The decades-long battle has entered a new phase with the introduction of Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act. This bill follows last spring’s attempt to bury lawful access provisions in Bill C-2, a border measures bill. The latest bill covers the two main aspects of lawful access: law enforcement access to personal information held by communication service providers such as ISPs and wireless providers, and the development of surveillance and monitoring capabilities within Canadian networks. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 303 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/01/Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/01/Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Best Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 01, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇No_signal⦈_ * ⚓ ddcui_-_graphical_user_interface_for_ddcutil_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ ddcui is a graphical user interface for ddcutil, a Linux utility used to control and query monitor settings via the DDC/ CI protocol. It provides a Qt-based desktop application that allows users to adjust display parameters such as brightness, contrast, and colour levels without relying on command-line tools. The application communicates directly with a monitor’s virtual control panel, enabling access to settings typically managed through on-screen display menus. It supports both I2C-based DDC/CI communication and, in some cases, USB-connected displays, offering a more convenient way to manage external monitors from within a graphical environment. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Nautobot_-_flexible_source_of_truth_for_networking_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Nautobot is a network automation platform and source-of-truth system designed to model, manage, and automate network infrastructure.

This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Parler-TTS_-_lightweight_text-to-speech_(TTS)_model_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Parler-TTS is a lightweight text-to-speech model and library for generating high-quality natural-sounding speech from text with controllable voice characteristics. It supports prompting for attributes such as gender, pitch, speaking style, recording quality, and background conditions, and the repository includes both inference code and training tooling so users can run the model or train and fine-tune their own variants. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Moshi_-_speech-text_foundation_model_and_full-duplex_spoken_dialogue framework_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Moshi is a speech-text foundation model and full-duplex spoken dialogue framework. It’s designed for real-time spoken interaction and uses Mimi, a streaming neural audio codec, to handle low-latency audio processing. The project includes multiple inference stacks for different use cases, covering PyTorch for research, MLX for on- device inference on Apple hardware, Rust for production deployments, and a web client used for the live demo. Mimi is a neural audio codec that processes 24 kHz audio, down to a 12.5 Hz representation with a bandwidth of 1.1 kbps, in a fully streaming manner (latency of 80ms, the frame size), yet performs better than existing, non-streaming, codecs like SpeechTokenizer (50 Hz, 4kbps), or SemantiCodec (50 Hz, 1.3kbps). This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Nextcloud_Bookmarks_-_collect_and_organise_bookmarks_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Nextcloud Bookmarks is a bookmark management app for Nextcloud. It gives users a web interface for collecting and organising bookmarks while keeping them inside their own Nextcloud environment and synchronised across devices. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Orpheus-FastAPI_-_high-performance_self-hosted_text-to-speech_server_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Orpheus-FastAPI is a high-performance self-hosted text-to- speech server built with FastAPI. It provides an OpenAI-compatible /v1/audio/speech endpoint together with a modern web interface for generating speech locally. The project is designed to work with external inference servers such as llama.cpp, LM Studio, and GPUStack, and focuses on fast GPU-accelerated synthesis with support for expressive tags, long-form generation, and multilingual voice models. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ unFTP_-_modern_FTP(S)_server_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ unFTP is a modern FTP(S) server designed with cloud-native environments in mind. Built on top of the libunftp library and the Tokio asynchronous runtime, it offers a flexible and extensible approach to running FTP services while integrating with modern infrastructure such as cloud storage, monitoring systems, and container platforms. Unlike traditional FTP servers, unFTP allows developers to customise authentication methods, storage back-ends, and integrations, making it well suited for use in Kubernetes deployments, microservices architectures, and cloud-based workflows. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ gscreenshot_-_screenshot_utility_for_Linux_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ gscreenshot is a screenshot utility for Linux that provides both a graphical interface and command line frontend for multiple screenshot backends. It supports X11 and Wayland environments, automatically detects the available backend tools on the system, and can adapt its functionality based on the installed dependencies. Along with taking full-screen, window, and region screenshots, it can copy captures to the clipboard, open them in the default image viewer, save them in a range of formats, and show notifications after capture. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Software:_March_2026_Updates_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Here’s the newest scoop on our handpicked software recommendations! This month marks another record for us — we’ve published 163 new and updated roundups in the month. But our focus doesn’t end with software; our website is also brimming with informative hardware content. We’re dedicated to showcasing only free and open-source software, highlighting the best offerings from the open-source community. * ⚓ Raspberry_Pi_Imager_-_create_bootable_media_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ It offers an intuitive graphical interface alongside a command- line mode, enabling users to download, select, and write operating system images in just a few steps. The tool also supports advanced pre-configuration options such as setting up WiFi, enabling SSH, and defining system parameters before first boot, making it especially useful for headless deployments and automated setups.

