This matter is now being escalated to law firms. Ahead of tomorrow's_announcement I wanted to point out again that violence_is_not_a joke, nor is sexual exploitation of women. If you think this is joking material, then there is probably deeply wrong with you and you must go (back) to a psychiatrist. We have long had zero tolerance towards violent threats. We put up a policy_for_this_17_years_ago and stated (in 2009): "We now use a warning system, whereby an offensive person receives 3 warnings before action is taken." This was a response to legal offences, not just offensive behaviour. Thankfully we've not had to resort to that sort of "warning system" for a very long time (several years). If you participate in an online community or software project that glorifies violence or believes it's OK to "joke" about physical harm (to people you dislike), consider carefully distancing yourselves. Cults that revel in or fetishise violence will eventually have a member "actually do it", egged on by groupthink and pursuit of peer affirmation. █ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣤⣠⠀⣤⡤⡄⠀⣤⣤⣧⠤⠀⣤⣤⡤⠤⣠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠉⠀⠉⠉⠉⠈⠙⢩⠏⠀⠉⠁⠀⠉⠉⠉⠍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠛⠛⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⢀⠀⠀⡀⣁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⡀⠀⢀⢀⣀⡀⠀⠀⢀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠇⠟⠸⠽⠷⠇⠿⣾⡇⠿⠸⠁⠯⠸⠇⠸⠱⠿⠽⠹⠸⠏⠇⠭⠿⠟⠽⠸⠝⠏⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠺⠂⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣉⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣷⣷⣿⣷⣿⣷⢿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣿⣿⢿⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢹⣿⣿⡿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢹⣿⡿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⡯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⣿⣷⣿⣯⣾⣭⣿⣮⣿⣾⣷⣽⣷⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣭⣯⣿⣼⣽⣷⣽⣮⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣷⣧⣯⣽⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 158 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/28/AI_and_Linux_a_bit_of_ranting.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/28/AI_and_Linux_a_bit_of_ranting.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ AI and Linux: a bit of ranting⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 28, 2026 From the hundreds of URLs visited per week, here are a bunch of comments based on a very short selection of news from the last 3 weeks.

To help answer those questions, there is no one better than Kate Robertson, a senior research associate at the Citizen Lab, who has been vocal on the convention since negotiations began years ago. She joins the Law Bytes podcast to discuss her concerns and how the Convention fits within the broader global political and policing frameworks. * ⚓ Late_Night_Linux_–_Episode_396⠀⇛ With several open source figures taking a stance on either side of the generative Hey Hi (AI) debate, we have another argument about it. This time we actually come to something closer to an understanding of each other’s views, even if we still end up disagreeing.

There are, however, those who believe it is an inevitability and have fully embraced the concept. Even Linux creator Linus Torvalds has told anti-AI developers to "fork off." Now, one developer has taken Debian and twisted it into a local AI workstation that would make a great tool for your AI needs. Use it for general AI chats, to help you develop apps, or just about anything where AI could assist. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 288 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/28/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/28/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jul 28, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇process_manager⦈_ * ⚓ Procman_-_terminal-based_process_manager⠀⇛ Procman is a terminal-based process manager for applications that use Procfiles.

But now that I've gone hands-on with it, I wouldn't be so quick to relegate it solely to the power user crowd. On the contrary: the Laptop 13 Pro has the most crowd appeal of any of its devices to date, with a dramatically sleeker build, a larger 74Wh battery, haptic touchpad, and the latest Intel Series 3 processors. It represents a new approach for Framework and a maturation of the brand's catalog. Having perfected the DIY assembly process through its own robust collection of guides and QR-coded components, Framework turns to a more mature design. This laptop brings a premium set of features to a workstation that would resemble a ThinkPad, MacBook, or XPS… if not for the signature DIY aesthetic. * § Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ OSTechNix ☛ Best_Open_Source_Tools_to_Build_a_Production-Ready Document_Processing_Pipeline_on_Linux⠀⇛ Explore best open source tools to design, build, deploy, secure, and scale a production-ready document processing pipeline on Linux. o ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_we_designed_customizable_dashboards_in_OpenShift⠀⇛ Out of the box, Red Bait OpenShift provides a complete set of preconfigured monitoring dashboards.

It is possible to read by touch, not just vision and sound (some people are both deaf and blind, but they can still read and enjoy literature, prose, news). There's work_underway_to_improve_the_system_which_runs_the_sites. One lingering issue, for instance, is that in Tux Machines "Other Sites" precede the navigation menu and main body. To people who are not blind it won't make a difference, but to those who leverage screenreaders (typically but not only blind people) it can be a nuisance. I take full responsibility for it, due to the hurried nature in which the system was deployed and used on "live". There is still technical debt for us to tackle.

