Microsoft and other malevolent forces *are* already working to try to derail what little progress has been made to-date." "Apparently 250,000,000,000 Euros are wasted on proprietary software and services."

Linux Mint is what made me think Linux was actually livable. The desktop made sense. Things were where I expected them to be. It was Ubuntu underneath, sure, but that's almost beside the point; what mattered was that the experience felt considered. I didn't move to Ubuntu until 2019. I ran it for about six months. Then I left. The reason I told myself at the time was that Ubuntu felt slow on my hardware. I had an i3 first-gen Intel machine. Ubuntu felt sluggish in ways that bothered me. I blamed Ubuntu. Here's what I discovered later: the culprit wasn't Ubuntu. It was GNOME. GNOME is a beautiful desktop. I'll give it that. But on modest hardware, it feels less responsive, and even at times, it completely freezes. It shows up in the half-second delays, the slightly-too-late window redraws, and the sense that the machine is working harder than it should be.

Fortunately, there’s another option more people are beginning to discover: Linux. Now, before you stop reading because you’ve heard Linux is only for programmers, hear me out. One version in particular, called Zorin OS, was built for everyday people. If you’ve used Windows, you’ll likely feel at home within minutes — a familiar Start menu, taskbar, file manager, and desktop layout. The transition is far gentler than most people expect. Installing software has gotten simpler, too. Chrome and Firefox are both available, along with LibreOffice for documents and spreadsheets. Zoom, streaming services, online banking, email, and social media all work just fine. For most people, that is the entire list of what they do on a computer. The problem usually isn’t the computer. It’s the software the computer is being asked to run. Then there’s performance. A machine that crawls under Windows often feels noticeably quicker with Linux, simply because it asks less of the hardware. That alone can add several useful years. Security matters here as well. Because Linux is built differently, it is targeted far less often by malware and ransomware. That isn’t the same as immune — no operating system is — but it removes a great deal of the risk that follows Windows users around. Security updates arrive regularly and install without drama.

In this series, I’ll put the Beelink mini PC through its paces from a Linux perspective, comparing it with other systems to see how it performs in real-world Linux use. The Beelink EQi Core 3 304 is a recent addition to Beelink’s EQ range of compact PCs. It’s built around Intel’s Wildcat Lake Core 3 304 processor, a 5-core, 5-thread chip comprising one performance core and four low-power efficiency cores. The processor integrates Xe3-LPG graphics and currently has a CPU Mark of 11,720. The review unit comes with 16GB of LPDDR5 6400MT/s memory and 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage, giving the system a capable har Manufacturer-supplied noise measurements are only meaningful when the methodology is disclosed. A quoted dBA value can vary substantially depending on the microphone position, distance from the system, ambient temperature, background noise floor, room characteristics, selected power profile and the workload running during the test. * ⚓ Sable_-_Matrix_client_focused_on_usability⠀⇛ Sable is a Matrix client focused on usability, customisation and quality-of-life features.

