The change is part of Archboot’s development cycle leading up to the 2026.01 release and is already available in the latest tagged builds. With COSMIC now integrated, users can boot an Archboot ISO and choose the desktop to either perform a full Arch Linux installation or start a live session for testing and recovery.

Since my first upgrade was a long and annoying process, I figured I would take notes for the second round. These notes are “how not to do it”, even if the end-result is KDE Plasma Wayland on FreeBSD 15, as desired. The laptop I have already upgraded is a Framework 13 with an AMD 7640U CPU and integrated AMD Radeon (Phoenix1) GPU. That ran into the problem that the amdgpu kernel driver would panic with the stock kernel. After building a world and kernel and packages of the driver that are all patched and consistent, the system works fine. The laptop I’m going to upgrade is a Slimbook Base 14 with defective chip maker Intel i5-10210U and integrated defective chip maker Intel Comet Lake GT2 GPU. This laptop has a FreeBSD 14 install on it, but I’m pretty sure I never ran it as a laptop-daily-driver. This is my openSUSE laptop most of the time. * ⚓ Arseny ☛ FreeBSD:_Home_NAS,_part_2_–_introduction_to_Packet_Filter_(PF) firewall⠀⇛ I’m continuing to gradually set up my home NAS on FreeBSD, and the first thing I want to dive into is FreeBSD firewalls. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 493 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/04/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Scientific_Publishing_and_S.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/04/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Scientific_Publishing_and_S.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free, Libre, and Open Source Software, Scientific Publishing, and Standards⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 04, 2026 * ⚓ Paperless-ngx ☛ Paperless-ngx⠀⇛ Paperless-ngx is a community-supported open-source document management system that transforms your physical documents into a searchable online archive so you can keep, well, less paper. * ⚓ Andre Franca ☛ Immich_on_a_Raspberry_Pi⠀⇛ This post is not a tutorial, but rather my account of the process of migrating my photos from iCloud to Immich and how my Raspberry Pi has been able to run it without many issues. * ⚓ Joerg_Jaspert:_Hey_Hi_(AI)_Shit,_go_away;_iocaine_to_the_rescue⠀⇛ As a lot of people do, I have some content that is reachable using webbrowsers. There is the password manager Vaultwarden, an instance of Immich, ForgeJo for some personal git repos, my blog and some other random pages here and All of this never had been a problem, running a webserver is a relatively simple task, no matter if you use apache2 , nginx or any of the other possibilities. And the things mentioned above bring their own daemon to serve the users. * ⚓ Jonas Schäfer ☛ Darktable_Styles_mimicing_Fujifilm's_Film_Simulations⠀⇛ The reason for that is what Fujifilm calls "Film Simulations". Apparently, they sampled film stock and made magic which made their JPEGs look as if shot on that specific analogue film. The styles range from highly saturated styles aimed at landscape photography ("Velvia") via solid standard profiles ("Pro Neg Hi") to completely monochrome ("Acros"). Those film sims can be selected at will and the live view in the viewfinder and on the LCD shows a realistic preview of what the photo's JPEG will look like. This is actually a good thing first and foremost: it saves a lot of time! I can do a lot of development right in the camera, especially since it not only supports the film sims themselves, but allows tweaking them further, with options like tone curve adjustments, saturation changes and even a basic "local contrast" filter ("Clarity"). But, there are two downsides: lack of flexibility in the cases where postprocessing is actually needed and, in particular for newcomers, a bad user experience. o § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ # § Open Access/Content⠀➾ # ⚓ University of Exeter ☛ Funding_agencies_can_end profit-first_science_publishing⠀⇛ The new paper says the current relationship between researchers, funders and commercial publishers has created a “drain” – depriving the research system of money, time, trust and control. The research team used public revenue and income statements to assess the money being spent on publishing articles with the biggest commercial publishers, and placed this in the broader historical context, including recent trends. # ⚓ arXiv ☛ [2511.04820]_The_Drain_of_Scientific Publishing⠀⇛ The domination of scientific publishing in the Global North by major commercial publishers is harmful to science. We need the most powerful members of the research community, funders, governments and Universities, to lead the drive to re- communalise publishing to serve science not the market. o § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ # ⚓ James G ☛ Turn_a_list_into_a_web_feed⠀⇛ When I built this project, I decided that I wanted to offer both a web page and a web feed to which people could subscribe.

