spent a long time looking for equipment for the snail/shell tank - in essence finding out what is available at a good price point (preowned but still reliable). It was a failure, however, as they were selling everything as large sets, not standalone pieces. Some items were overused, both heaters and filters. Winter is coming in a few months (we're just 6 days away from August) and these creatures are accustomed to tropical conditions. Electric items (appliances) have gotten_a_lot_more_expensive and less_reliable. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Sand_and_shells ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡁⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠆⠀⠀⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠉⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣄⣤⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⣽⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣽⣿⣿⡟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠈⢁⣝⣯⣝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⣀⣿⣿⣋⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠻⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣷⣾⣾ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⠿⠟⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠙⠋⢙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠐⡀⠀⠀⢠⠀⢰⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠧⣝⣿⠿⠿⠋⢿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⢀⠂⢴⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠄⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣴⣤⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣬⣴⣾⣯⣿⣿⠛⠛⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢛⠻⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⡿⠋⠉⠁⠈⠉⠛⢦⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⠿⠟⠿⠟⠟⠟⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡙⠋⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⡿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠺⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣦⣟⡛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡿⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣻⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣶⠄⠈⠁⠀⢀⠂⣤⣽⣾⡷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⡯⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠋⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡐⣚⠛⠁⠁⠀⢀⣤⣼⣿⣿⠿⠑⠀⣸⣷⡶⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠁⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣈⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣾⣿⣿⣿⠏⠈⠀⠰⢿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⣶⣶⣂⣤⣤⣀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣥⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⡗⠢⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣶⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⣀⣺⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⠷ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⠻⢳⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⡘⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡿⣿⠻⠂⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣷⠉ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡿⢥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡻⣿⡿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⣾⡶⠄⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡪⠇⠲⠓⠈⠀⢀⣴⣶⣿⣻⣷⣾⣿⢻⣾⡥⠆⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣭⡔⡂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡯⠓⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣯⡉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠴⠇⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⢿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⢻⣿⣿⣟⣠⣶⣦⣴⣤⣠⣆⣀⣀⣀⠂⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡖⠢⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠾⣾⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣄⢀⣀⣴⣤⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⣾⣿⣿⣿⠋⠃⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 229 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/26/CachyOS_rebuilds_every_package_the_wrong_way_and_my_Steam_libra.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/26/CachyOS_rebuilds_every_package_the_wrong_way_and_my_Steam_libra.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ CachyOS rebuilds every package the 'wrong' way, and my Steam library runs faster for it⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jul 26, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇AMD_Ryzen⦈_ Quoting: CachyOS rebuilds every package the 'wrong' way, and my Steam library runs faster for it — Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents: There's a set of unwritten rules that every Linux distribution follows, and I never thought about them until I found the one distro that doesn't. Compile for the oldest CPU anyone might own. Ship the mainline kernel. Use Valve's Proton, because Valve knows best. I've been running CachyOS on my ROG Ally X and my laptop for a while now, and it breaks every single one of those rules on purpose. It even skipped the Open Gaming Collective, the industry's big attempt at standardizing how Linux gaming distros are built.

When attempting to launch the beta through Proton, the game instead displays the following message: “No anti-cheat module has been found for this game and platform.” ⠁⢀⣀⠠⣤⢀⡇⠀⢠⣤⠠⣤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⢶⡆⠠⣦⣶⣴⠤⣤⠀⢰⡄⣤⡤⣤⣤⢠⣤⣄⣤⣤⢠⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⣤⣤⣄⣄⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣶⣿⣿⣆⣈⢸⠇⠀⢠⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣬⣤⣤⣭⣭⣭⣄⣉⣉⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢻⣿⡏⠛⠿⣾⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡆⢻⣓⣤⠄⡟⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠂ ⠁⠈⠛⠿⠀⡇⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⢻⣭⣯⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠙⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣄⡀⠀⠠⢰⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠉⠉⠉⢻⡏⠈⠁⠀⠀⢀⣠⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠿⢿⣷⣶⢸⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⠀⠀⢸⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⣾⣽⣭⣿⣿⣿⣯⣯⣿⡽⣭⣯⣭⣯⣍⡽⣿⡟⠀⢀⣠⡶⠟⠀⠈⠙⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢲⣄⠉⠃⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠶⠛⢃⣤⣤⣬⣭⣥⣄⣨⣽⣿⣭⣍⠉⣭⣭⡝⠙⣿⣥⡽⢙⣼⣽⣿⣕⡋⢠⣴⣯⡁⢠⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀ ⣾⣿⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠄⢀⣠⠘⠛⣿⣿⣿⢛⣿⣿⡿⠛⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣇⣾⣿⡟⢱⣿⣿⠟⢻⣿⣷⣸⣿⣿⣷⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣩⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠚⠉⢴⣤⣦⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣧⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣼⣿⣿⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀ ⠉⠀⢀⢰⠇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⡦⠤⠤⠆⣿⣿⡇⠈⣿⣿⣧⣤⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⡟⢹⣿⣿⡹⣿⣿⣮⣼⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⠙⣿⣿⣿⠉⠀⠠⢾⣿⣿⣿⡇⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢧ ⣶⣿⣿⢸⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣇⠀⣘⣃⣛⣛⣃⣀⣈⣛⣻⣿⣛⣋⣀⣛⣛⣃⣀⣛⣛⣛⣙⣛⣿⣿⣛⣃⣘⣛⣟⣀⣙⣿⣿⢺⠇⠀⢀⣤⣾⣿⣇⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈ ⣿⣿⡏⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠂⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⢀⠔⠁⠀⠉⠻⣏⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⡇⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⠟⠛⠋⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠇⣀⣤⣦⣤⣀⣠⡟⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣦ ⣿⣿⣧⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣧⣀⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣷⣝⣦⡀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿⠟⠋⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⠀⠀⠈⠒⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⣻⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⢹⡇⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⠀⢀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⢸⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⡡⠟⠀⠀⠈⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣀⣀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣛⣥⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣠⣤⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡿⢸⠀⠀⢸⣿⣧⢣⣤⣶⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡇⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣧⣭⣤⣤⣾⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡇⣿⠀⠀⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⠇⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⢰⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 414 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/26/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/26/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jul 26, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇process_manager⦈_ * ⚓ PM2_-_production_process_manager⠀⇛ PM2 is a production process manager designed primarily for Node.js and Bun applications.

