Running a single command, such as apt update && apt upgrade, checks for new versions of the operating system, drivers, and virtually every application installed through the distribution's repositories, then downloads and installs them all in one pass. There's no need to open a dozen different programs individually or hunt for update buttons buried in obscure settings menus. Windows, by contrast, splits updates across multiple, disconnected systems. Windows Update handles the operating system and Microsoft Store apps, but most third-party software still relies on its own built-in updater, or worse, requires manually checking a website for a newer installer. Browsers, media players, creative tools, and utilities each manage their own update cycle, and many don't check automatically at all. Tools like Winget—which comes pre-installed on modern Windows versions—and third-party utilities such as Ninite or Chocolatey have narrowed the gap somewhat, but they still don't cover every piece of software the way a distribution's repositories typically do.

It provides a unified syntax for working with JSON, YAML, TOML, XML, CSV, HCL, INI and KDL data. The software lets you select and search values, update structured documents and convert data between supported formats. It is designed to work well in shell scripts and pipelines, and can also be used as a Go library. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Detox_-_gray-box_end-to-end_testing_and_automation_framework⠀⇛ Detox is a gray-box end-to-end testing and automation framework for mobile applications. It runs tests against Android and iOS applications on devices or simulators and synchronizes test actions with activity inside the application. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ moonlight_–_extensible_Discord_client_modification⠀⇛ Its community catalogue contains more than 100 extensions, which can be installed and configured through the Moonbase interface. Extensions in the official repository are reviewed by the project team and built from source using public GitHub workflows; third-party repositories remain the user’s responsibility. Developers can modify Discord through conventional Webpack patches or abstract syntax tree transformations without recompiling moonlight itself. Browser builds are available for Chromium and Firefox, although the project describes browser support as experimental and custom repositories may encounter cross-origin restrictions. Using moonlight contravenes Discord’s Terms of Service, as is the case with other unofficial client modifications. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ FIPS_–_OpenGL-based_FITS_image_viewer⠀⇛ The application is designed around the Flexible Image Transport System (FITS), a format widely used for storing astronomical and other scientific image data. Instead of relying solely on CPU rendering, FIPS takes advantage of GPU hardware for common viewing operations. FIPS supports all 2D FITS image formats, although floating- point formats are not supported when using OpenGL 2.1. There is also basic, limited support for FITS image extensions. The interface provides the essential controls needed when inspecting FITS data, including zooming, panning and image level adjustment. OpenGL 2.1 and later is supported. The project is also available for macOS and Windows, making it useful for researchers and astronomers who work across multiple platforms. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ bited_-_bitmap_font_designer_and_editor⠀⇛ bited is a bitmap font designer and editor focused on monochrome Unicode BDF fonts. It provides a graphical environment for creating pixel fonts from scratch as well as importing and modifying existing fonts. The interface includes an editor for drawing individual glyphs, a glyph table for working with multiple characters, and a tree for navigating character sets and encodings. Fonts can be previewed with test text while they are being designed. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ shelter_–_robust_Discord_client_modification⠀⇛ It emphasizes resilience by minimizing its dependence on Discord’s frequently changing internal implementation. The modification operates within the web environment and does not require Node.js at runtime, which makes it suitable for both browser-based Discord and compatible desktop wrappers. shelter supplies a plugin system, documented APIs and development tooling intended to make extensions easier to maintain. Official browser extensions are available for Firefox and Edge, while Chromium users can install an unpacked build manually. Its desktop installer supports multiple platforms without requiring root privileges. Community plugins are not continuously audited, so users should evaluate their source and permissions. Client modification also contravenes Discord’s Terms of Service. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Laigter_–_generate_lighting_maps_for_2D_game_artwork⠀⇛ Laigter is a graphical texture utility for turning 2D artwork into maps used by dynamic lighting systems in games. It analyses a diffuse image and can derive normal, parallax, specular and occlusion maps without requiring the artist to model the sprite in 3D. Adjustable generation settings and a live preview help balance depth and highlights before the maps are exported. Although particularly suited to sprites and other hand-drawn game assets, its preset system and command-line mode also make it practical for repeatable batches. The application is built with Qt and OpenGL and provides a native GUI alongside non-interactive operation. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ SatX_–_live_3D_satellite_and_space_debris_tracker⠀⇛ SatX is a desktop satellite tracker that visualises artificial satellites and space debris on an interactive 3D globe. It downloads public two-line element data and continuously calculates current orbital positions rather than receiving live telemetry from individual spacecraft. Users can filter the catalogue by object type, search by name or NORAD identifier and inspect the satellites nearest to their location. Optional Starlink integration reads the pointing direction from a locally accessible dish and attempts to identify its serving satellite. The application is built with Tauri, React, Three.js and satellite.js. It operates locally without a SatX cloud service, although an internet connection is needed to download the orbital catalogue. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Xfce4_Notes_Plugin_-_sticky_notes_for_the_Xfce_desktop⠀⇛ Xfce4 Notes Plugin provides sticky notes for the Xfce desktop. It offers a quick way to jot down a to-do list, paste a piece of code, record a reminder or keep other short pieces of information readily accessible. The software integrates with the Xfce panel, giving you convenient access to your notes from the desktop. Notes are stored locally under the XDG data directory. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ 5_Useful_Free_and_Open_Source_Terminal_String_Styling_Libraries⠀⇛ ANSI escape sequences provide the foundation for this presentation, yet working with them directly can be cumbersome. Developers must consider colour support, terminal capabilities, nested styles, output redirection and user preferences. A well- designed programming interface handles these details while keeping source code readable and avoiding unnecessary overhead. The strongest options make it simple to apply foreground and background colours, bold or underlined text and other visual effects. They should also degrade gracefully when styling is disabled or unsupported. Performance matters too, particularly for command-line programs that generate large volumes of output or run frequently as part of automated workflows. Choosing the right approach depends on several factors, including programming language, API design, portability, feature set and resource use. Some developers favour minimalism and speed, while others need richer formatting or more sophisticated terminal detection. Here’s our verdict captured in a legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart. Only free and open source software is eligible for inclusion. * ⚓ Kanata_-_cross-platform_keyboard_remapper⠀⇛ Kanata is a cross-platform keyboard remapper. It lets you extensively customise keyboard behaviour, bringing functionality commonly associated with programmable keyboard firmware to ordinary keyboards, including laptop keyboards. The software supports multiple layers, tap-hold actions, macros, Unicode output and other advanced key behaviours. Configuration is handled through human-readable files, with live reloading available to make testing changes easier. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Equicord_–_Discord_client_mod_with_over_300_plugins⠀⇛ It retains Vencord’s familiar settings interface, theme support and custom CSS facilities, making migration straightforward for existing users. Equicord can modify Discord’s desktop application or be compiled as a browser extension for the web client. The accompanying Equilotl installer offers graphical and command-line installation workflows across Linux, Windows and macOS. Development combines frequent upstream merges with Equicord-specific fixes and additions. Using Equicord, like any unofficial Discord client modification, contravenes Discord’s Terms of Service and may expose an account to enforcement action. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Gaffer_–_node-based_VFX_look_development_and_production_application⠀⇛ Gaffer is a node-based VFX application for building, modifying, lighting and rendering complex scenes. It addresses look development and production automation rather than conventional hand-painted texture creation: artists and technical directors construct graphs that describe scene assembly, shaders, lights, render settings and image processing. A multithreaded deferred-evaluation engine calculates only the data needed for the current view or output, which helps the same graph scale from interactive work to final delivery. Gaffer also serves as an application framework, allowing studios to create custom nodes, interfaces and pipeline tools with C++ and Python. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Apache_Directory_Studio_–_Eclipse-based_LDAP_browser_and_directory client⠀⇛ Its LDAP Browser provides a graphical environment for navigating directory trees, running searches, and creating, editing, renaming, moving, or deleting directory entries. Connections, searches, and bookmarks can be retained, which is useful when administering several directory servers or repeatedly working with specific parts of a directory tree. The application brings several specialist tools together in one desktop interface. The LDIF Editor handles LDIF content and change records with syntax highlighting and content assistance, while the Schema Editor provides tools for editing attribute types, object classes, and OpenLDAP-format schemas. ApacheDS users also get configuration tooling, an integrated server environment, and an ACI Editor for creating access control information graphically or as source. Apache Directory Studio is built as an Eclipse RCP application from Eclipse/OSGi plugins. It can run as a standalone desktop application or its components can be installed into Eclipse. The project provides builds for Linux, macOS, and Windows. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ WebCord_–_privacy-focused_Discord_web_client⠀⇛ It does not reimplement or directly interact with the Discord API, allowing it to retain the service’s familiar interface and most web features. WebCord concentrates on privacy, permission management and Linux integration while providing workarounds for Electron, Chromium and Discord compatibility problems. It can block selected telemetry endpoints, disguise detectable web API modifications and restrict the resources Discord may load. Linux packages are available for several processor architectures. A major rewrite is underway, but the existing version continues to receive maintenance updates, dependency upgrades and targeted improvements such as better Wayland screen sharing. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Ansizalizer_–_terminal_UI_to_convert_images_to_ANSI_art⠀⇛ Ansizalizer supports static images and animated GIFs. It also offers batch conversion, palette generation, dithering, image adjustments, transparency handling, settings presets and export to an ANSI text file or the clipboard. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ 7_Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Geophysics,_Seismology_and_Earthquake Engineering_Tools⠀⇛ Computational tools play an important role across these disciplines. They can process, analyse and visualise seismological observations, interpret seismic datasets, model subsurface structures, and solve forward and inverse geophysical problems. Such software helps researchers infer properties of the Earth from measurements collected at the surface or in boreholes. Other tools concentrate on seismic hazard and risk, estimating the likelihood and potential consequences of earthquakes. Earthquake engineering extends this work to the response of buildings, bridges and other structures, using numerical simulation to examine how engineered systems behave under seismic loading. Modern geophysical software also supports parameter estimation, optimisation and increasingly machine learning techniques. These approaches can assist with tasks such as seismic event detection, phase picking and the analysis of very large datasets. Here we feature the best free and open source tools for geophysics, seismology and earthquake engineering. * ⚓ BORG_Calendar_-_desktop_calendar_and_task_tracking_application⠀⇛ BORG Calendar is a desktop calendar and task tracking application that combines personal scheduling, to-do management and project tracking in a single program. It is designed for users who prefer to keep their calendar data locally rather than depend on an online service, while still offering reminders, recurring appointments, private entries and broader task-management features. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Material_Maker_–_procedural_texture_authoring_and_3D_painting_tool⠀⇛ Material Maker is a graphical application for designing procedural materials and painting texture sets onto 3D models. Built on Godot, it represents generators, filters, transforms and outputs as interconnected nodes, so a material remains editable rather than being flattened into a fixed bitmap. Its workflow covers 2D and 3D textures, physically based rendering maps and graph-driven brushes in one interface. Results can be examined in 2D or on a configurable 3D preview before export. Graphs can be divided into reusable subgraphs and assets can be shared through the project’s online library, making the program useful for individual models and repeatable game-art pipelines. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Commit_–_editor_for_Git_and_Mercurial_commit_messages⠀⇛ Commit is a focused graphical editor for composing Git and Mercurial commit messages. It replaces a general-purpose text editor with a purpose-built interface that encourages clear, consistently formatted messages without attempting to become a complete repository client. Once configured, Commit opens whenever a supported version- control operation needs text. Messages can be accepted with Ctrl+Return or abandoned with Escape, fitting neatly into keyboard-driven workflows. The window identifies the project and current branch at a glance. Its GTK 4 and libadwaita interface fits naturally into GNOME desktops. This is free and open source software. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣟⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⡿⢿⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⡯⠗⣏⣣⣯⣵⡽⢷⡱⠿⡿⠛⡿⣯⣿⣳⣾⣶⣿⠿⣟⡛⣟⣻⣿⠻⣟⣾⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠄⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠉⠉⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠟⠋⣋⢍⣕⣵⣾⠻⡿⠟⠏⢙⡍⢵⣷⡔⢾⠾⠟⠿⠿⠝⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠺⠿⠟⢛⢀⣠⣤⣤⠰⠆⠹⠟⠛⠛⠈⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠶⠟⠛⠚⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⡄⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠆⠒⠉⠁⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 895 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/31/Brazilian_Desktop_Laptop_Users_and_GNU_Linux.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/31/Brazilian_Desktop_Laptop_Users_and_GNU_Linux.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Brazilian Desktop/Laptop Users and GNU/ Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 31, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Statue_of_Christ_the_Redeemer_in_Rio_de_Janeiro⦈_ Earlier this year GNU/Linux sites expressed concerns about new_laws_that_would impede_GNU/Linux_in_Brazil and this summer we see GNU/Linux_rising_there and in fellow_BRIC_nations.

