Here is an overview of a few of those things. ✐ LibMKS at 120hz⠀✐ I wanted to get my virtual machines to 120hz so that I can start testing product features inside of VMs. In fact, I actually like doing development with virtual machines over say, trying to shove all your development tooling in a sysext which, at least to me, feels like square-peg/round-hole territory. To get this working, a few things needed improvements. * ⚓ GNOME ☛ Christian_Hergert:_Recent_Developments_Part_II⠀⇛ Earlier this year as I drift abroad in France, I made a new abstraction over Avahi and systemd-resolved. It is called librebonjour and I_wrote_about_it_here. It’s nice in that I no longer need to build Avahi to get GObject bindings to essentially call a D-Bus interface. It’s also nice to not have to care as an application developer if the system is configured with Avahi or systemd-resolved. Though, the systemd-resolved abstraction was lacking a bit compared to Avahi due to missing features. When you are browsing for services using Avahi, you can be notified automatically of changes. This doesn’t quite work the same in systemd-resolved. Librebonjour had to set a timer and poll occasionally for updates and compare old-to-new sets to notify the application. Not very ideal. When looking at a recent systemd checkout, I noticed that it already had support for the notification over its varlink interface. A handfull_of_commits later to hoist a few things and handle client disconnections/isolation properly and I can have the feature for librebonjour too. One more dependency I can cut out of my system (there will be many more coming, I assure you, as GNOME is heavy with cruft). * ⚓ GNOME ☛ Christian_Hergert:_Recent_Developments_Part_III⠀⇛ One of the larger bits of work I’ve been doing crosses many core projects. I’m motivated to switch to GNOME OS across multiple form factors, but to do that, homed and related tooling need quite a few functional gaps fixed. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 166 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/22/Clownflare_At_Certain_Times_of_the_Day_or_Night_GNU_Linux_Excee.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/22/Clownflare_At_Certain_Times_of_the_Day_or_Night_GNU_Linux_Excee.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Clownflare: At Certain Times of the Day (or Night) GNU/Linux Exceeds 1 in 10 Globally⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 22, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Siting_kids⦈_ GNU/Linux is growing up fast 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇HTTP_requests_by_OS_time_series_worldwide⦈_ Today's Clownflare data measured GNU/Linux (worldwide) at 9.2% - the highest point since August 2nd when it reached 10%.

Both Clownflare (above) and statCounter suggest so. Last night Clownflare measured GNU/Linux at 10% in Canada - something that's considered quite normal. Add ChromeOS on top of that and it's around 12%-13%. Extend the range or scope to 12_months to understand just by how much GNU/Linux grew. ChromeOS is at about 2.5% (average). █ =============================================================================== Image source: A_map_of_the_hemisphere_centred_on_-95,_60,_using_an_orthographic

When you finally sit down to figure out what actually happened, the most important thing—the logs—are gone. Overwritten. Lost in the rush. No clear trigger, no breadcrumbs, just a black hole where your root cause should be. It's like showing up at a crime scene after the evidence has been wiped clean. * ⚓ Copr:_Throwing_224_Cores_at_rpmbuild⠀⇛ In Fedora Copr, we maintain a special tier of build machines known as High-Performance_Builders (or as we call them internally, “powerful builders”). Historically, gaining access to these machines required some manual intervention. Maintainers had to write to us, and we would enable them for specific projects or packages based on matching regular expressions. I’m happy to say those days of manual labor are over. This process is now entirely automated thanks to rpmeta (expect a dedicated blog post on this soon). * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Red_Hat_Ansible_development_workspaces_for_governed automation_content_creation⠀⇛ Onboarding a new automation developer is rarely quick.

One of the primary hurdles data science teams face is the fragmentation of their initial workflows. To build effective and accurate models, teams must be able to seamlessly connect multiple data sources to enrich, query, visualize, and annotate datasets.

Unfortunately this model didn’t have a replaceable battery, so it was difficult to change. Also I thought it was the good time because we had just released the Murena GS6 and GS6 Pro, which seemed to check all the things I wanted to have in a phone. A good opportunity to test it “in real life”, not as a CEO looking at a spec sheet, but as a daily user. As a side note, it’s also been a great way to test our new /e/OS Backup feature with a real load of data: all my installed apps, settings, accounts… I switched phones in less than an hour, and everything was there. This feature alone changes the experience of replacing a phone.

