This coincides with the release of Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS. The first point release primarily includes previously released updates and security patches, but for many business users, it marks the start of the migration to the latest LTS generation. Ubuntu 26.04 LTS was released back in April, but Canonical did not immediately offer users of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS the standard upgrade option. According to Neowin, this was a deliberate decision. For LTS versions, Canonical typically waits until the first point release before users of the previous LTS version can automatically migrate to the new generation. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Keepers_of_Noble_Numbats_to_be_offered_a_Resolute Racoon:_Ubuntu_26.04.1_is_coming⠀⇛ It looks like the Racoon has bedded in and settled down, as Canonical releases the first point release of this year’s Ubuntu LTS version, offering an upgrade to users on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat). Ubuntu 26.04.1 is the first point release of April’s long-term support version, which will be supported until 2031. Assuming that it follows the pattern of previous Ubuntu LTS releases, 26.04.1 will be followed by four further point releases – usually, the final release comes a little while after the following LTS release. That means Ubuntu 26.04.5 should arrive some time after Ubuntu 28.04 - meaning in or around September 2028. * ⚓ FunOS_26.04.1_LTS⠀⇛ Release Date: August 29, 2026Base: Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS (Resolute Raccoon) The FunOS team is pleased to announce the release of FunOS 26.04.1 LTS, the first point release for the FunOS 26.04 series. This update brings the latest package bases, a refreshed kernel, and several major hardware compatibility improvements requested by the community, including 32-bit UEFI […] * ⚓ How_to_Install_FunOS_in_OEM_Mode_(For_Manufacturers_and_System Builders)⠀⇛ Installing FunOS in OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) mode allows system builders and hardware vendors to pre-install FunOS on computers before shipping them to customers. When the end user turns on the computer for the first time, they will be greeted with a setup wizard to configure their own user account, location, and keyboard settings. * ⚓ Canonical ☛ Canonical_joins_the_Open_Secure_Hey_Hi_(AI)_Alliance [Ed: Slop boosting cartel to drive sales of plagiarism and nonsense, based on hype and peer pressure]⠀⇛ Canonical is now part of the Open Secure Hey Hi (AI) Alliance, announced by NVIDIA with partners across clown computing, cybersecurity, enterprise software, open source foundations, and Hey Hi (AI) research. The alliance aims to develop and share open technologies, techniques, and tools to safeguard software and agents in the age of AI. * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ AI_harnesses_for_telco_autonomous_networks [Ed: Slopfest]⠀⇛ How do you build a secure, reliable, and interoperable AI harness that bridges probabilistic AI reasoning with deterministic, carrier-grade network execution? ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 265 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/Cloudflare_s_DNS_Surveillance_by_the_Numbers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/Cloudflare_s_DNS_Surveillance_by_the_Numbers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Cloudflare's DNS Surveillance by the Numbers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 29, 2026 * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Cloudflare_frees_up_100TB_of_RAM_by_shrinking 1.1.1.1's_DNS_cache_entries_—_250_billion_cached_DNS_entries_at_any_given time_means_one_wasted_byte_costs_250GB⠀⇛ Cloudflare says that it has freed up roughly 100TB of RAM across its global fleet without reconfiguring any physical RAM modules in its servers, and that it did so by redesigning how each DNS cache entry is laid out in memory. In a technical blog post, systems engineer Sebastiaan Neuteboom gave us an in-depth look at five Rust-level changes to Big Pineapple, the platform behind the 1.1.1.1 resolver, that shrank each cached entry from 953 bytes to 420 bytes and made the cache faster in the process, with insert throughput up 43% and lookup latency down 19%. The recovered memory matches the combined DDR5 in 130 of Cloudflare's 768GB Gen 13 servers, reclaimed in the face of server-grade DDR5 prices that are on track to double year over year. * ⚓ Cloudflare ☛ How_we_saved_100_terabytes_of_memory_by_optimizing 1.1.1.1’s_DNS_cache⠀⇛ Big Pineapple, the platform behind 1.1.1.1, Gateway DNS, DNS Firewall, AS112, and several other Cloudflare DNS services, stores over 250 billion DNS cache entries at any given time. At that scale, wasting a single byte per entry costs more than 250 gigabytes of memory across our fleet. Five successive changes to how cache entries are stored in memory cut the per-entry footprint by over 50%. Across our fleet, these changes freed up roughly 100 terabytes of memory, equivalent to the amount of RAM in 130 of our Gen 13 servers. The cache also got faster. Insert throughput rose 43% and lookup latency dropped 19%, as fewer allocations and better memory locality meant we did not trade speed for space. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 322 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/Coiled_and_Unbothered.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/Coiled_and_Unbothered.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Coiled and Unbothered⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 29, 2026 Having explored why_dial-up_internet_is_better, why_VHS_tapes_are_better_than DVDs_and_Blu-Ray, and why_SaaSS_is_your_digital_savior, we now turn to the cell phone. Remember when you weren't expected to be reachable while buying groceries, walking the dog, or sitting on the toilet? Today we carry fragile glass rectangles that require constant charging, eavesdrop on our conversations to sell us shoes, and vibrate without end. It's exhausting. Fortunately, the solution already exists, and it's probably hanging on a wall at a thrift store near you. Here's why the corded landline telephone is better than any smart phone. The freedom of immobility. Smartphones advertise themselves as "mobile," yet that actually translates to "inescapable." You're expected to answer emails on the train and handle text messages while out to dinner. A corded phone, by contrast, physically ties you to a wall. That coiled plastic cord isn't a leash; it's a built-in boundary that protects your peace. When you leave the house, the phone remains behind. You become unreachable, untrackable, and present in the real world.