However, in the last decade, Linux gaming has gone from strength to strength thanks to efforts from the open-source community. Now, games using Steam's Proton compatibility layer on Linux are rivaling Windows 11's performance, and it doesn't seem the 'best OS for gaming' is keeping hold of its crown for much longer. A recent benchmark has delved into how several popular titles run on both Windows 11 and CachyOS, a performance-focused Linux distro. While the two put up an excellent fight and looked pretty toe-to-toe across the board, both Cyberpunk 2077 and Space Marine 2 saw some very impressive performance boosts on CachyOS that gamers should take note of.

Rather than requiring software to be installed on the host machine, it runs from removable media and provides immediate access to the GParted partition editor in a dedicated live environment. That makes it especially useful for maintenance, recovery, and system preparation tasks. One of the main advantages of GParted Live is that it lets users work on storage devices while they are offline. This is important because resizing or moving partitions that belong to a running operating system can be difficult, and in some cases impossible, without rebooting into a separate environment. By starting the computer with GParted Live, users can safely create, delete, resize, move, copy, and inspect partitions without interference from the system installed on the disk. The distribution is well suited to a wide range of practical scenarios. It can help prepare a drive for a fresh Linux installation, reclaim unused disk space, reorganise existing partitions, or repair a system that no longer boots correctly. It is also a useful utility for people who maintain multiple operating systems on the same machine and need finer control over how disk space is allocated.

[Nathan Otterness] shows us how it’s done by minifying a Linux “Hello, World!” program to the extreme. A naive attempt at a minimal hello world in C might land you somewhere about 12-15Kb, but [Nathan] can do much better. He starts by writing everything in assembly, using Linux system calls. This initial version without optimization is 383 bytes. The first major thing to go is the section headers; they are not needed to actually run the program. Now he’s down to 173 bytes. And this is without any shenanigans!

Standing up an operator is easy, and going from zero to a deployable operator is extremely fast. However, as operators scale to large production clusters, you may need to understand and tune the caching behavior to manage memory usage effectively. This issue shows up as an out of memory error (OOM), which causes the operator to be restarted.

This release mainly fixes an issue for Windows users: some applications, like Microsoft Windows Powertoys' Fancy Zones or the Google Drive plugin cause problems for Krita. These applications query all running applications for their accessibility abilities. Until Qt6, Qt's QML module, which is used extensively in the new text tool, would then recursively query all active screen objects, like comboboxes or buttons, and up and down the entire class hierarchy for accessibility features. This slowed down Krita to the point where even menus would be slow to open. It was extremely tricky to figure this out, since none of the Krita developers actually use these external applications...

