posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 11, 2026 * ⚓ TecMint ☛ Hyperswitch_on_Linux:_A_Self-Hosted_Payment_Switch_for Multiple_Processors⠀⇛ But things can quickly become more complicated. You might need a second processor because the first one declines cards from a particular country, then you may want to add payment retries. Over time, the payment logic can end up scattered across multiple services and become difficult to manage. * ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ QPDF_12.4.0_Released_with_zsh_&_bash_Shell_Completion Rewritten⠀⇛ QPDF, the popular command-line tool for transforming, inspecting, and repairing PDF files, released new 12.4.0 version today. The new version of this free open-source software library and CLI tool rewrote the Tab completion function for zsh & bash shells, introduced a few security updates, and fixed various issues. * ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ Transmission_Will_Possibly_Be_Forked_into ReTransmission⠀⇛ Transmission, the BitTorrent client that’s default in Ubuntu (when installed in “Extended selection” mode since 24.04), will be possibly forked into “ReTransmission”. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 307 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/11/Audiocasts_Shows_Late_Night_Linux_and_LINUX_Unplugged.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/11/Audiocasts_Shows_Late_Night_Linux_and_LINUX_Unplugged.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Audiocasts/Shows: Late Night Linux and LINUX Unplugged⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 11, 2026 * ⚓ Late_Night_Linux_–_Episode_398⠀⇛ Reports of desktop GNU/Linux adoption numbers are probably exaggerated, the Steam Frame seemingly gets closer, Valve’s European logistics partner leaks people’s data, Proxmox gains Arm64 support, GNOME Boxes makes some changes, and a quick KDE Korner. With guest hosts Chris from Linux_After_Dark, and Sean from Hybrid_Cloud_Show. * ⚓ Jupiter Broadcasting ☛ The_Last_Shutdown_|_LINUX_Unplugged_679⠀⇛ An old GNU/Linux box powers down for the last time as we unwind its history, and the entire show, back to the beginning. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 342 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/11/CachyOS_Has_New_Release.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/11/CachyOS_Has_New_Release.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ CachyOS Has New Release⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 11, 2026 * ⚓ CachyOS ☛ CachyOS_August_2026_Release⠀⇛ The CLI installer had a bunch of fixes and refactoring, with added experimental support for the upcoming Server Edition installation profiles. The installer received several desktop-specific changes. Hyprland now uses noctalia-greeter instead of SDDM, switched lightdm greeter to lightdm-slick-greeter for Cinnamon, added gvfs-dnssd to GNOME, also cosmic-monitor got added to Cosmic. * ⚓ Distro Watch ☛ Distribution_Release:_CachyOS_260809⠀⇛ The CachyOS project has published a new snapshot. The distribution's August release features improvements to the system installers, the welcome window, and handheld device detection. * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ CachyOS_is_Laying_Groundwork_for_The_Server_Edition⠀⇛ The CLI installer's new experimental profiles target the upcoming Server Edition, while Shelly gets a full rewrite. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ CachyOS_gets_improved_handheld_detection_in_the_August release⠀⇛ CachyOS is one of the most popular Linux distributions and they've released their August release with lots of bug fixes and a few new features. Based on Arch Linux, it's a rolling distribution so if you're already on it you just run updates as normal, but for new users it brings an updated ISO to burn to a USB and installer improvements - like improved handheld detection which should make the experience of using CachyOS on various PC gaming handhelds a lot nicer. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 406 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/11/Fedora_and_Red_Hat_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/11/Fedora_and_Red_Hat_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Fedora and Red Hat Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 11, 2026 * ⚓ FOSSLinux ☛ Fedora_CoreOS_Explained:_Beginner_Guide_to_Container_OS⠀⇛ Fedora CoreOS is an automatically updating, immutable operating system built for containers. This beginner guide covers Ignition provisioning, automatic atomic updates via Zincati, why oomd is disabled, and when CoreOS beats regular Fedora. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ MiDojo:_Improve_Hey_Hi_(AI)_agent_security_with_real-world red-teaming [Ed: Mostly slop promotion from IBM's Red Hat these days]⠀⇛ The "bring your own agent" (BYOA) approach lets you build with your preferred framework while relying on Red_Hat_AI for enterprise identity, isolation, guardrails, and observability—a model we recently detailed in our BYOA_operationalization guide. But there's a question before any agent should touch production data: will this agent do something unintended when someone attacks it? Not the model—the agent. The whole system of model, tools, and data working together. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ The_hidden_complexity_of_AI_inference_systems⠀⇛ Inference, by contrast, appears deceptively simple. Once a model's been trained, the assumption is serving predictions should be straightforward: load the model, send requests to it, and return results. In reality, production inference systems are among one of the most complex distributed systems to operate reliably at scale. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Beyond_the_hypervisor:_How_a_service_provider migrated_thousands_of_workloads_to_a_unified_application_platform⠀⇛ Similar to how many are responding in the face of this virtualization disruption, Abacus took the opportunity to build a modern, unified hybrid cloud foundation. Featured technologies included Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Virtualization, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, and the migration toolkit for virtualization. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Harden_local_container_base_images_in_Podman_Desktop⠀⇛ Containers changed how software gets built. Build once, run anywhere, ship faster, scale farther. That part worked. The problem is what comes with the image: pull a base container and you're not just getting a runtime, you're inheriting a full package tree you didn't choose, don't need, and won't maintain when a Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure (CVE) drops. That's the supply chain problem, and it's not abstract. The gap it creates is real: what builds clean on your laptop hits a wall at the platform gate. Not because your code is wrong. Because no one built the container for production. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Just-in-time_access_to_HashiCorp_Vault_using_the Red Hat Ansible_Automation_Platform_OIDC_provider⠀⇛ Centralized secrets management platforms, like HashiCorp Vault, enable organizations to protect some of their most sensitive values (think passwords, tokens, or any type of content that may be deemed protected). Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform includes integrations for several popular secrets management platforms, including HashiCorp Vault, to enable accessing secure values during automation execution. However, regardless of how secure a secrets management system is along with how it protects the content it stores, one of the biggest challenges that organizations need to contend with is handling how consumers access the secrets management platform—also known as the "secret zero problem".

