Happy spring Equinox! (For those of us who live up above the equator) Today it might be a last chance to soak in some sun (outdoors), as the weather is changing and there will be more clouds. Today, on three occasions, "bottle" ("bot") came over and brought several friend pigeons. They seem to be "chatting" about the feeding and, working like a community, they tend to congregate before eating. They feast in groups and typically wait for friends to come. Then they all eat together. Humans aren't necessarily like that; humans who can't collaborate (selfishness) are worse off. This is one area where many animals are better off than humans. They know how to share (food) with the group. When it comes to hunting, predator birds are effective, especially in flocks. And they never forget what they learn ("Crows hold grudges against individual humans for up to 17 years" [1, 2]). █ =============================================================================== Image source: Friedrich_Lehmann,_Ludwig_Heinrich_Bojanus ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠛⠋⠋⠉⠉⠉⠙⠋⠉⠙⠻⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠋⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠙⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⣒⣄⡨⠍⠉⠛⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢄⢁⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠛⠿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣷⣶⣦⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠑⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⢄⡀⠀⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠆⠠⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠠⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣶⣄⠀⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣀⡀⠄⠀⠀⠉⠛⢿⣿⣦⡀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣶⣌⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠛⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⣈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣌⡙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢖⡠⠄⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣛⠁⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣴⢪⣆⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣋⣬⢀⡠⢂⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 282 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/20/Applications_Vykar_Radicle_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/20/Applications_Vykar_Radicle_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Applications: Vykar, Radicle, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 20, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Chaos_Engine⦈_ * ⚓ LWN ☛ Radicle_1.7.0_released⠀⇛ Version_1.7.0 ("Daffodil") of the Radicle peer-to-peer, local- first code collaboration stack has been released.

Lots of first- rate stories and commentary from the front lines of cyber. * ⚓ The BSD Now Podcast ☛ BSD_Now_655:_No_Reboot_Required⠀⇛ Jails for NetBSD, ARC and L2ARC sizing for Proxmox, Anatomy of bsd.rd, Docker Containers on FreeBSD, Running Time Machine inside a FreeBSD Jail, and more... * ⚓ Going Linux ☛ Going_Linux_#477_·_CachyOS⠀⇛ In this episode we explore CachyOS, an Arch-based distribution that prioritizes high performance and system responsiveness. Unlike fixed-release systems like Ubuntu, CachyOS utilizes a rolling release model, providing continuous updates to software and kernels without requiring full OS reinstalls. Several key technical optimizations set CachyOS apart such as Optimized Kernels, BORE Scheduler, and Cachy Browser.

You can get early access to Freytra Peaks now through our 1.5 donation package. * ⚓ OpenTTD ☛ An_update_on_Steam_/_GOG_changes_for_OpenTTD⠀⇛ I understand that these changes have provoked strong feelings in the community, but I feel it important to emphasise that Atari have worked collaboratively with us, and that OpenTTD as a project retains its full independence. Even after reading this, you may still not agree with the choices that we’ve made, but I would please ask you to share your views respectfully.

Well, with recent driver issues, they don't always play nicely with Windows either, but it's been a bit of a pain for those swapping over for some time. If you are among those with an Nvidia GPU who use Gnome, things should be about to get much smoother. For the unaware, Gnome is an open-source desktop environment for Linux, and the default interface seen in the likes of Ubuntu. Named 'Tokyo', after the Gnome Asia summit in 2025, Gnome 50 has just been unveiled, and it comes with a whole host of new features—but the most important for gamers will be better Nvidia GPU support (via Phoronix). Under the 'Display Handling Improvements' section of the patch notes, it notes "Nvidia Performance Boosts", mentioning "Workarounds for Nvidia driver quirks." This means Gnome gamers should notice "smoother window animations and general desktop fluidity for users with Nvidia GPUs." ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1351 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/20/Games_Nightmare_Reaper_Lucky_Tower_Ultimate_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/20/Games_Nightmare_Reaper_Lucky_Tower_Ultimate_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Nightmare Reaper, Lucky Tower Ultimate, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 20, 2026, updated Mar 20, 2026 * ⚓ DEATH_STRANDING_2:_ON_THE_BEACH_is_now_available_on_PC_| GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ As potentially one of the last Sony PlayStation published releases on PC, DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH is officially out now from KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS.

