A lot of this impression seems to come from the Linux community itself. While it’s possible to use Linux instead of Windows, these systems aren’t the same. One key difference is that Linux has inherited a lot of its style from earlier Unix systems that date back to the late 1960s. This was before MS-DOS, or even personal computers, were invented. Unix was created at Bell Labs by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson at Bell Labs after the research lab had pulled out of the MULTICS project to build what we would now call cloud computing after numerous budget and schedule overruns.

And yet we keep on seeing new terminals coming up almost every year. The regular terminal works but then there are terminals like Kitty and Ghostty that provide modern features and customization. In the same regard, foot is also a good terminal worth having a look. It is not a new project. It has been an active player for sevaeral years and yet not many Linux user have heard of it. * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ FOSS_Weekly_#26.11:_SUSE_for_Sale,_Firefox_Redesign,_New- ish_Terminal,_i3_Customization_and_More⠀⇛ "For sale" sign has been raised for SUSE Linux. * ⚓ Linux Links ☛ Namida_–_feature-rich_music_/_video_player_for_Linux, Android,_and_Windows⠀⇛ Namida is a modern music and video player. The application aims to combine an attractive interface with a powerful local music library * ⚓ KDAB ☛ Hotspot_v1.6.0_released⠀⇛ Hotspot is a standalone GUI designed to provide a user-friendly interface for analyzing performance data. It takes a perf.data file, parses and evaluates its contents, and presents the results in a visually appealing and easily understandable manner. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ I_install_these_Linux_terminal_apps_on_every_system⠀⇛ When I use Linux, I practically live in the terminal. As with any living space, I like to add my own touch when I move into a new place. Here are the apps I install on a new system to make it feel like home. * ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ 5_Linux_terminal_commands_that_fix_most_of_my_system problems⠀⇛ Even though Linux systems are quite stable, daily use can trigger certain errors. Several Linux distros include GUI tools, but the most reliable fixes happen in the terminal because it gives you more precise control over repairs. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 4_Microsoft_Copilot_Linux_alternatives_that_are_just_as good_(if_not_better)⠀⇛ As an avid user of AI tools, I was instantly intrigued when I overheard a conversation about AI assistants that Linux users could access and use via a desktop app. The discussion aroused my curiosity because it made me realize that, although I use Copilot on Windows, I don't usually use an AI companion on Linux primarily because, unlike Windows, Linux distributions usually don't have built-in AI companions. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣀⡀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠈⢈⠈⡉⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠛⠁⠀⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢰⣶⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢠⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢈⡉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⢀⣀⣴⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠻⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣶⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠓⠅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⢠⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠈⠉⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣦⣀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⣦⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣀⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠙⠛⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣤⣤⣤⣤⣠⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 381 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/14/_Be_a_Better_Person.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/14/_Be_a_Better_Person.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ "Be a Better Person"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 14, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Banksy_signature⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Banksy⦈_ Around the corner from us someone spray-painted in very large letters, "Be a Better Person". That's still there on the wall, even about a year later. That may sound like a banal, one might say almost_empty, statement. But some people ought to take it seriously and literally. "Be a Better Person" is a nice message, but graffiti isn't a nice thing to do (a lot of it is an eyesore and barely creative, just stains of dried paint). Apropos, "The Mystery of Banksy" exhibition in Manchester began_yesterday and we walked passed it this morning. We'll go there again on Monday. It is tribute at Depot Mayfield Manchester - quite a fitting location because of very old and abandoned buildings in that area of the city - a good place to feed birds though. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Banksy_animal⦈_ We, in this site, are volunteers. Everyone involved in this site is a volunteer. Nobody is paid and the community calls the shots. For a better world we need altruism and money can get in the way of this vision, as several popular distros of GNU/Linux have shown (donors can divide, more so corporate sponsors). Imagine a world where everyone tries to be better to peers and family instead of competing to death. Banksy does not pursue fame but expression. Banksy is awesome. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Banksy_signature

