wants to say it out loud — How-To Geek logo Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents: Regardless of how you personally feel about it, it seems the AI coding assistants are here to stay. Although there are plenty of problems when it comes to AI slop code, vibe coding by people who don't understand the code itself, or the illusions of productivity destroyed by excessive quality control, coders are not letting this one go. I've argued before that AI slop coding could destroy open-source software, and my colleague Jorge Aguilar has shown how Linux has an AI problem with no clear solution. From the outside, looking in, this seems like a very precarious situation, but what are major Linux groups actually doing? Like most things in the world of Linux, it seems everyone has decided to just go their own way.

the frustration, and it just cracked the top 15 distros — Since its inception, AnduinOS seemed to have a very clear goal to make the transition to Linux feel as painless as possible, and it delivered on that well enough. But the extent to which it tries to do that in version 2.0 has grown somewhat. When you first boot into AnduinOS, you're guided through a setup process that makes things feel more familiar. You can customize the taskbar to use the Windows 11 style or something more akin to the classic style of Windows taskbars, you can install a handful of popular apps, and even install a special driver (xpadneo) for the Xbox Wireless Controller, offering better integration and compatibility than the native support. You can even set up Bottles, allowing you to run Windows apps more easily with containerized Wine configurations.

Likewise, when I test the Hyprland tiling window manager/compositor, I think, "When will Hyprland be my go-to?" And then I run into a Linux distribution that not only combines the two, but does so in a way that leaves me wide-eyed in amazement, thinking, "Why hasn't someone done this before?" That was my immediate reaction to MainstreamOS, a Linux distribution that is as polished as any I've ever beheld.

But four is a hard limit, and a handful of icons at the top of the page is the only way it can highlight it. * ⚓ Tomas_Tomecek:_How_Hey_Hi_(AI)_agents_rekindled_passion_for_my_open source_projects [Ed: Fedora and slop in bed together]⠀⇛ This is a short story of how thanks to Hey Hi (AI) agents, I am again passionate about my open source projects, namely pretty- git-prompt (p-g-p in short). * ⚓ Techstrong Group Inc ☛ Red_Hat_Readies_an_MCP_Server_to_Help_LLMs Manage_Kubernetes [Ed: Red Hat wastes efforts pumping up a bubble; this will imperil this company's future]⠀⇛ Red Hat is building an open source MCP server extension to help developers and administrators manage Kubernetes and Red Hat’s own OpenShift Kubernetes distribution. The extension can help Hey Hi (AI) assistants like Visual Studio Code, Abusive Monopolist Microsoft Copilot, and Cursor control and interact with Kubernetes clusters. It is one of a number * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ The_tokenomics_of_self-hosted_LLMs [Ed: IBM peddling slop plagiarism in Red Hat's name]⠀⇛ Paying a cloud API per million tokens is straightforward until the invoice arrives. But when you move to self-hosted large language models (LLMs), the economics flip upside down: you pay for raw compute regardless of whether your GPUs are processing requests or idling. For platform engineers and machine learning operations (MLOps) leads, tokenomics, the economics of how tokens are produced and what they effectively cost, requires looking at both what you spend and how much you serve. Calculating cost per token for self-hosted LLMs comes down to controlling 2 main levers: spending less and serving more. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Accelerate_automation_with_Hey_Hi_(AI)_and_the_Ansible development_tools_MCP_servers [Ed: Ditto]⠀⇛ Ask an Hey Hi (AI) assistant how to lint an Ansible playbook today, and you'll likely get a helpful but generic answer: "Use ansible-lint. Install it with pip install ansible-lint, then run it against your playbook." Correct. But not useful when you already have ansible-lint installed, your team has a custom linting profile, and what you wanted was for the tool to run and fix the violations. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Scaling_agentic_AI:_How_llm-d_enables_infrastructure sovereignty [Ed: IBM Red Hat selling slop plagiarism under the guise of "infrastructure sovereignty"]⠀⇛ For many organizations, this creates a new kind of dependency. They've embraced open models and retained ownership of their data, yet their AI strategy still depends on a single hardware ecosystem. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ From_experiment_to_production:_A_reliable architecture_for_version-controlled_MLOps [Ed: Some more mindless buzzwords for slop]⠀⇛ But, there’s good news. If you’re working in a Red Hat environment, our new AI quickstart helps address this exact problem. It combines the orchestration power of Red Hat OpenShift AI with the "Git-for-data" versioning capabilities of lakeFS. * ⚓ HPC Wire ☛ CIQ_Opens_Direct_Purchase_of_Enterprise_Linux_and_Removes Procurement_from_the_Path_to_Production⠀⇛ The CIQ portal now takes a team from first look to production in one place.