Some of these we have relatively complete plans for, others are more vague ideas that need more research and prototyping. As always, getting things like these implemented depends on developer capacity and interest (and sometimes funding). While each of these ideas may require additional discussion, prototyping, and testing, we (the design team) have collected them all together here to share our longer-term vision and to give each idea more visibility.

Major projects are establishing divergent policies, ranging from the GCC’s restrictive "hard line" stance driven by legal safety and compiler precision, to the Linux kernel’s maintainer-led pragmatism, which prioritizes personal accountability and deep understanding. Meanwhile, the Kubernetes community has adopted a disclosure-based utility model to manage transparency and alleviate maintainer burnout, while Debian continues to grapple with the philosophical implications of AI through democratic resolutions focused on software freedom.

A 99.99% SLA allows for only about 52 minutes of downtime per year.

Many people, even many Linux fans, dismissed this proportion as fake news. However, the last time I looked at the numbers in 2025, Statcounter only showed a high of just over 5%. As I mentioned in my recent report, Linux doubling its market share in just over a year should get everyone's attention. I dug deeper and found that data from popular content delivery network Cloudflare also showed that the Linux desktop has been gaining popularity. By its count, desktop Linux has now reached 6.4%. That proportion is not as high as StatCounter's, but it represents significant growth given that Linux accounted for 4.1% of North American operating systems for the same period last year. Cloudflare's dataset is much larger than StatCounter's. StatCounter monitors about a million websites, while Cloudflare keeps an eye on over 24 million websites. Cloudflare itself claims to cover about 20% of the web. A deeper look also reveals that desktop Linux use tends to peak during the work week. For example, believe it or not, on Monday, 6 July, when people were back after the 4 July holiday, Linux usage jumped to a high of 22%.

Each peer has a public/ private key pair and a list of networks reachable through the peer. The difficulty isn’t WireGuard’s cryptography; it is managing a useful network of machines that move around. Each node gets a 100.x.x.x IP address and a DNS name that allows you to talk to it over an encrypted tunnel directly (at least, usually). Suppose your laptop is at a coffee shop, your Raspberry Pi is behind your home router, and a server is sitting in a VPS somewhere. None necessarily has a convenient fixed public address. Both of them may be behind carrier-grade NAT. Their addresses may change. Somehow they need to discover one another, exchange enough information to establish secure connections, and update that information as circumstances change. * ⚓ Himanshu Anand ☛ I_found_a_VM_escape_bug_in_KVM_and_someone_else_got there_first⠀⇛ I independently found a heap out-of-bounds read/write in KVM’s SEV-SNP Page State Change handler.

