3_powerful_Linux_apps_to_try_this_weekend_(May_1st—3rd)⠀⇛ It’s the first weekend of May, and I’ve got three Linux apps that earned a spot in my workflow the hard way—by actually being useful. These picks solve specific problems I didn’t even realize had better solutions. If you’ve got a few hours free this weekend, they’re definitely worth installing. * ⚓ Diffoscope ☛ Reproducible_Builds_(diffoscope):_diffoscope_318 released⠀⇛ The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of diffoscope version 318. * ⚓ National Law Review US ☛ Abstract_Rolls_Out_Native_Linux_Support:_Built for_the_Pipelines_that_Power_Production⠀⇛ Abstract, a deep-tech company pioneering cutting-edge 3D and AI technology solutions, launches native Linux support for InstaMAT and InstaLOD. While key players in the industry pull back from or minimize Linux support, Abstract doubles down on its commitment to the VFX and games community with the long- awaited native Linux release of both products. Linux underpins most of the professional 3D infrastructure worldwide. Render farms, studio pipelines, and cloud platforms have been built on it for decades, and production teams working within those environments have long needed native support for the tools they rely on. This public preview marks their Linux debut. Everything studios and enterprises depend on, now running natively on the operating system their pipelines are already built on. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⣟⣋⣉⣭⣭⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠙⠿⠿⠿⠿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠ ⣿⣿⡏⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡦⠀⠀⠀⠘ ⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠘⠋⠁⠠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣰⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠐⠒⠚⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠠ ⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⢰⣿⣿⣇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢋⡍⠉⣉⣉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⣀⢀⣀⡀⢀⣠⣤⠀⠆⠶⠴⠴⠃⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠔⠉⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⢉⣭⣅⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢀⣀⣀⢀⣠⣀⣀⣤⣶⣶⣦⣶⣶⢾⠶⠠⠒⠹⠀⠛⠋⠉⠁⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠸⣿⡿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⠿⠻⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠁⠙⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⣤⣶⡎⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠻⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢠⣾⣷⡜⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠈⠙⣋⠁⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⢾⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⡟⢄ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢉⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠈ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠿⠿⠟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⢠⣶⣶⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠈⠿⠟⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣾⣿⣯⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⣶⣶⣶⠟⠁⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣶⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣴⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⢀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⡤⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣠⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠓⠓⢂⢷⣶⡶⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 250 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/02/Attack_knocks_Ubuntu_websites_services_and_Snap_store_offline.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/02/Attack_knocks_Ubuntu_websites_services_and_Snap_store_offline.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Attack knocks Ubuntu websites, services and Snap store offline⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on May 02, 2026, updated May 02, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Ubuntu⦈_ Quoting: Attack knocks Ubuntu websites, services and Snap store offline - OMG! Ubuntu — The Ubuntu APT repos are not offline, as they’re mirrored across multiple locations, countries and servers, although the main archive.ubuntu.com is offline (at the time of writing). It’s still possible to download OS ISO images too, due to distributed mirrors/ repos. The Ubuntu OS is also not compromised or affected directly. Websites and services which are offline (at the time of writing) include any website hitched to the main Ubuntu website including lists.ubuntu.com, security.ubuntu.com, login.ubuntu.com, archive.ubuntu.com and keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371. The Livepatch API is impacted, as is Landscape, the maas.io website, launchpad.net and Canonical’s own website along with some subdomain services (contracts.canonical.com, portal.canonical.com), but not all. Canonical don’t call it a DDoS, but they do say it is ‘sustained’. That points some sort of volumetric onslaught intentionally affecting availability. The who, how and (importantly) why is unknown, but a hacktivist group has reportedly claimed responsibility1. Read_on More Updates: * ⚓ Ubuntu_infrastructure_has_been_down_for_more_than_a_day_-_Ars Technica⠀⇛ Servers operated by Ubuntu and its parent company Canonical were knocked offline on Thursday morning and have remained down ever since, a situation that’s preventing the OS provider from communicating normally following the botched disclosure of a major vulnerability. Attempts to connect to most Ubuntu and Canonical webpages and download OS updates from Ubuntu servers have consistently failed over the past 24 hours. Updates from mirror sites, however, have continued to work normally. A Canonical status page said: “Canonical’s web infrastructure is under a sustained, cross-border attack and we are working to address it.” Other than that, Ubuntu and Canonical officials have maintained radio silence since the outage began. * ⚓ Ubuntu_services_hit_by_outages_after_DDoS_attack_|_TechCrunch⠀⇛ Hacktivists have claimed responsibility for taking down the public-facing infrastructure of popular Linux operating system distribution Ubuntu, as well as Canonical, the company that develops and maintains the software. The attack began on Thursday, and affected services that Ubuntu users rely on. “Canonical’s web infrastructure is under a sustained, cross- border attack and we are working to address it. We will provide more information in our official channels as soon as we are able to,” the company said on its website. * ⚓ Pro-Iran_group_turns_Ubuntu_DDoS_into_shakedown⠀⇛ Canonical says its web infrastructure is under attack after a pro-Iran hacktivist group instructed its members to target the open source giant. "I can confirm that Canonical's web infrastructure is under a sustained, cross-border Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack" a Canonical spokesperson told The Register. "Our teams are working to restore full availability to all affected services. We will provide updates in our official channels as soon as we are able to." Known best for managing the development of Ubuntu, the distro's main website is down at the time of writing, and has been for several hours. * ⚓ Canonical,_the_company_that_makes_Ubuntu_Linux,_says_its_web infrastructure_is_under_a_'sustained,_cross-border_attack'_|_PC_Gamer⠀⇛ Canonical, the company behind the most popular Linux distro, says its web infrastructure is currently under a "sustained, cross-border attack." Affected sites and services seem to run across the entire Ubuntu gamut, from its website to its blog and even