The kit is based on a 3.97-inch monochrome e-Paper touch display and also supports LoRa and NFC long-range and short-range connectivity. The devkit features 8MB PSRAM, 16MB flash, a microSD card slot, a PDM microphone and buzzer for audio interaction, a 6-axis IMU, an RTC, and a few buttons and an RGB LED. The Paper Mono doesn’t come with any expansion port and is powered by a USB-C port and a 1150 mAh battery. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ NXP_MCX_C15_and_C16_low-cost_Cortex-M23_MCUs_target_IoT, analog,_and_motor_control_applications⠀⇛ We recently noted that NXP expanded its MCX A series with the MCX A5 Cortex-M33 family, integrating 10BASE-T1S Single Pair Ethernet, topology discovery, and PQC for industrial connectivity. However, it’s not the only recent announcement from the company, as NXP also expanded the lower-cost MCX C series with the MCX C15 and MCX C16 (C1 family) Cortex-M23 MCUs designed for industrial IoT and analog applications. The new C1 family provides a straightforward migration path from LPC800, LPC1100, and Kinetis MCUs, with full pin-to-pin compatibility with the newer MCX A Series. These low-cost entry-level devices feature a 16-bit SAR ADC, a high-speed comparator with DAC, an internal OpAmp, and FlexPWM for motor and power control. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Espressif_Systems_releases_a_GNU/Linux_BSP_developer preview_for_ESP32-S31_RISC-V_microprocessor⠀⇛ The ESP32-S31 microprocessor is getting GNU/Linux support from Espressif Systems. The ESP32-S31 dual-core RISC- V microprocessor was first unveiled in March, two ESP32-S31 development boards followed in May, and mass production was announced a few weeks ago. The new RISC-V chip features an MMU (Memory Management Unit), which makes GNU/Linux much easier to handle, and the development boards also come with 16MB PSRAM, so a minimal GNU/Linux image is possible. Moving from theory to practice, Espressif Systems has now released a developer preview version of the ESP GNU/Linux BSP for ESP32-S31, and some community GNU/Linux ports are also in the works (more on that at the end of the article). * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ ESP32-S3_handhelds_with_3.97-inch_e-paper_and_optional LoRa/NFC⠀⇛ M5Stack’s new PaperMono and PaperMono-Lite are compact ESP32- S3-based e-paper development platforms built around a 3.97-inch grayscale touchscreen. Both models include Wi-Fi, microSD storage, an IMU, real-time clock, frontlight, microphone, buzzer, and an integrated 1150mAh battery, while the higher-end PaperMono adds LoRa and NFC connectivity. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ K230_handheld_couples_AMOLED_display_with_LoRa_and keyboard⠀⇛ LILYGO has updated its T-Display K230 handheld, packaging its Kendryte K230-based development platform into a compact enclosure with a physical keyboard. The device combines dual- core 64-bit RISC-V processing with a 4.1-inch AMOLED touchscreen, LoRa, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, camera support, HDMI output, and an nRF52840 companion microcontroller. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ EPIC_SBC_packs_Ryzen_AI_X100_with_dual_2.5GbE_and_triple M.2⠀⇛ IEI has detailed the NANO-X100, a compact EPIC single-board computer based on AMD’s Ryzen AI Embedded X100 Series. The 115 × 165mm board integrates 64GB of LPDDR5X memory, dual 2.5GbE networking, three M.2 expansion slots, four USB 3.2 ports, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs, and multiple serial interfaces for embedded and industrial applications. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Building_A_Hammond_Organ_To_Understand_How_They_Work⠀⇛ The Hammond organ is an early form of electronic– or perhaps electromechanical– musical instrument. It solved the very real problem of organs normally being the sort of thing you built into a cathedral, allowing a similar sound to fit into a piano- like form factor. Their workings are a so simple that it’s hard to wrap your head around it actually working– which is why [Uri Tuchman] built one on YouTube. Also for a gift exchange, but we’re not Santa, here– we’re here to learn, and [Uri] does not disappoint. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Building_A_Discrete_Component_75_Baud_Modem⠀⇛ The project takes advantage of the fact that the V1.54 firmware for the CB2 Micro enabled 75 baud serial communication. Thus, it made sense for [sv3ora] to build a 75 baud modem to suit. As was the way in the days of dial-up [Internet], the modem modulates data into audio, demodulates audio back into data, allowing the CB2 Micro to send and receive data over telephone lines, ham radio links, or to store and retrieve data via mediums like cassette tape. * ⚓ [Old] Digi-key Electronics ☛ Ambient-Light_Sensors_Mimic_the_Human Eye⠀⇛ There are many different ambient types of light sensors on the market today and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Let’s now look at some representative light sensors, each with a slightly different take on the art of mimicking the human eye. * ⚓ Macnica_Fortifies_Linux_Servers_With_New_Offerings_Getting_IBC Spotlight⠀⇛ How can an open development philosophy, expanded Linux support and mature software and hardware platforms make SMPTE ST 2110 product development more accessible while helping manufacturers accelerate time to market? Macnica has an answer and it will demonstrate how one can reach these goals at IBC 2026 in Amsterdam, scheduled for September 11-13. * § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Android Police ☛ Privacy-focused_GrapheneOS_to_launch_on_Motorola flagship_phones_in_2027⠀⇛ We’ve known for over a year that privacy-focused GrapheneOS was ditching its Pixel exclusivity and coming to a Snapdragon-powered phone from a major Android OEM. Then in March, we found out that the manufacturer is Motorola. And now we know when we can expect to see the phone (actually phones plural) and a few other details, too. In a post on Mastodon, GrapheneOS said that initial devices will be available in 2027. While they won’t ship with GrapheneOS, they will receive support from Motorola. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1337 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/22/OpenSUSE_Planet_News_Roundup_and_Tumbleweed_s_Review_of_the_Wee.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/22/OpenSUSE_Planet_News_Roundup_and_Tumbleweed_s_Review_of_the_Wee.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ OpenSUSE Planet News Roundup and Tumbleweed's Review of the Week⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 22, 2026 * ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ Planet_News_Roundup⠀⇛ This week highlights KDE Gear 26.08, KDE Frameworks 6.29, openSUSE Asia Summit 2026 publishing its pre-schedule, a Google Summer of Code 2026 final report on modernizing openSUSE’s OBS status service and much more. * ⚓ Dominique Leuenberger ☛ Tumbleweed_–_Review_of_the_week_2026/34⠀⇛ Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, This week saw the release of 6 snapshots (0813, 0814, 0815, 0817, 0818, and 0819). The prominent desktop update of the week is the delivery of KDE Frameworks 6.29.0 in snapshot 0817. On the core system side, snapshot 0815 brought a major version bump to the system alternatives configuration engine with libalternatives 2.0, and the default Go system compiler was upgraded from version 1.26 to 1.27. A key theme of the week was security updates and CVE fixes across several central components. Flatpak arrived with critical sandbox escape fixes, Vim delivered a substantial bundle of vulnerability patches, and Python 3.13 was updated to address several upstream security issues. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1388 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/22/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/22/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 22, 2026 * ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Keep_coding_when_your_[Internet]_drops:_Offline_support in_the_Code_Editor⠀⇛ Our free, browser-based Code Editor now keeps working when your [Internet] connection doesn’t.

We are enabling it by default on nightly to surface any remaining issues and plan to stabilize it in the next months. This is the largest single change to the Rust compiler since its initial release. It completely replaces how we prove where-clauses, normalize associated types, and much more.

One of the most prominent proprietary tools is github.com and the non-FOSS parts of gitlab.com (and a longer tail of other platforms). A while ago I came across Give_Up_Microsoft's_proprietary prison_GitHub from the Software Freedom Conservancy which is on one side of this. My opinion remains nuanced and split.

What has changed is that your text is now UTF-8, your locale is no longer C, and the sloppy pipelines that were fine on a 2014 ASCII man page will quietly hand you wrong numbers today. * ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ LHB_GNU/Linux_Digest_#26.10:_systemd_Playbook, Redirection,_"forgit"_and_More⠀⇛ Time to explore systemd * ⚓ EKS_Finally_Lets_You_Touch_the_Control_Plane_Knobs_You’ve_Been_Faking with_Workarounds⠀⇛ EKS now lets you tune the scheduler, HPA sync period, event retention, and NodePort range directly on your control plane — here's what each one actually does and where it bites. * ⚓ Emmanuel_Kasper:_Moving_software_development_to_separate_VM_to_reduce credential_scavenging⠀⇛ § Rationale: I was remembered via https://unit42.paloaltonetworks.com/ chaindrop-npm-worm-analysis/ (linked from https://anarc.at/ blog/2026-08-18-people-vs-ai-overlords/) of the risk of downloading untrusted packages in a dev environment. * ⚓ Data Swamp ☛ How_to_setup_your_own_IPFS_private_network⠀⇛ In this blog post, you will learn how to make a private IPFS network that will allow private peers to exchange data between each other. This is in opposition to the default setup in which you use the default configuration connecting to the whole IPFS network. The incentive to have your own network is mostly speed, because this does not have any extra access control, any peer can potentially access to any content you have in your IPFS network. If you do not know about IPFS, I wrote some blog posts, but otherwise IPFS website may give you some clue. It is not easy to grasp, but you can see it as a network service providing content addressed object storage. The base blocks provide features to manage data in the network but also cache it or provide it through a web gateway. * ⚓ Josh Collinsworth ☛ In_defense_of_two-state_theme_toggles⠀⇛ In case you haven’t kept up on the most recent bikeshedding discussion in frontend: there’s a lively debate going on over the merits of a simpler two-state theme toggle (light/dark), vs. a more explicit three-state toggle (with dark and light, plus a third “system” option), and whether the clarity of that third option is worth the additional complexity it introduces. But let’s back up to where this discussion started, and talk a little bit more about the details and tradeoffs those two approaches, before I start weighing