While that certainly helps, there’s an even better approach to stop thinking of it as your everyday computer. Instead, turn it into a Linux appliance. A Linux appliance is simply a computer dedicated to a single job. Rather than juggling web browsing, office work, games, and dozens of background applications, it boots up ready to perform one task exceptionally well. Even hardware that’s a decade old can feel surprisingly capable when it’s focused on one purpose. Whether you have an aging ThinkPad or a forgotten Windows laptop collecting dust, here are 10 practical ways to give it a new life.

In the UAE, national regulation defines what partial and full sovereign cloud mean, from data residency and encryption to government pre-screening of cloud operators. In India, there is no sovereignty mandate today; adoption is driven by risk mitigation, customer awareness, and heavy investment in AI. Yet both leaders described the same shift: sovereignty is no longer optional.  * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ No_time_to_lose:_Why_post-quantum_security_for financial_services_must_start_now⠀⇛ Cryptographically relevant quantum computers exist only as research prototypes. However, their inevitable development threatens to compromise public-key cryptography—e.g., Rivest- Shamir-Adleman (RSA) and elliptical curve cryptography (ECC)—currently used to protect financial communications, digital signatures, and payment systems.  * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Lights_on!_Real-time_threat_response_with_Red_Hat Advanced_Cluster_Security⠀⇛ Immediately terminates the pod if an attacker attempts to execute reconnaissance or networking tools (such as nmap, nc, or ncat), completely cutting off their ability to map the internal environment. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Architecting_for_maintainability:_Lessons_from_a global_multicluster_platform_blueprint⠀⇛ ING is a global financial institution that serves nearly 40 million customers across 100 countries. One of the bank’s main missions is to maintain the ING Hosted Container Platform (ICHP), a massive estate of 400 servers and 23,000 physical cores, with a lean team of fewer than 30 people. Here are the four pillars of maintainability that drive the company’s strategy. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Fedora_grapples_with_change_[LWN.net] [Ed: Author does not disclose his own conflict of interest]⠀⇛ The Fedora Project is known for, among other things, having a well-defined set of processes for just about everything. It has extensive packaging guidelines that deal with the complexities of creating RPMs to install software, as well as processes for managing the legal questions that arise around shipping software. Fedora also has a well-defined change process for dealing with self-contained technical changes as well as major changes to the distribution, and other issues as they arise. At the moment, though, the project seems to be experiencing a sort of midlife crisis as it re-examines several of its change processes at once to determine if they are still effective. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Behavioral_testing_for_Hey_Hi_(AI)_agents [Ed: IBM Red Hat peddling mindless slop and dangerous practices]⠀⇛ Imagine you ship an agent update. All unit tests pass. CI is green. In production, the agent starts calling its search tool for every greeting message. "Hello" triggers a web search, burning unnecessary API calls, and returning nonsensical responses. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Just-in-time_automated_elevated_access_with_Red_Bait_Ansible Automation_Platform_and_ServiceNow_ITSM⠀⇛ Modern IT organizations want automation to move faster, but security teams need to make sure automation does not introduce unmanaged privilege. Many automation tasks require elevated access, such as restarting services, patching systems, changing configuration files, modifying infrastructure, or performing administrative remediation. The challenge is that automation credentials are often granted broad access because they need to perform privileged work. Over time, this can create a standing- access concern: Credentials may remain privileged even when no approved work is taking place. This article reveals how to add another layer of defense by combining Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, enterprise credential management, and ITSM-driven change control to introduce a new pattern: Just-in- time automated elevated access. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 426 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/30/Free_and_Open_Source_Software_and_Review.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/30/Free_and_Open_Source_Software_and_Review.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software, and Review⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jul 30, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇cls_terminal-based_soundboard⦈_ * ⚓ cls_-_terminal-based_soundboard⠀⇛ cls is a terminal-based soundboard that combines file management with command-driven audio playback.