potentially its repos. According to what user reports I could gleam from online forums—given official status pages are down—the problems have been ongoing for hours even if Canonical only officially commented on it recently. * ⚓ Canonical_under_sustained_DDoS_attack_as_Ubuntu_26_releases_—_Iranian group_313_Team_claims_responsibility⠀⇛ The meatspace war with Iran has been spilling into cyberspace as well, and the latest casualty is Canonical. The company behind the ever-popular Ubuntu Linux is in a spot of bother, as the majority of its infrastructure is being hit by a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. The attack has reportedly been claimed by Iranian ne'er-do-wells 313 Team, also known as the Islamic Cyber Resistance in Iraq. The attackers requested a virtual meeting with the Canonical staff under threat of continued attacks, but there have been no other public developments. The most obvious result is that Canonical's, er, canonical Ubuntu download and update mirrors worldwide are sluggish or down entirely, as is the main website. The attack extends to Launchpad, the Snap store, Canonical SSO, and other related services. Thankfully, there are no reports of security compromises affecting package repositories or ISO images, so whichever download spot you find should be safe. Intentionally or not, this attack comes hot on the heels of the release of Ubuntu 26 LTS, dubbed Resolute Raccoon. As its name and even version number imply, this is a release with an extended support window, meaning it'll be the one installed in servers and workstations worldwide. * ⚓ Pro-Iran_Hackers_Hit_Ubuntu's_Canonical_With_DDoS,_Float_Extortion Demand⠀⇛ If you’re having trouble accessing websites for the Linux distribution Ubuntu, an ongoing DDoS attack is to blame. On Friday, Ubuntu developer Canonical confirmed the DDoS, which involves hackers summoning a burst of internet traffic to overwhelm and take down a website or server. “Canonical’s web infrastructure is under a sustained, cross-border attack and we are working to address it,” it tweeted. “We will provide more information in our official channels as soon as we are able to.” The attack appears to have shut down access to Canonical’s main site and the Ubuntu.com domain, though PCMag was able to load some related pages. A pro-Iranian hacking group, the Islamic Cyber ​​Resistance in Iraq, also known as the 313 Team, has claimed responsibility for the DDoS assault, which began on Thursday. 4 more: * ⚓ Iran_Hackers_target_Canonical_Ubuntu_Software_with_DDoS_Attack⠀⇛ In recent months, a noticeable surge in politically motivated cyberattacks has drawn global attention, particularly those attributed to groups aligned with Iran. These hacking collectives appear to be targeting Western digital infrastructure not only to cause disruption but also to amplify their presence on the international stage. By focusing on high- visibility organizations, they aim to generate widespread media coverage while signaling their technical capabilities and ideological stance. * ⚓ 313_Team_Hits_Canonical_With_DDoS_And_Extortion_Demand⠀⇛ An Iran-linked hacktivist group, the “Islamic Cyber Resistance in Iraq 313 Team,” hit Canonical with a sustained DDoS attack starting approximately April 30, 2026, paired with a Session- channel extortion demand reported by VECERT. * ⚓ Ubuntu's_web_infrastructure_is_under_a_'sustained,_cross-border attack'⠀⇛ * ⚓ Hacktivists_launched_DDoS_against_Canonical_and_disrupted_Ubuntu updates⠀⇛ Hacktivists have claimed responsibility for outages in the public infrastructure of the Ubuntu distribution and the company Canonical, which develops and maintains this software. The attack began on Thursday and affected services used by Ubuntu users. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢀⠀⠠⠤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠉⠀ ⣤⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠉⠉⢻⡻⠗⡼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡠ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠠⠤⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⢀⣀⣀⣤⣀⣀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⡄ ⠛⠛⠿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⢠⡹⢿⣿⡇⣇⢿⣿⣿⢻⢹⣿⣿⢃⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢳⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⠁ ⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣴⣿⣁⡈⢀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⠀⠀⢠⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠓⠒⢲⣾⣇⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⡒⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠛⣋⣙⠠⣰⡟⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⠻⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠧⠤⠤⠤⢬⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠀⣾⣧⠇ ⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠋⠘⠛⡛⣮⣼⠁⣠⣤⣤⣿⡧⢂⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣡⣿⣳⡝⣿⣄⣿⣤⣀⣺⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠿⠿⠿⠿⠭⠽⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⢉⣉⣭⣭⣭⣉⠉⠁⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠈⠉⠉⠁⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠲⠞⠓⣶⢶⠌⡧⠀⣤⠤⠶⠖⠚⠉⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠓⠚⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣄⠀⠀⠖⠲⠞⢳⡴⡾⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⠥⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠋⠉⣦⣤⣥⣬⣥⣭⣿⣭⣬⣽⣽⣅⣀⣤⣌⢀⠁⠈⠁⠈⠀⠁⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣼⣤⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣤⣀⣙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡤⣶⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣦⡾⢠⣿⣯⣮⣮⣮⣮⣯⣿⣿⣿⣽⣽⣼⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣭⡿⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠃⣾⣉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣍⣰⣄⣰⣈⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣄⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣉⣩⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⣀⢀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠉⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠉⠉⣍⠋⢭⡉⠉⠉⠉⢉⣉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣀⣤⣶⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠃⠀⠋⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠛⠿⠿⠇⠀⠙⠻⠿⠿⠿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⠷⠀⠛⠀⠀⠀⠬⠟⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠈⠀⢀⣠⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠴⢤⣴⣍⢳⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 509 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/02/Distributions_and_Operating_Systems_Distrowatch_Rankings_Sparky.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/02/Distributions_and_Operating_Systems_Distrowatch_Rankings_Sparky.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Distributions and Operating Systems: Distrowatch Rankings, Sparky, EasyOS, and HaikuOS⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 02, 2026 * ⚓ And_another_year_flies_by!_16_anniversary?⠀⇛ The GNU/Linux landscape has changed a lot since I started this humble blog to record my experiences with GNU/Linux and FLOSS in general. Today, I visited Distrowatch and CachyOS is distro #1. Ubuntu, which used to be the top dog back then, is #10. Linux Mint and MX Linux, distros that once held the top position, are now #2 and #3, respectively. Mageia, my main distro, is #51! I am using Mageia 9, which was released in August 2023. I can see that they have been busy this year as they released Alpha 1 and Beta 1 and there will be another general extraordinary assembly this coming May 7 because the required quorum was not reached to vote the constitution changes.

