I_wanted_Windows_Notepad_on_Linux—this_app_is_the_closest replacement_I’ve_found⠀⇛ On Linux, I’ve never really found a true equivalent. Most default text editors feel like they’re trying to be more than they need to be. Apps like Gedit, Kate, or even more modern ones ship with toolbars, plugins, syntax modes, and features that make sense for editing files, but feel unnecessary when you want to jot something down quickly. What I wanted was something simpler. An app that opens instantly, doesn’t ask me where I want to save a file, and doesn’t treat every line of text like the start of a weird coding project. Just a place to write and move on. * ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Default_Applications_Chooser_fixes⠀⇛ You will find this in the Setup menu category. I mentioned it in the recent blog post: https://bkhome.org/news/202602/a-better-fix-for-space-in-html- filename.html This little app was originally written in 2010, by Sc0ttman, a member of the old Puppy Forum. Since then, some modifications by shinobar, rerwin and myself. Many years since anyone looked at it. I discovered lots of issues, hopefully now fixed, and the version bumped from 0.9.2-1 to 0.9.3.

The threats aren't potent enough to report to Manchester Police like_we_did_some_weeks_ago_(we spoke_to_4_cops,_who_recognised_the_risk). They do, however, represent a serious deterioration in society and in online discourse. Promoting GNU/Linux and condemning people who attack GNU/Linux is not a crime. GNU/Linux represents science.

This is the fourth point release in the Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ‘Noble Numbat’ series since it launched in April 2024. The new installer image (ISO) contains all of the security, bug and software updates released since the Ubuntu 24.04.3 release last August. More notably, Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS ships with a new hardware enablement stack (HWE) offering Linux kernel 6.17 and Mesa 25.2.8, both back-ported from Ubuntu 25.10 and available to install on existing Ubuntu 24.04 systems – no fresh install required. * ⚓ Distro Watch ☛ Distribution_Release:_Ubuntu_24.04.4⠀⇛ Florent 'Skia' Jacquet has announced an update to Ubuntu's 24.04 LTS branch.

Ecrio Edge AI Communication Platform is an end-to-end platform that combines edge AI and communications to enable rapid human oversight where automation alone falls short. The platform delivers actionable and distributed inferencing, intelligent human-to-machine communications, and full support for generative and agentic AI, with a companion app for rugged phones, tablets, and smart glasses for human escalation. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 364 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/13/Debian_RcppSpdlog_0_0_27_Processes_and_Freexian.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/13/Debian_RcppSpdlog_0_0_27_Processes_and_Freexian.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Debian: RcppSpdlog 0.0.27, Processes, and Freexian⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 13, 2026 * ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_RcppSpdlog_0.0.27_on_CRAN:_C++20 Accommodations⠀⇛ Version 0.0.27 of RcppSpdlog arrived site will be refreshed too. RcppSpdlog Brian Ripley has now turned C++20 on as a default for R-devel (aka R 4.6.0 ‘to be’), and this turned up misbehvior in packages using RcppSpdlog such as our spdl wrapper (offering a nicer interface from both R and C++) when relying on std:: format. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Debian_DFSG_Team_announces_new_dashboard_and_queue_processes⠀⇛ Reinhard Tartler of Debian's new_DFSG,_Licensing_&_New_Packages Team, or simply "DFSG Team", has announced that the team is now operational and is deploying new tooling to improve the NEW queue experience for Debian developers and Our primary and immediate goal is simple: get the queue down. * ⚓ Freexian_Collaborators:_Debian_Contributions:_cross_building, rebootstrap_updates,_Refresh_of_the_patch_tagging_guidelines_and_more!_ (by_Anupa_Ann_Joseph)⠀⇛ In version 1.10.1, Meson merged a patch to make it call the correct g-ir-scanner by default thanks to Eli Schwarz. This problem affected more than 130 source packages. Helmut retried building them all and filed 69 patches as a result. A significant portion of those packages require another Meson change to call the correct vapigen. Another notable change is converting_gnu-efi_to_multiarch, which ended up requiring changes to a number of other packages. Since Aurelien dropped the libcrypt-dev dependency from libc6-dev, this transition now is mostly complete and has resulted in most of the Perl ecosystem correctly expressing perl-xs-dev dependencies needed for cross building.

