Linux didn't upgrade the hardware, but it made it considerably more useful. A laptop I might otherwise have thrown away or left sitting in a cupboard is still a responsive desktop, a lightweight gaming machine, and capable enough to run software that did not even exist when I bought it.

an “Open in file manager” option to the Cloud projects tab. This release also improves accessibility by making the timeline and the track vertical rulers part of keyboard navigation, making toast notifications reachable by keyboard and announceable by screen readers, and ensuring the “Add effect” button is focused when opening the Effects panel.

Its presentation is inspired by the unified and split diff views commonly found on source-code hosting platforms, making changes easy to recognise without surrounding the comparison with a complete development environment. It can compare individual files as well as corresponding files within two directories. The project also serves as an implementation and demonstration of the linear-space variant of the Myers diff algorithm used by the developer’s fred editor. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ zsv_-_high-performance_CSV_processing_tool⠀⇛ zsv provides a broad collection of commands for selecting, transforming, inspecting and converting tabular data. Operations include counting and selecting records, running SQL directly against CSV data, flattening and stacking datasets, comparing files and converting data to formats such as JSON, TSV and SQLite. An interactive grid viewer is also included for examining datasets without first importing them into another application. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ image_to_console_-_high-performance_image_viewer⠀⇛ image_to_console is a command-line image viewer written in Rust which renders pictures directly inside compatible terminal emulators. It can take input from local files, remote URLs, encoded data, standard input or whole directories, making it useful both interactively and as part of shell pipelines. Depending on the terminal and selected mode, it can render with coloured Unicode blocks or use a native graphics protocol for higher-quality output. Optional functionality extends the program beyond static pictures to animation and video playback. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Matterhorn_-_feature-rich_Mattermost_client⠀⇛ Users can post, edit, reply to and delete messages, participate in threaded discussions, upload and download attachments and add emoji reactions. Matterhorn renders Markdown and can apply syntax highlighting to fenced code blocks, while integration with an external editor is available for composing messages. The application also provides extensive configuration options covering key bindings, colour themes, notifications and other interface behaviour. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ vy_-_interactive_JSON_and_YAML_explorer⠀⇛ vy integrates jaq-based querying, making it possible to experiment with filters while viewing the source data and results within the same application. It is useful for examining configuration files, API responses and other structured datasets where navigating deeply nested content can otherwise become cumbersome. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ gifski_-_high-quality_animated_GIF_encoder⠀⇛ The software uses pngquant techniques to create efficient cross-frame palettes and applies temporal dithering. This allows individual frames to make effective use of the limited GIF colour palette while reducing the banding and other artefacts often associated with animated GIF files. gifski can create animations from sequences of PNG images. It can also accept YUV4MPEG streams, which makes it straightforward to pipe decoded video from tools such as FFmpeg. Optional built-in video support is available when compiling with the appropriate FFmpeg components. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ vv_-_image_viewer_with_HDR_and_colour_management⠀⇛ Its rendering path emphasises image fidelity rather than reducing pictures to a small palette or heavily simplified character representation. The program handles colour profiles, transparency, high dynamic range material and vector artwork, and automatically scales images to fit the space available. It primarily targets terminals implementing the Kitty graphics protocol but also provides a lower-resolution textual fallback when that protocol is unavailable. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ podcast-dl_–_Download_and_Archive_Podcasts_from_the_Command_Line⠀⇛ I evaluated podcast-dl using CachyOS, an Arch-based distribution. The developer provides a standalone Linux x86-64 binary. Node.js is bundled with the binary, so there’s no need to install it separately. * ⚓ meld-rs_-_visual_diff_and_merge_tool⠀⇛ meld-rs is a visual diff and merge application built as a complete Rust rewrite of Meld. It uses GTK 4, gtk-rs, GtkSourceView and libadwaita to provide a native graphical interface for comparing source code, ordinary text files and directory trees. The application supports both two-way and three-way workflows and can also work with version-controlled repositories. It is still described by its developer as experimental software, so users should expect incomplete functionality and should not yet depend on it for critical merge work. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ poke_-_extensible_editor_for_structured_binary_data⠀⇛ poke is an interactive and extensible editor for structured binary data. Its central idea is to let users describe the organisation of data rather than work exclusively with individual bytes and offsets. The accompanying Poke language provides abstractions for decoding, examining, changing and encoding structures, making the software useful for executable formats, protocols, filesystem structures and other complex binary layouts. It combines an interactive environment with facilities for building reusable descriptions and standalone binary utilities. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ 4_Best_Free_and_Open_Source_PHP_Code_Formatters⠀⇛ Automating formatting removes much of the time spent making purely stylistic changes by hand. It also gives teams a consistent code style and keeps formatting discussions out of code reviews. This roundup selects the best free and open source formatting tools for PHP developers. Here’s our verdict captured in a legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart. Only free and open source software is eligible for inclusion. * ⚓ Matomo_Log_Analytics_-_import_server_logs_into_Matomo⠀⇛ It offers a server-side route to web analytics rather than relying exclusively on JavaScript executed in a visitor’s browser. Existing log files can be processed retrospectively, while standard input can be used as part of a pipeline for more immediate ingestion. The tool is particularly useful where administrators already retain detailed access logs and want to analyse those requests using Matomo’s reporting facilities. It can automatically recognise many common formats while still accommodating installations with customised logging layouts. This is free and open source software. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⢀⣠⣾⠿⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢟⣛⡻⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⡿⡿⢿⣦⠀⠀⢀⣾⡿⡿⢿⣦⠀⠀⣴⡿⢿⢿⣷⡝⣴⣿⢿⠿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣵⣿⢿⠿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⡿⣿⣿⢻⣿⠿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢫⣾⠿⡿⣿⣾⢿⢏⣾⡿⠿⢿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣷⣷⣿⣿⠀⠀⠸⣿⣷⣷⣾⣿⠀⡀⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⠏⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⠇⣿⣧⣿⣿⣾⣾⣿⡇⣿⣻⣿⣿⣷⣿⡿⢹⣿⣿⣷⣿⡿⢸⣿⣸⣿⣷⣷⣿⡿⠈⠘⣿⣷⣿⣾⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣽⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣀⣠⣬⣿⣿⣿⣥⡬⣛⣮⣿⣿⣿⣧⣬⣯⣿⣟⣿⣯⣼⣟⣟⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣟⣳⣽⣿⣿⣿⣤⣷⣽⣿⣿⣿⣤⣽⣛⣳⣽⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣀⣬⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣍⡛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠇⢰⡿⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠃⠸⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠈⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠹⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⡶⠖⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 636 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/30/BSD_Installing_Ubuntu_26_04_Server_in_an_OpenBSD_and_ThinkCentr.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/30/BSD_Installing_Ubuntu_26_04_Server_in_an_OpenBSD_and_ThinkCentr.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ BSD: Installing Ubuntu 26.04 Server in an OpenBSD and ThinkCentre Server With BSDs⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 30, 2026 * ⚓ TuMFatig ☛ What_about_ThinkCentre_M710q,_M720q_and_*BSD⠀⇛ Thanks to being subscribed to self-hosting and homelab feeds, I yet again was trapped by compulsive buying and collector’s impulse while browsing the local refurb marketplaces.

As it turns out, a bug caused people using a Chromium-based browser with KDE Plasma to run into some pretty nasty issues.

