛ * ⚓ One_of_the_best_Android_phones_receives_camera,_security,_and customization_improvements⠀⇛ * ⚓ Why_your_Android_phone_isn't_charging_at_full_speed_(and_how_to_fix it)⠀⇛ * ⚓ Chrome_for_Android_rolling_out_Reading_mode_redesign⠀⇛ * ⚓ The_Evolving_Landscape_of_Digital_Privacy_Perception_on_Android Devices⠀⇛ * ⚓ The_3_fastest_ways_to_capture_(and_retrieve)_ideas_on_your_Android phone⠀⇛ * ⚓ Your_Android_phone_can_bypass_hotel_Wi-Fi_limits,_here's_how⠀⇛ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⢚⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢢⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣋⣉⣉⠙⠻⠏⢻⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠉⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢡⡾⢿⢿⣿⣿⣷⡌⢻⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⡗⠓⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣤⣀⠀⢀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢃⣼⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣍⣉⣉⣡⣴⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡿⠛⠉⠉⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠛⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣶⡄⣾⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⡛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣤⣴⣿⣿⣿⢛⢻⣷⣤⣀⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠘⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠏⠋ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢻⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢺⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⠿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣴⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⠟⠛⠛⠿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 256 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/31/Arch_Linux_Installer_Archinstall_3_0_15_Adds_Support_for_the_rE.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/31/Arch_Linux_Installer_Archinstall_3_0_15_Adds_Support_for_the_rE.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Arch Linux Installer Archinstall 3.0.15 Adds Support for the rEFInd Boot Manager⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Dec 31, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Archinstall⦈_ Highlights of the Archinstall 3.0.15 release include support for rEFInd boot manager, CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) installation support, stable support for the COSMIC desktop environment, a timer to post install screen, and support for power-profiles-daemon/tuned as a power management daemon.

If you want smart things, get a pet or help wildlife. The most advanced computers and gadgets are still vastly inferior to a wasp, which not only reproduces itself but does all sorts of other things and can supply/find its own energy.

It has been highly influential and is still very much worth exploring if you’re interested in operating system history, retro-computing or are simply looking for a fun lesson in minimalism (which is quite a grounding experience in times where we have gigabytes of memory and IT people at large seem to have lost any motivation to optimize and not waste resources).

Mastodon and Bluesky are, in my opinion, superior to the centralized status quo. They’re built on important protocols: ActivityPub for Mastodon and the AT_Protocol for Bluesky. These decentralized, interoperable networks sidestep some significant security_threats and enable_tremendous_creativity. I like them both. But between the two, I predict that ActivityPub will outlast AT Proto. Specifically, I think ActivityPub will be relevant in 2050 and AT Proto will not. (I concede there’s a future where neither is relevant.) * ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ 2025’s_GNU/Linux_and_Open-Source_Moments_That_Shaped_the Year⠀⇛ A look back at the GNU/Linux and open-source moments of 2025 that influenced development and shaped the direction of the ecosystem. * ⚓ Ghacks ☛ Three_GNU/Linux_Conflicts_That_Still_Shape_the_OS_You_Use Today⠀⇛ Linux often looks calm on the surface.

Underneath that stability is decades of open conflict, technical, philosophical, and sometimes personal, that determined how Linux works today. These were not minor disagreements.

But there’s only one way to bring Python’s full functionality (really no compromises) to the browser: Pyodide. Pyodide is a full Python runtime compiled to WebAssembly that allows you to run standard Python code directly in the browser. Yes, other tools exist, but the functionality has more limits than with Pyodide. # § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ William_Durand:_My_process_for_pitching_projects_as an_engineer⠀⇛ This winter break has finally given me the mental space I needed, so I wrote another work-related article this month1, yay!

The application also remembers and restores the last active playlist on startup, reducing friction for users who rely on persistent playback queues. In addition, a new context menu entry opens files directly in Hana, KDE’s thumbnail generator when installed.

One of the biggest projects I've undertaken initially started out sounding like the simplest — finding a way to turn my washer and dryer into smart appliances. After starting this project, I learned that I would need either a Zigbee Hub or a way to control the notifications and sensors to work how I needed them to. That's when I started researching and discovered something incredible. I could turn my old Chromebook into a smart home hub and run Home Assistant OS on it to make it into the ultimate server. I just needed to delete ChromeOS, install Ubuntu, and hope that I didn't brick it in the process.

