It supports music, books, movies, video games and LEGO sets, with metadata retrieved from services including Discogs, Hardcover, TMDB, IGDB and Rebrickable. Its plugin-based design lets administrators enable only the media types they need. New collection types can be created with a no-code editor or implemented as code plugins with their own metadata services, importers and statistics. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ cjsh_-_POSIX-oriented_shell⠀⇛ It supports familiar Bourne shell constructs and selected Bash- style extensions while aiming to keep ordinary shell scripts portable. Its interactive layer is built around an embedded line editor and provides multiline editing, syntax highlighting, fuzzy completion, spell correction, persistent history, configurable key bindings and richly styled prompts without requiring a separate framework or plugin collection. The project reports roughly 95% POSIX coverage, tested through more than 1,700 standards-focused tests. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ NviWatch_-_terminal_user_interface_for_monitoring_NVIDIA_GPUs⠀⇛ NviWatch is a terminal user interface for monitoring NVIDIA GPUs and managing the processes using them. It uses the NVIDIA Management Library to display temperatures, utilization, memory consumption and power draw in real time. Several layouts are available, including bar charts and separate graph tabs for multi-GPU systems. Optional CPU and system-process monitoring provides a broader view of the machine’s workload. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ AudioMass_-_browser-based_audio_and_waveform_editor⠀⇛ AudioMass is a browser-based audio and waveform editor that processes files locally without a backend service. It can record audio or open existing tracks, and provides cut, copy, paste, trim and effect-processing tools for editing complete files or selected regions.

Google has little incentive to fill a result set with several versions of the same company saying roughly the same thing. An ambiguous search might warrant a shop, a review, a news story, a video, a guide and an official source. Those are different answers to different possible needs.

Deep hands-on proficiency in infrastructure automation, software security, disaster recovery, custom GNU/Linux operating system development, and enterprise software deployment is essential. The ideal candidate can work independently, manage complex projects involving multiple stakeholders, communicate technical ideas clearly, and produce thorough, well-maintained documentation. They understand how complex systems behave in international deployments, including data migration and recovery, and can evaluate whether systems remain secure, reproducible, and under organizational control even when working with incomplete information. The role requires sound judgment in both urgent and long- term work: the Systems Integration Administrator should be able to participate in an on-call rotation, respond effectively under pressure when systems require attention, and then return to sustained projects that need careful planning, documentation, and follow-through. o ⚓ Software Freedom Conservancy ☛ Freedom_for_Hacking!!1⠀⇛ It's that time again... for the triennial DMCA exemptions process! Because of the overreaching restraints the DMCA places on our digital autonomy, the DMCA permits the public to petition to claw back some our right to circumvent software 'access controls' placed upon our devices, which helps restore some rights we have over our technology. In the past we have had success securing digital rights for exploring license violations, jailbreaking TVs and routers, and expanding rights to repair medical devices. This week we applied to renew all of the exemptions we've worked to put in place in the past (and personally, Karen signed on behalf of the group of medical device researchers). * § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ o ⚓ Michael Geist ☛ Unleashing_the_Trolls:_Ontario_Court_Opens_the Door_to_Liability_for_Influencers_Who_Weaponize_Their_Audiences⠀⇛ The legislative efforts to combat online harms in Canada have focused chiefly on platform responsibility, with Bill C-34 reintroducing a regulated duty to act responsibly. An Ontario court recently considered another avenue to address harms that instead targets influencers who weaponize their audiences. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice issued a decision that extends the tort of Internet harassment into networked harassment, in which influencers or those with large online audiences encourage their followers to target individuals. In Miller v. Ahn, the court granted an interim injunction against a social media creator with more than 100,000 followers who had mobilized her audience against a Toronto employment lawyer. The actions led to fake reviews of her firm, threatening phone calls and messages, and antisemitic abuse that was directed at the lawyer’s perceived Jewish and Israeli identity. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 635 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/28/Games_STAR_WARS_Zero_Company_Into_the_Wind_DRM_and_Rootkits.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/28/Games_STAR_WARS_Zero_Company_Into_the_Wind_DRM_and_Rootkits.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: STAR WARS Zero Company, Into the Wind, DRM, and Rootkits⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 28, 2026 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ STAR_WARS_Zero_Company_is_out_now_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ STAR WARS Zero Company has been released today from Bit Reactor / Electronic Arts, and it's very much Star Wars XCOM with a little extra sauce. That includes the cinematic feel Star Wars is known for, which makes it quite an interesting one for fans of turn-based tactical battles. Note: personal purchase. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Ride_a_sentient_motorcycle-plane_to_make_deliveries_in Into_the_Wind_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Into the Wind was not even remotely on my radar until now, but after seeing it during the Future Games Show I am convinced it's going to be great.

