FOSS Force — Yikes! First there was Copy Fail, now there’s Dirty Frag. That’s two — count ’em — two Linux vulnerabilities that could give bad guys root access to your computer at once. Well, there’s actually three, but to explain that would get too complicated for what I’m here for. It’s beginning to make me feel a little bit like the old days when I was chained to Windows. Anyway, I have good news for people who use Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or other Debian-based distros, but first I need to get from here to there. Like about every other Linux-focused tech writer on the planet, I’ve already told you about the first exploit, Copy Fail, which we’ve known about for about a week now. That one’s already been fixed at the kernel level, but those fixed kernels are taking a long time winding their way into Linux distros’ update systems. Now there’s Dirty Frag, which essentially has the same result from a user perspective — it hands over root to an unprivileged bad guy — although it goes about it differently.

The conversation will then move on to hacking electronic shelf labels, stylish e-ink status displays, cutting metal at home with high current and a bit of water, a solarpunk message board hiding in a IKEA-style lantern, and pushing NFC out of its comfort zone. From there you’ll hear about a matching transistors, taking pictures of the International Space Station, and Linux on the PS5. They’ll wrap up this week’s episode by going over the surprisingly simple concept behind flow batteries, and learn who’s still using leaded gasoline and why. * ⚓ Sacha Chua ☛ Emacs_Chat_22:_Shae_Erisson⠀⇛ I chatted with Shae Erisson about Emacs, keyboards, Org Mode, and life. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 208 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/09/Content_Management_Systems_CMS_Static_Site_Generators_SSG_WordP.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/09/Content_Management_Systems_CMS_Static_Site_Generators_SSG_WordP.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG): WordPress News and Three Years in on the 11ty Bundle⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 09, 2026 * ⚓ WordPress ☛ WordPress_7.0_Release_Candidate_3⠀⇛ The third Release Candidate (“RC3”) for WordPress 7.0 is ready for download and testing! This version of the WordPress software is under development. Please do not install, run, or test this version of WordPress on production or mission- critical websites. Instead, it’s recommended that you evaluate RC3 on a test server and site. * ⚓ Joost de Valk ☛ If_WordPress_gets_CPTs_in_Core,_we_also_need_custom fields⠀⇛ In her piece on Gutenberg 23.1, Rae Morey quoted my reaction to Jamie Marsland’s celebratory tweet about WordPress shipping a native UI for registering custom post types: So… how long before we get this for custom fields too? That was a tweet.

See, the external factor is visitors and some are malicious, rogue bots. They can cause_trouble, but an SSG is more tolerant and can handle much greater loads than the average Drupal- or WordPress-based site. SSGs or static site generators have gained traction due to lots of nasty bots out there, not limited to slop bots. An SSG is easier to maintain and to fix (if things go wrong). It turns out that Cyber Show is now going static as well, sort of adopting an SSG (hand-crafted perhaps). Published before I even saw the below E-mail (!!) was_this_article_about_"less is_more", stating: "A day or two ago they did an overhaul (it seems like Cybershow does the same, but not the same kind of overhaul)." Cyber Show has since then given me more details about what's being done and what's to come: Hi Roy, JFYI Cyber Show site is getting some long overdue maintenance - moving to be all static generated from Emacs Org-Mode - removing any last traces of "AI" pictures from a couple of years ago - removing any scripts, CGI, PHP, JS or anything active - downsizing any high-res images, audio or video for better accessibility - a new structure that combines articles and podcast episodes - new structure that gives each item a page for episode notes etc - generate Gemini-protocol site mirror automatically You may experience some broken links. 301 redirects are being added but some may get missed so please help report any broken links. thanks, all good wishes, Cyber Show going static means something because Cyber Show is run by very technical people and Cybersecurity_Gurus. Maybe the future of the Web is static and lightweight. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Dr._Andy_Farnell =============================================================================== ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠋⠁⠻⣿⣿⡿⠟⢋⣡⣄⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣬⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⢉⣴⣷⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠛⢉⣤⣤⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠛⠉⠁⠀⣜⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣓⠶⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠐⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡆⠀⠀⠀⠲⢶⣄⣀⣤⣤⡤⠖⠁⠀⠀⣤⣾⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⣙ ⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠁⠠⠄⠀⠀⠈⠻⠿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⡀⠀⠀⣀⡀⢾⡆⠀⠀⠀⠈⢉⣉⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢻⣿⠏⠀⠈⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣤⡀⢰⡂⢀⣤⣤⡄⣿⠘⣿⠂⣻⠽⣿⢸⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠭⢰⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠈⠁⠀⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⢈⣿⢸⣇⢿⣅⣸⡇⠹⠇⠻⠖⠛⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠛⠁⠀⠉⠐⠿⠞⠋⠀⡀⢀⣤⣤⠀⣶⠞⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠃⠸⠿⠿⠿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣀⣤⣼⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠘⣧⠀⣾⢃⣴⣲⣦⢰⡟⠹⣧⢹⣗⣻⡇⢿⠄⠸⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⢀⣰⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣷⡟⠘⢿⣭⠟⢘⣻⣚⡿⠈⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠆⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣈⠡⠤⠄⣐⣒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣶⣆⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠂⠒⠊⠉⠈⠀⠀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣴⣶⣤⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢩⣾⠟⠀⠀⠀ ⣤⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣄⡀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣴⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⣇⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠾⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⢿⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠋⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡟⢹⡇⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣶⣶⣆⣤ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠈⠻⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⡇⢸⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⠀⠀⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⣠⢤⠰⠰⠖⠊⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠉⢁⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣴⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⢀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⡴⠶⠶⠿⠛⢛⣛⣋⣉⣭⣥⣤⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⢰⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣶⣶⣶⣛⣛⣩⣭⣭⣥⣴⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣍⣉⣛⡟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⢀⣾⣯⠌⢉⠉⠑⠰⣿⣦⡤⣦⡞⢟⢛⣿⠿⢿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⣸⣿⣿⡟⢙⣥⠓⠁⠀⠀⠀⡤⠰⣴⣤⣄⣍⡻⠛⢀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⡏⢡⡀⠀⣌⡨⡦⠂⢾⠍⢀⡽⣽⡹⡉⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⡿⠫⠀⢀⢀⡀⠤⡜⢨⠵⢾⡄⣴⡭⠩⢒⠠⢠⠀⠀⠀⢿⢻ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣾⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⣀⢦⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⢉ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 370 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/09/Fighting_for_Software_Freedom_Even_in_the_Courtrooms.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/09/Fighting_for_Software_Freedom_Even_in_the_Courtrooms.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Fighting for Software Freedom (Even in the Courtrooms)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 09, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇City_keep_up_pressure_in_title_race_after_Brentford_win⦈_ Last month: They_Fight_Till_the_End Fighting for freedom is considered a form of activism, even if the means are journalism and advocacy.

