I saw a report_that_I_did_not_click, but it upset me anyway and it reminded me of morbidly cruel people in this planet; they'd even kill/incapacitate_puppies. Today began as a cloudy day, so I wrote some articles and 6+ articles later left the house to go to Town; in the afternoon I had two sun sessions with the birds (getting some tan and feeding them). I then tidied up the house and triaged things like food. Another week comes to an end and we're less than a fortnight away from May. Time flies when you're having fun. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Master_of_San_Miniato

question_before⠀⇛ Habits are powerful. In this case, 30+ years of habit, stuck in muscle memory. Every time I needed something, I went through the same slow-motion ritual. Click menu, hover category, squint, scroll, miss it, and try again like I’m playing Where’s Waldo: GTK Edition on a bad day. This whole “app grid” thing? It’s a fossil. A polished, modern-looking fossil, sure, but still built on the idea that I should browse my computer like it’s a supermarket aisle. And the mental tax is real. * ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ Sniffnet_Released_1.5.0_with_Per_App/Program_Network Monitoring⠀⇛ Sniffnet, the popular free open-source network traffic monitoring software, released new 1.5.0 version few days ago. The new version of this lightweight Rust-based packet analyzer introduced per app or program based network traffic monitoring. * ⚓ ZDNet ☛ Can_this_$70_Linux_app_make_up_for_the_lack_of_Photoshop?_I tried_it_to_find_out⠀⇛ I installed Fogpanther on Pop!_OS to see what the skinny is on this new app. At first blush, I was impressed. Whoever designed the UI made some good choices. It's clean, doesn't overwhelm the user with a bajillion tool choices in the GUI, and seems fairly stable for an alpha release. The creators of Fogpanther call their new tool a professional image editor, which is built entirely for the open-source operating system (sorry, MacOS and Windows users). This new editor will include features like layer-based editing, layer groups, layer masks, embedded objects, non-destructive adjustment layers for curves, color grading, blend modes, and embedded fonts, PSD file support, and CMYK color management with ICC profile support. ⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⢀⡀⢀⢀⣀⡀⣀⡀⣀⡀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣬⣿⣄⣻⣄⣥ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⣒⡂⣒⡂⣒⣒⣒⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠤⢶⢍⢴⡤⢴⢐⠐⣄⡀⡲⠒⡀⠀⡀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡯⠬⠬⢬⠭⠅⠬⠥⠽⠅⠙⠅⠨⠬⠭⠉⠁⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⠭⠭⠨⠭⠅⠨⠍⠭⠤⠤⠭⠩⠉⠭⠈⠍⠠⠍⠥⠭⠍⠁⠈⠁⠉⠉⠁⠉⠉⠉⠈⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⠤⠀⠤⠤⠤⠀⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠀⠤⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⠀⠭⠥⠍⠭⠭⠍⢩⠭⠭⠭⠤⠉⠅⠁⠈⠉⠈⠈⠉⠉⠉⠁⠉⠁⠉⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢠⠠⠤⡀⠀⠤⡀⢀⣻⢟⠈⢛⡀⣀⢠⣄⡤⡀⣠⡄⠀⣤⣤⣀⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⣂⢘⢘⢐⡂⠀⣙⣂⢐⣒⢒⣀⣐⡂⣒⡐⣒⣒⣂⢒⣂⣂⢒⣒⡒⣀⡓⣓⣒⣒⣂⡀⣀⣀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⣒⢐⢐⣒⣂⠂⣐⣂⣐⣒⣒⡂⣒⣂⣒⡒⣒⡒⣂⣒⣒⢒⣒⣒⣒⣐⠂⠒⠒⠒⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⣒⢐⢐⣒⣒⠀⢒⠀⣒⣒⣒⢐⣒⢒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⡒⣒⣂⣒⣒⣒⢐⣒⣒⡒⣒⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⣖⢐⢐⣒⣖⠀⢒⠐⣓⠈⡒⣒⡂⣒⣒⠒⣒⢐⢐⣒⣒⣒⠀⢲⣒⣖⣒⣶⡂⢐⣒⢂⣒⣒⣒⠲⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠔⠰⠂⠒⠣⠀⠀⠴⠄⠀⠅⠈⠠⠩⠈⠤⠀⠲⠂⠄⠥⠅⠠⠨⠗⠉⠰⠿⠣⠬⠍⠀⠁⠈⣉⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⠥⠨⠅⠥⠭⠁⠠⠭⠥⠭⠍⠭⠭⠭⠩⠭⠥⠬⠭⠌⠭⠬⠍⠭⠭⠩⠭⠭⠭⠌⠭⠯⠅⠬⠭⠥⠌⢉⠉⠽⠡⠮⠁⠁⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⠭⠨⠅⠭⠭⠀⠭⠭⠥⠭⠅⠭⠭⠭⠨⠭⠭⠭⠭⠅⠭⠭⠅⠭⠭⠨⠭⠭⠭⠅⠭⠭⠬⠭⠭⠭⠅⠩⠭⠩⠥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⠭⠨⠅⠭⠭⠀⠬⠭⠭⠭⠅⠭⠭⠭⠨⠭⠭⠭⠭⠅⠭⠭⠅⠭⠭⠬⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠅⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⣭⠄⠨⠁⠭⠥⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⠭⠨⠅⠭⢍⠀⠈⣍⠉⠈⠡⠭⡩⡅⠬⠭⠭⠩⠭⢡⡍⠭⠥⠭⠩⠉⣭⠭⠭⠉⡭⠥⠍⠩⠭⠍⢭⡭⠁⠨⠍⠨⠭⢤⡤⠀⠤⠄⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⡇⠘⠃⠈⠕⠀⠀⠒⡂⠐⠒⠺⢒⠗⠚⠷⠄⠘⡗⠐⠗⠐⠒⠚⠂⠒⡒⠚⡓⠐⠗⠊⠒⠐⠟⠒⡝⠒⠀⠛⠛⠈⠕⠓⢒⠂⠈⠾⠘⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣐⣒⠒⠒⢒⣒⠂⠀⣒⣒⡒⣒⣒⣒⣂⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⢀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠸⠿⢀⣒⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 397 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/17/Audiocasts_Shows_BSD_Now_Django_Chat_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/17/Audiocasts_Shows_BSD_Now_Django_Chat_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Audiocasts/Shows: BSD Now, Django Chat, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 17, 2026 * ⚓ APNIC ☛ [Podcast]_IP_networking_in_deep_space⠀⇛ Marc Blanchet discusses modelling the delay of a deep space IP stack using Linux virtual network methods, and the suitability of QUIC as a transport for applications in space. * ⚓ The Ask Noah Show ☛ Ask_Noah_Show_Episode_487:_Ask_Noah_Show_487⠀⇛ This week Noah and Steve talk about the difference between MCP and skills and why it matters! * ⚓ Sacha Chua ☛ YE16:_Sacha_and_Prot_talk_Emacs⠀⇛ In this livestream, I showed Prot what I've been doing since our last conversation about Emacs configuration and livestreaming. * ⚓ The BSD Now Podcast ☛ BSD_Now_659:_Full_traffic_send⠀⇛ Wayland setting back Linux, Dr Callahan's semi retirement, holding onto your hardware, PF queues breaking the 4gbps barrier, and more... * ⚓ Jake Howard ☛ Django_Tasks_-_Django_Chat_#200⠀⇛ I was invited to an episode of Django Chat, to chat about Django Tasks, the Security Team and much more. * ⚓ Graham Cluley ☛ Smashing_Security_podcast_#463:_This_AI_company_leaked its_own_code._It’s_also_built_something_terrifying⠀⇛ Meanwhile, Anthropic accidentally leaked the source code for Claude Code via a basic packaging mistake.