Due to how it's made, we can make traceroute tools show (almost) arbitrary poems. This blog post gives you an idea how. * ⚓ Bozhidar Batsov ☛ Modernizing_CIDER’s_Completion⠀⇛ CIDER’s code completion has quietly gotten quite good over the years, and I don’t think it gets enough credit. It’s all built on Emacs’s standard completion-at-point, so it works with whatever completion UI you prefer - the built-in one, Corfu, company - without any special setup. Under the hood compliment does the heavy lifting for Clojure (and clj-suitable for ClojureScript), which means smart, backend-driven matching: mai completes to map-indexed, cji to clojure.java.io, and an unimported BiFun to java.util.function.BiFunction. The candidates come back ranked by the backend and are context- aware - it knows when you’re inside a -> or completing a deftype field. * ⚓ Dr Chung-hong Chan ☛ Emacs_Writing_Machine⠀⇛ I like writing. Really. However, I have problem finishing my drafts. As you might be able to read in my OKRs, I mentioned multiple times that I have quite a lot of blog drafts that I haven’t completed. I don’t want to blame anyone and it’s completely my fault: I have problem focusing on a task. I have an attention problem. In the past, I could blame things like Twitter for distracting me from getting shit done. But now, I don’t use any of these social media services anymore. I am running out of excuses. * § Web Browsers/Web Servers/Feed Readers⠀➾ o ⚓ Undeadly ☛ httpd(8)_gains_support_for_custom_HTTP_headers⠀⇛ In a change likely to be widely welcomed, Rafael Sadowski (rsadowski@) committed support for custom HTTP headers in httpd(8). This obviates the need to use FastCGI support or relayd(8) to achieve things like adding SSL/TLS security headers. o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ An_unfortunate_limitation_of_the_Apache server_status_page⠀⇛ As the Apache documentation covers, the server status page offers this information in two forms, a HTML web page that's intended for people and a 'machine readable' version that presents much of the information in plain text in a relatively easy to parse format. The HTML page comes in two versions, a table based version (the default) and a version not using tables (accessed with the no longer documented '?notable' parameter, and I think it may include some extra information in more verbose format but I haven't looked closely). All of this is great, but there's an unfortunate limitation of the server status page, which is that no version of it provides detailed per-request information in an easily processed form. * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ DBOS Inc ☛ Postgres_LISTEN/NOTIFY_Actually_Scales⠀⇛ To understand the problem, we’ll need to examine how Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY actually works. The root cause of the poor performance is that in Postgres, committing a transaction that calls NOTIFY requires taking a global exclusive lock. This lock is taken as the transaction begins to commit, and is not released until the transaction is fully committed and its contents have been flushed to disk with fsync(). This lock is necessary because Postgres guarantees that notifications are sent in transaction commit order. To enforce this, it stores all outgoing notifications in a global internal queue whose order must exactly match the commit order of the transactions sending those notifications. Adding notifications to this queue must be done transactionally as part of the commit. However, Postgres doesn’t assign transactions a commit order until those transactions are done committing, as committing can take a variable amount of time. * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ Leon Mika ☛ Blog_Design_Update⠀⇛ Next was the Archives page. Much of this was styling, such as arranging the categories in a grid, and doing something about how entry was rendered as its own card. I didn’t like how it looked, and I think it had an impact on performance, as the browser would slow to a crawl when I opened it. I restyled it to be one card per month, but in order to achieve this, I had to take the plugin- archive-month code and do some horrific things involving half-opened divs. It’s not glamorous code, but it looks and works much better than it did: [...] * § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ o § Open Data⠀➾ # ⚓ Ben Werdmuller ☛ Can_data_collectives_help_strengthen vulnerable_cultures_in_the_face_of_AI?⠀⇛ It’s interesting to contrast the current moment to the “information wants to be free” era of Web 2.0, twenty or so years ago. Back then, everyone was talking about open APIs and open data. Now, it’s become clearer that communities need to control the terms of their data if they’re going to avoid being strip-mined for somebody else’s profit. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 857 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/26/Games_Valve_GE_Proton_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/26/Games_Valve_GE_Proton_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Valve, GE-Proton, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 26, 2026 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Valve_begin_improving_account_switching_in_the_latest Steam_Beta_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Account switching is still not great on Steam but it seems Valve are aware and have started making some tweaks to make it a smoother experience. I guess they've been reading my notes for the upcoming second part of my initial Steam Machine review. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ GE-Proton_11-3_brings_better_OptiScaler_integration, AMD_FSR4_improvements_and_lots_of_game_fixes_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ GE-Proton 11-3 (and 11-2 just before) is a huge release for the popular compatibility layer for SteamOS / Linux. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Building_A_Fencing_Scoring_Box⠀⇛ The brains of the operation is an Arduino Nano, running the venerable ATmega328P. It’s set up to drive a pair of 8×8 WS2812B addressable LED panels. It’s also hooked up to a pair of fencing socket blocks, which hook up to the lamé (jacket), weapon, and guard of each player for electronically scoring hits. The Arduino is thus programmed to respond to various conditions, lighting the LEDs in turn. For example, the tip of one player’s weapon hitting the other player’s lamé will fire a colored light, allowing the hit to be scored. Meanwhile, a tip hitting the floor will fire a white light, indicating off- target. There’s also a buzzer for sonic indication, as well. Everything is wrapped up in a tidy 3D-printed housing, while power is courtesy of a USB-C charger hooked up to the unit. * ⚓ Juan J Martínez ☛ It_is_the_game,_stupid!