These are elements like snapping, theming, and workflow tweaks. There have been great strides in both ecosystems, and Windows 11 particularly has improved virtual desktops and has made Snap layouts smarter. However, compared with Linux, there are still concrete architectural differences. Windows is an integrated environment, and Linux has a modular design that allows you to take out and replace layers. This makes it hard for Windows to match all the core capabilities that Linux offers, and I'll point out the most significant ones.

At first, that freedom feels intoxicating. Every tweak is possible, and every tool is just install commands away. Your system becomes a playground of clever utilities, experimental packages, and “this might be useful someday” downloads that quietly pile up like digital takeout containers. Eventually, though, the bill comes due.

It focuses on atomic updates, modern tooling, and a clean system design. It diverges significantly from traditional distributions whilst still aiming to provide a familiar and comfortable environment. Read_on Update More coverage of this distro: * ⚓ AerynOS_is_a_Linux_distribution_geared_toward_performance_and bulletproof_updates⠀⇛ There are thousands upon thousands of GNU/Linux distributions [...] AerynOS is not based on any other distribution. Because of that, AerynOS is free to create and release whatever the developers want. To that end, the team has opted to use a next- generation package manager, Moss (more on that in a bit). This distribution also features a rapid build system, called Boulder, which allows developers to create simple YAML recipes so there’s less time packaging applications and more time creating them. ⣐⣂⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣒⣒⣐⣒⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣐⣒⠂⠂ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⡀⠀⠀⠒⠒⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣐⣂⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠋⠈⠛⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⡁⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠶⠶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠶⠶⠶⠶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠆⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⡁⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠴⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠦⠄⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠴⠤⠤⠦⠶⠤⠶⠴⠦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠧⠶⠶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠄⠤⠤⠄⠀⠀⠸⠿⠷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⡄⣀⡀⠀⡀⣀⢘⣛⡻⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠖⠒⠒⠀⠀⢘⣋⣉⣉⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠠⠄⠤⠤⠄⠀⠀⠰⠿⠿⠿⠶⠾⠿⠿⠶⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⣛⣛⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠀⠆⠀⠀⠄⠤⠀⠸⠿⠿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⣛⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⡁⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠀⠂⠒⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣴⣦⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣾⠀⠆⠄⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠤⣤⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠂⠒⠒⠒⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠈⠉⠙⠙⠋⠋⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣃⣒⣒⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠛⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⠟⠛⢿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠉⠈⠉⠛⠉⠛⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠻⠆⠰⢄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 313 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/05/After_decades_of_Windows_Linux_made_me_love_using_an_OS_again.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/05/After_decades_of_Windows_Linux_made_me_love_using_an_OS_again.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ After decades of Windows, Linux made me love using an OS again⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 05, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Laptops⦈_ The thought started as I began setting up KaOS. I was taking a look at the distro after it dropped KDE Plasma to see how it was shaping up, and in the live environment, I noticed a small cat icon running in the taskbar. As a cat enthusiast, I really wanted to add it to my Fedora Kinoite setup, so I looked it up, found that it was called CatWalk, and I added it to my toolbar. Now I have a little cat icon that runs faster when my CPU usage goes up, and I can combine it with an actual percentage so I can keep tabs on how hard it's working. Ultimately, it was a very small app, and didn't revolutionise my Linux install or anything. However, it was fun. It reminded me of the days when I'd spent a ton of time on Windows 95 or 98 and enjoyed just how fun-loving those old Windows versions were. It's something that Microsoft slowly phased out of its operating systems, and while I can't pinpoint the exact moment Windows stopped being fun, I'd wager it was around the time they stopped adding Minesweeper as a default app. Seriously, why did Microsoft do that?

I’m also glad of the possibility that Eleventy’s governance will no longer rely on Zach being Benevolent Dictator for Life (BDFL). I think Zach has shown a lot of maturity in the way he’s managed Eleventy over the years, I just think that Eleventy reached a point a few years ago where it needed a more mature governance model than a BDFL. Aside from governance, this also means that Eleventy has a better long-term outlook; there’s less risk of the project being abandoned because the one person working on it burns out or loses interest. * ⚓ Martin Hähne ☛ RSVP_Eleventy⠀⇛ The static site generator Eleventy is now (soon?) known as "Build Awesome" which is a terrible, terrible name and seems to suggest a bad trajectory for this project.

But if you look at the structure of the system instead of the process, nearly every part of it is a naming problem, and the whole thing works because we’ve agreed on how to interpret strings at each layer and because a registry sits in the middle translating between them. * ⚓ Peter 'CzP' Czanik ☛ Syslog-ng_4.11.0_packaging_status⠀⇛ Committed users compile syslog-ng for themselves from source.

Here are what’s new and PPA package for Ubuntu users. KeePass 2.61 is the first release of this free open-source cross- platform password manager (through Mono) in 2026. It improved One- Time Password (OTP) support with new options and few fixes. When pasting a shared secret in the one-time password generator settings dialog, it now automatically removes white-space characters (if any) if the selected encoding is Base16/Hex, Base32 or Base64. As you see in the screenshot below, it provides a new button (after preview) allowing to copy the current one-time password to the clipboard. And, it now supports displaying settings of history entries. {TIMEOTP} placeholder, the built-in function to create time-based one-time password (TOTP), is now classified as non-active. And, the issue editing OTP generator settings caused repeated password has been fixed.