Nobody knows and almost nobody wants to guess. █ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠯⢝⠟⠻⠛⠛⠻⣿⢿⢯⣍⠛⠛⠋⠉⠛⠛⠙⠿⠝⠿⡙⠿⠿⠟⠻⠿⢿⣿⠮⡉⠙⠝⠻⠟⠿⡿⢿⠫⠫⡏⠛⠋⠙⠛⠛⠻⠌⠙⠛⢯⡻⠝⠫⣛⠻⠛⢟⠟⠻⢿⢍⠻⡟⠿⣯⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠑⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠢⣽⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡟⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢶⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣯⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣶⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣙⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡻⣿⣾⣿⣷⣶⣦⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣾⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣠⡀⠀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣀⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⠉⠛⠛⠛⠉⠋⠉⠉⠉⠈⠙⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣤⣶⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠻⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢻⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⢌⣷⣦⣶⣍⡹⢿⣿⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣻⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⢤⣄⠰⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢐⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠷⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠉⠁⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣐⢿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⢠⣴⣿⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢙⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡯⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣶⡿⠛⠁⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⣠⣶⣶⣿⣶⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣷⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣀⣰⣶⣿⠿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⠁⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣼⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⣿⣿⡿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠲⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡄⠀⢸⠿⠃⠀⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢔⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣄⡚⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣤⣤⣄⠀⣀⣠⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣲⣬⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣯⡀⣠⣴⣬⣶⣤⣠⣄⡦⣶⣄⡠⣕⣦⣢⣤⣐⢷⣶⣕⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣼⣶⣦⣤⣄⣰⣦⣄⣙⣦⣕⣕⣶⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1206 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/31/KDE_Ni_OS_new_logo_and_the_initial_repository.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/31/KDE_Ni_OS_new_logo_and_the_initial_repository.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ KDE Ni!

