There is a section of code in /usr/sbin/xorgwizard-cli that was written in 2015, in the Quirky GNU/Linux days, and it is completely wrong for EasyOS.

The company arrived with big dreams of totally disrupting the “incredibly broken” computing market. While this dream remains in progress, Framework has left its mark, and its brand-new, redesigned Framework Laptop 13 Pro carries the torch forward in interesting ways, doubling down on the goals of its predecessor. * ⚓ Kev Quirk ☛ Update_on_My_Coffee_Ridden_Framework_13⠀⇛ A week or so ago, I talked about how I_might_have_killed_my Framework_13 by dumping a full mug of coffee over it while it was running. In that last post I explained how I'd stripped the laptop down and was waiting for some isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to be delivered so I could more thoroughly clean it. Well dear reader, the IPA turned up, I cleaned it as best I could, and left it for 24 hours to dry off. The next day I came back to it, re-assembled it and hit the power button with a fair amount of trepidation. [...] In my desperation, I contacted Framework support and explained the whole saga to see if there was anything I was missing. There wasn't. They told me that the LED pattern I was seeing when powered on was indicative of a communication error with the board, so it's dead and needed to be replaced. Problem is, a new board is £700 (~$950) and I didn't fancy shelling out that much money out of my own pocket, so I contacted my home insurance provider to make a claim, and to be fair they were great. * ⚓ Hacker Noon ☛ The_$118_Powerhouse:_Resurrecting_a_'Parts-Only'_T450 into_a_2026_Linux_HackPad⠀⇛ n an era of $2,000 "pro" laptops with soldered RAM and zero- repairability scores, I decided to prove a point. As a 30-year veteran of the industry, I know that hardware doesn't die—it just gets neglected. I recently acquired a "parts-only" Lenovo ThinkPad T450 for a handful of dollars. It was a mess: an unplugged internal battery, a faulty RAM stick, and a chassis covered in the grime of a previous life. To most, it was e-waste. To me, it was the perfect canvas for a high-performance "HackPad." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⡄⣴⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⢀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⡄⢀⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣧⡀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣷⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢐⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠐⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠸⣿⠿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⡀⠀⣠⣄⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣦⣤⣤⣤⢠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣦⣤⣶⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠁⢾⣿⣿⣿⣯⣙⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣉⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠙⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⡉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠛⠀⠸⠿⣿⠿⢿⢿⣿⠿⠻⢿⡿⠋⠿⣿⣿⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣆⣡⣾⣷⠀⠀⠉⠀⠸⠿⠿⠿⠉⡁⠀⢀⣤⣇⣠⣤⣭⡉⠁⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⢠⡆⠛⢀⣈⣽⠀⠙⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣇⠙⠏⠀⠙⠛⣿⣿⠿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠍⠉⠩⠙⢯⡀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠋⠀⠀⠠⠀⠠⠤⠭⠀⣴⡦⠈⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⣀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡟⡛⠛⠓⠛⠛⠚⠛⠛⠛⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⢤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠴⠏⠙⠘⠙⠁⠙⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⢿⣿⡟⣿⣽⣏⠋⠉⠁⡌⣺⣶⣶⣷⣺⣟⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⢹⠉⣵⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣷⡟⣿⢻⣽⣿⢿⣼⡇⠀⠀⢴⡧⠠⠤⠶⠄⠀⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠈⠈⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠉⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣾⣽⡋⣉⢈⠉⠉⠁⢤⣾⣶⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⡀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣷⣻⣿⣋⠀⡀⢀⡀⢀⠈⢛⣛⡟⠛⠋⡟⢛⣿⣛⣿⣻⣟⣋⢹⣏⣟⠀⠀⢠⣼⣿⣿⠀⠀⣀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⡿⠀⠘⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⣿⣿⢽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠗⠛⠟⠛⠛⠟⠛⢛⣿⣿⣿⡛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠙⢻⢻⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡿⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠉⠙⢻⢿⡄⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⢷⣶⣾⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠠⢴⢼⡜⡙ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣄⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⠏⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡏⣠⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣛⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⢹⣿⠿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⣶⢶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⡿⢿⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣆⠀⠀⢠⡄ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠋⠉⠉⠉⠈⠁⠈⠀⠈⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣤⣤ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣶⣿⣷⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠏⠛⠛⠟⢿⣟ ⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⡟⠛⠛⠛⠥⢤⣀⡀⠀⠘⣩ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⣠⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⢀⡈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠆⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣤⢭⣄⡀⠀⠀⠤⢤⣀⡉⠛ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢒⠂⠀⠂⠂⠀⢂⠖⠐⠂⠖⠐⠐⠆⠚⠐⠂⠀⠐⠂⠀⠘⠀⠀⠛⡀⠀⠛⡀⠀⠃⢀⠀⠀⢀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠉⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣦ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⢀⣒⣂⠀⠙⢀⡀⠀⠉⡠⠁⠋⣀⠀⠁⣀⢀⠈⢀⠀⠃⢉⢄⣁⣠⠄⠀⢁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⣄⢠⠄⢀⠤⠠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⠆⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣊⡉⢉⣀⢀⡀⢁⡘⣡⠀⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⢠⡄⢠⠄⡤⢠⡤⣤⠀⣀⣀⡠⣀⣀⠐⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣱⣶⣶⣶⣄⡀⠀⠈⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⠀⠀⠉⠛⠛ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⢠⣶⣿⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠉⠁⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣄⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 470 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/24/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/24/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 24, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇IPTV_player⦈_ * ⚓ clubTivi_-_IPTV_player_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ clubTivi is a cross-platform IPTV player written in Flutter.

