Still, Plasma looks modern and distinct, so the experience doesn't feel like a tired throwback or a cheap ripoff. KDE is aware of the opportunity it has here, having embraced and extended the "End of 10" campaign in 2025. I'm looking forward to what kind of direct appeals to possible Windows migrants in 2026.

recently-created hardened/ 15-stable/main branch. As discussed in a previous mailing list thread[1], the 14-STABLE build infrastructure has now been migrated to 15-STABLE. We have archived the last 14-STABLE package build, which last completed on 24 Dec 2025. We self-host nearly the entirety of our infrastructure out of my home. We have only one leased server, from the fine folks at NetActuate (previously RootBSD). This leased server hosts our main website, the hbsd-update build artifacts, and the package repos. Our package repos, naturally, grow over time. Back when we started this, each package repo was at most 75GB in size. Now we're encroaching 135GB. * ⚓ CCC ☛ Escaping_Containment:_A_Security_Analysis_of_FreeBSD_Jails⠀⇛ FreeBSD’s jail feature is one of the oldest and most mature OS- level isolation mechanisms in use today, powering hosting environments, container frameworks, and security sandboxes. But as with any large and evolving kernel feature, complexity breeds opportunity. This research asks a simple but critical question: If an attacker compromises root inside a FreeBSD jail, what does it take to break out? * ⚓ [Old] Netdata Inc ☛ FreeBSD_vs_Linux_-_Which_Is_Better⠀⇛ When choosing an operating system for servers, embedded systems, or even desktops, developers and system administrators often encounter two powerful, free, and open-source Unix-like options: FreeBSD and Linux. Both share a common heritage tracing back to the original UNIX, but they have evolved along different paths, resulting in distinct philosophies, architectures, and strengths. The FreeBSD vs Linux debate isn’t about one being definitively “better” but rather understanding which is better suited for your specific needs. For those new to system administration or exploring alternatives, understanding how FreeBSD compares to Linux is crucial. This article delves into the core differences between these two operating systems, covering aspects like their structure, licensing, performance, security, and typical use cases. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⡀⠀⢠⣄⡀⠀⣠⣄⣠⣤⣤⣀⡀⠠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⠄⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⢿⣷⡀⢸⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⢻⣿⠀⣨⡟⠛⢻⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⢿⡆⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⣺⣿⣷⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣻⣾⡧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⡿⠿⢿⣷⣼⣿⠸⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣾⠿⢸⣿⣿⡾⠾⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣄⣤⣰⣦⣤⣄⣴⣄⣦⣤⡀⣥⣤⣤⣄⣤⣦⡄⣴⣦⣤⣄⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢠⣦⣶⠤⠭⠀⠀⠀⠉⠈⠁⠀⠀⢈⠁⠈⠉⠁⠀⡀⠈⠉⠉⠁⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠟⠻⠛⠙⠞⠛⠛⠟⠟⠻⠃⠿⠻⢿⣿⣷⣟⠇⠛⠛⠻⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣠⣴⣼⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣾⣟⣛⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣄⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣺⣷⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣷⣶⡆⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣇⣶⣿⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠿⣷⣦⣄ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣽⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⡼⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣄⡀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣤⣌⣝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⠹⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠻⢿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣬⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠻ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠿⠛⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣠⣽⡿⠛⢩⣏⣉⣘⣘⣿⣿⣿⠋⠉⠉⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠁⠀⠀⡀⠄⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⠾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣟⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣷⣿⢿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠫⡻⣿⡟⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣴⣤⣤⣤⣴⣿⣭⣤⣤⣤⣶⣾⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⡿⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠊⡻⢿⣷⣿⣿⡷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⢉⠇⡆⣰⣩⣽⢹⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠉⢙ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⢟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⢿⠟⠁⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠐⠈⠛⠛⠓⠲⣴⣴⣴⣶⣴⣴⣼⣼⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣟⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠟⣙⣁⣠⣾⣿ ⣿⡯⣉⠹⢀⢇⣿⣿⣽⠯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⠿⡝⡀⡉⠈⠀⠀⠀⠠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠈⢨⣻⣽⣿⣿⣿⢟⠛⠋⠳⡫⡛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠁ ⣿⣿⡅⣔⠠⠀⡋⡁⠣⣟⠈⢻⠹⡟⢻⠿⣻⠏⠯⠳⠀⠐⠀⠠⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⣤⠼⠾⠿⠋⠉⠉⠉⠀⠑⢠⢀⠝⣟⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠿⠶⠶⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 502 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/07/Databases_YottaDB_and_Postgres_Self_managing.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/07/Databases_YottaDB_and_Postgres_Self_managing.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Databases: YottaDB and Postgres Self- managing⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 07, 2026 * ⚓ YottaDB ☛ 100,000_Foot_View_of_Core-Banking_Systems⠀⇛ Core-banking systems (CBS) are the legal systems of record for account balances and transactions.

