- Fedora Magazine — We (being Justin & Shaun) will work in a transitional phase together from now until the release month of Fedora Linux 45, currently planned for October 2026. During this time, we will shift our focuses to ensure a smooth handoff for key community operations, including event logistics, budget management, and both Fedora Council and CentOS board representation. Shaun McCance will step into the role of Fedora Community Architect. Many may already know Shaun as a longtime person in our community, bringing experience and context from GNOME, a major Fedora upstream project. He also brings significant experience in community event execution, budget management, and existing expertise as the CentOS Community Architect. He will take over the permanent FCA seat on the Fedora Council and Fedora Mindshare Committee, chair the Code of Conduct Committee, lead the annual planning of the Flock to Fedora conference, and continue the financial stewardship of our project resources.

This document is open to public feedback (if any) for a minimum of two weeks. If there are no significant changes to be made to the policy based on community feedback after Thursday, 13 August 2026, this policy will go to a formal ticket vote for Council to approve or reject. If there are significant changes to be made to the document, Council will review the policy and, if necessary, extend the feedback period before calling for an official vote. Please provide feedback on the discussion post. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Firefox_and_Thunderbird_as_RHEL_Flatpaks:_What_it means_for_you⠀⇛ When you install RHEL 10.2 with a GNOME desktop, Firefox and Thunderbird are delivered as Flatpaks as part of the installation process. If your system has an active RHEL subscription, this happens automatically—no manual login, no credential management, no extra configuration. Your existing subscription entitlement handles registry access. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Why_self-hosted_inference_is_essential:_Building_a reliable,_sovereign_inference_layer [Ed: Slop slop slop.]⠀⇛ I have watched this play out. A team builds an agent on LangChain or CrewAI. It works in development. It passes staging. Then someone asks the obvious question: where is inference actually running? The answer, almost every time, is a third-party hosted API—OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google. Not because the team prefers it, but because open-weight models running on their own infrastructure weren't reliable enough for agentic workloads. The framework handles orchestration. The hosted API handles inference. Neither is under the organization's control. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Make_every_GPU-hour_count:_Progress_tracking_in_Red Hat_OpenShift_AI [Ed: Red Hat peddling slop nonstop]⠀⇛ Monday morning, she opens her laptop. The model had stopped learning sometime Friday night, but the job kept running—burning through 2 full days of GPU time on a training run that was going nowhere. That's over $1,500 in wasted compute, and she has to start over. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Optimize_GPU_efficiency_with_OpenShift_Hey_Hi_(AI)_and_llm- d_flow-control⠀⇛ Modern model serving is highly optimized using inference frameworks like llm-d and vLLM. These serving tools allow organizations to share a single model instance across hundreds or even thousands of concurrent users and applications, each with unique requirements. Imagine a model being used by two development teams, one to routinely summarize documents, and the other as a chatbot for debugging code. When the first team's routine summarizations are taking place, the noisy-neighbor problem occurs and the request time for the second team's chatbot could rise exponentially, potentially degrading the expected level of service. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ High_hardware_costs_see_Red_Hat_offer_a_two-server edge_rig,_no_mini-PC_required⠀⇛ Red Hat has come up with a way to reduce the quantity of servers needed for high-availability edge deployments of its OpenShift platform, because its customers worry about high hardware costs. The IBM business unit’s Daniel Froehlich and Paul Lancaster last week introduced Red Hat’s approach in a post that saw the pair observe interest in “alternative topologies for large- scale edge deployments” due to “the prohibitive cost of powering, maintaining, and deploying a third node across hundreds or thousands of sites – a motivation that has only grown stronger in light of the recent steep increase in hardware prices.” ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 716 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/31/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.1.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/31/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jul 31, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇city_view⦈_ * ⚓ termrain_-_terminal_weather_application⠀⇛ termrain is a terminal weather application that combines detailed forecasts with an interactive rain radar.

