Due to the addition of the Wayland session, several core apps have been changed to ones that support both Wayland and X11 sessions for a seamless experience. As such, nitrogen was replaced by xwwall and feh, tint2 by xfce4-panel, lxappearance by nwg-look, arandr by lxrandr, and policykit-1-gnome by mate- polkit.

The boutique nature of the parties involved brings a peek to a side of the open source economy that’s not often covered by tech media. The company being sold is SimplyPHP, a company that shops its team of developers out to companies that need help developing PHP-based software projects. PHP is an open source server-side scripting language that’s the driver for many online services. The content management system that served you this FOSS Force article uses PHP, for example. SimplyPHP’s small team of developers — around 33 according to one estimate — work remotely for companies across the globe to help build applications that have included everything from an electronic data capture system for a pan‑Canadian cancer registry, to multiple client‑facing products in Laravel — a PHP-based web framework for building web apps — and other custom PHP frameworks for a US-based client management company.

Or, another question to ask is, what does the technology you use actually do to you? Andy has this_excellent_new_article_this afternoon. To quote a portion of it: "The European Commission is all set on "digital sovereignty" and Britain needs to be too. But ve aware that "digital sovereignty" also means state control over technology. We think that tech should be properly governed but we must also ensure that reflects true democratic will, not parochial power. Hint: nobody votes for mass surveillance or mandatory ID. [...] Most importantly there's a Software Freedom Movement that has been around to 40 years! It's based on a simple, examinable set of principles that have stood the test of time and created the foundations of modern software. Most of the code that runs the world, and code that enabled companies like Google and Apple to even exist, is Free Open Source Software (FOSS). FOSS is software built by the people for the people. It's created mostly by unpaid volunteers and academics long before commercial organisations come to "invest" in it. Both Apple iOS and Google Android phones are based on free Unix variants like Linux and BSD, but repackaged for big-brand names." █ =============================================================================== Image source: wire ⠿⡇⣾⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡼⣿⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠉⠁⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⡿⣁⣴⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣆⣠⠌⣻⠸⠏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣟⢿⣾⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣿⣟⣛⣛⣛⣻⡿⢿⢟⣼⣿⡿⠑⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿ ⠿⣿⡄⡇⠀⠆⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⡯⣭⣩⡻⠤⣤⡄⣤⣤⣤⣴⣿⢰⣿⣏⢳⠙⣿⣿⣿⡻⣛⣥⣴⣿⣿⣿⢡⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⠟⣩⢛⣿⣿⡿⠋⠉⣉⠻⠿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⠟⠉ ⡿⡶⠀⣶⡶⣆⣸⣟⣿⣿⢿⠿⠋⢠⡮⢛⠃⢻⢿⣿⠎⠁⣹⣿⣿⡯⣿⢸⣿⣿⣆⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣽⣿⢟⣁⢾⣣⣿⣿⣯⠞⣉⡯⢛⣁⣤⣛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢋⠀⠀ ⣧⣤⣾⡿⡟⣅⢸⣿⣿⣷⣔⠂⢀⡿⣿⠍⡀⢈⢁⠈⠀⠗⢿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣣⣾⣿⣷⣿⣟⣱⡿⠋⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣝⢯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠹⠟⡑⠂⠀⠀ ⣿⠟⢫⢙⡀⠘⣷⣤⣍⠉⠹⠁⢨⡇⠈⠀⣿⠺⣶⢺⠘⣠⣜⣻⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⡿⣿⠿⠟⠛⣛⣟⣛⠻⣿⣿⣷⡶⢟⣵⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣌⣦⡜⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣎⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣴⡦⢬⢺⡀⠀⠈⢝⣿⣿⠛⠀⠈⡇⠃⣧⢹⡎⢭⣽⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣙⡳⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣦⡉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡜⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡇⣿⣿⡇⡥⢰⣦⡙⠀⢀⠀⠀⠇⢸⣿⣎⢷⣘⣟⣿⢏⢿⣿⡟⢭⣾⣿⣿⣷⢹⣿⣿⡿⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢹⢹⣿⣿⠟⡅⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣗⣉⣉⣿⣧⠈⡻⠇⡆⢨⠟⠀⢸⠈⣿⣿⣎⢧⠘⣿⣯⠋⢡⣶⢸⣿⣿⡿⠟⠙⡇⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣈⡻⠟⣁⣘⡯⣔⢉⢿⣿⣿⣿⡻⣿⣦⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠈⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣧⡀⣿⢸⣿⡆⠘⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⡣⠈⢠⣾⣿⣡⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣷⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⡉⠿⠋⣿⡙⢿⣿⣾⣏⡧⠹⣿⣿⣿⣌⢿⣷⡀⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡅⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢠⣜⠛⠁⠀⢿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢀⣠⡽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⣿⣿⣷⣻⣿⣦⠉⣿⣧⢃⢤⢿⣿⣿⣿⣮⡛⢷⡄⠀⠩⣭⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⡿⣧⠀⠀⠈⢇⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣆⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣇⠘⣿⣸⡆⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠠⠖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣧⣜⣷⡿⠀⠀⠀⠘⢧⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣏⠻⣿⣄⡏⣿⣷⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤ ⠿⠿⠚⠀⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⣿⡧⣶⣄⠀⣀⠀⠨⣷⣌⣛⠋⠉⠁⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣧⠰⢼⡏⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠼⠟⢻⣙⣚⣏⡀⡄⠘⢿⣿⠁⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣟⣿⣿⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢹⣿⡆⢸⣧⢰⡉⠻⠛⢛⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣸⡆⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢥⡄⠀⣇⢀⣴⣎⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠈⢿⣿⡄⠘⠂⠁⠰⣆⣷⣼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣬⣍⣭ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⡅⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⡷⣦⠈⠊⢿⣿⣷⡹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⢋⣉⣀⣼⡿⠇⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⢄⢻⡜⠹⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⡆⣶⣶⣶⢺⣶⣾⣶⡄⠀⣇⣽⣿⣟⣛⣻⣿⣇⣿⣐⠀⠘⢿⣿⡷⠈⠻⢿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢛⣭⣤⣾⣿⡿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡃⢟⣛⣛⣻⡻⠻⠿⢿⣇⣿⣿⣿⡏⣿⣿⣿⢹⡟⣩⠀⠰⡈⢻⡛⠄⠑⠀⡝⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿ ⡗⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢴⡏⡿⢹⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣶⣷⣼⡅⠀⡟⢀⠉⠐⠀⢧⠘⠇⢦⢉⠉⠛⠛⠉⠈⠁⠉⠉⣍⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠄⡏⣇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡆⠁⢸⢠⠀⠀⠠⢧⠀⠘⢿⡇⠹⣾⠚⠀⡀⢠⠑⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣗⣿⣗⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣄⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡇⠀⢸⣶⠀⠀⠀⠈⡄⠠⢸⡧⢳⣻⡂⠶⠓⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⢠⡄⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠈⣿⢃⠀⠀⢸⡧⢸⡿⡧⢸⡏⡇⣨⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠇⠚⣿⢿⡿ ⠿⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠙⠙⠋⢻⣿⢿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⢀⣿⡧⠀⠹⣸⠃⢸⢀⡇⢸⡇⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣂⠀⡀⢸⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡜⢳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⠁⡀⢠⢸⣿⢡⠀⠇⣿⣄⢰⣾⠇⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠁⠀⢀⣿⢀⣼⣿⣿⡿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠈⠁⠈⢼⣿⠀⠀⠠⣿⣿⣽⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⡟⠀⢉⢻⠙⢴ ⢀⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⢀⣼⢿⣿⣧⣛⠛⣿⣿⣿⡻⣯⠆⠀⠀⣾⡏⠀⠀⢰⣿⢻⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⡇⠰⣾⣾⣾⣿ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⣦⢼⠙⣿⡀⠿⠘⠟⠀⠛⠀⠘⠐⢸⠁⢀⢠⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢦⠁⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⠃⠄⣹⡇⣞⣿ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠈⣿⢿⣇⣹⠸⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠈⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⢸⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⡯⣧⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⠠⢈⣦⣶⣿⣿ ⢹⣶⣶⣾⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⡇⠻⢻⣻⣿⢸⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⢸⠀⠀⢀⣼⢿⣿⣿⡧⠀⠸⣉⣋⣯⣭ ⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⢰⣮⡉⠃⢸⣷⣽⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡹⣧⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⡠⠀⢠⣾⣟⢹⢻⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠼⠧⠛⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⡟⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠅⠀⣸⣿⡻⠈⣽⡟⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣂⡉⠙⠋⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣷⣿⡿⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢂⠀⣰⡄⣿⢻⡃⠆⣹⡇⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⠸⡿⣿⣿⡷⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣇⢿⡼⡇⠀⠸⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡰⢿⣿⡇⢳⢻⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⡴⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡸⣷⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⠀⢠⠱⡌⠘⣿⡇⠈⢿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠘⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠀⢈⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣧⠹⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣀⣶⣤⣤⣤⣄⠀⣶⣿⣿⢿⣿⣟⢻⣭⣽⠀⠀⡆⢇⢹⠀⣿⡧⠀⠀⣇⢇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠢⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣣⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⡀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⢰⢦⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡼⢿⣿⣖⠀⠸⡌⡏⠀⡟⠃⠰⠇⣿⡌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠸⢗⢻⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠁⡸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠘⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣏⣧⢠⣀⣨⣻⡄⠀⠹⠁⠀⡁⢀⣷⠀⠘⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠃⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢿⡶⢘⡿⠟⠛⠋⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⣾⣳⢶⣰⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠳⠦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⡆⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡃⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠄⢸⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣾⣶⠶⠏⠙⡐⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣃⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣇⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠰⣷⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⣭⣴⣿⣤⡼⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡧⣼⣿⣿⣟⣛⣹⣿⡇⠰⢟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⢻⡼⣿⣿⡏⣽⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⢛⢛⣛ ⣇⢻⣸⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣷⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣷⡻⣿⢻⡋⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢷⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡟⣏⣻⣿⣷⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣎⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⢺⣿⢿⠿⣿ ⣿⣿⡽⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠈⠀⡿⢸⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠿⠞⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢻⣼⣷⣼ ⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣷⢹⣧⢀⣀⣠⣤⣤⡠⢤⡄⣤⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⢹⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣘⢸⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⣻⣿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣾⡟⣀⣻⣟⣫⣯⣤⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⠙ ⣿⣷⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀ ⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠲⢤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣭⡇⢠⣤⣤⡄⣀⣤⡄⠘⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 407 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/28/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/28/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Feb 28, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇cargo-seek⦈_ * ⚓ cargo-seek_-_search,_add_and_install_cargo_crates_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ cargo-seek is a terminal user interface (TUI) for searching, adding and installing cargo crates.

It’s not just possible, for many gamers it’s preferred. There was a time when the idea of gaming on Linux was a pipedream, but today, a large portion of Windows games run on Linux right out of the box. At the time of writing, Valve has verified more than 25,000 titles as Playable on Linux through Steam alone. Combine the Steam numbers with Lutris for retro games and Heroic Launcher for Epic Games Store and GOG, and the catalog of available games to play on Linux is staggering and continues to grow. * ⚓ Godot Engine ☛ Godot_Showcase_-_Buckshot_Roulette⠀⇛ Mike Klubnika tells us about his experience working on Buckshot Roulette. * ⚓ Nolen Royalty ☛ really_easy_tetris_·_eieio.games⠀⇛ There are pink starbursts and bad starbursts. And there are I- block tetris pieces and bad tetris pieces. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Bazzite_triples_its_userbase_in_8_months_as_gamers_seek_a_Windows alternative⠀⇛ People have begun to wake up to the idea that, in some situations, installing a gaming-oriented Linux distro will give you a better experience than Windows 11. Once pinned as the one operating system you don't want to use if you care about gaming, Linux has since made leaps and bounds with tech like Proton, which allows games to run on the FOSS operating system without the game's developers lifting a finger. Bazzite is among the more common recommendations for people looking to move away from Windows. It's a top-tier choice for both desktops and handhelds, and we've seen people replace Windows 11 on both to move away from Microsoft's ecosystem. In fact, the official Bazzite website is reporting that it has over tripled the number of users it had this time in June 2025, so they're clearly doing something right. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⣀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢩⣿⡇⠀⢁⣈⣀⣠⣀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣟⢈⣿⡃⢘⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠒⠶⠶⣶⣶⠄⠀⠘⠛⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⣠⣤⣬⣭⣭⣤⣤⣤⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣉⠉⠉⡉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣿⣥⣤⣤⣤⡤⡤⣤⣤⢤⡤⢀⣠⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⢤⣠⡠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣩⣿⢾⣿⣾⣋⣿⣿⣿⡇⣭⣭⣭⣽⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣭⣽⣭⣭⣭⣽⣯⣷⣷⣵⣦⣶⣾⣷⣯⣧⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣫⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢻⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⠀⠘⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣤⣤⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠃⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠘⡄⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠁⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢀⣹⡿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⣰⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠸⡀⠸⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⢿⣿⣺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣰⡆⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠛ ⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⢟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠿⠟⠛⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠓⠒⠒⠒⠒⠲⠶⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⠀⡀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣏⠀⠀⢹⣿⣯⣭⣶⣾⣦⡀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣶⣶⣤⣄⣀⠀ ⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣭⣟⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠛⠻⠿⢿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣷⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣔⣤⣠⣄⣠⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠠⡀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⠉⠀⠀⠙⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣄ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 688 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/28/Games_OrangePi_Neo_Gambonanza_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/28/Games_OrangePi_Neo_Gambonanza_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: OrangePi Neo, Gambonanza, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 28, 2026 * ⚓ The_OrangePi_Neo_gaming_handheld_with_Manjaro_Linux_is_now_"on_ice"_due to_component_prices_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ The latest update for the OrangePi Neo handheld with Manjaro Linux is not a positive one, with the whole thing now unfortunately "on ice".

