Some conversions of old pages, the TuxGallery for instance, began a lot sooner. Based on Chronological_Index, we have entered week 201 (since the overhaul) and this coming weekend it'll be exactly a month until_our_anniversary. █

my distribution of choice will be Zorin OS. It's clean, easy to use, reliable, and it offers plenty of customization options that let me make it truly mine. I can make Zorin OS look better, run faster, and function more efficiently. And with the release of Zorin OS 18.1, the developers have created what I believe is the best OS on the market. If you're a Zorin OS user, you might be interested in some of the optimizations I like to apply to the OS. If so, read on.

Announcing the new LibreOffice website! 2026-05-07 Mike Saunders LibreOffice logo, laptop and globe LibreOffice’s website is the main source of information about the software (and project), and typically has 45,000 – 65,000 visitors every day. It is also the place to download the suite, of course, and make donations to support the community. Our website was looking rather old and becoming difficult to maintain, so the team at TDF – with help of the wider LibreOffice community – has been working on a redesign, based on newer technology (Hugo, an open source static site generator). This is built on design work from a few years ago – so thanks again to Dan Gallagher, Cat de Leon, Irene Geller, Helen Tran, Zarema Ross and IBIS Design for their help! And now, the new website is live! It’s currently available in English, Dutch, Spanish, French, Portuguese (Brazil), Finnish, Esperanto, Italian, Kazakh, Ukrainian and Chinese (traditional) – but we’re working on adding more. If you speak a language for which the new website is not yet available, please give us a hand! Join our website mailing list and we can help you to get started. Or start translate immediately in your language: just select your language on this page and select the website project and the “LibreOffice site (Hugo)” component. If you don’t see the component in Weblate, let us know on the mailing list and we’ll add it for your language.

