█▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Fedora and Red Hat Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 13, 2026 * ⚓ Copr:_PyPI_dependencies,_resolved_and_built_for_you⠀⇛ Say there is a Python package on PyPI that you would like to build in Copr. And the project itself is not packaged in Copr or in the Fedora repositories, and neither are all of its dependencies. So the manual way of doing it would be to check which of its dependencies are not yet packaged in Fedora and build them in the right order. Miss a dependency and you only find out several minutes later, from a build log. * ⚓ Cybernews ☛ Emergency_Flatpak_fixes_released:_full_sandbox_escape possible⠀⇛ Flatpak, one of the main ways Linux users get their applications, has disclosed several vulnerabilities, including a critical one that enables a sandbox escape with full host access. Flatpak is a universal software tool for Linux that lets users install desktop apps with all required dependencies and run them isolated from the rest of the system. However, a critical vulnerability enables a malicious sandboxed app to obtain arbitrary read and write access to files on the host, which can be further escalated to arbitrary code execution, an advisory on GitHub warns. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Just-in-time_access_to_HashiCorp_Vault_using_the_Red_Bait 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". A breach of a long-lived credential that's used to read a range of content from the secrets management system has a potential blast radius to negatively impact the security posture of an organization. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_check_if_your_model_is_supported_by_vLLM_in_Red_Bait AI⠀⇛ The release of new large language models (LLMs) continues to accelerate. Thankfully, the vLLM community has worked hard to keep pace with the rapid release of new model architectures, often providing Day 0 support for newly released models. This leaves users asking the question, "What version of vLLM do I need to run my model?" Determining compatibility comes down to matching your model's underlying architecture against vLLM release capabilities in three practical steps. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Extend_zero_trust_workload_identity_manager_to_virtual machines_with_Red_Bait_OpenShift_Virtualization⠀⇛ Containers on Red Hat OpenShift can get automatic cryptographic identities through zero_trust_workload_identity_manager, but workloads running inside a virtual machine (VM) cannot. In this tutorial, I demonstrate how I bridged that gap using a virtual socket (VSOCK) and a dedicated in-VM SPIRE agent to give every workload — whether it's running as a container or as an application inside a VM — a short-lived, automatically rotating SPIFFE identity. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Build_a_DIY_pipeline_for_a_trusted_software_supply_chain⠀⇛ Prominent attacks on software development pipelines have resulted in significant financial impact for companies and brought their build processes under scrutiny. While the attack vectors on pipelines are virtually limitless, this article focuses on securing components, processes, and tools involved in building and deploying containerized software through signing, attesting, and verifying a build image. I chose to implement a do-it-yourself (DIY) approach to help understand these concepts. * ⚓ Rocky_Linux_founder_Gregory_Kurtzer_builds_OpenWALDO_as_a_true collaborative_open_source_community_for_AI_-_Carroll_County_Mirror- Democrat⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 301 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/13/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/13/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 13, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇text_editor⦈_ * ⚓ MicroEmacs_-_compact_Emacs-like_text_editor⠀⇛ MicroEmacs is a compact Emacs-like text editor suitable for experienced programmers and beginners.

At the recent Homebrew Website Club I talked about a question we hear all the time at the 32-Bit Cafe: “What should I put on my website? I don’t know what to put on my website.” These web surfers have the HTML and CSS basics down. Their homepages are full of badges, blinkies and custom cursors. What they don’t have is content.

While watching filme with a real projector has its own charm, it is inconvenient to say the least. First of all you make the entire room properly dark or you can't see anything. This is regardless of the fact that the projector bulb is consuming 100 watts of power to show the image. Even if you manage not to burn the film merely running it through the projector causes wear, scratches and tearing. While film typically ages very well, eventually it will turn into magenta goop or gets eaten by vinegar syndrome. Thus you'd really want to convert all these films into high quality digital files. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 638 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/13/FSF_Copycat_Software_Freedom_Conservancy_Makes_Copycat_FSF_Ward.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/13/FSF_Copycat_Software_Freedom_Conservancy_Makes_Copycat_FSF_Ward.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ FSF Copycat "Software Freedom Conservancy" Makes Copycat FSF Award ("Award in Software Freedom"), Gives it to IBM Staff That Tried to Cancel FSF Founder⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 13, 2026, updated Aug 13, 2026 * ⚓ Software Freedom Conservancy ☛ My_Introductory_Comments_for_Mark Wielaard's_2026_Distinguished_Service_Award_in_Software_Freedom [Ed: Rewarding IBM staff for cancel culture?

