In March, Swedish private equity biz EQT – which spun out SUSE from US group Micro Focus in 2018 for $2.5 billion – reportedly commissioned Arma Partners to examine the open source provider's options. This is still at the early stages, but any sale to a US buyer would put a dent in SUSE's European digital sovereignty credentials. The Register asked SUSE CEO Dirk-Peter van Leeuwen at SUSECON what sovereignty means given the potential acquisition. "SUSE, in its nature, is a European company. We are registered in Europe, everything is in Europe. If we get acquired by another shareholder, even if the shareholder would be American, we are still a European company with shareholders in America. But we are operating according to European laws. That's all I can say about it other than it's all speculation.

I’m aware of a similar npm supply-chain risk with Gobbler, though I am using both Dependabot and Socket.dev to mitigate it. * ⚓ Andrew Shell ☛ My_Take_on_WordPress_Social_(Blurt)⠀⇛ The first thing I noticed is a section that supports importing your posts from existing social media sites. It supports X, Bluesky, and Mastodon. I think this is new, because on an existing WordPress site, these are not listed under the normal WordPress import, which lists things like Blogger and LiveJournal. * ⚓ Kian Ryan ☛ Hosting_on_Mythic_Beasts⠀⇛ This site is now hosted on Mythic Beasts, away from GitHub Static Page hosting. That gives us the freedom to do things that we couldn’t do previously, such as host plain text versions of our blog pages. * ⚓ Kian Ryan ☛ Plaintext_pages_in_Jekyll⠀⇛ I started looking into providing the same here and realised that I couldn’t do that while using GitHub pages, so took the opportunity to migrate the site to Mythic Beasts. Adding plain text to jekyll needs a couple of additional files, and a change to the config file. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 399 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/29/Development_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/29/Development_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Development Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 29, 2026 * ⚓ Jonathan_Almeida:_Rebase_all_WIPs_to_the_latest_upstream_head⠀⇛ A small pet-peeve with fetching the latest main on jujutsu is that I like to move all my WIP patches to the new one. That's also nice because jj doesn't make me fix the conflicts immediately! * ⚓ Kiran Chauhan ☛ Let's_Build_Image_Viewer⠀⇛ This is the first article in the series of the articles where are are going to build Image viewer - imager. The idea is simple, we will create a minimal image viewer program and then extend the functionalities of it via "extension articles". Let's see how things will go! I'll update the following list as I publish the article(s) in this series. * ⚓ Kevin McDonald ☛ Building_APIs_with_Contracts⠀⇛ Imagine a real-world scenario where the backend team renames a userId field to user_id and deploys their changes. Instantly, the frontend checkout process breaks in production because the API had no strict enforcement to catch the mismatch. This is where contract-based APIs come in. A contract-based API is one where the schema is defined first in a formal specification, and both client and server are generated or validated against that contract. They reduce ambiguity and enforce consistency across services. * ⚓ Jonas Hietala ☛ Moving_private_repositories_to_Bitbucket⠀⇛ Long overdue, I recently moved my private repositories from Github to Bitbucket. Github is great of course and they even gave me a free students account and I still host all my public repositories there. Still, Bitbucket has unlimited free private repositories for up to 5 users which is a much better pricing model. And Bitbucket is pretty awesome as well, they’re posting a lot on hacker news, my favourite place on the web. That’s where the final push came from anyway. * ⚓ Jonas Hietala ☛ From_GitHub_to_Codeberg/Forgejo⠀⇛ One part of my GitHub aversion is me being anti the big American tech corporations for ideological reasons. I’d like to reduce my usage and dependence of Google/Facebook/Apple/ Microsoft/Amazon etc where I can and moving away from GitHub fits that goal nicely. The other reason is GitHub’s enshittification. GitHub has been slow and slightly buggy for years and it’s not getting better. They push out badly planned features while shipping this kind of code in GitHub actions runner: [...] * ⚓ Buttondown LLC ☛ Illegal_vs_Unwanted_States_•_Buttondown⠀⇛ An illegal state is a state we never want our system to be in. An unwanted state is a state we don't want to stay in. Many states that we wish were illegal are actually unwanted. * ⚓ Ted Nyman ☛ High_Performance_Git⠀⇛ Git looks like a version-control tool. It is also a content- addressed database, a filesystem cache, a graph walker, and a transfer protocol. This book is about those layers and the performance costs of each one. It starts with objects, refs, the index, and history traversal, then moves outward into packfiles, maintenance, sparse working trees, partial clone, transport, repository scale, diagnosis, configuration, and recovery. It is written for engineers who need Git to stay fast as repositories, histories, and teams get larger: build and CI engineers, monorepo owners, developer-experience teams, and the people who wind up debugging strange Git behavior when the easy explanations stop working. * ⚓ Abhijith_PA:_Patience_could've_saved_me_time.⠀⇛ If I had been patient, it would have saved me time. One such instance is following. From my early blogs, you might know I am using mutt to do email. Just after I get along with mutt, I started using notmuch. Because limit search in mutt is always a pain when you have multiple folders. And what better tool out there than notmuch-mutt to bind both these. * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ March_2026_Top_40_New_CRAN_Packages⠀⇛ Three hundred seventy-one of the new packages submitted to CRAN in March were still there in mid-April.

