The new beta previews technologies which will appear in the upcoming long-term support (LTS) release. The Edubuntu release announcement shares highlights for the community edition: [...] * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Canonical's_Netplan_is_hard_to_deal_with_in automation⠀⇛ Canonical expects you to operate all of your Ubuntu server networking through Canonical Netplan. In reality, Netplan will render things down to a systemd-networkd configuration, which has some important effects and creates some limitations. Part of that rendered networkd configuration is your DNS resolution settings, and the natural effect of this is that they have to be associated with some interface, because that's the resolved model of the world. This means that Netplan specifically attaches DNS server information to a specific network interfaces in your Netplan configuration. This means that you must find the specific device name and then modify settings within it, and those settings are intermingled (in the same file) with settings you can't touch. * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Modern_Linux_identity_management:_from_local_auth_to_the_cloud with_Ubuntu⠀⇛ At Canonical, we have developed a comprehensive framework to make identity management across Ubuntu server and desktop deployments more secure, bridging the gap between Active Directory legacy environments and modern cloud identity providers. * ⚓ Canonical ☛ The_“scanner_report_has_to_be_green”_trap⠀⇛ Stability, backports, and hidden risks of the bleeding edge In the modern DevSecOps world, CISOs are constantly looking for signals in the noise, and the outputs of security scanners often carry a lot of weight. * ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ I_stopped_using_Snap_—_Flatpak_just_works_better⠀⇛ ​​​Ubuntu was one of the first Linux distros I tried and liked, so I naturally chose Snap, its "native" universal package. It was only recently, when I tried Flatpak, that I realized some of the tiny issues I always considered system problems were triggered by Snap's sandboxing. Now I've used Flatpak enough to know it's generally a better option. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 373 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/28/Coyote_Linux_security_focused_distribution.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/28/Coyote_Linux_security_focused_distribution.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Coyote Linux – security-focused distribution⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 28, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Coyote_Linux⦈_ Quoting: Coyote Linux - security-focused distribution - LinuxLinks — Coyote Linux is a security-focused Linux distribution designed to deliver firewall, VPN, IP routing, and related networking services.

RAM swapping is a common tool your OS uses to free up RAM in occasions, but if done unproperly, it can do more harm than good. If you're on Linux, there's two ways to do this: ZSWAP and ZRAM. Let's explore both.

Although I briefly considered using a compiled language1 I ended up deciding on Python. This was partly because Python happens to have very good bindings for Tk, and partly because I’ve passed my CSVs through Python-based tooling already so I knew that the CSVs I’d output would result in minimal formatting/git repo churn. I’ve looked at Tk apps a few times but I’ve never written one of my own, so I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to work with. I spent a few hours on this project over the course of a few days, and quite honestly most of that time was just spent picking up the basics of Tk. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Planetary_Annihilation:_TITANS_gets_revived_as_the_devs ask_for_Linux_help_and_feedback_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Planetary Annihilation: TITANS has returned with a new community team working on updates, and they need Linux user help to get it fixed up. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Rebellion_revealed_first-person_action_horror_Alien Deathstorm_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ It's not quite the classic real Alien series but I'll take it.