Along with each being a Steam link for more info. * ⚓ The_classic_Terra_Nova:_Strike_Force_Centauri_from_1996_has_a_surprise update_from_Nightdive_Studios_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri originally released back in 1996 has received a surprise update from Nightdive Studios to add a few upgrades. It was originally made by Looking Glass Studios the same who made the likes of System Shock and Thief: The Dark Project. * ⚓ Factory_95_is_a_clever_automation_sim_inspired_by_Windows_95_and PowerPoint_out_now_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Inspired by the old Windows 95 theme and classic PowerPoint, Factory 95 is a fresh retro-styled automation sim out now with Linux support. This is the first game from developer Macrobit Interactive and looks rather clever. * ⚓ More_Square_Enix_titles_arrive_on_GOG_with_multiple_titles_from_the SaGa_series_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ SaGa arrives on GOG for DRM-free fans to grab a slice of more Square Enix classics. GOG announced multiple titles arrived today, along with discounts on each of them it's a good time to grab them. * ⚓ Heroic_Games_Launcher_gets_a_slick_full-screen_console-like_mode_| GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Heroic Games Launcher version 2.21 is out now bringing with it a major new feature - adding in a full-screen console-like display mode. Making it far prettier and even more usable with a gamepad, it's a great fit for TV PCs when installing games from the likes of Epic and GOG on Linux / SteamOS. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 940 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/24/GNU_Linux_and_BSD_L_eftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/24/GNU_Linux_and_BSD_L_eftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux and BSD Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 24, 2026 * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ The BSD Now Podcast ☛ BSD_Now_660:_I_just_work_here⠀⇛ Proxmox to FreeBSD, Hidden values of CPU-Intensive Compression, Cells for NetBSD, OpenBSD 7.8 on RPIs, and more... o ⚓ Sacha Chua ☛ YE20:_Emacs_Carnival:_Newbies/starter_kits_::_Sacha Chua⠀⇛ Outline [...] * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ This_tiling_window_manager_won_me_over_by_not_being a_config_nightmare⠀⇛ Tiling window managers were never an easy concept, nor were they meant to be. In a way, freeing yourself from the confines of a traditional, floating layout is much like rewiring your brain, and it demands patience. That being said, not all tiling window managers are unapproachable, arcane puzzles. i3, for example. This window manager is absolutely rock-solid and has a very easy-to-understand configuration file. If not, you could always choose to use someone else’s config as your template — no judgment there. Still, i3, despite its many strengths, is based on Xorg. Since I needed a Wayland alternative, the answer was quite obvious. Sway was the need of the hour, and I’ve comfortably rocked a config for a few years now that has seen minimal changes. o § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ Sam_Thursfield:_Status_update,_23rd_April_2026⠀⇛ Hello there, You thought I’d given up on “status update” blog posts, did you ?

It turns out that you can take an Ubuntu ISO and install from it over the network, but how the various steps and stages connect together isn't obvious. Here are my notes on this, before I forget them all. I'll assume that you already have a modern Ubuntu server installer configuration setup, but you can also do this with a stock ISO image that will walk you through the full set of server installer questions. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1075 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/24/KDE_email_part_two_use_an_email_client.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/24/KDE_email_part_two_use_an_email_client.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ KDE email, part two: use an email client⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 24, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Thunderbird_email_client⦈_ Quoting: KDE email, part two: use an email client — One of the many benefits of going to in-person sprints is you get to see how other people use their computers, and you can learn some workflow tricks from them.