The first of those will appear in curl 8.20.0 in April. * ⚓ Stefan Eissing ☛ curl_dns_2026,_part_II,_options⠀⇛ As you probably know, curl and libcurl is available on many platforms with capabilities that vary greatly. This also applies to DNS resolution. One configures at build time what mechanism to use. That might require additional libraries like c-ares. Not enough flexibility? You can also at runtime tell curl to use DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH). Let’s visit the options to get an overview of their capabilities: [...] * ⚓ Stefan Eissing ☛ curl_dns_2026,_part_III,_async⠀⇛ Out of all the DNS options I described in part II, the most compatible and most deployed one is getaddrinfo(). * ⚓ Stefan Eissing ☛ curl_dns_2026,_part_IV,_threads⠀⇛ With curl 8.20.0 we add a thread pool for the resolver. The pool is owned by a multi handle and used for all easy handles processed by this multi. There is a single socketpair at the multi used for notification by the threads, no matter how many easy handles are there. * ⚓ Kyle Reddoch ☛ Secure_Browsers_Push_Zero_Trust_Past_the_Login_Screen⠀⇛ Modern work happens in the browser. That is where people live now. SaaS apps, admin portals, cloud dashboards, documentation, finance tools, support platforms, and AI tools all run through that one surface. So if zero trust is supposed to be about reducing implicit trust and making decisions based on context, then it cannot stop once the user gets signed in. Even NIST’s zero trust architecture guidance frames zero trust around protecting resources, not just networks, and makes it clear that trust should not be handed out simply because a user or device made it through an initial gate. That is why I think secure browsers deserve a lot more attention than they usually get. * ⚓ GreyCoder ☛ Ad_Blocker_Comparison:_AdGuard_vs_AdGuard_DNS_vs_Nord Threat_Protection_vs_Proton_NetShield⠀⇛ You can add a good browser extension (uBlock Origin) if you want fine‑grained browser control. * ⚓ Don Marti ☛ Updating_assumptions_for_blogging_in_2026⠀⇛ First, I used to assume that if the RSS feed is valid, the links are good.