The first distro I'd ever tried was Knoppix, one of the first live distros. I'd become familiar with APT through the Fink package manager, which I'd encountered when using the Terminal on macOS (this was long enough ago that it was still called Mac OS X). For a recent piece on tiny Linux distros I was working on, I thought that I'd rather not reinvent the wheel. I'll just create my own tiny Linux out of an existing system. That would be Debian.

Vim and its derivatives ignore the POSIX requirement and implement multi-level undo and redo in the usual and relatively obvious way. The vim 'u' command only undoes changes but it can undo lots of them, and to redo changes you use Ctrl-r ('r' and 'R' were already taken). Because 'u' (and Ctrl-r) are regular commands they can be used with counts, so you can undo the last 10 changes (or redo the last 10 undos). Vim can be set to vi compatible behavior if you want. I believe that vim's multi- level undo and redo is the default even when it's invoked as 'vi' in an unconfigured environment, but I can't fully test that. * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Mitchell_Hashimoto_Launches_'Vouch'_to_Fight_Hey_Hi_(AI) Slop_in_Open_Source_Ecosystem⠀⇛ New tool helps open source projects manage the scourge of Hey Hi (AI) slop. * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ FOSS_Weekly_#26.07:_Kernel_6.19,_Hey_Hi_(AI)_for_Real Sysadmin_Works,_Arch_Apps_on_Ubuntu_and_More_GNU/Linux_Stuff⠀⇛ The last kernel of the 6.x series is here. * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ Chuck Grimmett ☛ Action_Scheduler_clean_up⠀⇛ Action Scheduler is a library for triggering a WordPress hook to run at some time in the future.

Unfortunately, it is also easy for bugs to make the queue or logs explode in size. * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ TechTea ☛ New_Linux_User_Tips⠀⇛ A lot of people are jumping on the Linux bandwagon after being abused for too long by big tech companies, but a lot bounce off due to friction and an unwillingness to learn a new way to work. I’ve used Linux full-time for my personal computing for more than 10 years and used it off and on even before that. That is not to say I’m an expert, but I have an idea of what it is like to use Linux as a daily driver and am definitely more qualified to talk about it compared to a lot of the social media personalities who act like they just discovered it. With that in mind, here are some tips from a casual Linux user so you don’t bash your head against a wall trying Linux. * § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ o ⚓ Creative Commons ☛ How_to_Keep_the_Internet_Human⠀⇛ But of course, it is not just open content that is vulnerable. All content online today has essentially been treated as fair game. The free-for-all extends to everything online. This has led to a vast renegotiation of what it means to share publicly, still currently underway. We see this in the massive wave of litigation against AI services, the rise of paywalls and commercial licensing deals, the introduction of new technologies to increase control over content in ways that scale back the open web, and the extreme backlash against AI by creators and the general public. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ RIPE ☛ Forward_to_Hell?_On_Misusing_Transparent_DNS_Forwarders For_Amplification_Attacks⠀⇛ Transparent DNS forwarders transfer DNS requests without rebuilding packets.

I wouldn’t touch ChromeOS with a ten- foot pole, but its mere existence proves that a desktop Linux for non-technical users is not merely possible: it’s here already, and it’s quite successful.

The distro is based on Debian 13 “Trixie” stable, and features a customized Openbox window manager. It comes in three basic flavors: Lilidog, which is the default Openbox version; Beardog, which is barebones without the display manager; and Waydog, which is the Wayland version featuring the Labwc and Sway Wayland compositors. For purposes of this review, we are going with the default Lilidog Linux 64-bit version. The distro offers both 32- and 64-bit versions, with the minimum system requirements being a 1 GHz processor, 2 GB or more of RAM, an integrated graphics card, and 10 GB of free disk space.