Non-Volatile_Memory_Express_(NVMe)⠀⇛ As stated in my previous blog article, I started an implementation of an NVMe driver. It is now functional, and this article is an overview of it! NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is the modern standard for SSD drives. Its specification is defined by the NVM Express Consortium. Now you may ask: Maestro supports PATA and NVMe, why not implement SATA first? The answer is pretty straightforward: NVMe support is easy to implement! Now you may have noticed that it took a few months before this article came out. While the implementation of the driver was easy, my kernel needed a bit of redesign in some places to fix design flaws that prevented the driver from working correctly. We will talk about this later. * ⚓ EE Times ☛ Linux_Kernel_Support_for_IEEE_1588_Hardware_Timestamping⠀⇛ IEEE 1588 defines a protocol, the Precision Time Protocol (PTP), that enables accurate synchronization over packet switched networks (PSN). Hardware timestamping of PTP event messages is key to achieving nanosecond synchronization accuracy for PTP slave clocks. * ⚓ Adafruit ☛ The_Linux_7.1_update_includes_a_new_speedy_NTFS_driver⠀⇛ Linux 7.1 is bringing what might be the biggest under-the-radar storage change in years: a new in-kernel NTFS driver that finally treats Microsoft’s filesystem like a native citizen instead of a tolerated guest. After years of half-solutions, including slow FUSE drivers and under-maintained kernel code, Linux users will finally get fast, reliable, and fully integrated NTFS support out of the box. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣶⣤⡀⢀⡠⠤⠤⠀⠠⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⢤⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⢀⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢉⣴⠯⢤⣴⣺⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣤⣍⣙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣏⣤⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣌⠻⢿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠙⢿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡈⢻⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⣴⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⢿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠉⠉⠁⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⡉⠛⠿⠿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢠⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣼⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠻⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣄⠀⢹⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠂⠉⠉⠑⠒⠂⠶⠶⠶⠤⠀⠀⠀⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⢿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⡌⣿⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠸⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣧⣚⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⢿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠹⣷⣼⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣟⢛⣻⣨⣅⠀⣹⡟⠛⢻⣿⠛⣻⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠤⣄⣬⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣼⣶⣤⣌⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣭⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⡿⠿⠿⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠏⠉⠉⠛⠿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1267 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/24/Licensing_Legal_Issues_With_LLMs_and_History_of_BSD_Licensing_P.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/24/Licensing_Legal_Issues_With_LLMs_and_History_of_BSD_Licensing_P.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Licensing / Legal Issues With LLMs and History of BSD Licensing Perspectives/Woes⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 24, 2026 * ⚓ CoryDoctorow ☛ Pluralistic:_The_(other)_problem_with_automatic conversion_of_free_software_to_proprietary_software_(23_Apr_2026)⠀⇛ This is the model for Malus: it pairs two LLMs, the first of which analyzes a free software program and prepares a specification for a program that performs the identical function.

It’s an OS for your Arduino, of sorts. * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Espressif_Systems_ESP-Claw_framework_builds_local Hey_Hi_(AI)_agents_for_ESP32_devices⠀⇛ We had already seen OpenClaw-like Hey Hi (AI) agents for ESP32 targets such as Mimiclaw and PycoClaw, but Espressif Systems has released its own ESP-Claw framework for building local Hey Hi (AI) agents capable of LLM- driven interaction and execution on ESP32 devices. ESP- Claw enables ESP32 boards to respond to events, work with LLM-driven decisions, retain useful context, and take actions locally without connection to the clown, unless required. The agent can control sensors and device state, and perform real-world actions such as controlling an RGB LED strip. o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Microchip_PIC16F132_and_PIC18-Q35_low-power_8-bit MCUs_feature_CPLD-like_Configurable_Logic_Blocks_(CLB)⠀⇛ Microchip Technology has introduced the PIC16F132 and PIC18-Q35 8-bit families of MCUs, as an upgrade over the PIC16F13145, which combine traditional embedded control with integrated Configurable Logic Blocks (CLB), to bring CPLD-like programmable logic directly onto the microcontroller die. o ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ LeafKVM_KVM-over-IP_device_launches_with_RV1126B platform_and_touchscreen⠀⇛ LeafKVM has entered crowdfunding on Crowd Supply following its earlier pre-launch coverage, introducing a revised hardware configuration while maintaining its focus as a compact, self-contained KVM-over-IP device. The system provides remote keyboard, video, and mouse access to computers, servers, and other HDMI sources without requiring software on the target machine. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ This_KiCAD_Plugin_Enables_Breadboarding⠀⇛ Some people learning the noble art of electronics find the jump from simpler tools like Fritzing to more complex ones, such as KiCAD, a little daunting, especially since they need to learn at least two tools. Fritzing is great for visualising your breadboard layout, but what if you want to start from a proper schematic, make a prototype on a breadboard and then design a custom PCB? Well, with the Kicad-breadboard plugin for (you guessed it!) KiCAD, you can now do all of this in the same tool. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ ESP32Synth_:_An_Audio_Synthesis_Library_For_The ESP32⠀⇛ Audio output goes via I2S, requiring only a cheap I2S DAC like the UDA1334A or PCM5102 to be connected, unless you really want to use the internal DAC. With this wired up you get 80 voices by default, with up to 350 voices demonstrated before the hardware cannot keep up any more. You can stream multiple WAV files from an SD card for samples along with the typical oscillators like sinewave, triangle, sawtooth and pulse, as well as noise, wavetables and more. o ⚓ Mike Rockwell ☛ Framework_Next_Gen_Event_-_Initial_Charge⠀⇛ One thing that was heavily emphasized during the event is that they are building a company around products that you fully own and control. "You can own everything and be free." The phrase above was prominently displayed during the presentation and embodied by everything that the company produces. When everyone else in the tech industries seems to be obsessed with services revenue, subscriptions, and locked down hardware, Framework is bucking the trend. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1440 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/24/Mozilla_PostgreSQL_Tie_in_WebExtensions_API_Changes_Thunderbird.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/24/Mozilla_PostgreSQL_Tie_in_WebExtensions_API_Changes_Thunderbird.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Mozilla: PostgreSQL Tie-in, WebExtensions API Changes, Thunderbird Mobile Progress Report, and Towards a Telemetry (Surveillance) Taxonomy⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 24, 2026 * ⚓ Wil_Clouser:_Firefox_Sync_adds_official_PostgreSQL_support⠀⇛ The Sync Storage team has landed official PostgreSQL support for Firefox Sync.

