Docker⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 26, 2026 * ⚓ XDA ☛ Tmux_is_the_productivity_tool_every_Linux_user_needs⠀⇛ When I got into Linux, I stuck with GUI tools for a few months before slowly transitioning to terminal applications. With all the QoL features in Konsole, Ghostty, and other modern terminal emulators, my coding tasks became surprisingly fast, though something was still amiss. Thanks to my home lab, I’d often switch distros on a whim, which meant learning new shortcuts for each emulator. And since I’ve always loved tinkering with VMs, I’d have to put up with random disconnections that forced me to rerun long commands. Fortunately, I encountered Tmux fairly early in my Linux forays, and after getting accustomed to its commands, it's become an essential part of my CLI workflow – to the point where it’s the first app I install on every Linux VM and bare- metal system in my computing arsenal. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Stop_swapping_keyboards:_This_free_app_stitches_your_Linux and_Windows_PCs_together⠀⇛ Do you have multiple Linux PCs that you work with? Do you ever find yourself annoyed by switching between keyboards and mice? You're in luck thanks to this free and open source app. * ⚓ XDA ☛ This_brilliant_Linux_utility_just_got_a_whole_lot_more_powerful⠀⇛ For users who have only used the Windows operating system all their lives, switching to Linux won't be straightforward. But it is still worth it for anyone who wants more control over the performance of their laptops or desktops. And for that, Linux already has numerous built-in tools. While built-in tools are comprehensive and have other advantages, Linux supports a wide range of open-source utilities that can do a far better job in specific scenarios. An example of such a utility is auto-cpufreq, a popular CPU and power optimizer for Linux. And the auto-cpufreq has recently become significantly more powerful, thanks to the latest update. * ⚓ XDA ☛ These_7_Docker_containers_make_Linux_the_perfect_home_lab_OS⠀⇛ Building your own home lab is a great way to set up a platform for self-hosting services to save money and learn something new. Linux is often recommended as the go-to operating system for running a home lab, though this usually comes in the form of Proxmox or some other solution that's built to handle home lab deployments out of the box. But what if you wanted to use your favorite Linux distro, usually reserved for PCs? ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 513 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/26/compromising_encryption_keys.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/26/compromising_encryption_keys.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ compromising encryption keys⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 26, 2026, updated Jan 26, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Alexandre_Oliva⦈_ You think you're preserving the privacy of your data by using cryptography? Think_again, or your data sovereignty will be at risk. Cryptography can indeed keep your private data safe, but only if you guard the keys privately and safely. Microsoft's practice of uploading your keys to its own servers is the opposite of that. That malpractice just makes it easier for [Abusive Monopolist] Microsoft to comply with orders from terrorist governments that don't respect human rights. But it's actually much worse than that! Microsoft [backdoored] Windows is a nonfree operating system. This means it's a set of programs that controls your computer and (nearly) everything that runs on it (operating system), and that it doesn't serve you (nonfree), but rather its true master. In the case of [Abusive Monopolist] Microsoft Windows, the true master is Microsoft. Microsoft built a universal backdoor into its nonfree operating It also instructed its nonfree operating system to contact mothership regularly for new instructions.

Other formats not tested but possible. Lossless cutting implies not to reencode (decode/encode) the frames. So cutting can only be done at “I-Frames”. The library searches for the closest Frame at the given cutting point. Reencoding is possible for exact cutting as well as converting to different containers and codecs. VideoCut supports the cutting of subtitles when “Show subtitles” in the settings dialog is enabled. This flag will display the “first” subtitles stream and will cut all subtitles that have been defined in the “language” dialog.

But what if you have a Linux desktop and don't want to leave your old Windows games behind? Recently I picked up a couple of Windows 98 to 7-era games on CD-ROM from a thrift store: Star Trek: Starfleet Command and Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor. While holding them felt nostalgic, I realized I wasn't sure how possible playing them on my now-preferred Linux desktop would be. It turned out with modern software it's actually pretty easy. * ⚓ Nexus_Mods_Vortex_Gets_Linux_Support_in_2026_Thanks_to_SteamOS⠀⇛ Nexus Mods has announced a significant shift in its development strategy for 2026. After a period of experimenting with a standalone “Nexus Mods App,” the team is pivoting back to its roots. The goal is to consolidate all recent innovations and design lessons directly into the existing Vortex manager. With over 1.4 million monthly users, Vortex remains the titan of the modding world, and this “modernisation” phase aims to make the software more responsive and accessible for everyone. * ⚓ Geeky Gadgets ☛ First_Steam_Machine_Accessories_Arrive_:_From_Glow Skins_to_Native_‘GeForce_NOW’_App_on_Ubuntu⠀⇛ What if your gaming setup could reflect not just your playstyle, but your personality? Deck Ready walks through how the latest Steam Machine accessories are transforming customization in gaming. From modular designs that allow seamless component swaps to glow-in-the-dark skins inspired by everything from graffiti to Halo, these accessories go beyond functionality, they’re a bold expression of individuality. With Valve at the forefront, the gaming world is entering a new era of personalization, offering players the chance to create setups as unique as the games they love. But is this shift a fleeting trend, or are we witnessing the future of gaming hardware? ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1083 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/26/Georgia_the_Country_Turns_to_GNU_Linux.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/26/Georgia_the_Country_Turns_to_GNU_Linux.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Georgia (the Country) Turns to GNU/ Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 26, 2026, updated Jan 26, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Desktop_Operating_System_Market_Share_Georgia⦈_ Last month we showed that GNU/Linux had apparently risen by quite a lot in Georgia the country (not the state) around the time support for Vista 10 ended.

