That reputation stuck to Linux for decades, but the reality today is completely different. Modern Linux distributions have become so user-friendly that a complete beginner can go years without touching the terminal window on their PC or laptop. The graphical interfaces are polished, the app stores are straightforward, and the days of wrestling with cryptic configuration files are largely behind us. Linux can do things Windows simply can't, from deep system customization to centralized software repositories that update every installed application with a single click. The numbers back this up. A 79-year-old with zero Linux experience and a language barrier was able to use Ubuntu without issue, which says more about how far the platform has come than any benchmark ever could. Linux is also more secure, provides far more privacy, and frees users from vendor lock-in, making it a solid alternative. But, enthusiasm without preparation leads to avoidable frustrations, and there's a handful of classic missteps that trip up new users every time. Here's five common mistakes to avoid when switching to Linux.

Their visiting schedules are tailored around when we're typically home and awake. In mornings we used to give them "Big Time" (two full jars of seeds), but now the "Big Time" happens in the streets, where they await the clapping and then storm the spilled seeds. When winter arrives and food becomes more scarce (in nature) we'll need to change the cycles and habits once more. This year has thus far been impacted by a horrible drought. It is awful for agriculture and will result in further price hikes (sharp ones for food). █ =============================================================================== Image source:

by Accident, Promoting Proprietary Snaps (Backend Monopolised), Multiple Vulnerabilities⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 04, 2026 * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Curl_dropped_from_Ubuntu_26.04_minimal_cloud_images_by mistake⠀⇛ Ubuntu 26.04 LTS’s minimal cloud images have been missing curl – accidentally, it turns out, so Canonical has put it back. Curl is a commonly-used command-line tool for fetching files from remote servers. It’s called on in countless install scripts, CI pipelines and one-liners you’ve no doubt pasted into your terminal without thinking twice about.

The use of the police in this manner is much more than an attack on the victim named in the false accusations. These false persecutions are intended to send a message to every other cult member, whether it is a political party or a free software organisation, to deter anybody else from doing anything inconvenient for the gangmasters.

Once that was done, the code ran in the background until the app was deleted. The Pac-Man app code came from Israel data company Bright Data. Mnemonic said that it appeared to be scraping LinkedIn profiles and collecting data for AI training. o ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Feedback_about_replacing_a_switch⠀⇛ Last Friday I talked about a flaky network switch that was wreaking havoc on our wired home network. A few of you sent thoughts, which I wanted to share. o ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Banana_Pi_BPI-AI2N_Goes_on_Sale_with_Yocto_and Armbian_Images⠀⇛ Banana Pi has announced public availability of its BPI- AI2N embedded vision platform, following the hardware introduction covered last year. * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ ChronoWatch_X2040_–_A_DIY_watch_with_off-the-shelf Raspberry_Pi_RP2040_round_display,_3D_printed_case,_and_custom firmware⠀⇛ If you’ve ever wanted to build your own watch, the ChronoWatch X2040 DIY watch allows you to do it the easy way with a Waveshare RP2040-Touch-LCD-1.28 touch LCD board, a 3D-printed case, a 3.7V LiPo battery, a few screws, and firmware using the Pico C/C++ SDK. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Circuit_Bending,_But_Make_It_MIDI⠀⇛ Circuit bending is a chaotic art. At its simplest, it can just involve making connections between random points on a circuit board to create weird sounds in musical hardware. Or, you can complicate things, get really specific with your hookups, and twist them with various sorts of modulation. [Simon the Magpie] has been working on something closer to the latter category, with his neat project to add MIDI to the circuit bending world. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Child-Friendly_Music_Player_Uses_RFID⠀⇛ The build is based around an Arduino Nano — its job is to read RFID tags via an RC522 reader, with the tags themselves embedded in a series of small dolls belonging to [David]’s daughter. Upon reading the tag, the Arduino Nano chats over serial with a DFPlayer Mini module, which reads a playlist of MP3 files off of an SD card and plays them over a small 4 ohm speaker that [David] had laying around. It’s a simple build, with the components all neatly wrapped up in a handsome wooden case with a volume control and a skip button for if any one song becomes too annoying for a repeat listen. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Energizing_A_Vacuum_Tube_Flip-Flop_Module_Of_The_IBM 604⠀⇛ Taking a break from ogling microscopic features in Intel’s semiconductor processors, [Ken Shirriff] is back to instead poking at decidedly macroscopic pluggable modules from the 1948 IBM 604 Electronic Calculator. This time around it’s one of the so-called trigger modules in the form of the TR-3, which uses a flip-flop circuit to implement the timing signals and pulses that made the 604 work. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 517 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/04/Exploring_Change.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/04/Exploring_Change.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Exploring Change⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 04, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Battle_Station_2021⦈_ This photo has a sort of nostalgic feel to it. On that chair, in that 'office', half a decade ago I made almost all my videos (maybe 80% of them) and published a lot of high-impact articles. It's also where I kept myself safe or sheltered from COVID-19 for nearly 4 years (eventually my wife and I both got infected) after leaving the gym/spa. Many things we thought might last forever came_to_an end. Coronavirus was the "trigger". Months after I left that 'office' I also quit my job (I had planned to for years already) and in August of the same year we moved Tux Machines to an SSG that we had developed.