I am Christos, the new Sr. Developer Relations engineer in Add-ons, and I’m excited to write my first post on the Add-ons engineering blog. * ⚓ Thunderbird ☛ Thunderbird_Blog:_Mobile_Progress_Report_–_April_2026⠀⇛ It’s been a very busy couple of months as we’ve reworked processes & priorities and established a roadmap for both iOS and Android.  We are determining how best we can coordinate with the community, and think that our roadmap for the year has a good balance of fixes and features.  Today, I want to talk about our contributors and pull requests, Notifications in the Android app, progress in the iOS app, and an overview of our roadmap for both apps this year. * ⚓ YouTube ☛ Mozilla_Data_YouTube_Channel:_Towards_a_Telemetry_Taxonomy⠀⇛ Leif Oines talks about an effort to define a more complete taxonomy for Mozilla's data. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1512 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/24/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/24/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 24, 2026 * ⚓ Sandor Dargo ☛ C++26:_Structured_Bindings_can_introduce_a_Pack⠀⇛ Last week, we talked about how C++26 improves structured bindings by allowing them to be used in conditionals’ init statements. We also briefly touched on other improvements coming in C++26, such as individual binding annotations and constexpr bindings. * ⚓ Alisa Sireneva ☛ Wait,_if_(flags_&_O_SYNC)_is_wrong?⠀⇛ I needed to convert file status flags between operating systems yesterday. They are the values you pass as the second argument to open – O_NONBLOCK, O_NOATIME, O_SYNC, O_DSYNC, and so on: [...] * ⚓ Sergio_Talens-Oliag:_Developing_a_Git_Worktree_Helper_with_Copilot⠀⇛ Over the past few weeks I’ve been developing and using a personal command-line tool called gwt (Git Worktree) to manage Git repositories using worktrees. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Git_worktrees_are_now_cool⠀⇛ From reading Julia Evans’ bonus comic about Git worktrees, I learnt that an advantage of using worktrees rather than cloning the same repo several times is that it’s faster, because of the worktrees’ sharing a .git folder. * ⚓ Jamie Brandon ☛ Borrow-checking_without_type-checking⠀⇛ I'm exploring a style of type-system exemplified by julia and zig. Both languages start with a dynamic type system, enforced by dynamic type-checks, and then layer on a static type system which is capable of proving that the dynamic type-checks are unnecessary. The dynamic type system provides flexibility and easy meta-programming, while the static type system removes the overhead in most of your code. Julia and zig differ slightly in how they handle code that cannot be statically type-checked. Zig will refuse to compile the code at all, while julia will leave some dynamic type- checks and will run the static type-checks again when more type information is available. * ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_dtts_0.1.4_on_CRAN: Maintenance⠀⇛ Leonardo and I are happy to announce another maintenance release 0.1.4 of our dtts package which has been on CRAN for four years now. dtts builds upon our nanotime package as well as the beloved data.table to bring high-performance and high- resolution indexing at the nanosecond level to data frames. dtts aims to offers the time-series indexing versatility of xts (and zoo) to the immense power of data.table while supporting highest nanosecond resolution. * ⚓ Godot Engine ☛ HDR_output_arrives_in_Godot_4.7⠀⇛ HDR output is coming to Godot 4.7 for Windows, macOS, iOS, visionOS, and Linux. What is it useful for, and what effect can it have on visuals? Find out in this article. * ⚓ Sebastian Wick ☛ Sebastian_Wick:_How_Hard_Is_It_To_Open_a_File?⠀⇛ It’s a question I had to ask myself multiple times over the last few months. Depending on the context the answer can be: [...] * ⚓ Trail of Bits ☛ Trailmark_turns_code_into_graphs⠀⇛ We’re open-sourcing Trailmark, a library that parses source code into a queryable call graph of functions, classes, call relationships, and semantic metadata, then exposes that graph through a Python API that Claude skills can call directly. Install it now: uv pip install trailmark * ⚓ Qt ☛ Qt_Creator_19.0.1_released⠀⇛ § We are happy to announce the release of Qt Creator 19.0.1! * ⚓ Adam_Young:_Selecting_a_subset_of_files_for_ctags⠀⇛ I usually don’t want all of the files in the linux Kernel for my ctags. Sometimes I want a cvery small subset: a set of C files and the included header files. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Perl ☛ Importance_of_Repositories_in_Public⠀⇛ Publicly viewable repository has in fact become much more than just a place of work. It is also an advertisement for the project and of the community behind it, if there is more than one author or contributor. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ I_Emailed_Python’s_Creator_in_2007._The_Language_Now_Runs_the World.⠀⇛ In August 2007, a few weeks after launching this site, I did something that still surprises me when I think about it: I emailed Guido van Rossum — the creator of Python and the language’s self-titled “Benevolent Dictator For Life” — to ask for advice on starting a Python User Group in the Philippines. To my genuine shock, he replied. Quickly. With actual instructions on how to get it started. That email led to a blog post called “Will_Real_Python Hackers_Please_Stand_Up,” which became a rallying cry for Filipino Python enthusiasts. Comments trickled in from across the archipelago — a math professor from Ateneo de Manila teaching Python in discrete mathematics classes, a developer from Austin, Texas who was moving to Bohol and wanted to connect, a 17-year-old IT student eager to join. By May 2008, we had Pinoy_PUG— the Pinoy Python User Group — up and running on Surveillance Giant Google Groups. It was a tiny community. A handful of enthusiasts scattered across islands, connected by a shared interest in a programming language that most of the tech world was still ignoring. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux Links ☛ cksfv.rs_–_reimplements_the_classic_cksfv_tool⠀⇛ cksfv.rs is a command-line utility written in Rust that reimplements the classic cksfv tool for working with SFV checksum files. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1701 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/24/Red_Hat_Buzzwords_and_IBM_Sabotaging_Adoption_of_RHEL.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/24/Red_Hat_Buzzwords_and_IBM_Sabotaging_Adoption_of_RHEL.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat Buzzwords and IBM Sabotaging Adoption of RHEL⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 24, 2026 * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Zero_trust_observability:_Integrating_OpenTelemetry_with workload_identity_manager⠀⇛ In the modern cloud-native ecosystem, observability is no longer optional—it's the lifeblood of reliable system architecture. We rely on OpenTelemetry (OTel) to gather traces, metrics, and logs necessary to keep our applications running smoothly. But as our telemetry pipelines grow in complexity, a critical security question emerges: Who is watching the watchers, and how do we secure the data they collect? * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ CodeCov_and_CodeRabbit_in_action_for_a_SCLORG_organization⠀⇛ Analyzing and improving the quality of code should be one of the top priorities. Hey Hi (AI) brings a lot of positive and negative approaches. Our team recently needed to migrate our Bash container test suite, container-common-scripts (https:// github.com/sclorg/container-common-scripts/), to a new Python- based CI suite (container-ci-suite). We would like to ensure that the code in container-ci-suite is well written and well covered by tests. We have decided to onboard two tools, CodeCov and CodeRabbit, into several repositories, such as container- ci-suite, ci-scripts and others. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Introducing_Apache_Tomcat_10.1_in_RHEL_10⠀⇛ We are announcing the upgrade of the RPM packaged version of Apache Tomcat in Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux (RHEL) 10 from Apache Tomcat version 9.0 to version 10.1. This upgrade introduces many changes, most notably the switch from the Java EE namespace to Jakarta EE required by the Jakarta EE 9 release. This article will help developers and system administrators that create or deploy applications understand the changes required by this upgrade, and offer a temporary solution to make moving to RHEL 10 easier for your organization. * ⚓ Distro Watch ☛ Development_Release:_AlmaLinux_OS_9.8_Beta_1⠀⇛ The AlmaLinux project has announced the availability of a development snapshot for AlmaLinux OS 9.8. The new beta offers updated packages, improved security, and packages for Python 3.14. The release announcement shares: [...] * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Building_a_Center_of_Excellence_for_Ansible⠀⇛ A CoE for Ansible is a group responsible for setting automation standards and promoting Ansible’s collaborative open source nature. The CoE acts as an enablement and governance body, allowing for more effective automation across the organization. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Bridging_legacy_and_cloud-native:_A_new_path_with Red_Hat_OpenShift_Dedicated_deployed_on_Google_Cloud_and_Google_Cloud NetApp_Volume⠀⇛ Today, we're excited to announce that Google Cloud NetApp Volumes (GCNV) is now certified as a supported storage provider for OpenShift Virtualization, running as a self-managed operator on Google Cloud. This follows the initial announcement of OpenShift Virtualization availability on OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud. This powerful combination brings together Red Hat's industry-leading OpenShift platform with NetApp's proven enterprise data management capabilities, delivering the advanced storage features that production VM workloads demand.  * ⚓ Stack Overflow ☛ No_country_left_behind_with_sovereign_AI [Ed: IBM is selling slop]⠀⇛ Ryan welcomes Stephen Watt, distinguished engineer and VP of Red Hat’s Office of the CTO, to chat about digital sovereignty and sovereign AI. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_Further_Drives_Digital_Sovereignty_for_the AI_Era_with_Red_Hat_OpenShift_on_Google_Cloud_Dedicated [Ed: No, Red Hat, outsourcing to Google is not "Digital Sovereignty" and promotion of slop is lousy at best]⠀⇛ * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Deploy_OpenViking_on_OpenShift_Hey_Hi_(AI)_to_improve_Hey_Hi_ (AI)_agent_memory [Ed: IBM Red Hat peddling slop to sell products is a recipe for disaster]⠀⇛ Every Hey Hi (AI) agent has the same Achilles' heel, memory. Once a conversation ends, the context vanishes. The agent forgets what it learned, the user's preferences, and the resources it had. Traditional RAG systems try to solve this with flat vector databases, but they bring their own problems, such as fragmented context, ballooning token costs, and retrieval pipelines that behave like black boxes. OpenViking, an open source context database from ByteDance's Volcengine team, takes a different approach. * ⚓ Market Screener ☛ IBM_CFO:_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_decelerated_due_to federal_shutdown_in_Q4 [Ed: Not due to making it proprietary and laying off engineers?]⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1830 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/24/Running_Old_Windows_Inside_GNU_Linux_WSL9x.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/24/Running_Old_Windows_Inside_GNU_Linux_WSL9x.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Running Old Windows Inside GNU/Linux (WSL9x)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Running Old Windows With GNU/Linux (WSL9x) Inside on Apr 24, 2026, updated Apr 24, 2026 Darrell Vermilion|your scientists were so preoccupied * ⚓ You_can_now_run_GNU/Linux_on_your_ancient_backdoored_Windows_95_desktop with_a_new_tool_—_very_old_backdoored_Windows_PCs,_back_to_defective_chip maker_Intel_486,_can_cooperatively_run_very_modern_Linux_kernels_with WSL9x⠀⇛ WSL9x enables users to run the most modern Linux kernels in Microsoft OSes as old as backdoored Windows 95. * ⚓ hails/wsl9x:_Windows_9x_subsystem_for_Linux⠀⇛ WSL9x runs a modern Linux kernel (6.19 at time of writing) cooperatively inside the Windows 9x kernel, enabling users to take advantage of the full suite of capabilities of both operating systems at the same time, including paging, memory protection, and pre-emptive scheduling. Run all your favourite applications side by side - no rebooting required! Proudly written without AI. It's FOSS: * ⚓ Microsoft_Has_WSL,_But_This_Developer_Built_One_for_backdoored_Windows 95⠀⇛ WSL9x lets you run a modern GNU/Linux kernel 6.19 inside backdoored Windows 9x without needing virtualization. More: * ⚓ Windows_9x_Subsystem_for_Linux⠀⇛ WSL9x by Hailey Somerville runs a modern Linux kernel (6.19 at time of writing) cooperatively inside the Windows 9x kernel, enabling users to take advantage of the full suite of capabilities of both operating systems at the same time, including paging, memory protection, and preemptive scheduling. * ⚓ You_can_now_run_modern_Linux_kernels_inside_Windows_95_with_this_fan- made_project⠀⇛ Windows 95 is a legendary operating system, but you know what it was missing? Windows Subsystem for Linux. Clearly, back in the days when Microsoft was figuring out how the hell you connect a computer to the internet, it should have been working on a way to run a modern-day Linux distro right there within the OS. You know, simple things like that. Hackaday: * ⚓ WSL9x:_Add_A_Linux_Subsystem_To_Your_Windows_9x⠀⇛ Considering that Windows NT has the concept of so-called ‘subsystems’ whereby you can run different systems side-by- side, starting with the POSIX subsystem and later the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), it was probably only a matter of time before someone figured that doing this with Windows 9x was also completely reasonable. Ergo we now got [Hailey Somerville]’s Linux Subsystem for Windows. To make running Linux inside Windows 9x work, it was necessary to heavily patch a Linux kernel, as normally there are no provisions for such a subsystems in Windows 9x’s kernel unlike the NT kernel. Correspondingly, the Linux kernel is based on user-mode Linux and hacked to call Windows 9x kernel APIs instead of the POSIX ones. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1937 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/24/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/24/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 24, 2026 * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Thursday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (kernel and osbuild-composer), Debian (cpp-httplib, firefox-esr, gimp, and packagekit), Fedora (chromium, composer, libcap, pgadmin4, pie, python3-docs, python3.14, and sudo), Mageia (gvfs), Oracle (.NET 8.0, delve, freerdp, giflib, ImageMagick, kernel, OpenEXR, and osbuild-composer), SUSE (erlang, giflib, google- guest-agent, GraphicsMagick, ignition, imagemagick, kea, kernel, kissfft, libraw, libssh, ocaml-patch, opam, openCryptoki, openexr, openssl-1_1, tomcat, tomcat10, tomcat11, and tor), and Ubuntu (linux, linux-aws, linux-aws-5.4, linux- azure, linux-gcp, linux-gcp-5.4, linux-hwe-5.4, linux-ibm, linux-ibm-5.4, linux-iot, linux-kvm, linux-oracle, linux- oracle-5.4, linux-xilinx-zynqmp, linux-aws, linux-aws-6.17, linux-hwe-6.17, linux-oracle, linux-oracle-6.17, linux-azure, linux-intel-iotg, linux-intel-iotg-5.15, linux-kvm, linux- oracle-5.15, linux-azure-5.4, linux-azure-fips, linux-fips, linux-aws-fips, linux-azure-fips, linux-gcp-fips, linux-hwe- 6.8, linux-ibm-6.8, linux-raspi, linux-oracle, linux-oracle- 6.8, linux-raspi, linux-raspi-5.4, linux-raspi-realtime, packagekit, python-tornado, ruby rack-session, slurm-llnl, and strongswan). * ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ US,_UK_agencies_warn_hackers_were_hiding_on_Cisco firewalls_long_after_patches_were_applied⠀⇛ Investigators found the malware, dubbed Firestarter, on a federal agency's network in a campaign dating back to at least September 2025. > * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ UK_spy_agency_releases_malware-blocking_gadget_for HDMI_and_DisplayPort_cables_—_SilentGlass_blocks_malicious_traffic traveling_between_display_and_computer⠀⇛ The NCSC, a part of the British GCHQ, has deployed this protective gadget throughout various government estates and is now making it publicly available through Goldilock Labs. * ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Surveillance_campaigns_use_commercial_surveillance tools_to_exploit_long-known_telecom_vulnerabilities⠀⇛ Researchers said it’s the first-ever mapping of attack traffic to mobile operator signalling infrastructure. * ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Dragos:_Despite_Hey_Hi_(AI)_use,_new_malware targeting_water_plants_is_‘hype’⠀⇛ ZionSiphon was designed to find and sabotage Israelis’ water supply.

