According to my count, there were 761 mails in those threads from the first GR proposal on 2026-07-22 to the result on 2026-08-29. Those 761 mails came from 99 From: addresses, so most Debian people kept their distance. Given that according to nm.debian.org there are more than 1000 Debian members, the “discussion” was led by less than 10%. o ⚓ Debian ☛ Re:_Results_for_LLM_usage_in_Debian⠀⇛ I produced¹ another version of the results graph, with all pairwise results and percentages, so that it's easier to read, for example, that the community is split 64%/36% between the winning option and the most popular "ban" option (Debian is created by humans). Or 61%/39% with the most popular "discourage" option. * § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ o ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Canonical_joins_the_Open_Secure_Hey_Hi_(AI)_Alliance [Ed: Not Hey Hi (AI) and not secure, just a slop PR drive for a Ponzi scheme led by a GPU pusher]⠀⇛ Canonical recently joined the 'Linux' Foundation’s Open Secure Hey Hi (AI) Alliance to help make open-source security tools for Hey Hi (AI) systems and autonomous agents. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 212 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.1.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 03, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇colord⦈_ * ⚓ colord_-_manage,_install_and_generate_colour_profiles⠀⇛ colord is a system service for managing, installing and generating colour profiles. It provides a central service that applications can use to associate hardware devices with the appropriate ICC colour profiles, helping maintain consistent colour handling across the desktop. The software runs as a system-activated daemon, starting when a graphical or command-line client needs it rather than running unnecessarily. Applications communicate with the daemon through a D-Bus API, while colord maintains persistent device-to- profile mappings in a database. It can also provide system-wide colour settings that apply across users and sessions. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Open_Source_Alternatives_to_Proprietary_Software⠀⇛ Open source software gives users access to its source code and the freedom to use, study, modify and redistribute the software according to its licence. That does not automatically make every open source program better than a proprietary competitor, but it can provide important advantages. Open source alternatives can reduce dependence on a single vendor, avoid recurring licence fees, provide greater control over data and deployment, and allow software to continue evolving even if its original developer changes direction. Self-hosted software can also offer an alternative to handing data to third-party cloud services. For Linux users, open source software has another obvious attraction: many proprietary applications either offer limited Linux support or do not support Linux at all. The best choice ultimately depends on what you need. Our individual guides examine the available options and highlight the strongest open source alternatives for each product or service. * ⚓ jdaviz_-_interactive_astronomical_data_visualisation_and_analysis tools⠀⇛ jdaviz provides specialised viewers for several forms of astronomical data. Image viewers handle two-dimensional imagery and support operations such as aperture photometry and catalogue exploration. Spectrum viewers work with one- and two- dimensional spectra and provide extraction, measurement and spectral-line fitting facilities. Cube viewers support spectroscopic data cubes and extraction of one-dimensional spectra. Table, scatter and histogram viewers provide additional ways to explore catalogue and tabular data. The application is particularly designed around observational modes from the James Webb Space Telescope, although its data handling is intended to support observations from other astronomical facilities as well. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ aTrain_-_automatically_transcribe_recorded_speech⠀⇛ aTrain is a graphical application for automatically transcribing recorded speech while keeping source audio and resulting text on the user’s own computer. The software is particularly suited to interviews and other research recordings where confidentiality, data protection and later qualitative analysis matter. Transcription uses faster- whisper, while optional speaker detection uses pyannote.audio to associate transcript segments with individual speakers. Alongside its desktop interface, aTrain provides command-line facilities for headless workflows, scripts and automated processing. This is free and open source software. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⢹⣿⡏⠀⠀⣿⣿⡇⠀⠈⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⠁⠀⢹⣿⣿⠀⠀⢹⣿⡏⠀⠀⣿⣿⡇⠀⠈⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⣿⣿⡇⠀⠈⣿⣿⠁⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡟⠉⠉⠂⠀⠚⠛⠛⠀⠀⡛⠛⠓⠀⠀⠛⠛⠃⠂⠐⠛⠛⠃⠐⠘⠛⠛⠒⠂⠚⠛⠛⠀⠀⠛⠛⢓⠂⠐⡛⠛⠓⠂⠒⠛⠛⠓⠐⠚⠛⠛⠂⠐⠚⠛⠛⠀⠂⠛⠛⠓⠀⠐⠛⠛⠃⠀⠘⠛⠛⠂⠀⠈⠉⠉⣿⣿ ⣿⣷⣤⣤⡄⠀⠠⠀⠰⠀⠀⢇⣀⣰⣀⣀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠆⠀⠰⠀⠀⠆⠀⣀⣤⣴⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣦⣄⡇⠀⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠀⠀⠇⠀⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠀⠀⠆⠀⢠⣤⣤⣿⣿ ⣿⡿⠿⠿⠇⠀⠠⠀⠠⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠄⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠠⠀⠀⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠄⠀⠸⠿⠿⣿⣿ ⣿⣏⠀⠀⡀⠀⢀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⡉⣹⢉⣹⣿⣿⡄⠀⢀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⡀⠀⢀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠰⠸⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣏⣿⣀⣹⣀⣸⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠆⠀⠚⠸⠿⠿⠿⠇⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣏⠉⠉⠁⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠉⠈⠈⠉⣵⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣦⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣧⣤⣤⡄⠉⠉⠉⠁⠈⠉⠉⠍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠈⠉⠁⠉⠈⠉⠉⣿⣿ ⣿⣷⣶⣶⡖⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠋⠋⠙⠉⠉⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠐⠒⠓⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠂⠂⠒⠐⠒⠒⠒⠒⢰⣶⣶⣿⣿ ⣿⡿⠛⠛⠃⠀⠠⠀⠠⠀⠀⠇⠀⠰⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⡉⢉⢉⣉⢉⣉⡉⠉⡉⠉⡉⠉⣉⠉⠁⢀⢀⡀⠀⣀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⢀⠀⡀⡀⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠆⠀⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠰⠀⠀⠆⠀⠘⠛⠛⣿⣿ ⣿⣷⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⡆⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣈⣈⣈⣉⣈⣉⣁⣀⣁⣀⣁⣀⣉⣁⡀⣈⣈⣁⣈⣉⣀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠁⠁⠁⠁⠁⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⡅⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⠀⠄⠀⢀⣀⣀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢀⠀⢀⠀⠀⡂⠀⢀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡂⠀⢀⠀⢀⡀⠀⡀⠀⢀⠀⠀⡀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣶⣶⡇⠀⠉⠀⠈⠁⠀⠃⠀⠈⠀⠀⠁⠀⠁⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠽⠪⠇⠘⠝⠪⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠇⠏⠂⠸⠅⠯⠀⠸⠇⠯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠈⠀⠈⠁⠀⠉⠀⠈⠀⠀⠁⠀⢰⣶⣶⣿⣿ ⣿⡟⠛⠛⠓⠀⠒⠀⠐⠂⠂⡒⠒⠒⠐⠐⠂⠐⠒⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⡃⠀⠒⠐⠒⠒⠀⠒⠀⠐⠀⠀⠂⠐⠚⠛⠛⣿⣿ ⣿⣷⣤⣤⡄⠀⠤⠀⠠⠄⠀⠅⠀⠠⠀⠀⠄⠀⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠂⠀⠄⠀⠠⠀⠠⠄⠀⠤⠀⠠⠀⠀⠄⠀⢠⣤⣤⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠿⠿⠇⠀⢀⠀⢀⠀⠀⡄⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢏⠀⠀⡆⠀⢀⢀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠸⠿⠿⣿⣿ ⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠦⡆⡆⡦⠀⠀⠰⠤⡀⢰⠀⡆⢀⡶⢴⢰⣒⡄⡆⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⡀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠈⠀⠈⣼⣿⣿⠋⢛⠉⢹⣿⣿⡄⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⣱⣿⣿⣿⢙⢹⠙⢹⣿⣏⠀⠀⠁⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡟⠉⠉⠁⠀⠉⠀⠈⢿⣟⣿⠉⠭⠉⢹⣿⣿⠇⠀⠈⠀⠀⠁⠀⠠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡤⠀⠀⠁⠀⠈⠀⠀⢿⣿⣋⣿⢩⢹⠉⢹⣿⡟⠀⠀⠁⠀⠈⠉⠉⣿⣿ ⣿⣷⣤⣤⡆⠀⠒⠀⠐⠚⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠒⠂⠐⠂⠂⠒⠀⠰⠈⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠋⠒⠂⠀⠒⠀⠐⠀⠀⠇⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠐⠀⠀⠂⠐⢰⣤⣴⣿⣿ ⣿⡿⠛⠛⠇⠀⠠⠀⠠⠀⠀⠍⠙⠻⠛⠉⠅⠀⠠⠀⠠⠀⠀⠄⠀⠠⠀⠀⠄⠈⠝⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠍⠀⠠⠀⠠⠄⠀⠄⠀⠠⠀⠀⠄⠀⠨⠙⠻⠟⠋⠅⠀⠠⠀⠀⠄⠀⠸⠛⠻⣿⣿ ⣿⣇⣀⣀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⣀⣀⡀⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⣉⣁⣈⠉⠉⣉⣉⡁⠀⠀⣀⣀⡀⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⣂⣀⡀⠀⠀⣀⣀⡀⠀⢀⣀⣀⡀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 356 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 03, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇bookmark⦈_ * ⚓ Faved_-_self-hosted_bookmark_manager⠀⇛ Bookmarks can be arranged using nested tags, allowing structured hierarchies rather than relying on a flat collection of labels. Tags can have colours and descriptions, frequently used tags can be pinned, and an optional rollup lets a parent tag include bookmarks assigned to its children. Faved automatically retrieves page titles, descriptions and preview images, and checks for duplicate bookmarks. Search, filtering and sorting are integrated into the interface, while bulk operations can delete, refetch or tag multiple items at once. The interface offers card, list and table layouts and adapts to desktop and mobile devices. It can also be installed as a Progressive Web App. Browser integration includes a Chrome extension and a lightweight bookmarklet, while Apple Shortcuts provides another way to save links from Apple devices. Existing collections can be imported from major browsers and services including Raindrop.io and Pocket. When self-hosted, data is stored locally using SQLite. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ FerrumPix_-_desktop_photo_manager_and_image_editor⠀⇛ Its viewer offers fullscreen display, slideshows, side-by-side comparison and detailed metadata. Photographic analysis includes a histogram, waveform and RGB parade. The editor goes considerably further than simple adjustments. It offers cropping, resizing, perspective correction, exposure and colour controls, curves, masks, selections, retouching, text, shapes and layers. RAW files are developed from sensor data, with lens corrections available for a large number of lenses. Photoshop files can also be opened with layer information. Batch operations include renaming, conversion, resizing, watermarking and metadata processing. FerrumPix can additionally connect to self-hosted Immich and Nextcloud servers for browsing and transferring photographs. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ K’uychi_-_generate_colour_palettes_from_a_base_tone⠀⇛ Rather than functioning as a conventional screen eyedropper, it starts with a user-selected base colour and generates lighter and darker variants around it. The program uses the OKLab colour space for this process, helping the resulting steps appear more perceptually uniform than simple arithmetic adjustments to RGB values. Its compact GTK and libadwaita interface is designed to fit naturally into the GNOME desktop. The name K’uychi means “rainbow” in Quechua. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ 50_Excellent_GNOME_Shell_Extensions_for_GNOME_50⠀⇛ Fortunately, there’s an awesome range of extensions which add functionality to GNOME Shell. We present our recommended GNOME Shell extensions. They range from docks, application menus and window tiling tools to system monitors, clipboard managers and purely cosmetic enhancements. Some fundamentally alter the way GNOME works; others make one small but useful change. All of the extensions featured here are compatible with GNOME 50 at the time of writing. Naturally, there’s only open source goodness on offer. Extensions can be installed from the GNOME Extensions website using GNOME Shell browser integration. Many are also packaged by Linux distributions. Always check the individual project’s documentation if you encounter installation or compatibility issues. * ⚓ rwx_–_TUI_file_permissions_and_ownership_manager⠀⇛ rwx is an interactive terminal application for inspecting and modifying Unix file permissions and ownership. It presents permission data in a more approachable form than working directly with chmod, chown, and related commands. Users can navigate the filesystem, select a file or directory, and then edit its mode and ownership from a dedicated interface. The program retains the underlying Unix permission model rather than hiding it. This makes it useful both for administrators who already understand symbolic and octal permissions and for users who benefit from seeing those permissions represented visually before applying a change. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Gnuastro_-_manipulate_and_analyse_astronomical_data⠀⇛ The individual programs share a consistent command-line interface, making it easier to combine multiple operations into larger processing pipelines. Gnuastro works extensively with FITS data and provides facilities for examining and modifying FITS extensions and headers, converting data between formats, cropping images, manipulating tables, performing arithmetic and statistical operations, matching catalogues and processing astronomical images. One of its better-known components is NoiseChisel, which detects faint and diffuse structures embedded in noise without relying on the conventional approach of detecting objects above a fixed signal-to-noise threshold. MakeCatalog can subsequently calculate measurements from labelled images. Other components perform convolution, image warping, cosmological calculations and profile generation. Gnuastro is not restricted to its supplied executables. It includes a library for developing custom astronomical software, while BuildProgram simplifies compiling programs against Gnuastro and its dependencies. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ ZFontManager_-_cross-platform_font_manager⠀⇛ A particularly useful feature is font activation and deactivation. Fonts can be temporarily removed from application font menus without uninstalling their files, either individually or in batches. A temporary activation option keeps a font available only until ZFontManager closes. New fonts can be installed by dragging files, directories or ZIP archives into the application, while removed fonts enter a restorable trash area rather than being immediately deleted. For organisation, ZFontManager provides tags, collections, favourites and notes. Search and filtering can narrow the library by name, classification, writing system and variable- font status. Two to four families can be compared side by side. The detail panel exposes individual styles, variable font axes, OpenType features, character maps and font metadata. ZFontManager can also export PNG specimen sheets, font files and library metadata. Library organisation data can be exported and restored separately. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ faster-whisper_-_reimplementation_of_OpenAI's_Whisper⠀⇛ faster-whisper is a reimplementation of OpenAI’s Whisper automatic speech recognition model built around CTranslate2, an inference engine optimized for Transformer models. Its primary aim is to provide Whisper transcription with lower processing times and more efficient memory usage than the original PyTorch implementation while retaining equivalent recognition behaviour. It can run on CPUs or NVIDIA GPUs and supports several computation types, including INT8 quantization for systems where memory consumption is particularly important. The library is aimed at developers who want to incorporate Whisper into Python applications rather than providing a standalone desktop interface. It handles model acquisition, audio decoding, language detection and segmented transcription through a concise Python API. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Schedule_-_kanban-style_planner⠀⇛ Schedule, also known as ThisWeekInMyLife, is a kanban-style planner designed to help organise tasks and activities across a series of customisable columns. Although its original concept centres on planning a week, the columns are not restricted to individual days. You can add, remove, rename and reorder them to create a workflow suited to your own approach. Tasks are represented by cards which can be moved between columns using drag and drop. Cards can contain additional details which can be expanded or collapsed, helping keep the main board uncluttered while retaining useful information. Newly created cards can be opened immediately for editing. Schedule uses GTK 4 and libadwaita, giving it an interface that integrates well with contemporary GNOME desktops. The application supports keyboard, mouse and touch input, and remembers its data locally. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Postmarks_-_self-hosted_bookmark_manager_and_linkblog⠀⇛ The owner can add, edit and delete bookmarks through the web interface after authentication. Existing bookmarks can be imported, and a bookmarklet provides a convenient way to save new links while browsing. ActivityPub integration gives a Postmarks site its own Fediverse presence. The instance can be configured with a username, display name, biography and avatar, allowing other Fediverse users to find and interact with its account. Mastodon profile verification is also supported. Postmarks can be run directly with Node.js or deployed with Docker Compose. Configuration is handled through environment variables, including the public URL, administrator credentials, session secret, listening port and other instance settings. The application uses Express for its web server and SQLite for data storage. Its deliberately personal approach makes it particularly interesting for people who want their bookmarking and link-sharing presence under their own control. This is free and open source software. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣷⣦⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⡀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 678 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/Free_Software_Digital_Sovereignty_and_Standards.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/Free_Software_Digital_Sovereignty_and_Standards.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free Software, Digital Sovereignty, and Standards⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 03, 2026 * ⚓ James Cherti ☛ The_Emacs_security_settings_that_might_silently compromise_your_system⠀⇛ Emacs ships with default settings intended for backward compatibility and convenience over strict security.

This occurred because those services embed the Google Maps API and had not set the region parameter to Canada, a setting that Google’s own documentation encourages developers to apply. This was easily fixable, with Hydro One and the LCBO quickly correcting their maps, and speaks not to a choice by Google but rather to the choices made by those sites themselves. If digital sovereignty is about choice, then choice has to be exercised. Just as businesses and organizations are choosing to host their data in Canada or use Canadian- based services (consider my recent Law Bytes podcast on Gander Social), sites must proactively ensure that the defaults on their services are set to Canada. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 747 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/Games_JSAUX_ONTOS_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/Games_JSAUX_ONTOS_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: JSAUX, ONTOS, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 03, 2026 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ JSAUX_Steam_Machine_E-Ink_and_Pixel_Matrix_panels_get store_pages,_plus_VOIDJOY_SkyLark_S1_Pro_Portable_Controller_revealed_| GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ JSAUX had a few announcements lately including pretty cool looking Steam Machine E-Ink and Pixel Matrix faceplates, along with controllers.