The build host for the architecture is running on a Loongson 3B6000 board provided by the loongfans.cn community. * ⚓ Redowan Delowar ☛ Postgres_as_an_isolation_reference_model⠀⇛ Part of that is because I like thinking in Postgres. There’s also the usual interview move: the system starts at a modest scale, then the interviewer cranks it up by 100x for shits and giggles. With regular Postgres, that may mean manual sharding or switching databases. Either option can change the transaction boundary and force a substantial redesign. NewSQL lets me keep the relational model and distributed transactions as the system grows. * ⚓ Joe Wilson ☛ SQLite_for_Everything_|_JoeCode⠀⇛ In my humble opinion, the power of SQLite comes from three sources: 1. It is rock-solid and stable. 2. It is easy to run, install and scale. Mostly because there is nothing to run. 3. It massively simplifies your IT setup by being not only an RDBMS, but also a full-text search engine, a document store, a cache, a vector index, and a file format. Let’s have a closer look. * ⚓ The Sporks Space ☛ Things_I_want_in_a_modern_relational_query language⠀⇛ I think one of the biggest causes of NoSQL is that while SQL is a powerful language because of the ideas behind it, it’s often implemented in clumsy and archaic ways. A language that learns from SQL could make relational data better to manipulate for programmers. I’ll try to think of things similar to those that I have dealt with in real-world situations and how a better query language could have helped. I’d love discussion on what else could be done. For what it’s worth, my background with RDBMSes is mostly in MySQL and Db2, but I have used SQLite, SQL Server, Oracle, and Postgres in anger enough (in descending order of familiarity). * ⚓ Tara Stella ☛ GixSQL,_COBOL_and_FreeBSD⠀⇛ This is more of a small bookmark for my own sake, rather than a full article. I created a tiny repository with working GnuCOBOL, GixSQL and SQLite examples: gnucobol-gixsql-sqlite-examples It is intentionally small. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 977 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/20/Debian_Tails_7_11_and_experience_at_DebConf_2026_in_Santa_Fe.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/20/Debian_Tails_7_11_and_experience_at_DebConf_2026_in_Santa_Fe.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Debian: Tails 7.11 and experience at DebConf 2026 in Santa Fé⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 20, 2026 * ⚓ Tor ☛ New_Release:_Tails_7.11_|_The_Tor_Project⠀⇛ Automatic upgrades are available from Tails 7.0 or later to 7.11. * ⚓ Sergio_Cipriano:_My_experience_at_DebConf_2026_in_Santa_Fé⠀⇛ Last month, I attended DebConf_2026_in_Santa_Fé, which was my 5th DebConf.

It is designed to reduce the need to press mouse buttons and works with any mouse or pointing device. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Minisforum_N5_Pro_NAS_-_NPU_with_FastFlowLM⠀⇛ Performance with small models is excellent, while an 8B model remains usable for everyday local AI tasks, although very long contexts introduce substantial delays. The OpenAI-compatible server mode is particularly appealing, effectively turning the N5 Pro into a private AI server for other machines on the LAN while leaving the CPU and GPU available for the NAS’s other duties. Linux support for XDNA 2 is still comparatively new, but that should not be confused with being difficult to use. With the required driver and runtime stack already available, getting FastFlowLM running on the NPU proved relatively painless and adds another genuinely useful role to an already unusually capable NAS. * ⚓ Worklenz_-_web-based_project_management_platform⠀⇛ Worklenz is a web-based project management platform that helps teams plan projects, organise tasks, allocate resources and monitor progress.

The ability for machines to make things by themselves spurred increased output and in turn boosted economic growth. The concept became widely popular for manufacturers to implement, as any change with serious economic benefit tends to do. Fast forward to today, and advanced robots and fancy machine vision systems running on powerful computers are the norm in modern factories which create the many wonderful products that we all purchase, use, and enjoy. # ⚓ Naty S ☛ IndieWeb_Homebrew_Website_Club_Asia_Pacific: Reflections⠀⇛ I haven’t had the chance to share my thoughts on the first virtual Homebrew Website Club (HWC) event I hosted two weeks ago!

Disclosure: personal purchase. A good thing about it is that you don't need to know anything about the first game, it's entirely standalone. The first game was good, but this already feels much bigger and better. So what is it? A classic base-building RTS game set during the fall of the Bronze Age. It includes some of the game modes you might expect like offline and online skirmish battles but it also brings with it a full narrative campaign. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ RetroSpace_will_bring_disco-punk_space_horror_on October_1_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ RetroSpace is an upcoming immersive sim that really looks like one to watch blending the worlds of disco-punk and space horror.