open standard. It was designed and developed by the community under the auspices of OASIS, and subsequently ratified by ISO, to be implemented by anyone, on any platform, without royalties, without hidden dependencies and without the permission of any single company. These are not trivial technical details, but a statement of political and economic strategy embedded within the format itself. ODF is based on a clean XML schema, easy to read even by non- technical users and reusable. Colour naming follows standard web conventions, and its architecture reuses components from widely adopted open standards. The format was designed to work within an open and transparent infrastructure, not against it. Read_on Also: * ⚓ ODF:_Open_by_Design,_Not_by_Marketing_-_FOSS_Force⠀⇛ Whenever a user, a government, a school or a business chooses the format in which to store and exchange its digital documents, it is not merely making a technical decision, but is placing a bet on the kind of digital infrastructure on which it will depend in the future. In this sense, ODF and OOXML are not two equivalent options on the same shelf, but two radically different solutions: one geared towards a future of openness, interoperability and digital sovereignty, and the other towards a past of defending a vendor’s dominant market position through user lock-in. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠿⣿⣿⣶⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣉⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⡄⠀⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣷⣾⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢁⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠛⠛⢛⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠉⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠉⠉⠉⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⡟⡛⠟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⣀⣤⣴⣤⣄⡀⠀⠹⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⡀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣷⣷⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣶⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠁⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⢹⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠸⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⡗⠀⠈⠉⠻⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡟⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣹⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣧⣄⡀⠀⠴⢿⠟⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣧⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⠿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⣸⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⣰⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠈⠛⠛⠛⠋⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⣀⣠⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣄⣀⣀⣤⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1597 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/28/Open_Hardware_Modding_ESP32_SparkFun_64_bit_RISC_V_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/28/Open_Hardware_Modding_ESP32_SparkFun_64_bit_RISC_V_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: ESP32, SparkFun, 64- bit RISC-V, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 28, 2026 * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Luckfox_Lume_–_A_compact_Allwinner_T153_SBC_with_dual GbE,_PoE,_GPIO_header,_and_MIPI_interfaces_for_industrial_HMI applications⠀⇛ Luckfox Lume is a compact industrial SBC powered by an Allwinner T153 quad-core Cortex-A7 SoC with a low-power RISC- V core, and equipped with 128MB DDR3, 256MB SPI NAND flash, and dual Gigabit Ethernet The board also features a microSD card slot, a USB 2.0 Type-A port, a USB Type-C port, MIPI DSI and CSI connectors, and a 40-pin GPIO header suitable for a range of HMI applications. By default, the board is powered through USB-C, but a PoE model is also available. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ ESP32-P4-Pi-VIEWE_–_A_Raspberry_Pi-inspired_ESP32-P4_+ ESP32-C6_board_with_Ethernet,_USB,_40-pin_GPIO_header,_and_more⠀⇛ The ESP32-P4-Pi-VIEWE is a Raspberry Pi-inspired development board equipped with a VIEWE ESP32-P4C6-Core module, combining a 400 MHz ESP32-P4 dual-core RISC-V MCU with an ESP32-C6 chip for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 wireless connectivity, as well as 32MB PSRAM and 16MB NOR flash. * ⚓ peppe8o ☛ LangChain_with_Raspberry_PI_and_Ollama:_Build_your_Self- Hosted_Hey_Hi_(AI)_Apps⠀⇛ In this tutorial, I will show you how to install LangChain on a Raspberry PI computer board, running a complete Artificial Intelligence stack locally with Ollama. I’ll not use any cloud service, and the full code will run self-hosted in your computer board. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ We_just_announced_SEVEN_new_products,_ready_to_expand_your Arduino®_UNO™_Q_board⠀⇛ Arduino Days is a great moment to celebrate our community – and what better way to party than with a new product… or seven!> * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Alibaba_XuanTie_C950_–_A_powerful,_RVA23-compliant_64- bit_RISC-V_core_for_Edge_Hey_Hi_(AI)_computing⠀⇛ * ⚓ ROS Industrial ☛ PLCnext_ROS_Bridge:_Enabling_Hardware_Interoperability Between_Industrial_PLCs_and_ROS⠀⇛ For developers already working with ROS, the integration of industrial fieldbuses, I/Os, and functional safety into robotic applications often introduces unexpected challenges. ROS offers a flexible and modular software framework, although connecting it to industrial automation hardware typically requires additional integration layers and specialized knowledge. This led to the idea of creating a solution that allows ROS developers to leverage a PLC where it excels, for example in deterministic control, industrial communication, and safety, while high performance computation and complex logic remain handled within ROS. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ SparkFun_Thing_Plus_–_ESP32-C5_board_offers_dual-band WiFi_6,_Adafruit_Feather_pinout,_LiPo_battery_support⠀⇛ Espressif has recently released the ESP-IDF v6.0 framework with support for ESP32-C5 and ESP32-C61, so we can expect more ESP32-C5 boards. Following the launch of boards like DFRobot FireBeetle 2 and the Espressif DevKitC-1, SparkFun has now launched its Thing Plus – ESP32-C5, an Adafruit Feather- compatible board based on the ESP32-C5. The timing is no coincidence. Although the ESP32-C5 dual-band WiFi 6 SoC was announced back in 2022, hardware makers have been waiting for stable software support. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Luthier_Crafts_Guitar_From_Cardboard⠀⇛ At this point all of the parts are treated similarly to how a wood guitar might be built. The parts are trimmed down on a table saw, glued together, and then finished with a router before getting some other finishing treatments. From there the bridge, tuning pegs, pickups, and strings are added before finally getting finished up. The result is impressive, and without looking closely or being told it’s made from cardboard, it’s not obvious that it was the featured material here. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Laser_Welding_Helps_YouTuber_Get_Ahead_With_Aluminum_Sheet⠀⇛ Laser Welding is apparently the new hotness, in part because these sci-fi rayguns masquerading as tools are really cool. They cut! They weld! They Julienne Fry! Well, maybe not that last one. In any case, perhaps feeling the need to cancel out that coolness as quickly as he possibly could, YouTuber [Wesley Treat] decided to make a giant version of his own head. * ⚓ Leon Mika ☛ Replacing_Ear_Cups_on_my_Sennheniser_HD_280_Pro Headphones⠀⇛ The padding of one of my ear cups of my Sennheniser HD 280 Pro headphones was starting to wear out. I can’t remember how long I’ve had these headphones for but it must have been close to a decade, so to have it last as long as it did is pretty good. I use these headphones pretty much every day, and I have no desire of replacing it. But the old padding had to go, so last week I bought a new set and this morning I set about trying to get it on. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Using_FireWire_On_A_Raspberry_Pi_Before_Linux_Drops Support⠀⇛ Once the premium option for data transfers and remote control for high-end audiovisual and other devices, FireWire (IEEE 1394) has been dying a slow death ever since Apple and Sony switched over to USB. Recently Apple correspondingly dropped support for it in MacOS 26, and Linux will follow in 2029. The bright side of this when you’re someone like [Jeff Geerling] is that this means three more years of Linux support for one’s FireWire gear, including on the Raspberry Pi with prosumer gear from 1999. * ⚓ Jeff Geerling ☛ Bring_back_MiniDV_with_this_Raspberry_Pi_FireWire_HAT_- Jeff_Geerling⠀⇛ In my last post, I showed you to use FireWire on a Raspberry Pi with a PCI Express IEEE 1394 adapter. Now I'll show you how I'm using a new FireWire HAT and a PiSugar3 Plus battery to make a portable MRU, or 'Memory Recording Unit', to replace tape in older FireWire/i.Link/DV cameras. * ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Raspberry_Pi_Pico–powered_sunrise_alarm_clock⠀⇛ Pawel’s wife had already mentioned something that could address the lack-of-light issue. “Light alarm clocks simulate the sunrise process by slowly lighting up our bedrooms when we’re still asleep.” Starting with red light shining on the horizon, sunrise lamps gradually shift to lighter colours, suffusing the room with warm white light and then bright white light to help the user wake up gently — and fully. It took Pawel next to no time to realise that these devices look just like regular alarm clocks, but with “one or a few small but powerful LED diodes” added. As Chief Technology Officer at RapidLab, which specialises in Internet of Things (IoT) research and design, creating one of his own “was not rocket science”. * § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ o ⚓ Rodrigo Ghedin ☛ I_turned_my_Kindle_into_my_own_personal newspaper⠀⇛ Therefore, we’ll need Calibre, a great e-book manager, to convert files *.epub, the most common digital book standard, into a format the Kindle can understand. After installing Calibre, the next step is to create a “book” from a collection of articles/links. Most services of this type, such as Instapaper and Wallabag, generate RSS feeds from the various filters they offer — unread, favorites, folders etc. At first, I thought about combining this feature with another one in Calibre called “Get News.” The icon on the app’s chaotic toolbar already gives you an idea of what it’s about. It’s an RSS/Atom feed client that fetches new posts and generates books on demand or on a predefined schedule. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1804 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/28/OpenSUSE_Planet_News_Roundup_and_Tumbleweed_Review.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/28/OpenSUSE_Planet_News_Roundup_and_Tumbleweed_Review.