in on what I think is (and is not) ideal, and why. * ⚓ Clayton Errington ☛ Hosting_a_service_with_TailScale⠀⇛ This can now be fully public, or still private to those devices connected to your network. Overall, TailScale and the network has been a great reliable tool for me to connect from remote locations and still have all the same access as if I was at home still. The idea of using the Funnel was to provide a service I host at home to the public so from other devices, I do not need to be on the network. * ⚓ Linux.org ☛ Orange_Pi_6_Plus_and_Pimox_8.4.10⠀⇛ In this article, we will look at the Orange Pi 6 Plus and then we will go over the instructions to install Pimox on it. Pimox is a fork of Proxmox that runs on an ARM processor. The Arm processors may be slower, but the fork of Proxmox is nearly exactly like the one for regular desktop systems. * ⚓ Linux.org ☛ PocketBeagle_2:_Setup,_Imaging,_and_Internet_Access⠀⇛ The device we will cover in this article is a newer version of the PocketBeagle, which is covered here. We can go over the newer specs and use the PocketBeagle 2. If you look back at the original Pocket Beagle article, you can see pictures of the board next to a quarter. The PocketBeagle is a little larger than a quarter, and the second version of the board is still the same size. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Two_ways_to_play_and_stream_video_in_the_Linux_terminal⠀⇛ A few years ago, I discovered the joys of listening to music via the command line. Despite my background in TV and production, I've never been much of a video guy. But that changed (slightly) when I discovered a few cool ways to play and stream video to my Linux Terminal. * ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ I_deployed_OpenClaw_on_a_laptop_and_learned_exactly_where it_hits_its_limits [Ed: Bots sold as slop or "AI"]⠀⇛ * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ I_rebuilt_my_Linux_workflow_around_Namespaces_and_never looked_back⠀⇛ A little while ago, my Linux machine was running excruciatingly slow. I attempted a few fixes: data management, optimization, adjusting Timeshift backups. That sort of thing. During that adventure, I found a few processes that were still causing performance issues. So I turned to Linux Namespaces to improve the visibility of my system processes and run applications safely. ⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠶⣟⠉⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠛⠛⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡖⠉⠉⠀⢄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⡾⡟⠁⠀⠀⠠⠒⠒⠒⠦⠤⠤⠤⣤⣤⣤⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠛⢛⣟⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣀⣠⡜⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠛⠻⣧⠀⠀⠀⢠⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠶⠶⠤⢤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⡄⠀⠘⠛⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀⡎⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠈⠉⠀⠀⠒⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢴⣄⠀⢀⣠⡏⠀⠀⢀⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⢀⣀⣠⣤⢲⣶⣶⣾⡿⠟⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⣿⣿⣏⣤⣤⣠⣿⣶⣶⣤⣤⣴⣦⣤⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⡎⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣠⢰⣶⣾⠿⠇⠟⢛⣿⣛⣩⣥⣤⣶⣿⠾⠿⣛⣻⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠛⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠑⠚⠭⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣾⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⡼⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣈⣉⣭⣥⣾⢰⠾⠧⠿⢛⣋⣭⣭⣥⢰⣶⡾⠿⠿⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⠢⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⣰⠁⠀⠀⠘⠟⠛⣛⣋⣯⣥⣶⣶⡾⠿⠿⠛⠛⠋⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣷⣞⠿⠿⣿⣿⣷⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢠⠋⠁⢹⡿⠃⠀⠀⢠⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠋⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣤⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣯⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠻⠂⢀⣀⣴⣶⣦⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠘⠒⢶⡇⠀⠀⠀⢀⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣶⣶⣾⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀ ⠀⠀⡀⣀⣼⡇⠀⠀⠀⡞⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⣤⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠉⠈⠙⠀⠀⠀⡸⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣆⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣼⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣷⣻⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⢀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣽⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡘⢀⣴⣶⣾⣿⣷⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⡻⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⠟⠁⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⣴⣿⡿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⢻⣷⣄⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣝⡷⣦⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⠾⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣷⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣀⣈⣉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠿⠷⠯⠝⣛⠳⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠛⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣦⣄⣠⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⠿⠃⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠘⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠋⠛⠁⠻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2383 