for slower but stable experience⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 25, 2026 Quoting: Blacklist ntfs3 and use ntfs-3g for slower but stable experience — I know, I know. Using NTFS in Linux is asking for trouble. Then again, most desktop systems in this world use Windows, and if you want cross-operability in a simple way, NTFS is the way to go. You cannot convince random people to partition and format their disks with EXFAT or anything of that sort. Furthermore, Linux has the built-in support. The kernel package is sort of a clue. Hence, if it's there, it should work. As I've faced tons of problems with the ntfs3 driver, I think the simplest solution is to use the old, crusty, slow but reliable ntfs- 3g set. You won't get blazing speed, but you will get consistent results. My testing over the years, with millions of files and many TBs of data copied shows this to be the case. Should you encounter similar issues to mine, give it a go. Your backups won't be fast, but your system work go bork, either. Soon, we might even get a new ntfs driver in the kernel, so that could help resolve all of these issues, reliability and speed. Stay tuned for updates.

This decision comes after a few delays where developers chose to prioritize system stability over meeting their original April 14 deadline. The project reached this "Go" status during a final meeting on April 23, where teams from development, quality assurance, and engineering agreed that the F44 now meets their strict release standards. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ When_less_is_more:_Why_less_precision_and_fewer parameters_carry_enterprise_AI [Ed: IBM Red Hat pushing slop instead of trying to promote GNU/Linux; Wall Street likes the Ponzi scheme more.]⠀⇛ The question enterprise teams are asking is rarely, "how do we get the most powerful model?" It is almost always, "how do we get a model that's fast enough, accurate enough, and affordable enough to run reliably in our environment?" Those are different questions, and they often lead to different answers, pointing toward smaller models more often than teams expect. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Customer_stories_and_continued_momentum:_OpenShift Virtualization_sessions_at_Red_Hat_Summit_2026⠀⇛ The early conversations were almost entirely about migration: how to move virtual machines (VMs) safely, how to avoid downtime, and how to get off the renewal clock. As time has gone by, those topics have come up more frequently and with greater urgency. Organizations are now going further, asking what they’ll land on after migration, not just what they leave behind. Some want a modern platform that runs their VMs today and gives them a nondisruptive path to containers, AI workloads, and modern operational practices when their business is ready. Others are using the move to consolidate previously separate virtualization and container environments onto a single platform with a single set of tools, eliminating the duplication that comes from running parallel infrastructure stacks. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Confidential_guest_reset_on_QEMU_hypervisor:_Design choices_and_approach [Ed: Confidential?

If you aren’t familiar with them, FOSS United is a non-profit foundation dedicated to promoting the Free and Open Source Software ecosystem in India. * § Software Freedom⠀➾ o ⚓ Shifting_the_Trap⠀⇛ Back in 2009, Richard Stallman warned us about The JavaScript_Trap. The pitch was simple, and it's aged horrifyingly well. Every time you visit a modern website, your browser silently downloads and executes a pile of non-free JavaScript on your computer. You didn't choose this software. It runs anyway, on your hardware, in your name, and the moment your tab closes, it pretends nothing happened. It's the perfect non-free program: invisible, ephemeral, and authored by someone who would very much like you not to think about it at all. The response from the free software community has been to push back at the browser layer - LibreJS, NoScript, Trisquel's defaults, gentle public reminders that yes, that "web app" is a program, and yes, you are running it. Fine. Good. Necessary. * § GNU Projects⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ GnuPG_2.5.19_released⠀⇛ Werner Koch has announced the release of GnuPG 2.5.19.

