The terminal was not judging me, but it was absolutely keeping receipts. That output made something uncomfortably obvious. I was not being disciplined. I was compensating.

Apple designs macOS updates and adds more and more features with newer hardware in mind. Over time, this leads to slower performance on older devices due to increased resource demands. Linux distributions, like Ubuntu or Xubuntu, are built to run efficiently on a wide range of hardware, including older machines. They use less RAM and CPU, don’t have the overhead of many background services, and are modular, allowing you to strip down unnecessary components for improved performance. Keep in mind that you don't have to use Ubuntu, there are plenty of lightweight Linux distributions to choose from. Theoretically, you should be able to run any Linux distro on your old Mac's Intel-based hardware. But, Ubuntu is easy to use and well documented, which makes it one of the best Linux distributions around.

Read_on Also: * ⚓ Linux_Mint_may_make_fewer_releases_a_year⠀⇛ Project leader Clement Lefebvre thinks moving to a longer development cycle would allow the team to spend more time developing features, rather than fixing and testing to meet its current deadlines. If it does switch to a more ‘when it’s ready’ model, it will likely affect the release of Linux Mint 23 later this year – an end to the traditional biannual release cadence for its main edition, and its work on the Linux Mind Debian Edition (LMDE). For fixed-schedule Linux distributions like Ubuntu, a predictable release cadence helps to focus engineering priorities. It also give users stability, knowing major changes won’t appear out of thin air. How-To Geek: * ⚓ Linux_Mint_might_overhaul_its_release_schedule⠀⇛ Linux Mint has been a popular Linux distribution based on Ubuntu and Debian for years, with new versions coming (roughly) every six months. That might change in the future, though. The Linux Mint team is considering a longer development cycle for each update, which would mean less frequent releases. A new blog post from the team explained, "Releasing often is important because it means we get a lot of feedback and bug reports when we introduce changes. […] But it takes a lot of time, and it caps our ambition when it comes to development. With a release every six months plus LMDE, we spend more time testing, fixing, and releasing than developing." Linux Mint's current update schedule is typical for a fixed- release Linux distribution. Ubuntu and Fedora also ship new versions every six months, and Debian releases and long-term support (LTS) versions of Ubuntu arrive every two years. Linux Mint currently uses Ubuntu LTS as its foundation, except for the Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE), which uses Debian. XDA: * ⚓ Linux_Mint_may_publish_fewer_updates_a_year,_but_that's_not_necessarily a_bad_thing⠀⇛ Linux distros come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, and there is no "strictly better" distro out there. It all comes down to what you want from your OS and how you want it to act. For instance, I adore how Fedora introduces updates at a rapid rate, but other people will want their OS to take things easy and not cram in new features until it has undergone rigorous testing. Linux Mint was already not particularly fast with updates, but the developers are deciding to lengthen the time between checkpoints. And while that may sound like a bad thing on the surface, it seems like it'll benefit the operating system in the long run. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⡖⢲⠲⠶⠖⠶⠶⡆⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⡆⠀ ⠀⠓⠚⠒⠚⠛⠓⠓⠃⣿⣿⣀⣀⣈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠂⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠷⠦⠤⠠⠄⠶⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠂⠠⠤⠤⠾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡶⠶⠶⠶⠶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠦⠤⠄⠴⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⠒⠒⢲⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⠖⠒⣢⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡶⠒⢲⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡶⠒⠒⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠙⣋⢉⣉⠉⠙⠙⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠉⠉⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡉⠁⠀⠈⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣅⣉⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1074 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/12/LWN_on_Kernel_Rust_and_Sigil.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/12/LWN_on_Kernel_Rust_and_Sigil.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ LWN on Kernel, Rust, and Sigil⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 12, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Almeida⦈_ § Kernel Space / File Systems / Virtualization⠀➾ * ⚓ LWN ☛ Sub-schedulers_for_sched_ext⠀⇛ The extensible scheduler class (sched_ext) allows the installation of a custom CPU scheduler built as a set of BPF programs. Its merging for the 6.12 kernel release moved the kernel away from the "one scheduler fits all" approach that had been taken until then; now any system can have its own scheduler optimized for its workloads. Within any given machine, though, it's still "one scheduler fits all"; only one scheduler can be loaded for the system as a whole. The sched_ext sub-scheduler patch series from Tejun Heo aims to change that situation by allowing multiple CPU schedulers to run on a single system. Sched_ext was built around the idea that no scheduler can be optimized for every possible workload that it may encounter. The sub-scheduler work extends that idea by saying that no scheduler — even a sched_ext scheduler — can be prepared to obtain optimal performance from every workload that a given system may run. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Modernizing_swapping:_introducing_the_swap_table⠀⇛ The kernel's swap subsystem is a complex and often unloved beast. It is also a critical component in the memory-management subsystem and has a significant impact on the performance of the system as a whole. At the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management and BPF Summit, Kairui Song outlined a plan to simplify and optimize the kernel's swap code. A first installment of that work, written with help from Chris Li, was merged for the 6.18 release. This article will catch up with the 6.18 work, setting the stage for a future look at the changes that are yet to be merged. In a virtual-memory system, memory shortages must be addressed by reclaiming RAM and, if necessary, writing its contents to the appropriate persistent backing store. For file-backed memory, the file itself is that backing store. Anonymous memory — the memory that holds the variables and data structures used by a process — lacks that natural backing store, though. That is where the swap subsystem comes in: it provides a place to write anonymous pages when the memory they occupy is needed for other uses. Swapping allows unused (or seldom-used) pages to be pushed out to slower storage, making the system's RAM available for data that is currently in use. * ⚓ LWN ☛ API_changes_for_the_futex_robust_list⠀⇛ The robust futex kernel API is a way for a user-space program to ensure that the locks it holds are properly cleaned up when it exits. But the API suffers from a number of different problems, as André Almeida described in a session in the "Gaming on Linux" microconference at the 2025 Linux Plumbers Conference in Tokyo. He had some ideas for a new API that would solve many of those problems, which he wanted to discuss with attendees; there is a difficult-to-trigger race condition that he wanted to talk about too. ""Some years ago, I made a new API for futex"", Almeida said to start things off, ""so why not do a new API for robust list as well?"" The new futex API that he was referring to was merged for 5.16 in 2022 in the form of the futex_waitv() system call (documentation). Some further pieces of the futex2 API were released with Linux 6.7 in 2024. * ⚓ LWN ☛ The_future_for_Tyr⠀⇛ The team behind Tyr started 2025 with little to show in our quest to produce a Rust GPU driver for Arm Mali hardware, and by the end of the year, we were able to play SuperTuxKart (a 3D open-source racing game) at the Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC). Our prototype was a joint effort between Arm, Collabora, and Google; it ran well for the duration of the event, and the performance was more than adequate for players. Thankfully, we picked up steam at precisely the right moment: Dave Airlie just announced in the Maintainers Summit that the DRM subsystem is only ""about a year away"" from disallowing new drivers written in C and requiring the use of Rust. Now it is time to lay out a possible roadmap for 2026 in order to upstream all of this work. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ Compiling_Rust_to_readable_C_with_Eurydice⠀⇛ A few years ago, the only way to compile Rust code was using the rustc compiler with LLVM as a backend. Since then, several projects, including Mutabah's Rust Compiler (mrustc), GCC's Rust support (gccrs), rust_codegen_gcc, and Cranelift have made enormous progress on diversifying Rust's compiler implementations. The most recent such project, Eurydice, has a more ambitious goal: converting Rust code to clean C code. This is especially useful in high-assurance software, where existing verification and compliance tools expect C. Until such tools can be updated to work with Rust, Eurydice could provide a smoother transition for these projects, as well as a stepping-stone for environments that have a C compiler but no working Rust compiler. Eurydice has been used to compile some post-quantum-cryptography routines from Rust to C, for example. Eurydice was started in 2023, and includes some code under the MIT license and some under the Apache-2.0 license. It's part of the Aeneas project, which works to develop several different tools related to applying formal verification tools to Rust code. The various Aeneas projects are maintained by a group of people employed by Inria (France's national computer-science- research institution) and Microsoft, but they do accept outside contributions. * § Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ Sigil_simplifies_creating_and_editing_EPUBs⠀⇛ Creating an ebook in EPUB format is easy, for certain values of "easy". All one really needs is a text editor, a few command-line utilities; also needed is a working knowledge