GNOME, the default Ubuntu desktop, introduced built-in screenshot/screencast tool since version 42. It’s great but lacks features such as changing saving directory and image file format. * ⚓ Inkscape ☛ Inkscape_1.4.4_boosts_performance_and_crushes_crashes⠀⇛ Inkscape 1.4.4 is a regular maintenance update for the stable Inkscape 1.4.x line. It primarily fixes many crashes and bugs, but also boosts performance when handling many objects and brings two small new features. * ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ This_Linux_tool_lets_me_mix_distro_packages_without breaking_everything⠀⇛ We’ve all been there once. Imagine going through the trouble of finding an app, only for it to turn out to be incompatible with your OS. Linux distributions can be terribly varied, and packages aren’t always compatible across distros. Using a virtual machine would seem like the logical choice then, but setting it up is a hassle. Enter Distrobox, a tool that lets users run almost any Linux distribution within a containerized environment. It’s been quite a handy tool, especially when attempting to get .deb and .rpm format files to work. * ⚓ TechRadar ☛ NymVPN_finally_brings_split_tunneling_to_Linux,_and_Android users_get_a_new_ad_blocker_—_the_tools_are_in_beta,_and_the_provider wants_to_hear_how_they_work_for_you⠀⇛ NymVPN has rolled out its latest update, version v2026.8, bringing two features that users on specific platforms have been waiting for. The headline additions are split tunneling on Linux and a built-in ad blocker on Android. The tools are both currently in beta, and the provider is eager to hear how they work for you. While NymVPN is still building out its feature set and isn't quite at the level of the best VPN services on the market just yet, the team's regular cadence of updates keeps closing the gap. * ⚓ Tom's Guide ☛ ExpressVPN_rolls_out_desktop_update_across_Mac,_Windows, and_Linux_–_here's_what's_new⠀⇛ ⣿⠛⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⢻⡻⢇⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠉⠀⢠⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⡆⠠⣯⣭⢯⢋⢽⣲⣴⣿⣷⣤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢶⣴⣾⣿⣿⡾⢀⣭⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠛⠃⠘⠛⠃⠀⢄⣤⣤⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣄⡄⠘⠱⢀⣾⠀⠀⡟⠝⣾⣿⣿⣽⣿⣷⣿⣿⣆⣃⣀⣀⣤⣤⣀⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⢀⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣇⣿⣄⣸⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⣠⣤⣶⣶⣖⣷⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣾⣿⣿⢿⣢⣢⢤⣔⣧⣿⣦⡇⡧⢿⢿⣿⣷⣤⣴⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣴⣶⣬⣍⣯⣭⣀⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣟⡿⣷⣯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡹⣿⢗⣙⣿⡍⣽⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣽⠿⣿⣽⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣯⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣻⣿⢿⣏⣟⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣯⣾⣿⣟⣻⢹⣿⣛⢻⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⣶⣟⣁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⡞⡿⣽⣿⣾⣏⣹⣫⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣽⣼⣿⣿⣴⣿⣾⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣾⣶⡁⠀⠀⠻⢿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣯⢿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⡽⡿⣿⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⡾⠓⠶⣾⠋⣁⠀⢹⡇⠉⠀⠈⣧⣀⣿⣿⣻⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⡕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣾⡾⣟⣿⡿⣿⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣁⣀⣀⣿⣾⣿⣶⣾⣇⣀⣀⣸⣽⣥⣾⣳⣿⣴⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣽⣿⣿⣿⣾⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣷⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⡿⠠⠟⠯⡟⠭⠉⠉⢹⠏⠛⠿⠟⢻⡍⠀⠰⢸⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡻⣁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣿⣿⣷⣿⡟⢿⣦⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⡈⣿⣿⣿⣸⣿⣿⣿⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣿⡟⣿⣿⡇⢨⣽⡿⡡⣾⣿⢿⣧⣿⢻⣿⢩⡏⣿⡏⢻⣿⣿⣿⡷⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢐⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⣻⣿⠹⠇⠞⣏⡅⢎⠙⢹⡏⠙⠙⠈⣽⠗⠸⠉⢽⡗⢛⢛⢽⣿⣿⣿⣫⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢿⣻⣿⢣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⡙⡕⣷⡻⠵⠾⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠛⠛⢻⣿⠟⠻⠻⢻⡟⠛⠛⢛⣿⠏⠛⠛⣿⣟⠛⣻⣿⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⣶⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠓⠛⣿⣵⡥⣶⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣧⢰⣾⣿⡀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⠀⢈⡿⠘⠀⣴⣻⣟⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠃⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠨⠝⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⠛⠛⢻⡟⠛⠻⣿⠟⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠉⡉⠻⡎⠈⠀⠠⠶⠠⠼⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣦⢽⢿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣝⣿⡶⢾⡇⠺⣴⣏⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⠀⢠⣝⣖⠀⠀⢀⣶⣦⣶⣦⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣛⣩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣳⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣋⣏⣀⣋⣿⢿⣧⣿⣻⣽⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣯⢿⣟⣿⢽⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⡭⢿⣯⣿⣿⣾⡏⠹⣿⠭⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⡿⣻⣿⣾⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⠛⣛⣯⡿⢟⣛⣋⣭⣿⣏⢽⣿⣿⣿⣽⡷⢺⣵⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⠿⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡆⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⡿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠁⠹⠿⠿⠉⠙⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠃⠀⠉⠉⠙⠋⠀⠐⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 561 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/07/fomeOS_Debian_based_Linux_distribution_designed_for_kiosk_syste.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/07/fomeOS_Debian_based_Linux_distribution_designed_for_kiosk_syste.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ fomeOS – Debian-based Linux distribution designed for kiosk systems⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on May 07, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇fomeOS⦈_ Quoting: fomeOS - Debian-based Linux distribution designed for kiosk systems - LinuxLinks — fomeOS is a Debian-based Linux distribution designed for kiosk systems.

