Compatibility⠀⇛ KeePassXC, the community fork of the original KeePass, released new 2.7.12 version today for Linux, Windows, and macOS. The new version of this free open-source password manager application added some changes to improve the compatibility with other password managers and fixed various issues. * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Ghostty_1.3_terminal_released_with_search,_scrollbars_and more⠀⇛ A big update to Ghostty terminal emulator has dropped, delivering a raft of new features like scrollback search, native scrollbars and and process completion notifications. Ghostty 1.3.0 packs in 6 months of development effort: 2,800+ commits from 180 contributors. That means hundreds of performance tweaks, bug fixes and platform optimisations for those using it on macOS, GNU/Linux and FreeBSD (Ghostty isn’t available on Windows). * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ The_excellent_Ghostty_terminal_app_just_got_an_upgrade_on Linux_and_Mac⠀⇛ Your Mac or Linux machine might already have a terminal emulator, but replacements like Ghostty can give you more features and extensive customization options. Ghostty version 1.3 has now arrived with improvements to searching, clipboard, macOS integration, and much more. The most significant improvement in this release might be scroll back search, which allows you to search through your entire terminal session history. The default binding is Cmd+F on Mac or Ctrl+Shift+F on other platforms, and on Mac and Linux, the search bar can be dragged to any of the four corners of the terminal window. The release notes explained, “Search is implemented using a dedicated search thread that operates concurrently with terminal I/O. The thread grabs the terminal lock in small time slices to make forward progress on searching while minimizing impact on I/O throughput or rendering. If you do not use search, or you close the search bar, the search thread exits and does not consume any resources.” ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠋⣡⡀⣠⡄⣠⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠉⠁⠙⠁⠈⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠶⠶⠆⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠰⠶⠶⠶⠶⠦⠔⣶⡶⡶⠲⡆⠀⠶⠆⡆⠰⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠆⠰⠶⠶⠀⠶⠆⠰⠶⠶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠶⠐⠶⠶⠶⠖⠶⠐⠶⠶⠲⠴⠶⠶⠰⠶⠂⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠶⠶⠗⠆⠰⠶⠶⠶⠐⡶⠶⠆⠲⠶⠶⠰⠶⠶⠶⠀⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠿⠇⠀⠒⠀⠒⠀⠐⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠶⠷⠶⠶⠶⠳⠶⠀⠷⠆⠰⠶⠶⠀⠶⠶⠲⠾⠶⠶⠧⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠟⠖⠰⠶⠶⠾⠀⠿⠷⠆⠰⠖⠶⠶⠗⠰⠲⠶⠶⠖⠇⠸⠶⠂⠻⠷⠖⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠰⠖⠶⠾⠶⠞⠧⠀⠲⠶⠶⠰⠶⠶⠆⠶⠶⠖⠸⠿⠶⠀⠟⠞⠟⠶⠶⠾⠶⠶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠯⠧⠇⠸⠺⠿⠿⠷⠷⠇⠰⠻⠿⠷⠗⠘⠝⠾⠀⠯⠷⠟⠻⠟⠷⠐⠿⠿⠿⠸⠟⠋⠷⠗⠇⠸⠏⠾⠗⠗⠇⠸⠺⠻⠯⠻⠆⠸⠾⠞⠟⠧⠷⠻⠞⠿⠻⠟⠟⠾⠺⠸⠷⠳⠣⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡀⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⡀⢘⣛⠛⠛⠓⠒⠛⠛⠻⠺⠛⠛⠀⣀⡀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⡀⡀⠀⠀⢀⠀⡀⠀⢀⢀⢀⣀⡀⡀⣀⢀⢀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠛⠛⡛⠛⡛⣀⣛⣛⣛⣛⢛⢙⣟⠓⡃⣛⣘⢛⠛⠛⠛⢛⠛⠛⠛⠛⡛⡛⠛⠛⠛⢛⠛⠛⠛⠛⡚⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠟⠛⠛⠛⢛⡛⠛⡛⠛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⠘⠛⠿⠛⠛⠓⠘⠛⠂⠛⠛⠛⠛⠁⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠟⠂⠛⠛⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠙⠛⠀⠛⠛⠛⠛⠙⠉⠛⠓⠃⠘⠛⠛⠛⠙⠛⠛⠛⠙⠛⠛⠃⠈⠉⠋⠛⠛⠈⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠛⠃⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠇⠙⠋⠛⠛⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡀⠀⡀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡉⠀⠃⠙⠋⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣉⠀⣄⣀⡀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⢀⣀⣀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿ ⣿⣿⣉⢀⣉⣉⣁⣉⣁⣉⣍⡁⢈⣉⣋⣉⣉⣁⡈⣉⣉⣀⣉⣍⣩⣉⣉⠉⣌⣉⣍⣉⣉⣉⣉⣍⣁⡈⠉⣁⣉⡉⢉⢉⠈⣉⣉⣁⡈⢉⣉⣀⣉⣙⣍⡉⣈⣄⣉⢉⣍⣩⢡⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉ ⣿⣿⣁⢘⣉⣉⣙⣍⠉⣁⣉⣁⣈⣉⠉⣉⡍⢉⣁⣉⣉⠉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⠀⣉⡉⢉⣉⣉⠉⡉⣍⣉⡙⣀⣩⠉⣁⣈⡉⣀⣉⣉⣉⡁⠈⢭⣍⣍⡉⢉⣁⣨⣉⣉⣀⣉⣩⣈⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⡁⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠈⠀⠉⠁⠈⠉⠉⠉⠀⠉⠉⠈⠉⠉⠈⠉⠁⠈⠉⠉⠀⠉⠉⠉⠁⠉⠁⠀⠉⠉⠁⠉⠁⠉⠉⠉⠁⠈⠉⠉⠁⠈⠉⠉⠉⠁⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 264 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/11/BSD_NetBSD_FreeBSD_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/11/BSD_NetBSD_FreeBSD_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ BSD: NetBSD, FreeBSD, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 11, 2026 * ⚓ DragonFly BSD Digest ☛ Another_backup_story⠀⇛ Every few years, something happens and Hammer’s snapshotting saves me. Last week, this host had a power outage and MySQL managed to mangle the WordPress database for this site. Fixing it needed only: [...] * ⚓ Z411 ☛ troubleshooting_BSD_TCP_network_performance_//_wlog⠀⇛ Recently I've been trying the BSD family of operating systems and I've been pleasantly surprised. I am no UNIX evangelist, but what started as mere curiosity (due to ocassionally