They are also a terrible fit for game development. If you’ve ever tried to use them for boss scripts, dialogue, or AI behaviors – anywhere you want straight-line code that pauses for a few frames – you’ve probably hit the same wall I did: opaque handles, heap allocations3, hidden compiler lowering, and – most damning for games – no way to serialize a paused coroutine to disk. In this article, I will present sfex::Coroutine: a ~200-line stackless macro-based coroutine library built around a variant of the classic switch + __LINE__ trick. Like my previously discussed sfex::Profiler, these coroutines are meant to be simple and lightweight. * ⚓ The New Leaf Journal ☛ Memories_-_Recording_Mario_Kart:_Double_Dash_on VHS⠀⇛ “If you wanted” eh? “Could…” Talk about presumptuous. How about I wanted and I did. Settle in now: It is story-time. Super Mario Kart was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System on August 27, 1992 in Japan, and on September 1, 1993 in North America. The combination of Mario and friends and kart racing proved to be successful, so successful that every Nintendo home console and every handheld console starting with the Game Boy Advance has received an entry in the Mario Kart series. * ⚓ Ham Vocke ☛ Home-cooked_software⠀⇛ I’m tracking a few statistics to understand how many people are playing, how many games are being played, what kind of games people are playing and where they might run into errors. While there’s a lot of vanity in those numbers, there’s also some very reassuring message: The number of games played daily shot up once the newspaper article had been published and continue to hover 20x above what I saw before. People are playing, people are learning, and according to all those lovely emails and messages I’m seeing, people enjoy it. People close by, people I run into day-to-day. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Gambonanza_masterfully_combines_Balatro_and_chess_and it's_out_now_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Gambonanza is chess but also not really. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Here's_the_top_Steam_Deck_games_for_April_2026_| GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Another month is done and dusted, so here's your run over the most popular games on Steam Deck for April 2026.

From there it was easy enough to deduce the settings to jot into fbdoom so that it too could use the same screen and touch inputs. After copying the compiled binary with SCP over to the router, it can then be started like any application. With touch inputs somewhat awkwardly mapped to certain areas of the touch screen, it’d be nice to see the USB 2.0 port used for USB HID inputs, but it does show how easy things can be when it runs something like Linux and you got full root access. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Commodore_64_and_ZX_Spectrum_receive_clamshell makeover_—_iconic_8-bit_legends_join_the_handheld_gaming_wars⠀⇛ Retro Games Ltd and Blaze Entertainment put The C64 Handheld and The Spectrum Handheld up for preorder at $129.99. * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ New_Steam_Games_with_Native_GNU/Linux_Builds,_including Legionbound_-_2026-04-29_Edition⠀⇛ Between 2026-04-22 and 2026-04-29 there were 87 New Steam games released with Native GNU/Linux builds. For reference, during the same time, there were 765 games released for backdoored Windows on Steam, so the GNU/Linux versions represent about 11.4 % of total released titles. There’s a lot of games but of varying quality.

It’s certainly not the first ESP32 drone, but the ESP-FLY drone must be the smallest, as the miniature (67 x 67 x 31mm) quadcopter design allows users to store into any pocket or small boxes. * ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Typeframe_PS-85_cyberdeck⠀⇛ Scrapping the idea, he turned his attention to a new build, which he named the Typeframe PX-88. Inspired by the Epson PX- 4 computer from 1985 and built around a Raspberry Pi 4, it featured a 65 percent mechanical keyboard and a touchscreen. It worked so well that Jeff decided he wanted to develop more projects with Raspberry Pi. “I had not worked with any single- board computers before (or Linux in years), but found Raspberry Pi’s large and established ecosystem made figuring things out easier,” he tells us. * ⚓ Digital Camera World ☛ This_YouTuber_has_"created_a_Ricoh_GR_IV_clone for_$200"⠀⇛ "With this camera and lens combination, we now have a small mirrorless camera much like the Ricoh GR IV with the same 28mm full-frame field of view as the Ricoh GR IV's fixed lens. However, these cameras are far from equal in every way." * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Adapting_A_100-Year-Old_Lens_To_A_Modern_Camera⠀⇛ The optic in question is a 100-year old lens—a Foth 50 mm f2.5 to be precise, originally used with a folding film camera. It was sourced from a market for just 3 euros. Notably, the lens was not designed for modern cameras, and so lacks an aperture and focusing mechanism. [Mathieu] thus had to fabricate something to fit the lens to a Sony FX3. A first attempt used an aperture adapter from Amazon and an elcoid adapter, but there were vignetting problems due to the lens placement in this case. Ultimately, [Mathieu] went with a special macro adapter that allowed him to control focus and tuck in an ND filter behind the lens, which made up for the lack of an aperture. * ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Testing_the_Commodore_64_250466_board⠀⇛ Before testing though, a few of you asked for a better comparison between the longboard and newer shortboard variants of the Commodore 64 motherboard.

The Keep Android Open campaign is gathering attention and support as the big red numbers on its page count down. The good news is that you do already have alternatives, and The Register has been reporting on them. But if you are not the sort of person who reads phone reviews, or writeups of alternative phone OSes, and just wants to buy a new handset and retain control of it and its contents, we thought it might be a good time to remind you of where to go and who to talk to. At the time of writing, the campaign says it's 123 days until Google's new measures preventing you from side- loading your own software will kick in. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1332 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/02/Java_SDK_updates_for_Slackware_all_across_the_board.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/02/Java_SDK_updates_for_Slackware_all_across_the_board.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Java SDK updates for Slackware all across the board⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on May 02, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Slackware⦈_ Quoting: Java SDK updates for Slackware all across the board – Alien Pastures — Today I pushed fresh Slackware packages (for 15.0 and -current, and 32bit as well as 64bit) for various new OpenJDK releases. This is a quarterly process where the Java developers release a “GA” version. The “GA” stands for General Availability. The “GA” version indicates that the software is considered stable, feature-complete, and ready for use in production environments.