One of the biggest takeaways from the community survey was that players felt that the studio "could be doing more" in order to curb cheating in the online game. As such, it plans to temporarily switch anti-cheat providers in order to determine the effectiveness of an alternative solution. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 768 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/28/Germany_Said_It_Would_Dump_Microsoft_and_It_s_Actually_Happenin.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/28/Germany_Said_It_Would_Dump_Microsoft_and_It_s_Actually_Happenin.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Germany Said It Would Dump Microsoft and It's Actually Happening⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 28, 2026, updated Aug 28, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Locks_in_Germany⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇HTTP_requests_by_OS_time_series_for_Germany⦈_ Some days ago I noticed that GNU/Linux_had_reached_10%_in_Germany and yesterday I noticed Erik Kroes writing about the_thing_we_did_3_years_ago: "I'm moving one service after another to European companies."

Compared to running KVM guests the provided benchmarks show much lower latency, at between parity to two times faster. * ⚓ Naveen Srinivasan ☛ BPF_Token_Delegation⠀⇛ The BPF Token prevents a process from gaining full root-level access to execute BPF code. The kernel hands out a BPF Token as a special permission slip to run BPF code. Only the privileged process can provide these specific BPF permissions, like loading, creating maps, etc to an unprivileged one to execute code or create maps, etc. Kernel version 6.9 introduced the BPF Token. * ⚓ Daemonology ☛ Launching_Route_53_Files⠀⇛ I'm excited to announce Route 53 Files, a new file system that seamlessly connects any AWS compute resource with Amazon's highest-availability database. Four decades ago, when the Berkeley Internet Name Domain Server launched, it stored DNS records in "zone files". You could edit these files in vi, but BIND had to be told to reload them before your changes took effect. Later, other DNS servers came along, like Daniel Bernstein's tinydns, which served records directly out of a database on disk — but even there, after editing the human-readable DNS records, it was necessary to recompile the database file. * ⚓ David Revoy ☛ XPpen_Artist_12_3rd_-_review_on_GNU/Linux_-_David_Revoy⠀⇛ This article accompanies my video review of the XPpen Artist 12" 3rd, a small sized display drawing tablet. The video provides my in-depth look at the device's hardware. This blog post, on the other hand, focuses on the information and technical aspects of installing and configuring the device on a GNU/Linux operating system. It's a clever little display drawing tablet and relatively cheap, I’m truly loving it! I've already used it to finish a comic on the train, and it'll be my my go-to device for travelling from now on. 🩷 Taking the pink one was the best decision! ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 929 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/28/Linux_HaikuOS_and_BSD_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/28/Linux_HaikuOS_and_BSD_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Linux, HaikuOS, and BSD Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 28, 2026 * § Server⠀➾ o ⚓ Kubernetes Blog ☛ Kubernetes_v1.37:_Metrics_API_graduates_to stable⠀⇛ Kubernetes v1.37 promotes the metrics.k8s.io API to stable (v1). This API provides CPU and memory usage for nodes and Pods, and is the API behind commands such as kubectl top and resource-metrics-based autoscaling. For cluster operators and application developers, this graduation means that the API now has the stability guarantees associated with a Kubernetes stable API. The v1 API has the same resource types and fields as v1beta1; this is an API-version graduation, not a change to the metrics that are collected or returned. * § Graphics Stack⠀➾ o ⚓ Timur Kristóf ☛ The_GCN_outcast_-_Radeon_HD_7870_XT⠀⇛ AMD is known to be Linux friendly and has had an open source driver stack for their GPUs for more than a decade. However, there was one GPU that has always been an outcast on Linux because it has never worked: the Radeon HD 7870 XT. This post is about how I fixed that so that Linux gamers can enjoy this GPU being fully functional now. The Radeon HD 7870 XT is built on the GCN 1 architecture (also known as Southern Islands or SI, or GFX6). It has a chip called “Tahiti LE” which is a variant of the Tahiti chip that was quite high-end by 2012 standards. Tahiti and other GCN 1 chips have been supported on Linux for more than a decade, first by the radeon kernel driver and more recently by the amdgpu kernel driver. We have every reason to assume that the 7870 XT should “just work”, so why doesn’t it? * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Tickets_in_Transitous⠀⇛ As you might already know, Transitous is a project that runs a public transport routing service that aims to work world-wide. To make Transitous results more useful, there needs to be a simple way to book the individual sections of a multi-modal route. It is important to mention that Transitous can not legally sell tickets itself, and there are no plans to change that, so booking in this case means directing users to a ticket shop that can sell tickets for the route. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ HaikuOS ☛ R1/beta6_–_Release_Notes⠀⇛ The sixth beta for Haiku R1 comes just about a week after Haiku’s 25th anniversary. We’ve come a long way since the project began a quarter-century ago in 2001. Thank you to everyone who’s supported us thus far, and here’s to another 25 years of Haiku! This release contains almost two years of the development team’s hard work to improve Haiku’s features and overall stability, and to make more software available for use. Over 530 bugs and enhancement tickets have been resolved for this release. o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ MWL ☛ 126:_Low_Distress_Tolerance⠀⇛ I finished the OpenZFS Mastery chapter on volumes earlier this week. Zvols support sparse volumes, also known as thin provisioning or overcommitting storage. A sparse volume is a volume that reserves less space than the volume actually needs. Sparse volumes permit allocating more space than the pool has available. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1056 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/28/Open_Hardware_Modding_ESP32_Arduino_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/28/Open_Hardware_Modding_ESP32_Arduino_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: ESP32, Arduino, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 28, 2026 * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ MSI_WS300_with_72-Core_Grace_CPU,_Blackwell_Ultra_GPU, and_Dual_400GbE⠀⇛ MSI has detailed the XpertStation WS300T60L, a tower workstation based on NVIDIA’s DGX Station architecture and GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra platform. The system is aimed at Hey Hi (AI) development, data science, inference, Hey Hi (AI) agents, and physical Hey Hi (AI) workloads, with a 72-core Arm processor, Blackwell Ultra GPU, up to 748GB of coherent memory, and dual 400GbE connectivity. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Hardware_modder_builds_overclocked_PS3_‘Pro’_v3_with 3D-printed_cooling_mod_—_dual_Noctua_fans_and_server_heatsinks_provide FPS_boost_in_'almost_every_game'⠀⇛ A Sony PlayStation 3 console modder has shared images and details of their faster, cooler, and quieter ‘PS3 Pro v3’ design. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ USB-C_Deskradar_–_An_ESP32-C3_ADS-B_flight_tracker_with a_1.28-inch_round_display⠀⇛ The USB-C Deskradar is an ESP32-C3-based, aviation-themed ADS- B flight tracker that tracks and displays live aircraft positions around your location on a sonar-style circular grid.

It is developed by the Opener Initiative, supported by the OpenDECT-X project, and funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR). The standard itself supports up to one million devices per km², years of battery life for low-power sensors,  non-IP and IPv6 traffic, mesh networking, and random-access operation. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Analog_Optical_Feedback_Generates_4K_Fractals_With_No Computer⠀⇛ Physically this build is very similar to the “God Machine II” sculpture we covered previously, which in turn built on the first 720p version of his art piece. Getting analog video feedback in HD was hard enough — you need to be able to adjust the hue, saturation, brightness and contrast of the monitor as you go in order to have the full control of the resulting image. Most old TVs had those back in the SD era, but once HD came around it was rare; [The Light Herder] despaired of ever finding a screen that would to this in 4K. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1146 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/28/Orange_Pi_Zero_4_with_Octa_Core_Allwinner_A733_PCIe_3_0_and_Wi_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/28/Orange_Pi_Zero_4_with_Octa_Core_Allwinner_A733_PCIe_3_0_and_Wi_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Orange Pi Zero 4 with Octa-Core Allwinner A733, PCIe 3.0, and Wi-Fi 6⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 28, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Orange_Pi_Zero_4_dimensions⦈_ Quoting: Orange Pi Zero 4 with Octa-Core Allwinner A733, PCIe 3.0, and Wi-Fi 6 — Orange Pi also lists downloads for a user manual, schematic, official tools, Orange Pi OS, Ubuntu, Debian, Android, and source code.

