Currencies, Some Graphics News⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 16, 2026, updated Jul 16, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Puranjay_Mohan⦈_ * ⚓ Modernizing_the_Meta_Ads_Service_With_an_Open-Source_Kernel_Scheduler [Ed: Tarnishing the name of Linux with brainwash and spam]⠀⇛ sched_ext is an open-source, BPF-based scheduler framework that officially entered kernel v6.12. We developed it by partnering with the authors of Google’s ghOSt to design a scheduler suitable for upstream Linux integration. It has already been deployed in several services at Meta, delivering meaningful reductions in scheduling latency. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Progress_in_modernizing_kernel_cryptography_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ At the 2026 Linux Security Summit North America, Eric Biggers spoke about some of the problems with the kernel's cryptography framework, as well as the recent progress in adding library APIs to allow developers to use cryptographic functions without using the traditional crypto API. He walked through a couple of examples to demonstrate the frailty of the original API and showed how the new library API made life easier for developers and kernel maintainers. Biggers began by introducing himself. He is a maintainer of the crypto and cyclic redundancy check (CRC) library code in the Linux kernel, as well as of the fscrypt library and fs-verity support layer. He said that he was grouping CRCs in with crypto because ""they are very similar from an implementation perspective"" and the code was for the kernel itself to use—user space has its own code. ""It's for all the kernel features that use these algorithms and need to execute them in kernel mode."" The use cases, he said, range from storage or network encryption to generating random numbers, checking firmware integrity, protecting against denial-of-service attacks, and more. * ⚓ LWN ☛ The_kernel's_iomap_layer_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Conversations about the kernel's filesystem implementations often involve a layer called "iomap", but relatively few people can reliably say what iomap actually is. That is just the kind of gap that LWN exists to fill. In short, iomap handles the mapping between data in the filesystem space (identified by a file of interest, and an offset within that file) and in the storage space (which may be a memory location, or a set of blocks on a storage device). Using that mapping, iomap handles a long list of common, filesystem-related tasks, allowing a lot of boilerplate code to be removed from individual filesystem implementations. The iomap code was first introduced as such by Christoph Hellwig for the 4.8 kernel release in late 2016, but much of that functionality was based on an earlier implementation by Dave Chinner in the XFS filesystem. It has grown over the years as filesystems have been converted over and new functionality has been added. The current implementation consists of a dozen files in the fs/iomap directory. It is implemented as two broad layers, a low-level mapping between files and their backing store, which is used by higher-level code to implement much of the functionality that a filesystem needs. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Limiting_negative_dentries_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ A number of problems related to negative directory entries (dentries) were the topic of a filesystem-track session at the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit. Negative dentries are used to indicate that a file of a given name does not exist in a directory; it is an optimization that short-circuits the lookup of the file name when the answer is already known. Miklos Szeredi led a session that discussed some problems that come from having too many negative dentries for a directory. He began by noting that Ian Kent had reported a problem with hundreds of millions of negative dentries for a directory; in that case, the fsnotify_set_children_dentry_flags() call was made, which will iterate over all of the dentries in the directory and cause a soft lockup. A related issue is that the reference count field of the d_lockref lock in struct dentry can overflow if enough dentries are created, Szeredi said. It is not negative-dentry-specific, but it would be hard to create two-billion positive dentries for a directory. Kent had also mentioned that the hash chains may grow too long when there are so many negative dentries, but Szeredi is not sure that is a real problem. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Faster_RCUs_and_lockless_memory_allocation_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Puranjay Mohan shared some of the work he's been doing recently on improving the performance of read-copy-update (RCU) at the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit; his talk would have been nice context to have earlier in the day when Harry Yoo and Alexei Starovoitov led a session about the new kmalloc_nolock() function that allows for lockless allocation from any kernel context, and which interacts with the RCU subsystem to allow that. This article therefore covers the two sessions together and in the reverse order, to provide that missing context. * § Graphics Stack⠀➾ o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Frame:_A_new_X11_server_–_implemented_directly in_assembly⠀⇛ Wayland is dominating the recent news about FOSS GUIs – even dignified elder Xfce’s official support is getting close. However, X11 is very much not dead yet, and new developments keep appearing. Last week, Norwegian FOSS developer Geir Isene announced his all-new server for the venerable X11 display protocol. Its description is in the title of the announcement post: Frame - the first Linux Assembly X server. Isene explains his motivation thus: “On my quest to own my software, one foundational piece kept itching… the X server. The underlying graphics engine, the thing that puts pixels on the screen. X11 is 4 million lines of code, a beast very few can claim they understand. So I did the reasonable thing. I wrote my own, in Assembly.” o ⚓ Lossless_Scaling_benchmarked_in_Linux_on_a_GeForce_RTX_5070_Ti and_Radeon_RX_6600_in_4K⠀⇛ An enthusiast tested the Lossless Scaling frame generation technology on a hybrid setup of two graphics cards from different manufacturers running the Linux CachyOS operating system with the KDE Plasma desktop environment over the Wayland protocol. A twelve-core AMD Ryzen 9 9900X served as the CPU. The primary graphics card for rendering the game was Cyberpunk 2077 The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti model served as the graphics card, and an AMD card was used as a secondary graphics accelerator for image output and running the Lossless Scaling utility. Radeon RX 6600. * § Linux Foundation⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux Foundation's Site/Blog ☛ Linux_Foundation_Announces Operational_Launch_of_x402_Foundation_to_Standardize_Internet-

