Dotfiles to Microsoft (Proprietary GitHub), Self-hosting, and Rust Hype (Also Proprietary GitHub)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 20, 2026 * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ This_one_tool_is_all_you_need_to_effortlessly_manage_and back_up_your_dot_files⠀⇛ If you've spent any amount of time configuring and customizing your Linux environment, shell, or CLI tools, you've likely done so by editing configuration files. These config or dot files (they're called dot files because the file names usually begin with a dot) can get pretty complex over time. If these files are lost or overwritten, you'll have to recreate all your configurations and customizations from scratch. That's why it's a good idea to back up these files. If you run Linux on multiple devices, it's also a good idea to sync the dot file changes between computers instead of making the same changes everywhere by hand. I use this tool to do both those things. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ These_5_apps_proved_to_me_that_self-hosting_was_worth_the effort⠀⇛ Self-hosting is now more popular than ever, and it’s not hard to see why. Day by day, more of our digital lives is moving into subscription-based cloud services that often fail to deliver. In a nutshell, this once-niche hobby for enthusiasts is quickly becoming a practical alternative for those who value privacy, control over their apps and data, and even for those who want to save money on subscription services. Fortunately, replacing cloud tools with self-hosted ones is now easier than ever. Here are a few apps that completely transformed my experience. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 9_Rust_apps_that_are_faster_than_the_Linux_tools_they replace [Ed: But Linux is a kernel; Rust cannot replace Linux, so it contaminates it]⠀⇛ Rust has become one of the hot new programming languages because it combines the ease of programming and memory safety of languages like Python with the performance and execution speed of C and C++. It's no surprise that developers have jumped on it to create real applications. Here's a grab bag of applications, ranging from simple terminal apps to games. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 390 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/20/Audiocasts_Shows_LINUX_Unplugged_and_mintCast.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/20/Audiocasts_Shows_LINUX_Unplugged_and_mintCast.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Audiocasts/Shows: LINUX Unplugged and mintCast⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 20, 2026 * ⚓ Jupiter Broadcasting ☛ The_99.8%_Rescue_|_LINUX_Unplugged_663⠀⇛ We all have data to rescue, you just don't realize it yet.

Now, Firefly has introduced two new Hey Hi (AI) cameras, the CQ38W- 1126B and CQ38W-3576, which use a similar IP67-rated enclosure but come with much more powerful processors. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ BeagleConnect_Zepto_–_A_“$1_computer”_based_on_TI MSPM0L1117_Cortex-M0+_MCU⠀⇛ BeagleBoard.org Foundation’s BeagleConnect Zepto “$1 computer” is an upcoming open-source hardware board powered by Texas Instruments MSPM0L117 Cortex-M0+ MCU, part of the MSPM0 family introduced in 2023. It’s a tiny board with mikroBus-compatible headers, a TAG-CONNECT JTAG connector, two Qwiic connectors for expansion (or one Qwiic connector + USB-C depending on the variant), Boot and Reset buttons, and an RGB LED. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Building_A_Rim-Driven_Jet_Engine⠀⇛ Rim-driven thrusters turn the normal propeller-motor arrangement inside out; rather than mounting the motor at the center of the propeller, they use a large hollow motor, with the blades attached to the inside of the rotor. They’re mostly used in ship propellers, though there have been some suggestions to use them in electric aircraft. [Integza], always looking for new and unusual ways to create propulsion, took this idea and made it into a jet engine. * ⚓ [Old] The Valve Museum ☛ The_Story_of_the_Valve⠀⇛ Few things have made a greater contribution to the general welfare of mankind than the invention and development of the electronic valve. It is difficult to imagine the chaos that would result in the world if for some reason valves suddenly ceased to operate. Yet it is only sixty years since the very first primitive valves were made, and not a great deal over thirty years since they came into everyday use in their simplest form. As is the case with many important inventions the birth of the valve was the result of intelligent observation of phenomena not immediately concerned with eventual applications. It occurred when Edison, engaged in work on the development of the electric lamp, realised than an electric current could only be made to pass in one direction between a heated filament and an additional electrode contained in an evacuated bulb. The discovery of a possible application to radio must be credited to Fleming, although he was under the impression that the current was carried by atoms of carbon from the filament. This impression was corrected in 1889 by J J Thomson, who found that the current was due to emission of electrons from the heated filament. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Comet_Q_KVM_supports_browser-based_control_of_laptops and_iPhones_over_Wi-Fi_6⠀⇛ Comet Q is a compact KVM device designed to provide remote control of laptops, mini PCs, and supported mobile devices through a web browser.