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ OpenSUSE Planet News Roundup and Tumbleweed Review⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 28, 2026 * ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ Planet_News_Roundup⠀⇛ The community blog feed aggregator lists the featured highlights below from March 13 to March 19. * ⚓ Dominique Leuenberger ☛ Tumbleweed_–_Review_of_the_week_2026/13⠀⇛ Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, After a high-speed run, we hit a wall this week: only two snapshots (0324 and 0326) reached the mirrors. The culprit was a combination of bad timing and a necessary course correction regarding our bootloader defaults. It is now clear that the previous move to grub2-bls was a mistake. We are correcting that decision by switching modern systems to systemd-boot. This transition caused a “weekend blackout” because openQA changes for the new default were deployed last Friday, but the actual distribution changes didn’t land until Sunday. We spent Monday and Tuesday ironing out the resulting kinks, which cost us the weekend snapshots. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1849 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/28/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/28/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 28, 2026 * ⚓ Michael Kohl ☛ Exploring_async_Ruby⠀⇛ During this year’s RubyConf Thailand, I realized that I never seriously played around with the async gem. This library implements an event-driven reactor (via io-event) that provides Ruby developers with structured concurrency primitives built on fibers. I generally learn programming concepts and libraries best by using them, so I decided to write a little example program which we’ll explore in this blog post. * ⚓ Max Bernstein ☛ Using_Perfetto_in_ZJIT⠀⇛ The third thing is that you might ask yourself “self, where are these exits coming from?” Unfortunately, counters cannot tell you that. For that, we want stack traces. This lets us know where in the guest (Ruby) code triggers an exit. Ideally also we would want some notion of time: we would want to know not just where these events happen but also when. Are the exits happening early, at application boot? At warmup? Even during what should be steady state application time? Hard to say. * ⚓ James G ☛ Single-file_web_applications⠀⇛ When I built Amie, an architectural question came to mind: can I build all of this in a single file using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript? The advantage of this approach would be: (i) I wouldn’t need to maintain a back-end (note: the kind of back- end I would want to build for an application storing contacts would involve significant privacy and security planning), and; (ii) a single file would mean that I could share the application with others. All data would be local. * ⚓ EYG ☛ EYG_news:_A_year_of_EYG_development_and_proper_open_source⠀⇛ Experiments in the Eat Your Greens project have been many, varied and to satisfy my own curiosity. I've always been happy to talk about my work and the source code has been available since the beginning. Thus far I had not attached a license to the code. That has changed and to signal that I am open to contributions there are two obvious changes in the repo. [...] * ⚓ Paul_Tagliamonte:_librtlsdr.so_for_fun_and_profit⠀⇛ It’s well known and universally agreed that radios are cool. Among the contested field of coolest radios, Software Defined Radios (SDRs) are definitely the most interesting to me. Out of all of my (entirely too many) SDRs I own, the rtlsdr is still my #1. It’s just good. It’s a great price, extremely capable, reliable, well-supported, and compact. Why bother with anything else? Sure, it can’t transmit, uses a (fairly weird) 8_bit unsigned_integer_IQ_representation, limited sampling rate, limited frequency range – but even with all that, it’s still the radio I will pack first. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Ettus radios, PlutoSDRs, HackRFs, my AirspyHF+ - they’re great! I just always find myself falling back to an rtl-sdr, every time. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Qt ☛ Qt_for_Python_release:_6.11_is_out!⠀⇛ During the past months, most members of the Qt for Python have been working on simplifying the interaction between Python and Qt under the Qt Bridges projects, so our efforts have been focused on that rather than adding more features to Qt for Python. o ⚓ SANS ☛ TeamPCP_Supply_Chain_Campaign:_Update_002_-_Telnyx_PyPI Compromise,_Vect_Ransomware_Mass_Affiliate_Program,_and_First_Named Victim_Claim,_(Fri,_Mar_27th)⠀⇛ This is the second update to the TeamPCP supply chain campaign threat intelligence report, "When_the_Security Scanner_Became_the_Weapon" (v3.0, March 25, 2026).

Normally that’s a pretty straightforward process, but in some cases, we may run into some less straightforward answers. We discussed some of the most common examples of those, and explained how to handle them. In this article, we’re going to go “the other direction,” and talk about using DNSDB to go from an IP address to a FQDN. Again, this is often quite straightforward, but we wanted to make sure that you’re ready for the times when you might end up going through some “chicanes.” * ⚓ DEV Community ☛ Source_code_is_now_a_common_good,_and_SaaS_is_mostly dead⠀⇛ Back in 2023, I wrote a post titled "The upcoming SaaS bubble burst" where I argued that AI would enable individual developers to replicate SaaS products at a fraction of the cost, turning high-margin businesses into commodities. [...] Here's the twist I didn't see coming: GPL exists to ensure software stays free forever.