I found a JSON dataset of Koala records for twenty years to 2014 in Noosa Shire in Queensland, downloaded it, and renamed the file to NoosaShireKoalaRecordsto2014.json. I then loaded the raw data into the line local variable from which I parsed the JSON into the ^koala global variable. Note that ZYDECODE expects the top level of line to be the count of lines that make up the JSON file, which is one less than i, since the last value of i corresponds to when YottaDB encountered the end-of-file. * ⚓ Miguel Grinberg ☛ SQLAlchemy_2_In_Practice_-_Chapter_5_-_Advanced_Many- To-Many_Relationships⠀⇛ This is the fifth chapter of my SQLAlchemy 2 in Practice book.

Since he was "close to running out of fingers and toes," he'd decided that instead of 3.20, he'd use 4.0 for the next release. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ New_Linux_Kernel_Rules_Put_The_Onus_On_Humans_For_AI_Tool Usage⠀⇛ It’s fair to say that the topic of so-called ‘AI coding assistants’ is somewhat controversial. With arguments against them ranging from code quality to copyright issues, there are many valid reasons to be at least hesitant about accepting their output in a project, especially one as massive as the Linux kernel. With a recent update to the Linux kernel documentation the use of these tools has now been formalized. * ⚓ FUDZilla ☛ Linux_7.0_lands_with_less_drama_than_the_number_suggests⠀⇛ Linux 7.0 has dropped, and Linux fanboys are rushing to Reddit to claim it is a big deal.

It was an incredibly productive experience, and I’m glad I had the opportunity to attend. * ⚓ FSet ☛ Modern_Common_Lisp_with_FSet⠀⇛ This book has two intended audiences. The larger one is Common Lisp programmers, or people who at least have been learning the language, who want to explore the benefits of modern functional collections. There’s a second audience, however, I also hope to reach, consisting not of people who expect to use Common Lisp or FSet, but rather designers of other languages and/or libraries for those languages. I refer such readers to the chapters Conceptual Background and Recommendations for Language Designers; the other chapters will still be worth reading, I think, but of less importance. For those who may want to actually use FSet, though, this book does assume some basic proficiency in Common Lisp; I don’t recommend it as a first text for those learning the language.

It gives you a keyboard-driven interface for inspecting and maintaining .env files, with tools for spotting missing variables, comparing environments, and preserving the original structure of files when saving changes. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Astronomo_-_modern_terminal_browser_for_the_Gemini_protocol_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Astronomo is a modern terminal browser for the Gemini protocol built with the Textual Python TUI framework. It’s designed to make browsing Geminispace feel polished and practical from the command line, with a responsive interface, rich rendering for Gemtext content, and support for related protocols and tools that go beyond simple capsule viewing. The application also includes integrated mail and feed functionality, certificate handling, theming, and configuration options aimed at users who want a capable text-based internet client. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Telepipe_-_command-line_shell_for_GNOME_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Telepipe is a graphical command-line shell for GNOME that offers a desktop-oriented way to run text-mode command-line programs. Instead of acting like a conventional terminal emulator, it treats commands and their output as editable text, making it easier to move text between shell workflows and graphical applications.