Support for this has already existed since 2007, but was never formally enabled. This closes a more than 11 year old bug report that asked for this feature. The purpose of the Projects directory is to give applications a default location to place project files that do not cleanly belong into one of the existing categories (Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos). Examples of this are software engineering projects, scientific projects, 3D printing projects, CAD design or even things like video editing projects, where project files would end up in the “Projects” directory, with output video being more at home in “Videos”. * ⚓ [Old] Alchemists LLC ☛ XDG_Base_Directory_Specification⠀⇛ The XDG Base Directory Specification defines an organized folder and file structure for applications to store associated user configuration, cache, data, state, and runtime information on UNIX-like systems.

And while every Linux distro can be great for someone, many of them aren't great for beginners. Arch is one such example, though that didn't stop me. But recently, I decided to try a popular distro that I had actually never gone hands-on with before: Fedora. This is one of the most well-known Linux distros out there, so I thought it would be a great experience for someone starting out, but after spending some time with it, I actually think it may not be the best option for a beginner. Here's why. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Flatpak_1.16.4_patches_a_critical_flaw_that_gave_apps_full_host access⠀⇛ One of the biggest benefits of Flatpaks is how it puts apps into a container. It allows apps to ship with all of their dependencies and keeps them from altering your system files to install themselves, which are fantastic benefits; however, I'd argue the best reason to use Flatpaks is the privacy and security angle. You can control what a Flatpak can and cannot do through apps such as Flatseal, so your apps can't access files or devices if you don't want them to. Unfortunately, Flatpak suffered a nasty exploit that would allow apps to get full host access and potentially run code on a PC. The good news is that the newest version of Flatpak, 1.16.4, introduces a fix for this bug, so be sure to give it a download if you're concerned about your security. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⠿⠿⠿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠻⣿⠶⠤⢀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣯⣴⣦⡤⠶⠒ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢉⡙⠻⠿⢿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣘⣛⣧⣁⠄⢠⢴ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢡⣷⣿⣿⣿⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣄⣨⡭⢭⡸⣄⠂ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠛⠁⠤⣶⠳⠀⡀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠛⡛⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣠⣴⣶⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠐⠐⠢⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠐⢢⡀⠀⠈⠩⠉⠑⠒⠒⠀⠴⢶⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣇⣨⣀⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣹⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠐⠉⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠞⣣⡶⠷⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⡇⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⣼⣿⢤⣤⣸ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣁⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢲⠟⠀⠄⣨⣿⡏⠙⢺ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⠂⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣄⣠⣙⢡⡄⢰⣿⣿⣏⣷⣖ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠛⠛⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣥⣤⣭⣛⣐⡖ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⢤⣅⣙⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣮ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠛⠛⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠀⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡉⠉⠙⠛⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠷⠐⠀⠀⠀⠄⠠⡠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢛⣓⣻⣿⡶⠶⠦⠤⠤⠈⠉⠙ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⡶⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⡀⢀⡀⡀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣄⣶⣒⣿⡯⠭⢴⣶⣀⣀⣐⢑⠱⢞⢍⡁ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 999 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/20/Firefox_150_Is_Now_Available_for_Download_This_Is_What_s_New.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/20/Firefox_150_Is_Now_Available_for_Download_This_Is_What_s_New.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Firefox 150 Is Now Available for Download, This Is What’s New⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Apr 20, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Firefox_150⦈_ Highlights of Firefox 150 include support for the GTK emoji picker on Linux to let you insert emoji by using the Ctrl+. keyboard shortcut, and the ability to reorganize PDF pages directly in the Firefox PDF viewer, including moving, copying, and deleting pages.