Depending on the document, those stages may include file detection, PDF processing, image preprocessing, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), text extraction, classification, storage, and indexing. Production systems also rely on supporting components such as messaging, monitoring, and logging to keep the pipeline reliable. No single application performs every stage well. Production- ready document processing systems combine specialized open- source tools that each solve a specific problem. This modular approach makes a document processing pipeline easier to maintain, scale, and adapt as requirements change. In this detailed guide, we will explore widely used open-source document processing tools for Linux. For each category, you'll learn what the tools do, where they fit in a document processing workflow, their strengths and trade-offs, and what to consider before choosing one. * ⚓ Peter 'CzP' Czanik ☛ Syslog-ng_hardening_using_Tor⠀⇛ For many years, I didn’t think that Tor could be useful for me. However, I’ve recently found a Gist on Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub that describes how you can use it to harden your central syslog-ng server. And while I have yet to try it, at least now I have a reason to actually test Tor. The Tor website describes the project as follows: “Protect yourself against tracking, surveillance, and censorship.” I live in a country where thankfully I do not need these, nor do I perform any activities for which Tor would be useful. However, sometimes I hear from syslog-ng users that they want to hide their logging infrastructure with something more than what mutual TLS authentication makes possible. * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ OSTechNix ☛ InnoDB_Registration_as_a_STORAGE_ENGINE_Failed:_MySQL Database_Recovery_Guide⠀⇛ As a database administrator, you may encounter the MySQL server error: Plugin 'InnoDB' registration as a STORAGE ENGINE failed This error indicates that MySQL is unable to load the InnoDB storage engine during startup. It can occur for several reasons, including corrupted InnoDB system files, damaged tablespaces, incomplete upgrades, or other issues that prevent InnoDB from initializing correctly. The exact cause can usually be identified by reviewing the MySQL error log. When this happens, the impact can range from MySQL Server failing to start completely to partial availability where tools such as MySQL Workbench can connect but queries against InnoDB tables fail. Since InnoDB is the default storage engine for most MySQL installations, this type of failure can make a large portion of a database inaccessible. This article covers hands-on experience dealing with this situation. We will start with the standard MySQL recovery approaches that should always be attempted first, then explore how Stellar Repair for MySQL performed when those methods were not sufficient. * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ WordPress ☛ WordPress_7.1_Beta_4⠀⇛ WordPress 7.1 Beta 4 is ready for download and testing!  This beta release is intended for testing and development only.

