How many times in the past have you escaped all the slashes in the URL or file path? Any single-byte non- alphanumeric character (other than \, " or |) will do. The same one is valid for the sed CLI. Look at the example. * § FSF / Software Freedom / Digital Sovereignty⠀➾ o ⚓ Piya Gehi ☛ Towards_a_public_homelab⠀⇛ I haven’t been able to make progress on my homelab. The setup was all local and I was mostly working on my own, so it wasn’t as fun to work on after a point. I also started overthinking parts of the setup, which is ironical since the idea of a lab is to experiment. Then I started seeing discussions around self-hosting email, and that got me thinking about how I could reframe the project. o ⚓ Yle ☛ Finland_to_keep_election_data_at_home_after_all⠀⇛ The Ministry of Justice says a new electoral information system will be hosted in a data centre in Finland. Following a competitive bidding process, the Canadian IT firm CGI was selected to supply the centre.

The quirks of this crazy contraption amazes me every time. Email is one the most successful communication technology ever built. Billions1 of emails are sent each day. More than half of it is spam, but a big chunk is transactional emails like password reset, notifications, alerts etc. Marketing campaigns which we all love to hate also contribute to 25-35%. The beauty of email is that is just works even though most people don’t know the insane complexities behind the email infrastructures. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 639 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/27/Games_New_Steam_Games_Playable_on_the_Steam_Deck_and_TTRPG.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/27/Games_New_Steam_Games_Playable_on_the_Steam_Deck_and_TTRPG.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: New Steam Games Playable on the Steam Deck and TTRPG⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 27, 2026 * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ New_Steam_Games_Playable_on_the_Steam_Deck,_with_Shapez 2_Factory_and_Vampire_Crawlers_-_2026-04-25_Edition⠀⇛ Between 2026-04-18 and 2026-04-25 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.

France’s DINUM, the central body responsible for state digital infrastructure, has formally announced it is migrating its own workstations from Windows to Linux and has mandated that all other ministries, agencies, and affiliated public bodies submit their own migration plans before autumn 2026. The scope covers an estimated 2.5 million government devices. The directive extends well beyond the operating system: cloud infrastructure, collaborative tools, and artificial intelligence platforms are all included. French budget minister David Amiel was direct about the motivation. “We can no longer accept that our data, our infrastructure, and our strategic decisions depend on solutions whose rules, pricing, and risks we do not control,” he said. That is not the language of a procurement review. It is the language of a government that has decided American tech dependence is a strategic liability. * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ Jupiter Broadcasting ☛ Back_to_Root_|_LINUX_Unplugged_664⠀⇛ After 26 years, we return to our roots and reflect on why LinuxFest Northwest is still a special event. * § Kernel Space / File Systems / Virtualization⠀➾ o ⚓ Neowin ☛ Linux_7.1_arrives_with_a_massive_NTFS_speed_boost_and the_end_of_an_era_for_i486⠀⇛ The first Linux 7.1 candidate is here, packing everything from next-gen defective chip maker Intel graphics support to game-changing NTFS performance.

It has always offered a cohesive, easy-to-navigate workspace that felt like macOS in all the right ways. It’s right up there with KDE in being one of the best desktop environments of all time. That being said, it’s not perfect. The out-of-the- box experience is lacking, to say the least, and some of the design choices remain questionable. Thankfully, GNOME does allow for the use of extensions, some of which can completely transform the user interface. Many of these I would even consider essential, given how quirky and frustrating the default workflow can often be. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § New Releases⠀➾ # ⚓ Alpine Linux ☛ 2026-04-15_[Older]_Alpine_Linux_stable releases_3.20.10,_3.21.7,_3.22.4,_3.23.4⠀⇛ o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Neowin ☛ Ubuntu_has_started_a_'complete_redesign'_of_the series_page_on_Launchpad⠀⇛ Canonical has reported started redesigning the series page of its venerable software collaboration and PPA hosting platform, Launchpad.

You can install Linux on machines with 512MB of RAM and a processor from 2008, and they work surprisingly well. However, that doesn’t mean all Linux distros work equally well on aging, low-powered hardware. You see, there are some distros that are specifically optimized for old and weak hardware. Likewise, there are also performance-oriented distros that are more concerned with giving you a polished, full- featured experience—an experience that’s only possible on more modern and capable hardware. Ubuntu firmly falls in the second camp—and it’s one of the most bloated and demanding distros out there.

At first, I was terrified of it; I thought I was one superuser command away from wiping my operating system. Then, once I had gained confidence in using it, I wanted to use it all the time.

This is a tool that I personally use and have on all my computers, so this feels like a wake up call to me. Luckily I did not install the compromised version myself, but I think there is an argument to be made about rolling your own secret management client instead of relying on the one all the hackers are after! In this article I'll share how the encryption of secrets works in Bitwarden and its Vaultwarden clone. I'll also include working Python code, in case you want to tinker with this and like myself, would be interested in building your own tooling to keep your secrets safe. * ⚓ Jason Becker ☛ Building_My_Own_Reverb_Watchlist⠀⇛ For someone who can program, I have so few personal uses.

As part of this effort I spent a considerable amount of time designing, implementing, and optimising our own C++ tracing client library, as the official one has too much overhead. My goal was for the latency impact per component to stay under 5% so both developers and users would feel comfortable leaving traces always on in production; this translated to a budget of about 50–100 ns (a few hundred clock cycles) per span. * ⚓ Riki Moe ☛ Lua_can_be_a_really_cool_HTML_templating_engine⠀⇛ It’s a pretty cool language. It is also one of my favourite programming languages, for which I made a case in a past blog post.

Today, I’d like to focus on its Lisp-like aspect: domain specific languages (DSLs)—specifically, we will use it to build a templating language for HTML. But first, let me set some background. * ⚓ WolfSSL ☛ Why_C_Remains_the_Gold_Standard_for_Cryptographic_Software⠀⇛ Even in memory-safe languages, logic errors and exception- handling mistakes remain common.

Use Linux, BSD. — When I first heard about ENux I was excited by the concept. I greatly enjoy Bedrock Linux and what the project does - merging multiple distributions into one, easily managed form. Bedrock is essentially solving the same problem as containers (like Distrobox) with less work to set up and maintain it. However, it can take a while to get accustomed to Bedrock and how to set it up, so having a distribution which ships with Bedrock baked into the operating system from the beginning sounded like a great idea. I read the ENux website and discovered it had almost no useful information about what the operating system does or how it works, which was a bit worrying. I tried looking up information on ENux and discovered every article or "review" I could find of the distribution either had no more information than the website or was clearly written by a LLM spewing out review-like phrases and hype with no idea of what ENux was or how the operating system worked.