The goal is to provide an opt-in, in-memory cache for Denote. It can be used to speed up certain computationally expensive operations. It must be opt-in because there are many users, myself included, who do not need such functionality (I program because the challenge is fun, just how I did with denote- sequence, for example). I have a final update on this that I posted on denote.git issue 724 and am copying below. Any future changes will appear in the release notes of the next version of Denote. In short: it is happening. * ⚓ Mario Rufus ☛ 30_days_writing_C++_in_Zed_–_Paul_Mairo⠀⇛ I think I will keep using it more. 1 month is not enough to be very comfortable with a tool to the point of making a definitive judgment. * ⚓ Brett Chalupa ☛ The_Curious_Case_of_the_Helix_Editor_&_Why_It’s_My_Go- To_–_Brett_Codes⠀⇛ I gave Helix a spin, and it felt great to use right from the get-go. The keybindings are similar to Vim but different in some key ways. I used the built-in tutorial (hx --tutor) to practice using it. After a couple of weeks, I was comfortable and at a level of speed similar to when I used Vim. I’ve been using Helix for five months now and quite like it. It’s not perfect (no editor is), but it meets my needs. Helix is fast and requires minimal configuration. * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ Dasha_1.8:_index_recommendations,_I/O_analysis, schema_checks_and_log_insights⠀⇛ Dasha is an open source performance dashboard for PostgreSQL fleets. It connects to your clusters with a read-only role, shows what the databases are doing right now, and explains what to do about it. Nothing is installed on the database hosts: no agent, and no extension beyond the ones you already have. One instance serves many clusters and all of their replicas. Most PostgreSQL statistics are per-instance and are not replicated, so Dasha reads every host of a cluster and reasons over the combined picture. An index that looks unused on the primary may be serving the entire read workload on a standby. * § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ o ⚓ Document Foundation ☛ Welcome_Bogdan_Buzea,_new_LibreOffice_QA Analyst⠀⇛ The LibreOffice project does extensive testing of every major update before release. * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ Yash Garg ☛ IndiaFOSS_2026⠀⇛ This was my first time attending IndiaFOSS. It’s an annual conference held by FOSS United which tries to cover a variety of topics and bring together people of all age groups and diversity ;) There should be more such events! The 2026 edition took place on 26th and 27th of September at NIMHANS Convention Center and it was amazing! I had a blast talking to people, attending talks, and all the booths — the energy was unmatched 🔥 * § FSF / Software Freedom / Digital Sovereignty⠀➾ o ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_Blogs:_FSF_comments_on_Newsom's_executive_order_on_so- called_artificial_intelligence⠀⇛ Recently, California governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order to the California Government Operations agency. Gov. Newsom directed the agency to work with a panel of experts to investigate how feasible it would be to amend California state law in order to, among other things, mandate that the so-called artificial intelligence companies based in California include "kill switches" in their models, which would then be verified by an independent organization. Having control over the technology we use is a fundamental part of software freedom. Without it, you simply don't have the basic freedoms you deserve when doing any type of computing, large or small. Don't let "artificial intelligence" be an exception: all users everywhere deserve complete control over their own computing. * § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ o ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Zotac_denies_warranty_support_to_RTX_3060_owner in_India_after_just_one_year_despite_offering_three_years_of coverage_—_company_says_GPU’s_2023_import_date_takes_precedence over_purchase_date⠀⇛ The customer argues that the distributor's original import date is not something an ordinary buyer would necessarily know when making a purchase. They also pointed out that they registered the product within days of purchase and received confirmation from Zotac. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ Kelson Vibber ☛ Why_Gemini?⠀⇛ It makes the most sense to look at Gemini and Gemtext in terms of the Gopher revival it came out of. It’s less “what do we want to throw out from the web?” and more “what bits of the web do we really miss when building with Gopher?” So it ditches Gopher’s arcane menu syntax and strict menu/document hierarchy in favor of basic hypertext links that can be used anywhere. It adds word wrap, since we’re all using different-sized screens now, but makes it possible to keep ascii art/tables when needed. It welcomes global writing systems. Then it adds TLS for protection against eavesdropping. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 973 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/30/Games_Destroy_Any_Website_Godot_SteamOS_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/30/Games_Destroy_Any_Website_Godot_SteamOS_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Destroy Any Website, Godot, SteamOS, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 30, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Devil_May_Cry_HD_Collection⦈_ * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Destroy_Any_Website_is_a_browser_game_that_does_what_it says⠀⇛ Destroy Any Website is a browser-based run-and-gun that lets you run amok on any public-facing website – with an array of destructive weapons. You take command of a character and run, jump and jetpack around website site elements using traditional WASD controls, taking aim with your mouse to score points by blasting your chosen online target to literal tiny pieces. There’s even a competitive multiplayer mode that you pick a website, share a code with a pal and then race against each other to reach a target destruction score, replete with scoreboard to keep tabs on. * ⚓ Godot Engine ☛ Dev_snapshot:_Godot_4.8_dev_7⠀⇛ Feature freeze has arrived! * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ SteamOS_0.4.2_Beta_for_Steam_Frame_brings_streaming improvements_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Valve just put out SteamOS 0.4.2 Beta for Steam Frame, quickly fixing up more issues to hopefully give the early adopters a nicer streaming experience. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ D7VK_version_2.3_released_and_mature_enough_to_now_be in_maintenance_mode_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ D7VK is a Vulkan-based translation layer for Direct3D 7, 6, 5 and 3 for use with Wine / Proton, and with version 2.3 out now it's entering maintenance mode. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Valve_made_a_Steam_Frame_Dongle_troubleshooting_script for_Linux_gamers_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Are you one of the lucky people who got the new Steam Frame?