The launch means Linux users can now access the same performance tools and customisation features that have helped Opera GX grow to more than 34 million users since its debut in 2019. More importantly, it plugs a long-standing gap for gamers and power users. These users prefer Linux but haven’t had access to a browser built specifically with gaming in mind. * ⚓ Opera_GX_Gaming_Browser_launches_on_Linux⠀⇛ Opera GX has officially arrived on Linux, giving Linux users a gaming-focused browser option. As a web browser, Opera GX prides itself on its performance, privacy, and customisability. These are all traits that Linux users love. At launch, the browser is available in Debian and RPM file packages and supports Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and openSUSE- based Linux distributions. Opera GX claims it has invested in Linux support due to overwhelming demand from its community. They also state that their privacy-first mindset aligns well with the expectations of Linux users. * ⚓ Paul Thurrott ☛ Opera_GX_Comes_to_Linux⠀⇛ Opera today released the first version of its Opera GX gaming web browser for Linux. Opera GX was previously available on Windows and Mac. “We know the Linux community,” Opera’s Patrick Curtin writes. “We know you value total system control, next-level customization, and robust privacy and security, all of which is baked into the DNA of Opera GX. [This is] no simple port, we’re here for the long term, with a dedicated team that will fix bugs, deploy quality of life improvements and regular updates, and be active in Linux community forums.” * ⚓ Opera_GX_Gaming_Browser_Lands_on_Linux_After_Community_Demand⠀⇛ Opera GX is now on Linux. The gaming browser from Norwegian company Opera now brings its signature performance controls, gaming integrations, and unparalleled options for customization to the platform. Demand for a Linux version of Opera GX has hit a breaking point across gaming subreddits, Discord and Linux forums, with gamers and developers consistently asking for the browser to support the platform in public communities and other forums. With this release, Opera GX delivers what many in the community have been waiting for: a gaming browser that aligns with Linux's privacy-first mindset while still meeting the high-performance expectations of modern gamers. * ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ Opera_GX_is_finally_on_Linux_—_and_it’s_the_full experience⠀⇛ The most popular gaming browser is finally making the jump to fully open-source. That's right: Opera GX is heading to Linux, bringing its unparalleled customization options and dazzling noises and lights to a distro near you. * ⚓ Beta News ☛ Opera_GX_arrives_on_Linux_with_built-in_ad_blocking_and VPN⠀⇛ Opera GX has officially arrived on Linux, bringing the gaming- focused browser’s resource controls, customization features, and built-in privacy tools to the platform for the first time. Opera says interest in a Linux version has been building across forums, Discord, and Reddit, although it’s hard to gauge how widespread demand for it really is. Even so, Linux support has been missing until now despite the browser being available on Windows and macOS for years. * ⚓ Opera_GX_now_available_on_Linux_“after_community_demand”_with_built-in ad_blocker_and_VPN⠀⇛ Opera has announced that its GX browser, which is “built specifically for gamers,” is now available on Linux, as of March 19. This year really seems to be shaping up to be the year of Linux gaming (for real this time), and support for Opera GX on Linux is another facet of that, albeit not as big as something like GOG’s upcoming native Linux build or Valve’s Steam Machine. For Linux users, Firefox remains a popular choice. Mozilla even recommended you switch to Linux recently when it dropped support for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1. Firefox is open-source and even comes pre-installed on many popular Linux distros. However, the introduction of Opera GX may be a tempting option for those seeking more gaming-friendly features. * ⚓ Opera_GX_Arrives_on_Linux⠀⇛ The expansion of browser options for Linux users has taken a significant step forward as Opera officially brings its GX gaming browser to the platform. Long requested by the community, this release aims to provide the same granular hardware control and aesthetic customisation that Windows and macOS users have enjoyed since the browser’s debut in 2019. * ⚓ Opera_GX_browser_now_on_Linux⠀⇛ Linux operating systems are steadily becoming more acceptable as PC ubiquity increases and Windows shoves AI into its operating system. Still, making the switch can be an uncomfortable jump for many. Opera wants to make the leap easier. It announced today that its Opera GX browser, used by around 25 million people across Windows and macOS, is available for Linux now. * ⚓ Neowin ☛ Opera_GX,_the_browser_for_gamers,_has_finally_landed_on Linux⠀⇛ After years of user requests, Opera has finally decided to bless GNU/Linux users with its neon-accented, RGB-lit, cyberpunk-styled, gamer-focused browser, Opera GX. * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Opera_GX,_a_web_browser_for_gamers,_arrives_on_Linux⠀⇛ Linux users can now install Opera GX, a gaming-focused spin off of the regular Opera web browser which, the Norwegian-based company say, has amassed over 34 million monthly active users since its launch on backdoored Windows in 2019. Opera GX is a Chromium-based web browser (as is the standard version of Opera, which has been available on GNU/Linux for decades). * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Opera_GX_finally_arrives_on_GNU/Linux_by_popular demand_—_offers_gamers_and_developers_a_highly_customizable_browser_with advanced_resource_management⠀⇛ Opera brings its gaming browser to GNU/Linux users enabling better system control performance tuning and a highly personalized browsing experience. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1609 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/20/Germany_s_Sovereign_Digital_Stack_Mandates_ODF_a_Landmark_Valid.1.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/20/Germany_s_Sovereign_Digital_Stack_Mandates_ODF_a_Landmark_Valid.1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Germany’s Sovereign Digital Stack Mandates ODF: a Landmark Validation of Open Document Standards⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 20, 2026 Germany’s federal “Deutschland-Stack” puts Open Document Format at the center of its digital infrastructure plans.