We’ve just written about PicoClaw, an ultra-lightweight personal Hey Hi (AI) Assistant for cheap GNU/Linux boards that just needs 10MB of spare RAM. It was itself inspired by Nanobot, a lightweight assistant written in Python, that’s 99% smaller, in terms of lines of code, than the original OpenClaw project that started it all. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Storing_Image_Data_As_Analog_Audio⠀⇛ The self-contained device first uses an ESP32 and its associated camera module to take a picture, with a screen that shows the current view of the camera as the picture is being taken. In this way it’s fairly similar to any semi-modern digital camera. From there, though, it starts to diverge from a typical digital camera. The digital image is converted first to analog and then stored as audio on a standard cassette tape, which is included in the module in lieu of something like an SD card. * ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ I_have_no_need_for_a_3D_printer_(cough)⠀⇛ I have no need for a 3D printer. Funny, I just read that somewhere else, almost as though it was in the heading. 3D printers take up a lot of space, come with more consumables I’d need to purchase on a regular basis, would require me to learn 3D modelling, and the whole thing looks like a massive rabbithole that would feed into my obsessive side. * ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ A_busted_Athlon-ara_motherboard_BIOS⠀⇛ It had been at least five minutes since Clara’s father handed down an old computer. I kid, but it’s been amazing reminiscing with him over these old machines, and tinkering to get them all working again. * ⚓ Andrew Hutchings ☛ Ditching_the_Debug_Probe:_Using_a_Segger_J-Link_with a_Raspberry_Pi_Pico⠀⇛ I was working on benchmarking some new code on a Raspberry Pi Pico today and needed to debug it. This proved to be more difficult than it should be, so I figured I would document how I did it. * ⚓ Robotic Systems LLC ☛ PWM_input_support⠀⇛ The new features and capababilities for moteus just keep coming! Here is another relatively straightforward one available in firmware release 2026-01-21, support for PWM (pulse-width-modulated) inputs. If an appropriate pin is configured, moteus can report the period and duty cycle of a PWM input to applications. This can be used to monitor the fan RPM for the moteus cooling fans on moteus-c1, moteus-n1, or moteus-x1, or could be used to read the value of a RC receiver output. Read on to learn how to use it and what the limitations are: [...] * ⚓ Jeremy Cherfas ☛ No_birds,_yet⠀⇛ Once I worked that out, I stopped recording while I deleted thousands of recordings. Still, the Analyzer continued to fall behind a couple of times. Right now it is keeping up, although there are no birds around, so I hope it is having an easier time of it. The obvious solution is to bite the bullet and buy a heftier Pi, which I will almost certainly do tomorrow. And while I am about it, I have one major desire. * ⚓ Olimex ☛ New_Power_Supply_Modules_for_PCB_Mounting_in_stock⠀⇛ We now have several new power supply modules available. All of them operate with an input voltage of 85VAC to 255VAC at 50Hz or 60Hz, thus covering worldwide mains power networks. The power ratings and output voltages are as follows: [...] * ⚓ Arduino ☛ Building_the_ultimate_turntable_for_3D_scanning⠀⇛ When you buy a 3D scanner, it will probably come with a turntable to spin the subject part and help you get a consistent scan from all sides. But almost all of those turntables are flimsy, shaky, and lack any fixturing provisions for parts, diminishing their utility. That’s why Chris Borge used an Arduino to build the ultimate turntable for 3D scanning. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1628 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/13/PostgreSQL_18_2_17_8_16_12_15_16_and_14_21_Released.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/13/PostgreSQL_18_2_17_8_16_12_15_16_and_14_21_Released.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ PostgreSQL 18.2, 17.8, 16.12, 15.16, and 14.21 Released!⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 13, 2026 The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported versions of PostgreSQL, including 18.2, 17.8, 16.12, 15.16, and 14.21. This release fixes 5 security vulnerabilities and over 65 bugs reported § CVE-2026-2003: PostgreSQL oidvector discloses a few bytes of memory CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 4.3 Supported, Vulnerable Versions: 14 - 18. Improper validation of type oidvector in PostgreSQL allows a database user to disclose a few bytes of server memory. We have not ruled out viability of attacks that arrange for presence of confidential information in disclosed bytes, but they seem unlikely. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.2, 17.8, 16.12, 15.16, and 14.21 are affected.