In my view, it’s not about the burden on you to get something like Postgres running, keep it reasonably maintained, automate deployment and maintenance, get minimum-viable backups working, etc. It’s not about you, the individual.

Canonical, Ubuntu Linux's parent company, is the most visible Linux and open-source business in Vegas. While neither Canonical nor anyone else is showing off a new Linux desktop, the company, in partnership with Nvidia, is demonstrating Ubuntu Linux running on the NVIDIA DGX Spark. This is a desktop supercomputer featuring an Nvidia GB10 Grace Blackwell superchip with 128 GB of RAM and 4 TB of storage for $3,999. Now, this is my kind of desktop PC. The Canonical team will be demoing this computer at Booth #10562 in the North Hall. The company will also demonstrate Ubuntu Core as a long‑term support layer for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. These devices range from industrial products, such as Bosch Rexroth's ctrlX AUTOMATION platform, medical diagnostic devices, like Grundium's Ocus scanners, and the Elementary live AI vision system for performing visual inspections. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ NVIDIA_Jetson_T4000_Edge_Hey_Hi_(AI)_embedded_system offers_5GbE_networking,_four_PoE_camera_ports,_DIO,_CAN_Bus,_and_more⠀⇛ AAEON BOXER-8742AI is a fanless Edge Hey Hi (AI) embedded system powered by an NVIDIA Jetson T4000 that was unveiled along with the Jetson Thor T5000 module last August, but officially launched at CES 2026.

These tours showcased how ROS and Open-RMF are not just concepts but living deployments across manufacturing, healthcare, and smart infrastructure. If the Summit sessions were about vision and strategy, the tours were about seeing robotics in motion—from factory floors to hospitals, airports, and digital districts. * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ Robin Rendle ☛ v19⠀⇛ Next steps? Tweak the 11ty image plugin for sure. There’s some problems I’ve introduced with it, even though the plugin is genuinely magic and ultimately will improve everyone’s experience of clicking around.

And and and…yes yes yes... * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ SusamPal ☛ A4_Paper_Stories⠀⇛ The dimensions of A4 paper are the solution to a simple, elegant problem. Imagine designing a sheet of paper such that, when you cut it in half parallel to its shorter side, both halves have exactly the same aspect ratio as the original. In other words, if the shorter side has length \( x \) and the longer side has length \( y , \) then \[ \frac{y}{x} = \frac{x}{y / 2} \] which gives us \ [ \frac{y}{x} = \sqrt{2}. \] Test it out. Suppose we have \( y/x = \sqrt{2}. \) We cut the paper in half parallel to the shorter side to get two halves, each with shorter side \( x' = y / 2 = x \sqrt{2} / 2 = x / \sqrt{2} \) and longer side \( y' = x. \) Then indeed \[ \frac{y'}{x'} = \frac{x}{x / \sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{2}. \] In fact, we can keep cutting the halves like this and we'll keep getting even smaller sheets with the aspect ratio \( \sqrt{2} \) intact. To summarise, when a sheet of paper has the aspect ratio \( \sqrt{2}, \) bisecting it parallel to the shorter side leaves us with two halves that preserve the aspect ratio. A4 paper has this property. o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Gmail_preparing_to_drop_POP3_mail_fetching⠀⇛ The company hasn't exactly gone out of its way to call attention to this – like actually telling anybody anything.