It was a busy week, with many meetings and conversations. These are some notes from Domain Name System (DNS)-related sessions that I found interesting. I’ll dive into a select set of presentations and topics in some depth, avoiding brief summaries and generalizations if I can! o ⚓ APNIC ☛ BGP_topics_from_IETF_126⠀⇛ BGP ORIGIN, ASPAs, PAVA, and ASRAs at IETF 126. o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Introduction_to_All_Things_About_bpvars,_the_R_package for_Forecasting_with_Bayesian_Panel_Vector_Autoregressions workshop⠀⇛ This session is a unique opportunity to learn to use the bpvars package for forecasting with Bayesian panel vector autoregressions in a wide range of applications spanning: [...] * § FSF / Software Freedom / Digital Sovereignty⠀➾ o ⚓ Negroni Venture Studios ☛ Sovereignty_is_a_substrate⠀⇛ A chip is not a thing you design and then own: there are a number of steps in between. A chip is a thing that gets designed, then fabricated, then packaged, then tested, and every one of those steps has its own map of organisations who can get in your way and make things grind to a halt. Britain genuinely leads in design: look at Arm, and the long tail of talent around it. But design is the most portable layer in the entire stack. Arm’s whole business is the portability: it licenses an abstraction that anyone can implement on whatever process node is going. That is a wonderful thing to own if you are running a licensing company. It is also very nearly worthless as sovereignty, because the thing you own is the thing that travels most easily. My buddy Alasdair made a version of this argument about the Rekursiv last month: if you put the value above the silicon, it outlives any particular chip. There’s an uncomfortable corollary. Put the value above the silicon and it belongs to whoever can license it, from anywhere. * § GNU Projects⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ GCC_steering_committee_announces_Hey_Hi_(AI)_policy⠀⇛ The GCC steering committee has announced that it has accepted an_AI_contributions_policy recommended by the GCC Hey Hi (AI) policy working The policy, in part, states that the project will decline any "legally significant contributions which include LLM- generated content or are derived from LLM-generated content". * § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ o § Open Data⠀➾ # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ Senate_Leaders_Push_U.S._DOT_Over_Bus_Safety Data⠀⇛ Two leading Democrats on the U.S. Senate committee that oversees transportation safety pressed the nation’s regulator of buses on Wednesday to provide proof it can detect troubled private companies that provide services to schools and municipalities. o § Open Access/Content⠀➾ # ⚓ Johnny Decimal ☛ Indicating_levels_of_Johnny.Decimal complexity⠀⇛ While the nature of the content was obviously advanced, I should have made it more obvious that this is an advanced concept and is very much optional. Most of you don't need to care, and don't need to feel like this is something you should be doing, or that you're missing out. # ⚓ Society for Scholarly Publishing ☛ Categorizing_Open_Access Business_Models⠀⇛ Tasha Mellins-Cohen offered a seven-category framework in 2024, which has proven useful for the field. Today I offer a three-category framework as an alternative, not so much in disagreement, but as a way of seeing how contours of the business model landscape have smoothed out after a period of experimentation and to aid in matching models to open access mandate requirements. In my view, models for funding open access journal article publishing can be sorted into three categories, organized by who pays and what they pay for: transactional, collective action, and subvention. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1176 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/30/Games_Starship_Simulator_Board_Game_Shelf_Analysis_Steam_Deck_M.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/30/Games_Starship_Simulator_Board_Game_Shelf_Analysis_Steam_Deck_M.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Starship Simulator, Board Game Shelf Analysis, Steam Deck, More XBox (Microsoft) Layoffs⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 30, 2026 * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Behold_The_Most_Beautifully_Ambitious_Starship_Simulator Yet⠀⇛ First, how is it played? The simulator represents the ship Halcyon Dawn, a stolen and renamed vessel, and the player representing its sole crew member. The ship’s new mission is to establish a home for its payload of genetically-engineered unfortunates, escaping a cruel sort of indentured military servitude. The former masters of course have a very different view of the whole situation, throwing around terms like “treason” and “theft” and in general preferring the version of the desperate protagonist they had the most control over. * ⚓ Wouter Groeneveld ☛ The_2026_Board_Game_Shelf_Analysis⠀⇛ The yearly recurring thing called the Board Game Shelf Analysis didn’t recur in 2023 and didn’t in 2025. I guess I don’t really like odd-numbered years but I do like to write about this now deemed as a biennial event during the summer. In 2024, I still had to make due with the smaller hallway closet. Since last year everything was moved to a bigger Kallax that’s still riddled with gaping holes: enough space left to welcome new boxes. But first we have to say our goodbyes to a few ones. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Steam_Beta_adds_HDR_streaming_on_Steam_Deck_OLED_| GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Valve just released the latest Steam Beta for all supported platforms, bringing with it some important fixes and improvements to Steam Deck OLED streaming.

I spent a lot of time reading the different takes, and I tought it would be a good idea to capture where people are regarding this matter. So, here’s a summary of the different types of takes. * ⚓ LinuxStans ☛ Valve_Never_Wanted_to_Save_Linux._backdoored_Windows_8 Forced_Its_Hand.⠀⇛ Valve never set out to save GNU/Linux gaming. It set out to save Valve. In 2012, Gabe Newell looked at what Abusive Monopolist Microsoft was building with backdoored Windows 8 and got spooked enough to start building a way out. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Valve_says_that_Steam_Machine_reservations_won't_be fulfilled_until_‘the_end_of_this_year’_—_company_also_releases_CAD_files for_the_PC_console’s_external_shell_under_Creative_Commons⠀⇛ Everyone who reserved the Steam Machine can get the chance to buy one before the year ends. Valve says availability differs between models and regions, and that some areas have already completed the reservations, meaning the company is opening the sale of the PC console to waitlisted buyers. * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ Celestial_Return:_Review⠀⇛ Celestial Return promises a hard-boiled, cyberpunk and cosmic horror game. “Count me in” when I was offered a key by the publisher.