New microcontrollers often have issues when they are first released, leading companies to issue errata listing bugs and potential fixes, as we’ve previously seen with the Raspberry Pi RP2350 A4 stepping, which fixes the E9 GPIO Erratum with a new revision of the silicon. Espressif identified three issues with the ESP32-C5: PSRAM Reset Hang – When ESP32-C5 series chips run ESP-IDF v5.5.1 with PSRAM enabled, CPU or digital reset operations may hang. This triggers a secondary RTC WDT reset. If the rollback feature (CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_APP_ROLLBACK_ENABLE, disabled by default) is enabled, this sequence may result in an OTA rollback. * ⚓ Petter_Reinholdtsen:_Free_software_toolchain_for_the_simplest_RISC- V_CPU_in_a_small_FPGA?⠀⇛ On Wednesday I had the pleasure of attending a presentation organized by the_Norwegian_Unix_Users_Group on implementing RISC-V_using_a_small_FPGA.

The ongoing component shortages have clearly claimed many victims, with the Neo handheld being the latest. However, the project has not been shelved and is still very much alive - the only thing that is now uncertain is the launch window. That said, considering the lack of any positive updates surrounding the supply chain issues plaguing consumer tech companies, the future appears to be quite grim for small-timers like Orange Pi.

The series will show the pertinent details and raise serious questions about the legal occupation/profession in the UK, as well as the so- called 'regulator'. █ =============================================================================== Image source: March ⣿⡟⠋⠛⠋⠉⠉⣿⣿⣿⣯⡿⡟⠈⢬⣷⠊⢒⠏⢺⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⢯⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣾⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣭⣾⣾⣾⣷⣿⣻⣿⣿ ⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡇⠑⠀⡄⠠⣽⠁⠈⠋⠛⠋⣩⢈⡿⣿⢹⣿⠉⢀⠈⣍⠾⠙⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣻⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠚⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣻⡿⢩⡹⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣷⣦⣀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡇⠂⣀⡞⠀⠄⢦⢀⡰⠀⠗⠄⢹⣾⣿⣷⢰⡟⢉⠳⢋⡈⠈⠁⣬⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣇⣿⣿⣿⣁⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠉⠓⢈⡆⠘⠈⢿⡉⣀⢀⣿⣿⠉⡰⠏⢀⣩⠎⠙⣷⣿⣫⡙⡯⣿⣏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢻⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣿⣿⡯⠊⠀⠉⠀⠑⢟⠀⠘⠇⢉⢠⡔⡇⢀⣠⡾⠃⡏⠿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⣷⣿⡷⡷⢿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣷⢽⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⡏⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠈⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿ ⡟⠻⠿⣿⣮⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡗⠀⠀⠤⡄⠃⠈⠛⠀⢀⠌⠀⢸⠃⢠⡿⢓⠄⠀⢰⣿⠀⢽⣿⡟⢻⣿⣿⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢛⣿⣿⢟⣰⣗⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡴⣐⣿⣿⣿⡗⠀⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠻⢷⣮⣟⡇⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠂⡙⠀⠀⢀⢀⣀⢀⣤⡠⣴⣿⣇⠀⠘⢿⠀⠃⣿⣿⣿⣾⡿⡻⡷⣿⠋⠸⠒⠛⢻⡾⢛⣿⣿⣯⡟⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠁⢇⡶⣿⡷⠀⣿⠇ ⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢿⡏⠠⡠⠀⢀⠀⠀⠆⠀⠁⠀⠐⣮⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⣾⣿⠏⠀⠀⠄⠀⢸⢻⣿⣿⣯⣿⣷⡔⢸⠆⠀⠉⣹⠟⠐⣩⣿⣿⣏⣵⣿⣧⣽⣿⣿⣟⣋⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢨⡉⡷⠦⢐⢾⣇⠀⢩⠠ ⡁⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠐⢂⠀⠐⠀⣼⣿⣿⠆⢀⠛⡛⠛⠋⠃⠀⠠⢟⠒⠀⠜⠻⣿⠿⠯⡍⣷⣠⠠⡔⠓⣿⢋⣼⣧⡲⣯⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⠰⠀⣰⢿⡼⣖⡟⠀⠀⣬ ⣿⡧⠄⣸⡇⡿⠢⠌⣤⡀⠀⠘⠆⠈⠁⠂⠀⠆⠉⠀⢓⣿⣿⡇⢀⠀⠀⠱⢆⠈⠁⢠⠂⢈⡓⠰⡞⠃⠀⢠⠐⢀⣻⡅⡀⠀⠁⣤⣿⡿⢻⣿⡿⠟⢫⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⡞⢠⠇⡧⢡⣽⣿⠇⠀⠂⣼ ⣿⣿⣷⣾⣇⡀⠄⣠⢳⣁⣀⠈⠁⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⡻⠛⠓⢂⠀⡅⡀⠘⠊⣈⢀⠃⡀⠉⠁⣁⠃⠘⠈⡙⣀⠄⡿⡁⠆⠀⣶⣿⠋⠀⠈⡠⠐⠰⢀⢹⡻⣯⢿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣶⠠⠘⣿⡃⠀⢠⣱⣿ ⡇⢹⠉⠭⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠡⠚⠃⠁⠡⠓⢠⠰⠴⠦⠌⠉⠀⠐⢠⠀⢀⠉⣤⣥⣆⢤⠉⡄⣀⠁⠀⢠⡟⠏⡤⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠁⠍⠂⠹⡏⠀⠠⠹⠟⠋⢩⢹⢿⡏⠀⢜⡹⣿⠀⢂⢩⣷ ⠃⠀⠀⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⡗⣤⡜⠃⠩⣓⣈⡙⠛⠄⢠⣜⠃⢹⡁⡐⠚⠀⠃⠾⠆⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⠂⠀⠀⠀⢐⢈⡠⡤⠀⠀⠄⡀⠀⠀⠀⡁⠃⠀⡀⠀⠀⠐⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠓⠦⠁⠁⠈⡐⠿⠀⠀⠀⣾ ⡃⠀⣶⣤⣤⣭⣩⢉⣉⣸⣏⣿⣿⣷⣦⣮⣠⡆⣬⠣⣷⠀⣁⠰⠑⠀⠀⠀⠀⠊⠐⢠⠀⠐⠞⡄⠤⠘⠀⠄⡿⡿⠺⣇⣈⠀⠂⠠⠀⣴⣦⠀⠄⣤⠀⠄⠠⠀⠀⢀⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠠⠀⠀⣀⠀⠁⣢⠀⣀⠰⠸ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣯⣿⣽⣟⣟⢷⡶⠙⡀⢹⡀⠂⠑⠊⠁⠴⠂⣠⠒⡈⠨⠐⡀⠀⠐⠂⠄⢉⠉⣿⠶⠲⡾⣲⣴⣠⡝⠋⠐⢂⡀⠠⠁⢀⣐⠀⣰⡴⢀⡰⠄⠀⠐⠂⠀⡍⠠⠻⢍⠘⣷⣦⣮⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⢿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣷⡶⣅⢂⣉⠑⢛⢢⢛⡴⢠⢅⡴⠂⢁⠐⡑⢈⣢⡟⢃⢬⣖⣶⣶⣶⡓⢶⣝⠹⢆⠐⢀⡨⠰⢀⠃⣄⠛⠟⠙⢐⢤⠛⣄⣾⣿⣦⠉⢃⠀⠖⠊⠒⡉⢁⢻⣿⣿ ⡀⠀⢉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⢻⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣬⡌⣁⠑⠏⠌⠁⠂⣄⠁⢳⡀⢻⢳⡆⣼⣿⣼⣿⣿⡿⠾⠉⠆⣹⣏⣤⣥⠻⢨⠉⡜⣑⣦⠲⢰⡎⠙⢿⣾⣲⢛⠻⡷⣮⡁⣗⣿⣤⢠⣼⣿⣿ ⠃⠀⠀⣑⣻⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠠⠸⢏⠋⣹⠟⢿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠀⠀⠆⠀⣼⣷⣶⣤⣌⣀⠀⠀⢩⣏⡁⣸⣮⣼⣻⣿⣿⣷⣯⢆⡻⣤⣤⠉⠬⠁⣿⢶⡆⡆⣧⠁⣤⣤⠀⠀⢠⣈⢻⣿⣷⠂⠀⠘⠳⡟⠃⠀⡜⢻⣿⣿ ⣄⣀⣀⠀⠩⡍⠝⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣫⣿⣇⡿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⢠⡘⠂⠿⢹⣿⣿⣻⢿⣷⠀⠘⣈⣻⡷⣋⣱⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠝⠣⠯⣧⣷⢓⡉⢀⠀⠁⠀⣌⢡⡭⣉⡄⠘⠋⢻⣎⡉⡀⠁⠀⠁⠀⣤⠆⣶⡄⠀⠙⣿ ⣿⢷⣶⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⢂⣔⠶⢦⠀⠀⠐⢋⣀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣮⣵⡀⠀⢱⠛⠁⢷⣿⣿⠟⠛⢁⣴⣦⣶⣤⠙⣭⣼⣇⡐⠀⠈⠙⢦⣄⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠐⡏⠁⠈⢴⡄⠁⠀⠀⣁⠉⢄⣀⠈⣻ ⣷⣿⣿⣿⠀⣸⣤⣵⣄⡀⠀⠀⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡙⣦⡜⣇⠀⣴⣾⣿⣿⡯⡿⠿⠉⠛⠿⠛⡆⠀⣤⣴⣟⠻⠋⠀⣤⣼⣿⣶⣿⣿⠤⣿⣶⣯⡵⡆⠄⠓⠃⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠃⠈⠟⠁⣁⠀⠀⠀⣸⠟⡈⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠿⠛⢻⠋⠀⢠⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⣷⣌⠀⠛⣯⢍⣩⣴⣶⣷⣶⣜⠐⠆⢀⠋⡁⣐⣎⢀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣭⣿⣿⢿⡏⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣖⠒⣲⡀⢀⡀⠂⠁⠀⠀⠡⠁⢀⠀⠄⣈⣴⣿ ⣿⡿⣿⣿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⠋⠁⢬⣻⢯⡀⠀⠛⠣⣿⣤⠸⣿⣿⣿⡟⠙⣉⡈⢧⡄⠘⠀⢉⠁⣀⠈⣩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠐⠀⠨⡿⣿⠃⠀⠐⠒⠐⠂⠀⢤⠀⠀⡈⠀⢀⠽⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢮⣯⣅⣄⠶⡂⠿⣏⣿⣿⡠⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⡖⠀⣀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠐⠀⢀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣟⡃⢀⡀⠁⠔⠀⢋⣠⡔⠂⠀⢠⣾⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠖⠀⢻⡿⢷⣥⠉⣴⣿⢸⣿⡧⢛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠈⣿⣶⣯⡌⠃⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⣀⠠⡀⠀⠛⠀⠻⡐⠀⠔⢰⡷⠋⠁⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠂⢸⣼⠘⣿⣷⠘⡿⠛⠛⠉⠋⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⠉⠸⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣰⣿⣿⣿⣧⡞⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠠⡏⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⡀⠈⠸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣌⣏⢸⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣯⣯⣽⡀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠿⣿⣿⣿⢣⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡤⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣀⠀⠀⠁⣼⡀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠁⢀⡀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢃⡀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⡛⢋⡿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣷⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⡀⠠⠠⣷⣿⣯⣬⣽⣿⣷⣿⣿⡗⠀⢿⣷⠀⠈⠉⠀⠁⢸⣯⣿⠀⠈⢿⣿⣄⠀⠈⣷⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⢡⣼⣷⠀⢀⣴⡿⣎⡰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠿⢆⠊⢻⠁⠀⠀⠠⠀⣀⠐⣞⠀⠀⠈⢁⣽⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠓⠀⠘⣶⡄⣶⣖⢦⣄⠀⠳⠉⠀⣴⣶⣿⠟⠀⠈⠛⢀⣀⠀⢽⣿ ⣿⠏⣾⣿⡇⠀⠾⢿⣿⡟⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠆⠀⠀⣤⡜⠀⡸⣴⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠤⣿⡆⠀⠀⢤⣍⣤⣩⣍⣩⣭⣭⣭⣭⣽⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠈⠱⠄⠠⢦⢸⡙⠶⠗⢸⡿⠇⣡⠾⢲⣦⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣄⠊⢿ ⣿⣶⣿⣿⣧⠀⠺⣽⢏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠿⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠉⠛⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡟⠋⠋⢁⣤⣶⣷⡶⠷⢾⣟⠛⠒⣲⠾⣷⣾⣿⣤⣿⣁⣿⡟⣹⣿⣿⣿⣯⣴⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⢱⣿⣿⡝⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠄⢠⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣷⡀⠠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣥⡶⢆⣸⣟⡳⣶⣭⣀⡽⢿⣗⣢⣼⣯⣭⣵⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣏⣙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⠀⠘⢹⠆⢾⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⡟⠡⠀⣍⢲⢭⡩⠶⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣙⣉⣱⠛⠛⠛⠳⠿⠿⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿ ⡷⢸⣿⠁⠙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢦⣀⡈⠀⠈⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠣⣸⣄⣀⣶⡋⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⢀⡠⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⡀⠉⠉⠛⠉⠉⠻⢿⣿ ⡟⠘⡿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⣾⠟⠀⠀⠀⢬⣿⡳⠌⠃⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⡄⠀⠠⢤⣾⣿ ⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡈⢻⣿⣽⣤⣆⣈⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣇⠘⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠟⠀⢿⣿⠛⣿⣾⡇⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡄⠀⢀⡀⢻⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠘⣧⣤⣼⣿⣷⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢀⡄⠀⣸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡀⠛⠀⠀⠉⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠘⣷⣿⣿⣿⡈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⢯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠘⠻⢿⣟⣛⠀⠛⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣼⡇⣤⢿⣿⣿ ⣿⡿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⢀⣶⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠒⠋⣤⡄⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠒⠒⠤⣤⣙⡛⠿⠿⠟⢨⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠗⢈⣵⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠻⠿⠀⠀⠀⠺⣆⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠰⠀⠀⠓⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢾⣿⣿⣿⡿⡇⠈⠐⠒⠒⠀⠀⠶⠒⠒⠒⠉⠀⠀⠉⠉⠑⠒⠦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠛⠛⠻⠄⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣶⣤⣀⣀⠀⠀⠠⠊⣹⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠂⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⢿⣿⠋⠉⢃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡿⢟⣫⣼⣿⣿⣶⣤⣀⢀⣀⠀⣶⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠠⠌⠙⠒⠒⠒⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⢿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣤⣴⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠰⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⢽⣿⣿⣷⣘⣉⣰⡶⢖⣒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠖⠐⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠛⠀⠀⠙⢿⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣤⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣤⣄⡀⠠⢦⣿⣿⠛⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣌⣽⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠉⢿⣿⣿⡿⡿⢿⣿⣟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠓⠚⠛⠛⠓⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣴⡿⠇⠀⢸⣿⡷⢿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠶⠦⠽⠿⠆⠀⠺⢿⡯⠀⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠄⠉⠀⠉⣭⣽⡋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⢴⡾⣿⠛⠛⣳⠒⠀⠠⠿⣷⣼ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠒⠒⠂⠀⠤⢤⣖⣲⡶⢒⠂⠀⠀⠒⠁⠀⠀⠀⢈⣁⣀⣀⠫⢹⠶⣤⣄⣀⣀⣀⣤⣔⣈⢀⠠⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣙⣸ ⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠋⠉⠁⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣄⣀⣀⣛⣳⣆⣠⣼⡛⠏⢉⣧⣾⣿⣿⠟⠿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠴⠤⠤⣤⡤⠠⠿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣧⣀⣐⡛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣉⣛⡷⢦⣤⣶⣀⣤⣄⠘⠋⠙⠻⠿⣿⣿ ⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣠⣦⣼⣿⣣⣶⣟⡛⠧⣤⣾⣿⣿⣯⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⣉⣴⣿⣿⣫⣿⣿⣦⣤⣤⣤⣴⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⢁⣤⣵⣾⣶⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1193 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/28/Mobile_Systems_Mobile_Applications_The_Smartphone_Fatigue_and_S.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/28/Mobile_Systems_Mobile_Applications_The_Smartphone_Fatigue_and_S.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications: The 'Smartphone' Fatigue and "State of [GNU/]Linux Mobile 2026"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 28, 2026 * ⚓ Michał Sapka ☛ Bigme_HiBreak_S_B&W⠀⇛ I hate my iPhone. What used to be a cool toy became addictive and an active hindrance in my life. For a long time, I wanted to get myself a (so called) dumb-phone, but this would prove itself a challenge in the year of our Lord (The Smartphone) 2026. Too many things depend on my having this terrible device, that not having it would be a self-inflicted wound. * ⚓ SitePoint ☛ State_of_Linux_Mobile_2026:_PostmarketOS_&_F-Droid Updates⠀⇛ PostmarketOS now ships a generic mainline kernel and F-Droid is reforming its governance. The state of Linux mobile in 2026 looks different from twelve months ago. PostmarketOS has collapsed the per-device maintenance burden that historically throttled its device coverage. F-Droid has signaled governance and technical pipeline reforms that push alternative app distribution beyond a volunteer-only afterthought toward a more professionalized operation. PostmarketOS and F-Droid together form the most functional open-source mobile stack available, though "functional" still comes with caveats. For developers watching from the sidelines, the question is no longer whether these platforms exist, but whether they have crossed the threshold into practical utility. This article provides both an honest assessment of that question and a hands-on walkthrough: readers will leave with a working development environment, a deployable PWA, and a clear path to F-Droid distribution. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1244 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/28/Mozilla_Development_and_Localization.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/28/Mozilla_Development_and_Localization.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Mozilla Development and Localization⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 28, 2026 * ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Hacks.Mozilla.Org:_Why_is_WebAssembly_a_second-class_language on_the_web?⠀⇛ This post is an expanded version of a presentation I gave at the 2025 WebAssembly_CG meeting in Munich. * ⚓ Kev Quirk ☛ Firefox_Hey_Hi_(AI)_Killswitch⠀⇛ Nice to see that the Firefox team have actually implemented their "AI killswitch" in the way that they said they would.