That is the question we addressed during our Exploratory Dialogue, a major event we hosted on 29 April, 2026, at UNESCO House in Paris, France, to celebrate the Open Heritage Statement and explore its synergies with UNESCO’s priorities in tackling the most urgent problems facing the world today.  * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ Robin Berjon ☛ The_Direction_of_Interoperability⠀⇛ One red flag is that, in tech policy, the terms are often used to lobby for tech monopolies, as in this report (to give just one example) in which the authors claim that "horizontal interoperability may reduce multihoming" and even that "as interoperability is also possible between gatekeepers, it could even strengthen their position vis- à-vis new entrants by making them more central for users." A very short investigation shows that these worrying claims are supported at best by some armchair musings from non-practitioners and at worst by methodologically jocular papers (like this one in which a lot of serious-sounding words are supported by nothing other than a superficial online survey). I wouldn't go so far as to state with confidence that the distinction was invented to confuse discussions of interoperability, but it certainly seems to be used that way more often than not. More worryingly, however, it's not so much that the horizontal/vertical distinction in interoperability can never be useful. Simplistic concepts can be useful. The problem is much more that its power to describe reality is so stringently and arbitrarily limited that it can only lead to a paucity of imagined solutions. We need to do better. o ⚓ Robert Alexander ☛ How_an_HTTP_header_caused_time.gov_to_skew from_UTC⠀⇛ In the United States, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) maintains the official U.S. time reference. NIST distributes this reference to enable all sorts of applications from meteorology to GPS satellites. Programmers are probably most familiar with distributing time using the network time protocol (NTP), which NIST supports by operating several NTP servers. NIST also runs the beautiful time.gov website which provides an official time reference via a web page. Its an easy way to check the time if you don’t trust the clock on your computer’s taskbar. On a recent project I needed a trustworthy clock and time.gov was a convenient option. To validate that the provided reference was accurate, I opened time.gov in two browser windows side-by-side, but found that the provided clock offset estimates disagreed by a margin larger than I could tolerate. When I compared to another source, an NTP client, I found even more disagreement. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1111 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/07/Games_Stop_Killing_Games_Layoffs_and_Writing_About_Computer_Gam.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/07/Games_Stop_Killing_Games_Layoffs_and_Writing_About_Computer_Gam.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Stop Killing Games, Layoffs, and Writing About Computer Games⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 07, 2026 * ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ Practicing_writing_about_games⠀⇛ I want to add my own contribution to this network of ideas.

Alongside the default edition of Ubuntu 26.04 last week, editions with seven other desktops were released, five of which still offer X.org. Just under a fortnight ago, we covered the launch of Ubuntu 26.04. Ubuntu's default desktop is GNOME, and this version contains GNOME 50, which is Wayland-only. It can still run X11 apps, but you can't log in using X.org any longer – which also means many traditional X11-based tools, from desktop recording to remote control to logging in over the network, no longer work. There are alternative ways to do most things, but work habits may need to be adjusted.