As of writing the affected repository remains unavailable. At the core of this issue is the Rockchip MPP framework, which provides hardware-accelerated video operations on Rockchip SoCs. Much of the code for this was lifted verbatim from FFmpeg, with the allegation being that this occurred with the removal of the original copyright notices and authors. The Rockchip MPP framework was further re-licensed from LGPL 2.1 to the Apache license. Most egregious of all is perhaps that the FFmpeg team privately contacted Rockchip about this nearly two years ago, with clearly no action taken since. Thus FFmpeg demands that Rockchip either undoes these actions that violate the LGPL, or remove all infringing files. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Messing_With_JPEGs_In_A_Text_Editor_Is_Fun_And Glitchy⠀⇛ If you’re looking to edit an image, you might open it in Photoshop, GIMP, or even Paint Shop Pro if you’re stuck in 2005.

It wasn’t until the era of digital video and real-time video compression that commercial solutions became feasible, with the 1985 Image Data Corporation Photophone CP220 being an early example. The CP220 is also exceedingly rare due to costing around $25,000 USD when adjusted to inflation. This makes the teardown and repair on the [SpaceTime Junction] channel a rather unique experience.

There were a few issues I spotted like languages and such not adding up, but now they do so it appears there's a few corrections that were made to it this month. * ⚓ NVIDIA_announce_DLSS_4.5_with_Dynamic_Multi_Frame_Generation,_plus_DLSS Updater_gets_Linux_support_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Along with announcing a Native Linux app for GeForce NOW, NVIDIA also revealed the new DLSS 4.5 with Dynamic Multi Frame Generation. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1243 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/07/GNU_Linux_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/07/GNU_Linux_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 07, 2026 * § Games⠀➾ o ⚓ Gamer Network Limited ☛ Hytale_will_launch_with_native_Linux support,_though_the_Steam_Deck_is_"not_officially_recommended"⠀⇛ Cubey sandbox crafter Hytale launches into early access next Tuesday, January 13th, after a dicey few months in which it was cancelled, bought out by the original developers, and revived like a majestic square-beaked phoenix. It’ll also have a native Linux version, allowing anyone fed up with Microsoft’s continued bullshit to play it on a system running something that isn’t an increasingly bloated or prematurely abandoned Windows. There are caveats, mind. In a Xitter post announcing the Linux version, Hypixel co-founder and tech director Kevin Carstens – well spotted by Gaming on Linux – stresses that it’ll be an "experimental" endeavour, potentially susceptible to bugs specific to different distributions (sub-versions) of the open-source OS. And the Steam Deck, which runs the Linux-based SteamOS, is in a trickier position still. Carstens explains that limited testing on a docked Deck, with the handheld aided by a mouse and keyboard, suggests it can run local singleplayer fine, though it’s "not officially recommended" as a Hytale- playing device as the game currently lacks controller support. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Fedora Project ☛ Fedora_Community_Blog:_DEADLINE_2026-01- 07:_Fedora_GNU/Linux_43_FESCo_Elections⠀⇛ Voting is currently open for the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo).

The “classic” Pi model B+ form factor has been copied widely by other manufacturers as has their current Compute Module. If you buy the real Raspberry Pi you know you’ll get a solid board with exceptionally good software support. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1383 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/07/GNU_Linux_Measured_as_Having_Risen_to_5_in_Burundi.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/07/GNU_Linux_Measured_as_Having_Risen_to_5_in_Burundi.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux Measured as Having Risen to 5% in Burundi⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 07, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Flag_of_Burundi⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Desktop_Operating_System_Market_Share_Burundi⦈_ The nation called Burundi isn't known to many people, but it is about a third the_size_of_Portugal and GNU/Linux is seen_rising_there while Windows declines steadily.