And I can't code with GitHub anymore. I'm sorry. After 18 years, I've got to go. I'd love to come back one day, but this will have to be predicated on real results and improvements, not words and promises. I'll share more details about where the Ghostty project will be moving to in the coming months. We have a plan but I'm also very much still in discussions with multiple providers (both commercial and FOSS). * ⚓ Armin Ronacher ☛ Before_GitHub⠀⇛ That is why I find what is happening to GitHub today so sad and so disappointing. I do not look at it as just the folks at Microsoft making product decisions I dislike. GitHub was part of the social infrastructure of Open Source for a very long time. For many of us, it was not merely where the code lived; it was where a large part of the community lived. * ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ GitHub_Actions_is_the_weakest_link⠀⇛ Pick almost any open source supply chain incident from the past eighteen months and trace it back, and you end up reading a .github/workflows YAML file. Ultralytics shipping a crypto miner to PyPI, the nx packages that turned thousands of developer machines into credential harvesters, tj-actions leaking secrets from 23,000 repositories, Trivy getting compromised twice in three weeks, elementary-data publishing a malicious wheel ten minutes after a stranger left a GitHub comment. Different headline payloads, different victims, and in each case a GitHub Actions feature behaving exactly as documented. I wrote in December about the narrow problem of Actions being a package manager with no lockfile, no integrity hashes and no transitive visibility, and that the uses: line is a dependency declaration that the runner re-resolves on every execution against mutable git tags. That argument still stands and has since been demonstrated rather thoroughly in production, but it’s only one face of a larger problem. * ⚓ GnuPG ☛ Bikeshedding_while_the_world_burns⠀⇛ Around 1997, Sun Microsystems hauled Microsoft in court over the Java virtual machine (JVM) Microsoft was shipping with new versions of Windows. Microsoft had entered an agreement with Sun to ship a JVM that fully complied with Sun's compatibility tests, but they failed to honor this promise. They insisted they were doing the right thing for their users, which may have well been true -- but "best for our users" was not the same as "best for Java users". I'm told that after Microsoft lost this lawsuit they decided to embrace C# and the Common Language Runtime as sort of a "Java that we control." Java and C# started off as very similar languages but drifted apart over time; likewise with their virtual machines. I am afraid GnuPG is soon going to be a retelling of this story. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 701 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/29/Events_Education_Professionals_Hackaday_Europe_TuxCon_and_FOSDE.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/29/Events_Education_Professionals_Hackaday_Europe_TuxCon_and_FOSDE.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Events/Education: Professionals, Hackaday Europe, TuxCon, and FOSDEM⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 29, 2026 * ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Professional_development:_How_to_stay_ahead_in_a_fast- changing_subject⠀⇛ Professional development is vital for anyone teaching computing.

These images fit into your existing workflow and tools with minimal disruption and act as drop-in replacements for other container images you might be used to, such as those from Docker Hub. But Project Hummingbird container images are distroless. What does this mean, exactly? Do distroless containers provide benefits beyond standard container images based on popular GNU/ Linux distributions such as Debian, Alpine, and Red Bait Enterprise Linux? Do they miss anything?

It is usually not until it is too late, when a controller in production has already taken incorrect action, that staleness is found to be an issue due to some underlying assumption made by the controller author. Some issues caused by staleness include controllers taking incorrect actions, controllers not taking action when they should, and controllers taking too long to take action. I am excited to announce that Kubernetes v1.36 includes new features that help mitigate staleness in controllers and provide better observability into controller behavior. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1136 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/29/Games_DIY_Steam_Machine_Bazzite_and_SteamOS.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/29/Games_DIY_Steam_Machine_Bazzite_and_SteamOS.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: DIY "Steam Machine", Bazzite, and SteamOS⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 29, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Bazzite⦈_ * ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ I_built_my_own_Steam_Machine,_and_I_love_it⠀⇛ Valve's mid-November 2025 Steam Machine whipped gamers into a frenzy, only for the company to be rather coy with the release date. Valve is confident the revival of the Steam Machine, and the follow-up to the wildly popular Steam Deck, will hit our shelves in 2026... at some point. But I can't wait that long. I decided to take matters into my own hands and revamp a gaming laptop into a sleek but powerful Steam Machine tablet. I know; I feel your eyes rolling. But stick with me, because my homebrew Steam Machine tablet is serving me well, and is also one of the most fun DIY hardware projects I've done in a while. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Bazzite_turned_my_second_PC_into_a_console,_and_SteamOS_never felt_this_polished_on_the_desktop⠀⇛ It’s funny to think how Linux was once considered the worst operating system for gaming, but then SteamOS came along. It deserves a lot of credit for not just making Linux gaming viable, but actually fun. The problem is, SteamOS is optimized for handhelds, so the experience isn’t quite the same on desktop hardware. If you’re a PC gamer, you still end up living with Windows. I did that for the longest time, until recently, when I decided to try Bazzite. It follows in SteamOS’s footsteps to make Linux great for gaming, and in some cases, it even outshines it. It has turned my second PC into a console, and the overall experience is so polished that SteamOS doesn’t even come close. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I’ve_been_running_SteamOS_on_a_non-Steam_mini_PC,_and_it_makes_a better_living_room_console_than_I_expected⠀⇛ The most recent video game console I bought is the Xbox One. No, not the Series S, nor the X, the original Xbox One. It's a solid workhorse that saw very little use as a TV tuner box and a console. I primarily play games on PC and have done so for decades, but I have fond memories of the Xbox and 360, as well as the OG PlayStation and earlier Game Boys. That led me down the rabbit hole of emulation, but I still have a huge Steam library of games to get through, which is where the big screen could help out with. I set up a mini PC with Batocera, and it's an absolute rocket, comfortably playing through Xbox and PlayStation 2 titles, as well as countless PC titles. But with the Steam Machine out, I thought about loading SteamOS on another mini PC to play around with it, see how it performed (with relatively mediocre specifications), and whether it's better to run SteamOS or Batocera for a mix of vintage and current gaming. So, I dusted off my Minisforum U850 with its beastly Intel i5-10210U processor. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 8GB_graphics_cards_aren’t_the_problem,_your_operating system_is⠀⇛ Many of the modern-day AAA games cannot be played at their maximum graphical settings on GPUs with 8GB VRAM.