The unknown attacker hijacked the npm account — npm being a package manager for JavaScript — of the lead axios maintainer, and then published malicious versions of axios with remote access trojans to npm. That happened on Sunday night going into Monday morning, cybersecurity firm Huntress said, before the poisoned versions were pulled. * ⚓ Hacker News ☛ Axios_Supply_Chain_Attack_Pushes_Cross-Platform_RAT_via Compromised_npm_Account⠀⇛ * ⚓ Dark Reading ☛ Axios_NPM_Package_Compromised_in_Precision_Attack⠀⇛ The Axios JavaScript NPM package was recently compromised, representing one of the highest impact supply chain attacks against the open source development ecosystem in recent months. Axios is the most popular JavaScript HTTP client library and is downloaded more than 400 million times per month on NPM. Software development security vendor StepSecurity identified and reported yesterday that two malicious versions had been published to NPM: [email protected] and [email protected]. * ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Hackers_compromise_popular_Axios_Javascript_library with_hidden_malware⠀⇛ The widely used Axios HTTP client library, a JavaScript component used by developers, was recently hacked to distribute malware via a compromised account. Attackers exploited a hijacked account on npm, a default package manager for Node.js, a tool that allows developers to share, install and manage Javascript project code to distribute the malicious software. > * ⚓ Step Security ☛ axios_Compromised_on_npm_-_Malicious_Versions_Drop Remote_Access_Trojan_-_StepSecurity⠀⇛ axios is the most popular JavaScript HTTP client library with over 100 million weekly downloads. On March 30, 2026, StepSecurity identified two malicious versions of the widely used axios HTTP client library published to npm: axios@1.14.1 and axios@0.30.4. The malicious versions inject a new dependency, plain-crypto-js@4.2.1, which is never imported anywhere in the axios source code. Its sole purpose is to execute a postinstall script that acts as a cross platform remote access trojan (RAT) dropper, targeting macOS, Windows, and Linux. The dropper contacts a live command and control server and delivers platform specific second stage payloads. After execution, the malware deletes itself and replaces its own package.json with a clean version to evade forensic detection. * ⚓ The Record ☛ Google_links_axios_supply_chain_attack_to_North_Korean group⠀⇛ On Monday evening, news emerged that hackers launched a supply chain attack targeting the HTTP client axios, which is downloaded 100 million times each week and embedded across frontend frameworks, backend services and enterprise applications. Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) joined several other researchers in attributing the attack to a North Korean threat actor they call UNC1069. SentinelOne found the same group using macOS-based malware in attacks dating back to 2023. * ⚓ Cyble Inc ☛ Axios_Supply_Chain_Attack_Exposes_Malicious_Npm_Packages⠀⇛ The attacker altered the account’s registered email to a ProtonMail address and used the npm CLI to publish the compromised packages. This bypassed the cryptographic protection typically enforced by trusted publishing workflows, making the malicious releases appear legitimate at first glance. * ⚓ Simon Willison ☛ Supply_Chain_Attack_on_Axios_Pulls_Malicious Dependency_from_npm⠀⇛ Supply Chain Attack on Axios Pulls Malicious Dependency from npm (via) Useful writeup of today's supply chain attack against Axios, the HTTP client NPM package with 101 million weekly downloads. Versions 1.14.1 and 0.30.4 both included a new dependency called plain-crypto-js which was freshly published malware, stealing credentials and installing a remote access trojan (RAT). * ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ npm’s_Defaults_Are_Bad⠀⇛ Yesterday the axios package was compromised on npm. An attacker hijacked a maintainer account, published two malicious versions that bundled a remote access trojan through a staged dependency called plain-crypto-js, and the versions were live for two to three hours before npm pulled them. Axios gets 83 million weekly downloads.

It’s called Euro-Office. As the name suggests, it is a European effort and is primarily meant for European organizations and governments. Before you get too excited, let me clarify that it is not your typical office suite like LibreOffice that you install on desktop systems. It is designed more for providing collaborative document portals for organizations. In other words, it’s an online office suite that can be deployed within an organization and accessed via the web. It can also be integrated into other products, like Nextcloud to provide document editing capabilities. The project has been initiated by Nextcloud and IONOS. Nextcloud is a well-known open source collaboration platform, and IONOS is primarily a server infrastructure provider. Read_on Direct: * ⚓ Euro-Office_·_GitHub⠀⇛ Euro-Office is open source and developed in public by a community of individuals and organizations. We welcome contributions from anyone, including individuals, companies, public organizations and non-profits. We encourage anyone who cares about free and open source, modern office technology to get involved! Our goal is to have as few barriers as possible to contribution. Also: * ⚓ LibreOffice_vs_ONLYOFFICE_-_Which_One_Is_Right_For_You?⠀⇛ When it comes to open-source office suites, we're not short on options, despite what it may seem at first glance. Yet, without a doubt, two names stand head and shoulders above all others. LibreOffice and ONLYOFFICE sit unchallenged as the most popular office solutions built and distributed on open principles. Both are solid in their own rights, and both have loyal communities that swear by them and no others. But between the two, which one is right for you? In this article, we'll have a closer look at both office suites, with a friendly comparison of their strengths and weaknesses and what makes them truly unique, especially compared to each other. By the end, you'll be better equipped to choose which one you'd prefer, if you so desire. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1670 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/01/OpenBSD_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/01/OpenBSD_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ OpenBSD Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 01, 2026 * ⚓ TuMFatig ☛ OpenBSD_7.8_on_Raspberry_Pi_Zero_2W⠀⇛ Whether I used the USB/ETH hat or not, the system seem to halt after some time idling.

