It’s the kind of thing you don’t notice until you go back to a Projectile without it and suddenly your muscle memory is off. It works with any completion UI (Vertico, the default one, whatever) and under every indexing method, and it’s on by default. If it’s not your thing, set projectile-enable-frecency to nil. * § Web Browsers/Web Servers/Feed Readers⠀➾ o § Chromium⠀➾ # ⚓ Steinar H Gunderson ☛ Steinar_H._Gunderson:_An_update_on sesse@chromium.org⠀⇛ As previously mentioned, I am leaving Chrome; my last work day was yesterday.

But I'm staying in Google, on more internal projects :-) # ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Brave_Says_This_is_Not_a_Privacy_Feature,_But Using_Containers_Has_Its_Perks⠀⇛ Brave Browser 1.92 introduces support for Containers that isolate cookies and site data per tab. * § FSF / Software Freedom / Digital Sovereignty⠀➾ o ⚓ Ludlow Institute ☛ A_Declaration_of_Digital_Independence⠀⇛ This year marks a major anniversary of the Declaration of Independence: “Governments of the Industrial World ... I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather.” Oh, you thought I was talking about a different declaration. Those are the opening lines of the Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace, written in 1996 by John Perry Barlow, a founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and a lyricist for the Grateful Dead. It turns thirty this year. And it was modeled on the original Declaration of Independence from 1776, which turns 250 years old today. * § GNU Projects⠀➾ o ⚓ GNU ☛ GNU_Guix:_‘guix_substitute’_and_‘guix_pull’ Vulnerabilities⠀⇛ Several security issues (CVE IDs pending) have been identified in guix substitute, a helper utility invoked by You can now more easily find the System Settings page responsible for the “press and hold a key to see alternative characters” popup, to turn it on or off or change the delay before it appears.

It is a whole decentralized networking stack that allows anything from instant messaging and voice calls to full-on SSH sessions to be carried over a multitude of different interfaces. You can transport Reticulum over LoRa, Bluetooth, and also over regular TCP/IP networks. And if authorities didn’t take a dim view on encryption in ham radio, it would also work over our HF radio. With store-and-forward mechanisms it can deal with intermittent connectivity. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 830 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/05/GNU_Linux_and_BSD_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/05/GNU_Linux_and_BSD_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux and BSD Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 05, 2026 * § Desktop/Laptop⠀➾ o ⚓ PC Mag ☛ Wait!_Instead_of_Throwing_Away_That_Old_PC,_Try_One_of These_20_Fun_Projects⠀⇛ Can't upgrade to Windows 11? Make your computer feel young (and safe) again with a freshly installed operating system. Most alternative OSes (translation: neither Windows nor macOS) are based on Linux, which comes in a variety of options called "distros." Popular examples include Ubuntu, Mint, elementary OS, and Zorin OS. You'll find interfaces similar to Windows, and they come with software packages such as LibreOffice (a free, open- source equivalent to Microsoft Office). Most work well on PCs with 4GB of RAM or more, but check the specifications. * § Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Why_I_stopped_installing_apps_the_traditional_Linux way⠀⇛ Installing programs on Linux is a fairly simple process. Using a package manager and an installation command ( sudo apt install [program name] for example) in your terminal installs an application, assuming it's available in your distro's repositories. As I grew more experienced with the operating system, I stopped installing Linux apps the traditional way, largely because the other options offer more control, variety, and customization. Here's why and what I do instead. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Improved_hardware_profiling_for_audio⠀⇛ Hardware profiling is one of the unique features of EasyOS.

As noted by [balooii], this version of GIMP was very much Beta software, with all of the UI quirks you’d expect. It also features the multiple unconnected windows (not MDI) approach to its UI – dropped in more recent GIMP releases — that has enraged proponents of the single window approach, as used by all commercial competitors, including Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop. # ⚓ Kevin_Fenzi:_misc_fedora_bits:_start_of_july_2026⠀⇛ "Today's the fourth of july.