Neil Brown, board member at F-Droid, said he was blocked from accessing HSBC's UK mobile banking after a security screen flagged Bitwarden as a risk. Brown had installed the password manager via F-Droid rather than Google Play. Bitwarden, an open source password manager, is available through official channels including Google Play and Galaxy stores, as well as via F-Droid sideloading. HSBC didn't provide The Register with a clear answer on why it won't allow a sideloaded Bitwarden installation to coexist with its app on the same device. Representatives from both F-Droid and Bitwarden suspect the issue stems from HSBC's side. Gary Orenstein, chief customer officer at Bitwarden, told us: "It seems that HSBC has chosen a level of security and permissions for their mobile app that allows the HSBC app to see if there are other apps on the phone not installed from the Google Play store, and if one is found, to disallow the install of the HSBC app." Read_on ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠈⣿⣿⠟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠘⠉⠉⠻⣿⠇⠀⠐⡟⠁⠀⠈⠉⠻⠛⣿⣿⡟⠻⣿⣿⠛⢻⠟⠛⠉⠛⢿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠙⣿⠟⠋⠙⠃⠀⢸⣿⠟⠋⠉⠛⢿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢠⣤⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⣧⠀⠀⢠⣤⣴⠀⠸⡿⠀⠀⢻⡏⠀⣼⣶⡶⠿⠆⠘⣿⠀⢠⣾⣿⡇⢠⣾⣿⡆⠀⢺⠇⠀⠾⠿⠆⠈⣿⠀⢠⣾⣷⡄⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠟⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⠃⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⠀⠃⣰⣇⠈⠁⢰⡟⠁⣠⣤⡄⠀⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⡀⢸⣿⣿⡇⠀⣸⠀⠠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⠀⠀⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡀⠀⣿⣿⡀⠀⣾⣇⠀⠛⠋⠁⠀⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣧⡀⠙⠛⠁⠀⣿⣧⡀⠙⠛⠛⢹⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣀⣀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1557 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/07/Immutable_Distro_Nitrux_5_1_Released_with_Linux_Kernel_6_18_LTS.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/07/Immutable_Distro_Nitrux_5_1_Released_with_Linux_Kernel_6_18_LTS.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Immutable Distro Nitrux 5.1 Released with Linux Kernel 6.18 LTS, New Tools⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Jan 07, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Nitrux_5.1⦈_ Powered by the latest and greatest Linux 6.18 LTS kernel series with CachyOS patches, Nitrux 5.1 features the Hyprland 0.52.2 desktop with new key bindings, support for window blur, revamped Waybar with a modern floating “island” design, and an updated lock screen with a battery indicator and media player information.

IPFire 2.29 Core Update 199 also introduces native support for the Link-Local Discovery Protocol (LLDP) and Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDPv2) in the Web UI (Services > LLDP), which allows the firewall to detect any networking devices that it is directly connected to and identify the switch ports the firewall is connected to.

One of the most significant topics is versioning. Following the release of Jellyfin 10.11, the team has begun internal discussions about revising its versioning scheme in a future major release. Among the ideas being explored is dropping the “10” series entirely, which would result in the next major release being labeled 12.0.

Kraft provides effective invoicing and document management for small businesses on Linux. Check the feature list. This new version is a big step ahead for the project. It does not only deliver the outstanding ports to Qt6 and KDE Frameworks 6 and tons of modernizations and cleanups, but for the first time, it also does some significant changes in the underlying architecture and drops outdated technology. Kraft now stores documents not longer in a relational database, but as XML documents in the filesystem. While separate files are more natural for documents anyway, this is paving the way to let Kraft integrate with private cloud infrastructures like OpenCloud or Nextcloud via sync. That is not only for backup- and web-app- purposes, but also for synced data that enables to run Kraft as distributed system. An example is if office staff works from different home offices. Expect this and related usecases to be supported in the near future of Kraft.