While a recent study has revealed that GPU memory is similarly vulnerable, the security implications remain largely under-explored. To advance this line of research, we introduce GeForge, an end-to-end Rowhammer attack that exploits bit flips induced in GPU memory to achieve system-level compromise. At its core, GeForge corrupts GPU page tables to seize control of address translation, enabling arbitrary access to the entire GPU memory. Moreover, by exploiting a special mapping feature in the GPU page table, GeForge extends its reach to directly access host memory. To make GeForge practical under default system settings, we develop novel techniques that eliminate restrictive assumptions in prior work. Our techniques include a method for aligning offline-profiled physical address mappings to runtime GPU allocations and a memory massaging strategy that steers target GPU page table structures into vulnerable locations via the stock driver allocator. In addition, we improve the hammering pattern to trigger many more bit flips than prior work. With these approaches, we successfully mount GeForge on widely deployed NVIDIA GPUs, including both workstation-class and consumer-grade ones. We show that GeForge allows an attacker to arbitrarily read and modify data across GPU contexts. More crucially, we demonstrate that GeForge can help the attacker escalate privileges to root on the host system. * ⚓ Ars Technica ☛ New_Rowhammer_attacks_give_complete_control_of_machines running_Nvidia_GPUs⠀⇛ The attacks exploit memory hardware’s increasing susceptibility to bit flips, in which 0s stored in memory switch to 1s and vice versa. In 2014, researchers first demonstrated that repeated, rapid access—or “hammering”—of memory hardware known as DRAM creates electrical disturbances that flip bits. A year later, a different research team showed that by targeting specific DRAM rows storing sensitive data, an attacker could exploit the phenomenon to escalate an unprivileged user to root or evade security sandbox protections. Both attacks targeted DDR3 generations of DRAM. * ⚓ Hacker Noon ☛ The_Future_of_Linux_Gaming:_Why_Intel_Merged_Jay_Into Mesa⠀⇛ Intel recently merged “Jay,” a clean-slate shader compiler backend, into Mesa. While Intel already has a mature compiler stack in the legacy BRW backend, Jay represents a fundamental shift in how Intel GPUs handle code on Linux. You can track the technical implementation in the official merge request here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⢀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⣀⢀⢀⢀⠀⣀⢀⣀⣀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⢀⣀⡀⣀⠀⣀⣀⣀⢀⣀⣀⣀⢀⣀⡀⡀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⢀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⢀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢀⢀⢀⠀⠀⠀⡀⢀⢀⣀⣀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠿⠹⠹⠿⠧⠌⠿⠿⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠇⠯⠽⠽⠿⠿⠿⠛⠿⠧⠿⠿⠿⠸⠿⢿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣧⠿⠿⠿⠿⠯⠿⠿⠯⠸⠿⠿⠟⠿⠟⠸⠿⠧⠠⠼⠾⠿⠟⠸⠿⠇⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠾⠧⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⢲⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠖⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠿⠿⠿⢹⠧⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡼⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣄⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⣉⣩⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣉⠉⠉⢉⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣇⣤⣤⣤⣦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⢿⣷⣦⣠⣤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡏⠉⢩⡏⠋⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠈⢙⣿⠿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣲⣶⣶⣶⣶⡀⠈⣧⣤⣬⣭⡭⢽⣽⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣿⣿⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⢀⣽⣵⣶⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠹⠿⠿⠉⠁⢸⡟⣩⣽⣶⣿⣾⣷⣾⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⡄⠀⠀⠈⣭⡭⡭⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⢀⣴⣆⠀⣾⢧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠙⠉⠙⠉⠙⠋⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⣿⣾⣿⣯⠀⣽⣄⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢀⣤⣤⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡟⢯⠉⢻⠬⠀⢿⣈⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⠛⠟⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⢈⢑⣛⣛⣛⣛⣻⣿⣿⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣻⠋⠀⠻⠿⠽⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠁⠀⢀⣠⣤⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⠚⣛⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⡟⠿⣿⣫⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢿⣟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⡟⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣺⣿⣿⣻⡃⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣈⣁⣈⣉⢁⠀⠈⢙⠷⠶⠾⠿⠿⢿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠶⠾⢛⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠷⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠋⠋⠉⠉⠋⠉⠙⠉⢁⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⣭⠭⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠌⠩⠷⠍⠄⠄⠀⠁⢀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣸⣿⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⡀⢪⡥⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⢸⢬⡇⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣬⣿⣿⣥⣤⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠬⠭⠿⠥⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡄⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢧⣬⡟⠾⠖⠶⠶⠷⠶⠀⢸⢸⡇⡇⠀⢀⣒⣒⣒⣒⣲⣒⣠⢴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢀⢶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⢆⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⡅⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠉⠀⠁⠁⠀⠘⢿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡿⠈⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠂⠒⠛⠒⠒⠒⠓⠂⠀⠀⠀⢤⣤⣤⣽⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣤⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⠟⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣤⣀⣤⣤⣭⡝⣛⣿⣿⣻⣿⣻⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⢿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣍⣭⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠉⠉⠉⠈⠁⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠈⠁⠀⠉⠉⠈⠁⠉⠁⠈⠉⠉⠀⠈⠀⠉⠉⠁⠀⠈⠉⠉⠈⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1598 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/07/Incus_7_0_LTS_and_Kubernetes_v1_36_in_Review.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/07/Incus_7_0_LTS_and_Kubernetes_v1_36_in_Review.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Incus 7.0 LTS and Kubernetes v1.36 in Review⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 07, 2026 * ⚓ LWN ☛ Incus_7.0_LTS_released⠀⇛ Version_7.0 of the Incus container and virtual-machine management system has been released. * ⚓ Kubernetes Blog ☛ Kubernetes_v1.36:_Server-Side_Sharded_List_and Watch⠀⇛ As Kubernetes clusters grow to tens of thousands of nodes, controllers that watch high-cardinality resources like Pods face a scaling wall.

The learning curve hasn't been anywhere near as substantial as I would have expected, and even though I haven't had to use the terminal as much as people led me to believe I would, there have still been a few things that I wanted to try with it. But as someone considering switching from Windows 11 to Linux full-time, the terminal can be an incredibly scary piece of kit to mess around with. That's when I turned to Claude.

It's a fundamentally different metaphor for interacting with a computer. On a typical PC, Mac, or Linux machine, you're usually managing a virtual space modeled on physical reality. You move windows and documents around on a "Desktop." With a tiling windows manager (WM), that metaphor disappears. Windows don't have spots on your desktop anymore. There is no desktop. You don't move stuff around, you navigate between things. The shift takes some time to internalize. I wanted to click on the background, drag a window to a spot that wasn't available. The habits of 30 years plus of standard computing won't go away any time soon. But, over time, something clicked. I wasn't worrying about moving my windows around so I could see what was behind a foreground window. I was just working.