It has a new name, and a heap of new features. JGemini started life in 2021, as a Java-based graphical browser for the Gemini protocol. There weren’t any graphical browsers for Linux at that time and, as one of the stated design goals of the Gemini protocol was that it should be possible to write a browser “in a weekend”, I undertook to do just that. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Limine_Installer_bug_fix⠀⇛ Forum member peasthope discovered a bug with Limine Installer: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=16680 Looking at the posts in that thread and in the Limine Installer code, I found a potential bug. I'm not 100% sure that it is the specific bug that peasthope has encountered, but it is a bug. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ APNIC ☛ Strengthening_your_network_security_with_APNIC’s products_and_tools⠀⇛ Over the past few years, the APNIC community has increasingly recognized that routing security isn’t a single task, it’s an evolving practice. At APNIC, this has meant not only supporting operators with familiar tools like the Internet Routing Registry (IRR), but also developing clearer pathways toward modern, cryptographically robust approaches such as RPKI Route Origin Authorizations (ROAs) and, soon, Autonomous System Provider Authorizations (ASPAs). Alongside this, new services like APNIC DASH are helping Members turn complex routing data into something more accessible, actionable, and timely. The webinar Strengthen your network security with APNIC products and tools in late March 2026 brought those threads together for 211 participants, discussed what routing security looks like in 2026, how it’s changing, and the role APNIC’s tools can play in helping operators strengthen the resilience of the global Internet. # ⚓ postmarketOS ☛ The_postmarketOS_Conference⠀⇛ We are very excited to organize and present to you the inaugural postmarketOS conference in Autumn later this year. It's the perfect place for discussions, workshops and collaboration in the postmarketOS and Linux Mobile space, including our upstream projects. We want to connect developers and users with each other, provide room for technological deep-dives, governance round-tables, hands-on learning and hacking sessions. o § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ # § Open Data⠀➾ # ⚓ Kieran Healy ☛ New_York_City_Hexmaps⠀⇛ The five boroughs of New York City can be informally or formally carved up into many different pieces, depending on what it is that you’re doing. As part of an ongoing project, I recently made an R package, nycmaps, that lets you draw maps of some of these geographies. Things being what they are, these spatial units don’t necessarily overlap in compatible ways. City, State, and Congressional Districts, School Districts, Police Precincts, Fire Companies, Election Precincts, Municipal Court Districts, Zip Codes … there are loads of them. Some of them are quite straightforward; others patiently lie in wait to trap unwary analysts (I’m looking at you, Zip Codes / ZCTAs). o § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ # ⚓ Android Police ☛ This_is_the_decades-old_Gmail_trick_I still_use_every_day⠀⇛ That changed when I started using a simple feature built into Gmail that most people either forget exists or don't know about. It's called plus addressing, and it's rarely, if ever, addressed by Google. But after you start using it deliberately, it easily restructures how your inbox works without adding any complexity or cognitive overhead. # ⚓ [Old] Noah Petherbridge ☛ What_we_once_had_(at_the_height of_the_XMPP_era_of_the_Internet)⠀⇛ A discussion thread I got pulled into on Mastodon had me suddenly nostalgic for something we once had on the Internet, and which was really nice while it lasted: the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol, or XMPP, or sometimes referred to by its original name, Jabber. What kicked off the discussion was somebody asking about a more modern "decentralized chat platform" known as Matrix (not the movie). A lot of people online talk about how they like Matrix, but I one time had a go at self-hosting my own Matrix node (which I feel I should rant about briefly, below), and the discussion turned back towards something that we used to have which was (in my opinion) loads better, XMPP. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1620 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/20/Games_Bazzite_Dumping_Windows_and_a_Glimpse_at_SteamOS_3_9.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/20/Games_Bazzite_Dumping_Windows_and_a_Glimpse_at_SteamOS_3_9.