realize how much I need KDE — Recently I decided to try using Xfce as my main desktop environment on my primary tower PC. I typically stick with KDE Plasma on most devices, and after weeks with Xfce, I just feel more affirmed in my preference for KDE for daily driving. I've already been asked why I was doing this, and the answer is simple: to try something different. In the context of desktop environments, you can't know what you're missing out until you start actually trying to fit it into your daily workflow.

OS – installing packages from source – Plasma Pass | Ivan Čukić — KDE Ni! OS recently got a new package installed by default – Daniel Vrátil’s Plasma Pass applet. Plasma Pass is a Plasma applet to access passwords from pass, the standard UNIX password manager. You can find more information about the applet in Dan’s blog post. As NixOS doesn’t currently offer Plasma Pass in its repositories, the package is installed in Ni! OS from the sources as in some other BTW, I use … distributions. In NixOS, this is easily done via overlays. We can create an overlay that defines the plasma-pass package so that it can be installed as if it were a real NixOS package.

Photoshop is actually very unintuitive and the keyboard shortcuts weren’t working for me; Paint Tool Sai had better shortcuts, but the UI confused me. It’s when I found Krita, which became my favorite software in large part because the basics seemed intuitive and the keyboard shortcuts were so much more comfortable than the alternatives, but also in part because it had a cute mascot drawn by a furry. That’s how I heard about KDE for the first time. Being a Portuguese and German Language and Literature university student who was trying to learn German, in 2016 I was pissed off by Windows making money with licenses that prohibited you from installing other languages. It’s effectively knowledge gating for greed reasons, so I went looking for the reasonable alternative, Linux. I started with LXDE and XFCE, of course, since I wanted everything to be lightweight (unlike Windows). I switched to KDE Plasma 5 in 2017. A year later, in 2018, I started using Reddit. By then I knew one thing or two about Linux, and started providing user support there. Later on I was dissatisfied with the r/KDE sidebar, so I volunteered to fix it as a moderator; more importantly and selfishly, I wanted custom flairs for myself, so I selflessly fixed all custom flairs on new Reddit (I strongly dislike old Reddit to this day). The current sidebar of the new Reddit version of r/KDE still is 90% of what I did back then.

In 2018, I made a TLA+ specification of vchan: I created a specification of the protocol from the C code, used the model checker (TLC) to test that the protocol worked on small models, and wrote a machine-verified proof of Integrity (that the data received always matched what was sent). I also outlined a proof of Availability (that data sent will eventually arrive, rather than the system deadlocking or going around in circles).

The December 2023 baseline used Ubuntu 23.10, Linux 6.7 and Mesa 24.0-devel graphics drivers via the Oibaf PPA. The end-of- 2025 retest moved to an Ubuntu 26.04 daily build with Linux 6.18, GCC 15.2 and Mesa 25.2. Phoronix kept the comparison honest by sticking to 215 benchmarks that still build and run cleanly on the newer stack.

One important change is that both the KDE Plasma 6.5 and GNOME 49 flavors use Wayland by default, which means that users who decide to upgrade to Manjaro 26.0 could lose their X11 sessions.

Unlike today’s Windows- Mac duopoly, this era was much more of a free-for-all but that didn’t mean companies like Microsoft weren’t trying to clean up all of this mess. In 1983 they introduced the MSX standard for computers, hoping to coalesce users around a single design. Eventually it became very successful in Japan and saw some use in a few other places but is now relegated to the dustbin of history, but a new FPGA kit unofficially supports this standard. * ⚓ Matthew Brunelle ☛ Review_of_HackerBox_0122_-_Ouroboros⠀⇛ This month's box includes a OVcam based camera board and ECG measurement board!