It just works. But for those who want stronger security guarantees, there's an alternative worth knowing about—and living with it taught me more than I expected. What's a hardened Linux kernel? The locked-down foundation most users never see The Linux kernel is the core of any Linux-based operating system, sitting between your hardware and everything running on top of it. A hardened kernel, then, takes that foundation and applies a set of security-focused patches, compile-time options, and runtime restrictions designed to reduce the attack surface available to malicious software or bad actors. The most well-known implementation is linux-hardened, available in distributions like Arch Linux, though similar configurations exist across the ecosystem under different names and with varying levels of aggressiveness.

When defining QML types in C++ the buildsytem tries to capture as much information about the type as possible, so that tools like qmllint, qmlls, and the QML compiler know about what API the type provides. If that information cannot be gathered the code will still work fine at runtime, but the development experience will be degraded. * ⚓ Making_wl_shm_fast⠀⇛ While most new applications use the GPU for rendering to achieve better performance and battery life, there are some new applications and a lot of older applications that still use CPU rendering. More specifically relevant for KDE, while QtQuick is GPU accelerated, QtWidgets uses CPU rendering. With CPU rendering, instead of sharing GPU buffers with the compositor, wl_shm is used to present images. “shm” stands for “shared memory”, and is literally just some system memory allocated by the app and shared with the compositor. * ⚓ Qt ☛ Qt_Design_Studio_4.8.2_Released⠀⇛ Following our 4.8.1_release, which introduced the Qt Design Studio Hey Hi (AI) Assistant in beta, we are back with a significant evolution of that feature, along with a few other updates. The 4.8.1 release laid the groundwork, a prompt-based tool that could generate QML from a natural language description or an image. That was a strong foundation, and the feedback we received helped shape where we took it next. In 4.8.2, the assistant has been rebuilt around a fundamentally more powerful architecture, and the difference in what you can accomplish with it is substantial. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1912 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/07/KDE_Gear_26_04_1_Is_Out_with_More_Improvements_for_Your_Favorit.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/07/KDE_Gear_26_04_1_Is_Out_with_More_Improvements_for_Your_Favorit.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ KDE Gear 26.04.1 Is Out with More Improvements for Your Favorite KDE Apps⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on May 07, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇KDE_Gear_26.04.1⦈_ KDE Gear 26.04.1 is here to improve the search pop-up in the Dolphin file manager to stay hidden when launching kfind, add support for using the middle click to close a tab in the Kate text editor when the Close button is disabled, add an extractor script for monbus.es tickets to KItinerary, and prevent closing of tabs by QTabBar on middle mouse clicks in the Konsole terminal emulator.

This enhancement is also expected to arrive in backdoored Windows 11 too. [...] Over time, additional CPPC features have been added to the kernel, which include the recent "performance priority" feature that's on track for introduction in AMD's Zen 6 architecture (the company currently has the Zen 5-based Ryzen 9000 series on the desktop). As such, we expect Windows 11 26H2 and 27H2 to have optimizations for them. * ⚓ Linux mailing lists ☛ Add_CPPC_HighestFreq_support⠀⇛ On some systems, the boost ratio cannot be accurately calculated using linear interpolation of CPPC performance values because the performance-to-frequency mapping is not linear across all cores. This series introduces support for the CPPC HighestFreq register. This register is under a proposal with ASWG at the moment and trending for inclusion in ACPI 6.7. This optionally provides the actual highest frequency eliminating the need for interpolation. When available, this frequency value is used for more accurate CPU capacity calculations and boost ratio determination. This series brings the existing CPPC definitions up to ACPI 6.6 and then adds support for the ACPI 6.7 proposal. * ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Phomemo_thermal_printer_drivers_for_Linux⠀⇛ I posted recently about purchasing a Phomemo P831 thermal transfer printer: [...] I have made the Linux drivers into a PET package, this is for the full range of Phomemo thermal printers, and it will be builtin to the next release of EasyOS. * ⚓ GNOME ☛ IBM's_Richard_Hughes:_LVFS_Sponsorship_Announcement⠀⇛ Some great news: I’m pleased to announce that both Dell and Lenovo have agreed to be premier sponsors for the Linux_Vendor Firmware_Service_(LVFS) as part of our new sustainability effort. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2101 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/07/_Linux_Foundation_Openwashing_Services_for_Fake_Coins_Slop_and_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/07/_Linux_Foundation_Openwashing_Services_for_Fake_Coins_Slop_and_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 'Linux' Foundation Openwashing Services for Fake-Coins, Slop, and Other Ponzi Schemes⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 07, 2026 * ⚓ PR Newswire ☛ Linea_Consortium_Becomes_Premier_Member_of_Linux Foundation_Decentralized_Trust;_Contributes_Linea_Stack_as_Newest_Code Project [Ed: Nothing to do with Linux]⠀⇛ As a premier member, Linea Consortium takes on a governance role within LF Decentralized Trust.