The machine invited you to program it, and no doubt many of our middle aged readers are here today because they ran with that. * ⚓ Markus Eliasson ☛ Consistency_and_the_damage_done⠀⇛ Looking at software, I think we make this kind of mistake too often. We introduce the need for consistency not considering the cost. Consistency is an alluring attribute, it is often elegant to us, full of technical details, and leaves us knowing that our data is in a consistent state, we have done a good job. Consistency requires coordination, and coordination sucks. * ⚓ Jeroen Sangers ☛ Jeroen_Sangers_◦_brain_tags_-_Unplanned_tasks_get finished_more_often_than_planned_ones⠀⇛ Recency bias and time discounting explain most of it. Something standing in front of you right now weighs more than something you decided was important last Thursday. This undermines an assumption sitting under most productivity advice: that writing your priorities down protects them. It does not. Your plan gives you direction and an overview, and both are worth having. What it cannot do is win an argument with whatever just walked into your inbox. * ⚓ Andy Bell ☛ A_CLI_for_adding_new_music_to_the_collection⠀⇛ The last thing to do is to make my life a little easier. Markdown files work perfectly fine for the music collection, but they’re a bit of a faff. Mostly because I always forget the front matter structure, so to fix that, I created myself a Command Line Interface (CLI) which is a series of questions, resulting in a new item being added to the collection. I add a lot of music to my collection because I’m truly trying to get away from streaming platforms completely, so something that makes the process of keeping it up to date simple is very much needed. Let’s break down the tool I built, piece-by-piece. * ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ Bazel_Module_Versions_Aren’t_SemVer⠀⇛ Bazel is a build tool first, and its module system (bzlmod, the default since Bazel 7) is mostly used to pull in existing C++, Java and Go projects that already have their own release histories. Rather than force those projects to renumber, Bazel documents its version format as a deliberate loosening of SemVer: any SemVer string is valid and sorts the same way, and beyond that the release part can have any number of segments and each segment can contain letters. Abseil’s date-based 20210324.2 and protobuf’s two-segment 36.0 are both accepted as-is. The grammar in Version.java is RELEASE[-PRERELEASE] [+BUILD], where RELEASE is dot-separated identifiers of ASCII letters and digits only. Comparison applies SemVer’s prerelease identifier rules to the release segments as well: [...] * ⚓ Zig ☛ Devlog_⚡_Zig_Programming_Language⠀⇛ Pointer Stability Locks were added to std’s Hash Map containers in 2024. A pull request initially opened by Leo Emar-Kar in 2025 now brings this technique for ensuring memory safety to std.ArrayList. To make use of this in your code, add a call to lockPointers() when you first store a pointer to an element or a slice of elements backed by the ArrayList, and call unlockPointers() when those pointers are no longer needed. * ⚓ Serge_Guelton:_Pros_and_Cons_of_Unified_Build⠀⇛ Unified builds (also know as Jumbo Builds) is a build techniques that aims at improving build time through the concatenation of several sources as a single unified source before compilation. The goal is obtained through implicit caching of header instantiation, although it implies a trade-off with parallelism. * ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_prrd_0.0.7_at_CRAN: Maintenance⠀⇛ A new minor release of prrd arrived at CRAN this morning: the a first release in two and a half years. prrd facilitates the parallel running [of] reverse dependency [checks] when preparing R packages. It is used extensively for releases I make of Rcpp, RcppArmadillo, RcppEigen, BH, and others. * ⚓ Neil Alexander ☛ Please_stop_flooding_our_projects_with_AI_slop_to furnish_your_CV⠀⇛ I closed all three PRs without comment. Maybe this was unreasonable, but truthfully, I’m just not interested in encouraging people to take up our time with this kind of busywork. I do not want to set a precedent of accepting PRs that materially improve nothing, nor do I want our contributor list to become a reward for asking a robot to fix typos. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ X_is_for_XML_parsing_-_Python_A_to_Z⠀⇛ Today I’m doing a bit of piggybacking: XML fits the “X” of the day but I’m also going to talk about HTML parsing because we can use the same tool. I’m also cheating a bit (honestly, I couldn’t come up with a new thing starting with X to write about) because I’ll mostly just point you towards my previous work. I’m doing this to bring new eyes to BeautifulSoup as my old blog posts don’t pop up so often in the feeds. I’m starting with a story time: [...] * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Peter 'CzP' Czanik ☛ Syslog-ng_end_of_August_news,_and_about scaling_back_Java_support⠀⇛ Most of August, I was on vacation, but now I’m back and I try catching up on the events of the past weeks, just like my colleagues do. Currently, we are fixing issues and reviewing contributions, but we also discussed scaling back our efforts on Java support. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Rust Weekly Updates ☛ This_Week_In_Rust:_This_Week_in_Rust_666⠀⇛ Hello and welcome to another issue of This Week in Rust! ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1395 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/28/Red_Hat_Promoting_Slop_Hype_Michael_Catanzaro_Hinting_at_Silent.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/28/Red_Hat_Promoting_Slop_Hype_Michael_Catanzaro_Hinting_at_Silent.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat Promoting Slop Hype, Michael Catanzaro Hinting at Silent Layoffs at Red Hat, Chrome's Lip Service to Flatpak⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 28, 2026 * ⚓ Who_really_built_that?_Supply-chain_provenance_for_AI_agent_identity⠀⇛ Note: Red Hat’s Emerging Technologies blog includes posts that discuss technologies that are under active development in upstream open source communities and at Red Hat. We believe in sharing early and often the things we’re working on, but we want to note that unless otherwise stated the technologies and how-tos shared here aren’t part of supported products, nor promised to be in the future. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Building_hermetic_notebook_images_for_Open_Data_Hub_and_Red Bait_OpenShift_AI [Ed: IBM compels Red Hat to rebrand everything for slop]⠀⇛ If you've ever watched a container build fail because a package mirror glitched, or wondered whether last month's image really matches what you ship today, then you already know the pain that a hermetic build is meant to solve. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Beyond_the_model:_Architecting_production-grade enterprise_AI_systems [Ed: Promoting slop instead of Linux]⠀⇛ Enterprise AI initiatives often fail because the conversation ends at the model. Without model storage, a serving layer, integration into existing systems, and someone to operate it all, a capable model is still a pilot. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Automating_edge_recovery:_Minimizing_unplanned downtime_with_Red_Hat_Edge⠀⇛ In manufacturing, unplanned downtime translates directly to lost production, which is ultimately lost revenue. If a production line goes down, the plant stops producing what it makes, whether that’s laundry detergent, pharmaceuticals, automotive parts, or food products. Plant downtime can result in anywhere from $10,000 to $2 million in lost revenue per hour. And there are many causes of downtime, because plants operate like small cities with a lot of moving parts: equipment failures, operator error, material shortages, and safety incidents are all common causes.  * ⚓ GNOME ☛ Michael_Catanzaro:_Change_in_Timeline_to_“Some_Changes_to_GNOME Security_Tracking” [Ed: PIP?]⠀⇛ In Some_Changes_to_GNOME_Security_Tracking, I reported: [...] This is because I was planning to leave my job at Red Bait on December 31 due to some internal Red Bait policy changes. But this timeline has now unexpectedly moved forward two months, to October 30. Accordingly, I will now discontinue tracking newly- reported security issues on October 1, 2026. During October, I will focus only on tracking issues reported prior to October 1. By November 1, all disclosure deadlines for that set of issues will have been reached, and I will be done. * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Chrome_moves_a_step_closer_to_an_official_Flatpak⠀⇛ If you’ve installed Chromium or Surveillance Giant Google Chrome as a Flatpak, you’ve installed an unofficial, community- maintained package done independently of the search giant – that could be about to change. Chromium’s build system is now able to generate Flatpak packages of the browser itself, though its developers caution that the change does not mean official Flatpak support is coming. A commit made by Google’s Tom Anderson this week adds the necessary packaging scripts and a build flag (enable_flatpak) to produce a .flatpak package rather than a .deb or .rpm, but that flag is off by default (for now). * ⚓ Neowin ☛ Google_Chrome_may_soon_be_getting_official_Flatpak_support_on Linux⠀⇛ Chromium apps have historically had poor official Flatpak support, but that could be changing as Surveillance Giant Google begins experimenting with Flatpak support in Surveillance Giant Google Chrome. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1503 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/28/Security_Experts_Always_Said_That_Restricted_Boot_Would_Harm_Se.