Neither project is finished, but the fact that both are happening simultaneously, sponsored by the FreeBSD Foundation, marks a shift in the platform's ambitions. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1171 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/28/Mission_Center_1_2_0_ReleasedMission_Center_1_2_0_Released.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/28/Mission_Center_1_2_0_ReleasedMission_Center_1_2_0_Released.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Mission Center 1.2.0 Released⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 28, 2026, updated Jul 28, 2026 * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Mission_Center_adds_battery,_partition_and_power_draw info⠀⇛ A new version of GNU/Linux system monitoring app Mission Center is available for download, adding new hardware stats, first-run setup prompt and bug fixes.

Starting today, you can try out the next design evolution of Firefox in Nightly. It’s still Firefox, now with a more cohesive look and feel across tabs, menus, panels, and other browser surfaces. You’ll notice softer tab shapes, a warmer color palette, updated icons, and – after hearing from many of you – the return of Compact Mode and new theme options to make Firefox your own. Many of you have already spotted pieces of the new design in Nightly over the past few months. Now they’re coming together into one complete  experience. You’ll continue to see updates over the coming weeks as we polish the new Firefox design before it reaches Firefox users more broadly later this year.

However, that doesn’t mean his efforts have gone to waste. Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub user defcom5-rockchip forked the project and released two Ubuntu 24.04-based distributions working on the Orange Pi 5B, notably integrating two fixes for the Ampak AP6275P WiFi and Bluetooth module, including one that Cypress apparently already fixed in 2018, but took a while to be integrated into Rockchip OS images. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ AI_developer_runs_28.9-million-parameter_model_on_$10 ESP32-S3_microcontroller_—_uses_Google's_Per-Layer_Embeddings_technique, stores_table_on_16MB_Flash_memory⠀⇛ Getting a local language model running on a sub-$10 microcontroller is impressive despite its obvious limitations. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ LILYGO_T-Display_C5_board_features_1.9-inch_IPS_color LCD,_battery_support,_Qwiic_expansion_connectors⠀⇛ LILYGO T-Display C5 is an ESP32-C5 board with a 1.9-inch IPS color LCD, a USB-C port for power and programming, Lithium battery support, and GPIO expansion via headers and two Qwiic expansion connectors. The main benefit of using an ESP32-C5 chip is support for dual-band WiFi 6 connectivity (2.4/5.0 GHz), and it also keeps Bluetooth LE 5.x and the 802.15.4 radio for Zigbee/Thread/Matter found in the ESP32-C6. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Open_RC_Spotter_is_an_open-source_ESP32_telemetry_and data_logger_for_RC_cars_and_toys⠀⇛ Jake Wachlin (Energy Labs) has designed the Open RC Spotter, an open-source ESP32-based telemetry and data logger for RC cars, trucks, and other RC toys. The platform logs synchronized GPS position, acceleration, gyroscope, steering, throttle, battery voltage, temperature, and lap timing data to a microSD card, while also supporting live telemetry over Wi-Fi and ESP-NOW. We have previously written about telemetry and data-logging hardware designed for full-sized vehicles, such as the Macchina A0 ESP32 CAN board, which supports OBD-II diagnostics and RaceChrono integration. * ⚓ Raspberry_Pi_Weekly_Issue_#538_-_New:_10"_Raspberry_Pi_Touch_Display_2 and_‘AI_Projects_with_Raspberry_Pi’⠀⇛ Grab a new Humble Bundle of Raspberry Pi books while you can! Howdy, What's that? You're seeing double? Double launches? Yeah, you are!  