We'll probably change the theme a little and focus more on revival. By some definitions, UK spring ends on 31 May, 10 days before our community's anniversary (10 June). This year's colour motif is green, Rianne's favourite colour and also mine (since childhood; it's one of the many things we have in common). █ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇When_does_spring_start?⦈_

size — Topping — or rather, bottoming — this list is KolibriOS, a fully graphical operating system that fits on a single 1.44MB floppy disk image. Read that again; I didn't say 144MB. I'm talking about an entire OS, complete with a desktop environment, text editor, image viewer, web browser, and over 30 games, in less space than a short email chain. The secret is assembly language. Every line of KolibriOS, from its monolithic preemptive kernel (which itself is under 100 KB) to its drivers, is handwritten in FASM assembly. That level of care produces a system that boots in under five seconds flat and runs comfortably on just 8MB of RAM. It also supports modern niceties like FAT32, ext2/3/4, USB 2.0, TCP/IP networking, and HD audio, all from hardware requirements that most modern OSes would refuse to acknowledge. KolibriOS is a joy to explore for its sheer audacity. Whether you are resurrecting ancient hardware, tinkering with embedded systems, or simply looking for operating systems you should try on your virtual machine to see how far minimalist computing can be pushed, this tiny hummingbird of an OS is worth every minute of your curiosity.

Those descriptions aren't wrong, but that's not what everyone needs from their OS, especially if you're just trying to get stuff done. This is why users will sacrifice things like privacy and control by using something like Windows; people want a familiar experience that works how they expect it to, not necessarily in the best way that gives the most options. The answer for these users posed by the Universal Blue project comes in the form of Bluefin, a Linux operating system that's based on Fedora Silverblue. It comes with a ton of very specific, curated defaults that have convinced me that "boring" distros of this type are the future of Linux on the desktop. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Universal_Blue_wants_to_redefine_the_entire_Linux_ecosystem⠀⇛ Linux has always been a budding ecosystem of what seems like infinite choice. Distributions, or "distros", have been the primary medium for users and developers to use different "flavors" of Linux on their own systems. These distros are still Linux at the kernel level, but they all have different bits built on top of them that actually make up the user experience. Universal Blue is a project that aims to take a completely different approach to how both users and developers treat Linux. Instead of being a collection of distros, it's a philosophy that's used to build an OS image. Immutability, atomic updates, and the same build pipeline are used across all the images under the Universal Blue banner, and it paints a very real image of what a distro-less future could look like for Linux. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

using_a_single_Multiplexer⠀⇛ I have always been proud of my terminal workflow. It sometimes includes turning the terminal into a shareable web session. Screen was an integral part of my setup on every remote server, and Tmux powered my local machine with custom key bindings, plugins, and resurrect scripts. This setup worked well and was fast. However, I noticed that a lot of time went into syncing dotfiles across machines, and I also got occupied with debugging, especially after updates. So, in search of a better solution, I tried Zellij, and after five minutes, I realized it was the solution. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ How_to_create_a_Jellyfin_server_with_your_media⠀⇛ Once you start a Jellyfin server and give it your personal media collection, you can start streaming it just like you would a regular streaming service. It doesn't cost a dime, and unlike competitors Plex and Emby, it's totally open source. Here's how to get started. § Choose a host device Before you install a Jellyfin server, it's important you consider what you're going to install it on. This will depend on what you plan to do with it. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Timeshift_saved_my_Linux_install_after_I_broke_it_tweaking_things I_shouldn't_have⠀⇛ Linux might sound better in terms of a more privacy-focused, open-source operating system, but it lacks a basic system restore feature available on Windows. I've used system restore to get out of peaky situations for decades, but Linux doesn't ship a default tool for it even now. It's partly due to the huge variety of Linux distros and also due to the notion that you can reinstall them if things go awfully wrong. If you use Linux on one machine, it's not a bad option. However, I use multiple systems and virtual machines, and reinstalling is a time-consuming process. Ubuntu doesn't have a system restore point creation tool even in 2026, so I use Timeshift to add the same feature. It's available for all Linux distributions, takes minimal storage space, and can help you automate the system snapshot creation process, just as Windows does. Let's discuss why it's an essential tool if you use Linux. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ These_14_Linux_commands_helped_me_become_a_better troubleshooter⠀⇛ Using Linux, especially as a server, often means dealing with new errors and resolving them. Most of them are easy to fix with just a web search. But some errors may require that you do some digging.

Ardour 9.2 also introduces support for dragging multiple regions at the same time from the sources list into the editor, makes it easier to identify the channel and controller via MIDI CC lanes and tracks names, and implements the “normal” process for MIDI learn of cue triggering, along with a new button in Preferences to let you clear all current custom cue MIDI bindings.

