It provides a straightforward interface for selecting an image and target removable device without requiring command-line tools such as dd. The application can verify supported ISO images using checksums and digital signatures before writing them. It includes safeguards intended to reduce the risk of accidentally overwriting system drives and uses UDisks2 for device access on Linux. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ SunPy_-_Python_tools_for_solar_physics_data_analysis⠀⇛ The package offers a common interface across data from many solar instruments and observatories. Its Fido system searches and downloads observations from multiple services using criteria such as time, instrument and wavelength. Supported sources include the Virtual Solar Observatory, JSOC, CDAWeb, HEK, SOLARNET and several mission-specific archives. SunPy also provides metadata-aware containers for two- dimensional observations and time-dependent measurements. Map objects combine image arrays with FITS metadata and support coordinate-aware operations, while TimeSeries handles observational data sharing a common time axis. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Knot_Resolver_–_scalable_caching_DNS_resolver⠀⇛ Its core architecture combines C and LuaJIT and exposes a state-machine-like API that can be extended with modules. A Python management component provides a higher-level interface for configuring and operating the resolver. Knot Resolver takes a shared-nothing approach to scaling. Independent workers can be assigned to available CPU cores and added or removed without interrupting service, while its MVCC cache can be shared where appropriate. This makes the software suitable for both compact installations and systems handling substantial DNS traffic. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ reeve_–_local_web_development_stack_manager⠀⇛ Rather than bundling its own copies of these components, reeve manages software already installed on the host. On Linux, services are run through per-user systemd units. One of its main design goals is letting different local sites use different PHP installations simultaneously. This avoids the usual constraint of switching a single globally active PHP installation whenever a project requires a different environment. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ FramR_-_Wayland_screenshot_and_screen-recording_utility⠀⇛ FramR is a Wayland screenshot and screen-recording utility with built-in annotation and upload facilities. It can capture an entire screen, a monitor or a selected region, edit a screenshot before saving it, copy captures to the clipboard, and record video with configurable encoding. It also supports ShareX and iShare-compatible uploaders for sending captures directly to configured hosting services. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Inetutils_-_traditional_networking_utilities_and_servers⠀⇛ Inetutils is a collection of traditional networking clients, servers and administrative utilities. It brings together familiar programs for testing connectivity, inspecting network configuration, transferring files, querying remote services and providing classic network daemons. The individual utilities were originally derived from the 4.4BSD- Lite2 distribution, although a number have since been substantially rewritten. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ WeaveDreamer_-_fabric_design_software_for_hand_weavers⠀⇛ WeaveDreamer is fabric design software for hand weavers. It provides tools for creating and editing textile weaving drafts with support for arbitrary numbers of warp and weft threads, treadles and harnesses. The application combines traditional draft components with palettes, reusable editing operations, WIF interchange and printing facilities. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Alternatives_to_Citrix_NetScaler⠀⇛ NetScaler is an application delivery controller (ADC) platform designed to optimize, secure and control the delivery of applications. Its functionality includes load balancing, traffic management, SSL/TLS offloading, application acceleration and application security. NetScaler is proprietary software. We recommend the best free and open source alternatives for Linux. The software featured here offers alternatives to NetScaler’s core ADC and application-delivery functionality. None individually duplicates NetScaler’s entire integrated stack, which also encompasses areas such as web application firewalling, API security and bot management. * ⚓ pychemqt_–_chemical_engineering_process_simulator⠀⇛ pychemqt is a graphical application for calculations and the design of unit operations in chemical engineering. Its scope extends considerably beyond a collection of isolated engineering calculators: users can define process streams, construct flow diagrams and model equipment while drawing on an extensive collection of thermodynamic and physical-property methods. The software is written in Python with a Qt interface. NumPy, SciPy and Matplotlib provide much of its numerical and plotting foundation, while additional scientific libraries can extend its property calculations and data interchange capabilities. This is free and open source software. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⢀⣀⠈⣒⠘⠒⡀⢓⣓⢁⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⢸⢸⠼⢻⡇⣹⣸⣻⡈⡇⢸⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠈⠀⠈⠉⠁⢡⡄⠁⠁⠈⠉⠉⠈⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⣃⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢶⣮⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣬⢍⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠠⠶⠟⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠷⠦⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠸⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡀⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠃⣈⠙⣿⡀⠀⠘⢻⣿⣿⣿⣇⢹⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠇⢠⣿⡷⠀⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⠿⣿⠿⡿⠿⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⠿⢿⣿⠿⣿⠿⡿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⣿⣿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⠒⠲⣆⠉⣰⡀⠒⠲⡆⢰⡆⠐⠒⡆⠀⠉⠀⢸⣿⠀⣿⠀⡇⠐⠂⡀⢰⣦⠘⠃⠄⢱⡆⢰⡆⠐⢒⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣉⣠⣿⣀⣿⣌⣉⣴⣧⣸⣧⣈⣉⣁⣸⣠⣇⣸⣿⣦⣉⣠⣇⣸⣿⣇⣈⣡⣬⣰⣶⣀⣇⣸⣇⣈⣉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 299 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/05/Best_GNU_Linux_Distros_for_New_Laptops_in_2026_and_Zorin_OS_for.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/05/Best_GNU_Linux_Distros_for_New_Laptops_in_2026_and_Zorin_OS_for.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Best GNU/Linux Distros for New Laptops in 2026 and Zorin OS for Legacy Things⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 05, 2026 * ⚓ LinuxStans ☛ Best_GNU/Linux_Distros_for_New_Laptops_in_2026⠀⇛ You just paid good money for a laptop with this year’s CPU, a new GPU, and a WiFi chip that didn’t exist six months ago. Then you install a GNU/Linux distro built for hardware from 2023, and half of it doesn’t work. The trackpad stutters. The fingerprint reader isn’t even detected. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ These_5_Linux_distros_promise_to_run_Windows_apps—I_tried them_all,_and_one_was_clearly_the_best⠀⇛ One of the biggest problems with switching from Windows to Linux has always been software compatibility. Linux has thousands of applications, but there are still Windows programs that people depend on for work, school, creative projects, and everyday computing. That is where Wine and its various frontends come in. Instead of running Windows inside a virtual machine, compatibility layers allow many Windows applications to run directly on Linux. Some Linux distros make this process considerably easier than others. I tried five distros that take different approaches to Windows compatibility and they are not all designed for exactly the same audience. Some are explicitly aimed at Windows users, while others have built extensive Wine and Proton support around their gaming ecosystems. § Zorin OS ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 354 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/05/Distributions_and_Operating_Systems_TrueNAS_Omarchy_DiffOS.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/05/Distributions_and_Operating_Systems_TrueNAS_Omarchy_DiffOS.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Distributions and Operating Systems: TrueNAS, Omarchy, DiffOS⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 05, 2026 * § BSD⠀➾ o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Offshoots_of_cancelled_TrueNAS_Core_upgrade_to FreeBSD_15⠀⇛ Good news if you want to keep your NAS boxes on FreeBSD – two new contenders just stepped up, with updated forks of the cancelled TrueNAS Core. FreeBSD has a strong reputation as a stable server OS, and integrates highly reliable ZFS filesystem right into its kernel. The snag is that Linux is rather more widespread, meaning more people know their way around a Linux box – but Linux knowledge doesn’t transfer well over to FreeBSD. * § Arch Family⠀➾ o ⚓ Geeky Gadgets ☛ DHH_Creates_Omarchy_to_Simplify_Arch_GNU/Linux with_Hey_Hi_(AI)_Tools⠀⇛ Omarchy is a GNU/Linux distribution created by David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH) that blends the adaptability of Arch GNU/Linux with a focus on user accessibility. Built on Arch’s rolling-release model, Omarchy streamlines the setup process by including pre-configured elements such as the Hyprland tiling window manager and the Quickshell interface. * § Debian Family⠀➾ o ⚓ Simon Josefsson ☛ Soft-launching_the_DiffOS_project⠀⇛ Today marks the day of soft-launching of my Debian derivative, which I’ve been using on several of my own machines for the past year or so. This is still work in progress, but I wanted to establish a launch date of the project so below is the DiffOS manifesto as motivation for continued work. DiffOS is For Freedom! DiffOS is the Debian Increment For Freedom Operating System. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 425 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/05/European_Google_Search_alternative_Ecosia_launches_Linux_browse.