First, we’ve seen incredible progress over the last year in gaming on Linux. That spans ease of setup improvements, title compatibility, and also performance, where some titles at this point perform better than on Windows. We’ve published a deep dive blog post that goes into the current state of gaming on Linux and what distros we recommend checking out. Especially with memory and overall silicon pricing reaching unreasonable levels this year, a 32GB Framework Desktop running a distro like Bazzite ends up being a strong price to performance value for most games relative to pre-built Windows desktops or even DIYing a gaming rig. * ⚓ Jeff Geerling ☛ Upgrading_my_Open_Source_Pi_Surveillance_Server_with Frigate⠀⇛ Besides the cooling issue, I had no issues with the pre-launch hardware I tested. I was especially impressed by the quality of Exaviz's documentation, even though they hadn't publicly launched the product while I was testing. * ⚓ Bunnie Huang ☛ Name_that_Ware,_February_2026⠀⇛ Do I sense a theme? Welcome to the tour of the various little gadgets I have littered around my desk for test & measurement! * ⚓ Bunnie Huang ☛ Winner,_Name_that_Ware_January_2026⠀⇛ The Ware for January 2026 is a FNIRSI DPS-150. Tim nailed it almost immediately; congrats, email me for your prize! The DPS- 150 is a small, portable DC “benchtop” power supply that converts USB-C into a range of voltages and currents. samchin convinced me to get one of these as an impulse buy in the Shenzhen markets last month. I’ll have to say that overall I’m happy with it, but the UI has been challenging for me to wrap my head around. Definitely keep the user manual for this one – I’m still referring to it to figure out all the modes. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ Turning_a_climbing_wall_into_an_interactive_game⠀⇛ A great deal of Superbender’s well-detailed Instructables tutorial focuses on the construction of the wall, but the electronic elements are what interest us. Those are based on Arduino Due and Arduino Nano boards. The Due has a TFT display and buttons for setting up games. It also controls the WS2812b individually addressable RGB LEDs embedded in the wall and monitors the buttons. A distributed power circuit feeds all of the LEDs safely. The Nano controls an amplifier to play sounds at the request of the Due. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ TECNO_unveils_thin_modular_smartphone_concept_with magnetic_cameras,_battery,_and_gamepad_add-ons⠀⇛ The TECNO will showcase its modular smartphone concept at Mobile World Congress 2026. The company’s “Modular Magnetic Interconnection Technology” aims to enable thin modular smartphones with magnetic hardware expansion add-ons. This idea is not new. Motorola’s Project Ara open-source hardware platform attempted that in 2013, and Surveillance Giant Google (ATAP) took over the project in 2015, before the modular phone project died in 2016. The Fairphone is the closest we have to a modular smartphone nowadays, but while it’s repairable, its modularity is more limited. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Raspberry_Pi_CM5_mini-ITX-compatible_carrier_board features_up_to_nine_Ethernet_ports_for_NVR,_Smart_Home,_and_Edge_Hey_Hi_ (AI)_applications⠀⇛ EXAVIZ Cruiser is a mini-ITX-compatible carrier board for the Raspberry Pi CM5 featuring up to nine Ethernet ports (one 2.5GbE port, and up to eight GbE PoE+ ports) designed for Network Video Recorders (NVRs), Smart Home gateways, and edge Hey Hi (AI) applications. * ⚓ Introducing_Kvaser_Edge:_a_secure_Linux_edge_platform_for_automotive and_industrial_applications⠀⇛ Kvaser announced Kvaser Edge, an open, secure Linux‑based edge computing platform that transforms how automotive and industrial teams collect, process, and act on data. Designed for harsh environments and real‑time performance, Kvaser Edge runs analytics directly where data is generated: on the vehicle, test bench, or machine. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1411 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/28/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/28/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 28, 2026 * ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_x13binary_1.1.61.2_on_CRAN: Micro_Maintenance⠀⇛ The x13binary team is happy to share the availability of Release 1.1.61.2 of the x13binary by the US Census Bureau which arrived on CRAN earlier today, and has already been built for r2u. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Ned Batchelder ☛ Pytest_parameter_functions⠀⇛ Pytest’s parametrize is a great feature for writing tests without repeating yourself needlessly. (If you haven’t seen it before, read Starting with pytest’s parametrize first). When the data gets complex, it can help to use functions to build the data parameters. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Wouter Groeneveld ☛ Managing_Multiple_Development_Ecosystem Installs⠀⇛ In the past year, I occasionally required another Java Development Kit besides the usual one defined in $JAVA_HOME to build certain modules against older versions and certain modules against bleeding edge versions. In the Java world, that’s rather trivial thanks to IntelliJ’s project settings: you can just interactively click through a few panels to install another JDK flavour and get on with your life. o ⚓ Frank Delporte ☛ Pi4J_Joins_the_Commonhaus_Foundation:_Securing the_Future_of_Java_on_Single-Board_Computers⠀⇛ Open source software is built on passion, time, and dedication. But passion alone doesn’t guarantee the long- term survival of a project. Maintainers move on, life changes, priorities shift, and sometimes a beloved project simply fades away. Something we want to avoid for the Pi4J project. So I’m very happy that I can share that on February 26, Pi4J got accepted into the Commonhaus Foundation. This is a major step to make sure that this Java library, used by many developers in all kinds of projects, can continue to exist and grow. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Niko_Matsakis:_How_Dada_enables_internal_references⠀⇛ In my previous Dada blog post, I talked about how Dada enables composable sharing. Today I’m going to start diving into Dada’s permission system; permissions are Dada’s equivalent to Rust’s borrow checker. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1496 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/28/Red_Hat_and_Fedora_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/28/Red_Hat_and_Fedora_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat and Fedora Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 28, 2026 * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ GDAL_3.4_package:_Full-featured_GIS_functionality_on_RHEL⠀⇛ When deploying Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux (RHEL) 9 systems for geospatial workloads, administrators quickly discover that the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) package in AppStream provides only minimal functionality. Attempts to perform common operations, such as converting Shapefile to GeoJSON with ogr2ogr, inspecting GeoTIFF metadata with gdalinfo, or importing spatial data into PostGIS, fail with driver errors. This GDAL package provided by RHEL ships only the bare minimum: Virtual Raster (VRT) and In Memory Raster (MEM) format drivers. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Red_Hat_OpenShift_Service_on_proprietary_trap_AWS_with_hosted control_planes_enables_configuration_of_cluster_monitoring_operator_for additional_observability⠀⇛ Red Hat OpenShift Service on proprietary trap AWS with hosted control planes is a fully managed application platform for building, deploying, and scaling applications. OpenShift Service on proprietary trap AWS now enables administrators of clusters with hosted control planes to configure the platform monitoring stack with the cluster monitoring operator so you can take full advantage of the monitoring and alerting capabilities provided by Red Bait OpenShift. * ⚓ Fedora Project ☛ Fedora_Community_Blog:_Community_Update_–_Week_9, 2026⠀⇛ This is a report created by CLE_Team, which is a team containing community members working in various Fedora groups for example Infrastructure, Release Engineering, Quality etc. This team is also moving forward some initiatives inside Fedora project. * ⚓ Remi Collet ☛ Remi_Collet:_🎲_PHP_version_8.4.19RC1_and_8.5.4RC1⠀⇛ Release Candidate versions are available in the testing repository for Fedora and Enterprise Linux (RHEL / CentOS / Alma / Rocky and other clones) to allow more people to test them. They are available as Software Collections, for parallel installation, the perfect solution for such tests, and as base packages. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ More_than_meets_the_eye:_Behind_the_scenes_of_Red Hat_Enterprise_Linux_10_(Part_6)⠀⇛ * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ From_operations_to_outcomes:_The_business_value_of automation⠀⇛ In dynamic and distributed IT environments, measuring automation success purely by task-level time savings fails to capture the true scope of its impact.  * ⚓ HPC Wire ☛ CIQ_Launches_RLC_Pro_Enterprise_Linux_Subscription_for Production_AI_and_HPC_Environments⠀⇛ Rocky Linux is one of the most widely deployed enterprise Linux distributions worldwide, with Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) telemetry showing more than 2.75 million actively deployed instances globally. As adoption has accelerated, so has enterprise demand for commercially backed support, long- term lifecycle guarantees and validated compliance capabilities. RLC Pro directly addresses that market need. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1590 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/28/Red_Hat_on_hosted_control_planes_HCP_and_Rocky_Linux_or_CIQ_sel.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/02/28/Red_Hat_on_hosted_control_planes_HCP_and_Rocky_Linux_or_CIQ_sel.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat on hosted control planes (HCP) and Rocky Linux or CIQ selling long-term support (LTS)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 28, 2026 * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_hosted_control_planes_are_getting_smarter_about_resource management⠀⇛ The next evolution of hosted control planes (HCP) is all about intelligent scaling, which reduces costs without compromising performance. Running Kubernetes at scale has always involved trade-offs between performance guarantees and cost efficiency. Provision too much, and you're paying for idle resources. Provision too little, and you risk degraded performance when load spikes. For organizations running Red_Hat_OpenShift through HCP, these trade-offs directly impact both operational costs and cluster reliability. * ⚓ CIQ_Launches_RLC_Pro,_Redefining_the_Enterprise_Linux_Standard_for_the Next_Generation_of_Infrastructure⠀⇛ Commercially supported offering unifies open source availability and enterprise capabilities in one solution, eliminating infrastructure fragmentation and delivering long term support, FIPS and direct bug fixes as standard features. * ⚓ CIQ_launches_RLC_Pro_to_back_Rocky_Linux_for_enterprises⠀⇛ CIQ has launched Rocky Linux from CIQ Pro, a paid subscription for Rocky Linux that bundles long-term support, compliance- ready cryptographic packages, and vendor-backed bug fixes into a single commercial offering. Branded RLC Pro, the product sits alongside the community Rocky Linux distribution and targets organisations that want formal service commitments for production systems.

It was interesting in that they approached the companies to avoid in a different way than I did, but then the result was the same bad actors. I have been focused on boycotting companies that support Trump, via paying for his inauguration, contributing to the Epstein ballroom in the White House, or donating millions to PACs that support Trump and the republicans. Whereas the Tech Resistance looked at companies that cause harm locally in our neighborhood or commit atrocities internationally. They focused on those causing environmental catastrophes, those supporting ICE with products and services, those supporting Israel with products and services, those spreading misinformation, those spreading child pornography or generating revenge port. Anyway, quite a long list. And interestingly the same companies that actively support Trump. This article is a continuation on my efforts to wean off American Tech.

