There are dozens of different distros available, some have totally different user interfaces, while others just offer quality of life improvements. Whether you're a Linux newcomer or someone just looking for an operating system that requires less tinkering, I'd recommend starting with one of Fedora's Atomic desktops.

The basic flow looks like this: [...] * ⚓ Tom ☛ My_journey_to_the_BSDs_|_Pertho.net⠀⇛ Around 2003, I found a pizza box SparcStation IPX. This was a relic from the early to mid 90s so about 10 years old at the time. It didn't have a working SCSI CD-ROM drive so I set up a TFTP server and wiped the SunOS 4 on it with NetBSD on it. I don't recall the version I put on it. I think it was NetBSD 1.5 or 1.6. I think I even tried FreeBSD 4.x on my old Thinkpad T23 (Pentium III) at one point, but I'm not sure why I dropped it and I put OpenBSD 3.6 on it later. I really liked OpenBSD's philosophy: Keep the code simple and concise, remove code where it's not needed and use SANE defaults. It really resonated with me. After years of dealing with chaotic Windows and at the time, Linux was really strong, but had started to show signs of splintering. (Around the 2.2 or 2.4 kernel) The BSDs had a cohesive system, where the base and the kernel were made together and there were sane and reasonable goals. NetBSD was for running on all kinds of hardware, OpenBSD for security and firewalls (but it makes a great desktop system too!), and FreeBSD which was aimed at servers. * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ The BSD Now Podcast ☛ BSD_Now_662:_I_need_a_hero⠀⇛ Cybersecurity Looks Like Proof of Work Now, Compensating for RAM Constraints with L2ARC on ZFS, GhostBSD 26.1, and more... ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 386 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/08/Content_Management_Systems_CMS_Static_Site_Generators_SSG_WordP.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/08/Content_Management_Systems_CMS_Static_Site_Generators_SSG_WordP.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG): WordPress, Hugo, and "writing a blog post without a screen"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 08, 2026 * ⚓ dwaves.de ☛ wordpress_why_why_why_oh_no_it_was_debian_(Uncaught Exception:_DateTimeZone::__construct():_Unknown_or_bad_timezone)⠀⇛ * ⚓ Kirill A Korinsky ☛ Hugo_Site_Publishing_with_Respectful_Caching_and IndexNow_Submission⠀⇛ Hugo builds static pages; publishing determines whether deployed artifacts carry accurate cache validators and whether search engines receive explicit update notification. The implementation separates Hugo generated deployment artifacts, an mtime manifest and an IndexNow payload, from publication mechanics; publishing script restores filesystem mtimes, aligns .gz artifacts with their sources, deploys through rsync, and submits the current URL list. * ⚓ James G ☛ Writing_a_blog_post_without_a_screen⠀⇛ This is my first ever blog post written without a display. I have wanted a tool like this for a while, but my motivation for finally building something was seeing Jo's excellent implementation of the idea. Jo used a Raspberry Pi 400 with a bash script that, on boot, opens a "nano" file into which you can write. Jo's implementation also automatically copied the text file in which you were working over to a flash drive. My script as-is only saves the file to disk, so it can be retrieved later. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 436 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/08/Dirty_Frag_Linux_Kernel_Flaw_Allows_Local_Privilege_Escalation_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/08/Dirty_Frag_Linux_Kernel_Flaw_Allows_Local_Privilege_Escalation_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Dirty Frag Linux Kernel Flaw Allows Local Privilege Escalation, Patch Now⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on May 08, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Dirty_Frag⦈_ Dirty Frag is a local privilege escalation vulnerability affecting Linux kernel modules that support ESP (Encapsulating Security Protocol), one of the protocols used in IPsec (Internet Protocol Security). This vulnerability is actually split into two CVEs, CVE-2026-43284 and CVE-2026-43500 (NVD entry pending). The first vulnerability impacts the modules that provide support for ESP (Encapsulating Security Protocol), which is used for IPsec (Internet Protocol Security), while the second vulnerability impacts the modules that provide support for RxRPC, a protocol used for the AFS (Andrew File System) distributed file system.

This year we have eleven individuals committed to open science, bringing together a rich diversity of backgrounds and perspectives. The team is made up of people joining the program for the first time, former Champions returning as mentors, and experienced mentors from previous cohorts returning to continue to strengthen this community. This year’s mentors come from a variety of disciplines and countries, and are active voices in the R community in Latin America and beyond. With their guidance, the new group of Champions will not only develop their projects, but also grow as leaders in open science and research software development. * ⚓ Perl ☛ Perl_Toolchain_Summit_2026_-_Vienna⠀⇛ This year, I was once again honored to be invited to the Perl Toolchain Summit (PTS), held in Vienna.