up the list of DebConf26 keysigning maps for everybody involved. * ⚓ Steinar H Gunderson ☛ Steinar_H._Gunderson:_Looking_at_dpkg_startup time⠀⇛ Five years or so ago, I had a look at trying to speed up dpkg's package installation; I concluded that it was probably possible to speed up, but that there was no appetite for this kind of large-scale changes. (You'd probably need to rewrite the transaction system to get rid of a lot of fsyncs, you'd ideally want to reduce the number of syscalls for unpack by io_uring and so on.) * ⚓ Freexian_Collaborators:_Debian_Contributions:_Python_3.14_as_default transition,_DebConf_26_preparations,_debvm,_pconr_and_more!_(by_Anupa_Ann Joseph)⠀⇛ Debian has had Python 3.13 and 3.14 in unstable and testing since December 2025, with Python 3.13 as the default version (/ usr/bin/python3 = 3.13). This gave time for packages to implement support and detect issues in their test suites. A slot to transition to 3.14 as default was requested from the release team in_March, and they indicated that we would likely be able to schedule it in late June. In preparation, Stefano reviewed the open bugs against Python interpreters and squashed some in uploads of the latest point releases of Python: 3.13.14 and 3.14.6. Also in June, Python 3.15.0_beta_2 and beta_3 released. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ A_moment_of_silence,_please,_for_the_final_release_of Debian_on_x86-32⠀⇛ This week brings two point releases for both Debian 13 - aka “Trixie” - and Debian 12 - “Bookworm,” the latter now shuffling off into long-term support. Debian 13.6 and Debian 12.15 are just the latest point releases of Trixie and Bookworm, but Debian 12.15 is also significant in another way: it marks the end of regular support for Debian 12, which is being handed over to the LTS team. That reduced level of support is scheduled to last until mid-2028. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 614 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/16/Free_and_Open_Source_Software_Benchmark_and_Review.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/16/Free_and_Open_Source_Software_Benchmark_and_Review.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software, Benchmark, and Review⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jul 16, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Beelink_EQi_304_Mini_PC⦈_ * ⚓ Beelink_EQi_304_Mini_PC_Review_-_Introduction_to_the_Series⠀⇛ This is a new series looking at the Beelink EQi Core 3 304 mini PC running Linux. In this series, I’ll put the Beelink mini PC through its paces from a Linux perspective, comparing it with other systems to see how it performs in real-world Linux use. The Beelink EQi Core 3 304 is a recent addition to Beelink’s EQ range of compact PCs. It’s built around Intel’s Wildcat Lake Core 3 304 processor, a 5-core, 5-thread chip comprising one performance core and four low-power efficiency cores. The processor integrates Xe3-LPG graphics and currently has a CPU Mark of 11,720. The review unit comes with 16GB of LPDDR5 6400MT/s memory and 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage, giving the system a capable hardware base for everyday desktop use, office work, media playback and lighter Linux workloads. The machine is currently listed at $509, equivalent to around £380 at current exchange rates. That makes it considerably more expensive than many entry-level mini PCs, although the specification includes dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, 10GbE and 2.5GbE networking, and a built-in 85W power supply. * ⚓ Hwaro_-_lightweight_and_fast_static_site_generator⠀⇛ Hwaro is a lightweight and fast static site generator written in Crystal.

Whether that’s presenting at a local meetup or bringing FreeBSD into a classroom, community advocacy is one of the most effective ways we grow the project. * § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ o ⚓ FreeBSD_16_Cleans_House:_No_GPL_Left_in_the_Base_System⠀⇛ The removal of GPL code from FreeBSD 16’s base system isn’t just housekeeping — it reflects a BSD vision of “software freedom” that differs from FSF, Gnu, and Linux. o ⚓ FreeBSD_16_Retires_The_Last_Of_Its_GPL_Code_From_Its_Base System⠀⇛ The dialog implementation was the last piece of GNU GPL licensed software in FreeBSD's base system.