I was caught off guard since I am a regular chess player and I was intrigued by Gambonanza, that takes the familiar chess pieces and their moves and put them in a totally different context with different victory conditions. In each level, you have to capture every single piece on increasingly chaotic boards while managing your boosts, bonuses and pieces that you collect in your reserve. The concept is simple: you’re playing chess, but the board starts tiny (roughly 4×6 tiles), pieces can literally fall off the edges if left unmoved too long (some tiles disappear after a while!), and victory means eliminating every enemy unit rather than checkmating a king. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Asobi_Remote_Play_app_lets_gamers_stream_PS4_and_PS5 games_on_the_Steam_Deck,_even_without_a_console_—_dev_breaks_PlayStation Plus_Premium_cloud_gaming_support_free_of_the_PlayStation_Portal⠀⇛ PlayStation Remote Play allows you to stream games from your PS4 or PS5 console to a variety of devices locally, but the Asobi: Remote Play service goes farther by extending the PlayStation Portal's exclusive PlayStation Plus Premium cloud game streaming support to the Steam Deck and other GNU/Linux devices. * ⚓ Wouter Groeneveld ☛ Why_I_Play_Board_Games_(And_So_Should_You)⠀⇛ The reason why this thought bubbled into my head is Blaise Pascal’s criticism of games and leisure time in general. According to Pascal, we’re all squandering our valuable time and should instead be looking for God by living the ascetic way devoted to prayer and spiritual growth. After his (second) intense spiritual experience, he began to ponder the way in which we invent all kinds of means to distract us from the more pressing and urgent questions of life and death (Graham Tomlin’s words): [...] * ⚓ Juan J Martínez ☛ Outpost_progress⠀⇛ This game is my attempt to make a “big” 48K game, using 100% my own code. Previously, when I worked on 48K games, I was using the sp1.lib shipped with Z88DK. That library is very good, but it uses a lot of memory. And that’s why my Castaway is a tad short. * ⚓ Ata Kuyumcu ☛ Nobody_has_reached_the_bottom_(yet)⠀⇛ I’ve stopped adding rooms.

Atuin does a great job of better organizing what is usually handled by "bash_history" and collecting meaningful additional data. Our reader David commented that this can also be done quite well with Linux's kernel process accounting feature, and I think he is very right. I really like Linux process accounting for a number of reasons, so here is a quick introduction. Process accounting is a kernel feature. You will not see a specific process responsible for it. Instead, the "accton" command signals the kernel to start logging process data to a specific location (usually /var/log/ account/pacct). Once a process terminates, the kernel will log respective details to the binary log file. * § Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ TecMint ☛ Rio_Terminal_for_Linux:_Speed_Up_Your_Command-Line Workflow⠀⇛ That’s usually when the new terminal gets blamed and uninstalled, even though the problem isn’t really the terminal itself. * § WINE or Emulation⠀➾ o ⚓ PC World ☛ This_free_tool_lets_you_run_Windows_apps_on_Linux⠀⇛ If you’ve ever thought about switching to Linux, but worried about leaving your favorite Windows programs behind, Wine is a great way to ease the transition. Despite the name, Wine isn’t a drinking app—sorry to disappoint the Linux vinophiles out there. It’s a decades-old open-source compatibility layer that lets many Windows applications and games run directly on Linux, macOS, and BSD without installing Windows itself. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Weeks_9_&_10:_Multi-Select_and_Mobile_Selection_Mode⠀⇛ Over the last two weeks, I worked on adding multi- select support for deleting multiple entries at once. It sounded like a straightforward feature at first, but it ended up leading me down an interesting debugging involving an asynchronous race condition. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Flipper Blog ☛ Flipper_OS_—_the_operating_system_for_Flipper One⠀⇛ Why build Flipper OS, yet another operating system, when there are already so many? Why not simply take a standard Debian-based system, as Raspberry Pi does, and customize it? The problem is that conventional Linux distributions are designed for traditional computers/servers. They are not convenient for a multitool like Flipper One, which can be a network router, a radio lab, a desktop computer, or a TV media box all on the same device. o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ Dan Langille ☛ Attempting_to_reproduce_the_missing_etcmerge from_15.0_to_15.1_upgrade⠀⇛ This post documents my attempt to reproduce the problem outlined in FreeBSD... o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ I_ditched_Unraid's_app_templates_for_Ubuntu, and_my_homelab_finally_took_off⠀⇛ I used Unraid as my only home server platform for nearly five years before I decided to jump ship to a traditional Linux distro. Unraid was still working well for me, but there were just one or two things it didn't excel at, and those areas are right where Ubuntu shines. [...] When I first started my most recent homelab back in 2021, it was all centered around one machine: my Lenovo RD440 rack-mount server running Unraid. It did everything for me. It was my storage server, virtual machine system, and Docker host. I had one system and it honestly handled my needs just fine. I was actually surprised at how well Unraid handled being a jack-of-all-trades operating system. At the time, TrueNAS didn't offer Docker support in a stable version of its operating system like it does today, and the jails that it did have were nowhere near as capable as Docker on Unraid. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 933 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/13/Graphics_Games_LACT_10_Million_Pixels_Bottles_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/13/Graphics_Games_LACT_10_Million_Pixels_Bottles_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Graphics/Games: LACT, 10 Million Pixels, Bottles, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 13, 2026 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Get_some_awesome_indie_adventures_and_some_fun_short games_in_two_new_Humble_Bundles_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Humble Bundle recently launched two great new bundles where you can stock up on some Awesome Indie Adventures and a Short Games Showcase.

