Susan got the ball rolling way back in 2004 (almost at the same time Phoronix started) and Rianne took over in 2013. This year, just like last year, we plan to do something special for the site. Seeing that Software Freedom may_be_getting_more_mainstream_again, perhaps we'll find a way to embody the sentiment of freedom. We still have 5 months left to decide how to do that. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Wind_Costume ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠙⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣞⡶⢖⢆⢀⠀⢠⠀⠀⠓⠀⠘⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⡿⠞⠀⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⢸⣿⡿⠛⠉⠀⠰⢆⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⡦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡼⠇⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣀⢠⡄⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⡿⡿⣿⣿⣾⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣿⣿⣦⡁⠀⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠄⠈⠉⢠⣤⣿⣿⣿⡟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡀⠄⠀⣀⡺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣏⠱⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠙⠋⡼⠁⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⠿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠳⢀⣀⣶⣾⡄⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⠁⠀⠈⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣻⣿⣷⣤⡦⣰⡄⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⢄⠀⠉⢻⣿⣿⣷⡜⢿⣿⣫⡾⣹⣿⣿⣿⠆⣄⣀⠀⠀⠈⠹⠟⠋⠋⠀⣠⣶⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡀⣔⡚⠂⡀⠠⣿⣶⣶⣌⢉⣩⣥⣬⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⢱⣶⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⡏⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⡇⣿⣷⣶⠤⠀⠈⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢷⣿⢿⣿⡿⠃⣽⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⡀⠀⡀⣢⡿⡉⢹⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⠙⠆⠑⠎⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⠟⢒⣀⠴⢋⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣬⣤⣶⢏⡔⣁⡏⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠀⠸⣿⣷⣆⡙⠢⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣻⣥⣶⠆⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢟⡡⠟⣼⡟⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣄⣿⣿⣿⣦⡘⣿⣏⠛⣶⣄⣀⡀⣴⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⢿⣯⡾⠿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣛⣭⢶⠏⣠⣾⡟⢡⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⢠⡤⢴⣾⣿⡿⠿⡿⠟⠛⠛⠃⠈⠹⢶⣟⡛⠛⠛⠙⠛⠻⠷⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠌⠉⠐⠈⠁⠀⠂⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠢⣦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠠⢤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠛⠷⠂⠙⠷⣶⣤⣤⣶⣞⣼⣿⣿⣷⣾⣷⣤⠀⠀⢰⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠶⠛⠉⠁⠈⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢀⣄⠀⠀⠀⠙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠿⠛⠱⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢻⣿⣿⣟⢟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⡟⠉⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠉⠷⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣘⣙⣉⣉⣻⡿⣿⠿⡻⠀⠙⠉⠁⠀⠀⠁⠈⢿⣿⣇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠚⢿⡶⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠫⠙⡀⠀⠀⠴⠄⠀⣠⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠤⠈⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⠃⠈⠆⢀⠐⠒⠀⠀⠚⣉⣽⡿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣦⣄⡀⠛⢁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣚⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣀⣀⣀⠀⠘⠿⢿⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⣤⣶⣾⣿⣷⡏⡙⣻⡟⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣴⣆⢠⣾⡿⠋⠹⠛⡋⣉⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⣹⣿⣿⣟⣿⡖⠀⠀⢸⠛⠏⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⢠⣴⣤⣿⣿⡿⣻⠉⣥⢢⡟⣰⡆⠶⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠑⠂⠀⠀⣰⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢀⣺⣿⣟⣟⣡⣯⣍⠓⠚⠉⠃⠆⠀⠦⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⣀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠐⢿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⢴⣦⣶⣶⣶⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣽⣿⣿⣷⢀⣠⣿⣿⣟⡟⡚⡾⠿⢻⣿⣆⣵⡄⠀⡄⠠⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠛⠻⠙⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠉⠙⠛⠻⠿⢏⣡⡴⠟⠻⠿⠟⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠂⠀⢧⣧⢰⠈⠑⠿⣹⣀⠀⠁⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⠟⠿⠉⠭⢛⢉⣿⣧⡆⠃⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠃⢀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⠉⠁⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠄⠼⠙⠛⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠺⠀⠇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠃⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢉⢤⣸⡝⠄⠀⠀⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⢴⣦⣤⣄⣠⣤⠴⠶⠀⠀⢶⣆⡀⠀⢤⣠⣅⣤⣶⣶⣼⡻⠿⣿⠹⠷⠞⠂⠀⠀⡀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣅⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣤⣤⣦⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 182 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/18/9to5Linux_Weekly_Roundup_January_18th_2026.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/18/9to5Linux_Weekly_Roundup_January_18th_2026.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 9to5Linux Weekly Roundup: January 18th, 2026⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Jan 18, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇9to5Linux_Weekly_Roundup⦈_ This week, we got new releases of Mozilla Firefox, Wine, KDE Plasma, Mozilla Thunderbird, NVIDIA graphics driver, GRUB bootloader, Wireshark, GNOME, Amarok, PipeWire, Raspberry Pi Imager, Tails, EndeavourOS, and more.

