users who want to improve their typing skills from the command line. * ⚓ Hacker Noon ☛ Advanced_Process_Manager_for_Linux_Earns_a_49.5_Proof_of Usefulness_Score_|_HackerNoon⠀⇛ Advanced Process Manager for Linux (APM) is a lightweight tool designed to run, supervise, and monitor applications from a single static binary. Today, we are interviewing Thomas Webb, the creator behind Advanced Process Manager for Linux, to learn more about how this tool simplifies production service management without heavy dependencies. * ⚓ Linux Links ☛ Change_of_Platform_Coming_Soon_to_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ We’re thrilled to announce a bold new direction for the future of our computing life. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 247 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/02/CentOS_March_2026_News_Only_Slop_Promotion_at_Red_Hat_Fedora_Pr.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/02/CentOS_March_2026_News_Only_Slop_Promotion_at_Red_Hat_Fedora_Pr.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ CentOS March 2026 News, Only Slop Promotion at Red Hat, Fedora Promoting Back-doored Boot⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 02, 2026 * ⚓ CentOS ☛ CentOS_March_2026_News⠀⇛ The Board approved the creation of the Accelerated Infrastructure Enablement SIG. More information is in the SIG reports below. The RDO project has recently announced a move from RPMs to releasing Source 2 Image releases in the future due to a lack of resources. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Why_customers_are_choosing_Red_Hat_AI_for_real business_outcomes [Ed: Only slop promotion in Red Hat's site yesterday]⠀⇛ From where I sit—leading strategy and operations for AI Platform Core Components (AIPCC), an engineering function within Red Hat’s AI Engineering organization—that shift changes everything. The conversation moves from a tooling decision to an operating model decision. A strong AI platform is the foundation that helps teams ship AI-enabled capabilities on schedule, operate them reliably, and do it in a way that aligns with governance, enterprise risk, and long-term cost control. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_Hey_Hi_(AI)_tops_MLPerf_Inference_v6.0_with vLLM_on_Qwen3-VL,_Whisper,_and_GPT-OSS-120B⠀⇛ Red Hat is proud to announce our strong results from the latest industry-standard MLPerf Inference v6.0 benchmark. Our submission includes four Hey Hi (AI) workloads (Whisper-Large- v3, GPT-OSS-120B, Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B, and Llama-2-70b) on NVIDIA (H200, B200, L40S) and AMD (MI350X) GPUs, running on Red Bait Enterprise GNU/Linux (RHEL) and Red Bait OpenShift Hey Hi (AI) with our open source inference stack: vLLM, and llm-d. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_AI_tops_MLPerf_Inference_v6.0_with_vLLM_on Qwen3-VL,_Whisper,_and_GPT-OSS-120B⠀⇛ 8x H200 offline: 36,396 tokens per second, the leading H200 result, 13% faster than the next closest submission                                              * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Faster_AI/ML_container_startup_with_additional_storage_in_Red Bait_OpenShift_4.22⠀⇛ When running artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ ML) workloads on Red Bait OpenShift, container startup time matters. Image pull operations can account for the majority of container startup time, and with multi-gigabyte model images becoming the norm, that translates to minutes of waiting before a container can serve its first request. Large OCI artifacts like machine learning models are also forced onto the same root file system as everything else, consuming space and preventing the use of faster dedicated storage. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Unsloth_and_Training_Hub:_Lightning-fast_LoRA_and_QLoRA_fine- tuning⠀⇛ Fine-tuning large language models in enterprise environments requires both algorithmic innovation and production-grade execution. Even the most advanced post-training methods fall short if teams struggle with distributed systems, infrastructure complexity, or framework glue code. Training Hub bridges that gap by turning cutting-edge training techniques into scalable, enterprise-ready workflows. ✐ What is Training Hub⠀✐ Training Hub is an open source, algorithm-centered Python library for LLM post-training, maintained by Red Hat's Hey Hi (AI) Innovation team. Rather than forcing teams to discover, learn, and wire together a growing collection of independent training libraries, each with its own Hey Hi (AI) setup, and inevitable quirks, Training Hub provides a single interface with each post-training algorithm exposed as a simple Python function. Each algorithm maps to a production-tested backend implementation. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Get_raw_device_mapping_(RDM)_disks_with_OpenShift Virtualization⠀⇛ Raw_device_mapping (RDM) volumes are a VMWare feature that allows LUNs from a SAN_array to attach directly to a virtual machine (VM). The ESXi host connects and manages LUNs, when configured as Raw Device Mapping (RDM) devices. Then these devices are presented to virtual machines through a minimal virtualization layer. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Blast_radius_validation:_Large_and_small_Red_Bait_OpenShift nodes⠀⇛ As Red Bait OpenShift and Kubernetes platforms scale to support higher virtual machine (VM) density and unified VM and containerized workloads, cluster and node sizing becomes a critical architectural decision. A frequent concern is the risk of node failure, and an assumption that larger core-count nodes are subject to a larger "blast radius" — the operational impact when a node fails during planned maintenance or unplanned outages. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Bootable_containers:_Reduce_friction_with_Red_Bait_Enterprise GNU/Linux_image_mode⠀⇛ Building applications is fast. Deploying them into heavily regulated production environments is not. Industry reports, such as the 2025_Stack_Overflow_Developer Survey, show that local environments like backdoored Windows Subsystem for GNU/Linux (WSL) and upstream community GNU/Linux distributions enable quick coding for GNU/Linux Developers. The initial development stage moves quickly on these accessible platforms. * ⚓ Jeremy_Cline:_Fedora's_aarch64_images_support_Secure_Boot⠀⇛ About seven years ago, a_ticket_was_filed noting aarch64 systems were shipping with Secure Boot enabled, and that Fedora should start signing its boot path to support these devices out of the box. I’m pleased to say that today’s Fedora Rawhide images - what will be Fedora 45 - finally does this thanks to the work of a whole bunch of people. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Implement_a_multicluster_event_exporter_for_enterprise automation⠀⇛ Red_Hat_Advanced_Cluster_Management_for_Kubernetes provides multicluster management capabilities for Kubernetes environments. Within Red Bait Advanced Cluster Management, a multicluster_global_hub extends management to a fleet-of- fleets scale, managing multiple hubs from a single control plane, providing unified inventory, policy compliance, and cluster lifecycle visibility across thousands of clusters. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Beyond_guesswork:_Generating_accurate_ingress_firewall_rules with_oc_commatrix⠀⇛ Every Red Bait OpenShift admin has been there. You open a spreadsheet someone last touched six months ago, squint at a row that says "port 8080 openshift-network-operator" and wonder: Is this still the full picture? Spoiler alert — it almost never is. Firewall misconfiguration remains one of the top causes of post-installation failures in OpenShift. And the root cause isn't carelessness. It's that clusters are living systems. Operators get installed, services spin up NodePorts, pods claim host ports, custom MachineConfigPools appear. The static documentation you wrote on day one starts drifting on day two. That's the problem OpenShift Commatrix CLI was built to solve. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 444 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/02/Content_Management_Systems_CMS_Sveltia_EmDash_and_WordPress.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/02/Content_Management_Systems_CMS_Sveltia_EmDash_and_WordPress.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Content Management Systems (CMS): Sveltia, EmDash, and WordPress⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 02, 2026 ⚓ Thibault_Martin:_TIL_that_Sveltia_is_a_good_CMS_for_Astro⠀⇛ This website is built with the static site generator Astro. All my content is written in markdown and uploaded to a git repository. Once the content is merged into the main branch, Clownflare deploys it publicly. The process to publish involves: [...] * ⚓ Joost de Valk ☛ EmDash:_a_CMS_built_for_2026⠀⇛ EmDash is the most interesting thing to happen to content management in years. Not because it’s built on Astro (though it is), but because it’s the first CMS designed from the ground up for how we work in 2026: AI agents building sites, structured content that machines can parse and manipulate easily, and deployment at the edge. * ⚓ Alex & Manu ☛ my_take_on_cloudflares_emdash⠀⇛ in EmDash, plugins run in isolated sandboxes called Dynamic Workers. they can’t just hook into everything like WordPress plugins do. instead, plugins declare what they need in a manifest: capabilities like “read:content” or “email:send.” the plugin can only do what it says it’s going to do. * ⚓ Remkus de Vries ☛ WordPress_Page_Builders_and_Performance_(The_Brutal Truth)⠀⇛ Page builders promise speed, but usually not the kind that matters most. They promise faster development, faster editing, and faster iteration. They make it easier to launch pages without waiting on a developer. They give marketers, designers, and site owners more control over layout and presentation. That convenience is real, and pretending otherwise would be dishonest. But there is a difference between development speed and site speed. A page builder can absolutely help your team move faster while making the finished site slower. And that tradeoff gets overlooked far too often. This is not a hit piece.

Now I am happy to present 7 million EPS (events per second). Timing the announcement to April 1 is not a coincidence :-) While the 650k EPS measurement was true, it was misleading. This value was measured right after syslog-ng 3.2 introduced multi-threading, in lab environment, under optimal circumstances, using synthetic log messages. However, there was no fine print explaining this, just the statement that syslog- ng could process 650k EPS. It was fixed after a while, but it took years to recover from the effects of this marketing campaign, and engineers ten years later still had a nervous breakdown when someone mentioned “650k”. Why? Because from that moment, everyone expected syslog-ng to collect logs at that message rate in a production environment with complex configurations.

This is really big news for its self-developed computer OS as it opens more opportunities for developers. On April 1, Huawei introduced a tool called the Converged Development Engine in the HarmonyOS PC AppGallery. It is in the preview zone with the 1.0.0.17 version. The best part of this tool is that it allows Huawei HarmonyOS PC to run Linux-based tools, services, and applications directly, without the use of any complex tech. Currently, the Converged Development Engine is open for developers so they can explore it well and try running “Linux environments” on the HarmonyOS PC. Linux environments refer to a customized, functional workspace based on the Linux operating system. It includes tools, the home screen interface, and the OS. Other features for users count GNOME, KDE, and a command-line setup for servers.