AB 1856 doesn’t touch that core requirement, but it redefines who counts as an “operating system provider” in the first place. The amended text excludes any person or entity that distributes an OS or application under “license terms that permit a recipient to copy, redistribute, and modify the software.” In plain terms, California’s upcoming Digital Age Assurance Act law excludes Linux distributions and open-source software generally.

Although Octo could previously represent such a use case with a computed column, a computed column cannot be indexed; so a query will be expensive. Octo now allows such a column to be defined and indexed. As part of this work, I took the opportunity to implement the extraction of Lab Chemistry Data in VistA. What’s the connection? VistA data is almost always stored as ^ delimited pieces (e.g., A^B^C) or as Extract ranges (ABCXYZ range 1-3 = ABC). Only in the storage of Chemistry Data in the Lab Package do we get a sub-piece: A^B^C1!C2!C3.

Thanks to Charlie Holland for hosting! It's a good excuse to reflect on how I manage my notes, which is something I'm really interested in. * ⚓ James Cherti ☛ Fixing_Emacs_Dired_Defaults:_Settings_for_Better_File Management⠀⇛ This article presents a set of Emacs Dired configuration changes to enhance file management. The configurations sort directories before files for easier navigation, hide dotfiles, reduce unnecessary confirmation prompts, prevent UI lockups caused by network latency, among other improvements. Each configuration explains the behavior of the relevant setting, its benefits, and its tradeoffs, making it easier to determine which changes are appropriate. o § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ # ⚓ Leon Mika ☛ Vibelog:_MD_Treatment_-_Trying_Out_Pi_and_Kimi k3⠀⇛ I’m moving markdown files from an Obsidian vault to a private Hugo site, and I needed something that did text transformations. And these were text transformations that would’ve been… well, not difficult to automate, but annoying to automate. The transformations themselves would be easy, it’s just knowing where to apply them. Context is important, and I was not confident that a simple pattern matcher would’ve picked up or applied the transformations correctly. # ⚓ [Old] Charalampos Kardaris ☛ My_comments_run_on_email⠀⇛ Doing so in a static blog poses a big challenge. There is no actual server running that can handle requests and process data. That means that you do not have the necessary infrastructure for user accounts. The readers cannot log in and send their comments and there is no straightforward way to take those comments and automatically post them online. Another method is therefore needed to receive the comments and provide them as input to the static site generator, in my case jekyll. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ A_lot_of_what_I’ve_learned,_I’ve learned_from_open_web⠀⇛ I got access to [Internet] (through one of those 56K modems that cried like it was tortured every time we connected to the high way of [Internet]) when I was maybe 10 years old, back in the 1990s. I grew up with three excellent sources of open knowledge: school, library and the [Internet]. I’ve learned so much over the years from the [Internet], thanks to other people who shared that information in open, public websites and discussion forums. Finnish programming forums like Ohjelmointiputka and Mureakuha were instrumental in my early years of learning programming and later on, Stack Overflow and various blogs continued my learning journey. o § Digital Sovereignty⠀➾ # ⚓ Politico ☛ Flipping_the_kill_switch:_I_survived_72_hours without_US_tech⠀⇛ The first thing I noticed when I gave up American technology was the silence. My phone usually starts up before I get out of bed, buzzing every few minutes throughout the day with calls, messages, headlines, calendar reminders and social media alerts. It’s a constant pulse that averages nearly 200 iPhone notifications on weekends and twice as many Monday-to-Friday. But on this warm mid-summer Sunday, my life was on an unlikely version of mute. After years of reporting on Europe’s push to wean itself off U.S. tech giants and cultivate homegrown alternatives, I had decided to test my own daily habit by cutting myself off from using any American technology for 72 hours. o § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ # ⚓ SneakerWeb ☛ sneakerweb⠀⇛ Instead, websites are stored directly on user devices, and transferred between them through the ultimate fallback infrastructure: physical storage media. # ⚓ Jeff Geerling ☛ Before_NTP_there_were_Time_and_Daytime⠀⇛ In building an NTP time demo on old Macs for VCF Midwest, I came across RFC 867 and RFC 868, for the 'Daytime' and 'Time' Protocols, respectively. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1349 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/31/Games_New_Steam_Games_Playable_on_the_Steam_Deck_Avoidance_of_S.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/31/Games_New_Steam_Games_Playable_on_the_Steam_Deck_Avoidance_of_S.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games, New Steam Games Playable on the Steam Deck, Avoidance of Slop, Fakes, Leaks and Theft⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 31, 2026 * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ New_Steam_Games_Playable_on_the_Steam_Deck,_with Resonance:_A_Plague_Tale_Legacy,_and_Smack_Talk_-_2026-08-29_Edition⠀⇛ Between 2026-08-22 and 2026-08-29 we selected 15 newly released games that are rated as Verified or Playable on the Steam Deck, and meeting specific criteria in terms of user ratings.

Pick hardware with decent Linux support and the essentials will usually fall into place right away, which makes it tempting to think laptop compatibility has finally become a mostly solved problem. That confidence starts to wobble once you move past the basics. Modern laptops pile all kinds of tightly integrated extras onto their core hardware, and Linux support for those features can vary wildly from one model to another. A machine can be completely normal for everyday work while a handful of the features you paid extra for remain flaky, limited, or simply unavailable.

It has an incredible display, a usable Intel processor, touch input, a detachable keyboard, and a modest 128GB of storage. Yet Windows 10 had languished on version 1803 for years, while Microsoft says it's too old to update to Windows 11. Linux is notoriously difficult to get working adequately on tablets, and attempting it on a niche Samsung model felt like I was deliberately choosing Linux on hard mode. Instead of dragging Windows through years of updates towards an OS it couldn’t run anyway, I downloaded Fedora Workstation 44. Its live environment instantly recognized most of the hardware features, and it almost seemed too easy. But as I found out, all the things that make up a tablet were not Linux-friendly at all.

My versions now reported at the footer are: Core (v6.4.3), FTL (v6.7) and Web (v6.6). Things generally have their own tags now between the FTL software, the Core and the Web.

Initially [Throaty Mumbo] was going to make a SNES CD add-on to match that console’s initial prototype, but doing it for the NES seemed more fun. Obviously, since the NES is quite limited hardware-wise it was always going to be a struggle, even if the original front- loading NES conveniently has a mostly unused expansion slot. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Get_Your_Monitor_Transmitting_VHF_With_A_Browser_Tool⠀⇛ The concept is straightforward—[Efe]’s tool manipulates pixel clocks in order to create spurious transmissions from your computer’s graphics hardware. The math pencils out pretty easily—multiply the horizontal resolution by the vertical resolution by the refresh rate, while paying attention to the precise timing of the video standard your monitor is using, and you’ve got your transmission frequency. For example, for a screen displaying 1080p at 60 Hz, with the CEA-861 timing standard, your horizontal and vertical resolutions are 2200 and 1125 respectively when paying attention to the requisite blanking intervals. Multiply those by 60 hz, and you’ll find you’re creating a signal at 148.500 MHz. Leverage this by displaying the right pattern of black and white pixels to maximise changes in voltage state on the HDMI or DisplayPort lines, and you might create a strong enough signal that you can actually pick something up. [Efe] created a tool to display these patterns to send simple Morse code messages over VHF just by flickering your screen just right. * ⚓ Matt Godbolt ☛ Recreating_a_2010_Experiment_—_Matt_Godbolt’s_blog⠀⇛ I was trying to replicate this at home but sadly Google no longer supports non-JS browsers like lynx (I guess I could find another one that does?). But I did see that DuckDuckGo has a “lite” mode. After an enormous amount of fiddling I was able to recreate something similar: [...] * ⚓ Ken Shirriff ☛ Cores_in_space:_The_core_memory_module_from_a_1980 Spacelab_computer⠀⇛ Spacelab was a reusable laboratory that could be carried in the Space Shuttle's cargo bay, providing lab space for astronauts and experiments. Because Spacelab was a European project, it used a French-built minicomputer, the Mitra 125 MS,2 rather than the Shuttle's main computers, IBM-built AP-101 systems. For storage, the Spacelab computer contained 128 kilobytes of RAM. Rather than silicon memory, the computer used magnetic core memory, with each bit stored in a tiny ferrite ring. In this article, I take a close look at this computer's core memory system. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ The_Mactini:_A_Computer_That_Does_Almost_Nothing⠀⇛ Recently [Tucker Osman] brought to life what once was just a meme created by the BBC as it poked fun at Apple’s push for ever smaller devices that also dropped many features along the path towards questionable innovation. This ‘Mactini’ was a super-small laptop, with just a single button that did everything, befitting the overpriced more-money-than-sense status symbol vibe that [Jony Ive] brought to Apple. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1858 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/31/OpenShot_4_0_Open_Source_Video_Editor_Officially_Released_Here_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/31/OpenShot_4_0_Open_Source_Video_Editor_Officially_Released_Here_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ OpenShot 4.0 Open-Source Video Editor Officially Released, Here’s What’s New⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Aug 31, 2026, updated Aug 31, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇OpenShot_4.0⦈_ Coming five months after the OpenShot 3.5 series, the OpenShot 4.0 release introduces a new Recording View with a dedicated audio recording dock for screen, webcam, and audio capture, screen/webcam recording support for Linux on Wayland via desktop portals, and live multi-source recording with timeline previews while recording.

That was the mercy of it. Not the volume, which was ridiculous. The terminal had unfolded a red sermon of templates, candidates, expected tokens, instantiated types, and one complaint so far downstream from the visible mistake that it seemed to have wandered in from another jurisdiction. The useful sentence was almost hidden inside the noise: candidate template ignored; constraints not satisfied. Underneath the whole performance, the refusal was local. Here. This expression. This call. This promise the program could not make real in the form I had written. * ⚓ Chris Maiorana ☛ Don't_go_bankrupt,_go_local_-_Chris_Maiorana⠀⇛ This reminded me of something I’ve been experimenting with lately. Instead of updating my config, I’m trying out directory-local variables per project. Having local configurations in a project avoids the extra cogitation of worrying about conflicts with other file types or projects down the line. I like this. Also makes settings easier to transfer to a similar project in the future. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Panoramic_Photography_With_A_Linear_Scanner⠀⇛ [Philo]’s proof of concept was a smartphone camera set on a chair and rotated around a room. Some software grabbed a single column of pixels as it moved and stitched them all together to form an image. This came out well enough that the idea was refined a few times, but it wasn’t until a single-line digital camera meant for imaging assembly lines was found that this really took off. Using the camera and some custom software, [Philo] was eventually able to take some of the longest panoramic images we’ve seen, using things like railways and boats as the track the camera rides on, with accelerometer data to help stabilize the image. * ⚓ [Old] Charalampos Kardaris ☛ std::cout_«_“Goodbye_Meeting_C++._Hello C++_Community.”;⠀⇛ I have been working with C++ throughout my still-young software engineering career. Until now, I had not had any in-person contact with the C++ community. That has now changed. During the past three days, and for the first time, I attended a C++ conference. Having no prior reference for such an event, I did not have any outright expectations. I approached the event with an open mind and a curious spirit, diving right in. * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ [R]_Understanding_position_dodge()_and_position_dodge2() in_ggplot2⠀⇛ o ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Thinking_inside_the_box:_random_0.2.7_on CRAN:_Maintenance⠀⇛ Another pure maintenance release of the random package for truly (hardware-based) random numbers as provided by random.org is now on CRAN. The random package provides true (physical) random number from sampling atmospheric noise. One possible use case is to seed an (algorithmic) quasi-random number generator for genuine unpredictability. o ⚓ Zhenguo Zhang ☛ [R]_Understanding_position_dodge()_and position_dodge2()_in_ggplot2⠀⇛ In ggplot2, when displaying grouped data along categorical axes (such as grouped bar charts, boxplots, or error bars), horizontal dodging is used to prevent elements from overlapping at each categorical position. ggplot2 provides two primary dodging position functions: position_dodge() and position_dodge2(). In this post, we will explore: [...] * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Feris Creations ☛ The_Move_to_Python_3_Begins!