This framework is genuinely something that Windows should've tried to copy, or even adopt as its own. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Love_it_or_hate_it,_Windows_8's_controversial_UI_just_landed_on Linux⠀⇛ Windows 8 was perhaps the most controversial release from Microsoft in recent decades. Some praised its UI, while others rejected a tiled-based interface on a desktop OS. The software giant did try to address some of the criticism with the release of Windows 8.1, but it didn't land very well, either. As a result, Windows 8 holds less than one percent market share worldwide, according to Statcounter's December 2025 data. However, its unique take on the desktop environment is something that people still talk about even today. I, for one, still love the idea of the full-screen Start menu with tiles and miss it. If you are like me and running Linux, you can get a seriously good taste of Windows 8 on your desktop. You can now recreate the Windows 8 vibe on your Linux desktop with the help of an open source project called Win8DE. * ⚓ XDA ☛ NixOS_finally_clicked_for_me_when_I_stopped_treating_it_like Ubuntu⠀⇛ I spent a long time approaching NixOS as just another Linux distro that needed a slightly different installer and a new package manager. I looked for the equivalent of apt install, tried to tweak things live, and expected my changes to “stick” the way they do on Ubuntu. That mindset made every small task feel harder than it needed to be. Once I accepted that NixOS wants me to describe my system rather than babysit it, the whole thing started to make sense. * ⚓ Distro Watch ☛ DistroWatch.com:_Put_the_fun_back_into_computing._Use Linux,_BSD.⠀⇛ [...] Finally, we say a heartfelt "thank you" to the kind souls who sent us donations this month.

While the mod platform has a native Windows application, called Vortex, the development team behind Nexus Mods recently confirmed in a 2026 development roster that, as part of an effort to modernize Vortex, the mod application, it will get support for the Valve Steam Deck and Steam Machine in 2026. The blog post announcing future Linux support explicitly states that Nexus Mods will only be focusing on "vanilla Steam hardware," and that it will not be officially supporting any other Linux distributions. Currently, Linux users have to download and manually install mods, the traditional way, usually by moving the mod files into the correct game library folders.

Some popular options include Taskwarrior, Taskbook, Todo.txt, and Todolist, to mention just a few. Unsurprisingly, installing a terminal to-do list on Linux was easy. For this experiment, I installed and experimented with Taskwarrior on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. I liked Taskwarrior because of how easy and readable its commands are. The first step was installing and setting it up, which was easy enough through these Ubuntu package manager commands.

Manjaro is designed to take Arch to new heights of user- friendliness, and it succeeds quite well. Of course, there are always those who believe everything can be improved, which is why a small team of developers decided to fork Manjaro and create Elegance. The beauty of Elegance isn't in the UI, although the developers have made Cinnamon look pretty good. What's really appealing (at least to me) is the collection of software that comes preinstalled. Before I get into that, it's important to know that Manjaro provides the core of the OS, the Cinnamon desktop, the package manager, and the basic software. Beyond that, everything is Elegance.

Fast forward to 2026, and the game refuses to start on modern distributions like Fedora 43. The symbols it depends on no longer exist. The fix is a small shim library that brings back the missing functions.

And while some of the early rc's were smaller than usual and it didn't seem necessary, right now I'm quite happy I made that call. Not because there's anything particularly scary here - the release seems to be going fairly smoothly - but because this rc7 really is larger than things normally are and should be at this point. Now, it's not *hugely* larger than normal, so it's not something that makes me worry, but it's just large enough that it makes me go "good that we have an extra week". Anyway, it all looks otherwise very normal. A bit over half is drivers (networking and gpu being most of it as usual, but there's a bit of everything in there), and the rest is the usual random mix: tooling, architecture fixes, VM, networking, rust driver base fixes, documentation, some filesystem work... So we have two more weeks to go, and apart from the different timing, nothing looks particularly odd or worrisome. Please keep testing, and let's hope things really do calm down now.

