It saves time by removing nonsense you didn’t even realize you were negotiating with every day. Menus you keep opening, and windows you keep hunting. Repetitive tasks you keep redoing because “that’s just how it’s done.” These are not obscure power-user tricks. They’re everyday Linux features that most people technically know about and chronically underuse. Once you wire them into your workflow, your system stops feeling like a computer and starts behaving like an extension of your brain. The last one completely rewired how I work.

If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a great piece of software that dynamically adjusts the CPU governor and frequency settings to balance power consumption, performance, and thermal management based on the system’s current workload and power state. The most notable change in the new release is the ability to override the CPU turbo setting directly from both the command-line and graphical interfaces. This gives users explicit control over turbo boost behavior, rather than relying entirely on automatic heuristics.

The number of git commits on github.com/mysql/mysql-server has been significantly declining in 2025.

Early on, Postgres does it all. But as you hit massive scale, your analytics queries start killing your login APIs. This post breaks down the physics of Row-oriented (Couchbase) vs Column- oriented (ClickHouse) databases, and how to bridge them using Change Data Capture (CDC) for a robust, lag-free architecture. * ⚓ DEV Community ☛ I_Replaced_Redis_with_PostgreSQL_(And_It's_Faster)_- DEV_Community⠀⇛ I had a typical web app stack: • PostgreSQL for persistent data • Redis for caching, pub/sub, and background jobs Two databases. Two things to manage. Two points of failure. Then I realized: PostgreSQL can do everything Redis does. I ripped out Redis entirely.

For Linux users, Firefox 147 updates the window and rendering surface sizes for GNOME‘s Mutter window and composite manager to match the actual pixel grid, which translates to sharper rendering of content on fractionally scaled displays, regardless of the actual window size.

It works according to the following algorithm: Pick a random point on the disk in use Find what is located at that point Add the path to the results Repeat the above steps indefinitely Though it works by taking random samples, it is “eventually” accurate. It differs from classic analyzers through the following properties: btdu starts showing results instantly. Though wildly inaccurate at first, they become progressively more accurate the longer btdu is allowed to run. btdu analyzes entire filesystems only. There is no way to analyze only a particular subdirectory or subvolume. btdu counts extents used by multiple files only once. (The shortest path is used when placing the sample in the tree for visualization.) By nature of its algorithm, btdu works correctly with compression and other btrfs filesystem features. Because it queries raw filesystem metadata, btdu requires root privileges to run.