If your reaction is “Draw-what now?”, I can’t really blame you - Drawbridge is easily the most obscure project in the nREPL stable, and it has spent most of its life in a state best described as “technically maintained”. I’ve set out to change that recently, and this post is both a release announcement and the story of a 14-year-old project that never quite lived up to its potential. Hopefully, until now. * ⚓ Bozhidar Batsov ☛ CIDER_2.0:_Sky_is_the_Limit_|_Meta_Redux⠀⇛ Two weeks ago I wrote that CIDER 2.0 was brewing. Today the brew is ready - CIDER 2.0 (“Terceira”) is officially out! I promised the release would follow the preview within a week or two if nothing serious surfaced, and for once in my life I’m actually on schedule. The preview post covered the big themes in detail - the transient menus, the call-graph browsers, cider-macrostep, the revamped tracing and enlighten, the ClojureScript improvements - so I won’t rehash all of that here. Instead I’ll focus on what changed between the preview and the release, and on the bigger picture of what CIDER 2.0 is actually about. * ⚓ Codeberg ☛ aol/trusty-boot-key:_Set_up_a_flash_drive_to_"multi-boot"_OS images_from_a_menu.⠀⇛ We were quite impressed with the ease of use of Ventoy, but dismayed by its security posture, especially in light of the not-so recent xz backdoor fiasco. No bad news as of yet, but its hard to imagine a better way to install low-level malware across the globe. :-/ While looking around for a "Safe-Toy" alternative, we found a number of projects attempting to bring comparable ease of use to a GRUB multi-boot system on a similar removable drive. * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ Igor Roztropiński ☛ The_Order_of_Data:_defaults,_performance, determinism_&_paging⠀⇛ How does the database decide on the order, when it is not specified?

As mainstream computers hog more and more resources, meaningful computation remains essential at the scale of kilobytes, kilohertz, and nanowatts. This workshop is all about countering the fad of infinite growth, it's about putting processing power back in individuals' hands, and it's about contributing to a more reasonable and sustainable future. How far can today's modest resources really go? Let's find out. * § Digital Sovereignty⠀➾ o ⚓ Europe_Wants_to_Break_Free_From_American_and_Chinese_Technology. But_How?⠀⇛ France and Germany want to quit relying on America and China for key technology like artificial intelligence, but they’re having to choose where to do it. o ⚓ RIPE ☛ Many_Sovereignties,_One_Internet⠀⇛ Digital sovereignty is used to describe many different policy goals: building local capacity, reducing dependency, strengthening public digital infrastructure, supporting regional development, governing data flows, exercising strategic leverage, or increasing control over digital systems. These approaches are not equivalent. Some can strengthen the Internet commons while others can weaken it. What matters is the kind of sovereignty being pursued, the instruments used and their effect on the global Internet commons. * § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ o § Open Data⠀➾ # ⚓ Max Glenister ☛ What's_the_most_popular_number_in_Hacker News_titles?⠀⇛ Two consecutive titles on the HN front page yesterday had a 6 in them.

But to move it forward, we needed to get rid of the emulation bottleneck. Some months ago, we pre-ordered a Milk-V Jupiter 2 which has finally arrived. Previous experiences with early-bird ARM hardware have not been great. Lack of support in the Linux kernel, stability issues and a small community have resulted in lots of products being shelved. With RISC-V and Jupiter 2 it seems to be the exact opposite. We chose from a couple of distributions, used a custom kernel from SpacemiT, and had the whole thing set up very quickly.

For our users, the massive size of snapshot 0703 likely came as a surprise. However, the sheer size didn’t actually reflect a massive number of source changes. Instead, it was the result of reconfiguring Tumbleweed to stop building Python 3.11 modules. This shift required us to hand control of the rebuild strategy over to OBS (similar to how we handle full rebuilds for new compilers) and rely on build-compare to filter out unchanged packages. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Tomasz_Torcz:_HDR_Kodi_available_for_Fedora⠀⇛ RPM Fusion shipped Kodi 22-beta1 for Fedora 44.

Thanks to reworked frame generation algorithms, the secondary GPU is now utilized at 100% instead of the previous 50%. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1798 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/16/Half_of_Red_Hat_s_Latest_Official_Pages_Are_Promotion_of_Slop_P.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/16/Half_of_Red_Hat_s_Latest_Official_Pages_Are_Promotion_of_Slop_P.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Half of Red Hat's Latest Official Pages Are Promotion of Slop Plagiarism (IBM's Agenda)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 16, 2026, updated Jul 16, 2026 * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Run_Claude_Code_locally_with_vLLM_and_OpenShift_AI⠀⇛ These days, most developers are using some kind of Hey Hi (AI) coding assistant, whether that's Claude Code, Codex, or one of the many open source agents out there (84% are using or plan to use Hey Hi (AI) tools, according to the latest_Stack_Overflow Developer_Survey). But here's the thing: while you might be running the agent on your own machine, you're still using a proprietary, third-party LLM underneath. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Red_Hat_build_of_Agent_Sandbox:_Isolated_workload_management with_Kubernetes⠀⇛ Red Hat build of Agent Sandbox provides developers with a programmable API for running workloads in isolated environments, without requiring knowledge of the underlying sandboxing technology. Developers request a sandbox, and the platform delivers one. Whether Kata Containers (through OpenShift sandboxed containers) or another runtime provides the underlying isolation, the platform administrator makes that choice, not the developer. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Two-node_OpenShift_with_fencing_improves_reliability at_the_edge⠀⇛ However, achieving high availability traditionally requires a three-node cluster to establish a reliable quorum. The primary factor driving organizations toward alternative topologies for large-scale edge deployments is the prohibitive cost of powering, maintaining, and deploying a third node across hundreds or thousands of sites—a motivation that has only grown stronger in light of the recent steep increase in hardware prices.  * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Physical_AI:_Physical_operations_are_broken,_a_new kind_of_intelligence_is_needed [Ed: Slop all day long from IBM Red Hat, a floundering_company]⠀⇛ These are structural problems, and incremental improvements within the current model aren't going to fix them. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Moving_from_PoC_to_production:_Delivering_real business_value_with_Red_Hat_AI_3.4 [Ed: Red Hat infatuated with slop because IBM is desperate to fake novelty]⠀⇛ For organizations currently struggling to push AI past the proof-of-concept (PoC) stage and into fully operational, revenue-driving production environments, this update addresses those exact challenges. A recently commissioned Forrester Consulting Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study highlighted that Red Hat AI delivered an impressive 233% ROI by drastically driving up operational efficiency and lowering development barriers. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Demystifying_agentic_AI:_How_to_build_production- ready_AIOps_with_open_source_models [Ed: IBM Red Hat is promoting slop, a pyramid scheme]⠀⇛ Smallest, fastest, limited reasoning ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1888 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/16/I_removed_GNOME_and_my_laptop_battery_lasted_40_minutes_longer_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/16/I_removed_GNOME_and_my_laptop_battery_lasted_40_minutes_longer_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ I removed GNOME and my laptop battery lasted 40 minutes longer — this is what I replaced it with⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jul 16, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇cachyOS⦈_ Quoting: I removed GNOME and my laptop battery lasted 40 minutes longer — this is what I replaced it with — Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents: There’s a common misconception that battery life on Linux is far superior to that of Windows, which is plain untrue. The truth is, Linux installs can often get just as bloated over time, and this drastically affects battery life, just as it would on Windows. To test this out, I ran a simple battery drain test across two popular desktop environments, using GNOME as a reference — in two separate installs: one “bloated” with extensions and another with barely anything on it. The results were eye-opening, to say the least.