Desktop/Laptop⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 26, 2026 * ⚓ XDA ☛ Over_1,500,000_Windows_users_downloaded_this_Linux_distro_in under_three_months⠀⇛ Just under three months ago, Zorin OS 18 was released to the public. It's a Linux-based operating system that has a primary focus on making Windows users as comfortable as possible. This includes adding OneDrive functionality and even allowing users to change their desktop GUI to mirror that of Windows 10 or 11. It seems the strategy paid off, as, after just a month after release, 780,000 Windows users had downloaded Zorin OS 18. Of course, we had no way of knowing how many of those downloads lead to actual installs, let alone conversions. However, it was interesting to see that the interest in Linux was strong, at the very least. Fortunately, it appears as if that initial month wasn't just a passing fad. While the momentum has cooled a little bit, the devs have reported that the OS has accrued over 1.5 million Windows downloads in just under three months. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Thin-and-light_laptops_usually_make_terrible_Linux_machines⠀⇛ Thin-and-light laptops sound like a match made in heaven for Linux. They're incredibly efficient already, and when you combine that with an OS that's known to be light on its feet, you can see there's a lot of potential there. Unfortunately, thin-and-light machines are some of the worst PCs you can choose if you actually want a good Linux experience. It's not really the fault of Linux, but rather the design of these laptops, and their reliance on drivers and firmware that doesn't play nice with anything besides Windows. * ⚓ XDA ☛ 4_bad_Windows_habits_Linux_will_finally_help_you_break⠀⇛ It's pretty safe to say that for the vast majority of people living on the planet currently, Windows is the only computer operating system they've really ever known. That's not a bad thing; Windows and the general levels of abstraction we've introduced to computers over the decades is what has made them accessible to the masses. This is undoubtedly a good thing, but another thing this abstraction does is it removes a lot of the thinking for you. You don't have to worry about nearly as much when you're just interacting with a GUI, and the guardrails are in place as such so that one can't get themselves into too much trouble. The resulting "lazy" computing habits might not get you into trouble if you stay well within your means, but if you plan on trying to expand your knowledge or your workload turns more technical, it's worth trying to break these habits, and picking up Linux for a while can help immensely in doing just that. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ The_Apple_Mac_turned_42_this_weekend_—_we_are_still using_the_WIMP_GUI_WYSIWYG_computing_paradigm_in_2026⠀⇛ So, Apple may have popularized GUI-based computing in 1984, though everyone now talks about how derivative Mac OS was of prior work from Xerox PARC. It didn’t take very long for other GUI, mouse and keyboard rivals to appear. Both the Atari ST and Commodore Amiga would launch their (also) Motorola 68000 CPU powered computers in mid 1985. The CPU may have been the same, but the GUI OSes of these three MC68000 were so varied, as were the supporting chipsets. Then, in November 1985, Microsoft and IBM would introduce Windows 1.0 computers. Microsoft’s move to go all-in with GUI- based computing wouldn’t be seen for a full decade, with Windows 95, of course. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2009 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/26/Pop_OS_is_what_Ubuntu_should_have_been_for_gaming_PCs.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/26/Pop_OS_is_what_Ubuntu_should_have_been_for_gaming_PCs.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Pop!_OS is what Ubuntu should have been for gaming PCs⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 26, 2026 When using a PC to play games, you traditionally used Windows as the operating system. If you were a fan of Linux, this would consist of a dual-boot setup with a Linux distro as the primary OS and Windows as a secondary choice for gaming to enjoy maximum support. That's no longer the case, largely thanks to improved driver support in Linux and Proton from Valve. These days, one can use Linux as the primary OS for both work and play, and that is precisely how I have my gaming PC configured. But I switched to Pop!_OS for the best gaming experience. Ubuntu is often recommended as the go-to distro for beginners and veterans alike. It's stable, runs GNOME, looks great, and has excellent support from British-based Canonical. Pop!_OS is essentially Ubuntu with a fancy skin and a bunch of tweaks and other changes that make it much more polished for gaming experiences. That's not to say you can't set up Ubuntu (or any other Linux distro, for that matter) for gaming, especially with Steam, but Pop!_OS is the way to go if all you want to do is get up and running with your game library installed and ready to play.