This is an interface that has been improved considerably over the years. In Emacs version 31, this interface gets some nice new features which make it even more appealing to use. Below is the article I prepared for this video, with all the code samples. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Solving_my_problem_with_the_Emacs_Lisp_byte compilation_checker⠀⇛ I will skip ahead to the solution; since I normally use Flycheck, I fixed this by setting flycheck-emacs-lisp- initialize-packages to t, which works in my particular setup and for what I do with Emacs Lisp (but might not for you). The rest of this entry is the background explanation. * ⚓ Frank Delporte ☛ Sheetmusic4J_0.0.3:_ABC_Notation,_Guitar_Pro, Engraving_Improvements⠀⇛ Last week I introduced Sheetmusic4J , a Java(FX) library to render and interact with sheet music. That first 0.0.1 release was really a question more than a product: is there any interest in a native Java(FX) sheet music library before I invest more time in it? So I shared it on social media and waited to see what would come back. * ⚓ Frank Delporte ☛ MelodyMatrix_1.2.0_and_1.2.1:_Learn_Section Groundwork,_Playback_Improvements,_and_a_Startup_Fix⠀⇛ Two MelodyMatrix releases went out last week, one right after the other. 1.2.0 brings the first steps toward a Learn section, some playback improvements, and initial MusicXML support. 1.2.1 followed a day later to fix a startup issue that 1.2.0 itself introduced. * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ FOSS_Weekly_#26.31:_Ubuntu_26.10_Features,_OpenUK,_Graphene Trouble,_Vibe_Coded_GNU/Linux_and_More⠀⇛ Ubutnu 26.10 is shaping up nicely. * § Events⠀➾ o ⚓ Bootlin ☛ Netconf_2026_and_Netdev_0x1a⠀⇛ From the 13th to 16th of July in Rome, Italy, 130 GNU/ Linux Kernel developers specialized in networking gathered at the Netdev 0x1a Conference, accompanied by 50 people attending remotely. * § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ o ⚓ Please_participate_in_a_survey_about_LibreOffice_Base⠀⇛ In the past we run several surveys to better understand the use cases for Calc, Impress, Draw, and Writer templates.

Unlike many previous attacks, this issue did not require plugins, authentication, or third-party code, making affected core installations particularly vulnerable. Security patches were released in WordPress 6.9.5 and 7.0.2. o ⚓ Robert Birming ☛ Robeart_-_my_take_on_Bear's_default_theme⠀⇛ Robeart is my take on Bear's default theme.

Associate members and donors enable us to run the infrastructure for the GNU Project and the Free Software Directory, maintain the FSF Licensing & Compliance Lab — the preeminent resource for free software developers — and allow us to protect and expand user freedom through our many campaigns and projects, including LibrePhone, Defective by Design, Fight to Repair, and LibreLocal. * § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ o § Open Access/Content⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ What_20_Million_Bans_Reveal_About_The_Stress_On Wikipedia’s_Volunteers⠀⇛ As Wikipedia has become more prominent, its resistance to top-down control has made it a target for people who have political or financial power. There is frequent news about takedown demands and censorship abroad, investigations and threats to its nonprofit status in the U.S., and, outside the U.S., volunteers have been arrested and imprisoned. The Wikipedia community is also sensitive to its rising importance, but not in the way you might think. Contributors are keenly aware of political rhetoric that takes aim at their project or threatens volunteers. But the chief effect on volunteers has been a sense of heightened obligation to their global readership, which has gradually increased quality standards. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ SQ Magazine ☛ Why_Domain_Name_Security_Is_Critical Infrastructure⠀⇛ Domain names are not a marketing tool. Domain names are the basis of trust for almost all systems that have your name on them: email authentication, SSO, TLS certificates, API endpoints, password reset workflows, and in crypto-native companies, the frontend which the users link their wallet to. Control over the domain name is control over the identity. o ⚓ Maury ☛ You_have_been_mislead_about_lightbulbs⠀⇛ This is wrong, but it's the type of wrong that cites its sources and hides in the part you'd never think to fact check: The assumption that a longer lasting lightbulb is a good product. In truth, increasing the lifespan of a bulb makes it worse in every other way... but people think they want a long lasting lightbulb: the purpose of standardizing was (primarly) to avoid a race to the bottom. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1114 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/31/GNU_Linux_and_BSD_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/31/GNU_Linux_and_BSD_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux and BSD Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 31, 2026 * § Desktop/Laptop⠀➾ o ⚓ System76 ☛ System76_goes_to_college_–_a_case_study⠀⇛ When we at System76 hear “Back to School,” our first reaction is, “We’re already there.” Or at least our products are – at college campuses across America, everywhere from students’ backpacks to STEM classrooms to top research labs. In fact, over our company’s two-decade history, we’ve supplied Linux computer hardware to 99% of the nation’s Tier 1 research universities. Faculty and researchers know that our computers provide the ultimate Linux computing experience: the latest high- powered CPUs and GPUs, generous RAM and storage for heavy data workloads, stunning OLED displays, freedom to customize and repair, and our Pop!_OS and COSMIC desktop experience to complete the Linux ecosystem stack. * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ The BSD Now Podcast ☛ BSD_Now_674:_Software_development_never changes⠀⇛ Scrub Design, WebZFS Updates, The Foundations role in the FreeBSD Ecosystem, and more... * § Games⠀➾ o ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Keychron_Built_Open_Source_Firmware_for_Gaming_Mice, and_GNU/Linux_Users_Stand_to_Gain_the_Most⠀⇛ Built on Zephyr RTOS and licensed under GPL-3.0, the firmware is scheduled to ship first on the Keychron G6 HE next year.