Having comments centralized on Discourse makes it much easier for readers to discuss your posts, while also ensuring that all interactions are moderated under the GNOME_Code_of_Conduct for a safer, healthier space.

Turn it on when you want windows to arrange themselves, turn it off when you want floating windows back. The extension works with GNOME 45 and up, adding a toggle to Quick Settings to enable the auto-tiling mode. When off, you’re in floating mode (which still has tiling features). Expand the toggle to access more options or get at Mosaic’s settings. It’s the on-demand nature that makes Mosaic more interesting as a tool. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Save_and_restore_may_be_coming_to_GNOME_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ One of the features that users often miss when moving from X11 to Wayland is the ability to save and restore the position of windows between sessions. At GUADEC 2026, held in A Coruña, Spain, Adrian Vovk provided an overview of work that has gone into providing a platform-wide save and restore framework for GNOME. After two failed attempts at landing an API, he believes that the third try will be the one to succeed—though not in time for the upcoming GNOME 51 release due in October. I did not attend GUADEC in person this year, but I watched the video of Vovk's talk after it was streamed. The individual talk videos have not been posted yet, but his talk is available at 5:40 in the full video from day two of the conference. The slides from the session have not yet been posted. The idea behind the save and restore feature, Vovk said, is simple. A person is using their system and has applications open while working on something, then they need to log out of the desktop or reboot for some reason. When they log back into their desktop, they would like to restore the previous session: that is, application windows resume their previous positions and sizes, re-open the same documents, and so forth. Currently this is not possible in GNOME, at least not without additional extensions. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1534 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/30/GNU_Linux_Distributions_and_Operating_Systems_EasyOS_Slackware_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/30/GNU_Linux_Distributions_and_Operating_Systems_EasyOS_Slackware_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux Distributions and Operating Systems: EasyOS, Slackware, and Debian⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 30, 2026 * § New Releases / EasyOS⠀➾ o ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ EasyOS_Excalibur-series_version_7.4.5⠀⇛ Important fixes since 7.4.4, and new graphical installer: [...] * § Slackware Family⠀➾ o ⚓ Fuzzix ☛ Slackware64-current,_multilib,_and_perlbrew⠀⇛ Slackware64-current is multilib capable by default.

Built for modern Wayland composition, modularity, and high- performance UX, it has captured the attention of desktop enthusiasts across distributions. However, for users running Debian Testing or Debian Unstable, getting COSMIC onto their machines traditionally presents a steep hill to climb. The official upstream codebase consists of dozens of independent repositories (cosmic-comp, cosmic-panel, cosmic-applets, cosmic-settings, cosmic-files, and more) along with hundreds of Rust crate dependencies.

The common path — Golang, using kubebuilder on top of controller-runtime — gives you a project scaffold, types, and a reconciler. For typical scenarios that is more than enough. But as soon as load grows or the controller starts behaving in ways you did not expect, a whole class of edge cases shows up. Most of them trace back to the same root cause: a fuzzy mental model of how controller-runtime works inside. If you write Kubernetes controllers in Go, this article should help you build a coherent picture and avoid expensive surprises in production. * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ Wonders of Web Weaving ☛ #12:_Georgie_(hey.georgie.nu)_-_Wonders of_Web_Weaving⠀⇛ In Episode 12, I chat with Georgie, the author of Hey Georgie about, among other things, writing about travelling, blogging as a self-reflection tool, why someone should start a personal website today, and more. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ FLOSS_Weekly_Episode_877:_RCE_As_A_Service⠀⇛ This week Jonathan chats with Francois Proulx about SmokedMeat!

BSD, along with the GNU project in the 1980s, pioneered open-source development, since the code developed by the grad students and researchers at Berkeley could be redistributed, even though the Bell Labs-created portions were still proprietary. BSD was popular on workstations like those from Sun Microsystems, a company co-founded by BSD founder Bill Joy. BSD eventually eliminated the Bell Labs code. Like the other modern BSD systems, OpenBSD can trace its lineage to 386BSD, an attempt to port BSD to the PC, since with the 386 chip and its MMU, commodity PCs could now easily handle Unix-like operating systems. The project's developer, William Jolitz, was slow in providing updates, so the user community split into two main groups. One of them wanted to continue to mainly support the PC. This group became the FreeBSD project. Another wanted to support as many architectures as possible in the Unix tradition. This became the NetBSD project.

