here's why⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on May 06, 2026 Quoting: All Linux gamers should take the latest Bazzite release seriously - here's why | ZDNET — It's a rare occasion that I say, "Whoa!" when logging into a Linux distribution for the first time, but that's exactly what I did upon installing the latest stable version of Bazzite. As soon as I logged in, I knew that this version of the OS was an important step for the world of Linux gaming. I realized immediately that the developers of Bazzite were doing everything they could to make gaming on Linux simple, and it's nearly impossible to deny that they've succeeded. Before I get deeper into this, I should mention that even the newest release of Bazzite does not solve the anti-cheating issue that prevents some games from playing on the Linux/Steam combo. Currently, indie and single-player games work flawlessly on Steam. The problem arises with multiplayer games.

This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Minisforum_MS-R1_ARM_Mini_Workstation_running_Linux:_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ This is a series looking at the Minisforum MS-R1 ARM Mini Workstation running Linux. In this series, I’ll examine every aspect of this mini workstation in detail from a Linux perspective. One of the benefits of the MS-R1 is its proper UEFI firmware support, which makes it straightforward to install different operating systems on the machine. In this article I’ll walk through installing Ubuntu 26.04 LTS on the MS-R1. Start by downloading the ARM Ubuntu 26.04 ISO. I chose the Desktop edition. Write the ISO to a USB drive using balenaEtcher or similar software. The process is much like installing Linux on any regular computer, with no awkward setup required. At boot, press Escape, open the Boot Manager menu, and boot from the USB drive. * ⚓ MeGit_-_standalone_graphical_Git_client_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ MeGit is a standalone graphical Git client built around EGit, the Git tooling from the Eclipse ecosystem. The project is designed for people who want EGit’s mature interface and branch management tools without having to launch a full Eclipse IDE or import repositories as Eclipse projects. Instead, you open MeGit, add the repositories you want to work with, and carry out Git tasks from a lightweight desktop application focused on version control workflows. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ XVI_-_hex_editor_using_ncurses_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ xvi is a hex editor for the Linux terminal. It uses an ncurses-based interface and is designed for interactive binary file editing from the console, with support for searching, navigation, byte-level modification, and visual comparison of files.