It feels fast and looks fantastic — much cleaner than the ubiquitous VS Code. * ⚓ Mathieu Aumont ☛ Podman_is_home-lab_ready_on_FreeBSD.⠀⇛ I recently discovered this fantastic project, deamonless.io. Someone, thanks to him, has taken the time to start building application images to package them as Podman containers that run on FreeBSD. Basically, this project offers a whole catalog of turnkey Podman/FreeBSD applications. Just read the Podman documentation, and a few minutes later you’ll have your first applications running in Podman on FreeBSD. There are still a few workarounds to set up to avoid bugs (but they’re very simple, well-documented, and will soon be fixed directly in the libraries). It’s simply fantastic—a few years ago, I never would have thought it possible to run this kind of thing on FreeBSD. * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ YottaDB ☛ What's_New_in_the_Go_API_v2⠀⇛ It’s a wrap! The end of a long journey, and YDBGo v2 is finally here with its pristine finish and a V8 rumble that’s champing at the bit to get some traction in your code. YDBGo v2 is more concise, easier to read, and more “Go- like”. Version 1 was long-winded, hard to read, had complex function signatures, and the syntax was not “Go- like”. While v1 had two command sets called “SimpleAPI” and “EasyAPI”, v2 is simpler and easier than both (see the syntax comparison below). Version 2 is also faster than both, and better protects you from inadvertent bugs. These features are presented below along with other functional additions, risk reductions, internal improvements, and a final section on migration from v1 to v2 which includes a table of examples of syntax changes. * § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ o ⚓ Ava ☛ how_i_stay_up-to-date_on_data_protection_&_privacy_law⠀⇛ Data protection, privacy and tech is a very dynamic field; every day, there are new court decisions, actions by big tech companies, and resulting questions, so thought I could share my resources that keep me informed.

We will never be doing anything like that. I would rather throw the GamingOnLinux name and web server into the sun than ever let GamingOnLinux become something like that. * ⚓ Build_up_your_horror_collection_in_the_Frictional_Games_Humble_Bundle_| GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Frictional Games have created some incredible experiences and now you can grab a whole lot of them together in the new Frictional Games Humble Bundle. Below the cut you'll get a list of all the games and their different ratings.

Likely a must-buy for big Marvel fans. * ⚓ Deep_Rock_Galactic:_Survivor_-_Heavy_Duty_Expansion_announced_for_April |_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Ghost Ship Publishing and developer Funday Games revealed the Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor - Heavy Duty Expansion that's arriving April 30th. * ⚓ Roguelite_spin-off_shooter_Deep_Rock_Galactic:_Rogue_Core_arrives_in May_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Ghost Ship Publishing and Coffee Stain Publishing announced the roguelite DRG spin-off Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core is set for Early Access on May 20th. I know a fair few people will be quite excited by this - and I'm one of them! The original DRG is one of the absolute best co-op shooters ever. * ⚓ Defender_of_the_Crown:_The_Legend_Returns_brings_the_absolute_classic to_a_modern_audience_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Defender of the Crown is an absolute classic originally released on the Amiga, and now it's returning with Defender of the Crown: The Legend Returns.

For reference, during the same time, there were 716 games released for backdoored Windows on Steam, so the GNU/Linux versions represent about 11.5 % of total released titles. The obvious pick would be Slay the Spire 2 but we already mentioned it for the recent Steam Deck releases, so let’s talk about Methods: The Canafa Files, that puts you in charge of solving a crime, by using a combination of super-abilities of several characters. Here’s the list of worthy titles below. * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ Packing_Life_-_The_Amazon_Warehouse_Experience_- Review⠀⇛ Pack products in Packing Life, a capitalist hellscape puzzle sim developed and published by Aroko Game Studio. This native game runs great on PCs running GNU/Linux (tested on CachyOS) and Steam Deck, without needing Proton. You can see a video of the gameplay I captured, without commentary (but you can pinpoint the moments of internal screaming and desperation!). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxkuj9PDtv8 I went in for the cozy and relaxing atmosphere that the store page demonstrates. And don’t get me wrong, the game delivers that.

There is actually some ambiguity when speaking about signatures in PDFs: there are cryptographic signatures that guarantee that a certificate owner approved a document (now denoted by "digital" signatures) and there are also signatures that are just drawings on the document. These latter ones of course do not guarantee any authenticity but are more or less accepted in various situations, depending on the country. Moreover, getting a proper certificate to digitally sign documents may be complicated or costly (with the notable exception of a few countries providing them to their residents such as Spain). * ⚓ Alice_Mikhaylenko:_Libadwaita_1.9⠀⇛ Another slow cycle, same as last time.