Some give up and move to a hyperscaler platform offering a guided path from experiment to production. They get the path. They also get the lock-in. Bring your own agent (BYOA) is Red Hat AI's approach: the platform provides production infrastructure for any agent framework without code changes.

Ubuntu — LightDM is a backend that handles logging in to user sessions. A GUI ‘greeter’ sits on top for user interaction. Ubuntu used the unity- greeter, but other distros and desktops roll their own. Linux Mint switched to LightDM in 2017 with slick-greeter as the login screen. Canonical built LightDM to replace GDM – it made its debut in Ubuntu 11.10 – as a nimble, desktop-agnostic alternative that was easily adaptable. Ubuntu stopped using LightDM in 2017, when it switched back to GNOME Shell and GDM. Others didn’t, including various Ubuntu flavours. LightDM’s code stayed under Canonical’s auspices but, per original maintainer Robert Ancell, was ‘essentially unmaintained’. It’s last release was in 2022, and most development activity (reviewing merge requests) stopped in in 2024. Fast forward to 2026. Questions over its future were raised by Fedora’s Neal Gompa (as various Fedora spins use LightDM to power their login screens). Cutting a long story short, people keen to continue it stepped up and, with blessing from Ancell, a handover happened.

The new chip also powers a host of AI upgrades, including improvements to Gemini Intelligence, which Google says can now pull more context from supported apps to proactively surface useful information. There are also new voice-to-text tools that remove filler words and clean up formatting, while writing assistance can use what’s on your screen to help draft, rewrite, and refine messages. Live Translate is also available on videos, podcasts, and voice messages, and Circle to Search now works directly through the camera, letting you identify objects, translate text, or search your surroundings without snapping a photo first. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1366 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/13/LWN_Articles_on_Kernel_and_2026_Linux_Storage_Filesystem_Memory.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/13/LWN_Articles_on_Kernel_and_2026_Linux_Storage_Filesystem_Memory.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ LWN Articles on Kernel and 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 13, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Bernd_Schubert⦈_ * ⚓ LWN ☛ The_beginning_of_a_process-builder_API⠀⇛ The recent discussion on "spawn templates" raised questions about whether it was time to provide an alternative to the classic Unix fork()/exec() pattern for process creation. One idea that was raised there was to shift the template pattern into an interface that could be used to efficiently assemble new processes from bare cloth, without duplicating the parent process. Preferably, that interface would be able to implement posix_spawn(). Li Chen, the author of the spawn-template work, has now responded with a patch series (written with significant LLM assistance) showing what a process-builder API for Linux might look like. In the Unix model, a call to fork() (which ends up being a variant of clone() on Linux systems) creates a copy of the calling process, which involves a fair amount of work. The child then typically modifies its environment in whatever ways are necessary — opening or closing files, for example — before making a call to execve() to run a new program. That latter call ends up throwing away most of the work that was done to copy the parent process, which is not entirely efficient. In cases where the intent is to immediately run a different program, a better model might be to piece together the new process from the beginning, without involving (much of) the parent process's state. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Reconsidering_O_CREAT|O_DIRECTORY⠀⇛ Linux provides a system call (mkdir()) to create a directory, and a few variants of open() that can open a directory. There is, however, no system call in Linux that can create and open a directory in a single, race-free call. Jori Koolstra has been working on remedying that situation, most recently by repurposing a set of open() flags that currently return an error. There are, however, concerns that show just how hard it can be to create user-space interfaces that do not present traps for application developers. Creating and opening a directory in a single system call is simpler and more efficient than using two, of course. It also can guard against the possibility that some other process will, between the creation and open steps, replace a directory with something else. Detecting that case is possible on Linux now, but it requires some defensive programming of the type that application developers are not always good at. Thus the desire for a more straightforward way to accomplish that pair of operations. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Buffer_sizes_for_FUSE_io_uring⠀⇛ The Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) subsystem provides a way to service filesystem requests from a user-space server, which moves the format-handling code out of the kernel. The FUSE server can use the io_uring facility for better performance, but Bernd Schubert is concerned that memory is being wasted because the current implementation has a single, large buffer size that is excessive for small I/O operations. He led a discussion on that topic in the filesystem track of the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit in Zagreb, Croatia. Currently, libfuse sets up eight entries per ring, with each entry defaulting to the maximum payload size (8MB), though switching to 4MB is also possible, he began. Normally one or two entries per ring are needed to achieve maximum throughput to the disk (which can be local or over the network), but there is also a need to handle metadata requests, for operations like stat() or directory listings. ""You don't want to disturb your streaming I/O while you are doing these metadata requests"". Those smaller requests might be 16KB or 128KB. In order to saturate the I/O bandwidth with requests of that size, however, a larger number of buffers is needed. ""The question is how we do this."" The existing implementation uses entries with a separate header and payload structure, but each has the same payload size. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Examining_other_network_namespaces_using_BPF⠀⇛ Jordan Rife's work involves writing BPF programs for Cilium that interface with Kubernetes networking. As part of that work, he wants to enable BPF programs with appropriate permissions to iterate through the sockets of a different network namespace. He led a session about the idea at the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit where the BPF developers in attendance were quick to suggest a number of related alternatives. Socket-lb is a Cilium feature that uses the hooks for sockets associated with a given control group to balance connections across remote servers, while avoiding the per-packet overhead of network-address translation (NAT). In a setup that does not use socket-lb, a client might make a request to a frontend server that then uses NAT to route the connection transparently to a chosen backend server. Socket-lb improves on this by having the routing happen directly on the client device, still transparently to user space, but avoiding the extra network hop implied by NAT. In practice, socket-lb has some limitations, Rife said. If a selected backend goes away, for example, traffic will continue to be directed at that non-existent backend until Cilium cleans things up. Today, the software does that by using BPF iterators to walk through the available sockets and destroy them if needed. * ⚓ LWN ☛ FUSE_status_and_plans⠀⇛ Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) maintainer Miklos Szeredi led a birds-of-a-feather (BoF) discussion about the subsystem at the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit. In it, he talked about maintenance challenges, proposed features and their status, and his plans for a new FUSE API. There is a lot of interest and activity in the FUSE community these days it seems. He began by noting that he feels he ""is not a good maintainer"". There are two parts to being a maintainer, he thinks, ""one is to keep bugs out and the other is to let features in"". He is good at the first, but not at the second. One way to address that is for FUSE to have a co-maintainer. ""If someone volunteers, I'd be very happy."" There were some, perhaps joking, suggestions made by attendees, but no one stepped up to help co-maintain FUSE itself. * ⚓ LWN ☛ The_future_of_libraries_in_BPF⠀⇛ Song Liu believes that the way that programmers assemble complex BPF programs will be changing rapidly in the future. At a session of the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory- Management, and BPF Summit, he shared his thoughts on what that change could look like, though he did not have any concrete proposals for what, if anything, the BPF maintainers should do. He anticipates an ecosystem of Rust BPF packages developing, which is significant because BPF does not really have a package manager at the moment. There are not many existing, popular BPF libraries, Liu said. Those that exist are generally small header-only libraries, or deal with the user-space side of loading and managing BPF programs. It is not impossible to have BPF libraries; bpftrace has a standard library. Bpftrace can also import non-standard- library BPF C code in a manner similar to inline assembly in normal C code. ""But I'm not sure people actually do this,"" he added. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠤⠤⢤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠒⣲⣶⣶⣚⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣯⣴⡄⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣤⣄⣀⣀⣠⣦⣤⡀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣧⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡿⠛⠉⠉⠉⢹⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⢸⡘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠸⣷⣦⣀⡀⠀⢀⣽⣿⣦⣤⣾⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⡀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣅⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠛⠛⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⠟⡿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⣆⣅⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⢄⠀⠀⠙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⣿⡆⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠋⠁⢀⣀⣠⣴⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣸⣿⠃⣿⣷⡀⠀⡀⠘⠻⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢠⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⡀⢠⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠸⡄⣧⡀⢻⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⢹⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⢙⣾⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡾⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣛⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⡟⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⢠⣶⡟⠉⠛⠛⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣯⡻⡇⠀⠈⠛⠻⠛⣡⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⣾⣏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠃⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⢰⡏⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⡟⠀⣠⡞⠃⠈⠑⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠏⠀⠀⠀⠈⠳⢄⣸⡟⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠘⠿⠇⠐⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢧⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠉⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1580 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/13/Microsoft_s_Latest_Move_Will_Accelerate_the_Adoption_of_GNU_Lin.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/13/Microsoft_s_Latest_Move_Will_Accelerate_the_Adoption_of_GNU_Lin.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Microsoft's Latest Move Will Accelerate the Adoption of GNU/Linux at the OEMs/Channel⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 13, 2026, updated Aug 13, 2026 Crossposted_from_Techrights Windows has fallen to an all-time low internationally and in lucrative_markets.

