One feature of books like it is that they tend to have two audiences: people who don’t know anything about the topic, and who’d like to learn something about it, and people who know a lot, at least in relative terms, and who have forgotten what it’s like not to know it. When the first edition came out, one of the early Amazon reviews was a complaint that the book seemed “pretty introductory” in its content. I mean, my Brother in Christ, that is right there in the title. o ⚓ [Old] ESR ☛ The_Art_of_Unix_Programming⠀⇛ o ⚓ [Old] ESR ☛ The_Cathedral_and_the_Bazaar⠀⇛ o ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_RProtoBuf_0.4.26_on_CRAN: More_Maintenance⠀⇛ A new maintenance release 0.4.26 of RProtoBuf language and operating-system agnostic protocol.

That's roughly 1,000 per month or 12,000 per year, a little more than in_the_sister_site. Traffic-wise and activity-wise we've never had a better year in our entire history.

Bill's insights on data and its implications sparked further exploration. Various application managers and upcoming events were shared, while a poll gauged interest in switching to iOS if sideloading is lost. Participants also linked their projects and resources. * ⚓ Going Linux ☛ Going_Linux_#476_·_Encryption_-_Introduction⠀⇛ This episode is an introductory guide to the fundamentals of encryption. We define essential terminology such as plaintext, ciphertext, and algorithms while distinguishing between symmetric and asymmetric cryptography. Beyond basic concepts, the source explores modern security applications like secure browsing and end-to-end messaging, alongside emerging technologies like post-quantum and homomorphic encryption. The episode emphasizes that digital privacy is a fundamental human right, protecting users from identity theft, mass surveillance, and data tampering. We highlight tools like Signal and Proton Mail to offer practical advice for maintaining digital trust in an increasingly data-driven world. The episode concludes by framing encryption as the primary defense for financial and personal safety in the modern era. * ⚓ Tux Digital ☛ This_Week_in_Linux_339:_Motorola_+_GrapheneOS,_Bazzite, Bunsenlabs,_Age_Verify_is_getting_WORSE_&_more_GNU/Linux_news⠀⇛ This week in Linux, Motorola announced something really cool, they are partnering with the Android fork GrapheneOS.

Our recent blog post blog post ACID Transactions Are Hard At Scale … Part 1 discusses why Consistency and Isolation at scale are hard, and ACID Transactions Are Hard At Scale … Part 2 discusses how YottaDB meets that need. This blog post discusses why ACID transaction Durability is hard at scale, and how YottaDB achieves it. * ⚓ Jake Howard ☛ Moving_on_from_Gandi:_Registrar_and_DNS_migration_:: TheOrangeOne⠀⇛ DNS is the cornerstone of any infrastructure. Us humans are terrible at remembering strings of numbers (162.55.181.67), but we're good at remembering words (theorangeone.net). When people own a domain, there are 2 components involved: the registrar and name servers. For the last 9 months, Gandi has served served as both for me, and as just the registrar for longer still. As a service, they've been great. I've not had a single outage or weird blip with their offering. However, after a Mastodon thread, I was prompted to look back and see quite how much I was paying. Many years ago, Gandi was the go to for people wanting to avoid big US tech for their domains, and get a secure, high quality, no BS domain service. However, since their purchase in early 2023, their prices have skyrocketed, and their previous legendary position has faded. They're not the same company they were 3 years ago, and it shows. Realising that I don't want to pay the "Gandi tax" to stay with them, and I can probably get a similar (or better) service elsewhere, I started the hunt. What I'd hoped would be a small bit of research turned into a much deeper dive than I expected. Not because the landscape is muddy, nor because my requirements were too niche (or so I thought), but because where just isn't as much competition as you'd think. * ⚓ Hironobu Suzuki ☛ The_Internals_of_PostgreSQL⠀⇛ PostgreSQL is a well-designed, open-source multi-purpose relational database system which is widely used throughout the world. It is one huge system with the integrated subsystems, each of which has a particular complex feature and works cooperatively with each other. Although understanding of the internal mechanism is crucial for both administration and integration using PostgreSQL, its hugeness and complexity make it difficult. The main purposes of this document are to explain how each subsystem works, and to provide the whole picture of PostgreSQL. This document covers versions 18 and earlier. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 994 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/08/digiKam_9_0_Open_Source_Photo_Manager_Released_as_a_Massive_Upd.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/08/digiKam_9_0_Open_Source_Photo_Manager_Released_as_a_Massive_Upd.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ digiKam 9.0 Open-Source Photo Manager Released as a Massive Update⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Mar 08, 2026, updated Mar 08, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇digiKam_9.0⦈_ Highlights of digiKam 9.0 include a dedicated Qt 6 port for a more modern UI/UX experience across all supported platforms, along with a redesigned Welcome page in a more modern style, as well as completely revamped GUIs of the File Copy and File Transfer dialogs for better usability.