⠀⇛ I’m going to try an experiment: let’s get one of those projects that seem to stall, and revisit the idea and focus on the game, independently of how cool the code may be. Because, at the end, what matters is the game, stupid! ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 920 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/26/GNU_Linux_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/26/GNU_Linux_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 26, 2026 * ⚓ CG Channel ☛ World_Machine_‘Dragontail_Peak’_now_runs_on_macOS_and Linux⠀⇛ World Machine Software has begun its ‘Dragontail Peak’ series of releases for World Machine: the latest major version of the terrain-generation software for games and VFX work. The first build, World Machine 4059, introduced ‘true 3D terrain’ – terrain based on Vector Displacement Maps (VDMs) rather than heightfields, making it possible to generate overhangs. * § Kernel Space / File Systems / Virtualization⠀➾ o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Maybe_assigning_TCP_connection_to_Linux traffic_control_'flows'⠀⇛ The good news is that I managed to figure out a syntax that tc would accept. The bad news is that I don't know if it does what I want, because I'm not sure how you see what connections are assigned to what flows. I'll put forward two variations of tc-flow(8) commands. To start with, I'll set the stage. We start with our bandwidth limited class that will have a tc-sfq(8) qdisc below it, straight from the first entry: [...] o ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ EasyClone_copy_user-installed_kernel_modules⠀⇛ EasyClone was discussed somewhere in the forum. Ah, yes, recall, it was in relation to the graphical installer: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=17171 If the person has booted up Easy from a usb-stick, got it all setup nicely, used it for awhile, then decides would like to install to internal drive of the computer, EasyClone is optionally used to copy selectively the setup of the currently-running Easy to the new installation. Like for example, browser configuration, history, bookmarks. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ GNOME_Added_Support_Resizing_/_Moving Screenshot_Selection_via_Keyboard⠀⇛ GNOME, the popular GNU/Linux Desktop, finally added keyboard navigation support for its built-in screenshot UI in the main branch. Meaning if everything goes well, the next Ubuntu 26.10, Fedora 45 Workstation and other GNU/Linux with GNOME 51, will be able to use keyboard arrow keys to move or resize the screenshot selection area. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Packaging_and_enabling_upstream_functional_tests⠀⇛ Back when I was working at Canonical on the Ubuntu phone project, test-driven development was the default and natural way to work. One thing I noticed and genuinely liked was how Ubuntu and Debian ship functional tests alongside many of their packages. Not only build-time unit tests hidden in the CI pipeline, but installable test binaries that you can run against the actual packages on an actual system. They are named *- tests or *-test, and they live in the archive next to the production packages. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Ubuntu_26.10_"Stonking_Stingray":_All_the_New Features_So_Far⠀⇛ As usual, Canonical is using an interim release to test features headed for the next LTS. Her, we keep a track of the features as they are added. Every two years, Canonical puts out a Long Term Support release that gets five years of security updates, which can be stretched further with Ubuntu Pro. In between those LTS releases, Canonical ships an interim version every six months, and each one is supported for nine months. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ [Old] Kuroshi ☛ Moving_Away_From_OPNsense_-_A_Story_of Simplicity⠀⇛ This is a story from the past. A story of excitement, joy, frustration, denial, and acceptance. A story pulled from the depths of my notes archive, a draft left unfinished almost two years ago, discovered through my journey in notetaking. This is a true story, slightly skewed by time. The story ends about two years ago, and begins far before that. It informed my decisions about my thoughts around my homelab, my hobbies, my time, and myself. It is not a deep story, and indeed it is technical in nature, but the conclusions have ripple effects which reached my entire homelab and beyond. The morale of this story resonates deeply with me, and while I have always believed what this story has taught me, it gives a new appreciation to the way I choose to run my home network. This is the story of my experience with OPNSense. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1082 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/26/In_Some_Sense_GNU_Linux_Already_Measured_at_20_in_Sweden.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/26/In_Some_Sense_GNU_Linux_Already_Measured_at_20_in_Sweden.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ In Some Sense, GNU/Linux Already Measured at 20% in Sweden⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 26, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇(Dark-Green)_Sweden._(Light-Green)_The_rest_of_the_European Union_(EU)._(Dark-gray)_The_rest_of_Europe._(Light-gray)_The_surrounding region.⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Desktop_Operating_System_Market_Share_Sweden⦈_ Sweden is a relatively rich country and schools there sometimes use Chromebooks.

desktop, but it's terrifying for new users — Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents: I daily-drive KDE Plasma on CachyOS, and I got here the same way a lot of people did recently: the distro I wanted shipped it by default, and I stopped arguing. Plasma 6 on Wayland is fast, handles hybrid graphics without drama, and looks better out of the box than any Linux desktop I've used, and I've used most of them. Somewhere in the last few years, KDE Plasma quietly became the default answer, from SteamOS's desktop mode to CachyOS on my ROG Ally X to Fedora promoting its KDE edition to equal billing with GNOME.