There are so many different ones to choose from, and many of which come as different stock options in your favorite distro of choice. GNOME and KDE Plasma are two of the most common choices for their ubiquitous nature as well as their level of polish, and the differences between the two are usually framed a certain way. It's usually a choice between minimalism and customizability, or simplicity versus control. I expected those differences when I moved from GNOME to KDE, but they weren’t what stuck with me. What did was something that had nothing to do with the "start" menu or how apps open, but rather it was how they were organized. Workspaces are really only half of the conversation, and it's something they both do well, but KDE's Activities feature exposed a flaw I didn't realize I had been working around for years. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Linux_Mint_22_convinced_me_Cinnamon_is_the_most_underrated desktop⠀⇛ I'll be honest: I'm a GNOME-enjoyer. I'm not a particularly big fan of KDE Plasma, but I'll tolerate it. And perhaps my most steaming-hot take: I always thought Cinnamon was a knock-off of KDE. I don't have a load of experience with it, and in all honesty, I was even tempted to opt for Xfce, a lightweight environment, when trying Mint again. It has been years since I first tried Linux Mint, but during my current stint with it, Cinnamon has actually won me over. It's clean and friendly like KDE, gets out of my way like GNOME, but doesn't require a ton of tweaks to get it to a good spot. Cinnamon is super underrated, and if it's an option for your distro, I recommend taking it for a spin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣄⡀⠐⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻⢯⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠈⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠈⢿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣟⡻⠿⠿⠾⢿⣿⣯⣯⣽⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠈ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣂⣶⣶⢖⡥⣦⢭⢍⢍⣻⣛⡽⡷⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡕⣽⣿⣿⠟⣿⢻⣉⣕⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢭⣩⣽⣽⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣦⣤⣤⣄⣀⡀⠀⢰⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣺⣿⣿⡿⣱⣸⣿⣿⡏⢹⣽⡟⣿⣶⣿⣻⣿⣿⢕⣬⣙⣾⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠻⠛⠻⠿⠇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡿⠺⠿⢿⠇⠘⣿⣿⡇⢫⣭⣭⣿⣤⢨⠛⣛⣈⣛⣿⡛⠳⠂⠺⢿⡿⢹⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣴⣦⣤⣤⣬⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣍⣉⣉⣉⣋⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡏⣽⣾⣤⡅⠁⠸⠍⠐⠡⢢⣤⣈⠁⢈⠀⠠⠭⣉⣉⡅⠀⠀⠛⣻⠛⠫⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡮⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠃⢀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠂⠀⠀⢈⣿⣿⠸⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠆⠀⠀⠀⠴⡶⠿⡿⢶⢆⠂⠠⠰⠾⠿⠆⠀⠀⠶⠶⠶⠆⣿⣄⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⡷⣯⣧⣥⡕⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⢠⣾⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣾⡄⠀⠀⠠⣶⣶⢀⠙⣿⣦⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣏⣿⣿⣿⣇⠂⠀⢀⢄⠀⢸⣿⣿⢗⠀⠀⠀⢄⣿⣿⡃⠀⠀⣤⣿⣿⡄⣄⠈⢿⣧ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣟⣿⣟⡏⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣷⠆⠀⠀⠠⠘⠿⠟⠛⠛⠠⠀⠈⠈⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⣿⡆⠈⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣩⣭⣽⣆⢄⡪⠐⠂⠀⠀⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣂⣂⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣦⠀⢻⣿⡀⠸ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢿⣿⣿⣉⣏⣴⡁⢸⠀⣴⡇⠀⢲⣶⣶⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢀⣿⣛⠀⡀⢿⣧⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣟⣛⡃⣿⣾⣯⣽⣿⣿⣷⠁⠀⠿⡆⢄⠺⠿⠿⢇⠂⠀⠀⢠⡽⠿⠆⠀⠀⠈⣉⣉⠀⠉⢸⣿⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣿⣭⣭⡅⣿⣿⣯⢼⣛⣛⡏⡁⠐⣄⡐⢕⠟⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠿⠀⣾⣿⡿⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣏⡝⠟⠫⠁⠀⢀⣿⠊⠀⣺⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⢀⠀⢿⣟⣀⠀⠀⠰⠞⠛⠀⠛⠉⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⡷⢹⣿⣿⡇⠄⢸⣿⠂⠀⢘⣟⣛⣧⠁⠀⠄⠛⣋⣉⠍⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣶⠾⢿⡇⣿⣿⣧⠸⠿⣛⣃⡁⢸⣯⢕⡉⢛⣋⣍⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢠⡽⠷⡂⣀⣤⣾⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠷⡟⠿⠝⡅⣿⣿⣿⢿⠟⡻⠉⠁⠀⢩⣹⠆⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⣢⣽⠷⠗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠿⠋ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⠛⣃⣈⣱⣶⡆⠺⠃⡇⣿⣿⡇⢲⣿⣾⡇⠀⠀⠈⠠⠀⣺⣿⣷⠖⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⢠⢀⣀⡉⢀⡀⡀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⠇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⡅⣿⣿⣏⢸⢿⣟⣣⣤⠀⠠⠘⠐⠉⠃⠀⠑⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠐⠐⠑⠓⠚⠉⠃ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 851 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/24/Events_Web_Browsers_SSGs_Software_Freedom_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/24/Events_Web_Browsers_SSGs_Software_Freedom_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Events, Web Browsers, SSGs, Software Freedom, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 24, 2026 * § Events⠀➾ o ⚓ Software Freedom Conservancy ☛ FOSSY_2026_track_proposals_are open! [Ed: Unsafe?]⠀⇛ FOSSY_2026 (August 6th – 9th 2026 at University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada) has opened our call for track_proposals!! Our community led tracks have always been a highlight of the conference. Making space for what the community wants to talk about, and fostering discussion around key issues in software freedom is what FOSSY is all about. * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o ⚓ Rachel ☛ Another_round_of_reporting_on_feed_readers⠀⇛ One thing I wanted to note before I get to the list: there are a couple of readers which have apparently added support for the Cache-Control header, and specifically the "max-age=nnnnn" part of it. The test feed sends that out, and I change the values sometimes to see which readers speed up and slow down accordingly. To the authors of those projects: I see you, and I appreciate your work! I'd put a gold star on your laptop if I could. (Not all of them are in this report since they have finished testing and are no longer reporting in.) So then, let's talk turkey here. I'm grouping the results by client just for simplicity. Remember that means it includes vastly different config options used by different people, different versions, different upgrade cadences, and (sigh), yes, different amounts of people clicking reload. o ⚓ PolyWolf ☛ Shoutouts_To_All_The_RSS_Readers⠀⇛ User-Agents in alphabetical order, marked up with links where applicable: [...] o ⚓ Andrew Chan ☛ Crawling_a_billion_web_pages_in_just_over_24 hours⠀⇛ Obviously lots of things have changed since then. Most bigger, better, faster: CPUs have gotten a lot more cores, spinning disks have been replaced by NVMe solid state drives with near-RAM I/O bandwidth, network pipe widths have exploded, EC2 has gone from a tasting menu of instance types to a whole rolodex's worth, yada yada. But some harder: much more of the web is dynamic, with heavier content too. How has the state of the art changed? Have the bottlenecks shifted, and would it still cost ~$41k to bootstrap your own Google? I wanted to find out, so I built and ran my own web crawler I discussed with Michael Nielsen over email and following precedent, also decided to hold off on publishing the code. Sorry! under similar constraints. o § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ # ⚓ PolyWolf ☛ So_I've_Been_Thinking_About_Static_Site Generators⠀⇛ I'm aware of 2 broad classes of SSGs: those written for the authors' personal use which are quirky in interesting ways (a very common topic on lobste.rs), and ones written for a mass audience that are more mellow but flawed in some other way (Jekyll, Hugo, Hakyll, Zola, Astro, & many others).