I’m talking about Pebble Round 2, a modern reimagining of the beloved Pebble Time Round from 2015, once known as the thinnest smartwatch ever made. At the center of the update is a new 1.3-inch color e-paper display that now covers the entire face of the watch. The large bezel of the original model is gone, replaced by a bezel-free design that delivers a resolution of 260×260 pixels at 283 DPI—roughly double the pixel count of the first Round.

That’s fine most of the time, except when you’re in command-line mode (meaning you’re typing something like :s). In command-line mode there’s no way to switch to normal mode, so if you make a typo or want to edit a command you’ve previous invoked that’s a bit painful. Recently I’ve discovered a way to mitigate the problem - namely the command history window. (see :h cmdwin for details) You can trigger in a couple of ways: [...] * ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ The_Package_Management_Landscape⠀⇛ Each programming language ecosystem has at least one package manager, often several.

We’ll teach you how to master the command-line, use a powerful text editor, use fancy features of version control systems, and much more! * § Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ Hugo van Kemenade ☛ Localising_xkcd_·_Hugo_van_Kemenade⠀⇛ I gave a lightning talk at a bunch of conferences in 2025 about some of the exciting new things coming in Python 3.14, including template strings. o ⚓ The New Stack ☛ Why_AI_Workloads_Are_Fueling_a_Move_Back_to Postgres⠀⇛ I want to explain why this shift is happening (at least in my humble opinion). I want to describe why Postgres is silently becoming the anchor of modern AI development. I also want to explain why many teams should consider leaving fully managed databases behind. This is not about nostalgia and self-hosting in the old sense. It is about a new model that keeps the benefits of managed services while giving teams the performance, cost control and data locality they need for the next decade.