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Bazzite, Dumping Windows, and a Glimpse at SteamOS 3.9⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 20, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇gamers_in_Linux⦈_ * ⚓ XDA ☛ Bazzite_is_chopping_1GB_off_its_image_size_—_here’s_what_got cut⠀⇛ It has never been a better time to be a Linux gamer. With Proton making good headway, we're seeing gaming-oriented distros spring up in the wake of SteamOS to capitalize on the wave of titles Linux can now run. This includes Bazzite, which has posted some excellent performance demonstrations over the past few months, including that one time it outperformed Windows on Microsoft's branded handheld console. Well, a new version of Bazzite has just hit the testing branch, and the team has managed to shave off an impressive 1GB from the image size. However, while the space savings are impressive, it wasn't 'free,' and people who are interested in what got cut may be interested in swapping to Bazzite's alternative system soon. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Windows_continues_to_lose_gamers_to_Linux,_but_they_might_be jumping_ship_at_a_bad_time⠀⇛ The last couple of years have not been great for Windows, both in its usability and in the court of public opinion. In enthusiast circles specifically, Windows has largely been framed as something to "escape" from, with the oasis being Linux, and its newfound ability to run the vast majority of games flawlessly is a large part of that. There are many people who only daily drive Windows 11 because it runs their favorite games, but as more of those titles become playable on Linux, there are fewer reasons than ever to stick around for gamers. * ⚓ XDA ☛ SteamOS_3.9_is_the_closest_thing_to_a_perfect_desktop_Linux_I've ever_used⠀⇛ For years, desktop Linux has felt like a trade-off machine to me. One distro nails performance but stumbles on polish. Another looks great until it asks me to solve some weird packaging problem at the worst possible time. A third promises flexibility, only to turn basic maintenance into a weekend project I never asked for. SteamOS is the first one in a long time to make me stop thinking of Linux as a project and start using it like a finished product. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⣀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢩⣿⡇⠀⢁⣈⣀⣠⣀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣟⢈⣿⡃⢘⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠒⠶⠶⣶⣶⠄⠀⠘⠛⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⣠⣤⣬⣭⣭⣤⣤⣤⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣉⠉⠉⡉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣿⣥⣤⣤⣤⡤⡤⣤⣤⢤⡤⢀⣠⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⢤⣠⡠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣩⣿⢾⣿⣾⣋⣿⣿⣿⡇⣭⣭⣭⣽⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣭⣽⣭⣭⣭⣽⣯⣷⣷⣵⣦⣶⣾⣷⣯⣧⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣫⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢻⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⠀⠘⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣤⣤⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠃⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠘⡄⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠁⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢀⣹⡿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⣰⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠸⡀⠸⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⢿⣿⣺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣰⡆⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠛ ⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⢟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠿⠟⠛⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠓⠒⠒⠒⠒⠲⠶⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⠀⡀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣏⠀⠀⢹⣿⣯⣭⣶⣾⣦⡀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣶⣶⣤⣄⣀⠀ ⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣭⣟⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠛⠻⠿⢿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣷⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣔⣤⣠⣄⣠⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠠⡀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⠉⠀⠀⠙⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣄ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1712 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/20/Games_The_Run_and_New_Titles_for_Steam_Deck.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/20/Games_The_Run_and_New_Titles_for_Steam_Deck.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: The Run and New Titles for Steam Deck⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 20, 2026 * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ The_Run:_Review_-_Another_FMV_game,_but_is_it_any good?⠀⇛ The Run is yet another FMV game (developed in Unity) - I know, I know, I keep not being impressed by most FMV games, but I keep giving them a chance. Deep inside me is a secret hope that one day, we will get a FMV game that will be genuinely amazing. And honestly, as a kid living in the 90s, we got pretty close at some point. * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ New_Steam_Games_Playable_on_the_Steam_Deck,_with Pragmata_and_Opus:_Prism_Peak_-_2026-04-18_Edition⠀⇛ Between 2026-04-11 and 2026-04-18 we selected 14 newly released games that are rated as Verified or Playable on the Steam Deck, and meeting specific criteria in terms of user ratings. An excellent week overall, with the new Capcom game, Pragmata (that we previewed last year at the Tokyo Games Show) is finally out, and it seems it’s been well received, with a Verified rating for the Steam Deck too. I was surprised to see that Replaced did not fare too well in terms of user reviews, still positive, but failing to live up to the hype pre-release. We have Opus: Prism Peak that’s just out as well, and I also had the chance to try it out a few months back and it should be a solid game for us who like adventure games / visual novels. Funnily, the big theme in this week is to play the role of a Father-figure to help a little girl (both Pragmata and Prism Peak follow the same trope). ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1762 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/20/GNOME_50_is_the_Linux_desktop_update_I_ve_waited_years_for.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/20/GNOME_50_is_the_Linux_desktop_update_I_ve_waited_years_for.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNOME 50 is the Linux desktop update I've waited years for⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 20, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GNOME_display⦈_ Quoting: GNOME 50 is the Linux desktop update I've waited years for — HiDPI displays are nothing new, but many Linux desktops have struggled with them, including GNOME. Some versions of Linux, like Ubuntu, have introduced fractional scaling to help text and images better scale to monitors with super-high display resolutions, with mixed results. With this release, fractional scaling is now officially part of GNOME. This means you are no longer limited to the binary choices of 100% and 200% when trying to make apps legible on your display. Smaller increments such as 125% and 150% are available, along with weird options like 133%. GNOME 50 also now supports variable refresh rates, one of many features common to gaming monitors. This means you can move your cursor around with the fluidity allowed by a monitor's maximum refresh rate (such as 144 Hz) even when using software capped at a lower refresh rate (such as 60Hz). If you're one of many PC gamers switching to Linux for the first time, you can now better enjoy that gaming monitor that GNOME wasn't making the most of. I've personally avoided even considering nicer displays because I couldn't take advantage of them. Now those restraints are falling away.

But GNOME extensions can offer almost anything you might miss from a fuller-featured desktop environment. Many of these extensions understandably relate to window management, but there are also many widgets and small utilities available.

However, at the beginning, my cache drive was definitely an unexpected bottleneck in my system. Here’s what happened and how I fixed it. * ⚓ XDA ☛ TrueNAS_SCALE_tried_to_do_everything,_so_I_gave_it_one_job_and moved_the_rest_to_Proxmox⠀⇛ I've switched between platforms for my home lab, which originally started on a Synology DiskStation DS216+ and ended up across a few compact PC Proxmox nodes. The journey has been relative turbulant-free with only a handful of hiccups that needed addressing. I've gone from pre-built network-attached storage (NAS) models from reputable brands to running my own systems and figuring out with software solution works best for our immediate needs. I believe I've finally nailed my setup for what we're running and it's pretty much flawless. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_switched_from_Proxmox_to_its_FreeBSD_counterpart_on_my_home server_–_here's_how_it_went⠀⇛ Despite spending most of my time buried under my Proxmox nodes and TrueNAS storage rig, I love tinkering with other virtualization platforms, container runtimes, and NAS-centric distros in my spare time. But since I’ve only ever used Linux and Windows (technically Mac, if you include Apple Containers) platforms, you can imagine my surprise when I heard of a home lab platform designed on top of FreeBSD. Now, I’ve dealt with bhyve VMs and jails during my time as a TrueNAS Core user, and they work well on Scale’s predecessor. But I’ve also spent weekends trying to install drivers and configure packages on FreeBSD systems, only to run into a cascading chain of errors. But this experimental tool, Sylve, had one little thing that caught my eye. Not its bhyve VMs, jail environments, or ZFS pools; Sylve had an interface uncannily similar to Proxmox. A juxtaposition of a simple, lightweight UI that’s built on top of something as complex as FreeBSD. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 5_Proxmox_services_that_turn_your_PC_into_a_self-hosted powerhouse⠀⇛ If you're thinking about self-hosting multiple services, Proxmox is a great option. Proxmox is a virtualization platform that lets you run multiple isolated services on the same machine using containers or virtual machines. There are plenty of great services that can run in Proxmox. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ This_Raspberry_Pi_project_quickly_became_the_cornerstone of_my_homelab⠀⇛ Every homelab journey starts with a single step.

