A minor fork of LibreELEC, it pares the operating system back to the components required for media playback, providing an appliance-style environment rather than a general-purpose desktop. It targets ARM hardware and supports both manufacturer-backed devices and a broad range of generic Amlogic systems. CoreELEC can be run from removable media, allowing the existing Android installation on many devices to remain intact. This is free and open source software.

Even the mailing lists have_somewhat_of_a_flamewar in the aftermath of a toxic GR seeking to rubberstamp plagiarism and rendering unpaid volunteers "auditors of botspam" "Note Lucas' footnote," someone has told us, as "he endorses slop and mixes slop into the output so the output he cites cannot be trusted..." "But it looks like over 1/3 of (allowed) voting members are very strongly opposed to the direction Debian is forcing the project. It's another systemd- like incident. This affects Ubuntu (meh) and Linux Mint (a big deal) plus Kali and dozens of other important distros and many hundreds of not so important projects." It'll be hard if not impossible to dissect and remove slop. The packages will become slop-ware. "Like with systemd," we've been told, "ad hominem is used against anyone speaking up."

The licensing and pricing changes are no longer a surprise; the financial modeling has likely been run multiple times, and in many organizations, the move has been deferred rather than avoided. The question isn’t whether to look at alternatives, but what, when, and how to fund it. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ LLM_quantization_guide:_How_to_do_it,_and_how_it_helps [Ed: Red Hat is only pushing slop, not Linux]⠀⇛ Model sizes have roughly_doubled_every_year (see figure 1), and GPU memory hasn't come close to keeping up. So when a new frontier open_model is released, how do you actually deploy it to serve one user, or perhaps one thousand at a time, on hardware you can realistically get your hands on? * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Developing_LLM_guardrail_configs_locally_with_NeMo_Guardrails [Ed: Obsessing over slop to participate in the pyramid scheme]⠀⇛ Large language models are powerful, but deploying them in production means thinking about risks like prompt injection, toxicity, PII leakage, and more. To address this, Red Hat has partnered with NVIDIA to develop and support NeMo_Guardrails, an enterprise-ready open source framework that lets you add programmable safety rails to any LLM application. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Orchestrate_production_RAG_with_OpenShift_AI [Ed: Rebranding everything as "AI", as IBM wants to fake being relevant]⠀⇛ In the previous_post_in_this_series, we built a streaming retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline that parses, chunks, embeds, and writes to Milvus in a single Ray Data script. It works well. But it is a monolithic script. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ 5_ways_to_augment_security_risk_management_in_the_AI era [Ed: IBM Red Hat perpetuating this "AI era" lie; this is a corrupt company run by a parent company that engages in financial fraud and falls deep into debt]⠀⇛ Consider IBM's X-Force Threat Intelligence Index 2026, where researchers found that scanning for vulnerable software is a common attack vector–second only to exploiting incorrectly configured access controls. With powerful AI models exposing identification of new vulnerabilities, manual remediation steps can no longer keep pace with exploitation speed. This is where automation can uniquely strengthen overall defenses and limit the impact of vulnerabilities on IT operations.  * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ How_Ask_Red_Hat_earns_trust_in_enterprise_AI troubleshooting [Ed: Red Hat throwing chatbots at people instead of real support, more enshittification by IBM]⠀⇛ This is the design problem Ask Red Hat was built to solve.  * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Automate_AI_red_teaming:_Large_language_model_risk identification_and_mitigation [Ed: Red Hat is shilling slop, as usual]⠀⇛ To guard against adversarial queries, teams typically start with a 2-layer defense combining safety alignment baked into the model weights and a tailored system prompt outlining the do’s and the don’ts. Though teams can layer on secondary defenses (the focus of our next post), any proposed risk mitigation strategy requires empirical evaluation to verify its actual performance. This is a complex undertaking as adversarial vectors constantly evolve and generic evaluation benchmarks may not align with enterprise-specific policies. This is why we created an ART pipeline that can be tailored to more specific needs. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Red_Hat_OpenShift_autoscaling_using_MachineSet_autoscaler with_KEDA [Ed: Not slop, for a change]⠀⇛ There are different solutions for scaling your Red Hat OpenShift compute infrastructure. In our previous article, we demonstrated Cluster Autoscaler, the built-in, Kubernetes-native approach. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 603 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/02/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/02/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 02, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇microphone⦈_ * ⚓ PocketSphinx_-_speaker-independent_continuous_speech_recognition engine⠀⇛ PocketSphinx is a compact, speaker-independent continuous speech recognition engine originating from Carnegie Mellon University’s CMU Sphinx work. Unlike newer neural speech recognition systems that depend on large models and substantial computational resources, PocketSphinx uses established statistical speech recognition techniques whose relatively modest resource requirements remain useful for embedded applications, offline command recognition, constrained hardware and specialised recognition tasks. The project provides both a standalone command-line program and programming interfaces for applications needing direct control of decoding. It can recognise complete utterances, process live audio in speech segments and perform forced alignment against known text. Current PocketSphinx also incorporates functionality that was previously supplied separately by SphinxBase. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Omnom_-_self-hosted_web_content_preservation_service⠀⇛ When you save a web page, Omnom can capture the page as rendered by a browser rather than simply storing its URL. This means dynamic content can be retained along with locally saved multimedia. Multiple snapshots of the same URL can be kept, with summary and comparison views helping you see how a page has changed over time. Omnom also functions as an RSS reader and can follow ActivityPub streams. Its web interface supports multiple users, while flexible filtering can narrow stored content by date, text, tags, users, domains and URLs. Browser extensions are available for Firefox and Chromium-based browsers. Omnom can be installed from a single binary or deployed using Docker. Authentication options include one-time login tokens, OAuth and trusted remote-user headers, while administrators also have access to command-line management functions. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Barcoder_–_barcode_and_QR_code_generator⠀⇛ Barcoder is a graphical utility for generating one-dimensional barcodes and two-dimensional codes from text. Its workflow is deliberately straightforward: enter a value, select the required symbology and the application immediately renders a preview that can be saved for printing, labelling or use in other documents. The interface is built with GTK 4 and libadwaita and is designed to remain practical on smaller screens. Barcode generation is performed locally with the rxing library. Input is checked against the requirements of the selected code type, with generation failures presented in the interface rather than silently producing an unusable result. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ jsonrepair_-_repair_invalid_JSON_documents⠀⇛ jsonrepair repairs invalid JSON documents. It can correct many common syntax problems automatically, making malformed or incomplete JSON usable without manually locating and fixing every error. The software is available both as a library and a command-line utility. It also provides a streaming implementation for processing very large documents without loading the entire input into memory. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Aliza_MS_–_medical_imaging_and_DICOM_viewer⠀⇛ Aliza MS is a medical imaging and DICOM viewer designed for examining clinical imaging studies on the desktop. Its workflow centres on a DICOM scanner: users can open a directory containing DICOM files or a DICOMDIR file, select one or more series, and load them into the viewer. Directories can also be opened with drag-and-drop. It supports both conventional and time-resolved datasets, with tools for navigating and analysing studies in multiple dimensions. The project provides native Linux builds and can also be built from source on Linux. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ whisper.cpp_-_implementation_of_OpenAI's_Whisper_automatic_speech recognition_model⠀⇛ The project is designed for efficient local inference without requiring the original Python and PyTorch software stack, making Whisper practical on systems ranging from conventional Linux desktops and servers to Raspberry Pi boards, mobile devices and WebAssembly environments. Its implementation builds on ggml and places considerable emphasis on portability, low runtime overhead and hardware-specific acceleration. Users can run transcription entirely on the CPU or take advantage of several GPU and accelerator backends. Models are converted to ggml format, with quantization available when reduced memory consumption and storage requirements are important. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Kodaskanna_–_multi-format_1D/2D_code_scanner⠀⇛ The application focuses on image-based input and is not tied to a camera. It can run as a standalone program or be invoked through KDE desktop integrations. Code recognition is handled by ZXing-C++, while the current codebase uses Qt 6 and KDE Frameworks 6. Kodaskanna’s broader design goal is to act as a reusable component in workflows that need machine-readable data supplied by the user. The project envisages extensible input sources and reusable validation or preview components, with the scanner usable either in-process or out-of-process. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Lap_-_local-first_desktop_photo_manager⠀⇛ Lap includes tools for finding duplicate and visually similar photographs, comparing images in a four-pane viewer, and culling large collections. It recognises Apple Live Photos and Android Motion Photos and can keep RAW files paired with matching JPEG or HEIC companions. Basic editing includes cropping, rotation, resizing and image adjustments. There is broad support for photographic, RAW and video formats, while local AI facilities provide text-based image search, similarity matching, automatic subjects and face clustering. These operations run locally rather than uploading photographs to an external service. Lap uses SQLite for its catalogue and is built with Tauri, Rust and Vue. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Readeck_-_self-hosted_read-it-later_application⠀⇛ Bookmarks can be organised with labels, favourites, archives and collections. Full-text search helps locate saved material, while highlighting and annotation let you mark important passages. Readeck handles conventional articles as well as pages focused on images or videos. A browser extension is available for quickly saving pages from Firefox and Chromium-based browsers. Readeck also supports EPUB export and provides an OPDS catalogue, making saved material accessible from compatible e-readers and reading applications. The software uses SQLite by default and is designed to be straightforward to self-host. It is distributed as a single binary and is also available as a container image for Docker or Podman. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Color_Picker_for_COSMIC_-_color_utility_for_COSMIC_desktop⠀⇛ It follows the desktop’s native visual language through libcosmic and provides a focused workspace for examining colours without relying on a browser-based tool. The application is a third-party project rather than an official COSMIC component. Its interface can accommodate several colour representations at the same time, which makes it useful when translating colours between design, graphics, and development workflows. Screen colour selection uses the desktop portal infrastructure, so the application works with modern Wayland security boundaries rather than requiring unrestricted access to the display. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ FunASR_-_end-to-end_speech_recognition_toolkit⠀⇛ FunASR is an end-to-end speech recognition toolkit. It provides tools for building, training and deploying speech-processing systems for offline, streaming and edge use. The project brings together automatic speech recognition, voice activity detection, punctuation restoration, speaker diarization, emotion recognition and audio-event detection within a common framework. It supports a range of model families, including Fun-ASR-Nano, SenseVoice, Paraformer and integrations for other speech models, with deployment options spanning local CPU or GPU inference, WebSocket streaming and API-based serving. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ OTree_-_terminal_user_interface_for_viewing_structured_data⠀⇛ OTree is a terminal user interface for viewing structured data as an interactive tree. It supports JSON, YAML, TOML and XML files, making deeply nested documents easier to explore from the terminal. The interface combines a tree overview with a data view and provides navigation, filtering, syntax highlighting and mouse support. Its colours and key bindings can be customised through a configuration file. This is free and open source software. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠠⠤⠄⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡠⠖⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠢⢄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⢀⣠⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⡄⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⢠⢸⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡏⠉⣵⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⡄⡄⠀⡇⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⡆⠀⠀⠀⠘⢸⢠⠸⠀⠀⠀⠃⠃⡄⡄⠀⠀⠀⢸⠸⢸⡞⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡌⣧⣤⣽⢣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢳⡇⡇⠇⡇⠀⠀⠀⢠⢸⠘⠐⠀⠀⠀⠄⡇⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⢿⣿⡿⣸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠑⡒⠊⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠓⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠜⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⠄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠤⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠑⠂⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠐⠊⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 920 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/02/Free_Software_Web_and_LibreOffice.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/02/Free_Software_Web_and_LibreOffice.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free Software, Web, and LibreOffice⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 02, 2026 * ⚓ FSF ☛ August_GNU_Spotlight_with_Amin_Bandali_featuring_eighteen_new_GNU releases:_Emacs,_LibreDWG,_and_more!⠀⇛ Eighteen new GNU releases in the last month (as of August 31, 2026): [...] * ⚓ RTL-SDR ☛ SDR++_IAK:_A_Modified_Version_of_SDR++_Available_on_the Google_Play_Store⠀⇛ SDR++ is a popular general-purpose SDR receiver program, commonly used by RTL-SDR enthusiasts. It works on all platforms, including Android; however, the original author has not expressed interest in officially publishing it on the Google Play Store, so sideloading the APK has been the only way to get it on Android. * ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ gaussfacts_0.0.4_on_CRAN:_New_Feature⠀⇛ Another new release of the gaussfacts package arrived on CRAN. This follows a recent one a good week ago, which had been the first in pretty much exactly a decade! gaussfacts provides a fortunes-inspired function to display randomly-chosen facts about Carl Friedrich Gauss, based on the collection curated by Mike Cavers via the gaussfacts web site (with an archive.org link it case it vanishes again). Each call of gaussfact() displays another (randomly chosen, or indexed) fact. * § Web Browsers/Web Servers/Feed Readers⠀➾ o ⚓ Matt Birchler ☛ Introducing_Birchfeed,_the_best_RSS_app_that works_in_your_favorite_RSS_app_already⠀⇛ As such, I've built Birchfeed in a way that it complies with all three of those standards. So if the RSS app you use today supports generic connections on those standards, you can use Birchfeed in those apps right now. Not theoretically, literally now. I personally have been using Reader Classic the entire time I've been developing this app as my client on my devices, and it works completely flawlessly. I switched from my previous sync service provider to Birchfeed and genuinely forgot about the change when I was checking my feeds. o ⚓ Kevin McDonald ☛ Let's_Talk_About_Streaming_Data_on_the_Web⠀⇛ “Streaming data” on the web might mean consuming a response as bytes arrive, receiving server events, using a long-lived bidirectional channel, or sharing one connection between independent streams. These workloads have different requirements, but we often reduce the choice to HTTP requests or WebSockets. I want to look at the available options and then experiment with WebTransport. I came at this from gRPC: could WebTransport make client and bidirectional streaming practical in a browser? That question deserves its own follow-up, so I am starting with the transport. o ⚓ Joe Crawford ☛ ArtLung:_I_agree_with_1999-me_about_the_web_~_01 Sep_2026⠀⇛ Here’s what I wrote: "Cross-browser compatibility does NOT mean that everything looks the same everywhere. It means that I have a site which is usable on any browser."