Intel had already been working on native HDMI 2.1 FRL support for Linux in 2022, but that development subsequently largely disappeared from view. On August 7, 2026, Intel’s developers returned with a new series comprising no fewer than 44 patches. The target is Meteor Lake and all newer platforms. Practical progress is already visible: According to the developers, modes such as 4K at 120 Hz work on lightly tested Panther Lake hardware. Nevertheless, the work is still far from complete. The patch series is explicitly under review, has not yet been included in the mainline kernel, and does not currently support Display Stream Compression over FRL. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2084 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/11/Mozilla_Thunderbird_Firefox_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/11/Mozilla_Thunderbird_Firefox_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Mozilla: Thunderbird, Firefox, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 11, 2026 * ⚓ Thunderbird ☛ Thunderbird_Blog:_Desktop_Calendar:_A_Design_Journey⠀⇛ Hello, Thunderbird community and followers of the blog!

The calendar is a key part of any productivity toolset, from your PC Desktop to your office wall. There has been a calendar in Thunderbird since early in the project, and like all parts of the application, it’s evolved on its own terms, for better or for worse. It has many layers of functionality, but the experience has lost parity with current UI standards — at this point, it feels stylistically dated and functionally convoluted. * ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Mozilla_Security_Blog:_Updated_GPG_key_for_signing_Firefox and_Thunderbird_Releases⠀⇛ Today, we moved to a new GPG signing subkey used to sign certain Firefox and Thunderbird artifacts (namely GNU/Linux tarballs, RPM packages, checksums files) after an unencrypted copy of the previous subkey was inadvertently committed to a private Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub repository. * ⚓ Firefox_Tooling_Announcements:_Firefox_Profiler_Deployment_(August_10, 2026)⠀⇛ The latest version of the Firefox_Profiler is now live!

This was a time you had to buy Ethernet NuBus card and install both Ethernet drivers and TCP/IP ones. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2152 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/11/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/11/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 11, 2026 * ⚓ Varun Gandhi ☛ Reviewing_code_is_a_skill⠀⇛ Intended audience: Software developers interested in getting better at developing software. Initially, I meant this post more for junior developers, but some parts are more applicable for tech leads etc. So if the post appears a bit muddled, please accept this apology from my inner Pascal, “Sorry, I did not have the time to break it up into two posts.” * ⚓ Sebastian ☛ an_ambiguity_in_c89_which_will_never_be_fixed⠀⇛ for those unaware: c89 has a cool "feature" where, if you try to call a function which doesn't exist, rather than erroring out, the function is implicitly declared as a function with unspecified parameters returning int. * ⚓ Anna Liberty ☛ Iteration_in_Literate_Programming⠀⇛ Literate Programming is the process of writing documentation embedded with source code, rather than writing them separately as is more usual with software engineering. This provides a collection of benefits, but it requires reshaping how you think about the software development process. * ⚓ MaskRay ☛ Estimating_branch_probabilities_|_MaskRay⠀⇛ LLVM's BranchProbabilityInfo assigns every multi-successor terminator a probability distribution over its successors. This post describes the estimation used when no profile is available and reimplements it as a standalone program. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Rakulang ☛ 2026.32_Dan_Floating_Hex_–_Rakudo_Weekly_News⠀⇛ * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ Django_moves_to_an_annual_release_cycle⠀⇛ The Django Python web-framework project has announced that it has accepted an annual_release_cycle_proposal. This means that the project is moving from a somewhat complicated_schedule that interspersed short-lived feature releases and long-term-support (LTS) releases to a simpler annual cycle where each release is supported for three years. o ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ I_is_for_immutable_-_Python_A_to_Z⠀⇛ Then at some point — maybe at an advanced class at the university, at a meetup or in the always peaceful and polite discussion forums on the web — you’re introduced to the idea of immutability (not capable of or susceptible to change). Someone comes hype the idea of functional programming that you’ve never heard of. They start talking about how changing variable state is so error-prone and pure functions is where the game should be played at. o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Where_I_put_default_values_for_options_in Python's_argparse_and_why⠀⇛ I wrote the other day about an irritatingly incompatible change in Python 3.14's argparse, where if you deferred setting a default value until later, certain argparse things would now error out. In a comment, Ian Z aka nobrowser asked (in part): [...] o ⚓ Python ☛ Django_is_moving_to_an_annual_release_cycle⠀⇛ Django's Steering Council has accepted the Django Enhancement Proposal DEP 20 to move Django to an annual release cycle. From January 2028, Django will make one feature release a year, giving every feature release the LTS-level three years of support, and version numbers will carry the feature release year: Django 2028, then Django 2029, and so on. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Niko_Matsakis:_Cylic_trait_implementations:_motivation⠀⇛ Lately I’ve been thinking about cyclic trait implementations. This is a problem that I’ve been trying to understand for years and years and I finally feel like I’m geting somewhere. I’m going to try to write out a series of blog posts documenting those explorations and, hopefully, culminating in a design that could be RFC’d. In this first post, I want to talk about one of the interesting questions, what I am going to call “internal” vs “external” proofs. I know that this material can seem abstract, so I’m going to try and connect it to “real Rust” as much as possible! This particular blog post is an introduction, explaining the general problem and giving some motivation for why we care. o ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ AI_Can_No_Longer_Rampage_Through_Rust's_Code_Repo⠀⇛ The new rust-lang/rust policy allows AI-written code only under a narrow, disclosed experiment, and doesn't apply to the wider Rust project. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2297 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/11/Resisting_Misogyny.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/11/Resisting_Misogyny.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Resisting Misogyny⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 11, 2026, updated Aug 11, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Singapore⦈_ 10 years ago (nearly a decade away from now, not the very distant past), around the time we visited Singapore, there was a storm in US politics. Obama's presumed successor, who was certain she would win, saw how ruinous and embarrassing leaks of E-mails from her campaign gave wings to the person she assumed would never ever win. This happened again in 2024 with Harris. The seemingly unelectable insurrectionist showed that this was considered OK with enough voters. The world has not been the same since. There was also Brexit, enabled by rogue social control media (Facebook/Cambridge Analytica) and now we have misogyny normalised. In the US, the man who sexually_assaulted_many_women, participated in trafficking of women for sex (Epstein) and said "grab her by the pussy" (it was recorded; he didn't and doesn't deny this) is considered politically acceptable and politicians are afraid to remove him from power. In Free software, misogyny runs the show [1, 2] and tries to silence women. Worse yet, American_misogynists_try_to_deplatform_a_site_that_is_not_American and is run from many countries that aren't American. These are basically lunatics would abuse their own spouses, then abuse the spouses of others [1, 2]. We know who_funds_them. We stand with (and for) equality, justice, and freedom. We want to make this very clear. We won't surrender to misfits and abusers who strangle_women. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Singapore