Alex Pugh, an analyst at Freetrade, commented: "What's interesting is the business is starting to look broader and more industrial.

Generally such filament dryers use hot air to accomplish this task over the course of a few hours, but this is not very efficient for a number of reasons. Increasing the vaporization rate of water without significantly more power use should namely be quite straightforward. The key here is the vapor pressure of a liquid, specifically the point at which it begins to transition between its liquid and gaseous phases, also known as the boiling point. This point is defined by both temperature and atmospheric pressure, with either factor being adjustable. In a pressure cooker this principle is for example used to increase the boiling temperature of water, while for our drying purposes we can instead reduce the pressure in order to lower the boiling point. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ SomnoSphere_is_an_intelligent_bedside_lamp_that_helps_you sleep_better⠀⇛ Ferus-Comelo built SomnoSphere around an Arduino® UNO™ Q.

That’s backwards and doesn’t consider the here and now while risking the long-term health of a project. Governance is what enables a project to grow safely. Without it, the loudest voice wins every contested decision, and community trust erodes each time that happens. As the Open Organization Leaders Manual frames it: open leaders don’t hoard decision-making authority — they distribute it. That distribution, made explicit and predictable, is governance. MkDocs provides us with a wonderful example of what happens to a project when governance models aren’t applied. The project has had many leaders, but no decision-making framework to support those leaders at any given moment. The project is pretty much completely stalled due to contention between prolific committers and the project’s creator. Your job in the OSPO or as an open source leader isn’t to impose a model on every project you touch. It’s to understand which model, or combination of models, a project could use, and what that means for how you or your organization contributes, escalates, and builds relationships over time. The projects that last are not usually the ones with the most committers or the most funding. They’re the ones with governance clear enough that contributors from all walks of life know how to participate, and community members know the outcome is fair even when they disagree with it. Clear governance is how open source projects outlive their founders, survive controversy, and continue to earn the trust of a world that depends on them.

[Nathan Otterness] shows us how it’s done by minifying a Linux “Hello, World!” program to the extreme. * ⚓ Chris ☛ The_MVC_Mistake⠀⇛ No, they do not. This is the mvc mistake all over again. Those layers represent boundaries between technologies, not logical concerns. We can tell by trying to add a feature to this system; then we will have to go into every single layer to make the corresponding change. That is an integration of concerns, the polar opposite of separation of concerns! * ⚓ Jake Lazaroff ☛ Building_More_Resilient_Local-First_Software_with atproto⠀⇛ Most local-first software focuses almost exclusively on the first two. I’m certainly guilty of it. In my article about building a local-first travel app, I claimed that the open source sync engine I used wasn’t a critical dependency because you could run your own version if mine went down. * ⚓ Andy Wingo ☛ wastrelly_wabbits⠀⇛ Good day!