A lot of apps come over from other platforms, but it's pretty rare for a macOS app to make its way over to Linux, especially one that uses a GUI and has been exclusively on Apple's platform for years.

While there are many popular desktop environments like KDE, XFCE, GNOME, and more, nothing excites me more than COSMIC. I've tried numerous distros, each with one of the above-mentioned desktop environments or a custom/personalized one, but COSMIC is poles apart from them. Pop!_OS ditched GNOME for COSMIC and now ships with it as a default desktop environment. It's a desktop environment that adopts modern technologies, is actually superior in performance, supports adequate customization, can handle tiling and floating windows, and doesn't look out of place. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Paul Thurrott ☛ Switcher_2026:_Ubuntu_26.04_⭐️ [Ed: Microsofter reviewing "Linux"]⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1652 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/29/GNU_Linux_Myths_and_Sceptics_of_GNU_Linux_on_the_Desktop_Laptop.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/29/GNU_Linux_Myths_and_Sceptics_of_GNU_Linux_on_the_Desktop_Laptop.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux Myths and Sceptics of GNU/Linux on the Desktop/Laptop⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 29, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Linux_desktop⦈_ * ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ These_4_Linux_myths_kept_me_from_trying_it_for_years⠀⇛ We have a lot of folks here on the MUO team that love and adore Linux like it was their firstborn child. There are many, many reasons to love the operating system, but even in 2026, there are some strange myths that make Linux feel like this mythical being that requires a degree in Linuxology to understand how to use it. I'll be the first to admit that I fell for many of these myths for far too long. But after using Linux on a Chromebook that I converted into a Home Assistant server, I've learned that it's an incredibly competent operating system. You don't need to hack the mainframe to change your wallpaper, as the memes say, and I'm sad that it took me this long to realize Linux is actually incredible for most daily tasks. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_regret_switching_to_Linux,_even_though_I_wanted_to_love_it⠀⇛ For as long as I can remember, Linux has been considered the golden goose for tech enthusiasts. Back in my university days, I started to toy around with Ubuntu, but I never dedicated as much time to it as I could have. I decided to give it another go recently, lured by the promises of an open-source operating system that required minimal system resources. And while I tried to love Linux, I just couldn't bring myself to use it as my daily driver for several reasons. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_stopped_recommending_most_Linux_desktops,_and_here’s_what_I tell_people_to_use_instead⠀⇛ Whenever someone decides to make the switch to Linux, they're immediately faced with the burden of choosing which distribution and which desktop environment to use. I've always had several distro recommendations at the ready, depending on the type of person who was adopting Linux: Linux Mint for casual Windows users, Ubuntu for people that want things to just work, and Arch Linux for power users that want maximum control. Fedora and some others are also safe choices for most people. I used to approach desktop environments with that same level of nuance: Xfce for minimalists, Cinnamon for Windows refugees, and KDE or GNOME as solid picks for pretty much anyone. But I've simplified that advice recently and consolidated my recommendations to KDE and GNOME only. The gap between these two desktop giants and the less popular choices has done nothing but widen over the last few years, and I don't feel confident recommending the niche options anymore. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⢀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣼⣿⡟⠻⣿⣿⠅⠀⢈⣸⣦⣥⣥⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⡂⠀⢠⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠠⠀⠤⠄⠄⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⢠⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⣤⣴⣶⡆⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣈⡿⠀⠀⠀⡈⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⡀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⡿⡙⣿⣿⣿⠓⠻⠟⠀⠀⢣⠿⢹⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⣨⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣽⡆⢀⣧⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⠀⣸⡟⠉⣙⡄⢨⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡈⢹⠟⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠠⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣷⣿⣶⣜⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠻⡀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠙⣯⣄⠐⠂⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⢈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡷⠀⠀⡻⠿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀ ⢂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡋⠛⣛⣋⣁⣀⣙⣁⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠿⢿⢋⣛⡛⣋⣐⣛⠀⠀⠐⠛⠘⠿⠿⠿⠾⠟⢏⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣧⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠉⠙⠛⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⡀⠦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣯⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣷⡄⠱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠘⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⢿⢿⣿⡿⣿⣿⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣄⠈⢂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢰⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⢤⠤⠤⡅⠀⠀⠀⢨⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠈⢿⣿⣧⡀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠻⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣼⢹⣅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠙⠛⢿⢿⠿⡿⡟⣋⣉⢛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⡇⡟⠻⣿⡟⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⣦⣤⣤⣬⣬⣴⣴⣛⣓⣓⣋⡊⠚⠁⠃⣠⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠙⠏⠹⠙⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠟⠹⠻⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠁ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1752 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/29/Hardware_and_Home_labbing_Proxmox_TrueNAS_and_More_NAS_Modding.