_|_EVE_Online⠀⇛ EVE continues to evolve, as a part of the EVE Evolved initiative, and it is time to cast the spotlight on the code itself! Underneath every gate jump, market order, and fleet fight in EVE Online, there is a very large amount of Python. It has run New Eden for more than two decades and now begins its transition to Python 3. For you, that means better tools to fix bugs sooner, room for new features, and a faster EVE over time. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2061 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/31/Radxa_Linkr_and_Radxa_C201_With_GNU_Linux.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/31/Radxa_Linkr_and_Radxa_C201_With_GNU_Linux.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Radxa Linkr and Radxa C201 With GNU/ Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 31, 2026 * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Radxa_Linkr_–_A_USB_drive-sized_IP_KVM_with_USB-C, Ethernet,_and_WiFi_support⠀⇛ Radxa Linkr is a compact, USB flash drive-sized IP KVM that connects to the target through HDMI and USB for video, keyboard, and mouse emulation. The user can control it over USB-C, Ethernet, or WiFi client/access point, even before the OS is booted. The device does not require any specific apps, since all you need is a web browser. The company also highlights support for Tailscale VPN, two-factor authentication, and  Hey Hi (AI) agents such as OpenClaw and Hermes. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Radxa_C201_exposes_dual_2.5GbE,_NVMe_and_serial_I/O_for VMARC-Q9075⠀⇛ Radxa has recently published additional hardware details for the C201, a 120 × 120mm carrier board designed for its compute module based on Qualcomm’s Dragonwing IQ-9075 platform. The board provides access to the module’s high-speed interfaces through dual 2.5GbE, NVMe storage, camera support, as well as RS-232, RS-485, and CAN bus connectivity. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2105 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/31/Review_The_littlest_web_server.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/08/31/Review_The_littlest_web_server.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Review: The littlest web server⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 31, 2026 Quoting: DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD. — I don't believe I would go so far as to suggest most people interested in hosting their own websites take this approach. It's a bit on the technical side and self-limiting. The Pico is not well suited to high-traffic, serving large files, or offering server-side scripting. The Pico is quite unsuited for hosting a forum, a picture gallery, or streaming home videos. At the same time, I do think this experiment shows what is possible with five pages of Python code and a minimal computing device which costs less than $10 USD. While using no JavaScript, no cookies, no server-side coding, no CSS, no tracking, and no signed certificates I was able to craft a simple website in about twenty minutes that provides links, a blog-like news feed, and an RSS feed. The site is responsive to different screen sizes and it obeys the browser's light/dark theme. It's simple by modern standards, but when we consider that the pages are mostly less than 3,000 bytes while many modern websites will load twenty times that data just for JavaScript functions, I think simple might be a step in the right direction. My little Pico server is a demonstration that we can share information on the Web without requiring powerful servers, massive data centres, pop-up ads, login pages, tracking, comment sections full of posts from bots, or browsers that consume over a gigabyte of RAM. This site requires a single sub-$10 part, a few lines of code, and either a USB cable or four rechargeable batteries. (Yes, the Pico can run on battery power for hours, serving pages with no wires attached.) The site displays almost equally well in console-based text browsers as in Firefox. In a world that tends to assume everyone has high speed Internet access, 16GB of RAM, and hex-core processors, maybe we could all use some clean, simple options to remind us that there are more efficient solutions. Anyone who would like to try a similar experiment can find Raspberry Pi Pico W devices through Raspberry Pi or PiShop. The code I used to construct my little corner of the World Wide Web can be found on Codeberg.