Staying focused and relaxed is positive for one's health and we really enjoy running this site with our community.

GNU/Linux is is_doing_just_fine and it no longer depends on the media promoting it. Us the "Advocates" play a different role now.

She_is_running_to_keep_fit_and_happy and so do I, as I intend to try to carry_on_for_another_40_years if I can stay alive and sharp enough for that long. Earlier today I wrote about Richard_Stallman_(RMS)_with_his_public_appearances. RMS has thankfully shaken off all the "haters". There's a saying along the lines of, "show me who your friends are and I'll tell you who (or what) you are". Similarly, one could assert that by seeing one's enemies and studying just how hard they attack (smears, blackmail etc.) it should be possible to assess their overall importance and impact (who hates them, how much, and why). RMS is mostly attacked by all the sorts of people and companies that detest his objective of Software Freedom. So power to him. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Lancaster ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣝⣶⣿⣿⣿⡷⢿⠿⠋⣉⢹⡅⠀⠀⣁⣙⡁⠀⠀⠀⠁⢠⣤⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣶⣿⣷⣿⠿⠿⠯⣤⠖⢳⠖ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣬⣭⡋⠉⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⢉⡷⠼⣧⡄⠴⣦⣶⣶⢿⠿⠿⣤⣽⠶⢰⣾⣿⣟⣿⣿⢿⣿⡿⣡⣿⠿⠉⡉⠁⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣾⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⣿⣿⣗⣀⠈⣓⣻⣏⣀⠱⠰⠶⠘⠋⠁⠀⢀⣼⣿⢿⣿⡗⣾⣿⡗⠈⠂⠀⠢⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⡿⠧⠜⢿⡛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠿⣻⠷⢿⣃⣰⣇⡤⢠⠖⢿⣩⣿⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣇⠴⡀⠀⠀⠂⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣈⣳⢾⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣼⣯⣰⣿⣿⣷⣬⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⠟⠋⠿⠷⡦⢴⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣩⣑⣾⣿⣿⣿⠟⢲⣆⣸⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠛⠉⠈⠘⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠒⠐⠂⠀⠐⠆⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣛⣟⢻⣿⠴⣿⠘⠈⠚⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣫⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡇⣻⣆⡠⣿⣿⣿⣏⠙⣿⣯⣛⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡽⣻⣿⡿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⡛⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⠿⢿⣿⠏⠹⣿⣿⣿⡟⠲⣿⣿⠁⡇⣠⠟⠿⠛⡛⠁⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣽⣿⣿⢿⣿⢿⣿⠿⠛⢿⣯⣿⢶⣿⣤⣼⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⡭⡄⠀⠙⠹⡄⢿⠀⠀⢀⢈⡅⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣏⣐⣠⠉⠀⠀⠉⠀⠈⣠⣤⣄⣾⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡉⢀⣤⢦⠀⠡⢇⠈⣀⡀⣾⢟⢁⡀⠠⣦⣀⣿⣆⣠⡙⠿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣙⡻⠿⣻⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⡔⠶⣺⣿⣶⣗⠀⠘⠿⣷⣿⣿⣟⡁⠙⢿⣏⠁⠘⣿⡞⠀⢀⡟⢘⣿⣿⣿⣩⣾⣥⣧⠀⠉⠟⠋⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣈⣿⣿⣿⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣉⡾⡿⢂⠮⢾⣷⡀⢸⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣯⣾⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣷⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⣿⣄⢉⡀⠱⠴⣿⡿⣀⢸⡇⢻⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⡿⡥⠆⠀⠀⢀⡠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣯⠜⠛⣇⣩⣉⠀⢈⣽⣿⣿⣿⣇⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢓⣖⣲⣶⣶⡿⠀⠀⡀⢀⢀⣔⡒⢤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣾⣿⣶⣟⣤⣵⣭⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣽⡟⠛⠁⠀⠈⠀⠀⠁⠀⠘⠛⠛⠶⠋⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠟⠋⠛⠛⣿⣉⣿⣿⢿⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡿⠟⠩⢭⣽⣏⠿⣷⠂⠈⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡛⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⢤⣤⠀⠀⠘⠻⢷⣿⣿⣠⣾⣿⣿⡟⠯⠻⠏⠘⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀ ⣀⢨⣿⣿⣷⣿⣠⣼⠇⠀⠀⢠⣟⡛⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠛⠉⠀⠁⠀⠂⠩⠀⡈⠀⡐⡧⡄⠐⠀⠻⢿⢟⣹⡿⢻⣿⡽⡇⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠃⠀⠃⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⡯⢉⠻⠿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⡏⠀⣀⢀⣠⡄⠀⠐⠆⡐⠢⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⢾⣟⣿⣿⣟⣿⢇⡄⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⢀⢀⣀⣀⣨⡿⠀⠈⢤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣁⣀⠈⣽⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠋⢶⡢⣴⠐⠃⠀⠀⠐⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠚⠁⠊⠁⣠⣿⠷⠻⠋⠀⠀⠀⠆⠀⣠⡞⠘⢹⣭⣽⠅⠘⣣⣴⠏⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⠲⠿⡓⠀⠿⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⢐⣿⡧⢂⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠼⢿⣿⢗⣨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢁⠀⣀⣼⡿⣿⣶⣾⣭⡀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⣄⣰⡆⠁⡀⡠⣀ ⢠⣤⠄⠀⣀⠰⠖⠉⢉⣄⣠⠿⣅⡀⠈⣾⢿⣿⡿⠿⣶⣿⣿⣷⣛⡾⠖⠳⠍⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣇⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠹⢛⠅⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡶⣶⣦⢔⡒⠀⠀⠀⠃⠠⠲⠯⠍⠉⡀ ⠁⠢⡷⠷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣯⣼⣿⣷⣶⡇⠙⠀⠂⠌⢿⢿⣿⣿⣯⣓⣶⣾⣃⣰⡗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣶⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠁⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠄⢀⣀⣀⠀⢠⠖⠂⢰⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⣿⣯⠀⢀⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡍⠉⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⣾⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠒⢂⣙⡛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠟⢁⡾⠋⠈⠙⣟⣁⣾⠻⣿⢯⠛⢾⣿⠛⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣙⣽⣷⡄⠀⠀⢹⣿⡿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠴⢀⣧⠂⢀⠙⠀⠀⡠⠠⡤⠐⠀⠠⠄⢀⠀⠀⠺⠷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠈⡨⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢖⠛⣿⣿⣧⡀⠠⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⢩⡭⢻⣿⣿⣟⡟⢫⠙⠁⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠄⣤⣤⣎⣽⣗⡟⢉⣴⣶⡞⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⡄⢠⣦⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⣀⣰⣶ ⡀⢀⣀⢀⡲⣤⣄⣀⠀⢀⡠⢀⣤⣆⣡⣾⣟⣿⣧⣠⣬⢉⣦⣤⠀⠆⠀⠀⠀⠐⢫⣶⣿⡿⡆⠦⠀⢀⣴⣋⣿⣯⡍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣾⣯⣿⣛⣉⠋⠙⠳⠄⠀⠀⢘⠋⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣼⣤⣀⡉⠉⢙ ⣿⣧⣤⣤⣽⡿⣿⣿⣤⣶⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⢰⣿⣿⠭⠘⢻⠇⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⡬⢿⣿⡿⣿⠂⢀⠠⣴⣿⠟⢟⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⢈⡧⢤⣿⣿⣽⡿⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢴⣾⣦⣶⣏⡉⢿⣿⣶⣿ ⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡀⠀⠆⠀⠀⠀⣀⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡷⣍⡛⢿⠏⣰⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⢠⣼⣷⡌⠻⣿⠋⠁⠀⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣼⢿⠟⠀⠀⠘⠿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣋⠼⣿⣿⠟⢀⣄⠀⣨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⢠⣀⣬⠿⠿⣷⣾⠿⢿⣿⠀⠀⣘⣿⣿⠏⢸⡅⢁⣠⣀⡌⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠊⠀⢠⡉⢀⣴⣠⣿⣿⣿⠷⠃⠀⠀⠰⠶⡧ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣧⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣋⠽⣯⣿⣽⣼⠛⢿⣿⣿⣟⢃⣻⣷⢠⣥⡄⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣯⡀⢠⡐⣃⣿⣿⣿⠆⡴⠖⠂⢠⣤⡀⢠⣿⡇⠈⠉⠍⡟⠉⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠰⣯⡄ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⠿⡟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⡿⢻⠛⠋⠺⡿⠁⠾⢛⣟⣭⣭⢉⣽⡿⠄⠉⠁⠀⠀⡜⢹⣿⣿⠿⢿⢿⣿⠿⢾⣿⣿⣶⡦⣶⣷⡈⠟⣽⠁⠑⠀⠲⡇⠀⠀⠀⠰⣶⡄⠀⠀⠘⠃ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣟⡻⣿⠛⠛⣿⣓⣾⢦⡤⠆⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⡆⢈⣽⣿⣿⣷⠂⠼⡶⠆⡼⠁⣠⣾⣿⣷⣤⣤⣬⠀⠈⠛⢿⠏⠁⢿⣿⡧⠀⠈⠀⠀⠰⡫⠃⠠⠀⠀⠀⠁⢀⠀⠀⠀⣾ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣽⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⡷⠲⣦⣴⣶⣿⣿⣧⠓⠈⢻⣿⠟⠁⢠⡄⠁⣸⠁⣴⣿⣿⣿⢁⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠘⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⢁⣠⣄⡐⡖⣀⠀⣀⣠⠆⢢⣄⣺⣷ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⠿⠿⠿⣿⣷⣿⣿⠻⢐⡁⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣶⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡟⠀⣸⣿⡏⣿⣿⣿⠿⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢂⣀⣀⣀⣾⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⣰⡾⠃⠛⡁⢠⣴⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣇⣐⣀⣤⣤⣤⣬⣡⡐⠟⠅⠈⣿⣿⣯⣭⣍⣽⣿⡄⣨⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣂⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡤⢟⣩⡃⠠⠋⠁⠀⠈⢩⣤⣶⣿⡿⢻⣯⣿⡿ ⣿⡟⠿⣦⣠⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣋⣩⡿⠿⠛⠭⠁⢰⡆⠀⠀⠀⢠⠛⠀⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡈⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠻⠋⣁⣀⣴⣤⣀⠀⠈⠉⢨⠿⠲⣸⢳⠁⠀ ⣿⣦⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣹⣿⡷⣿⣿⡿⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣄⣠⣴⣦⡀⠀⣶⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡤⠀⠀⠀⠉⠑⢛⣂⣷⣿⣿⣿⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠄⠚⠃⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣛⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣿⣷⣿⣷⣿⣦⡄⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣙⣯⡦⣬⠽⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣶⣴⣅⣠⣄⠀⡀⠄⢸⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⣀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣧⠀⢈⡀⠀ ⣿⣿⣼⣿⡅⣀⣹⣿⣿⣞⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⢛⠉⠀⠠⠠⣤⣌⡀⠎⠁⡄⠀⠀⠀⠰⠻⣶⣿⡏⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⡉⠀⠀⠀⠹⢿⢿⡛⢣⢴⡶⡿⠧⣤⣩⣿⣿⣿⣷⡗⢀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⠉⢷⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣥⡀⠈⡠⠀⣜⡿⣷⣾⣿⣧⡖⠀⠐⠷⢦⡔⠯⡟⠀⠀⠉⢻⠋⠀⠌⣉⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⣄⠀⠉⣧⣾⣗⡁⢻⣿⣿⣿⡬⢿⣍⡁⠈ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣫⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⠳⡾⣿⡻⢦⣳⡆⣿⣿⣿⡻⣲⣉⡥⠄⣉⠐⢶⡄⡊⠀⢴⠒⠲⡬⣭⣄⠀⠀⡈⢹⣿⣿⣿⠝⢇⡰⢶⣿⣟⣻⣿⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⢻⡏⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣟⣿⣯⣋⣉⣥⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⢽⣿⣿⣯⣾⣿⣿⣽⢻⢰⣍⣔⣃⣙⣆⡂⢾⣥⣖⣴⣿⡷⠄⠃⠀⡤⠼⣷⣤⣤⣤⣄⠆⠂⢠⠾⣿⡿⠁⣶⢾⠀⠀⠀⠛⠉⠈⠀⢻⣿⡟⠻ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣾⣿⣿⢿⢷⣻⡾⣥⠙⢿⠿⠇⢤⢦⣄⣀⡆⠸⣛⣿⣿⣟⣛⡻⠿⢻⣿⡟⠛⠟⢚⡻⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣍⣿⣬⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣷⣶⣵⣿⣶⣶⣶⠶⣷⣶⣶⣦⣟⠛⠢⢠⡭⢙⣿⣿⠏⠀⠲⠾⢧⢠⣿⣼⣿⠶⣾⡍⠀⠉⢠⡐⠦⠄⠈⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⡟⢛⠻⢟⣿⡿⢱⣶⣶⣾⣟⣻⣬⡀⢤⠛⢂⣲⡶⢘⣯⣌⣿⡊⣄⣠⡄⠰⡿⠛⠧⢄⣤⣼⣷⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⠌⣛⣿⣿⣿⣻⣻⣿⠿⠇⢉⣝⡛⠁⠀⣤⠈⠹⢑⣈⠉⢻⣿⣿⣩⣭⡀⠘⠛⠠⠈⠙⢛⣳⣭⣟ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢶⢿⢙⣁⠊⠴⢦⣶⣶⠈⢁⢈⣻⣿⡿⢿⣿⣾⣧⡴⢶⣶⣿⣤⣿⠟⡛ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣻⣿⣧⣀⣀⡸⢙⣿⡷⢛⣿⣿⣮⡿⠇⠹⡇⠿⠻⣷⣠⣿⣼⣯⣽⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣭⠶⠺⠫⣻⣝⣓⡶⢾⣠⣤⣤⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣫⣝⣴⣶⣩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1073 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/05/July_Edition_of_PCLinuxOS_Magazine.