A pidfd is a file descriptor that refers to a process; unlike a process ID, a pidfd is an unambiguous handle for a process; that makes it a safer, more deterministic way of operating on processes. Christian Brauner, who has driven much of the pidfd-related work, is proposing two new flags for the clone3() system call, one of which changes the kernel's security model in a somewhat controversial way. The existing CLONE_PIDFD flag was added (by Brauner) for the 5.2 kernel release; it causes clone3() to create and return a pidfd for the newly created process (or thread). That gives the parent process a handle on its child from the outset. This pidfd can be used to, among other things, detect when the child has exited and obtain its exit status. * ⚓ Modernizing_swapping:_virtual_swap_spaces_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ The kernel's unloved but performance-critical swapping subsystem has been undergoing multiple rounds of improvement in recent times. Recent articles have described the addition of the swap table as a new way of representing the state of the swap cache, and the removal of the swap map as the way of tracking swap space. Work in this area is not done, though; this series from Nhat Pham addresses a number of swap-related problems by replacing the new swap table structures with a single, virtual swap space. * ⚓ No_hardware_memory_isolation_for_BPF_programs_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ On February 12, Yeoreum Yun posted a suggestion for an improvement to the security of the kernel's BPF implementation: use memory protection keys to prevent unauthorized access to memory by BPF programs. Yun wanted to put the topic on the list for discussion at the Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit in May, but the lack of engagement makes that unlikely. They also have a patch set implementing some of the proposed changes, but has not yet shared that with the mailing list. Yun's proposal does not seem likely to be accepted in its current form, but the kernel has added hardware-based hardening options in the past, sometimes after substantial discussion. When a modern CPU needs to turn a virtual address into a physical address, it does so by consulting a page table. This table also dictates whether the memory in question is readable, writable, executable, accessible by user space, etc. Page tables have a multi-level structure, requiring several pointer indirections to find the actual entry for a page of memory. To avoid the overhead of following these indirections on every memory access, the CPU keeps a cache of recently accessed entries called the translation lookaside buffer (TLB). * ⚓ The_second_half_of_the_7.0_merge_window_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ The 7.0 merge window closed on February 22 with 11,588 non- merge commits total, 3,893 of which came in after the article covering the first half of the merge window. The changes in the second half were weighted toward bug fixes over new features, which is usual. There were still a handful of surprises, however, including 89 separate tiny code-cleanup changes from different people for the rtl8723bs driver, a number that surprised Greg Kroah-Hartman. It's unusual for a WiFi-chip driver to receive that much attention, especially a staging driver that is not yet ready for general use. * ⚓ Lessons_on_attracting_new_contributors_from_30_years_of_PostgreSQL_ [LWN.net]⠀⇛ The annual PGConf.dev developer's conference is also working well to feed the "soul" of the project, she said. It is now in its third year, and its organizers have been doing ""a lot of experimentation with different formats and how to make it easier for new contributors to get involved with the project"". * ⚓ An_effort_to_secure_the_Network_Time_Protocol_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ The Network Time Protocol (NTP) debuted in 1985; it is a universally used, open specification that is deeply important for all sorts of activities we take for granted. It also, despite a number of efforts, remains stubbornly unsecured. Ruben Nijveld presented work at FOSDEM 2026 to speed adoption of the thus-far largely ignored standard for securing NTP traffic: IETF's RFC-8915 that specifies Network Time Security (NTS) for NTP. I was not able to attend FOSDEM this year, but I watched the video for the talk in order to put together this article. According to Nijveld, NTP is ""fundamentally a broken protocol. It is a protocol that is fundamentally insecure"". His employer, the Dutch nonprofit Trifecta Tech Foundation, is testing technologies that would make it easier for pool.ntp.org, and other large-scale time servers, to adopt NTS. That work is receiving additional funding from ICANN and other interested parties, he said.