We knew it worked well, was sufficiently cheap, and we could likely cut down the overall planning overhead given our past experience there. And, indeed, planning was minimal, re-using much of the "playbook" we developed for our first meeting last year. We spent most of our preparation time on revamping our meeting website.

In the v1.36 release, DRA continues to mature, bringing a wave of feature graduations, critical usability improvements, and new capabilities that extend the flexibility of DRA to native resources like memory and CPU, and support for ResourceClaims in PodGroups. * § Graphics Stack⠀➾ o ⚓ Collabora ☛ Optimizing_memory_access_in_NIR⠀⇛ A complete breakdown of Mesa’s NIR compiler detailing how it optimizes shader memory access with SSA promotion, deref analysis, copy propagation, and store elimination to reduce memory traffic and improve GPU performance. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ How_To_Better_Enjoy_VR_On_Linux⠀⇛ Linux folks are used to having to roll many of their own solutions, and better Linux desktop usability is a goal of the WayVR project, which aims to provide desktop control and app launching from within a VR session. VR applications can already stream from Linux to standalone headsets with projects like WiVRn, but what WayVR does is let one launch programs and access desktop screens within VR. Put another way, instead of the headset being limited to acting as a pseudo-monitor that only receives the output of an already-running VR application, the headset and controllers can now be used to interact with one’s computer as if one were physically sitting at it. Controls and user interface are highly flexible and help users to do anything they need — including clicking, typing, and launching applications. It’s a considerable step forward for convenience and general usability. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ David Bushell ☛ Unscrewing_lightbulbs⠀⇛ OPNsense is the only non-Debian operating system in my homelab. I manage it entirely via the web GUI. The 26.1 update had quite a few significant changes. My DHCP setup was considered “legacy” and my firewall rules required a manual migration. Despite dumbening my smart home my lightbulbs still demand a WiFi connection. I program them myself to avoid Home Assistant and proprietary apps. Turns out I hard- coded IP addresses (discovery protocols are a joke.) Despite having dynamic IPs they remained stable until the OPNsense 26.1 DHCP update. I had no easy way to identify each light. Why would they name themselves anything useful? That’s how I ended up unscrewing the bulbs one by one to see which MAC address fell off the network. I gave them static IPs on a VLAN for future me to appreciate. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ James G ☛ How_I_use_my_phone⠀⇛ Indeed, many of my blog posts start off as notes that I have written while out and about in the world; having a tool to hand to capture notes quickly is invaluable to me. I could use a notebook, but I prefer using a phone. # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ I_tried_these_5_command_line_tools_on_my Samsung_phone—here's_the_ones_that_are_worth_using⠀⇛ From the day I ditched my old LG phone, I've been a regular user of Samsung phones. This year, I made the switch to Linux Mint as a daily driver on my PC, and that gave me the idea to try running a few of my favorite Linux apps on my Galaxy Z Fold. So I launched a hobby project to experiment with the command line, some of my favorite command line tools (you can call them Linux apps if you like, but that's not really accurate), and make a few weird projects from my Android device instead of my computer. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 971 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/08/Good_Politicians_Don_t_Need_to_Spam_You_Their_Track_Record_Spea.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/08/Good_Politicians_Don_t_Need_to_Spam_You_Their_Track_Record_Spea.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Good Politicians Don't Need to Spam You (Their Track Record Speaks for Itself)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 08, 2026, updated May 08, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Manchester_city_centre_could_be_home_to_200,000⦈_ This year, unlike all prior years, we did not vote in the local election.

