Bug #1589796 was filed in 2016 by a user who’d spent £700 on Ubuntu phone and tablet hardware but, on visiting the official website, found no documentation to tell him how to use them. Canonical axed the Ubuntu Phone project in 2017, leaving this bug unresolved. Until now. * ⚓ [Old] TechRepublic ☛ How_to_enable_Ubuntu_Pro_to_gain_expanded_security maintenance_and_compliance [Ed: Canonical went the way of the proprietary giants some years ago, trying to sell for a fee even things like security patches]⠀⇛ Canonical has announced that its security and maintenance subscription service is now free for personal usage for up to five machines. This service offers 10 years of security for both the system and over 23,000 applications. “Since we first launched Ubuntu LTS, with five years of free security coverage for the main OS, our enterprise customers have asked us to cover more and more of the wider open-source landscape under private commercial agreements,” said Canonical CEO Mark Shuttleworth. “Today, we are excited to offer the benefits of all of that work free of charge to anyone in the world with a free, personal Ubuntu Pro subscription.” This is a big win for Ubuntu users and is available for every LTS release starting with 16.04. But how do you enable Ubuntu Pro? ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 172 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/24/4_Linux_distros_that_are_better_at_gaming_than_SteamOS.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/24/4_Linux_distros_that_are_better_at_gaming_than_SteamOS.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 4 Linux distros that are better at gaming than SteamOS⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 24, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Nobara_Linux⦈_ Quoting: 4 Linux distros that are better at gaming than SteamOS — When SteamOS launched in 2013, it was quite undercooked. It used a Debian base and was much slower to update. Not to mention, Proton wasn’t a thing back then, making its use as a gaming-focused operating system (compared to Windows) a lot less appealing. Fast-forward to 2026, and a lot of things have changed, and SteamOS runs on an Arch base now, incorporating faster updates and, more importantly, Proton. Proton isn’t perfect, but it is pretty darn good at what it does, letting Linux users play most Windows games with minimal setup. It’s also a perfectly capable desktop operating system, even if it does come with its share of quirks. Some of these quirks were enough to drive me over the edge and switch to a more traditional Linux-based desktop operating system, just so that I could have better control over my hardware. Here are four of the best alternatives.

This story starts in 1998 when IBM decided the world needed a single version of UNIX capable of running on multiple processor architectures. To make that happen, Big Blue allied with a company called the Santa Cruz Operation (SCO) which made a version of UNIX for x86 CPUs. Intel and Sequent also signed up for the multi- architecture effort, called “Project Monterey.” The alliance didn’t work, largely because Linux came along and delivered a *Nix that ran on multiple processors (and introduced a new way to develop software).