We processed $248 billion in transaction volume in 2025 on $650 million in annualized revenue, and are, at the time of writing, in the process of obtaining a national bank charter in the USA from the OCC. We have around 1,500 employees. Our engineering organization largely hires generalists, and most of them have never written a line of Haskell before joining. My time working at Mercury has changed how I think about the language more than any sermon about purity ever did. Elegance is pleasant, but keeping your business alive is compulsory. Our codebase is roughly 2 million lines of Haskell, once you strip out comments and such. This is the part where you are supposed to recoil in horror. * ⚓ Alex & Manu ☛ why_i_stopped_using_fancy_dev_tools_and_became_more productive⠀⇛ i spent hours, maybe days, tweaking my development environment. i’d read blog posts about “ultimate vim config” or “vscode extensions you need in 2025” and immediately install everything. my dotfiles repo had over 5000 commits. i had keybindings for everything. i could navigate my terminal blindfolded. but i wasn’t more productive. i was actually less productive. * ⚓ [Old] Zach Manson ☛ notes:_web_development⠀⇛ Web development is an exercise in distributed execution of program, where some parts of your program execute in a (mostly) trusted environment on the server and some execute on a untrusted environment on the client. Almost all problems in web development can be derived from this breakdown, and the limitations of each of these environments. * ⚓ Leo Robinovitch ☛ I_Made_a_Terminal_Pager⠀⇛ Most programs on developer machines use less as a fallback pager if PAGER isn’t set. If you want everything to be dumped to your terminal directly, set your PAGER environment variable to cat. Other options include bat, most, and delta. There are special paging environment variables as well, for example, setting GIT_PAGER specifically for git output, or BAT_PAGER for paging within bat after it performs syntax highlighting. * ⚓ Chris Maiorana ☛ Let_the_commits_tell_the_story⠀⇛ Both sets of commits represent the same amount of work. The only difference is the two minutes it took to write a real commit message instead of a placeholder. There’s been a lot of discussion in recent years about what to name your branches, which can be anything you want. However, has anyone taken a hard look at some of the hard-coded git terminology, like the word “commit”? In my Git For Writers handbook, I compared commits to “save states” or “snapshots.” I’d always felt the word “commit” sounded too permanent and fixed, but that’s not the case at all. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Rakulang ☛ Rakudo_Weekly_2026.13_Release_#191⠀⇛ On behalf of the Rakudo development team, I’m happy to announce the March 2026 release of Rakudo #191. Rakudo is an implementation of the Raku1 language. The source tarball for this release is available from https:// rakudo.org/files/rakudo. Pre-compiled archives will be available shortly. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ Zach Manson ☛ notes:_grep_timer⠀⇛ Grep can be used as a timer, and can be blocking. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Miguel Young de la Sota ☛ Breaking_the_Warranty_with_go: linkname⠀⇛ Now, this is a huge problem, because in the former variant, there is no requirement that the victim package consents to having its symbol table rummaged in. Go only addressed this in Go 1.23, where now, for standard library packages only, only symbols explicitly opted into linkname can be used like this by non-standard library packages. The upshot is phew, we solved this problem, why am I writing about it. o ⚓ Hister ☛ Hister⠀⇛ If you need fast, content-based retrieval of large amounts of documents, your best option is to use a full- text indexer. Popular solutions like Elasticsearch and Meilisearch are more than capable of getting the job done. But what if you don’t want to depend on an external service, or if you need a higher level of control over how your data is stored and searched? Luckily, Go has an excellent library for exactly this purpose: Bleve. Bleve lets you quickly index any Go struct with sensible defaults and a built-in Google-like query language. Or you can go further and build your own query language and customize every single detail of the indexer. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2147 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/01/Proprietary_Fake_Linux_Windows_Against_GNU_Linux_and_Microsoft_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/01/Proprietary_Fake_Linux_Windows_Against_GNU_Linux_and_Microsoft_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Proprietary Fake 'Linux' (Windows) Against GNU/Linux and Microsoft Sells Back Doors as "Sovereign Cloud" or "Sovereignty"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 01, 2026 * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ This_is_the_one_Windows_feature_that_convinced_me_I_don’t need_Linux [Ed: Showing how Microsoft is using WSL as a weapon against Linux]⠀⇛ I’ve tried to make Linux my daily OS, but I keep coming back to Windows.