The original tried to solve the fundamental friction between mouse-and-keyboard PC gaming and the traditional couch-based approach. It was discontinued back in 2019, and since then we expected it to make a come back sooner or later, especially after the Steam Deck came out and Valve signaled a renewed interest in making hardware. Fast forward to 2026, in the middle of the Rampocalypse shaking the hardware industry, Valve returns with a device bearing the same name, the same philosophy, but a different, and less radical execution. For better or worse, this is mostly as if the Steam Deck was turned into a controller. Since we don’t have the new Steam Controller in hands yet, we can learn from those who do. We have spent some time checking comments hardware youtubers, specifically looking at hands-on impressions from outlets like GameSpot, Linus Tech Tips, Tested, Skillup and Gamers Nexus. From there on we will provide a summary of their observations and opinions. * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ New_Steam_Games_with_Native_GNU/Linux_Builds,_including Rogue_Voltage_and_Wax_Heads_-_2026-05-06_Edition⠀⇛ Between 2026-04-29 and 2026-05-06 there were 63 New Steam games released with Native GNU/Linux builds. For reference, during the same time, there were 570 games released for backdoored Windows on Steam, so the GNU/Linux versions represent about 11.1 % of total released titles. There’s a few gems in this week, with another great execution in the roguelite genre with Rogue Voltage, as well as a great music-themed narrative game with Wax Heads. Here’s a list of our picks below: * ⚓ This_is_how_a_PS5_turns_into_a_Steam_Machine_that_plays_PC_games⠀⇛ It is possible to get Linux up and running on a launch edition PlayStation 5 console to play PC games with full access to Steam, according to Tweak Town. Based on the work of researcher Andy Nguyen, you can turn a PlayStation 5 into a Steam Machine-like device that runs Linux as its operating system. But, as you may expect, it's not an easy mod, and there are several caveats to getting Linux up and running on a PS5. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⣿⠿⠆⠀⠀⠙⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣶⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣷⣶⡇⠀⢀⣀⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⡄⠀⣀⣤⣤⡉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣄⠀⠘⢿⣿⢿⣫⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⢀⣤⣤⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣶⡾⠿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣌⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠸⣿⡿⠟⠉⢁⣴⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⡿⠻⠿⠿⢿⣿⣆⠀⠸⡿⠟⠋⠀⠀⢀⣠⣶⣾⣆⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣅⣀⣠⣼⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣀⢻⣿⣿⣿⠉⠀⠀⣀⣴⣾⣿⣷⡀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⣀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠻⠿⣟⣠⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣇⡀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣾⡿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⡋⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡌⠻⣿⡿⠛⠛⠁⡀⠀⢿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣽⠛⠛⢷⡜⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⡿⠟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣦⡀⠈⠀⠀⠀⢰⣾⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣦⡄⠀⠀⣷⣄⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⢿⣄⣀⣼⢣⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠻⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿ ⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⢸⣿⣷⣌⣹⣻⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⣨⣭⣶⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣦⣀⡀⠘⠻ ⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠈⢿⣿⣿⣭⣍⠉⠁⠉⣷⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⣠⣶⣿⣷⣄⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀ ⠁⢀⣤⣦⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡈⠛⠙⣿⣿⣮⣗⣻⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣌⢻⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⣠⣤⣴⣤⡀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧ ⣴⣿⠛⠛⣄⠀⠉⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠈⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠉⠉⠉⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢹⣿⣦⣤⣾⡀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢉⣩⣭⣭⣭⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠺⣿⠿⠛⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣉⡉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠘⠿⠟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠈⠿⡿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠋⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣴⣤⣈⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⣩⣴⣾⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣶⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠻⠿⠟⠛⢿⣿⡆⠀⠀⣀⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠙⠋⣡⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢉⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀ ⠘⣿⣿⡿⠁⢾⡿⢿⣿⣿⣶⣦⡀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠛⠉⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⠄⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠈⠻⠃⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣿⠿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠛⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡌⠻⠟⠿⣿⡄⠈⢻⣿⣶⡄⠀⠈⠻⠿⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠸⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1151 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/08/KDE_Frameworks_6_26_Improves_Support_for_Kirigami_and_QtQuick_B.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/08/KDE_Frameworks_6_26_Improves_Support_for_Kirigami_and_QtQuick_B.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ KDE Frameworks 6.26 Improves Support for Kirigami and QtQuick-Based Apps⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on May 08, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇KDE_Frameworks_6.26⦈_ The KDE Frameworks 6.26 release is here to improve the appearance of the cross- fade transition when moving between pages in various Kirigami-based apps, and reduce the amount of blurriness seen in icons throughout QtQuick-based apps using the Kirigami.Icon component when using a low fractional scale factor like 150% or less. This release also improves the dialog that asks users if they want to launch or edit an executable text file, so that it will no longer let you set it to always do that thing, which made .desktop files un-launchable for those who selected the option to always open those files in a text editor app. To return to the previous behavior, you can configure this feature in Dolphin’s settings.

Here's what that means and what I'll be building. What is KStars? KStars is a free, open-source desktop planetarium developed by KDE. But it's much more than just a star map. It includes Ekos, a full- featured astrophotography suite that controls telescopes, cameras, filter wheels, and focusers. Astrophotographers around the world use Ekos to automate their imaging sessions, including a critical feature called autoguiding. The Problem: Why Stars Get Streaked When you take a long-exposure photo of the night sky, your telescope mount needs to track the stars precisely.The mount has motors that rotate to compensate for Earth's rotation, but no mount is perfect. Gears have tiny imperfections, wind pushes the telescope tube, and gravity causes flexure as the telescope moves across the sky. * ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ Photoflare_Released_1.7.0_with_Qt6_Port_&_GMIC Integration⠀⇛ Photoflare, the free open-source Qt-based image editor, released new major 1.7.0 version few days ago.