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/05/July_Edition_of_PCLinuxOS_Magazine.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ July Edition of PCLinuxOS Magazine⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 05, 2026 Links 05/07/2026: Links for the day 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * GNU/Linux o Instructionals/Technical * Distributions_and_Operating_Systems o PCLinuxOS/Mageia/Mandriva/OpenMandriva_Family * Free,_Libre,_and_Open_Source_Software o Programming/Development # Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ ICYMI:_California_Exempts_Linux,_Open_Source OS's_From_Age_Verification_Law⠀⇛ California plans to exclude Linux and most other open- source operating systems from its new age verification law, which takes effect on Jan. 1, 2027, according to an article from Extreme Tech. The change follows massive pushback from the open-source software community. In October 2025, Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 1043, a new law for OS providers in California. This law requires an OS to collect users' ages or birth dates when they set up their accounts. OS providers then must share this information with app developers through a real-time API. The law divides users into four age groups: under 13, 13- 16, 16-18, and 18 and over. Currently, it defines “"operating system provider” as anyone who develops, licenses, or maintains operating system software. This includes companies that make Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Linux distributions, and Valve's SteamOS. But the Linux community is overwhelmingly against applying the law to open-source operating systems. Critics have said it would be very hard to enforce rules for community-run distributions such as Ubuntu and Debian. These systems don't have a central account system and let users download ISO files from various mirrors around the world. Something similar has also happened in Colorado, where Colorado's path here involved some direct community legwork. Carl Richell, the founder of System76, spent some considerable time working with Senator Matt Ball, one of SB26-051's co-authors, to get open source exclusions written into the bill, according to another article from It’s Foss. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ Alternative_“Fixes”_For_The_NLUUG_Repo Path_Problem⠀⇛ Last month we published an article about what happened during the Great NLUUG Snafu (GNS) of mid- May 2026, with instructions on how to manually fix the repo directory path so that your PCLinuxOS computer can receive updates. For more detailed background on the GNS, please consult the June 2026 article. If you have not yet made the manual change to your system configuration, I will present additional options for you to consider. This proves the truism that there are multiple ways to accomplish a task on Linux. # ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ A_Custom_Script_To_Manage_Your Wireguard_VPN_Connection⠀⇛ Because I like simple, non-intrusive ways of getting things done and, for various reasons, other options open to me were not acceptable. Main amongst those is that Proton, my selected VPN provider, only provides their application for distros that have systemd running. There is a very short list of distros they “support”. # ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ GIMP_Tutorial:_The_Resynthesizer_Plug- In⠀⇛ Three years ago, I did a tutorial reviewing the Resynthesizer plug-in that GIMP has. It’s an interesting plug-in which allows you to seamlessly remove something