Notes, Navidrome⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 10, 2026 * ⚓ Linux Links ☛ Autasker_–_flexible_offline_task_manager⠀⇛ Autasker is an offline graphical task manager with flexible repeating tasks, reminders, day planning, categories, habits and a canvas view. * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ BleachBit_6.0.4_brings_faster_scanning,_better_browser cleaning⠀⇛ A new version of BleachBit, an open-source system cleaning tool, is out. BleachBit 6.0.4 brings everything I mentioned in my spot on the BleachBit 6.0.4 beta release, including macOS support for the first time – albeit in an early state, and including a Cleaner for Safari and a choice of the (neat) BleachBit CLI or an early GUI. backdoored Windows and GNU/Linux users all benefit from faster startup times and scanning speeds, and gain new cleaners for Android Studio, Gradle’s cache, fish and Zsh shells and Python CLI. * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Privacy_Notes:_Markdown_Editor_With_Built-in_Encrypted Vault⠀⇛ Privacy Notes offers different kinds of templates, secret vault, burn after reading and an optional zero-knowledge encrypted sync. There is no dearth of note taking apps for Linux. There are tools like Obsidian that are local first, tools like Joplin that are both local and cloud. There are also collaborative tools like Etherpad that put encrypted notes on a remote server. And then I come across a new tool this week called Privacy Notes. It mixes several things at once and tries to be the "one note app to rule them all". It is Markdown-first with WYSIWYG editor, vault for storing passwords, ssh keys etc, journal and more. * ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Navidrome_metadata_tips⠀⇛ I’ve talked about how Clara and I use the Navidrome self-hosted music streaming service here. It’s great! This isn’t an installation guide, more an aggregated post of various tips and ideas. § Essential tooling We use the Kid3 audio tagger for editing track metadata and cleaning up filenames. It’s free, cross platform, and works well. We sometimes use Musicbrains_Picard as well to help identify tracks. Our music server runs on a Samba_share, so we edit them directly, then move them into the appropriate folders for Navidrome. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 342 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/10/Arch_Linux_is_not_hard_to_install_by_the_way.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/10/Arch_Linux_is_not_hard_to_install_by_the_way.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Arch Linux is not hard to install, by the way⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 10, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Arch_Linux⦈_ Quoting: Arch Linux is not hard to install, by the way — Have you ever wondered why Arch Linux users can’t stop mentioning that they use Arch, by the way? Did you want to try Arch Linux yourself, but then saw the technically demanding installation process and told yourself, “Oh, that’s why”? Well, I’m happy to tell you that Arch Linux is no longer as hard to install as it used to be — and hasn’t been for some time now. Even if you don’t come from a technical background, you can install and set up Arch in an afternoon.

If the answer is not already in its cache, the resolver follows the DNS hierarchy, querying root servers, top-level domain servers and ultimately the authoritative server responsible for the requested domain. It then returns the answer to the client and usually caches the result so future requests can be answered more quickly. This differs from an authoritative DNS server. An authoritative server stores and serves DNS records for domains under its control. It does not normally search elsewhere for an answer. A recursive resolver, by contrast, is concerned with finding answers, validating them where appropriate, and returning them to users or applications. The terminology can be slightly confusing because a recursive resolver is itself a type of DNS server. The important distinction is the role it performs. Recursive resolvers may also provide caching, DNSSEC validation, access controls, filtering, encrypted DNS support and policy features. Running your own resolver can provide greater control over DNS behaviour, privacy, security and performance. Here’s our verdict on the finest recursive DNS resolvers captured in a legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart. Only free and open source software is eligible for inclusion. * ⚓ Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Alternatives_to_Adobe_Substance_3D_Designer⠀⇛ Substance 3D Designer is Adobe’s material authoring application. It uses a node-based workflow to create procedural textures, seamless materials, patterns, image filters and environment lighting. Graphs are non-destructive and parametric, allowing individual stages to be changed without rebuilding the material from scratch. The software can generate multiple texture outputs from the same graph and provides a large collection of noises, generators, filters and other building blocks. This makes it particularly useful for creating reusable PBR materials rather than painting a single texture directly onto a model. Unlike many Adobe applications, Substance 3D Designer does have Linux support. Adobe currently supports RHEL for enterprise users and Ubuntu through the Steam edition. However, it remains proprietary software. We recommend the best free and open source alternatives. * ⚓ LocalGo_-_LocalSend-compatible_command-line_file_sharing⠀⇛ LocalGo is a command-line implementation of the LocalSend v2.1 protocol. It provides secure cross-platform file sharing between LocalGo and compatible LocalSend devices, with support for device discovery, direct transfers, clipboard sharing and browser- based downloads. It is particularly suitable for terminal users, servers and headless systems where a graphical LocalSend client is unnecessary. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Dionaea_-_honeypot_for_capturing_exploit_and_malware_activity⠀⇛ Dionaea is a network honeypot built to attract hostile traffic and record what attackers do when they encounter apparently vulnerable services. It was conceived as a successor to Nepenthes and is particularly suited to collecting information about automated attacks, exploitation attempts and malicious network activity. Rather than concentrating solely on usernames and passwords, Dionaea exposes a broad collection of network services that attackers and automated scanners can interact with. This makes it useful for observing exploitation behaviour across several classes of service from a single deployment. Its architecture also embeds Python as a scripting language, allowing functionality to be extended without implementing everything in the core. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ worldclock-tty_-_real-time_terminal-based_world_clock⠀⇛ worldclock-tty is a terminal-based world clock that displays local time alongside multiple time zones in real time. It is particularly useful for users working with people or systems spread across different regions, providing a compact view without requiring a graphical application. Time zones are configurable using standard IANA names, while display options cover sorting, time formats, UTC offsets, colours, themes, military time, and refresh intervals. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ OpenCanary_-_modular_multi-protocol_network_honeypot⠀⇛ OpenCanary is a lightweight network honeypot designed to reveal intruders who are exploring systems they should not be accessing. It runs as a daemon and presents decoy network services that look potentially useful to an attacker. Interactions with these services are recorded and can generate alerts, providing an early indication of reconnaissance or lateral movement inside a network. The software is deliberately economical with resources, making it practical to distribute multiple sensors around an environment rather than relying on a single large honeypot. It can run on modest virtual machines and low-power hardware. Operators select the services they want to expose and customise their behaviour through configuration rather than maintaining deliberately vulnerable applications. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Tasks_–_simple_task_manager_for_the_COSMIC_desktop⠀⇛ Tasks is a graphical task management application designed for the COSMIC desktop. It provides a straightforward way to create, arrange and find to-do items while following COSMIC interface conventions. The program supports reminders, search, manual ordering and list organisation, with recovery options for deleted material. It is available through Flathub and can also be built from source using Rust and libcosmic. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ NPBackup_-_secure_and_efficient_file_backup_solution⠀⇛ Probably one of the most important software applications, but often neglected, is the backup program. The best Linux backup software will keep you covered when you accidentally delete files, or when a disk bites the dust. Backup software protects a variety of file types, including documents, databases, photos, music, and videos. Backup software provides an automated solution for creating, managing, and restoring data from backups. There are different types of backup software including full backup software, incremental backup software, and image backup software. NPBackup is a backup application aimed at both system administrators and desktop users. It builds on the established restic backup engine, adding graphical and command-line interfaces, configuration management, scheduling, monitoring and support for multiple repositories. Backup repositories remain fully compatible with restic. * ⚓ Lumalarm_-_smart_alarm_clock_that_wakes_your_computer_from_sleep⠀⇛ Lumalarm is a smart alarm clock designed specifically for Linux. Unlike conventional alarm applications that require the computer to remain running, Lumalarm can suspend the machine using rtcwake and schedule it to wake shortly before an alarm sounds. It also offers mechanisms intended to make dismissing an alarm more deliberate, including typing and mathematical challenges and follow-up checks to confirm that you’re still awake. The interface is built with Qt Quick and is highly customisable, with particular attention paid to compositors and tiling window managers. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Talisman_-_detect_sensitive_data_before_Git_commits⠀⇛ Talisman is a command-line security tool designed to stop sensitive information leaving a developer’s workstation through Git. It examines outgoing changesets for material that looks suspicious, such as passwords, tokens and private keys, and is commonly used as a pre-commit or pre-push hook. It can also run as a standalone executable, making the same checks available outside the normal Git hook path. The emphasis is on catching mistakes early, before credentials reach a shared repository where remediation becomes more difficult. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Kactus2_-_graphical_EDA_tool_based_on_the_IP-XACT_standard⠀⇛ Kactus2 is a graphical Electronic Design Automation toolset for designing systems-on-chip. Its focus is on improving IP reuse and integration across hardware and software development. It works with IP-XACT descriptions and supports both the IEEE 1685-2014 and IEEE 1685-2022 standards. Kactus2 can package existing intellectual property as reusable IP-XACT components, build hierarchical hardware designs, describe connections between components, manage memory maps, and integrate software with the underlying hardware. It is not intended for behavioural logic, synthesis, or simulation; these stages are left to specialised tools. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ clock-rs_-_modern_digital_clock_for_your_terminal⠀⇛ clock-rs is a modern digital clock for the terminal. It is designed as an alternative to tty-clock, adding extensive configuration together with timer and stopwatch functionality. Settings can be stored in a TOML configuration file while individual values can be overridden from the command line. The clock supports major desktop operating systems and adapts well to both permanent terminal displays and occasional use. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ typa_-_minimal_terminal_typing_speed_test⠀⇛ typa is a lightweight terminal user interface (TUI) application for testing and improving typing speed. It offers a keyboard- centric alternative to browser-based typing tests and supports several testing modes covering ordinary words, quotations, and source code. The program reports typing speed and accuracy in detail after each run. It also maintains typing history and supports multiple languages, configurable themes, and command-line options for quickly constructing a test without navigating menus. This is free and open source software. ⠀⢀⠀⣀⢀⣀⠀⣀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠠⠤⠤⠴⠄⠠⠠⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠤⠴⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠤⠦⠤⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠼⠿⢿⢿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⠿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠒⠚⠂⠘⠐⠃⠀⢀⠀⠰⠶⠶⣶⣶⡶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠘⢃⣷⣼⣦⣾⣄⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀ ⠀⠈⢉⣁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⡅⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠁⠂⠲⠒⡍⢹⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠄⠀⠀⠉⣉⢹⣿⠿⡉⠁⠀⠀⢀⣠⣄⣈⣀⣀⣀⡀⠰⠶⠶⠶⠶⠀⠀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠿⠟⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠊⠉⠉⢙⣿⣿⣟⠁⠀⠒⠭⠘⠃⠀⢀⢀⠀⠀⣶⣄⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣷⣤⣤⣤⣤⠾⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡅⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣧⣤⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠒⠒⠒⠐⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⡂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠬⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⢹⡇⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⠁⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢛⢛⡛⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⡰⣛⠒⠖⠒⠶⠖⠀⠀⠰⠀⢸⡇⠀⢰⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⡆⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⡈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⢚⣿⡛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⡀⠀⡤⢀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠈⠀⠸⠿⠶⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⡇⠀⠈⠉⠛⠋⠉⠙⠉⠙⠋⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀ ⠀⢨⡍⣽⡉⣹⣷⣦⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⡆⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⡰⣿⢶⡶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠿⠦⠄⠀⠀⠶⣶⣶⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠠⠤⡤⠤⡤⡄⠠⠤⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣟⠂⣷⣆⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⢁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⠛⠀⠈⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠛⠁⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻⡇⠀⠀⢰⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡄⠀⢠⣾⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣁⠀⢠⣤⣀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣧⠀⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⠀⠀⣸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⡿⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡄⠀⣤⣄⣠⠂⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠩⠽⠿⠉⠀⠀⠛⠛⢻⣿⠃⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠶⠶⠆⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠤⠄⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⢸⠇⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣐⠒⠒⣶⣶⡶⢗⠀⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣄⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣤⣾⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠸⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠈⠁⠀⣀⣀⣠⠹⠛⠛⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠐⠒⠀⠀⠚⠂⠐⠂⠂⠂⠒⠂⠀⠈⠒⠂⠐⠂⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠀⠃⠀⠐⠂⠉⠀⠀⠃⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 744 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/10/BSD_GNU_Linux_Distributions_and_Other_Operating_Systems.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/10/BSD_GNU_Linux_Distributions_and_Other_Operating_Systems.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ BSD, GNU/Linux Distributions and Other Operating Systems⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 10, 2026 * ⚓ HaikuOS ☛ GSoC_2026_Final_Report_|_Modernizing_Haiku's_Bluetooth_Stack: HID_Profile_Implementation⠀⇛ Hello! Finally, GSoC is done for me. This is the final report for my project. The project was focused on improving the Bluetooth stack and making it useful. Hopefully, the Bluetooth stack is now in a much better state than before GSoC 2026. It still needs much work to be fully developed. However, currently Bluetooth mice and keyboards are functioning. In addition, the core of the stack is ready for implementing other profiles.

The distribution integrates the hardware enablement needed to make Linux practical on supported Apple hardware, rather than expecting users to assemble the necessary kernel, graphics and platform components themselves. KDE Plasma is the flagship desktop environment, although a GNOME edition is also available. Minimal and Server images cater for users who want to build their own environment or run a system without a conventional graphical desktop. The distribution uses a Wayland-based desktop environment and benefits from extensive work on graphics, audio and other Apple- specific hardware.