It replaces manual harvesting with a robust, automated pipeline. FedHarv is architected for OA/copyright compliance and high-quality metadata, operating on a “Diamond/Gold/Hybrid Exclusive” policy. It systematically isolates “Green” (self-archived) and “Bronze” (free-to-read) content to ensure the repository only hosts files with clear re-use licenses or explicit open access status. It leverages several APIs to do so, including OpenAlex, CrossRef TDM, FundRef, DOAJ, Unpaywall, and DataCite, and packages metadata and bitstreams into customizable collection folders for an institution’s repository.

Without complex setup, you’re working within a single, coordinated architecture. * ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Raspberry_Pi_Connect:_Device_tags,_required_2FA,_and_a mobile_keyboard⠀⇛ Raspberry Pi Connect lets you access your Raspberry Pi devices remotely from anywhere, straight from a web browser. Since we last wrote about Connect, we’ve shipped three updates that we think will make it noticeably more useful — particularly for the growing number of teams using Connect for Organisations to manage fleets of devices. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Khadas_Mind_Graphics_2_and_Mind_xPlay_display_+_keyboard review_–_Part_1:_Unboxing,_teardown,_and_first_try⠀⇛ Khadas has sent us the Mind Graphics 2 dock, Mind xPlay portable display and keyboard, as well as the Mind 2 mini PC for review. In the first part of the review, I’ll start by listing specifications, an unboxing of all three packages, a teardown of the graphics dock, and a first try of the xPlay and Mind Graphics 2 with the mini PC. While the Mind 2 will be used for testing, I won’t go into details here since it’s quite similar to the Mind 2 Hey Hi (AI) Maker Kit we reviewed last year. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Arbor_ARES-2100_Wildcat_Lake_fanless_box_PC_targets industrial_automation,_machine_vision,_and_Edge_Hey_Hi_(AI) applications⠀⇛ Arbor ARES-2100 fanless box PC is another industrial platform based on the new defective chip maker Intel Core Series 3 “Wildcat Lake” processor family, which specifically targets industrial automation, machine vision, and lightweight Edge Hey Hi (AI) applications. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ FalCAN_Probe_is_an_open-source,_STM32-based_USB_to_CAN/ RS-485/RS-422_adapter⠀⇛ Most USB-to-bus adapters, including tools like CANTact Pro or MeatPi’s Ollie V1 and V2, typically support either CAN or RS- 485/RS-422 as fixed-function serial devices. In contrast, the FalCAN Probe by Anders B. Nielsen is a multi-protocol USB adapter based on the STM32F042 microcontroller.

Now, a new Raspberry Pi-powered device called the CardputerZero is preparing to enter the market, and reservations are already open for those interested in grabbing one early and securing a cheaper price tag. The creators describe the CardputerZero as a “pocket Linux lab,” and that description fits it pretty well. The device is built to offer a portable Linux experience that you can carry around almost anywhere. It is designed for command-line tools, SSH access, Python coding, edge AI tasks, cybersecurity experiments, and even hardware tinkering. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠿⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⡀⢀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⠻⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠯⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠠⣤⣤⣴⣤⣀⣀⡀⠈⠁⠊⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡞⡌⠀⠌⢹⡿⠁⢀⡀⠀⣀⢤⣴⣶⡶⣶⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠃⣫⢏⣛⡛⣻⢇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣙⠀⠁⢰⣿⠇⠀⣸⠑⣻⣿⢿⣟⣶⠁⡀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⠄⠀⠀⠀⠁⠋⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⡘⢻⠋⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠃⠿⡿⠿⠿⢶⠇⠀⠀⠀⢹⣟⠀⢈⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠊⢘⠛⢻⠟⠻⠷⠶⡶⠶⣶⢤⣤⣤⣤⣤⢤⣀⣠⣍⣶⣶⣶⠀⠀⡞⠀⠀⠀⠀⣺⣣⣑⣟⡿⠀⠀⣸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡈⠙⠛⠑⠟⠠⠾⠠⡶⠆⣴⣇⣤⡇⣀⣼⢀⣩⡉⢉⡟⠁⢻⠓⠚⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠾⡿⢿⡟⠉⡇⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡌⠀⡞⠁⡞⠣⡾⠆⣴⠇⣤⡇⣀⣬⢀⣸⡉⢈⡏⠉⣻⠋⠘⡟⠃⢶⣿⠀⠀⠀⢠⠄⡄⣼⠿⡚⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣦⣦⡎⠀⡞⠁⡾⠣⡶⠇⣠⡇⣠⡦⢀⣼⠁⣩⡋⠉⡟⠃⢻⠟⠰⡾⠃⢰⣿⡞⠁⠀⠀⠉⠁⠚⠃⠠⠃⠀⠀⠀⢰⣄⣄⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣌⠁⠀⠃⠐⠃⠀⠆⠀⠬⠀⣹⠉⢈⡟⠓⡿⠃⢴⡿⠶⣶⡧⢤⣼⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠛⠀⠚⠂⠠⠧⠀⠨⢿⠋⠀⠀⢠⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⢼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⣄⣀⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣤⡤⢄⣀⡼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1746 