Compare that to the 3.20 percent Linux usage reached in November 2025. Interestingly, macOS also saw a small boost of its own, increasing by 0.16 points to reach 2.18 percent of the user share. Meanwhile, Windows took a hit by 0.56 percentage points, now floating at the still-monolithic 94.23 percent of the Steam user share. Within that mix, Windows 10 unsurprisingly saw the biggest drop at 1.55 percent fewer users. Windows 10 reached end of life in October 2025, and Microsoft has been pressuring folks using it to upgrade to Windows 11 ever since. Those people are evidently not all taking up Microsoft on its offer, as Windows 11 adoption didn't increase enough to stop Linux and Mac from growing.

The alpha release is still in testing and we hope to release it to users soon. As the prior post indicated, there have been a number of challenges for this release, but most are being resolved. We look forward not only to the alpha release, but to an update after the next developers’ meeting. The latest stable kernel, 6.18.x, runs beautifully, an observation from personal experience, both in Cauldron and backported to the stable Mageia 9 machine on which I am writing this. As has been discussed in prior posts, Mageia also has new servers that will help with development.

It’s not the most modern choice in 2026, especially since CSP predates C++ coroutines. But it’s good enough for the static-ish pages I serve, and more importantly, it lets me avoid mandatory JavaScript without going with string hacking. An Tao originally built it back when the Drogon project began- likely for something resembling a classic bulletin board system. Consider this post being me writing a guide on what CSP does in proactice and well as me double checking my understanding. At its core, CSP is just a template engine. While it’s mostly used to generate HTML, there’s no technical barrier preventing it from outputting anything: CSV, Markdown, Gemtext. In fact, my home and archive pages served over Gemini are rendered using CSP along other HTML contents. The infra is there and I could kust use it. * ⚓ Greg Morris ☛ Don't_Fall_In_Love_With_The_Product⠀⇛ I think about this constantly in my day job. As a designer and product lead, it's easy to fall into the trap of building features because they're technically interesting or because they showcase what's possible. The hard part is stepping back and asking whether any of it actually solves a real problem for real people. You can build the most elegant solution in the world, but if nobody needs it, you've just wasted everyone's time. * ⚓ Victor Skvortsov ☛ I_switched_from_VSCode_to_Zed⠀⇛ For many years VSCode has been my day-to-day IDE for everything: Python, Go, C, occasional frontend development, and what not.

The "War on Science" was recently taken up a notch, thanks to dictators who hope that by defunding it they can dumb down the population, filling the gap with bigotry and ignorance which fuel demagogues.

Hackaday ☛ Linux_Fu:_Yet_Another_Shell_Script_Trick⠀⇛ I’m going to go ahead and admit it: I really have too many tray icons. You know the ones. They sit on your taskbar, perhaps doing something in the background or, at least, giving you fingertip access to some service. You’d think that creating a custom tray icon would be hard, but on Linux, it can be surprisingly simple. Part of the reason is that the Freedesktop people created standards, so you don’t typically have to worry about how it works on KDE vs. GNOME or any of the other desktop environments. That’s a big win. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Prometheus,_Let's_Encrypt,_and_making_sure_all our_TLS_certificates_are_monitored⠀⇛ With the right tools (also), I don't need to make this a pre- written shell script that runs on each machine; instead, I can do this centrally by hand every so often. On the one hand this isn't as good as automating it, but on the other hand every bit of locally built automation is another bit of automation we have to maintain ourselves. We mostly haven't had a problem with tracking TLS certificates, and we have other things to notice failures. * ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ How_to_Configure_a_Static_IP_Address_on_Ubuntu_26.04 Desktop⠀⇛ * ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ How_to_Configure_Static_IP_with_Netplan_on_Ubuntu_26.04 Server⠀⇛ * ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ How_to_Change_Hostname_on_Ubuntu_26.04⠀⇛ * ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Warp_Terminal_on_AlmaLinux_10⠀⇛ Modern terminal applications have revolutionized how developers and system administrators interact with GNU/Linux systems. Warp Terminal stands out as a cutting-edge solution that combines artificial intelligence capabilities with traditional command- line functionality, offering an enhanced user experience for AlmaLinux 10 users. * ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_KubeSphere_on_Linux_Mint_22⠀⇛ Container orchestration has become essential for modern application deployment and management. KubeSphere simplifies the complexity of Kubernetes by providing an intuitive, enterprise-grade platform that makes container management accessible to developers and system administrators alike. This comprehensive guide walks you through installing KubeSphere on Linux Mint 22, transforming your system into a powerful container orchestration platform. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3076 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/07/today_s_howtos.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/07/today_s_howtos.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 07, 2026 * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 6_practical_uses_for_the_lspci_command_on_Linux⠀⇛ Are you experiencing hardware issues on your Linux device?