This is the file explorer that Emacs ships with. Starting with Emacs 31, the ‘speedbar’ can be configured to appear on the side of the frame. Whereas the default is to show up in a separate frame. To me, the default is impractical, whereas the new option turns ‘speedbar’ into a very useful piece of functionality. * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ FOSS_Weekly_#26.32:_Kittens,_Feed_Readers,_Free_Bash Course,_No_Hey_Hi_(AI)_in_Kernel_Staging_and_More⠀⇛ RSS feed is one way to escape the clutches of algorithms. The entire debate in the Linux and open source world these days is if AI generated code should be used or not. As Linus told AI critics to fork the project or walk away, GKH took a more surgical approach. AI patches are fine elsewhere in the kernel, but drivers/staging is off limits. The GNOME extensions review queue is still flooded with AI slop months after the no-AI rule went in. The latest attempt to slow it down is a guide written directly for the bots doing the generating, covering the bad patterns that keep showing up. Keychron's doing for mice what QMK did for keyboards. ZGM is a GPL-3.0 open source firmware built on Zephyr RTOS, coming first to the G6 HE in Q1 2027. If it takes off, Linux users are the ones who gain most since practically no gaming mice ship with official Linux configuration support. * ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ How_my_homelab_storage_evolved_over_time⠀⇛ I appreciate that I spend a not insignificant amount of time talking about ZFS here, the only volume manager and file system I trust with my important data. ZFS came from my beloved Sun Microsystems, and today FreeBSD has the best ZFS integration outside the illumos ecosystem. * ⚓ Codeberg ☛ dlowe/irken:_A_tiny_hackable_full-featured_IRC_client⠀⇛ Irken is an attempt to build a small, functional, IRC client in Tcl/Tk. It aims to honor as much of IRC as possible while still remaining small enough to understand by tinkerers. * § Web Browsers/Web Servers/Feed Readers⠀➾ o ⚓ SQ Magazine ☛ Search_Engine_Statistics_2026:_Market_Share,_Volume &_AI_Shift⠀⇛ Google handled 90.1% of worldwide search across desktop, mobile, tablet, and console in April 2026, according to StatCounter Global Stats. That figure looks like a frozen monopoly. Two numbers underneath it tell a more interesting story. Google’s worldwide share has barely moved over the past year, while the bigger threat to traditional search now lives outside the market-share chart, inside AI answer engines. The sections below map where each engine stands worldwide and by region, how the picture differs across desktop and mobile, how often people search, and the measurable shift toward AI Overviews in the latest quarter. o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Mozilla_Addons_Blog:_How_the_publicSuffix_API_was created⠀⇛ Firefox 153 ships the new publicSuffix WebExtensions Hey Hi (AI) This API lets extensions ask the browser for the registrable domain (eTLD+1) of a hostname. It uses the browser’s built-in, always-up-to-date copy of the Public_Suffix_List, removing the need for extensions to bundle and maintain a copy of the list. * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ Database of Databases ☛ YottaDB⠀⇛ YottaDB is a multi-process embedded NoSQL key-value DBMS. * § FSF / Software Freedom / Digital Sovereignty⠀➾ o ⚓ [Old] Deutsche Welle ☛ German_public_sector_keen_to_end_reliance on_US_tech⠀⇛ ZenDis, the German Center for Digital Sovereignty in Public Administration, wants to reduce dependency on US tech companies such as Microsoft and is currently developing digital alternatives to US products. "All data stored in US databases is potentially at risk," said Lutz Niemeyer, spokesperson for ZenDiS, which is a limited liability company wholly owned by the German government. He added that the state had "a duty to ensure that crucial data entrusted to it by its citizens is kept secure." A picture of a huge building, the former Opel HQ * § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ o ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Ninth_Circuit:_Your_AI_Agent_Can’t_Violate_[Cracking] Law._But_You_Might.⠀⇛ The rise of AI is bringing a bunch of fascinating legal questions that are harder to answer than many expect. The latest one: who is liable if an agentic system running on its own [cracks] someone? That’s the question a bunch of people have been asking this past week in the wake of multiple stories of agentic tools breaking out of their sandboxes during testing. But it’s also a question that the Ninth Circuit brushed up against this week, in a ruling that says an agentic tool isn’t the one doing the “accessing” under the federal [cracking] law. A person is. The challenging part is figuring out which person. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ Document Foundation ☛ The_characteristics_of_a_truly_open document_standard_format⠀⇛ A truly open document format requires free public availability, royalty-free standards, and no usage restrictions. Organizations like the Open Knowledge Foundation and the European Union use several core rules to guarantee long-term data access, system independence, and freedom from single-vendor control. o ⚓ Tech Central (South Africa) ☛ South_Africa_agrees_on_a_shared language_for_location⠀⇛ The country now has one agreed way to capture, maintain and share spatial data. Systems can agree on what to call a feature, hold its identity steady as streets are renamed and erven subdivided, and record how current and how accurate a dataset actually is. Name changes, accuracy and every other aspect of data quality can now properly inform decisions. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1086 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/07/Games_DRM_free_MECCHA_CHAMELEON_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/07/Games_DRM_free_MECCHA_CHAMELEON_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: DRM-free, MECCHA CHAMELEON, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 07, 2026 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ The_No_More_Robots_Humble_Bundle_is_a_great_deal_with Let's_Build_a_Zoo,_Yes,_Your_Grace_and_more_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Another really good chance for you to build up your collection of quality indie games in the No More Robots Humble Bundle. They're calling it the unhinged indie anthology. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ GOG_have_a_great_sale_on_shooters_going_on_| GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Love shooters and DRM-free gaming? GOG have a big sale on action shooters with some really good deals going.