Its main job is to collect credentials submitted by attackers rather than reproduce complete vulnerable systems. It presents a collection of familiar authentication services, waits for connection and login attempts, and records the resulting session information for later analysis. That narrow scope makes Heralding useful when the primary interest is discovering the usernames and passwords being tried by bots, scanners and human attackers. The collected information can help reveal common credential dictionaries, targeted usernames and changes in brute-force behaviour. Session-level data provides additional context so authentication attempts need not be examined as isolated events. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Zephyr_-_lightweight_modular_Zsh_framework⠀⇛ Zephyr is a fast, lightweight and modular Zsh framework. Rather than expecting users to adopt one large opinionated configuration, it provides independent features that can be selected à la carte and combined with a modern Zsh plugin manager. The project draws ideas from Prezto and other Zsh frameworks while focusing on speed, simplicity and composability. Its plugins cover core shell behaviour including completion, history, editing, directory handling, environment setup and prompts. Zephyr can be loaded as a complete framework or used selectively, and it is designed to coexist with other plugins. Configuration uses Zsh’s zstyle mechanism instead of relying heavily on environment variables. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ HPR_–_automatic_offline_activity_tracker⠀⇛ HPR (Human Pattern Recorder) is an automatic activity tracker that monitors the active window and builds a detailed record of how you spend time on your computer. It works offline and does not require an account, with collected activity data stored locally. The program offers a native graphical interface and supports multiple Linux desktop environments and window managers. It can track applications, browser tabs and coding projects, while its Insights view analyses historical activity to reveal focus patterns and changes in working habits. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ PodFetch_-_self-hosted_podcast_manager_with_gPodder_integration⠀⇛ PodFetch is a self-hosted podcast manager delivered as a web application. Rather than relying on a hosted podcast service, it keeps podcast management on infrastructure you control while making the library available through a browser. It is intended to cover both acquisition and consumption, bringing downloaded episodes and listening activity together in one place. Its integration options also make it useful when the browser is not the only client, allowing an existing podcast application to remain part of the workflow. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Autasker_–_flexible_offline_task_manager⠀⇛ Autasker is a graphical to-do list and task manager focused on flexible personal planning rather than rigid productivity rules. Tasks can be organised into categories and tabs, repeated according to individually configured schedules, and brought into a daily plan when the application is opened. The program works fully offline without requiring an account, keeping task data on the user’s device. Its design aims to be comfortable and neurodivergent-friendly. It supports Linux, Windows and Android. This is free and open source software. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣻⣭⣭⠵⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠩⠉⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⠃⠀⠀⠉⠀⠠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠘⡄⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠂⠤⣄⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⡆⠀⡀⠤⠤⠀⠀⠤⠤⠴⠒⣂⣄⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⡖⠛⠛⠹⠏⠀⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢢⠀⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢩⠿⠖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠳⡙⢹⣿⠗⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠈⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1271 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/10/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/10/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free, Libre, and Open Source Software Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 10, 2026 * ⚓ Johnny Decimal ☛ JD_CLI_updated:_now_creates_filesystem_folders⠀⇛ Now if you try to jd 11.11 to a folder, and that folder doesn't exist, and your JDex is readable by the CLI – i.e. Markdown files on disk, i.e. Obsidian - then it'll create the folder for you. * ⚓ D2: Declarative Diagramming ☛ TALA_is_open-source_|_D2_Documentation⠀⇛ TALA is a novel autolayout algorithm designed with software architecture diagrams in mind. This means it's primarily an orthogonal layout engine, which more closely matches what you might find on whiteboards, rather than the DAG-based ones that grow in one direction. It blends ideas from different graph- drawing research papers (cited in source code) along with original techniques to achieve aesthetic diagrams. It considers multiple objectives of "aesthetic", including symmetry, median distance, flow, clustering of like nodes, and much more. I'll keep the text short and lead with examples. * § Web Browsers/Web Servers/Feed Readers⠀➾ o ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Web_form_invalid_validation⠀⇛ A few years ago talked about the bizarre and frustrating trend of websites prematurely_validating_text as you’re typing, for no (good) reason: One character? That’s not a valid email! Two characters? That’s not a valid email! n characters? And now you’ve finished typing in that field, and its lost focus as you go to the next field? You must be done typing now. Huh. I guess you did have a valid email in mind after all. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ It’s_GNU_Radio_Companion,_But_In_The_Browser⠀⇛ Loading it up gives you a very familiar window if you’re used to GNU Radio Companion, and it comes with a set of example flowgraphs that cover a large range of applications. It supports a collection of software- defined radios (SDRs) including the well-known RTL-SDR, and if that’s not enough it can also use your sound card. There is even a set of recorded off-air captures to experiment with. * § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ LibreOffice_Base_survey_results⠀⇛ Heiko Tietze has published_a_blog_post summarizing the results of a recent_survey about the use of LibreOffice's database application, Base. 455 people participated in the survey, including more than 330 who use Base on Linux, with use cases ranging from maintaining records of personal media such as CDs or DVDs to use enterprise- resource planning (ERP) and finance. * § FSF / Software Freedom / Digital Sovereignty⠀➾ o ⚓ EFF ☛ Digital_Sovereignty:_What_It_Is,_What_It_Could_Be⠀⇛ There is no singular definition of digital sovereignty, nor is there a single coherent position in the digital rights space. Despite its growing popularity, the term remains frustratingly vague. Policymakers, regulators, civil society groups, and others can mean very different things when they use the term. But to start simply with a broad definition, we can say that it means having the capacity to control one’s digital destiny—though the implications of that will obviously differ considerably whether you’re talking about an individual or a country. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1383 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/10/Games_Valheim_1_0_Microsoft_Losing_Gamers_FVCKAsha_Phil_Release.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/10/Games_Valheim_1_0_Microsoft_Losing_Gamers_FVCKAsha_Phil_Release.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Valheim 1.0, Microsoft Losing Gamers, ‘FVCKAsha&Phil’ Released⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 10, 2026 * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ STEINS;GATE_RE:BOOT_Review._Yet_Another_Remake?⠀⇛ It’s going to be somewhat of a long story. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Viking_afterlife_open-world_survival_game_Valheim_1.0 is_finally_here_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ After ~5 years in Early Access, the viking inspired open-world survival game Valheim has now officially launched with the new Deep North biome to finish it up. [...] They also worked with Brikk Animation on a fancy new cinematic to introduce new players to the world of Valheim. On top of that - there's also new cinematics for when you slay bosses throughout the game and a secret extra cinematic to somehow find. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ I_love_the_chunky_control_panels_in_the_spaceflight simulator_In_Control:_Rocketry_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ In Control: Rocketry was revealed by Maximum Entertainment where you have to build and wire up control panels to control space rockets. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Bad_House_fuses_together_auto-battling_and_dungeon- crawling_beneath_your_new_house_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Developer Andrew Morrish (Kingsway) and publisher The Arcade Crew (Drop Duchy, Abyssus) which is Dotemu's indie publishing division announced Bad House, a genre-blending, auto-battling adventure. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Check_out_'I.T._Never_Ends',_a_dark-comedy_workplace horror_game_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Some jobs feel quite hellish right? But I.T. Never Ends makes it literal in a darkly comedic blend of office grind and indie horror. I.T. Never Ends is a desktop simulator about working IT support for a company run by cosmic horrors. Players diagnose increasingly impossible technical problems, make binary decisions with consequences, and uncover the larger mystery hiding beneath the company's cheerful corporate systems. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ In_the_horror_roguelite_500_FINGER_FILLET_you_have_to save_your_fingers_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Giving me flashbacks to the scene in Aliens where the Android Bishop does a knife trick inbetween the fingers of Hudson - check out 500 FINGER FILLET. An upcoming indie game from DEADBODY Games that will release sometime later this year, there's a demo available on Steam you can try right now and it should work great with Proton on SteamOS / Linux. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Civilization_VII_charts_a_course_to_the_future_with_the free_Arc_of_Tomorrow_update_and_Earthrise_DLC_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Some big upgrades are coming in future to Civilization VII, with Firaxis Games outlining their upcoming content plans including free and paid expansions. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ The_classic_free_No_More_Room_in_Hell_gets_a_massive update_with_64-bit,_Vulkan,_Steam_Networking_and_more_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Time to give No More Room in Hell another spin?