Krita 5.3.0/6.0.0 has finally been released! * ⚓ Automatic_brightness_in_Plasma⠀⇛ As an exception to my usual posts, this time I’ll write about a feature that’s already released. Since Plasma 6.6, you can enable automatic brightness in the display settings… let’s take a look at how it works, and why it took so long to make it happen. * ⚓ Kai Uwe ☛ Qt_No_Contextless_Connect⠀⇛ As many long running projects, Qt too over the years has accumulated some Hey Hi (AI) that in hindsight are deemed unsafe or sub-optimal. For example, Qt by default implicitly converts const char* to QString. While that usually only incurs a runtime overhead, maybe encoding problems, but also admittedly less cluttered code, there’s other Hey Hi (AI) that can backfire in more subtle ways. One such API is doing a “context-less connect”. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1156 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/25/Kernel_Space_Ceph_Slop_Thrown_Into_Linux_Without_Audits_Useful_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/25/Kernel_Space_Ceph_Slop_Thrown_Into_Linux_Without_Audits_Useful_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Kernel Space: Ceph, Slop Thrown Into Linux Without Audits, Useful Code Abandoned Based on Unverified Bot 'Audits'⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 25, 2026 * ⚓ Paul Heinlein ☛ Of_IAM_and_Ceph_Accounts⠀⇛ Beginning with release 19.2.0 (codenamed “Squid”), the Ceph Object Gateway, Ceph’s S3-workalike feature, supports user accounts “as an optional feature to enable the self-service management of Users, Groups and Roles similar to those in AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM).” * ⚓ XDA ☛ AI_coding_is_now_a_core_part_of_Linux's_development,_but_I'm_not worried [Ed: Quality thrown out the window]⠀⇛ Recently, the Linux coding documentation was updated to state that AI-generated code can be submitted to the kernel, and while I was originally apprehensive about the idea, now I'm not so worried. * ⚓ TechSpot ☛ Linux_may_drop_legacy_network_drivers_amid_surge_in_AI- generated_bug_reports⠀⇛ Despite not being truly "intelligent" or reliable for building entirely new software projects, generative AI tools have become extremely popular among the "vibe coding" crowd. However, Linux developers are now facing a growing problem as AI tools are increasingly surfacing issues in long-standing networking code. * ⚓ Open Source For U ☛ Linux_Maintainers_Target_Old_Drivers_As_AI_Reports Rise [Ed: Slop companies paid LF to participate in what now culls a lot of Linux. Microsoft led those companies.]⠀⇛ If accepted, the proposal would modify 40 files and remove more than 27,000 lines of code affecting hardware from vendors including 3Com, Novell, Cirrus Logic and Fujitsu. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ More_ancient_Linux_device_support_faces_the_chop [Ed: Microsoft paid for this; thankfully Liam Proven deliberately avoids using the term "AI"]⠀⇛ Bot-powered bug-busting is in the news of late, with scary- sounding reports of automated tools detecting flaws and vulnerabilities far faster than any unaided humans. Some of these are long-standing howlers, such as a 27-year-old bug in OpenBSD and a 23-year-old flaw in the Linux in-kernel NFS code.

The enclosure supports VESA and panel mounting with a soft foam gasket design, with access to USB, Ethernet, HDMI, and GPIO ports via an internal IO board that reroutes connections (including converting micro-HDMI to full-size HDMI), and includes cable punch-outs for clean installation. The design allows HAT expansion (when the cooling column is removed), PCIe-based M.2 NVMe storage expansion, and compatibility with various other modules. * ⚓ Hackster ☛ A_Linux-Like_OS_for_the_Arduino_UNO_-_Hackster.io⠀⇛ Sometimes it seems like single-board computers (SBCs) have all the fun in the world of embedded electronics. Sure, microcontrollers can blink LEDs, drive displays, and read sensors with the best of them — but it usually takes a complex development toolchain and a slog through mountains of C++ code to make it happen. SBCs, on the other hand, offer a full operating system that you can interact with just like on your desktop machine. That can make it much quicker and simpler to get things done. * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Pay_what_you_want_for_a_bundle_of_books_and support_the_Raspberry_Pi_Foundation⠀⇛ We’ve teamed up with Humble Bundle once again to let you name your own price for a bundle of Raspberry Pi Press e- books.

We invest more effort testing and deploying changes than making them. We call it maturity, but I’ve never stopped questioning it. There must be a way to delegate the tedium to our tools and focus on what attracted us to this field: brainstorming ideas, trying them out, and seeing their effects. But what’s missing, exactly? Decades of effort by thousands of brilliant minds have gone into the field of computing, much of it directed at closing the gap between accidental and inherent complexity. Surely some major innovation in the foundation isn’t just waiting to be discovered—wouldn’t someone have found it already? * ⚓ Sebastian Wick ☛ How_Hard_Is_It_To_Open_a_File?_-_swick's_blog⠀⇛ It’s a question I had to ask myself multiple times over the last few months. Depending on the context the answer can be: • very simple, just call the standard library function • extremely hard, don’t trust anything If you are an app developer, you’re lucky and it’s almost always the first answer. If you develop something with a security boundary which involves files in any way, the correct answer is very likely the second one. * ⚓ Bluesky Social PBC ☛ Serving_the_For_You_Feed⠀⇛ I store all data in sqlite. A key advantage of sqlite for me is testability - I can create the database in memory for unit testing purposes. I don't need to mock or fake my storage layer. The setup/teardown is instant. For querying the data, I use the excellent sqlc.dev. It is a tool that gives me full control of the queries I want to run and takes care of the boilerplate through code generation. * ⚓ GNOME ☛ Michael_Catanzaro:_git_config_am.threeWay⠀⇛ If you work with patches and git am, then you’re probably used to seeing patches fail to apply.