MakuluLinux developer Jacque Montague Raymer released the innovative AI-OS on July 29, built around a highly configurable Cinnamon desktop and a Linux Mint Debian (LMDE) variant base. This new distro provides an embedded artificial intelligence (AI) environment that can perform a wide range of tasks by typing a plain-language request into the floating widget on the desktop. o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ Undeadly ☛ LLVM_toolchain_coming_to_OpenBSD/sparc64⠀⇛ Yes, you read that right. Modern development tools in the form of the LLVM compiler infrastructure is well on its way to supporting OpenBSD/sparc64 along with other more conventional architectures. The support is now ready for testing, via a patch set presented by Kirill A. Korinsky (kirill@) in a message to the tech@ mailing list, with the subject LLVM toolchain for sparc64. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1244 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/31/GNU_Planet_A_warm_thank_you_and_welcome.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/31/GNU_Planet_A_warm_thank_you_and_welcome.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU Planet: A warm thank you and welcome!⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jul 31, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇FREE_SOFTWARE_FOUNDATION⦈_ Quoting: A warm thank you and welcome! — Free Software Foundation — Working together for free software — Please join us in celebrating all our associate members and donors.

Linux has no shortage of documentation, but much of it assumes prior knowledge or expects you to piece together information from multiple sources. But now, instead of you jumping between forum posts, GitHub repositories, and wikis, you can ask an LLM to explain unfamiliar concepts, adapt instructions to your setup, and even automate repetitive configuration tasks. Now, if you'd like to try this workflow yourself, here's the Claude Code prompt I used to customize my Linux PC.

If you don't like an app, you can simply download another one and give it a try without having to purchase or subscribe to anything. Over time, you end up trying so many apps that you get a good feeling as to what you look for in open-source software, and that's when you settle down. But before then, there's the notion of "hopping." It's when you have that gnawing feeling of FOMO, the sensation that you're one change away from finding the perfect solution. And while I've eventually grown tired of distro hopping, the desire to go desktop environment hopping keeps burning strong. It's a lot easier to do, at any rate.

Such is the case with Linux Mint, which recently rolled out version 7.0.0-28 of the Linux kernel.

But the basic screenshots are not always directly ready to include in my articles. These screenshots often require updates, like a frame, a highlight, arrows, or an annotation. And while many of the more comprehensive graphic editing applications for Linux, such as GIMP, Krita, and Inkscape, have everything you need to manipulate a screenshot to your liking, they are often overkill for such a relatively small task. And that is where Gradia steps into the gap of simple but effective solutions. Gradia is designed and created by Alexander Vanhee for the Linux desktop and focuses on only one thing. Gradia is able to make your screenshots in only a couple of clicks look exactly like you need. Gradia is in my opinion one of these single purpose apps that helps you transform plain screenshots into visually appealing, polished images without the need for heavy editing tools. So let’s see why.