He provided some "war stories" where security incident handling had benefited from collaboration and others where it was hampered by its lack. SunSecCon was held in conjunction with SCALE 23x in Pasadena in early March. He began with a premise that attackers, which he sometimes referred to as "hackers", collaborate, ""they share tools, they share knowledge""; beyond that, they may share access to some of the members of their teams with others. On the other side, for defenders, things are different: ""As effective as we are at the individual or team level, we're often victims of these organizational silos that trap us into not being able to collaborate well with each other."" Specifically, ""think of security versus software teams, product versus enterprise, blue team versus red team"". The boundaries can be rigid: ""if you're on the enterprise team and touch the scope of the product team, watch out"". * § Kernel Space / File Systems / Virtualization⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ Development_tools:_Sashiko,_b4_review,_and_API specification⠀⇛ The kernel project has a unique approach to tooling that avoids many commonly used development systems that do not fit the community's scale and ways of working. Another way of looking at the situation is that the kernel project has often under-invested in tooling, and sometimes seems bent on doing things the hard way. In recent times, though, the amount of effort that has gone into development tools for the kernel has increased, with some interesting results. Recent developments in this area include the Sashiko code-review system, a patch- review manager built into b4, and a new attempt at a framework for the specification and verification of kernel APIs. o ⚓ LWN ☛ More_efficient_removal_of_pages_from_the_direct_map_ [LWN.net]⠀⇛ The kernel's direct map provides code running in kernel mode with direct access to all physical memory installed in the system — on 64-bit systems, at least. It obviously makes life easier for kernel developers, but the direct map also brings some problems of its own, most of which are security-related. Interest in removing at least some pages from the direct map has been simmering for years; a couple of patch sets under discussion show some use cases for memory that has been removed from the direct map, and how such memory might be efficiently managed. The good thing about the direct map is that it gives the kernel easy access to all of the system's installed memory. That is also the bad thing about the direct map, of course. When all of memory is accessible, it becomes a target for attackers. A stray pointer might be pressed into service to corrupt data anywhere in the system (though technologies like supervisor mode access prevention can help). Directly mapped memory is also susceptible to speculative-execution attacks, which can be employed to exfiltrate information from the kernel or from an unrelated process or virtual machine. o ⚓ LWN ☛ Tracking_when_BPF_programs_may_sleep_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ BPF programs can run in both sleepable and non-sleepable (atomic) contexts. Currently, sleepable BPF programs are not allowed to enter an atomic context. Puranjay Mohan has a new patch set that changes that. The patch set would let BPF programs called in sleepable contexts temporarily acquire locks that cause the programs to transition to an atomic context. BPF maintainer Alexei Starovoitov objected to parts of the implementation, however, so acceptance of the patch depends on whether Mohan is willing and able to straighten it out. In an atomic context, kernel code is not allowed to do anything that would delay the continued execution of the kernel, such as waiting for block I/O or faulting a page back into memory. It is usually up to the kernel programmer (assisted by the kernel's various forms of instrumentation) to make sure that they don't accidentally call a function that can sleep in such a context. BPF programs were originally only capable of running in atomic contexts, and were therefore never allowed to call functions that could sleep. In 2020, the BPF verifier was extended to handle BPF programs that could sleep (by marking the entire program with a special flag), but such programs were not permitted to call many of the existing BPF interfaces, which assumed they could transition to an atomic context. * § Licensing / Community⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ A_PHP_license_change_is_imminent_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ PHP's licensing has been a source of confusion for some time. The project is, currently, using two licenses that cover different parts of the code base: PHP v3.01 for the bulk of the code and Zend v2.0 for code in the Zend directory. Much has changed since the project settled on those licenses in 2006, and the need for custom licensing seems to have passed. An effort to simplify PHP's licensing, led by Ben Ramsey, is underway; if successful, the existing licenses will be deprecated and replaced by the BSD three-clause license. The PHP community is now voting on the license update RFC through April 4, 2026. In its early days, the PHP project changed its licensing with some frequency: between 1995 and 2006, PHP changed licenses or modified the terms of its custom licenses seven times. Initially, PHP was distributed under the GPLv2. Then PHP 3, released in 1998, was shipped under a dual-license scheme; it was available under the GPLv2 and a new PHP License based on the Apache License 1.0. o ⚓ LWN ☛ A_truce_in_the_Manjaro_governance_struggle_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Members of the Manjaro Linux distribution's community have published a "Manjaro 2.0 Manifesto" that contains a list of complaints and a demand to restructure the project to provide a clear separation between the community and Manjaro as a company. The manifesto asserts that the project's leadership is not acting in the best interests of the community, which has caused developers to leave and innovation to stagnate. It