The call for proposals has gone out for anybody who would like to attend this invitation-only meeting. "We are asking that you please let us know you want to be invited by February 20, 2026". * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ Nicolas Magand ☛ The_frustration_of_a_perfect_setup⠀⇛ I recently wrote about my HTML and CSS “explorations” with this blog. Satisfied with the results, I think this job is done. The same goes for how Eleventy works on my machine: everything has been optimised, refined, future- proofed (especially Node.js): nothing to see here! Even the hosting is something I’m very happy with. My only gripe with xmit is that there is no possibility for me to pay for it. * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ FOSDEM ☛ FOSDEM_2026_-_Travel_and_transportation_advisories⠀⇛ Attendees should be aware of potential transportation disruptions in the days leading up to FOSDEM. * § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ o ⚓ Aethrvmn ☛ licensing_philosophy⠀⇛ It is on this that libre software takes a stand, where the open-source movement doesn’t; libre software acts as an extension of good law; it protects and reinforces the rights of the user. Meanwhile non-libre software aims to plunder the user; it deducts from the user’s rights. The way the rights are preserved is through a type of license called copyleft, called so because it forces not only the developer to provide the entirety of the project in a way that respects user freedom, but also any other developer who might build upon it and make their own modifications and distributions of the software. In essence it forces, in a viral way, all derived software to be as respectful of the user’s rights as the original version. It promotes user freedom at the detriment of the developer. * § Programming/Development⠀➾ o ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_RApiDatetime_0.0.10_on CRAN:_Maintenance⠀⇛ A new maintenance release of our RApiDatetime package is now on CRAN, coming just about two years after the previous maintenance release. RApiDatetime provides a number of entry points for C- level functions of the R API for Date and Datetime calculations. The functions asPOSIXlt and asPOSIXct convert between long and compact datetime representation, formatPOSIXlt and Rstrptime convert to and from character strings, and POSIXlt2D and D2POSIXlt convert between Date and POSIXlt datetime. o ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_RProtoBuf_0.4.25_on_CRAN: Mostly_Maintenance⠀⇛ A new maintenance release 0.4.25 of RProtoBuf This release brings an update to a header use force by R- devel, the usual set of continunous integration updates, and a large overhaul of URLs as CRAN is now running more powerful checks. As a benefit the three vignettes have all been refreshed. they are now also delivered via the new Rcpp::asis() vignette builder that permits pre-made pdf files to be used easily. o ⚓ SANS ☛ YARA-X_1.11.0_Release:_Hash_Function_Warnings,_(Sun,_Jan 11th)⠀⇛ * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ Rui Carmo ☛ The_IMAP_Protocol⠀⇛ o ⚓ Opus Interactive Audio Codec ☛ libopusenc_0.3_–_Opus_Codec⠀⇛ This release fixes a number of issues: [...] o ⚓ [Old] Karl Voit ☛ Markdown_Is_a_Disaster:_Why_and_What_to_Do Instead⠀⇛ I'm very well aware that Markdown is the most widely used syntax for that purpose at this moment. It's so widespread that most people do think that Markdown is the only LML there is. My point is that Markdown is a bad syntax choice for LML applications. I think I have good arguments for my point. I also mention better designed LMLs that you should use instead in order to simplify your personal digital life as well as the digital life of so many others that are about to learn their main LML. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 796 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/12/FutureOfGamming_com_Games_Playable_on_the_Steam_Deck_and_Game_J.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/12/FutureOfGamming_com_Games_Playable_on_the_Steam_Deck_and_Game_J.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ FutureOfGamming.com, Games Playable on the Steam Deck, and Game Jam for Free Software Desktop Games⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 12, 2026 * ⚓ FutureOfGamming.com⠀⇛ I started with this page today!

I also haven’t shared a download link to the ISO, for obvious reasons. If you do manage to get hold of one and plan to test it out yourself, only do so if you know exactly what you’re doing. It’s unlikely that it would cause any serious harm today, but it’s also not really worth the risk.