Properly Understood Debian Packages⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 24, 2026 * ⚓ Chiark ☛ Colin_Watson:_GSS-API_support_split_out_from_main_Debian OpenSSH packages [Ed: Recall what_happened_before: "Edward Brocklesby was "expelled" from Debian for hacking and privilege escalation with overtones of politics, however, the idea that joint authors can expel each other is nonsense. The discovery of his deeds was significant because he was also maintaining packages like shells, compilers and ssh2, these would all be interesting for somebody who wanted to place back doors in Debian."]⠀⇛ In an option_review I did in 2024, shortly after the xz-utils backdoor, I explained that having GSS-API authentication and key exchange support in the main OpenSSH packages is problematic. The key exchange patch is large and intrusive. * ⚓ Aigars Mahinovs ☛ Optimistic_take_on_AI⠀⇛ As I am writing this, there is a vote ongoing in the Debian project on how to deal with AI in general and AI-assisted contributions to Debian specifically. Massive discussions have happened in debian-vote and other locations. I have also asked questions there and offered my perspective. IMHO now is the time to summarize that, after all the discussions that I've had with people on multiple sides of this debate both online and offline, and explain how I will be voting and why. Hopefully that will be helpful to someone else as well. None of this has been compiled with AI assistance, but only because I think that forming opinions is not something where AI can really be helpful. Spellcheck was used though. So, first I will describe how I see each of the 8 proposals, then what my vote will be, and then a bit more detail on the reasoning and thinking behind this. WARNING - this went long. * ⚓ Iustin_Pop:_Another_optimistic_take_on_AI⠀⇛ § Disclaimers The current discussion in Debian aroun the Hey Hi (AI) GR is very heated, and I won’t add to that, however, I am very confused about some of the viewpoints there. But, I had no idea how to even try to write this, so did shut up, until I saw Aigars’ excellent Optimistic_take_on_AI, which motivated me to try, at least. * ⚓ Wouter Verhelst ☛ Wouter_Verhelst:_Programming_and_GR_2026_002⠀⇛ ✐ Programming language generations⠀✐ When I was young, I learned about a model of classifying programming language: the system of programming language generations. In this model, first generation programming languages are, basically, where you program the computer in the language that is defined by its architecture. On a Von_Neumann_machine, with its load-and-store architecture, you do that by inputting a string of numbers. The first programmer in human history -- her name was Ada_Lovelace -- wrote in a first-generation language. 1GLs aren't so much invented as they are a byproduct of the computers for which they're created. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 681 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/24/DietPi_v10_6_Adds_Orange_Pi_and_Odroid_Images.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/24/DietPi_v10_6_Adds_Orange_Pi_and_Odroid_Images.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ DietPi v10.6 Adds Orange Pi and Odroid Images⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 24, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇DietPi⦈_ Quoting: DietPi v10.6 Adds Orange Pi and Odroid Images DietPi August 2025 Update Goes Trixie and Prepares Forky — The August 2026 release of DietPi v10.6 expands hardware support with new images for the Orange Pi 4 Pro, Orange Pi Zero 3W, and several Odroid boards.

This week we begin with a look at umbrelOS, a Linux distribution specifically designed to make running a home server (and many services) as easy as possible. [...] * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Amiga-Inspired_AROS_Goes_Bare_Metal_On_Raspberry_Pi⠀⇛ AROS developers are making sure that Amiga legacy isn’t stuck on any given hardware, so they never have to let it go. So while not totally out of left field, this development is “pretty nifty” both in that it gives another ultralight operating system for the Pi, with boot times to rival RiscOS, and another platform for ex-Amiga users to play with that isn’t 40 years old. Previously if you wanted to run AROS on a Pi it was virtualized in Linux, making it similar to all other Amiga emulators. * ⚓ [Old] The Unix Heritage Society ☛ Australian_UNIX_Users_Group Newsletter,_Vol_I_No_I,_October_1978 [PDF]⠀⇛ Obviously when a system is cracked in such a way as to give the "cracker" super-user status that is the end of all security but if any aspect mentioned above is cracked, the results can be just as serious. Now to some story telling. * ⚓ HaikuOS ☛ [GSoC_2026]_Expanding_the_functionality_of_the_Haiku_Devices Application_-_Final_Report⠀⇛ Hello everyone! As Surveillance Giant Google Summer of Code 2026 comes to a close, it’s time to summarize the work I’ve done over the summer on expanding the functionality of the Haiku Devices application. Haiku’s Devices application previously provided a basic list of connected hardware, but lacked the features necessary to function as a true management utility. My project aimed to transform Devices into a more capable hardware manager, allowing users to view detailed technical specifications and perform administrative tasks directly from the GUI. Over the course of the summer, I focused on implementing new visualization features, improving the user experience, and pulling more detailed hardware information directly from the system. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 834 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/24/Foldseek_compare_large_protein_structure_datasets.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/24/Foldseek_compare_large_protein_structure_datasets.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Foldseek – compare large protein structure datasets⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 24, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇structure_datasets⦈_ * ⚓ Foldseek_-_compare_large_protein_structure_datasets⠀⇛ Foldseek is a fast and sensitive command-line tool for comparing large protein structure datasets.