using Solaris and HP-UX at work) has turned into full blown love for the feeling of simplicity and smoothness that comes with learning and administering the BSDs. That's why I've decided to move my servers to one (or more) of them. In my local network they work perfectly, but when I installed them abroad I noticed some severe disparity in their handling of high latency TCP and HTTP traffic: [...] * ⚓ Z411 ☛ troubleshooting_BSD_TCP_network_performance:_part_2_(fixing NetBSD)⠀⇛ Not only that, but I found out that it can actually hit pretty big numbers if properly tuned, which I'll show below. Maybe kind of unsurprisingly, most of it had to do with the VirtIO driver, which was not only affecting NetBSD, but all of them. * ⚓ Peter 'CzP' Czanik ☛ New_toy:_Installing_FreeBSD_on_the_HP_Z2_Mini⠀⇛ Finally, I also installed FreeBSD on my new AI_focused_mini workstation_from_HP. I even managed to install GNOME on the machine with minimal effort. However, I also ran into many problems. So far it’s a mixed experience. Installation went smoothly, FreeBSD 15.0 was up and running in no time. However, FreeBSD is not found by any of the GNU/Linux boot managers I use (different flavors of GRUB), and it’s not in the EFI boot menu either. The only way I could boot FreeBSD was bringing up the EFI boot menu, choosing boot from file and loading EFI/freebsd/ loader.efi ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 338 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/11/Databases_Postgres_SpacetimeDB_News.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/11/Databases_Postgres_SpacetimeDB_News.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Databases: Postgres, SpacetimeDB News⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 11, 2026 * ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ Just_Use_Postgres⠀⇛ A couple of weeks ago I wrote about storing git repositories in Postgres and built gitgres to prove it worked. Two tables, some PL/pgSQL, a libgit2 backend, and you could push to and clone from a database. The post ended with a missing piece: the server-side pack protocol, the part that lets a Postgres instance serve git push and git clone over HTTP without a separate application in front of it. I built that missing piece as omni_git, a Postgres extension that implements the git smart HTTP protocol inside the database and, when paired with omnigres, turns git push into a deployment mechanism where your SQL files go from git objects in a table to running code in the same Postgres instance. The end result is something like Heroku, except the entire platform is a single Postgres process. You git push a Flask app (or raw SQL, or both) to a Postgres remote, a trigger deploys it, and omnigres starts serving HTTP traffic from it – no reverse proxy, no container runtime, no separate application server. The database is the git host, the build system, and the production runtime. * ⚓ Strcat ☛ SpacetimeDB:_a_short_technical_review⠀⇛ The database market is harsh, particularly for newcomers. It’s very hard to launch a new product and differentiate yourself from the incumbents. Even harder to gain any long term traction. Earlier this week, SpacetimeDB launched version 2.0 of their database with a peculiar approach that —as far as I can tell— hasn’t been done before: a slightly surreal (meme-y) video where they mock their competitors (drinking “competitor’s tears”) and a set of benchmarks that seem too good to be true (they are, indeed, not true), and that also mock other databases. Look at the cute magnifying glass next to the big losers of that benchmark. You gotta zoom in to see how much they suck! Good stuff. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 400 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/11/EasyOS_Excalibur_7_2_2_released_and_more_EasyOS_news.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/11/EasyOS_Excalibur_7_2_2_released_and_more_EasyOS_news.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ EasyOS Excalibur 7.2.2 released and more EasyOS news⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 11, 2026 * ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ EasyOS_Excalibur-series_version_7.2.2_released⠀⇛ Version 7.2.1 was released only a few days ago, see announcement: [...] * ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Attempt_disable_pam_in_Excalibur⠀⇛ Caramel raised the question: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=16526 Which reminded me of what was done in QV: [...] * ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Fix_cifs-utils_in_Excalibur⠀⇛ The guys have been reporting that the 'mount.cifs' utility does not work, see previous blog post: https://bkhome.org/news/202603/have-brought-back-mount-full- utility.html However, Caramel reported that mount.cifs from Easy Scarthgap works: [...] ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 451 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/11/Fewer_Articles_About_GNU_Linux_Statistics.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/11/Fewer_Articles_About_GNU_Linux_Statistics.