After some experimenting, I’ve found this_board to work well. I’ve connected 6 WS2812B LED strips to 3 pins and installed them with an aluminium profile into the doors. The frosted windows and profiles diffuse the light nicely so you can’t make out individual LEDs really. On the software side, I’m using a sound-reactive_port_of_the WLED project. WLED is Free and Open Source software, of course. Though its user interface can be a little unwieldy, it’s also very powerful and integrates nicely with homeassistant, so it can be controlled automatically. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ Train_and_deploy_your_own_Hey_Hi_(AI)_models_in_Arduino®_App Lab_– now_fully_integrated_with_Edge_Impulse!⠀⇛ We’re excited to introduce a powerful new capability in Arduino App Lab: native integration with Edge Impulse for training and deploying your own custom Hey Hi (AI) models. This update makes it easier than ever to bring machine learning into your App Lab projects. * ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Cornell_students'_2025_Pico_projects⠀⇛ Cornell’s entire Digital Systems Design Using Microcontrollers course was written around RP2040, the chip embedded in our Pico boards. The Raspberry Pi Pico range is perfect for these sorts of projects — it’s tiny, fast, and versatile enough for both beginners and more experienced users. Here are just a few of the projects from last semester: [...] * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Dabao_board_features_open-source_hardware_Baochip-1x RISC-V_MCU_(Crowdfunding)⠀⇛ An open-source hardware board usually features a closed-source microcontroller or processors, but the Dabao evaluation board goes further with the open-source Boachip-1x MCU, whose RTL files are available. It’s also manufactured in such a way that it is inspectable with the Infra-Red, In Situ (IRIS) technique, so users can look at the silicon and confirm they’ve got the right chip in a non-destructive way. Baochip-1x is a “general- purpose” microcontroller with a 350 MHz Vexriscv RV32-IMAC CPU core, a BIO accelerator for I/Os with four  700MHz PicoRV RV32- EMC CPU cores, 4MB of ReRAM, 2MB SRAM, a USB interface, various other I/Os, and hardware secure elements such as cryptography accelerators, key stores, one-way counters, true random number generation, and hardware attack countermeasures such as glitch sensors and a security mesh. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Engicam_introduces_SmarCore_iQ6_SMARC_module_with Dragonwing_IQ-6⠀⇛ Engicam has introduced the SmarCore iQ6, a SMARC 2.2 system-on- module based on the Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ-6 Series. The module targets industrial, IoT, and edge computing applications requiring a compact embedded platform with multimedia and AI capabilities. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Grinn_ReneSOM-V2H_module_runs_Renesas_RZ/V2H_vision_AI processor⠀⇛ Polish embedded systems company Grinn has introduced the ReneSOM-V2H, described as the world’s smallest SoM based on the Renesas RZ/V2H processor. Measuring 37 × 42.6 mm, the module targets edge AI and vision-based systems such as smart cameras, robotics platforms, and industrial inspection devices. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Raspberry_Pi_CM5_industrial_computer_features_RS485/ RS232/CAN_Bus/DIO_interfaces,_dual_Ethernet,_optional_4G/5G_cellular module⠀⇛ Waveshare IPCBOX-CM5 is an industrial-grade mini computer built around the Raspberry Pi CM5, featuring RS485, RS232, CAN Bus, and DI/DO terminal blocks, dual Ethernet, an M.2 socket for NVMe SSDs or Hey Hi (AI) accelerators, and a wide 7V to 36V DC power input. The system is compatible with all CM5 variants and integrates GbE and 2.5GbE ports, a 4K-capable HDMI video output, multiple USB 3.2/2.0 ports, and an M.2 B-Key slot plus a Nano-SIM card slot for 4G LTE/5G cellular modules. Other features include microSD card support for Raspberry Pi CM5 Lite models, a PWM fan header, a buzzer, an audio jack, an RTC battery header, and a speaker connector. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ NanoPi_NEO3_Plus_–_A_tiny_Rockchip_RK3528A_headless_SBC with_Gigabit_Ethernet,_USB_3.0_port,_GPIO_header⠀⇛ FriendlyELEC NanoPi NEO3 Plus is an ultra-compact headless SBC powered by a Rockchip RK3528A SoC paired with 1GB RAM, whose main interfaces are a Gigabit Ethernet jack, a USB 3.2 port, and a 26-pin GPIO header. I can still remember using its predecessor, the NanoPi NEO3, based on a Rockchip RK3328, which I reviewed with Armbian in 2020. The new model is similar, with a quad-core Cortex-A53 SoC but clocked at 2.0 GHz instead of 1.5 GHz, and offered with a black metal case instead of a white plastic case. * ⚓ System76 ☛ Launch_Keyboard_tips_to_make_you_more_productive⠀⇛ Tips & tricks for the newly redesigned Launch Configurable Keyboards. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1779 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/05/Open_source_Discord_alternatives.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/05/Open_source_Discord_alternatives.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open-source Discord alternatives⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 05, 2026 The closed-source chat platform Discord announced on February 9 that it would soon require some users to verify their ages in order to access some content — although the company quickly added that the ""vast majority"" of users would not have to. That reassurance has to contend with the fact that the UK and other countries are implementing increasingly strict age requirements for social media. Discord's age verification would be done with an AI age-judging model or with a government photo ID. A surprising number of open-source projects use Discord for support or project communications, and some of those projects are now looking for open-source alternatives. Mastodon, for example, has moved discussion to Zulip. There are some alternatives out there, all with their own pros and cons, that communities may want to consider if they want to switch away from Discord. [...] For everyone who doesn't want or need a Discord-like "modern" chat experience — IRC will always be an option.