Among them are some impactful accessibility features, plus lots more holiday goodies! Also, allow us to thank everyone who donated to KDE’s 2025 end-of- year fundraiser. Thanks to all of you, we raised an additional €385,000 for KDE e.V. — a staggering, awe-inspiring sum of money! KDE e.V. will put it to good use keeping KDE financially and technically sustainable for years to come. Finally, please welcome to TWiP John Veness, who has helped out with this week's post! Contributions here are warmly appreciated. Read_on Linuxiac: * ⚓ KDE_Plasma_6.6_Improves_Accessibility,_Wayland_Usability,_and_UI Polish⠀⇛ KDE developers continue preparing Plasma 6.6, and although there are still over a month to go before the final stable release (scheduled for February 17, 2026), the team posts weekly updates on the KDE Blogs about what changes to expect from this version. After covering some of them in December, we now have a new batch to look at. A notable new feature in Plasma 6.6 is the implementation of Slow Keys for Wayland sessions. It allows users to configure how long a key must be held before it registers, helping people with motor impairments avoid accidental key presses. Neowin: * ⚓ Good_news_for_gamers:_KDE_Plasma_will_no_longer_sleep_while_your_game controller_is_in_use_-_Neowin⠀⇛ The KDE Team has published the first "This Week in Plasma" update for the new year, highlighting new accessibility features for Plasma 6.6, and small fixes and improvements for 6.5.5. In Plasma 6.6.0, set to release next month, there is now an implementation of the "Slow Keys" accessibility feature for the Wayland session. Slow keys was designed for people who have trouble with fine motor control. It works by making you press and hold a key for a short, specified time before the system accepts the input, which helps prevent accidental key presses. Besides bringing Slow Keys to Wayland, Plasma 6.6 will also improve its Zoom accessibility effect with a new "Centered (Strict)" mode that keeps the mouse pointer locked in the exact center of your screen. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Root ☛ How_To_Install_Jitsi_Meet_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Video conferencing has become an essential tool for remote work, online education, and virtual meetings. While commercial platforms dominate the market, many organizations and individuals seek privacy-focused, self-hosted alternatives that provide complete control over their data. * ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_PHP_8.4_on_Ubuntu⠀⇛ * ⚓ Bring_CachyOS_Cosmic_DE_along_with_kernel_6.18.2_to_Arch_GNU/Linux_Bare Metal_Instance⠀⇛ Following below is procedure which allows to install on Arch GNU/Linux CachyOS v3 repositories along with pacman fork belongs to CachyOS. * ⚓ Emmanuel_Kasper:_Storing_GPG_private_keys_on_a_dedicated_device⠀⇛ § The limits of cryptography Since this blog post is about security and cryptography, it makes sense to start with this XKCD reminder about the value of encryption: . There is a similar, complementary discussion in this article: crypto can help but cannot safeguard against all actors. * ⚓ LinuxTechi ☛ How_to_Install_CRI-O_on_RHEL_10⠀⇛ In this blog post, we will learn how to install CRI-O on RHEL 10 step by step [....] * ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Munin_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Monitoring server performance and resource usage is crucial for maintaining optimal system health and preventing downtime. Munin stands out as a powerful, open-source network monitoring tool that provides comprehensive insights into your server infrastructure through intuitive graphs and real-time data collection. * ⚓ Max Leiter ☛ Introducing_HFSViewer⠀⇛ Last year my roommate and I found an old original iMac G3 outside our apartment building. It has some interesting early 2000s/late 90s style websites and files on it that I want to preserve (and hope to share here soon!). * ⚓ Kirill A Korinsky ☛ Synology_DSM_Workarounds⠀⇛ This short article documents two workarounds for Synology DSM: mobile application authentication failures via custom domains, and rclone checksum verified backups over SFTP. * ⚓ Jan Piet Mens ☛ Ansible_lookup_plugin_for_generating_TSIG_keys⠀⇛ I need to generate TSIG key files for a DNS server using Ansible, and while I could use something like the community.general.random_string lookup, due to Ansible’s lazy evaluation of lookups, using that in a vars would cause the lookup to be re-evaluated upon use meaning I cannot actually use it more than once in a playbook. * ⚓ [Old] Fiatjaf ☛ How_IPFS_is_broken⠀⇛ This is also a big problem. IPFS is built by Ethereum enthusiasts. I can't read the mind of people behind IPFS, but I would imagine they have a poor understanding of incentives like the Ethereum people, and they tend towards scammer-like behavior like getting a ton of funds for investors in exchange for promises they don't know they can fulfill (like Filecoin and IPFS itself) based on half-truths, changing stuff in the middle of the road because some top-managers decided they wanted to change (move fast and break things) and squatting fancy names like "distributed web". The way they market IPFS (which is not the main thing IPFS was initially designed to do) as a "peer-to-peer cloud" is very seductive for Ethereum developers just like Ethereum itself is: as a place somewhere that will run your code for you so you don't have to host a server or have any responsibility, and then Infura will serve the content to everybody. In the same vein, Infura is also hosting and serving IPFS content for Ethereum developers these days for free. Ironically, just like the Ethereum hoax peer-to-peer money, IPFS peer-to-peer network may begin to work better for end users as things get more and more centralized. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2209 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/04/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/04/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 04, 2026 * § Server⠀➾ o ⚓ Victor Kropp ☛ Homelab⠀⇛ As mentioned above, I run Paperless on it, and I will write a separate blog post about it later. I also want to expand the number of self-hosted services this year with: [...] * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ KDE_onboarding_is_good_now⠀⇛ I made substantial changes in the KDE_Developer Platform_documentation over the years. I am effectively its docs maintainer and have the largest number of commits in the repository. This is due in large part because I started contributing to it in 2021, applied as a KDE documentation contractor in late 2023, and started officially working with KDE development onboarding docs in 2024. I’m one of multiple furries contributing to KDE. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ A_small_suggestion_in_modern_Linux:_take screenshots_(before_upgrades)⠀⇛ Linux distributions and the software they package have a long history of deciding to change things for your own good. They will tinker with font choices, font sizes, default DPI determinations, the size of UI elements, and so on, not quite at the drop of a hat but definitely when you do something like upgrade your distribution and bring in a bunch of significant package version changes (and new programs to replace old programs). o ⚓ Carl Svensson ☛ Amiga_Desktops_Worth_Seeing⠀⇛ All of the screenshots depict Workbench version 2.0 and up, most of them are 3.0 or 3.1. The screenshots are available in "original" and "double size" resolutions, to cater to the many various resolutions in use today. The Amiga features graphics modes with double height pixels. To retain their aspect ratio, screenshots intended for such graphics modes have been doubled in height in both the "original" and "double size" versions. Now, without further ado, let's dive into a sampling of Workbench screenshots that have fascinated and delighted me since way back in the 1990s! o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ Dominique Leuenberger ☛ Tumbleweed_–_Review_of_the_week 2026/1⠀⇛ Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, Happy New Year to you all! While people all around the world are celebrating the new year, Tumbleweed has been tirelessly rolling ahead and has published six snapshots (20251227 – 20251231, 20260101). Naturally, there are no groundbreaking changes, as many developers and maintainers are out celebrating, and any greater coordinated effort is taking a bit more time. Nevertheless, the six snapshots brought you these changes: [...] ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2320 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/04/Tux_Machines_Has_Changed_This_Year_It_ll_Turn_22.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/04/Tux_Machines_Has_Changed_This_Year_It_ll_Turn_22.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Tux Machines Has Changed, This Year It'll Turn 22⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 04, 2026, updated Jan 04, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Duck⦈_ So far this year we've posted many original_articles, on average more than 10 per day.