It's the direct sequel to the award-winning science-fiction action-adventure game Free Stars: The Ur-Quan Masters (based on Star Control II). The demo is available now for Linux, macOS and Windows on Steam and GOG. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Age_Verification_for_Steam_rolls_out_in_Australia requiring_a_Credit_Card_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Valve have rolled out Age Verification requirements on Steam in Australia for 18+ content, requiring users to keep a Credit Card on their account. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Microsoft_reportedly_gives_secret_Xbox_Game_Pass discounts_to_churned_subscribers_to_reel_them_back_in_—_targeted_offers slash_up_to_30%_off_the_regular_price [Ed: "Don't let us" bribes]⠀⇛ Microsoft appears to be using dynamic pricing to push select users to commit to Xbox Game Pass. * ⚓ GO Media ☛ Person_Fed_Up_With_Xbox_Named_‘FVCKAsha&Phil’_Just_Leaked_An Alleged_Prototype_Of_The_Canceled_SNES_RPG_That_Became_Banjo-Kazooie⠀⇛ It appears a playable build of Rare’s canceled SNES fantasy RPG, Project Dream, has suddenly surfaced online. Fans have been desperately wanting to see more of the game that eventually led to the development of the N64 classic Banjo- Kazooie for years. As to why the prototype has leaked now, well, the person taking responsibility says it has to do with being unhappy about the state of the game industry and, in particular, Xbox’s “mismanagement of Rare” and “support and approval of literal genocide in Gaza.” ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1536 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/10/GIMP_3_2_6_Released_with_UX_Improvements_New_Rotation_Stylus_Dy.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/10/GIMP_3_2_6_Released_with_UX_Improvements_New_Rotation_Stylus_Dy.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GIMP 3.2.6 Released with UX Improvements, New Rotation Stylus Dynamics Input⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Sep 10, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GIMP_3.2.6⦈_ Coming almost five months after GIMP 3.2.4, the GIMP 3.2.6 release introduces a new dynamic input for painting, which is used in the original Wacom Art Pen, as well as newer Wacom Art Pen 2 pens, allowing GIMP to react to how you have rotated the brush in your hand as you draw. GIMP 3.2.6 also brings various UX improvements, including the ability to cut the same section of all layers in a group, support for the Color Picker tool to include any filters applied to a single layer when selecting colors, faster loading with large font libraries, and initial preparations for GTK4 porting.

It did have another life on Atari home computers, but it’s the DOS version that provided the code for [Tomaz Stih]’s Linux port of the GEM graphical desktop — which isn’t a WM or DE for X or Wayland, for the record. It is entirely it’s own graphical display that will live in the framebuffer of a minimal Linux installation.

Istio_1.31_was_released_on_the_31st_of_August, 2026, and support for 1.29 will end on the 12th of October, 2026. At that point we will stop back-porting fixes for security issues and critical bugs to 1.29, so we encourage you to upgrade to the latest version of Istio (1.31). If you don’t do this you may put yourself in the position of having to do a major upgrade on a short timeframe to pick up a critical fix. * ⚓ Kubernetes Blog ☛ Kubernetes_v1.37:_Introducing_Node_Lifecycle Conditions⠀⇛ Kubernetes has many ways to describe what is happening on a Node. Readiness, taints, Pod state, labels, annotations, and provider-specific Hey Hi (AI) each expose part of the picture. What has been missing is a shared, Kubernetes-owned way to say that a Node is draining, undergoing maintenance, or undergoing Graceful_Node_Shutdown. * ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ I_ran_Proxmox_for_a_week,_and_it_changed_how_I_use_my server_PC⠀⇛ Making your very first home server can be a bit of a process, but it’s something that (should hopefully) pay off in the long run. It also makes for a rather fun project. After building a budget AM4-based home server, it was finally time to settle on an operating system. Since this was primarily going to be used as a homelab, I decided to try out one of the many popular choices out there — Proxmox. Proxmox also happens to be very good at virtualization, which is something I wanted to try out as well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠿⠿⠟⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡿⠟⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠐⠶⠶⠟⠛⠃⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣖⣂⢠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠁⠀⠐⢲⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠉⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⡛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢀⡀⢠⠀⠈⢀⡄ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠘⣧⣾⣶⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠐ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡟⡻⠛⣁⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣻⣿⣻⣟⣿⣽⣿⠿⠿⠿⠓⠚⠛⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⡠⡄⣠⠠⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⡀⠂⠰⠐⠀⡂⢈⠁⢄⠀⠂⢀⠂⡀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠉⠉⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1748 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/10/I_tested_5_daily_PC_tasks_to_see_if_Linux_is_actually_harder_th.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/10/I_tested_5_daily_PC_tasks_to_see_if_Linux_is_actually_harder_th.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ I tested 5 daily PC tasks to see if Linux is actually harder than Windows⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 10, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Zorin_OS⦈_ Quoting: I tested 5 daily PC tasks to see if Linux is actually harder than Windows — How-To Geek logo Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents: I've been in the Windows camp for decades, and for years I thought Linux was simply harder to use. That was a pretty common view among Windows and Mac users, and for a long time, it was fair. That's not really the case anymore. Distros like Zorin OS have gotten far more user-friendly, so I wanted to see how they hold up against Windows in the kinds of tasks I do every day.