It's been two years. And now that there's a new LTS available, I kind of feel rather hesitant. I wonder if the kernel will cooperate nicely with the Nvidia drivers, the whole X11-Wayland thingie, and of course, there might be possible upgrade issues. There's a distinct possibility that the experiment might not work, and I will need to reinstall the older LTS from scratch. It will be a bit annoying, to be fair, but then, it should work. After all, 'tis a test machine, so why not. It's very nice to see a 2014 laptop still coping nicely with modern challenges. Well, reasonable modern challenges. When you look at forced deprecation of hardware for the sake of, well, whatever, it does make you wonder. Also, I look back at this year as Peak Internet. Back then, we had everything we have today minus the modern cancers of social media, extra surveillance and such. Back then, Ubuntu released their best LTS ever, to this day.

Although the use of colours withing Google's wearOS is also a joy to use. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Clintech_Pico_Board_exposes_all_48_RP2354B_GPIOs_in Pico-compatible_form_factor⠀⇛ The RP2354B combines dual 150MHz Arm Cortex-M33 cores with dual Hazard3 RISC-V cores. Two processing cores can operate at a time, allowing developers to use two Arm cores, two RISC- V cores, or a mixed configuration with one of each. The microcontroller also provides 520KB of SRAM, three programmable I/O blocks with 12 PIO state machines, and 2MB of stacked in- package QSPI flash. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Cut_And_Fold_Your_3D_Printer’s_Next_Cover⠀⇛ He provides a cutout diagram for pieces that, when assembled, make a sort of hat that is just right to cover the top of the Snapmaker U1 without obstructing the extruders. One can even lift the front panel to access the inside without removing the cover, which is a nice touch. Should one wish to add a viewing window anywhere, just cut out a square and tape a sheet of clear plastic over the hole. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Putting_Some_Zig_In_A_Linux-Based_3D_Printer⠀⇛ Having Linux on so many devices is both a blessing and a curse. Sure, it is great that you can hack on things and modify them or even totally repurpose them. But it also means you have a fleet of Linux devices you have to manage and keep track of. My current “main” 3D printer is a Flashforge AD5X: a nice, cheap machine that does four colors with the purge/exchange method. It sort of runs Klipper. I say sort of because Flashforge has Klipper running on a Linux host in the box, but it is massively crippled and modified. I’m sure it works for most folks. I’m also sure that if you know nothing about Linux, Klipper, or 3D printing, the experience is probably better thanks to all the cloud point-and-click interfaces. But, of course, I check none of those boxes. * ⚓ Adafruit ☛ From_Linux_to_NuttX_on_the_Adafruit_Fruit_Jam⠀⇛ I’ve been chasing a real OS for Fruit Jam. Started by forking Mr-Bossman’s Linux port — Fruit Jam’s a great target with its HDMI, USB, NeoPixels, speaker, buttons, IR receiver, and generous PSRAM/Flash. Got a lot of hardware working, plus HTTP, FTP, and Telnet servers, but Linux is a heavy lift for a microcontroller. The more I packed in, the more it crashed. The ESP32 NINA-W102 WiFi firmware didn’t help either — great for CircuitPython/Arduino, but no raw-frame access meant slow sockets and broken network tooling. Swapping in Espressif’s ESP-Hosted-MCU fixed that. * § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ o ⚓ Troy Hunt ☛ Troy_Hunt:_Weekly_Update_512:_IoT_Lockout_Fail⠀⇛ "Build a smart home", they said. "It'll make life so much better", they said. Well, life wasn't very bloody good at 23:00 the other night after travelling 33 hours from Paris only to find the IoT doorlock batteries dead and the 9V "jump start" procedure completely failing! Eventually, the locksmith arrived and opened an old- school physical lock on another door in an alarmingly short time. So, lessons: 1. Battery-powered locks suck and will eventually lock you out of your house 2. Don't trust a fallback mechanism as rudimentary as "hold a 9V battery on some terminals" 3. Always have an old school manual backup approach, AKA "a key" ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2377 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/16/Operating_Systems_A_Look_Back_at_Plan_9_Modernizing_Haiku_s_Blu.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/16/Operating_Systems_A_Look_Back_at_Plan_9_Modernizing_Haiku_s_Blu.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Operating Systems: A Look Back at Plan 9, Modernizing Haiku’s Bluetooth Handling⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 16, 2026 * ⚓ [Old] Johanna-Mathilda Langenhan ☛ One_week_of_using_Plan_9⠀⇛ I first heard about Plan 9 on sdf.org, the Public Access UNIX system I've been a basic member of for a few years (which runs on BSD, incidentally).