Techrights blogger Roy Schestowitz, in a post titled “‘Vice Coding’ is Not ‘AI’, It’s a Sewer, It Is Junk,” dismissed vibe coding as “code is a liability,” echoing a sentiment voiced by author Cory Doctorow. Critics argue that AI‑generated code can introduce subtle bugs, security vulnerabilities, and licensing ambiguities that are difficult to detect without rigorous human review. Schestowitz also linked the debate to larger corporate dynamics, noting that Microsoft has been reclassifying products such as Office and GitHub under the “AI” banner to inflate perceived value amid financial scrutiny. The implication, according to detractors, is that the hype around AI may be masking deeper quality and accountability issues. Torvalds, however, remains pragmatic. In a recent interview cited by Linux‑related outlets, he said, “If the tool can write a loop that compiles and passes tests, I’m happy to keep it. The real work is in understanding why it works and making sure it doesn’t break anything later.” He added that the AI’s output is always treated as a draft, subject to the same peer‑review standards that govern all kernel contributions. Read_on Linuxiac: * ⚓ Linus_Torvalds_Shares_AudioNoise,_a_Personal_Experiment_in_Audio_DSP⠀⇛ Linus Torvalds, best known as the creator of the Linux kernel, has quietly published a hobby-oriented open-source project (I know, some care is needed when this word appears in the same sentence as his name) called AudioNoise that blends his recent interest in guitar-pedal tinkering with basic digital-audio effects code. The repository on GitHub includes small C implementations of effects like delays, filters, and phasers, alongside a Python visualizer that Torvalds jokingly notes was written through “vibe-coding,” an intuitive, rapid style of development. ⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⢠⣶⠿⣿⣿⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣀⡛⠍⠿⠋⠀⠙⠛ ⠀⣼⣶⣾⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠸⣿⠃⠀⠀⣸⢃⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⡇⣾⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢀⣦⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠸⠿⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⣤⣶⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⣀⢀⣀⡀⣿⢀⣤⣼⣧⣴⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⣴⣿⡆⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⣭⣤⡴⣦⣶⠀⣶⣶⡷⠂⠀⠀⣿⠀⣴⠟⣷⣾⠟⢹⣦⡟⣩⢭⣷⣿⣿⠁⣿⣟⠷⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣇⣀⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣤⣿⣭⣿⠇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠻⣶⠟⠿⠀⠈⠿⠃⠻⠾⠟⠛⠙⠛⠛⠙⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠁⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠉⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⢀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣃⣤⣾⡤⣤⣤⠄⢸⠀⣤⢢⡆⣶⡖⢸⠄⡞⣶⢰⡞⣶⣻⣯⣿⣹⣏⣿⢹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠻⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣀⠀⠀⠀⡃⠈⠒⠉⠑⠉⠉⠂⠈⠉⠉⠈⠉⠉⠁⠈⠀⠈⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣵⣦⣠⣤⢀⣤⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠿⢿⣦⣀⠀⠐⠂⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠈⠙⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣦⡤⣀⠀⠀⢼⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣧⣀⢻⣿⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠁⠺⠟⠁⠀⡀⠀⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⡿⠛⠿⠿⠿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡄⠀⠀⣱⣿⣿⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡅⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⢠⣿⠫⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡤⠀⢤⣶⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⣄⢼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠸⠿⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠷⠁⠀⠈⠙⠥⣤⡤⠤⠤⠤⢄⢀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢣⡆⠬⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣾⣯⣿⣷⡯⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠉⣹⣿⣿⣿⣟⠊⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1114 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/12/Linux_Kernel_Linux_tc_Linus_Torvalds_Turns_to_Slop_Kernel_6_12_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/12/Linux_Kernel_Linux_tc_Linus_Torvalds_Turns_to_Slop_Kernel_6_12_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Linux Kernel: Linux tc, Linus Torvalds Turns to Slop, Kernel 6.12.64 in EasyOS, and Vizio Trial Delayed⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 12, 2026 * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Early_experience_with_using_Linux_tc_to_fight bufferbloat_latency⠀⇛ Conveniently for me, my Linux home desktop is also my DSL router; it speaks PPPoE directly through my DSL modem.

Systems that run hot, idle with high CPU usage, or consume several gigabytes of memory under Windows can become quiet and responsive again after switching to a lightweight Linux distribution. This is not limited to very old hardware. Machines that technically support Windows 11 can still suffer from background services, update overhead, and bundled features that consume resources even when idle. Linux distributions typically avoid that overhead and allow users to decide what runs on their system. On affected systems, the most noticeable change is immediate. Fan noise drops, idle memory usage falls significantly, and basic tasks stop lagging. These improvements tend to persist over time rather than degrade after months of use.

users just got a fresh update — If you're a Windows 10 user who couldn't make the jump to Windows 11, or you're just getting tired of Microsoft's shenanigans lately, you can always give Linux a try. The good news is, there are so many Linux distros out there for you to try. The bad news is, there are so many Linux distros out there that you can get decision paralysis over which one to use. There's no 'perfect' answer for which distro Windows users should try first, but one of the most highly-recommended ones is Linux Mint. It's simple, it's very Windows-like, and you can always use it as a staging ground to explore other distros if you feel like something is missing, albeit there's nothing wrong with sticking with Mint as your daily driver. If you're already running it, or you're curious to see what it's like, the operating system just had a new update released to its main channel. It's called Linux Mint 22.3, codename Zena, and it comes with some nice features.

