Desktop GNU/Linux has crossed a major milestone for usage with more than 10% in North America and 7% globally. Arch GNU/Linux has announced some changes they are making to the way the AUR works because of the latest Malware attacks. * ⚓ Matt Birchler ☛ Comfort_Zone_will_return⠀⇛ We did 113 episodes of Comfort Zone, and it's been incredibly rewarding to work on and a joy to record with Chris and Niléane. It must also be said, I greatly appreciate Federico and John investing in our show, giving us a platform, and handling some of the back-end bits that we didn't particularly want to do ourselves. From a content perspective, MacStories was wonderfully hands-off. There were no directives on what to talk about and no rules on what we could or couldn't say. We got to make the show we wanted, and that was great. This basically meant we had two options: we could end the show or we could keep doing it, but on our own. And friends, let me let you in on a little secret…a clever hack to keep up with your friends all the time is to have a podcast with them. The show had to go on! ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 344 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/25/BlossomOS_immutable_Linux_distribution_with_KDE_Plasma.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/25/BlossomOS_immutable_Linux_distribution_with_KDE_Plasma.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ BlossomOS – immutable Linux distribution with KDE Plasma⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 25, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇BlossomOS⦈_ Quoting: BlossomOS - immutable Linux distribution with KDE Plasma - LinuxLinks — BlossomOS is an immutable Linux distribution designed as a general- purpose desktop operating system with a strong emphasis on privacy, simplicity and digital independence.

For those who are unaware, Proton is Valve's compatibility layer that lets Windows games run on Linux, enabling SteamOS-powered platforms like the Steam Deck and the Steam Machine to run the majority of modern games. ⣀⣀⣄⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⢀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⢀⣀⣀⣀⠀ ⠛⠉⡉⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠀⠘⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠟⠁ ⣠⣘⣟⣁⡀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡹⠿⠟⠛⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠀⠀⣸⣽⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣾⣷⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠈⠛⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠘⡛⠋⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠯⠀⠉⡉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⢈⣙⡛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣟⢇⢶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠀⠀ ⠀⠈⡻⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀ ⠀⠘⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠯⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⣉⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣁⢀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿⣶⣾⣷⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣠⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣿⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢟⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡏⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣽⣽⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⠿⠃⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⢉⠉⢛⡛⡛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠋⠙⠛⠛⠋⠉⠙⠉⠉⠙⠉⠙⠛⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣶⠶⠶⣶⡶⡶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣔⢼⢇⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣠⣤⣴⣶⣶⣤⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣗⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠾⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⡄⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⡿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⠛⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣁⣤⣶⣀⣠⣄⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣯⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣶⣴⣴⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣄⣀⣀⣀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠲⣶⣾⣷⣤⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⡷⠶⣷⣶⡤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 997 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/25/GNU_Linux_and_BSD_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/25/GNU_Linux_and_BSD_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux and BSD Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 25, 2026 * § Server⠀➾ o ⚓ Sven Luijten ☛ NAS_access_woes⠀⇛ After turning on the NAS for the first time in the new place, I thought plugging it in and turning it on was the extent of the setup. But alas, this turned into an evening project. * § Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ iDescriptor_Lets_You_Manage_&_Interact_with iPhone/iPad_in_Linux⠀⇛ Looking a tool to manage your iPhone or iPad in PC or laptop? Try the free open-source iDescriptor app that works in Linux, Windows, and macOS. It’s a Rust written and Qt-based application that allows to manage and interact with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod through either USB or Wi-Fi. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_1990s_Homebrew_OS_With_GUI_And_Web_Browser,_In AM29000_Machine_Code⠀⇛ The AM29000 series of processors were AMD’s entry into the world of super-fast next-generation silicon of the late 1980s. It was a time when ARM was still a niche architecture in a British educational computer, the 68000 series was still a major player, and it was by no means certain that the x86 would maintain its position. It therefore wasn’t an unreasonable choice for someone building a high performance computer at the time, which is what [Oscar Toledo G.] and his father did. If that wasn’t enough, he went on to write an operating system for it in AM29000 assembly, complete with a GUI, a C compiler, and an up-to-date web browser for the late 1990s. The story makes for an engaging read. o ⚓ HaikuOS ☛ [GSoC_2026]_Modernizing_Haiku’s_Bluetooth_stack: Implementing_support_for_HFP_profile_-_Progress_Report⠀⇛ The goal of this post is to document the changes I made during the GSoC period and the current state of the project. I would also like to thank waddlesplash for his continued support throughout the project. o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ FreeBSD ☛ FreeBSD_Foundation_Intern_Sourojeet_Adhikari_on Bringing_ROCm_to_FreeBSD⠀⇛ Sourojeet is studying Mathematical Physics and entering the third year of his degree. This summer, he joined the FreeBSD Foundation as an intern, working on a project that combines several of his interests: systems programming, GPU computing, and open source. We spoke with Sourojeet about his path into open source, the challenges of bringing ROCm to FreeBSD, what he learned from debugging difficult problems, and why students shouldn’t be intimidated by contributing to a large open source project. o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ Tiny_Wins_for_Packagers:_End-of-Week_Update_(2026-08-21)⠀⇛ 🙇‍♀️ New Contributors The most important thing in Free Software, new people! We had a 1 new contributor to OBS this week! 🚀 Please give a warm welcome to Tanner Kvarfordt @Kardbord who got their first commit merged. Maybe it be followed by many more. Thank you so much! o § Arch Family⠀➾ # ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Omarchy_GNU/Linux_Just_Got_$8_Million_From Tech's_Biggest_Names⠀⇛ A new nonprofit is being setup that would house all that money, and Hyprland is the first external project to benefit. David Heinemeier Hansson, aka DHH, has put a number on how serious he is about desktop Linux. That number is eight million dollars, and it's going into a brand new nonprofit called the Omacom Foundation. DHH is incorporating the foundation now, set to cover the Omarchy trademark, its infrastructure and hosting, promotion for the project, and funding for the open source developers whose work it depends on. [...] Michael Dell of Dell Technologies, Patrick Collison of Stripe, Tobi Lütke of Shopify, Jack Dorsey of Block, Matthew Prince of Cloudflare, Jason Fried of 37signals, Brendan Iribe of Sesame, and DHH himself each put in a million dollars to make it happen. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_24.04_gets_a_big_open-vm-tools_update⠀⇛ A major update to open-vm-tools, a package that integrates GNU/Linux virtual machines with VMware hypervisors, is rolling out to users of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. “Without SRUing the newer version users get issues running on more recent hypervisors”, Canonical’s Lena Voytek explained in a backport request. It’s a full backport from Ubuntu 26.04 LTS to support platform enablement to benefit those running 24.04 LTS. # ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_26.10_‘Stonking_Stingray’_hits_feature freeze⠀⇛ Ubuntu 26.10, codenamed ‘Stonking Stingray’, entered feature freeze on 20 August – though the formal announcement arrive later than usual. From this point onwards, development focus shifts from landing major changes to improving them, along with the rest of the package set, ahead of the final, stable Ubuntu 26.10 release in October. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1175 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/25/Happy_35th_Birthday_Linux.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/25/Happy_35th_Birthday_Linux.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Happy 35th Birthday, Linux!⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Aug 25, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Linux⦈_ It was on August 25th, 1991, that the 21-year-old Finnish student Linus Benedict Torvalds made his now-famous announcement on the comp.os.minix newsgroup that he was working on a free operating system for 386 (486) AT clones, just as a “hobby”. That’s right, it’s been 35 years since he made that announcement, and he probably never dreamed that the so-called “hobby” would turn into something huge, used by millions of computer users around the globe.

Linux lets me do what I want, however I want — and I don’t have to bother with any artificial OS-level limitations. Setting things up manually is frustrating but often fun, and most certainly educational. That said, there are times when I do yearn for something a bit less prone to breakage. Immutable distributions seemed like the perfect answer then, and you’d be right, for a few select use cases. It’s also a great option for your first Linux distribution, or as a gaming HTPC, thanks to Proton.

The MNT Station is built around the MNT Reform mainboard ecosystem and designed for those who want to reuse an existing MNT Reform mainboard (versions 2.0, 2.5, or 3.0) as a stationary computer, as well as those building a modular Arm (or FPGA-based) desktop from scratch using the new MNT Reform Mainboard 3.0. o ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Create_your_own_cyberdeck⠀⇛ What is a cyberdeck? Is it a wearable computer, a pocket computer, a launch monitor/centre for rockets or high- altitude balloons, or a knowledge store for the zombie apocalypse?