Now in my 40s, I could not play too well for several_years already (my claim to fame is being the goalkeeper for the Computer Science Department), but goalkeepers rely a lot less on stamina, so it's a lot about experience and technical skills (e.g. how to handle one-on-one situations). That's why many goalkeepers still play in the "Big Leagues" well into their 40s. I myself was a goalkeeper for many years (since before_I_was_10) and the first goal of Argentina leaves me a bit sour, as Pickford could have (or should have) blocked it. He was positioned poorly; I saw David_de_Gea making that same mistake several times. Yes, Pickford could not reach the ball, but had he chosen to stand near the centre (between the goalposts), then the match would possibly end very differently, as England just needed another 10 minutes of "bunker mode" (plus stoppage time). Maybe in 2030 England will bring home an international trophy. Let's hope.

And it’s a love letter to insta, Armin Ronacher’s snapshot testing library for Rust, whose interactive review workflow this gem brings to Ruby. * ⚓ Ray Myers ☛ C++_Gets_Worse_Every_Year⠀⇛ If you ever get your project to build, you may someday want others to see it. This too is simple! Just hastily scrawl some notes about how it you got it working on your machine. You can rest assured that if anyone else fails to get it working, it is Their Fault (tm). Skill Issue. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ DOOM_Runs_(slowly)_In_A_IBM_PC-Compatible_CSS_Sheet⠀⇛ CSS is not a very good programming language. It’s got functions and if statements nowadays, but it doesn’t really do programs in the usual sense. That is, lists of instructions that feed one into another. You can’t change a variable without jumping through hoops. The sort of static behavior you get from a CSS sheet actually matches hardware architecture better than software, which was the key insight [Ahmed] had to make the project possible. It’s still not easy, or elegant, or perhaps even sane, as you can find out from the excellent write-up he has describing how he pulled this off. We particularly like the interactive guide to the full mountain of madness that is the .css file. * ⚓ Kyle Reddoch ☛ Secrets_Management_101_for_Side_Projects⠀⇛ A working secrets-management baseline for side projects: keep credentials out of Git, scope production access, scan before pushing, and respond correctly when a key leaks. * ⚓ Sebastian ☛ i've_been_thinking_about_null_pointers⠀⇛ which leads to the other weird thing about null. the idea of pointer types in most languages is that a pointer could have any value, except for one, that being the null pointer. but anything else goes. in C in particular, the null pointer is pretty much specified as its own thing with completely different semantics than any other pointer. * ⚓ [Old] Andre Van Der Merwe ☛ Simple_Hindley-Milner_in_Practice⠀⇛ In this post, you’ll learn how to build a lightweight Hindley–Milner type checker in Haskell. No advanced theory is required. We’ll apply it to a tiny, LISP-inspired language so you can focus on how inference works. Hindley-Milner inference may seem intimidating, but I believe that it is much more approachable than it first appears. Each concept is quite understandable. It is just a matter of working through them and building up to the full picture. Hopefully, you’ll find this post useful if you want to implement a type system of your own, or if you wish to understand how Hindley-Milner works. * ⚓ [Old] City St George's, University of London ☛ City_Research_Online_- Misconceptions_about_Loops_in_C⠀⇛ Loop analysis is a key component of static analysis tools. Unfortunately, there are several rare edge cases. As a tool moves from academic prototype to production-ready, obscure cases can and do occur. This results in loop analysis being a key source of late-discovered but significant algorithmic bugs. To avoid these, this paper presents a collection of examples and "folklore"challenges in loop analysis. * ⚓ Lzon ☛ How_C++20_improved_the_for-loop_syntax⠀⇛ Here’s a small piece of syntactic sugar from C++20. Let’s say I wanted to print out the following: [...] * ⚓ Varun Gandhi ☛ Job_queues_are_deceptively_tricky⠀⇛ One of the fun things about being a programmer is that as I look more into systems that I didn’t know much about, what superficially appears to be a simple system actually reveals interesting facets of underlying complexity. In other words, reality has a surprising amount of detail. In this post, I want to talk about job queues, which I’ve been thinking about for the past few days (and while drafting this post in my head, I realized I’d thought about them for longer at a previous job, but not nearly with as much clarity.) * ⚓ Trần Thành Long ☛ C_Strings:_A_50-Year_Mistake⠀⇛ One design choice in C that now feels outdated—and arguably one of its biggest mistakes—is the use of null-terminated strings. Treating strings as pointers to character “streams” and relying on a terminating NULL character may have made more sense in the 1970s due to the memory and performance constraints of the time, but nowadays there’s basically no reason to keep using it. The correct modern choice adopted by most newer languages and popular frameworks is length-based strings—basically, a struct with a pointer and a size. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Perl ☛ Three_ways_to_write_a_table_in_Podlite⠀⇛ In my previous article I introduced Podlite as a block- based markup language. Today I’ll zoom into one piece: tables. I write tables in three rough shapes: a few rows of words I’m jotting down, a visual grid like a tic-tac-toe board, or a data export I want to embed in a document. Podlite has three syntaxes around the same model, one per shape. The first has several flavors, so let’s start with that. * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Eruption:_announcing_new_R_package_VolcanoPlotR⠀⇛ Using proteomics, we often want to compare two experimental groups. A popular way to visualise this comparison this is via a volcano plot, where the enrichment of proteins in one condition is towards the right and their de-enrichment (or their enrichment in the other group) is towards the left. The y-axis denotes the p-value of the comparison. Years ago, I wrote an IGOR package called VolcanoPlot, that we have used in our work. For various reasons (see below), I have now ported the package to R. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2728 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/16/Proprietary_Linux_or_Non_free_Proprietary_Things_on_GNU_Linux.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/16/Proprietary_Linux_or_Non_free_Proprietary_Things_on_GNU_Linux.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Proprietary Linux or Non-free (Proprietary) Things on GNU/Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 16, 2026 * § Kernel Space⠀➾ o ⚓ Amazon Inc ☛ Introducing_modularized_kernel_cryptography_in Amazon_Linux_|_AWS_Compute_Blog⠀⇛ We are introducing modularized kernel cryptography in Amazon Linux 2023, an approach that separates Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140- 3 cryptographic components into an independent kernel module that can be certified once and reused across subsequent kernel versions.