This helps your agents to safely and intelligently interact with your OpenShift clusters following rules you define.  * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ From_research_lab_to_factory_floor:_Why_humanoid robots_need_an_enterprise-grade_foundation [Ed: Conflating robotics with slop]⠀⇛ The answer to this matters because humanoid robots are not just AI systems, they are meant to be long-lived, safety-critical machines that operate continuously in human environments. Unfortunately, the gap between a compelling demonstration and a reliable production deployment is where many robotics programs stall. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Control_your_AI_agent_traffic_at_scale:_Model Context_Protocol_gateway_for_Red_Hat_OpenShift_is_now_in_technology preview [Ed: Yet more slop peddling by IBM Red Hat, a dying company that hides layoffs while hugging buzzwords]⠀⇛ For enterprises, the question of MCP adoption has evolved into how to do it safely. MCP servers can give AI agents access to lots of tools and data, but without a governance layer, there’s no consistent way to control who can access what, enforce rate limits, or apply security policy. However, these are all familiar challenges. They are the same ones platform teams face with existing application connectivity ecosystems. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ AIOps_and_Ansible_Automation_Platform:_Where_AI intelligence_meets_trusted_execution [Ed: IBM Red Hat selling several scams at the same time, including slop and back doors]⠀⇛ It starts with a simple distinction: knowing what to do and safely doing it are different problems. AI is great at providing the recommendation for the first part. But production environments need automation that's tested, role-based access control (RBAC)-scoped, and auditable. You also need guardrails that keep one incident from triggering 20 conflicting fixes. While an AI model can quickly and autonomously recommend restarting a service, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is what helps restart runs only in the right environment, with the right permissions, and leaves an audit trail. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Bringing_H.E.A.R.T._to_the_Red_Hat_Customer Experience⠀⇛ This is why Red Hat Support and Customer Experience is adopting the H.E.A.R.T. mindset. We are putting human connections at the center of how we collaborate with our customers, using a framework built on five pillars: [...] * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Why_your_container_registry_strategy_will_decide your_platform's_resilience⠀⇛ In the early stages of Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift adoption, the registry is treated as a supporting component, a place to store and retrieve images. That assumption quietly breaks as a platform scales across environments, supports production workloads, and introduces disaster recovery requirements. At scale, the container registry becomes part of the platform control plane, not its artifact store: Thus is the very nature of the “infrastructure as code” mentality. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Simplify_distributed_tracing:_ObservabilityInstaller installation⠀⇛ In modern cloud-native environments, distributed tracing is essential for maintaining visibility into complex microservices. However, deploying a complete, end-to-end tracing stack on Red_Hat_OpenShift has traditionally required significant manual effort. To address this, the cluster observability operator now introduces the ObservabilityInstaller custom resource (CR). This new capability automates the deployment and integration of the entire tracing ecosystem, moving from a fragmented manual process to a unified, declarative installation. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Storage_isolation_with_OpenStack_Services_on_OpenShift distributed_zones⠀⇛ Building a truly reliable cloud environment requires more than redundancy. It demands architectural isolation to guarantee business continuity even when local infrastructure components fail. For environments leveraging high-speed, low-latency interconnections (i.e., large data centers or interconnected campus facilities), Red_Hat_OpenStack_Services_on_OpenShift distributed zones (DZ) provide the necessary framework to deliver this level of resiliency. Distributed zones architecture is designed to allow cloud services to survive local and zone failures by splitting the clown infrastructure into multiple autonomous failure domains similar to what is offered by public clouds.  * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Run_multiple_OpenStack_Services_on_OpenShift_with_HCPs⠀⇛ When we introduced Red_Hat_OpenStack_Services_on_OpenShift in early 2025, our consultants and solutions architects noticed a recurring theme: organizations wanted to do more with less. This led to releasing support for multiple OpenStack services on a single Red_Hat_OpenShift cluster, a project we internally called MultiRHOSO phase 1.  * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Build_trusted_Python_containers_with_Project_Hummingbird_and Calunga⠀⇛ Project_Hummingbird and Calunga are open source projects that offer the beginnings of a secure software supply chain. These projects help open source and commercial developers build application containers with confidence that they are not shipping malicious content. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 819 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/06/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/06/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free, Libre, and Open Source Software Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 06, 2026 * ⚓ [Old] Unicorn Media ☛ Sudo,_Heartbleed,_and_the_Lessons_We_Still Haven’t_Learned⠀⇛ There was news last week about an issue that’s pretty much been beneath the radar for a couple of years. I’m trying to piece this together two years later from what I’m reading, but it appears that in February 2024, developer Todd Miller posted something of a plea on his personal website: “For the past 30+ years I’ve been the maintainer of sudo,” he wrote. “I’m currently in search of a sponsor to fund continued sudo maintenance and development. If you or your organization is interested in sponsoring sudo, please let me know.” * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ pg_sorted_heap_0.13.0_released⠀⇛ I am pleased to announce pg_sorted_heap 0.13.0, a PostgreSQL extension for physically sorted heap storage, zone-map pruning, planner-integrated vector search, and a narrow fact-shaped GraphRAG query surface. * § FSF / Software Freedom / Digital Sovereignty⠀➾ o ⚓ Peter Hofmann ☛ Gauging_what_(benign)_software_might_do⠀⇛ I'm explicitly talking about "benign" software here: Programs that I got from sources that I (more or less) trust, like distro packages or a script from a friend's Git repo. I'm not talking about completely untrusted, potentially malicious software. In other words, this isn't about security but rather about tidiness. * § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ The_retirement_of_the_PHP_license⠀⇛ The PHP project has long shipped under its own license — except for the parts under the Zend Engine License.