also demands a handover of the Manjaro trademark and other assets to a to-be-formed nonprofit association. The responses on the Manjaro forum showed widespread support for the manifesto; Philip Müller, project lead and CEO of the Manjaro company, largely stayed out of the discussion. However, he surfaced on March 19 to say he was ""open to serious discussions"", but only after a nonprofit had actually been set up. Manjaro is based on Arch Linux; the idea behind the distribution is to provide a user-friendly version of Arch that is focused on stability. Manjaro provides additional tools for system maintenance, and has its own software repositories. The distribution uses a rolling- release model, with three branches (stable, testing, and unstable) for users to choose from. It began as an installer for Arch Linux, created by Müller, Guillaume Benoit, and Roland Singer, which was first announced in 2011 on the Arch forum and operated as a volunteer-driven project. As the project became more popular, it began taking donations for server costs and other ""special activities"" in 2013. The first stable release, Version 15.09 ("Bellatrix"), was announced in September 2015. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⡿⠛⣛⠛⢿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⢀⡙⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣟⡉⠉⢙⣿⣿⡇⢠⡄⠀⠙⣶⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⢰⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⠁⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠗⠞⠛⢿⣿⣿⣏⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡶⣘⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⣽⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⢠⣾⣿⡄⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠁⠉⣽⣶⣶⣶⣤⣤⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⢀⠀⣀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣩⣥⡤⠂⣁⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣄⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣧⣾⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡿⠛⣁⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣷⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⢃⣶⣶⣶⡹⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⢿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠙⣛⣥⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣬⣛⣛⣩⣶⣶⣍⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠻⠇⠈⢿⡷⠙⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⢿⣿⣿⡟⣡⣶⣿⢟⣓⣒⠢⡉⢻⣿⣷⣜⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠸⣿⠏⣸⣿⡿⢱⣿⠛⢻⣷⠹⡄⢻⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣆⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠻⠿⠆⠸⠏⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1840 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/02/LibreLocal_Events_Coming_Up_in_Auckland_Oviedo_and_Livermore.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/02/LibreLocal_Events_Coming_Up_in_Auckland_Oviedo_and_Livermore.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ LibreLocal Events Coming Up in Auckland, Oviedo, and Livermore⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 02, 2026 * ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_Events:_LibreLocal_meetup_in_Auckland,_New_Zealand⠀⇛ May 9, 2026 at 11:00 NZDT * ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_Events:_LibreLocal_meetup_in_Oviedo,_Asturias,_Spain⠀⇛ May 5, 2026 at 19:00 CEST * ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_Events:_LibreLocal_meetup_in_Oviedo,_Asturias,_Spain⠀⇛ May 12, 2026 at 19:00 CEST * ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_Events:_LibreLocal_meetup_in_Oviedo,_Asturias,_Spain⠀⇛ May 19, 2026 at 19:00 CEST * ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_Events:_LibreLocal_meetup_in_Livermore,_California,_United States⠀⇛ May 17, 2026 at 12:00 PDT ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1888 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/02/Linux_updates_were_painfully_slow_until_I_switched_one_setting.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/02/Linux_updates_were_painfully_slow_until_I_switched_one_setting.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Linux updates were painfully slow until I switched one setting⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 02, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇update_manager⦈_ Quoting: Linux updates were painfully slow until I switched one setting — There’s a very specific kind of irritation (if anyone's interested, I call it penguin-rage) that comes from watching a Linux update crawl.

Streaming, downloads, Docker pulls, all fine. But the moment I ran apt update followed by apt upgrade. Everything slowed to a polite, almost passive-aggressive pace. Like Linux was saying, “We’ll get there … eventually.” And for the longest time, I just accepted it. Because updates are supposed to take time, right? Spoiler warning: No, they’re not.

I’m one of the developers for GIMP. If you use GIMP, you might be familiar with my work adding support for Seattle Filmworks photos, along with other, less important features and fixes. We like to emphasize that GIMP is made by the community. That’s why we try to spotlight areas of interests by our developers, designers, and artists - such as Bruno Lopes’ work on Snap packaging, Fredrik Persson’s art for the GIMP 3.0 splash screen and interviews with Mitch, Michael, Simon, and Øyvind. Today, I’ll add to this illustrious group by sharing a bit about my own area of interest that I’ll be focusing on for the next version of GIMP! The first big project I worked on when I started contributing to GIMP was related to color models. Images can be stored and represented in lots of different ways. The most common mode for many people is RGB, where each color is made up of a combination of red, green, and blue values. You can also represent colors with a single color component, often in Grayscale. Another frequently seen mode is indexed, where you limit the total number of colors to a specific palette (this model is often used in games and pixel art).