The amount of CPU time that is actually available does not change, though, so heavy activity on too many virtual CPUs can lead to contention and significant performance loss. The steal governor patch series from Shrikanth Hegde is an attempt to address that problem with a mechanism that allows virtual machines to voluntarily reduce the number of virtual CPUs they use when contention is high. From a virtual machine's point of view, contention for a physical CPU is clearly an undesirable thing. When contention occurs, the physical CPU will be unavailable at times when the virtual machine is trying to make use of it; that slows the execution of the workload. The situation can be worse than that, though, if a virtual CPU is preempted while holding locks needed elsewhere in the same virtual machine. At that point, threads that do still have access to a physical CPU may waste their execution time spinning on locks that the preempted CPU is no longer able to free, with possibly severe effects on performance. That is the sort of situation that causes customers to reconsider shared hosting. # ⚓ LWN ☛ The_rest_of_the_7.3_merge_window_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ By the time Linus Torvalds released 7.3-rc1 and closed the merge window for this release, 15,267 non-merge changesets had been pulled into the mainline repository. That is the second-highest commit count for an -rc1 release in the kernel's history; only the 6.7-rc1 release, which included nearly 3,000 commits of bcachefs history, had more. About 13,000 of those commits entered the mainline after the first 7.3 merge-window summary was written so, needless to say, there are a lot of changes to cover. # ⚓ LWN ☛ Securely_suspending_LUKS-encrypted_disks_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ When a laptop is asleep, its memory is not unreadable. The right tooling can attach to the computer's memory bus and read out its contents, and cold-boot attacks can theoretically read values from memory for a short time after the computer loses power. That is really an unavoidable fact about the hardware, but some users would still like to ensure that, even if this happens, their long- term encryption keys, such as the key for full-disk encryption, remain unreadable. In June 2026, Ingo Blechschmidt discovered that Linux kernel versions after 6.9 (released in May 2024) were not erasing disk-encryption keys when a laptop was put to sleep, even when configured to do so. He quickly identified a potential fix, which has been merged, but it was not a comprehensive solution. # ⚓ LWN ☛ A_note_on_subscription_prices_from_LWN_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ The online publication industry, as a whole, is struggling, with challenges coming from multiple directions. Thanks to the support of all of you, our readers, LWN would appear to be doing better than most. But the world has changed around us and, in particular, prices have changed considerably. By now, you probably know where this is going: subscription prices at LWN will be increasing as of September 15. We adopted the subscription model in late 2002; it was one of the best decisions we have ever made. This model makes us independent of the volatile (and surveillance-driven) advertising market and aligns our interests with those of our readers. But it does depend on support from those readers; if you have not yet subscribed to LWN, please consider doing so now — our subscribers are the only reason we continue to exist. o § Desktop Environments⠀➾ # § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Governing_GNOMEs:_how_the_project's_technical decision-making_is_evolving_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Emmanuele Bassi kicked off a project to improve GNOME's technical governance with a presentation about his ideas (video) at GUADEC 2025. His nudging has led the project to, slowly, work on creating more formal structures for technical governance. It is adopting a teams structure and looking toward creating a steering committee, as well as bootstrapping a Request for Comments (RFC) process. If adopted, GNOME would require RFCs for design, user experience, architectural, and other changes that carry a major impact on the project. * § Development⠀➾ o § Programming⠀➾ # § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ A_pause_for_the_Python_JIT_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ In 2024 the Python 3.13 release added an experimental just-in-time (JIT) compiler to optimize the way that CPython executes Python code. Since then, work has proceeded on the JIT, albeit perhaps less formally than some might like. In June, Python's steering council (SC) put out an announcement that no new development on the JIT land (with the exception of bug and security fixes) in Python's main branch, until it accepts a Python Enhancement Proposal (PEP) that would make the case for the JIT as a supported part of CPython. That has led to the creation of PEP 836 ("JIT Go Brrr: The Path to a Supported JIT Compiler for CPython"), which is currently under discussion. As it stands, it seems likely that work on JIT will continue, but when that will happen is less certain. # § Rust⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ The_"rnull"_Rust_block_driver_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ The null block driver (null_blk) is a small driver that is mostly useful for benchmarking block-layer implementations. It accepts all requests and marks them complete as quickly as possible, doing as little work as possible. In June 2026, Andreas Hindborg shared a patch set implementing the same functionality in Rust, in order to show that a simple block driver is now possible to write using the kernel's Rust APIs and to enable comparisons between the C and Rust implementations. A minimal version of the "rnull" driver is already present in the mainline kernel, but Hindborg's patch set brings it up to feature parity with the C version. * § GAFAM⠀➾ o § Proprietary / Vendor Lock-in⠀➾ # ⚓ Bizzard_Workers_Secure_One_of_Gaming's_Biggest_Union_Wins [Ed: Uniting against Microsoft management]⠀⇛ In spite of the major releases and announcements that have punctuated 2026 so far, the overall attitude in the gaming sector, business-wise, is a bit more mixed. Costs are rising on both the production and consumer ends of the equation, and as the gains from the COVID-era gaming booms slide back to pre-2020 levels, layoffs have been mounting at an alarming rate in studios and publishers both large and small. It’s in this tumultuous period that unions have become very important for those working in the industry, and why the latest victory by Blizzard Workers Union is so heartening. # ⚓ Bizzard_Workers_Secure_One_of_Gaming's_Biggest_Union_Wins⠀⇛ In spite of the major releases and announcements that have punctuated 2026 so far, the overall attitude in the gaming sector, business-wise, is a bit more mixed.

Two years ago, we started working on a broader goal: evolve the Autobase Console from a PostgreSQL deployment UI into a platform for managing the complete cluster lifecycle. With this release, the remaining major pieces of that roadmap are now in place - scaling, upgrades, backups, and point-in- time recovery can all be managed directly from the Platform UI. See the full details in the release_notes. § Scaling (read replicas) Scale PostgreSQL read capacity directly from the UI. Simply specify the desired number of cluster nodes, and Autobase will provision the additional replicas automatically using the existing cloud configuration. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2463 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/10/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/10/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 10, 2026 * ⚓ Var Zero ☛ Post-Mortems_and_Accountability⠀⇛ Post-mortems are one of those things that most software teams have learned to do almost automatically. Something breaks, an outage happens, data is lost, everyone gets together afterwards and tries to figure out what went wrong. They're familiar enough that we rarely stop to ask what the meeting is actually for. I think that's a problem because I've seen post-mortems turn into something they really shouldn't be: a place to assign personal responsibility. * ⚓ Sandor Dargo ☛ C++26:_Module_improvements⠀⇛ C++20 introduced modules as a - potential - fundamental shift in how we organize and consume C++ code. Sadly, the adoption has been slow — build system support lagged, compiler implementations were incomplete and diverging, and some of the original design decisions created unnecessary friction. C++26 addresses some of these pain points with three targeted fixes. * ⚓ Olaf Alders ☛ Who_Handles_Your_Security_Reviews?