This is different than the file only containing the back cover, which does not include the buttons or the internal and external frame. This opens up the possibility of self repairing some PinePhone components using 3D printers along with creating custom parts. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Taking_Tri-Camera_True-Color_Infrared_Videos⠀⇛ The system uses three USB webcams, each with its IR cut filter removed and replaced with a different dichroic IR band-pass filter. One filter is centered at 750 nm, one at 850 nm, and one at 940 nm. There is no band overlap; in testing, each camera only detected an infrared flashlight tuned to its own filter wavelength. The original cameras didn’t hold the sensors in a consistent position, so [Project 326] designed new housings. Using three lenses, each with distinct aberrations, introduced some difficulties in alignment. [Project 326] originally intended to use a pair of beam-splitting prisms with only one lens, but this proved too difficult to align using 3D- printed frames. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Add_Sensors_To_Everything!⠀⇛ We were thinking about this in the context of the recent video on pressure advance in 3D printers. Essentially, the unmelted filament acts as a springy piston, and that springiness means that the pressure built up in the melted plastic lags the feedrate of new filament. We usually calibrate this out with a guesstimate constant, but it can be different for every different filament. Measuring that pressure directly with a strain gauge in the hot end makes more sense. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1407 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/26/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/26/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 26, 2026 * ⚓ Thomas Rigby ☛ Translation_vs_Localisation⠀⇛ From my understanding, there is a subtle but distinct difference; "translation" involves turning the words from one language to another but "localisation" involves rewriting the text for the local market. Some may argue this is the same thing but it isn't — they are distinct tasks. We can see this by comparing a localisation between two countries that speak the same language. * ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ 1,500_curl_authors⠀⇛ I have not been a solo maintainer of curl for a long time and I don’t even do half of the commits anymore * ⚓ Pivot to AI ☛ Codeberg_bans_AI_slop_software_projects⠀⇛ Codeberg is not going to do a mass deletion, a bonfire of the vibes. But if a project’s causing issues, and it’s slop code, they will be asking the vibe coder to find somewhere else. * ⚓ Joshua Barretto ☛ Languages_as_designed_latent_spaces⠀⇛ I have been thinking recently about how language is a high entropy latent space and what that means. Latent spaces are sort of magic: they don’t just reduce the dimensionality of a higher dimensional space, they also constrain it such that arbitrary movement in the latent space maps to some meaningful position in the higher dimensional space. Think about how almost any textual prompt you give to an image generator results in a picture with recognisable shape and form, yet the vast majority of the possible images are basically just random noise. Language is, obviously, like this. Once you’ve learned to conquer the basic structural rules like syntax, grammar, and basic pattern matching of words with similar semantic clustering, movement within it almost always produces ‘meaningful’ (read: intelligible, not philosophically meaningful) results. Consider how an articulate human being can fairly easily produce passable bullshit in a field with which they have no experience simply by reading a little of the field’s jargon and improvising, but would utterly fail to demonstrate practical ability in the field. * ⚓ Zig by Example ☛ Zig_by_Example⠀⇛ Zig is a general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal and reusable software. Please read the official documentation to learn more. Zig by Example is a hands-on introduction to Zig using annotated example programs. * ⚓ Piotr Chmolowski ☛ Nothing_Works_and_Everyone_Is_Euphoric⠀⇛ As I’m writing this, we’re in the middle of an AI-induced mass psychosis. People are literally token-maxxing themselves into hospital beds, scrambling to capture some of that market value before everything is automated away. I can’t blame them. Models keep getting better, programmers are being laid off left and right. We’ve been repeatedly told that AI will write 100% of the code by the end of the year. Whether that’s true or not, this may not be the best time to sit back. The widespread excitement around the Agentic Era comes with the promise of greater productivity and higher quality. There’s no denying that these new tools have already revolutionized how we create and use software. They have raised upper management’s expectations for team output. They may have upgraded the average skill set of software teams in a way we have not seen before. So why does software keep getting worse across the board? * ⚓ Hillel Wayne ☛ We_Are_Not_Special⠀⇛ Debates about traditional versus software engineering revolve around what makes us different. The clichés here come from a different camp than the “what makes an engineer” clichés. The ways people try to define “engineering” often work to marginalize software. Differences like “we don’t have licenses” or “we’re not rigorous” are ways of saying that software is less prestigious, less “good” than traditional engineering. As we saw in the last essay, most of these don’t hold up, and the crossover engineers think the two jobs are much closer in nature than people who have only done one. When people talk about the fundamental differences, in contrast, they’re usually not aiming to delegitimize software development. Rather, the implicit emphasis is on making software “special”. Making software something that can’t be understood by the narrow lens of engineering. * ⚓ Sebastian ☛ the_perils_of_parsing_type_inference_declarations_in_c⠀⇛ here's something fun. say that x was declared in an outer scope as a typedef: [...] * ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_RcppArmadillo_15.4.2-1_on_CRAN: Small_Upstream_Fixes⠀⇛ widely used by (currently) 1293 other packages on CRAN, downloaded 47.8 million / vignette) by Conrad and myself has been cited 710 times according This versions updates to the 15.4.2 upstream Armadillo release made this week, as well as to included 15.4.1 version we released only to Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub and r- universe so do not exceed the (roughly) monthly cadence. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Adam Johnson ☛ Python:_spy_on_function_calls_with_unittest.mock’s wraps_-_Adam_Johnson⠀⇛ Testing terminology distinguishes between different kinds of test doubles, including: • mocks, which replace the real behaviour of a function. • spies, which wrap a function, recording calls for later assertions. Despite its name, unittest.mock is not just for mocks: it can also create spies, through the wraps argument of its Mock classes. Calls to such a Mock pass through to the wrapped object and return its real results, while the mock records the calls for later assertions. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ Kevin Boone ☛ Command-line_hacking:_using_find,_sed,_and_xargs together_for_flexible_filename_transformation⠀⇛ Consider this situation: you have a bunch of nested directories, each containing audio files in M4A format. Each filename ends with the extension .m4a. You’d like to convert every .m4a file in every directory to MP3 format. The new file will have the same name as the old one except for the filename extension which, most likely, you’d prefer to be .mp3. This is a common enough situation – there are many conversions that need a change of filename.