But the devil is in the details. Some tools version entire data lakes, others focus on databases. Some support full merge workflows, others prioritize instant forking. Understanding these trade-offs will help you choose the right solution for your stack. There will be gaps, and implementations are changing fast, so take it with a grain of salt. But this should give you a good overview of what’s out there, and help you invest more time in the ones that fit your use case best. Let’s get into it. * ⚓ Sandor Dargo ☛ Accessing_inactive_union_members_through_char:_the aliasing_rule_you_didn't_know_about⠀⇛ I recently published an article on a new C++26 standard library facility, std::is_within_lifetime. As one of my readers, Andrey, pointed out, one of the examples contains code that seems like undefined behavior. But it’s also taken — almost directly — from the original proposal, so it’s probably not UB. And that’s correct, it’s not undefined behavior. Let’s first examine the example and the UB suspect, then dive into the fine print of C++ to explain why it’s not what it seems to be. * ⚓ J Kenneth King ☛ Agentultra_-_Scripting_Haskell_Applications_with_Lua⠀⇛ On my regular programming stream I’ve been figuring out how to build a Multi-User Dungeon (or MUD) server in Haskell. Part of that project is to learn how to embed Lua into Haskell applications. The idea is that the game developer can write their game in Lua and not have to worry about networking, concurrency, databases, caching, simulation, and all of that. They can focus on the game logic and use the provided API to interact with the server, called Bakamud, which is written in Haskell. In your application it might allow users to write plugins the extend existing functionality. In this post I’m going to share the basics of loading some Lua code, calling some Lua functions in that code, and exporting Haskell functions for Lua code to call. * ⚓ James G ☛ Offline_mode⠀⇛ When you visit my website, a service worker is registered. This service worker maintains a cache using the JS Cache API. When the service worker is first registered, a selection of articles I have written are automatically cached. This means that if you only visited my website once or twice, you would still have something to read. My offline page is also cached. * ⚓ Maury ☛ Remove_annoying_banners_(Maurycy's_blog)⠀⇛ This is a small javascript snippet that removes most annoying website elements: [...] * ⚓ Matheus Lima ☛ Nobody_Gets_Promoted_for_Simplicity⠀⇛ I think there’s something quietly screwing up a lot of engineering teams. In interviews, in promotion packets, in design reviews: the engineer who overbuilds gets a compelling narrative, but the one who ships the simplest thing that works gets… nothing. This isn’t intentional, of course. Nobody sits down and says, “let’s make sure the people who over-engineer things get promoted!” But that’s what can happen (and it has been, over and over again) when companies evaluate work incorrectly. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ Aman Mittal ☛ Using_Ghostty_for_the_first_time⠀⇛ Recently, I’ve been hearing a lot about Ghostty, which is a new terminal app in town and is created by Mitchell Hashimoto (co-founder of HashiCorp). Everyone keeps saying it is minimal and fast. You had me at minimal. * § Debian Family⠀➾ o ⚓ Sean_Whitton:_dgit-as-a-service_retrospective⠀⇛ We recently launched_tag2upload, aka cloud dgit or dgit- as-a-service. This was something of a culmination of work I’ve been doing since 2016 towards modernising Debian workflows, so I thought I’d write a short personal retrospective. o ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_tidyCpp_0.0.9_on_CRAN: More_(forced)_Maintenance⠀⇛ Another maintenance release of the tidyCpp package arrived on CRAN this morning. The packages offers a clean C++ layer (as well as one small C++ helper class) on top of the C API for R which aims to make use of this robust (if awkward) C API a little easier and more consistent. See the vignette for motivating This release follows a similar release in_November and had its hand forced by rather abrupt and forced overnight changes in R-devel, this time the removal of VECTOR_PTR in [this commit]. The release also contains changes accumulated since the last release (including some kindly contritbuted by Ivan) and those are signs that the R Core team can do more coordinated release management when they try a little harder. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1979 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/05/Red_Hat_aFedora_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/05/Red_Hat_aFedora_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat and Fedora Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 05, 2026, updated Mar 05, 2026 * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_collaborate_with_Hey_Hi_(AI)_to_improve_your_Ansible skills⠀⇛ In January of 2023, I wrote an article about using an Hey Hi (AI) assistant to write Ansible_Playbooks. At that time, I was not too impressed with the results. But I kept exploring AI, and I have to admit that now (February 2026) things look much better. The following is an article coached by me, but mostly written by Hey Hi (AI) and edited by a human. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Estimate_GPU_memory_for_LLM_fine-tuning_with_Red_Bait_AI⠀⇛ Training Hub is an open source Python package that lets you fine-tune a pre-trained language model on a dataset of your choice, It is available as an open source package hosted on PyPI, and a downstream build is available on the Red Bait Python Index for use in Red_Hat_OpenShift_AI workbenches as part of Red_Hat_Hey_Hi_(AI)_3.0. While language models are already powerful out of the box, fine-tuning a model on your dataset can improve its ability to handle specific tasks, making it more reliable for your business needs. * ⚓ Peter 'CzP' Czanik ☛ New_toy:_Installing_Fedora_GNU/Linux_on_the_HP_Z2 Mini⠀⇛ The data sheet of my new AI-focused_mini_workstation_from_HP does not mention Fedora, but I could install it just fine. I expected this though, because when I asked around about GNU/ Linux support and hardware Hey Hi (AI) acceleration for AMD Ryzen 39X chips, all responses came from Fedora users… :-) Installing Fedora on the HP Z2 Mini was a smooth experience, even though I hadn’t used the graphical installer for ages. I installed the Fedora server variant during Covid, and I’m upgrading it ever since. Still, using the graphical installer was easy, so Fedora was up and running in no time. * ⚓ Tim_Waugh:_Logsqueak:_Rescuing_Insights_from_the_Logseq_Journal⠀⇛ I’ve been using Logseq for a year now and it’s become the backbone of my workflow. I have pages dedicated to specific topics, concepts, projects, meetings… all sorts of things. During my day, when I want to note something down or write something out to think about it, the daily Logseq journal is the obvious place for it to go. It has been an invaluable habit to build. But there’s a catch: the journal can easily become a black hole. It ends up as a chaotic mix of meeting notes, fleeting thoughts, random ideas, task lists and the occasional moment of genuine insight. Most of the time, I try to link journal items to the relevant pages. Sometimes I remember to update those pages in light of new information. But other times I forget, and those insights get buried in the timeline, only resurfacing if I explicitly search for them. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Open_data_and_the_AI_resilience_premium⠀⇛ In 2026, the most forward-looking companies are starting to let go of the instinct to hold data tightly. Instead, they are focusing on what you might call a resilience advantage: working in open, collaborative networks that increase strength and flexibility instead of further isolation. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ New_observability_features_in_Red_Hat_OpenShift_4.21 and_Red_Hat_Advanced_Cluster_Management_for_Kubernetes_2.16⠀⇛ The cluster observability operator (COO) acts as a "meta- operator". Its primary job is to deploy and manage independent monitoring stacks that do not interfere with the core OpenShift metrics. In addition to this, the operator ships observability UI plugins and related advanced analytics features, including signal correlation (powered by Korrel8r) and incident detection for OpenShift. With the latest release, we announce the availability of two brand new features. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2089 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/05/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/05/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 05, 2026 * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Wednesday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (container- tools:rhel8, firefox, go-rpm-macros, kernel, kernel-rt, mingw- fontconfig, nginx:1.24, thunderbird, and valkey), Debian (gimp), Fedora (apt, avr-binutils, keylime, keylime-agent-rust, perl-Crypt-URandom, python-apt, and rsync), Red Hat (go-rpm- macros and yggdrasil-worker-package-manager), Slackware (python3), SUSE (busybox, cosign, cups, docker, evolution-data- server, freerdp, glibc, gnome-remote-desktop, go1.24-openssl, go1.25-openssl, govulncheck-vulndb, libpng16, libsoup, libssh, libxml2, patch, postgresql14, postgresql15, postgresql16, postgresql17, postgresql18, python, python311, rust-keylime, smc-tools, tracker-miners, and zlib), and Ubuntu (curl, imagemagick, intel-microcode, linux, linux-aws, linux-kvm, linux-aws, linux-aws-5.15, linux-gcp-5.15, linux-hwe-5.15, linux-ibm, linux-ibm-5.15, linux-nvidia-tegra-5.15, linux- nvidia-tegra-igx, linux-oracle-5.15, linux-aws-fips, and linux- raspi, linux-raspi-5.4). * ⚓ SANS ☛ Want_More_XWorm,_(Wed,_Mar_4th)⠀⇛ * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Nation-State_iOS_Exploit_Kit_‘Coruna’_Found_Powering Global_Attacks⠀⇛ Google and iVerify analysis reveals a powerful exploit kit originally used by Russian state actors that is now appearing in broader criminal campaigns. * ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Attackers_are_using_your_network_against_you, according_to_Clownflare [Ed: Clownflare itself is a threat to both sites and visitors]⠀⇛ Blind spots in complex cloud environments allow identity-based attacks to achieve the same outcome as complex malware or zero- day exploits.