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/29/Hardware_and_Home_labbing_Proxmox_TrueNAS_and_More_NAS_Modding.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Hardware and Home-labbing: Proxmox, TrueNAS, and More NAS Modding⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 29, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Proxmox⦈_ * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_picked_Proxmox_over_TrueNAS_Scale_for_my_home_lab,_and_I’d_make the_same_choice_today⠀⇛ They each have their strengths, but Proxmox is far better for my use case When I decided to turn my old gaming rig into a home lab, I was looking to take the routes most traveled. I wanted a free OS that'd enable me to run services on a standard set of ATX hardware, and two names rose to the top: TrueNAS Scale and Proxmox. Both were free and had features that I had wanted. I tried TrueNAS Scale first, as the UI looked a bit friendlier, but it didn't last a day on my machine. It wasn't a bad OS, but its limitations led me to switch to Proxmox, and months later, I'd make the same call without hesitation. * ⚓ XDA ☛ TrueNAS_26_isn’t_trying_to_be_Proxmox,_but_it's_getting_awfully close_for_homelab_users⠀⇛ For years, TrueNAS and Proxmox have been seen as two different tools for two different jobs. TrueNAS is the operating system you install when storage is the priority, with ZFS underneath and a feature set built for keeping data intact across drive failures, bitrot, and everything else that can go wrong with spinning drives. Proxmox, on the other hand, is the hypervisor of choice for running virtual machines and LXC containers, backed by a clustering and high availability story that's quietly been the backbone of countless homelabs. It's not uncommon to run TrueNAS inside of a Proxmox VM, so long as you do your drive passthroughs correctly. But with TrueNAS 26, those lines are getting blurrier than they've ever been before. The latest beta from iXsystems brings LXC containers, high availability for those containers, GPU passthrough, and a web UI that keeps inching closer to the kind of dashboard you'd expect from a hypervisor-first platform. It's not a rebrand, and iXsystems would almost certainly never phrase it this way, but if you squint, TrueNAS 26 feels like a response to the homelab users who have been deploying Proxmox alongside their NAS for years. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ How_I_run_my_entire_homelab_on_Docker_(and_why_you_should too)⠀⇛ When it comes to homelabbing, there are a lot of services and apps you might want to run. While installing them individually is an option, I chose to go the Docker route instead—and there's no going back. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Stop_treating_Proxmox’s_firewall_like_an_optional_feature_—_it's your_lab's_clearest_safety_net⠀⇛ For a long time, I treated Proxmox's built-in firewall like one of those features that sound responsible but feel optional. I knew it was there, I knew plenty of people used it, and I still left it off because my setup already seemed manageable. Most of my services sat behind my router, a few were tucked away behind other layers of access control, and I figured that was enough. In my head, turning on yet another firewall was just adding one more thing that could break without giving me much back. What changed my mind wasn't some dramatic security scare or a major outage. It was the gradual realization that "probably fine" isn't the same thing as being intentional, especially in a home lab where services have a habit of multiplying. One container turns into five, one VM becomes a small stack, and before long, you're relying more on memory than policy. Once I finally enabled Proxmox's firewall and spent time with it, I realized I'd been underselling it badly. It's not just a box to tick for peace of mind, because it gives structure to a setup that can otherwise get messy fast. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Your_old_laptop_is_a_decent_entry-level_Proxmox_server_–_if_you respect_its_limits⠀⇛ Building a self-hosting workstation out of old hardware is the best way to revitalize your aged computing companions, and I say that as someone who uses multiple outdated systems as Proxmox servers in my home lab. Although I typically opt for thin clients, cheap mini-PCs, and dinosaur gaming PCs when setting up experimentation rigs for my DIY projects, Proxmox is light enough to run on practically every x86 machine in my arsenal, including something as ancient as a cheap laptop from 2014! * ⚓ XDA ☛ Email_alerts_in_Proxmox_saved_me_from_discovering_backup_failures weeks_too_late⠀⇛ Like many others, I've made Proxmox the heart of my home lab/ NAS setup, and while I end up working in my TrueNAS VM more often than Proxmox itself, it's still important to make sure everything is backed up and working as intended. And whenever something is automated, it's easy to forget to check and make sure it's still working. And really, you shouldn't have to. Proxmox can notify you whenever something doesn't work, so you can rest easy. The problem is, it doesn't do that by default, so I had to go in and do it myself. Here's how I did it, and you should too. * ⚓ XDA ☛ The_best_NAS_distro_dropped_a_public_beta_for_its_new_update,_and it_feels_more_like_Proxmox_with_each_release⠀⇛ I’ve been rocking both TrueNAS and Proxmox in my home lab, with both platforms fulfilling their own roles. The former powers my local and remote Network-Attached Storage servers, houses most of my network shares, and runs services that tend to be on the data-hoarding side of the spectrum. Meanwhile, Proxmox Virtual Environment and its complementary first-party tools are responsible for hosting most of my FOSS tools, virtual machines, and other wacky virtual guests I use for typical home server projects. That said, there has been a lot of overlap between the two platforms as of late, even though they’re technically designed for different workloads. TrueNAS, in particular, has begun adding new features centered around virtual guest management, with the public beta for version 26 cementing its position as a rock-solid home server platform – one that’s as good at deploying containers as it is at backing up files and hoarding TBs of data. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Don’t_swap_Docker_for_Proxmox's_OCI_support_yet_—_the_missing pieces_matter_more_than_the_promise⠀⇛ Proxmox has always been one of those platforms that makes me want to tinker first and justify it later. When Proxmox VE 9.1 added native OCI image support, that itch got even worse. The pitch is immediately appealing because it sounds like the cleanest possible shortcut. Pull an OCI image, spin it up from the Proxmox interface, and skip some of the ceremony that usually comes with standing up containerized services. That promise is real enough to be exciting, but it’s also exactly why I would argue that it probably isn’t ready for your home lab yet. This isn’t Docker magically living inside Proxmox with all the creature comforts people expect. It’s Proxmox taking OCI images and converting them into its own LXC-based model, and that distinction starts to matter the second you get past the first successful deployment. I like where this feature is headed, but right now it still feels more like a lab bench than a finished appliance. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⢻⣷⣬⣷⣾⠁⢿⠋⠀⠀⡀⢨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⠩⡾⠿⠅⠙⠃⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⠇⠀⡈⠉⠁⢡⡘⡾⡀⢢⣶⣍⢈⣐⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠻⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢻⣿⣿⢟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⡇⠀⠀⠂⠈⠁⠒⣦⣬⣿⣿⡅⠿⡕⠢⢄⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡶⣥⡀⢰⢠⡀⠀⠀⠉⠃⢸⣿⣹⣿⣿⣿⡿⠹⣏⡔⠛⠃⢦⣀⡻⠻⣿⣟⣿⡧⠀⠃⢠⡉⠈⠉⢻⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠏⠃⠘⠃⠉⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⠉⡈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⣭⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡿⢏⣹⣏⣸⣿⣿⣿ ⢚⠳⠾⡛⠏⠻⡌⠛⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⡟⢿⣿⢿⡼⠃⠛⠛⠻⠍⢻⡿⣿ ⠼⢧⠐⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠈⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠙⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠆⠀⠰⢾ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘ ⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⡠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢠⡄⠀⡄⠀⠀⠡⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⢈⠁⠀⠀⠫⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣀⣶⣶⣤⣀⡀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⣀⣠ ⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⡄⠾⠷ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣷⡾⣷⣅⡿⣥⠋⠟⠳⠀⠐⢼ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢄⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠺⠛⠿⠿⠌⠀⡰⠤⢠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠈ ⠀⠀⡄⢠⠶⠖⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⣄⣿⣴⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⢠⣤⣾⣄⣀⣠ ⠖⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣛⢋⣉⣸⣿⡟⢿⠿⣿⣴⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢐⠰⢉⠀⠉⠛⠉⢟⠁ ⠀⡠⠖⢠⣾⣧⣄⣼⡟⠿⠏⠉⣱⣮⣀⠛⠿⠯⠤⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⢛⣋⢉⡉⠉⡩⢡⠠⢰⡆⠀⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠺⠂⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⢀ ⠉⠀⠀⢀⡻⠟⢻⡟⠀⠀⡰⠷⠾⠿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠠⡦⢰⠦⠾⠇⠘⠀⠉⠀⠀⠈⠉⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣤⣄⠀⠀⣤⣄⡤⢤⣀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⡤⠤⠶⠶⠒⠂⠂⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⢲⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⡿⢟⣀⡼⠻⠿⠃⠀⡀⠀⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⢀⣠⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⡾⠿⠿⠿⠛⠩⠙⠛⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀ ⣼⣤⠥⢟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡯⠈⠟⠉⢰⣾⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠋⠉⠋⠩⠍⠁⠀⠀⢀⠈⠀⡀⠀⠀⠄⠠⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠁⡈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢧⠀⠀⠀⠠⠠⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠈⠉⠴⠀⠀⡁⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⢀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⡂⠠⠀⠄⢐⡐⠒⠈⠄⠀⠙⡀⠃⠀⠄⢀⠈⢀⣂⡘⠀⠄⢨⠀⢂⢰⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠈⢐⡺⣮⠻⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣟⠀⠀⠈⡅⢠⠀⠀⠨⠄⢀⢀⣂⣠⡤⠥⢴⣀⢖⢺⣶⣋⠈⣕⣧⠐⠾⠧⠸⠛⢃⢈⠉⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠳⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠠⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣷⠤⠤⠄⠓⢲⠀⣉⠉⡍⠰⠄⢂⠛⠟⢰⠑⣛⣚⢈⠡⠭⢦⠀⢐⣲⡀⠉⡉⡄⠰⠄⠄⠐⠀⢀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⡄⠀⠀⠀⠄⢀⠠⠀ ⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣯⠁⠶⡦⠀⣾⣿⣿⠠⠄⠀⠀⣀⣔⡈⠠⠧⠄⣖⣚⢲⢈⣭⡹⠀⠶⠆⠆⠚⠫⢃⣈⣛⡳⠄⠤⠐⠒⢒⠈⠄⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1963 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/29/Linux_Centric_Devices_and_Open_Hardware_Projects.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/29/Linux_Centric_Devices_and_Open_Hardware_Projects.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Linux-Centric Devices and Open Hardware Projects⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 29, 2026 * § Devices⠀➾ o ⚓ Security Week ☛ Electric_Motorcycles_and_Scooters_Face_Hacking Risks_to_Security_and_Rider_Safety⠀⇛ Researchers at Bureau Veritas Cybersecurity discovered that electric motorcycles from US-based Zero Motorcycles are affected by a vulnerability that could allow an attacker to connect to a vehicle over Bluetooth. The security hole, tracked as CVE-2026-1354, affects firmware version 44 and earlier. o ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ NanoPC-T6_Plus_brings_RK3588_to_compact_SBC_with dual_2.5GbE⠀⇛ FriendlyElec has introduced the NanoPC-T6 Plus, a compact single-board computer built around the Rockchip RK3588 processor. The platform integrates an octa-core CPU, LPDDR5 memory, and multiple high-speed interfaces, supporting applications such as edge computing, networking, and multimedia processing. o ⚓ Thibault_Martin:_TIL_that_Yubikeys_are_convenient_for_GNU/Linux login⠀⇛ I got myself a Yubikey recently, and I wanted to use it as a nice convenience to: [...] * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ MoreSense_MS-07_–_An_ESP32-S3_indoor_air_quality monitor_with_SEN66_multisensor_and_Home_Assistant_support⠀⇛ MoreSense MS-07 indoor air quality monitor is built around the Sensirion