Here's_What_New_Users_Should_Know⠀⇛ Linux has earned its reputation as a secure operating system. Strong user permissions, trusted software repositories, and a security-first design make malware infections far less common than many people expect. For most desktop users, installing antivirus on Linux is not something they need to worry about. However, that doesn't mean Linux is immune to malware or virus or every other security threat. The real question isn't whether Linux can get viruses. It's whether antivirus software protects you from the threats you're most likely to face. o ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ After_Nearly_a_Decade_of_Distro_Hopping,_I_Realized It_Was_Never_About_the_Distro⠀⇛ Some lessons are learned the hard way....or in this case, the looong way. For years I thought I had strong opinions on Linux distros. Ubuntu was too heavy or it felt. Arch was too fiddly. Kali was surprisingly practical (don't judge me). Looking back at nearly a decade of distro hopping, I realize I had the whole thing wrong. It was never really about the distro. It was about what desktop environment sat on top of it. o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ Mailing list ARChives ☛ 'OpenBGPD_9.2_released'⠀⇛ We have released OpenBGPD 9.2, which will be arriving in the OpenBGPD directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.

The water needs to be replaced or replenished sometimes, but the shells otherwise clean after themselves. I gave Rianne one adult shell (for her fish tank) to help keep it clean. The birds have also learned how to behave and wait for food without jumping at the window to make noise. They fight less with one another (territorial instincts).

More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 07, 2026 * ⚓ Arduino ☛ Build_your_own_handheld_retro_console_with_the_Arduino®_UNO™ Q_board⠀⇛ Arduino® Project Hub has featured a lot of DIY handheld consoles on this blog over the years. Most of them are impressive, and most of them require at least some custom hardware – a purpose-designed PCB, a specialized connector, a part you can only get from one supplier. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ PICOTTY_project_enables_multi-target_serial_remote management_through_Raspberry_Pi_Pico_boards_and_Pi_Zero_2_W_SBC⠀⇛ PICOTTY is an open-source project enabling serial-based remote management using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W as a hub running a web server for the dashboard, and several Raspberry Pi Pico or Pico 2 boards with an Ethernet add-on to control and monitor the targets over serial. In some ways, it’s a multi-target IP KVM, but without video or mouse, so let’s call it an IP keyboard, since each Pico board acts as an Ethernet-connected USB keyboard, while the Pi Zero 2 W SBC manages all nodes attached to it over Ethernet. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Reading_A_Thermocouple_With_Mercury_And_A_Potentiometer⠀⇛ The potentiometer (instrument) has a galvanometer at its heart. One side of the galvanometer is connected to the center lead of a potentiometer (component) which spans a voltage source; the other side is connected to a reference voltage. The potentiometer can be adjusted until no current flows through the galvanometer, at which point both sides match the reference voltage. The reference voltage source can then be replaced with some other source, which can then be measured relative to the reference by adjusting the potentiometer until both the voltages match. The reference voltage source is a Weston cell, which uses two mercury electrodes, one amalgamated with cadmium, to produce a stable 1.018 volt reference; despite being 74 years old, this particular cell still measured at 1.017 volts. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Addressable_LEDs_Make_Giant_16×2_Character_Display⠀⇛ “LCD” is in scare quotes there, because while the original display is a character LCD, [Uncle Stem]’s embigginated recreation is not. Liquid crystal displays are beyond all but the most dedicated DIYers, so [Stem] recreated the whole thing with addressable LEDs instead — over a thousand of them. Each character got its own PCB, and rather than pay for assembly [Stem] used a 3D printed stencil to help apply solder paste, an idea we’ve seen before. His choice of long lengths of nickel strip — the stuff you spot weld to Li-ion batteries — to join the LED-holding PCBs is also worth noting. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Full_Teardown_Of_A_2026_Amazon_Fire_Stick_HD⠀⇛ After the release of Google’s Chromecast so-called ‘streaming sticks’ have remained a popular form factor, even though such technology is these days part of ‘smart’ TVs. Being curious as to what kind of hardware they put into these sticks or dongles these days, [electronupdate] decided to do his typical full teardown of a 2026 model Fire Stick HD from Amazon, including the typical nekkid die shots. * ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ I_got_a_free_Mini_PC,_and_TurnKey_Linux_made_it_a_cloud- backed_NAS⠀⇛ A free Intel NUC with a 1TB mechanical hard drive was just too hard to pass up. Between my media server and random SMB shares across multiple servers, my important documents were scattered across my network. Putting them on yet another server with a shared folder wouldn’t solve the issue. Cloud-only might allow me to consolidate the storage, but then my files would become access- dependent. What I needed was a blend of local file share hosting and an encrypted copy safely outside my home. Instead of spinning up a new server and messing around with Samba, I installed a TurnKey Linux File Server. The old NUC then became a secure Samba server with Windows file sharing, browser access, and Amazon S3 backups. * § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Cell_Broadcast:_The_Modern_Emergency_Alert_System⠀⇛ Once upon a time, telephones were primarily point-to- point communications systems. There were options for three-way and conference calls out there, but by and large the plain old telephone system was about connecting one handset to another for a direct conversation. For this reason, the telephone was seldom used for mass emergency communications, because it was simply not fit for broadcasting a message to a wide number of people. However, technology has since changed. Our modern phones are all connected to a big digital over-the-air network, and large swathes of them can be addressed all at once if so needed. This has led to the development of emergency warning systems that use the cellular network, with Cell Broadcast being the most notable iteration. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1804 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/07/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/07/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 07, 2026 * ⚓ Soylent News ☛ Forget_the_politics._Let's_get_back_to_our_roots.⠀⇛ Let's talk about fooling around with hand-written lexers in C. It's part of my long running hobby language project. I decided to go for broke and allow nested C style comments, shell style comments and C++ style comments, and for the C style comments to be able to nest and wrap those, kind of like what you'd get with #if 0, so you don't need #if 0. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ John D Cook ☛ The_code_that_didn’t_break⠀⇛ The log, log2, and log10 functions have some code inside that handles large integers specially. It doesn’t simply convert the integers to floats before taking the logarithm. If it did, it would overflow. If you replace math with numpy above, the code will fail. NumPy’s implementation of logarithms is more what I would expect. While playing around with this I also noticed that you can define floats larger than the largest float without warnings. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Rust Weekly Updates ☛ This_Week_In_Rust:_This_Week_in_Rust_663⠀⇛ Hello and welcome to another issue of This Week in Rust! o ⚓ LWN ☛ Rust_Coreutils_0.10_released⠀⇛ Version_0.10 of the uutils project's Rust_Coreutils has been released. This release focused on compatibility with the GNU_Core_Utilities suite, with Rust Coreutils now passing 645 of 690 tests, up from 625 with version 0.9.0. Notable changes in this release include addition of the mv --exchange option, an OpenSSL backend for checksum utilities, applying SELinux labels at creation when using mkdir, mkfifo, and mknod, as well as a number of performance and security improvements. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1876 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/07/Red_Hat_Paid_for_SPAM_Disguised_as_Recommendations_and_Journali.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/07/Red_Hat_Paid_for_SPAM_Disguised_as_Recommendations_and_Journali.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat: Paid-for SPAM (Disguised as Recommendations and Journalism), US Army, Slop Plagiarism, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 07, 2026 * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_Positioned_as_a_Leader_in_the_2026_Gartner® Magic_Quadrant™_for_Cloud-Native_Application_Platforms [Ed: Paid-for_spam from_fake,_compromised_non-experts]⠀⇛ * ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Red_Hat_leads_open-source_project_to_automate_AI governance [Ed: Paid-for Red Hat spam, paid by Red Hat to sell Red Hat]⠀⇛ * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ IBM_and_Red_Hat_Offer_Lightwell_at_No_Charge_to Universities,_NGOs_and_Think_Tanks [Ed: Vendor lock-in is not a gift]⠀⇛ ⚓ Inside_Operation_Jailbreak:_Red_Hat’s_participation_in_the_US_Army’s_open integration_sprint [Ed: IBM Red Hat boasts_about_imperialism, just like GAFAM]⠀⇛ This ambitious effort was created to address the urgent and growing need for US and allied forces to communicate with greater ease, share information at speed, and give leaders the comprehensive battlefield visibility required for decision advantage. The "right to integrate" hackathon made clear that open collaboration is essential to keeping pace with today's operational demands, and that open, documented interfaces are the path forward.  ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Why_IT_security’s_future_is_more_than_just_AI_models [Ed: IBM says the future is slop, then tries to upsell]⠀⇛ An AI agent isn't just a model but rather a complete software stack. Securing this system requires analyzing the core model, the agentic harness, sandboxing techniques, runtime guardrails, data controls, and a host of other underlying infrastructure layers. Crucially, three of those four components—harnesses, sandboxes, and traditional application layers—are fundamentally rooted in software engineering, not the model. ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ The_CPU_is_back:_Rethinking_the_CPU-GPU_split_for_LLM inference [Ed: Slop, slop, and more slop. IBM Red Hat knows nothing else anymore.]⠀⇛ Here we'll examine why the assumptions making GPUs the obvious choice for LLM inference are being renegotiated, what's driving renewed demand for CPU-based serving, and what the data says about where the industry is heading. ⚓ Building_skills_for_AI_agents:_pitfalls_and_best_practices_for_skill development [Ed: Pushing slop as a skill, not Linux]⠀⇛ ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Curing_alert_fatigue:_How_embedded_AI_is_redefining_Red Hat_OpenShift_cluster_troubleshooting [Ed: IBM Red Hat pushing slop.]⠀⇛ Something has to change. It's time to move away from fragmented tools and toward natural language and visualizations where the platform actually shows you the issues and helps you get the work done. If you're running modern enterprise workloads, then you're sitting on a goldmine of operational data — you just can't get to it easily. That's why we are expanding the cluster management capabilities of Red Hat OpenShift Lightspeed by combining it with new companion platform tools, such as the cluster observability operator. ⚓ Red Hat ☛ The_Hey_Hi_(AI)_layer_of_observability:_Making_telemetry_human- readable [Ed: Boasting of slop]⠀⇛ The observability industry faces a cost paradox and an architectural inflection point. Organizations are investing more than ever in observability. The market_is_projected_to_reach_$34.1_billion_in_2026, with 75%_of_teams planning_budget_increases. ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ The_migration_catalyst:_turning_virtualization_disruption into_application_innovation⠀⇛ I find that many enterprise IT leaders are facing a decision that impacts both their business health and bottom-line efficiency. While tactical migration addresses immediate overhead concerns, looking past simple “lift and shift” approaches reveals a compelling path toward platform and long-term cloud-native application modernization. The key point I try to get across when meeting with IT leaders is this: you aren’t just making a decision based purely on the cost of your virtualization infrastructure; you need a platform that can support your organization well beyond this migration and support future-ready pathways ready for innovation. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1992 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/07/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/07/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 07, 2026 * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Thursday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by Debian (7zip, kernel, libde265, and p7zip), Mageia (tomcat), Oracle (fence-agents, frr10, kernel, ldns, libgcrypt, mingw-glib2, nodejs24, osbuild- composer, p11-kit, php8.4, sg3_utils, and thunderbird), Red Hat (libXfont2), and SUSE (containerd, evince, libXfont2, nginx, openssl-3, pcp, php7, php8, python-Django, python-httplib2, python-nltk, rrdtool, vifm, and wireshark). * ⚓ Security Affairs ☛ OVSwrap:_13-Year-Old_Linux_Kernel_Flaw_Lets_Local Users_Become_Root⠀⇛ Security researcher Asim Manizada disclosed OVSwrap (CVE-2026- 64531, CVSS score of 7.8), a local privilege escalation vulnerability in the Linux kernel’s Open vSwitch datapath that lets an ordinary user become root on a wide range of default- configured distributions. * ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Despite_federal_warnings,_thousands_of_U.S. industrial_controllers_used_in_water_systems_remain_exposed_online⠀⇛ A scan of internet-connected industrial equipment found 4,400 exposed PLCs, including 22 in cities recently targeted by water system attacks. * ⚓ OpenSSF (Linux Foundation) ☛ Announcing_OpenBao_v2.6!⠀⇛ We are thrilled to announce the availability of OpenBao v2.6, adding per-namespace sealing and the new workflow engine for cross-plugin communication! * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Hackers_Start_Exploiting_Recent_JetBrains_TeamCity Vulnerability⠀⇛ Tracked as CVE-2026-63077, the critical bug can be exploited without authentication for remote code execution. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Cisco_Patches_Critical_SD-WAN,_IOS_XE,_FMC Vulnerabilities⠀⇛ Patches were rolled out for two dozen vulnerabilities, including one with public proof-of-concept (PoC) code. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Critical_Paperclip_Flaw_Allowed_Admin_Access,_Code Execution⠀⇛ An attacker could self-register, sign in for board-level API access, and import a new company for code execution. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Snowflake_Hacker_Pleads_Guilty_in_US_Court⠀⇛ Connor Riley Moucka was extradited to the United States in July 2025 after he was arrested in Canada.  * ⚓ Krebs On Security ☛ Canadian_Man_Pleads_Guilty_in_Snowflake Extortions⠀⇛ A 26-year-old Canadian man once described as one of the most consequential cybercrime threat actors of 2024 has pleaded guilty to computer fraud and conspiracy to hack and extort more than 165 organizations that used the clown data storage provider Snowflake. Connor Riley Moucka, of Kitchener, Ontario, also admitted to stealing call and text history records of more than 100 million AT&T customers. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Belarusian_Ransom_Cartel_Mastermind_Gets_16_Years_in Prison⠀⇛ Maksim Silnikau was the creator and administrator of the ransomware group and involved in Angler EK’s distribution. * ⚓ Bleeping Computer ☛ New_TONTOU_CPU_attack_bypasses_Spectre_v2_fixes, leaks_Linux_password_hashes⠀⇛ Researchers found a way to bypass recent mitigations for Spectre v2 speculative execution side-channel attacks and developed an exploit to leak secrets from Linux machines. * ⚓ Hacker News ☛ New_Zapscape_KVM_Flaw_Could_Let_Privileged_L1_Guest_Code Escape_to_Linux_Hosts⠀⇛ Zapscape, a new Linux kernel vulnerability, could allow an attacker with kernel privileges inside an L1 guest virtual machine (VM) to escape KVM isolation and execute code on the host.