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/08/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/08/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 08, 2026 * ⚓ KDAB ☛ Singleton_Controllers_in_Times_of_Declarative_QML⠀⇛ To make it easier to provide controller objects to QML, André Somers contributed some changes to QQmlEngine and the declarative registration code, so that you can now provide object instances to the QML engine to use as singletons. * § Licensing/PHP⠀➾ o ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ The_PHP_License_Is_Dead;_Long_Live_the_BSD_3- Clause⠀⇛ The PHP Group retires its quirky, and partly non‑GPL‑compatible licenses in favor of the widely used BSD 3‑Clause. o ⚓ Seth Michael Larson ☛ Library_dependency_version_specifiers aren't_for_fixing_vulnerabilities⠀⇛ You probably should not accept this pull request. Version ranges for libraries are meant to be used for compatibility, not for security vulnerabilities. This is a key difference between libraries and applications: libraries should allow the greatest version ranges within the realms of compatibility and applications should only “allow” a single version of each dependency by using a lock file (requirements.txt with --hash, pylock.toml, uv.lock). It's not the responsibility of library maintainers to force their users are using secure versions of dependencies that aren't directly managed by the library (such as by bundling). That is the responsibility of users. o ⚓ Rob Bowley ☛ Your_SDLC_is_a_power_tool,_not_a_compliance_document -_Rob_Bowley⠀⇛ The Software Delivery Lifecycle (SDLC) document sitting in your governance folder is one of the most useful tools in the business. Most orgs never use it that way. They treat it as a compliance box ticking exercise, and teams see it as a governance burden at best. The SDLC is a value stream. Once you appreciate this it becomes a power tool. It defines how an organisation turns concept into cash, and because it defines it, it’s also how you change it. Treat it as a compliance artefact and you’ve wasted one of the most powerful levers you have. o ⚓ L A F Pereira ☛ A_new_hash_table_for_Lwan⠀⇛ For a long time, Lwan used to use a heavily modified version of the hash table from the kmod project. I was lightly involved with that project during its inception, so this seemed like a natural choice. Over the years, that hash table proved inneficient for the use cases in Lwan, so I began patching it to try and improve its performance; I succeeded in some cases, but the added complexity and years of technical debt eventually caught up with me, so things started failing. I've wanted to try a different way of implementing a hash table, possibly using some kind of linear probing method, for a good while, so that's what I did. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Speed-Optimized_Python_3.14t_on_Debian_Forky:_A_Clang-19_Build Guide_(Assisted_by_Surveillance_Giant_Google_AI)⠀⇛ o ⚓ Henry Schreiner ☛ Python_3.15_-⠀⇛ Python 3.15 beta 1 is out!

It’s clean, it’s provocative, and it contains a kernel of truth. But it also misses something fundamental about why developer portals exist in the first place—and why the agentic era makes them more important, not less. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Confidential_virtual_machine_storage_attack_scenarios [Ed: Fake security or back doors sold as "confidentiality"]⠀⇛ Confidential virtual machines (CVMs) are becoming increasingly ubiquitous. It is possible to provision an AMD SEV-SNP or an defective chip maker Intel TDX CVM from major cloud providers in a matter of minutes. QEMU/KVM support for the technologies has also significantly matured, making it possible to deploy an on-premise CVM setup. The main focus of these technologies is to provide data confidentiality guarantees for the VM at runtime, but it is equally important to consider the confidentiality of data at rest (e.g., in the situation where the VM gets restarted) migrates to another host or simply when the VM is required to be stateful. * ⚓ Techstrong Group Inc ☛ Trilio_Extends_Disaster_Recovery_Reach_to_Red Bait_OpenShift_Virtualization [Ed: Site funded by Red Hat, the company it writes about]⠀⇛ Trilio is