Written in PHP, it offers straightforward installation and backup while providing the core facilities needed to run a personal or small-scale blog. The software supports Smarty-powered themes, plugins, widgets, static pages, categories, comments with spam protection, and RSS and Atom feeds. Its administration interface and extensive language support make it accessible to a broad range of users. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Piccolo_-_Python_object-relational_mapper⠀⇛ Piccolo is a Python object-relational mapper (ORM) and query builder designed around clean, expressive syntax. It supports both synchronous and asynchronous database access, allowing developers to use it with traditional applications or asyncio- based web services. Piccolo can be used as a full ORM or as a standalone query builder. PostgreSQL is its primary database, with additional support for CockroachDB and SQLite. It includes migration tools, a command-line interface, an interactive playground, authentication components and a modular application system similar to Django apps. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Typecho_-_PHP-powered_blogging_platform⠀⇛ Typecho is a PHP-powered blogging platform for publishing and managing online content. It offers Markdown editing, custom pages and fields, together with support for themes and plugins. The software can use MariaDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite for data storage. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ workerd_-_JavaScript_and_WebAssembly_server_runtime⠀⇛ workerd is designed for server deployments and uses capability- based bindings to connect services and external resources. It supports compatibility dates, allowing applications to retain the API behaviour associated with an earlier Cloudflare Workers release. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ CORE_-_network_emulation_platform⠀⇛ The software provides a graphical interface for drawing network topologies using lightweight virtual nodes. Python modules and a gRPC API are available for scripting, automation and integration with other tools. Emulated networks can also be connected to physical networks and external systems. CORE is useful for network research, protocol development, education, cybersecurity exercises and testing complex network configurations. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ microfeed_-_lightweight_content_management_system⠀⇛ The software uses Cloudflare Pages to host and execute the application, R2 for media storage, D1 for metadata and Zero Trust to secure access to the administration dashboard. It can be used for blogs, podcasts, video channels, image galleries, personal websites, curated news feeds, changelogs and headless CMS deployments. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ SQLModel_-_Python_object-relational_mapping_library⠀⇛ SQLModel is a Python object-relational mapping library designed to simplify interaction with SQL databases. It combines SQLAlchemy’s database capabilities with Pydantic’s data validation and type system. The library lets developers define database tables and data models using standard Python type annotations. A single model can serve as a SQLAlchemy table model and a Pydantic data model, reducing duplication and making SQLModel particularly well suited to FastAPI applications. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ MinisCloud_OS_Review_-_customised_Linux_NAS_operating_system⠀⇛ MinisCloud OS is a customised Linux NAS operating system developed for Minisforum. It is reportedly based on the Siyouyun OS framework. It’s a headless appliance OS rather than a normal Debian desktop installation. Minisforum supplies it with storage management, ZFS snapshots and compression, SMB sharing, Docker applications, user management and media features. The OS is supplied with the Minisforum N5 Air, N5 Pro and M5 Max NAS systems. This article takes you through some of the functionality of the operating system. I’m evaluating the OS on the N5 Pro, a high-specification NAS. I’ll be publishing a separate article reviewing the N5 Pro. MinisCloud OS comes pre-installed on a dedicated 128GB AirDisk PCIe 3.0 NVMe drive. This keeps the operating system separate from the main storage drives. The SSD occupies one of the N5 Pro’s three M.2 storage slots. * ⚓ HugeSCM_-_cloud-native_version_control_system⠀⇛ HugeSCM is a cloud-native version control system designed for extremely large repositories. It is particularly suited to AI model development, game production, dataset management and monorepos containing large binary files. The system separates frequently accessed metadata from file content, storing metadata in a distributed database and large blobs in object storage. Its Zeta client maintains a shallow local copy and retrieves data on demand, avoiding the storage and transfer overhead associated with cloning an entire Git repository. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Chyrp_Lite_-_lightweight,_self-hosted_blogging_platform⠀⇛ Chyrp Lite is a lightweight, self-hosted blogging platform designed to be easy to install, maintain and customise. It can power a traditional blog, a tumbleblog or a broader publishing website with integrated blogging features. The software uses Feathers to support different content types, including text, photos, quotations, links, video, audio and file uploads. Pages provide standalone content outside the main blog stream, while themes and extensions let administrators adapt the appearance and functionality of a site. Chyrp Lite also includes a responsive administration console and accessibility-focused HTML markup. This is free and open source software. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⣤⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠁⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⢉⣉⣉⣉⣉⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⠛⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢰⣶⣶⣶⠶⠶⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠘⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣦⣤⣤⡄⠀⠀⠿⣿⠀⠀⠘⠂⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢠⣴⡄⠈⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡿⠿⡇⠀⠉⣁⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡏⠉⢻⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⢼⠇⠀⢻⠿⠿⠿⠀⢾⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡄⠀⣾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⠁⠀⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡆⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠇⠀⣿⣿⣷⣆⠀⠀⠀⠇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢲⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢰⡇⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣴⣾⣧⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 901 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/04/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/04/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free, Libre, and Open Source Software Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 04, 2026 * ⚓ Sacha Chua ☛ 2026-08-03_Emacs_news⠀⇛ I particularly enjoyed the tweaks for EWW (Emacs Web Wowser) in this edition.

Although the launch of AMD's next-generation RDNA 5 graphics cards is still a few months away, Linux support is already being developed to ensure every part of the stack is operational before the official release. According to the latest patch noted by Phoronix, the DCN6 display engine is associated with the AMD GFX13, which corresponds to the RDNA 5 GPU family. AMD's DCN display engine handles a variety of functions, including display output, image scaling, monitor ratio output, pixel manipulation, and much more. This engine is a highly complex component crucial for graphics output in AMD RDNA graphics cards. * § Graphics Stack⠀➾ o ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ NVIDIA_stable_driver_595.91.07_and_new_feature driver_610.57.04_released_for_Linux_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Gaming on Linux with NVIDIA?

Under the hood, it is built on musl, BusyBox, and OpenRC rather than glibc, GNU coreutils, and systemd. By swapping out the heavy GNU toolchain for lighter alternatives, Alpine strips away the bloat that is almost necessary in general-purpose distributions. It doesn't come with any of the other usual bloat either, which means that the base image is tiny—only 5MB—and an installed Alpine distro will land somewhere between 50MB and 150MB. For comparison, the Ubuntu Server image is around 3GB, and requires 5GB of free disk space to install. You can sometimes get it down to about a gigabyte. That makes Alpine Linux literally a few orders of magnitude smaller than Ubuntu.

It was expensive (both hardware_and_software), and it was far from a given that machines from one vendor would be able to talk to those from another. * ⚓ LWN ☛ C-Kermit_11_released⠀⇛ For those of us with a long memory: John Goerzen has announced the release of C-Kermit 11, the first release of this file- transfer utility in 15 years. a time when it was an essential tool for moving files between machines. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Twenty_years_of_Pandoc⠀⇛ John MacFarlane has published a lengthy_retrospective to commemorate twenty years of the Pandoc document converter. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Rakulang ☛ Rakudo_Weekly_2026.31_Forever_Language⠀⇛ Which programming language should you learn?