The open-source BIOS now boots close to the Linux login screen, with chipset-related faults remaining as the main challenge. * ⚓ Satire:_Linux_27_Released⠀⇛ The highly anticipated Linux 27 kernel dropped early Tuesday morning, sending ripples of ecstatic validation throughout the developer community. Boasting an incredibly lean codebase, unprecedented compile speeds, and absolute architectural purity, the new kernel version's already being called the crowning achievement of modern computing infrastructure. * ⚓ OSTechNix ☛ Linux_Kernel_7.1_RC1_Released_with_Bulk_AMD_GPU_Register Sync_Updates⠀⇛ Linux Kernel 7.1-rc1 was released on 26 April 2026, officially closing the merge window with approximately 13,000 non-merge commits. This release features a massive update for AMD GPU register headers. A single bulk AMD GPU register header sync accounts for roughly 25% of the entire 7.1-rc1 patch. * ⚓ Arch_Linux_May_ISO_Debuts_Linux_7.0_Support_and_Improved_Installer_| TechPowerUp⠀⇛ Arch Linux has released its May 2026 ISO snapshot, version 2026.05.01, the first Arch ISO to ship with the Linux 7.0 kernel series, version 7.0.3 to be more precise. The new kernel brings improved hardware detection, particularly useful on newer machines but also on older hardware where previous ISOs sometimes failed to detect certain components. Linux 6.18.25 LTS is still available for those who prefer to remain on the long-term support branch. The updated Archinstall 4.3 installer introduces a new "Additional Fonts" section in the Applications menu. From there, users can pick from Noto Unicode for broad language coverage, Noto Emoji for color emoji support in browsers and apps, and Noto CJK variants for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters. The installer now also automatically enables power management services after package installation, fixes bugs with encrypted partition selection and file copying, and adds a completed Hindi translation locale. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1491 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/02/Kirigami_forms_and_configurations.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/02/Kirigami_forms_and_configurations.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Kirigami forms and configurations⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on May 02, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇configurations⦈_ Quoting: Kirigami forms and configurations | Mart — Until this point, Kirigami had only offered the classic “FormLayout” component. which is used for configuration pages throughoug systemsettings, Plasma, and some apps.

But the occasion warrants it. Canonical has released its latest LTS. What makes the April 2026 edition that much more meaningful or important is that, for the first time ever, Ubuntu no longer uses nor can it use the X11 desktop, due to its Gnome 50 dependency. You have to use Wayland. But the same limitation does not extend to the community flavors, even though Kubuntu also decided to default to the "new" and less capable "successor". But the X11 desktop is in the repos. Well, as a heavy Kubuntu user, I couldn't just ignore this release. After all, I have a mix of 22.04 and 24.04 systems, physical and virtual, including my Slimbook Titan used for gaming, and the Executive, used for casual everyday stuff. With the pro patching enabled, these two ought to be good for quite a while longer, but I want to be ready for the future. Y'know, X11, Wayland, Nvidia, gaming, all the critical stuff. Thus, this new LTS represents a pivotal point. It's going to be the last X11-capable Kubuntu LTS, and so I want to see what gives. Besides, I also want to see whether this LTS is good in its own right, Wayland notwithstanding, considering that 24.04 was quite disappointing. Anyway. Let us commence.

Well, for me it's about reliance on big tech. I'm trying to reduce it where possible, but the social and "centre of mass" aspects of GitHub are giving me pause. * ⚓ Dan Brown ☛ BookStack_Has_Migrated_From_GitHub_to_Codeberg⠀⇛ We are no longer managing issues, feature requests, code contributions, support requests etc… via GitHub. This is now all managed via Codeberg. Any issues or pull requests raised on GitHub will be closed right away. All existing open GitHub issues and pull requests have been closed, with links to their new home on Codeberg provided in a closing comment. All existing closed and open issues have been migrated into Codeberg under the same IDs, so everything’s in one place. * ⚓ [Old] Dan Erat ☛ Moving_from_GitHub_to_Codeberg⠀⇛ In April 2023, I finally decided to move my source code repositories off of GitHub. There are a bunch of problems with GitHub, but I’m particularly uneasy with the monoculture that they’ve created and frustrated by the rampant (alleged) copyright infringement performed by their Copilot product. GitHub’s current owner doesn’t have the best track record of playing nicely with the open-source community, so I assume that things will only get worse. * ⚓ [Old] Majavan tila osk ☛ We_joined_Codeberg_e.V.⠀⇛ One of the purposes of Majavan tila osk is to develop the commons, such as Free Software. We are therefore very happy to announce that we have officially joined the association Codeberg e.V.. * ⚓ [Old] DEV Community ☛ Moving_from_GitHub_to_Codeberg(Forgejo)⠀⇛ I've started migrating my active projects from GitHub to Codeberg. Codeberg is a European open-source alternative that overall resembles GitHub—a code collaboration platform. I'd been considering it for a while, and now that it's almost done, I wanted to share my thoughts. * ⚓ [Old] European Alternatives ☛ Codeberg_|_European_Alternatives⠀⇛ Codeberg is a version control service for open-source projects from Germany. It is built with the open-source version control software Forgejo. * ⚓ [Old] European Purpose ☛ Codeberg_Review_2026_-_European_Developer Tools⠀⇛ Codeberg is a free, community-driven Git hosting platform that has rapidly become the go-to destination for open-source developers who want to keep their code on European infrastructure. Founded in 2019 as a registered non-profit association (eingetragener Verein) in Berlin, Germany, Codeberg was born from the growing concern within the open-source community about the concentration of code repositories on US- controlled platforms, particularly after Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub in 2018. The platform is operated by Codeberg e.V., a charitable organization dedicated to creating and maintaining free collaboration infrastructure for free and open-source projects. * ⚓ [Old] Deimos Cloud ☛ Understanding_GitLab⠀⇛ In the fast-paced world of software development, efficient version control and collaboration are essential. GitLab, a web- based Git repository manager, has emerged as a robust solution for