The board runs on a 7.4V battery and includes a cooling fan for high-power RF operation. We first wrote about the original LILYGO T-Beam (then branded as TTGO) in 2018, and since then, the company introduced various revisions of the T- Beam as it became popular. * ⚓ Patryk_Cisek:_Choosing_Secrets_Manager_for_Homelab⠀⇛ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Secrets Manager for Homelab⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ For a few years, I’ve been managing the configuration of a bunch of self-hosted services using Ansible Playbooks. Each playbook needed at least one secret — the sudo password. Many of them needed to manage more (e.g. SMTP credentials for email notifications). Because I’ve always been paranoid about security, I stored most of those secrets in Ansible Vault, the password for which is stored in only one location — my memory. Therefore, each time I ran any of those playbooks, I’d have to enter two passwords interactively: the sudo password and the Ansible Vault password. * ⚓ This_$120_HDMI_Gadget_Can_Turn_Any_Smart_TV_Into_A_PC⠀⇛ Smart TVs are pretty versatile devices and can do a lot more than what the older "dumb TVs" of yesteryear could. You can already use your smart TV to watch content from major streaming services, play AAA gaming titles on cloud gaming services, or listen to music or podcasts without attaching any extra devices. Now, thanks to a new HDMI gadget the size of a regular streaming stick, you can also add full PC capabilities to your TV. A US-based mini PC maker, Azulle, offers a mini PC in a stick-style form factor that attaches directly to an HDMI port on your TV and brings a full-fledged desktop operating system in the form of Ubuntu. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1506 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/12/Peropesis_3_1_PHP_dosfstools_pciutils_tgpt_p11_kit_hyfetch.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/12/Peropesis_3_1_PHP_dosfstools_pciutils_tgpt_p11_kit_hyfetch.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Peropesis 3.1: PHP, dosfstools, pciutils, tgpt, p11-kit, hyfetch⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 12, 2026 Peropesis 3.1 is released. In the new edition, part of the old software was updated and new software was installed. New software installed: 1. php 8.5.1. A popular general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited to web development. 2. libxml2 2.15.1. libxml2 is an XML toolkit implemented in C. 3. dosfstools 4.2. dosfstools consists of the programs mkfs.fat, fsck.fat and fatlabel to create, check and label file systems of the FAT family. 4. pciutils 3.14.0.

It has been four years since the listing was last updated and, during that time, the IT sector has experienced rapid evolution in the area of cybersecurity. * ⚓ Chris Rackauckas ☛ Why_Julia's_GPU_Accelerated_ODE_Solvers_are_20x-100x Faster_than_Jax_and_PyTorch⠀⇛ [...] In this talk I will go into detail about the architectural differences between the Julia approaches to generating GPU-accelerated solvers vs the standard ML library approach to GPU usage. [...] * ⚓ Chris Gregori ☛ Code_Is_Cheap_Now._Software_Isn’t.⠀⇛ LLMs have effectively killed the cost of generating lines of code, but they haven’t touched the cost of truly understanding a problem. We’re seeing a flood of "apps built in a weekend," but most of these are just thin wrappers around basic CRUD operations and third-party APIs. They look impressive in a Twitter demo, but they often crumble the moment they hit the friction of the real world. The real cost of software isn’t the initial write; it’s the maintenance, the edge cases, the mounting UX debt, and the complexities of data ownership. These "fast" solutions are brittle. * ⚓ The Elixir Team ☛ Type_inference_of_all_constructs_and_the_next_15 months⠀⇛ Today we celebrate 15 years since Elixir’s first commit! To mark the occasion, we are glad to announce the first release candidate for Elixir v1.20, which performs type inference of all language constructs, with increasing precision. In this blog post, we will break down exactly what this means, and what to expect in the short and medium term of the language evolution (roughly the next 15 months). * ⚓ Alex Pozhylenkov ☛ How_Safe_is_the_Rust_Ecosystem?