Cherilyn Pascoe, director of NIST’s National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, said the NCCoE is launching the OT cybersecurity project after working on several efforts related to specific critical infrastructure sectors. * ⚓ Buttondown LLC ☛ Email_could_have_been_X.400_times_better⠀⇛ All that, and more, was standardized in the 1984 spec for X.400 as Interpersonal Messaging. It was everything we call email today, and then some. “We had a better system back in the day: X.400,” as one commentator reminisced. SMTP, the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol that became the standard behind how modern email is sent, “didn’t win because it was ‘better,’” he argued, but “just because it was easier to implement. Like a car with no brakes or seatbelts.” * ⚓ Rolling Stone ☛ 432_Hz:_Ed_O'Brien,_Ziggy_Marley,_James_Blake_on_the Magic_Frequency⠀⇛ For O’Brien, the effects of 432 Hz tuning are profound. “For me it just feels right,” he says. “It has greater depth and power; it feels whole. In comparison, music at 440 Hz feels slightly shrill. The instruments sound and resonate better at this frequency, especially acoustic instruments like guitars. It feels deeper.” * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o ⚓ Rachel ☛ Administrivia:_URLs_in_the_feed_are_now_all_https- based⠀⇛ But then I found that far too many places were scraping the pages and did not understand this fundamental aspect of building http[s] URLs, such that "if the http: in front is gone but the // is still there, you use the same damn protocol". I know this because I saw all kinds of crap in my server logs. (It's always about the crap in the logs.) People's browsers were trying to fetch the _literal_ "// rachelbythebay.com/..." string from here, and were getting 404s and thus pages with no images, MP3s, or whatever else it was I had in the page/post. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2133 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/24/statCounter_Europe_is_Leaving_Microsoft_Behind.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/24/statCounter_Europe_is_Leaving_Microsoft_Behind.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ statCounter: Europe is Leaving Microsoft Behind⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 24, 2026, updated Apr 24, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇The_French_and_Spanish_Sawyers_of_the_World⦈_ Free software is not the same as "independence from GAFAM".

Kenel_and_Cosmic_1.0.10_preinstalled⠀⇛ * ⚓ APNIC ☛ Detecting_and_characterizing_DDoS_scrubbing_from_global_BGP routing⠀⇛ Autonomous Systems (ASes) mitigate Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks by redirecting traffic to scrubbers using the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). The scrubbers filter malicious traffic and forward legitimate traffic to the ASes they protect. Despite its usage, the behaviour of BGP-based scrubbers is not well understood, such as whether scrubbers are always on-path or activated on-demand. Prior work does not distinguish between these modes and is limited to cases where the protected AS remains the origin of its prefixes. In a recent study, we analysed public BGP data to detect scrubbing behaviours of five popular scrubbers, including whether scrubbers act as upstream providers or originate prefixes on behalf of protected ASes. Our research provides a broader view of DDoS protection across regions than our prior work, which we detailed in our paper presented at the Passive and Active Measurement Conference 2026. This post will summarize those findings. * ⚓ RIPE ☛ Understanding_DDoS_Scrubbing_in_BGP:_Five_Leading_Scrubbers⠀⇛ DDoS mitigation often relies on BGP for "scrubbing", but how this appears in routing data is not well understood. We analyse five major providers to distinguish between always-on and on- demand protection, showing how mitigation manifests in practice and what it means for routing visibility and RPKI. * ⚓ Andy Bell ☛ The_end_of_responsive_images⠀⇛ I’ve been waiting for fourteen years to write this article. Fourteen years to tell you about one relatively new addition to the way images work on the web. For you, just a handful of characters will mean improvements to the fundamental ergonomics of working with images. For users, it will mean invisible, seamless, and potentially massive improvements to front-end performance, forever stitched into the fabric of the web. For me, it means the time has finally come to confess to my sinister machinations — a confession almost a decade and a half in the making. * ⚓ Pekka Väänänen ☛ Single-pass_palette_refinement_and_ordered_dithering⠀⇛ Usually image color reduction is done in two independent phases: first a color quantization algorithm finds a palette, which is then used by a pixel mapping phase to assign every output pixel a color from the palette. Ignoring any possible dithering for now, the chosen palette color is the one with the shortest Euclidean distance to the original pixel color. But if we know both the old and new colors for each pixel, it’s possible to refine the palette. Palette refinement can be done with repeated “k-means” iterations that take all pixels that were assigned the same palette color index and compute new palette colors as averages of said pixels. The same can also be done sequentially, which results in online k-means (OKM) where each pixel slightly nudges its chosen palette color towards its own original color. The palette subtly changes after each processed pixel, and not only at the end of an iteration like in regular “batch” k- means. What I’ve got to show is a method that modifies the online k- means algorithm to produce an ordered dithering pattern as a side effect. My method doesn’t generate the highest quality images but allows you to skip the final pixel mapping step, which yields a small speedup, in theory. But the main reason for publishing this experiment is that I think the results look neat. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_OpenClaw_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Self-hosting an Hey Hi (AI) assistant used to mean renting cloud infrastructure and paying per API call. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Ventoy_on_AlmaLinux_10⠀⇛ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Snipe-IT_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Snipe-IT is a powerful open-source IT asset management system that helps organizations track hardware, software licenses, accessories, and consumables efficiently. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_PulseAudio_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Fedora 43 ships with PipeWire as its default sound server, and for most users that works well out of the box. * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ How_to_Upgrade_to_Ubuntu_26.04⠀⇛ This guide explains how to upgrade Ubuntu 25.10 to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS today, and when Ubuntu 24.04 LTS systems become eligible for the standard upgrade path. * ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ How_to_Install_Ubuntu_26.04_Desktop_Edition_Step_by Step⠀⇛ This is a step by step beginner’s guide shows how to install the current Ubuntu 26.04 LTS in your PC or laptop.