The ribbon is a capable piece of design. It was built to help an occasional or intermediate user discover features by browsing rather than by memorizing, and for that user it does its job well. Saying so is not a concession wrung out reluctantly; it is simply accurate, and any honest discussion should start there. But “well-designed for a particular user” is not the same thing as “best interface,” and treating the two as equivalent is where the reasoning slips. An interface optimized for one persona is, by construction, less suited to the others: the power user who works from the keyboard and resents losing vertical screen space, the migrating user carrying twenty years of muscle memory, the user who depends on assistive technology, the user on a small or low-resolution display. A single fixed layout cannot be best for all of them at once. It can only be best for some, at the expense of the rest. * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ Wrlach ☛ Glean_Dictionary_+_DuckDB⠀⇛ As a sort of demonstration that documentation about an application can be treated as a data product in and of itself, I hacked up a quick ETL pipeline to dump the JSON output of the Glean Dictionary into a DuckDB database that can be queried standalone. * § GNU Projects⠀➾ o ⚓ Escaping_the_Grue:_Freeing_The_Inform_6_Documentation⠀⇛ Late last year, I wrote about the_state_of_interactive fiction.

Currently that’s not possible without each client manually having its config updated to use the new key data (even if the change in key data is just to bump the expiry date). In the process I’ve learned a few more things about GPG keys, subkeys, signatures, UIDs, etc., which I thought I might dump here in case it’s useful for someone else (or me, in the future). I don’t claim to be an expert, so I may still be misunderstanding some bits. GPG is complex.