SparkyLinux was created 14 years ago as a fully configured, ready-to- use operating system that can replace other, heavier, commercial operating systems. Sparky was and is aimed at users of “old” computers, often sitting in a corner and unused due to their age. Sparky can give them a second life. A year ago, Debian dropped support for 32-bit Live/Install ISO images, so Sparky dropped it as well. This decision has been reassessed, as it turns out there are still a significant number of people in the world who own “really old,” still functional computers with 32-bit processors.

Search is still unreliable, useful context-menu options are hidden behind an extra click, and Windows can use my internet connection to help distribute updates to other PCs through Delivery Optimization. Add in Microsoft's recommendations I never asked for and constant interface changes, and there's no shortage of reasons to consider leaving Windows. The biggest reason not to is the learning curve. Switching operating systems sounds like it means relearning basic tasks, replacing familiar apps, and spending hours figuring out the terminal. That may have been true years ago, but desktop Linux has come a long way. With the right distro, switching can feel less like starting over and more like moving into a cleaner version of the desktop you already know. You’ll still need to check that the apps and hardware you rely on work with Linux, but the desktop itself no longer has to be the difficult part of the switch.

I can understand the reasoning, but I disagree with it. The system setting option being lumped with the selected theme feels a tad too magical to me (and not in the intuitive way). It feels like it is taking my control away as a user. * ⚓ Lukas Mathis ☛ ignore_the_code:_Toggles_Considered_Harmful⠀⇛ I think toggles originated on iOS, where they replaced checkboxes. I suspect the reason is that they feel more tactile on a touchscreen, have a larger touch target, and resemble physical switches - Apple's original UI design approach for iOS valued this kind of skeuomorphism. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3067 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/11/Zyphor_OS_Linux_distribution.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/11/Zyphor_OS_Linux_distribution.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Zyphor OS – Linux distribution⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 11, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Zyphor_OS⦈_ Quoting: Zyphor OS - Linux distribution - LinuxLinks — Zyphor OS is a Debian and Kali-based Linux distribution focused on simplicity, performance, and learning.