The last update we covered was on August 8th. * ⚓ Positech Games ☛ Challenge_UI_for_Ridiculous_Space_Battles⠀⇛ If you played the original Gratuitous Space Battles game about 500 years ago, you will recall that the online challenges were a very popular part of the game. If not, let me explain: GSB was the first autobattler, so its a game where you set up a fleet of space ships (that you designed), give them orders, and then use that fleet to defeat the enemy in a mission (which I called a skirmish) that was designed by me (the developer). HOWEVER, there was also the option to just design a fleet that you thought was a good all-rounder against all foes, and submit a ‘challenge’ to another player (or everyone) and let them fight against your fleet. ⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣲⣾⣿⠿⣻⡁⢹⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣆⠀⣻⡿⣦⣶⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠁⠀⠀⣘⡂⠁⠀⠀⢘⡻⢿ ⠀⠀⠃⣢⣄⠈⠙⠏⠉⡀⠒⠀⢀⢀⡴⠋⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⢸⣿⣥⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡼⢿⣿⣿⣟⠉⠉⠩⠿⠉⠟⠛⠿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡖⠃⠈⠙⢿⣷⣆⡀⠁⣻ ⣿⣶⣶⣋⣁⠀⠀⠀⣴⡇⠀⠀⢿⠉⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⡿⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⡉⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⣃⡀⠈⠝⠿⢿⣶⣶⣷⣶⣾⣶⡂⠀⠀⠀⠈⢙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣀⠀⠀⠠⠠⢫⠀⠀⠉ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣬⢿⣿⣶⠄⠀⠀⢀⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⢲⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣫⠉⠁⢀⢙⣽⡀⠚⢉⣈⡀⠉⠉⢁⡄⠴⣶⣦⡌⢙⣃⢈⣿⣿⣿⣷⡶⠆⠂⠄⢙⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣞⠁⠀⠀⠀⠉⠨⡅ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣬⣿⣿⣷⣦⡀⠀⢉⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⢼⡿⠻⠭⠔⢀⠀⠷⠶⠬⠟⢉⣀⣴⣈⡺⣷⣶⣦⣈⣠⣄⠸⠑⠛⠿⣿⣗⣿⣿⡿⣏⣀⡀⠀⠰⠚⢪⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣢⢔⠒⠀⠀⠐⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⢑⣿⣷⣌⣀⠀⠩⣿⣶⠀⠂⠀⢑⠒⠘⢀⣠⣤⣾⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣷⣮⣄⡀⠀⠀⠉⢛⠿⣧⣤⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠐⡾ ⣿⣁⠿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡾⣿⠿⠀⡉⠳⣾⣿⢿⣷⡆⠁⣠⣤⣶⡾⢻⡿⠍⠀⠃⠈⢹⣿⠏⡟⢈⢉⣩⣾⡩⡿⣿⣶⣧⣤⣬⠀⠀⠉⠙⠿⣿⡗⠺⣤⡎⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⡤⡾⣶⣿⢿ ⣿⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠉⢻⣿⣦⡄⢞⣿⣿⠛⠿⢿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣯⣥⣄⠀⠈⠉⣀⣿⣷⡽⣿⣿⣿⡿⠏⠻⣿⢿⠲⢤⡀⠀⠈⣀⡀⠁⢄⣿⡇⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣵ ⡇⠑⣿⣿⣿⠾⣿⣿⡁⣿⡿⣿⣥⣤⣘⣩⡏⠲⡠⣿⢋⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⢿⣿⠿⣿⠯⢿⢿⣿⣾⣧⡤⣺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡹⠁⠀⠁⠚⣶⣿⠿⠷⢙⣻⡥⢸⣿⡿⢁⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠯⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡇⡀⠙⠻⢷⣶⠃⠋⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠈⠙⠻⣱⣬⣠⣤⡾⢻⢶⡦⢎⡄⠀⢆⡀⠠⠀⠈⣬⡿⠉⣿⣯⣽⣿⡿⡟⠓⢫⡀⠀⠫⢶⣷⡦⢁⣈⣴⡾⠿⠛⠹⠾⣿⠡⢾⣯⣥⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠷⢊⣬⣽ ⣕⣼⣐⣤⣀⠈⠙⠻⢼⣄⣀⠶⣾⣆⢠⢤⡏⠯⠃⠻⢯⢕⠫⠁⢀⠺⠗⣦⣴⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣇⣿⣿⣽⣿⣅⡀⠙⣩⡧⢶⠿⠟⠁⠀⣿⣿⡿⡆⠀⠀⠛⠋⠀⠀⠈⠉⠨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉ ⣟⣿⡁⣻⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⠈⣹⣄⢸⣿⣀⣬⣶⣤⣷⣆⢀⠸⠿⡺⣷⣶⣶⣟⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⠿⡿⢷⣿⣿⢿⡿⠻⡿⠿⡛⠈⠙⣿⣧⣤⣤⡴⠈⠛⠻⣶⣦⡤⢆⣄⡧⣀⣰⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣀⣿⣶⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣟⡟⠉⠩⠁⠀⡁⠀⢠⣶⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣏⠈⠉⣟⣷⣤⠀⠐⠀⠀⣤⣤⣴⣆⣤⡍⠙⣿⠿⡗⢶⡤⣀⣐⢈⣧⡀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⢆⣦⢰⣿⣄ ⣿⣿⠈⢹⣿⣻⣿⡛⢭⡿⢇⠐⢀⣸⣷⣀⠤⠀⣠⣴⣾⣽⣿⣿⣿⡟⠟⠋⠍⠁⢈⠀⠀⢠⣤⣼⡿⣷⣒⠾⣿⡿⢻⡟⠻⣿⣫⣄⡀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢏⣯⣿⣧⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠁⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡀⠉⠛⠷⢮⣞⠡⢄⣭⣄⡜⠀⠀⣌⢐⣻⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⠛⢁⠉⢩⣀⢠⣄⣾⡞⢷⢿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣾⣶⣤⢉⣗⡾⣿⣿⡯⢭⣁⢠⡌⠙⠿⢿⠙⢻⣷⠒⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣟⣿⢿⡍⠛ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣀⠈⠁⢰⡿⠿⣼⣻⣳⢚⣿⣿⣿⣟⢁⠉⠩⠴⣤⡤⠚⠪⢄⣸⡟⠂⠀⠀⠉⣟⣟⠿⡿⠿⠏⠀⣈⢱⡟⠀⢧⣶⣿⢾⡧⣠⣤⣶⣶⣼⡿⠋⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣾⣿⡯⡟⣷⢀⡀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡆⣀⠀⠀⠀⠇⠈⣿⣟⡴⠍⡐⠦⢆⡀⠄⠀⣢⡄⠴⡥⠌⠁⡡⠀⢠⣄⡓⡻⠀⠀⣦⣠⠈⠚⢿⣶⣀⣸⣅⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⠿⠄⣐⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡛⠟⠉⠉⠛⠓⠻⢽⠟⣅ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠈⢀⣀⣴⣄⣀⠉⠙⠳⢶⣆⣀⢸⡛⢻⣭⣬⣄⠄⠐⠦⢗⡐⠀⠀⠈⢹⣿⣶⣄⠀⣡⣷⣦⣍⣹⣿⣿⣿⡗⣿⣿⣿⢻⣛⣺⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠈⠑⠊⠙ ⠿⠿⠻⠿⠋⠁⣀⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣀⢉⡙⠃⠈⣿⡇⠟⢿⠝⡄⠔⠾⢝⣣⠰⠢⠺⢮⣠⢁⣀⡀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⢿⣿⣿⡿⠷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⠌⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠊ ⠀⡀⡠⠠⠔⠫⢽⣫⡟⢿⣿⣿⡟⠯⣿⣽⡟⢿⣿⣉⣓⣄⡀⠈⠛⠻⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣬⣾⠀⠀⢐⣤⣿⣿⣿⣗⡻⠟⣋⣺⣐⡗⡿⣻⣿⣷⡟⠩⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⢀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⣀⡢ ⢀⣁⣉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠾⠝⠿⠿⠃⠀⠸⠚⠿⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⣀⠈⠛⠳⠎⠙⣾⣿⣿⡿⠟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣶⣷⣿⢿⣿⣶⢛⢨⣶⣾⡿⢈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣄⡈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⡂⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣷⣾⣿⣶⣾⣿⣶⣿⣷⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⢰⠀⡿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⠻⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⡛⡽⠑⣧⣝⣿⢟⣱⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢄⢀⠀⢀⣀⣒⣈⣈⣥⣶ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1580 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/20/GUADEC_2026_and_GNOME_Boxes.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/20/GUADEC_2026_and_GNOME_Boxes.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GUADEC 2026 and GNOME Boxes⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 20, 2026 * ⚓ GNOME ☛ Tobias_Bernard:_GUADEC_2026_in_A_Coruña⠀⇛ It’s already a month since we were in Spain for GUADEC and I still haven’t gotten around to writing something, so before I completely forget here are a few quick impressions and photos! Similar to last year, my main focus was on local-first, since that’s what I’ve mostly been working on recently. Julian and I gave_a_talk about Reflection and the p2panda-gobject_bindings, and more generally plans for making local-first sync part of the GNOME developer platform. * ⚓ GNOME ☛ Felipe_Borges:_Decoupling_Boxes_from_the_OS_Release_Cycle⠀⇛ Earlier this month, I published a post about the_future_of Boxes where I detailed the huge technical rewrite I have been doing, porting to GTK4, Libadwaita, and replacing our SPICE display widget with Libmks. Today, I want to share a structural decision that aligns with that vision and sets up the project for long-term health/sustainability. I have formally submitted a proposal_to_remove_Boxes_from_the core-developer-tools_set_in_gnome-build-meta and transition it towards becoming an independent application (with the ultimate goal of applying for GNOME Circle once all criteria are met). ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1629 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/20/Infinity_Linux_lightweight_Arch_Linux_based_distribution.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/20/Infinity_Linux_lightweight_Arch_Linux_based_distribution.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Infinity Linux – lightweight Arch Linux- based distribution⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 20, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Infinity_Linux⦈_ Quoting: Infinity Linux - lightweight Arch Linux-based distribution - LinuxLinks — Infinity Linux is a lightweight Arch Linux-based distribution focused on speed, flexibility, compatibility and straightforward installation.