from an image that you don’t want. Since GIMP was updated to version 3.0, those older plug-ins no longer work, so I went looking. I did find a tutorial from Davies Media Design. Davies does a good job of explaining what the resynthesizer does. However, this was for GIMP 2.10. # ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ Wiki_Pick:_Getting_Rid_Of_Unwanted/ Unneeded_Files⠀⇛ This page is the results of the questions asked about how to remove unneeded/unwanted files on the PCLinuxOS forum. This ONLY involves cleaning old logs and other system stuff that is not needed. # ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ Tip_Top_Tips:_KDE_6.x.y_Change Shutdown/Logout_Countdown_(Konsole_Method)⠀⇛ Tip Top Tips is a semi-monthly column in The PCLinuxOS Magazine. Periodically, we will feature – and possibly even expand upon – one tip from the PCLinuxOS forum. The magazine will not accept independent tip submissions specifically intended for inclusion in the Tip Top Tips column. Rather, if you have a tip, share it in the PCLinuxOS forum’s “Tips & Tricks” section. Occasionally, we may run a “tip” posted elsewhere in the PCLinuxOS forum. Either way, share your tip in the forum, and it just may be selected for publication in The PCLinuxOS Magazine. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § PCLinuxOS/Mageia/Mandriva/OpenMandriva Family⠀➾ # ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ From_The_Chief_Editor's_Desk...⠀⇛ Seventeen years ago, in July 2009, I was named the Chief Editor of The PCLinuxOS Magazine. It’s a position that I’ve held ever since. [...] Back then, we had another forum where development ideas were put forth and tried out. It was called MyPCLinuxOS. Our former and departed moderator Archie Arevalo put out a call to resurrect the magazine, which, at that time, had been published on a mostly monthly basis (with the exception of the tenure of the former editor). Having a journalism background (I had worked as a photojournalist for a number of years before then, both for local daily newspapers and for the wire services), I immediately threw my name into the hat to be the person to lead that resurrection of the magazine. # ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ PCLinuxOS_Screenshot_Showcase⠀⇛ * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Programming⠀➾ # § Shell/Bash⠀➾ # ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ A_New_Script_To_Create_Image Transparency⠀⇛ It’s definitely no secret: I spend a LOT of time working with graphic files in my position as the chief editor for The PCLinuxOS Magazine. You would think that with as much time as I spend working with graphic files, I’d be some kind of GIMP savant … but I’m not. My GIMP skills, if I had to rate them, are just a hair above average (my own assessment). On the staff of The PCLinuxOS Magazine, Meemaw is the resident graphics guru. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1290 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/05/LankeOS_Linux_distribution_built_from_scratch.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/05/LankeOS_Linux_distribution_built_from_scratch.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ LankeOS – Linux distribution built from scratch⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jul 05, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇LankeOS⦈_ Quoting: LankeOS - Linux distribution built from scratch - LinuxLinks — LankeOS is a Linux distribution built from scratch using Linux From Scratch (LFS).