Not just the default in the installer - the default in production, the default in the Handbook, the default in the minds of people who have lost data exactly once and decided never again. (It’s also available on Linux, where it works beautifully - just don’t ask me how I know you can run RHEL on a ZFS root pool. That was a crime, not a tutorial.) This is the second article in the FreeBSD Foundationals series. The first one covered Jails. We’re covering ZFS now because it’s the foundation everything else sits on: your jails, your databases, your mail spools, your backups. Understanding ZFS isn’t optional if you’re running FreeBSD seriously. o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ RAM_is_getting_expensive,_so_squeeze_the_most from_it⠀⇛ inux has two ways to do memory compression – zram and zswap – but you rarely hear about the second. The Register compares and contrasts them. The Linux kernel's zram tool has been in the news this week. Phoronix reports that the new patch could make some zram operations 50 percent faster. Thanks to the increasingly desperate flailing by the hucksters selling automatic plagiarism machines, RAM has got much more expensive and the price rises are expected to continue. Apple has even quietly dropped the 512 GB RAM model of its Mac Studio. This is not a good time to buy computers with lots of RAM, or to add more RAM to existing machines. Better to try to make the most of what you've already got. So we thought this might be a good time to look at what zram is and does, and explore its less well-known companion zswap. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ Reviewing_ENISA’s_Package_Manager_Advisory⠀⇛ Their risk taxonomy splits threats into packages with inherent vulnerabilities (bugs, abandonware) and supply chain attacks (malicious packages, account takeover, typosquatting, dependency confusion), which is the right framing.

It all started because of one awesome game, the lovely WW2 simulator called 1942: Pacific Air War.

Namely, the simulator wouldn't run as fast as you'd expect some thirty plus years after its inception, and the sound wouldn't work correctly, either. o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ Dan Langille ☛ Using_variable_names_in_nginx_declarations has_a_price:_e.g._ssl_certificate_/usr/local/etc/ssl/$ {server_name}.fullchain.cer;⠀⇛ I recently implemented a fun (to me) and easy solution for taking my web proxy websites offline, either one-by-one, or all-at-once.

That came to an end when Apple started making its own Silicon, as Linux had always needed Intel on a Mac to manage the install. No longer, though, as Asahi Linux lets you install Fedora with GNOME or KDE Plasma on your Mac M1 or M2 machine. I decided to install it on my older MacBook Air M1 to see how well it could handle the workflow I use daily: Asana, Zoom and Teams, Slack, web apps, and the like. What would it be like, I wondered, to sit down without macOS or Windows 11 (my typical daily drivers) and do the work I do. Turns out, this version of Linux is pretty darn capable, with a few caveats that keep it from being my main laptop for work.

When I was a teenager, I was forbidden to look at Playboy Magazine. I just wanted to read the articles and interviews (Cough, Cough). No, seriously, I did, but I also wanted to look at the photos. Guess what? Although I was told not to, I read Playboy anyway. Here we are, decades later, and people are still trying, and failing, to prevent young people from seeing and reading forbidden fruit. I never thought, though, that 21st-century prudes would block young people from using operating systems! But here we are. Lucky us. As my colleague Liam Proven reports, several states in the US are now demanding that operating system vendors collect and store the age or date of birth for each user account. Now, for Apple and Microsoft, it's no big deal. Microsoft, for instance, requires Windows 11 users to have a Microsoft account, and Apple, while claiming it's a privacy-first platform, still examines every photo you take with Apple's Enhanced Visual Search. It's a different story with Linux and the other open source operating systems, like the BSDs. They have always been about empowering their users to do anything they want, within the confines of their licenses, anyway, anytime they want, no matter whether they're five or ninety-five.