making available a technology preview of an instance of its disaster recovery (DR) platform that supports Red Bait OpenShift Virtualization, which enables IT teams to encapsulate virtual machines in a container. > * ⚓ YouTube ☛ Ashesh_Badani,_Red_Hat_|_Red_Hat_2026_Summit_Preview [Ed: Another example of IBM Red Hat buying fake coverage about itself]⠀⇛ * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_Delivers_Post-Quantum_Readiness_and_AI- Powered_Automation_with_Latest_Versions_of_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux [Ed: Ludicrous buzzword-stuffing]⠀⇛ * ⚓ Red_Hat_Delivers_Post-Quantum_Readiness_and_AI-Powered_Automation_with Latest_Versions_of_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux [Ed: More buzzwords than substance]⠀⇛ Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.2 and 9.8 provide a unified foundation for the hybrid cloud designed to address emerging security challenges, featuring advanced AI assistance, quantum- resistant cryptography and streamlined upgrade paths. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1966 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/08/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/08/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 08, 2026 * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Thursday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (dovecot, fence- agents, freeipmi, git-lfs, image-builder, kernel, libsoup, osbuild-composer, and python-tornado), Debian (apache2, libdatetime-timezone-perl, lrzip, tzdata, and wireshark), Fedora (dovecot, forgejo-runner, gh, gnutls, krb5, nano, pdns, pyOpenSSL, squid, vim, and xorg-x11-server-Xwayland), Mageia (graphicsmagick, kernel-linus, krb5-appl, libexif, libtiff, nano, nginx, ntfs-3g, opam, perl-Net-CIDR-Lite, perl-Starlet, perl-Starman, tcpflow, and virtualbox), Oracle (dovecot, fence- agents, freeipmi, image-builder, kernel, libcap, LibRaw, libsoup, openssh, osbuild-composer, python, python-tornado, python3, systemd, thunderbird, and tigervnc), SUSE (containerd, curl, erlang, flatpak, java-11-openjdk, java-21-openjdk, java- 25-openjdk, liblxc-devel, libpng12, libthrift-0_23_0, openCryptoki, openexr, openssl-3, python3, python311-social- auth-core, rclone, skim, and thunderbird), and Ubuntu (apache2, coin3, editorconfig-core, insighttoolkit, linux, linux-aws, linux-aws-6.17, linux-gcp, linux-gcp-6.17, linux-hwe-6.17, linux-oracle, linux-realtime, linux-realtime-6.17, linux-azure, linux-azure-6.17, linux-oem-6.17, linux-azure-5.15, linux-gcp- 6.8, nghttp2, python-dynaconf, slurm-wlm, swish-e, and webkit2gtk). * ⚓ OpenSSF (Linux Foundation) ☛ The_Road_to_Gold:_How_CPS_Set_a_New Standard_for_Security_and_Quality_in_Open_Source⠀⇛ In the world of open source, trust is our most valuable currency.

Per the report (which we spotted through Bleeping Computer's coverage,) QLNX is a Linux implant "designed for stealth and long-term persistence" that hides in memory and uses seven distinct persistence mechanisms. When combined, its persistence mechanisms make it difficult to actually "kill" QLNX, since any one of the seven can restart the process the instant it stops running. * ⚓ Quasar_Linux_(QLNX):_A_Supply_Chain_Foothold_with_Full_RAT_Capabilities |_SOC_Prime⠀⇛ Quasar Linux (QLNX) is an advanced Linux remote access trojan that combines a user-space and eBPF rootkit with a PAM backdoor and broad credential-harvesting capabilities. The malware supports fileless execution, process name masquerading, and several persistence techniques that help it remain hidden on infected systems. Its focus on developer workstations makes it especially dangerous for supply-chain abuse, as it can steal tokens, SSH keys, and cloud credentials. The malware also uses encrypted communications and supports a peer-to-peer mesh architecture to improve resilience and maintain access. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2111 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/08/Send_your_talks_for_Akademy_and_update_on_KDE_s_Union_style_eng.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/08/Send_your_talks_for_Akademy_and_update_on_KDE_s_Union_style_eng.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Send your talks for Akademy and update on KDE's Union style engine⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 08, 2026 * ⚓ Send_your_talks_for_Akademy_NOW!⠀⇛ Akademy_2026 (the annual world summit for KDE) is happening in Graz.