EndeavourOS Titan Neo is here with KDE Plasma 6.7.4 and Linux kernel 7.1.8. The default KDE Plasma 6.7.4 installation on the live system is accompanied by the KDE Frameworks 6.28 and KDE Gear 26.04 software suites, both of which introduce numerous improvements to your favorite KDE apps, as well as many under-the-hood changes for a better Plasma desktop experience. Read_on Endeavour OS: * ⚓ Titan_Nova_is_available_-_EndeavourOS⠀⇛ It’s been a while since we released Titan Neo back in March. And to be honest, we thought we would have our next major release, Triton, out by now. But as with most things in life, the road to the next step isn’t easy. In fact, Triton’s journey is obstructed by meteors and asteroids, so to speak. So, we need some more time to finish the work on Triton. The next release will be running Wayland in the Live environment, due to upcoming changes with the Plasma desktop environment. And as you can imagine, this is a major challenge for our development team. That is why we decided to give Titan an update boost to act as a bridge to the Triton release. So, don’t expect big changes. This release includes the necessary hardware support upgrades and a few bug fixes. DW: * ⚓ Distro Watch ☛ Distribution_Release:_EndeavourOS_2026.08.15⠀⇛ The EndeavourOS project has a new release, which is acting as a filler between two major releases. EndeavourOS 2026.08.15 "Titan Nova" fixes some keyboard setup issues, improves support for NVIDIA GPUs, and removes the Budgie desktop environment as an install-time option.

Every supported action is available from the command line, allowing bmm to be integrated with tools such as fzf and shell scripts. Bookmarks can be imported from browser exports and other common formats. They can be searched using their URI, title, tags or general search terms, while the terminal interface provides a convenient way to browse bookmarks and tags. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Kepublicity_–_create_Kobo-formatted_ebooks⠀⇛ Kepublicity is a graphical application for turning standard EPUB ebooks into Kobo-formatted KEPUB files. It provides a simple way to prepare ebooks for Kobo readers without having to perform conversions from the command line. The application supports both local conversion and direct device transfer. You can add EPUB files, process multiple books in a batch, and either save the resulting KEPUB files locally or send them directly to a connected Kobo device. Drag-and-drop support provides another quick way to add ebooks for processing. Kepublicity uses kepubify as its conversion engine. The Flatpak build compiles and bundles kepubify alongside the application rather than relying on a separately installed copy. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ SeleniumBase_-_all-in-one_Python_framework⠀⇛ SeleniumBase is an all-in-one Python framework for browser automation, end-to-end web testing, crawling and scraping. It extends Selenium WebDriver with higher-level APIs, automatic waiting, test runners and tools for recording and reporting browser activity. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ MorphEdit_-_browser-based_and_desktop_audio_editor⠀⇛ MorphEdit is a browser-based and desktop audio editor designed for preparing samples for hardware instruments. It includes dedicated support for Make Noise Morphagene reels while retaining general editing features suitable for other samplers and audio workflows. Audio processing takes place locally, so loaded files are not uploaded to a remote server. MorphEdit can run in a web browser, operate offline as a progressive web app, or be installed as an Electron desktop program. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Qisutu_-_open_source_ticket_system⠀⇛ Qisutu is a self-hosted ticket system designed for handling customer requests and support workflows. It provides separate agent and customer portals together with email processing, automation, reporting, a knowledge base, configuration management database, and REST API. The software is based on Perl/CGI, MariaDB or MySQL, and Template Toolkit. It can be installed as an independent instance, with its installer configuring the required web server integration, system services, database, and initial administrator account. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ 6_Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Geology_and_Earth-Surface_Science_Tools⠀⇛ Open source software is especially well suited to scientific research. Reproducible science benefits when researchers can inspect, share and improve the tools and algorithms used to produce results, rather than relying on closed black boxes. Linux offers an impressive range of scientific software, including strong tools for geology and Earth-surface science. The applications featured here cover cave surveying and mapping, geological visualisation, plate-tectonic reconstruction, structural modelling, uncertainty analysis and numerical simulation of surface processes. We highlight 6 of the finest free and open source tools in our legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart. Only free and open source software is included. Together, they demonstrate the breadth and quality of today’s ecosystem. * ⚓ Atmos_Weather_-_cross-platform_weather_client⠀⇛ Atmos Weather is a cross-platform weather client for checking forecasts and receiving severe weather alerts across the United States.