With Linux installed, the system can essentially work like a regular PC, which also opens the door to emulation, and that's what another modder just showed off. * ⚓ Notebook Check ☛ Arch-based_Omarchy_3.7.0_targets_Linux_gamers⠀⇛ The latest stable version of this distro ships with the Steam client installer alongside Lutris Launcher, Gaming, Heroic Launcher, Moonlight GameStream, and more. These components allow the user to run several Epic Games titles, Battle.net games, Xbox Game Pass remote play, and more. * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ Ink_Inside:_Review⠀⇛ Ink Inside is a stylized 2D hand-drawn action roguelite that takes place within the literal pages of a discarded sketchbook. You play as Stick, a simple doodle who awakens to find the sketchbook being attacked by a mysterious, oily sludge that is erasing the world and its inhabitants. You are on to a quest to save the world and its drawings from the sludge, across various biomes. What’s unique about this game is that it did not start as a game. It was a cartoon written for Nickelodeon - somehow the project did not end up being produced, and the devs turned to video games as a medium to continue their work. It’s supposed to be a story in three parts, and Ink Inside is the first episode while it’s a complete game in itself. You can expect about 10~12 hours of gameplay. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 962 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/06/Games_Unity_Mono_Shipping_Slop_Cropdeck_and_Steam_Controller_Hy.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/06/Games_Unity_Mono_Shipping_Slop_Cropdeck_and_Steam_Controller_Hy.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Unity (Mono) Shipping Slop, Cropdeck, and Steam Controller Hype⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 06, 2026 * ⚓ Steam_Controller_more_popular_than_Valve_expected_-_they're_working_on stock_issues_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ It seems the popularity of the new Steam Controller really did catch Valve off guard, with it selling out a lot faster than expected. I thought it would be popular, but not to the point where it was able to crash the Steam checkout process and have scalpers jump in. * ⚓ Conan_Exiles_Enhanced_is_out_-_a_free_upgrade_for_everyone_with_Steam Deck_improvements_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Update 16:08 UTC - it seems this was not a particularly smooth update, with lots of posts on the Steam forum noting it's not working with Proton on Linux. Some are reporting it needs "vcrun2022" via protontricks as an extra and then it works. Hopefully Valve or the developer will be able to sort that so people don't need workarounds. * ⚓ Pay_off_your_debts_to_a_greedy_landlord_in_the_seriously_charming deckbuilder_Cropdeck_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Farming roguelike deckbuilder Cropdeck has you use cards to grow crops and collect weird-looking scarecrows that help you farm and create satisfying combos.

For this one they pulled in Klei Entertainment (Don't Starve, Oxygen Not Included) for publishing. * ⚓ Unique_deck-builder_Moonsigil_Atlas_arrives_May_28_-_No_energy,_no mana,_just_space_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ With a demo that absolutely captured me, deck-builder Moonsigil Atlas arrives May 28th and this is one you're not going to want to miss. There's no energy system, no mana to run out of - just space. It's all about throwing some shapes.

Your admission policies are API objects, which means they don't exist until someone creates them, and they can be deleted by anyone with the right permissions. There's always a window during cluster bootstrap where your policies aren't active yet, and there's no way to prevent a privileged user from removing them. o ⚓ Kubernetes Blog ☛ Kubernetes_v1.36:_Declarative_Validation Graduates_to_GA⠀⇛ In Kubernetes v1.36, Declarative Validation for Kubernetes native types has reached General Availability (GA). For users, this means more reliable, predictable, and better-documented APIs. By moving to a declarative model, the project also unlocks the future ability to publish validation rules via OpenAPI and integrate with ecosystem tools like Kubebuilder. For contributors and ecosystem developers, this replaces thousands of lines of handwritten validation code with a unified, maintainable framework. This post covers why this migration was necessary, how the declarative validation framework works, and what new capabilities come with this GA release. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ Tumbleweed_Monthly_Update_-_April_2026⠀⇛ Three hundred twenty-one developers, students and technology professionals converged on Universidad Libre in Barranquilla, Colombia, for the first-ever openSUSE_America_Summit.

After all, we could simply use VirtualBox or even dual-boot Linux alongside Windows. My answer is simple: curiosity and the desire for a challenge. I’ve been interested in Docker for some time, and while I have had experience with full-stack web development, not much in the world of Docker and containerization. I wanted to experiment with things and learn by doing them, so this project was the answer. From the start, I knew this wouldn't be easy. I expected that a day, maybe two days at most, would be enough to get a graphical Linux system up and running. But the reality of the challenge was quite the opposite.

More so in the personal computing space, which has seen a massive shift in recent years. We’re seeing wildly powerful (and efficient!) computers, but that power has also left older hardware entirely in the dust. Despite being older, much of this hardware is more than capable of handling basic day-to-day tasks, but the gap is widening. Ordinarily, most of these older machines cannot run modern operating systems such as Windows 11 and macOS Tahoe reliably (if at all), which makes us turn toward Linux as our savior once again. While Linux has always been a bit friendlier toward lower-end hardware, you really can’t address physical limitations entirely. In my case, it was an old MacBook Air (11-inch, 2012) with a measly 4GB of system RAM.