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/28/Security_Experts_Always_Said_That_Restricted_Boot_Would_Harm_Se.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Experts Always Said That "Restricted Boot" Would Harm Security (It Was About Microsoft Remotely Controlling Hardware)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 28, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇A_photo_of_an_old_lock_with_key⦈_ Over a decade ago "Restricted_Boot" was shoehorned into Linux and has caused nothing_but_trouble_since, just as I anticipated and predicted all along. "Restricted Boot" was not promoted by security experts, it was opposed by them. The man who led the cheerleading for "Restricted Boot" was later forced to accept that he was wrong because Lenovo leveraged "Restricted Boot" to make strictly Windows-only laptops. Moreover, it did not enhance security in any way whatsoever. In certain ways, it worsened security. This outcome was foretold, but someone was paid to pretend it ain't happening. Years later his own spouse eventually found his Achilles heel: he_knows_no security. He does, however, pretend and he's trying to silence critics. He has done this for a long time. █ =============================================================================== Image source: A_photo_of_an_old_lock_with_key =============================================================================== ⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧ ⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⢀⣤⠶⠾⢿⣷⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⢀⣤⣶⣶⣄⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡁⡀⢠⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠩⡕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠻⠿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠘⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⢨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠴⠄⠠⠀⠒⠒⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⡆⠀⣿⣿⡿⠋⢀⣮⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⡇⠠⡿⠏⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⠇⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣦⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣶⣿⣿⣷⣦⣀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠛⠛⠿⣿⠿⠛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣅⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠻⢿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠏ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠙⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠟⠿⠿⠏⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠙⠛⠛⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⠻⠿⠛⠋⠙⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠏⠿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠈⠙⠛⠛⠟⠻⠟⠛⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1579 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/28/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/28/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 28, 2026 * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Thursday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (assertj-core, attr, firefox, go-toolset:rhel8, golang, grafana, gstreamer1- plugins-good, httpd, kernel, mingw-openssl, mod_http2, nginx, nginx:1.24, pam, polkit, and sqlite), Debian (bubblewrap, cockpit, emacs, gimp, libdbi-perl, openjdk-11, openjdk-17, wireshark, and xrdp), Fedora (bluez, curl, emacs, golang, knot, libopenmpt, libsoup3, openbao, openssh, rsync, rust-anstyle- hyperlink, rust-anstyle-progress, rust-cargo, rust-cargo-c, rust-cargo-credential-libsecret, rust-cargo-util, rust-cargo- util-schemas, rust-cargo-util-terminal, rust-crates-io, and rust-rustfix), Gentoo (Chromium, Surveillance Giant Google Chrome, Abusive Monopolist Microsoft Edge, Opera, Chromium, Surveillance Giant Google Chrome, Abusive Monopolist Microsoft Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, Chromium, Surveillance Giant Google Chrome, Abusive Monopolist Microsoft Edge.

This release note describes what’s different between Istio 1.29.6 and 1.29.7. [...] Upgraded version of nftables used by Istio distroless images. The nftables version was previously pinned to 1.1.1 to avoid a bug that could cause older versions of nftables on K8s nodes to crash after Istio used a newer version packaged in its images on the same node. Major GNU/Linux distributions have been informed of the issue and have released fixes. As a result, Istio is removing the nftables version pinning. Users are advised to update the nftables package on their nodes to the latest available version to ensure that the fixed version is installed. If you continue to experience nftables crashes on your nodes, downgrade to an older version of Istio and contact your node OS provider to request that the fix be patched into your OS version.