While sched_ext, in its current form, has already led to a lot of interesting scheduler-development work, the subsystem itself is still undergoing rapid evolution. Among other work, the ability to set up a hierarchy of sub-schedulers is approaching completion, and a longstanding incompatibility with proxy execution is coming to an end. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Debating_the_role_of_large_language_models_in_the_kernel community_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Like many development communities, the kernel community has been struggling to determine how large language models (LLMs) will be used in its development process. The news has been dominated recently by a strongly worded missive from Linus Torvalds on the subject, but the discussion has been rather more wide-ranging and nuanced than that. Topics that have been considered recently include the LLM attribution requirement, code-review tools, dependence on proprietary tools, and whether there is a place for concerns about the ethics of LLMs. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Attaching_programs_to_multiple_tracepoints_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Tracepoints in the kernel are useful for a variety of purposes: debugging, active monitoring, and performance measurements, among other things. Previously, any given BPF program could only be attached to a single tracepoint. Jiri Olsa has been working to change that, and led a discussion about his progress at the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit. That work has since been merged, and can be expected as part of the 7.2 kernel. Other similar facilities in the kernel support multiple attachments; kprobes in particular support it, and can do most of the same things as tracepoints. The difference is one of performance, Olsa said. Tracepoints are slower to set up, but measurably faster to execute. His slides included measurements of how many millions of executions per second each method could manage. Depending on exactly how the tracepoint and kprobe are attached, tracepoints can be about twice as fast. If tracepoints could be made to support multiple attachment without a regression in performance, they would be an attractive option for monitoring performance-sensitive operations. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Securing_BPF_LSMs_against_tampering_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Since 2020, BPF programs have been able to act as Linux security modules (LSMs). Several projects, including systemd, have been working to use that capability to provide more security to users. Christian Brauner spoke at the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit about some of the limitations of using BPF in this way, and the changes he would like to see for systemd's use. In particular, he would like a way to make sure that BPF programs cannot be removed or have their private data tampered with. When a BPF program is attached to an LSM hook or other kernel resource, it is reference-counted: if the user-space program that submitted the BPF program to the kernel closes the file descriptor for the BPF program (for example, because it crashed), the BPF program is cleaned up automatically. This design keeps things tidy and prevents BPF programs from being leaked, but it exposes a point of vulnerability for BPF LSMs. In addition, it is often possible to interfere with a BPF program's execution by altering the data it has stored in BPF maps in unexpected ways. BPF maps are often used for communication with user-space programs, but they can also be used to store auxiliary data for the BPF program itself, and the BPF program can rely on the correctness of that data. Brauner would like to see both of these behaviors changed, so that BPF security programs, once installed, cannot be trivially circumvented. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Merging_famfs?_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ The famfs filesystem, which is meant to provide shared access to huge memory-resident files on CXL and other devices, returned to the Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF) in 2026. It was first discussed at LSFMM+BPF 2024 and a new implementation was described at the 2025 gathering, but it still has not made its way into the kernel; LWN looked at a discussion about merging famfs back in April 2026. John Groves began the session by noting that he is the creator and maintainer of famfs, which is the ""fabric-attached memory filesystem"". He works for Micron, which makes devices with large pools of memory that are accessible to multiple servers; those products are coming soon, though early access to them is available to some. There are some ""interesting management challenges"" for such devices and famfs is meant to allow Linux users to handle them. Since last year's summit, he has become the co-chair of the software and systems working group for the CXL Consortium; ""they had the bad judgment to elect me to that"", he said with a grin.