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Fewer Articles About GNU/Linux Statistics⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 11, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Illustrated_Astronomy⦈_ The latest_additions_to_our_site represent a community that gains size and momentum. It is also a recognition of GNU/Linux becoming a growing force in this planet. And sometimes other planets too (Mars). From what we can gather, we can lay aside for now some articles that track the statistics about GNU/Linux adoption. We've probably made our point since January. What we need to focus on more is Software Freedom. Just "Linux" (e.g. Android) isn't enough for users' liberation. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Illustrated_Astronomy ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣻⠿⡻⠛⢛⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⡿⠿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⡀⢀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠌⠩⠗⠀⠀⠈⠈⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⢰⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠆⠐⠂⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⢀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠰⠠⠠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠄⠤⠰⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠞⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠙⠃⠊⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠂⠋⠐⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⢀⡾⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠋⠀⢰⡦⠄⠀⠋⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠄⠂⠀⠐⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠂⠀⠠⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠰⠳⡄⠀⣠⡞⠁⠀⢀⣾⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠸⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣰⡀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⢠⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣇⡀⢀⣰⣿⣵⣿⠋⢀⡀⢀⡞⣛⡀⣀⡀⠀⢀⢀⠀⣀⠀⠀⣀⣸⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣸⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣶⣿⣿⣿⢻⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣭⣽⣿⣵⣺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠅⡸⢀⡹⣿⠋⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡧⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣟⣿⠝⡿⢙⡓⢸⣉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠐⠀⠀⠀⡎⠐⠘⢿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢠⣧⡌⣾⣷⣘⣿⢛⣻⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠋⢉⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠦⢸⣷⢹⣷⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠄⢀⠀⣰⡃⢠⣤⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡘⣇⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣆⠐⢶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠣⡀⢘⠝⢈⠣⣿⣽⣷⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠈⣐⠋⣗⠼⠉⢸⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⢋⣉⢩⡠⣮⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⣥⣶⠷⣶⣳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣡⣆⣹⢰⡄⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣷⣭⣽⣿⣏⣋⠴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡎⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢐⣿⢷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠘⢿⣧⢀⣇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣬⣉⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⡿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣾⣾⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 536 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/11/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/11/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 11, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇to_do_list⦈_ * ⚓ Taskdog_-_task_management_system_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Taskdog is a terminal-based task management system designed for users who prefer a keyboard-centric workflow. It provides both a command-line interface and an interactive terminal user interface for creating, organising, and tracking tasks. The software focuses on productivity and scheduling by automatically generating daily schedules based on task attributes such as deadlines, priorities, estimated durations, and dependencies. All data is stored locally in an SQLite database, allowing users to maintain full control of their task information without relying on external services. The project is designed with a modular architecture that includes a core task management library, CLI and TUI interfaces, and an optional REST API server for programmatic access. This makes it suitable not only for personal productivity but also for automation and integration with other tools. Taskdog also provides features for analysing workloads and visualising schedules directly in the terminal. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ samply_-_sampling_CPU_profiler_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ samply is a sampling CPU profiler.