In a statement released today, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) said two unnamed suspects from Western Australia, aged 21 and 23, were arrested in connection with a "sophisticated cybercrime syndicate that allegedly created malicious open- source software to rob thousands of global businesses." The AFP did not name the defendants, but KrebsOnSecurity learned the 21-year-old suspect's real identity in June, and has been communicating with him ever since. This story includes interviews with TeamPCP's self-described spokesperson, and examines clues left behind by the TeamPCP leader that likely led to his undoing. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Dihydroxyacetone_Man_Order_Aims_to_Block_Foreign Backdoors_in_US_Power_Grid_Gear⠀⇛ The White House’s new executive order 14420 widens scrutiny of industrial control systems over cyber sabotage concerns. * ⚓ Latvia ☛ Latvia's_election_system_check_finds_flaws⠀⇛ In the run-up to the Saeima elections, polling station staff are testing the electoral systems.

CISA KEV listing means the US agency has found evidence of exploitation in the wild. The August 26 list included two high-severity security vulnerabilities. The first, tracked as CVE-2026-8452, is a memory overflow vulnerability in NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1783 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/28/Standards_ODF_is_the_only_document_format_compatible_with_digit.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/28/Standards_ODF_is_the_only_document_format_compatible_with_digit.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Standards: ODF is the only document format compatible with digital sovereignty, 'reserved' ports, UART command and control for moteus⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 28, 2026 * ⚓ Document Foundation ☛ Why_ODF_is_the_only_document_format_compatible with_digital_sovereignty⠀⇛ Digital sovereignty is usually discussed in terms of where servers are located and which company holds the contract. Both matter less than the format in which documents are written. * ⚓ APNIC ☛ The_lingering_legacy_of_'reserved'_ports⠀⇛ Rolling the clock forward, we now routinely run networks using methods other than fixed TCP or UDP port assignments to identify services. DNS, for example, supports SRV records, which allow a domain administrator to specify the port and protocol on which a named service operates. The rise of Network Address Translation (NAT) has also led to the widespread use of intermediary rendezvous services to help establish end-to-end communication between parties. VoIP systems, WebRTC applications, conferencing platforms, and online games all use these mechanisms when necessary. * ⚓ Robotic Systems LLC ☛ UART_command_and_control_for_moteus_-_mjbots blog⠀⇛ Often it is useful to deploy moteus in a system where it is controlled and monitored by a microcontroller, there is only a single moteus controller, and the total distance between the microcontroller and the moteus is short and without significant electromagnetic interference (EMI). In those cases, using a logic level UART on the microcontroller can save the additional complexity and cost of integrating a CAN-FD controller and transceiver into the host system. A UART, or universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter, sends data using one signal line for transmission and a separate signal line for receiving. The bit rate and other communication parameters must be agreed upon by both sides beforehand. Nearly every microcontroller in existence today has support for at least one, if not many UART peripherals. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1849 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/28/Today_in_Techrights.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/28/Today_in_Techrights.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Today in Techrights⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 28, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Hands⦈_ ⚓ Updated This Past Day⠀⇛ ⚓ Updates:⠀⇛ 1.

Whether the discussion involves distributions like Ubuntu with GNOME on Wayland, openSUSE with KDE Plasma on X11, or even Manjaro with Xfce on X11, each OS can experience potential device or driver problems. Over time, Linux driver incompatibilities have improved, but they still carry some hiccups. My first installed Linux distribution was Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (used X11), and I had to learn quite a bit to understand how to format the drive in my dual-boot setup, install the OS, and deal with driver issues and configuration challenges. It took some time to figure it all out, but I eventually got my TP-Link Bluetooth adapter, ASUS Wi- Fi antenna, and my older NIC functioning decently, just not as well as it did on Windows 10. I blamed Ubuntu for not working with my hardware 100%. Sure, there's nothing more frustrating than installing a distribution like Arch Linux 2026.03.01 only to find that it won't boot, or a device does not work properly or efficiently, if at all. That's where consumers (especially former Windows users) think their Linux distribution doesn't work as it should. The misconception is that it is Linux's fault when their GPU, USB Bluetooth adapter, network card, or another device doesn't work, but it's usually the other way around.