of XHTML, CSS, along with an understanding of the format's structure and required boilerplate. Creating a well-formatted and attractive ebook is a bit harder. However, it can be made easier with an application custom-made for the purpose. Sigil is an EPUB editor that provides the tooling authors and publishers may be looking for. [...] Sigil is basically a one-stop shop for creating and working with publications in EPUB format; it supports both the EPUB 2 and EPUB 3 standards. Users will generally not want to create new publications using EPUB 2, since it was superseded by EPUB 3 in 2011, but version 2 support may be useful when working with legacy publications or creating ebooks for people who may not have up-to-date ebook readers. It is a multi-platform desktop application that uses the Qt 6 framework and is written primarily in C++, with a fair amount of C and Python as well. The GPLv3-licensed project got its start in 2009, when Strahinja Marković began working on it as part of his computer science course work. Since then, Sigil has had a few periods of inactivity, one of which led to Kovid Goyal to create an ebook editor for the Calibre project in 2013, when it appeared that Sigil had gone dormant for good. Work on Sigil resumed in 2014 when Kevin Hendricks and Doug Massay took over maintenance of the project, which is hosted on GitHub. The pair have continued to work on Sigil since then; the project is actively maintained and has published eight releases over the course of 2025. The application is fairly mature at this point, so most of the work consists of minor new features, bug fixes, and updates to keep up with changing dependencies. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣤⣦⣤⣄⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⢠⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣁⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣹⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠶⠿⠿⠟⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣏⠀⣀⣤⣴⠶⢿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣀⠀⣨⣶⡆⠒⠀⢀⡀⠀⣼⣿⡟⣛⡃⠀⣠⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠁⢠⡄⠐⠀⢀⣶⣤⣾⣶⡛⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⡎⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⣛⣛⣛⣋⣻⣿⡂⢀⣴⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡆⣖⠀⠀⠀⣶⣾⢿⣿⣶⣄⡀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣃⣽⠀⡀⣠⣿⣁⣴⣮⡻⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣦⠈⣿⣿⠀⢘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡷⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⢠⣿⣿⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣀⡄⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⠀⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠉⠉⠙⠛⠛⠉⠀⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠈⣿⣿⠶⢿⣿⣶⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⡤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣽⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⢰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠈⣿⣿⠆⠼⢻⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⠟⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⢸⡇⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⠁⠀⢈⠃⠀⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⣦⣤⣤⣦⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠠⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠘⡇⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠀⠀⠀⠷⠀⣹⠀⠹⢿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠀⠀⢠⣶⠾⠟⠛⠛⠿⠿⠟⠉⣙⣿⣛⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠓⠀⠘⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠾⠀⠀⠀⠊⠀⢿⠀⠀⠀⠈⢉⠍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⢀⣉⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⣸⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⢿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⡀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⣰⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠋⠉⠙⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⢀⣷⣀⡀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣷⣶⣤⣄⣀⣀⣀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⡀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠉⠉⠛⠉⣉⣭⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⡟⠋⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠁⠀⠛⠛⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⠿⠋⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1326 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/12/Microsoft_Attack_Dogs_Operatives_Try_to_Put_the_Operators_of_Te.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/12/Microsoft_Attack_Dogs_Operatives_Try_to_Put_the_Operators_of_Te.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Microsoft Attack Dogs/Operatives Try to Put the Operators of Techrights and of Tux Machines in Prison⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 12, 2026, updated Feb 12, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇The_Torture_of_the_Man_by_the_Dog⦈_ Crossposted_from_Techrights We are exposing serious_corruption every week and maintain 100% source/leaker/ whistleblower protection record after 20 years 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Jimmy_Lai⦈_ Yesterday we published_post/page_#14684_in_"New_Techrights", 42 days after this year's_first_(#13769).