Due to harassment, it's gone, but forks of it live on. "OpenSlopware" was a repository on the European Codeberg git forge containing a list of free software and open source projects which use LLM-bot generated code, or integrate LLMs, or which show signs of "coding assistants" being used on the codebase, such as pull requests created or modified by automated coding tools. However, its creator – who we are intentionally not naming or tagging here – received so much harassment from LLM boosters that they removed the repository, and indeed their Bluesky account, stating that they would withdraw from social media for a while. Now, if you try to visit the original URL, you will receive only a 404 message. All is not lost, though. Although it contained human-readable text, it was a Git repository, and so it was possible to fork it – clone its contents into another different repository. Several people did so before the original OpenSlopware creator deleted it again, such as this Small-Hack version, also on Codeberg. The Register has contacted the maintainer of this fork and asked if they'd talk to us about it, but so far, they say they're still thinking about it. Others were planning to maintain copies but have decided to join forces with this one.

This is free and open source software. * ⚓ fpm_-_Fortran_Package_Manager_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Fortran Package Manager (fpm) is a package manager and build system for Fortran. Its key goal is to improve the user experience of Fortran programmers. It does so by making it easier to build your Fortran program or library, run the executables, tests, and examples, and distribute it as a dependency to other Fortran projects. Fpm’s user interface is modeled after Rust’s Cargo. Fpm is an early prototype and is evolving rapidly. You can use it to build and package your Fortran projects, as well as to use existing fpm packages as dependencies. Fpm’s behavior and user interface may change as it evolves. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Brrtfetch_-_animated_system_information_fetcher_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Brrtfetch is an animated system information fetcher written mainly in Go.

They analyze code for potential issues, enforce coding standards, and help catch errors before they are pushed into production. Linters are not necessarily a quick fix, can be a distraction, and it’s not inconceivable that they may not be helpful with old, large code bases. This article picks some useful tools to help you fix Kotlin code. Here’s our verdict captured in a legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart.

For Linux we recommend that home users install software that hides the complexity of doing backups. To provide an insight into the quality of software that is available, we have compiled a list of 11 top Linux simple backup software. Hopefully, there will be something here of interest to anyone who wants to take the effort out of ensuring the safety of their data. * ⚓ Yōzefu_-_explore_data_of_a_Kafka_cluster_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Yōzefu is an interactive terminal user interface (TUI) application for exploring data of a kafka cluster.

That’s crucial information especially for wheelchair routing, and MOTIS, the routing engine used by Transitous, can take this into consideration. However, it doesn’t support the SIRI format yet. o § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ GNOME ☛ Sriram_Ramkrishna:_GNOME_OS_Hackfest_During_FOSDEM week⠀⇛ For those of you who are attending FOSDEM, we’re doing a GNOME OS hackfest and invite those of you who might be interested on our experiments on concepts as the ‘anti-distro’, eg an OS with no distro packaging that integrates GNOME desktop patterns directly. The hackfest is from January 28th – January 29th. If you’re interested, feel free to respond on the comments. I don’t have an exact location yet. We’ll likely have some kind of BigBlueButton set up so if you’re not available to come in-person you can join us remotely. Agenda and attendees are linked here here. There is likely a limited capacity so acceptance will be “first come, first served”. * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o ⚓ Automation_Impediment⠀⇛ Have you ever spent hours on a so-called customer service call, and come out with the feeling that it was not worth it? Or fighting a web site or a phone app to cancel a service or get a problem fixed, while feeling like the designers of those interfaces meant for you to prefer to be doing something else, anything else whatsoever? o ⚓ Rui Carmo ☛ My_Rube_Goldberg_RSS_Pipeline⠀⇛ RSS remains the best, most noise-free way to keep track of most things I care about, and at one point I peaked at 300+ feeds. But the reason it’s been working out for me is not just having a single source of truth, or the apps themselves–it’s the way that I approached having multiple hundreds of new items (sometimes thousands) every morning and whittling everything down to a few meaningful things to read every day. o ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ More_HTTP/3_focus,_one_backend_less⠀⇛ Today we cleanup even more and remove support for yet another backend: the OpenSSL-QUIC stack and we are now down to only supporting two different HTTP/ 3 alternatives: the nghttp2 + nghttp3 combo or quiche. And out of those two, the quiche backend is still considered experimental.