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/05/European_Google_Search_alternative_Ecosia_launches_Linux_browse.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ European Google Search alternative Ecosia launches Linux browser⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 05, 2026 * ⚓ Cybernews ☛ European_Google_Search_alternative_Ecosia_launches_Linux browser⠀⇛ Ecosia, the largest European search engine, has introduced a native Linux browser, promising no excessive data collection.​ Germany-based Ecosia says the new browser is a response to Windows’ shrinking popularity in Europe, while Linux has doubled its market share to nearly 5.7% in 2025, up from 2.5% in 2024, according to StatCounter. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ The_search_company_that_plants_trees_just_launched_a Linux_browser_to_help_Europe_battle_big_tech⠀⇛ Berlin-based eco-conscious search outfit Ecosia is expanding its range of European-focused web browsers to include a Linux version, citing the growing number of users in the EU looking for open alternatives to the clutches of American tech giants. Calling Linux users a “critical tech community that has long called for data privacy, digital sovereignty, and sustainability,” Ecosia said it was launching the new browser to support the community, whose numbers it says doubled in the EU between 2024 and 2025. The absolute share remains small, mind you - from 2.5 percent of EU computer users to 5.7 percent in the course of a year, but it’s still an increase that the Linux community can be proud of. Ecosia noted that Windows’ share of the market fell during that same period, from 80.2 percent to 74.2 percent. As of this writing, Linux’s share of the European desktop and console market is 6.4 percent, while Windows has dropped to 68.62 percent, per Statcounter. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 483 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/05/Free_Software_and_Open_Data_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/05/Free_Software_and_Open_Data_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free Software and Open Data Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 05, 2026 * ⚓ Protesilaos Stavrou ☛ Emacs:_doric-themes_version_1.3.0⠀⇛ These are my minimalist themes. They use few colours and will appear mostly monochromatic in many contexts. Styles involve the careful use of typography, such as italics and bold italics. * ⚓ James Cherti ☛ Optimizing_Emacs_Startup_-_Guide_to_Deferred_Package Loading_with_use-package⠀⇛ As an Emacs user, your configuration can easily grow from a few lightweight adjustments to a massive, hundred-package IDE. Without careful management, Emacs startup time can degrade from sub-second execution to several seconds, or minutes, in the worst cases. Eager package loading is one common source of startup overhead. This guide explains how Emacs loads libraries, how use-package configures package loading, and how deferred loading can reduce startup time. * ⚓ Neovim ☛ Lua-async_-_Neovim_docs⠀⇛ Structured async API for Lua code that waits on event-loop work. vim.async lets Lua code wait for timers, callbacks, and other tasks without blocking Nvim's event loop. Async work runs inside tasks, which can pause at checkpoints and manage child tasks created while they are running. * § Web Browsers/Web Servers/Feed Readers⠀➾ o ⚓ Rachel Kaufman ☛ GNU_Terry_Pratchett_-_'A_man_is_not_dead_while his_name_is_still_spoken.'⠀⇛ Well, over the last decade, nearly 2000 websites have added the HTTP header x-clacks-overhead: GNU Terry Pratchett, meaning that his name continues to travel the Internet and will never be forgotten. As of this week, this site is one of them. * § Server⠀➾ o ⚓ Kubernetes Blog ☛ Kubernetes_v1.37:_KubeletInUserNamespace_(aka Rootless_mode)_Graduates_to_Beta⠀⇛ Kubernetes v1.37 promotes the KubeletInUserNamespace feature gate to beta. With this feature enabled, all of the node components (kubelet, CRI and OCI runtimes, CNI plugins, and kube-proxy) can run as a non-root user on the host, using a Linux_user_namespace. This technique is also known as rootless mode. * § Openness/Sharing⠀➾ o § Open Data⠀➾ # ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ How_much_should_you_trust_your_OSS_data?⠀⇛ …Said every researcher, everywhere. However in most cases of open source related data, we are only looking at part of the whole. Why am I writing this post? Because many of us (including many business decision-makers) are too comfortable with unsubstantiated data. We’ve gotten used to it. Our models assume that it’s smelly and we adjust the logic and weights to compromise. When it comes to open source, our confidence is even lower, even though our resulting decisions can directly impact individuals whom we collectively depend on. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Apple,_Google_Pathetically_Buckle_To_Trump’s_Dim And_Lazy_Effort_To_Rename_Lake_Ontario⠀⇛ Google was the first to quickly make the change to appease Trump; in fact they acted so quickly on this the change to Google Maps happened before the government had even finished implementing it. Apple was very quick to follow suit, despite the fact that nobody at the company actually supports the ridiculous and pointless change: [...] ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 597 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/05/Games_Stranded_Deep_2_DRAGON_BALL_XENOVERSE_3_GUNDAM_ROGUE_ORBI.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/05/Games_Stranded_Deep_2_DRAGON_BALL_XENOVERSE_3_GUNDAM_ROGUE_ORBI.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Stranded Deep 2, DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 3, GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT, FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 05, 2026, updated Sep 05, 2026 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Stranded_Deep_2_brings_survival_to_the_desert wilderness_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Revealed during the Steam survival crafting fest recently, we're getting another dose of survival in Stranded Deep 2. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Get_some_quality_tactical_RPGs_in_the_CRPG_Pack: Isometric_Immersion_Humble_Bundle_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ You can get some real quality tactical RPGs in the CRPG Pack: Isometric Immersion Humble Bundle, this is one with some great savings.

The foundations to make the changes are done, as are most of the UI changes. Here is a preview: Due to technical limitations the design will need adjustments. Nautilus only can retrieve information about one recently used application per file type, but the mockup intended to have the displayed apps sorted by recency (and then limited to only showing 5 of them). Nautilus could start tracking app usage itself, but it probably would make more sense to have it in the App_Chooser_Portal. Unfortunately the portal currently does not support opening more than one file. For now I will implement a compromise of the mockup in nautilus and in parallel work on a proposal to extended the portal API to also cover opening multiple files. * ⚓ GNOME ☛ Sophie_Herold:_GNOME_Fellowship_August_2026⠀⇛ The GNOME Foundation is supporting contributors with its fellowship_program. You can help expand the fellowship program with a donation. The previous month concluded with releasing the beta versions for GNOME 51.

The issue was interesting because it was caused by a non-standard Docker configuration that their installer applied by default, without alerting users that this configuration was creating a security risk. The end result was that any process running on these systems had the ability to elevate itself to root, without password, sudo or any prompts to the user. While this incident did not affect me, it served as a reminder that it is difficult to set up Docker in a way that is secure. If you are interested in understanding what the issues with Docker are and what can be done to address them, then you are in the right place. o ⚓ Alisa Sireneva ☛ The_NX_bit_is_not_just_about_security⠀⇛ This bug hunting saga started several months ago. While developing a bare-metal hypervisor on ARM64 for postmarketOS, I hit a strange bug: if I enabled the CTR_EL0 intercept (which was the whole purpose of the HV, so could not be skipped), the phone would randomly lock itself up. After a few seconds, the watchdog kicked in and reset the system. At first I thought that the boot got slowed down so much that the system simply did not have enough time to boot, but disabling the watchdog did not help either (fortunately, the phone in question had removable battery, and I didn’t have to wait several hours for it to discharge). So, I started digging deeper. * § Benchmarks⠀➾ o ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ I_benchmarked_GPU_performance_on_Windows_vs._Linux, and_the_driver_tax_was_unbelievable⠀⇛ Linux and Windows use very different methods for distributing and updating drivers. Windows takes a more hands-on approach, where you’ll have to download and update most packages manually. This is especially true for GPU drivers. On the other hand, Linux updates GPU drivers system-wide when you trigger the update through your package manager, which streamlines the process. Windows might automate some of these updates, but more often than not, there is a conflict between Windows' version and the latest official version from the Nvidia website itself. This makes Windows really annoying to deal with on certain kinds of hardware. * § Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ I_replaced_cloud_apps_with_these_8_open-source_Linux programs_that_keep_everything_local⠀⇛ Cloud applications seem very convenient until you start thinking about how much of your work depends on someone else’s servers, but Linux gives you another option. Over the past few years, I have found open-source desktop applications that can replace many cloud-based tools while keeping the actual work on my machine. The result is a simpler setup where files stay on local storage, applications continue working without an internet connection, and I have more control over my data. These are 8 Linux applications that replaced cloud services I previously used. o ⚓ Septabee,_an_insane-looking_free_Linux/Windows_DAW_with pomegranates⠀⇛ Suddenly, a bunch of the producers I follow are buzzing about the music-mangling possibilities of Septabee, a free DAW for Linux and Windows developed “in secret” over “20,000 hours.” And it looks like insane fun: a bonkers dataflow interface and “violently unfinished” early- access software available through an intentionally broken website that autoplays music and makes you hunt for the click zone like it’s 1994. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 863 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/05/Hyggshi_OS_customizable_Debian_based_Linux_distribution.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/05/Hyggshi_OS_customizable_Debian_based_Linux_distribution.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Hyggshi OS – customizable Debian-based Linux distribution⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 05, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Hyggshi_OS⦈_ Quoting: Hyggshi OS - customizable Debian-based Linux distribution - LinuxLinks — Hyggshi OS is a custom Linux distribution built around a flexible Debian-family base. Its build system uses debootstrap, mksquashfs and xorriso to assemble bootable images directly rather than relying on live-build. Debian is the default base, while the same build framework can also target Ubuntu and Linux Mint. The distribution provides a graphical live environment designed to move cleanly from evaluation to an installed system. Xfce is the default desktop, although several alternative desktop environments can be selected when building an image. Hyggshi OS also applies its own branding across the boot process and desktop experience.

Linux was apparently running inside a PDF file. This wasn't a screenshot of a terminal or a simulated command prompt. It was an actual Linux environment that you could interact with from the document. That was enough to send me looking for the project. I knew PDFs were capable of more than displaying text and images, but running an operating system inside one was not something I had ever considered possible. Once I found the LinuxPDF project, I wanted to see whether it really worked and what you could actually do with it. The setup looked straightforward enough. Download the PDF, open it in a Chromium-based browser, and Linux should start running. I figured I would be poking around in a terminal within a few minutes. Of course, it wasn’t that simple.

The reason for this is usually to improve cooling performance, as the IHS is effectively a small heatsink between the die and the large heatsink, adding more problematic thermal interfaces. If delidding is done improperly it can cause severe damage to the substrate, as in the case of a very nice 1.3 GHz Tualatin Pentium III CPU that [Bits und Bolts] got in an eBay lot with nasty delidding damage. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Making_A_Pole_Balance_Itself_With_Propellers⠀⇛ A fun trick with a pole is to try to balance it so that it can stand on one end.

It was an exceptionally productive week of updates, headlined by major transitions in our core toolchains. The base system has been elevated with the arrival of glibc 2.44, which brings foundational performance and security enhancements, including standard C23 library features, Intel/AMD shadow stack support, and optimized memory routines. Close on its heels came the system default transitions to Rust 1.98 and LLVM 23.1.0, giving developers access to the latest compiler features and optimizations. On the core system front, the stable update of GNU/Linux Kernel 7.2.2 was delivered to maintain top-tier hardware compatibility. Virtualization hosts received a major update to QEMU 11.1.0, introducing substantial emulation improvements. Wireless network security was bolstered with the release of wpa_supplicant 2.12, and scientific workflows were updated with python-numpy 2.5.2.

It covered the right material at the right depth, and the feedback from readers was positive. But a book is a passive experience — you read, you nod, you move on. I recently learned about Leanpub courses and I thought that it’s time to try something new. So I turned C++ Concepts it into a Leanpub course. * ⚓ Philip Zucker ☛ Validating_GDB_Interrupt_Traces_Against_a_TLA+_Spec⠀⇛ Anyhoo, an angle that I’ve been trying recently is validating a high level TLA+ spec against as close to the actual system as possible, in particular fuzzing interrupt behavior using GDB and outputting high level trace events. GDB (and it’s python scripting api) is quite a nice universal interface for these purposes and allows me to actually run on the hardware via openocd. It quite a bit more likely one has an operating GDB setup compared to a formal spec of the hardware in question. * ⚓ Daphne Preston-Kendal ☛ crumbles.blog:_WTF_is_going_on_with_R7RS_Large? 2026_edition⠀⇛ Do come in and sit down.