The statement comes as foreign operators of the jets continue to be pressed on what could happen if the United States were ever to cut off support. President Donald Trump’s administration has pursued a number of policies that have resulted in new diplomatic strains with some long-time allies, especially in Europe. “If, despite everything, you still want to upgrade, I’m going to say something I should never say, but I will anyway: you can jailbreak an F-35 just like an iPhone,” Gijs Tuinman said during an episode of BNR Nieuwsradio‘s “Boekestijn en de Wijk” podcast posted online yesterday, according to a machine translation. o ⚓ Arduino ☛ Your_Arduino_Nano_Matter_board_is_now_a_professional Zephyr_development_platform⠀⇛ Zephyr RTOS is an embedded platform backed by the Linux Foundation with Platinum members including Google, Intel, Meta, NXP, Nordic, and Silicon Labs.

There are LEDs but they are tucked out of the way, and not directly visible. The result is a very unusual clock that really isn’t what it appears to be. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Clear_Resin_Casting_Replicates_Old_Acrylic_For Selectric_Repair⠀⇛ IBM Selectric typewriters have a lot of unique parts that can be tricky to source, but one we didn’t think of was the clear acrylic(?) dust covers, that are apparently very hard to find in good shape.

The Baochip-1x’s CPU core is descended directly from the FPGA SoC used inside Precursor, a device I made to keep secrets; designed explicitly to run Xous, a pure-Rust rethink of the embedded OS I helped write; and made deliberately compatible with IRIS inspection, a method I pioneered for non-destructively inspecting silicon for correct construction. o ⚓ Nicole Express ☛ What_if_the_Apple_][_had_run_on_Field- Sequential?⠀⇛ One thing I remain fascinated by is the field-sequential color system. Essentially, unlike composite video, which sacrifices color depth in space, field sequential sacrifices color depth in time. But the specifics matter, and we have the specifics: the United States adopted such a system, but didn’t stick with it. So this article describes a nonexistent, alternate-world computer– what would an early mass-market 8-bit computer have looked like in a world where the field-sequential color system was in place? * § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ o ⚓ Marcin Juszkiewicz ☛ RISC-V_is_sloooow [Ed: So make your software leaner]⠀⇛ My usual way of working involves fetching sources of a Fedora package (fedpkg clone -a) and then building it (fedpkg mockbuild -r fedora-43-riscv64). After some time, I check did it built and if not then I go through build logs to find out why. Effect? At the moment, 86 pull requests sent for Fedora packages. From heavy packages like the “llvm15” to simple ones like the “iyfct” (some simple game). At the moment most of them were merged, and most of these got built for the Fedora 43.

This kernel is open source, resulting in many different companies, projects and individuals using it as the basis of their own OSs. Linux-based OSs are known as ‘distros’, but it’s common to refer collectively to all these distros simply as Linux (which is what I’ll do here too for the sake of simplicity). Linux for desktop use has, in recent years, shaken off its reputation for being complicated and fiddly. That said, it still isn’t as easy-to-use as macOS, and there are certain tasks that aren’t as streamlined as in the other two OSs, such as installing software that isn’t managed by the software manager app. But there’s loads of help for this sort of thing online — if you can follow instructions, you’ll be fine * ⚓ MusicTech ☛ It’s_time_music_software_developers_got_on_board_with_Linux desktop⠀⇛ Again, Linux on the desktop and in the studio appears to be inevitable. This being so, the only route to continued success for music software and hardware developers is to embrace Linux compatibility. Failing to do so will mean increasingly losing out to those mainstream developers that do support the platform – Bitwig, Reaper, U-He, Renoise, Tracktion – not to mention the wide world of open source tools that are also available. In most cases, supporting Linux wouldn’t even be particularly onerous, as much modern software is written in OS-agnostic languages before being compiled for specific platforms. Many of these compilers can already target Linux. Failing that, technologies such as Wine and Valve’s Proton, which underpins the Steam Deck and upcoming Steam Console, show that Windows software can be run on Linux, and often runs better than it does on Windows. There’s nothing to stop music software developers from adapting these open source technologies as an alternative route to supporting Linux. It’s also entirely feasible for the major music software developers to club together to create a definitive Linux distro for music making.