managing source code repositories, streamlining development workflows, and fostering team collaboration. In this blog, we’ll explore what GitLab is, how it works, and the various ways it benefits software development teams. What is GitLab? GitLab is an open-source platform built around Git, the distributed version control system developed by Linus Torvalds. It provides a comprehensive set of tools and features to manage Git repositories, project planning, continuous integration/ continuous deployment (CI/CD), code review, issue tracking, and more. Essentially, GitLab consolidates the entire software development lifecycle into one seamless interface, simplifying the process and making it more efficient. * ⚓ [Old] Brad Taunt ☛ Git_Your_Freedom_Back:_A_Beginner's_Guide_to SourceHut⠀⇛ This article (or guide) is targeted towards users and contributors who are currently hosting their git repositories through GitHub. The goal of this post is to convince developers to move away from GitHub altogether. I will breakdown GitHub’s most popular core features and provide details on SourceHut’s alternative approach for each of them. Hopefully by the end of this guide developers will try SourceHut or at the very least, begin to question why they are still using GitHub. Note: Obviously the most "secure and free" solution would be hosting your own git server. Self-hosting is a great idea and you should do so if you have the means. That being said, this article is focused on SourceHut since most users do not have the time to manage both their projects and maintain a self- hosted instance. * ⚓ Michael Taggart ☛ How_and_Why_to_Ditch_GitHub⠀⇛ GitHub is not the only Git hosting service in town. In fact, there are a bunch of other towns, and GitHub's neighborhood is getting shady as hell. Between Microsoft's seeming inability to keep nation state actors out of its business, the US government's questionable choices around cybersecurity, and GitHub's use of everyone's code to train its language models, I felt it was time to seek greener pastures for my code. You ever have something that you know in your bones is the right thing to do, but it seems unreasonably onerous? Moving off GitHub has felt that way for me for quite some time. While you can't always choose an ethical option in a culture of consumption, this one felt important enough to try. My technical efforts contributing to a technology I vehemently oppose did not sit well with me. So I finally made the leap. And you know what? It wasn't that hard. * ⚓ Julien Voisin ☛ Follow-up_to_Carrot_disclosure:_Forgejo⠀⇛ Nonetheless, some productive good faith conversations have been had as well, and it seems that experimenting with odd vulnerability disclosure schemes is frowned upon. So I ended up sending and email to Forgejo security team, containing: an apology, a bit about my reasoning for proceeding with carrot disclosure, recommendations about what to harden/review, and a bunch of commented exploits/proof-of-concepts as attachment. We'll see how it goes. * ⚓ [Old] Seán Fobbe ☛ Migrating_my_Open_Source_Projects_to_Codeberg_·_Seán Fobbe⠀⇛ Effectively immediately, I have migrated all of my Open Source projects from GitHub to Codeberg. Future Open Source development will continue on Codeberg only. All GitHub repositories will remain available as public archives to ensure that nothing breaks for other people and the scholarly record is maintained. However, please look to my Zenodo code archive if you are looking for stable and citeable code releases. * ⚓ [Old] Nícolas F R A Prado ☛ Moving_the_blog_to_Codeberg⠀⇛ As someone who cares about FOSS, I'm always happy to move to a FOSS alternative when one shows up, provided there aren't any big drawbacks. Back when I was in University and starting to learn the ways of Git, I only knew about two Git hosting options: GitHub, the mainstream but proprietary, and GitLab, the less known but more open alternative. Between the two, GitLab was the obvious choice for my personal repositories, including this blog. A few months ago I learned about Codeberg. Codeberg provides a hosted instance of Gitea, which is a Git forge that is entirely FOSS. On top of that, Codeberg is backed by a non-profit, which makes it clear that it is community-focused. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't get better than this, so I was eager to move all my repositories to Codeberg. Most of my repositories are really just archives: I'm the only one pushing code to them, and as long as the commit history is available, there's no other feature they require. So the migration was pretty straight-forward. The only exception is the blog repository. * ⚓ [Old] Felix Feldspaten ☛ Moving_to_Codeberg⠀⇛ The mistrust of a huge company behind GitHub and my love for (real) decentralisation are the two main reasons for doing so. Codeberg is a cool project, which deserves to be promoted, used and funded. * ⚓ [Old] DEV Community ☛ First_steps_towards_Codeberg_-_DEV_Community⠀⇛ A lot of Europeans are currently talking about Europe having to become more independent from US-based big tech. Being a European myself, I feel the need for this, too. However, just talking won't make a difference. So, why not make this our New Year's resolution? Here's mine: I love open source. Given GitHub's recent trajectory toward centralisation, I feel there are better-suited homes for my repositories. That's why I will start migrating them to Codeberg. * ⚓ [Old] Rukshan ☛ Codeberg_a_GitHub_Alternative_From_Europe⠀⇛ Codeberg is a privacy-friendly GitHub alternative with one of the easiest to understand privacy policies that I’ve come across, and one that you can interpret without a lawyer. "We have a minimum-collection policy. Aside from essential data required to keep the service running, we are not collecting additional user or tracking data." After deleting your data, backup files will be available for 30 days as per GDPR guidelines and server logs with IP addresses are kept only for 7 days according to GDPR guidelines. * ⚓ [Old] Daniel Andrlik ☛ Migrating_my_open_source_repositories_to Codeberg_·_Ministry_of_Intrigue⠀⇛ Here are my notes from the migration, how it was different from my private Forgejo migration, and how I got everything working the way I wanted. * ⚓ Git Simulator ☛ What_Is_Codeberg?