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/22/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/22/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 22, 2026 * § Graphics Stack⠀➾ o ⚓ Video Cardz ☛ GPU_Screen_Recorder_6.0_supports_Linux_recording_on AMD,_Intel_and_NVIDIA⠀⇛ GPU Screen Recorder is a Linux alternative to NVIDIA ShadowPlay, offering hardware-accelerated recording, streaming and instant replay. It supports AMD, Intel and NVIDIA GPUs on both X11 and Wayland, with most of the recording workload handled by the GPU to keep CPU usage low. The software supports normal screen recording, live streaming and an instant replay mode. The latter continuously keeps the most recent recording period and saves it when requested, similar to ShadowPlay Instant Replay. Supported video codecs include H.264, HEVC, AV1, VP8 and VP9, although actual hardware encoding support depends on the GPU and driver. * o § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ # § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Benny Siegert ☛ My_FrOSCon_2026_talk_·_benzblog⠀⇛ I presented the jj version control system and also tried to make a connection to the ongoing maintenance crisis in open source. After all, newcomers often cite git as a scary thing they have to learn. The manuscript for my talk (in German) is now available at /talks/froscon2026/. # § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Hackaday_Podcast_Episode_383:_QR Codes,_Caving_Gear,_And_The_Old_School_Way_To Learn_Electronics⠀⇛ In this week’s episode, Hackaday Editors Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi start things off by getting excited about the recently announced 2026 Retrocomputing Challenge. From there the conversation will cover efforts to improve desktop 3D printing with lasers, an expensive grill with an ESP32 controller and an open source firmware, open source tools underground, and some impressive techniques to squeeze a bit more utility out of the common QR code. # § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ # § Open Data⠀➾ # ⚓ Giles Dickenson-Jones ☛ The_boring_part_first: Building_a_crosswalk_from_O*NET-SOC_to_ANZSCO⠀⇛ In 2025 I served as an adviser for a project to map occupational transition pathways in India. Although the work leveraged locally-sourced data and occupational profiles, the methodology leaned heavily on studies that use occupational profile data from the Occupational Information Network (O*NET). With the basic idea being that the viability of a transition pathway was in-part determined by how similar two jobs are (conditional on geography, wage rate differentials, education etc). ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2493 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/22/Web_Browsers_Web_Servers_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/22/Web_Browsers_Web_Servers_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Web Browsers/Web Servers Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 22, 2026 * ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ No_Ads,_No_Telemetry,_No_Hey_Hi_(AI)_Agent:_Orion Browser_Does_Linux⠀⇛ Kagi’s privacy-focused, WebKit-based browser arrives for GNU/ Linux as a not quite completely open source beta -- with features galore and an opt-in user-funded business model. * ⚓ Tony Sundharam ☛ I_Just_Want_to_Search_|_Sid's_Blog⠀⇛ Search these days though is a bit of a dumpster fire. It has shifted from just retrieval towards relevance and recommendation and it sucks. I’m not just talking about web search, which has oscillated between “help me find the link for this product” to “somewhat useful if you can ignore the SEO spammers” [1]. No, I’m lamenting how poor search has gotten inside emails, online marketplaces, and messaging apps. I’m lamenting that the user has progressively lost control over what constitutes a search. * § Mozilla⠀➾ o ⚓ Jonathan Kamens ☛ New_Thunderbird_Extension:_Per_Folder Preferences⠀⇛ Thunderbird is an extremely configurable email client. There are also different levels of configurability: some settings are global to the entire application, some are per account, some are per mail folder, etc. These distinctions are usually obvious and common-sensical, but in my experience, there are some configuration settings which the application only allows to be set globally, but which I personally want to behave differently based on which mail folder I’m currently working in. * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ Rodrigo Ghedin ☛ State_of_the_[WordPress]_Community_2026⠀⇛ The results are out from the independent survey on the WordPress community, conducted by the WP Open Community collective. It represents a scathing critique of WordPress’s direction and, especially, of Matt Mullenweg’s leadership. For example, 73.8% said they feel more negative about the project than 24 months ago. When asked about open source software in general, the negative outlook dropped to 23.9%. The biggest source of problems, with 73.3% saying they had experienced or witnessed incidents, relates to governance and leadership. The use of generative AI in WordPress displeases most respondents, even among those who use AI at work. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2576 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/22/Wine_11_16.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/22/Wine_11_16.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Wine 11.16⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 22, 2026 The Wine development release 11.16 is now available.