But unlike most mobile Linux distros, Pocketblue is an atomic distro. In a nutshell, that means it’s an operating system that’s harder to break because of the way updates are installed. Basically, new package updates are either fully installed or not installed at all – if something breaks during installation, the OS will just default to using the old version of any given package. And that should make Fedora Pocketblue Remix a relatively robust option… if you’ve got one of the handful of devices that the operating system supports.

What it is, however, is not new. In fact, the developer, Fabio Erculiani, has taken two pieces of technology, Gentoo Linux and immutability, and combined them to form a distribution that sounds quite appealing. Imagine getting the high-level customization of Gentoo, with the rock-solid security that comes with immutability? Intrigued? I know I am. If Fabio Erculiani sounds familiar, it's because he was behind Sabayon Linux, which aimed to make Gentoo easier for users to install. According to the matrixOS GitHub page, "Our two main goals are: Reliability: Providing a stable, immutable base system through OSTree, which allows for atomic upgrades and rollbacks. Gaming-Friendly: Shipping with the Steam loader, Lutris, and optimizations to get you gaming on both NVIDIA and AMD GPUs with minimal fuss...and our motto is: emerge once, deploy everywhere."

By grounding models in external knowledge bases, RAG systems can provide accurate, up-to-date responses without the cost and complexity of fine-tuning. In practice, most RAG systems reach production with weak evaluation strategies. Teams tune embeddings, retrievers, chunking strategies, and prompts—but still rely on manual spot checks, small hand- labeled datasets, or generic LLM-as-a-judge metrics to assess quality. The result: systems that appear to work, but fail silently under real user traffic. So the real question becomes: How do you know your RAG system actually works—and why it fails when it doesn't? ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1607 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/24/Microsoft_s_Proprietary_Traps_Trying_to_Exit_Windows_Some_Dump_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/24/Microsoft_s_Proprietary_Traps_Trying_to_Exit_Windows_Some_Dump_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Microsoft's Proprietary Traps: Trying to Exit Windows, Some Dump WSL (Windows With Misused Brand) for Real GNU/ Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 24, 2026 * ⚓ XDA ☛ I'm_tired_of_Windows,_but_these_4_entry_barriers_keep_me_from moving_to_Linux⠀⇛ It's not an easy transition * ⚓ XDA ☛ Why_WSL_finally_replaced_native_Linux_on_my_PC⠀⇛ * ⚓ XDA ☛ WSL_is_great,_but_it_taught_me_I_should_just_run_Linux_natively instead⠀⇛ Linux might be the better choice after all. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ WSL_is_good,_but_it's_still_not_enough_for_me_to_go_back to_Windows⠀⇛ I hear sometimes from Windows users who find no use for installing Linux on bare metal thanks to how advanced and usable WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) has become.