⠀⇛ I’ve had a closer look at what’s happening in the world of OSS security these past few months, and I’ve seen firsthand where vulnerabilities are turning up. What I find particularly surprising is that it’s not just in legacy code. CVEs are also turning up in brand new code that’s being uploaded right now. Just because we now have more tools at our disposal doesn’t mean that security issues are a solved problem. * ⚓ Daniel Lemire ☛ A_quick_overview_of_atomics_in_C⠀⇛ If you write in C, by default, you use a single thread. Extra cores do not help until you create more threads. However, if you include the header , you can pass a function to thrd_create, and wait for it with thrd_join. * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_RcppXts_0.0.7_on_CRAN: Minor_Maintenance⠀⇛ A new maintenance release 0.0.7 of RcppXts is now on CRAN, and has been built for r2u. The RcppXts package demonstrates how to access the export C API of xts which we contributed a looong time ago. There are by now a more example packages around this C level access to another package, but this one was an early This release is strictly maintenance, updating continuous integration, the README.md file and other packaging conventions adopted since the last release four years ago. o ⚓ R Studio Data Lab ☛ How_to_Create_a_Function_in_R:_Custom_Median &_ggplot2_Examples⠀⇛ If you've written the same block of R code three times this week — a group summary, a plot, a cleanup step — you don't need another package. You need a function. A custom function is the solution. For example, two functions you'll actually reuse: a custom median() built from scratch, and a reusable ggplot2 function that plots group means for any variable in any data frame — the kind of thing that saves real time across dissertation chapters. o ⚓ Thierry Moudiki ☛ ahead_(Time_Series_Forecasting_with_uncertainty quantification)_gets_a_lot_faster_to_install:_most_dependencies_are now_optional⠀⇛ ahead supports a lot of forecasting methods, and each one can lean on a different modeling package: forecast, randomForest, e1071, glmnet, gam, quantreg, vars, fGarch, VineCopula, mboost, ranger, ForecastComb. Historically, most of these were plain Imports in DESCRIPTION, which means R installs all of them before you can even load the package — regardless of whether you plan to use ahead:: dynrmf with a random forest or ahead::ridge2f for a multivariate model with none of the above. o ⚓ Rlang ☛ ahead_(Time_Series_Forecasting_with_uncertainty quantification)_gets_a_lot_faster_to_install:_most_dependencies_are now_optional⠀⇛ * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Eric Matthes ☛ In_defense_of_temporary_variables⠀⇛ There are two main reasons I tend to use temporary variables. First, I'm often just trying to work out how to accurately extract the data I want from a source. That often looks like writing a line like this: [...] * § Perl⠀➾ o ⚓ Olaf Alders ☛ Sort_Your_Perl_Imports⠀⇛ perlimports can now sort your imports. If you like to see your list of imported libraries in alpha-sorted order, you're in the right place. o ⚓ Russ Allbery ☛ Russ_Allbery:_podlators_v6.1.1⠀⇛ podlators is the package containing Pod::Man, Pod::Text, and other tools for converting POD documentation into manual pages and simple text documents. * § Java/Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Chris Smith ☛ Lego,_ACME_DNS-01,_and_negatively-cached surprises⠀⇛ Recently a friend was deploying Centauri, my reverse proxy service that can obtain TLS certificates using ACME DNS-01 challenges. He asked a seemingly innocent question: “When Centauri is ‘waiting for record propagation’ is there an option to increase the time?” But that’s a question with a hidden, concerning XY problem. We both use the same DNS provider, and it definitely shouldn’t take more than a minute to see a DNS record after it’s been created. Plus, I don’t have issues with it timing out! * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Rust Weekly Updates ☛ This_Week_In_Rust:_This_Week_in_Rust_668⠀⇛ Hello and welcome to another issue of This Week in Rust! o ⚓ LWN ☛ A_decade_of_Rustls⠀⇛ Joe Birr-Pixton has written a_blog_post reflecting on a decade of the Rustls TLS-library project and looking ahead to the upcoming 0.24 release and an eventual 1.0 release. Rustls began with a_first_commit on May 2, 2016. Progress was quick: a month later, on June 5, it could interoperate with most sites on the web. The first release, 0.1.0, followed on August 27, 2016 – less than four months after the first commit. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ Max Glenister ☛ Antiquated_CSS_and_why_we_needed_it⠀⇛ I came across a catalogue of antiquated HTML snippets and artefacts, the kind of markup we just accepted as necessary in the &t;head> of every site. It got me thinking about the CSS side of that same period, the stylesheets rather than the markup. My first job in 2009 was building marketing campaign pages for an electronics distributor’s B2B storefront, where dropping IE6 was not a conversation anyone was going to have. Developers eventually landed on one clean way to target different IE versions, but getting there took a lot of less elegant detours. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2679 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/10/Red_Hat_Still_Morbidly_Obsessed_With_Promotion_of_Slop_Plagiari.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/10/Red_Hat_Still_Morbidly_Obsessed_With_Promotion_of_Slop_Plagiari.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat Still Morbidly Obsessed With Promotion of Slop Plagiarism⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 10, 2026 * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ The_Lightwell_reality_check⠀⇛ On the Lightwell team, we’re excited, too. Lightwell can solve a real and suddenly urgent problem for our customers. It is, however, only part of the answer. A clearinghouse service alone won’t magically fix your security posture. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_sponsors_the_OpenClaw_Foundation_to_advance an_open_future_for_production_AI_agents [Ed: IBM made Red Hat all about slop boosting, not freedom, just plagiarism and bots]⠀⇛ The value of OpenClaw lies in its persistence. It automates tasks and workflows independently, using system integrations to act directly on a user’s behalf. As enterprise developers adopt autonomous agents from single laptops to distributed environments, they need to address enterprise IT infrastructure and security requirements. We are excited to contribute to this community and provide expertise in enterprise AI, cloud-native platforms, and open source. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Beyond_container_boundaries:_Kernel-level_agent security_in_Red_Bait_OpenShift_Hey_Hi_(AI)_3.5 [Ed: All about slop again]⠀⇛ 77% of organizations now have Hey Hi (AI) agents running in production. The adoption curve is steep. The governance curve is not. Agents operate over-permissioned and often without full security sign-off. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Deploy_NeMo_Guardrails_on_Red_Bait_OpenShift_AI [Ed: Slop, not Free software]⠀⇛ This is part 3 in a 3-part series on local guardrail development and evaluation. In the 1st_article, I looked at how to design and develop a guardrail configuration on a local machine, and then tried some manual testing. In the 2nd article, I explored how to rigorously test a guardrail against popular large-scale risk datasets. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_AI_3.5:_Scaling_and_governing_AI_agents_in production [Ed: Red Hat is all about slop now, not Linux]⠀⇛ The release provides verifiable safety evidence before deployment, operational controls for shared AI infrastructure, a clear path from data to autonomous agents, and built-in observability for complete performance and cost transparency across hybrid cloud environments. Built on open architecture and to integrate with your existing infrastructure, Red Hat AI 3.5 helps organizations operate AI as a trusted shared, multi- tenant service anywhere your data resides. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Rafay_and_Red_Hat_publish_joint_reference architecture_for_sovereign_AI_cloud_as_a_service [Ed: Mindless slop hype to help IBM participate in the bubble]⠀⇛ Built on Red Hat's foundational AI and multi-tenant cloud platform, the architecture integrates Rafay to add the self- service commercial workflows service providers need to resell that platform to their own customers. It is a validated blueprint, not a positioning document. It names the components, defines the capabilities at each layer, and traces a tenant request from SKU selection through to a metered GPU environment. You can read it in the Red Hat Architecture Center. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Accelerating_post-quantum_security_migration_with Red_Hat_Certificate_System [Ed: The "quantum" hype]⠀⇛ The quantum transition is not a future upgrade. It is an active, structural vulnerability requiring immediate architectural attention; the US government is considering classical cryptography as a vulnerability. National Security Memorandum 10 and the subsequent Executive Order 14412 (Securing the Nation Against Advanced Cryptographic Attacks) alongside OMB Memorandum M-26-15 categorize traditional, classical public-key (asymmetric) cryptography as an active security vulnerability that must be inventoried, phased out, and replaced across government systems and critical infrastructure. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2790 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/10/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/10/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 10, 2026 * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Wednesday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (expat, glib2, microcode_ctl, mrtg, pam, redis, thunderbird, and valkey), Debian (fort-validator, gst-plugins-base1.0, kernel, and slurm- wlm), Fedora (complyctl, libevent, openvpn, and tar), Mageia (dovecot and spice-vdagent), Red Hat (ignition, opentelemetry- collector, and osbuild-composer), SUSE (amazon-ssm-agent, aws- nitro-enclaves-cli, bzip2, cadvisor, chromium, curl, distribution-registry, emacs, freeciv, fuse-overlayfs, gh, google-guest-agent, GraphicsMagick, hauler, insighttoolkit- devel, java-17-openjdk, libidn, libusb-1_0, libvirt, libvncserver, libzypp, zypper, lkl, lxd, multipath-tools, NetworkManager, perl-Net-DNS, perl-URI, python, python-authlib, python-sqlparse, python-tornado, python3, rpcbind, supergfxctl, systemd, terraform-provider-null, ucode-intel, wget, wireshark, and xen), and Ubuntu (curl, ffmpeg, glibc, hsqldb1.8.0, imagemagick, perl, and vim). * ⚓ Qubes_Canary_048 [Ed: Using NSA platform for a "Canary" is misguided]⠀⇛ We have published Qubes_Canary_048.