Should they use your daily driver or something different? Well, here are five distros I'm seriously considering for my own kids—and the reasoning behind each choice. Most distro recommendations for kids focus on simplicity, but I believe children deserve more credit. The only reason we find something simpler (or more complex) is because of our background and prior experiences. However, to a child who's never used a computer, there's no baseline for 'simple' or 'complex'—learning most computing workflows will offer a similar level of challenge. This is why I'm not focusing on "easy-to-use" distros but on exposing them to different computing workflows with practical, real-world benefits.

Rather than targeting everyday consumers, Forlinx is aiming primarily at commercial clients. As is typical for such hardware, the company does not publicly disclose pricing information. Given its entry-level hardware, the AM62L32 Local EVM is not suited for use as a desktop system. It is powered by Texas Instruments' AM62L32 SoC, featuring two Cortex-A53 cores clocked at up to 1.25 GHz, paired with a modest 512 MB of LPDDR4 RAM. On the storage front, the board includes 8 GB of onboard eMMC flash—a feature not always guaranteed on single-board computers—along with a microSD card slot for expansion. Software support covers Linux 6.12 distributions.

When you run CREATE FUNCTION, plx transpiles the body to plpgsql and stores that plpgsql in pg_proc.prosrc. At run time the function is executed by PostgreSQL's own plpgsql interpreter. There is no separate language runtime loaded into the backend, and nothing new to run in production. * ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ SynchDB_1.4_Released_-_Oracle_Container_Database_Support and_TLS-Secured_FDW_Snapshots⠀⇛ Dear Community Members, We are excited to announce the release of SynchDB 1.4, a PostgreSQL extension for real-time replication from heterogeneous source databases into PostgreSQL/IvorySQL. This release extends Oracle Container Database support to every Oracle replication path, allows snapshot connections to be encrypted, and improves stability under sustained replication load. * ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ New_Modern_JDBC_Driver_for_PostgreSQL⠀⇛ Sehrope Sarkini along with Claude has written a new JDBC_driver from scratch. It's currently in pre-release. Here's an excerpt from his blog § PostgreSQL-first. The native API is designed around PostgreSQL's wire protocol and feature set. It is not designed around the lowest common denominator that JDBC has to support across every database on earth. If PostgreSQL can do it, the API should be able to say it directly. * ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ Dasha_-_performance_dashboard⠀⇛ Dasha is an open source performance dashboard for PostgreSQL fleets. It connects to your clusters with a read-only role, shows what the databases are doing right now, and explains what to do about it. Nothing is installed on the database hosts: no agent, no extension beyond the ones you already have. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Tailscale_says_deeply_buried_16-year-old_SQLite_bug caused_last_year's_outages⠀⇛ The Tailscale team announced in a Wednesday blog post that it had finally addressed the issue with the help of SQLite maintainers, who even had to create a new tool (with Tailscale funding) to log virtual file system activity in order to track the thing down, which Tailscale software engineer Alex Chan described as resisting “all our initial attempts to find it.” ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1834 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/13/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/13/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 13, 2026 * ⚓ Sandor Dargo ☛ C++26:_std::indirect⠀⇛ C++26 adds two new vocabulary types in &nl;memory>, introduced by P3019R14 (Coe, Peacock, Parent). From the abstract: [...] * ⚓ Peter Mbanugo ☛ A_Crash_Course_on_Concurrency:_Build_a_Tiny_Scheduler from_Scratch⠀⇛ Concurrency is something we use and experience every day. Yet, concurrent systems fail in interesting ways, for various reasons. One of them is that some of us don’t understand how the concurrency runtimes or libraries we use work, which leads to poor use. I’m not going to argue Async/Await vs Fibers or Coroutines, I’ll leave that to the details of my P99 Conference talk coming up in October 2026. * ⚓ KDAB ☛ µ-Boosting_Your_CMake_Productivity_with_Environment_Variables⠀⇛ Save yourself repetitive typing: CMake can read configuration values straight from environment variables, letting you set your preferred generator, enable compile_commands.json, and more - once in your shell config, applied to every build folder from then on. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ K_is_for_keyword_arguments⠀⇛ In PyCon US 2013, Raymond Hettinger talked about writing beautiful, idiomatic Python. It’s a great talk but for this post, I’ll focus on what he talks about around 30 minute mark. He shares an example (which dates the talk and example nicely; those were the times) o ⚓ Adam Johnson ☛ Python:_introducing_emojet,_a_fast_emoji_lookup library⠀⇛ emojet is an emoji library for Python: it converts between emoji and their names, in both directions, plus the searching and lookup functions that go with that. It covers the core API of the emoji package, a library that been available for this job since 2014, using the same names and the same data. The difference is that emojet does the work in Rust, running 3.5x faster for conversion, 70 times faster for deconversion, and using about 40% less memory. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ John D Cook ☛ Cryptic_but_consistent⠀⇛ Although the command line is cryptic, it is also consistent. On the command line, and in Unix [1] culture more generally, ! refers to a command. For example, you can run a command from inside the Vim text editor with the :! command. And $ often refers to the end of something, such as the end of a string in a regex. So you type !, telling the shell that you’re about to refer to part of a string, then type $ to specify that last part. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1928 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/13/QEMU_11_1_0_Released_with_Recent_ARM_CPU_Support_QMP_Monitor_Ho.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/13/QEMU_11_1_0_Released_with_Recent_ARM_CPU_Support_QMP_Monitor_Ho.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ QEMU 11.1.0 Released with Recent ARM CPU Support & QMP Monitor Hot-Plug⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 13, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇QEMU⦈_ Quoting: QEMU 11.1.0 Released with Recent ARM CPU Support & QMP Monitor Hot- Plug | UbuntuHandbook — QEMU 11.1.0 added support for very recent ARM CPU architectures, especially the newer FP8 + SVE/SME AI features and MTE security features.

In fact, one of the last true 32-bit- only CPUs was the Pentium 4 Northwood chip, which was available for purchase between 2000 and 2008. I can't remember the last time I actually saw a 32-bit-only machine. Couple that with Microsoft ending support for Office 365 on 32-bit architecture this December, and it's pretty simple to conclude that 32-bit PCs are done. But wait! Before you draw that conclusion and recycle all of those old 32-bit systems, there's always Linux. You're probably thinking, "Haven't most distributions given up on the 32-bit architecture?" Yes, many have. But others have decided that 32-bit, single-core systems are still viable. Although it's nearly impossible to determine how many such systems are still in use, it makes perfect sense that Linux would support them.