It’s the perfect laptop for someone like me, who grew up tinkering, repairing, and building computers for fun and profit. o ⚓ Jeff Geerling ☛ Restoring_an_Xserve_G5:_When_Apple_built_real servers⠀⇛ Recently I came into posession of a few Apple Xserves. The one in question today is an Xserve G5, RackMac3,1, which was built when Apple at the top—and bottom—of it's PowerPC era. o ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ My_first_network_kit,_part_one⠀⇛ I reminisced with a client recently about my first network kit, and I realised I hadn’t ever really talked about it here. Nor do I have a network page on my Retro Corner. Let’s begin to rectify this egregious oversight with a new series of long-winded posts about early childhood networking (mis)adventures and nostalgia! My first network experience wasn’t with a device per se, but a cable. For several years my dad used INTERLNK and INTERSRV on MS-DOS to transfer files between his work laptop, and the home 486. I remember him demonstrating by plugging one end of the serial cable into his work machine, and the other end into the family computer. Then with one command, I watched with childhood awe at the files from one machine suddenly appearing on the other. Okay, it wasn’t “suddenly”, it took an age. Still, I remember thinking it’s like the computers were talking! I think back to that day a lot, especially when I’m feeling cynical and need to remind myself why I do all this stuff. * § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ BBC ☛ Met_Police_chief_gives_phone_firms_deadline_over_thefts⠀⇛ The force wants to make resetting phones more difficult, with requirements for multi-factor authentication and time delays; moves to stop parts being sold without device matching serial numbers, and the ability to block devices globally in real time. "For nearly three years we have sought meaningful engagement with phone manufacturers and their response to date does not match the scale of harm and risk to their customers." London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan said there is "no reason" why in a year's time there should not be fully accessible serial numbers for officials and "kill switches" for stolen phones. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2082 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/14/Plasma_Keyboard_FLOSS_Fund_diacritics_and_more.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/14/Plasma_Keyboard_FLOSS_Fund_diacritics_and_more.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Plasma Keyboard: FLOSS/Fund, diacritics, and more⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 14, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇diacritics⦈_ Quoting: Plasma Keyboard: FLOSS/Fund, diacritics, and more | Merritt Codes — Plasma Keyboard has interesting news to share!

I wanted one interface that worked the same way everywhere, for humans on the command line and for AI coding agents that need to interact with forges programmatically. * ⚓ SusamPal ☛ Git_Checkout,_Reset_and_Restore⠀⇛ I have always used the git checkout and git reset commands to reset my working tree or index but since Git 2.23 there has been a git restore command available for these purposes. In this post, I record how some of the 'older' commands I use map to the new ones. Well, the new commands aren't exactly new since Git 2.23 was released in 2019, so this post is perhaps six years too late. Even so, I want to write this down for future reference. It is worth noting that the old and new commands are not always equivalent. I'll talk more about this briefly as we discuss the commands. However, they can be used to perform similar tasks. Some of these tasks are discussed below. * ⚓ Ben Congdon ☛ Feature_Flagging_at_Databricks⠀⇛ In late January, I published a post1 (archive) on the Databricks engineering blog about “SAFE”, the feature flagging and experimentation platform I’ve been working on for the past few years. SAFE is what I’ve been spending most of my time on during my time at Databricks, and it’s been rewarding to see the project grow from an initial prototype to a mature internal platform. * ⚓ Dan Q ☛ Why_Security_Engineering_needs_a_Hacker_Mentality⠀⇛ Thinking “like a hacker” involves a certain level of curiosity and creativity with technology.

Since these are requests, there is some state involved, so for a long time a request could be pending, approved, or rejected, with the extra complexity that an approved request might be incomplete and waiting on the person to pick their login. Recently I added being able to put a request into a new state, 'held', in order to deal with some local complexities where we might have a request that we didn't want to delete but also didn't want to go through to create an account. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ NVISO Labs ☛ Exploitation_of_CVE-2026-1281_&_CVE-2026-1340_Ivanti EPMM_Sleeper_Shells⠀⇛ Decompiling all four payloads/Java classes showed that they serve the same purpose and have the same structure. In short: When invoked, the class retrieves the servlet request/response from whatever object it’s given, runs a hardcoded command as a separate process via the exec (String[] cmdarray) method of java.lang.Runtime, the hardcoded command is stored in the String Array called var9 and returns any output in the HTTP response. The content of the String Array var9 is also the only difference in the decompiled code. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Rust Blog ☛ The_Rust_Programming_Language_Blog:_Call_for_Testing: Build_Dir_Layout_v2⠀⇛ We would welcome people to try and report issues with the nightly-only cargo -Zbuild-dir-new-layout.

The flaw has existed since 2017, and affected over 12.6 million systems globally. Immediate kernel patching is recommended to neutralize these vulnerabilities. * ⚓ LWN ☛ A_set_of_AppArmor_vulnerabilities⠀⇛ Qualys has sent out a somewhat breathless advisory describing a number of vulnerabilities in the AppArmor security module, which is used in a number of Debian-based distributions (among others). * ⚓ Dolphin Publications B V ☛ Linux_security_layer_extremely_vulnerable: 12.6_million_systems_affected⠀⇛ Nine critical vulnerabilities have been found in AppArmor, a Linux Security Module standard on Ubuntu, Debian, and SUSE.