Here's the complete, fully Open Source setup featuring Debian, BlueZ, PipeWire, with all the code and configs from our live booth demo. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Shuttle_XPC_cube_SB860R8_targets_workstation_workloads with_Core_Ultra_200_support⠀⇛ Shuttle’s new XPC cube SB860R8 is a 14-liter barebone system supporting Intel Core Ultra 200 series processors. Key features include up to 192 GB DDR5 memory, four 3.5-inch drive bays, PCIe Gen5 expansion, dual 2.5 GbE, and multiple display outputs including HDMI 2.1 with 8K support. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ Boomba_is_a_Roomba_with_every_upgrade_imaginable⠀⇛ At one time, Boomba was just another Roomba robotic vacuum. But then Lucas removed almost all of the original components. At that point, all that was left was the original plastic base and the drive motors — everything else, down to the control board, was swapped out. Lucas even replaced the Roomba’s top with a custom aluminum plate suitable for mounting other parts. * ⚓ Michael Martin ☛ Comparing_the_Z80_and_6502_to_Their_Relatives⠀⇛ My original plan was to present all four new implementations side by side as a way of highlighting the similarities and differences between the various CPUs, with maybe a little historical scene-setting at the start to map out the relationships between all the various chips. This got entirely out of hand so I’ve split it in two; this week’s article is just about comparing the CPUs in their context, and next week I’ll dig into the implementations as a worked example of why these differences matter. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Enthusiast_recreates_43-year-old_Fashion_Company_Apple Lisa_with_FPGA_board_—_first_commercial_computer_with_a_GUI_faithfully cloned_with_modernized_machine⠀⇛ An enthusiast has taken the time to recreate the Fashion Company Apple Lisa, the first commercial PC with a GUI, with an FPGA board. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ New_server-focused_SPEC_CPU_2026_benchmarking_suite has_results_for_a_Raspberry_Pi_5_—_updated_tools_feature_more_tests_and can_run_a_wide_range_of_systems⠀⇛ The SPEC CPU 2026 features more tests and an emphasis on portability, running on everything from fleets of servers down to a Raspberry Pi. * ⚓ Leadedsolder ☛ Loonies_for_Loongsons⠀⇛ Although we usually deal with old computers around these parts, today’s project comes to us from the futuristic year of 2021. What makes it interesting? You can’t buy it at your local store. Or any store, really. Today, we’re going to be getting a salvaged Loongson 3A5000-based motherboard up and running, and figuring out how good Linux is on a domestic Chinese CPU. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1913 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/06/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/06/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 06, 2026 * ⚓ Trail of Bits ☛ C/C++_checklist_challenges,_solved⠀⇛ We recently added a C/C++ security checklist to the Testing Handbook and challenged readers to spot the bugs in two code samples: a deceptively simple Linux ping program and a Windows driver registry handler. If you found the inet_ntoa global buffer gotcha or the missing RTL_QUERY_REGISTRY_TYPECHECK flag, nice work. If not, here’s a full walkthrough of both challenges, plus a deep dive into how the Windows registry type confusion escalates from a local denial of service to a kernel write primitive. * ⚓ Ivan Sagalaev ☛ nfp_-e⠀⇛ I (finally) converted the repository from pijul to git and pushed it to CodeBerg. I still think pijul has a superior architecture as a VCS, but the world has apparently settled on git for good. Also, while I'm happy to not deal with the toxic culture of GitHub, having code published in a weird way means most people wouldn't even want to try it. After 4 years I haven't gotten a single peep of feedback :-) And I still believe in sharing. I hope CodeBerg becomes my sweet spot. * ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ Package_Manager_Threat_Models⠀⇛ The previous post catalogued the bugs that get filed against package managers: path traversal in the extractor, argument injection in the git driver, XSS in the registry’s README renderer. Things you can find by reading code, point at a line number, and patch. This post is the other half. The properties below are working as designed, so nobody files a CVE for them. They’re also where almost every supply-chain incident with a name actually came from. In event-stream, ua-parser-js, left-pad, and xz, the package manager did exactly what it was built to do. If the first post was a list of patterns to grep for, this one is a list of questions to answer in prose. The output of working through it is a few paragraphs per heading describing what the tool actually does, because the answers differ a lot from one tool to the next and most of them aren’t written down anywhere except the source. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ Linuxize ☛ Bash_Split_String:_Split_a_String_by_Delimiter⠀⇛ How to split a string in Bash by a delimiter using read, IFS, tr, awk, and parameter expansion, with practical examples for scripts. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Daniel Lemire ☛ Mapping_Strings_to_Float_Arrays_in_Go:_How_Fast Can_We_Go?⠀⇛ I have been working on constmap, a Go library that builds an immutable map from strings to uint64 values using the binary fuse filter construction. A lookup amounts to one hash, three array reads, and two XORs. There is no comparison, no chaining, no probing. The whole table fits in roughly 9 bytes per key, which often means it fits in cache where a Go map does not. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2009 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/06/Proprietary_Software_and_Windows_TCO.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/06/Proprietary_Software_and_Windows_TCO.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Proprietary Software and Windows TCO⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 06, 2026 * ⚓ NYOB ☛ Microsoft's_Surveillance_Arm_LinkedIn_locks_your_GDPR_rights behind_a_paywall⠀⇛ Data Subject Rights LinkedIn tracks the visits to profile pages. However, if you want to see who has visited your own profile, you have to pay. The Abusive Monopolist Microsoft subsidiary uses these and other ‘insights’ as an incentive for people to sign up for its paid Premium membership. It is unclear whether this tracking of visitors is legal. What is clear, however, is that if this data is displayed as part of a premium membership, it should also be accessible in response to an access request under Article 15 GDPR. But Microsoft's Surveillance Arm LinkedIn refuses to comply – and suddenly cites alleged data protection concerns that supposedly only arise in the case of an access request. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Discord_is_finally_less_of_a_nuisance_to_update_on Linux_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ The Discord team just revealed another major update for the social chat platform, and Linux gets a little attention this time too. Back in March, the Discord team rolled out background replacement for video calls on Linux too. Up until now, Discord on Linux had no auto-update ability. Depending on how you installed it, you might have needed to download it fresh on every major update. That's no longer a problem, as they have finally rolled out their automatic Rust- based updater for Linux so it updates itself just like it does on Windows. Additionally, they're now supporting .rpm and .pkg.tar.zst package formats for installation. * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Orion_for_GNU/Linux_adds_a_content_blocker_and_download manager⠀⇛ A new beta build of Orion for GNU/Linux is available, with the v0.3 update ready for ‘broader, real-world use and feedback’, according to Kagi, the company behind it. Orion for GNU/Linux is a native GTK4/libadwaita web browser powered by WebKitGTK, aiming for feature parity with established macOS version (platform-specific features notwithstanding). * ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Busy,_May_2026_edition⠀⇛ It has been a busy start to the week! If you don’t live or work in web hosting circles, you may still have been impacted by a significant cPanel vulnerability that has wrecked havoc across the web. I don’t host any cPanel, but by golly, I work with some clients who do. And let’s just say… they’re having fun right now. If you know anyone who deals with cPanel, there may be some #hugops in order. * ⚓ Hacker News ☛ Weekly_Recap:_AI-Powered_Phishing,_Android_Spying_Tool, Linux_Exploit,_GitHub_RCE_&_More⠀⇛ cPanel Flaw Comes Under Attack—A critical flaw in cPanel and WebHost Manager (WHM) has come under active exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-41940, could result in an authentication bypass and allow remote attackers to gain elevated control of the control panel. In some cases, the attacks have led to a complete wipe of entire websites and backups. Other attacks have deployed Mirai botnet variants and a ransomware strain called Sorry. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Notepad++_creator_threatens_legal_action_over_macOS port_of_open-source_app_—_developer_says_port_is_fine,_but_branding_is too_far⠀⇛ Notepad++ creator Don Ho has filed a trademark complaint with Clownflare and is threatening further legal action against the developer of a macOS port. * ⚓ Heather J Meeker ☛ Announcing_COSSmology–the_definitive_source_for_COSS business_data [Pseudo-Open Source]⠀⇛ Over the last two decades of advising commercial open source (COSS) companies, I’ve seen the ecosystem mature from a handful of pioneers into a foundational pillar of the modern software industry. When I wrote From Project to Profit, my goal was to provide founders with a handbook for navigating that journey. * § Windows TCO⠀➾ o ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Latvian_national_sentenced_for_ransomware attacks_run_by_former_Conti_leaders⠀⇛ Deniss Zolotarjovs was mostly tasked with putting pressure on the Russia-based crew’s victims, in one case leaking hundreds of children’s health records. * § Entrapment (Microsoft GitHub and Slop)⠀➾ o ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Typical_Microsoft!_Turns_Out_VS_Code_Was_Adding Copilot_as_a_Git_Co-Author_Without_Telling_Anyone⠀⇛ Microsoft reversed the change after developers found the Hey Hi (AI) attribution line appearing even with Copilot disabled. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2148 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/06/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/06/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 06, 2026 * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Tuesday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (kernel, kernel- rt, libcap, LibRaw, openssh, thunderbird, and tigervnc), Debian (libarchive and lxd), Fedora (chromium, insight, nodejs20, rust-sequoia-git, and uriparser), Mageia (kernel, kmod- virtualbox), Oracle (kernel, libcap, thunderbird, and uek- kernel), Red Hat (.NET 10.0, .NET 8.0, .NET 9.0, fence-agents, sudo, and systemd), Slackware (httpd), SUSE (freerdp, hauler, helm, himmelblau, kernel, libspectre, thunderbird, trivy, and xen), and Ubuntu (curl, exim4, and sed). * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Critical,_High-Severity_Vulnerabilities_Patched_in Apache_MINA,_HTTP_Server⠀⇛ The most severe of these security defects could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. * ⚓ APNIC ☛ Rolling_the_root_key⠀⇛ Have DNSSEC-validating recursive resolvers updated their Trust Anchor sets to include KSK-2024, and how can we measure whether this transition has been successfully adopted? * ⚓ Security Week ☛ WhatsApp_Discloses_File_Spoofing,_Arbitrary_URL_Scheme Vulnerabilities⠀⇛ The vulnerabilities were reported to Meta through its bug bounty program and were patched with updates released earlier this year. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ MetInfo,_Weaver_E-cology_Vulnerabilities_in_Attackers’ Crosshairs⠀⇛ The security defects allow unauthenticated, remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through crafted requests. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Critical_Remote_Code_Execution_Vulnerability_Patched_in Android⠀⇛ CVE-2026-0073 affects Android’s System component and it can be exploited without any user interaction.  * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Karakurt_Ransomware_Negotiator_Sentenced_to_Prison⠀⇛ Deniss Zolotarjovs was directly involved in extortion strategies and in negotiations with victim companies. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Critical_Bug_Could_Expose_300,000_Ollama_Deployments_to Information_Theft⠀⇛ Dubbed Bleeding Llama, the heap out-of-bounds read issue can be exploited remotely, without authentication. * ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ From_mandate_to_momentum:_Turning_CISA’s_edge device_directive_into_lasting_capability⠀⇛ BOD 26-02 is more than a mandate.