_A_Deep_Dive_into crates.io⠀⇛ If you scrolled past the data to get to the end, don’t worry—I can’t blame you! 😉 The analysis shows a quite concerning situation in the Rust ecosystem. A significant portion, around 30%, of actively used crates fail to pass a standard configuration of the cargo-deny tool. Beyond the raw numbers, the data uncovers a clear chain of causality regarding project safety: [...] * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-01-05_[Older]_Live_streaming_the_Perl_5.43.7 development_release⠀⇛ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-01-01_[Older]_DBIx::Class::Async_-_Introduction⠀⇛ * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ The New Stack ☛ Python:_What's_Coming_in_2026⠀⇛ If 2025 was “the year of type checking and language server protocols” for Python, will 2026 be the year of the type server protocol? “Transformative” developments like free threading were said to be coming to Python in 2026, along with performance-improving “lazy” imports for Python modules. We’ll (hopefully) also be seeing improved Python agent frameworks. But 2026 could even see a change in change itself — in the ways that Python changes are proposed. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ Kevin Boone ☛ Kevin_Boone:_Command-line_hacking:_Downloading_a podcast_to_create_an_audiobook⠀⇛ This is another article in my occasional series on doing useful and (I hope) somewhat unusual things under Linux, using scripting and command-line utilities. Today's example is, I concede, likely to be useful only to a small number of people -- perhaps only me. Nevertheless, it does illustrate some useful features of Bash scripting, including XML parsing and array handling. As always, I'm only going to outline the code here -- for the complete code, please refer to the Download section at the end. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Vikash Patel ☛ Memory_Mechanics_In_Go_-_Stack_vs_Heap⠀⇛ When optimizing for high throughput, efficient loops and database indexes are only part of the story. Eventually, you have to talk about the Stack and the Heap. Understanding the difference isn’t just trivia. It is the difference between a service that hums along at 100k OPS with flat latency, and one that chokes on Garbage Collection (GC) pauses every few seconds. This post explores the mechanics of Go’s memory management, why the Stack is your friend, and why “using pointers for performance” is often a lie we tell ourselves. o ⚓ Go Components ☛ gomponents,_HTML_components_in_pure_Go⠀⇛ gomponents are HTML components in pure Go. They render to HTML 5, and make it easy for you to build reusable components. So you can focus on building your app instead of learning yet another templating language. * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ RAKwireless_rolls_out_WisMesh_RAK3312_Meshtastic LoRa_starter_kit⠀⇛ The kit uses the RAK3312 WisBlock Core, which combines an Espressif ESP32-S3 dual-core microcontroller clocked at up to 240 MHz with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE connectivity, along with a Semtech SX1262 LoRa transceiver. o ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Orbbec_Gemini_305_pairs_close-range_stereo_vision with_low_latency⠀⇛ The Gemini 305 is a compact stereo 3D camera developed specifically for robotic wrist mounting. Measuring 42 x 42 x 23 mm, it supports depth and color imaging at distances as short as 4 cm, targeting close-range manipulation, grasping, and object recognition tasks. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1760 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/12/Review_MenuetOS_SparkyLinux_with_CDE_iDeal_OS_2025_12_07.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/12/Review_MenuetOS_SparkyLinux_with_CDE_iDeal_OS_2025_12_07.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Review: MenuetOS, SparkyLinux with CDE, iDeal OS 2025.12.07⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jan 12, 2026 Quoting: DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing.