Exynos-powered Galaxy devices support this feature, and it turns out One UI 8.5 has some welcome upgrades. * ⚓ Linux_Terminal_Finally_Gets_Some_Love_with_One_UI_8.5⠀⇛ Android’s Linux Terminal feature was introduced by Google last year with Android 16. It allows people to run a full Linux system inside a virtual machine on their devices, powered by Android’s Virtualization Framework (AVF) introduced with Android 13. We saw last year that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 was the only Samsung device that supported this feature. Now, Samsung is preparing with One UI 8.5 and Android 16 QPR2 update to bring some new improvements. * ⚓ Android Headlines ☛ Samsung’s_One_UI_8.5_Update_Supercharges_the_Built- in_Linux_Terminal⠀⇛ A new leak reveals Samsung will soon deliver new upgrades to the Linux terminal with its upcoming One UI 8.5. The upgrades include graphical app support, expanded storage access, and usability upgrades. * ⚓ SamMobile ☛ One_UI_8.5_brings_major_Linux_Terminal_upgrades_to_Galaxy devices⠀⇛ It emerged last year that Samsung's flagships may enable users to run the full version of Linux Terminal. Google had already enabled this functionality on Pixel devices and since it was baked into Android, there was a solid chance it would come to Galaxy devices as well. It most certainly did, and the recent updates that Google has made to the Terminal experience are also included in One UI 8.5. * ⚓ Samsung_One_UI_8.5_unlocks_‘desktop-like’_power_with_Linux_GUI_apps⠀⇛ Samsung One UI 8.5 is moving to an Android 16 QPR2 base, and that shift quietly changes what the built-in Linux Terminal can do. What used to feel like a limited shell environment is starting to resemble a stripped-down desktop layer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⡏⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2224 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/28/Season_of_KDE_2026_Report_on_Lokalize_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/28/Season_of_KDE_2026_Report_on_Lokalize_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Season of KDE 2026 Report on Lokalize and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 28, 2026 * ⚓ Season_of_KDE_2026:_Final_Report_-_Standardizing_Lokalize⠀⇛ Eight weeks in and it's time for the Season of KDE wrap-up - somehow survived the university exams, the KXMLGUI docs, and a dead motherboard to get here. For the past couple of months, I've been working on KDE's computer-aided translation tool, Lokalize, under the mentorship of Finley_Watson. What started as a menubar bug turned into XML configs, C++ backends, a bookmark manager, and somehow a new laptop. * ⚓ Weeks_7,_8_&_Extension:_Hardware_Failures_and_Final_MRs⠀⇛ Heading into the final weeks of SoK, things got a bit chaotic. Week 7 was right in the middle of my university exams, so i had to take a planned break from coding. I survived the exams and was geared up for a solid Week 8 sprint to wrap things up, but then my laptop chose violence again. A few weeks back it had already died on me once (the screen went completely dark). I replaced the panel, it came back to life, and i thought we were good. This time it was worse: no screen flicker, no fan spin, nothing. The repair shop confirmed a motherboard failure and told me, “We can look at it… eventually… no promises on timeline.” ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2272 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/28/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/28/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 28, 2026 * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Coruna_iOS_Exploit_Kit_Likely_an_Update_to_Operation Triangulation⠀⇛ Coruna contains the updated version of a kernel exploit used in Operation Triangulation three years ago. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Friday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (389-ds:1.4, gnutls, mysql:8.0, mysql:8.4, nginx, nginx:1.24, opencryptoki, python3, vim, and virt:rhel and virt-devel:rhel), Debian (firefox-esr, ruby-rack, and thunderbird), Fedora (fontforge, headscale, kryoptic, libopenmpt, pyOpenSSL, python- cryptography, rubygem-json, rust-asn1, rust-asn1_derive, rust- cryptoki, rust-cryptoki-sys, rust-wycheproof, vim, and vtk), Oracle (freerdp, golang, mysql:8.0, and ncurses), Red Hat (osbuild-composer), Slackware (libpng and tigervnc), SUSE (chromium, frr, kea, kernel, nghttp2, pgvector, python- deepdiff, python-pyasn1, python-tornado6, python-urllib3, python3, python310, ruby2.5, salt, sqlite3, systemd, tomcat, vim, and xen), and Ubuntu (libcryptx-perl). * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Pro-Iranian_Hacking_Group_Claims_Credit_for_Hack_of_FBI Director_Kash_Patel’s_Personal_Account⠀⇛ The group that it was making available for download emails and other documents from Patel’s account. * ⚓ New York Times ☛ Kash_Patel’s_Emails_Circulate_Online_as_Iran_Takes Responsibility_for_Release⠀⇛ What appeared to be personal emails from before Mr. Patel’s time as director were posted on a website that identified itself as Iranian but seemed to be hosted in Russia. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ CISA_Flags_Critical_PTC_Vulnerability_That_Had_German Police_Mobilized⠀⇛ Police in Germany physically warned organizations about the critical PTC Windchill vulnerability tracked as CVE-2026-4681. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ TP-Link_Patches_High-Severity_Router_Vulnerabilities⠀⇛ The security defects could be used to bypass authentication, execute arbitrary commands, and decrypt configuration files. * ⚓ Industry Dive ☛ Espionage_campaign_targets_telecom_with_stealthy_Linux- based_backdoor⠀⇛ A China-nexus actor has been able to gain long-term access in a bid to gather intel on government agencies and critical infrastructure providers. * ⚓ Codenotary_launches_AgentX_for_Linux_security_automation⠀⇛ Codenotary has launched AgentX, an autonomous platform for managing and securing Linux infrastructure and code.