You see, I thought that I was not actively refusing adverts. I was just disabling a specific technology on my web browser; not my fault if most ads are enabled via JS after all. True, ads couldn’t reach my house, but not because I actively refused their delivery; simply because the trucks used for their delivery weren’t allowed to drive on my pedestrian-only street. * ⚓ Jamie Zawinski ☛ My_50_most_popular_blog_posts_in_2025⠀⇛ Here are my most popular blog posts from 2025, with the caveat that this might all be bullshit from bots. For example, this year the number one hit was a blog post from 2022, that never had a large number of hits in any previous year, and also wasn't particularly interesting or controversial. An absolutely "mid" post, as the kids say. It had more than twice as many hits as the number two post. 99.5% of those hits came from the user agent: [...] * ⚓ James G ☛ Personal_and_community_web_search_engines⠀⇛ Ever since I made the first version of IndieWeb Search, a search engine that let you search personal websites, I have been thinking about the idea of “community search engines.” * ⚓ Bastian Gruber ☛ How_I_browse_the_web_in_2026⠀⇛ This blog post should serve as a time capsule for my future self. How was it like serving the Internet in 2026? What is my set up, my most visitied bookmarks, websites I frequently go to? Let's find out. * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ Rodrigo Ghedin ☛ New_year,_new_theme⠀⇛ I was working on a revision of the Manual WordPress theme to coincide with our upcoming migration from WordPress to ClassicPress. I couldn't resist and implemented it here on the blog while still on WordPress. (ClassicPress is scheduled to come into play in March.) o ⚓ Jeff Geerling ☛ JeffGeerling.com_has_been_Migrated_to_Hugo⠀⇛ Since 2009, this website has run on Drupal. Starting with Drupal 6, and progressing through major site upgrades and migrations to 7, 8, 9, and 10, I used the site as a way to dogfood the same CMS (Content Management System) I used in my day job for over a decade. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2467 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 27 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