The directory structure would be largely the same. They would be able to run many of their favorite utilities. They might even be able to use their favorite editor, or at least a reasonable facsimile. There’s a good reason for this. Unix concepts have become the lingua franca of computer science. The main reason is historical. Because AT&T, Bell Labs’ parent company, couldn’t sell computers or software due to a consent decree in exchange for a monopoly on telephone service in the US. They could give away copies at a nominal cost to universities. These low-cost licenses included the source code, but universities were on their own for support.

It has also, as result of those discussions, been through some significant changes since that initial posting. So it is not surprising that a suggestion that it needed to be rewritten yet again was not entirely well received. How much more rewriting will actually be needed is unclear, but more discussion appears certain. Famfs is designed to support large, read-mostly filesystems stored in shared memory. In practice, this means huge data sets kept in CXL-attached memory that is made available to multiple systems simultaneously. In normal usage, software running on those systems will access this data by mapping it directly into its address space with mmap(), so that the data is all immediately accessible without system calls, and without going through the system's page cache. It is possible to perform normal filesystem reads and writes, though write access is only minimally supported. * ⚓ On_pages_and_folios_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ The kernel coverage here at LWN often touches on memory- management topics and, as a result, tends to talk a lot about both pages and folios. As the folio transition in the kernel has moved forward, it has often become difficult to decide which term to use in writing that is meant to be both approachable and technically correct. As this work continues, it will be increasingly common to use "folio" rather than page. This article is intended to be a convenient reference for readers wanting to differentiate the two terms or understand the state of this transition. * ⚓ The_rest_of_the_7.1_merge_window_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ By the time Linus Torvalds released 7.1-rc1 and closed the 7.1 merge window, 12,996 non-merge changesets had been pulled into the mainline repository; just over 9,000 of those arrived after the first-half summary was written. These changes were more driver-oriented than those seen earlier, but still also included many new features across the kernel as a whole. Aside from the specific changes, it is worth noting that 2,011 developers contributed changes during the 7.1 merge window; 342 of those developers were first-time contributors to the kernel. The trend of increasing numbers of new developers coming into the community that was described in the development statistics article for 7.0 appears to be continuing. ⡏⠉⢹⢹⠉⡏⡏⢹⢹⠉⠉⡏⡏⠉⢹⠉⠉⡏⠉⢹⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⡆⠈⢹⠉⠉⡏⡏⢹⢹⠉⠉⡏⡏⢹⠉⠉⠉⡏⠉⢹⠉⠉⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠧⠤⠼⠼⠤⠧⠧⠼⠼⠠⠀⠇⠇⠠⠸⠀⠄⠇⠄⠸⠠⠀⠀⠇⠀⠸⠀⠀⠄⠇⠠⠼⠤⠤⠧⠧⠼⠼⠤⠤⠧⠧⠼⠤⠤⠤⠧⠤⠼⠤⠤⠧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2366 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/07/Mozilla_Trying_to_Revive_Interest_in_Firefox_Using_Slop_Which_N.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/07/Mozilla_Trying_to_Revive_Interest_in_Firefox_Using_Slop_Which_N.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Mozilla Trying to "Revive Interest in Firefox" Using Slop (Which Nobody Wants), Thoughts On Thunderbird Pro ($72 Per Year)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 07, 2026 * ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ Can_‘Smart_Window’_Revive_Interest_in_Firefox?⠀⇛ Jack Wallen put Firefox's new Hey Hi (AI) feature through its paces to see whether opt-in intelligence can win back users from other browsers. * ⚓ Kev Quirk ☛ My_Inital_Thoughts_On_Thunderbird_Pro⠀⇛ With that in mind, TB Pro is a hosted email service by the Thunderbird team that includes email, contacts, calendar, secure file sending, and an appointment system that lets people book time with you.