It’s unofficial and totally unsupported, but a set of patches for the free Wine compatibility environment lets you run Ableton Live 12, Max for Live, and Push 2 and Push 3 on Linux. And the result is just about indistinguishable from native support. First, let’s talk Wine, for those not in the know. Wine is a mature environment for running software built for Windows as if it were native on Linux — literally, the acronym was originally Wine Is Not an Emulator. And since it’s not an emulator, once it’s working, software works as if it were written for the OS. Patched variations of Wine are already widely deployed in gaming. It’s a wonder that music tech hasn’t embraced the idea, too — especially since gaming has proven that customers will gladly pay for the experience. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2792 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/16/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/16/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 16, 2026 * ⚓ Security Week ☛ ICS_Patch_Tuesday:_Vulnerabilities_Fixed_by_Siemens, Schneider,_Rockwell⠀⇛ The industrial giants fixed dozens of vulnerabilities across their ICS products, with advisories also released by CISA and VDE CERT. * ⚓ XSAs_released_on_2026-07-14⠀⇛ The Xen_Project has released one or more Xen_security advisories_(XSAs). * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Wednesday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (cifs-utils, corosync, cups, freerdp, git-lfs, go-fdo-client and go-fdo- server, go-toolset:rhel8, kernel, kernel-rt, libinput, libxml2, nginx:1.24, openssl, pacemaker, perl-DBI:1.641, php8.4, python- pillow, python3, and python3.12), Debian (grub2, libxfont, opam, and wolfssl), Fedora (freerdp, kernel, and prometheus), Mageia (imagemagick), Oracle (buildah, freerdp, gimp, kernel, nginx, openexr, openssl, perl-DBI, podman, vim, xorg-x11- server, and xorg-x11-server-Xwayland), Red Hat (python3.12), SUSE (afterburn, buildah, busybox, enc, freetype2-devel, go1.25, go1.25-openssl, go1.26-openssl, gosec, grafana, helm, krb5, kubernetes-old, libopenbabel8, libxml2, libxml2-16, nasm, openssl-3, patch, python-Authlib, python-mistune, python- soupsieve, python-sqlparse, python3-dulwich, python313-Pillow, rootlesskit, sbootutil-1, tomcat, and tomcat11), and Ubuntu (alsa-lib, dnsmasq, gnutls28, libheif, linux-aws, linux-fips, linux-lts-xenial, linux-gcp-5.15, linux-intel-iotg-5.15, linux- hwe-6.17, linux-raspi, mariadb, openvpn, python-httplib2, vim, and wget). * ⚓ SELinux_Userspace_Utilities:_Local_Denial-of-Service_Attack_Vectors_in seunshare_in_release_3.10⠀⇛ The seunshare_program is part of the SELinux “sandbox” feature, which is used to confine untrusted programs using Linux mount namespaces and restrictive SELinux policies.

countries. It's hard to tell why so many people there move to GNU/Linux but understandable that not many people purchase a new PC with Windows preloaded. █

desktop Linux back — There's a famous quote that Jamie Zawinski that goes "...Linux is only free if your time has no value, and I find that my time is better spent doing things other than the endless moving-target- upgrade dance." This was in response to the hours spent keeping Linux afloat, up to date, and configured, but this being the late '90s things were, of course, quite rough in penguin land. Today, Linux distros are far better, and you're much less likely to run into similar issues. Yet, while the Linux Tax has been lowered, it's not gone.