It worked perfectly. * ⚓ Eshel Yaron ☛ Towards_Trust_in_Emacs⠀⇛ Emacs has some serious trust issues. Up to version 30, it didn’t differentiate between trusted and untrusted files, and in effect treated all files as trusted. This implicit trust manifested in various security issues, such as the arbitrary code execution vulnerability CVE-2024-53920 which I reported a couple of years ago. To fix this vulnerability, Emacs 30 introduced an explicit notion of trust, where some potentially risky features are only enabled for trusted files. It also set all files to untrusted by default. * ⚓ Simon Hartcher ☛ Testing_OpenGraph_on_localhost_from_the_CLI_before_you go_public⠀⇛ I wanted to render an OpenGraph preview against localhost.

We answered these questions – and more – at the recent Grazer Linuxtage event. * § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ o ⚓ Declan Chidlow ☛ The_Regulated_Reality_of_China's_Gaming Industry⠀⇛ It’s not uncommon for games to be localised, especially when moving between the Eastern and Western worlds. Of course there is the case of differing languages, but there are also many more innocuous elements that can become lost in translation that need adaptation or which must be altered to respect certain customs or laws. These changes are usually relatively minor, such as the removal of hate symbols and gore1 or the replacement of a reference that might not be understood elsewhere. However, China takes localisation to a whole different level entirely. The country’s regulation and censorship have created what feels at a glance, and even at further inspection, like an alternate universe. So much is similar to what is known by the rest of the world, and yet so much is different. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1169 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/17/Games_Ridiculous_Stats_Battles_4Connect_TerraTech_Legion_and_Mo.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/17/Games_Ridiculous_Stats_Battles_4Connect_TerraTech_Legion_and_Mo.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Ridiculous Stats Battles, 4Connect, TerraTech Legion, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 17, 2026 * ⚓ Positech Games ☛ Ridiculous_Stats_Battles_–_Cliffski's_Blog⠀⇛ Although that was a big improvement, play-testing showed me that a key problem still remained (which is true of all auto- batllers), which was namely ‘How can I translate what I learn from all these stats into adjusting my deployment the next time I fight this battle?

One of those games is 4Connect, a grouping challenge where the goal is to identify four sets of related terms from a grid of seemingly disconnected concepts - all rooted in web development. Each group shares a common theme: it might be CSS properties, layout techniques, browser quirks, or even naming patterns. The challenge lies in spotting the connections while avoiding misleading overlaps designed to throw you off. You can play online (this and other games) or directly here in the article. Each game below includes a link to its online version for a smoother playing experience. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Get_another_15_games_for_$15_in_this_new_Humble_Bundle for_April_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ A nice chance to grab 15 games that works out nice and cheap too in the Humble 15 for $15 April 2026 Bundle.

L2ARC uses fast storage like SSDs to extend the ARC, keeping frequently accessed data close to the CPU and boosting read efficiency o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Reminder:_enable_ZRAM_on_your_GNU/Linux_system_to optimize_RAM_usage_(and_potentially_save_money)⠀⇛ With the price of RAM getting out of control, it might be a good idea to remind GNU/Linux users to enable ZRAM so they can get better performance without upgrading memory, or save money on their next single board computer by selecting a board with the right amount of memory. * § Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ ROX-Filer_fix_folder_drag-and-drop_copy⠀⇛ FeodorF posted about the problem, and jakeSFR showed the fix: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=16727 Drag-and-drop copy (duplicate) created folders with owner:group of root:root, whereas it should have same as original folder.

E16 was introduced in 1999 and is still maintained to this day by a dedicated band of devs like Szewczyk, who noted in her writeup on the bug she discovered that she is one of a small community of "hardcore enthusiasts" who still use and maintain the aged window manager. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ JCS ☛ Installing_OpenBSD_on_the_Pomera_DM250⠀⇛ Much of my work has not yet been committed upstream so installation currently requires a custom kernel and U-Boot images which are provided here.