In fact, some would argue it hurts usability, since icon size and placement are no longer predictable. But as a demonstration of pretty visuals that make an OS feel that little bit more special, it could hardly have been better. Soon after that, Linux was getting in on the game with the introduction of Compiz, a window manager stuffed full of animated effects including windows that caught on fire, wobbled as you moved them, or minimized as if they were a genie returning to a lamp.

It also, however, has a mechanism, called binfmt_misc, that can be configured from user space to enable the transparent execution of programs in just about any format. This feature has been relatively static for years, but it seems likely to receive some significant updates in the near future, including the ability to load BPF programs that can decide how to run a given program. # ⚓ LWN ☛ Even_more_formal_verification_for_BPF⠀⇛ BPF offers useful safety guarantees, but Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi wants BPF programs to be even safer. At the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit, he led a session (slides) discussing the possibility of adding domain-specific invariants to BPF programs. It was not a discussion intended to lead to the implementation of any particular kernel feature, but rather an overview of why additional formal verification might be needed, and how it could work with the existing BPF ecosystem. The BPF verifier ensures that BPF programs cannot violate kernel invariants. They cannot acquire locks in the wrong context, call kernel functions with arguments of the incorrect type, etc. Individual places in the kernel that make use of BPF programs can impose additional requirements. For example, sched_ext has a watchdog that will kick out a BPF program that does not schedule a runnable task within a certain amount of time. All of this is necessary, but not sufficient, Dwivedi said. # ⚓ LWN ☛ KVM_planes_head_for_takeoff_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Virtualization places a guest system into a separate security domain, typically with fewer privileges than software running directly on the host. Increasingly, there is interest in creating multiple security domains within a single virtualized system as well. CPU vendors (and software vendors too) are implementing solutions; each of which, of course, is different from all of the others. KVM planes, currently under development by Jörg Rödel, Paolo Bonzini, and others in the KVM community, is an attempt to provide an abstraction layer that makes all of these features available on Linux systems; it is not a small task. When an operating-system kernel launches within a virtual machine, it typically has full access to all aspects of that machine. Interest in confidential computing, though, is driving efforts to split up that access. So, for example, a virtual machine may have a smaller kernel within it that is charged with implementing a trusted platform module (TPM) in software; if the virtual machine as a whole can manipulate that TPM, its results cannot be trusted. But if the TPM has its own range of memory that only it can access (and which might be encrypted to strengthen that protection) and its CPU state cannot be changed from the containing VM, then it should be secure — until somebody inevitably figures out a way to break that security, of course. # ⚓ LWN ☛ Block-layer_error_injection⠀⇛ Storage code has to cope with hardware that fails in inconvenient ways, but coaxing a healthy disk into producing those failures on demand, for testing, is usually not possible. The kernel provides several ways to inject block-layer I/ O errors, but none of those can select the operation to fail, pick the status code to return, or target a disk directly without employing a stacked device on top. Use of a stacked device means the test runs against the mapper device, not the disk it was meant to exercise. A patch series from Christoph Hellwig adds a configurable error- injection interface that does all three things that the current error-injection code lacks, controlled by a per-disk debugfs file. * § Systems⠀➾ o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ A_look_at_CrossPoint_e-reader_firmware_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ There are a number of small, inexpensive, low- powered e-reader or e-paper devices that have promise as ebook readers with one minor problem: the firmware they ship with does not realize their full potential. To solve that problem, the CrossPoint Reader project looks to provide replacement firmware that offers necessary features, better performance, and a more pleasant reading experience. On August 7, the project released version 1.5.0, which opens large EPUBs more quickly, provides offline dictionary lookups, and has reworked settings for changing layout and font options. The release also improves support for right-to-left text as well as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) text rendering. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Changes_in_shadow-utils_password-expiration_features_ [LWN.net]⠀⇛ The shadow-utils project provides the tools that handle /etc/shadow, /etc/passwd, and other related databases; in general, it manages users and groups on many Linux systems. While most software releases are notable for what is added, the recent shadow- utils 4.20.0 release is most noteworthy for what has been removed. Specifically, several utilities and functionality related to periodic password expiry, which were deprecated in the December 2025 4.19.0 release, have been removed as planned. It is still possible to manage some aspects of password aging with shadow-utils, but organizations that depend on such features should start planning for their complete removal within a few years. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2116 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/20/Linux_Kernel_Software_and_Distros_EasyOS_Garuda_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/20/Linux_Kernel_Software_and_Distros_EasyOS_Garuda_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Linux Kernel, Software, and Distros (EasyOS, Garuda, and More)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 20, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Cinegy⦈_ * § Kernel⠀➾ o ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Dev_uses_Claude_Hey_Hi_(AI)_to_create_native macOS_driver_for_'obscure'_Windows-only_printer_—_GNU/Linux container_hack_enables_system-wide_Cmd-P_printing,_driver_now available_on_Microsoft's_proprietary_prison [Ed: Proprietary-made slop hosted by Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub]⠀⇛ A developer has revealed that they used Claude Code to create a macOS laser printer driver for the HP Laser 1008a, a machine designed for backdoored Windows users.

Yesterday, the project announced that it’s now fully open source, released under Apache 2.0 with LLVM exceptions. The latter means that programs written and compiled in the language won’t have to be released under Apache or any other open source license. “The Apache 2.0 license is the gold standard for programming languages and compilers, because it provides great flexibility to be used in all sorts of applications,” the Modular team said in an announcement on its website. “The LLVM extensions to the license further expand those freedoms for building and distributing binaries compiled from Mojo. We want you to be able to adopt and use Mojo in as many applications as you can imagine.” “The source code for the Mojo compiler, tooling, and everything else you need to build the language are now available in our modular GitHub repository,” the company added.

This long wait was well worth it, as the improvements were immense. From the display and chassis to the battery life, the Framework Laptop 13 Pro proved to be a stellar machine in our review. We rated the Laptop 13 Pro a “very good” 88%. Aside from the repairable and supremely customizable nature of Framework laptops, many users love Framework notebooks because of the company’s stance towards Linux. For instance, the newly launched Framework Laptop 12 gives you the option to choose between Fedora Linux and Windows when you buy a pre-built machine. Read_On!