The name is Kepublicity, and it’s a GNOME app for people who like to send book files from their computer to a Kobo ereader. * ⚓ James Cherti ☛ Measuring_Emacs_Startup_Time_More_Accurately_than_the Built-in_emacs-init-time⠀⇛ Emacs startup proceeds through several stages: it loads the early init and regular init files, processes command-line options, sets after-init-time, runs emacs-startup-hook, performs additional initial-frame setup such as applying frame parameters from the configuration, and then runs window-setup- hook after the initial frame parameters have been configured. This makes window-setup-hook a useful place to record a broader startup-time measurement. * ⚓ Perl ☛ CPerl_mode_for_Emacs_is_now_on_GNU_ELPA⠀⇛ The current version of CPerl mode supports Perl syntax up to Perl 5.44. * ⚓ Ardour ☛ Ardour_9.8_—_What's_new_|_Ardour_DAW⠀⇛ Ardour now allows you to visualize out-of-scale notes and choose if you want to avoid creating them entirely when you compose and improvise in a specific musical key. * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Calibre_ebook_manager_now_lets_you_generate_Hey_Hi_(AI) book_covers [Ed: Unnecessary slop and gimmicks]⠀⇛ A new version of open-source ebook manager Calibre is out – and it lets you create custom book covers using generative AI. Calibre 9.14, released August 28, lets you edit metadata for any book in your library and click an “AI Generate button” to make new ebook covers in “styles such as romance, sci-fi, pulp fiction etc”. You need to set an Hey Hi (AI) provider (with an API key) that supports image generation for the feature to work, but the first time you trigger the feature a setup screen appears. * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Content_Creators_Will_Love_This_FOSS_Android_App⠀⇛ Image Toolbox will draw you in with its export presets tailored for Instagram, X, YouTube, and more. * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ Perl ☛ Announcing_the_London_Perl_&_Raku_Workshop_2026⠀⇛ WHEN: Saturday 21 November 2026 WHERE: The Café at Zoopla, The Cooperage, 5 Copper Row, London SE1 2LH o ⚓ Perl ☛ London_Perl_&_Raku_Workshop_2026_|_Perl_workshop_and training_in_London⠀⇛ Run by volunteers from the London Perl & Raku community, LPW will have talks about Perl, Raku, and other languages, technologies, and topics. * § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ o § Open Data⠀➾ # ⚓ India Times ☛ AI_ecommerce_projects_may_fail_without_clean, centralised_data:_Report⠀⇛ The report said companies often discover problems with their data only after they have already started an AI project. Product information, inventory records and customer data can be spread across different systems, making it difficult for AI tools to work with a complete picture of the business. # ⚓ Mauricio “Pachá” Vargas S ☛ wbstats_1.2.0_is_now_on_CRAN⠀⇛ Programmatic Access to Data and Statistics from the World Bank API ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 864 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/GAFAM_Surveillance_Companies_Swallow_More_and_More_E_mail.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/GAFAM_Surveillance_Companies_Swallow_More_and_More_E_mail.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GAFAM Surveillance Companies Swallow More and More E-mail⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 29, 2026 * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Self-hosted_email_is_in_steep_decline,_Microsoft_and Google_are_taking_over⠀⇛ Self-hosting an email server remains the most common way to process mail, however Google Workspace is hot on its heels with 21.8 percent of detectable MX records, ahead of Microsoft 365’s 16.8 percent. Berezin thinks the fact that two tech giants handle 38.6 percent of email is concerning. * ⚓ RIPE ☛ Two_Providers,_a_Stubborn_Plateau_and_a_Very_Long_Tail:_Email_in the_Tranco_Top-1M⠀⇛ In 2016, 44.6% of MX-publishing domains in the top million ran their own mail server. In the 18 July 2026 snapshot that figure is 22.4% - and it is still falling, down another half a percentage point in the last thirty days alone, which again seems worth the community's attention. The domains didn't disappear; they moved. Google Workspace now receives mail for 21.8% of MX-publishing domains and Microsoft 365 for 16.8%. Together that is 38.6% of the measured Internet's inbound mail behind two companies. Nobody else comes close: the next named provider, Proofpoint, sits at 1.9%. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 913 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/Games_A_Perfect_SimCity_8BitDo_SteamOS_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/Games_A_Perfect_SimCity_8BitDo_SteamOS_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: A Perfect SimCity, 8BitDo, SteamOS, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 29, 2026, updated Aug 29, 2026 * ⚓ Jeff Quast ☛ A_Perfect_SimCity⠀⇛ Don Hopkins has been maintaining FOSS ports of SimCity (1989) as Micropolis and MicropolisCore, faithfully reproducing the ruleset of the original. Using the Python shims provided by gym-city I have run many experiments and share these results here, presenting five high-scoring and five high-population cities, designed algorithmically using the strategies shared below. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Beat_Saber_is_now_Steam_Frame_Verified_| GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ One game I was worried about missing from being playable on the Steam Frame was Beat Saber, but that worry is now gone - exciting! * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ 8BitDo_announce_'Ultimate_Software_Online'_to_update controllers_in_your_browser_to_help_Linux_gamers_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ 8BitDo say Ultimate Software Online is their attempt to make things easier for Linux gamers, no need to download a standalone firmware updater app now (which wasn't available for Linux anyway). * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Lossless_Scaling_Frame_Generation_on_Linux_lsfg-vk moves_away_from_GitHub,_changes_license_due_to_AI_slop_forks_| GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ The developer behind the Lossless Scaling Frame Generation on Linux (lsfg-vk) project has made an announcement about a bunch of major changes. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Proton_Experimental_brings_fixes_for_Dragon_Age: Inquisition,_Far_Cry,_Warhammer:_Vermintide_2_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Valve just launched a brand new update for the compatibility layer Proton Experimental - bringing more Windows game compatibility to SteamOS / Linux systems. They also only recently launched Proton 11.0-2. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ s-box,_the_game_creation_platform_from_Facepunch_now has_a_Linux_Beta_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Facepunch have announced they plan official Linux support for their Source 2 powered game creation platform, s&box, with an initial Beta out now. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ SteamOS_3.8.26_Beta_brings_a_performance_fix_and various_other_improvements_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Valve released SteamOS 3.8.26 Beta that finally fixes a performance issue that has been present in the Beta builds for a while, along with other bug fixes. More on s&box Entrapment (Microsoft GitHub): * ⚓ Garry's_Mod_Successor_'s&box'_is_now_in_Beta_on_Linux⠀⇛ Currently, it's only available via the s&box GitHub page, seemingly as a way to keep it in the hands of those knowledgeable enough to deal with bugs and potential crashes, with Facepunch (the developers) stating that once they feel it's stable enough, they will release it onto Steam for all Linux users to enjoy. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1017 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/GNU_Linux_is_Mainstream.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/GNU_Linux_is_Mainstream.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux is Mainstream⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 29, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Birthday_Again⦈_ Another week has come to an end and based on Clownflare, GNU/Linux and ChromeOS are somewhere near 10%, with statCounter_saying_11%.