The spicy details of what is now all better can naturally be found in the detailed release notes. Part of the size of these release notes is due to the previous beta release being two years ago, though nightly builds have kept Haiku users appeased in the meantime. The headline features that are new compared to the previous release include the ability to run the Firefox browser and derivatives, QEMU hardware virtualization using the NetBSD Virtual Machine Monitor (NVMM), improved POSIX and hardware compatibility, as well as many bug fixes. Unfortunately 64-bit ARM support still has to wait a bit longer. Naturally, such a joyful new release wouldn’t go unnoticed by [Action Retro], who decided to celebrate by installing this new release on a stack of old laptops that he bought for a dollar each. With system requirements starting at a Pentium II with 256 MB of RAM, it’s very zippy to install and boot on. As [Action Retro] noticed, a fresh install on a random 2000s Asus laptop both WiFi and audio worked out of the box. Wrestling through his e-waste pile of laptops, the functional laptops provided a pretty good experience, making these at least an excellent target for a fresh Haiku install as a daily driver.

Slowly, but surely, we're seeing people getting Linux working on Apple devices. It hasn't been a rapid process (we saw trackpads get added in June, for instance), but it has been progress, and a steady amount at that. Now, a new patch to the Linux kernel would add USB4 and Thunderbolt support for Apple Silicon M1, M2, and M3 devices, and while it's not quite perfect yet, it's a solid start. * ⚓ Linux_Kernel_Patch_Expands_USB4_Support_for_Apple_Silicon_SoCs⠀⇛ The Asahi Linux project development team has long been working on bringing Linux to Apple Silicon MacBooks and desktops, going so far as to show off games on the Arm-powered laptops.

AI coding and bug-fixing have gotten to the point where people maintaining software have to draw a line in the sand: are LLM contributions allowed? And if so, how much is too much? We're seeing that very debate being held among Linux distros. We've only just heard that Debian has given AI code the green light; meanwhile, the Fedora community has been largely unreceptive of the idea. But one thing has held: the creator of the Linux kernel, Linus Torvalds, has allowed people to submit AI-generated code. And recently, he even used AI to fix a Linux bug. And while that holds, people who dislike AI code will likely need to find a compromise if they want to continue using Linux distros. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1747 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/02/MapQuest_Gains_From_Repsecting_Lake_Ontario.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/02/MapQuest_Gains_From_Repsecting_Lake_Ontario.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ MapQuest Gains From Repsecting "Lake Ontario"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 02, 2026 * ⚓ Futurism ☛ Google_Maps_Rival_Surges_In_Popularity_After_It_Refuses_to Rename_Lake_Ontario⠀⇛ As TechCrunch reports, MapQuest’s mobile app has consequently surged in popularity, rising its way to becoming the number one navigation app in all of the US on Apple’s App Store. * ⚓ TechCrunch ☛ MapQuest's_app_surges_to_No._1_in_Navigation_after refusing_to_rename_Lake_Ontario⠀⇛ MapQuest also reached the No. 8 position overall in the U.S. App Store across both apps and games, and it became the No. 1 Navigation app in the United States.

Meaningful consumer choice requires more than the_ability_to_select_a_browser. People should also be able to choose what their browser can do, from the privacy protections it provides to the ways they can customize their experience. A recent Firefox product initiative brings that longstanding policy concern into focus. Firefox is bringing_a_built-in_Ad_Blocker_to_Firefox_for_iOS, giving people an optional way to reduce intrusive ads and ad- related trackers while browsing. The feature uses an EasyList- based filter list and Apple’s WebKit Content Blocker framework. It is off by default and can be enabled or disabled at any time. The feature responds to years of requests from Firefox users on iPhone. It also illustrates a wider policy problem: dominant mobile platforms can determine which privacy and customization tools competing browsers are able to offer. * ⚓ FOSSLinux ☛ What_Is_Servo?_A_Beginner’s_Guide_to_the_Rust-Powered Browser⠀⇛ Servo is a Rust-powered browser engine that just got a major upgrade.