In this post, I am holding myself accountable. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing that follows has anything to do with my exit from the GNOME Foundation last August. I owe a few folks some apologies from my time as Executive Director. I have apologized to most of them individually already, where I could. But I believe that public accountability is the antidote to public frustration and I hope this contributes, in a small way, to the GNOME community moving forward. First off, I sincerely apologize to Jehan Pagès and Christian Hergert. I was curt with both of you last summer and neither of you deserved it. From July 23rd to August 29th I was dealing with significant sleep deprivation but that’s no excuse for the way I spoke to either of you. I’m sorry. Next, I apologize to the former Executive Directors and active community members who raised concerns to me. Holly, you warned me. Twice. Many other people tried to share their perspectives. I was too focused on the Foundation’s financial situation, and I did not take the time to fully understand what I was hearing from you all. I regret that.

You are no longer a niche group. You are the vanguard that has proven the validity of a concept, and that has made it possible for those politicians who realised that your example was the one to follow – and not that of the lock-in loyalists – to make their case. Today, The Document Foundation can stand before the European institutions, coalitions and the wider ecosystem, and ask difficult questions about the sovereignty of formats because you have built the foundations upon which we stand. The rest of the world is catching up to a position that you have held for twenty years. All of this deserves recognition. Thank you.

It’s the apps, and rightly so. When you rely on specific tools and features for work, switching platforms can feel risky, especially when those exact apps aren’t available on Linux. But after spending some time with Linux, I managed to find alternatives for every app I relied on. In some cases, the replacement felt just as capable, and in others, they were even better. What I expected to be a frustrating adjustment turned out to be anything but.

According to a post shared on X by the official CachyOS account, the distribution has enabled a “tail-call interpreter” in its Python builds, supported by newer compiler versions such as GCC 16. This development introduces a redesigned interpreter loop that uses tail calls instead of the traditional dispatch mechanisms. The approach tweaks how Python executes bytecode instructions, as the aim is to reduce overhead in instruction dispatch and improve runtime efficiency. The change stems from ongoing work in CPython and benchmarks based on it show measurable gains. The average performance improvements indicate roughly 1–5% across standard benchmarking suites, with significantly higher gains in specific workloads that can be sensitive to interpreter overhead.

checkbox; they click through fast, accept defaults, and move on, but the problem is that those defaults are often not what you actually want, so you end up fixing things later that the installer decided for you. * ⚓ Christian Hofstede-Kuhn ☛ Ansible-Native_Quadlets:_Deploying_a_Mastodon Greeter_Bot_with_containers.podman⠀⇛ I’ve covered Podman Quadlets and the broader Podman in Production story already. The pattern is straightforward: drop a .container file into /etc/containers/systemd/, run systemctl daemon-reload, and you have a container managed as a first- class systemd service. No daemon, no Compose runtime, no orchestrator. That works beautifully on a single host; once you have more than one, you want the deployment in version control and applied by a tool that can detect drift. The containers.podman Ansible Collection has quietly become a very nice answer to that. As of recent releases it can generate Quadlet files directly from a podman_container task: you declare the desired container, the module writes the unit file, and the role wraps the rest of the deployment around it. Ansible’s idempotency takes care of the rest. * ⚓ John D Cook ☛ Changing_one_character_in_a_PDF⠀⇛ My first thought was that it had something to do with hyphen being an ASCII character and an en-dash not. Changing a hyphen to an en-dash would make a UTF-8 encoded text file a couple bytes longer. (See why here.) Maybe adding one non-ASCII character could cause the file to include a glyph it didn’t before. I did a couple experiments. I made a minimal LaTeX file with only the text [...] * ⚓ Alexandru Scvorțov ☛ On_zram_swap_and_zswap⠀⇛ I recently converted all my machines from zram swap to zswap. In this post I go over the differences between the two and why zswap is almost certainly better for any general use-case. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Podman_Desktop_on_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ If you manage GNU/Linux servers, you already know the Docker daemon is a security liability sitting in plain sight. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Podman_on_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ If you run containers on a GNU/Linux server [...] o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Incus_on_Fedora_44⠀⇛ Installing container and virtual machine management software on Fedora 44 requires careful preparation and attention to system configuration. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ IPv4_Subnetting_on_GNU/Linux_Explained_with_Examples⠀⇛ If you have ever set up a GNU/Linux server and later discovered that two of your services could not talk to each other [...] o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Podman_Desktop_on_Fedora_44⠀⇛ Managing containers from the terminal is powerful, but there are times when a visual interface just makes the job faster. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Podman_on_Fedora_44⠀⇛ If you want to install Podman on Fedora 44, you picked the right time to do it. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3223 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/06/Updates_on_Development_of_EasyOS_Operating_Systems_Like_Puppy.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/06/Updates_on_Development_of_EasyOS_Operating_Systems_Like_Puppy.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Updates on Development of EasyOS (Operating Systems Like Puppy)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 06, 2026 * ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Menu_search_feature_for_JWM⠀⇛ Forum member l0wt3ch has created this fascinating menu text- search feature for JWM window manager: [...] * ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Restore_ctrl-alt-backspace_to_exit_from_X⠀⇛ It used to work in the old pups. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3253 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/06/Videos_Recent_Shows_and_Clips_About_GNU_Linux.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/06/Videos_Recent_Shows_and_Clips_About_GNU_Linux.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Videos: Recent Shows and Clips About GNU/ Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 06, 2026 * ⚓ 2026-05-04_[Older]_Linux_Ricing_Brings_Back_Steam_Skins_With Millennium⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-05-04_[Older]_Top_10_INSANE_Linux_Mint_ACTIONS_That_Will_Blow_Your Mind!_(RIGHT_CLICK_MAGIC)⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-05-03_[Older]_How_to_autohide_the_panel_on_your_Chromebook⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-05-03_[Older]_The_Future_Of_KDE_Plasma_Looks_Incredible⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-05-03_[Older]_A_New_Folder_Just_Appeared_In_Your_Home_Directory⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-05-03_[Older]_Ubuntu_under_attack,_Big_flaw_affects_all_Linux distros,_Linux_beats_Windows_-_Linux_Weekly_News⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-05-03_[Older]_5_Open_Source_Apps_I'd_Install_Even_On_Windows⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-05-02_[Older]_The_Blender/Anthropic_situation_is_crazy...⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-05-02_[Older]_GNOME_Logout_Button_Situation_Is_Crazy⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-05-02_[Older]_Why_Microsoft’s_Desktop_Monopoly_is_Finally Cracking⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-05-02_[Older]_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS_Review_–_Is_It_Worth_the_Upgrade?⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-05-01_[Older]_New_folder_in_Linux_home_directory!_😯⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-05-01_[Older]_How_to_Install_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS_–_Complete Beginner's_Guide⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-05-01_[Older]_CopyFail_Compromises_The_Last_9_Years_Of_Linux Distros⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-05-01_[Older]_Stop_Breaking_Linux_Updates_-_Use_Topgrade!⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-04-30_[Older]_🔴_Linux_Utility_-_Resolve_Easy_Setup_and_other fixes⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-04-30_[Older]_Incognito_Web_Browsing_Is_NOT_Private!_(Well...Sort Of)⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-04-29_[Older]_Nvidia_&_Intel_focus_on_Linux,_KDE_Connect_redesign, standard_for_digital_apps_-_Linux_Weekly_News⠀⇛ * ⚓ 2026-04-29_[Older]_Protect_Your_Linux_Desktop_From_Malicious_USB Devices⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3337 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/06/Web_Related_News_and_Frameworks_Including_RSS_Raves.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/06/Web_Related_News_and_Frameworks_Including_RSS_Raves.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Web Related News and Frameworks (Including RSS Raves)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 06, 2026 * § Web Browsers/Web Servers/Feed Readers⠀➾ o ⚓ Matt Fantinel ☛ I_hate_that_I_like_Dia_now⠀⇛ They don't seem to be trying to remake Arc, but instead are trying to apply some of Arc's improvements into a more "classic" browser experience.