They objected specifically to Dr Garrett’s having made contact with their internet service provider and other web hosts in an attempt to have the publications taken down, to the obtaining of their postal and online contact details, to the threatening tone of solicitors’ correspondence, to the conduct of the disclosure process, to the conduct by the same firm of solicitors of a second set of proceedings against them which Dr and Mrs Schestowitz had unsuccessfully sought to have consolidated with Dr Garrett’s claim, and to a reference made in formal documentation to a previous name of Mrs Schestowitz, a matter to which she took extremely strong exception. They felt, in short, that they had been ‘harassed’ by this litigation.⦈ =============================================================================== Image source: Time_On_Big_Ben ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠁⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠄⠄⢀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣇⠆⠀⠻⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠨⠀⠄⠨⠨⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠂⠂⠘⠀⠂⠁⠈⠀⠁⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠁⡅⠌⠿⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠄⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⡤⠤⠤⠄⠀⠤⠤⠀⣂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⢩⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡰⢡⠌⠦⠁⠄⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⢕⠀⡇⠀⣀⠀⡀⡠⠔⠊⣁⠤⡔⣖⡂⠀⣴⣲⣒⠤⠉⠐⢄⠀⠘⠂⢸⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡳⣜⢸⢡⠁⠄⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⡟⠀⠀⡠⠋⢀⠔⠌⢂⠧⣑⣶⠁⢠⣥⣖⣊⠁⡀⣽⡢⡈⢄⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣆⣬⣷⡜⢸⢀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⡪⠀⡇⢀⠞⢀⢜⡱⡩⣪⣄⠜⢿⠟⠁⠈⠛⢻⢫⣾⣮⡘⠕⡨⢂⢣⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠇⠃⠀⠹⢦⡘⠠⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠂⠀⢧⠎⢠⠈⠀⠊⣾⣿⠋⣦⣶⣿⡇⢸⣿⣷⣦⡉⠿⢋⣀⢔⡬⢆⢣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⢖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠄⠀⡾⠀⢯⣓⢢⣿⡆⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⠇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⢻⣿⡜⠹⠼⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⢘⢠⠀⠀⠃⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠁⠀⡇⢸⡐⠐⠸⠿⠃⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣋⣉⡁⠈⢉⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢆⣾⡌⡆⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⢰⣂⠀⢤⣤⡄⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣽⣿⢣⣸⢻⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢺⡿⢳⠃⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⡠⠀⢷⠘⡔⡚⡸⠟⠁⠘⢿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⠟⣄⡈⠉⠆⢓⢆⢃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⡇⠸⢸⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠊⠀⠈⢆⠱⠃⠀⠀⣴⣿⡔⠙⢻⠿⠄⠾⠛⢋⠁⣾⡿⡋⢢⢀⢄⠂⢰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠟⣇⢸⡟⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢦⠑⢜⠥⣂⢝⠀⢰⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⠿⢆⠈⠊⢎⠕⠁⠁⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢧⠇⢸⢱⠀⠀⢈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⠀⡑⠥⢁⠨⢅⣆⡂⠂⠂⡄⠭⢖⠡⠀⠕⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠐⡾⡈⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢁⣒⡒⣂⠒⠣⠭⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡆⠺⢁⠇⠀⡄⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⣀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠤⠠⠠⠤⠀⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢦⠀⠘⠀⠀⠃⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠐⠂⠂⠀⠀⠁⠉⠁⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢩⡳⣶⣀⡼⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢮⡻⣤⡀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢮⡂⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⠰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣧⣰⣻⣿⣿⣿⣟⣼⣹⣏⣈⣩⣿⣉⣿⣱⣿⣮⣫⣉⣩⣭⢏⣿⣿⣖⣭⣿⣭⣽⣽⣿⣭⣈⣍⣿⣔⣉⣝⣩⣋⣩⣍⣫⣽⣽⣟⣁⣝⣍⣿⣭⣩