It’s basically the Steam Deck experience scaled for a larger screen, but it’s commonly associated with Valve’s OS. If you want the same interface on a regular Arch-based desktop, the arch-deckify script can add a SteamOS‑like gaming session (Gamescope + Steam) on top of your existing install, though there are a few caveats and tips to get a seamless, console-like experience.

They would contact several webhosts, usually in tandem, and try to shut us down without due process. It didn't work. It never worked. These people had to be banned because in 2023 some of them began doing illegal things. They moreover communicated and coordinated with one another. We have hard evidence. In a sense we are proud_when_people_so_bad_find_us_worthy_of_abuse. The envy or resentment is motivated by their masters (3 of them are connected to Microsoft), so apparently we are really troubling their masters. █ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⠿⠻⡿⠟⡿⠛⢿⡟⠛⡟⠛⠋⠉⢹⠁⠩⠟⢿⣛⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡿⣿⡿⡿⠿⡿⠻⢿⡿⠻⢻⣿⣿⠙⠛⢿⠋⠉⣿⡏⠉⠘⣿⡟⠈⢀⣤⡭⢻⠀⠘⠀⠀⡇⠀⡇⠰⠙⡁⠀⢧⣄⡀⠀⣿⠴⠈⠀⢻⣯⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣮⣝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣃⡀⠀⣀⡅⠀⠀⠀⣿⣦⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠂⠀⠀⣿⠁⠀⠀⠹⡆⠀⣴⠌⠁⢨⠀⠀⡄⠀⡇⠀⢇⠀⢰⣄⠴⡎⠉⠈⠉⣸⣦⣀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠴⣿⣁⡀⠆⠀⣿⠋⠀⣀⠉⠿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣣⡄⠀⣘⣀⣠⣄⣂⣿⣧⣤⣤⣴⣿⣧⣴⣷⣶⣷⣶⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣍⠉⠛⣿⡿⠛⢋⣭⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣼⣿⣧⣤⣾⣷⣶⣾⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡰⠊⠁⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠉⢛⠍⠉⣁⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠁⠄⡀⠃⣀⣬⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠠⠤⠂⠀⣡⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠋⠁⠀⡆⣀⠃⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡷⠃⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⡉⣀⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣤⣀⢈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣴⣠⣤⣤⣤⣾⣿⡕⠀⣠⣴⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⡿⢯⣁⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠉⠋⢿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢋⡔⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠠⠾⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠭⠶⠿⠧⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣾⣻⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠻⣛⣻⣍⢻⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣟⣿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠋⠯⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡍⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡛⠛⠛⠋⣉⣉⠍⠋⠁⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣾⣛⠏⠩⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠁⠈⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠒⠰⠶⣤⣄⣤⣔⣲⣯⣽⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣳⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣻⠛⣻⣛⡋⣋⣛⣛⣟⡻⣛⠻⠿⠿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠚⠚⠒⠓⠒⠚⠛⣛⣛⠛⠶⡤⠨⠘⠛⠋⠉⣉⡉⡙⣫⣝⣽⣿⣻⣿⢿⡿⣭⢽⠻⢿⠷⠿⠿⢯⠽⠿⠭⠿⡿⢟⣛⡟⢋⠈⠬⡭⠯⠞⣿⠛⡿⢿⠿ ⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⠔⠂⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠶⠆⠙⠛⡛⠏⠛⠋⠋⠋⢒⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⡀⡀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠈⠀⠀⠀⠈⠈⠁ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡠⡪⠋⠁⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠃⢲⠄⢀⢠⡈⠱⢿⢿⡡⡖⢄⠠⠄⠖⠀⡁⠠⠤⠠⠰⠀⠉⠁ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡴⣹⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠽⢧⣠⠀⠂⠀⠈⣘⠮⠨⠤⠤⠆⠠⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⡠⠄⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣜⢦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠡⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠂⠐⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠉ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠳⡙⣆⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⢈⠡⣀⡀⡀⠂⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠂⠁⡀⠀⠀⠅⠂⠀⠀⠁⠀⠄⠄ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢮⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠊⠀⠈⠀⠘⠀⠀⢄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢀⠀⠐⢀⠈⠀⠠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠳⣜⢷⣄⠀⠀⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡠⠤⠄⠱⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠔⠋⣛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠄⠊ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢧⡙⢦⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠂⠁⢥⡀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠛⠠⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢦⡙⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠦⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠁⠐⠃⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢌⠻⣷⣄⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠰⣄⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⡀⠀⠄⠅ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢮⡛⢷⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠳⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢀⠠⠀⠀⢀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3331 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/16/Today_in_Techrights.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/16/Today_in_Techrights.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Today in Techrights⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 16, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Australian_bushland_scene_showing_a_native_eucalyptus_gum tree_with_its_pale_bark_and_sparse_foliage_against_a_stormy_sky_in_Sydney⦈_ ⚓ Updated This Past Day⠀⇛ 1. ⚓ Get_Ready_for_Increase_in_PIPs_and_RAs_at_IBM,_Red_Hat,_and_Other Companies_Devoured_by_IBM⠀⇛ IBM's "market cap" has just fallen to 199 billion dollars and it has about 70 billion dollars in debt 2. ⚓ Like_Kyndryl,_Multiple_Securities_Fraud_Investigations_Into_IBM⠀⇛ Remember what happened to Kyndryl 3. ⚓ Who_Next_After_IBM?_(Bubbles_Don't_Last_Forever)⠀⇛ the demise of companies with "ai" in their name/domain 4. ⚓ GNU/Linux_Estimated_at_8%_"Market_Share"_Today_(in_statCounter)⠀⇛ Days ago it said 7.1%, then 7.3% or 7.4% ⚓ New⠀⇛ 5. ⚓ IBM_Down_to_$211.20,_the_Market_in_General_is_Up⠀⇛ No recovery for IBM today 6. ⚓ UEFI_'Secure_Boot'_Still_Not_Secure_in_2026,_New_Holes_(or_Bypasses) Still_Being_Found⠀⇛ In 2026 there are still many people who call it "secure" and pretend to themselves that it is about security.