One moment everything runs smoothly, and the next, updates fail, applications slow down, or the system refuses to cooperate. This problem is common, especially on systems that run for long periods without maintenance. Fortunately, Linux gives you some useful tools and methods to identify the issue and fix it step by step without breaking your system. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3118 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/07/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/07/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 07, 2026 * § Server⠀➾ o ⚓ Cyble Inc ☛ Proxy_Server_Explained:_Types,_Uses,_Forward_Vs Reverse⠀⇛ A Proxy is essentially a representative (acting) on behalf of another entity (the client). In networking, a proxy server acts as a middle layer between a client and the resource it wishes to access. The client requests are routed through the proxy (rather than) directly communicating with a website or application. Thus, the client can enjoy the benefit of anonymity as well as the enforcement of security, monitoring of traffic, and performance optimization provided by the proxy server. * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux_Matters:_Lets_get_Trippy⠀⇛ Mark revisits the classic Timesplitters game.

While the beloved handheld has sold less than most major console handhelds, it’s become a valuable system for many to take their PC games on the go. Additionally, the system has become a haven for the Linux operating system with Valve’s powerful Proton tool allowing many gamers to ditch Windows for the vast majority of games. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Ingo Jürgensmann ☛ Ingo_Juergensmann:_Outages_on Nerdculture.de_due_to_Ceph_–_Part_2⠀⇛ Last weekend I had “fun” with Ceph again on a Saturday evening. But let’s start at the beginning…. Before the weekend I announced a downtime/ maintenance windows to upgrade PostgreSQL from v15 to v17 – because of the Debian upgrade from Bookworm to Trixie. After some tests with a cloned VM I decided use the quick path of pg_ugradecluster 15 main -v 17 -m upgrade –clone. As this would be my first time to upgrade PostgreSQL that way, I made several backups. In the end everything went smooth and the database is now on v17. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3233 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/07/TUXEDO_InfinityBook_Max_16_Gen10_Linux_Laptop_Unveiled_with_New.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/07/TUXEDO_InfinityBook_Max_16_Gen10_Linux_Laptop_Unveiled_with_New.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ TUXEDO InfinityBook Max 16 Gen10 Linux Laptop Unveiled with New OLED Display⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Jan 07, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇TUXEDO_InfinityBook_Max_16_Gen10⦈_ The highlight of the TUXEDO InfinityBook Max 16 Gen10 laptop is the new OLED display, which takes image quality to the next level with brilliant, high- contrast color reproduction, 2560×1600 pixels resolution, 500 nits of brightness, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, and 300Hz for high FPS gaming.

Released on April 17, 2025, it was an interim release intended to provide early access to newer components and platform changes ahead of the next long-term support cycle. As with all non-LTS Ubuntu releases, support is limited to nine months, after which security updates and maintenance cease. Once the end-of-life date is reached, Ubuntu Security Notices will no longer cover Ubuntu 25.04, and no further security patches or updated packages will be provided. Systems that remain on the release beyond that point will be exposed to unpatched vulnerabilities and unresolved issues.