I am sort of signing off (E-mail at least) and will fully catch up some time in September. This site, however, will continue to pick up news. We'll curate as usual, home and away. We've been doing that for many years. So have others (this site began in 2004, it is a community site and a public service). "I don't expect news to pick up after August," someone has predicted earlier. "It seems to only ever ratchet downwards. Back 25 years ago, aggregators like the late, great Slashdot were essential due to the overwhelming volume and pace of publication. Now, one can pretty much cover (including reading many articles) the full day's output in 3 or 4 hours. I guess the good thing is that [Tux Machines] is able to cover more blogs than anyone else due to RSS / Atom coverage." We already average at about 35 new pages per day. Most contain multiple articles in them, simplifying catch-up processes by consolidating stories and reducing duplication/repetition. █ =============================================================================== Image source: BMW_I8_High_Performance_Car_Rear ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⡟⠿⡈⠈⣆⣀⡰⠈⠇⣄⢀⣆⣀⠉⠁⠀⣄⠀⠀⣶⣷⣶⣴⣾⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⡏⣿⠀⠀⠌⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⡿ ⣿⣿⣿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣧⣴⣤⣧⣲⡏⠉⢉⣬⣽⣧⢰⠀⢸⡀⠀⢈⣹⠀⠀⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠄⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⠘⡇⠀⠀⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⣿⣿⣿⡋⡉⠉⠑⠚⣓⣶⣾⣿⣶⣶⣿⣽⣘⣀⠙⠛⠛⠃⠃⠹⠿⠿⢠⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣷⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠟⠛⠃⢸⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⡂⠀⠀⠐⠒⠒⠂⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⠁⠤⢤⣾⣓⠀⡀⠀⢘⠀⠁⢀⠈⢁⣀⣀⣲⣶⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣾⣷⣶⡾⣿⣷⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⢟⡝⣻⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡍⠀⢆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠍⠛⢳⠮⣆⣰⠮⢿⣧⣼⣿⠟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠉⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣠⣿⣟⣽⣛⣵⣿⣿⡟⣵⣿⣿⠋⡻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⣀⢄⠀⠈⠑⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠈⠖⠽⡳⢶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣤⣭⣭⣉⡉⠁⠈⠁⢀⡁⠀⠙⢺⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⠿⡿⡸⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣥⣥⣿⡍⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⠀⠌⡐⠌⡙⠲⢤⣀⡀⠉⠉⠉⠉⣯⣍⠙⠛⠓⠒⢺⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠑⠃⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⠙⡒⡦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠛⠛⠻⠿⢶⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⢸ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢻⣾⡿⢿⡛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠃⠀⠀⠁⠛⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠿⢿⡿⠛⢹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠰⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣶⣦⣄⣉⣛⣛⣛⣻⠟⠣⠤⠤⠶⠂⢠⣜⣿⣷⣶⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⢿⡟⠻ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠂⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠃⠀⠈⠉⠛⠛⠿⠿⢿⢁⣀⡐⢀⣨⣽⣷⠽⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢛⡽⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠡⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠸⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠐⠘⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⢠⣦⣥⡉⠉⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⢉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣛⣛⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠄⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⠀⠀⠄⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⢿⢠⣰⠰⠆⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠘⠿⣿⣟⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⠀⠀⠘⠀⠉⠄⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠓⠻⠭⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⠆⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠛⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⢰⣬⣵⣒⣂⣠⡠ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣴⣶⣦⣭⣛⣿⣷⣾ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠻ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣄⣭⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2208 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/07/Stable_kernels_Linux_7_1_7_Linux_6_18_43_Linux_6_6_149_Linux_6_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/07/Stable_kernels_Linux_7_1_7_Linux_6_18_43_Linux_6_6_149_Linux_6_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Stable kernels: Linux 7.1.7, Linux 6.18.43, Linux 6.6.149, Linux 6.1.181, Linux 5.15.214, and Linux 5.10.263⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 07, 2026 I'm announcing the release of the 7.1.7 kernel.