While Broadcom refuses to open up its Wi-Fi drivers for use, Mediatek and Qualcomm are still supporting open source developers (but in differing ways), and several manufacturers are using reskinned versions of OpenWrt for their routers. And really, I should know this. I first used OpenWrt on a Linksys WRT54G fifteen years ago, and I've used it on multiple routers with Atheros-based chipsets since. GL.iNet uses a reskinned OpenWrt on its travel routers, and I have several that I absolutely love. And with DD-WRT and its derivatives all but disappearing as chipset support dwindles, OpenWrt is almost the only way to rescue an old router from becoming e-waste. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ OpenWrt’s_latest_update_adds_a_piece_of_Alpine_Linux⠀⇛ The popular open-source firmware for routers and other networking equipment, OpenWrt, just released a new major update. OpenWrt 25.12 is now available after “over one year” of development, with new features and more supported devices. If you’ve never used it, OpenWrt is an alternative firmware for wireless routers, access points, network switches, and other embedded devices, powered by the Linux kernel. It can be an excellent option for reviving and repurposing old networking hardware, or just a way to turn a Raspberry Pi or regular PC into a high-end router. * ⚓ Heise ☛ OpenWrt:_Version_25.12.0_brings_package_manager_change⠀⇛ The OpenWrt project has released version 25.12.0 of its open- source router firmware. Particularly noteworthy are the numerous supported devices and the switch to a new package management system. In the release notes, OpenWrt provides an overview of the changes. The developers highlight that upgrading from OpenWrt 24.10 to 25.12 is supported by the sysupgrade tool in many cases, which attempts to migrate the configuration. Nevertheless, those wishing to upgrade should back up their configuration beforehand, advise the OpenWrt programmers. The developers have worked on OpenWrt 25.12.0 for over a year, with more than 4700 source code commits since version 24.10. The codename “Dave's Guitar” is intended to honor Dave Täht, who passed away in April 2025. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2133 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/02/OBS_Studio_32_1_1_Is_Out_to_Improve_the_Audio_Mixer_and_Audio_D.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/02/OBS_Studio_32_1_1_Is_Out_to_Improve_the_Audio_Mixer_and_Audio_D.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ OBS Studio 32.1.1 Is Out to Improve the Audio Mixer and Audio Deduplication⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Apr 02, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇OBS_Studio_32.1.1⦈_ Coming about three weeks after OBS Studio 32.1, the OBS Studio 32.1.1 release is here to improve the new audio mixer by fixing the missing tooltips, the missing toolbar actions, incorrect colors, an issue with the minimum width being too large, sorting weight for global and pinned sources, and disabled sources.

It’s also launched a new version of the Pi 4 with 3GB RAM to sweeten the bad news, albeit somewhat. This is the second price rise announced for Raspberry Pi in recent months. The RRP of Raspberry Pi boards were bumped in February, seeing up to $20 aded to the cost of Raspberry Pi 5 boards compared to their original price. The Price increases this time around? A LOT more dramatic. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Raspberry_Pi_Introduces_3GB_Pi_4_Amid_Price_Increases⠀⇛ The Raspberry Pi Foundation has announced a new 3GB variant of the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, priced at $83.75, alongside a set of price increases affecting multiple products across its lineup. The changes are attributed to a sharp rise in LPDDR4 memory costs, which the company reports have increased seven- fold over the past year. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Raspberry_Pi_CM5_TV_Stick_Lite_Adapts_Compute_Module_5 for_HDMI_Dongle_Use⠀⇛ A compact carrier board referred to as the Raspberry Pi CM5 TV Stick Lite adapts the Compute Module 5 into a plug-in HDMI form factor. The design allows the module to connect directly to a display while requiring only USB-C power. The board targets portable or embedded use cases where minimizing cabling is a priority. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Digi_IX25_–_A_rugged_5G_RedCap/eMBB_industrial_cellular router⠀⇛ Digi International Digi IX25 is a rugged, industrial 5G cellular router designed for critical and enterprise applications. Built around a 1.2 GHz quad-core Cortex-A53 processor, this router combines cellular networking, edge computing, remote management, and secure connectivity into a single device, simplifying deployment across utilities, oil & gas, transportation, kiosks, ATMs, and digital signage. The platform comes in multiple variants, including 5G eMBB (Enhanced Mobile Broadband), 5G RedCap (Reduced Capability), and LTE-only, with some models supporting Wi-Fi 6E and others not. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Telink_TL3228_–_Low-power,_low-latency_dual-core_RISC- V_wireless_MCU_supports_Bluetooth_6.0,_802.15.4,_and_2.4_GHz proprietary⠀⇛ Telink has launched the TL322x wireless MCU family, starting with the TL3228, featuring a 192 MHz dual-core RISC-V MCU, and supporting Bluetooth 6.0, Matter, Thread, Zigbee, RF4CE, and proprietary 2.4GHz protocols for Smart Home, asset tracking, “8K” gaming accessories, and more The chip supports the recent Bluetooth features such as Channel Sounding, AoA/AoD, and LE Audio, as well as the company’s proprietary HDT technology delivering up to 6 Mbps data rate and ultra-low latency. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Raspberry_Pi_4_3GB_launched_for_$83.75,_further_price increases_announced_across_the_board_for_4GB+_RAM_hardware⠀⇛ This may sound like an April Fool’s joke, but the Raspberry Pi 4 with 3GB RAM is real and now offered for $83.75. Raspberry Pi also announced another round of price increase for Raspberry Pi 4/5/CM4/CM5 due to a “seven-fold increase over the last year in the price of [the] LPDDR4 DRAM“. As far as I know, 3GB LPDDR4 chips do NOT exist or are very rare, so the new SBC likely relies on the Raspberry Pi 4 dual RAM PCB variant introduced last month, and features two 1.5GB LPDDR4 chips for a total of 3GB of RAM. Apart from the memory capacity, nothing else changes. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ SomnoSphere_is_an_intelligent_bedside_lamp_that_helps_you sleep_better⠀⇛ According to a Gallup survey from 2024, 57% of Americans say they would feel better if they got more sleep. And though some countries are better in that regard, lack of satisfying sleep is a problem everywhere. * ⚓ Hackster ☛ Getting_Started_with_AMD_EDF_on_Kria_KV260⠀⇛ This project walks through the workflow of using AMD's new EDF tools for embedded Linux development on the Kria KV260 Vision AI Starter Kit. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2313 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/02/Open_Hardware_Modding_Weekly_GNU_like_Mobile_Linux_Update_and_R.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/02/Open_Hardware_Modding_Weekly_GNU_like_Mobile_Linux_Update_and_R.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: Weekly GNU-like Mobile Linux Update and Raspberry Pi Prices Rise Again⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 02, 2026 * ⚓ Linux On Mobile ☛ 2026-03-29_[Older]_Weekly_GNU-like_Mobile_Linux Update_(13/2026):_Spring_Cleaning⠀⇛ * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Raspberry_Pi_prices_rise_again,_along_with_a_new_3GB Raspberry_Pi_4_announced_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Raspberry Pi have revealed even more price rises for their hardware, as the AI surge continues and it may be a tough pill to swallow.

RAII matters because after you acquire a resource, things might go south. A function might need to return early, or it might throw. Making sure resources are released is cumbersome, and the cleanest way to achieve it is to wrap both acquisition and release in an object that handles this automatically. But what if the release itself is not successful? * ⚓ Graham Sutherland ☛ Watch_out_for_missed_warnings_on_vendor_C++ toolchains⠀⇛ I figure we’re overdue a security post on here, so here’s a quick one. I was recently reviewing some embedded C++ for a lesser-used architecture. There is GCC support for the architecture, but the developers of the thing I was looking at utilise a vendor SDK which only compiles properly with the vendor’s own toolchain. It’s a security-sensitive thing so they turned up their compiler warnings and promoted them to errors, with something along the lines of: [...] * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-03-29_[Older]_March_articles_on_beautiful_Perl features⠀⇛ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-03-29_[Older]_PerlOnJava_Gets_a_CPAN_Client⠀⇛ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-03-28_[Older]_Lingua::*_-_From_17_to_61_Languages: Resurrecting_and_Modernizing_PetaMem's_Number_Conversion_Suite⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2456 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/02/Recent_Videos_Shows_About_GNU_Linux.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/02/Recent_Videos_Shows_About_GNU_Linux.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Recent Videos/Shows About GNU/ Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 02, 2026 * ⚓ 2026-03-30_[Older]_Fuzzel_Is_A_Run_Launcher_For_Wayland_Desktops⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-03-30_[Older]_Unboxing_a_Steam_Link_and_Steam_Controller_in_2026⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-03-29_[Older]_Debian_Linux_Elections_Fascinate_Me⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-03-29_[Older]_Linux_Desktops_Matter⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-03-29_[Older]_The_Linux_Age_Verification_situation_is_escalating_& other_Linux_Weekly_News⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-03-29_[Older]_System76_Thelio_Mira_(2026)_Review:_The_Best_Linux Desktop_You_Can_Buy?⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-03-28_[Older]_Valve_Is_Making_Some_Big_Changes_To_Steam_On_Linux⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-03-28_[Older]_I_Spoke_To_The_Dev_Behind_The_Systemd_Birth_Date Change⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-03-28_[Older]_Create_Beautiful_Websites_With_Hugo⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-03-28_[Older]_River_Is_Doing_What_Everyone_Said_Was_Impossible_On Wayland⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-03-27_[Older]_Linux_troubleshooting_strategies_every_sysadmin needs⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-03-27_[Older]_Yazi:_A_Terminal-Based_File_Manager_That’s_Actually Useful⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-03-27_[Older]_The_Best_Keyboard_for_Linux_Sysadmins?_System76 Launch_Keyboard_Review⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-03-27_[Older]_Ranking_Linux_desktop_environments_for_2026_!⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-03-27_[Older]_Installation_and_First_Look_at_LinuxHub_Prime⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-03-27_[Older]_How_to_Learn_Linux_Faster:_5_Proven_Tips⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-03-26_[Older]_Alacritty:_A_GPU-Accelerated_Terminal_for_Linux⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-03-26_[Older]_KDE_Plasma_6.6_First_Look_–_9_Insane_Features_You NEED_to_See_(Don’t_Miss_#3)⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-03-26_[Older]_New_Linux_+_Android_phone,_Photoshop_on_Linux, Cosmic_updates_-_Linux_Weekly_News⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-03-24_[Older]_🔴_Building_a_"Linus-Proof"_Distro⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2542 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/02/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/02/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 02, 2026 * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Wednesday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (freerdp, libxslt, python3.11, and python3.12), Debian (libpng1.6, lxd, netty, and python-tornado), Fedora (chunkah, cpp-httplib, firefox, freerdp, gst-devtools, gst-editing-services, gstreamer1, gstreamer1-doc, gstreamer1-plugin-libav, gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free, gstreamer1-plugins-base, gstreamer1-plugins-good, gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-free, gstreamer1-rtsp-server, gstreamer1-vaapi, insight, python- gstreamer1, python3.14, rust, rust-cargo-rpmstatus, rust-cargo- vendor-filterer, rust-resctl-bench, rust-scx_layered, rust- scx_rustland, rust-scx_rusty, and xen), Mageia (freeipmi, python-openssl, python-ply, ruby-rack, vim, and zlib), Oracle (firefox, freerdp, kernel, libpng, thunderbird, uek-kernel, and virt:ol and virt-devel:ol), Red Hat (golang), SUSE (bind, expat, fetchmail, ffmpeg-7, freerdp, gsl, incus, kernel, libjavamapscript, libjxl, libpng16-16, libpolkit-agent-1-0-127, net-snmp, net-tools, openexr, perl-XML-Parser, python-ldap, python-pyasn1, python-PyJWT, python311-requests, tailscale, thunderbird, tinyproxy, and ucode-intel), and Ubuntu (golang- golang-x-net-dev and ruby2.3, ruby2.5, ruby2.7, ruby3.0, ruby3.2, ruby3.3). * ⚓ SANS ☛ TeamPCP_Supply_Chain_Campaign:_Update_005_-_First_Confirmed Victim_Disclosure,_Post-Compromise_Cloud_Enumeration_Documented,_and Axios_Attribution_Narrows,_(Wed,_Apr_1st)⠀⇛ This is the fifth update to the TeamPCP supply chain campaign threat intelligence report, "When_the_Security_Scanner_Became the_Weapon" (v3.0, March 25, 2026).

howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 02, 2026 * ⚓ Sean Conner ☛ I'm_giving_up_on_the_Brazilian_SYN_attacks⠀⇛ For the past few months I've been slowly building up a list of Brazilian networks to block, and if the theory of why it's happening is true, then it's going to be a long slog of banning Brazilian networks for, if not months, then years (with a reported 21,000+ ISPs in Brazil … yeah). Just yesterday, I ended up blocking somewhere around 10 networks before I stopped and asked myself, Myself, how did I get here? * ⚓ Alvaro Montoro ☛ CSS_in_City⠀⇛ This city is built with CSS. No SVG. No images. No HTML. Just gradients... and a bit of patience. * ⚓ Vinay Keerthi ☛ I_Traced_My_Traffic_Through_a_Home_Tailscale_Exit Node⠀⇛ Before getting into routing, I want to cover how Tailscale connects devices in the first place. I’ve been comparing it to a VPN, but Tailscale is really a mesh network with a control plane on top of WireGuard. * ⚓ GonzaloR ☛ Plakar_on_OpenBSD⠀⇛ Plakar is really cool and easy going to use, on OpenBSD has some limitations (for now, I am taking care of bothering op@ enough to fix them all), specially on the concurrency and the amount of open files, for example backup your full home or a big large directory can lead to some issues (this is fine on Loonix), for example crashing the plakar agent. Again, this is taking care of closely, so should be fix soon. What we can do with Plakar? A lot, specially backup to a different places and technologies, for example S3, Dropbox, iCloud among others, those are called integrations and they have plenty. We are gonna focus now on the basic one, and how a normal backup flow will look from a local directory to an external disk on my OpenBSD machine. * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ lsof_Command_in_Linux:_List_Open_Files_and_Network Connections⠀⇛ The lsof command lists every open file, socket, and network connection on a GNU/Linux system. This guide covers how to find what is using a port, trace open files by process or user, and recover disk space from deleted but held-open files. * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ lsof_Cheatsheet⠀⇛ Quick reference for finding open files, processes, ports, and deleted files with lsof in Linux * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_DirectAdmin_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Managing a web server without a control panel means handling every config file by hand. That gets slow fast. DirectAdmin is a lightweight, fast, and reliable hosting control panel that simplifies managing websites, email, DNS, and databases from a clean browser interface. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_NRPE_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS⠀⇛ If you manage GNU/Linux servers without centralized monitoring, you are flying blind. A single undetected disk filling up or a runaway process can bring down a production environment before you even notice. NRPE (Nagios Remote Plugin Executor) solves this problem by giving your Nagios server eyes and ears on every remote host in your infrastructure. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_OpenVPN_on_openSUSE⠀⇛ Running a self-hosted VPN is one of the most practical things a sysadmin can do. It keeps remote traffic encrypted, secures inter-office connections, and gives you full control over who connects to your infrastructure. If you want to install OpenVPN on openSUSE, you are in the right place. * ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ How_to_Use_Tmux_Terminal_Multiplexer_on_Ubuntu_26.04⠀⇛ * ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ How_to_Install_and_Configure_Git_on_Ubuntu_26.04⠀⇛ * ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_MariaDB_on_Fedora_Linux⠀⇛ Fedora 43 ships two MariaDB branches in its own repositories, so you can install MariaDB on Fedora and move straight into hardening and your first database login without adding a third- party repo. * ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Composer_on_Fedora_Linux⠀⇛ PHP projects drift fast when each machine resolves a different dependency tree. You can install Composer on Fedora from the official repositories or with the upstream installer, then use it to lock package versions, pull dependencies from Packagist, and keep deployments predictable. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3372 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/02/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/02/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 02, 2026 * § Server⠀➾ o ⚓ Android Authority ☛ Here’s_why_I’ve_installed_a_Dead_Man's_Switch on_my_home_server⠀⇛ Recently, I had to guide my family through the complexities of my SMB-grade internet setup — a system that, much to their frustration, has no traditional “off” switch. That experience led to a stark realization: if I were to become suddenly unresponsive, my family would be effectively locked out of a decade of photos, financial records, and essential services. To solve this, I decided to install a dead man’s switch on my home server using an open-source tool called Aeterna. * § Graphics Stack⠀➾ o ⚓ Dave Airlie ☛ Dave_Airlie:_drm_subsystem_contributor_numbers⠀⇛ I'm doing a podcast recording this week, so I wanted to run some numbers so I could have some facts rather than feels. It turns out my feels were off by a factor of 3 or so. If asked, I've always said the contributor count to the drm subsystem is probably in the 100 or so developers per release cycle. Did the simplest: git log --format='%aN' v6.14..v6.15 drivers/gpu/drm/ include/uapi/drm/ include/drm/ | sort -u | wc -l * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ SWHID_and_pURL⠀⇛ pURL and SWHID are both software identifiers with similarities, but they are fundamentally different. pURL is assigned by a registry. SWHID is derived from the code itself. They are not competitors — they complement each other. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ ZDNet ☛ No_internet?_This_'survival_computer'_has_everything_you need_offline_-_including_AI⠀⇛ Imagine that you've landed in some sort of post- apocalyptic, dystopian future. In that future, it's not necessarily the strong that will survive, but rather those with access to information. Information could wind up being the most sought-after commodity, the difference between survival and, well, not. But how do you gain access to information? You might not have a network connection, which means no internet. And that means no search engine or AI. o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ Miod Vallat ☛ OpenBSD_on_Motorola_88000_processors⠀⇛ Did you notice a new name in the To: line of one of the previous emails? This is because, a few days before, out of the blue, Paul Weissmann had pointed me to Kenji Aoyama's work on porting OpenBSD to the Luna-88K! o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ Closing_Out_a_Roughly_8-Year_Era⠀⇛ The Leap 15 journey began it journey on May 25, 2018, when 15.0 was released as a fresh community build on top of SUSE Linux Enterprise 15. It brought a huge variety of new software along with a easy migration to SLE, transactional updates, server roles, scalable cloud images, and more. o § Arch Family⠀➾ # ⚓ You’re_probably_ready_for_Arch_Linux._Here’s_how_to_tell⠀⇛ If you're new to Linux, you might have heard Linux experts talking about how good Arch Linux is. You might be wondering if you're ready to go beyond your first "beginner" distro and learn a distro that will teach you how Linux actually works. Here are some ways to tell you're ready to take the next step. o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Ben_Hutchings:_FOSS_activity_in_March_2026⠀⇛ # ⚓ The New Stack ☛ Sparky_Linux_9_brings_a_rolling_release_to Debian⠀⇛ You might also be surprised that there are Debian- based rolling release distributions. That’s right, the “Mother of all distributions” has inspired a few itself, which is a bit counter to the ethos of a distribution that prides itself on rigorous testing and a slower release cycle. And yet, there are Debian-based rolling release distributions, such as Sparky Linux. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_quietly_raises_its_minimum_system requirements⠀⇛ You’ll need at least 6GB of RAM to run Ubuntu 26.04 LTS comfortably, as the upcoming version of the distro raises its minimum memory requirement for the first time since 2019. According to the official specs, “Ubuntu Desktop 26.04 LTS requires a 2 GHz dual-core processor or better, a minimum of 6GB RAM and 25 GB of free hard drive space.“ CPU and storage requirements stay unchanged. Ubuntu last bumped its recommended processor requirements with the release of 17.10, when it also dropped support for 32-bit Intel/AMD CPUs. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 3554 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 34 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