Paired once, connected instantly, pressed play, and music, videos, and calls behaved exactly the way they should, on a modern Linux computer. No drama, no fiddling, no ancient Linux audio nightmares. Then the gremlins showed up. First, it was the occasional stutter or random disconnects. Sometimes the headphones connected but produced no sound at all. Other times, the audio quality suddenly dropped to what can only be described as a “conference call from a submarine.” The weirdest part was that nothing had changed. Same headphones, same machine, and even the same distro. No experimental tweaks or reckless late-night tinkering. But the experience had quietly gone from reliable to unpredictable. And if you have used Linux long enough, you know exactly what happens next: you start investigating.

Slogging through scarce clues and vapid hints, you find yourself down in the dumps, contemplating the deeper meaning of life and the true nature of man, before hitting that eureka moment and cracking the case. One might say that this makes for a good game idea, and [Jonathan] would agree with that notion, thus creating the Fatal Core Dump game. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ The_story_of_one_of_my_worst_programming failures⠀⇛ Somewhat recently, GeePaw Hill shared the story of what he called his most humiliating experience as a skilled and successful computer programmer. It's an excellent, entertaining story with a lesson for all of us, so I urge you to read it. Today I'm going to tell the story of one of my great failures, where I may have quietly killed part of a professor's research project by developing on a too-small machine. * ⚓ Zig ☛ Type_resolution_redesign,_with_language_changes_to_taste⠀⇛ Today, I merged a 30,000 line PR after two (arguably three) months of work. The goal of this branch was to rework the Zig compiler’s internal type resolution logic to a more logical and straightforward design. It’s a quite exciting change for me personally, because it allowed me to clean up a bunch of the compiler guts, but it also has some nice user-facing changes which you might be interested in! For one thing, the Zig compiler is now lazier about analyzing the fields of types: if the type is never initialized, then there’s no need for Zig to care what that type “looks like”. This is important when you have a type which doubles as a namespace, a common pattern in modern Zig. For instance, when using std.Io.Writer, you don’t want the compiler to also pull in a bunch of code in std.Io! Here’s a straightforward example: [...] * ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ Dependency_tracking_is_hard⠀⇛ curl and libcurl are written in C. Rather low level components present in many software systems.

CRAG is an acronym for Calculator using RAku Grammar. I have been working on it as a hobby for some time. I feel that now it is mature enough to bring it to the attention of a wider community (in this case, the r/CLI subreddit). Please give it a test drive and feel free to comment and feedback over there – maybe it will help to showcase the kind of cool stuff we have been keeping to ourselves. * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Kieran Healy ☛ Using_Quarto_to_Write_a_Book⠀⇛ I’ve spent the last couple of months revising my Data Visualization book for a second edition that, ideally, will appear some time in the next twelve months. As with the first edition, I’ve posted a complete draft of the book at its website. The production process hasn’t started yet, so it’s not ready to pre-order or anything, but the site has a one-question form you can fill out that asks for your email address if you’d like to be notified with one (and only one) email when it’s available. A lot has changed since the first edition, reflecting changes both in R and ggplot specifically, and in the world of coding generally. I may end up highlighting some of those new elements in other posts. But here, I want to focus on some nerdy details involved in getting the book to its final draft. I’ll discuss Quarto, the publishing system I used, its many advantages, and its current limits with respect to the demands I made of it. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ GhosTTY ☛ Ghostty_1.3.0_-_Release_Notes⠀⇛ Ghostty 1.3.0 is a significant release which includes many of the most requested features such as scrollback search, native scrollbars, click-to-move-cursor in shell prompts, and more. It also includes hundreds of improvements, bug fixes, and performance optimizations across all platforms. This release features 6 months of work with changes from 180 contributors over 2,858 commits. Thank you to all the contributors, maintainers, community moderators, translators, packagers, and users who each helped make this release possible. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Critical_defect_in_Java_security_engine_poses serious_downstream_security_risks⠀⇛ The defect in the Java security engine, which handles authentication across multiple frameworks, has not been exploited in the wild since code review firm CodeAnt AI published a proof-of-concept exploit last week. The company discovered the vulnerability and privately reported it to pac4j’s maintainer, which disclosed the defect and released patches for affected versions of the library within two days. Some researchers told CyberScoop they are concerned about the vulnerability — CVE-2026-29000 — because it affects a widely deployed Java security engine that attackers can exploit with relative ease. o ⚓ Frank Delporte ☛ Lottie4J_1.1.0:_Better_Rendering,_Smarter Debugging,_and_an_animated_Lottie4J_Logo!⠀⇛ LottieFiles is a JSON-based animation format, originally developed at Airbnb, widely used to play back animations on websites and mobile apps.