Indeed, I’ve had to quit Scheme entirely. Let me tell you how this happened. Obviously, I’m a lot more personally (and emotionally) invested in telling the story this time than I was last time. It should go without saying that, like last time, this is my own view on what happened. * ⚓ JYN ☛ simple_is_not_small⠀⇛ I hope this post encourages you to write programs that are simple, not small, and to look for tools that you use that are unnecessarily coupled. In a future post, I hope to extend these ideas: how to develop your sense of taste; how programs can be vertically integrated while still being decoupled; and how to build large systems without making them complex. * ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_#059:_r2u,_Microsoft's proprietary_prison_GitHub_Actions,_a_Tragedy_of_the_Commons,_and_a_Fix⠀⇛ Welcome to post 59 in the R4 series. How did we get here: A initial words about Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub . GitHub_Actions provides (essentially unlimited) compute time. This further boosts a service already in a market-dominating position: GitHub1 as a code repository. Those of us old enough to remember the start of git (the program and protocol) may remember the extremely bare-bones initial hosting site repo.or.cz (launched in 2006). Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub came two years later, and put an enormous amount of focus into design and user interfaces. To cut a long story short, Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub won the services war. And with it git won the platform war. To a first approximation, everybody and everything is on Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub .>2 So the repository is already dominant.3 And then free compute was added. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Olaf Alders ☛ CPAN_Uploads_Are_Up_50%_Year-over-Year [Ed: Perl is like irc://. Even if not so many people use it, the very age and the longevity of it gives some sign of the low probability it'll just go away. iophk: Perl is also so very useful both regex and its very syntax, unfortunately for *some* who have no skill or discipline the syntax is flexible enough to make challenging to read code. Microsoft amplified that message for decades, but more accurately it is a Rorscharch Test of sorts Anyway, IMHO no other scripting languages are as quick to write, fun to write, flexible, and powerful. Some may excel at one or two of those characteristics but only Perl at all four.]⠀⇛ Wondering what impact LLMs are having on the CPAN ecosystem: a month over month comparison of Jan-Aug 2026 against 2025.

howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 05, 2026 * ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Chapter_1:_Why_Tmux?_Understanding_Terminal Multiplexing⠀⇛ If you have ever run a long command over SSH and lost it because your connection dropped, you already understand the pain tmux solves. * ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Chapter_3:_The_Tmux_Prefix_Key_&_Essential_Shortcuts⠀⇛ In the previous chapter, you started tmux and saw that it still feels like a normal terminal. You can run commands, work with files, and use your shell just as you normally would. * ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Chapter_4:_Sessions_-_Create,_Name,_Detach_and Reattach⠀⇛ So far, you have installed tmux, started your first session, and learned how the prefix key works. Now we get to the feature that makes tmux genuinely useful. Sessions. A tmux session is a workspace that can keep running even after you leave it. * ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Chapter_6:_Panes_-_Split,_Navigate,_Resize_and_Zoom⠀⇛ In the previous chapter, you learned how to use windows to organize different tasks inside a tmux session. Now let's make those windows more useful. Imagine you are working on a server and want to watch your application logs while running commands at the same time. Opening another * ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Chapter_7:_Copy_Mode_-_Scroll,_Search_and_Copy Terminal_Output⠀⇛ So far, you've learned how to organize your tmux workspace using sessions, windows, and panes. But there's one problem you'll run into very quickly. Your terminal can produce a lot of output. * ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Chapter_8:_Build_a_Real_Tmux_Workflow⠀⇛ So far, you have learned the individual building blocks of tmux. You know how to create sessions, organize work with windows, split windows into panes, move between panes, resize them, and use copy mode to work with terminal output. But knowing these features separately is different from actually using tmux. * ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Chapter_9:_Your_First_Tmux_Configuration⠀⇛ At this point, you can create sessions, organize them with windows, split windows into panes, navigate between them, resize and zoom panes, search terminal history, and build a complete tmux workspace. So why configure tmux at all? The answer is simple. * ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ LHB_GNU/Linux_Digest_#26.11:_New_Free_Course,_Named Pipes,_Multi-kernel_and_More⠀⇛ Enjoy the new course * ⚓ Marius