You got points for having no website, and up to 3 for past CVEs. A couple for being written in C, a couple for popularity, one or two for network exposure or processing untrusted data. The single heaviest term, worth up to 5 on its own, was having zero contributors in the last twelve months. This is a model of a specific failure: a widely-deployed C library, parsing bytes off the wire, that everyone has stopped maintaining. It is a model of OpenSSL in early 2014, which is fair enough given why the census was commissioned. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-05-03_[Older]_ANNOUNCE:_Perl.Wiki_V_1.45_etc⠀⇛ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2026-04-29_[Older]_Welcome_to_the_Perl_Toolchain_Summit 2026!⠀⇛ * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ Python_packaging_council_approved_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ The Python_packaging_world now has a formal governance council, of the form described in PEP 772 ("Packaging Council governance process"), which was approved_by_the steering_council on April 16. It has been over a year since the PEP was first proposed in February 2025 and it has undergone lengthy discussions in multiple postings to the Python_discussion_forum. The packaging council will have "broad authority over packaging standards, tools, and implementations"; it will consist of five members who will be elected in a vote that is likely to come in June—after PyCon_US_2026 is held mid-May. The packaging council is modeled on the steering council and the more recent typing_council. It is meant to be the decision-making body for Python packaging; the steering council will explicitly delegate its PEP-deciding role for relevant PEPs to the packaging council. Currently, the steering council has appointed Paul Moore and Donald Stufft as delegates to decide on packaging PEPs under the auspices of the Python_packaging_authority (PyPA). The PyPA is a loose organization of packaging projects; it predates PEP 609 ("Python Packaging Authority (PyPA) Governance") from 2019 that set out to document how the group operates. The Packaging_working_group was set up by the Python_Software_Foundation (PSF) to help organize packaging projects, some of which attracted grants from sponsors, such as the overhaul_of_the_Python_Package Index (PyPI) in 2017. As PEP 772 points out, however, neither of those two groups has a "community elected body", which is what the PEP is meant to address. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Anton Zhiyanov ☛ Solod_v0.1:_Go_ergonomics,_practical_stdlib, native_C_interop⠀⇛ Solod (So) is a system-level language with Go syntax and zero runtime.

Several fixes across Paketo Buildpacks repositories were necessary so UBI 8 builders could consistently build applications for Java and Node.js. * ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ Fedora_Announces_Podman_6.0_Test_Days_–_May_11-15, 2026⠀⇛ With Podman 6 bringing big under‑the‑hood networking and modernization changes, Fedora is calling on experienced users to put the daemonless container engine through its paces. * ⚓ Peter 'CzP' Czanik ☛ Fedora_44,_CentOS_7_and_Amazon_GNU/Linux_syslog-ng questions⠀⇛ Fedora 44 was announced last week: syslog-ng 4.11 is part of it. While checking the Fedora Copr build service for Fedora 44, I realized that CentOS 7 and Amazon GNU/Linux 2023 packages are also there. I have a few questions about those for you! * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Why_automated_OS_upgrades_still_need_a_human_in_the loop [Ed: Slop]⠀⇛ "Where’s the AI?" the boss asks, somewhere between desperate and annoyed. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ The_virtualization_pivot_and_why_enterprise_IT’s next_move_will_determine_the_next_decade⠀⇛ For a long time, virtualization was a "set it and forget it" part of the stack. That isn't the case anymore. Shifting commercial models and the demands of AI workloads have turned what used to be a routine renewal into an urgent decision. For many, the immediate priority is finding a lower-risk migration path to protect current operations. But as we look toward next week’s discussions at Red Hat Summit, it’s important to recognize that the platform you choose today will serve as the operational foundation for your infrastructure and determine your ability to innovate and meet what the business demands next. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ F5_AI_Guardrails_quickstart:_Answering_the_hard questions [Ed: Mindless slop-pushing marketing]⠀⇛ Then the security review starts: [...] * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Accelerate_innovation_and_govern_integrity_with_Red Hat_Satellite_6.19 [Ed: And some more slop]⠀⇛ Whether you’re migrating to image mode-based Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), handling hybrid cloud virtualization on Red Hat OpenShift, or spinning up Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for AI-assisted debugging, Satellite 6.19 gives you the control you need to accelerate innovation while governing integrity. It’s your environment—Satellite just ensures it stays stable, compliant, and fully sovereign. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Introducing_virtualization_platform_autopilot⠀⇛ The latest releases of Red Bait OpenShift's assisted_installer now include a virtualization bundle, which provides the recommended set of operators commonly utilized with Red_Hat OpenShift_Virtualization. This simplification of operator delivery and installation in disconnected environments is the foundation for a new feature: Virtualization platform autopilot, available as a Developer Preview in Red Bait OpenShift Virtualization 4.22. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Integrate_zero_trust_workload_identity_manager_with_Red_Bait OpenShift_GitOps⠀⇛ By incorporating identities provided by SPIFFE and SPIRE, Argo CD can communicate with remote clusters without the need for long-lived tokens. This is made possible by components from the open source community, specifically KIND as the Kubernetes runtime environment, and the upstream Argo CD project. Red Bait OpenShift has included support for Argo CD as OpenShift GitOps for some time now, and starting in OpenShift 4.20 support for SPIFFE and SPIRE projects is available as the zero_trust workload_identity_manager. In this article, I demonstrate how OpenShift GitOps can leverage identities provided by zero trust workload identity manager to secure access for the management of remote OpenShift instances. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Using_eBPF_in_Red_Bait_products⠀⇛ eBPF (formerly known as extended Berkeley Packet Filter) has become a foundational technology in the GNU/Linux kernel, which is getting a lot of traction. At Red Hat, we have been supportive of eBPF since its introduction and have adopted the technology throughout our portfolio.. With eBPF continually evolving with new capabilities and spanning more and more domains, this article provides a high-level overview of the way eBPF is integrated in Red Bait products, and outlines the options available to you for creating your own eBPF-powered solutions. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_we_made_one_data_layer_serve_the_UI,_the_mocks,_and_the E2E_tests⠀⇛ This is the final installment of a four-part series.