March is when it "formally" counts as spring. Today is the hottest day of this year (so far), about 17 degrees in early March, which is exceptionally nice, so we spent time at the garden in the sun, where the birds roam around. Not many articles from us today. We take advantage of the good weather. Having had so little sunlight since before Christmas (this has been noted in British media, we had weird a season like this) it felt particularly nice and I fell asleep like a baby with my Discman (preowned) that I bought for a pound - people offload these and some 1990s CDs alongside them (while storage prices soar). Tomorrow the sun will be gone, but it'll still be quite warm. I no longer take a laptop outdoors, a music player is more than enough; simple life, happy life. Tomorrow it'll be back to normal. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Spring ⢰⣆⣺⣿⣶⢂⢈⢋⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠞⣾⣄⣆⣀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⢀⡄⡀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⠀⢀⡀⠒⠒⠀⣷⣦⠀⠐⠆⠀⠀⢰⣶⣦⡀⠀⣴⣄⠀⡀⠀⡆⠀⣿⣿⡆⠀⣤⣠⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢸⣿⣿⠻⣾⣌⠉⣿⣿⠀⢰⡆⠀⠀⢻⡿⢻⣿⡀⢀⣤⡴⠂⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡏⠓⠀⡔⠈⠈⣿⣿⣿⣟⠛⡀⠸⠏⠇⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣇⠀⠁⡟⠀⡀⣰⣧⡀⢿⣿⠇⠀⢨⡏⣹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠈⠷⣠⡴⠁⢨⠘⣿⠻⢰⡿⠗⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠇⢘⣿⢟⡶⠀⠀⠀⢻⡿⢂⡾⠀⠁⠀⠀⠉⠙⠛⢻⡒⠩⣴⣦⡀⠀⡻⣿⣏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣷⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⡏⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⢃⣿⢀⣆⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀ ⣸⡀⢻⠇⠀⠈⢻⣧⠰⠘⣀⠀⠀⢰⡄⠀⠘⢿⠀⠚⠻⢻⣽⣷⠀⠀⠘⡟⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣧⡀⠉⢹⡤⢦⣑⣿⡟⢀⡼⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⡅⠀⢠⣾⡿⠆⠀⠀⢰⡀⣿⣎⣌⣳⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⠀ ⢋⡁⠸⠀⠀⠀⠟⣟⠀⣷⣿⡷⠀⣼⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⢿⡟⠛⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣽⣇⠀⠘⢳⢇⣯⣿⣿⣾⡇⠀⠀⡀⣁⣿⣿⣽⡿⠀⡇⠀⣀⣹⣇⠀⢠⣄⡘⢂⣿⣿⣿⢿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇ ⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⣰⠀⣿⣷⣿⣿⡃⠀⣯⣾⡇⠀⠀⠀⢻⣦⣶⣦⣄⠄⢠⢠⣸⠐⢷⣿⣭⣥⡖⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠟⠁⣤⢹⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⡇⠠⠀⣙⣭⣿⣿⡿⣧⢸⡇⡀⢻⢿⠻⠧⣼⡿⢗⣹⣿⣿⣻⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿ ⣼⠇⢠⠄⢮⣼⣷⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠸⠉⡏⢁⡄⠀⠀⠰⣶⢟⣏⠀⡀⠂⠀⣾⡏⠀⠈⢿⣽⣿⡀⢀⡆⠀⠁⠀⣸⡿⣿⣝⣵⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣼⣿⣿⢘⣿⣦⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷ ⢿⣄⠀⣸⣰⣷⣽⣿⣿⡿⣧⡅⢨⡆⡃⢨⡏⣠⡁⠈⡁⣿⡟⠂⠁⠀⢸⡏⠿⠴⠧⠸⠉⣿⡇⢨⡅⠀⣸⡄⣫⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⢸⣯⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣾⠁⠀⠌⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⢉⡁⠈⡁⠀⣸⡇⣹⣉⣿⣷⣽⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⠠⢠⣀⠀⠀⠿⡇⢀⡀⠘⢿⡇⣮⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣽⣿⡞⣿⣿⣿⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿ ⡿⢷⣬⡄⡾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠤⠾⠟⢉⣧⣷⣿⡇⣻⣿⣾⣋⣻⡯⠀⠀⢠⣷⠀⠾⢘⠉⡇⠆⠀⠃⢙⠇⠀⢾⣿⡾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣷⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣮⣿⠊⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣿⡟⣯⣝⣷⢹⣽⣯⣿⣾⣿⡆⡄⣿⣇⠀⠀⠘⠛⠃⣤⠀⠐⠾⠃⠤⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣝⢿⣷⣿⣧⣤⣾⡿⣽⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟ ⣿⣾⣿⣤⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣷⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠁⢾⠇⢠⣿⣆⠈⢾⢂⡀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠗⠠⣰⣞⣼⣿⣿⡧⠈⣟⢹⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⡿⡟⣿⣯⣿⢻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣼⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⡇⡃⡯⠁⡟⡾⠘⢼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⡏ ⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠃⣀⠀⢷⣷⡀⣨⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡅ ⢹⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠗⣿⢏⢻⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣓⣾⣾⣃⣍⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⡧⡏⠂⠰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣶⣾⣿⣿⣇⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡽⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⡿⣻⠛⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣽⣯ ⢻⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣸⣽⣧⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣽⣿⠿⠿⣟⣋⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯ ⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣡⣿⣿⣿⣹⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠗⠟⠟⢿⣿⣿⠿⣿⡿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣻⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣟ ⢹⢷⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠸⣿⣾⠀⢠⣿⣾⣿⢿⣿⣿⡭⣶⣆⡬⡺⣿⣿⠁⢀⣿⣇⣿⣿⣇⡱⠻⠛⢻⣻⠟⠛⠛⢻⣟⠙⢉⠋⠉⠉⠈⠈⠉⠉⠉⢑⠠⡈⡪⣽⣿⣯⣶⣥⡰⣏⣹⣿⡿⢿⣿⢗⣀⢀⣿⣿⣄⣻⣿⠏ ⣾⣼⣿⣯⣯⣿⡂⠰⣶⣿⣿⣥⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣤⣬⣽⡴⠦⠖⢛⡽⠟⣛⡿⠿⢿⣟⠿⠿⣛⠿⠿⢀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠐⢐⣏⣸⣿⣯⣿⣿⡷⣿⡿⡇⠿⣿⡯⣄⣪⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏ ⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣯⡥⠾⢟⣫⣿⡿⠟⠛⠙⠛⠛⠛⠷⠶⠿⠶⠤⠥⢤⣁⣀⣀⣤⣤⣨⡄⡀⠀⠉⠉⢚⣛⡻⡷⠆⠶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⢷⣈⣮⢿⣏⣿⣿⡿⠽⠩⠃⣿⣾⣿⣿⡇ ⠀⠉⠉⠉⠋⠛⠛⠻⠾⣿⣿⡯⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣆⠀⠀⠰⠦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠪⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡭⢽⣼⣿⣿⡿⠍⠁⠀⠨⢻⠻⠙⠙⠃ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠓⠞⠷⠤⠀⡀⣀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠈⠁⢀⣄⣀⡉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣮⣏⣯⣿⣦⣤⣙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡻⣉⣿⣯⣯⠀⠀⠀⣜⡟⢰⡄⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢠⣤⣴⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⠗⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠼⣿⣿⣧⡤⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣯⣩⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⡿⣿⡇⠀⠰⠤⣙⠛⠻⣇⢀⠄ ⠀⠐⠂⠛⠛⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣄⣄⣄⣴⣴⣶⣶⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢼⣿⣶⣶⣮⣝⣿⠿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠟⢃⣨⠮⠕⢂⢠⣿⣾⣿⡃ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣴⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⢠⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⠤⡽⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣷⣶⠶⠄⠀⠀⢘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⢔⢹⣽⢿⣿⣽⣻⣻⣿⠤⡧⢾⣷⡀⡘⣣⡨⢀⣾⣿⣝⡋⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣤⣤⣛⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⣠⣾⣿⡿⠶⠾⣿⣧⣴⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⣷⣗⡷⣿⣿⣳⡫⣟⡿⡿⣿⣿⣷⣼⣋⢀⣾⣿⣿⠔⠪⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⣙⣛⠛⠛⠛⠋⢉⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⠕⣕⣟⣴⡿⢾⡿⣨⠿⢟⣿⣿⡯⣯⠁⠁⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣴⣶⣖⣾⣵⣈⣈⣛⣋⣉⡛⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡮⢎⣗⣙⣝⣽⡟⡞⠛⠲⠿⣞⣻⣷⣤⣤⣴⡆ ⢀⡀⣀⣐⡶⣶⣮⣛⡻⠏⣤⣤⣌⣉⣉⡉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⢾⡽⠓⢉⣽⣾⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⡔⣿⣿⣿⢿⡿⣿⡶⢳⣯⢼⣟⣻⡶⣶⢾⣿⣷⣿⡿⣿⣿⣣ ⠸⠿⠷⠤⣯⣼⣁⣛⣮⡿⢶⠪⠭⠯⠭⠿⠟⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⣄⠆⠶⠶⠶⠆⠿⠟⠊⢠⢴⡯⠃⠉⠁⢹⣿⠛⠿⣿⢯⣷⣿⣿⣷⡧⣷⣽⣶⣾⣿⣷⣿⣧⠏⣽⢟⡛⠛⠾⠻⢳⣿⡅ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣴⣾⣶⣶⣶⣰⣿⣶⣿⣷⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡤⠶⠚⠛⠓⠒⠛⠛⠋⠀⢀⡠⠤⠖⠶⠲⠆⠿⠘⠁⢸⡼⡿⢹⣯⣿⣆⡲⠾⣍⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣷⡿⣿⣾⠟⠋⠁⠈⠳⠿⣿⢃⣤⣤⣄⡀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠐⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠊⠁⡐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠔⠆⡹⣦⠈⠓⠒⠐⠀⠉⠃⠃⠇⠐⠂⠂⣽⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣠⡶⣶⢢⠲⣷⣦⡀⠙⠸⠧⠼⠽⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣙⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣋⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⢈⠀⠫⠀⢀⠀⢁⠁⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⠃⠐⠞⢱⣯⣾⣿⣿⢿⣿⠿⠟⢳⡿⣿⣲⣦⡀⣀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠤⣶⣿⣿⣻⣻⣚⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣾⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠑⠂⠀⠀⠀⠈⢁⣩⢀⠀⠅⠀⠀⠀⠤⠀⠰⠒⣚⠻⢧⡌⢣⡕⢻⡻⣷⣖⣺⡹⠽⠉⣸⣿⣷⡦⠐ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2256 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/05/Stable_kernels_Linux_6_19_6_Linux_6_18_16_Linux_6_12_75_Linux_6.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/05/Stable_kernels_Linux_6_19_6_Linux_6_18_16_Linux_6_12_75_Linux_6.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Stable kernels: Linux 6.19.6, Linux 6.18.16, Linux 6.12.75, Linux 6.6.128, Linux 6.1.165, Linux 5.15.202, and Linux 5.10.252⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 05, 2026 I'm announcing the release of the 6.19.6 kernel.

Think of curl as a web browser that lives in the terminal and works with raw text. This idea sounds pretty simple, but it's also why curl is omnipresent in modern tech. Even though modern alternatives exist (like wget), curl is not going anywhere. If you spend some time working with Linux, you will inevitably end up running a curl command.

I’m not sure why other than it was cheap and used from eBay. I, however, decided to treat this as an opportunity instead of crying in my beard. Something I’ve planned for a while now, but had been putting off, is a significant refactoring of my home lab. My setup consisted of a huge HP workstation with a Xeon processor and 128GB of ECC RAM. It was entirely overkill for what I used it for, and it was costing some serious money to keep running around the clock. * ⚓ Darren Goossens ☛ Gmail_on_FreeDOS_(or_MSDOS)_in_2026_–_DSPACE⠀⇛ In 2026, you can get Gmail on your DOS computer.