For those wishing to keep abreast of a very long series that documents key events (there will be more series in parallel and after that), here's the story so far: 2026- Microsofters'_SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_1_Out_of_200:_Claim_No._KB-2024-001270_in 03-03 a_Nutshell 2026- Microsofters'_SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_2_Out_of_200:_Detailed_Timeline_From_2012_ 03-04 (Attack_on_Reporters_That_Question_Restricted_Boot)_to_2024_(Lawsuit_Against Reporter_and_His_Wife_in_Another_Continent) 2026- Microsofters'_SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_3_Out_of_200:_A_More_In-Depth_Breakdown 03-05 2026- Microsofters'_SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_4_Out_of_200:_Rianne’s_Version_of_Events 03-06 and_Narrative 2026- Microsofters'_SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_5_Out_of_200:_Clearly_Not_a_Security 03-07 Professional/Expert,_Only_Ever_Pretending_to_be_One 2026- Microsofters'_SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_6_Out_of_200:_Intentionally_Misnaming 03-08 Women,_People_Who_Offered_to_Testify_That_They_Too_Had_Been_Subjected_to_Similar Abuse 2026- Microsofters'_SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_7_Out_of_200:_Like_With_the_Serial 03-09 Strangler_From_Microsoft,_Misuse_of_UK-GDPR_to_Try_to_Hide_Embarrassing_Facts 2026- Microsofters'_SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_8_Out_of_200:_Gross_Misuse_of_UKGDPR_to 03-10 Protect_the_Agenda_of_American_Back_Doors_(Mass_Surveillance) 2026- Microsofters'_SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_9_Out_of_200:_5RB_Barrister_Does_Not_Even 03-11 Know_the_Name_of_His_Own_Client_(That_He_Was_Paid_Well_Over_$200,000_to_'Speak' or_'Cover'_for) 2026- Microsofters'_SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_10_Out_of_200:_Showing_Public_Tweets_is 03-12 Not_a_Privacy_Violation,_But_This_Isn't_About_Justice,_It's_About_Censorship 2026- Microsofters'_SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_11_Out_of_200:_Cannot_Censor_His_Spouse, 03-13 Accusations_Are_Repeated_Today 2026- Microsofters'_SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_12_Out_of_200:_Months_Ahead_of_Serial 03-14 Strangler_From_Microsoft_Who_Helped_Double_the_Lawsuits_(Funded_by_Third Parties)_as_'Revenge'_for_Exposing_Crimes 2026- Microsofters'_SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_13_Out_of_200:_Abuse_of_Process_to_Make 03-15 False_Accusations_of_UKGDPR_Violations 2026- Microsofters'_SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_14_Out_of_200:_The_Abusive_Cases_of_the 03-16 Serial_Strangler_From_Microsoft_and_His_Litigation_Buddy_Garrett_Did_Cause "Serious_Harm" 2026- Microsofters'_SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_14_Out_of_200:_Men_Who_Strangle_Women_(and 03-17 Worse)_Trying_to_Force_Us_to_Write_Public_Apologies_to_These_Men 2026- SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_15_Out_of_200:_Background_and_Particulars_of_Truth 03-18 Regarding_Techrights_and_Tux_Machines 2026- SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_16_Out_of_200:_Detailing_the_Actors_and_Explaining 03-19 Techrights'_Own_Internet_Relay_Chat_(IRC)_Network 2026- SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_17_Out_of_200:_A_Long_Track_Record_of_Online_Abuse,_Then 03-20 Choosing_a_Low-Cost_Law_Firm_to_Muzzle_People_Who_Have_Illuminated_This_Abuse for_Over_a_Decade 2026- SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_18_Out_of_200:_Third_Parties_Funding_Attacks_on_the 03-21 Messengers,_Lawsuits_Against_GAFAM-Critical_Voices_That_Uphold_Real_National Security 2026- SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_19_Out_of_200:_They_Were_Ill-prepared_for_Tough 03-22 Questions_in_Cross-Examination 2026- SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_20_Out_of_200:_All_Roads_Lead_to_Rome_and_to_GAFAM 03-23 Funding 2026- SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_21_Out_of_200:_It's_About_Behaviour_Online,_Not_How_Much 03-24 Money_From_Shadowy_Third_Parties_Gets_Spent_on_Lawyers_and_Two_Barristers 2026- SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_22_Out_of_200:_When_You_Complain_People_Impersonate_You 03-24 in_IRC_(But_You_Yourself_Impersonate_People_in_IRC_and_Lock_Them_Out_of_Their IRC_Handles) 2026- SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_23_Out_of_200:_We_Were_Right_All_Along_(for_2_Years) 03-25 About_Third_Party_Funding_and_Willingness_to_'Break_the_Bank'_in_Pursuit_of "Revenge" 2026- SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_24_Out_of_200:_The_Failed_Effort_by_Brett_Wilson_LLP_to 03-26 Strike_Out_My_Lawsuit_and_My_Wife's_Lawsuit_Against_Garrett_(the_Master_Allowed Our_Lawsuits_to_Proceed) 2026- SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_25_Out_of_200:_That_Time_Matthew_J._Garrett_Got 03-27 Temporarily_Banned/Suspended_From_Twitter 2026- SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_26_Out_of_200:_Asking_for_Documents_and_Information_You 03-28 Already_Have,_Even_Letters_and_E-mails_That_You_Yourself_Sent!