abreast of the latest state of open-source operating systems. The first time I used Linux as my daily driver OS was during my postgraduate studies, where the little netbook I took to class could only handle Linux and not Windows. Today, Linux for desktop computers is a real alternative to Windows, though its market share gains remain slow. The worse people's perceptions of Windows gets, the more attractive Linux and its promise of a bloat-free operating system becomes. However, I think that while it does indeed have little or none of what we think of as "bloat," it does have plenty of issues that are annoying in the same way as Windows bloat can be. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2372 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/30/Much_Ado_Over_AMD_Linux_Patch_Because_of_Steam_Deck.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/30/Much_Ado_Over_AMD_Linux_Patch_Because_of_Steam_Deck.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Much Ado Over AMD Linux Patch (Because of Steam Deck)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 30, 2026 * ⚓ Ars Technica ☛ New_AMD_Linux_patch_boosts_low-end_gaming_performance_on Steam_Deck⠀⇛ As the Steam Deck slowly marches toward its fifth birthday next February, owners are likely eager for a way to extend its life rather than investing in expensive high-end competition. A new patch for AMD’s Linux drivers could substantially reduce low- end frame hitches when the Steam Deck or other AMD-based gaming hardware is running in Energy Performance Preference (EPP) mode. * ⚓ New_Linux_Patches_Boost_1%_Low_Framerates_On_Steam_Deck_By_31%⠀⇛ There are some wizards that are out there developing Linux drivers. I still remember when Linux was laughed at when it came to gaming performance, but here we are with tools like Proton, DXVK, and vkd3d that make it possible to play Windows games on Linux. On top of that, developers are optimizing consistently, with one of the more significant developments happening in April from Natalie Vick that optimized how VRAM is used and could improve handling on the Steam Deck. Now, there’s been a new development, and it could be massive for improving 1% low framerates and reducing stutters. * ⚓ New_Linux_patch_could_reduce_stuttering_on_Steam_Deck_thanks_to improved_1%_lows_performance⠀⇛ The Steam Deck already delivers a solid gaming experience thanks to SteamOS and Valve’s ongoing software updates. On top of that, Linux developers continue to find new ways to improve performance. Now, a newly proposed Linux kernel patch could make games feel much smoother on the Steam Deck by significantly improving 1% low frame rates, which are often responsible for stuttering during gameplay. * ⚓ Linux_CPU_Driver_Patches_Massively_Reduce_Game_Stuttering_on_Steam Deck⠀⇛ In recent years, community-supported work on components like drivers and kernel improvements have made Linux distributions like SteamOS especially viable as gaming operating systems. Now, a new set of driver patches has been shared to the Linux kernel mailing list, and the developer behind the patches, David Vernet, claims to have improved 1% lows on AMD CPUs by as much as 31%. The new patches, which introduce the epp_boost feature to the AMD P-State driver, aim to improve CPU performance by improving CPU scaling and CPU boost behavior through identifying busy cores and enabling EPP boost on a per- core basis as needed. * ⚓ XDA ☛ This_Linux_kernel_patch_could_give_the_Steam_Deck_a_surprising performance_boost⠀⇛ At this point, the Steam Deck and its custom AMD APU are pretty old by PC hardware standards, coming in at roughly four and a half years. This means that the handheld can often struggle to play modern games smoothly at decent graphics settings. However, a new set of driver patches shared through the Linux Kernel mailing list claim to have improved 1% lows on AMD CPUs by as much as 31% with some games (via Phoronix). The new patches, which bring the epp_boost feature to the AMD P-State driver, boost CPU performance by improving CPU scaling and boost behavior by targeting busy cores and enabling Energy Performance Preference (EPP) when it's actually needed. David Vernet, a Linux kernel hacker at Meta and the developer behind these patches, explains the update like this in the Linux kernel mailing list as follows: * ⚓ PC Gamer ☛ Linux_kernel_patch_can_boost_the_Steam_Deck's_1%_low_frame rate_by_as_much_as_31%_in_early_testing⠀⇛ A number of recent Linux driver patches has reportedly resulted in significant performance gains for the Steam Deck. Valve's handheld runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, and these patches can apparently improve the Steam Deck's 1% low frame rates by as much as 31%. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2480 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/30/Open_Hardware_Modding_Arduino_Raspberry_Pi_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/30/Open_Hardware_Modding_Arduino_Raspberry_Pi_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 30, 2026 * ⚓ Arduino ☛ Meet_Yadro_Team:_young_robotics_inventors_from_Uzbekistan, building_tech_that_matters⠀⇛ Sometimes, the most exciting projects we come across don’t come from well-funded labs or established companies – but rather from teenagers in a workshop, figuring things out because they genuinely want to solve something real. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ Arduino_Core_on_Zephyr_0.90.0_is_officially_stable_and leaving_beta⠀⇛ We are thrilled to announce the release of version 0.90.0 of the ArduinoCore-zephyr. This is a major milestone: we are officially exiting the beta phase and marking the core as stable. Achieving this goal is the culmination of months of testing, architectural refinement, and community feedback. * ⚓ Task And Purpose ☛ 101st_Airborne_troops_will_stay_in_3D-printed barracks_at_border⠀⇛ Two new 3D-printed barracks buildings at Fort Bliss, Texas, which opened on Tuesday, are built for transient soldiers who are not permanently assigned to the base, Army officials said in a release. The service signed a $62.8 million contract with construction company ICON to build 10 barracks that can hold 560 troops. * ⚓ Thomas Buck ☛ Glove80_USB_Dongle⠀⇛ The dongle is plugged into an ugly hack consisting of two portable USB hubs, hidden behind my display, connected to my PC using a USB extension. This has been holding my webcam, AutoBrightness and a Logitech dongle. And now this keyboard dongle as well. * ⚓ Hackster ☛ Run_a_Local_LLM_on_Raspberry_Pi’s_Bare_Metal_—_Linux_Not Necessary⠀⇛ I’ll be the first to tell you LLMs deserve serious ethical consideration. But most ethical concerns disappear when you run the LLM locally on your own hardware. And you don’t need a crazy powerful rig to do that, because there are many lightweight LLMs that will run on single-board computers (SBCs). However, a good chunk of the SBC’s resources are used by the operating system the LLM runs on. That’s why centoslinux built NightRun to boot local LLMs directly on a Raspberry Pi’s bare metal. This is something I didn’t even know was possible and it is pretty incredible. In short, NightRun lets you run some local LLMs on a Raspberry Pi 5 SBC without Linux or any operating system at all. Not only does that mean you don’t have to wait for an entire operating system to boot up, but it also means the LLM doesn’t need to share resources with the operating system. Linux is great and lightweight distros get by with very little, but the OS will still eat up some resources and the LLM needs everything it can get. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2566 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/30/Private_Law_Firms_Are_Not_Judges.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/30/Private_Law_Firms_Are_Not_Judges.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Private Law Firms Are Not Judges⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 30, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇York⦈_ Yesterday I issued_a_couple_of_statements_on_a_new_decision, soon to see ludicrous_things_said_in_social_control_media_and_a_very_angry,_upset, frustrated_law_firm.