If the window manager is separate from whatever is handling input events, either some things trigger synchronous delays in further event handling or sufficiently fast typeahead and actions are in a race with the window manager to see if it handles changes in where future events should go fast enough or if some of your typing and other actions are misdirected to the wrong place because the window manager is lagging. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux_is_less_intimidating_when_you_know_what_a_"distro"_actually is⠀⇛ So you’ve heard about this wonderful thing called Linux and how it’s an open-source alternative to macOS and Windows.

The reTerminal D1001 is a fully enclosed solution designed for HMI applications such as control panels, vision-enabled IoT terminals, video intercoms, and smart dashboards. One highlight compared to other ESP32-P4 displays is optional support for 4G LTE cellular connectivity using an mPCIe module and SIM card slot, as well as LoRaWAN using a Stamp module. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Industrial_RS-485/Modbus_Raspberry_Pi_HAT_works_with OpenPLC,_supports_7V-32V_DC_input⠀⇛ We have previously written about various industrial Raspberry Pi systems and gateways that come with RS-485 built in, but we had yet to cover a dedicated RS-485 Raspberry Pi HAT. To fill this gap, EngineElectronicAccessories, a developer based in Sweden, has introduced the “Industrial RS485 / Modbus HAT” designed for industrial automation, monitoring, and the OpenPLC open-source PLC suite. The board features an onboard RS-485 transceiver with TVS diode protection and supports long- distance communication over the RS-485 standard. It uses the Pi’s hardware UART interface and includes Tx/Rx LEDs for diagnostics. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Avaota_F2_–_Allwinner_V861_RISC-V_SBC_targets_Hey_Hi_ (AI)_cameras_with_PTZ_and_audio_support⠀⇛ Avaota F2 is the first SBC based on an Allwinner V861 dual-core 64-bit RISC-V SoC with 128MB on-chip DDR3 memory, support for 4K cameras, a H.265 video codec, and a 1 TOPS Hey Hi (AI) accelerator. It’s an update to the earlier Avaota F1 camera board based on an Allwinner V821 SoC. The new open-source hardware F2 SBC offers several benefits, including support for both Full HD and 4K camera sensors, motor control for the PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) feature, and improved audio support through speaker (one) and microphone (two) connectors. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Clintech_Pico_–_The_first_Raspberry_Pi_RP2354B_board offers_48_GPIOs_in_Raspberry_Pi_Pico_form_factor⠀⇛ Designed by Clintech Ltd. in Bulgaria, the Clintech Pico Board appears to be the first development board based on the Raspberry Pi RP2354B chip with 2MB on-chip flash. It retains the same form factor as a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 but adds extra GPIOs to make use of the 48 general-purpose GPIOs provided by the RP2354B chip. Like the Raspberry Pi Pico 2, this board features 40 castellated and through holes on the sides, exposing GPIOs 0–22 and 26–28, along with 3 debug pins. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ AICore_DX-M1M_Module_Provides_25_TOPS_Edge_Hey_Hi_(AI) Acceleration_in_M.2_Form_Factor⠀⇛ Radxa, in collaboration with DEEPX, has introduced the AICore DX-M1M, a compact Hey Hi (AI) acceleration module designed for edge inference workloads.

It’s like someone set a “mute” at the hardware level, because you can actually see the sound playing in the Sound panel. It appears that, starting with Linux kernel 6.17, the sound kernel source directory has been completely reorganized in the upstream mainline kernel. Therefore, someone had to write a kernel audio driver for Macs with the Cirrus Logic CS8409 HDA chip to work with newer Linux kernels.

The idea was to combine a mobile device with a desktop device to create something far more useful. Back then, it was a quaint idea with amazing possibilities. Now, however, it has even more compelling implications. According to Pew Research, 98% of Americans own a smartphone. That same report concludes that at least 16% of Americans are "smartphone- only" users. In other words, one in six Americans owns neither a desktop nor a laptop computer and depends solely on their phone for online activity, productivity, and entertainment.

Smart TVs typically come with bloatware, advertisements, and unwanted tracking. They might feature slow Ethernet ports or outdated processors, too. All of these concerns are valid reasons to buy a dedicated streaming stick or box, like a Roku, Apple TV, or Google TV streamer, instead of sticking with your smart TV's default operating system. On the flip side, if your smart TV's interface is actually good, using it can save you the added cost and complexity of buying separate hardware. I've tried smart TVs running Google TV and Samsung's Tizen OS in the past, and haven't been impressed. My primary TV is a 4K Samsung panel paired with an Apple TV 4K that I usually use for AirPlay, streaming, and a Gigabit Ethernet connection. While moving apartments, I relied solely on the LG StanbyME Go portable television system instead of my usual setup. That meant using LG's proprietary webOS software, based on Linux, in place of my usual streaming box. To my surprise, it wasn't actually bad, and I'm going to seek out webOS TVs in the future.