The portable 2-in-1 convertible laptop brings a 12.2-inch touch display and some much-requested features. Check out our full launch coverage to learn more details, as there is some exciting stuff going on with the Framework Laptop 12. One such thing is that you can order both a pre-built Framework Laptop 12 with the Fedora Linux operating system and Windows. During its official unveiling, Framework revealed that most Framework Laptop 12 users were running Linux on the old model. So, it makes sense that Framework offers a version that comes pre-installed with Fedora. The move seems to have resonated super well with the community, as the Framework Laptop 12 with Fedora is reportedly outselling the Windows version by a wide margin. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2413 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/20/Moving_your_Linux_home_folder_to_a_dedicated_drive_is_the_distr.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/20/Moving_your_Linux_home_folder_to_a_dedicated_drive_is_the_distr.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Moving your Linux home folder to a dedicated drive is the distro-hopping secret I wish I knew earlier⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 20, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Directory⦈_ Quoting: Moving your Linux home folder to a dedicated drive is the distro- hopping secret I wish I knew earlier — When you first installed Linux, you might’ve overlooked the option to use a custom disk setup—and nobody would blame you for doing so.

The base model makes do with the older Gen 3 chip and 8GB of RAM. Though storage stays at 256GB across both, expandable via microSD up to 2TB. Everything else on the hardware carries over from the base model, including the 6.31-inch 120Hz LTPO OLED display, the 50MP main camera with a 13MP secondary and 32MP selfie shooter, the 4,415mAh removable battery with 30W charging, IP55 water resistance, and Gorilla Glass 7i to protect the display. There's also a new Cobalt Blue colorway that ties into Fairphone's fair-mined cobalt supply chain efforts. It joins the existing Forest Green and Horizon Black options.

The jig connects to the provisioning network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi and also features a second Ethernet port for the Compute Module. The CM5 is kept in place by a mechanical clamping mechanism, and the jig relies on pogo pins to interface with the Compute Module. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Smarting_Up_A_Doorbell_With_Zigbee⠀⇛ The build is based around a wired doorbell setup, in particular, a Vistadoor ADV-100. [Philipp] was able to find a simple place to tap in to a signal that went to 5 V when the doorbell was rung. He wanted to hook this into his smart home system as easily as possible. Thus, he grabbed a rather unique part—the ESP32-H2. This is notable in the ESP32 family for having no WiFi connectivity. What it does have, however, is an 802.15.4 radio good for Thread and Zigbee communications. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Mini_Blinking_Barrels_Keep_Desktop_Traffic_In_Check⠀⇛ From there, things switch over to the electronics. Some in the audience will bemoan that he’s using a PIC12F1612 microcontroller to blink a single LED instead of a 555, but [Glen] brought the receipts on this one. Not only does the PIC offer more flexibility in terms of getting the blinking to look the way he wants, but it requires fewer passive components on the board and is considerably more energy efficient than the iconic timer IC. Even if you ignore all the other advantages, he calculates that going with a 555 would have cut the battery life of the finished product by approximately 15%. * ⚓ Interesting Engineering ☛ Australia_wins_US_deal_for_battery_built_for -76°F_to_140°F_extremes⠀⇛ EdgeVOLT is a rugged, modular battery system designed to provide portable power for communications equipment, sensors, field infrastructure, autonomous platforms and other mission equipment.

Solvable, but annoying. Raspberry Pi has a solution for that, now. It's the CM5 Programming Jig (pictured above), one of which they sent for testing. * ⚓ Nick Moore ☛ Three-axis_motion_with_GRBL⠀⇛ For an upcoming project I want to get three axis motion working with linear stages which use a stepper motor and a trapezoidal thread to move in a very accurate way. * ⚓ Macnica_32-Channel_ST_2110,_Linux_Zero-Copy_Media_Pipelines⠀⇛ At IBC2026, Macnica will demonstrate how an open development philosophy, expanded Linux support and mature software and hardware platforms are making SMPTE ST 2110 product development more accessible while helping manufacturers accelerate time to market. Through its MEP100 SmartNIC, M2S Media Streaming SDK and growing ecosystem of technology partners, Macnica enables developers to build interoperable IP media products on the operating system and computing platform that best aligns with their engineering strategy. * § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Dedoimedo ☛ Repurpose_an_old_smartphone_as_an_offline_2FA_token⠀⇛ Smartphones that you no longer wish to use for everyday browsing or whatnot can still be useful for several more years serving as an offline 2FA authentication tool, your own custom hardware token. This may sound a bit avantgarde, especially the offline adjective, but let's explore.

"Due to the current DRAM/eMMC shortage, there isn't any plans to continue producing more Linux devices in the near future," PINE64 announced on the community Mastodon account this week. "Whether production continues or not depends on the pricing situation for those components after mid 2027. Devices like the PineNote and PineTab2 are currently estimated to run out of stock in three months time. Just pre-warning everyone in case people start asking when things are going to be in stock again." Read_On! Also: * ⚓ Pine64_hits_pause_on_Linux_devices_due_to_RAM_and_eMMC_shortage/high prices⠀⇛ While some companies keep increasing prices, the Pine64 community has now announced they don’t intend to manufacture Linux devices due to the current RAM and eMMC flash shortage and related high prices. Pine64 started with the launch of the Pine A64 development board in 2015, and since then they have launched more Arm and RISC-V Linux SBCs, Linux smartphones, and Linux tablets and e- Readers. We used to get several announcements per year, but this year so far, we only covered one: the Pine64 PineVoice. But it’s not a Linux device, and instead, a smart speaker based on a BL602 RISC-V microcontroller. * ⚓ PINE64_pulls_the_plug_on_Linux_devices_because_of_AI_boom_-_OMG! Ubuntu⠀⇛ The open-hardware company has announced it will stop “producing more Linux devices” for the time being, and said it expects its existing stock of certain devices, including the PineNote and PineTab 2, to sell out in the next three months. RAMaggeddon is to blame. The AI infrastructure boom continues apace, with demand for memory and storage chips continuing to reduce supply and drive up costs. If seeing the price of even modest tech – £290 Raspberry Pi 5, anyone? – has made you wince, you’ll understand why a small, cult hardware company like PINE64 feels it can’t compete. After all, PINE64’s entire model rests on making cheap, low- margin hardware for the open-source community to provide software for.