This week, we released the 10" variant of Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2, bringing a bigger screen and higher resolution to the Touch Display family. It's perfect for a wide range of applications, including dashboards, robotics interfaces, digital signage, gaming systems, equipment control panels, and more. * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Pironman_5_Pro_Max_Review:_SunFounder's_Most_Capable_Pi_5 Case_Doubles_as_an_Hey_Hi_(AI)_Desktop⠀⇛ SunFounder's flagship Pironman case now ships with a 4.3" touchscreen, a camera mount, and room for an Hey Hi (AI) accelerator, built for Raspberry Pi 5 owners who want to experiment with local AI, not just add cooling and storage. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Jetway_SMC-ARK1_–_A_Rockchip_RK3588_SMARC_2.1_compliant system-on-module⠀⇛ Jetway has introduced the SMC-ARK1, a new SMARC system-on- module built around the Rockchip RK3588 octa-core processor. Designed for embedded computing and edge Hey Hi (AI) applications, the board includes up to 16GB of LPDDR4x memory and up to 128GB of eMMC flash, dual GbE, and an Ampak AP6398SV Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0 module, alongside a dedicated HDMI input via an I-PEX FPC connector. We’ve previously written about the Geniatech SOM-3568-SMARC module based on the Rockchip RK3568, but Jetway’s SMC-ARK1 appears to be the first SMARC module we’ve seen based on the Rockchip RK3588. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Disgruntled_gamer_builds_booby-trapped_Steam_Deck_with 3D-printed_spikes_and_a_built-in_taser_—_Raspberry_Pi_powers_speaker, camera,_and_alarm_to_stop_family_members_draining_his_battery⠀⇛ A Steam Deck devotee was so fed up with their family borrowing their handheld and leaving it with a flat battery that they have resorted to quite extreme anti-sharing measures. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Framework_Laptop_13_Pro_review:_It_cleans_up_nice⠀⇛ This design is far and away better than its existing chassis, but launching a laptop based on repairability when parts for it are extremely expensive puts the Laptop 13 Pro out of reach for many. * ⚓ Thomas Buck ☛ Logitech_MX_Ergo_switch_replacement⠀⇛ After using a Logitech M570 trackball for a while I switched to their MX Ergo model while the pandemic was going on. I've been pretty happy with it, but after around three or four years, it had now developed the "doubleclick issue". Apparently it's a common problem with these devices. In my case, the switch in the left mouse button started to register false clicks when holding it down. This caused drag-and-drop or selecting text to become pretty much impossible. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ EDATEC_ED-IPC1200_and_ED-IPC1220_add_DIN-rail_I/O_around Raspberry_Pi_CM0⠀⇛ EDATEC has expanded its family of Raspberry Pi Compute Module 0-based DIN-rail industrial computers with the ED-IPC1200 and ED-IPC1220. Both models provide Ethernet, USB, RS232, dual RS485, optional wireless connectivity, and isolated control interfaces, while the ED-IPC1220 includes additional digital I/ O and analog inputs. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ ThingPulse_Icon256_is_a_WLED-based_word_clock_with_256 RGB_LEDs⠀⇛ The ThingPulse Icon256 is a Wi-Fi-connected word clock that displays the time as illuminated phrases across a 16 × 16 RGB LED matrix. The finished unit includes an enclosure, an English-language front panel, preinstalled firmware, and USB- C power input. The display consists of 256 individually addressable RGB light points positioned behind a letter grid. * § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Android Police ☛ Dear_Google,_I_promise_I_don't_need_16GB_RAM_on my_next_Pixel_phone⠀⇛ Recently, we’ve seen mobile brands hiking the pricing of their mobile offerings after being impacted by the memory crunch from the AI boom [sic].