While I've always seen the promise of it, in my experience it often led to codebases that were optimised to be easy to test, but not focussed on product outcomes. To be clear, for some codebases this is the correct outcome. If you're building highly critical software which has a highly defined use case (that doesn't change much), then optimising for this is the right call. Stability/reliability actually is the most important product outcome. * ⚓ Hugues ☛ Allowlist_for_.gitignore⠀⇛ To build an allowlist, we start by ignoring everything with / **/* and then selectively adding file extensions. For a Rust project, a naive .gitignore might look like this: [...] * ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ PkgFed:_ActivityPub_for_Package_Releases⠀⇛ This makes dependencies bidirectional. Right now, a lockfile points at packages, but packages don’t point back. Maintainers can see download counts but not who’s downloading. With repos as actors, packages can see their followers. The maintainer of serde could see every public project that depends on it, organized by forge, by organization, by whatever metadata the repos expose. That’s useful for prioritizing issues, understanding your user base, reaching out about breaking changes. * ⚓ MaskRay ☛ Long_branches_in_compilers,_assemblers,_and_linkers⠀⇛ This article explores how compilers, assemblers, and linkers work together to solve the long branch problem. • Compiler (IR to assembly): Handles branches within a function that exceed the range of conditional branch instructions • Assembler (assembly to relocatable file): Handles branches within a section where the distance is known at assembly time • Linker: Handles cross-section and cross-object branches discovered during final layout * ⚓ Digital Mars D ☛ Obvious_Things_C_Should_Do⠀⇛ Standard C undergoes regular improvements, now at C23. But there are baffling things that have not been fixed at all. The Dlang community embedded a C compiler in the D programming language compiler so it could compile C. This C compiler (aka ImportC) was built from scratch. It provided the opportunity to use modern compiler technology to fix those shortcomings. Why doesn’t Standard C fix them? * ⚓ Mark Seeman ☛ Two_regimes_of_Git⠀⇛ Git is such a versatile tool that when discussing it, interlocutors may often talk past each other. One person's use is so different from the way the next person uses it that every discussion is fraught with risk of misunderstandings. This happens to me a lot, because I use Git in two radically different ways, depending on context. Should you rebase? Merge? Squash? Cherry-pick? Often, being more explicit about a context can help address confusion. I know of at least two ways of using Git that differ so much from each other that I think we may term them two different regimes. The rules I follow in one regime don't all apply in the other, and vice versa. In this article I'll describe both regimes. * ⚓ Griffin Bank Ltd ☛ Is_It_Worth_It?⠀⇛ In a corporate setting, if you can improve an incident that affects one person, once per work day, and save one minute per event, it's worth spending up to four hours fixing that per person it affects. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Arne Sommer ☛ Uniquely_Constant_with_Raku⠀⇛ * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ 2026-01_Variable_Fonts_in_R_Graphics⠀⇛ This document describes the addition of support for variable fonts in R, when rendering glyphs, plus changes to the CRAN package xdvir to take advantage of that new support, when rendering LaTeX fragments. o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Fight_Data_Science_in_R:_Proven_Boxing_Metrics_&_Models⠀⇛ Boxing analysis is no longer just about punch totals or “who looked busier.” Modern fight analysis is data science: repeatable pipelines, validated data, explainable models, and performance indicators that translate into strategy. This post shows how to build a professional fight data science workflow in R—from raw data to metrics, modeling, and tactical insights—using code you can adapt to your own datasets. You’ll get: a production-style project structure, data contracts, validation checks, feature engineering patterns, round-by-round models, fatigue and momentum signals, and high-signal visualizations for coaches and analysts. The goal is to help you move from “interesting charts” to decision-grade analytics. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Nicolas Fränkel ☛ From_a_JAR_to_a_full-fledged_MacOS_app⠀⇛ A couple of years ago, I developed a small Kotlin GUI to help me rename my files in batch. I actually created it with different JVM frameworks to compare their relative merits. In any case, I didn’t use it up until last week. And then, I was surprised to see that it didn’t work to rename a network volume, although it had in the past. In this brief post, I aim to describe the issue and its solution. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2226 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/26/Proton_10_0_4_Released_with_Support_for_Drop_Dead_The_Cabin_Qua.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/26/Proton_10_0_4_Released_with_Support_for_Drop_Dead_The_Cabin_Qua.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Proton 10.0-4 Released with Support for Drop Dead: The Cabin, Quantum Threshold⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Jan 26, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Steam_Proton⦈_ Proton 10.0-4 adds support for new games, including Surgeon Simulator: Experience Reality, Changeling VR, Summoners War: RUSH, Quantum Threshold, REACH, Fellowship, Metal Slug: Awakening, The Obsessive Shadow, Drop Dead: The Cabin, Zero Caliber 2 Remastered, and Lost Memories 3 Side Stories.