Wireless connectivity from the MCU consists of 2.4GHz Bluetooth 5.0, with supported Bluetooth data rates of 2Mbps, 1Mbps, 500kbps, and 125kbps. o ⚓ Gabriel ☛ Let’s_talk_retro_doodads!⠀⇛ There are days that I enjoy the RG just because of the Game Boy Advance SP nostalgia feels. Opening and closing this thing is so satisfying. One thing I am not a fan of is the analog sticks; I don’t play any games that use them. I mostly play GBA games on it, which the device is most suited for, and some GB and GBC games. The SP has a native 3:2 aspect ratio, so GBC and GB games will have black bars on the sides unless you use some overlay, which I never ever do. As for portability, well, it is very portable, and if it is something you plan to just throw it in your bag, even more so, plus because it is a clamshell, the screen is protected. But if you plan to have it in your pocket, well, compared to something like the TrimUI, it is slightly thicker and bulkier. o ⚓ Eliseo Martelli ☛ Introducing_VyBSD⠀⇛ Consequently, also considering that I’m really enjoying an OpenBSD-based infrastructure for other reasons, I decided to start writing the foundation to create an OpenBSD-based network appliance, equipped with a command- line interface similar to that of VyOS. Obviously, it won’t be completely one-to-one compatible with VyOS, as that is not the goal. My main objective is to have a router appliance with extremely solid networking foundations, guaranteed by the entire OpenBSD network stack, combined with the convenience of being fully configurable via CLI. * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ LightMake_L4_3D_printer_features_four_independent heads_for_simultaneous_or_multi-color_printing_(Crowdfunding)⠀⇛ The LightMake L4 is a desktop 3D printer with four independent printing heads for high-throughput multi- color, multi-material, and batch production. It uses four independently controlled printheads and linear-motor motion instead of conventional belts, allowing users to print four identical models simultaneously, produce complex multi-color parts with minimal purge waste, or combine up to four materials in a single print. o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ DIY_ESP32-P4_weather_station_&_air_quality_monitor connects_to_LoRa_and_ESP-NOW_sensors,_various_weather_APIs⠀⇛ Harald Kreuzer has built an ESP32-P4 weather station and air quality monitor that features a 10.1-inch dashboard display and a built-in Sensirion SEN66 sensor for particulate matter, CO2, VOC, and NOX, and connects to wireless LoRa and ESP-NOW sensors. The project is entirely made of off-the-shelf boards, so no custom hardware is used, and it should be relatively easy to reproduce. It doesn’t require any cloud or user account, although it can connect to a choice of weather Hey Hi (AI) (Open-Meteo, OpenWeatherMap or Visual Crossing) to display weather forecasts. The build is fully documented in a long blog post, so we’ll highlight the key features of the project in this article. o ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Arduino’s_Ubuntu-powered_$299_edge_Hey_Hi_(AI)_board just_sold_out⠀⇛ Arduino's VENTUNO Q went up for pre-order priced from $299. The development board runs Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is built around Qualcomm's Dragonwing IQ8 platform. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Has_FDM_3D_Printing_Hit_Its_Peak?⠀⇛ It’s a fair point to make that the resolution of a consumer FDM printer may be close to its mechanical limit. Techniques such as input shaping and the adoption of better CoreXY mechanisms mean that prints which once might have relied on SLA can be done in FDM. Healthy competition in the marketplace has delivered high quality colour printing, with tool-changing printers being no longer solely the preserve of the professional. He uses the example of a mobile phone to make the point that new machines have less of a wow factor to deliver, as increments have become less grand. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Doubling_Thermal_Printer_Resolution_By_Wiggling⠀⇛ With this mechanism this much cheaper Sears 12 definitely gives the TI-5015 a run for its money, even if as noted by [Danalog] the timing would go off a bit after a longer session, resulting slightly wavy printing. Presumably with the massive cost savings of buying a Sears calculator over a TI one, this was deemed an acceptable trade-off. o ⚓ [Old] PulkoMandy ☛ Unlocking_a_Chromebook⠀⇛ So, the only way is to disassemble the machine, unsolder the flash chip containing the BIOS, and rewrite it with a new firmware. The disassembly is fairly easy, with a few screws to remove and a few clips to unclip. The keyboard has a flat cable long enough that you can easily lift it away and access the connectors to remove it. Then, you have to extract the motherboard from the machine (with a few more things to unplug), because the flash chip we're looking for is on the underside of the motherboard. o ⚓ Arduino ☛ P.A.R._is_a_flip-squisk_display_that_draws_your_pixel art⠀⇛ A “squisk” is a square disc, with one light-colored side and one dark-colored side. Zimm made his squisks by 3D printing the two sides with interlocking channels, so they come together and form one unit. The display is a 37 × 18 grid of those. By flipping them between light and dark sides, it can create a low-resolution raster monochrome image. o ⚓ SQFMI ☛ Getting_Started:_Watchy_Kit_w/_Case_Assembly⠀⇛ Watchy comes pre-loaded with firmware that demonstrates all the basic features. You can also try different watch faces and examples in Arduino. * § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Lee Peterson ☛ The_camera_on_my_phone_didn’t_matter_as_much_as_I thought⠀⇛ These thoughts have me no longer looking at a phone thinking if only I had that better camera, I’m now thinking ergonomics first before anything then the rest is secondary. It makes deciding on a phone so much easier and with my current hand pain I can even consider something like an iPhone 17e if I want smaller and lighter and it takes the stress of the camera completely out of the equation. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1239 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/Linux_drowning_in_ocean_of_slop_sloppy_commits_and_false_report.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/Linux_drowning_in_ocean_of_slop_sloppy_commits_and_false_report.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Linux drowning in ocean of slop (sloppy) commits and false reports, "Linux's strict memory overcommit mode"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 03, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Resonance⦈_ * ⚓ David Revoy ☛ Resonance_-_David_Revoy⠀⇛ * ⚓ Phoronix ☛ Greg_KH_Forewarns_Of_"Rough"_Linux_7.3_Kernel_Cycle_Due_To Continued_Hey_Hi_(AI)_Churn⠀⇛ While Linux 7.3-rc1 only released this week and there are another roughly seven weeks to go until the official kernel release, Linux's second-in-command Greg Kroah-Hartman is already warning that it's likely to be another "rough" kernel cycle given the ongoing noise caused by AI/LLM... * ⚓ Security Boulevard ☛ AI_Helps_Drive_Number_of_Linux_Kernel_CVEs_to_Near 2,000_Per_Release⠀⇛ The situation will get more difficult, he wrote.