It has now added the firmware binaries for the RDNA 4m graphics architecture, providing a major clue that its next-generation APUs are getting closer to release. The firmware has been upstreamed to the "linux- firmware" repository, where Linux distributions can package it alongside the required AMDGPU drivers. * ⚓ Digital Trends ☛ AMD’s_next-gen_Medusa_APUs_are_getting_ready_for launch,_and_Linux_just_spilled_the_beans⠀⇛ AMD’s next-generation Ryzen AI 500 “Medusa Point” APUs are getting another step closer to reality, and this time Linux is doing the leaking. As first noted by Phoronix, AMD has published the firmware needed for its upcoming RDNA 4m integrated graphics, giving us another indication that the Zen 6-based mobile chips are nearing their debut. § RDNA 4m is a rather interesting hybrid The new firmware targets AMD’s GFX 11.7 graphics IP, known as RDNA 4m. It sits in an unusual position between the existing RDNA 3.5 architecture and full-blown RDNA 4. AMD’s desktop RDNA 4 GPUs use the newer GFX 12 family, while RDNA 4m remains part of the GFX 11 branch. * ⚓ AMD_Upstreams_RDNA_4m_Firmware_to_Linux,_Signaling_Next-Gen_APUs_Are Nearing_Release⠀⇛ AMD has published firmware binaries for its RDNA 4m graphics architecture to the linux-firmware repository, marking a major step toward Linux support for its next-generation APUs. The firmware covers GFX 11.7.0 and GFX 11.7.1 graphics IP, along with PSP 15.0 security, SDMA 6.1.4, VPE 2.0 video processing, and DCN 4.2 display components. The RDNA 4m architecture, which sits between RDNA 3.5 and RDNA 4, is expected to power the Medusa Point APUs. AMD has historically released firmware at or after launch, but the company has improved its cadence by upstreaming binaries ahead of hardware availability, allowing Linux distributions to package them for better out-of-the-box support. The Linux 7.3 kernel and Mesa 26.2 to 26.3 are positioned as the baseline for RDNA 4m support. * ⚓ XDA ☛ Linus_Torvalds_fixed_a_Linux_bug_using_AI,_highlighting_both_the strengths_and_weaknesses_of_the_new_tech [Ed: Slop makes unreliable code, code that nobody understands]⠀⇛ The creator of Linux, Linus Torvalds, is no stranger to using AI to fix problems. Not only has he allowed AI-written code submissions to the kernel (as long as the person running the agent takes full responsibility for any issues it has), but he has gone on record saying that he's ignoring anyone who argues against its use. * ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Fix_for_pulseaudio_causing_app_crash⠀⇛ Described this earlier today: https://bkhome.org/news/202608/pulseaudio-mixer-causes-apps-to- crash.html I'm concerned that apps other than geany might also crash, and apps other than pavucontrol might cause the crashes. * § Graphics Stack⠀➾ o ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ Mesa_26.2.1_Released_with_A_Large_Collection_of Bug_Fixes⠀⇛ Mesa 3D graphics library released 26.2.1 version a few days ago, making the new 26.2 release series stable enough for production use. Mesa announced 26.2.0 a few weeks ago with many exciting new features. Now, it’s ready for use by the first 26.2.1 bug fix update. Mesa 26.2.0 is a new development release. o ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ 25_years_after_the_death_of_3dfx,_the_Voodoo_3 gets_a_Linux_driver_update_—_classic_Voodoo_GPUs_can_now_boot without_a_PC_BIOS⠀⇛ Linux kernel 7.3 is set to bring an oddly nostalgic update for 3dfx's Voodoo 3, one of the most recognizable graphics cards of the late 1990s. Don't get too excited; the venerable PCI-and-AGP accelerator isn't suddenly getting a modern Linux graphics stack, but the kernel's existing tdfxfb framebuffer driver is being updated so that it can initialize a Voodoo 3 itself rather than relying on the system firmware to have already run the card's video BIOS. It's a small change with a surprisingly specific purpose, and one that illustrates why ancient hardware occasionally gets attention in contemporary Linux. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⢀⣤⣤⣄⡀⢀⣀⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⣉⣙⣋⡉⣉⣉⣉⡉⣈⢉⡉⣉⣉⣙⣋⣙⣋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠘⠛⠛⠛⠃⠘⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠋⠉⠈⠉⠉⠉⠁⠉⠉⠉⠁⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠘⠛⠛⠃⠛⠛⠛⠛⠘⠛⠛⠛⠋⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣶⣶⣴⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣽⣿⢽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣟⣻⣿⣻⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣽⣿⣿⣯⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣷⡿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠛⠓⠛⠛⠛⠛⠚⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠓⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1643 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/24/Low_cost_45mm_NanoPi_R28S_offers_dual_GbE_and_Wi_Fi_6.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/24/Low_cost_45mm_NanoPi_R28S_offers_dual_GbE_and_Wi_Fi_6.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Low-cost 45mm NanoPi R28S offers dual GbE and Wi-Fi 6⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 24, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇NanoPi_R28S_top_view⦈_ Quoting: Low-cost 45mm NanoPi R28S offers dual GbE and Wi-Fi 6 — Software support includes FriendlyWrt 25.12, Debian 13 Core, Ubuntu 24.04 Core, OpenMediaVault, Alpine Linux, and a preview build of Proxmox VE 8.2.7.

Just over four years ago to the day, we replaced a couple of 4 TB Western Digital Blues with two 12 TB drives. It’s always a good day when you can replace a drive because you’re adding capacity, not because you’ve had a failure. I don’t know if you’ve seen the price of, well, everything in the space recently, but we needed some additional capacity recently. We have an LSI HBA controller now, so we’re not lacking for SATA ports. So for now, I added them back. * ⚓ NetBSD ☛ Google_Summer_of_Code_2026_Reports:_Improving_RAIDframe⠀⇛ This report was written by Emmanuel Nyarko as part of Surveillance Giant Google Summer of Code 2026. The Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) is a disk management framework developed by Carnegie-Mellon University. NetBSD uses RAIDframe as one of its disks management modules. It involves setting up multiple disks and creating a disk unit from them. The current NetBSD RAIDframe framework supports several levels of disks arrangement in a single array, see raid (4). * ⚓ [Old] NetBSD ☛ netbsd-advocacy:_NetBSD_and_my_life...⠀⇛ At first it was hard. The other admins had no clue how to use NetBSD. However, with the time we spent fixing the Windows servers, we now had spare time. I began to show them how to configure things and they actually took a personal interest. They installed it at home and began to tinker with it, making sure they understood how to compile kernels etc etc. You know the stuff am talking about! I even printed the whole handbook out for us. Our whole Network was now running NetBSD. * ⚓ DragonFly BSD Digest ☛ Lazy_Reading_for_2026/08/23⠀⇛ Cleaning out some old links. “Gravity is worth asking about.”  Linked for describing the “zero-one-infinity” rule, but applied to things you don’t want. reTerminal Sticky, a new reader in the now-popular ‘Xteink’ form factor.