In some places across the country there are some very ardent right-wing elements (like the place where Daniel Pocock_tries_to_win_a_seat; he's not right-wing at all), but in my experience - in light of economic realities - people want change that isn't scapegoating but fairer distribution of national wealth. The UK remains a rich country; the problem is the distribution of its national resources, including_income_tax. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Voting_at_Manchester ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⢿⣿⠟⡛⢻⣿⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⡿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⠿⠿⠿⣿⡿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣟⠻⣧⣤⡞⢹⡄⣃⣠⠙⣷⣤⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡀⢿⣿⣿⢃⢸⣿⣿⢇⣆⢻⣿⣿⢠⠹⣿⣿⢸⡿⢡⣶⣿⣷⣾⡇⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⠱⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⡆⣿⣿⣿⢰⣿⣿⣿⡇⣾⣿⡆⢹⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣟⠳⡄⢦⣿⠻⡌⢻⣿⢻⡿⣁⣶⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⡘⣿⠏⣾⢸⣿⡏⣘⣛⡈⣿⣿⢸⣷⡹⣿⢸⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣭⣭⣭⡅⣿⡇⣭⣭⣽⣿⣷⣮⣝⢿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⢨⣭⣭⣿⡇⣙⣋⢡⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡉⡏⣷⣿⣦⡉⠉⢱⣬⡉⢉⡉⣿⣟⡾⣭⣹⣿⣿⣇⣿⣧⠙⣼⣿⢸⡟⣰⣿⣿⣷⣸⣿⢸⣿⣷⡉⢸⣿⣌⡛⠿⠟⣻⡇⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⡇⠻⠿⠿⣿⡛⠿⢛⣸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⠘⠿⠿⢿⡇⣿⣿⣧⡙⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣾⣡⡾⣟⡫⠿⢤⡻⣿⢯⣄⣼⣶⢻⣿⡝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣯⣴⡞⣫⣇⣸⢄⠳⣌⢧⣽⠷⢰⣎⢱⣷⣿⣿⣿⢋⣵⣮⣿⢹⣿⡏⢹⣿⣏⢿⢏⣿⣿⠏⣥⣾⣽⢫⣵⣮⡙⡏⢹⣿⡏⣿⢉⢻⣿⢹⡟⣭⣶⣽⡏⣿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣟⠳⠿⠛⢉⣀⢠⣬⢀⣀⠙⠻⠭⠒⣿⣿⣿⣿⡘⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⡄⣾⣿⣿⡘⢿⣿⣿⠸⣿⣿⢃⣇⢸⣿⠇⣿⢸⣧⠻⢸⡇⢿⣿⣿⡇⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣾⣿⣿⣦⣤⣾⣿⣿⣶⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣾⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣾⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣾⣿⣷⣾⣿⣶⣶⣾⣷⣿⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠉⠉⢉⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡍⠀⢀⠀⢀⣼⣶⣦⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⡠⠄⣀⡀⣀⣀⣀⢀⠀⡄⡀⣀⢀⣀⡀⣀⢀⢀⢠⢀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢀⣿⣷⣿⣿⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢛⣫⡿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠑⠃⠘⠃⠛⠑⠛⠀⠀⠐⠀⠛⠀⠛⠂⠘⠛⠘⠚⠚⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⡟⠛⠛⣛⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣧⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢎⡡⡲⡖⢲⣗⢾⡖⣶⡦⣺⢀⠷⢆⣾⣺⠂⣒⠐⡗⡲⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡄⠀⠀⠀⣄⢠⠀⣀⠀⢀⡀⣀⠀⢠⠄⢀⣀⣀⣠⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⡟⡧⢤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠋⠛⠘⠋⠋⠊⠃⠛⠀⠘⠂⠐⠊⠂⠚⠑⠙⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠁⠈⠷⠿⠛⠛⡐⠂⠀⠀⠈⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢞⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠴⠰⠰⠴⠰⠰⠦⡤⠲⠰⠆⡆⠴⠔⠲⠢⠢⠐⠔⠲⠠⠶⠔⡄⠲⠦⠢⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣦⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣸⣧⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣄⢄⠤⢠⡄⡄⡠⣄⣤⣠⡄⣄⣤⡤⡠⡤⡠⡤⢠⡤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠞⢱⠖⣾⠀⠉⣢⡠⣤⠀⠀⠀⠐⣤⣼⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡝⣛⠛⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⢸⠀⠀⠀⢀⡠⠤⣟⢠⢤⣵⢷⢹⢹⢱⣝⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⡇⠀⠈⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡛⠃⠉⠠⣰⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⠘⡀⠀⠀⠐⠃⠉⠿⣾⣞⢫⣹⣶⣏⢯⢻⡖⡮⠅⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⡇⡄⠀⢿⣗⣰⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⣠⣧⡲⡃⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⡟⡾⠈⣿⠹⢟⡬⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣶⣿⡇⠃⢰⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⢀⣀⠀⢀⠈⡽⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠐⠚⠉⠀⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠎⣍⣹⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⡃⣙⣻⣿⣴⣞⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣧⣤⣤⢄⡀⡀⢼⣦⣄⣤⣤⠄⣠⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣶⣧⢀⠀⢹⣾⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣽⣿⣯⣼⣇⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢊⡹⠰⣿⠆⣉⠅⢎⡱⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⡭⠚⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⣿⣿⠟⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡌⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡎⡿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠋⢁⣃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1875 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/31/Open_Hardware_Modding_ESP32_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/31/Open_Hardware_Modding_ESP32_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: ESP32 and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 31, 2026 * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Luxonis_M8_Controller_Box_adds_industrial_I/Os,_CAN_Bus, and_relay_control_to_OAK4_Hey_Hi_(AI)_vision_cameras⠀⇛ Luxonis has introduced a prototype of the M8 Controller Box, an industrial I/O expansion module for OAK4 Hey Hi (AI) vision edge Hey Hi (AI) cameras powered by a Qualcomm DragonWing QCS8550. Connected through the camera’s M8 interface, it adds GPIO, relay, CAN, serial, and USB connectivity, allowing OAK4- based systems to interface directly with sensors, actuators, PLCs, motors, and other industrial equipment for machine vision and automation applications. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ DFRobot_seeMote_Cube_tracks_motion_and_sends_haptic feedback_in_visionOS⠀⇛ The DFRobot seeMote Cube is a handheld spatial input device for Apple Vision Pro application development. The 56mm cube combines six-degree-of-freedom tracking, six programmable buttons, Bluetooth connectivity, and app-controlled haptic feedback for interacting with virtual objects and tools in visionOS. * ⚓ RTL-SDR ☛ Building_a_$50_BOM_Software_Defined_Radio_with_a_HT9201_20 MHz_ADC_and_an_FX2LP_USB_Controller_Clone⠀⇛ The RF side is a discrete Tayloe detector built around a TLV3253 analog switch, sampling the signal four times per local oscillator cycle to give downconversion and quadrature in one step. A Si5351 provides two clocks offset by 90 degrees from the same PLL, an ADA4891 op amp buffers into a HT9201 dual 20 MHz 10-bit ADC, and an FX2LP clone streams the parallel data over USB 2.0, avoiding the cost and tool chain of an FPGA. USB bandwidth forces a choice between 20 MHz at 8 bits or 10 MHz at 10 bits, and he notes that PCB design was critical in getting a flat frequency response. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Rebuilding_An_Obsolete_IC_To_Save_A_Betacam_SP_Tapedeck⠀⇛ The Sony BVW-75 VTR had an odd flaw where the output lacked colour, unless paused with dynamic tracking off. Then colour would appear, but only in odd stripes. Clearly the chroma circuit was at fault. Some sluthing found that a sync separator IC– that separates the sync pulses that keep everything moving together, if the name didn’t give it away– wasn’t behaving correctly. More sluthing found that the chip in question was no longer available. Luckily, the concept of a sync separator hasn’t quite given up the ghost, and another part was available. It just didn’t fit, used a different voltage, and had an inverted output. No biggie! [ldursw] added a voltage regulator, an inverter, and a video amplifier chip, then after breadboard testing put them on a PCB with pins that match the original IC’s form-factor, making it a plug-in replacement. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Pizza_Eye_Surgery_Saves_Hemispherical_Projector⠀⇛ The saga started long ago, back in 2017, when [Jamie] got ahold of a Gekkin WorldEye hemispherical projector. It looks like those were meant for the educational market, to show planets and the like, but [Jamie] instead put a big eye on it, thanks in part to work by [PaintYourDragon]. It looked great, as you can see from the demo video embedded below. There it sat, staring down patrons for nine long years, until the power company did what is known in the business as “an oopsie” and turned the WorldEye into an expensive paperweight. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ RC_Telemetry_Board_Lets_Virtual_Crewmember_Help_You_Race Better⠀⇛ Open RC Spotter is an ESP32-based hardware platform for high performance RC car racing that reads from various sensors (including IMU, GPS, temperature, battery, and IR receiver for IR lap beacons) to create a filtered stream of readings that include position, velocity, lap time, battery voltage, and more. Got RC car telemetry? Feed it to a virtual race engineer for real-time voice feedback. This data gets logged to an SD card, but can also be broadcast wirelessly via ESP-NOW to a receiver that can in turn send it over serial USB, or do whatever else one wishes. There’s also a neat feature that fires up a temporary WiFi access point on demand so log files can be downloaded with a web browser, no need to hook up a cable. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Use_Your_Head_While_Trimming_Trees⠀⇛ Since he’s riding down the bike path anyway, the original thought was to add a trimmer to the front of the bicycle. This has a notable downside of being dangerous to others, so instead he added a string trimmer to his helmet. The electric trimmer was scavenged from an old handheld landscaping tool, with a 3D printed mount designed in CAD to cleanly mount to his bicycle helmet. It’s wired to a control on the handlebar, so when a branch is coming up it can be activated by hand and then pruned without much thought other than properly aiming one’s head. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_Capable_KVM_Built_With_The_ESP32⠀⇛ The concept is straightforward. Named the ESPKVM, the device is designed to hook up to a computer’s HDMI and USB ports. It captures the video output, while presenting itself as a standard keyboard and mouse device. In this way, it allows remote control of the machine over IP. It achieves this feat with the aid of the Toshiba TC358743 HDMI-to-CSI bridge, which is essentially the video capture hardware of the build. * ⚓ Jussi Pakkanen ☛ Fixing_a_super_8_projector_from_the_70s⠀⇛ My dad started using a super 8 film camera as early as 1967 (the system was launched in 1965). He stopped doing it in the 1980s as it became pretty much impossible to buy film. Ever since then the films have been stored in multiple cardboard boxes in his basement. Recently he moved to a smaller apartment so all the films and related hardware had to go somewhere else. Namely, to me. Here is a representative sample. * ⚓ Marcin Juszkiewicz ☛ New_keyboard:_Alicja_v2⠀⇛ I loaded files created by KLE NG and it turned out that making a PCB for a new keyboard is quite simple: [...] * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ ESP-KVM_–_An_open-source_IP_KVM_solution_based_on_ESP32- P4_RISC-V_MCU⠀⇛ Earlier this month, the P4 KVM project was brought to my attention. It provides IP KVM functionality to a Waveshare ESP32-P4-WIFI6-POE-ETH board when paired with a Toshiba TC358743 HDMI-to-CSI adapter. However, it doesn’t work with the new ESP32-P4 V3.x variants featuring a proper H.264 video encoding implementation, and the developer (Jonathan Rowny) says it’s just a proof-of-concept with many bugs and no security, so I decided to skip it. The good news is that he also encouraged others to fork the project, and Evgenij Spitsyn did just that with the release of the ESP-KVM project, which supports both MJPEG and H.264 encoding and a range of other features. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ NightRun_UEFI_application_boots_a_local_LLM_on_Raspberry Pi_5_and_x86_PCs_without_an_OS⠀⇛ Running LLMs locally on an SBC or mini PC is a good way to keep your data private, but they typically require a conventional operating system, which uses a good portion of system memory. NightRun is an experimental open-source project that addresses this issue by booting a machine directly into a local LLM from a USB drive or microSD card, without loading a conventional OS. By removing the operating system, NightRun makes more RAM and memory bandwidth available for Hey Hi (AI) inference. The runtime is written in Rust, and during boot it loads a quantized model (1.3 GB to 2.4 GB) directly into RAM while verifying its CRC-32 checksums. After the model is loaded, storage is “sealed,” meaning any later attempt to read from the disk will trigger a hard fault. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2070 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/31/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/31/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 31, 2026 * ⚓ Ivan Sagalaev ☛ Categorization_with_NLP⠀⇛ Since launching my categorization tool Shoppy I've had some fun analyzing collected data which resulted in considerable complication of the prediction model. And now I feel the urge to write a deeper dive into its inner workings. I'm not sure how useful it would be for anyone who isn't a part of the Grocery Categorization industry, but hopefully some NLP tricks could be at least interesting to any general practitioner. Please note that I'm by no means an NLP expert! Part of the reason for writing this kind of posts is to try and nerd-snipe someone who knows more into sharing their expertise. * ⚓ Kttnr ☛ C++_float-to-int_conversion_can_be_undefined_behavior⠀⇛ Converting a float to an int in C++ is undefined behavior when the truncated float does not fit into the destination integer. C++ makes it easy to do this accidentally. Much code gets this wrong. void foo(float f) { int i0 = f; int i1 = int(f); int i2 = static_cast(f); } This code does not generate any warnings, not even with -Wall and -Wextra. -Wconversion only warns about the implicit conversion. Yet each of the three conversions is undefined behavior for some inputs. * ⚓ Qt ☛ Qt_Creator_20.0.1_released⠀⇛ ⚓ We are happy to announce the release of Qt Creator 20.0.1!⠀⇛ The release improves tool detection and the default session directory for chats in the Hey Hi (AI) Agent_Client_Protocol integration, fixes various issues with CMake_Presets as well as some crashes, and contains various other improvements. * ⚓ Qt ☛ Python_Mobile_App_Development:_Bringing_PySide6_on_iOS⠀⇛ Python mobile app development reaches iOS in Qt 6.12. PySide6 developers can ship native iOS apps from the same codebase they already use for Android and desktop, with no Swift or Objective-C rewrite and no second codebase to keep in sync. * ⚓ Matthew Lugg ☛ Inside_Zig's_Incremental_Compilation⠀⇛ As a member of the Zig core team, one of the most impactful projects I’ve been involved with is the implementation of incremental compilation into the Zig compiler. This feature allows the compiler to detect which individual functions and declarations have changed since a project was last built, recompile only that code, and directly patch the resulting bytes into the output binary, making the rebuild extremely fast. The Zig project has been working towards this feature for a long time, and over the last few release cycles, it has finally gone from a proof-of-concept quality feature to one which is viable for real-world projects and which most of the Zig core team makes daily use of. * ⚓ Lambda_MicroVMs:_When_Functions_Aren’t_Enough_and_EC2_Is_Too_Much⠀⇛ Picture this: you’re building a browser-based notebook where data analysts paste in Python, load a 3 GB dataframe, generate a few charts, then wander off to a meeting. Ninety minutes later they come back and expect their kernel, their variables, and their half-finished plot to still be sitting there. * ⚓ Collabora ☛ Kraid_is_a_now_a_real_compiler⠀⇛ Kraid, the new compiler for the Panfrost driver stack, now passes all Vulkan CTS compute shader tests. This marks a major milestone, with work continuing on additional shader stages, code quality, and performance optimization. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ SQ Magazine ☛ Why_Kids_Should_Learn_Python_Through_Fun_Games First⠀⇛ A child’s first experience of programming can shape how they think about coding for years. Present it as a wall of technical terms and punctuation, and many will decide it is not for them. Give them a clear challenge, an interesting character and the freedom to experiment, and the same subject can feel more like solving a mystery than completing a lesson. That is one reason Python works well as an introduction to text-based coding. Its commands are relatively easy to read, children can see the results of their instructions quickly, and simple programs do not require pages of complicated setup. o ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ Wheels,_Bottles_and_Images⠀⇛ Wheels, Homebrew bottles and OCI images are the three big self-service binary distribution systems: the project publishes a compiled artifact and any machine fetches the one matching its platform, with no distro maintainer in between. conda, NuGet’s native assets, RubyGems platform gems and plain GitHub Releases do the same job in their own ecosystems. The three big ones share no specification: each was designed against its own stack. Simon’s trick works because a wheel is a checksummed archive selected by a platform tag, and that description also fits a bottle and an image. Immutable checksummed files are what CDNs serve cheaply and caches hold safely, and all three systems depend on both. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Farid Zakaria ☛ Nix_finally_has_a_source-bootstrapped_OpenJDK⠀⇛ javac is written in Java. HotSpot is C++, but the class library it needs is Java, and the compiler that compiles the class library is Java, and it runs on a JVM that needs a class library… and so on. This is a bootstrapping problem. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2238 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/31/Saint_Lucia_GNU_Linux_Leaps_Past_Many_Platforms_Market_Share_Ov.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/07/31/Saint_Lucia_GNU_Linux_Leaps_Past_Many_Platforms_Market_Share_Ov.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Saint Lucia: GNU/Linux Leaps Past Many Platforms, Market Share Over 20% If Combined With ChromeOS⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 31, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Flag_of_Saint_Lucia⦈_ Saint Lucia is not a large country, it is "home" to about 184,100 people, based on a 2023 census.