That, clearly, is a mere down payment on the flood that is to come. Even so, those early pulls brought in some noteworthy changes, including (but not limited to) a significant reworking of how group scheduling works on multiprocessor systems. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Old-school_calendaring_at_the_command_line_with Remind⠀⇛ Remind is a command-line calendar and alarm program, with an optional Tk-based graphical interface, for Linux and Unix-like operating systems. It has its own scripting language that allows users to create reminders that are difficult (if not impossible) to specify in other calendaring programs. It is wholly unsuitable for use in corporate environments that require calendar sharing and exchanging meeting invitations; however, it may be precisely the calendaring tool for users who prefer the command line and fast, flexible tools that can help keep track of messy schedules. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ An_ongoing_3D-printer_AGPL_violation⠀⇛ At FOSSY 2026, several people from the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC), which organizes the conference, gave a presentation about an ongoing violation of the Affero General Public License version 3 (AGPLv3). Bradley Kühn, Karen Sandler, and Denver Gingerich spoke about different aspects of the violation, which is in regard to 3D-printer software from Bambu Lab, and what is being done to try to provide users with alternatives. One aspect that is particularly interesting is that the circumvention that the company is employing is precisely what the AGPL was written to prevent. [...] Some time ago, 3D printing was invented, which is something that he watched from afar; a breadboard fire when he was an undergraduate convinced him that he should be a software-only person. He is a fan of the 3D-printing culture, and enjoys the talks that come from it, but he does not participate. As part of the license-violation investigation, he and Gingerich did a crash course in the history of 3D-printing, though Gingerich already had much of the background. # ⚓ LWN ☛ Considering_the_OpenMDW_license [Ed: So-called 'Linux' Foundation and IBM (Dolan) using OSI like a private toilet for openwashing purposes and slop]⠀⇛ The open-source world has been struggling for a few years now to understand how to approach large language models (LLMs) and the licensing applied to them. What constitutes "freedom" with respect to a black box filled with numerical weights? The process taken by the Open Source Initiative (OSI) in the development of its Open Source AI Definition was controversial at best, as was its output. Now, the Linux Foundation's Mike Dolan has brought a new license to the OSI for approval. It is called the OpenMDW ("Open Model, Data, and Weights"), and it aims to clarify licensing for the distribution of LLMs and related materials, but consensus is proving hard to find for this license as well. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ A_look_at_the_Quickshell_desktop-component_toolkit⠀⇛ Quickshell is a toolkit for building desktop components, such as toolbars or menus. It uses QML, which is a declarative language for designing GUI applications. Quickshell helps developers create graphical tools for common desktop use cases with a focus on ease of development. It offers a convenient method for writing user interfaces and has been adopted by a number of projects, such as caelestia-shell and DankMaterialShell, that provide desktop environments for minimal window managers like Sway and niri. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ How_to_be_safe_from_quantum_computing [Ed: More quantum hype, scaring people using something that does not exist or barely exists]⠀⇛ Practical quantum computers have been ten years away for the last several decades. Now, however, it's beginning to look as though they will be possible in just a few years. Recent research with obfuscated results demonstrated much lower memory requirements to factor ECDSA keys on a quantum computer, with work by other researchers in the open more than halving memory use compared to the state of the art in 2023. At the same time, computer manufacturers are boasting quantum processors that retain viable superpositions over longer periods. Given how slowly software updates filter out to stable systems, it's worth looking at what configuration changes and protocol updates are needed to be safe from quantum computers now. ⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠻⢷⢶⡆⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣡⣄⡈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⢘⡛⣟⣻⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⣿⣿⡟⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⢸⢿⣿⣿⠇⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠛⠉⠀⠲⢿⣿⠟⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⠃⠀⠉⠛⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠃⠀⠀⠙⣻⡏⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⢿⡷⠄⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀ ⠀⢀⣤⡶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣠⣶⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠘⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡿⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠐⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠟⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠻⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠈⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠈⠛⢿⣦⡀⠀⠀⣀⡠⠤⣼⣆⡻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⢼⣿⠆⢠⡿⠿⠛⠋⠛⢿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠓⠻⢧⣀⣀⣾⣿⠟⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⡀⠀⠚⠟⠛⠁⠀⠰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡏⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢀⢀⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⡿⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠏⠁⠀⠘⢿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠠⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⡇⣶⣶⣶⡆⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣶⣤⡀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⣶⣶⣶⣦⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⣶⡆⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⢻⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡆⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠾⠿⢿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠹⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⡇⢨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⢸⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣀⠤⡀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣜⢿⡿⠻⣿⡇⠀⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⡏⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠘⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⠟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⣠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣿⣿⡇⠛⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠙⠃⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣧⣀⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⢀⣠⣤⠾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⠈⣿⡿⠇⢽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⣠⡀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⠛⣿⣷⣦⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⠀⢿⣿⡀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣷⣀⣾⠿⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣅⣀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠶⠿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣄⡀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠄⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢄⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1538 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/Mozilla_Keeps_Pushing_Slop_Plagiarism_and_Spying_on_Firefox_Use.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/Mozilla_Keeps_Pushing_Slop_Plagiarism_and_Spying_on_Firefox_Use.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Mozilla Keeps Pushing Slop Plagiarism and Spying on Firefox Users (Mozilla Does Not Work for Users, It "Monetises" Them)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 03, 2026 * ⚓ Marius Quabeck ☛ Firefox’s_AI_Switch_Is_Off._Telemetry_Isn’t.⠀⇛ My Wireshark test of Firefox 148 showed that its AI kill switch disables generative features, but leaves telemetry and advertising untouched.