Need an app? Install it. Need another one? Install that too. APT, Flatpak, Snap were mixed and match, and then sprinkled in a PPA or two. What could possibly go wrong? For a while, nothing did. And that was the problem. Because it gave me just enough confidence to keep going. Linux didn’t push back. It didn’t warn me. It didn’t pop up a helpful little message saying, “Hey, maybe don’t install three different versions of the same app from three different ecosystems.” It just … let me. And the more it let me, the more I assumed I knew what I was doing. Until one day, everything broke. Not dramatically, and definitely not in a satisfying, explosion-and-error-messages kind of way. Just … subtly wrong. Apps stopped launching, updates failed, and dependencies started arguing with each other like a dysfunctional family that had been politely avoiding conflict for years and suddenly decided tonight was the night. That was the evening I realized I didn’t actually understand how Linux installs software. Read_on Also: * ⚓ I_thought_my_Linux_system_was_broken_until_I_checked_this_one_setting⠀⇛ There’s a very specific kind of problem that doesn’t show up in logs, doesn’t trigger errors, or spike your CPU. It just quietly ruins your mood. That’s where I found myself. Sitting in front of a Cinnamon desktop that looked perfectly healthy and felt … wrong. Not slow in the dramatic sense. Nothing froze or crashed, but every interaction had this faint resistance to it, like the system was thinking just a little too long before doing anything. Animations didn’t glide anymore. They sort of … negotiated their way across the screen. Typing felt like it had to pass through a tiny buffer of doubt before appearing. Even opening a window carried a subtle hesitation, as if the desktop needed a moment to emotionally prepare. So I did the rational thing. I checked everything. The system monitor was open, staring at it as if it owed me an explanation. CPU usage barely moved, memory was comfortably under control, and disk activity looked like it had taken the day off. By every measurable metric, this system should have felt fast. Which is when doubt creeps in. Because if the system isn’t slow … what exactly am I feeling? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⡤⢤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⣤⡤⠤⠤⢤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⣭⡭⠭⠭⡭⠤⠤⣤⣤⡤⠤⠤⠤⠤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡀⠀⢠⣿⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣒⣒⣒⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⡿⢶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣶⣶⣷⠶⡶⢿⡿⣗⠶⣶⣶⣶⠿⠿⡿⠿⣿⡿⣿⢿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣦⣄⣤ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠿⠷⠾⠾⠿⠿⣷⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣍⣏⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣯⣭⣭⣭⣭⣯⣭⣿⣿⡇⢰⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣛⣛⣛⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠶⠶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⡷⠶⢶⠶⡶⠶⢶⠶⠶⠶⠶⡶⠶⢷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⡆⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣾⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣭⣽⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣯⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣭⣯⣯⣽⣭⣭⣩⣝⣏⣭⣽⣭⣿⣭⣭⣭⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠶⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡷⢾⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠶⠶⡶⡶⠶⠾⠶⠶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣯⣽⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣿⣿⣯⣽⣿⣭⣿⣿⣯⣿⣽⣯⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠶⢶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣷⠶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⡷⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠾⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣯⣽⣿⣿⣟⣻⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⢶⢶⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡶⢾⢿⣿⠿⠿⣿⡷⠶⠶⠶⡶⢶⢶⠶⢶⢶⣶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣉⣋⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣙⣉⣻⣿⣿⣿⣯⣉⣏⣉⣙⣻⣙⣙⣛⣙⣟⣛⣛⣛⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣯⣭⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣭⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠘⠸⣿⣿⣿⡟ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠋⠋⠉⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣭⣭⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠏⠉⠉⠉⠉⠹⠉⠉⠉⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠉⠉⠹⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2497 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/20/Open_Hardware_Modding_Linux_On_Mobile_Arduino_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/20/Open_Hardware_Modding_Linux_On_Mobile_Arduino_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: Linux On Mobile, Arduino, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 20, 2026 * ⚓ Linux On Mobile ☛ 2026-03-15_[Older]_Weekly_GNU-like_Mobile_Linux Update_(11/2026):_Input,_Budgets_and_Widgets⠀⇛ * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Sega_Genesis_Finally_Gets_Long-Awaited_Stock_Ticker_App_37 Years_After_Launch⠀⇛ The build runs on a MegaWiFi cartridge, which uses an ESP8266 or ESP32 microcontroller to add WiFi communication to the Sega Genesis (or Mega Drive). [Mike] wrote a custom program for the platform that would query the Finnhub HTTPS API and display live stock prices via the Genesis’s Video Display Processor. It does so via a clean console-like interface that would be familiar to users of other 16-bit machines from this era, though seeing so much textual output would have been uncommon. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ Use_an_Arduino_UNO_R4’s_DAC_as_a_signal_generator⠀⇛ That DAC has 12-bit resolution, which means it can create 4096 “steps” between 0V and 3.3V. Each step is therefore approximately 0.0008V, so the generated analog waveform is smooth. That’s important for producing something like a nice sine wave, as you can do by following this tutorial. The only hardware you need other than the Arduino UNO R4 is a rotary encoder, a breadboard, and some jumper wires. You’ll probably also want an oscilloscope to see the results. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Tech_hobbyist_makes_shoulder-mounted_guided_missile prototype_with_$96_in_parts_and_a_3D_printer_—_DIY_MANPADS_includes assisted_targeting,_ballistics_calculations,_optional_camera_for tracking⠀⇛ Once the second switch is hit, the connection extends to the rocket itself, and at that moment, orientation angles start being calculated for the missile's canards to use (the movable wings that jut out of the missile to orient it). The launcher contains an ESP32 microprocessor along with a GPS, barometer, and compass. The missile itself contains another ESP32, coupled with an MPU6050 inertial measurement unit for calculating orientation and velocity, and move the canards as mentioned. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2566 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/20/OpenShot_3_5_Open_Source_Video_Editor_Released_with_New_Default.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/20/OpenShot_3_5_Open_Source_Video_Editor_Released_with_New_Default.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ OpenShot 3.5 Open-Source Video Editor Released with New Default Timeline⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Mar 20, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇OpenShot_3.5⦈_ Coming three months after OpenShot 3.4, the OpenShot 3.5 release introduces a new default timeline that features much smoother zooming, scrolling, dragging, trimming, snapping, and multi-clip editing, especially on larger projects.