Although Python remains the most popular programming language, the index suggests that several more specialized languages are gradually gaining ground at Python’s expense, most notably R and Perl. * ⚓ SICP ☛ Happy_25th_birthday_to_the_manifesto_for_agile_software development!⠀⇛ 11th-13th February 2001 is the occasion of the most famous skiing holiday in software. Don’t take my word for it; Jim Highsmith was there and wrote the history. It’s pretty astounding that, in a field where everyone tries to remind each other that things move at breakneck pace (though that speed is mostly reserved for those reminders), a website with four substantive text-only pages is still relevant and still widely cited. I’m never going to create as comprehensive or as balanced a critique as Bertrand Meyer, but there are still various important points about the manifesto that are worth discussing. * ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ The_Many_Flavors_of_Ignore_Files⠀⇛ A bug report in git-pkgs led me down a rabbit hole: files that git ignored were showing up as phantom diffs, and the cause turned out to be go-git’s gitignore implementation, which doesn’t match git’s actual behavior for unanchored patterns in nested directories. I went looking for a Go library that fully matched git’s pattern semantics and couldn’t find one, so I wrote git-pkgs/gitignore with a wildmatch engine modeled on git’s own wildmatch.c. Building that made me appreciate how much complexity hides behind .gitignore, and got me thinking about all the other tools with their own ignore files. Most claim to use “gitignore syntax” without specifying which parts, and that phrase turns out to be doing a lot of work. Every tool wants to be git until it has to implement git’s edge cases. * ⚓ Anton Zhiyanov ☛ Allocators_from_C_to_Zig⠀⇛ An allocator is a tool that reserves memory (typically on the heap) so a program can store its data structures there. Many C programs use the standard libc allocator, or at best, let you switch it out for another one like jemalloc or mimalloc. Unlike C, modern systems languages usually treat allocators as first-class citizens. Let's look at how they handle allocation and then create a C allocator following their approach. * ⚓ Calyx Institute ☛ Lessons_from_CalyxOS_signing_process_redesign⠀⇛ Code signing is commonly used to cryptographically verify the origin of software. A typical Android build consists of many individually signed pieces, which requires a significant amount of signing keys. Among these keys, the most important is used for verified boot, which establishes a full chain of trust for all parts of the operating system. Each key comes in two parts: the certificate and the private key. Developers use the private keys to make the cryptographic signatures, which need to be stored somewhere. This is typically a file on a storage medium. However, if anyone gets a copy of that file they can make valid signatures indefinitely and there is no way to stop them. It is impossible to verify where there are any copies of the key file, where they exist, or who has access to them. That is quite a risk. It also makes giving more than one person access to the keys quite challenging and thus is bad for your bus factor. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ Extract_Microsoft's_proprietary_prison_GitHub_repository_URLs from_BlackArch_tools_pages⠀⇛ o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Bash_Via_Transpiler⠀⇛ It is no secret that we often use and abuse bash to write things that ought to be in a different language. But bash does have its attractions. In the modern world, it is practically everywhere. It can also be very expressive, but perhaps hard to read. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Filippo Valsorda ☛ Inspecting_the_Source_of_Go_Modules⠀⇛ Go has indisputably the best package integrity story of any programming language ecosystem. The Go Checksum Database guarantees that every Go client in the world is using the same source for a given Go module and version, forever. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Rust Weekly Updates ☛ This_Week_In_Rust:_This_Week_in_Rust_638⠀⇛ Hello and welcome to another issue of This Week in Rust! o ⚓ Rust Blog ☛ The_Rust_Programming_Language_Blog:_Announcing_Rust 1.93.1⠀⇛ The Rust team has published a new point release of Rust, 1.93.1.