The two companies are combining Kontron’s hardened Linux-based operating system, KontronOS, with congatec’s application- ready aReady.COM ecosystem. The collaboration is relevant as it addresses growing security and regulatory pressures in embedded design, including IEC 62443 requirements and the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). By integrating preconfigured hardware and software building blocks, the partners aim to reduce development effort, speed up certification, and lower total system costs. o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Add_four_Gigabit_or_2.5Gbps_Ethernet_ports_to_the Raspberry_Pi_5_with_this_expansion_board⠀⇛ Waveshare PCIE TO 4-CH Gigabit/2.5G ETH Board (B) is a 4- port Gigabit or 2.5 Gbps Ethernet board designed for the Raspberry Pi 5. This board connects four RJ45 ports to the Pi’s 16-pin PCIe interface and also includes a mounting option for the Pi5 Connector Adapter (C). The only limiting factor is the Pi’s PCIe Gen2/Gen3 x1 interface, as the 2.5GbE ports share the available bandwidth and cannot operate at full speed simultaneously. The Gigabit Ethernet variant features Realtek RTL8153 USB to Ethernet controllers, while the 2.5GbE variant relies on RTL8156 controllers, and both integrate a VL805 PCIe to USB bridge chip. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ TULIP:_The_Ultimate_Intelligent_Peripheral_For_The_HP- 41_Handheld_Calculator⠀⇛ [Andrew Menadue] wrote in to let us know about the TULIP- DevBoard and TULIP-Module being developed on GitHub. o ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Experiencing_This_Powerful_NXP_SBC_Made_Me_Realize_of My_Limitations⠀⇛ Using an industry-oriented device can surely test the limits of a DIY enthusiast. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Xcc700:_Self-Hosted_C_Compiler_For_The_ESP32/Xtensa⠀⇛ With two cores at 240 MHz and about 8.5 MB of non-banked RAM if you’re using the right ESP32-S3 version, this MCU seems at least in terms of specifications to be quite the mini PC. Obviously this means that it should be capable of self-hosting its compiler, which is exactly what [Valentyn Danylchuk] did with the xcc700 C compiler project. o ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Open_source_project_brings_53-year-old_interface to_USB_—_GPIB_adapter_v3_adds_integrated_Ethernet_port_with_PoE⠀⇛ An open source USB to GPIB adapter will soon reach version 3, bringing an integrated Ethernet port with PoE support to the design. Project originator Kai Gossner (Xyphro) recently contacted CNX Software about the impending milestone. Regular readers will have moderately fresh GPIB imprints on their brains, as we recently reported on this ancient (53-year-old) cable connectivity standard introduced by HP back in 1972 getting its first stable Linux driver. o ⚓ Ken Shirriff ☛ Conditions_in_the_Intel_8087_floating-point_chip's microcode⠀⇛ In the 1980s, if you wanted your computer to do floating- point calculations faster, you could buy the Intel 8087 floating-point coprocessor chip. Plugging it into your IBM PC would make operations up to 100 times faster, a big boost for spreadsheets and other number-crunching applications. The 8087 uses complicated algorithms to compute trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions. These algorithms are implemented inside the chip in microcode. I'm part of a group that is reverse- engineering this microcode. In this post, I examine the 49 types of conditional tests that the 8087's microcode uses inside its algorithms. Some conditions are simple, such as checking if a number is zero or negative, while others are specialized, such as determining what direction to round a number. * § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Guido_Günther:_Phosh_2025_in_Retrospect⠀⇛ As in previous, years we took another look back at what changed in Phosh in 2025 and instead of just updating our notes why not again share it again here: The Phosh developers focus from day one was to make devices running Phosh daily drivable without having to resort to any proprietary OSes as a fallback. This year showed improvements in some important areas people rely on like cell broadcasts and emergency calls, further improving usability and starting some ground work we’ll need for some upcoming features. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣆⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢋⣐⣆⣤⡄⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢰⣿⢹⣾⣿⣿⠀⠀⣶⣣⢦⡴⣶⣖⡖⣖⣶⣶⡾⣉⡷ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⢧⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣴⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣄⠀⠑⣝⣍⡀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⢄⡀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣽⣷⢋⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⣴⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⣴⠤⣸⣧⠀⢀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠋⠁⣸⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⢛ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠛⠋⠉⣾⡿⣮⡷⣿⣿⠃⠈⠙⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢚⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⡇⠀⣴⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠚⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣾⢸⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣟⣾⣿⠇⢀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣼⣇⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⡏⠀⠈⠛⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⢿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⡿⣿⣿⠇⢀⣤⣤⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣤⣈⣉⣍⠒⠉⣁⡜⠛⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠻⣾⣶⣿⣷⣶⠤⠀⢀⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⢿⣿⣿⣟⣋⡁ ⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⡤⣬⣯⣭⣭⣭⣅⣀⣀⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡮⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠠⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢭⣭⣛⣛⣓⣺⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣛ ⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⡉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⣨⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⠀⠀⠘⠋⠉⠥⢼⣿⣀⠀⠀⢈⣙⣾⠏⠛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢀⠀⢈⣉⣉⣛⣛⠛⠒⠲⠾⠿⠯⣥⣮⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣅⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠘⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⢻⣿⣷⣶⣶⣷⣶⣾⣿⣯⣭⣭ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠲⠶⠶⠯⣽⣿⣷⣿⣛⣻⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠛⠷⠿⠦⠤⠤ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⢤⣌⣉⠉⢉⠒⠂⠀⠤⠠⢄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠑⠘⠚⠒⠒⠠⢄⣀⠁⠀⠀⠂⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1457 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/31/Linux_Kernel_Space_File_Systems_Virtualization_Key_performance_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/12/31/Linux_Kernel_Space_File_Systems_Virtualization_Key_performance_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Linux Kernel Space / File Systems / Virtualization: Key performance boost feature, patented Microsoft trap, and IEEE-488 gets a stable Linux driver⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 31, 2025 * ⚓ Neowin ☛ Linux_finally_getting_key_performance_boost_feature_that backdoored_Windows_11/10_has_had_for_years⠀⇛ Linux is finally getting an important performance-boosting feature that has been present on backdoored Windows 11 and 10 for several years now. * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ NTFSPlus_Becomes_"NTFS"_as_Driver_Moves_Closer_to_Kernel Integration [Ed: Proprietary and patented maze]⠀⇛ The v3 patch series brings improved performance and new features while dropping the "Plus" moniker. * ⚓ Adafruit ☛ After_all_these_years,_IEEE-488_gets_a_stable_Linux_driver⠀⇛ GPIB was used on vintage lab instruments and similar hardware.

Donate to Open - FOSS Force — I’m topping the list with the FSF — which is in the middle of its big annual fundraising drive — even though on the day before Christmas it announced that it just became the beneficiary of two contributions totaling around $900,000. “These incredible acts of generosity are a true gift in a challenging time for many, including many organizations like ours,” said Zoë Kooyman, the FSF’s executive director. “It proves that software freedom is recognized more and more as a principal issue today, at the core of several other social movements people care about like privacy, ownership, and the right to repair.” The good news is that when these donations arrived, the organization was already about three quarters of the way to meeting its winter fundraising goal of $400,000. With these donations, they can move the priority away from raising money — although the drive continues until January 16 — to concentrate on gaining new members, which was already a part of this effort.