In that case, the task system owns the lifecycle of the tasks it starts. I mean smaller, best-effort jobs where it’s super tempting to start a task with go func() and just forget about it. Sending a notification or writing an expensive diagnostic log often falls into this category.

I’d type in an IP address, get the usual scary interstitial, click through it, and then act like that was perfectly normal because the server was mine. It was only on my network, after all, so I told myself it wasn’t a big deal. After enough times, though, that warning stopped feeling useful and started feeling like one more thing I’d trained myself to ignore. * ⚓ Linux_containers_do_what_my_Proxmox_VMs_couldn't:_run_a_dozen_services without_wasting_half_my_memory⠀⇛ When I first started building out my Proxmox environment, creating a full virtual machine for every service felt like the safe choice. Each application got its own operating system, virtual disk, memory allocation, and clearly defined place on the server. It looked organized and, more importantly, felt properly isolated. After a while, though, I had several nearly identical Linux installations running just to support small services that barely used the resources I’d assigned them. Moving most of those workloads into Linux containers, or LXCs, made the waste much harder to ignore, because the same hardware suddenly felt quicker, less crowded, and much easier to maintain. * ⚓ OCI_image_support_in_Proxmox_solves_a_problem_I_didn't_have_and_ignores the_one_I_do⠀⇛ When Proxmox VE 9.1 added support for OCI images, I immediately saw a chance to remove a layer from my home lab. Instead of creating a virtual machine, installing Docker, and then running containers inside that guest, I could apparently pull those same images straight into Proxmox. At least, that was how I read it at first. After spending some time with the feature, I found that Proxmox supports the image format, but not the Docker workflow I was hoping to replace. * ⚓ Proxmox_is_overkill_for_a_single_mini_PC,_and_that's_exactly_why_I_put it_on_mine⠀⇛ Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents: The mini PC was always lumped in with netbooks and NUCs. They were great for getting basic work done, but as soon as you'd command one to do anything slightly more demanding, they would choke under their own weight. That's no longer the case, as modern mini PCs, even more affordable ones, come rocking more powerful Intel and AMD processors, allowing you to easily work and game on a device more compact than a box of tissues. This is how I can run Proxmox on a few mini PCs to create the ultimate low-power home lab cluster. * ⚓ This_free_Proxmox_tool_is_overkill_for_a_home_lab,_and_that’s_exactly why_I_put_it_in_charge_of_mine⠀⇛ Proxmox may have killer virtualization tools, but it’s the companion services designed by the genius developers and talented community members that really make it ideal for tinkerers. Proxmox Backup Server is by far the most popular among these tools, and considering its storage-efficient snapshots, remote sync support, and extra recovery features, it deserves all the love it gets. How-To Geek: * ⚓ Why_homelabbers_are_ditching_Unraid_for_Proxmox⠀⇛ Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents: Anyone building a homelab today has more choices than ever. A few years ago, Unraid was often the first recommendation for anyone who wanted to store files and run Plex. It made home servers approachable, especially for users who did not want to learn enterprise virtualization. Fluid logo The conversation has shifted, and new homelab projects increasingly begin with Proxmox VE, and many existing Unraid users are migrating their workloads after hardware upgrades or major rebuilds. Community discussions now focus less on which platform is easier to install and more on which platform offers greater flexibility as a home lab grows, and many enthusiasts want a platform that resembles what they might encounter in a data center while remaining practical for home use. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣾⣿⣇⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢁⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣸⣿⡏⣾⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⢀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣄⠀⣤⣤⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⣠⢀⣠⣤⣭⣭⣭⡭⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⢧⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⢸⡘⡀⢒⢛⡛⣻⢟⡿⣛⣟⣂⣅⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠉⠉⡉⣥⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⣠⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⡿⠉⣀⣴⡇⠛⠰⠆⠉⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢃⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⡗⣥⣩⣭⣥⣩⣤⡅⠉⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠠⠤⠤⠠⠠⠰⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⢶⢶⣶⣖⣶⣶⢨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣷⣾⣿⣿⢳⣿⣄⣀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⢰⠐⡒⣒⣀⣀⣀⠚⠐⠒⠒⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣿⣟⣯⣿⣭⣭⡍⠭⠭⠭⠉⠉⠉⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠋⢹⣿⣴⡟⡻⢽⣿⡄⣘⣶⠆⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣼⣿⢷⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠈⡇⠐⠢⠢⠤⢤⣄⡀⡂⣒⠀⠀⠀⢐⣀⣀⣀⠀⠐⠀⠄⠰⠭⠤⠤⠀⣭⣤⣤⡄⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣾⣿⣿⡅⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