While aspects like scheduling, health checks and resource limits are probably at the front of your mind, one other important feature of Kubernetes is production identity — how your workload can authenticate to other systems in order to do its job. * ⚓ Techstrong Group Inc ☛ Kubernetes_v1.37_Enhances_Dynamic_Resource Allocation⠀⇛ Like many of its fellow projects in the open source community, Kubernetes has seen an increase in pull requests, many of which are no doubt generated by AI.  This week’s release of Kubernetes, version 1.37, nicknamed Garhwal, received the most API reviews in the project’s history, a total of 118 ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1357 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/Linux_and_BSD_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/Linux_and_BSD_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Linux and BSD Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 29, 2026 * § Desktop/Laptop⠀➾ o ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ I_gave_my_Linux_gaming_PC_the_Steam_Machine_trick everyone_wants⠀⇛ When Valve announced the Steam Machine, there was a lot of dismay (and rightfully so) over its price, and it was possible to even assemble a more powerful PC for roughly the same budget. But specs only tell half of the story. The Steam Machine also has a bunch of other tricks up its sleeve, something which many will find expensive (or in some cases, outright impossible) to implement. Whether it's the custom, tiny Mini-ITX form factor or the whisper-quiet, low-power internals, the Steam Machine still excels in a few areas. One of these areas would be HDMI-CEC support — which comes fully baked in and integrated right into SteamOS. Since SteamOS runs on x86 hardware, this should be easy to implement, right? I wish it were that easy. I spent weeks in this rabbit hole, trying to make it work, and I believe I have a (mostly) foolproof workaround. * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Hackaday_Podcast_Episode_384:_OCR_MOD_Records,_Magical PCBs,_And_The_Gravity_Of_Space_Stations⠀⇛ What did Hackaday editors Elliot Williams and Al Williams read in Hackaday last week? Probably everything, but you can tune in and hear about their favorites on this week’s podcast. They heard from lots of listeners this week, and also saw DIY projects running from a 3D-printed Stirling engine, to clogs, to LEDs. o ⚓ Pivot to AI ☛ Ketan_Joshi:_AI_versus_the_climate⠀⇛ The rough transcript is on YouTube, the cleaned-up transcript is on the Patreon. * § Kernel Space / File Systems / Virtualization⠀➾ o ⚓ Christian Hofstede-Kuhn ☛ bhyve_Inside_a_Jail:_The_FreeBSD Feature_Nobody_Uses⠀⇛ I have written about jails on this blog often enough that the position is not in doubt. Jails are cheap, they are fast, they are the right default, and the vast majority of what people run in virtual machines would be happier in a jail. That is still what I believe. It is also, occasionally, wrong. A jail shares the host kernel. That single sentence is the whole boundary of the technology. The moment your workload needs a kernel that is not the host’s kernel, no amount of enthusiasm for jails will help you, and you need a hypervisor. I hit that wall four times in the last year, and every one of them has already shown up on this blog in passing: [...] * § Graphics Stack⠀➾ o ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ NVIDIA_Recommended_Driver_version_595.99.02_out now_for_Linux_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ NVIDIA GPU owners on Linux have a brand new Recommended Driver version 595.99.02 out now with some bug fixes.

These inspections can result in consequences far more severe than travel delays, including criminal charges and incarceration. Understanding your personal risk and exactly how to prepare your devices for the trip can be difficult, as the internet is full of fragmented and conflicting advice. Working with a lawyer and a cybersecurity expert, Meduza prepared this detailed guide answering the main questions on the topic. Is it true that FSB officers have a special machine that can find anything on a device? Do you have the right to refuse to unlock your phone, and is there any point in refusing? And what’s the most effective preparation strategy? * ⚓ Zimbabwe ☛ Why_Your_Phone_Has_Barely_Any_Local_Apps:_The_Zimbabwean Startup_Problem⠀⇛ A quick look at your phone’s homepage can show you how exactly bad it looks. Most of us barely have any local apps on our phones. The only ones we usually have are backed by already big companies like Econet and Simbisa. With the exception of your friend’s vibecoded app you have in the name of support of course. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1523 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/Open_Hardware_Modding_Raspberry_Pi_Orange_Pi_Zero_4_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/Open_Hardware_Modding_Raspberry_Pi_Orange_Pi_Zero_4_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi Zero 4, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 29, 2026 * ⚓ Raspberry_Pi_Weekly_Issue_#540_-_A_jiggy_new_product_for_provisioning Raspberry_Pi_Compute_Module_5_at_scale⠀⇛ Say bye-bye to summer — it’s time for the 2027 Raspberry Pi Book of Making! Howdy, A bumper issue of Raspberry Pi Weekly is here to close out your summer. We've all been in and out on our holidays, so we've managed to save up quite the stash of Raspberry Pi news for you. Check out the brand-new Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 Programming Jig — perfect for developers working with high volumes of our latest modular computer. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Spark_Solder_one-handed_USB-C_soldering_iron_supports TS100_tips,_integrates_solder_feeder_(Crowdfunding)⠀⇛ Spark Solder is a compact, USB-C-powered one-handed soldering iron with a built-in motorized solder feeder for convenient one-handed operation. It supports standard TS100 tips, delivers up to 45W of heating power, and features a 1-inch LCD for adjusting the temperature and solder feed speed. While smart, portable soldering irons are very common these days, using one can still be tricky when you have to handle the iron, solder wire, and components at the same time. Spark Solder solves this by adding a replaceable solder capsule and a two-axis motorized feeding system to the handle, leaving one hand free for easier assembly, prototyping, and repairs. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Orange_Pi_Zero_4_with_Octa-Core_Allwinner_A733,_PCIe 3.0,_and_Wi-Fi_6⠀⇛ Orange Pi has shown the Orange Pi Zero 4, a compact single- board computer based on the Allwinner A733 SoC. The board combines an octa-core Arm CPU, a PowerVR GPU, a 3 TOPS NPU, up to 16GB of LPDDR5/LPDDR4X/LPDDR4 memory, Gigabit Ethernet, Wi- Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and multiple display and camera interfaces in a 50 x 55mm form factor. * ⚓ 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 AI development, data science, inference, AI agents, and physical AI workloads, with a 72-core Arm processor, Blackwell Ultra GPU, up to 748GB of coherent memory, and dual 400GbE connectivity. * ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ A_better_model_for_silicon:_quantifying_chip_carbon_with Columbia_and_Cornell⠀⇛ In a previous post, we described how we calculate the embodied carbon of our products: weighing each component, mapping those weights to the ecoinvent database, and working with our partners to build a full life cycle assessment (LCA). It’s a solid, tangible approach — but as we looked harder at the results, one part of the picture kept nagging at us: Silicon. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Casting_Engine_Parts_From_3D_Prints⠀⇛ Since DIY is really his thing, he also made his own kiln using cement and perlite, plus a propane burner. For the aluminium material to melt, he bought a stack of aluminium alloy wheels, as these are made of an alloy that’s actually suitable for casting. These were turned into ingots as a first step towards casting the engine parts, which among other things helps to purify the metal. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ DOOM_Played_On_Series_Of_555_Timers⠀⇛ It’s technically true that any piece of software can be reproduced in hardware, although modern software’s size and complexity generally makes this a non-starter. But if we go far enough back in time, older software becomes easier and easier to implement in hardware. The original DOOM from 1993 might one day be recreated in full this way, but that day is not today. Instead, [Nick] has recreated the original music from that game, playing the opening track in nothing but 555 timers. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Reviving_An_SD_Card_With_Shorted_Capacitors⠀⇛ A big hint during initial diagnostics was a clear short between the supply rail and ground, but as became clear when taking the SD card apart, this one was built as a monolithic package, without exposed components on a PCB as in older SD cards. Correspondingly an X-ray machine and thermal camera were used to figure out what was inside the package, and where the short was located. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ This_Library_Needs_To_Be_At_Least…_Three_Times_Bigger⠀⇛ The library is based around a tiny robotic arm that can physically grip the cards and move them in and out of a reader. The first iteration of the arm involved rotating the two pincers, but this turned out to be overly complicated and [svofski] eventually settled on a design resembling a rack and pinion that slides the two pincers together instead. With the gripper sorted out, it’s placed in system called T-bot arrangement, similar to coreXY kinematics, that lets it pick and place among 12 microSD card slots. * ⚓ Jeff Geerling ☛ Building_a_mini_Homelab_that_fits_in_my_carry-on⠀⇛ So I built a little 'portable homelab' (pictured above) that supports 1-10 Gbps networking, can run off a small battery for at least an hour, switches between multiple WANs (so I can get my own 5G Internet connection, in case I need it), and gives me 12 wired Ethernet connections. Is it overkill for this particular scenario? Absolutely. Would it look different if Micro Center hadn't sponsored the build as part of their Columbus OH grand re-opening event? You bet. That said, it's not far off some of the other networking mini- rack builds I've seen in the Project MINI RACK Build Showcase. And I'm happy to have more flexibility when I'm on the road trying to keep other weird stuff (like vintage computers) running. It's better to go overkill on the network stack since I don't want to debug that alongside the Macs. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ This_custom_motorized_turntable_makes_welding_easier⠀⇛ MIG welding isn’t very difficult — at least not until you need to weld something at a weird angle or over a long seam. Those situations will make your welds look like they were done by an inebriated amateur. The best way to handle that is by setting yourself up to maintain stability through the entire weld. For achieving that on round objects, Greenhill Forge constructed an Arduino-controlled rotary welding table. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1696 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/PHP_RPMs_Flatpak_IBM_Sponsored_by_German_Government_and_Red_Hat.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/PHP_RPMs_Flatpak_IBM_Sponsored_by_German_Government_and_Red_Hat.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ PHP RPMs, Flatpak (IBM) Sponsored by German Government, and Red Hat Selling Slop⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 29, 2026 * ⚓ Remi Collet ☛ Remi_Collet:_⚙️_PHP_version_8.4.25_and_8.5.10⠀⇛ RPMs of PHP version 8.5.10 are available in the remi-modular repository for Fedora 43 and Enterprise Linux 8 (RHEL, Alma, CentOS, Rocky...). * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Sovereign_Tech_Agency_makes_a_big_investment_into Flatpak_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ This is great to see! The Sovereign Tech Agency have made a big investment into the future of Flatpak, the modern Linux packaging format. Flatpak is the main way to install extra applications on SteamOS too, along with many other distributions. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Managing_enterprise_AI_at_scale:_Hosting,_deployment patterns,_and_Day_2_operations [Ed: Slop @ Red Hat]⠀⇛ When you're building out your AI infrastructure, one fundamental choice is whether to use managed AI models via APIs or host the models yourself. That decision directly impacts the architecture we've already discussed, and affects cost structure, data privacy, operational complexity, and how quickly you can scale. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Learning_while_building:_How_Red_Hat_Training accelerates_technical_growth⠀⇛ When I started my internship at Red Hat as a product training analyst intern, I faced both challenges at once: I had minimal Linux and terminal experience and was tasked with organizing complex course telemetry and platform data. I could see raw numbers and course titles in spreadsheets, but without hands-on context, connecting how classroom materials related to backend data felt like trying to solve a puzzle with missing pieces. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Celebrating_excellence:_Honoring_the_Red_Hat_Academy APAC_award_winners⠀⇛ Red Hat Academy empowers educational institutions with a comprehensive curriculum designed to keep pace with evolving industry demands. Developed with input from Red Hat's development, support, and consulting teams, the curriculum focuses on hands-on learning across Linux, automation, middleware, cloud, AI, and container technologies. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Self-service_backup_for_VMs_and_containers_on_OpenShift:_No cluster-admin_required⠀⇛ If you run a multi-tenant Red Bait OpenShift cluster, you've probably hit this wall: every Velero backup and restore requires cluster-admin privileges. Your application teams can't protect their own workloads. Instead, they open a ticket, wait for the platform team, and hope the backup happens before something breaks. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1781 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 29, 2026 * ⚓ Sandor Dargo ☛ I_helped_to_build_GetCracked's_Intermediate_C++ Roadmap⠀⇛ A few months ago, Coding Jesus reached out to me about collaborating on content for GetCracked, his C++ learning platform. The pitch was simple: he was building an interactive roadmap for intermediate C++ developers and wanted someone to help with building the technical content — quiz questions, curated resources, explanations. That sounded like exactly the kind of work I enjoy, so I said yes. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Olaf Alders ☛ How_I_Spent_My_Perl_Toolchain_Summit_v2025_ (Leipzig)⠀⇛ The Perl Toolchain Summit (PTS) is an annual event, held in Europe, where work on improving the Perl toolchain takes place. I was fortunate to be able to attend PTS once again in 2025. We met in Leipzig, Germany. This was my 1st trip to Leipzig and my 10th PTS in total. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ Y_is_for_YAGNI_-_Python_A_to_Z⠀⇛ While I like writing code to solve my technical problems and fulfill my software needs, I don’t like writing unnecessary code. Writing something because you thought it could be useful is often — unless you learned something from it — wasteful in terms of time and effort and added complexity. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ Aman Mittal ☛ Taking_the_terminal_seriously_in_the_age_of_AI coding_agents⠀⇛ Here’s my current Ghostty configuration: [...] * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ wbstats_1.2.0_is_now_on_CRAN⠀⇛ Programmatic Access to Data and Statistics from the World Bank API o ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_corels_0.0.6_on_CRAN: Microfix⠀⇛ An updated version of the corels package is now on CRAN! The ‘Certifiably Optimal RulE ListS (Corels)’ learner provides interpretable decision rules with an optimality guarantee—a nice feature which sets it apart in machine learning. o ⚓ R Statistics and Programming ☛ Visual_Representation_of_Complex Data_Using_R:_The_tm_and_wordcloud_Packages:_Part_Two⠀⇛ In part one of this tutorial, I discussed the use of the tm and wordcloud packages to create a visual representation of the most frequently used words in the 2026 Presidential State of the Union Address. I also discussed the code needed to generate an initial analysis of the wordcloud with a list of the 15 most used words and their frequency. I also discussed code that calculated a matrix consisting of the relative strength of association among 10 most commonly used words and other words used in the address. In this tutorial I will present code to display two wordclouds, one containing frequently used words in the 2009 State of the Union Address, and one containing the frequently used words from the 2017 State of the Union Address. I will also show the R code necessary to produce a simple bar graph of the most frequently used words and the association matrix for each wordcloud. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1893 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/Proprietary_Allergy_for_Linux_and_ZDNet_Promoting_Proprietary_P.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/Proprietary_Allergy_for_Linux_and_ZDNet_Promoting_Proprietary_P.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Proprietary Allergy for "Linux" and ZDNet Promoting Proprietary Paperwork⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 29, 2026 * ⚓ XDA ☛ Linux_never_got_a_licensed_DVD_player,_and_the_code_everyone_uses instead_ended_up_on_T-shirts_and_in_a_haiku⠀⇛ Chances are high that you've watched a movie on your computer before, and if you're old enough, you may have done so woth a good old fashioned DVD. However, it didn't used to be as simple as just put a DVD in your computer and start watching, especially if you used Linux. In fact, watching a movie on your computer used to be somewhat of a legal minefield. At the center of that minefield was a Norwegian teenager, Jon Lech Johansen, who just wanted to watch DVDs on his Linux box. And the program he helped write, DeCSS, was what cracked the encryption that kept free operating systems from playing commercial films, and it set off legal fights in Norway and the United States that ran for years. In Oslo, Johansen was acquitted twice, and the code itself turned into a kind of speech that people would read aloud at conferences. * ⚓ ZDNet ☛ This_Linux_and_Windows_app_makes_managing_all_your_documents easier⠀⇛ Paperwork is free and can be installed on any Linux distribution and even Windows.

For instance, someone dug up an iPhone 6S and slapped Linux on it, and while it was a pain to get working, it's a cool example of how you can give old tech a new lease on life.