Individually, the bugs appeared limited, offering only a repeated one-byte write primitive and a fixed 29-byte memory disclosure. However, by carefully manipulating heap allocation, the exploit gained control of a callback pointer and bypassed Address Space Layout Randomisation (ASLR), enabling arbitrary code execution as the “git” system user. * ⚓ Vikash Patel ☛ API_Design_for_Backend_Systems⠀⇛ A practical, opinionated guide to designing backend APIs. Covers request and response schema, offset and keyset pagination, BFF, server-driven UI, caching, versioning, naming, the new HTTP QUERY verb, WebSocket vs SSE, API security (auth headers, server-to-server auth, webhook receivers), and bulk data load APIs. Built around Relay, the same AI proxy system from the multi-tenant SaaS post, with REST and JSON as the running example and Go code throughout. * ⚓ Farid Zakaria ☛ Seriously,_what_is_the_large_code-model_even_for?⠀⇛ In a previous post, I documented how I hit simple performance bottlenecks that made me believe that the code-model is largely theoretical in practice. In those cases, the fixes were evident and relatively small; however their omission was a hint at how no one uses the code-model because without them the performance penalty was a non-starter. * ⚓ Cédric Bonhomme ☛ Challenging_Claude's_creativity_with_IFS_fractals_and OCaml⠀⇛ Sixteen years ago, during a functional programming course, I wrote a small OCaml program that draws fractals with iterated function systems (IFS). It is one of my oldest repositories still alive, and it has barely changed since 2010. I have a long standing affection for both OCaml and fractals: I even published a small work about fractals back in 2008. So when I recently got my hands on Claude Fable 5, Anthropic’s new model, I thought this dusty little project would make a perfect playground. Not to fix bugs or refactor code, but to challenge its creativity: could it invent new IFS fractals? * ⚓ Mike McQuaid ☛ Open_Source_Must_Be_Fun_(Or_It_Will_Die)_|_Mike McQuaid⠀⇛ I was on a call with a bunch of people involved in other prominent open source projects a few weeks ago. The organiser jokingly asked us to raise our hands if the previous six months had been better than what came before. I raised my hand. No one else did. Why? I’ve maintained Homebrew, the package manager for everywhere, for nearly 17 years. I’ve worked on it the vast majority of weeks in that time and I’ve never burned out. I’m having more fun than ever. The current narrative around open source is depressing. Apparently it’s “dying”. AI drive-by issues, pull requests and security reports are overwhelming maintainers. Rising security expectations (thanks Mythos) require maintainers to do even more work. Open source funding is hard to secure and insufficient. Some of this is happening, but I’m sure as hell not seeing it in Homebrew. Another Homebrew maintainer told me: "I’m having more fun than ever before." * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ June_2026_Top_40_New_CRAN_Packages⠀⇛ Four hundred twelve new packages were submitted to CRAN in June. Here are my Top 40 picks in nineteen categories: Bioarchaeology, Biology, Climate Studies, Computational Methods, Ecology, Epidemiology, Finance, Functional Data Analysis, Machine Learning, Medical Statistics, Networks, Pharmacokinetics, Probability, Programming, Psychometrics, Risk Analysis, Statistics, Time Series, and Utilities. o ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_#057:_Conditionally Quieten_Compilers⠀⇛ Welcome to post 57 in the R4 series. R packages with compiled codes can use the file src/ Makevars to set compilation flags. We often rely on this to set libraries, include directories or compilation options. When using external libraries, be it header-only or via headers and linking, we are often experiencing ‘compilation noise’ when these libraries tickle warnings under generally-recommended flags such as -Wall - pedantic. Two packages I maintain are clearly repeat offenders here: Eigen, and BH. Both cam generate pages and pages of compiler output. This is generally not great as it may hide genuine warnings from our own code. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Adam Johnson ☛ Python:_inspect_interleaved_unittest.mock_calls with_attached_mocks⠀⇛ When you use a unittest.mock mock, you often make assertions on the calls it received, such as through the mock_calls list. But sometimes you want to assert on the order of calls across multiple mocked functions, for example to check that steps in a process happen in the right sequence. To do this, use attached mocks, which let you collect calls from multiple mocks into a single timeline. A parent mock has multiple child mocks attached to it, and its mock_calls list records calls from all of its children together, interleaved in the order they actually happened. Sometimes that attachment happens automatically, and sometimes you have to set it up yourself. o ⚓ Adam_Young:_Teaching_Python_using_a_Caesar_Cipher⠀⇛ A Caesar cipher is a letter for letter exchange from a clear text to a encrypted text by shifting a set distance in the alphabet. Thus, if your set distance is 2, the letter A becomes C, the letter X becomes Z. To encrypt the last letters of the alphabet, you wrap around to the beginning, so Y becomes A and Z becomes B. Caesar is commonly respelled to Ceasar, which I have done for this article. Use the spelling of your choice. This is a fairly easy algorithm to code, and makes for a decent early class in python. Here are the steps I would go through to teach someone: [...] * § Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Rakulang ☛ Rakudo_Weekly_2026.28/29/30_Thank_you!⠀⇛ After having done the Rakudo Weekly for a year, Steve Roe indicated that they needed a break from doing the Rakudo Weekly, and from Raku more generally. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ SANS ☛ Java_Spring_Boot_"heapdump"_scans,_(Mon,_Jul_27th)⠀⇛ Spring Boot exposes the endpoint "/actuator/heapdump" to collect debug information. By default, the endpoint will return a file heapdump.hprof, which includes a binary heapdump that can be used to analyze the current state of the application. Non-Java readers may be familiar with a similar concept, core dumps, which are produced by binaries to expose a memory image at the time the software crashes. "heapdumps" are the Java analog to "core-dumps". The heapdump often includes secrets used by the application to connect to backend systems. API keys, database passwords, and other sensitive data may be exposed in the heapdump. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1719 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/28/Pyramid_Scheme_Piggybacking_Misnomer_Hey_Hi_Like_Crypto_Now_Lin.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/28/Pyramid_Scheme_Piggybacking_Misnomer_Hey_Hi_Like_Crypto_Now_Lin.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Pyramid Scheme Piggybacking Misnomer "Hey Hi" (Like "Crypto"), Now "Linux" Foundation (for "Linux" "Brand") and Openwashing⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 28, 2026 * § Openwashing⠀➾ o ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ NVIDIA,_Red_Hat,_Cloudflare,_The_Linux_Foundation and_more_launch_the_"Open_Secure_AI_Alliance"_|_GamingOnLinux [Ed: Peddling scams by openwashing while piggybacking the brand Linux for credibility]⠀⇛ Some big names are coming together to form the "Open Secure AI Alliance", with a plan to "share open tools that promote responsible use of and trust in AI".