But those upgrades come at a cost… literally. The new Pangolin Pro laptop is available now for $1699 and up. That’s $400 more than the starting price for the version System76 launched in late 2024.

Tyler Thorsted ☛ BE_DEAD⠀⇛ If you remember the older post about Cafe Beef, you’ll appreciate the file format we explore in this post which uses using the Hex values “BE DEAD”. I guess they jinxed themselves because the software didn’t survive a refresh in 2009 and died. At one point the software was considered remarkable software being awarded 4.5 Mice by Macworld Magazine in August 2002. * ⚓ Dan Q ☛ Moving_the_Internet⠀⇛ Unfortunately, Gigaclear haven’t yet managed to fulfil their promise to reassign our static IP address to our new line, so this was swiftly followed by some DNS reconfiguration, sigh! * ⚓ Christian Hofstede-Kuhn ☛ Joining_DN42:_A_MikroTik_Border,_Three WireGuard_Peerings,_and_a_FreeBSD_Jail_in_the_Hobbyist_Internet⠀⇛ After a few months of running AS201379 on the public internet, the obvious next experiment was DN42 - the parallel, hobbyist- run BGP network that mirrors the structure of the real internet but lives entirely on private address space, glued together by WireGuard tunnels. It runs the same protocols, presents the same operational challenges, and uses many of the same configuration patterns. The difference is that you can break things at three in the morning without anyone losing access to anything important. The moment it felt real wasn’t a routing-table dump or a show ip bgp summary - it was an https:// URL that worked from somewhere it had no business working from. From a shell on the other side of the DN42 mesh: [...] * ⚓ TecMint ☛ hyperfine:_Find_Linux_Command_Execution_Time_Accurately⠀⇛ You’ve been timing commands with time for years, and it’s been lying to you, not because time is broken, but because a single run captures one data point that can spike or dip based on cache state, CPU load, or kernel scheduling. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Configuring_the_ISC_DHCP_server_to_pick_the right_network_boot_option⠀⇛ There are at least three ways that x86 machines can try to boot from the network; BIOS PXE boot, UEFI PXE boot, and UEFI HTTP boot. All of them start by the machine asking a DHCP server for what it should boot, and all of them require different answers from the DHCP server. If you want to support more than one network booting option, your DHCP server needs to give each sort of client the right answer for it, which generally means you have to tell the DHCP server how to tell the types of clients apart. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_osTicket_on_AlmaLinux_10⠀⇛ Support requests pile up fast. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Uptime_Kuma_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Monitoring your websites and services is crucial for maintaining reliability and user trust. Downtime costs businesses revenue and damages reputation. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_PhpStorm_on_openSUSE⠀⇛ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ Znew_Command_in_GNU/Linux_with_Examples⠀⇛ If you have ever inherited an old GNU/Linux server, you know the feeling. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Bitwarden_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Password reuse is still the number one reason accounts get compromised. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_SuiteCRM_on_Fedora_43⠀⇛ * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ How_to_Install_Node.js_and_npm_on_Ubuntu_26.04⠀⇛ Three ways to install Node.js and npm on Ubuntu 26.04: NodeSource repository, nvm, and default Ubuntu packages. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2377 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/25/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/25/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 25, 2026 * § Desktop/Laptop⠀➾ o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Linux_enthusiasts_swear_by_these_old_business laptops_(and_you_should_too)⠀⇛ ThinkPads: Why do they have a cult following? What do they offer that your current laptop doesn't? They're more than mere specs; for some, they're a passion. It's a strange affinity to truly love a brand of laptop, but some swear by it—and I have five reasons. ThinkPads are one of the most recognizable laptops out there. They've been around for decades and adored by many. In the Linux world, ThinkPads are renowned for their fantastic compatibility and are frequently recommended. Many Linux users vouch for them (including me). But there's more to them than just hardware compatibility, and I'll go over what makes this classic brand the perfect choice for fellow geeks. * § Graphics Stack⠀➾ o ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ More_fixes_for_Xorg_Wizard⠀⇛ I have tested it some more, and there are a lot more fixes. This is to /usr/sbin/xorgwizrd-cli and /inc/ broken-video in the