I wasn't in a huge rush to completely revamp my container workflow, but seeing NixOS in action planted a seed. There are small annoyances I have with Proxmox that aren't fixable. Every time I broke something, recovery followed the same pattern, and it was getting on my nerves. I would restore a snapshot, reinstall a package, reapply a configuration file from memory, or dig through shell history trying to remember what I had done the last time this system was “working.” Everything worked, but I didn't want to waste more time doing these small recovery jobs. NixOS was difficult to learn, and it took me a significant amount of time to get set up, but once I got the hang of it, it permanently fixed the issues I had with my home lab. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_ran_Arch_for_a_year_before_realizing_I_should_have_used CachyOS⠀⇛ Arch Linux kept me entertained for a full year, which is exactly the kind of compliment that’s also a warning label. I loved the control, the clarity, and the feeling that my system only contained what I intentionally put there. I also spent a surprising amount of time rebuilding “my ideal setup” after updates, driver changes, or one ill-advised tweak. Eventually, I realized I wasn’t chasing minimalism anymore, I was chasing stability without giving up the Arch ecosystem. CachyOS is where that year of Arch tinkering finally made sense. It still feels like Arch under the hood, but it stops rewarding you for reinventing the same wheel every few weeks. The best part is that it doesn’t ask you to abandon the Arch way of doing things, it just trims the unglamorous busywork. That shift is what made me wish I’d started there. * ⚓ XDA ☛ 4_Linux_distros_you_should_use_instead_of_upgrading_to_Windows 11⠀⇛ You're finally ready to leave Microsoft's ecosystem and try the dreaded Linux, but which distribution (distro) should you use? Like many things in the open source community, you have an almost abundance of choice, with heavy hitters like Ubuntu and newcomers including Pop!_OS. Although there's no wrong answer for which distro you should use as your first Linux installation, I've rounded up some of my personal favorites that should make the switch easy for Windows users. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Cool_Linux_distributions_you_should_try_out_this_weekend⠀⇛ As a staunch member of the Linux faction, I could list plenty of reasons why I love its ecosystem. But above all else, I adore the sheer number of distros I get to experiment with. And I’m not talking about Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, or other classic Linux flavors. Once you dig deep into the Linux iceberg, you’ll come across a wide variety of distributions that range from obscure and handy flavors to downright chaotic messes with surprisingly useful features. Heck, certain flavors fit all these descriptions at the same time! So, here’s a quick piece featuring a couple of niche yet fun distributions you can chart on your distro-hopping roadmap this weekend. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1746 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/24/OmegaLinux_switches_from_Ubuntu_to_Arch_in_2026_02_21_release.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/24/OmegaLinux_switches_from_Ubuntu_to_Arch_in_2026_02_21_release.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ OmegaLinux switches from Ubuntu to Arch in 2026.02.21 release⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Feb 24, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇OmegaLinux_2026.02.21⦈_ Quoting: OmegaLinux switches from Ubuntu to Arch in 2026.02.21 release — Based on Lubuntu until now, OmegaLinux is taking a huge step forward with yesterday's release, which marks the first step into the Arch Linux world.

Because of that, the initial ethical standpoint of the Free Software foundation was that it's fine to run a non-free operating system, as long as all the software you run on that operating system is free. Initially this was just the editor. But as time went on, and the FSF managed to write more and more parts of the software stack, their ethical stance moved with the times. This was a, very reasonable, pragmatic stance: if you don't accept using a non-free operating system and there isn't a free operating system yet, then obviously you can't write that free operating system, and the world won't move towards a point where free operating systems exist. In the early 1990s, when Linus initiated the Linux kernel, the situation reached the point where the original dream of a fully free software stack was complete. Or so it would appear. Because, in fact, this was not the case. Computers are physical objects, composed of bits of technology that we refer to as "hardware", but in order for these bits of technology to communicate with other bits of technology in the same computer system, they need to interface with each other, usually using some form of bus protocol. These bus protocols can get very complicated, which means that a bit of software is required in order to make all the bits communicate with each other properly. Generally, this software is referred to as "firmware", but don't let that name deceive you; it's really just a bit of low-level software that is very specific to one piece of hardware. Sometimes it's written in an imperative high-level language; sometimes it's just a set of very simple initialization vectors. But whatever the case might be, it's always a bit of software.