Quabeck ☛ Self-Hosted_Matrix_Server_on_Raspberry_Pi_5:_Migrating 1,456_Chats⠀⇛ For nearly five years, Beeper kept almost all my messaging in one inbox. Then came its fight with Apple, the acquisition by Automattic, and an escalating corporate feud. I decided to take control. This is how I migrated 1,456 chats to a self-hosted Synapse server on a Raspberry Pi 5, complete with five bridges, monitoring, and tested backups. * ⚓ Cory Dransfeldt ☛ Friendly_names_for_private_services_using_Headscale, CoreDNS_and_DNSimple⠀⇛ When I started setting up private, self-hosted services one of the things I wanted to maintain was a pattern of friendly, human readable names to access them. I didn't want the overhead of bookmarking domains available via Tailscale's MagicDNS and I wanted real SSL certificates that were trusted and that clients wouldn't complain about. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Our_authentication_versus_authorization problem⠀⇛ All of this was fine in an environment where we had only one sort of account (and login), an account that could do everything. Such accounts appeared in the global /etc/passwd, appeared in the local /etc/passwd on every machine with NFS mounts, could be used for IMAP authentication (through the IMAP server's /etc/passwd) and web SSO authentication and so on. Then as time went by we started wanting special sorts of accounts that were not supposed to have this sort of full access. Accounts that were only there to use our VPN servers, accounts that were only there to authenticate to an outside service (which would send them email from time to time so they had to receive email but we didn't want them to send it from their account), accounts that hadn't been fully activated yet and so shouldn't be able to register machines for network access (or do some other things), accounts that should only be able to use a few systems, and so on. * ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ I_stopped_memorizing_Linux_commands_and_started_playing this_instead⠀⇛ I’ve worked through enough Linux command cheat sheets to know the usual routine. cd changes directories, mkdir makes one, rm removes things, and a few weeks later I’m back at the terminal wondering which command did what. There are plenty of Linux terminal commands that can make the shell feel less intimidating, but memorizing them from a list has never worked especially well for me. GameShell gives all of that syntax a place to stick. Instead of memorizing commands in a vacuum, I was climbing a castle tower, building a hut, clearing spiders out of a cellar, and shuffling coins around with the same commands I’d use in a normal shell. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2173 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/05/Ubuntu_24_04_splits_firmware_packages_for_faster_updates_and_Ca.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/05/Ubuntu_24_04_splits_firmware_packages_for_faster_updates_and_Ca.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ubuntu 24.04 splits firmware packages for faster updates and Canonical leaves IRC aside⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 05, 2026 * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_24.04_splits_firmware_packages_for_faster_updates⠀⇛ Firmware updates on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS have got smaller, as Canonical has backported the split GNU/Linux firmware packages it introduced in 26.04. To make the change in noble, the linux- firmware package is now a meta-package that pulls in all of the individual firmware packages. Functionally, nothing changes; all installs get the full whack. The binary blobs the distro uses are now split across 18 vendor-specific sub-packages: Some non-default firmware was already available to install as a sub- package, e.g., linux-firmware-xilinx-vcu, so those don’t change (but aren’t looped into the new metapackage). * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Canonical_shuttering_some_of_its_legacy_chat channels⠀⇛ Canonical is closing off some of its older tools and communications channels for users, although some may remain – just unofficially. Back in May, Canonical’s Aaron Prisk announced on Discord that the company was closing the Ubuntu Pastebin at the end of June. Now a comment from a different Aaron, Aaron Rainbolt, says that the IRC channels will follow. The official Ubuntu chat channels are now on Matrix – there’s an introductory site and under Step 3: Join the Ubuntu space there’s a Matrix link to Ubuntu’s area: you can either type / join #community:ubuntu.com or follow a Matrix link. (Note: the preceding link will only work if you have a Matrix client installed, and your browser can open it.) This isn’t unprecedented: the Linux Mint project did much the same back when Mint 22 came out a couple of years ago. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2231 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/05/Wine_11_17.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/05/Wine_11_17.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Wine 11.17⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 05, 2026 The Wine development release 11.17 is now available.