A state machine consists of states and transitions between them. As a developer, I want to make illegal states unrepresentable, i.e., users of my API can’t create non-existent transitions. My hypothesis is that only a static typing system allows this at compile-time. Dynamic typing systems rely on runtime validation. In this blog post, I will show that it holds true, with a caveat. If your model has many combinations, you also need generics and other niceties to avoid too much boilerplate code. My exploration will use Python, Java, Kotlin, Rust, and Gleam. With that background in mind, let’s move on to the model itself. * ⚓ 椒盐豆豉 ☛ Human_powered_enshitification_long_predates_AI_powered_slop⠀⇛ You can imagine this tree grow much messier, bigger and deeper as more and more teams are added to the mix. Now what has that to do with the shitty auto-play shorts feature I mentioned at the beginning? Imagine your team’s goal is to increase first time shorts adoption, aka make more people watch youtube shorts. Your org’s topline probably is total shorts view hours, percentage of youtube user that has watched shorts in past X days, average finish rate, etc. * ⚓ Max Seelemann ☛ Fast_Thumbnails_with_CGImageSource⠀⇛ When working with images, we rarely need to show them at full size — most often ist’s rather as a thumbnail or preview. Using fully loaded images for this is quite slow, so we implemented a thumbnail cache. While modernizing this component, I remembered user reports about slow image loading. When they opened documents with photos, the app would stall for a moment, before becoming buttery-smooth again. The caching was clearly working, but the initial loading was problemat * ⚓ Charlotte ☛ Fluent_jj_/_aggressive_aliasing⠀⇛ Anyway, if Git is a Swiss Army knife, jj is … uhh. A combat spork? I dunno. You don’t need thirty different commands, some of which operate in a confusing range of ways (reset), others oddly specific, and the occasional Mega Tool which throws your entire workflow out the window and replaces it with a DSL (rebase -i). To do this, you need to learn about the subtle ways in which jj adjusts your view on a Git repository. Git probably took some learning; jj takes much less, but it is weird because it shifts your perspective on something existing, rather than being totally new. You have to unlearn some things! It will not take long, but you do have to do it. Try Steve’s Jujutsu Tutorial; worked for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ * ⚓ John D Cook ☛ 4-bit_floating_point_FP4⠀⇛ Neural networks brought about something extraordinary: demand for floating point numbers with less precision. These networks have an enormous number of parameters, and its more important to fit more parameters into memory than it is to have higher precision parameters. Instead of double precision (64 bits) developers wanted half precision (16 bits), or even less, such as FP8 (8 bits) or FP4 (4 bits). This post will look at 4-bit floating point numbers. Why even bother with floating point numbers when you don’t need much precision? Why not use integers? For example, with four bits you could represent the integers 0, 1, 2, …, 15. You could introduce a bias, subtracting say 7 from each value, so your four bits represent −7 through 8. Turns out it’s useful to have a more dynamic range. * ⚓ Anže Pečar ☛ How_to_Safely_Update_Your_Dependencies⠀⇛ The best way to reduce the risk of installing a compromised dependency is to avoid relying on it in the first place. Before adding a new dependency, I first make sure that implementing it ourselves would be too much work (or tokens!). Besides that, I try to ensure the dependency is reliable and well maintained. There is no good way to determine this, but looking at the git history, issues, etc., can usually give you a rough idea. * ⚓ Blake Watson ☛ Dice_rolling_and_more_on_Minimal_Character_Sheet⠀⇛ You may not realize this, but it’s hard to get a computer—a machine built around math and logic—to generate a truly random number. Perhaps it’s impossible, but I’ll let the comp-sci majors argue about that. Fortunately, one of the oldest sites on the web—RANDOM.ORG—has an API that offers true random numbers based on atmospheric noise. When you roll a die with Minimal Character Sheet, that’s what you are getting. Sophisticated processes of the atmosphere—like lightning discharges—power your Divine Smite against a beholder. One might say atmospheric processes aren’t truly random, even that the universe is deterministic—but I’ll let physicists and philosophers argue about that. * ⚓ Maury ☛ 5x5_Pixel_font_for_tiny_screens⠀⇛ 5x5 is the smallest size that doesn't compromise legibility: [...] * ⚓ Daniel Lemire ☛ The_fastest_way_to_match_characters_on_ARM processors?⠀⇛ Consider the following problem. Given a string, you must match all of the ASCII white-space characters (\t, \n, \r, and the space) and some characters important in JSON (:, ,, [, ], {, }). JSON is a text-based data format used for web services. A toy JSON document looks as follows. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ New_York_City_Hexmaps⠀⇛ The five boroughs of New York City can be informally or formally carved up into many different pieces, depending on what it is that you’re doing. * ⚓ Scheatkode ☛ Hot-wiring_the_lisp_machine⠀⇛ The modern web is choking on its own exhaust. Somewhere along the line, we traded the elegance of plain text for gigabytes of node_modules/, I know you're thinking about it. heaviest- objects-in-the-universe.png labyrinthine JavaScript frameworks, and bloated Static Site Generators that insist you learn their esoteric templating languages just to write a blog post. Worse yet, some even force you to use the mouse. Gross. I didn't want another framework. I refused to hoard dependencies like some doomsday prepper.