This flexibility moves some security responsibilities into application and hook code. The Cork and Bunni exploits are two app-level incidents that show what can go wrong in that code. Together, they account for more than $20M in losses. Neither incident stemmed from a flaw in the Uniswap v4 core protocol or the PoolManager; both arose from application-specific authorization and accounting logic built around hooks. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Thursday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (gstreamer1- plugins-bad-free, libtiff, libXfont2, nodejs:22, nodejs:24, and rest), Debian (expat and nss), Fedora (libssh, nginx, nginx- mod-brotli, nginx-mod-fancyindex, nginx-mod-headers-more, nginx-mod-modsecurity, nginx-mod-naxsi, nginx-mod-vts, nodejs24, perl-HTTP-Date, proftpd, squid, unbound, and wordpress), Oracle (c-ares, edk2, freerdp, go-fdo-server, libreswan, mariadb-connector-c, and nginx), SUSE (alloy, apache-commons-lang3, google-guice, maven, maven-resolver, xmvn, apache-sshd, apptainer, avahi, distribution, glib2, go1.26-openssl, go1.25-openssl, go1.24-openssl, go1.23-openssl, go1.22-openssl, go1.26, go1.25, go1.24, go1.23, go1.22, go1.21, gstreamer-plugins-bad, helm, ImageMagick, java-17-openjdk, java-25-openjdk, liboqs, oqs-provider, libssh, nginx, nm- configurator, nmap, openssl-3, openvpn, PackageKit, perl, perl- DBI, perl-HTTP-Date, perl-XML-Bare, python-msgpack-python, python-sh, python-ujson, python-urllib3, runc, samba, sssd, wget, wpa_supplicant, and xen), and Ubuntu (linux-nvidia, linux-nvidia-7.0 and linux-nvidia-6.17). * ⚓ OpenSSF (Linux Foundation) ☛ OpenSSF_Newsletter_–_July_2026⠀⇛ The July 2026 OpenSSF Newsletter highlights the upcoming Community Day Europe agenda and new compliance resources for the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).