Like MX Linux, iDeal provides a huge collection of software (thanks to its Debian grandparent), the useful MX Tools collection of administration utilities, and the system worked smoothly for me. The DNS Switcher utility worked well, easily switching my DNS service on the fly and making it possible to quickly test the results. For people who want to change their DNS service, this is an ideal tool for it (please excuse the pun), at least assuming we want to use on the of dozen or so providers listed.

(hypervisor). That might give us time to apply patches and quickly reboot. Aside from that, we push back against bullies and remind_them_to_follow_the_law. A year ago we stopped feeding the birds at the back of the home and instead moved them all to the grass at the front, which gives them more space and perhaps better security. None has been harmed. Upon moving, them the bottle- feeding ended because habits changed, but this past week they've regained confidence to take seeds directly from bottles. Several of them remain here under after dark, too, though they're careful to check their surroundings for predators like cats. This week we celebrate another important milestone, apart from a couple of birthdays in the family. We don't envision going out of Town when the weather is terrible (too cold or too rainy). Next month we'll start an important series here and in the sister site. In summertime this site turns 22. Life goes on as usual. Some days we find more news than usual; weekends are slower, news-wise. That gives us more time to produce original stories such as this. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Those_who_deign_to_class_pigeons_as_rats_of_the_sky_have_clearly never_seen_a_Pigmy_Pouter. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠽⠿⠿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣶⣔⣠⣶⣀⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⣠⠀⠀⢠⡀⣀⠀⢀⡀⠤⡀⣀⣀⣱⠶⠒⣾⠿⢿⣿⣻⣿⣏⡉⢿⣿⣿⣿⡻⠿⠿⢛⣯⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⢠⡤⠴⢢⣾⡄⠙⣿⡆⢬⣼⡿⢦⣾⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⡟⣲⣾⣷⣶⣿⢹⣯⡍⣡⢰⣿⣿⣿⠛⢓⣯⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠾⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⣤⠄⠀⠈⠟⣌⢻⣛⣛⣳⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⡶⣶⢿⣻⣭⣽⣷⣾⣏⣻⣿⣿⣶⣥⣬⣍⣩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣶⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡟⢏⢈⣡⣤⣴⣿⣿⣿⣌⣀⣀⠛⢛⢛⡿⣟⣽⣷⣬⣭⣯⣍⣤⣿⣤⣝⢻⣿⣿⣩⣽⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⠛⠋⣻⠟⠉⣁⠿⣿⣿⣶⣖⣷⣶⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢼⡿⣻⣿⠻⢿⣄⡀⠈⢿⢿⣷⣼⣿⣿⣿⢋⣽⡧⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⠁⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⢻⡿⠀⠀⠻⢿⣶⣷⣛⣿⣿⡽⣹⣿⣿⡇⣠⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢋⢀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣊⣀⣀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠂⠈⣽⠛⡿⢣⣿⣿⡟⣻⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⢷⡯⣿⣇⡧⣫⡔⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠲⣦⡤⠀⠀⠁⣸⠃⢰⠃⠈⣼⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⢟⣟⣿⣞⣿⣾⣿⣟⣽⣺⣗⢏⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⠈⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠍⢻⣦⠄⢁⣄⡋⣄⣀⠔⠚⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢽⢿⣿⣿⣽⣟⢿⣹⣟⠮⠧⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡟⠋⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣀⡀⠠⠚⠉⠀⢴⡖⢒⡊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⡿⣺⣽⣻⣼⣹⡴⠪⡗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡗⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⠀⠀⠀⣈⠅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢾⢾⡿⢿⣾⣿⢿⡺⢿⡿⣿⣭⠧⢶⠬⠸⡌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⢭⢭⣯⣿⣿⣿⣽⣻⣿⣯⣿⣽⣫⣟⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢒⣞⣿⣿⣷⣞⣞⣿⢷⣟⣿⢾⣷⢯⡿⣦⣄⠀⠀⢀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⣀⠀⢀⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⢀⣠⣾⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢊⢽⠿⢿⠿⣿⣟⣿⣽⡿⣟⣿⣟⡿⣽⣽⡇⣴⣿⠿⠁⢉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡗⠈⢦⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠝⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢰⡏⢻⡿⠿⠗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠩⢽⣽⣭⣭⣽⣽⡷⣾⣿⣿⢟⣷⢯⣿⢃⣿⡇⣢⣀⠀⠛⠛⠟⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠹⣿⡻⣿⣷⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠊⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣡⣿⡟⣸⣿⣦⣔⣒⣒⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠿⠷⠷⡷⣟⣿⣭⣼⠟⣷⣿⢇⣾⡯⢅⣿⡿⢠⣷⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⡱⠁⠸⡿⠿⡿⢲⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⠷⠿⠛⣉⣥⣾⡿⠟⢤⣛⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣝⣟⣢⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠋⠻⠭⠵⠾⣛⣭⠴⠿⠛⠥⣺⣥⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⡛⠛⠛⢛⢛⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠈⠀⠘⠟⠉⣁⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢀⣀⣒⡿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣚⣛⠻⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⢤⣤⢼⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣴⣶⣾⣿⣟⠿⢿⡛⠠⠶⠶⠦⠄⠀⠰⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠇⠈⠡⠤⠖⠄⠤⣀⡉⠉⠉⠁⠸⠺⠷⠄⠀⠀⠠⠤⠀⠐⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⢻⢺⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣥⢏⣀⣥⣀⣀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠁⠀⠉⠵⠶⠿⣛⣿⡿⠻⠼⠳⠿⢟⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠻⠟⠻⠋⠠⠤⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣉⣉⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣒⣂⣠⣠⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣔⣖⣺⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣩⣥⣴⣶⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣖⣢⣴⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1999 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/12/Stable_kernels_Linux_6_18_5_Linux_6_12_65_Linux_6_6_120_and_Lin.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/12/Stable_kernels_Linux_6_18_5_Linux_6_12_65_Linux_6_6_120_and_Lin.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Stable kernels: Linux 6.18.5, Linux 6.12.65, Linux 6.6.120, and Linux 6.1.160⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jan 12, 2026 I'm announcing the release of the 6.18.5 kernel.