We (the maintainers of curl) took the entire month of July off from vulnerability reporting and in this post I will try to explain how this went. (If you feel like skipping the wordy blab below, the single word answer is: fine) This was possibly our best project decision in a long while. * ⚓ Ham Vocke ☛ Use_Task_Runners_for_Common_Coding_Tasks⠀⇛ You can make your software developer life suck a bit less by using task runners to run common coding tasks consistently across multiple repositories * ⚓ Fabian “ryg” Giesen ☛ ryg_rans_is_not_a_library⠀⇛ ryg_rans is not a library, never was. It’s a toy implementation of an algorithm whose core fits in something like 20 lines of code. It’s the equivalent of the wooden board you sometimes see in hardware stores where they have 30 different types and sizes of fasteners screwed, bolted or nailed in. The idea is not that you should use this in your builds; it’s a visual aid to show you the options available to you. A real project should pick one, or maybe two, options and stick with it. * ⚓ Eli Bendersky ☛ Relative_velocity_and_closing_speed⠀⇛ In Physics simulations or game engines it’s sometimes useful to determine the speed with which two objects are approaching each other. This post will discuss the concept of closing speed, which is the normal component of the relative velocity of two objects. * ⚓ Henry Schreiner ☛ C++26⠀⇛ C++26 is done (technically complete March 2026, publication expected later this year), so let’s explore the new features in C++, from a data science point of view. This is the biggest release since C++11; in fact, one feature might be the biggest single feature ever. Reflection means C++ now understands itself without macros or hacks; it’s also one of the first mainstream compiled languages to have full static reflection (Rust has syntactic macros, but not true reflection; D, zig, and C# have reflection). Contracts finally landed after 20+ years of attempts; the async model (std::execution) and data- parallel types (std::simd, std::linalg) are also big additions. Standard stuff from previous releases is also continuing to improve. Much more constexpr, more ranges, mdspan grows sub- views, formatting keeps improving. Plus memory-safety improvements (erroneous behavior, hardened standard library). * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ B_is_for_batteries_included_-_Python_A_to Z⠀⇛ I love Python’s batteries included philosophy and its standard library so much that I dedicated an entire Blaugust in 2024 writing about it: [...] o ⚓ Adam Johnson ☛ Python:_how_time-machine_is_O(1)_where_freezegun is_O(n)⠀⇛ time-machine is my library for mocking the current date and time in Python tests. Its headline advantage over freezegun, the library that inspired it, is speed. Back in 2021, I benchmarked the two libraries at two project sizes, and found time-machine 100 to 200 times faster. That post asserted that freezegun’s work grows with the number of imported modules, whilst time- machine’s does not. Five years on, following many time-machine optimizations, including in Friday’s time-machine 3.3.0, let’s re- benchmark the two libraries to empirically measure their runtime complexity and examine their code to explain why. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ What_'sh_-x'_mostly_doesn't_tell_you about_a_shell_script⠀⇛ The first and biggest thing that 'sh -x' doesn't give you is shell redirections. If the script makes heavy use of redirecting things into working files that it manipulates, shoves around, and then deletes, a lot of the specifics of this may be invisible to your debugging (although you can usually tell that redirection is going on). This is most likely to apply if the file names are set up dynamically through things like shell variables. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Anton Zhiyanov ☛ Going_Backward⠀⇛ Go's standard library has a slices package with a function called Backward. It lets you iterate over the elements of a slice in reverse order: [...] * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ PHP ☛ C++_to_Rust_Migration⠀⇛ Tldr: For many production systems, the safest C++-to Rust migration strategy is not a full rewrite. It is an incremental migration: start with isolated modules, make Rust work inside the existing build and release process, and expand gradually as confidence grows. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2045 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/04/Red_Hat_on_Slop_WordPress_and_Kernel_Linux.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/04/Red_Hat_on_Slop_WordPress_and_Kernel_Linux.