But how about in a theatrical setting, where time runs at the whim of the director? For the stage, a clock with more flexibility is required. To this endeavor [Playful Technology] has you covered, with a larger than life stage clock whose hands are independently controllable by DMX. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Yesterday’s_Technology,_Re-engineered_Today⠀⇛ There is of course a spectrum of people playing around with old computers. For some people, let’s call them “vintage computer enthusiasts”, half of the fun is in keeping the actual old hardware running. This group tends to know what teletype lubricant smells like, and how to tell which capacitors need replacing. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Building_A_Wireless_Fingerprint_Authorization_Device⠀⇛ The device is based on a WCH CH592F microcontroller, which comes with Bluetooth connectivity out of the box. This allows immurok to connect wirelessly to the machine of your choice, advertising itself as a standard Bluetooth HID keyboard device. Fingerprint-wise, scanning is done with an R559S capacitive sensor, which verifies the match locally so there’s no transmitting biometric data anywhere. On the computer side, Linux is setup to use a CLI/TUI app plus PAM integration to handle authorization for system logins and sudo in the terminal. On the Mac platform, it’s used with a menu bar app, with PAM integration for admin prompts. There’s also a separate helper path for using it with the lock screen. * ⚓ Gabriel ☛ A_Killswitch⠀⇛ When I first got my Nintendo Switch 2, the first thing I noticed I wasn’t much of a fan of was the ergonomics—holding it and trying to play with it in handheld mode felt weird. I guess my hands are used to the safe grip of a video game controller. So I did, like most people do when they first get one of these devices, look for a grip case. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1533 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/05/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/05/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 05, 2026 * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ DataGeeek ☛ Understanding_Tail_Analysis_in_Financial_Markets⠀⇛ In financial markets, distinguishing between information- driven movements and liquidity-driven shocks is critical. The reference study we based our work on highlights the importance of tail analysis: comparing Gaussian (thin- tailed) and Student‑t (fat-tailed) distributions to understand whether price changes are more likely to reflect genuine information or temporary liquidity imbalances. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Lalit Maganti ☛ Perfetto_v57:_fixing_PyTorch_traces,_plus journald_logs_and_an_AI_skill⠀⇛ We just released Perfetto v57 and I wanted to share the new things I’m most excited about. This is something I wanted to do for past releases but I just never quite got round to it. It’s also something I plan on doing more of going forward: there might even be dedicated pieces if I think the feature deserves it! o ⚓ Drew Breunig ☛ Understanding_the_Dynamics_of_the_AI_Ecosystem with_Pace_Layers⠀⇛ Imagine: as these layers move at different rates, friction builds between them, slowing the upper layer and quickening the lower. This negotiation, translation, between the layers is constructive when their speeds are different, but in balance. When they’re not, things get weird. o ⚓ Julia Language Blog Aggregator ☛ Metal.jl_1.10:_Linear_algebra, FFTs,_and_a_faster_runtime⠀⇛ Metal.jl 1.10 is a big release. It adds native matrix multiplication, GPU-accelerated linear solvers and FFTs, BFloat16 support, and MPS-backed reductions, scans and sorting. The runtime also got considerably faster and leaner, and there is a new in-process profiler. Before getting into the new features, one thing to flag up front: Metal.jl 1.10 requires macOS 14 or later, up from macOS 13. On older systems the package now refuses to initialize, and Metal.functional() returns false. The supported range is macOS 14 through 26, on Julia 1.10 through 1.13. * § Raku and Perl⠀➾ o ⚓ Perl ☛ The_AI_Revolution_is_Validating_40_Years_of_Perl Philosophy⠀⇛ But if you've been paying attention to Perl since 1987, you know this isn't a revolution--it's a homecoming. When Larry Wall created Perl, he didn't just build a language to sit closer to the metal; he built it to sit closer to speech. While computer science worshiped at the altar of rigid mathematical purism, Perl introduced a context-aware structure built on nouns, verbs, singulars, and plurals. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1631 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/05/Slackel_MATE_9_0.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/05/Slackel_MATE_9_0.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Slackel MATE 9.0⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 05, 2026 Slackel MATE 9.0 is the latest major release branch of the Greek-developed Linux distribution Slackel, built on top of the Slackware "Current" (development) tree and incorporating advanced administration tools borrowed from Salix Linux.