The malware shows signs of being a second-stage payload that was likely deployed after exploiting CVE-2025-53521, a critical remote code execution (RCE) flaw that F5 Networks reclassified from a DoS problem in March. * ⚓ Help Net Security ☛ Hackers_deploy_Linux_rootkit_on_F5_BIG-IP_APM devices,_hiding_web_shell_in_memory⠀⇛ A rootkit found on hacked F5 BIG-IP APM devices skips the usual step of writing a web shell to disk, hiding it in memory instead, according to Sophos. F5 BIG-IP APM provides access policy enforcement to secure access to apps, APIs, and data. It’s primarily used by enterprises, financial institutions, government agencies, and public sector organizations. * ⚓ Security Affairs ☛ PoisonedRefresh:_A_Fileless_Linux_Rootkit_That Injects_PHP_Web_Shells_Into_F5_BIG-IP_APM_Server_Memory⠀⇛ PoisonedRefresh rootkit injects PHP web shells into F5 BIG-IP APM Apache memory, leaving no disk artifacts. SophosLabs published a detailed technical analysis on September 8, 2026, of a Linux implant, dubbed PoisonedRefresh by ESET, they found in compromised F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager environments. Sophos tracks it as Linux/Agnt-IC. F5 has confirmed exploitation of the underlying vulnerability and links the activity to a cluster it tracks internally as c05d5254. * ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ FTC_rescinds_policy_requiring_health_apps_to_notify customers_after_a_breach⠀⇛ The policy, passed under the Biden administration, forced health apps to disclose when users’ personal health records were exposed in a breach or shared without authorization. * ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Chinese_espionage_groups_swarm_to_exploit_triple- link_chain_of_zero-days⠀⇛ Multiple China-aligned threat groups exploited the defects quickly to target various organizations. Proofpoint said the activity is ongoing and expects it to widen. * ⚓ SANS ☛ Scans_for_Proxmox_Servers,_(Wed,_Sep_9th)⠀⇛ About a week ago, Proxmox published an advisory revealing a vulnerability in older versions of Proxmox VE, its flagship Virtual Environment product. The vulnerability only affects version 7, which has not been supported for a couple of years now. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Fortinet_Patches_Critical_Vulnerabilities_in FortiMonitorOnSight,_Chrome_Extension⠀⇛ The critical, unauthenticated bugs allow attackers to bypass authentication and proxy a user’s browser traffic. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ ICS_Patch_Tuesday:_Schneider_Electric,_Siemens_Fix Critical_Flaws⠀⇛ AVEVA and Rockwell Automation also released patches for vulnerabilities affecting industrial control system products. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Android’s_September_2026_Updates_Patch_180 Vulnerabilities⠀⇛ The security updates resolve critical flaws across Android’s Framework, System, and Kernel components. * ⚓ A_Tailored_Approach_to_Meet_National_Security_Objectives:_How_the_FCC Can_Protect_Innovation_and_Supply_Chains⠀⇛ * ⚓ Pen Test Partners ☛ Passing_the_bucks_$$$:_Passback_attacks_explained⠀⇛ Default printer configurations are common to find in internal infrastructure engagements. These configurations are usually insecure, exposing outdated protocols like SNMPv1 and web interfaces without requiring authentication. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ This_Key_Will_Self-Destruct:_An_Open_Standard_for Revocable_API_Keys⠀⇛ Every leaked credential should be dead, or dying, within sixty seconds of being found.

Every few weeks, I must content with subpar UI ergonomics, mostly because, for some silly reason, people in the tech world believe that pale gray text on gray background represents the pinnacle of human design. Case in point, Firefox 151, where I showed you the necessary CSS tricks to get the address bar to be white. Why so, you ask? Because I like my contrast, and I don't like the world to be one giant blob of depressing gray. Colors exist for a reason. The brutalist concrete fad needs to stop. A few days ago, boom, another Firefox, this time 153 (and by now, 155). And once again, they changed the class and id declarations ever so slightly. Urlbar this, urlbar that, so annoying and inconsistent. Disheartening, and also a waste of time. If I want a normal look and feel, editing the defaults does not seem to be the right choice. Well, Firefox has supported theming since forever, allowing you to clad your browser in the colors you want and like. Technically, problem solved. Except, what if you don't want themes from random people, but rather, only something officially released by Mozilla? Follow me.