SEN66 multisensor, powered by an ESP32-S3 microcontroller, and features a 3.5-inch capacitive IPS touchscreen for local data visualization and control. The MS-07 is a direct upgrade to the earlier MS-06, replacing the Sensirion SCD40 used for basic CO₂, temperature, and humidity measurement with the more advanced Sensirion SEN66 multisensor, which adds support for PM1.0, PM2.5, PM4.0, PM10, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Rockchip_RK3326-S_quad-core_Cortex-A35_SBC_targets smart_audio_devices⠀⇛ Boardcon EM3326S is a single board computer powered by a Rockchip RK3326-S quad-core Cortex-A35 processor paired with up to 4GB LPDDR4 memory and 128GB eMMC flash. With a 3.5mm audio jack and a speaker connector, Fast Ethernet, WiFi, and Bluetooth connectivity, the company says the board mainly targets smart audio applications. But it could certainly be used for a wider range of applications with RGB LCD and MIPI DSI display interfaces, MIPI CSI and DVP camera interfaces, an RS485 terminal block, a mini PCIe socket plus a SIM card slot for 4G LTE connectivity, and more. o ⚓ Arduino ☛ Power_Pet:_a_VR_companion_at_your_side⠀⇛ What if your virtual pet wasn’t just pixels on a screen, but something you could actually reach out and touch? o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ What_a_difference_two_years_make?_Comparing_SBC prices_in_2024_and_2026⠀⇛ Looking back, 2024 feels like a golden year for single board computers, as the increasing price of RAM (and storage and other components) since late 2025 due to the Hey Hi (AI) demand has made those much less attractive, price/performance ratio-wise. We’ve already documented Raspberry Pi SBC price hikes, and after several increases, the Raspberry Pi 5 16GB went from $120 to $305, or a 154% change in price. o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ ESP32-C5-WIFI6-KIT_dual-band_WiFi_IoT_board_offers up_to_32MB_flash,_8MB_PSRAM,_onboard_or_external_WiFi_antenna⠀⇛ Waveshare ESP32-C5-WIFI6-KIT development kit looks similar to the official Espressif Systems ESP32-C5- DevkitC-1 board, but offers a wider range of options, including different PSRAM and flash capacities, and onboard or external antenna selection. While the official devkit ships with 8MB PSRAM, 4MB SPI flash, and a PCB antenna, the Waveshare board is offered with up to 8MB PSRAM, 16MB or 32MB flash, and either a PCB and external antennas. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Can_You_3D_Print_A_Pinball_Machine_That’s_Fun_To Play?⠀⇛ It seems fair to say that pinball machines are among the most universally loved gaming systems known today, yet the full-sized ones are both very expensive and very large, while even the good quality table-sized ones tend to be on the expensive side. That raises the question of whether a fully 3D printed pinball machine could at all be fun and not just feel like a cheapo toy? A recent video by [Steven] from [3D Printer Academy] on YouTube makes here a compelling argument that it might actually be worth something to consider. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_Tube_Amplifier_That’s_Oven_Ready⠀⇛ The problem with tube based audio is that it has so often been hijacked by people for whom the bragging rights of having a tube amplifier outweigh the benefits, or the sheer fun of building the thing. [Bettina Neumryr] makes a speciality of building projects featured in old electronics magazines, and her latest, a tube amplifier from 1955, is a fantastic antidote to the gold-plated silliness of audiophile tube amplifiers. o ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Commodore_releases_the_64C_Ultimate!⠀⇛ I love a good synchronicity! I was literally just talking about the Commodore 64 longboard I bought locally, and how much fun it’s been restoring, testing, and building it into my Aldi 64 shell, not to mention comparing it with my 64C shortboard. Now we have some news that I’m frankly giddy about. o ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Playing_audio_files_on_a_hi-fi⠀⇛ This leads me to wonder where to go from here. If you’ll forgive the pun, I can see two tracks: • A web browser on the TV, upon which we can access a Navidrome install. Navidrome has really grown on me, but for now I’m only using it to access our music collection remotely via our family VPN. That would make the most logical sense, but lacks the “tactile” experience. • A hardware hi-fi jukebox of some sort. Something with an internal hard drive I can rip out and replace with an SSD when they’re not a billion dollars again. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2146 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/29/LWN_Remembering_Seth_Nickell_and_In_Memoriam_Tomas_Kalibera.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/29/LWN_Remembering_Seth_Nickell_and_In_Memoriam_Tomas_Kalibera.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ LWN: Remembering Seth Nickell and In Memoriam: Tomáš Kalibera⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 29, 2026 * ⚓ Remembering_Seth_Nickell⠀⇛ LWN has received the sad news that Seth Nickell passed away, on April 16, from his father, Eric Nickell: Many of you knew Seth from his work in the GNOME Usability Project, but his roots in that community trace back to his high school years. As a father of a high school junior, I remember being terrified when he flashed the hard drive of a computer he purchased for himself with this weird "Linux" thing. And I was a bit awed by the college application essay he wrote about open source and Linus Torvalds. It was his interest in packet radio that drew him into working with the Linux AX.25 HOWTO as a high schooler, and from there to his focus on making the Linux desktop work for everyone. The family plans to share news of a memorial at a later time. He will be deeply missed. * ⚓ In_Memoriam:_Tomáš_Kalibera⠀⇛ We have received the sad news that Tomáš Kalibera, a member of the R Project core team, has passed away after a short illness. A friend who knew him well wrote to me: he was very happy, and his work fulfilled him. That is, perhaps, the best thing one can say about a life in open source — that the work mattered, that it reached millions, and that the person who did it found meaning in it. Kalibera was mentioned in this 2019 article about C programs passing strings to Fortran subroutines.