The generic definition is "protecting data in use," but it's more than that. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Build_deterministic_OpenShift_dataplane_performance_with TRex⠀⇛ Latency-sensitive dataplane workloads impose fundamentally different requirements on cloud platforms than traditional IT applications. For these workloads, success is not defined by peak throughput alone, but by predictability, bounded tail latency, and sustained stability under load. This article is intended for platform engineers validating high-performance container platforms, performance architects tuning DPDK workloads, and developers operating latency-sensitive packet processing applications. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ pip_install_vllm:_The_iceberg_under_a_single_command [Ed: IBM advocating plagiarism chatbots]⠀⇛ Consider the following command: pip install vllm vllm serve meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct When someone runs this and starts serving a model on an AMD GPU, they expect everything to just work. But there's a real build engineering challenge behind this command that most people never see. Think of multiaccelerator Hey Hi (AI) builds like an iceberg. At the surface, a user runs two commands and starts serving a model. But beneath that simple experience lies layer after layer of build engineering complexity. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Protect_identity_infrastructure_in_cloud-native environments⠀⇛ Platform teams invest enormous effort in tuning pod autoscaling, storage throughput, and service mesh configurations. Yet one of the most disruptive failure modes in high-density container environments comes from the Domain Name System (DNS), a service that predates containers entirely. This article will focus on how to protect identity infrastructure from DNS-related bottlenecks in cloud-native environments. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Deploying_agents_with_Red_Bait_AI:_The_curious_case_of OpenClaw [Ed: IBM Red Hat boosting slop, not Linux]⠀⇛ AI agents and assistants share operational needs that typical web services do not have. LangGraph agents, CrewAI agent crews, custom assistants, and OpenClaw all hold API keys, maintain session state, call tools, execute code, and make decisions on behalf of users. They communicate with large language models (LLMs) that incur per-token costs. They might run safety checks against every message. They need identity, not just authentication. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Engineering_an_AI-ready_code_base:_Governance_lessons_from the_Red_Bait_Hybrid_Cloud_Console [Ed: Spewing out slopaganda (slop propaganda) from Red Hat's official site]⠀⇛ We didn't set out to build an "AI-ready" code base. Our mandate was to execute a large-scale, complex UI migration for the Red Hat_Hybrid_Cloud_Console without disrupting production. To ensure we could do that safely, we had to lay down uncompromising architectural boundaries and strict governance to keep our human engineers aligned. * ⚓ Adam_Young:_Fixing_my_virt_Network⠀⇛ I got my_network_working_again, and this time I am running the VM as non-root user. The hypervisor is an old Fedora install that I first upgraded to Fedora 43. * ⚓ Fedora_Linux_44_Update_Gets_Delayed_to_April_21⠀⇛ Fedora 44 was meant to be launched today, April 14, 2026, but a gander at the Fedora developer mailing list reveals that the workstation Linux distribution will be delayed to April 21 at the earliest. Adam Williamson, the Fedora QA developer who made the announcement clarified in the email that the reason for the delay is a long list of outstanding blockers—bugs or broken features that are big enough to break the experience or prevent the launch of the OS—that nobody is willing to waive. These bugs include issues with KDE's plasma-setup network setup, the NVIDIA Mesa driver setup, KDE keyboard layout selection, the systemd-oomd.service, and Grub breaking booting to Windows systems with BitLocker enabled. * ⚓ LinuxInsider ☛ Rocky_Linux_Expands_Into_Enterprise_AI_Infrastructure [Ed: Following the mindless hype and bubble]⠀⇛ CIQ is expanding Rocky Linux beyond its community roots with commercially supported and AI-focused versions designed for enterprise and high-performance computing workloads. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1599 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/17/LibreOffice_Events_and_Reports.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/17/LibreOffice_Events_and_Reports.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ LibreOffice Events and Reports⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 17, 2026 * ⚓ Document Foundation ☛ LibreOffice_at_the_Chemnitzer_Linux-Tage_2026⠀⇛ The Chemnitzer Linux-Tage (English page) is a yearly event in Germany for fans of free and open source software.

MZLA Technologies is the for-profit subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation that develops and maintains the Thunderbird email client. It says Thunderbolt was created with the support of a grant from Mozilla. Terrible name aside (Intel owns a trademark for ‘Thunderbolt’ which Fashion Company Apple markets heavily, so it’s not the best choice for clarity), the LLM that MZLA Technologies asked to write their press release says that Thunderbolt is a “sovereign Hey Hi (AI) client” for organisations who want their own Hey Hi (AI) infrastructure.> * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Mozilla_announced_"Thunderbolt",_their_open-source_and self-hostable_AI_client_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Mozilla are leaning even more into AI, with the announcement today of Thunderbolt - their open-source and self-hostable AI client.

For reference, during the same time, there were 542 games released for backdoored Windows on Steam, so the GNU/Linux versions represent about 14 % of total released titles.

The device also features Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.0/2.0 ports from the Raspberry Pi SBC, gaming buttons, a built-in stereo speaker, a 3.5mm audio jack, a USB Type-C port for power, and an optional 5,000 mAh battery. * ⚓ Neowin ☛ Raspberry_Pi_OS_6.2_locks_down_security_with_a_major_change_to sudo_access⠀⇛ Is your Raspberry Pi truly secure?