Linuxize ☛ How_to_Fix_APT_and_dpkg_Lock_Errors_on_Ubuntu_and_Debian⠀⇛ Resolve APT and dpkg lock errors safely on Ubuntu and Debian by finding the process holding the lock and repairing interrupted package operations. * ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_LibreDB_Studio_on_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ Every database admin eventually hits the same wall. * ⚓ dwaves.de ☛ spanning_tree_protocol_(stp)⠀⇛ * ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ Moomin_and_nfo_files_for_Jellyfin⠀⇛ Since I now have nephews, I figured it would be a good time to digitise the old collections to put into my personal media server in case we need emergency Moomins to watch with the kids since I won’t be bringing the DVDs (and a DVD player) with me on every trip. I use Jellyfin to stream my personal files and usually it’s very hands off in discovering the metadata for tv shows and episodes. The challenge with Moomin is that when Yleisradio dubbed the Japanese animations to Finnish, they skipped three episodes because they felt they weren’t quite appropriate. So the information in sites like IMDB is not quite as usable. * ⚓ Declan Chidlow ☛ My_HTML_Boilerplate⠀⇛ In the years since HTML 2.0’s 1995 debut, the web has changed massively. However, there is a saying in the web standards world: ‘Don’t Break The Web’. There are some exceptions, but on the whole a website developed at the web’s inception should work in a modern browser, regardless of how much time has passed. To keep this compatibility, however, risks making changes impossible for fret of breaking existing sites. One way the web combats this is with certain elements that are expected in HTML documents. If the element is present, then it uses the new functionality. If not, it simply falls back to the old functionality. Pair that with what different integrations and systems across the web expect, and it means that there is rather a lot of ‘boilerplate’ – code that is repeated across almost every new or maintained site. HTML boilerplate commonly both opts in to modern functionality and also sets site preferences and details. Assorted things such as how the site should embed on social media, what styles should be loaded, how the browser should theme surrounding the site, and other such details. * ⚓ [Old] phsBlog ☛ My_Favourite_SSH_Configs⠀⇛ A relatively new feature added to OpenSSH (in version 9.4) is "tagging" - you can add a tag to a host, then match that tag to apply configuration to all hosts with that tag. This makes it easier to keep your configuration DRY and consistent. * ⚓ [Old] Mike Rodrigues ☛ OpenSSH_Config_Tags_How_To⠀⇛ OpenSSH is one of my favorite pieces of software. I try to keep up with the new features and changes and noticed something interesting in the OpenSSH release notes for version 9.4 about config tags. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ This_one_Linux_setting_is_capping_your_Wi-Fi_speed_far below_your_router's_rating⠀⇛ A Wi-Fi router can advertise hundreds of MBs, yet your Linux laptop may deliver a fraction of that speed. Before replacing the router, changing channels, or blaming the wireless adapter, there is one Linux setting worth checking. Linux puts a wireless interface into power-saving mode to optimize battery life. On a laptop, that can make sense when battery life matters more than maximum network performance. The problem is that power-saving behavior can also introduce latency, reduce responsiveness, and, with some wireless hardware and drivers, interfere with achieving the best possible throughput. * ⚓ Hacker Noon ☛ Debugging_a_Linux_Boot_Failure_Caused_by_a_Chromebook's SD_Card_Controller_Race_Condition⠀⇛ I recently dual-booted Ubuntu onto an old Chromebook by installing it to an SD card, keeping ChromeOS intact on the internal storage. The install went fine. Then I rebooted, and hit a wall. Every single time, the boot process would get partway through, throw an ALERT! UUID=... does not exist, and drop me into a bare (initramfs) recovery shell. The only way out was to physically pull the SD card out, push it back in, and type exit. Then it would boot fine, until the next reboot, when the whole thing happened again. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3623 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/10/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/10/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 10, 2026 * § Desktop/Laptop⠀➾ o ⚓ System76 ☛ Accelerate_Your_AI_Development_with_the_New_Thelio Mira_AI [Ed: System76 resorts to slop marketing and what seems like slop images]⠀⇛ System76’s high-performance computers have always met the challenges of AI, but with the Sept. 9 launch of the Thelio Mira AI, our customers can now purchase a lower- cost Thelio workstation that’s optimized for AI development and local AI workloads. * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ Graham Cluley ☛ Smashing_Security_podcast_#484:_How_websites_are tracking_you_with_silence⠀⇛ When a chap called Matt noticed his Bluetooth headphones wouldn’t switch to his phone, he was surprised to realise the reason was a single AliExpress webpage sitting open in his browser – playing nothing at all, at zero volume. And yet somehow his hardware could hear it. Audio fingerprinting is one of the sneakiest tracking tricks on the web. o ⚓ Ava ☛ wonders_of_web_weaving_podcast_episode_with_me!⠀⇛ A while ago, a request for a podcast appearance made me seriously consider if I am comfortable with that. While that initial invitation didn't work out (still very grateful, and maybe in the future!), it also opened me up to be on James' podcast, Wonders Of Web Weaving! o ⚓ Wonders of Web Weaving ☛ #18:_Ava_(avas.space)_-_Wonders_of_Web Weaving⠀⇛ The personal web needs representation, or at least consideration, on an EU level. I know some want to gatekeep the personal web and the indie web, but the internet is seen by legislators as commercial (on the big platforms) and there’s missing awareness about what else is out there. No one is aware of our needs, or people like us get caught in these requirements. We should embrace what the personal web can offer: the experimentation spaces the big platforms have, niche communities, cultural diversity, and the act of democratic participation: being able to independently publish without being scared the platforms will remove it. That’s digital sovereignty that’s undervalued. * § Kernel Space / File Systems / Virtualization⠀➾ o ⚓ XDA ☛ AI_helped_a_Linux_developer_find_bottlenecks_in_the_kernel, but_the_code_it_made_to_fix_it_was_"hideous" [Ed: Slop is not coding, it's a lazy person's way to generate noise like fuzzing]⠀⇛ Recently, we saw Linus Torvalds fix a bug using AI, and Debian maintainers voted to allow LLM code submissions as long as the submitter takes full responsibility. Now, a kernel developer reported that they used an LLM to locate a nasty bottleneck bug, but it turns out the AI was a far better spotter than a fixer. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3724 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/10/Ubuntu_24_04_5_LTS_Is_Now_Available_for_Download_with_Linux_7_0.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/10/Ubuntu_24_04_5_LTS_Is_Now_Available_for_Download_with_Linux_7_0.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS Is Now Available for Download with Linux 7.0 and Mesa 26.2⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Sep 10, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Ubuntu_24.04.5_LTS⦈_ Coming six months after Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS, the Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS point release is here as an up-to-date installation medium, which includes all the latest software updates and security patches, for those who want to deploy the long-term supported Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) operating system on new computers without having to download hundreds of updated packages from the repositories after the installation.

While Ubuntu 24.04 and Ubuntu 24.04.1 shipped with Linux 6.8, Ubuntu 24.04.2 added Linux 6.11, Ubuntu 24.04.3 added Linux 6.14, and Ubuntu 24.04.4 added Linux 6.17, so Linux 7.0 should add an extra layer of hardware support.

The distribution uses KDE Plasma running on Wayland as its desktop environment. Rather than presenting users with an essentially blank Arch installation, UrsaOS supplies a curated desktop with its own Aurora visual theme, SDDM login screen and a selection of applications intended for everyday desktop use. Btrfs is the default filesystem, with a subvolume layout suitable for system snapshots. The project also develops some software specifically for the distribution, including BearHub, a graphical package manager, and BearWave, an internet radio application.