The system identifies which payphone you're calling from. The first caller to each phone earns 20 points, the second gets 10, the third gets 5, and everyone after that earns 1.

My main objective there was the GCompris workshop in FOSDEM Junior track. It was an experimental one with the initiative from the organizer since it was only the third year that this track existed. The workshop had way more adult attendees interested in GCompris for their children than children themselves. So, naturally, it turned more into a dev room than a workshop.

A sentence that I never really liked, and what is happening with AI, about software projects reimplementations, shows all the limits of such an idea. Many people are protesting the fairness of rewriting existing projects using AI. But, a good portion of such people, during the 90s, were already in the field: they followed the final part (started in the ‘80s) of the deeds of Richard Stallman, when he and his followers were reimplementing the UNIX userspace for the GNU project. The same people that now are against AI rewrites, back then, cheered for the GNU project actions (rightly, from my point of view – I cheered too). Stallman is not just a programming genius, he is also the kind of person that has a broad vision across disciplines, and among other things he was well versed in the copyright nuances. He asked the other programmers to reimplement the UNIX userspace in a specific way. A way that would make each tool unique, recognizable, compared to the original copy. Either faster, or more feature rich, or scriptable; qualities that would serve two different goals: to make GNU Hurd better and, at the same time, to provide a protective layer against litigations. If somebody would claim that the GNU implementations were not limited to copying ideas and behaviours (which is legal), but “protected expressions” (that is, the source code verbatim), the added features and the deliberate push towards certain design directions would provide a counter argument that judges could understand. He also asked to always reimplement the behavior itself, avoiding watching the actual implementation, using specifications and the real world mechanic of the tool, as tested manually by executing it. Still, it is fair to guess that many of the people working at the GNU project likely were exposed or had access to the UNIX source code.

It's a concept called Operational Security, or OPSEC. Think about how the Secret Service operates. They don't publish the exact thickness of the armor on the presidential limousine, and they certainly don't post blueprints of their safe houses on social control media. They treat their VIP with absolute, silent protection. Your personal data is your VIP. The best digital fortresses are the ones nobody even knows exist. Good OPSEC isn't just about hiding information. It's about designing systems so that a single failure can't bring everything down. Backups are where that philosophy becomes practical. Rather than describing a specific personal setup, we'll walk through one potential reference architecture that incorporates some ransomware-resistant principles. Imagine a setup where you have a variety of computers throughout your home. You could back up each of those machines individually, with each machine using its own backup drives, but that would be duplicating work. If a machine gets infected with malware while the backup drive is plugged in, your backup is encrypted along with your primary files. The smarter approach is to dedicate a single, physical machine on the LAN to act as a centralized backup server. Every computer in the house is configured to automatically back up to this central server over the network using the BorgBackup backup utility. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ The_man_who_built_an_operating_system_for_God_and then_lost_everything⠀⇛ As TempleOS spread through programming forums, Davis developed a small but intense following. Some people saw the technical achievement and were genuinely impressed. Others treated him like an internet spectacle. And because the internet rarely does nuance well, the tone around him could swing wildly depending on where you looked. Meanwhile, his public behavior was becoming increasingly erratic, often reflecting the progression of his schizophrenia. You can watch old clips where he is sharp, funny, clearly and deeply knowledgeable. And then other moments where the illness is painfully visible. That contrast is hard to unsee once you notice it. Tech culture loves the myth of the lone genius. It is much less comfortable when the human cost of that isolation is sitting right there on the screen. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Kevin_Fenzi:_misc_fedora_bits_first_week_of_march_2026⠀⇛ § Secure boot signing I also made some more progress on my secure boot signing setup, but then i hit a blocker. I was able to sign grub and kernel for aarch64, but it doesn't actually boot. (I have my lenovo slim7x and also another aarch64 box that supports secure boot to test with). Hopefully we can get to the bottom of that soon so we can switch things on. I really hope we can have it running before Fedora 44 final freeze. This also has been a long road. # ⚓ !_Avi_Alkalay_¡:_Ideal_Laptop⠀⇛ Do you remember the most important characteristics you should look for in a good laptop?

It’s not AI. It’s not having huge storage capacity. It’s not a large physical size. It’s not having more than 8 GB of memory (memory is not storage).