In fact, I daresay it’s the best way to start your descent into the home server rabbit hole, as Proxmox has a plethora of first-party manuals, community-created guides, and documentation to help you deploy essential virtual machines and containers. But considering that home labs are meant to be experimentation environments where you learn by breaking things, you’re bound to make a few mistakes along the way. Heck, I still end up with the occasional botched experiment even after spending years with my ever-evolving Proxmox servers. So, I’ve compiled a collection of common pitfalls you could encounter during your early Proxmox days. * ⚓ XDA ☛ These_4_Proxmox_mods_made_my_PVE_web_UI_so_much_better⠀⇛ Considering that Proxmox is essentially a bunch of virtualization tools and a web interface slapped onto a minimal Debian setup, you’ve got a platform that you can customize to your heart’s content. And with the talented tinkering community creating ultra-useful scripts, packages, and tools for Proxmox, you’ve got a lot of options for tweaking your PVE instance to match your specific tasks. Better yet, there are a handful of packages that add new features to the web interface. Now, Proxmox's native web GUI is fairly intuitive, but I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that it’s lacking certain monitoring and management facilities. Luckily, most of these can be restored by certain mods – and here are the ones I install on all my machines. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2343 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/26/Raspberry_Pi_OS_alternative_DietPi_just_got_a_big_update.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/26/Raspberry_Pi_OS_alternative_DietPi_just_got_a_big_update.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Raspberry Pi OS alternative DietPi just got a big update⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jan 26, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇DietPi⦈_ Quoting: Raspberry Pi OS alternative DietPi just got a big update — DietPi is a popular Linux distribution for Raspberry Pi computers and other single-board computers. There's a new major release out this week, though it comes with some bad news for systems that can't be updated to Debian 12 or later versions. DietPi is sticking to its goal of a thin-and-light server platform, with some built-in tools for configuring and backing up your system. The "DietPi-Software" library can help you install and set up any tools you need, like Docker, Plex, and Syncthing, in addition to the usual packages available from Debian's repositories. It's also still available as an install script for existing devices running Debian, in addition to operating system images for devices from Raspberry Pi, NanoPi, Orange Pi, PINE64, and others. This release adds ownCloud Infinite Scale to the DietPi-Software library, which can be used for hosting cloud storage and web office applications. It's replacing the standard version of ownCloud, which does not support PHP 8.x (the version in Debian 12 and 13) and now only receives occasional updates. Migrating from ownCloud to Nextcloud is also possible, if you want to try that.

Live Raizo also includes tools to interact with real devices, such as minicom, Putty, Wireshark, as well as DHCP, DNS, FTP, TFTP and SSH servers.

However, I spent more time with MySQL than either the data transfer or the MySQL upgrade itself. Today, that should go faster because I already know the fix and have saved the password updates. Today, I’m going to try again, and hopefully this time will be the last time. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Printing_things_in_colour_is_not_simple⠀⇛ Where this stops being just a print driver issue is that people editing photographs often want to see roughly how they'll look when printed out without actually making a print (which is generally moderately expensive). This requires the print subsystem to be capable of feeding colour mapping results back to the editing layer, so you can see that certain things need to be different at the RGB colour level so that they come out well in the printed photograph. This is of course all an approximation, but at the very least photo editing software like darktable wants to be able to warn you when you're creating an 'out of gamut' colour that can't be accurately printed. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2514 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/26/Review_Setting_up_a_home_server.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/26/Review_Setting_up_a_home_server.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Review: Setting up a home server⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jan 26, 2026 Quoting: DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD. — The documentation is first rate. I know this because I've had to install it more than once. The app is maintained and updated almost ferociously, and I've rarely seen bugs or odd behavior. It just works, and in a way Plex, my first media server app, never quite did. There's a bash script for installation for Debian-based distros that includes dependencies and sets up updates, as well as a Flatpak and detailed instructions for RPM-based distros. The bash script opens a setup wizard (be sure to use the dedicated URL, with ":8096" at the end, and not "localhost" here, too) that walks you through the process. The only real problem is granting permission for Jellyfin to access media files. This is one of the few areas where the documentation lags, offering several complicated command line options. It's easier to right click on the respective media folders, choose the Permissions tab, and grant read/write access to "Others." Best practice calls for putting the various media folders into a new Media folder, but I've always used the standard layout without problems. That's it. Really. So the next time you want to show off your latest dog videos, know they're as close as the Linux budget home server.

At one point he was asked about the events that led up to his resignation at FSF and MIT, which he fielded gracefully and called a misunderstanding. Truthfully, it looks as if Stallman’s exile is over and the public is generally willing to accept that Stallman was largely pushed from public life by ill conceived and misunderstood statements by Stallman. Through the grapevine, I’m hearing that we’re likely to see more from Stallman in the future. I’m sure that will be to the chagrin of some and the delight of others.

If you want to "Sudo make me a sandwich" then Linux will make you that sandwich even if it's an abomination like anchovies and Nutella. On a modern Windows system, when you try to change and configure something, there's a better than even chance that, at some point, Windows (and by extension, Microsoft) will simply undo what you've done. It's a major reason Windows doesn't feel like it belongs to me anymore. You don't have any real agency. When not even an esoteric registry hack you're forced to do because a feature has been removed or an update makes it so your computer doesn't want to work correctly anymore won't stick, then what more can you do?