I don’t enjoy rebasing with git. It feels uncomfortable and risky. Admittedly, I’m not super experienced at it, and I have some emotional scars from failing at complicated rebases in years past. With jj, on the other hand, rebasing has become an easy, default, and almost joyful way of working. * ⚓ Naveen Srinivasan ☛ How_Do_I_Profile_eBPF_Code?⠀⇛ The goal of the code example above is to keep it simple and reopen the same file under warm cache conditions, minimizing unrelated filesystem and disk I/O variability and helping identify the p50/p99. The code invokes syscall(SYS_openat, …) instead of the libc openat() wrapper, and the first 10% of the results are discarded as a warmup period. This test harness would produce results of opening a file x number of times and how long it took to open. So we could use this to measure the before and after of when the eBPF hook attached. * ⚓ Ben Deane ☛ const_cast:_A_Necessary_Evil⠀⇛ We don’t like const_cast much. It’s ugly, and can even lead to undefined behaviour. But unfortunately sometimes it’s needed. Even aside from interacting with C libraries which don’t respect const, there is at least one place in the C++ standard that requires you to use it. * § R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Thinking_inside_the_box⠀⇛ RcppDate ships the featureful date library written by Howard Hinnant to enable use from R packages. This header-only modern C++ library has been in pretty wide- spread use for a while now, and adds to C++11, C++14 and C++17 what is (with minor modifications) the ‘date’ library in C++20. The RcppDate package adds no extra R or C++ code and can therefore be a zero-cost dependency for any other project; yet a number of other projects decided to re-vendor it resulting in less-efficient duplication.