completely skip over MX Linux. There’s no glossy marketing campaign behind it, most YouTube channels don’t cover it, and you probably won’t see it trending on social media. However, at the time of writing, MX Linux ranks number three on DistroWatch, beating popular names like Ubuntu, Fedora, and even Zorin OS—which recently got a million downloads. Here are three reasons that justify its dominant position. [...] MX Linux ships in three editions, each built around a different desktop environment and targeted at a different class of hardware. KDE Plasma is designed for modern machines that can handle a visually rich, feature-heavy experience. Xfce is the default and offers a solid middle ground for systems that are a few years old. Fluxbox is aimed at genuinely under-powered machines, where even Xfce can feel heavy. There’s also an official ARM edition for the Raspberry Pi, running Xfce with the full MX tool set. Furthermore, the distro is based on Debian Stable, and by virtue of that heritage, you get a robust and stable user experience. All the apps and software packages in its repositories go through thorough testing. The only trade-off is that its drivers may not be fully optimized for cutting-edge, high-end hardware—especially when it comes to graphics.

If you’re catching up, the short version is in my_intro_post: a GPU reset invalidates the EGL context and wipes all GPU memory, and until now Mutter had no way to come back from that. My project is a recovery mechanism so a reset doesn’t take the whole session down. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2461 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/This_Week_in_Plasma_QtWidgets_Apps_Join_the_Union.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/This_Week_in_Plasma_QtWidgets_Apps_Join_the_Union.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ This Week in Plasma: QtWidgets Apps Join the Union⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 29, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇QtWidgets_apps⦈_ Quoting: This Week in Plasma: QtWidgets Apps Join the Union - KDE Blogs — Welcome to a new issue of This Week in Plasma! This week saw the first stirrings of support for QtWidgets-based apps in KDE’s new Union theming system, which is a very exciting milestone. But that’s not all! This week is also packed with UI improvements, performance improvements, bug fixes, and a few more features, too. Plasma 6.8 is rapidly shaping up, and all this work reflects it. Check it out: [...] Read_On! Also: * ⚓ Initial_Release_of_Union_QtWidgets_|_AksDev⠀⇛ It has begun. After couple months of work, I have now finally managed to cobble together the QtWidgets side of Union. This means that your QtWidgets apps, such as Dolphin, KMail, Kate etc. can now use the Union CSS files as the source of their styling. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣻⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠽⡏⡿⢿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣭⠿⠿⠿⠿⠉⠉⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⠯⢽⠯⣭⠭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⠉⠿⢿⣿⠭⡭⠭⣿⠿⢩⢽⡭⡯⣿⠉⢱⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⢀⠀⠠⠀⣰⡦⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⣤⣤⠀⣤⡤⠀⢤⡄⠀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡄⠄⣤⣤⣤⠀⣠⣤⡄⠀⣤⡤⠀⢤⣤⣤⣤⡤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⣤⣤⠰⣦⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠿⠿⢧⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⢠⡄⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣖⣶⣷⣞⣾⠚⢒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⣭⣭⣤⣭⣭⣭⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢩⢹⣿⣿ ⣆⡀⢠⣤⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢛⣛⣉⠘⠁⠁⠂⠁⣀⣈⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⣤⣨⢤⣤⣤⣤⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⣄⣀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⢨⢥⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⠧⡄⠀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣉⡉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠄⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⡇⠀⢤⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⣤⣼⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠅⠀⠀⠨⠭⠭⠭⠄⠀⠀⠀⠭⠭⠭⠭⠄⠀⠀⠨⠭⠭⠭⠭⠀⠀⠠⠬⠭⠭⠭⠥⠀⠀⠀⠠⠭⠥⠅⠀⣠⢠⣠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡷⠧⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠘⠙⣯⡝⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠋⣽⣯⠉⠀⠀⠀⠈⢛⣽⣝⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠃⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⢫⣏⠙⠋⢤⢤⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡷⠿⠶⠶⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣒⣒⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣷⣶⠤⣤⣤⠄⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⢹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣉⣉⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣧⣤⣤⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⣉⣉⣘⣉⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⢁⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣇⣥⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣀⣒⣒⣒⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣬⣈⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣤⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡏⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠶⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢉⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠁⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣼⣼⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡟⠟⠓⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⢛⡒⠒⠚⠓⠛⠚⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠸⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡷⠶⠖⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠶⠶⠴⡤⠤⠤⢦⠤⡦⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠛⠉⠙⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡟⠿⠒⠶⠶⠂⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⢶⠶⠶⡦⠶⢶⠶⠶⡶⠶⠶⠶⠦⠠⡴⠶⠤⢐⣐⢲⣶⣆⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸⣸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣷⡶⠴⠶⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣷⣤⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠶⠿⠾⡿⠿⠾⠾⠷⠗⠏⠈⠉⠉⠿⠿⠶⠶⠅⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣷⣶⠦⠤⡤⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣧⣤⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣏⣉⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣘⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣂⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2545 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/Today_in_Techrights.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/Today_in_Techrights.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Today in Techrights⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 29, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Crystal_Palace⦈_ ⚓ Updated This Past Day⠀⇛ ⚓ Updates:⠀⇛ 1.