In Ubuntu 26.04, Arm is a first-class citizen with x86 performance parity. Canonical is integrating critical upstream features including Nested Virtualization and MPAM (Memory System Resource Partitioning and Monitoring). These tools enable providers to partition memory bandwidth and cache at the hardware level, ensuring predictable performance for multi-tenant AI workloads. This infrastructure will be further reinforced with native Arm support in OpenStack Sunbeam and Apache Spark, allowing data engineers to run end-to-end pipelines on Arm-native silicon. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢩⢩⠉⡏⡉⠉⠁⣾⣿⣿⣿⣉⣍⣉⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣩⣏⣩⣍⣉⣉⣉⣽⣿⣇⣂⣯⣙⣿⣋⣉⣿⣿⣏⣹⣉⣩⣍⣍⣯⣍⣻⣿⣿⣉⣯⣋⣉⣉⣯⣿⣿⣏⣸⣭⣉⣉⣉ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⡿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⡿⠿⡿⠿⠻⡿⢿⢻⠋⡿⠿⡿⠿⣿⢛⣙⡏⠟⠟⠿⢻⢿⢿⠻⢿⡟⣛⢻⠿⢿⠿⡟⢿⠻⡿⠿⡿⠿⣿⠿⢿⠿⢿⡟⣿⢻⠻⠿⣿⡿⠿⡟⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣇⣇⣇⣸⣌⣅⣼⣸⣄⣇⣇⡮⢅⣿⣬⣡⣆⣇⣁⣶⣸⣌⣸⣈⣼⣇⣉⣴⣄⣬⣠⣧⣜⣌⣮⣡⣏⣡⣿⣌⣼⣸⣸⣧⣉⣼⣌⣤⣩⣇⣇⣧⣹⣩⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⡟⡿⢿⢿⢿⢿⢿⡟⣽⣛⢻⠿⡿⠿⡿⢿⢿⢿⠿⡿⠿⣿⢻⣿⢻⡟⡟⠿⠿⢿⡟⡟⢯⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣛⣇⣷⣆⣜⣸⣠⣻⣇⣻⣒⣤⣐⣦⣃⣅⣀⣘⣸⣀⣇⣂⣿⣸⣿⣘⣃⣇⣜⣔⣸⣇⣇⣻⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣤⣴⣦⣤⣾⣵⣤⣤⣤⣤⣧⣼⣶⣴⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣬⣧⣬⣤⣧⣧⣤⣷⣦⣼⣭⣤⣥⣼⣤⣵⣽⣷⣤⣦⣧⣴⣼⣼⣶⣴⣦⣤⣤⣦⣧⣤⣮⣼⣶⣼⣷⣴⣥⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3438 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/07/Web_Browsers_Clients_Curl_Search_and_RSS.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/07/Web_Browsers_Clients_Curl_Search_and_RSS.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Web Browsers/Clients: Curl, Search, and RSS⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 07, 2026 * ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ 6,000_curl_stickers⠀⇛ I am heading to FOSDEM again at the end of January.

However, most are familiar with virtual machines (VMs), which are its primary defense mechanism. Qubes asks users to divide their lives into security domains; each domain is for specific tasks: work, banking, and general web browsing, for example. These boundaries have users perform riskier activities separate from more important ones, which limits the damage done when an attack occurs. One of the unique features of Qubes is the disposable VM. This is a one-time-use domain that spins up a clean Linux system and disposes of it once it stops—wiping all changes to it, including any potential compromise. When using a standard SSD, these domains start up in 4–5 seconds, so they're fast. The typical use case is for riskier tasks, such as opening an untrusted PDF. It sounds clunky, but that's the value that Qubes brings: a collection of tools that makes such burdensome jobs much easier to endure.

I’ve used GNOME and daily-drive KDE Plasma, but Cinnamon’s implementation is hands down the best I’ve seen. The only problem is that it’s disabled by default and awkwardly tucked away in the System Settings, hidden in plain sight—no wonder no one talks, or even knows, about it. To enable it, head to System Settings and search for “Gestures” using the search bar. Alternatively, if you’re good at “Where’s Waldo?,” you can find it under the Preferences tab if you look really carefully. Click it to open a clean, graphical interface that shows all possible multitouch gestures and lets you map them to almost any action you want.