Researchers at the company's Threat Research Unit said the flaws allow unprivileged local users to circumvent kernel protections, escalate to root privileges, and weaken container isolation. * ⚓ Qualys_research_details_nine_AppArmor_flaws_affecting_enterprise_Linux systems⠀⇛ Researchers at Qualys’ Threat Research Unit (TRU) have disclosed a set of nine vulnerabilities in AppArmor, a Linux security module used to confine application permissions, warning the issues could expose a large number of enterprise systems. * ⚓ Hacker News ☛ Nine_CrackArmor_Flaws_in_Linux_AppArmor_Enable_Root Escalation,_Bypass_Container_Isolation⠀⇛ Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed multiple security vulnerabilities within the Linux kernel's AppArmor module that could be exploited by unprivileged users to circumvent kernel protections, escalate to root, and undermine container isolation guarantees. The nine confused deputy vulnerabilities have been collectively codenamed CrackArmor by the Qualys Threat Research Unit (TRU). The cybersecurity company said the issue has existed since 2017. No CVE identifiers have been assigned to the shortcomings. AppArmor is a Linux security module that provides mandatory access control (MAC) and secures the operating system against external or internal threats by preventing known and unknown application flaws from being exploited. It has been included in the mainline Linux kernel since version 2.6.36. * ⚓ IT Brief Australia ☛ CrackArmour_flaws_in_AppArmour_risk_Linux_root access⠀⇛ Qualys researchers have identified nine vulnerabilities in AppArmour that, they say, could let an unprivileged local Linux user gain root access and weaken container isolation on affected systems. Dubbed CrackArmour, the issues relate to how the Linux kernel handles AppArmour security profiles. Qualys characterised the underlying pattern as a "confused deputy" problem, in which a low-privilege user influences a trusted process to perform an action that would normally be blocked. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣒⣒⣎⡑⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠬⢿⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣾⣿⣦⣤⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⡀⠀⣀⣀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡻⣿⣧⣴⣿⠟⠻⣿⣦⣿⣿⡿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⣿⣿⢿⣿⣄⣀⣿⡿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠛⠀⠛⠛⠀⠙⠛⠛⠋⠀⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣍⣉⣙⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠭⠉⠉⠉⠭⠿⠙⣿⣿⠿⠻⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠉⠒⠐⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2414 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/14/Security_and_Integrity_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/14/Security_and_Integrity_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security and Integrity Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 14, 2026 * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Authorities_Disrupt_SocksEscort_Proxy_Service_Powered by_AVrecon_Botnet⠀⇛ Law enforcement agencies in the US and Europe targeted the cybercrime service that has impacted 360,000 devices since 2020. * ⚓ TechRadar ☛ Major_SocksEscort_proxy_network_powered_by_Linux_malware taken_down_by_FBI_and_other_police_forces⠀⇛ An international law enforcement crackdown called “Operation Lightning” took down SocksEscort, a malicious residential proxy network which counted thousands of devices and defrauded people out of millions of dollars.

The interface is flat, uses a lot of gray, and feels very dated in 2026. You either live with it or you go out of your way to install a theme from the add-ons store. Neither option feels particularly appealing when practically every other mainstream browser and several Firefox forks, have put real thought into what people expect from a modern web browser. On top of that, its AIness and lack of genuinely user experience-centric additions have been making me wonder whether it is time to move on entirely. # ⚓ Firefox_Application_Security_Team:_Bug_Bounty_Program Updates_2026⠀⇛ The Firefox bug bounty program is the longest- running security bug bounty program. Born out of Netscape’s_bug_bounty_program, we’ve been awarding ingenious security research for over two decades, helping keep our hundreds of millions of users safe. With the threat landscape changing, we’re updating our security program along with it. As browser security architecture continues to improve, our bug bounty program is evolving to focus incentives on the highest-impact work and the most critical threats. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2807 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/14/This_Week_in_Plasma_Press_and_Hold_for_Alternative_Characters.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/14/This_Week_in_Plasma_Press_and_Hold_for_Alternative_Characters.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ This Week in Plasma: Press-and-Hold for Alternative Characters⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 14, 2026 Quoting: This Week in Plasma: Press-and-Hold for Alternative Characters - KDE Blogs — This week something very special landed for Plasma 6.7: the ability to type characters not on your physical keyboard by pressing-and- holding the keys that it does have...

howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 14, 2026 * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ kill_Cheatsheet⠀⇛ Quick reference for sending signals to processes by PID with kill and killall in Linux * ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ How_to_Install_KDE_Desktop_on_Ubuntu_26.04⠀⇛ * ⚓ Andy Bell ☛ Building_dynamic_toggletips_using_anchored_container queries⠀⇛ This is a pretty good use-case for anchored container queries, but also a great opportunity to look at how we might build toggletips in the (hopefully) near future. You’ll learn about popovers and anchor positioning, which are already baseline and will ensure that the toggletips at least work, as well as declarative anchors, ‘modern’ attr(), and corner-shape, progressive enhancements enchantments that provide a range of magical benefits. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ UEFI-only_booting_with_GRUB_has_gone_okay_on our_(Ubuntu_24.04)_servers⠀⇛ We've been operating Ubuntu servers for a long time and for most of that time we've booted them through traditional MBR BIOS boots. Initially it was entirely through MBR and then later it was still mostly through MBR (somewhat depending on who installed a particular server; my co-workers are more tolerant of UEFI than I am). But when we built the 24.04 version of our customized install media, my co-worker wound up making it UEFI only, and so for the past two years all of our 24.04 machines have been UEFI (with us switching BIOSes on old servers into UEFI mode as we updated them). The headline news is that it's gone okay, more or less as you'd expect and hope by now. * ⚓ [Old] Joël Perras ☛ Simplify_Your_Life_With_an_SSH_Config_File⠀⇛ If you're anything like me, you probably log in and out of a half dozen remote servers (or these days, local virtual machines) on a daily basis. And if you're even more like me, you have trouble remembering all of the various usernames, remote addresses and command line options for things like specifying a non-standard connection port or forwarding local ports to the remote machine. * § linuxcapable⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Ansible_on_Ubuntu_(26.04,_24.04, 22.04)⠀⇛ Agentless automation is easiest when one control node can reach the rest of your lab over SSH and push changes without extra daemons or agents. o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Surveillance_Giant_Google_Cloud CLI_on_Ubuntu_(26.04,_24.04,_22.04)⠀⇛ Compute Engine instances, Clown Storage buckets, and IAM settings are easier to manage when the whole Surveillance Giant Google Cloud workflow stays in your Ubuntu terminal. o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Secure_Nginx_with_Let’s_Encrypt_on_Ubuntu_ (26.04,_24.04,_22.04)⠀⇛ An HTTP-only Nginx site leaves logins, cookies, and form traffic exposed on every hop between the browser and your server. o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Swift_on_Ubuntu_(26.04,_24.04, 22.04)⠀⇛ Swift is no longer tied to Apple-only workflows. On GNU/ Linux it gives you the same compiler, package manager, and server-side tooling used for command-line apps, Vapor projects, and cross-platform development. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_ReactJS_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ ReactJS is one of the most widely used JavaScript libraries in the world, and for good reason. It gives developers a fast, component-driven way to build modern web applications and single-page apps without fighting the browser. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Eclipse_Mosquitto_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ If you are building an IoT system, a smart home automation stack, or an industrial telemetry pipeline, you need a reliable MQTT message broker at the center of it all. Eclipse Mosquitto is that broker — lightweight, open-source, battle-tested, and available directly from Debian’s official repositories. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Apache_Hadoop_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Apache Hadoop is the industry-standard open-source framework for storing and processing massive datasets across distributed systems, and if you want to run it on the latest stable Debian release, this guide covers exactly how to install Apache Hadoop on Debian 13 “Trixie” from scratch. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Arduino_IDE_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ If you work with microcontrollers on Linux, getting Arduino IDE running on your system is one of the first things you need to do. Debian 13, codenamed Trixie, is the current stable release and comes with a few quirks that can trip up new users during the Arduino IDE setup process. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_n8n_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Workflow automation is no longer a luxury reserved for enterprise teams with SaaS budgets. If you run a Fedora 43 server and want full control over your automation stack, self-hosting n8n is one of the smartest moves you can make. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 3482 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 34 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