In Iraq, which has unpleasant history with the US, there are several GNU/Linux distros (domestic ones) and we've repeatedly taken note of a shift to Free software there. Maybe people won't buy Vista 11- "compatible" PCs (very expensive at the moment as components' prices soar) and instead replace Vista 10 or whatever with a modern operating system that respects

Canonical’s Oliver Calder has shared an update on recent improvements to the security feature, which sets out to “empower users” by letting them decide what software can access on the rest of the system at runtime rather than retrospectively. Android or iOS show similar prompts, with screen modals asking if you want to “allow Acme App to access the camera” and similar. * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ FOSS_Weekly_#26.19:_Ubuntu_Under_Attack,_Linux_Exploitation Ongoing,_Upgrading_to_26.04,_GNU/Linux_on_PS5_and_More⠀⇛ Not a good week for Ubuntu fans. [...] Ubuntu suffered a cyber attack for almost a week. Don't panick. It was a DDoS attack and makes a website unavailable by flooding the server with traffic. The ubuntu.com website, Snap store, Launchpad, and several other Canonical-owned services went offline or became unreliable. If you had trouble running snap install commands or pulling from a PPA last week, you now know why. * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ After_Days_of_DDoS,_Now_Ubuntu's_Ex-Twitter_Account_Seems to_be_Compromised⠀⇛ A fake Hey Hi (AI) agent, a near-identical Ubuntu URL, and a crypto wallet prompt, here's how hackers used Ubuntu's own branding against its users. [...] This is why the next line mentions buzzwords like Blockchain and decentralized. Blockchain also relates to crypto so this was more like a build up for crypto that would come later. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Ubuntu_just_showed_Microsoft_how_to_add_AI_without_the_mess⠀⇛ As AI began to take off, we saw the major operating system developers begin adding their own solutions to their products. On Microsoft's side, we got Copilot, and for Team Apple, they got Apple Intelligence. People who weren't a fan of AI migrated to Linux to escape it, only for the Ubuntu team to announce that its OS will also adopt LLMs. But here's the kicker. The way Ubuntu is implementing its AI tools sets an example for how other operating systems should do it. In fact, you could be the biggest stickler for AI integrations and continue using Ubuntu the way you want to, purely because that's how the Ubuntu team has adopted AI tools. And honestly, I believe it's the only OS that does AI right. ⠀⠀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠧⠿⠶⠶⠶⠿⠶⠰⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣙⠇⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀ ⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠈⠉⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⡀⣀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⢀⢀⡀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠘⠉⠋⠛⠓⠛⠃⠘⠓⠃⠛⠙⠛⠘⠛⠛⠓⠛⠛⠋⠘⠛⠛⠈⠛⠛⠓⠛⠃⠉⠉⠀⠓⠛⠛⠛⠋⠛⠐⠃⠛⠀⠙⠛⠙⠛⠛⠙⠚⠐⠛⠛⠘⠻⠯⠛⠋⠙⠘⠛⠓⠛⠛⠀⠛⠋⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠠⢀⡠⠀⣠⠠⠄⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢠⠤⣀⣀⣀⣀⣄⣀⣀⣀⡄⣄⣀⢠⣀⣠⣀⣄⣀⣀⢀⣄⡄⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡄⣀⣀⣀⢀⣀⣠⣤⢀⢠⢠⣀⣀⢀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡄⢀⣀⣀⣠⢀⡀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣄⣠⣄⣀⣀⢀⣀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠈⠈⠉⠉⠉⠛⠊⠉⠁⠉⠁⠉⠈⠈⠉⠈⠉⠙⠋⠁⠈⠉⠁⠉⠈⠁⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠉⠉⠈⠈⠉⠈⠉⠈⠈⠈⠉⠁⠈⠙⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠈⠉⠈⠉⠀⠉⠁⠉⠉⠉⠁⠉⠉⠈⠋⠈⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠰⡲⡷⡢⣖⠷⢔⡺⠢⣶⠷⠢⢰⢴⢶⡺⢲⡶⢔⣾⢖⢴⣖⣄⡀⠧⢶⡴⠶⠢⣶⣶⢶⠰⢶⡦⣲⡶⣶⢶⢶⠶⠶⡖⡆⢲⡗⢴⡆⠔⢶⣖⠖⡆⢰⢶⢶⢴⡆⠠⢶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣀⢀⢀⠀⡀⡀⡀⡀⡀⣀⣀⢀⢀⡀⠀⡀⡀⡀⣀⡀⣀⢁⢀⠀⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠈⠚⠛⠑⠛⠋⠘⠓⠛⠛⠛⠚⠛⠑⠃⠛⠘⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠛⠃⠛⠚⠛⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠇⠿⠿⠃⠸⠮⠂⠟⠿⠜⠛⠑⠿⠾⠿⠀⠿⠕⠿⠿⢾⠮⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢛⣉⣉⡛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⣛⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣠⣿⣿⣿⣮⣶⣝⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡌⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣅⣿⣿⠁⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣌⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠩⠐⢂⡀⣉⠙⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⣼⠫⠄⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠶⠄⢀⣄⣬⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣯⣯⣴⣀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣠⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⣩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⠛⠛⠋⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⣛⣉⣤⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⣛⣉⣉⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣍⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡷⠿⠟⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠷⠶⠿⠿⠟⠿⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣄⣀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠖⠟⠻⠿⠿⢾⣶⣶⣶⣦⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠙⠻⢿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢻⣿⢋⣤⠟⠀⠈⢀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣤⣄⡀⠀⠉⠙⠛⠿⢿⣿⣷⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠈⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⡉⢹⡄⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