It’s a minimalist distribution offering a variety of desktop environments, including KDE Plasma, Gnome, Cosmic, and Cinnamon. It’s designed for speed and efficiency, utilizing a long-term support Linux kernel. The ISO weighs in at 1.76 GB and the system requirements are fairly typical: Specifically, a 64-bit processor with at least 2 GB RAM (8 GB RAM is recommended), and at least 30 GB available storage (60 GB SSD is suggested). While an internet connection is optional for installation, there is a suggestion that a connection be available in order to add software post-installation.

Thus, everything requires constant verification of identity, access, and authorization to protect from hackers, data breaches and insider threats. * ⚓ Logikal Solutions ☛ Not_All_Movement_is_Forward⠀⇛ As more and more Open-Source projects get developed by for- profit companies run by MBAs we get the dual mortal sins of Agile and movement. * ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ The_Fragmented_World_of_Dependency_Policy⠀⇛ I’ve been thinking about adding policy features to git-pkgs/ actions, the GitHub Actions that check licenses, scan for vulnerabilities, and generate SBOMs during CI. The license action currently takes a comma-separated list of SPDX identifiers and the vulnerability action takes a severity string, which is fine for simple cases but obviously not enough once you need to ignore specific CVEs with expiry dates, ban particular packages regardless of license, allow exceptions for vetted transitive dependencies, or set different rules for different repositories. I went looking for a format to adopt rather than invent. I’ve also been investigating what it would take to add dependency intelligence features to Forgejo, the forge that Codeberg and a growing number of self-hosted instances run, and if Forgejo gets a dependency graph it will need a policy layer with the same questions about licenses and vulnerabilities and banned packages. Building two tools against the same policy format was the goal, but that required finding one worth using. I found about forty tools that make automated policy decisions about dependencies, and every single one has its own format. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Reproducible_Analytical_Pipelines⠀⇛ It is becoming more common for this kind of data processing to be handled by a Reproducible Analytical Pipeline (RAP). A RAP is a, largely, automated process written in code. An aim of using RAPs here, is to reduce the amount of manual and ad-hoc input into the data processing, so that when given the same input data you would generate the same downstream products and so that the process should work successfully and predictably when given new data. By placing the processing decisions in code, RAPs make data processing more easily auditable and more transparent. * ⚓ [Old] Haskell For All ☛ Data_is_Code⠀⇛ However, you can also go to the exact opposite extreme: "Data is Code"! You can make everything into code and implement data structures in terms of code. You might wonder what that even means: how can you write any code if you don't have any primitive data structures to operate on? Fascinatingly, Alonzo Church discovered a long time ago that if you have the ability to define functions you have a complete programming language. "Church encoding" is the technique named after his insight that you could transform data structures into functions. This post is partly a Church encoding tutorial and partly an announcement for my newly released annah compiler which implements the Church encoding of data types. Many of the examples in this post are valid annah code that you can play with. Also, to be totally pedantic annah implements Boehm- Berarducci encoding which you can think of as the typed version of Church encoding. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-03-12_[Older]_Dancer_2.1.0_Released⠀⇛ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-03-10_[Older]_This_week_in_PSC_(217)_|_2026-03-09⠀⇛ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-03-15_[Older]_perlmodules.net_is_back_up⠀⇛ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-03-15_[Older]_Foswiki_2.1.11_is_released⠀⇛ * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Major_Update_for_revss_Package_for_R_–_v3.1.0⠀⇛ This is a big one! The revss package for R, which provides robust estimation for small samples, received a major, breaking update. The entire calculation engine was rewritten, new functionality added, and massive Monte Carlo analyses were run to calculate bias reduction factors. It should be at version 3.1.0, even though CRAN is showing 3.0.0. What happened and why? Where to even start? o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Getting_to_the_bottom_of_TMLE:_targeting_in_action⠀⇛ In the previous post, I worked my way through some key elements of TMLE theory as I try to understand how it all works. At its essence, TMLE is focused on getting the efficient influence function (EIF) to behave properly. When that happens, the estimator of the target parameter behaves as if it were based on a random sample from the true data-generating distribution. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Jussi Pakkanen ☛ Simple_sort_implementations_vs_production quality_ones⠀⇛ One of the most optimized algorithms in any standard library is sorting. It is used everywhere so it must be fast. Thousands upon thousands of developer hours have been sunk into inventing new algorithms and making sort implementations faster. Pystd has a different design philosophy where fast compilation times and readability of the implementation have higher priority than absolute performance. Perf still very much matters, it has to be fast, but not at the cost of 10x compilation time. This leads to the natural question of how much slower such an implementation would be compared to a production quality one. Could it even be faster? (Spoilers: no) The only way to find out is to run performance benchmarks on actual code. To keep things simple there is only one test set, sorting 10'000'000 consecutive 64 bit integers that have been shuffled to a random order which is the same for all algorithms. This is not an exhaustive test by any means but you have to start somewhere. All tests used GCC 15.2 using -O2 optimization. Pystd code was not thoroughly hand optimized, I only fixed (some of the) obvious hotspots. o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ One_problem_with_(Python)_docstrings_is that_they're_local⠀⇛ When I wrote about documenting my Django forms, I said that I knew I didn't want to put my documentation in docstrings, because I'd written some in the past and then not read it this time around. One of the reasons for that is that Python docstrings have to be attached to functions, or more generally, Python docstrings have to be scattered through your code. The corollary to this is that to find relevant docstrings you have to read through your code and then remember which bits of it are relevant to what you're wondering about. o ⚓ Alcides Fonseca ☛ Z3_Python_in_the_Browser_in_10_minutes_by Alcides_Fonseca⠀⇛ But there was an issue: aeon is written in Python and relies on the z3 bindings that contain C++ code. We can run Python code in the browser with Pyodide, but the native libraries are not directly supported (at least this one, that relies on multi-threading). o ⚓ Eric Matthes ☛ How_many_digits_are_there_in_pi?⠀⇛ Many of us who marvel at the wonder of mathematical constants just enjoyed another pi day. This year's celebration had me thinking about how we decide how many digits of pi to use whenever we're working with that number. Without checking, and without reading ahead, what's your answer to this question: [...] * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Hanno Embregts ☛ Java_26_Is_Here,_And_With_It_a_Solid_Foundation for_the_Future⠀⇛ Java 26 is here! Six months ago, we welcomed Java 25 into our hearts, which means it’s time for another fresh helping of Java features. This time, the set of features is a bit smaller compared to some of the previous releases, which can only mean one thing: the focus for this release was to provide a solid foundation for something big to be released soon™️! My hope is that the first JEPs out of Project Valhalla will be announced later this year. That hope is fueled by some of Java 26’s changes as they feel like appropriate preparation steps for the first Valhalla features (this is especially true for JEPs 500 and 529). Regardless of any future plans, this post focuses on everything that has been added in this release, giving you a brief introduction to each of the features. Where applicable the differences with Java 25 are highlighted and a few typical use cases are provided, so that you’ll be more than ready to start using these features after reading this. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2943 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/20/Red_Hat_Promotes_Slop_Pays_for_Fake_Coverage_and_Research_to_He.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/20/Red_Hat_Promotes_Slop_Pays_for_Fake_Coverage_and_Research_to_He.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat Promotes Slop, Pays for Fake 'Coverage' and 'Research' to Help It Sell Slop Plagiarism⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 20, 2026 * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Automate_test_and_failure_analysis_via_streams_for_Apache Kafka⠀⇛ In enterprise software testing, teams often rely on multiple platforms for various stages of the quality lifecycle. The ReportPortal excels at real-time test reporting and AI-powered failure analysis, while Polarion_ALM serves as the single source of truth for full software testing lifecycle management. The challenge is keeping failure analysis verdicts in sync between these two systems without burdening QE teams with manual data entry. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Hybrid_loan-decisioning_with_OpenShift_Hey_Hi_(AI)_and_Vertex AI [Ed: Red Hat pushing slop]⠀⇛ This blog presents a practical solution pattern that demonstrates how a modern financial application can make loan decisions using multiple machine learning (ML) systems deployed across hybrid environments. The architecture reflects real- world financial services requirements, where regulatory, compliance, and data residency constraints influence where models are deployed. § A distributed architecture for regulated environments In this pattern, a loan approval classifier runs on Surveillance Giant Google Cloud using Vertex AI, while an ONNX- based regression model for interest rate prediction is deployed on Red_Hat_OpenShift_AI running on premise. Many financial institutions require sensitive customer and risk data to remain on premise or within tightly controlled environments. Deploying OpenShift Hey Hi (AI) on premise enables these organizations to run ML workloads close to regulated data while still integrating with cloud-based services. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Rebalance_hub_workloads_with_managed_cluster_migration⠀⇛ As organizations scale their Kubernetes deployments, Red_Hat Advanced_Cluster_Management_for_Kubernetes hub clusters can become overwhelmed. A single hub that manages hundreds of clusters often experiences significant strain. This pressure can cause resource exhaustion, which burdens the CPU and memory, and increased API server latency, which slows down policy enforcement. Consequently, some hubs may become overloaded while others sit idle. These factors create scaling bottlenecks, making it difficult to add more clusters to capacity-constrained hubs. Traditional solutions require expensive vertical scaling or complex hub redeployments. In this article, we will discuss a new approach—dynamically redistributing managed clusters across hubs using a multicluster global hub. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_operate_OpenShift_in_air-gapped_environments⠀⇛ Many organizations follow strict security and regulatory rules to minimize external exposure. In many environments, systems are already protected through layered security controls such as firewalls, demilitarized zones (DMZs), bastion or jump hosts, reverse proxies, content delivery networks (CDNs), and virtual private networks (VPNs). Network access is often further restricted through tightly controlled subnets, encrypted communications over HTTPS, certificate-based authentication, and zero trust architecture (ZTA) principles. These principles emphasize continuous verification and least-privilege access. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Optimizing_cluster_observability:_A_strategic approach_to_selective_log_routing_in_Red_Hat_OpenShift⠀⇛ In a standard OpenShift deployment, the ingress controller (HAProxy) and various system operators generate a continuous stream of metadata. While these logs are essential for a security operations center (SOC), they are often noise to an application developer attempting to trace a logic error. * ⚓ [Repeat] Red Hat Official ☛ Operationalizing_"Bring_Your_Own_Agent"_on Red_Hat_AI,_the_OpenClaw_edition [Ed: Red Hat selling slop, as usual under IBM]⠀⇛ The AI agent world is messy. Teams are reaching for LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, AutoGen, or building custom solutions from scratch. Good. That's how it should be during the creative phase. But once an agent leaves a developer's laptop and starts talking to production data, calling external application programming interfaces (APIs), or running on shared infrastructure, freedom without guardrails stops being a feature and starts being a liability. * ⚓ KubeCon_+_CloudNativeCon_EU_2026_Preview:_AI,_Sovereignty,_and_the_Rise of_Cloud-Native_as_the_Control_Plane [Ed: Red Hat funded propaganda about Red Hat; this is "AI" and other buzzwords disguised as "research"... it's SPAM and malpractice]⠀⇛ As we head into KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026 in Amsterdam, it’s clear this event has moved far beyond Kubernetes. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_at_NVIDIA_GTC [Ed: Red Hat made a shrine to slop]⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3077 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/20/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/20/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 20, 2026 * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Thursday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by Debian (freetype), Fedora (aqualung, kiss-fft, libtasn1, mac, and vim), Red Hat (libarchive, osbuild-composer, and rhc), Slackware (expat), SUSE (ca-certificates-mozilla, chromium, cockpit, cockpit- machines, cockpit-podman, curl, docker, docker-compose, docker- stable, gnutls, gstreamer-rtsp-server, gstreamer-plugins-ugly, gstreamer- plugins-rs, gstreamer-plugins-libav, gstreamer- plugins-good, gstreamer-plugins- base, gstreamer-plugins-bad, gstreamer-docs, gstreamer-devtools, gstreamer, gvfs, helm, kernel, krb5-appl, libsoup, libxslt, libxml2, openssh, python- cryptography, python-django, python-pypdf2, python-simpleeval, python311, qemu, ruby4.0-rubygem-sprockets, ruby4.0-rubygem- thor, ruby4.0-rubygem-web-console, ruby4.0-rubygem-websocket- extensions, skaffold, smb4k, tomcat, ucode-intel, util-linux, virtiofsd, and zlib), and Ubuntu (bouncycastle, exiv2, freerdp3, linux-aws, linux-aws-5.4, linux-gcp-5.4, linux- oracle, linux-oracle-5.4, linux-xilinx-zynqmp, linux-aws-fips, python2.7, roundcube, and valkey). * ⚓ Otto_Kekäläinen:_Automated_security_validation:_How_7,000+_tests_shaped MariaDB's_new_AppArmor_profile⠀⇛ Linux kernel security modules provide a good additional layer of security around individual programs by restricting what they are allowed to do, and at best block and detect zero-day security vulnerabilities as soon as anyone tries to exploit them, long before they are widely known and reported. However, the challenge is how to create these security profiles without accidentally also blocking legitimate actions. For MariaDB in Debian and Ubuntu, a new AppArmor profile was recently created by leveraging the extensive test suite with 7000+ tests, giving good confidence that AppArmor is unlikely to yield false positive alerts with it. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Russian_APT_Exploits_Zimbra_Vulnerability_Against Ukraine⠀⇛ Insufficient sanitization of CSS content within HTML emails leads to inline script execution when the message is opened in a browser. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Critical_ScreenConnect_Vulnerability_Exposes_Machine Keys⠀⇛ Latest ScreenConnect version adds encrypted storage and management to prevent unauthorized access to machine keys. * ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ Hacking_a_Robot_Vacuum⠀⇛ Someone tries to remote control his own DJI Romo vacuum, and ends up controlling 7,000_of_them from all around the world. The IoT is horribly insecure, but we already_knew_that. * ⚓ Wiz Inc ☛ Linux_Debian_vulnerability_analysis_and_mitigation⠀⇛ In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: audit: add missing syscalls to read class The "at" variant of getxattr() and listxattr() are missing from the audit read class. Calling getxattrat() or listxattrat() on a file to read its extended attributes will bypass audit rules such as: -w /tmp/test -p rwa -k test_rwa The current patch adds missing syscalls to the audit read class. * ⚓ New_malware_targets_Linux_network_devices_for_DDoS,_crypto_mining [Ed: Cites slopfarm as its source]⠀⇛ The CondiBot variant, derived from Mirai, transforms compromised systems into DDoS attack nodes, while "Monaco" scans for exposed SSH servers, brute-forces credentials, and mines Monero cryptocurrency. Both malware samples support multiple architectures including ARM, MIPS, and x86, enabling them to infect virtually any vulnerable Linux device regardless of hardware vendor. CondiBot's persistence mechanisms include disabling system reboot utilities and manipulating hardware watchdogs while killing competing botnet processes. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3199 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/20/So_called_FSFE_Encounters_Outsourcing_Pains_Speaks_About_Attest.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/20/So_called_FSFE_Encounters_Outsourcing_Pains_Speaks_About_Attest.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ So-called 'FSFE' Encounters Outsourcing Pains, Speaks About "Attestation"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 20, 2026 * ⚓ 2026-03-16_[Older]_450_FSFE_supporters_affected:_Payment_provider_Nexi cancelled_us [Ed: Did Nexi realise 'FSFE'_imitates_another_org?]⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-03-13_[Older]_SFP#48:_Policy_and_EU:_From_open_questions_and attestation,_how_the_CRA_is_moving_forward!⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-03-10_[Older]_It's_all_about_our_community [Ed: Companies like these [1, 2] are not "community"]⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3228 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/20/Stable_kernels_Linux_6_19_9_and_Linux_6_18_19.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/20/Stable_kernels_Linux_6_19_9_and_Linux_6_18_19.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Stable kernels: Linux 6.19.9, and Linux 6.18.19⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 20, 2026 I'm announcing the release of the 6.19.9 kernel.

LinuxConfig ☛ How_to_Change_Default_Desktop_Environment_on_Ubuntu 26.04⠀⇛ * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Setup_APT_Proxy_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ If you manage a Debian 13 server on a corporate network or a restricted environment, you already know the pain — apt update fails silently, packages refuse to download, and no error message tells you why. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Floorp_Browser_on_AlmaLinux_10⠀⇛ If you run AlmaLinux 10 as your daily workstation or development machine, you already know it ships with Firefox as the default browser. Firefox is solid, but it offers limited UI flexibility and keeps telemetry enabled unless you manually turn it off. Floorp Browser solves both problems out of the box. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Blender_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ You just upgraded to Fedora 43 and want to get Blender running without breaking your system or spending an afternoon hunting through forum posts. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ DMARC_DNS_record_inheritance_and_DMARC alignment_requirements⠀⇛ To simplify, DMARC is based on the domain in the 'From: ' header, and what policy (if any) that domain specifies. As I've written about (and rediscovered) more than once (here and here), DMARC will look up the DNS record for the DMARC policy in exactly one of two places, either in the exact From: domain or on the organization's top level domain. In other words, if a message has a From: of 'someone@breaking.news.example.org', a receiver will first look for a DMARC TXT DNS record with the name _dmarc.breaking.news.example.org and then one with the name _dmarc.example.org. * ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Create_HTTPS_Local_Domains_for_Your_Projects⠀⇛ It is not a real security threat, you know that, but it is annoying, and more importantly, it creates a problem when you need to test features that browsers restrict to secure origins, such as service workers, geolocation, clipboard access, camera and microphone permissions, and HTTP/2. * ⚓ Cassidy Williams ☛ Notes_for_my_future_self_on_how_to_set_up_a_camera for_streaming⠀⇛ Setting up my camera was a pain because I couldn’t pull in settings (or even see them) from my older camera, so I had to do it all from scratch. This is me writing everything down for any pour soul who also has to deal with this… which could also be future me. * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ jobs_Command_in_Linux:_List_and_Manage_Background_Jobs⠀⇛ The jobs command lists background and suspended processes in the current shell session. This guide covers syntax, options, job specifications, and practical examples. * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ top_Cheatsheet⠀⇛ Quick reference for monitoring processes, CPU, and memory usage with top in Linux ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 3787 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 39 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