For a while I tolerated this, but it’s got to the point where gameplay was being affected, and this had to be dealt with. I had some success removing that slowdown using a variant of the technique documented here. Basically, you fire the emitter within the _ready() function, wait a single frame, then hide the emitter: [...] * ⚓ Stefan Marr ☛ Pitfalls_of_Benchmarking_on_Modern_Systems_·_Stefan- Marr.de⠀⇛ Modern computer systems are quite fascinating. They are highly complex, run a lot of software, and their performance characteristics are hard or impossible to predict. Earlier this year, I gave a lecture on benchmarking, which for lack of generic and always-applicable advice, I started with a brainstorming session about its pitfalls. Since systems have become so complex that we rarely know what happens exactly. We are prone to simply guess what’s going on. Or rather, we should hypothesize and verify our hypothesis. Still, there might be many more causes for what we see than we can initially think of. * ⚓ [Old] Jordan LorLord ☛ 3_constraints_before_I_build_anything⠀⇛ These are the 3 constraints that I use before I start building anything. I'm a believer in constraints as an enabler for creativity. Constraints help us collapse the search space, and figure out innovative solutions to problems. I've been a builder for 10 years, and I've built products that went nowhere because they were either too complex or had no identity. These are the constraints that I landed on after making those mistakes. * ⚓ MaskRay ☛ Block_frequency⠀⇛ Estimating branch probabilities says how one branch splits. BlockFrequencyInfo turns those local numbers into per-block frequencies, which nearly every profitability decision in LLVM ends up reading. The core is a linear-time propagation over loop-packaged regions. Where no such structure exists — irreducible control flow — the accuracy goes with it. * ⚓ Vincent Bernat ☛ Vincent_Bernat:_An_interactive_introduction_to_the spanning_tree_protocol⠀⇛ This post contains interactive examples. To visualize and interact with them, you need to leave_your_RSS_reader. Imagine you rent office space for a three-day event. You quickly set up a few Ethernet switches and tape some cables on the floor to get everyone online. Unfortunately, Stan, your clumsiest coworker, kicks out a cable every time he gets up for coffee. You could add extra cables, but then you’d get a broadcast storm: Ethernet packets that loop and multiply until nothing else gets through. * ⚓ Vincent Bernat ☛ Vincent_Bernat:_A_non-interactive_introduction_to_the spanning_tree_protocol⠀⇛ Imagine you rent office space for a three-day event. You quickly set up a few gets up for coffee. Spare cables would fix that, but a loop turns into a broadcast storm: Ethernet packets multiply until nothing else gets through. That’s where the spanning tree protocol comes in: it blocks just enough of the spare cables to leave a loop-free tree, and rebuilds it in a second each time Stan strikes again. * ⚓ Jon_Chiappetta:_Trying_Out_Some_Hacky_Tampermonkey_Javascript Modifications_For_A_Better_kick.com_Live_Stream_Video_Experience!⠀⇛ The kick.com live stream video experience on the web is not the best overall, it seems to constantly lose track of a previously buffered section of the live stream and then sends you to the live portion but mine also gets stuck on reconnecting again and remains frozen until a manual refresh! I tried to write a series of hacky javascript modifications to help solve the following issues: [...] * ⚓ Chris ☛ A_curmudgeon_tries_a_language_server⠀⇛ I write code roughly the same way I did ten years ago: I make edits in my text editor, I switch over to a terminal window and I run a command to compile and execute the code. I look at the result, then switch back to my editor. If I am unsure of what happens, I either add tracer prints to the code and restart the program, or I restart the program in a debugger. If I hit an exception that crashes my program, I fix the problem and then restart it. I’m envious of what Lisp programmers do. Lisp development typically happens by typing code directly into the REPL to add, remove, and replace parts of the live, running system. * ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_gaussfacts_0.0.3_on_CRAN: Maintenance⠀⇛ A new release of gaussfacts package arrived on CRAN – the first in pretty much exactly a decade! gaussfacts provides a fortunes-inspired function to display randomly-chosen facts about Carl_Friedrich_Gauss, based on the collection curated by Mike Cavers via the gaussfacts web site (with an archive.org link it case it vanishes again). Each call of gaussfact() displays another (randomly chosen, or indexed) fact. * ⚓ Andrew Helwer ☛ The_changing_role_of_finite-state_model_checking⠀⇛ This post stems from a recent conversation with Heidi_Howard where we talked about the changing role of TLA⁺ & finite-state model checking in both research and industry. For a long time, users of TLA⁺ (or other formal specification languages like Quint) had a classic 80/20 payoff/effort choice available to them: they could either put in a large amount of effort to formally prove their system properties correct with 100% confidence, or for 20% of that effort they could model- check their system and get perhaps 80% of that confidence. This economic calculation might no longer hold. The summer of 2026 has seen fairly astonishing improvements in the field of automated theorem proving. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ U_is_for_uv_-_Python_A_to_Z⠀⇛ uv is a Python package and project manager but in my day- to-day use it’s more of a script and improved REPL runner. In Tame your pesky little scripts, I wrote about my methods for dealing with different scripts I run from a command line and for the ones I write in Python, I use uv to make them easy to run with dependencies. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ I_should_write_more_shell_scripts_than_I do⠀⇛ For reasons beyond the scope of this entry, I've been manually maintaining a group of files in sync across three 'machines' (my GNU Emacs configuration). There is no master machine for edits (it depends on what I'm on at the time when I need a change), and I don't always propagate changes immediately after I make them. Plus, some of these files are in various places under my home directory. I made a lot of use of 'ssh cat /file | diff - u - file' and the like to keep track of this all and make sure I wasn't overwriting changes when I propagated things, and I kept doing it by hand for various reasons. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2263 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/25/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/25/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 25, 2026 * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Monday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (ansible-core, cups-filters, curl, java-1.8.0-openjdk, java-17-openjdk, java- 21-openjdk, java-25-openjdk, kbd, kernel, perl-Date-Manip, php: 8.2, and php:8.3), Debian (designate, firefox-esr, gst-plugins- bad1.0, libnet-dns-perl, nvidia-graphics-drivers, openjdk-21, openjdk-25, spip, and thunderbird), Fedora (AusweisApp2, bluez, calibre, ceph, chromium, GitPython, kernel, pack, perl-URI, rsync, and tcpreplay), Gentoo (GNU Emacs and needrestart), Oracle (ansible-core, java-1.8.0-openjdk, java-17-openjdk, java-21-openjdk, java-25-openjdk, kbd, kernel, mysql:8.4, perl- Date-Manip, perl:5.32, and sssd), Red Hat (curl, dnsmasq, kbd, kernel, libcap, libreswan, openssh, rsync, samba, unbound, and vim), SUSE (389-ds, apptainer, avahi, bugwarden, chromium, ffmpeg-9-libavcodec-devel, firefox, firefox-esr, gimp, go1.27, helm, ignition, libarchive, libjxl-devel, libssh, multipath- tools, openssl-3, pcp, perl-Net-CIDR-Set, perl-Net-OAuth, postgresql14, postgresql15, python-msgpack, python-pyasn1, python-urllib3, python313, python313-pytest-html, redis, runc, sccache, sssd, util-linux, vim, weechat, and wget), and Ubuntu (linux-fips, linux-gcp-5.15, linux-hwe-7.0, linux-ibm, linux- kvm, linux-lowlatency, linux-nvidia, linux-nvidia-6.8, linux- nvidia-lowlatency, and linux-nvidia-6.17). * ⚓ Pen Test Partners ☛ One_SSID_To_Rule_Them_All⠀⇛ TL;DR  How we ended up here  My colleague Adam Bromiley and I recently tripped over one of those ‘What!?’ findings. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ 91_Vulnerabilities_Patched_in_Spring_Application Framework⠀⇛ More than 200 vulnerabilities have been patched to date this year, compared to only 16 in 2025 and 22 in 2024.  * ⚓ Security Week ☛ ReliaQuest_Confirms_ShinyHunters_Hack,_but_Says_Impact Was_Limited⠀⇛ A ReliaQuest employee fell victim to a phishing attack and the hackers gained access to a dashboard. * ⚓ Hacker News ☛ UAT-10147_Uses_AI_to_Scale_Server_Attacks,_Deploys SPECTRE_With_EDR_Bypass_and_Linux_Rootkit⠀⇛ Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a Chinese- speaking cybercrime group dubbed UAT-10147 that's targeting Windows and Linux web servers globally across the education, media, technology, and gaming sectors. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2343 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/25/Shelly_3_1_Package_Manager_Is_Out_with_Support_for_Building_Arc.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/25/Shelly_3_1_Package_Manager_Is_Out_with_Support_for_Building_Arc.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Shelly 3.1 Package Manager Is Out with Support for Building Arch Linux Packages⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Aug 25, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Shelly_3.1⦈_ Shelly 3.1 is here to introduce support for building Arch Linux packages through a new shelly build command that’s part of the native package-management library, not a wrapper around makepkg.

It combines the traditional MATE desktop with Compiz as its primary window manager and compositor, aiming to offer a familiar desktop environment while retaining extensive scope for configuration. The distribution is systemd-free and uses sysvinit. Its desktop adopts a conventional layout with the Brisk Menu, window list, notification area, clock and familiar desktop controls. Compiz is a fundamental part of the experience rather than an optional extra, handling window management, compositing, workspaces, effects, window rules and accessibility features.