Support.Mozilla.Org:_What’s_up_with_SUMO_–_H2_2025⠀⇛ Hi everyone, We may already be a few weeks into 2026, but it’s never too late to say Happy New Year! As we dive into the year ahead, we also want to take a moment to reflect on everything we accomplished together in the second half of 2025. * ⚓ Thunderbird ☛ Thunderbird_Blog:_Thunderbird_Monthly_Development_Digest: February_2026⠀⇛ Welcome back to the Thunderbird blog and the first post of 2026! We’re rested, recharged, and ready to keep our community updated on all of our progress on the desktop and mobile clients and with Thunderbird Pro! Hello again from the Thunderbird development team! After a restful and reflective break over the December holidays, the team returned recharged and ready to take on the mountain of priorities ahead. To everyone we met during the recent FOSDEM weekend, thank you! The conversations, encouragement, and thoughtful feedback you shared were genuinely energizing, and many of your insights are already helping us better understand the real-world challenges you’re facing. The timing couldn’t have been better, as FOSDEM provided a strong early-year boost of inspiration, collaboration, and perspective. * ⚓ Dave_Townsend:_Can't_you_do_this_faster_with_AI?⠀⇛ I’m hearing this question asked a lot lately. Both within Mozilla and from others in the industry. You come up with a plan for implementing some feature, put your best estimate on how long it will take to implement, and then you get push back from folks several levels removed from the project along the lines of “Wouldn’t this be faster if you used AI?”, or “Can’t Claude Code do most of this?”. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1529 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/12/Open_Hardware_Modding_ESP32_KiCad_postmarketOS_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/12/Open_Hardware_Modding_ESP32_KiCad_postmarketOS_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: ESP32, KiCad, postmarketOS, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 12, 2026 * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ ESP32_Marauder_5G_–_Apex_5_module_for_Flipper_Zero combines_ESP32-C5,_two_Sub-GHz_radios,_nRF24,_and_GPS⠀⇛ Designed by HoneyHoneyTrading, the ESP32 Marauder 5G – Apex 5 Module is an ESP32-C5-based hacking and penetration testing tool for the Flipper Zero, with dual-band WiFi 6 (2.4GHz and 5GHz), two Sub-GHz radios (868MHz and 433MHz), an NRF24 radio, and a built-in GPS. This new Flipper Zero module can be considered an upgrade from the ESP32 Marauder – Double Barrel 5G, as it does not rely on a dual-chip configuration for 5 GHz operation, leveraging the ESP32-C5 dual-band capabilities instead. A microSD card slot handles storage, and the device can also save data directly to the Flipper Zero’s microSD card. It also features five antennas, including WiFi, Sub-GHz, nRF24, and GPS, along with dedicated LED indicators for the Sub-GHz radios and nRF24 activity. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ PiLink_PL-R5/R5M_Series_–_IP20/IP65_Industrial_PCs powered_by_Raspberry_Pi_CM5⠀⇛ Made by Japan-based PiLink, the PL-R5 and PL-R5M Series are compact industrial PCs powered by a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5) and offered with either IP20 or IP65 ingress protection rating. The PL-R5 Series provides one USB 3.0 port, one Gigabit Ethernet port, and 9V to 40V DC input, while the PL-R5M Series offers one USB 2.0 port, one 100 Mbps Ethernet port, an optional extra Gigabit Ethernet port, and a 10.7V to 28.8V DC input range. Both include optional WiFi 5 and Bluetooth, an M.2 B-Key socket for cellular, optional RS-232, RS-485, I2C interfaces, and more. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Open_Stack_standalone_4G_LTE_IoT_board_runs_RTOS_on Quectel_EC200U_LTE_module_(Crowdfunding)⠀⇛ Open Stack is a standalone 4G LTE IoT connectivity board designed to run RTOS-based C applications directly on the Quectel EC200U series LTE module, meaning you don’t need an external MCU like Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi. By removing the MCU, the board reduces power consumption, bill-of-materials (BOM) cost, and physical footprint. The board supports multi- band LTE with GSM fallback, GNSS, and Bluetooth 4.2, as well as IPv4/IPv6 client and server modes. * ⚓ TechRadar ☛ The_InkPad_One_is_a_new_Linux-powered_rival_to_the_Kindle Scribe⠀⇛ Kindle and Kobo might be the main ereader brands, but there are all sorts of interesting alternatives popping up, one of which being PocketBook, which has just launched a new device called the InkPad One. This is a 10.3-inch ereader with a grayscale E Ink Mobius display that has 226 pixels per inch. It has a front light that adapts to the environment, a 3,700mAh battery promising up to two months of life, 32GB of storage, 2GB of RAM, and a 1.8GHz quad-core chipset. It’s also slim and light, at 5.15mm thick and 400g. Interestingly, it runs Linux rather than Android or a proprietary operating system, so you’re not locked in to a specific ecosystem, and it supports 21 book formats, including AZW, EPUB, PDF, MOBI, and many more. * ⚓ Hackster ☛ KiCad_Aims_to_Ease_Linux_Installation,_Moves_to_Self- Contained_AppImage_Distribution⠀⇛ The KiCad project has announced it is making the Linux version of its popular open source electronic design automation (EDA) software available as an all-in-one cross-distribution AppImage for the first time, and is inviting feedback. "KiCad has released a new packaging format for Linux," the team announced of its software download options this week. "You can now run the latest KiCad using AppImage. This is still in testing, so please give it a spin and let us know if something doesn't work correctly." * § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ postmarketOS_FOSDEM_2026_and_hackathon_recap⠀⇛ The postmarketOS project has published a recap from FOSDEM 2026, including the FOSS_on_Mobile_devroom, and a summary of its post-FOSDEM_hackathon.

Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, merged several existing methods to create a new method called rotational multi-material 3D printing. This technique prints multiple materials through a single nozzle, which is continuously rotating as it prints. * ⚓ Harvard University ☛ 3D_Printing_Soft_Robots⠀⇛ The advance was led by graduate student Jackson Wilt and former postdoctoral researcher Natalie Larson in the lab of Jennifer Lewis, the Hansjorg Wyss Professor of Biologically Inspired Engineering in the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS). The method combines several Harvard- developed 3D printing techniques and circumvents traditional casts and molds that are typically used to make soft robots. “We use two materials from a single outlet, which can be rotated to program the direction the robot bends when inflated,” Wilt said. “Our goals are aligned with creating soft, bio-inspired robots for various applications.” * ⚓ Digital Camera World ☛ Nikon_Heartography:_Nikon_once_turned_a_dog_into a_photographer_using_a_compact_camera_and_a_heart_rate_monitor⠀⇛ Nikon Heartography was an adorable marketing stunt where the camera company gave a dog the ability to trigger photos by connecting the camera to a heart monitor. The stunt came out of Nikon Asia back in 2015, but thanks to some recent social media posts – and perhaps the upcoming Valentine holiday – the canine photo stunt has resurfaced. * ⚓ Hackster ☛ DeepComputing_Opens_Pre-Orders_for_Its_Third-Generation Framework_Laptop_13_RISC-V_Mainboard⠀⇛ DeepComputing has announced its third-generation RISC-V single- board computer for the Framework Laptop 13, the DC-ROMA RISC- V Mainboard III — this time offering full support for the RVA23 profile, the newly-mandated minimum for support by Canonical's Ubuntu and other Linux distributions. "We're launching an Early Access Program for developers and early adopters to receive the DC-ROMA RISC-V Mainboard III for Framework Laptop 13, powered by SpacemiT K3," DeepComputing announced of the board's impending launch. "This program is designed for developers and early users who want to be among the first to experience next-generation RISC-V on a modular laptop platform." ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1734 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/12/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/12/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 12, 2026 * ⚓ Undeadly ☛ Game_of_Trees_0.122_released⠀⇛ Version 0.122 of Game of Trees has been released (and the port updated): [...] * ⚓ Farid Zakaria ☛ Creating_massively_huge_fake_files_and_binaries⠀⇛ I was writing a test case for lld to support “thunks” [llvm#180266] which uses a linker script to place two sections very far apart (8GiB) in the virtual address space. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-02-08_[Older]_"Beautiful_Perl_features",_new_series on_dev.to⠀⇛ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-02-08_[Older]_Mojo_with_WebSocket⠀⇛ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-02-08_[Older]_PCC_Summer_2025_Videos_Out!_Summer_PCC 2026_Announced!⠀⇛ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-02-06_[Older]_Dancer2_+_DBIx::Class::Async_+_HTMX⠀⇛ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-02-04_[Older]_This_week_in_PSC_(214)_|_2026-02-02⠀⇛ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-02-03_[Older]_Evolution_of_DBIx::Class::Async⠀⇛ * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ Muxup ☛ shandbox⠀⇛ shandbox enter will open a shell within the sandbox for easy interactive usage. As a convenience, if the current working directory is in $HOME/sandbox (e.g. $HOME/ sandbox/foo) then the working directory within the sandbox for shandbox run or shandbox enter will be set to the appropriate path within the sandbox (/home/sandbox/ foo in this case). i.e., the case where this mapping is trivial.