⢉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠉⠹⠿⣿⣿⣶⡀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠎⠈⠲⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣔⣧⠀⠘⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠙⢿⣿⣿⣦⡄⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣆⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⡀⠁⠺⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠿⣷⣦⣤⣈⣻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣤⣤⣬⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⢸⣿⡟⢛⡛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⡛⡛⢁⢀⡈⠉⠙⡛⠛⠳⣶⣤⣬⣿⡟⠋⠙⠶⠶⠯⣭⣭⣽⣿⣿⠿⠿⢯⣍⣛⡛⠛⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡿⢀⣠⣦⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⠸⣿⣇⣘⣛⣛⣛⣉⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣑⣙⣃⣈⣚⣋⣛⣙⣛⣃⣰⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⣰⣶⣤⣭⣤⣄⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀ ⠀⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2975 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/08/Web_Browsers_Web_Servers_Feed_Readers_Tor_Browser_15_0_13_Artic.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/08/Web_Browsers_Web_Servers_Feed_Readers_Tor_Browser_15_0_13_Artic.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Web Browsers/Web Servers/Feed Readers: Tor Browser 15.0.13, Article previews in RSS, Chrome, and Mozilla⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 08, 2026 * ⚓ Tor ☛ New_Release:_Tor_Browser_15.0.13_|_The_Tor_Project⠀⇛ Tor Browser 15.0.13 is now available from the Tor Browser download page and also from our distribution directory. * ⚓ Chris ☛ Article_previews_in_RSS⠀⇛ Yesterday I decided to simplify the problem: no internal links, no images, no code evaluation, etc. Just the first four basic elements of the article, like paragraphs, tables, and lists.

In this post, we’ll go into more detail about how we approached this work, what we found, and advice for other projects on making good use of emerging capabilities to harden themselves against attack. # ⚓ Firefox_Tooling_Announcements:_Firefox_Profiler_Deployment_ (May_7,_2026)⠀⇛ The latest version of the Firefox_Profiler is now live! Check out the full changelog below to see what’s changed: [...] # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Mozilla_boasts_Mythos_boosted_Firefox_bug cull⠀⇛ Yet it remains unclear if Anthropic's uber model was effective, or if better model middleware is what makes the difference Mozilla fixed 423 Firefox security bugs in April, a repair rate more than five times higher than the 76 fixes issued in March and almost 20 times higher than its 21.5 monthly average last year. The browser maker previously said Anthropic's ballyhooed Mythos Preview model found 271 of these in Firefox 150. Now, a trio of technical types has come forward to provide a bit more detail about what Mythos (and its less storied sibling Opus 4.6) actually found. But they also highlight something that may matter more than the model: the agentic harness – the middleware mediating between AI and the end user. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3085 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/08/Windows_TCO_Proprietary_TCO_and_Linux.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/08/Windows_TCO_Proprietary_TCO_and_Linux.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Windows TCO, Proprietary TCO, and Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 08, 2026 * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ State-backed_hackers_hammer_Palo_Alto_firewall_zero- day_before_patch_lands [Ed: Proprietary = no patch, it's a monopoly]⠀⇛ The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-0300 and carrying a CVSS severity rating of 9.3, affects the Captive Portal feature in PAN-OS on PA-Series and VM-Series firewalls. Palo Alto said the issue stems from a memory corruption bug in the User-ID Authentication Portal, a feature used to handle logins for users the firewall cannot automatically identify. * § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾ o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Your_Linux_distribution_may_no_longer auto-generate_new_SSH_host_keys⠀⇛ (Especially for servers, there's an argument that a missing SSH host key should be a fatal error for sshd, not something you should automatically fix up, since something is obviously badly wrong. If you generate new SSH host keys anyway so maybe people can SSH in to check the server, what you're effectively doing is training people to accept mismatched host keys in times of problems.) Update: In a comment, Andreas pointed out 'ssh-keygen - A', which does exactly this system host key regeneration. * § Windows TCO⠀➾ o ⚓ The Record ☛ Iranian_government_hackers_using_Chaos_ransomware_as cover,_researchers_say⠀⇛ Incident responders from cybersecurity firm Rapid7 published a report about a recent intrusion that initially appeared to be a Chaos ransomware attack but was later discovered to be an attack attributed to MuddyWater, an Iranian APT group tied to the country’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS). o ⚓ Yle ☛ Finnish_state_data_'espionage'_breach_reached_president's office_and_defence_forces,_documents_show⠀⇛ A significant data breach targeting mobile device accounts handled by Finland's Government ICT Centre, known as Valtori, affected a number of the country's national security and law enforcement agencies, Yle has learned.