While a ton of browsers use Google's browser core under the hood, there are a few holdouts like Firefox and its many forks that people can use instead. So, when a browser arrives on Linux and doesn't use Chromium as its base, it's worth a look. This time, the dev team behind the WebKit-based browser Orion has released a public beta for Linux. And while it may not be to every Linux user's taste, it still packs a killer feature that's well worth a look.

assistant is more useful when you can reach it from WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, or a browser dashboard instead of pinning it to one terminal session. o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Mumble_on_Ubuntu_26.04,_24.04_and 22.04⠀⇛ Low-latency voice chat is easier to control when you can choose your own server, tune microphone behavior, and keep identity tied to certificates instead of another closed platform. That makes it worth it to install Mumble on Ubuntu for gaming groups, classrooms, or small teams that prefer self-hosted voice channels. o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Pinta_on_Ubuntu_26.04,_24.04_and 22.04 [Ed: Mono trap]⠀⇛ Quick screenshot markup, simple annotations, and small paint edits are easier when the editor stays out of your way. o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Gemini_CLI_on_Ubuntu_26.04,_24.04 and_22.04⠀⇛ Some terminal agents push you straight into a paid API workflow, but Gemini CLI is unusual because a normal Surveillance Giant Google account can be enough to get started. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_iRedmail_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Running your own mail server gives you full control over your data, your deliverability, and your infrastructure. If you have been relying on third-party services like Surveillance Giant Google Workspace or Zoho Mail, the costs add up fast, and you are always one policy change away from losing access. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Grafana_on_AlmaLinux_10⠀⇛ If you manage GNU/Linux servers and rely on log files and command-line tools to understand what is happening, you already know how time-consuming that gets at scale. Grafana gives you a centralized, browser-based dashboard where you can visualize metrics, set up alerts, and monitor everything from a single pane of glass. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_JasperReports_on_openSUSE⠀⇛ JasperReports Server stands as one of the most powerful open-source business intelligence and reporting platforms available today. This robust Java-based solution enables organizations to create, deploy, and manage pixel-perfect reports with dynamic data visualization capabilities. Whether you’re building analytical dashboards, generating financial statements, or creating operational reports, JasperReports delivers enterprise-grade functionality without licensing costs. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Taiga_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Managing software projects without the right tools leads to missed deadlines, scattered task ownership, and frustrated teams. If your team is still juggling spreadsheets or disconnected chat threads, you need a proper project management platform. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3119 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/28/Ubuntu_Against_Choice_and_Diversity_the_Excuse_Being_Security.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/28/Ubuntu_Against_Choice_and_Diversity_the_Excuse_Being_Security.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ubuntu Against Choice and Diversity, the Excuse Being 'Security'⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 28, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Ubuntu_26.10⦈_ * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Why_Ubuntu_26.10_Might_Drop_ZFS,_RAID_&_Encryption Support⠀⇛ The proposal calls for stripping out filesystem drivers and other features. * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_26.10_could_drop_btrfs,_ZFS_and_LUKS_support_from GRUB⠀⇛ Ubuntu engineers are debating ways to reduce the number of features present in the signed version of GRUB, the boot loader used on systems with Secure Boot enabled.