Something else that is completely reasonable: deciding for yourself how and when you engage with AI features.For some of you, AI is part of your everyday life, whether you are using it to summarize a large amount of information, brainstorm ideas for work, or research trips and personal purchases. Some of you interact with AI as little as possible, and prefer to keep it that way. And a lot of you are somewhere in between: curious, but exploring on your own terms and at your own pace.Your personal use of AI is just that, personal. Firefox offers various levels of AI integration into your browser, and the choice between them is entirely yours. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1585 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/One_week_of_LibreOffice_26_8_The_stats.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/One_week_of_LibreOffice_26_8_The_stats.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ One week of LibreOffice 26.8 – The stats!⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 03, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇LibreOffice_26.8⦈_ Quoting: One week of LibreOffice 26.8 – The stats! - TDF Community Blog — One week ago, we announced LibreOffice 26.8, our brand new major update.

Here’s the other one: std::hive. * ⚓ Jeroen Sangers ☛ You_optimise_a_system_by_looking_at_the_whole_flow, not_by_making_the_fastest_part_faster⠀⇛ The question that matters is not how to make one part faster, but what a change does to the whole flow. Skip that question and you optimise inside an illusion of progress: a fine result at one station, while the total lead time stays the same or gets worse. * ⚓ Farid Zakaria ☛ The_holy_grail_of_nixpkgs:_version_ranges⠀⇛ The multiverse already solves exact pins, and provably well in O(n log n). However it had some caveats to the solution. In order to solve version ranges, the problem becomes a boolean satisfiability problem and therefore NP-hard.

We just update a few Rd files to adhere to a stricter standing of checking by R. o ⚓ R Studio Data Lab ☛ Z-Test_in_R:_Complete_Guide_with_One-Sample_& Two-Sample_Examples⠀⇛ A Z-test checks whether a sample mean is significantly different from a claimed population mean but it only works under one specific condition that trips up more dissertation students than any other part of the test: you have to actually know the population standard deviation, not estimate it from your own data. It covers the one-sample and two-sample Z-test in R, both the packaged function and the manual calculation, and more importantly how to tell whether a Z-test is even the right test for what you're doing. o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Z-Test_in_R:_Complete_Guide_with_One-Sample_&_Two-Sample Examples⠀⇛ Complete guide to running one-sample and two-sample Z- tests in R using BSDA::z.test(), the manual pnorm/qnorm method, and how to choose between a Z-test and a t-test for your data. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1800 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/Red_Hat_Slop_VMs_Risk_and_Red_Hat_Satellite_6_20.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/Red_Hat_Slop_VMs_Risk_and_Red_Hat_Satellite_6_20.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat: Slop, VMs, Risk, and Red Hat Satellite 6.20⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 03, 2026 * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ LoRA_backdoor_threat:_How_OpenShift_Hey_Hi_(AI)_mitigates_the risk [Ed: Slop plagiarism advertised as solution rather than problem]⠀⇛ A researcher at a pharmaceutical company deploys a productivity assistant built on a well-regarded open-weight model. The base model is clean—it's been evaluated, its weights are public, its behavior is understood. A low-rank adaptation (LoRA) adapter is added to tune it for the lab's domain: it understands drug- discovery terminology, knows the team's workflows, and uses the right tools. The assistant is useful. Nobody looks too hard at the adapter file. Why would they? * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Extend_Layer_2_networks_into_Red_Bait_OpenShift Virtualization_with_BGP_and_EVPN⠀⇛ When you migrate to Red Bait OpenShift Virtualization, you are modernizing your infrastructure, but obviously you want to do so without breaking existing network dependencies or compromising security boundaries. Traditional architectures frequently struggle to resolve this, forcing teams to rely on complex, fragile NAT rules to maintain connectivity for imported VMs or on burdensome, manual configurations to preserve multi-tenant isolation across shared clusters. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ What_risk-aware_model_deployment_looks_like_in regulated_industries⠀⇛ A standard model card surfaces what a model's developers decided to share: training data sources, benchmark scores, accuracy metrics on curated test sets, etc. This information is useful, but model cards can't tell you how the model will behave when someone tries to break it. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_Satellite_6.20_limited_availability:_Early access_registration_now_open⠀⇛ Together, these updates help the platform that stages patches, enforces standards, and keeps disconnected estates under local control meet the security and sovereignty expectations coming over the next decade. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1866 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/Security_Leftovers_and_Windows_TCO.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/Security_Leftovers_and_Windows_TCO.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers and Windows TCO⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 03, 2026 * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Wednesday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (dbus-broker, freerdp, gegl, gegl04, gimp, gimp:2.8, glib2, grafana, gzip, iperf3, libssh, nodejs22, nodejs24, nodejs:22, nodejs:24, php: 7.4, php:8.2, pipewire, ruby:3.3, ruby:4.0, tar, wget, and xmlrpc-c), Debian (cyrus-imapd, keystone, and lemonldap-ng), Fedora (bubblewrap, cockpit, emacs, gdk-pixbuf2, openssl, openvkl, python-linkify-it-py, python-llm, and rkcommon), Gentoo (Chromium, Surveillance Giant Google Chrome, Abusive Monopolist Microsoft Edge, Opera, Vivaldi), Oracle (glib2, gzip, mingw-sqlite, nodejs22, xorg-x11-server, and xorg-x11- server-Xwayland), Red Hat (go-toolset:rhel8, golang, and grafana), Slackware (pcre2), SUSE (apache2-mod_auth_openidc, busybox, cups-filters, java-17-openj9, java-1_8_0-openj9, libapr-util1, libgcrypt, python-sqlparse, python3-sqlparse, python313-uv, terraform-provider-aws, terraform-provider- azurerm, terraform-provider-external, terraform-provider- google, terraform-provider-helm, terraform-provider-kubernetes, terraform-provid, ucode-intel, wicked, and yast2-auth-client), and Ubuntu (libevent, libgcrypt20, ncurses, opencryptoki, pam, pyasn1, rust-sudo-rs, and ubuntu-advantage-tools). * ⚓ RedHat_Linux_Kernel_Multiple_Vulnerabilities⠀⇛ Multiple vulnerabilities were identified in RedHat Linux Kernel. A remote attacker could exploit some of these vulnerabilities to trigger data manipulation, denial of service condition, elevation of privilege, sensitive information disclosure and remote code execution on the targeted system. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ 23-Year-Old_Sality_P2P_Botnet_Disrupted⠀⇛ The shutdown operation involved peer list manipulation and Sality payload URL takedown. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Malicious_Virtualizor_Update_Served_via_BGP_Hijacking⠀⇛ Using a technically valid TLS certificate for Softaculous’ domains, a threat actor diverted traffic to fake software updates. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Exploit_Published_for_Fresh_Cleo_Harmony Vulnerability⠀⇛ The security defect allows remote attackers to bypass authentication through argument bearer manipulation. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Rockwell_Automation_Patches_Over_a_Dozen Vulnerabilities_Across_Products⠀⇛ The industrial giant has released advisories for its RSLinx Classic, ArmorStart, ControlFLASH, FactoryTalk, and other products. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ UK_Moves_to_Block_High-Risk_Tech_Suppliers_From Critical_Infrastructure⠀⇛ Late amendments to the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill would give ministers new powers to restrict risky technology providers as supply chain attacks intensify. * ⚓ Echo_Acquires_Minimus_Assets_As_Hardened_Open-Source_Security_Platform Expands_Across_Linux_Distributions⠀⇛ Echo Software has acquired key assets from Minimus after Minimus decided to wind down operations, expanding Echo’s hardened open-source software platform while giving existing Minimus customers a path to keep using related technology. * ⚓ ZDNet ☛ OpenAI’s_agents_exploited_a_patched_Linux_bug_in_Hugging_Face incident:_6_steps_to_take_ASAP [Ed: Slop hype from LF funded site and LF funded writer (LF is bribed by these slop companies to promote them)]⠀⇛ * § Windows TCO / Windows Bot Nets⠀➾ o ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Russian_hacker_faces_up_to_20_years_in_prison, following_extradition_and_indictment_over_US_phishing_campaign_that allegedly_infected_80,000_PCs_—_hacker_stole_victims'_data_via remote_access⠀⇛ Russian national faces US charges over a phishing campaign that allegedly infected 80,000 PCs and stole credentials and personal data o ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Dogged_Russia-based_botnet_dismantled_after 23-year_run⠀⇛ Sality’s peer-to-peer infrastructure allowed it to evade system-wide disruption efforts for an exceptionally long period.

lightweight Arch-based distribution - LinuxLinks — Built on Arch Linux, SlyOS provides a preconfigured desktop operating system designed to make the Arch foundation more approachable without removing its flexibility. The distribution follows the KISS principle and places an emphasis on a lightweight environment, straightforward configuration, performance, and sensible defaults. The project takes a fairly opinionated approach to the desktop. Rather than trying to offer every possible component, it assembles a focused environment and selects applications that fit the developer’s vision of a practical everyday system. SlyOS is intended both for people who want an easier route into an Arch-based environment and users who prefer a system that arrives substantially configured.

It is supplied as a live graphical system built around the SweetPotato desktop and Swirl, a lightweight Wayland compositor derived from Scroll and Sway and inspired by Niri. Swirl takes a scrolling tiling approach rather than using a conventional overlapping desktop. Windows are arranged as columns across a continuous horizontal strip, while workspaces are organised vertically. The environment retains compatibility with familiar Sway tooling while offering a preconfigured desktop rather than expecting users to assemble an Arch system themselves.

display and keyboard. Take out the SD card and modify the WiFi credentials directly. * ⚓ Linuxize ☛ How_to_Open_a_Port_in_the_Firewall_on_Linux⠀⇛ Open a port in a GNU/Linux firewall with ufw, firewalld, nftables, or iptables, then make the rule persistent and test remote access. * ⚓ OSTechNix ☛ 8_SSH_Hardening_Tips_to_Secure_a_Linux_Server_Against Brute-Force_Attacks⠀⇛ Enough said. In the following sections, we will learn how to apply these protections on a Linux server. Following are the 8 essential SSH security hardening tips I'd recommend to defend your Linux system against password brute- force attacks. * ⚓ Darren Goossens ☛ No-Width_Optional_Break_is_not_working;_workaround⠀⇛ No-Width Optional Break is not working. Replace with zero width space (Unicode 200B). This webpage is really handy: [...] * ⚓ Reverse_dependencies_as_a_zypper_plugin⠀⇛ A few years ago I wrote a blog_post about a small hackweek project called rdepends. The idea was simple: given a package, find out what other packages depend on it, recursively. It lived in my home project on the build service and it was a useful but rough tool. Since then a few things happened that made me revisit it. § Zypper got the feature Back when I started this project, zypper had no built-in way to ask “what depends on package X?”. You could ask the other direction easily with zypper info --requires, but not the reverse. I raised this with the zypper developers and Benjamin Zeller implemented the --requires-pkg flag in zypper 1.14.33. So now you can do: [...] * ⚓ Peter 'CzP' Czanik ☛ Using_syslog-ng_with_Elasticsearch_9.5⠀⇛ Recently, I heard complaints within the syslog-ng community that using Elasticsearch is not that easy anymore. I installed Elasticsearch 9.5 with Kibana to verify these claims. * ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Manage_Linux_Updates_Across_Multiple_Distributions⠀⇛ But a scheduled job can keep them all current automatically, so running updates is rarely the problem. The challenge isn’t in applying the updates themselves; it’s being able to see, at any moment, which machines are actually current and which have quietly slipped behind. * ⚓ TecMint ☛ usermod_Command:_Manage_Linux_Users,_Groups,_UID,_Shell_and More⠀⇛ Everything below was tested on Ubuntu 26.04 with shadow-utils. Where behavior differs on RHEL-based systems, I’ve called it out. * ⚓ How_to_Try_Omarchy_Linux_on_a_Mac,_Without_Installing_Linux⠀⇛ Omarchy is a new curated Linux distribution that offers a pre- configured keyboard driven environment and window manager. It’s lightweight and highly customizable, with system integrated AI tools, making for a unique take on operating systems. With Omarchy gaining quite a bit of attention, you might be curious in giving Omarchy a test run, but perhaps you’re not yet ready to commit an entire computer to running the new Linux distro, or don’t want to tinker with a VM. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2849 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 03, 2026 * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ FLOSS_Weekly_Episode_880:_The_Two_Wolves⠀⇛ This week Jonathan chats with Benjamin Samuels of Trail of Bits! The conversation focuses on Patch the Planet, a new initiative to help Open Source projects deal with the fallout from AI coding and vulnerability research. What’s the unexpected dichotomy driving the polarized response to LLMs? And what does the future look like for Open Source in the age of AI?