⣿⣿⣿⣯⣍⣉⣍⣉⣫⣩⣹⣿⣭⣽⣽⣿⣉⣩⣿⣿⣯⣯⣫⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⡿⣿⣿⠿⢟⠿⠛⠛⠛⢿⠟⠛⠛⠻⣿⡿⠿⣿⠟⢻⠋⠛⢻⠛⠛⠟⠛⠛⣿⡟⠛⣟⣛⠙⠛⠋⢻⠹⡙⣟⠏⠛⠛⡟⣿⢿⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠋⣿⠛⠻⠛⢻⠙⠛⣛⢻⡿⡛⡟⠻⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⢿⢿⢻⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⡛⠿⢷⣿⣟⠿⠿⣗⢿⠿⢿⢿⣿⢻⣿⡿⢻⠛⡻⡿⢿⣿⡟⣻⣿⢿⡿⠻⠿⠿⡟⠻⢿⣻⡛⠿⡿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣻⢻⢿⠓⣺⣿⣟⡿⠿⡿⠿⣿⠿⢻⡟⢿⣿⣟⢟⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠳⡷⣶⡶⣶⠷⡶⠶⡾⠶⡶⡾⣿⡷⡶⣶⡶⡶⣷⢾⢾⣶⠾⠿⢷⢾⢶⡾⡶⣶⣾⣷⠿⠿⡞⠾⢶⣶⣶⣳⡶⣶⣾⡶⡶⣿⣿⣿⢾⡾⠾⢿⣷⡷⣶⣷⠖⢷⠾⢶⠶⡷⣶⢶⠷⣷⡷⠶⡗⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣷⣽⣾⣾⣿⣾⠚⠚⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠚⠛⠛⠚⠛⠘⠚⠓⠓⠓⠛⠛⠛⠛⠓⠂⠐⠓⠒⠚⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠚⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠒⠚⠓⠛⠛⠛⠚⠛⠊⠓⠓⠛⠛⠓⠊⠛⠓⠛⠚⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⠤⠴⠶⠾⠿⠿⠿⠿⠖⠾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣽⢭⣻⣟⣃⡁⣻⢽⠭⡯⣿⣏⢙⢽⢽⡧⢘⡏⣿⢉⣽⣯⢝⣿⢿⣯⣿⠿⣏⢩⡭⣯⢭⢛⣿⣽⣩⣻⣯⡯⣿⠩⣽⣙⢙⣿⡯⡫⣯⣽⣙⢍⣿⣉⡅⠁⢹⡯⠈⣹⠯⣿⠈⢉⣫⠹⣝⢍⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣟⣛⢟⣝⣟⣟⡛⣻⡿⣿⣻⣻⣻⣿⣻⣿⣟⣿⣻⣛⣻⠿⣟⢙⡏⡻⣛⢛⢻⣿⣻⠟⢛⡟⣟⠛⡛⠛⠛⢻⠛⣻⠙⠻⢛⣻⣿⣻⣻⣛⣛⢙⣽⣟⠛⢛⢟⣛⡛⣟⢻⢿⣻⣻⢏⢟⡛⢟⣻⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⡿⣿⣿⠿⠻⠿⠟⠿⠻⠿⢿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⢿⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢻⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⠿⡿⢿⠾⣿⣿⡿⠻⠿⢿⡟⢿⣿⠿⢿⣿⢿⣿⡿⠻⠿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠻⠿⢿⣿⡿⢿⣿⡿⠟⣻⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣶⣿⣶⣶⢶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣽⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣾⣶⣶⡾⣷⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⢶⢶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣷⡶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣷⣾⣷⣶⢾⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣽⡿⣿⣿⢾⣷⣶⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⢯⣿⣭⣯⣭⣤⣬⣿⢬⣤⣬⣧⣧⣠⣤⡤⢤⡤⣥⣽⣼⣿⣭⢾⣥⣤⣾⣽⣵⣯⡭⣭⣽⣽⣵⣼⣯⣷⣼⣮⣿⣤⡥⣤⣼⣽⣧⣾⣱⣥⣥⣥⣦⣬⢽⣤⣼⣿⣿⡼⡯⣬⣬⡬⣬⣬⣼⣯⣫⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣵⣯⣵⣷⣾⣾⣷⣤⣶⣾⣷⣥⣿⣵⣥⣬⣦⣬⣦⣦⣯⣾⣿⣼⣧⣵⣵⣯⣤⣥⣿⣵⣿⣷⣥⣿⣾⣶⣵⣷⣵⣵⣦⣞⣼⣼⣼⣔⣼⣧⣧⣾⣷⣬⣾⣾⣽⣤⣦⣤⣵⣮⣿⣧⣼⣧⣶⣵⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣫⣯⣽⣯⣞⣅⣉⣭⣯⣝⣛⣿⣍⣽⣨⣉⣁⣿⣿⣽⣉⣝⣍⣭⣏⣝⣈⣁⣮⣻⣯⣯⣿⣯⣯⣯⣯⣯⣿⣨⣉⣩⣩⣟⣍⣍⣩⣫⣿⣈⣈⣯⣽⣽⣯⣙⣭⣯⣿⣰⣉⣿⣱⣯⣯⣙⣍⣽⣏⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠻⠿⡟⠛⢿⠟⠛⠋⣿⣿⣻⠛⣿⡟⣿⢻⡟⣿⡿⡟⣿⣟⠻⣿⡟⣿⠛⢻⣿⠟⡛⠛⠛⢹⣿⣿⡿⡿⣿⣿⠛⣿⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⢻⡟⣿⣿⡟⠛⣻⠟⠛⣻⡟⠻⢟⡻⢻⡟⠋⣽⡽⢽⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠿⡟⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⡿⡿⠿⢿⡟⠿⢿⠻⣿⠿⢿⠿⢿⡿⡿⣿⠿⣿⡿⡿⢻⡿⠿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⡿⢿⢿⣿⡿⠿⣿⡿⡿⣿⠿⠿⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⢿⠿⢻⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠺⠶⢶⠟⢿⠿⢶⠻⢿⠟⡶⡷⡶⠶⣶⡶⣾⡶⢾⢿⠷⣶⣞⡖⠿⢾⠗⠗⢶⡖⠲⢳⠿⠷⢶⠶⢶⣾⣮⣿⣿⣿⣾⣶⣴⣷⣿⣷⣷⣴⣶⣷⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣮⣿⣾⣶⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣷⣶⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣿⣾⣶⣾⣷⣿⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣾⣾⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣶⣶⣷⣷⣶⣯⣶⣶⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2391 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/01/Slimbook_Creative_Linux_laptop_packs_RTX_5070_Thunderbolt_4_and.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/01/Slimbook_Creative_Linux_laptop_packs_RTX_5070_Thunderbolt_4_and.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Slimbook Creative Linux laptop packs RTX 5070, Thunderbolt 4 and 99 Wh battery into 1.9 kg chassis⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 01, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Slimbook_Creative_15⦈_ Quoting: Slimbook Creative Linux laptop packs RTX 5070, Thunderbolt 4 and 99 Wh battery into 1.9 kg chassis — The Slimbook Creative Linux notebook returns, and the new edition promises even better performance thanks to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 in a lighter chassis.