By following this demonstration, you will learn how to manage secure connectivity between services, gateways, and identity providers. This example uses the NeuralBank application to show these security patterns in a practical context. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_build_an_image_mode_pipeline_with_GitLab⠀⇛ This guide provides a step-by-step process for creating a robust, automated CI/CD pipeline for image_mode for Red_Hat Enterprise_Linux (RHEL) using GitLab. Image mode, utilizing the power of bootc (bootable containers), fundamentally shifts how we manage and deploy operating systems. Instead of traditional package management, we treat the OS as a container image, making deployments immutable, verifiable, and highly consistent. § Set up the pipeline Before setting up the pipeline, ensure you have the following prerequisites: * ⚓ Christian Hofstede-Kuhn ☛ SELinux:_A_Practical_Guide_for_Fedora_and RHEL⠀⇛ If you’ve spent time on Fedora or RHEL systems, you’ve encountered SELinux. And if you’re like many administrators, your first instinct when something doesn’t work is to check if SELinux is the culprit. The temptation to run setenforce 0 is strong - but it’s also the wrong approach. SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) implements mandatory access control (MAC) at the kernel level. Unlike traditional Unix permissions (discretionary access control), SELinux policies are enforced regardless of file ownership or traditional permissions. A process running as root can still be blocked from accessing files if the SELinux policy doesn’t permit it. This guide focuses on practical skills: understanding what SELinux is doing, troubleshooting denials, and configuring policies correctly. We’ll cover the concepts you need without getting lost in policy theory. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ From_challenge_to_champion:_Elevate_your vulnerability_management_strategy⠀⇛ Based on our work with customers, we've identified a few common areas where we can all “level up” our vulnerability management game.  * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Building_bridges_to_European_Digital_Sovereignty⠀⇛ For decades, Red Hat has catalyzed open source adoption across the European Union. We advocate for ‘default-to-open’ EU policies because they help unlock Europe’s full potential.  From improving citizen public services with the València City Council and ITZBund to modernizing IT for major European entities such as BBVA, Volkswagen and Airbus, our mission remains consistent: fostering open, borderless innovation.  * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ UK_Ministry_of_Defence_Collaborates_with_Red_Hat_to Improve_Digital_Delivery,_Unlock_AI_Capabilities_and_Scale_its_Hybrid Cloud [Ed: UK bets on buzzwords for defence]⠀⇛ * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Data_Security_And_AI [Ed: IBM Red at pushes buzzwords, not substance, as IBM's stock depends on these lies]⠀⇛ The relationship between data and AI is...complicated. AI is built on data. It often needs more. A wealth of data can make AI strong. But it can also be a weakness. * ⚓ Oracle_Virtualization_adds_support_for_Oracle_Linux_9_compute⠀⇛ The Oracle Linux and Oracle Virtualization team is pleased to announce support for Oracle Linux 9 Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hosts with Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager 4.5.

In a consent order dated 5 February, Mrs Justice Collins Rice required the regulator to make an interim payment of £400,000. Media lawyer Ashley Hurst was fined £50,000 in 2024 when the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal found that he had improperly attempted to stop solicitor and tax commentator Dan Neidle from publishing or discussing correspondence over the tax affairs of his client, former chancellor of the exchequer Nadhim Zahawi. The SDT also ordered Hurst to pay £260,000 costs. [...] The ruling is the second adverse costs ruling this month against the SRA over a SLAPP prosecution. The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal last week ordered the regulator to pay the costs of Carter-Ruck partner Claire Gill following the summary dismissal of the SRA's case. We'll soon show how the SRA ducked the_'without_prejudice'_E-mail sent on behalf of a serial strangler from Microsoft (who has since then, in effect, abandoned his case because I sued him last_summer). The SRA's assumption was proven wrong in a courtroom; the serial strangler from Microsoft did in fact coordinate_his_lawsuit_with_Matthew_J._Garrett, according to Matthew J. Garrett. SRA is in the "hot seat" again. It's not doing its job. It fails to properly regulate. We'll soon start a new series about how SRA staff (mis)handled a notorious firm with "kids' gloves" and ended up making a decision without even examining the evidence because their Microsoft systems failed almost 10 times in succession. They tried for about 3 months - and failed every times - to receive files. IT 101! Nowadays the law firm that targets me has almost no "media" (litigation) business, no blog posts, no activity in social control media (in almost two weeks already). Many staff_members_are_leaving and they recently got sued by their own clients [1, 2, 3]. That lawsuit against them still goes ahead, according to public records. Earlier this week it issued new kinds of threats (threatening_to_put_us_in_prison; yes, my wife also!) and a_day_later_(also_the same_day)_I_received_threats_from_a_burner_account_apparently_connected_to_the firm. They just try to frighten us. The state of media law in the UK is becoming really sordid. The hired_guns_are stopped_by_nobody and their real objectives are reputation_laundering_by lawfare. Bellingcat's_founder_spoke_about_it_last_year. Some quotes: "The fact remains that to any reasonable person, an individual sanctioned by the UK, EU, and US government for their relationship with Wagner claiming social media posts making the same statement would damage their reputation and taking legal action against the individual sharing that information is a clear abuse of the British legal system. I have no confidence in a system that would allow such a thing to happen, especially when neither the government nor SRA seem to want to take responsibility for preventing something similar happening in the future." The UK Anti-SLAPP Coalition (that I spoke to many times over E-mail and telephone) said: "...decision to discontinue Eliot’s complaint and the absence, until now, of any explanation has sowed further confusion and doubt in a manner that threatens to undermine public trust in the SRA and its work. While we disagree with its decision to discontinue Eliot’s complaint against Discreet Law, we agree with the SRA that regulation on its own is not enough to stamp out SLAPPs and that a universal anti-SLAPP Law is what everyone needs.” When will that happen? We'll soon show messages that we transmitted to politicians. █ =============================================================================== Image source:

howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 13, 2026 * ⚓ TecMint ☛ 4_Ways_to_Find_Out_Which_Process_Listening_on_a_Particular Port⠀⇛ A port is a logical entity that represents an endpoint of communication and is associated with a given process or service in an operating system. * ⚓ David Bushell ☛ Declarative_Dialog_Menu_with_Invoker_Commands_–_David Bushell_–_Web_Dev_(UK)⠀⇛ Making an off-canvas menu free from heinous JavaScript has always been possible, but not ideal. I wrote up one technique for Smashing Magazine in 2013. Later I explored in an absurdly titled post where I used the new Popover API. * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ Screen_Cheatsheet⠀⇛ Quick reference for GNU Screen sessions, windows, detach/ attach, and common key bindings * ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_OpenVPN_Server_on_Rocky_GNU/Linux_10⠀⇛ Setting up a secure VPN server has become essential for protecting data and ensuring private network access in today’s connected world. OpenVPN stands out as a robust, open-source solution that delivers enterprise-grade security without the hefty price tag. * ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_JDownloader_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Managing multiple downloads from various file hosting services can be frustrating and time-consuming. JDownloader offers a powerful solution for Debian 13 users who need to handle large files, batch downloads, and automated downloads from hundreds of hosting platforms. * ⚓ ZDNet ☛ How_to_use_your_Android_phone_to_master_Linux_Bash_scripts_ (instead_of_doomscrolling)⠀⇛ Bash scripts are a great way to automate all sorts of repetitive tasks -- you can run backups, clear temporary files/ logs, rename or batch-rename files, install or update software, and much more. Although writing such scripts isn't nearly as hard as you might think, it does take some time to learn the ins and outs of Bash scripting. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2778 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/13/Web_Browsers_Web_News_and_Latest_From_Mozilla.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/13/Web_Browsers_Web_News_and_Latest_From_Mozilla.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Web Browsers, Web News, and Latest From Mozilla⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 13, 2026 * ⚓ Wired ☛ A_Wave_of_Unexplained_Bot_Traffic_Is_Sweeping_the_Web⠀⇛ When he first noticed the traffic spike, Quintero thought he’d found an audience on the other side of the world. “I need to travel to China right now because I’m the bomb there,” Quintero says he recalls thinking. But as soon as he dug into the data, he knew something was wrong. Google Analytics, a common tool used by website owners to parse web traffic, shows that all the Chinese visitors are from one specific city: Lanzhou. They are unlikely to be real humans, because they stay on the page for an average of 0 seconds and don’t scroll or click. Quintero quickly realized his website was actually being bombarded by bots. * ⚓ Amit Patel ☛ URLs_with_trailing_punctuation⠀⇛ When a url is posted on a forum/chat, it’s often automatically made linkable. But sometimes the regexp that grabs the url also grabs a trailing punctuation mark. [...] * § Mozilla⠀➾ o ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Mozilla_Localization_(L10N):_Pontoon_Translation Search:_Unifying_Localization_Across_Mozilla⠀⇛ Here at Mozilla, we are tirelessly working to bring our products to a global audience. Pontoon, our in-house translation management system plays a central role, where volunteer localizers work to bring translations for Firefox, Thunderbird, SUMO and other Mozilla products. Recently, we have been working to unify localization tools and give localizers and developers smoother, more streamlined workflows. This is why we are excited to introduce Pontoon’s new Translation_Search feature, where everyone can search for strings across all projects and locales at Mozilla. o ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Hacks.Mozilla.Org:_Launching_Interop_2026⠀⇛ The Interop Project is a cross-browser initiative to improve web compatibility in areas that offer the most benefit to both users and developers. The group, including Apple, Google, Igalia, Microsoft, and Mozilla, takes proposals of features that are well defined in a sufficiently stable web standard, and have good test suite coverage. Then, we come up with a subset of those proposals that balances web developer priorities (via surveys and bug reports) with our collective resources. We focus on features that are well-represented in Web Platform_Tests as the pass-rate is how we measure progress, which you can track on the Interop_dashboard. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2863 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 27 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