Ubuntu — The Ubuntu 26.10 release date and those of other notable milestones in the next development cycle have now been shared by Canonical but, given the nature of development, should be considered tentative – plans can and do change. The most significant date in the 26.10 schedule, besides the final release, is that of feature freeze on August 10, 2026. This is the date at which (in theory1) new features stop being added so that the focus can move to bug fixing and cleanups. That’s the date by which the character of the Stonking Stingray will reveal itself, while UI freeze a month later is when the personality becomes apparent, i.e., when any new artwork, theme changes and user- facing adjustments need to be in place.

While our release engineering team and packagers focus on the final touches for F44, it is nearly time for the usual tradition of a Global Virtual Release Party! It is almost time to celebrate! For this release, we will celebrate Fedora Linux 44 slightly ahead of its actual final release. Regardless of the final calendar date of any Fedora Linux release, every release represents months of hard work, testing, and collaboration from our global community. Whether you are a long-time package maintainer, a dedicated documentation writer, a creative graphic artist, or a brand-new user firing up a Fedora Atomic Desktop for the very first time, this release belongs to you. To mark the occasion, we are hosting the Fedora Linux 44 Virtual Release Party this Friday, April 24, 2026. Read_on FOSS Force: * ⚓ Fedora_44_Tips_Its_Hat_With_a_Virtual_Release_Party_-_FOSS_Force⠀⇛ As you might know, Fedora Linux 44 is tentatively scheduled to be released on Tuesday. “Tentatively,” because the date’s been pushed back twice already due to last minute technical issues. However, they say “the third time’s the charm,” which should mean this release will go off without a hitch — or at least without a hitch serious enough to push the release back further. Regardless of when the new version does or doesn’t get released, we’re all invited (whether we use Fedora or not, because that’s how open source rolls) to a release party that’s happening right in your den, bedroom, living room, kitchen, office, or wherever you have internet access. If you’re old school Fedora, you’ve been expecting this and probably already have all the wheres and wherefores at your disposal. If not, I’m here to tell you this is a normal thing for the project named after a hat which is sometime red. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣉⣉⣠⣤⣤⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⢠⠴⠤⠤⠶⠞⣿⣿⠟⢻⣻⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠁⠈⠳⠲⠒⠿⣟⣿⡼⢶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⡒⢷⣦⡀⠹⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣟⠳⠐⣝⣍⣬⡟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠀⠁⠀⠉⠝⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠘⢋⢬⣽⡾⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣙⠿⠛⠛⠛⢛⢉⡫⠌⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣥⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠔⠒⠒⠚⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢠⠀⢯⣔⣩⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣌⡛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣠⣴⣄⢀⣤⣄⣀⣤⣦⡀⣠⡄⠀⠀⢀⡄⠀⣠⡀⠀⣤⣤⡀⣤⣤⣤⡄⠀⣤⣦⡄⣠⡤⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠒⢺⣟⣓⣼⣇⣽⢿⣇⣼⣿⣿⣾⣳⣿⢿⡄⢰⡿⣶⠾⢿⡶⠀⣿⣾⣿⣿⣻⣾⣧⣤⣿⣛⣲⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⡟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠁⠀⠉⠈⠙⣋⠀⢀⣀⣤⣴⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡉⠈⠘⠁⡌⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠇⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣧⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡝⠿⣳⣤⣄⣟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠵⠐⣚⣫⣟⠁⠁⢈⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⢿⣿⣿⠛⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡙⢻⣿⣿⣷⡮⣽⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡁⠀⣏⡻⢿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣶⣾⠿⠿⠿⠟⠳⣌⠞⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⢠⠤⣿⣿⣿⣯⡙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣌⠻⠇⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣷⣦⣙⢿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⡀⠈⠳⣝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣦⡘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣽⢿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⢙⣿⣿⡟⣿⣏⣿⣿⣏⣿⣿⡟⢻⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢶⣌⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠙⣿⣿⣾⣽⣿⣿⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⡉⠁⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣙⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠔⣮⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣌⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣉⣠⣾⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣷⣄⣈⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣌⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣬⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣄⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿ ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 3107 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 27 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