_An_Open_Source_Alternative_to GitHub⠀⇛ Unlike commercial platforms like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, Codeberg positions itself as a more humane, privacy-respecting alternative. It doesn't track users, sell data, or use your code to train AI models. If you're looking for a GitHub alternative, it's well worth considering. * ⚓ [Old] Richard “Shred” Körber ☛ Moving_to_Codeberg_|_shred.zone⠀⇛ You can continue to open issues and pull requests there. All my other projects are now archived on GitHub, and the development takes place on Codeberg. You can also log in via GitHub and GitLab there, so you should have no problem with continuing to send me bug reports and pull requests. You don’t need a separate account to do this. I did not make the decision to move to Codeberg lightly. There are two main thoughts that made me do it. * ⚓ Daniel Andrlik ☛ Why_I'm_migrating_my_projects_away_from_GitHub_· Ministry_of_Intrigue⠀⇛ • Due to their ownership of GitHub, Microsoft has an undue level of influence in the open source world as it has become the de facto host for repositories. • Microsoft was the origin of Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish strategy when it comes to dealing with competing open source standards. Many big companies have adopted similar approaches, but they are the OG of EEE. • GitHub’s focus on “social coding” has gone from making it easy to contribute to becoming overwhelmed with profile notifications. • Microsoft is working really hard to shove Copilot into all development pipelines, despite the security implications. • GitHub’s CEO has now left the company, and rather than appointing a new executive, Microsoft is subsuming GitHub into a sub-department of their AI team. * ⚓ [Old] Nathan Dyer ☛ Codeberg_|_Nathan_Dyer⠀⇛ Over the past long while I’ve been moving all my personal projects from GitHub to Codeberg. I’ve decided to do this for numerous reasons: some ideological, some practical, and some personal. I thought it might be worthwhile to list them here, in case others are curious about the viability of such a move. Here is a list of reasons, in no particular order: [...] ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2101 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/02/May_Edition_Issue_of_PCLinuxOS_Magazine.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/02/May_Edition_Issue_of_PCLinuxOS_Magazine.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ May Edition / Issue of PCLinuxOS Magazine⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 02, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇DNF_Package_Manager⦈_ § Contents⠀➾ * GNU/Linux o Kernel_Space_/_File_Systems_/_Virtualization o Instructionals/Technical * Distributions_and_Operating_Systems o PCLinuxOS/Mageia/Mandriva/OpenMandriva_Family * Leftovers o Science * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o § Kernel Space / File Systems / Virtualization⠀➾ # ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ ICYMI:_Linux_7.1_Kernel_Phasing_Out i486_CPU_Support⠀⇛ A patch queued into one of the development branches ahead of the upcoming Linux 7.1 merge window is set to finally begin the process of phasing out and ultimately removing Intel 486 CPU support from the Linux kernel, according to an article from Phoronix. Anyone still using an i486 CPU with an upstream Linux kernel would be incredibly rare and no known Linux distribution vendors are still shipping with i486 CPU support, but in case you are, you can continue to be running one of the existing Linux LTS kernel versions. Linus Torvalds recently commented that he's feeling like it's time for letting the Linux kernel go of its long-present i486 CPU support as there's "zero real reason" to keep it around and waste upstream Linux kernel development efforts. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ Tip_Top_Tips:_Using_DNF_Package Manager_With_Openbox⠀⇛ Tip Top Tips is a semi-monthly column in The PCLinuxOS Magazine. Periodically, we will feature – and possibly even expand upon – one tip from the PCLinuxOS forum. The magazine will not accept independent tip submissions specifically intended for inclusion in the Tip Top Tips column. Rather, if you have a tip, share it in the PCLinuxOS forum’s “Tips & Tricks” section. Occasionally, we may run a “tip” posted elsewhere in the PCLinuxOS forum. Either way, share your tip in the forum, and it just may be selected for publication in The PCLinuxOS Magazine. # ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ Wiki_Pick:_Disk_Space_Checking⠀⇛ The easiest way to check your system's disk space is by using the df (disk free) command in a terminal window. The df utility shall write the amount of available space and file slots for file systems on which the invoking user has appropriate read access. File systems shall be specified by the file operands; when none are specified, information shall be written for all file systems. # ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ GIMP_Tutorial:_Making_Custom_Brushes⠀⇛ On one of the magazine covers last fall, I had an autumn scene where the leaves were on the ground, and there was a sidewalk in the picture. I made a couple of custom brushes for that. (No matter how much someone sweeps or rakes, there are always still leaves on the sidewalk!) * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § PCLinuxOS/Mageia/Mandriva/OpenMandriva Family⠀➾ # ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ Two_New_PDF_Scripts_(With_GUI)_To_Put In_Your_Toolbox⠀⇛ As you might imagine, I deal with PDF files … like … ALL THE TIME. As such, I have just about every command line tool that I think might be helpful for working with PDFs installed on my computer. But, even with those tools installed, it’s easy for me to forget about them, and to reach for a tool that has a GUI. Why, you might ask? Well, primarily because every time I use one of the command line tools, I’m scrambling around like a chicken trying to get his/ her fair share of scratch grains, as I try to remember the command line options for each tool to get what I’m after. After a while, it becomes tiring, which makes reaching for a GUI tool all that more tempting. That main GUI tool I usually reach for is Master PDF Editor. The best way to think of Master PDF Editor is as a word processor whose default output is PDF files. Plus, it also allows you to edit most PDF files to replace images or text, and then output those changes back to a PDF file. Don’t get me wrong … it’s a mighty powerful program that excels at its job. But sometimes, it’s overkill, and sometimes too slow. # ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ PCLinuxOS_Screenshot_Showcase⠀⇛ # ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ Recent_Improvements_to_DNF_Package Manager⠀⇛ DNF Package Manager (the GUI front end to DNF5) was introduced in PCLinuxOS approximately nine months ago. I wrote an overview of this homegrown application for the October 2025 issue of our magazine; it covers basic usage as well as background information on the reasons why the PCLinuxOS development team switched to DNF. In this month's article, I will discuss improvements to DNF Package Manager since its initial release. The current version is 1.14-3, which was released in mid-April 2026. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ From_The_Chief_Editor's_Desk...⠀⇛ I've been interested in manned spaceflight since I was a kid. I watched Gemini flights, and then every single Apollo mission. In fact, the entire history of manned spaceflight fits into my lifetime. Back in July, 1969, I was eight years old, less than a month away from my ninth birthday. Apollo 11 didn't just send men to the moon.