⣿⣿⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢱⠀⠈⣗⣟⣿⠶⠄⠀⠭⠄⠀⠀⠐⠒⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⡁⠀⠀⡀⠘⢻⠁⠉⢿⢿⣸⣿⣆⠘⢿⣿⠿⠁⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢠⣿⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⡆⠀⢿⣝⣛⣛⡓⠈⠩⢭⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠠⠠⠤⠤⠤⠀⠐⠒⠒⠂⠀⢸⣿⣿⣮⣧⠀⢾⡇⠀⠀⡦⠀⣌⡳⠉⠻⠏⠀⣤⣤⡞⠁⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣼⣿⢳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢣⣀⣸⣯⣭⣭⣤⡌⠩⢩⡉⠉⠁⢠⡤⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⢀⣀⣀⠰⠤⠤⠄⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣖⠈⠀⣀⣠⡇⠃⠙⠙⡆⠀⠀⠀⠐⠛⣿⣴⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⡟⡿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⡍⠉⠏⢿⣿⣭⡀⠀⡓⣒⠀⠀⢸⣫⠭⢬⢍⣡⣩⡉⠓⠒⠒⠀⠀⢨⠀⠘⠓⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⠿⠛⠃⠀⠀⠸⠀⠀⠀⠀⡊⢹⣿⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢰⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⠗⠁ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢇⠀⢸⠾⢦⣤⣀⡀⡒⠶⠀⠀⠀⠭⠉⠛⠛⠓⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣵⣼⡇⢸⣿⣿⡿⠛⠀⠀⠪⣿⣿⣿⡟⣾⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠀⠀⡧⣶⣿⣇⠀⠬⢭⠍⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣿⣿⡇⣸⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⡇⣿⡿⣼⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⢹⣠⣥⣽⡇⠈⡓⡂⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠚⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⢛⣋⡇⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠛⠛⠘⣿⡇⠇⠉⠛⠻⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠘⠿⠭⠉⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⡀⠄⠀⠀⢐⢲⡤⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⢶⣿⠿⠙⣟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠰⠁⣿⣿⡿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣰⡀⠀⢽⣯⠁⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⢥⣍⠁⠀⠲⠦⣤⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠹⠃⠀⠀⠘⠋⢀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⢸⣧⠀⣸⡋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣽⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡿⠾⠀⢰⣤⡄⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⠂⠦⠄⠀⠐⠖⢆⡀⠀⠱⠀⠀⠘⢓⣀⣀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣧⠤⠨⠉⠑⠛⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠔⠒⠒⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⣛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣤⣀⣀⣄⣹⣿⣿⣶ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⢑⡐⠀⣤⣬⣵⣶⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠆⠾⠛⠛⠁⠀⠐⠐⠚⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⢿⣷⡈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠯⠀⠙⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣠⣤⣼⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣶⣿⣿⣿⡽⡆⠘⢧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⣿⣿⠿⠟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣤⣴⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⣀⣹⣿⣿⣿⠋ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣤⢤⡀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣄⣀⣚⣿⣾⣶⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣠⣿⣿⣿⣷ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠞⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠹⢷⣌⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣤⣶⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⢷⣿⣷⡒⠶⣶⣦⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠄⠀⠔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠻⣿⣿⠄⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⣀⣀⣀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡆⢀⣀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠐⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠐⠃⠘⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣶⣶⣶⣶⣤⣦⣤⣤⣶⣶⣤⣴⣴⣦⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣤⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1824 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/26/Release_of_Brave_1_92.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/26/Release_of_Brave_1_92.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Release of Brave 1.92⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 26, 2026 * ⚓ Mike Rockwell ☛ Brave_1.92_Adds_Built-in_Containers_for_Desktop⠀⇛ One of the features I missed from Firefox was containers, though.

We are besieged by horrible people not because we did anything wrong; it is because of the substance of our message, not the style, it is because we resist powerful corporations and their footsoldiers. If you condemn them, they will hate you and try to silence you. Whether you say "Donald Trump is [bad word]" or "Donald Trump is bad for the US" (the latter is more polite) does not matter because the core "issue" is that you are not supporting the dictatorship. So disregard smears that are based on distortions and reversals of guilt; for instance, pointing out someone strangled women isn't the problem; the strangulation is the problem, and moreover it is a distraction from Microsoft fraud. What they do is disingenuous; they use expensive and notoriously_aggressive solicitors trying to spoon-feed smears and libels for judges to repeat, to discredit the victim basically, to dehumanise the person they are attacking in various ways. They have been doing this for 2.5 years already. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Back_side_of_U.S._dollar ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡏⠋⠛⢉⣩⡉⠉⠉⠉⠉⡩⡍⢩⡍⡍⣍⠍⢩⡍⠭⣍⠍⡭⢭⡭⢩⡭⢩⡍⡍⢩⣉⠭⣭⠍⣍⠩⡭⢭⡍⢍⣍⡉⢩⢩⡩⡍⠍⢩⡉⢭⣩⡍⣭⠍⢭⢩⢩⡍⡭⠍⢩⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢉⣉⡉⠉⠉⢹⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⣀⢌⢹⣿⢇⣀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠃⠘⠃⠃⠋⠂⠘⠃⠀⠘⠁⠓⠘⢃⣘⠑⠘⠃⠁⠀⠉⠁⠉⠀⠙⠀⠓⠘⠁⠀⠉⠁⠙⠈⠁⠃⣀⡀⠉⠀⠉⠁⠉⠀⠈⠘⠈⠃⠓⠀⠈⠃⠀⠈⣀⢠⣹⣿⠇⡔⠄⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠉⠈⢨⣭⡌⠉⠁⠁⠀⠀⢀⣀⡠⠤⢠⣤⡐⠀⢌⠉⡉⠉⠁⠈⡁⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣠⣠⣀⣠⣩⣩⣭⣭⣠⣩⣩⣨⣭⠩⠉⠈⢍⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠠⠠⠀⠤⠤⣀⡀⠠⠈⠀⠈⠈⢠⣬⡌⠁⠁⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡏⠁⠐⠙⠋⠁⠀⠀⢀⠴⡚⠑⢂⠈⠉⠁⡀⠂⠀⠻⠑⠘⢠⣄⣰⣶⣿⣿⣴⢿⢿⣿⡿⢿⢿⡿⡿⢿⡿⣿⡿⡿⡿⢿⣤⣿⣿⣶⣦⣤⠀⣀⠂⠃⠀⠂⢀⣉⢯⣁⠀⠊⢓⢄⠐⢀⠀⠉⠉⠉⡀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⡐⡡⠈⠀⠀⢠⣾⠿⣷⡄⠀⠂⢌⠢⣥⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⢉⠀⠀⡀⠀⢾⡁⠀⢹⠅⠀⠀⠐⠑⢂⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠡⠰⠂⠀⠠⢀⢀⣤⡤⡘⢻⣷⣾⣃⣶⣶⣬⣤⣥⢹⣿⡿⠉⡎⣾⣽⠀⢋⢻⣿⣟⠮⢪⡻⣿⣆⣴⣿⣶⡆⠃⣿⣷⣼⢸⣿⣿⠃⢂⠀⠀⠀⢐⠪⠛⡚⠫⢒⠁⠀⠀⠈⡔⠀⠈⠆⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⣦⣿⣿⣿⣿⢃⣾⣿⣿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⡇⣿⣿⡀⠀⡂⣿⣿⣷⣺⡷⣜⢿⣿⣿⡏⠉⠀⡿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣟⢸⠀⠥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠌⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠒⠚⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢔⣦⠀⠀⢹⠯⢿⠿⠁⣼⣿⣿⣿⣇⡩⠿⣟⢽⣿⢿⣿⣆⠀⡇⣿⣿⣿⡿⢳⣿⡿⣿⣿⣆⣉⡢⣿⣿⡿⠗⠀⣿⣾⣿⢹⡿⣿⠸⣁⢔⠀⢀⠀⠀⣤⣤⡄⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⡆⠀⠐⢴⡲⠀⡀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠈⠑⠀⠉⠈⠀⠨⢀⠘⠛⢛⣛⢛⠛⠒⠀⠪⠀⢌⣾⣿⣿⣷⣷⣽⣿⣼⣷⣿⣮⣬⣬⣿⣿⣿⡤⠿⢿⢥⣤⣥⣿⣧⣼⣼⣿⣿⣇⢣⠡⠀⡈⠁⠘⠿⠿⠏⠀⠀⡐⠀⡐⣠⡀⠀⠊⠁⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠉⢄⠢⡐⠢⠆⡀⠤⣤⠀⠆⠂⡀⠠⢺⢿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⡟⠒⠕⢀⠀⠀⠰⢷⣶⠗⠐⠂⡠⠀⡺⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢤⣶⡆⠀⠈⠀⠈⠀⠁⠒⠠⠤⡤⠒⣊⡡⠓⠄⠘⠀⠉⢩⢤⡯⢝⠉⠭⠽⣹⠿⠛⠿⣿⣿⢿⠿⠛⠿⠷⠯⠭⠉⡩⢯⠮⡉⠁⢈⢁⠲⠮⢈⡔⠒⢤⠄⠐⠂⠉⠀⠀⠐⠁⠀⢴⣶⡆⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠴⠰⠘⠯⠱⠶⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠈⠈⠁⠀⠀⠐⠂⠈⠉⠀⠐⠄⠁⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠁⠂⠀⠀⠁⠈⠁⠀⠚⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠰⠞⠻⠡⠆⠄⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⢀⣼⣿⣇⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢶⣿⢸⣥⠆⣙⠻⣷⣬⢀⣶⣭⢸⣙⢀⠀⣧⣾⢸⣵⠆⢶⣏⢸⣁⠆⣹⣀⡀⣀⡀⣇⣸⢀⣠⣠⢘⣿⣦⡈⣿⣿⢸⣿⡂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣧⡈⠐⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣷⣤⣴⣤⣤⣤⣴⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣦⣤⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣤⣤⣤⣶⣴⣤⣤⣴⣤⣴⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1969 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/26/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/26/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 26, 2026 * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Rockwell_Patches_Code_Execution_Flaws_in_Arena Simulation_Software⠀⇛ A researcher has explained how an attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to target industrial organizations. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Saturday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (compat- openssl11, java-1.8.0-openjdk, java-17-openjdk, kernel, kernel- rt, and sssd), Debian (exim4), Fedora (chromium, dotnet10.0, mbedtls, mupdf, netatalk, python-django5, skopeo, sssd, and wget1), Mageia (libevent and transmission), Oracle (.NET 8.0, 389-ds-base, aardvark-dns, acl, buildah, cifs-utils, dovecot, dracut, galera and mariadb11.8, glibc, hplip, kernel, libxml2, nginx, openexr, podman, postgresql18, rsync, thunderbird, and vim), and SUSE (389-ds, afterburn, agama, alsa, apache-commons- compress, apache-ivy, brotli-java, zstd-jni, avahi, aws-nitro- enclaves-cli, cockpit, cockpit-machines, cockpit-packages, cockpit- podman, cockpit-repos, cockpit-subscriptions, container-suseconnect, containerd, cosign, cryptsetup, curl, dash, dnsmasq, docker, docker-compose, ffmpeg, firefox, freetype2, gawk, gh, glib-networking, glib2, go1.25, go1.25- openssl, go1.26, go1.26-openssl, google-guest-agent, google- osconfig-agent, gpg2, gsasl, gstreamer-plugins-bad, gzip, haproxy, hauler, helm, helm3, ImageMagick, imagemagick, iproute2, java-11-openjdk, java-26-openjdk, jline3, joe, jq, kernel, kernel-devel, krb5, kubevirt, libgcrypt, libpng12, libqt4, libssh2_org, libXfont2, libxml2, mariadb-connector-c, microcode_ctl, multipath-tools, nasm, net-tools, nghttp2, nmap, ntfs-3g_ntfsprogs, openexr, packagekit, pam, patch, perl, perl- DBI, perl-dbi, perl-http-date, perl-libwww-perl, perl-xml-bare, php8, prometheus-ha_cluster_exporter, python-aiohttp, python- cryptography, python-dulwich, python-idna, python-maturin, python-mistune, python-msgpack, python-paramiko, python-Pillow, python-pyasn1, python-soupsieve, python-sqlparse, python- tornado, python-tornado6, python-urllib3, python313, python313- pandas, python314, qemu, radvd, rootlesskit, rpcbind, ruby3.4, runc, s390-tools, shibboleth-sp, sssd, systemd, systemd, systemd-mini, terraform-provider-aws, terraform-provider- azurerm, terraform-provider-external, terraform-provider- google, terraform-provider-helm, terraform-provider-kubernetes, terraform-provid, terraform-provider-susepubliccloud, tiff, tomcat, tomcat10, tomcat11, uriparser, vim, vorbis-tools, wget, wpa_supplicant, xwayland, and yelp). * § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ [Old] Android Authority ☛ Cops_say_criminals_use_a_Google_Pixel with_GrapheneOS_—_I_say_that’s_freedom⠀⇛ Police in Spain have reportedly started profiling people based on their phones; specifically, and surprisingly, those carrying Google Pixel devices.