No, the ANS is not running Linux or NetBSD. No, this is not a backport of NCommander's AIX Doom, because that runs on AIX 4.3. The Apple Network Server could run no version of AIX later than 4.1.5 and there are substantial technical differences. (As it happens, the very fact it won't run on an ANS was what prompted me to embark on this port in the first place.) And no, this is not merely an exercise in flogging a geriatric compiler into building Doom Generic, though we'll necessarily do that as part of the conversion. There's no AIX sound driver for ANS audio, so this port is mute, but at the end we'll have a Doom executable that runs well on the ANS console under CDE and has no other system prerequisites. We'll even test it on one of IBM's PowerPC AIX laptops as well. Because we should. * ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Playing_Video_Games_Has_an_Unexpected_Effect_on_Kids' IQ,_Study_Says⠀⇛ Screen time with benefits. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Proton_Experimental_brings_updates_for_MonoGame, Rockstar_Launcher_and_more_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Valve launched a new update for Proton Experimental for January 16th to improve various games and launchers working on SteamOS / Linux.

— Fortunately, Linux users have a lot of tools in their arsenal to deal with this. People can use distros that have minimal update cycles to reduce the number of chances of everything going pear-shaped. Some people, especially on rapidly updating distros, can perform a TimeShift or Snapper snapshot right before an update, so they have something to revert to. And some brave souls just hit the upgrade button and pray for the best. Everyone has their way of dealing with them. As for me, I prefer to use an operating system where protection against bad updates doesn't rely on a slow update cycle or a third- party app. Instead, it's something baked into the core of the OS itself. a part of what makes it tick in the first place. And that special ingredient is an immutable distro.

and it was easier than I imagined — Anyone who has ever installed Windows will tell you that it has a friendly installation process. Installing Linux Mint is just as simple: you simply download the ISO, create a bootable USB flash drive, and then follow the installation prompts. The user-friendliness of Linux Mint’s download page particularly stands out. It segments the available editions and features a button that redirects to detailed installation instructions. For this experiment, I installed the Cinnamon edition of Linux Mint 22.3. It would be a shame not to mention that Mint has over 130 local download mirrors and a torrent option that you’ll love if you’ve ever experienced problems while downloading a large file via a browser's Downloads Manager.

It now runs like a snail and has been gathering dust on my shelf for the last seven years. I had the bright idea of installing Linux on it and converting it into my self-hosted cloud server. However, after installing a few Linux distros — Linux Mint, Zorin OS, and openSUSE — it still didn't feel as snappy as I'd hoped. So I tried a distro I'd never used before: Bodhi Linux. This distro epitomizes lightweight and is quite unlike any of the popular ones I'd tried in the past; it's the perfect distro for a certain set of people.

But lately, I’ve realized there’s something else that matters just as much, if not more: the package manager. Most distros stick to the usual options. Debian-based systems use apt, Fedora relies on dnf, and Arch-based distros come with pacman. After spending time with all of them, I think pacman has a clear edge, and it’s become my favorite by a pretty wide margin. * ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ Shotcut_26.1_Beta_added_Hardware_Decoding_for_Preview Scaling_&_Export⠀⇛ Shotcut video editor released the Beta version of 26.1 today for testing purpose.

Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 18, 2026 * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ An_old_parking_meter_and_a_Pi_make_beautiful_music together⠀⇛ An enterprising engineer has turned an old parking meter into a jukebox using a Pi Zero 2 and some open source code. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ The_Shelly_2.5_Smart_Relay_Design_Flaw_Killing_Capacitors⠀⇛ As noted in the Shelly documentation for the device, it’s a very compact form factor device, with screw terminals, two relays, and three fairly large electrolytic capacitors sharing very little space with the rest of the components. The apparent flaw comes in the form of these capacitors failing, with the video showing that one 100 µF capacitor has a massively increased ESR, likely due to electrolyte venting. This results in the observed symptoms, such as WiFi connectivity issues and audible hissing, the latter of which is demonstrated in the video. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ The_Cutest_Weather_Forecast_On_E-Ink_And_ESP32⠀⇛ Aside from the parts that are obviously on Google servers, this is all integrated in [Jesse]’s Home Assistant server. That server stores the generated image until the ESP32 fetches it. He’s using a reTerminal board from SeedStudio that includes an ESP32-S3 and a Spectrum6 coloor e-ink display. That display leaves something to be desired in coloration, so on top of dithering the image to match the palette of the display, he’s also got a bit of color-correction in place to make it really pop. * ⚓ John Calhoun ☛ 3D_Printing_(2025)⠀⇛ I’ve had an Ender 3D filament printer for some time now. The results have not been spectacular, so I sort of shelved the thing, not too enthusiastic about pulling it out. As I recall it was a trick to get it level—maybe the spring/wheel thing for adjusting the bed were broken or something. In any event, I definitely caught wind of all the hype surrounding the Bambu Labs printers that were getting accolades. The price was surprisingly reasonable and so I decided to pull the trigger on one to see if they were all that. It turns out that I didn’t hate 3D printing, I just hated my Ender. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Axiomtek_Previews_Jetson_Thor_T5000/T4000_Developer_Kit for_Robotics_Systems⠀⇛ The platform is shown with Jetson Thor T5000 or T4000 modules, offering up to 2070 TFLOPS of compute performance. Axiomtek notes support for software frameworks such as NVIDIA Isaac, Holoscan, and Metropolis, with capabilities aligned with sensor fusion, autonomous systems, and edge inference use cases. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1608 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/18/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/18/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 18, 2026 * ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ My_first_20,000_curl_commits⠀⇛ But yes, today I merged my 20,000th commit into the curl repository – out of a total of 37,604 commits (53%). Not that anyone is counting. * ⚓ Vlad-Stefan Harbuz ☛ How_Binary_Dependencies_Work_Across_Different Languages⠀⇛ Sometimes, your code depends on a library, but you don’t want to compile that library’s source code alongside your program. Rather, you want to directly call into a compiled binary of the library. This most frequently happens when you want to call a C library from languages like Python, JavaScript or Rust. In this situation, the library you’re calling is a binary dependency of your program. * ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ Lockfile_Format_Design_and_Tradeoffs⠀⇛ Lockfiles record which packages were installed, at what versions, from where, with what checksums. Most package managers have one: Gemfile.lock, package-lock.json, Cargo.lock, poetry.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml. (Go splits this across go.mod and go.sum.) They solve the same problem but make different decisions about format, structure, and what to include.1 A good lockfile format optimizes for mergeability, determinism, and external tooling compatibility, even when that means sacrificing compactness or human readability. Early lockfile formats prioritized getting resolution right over optimizing for version control. npm’s nested JSON matched its node_modules structure. Bundler’s custom format made dependency trees visible. Considerations like merge- friendliness came later, as projects grew and lockfile conflicts became a regular pain point. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-01-12_[Older]_Taking_the_Win_-_Perl_in_the_TIOBE Index⠀⇛ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-01-12_[Older]_perlmodules.net_is_down_for_1-2_weeks⠀⇛ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-01-11_[Older]_Marlin_Racing⠀⇛ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-01-10_[Older]_ANNOUNCE:_Perl.Wiki_V_1.37⠀⇛ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-01-07_[Older]_DBIx::Class::Async_-_UPDATE⠀⇛ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-01-06_[Older]_This_week_in_PSC_(210)_|_2026-01-05⠀⇛ * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ Rich Trouton ☛ Enabling_a_standard_user_account_to_access_the unified_system_log_on_macOS_using_the_log_command_line_tool_|_Der Flounder⠀⇛ The combination of the two sometimes means I get halted while working because the log command line tool needs an account with admin privileges to run when it is getting log information from the unified system log on the Mac I’m using. Using the log command line tool doesn’t require root privileges or require admin authorization, but it needs to be run by a user with admin rights. o ⚓ Karl Bartel ☛ Raising_Notifications_From_Terminal⠀⇛ When executing long-running jobs in the terminal, it's useful to get notified when they complete so you can do other things while waiting. Here are a few ways to achieve this. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Daniel Lemire ☛ A_new_way_to_call_C_from_Java:_how_fast_is_it?⠀⇛ Irrespective of your programming language of choice, calling C functions is often a necessity. For the longest time, the only standard way to call C was the Java Native Interface (JNI). But it was so painful that few dared to do it. I have heard it said that it was deliberately painful so that people would be enticed to use pure Java as much as possible. Since Java 22, there is a new approach called the Foreign Function & Memory API in java.lang.foreign. Let me go through step by step. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1740 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/18/Recent_GNU_Linux_Videos.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/18/Recent_GNU_Linux_Videos.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Recent GNU/Linux Videos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 18, 2026 * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2026-01-11_[Older]_Tag_your_MP3_Files_with_Puddletag⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2026-01-11_[Older]_This_Is_The_Internet_Archive_For_Open Source_Code⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2026-01-11_[Older]_Torvalds_on_AI_in_the_kernel,_EU prepares_for_FOSS,_Goodbye_Middle_click_to_paste?_Linux_Weekly_News⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2026-01-10_[Older]_CachyOS_Linux_Full_Review:_What_Makes_It Different?⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2026-01-10_[Older]_Manjaro_26.0_"Anh-Linh"_PLASMA_Edition overview_|_Manjaro_Empowering_Devices_and_Users⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2026-01-10_[Older]_GNOME_Disables_Middle_Click_Paste,_Chaos Ensues⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2026-01-10_[Older]_The_Future_Of_The_Linux_Distro_Is_No Distro⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2026-01-10_[Older]_How_To_Use_The_Stat_Command_In_Linux_ (Complete_Guide)⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2026-01-08_[Older]_Qtile_On_Wayland...It_Kinda_Works!⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2026-01-07_[Older]_StackOverflow_Is_Absolutely_Cooked⠀⇛ * ⚓ Invidious ☛ 2026-01-05_[Older]_Is_Valve_TOO_Powerful?_#Gaming_#Linux #Steam⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1798 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/18/Stable_kernels_Linux_6_18_6_Linux_6_12_66_Linux_6_6_121_and_Lin.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/18/Stable_kernels_Linux_6_18_6_Linux_6_12_66_Linux_6_6_121_and_Lin.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Stable kernels: Linux 6.18.6, Linux 6.12.66, Linux 6.6.121, and Linux 6.1.161⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jan 18, 2026 I'm announcing the release of the 6.18.6 kernel.