The proposal was accepted on April 8. I hadn’t been following the conversation in the thread and only found out about it from Cup o’ Go episode 154 . google/uuid is usually one of the first extra imports I add to a Go service that talks to a database, so this one has felt overdue for years. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2490 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/20/Review_Lakka_6_1.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/20/Review_Lakka_6_1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Review: Lakka 6.1⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 20, 2026 Quoting: DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD. — In my opinion, Lakka mostly works as it is designed to work. The distribution is meant to be just enough operating system to run RetroArch and it does this, on a variety of hardware platforms. So whether you think Lakka is a good fit for you will probably depend on your experiences and opinions concerning RetroArch. Personally, I don't feel at home with Retroarch. To me, the interface feels like the worst aspects of consoles where there are a lot of options, but navigating them requires scrolling through each item, one at a time. Plus we need to load cores, media, and ROMs from another machine. Using RetroArch is like using a console without the plug-and-play controller support and without convenient access to games. By comparison, I find using a laptop or desktop machine with a modern software centre (or Steam installed on it) a much smoother, more convenient, and easier to navigate experience. Though, admittedly, I'm reminded that I'm of an aging breed. My generation grew up with keyboards and mouse pointers, not touch screens and Wii controllers, so there is something to be said for personal preferences. I will say though that the above observation is what makes me wonder about who the audience for Lakka and RetroArch is. The console-like interface is set up for people who like modern gaming consoles and their interfaces over, for instance, a keyboard or touchscreen. However, to load content onto the Lakka machine, the user needs to be familiar with Samba shares or OpenSSH command line tools. I'm not sure how big the overlapping area of the Venn diagram would be for people who like low-end computers, OpenSSH, and PlayStation style menus is, but my guess would be that is it small. However, if you live in that area of overlap then Lakka will be a breath of fresh air and can turn your low-level computer or Pi into an inexpensive gaming console.

It’s valuable because few similar tools exist, and shell programming can be particularly flaky, with portability concerns and different syntax changes introduced over time.

Functional, stable, slightly frozen in time. It works, it does not surprise you, and it does not try to look like anything else, and much like others, I also accepted it. Then I started making small, almost trivial changes, and something odd happened. The desktop stopped feeling like a compromise and started feeling intentional. * § Kernel Space / File Systems / Virtualization⠀➾ o ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ Linux_has_a_built-in_crash_recovery_trick,_and_more people_should_use_it⠀⇛ Linux has a built-in feature called watchdog, which works on the principle that the system regularly sends signals showing it's still active. The moment it doesn't receive a signal from the system, the watchdog assumes there is a problem and triggers a reboot. This feature has existed as far back as the mid-1990s on Linux and has been used mainly on systems where uptime is non-negotiable, like servers and embedded systems. On some systems, the watchdog is exposed through the / dev/watchdog device file, while on others, it may be / dev/watchdog0. A process has to write to this file to reset the countdown timer. If the process stops writing, it typically means the system is frozen or resources have been consumed by a runaway process. In such a case, the timer expires, and that's how the reboot gets triggered. * § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ XDA ☛ I_stopped_carrying_a_laptop_after_trying_Android's_desktop mode⠀⇛ Google's experimentation with a desktop mode feature for Android has been no secret. The company has been working at it for the last few versions. Having used Samsung Dex, it's been something I've been looking forward to, especially now that I've switched to Pixel hardware. And more so, because it's a feature that could potentially completely change my travel computing setup. It's a straightforward idea, really. Instead of juggling a phone and a laptop, you