It provides a protected workspace where any data consumer can navigate complex schemas and extract insights with less risk of tripping compliance wires. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ AI_quickstart:_Protecting_inference_with_F5 Distributed_Cloud_and_Red_Hat_AI [Ed: Red Hat cannot help boosting slop for IBM to help fake "value"]⠀⇛ Once you've successfully rolled out an interactive solution on Red Hat AI, however, the next question is usually, "How do I protect this in the real world?" * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Agent_Skills:_Explore_security_threats_and_controls [Ed: Red Hat is all about slop these days]⠀⇛ Anthropic announced the release of the Agent Skills functionality on October 16, 2025. This functionality was initially implemented in Claude software, but now it's available on many other agents, including Goose. Agent Skills is based on the concept of skills, a capability that trains an agent or client on tasks tailored to the way users work. Skills are based on folders and files, providing functionality similar to MCP but with a different approach. This article explores how to manage the security threats and access controls associated with adopting the new Agent Skills functionality. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_run_Slurm_workloads_on_OpenShift_with_Slinky operator⠀⇛ Simple GNU/Linux Utility for Resource Management (Slurm) is a widely adopted open source workload manager used in high- performance computing (HPC) environments. It provides job scheduling, resource allocation, and distributed orchestration across cluster nodes. As organizations modernize infrastructure using Kubernetes and Red_Hat_OpenShift, there is increasing demand to run traditional HPC workloads inside containerized platforms. Running Slurm on OpenShift enables teams to combine Slurm’s mature scheduling model with Kubernetes-native scalability and automation. This article demonstrates how to deploy Slurm on OpenShift using the Slinky operator. We will install the operator, configure authentication, deploy the controller and compute resources, and verify a working Slurm cluster running inside OpenShift. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1780 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/11/Release_of_Istio_1_29_1_Istio_1_28_5_and_Istio_1_27_8_Patching_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/11/Release_of_Istio_1_29_1_Istio_1_28_5_and_Istio_1_27_8_Patching_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Release of Istio 1.29.1, Istio 1.28.5, and Istio 1.27.8, Patching a Flaw⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 11, 2026 * ⚓ Announcing_Istio_1.29.1⠀⇛ This release contains security fixes.

su_Cheatsheet⠀⇛ Quick reference for switching users and running commands with su in Linux * ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ DevSecOps_on_Linux:_Build_a_Secure_CI/CD_Pipeline_in_2026⠀⇛ Whether it’s 2025 or already 2026, just writing code and pushing it to production is no longer enough. Keeping your code secure before it reaches production has become a top priority. Today, most companies follow one rule: “Add security from the start, or do not deploy.” That is exactly what DevSecOps is all about. * ⚓ What_is_the_best_way_to_identify_software?_Introducing_SWHID⠀⇛ Modern software is assembled from hundreds of components that organizations often did not write and do not fully control. Identifying those components reliably is becoming a legal requirement. This article introduces SWHID, an open standard for identifying software artifacts. * ⚓ Tim_Waugh:_Searching_Logseq_by_Concept,_Not_Keystrokes⠀⇛ Logseq is great for dumping daily notes, but finding them again later can be a pain. If you’re looking for notes on a “connection timeout” but originally wrote “increasing the socket keepalive”, a standard keyword search will give you nothing. You end up having to guess the exact phrasing your past self used. I wanted a way to search my graph by concept rather than exact text matches. That’s why I put together the Logseq_Semantic Search plugin. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2486 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/11/today_s_howtos.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/11/today_s_howtos.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 11, 2026 * ⚓ Julia Evans ☛ Examples_for_the_tcpdump_and_dig_man_pages⠀⇛ The goal here was really just to give the absolute most basic examples of how to use the tool, for people who use tcpdump or dig infrequently (or have never used it before!) and don’t remember how it works. So far saying “hey, I want to write an examples section for beginners and infrequent users of this tools” has been working really well. It’s easy to explain, I think it makes sense from everything I’ve heard from users about what they want from a man page, and maintainers seem to find it compelling. * ⚓ Harry Cresswell ☛ HTML_elements_vs_tags⠀⇛ It appears the confusion came from a misunderstanding between the terms element and tag. An easy mistake to make, given we often talk about these two constructs as if they’re interchangeable names describing the exact same thing. I thought I’d write a quick post about the issue, to give some context