This release also enables support for per-output ICC profiles and per-surface color management, and HDR rendering support for capable displays, which requires the Vulkan renderer. Talking about Vulkan, Wayfire 0.11 extends Vulkan support to include a few more effects, including 2D and 3D view transformations and Wobbly.

If the package is a standard Emacs package, there's generally a simple way to reproduce the problem in a minimal setup; you can do 'emacs -Q' to get a stock Emacs so you can file a nice clean bug report. However, this doesn't work by itself with a third party package that you've installed through list-packages. If you start 'emacs -Q' and try to use the package, you'll probably get an error that your Emacs can't find it (and if it can find the package, you should be suspicious). * ⚓ [Old] Omar Polo ☛ I_wrote_a_music_player⠀⇛ Moved by curiosity I wrote a small music player. The ideas was to see if it was possible to decode the audio files in a tightly sandboxed process. TL;DR: it was an error. I ended up writing a thing I like, now I have to maintain it! * § Web Browsers/Web Servers/Feed Readers⠀➾ o ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ FireDragon_Browser_Swoops_in_With_New_Wings⠀⇛ It's been rewritten from scratch to provide some good gains. o ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ HTTP_Message_Signatures_with_curl⠀⇛ The specification describes this as a mechanism for creating, encoding, and verifying digital signatures or message authentication codes over components of an HTTP message. It is a way to verify that selected parts of the HTTP request arrives unmodified and exactly the same as when the request was created by the client. These days, it is very common that there are layers of proxies, load balancers, front-ends, CDNs, web firewalls and what not in between the client and the ultimate application. With HTTP Message Signatures, there can be assurances that the headers are components of the request end are unaltered. * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ L F Projects, LLC ☛ The_secret_life_of_data_in_Valkey⠀⇛ If you’ve used Valkey for very long you’re probably aware of the different primary data types in the core: strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, and streams. Each data type has an accompanying set of commands that manipulate that data type. For example, you use HSET to set a field and value pair to a hash, but you don’t use, for example, HSET to add an element to a list. What if I told you that there is an entire hidden layer that you never see unless you use a specific OBJECT command and can’t control unless you start tinkering with the configuration? And that this could have a profound effect on your total usable storage: enough that careful configuring could mean significant savings in your infrastructure. Read on to find out how you can understand and tweak the real underlying structures. * § FSF / Software Freedom / Digital Sovereignty⠀➾ o ⚓ Daniel Pocock ☛ UK,_EU_&_Australia:_sovereignty_requires independent_rival_app_stores⠀⇛ While other candidates in the Clacton-on-sea by-election rush to create manifestos, my ideas on various topics are already well documented in previous posts on my blog. I'm ready to begin the process of implementing them immediately if the people of Clacton-on-sea want me to do so. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2548 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/28/Windows_11_ruined_my_old_laptop_but_this_lightweight_Linux_dist.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/28/Windows_11_ruined_my_old_laptop_but_this_lightweight_Linux_dist.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Windows 11 ruined my old laptop, but this lightweight Linux distro brought it back to life⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jul 28, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇speedometer⦈_ Quoting: Windows 11 ruined my old laptop, but this lightweight Linux distro brought it back to life — Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents: There comes a point where an old laptop stops feeling slow and starts feeling genuinely pointless. Mine reached that stage when I opened my first-ever laptop, an early 2019 purchase, after six whole months. It had already been collecting dust and proving to be of no use, but when I saw that it had automatically updated itself to Windows 11 of all things, it became slower than ever before. All that was left to do was to list it for free on Facebook Marketplace or just contact the local e-waste agency. Then, almost on a whim, I decided to let this laptop become my first ever boat that takes me across the pond to the land of Linux. Once I decided to try Zorin OS Lite, which promised to make the laptop feel snappy and light again, I wasn't expecting a miracle.