Even though robust open-source implementations exist along with some documentation, getting it working - especially with Reeder - was not easy. I had to do additional reverse engineering to get all the details right. The original API spec dates back to 2005, uses multiple response formats, and is not particularly well-structured compared to modern REST APIs. o ⚓ Terence Eden ☛ RSS_Feeds_Send_Me_More_Traffic_Than_Google⠀⇛ Obviously, these are two very different types of traffic.

I download the binary for my platform and launch it; this creates a data/ directory and its configuration file. If need be I configure a port number for it plus a timezone and the odd other setting and relaunch the binary. o ⚓ Bryce Wray ☛ A_“new_normal”_update⠀⇛ When I first began using hvm, it was at v.0.9.0. At that point, and for a few versions thereafter, it was providing only one edition of Hugo, the extended one. As a result, hvm’s auto-generated .hvm file needed to give you only the Hugo version number being used by your repo, such as: [...] o ⚓ Stéphane Huc ☛ Get_the_week_number_of_the_year_(tips)⠀⇛ Actually, Hugo (the SSG) is not capable to get a week number!

Linus Torvalds created the Linux kernel, and since then, it has been built upon by an army of programmers. In those 35 years, Linux has gone from a niche project to one of the most installed operating systems of all time, partially thanks to the thousands of variations of distributions available. It has also become synonymous with the supercomputer sector of the tech world. Key to Linux's success in this realm is that it's open source. That means it can be used either commercially or privately for free, however the developer sees fit. With that in mind, having no overhead cost on the core piece of software used to run their servers is immensely appealing to operations building out a supercomputer. [...] Being able to build out a supercomputer to fit the job at hand is of paramount importance over almost everything else. If an OS can't be scaled or pivoted to a new task easily, then it's functionally an albatross around the neck that could bring down the project. Without that level of flexibility and openness, a lot of the world's supercomputers would be a much more rigid, frustrating experience for those who have to use them.