Finally we discuss observability and support, which become crucial when a GPU reliability issue slips by our automated healthchecking systems. We’ve chosen not to refer to cloud providers directly, but instead give them anonymized A, B, C, D identifiers. If you want know who’s who, track the clues or buy us a beer sometime. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Xfce_is_great⠀⇛ I have not been shy talking about my love of Xfce over the years here. The desktop environment has been a trusted friend ever since I first loved it on the late Cobind Desktop (still the high water mark of desktop Linux, as far as I’m concerned). I’m glad to see I’m not the only one. David Gerard of Pivot to AI fame recently shared this post he wrote in 2012: [...] * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Distro Watch ☛ DistroWatch.com:_Put_the_fun_back_into_computing. Use_Linux,_BSD.⠀⇛ [...] This week we handle a similar, but rarely asked question: Which flavour of BSD is ideal for a novice? We discuss the BSD families and make a recommendation in this week's Questions and Answers column. [...] o ⚓ Luc Lenôtre ☛ Maestro:_2025_retrospective⠀⇛ The goal I had planned for the end of 2026 was to have a desktop environment working. That involves: [...] o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ DragonFly BSD Digest ☛ Lazy_Reading_for_2026/01/11⠀⇛ More BSD content than usual. Home Assistant as Personal Device Tracker. BSD PF versus GNU/Linux nftables for firewalls for us. The Rise of Computer Games, Part I: Adventure.  “The tale grew in the telling” Systems design 3: LLMs and the semantic revolution. ASP level generation autoplay. The story of Propolice, the OpenBSD stack protector. # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Being_comfortable_with_“trying”⠀⇛ Trying lowers the barrier to entry. It smashes down gatekeepers. It makes a new endeavour approachable, meaning you’re more likely to attempt it. I can’t tell you the number of times someone has asked me whether they should “try” running BSD. My answer is always the same: yes! To tackle a cliché with another: [...] o § Arch Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Verify_Arch_GNU/Linux_artifacts_using_VOA/OpenPGP⠀⇛ In the recent blog post on the work funded by Sovereign Tech Fund (STF), we provided an overview of the "File Hierarchy for the Verification of OS Artifacts" (VOA) and the voa project as its reference implementation. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Jamie_Nguyen:_Curious_things_I_discovered_about_Ansible_in Advent_of_Code⠀⇛ In December, I did my first Advent_of_Code_(opens in_new_tab). I used Ansible, which is a terrible choice for programming challenges but that’s part of the fun! o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Doom_conquers_the_kitchen_through_an electric_cooking_pot_—_classic_shooter_runs_seamlessly_after a_full_device_firmware_refresh⠀⇛ Connected to it by a simple four-wire cable is the front touchscreen module. Removing that assembly exposes significantly more capable hardware. The Wi-Fi module is confirmed to be an ESP32, while the main processor on the display board is identified as a Renesas R7S721031VZ. The creator calls it “quite a nice chip,” adding that “it is quite powerful and it has a lot of GPIOs. It’s an Arm core.” ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2740 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/12/Xibo_open_source_digital_signage_solution_now_works_with_Raspbe.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/12/Xibo_open_source_digital_signage_solution_now_works_with_Raspbe.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Xibo open-source digital signage solution now works with Raspberry Pi 5 thanks to the Arexibo project⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jan 12, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇H.264_video_playback_in_Xibo_–_CPU_usage⦈_ Quoting: Xibo open-source digital signage solution now works with Raspberry Pi 5 thanks to the Arexibo project - CNX Software — Xibo digital signage solution is now compatible with the Raspberry Pi 5 thanks to Axeribo, an unofficial alternative to the digital signage player for Xibo, that is implemented in Rust, and designed for Linux platforms. Long-time readers of CNX Software may remember that I played around with the Xibo open-source digital signage player many years ago (2011-2012). I notably managed to run Xibo for Arm in QEMU, test Xibo digital signage in the Raspberry Pi emulator, and even try it on real hardware: a MeLE A1000 Android TV box to which I installed Linux. It kind of works, but without hardware video decoding and no 3D graphics acceleration, performance was rather on the low side. I eventually stopped playing around with Xibo Arm Linux once Xibo for Android was released in late 2012, and the developers decided to drop support for the Linux client (although they relaunched it in 2019 for x86 only).