on how it came about and how I solved it. Or rather, how I attempted to improve clarity in my choice of wording, to be exact. You’ll also find a quick primer on the difference between HTML elements and tags. Simple stuff perhaps, but it’s so easy to forget the basics when you’re busy working on the difficult stuff. * ⚓ Keith Cirke ☛ Too_Much_Color⠀⇛ I've been working a lot on colours (or "color") in CSS, for csskit's minifier. This gives me the unfortunate burden of now having Opinions™ about colours. I also built a minifier test suite in the hopes that the ecosystem can get smarter. The minifier tests are not a vanity project: csskit currently has the worst pass rate and fails in some rather bad ways. During this work, trying to minify oklch colours, I wondered "just how precise is precise enough?". Is a color like oklch (0.659432 0.304219 234.75238) needlessly precise? Spoiler alert: yes. I contend that you almost never need more than 3 decimal places. For oklch and oklab that's a safe ceiling, and for their less-than-ok variants (lab & lch) you can get away with even less. Writing more is just wasting bytes. So here's the TL;DR: [...] * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_iRedmail_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Running your own mail server used to mean cobbling together Postfix, Dovecot, SpamAssassin, and ClamAV one package at a time, debugging config files for days before sending a single test email. iRedMail removes that pain entirely. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_OpenClaw_on_Manjaro⠀⇛ If you run Manjaro GNU/Linux and want a personal Hey Hi (AI) assistant that works locally, answers on Telegram, manages your calendar, and executes shell commands on your machine, OpenClaw is worth your attention. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Cockpit_on_AlmaLinux_10⠀⇛ Modern server management demands efficiency and accessibility. System administrators need tools that simplify complex tasks while maintaining security and performance. Cockpit, a powerful web-based server management interface, delivers exactly that for AlmaLinux 10 systems. This comprehensive guide walks through the complete installation and configuration process, from initial setup to advanced usage scenarios. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_VeraCrypt_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Data breaches are no longer a question of if — they are a question of when. Whether you are a developer protecting client credentials, a sysadmin securing sensitive configs, or a privacy-conscious Fedora user, disk encryption is one of the most effective defenses you can deploy. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_PhotoPrism_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Managing thousands of photos on a cloud service sounds convenient — until your subscription doubles, your data ends up on someone else’s servers, or worse, the service shuts down entirely. That is where self-hosted photo management tools like PhotoPrism change the game entirely. * ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_pnpm_on_Ubuntu_(26.04,_24.04,_22.04)⠀⇛ JavaScript projects waste a surprising amount of time and disk space when every repository downloads its own copy of the same dependencies. pnpm fixes that with a content-addressable store, stricter dependency handling, and workspace tools that scale better than a pile of duplicated node_modules directories. * ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Check_Ubuntu_Version⠀⇛ Package guides, release upgrades, and repository instructions make a lot more sense once you know whether the machine is running jammy, noble, or resolute. To check Ubuntu version quickly, start with the built-in terminal commands below. They work on Ubuntu Desktop, headless servers, cloud VMs, and Ubuntu running inside WSL. * ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_To_Change_or_Reset_Root_Password_on_Ubuntu_Linux⠀⇛ Losing the only admin path on an Ubuntu machine gets stressful fast, especially once you discover that root is locked by default. You can change or reset the root password on Ubuntu either from a working sudo session or, when that path is gone, from GRUB recovery mode. * ⚓ The New Stack ☛ How_to_deploy_an_Hey_Hi_(AI)_server_on_your_Debian/ Ubuntu_server⠀⇛ Whenever I use AI, I always opt to go with a locally installed instance. The reason for that is twofold. * ⚓ Real Linux User ☛ Thunderbird_Basics_–_How_to_manage_your_tasks_in Thunderbird⠀⇛ I’m a bit of a productivity nerd. I’m always looking for ways to optimize and organize my thoughts, ideas, tasks, projects, and communication [...] * ⚓ RoseHosting ☛ How_to_Install_Python_on_Ubuntu_26.04⠀⇛ * ⚓ RoseHosting ☛ How_to_Install_MongoDB_on_Ubuntu_26.04⠀⇛ * ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Generate_and_Verify_MD5_Checksums_in_GNU/Linux_[5 Methods]⠀⇛ * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ How_to_Create_a_systemd_Service_File_in_Linux⠀⇛ Create a systemd service file in GNU/Linux with step-by-step instructions for unit file structure, service types, restart policies, and service management with systemctl. * ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ How_to_Install_MicroK8s_on_Ubuntu_26.04⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2686 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/11/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/11/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 11, 2026 * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Qt ☛ REST_Better_with_the_Support_of_OpenAPI_in_Qt_6⠀⇛ Some of you are following our works to improve connectivity of Qt-based apps. For example, in this blogpost we explained enhacements in the Qt's network stack for more efficient use of RESTful Hey Hi (AI) starting with Qt 6.7. So, it might sound we are done with REST. Why bother about OpenAPI then? Well, while around 70% of all web services run on REST, around 20-30% of them use code generated from OpenAPI specification. How could Qt leave that out without helping our users to code less and create more?  * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ Post-mortem:_Stuck_Critical_Jobs_Queue⠀⇛ Between March 4th and 5th, the Open Build Service (OBS) experienced a service degradation. Impact: Users weren’t able to retrieve the diff changes of submit requests. Detection The issue was first identified by team members who noticed that diffs for new submit requests were not loading. Minutes later, it was confirmed that this issue was affecting all submit requests across the production instance. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ Linux_Mint_23:_Release_Date_and_New Features⠀⇛ # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Fast-tracking_industrial_and_Hey_Hi_(AI) deployment_on_Renesas_RZ_platforms⠀⇛ Certified Ubuntu 24.04 LTS images now available Canonical is pleased to announce the general availability (GA) of certified Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu Core 24 images for the Renesas RZ/G2L and RZ/G2LC 64-bit microprocessors (MPUs) platforms. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2763 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/11/Web_and_Standards_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/11/Web_and_Standards_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Web and Standards Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 11, 2026 * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o ⚓ Manton Reece ☛ Introducing_Inkwell⠀⇛ Today we’re releasing a new RSS feed reader called Inkwell. It’s a companion product to Micro.blog, so you’ll sign in with your existing Micro.blog account. o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Peter Hofmann ☛ Impressions_from_Mozilla_1.2b_(2002)⠀⇛ Mozilla 1.2b from 2002 is the oldest version of the Mozilla suite that I have in my archive. This probably was the first version of it that I used after Netscape (and a brief period of Internet Explorer -- yep), but I'm not sure. Doesn't really matter anyway. Since it was published under MPL 1.1, here's the installer: [...] * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ Kev Quirk ☛ Pure_Blog_Is_Now_Feature_Complete...ish⠀⇛ I've just released v1.8.0 of Pure Blog, which was the final big feature I wanted to add. At this point, Pure Blog does all the things I would want a useful CMS to do, such as: [...] * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ Document Foundation ☛ IMPORTANT_ODF_Template_added_to_CRA Guidance_feedback⠀⇛ Last week, the European Commission published the draft guidelines for the CRA and opened a comment session open to all stakeholders until the end of March. o ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Beyond_the_fan_experience:_How_Wi-Fi_7_is redefining_the_modern_stadium⠀⇛ The biggest limitation of previous Wi-Fi generations in high-density environments was the “best effort” nature of the connection. In a stadium filled with 22,000 shouting fans — all armed with mobile devices — the sheer noise floor could lead to latency spikes and dropped packets. For a fan trying to check a score, this is an annoyance. For a stadium operator relying on that network to process a payment, verify a ticket or scan a biometric identity, it is a business risk. Wi-Fi 7 changes the equation. By introducing features like preamble puncturing, which allows the network to “ignore” or “carve out” interference in a channel rather than abandoning the entire spectrum, stadiums can now achieve a level of determinism that previously required expensive, dedicated private cellular infrastructure. o ⚓ [Old] Dot Com Press LLC ☛ Dot_Com_Press⠀⇛ Four decades ago, the first domain was registered and the initial batch of top-level domains came to be. Nearly a billion domains have been registered since then. Let’s take a tour of domain milestones over the last forty years...and ask what comes next. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2866 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/11/WordPress_6_9_2_WordPress_6_9_3_and_WordPress_7_0_Beta_4_Releas.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/11/WordPress_6_9_2_WordPress_6_9_3_and_WordPress_7_0_Beta_4_Releas.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ WordPress 6.9.2, WordPress 6.9.3 and WordPress 7.0 Beta 4 Releases⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 11, 2026 * ⚓ WordPress ☛ WordPress_6.9.3_and_7.0_beta_4⠀⇛ WordPress 6.9.2 was released earlier today and addressed 10 security issues.