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat on Slop, WordPress, and Kernel (Linux)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 04, 2026 * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Multitenant_Hey_Hi_(AI)_inference_with_dynamic_resource allocation_on_OpenShift [Ed: Slop promotion from Red Hat is the "new Linux"]⠀⇛ If you've ever watched your cloud bill skyrocket because a single 15 GB model claimed an entire 80 GB NVIDIA H100 all to itself—or if you've had to wait in a long queue because a colleague locked down a whole GPU node for a light testing task—you know the pain of GPU waste. Standard Kubernetes allocation treats GPUs as an all-or-nothing resource. But when you are running modern models like Llama 3.1 8B, you shouldn't have to choose between massive hardware bills and frustrated developers. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ One_kernel_feature,_93%_system_throughput_gone:_A_Red_Bait Enterprise_GNU/Linux_10.2_kernel_regression_and_how_to_mitigate_it⠀⇛ TL;DR — During performance validation of Red Hat Enterprise GNU/Linux 10.2, we identified a kernel scheduler regression that reduced system throughput by up to 93% on multi-NUMA instance types. The regression is bimodal: Workloads either run at full speed or experience severe CPU work starvation. Eliminate this throughput collapse at runtime without rebooting by disabling the NI_RANDOM scheduler feature: * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Stop_patching_and_build_a_better_WordPress_stack_with_Red Bait_Hardened_Images⠀⇛ Deploy WordPress on Red Hat Hardened_Images and image_mode_for Red Hat Enterprise_Linux to spend less time fighting vulnerabilities, and more time shipping features. If you've ever inherited a poorly executed WordPress deployment, then you already know the pain of a general-purpose server with a package list that sprawls across things you never asked for and wouldn't miss. A CVE scanner pings you every other week about something installed in 2019 that nobody remembers touching. A production environment that has drifted so far from what anybody intended that "just redeploy it" is not a real option anymore. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Dynamic_troubleshooting_with_guarded_command execution_in_the_MCP_server_for_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux [Ed: Slop promotion]⠀⇛ In its initial release, MCP server for RHEL provided a predefined set of read-only tools. This provides strong boundaries, but it can limit the ability of AI tools to perform dynamic, real-world troubleshooting to find the root cause of complex issues. Real-world troubleshooting frequently requires taking action. When an outage or issue occurs, administrators often need to execute exploratory steps, such as restarting a service or adjusting a configuration file, to help determine root cause. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2126 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/04/Security_and_Windows_TCO.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/04/Security_and_Windows_TCO.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security and Windows TCO⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 04, 2026 * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Monday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (.NET 10.0, .NET 8.0, .NET 9.0, fence-agents, kernel, kernel-rt, openssh, osbuild-composer, perl-Archive-Tar, perl-DBI, perl:5.32, pipewire, python-pillow, qemu-kvm, unbound, and vim), Debian (chromium, incus, kernel, kissfft, libgd2, libmodbus, libssh, node-tar, php8.4, poppler, python-authlib, sslh, and starlette), Fedora (borgbackup, coturn, curl, exim, fuse- overlayfs, gh, GitPython, goaccess, lemonldap-ng, libgit2, nextcloud, nsd, php, postgresql16, python3.12, rabbitmq-server, rust-libgit2-sys, and xen), Mageia (bluez, firmware, kernel, kmod, wireless-regdb), Oracle (buildah, compat-libtiff3, dovecot, fence-agents, firefox, gimp, glibc, grafana, gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free, java-25-openjdk, kernel, libgcrypt, libtiff, libXfont2, nodejs24, nodejs:22, nodejs:24, openssh, openssl, PackageKit, pipewire, python-pillow, rest, sssd, vim, and yelp), SUSE (bind, chromium, dnsdist, gdk- pixbuf-loader-libheif, gio-branding-upstream, google-guest- agent, govulncheck-vulndb, GraphicsMagick, ignition, ImageMagick, keybase-client, kronosnet, libblkid-devel, libntpc1, libpng16, nano, openssh, openssl-1_0_0, openssl-3, openvpn, PackageKit, perl-mojolicious, php8, python-nltk, python313-asteval, python313-certifi, python313-GitPython, python313-huggingface-hub, rsyslog, tomcat, tomcat10, tomcat11, traefik2, valkey, warewulf4, webkit2gtk3, and yq), and Ubuntu (linux-intel-iotg). * ⚓ LWN ☛ SQLite_Critical_CVEs_or_LLM_Slop?