Entertainment is concerned about the "alarming" growth of IPTV piracy in Chile. After securing a dynamic site blocking order in February, targeting brands like MagisTV and FlujoTV, the studio is now raising the stakes with a criminal complaint targeting Streaming Chile SpA, an operation that claims to serve over 35,000 customers worldwide. * ⚓ LibreNews ☛ I_Made_the_"Next-Level"_Camera_and_I_love_it⠀⇛ Now, here's the kicker: the bigger the focusing lens is, the larger the cone of light rays is, meaning the the out of focus parts of the image will be more out of focus: [...] * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Optocam_Zero’s_Pictures_Look_One_Hundred⠀⇛ Optocam Zero uses an auto-focus camera module and features eight photo filters. The screen dims when inactive to preserve battery life, but it can be charged back up with USB-C, and you can use it for the duration. And unlike my young adult camera, you don’t have to take out the SD card to see the pictures, just use the custom hotspot interface to transfer them. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ FPGA_Powers_DIY_USB_Scope_And_Signal_Generator⠀⇛ Oscilloscopes and to lesser extent signals generators are useful tools for analyzing, testing and diagnosing circuits but we often take for granted how they work.

Prior art from other ecosystems is noted where it exists. * ⚓ Tim Bradshaw ☛ Structures_of_arrays⠀⇛ A while ago, I decided that I’d like to test my intuition that Lisp (specifically implementations of Common Lisp) was not, in fact, bad at floating-point code and that the ease of designing languages in Lisp could make traditional Fortran-style array- bashing numerical code pretty pleasant to write. I used an intentionally naïve numerical solution to a gravitating many-body system as a benchmark, so I could easily compare Lisp & C versions. The brief result is that the Lisp code is a little slower than C, but not much: Lisp is not, in fact, slow. Who knew? The point here though, is that I wanted to dress up the array- bashing code so it looked a lot more structured. To do this I wrote a macro which hid what was in fact an array of (for instance) double floats behind a bunch of syntax which made it look like an array of structures. That macro took a couple of hours. This was fine and pretty simple, but it only dealt with a single type for each conceptual array of objects, there was no inheritance and it was restricted in various other ways. In particular it really was syntactic sugar on a vector: there was no distinct implementational type at all. So I thought well, I could make it more general and nicer. Big mistake. * ⚓ Chris Jefferson ☛ Too_much_Discussion_of_the_XOR_swap_trick⠀⇛ The most common place you might want to swap two variables is right there in a function, with local variables. So let’s write three functions and see what the compiler makes of them. First, a baseline – just return a / b: [...] * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Arne Sommer ☛ Tag_Division_with_Raku⠀⇛ This is my response to The Weekly Challenge #369. o ⚓ Arne Sommer ☛ A_Bigger_Big_with_Raku⠀⇛ The task can be divided in three cases: [...] * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Why_Most_Time_Series_Models_Fail_Before_They_Start⠀⇛ Many time series models fail before they even begin. Not because the software crashes. Not because the code is wrong. But because the data entering the model violate one of the most important assumptions in time series analysis: stationarity. This is where many analyses quietly go off the rails. A model is estimated, forecasts are produced, coefficients look serious, and the graphs appear convincing. But the model may be chasing a moving target rather than learning a stable data-generating mechanism. In this post, we will work with a real macroeconomic series rather than a toy example. The data come from the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers: All Items (CPIAUCSL), published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and distributed through FRED. FRED describes CPIAUCSL as a monthly, seasonally adjusted price index and notes that percent changes in the index are commonly used to measure inflation. o ⚓ Rlang ☛ logrittr:_A_Verbose_Pipe_Operator_for_Logging_dplyr Pipelines⠀⇛ R’s dplyr pipelines are silent. logrittr fills that gap with %>=%, a drop-in pipe that logs row counts, column counts, added/dropped columns, and timing at every step, with no function masking. With Fira Code ligatures, %>=% renders as a single wide arrow visually similar to %>% with an underline added, like a subtitle or, say, to read between the lines of a pipeline (what happened). * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Chris Lesiw ☛ Many-Step_Sequences_in_Go⠀⇛ Build scripts are generally lots of linear steps, executed in sequence, which fail if any individual step fails. This is straightforward to express in a shell scripting language: begin with set -e (or the ever- popular “Bash strict mode”), write out your sequence of steps, and execute. Recently I’ve been working on translating some venerable Bash scripts into my command buffers. Moving from Bash to Go provides some immediate benefits, like type safety, modularity, and a more expressive language with fewer gotchas. But, on a first pass, the code tends to end up in a single mega-function that does everything, start to finish. * § Rust/Oldies⠀➾ o ⚓ Adrian Plazas ☛ Adrien_Plazas:_Monster_World_IV:_Disassembly_and Code_Analysis⠀⇛ This winter I was bored and needed something new, so I spent lots of my free time disassembling and analysing Monster World IV for the SEGA Mega Drive. More specifically, I looked at the 2008 Virtual Console revision of the game, which adds an English translation to the original 1994 release. o ⚓ Rust Weekly Updates ☛ This_Week_In_Rust:_This_Week_in_Rust_647⠀⇛ Hello and welcome to another issue of This Week in Rust! ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2091 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/17/Programming_Rust_1_95_0_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/17/Programming_Rust_1_95_0_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming: Rust 1.95.0 and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 17, 2026 * ⚓ Rlang ☛ What’s_new_in_R_4.6.0?⠀⇛ R 4.6.0 (“Because it was There”) is set for release on April 24th 2026.