It uses debug information under the hood to present you with a tidy backtrace and also determine how much machine code to print when you type disassemble. This debug information comes from your compiler. Clang, GCC, rustc, etc all produce debug data in a format called DWARF and then embed that debug information inside the binary (ELF, Mach- O, …) when you do -ggdb or equivalent. * ⚓ Farid Zakaria ☛ Huge_binaries:_papercuts_and_limits⠀⇛ This is a good example that only a select few are facing the size-pressure of massive binaries. * ⚓ Marco Roth ☛ Glamorous_Christmas:_Bringing_Charm_to_Ruby⠀⇛ Today, Ruby 4.0 was released. What an exciting milestone for the language! This release brings some amazing new features like the experimental Ruby::Box isolation mechanism, the new ZJIT compiler, significant performance improvements for class instantiation, and promotions of Set and Pathname to core classes. It’s incredible to see how Ruby continues to thrive and be pushed forward 30 years after its first release. * ⚓ Arpit Bhayani ☛ What_are_Blocking_Queues_and_Why_We_Need_Them⠀⇛ Concurrent programming is one of the most interesting and challenging aspects of software engineering. When multiple goroutines need to share data, coordinating access becomes critical. One elegant solution to this is the blocking queue, a data structure that changes how we think about thread coordination. In this article, we will explore what blocking queues are, how they work, and why they’re essential for building robust concurrent systems. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Stenberg:_No_strcpy_either⠀⇛ Daniel Stenberg has written a blog_post about the decision to ban the use strcpy() in curl: [...] * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Simon Willison ☛ TIL:_Downloading_archived_Git_repositories_from archive.softwareheritage.org⠀⇛ Since this is taxpayer-funded open source software I saw it as my moral duty to try and restore access! It turns out a full copy had been captured by the Software Heritage archive, so I was able to restore the repository from there. My copy is now archived at simonw/sqlite- s3vfs. o ⚓ Hugo van Kemenade ☛ Replacing_python-dateutil_to_remove_six⠀⇛ The dateutil library is a popular and powerful Python library for dealing with dates and times. However, it still supports Python 2.7 by depending on the six compatibility shim, and I’d prefer not to install for Python 3.10 and higher. Here’s how I replaced three uses of its relativedelta in a couple of CLIs that didn’t really need to use it. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ [Old] Efron Licht ☛ Golang_Quirks_&_Intermediate_Tricks,_Pt_1: Declarations,_Control_Flow,_&_Typesystem⠀⇛ Go is secretly a C-like language that terminates statements with semicolons. The semicolons are actually inserted early in compilation (during lexing). This means you can put multiple statements on the same line by inserting semicolons! Be warned: gofmt will usually break them up into multiple lines. In fact, you can never have a single-line conditional. (Sorry, ternary conditional fans.)

In my last article, we covered intermediate topics, like declaration, control flow, and the type system. Now we’re going to get into more advanced topics: concurrency, unsafe, and reflect. By their nature, these articles are somewhat of a grab- bag without unifying theme, but the extremely positive response to the last one has convinced me they’re worthwhile as a kind of whirlwind tour of more advanced topics. As before, I’ll link to the Go spec where appropriate.

Shotcut 25.12 adds a new setting called Processing Mode for video processing, which affects both preview and export.

Until now, 10-bit video support was limited when working outside GPU effects, forcing users to avoid transitions, blending, or many CPU-based filters to prevent a fallback to 8- bit processing. With this release, many CPU video effects have been ported to support both 10-bit and 12-bit sources, including transitions and track compositing. In addition, CPU filters tagged for 10-bit operation now function correctly when combined with experimental GPU processing, allowing more flexible workflows without sacrificing bit depth.

mouse input, as reported here: https://bkhome.org/news/202510/mix-libinput-evdev-and- synaptics-drivers.html So EasyOS 7.0.24 had mouse input changed from evdev to libinput. Now at Easy 7.1, I discovered that mouse input is broken again. It happened on a couple of sites, including my bank login - - clicking the mouse pointer on the account name and password fields did not activate them and was unable to type anything. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Linux_Fu:_Compose_Yourself!⠀⇛ Our computers can display an astonishing range of symbols. Unicode alone defines more than 150,000 characters, covering everything from mathematical operators and phonetic alphabets to emoji and obscure historical scripts. Our keyboards, on the other hand, remain stubbornly limited to a few dozen keys. * ⚓ Basic_GNU/Linux_Commands⠀⇛ Basic GNU/Linux Commands Basic GNU/Linux commands are essential tools used to navigate the system, manage files, and monitor system information through the terminal.

Of course, a HA PostgreSQL that works with just two Datacenters has lots more usecases. Let me explain how to perform an initial setup like the one that I use for development. * ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ Linux_du_Command_Examples_for_Disk_Usage_Analysis⠀⇛ * ⚓ Linux Host Support ☛ How_to_install_Odoo_19_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ This blog post covers how to install Odoo 19 on Debian 13.

MariaDB is an open-source relational database management system, a replacement for MySQL with many improvements, such as performance, flexibility, and reliability.