Cowrie simulates an SSH server that accepts connections on port 2222 (forwarded from external port 22), logs all attacker activity including commands, file transfers, and credentials, and submits data automatically to ISC DShield. The sensor's logs are archived daily and analyzed for attacker TTPs, campaign patterns, and threat intelligence value. All data referenced in this post was extracted from raw JSON Cowrie logs using jq queries and cross-referenced against AbuseIPDB, VirusTotal, GreyNoise, ISC DShield, AlienVault OTX, Shodan, and Whois. * ⚓ Kyle Reddoch ☛ Vulnerability_Scanning_with_Real_Triage⠀⇛ A practical guide to vulnerability scanning that does not stop at a giant report: define scope, scan safely, prioritize risk, verify findings, assign owners, and track fixes. * ⚓ Thoughtbot Inc ☛ When_to_use_(and_not_use)_CSS_shorthand_properties⠀⇛ Do you know what each of those values corresponds to? Some are obvious. orange is clearly the background color, and the URL is the image. But the numeric values and the content-box/padding- box pair? I have to look those up every single time. That’s exactly the kind of situation where I’d rather just write it out. * ⚓ Hacker Noon ☛ How_Chroot_Explains_the_Filesystem_Isolation_Behind_Linux Containers⠀⇛ When you start a container with Podman or Docker, it feels like you’re starting a completely separate operating system. The container has its own /etc directory. It has its own /usr directory. It has its own /var directory. You can install packages inside the container, edit configuration files, or even remove system binaries without affecting your host machine. At first glance, this seems impossible. Linux only has one filesystem. Your computer only has one root directory (/). So how can a process suddenly see a completely different filesystem? ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2675 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/07/Why_some_tech_users_are_ditching_Android_for_Linux_phones.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/07/Why_some_tech_users_are_ditching_Android_for_Linux_phones.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Why some tech users are ditching Android for Linux phones⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 07, 2026 SailfishOS is not a household name. It has proprietary parts but offers strong support for Android apps on official devices and recently had what the author describes as a good launch of the Jolla 2. The author praises its gesture-based navigation and calls its application framework beautiful. Because SailfishOS is built on Linux, users can SSH into the phone from a PC, either wirelessly or over USB, to troubleshoot or tinker. The experience is far from seamless, though. The unofficial SailfishOS port for the Fairphone 4 ships with outdated versions of Python and glibc, making some tasks harder than they need to be. Waydroid, a tool for running Android apps inside Linux, is broken on the port. So is GPS. Some community-built apps are poorly coded. The author singles out a WhatsApp client they depend on as an example.

You see, as a proper engineer I had the most efficient personal blog. The content was written in markdown, made into a static site using 11ty, filled with custom scripts to process images and videos, custom CSS for fonts, nice clean templates and hand-crafted theme, and scripts to deploy everything with a single npm command. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2752 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/07/Your_favorite_Linux_distro_probably_descends_from_one_of_these_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/07/Your_favorite_Linux_distro_probably_descends_from_one_of_these_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Your favorite Linux distro probably descends from one of these three operating systems⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 07, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇slackware_linux_8.1⦈_ Quoting: Your favorite Linux distro probably descends from one of these three operating systems — Trace the ancestry of many Linux distributions still in widespread use, and the same family lines keep resurfacing. Ubuntu inherited much of its foundation from an older project, while Fedora, CentOS Stream, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux occupy different points along another long-running branch. SUSE took a more circuitous route, absorbing ideas and technology from several early distributions before growing into an ecosystem with its own identity. These connections are not always straightforward forks or direct lines of descent. Package formats, repositories, release models, and administrative philosophies can survive even when most of the original code has changed. Package managers can even outlive the Linux distributions that created them, carrying familiar workflows into ecosystems that developed much later. Follow those influences far enough back, and much of modern Linux converges around three early traditions that found different answers to the same problem: how to turn a kernel and a collection of software into an operating system people could actually install, maintain, and use.