We have also drafted policy documents and presented them to committees. We have documented the consequences of public documents being readable only by software developed in a single country, managed by a single company and subject to the laws of a different jurisdiction, as well as the commercial decisions of a board of directors. The French gendarmerie, the Austrian Ministry of Defence and the German state of Schleswig-Holstein – to name but a few examples – have taken action, alongside regions, provinces and cities across Europe. We have always been here, and not with a product to sell, but with the knowledge, patience and sincere conviction that public institutions belong to the public, and that this also applies to their digital infrastructure.

C.J._Collier:_Finding:_Promoting_SeaBIOS_Cloud_Images_to_UEFI_Secure Boot_(Proxmox)⠀⇛ * ⚓ TecMint ☛ df_Command_in_Linux:_Disk_Space,_Inodes_&_Real_Fixes⠀⇛ The ‘df‘ command stands for “disk filesystem“, it is used to get a full summary of available and used disk space usage of the file system on the Linux system. * ⚓ APNIC ☛ The_potential_of_erroneous_outbound_traffic⠀⇛ In this post, we highlight research that shows erroneous outbound traffic (traffic initiated by internal hosts that elicit no response) is a powerful and underused signal for uncovering silent anomalies. By focusing only on this narrow slice of traffic, we show how operators can unveil long- standing misconfigurations, stale deployments, and even signs of compromise that would otherwise remain hidden. * ⚓ Muxup ☛ Minipost:_Routing_a_Linux_user's_traffic_through_a_WireGuard interface⠀⇛ Simple goal: take advantage of my home router's WireGuard support and have one of my external servers connect using this, and pass all traffic from a certain user through that interface. * ⚓ CSS Tricks ☛ Abusing_Customizable_Selects_|_CSS-Tricks⠀⇛ Web browsers ship new features all the time, but what fun is it if we can’t build silly and fun things with them? In this article, let’s go over a few demos that I’ve made by using the new customizable