ESET Researchers have uncovered 11 vulnerable UEFI shim bootloaders signed and forgotten by Microsoft for a decade. The nature of these shims allows them to be flashed on any PC with Microsoft's third- party UEFI certificate installed, which then opens the PC to rootkits and other forms of hard-to-remove malware. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Many_old_shim_versions_are_still_accepted_by_secure_boot⠀⇛ The CMU CERT Coordination Center has put out an advisory that many exploitable versions of the shim binary, used to boot Linux on systems with UEFI secure boot enabled, were never added to the revocation list. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3864 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/16/Web_Browsers_Web_Servers_Feed_Readers_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/16/Web_Browsers_Web_Servers_Feed_Readers_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Web Browsers/Web Servers/Feed Readers Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 16, 2026 * ⚓ Dan Q ☛ How_I_(Don’t)_Collect_Blog_Statistics_–_Dan_Q⠀⇛ Let me take you on a journey through the different kinds of analytics tools I’ve used: [...] * ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Over_the_Edge_2.0:_Microsoft’s_Design_Tactics_Still_Undermine Browser_Choice_-_Mozilla_Research⠀⇛ The new report, Over The Edge 2.0: Do Microsoft’s Design Tactics Still Compromise Free Browser Choice?, examines key browser-choice journeys across Windows 10 and Windows 11. And, this time, it compares the user experience across four regions: the United States, the United Kingdom, India, and Germany (as a representative country within the European Economic Area). The researchers find that Microsoft continues to deploy a range of harmful patterns — Trick Wording, Obstruction, Visual Interference, Preselection, Nagging, and Forced Action — at almost every step of the user journey. As a result, the researchers conclude that Microsoft does not allow people to download and install an alternative browser, to set it as their default, or to continue using it as their default, without harmful interference. These conclusions hold across every region tested. * § Mozilla⠀➾ o ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Firefox_will_update_twice_as_often_from_September⠀⇛ Mozilla is changing Firefox’s release schedule from September, with new stable versions planned every two weeks instead of once a month.

However, a new comparison by Meta PCs shows that while the open-source operating system can outperform Windows in some productivity workloads, Windows 11 still holds the lead in gaming performance and compatibility. Read_On! More on this: * ⚓ Windows_11_vs_Linux_Gaming_Test_Reveals_There's_More_to_It_Than_FPS⠀⇛ It seems as though the launch of Valve's Steam Deck has resulted in an almost non-stop slew of comparisons between Linux and Windows as a gaming operating system. In one recent test, Meta PCs sought out to test the two operating systems head-to-head to get some hard numbers and potentially settle the debate, however, the results brought up an interesting debate about what makes one operating system better than another. Benchmarks were conducted on an all-AMD system running an AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D, an XFX Swift AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB, and 16 GB of RAM, with the AMD Linux drivers effectively making this a best-case scenario for Linux. The benchmarks were run on the latest version of Windows 11 and Fedora Linux 44, games were tested at the same resolution, and results were an average across three runs. All games tested were also the Windows versions running via Valve's Proton compatibility layer. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3998 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/16/WordPress_7_1_Beta_is_Out_But_WordPress_Has_Become_Slop_ware.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/16/WordPress_7_1_Beta_is_Out_But_WordPress_Has_Become_Slop_ware.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ WordPress 7.1 Beta is Out, But WordPress Has Become Slop-ware⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 16, 2026 * ⚓ WordPress ☛ WordPress_7.1_Beta_1⠀⇛ WordPress 7.1 Beta 1 is ready for download and testing!  This beta release is intended for testing and development only.