The malware, dubbed Tengu, was discovered by a machine-learning system the company uses to identify malware families that do not match known signatures. Researchers first observed the dropper reaching their honeypots through Telnet credential brute-force attacks. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ I_invited_hackers_to_attack_my_home_server,_and_the results_were_a_wake-up_call⠀⇛ Self-hosting is both an entertaining hobby if you like computers, and a reasonable way to save a few dollars if you swap out your subscription services for something you host yourself. It does come with a bit of risk, however, if you put your self-hosted services online so they're accessible from the internet.

Recent supply chain events affecting NodeJS and Python packages have been detected and removed within hours. However, while those packages were available to the general public, it’s possible that they were installed by users, creating the potential for a security incident. As you will see from the data that follows, if users had waited 1 day before accessing those packages, none of the recent supply chain security events would have had an impact. o ⚓ Microsoft_Defender_for_Endpoint_on_Linux_Bug_Disables_Threat Protection⠀⇛ Microsoft is investigating two issues affecting Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Linux, including a newly confirmed bug that could leave some systems without active threat protection after a reboot.

I still find the form factor extremely pleasant. The laptop just feels nice, and the display and the keyboard are superb. The laptop also copes with all the modern challenges super easily. Not that I would expect anything less from a computer from 2023. After all, I have machines in their double-digit age, and with SSD, they work superbly well, even now. So, I expect this laptop to continue working loyally for another decade, at least. And with slow, steady improvements in the operating system, it just might. in the past couple of months, I've mostly encountered good speed, good battery life, fewer issues with the firmware, and a handful of fresh bugs. Other than that, the system works great. I'm having fun. In fact, I am slowly increasing my overall Linux usage, as I've pretty much delegated all and any Windows work save for gaming to the open-source world, and a Macbook's there as heavy backup, in case some things decide not to cooperate fully with Ubuntu. But so far, it's going fairly well. He he, I just might enjoy as much of my time with Linux as I can, while I can. The way things are proceeding worldwide, there might not be any free Internet left in a couple of years. Apart from the "approved" and "verified" Web for the plebs, of course.

It does not surprise me at all that people who despise and attack women also lack_empathy_for_animals. We need a world wherein immoral people are punished, whereas people who expose the immorality are rewarded (not necessarily in financial terms). This is one good reason to vote today.

And while I think it's a great discovery tool, it's a terrible way to judge the quality of a distro. Many distros I would never recommend are ranked higher than objectively better alternatives. Here are three Linux distros that are far better than their DistroWatch rankings suggest.

But Not For The Distro — Ubuntu is one of the most stable Linux distros out there, provided you're running its LTS release. Now imagine giving that up for a rolling release model. Feels exciting, right? Stop fantasizing then, as today's not the day that happens. Instead, Canonical's latest announcement introduces a rolling release approach for the virtualization stack, which swaps the usual LTS cycle for a faster, six-month upgrade cycle. Confidential computing is the driving force behind this move, as Canonical's Ijlal Loutfi emphasizes that the different pieces of the stack rarely arrive at the same time.

We were all unhappy about Brexit and hoped that maybe the counting of votes (in the referendum) would be overturned later in the day. In hindsight, the EU did not turn out to be the monster that Boris Johnson et al said it would become. Politics of hate and division got their way though; our national economy has worsened since then. Earlier today Rianne and I voted against hate.

The work of [Alun Morris], it was an ESP32-powered Cheap Black Display board, and it was running a web browser. Definitely an achievement. o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ PC World ☛ Firefox_153_brings_HDR_video,_QR_code_sharing, and_63_security_fixes⠀⇛ PCWorld reports Firefox 153 introduces HDR video playback for Windows, QR code generation for easy link sharing, and enhanced PDF editing capabilities including file merging. # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ About:Community:_Community_Roundup:_Project_Nova, Tab_Groups_&_more⠀⇛ Firefox keeps evolving, and the community continues to play a big part in shaping what’s next.