It’s a reimplementation of passage designed for teams, using age keys for encryption and decryption while storing passwords locally. The project offers a simple terminal interface, but the developer notes that it isn’t intended for production use because it relies on the age crate, which is currently in beta. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ ThreatDeck_-_monitor_threat_intelligence_feeds_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ ThreatDeck is a terminal application for monitoring threat intelligence feeds and generating alerts from matched content. It’s aimed at security operations teams, security researchers, and threat intelligence analysts who want a self-hosted text interface for aggregating API, RSS, website, and onion-source intelligence. The program stores its data locally, provides dashboard views, supports keyword-driven matching, and includes tools for managing feeds, alerts, articles, tags, logs, and settings from the terminal. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Steelsafe_-_TUI_password_manager_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ SteelSafe is a small personal password manager for the terminal. Written entirely in safe Rust, it uses a text user interface and stores secrets in a local SQLite database, making it suited to people who want an offline, portable credential store that can be copied between machines without relying on a service or sync backend. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Lsyncd_-_Live_Syncing_Daemon_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Lsyncd is a live file synchronization daemon that watches local directory trees for filesystem changes and then synchronizes those changes to a remote target. It uses the kernel event notification interface, such as inotify on Linux and fsevents on macOS, to detect changes efficiently, then batches events for a short period before launching synchronization jobs. By default it uses rsync, making it a practical solution for keeping local directories mirrored to remote systems without requiring special filesystems or block-level replication. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ novelibre_-_novel_organizer_for_writers_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ novelibre is a novel organizer for writers who use LibreOffice or OpenOffice. It helps manage large writing projects by keeping manuscript structure and project metadata together, allowing authors to plan, draft, and revise without losing track of story information. The application works alongside Writer, generating structured ODT manuscripts for editing and then reimporting changes back into the project. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ seniorpw_-_password_manager_using_age_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ seniorpw is a command-line password manager that uses age as its encryption backend and is inspired by pass. It stores secrets as age-encrypted text files in a local directory, letting you initialize new stores, clone existing ones, and manage entries from the terminal. The project also supports git-backed password stores, which makes it a good fit for users who want a simple and auditable workflow for handling encrypted credentials. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ cruxpass_-_minimal_CLI_password_manager_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ cruxpass is a minimal command-line password manager written in C for Linux systems. It’s designed to stay simple and dependency-light while using SQLCipher for encrypted database storage and libsodium for cryptographic operations. The project derives keys with Argon2id, protects credentials with AES-256 encryption, and keeps decrypted database contents in memory instead of writing them back to disk unencrypted. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ WareWoolf_-_minimalist_novel-writing_system_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ WareWoolf is a minimalist novel-writing system and rich text editor built specifically for fiction writing. It uses a simple three-panel layout for chapters, editing, and notes, and it’s designed to work well with keyboard-driven workflows instead of mouse-heavy toolbars and menus. The software also targets standalone writing devices and writerDeck-style setups, with support for manuscript organization, revision, and exporting work into multiple formats while keeping chapter files in accessible text-based form. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Minisforum_MS-02_Ultra_285HX_running_Linux_-_Introduction_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ This is a new series looking at the Minisforum MS-02 Ultra 285HX Mini Workstation running Linux. In this series, I’ll put this machine through its paces from a Linux perspective, comparing it with other systems, including desktops, to show how it really stacks up. The Minisforum MS-02 Ultra 285HX targets users who want a compact but highly expandable workstation or mini server. It’s aimed at professional creators, AI developers, engineers, homelab users, small-business IT teams, and power users who need far more expansion than a typical mini PC offers. Its appeal comes from features such as the Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX, ECC memory support, Intel vPro, four M.2 NVMe slots, PCIe expansion for a GPU or add-in cards, USB4 v2, 10GbE and 2.5GbE networking, and dual 25GbE on the 285HX model I’m reviewing. My machine came with 32GB of non-ECC RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD. At the time of writing, this 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD configuration is listed by Minisforum UK at £1,455.00. * ⚓ ByteSync_-_file_synchronization,_backup,_and_deduplication_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ ByteSync is a cross-platform application for synchronizing datasets, consolidating storage, and cleaning up duplicate files across local and remote systems. It’s aimed at users who need controlled, on-demand operations rather than always-on replication, with a workflow that lets you inspect differences, missing files, and duplicate content before applying changes. The software is designed to work across LAN and WAN environments without requiring VPNs, port forwarding, or manual firewall setup. This is free and open source software. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡟⢻⣿⡿⠻⣿⣿⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠷⠾⠿⠷⠶⠿⠿⠶⠿⠿⠿⠿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡟⢻⣿⡿⠻⣿⣿⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠷⠾⠿⠷⠶⠿⠿⠶⠾⠿⠿⠿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢻⣿⣿⡟⠉⠉⢻⣿⣿⡟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣦⣴⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠃⠀⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠘⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 988 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/09/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/09/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free, Libre, and Open Source Software Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 09, 2026 * ⚓ Rachel Kaufman ☛ 30_Days_of_coreutils:_cat⠀⇛ cat has some very useful flags, most of which are new to me. * ⚓ Protesilaos Stavrou ☛ Emacs_coaching_with_Amin_Bandali⠀⇛ I met with Amin Bandali to talk about Emacs, specifically Amin’s upcoming ffs package. Amin informed me about changes to ffs in light of a discussion we had during a previous session. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Notes_on_using_GNU_Emacs'_Tramp_system_in_an unusual_shell_environment⠀⇛ Tramp is a famous and often praised GNU Emacs system for editing remote files; lots of people will call it one of Emacs' compelling features. I've always had a decidedly different view of Tramp because Tramp has mostly not worked for me in opaque ways. I recently took another run at getting Tramp working (so I could have an informed opinion on why I'm not a fan), and in the process I've learned a bunch of things that I don't want to forget. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Splitting_up_my_.emacs,_or_"use-package_doesn't solve_all_problems"⠀⇛ I got into my .emacs situation despite using use-package, which is the usual way people recommend to tame your Emacs configuration. Today I dealt with the whole thing by splitting my .emacs up into separate files, which is much better in general even if it's a bit more annoying in some ways. * § Web Browsers/Web Servers/Feed Readers⠀➾ o ⚓ Brad Taunt ☛ Serving_a_Website_on_a_Raspberry_Pi_Zero_Running Entirely_in_RAM⠀⇛ This is even more impressive considering the Pi Zero only has 512MB of total memory, ~40MB of which is tied up running Alpine Linux. But since RAM is so abundant and cheap these days that we can… Oh, right. Anyway, what a time to be alive! If you’re interested in running your own website off a Pi Zero, follow along! * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ Vikash Patel ☛ How_to_Handle_PostgreSQL_Database_Migrations_in_Go with_Goose⠀⇛ Application code is stateless. You can tear down a container and spin up a new one in milliseconds without losing data. Databases are stateful. When you deploy new application logic that requires a new column, an index, or a table, you must transition the physical storage schema from state A to state B without destroying the underlying data or locking the system. * § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ o ⚓ Document Foundation ☛ Twenty_Years_On,_ODF_Is_Still_the_Only_Open Standard_for_Office_Documents,_and_the_Only_One_Governments_Can Trust⠀⇛ Twenty years ago this week, on 3 May 2006, the Open Document Format cleared its Draft International Standard ballot at ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34 with unanimous approval. On 30 November 2006 it was published as ISO/IEC 26300. * § FSF / Software Freedom / Digital Sovereignty⠀➾ o ⚓ [Old] Internet Archive ☛ Concerning_[Crackers]_Who_Break_into Computer_Systems⠀⇛ Although Levy's book ``Hackers'' [Levy84] is not about today's security-breaking hackers, it articulates and interprets a ``hacker ethic'' that is shared by many of these hackers. The ethic includes two key principles that were formulated in the early days of the AI Lab at MIT: ``Access to computers -- and anything which might teach you something about the way the world works -- should be unlimited and total,'' and ``All information should be free.'' In the context in which these principles were formulated, the computers of interest were research machines and the information was software and systems information. Since Stallman is a leading advocate of open systems and freedom of information, especially software, I asked him what he means by this. He said: ``I believe that all generally useful information should be free. By `free' I am not referring to price, but rather to the freedom to copy the information and to adapt it to one's own uses.'' By ``generally useful'' he does not include confidential information about individuals or credit card information, for example. He further writes: ``When information is generally useful, redistributing it makes humanity wealthier no matter who is distributing and no matter who is receiving.'' Stallman has argued strongly against user interface copyright, claiming that it does not serve the users or promote the evolutionary process [Stallman90]. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Broadcasting_GPS_On_The_Local_Network_To_Help_Geoclue Find_You⠀⇛ All that Geoclue looks for on the LAN is an mDNS service identifying as _nmea-0183._tcp that responds with the GPS coordinates as network packets containing an ASCII payload encoded using the NMEA 0183 standard. With this knowledge [Evert] was then able to quickly put together a Python-based server that simply blasts the static GPS coordinates of the LAN in question. o ⚓ Tyler Hillery ☛ Why_Don’t_Lowercase_Letters_Come_Right_After Uppercase_Letters_in_ASCII?_–_Tyler_Hillery⠀⇛ This works because 31 effectively clears the first three bits and keeps only the lower five bits. In ASCII, the lower five bits of letters line up with their alphabet position: A/a ends in 00001, B/b ends in 00010, and so on up to Z/z, which ends in 11010. Another way to think about it is that, for ASCII character codes, c & 31 is equivalent to c % 32, because 32 is a power of two. Masking with 31, which is binary 00011111, keeps only the part of the number “left over” after groups of 32 are removed. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1162 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/09/Games_How_do_you_Pew_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/09/Games_How_do_you_Pew_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: "How do you Pew?" and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 09, 2026 * ⚓ Bobby Hiltz ☛ How_do_you_Pew?⠀⇛ Credit Feed is the name I chose for my posts on video games. It is a term used by players of arcade games, particularly shmups, in reference to the act of using continues to finish a game. Most players have encountered shmups (shoot’em ups), and many are aware that arcade games are supposed to be challenging. I love a challenge, but don’t care that much about high scores, finishing a game on a single credit, or playing at the hardest difficulty level. In 2024 and I found myself drawn to shmups because I wanted some games that I could play for a few minutes here and there. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Path_of_Exile_2_should_hopefully_be_Steam_Deck_Verified with_the_next_major_update_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Path of Exile 2 is getting a major update "Return of the Ancients" on May 29th, and there's a lot coming with it - including various Steam Deck updates. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Dark_and_Darker_gets_a_fix_for_Linux_/_Steam_Deck_being unable_to_play_certain_modes_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Dark and Darker is a hardcore fantasy FPS dungeon PvPvE adventure currently in Early Access, it's quite popular and now should work properly again on Linux. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Aliens:_Fireteam_Elite_2_revealed_to_arrive_this "Summer"_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ While the first game was reasonably okay, I am keen for more Alien action games so hopefully Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 will be a lot better.

I'm still sore about that. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Alabaster_Dawn_from_the_developers_of_the_excellent CrossCode_is_now_in_Early_Access_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Alabaster Dawn is a fresh top-down 2.5D action RPG from Radical Fish Games, the developers of the excellent CrossCode.

I was initially not sure I could receive a sample, as Thailand is pretty strict with licenses for this type of hardware, but Rikomagic told us that it would not be a problem when using DDP (delivered duty paid), and the courier handles all paperwork.

The board they designed then is a complete and very well-engineered sync splitter. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ How_FermiLabs_builds_championship-level_robots_with_Arduino⠀⇛ Team Tachyons – who showcased their work during Arduino Days 2026 and are led by YouTuber and TEDx speaker Etto Fins – met that challenge by centering their robot on the Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi, leveraging the board’s ability to handle complex, multi- threaded tasks with the reliability and low latency that competitive robotics demands. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ 6.67-inch_flexible_AMOLED_display_works_with_Raspberry Pi,_LattePanda,_and_other_SBCs_with_HDMI_output⠀⇛ DFRobot has introduced a 6.67-inch flexible AMOLED display with a 2400×1080 resolution, designed for easy use with single-board computers such as Raspberry Pi and LattePanda. While flexible displays are common in smartphones, they are difficult to interface with SBCs, so DFRobot added a dedicated MIPI-to-HDMI driver board for plug-and-play compatibility with a wider range of platforms. The panel is just 1.2mm thick and bendable, enabling curved and space-constrained designs, while delivering 450 cd/m² brightness and 16.7 million colors. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1783 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/09/OpenSUSE_Planet_News_Roundup_Tumbleweed_Development_Report.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/09/OpenSUSE_Planet_News_Roundup_Tumbleweed_Development_Report.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ OpenSUSE Planet News Roundup Tumbleweed Development Report⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 09, 2026 * ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ Planet_News_Roundup⠀⇛ The community blog feed aggregator lists the featured highlights below from May 1 to 7. * ⚓ Dominique Leuenberger ☛ Tumbleweed_–_Review_of_the_weeks_2026/18_&_19⠀⇛ Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, Long weekends are a nice thing, holidays on Fridays (like Labor Day), or also the upcoming Ascension Day next week, on Thursday) make for a great time to relax. But they pull me away from my desk and make me slack off on writing the weekly review.