Every minute, automated bots scan the internet for vulnerable GNU/Linux systems, attempting thousands of brute-force attacks on SSH ports and web services. One security tool stands out for its effectiveness and simplicity: Fail2Ban. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Setting_Up_A_Cluster_of_Tiny_PCs_For_Parallel_Computing_–_A Note_To_Myself⠀⇛ Part of something I want to learn this year is getting a little more into parallel computing. How we can distribute simulation computations across different devices. Lately, we have more reasons to do this because quite a few of our simulations require long running computation and leaving my laptop running overnight or several days is just not a good use it. We have also tried cloud computing as well and without knowing how those distributed cores are, well, distributed, it’s hard for me to conceptualize how these are done and what else we could optimize. Hence, what is a better way of doing it on our own! Sit tight, this is going to be a bumpy one.

Rsnapshot uses rsync over SSH and maintains a temporal hard-link file pool. Once rsnapshot is configured and running, on the backup server, you get a hardlink farm with directories like this for the remote server: [...] ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2375 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/18/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/18/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 18, 2026 * § Server⠀➾ o ⚓ Nico Cartron ☛ I've_migrated_my_domain_to_Mythic_Beasts⠀⇛ After 23 years being a loyal Gandi.net customer, I decided to move away after the insane price increase Gandi applied in the past years. * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ GreyCoder ☛ A_List_Of_Good_Long-Format_Podcasts⠀⇛ Here’s a list of good long-format podcasts: [...] * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Martijn Braam ☛ BodgeOS_pt.6⠀⇛ At some point BodgeOS has become an actually usable system.

But if you are already comfortable with another distro, switching just for better game performance can be a hassle. But that’s the beauty of Linux. It’s meant to be modular, so nothing is really stopping you from bringing the best parts of something like CachyOS or Nobara to your current Linux install using a few simple tweaks.