This in turn lead to numerous discussion on how to solve the problem, and the recurring theme was funding maintenance work. While I’m definitely not opposed to giving people money for their FLOSS work, if you think that throwing some bucks will actually solve the problem, and especially if you think that you can just throw them once and then forget, I have bad news for you: it won’t. Surely, money is a big part of the problem, but it’s not the only reason people are getting burned out. It’s a systemic problem, and it’s in need of systemic solution, and that’s involves a lot of hard work to undo everything that’s happened in the last, say, 20 years.

The Ubuntu 25.10 review includes an overview of the system, benchmarks, storage and networking (2.5GbE and WiFi 6) performance testing, and measurements of CPU temperature under stress, fan noise levels, and power consumption of the mini PC under various workloads. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Linux_hacked_onto_a_PS5_to_turn_Sony's_console_into_a Steam_Machine_—_GTA_V_Enhanced_Edition_runs_at_60_FPS_on_1440pwith_ray tracing⠀⇛ As the video below shows, that's a PS5 Slim running full-fat Linux with no illusions. Now that it's a PC, it can do anything a standard computer can, which includes running GTA V Enhanced Edition via Steam. It's set to 1440p resolution, with ray tracing enabled as denoted by the "High RT" preset in settings. The gameplay is steady at a smooth 60 FPS with barely any fluctuation, and even the sound is working. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Engineer_receives_$30,000_for_exposing_a_vulnerability affecting_7,000_robot_vacuum_cleaners_—_tinkerer_just_wanted_to_drive_his robot_vacuum_with_a_PS5_controller⠀⇛ It all started earlier this year, when Sammy Azdoufal wanted to control his robotic hoover with something more convenient than a smartphone screen. To control his DJI Romo using his PS5 gamepad, Azdoufal had to develop a custom controller app that used his security token to verify to his vacuum cleaner that he was the owner of the device. To extract that token, he needed to work with DJI's cloud servers to reverse-engineer the authorization process, which he successfully did using the assistance of an AI coding tool. As it turned out, instead of verifying a single robot, DJI’s backend granted broad access rights to some 7,000 robot vacuum cleaners located in 24 countries, along with their sensor and data stored in the cloud. * ⚓ iFixit ☛ Lenovo’s_New_T-Series_ThinkPads_Score_10/10_for_Repairability -_iFixit⠀⇛ There are “repairable” laptops, and then there are ThinkPad T- series laptops: the ones corporate IT buys by the pallet, images by the thousands, and expects to survive years of all- day use. During their lives they’ll weather countless commutes, on-the-go presentations, and inevitable splashes of coffee. That’s why Lenovo’s newest ThinkPads are such a big deal: the new T14 Gen 7 and T16 Gen 5 score an eye-popping 10 out of 10 on our repairability scale. It’s the first time the T-series has ever earned our top rating. (The score is provisional, for now—we’ll finalize it when official parts and instructions become available through Lenovo’s support site, which we fully expect will happen in the near future.) * ⚓ iFixit ☛ Macbook_Neo_Shows_how_far_Apple’s_repairability_design_has fallen_-_iFixit⠀⇛ Apple’s MacBooks haven’t always been monolithic, barely repairable slabs of aluminum, glass, and glue. They used to be almost delightful in their repairable features, from their batteries to their Wi-Fi cards. Powerbooks, iBooks, and especially early MacBooks showed what happens when Apple applies its design skills directly to repairability and maintenance, instead of to thinness above all. Today we’re going to take a look at the best repairability features that Apple has ditched. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2010 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/08/Service_Under_Maintenance_5_Days_From_Now.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/08/Service_Under_Maintenance_5_Days_From_Now.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Service Under Maintenance 5 Days From Now⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 08, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Woman_reading⦈_ "Service Under Maintenance" says the server's host, which has already come under_a_barrage_of_abuse_and_threats.

"Bottle" has been visiting all day long, watching me while I type and getting about 10 feedings per day. All the other birds seem to be doing OK and the limping bird gradually recovers. Great stuff! It has now been two months since we last got nagged by a neighbour about the birds. We still feed them, and we've been getting no hassle over it. Sometimes the neighbours feed them as_well. This comes to show how persistence and principles pay off. No matter the inconvenient of the bother, it's important to push back and stand for one's beliefs.

First, creative professionals need the low-latency Linux kernel. That kernel ensures there's minimal lag between, say, hitting a note on a music instrument and the output from the computer. Or, if they're scrubbing through the timeline on a video editor, the view port should update instantly. Ubuntu Studio uses this kernel by default. Most Linux distros ship with generic kernels. And swapping them out with low-latency versions is not trivial, especially for beginners. Even for power users, it's more trouble than it's worth, in my opinion.