The nRF93M1 module was first introduced at Embedded World 2026 last March, and the company has now announced general availability of the nRF93M1-LABA smart modem module for Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and sampling of the nRF93M1-LACA module for global markets, scheduled to become available in Q3 2026. The announcement also covers the launch of the nRF93M1 Development Kit, which was teased last March with limited details. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Making_LEDs_In_The_Home_Fab⠀⇛ Impressive as it most certainly is when an amateur fabricates a semiconductor, most of the projects we’ve seen are more demonstrations than workable chips. [Dr. Semiconductor], however, is going much further with his fabrication process, and is already working on a method to bond chips to printed circuit boards. It’s difficult to align a PCB with the pads on the underside of an opaque silicon wafer, however, so as a trial run he’s made and bonded some transparent LED chips. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Using_The_Basic_SNES_Hardware_To_Play_Minecraft⠀⇛ After previously putting a very basic version of Minecraft on the Game Boy Color, [Tobi] decided to have some fun and port that version also to the Super Nintendo (SNES), just to see what would happen with its more powerful hardware. Even without using an add-on chip like the Super FX 3D chip that made games like Star Fox and Doom possible with its 3D-rendered geometry, the basic SNES hardware can already provide a serviceable Minecraft experience. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Openterface_KeyMod_turns_your_smartphone_into_a_USB keyboard,_mouse,_gamepad,_or_SSH_client_(Crowdfunding)⠀⇛ After successfully launching the Openterface Mini-KVM and Openterface KVM-GO, TechxArtisan has just introduced the Openterface KeyMod pocket-sized USB multi-tool that turns an Android or iOS smartphone into a wireless keyboard, mouse, gamepad, presentation remote, or an SSH terminal for controlling PCs, servers, kiosks, Raspberry Pi boards, and other USB hosts. It comes in two variants: the KeyMod Mini with a USB-C port, and the KeyMod Plus with a USB-A port. KeyMod Mini connects to the phone through Bluetooth 5.3, while KeyMod Plus relies on a wired USB connection for higher bandwidth. It provides USB HID keyboard and mouse functions that work even in BIOS, along with a USB CDC-ECM network bridge for SSH, VNC, SCP, rsync, and other TCP-based tools. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1997 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/24/PolonOS_Debian_based_Linux_distribution.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/24/PolonOS_Debian_based_Linux_distribution.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ PolonOS – Debian-based Linux distribution⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 24, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇three_different_houses⦈_ Quoting: PolonOS - Debian-based Linux distribution - LinuxLinks — PolonOS is a Polish Linux distribution based on Debian Testing and built around the KDE Plasma 6 desktop environment.