Millions of Bluetooth-capable products utilize Google's "Fast Pair" service, which is nonfree software that promises to make pairing of wearable devices easier. It uses Bluetooth Low Energy and Android’s location services to detect nearby Bluetooth devices automatically and prompts you to pair. Security researchers discovered this feature was really a bug, as it introduced a serious weakness across a wide range of devices. This included wireless earbuds and headphones from major manufacturers, which could be turned into surveillance machines. Attackers could silently pair with these devices and hijack the audio to spy on the person wearing them, as well as anyone they spoke to. In some cases, the microphone could be activated and the wearer could be tracked through Google's own network. What makes this so troubling is that researchers did not have access to the source code needed to inspect how Fast Pair worked. Instead, discovering the flaws required independent researchers to reverse engineer the nonfree software. This difficult and time-consuming process would not have been necessary if the software were free and available for anyone to study and improve. The problem was not confined to one device model or a single vendor, and it is likely that many devices around the world are still vulnerable. Worse, most users will be unable to patch their device without utilizing nonfree software from the manufacturer or Google to run an update. Instead of giving users the freedom to modify and improve, they are forced to trust nonfree software that cannot be easily inspected.

and org-mode in emacs. * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ parted_Command_in_Linux:_Manage_Disk_Partitions⠀⇛ Use the parted command to inspect disks, create GPT partition tables, add aligned partitions, resize boundaries, and remove partitions safely on Linux. * ⚓ TecMint ☛ View_and_Manage_Files_using_head,_tail_and_cat_Commands_in Linux⠀⇛ Being able to read and inspect those files quickly, without opening an editor or writing a Python script, is one of the most underrated command-line skills. * ⚓ Breanne Boland ☛ You_Can_Put_WHAT_in_DNS_TXT_records?!_A_blog_post_for !!con_West_2020⠀⇛ It Is Known that DNS contains multitudes. Beyond its ten official record types are myriad RFC-described and wildly off- brand uses of them, and DNS TXT records contain the most possibility of weird and creative use.

Those links are how a web ring works: every site points to the next and previous member, and visitors can walk the whole circle without ever visiting the hub. This post is a look at how those links worked until recently, what was wrong with them, and how we made them better while staying 100% static. o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Firefox_Tooling_Announcements:_Happy_BMO_Push_Day!_ (20260824.1)⠀⇛ # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Hacks.Mozilla.Org:_Intent_to_Ship:_JPEG_XL⠀⇛ It isn’t often that new image formats land in browsers. In the early 2000s we had JPEG, GIF, and PNG. The 2010s gave us WebP, which was a modest step up from JPEG. But the 2020s have given us two new image formats that are a big step up from previous formats: Hey Hi (AI) and JPEG XL. We shipped Hey Hi (AI) back in 2021, and today we posted our_intent_to_ship_JPEG_XL. Chrome_are_also intending_to_ship, and given there’s already a partial implementation in Safari, the format will be supported across browsers before the end of the year. # ⚓ Wrlach ☛ William_Lachance:_Glean_Dictionary_+_DuckDB⠀⇛ While working on Writing_the_Docs:_2026_Edition, I experimented a bit with updating the Glean Dictionary to incorporate some of the ideas in the essay, in particular those around reference documentation. 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. # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Intent_to_Ship:_JPEG_XL⠀⇛ It isn’t often that new image formats land in browsers. In the early 2000s we had JPEG, GIF, and PNG. The 2010s gave us WebP, which was a modest step up from JPEG. But the 2020s have given us two new image formats that are a big step up from previous formats: AVIF and JPEG XL. We shipped AVIF back in 2021, and today we posted our intent to ship JPEG XL. Chrome are also intending to ship, and given there’s already a partial implementation in Safari, the format will be supported across browsers before the end of the year. o § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ # ⚓ Rachel Kaufman ☛ Fun_With_DNS_TXT_Records⠀⇛ This poses a problem. Some TXT records, especially when we’re talking about DKIM records, are very, very long. Some DNS providers are kind enough to accept a large string and split it behind the scenes, but others, such as AWS Route53, follows the spec to the letter. (Aside, if I’m reading this spec correctly, every DNS record, not just TXT, is capped at 255 characters, it’s just that other types of records rarely if ever get that large). If you need to add a long TXT record to Route53 or other providers that follow the spec, you must manually split the record; the resolver handles concatenating the strings back together into a larger record. # ⚓ Aman Mittal ☛ Adding_Content-Signal_to_a_docs_site⠀⇛ Cloudflare announced the Content Signals Policy in September 2025 as an extension to robots.txt. It is one policy with three flags, each set to yes or no. In a nutshell, if you add it, this is what it looks like in your robots.txt file: [...] ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 3080 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 31 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