Linuxize ☛ wc_Cheatsheet⠀⇛ Quick reference for counting lines, words, bytes, characters, and longest line length with wc in Linux * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Restricting_IP_address_access_to_specific_ports in_eBPF:_a_sketch⠀⇛ The other day I covered how I think systemd's IPAddressAllow and IPAddressDeny restrictions work, which unfortunately only allows you to limit this to specific (local) ports only if you set up the sockets for those ports in a separate systemd.socket unit. Naturally this raises the question of whether there is a good, scalable way to restrict access to specific ports in eBPF that systemd (or other interested parties) could use. I think the answer is yes, so here is a sketch of how I think you'd this. * ⚓ Another_LVs_reconfiguration_on_ArchLinux_as_of_03/07/2026⠀⇛ Create root and home LVs as suggested by system during arch- install run-time . * ⚓ peppe8o ☛ How_to_install_Gogs_on_Raspberry_PI:_Self-Hosted,_Private_Git Web_Portal⠀⇛ In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to setup a private Git web portal on a cheap board, installing Gogs on a Raspberry PI. I’ll use a Raspberry PI 5 Model B, but this tutorial also works with newer Raspberry PI boards. * ⚓ Will Keleher ☛ this_css_proves_me_human⠀⇛ Here’s your blog post written in a stylized way that will appeal to highly technical readers. Is there anything else I can help you with? * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Alacritty_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ If you have spent any time on a GNU/Linux system, you already know how much a fast, reliable terminal matters. Default terminal emulators get the job done, but when you are compiling code, managing servers, or running dozens of tabs through tmux, performance starts to drag. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Mattermost_on_AlmaLinux_10⠀⇛ If your team is tired of paying monthly SaaS bills just to keep conversations private, you already know the pain. Cloud-based tools like Slack hand your data to a third- party vendor — and that is a risk many DevOps teams, healthcare organizations, and regulated businesses simply cannot accept. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Claude_Code_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS [Ed: Slop engine, plagiarism and bugs]⠀⇛ If you spend most of your day in a terminal, you already know the value of tools that fit your workflow instead of fighting it. Claude Code is Anthropic’s official Hey Hi (AI) coding assistant that runs directly in your shell — no browser tab, no context switching, no IDE plugin required. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Graylog_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Graylog stands as one of the most powerful open-source log management platforms available today, providing system administrators with comprehensive centralized logging capabilities, real-time log analysis, and robust security monitoring features. Organizations worldwide rely on Graylog to aggregate logs from multiple sources, analyze system behaviors, troubleshoot issues efficiently, and maintain security compliance across their infrastructure. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Incus_on_Linux_Mint_22⠀⇛ If you manage GNU/Linux servers or containers, you already know that picking the right container manager makes all the difference. Incus is quickly becoming the go-to choice for developers and sysadmins who want powerful, lightweight container management without the baggage of Snap or Canonical lock-in. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_LogWatch_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ If you manage a GNU/Linux server and you’re not actively reviewing your system logs, you’re flying blind. Security breaches, service failures, and disk problems all leave trails in your logs — but manually reading through /var/ log/ every day simply isn’t realistic. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Homebrew_on_AlmaLinux_10⠀⇛ If you have spent any time managing an AlmaLinux server, you have probably hit the same wall: the package you need is either missing from the default DNF repositories or the available version is several releases behind upstream. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2998 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/08/Web_Browsers_Web_Servers_Nginx_Web_is_bearable_with_RSS_and_Fir.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/08/Web_Browsers_Web_Servers_Nginx_Web_is_bearable_with_RSS_and_Fir.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Web Browsers/Web Servers: Nginx, "Web is bearable with RSS", and Firefox⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 08, 2026 * ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Nginx’s_revised_http2_directive⠀⇛ I have thoughts about HTTP2, surprising nobody.

Enshittification isn't downstream of the "iron laws of economics" or an unrealistic demand by "consumers" to get stuff for free. Enshittification comes from specific policy choices, made by named individuals, that had the foreseeable and foreseen result of making the web worse: [...] o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Frederik Braun ☛ Frederik_Braun:_Perfect_types_with `setHTML()`⠀⇛ TLDR: Use require-trusted-types-for 'script'; trusted-types 'none'; in your CSP and nothing besides setHTML() works, essentially removing all DOM-XSS risks. # ⚓ Frederik Braun ☛ Frederik_Braun:_Composing_Sanitizer configurations⠀⇛ The HTML Sanitizer API allows multiple ways to customize the default allow list and this blog post aims to describe a few variations and tricks we came up with while writing the specification. § Safe and unsafe Configurations Examples in this post will use configuration dictionaries.