Every manageable element in an IPv8 network is authorised via OAuth2 JWT tokens served from a local cache. Every service a device requires is delivered in a single DHCP8 lease response. Every packet transiting to the internet is validated at egress against a DNS8 lookup and a WHOIS8 registered active route. Network telemetry, authentication, name resolution, time synchronisation, access control, and translation are unified into a single coherent Zone Server platform. IPv4 is a proper subset of IPv8. An IPv8 address with the routing prefix field set to zero is an IPv4 address. No existing device, application, or network requires modification. The suite is 100% backward compatible. There is no flag day and no forced migration at any layer. IPv8 also resolves IPv4 address exhaustion. Each Autonomous System Number (ASN) holder receives 4,294,967,296 host addresses. The global BGP8 routing table is structurally bounded by ASN count rather than prefix count. WHOIS8 is a critical infrastructure service underpinning this model.

Our mission is simple: fix bugs and improve the desktop. We look at our previous release and set the bar higher. The Linux landscape is evolving rapidly, however, and we often need to adapt to new challenges. We need a release strategy which gives us the flexibility to adapt and the empowerment to be ambitious in our development. This is a great opportunity for us. We all want clarity on the direction, but we won’t rush these decisions.

This is especially the case for something like a router, a device found in just about any home these days. Certain consumer-grade routers may contain something special like a VDSL modem, but most of them just have a WAN Ethernet jack on one end and one or more LAN- facing Ethernet ports. All further functionality is implemented in software, including any firewall, routing and DHCP features. What this means is that any old PC with at least two Ethernet ports or equivalent can be a router as long as you install the appropriate software. In this article we’ll be taking a look at what consumer-level options there exist here today, ideally something so simple that the average home user could set it up with a bit of coaching. * ⚓ [Old] Marius ☛ How_do_Wake-On-Lan_works?⠀⇛ There are multiple scenarios where you want to turn on a computer from a remote location. For example, a system administrator needs to upgrade and backup every client computer on a network after work hours and power-saving mode is turned on to save power or you have a power-hungry rendering server that is not in use 24/7. This post will focus on the technical implementation of how Wake-on-LAN works while a later post will feature how to activate it in BIOS and the operating system. * ⚓ OSTechNix ☛ The_Commands_I_Run_Before_Troubleshooting_Any_Linux System⠀⇛ After years of running Linux systems in production, I've learned that most problems are not complex. They're just poorly observed. When a system comes in for troubleshooting, I don't reach for fixes. I take a quick read of the system. Within a minute or two, I usually know where the problem lives. Not the exact fix, but the direction. * ⚓ APNIC ☛ Noisy_routers:_Investigating_the_make-up_of_route_collector data⠀⇛ The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) enables Autonomous Systems (ASes) to exchange reachability information with their neighbors using BGP update messages. A subset of these ASes share their routing information with route collector projects such as RIPE RIS and RouteViews, enabling operators to monitor connectivity and researchers to analyse Internet routing infrastructure. However, we observed a large volume of repeated updates that reflect little or no topological change, thereby inflating the size of the collected files and increasing storage costs for collector projects. We analysed more than 80 billion BGP updates from RouteViews collectors and found that repeated announcements exhibit irregular patterns and are highly concentrated in a small fraction of peers, sessions, and prefixes. In this post, we present three key findings from our study that explain how repeated updates manifest in Multi-threaded Routing Toolkit (MRT) archives and their implications for researchers and operators using BGP data. We refer interested readers to our paper for details and additional results. * ⚓ Centre pour la Communication Scientifique Directe ☛ Noisy_Neighbours: Keep_the_Neighbourhood_Quiet [PDF]⠀⇛ The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a crucial inter-domain routing protocol that uses update messages to enable Autonomous Systems (ASes) to share network reachability information. Typically, ASes should only trigger update messages to reflect configuration changes and link failures for optimal path selection. However, we have identified recurring patterns of high-frequency repeated updates without any topological changes, which consume unnecessary resources of the route collectors for archiving and storage, and complicate downstream analysis. Although the phenomenon of noisy BGP peers and prefixes is known, current work has not quantified its scope and characteristics. This study fills this gap and analyzes over 80 billion update messages from multiple RouteViews collectors spanning several years. We identify and characterize high-frequency repeated updates driven by a small fraction of sessions and prefixes. For instance, fewer than 2% of the prefixes accounted for over 90% of update messages in some BGP update traces. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Our_options_in_remote_server_installation_and management⠀⇛ For reasons outside of the scope of this entry, we have an increasing number of servers in an inconvenient location (I called it 'offsite' but that's not quite accurate). Since these servers run Ubuntu LTS, they're going to need to be reinstalled with new versions every so often, starting this summer (as 26.04 comes out), and we really don't want to do that in person, so we've been thinking about our options. * ⚓ David Bushell ☛ Warning:_containment_breach_in_cascade_layer!⠀⇛ CSS cascade layers are the ultimate tool to win the specificity wars. Used alongside the :where selector, specificity problems are a thing of the past. Or so I thought. Turns out cascade layers are leakier than a xenonite sieve. Cross-layer shenanigans can make bad CSS even badder. I discovered a whole new level of specificity hell. Scroll down if you dare! There are advantages too, I’ll start with a neat trick. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Proximity_automation_with_Red_Bait_Ansible_Automation Platform_and_Red_Bait_OpenShift_Virtualization⠀⇛ This article describes an architectural model for executing Red Bait Ansible Automation Platform automations in a hybrid environment where a cloud-hosted management cluster controls on-premise bare-metal Red Bait OpenShift Virtualization clusters hosting critical virtual machines (VM). * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Rclone_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS⠀⇛ Managing files across multiple cloud storage providers from a single Ubuntu server is frustrating without the right tool. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Roundcube_Webmail_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Modern email communication demands flexible, accessible solutions that work seamlessly across devices and platforms. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Kernel_Headers_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Angular_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_DaVinci_Resolve_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS⠀⇛ If you want to run professional-grade video editing software on Linux, DaVinci Resolve is the only serious option in the room. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Zabbix_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Zabbix stands as one of the most powerful open-source monitoring solutions available today, trusted by enterprises worldwide to monitor infrastructure, applications, and network services in real-time. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Apache_Airflow_on_Linux_Mint_22⠀⇛ If you work with data pipelines, you already know how fast manual scheduling falls apart at scale. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Shadowsocks_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Shadowsocks has become an essential tool for users seeking secure and reliable proxy solutions. * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ ufw_Command_in_Linux:_Uncomplicated_Firewall_Reference⠀⇛ Reference for the ufw command on Linux, with examples for enabling the firewall, allowing and denying traffic, deleting rules, and managing application profiles. * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ git_cherry-pick_Command:_Apply_Commits_from_Another_Branch⠀⇛ How to use git cherry-pick to apply commits from one branch to another, including single commits, ranges, conflict handling, backports, and merge commits. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3461 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/17/Tux_Manager_is_the_perfect_Linux_Task_Manager_replacement_for_W.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/17/Tux_Manager_is_the_perfect_Linux_Task_Manager_replacement_for_W.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Tux Manager is the perfect Linux Task Manager replacement for Windows refugees⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 17, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇tux_manager⦈_ Quoting: Tux Manager is the perfect Linux Task Manager replacement for Windows refugees — Moving from Windows to Linux can be really freeing, but it's easy to miss some of Microsoft's finer features. For example, some people making the jump may find that they miss Windows' Task Manager. Linux distros usually have a somewhat similar app that lets you do what you want to achieve, but it doesn't quite have all the bells and whistles of Microsoft's solution. If you recently made the move and you want to return to the Task Manager, you're in luck. Someone has released Tux Manager, a more fleshed-out and in-depth tool designed to replicate it on Linux.