I get a cone, put a dollop of vanilla ice cream onto it, and hand it over. The alien gives the ice cream a lick, says it doesn't like the flavor, and then states that, as a result, ice cream just isn't for them. Of course, people wouldn't allow the alien to believe that all ice creams taste bad because it didn't like the vanilla flavor; instead, they'd recommend different flavors of ice creams and all the different forms it can take until the alien finds the one it likes the most. Linux is very much the same. There are a ton of different 'flavors' of Linux, and each distro can use a wide range of desktop environments that change things up even more. However, people giving Linux a try will sometimes give one distro a try, dislike it, and then chalk it up as a Linux-wide problem. The problem is, most of the time, a problem with Linux is actually a problem with the distro, but people aren't sticking around long enough to realise that.

You open Grafana, stare at 14 panels of time-series data, and try to answer one deceptively simple question: Is anything wrong? Dashboards are excellent at displaying data. They are far less effective at conveying meaning. As Red Bait OpenShift clusters grow with dozens of namespaces, GPU-accelerated Hey Hi (AI) workloads, and vLLM inference services, the gap between what the metrics say and how you should act widens. Platform teams end up mentally stitching together CPU utilization graphs, pod restart counts, GPU temperatures, and request queue depths.

As we look toward 2026, however, the paradigm has shifted. Sovereignty is no longer just a technical umbrella, it is a framework for strategic agency. It's the difference between an organization that drives its own digital future and one that is merely a passenger on a vendor’s roadmap. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Scaling_financial_services_with_a_strategic automation_foundation⠀⇛ VyStar’s growth had historically been supported by manual efforts that worked well but were becoming increasingly difficult to sustain as the organization scaled. To match the customer experience offered by its competitors, VyStar needed to modernize its backend infrastructure. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Building_a_hardened,_image-based_foundation_for_AI agents [Ed: IBM Red Hat pumping out slop propaganda]⠀⇛ To run any application in containers, you typically craft a Dockerfile, build an image, push it to a registry, pull it somewhere else, and run it. fedora-bootc takes that same ubiquitous workflow and extends it across entire operating systems.  * ⚓ Help Net Security ☛ Linux_storage_management_tool_Stratis_3.9.0_adds online_encryption_and_cache-less_pool_startup_-_Help_Net_Security⠀⇛ Stratis is a tool for configuring pools and filesystems with enhanced storage functionality within the existing Linux storage management stack. It focuses on a command-line interface, an API, and an automated approach to storage management.

Slop is notorious for sounding authoritative and confident (good grammar at the very least), Google's slop also provides citations, but then there are "hallucinations" (faults, errors, mistakes, lies) dished out together with what a real site, composed by actual humans who understand what they talk about, would manage to avoid.

Weird. Google seems to "know" little about its very own systems! There are also minor errors along the way there; for instance, as we're run by a large community and donations have not been sought for a very long time, there is an obvious falsehood there. The site is run and funded by volunteers who offer time, pay bills etc. Please do not rely on slop for anything. Slop gets things wrong and it's not always obvious what it gets wrong.

Just last week, the tenth GPS III satellite was placed in orbit by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Once it’s properly configured and operational, it will join its peers to form the first complete “block” of third-generation GPS satellites. Over the next decade, as many as 22 revised GPS III satellites are slated to take their position over the Earth, eventually replacing all of the aging satellites that billions of people currently rely on. So what new capabilities do these third-generation GPS satellites offer, and why has it taken so long to implement needed upgrades in such a critical system? * ⚓ Mandaris Moore ☛ Ed25519_DKIM_Support:_Which_Providers_Accept_Modern_ (and_Weak)_Keys?⠀⇛ I use Fastmail for my mail service and it was nice that it was mentioned in this article.