Yesterday we sat outside in the garden and drank to celebrate a good week. This morning the birds are managing to wise_up, realising that instead of eating seeds from the bottle they can use their heads to "sweep" seeds out of the bottle, then eat from the ground later (nigella seeds). "Sleepy" is notorious for doing this, she is the most mischievous of them all - a lot worse than "Neck". To us, this is another sign that these birds are smart and creative.

gnu_linux_how_to_mount_luks_and_veracrypt,_zulucrypt_was auto_removed_from_debian_repo_(debports)⠀⇛ * ⚓ CubicleNate ☛ Creating_the_Ultimate_Vertical_Monitor_Workspace⠀⇛ The author describes a journey of upgrading their home office setup, initially using a six-monitor rig with inadequate screens. They found improvements in an LG DualUP monitor and decided on a dual setup using INNOCN displays to enhance productivity. Despite some connection issues and pixel density discrepancies, the new layout significantly increased usability and desk efficiency. * ⚓ Clint_Adams:_not_ninpo⠀⇛ The UX of jj's builtin merge editor finally became too much for me. So, I looked at the list of merge tool options, saw vimdiff, and thought, “Oh, cool, I know how to use vimdiff.” * ⚓ TecMint ☛ TiDB:_Build_a_MySQL-Compatible_Distributed_SQL_Database_on Linux⠀⇛ TiDB is an open-source distributed SQL database developed by PingCAP. It separates computing and storage into different components: [...] * ⚓ Christian Cleberg ☛ Upgrading_My_Homelab_to_10_Gbps⠀⇛ The short answer: fiber finally became available at my current residence, so I jumped on it immediately. The slightly longer answer is that I'd previously enjoyed proper 1 Gbps fiber, but for a while now I'd been stuck limping along on "1 Gbps" cable from Cox that, in reality, often crawled along at 100 Mbps regardless of what I did to fix it. New modem, new cables, different ports, calls to support - nothing mattered. It ran at whatever speed it felt like that day. * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ How_to_Install_and_Configure_the_proprietary_trap_AWS_CLI_on Linux⠀⇛ Install proprietary trap AWS CLI version 2 on Linux, authenticate with aws login or IAM Identity Center, manage profiles, and verify access to your proprietary trap AWS account. * ⚓ Linux Host Support ☛ How_to_Migrate_from_Ubuntu_24.04_to_Ubuntu_26.04_ (Zero-Downtime_Guide)⠀⇛ In this blog post, we will show you how to migrate from Ubuntu 24.04 to Ubuntu 26.04 with zero downtime.