Debian 12 Bookworm and Debian 11 Bullseye still provide OpenJDK 17 in their default repositories, while Debian 13 Trixie does not, so Java 17 there comes from Temurin through Adoptium. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Navidrome_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Navidrome is an open-source, self-hosted music streaming server that gives you complete control over your digital music collection. Unlike commercial streaming platforms, Navidrome lets you stream your personal music library from anywhere while maintaining privacy and avoiding subscription fees. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Passbolt_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Managing passwords across a team is one of those problems that sneaks up on you — until a credential gets leaked or someone leaves and nobody knows what they had access to. If you’re running a GNU/Linux environment and want full control over your password infrastructure, Passbolt is the answer. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_IPTVnator_on_Manjaro⠀⇛ Finding a capable, open-source IPTV player on GNU/Linux that actually works without constant fiddling is a real challenge. If you’re a Manjaro user tired of clunky browser workarounds or unstable media players, IPTVnator is exactly what you need. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Siege_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Deploying a web application without stress-testing it first is like opening a restaurant without a trial service — everything looks fine until real traffic hits and the server collapses. If you’re running Fedora 43 and want to know how your web server performs under load, Siege is the tool you need. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Postman_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ If you work with Hey Hi (AI) daily, a clunky testing workflow costs you real time. Postman is the industry- standard API platform trusted by over 40 million developers worldwide — and getting it running on Fedora 43 is easier than most people think. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_OSSEC_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Linux servers face constant threats — from brute-force SSH attacks to silent rootkits running undetected for weeks. If you’re running Debian 13 (Trixie) without a Host-based Intrusion Detection System (HIDS), your server is flying blind. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Snort_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Network security has become a critical concern for organizations and individuals alike in today’s interconnected digital landscape. Snort, one of the most widely deployed open-source Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), provides powerful capabilities for monitoring network traffic and detecting potential security threats. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_OBS_Studio_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ OBS Studio is the gold standard for open-source screen recording and live streaming on GNU/Linux — and if you’re running Fedora 43, getting it installed correctly is easier than you think. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Linux_Fu:_The_USB_WiFi_Dongle_Exercise⠀⇛ If you’ve used Linux for a long time, you know that we are spoiled these days. Getting a new piece of hardware back in the day was often a horrible affair, requiring custom kernels and lots of work. Today, it should be easier. The default drivers on most distros cover a lot of ground, kernel modules make adding drivers easier, and dkms can automate the building of modules for specific kernels, even if it isn’t perfect. So ordering a cheap WiFi dongle to improve your old laptop’s network connection should be easy, right? Obviously, the answer is no or this would be a very short post. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3148 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/05/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/05/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 05, 2026 * § Desktop/Laptop⠀➾ o ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ I_can't_use_Linux_as_my_daily_driver_anymore⠀⇛ This isn't about Windows being better than Linux, nor is it about Linux being the ultimate.

Unfortunately, sRGB isn’t a great choice for color photography. It has a relatively narrow gamut; it can’t actually represent most of the greens that people can see. It’s also not a great space for editing pictures.Averaging two numerical color values in sRGB doesn’t quite give you the visual result that you’d expect all the time. So the usual color-managed photography workflow was to edit images in some ideal, large-gamut color profile, then save “real” images in a wider-gamut space like AdobeRGB, and finally export an 8-bit JPEG in sRGB for sharing online. But, while it wasn’t ideal, it was Good Enough. So, I stopped paying attention to colors on the web 15 years ago. Just about everyone else did too. So I was kind of shocked to discover recently that this had all quietly changed over the past few years. We’re almost at a point where we can (and should) retire sRGB, at least for photography and video. There are a few developments that have been quietly pushing us forward behind the scenes: [...] # ⚓ Kevin McDonald ☛ HTTP/2_From_Scratch:_Part_3⠀⇛ In the last two posts, we established a raw TCP connection, navigated the TLS handshake with ALPN to select “h2”, and built a parser that can read the 9-byte frames of an HTTP/2 connection. We have a synchronized, acknowledged connection. Now it’s time to do what we came for: request a web page. This is where HTTP/2 departs dramatically from its predecessor. There is no GET / HTTP/1.1. Instead, we enter the world of compressed headers, pseudo- headers, and stateful tables.

Whether it’s jokes about Snap packages or criticism of Canonical’s decisions, mocking Ubuntu often feels like the default attitude in parts of the Linux community. To be fair, Canonical has made decisions over the years that have not always been well received, and some of the criticisms of Ubuntu and the direction it’s taken have their own merit. Yet, the derisive way Ubuntu is often talked about online isn’t particularly fair and, frankly, misses the point. Ubuntu didn’t become the “face of Linux” by accident, nor did it gain its popularity and mass appeal (both on the desktop and servers) without real, solid reasons behind it. For many, it is in fact these same reasons that cause them to feel so passionately about the shift in direction since the early days.