Fine. That's still their project (or projects). If Linux and Git were created someone who is harsh on bad coders, so be it... such is life. You're not guaranteed a "Safe Space" from criticism. Right now it seems_like_people_prematurely_plan_for_Torvalds_perishing. When Stallman was about the same age as Torvalds we_saw_vultures_circling_around_him as_well (based on distortion_of_what_he_had_said). GNU/Linux (both) will thankfully be run by their founders the rest of this year; maybe the coming decade, too. Those looking to disrupt them are jealous opportunists, or worse, corporate actors (which is what Stallman compared Rust boosters to last week; he said they were anti-copyright/copyleft because corporate types from GAFAM want this; he named Apple and Google). Anyone can watch the_whole_video_of_Stallman's_talk_using_a_free_format. Feel free to share it; sharing is good. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Texas_Jack ⠀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣥⣤⣤⣤⣤⣬⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣬⣥⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣬⣤⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣥⣭⣥⣤⣌⡉⠈⢽ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣧⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⢎ ⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢏⠭⡹⠡⠘⠁⠞⢹⣿⠇⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠰ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣾⣧⠋⣼⣤⣾⣵⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣰⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠸ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠅⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠈⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⡆⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⣿⣟⣟⣛⣟⣛⣟⣿⠿⡄⢁⡈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢻⢟⣛⠿⠿⣿⡿⡿⠿⡻⣿⠻⢿⠿⠉⡥⠛⠛⠉⢺⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⢸⢿⡿⢧⢸⡂⣾⡿⢿⠿⠛⢃⠙⠀⠀⢋⣉⡇⠀⢿⠉⣿⣿⣧⠏⠉⠉⠈⣩⡍⠀⠁⢻⠁⠈⡐⠺⣦⡟⣿⣾⣷⡴⢜⠁⢀⣿⣮⠁⠀⠀⠠⠀⠜⢢⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⠶⣾⠇⡖⢶⡆⢖⡀⣂⠐⠘⠳⠒⠀⠂⠀⠀⠈⠁⠈⠁⣿⣿⠃⠀⡊⠀⠉⣪⣶⣶⣶⣿⣧⣤⣌⡋⣿⣭⢳⣿⡏⠁⠤⠴⣦⢊⠁⠀⢀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠘⢻⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⢿⣿⣿⣀⣁⣀⣀⣀⡀⣀⣀⣀⡄⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠉⠨⠟⠏⠉⠉⠁⠀⠐⠈⠈⠹⠟⣻⡿⢯⣄⠹⣿⣿⣾⡶⠳⠔⣾⠇⡟⠡⡀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⢠⠠⣾⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠸⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣧⣀⣀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠋⢀⠀⠉⠡⠀⢹⡯⠁⠀⢠⡄⢠⠀⠡⠀⠀⢀⢸⡀⠀⠀⢸⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢈⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⠏⣖⣼⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣵⢀⡄⠀⣿⡀⠐⢠⣖⣦⢀⠇⢠⠃⣆⠰⠖⠂⠀⠶⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣴⣶⣶⣶⣾⣦⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠈⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢰⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣡⣧⣴⣦⠄⠀⠀⡙⢿⣀⠙⠚⢸⠋⣄⠙⢷⣿⣷⡌⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠮⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⣾⣿⣿⣿⠏⣠⡆⠀⢸⡆⠹⠖⠁⠏⢸⣻⠆⠈⢻⣿⣿⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⡟⢰⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠇⠸⠿⠛⠟⠁⠴⢿⡧⠀⡀⣿⡀⡀⠂⠀⠐⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⡟⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣭⣤⣤⣤⣄⢎⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡀⢀⢒⣀⠀⠀⠉⠃⠀⠀⠑⠹⠄⠠⡚⣆⡈⠿⠭⡿⠟⢡⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⣽⣷⣄⠙⠛⣲⣟⣀⣬⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡁ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠂ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣟⢒⡼⢿⡿⡿⣿⠟⢿⡟⢻⣿⡿⠟⡜⣵⠟⢻⡿⡛⠟⡁⣈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣥⣚⣠⣏⣥⣨⣅⣤⣎⣥⣿⡿⠤⢁⣶⣦⣶⣿⣶⣷⣼⣷⣾⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠰⢀⣙⣛⣛⣛⣟⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⢛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⡛⢛⣛⣛⣛⠛⢁⠐⠛⡛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⣋⣛⣋⣀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2763 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/26/The_latest_Linux_distro_to_embrace_Wayland_also_makes_Arch_more.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/26/The_latest_Linux_distro_to_embrace_Wayland_also_makes_Arch_more.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ The latest Linux distro to embrace Wayland also makes Arch more accessible⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jan 26, 2026 Quoting: The latest Linux distro to embrace Wayland also makes Arch more accessible | ZDNET — Every time I've used and reviewed CachyOS, I've come away impressed.

into an immutable Fedora base | ZDNET — Origami Linux was conceived in 2021, which makes it relatively new for an operating system. The goal behind this distribution was to create something beautiful and secure. To achieve that, the developer decided to take the COSMIC desktop and marry it with an immutable Fedora base. That's not all. You could also opt for an Arch base that includes the CachyOS kernel, or a version created specifically for NVIDIA GPUs. The name Origami seems apropos, given that this operating system can "unfold" into various incarnations. I gave Origami Linux a go to see what was what, and here's my take.