The virtualization layer is based on Linux-specific features like namespaces, cgroups, and capabilities to provide isolation of different guest operating system stacks on top of a single, shared Linux kernel. * ⚓ This_Is_the_Most_Overkill_Raspberry_Pi_5_Cooler_I’ve_Ever_Built⠀⇛ The Pi 5 is the most powerful Raspberry Pi that is currently on the market, and with the increase in power comes an increase in heat. * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ OpenClaw_Alternatives_That_You_Can_Run_on_Raspberry_Pi_Like Devices⠀⇛ You don't need a MacMini for running OpenClaw. These alternative projects can run on SBCs and ESP32 microcontrollers. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Atom_E3950_Powers_WINSYSTEMS_SBC-ZETA-3950_Rugged_Mini SBC⠀⇛ The SBC-ZETA-3950 uses the quad-core Intel Atom E3950 processor running at 1.6 GHz (2.0 GHz burst), with 2MB L2 cache and a 12W base power envelope. * ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Meet_the_organiser_of_one_of_the_longest-running Raspberry_Pi_community_events⠀⇛ Automation is something a lot of Raspberry Pi enthusiasts are into, but this month’s subject, Richard Kirby, takes it to a whole other level: “My work time is consumed as a test manager at a multinational company that develops and deploys large railway automation systems throughout the world,” he tells us. “The system is largely automated, with signallers and train operators only intervening as needed — this includes automated driving of the trains.” * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ MIT-developed_3D_printer_can_output_a_fully_functional electric_motor_in_a_single_process_—_team_only_needed_to_magnetize_the linear_motor_after_printing,_motors_cost_just_50_cents_each⠀⇛ Most existing extrusion 3D printers can only switch between two different materials, so MIT News reported that the team built their own system and retrofitted to an existing printer. They then used that to build a linear motor in about three hours, which only needed to be magnetized post-printing to become fully functional. More importantly, the final product worked just as well or even better than those that were built using traditional manufacturing methods, and the total cost in materials amounted to just about 50 cents. * ⚓ Dark Reading ☛ Enigma_Cipher_Device_Still_Holds_Secrets_for_Cyber Pros⠀⇛ The Enigma machine was created by German Arthur Scherbius in 1918 as a way to protect sensitive information coming across telegraph lines for banks and business. A quirky-looking typewriter, it could be used to code and decode messages easily. Scherbius's device was subsequently nationalized and modified by the Nazis to add even more complexity to the cryptography, and was used with wild success in the German war effort — until 1932, when Polish cryptographers secretly broke the code. The Polish team didn't share their findings until 1939, when it was given to British Intelligence and sent to The Government Code and Cipher School at Bletchley Park, where it was put to work against the Nazi army and is credited as a huge contributor to the Allied Forces victory. * ⚓ Chris Aldrich ☛ Rubber_Grommet_Repair_on_Remington_Super-Riters_and Standards⠀⇛ As rubber replacement is one of the necessary and sometimes more finnicky parts of typewriter restoration, I thought it would be useful to write up the details of a small recent repair for others as well as my future self. * ⚓ The Arcade Blogger ☛ Taito_Space_Invaders_Restoration_1⠀⇛ I haven’t acquired any new cabinets for some time now. In fact, I’ve thinned the herd significantly over the past couple of years, after downsizing my living arrangements. So much so, that I’m down to three key cabinets from twelve. These are ones that I really want to keep long term. You can’t take them with you! So a recent arcade raid (more on that in a future post) turned up a nice Taito upright Space Invaders. I had no intention, or space for that matter, to take on another project, but it struck me in all my years of collecting, I’ve never owned a Space Invaders cabinet. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2059 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/24/Open_Hardware_Modding_Valnet_on_SBCs_HexOS_Homelabs_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/24/Open_Hardware_Modding_Valnet_on_SBCs_HexOS_Homelabs_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: Valnet on SBCs, HexOS, Homelabs and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 24, 2026 * ⚓ XDA ☛ 6_microcontroller_projects_that_used_to_require_a_full_SBC running_Linux⠀⇛ A few years ago, the default answer to almost any “tiny computer” project was a full single-board computer running Linux. That made sense, because you got drivers, packages, a real filesystem, and every network tool under the sun. Today’s microcontrollers have been quietly amassing superpowers, and the ecosystem around them has matured in ways that change what “needs Linux” even means. These projects are the proof, and they are the kind of proof that fits in the palm of your hand. * ⚓ XDA ☛ HexOS_is_doing_for_NAS_software_what_Ubuntu_did_for_Linux desktops⠀⇛ Much has been said about HexOS, the up-and-coming operating system for NAS devices that aims to provide a more friendly user experience. When it's built on a foundation as strong as TrueNAS, which nis available for free for consumers, yet it asks for $199 for the privilege of using it (for now), it's fair to be skeptical. But HexOS is doing something very important for NAS software: making it more easily accessible to everyone. In a way, it's very similar to what Ubuntu did for the Linux desktop. It may not make sense if you're already deep into the ecosystem, but it has the widest appeal for the majority of the public, and it could help popularize this kind of product. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Homelab_projects_to_try_this_weekend_(February_13_-_15)⠀⇛ This weekend, I challenge you to try at least one of these homelab projects. You don’t have to deploy all three, but I’m sure you could benefit from a more private search engine, a “works anywhere” code server, or a self-hosted private budget system. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Don't_set_up_Nginx_Proxy_Manager—use_this_instead_for_your Homelab⠀⇛ Are you looking for the best way to open your self-hosted services up to the internet? Whether you’re wanting to host your own website at home or play Minecraft with friends, Cloudflare Tunnels is what you should use—not Nginx Proxy Manager. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ This_free_firmware_made_my_old_router_useful_again_(and safer)⠀⇛ That old Wi-Fi 4 router you have sitting in a box collecting dust probably isn't up to the job of running a multi-gigabit network, but that doesn't make it useless. With a software update, you can turn it into a specialized piece of equipment for your self-hosting needs. § Routers age like computers We don't normally think of routers as computers, but they are. They have a CPU, RAM, and storage, just like any other. As time goes on and as software and user demands increase, they can't perform as well as they used to. That is why your old Wi-Fi 4 router will likely struggle to consistently deliver gigabit speeds, while even an inexpensive modern router can easily handle it. Additionally, routers, like any other computer, eventually wind up collecting dust that makes it harder for them to operate at the ideal temperature, especially if they're already running near their max. * § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ This_is_the_easiest_way_to_run_Linux_distros_on_your Android_phone⠀⇛ You can run pretty much any popular Linux distribution on your Android phone in a few simple steps. With the right scripts, you can even install a fully-featured GUI distro with the desktop environment and window manager of your choice. Let me show you how. § Use Linux within a terminal If you only need the command-line interface for the Linux you're trying to install, Termux is the simplest option. Among the many cool things it can do, Termux allows you to install and run many distros within its shell. It's a lot like the Windows Subsystem for Linux, which provides you with a full Linux distro within the terminal. Start by installing Termux. It's available on the Play Store, but that version is heavily restricted and not updated regularly. The real version of the app is hosted on F-Droid (a free and open-source app store for Android). You can either install the F-Droid store or download the APK file from F-Droid and sideload it. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2196 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/24/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/24/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 24, 2026 * ⚓ Philip Zucker ☛ An_Associative-Commutative_(AC)_Hash_Cons_with_AC matching⠀⇛ There is an approach to problem solving where you take simpler and simpler subproblems until they are quite obvious, and then you build back up to the thing you want. People want an egraph that supports associativity and commutativty without blowing up. A step in that direction is to look at what an AC hash cons looks like * ⚓ Maryanne Wachter ☛ Six_Months_of_C⠀⇛ The past year has brought a lot of changes, not the least of which is that I'm now working primarily in C after a few years of web development in NodeJS/React/general JavaScript land. There's some irony to this given that in my first PyCon talk back in 2022, I proudly declared that I wanted to write as little C/C++ as possible when reimplementing a constraint library in Python using Cython. However, I've never been particularly happy with high levels of abstraction and black-box implementations going back to my days of frustration with structural engineering software, so maybe it's fitting now that I'm working at a lower level and pursuing performant programming in C. Of course, the switch has meant working with a completely different toolset than I've used in the past, and learning a lot about Emacs along the way. * ⚓ MaskRay ☛ Bit-field_layout⠀⇛ Clang implements both ABIs in clang/lib/AST/ RecordLayoutBuilder.cpp. It processes bit-fields in two distinct phases: [...] * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Rakulang ☛ Rakudo_Weekly_2026.08_Positional_Adverbs⠀⇛ Resolutions #3 The third meeting was held on 21 February 2026 at 19:00 UTC. Four out of five long-standing issues were closed. Details of the discussions were minuted here. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Hillel Wayne ☛ Some_Silly_Z3_Scripts_I_Wrote⠀⇛ As part of writing Logic for Programmers I produced a lot of “chaff”, code samples and sections I wrote up and then threw away. Sometimes I found a better example for the same topic, sometimes I threw the topic away entirely. It felt bad to let everything all rot on my hard drive, so I’m sharing a bunch of chaff for a tool called “Z3”, which has all sorts of uses in software research. First an explanation of what this tool actually is, and then some scripts in order of increasing interestingness. All examples will use the Python bindings (pip install z3-solver). * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Paweł Grzybek ☛ No_temp_variables_needed_for_pointers_in_Go 1.26⠀⇛ Go 1.26 makes this a lot simpler by extending the functionality of the built-in new function. In addition to taking a type as an argument just to return its zero value, it now also accepts an expression. All the examples from above become one-liners. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Niko_Matsakis:_What_it_means_that_Ubuntu_is_using_Rust⠀⇛ Righty-ho, I’m back from Rust Nation, and busily horrifying my teenage daughter with my (admittedly atrocious) attempts at doing an English accent1. It was a great trip with a lot of good conversations and some interesting observations. I am going to try to blog about some of them, starting with some thoughts spurred by Jon Seager’s closing keynote, “Rust Adoption At Scale with Ubuntu”. o ⚓ Rust Blog ☛ The_Rust_Programming_Language_Blog:_Rust_debugging survey_2026⠀⇛ We're launching a Rust_Debugging_Survey. Various issues with debugging Rust code are often mentioned as one of the biggest challenges that annoy Rust developers. While it is definitely possible to debug Rust code today, there are situations where it does not work well enough, and the quality of debugging support also varies a lot across different debuggers and operating systems. o ⚓ LWN ☛ The_Ladybird_browser_project_shifts_to_Rust⠀⇛ The Ladybird browser project has announced a move to the Rust programming language: [...] ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2347 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/24/Recent_XDA_Articles_on_Proxmox.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/24/Recent_XDA_Articles_on_Proxmox.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Recent XDA Articles on Proxmox⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 24, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Proxmox⦈_ * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_love_Proxmox_community_scripts,_but_a_single_command_executes_8 remote_scripts_as_root⠀⇛ If you run a Proxmox server, you've almost certainly come across the Proxmox VE Helper Scripts. With over 400 scripts covering everything from Home Assistant to Plex to Ollama, they let you spin up fully configured LXC containers with a single command. They're brilliant, and I use them regularly. But I would never, ever run one without reading it first, and neither should you. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Automating_my_Proxmox_backups_was_the_peace_of_mind_my_home_lab needed⠀⇛ Backing up virtual guests on a regular basis is a tenet that echoes throughout the home lab community, and for good reason. With how experimental DIY projects can get, you could end up bricking your server nodes beyond recognition by accidentally modifying the wrong config file. That may not sound like a big deal during your early days, but when you’ve got dozens of containers and virtual machines, the last thing you'd want is to rebuild your virtual guests from scratch. But that brings us to the hassle of manually backing everything up. Fortunately, Proxmox offers a bunch of backup and snapshot facilities that helped me safeguard my painstakingly created virtual guest collection from my tinkering machinations. The best part? It’s all automated, so I can work on my experiments without worrying about backing up all the LXCs and VMs manually. * ⚓ XDA ☛ This_lightweight_tool_changes_everything_for_multi-node_Proxmox setups⠀⇛ Between its KVM-based virtualization prowess, LXC support, SDN stack, and cluster support, Proxmox has plenty of tricks up its sleeves. But having tried other home lab platforms, I consider Proxmox’s first-party services and community-created tools one of its biggest perks. For example, Proxmox Backup Server can make your experimentation lab more foolproof with its powerful snapshot-centric utilities, on top of providing an easy way to create automated 3-2-1 backups. Then there’s the Proxmox Datacenter Manager – a tool that hit its first official release a few weeks ago after months of alpha and beta builds. It may not seem all that useful for newcomers with a single PVE system, but PDM is a godsend when your home lab includes independent Proxmox workstations and clustered nodes. * ⚓ XDA ☛ 4_Proxmox_backup_mistakes_that_could_cost_you_everything⠀⇛ Backups are undoubtedly important for your daily driver, and their utility goes up significantly when you step into the home lab domain. So much so that one of the first tips you’d come across on home server forums would be about creating regular backups of essential data. After all, when you’ve spent days building a robust army of containers and virtual guests, the last thing you’d want is for a misconfigured config file to render your entire server irrecoverable. Fortunately, Proxmox packs many advanced backup features compared to other virtualization platforms, while still making them easier to access even for beginners. That said, you might want to avoid these pitfalls when creating a backup workflow for your Proxmox workstations. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Proxmox_taught_me_more_about_Linux_in_a_month_than_a_year_of distro-hopping⠀⇛ Linux powers more things than you might think, and if you're someone interested in running a home server, you've probably heard of Proxmox. Proxmox is a Linux-based operating system focusing on virtualization and running containers that can provide services for your entire network. And because it's used for this very specific use case, Proxmox is also something of a crash course for using Linux. I wasn't unfamiliar with the platform by the time I set up Proxmox, but I definitely learned a whole lot more about Linux this way than I ever had just using a Linux desktop.