But what if you need to store a Circle or a Rectangle through a Shape base class — and copy it without slicing? That’s std::polymorphic, the other half of P3019R14. It owns a heap-allocated object whose dynamic type may be T or any type derived from T. Copying performs a type-erased deep copy that preserves the dynamic type. No virtual clone() needed. * ⚓ Unmitigated Risk ☛ The_Amnesia_Cycle_and_Why_AI_Is_Turning_Developers Back_Into_Testers⠀⇛ We develop a specialty because a problem is hard. We get good enough at it to encode pieces of the expertise into process, tools, and automation. Eventually the machinery works well enough that the underlying expertise starts to look unnecessary. We distribute the responsibility, automate more of it, and convince ourselves that the problem has largely been solved. Then the system grows, the environment changes, or a new technology arrives and exposes all of the judgment that never made it into the machinery. The responsibility never left. It just changed costume. * ⚓ Jamie Tanna ☛ Why_I_still_hand_write_my_commit_messages⠀⇛ For over a decade, I've been a proponent of writing detailed Git commit messages. I find it a valuable use of my time, and continue to double down on it, even in a world where you can get a Large Language Model (LLM) to write it for you. In the past, I've written about at least 89 strong feelings I have about Git commits, so I'm naturally biased to the benefit of commit messages, but why does this still hold in the current age, where a lot of people are delegating that to an AI agent, if at all? * ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_RcppMsgPack_0.2.5_on_CRAN:_Minor Maintenance⠀⇛ Another maintenance release of RcppMsgPack got onto CRAN today. MessagePack itself is an efficient binary serialization format. It lets you exchange data among multiple languages like JSON. But it is faster and smaller. Small integers are encoded into a single byte, and typical short strings require only one extra byte in addition to the strings themselves. RcppMsgPack brings both the C++ headers of MessagePack as well as clever code (in both R and C++) Travers wrote to access MsgPack-encoded objects directly from R. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Go_1.27_released⠀⇛ Go_1.27, the most recent version of the Go_programming language, has been released with a number of new tools, the addition of support for the ML-DSA post-quantum algorithm, new JSON-processing packages, language updates, and more. * ⚓ Lerd:_A_Free,_Open_Source_Herd_Alternative_for_Linux_and_macOS⠀⇛ If you're on macOS, Laravel Herd is pretty much the default now. On Linux, local dev has long been a mess: Sail stacks eating a gigabyte of RAM each, hand-rolled nginx configs, or a system PHP that breaks every time two projects disagree on a version. And Herd doesn't run there. Even on macOS there's a catch. The core Herd experience is free, but the parts you end up needing daily, the dump viewer, mail capture, the database services, sit behind a Pro subscription. * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Stats and R ☛ McNemar's_test_in_R⠀⇛ In a previous article, we showed how to perform the Chi- square test of independence in R in order to test whether two qualitative variables are related. As mentioned in that article (and in the one showing how to do the Chi- square test of independence by hand), this test requires that observations are independent. When observations are dependent, that is, when the two measurements are collected on the same subjects (paired samples), the McNemar’s or Cochran’s Q tests should be used instead. This article is dedicated to the first one: the McNemar’s test. It is used to compare two related (paired) proportions measured on a qualitative variable with only two possible levels. In practice, it is mostly used when the same subjects are measured twice (typically before and after an intervention), or when two raters or two conditions are applied to the same subjects. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ Q_is_for_Q_-_Python_A_to_Z⠀⇛ Second Django ORM post of the week! First, an important distinction before we start: this blog post is about Django’s Q objects and not about the task queue project Django Q (or its fork Django Q2). Maybe I’ll write about them the next time I need to come up with something for letter Q because that’s not a large pool of ideas. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Rust Weekly Updates ☛ This_Week_In_Rust:_This_Week_in_Rust_665⠀⇛ Hello and welcome to another issue of This Week in Rust! ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3032 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/20/RPM_6_1_Is_Here_with_New_Release_Model_Inspired_by_the_Linux_Ke.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/20/RPM_6_1_Is_Here_with_New_Release_Model_Inspired_by_the_Linux_Ke.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ RPM 6.1 Is Here with New Release Model Inspired by the Linux Kernel⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Aug 20, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇RPM_6.1⦈_ Coming almost a year after RPM 6.0, the RPM 6.1 release introduces a new release model inspired by the Linux kernel, new %define options for expansion at definition and global context, a new macro modifier syntax to support literal and one-shot macros, and new man pages.