Use Of ☛ 5_commands_to_quickly_fix_broken_packages_in_Linux⠀⇛ Most Linux users encounter broken packages eventually. An interrupted update, a failed install, or a dependency that wandered off into the woods are all issues that contribute to broken packages. While it's sometimes possible to use a Linux graphical interface such as Synaptic to fix many problems, I go to terminal commands first. Let’s start where most people live: Debian derivatives such as Linux Mint, Ubuntu, and Pop!_OS. This is the environment I’m most comfortable using and what I'll focus on. I’ve dabbled in other Linux infrastructures, so I’ll add a quick run-through for the largest ones at the end. * ⚓ XDA ☛ These_7_terminal_tools_help_me_find_anything_fast⠀⇛ As of today, you can do almost everything on Linux through a graphical interface. You can install applications from an app center, change system settings, and search for files using a file manager, all without touching the terminal. For most users, this is more than enough. However, throughout my Linux journey, I learned that some tasks become much faster when done through the terminal. It can significantly speed up your workflow and save a lot of time. One such task is searching for files or text using terminal- based tools, which are often quicker, more precise, and more powerful than their GUI alternatives. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ I_automated_Linux_backups_with_a_simple_bash_script_and cron_(and_it’s_better_than_a_GUI)⠀⇛ A tool like Déjà Dup is an easy and excellent graphical way to automate Linux backups. However, creating a backup script is the superior, DIY way to automate backups. It offers way more control over what gets backed up, where the data gets backed up, and the frequency of backup jobs. It’s also a fun introduction to basic scripting. Here’s how I created a simple backup script and used cron to automate backup jobs. As long as you edit and update the script with your absolute paths, your backup location can be a local folder, a new disk partition, or an external drive. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Windows_networking_commands_in_Linux:_5_equivalents_you should_know_(plus_WSL_tricks)⠀⇛ Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents: If you've used networking commands on Windows, such as ping and tracert, you might wonder if you can use them on Linux, whether on its own or part of WSL. Fortunately, you can. § ping I remember sitting in a computer networking class in college when the instructor demonstrated the use of the ping command in the Windows Command Prompt. It was the beginning of a lifelong relationship, even if it's crossed operating systems and came back full circle with WSL. The simplest way to use ping in the Linux and WSL command line is to use ping followed by an IP address or domain name. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ SSH_Over_USB_On_A_Raspberry_Pi⠀⇛ Setting up access to a headless Raspberry Pi is one of those tasks that should take a few minutes, but for some reason always seems to take much longer. The most common method is to configure Wi-Fi access and an SSH service on the Pi before starting it, which can go wrong in many different ways. This author, for example, recently spent a few hours failing to set up a headless Pi on a network secured with Protected EAP, and was eventually driven to using SSH over Bluetooth. This could thankfully soon be a thing of the past, as [Paul Oberosler] developed a package for SSH over USB, which is included in the latest versions of Raspberry Pi OS. * ⚓ Michael Kjörling ☛ Detecting_whether_a_Linux_system_is_connected_to_a specific_network_—_Michael_Kjörling⠀⇛ Every once in a while itʼs useful to programmatically do things differently depending on what network a system is connected to. For WiFi, this is less of a problem, especially if you can assume that the network is not actively hostile specifically against you; "just" check the BSSID of the connected-to network. However, on wired networks, things are a little less straight- forward since there is no clear and unambiguous "network identifier" in that case. Basically, how to tell one 192.168.1.0/24 network apart from another 192.168.1.0/24 network? * ⚓ Christian Hofstede-Kuhn ☛ Integrating_FreeBSD_15_with_FreeIPA:_Native Kerberos_and_LDAP_Authentication⠀⇛ Most FreeIPA documentation assumes you’re running Linux and will use ipa-client-install to join hosts to the realm. FreeBSD doesn’t have this luxury. There’s no official IPA client, and the enrollment scripts expect systemd and other Linux-specific components. But that’s not necessarily a disadvantage. FreeBSD’s native Kerberos implementation and the lightweight nslcd daemon provide everything needed to integrate with FreeIPA cleanly. The result is arguably more elegant than the Linux approach: pure GSSAPI authentication via SSH, LDAP-backed identity lookups, and zero local user management. No SSSD, no realm daemon, no complexity. This guide details integrating a FreeBSD 15.0 host into a Red Hat Identity Management (IdM) or FreeIPA realm using only native FreeBSD components. * ⚓ [Old] Mark Seeman ☛ Visitor_as_a_sum_type⠀⇛ Sum types (also known as discriminated unions), on the other hand, are types that express mutually exclusive alternatives. Object-oriented programmers might mistake such a statement for sub-classing, but the difference is that object-oriented sub- classing creates a potentially infinite hierarchy of subtypes, while a sum type is statically constrained to a finite number of mutually exclusive cases. This is often useful. In this article, you'll see that a sum type is isomorphic to a corresponding Visitor. * ⚓ Arseny ☛ MikroTik:_First_Look_and_Getting_Started⠀⇛ I had been thinking about trying MikroTik for a long time, but I was always a bit too lazy to delve into RouterOS. Finally, riding the wave of the Home NAS project setup (see the beginning in FreeBSD: Home NAS, part 1 – setting up ZFS mirror), I decided it was time to upgrade my network stack and replace a simple TP-Link Archer router with something more interesting. That is how I ended up with two MikroTik routers: RB4011iGS+RM as the main router and MikroTik hAP ax3 for WiFi. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3524 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/26/TROMjaro_2026_01_13_Unity_is_back_as_Default.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/01/26/TROMjaro_2026_01_13_Unity_is_back_as_Default.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ TROMjaro 2026.01.13 (Unity is back as Default!)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 26, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇TROMjaro⦈_ 2026 brings something new but also old to TROMjaro: The Unity Layout style is back because we managed to fix an annoying thing with it. Let me explain. When I first discovered Linux I fell in love with Ubuntu’s Unity. A desktop that had the apps icons on the left bar, then a thinner top bar with useful info and tray icons: [...] If you maximized an app, the app’s menu and window buttons were part of the top main bar, and this maximized the space for any maximized app :slight_smile: . Lovely! On top of this (pun intended) you could search through an app’s menu to quickly access its settings and options. Again made so much sense. I can quickly search through huge menus for whatever I quickly needed. [...] When I released TROMjaro with XFCE I realized that I can simulate the Unity Layout since XFCE is so damn easy to customize. Right click and add stuff to panels, move them, rearrange…so insanely cool. But there were issues with integrating the Gnome apps into it since these bloody apps do not have a proper top bar.