How did we get there? How did this become normal? Sadly, I think it comes from a much more difficult to fight enemy: people stopped to care. They chose comfort and convenience. Writing and maintaining code is hard and thankless. People demand things from you. They are not happy about your choices. In open source, you usually don't even get paid for it. If you are a new developer, you hit a lot of missing documentation, unclear processes, folklore to understand before you can meaningfully contribute. If you've been there a long time, you're tired of explaining the same thing, over and over again, and seeing people making the same wrong assumption and falling in the same trap. I think, collectively, we failed. Building an open source ecosystem that works requires a lot of care. Fixing bugs, writing documentation, helping new developers get started. But, unfortunately, a lot of projects don't do a great job at that (including some of mine, I don't pretend to have a solution here). The sourcecode is big and complicated, the developers are overworked and can't help users and newcomers, sometimes there is some elitism and gatekeeping driving people away. And then, a small group of people is left alone steering the ship. They are the ones who managed to jump all these hoops, and don't even notice how difficult it was to get there, or maybe it was easy when they did it and it became more complicated later on. We built a place where people will rather talk to an LLM than to a fellow human. Because the human will be annoyed by having to reply, could be rude, may not reply at all, or maybe none of these, but the fear that one such thing may happen. We built projects with sourcecode that is complicated to navigate, and didn't provide a map. You have to hire a guide to be safe. And now it turns out LLMs are taking the job of the guides. * ⚓ The Verge ☛ Debian_won’t_ban_AI_code_from_its_Linux_distribution [Ed: LLM slop is not "AI"]⠀⇛ Debian voted to allow developers to use AI tools in their contributions to the Linux distribution’s “development, maintenance, [and] documentation.” The new policy on AI acknowledges that “responsible” use of AI can improve developers’ productivity, and goes on to say, “generative AI is neither exempt from nor subject to special rules beyond the standards already expected of Debian contributors.” ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2013 ╒═══════════════════

Elizabeth" posted an investigation into a string of refrigeration failures at military installations. However, power failures were not the cause. The units, in over a dozen locations, had gone into defrost mode overnight, so the unfortunate food was not just not cold; it was quite warm. The temperature of the deli case on one base was measured at 180º. * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Bluetooth/UWB_board_based_on_nRF52840_offers_10cm accuracy⠀⇛ Makerfabs has showcased an nRF52840 development board combining Bluetooth connectivity with a DW3000-series ultra-wideband radio for ranging and positioning applications. The board includes a 1.3-inch OLED display, dual USB Type-C connections, LiPo battery support, a fuel gauge, and expansion headers, while accompanying Arduino examples cover single- and multi-node UWB ranging. o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ ArmSoM_Sige6_Allwinner_A733_SBC_features_up_to 128GB_soldered-on_eMMC_flash,_16GB_LPDDR5⠀⇛ ArmSoM Sige6 is yet another SBC powered by the Allwinner A733 octa-core SoC, offered in a credit card form factor with up to 128GB soldered-on eMMC flash and up to 16GB LPDDR5. The single board computer features a microSD card slot and an M.2 M-key PCIe 3.0 x2 slot for storage, Gigabit Ethernet (with optional PoE), WiFi 6, and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity, HDMI 2.0 and MIPI DSI display interfaces, a MIPI CSI camera interface, USB 3.0/2.0 ports, a 3.5mm audio jack, a 40-pin GPIO header, and more. o ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Pi-Sky_flight-tracking_dashboard⠀⇛ ADS-B stands for Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast. Most modern aircraft broadcast ADS-B on 1090MHz in short bursts, several times per second, carrying an ICAO hex address (an identification number assigned to a specific aircraft), a callsign (air traffic control identifier for aircraft – for example, RYR3EM), GPS position, altitude, speed, track, vertical rate, and squawk code. However, what is not sent in the broadcast is what type of aircraft it is, where the flight came from, where it’s going, when it departed, or will arrive. o ⚓ RTL-SDR ☛ An_HTML_Browser_Page_that_Uses_Display_Pixel_Clock_EMI Leakage_to_Transmit_VHF_Morse_Code⠀⇛ Thank you to Efe (TA1EEI) for writing in and sharing an HTML web tool he created that uses a PC monitor to transmit Morse code. The tool works by modulating the monitor's pixel clocks to intentionally generate EMI leakage in the form of a Morse code signal. It transmits at 148.5 MHz. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ PETG:_The_PLA_Filament_Alternative_That_Just_Works⠀⇛ A typical response to the previous article on why PLA filament is so darn brittle. This has led some people to not use PLA filament at all, while others promote using PLA only for prototyping and throw-away parts, especially in light of PLA being compostable under the right conditions. For many mechanical parts, people turn to PETG. Much like the PET polymer used for everything from food containers to drink bottles, PETG is durable, more resistant to degradation through mechanisms like hydrolysis and its filament form doesn’t need to be coddled like PLA does. PETG, on the other hand, tends to come from crude oil and shrugs at industrial composting conditions. In terms of durability, degradation mechanisms and recyclability, is PETG the basic FDM filament which we should all just be using? o ⚓ Wouter Groeneveld ☛ Bring_Back_The_Noise_With_HDD_Synth⠀⇛ The true retro enthusiast—the real appreciator of smelly electronic components that go beep—will want to hear that beep. Not just a beep, but a bzzzzzkkrrrttttt tzk tzk tzk BEEP: your classic spin-up sound when these mechanical drives start spinning. Thankfully, some retro enthusiasts are prepared to do more than just accept the fact that the noise is gone. Some go as far as building their own expansion card that fully emulates the sound of yore. This is the story of my friend Peter Bridger’s HDD Synth. o ⚓ Jack Baty ☛ Fixing_the_Framework's_Wifi_on_CachyOS_and_Orbi⠀⇛ I spent several hours yesterday trying to get Wifi to remain up on the Framework after installing CachyOS. It was not easy. I had to drag Claude Code in to help. I'd have never been able to find and fix it, otherwise. Flaky Wifi is a commonly-reported problem with the Framework 13. In my case it was related to the Orbi mesh, so I don't know if this helps anyone else, but I'll leave it here, just in case. It's working for me. TL;DR is pin wifi to a 5 GHz BSSID so the 6 GHz band doesn't get in the way. * § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Kev Quirk ☛ Android_Auto_Has_Been_Hammering_My_Phone’s_Battery⠀⇛ The only thing that has really changed from an Android Auto perspective was that I'd got a new car which now used wireless Android Auto instead of having to plug a cable in. After some research, it turns out that wireless Android Auto is an absolute resource hog. o ⚓ Terence Eden ☛ “iT_woRKs_BeTter_in_THe_aPp!!”⠀⇛ I was there in the early days of phone apps. I built stuff for Symbian, BlackBerry, even the bloody Palm Pilot! The central problem with apps has always been that they are hard to update. Every new bit of functionality - or even a new page - needs to be tested on a thousand devices. Once done, it takes an age to distribute to users. The only way to solve that is to have the app dynamically pull in new functionality from a remote resource. At which point, you've reinvented the Web browser! ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2544 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/02/Steam_Client_Now_Supports_HDR_Streaming_on_Steam_Deck_OLED.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/02/Steam_Client_Now_Supports_HDR_Streaming_on_Steam_Deck_OLED.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Steam Client Now Supports HDR Streaming on Steam Deck OLED⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Sep 02, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Steam_Client⦈_ The new stable Steam Client update for September 1st, 2026, is here to introduce support for HDR streaming on Steam Deck OLED via Remote Play, improve video color range on all platforms during Remote Play, and add support for changing accounts while a game is running.