stale tokens, registry mismatches, and broken .npmrc auth settings for public and private registries. * ⚓ peppe8o ☛ How_to_Install_ntfy_on_a_Raspberry_Pi:_Send_Notifications_to your_Smartphone⠀⇛ This tutorial will show you how to send smartphone notifications with ntfy on Raspberry PI computer boards. * ⚓ Martijn Braam ☛ CSS_is_simple,_stop_making_it_hard⠀⇛ I started my day checking the headlines on news sites and saw an interesting title that caught my eye because it's about CSS. These posts are generally interesting because it'll mean I learn some new CSS tricks. The posts I've read are https://dbushell.com/2026/07/03/fixing- full-bleed-css/ and since this refers to https:// www.joshwcomeau.com/css/full-bleed/ I've read that too. And the only thing I think while reading is... why are you making this so complicated. But still you should read those posts but I also learned some new tricks. * § linuxcapable⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Vivaldi_Browser_on_Rocky_GNU/Linux 10,_9_and_8⠀⇛ Install Vivaldi Browser on Rocky GNU/Linux 10, 9, and 8 with Vivaldi's signed RPM repository so DNF owns package verification, updates, and removal. Stable stays the daily channel, Snapshot stays optional for preview testing, and the screenshots show first-run setup and the start page. o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_List_Services_on_Ubuntu_26.04,_24.04_and 22.04⠀⇛ Audit Ubuntu 26.04, 24.04, and 22.04 services without mixing runtime and boot enablement questions: check running, loaded, enabled, failed, user, and socket- activated units, then compare listeners and legacy service output before changing access-critical daemons. o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Create_a_Sudo_User_on_CentOS_Stream_10_and 9⠀⇛ Create a sudo user on CentOS Stream 10 and 9 with a named account, password policy, wheel group access, and a fresh-session sudo test. The guide also shows how to add sudo to an existing user, confirm sudoers policy, revoke wheel access, delete the account, and troubleshoot common failures. o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_htop_on_Rocky_GNU/Linux_10,_9_and 8⠀⇛ Set up htop on Rocky GNU/Linux 10, 9, or 8 without mixing package ownership: use EPEL for DNF-managed updates, or build upstream htop under your account when newer features matter. Then use the dashboard, read-only mode, update path, removal steps, and PATH fixes. o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_PeaZip_on_Ubuntu_26.04,_24.04_and 22.04⠀⇛ Install PeaZip on Ubuntu 26.04, 24.04, and 22.04 with a packaging path that fits your update model. The guide separates the XtraDeb PPA, Flathub, and a digest-verified Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub portable helper so launch, archive workflow, updates, troubleshooting, and removal stay predictable. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_ClamAV_on_Fedora_44⠀⇛ If you want to Install ClamAV on Fedora 44, this guide walks you through the cleanest way to set it up, update virus signatures [...] o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Caddy_on_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ Caddy gives you a clean way to run a web server with automatic HTTPS and a simple config file. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_ClamAV_on_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ Malware on GNU/Linux servers is more common than most people admit. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2584 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/05/Windows_Under_60_as_Linux_Hits_a_Yearly_High_Full_Breakdown.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/05/Windows_Under_60_as_Linux_Hits_a_Yearly_High_Full_Breakdown.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Windows Under 60% as Linux Hits a Yearly High: Full Breakdown⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 05, 2026 Windows just had its worst month on record.