Users who get long-term value should participate more in funding open source maintenance work. While some donation platforms like GitHub Sponsors, OpenCollective and the like have gained popularity in recent years, none of them seem to generate recurring revenue comparable to the scale of how popular open source software is now in 2026. I welcome more paid schemes, such as Ubuntu Pro, as I believe it is beneficial for the whole ecosystem. I also expect more service providers to enter this space and experiment with different open source business models and various forms of decentralized funding. Linux and open source are primarily free as in speech, but as a side effect license fees are hard to enforce and many use Linux without paying for it. The more people, corporations and even countries rely on it to stay sovereign in the information society, the more users should think about how they want to use Linux and who they want to pay to maintain it and other critical parts of the open source ecosystem.

There was a trial regarding the identify of who did (or didn't) do_horrible_things_to_my_wife. The Judge accepted that horrible_things_had_been_done_to_my_wife. It was well documented in our lawsuits [1, 2]. The only question was, who did that? The other side 'recruited'_a_serial_strangler_of_women (on Microsoft's payroll) to drain our legal budget, so we were prevented from presenting evidence or calling witnesses. After the trial the hired_guns (sued by their own clients [1, 2, 3]) had the audacity to threaten my wife with prison despite following the_orders_in_full. This is how lawfare and SLAPPs work in the UK. We_urgently_need_a_serious reform. This is work_in_progress, as noted last_week. █ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇PRs_need_to_stop_being_complicit_in_suppression_of information_via_SLAPPs⦈_

The issue affects Windows 11 version 25H2 and all editions of Windows 11 version 24H2 after installing the KB5074109 cumulative update released as part of this month's updates. According to Microsoft, some customers have reported that their systems fail to start and display a stop error during boot.

The tides are slowly but surely turning. While the Steam Machine could end up seeing a delay thanks to the ongoing RAM crisis, it’’ offer a PC-like experience that would be shorn of the cruft that Copilot has introduced. Microsoft keeps chasing the dream of AI, but it’s done so at the cost of many of Windows’ core pillars - including stability. Gamers are noticing, too. Anecdotally, more adventurous enthusiasts are starting to dual-boot into Linux, or even remove Windows entirely. Developers and publishers have done some of the heavy lifting already to get games onto SteamOS, and now even storefronts are having their say. “I'm really surprised at Windows. It's such poor-quality software and product, and I'm so surprised that it's [spent] so many years on the market. I can't believe it!” Michał Kiciński, the new owner of storefront GOG.com explained to PC Gamer.