A design file is an excellent tool for alignment; show it to various stakeholders for them to agree on (and, please make sure your development partner is one of those stakeholders). It removes some level of ambiguity when everyone thinks of the particular feature. See also, consistent naming of components. * ⚓ Sean Goedecke ☛ Notes_on_incidents⠀⇛ Incidents are boring. Most of what you actually do during an incident is wait: for some other team to investigate, or for a deploy to finish, or for the result of some change to become apparent, or for someone else who’s been paged to come online. It’s stressful, but there’s often just not that much to do. * ⚓ Kiran Chauhan ☛ Let's_Build_Video_Player⠀⇛ This is the first article in the series of the articles where we are going to build video player - player. The idea is simple, we will create a minimal video player program and then extend the functionalities of it via "extension articles". Let's see how things will go! I will update the following list as I publish the article(s) in this series. * ⚓ Chris Wellons ☛ Concurrent,_atomic_MSI_hash_tables⠀⇛ Readers will be familiar with Mask-Step-Index (MSI) hash tables, a technique for building fast, open-addressed hash tables in a dozen lines of code. If multiple threads or processes access an MSI table with at least one still inserting elements, care must be taken to avoid data races. This article will show how to add atomic operations to MSI tables in order to support different concurrency constraints. Let’s begin with the simplest case: An integer hash set, no deletions, only one insert thread (single producer), and consumers do not care about insert order. That is, the producer inserts A then B, but consumers may observe B in the table before A. Suppose this is the hash table in the single-threaded case: [...] * ⚓ Qt ☛ Qt_Creator_20_Beta_released⠀⇛ We are happy to announce the release of Qt Creator 20 Beta! * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Perl ☛ PTS_2026⠀⇛ A quick summary of what I got up to at PTS 2026 in Vienna. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Edge_detection_in_Python⠀⇛ Today I want to focus on a topic from a timeless book that inspired me to think differently and, particularly, to effectively apply a first principles approach to problem-solving. The topic is edge detection, and that book is Vision, by David Marr7. Just as On the Origin of Species8 and On Growth and Form9, this is yet another masterpiece that brought together different disciplines – in this case neurophysiology and computer vision – to revolutionise science. In this blog post we will define and compare algorithms for image edge detection, and explore their remarkable similarity with neurophysiological readings. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Detecting_(or_not)_the_use_of_-l_and_- c_together_in_Bourne_shells⠀⇛ Many Bourne shells go slightly beyond the POSIX sh specification to also support a '-l' option that makes the shell act as a 'login shell'. POSIX's omission of - l isn't only because it doesn't really talk about login shells at all, it's also because Unix has a special way of marking login shells that goes back very far in its history. The -l option isn't necessarily what login and sshd and so on use, it's something that you can use if you specifically want to get a login shell in an unusual circumstance. * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Differencing:_A_Transformation_or_a_Trap?⠀⇛ Differencing is one of the most common transformations in time series analysis. It is also one of the easiest transformations to misunderstand. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1998 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/09/Red_Hat_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/09/Red_Hat_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 09, 2026 * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Your_guide_to_Red_Hat_OpenShift_Service_on_AWS_ (ROSA)_at_Red_Hat_Summit_2026 [Ed: Red Hat (IBM) as GAFAM reseller]⠀⇛ If you're new to the service, ROSA is a fully managed OpenShift platform, jointly engineered and supported by Red Hat and Amazon Web Services (AWS). It's a service that lets you build, deploy, and manage containerized, virtualized, and AI-enabled applications, providing the user with a consistent hybrid cloud experience while Red Hat and AWS handle the underlying infrastructure and operations. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Bringing_new_levels_of_security_to_the_cloud-native frontier:_Unified_posture_management_and_real-time_protection⠀⇛ Palo Alto Networks and Red Hat have collaborated to deliver a deep, native integration that provides more consistent and comprehensive security capabilities across all Red Hat OpenShift environments, including containers, VMs, and AI deployments. * ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Red_Hat_brings_AI,_virtualization_and_hybrid_cloud under_one_platform [Ed: Red Hat-sponsored 'articles' about Red Hat, promoting slop nonsense]⠀⇛ Enterprise artificial intelligence is growing more complicated, and platform engineering is becoming the control layer that keeps it moving. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Federated_identity_across_the_hybrid_cloud_using_zero_trust workload_identity_manager⠀⇛ Modern organizations increasingly rely not on monolithic applications, but on smaller and more specialized systems and services that interact with each other. These assets may reside close by in the same operating environment, or in a totally different environment altogether—for instance, one may be in an on-premise datacenter and another in a public cloud. It's crucial that any interaction between resources be facilitated in a secure fashion, regardless of where they are running. Traditional mechanisms, such as username/password pairs (or access key/secret key pairs) are no longer sufficient, which makes alternative solutions necessary. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2066 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/09/RuscaLinux_Debian_based_Linux_distribution_optimized_for_Italia.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/05/09/RuscaLinux_Debian_based_Linux_distribution_optimized_for_Italia.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ RuscaLinux – Debian-based Linux distribution optimized for Italian-speaking users⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on May 09, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇RuscaLinux⦈_ Quoting: RuscaLinux - Debian-based Linux distribution optimized for Italian- speaking users - LinuxLinks — RuscaLinux is a Debian-based Linux distribution optimized for Italian-speaking users.

howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 09, 2026 * ⚓ Joost de Valk ☛ The_missing_guide_to_SEO_domain_migrations⠀⇛ Domain migrations are asymmetric bets. There has to be an upside, otherwise you shouldn’t be doing this. The upside might be a stronger brand, a TLD that finally reads as international, or two competing properties consolidated into one. But whatever that upside is, there’s a limit to how big it can get. The downside has no limit. A bad migration permanently loses traffic, rankings, and revenue you’d already earned. Aim for intact first. The upside comes after. * ⚓ Teleport ☛ SSH_Port_22:_Custom_Ports,_Port_Forwarding_Security,_and Production_SS⠀⇛ The sequencing of this process is critical. The new port must be allowed through the host firewall before the original port is closed — reversing that order can immediately lock you out of the system, especially on remote infrastructure where no out-of-band access exists. This applies regardless of whether the system uses higher-level tools like UFW or direct packet filtering with nftables. You must always ensure the new path is open before removing the old one. * ⚓ Carl Svensson ☛ Pixels_I_Have_Known_And_Loved⠀⇛ Ever since I first saw an Amiga, I've loved pixel art. While there's a lot of fantastic pixel art in Amiga games, it's the technically impressive images from the demo scene that's stayed with me for decades and continue to fascinate me. For a long time, scene pixel art was almost exclusively about technique and consisted mostly of copied (or plagiarized) works. Some of the pictures below are no doubt perfect copies (or plagiarisms), others are compositions of existing art, and a few are completely original works. All of them have, however, been painstakingly pixelled by hand. Some of the artists are still active and has long since evolved away from copying and perfected styles of their own. It's perhaps unfair to let them be represented by older works, but I say they have nothing to be ashamed of. These are wonderful, timeless works of mouse and hand. * ⚓ Christian Hofstede-Kuhn ☛ Reproducible_Ansible_with_Execution Environments⠀⇛ If you’ve run Ansible for any non-trivial length of time, you’ve hit the control-node problem. A laptop accumulates a ~/.ansible/collections/ tree, a venv with a dozen Python libraries pinned to whatever pip install gave you that afternoon, and a handful of distro packages (sshpass, git, sometimes kerberos headers) that you only remember are there when a teammate clones the repo and the same playbook fails for them. CI papers over part of that with a fresh container per job, but only as long as you keep the install steps in lock- step with what the laptops are running, which is where it usually falls apart. Execution Environments are the answer the Ansible project converged on for that whole class of problem. An Execution Environment (EE) is a container image that bundles ansible- core, ansible-runner, your collections, your Python dependencies, and any system packages you need into a single artifact with a tag you can pin. ansible-builder is the tool that produces it from a declarative definition; ansible- navigator is what you run instead of ansible-playbook so the playbook executes inside that image. The same image is what AAP and AWX use natively, so the “works on my laptop” problem and the “works in dev but not in production” problem collapse into the same problem and get solved once. This article is the practical walkthrough I’d give a teammate who’s just been told “we’re moving to EEs”. What they are, why you’d want one, how the two tools fit together, and the gotchas that aren’t obvious from the docs. * ⚓ Kyrylo Silin ☛ Just_fucking_use_HTML⠀⇛ Hey, dipshit! You know what loads faster than your bloated, overengineered mess? Plain, unadulterated HTML. And you know what doesn't break every motherfucking Tuesday? HTML that just fucking works. Why the fuck are you overcomplicating things, you masochistic fuck? You're out here acting like you're building the next goddamn moon landing when all you need is a button and some text. Newsflash, asshole: the web was doing just fine before your bloated frameworks crawled out of the sewer. You're out here dropping ten grand on some fancy-ass framework like it's a Gucci purse, just to haul around the same shitty groceries you could've carried in a plastic bag from 1995.