If you love RSS as much as I do, take a look and add your own website. o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Waterfox ☛ Waterfox_6.7.0-beta.3_-_Ultra_Protection_returns and_Linux_package_repositories_-_Waterfox_Release⠀⇛ Waterfox 6.7.0 beta 3 switches Ultra Protection back on, broadens Linux packaging to ARM64 with proper package repositories, and continues restoring legacy extension support. # ⚓ Thunderbird ☛ Thunderbird_Blog:_Mobile_Progress_Report: July_2026⠀⇛ Thunderbird Mobile is moving forward with large steps on both platforms we support. On iOS, we’re working on the very foundation of a new app—our first built from scratch—and continuing to make progress in bringing the Thunderbird for iOS app to the App Store. For Android, it’s a matter of updating what we have in place to make it easier to use, more reliable, and more efficient. Both platforms are rushing forward to deliver exactly what our users expect from us. Starting off with iOS, we’ve focused on a few vital components. This includes the compose screen, account drawer, and OAuth, which allows users to add their accounts using the sign in page of their email provider. For the compose view, our HTML rich text editor is coming along nicely. We forked a WYSIWYG repository, Infomaniak’s “swift-rich-html- editor,” to create a rich text view for both composing and editing. We also added view headers, fixed a bug where we weren’t applying links properly to the DOM, and began porting a proof of concept over to the main app code.

It was actually my first real introduction to Linux. Like a lot of people, I carved out a partition, installed a second OS, and got that satisfying moment of choosing which OS to boot into at startup. At the time, it felt like the right way to do it if you wanted the full experience. But even early on, it didn't take long to notice the tradeoffs. Every time I wanted to switch, it meant stopping what I was doing and rebooting. Updates could get a little unpredictable, and even basic things like moving files between systems weren't always as smooth as you'd expect. Dual-booting still gets the job done, but it quickly starts to feel like more effort than it's worth, especially if you're just trying to explore another OS.