Linuxize ☛ cat_Cheatsheet⠀⇛ Quick reference for viewing, combining, and redirecting file content with cat in Linux * ⚓ Porfirio_A._Páiz_-_porfiriopaiz:_Installing_TeX_Live_2025_on_Fedora:_A Minimalist_User-Space_Guide⠀⇛ This guide consolidates the steps required to establish a professional-grade LaTeX environment into a single, clean workflow. Following this chronological order ensures that directories exist, dependencies are met, and the environment is correctly configured before the software attempts to utilize them. * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ sort_Command_in_Linux:_Sort_Lines_of_Text⠀⇛ The sort command sorts lines of text files alphabetically or numerically. This guide covers sorting by column, reverse order, unique lines, and combining sort with other commands. * ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Configure_Git_Username_and_Email_(Global_and Local)⠀⇛ A wrong Git identity is easy to ignore until it shows up on every commit, pull request, and code review. * ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Switch_Git_Branches⠀⇛ Switching branches should be boring. It stops being boring when the branch only exists on the remote, your working tree is already dirty, or old examples keep pointing you back to git checkout. * ⚓ DT ☛ Sailfish_OS_-_Install_yt-dlp⠀⇛ yt-dlp1 is an extremely vesatile utility that can download or stream media from many, many sites, even if they lock their streams behind complex javascript and access tokens. On my desktop, I never even access YouTube anymore, every YT link gets fed directly to mpv. * ⚓ Christian Hofstede-Kuhn ☛ Neovim_Crash_Course_for_Sysadmins:_The_20% That_Solve_80%_of_the_Pain⠀⇛ This is not a beginner’s guide. If you’ve used Vim daily for a year and still occasionally fight with paste behavior, you’re the target audience. This article covers the things I got wrong (or never properly learned) after fifteen years of daily Vim usage - and the moment everything clicked. The focus is practical: editing configuration files, YAML, shell scripts, and infrastructure code. No Vim philosophy lectures. No “Vim is a language” metaphors. Just the patterns that make the biggest difference for sysadmins and DevOps engineers who spend their days in terminals. * ⚓ Christian Hofstede-Kuhn ☛ Running_Your_Own_AS:_Going_Multi-Homed_with iBGP_and_three_Transits⠀⇛ The previous article covered the basics: obtain an AS number and IPv6 prefix, build a single FreeBSD BGP router with two upstream providers, and tunnel the prefix to downstream servers. That setup works. But it has a property that feels wrong once you’ve operated it for a while: all your traffic converges on one point. One machine, one location, two upstreams. Everything in, everything out, through the same box. * ⚓ Amit Patel ☛ Writing_a_guide_to_SDF_fonts⠀⇛ Back in 2024 I learned about SDF (signed distance field) rendering of fonts. I was trying to implement outlines and shadows in a single pass instead of drawing over the text multiple times in different styles. I intended to use these fonts for two different projects, a game and a map generator. I got things working but didn’t fully understand why certain things worked or didn’t work. I wrote some notes on my site about what I tried. In the end, I stopped working on both the game’s fonts and the map generator, so I put all of this on hold. * ⚓ Sunny ☛ Blog/Scp⠀⇛ It seems that OpenSSH's scp modifies the permissions of the transferred files and directories to match their local counterparts. This makes sense, except it also does so if the target directory already exists! * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Grafana_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Monitoring your infrastructure without clear, visual dashboards is like navigating in the dark. Grafana changes that. It transforms raw metrics into actionable, real-time visual dashboards — and installing it on Fedora 43 is straightforward once you know the exact steps. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_VSCodium_on_Fedora_43 [Ed: Helps popularise proprietary spyware]⠀⇛ If you want a powerful, open-source code editor without Microsoft’s telemetry watching your every keystroke, VSCodium is one of the best decisions you can make as a Fedora developer. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Passbolt_Password_Manager_on_Linux_Mint 22⠀⇛ Managing passwords across a team is no small task. One weak or reused credential can be the single point of failure that exposes an entire organization. If you’re running Linux Mint 22 and want a self-hosted, open-source solution with real encryption, Passbolt is one of the best tools available. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Nessus_on_Linux_Mint_22⠀⇛ Cybersecurity threats are evolving faster than ever. Whether you’re a student, a network administrator, or an ethical hacker building out your home lab, having a reliable vulnerability scanner is no longer optional — it’s essential. Nessus, developed by Tenable, Inc., is one of the most trusted vulnerability assessment tools in the world. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Shotcut_on_Rocky_GNU/Linux_10⠀⇛ If you’re running Rocky GNU/Linux 10 and need a reliable, free video editor, Shotcut is one of the best tools you can install. It’s open-source, cross-platform, and packed with professional-grade features — without spending a single dollar on licensing.

Despite its widespread usage, Ingress-NGINX is full of surprising defaults and side effects that are probably present in your cluster today. This blog highlights these behaviors so that you can migrate away safely and make a conscious decision about which behaviors to keep. This post also compares Ingress-NGINX with Gateway API and shows you how to preserve Ingress-NGINX behavior in Gateway API. o ⚓ From PagerDuty to ‘Agentic Ops’: The Rise of_Self-Healing Kubernetes⠀⇛ Explore how the role of Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) is transforming with Agentic Ops, integrating technologies like eBPF, LLMs, and Kubernetes Operators to shift problem-solving from humans to intelligent systems. * § Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Tim_Waugh:_Patchutils_0.4.5_released⠀⇛ I have released version_0.4.5 of patchutils and also built it in Fedora rawhide.

But, like a cheesy slasher movie stalker, everywhere you look, there's a glimpse of Windows. No matter how deep into the Linux world you go, you can't get away from it completely. * § Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ The New Stack ☛ Netdata_is_a_seriously_impressive_server monitoring_tool⠀⇛ Every once in a while, I come across a tool that makes me lean back and go, “Wooo, that’s cool!” * § KDE/Technical/OMEMO⠀➾ o ⚓ Building_a_Secure_XMPP_Bot:_A_Deep_Dive_into_OMEMO_Implementation with_QXmpp⠀⇛ If you are building an XMPP client or bot today, plain text is no longer acceptable.

As a consequence, we have ‘only’ released four snapshots (0220, 0223, 0224, and 0226) * ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ OpenSUSE_Planet_News_Roundup⠀⇛ This is a roundup of articles from the openSUSE community listed on planet.opensuse.org.

The Ubuntu developer team announced the release last night: Hello everyone, * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Canonical_and_Ubuntu_RISC-V:_a_2025_retro_and_looking_forward to_2026⠀⇛ * ⚓ Ubuntubuzz ☛ How_To_Subscribe_To_News_using_Thunderbird_on_Ubuntu⠀⇛ * ⚓ ROCm_in_the_New_Ubuntu:_When_Small_Machines_Power_Big_Intelligence⠀⇛ UBUNTU, much like the call to prayer, arrives with calendar precision. Versions ending in .04 are released in April, and .10 in October. So when Canonical announced Ubuntu 26.04 would launch on April 23, 2026, Linux users were not surprised. They simply smiled, prepared their coffee, and cleared a partition. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Sudo-rs_just_broke_46_years_of_security_tradition,_and_users aren't_happy [Ed: Rust is a net negative for security after all?]⠀⇛ As an ex-Windows user, one of the weirder moments I had when getting used to Linux was how sudo 'eats' your password. If you've never used it before, sudo won't show any visual feedback as you type your password. There are no asterisks, no moving cursors, and no sound effects. It's to prevent people who are looking over your shoulder from guessing your password based on its length, but if you're not used to it, it feels like you're not typing anything in at all. Well, the rewrite of sudo, sudo-rs, has decided to scrap the original's 46-year-old password-hiding feature. Now, when you type in your password, it will show up as asterisks. Unfortunately, people are not happy with the change, and it's easy to see why. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2927 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 29 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