initrd. * § Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 3_essential_Linux_apps_to_try_this_weekend_(April_17 -_19)⠀⇛ If your weekend plans involve doing something interesting with your Linux setup, I've done some of the legwork for you. Instead of spending three hours reading Reddit threads only to install something mediocre, here are three apps worth actually trying. One fixes cross-device file sync without touching the cloud, one makes Markdown readable in your terminal, and one turns speech into text locally without phoning home. * § Games⠀➾ o ⚓ Godot Engine ☛ Dev_snapshot:_Godot_4.7_beta_1⠀⇛ Godot 4.7 enters beta! o ⚓ Futurism ☛ Google_Exec_Says_Your_Favorite_Video_Games_Are Secretly_Made_With_AI⠀⇛ "Roughly nine out of 10 game developers told us 'yeah, we're using it.'" * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o ⚓ Darren Goossens ☛ Some_unscientific_memory_use_comparisons_for_a random_assortment_of_Linux_desktops_and_window_managers⠀⇛ So I did some very unscientific memory usage tests. I did them on a box running current Debian, even though they are really more relevant to retro machines with limited resources. First, what did I do? Well, I wanted to know how much RAM the DE/WM used before I even opened an application. I figure that an application — say, Firefox — will use around about the same amount of RAM regardless of the environment in which it is run. This may not be exactly true, because some environments will probably decorate and manage windows in different ways (that’s really DE/WM usage, but is associated with the application), but anyway that will be a small difference compared with the RAM used b a big web app like Gmail. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Kevin Wammer ☛ Installing_Rocknix_on_internal_storage⠀⇛ All you have to do is connect via SSH and type the command installtointernal. Next, you only need to follow the terminal prompts and you're done. During the install process, Rocknix will resize the Android install and nuke the data, so be aware of that. o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ Dominique Leuenberger ☛ Tumbleweed_–_Review_of_the_week 2026/17⠀⇛ Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, Week 17 has been quite active: a total of 900 requests have been accepted over the days, and 5 snapshots (0417, 0418, 0419, 0420, and 0422) have been successfully tested and published. One additional one was tested but then discarded due to a regression in grub2-bls / rollback snapshot selection. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Canonical_finally_gives_Launchpad_(a_bit_of)_a glow-up⠀⇛ Launchpad, the home of Ubuntu development, has finally received some design attention. Canonical last updated the site’s homepage back in 2024, but many of the pages that the distro’s developers actually use or reference on a regular basis have remained untouched for the best part of a decade. Now that’s starting to change. Canonical UX designer Enzo Deng has announced that the company has “begun […] a complete redesign of the series page” for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, describing it as the start of “the journey of modernizing the Launchpad user experience” (sic). ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2541 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/25/Web_Browsers_Incognito_Mode_Myths_Debunked_Firefox_Has_Quietly_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/25/Web_Browsers_Incognito_Mode_Myths_Debunked_Firefox_Has_Quietly_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Web Browsers: Incognito Mode Myths Debunked, Firefox Has Quietly Integrated Brave's Adblock Engine, Configuring Firefox⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 25, 2026 * ⚓ Bhaskar English ☛ Incognito_Mode_Myths_Debunked_|_Browsing_Privacy Truth_Revealed⠀⇛ Many people think incognito mode makes them invisible online. But the truth is much simpler and a bit surprising. While private browsing can hide some activity, it doesn’t make you anonymous on the internet. Let’s break down what incognito mode actually does and where its limits begin. o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Firefox_Has_Quietly_Integrated_Brave's_Adblock Engine⠀⇛ Mozilla shipped it in Firefox 149 without a mention in the release notes. # ⚓ KHM ☛ Configuring_Firefox⠀⇛ Now much easier thanks to preferences via policies.json! For the old instructions, which include support for Android stuff, you can read the old manual approach. Going forward, you can contribute to the maintenance of this file here. This is the bare minimum necessary to configure Firefox so that it behaves in a reasonable manner. This document was last updated on 23 April 2026 and was last tested with a clean install of Firefox 149. Thanks to those who send corrections (this means you, prahou)! ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2602 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 25 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