It's what Proxmox VE is built on, so it'd be reasonable to expect it to be the best option for running your LXCs, and while Debian containers can absolutely get the job done with their own set of pros, Ubuntu LTS is continually what I reach for when spinning up new LXCs. For services pulled from repos or one-line install scripts that are becoming increasingly common, Ubuntu is the base that argues with you the least, and that's exactly what you want out of your Linux containers. Read_On! Two More: * ⚓ I_added_cheap_offsite_backups_to_my_Proxmox_home_lab_with_S3_buckets and_stopped_accidents_from_claiming_my_LXCs_and_VMs⠀⇛ Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents: During my early home labbing days, I learned quite a few lessons that stuck with me throughout my tinkering journey. Creating scheduled backups is one of the most important ones, and my very first data loss event was so painful that I immediately repurposed an old system as a DIY NAS. But as my home lab and tinkering projects evolved, so too did my backup nodes, with my setup eventually culminating in a 3-2-1 snapshot pipeline consisting of two Proxmox Backup Server workstations located hundreds of miles from each other. That said, I’m also fully aware that such a setup is too overkill and pricey for the home labber, especially with the ongoing RAM apocalypse causing hardware costs to skyrocket. Fortunately, the newer versions of Proxmox Backup Server can send snapshots to S3 buckets, making offsite backups a lot more affordable (and easier to manage). * ⚓ Steam_streaming_on_Proxmox_doesn't_require_GPU_passthrough,_and_my_LXC setup_proves_it⠀⇛ Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents: I've been wanting to turn my Strix Halo box into a game streaming server for months, and the only thing stopping me was the dread of VFIO GPU passthrough. It's a pain: block the driver, wrangle IOMMU groups, dedicate the entire GPU to one VM, and pray that the next kernel update doesn't break everything. My homelab already runs half a dozen services on Proxmox, and giving up the only GPU in the machine to a single VM just feels wasteful. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⡀⠀⠀⡀⡀⡀⠀⢀⢀⠁⠀⠉⠀⠈⢙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣶⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⠆⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿ ⣿⣟⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣃ ⣾⣧⣉⡛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠴⠶⠤⠶⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣶⣿⣿⠻⣩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣾⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯ ⣿⣿⣷⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⡀⢻⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣟⡋⣫⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⢻⣿⣿⠟⢁⡀⠘⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠷⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⢶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣠⣹⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣧⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣸⡿⢋⣾⣶⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠈⠁⠉⠐⠀⠈⠀⠂⠀⠀⠂⠐⠐⠂⠀⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠈⠉⠁⢸⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣎⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢋⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⣀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣄⠀⣸⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡼⠋⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⣀⡠⠐⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣻⣿⣦⣿⣿⢯⣭⣉⣛⣛⡛⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠻⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⡀⣾⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣯⣥⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠹⣿⣿⣿⣯⠹⠿⣾⣶⢶⣶⣶⣴⣤ ⣶⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⣻⣿⣆⠘⢿⣿⠋⡁⣀⣏⠥⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣷⣽⠀⣹⣷⣺⡿⠟⠉⠀⣴⣿⣧⠙⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣦⠈⢻⠋⠳⠾⠵⠣⢾⢿⣿⣿⣿ ⣠⣿⣿⣿⣶⣷⣿⠗⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣷⣤⣤⠍⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠁⠈⠉⠁⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠶⣺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠉⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⣶⣴⣦⣞⣻⡟⠀⠒ ⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠈⢌⢉⠩⡽⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡿⠁⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣰⣤⣶⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠈⢊⣡⣭⡽⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2862 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/26/Windows_at_New_Lows_in_Viet_Nam_GNU_Linux_Measured_at_7.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/26/Windows_at_New_Lows_in_Viet_Nam_GNU_Linux_Measured_at_7.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Windows at New Lows in Viet Nam, GNU/Linux Measured at 7%⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 26, 2026, updated Jul 26, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇rms_in_tamcoc⦈_ This is statCounter's latest: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Desktop_Operating_System_Market_Share_Viet_Nam⦈_ Windows is a_dying_breed_in_Vietnam_(or_Viet_Nam).

The famously conservative desktop has always moved at its own pace, really only adopting new technology when it's absolutely ready to, and not a single second before. So when the Xfce project announced it was spending a significant portion of its community donations to fund a brand-new Wayland compositor, written from scratch in Rust, it felt like a massive departure from what Xfce users expected. The good news for X11 holdouts is: nobody is going to take it away from you tomorrow, but the list of reasons to stay is getting shorter with each passing release cycle.

But I also have WhatsApp Desktop open so I can answer my messages. On Zorin Connect, I only had to use one app instead of two. For example, a WhatsApp notification appeared at the top of my Zorin desktop, even though my phone was locked. I could see the sender and message, and it stayed there until I interacted with it. When I opened the notification, I could see a reply box and a Send button. So I could answer without having to unlock my phone. I could also see my Gmail notifications. The notification showed me things like the sender, subject, Gmail icon, and a decent part of what was in the email when I hovered over it. By seeing what the email was about, I could decide whether it could wait. I'm not saying this is going to replace the full WhatsApp or Gmail experience. But it's a great option when I need a quick glance at what came in or need to give a quick answer.