Most of the work I do is in complex web backends, and there's so much risk of not having all the request processing and middleware and setup exactly the same in a mock test... you must do at least some end-to-end tests or you're making a gamble that's going to bite you. * ⚓ peppe8o ☛ How_to_Use_Tailscale_on_Raspberry_PI_with_Docker_(and_Secure Remote_Access_to_Your_Home_LAN)⠀⇛ Last Updated on 23rd February 2026 by peppe8o This tutorial will show you how to deploy Tailscale on Raspberry PI computer boards as a Docker container, giving your smartphone (or any Tailscale device) full access to your LAN services like Home Assistant, NAS, routers, and self-hosted apps. * ⚓ Kevin McDonald ☛ IRC_Log:_The_Cloud_Scale_Incident⠀⇛ An archived log from the #dev-help channel on the Freenode (RIP) afterlife network. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Yarn_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Yarn is one of the most trusted JavaScript package managers in the developer ecosystem.

It is a requirement. As cloud storage subscriptions grow more expensive and data breaches continue making headlines, more system administrators and developers are turning to self-hosted solutions. ownCloud is one of the most trusted open- source file synchronization and sharing platforms available today — and for good reason. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Zed_Code_Editor_on_Linux_Mint_22⠀⇛ If you’ve been searching for a faster, leaner alternative to VS Code that actually feels native on GNU/Linux — Zed is worth your full attention. Built entirely in Rust and rendered through the GPU, the Zed code editor delivers a development experience that’s both blazingly quick and elegantly minimal. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_PrestaShop_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Running your own e-commerce store on a self-managed GNU/ Linux server gives you control that no shared hosting plan ever will. PrestaShop is one of the most powerful open-source shopping cart platforms available today — and pairing it with Debian 13 (codenamed Trixie) creates a rock-solid foundation for any online business. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_GLPI_on_Linux_Mint_22⠀⇛ Managing IT infrastructure without a proper system in place quickly turns into a nightmare. Tickets get lost, hardware assets go untracked, and support teams waste hours chasing down information that should be at their fingertips. GLPI solves all of that — for free. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Certbot_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Running your website without HTTPS in 2025 is a serious mistake.