Linuxize ☛ Regex_Cheatsheet⠀⇛ Regex syntax and examples for GNU/Linux tools, including metacharacters, quantifiers, character classes, anchors, groups, BRE, ERE, and PCRE * ⚓ Gigi ☛ META_to_MEZA_-_Make_Everything_ZapAble⠀⇛ I’ve been working on the Android version of Boris recently, mostly as a fun experiment on the side (If I’m entirely honest I’ve been doing it as therapy, but let’s not get into that). As a consequence, my shower thoughts have revolved around web content a lot (blog posts, articles, podcasts, highlights, transcripts, links, quotes, and the like). One of said shower thoughts was “How can we make everything zappable?” To my delight, lots of prior work exists. The answer, of course, is meta tags. * ⚓ Dan Q ☛ Vanity_Nameservers_(White-Label_DNS)_in_2026⠀⇛ If the nameservers for a domain are at a subdomain of that domain, you’ve got a circular dependency. To solve that, you have the servers one level higher provide “glue records” in addition to the list of nameservers. The glue records, which are shown in the “additional section:” of dig‘s output, above, solve the circular dependency. Now, the nameservers can be found without first having to… find the nameservers! * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Using_Polkit_to_prevent_people_from_doing 'loginctl_enable-linger'⠀⇛ As I mentioned in yesterday's entry, the standard systemd behavior is that anyone can do 'loginctl enable-linger' for themselves. We don't want people to do this on our servers, partly because it doesn't work the way people expect in our NFS fileserver environment and partly for other reasons. Today I worked out how to disable this, and refreshed my memory of Polkit (also) in the process (Polkit is how systemd controls authorization for many of its operations that normal people can theoretically invoke). * ⚓ Naty S ☛ Starting_Over_With_the_Pi⠀⇛ My choice of dashboard will remain with Homer as I already had the config set and don’t want to waste time customizing. I still have about four more services I have to restore—but everything is going well so far. I now know how to use Caddy to manage the services with ports mapping to the individual containers and everything will be available within my Tailnet. When I tried working on this headless Pi project the first time, I didn’t know how to access the server outside from home. With Tailscale and Caddy this time round, I’m very happy to get access when I’m not home! * ⚓ Amber Weinberg ☛ Recent_Improvements_in_Web_Development⠀⇛ I’ve written extensively about this recently – from using popovers and invoker commands for mobile menus and dialogs, details for accordions, and soon styling for selects – there’s never been less need for Javascript. I’ve been able to switch out my mega menus, mobile menus, and video/image lightboxes with only a tiny bit of JS to handle media types or add a bit of extra accessibility. We’ll never fully get away from Javascript (and really we shouldn’t, it’s very useful as long as it stays in its lane), but we can improve a website’s performance dramatically by reducing it. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2979 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/Tumbleweed_s_Review_of_the_Week_and_Planet_News_Roundup.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/Tumbleweed_s_Review_of_the_Week_and_Planet_News_Roundup.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Tumbleweed's Review of the Week and Planet News Roundup⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 29, 2026 * ⚓ Dominique Leuenberger ☛ Tumbleweed_–_Review_of_the_week_2026/35⠀⇛ Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, This week saw the release of 5 snapshots (0820, 0821, 0822, 0825, and 0826). It was an exceptionally packed week of updates, successfully delivering three major items that had been brewing in our staging areas. First, snapshot 0821 brought the entire Qt 6.11.2 library stack, laying a solid foundation for the desktop environment. This was immediately followed in snapshot 0825 by the arrival of KDE Gear 26.08.0, which introduces substantial productivity upgrades to Dolphin (with advanced regex-capable filtering and decoupled grouping), Okular (unified settings and improved annotating workflows), and Konsole (which adds Alt+Click drag-and-drop support). * ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ Planet_News_Roundup⠀⇛ This week highlights the SUSE security review that uncovered remote root exploits in OpenRGB, the release of LibreOffice 26.8, KDE’s continued work on the Wayland remote desktop and KDE Gear improvements, Matthias Klumpp’s Sovereign Tech Fellowship plans for Freedesktop, AppStream and PackageKit, and six Tumbleweed snapshots delivering KDE Frameworks 6.29.0. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3029 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/Web_Browsers_Web_Servers_News_Focus_on_Browsers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/29/Web_Browsers_Web_Servers_News_Focus_on_Browsers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Web Browsers/Web Servers News, Focus on Browsers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 29, 2026 * ⚓ Ricardo Mendes ☛ A_Node_on_the_Web⠀⇛ Dreaming about a Chromium/Firefox extension that auto open any article on the web in reading mode. * ⚓ 8BitDo_Launches_"Ultimate_Software_Online"_Browser-Based_Configuration Tool_for_Linux_Users⠀⇛ There has been a recent trend among peripherals brands to move to online or browser-based configuration and remapping tools, with tools like Wooting, Keychron Launcher, and open-source varieties like QMK/VIA and ZMK Studio leading the charge in the keyboard world. Now, it seems as though 8BitDo has seen the writing on the wall and announced the 8BitDo Ultimate Software Online to broaden compatibility for its suite of reprogrammable peripherals. At the time of writing, the browser-based configurator is still in beta, and it seems to only support nine devices. 8BitDo notes that the software is designed to expand compatibility specifically for Linux, and it recommends that users on Windows and macOS continue to use the installable version of the software, since it is currently more feature-complete. The brand also says that it will continue adding device and feature support to the web app. * § Chromium⠀➾ o ⚓ Chromium_152_–_a_pain_to_compile,_so_have_patience_(similar_for LibreOffice)⠀⇛ Chromium 152 sources contain another major step for Surveillance Giant Google to unify their build infrastructure. Great for Surveillance Giant Google but for me it sucks. Because unfortunately for me (and for you, the Chromium browser user) Surveillance Giant Google introduces new tools as part of their custom Rust toolchain that I am unable to compile locally as Slackware-native binaries. * § Mozilla⠀➾ o ⚓ Tor ☛ New_Alpha_Release:_Tor_Browser_16.0a10_|_The_Tor_Project⠀⇛ ⚠️ Reminder: The Tor Browser Alpha release-channel is for testing only. As such, Tor Browser Alpha is not intended for general use because it is more likely to include bugs affecting usability, security, and privacy. Moreover, Tor Browser Alphas are now based on Firefox's betas. Please read more about this important change in the Future of Tor Browser Alpha blog post. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 3111 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 31 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