_(JFrog_blog)⠀⇛ The JFrog blog examines some reported vulnerabilities in SQLite, some of which made their way into high-profile vulnerability databases, that turned out to be entirely fabricated by LLMs. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ N‑able_Patches_Vulnerability_Exploited_to_Hack_N- central_Servers⠀⇛ The N‑central vulnerability CVE-2026-18577 has been exploited in the wild after threat actors found a patch bypass. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Recent_SonicWall_Vulnerabilities_Exploited_in Ransomware_Attacks⠀⇛ The INC Ransomware gang has been targeting vulnerable SMA1000 appliances for root access and lateral movement. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Brinks_Home_Discloses_Data_Breach_as_Hackers_Leak Files⠀⇛ The physical security firm says its alarm monitoring and system functionality have not been affected. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Cyberattack_Hits_Liechtenstein’s_Register_of_People Behind_Companies_and_Foundations⠀⇛ The list of people behind companies, foundations and trusteeships is part of efforts to combat money laundering and terror financing. * ⚓ OPSWAT_Enhances_Metascan™_with_BKAV_Pro:_A_Major_shift_for_Linux Security?⠀⇛ OPSWAT has integrated BKAV Pro as a selectable custom engine in Metascan™ Multiscanning Linux packages on MetaDefender Core™, available across both 5-engine and 10-engine tiers [1][1].

howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 04, 2026 * ⚓ Lean Rada ☛ Baking_physics_in_CSS_via_linear()_abuse⠀⇛ One way to do this is to precalculate the keyframes to replay with CSS, but a high quality replay would normally require a heavy amount of generated CSS to be loaded and parsed. I found a way to highly compress this precalculated CSS to a manageable size. * ⚓ Artyom Bologov ☛ New_Declarative_Website_Menu_with_Invoker_Commands_and noscript_Hacks!⠀⇛ So I read David Bushell’s post on Invoker Commands and it got me inspired! (In short: Invoker Commands API is a way to send events and open dialogs without JS.) I wanted to make a menu like that for my own site. However, I had important principal requirements for it: • It has to display an alternative full-length menu when JS is off or Invoker Commands are unsupported. • It should work on a multitude of screens. • It should be simple and HTML+CSS only. This post is a description of a technique I settled on. * ⚓ dwaves.de ☛ howto_vpn_tunnel_all_traffic_from_LAN_to_WAN_(WIFI)_to_srv via_wireguard⠀⇛ * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_proprietary_trap_AWS_CLI_on_Fedora_44⠀⇛ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Cockpit_on_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_KVM_on_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ Setting up a hypervisor on a brand-new LTS release always comes with a bit of hesitation. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2842 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/04/Wayland_Pains_and_Hyprland_Issus.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/04/Wayland_Pains_and_Hyprland_Issus.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Wayland Pains and Hyprland Issues⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 04, 2026, updated Aug 04, 2026 * ⚓ David Edmundson ☛ Wayland_pain_points_–_kgamma⠀⇛ In the feedback about dropping X11 support, one very surprisingly common comment is from users saying they "need" kgamma, a simple tool that allows the user to adjust the gamma, red, blue and green that gets drawn to the screen operating directly on the X server. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Hyprland's_biggest_strength_is_also_why_I'm_switching_back_to KDE⠀⇛ Ever since I first ventured into the world of Linux, I've heard a good bit about the Hyprland desktop, but I've never had enough curiosity to try it. That finally changed recently, especially with a distro called Nitrux adopting Hyprland as the default desktop. I thought this might make it easier for a beginner, and I wanted to try it. Suffice it to say I was wrong. Nitrux didn't feel nearly as intuitive as I'd hoped, and I ended up switching to Arch instead. However, I'm still going back to one of the more popular desktops. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2888 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 30 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