Use Linux, BSD. — The umbrelOS distribution is pleasantly easy to get started using. Once we download the appropriate file, it is just a matter of picking which drive will hold the operating system and pointing a web browser to the proper address. As long as we don't accidentally overwrite the install medium, the process is quite simple. The distribution is fairly light on resources. It is fast, light enough to run on an older Raspberry Pi board, and the user interface is mostly easy to navigate. There were a few moments where I had to hunt for things (app launchers, login credentials), but with a little poking around I always found what I wanted. The interface is pleasantly streamlined and I didn't have any serious problems with it. For the most part, it is hard to mess up umbrelOS, unless we dig deeply into the settings panel in the Advanced section. I want to give credit where it is due, what is included by default (settings, widgets, the software centre) all work and work quickly. I had no problems with the defaults. My main issue with umbrelOS was not what it provided, but what was not included. The umbrelOS distribution is a single-user operating system, which feels limiting, even for a home server. The platform works over HTTP only, there is no HTTPS option. This seems to be true for both the underlying distribution and the services we can install on it. I'm not thrilled with the idea of sending private files and credentials over the network unencrypted. There is a little documentation, but it deals almost exclusively with installing the operating system. I was not able to find any information on using the distribution, which would have saved me time when I was trying to find launchers and configure some settings. The single user aspect of umbrelOS we can mostly work around by installing additional applications, such as Nextcloud. Though, while this mostly works, it does mean that single-user services are limited and we will need to share our user account with other people who want to use our applications. Basically, what I came away thinking after using umbrelOS for a few days is that it is well suited to home situations where there is only ever one person who will be using the server. However, it starts to show its limitations if we want to run it in a home with a family or in a small office. It's really set up to be a "personal" server more than a "home/family" server. What is included works and runs smoothly. I was impressed with how easy umbrelOS makes it to set up network services. I'm hoping the project expands a bit to make it easier to enable HTTPS and separate user accounts for family or guests.

Couldn't you get more of their support by a different road? If somebody around you raises one of the above four arguments, what would you reply be? Akira Urushibata Mr. Urushibata also answered_a_follow-up_on_how_quality_impacts_Freedom: Deep P. Pandya wrote: > ... I couldn't understand what do you mean by "Whenever a program > doesn't work right the user's freedom is forfeited. Fewer bugs means > more freedom." > > How is the bug related to the freedom? In the past (before GNU became popular) we used proprietary compilers and interpreters which were buggy. They rejected valid code. Programmers had to devise work-arounds which consumed time and effort. Often the work-arounds were difficult to understand. Some people even employed invalid syntax accepted by the compiler which meant introducing a new problem code to overcome a compiler bug. If the supplier of the compiler decided to fix the bug in a future version, the work-around would become a bug. We experienced this and felt that we were compelled to write corrupt code. We were deprived of the freedom to do decent work. Computer software is now used in a great many products and services. Bugs cause recalls, service outages and such which disturb society. For instance a bug in software which controls commercial jetliners will cause all planes of the model to be grounded. Trips will be rescheduled to less convenient dates or canceled altogether. People lose the freedom to attend conferences, meet friends or relatives, enjoy sightseeing, etc. Bugs in software for health care can have serious effects. Consider a program which determines whether one is infected by a contagious pathogen. A false positive will lead to unnecessary quarantining. A false negative may cause the disease to spread. In either case people lose the freedom to work, go to school, go shopping, attend social events, etc. > A bug-free proprietary software doesn't provide any freedom to users > whereas a buggy libre software provides full freedom to users. When there is a bug in free software one is free to take action to fix it. Not everybody takes action. In reality few people do the hard work. As I pointed out attempts to tell people about the contributions of good citizens are often ignored by prejudiced people. > So, bug is the technical issue whereas freedom is the ethical issue. This is an important point which required careful consideration. When we hear about ethics and faith we tend to think of forces which try to restrict our freedoms. But often they advise practices and attitudes which protect freedoms. Consider the term "work ethos". W. Edwards Deming who taught the Japanese statistical quality control said: "Wherever there is fear, you get false figures." The false figures eventually cause problems. The problems interfere with someone's freedom.

A new distribution drops every other week, and more and more developers are creating FOSS alternatives to popular proprietary apps. However, the same can’t be said about the Linux hardware space. Most of what we get are laptops that ship with Ubuntu preinstalled or iterative smartphones trying to replace Android—which, all things considered, is Linux. The Mecha Comet breaks the boring status quo. It’s a pocketable, modular handheld computer that ships with a custom, hardware- optimized Linux distro out of the box. Sign me up.

The desktop uses Wayland with Wayfire, while much of the Vasak software stack is built with Rust, Tauri and Vue. Arch Linux remains underneath, giving users access to pacman, the AUR and the wider Arch ecosystem.