How_To_Install_Nmap_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Network security starts with understanding what’s connected to your infrastructure. Nmap, short for Network Mapper, stands as one of the most trusted open-source tools for network discovery and security auditing worldwide. * ⚓ Linux Magazine ☛ Use_These_Hacks_to_Keep_Your_GNU/Linux_Box_Running⠀⇛ You know the phrase "Never change a running system," which is rooted in the fear that things may break when you change them? If you do want to keep your systems running, I have a few suggestions. Adding a backup routine to your workflow is just one of them. * ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ Wayland_Display_Server_Guide_on_Ubuntu_26.04⠀⇛ * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ How_to_Parse_Command-Line_Options_in_Bash_with_getopts⠀⇛ This guide explains how to parse command-line options in Bash with getopts, including option strings, OPTARG and OPTIND, error handling, and practical script examples. * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ FTP_Cheatsheet⠀⇛ Quick reference for GNU/Linux FTP client commands and file transfer workflows * ⚓ Fabio Manganiello ☛ Webmentions_with_batteries_included⠀⇛ I have been a quite strong advocate of Webmentions for a long time. The idea is simple and powerful, and very consistent with the decentralized POSSE approach to content syndication. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ The_APT_command_has_hidden_powers,_here_are_5_of_them⠀⇛ If you're at all familiar with the terminal on Debian or Ubuntu, or one of their offshoots, then you likely know how to use APT to install and update packages. There's a lot more to the command line utility though. APT, also known as apt-get, is a package manager designed to handle DEB packages, downloading them from software repositories and installing them with very little work needed from you. Software often require "dependencies," other independent pieces of software that the software you're installing can't operate without. APT figures that out and installs them for you, saving you a lot of work. But it's capable of a lot more. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2730 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/12/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/12/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 12, 2026 * § Server⠀➾ o ⚓ Kubernetes Blog ☛ Spotlight_on_SIG_Architecture:_API_Governance⠀⇛ This is the fifth interview of a SIG Architecture Spotlight series that covers the different subprojects, and we will be covering SIG_Architecture:_API_Governance. In this SIG Architecture spotlight we talked with Jordan Liggitt, lead of the API Governance sub-project. FM: Hello Jordan, thank you for your availability. Tell us a bit about yourself, your role and how you got involved in Kubernetes. * § Kernel Space / File Systems / Virtualization⠀➾ o ⚓ Klara ☛ Pool_and_VDEV_Topology_for_Proxmox_Workloads⠀⇛ Designing ZFS pool and VDEV topology is a foundational decision for Proxmox performance, resiliency, and operability. This article explains how mirrors, RAID-Z, SLOG, ARC/L2ARC, and recordsize choices shape real-world VM workloads—and how to align them with Proxmox’s native ZFS integration. o ⚓ [Repeat] Data Swamp ☛ Declaratively_manage_containers_on_Linux⠀⇛ When you have to deal with containers on Linux, there are often two things making you wonder how to deal with effectively: how to keep your containers up to date, and how to easily maintain the configuration of everything running. It turns out podman is offering systemd unit templates to declaratively manage containers, this comes with the fact that podman can run in user mode. This combination gives the opportunity to create files, maintain them in git or deploy them with a configuration management tool like ansible, and keep things separated per user. It is also very convenient when you want to run a program shipped as a container on your desktop. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Distro Watch ☛ Distribution_Release:_Tiny_Core_Linux_17.0⠀⇛ The Tiny Core Linux project develops one of the world's most minimalist Linux distributions, with the smallest edition requiring less than 30MB of space. The latest release of Tiny Core is version 17.0 which mostly focuses on package updates. The release announcement shares the details: [...] o § Arch Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Simon Späti ☛ Arch_Linux_(Omarchy)_—_8_Months_Later:_The Good,_the_Bad,_and_the_Fixable⠀⇛ This is a follow-up to my part 1 of Switching macOS to Arch Linux with Omarchy, where I documented my first months with Arch Linux and Omarchy, after switching from 15 years of using macOS and Windows on and off at work since 2003. Back then, I had a checklist of basics I needed before I could commit to Linux as a daily driver: Obsidian, a Raycast-like launcher for fuzzy finding files and folders, screenshots (Snagit), daylight adjustment (f.lux), calendar events in the top bar. Those were quick wins. Eight months later, I’ve gone through many more challenges and learnings. In this post, I’ll share which apps replaced my heavily integrated macOS workflow, what my Omarchy workflow looks like now, and — honestly — what still doesn’t quite work. o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Distro Watch ☛ Distribution_Release:_Parrot_7.1⠀⇛ The Parrot team have announced the release of Parrot 7.1, an update to the project's 7.x series. The new version includes additional desktop editions along with updated tools: [...] o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ What_is_RDMA?