Most of the time I only need email, so it's nice having a much simplified UX. I also like how integrated into Gnome they all are. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ A_boxed_set_of_DR_DOS_6!⠀⇛ I feel like I righted a wrong in some small way recently. It also gives me an excuse to write another of my shaggy dog posts about old computers, which I’ll never pass up the opportunity to do. Behold, our boxed copy of Digital Research DOS 6.0 from 1992: [...] o ⚓ Ryan Gibb ☛ Dependency_Resolution_via_Natural_Join⠀⇛ Package managers generally use SAT solvers for dependency resolution, walking the solution space, backtracking on conflicts, to find a resolution. This article will explain how a dependency resolution algorithm to find the whole solution space can be defined as a sequence of natural joins, and discuss the feasibility of implementing such an algorithm. It’s based on conversations with Gershom Bazerman, Aaron Hsu and Michael D. Adams at ICFP 2026. The Package Calculus is short prerequisite reading, and the paper Package Managers à la Carte provides useful background. o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ Klara ☛ FreeBSD's_Release_Cycle:_What_It_Means_for_Your Upgrade_Schedule⠀⇛ Understand how the FreeBSD release cycle works, from CURRENT and STABLE branches to RELEASE versions, support timelines, and upgrade planning. Learn what version numbers mean, how releases are built, and what production teams need to know to stay on supported systems. o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ Tumbleweed_Monthly_Update_-_August_2026⠀⇛ August delivered a packed month of snapshots across the desktop, developer tooling, and security surface. KDE Plasma 6.7.4 landed with KWin GPU management fixes and a workaround for libepoxy issues when a GPU reset happens. KDE Frameworks 6.29.0 and KDE Gear 26.08.0 also arrived in the month. GNOME Shell 50.4 and mutter 50.4 arrived with HiDPI cursor fixes and HDR output improvements. Mesa settled into its 26.2 series, and the Linux kernel progressed from 7.1.5 to 7.2.0 with a long tail of CVE fixes. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2964 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/Wayland_is_a_Problem_for_KDE_KDAB_is_Dabbling_in_Slop_Plagiaris.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/Wayland_is_a_Problem_for_KDE_KDAB_is_Dabbling_in_Slop_Plagiaris.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Wayland is a Problem for KDE, KDAB is Dabbling in Slop Plagiarism for Hype's Sake (Marketing)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 03, 2026 * ⚓ Wayland_pain_points_–_Dwell_Clicker⠀⇛ One known_significant_issue when going from X11 to Wayland was our KMouseTool being X11 only. KMouseTool implements a Dwell Clicker that is an assistive technology designed for individuals who find traditional mouse clicking difficult, painful, or impossible due to conditions like paralysis, mobility issues, or repetitive strain injury (RSI). It allows users to perform left-clicks, right-clicks, double-clicks, and dragging entirely without pressing physical buttons by simply pausing the cursor on the screen for a specified duration. * ⚓ KDAB ☛ Using_Hey_Hi_(AI)_to_modernize_or_migrate_code [Ed: Slop is not improving or modernising, it's legacy]⠀⇛ AI agents are highly effective at accelerating code modernization and migration, but one-click transformations remain a risky promise. Drawing on decades of migration experience, KDAB combines AI-assisted workflows with small, reviewable changes, rigorous testing, reusable agent skills, and a phased delivery model. The result is not merely transformed code, but software your team can understand, maintain, and trust. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3013 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/Web_Browsers_Web_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/03/Web_Browsers_Web_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Web Browsers/Web Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 03, 2026 * ⚓ Tor ☛ Arti_2.6.0_released_|_The_Tor_Project⠀⇛ Arti is our ongoing project to create a next-generation Tor implementation in Rust. We're happy to announce the latest release, Arti 2.6.0. This release continues our ongoing development towards using Arti as a relay and as a directory authority, with much of the work focusing on document parsing, directory mirror support, and DNS stream handling. Additionally, on the RPC front, we are making steady progress towards RPC-based configuration management. Finally, congestion control and Counter Galois Onion cryptography are both now always enabled in arti. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Chrome_and_Firefox_Updates_Patch_Dozens_of Vulnerabilities⠀⇛ The update also addresses nine high-severity security defects, including use-after-free, incorrect authorization, information leak, improper input validation, uninitialized resource, and buffer overflow weaknesses. * ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ curl_8.22.0⠀⇛ If you rather want a security-patched older release branch, stay tuned for the follow-up Rock-solid curl announcement within a few days. * ⚓ Harry Roberts ☛ Web-Perf_Wednesday_007_–_Chrome_Makes_Busy_Workers Measurable⠀⇛ There’s been a useful amount of movement since last week, although most of it is arriving through browser releases rather than grand announcements. Chrome has started exposing slow work inside dedicated Web Workers, Firefox now lets failed module loads recover, and WebKit has fixed a responsive-image preload edge case. Chrome exposes work we couldn’t see, Firefox can retry a load it had written off, and WebKit asks for the image it actually selected. Chrome’s worker change offers the most interesting field data, provided we’re careful about what it actually reports. o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Tor ☛ New_Alpha_Release:_Tor_Browser_16.0a11_|_The_Tor Project⠀⇛ This version includes important security updates to Firefox. ⚠️ 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. # ⚓ MacRumors ☛ Firefox_for_iOS_Gets_Built-In_Ad_Blocker⠀⇛ Ad blocking is turned off by default, and it can be turned on in the Firefox app by going to Settings > Browsing > Ad Blocker. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 3107 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 27 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