Strawberry is in the latter category; it has a bumper crop of features, including smart playlists, support for editing music metadata tags, the ability to organize music files, and more. Strawberry is something of an old-school music manager; it is designed for users who are serious about maintaining a local music collection rather than simply consuming whatever is available via streaming services. Its set of features includes just about everything users need for importing new music, creating playlists for every occasion, and weeding out duplicate songs, as well as maintaining an accurate and searchable database of the collection. It's written in C++, uses the Qt 6 framework, depends on GStreamer for codec support, and is available under the GPLv3.

assume is permanent, but what the rm command actually does is remove the directory entry and decrement the file’s link count, and if any process still has that file open, the kernel keeps the underlying inode alive until the last file descriptor pointing to it is closed. * ⚓ Peter Hofmann ☛ The_occasional_`ECONNRESET`_(part_1/?)⠀⇛ Two services running on the same machine. One of them opens a listening TCP socket bound to localhost, the other one connects to that. They exchange data. Every now and then, the service that initiated the connection gets an ECONNRESET while reading data from the socket -- but no other errors show up in the logs, no crashes, nothing. What's going on? * ⚓ Herman Õunapuu ☛ How_I_self-host_this_blog_at_home_with_a_dynamic_IPv4 address,_IPv6_prefix,_and_a_dash_of_Wireguard⠀⇛ Networking has long been my Achilles heel. I know the very basics, but the more complex areas of networking have been a bit puzzling to me. By the time I figured out how IPv4 works, I found IPv6 and that my ISP supports it. Back to square one. That didn’t stop me from learning some bits, and after 8+ years of self-hosting as a hobby, I’ve settled on a setup that works for me and overcomes common residential internet connection nuances, such as dynamic IPv4 addresses and changing IPv6 prefixes. I’m sharing these tips and tricks with the goal of helping out other hobbyists out there that happen to share a similar stack. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Mesa_Drivers_on_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_WPS_Office_on_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Inkscape_on_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ If you work with SVG files, logos, or technical diagrams on Linux, you need a solid vector editor. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Fish_Shell_on_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ If you spend several hours a day in a GNU/Linux terminal, the shell you use matters more than most people realize. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_OrientDB_on_Debian_13⠀⇛ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_VLC_Media_Player_on_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ Ubuntu 26.04 LTS “Resolute Raccoon” ships with GNOME Videos (Totem) as the default media player, but it struggles to play common formats like MKV, H.264, and AAC [...] * ⚓ How_to_Install_Ubuntu_on_the_R36_Ultra⠀⇛ As the resident e-waste guy that shares a home with way too many handheld emulation systems, I’m always on the lookout for fun projects to push these noble little machines into fun new territory.