⠀⇛ This article is the first in a short series. The follow-ups will look specifically at the two primary network interconnects that enable RDMA, InfiniBand and RoCE. Here, the goal is simpler: explain what RDMA is, why it matters now, and why it can be both powerful and uncomfortable for operators. # ⚓ Dedoimedo ☛ Network_works,_NetworkManager_sees_nil, PackageKit_offline⠀⇛ It was a little bit hard for me to choose the title for this article. It's a bit wordy and descriptive, and it covers a rather curious problem. To wit, you have a Linux system, most likely one based on Ubuntu. The networking works in it. You can ping, browse, use apt on the command line. But if you say launch Discover, which would be KDE's software management frontend, it will complain that it's offline. Indeed, NetworkManager shows no networks, even though you're online. Weird, innit, guv. I encountered this problem when I created my own system from "scratch", starting with Ubuntu Server, and having added the Plasma desktop environment on top of it. I did this in an ARM-based virtual machine running in VirtualBox on my Macbook, as this seems to be the best way to have your own Ubuntu-based KDE-based ARM architecture Linux distro set up. But obviously, the network was "borked". I resolved this, and I want to show you what I did to get there. After me. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Krebs On Security ☛ Kimwolf_Botnet_Swamps_Anonymity_Network I2P⠀⇛ Kimwolf is a botnet that surfaced in late 2025 and quickly infected millions of systems, turning poorly secured IoT devices like TV streaming boxes, digital picture frames and routers into relays for malicious traffic and abnormally large distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2916 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/12/Ubuntu_24_04_4_LTS_Is_Now_Available_for_Download_Powered_by_Lin.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/12/Ubuntu_24_04_4_LTS_Is_Now_Available_for_Download_Powered_by_Lin.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS Is Now Available for Download Powered by Linux Kernel 6.17⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Feb 12, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Ubuntu_24.04.4_LTS⦈_ Coming six months after Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS, the Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS point release is here as an up-to-date installation media, which includes all the latest software updates and security patches, for those who want to deploy the long-term supported Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) operating system on new computers without having to download hundreds of updated packages from the repositories after the installation. Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS is powered by Linux kernel 6.17 and the Mesa 25.2 graphics stack from the newer Ubuntu 25.10 (Questing Quokka) release. Both Ubuntu 24.04 and Ubuntu 24.04.1 shipped with Linux 6.8, Ubuntu 24.04.2 shipped with Linux 6.11, and Ubuntu 24.04.3 shipped with Linux 6.14, so the newer kernel should support more hardware, while the newer Mesa graphics stack should boost gaming.

It had an Intel Core i5, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD—a fairly powerful workhorse for its time. In 2022, I upgraded to a refurbished M1 Pro MacBook Pro, and the MacBook Air was relegated to a drawer, collecting dust like a forgotten Toy Story character. Despite its age, however, this Mac still works. Sure, it has a big ding in the bottom right corner from when I accidentally knocked it on the floor. I've replaced the battery twice. The hinge is loose, and tightening it is not a fun task. Still, the laptop powers on and it works without fail. The real problem? macOS updates have bogged it down. What was once snappy now feels sluggish; app icons bounce endlessly while applications open, and spinning beach balls are a common occurrence. * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Adios!_Says_Ubuntu_to_The_Software_and_Updates_Tool⠀⇛ Desktop builds of the upcoming Ubuntu 26.04 LTS won't ship with the Software & Updates application (software-properties-gtk) pre-installed. This is the tool that facilitates the managing of software sources and repository settings on an Ubuntu system. It handles PPAs, lets users switch between different software channels like main, restricted, universe, and multiverse; pick faster download mirrors; control automatic update behavior; and manage additional drivers. Now Ubuntu developers are removing it from the desktop image. The package isn't disappearing completely, of course; it just won't be included out of the box. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3042 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/12/Web_Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Standards.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/12/Web_Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Standards.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Web, Free, Libre, and Open Source Software, Standards⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 12, 2026 * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o § Chromium⠀➾ # ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ Google_Chrome_145_Released_with_JPEG-XL Decoding_Support⠀⇛ Google Chrome web browser released new 145 version yesterday for Linux, Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Android users.

McPherson’s epic Battle Cry of Freedom, which covers the Civil War era in the U.S. Each book is dense, beautifully written, and bursting with big ideas, but I want to zoom in on one theme that they each touched on, in very different ways. # ⚓ Jason Heppler ☛ refresh_of_Religious_Ecologies⠀⇛ Pretty excited about a refresh of Religious Ecologies that we have coming soon.