Logitech MX Master as my daily mouse for around six years. After all this time, the mouse is still working perfectly. * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ PHP_Cheatsheet⠀⇛ PHP 8 quick reference for syntax, arrays, functions, classes, request data, files, JSON, exceptions, CLI commands, Composer, configuration, and PHP-FPM. * ⚓ Jon_Chiappetta:_The_Monkey-in-the-Middle_Solution_Revisited_–_VPN_Style Proxy_–_LAN==2.5gbps_&&_WAN==1.5gbps⠀⇛ So a little while back I upgraded all my lan components to 2.5gbps and I recently upgraded my wan to 1.5gbps and I wanted to tune up both the VPN solution I had previously made as well as the long since passed Proxy solution. * ⚓ OSTechNix ☛ Self-Host_n8n_Locally_on_Ubuntu_26.04_with_Docker_Compose⠀⇛ For this walkthrough, we will be using a freshly installed Ubuntu 26.04 LTS virtual machine. There is no domain, no VPS, and no production workload involved. Our main objective is simply to build a functional self-hosted n8n environment, understand how its components fit together, and learn what is involved in operating it. * ⚓ TecMint ☛ 8_chattr_Commands_to_Make_Files_Immutable_and_Prevent_Changes in_Linux⠀⇛ The chattr command lets you set and unset filesystem-level attributes on files and directories. These attributes are enforced at a lower level than traditional Unix permissions, giving you an additional layer of protection. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3188 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/02/Tor_Browser_15_0_21_and_Mozilla_Blocks_Ads_While_Pushing_Its_Ow.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/02/Tor_Browser_15_0_21_and_Mozilla_Blocks_Ads_While_Pushing_Its_Ow.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Tor Browser 15.0.21 and Mozilla Blocks Ads While Pushing Its Own Ads⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 02, 2026 * ⚓ Tor ☛ New_Release:_Tor_Browser_15.0.21_|_The_Tor_Project⠀⇛ This version includes important security updates to Firefox. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Firefox_helps_iPhone_users_bypass_ads_on_web_sites while_making_money_showing_its_own_ads⠀⇛ After several weeks of anticipation, Mozilla has started rolling out ad blocking to the iOS version of its popular browser, but you can still expect to see ads on Mozilla's own pages, including the new tab page. The org officially rolled out the new native ad blocking feature for iOS Firefox on Tuesday, moving it out of the experimental phase, while explaining that it had to rethink its desire to give users control over their web experience on iOS due to differences in architecture between it and other OSes. * ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Introducing_Ad_Blocker_for_Firefox_on_iOS:_More_Control, Fewer_Distractions [Ed: Mozilla itself keeps pushing ads though (and spying)]⠀⇛ There’s only so much room on your screen.

The game uses Easy Anti-Cheat which is currently enabled for Linux, but they plan to disable it - making it another game that will no longer be playable across Linux Desktop, Steam Deck and Steam Machine. * ⚓ For_Honor_“will_no_longer_be_playable_on_Steam_Deck”_in_new_update_as devs_announce_end_of_Linux_support⠀⇛ Steam Deck users running its native operating system (SteamOS) will lose access to For Honor when Ranked Season 0 launches on September 10. The same can be said for Valve’s new Steam Machine, as the cubed mini PC also ships with SteamOS by default. The lack of a Linux-friendly anti-cheat is the reason why, but the devs say they’re open to reopening support in the future. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⡿⣟⣻⣉⣹⣥⡄⢴⣦⣿⡂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠐⢋ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⢟⣋⠹⣡⢫⣼⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣧⡀⡘⡟⣿⣇⣀⣀⡀⣂⠀⠀⠐⠁ ⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠋⠉⡉⣤⡤⢩⣧⢞⣾⠃⢸⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⢻⣿⠙⣿⢭⣭⡤⠀⠀⠀⡄ ⣷⣿⣟⣿⣙⡛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⢿⡿⣾⣃⣿⣯⡟⢹⣼⠃⠀⠘⠛⠛⠀⠉⢸⡄⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣼⢿⠤⠀⠀⠀⠂ ⡤⠩⡿⣿⡏⠓⠺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⡿⠿⠀⣿⣿⣴⣶⣯⠀⠀⣷⣿⣿⣾⡟⢀⣼⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⢀⣁⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡌⣀⣿⣹⡥⠀⠀⢸⣶ ⠋⠉⠐⠋⠀⠀⠀⢈⠉⣙⣻⠿⠻⢿⣿⣿⣧⣀⠀⢀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣀⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠷⠄⠀⠽⣿⣿⠟⠀⣼⠏⠀⠀⡀⢐⢻⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠻⢿⡟⡿⠀⠀⢀⣃ ⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⡩⠹⡓⢒⣺⣿⣏⢉⠁⠀⠀⠐⢠⣜⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣭⣃⣠⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⢘⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢀⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛ ⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠐⣶⣧⣿⡙⠛⠟⠚⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⡿⣿⣽⣿⡿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣷⣿⣟⣿⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢿⠿⢿⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⢀⠚⠻⣿⣷⠀⣿⢿⣿⣿⡗⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣠⣤⣴ ⠿⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⡂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡿⢿⡇⣼⣿⠻⣇⠛⠀⠘⣿⠻⠟⠛⠉⠉⡻⠟⣿⠯⠸⣿⡥⠆⡈⢃⢄⣀⠛⠁⡄⣀⣀⠀⠀⣇⠀⠛⡿⣄⣯⣽⣿⣿⣷⣲⣷⣷⣯⣀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠖⠤⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠚⠁⠀⠙⣚⣛⣾⡰⠀⠀⠌⡤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠌⠀⢀⠀⠀⡀⠈⢁⠠⠟⠀⢋⣽⣤⡐⠀⠈⠋⠀⠈⠈⢲⠿⠟⢿⡿⡿⣿⣿⡋⣿⣿⡿⣷⣶⣼⣿⣿⡿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⢦⡄⠂⠀⠀⣧⣀⣀⣾⠏⠒⠀⢐⠆⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⢤⠀⠀⠀⠐⡀⠈⢮⠿⠀⠀⢀⣠⣦⡀⠀⢀⢈⠠⠚⣿⡟⠗⡉⣷⠐⠋⠉⠉⠙⠟⣻⣫⣅⢀⢿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠁⣰⣿⠟⣿⡟⠀⠀⢀⣀⡀⢀⣠⣀⡤⠠⠤⠤⠀⠀⣤⣤⣬⣁⣠⠗⠀⢠⣥⣦⣧⢹⣿⠏⠋⢬⣄⡌⢴⡤⠂⠀⡃⢛⣭⠐⢦⠄⣄⢠⢼⡷⠾⣾⣇⢠ ⣒⣀⣴⣴⣷⣤⠀⠉⠁⠀⢀⣤⡤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠄⠀⠰⠿⠁⠐⡟⢃⡀⢴⣷⣾⣿⣬⣿⣿⡟⠷⠖⢀⣤⣶⣿⣾⡿⣿⣿⡁⠄⠪⢿⣿⣽⡖⠀⠀⣤⠈⠁⣠⣤⣄⠰⠀⡿⠈⠀⢀⠀⠀⢳⣶⣷⣶⣽⣿⡏⢀ ⣿⠻⣻⡟⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣴⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⡛⠛⠋⠔⠋⢸⣿⣿⣿⠈⠻⢿⣥⣴⡲⠀⠩⣿⡆⠀⡠⢡⣴⣶⣿⣷⣷⣼⣾⠤⠘⢭⡻⠐⠀⠨⣋⣩⠈⣉⠵⣧⣼ ⣷⣧⣹⣦⣽⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠫⠟⠷⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣾⣄⠀⠉⠑⠯⠅⠐⠀⠀⢺⡎⠛⠛⠙⠀⣄⠘⢿⣿⣷⣤⣦⡈⠀⠀⠺⠛⢹⣿⣿⣿⠏⢿⡿⢁⣠⠆⡌⣗⢦⣦⢛⠿⣛⡪⣅⢨⣥ ⠮⡌⣛⣻⣿⣿⡿⡃⠀⠀⠀⠠⢖⡂⠀⠀⠘⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⡉⣙⡃⠤⣤⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⠒⠂⠀⠀⠿⠆⠘⣶⢾⣿⣬⣭⣂⡀⠰⢶⣾⣿⣿⠛⠀⣨⠇⠘⣫⣦⡸⠻⣿⡹⡻⠷⣿⣿⣿⣷⣞ ⠒⠄⠰⠿⣿⠟⠅⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢁⣰⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠀⠈⠋⠀⢉⣻⣶⣬⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣭⣭⡆⠻⢗⡒⢫⣭⣍⣹⣤⣈⡋⠛⢛⡤⢊⣠⣤⣤⣼⣿⣓⠀⢈⠀⣬⢶⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠄⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⢃⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⣠⣉⠋⠻⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠐⣀⣼⣿⣿⣗⣹⣦⣐⣻⣦⣿⣿⡿⢻⡇⠀⣴⣶⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⡜⡚⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠈⣍⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠍⠓⠀⠀⠈⠻⠟⠋⠀⠀⢸⣿⠄⡿⢯⣿⣟⢽⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠒⠀⠀⠈⠁⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠟⢿⣷⡀⠈⠉⠐⣛⣭ ⠀⠀⠀⢀⠷⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠻⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣤⣤⡶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠋⠊⣺⣿⣻⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⡚⠛⠀⢀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⢀⠈⢿⣷⡄⠀⠁⠈⠉ ⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠟⠛⣋⣴⣾⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠿⡿⠻⡼⠏⣋⡄⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠂⠠⣮⣿⠀⠀⠈⠌⠉⠁⠀⣸⣷⣈⠙⠉⣷⡄⣚⠯ ⠀⢰⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢩⣋⢿⣿⣷⣠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠋⠀⢀⠘⠙⣿⣷⣷⣀⣤⣄⠁⠙⠶⠒⠒⠂⠀⠀⠛⢟⠻⠀⠀⢸⣷⣿⣖ ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 3316 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 31 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