I feel like i’m in a long period of change, and if like me you participate in the tech industry and open source then you probably feel the same. It’s going to be a wild time to look back on. As humans we’re naturally drawn to exciting new changes. Its not just the tech industry. The Spanish transport minister recently announced ambicious plans to run trains at record speeds of 350km/h. Then two tragic accidents happened, apparently due to careless infrastructure maintenance. Its easy (and valid) to criticise the situation. But I can sympathise too. You don’t see many news reports saying “Infrastructure is being maintained really well at the moment and there haven’t been any accidents for years”. We all just take that shit for granted. # ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Gnome,_GSettings,_gconf,_and_which one_you_want⠀⇛ Gnome has had at least two settings systems, GSettings/dconf (also) and the older GConf. If you're using a modern Gnome program, especially a standard Gnome program like gnome-terminal, it will use GSettings and you will want to use dconf-editor to modify its settings outside of whatever Preferences dialogs it gives you (or doesn't give you). You can also use the gsettings or dconf programs from the command line. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ XDA ☛ Don't_install_another_Linux_distro_until_you've_tried_an immutable_one⠀⇛ Sometimes, developers get so engrossed with making the best app possible that some of the basics get left behind. I understand it; if you're doing something amazing and you're going full steam ahead, all the small quality-of-life features seem like minor tweaks compared to all the glorious new tools and features you want to add to your app. However, users do enjoy things that make their lives easier, and if you skimp on them, they will let you know. Such was the case for users of the Ghostty terminal, which lacked a scroll bar and forced people to either use the scroll wheel or keyboard keys to move around. Well, the developers have finally caved and added a scroll bar to the app, which was one of the most requested features since its pre-release build in 2023. o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ NetBSD ☛ The_NetBSD_Foundation_will_participate_in Surveillance_Giant_Google_Summer_of_Code_2026!⠀⇛ We are happy to announce that The NetBSD Foundation will participate in Google Summer of Code 2026!

With so many websites selling Steam keys, there's usually one website that has it on a deep discount, as long as it's a few months old. Even if Steam hasn't got it on sale, there are always sites like GOG and Humble Bundle you can check out.

However, something noteworthy happened in 2025: Linux surpassed 5% of the US desktop market share, with Windows losing market share. It doesn't make the joke irrelevant, but it takes some bite out of it. If you argue that growth isn't the only significant element required to crown a desktop environment, you would be right. Certain conversations may even matter more — gaming systems, immutable distros, and OEM systems — and you would expect a thriving desktop to be mentioned in these discussions. These are the circles in which KDE Plasma appears in 2026. It may not be the year of the Linux desktop just yet, but in the Linux ecosystem, 2026 is primed to be the year of the KDE Linux desktop.

Pick a distro based on convenience or support, install it once, tweak it slowly, and then try not to think too hard about what is happening under the hood. That is fine, and often sensible, but sometimes, it is worth looking at the edges of the ecosystem, where people are asking stranger questions and building operating systems around them. What makes many of these distros especially interesting is that some of them do not even treat installation as a required step in the traditional sense. A system might be rebuilt declaratively, provisioned over an API, or dropped onto hardware as an image rather than installed interactively. These distros are not meant to replace your daily driver in every case. They exist because someone decided that a specific problem mattered enough to redesign the whole system around it (sometimes to an alarming degree). Even if you never install them, they are useful as thought experiments, and in a few cases, they might fit your workflow better than you expect.