Will we soon see AI in shopping carts, waffle makers, heated blankets -- rocks? OK, maybe AI in rocks is a stretch, but you get the point. Microsoft and Apple are embedding their respective AIs into the heart of their operating systems, and some Linux distributions, such as Omarchy, have followed suit. Fortunately, not every Linux distribution has plans to add AI into the mix. In fact, several distros have either explicitly taken a stance against AI -- or have a general ethos that ensures AI will not become part of the OS.

that directory share on the client computer. Using the Abusive Monopolist Microsoft backdoored Windows "Server Message Block" (SMB)/CIFS directory sharing protocol. I have created two Kubuntu 26.04 virtual machines: a Samba server and a Samba client. Samba server: 192.168.122.202. Computer name: ASERVER. User name: sadmin. Samba client: 192.168.122.92. Username: administrator. * ⚓ Identify_GUI_binaries_in_/usr/bin_via_ELF_dynamic_section_inspection⠀⇛ * ⚓ [Proprietary / Vendor Lock-in] University of Toronto ☛ Why_one_of_our systems_had_very_slow_systemd_session_starts⠀⇛ Yesterday I wrote about how on one of our servers, systemd took three seconds to load (user) units as part of setting up your systemd user session. I also mentioned that various operations were unusually slow on the system in general, but I couldn't see anything in our metrics system to suggest slow IO or the like. Today, I solved both problems and it turned out to be our own fault. * ⚓ TecMint ☛ frp:_Access_Local_Services_Behind_NAT_Without_Port Forwarding⠀⇛ frp solves this by reversing the connection direction: your local machine connects out to a public server, and the tunnel it creates carries traffic back in. * ⚓ OSTechNix ☛ Containerize_a_Legacy_Linux_Application_Without_Downtime⠀⇛ Some organizations bring in a software partner to modernize a legacy system without replacing it to manage that risk directly. For teams that want to containerize a legacy Linux application in-house, containerization can provide a controlled starting point by packaging the application and its required runtime dependencies into an isolated, reproducible environment. The steps below walk through the process in order: assess whether the application is a good fit, map its real dependencies, build and test a working container, and roll it into production gradually. * ⚓ Chris Burnell ☛ HTML_Can_Do_That_·_Chris_Burnell⠀⇛ HTML has been gobbling up swathes of what used to be JavaScript’s remit. This page lists a bunch of dynamic functionality that we can now achieve with just HTML. * ⚓ [Old] Conrad Research Corporation ☛ CSS_Nesting_is_Now_Baseline Supported⠀⇛ Nested CSS is now baseline; meaning that it's finally supported across all the major browsers. We've been playing around with it and have found it really improves readability of your CSS. Let's go through some examples. * ⚓ [Old] Ryan Cheley ☛ Migrating_to_Hetzner_with_Coolify⠀⇛ A few weeks ago, I got to watch Jeff Triplett migrate DjangoPackages from DigitalOcean to Hetzner1 using Coolify. The magical world of Coolify made everything look just so ... easy. Jeff mentioned that one of the driving forces for the decision to go to Hetzner was the price, that is Hetzner is cheaper but with the same quality. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3786 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/20/Web_Browsers_Web_Servers_Feed_Readers_Anubis_Netscape_Navigator.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/20/Web_Browsers_Web_Servers_Feed_Readers_Anubis_Netscape_Navigator.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Web Browsers/Web Servers/Feed Readers: Anubis, Netscape Navigator, Firefox, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 20, 2026 * ⚓ Xe's Blog ☛ Anubis_continues_to_expose_new_ways_people_configure webservers⠀⇛ TL;DR: if admins turn off browser features, those features won't work in confusing ways that are annoying to debug * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Chrome,_Firefox_Updates_Patch_Dozens_of Vulnerabilities⠀⇛ Google and Mozilla on Tuesday announced fresh Chrome and Firefox security updates that address multiple critical- and high-severity vulnerabilities. * ⚓ Jamie Zawinski ☛ Netscape_Navigator_3.0_was_released_30_years_ago today⠀⇛ As I mentioned in my post on the 2.0 anniversary, what you knew of as "3.0" had internally been slated to be the "2.1" bugfix release, to be soon followed by a 3.0 release based on the Collabra rewrite, but that new team face-planted so badly that we had to pretend this bugfix release was a feature release instead, and the Collabra shitshow eventually became the disastrous "4.0" release (with intervening "3.01" and "3.02" bugfix releases nearly a year after the 3.0 release!) * ⚓ Harry Roberts ☛ Unattributed_Navigation_Overhead_(UNO)_Is_Underrated⠀⇛ UNO is a residual rather than a browser-provided metric. We calculate it by starting with the full navigation-to-first-byte duration and subtracting the known phases: UNO = TTFB − redirect − DNS − connection − request-to-response-start The connection phase already includes secure connection setup, so you don’t need to subtract TLS a second time. If your tooling splits TCP and TLS for display, those two parts should add back up to the full connection phase used in the calculation. * ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ a_filename_when_none_exists⠀⇛ Starting in curl 8.10.0, curl works a little harder to come up with a filename to store the download in when -O is used.

A basic graphical desktop was available through the X Window System, and full-blown desktop environments eventually appeared (like KDE 1.0 in 1998), but the terminal was still required for getting the most out of a Linux system. These days, a terminal is rarely required when using desktop Linux. You can usually install software, change settings, manage files, and upgrade your operating system without ever typing a command. So, why is it still a popular way to use Linux, and why do so many online guides still ask you to use it?