I spoke to dozens of departments about it, wrote guidance still in use today, and briefed Ministers on why it was so important. That's why I'm beyond disappointed at recent moves from NHS England to backtrack on all the previous commitments they've made about the value of open source to the UK's health service. It's rare that multiple people leak the same story to me, but that's what gives me confidence that lots of people within the NHS are aghast at this news. A few days ago, I was sent this quote which was attributed to a senior technical person in NHS England. We are obviously looking at things like Mythos, which is more sophisticated at finding vulnerabilities. In the next week or so, we will be changing our tack on coding the open and making our code public until we're on top of that risk. Most of our repos, unless they're essential, will be removed for security reasons. Read_on Also: * ⚓ Eden:_NHS_goes_to_war_against_open_source⠀⇛ Terence Eden reports that the UK's National Health Service (NHS) is preparing to close almost all of its open-source repositories as a response to LLM tools, such as Anthropic's Mythos, becoming more sophisticated at finding security vulnerabilities. He does not, to put it mildly, agree with the decision... More here: * ⚓ NHS_England_rushes_to_hide_software_over_AI_hacking_fears_–_Dan_Q⠀⇛ Yet again, “AI” is the reason why we can’t have nice things on an open and transparent Web. This is bad, of course. But the worst part is the illusion it helps feed that closed-source software is necessarily more- secure than open-source software. Obviously it’s all much more- complex than that. Indeed, the article goes on to quote Terence Eden thoroughly debunking the entire line of thought: [...] ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠟⠛⠿⠿⠿⠛⠟⠿⠛⠛⠟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣙⣛⣛⣙⣙⣛⣙⣙⣈⣏⣉⣉⣉⣝⣉⣩⣍⣍⣭⣍⣿⣉⣉⣉⣉⣭⣭⣉⣩⣭⣍⣍⣭⣍⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠤⠤⠴⠤⠴⠤⠤⠤⡤⠼⠿⠿⠿⠛⢿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠿⢿⢿⠿⠟⠿⠛⠛⠿⠟⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⢛⣿⣿⣿⣛⣉⣻⣉⣉⣉⣋⣉⣏⣉⣙⣉⣉⣙⣉⣹⣉⣋⣉⣉⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⣛⣛⣛⣙⣛⣉⣹⣛⣛⣉⣉⣙⣉⣉⣩⣉⣉⣉⣙⣉⣉⣉⣉⣩⣉⣍⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣍⣉⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⡤⠷⠤⡤⠼⡤⠧⢤⢤⠤⠷⠤⢷⠦⡶⠶⠼⠴⠴⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⠤⠤⠼⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣛⣻⣓⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣻⣙⣋⣛⢛⣛⣛⣋⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠛⡟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣑⣂⣻⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣙⣛⣉⣟⣛⣛⣛⣋⣉⣏⣉⣏⣟⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣩⣩⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⠭⣭⣬⣭⣭⡭⢭⣼⣭⢭⣭⢭⠭⣥⢶⠥⠭⠥⠤⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠤⠥⠭⠥⠥⠼⠤⠤⠤⢤⠥⡴⠤⠤⠤⠤⣽⠤⠦⠤⠤⠴⠴⠧⠦⠴⠧⠶⡦⠲⠶⠶⠶⠾⠿⣿⡇⣿⣶⠗⠒⠒⡖⣒⡓⣶⣶⣾⣶⣷⣶⣶⣾⣶⣾⣾⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣳⣒⣒⣚⣛⣳⣓⣛⣛⣚⣫⣛⣓⣛⣛⣛⣛⣋⣙⣙⣋⣋⣊⣚⣉⣉⣉⣉⣟⣉⣩⣉⣉⣉⣉⣿⣷⣿⣯⣭⡭⢭⣽⣭⣭⣭⣹⢭⢩⣭⣭⣯⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠭⢽⠥⠭⠤⢭⠤⠤⠬⠬⠤⠥⠴⠤⠧⠤⠤⠤⠧⠤⠤⠼⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣚⢚⣓⣚⣚⣺⣒⣒⣛⣚⣛⣛⣚⣓⣛⣛⣛⣙⣛⣞⣙⣛⣛⣟⣛⣙⣙⣛⣉⣏⣉⣍⣉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣭⣽⣭⣭⣬⣭⣭⣭⣬⣭⣬⣭⣭⣥⣤⣤⣤⣤⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣥⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2422 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/02/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/02/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 02, 2026 * ⚓ Kiran Chauhan ☛ TIL:_#include_literally_copy-paste_the_content_of_it⠀⇛ If you need proof then use -E compilation option. It'll print the preprocessed output. Let's also pass -P option to pretty- print the output. * ⚓ James G ☛ Designing_software_with_travel_in_mind⠀⇛ This has me thinking about what it means to design software with travel in mind. Artemis has a few features related to travel. First, because Artemis is designed with mobile use in mind, the software can be used on the go. Second, Artemis lets you disable your reader at any time using the holiday and break mode feature. Third, as aforementioned, Artemis notifies you when you may have changed time zones so you can update your settings as required. * ⚓ James G ☛ Joyful_web_design⠀⇛ Joyful web design has two tenets: first, the joy that you, the site author, feel when making web pages; second, the joy that a visitor has when encountering what you have made. * ⚓ Alperen Keles ☛ Have_we_won,_what_now?⠀⇛ It is important to note that formal verification has always had a high-tension relationship with pragmatics. The academic field of formal verification is a noble one; spending years proving code correct is a rewardless endeavour, a majority of what you prove is trivial in hindsight. You prove, not because proving those small lemmas, individual theorems about some modules give you reliability; but because proving a system end-to-end gives you unmatched correctness guarantees. (on a very personal and subjective account) I believe this results in a reality where the people doing proofs have long been very passionate about the proofs themselves, the understanding one extracts in the process of doing the proof, the aesthetics of the underlying mathematics, rather than the pragmatics of correct software alone. * ⚓ Andrea_Veri:_SELinux_MCS_challenges_with_GitLab_Runners⠀⇛ GNOME’s GitLab runners use Podman as the container runtime with SELinux in Enforcing mode on Fedora. The GitLab Runner Docker/ Podman executor spawns multiple containers per job: a helper container that clones the repository and handles artifacts, and a build container that runs the actual CI script. Both containers need to share a /builds volume — and this is where SELinux’s Multi-Category Security (MCS) becomes a problem. * ⚓ Christoph Mütze ☛ Shigeru_Miyamoto_has_probably_never_compiled_a_line of_code_in_his_life_and_is_still_a_better_coder_than_most_of_you.⠀⇛ There are roughly three levels at which coding happens, and most discussion of coding only recognizes one. * ⚓ Edward Loveall ☛ Printing_Zig_Structs⠀⇛ I recently found a new way to print formatted strings in Zig. If you’ve spent much time with the language, you’ve probably tried to print something to a console or other output. Here’s an example of what that can look like in Zig 0.16.0: [...] * ⚓ Jeffrey M Young ☛ Functional_Programmers_need_to_take_a_look_at_Zig.⠀⇛ I’ve been tinkering around with Zig to explore what’s possible with comptime.