let your phone be the core computing device, something that is more feasible today than it was a few years ago, and expand it with accessories like a large screen display, keyboard and mouse when you need more space. Now that the feature is out, I decided to give it a proper shot, and it ended up fitting into my routine far better than I expected. Not just that. It turns out, it is much more capable than I was expecting, and I can see myself incorporating it into my productivity routine. * § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾ o ⚓ XDA ☛ I_stopped_being_afraid_to_break_my_systems_after_learning what_each_OS_actually_needs_to_recover⠀⇛ Other times, it's systemd or Grub breaking Linux, because it's always one of those two. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠛⠋⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⢉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢉⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠰⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣒⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠛⢩⠉⠁⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⠟⠛⠉⠉⠁⢤⠀⠀⠀⢂⢘⠂⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢿⣿⡛⠋⠉⠉⠠⠃⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡤⠋⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠊⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢴⣶⣶⣦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣯⡗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠠⡀⢰⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⢳⠤⠀⠀⠀⠸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣄⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣾⡤⠀⣀⣍⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢀⢀⡴⢦⠸⣿⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠉⡜⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⢘⠀⠂⠀⠀⣤⠀⢀⣾⣷⡄⢸⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⣿⣿⣿⣧⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡁⠀⠀⣻⠀⠘⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣷⣿⣿⠟⠁⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⡄⢴⠁⠀⣀⡘⠀⣀⣁⡀⠀⡀⢠⣶⡦⠀⠀⠀⠸⠉⠙⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻⣷⣼⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣽⣁ ⣿⣿⡃⠀⠀⠙⠿⡄⠀⠈⠀⠀⠉⠋⢰⠀⠹⡷⠄⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣈⠁⠙⠛⠛⠂⠘⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⢿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⢿⣿⡿⠟⠟⢻ ⣿⣿⡷⢠⣤⣸⠟⠄⠀⠀⠂⡄⠀⠀⠞⢒⣴⠄⠀⢠⣬⠏⠉⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⡟⠉⠀⠉⢸⣿⣋⣤⣶⣾ ⣿⣿⡇⢀⣈⣶⣷⡄⠽⠶⠶⠠⠃⠀⣴⡿⠋⣦⣡⣌⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣹⡇⢈⣻⣏⡻⠃⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⡏⠀⣀⣨⠾⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡆⡀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣰⡆⠀⠀⡄⣀⡀⠰⣿⣿⡓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣟⠡⣀⣼⣥⣿⣧⣾⣾⣿⣿⣶⢤⣤⣄⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣦⣴⣤⢠⣤⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠤⠤⠤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡇⡟⢆⠀⠀⠠⣤⢤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣛⣿⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣽⣿⣶⣥⣤⣭⣬⣴⣼⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3190 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/20/Web_Browsers_Web_Servers_Small_Web_Wander_and_SSGs.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/20/Web_Browsers_Web_Servers_Small_Web_Wander_and_SSGs.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Web Browsers/Web Servers: Small Web, Wander, and SSGs⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 20, 2026 * ⚓ N3wjack ☛ the_small_web_is_back⠀⇛ There are some nice initiatives going around resurrecting the old RSS feeds, and aggregating those small web blogs for readers to discover, or writers to be inspired by.

Get ready to blow your mind! Using Linux in 2026 is more viable than you may think. Although the operating system (OS) has powered much of the world's servers for decades, it remains a severely unpopular choice for desktop and laptop systems. This is largely down to game and app support on Microsoft Windows and Apple macOS, which have traditionally offered superior experiences to Linux. That's no longer the case, and many Linux distributions (distros) are more polished than commercial operating systems. If you're coming from Windows, here are a few things that will surprise you to learn about Linux. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_tried_ReactOS_and_it's_unbearable_to_use,_but_what_it's attempting_is_genuinely_brilliant⠀⇛ When it comes to operating systems, conversations tend to revolve around three major names: Windows, Linux, and macOS.