The rationale was to reduce e-waste and make live easier for consumers. American tech companies vigorously opposed the new rules, especially Apple, and the U.S. has not followed suit. But with the rules looming, USB-C has already emerged as the international standard for newfangled contraptions. * ⚓ Saurabh "Sam" Khawase ☛ Email_is_crazy⠀⇛ I come across email systems routinely during my day job and often wonder how email works under the hood. This blog post is a result of my foray into that land. Email is one of the most successful communication technologies ever built and Billions1 of emails are sent each day. Almost half of them are spam, and a quarter of them are marketing emails. Nonetheless a big chunk is transactional emails like password resets, notifications, alerts etc. The beauty of email is that it just works despite the insane complexities that power the email infrastructure. * ⚓ Thomas Weber ☛ The_woes_of_sanitizing_SVGs⠀⇛ Scratch has a long history of SVG-related vulnerabilities. The source of these is that Scratch parses user-generated (ie. attacker-controlled) content into an &svg> element and appends it into the main document for various operations (eg. measuring SVG bounding box in a more reliable way than viewbox or width/ height). No matter how briefly the SVG remains in the main document, this is an inherently unsafe operation. Scratch's approach to making this safe has been to build increasingly complex infrastructure around parsing the SVG and the markup within to remove dangerous parts. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2895 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/29/Still_Prioritising_the_Birds.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/29/Still_Prioritising_the_Birds.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Still Prioritising the Birds⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 29, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Owl_with_Two_Owlets_Sitting_on_Branch⦈_ May_1 is near; please keep feeding the birds Today while chasing news links and writing some notes (articles early in the morning, again in the evening) the bird "Bottle" - or "Bot" for short - kept showing up very often, afterwards with the friend, who has no name (can be recognised by proximity to "Bot", they each take one doorknob to stare at me and ask for seeds from the glass jar). It turns out the friend is in fact the partner because they 'kissed' today. That happened several times. Minutes later it was obvious who was male and who was female (we never knew the gender of "Bot") because the partner jumped on her. We already suspected that "Bot" was female based on behaviour and relative body size, but now it is official. Lately we've also been feeding "Sleepy", who likes to sleep very near, either on a hanging clay vase or the basket with coconut body. "Sleepy" looks for shelter, not food. There are other couples of birds and it'll become obvious over time which ones are males and which are the females. More so now because of the mating season. We sometimes write about birds (they are also the mascot of the site) because they are like free-range pets to us and we keep a lot of premium seeds for them in store. Our government advised taking a break from feeding birds between May 1 and some time in October, but we'll feed them as usual. There are contradictory accounts from bird experts (several independent ones sent me E- mails about it this month) and we have a sneaking suspicion that this advice is tied to worries about crop shortages (due to the war that lowers availability of much-needed fertiliser). █ =============================================================================== Image source:

improved performance, and long-term support. This guide will walk you step by step through upgrading FunOS 25.10 to FunOS 26.04 LTS, which is based on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. * ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ How_to_Install_MATE_Desktop_in_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ This tutorial shows how to install the full mate desktop environment in Ubuntu 26.04 Resolute Raccoon. Due to lack of maintainers, there’s no official MATE flavor (aka Ubuntu MATE) release for Ubuntu 26.04. If you want, it’s however easy to install this MATE desktop environment to turn your Ubuntu to “Ubuntu MATE 26.04”. * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ How_to_Install_Surveillance_Giant_Google_Chrome_Web_Browser on_Ubuntu_26.04⠀⇛ Step-by-step instructions for installing Surveillance Giant Google Chrome on Ubuntu 26.04 with the official .deb package, plus update, default browser, and uninstall steps. * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ How_to_Install_TeamViewer_on_Ubuntu_26.04⠀⇛ Install TeamViewer on Ubuntu 26.04 with the official .deb package, then launch, update, troubleshoot, or remove it from the command line. * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ How_to_Install_VirtualBox_on_Ubuntu_26.04⠀⇛ Install VirtualBox on Ubuntu 26.04 from the Ubuntu multiverse repository, add the Extension Pack, and fix common kernel module or Secure Boot issues. * ⚓ Linux Links ☛ PMRP-NG_–_terminal_internet_radio_player⠀⇛ Internet radio, often referred to as web radio, streaming radio, or online radio, is a digital audio service that streams over the Internet. * ⚓ Linux Links ☛ hist-rs_–_high-throughput_CLI_to_count_unique_lines⠀⇛ hist-rs is a Rust command-line utility built for high- throughput line-oriented text processing. * ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Build_a_Fast_VPN_Server_with_WireGuard_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ Most sysadmins still reach for OpenVPN out of habit, but these days that often means accepting a slower tunnel, managing a certificate authority, and dealing with a config file that can run to 50 lines before you’ve done anything meaningful. * ⚓ TecMint ☛ 10_Linux_Terminal_Shortcuts_to_Stop_Retyping_Commands⠀⇛ You type a long apt command to install a package, hit Enter, and the terminal shows back Permission denied. So you arrow-up, jump to the beginning of the line, type sudo, and hit Enter again. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Docker_Compose_on_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ Running multiple containers by hand quickly turns into a maintenance problem. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Docker_on_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_AppImage_on_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ You downloaded an .AppImage file, double-clicked it on your fresh Ubuntu 26.04 desktop, and absolutely nothing happened. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Flatpak_on_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS_(Step-by- Step)⠀⇛ Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (“Resolute”) does not ship Flatpak by default. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_ExifTool_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_and_Use_Snapd_on_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Docker_Desktop_on_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ If you have just upgraded to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and want a proper GUI for managing containers, Docker Desktop is the right tool for the job. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Contao_on_AlmaLinux_10⠀⇛ If you want to install Contao on AlmaLinux 10, you are making a solid choice on both ends. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3537 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/29/Ubuntu_16_04_Extended_Security_Maintenance_ESM_Comes_to_an_End.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/04/29/Ubuntu_16_04_Extended_Security_Maintenance_ESM_Comes_to_an_End.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ubuntu 16.04 Extended Security Maintenance (ESM) Comes to an End⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 29, 2026 * ⚓ Neowin ☛ Your_Ubuntu_16.04_systems_are_now_sitting_ducks_unless_you_pay up_or_move_out⠀⇛ Running a decade-old OS is a ticking time bomb for your data security. With standard ESM over, you're forced to choose between a risky migration or a pricey legacy subscription. * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_16.04_LTS_security_support_has_ended_–_unless_you pay⠀⇛ If you’re still running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus), heads up: Extended Security Maintenance (ESM) ended this month and your system is no longer receiving security updates. Having debuted in April 2016, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS received five years of standard support with a further 5 years of security coverage available through ESM by enabling Ubuntu Pro. ESM for 16.04 ended April 2026, meaning action is needed to stay protected. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 3576 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 36 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