Well, technically that entry said 'usually', but in practice I don't remember the limitations I mentioned in that entry. And that is how a while back I renamed the top level directory of a Django virtual environment that I'd also installed the Python LSP server into, and then yesterday I was rather puzzled when I tried some Django development and GNU Emacs gave me a weird error and didn't start my LSP environment. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2556 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/02/Security_and_Windows_TCO_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/02/Security_and_Windows_TCO_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security and Windows TCO Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 02, 2026 * ⚓ Security Week ☛ 1,800_Hit_in_Mini_Shai-Hulud_Attack_on_SAP,_Lightning, Intercom⠀⇛ The compromised Lightning and Intercom packages have a combined monthly download count of nearly 10 million. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Two_US_Security_Experts_Sentenced_to_Prison_for_Helping Ransomware_Gang⠀⇛ Ryan Goldberg of Georgia and Kevin Martin of Texas were each sentenced to four years in prison.  * ⚓ SANS ☛ Malicious_Ad_for_Homebrew_Leads_to_MacSync_Stealer,_(Fri,_May 1st)⠀⇛ Introduction * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Friday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (fence-agents), Debian (chromium, dovecot, and kernel), Fedora (chromium, dotnet10.0, dotnet8.0, dotnet9.0, emacs, glow, jfrog-cli, openbao, pyp2spec, python3.6, rust-rustls-webpki, vhs, and xen), Oracle (grafana, grafana-pcp, PackageKit, sudo, vim, and xorg-x11-server), Red Hat (rhc), SUSE (avahi, bouncycastle, chromium, container-suseconnect, firewalld, gdk-pixbuf, grafana, java-25-openjdk, kernel, libixml11, libmozjs-140-0, libpng12-0, libsodium, libssh, mariadb, Mesa, ntfs- 3g_ntfsprogs, openCryptoki, openexr, packagekit, prometheus- postgres_exporter, python-jwcrypto, python-mako, python- Pygments, python-pynacl, python311, python311-pyOpenSSL, python315, radare2, sed, and vim), and Ubuntu (kmod and zulucrypt). * ⚓ Security Week ☛ In_Other_News:_Scattered_Spider_Hacker_Arrested,_SOC Effectiveness_Metrics,_NSA_Tool_Vulnerability⠀⇛ Other noteworthy stories that might have slipped under the radar: OFAC hits Iranian central bank crypto reserves, ADT data leak, CISA guidance for zero trust in OT. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Hugging_Face,_ClawHub_Abused_for_Malware_Distribution⠀⇛ Threat actors are relying on social engineering to lure users into downloading files containing malicious instructions. * § Windows TCO / Windows Bot Nets⠀➾ o ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ A_Ransomware_Negotiator_Was_Working_for_a Ransomware_Gang⠀⇛ Someone pleaded_guilty to secretly working for a ransomware gang as he negotiated ransomware payments for clients. o ⚓ Security Week ☛ Sophisticated_Deep#Door_Backdoor_Enables Espionage,_Disruption⠀⇛ The stealthy Python-based backdoor framework deploys a persistent backdoored Windows implant likely designed for espionage. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2652 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/02/Software_Freedom_and_GNU_Projects_News.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/02/Software_Freedom_and_GNU_Projects_News.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Software Freedom and GNU Projects' News⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 02, 2026 * ⚓ Feld ☛ My_Mail_Hosting_Has_Come_Full_Circle⠀⇛ I stopped hosting any mail for a long time and was just "archiving" my mail to a local server, but a year or so ago I regained interest in taking back control as much of it as I could.

This isn't just an email problem; many people are unaware that their calendars and contacts are just... plaintext, freely available for Google/Apple/anyone to scan, parse, analyze, train, or hand over to governments without your knowledge.

Hat ☛ How_to_monitor_OpenShift_Virtualization_VMs_with_Zabbix⠀⇛ In this article, I will demonstrate how to use Zabbix integrated with Prometheus/Thanos in the Red_Hat_OpenShift Virtualization cluster. We will use low level discovery (LLD) to automate the discovery of all VMs, and thus monitor CPU, memory, network, etc. This is for users who need to create and monitor their OpenShift Virtualization using Zabbix, creating capacity alerts, applications, etc. I will not cover the installation of the Zabbix. § Get started We will create a template using the LLD resource to process the collection of metrics for defining and creating the items and triggers. * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ Netcat_Cheatsheet⠀⇛ Quick reference for using the Netcat nc command to test ports, listen for connections, transfer files, and send raw network requests * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Shotcut_on_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, codenamed “Resolute Raccoon,” shipped on April 22, 2026, and it is the most significant LTS release in years. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_7-Zip_on_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ If you work with compressed archives on Linux, you already know that not every tool handles every format. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Calibre_on_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ Managing a growing ebook collection without the right tool is frustrating — wrong formats, missing metadata, no way to sync with your Kobo or Kindle. * ⚓ TecMint ☛ SSH_Dropped_and_Killed_Your_Job?_Here’s_the_Fix⠀⇛ You logged out for a second. Maybe your VPN dropped. Maybe your laptop lid closed. Either way, that 4-hour database export you were running is gone, and you’re starting from zero. * ⚓ Andy Bell ☛ The_end_of_responsive_images⠀⇛ Remember, too, that this problem stems from an era where sub-3G connections were still common. There was no reliable way to tailor those requests to a user’s browsing context in a way that maintained browser-level performance optimizations — and ultimately, the solutions we got were effective, performant, and have saved unfathomable amounts of bandwidth for users. Responsive images, as a concept, are an incredible addition to the web platform. I’m proud to have been able to play a small part in it. * ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ I_used_one_Linux_command_to_see_exactly_what_my_apps_were doing_to_my_system⠀⇛ My laptop's fan ran a bit harder than usual for a few days. It was consistent even when only my browser and text editor were open, and nothing visible seemed to trigger it. Using htop showed normal CPU and memory usage, but I knew something was off. I needed to see what the task manager wasn't showing, so I used the lsof command. This command produced a live map of all open files and resources on the computer. The results were stunning and changed the way I think of the software I run. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3399 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/02/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/02/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 02, 2026 * ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ I_switched_to_Linux_for_local_LLMs_and_setup_that_took hours_on_Windows_took_minutes⠀⇛ I never thought it would be so challenging to run a local LLM on Windows. Even when it seemed fine, I later realized that the instance was running entirely on my CPU. Configuring drivers, environment variables, and eventually setting up WSL2 after pulling an Ollama model felt like a separate project. And after that, I found it very exhausting to maintain the stack. * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ Citizen Lab ☛ Chilling_Effects_in_the_Digital_Age⠀⇛ Following the Snowden revelations that the Five Eyes had been surveilling their own citizens, Penney found that “people were chilled about accessing matters of really important public policy,” and other topics. Views dropped on privacy-sensitive content, both in the short- and long-term, due to concerns about surveillance. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Unlocking_sovereign_AI_and_protected collaboration_with_confidential_computing [Ed: IBM Red Hat uses several bad buzzwords to sell slop, outsourcing, mass surveillance and even back doors]⠀⇛ To address this challenge, confidential computing has been developed, using hardware-based, attested Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) protecting data confidentiality, data integrity, and code integrity while data is in use. This enables protected collaboration and the use of regulated datasets for AI.  ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3463 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/02/Wine_11_8.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/02/Wine_11_8.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Wine 11.8⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 02, 2026 § Release notes The Wine development release 11.8 is now available.