The demo is currently on the itch.io store, with plans for it to come to Steam in October in time for Halloween. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Devil_May_Cry_HD_Collection_will_now_work_properly_on SteamOS_/_Linux_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Capcom recently gave Devil May Cry HD Collection a small update, and as a result it will now work properly on SteamOS / Linux systems. The game is currently rated Unsupported on all SteamOS / Linux systems - due to a historical issue with the videos not working. Originally, they would completely crash the game with Proton. Later updates to Proton made them work, but the videos were upside down. The issue being the codec used, as the developer originally relied on Windows Media Video which doesn't work too well with Proton, but the latest update to the game changed them over to the more modern and open standard with WebM. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ The_deeper_you_go_the_darker_it_gets_in_the_roguelike shoot_'em_up_Earth_Atlantis_Abyss_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Earth Atlantis Abyss is a shoot 'em up roguelike about going deeper than is sensible, the dark depths look a bit spooky.

Check out my thoughts in the previous GamingOnLinux review. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ ACE_COMBAT_8:_WINGS_OF_THEVE_shows_online_play_not working_on_SteamOS_/_Linux_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE is now in Advanced Access, and while the single-player works the online play appears blocked on SteamOS / Linux. * ⚓ Valve_has_Made_a_Troubleshooting_Script_for_Linux_Steam_Frame_Users⠀⇛ It's been a few days since the Steam Frame dropped, and no doubt some of you have already gotten your hands on the device. But if you've been having trouble getting it working on your Linux setup, well, this handy little script made by a developer at Valve over on the SteamVR-for-Linux GitHub page may help you out. * ⚓ Devil_May_Cry_HD_Collection_is_now_compatible_with_SteamOS_and_Linux systems_after_a_Capcom_quick_fix⠀⇛ Owners of the Steam Deck, Steam Machine, or anyone else running SteamOS on their system can run the Devil May Cry HD Collection thanks to a small patch from Capcom. Interestingly, the official patch notes don’t make any direct reference to the Linux-based operating system, only mentioning Windows 11 compatibility and “miscellaneous bug fixes” in an update yesterday. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣄⢈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣶⣶⣀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⢈⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣟⡀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣶⣦⣬⣭⣨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⢿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⠀⠀⠓⠲⢞⡫⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⠒⠒⠚⢛⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣆⡀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃ ⠃⠀⠀⠀⠺⠟⠛⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡛⠛⠛⠋⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠯⠿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⢿⠏⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠲⣾⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⢓⣤⣤⣤⡀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠒⠙⠋⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀ ⣼⠇⠀⠀⠐⢺⣿⣿⣿⠏⣿⣍⠁⣴⣷⣿⢸⣿⣿⠸⡻⠾⠟⠱⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠒⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣄⠈⠋⠉⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡿⢰⠆⠀⢀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⢀⣿⣿⣿⡆⣿⣿⡗⠒⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⢹⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⡂⠀⠀⠁⢀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣅⡁⢸⣷⡌⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢐⡋⠉⠛⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠈⠉⠤⠾⠿⠿⢻⡇⣿⣿⡇⣶⣶⣶⣦⠀⣿⣾⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣧⢰⡆⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢸⣿⣧⣉⣷⠈⢉⠁⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣧⣤⣴⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡆⢰⣶⣶⠸⡇⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⢰⠛⠉⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢺⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⢿⣿⣀⣸⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠈⠀⠇⢸⣿⣿⠀⠇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣯⡇⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣡⣼⠀⢸⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⠏⢸⣿⣿⢇⠀ ⠆⣀⣒⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠀⠁⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠿⠇⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠿⡟⣣⣤⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⠃⢺⠓⣻⣿⣿⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠠⠂ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣶⡦⣴⣶⣤⢶⡤⠀⠀⣀⣤⠀⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣉⡉⠙⠛⣾⢿⣿⠿⠶⠿⢿⠏⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠄⡀⠀⠀⢰⡇ ⠛⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠃⢙⣉⣉⣀⡀⠀⠉⠙⢿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⣠⣭⣭⡀⠀⠀⠛⠛⢿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢿⣿⠷⠖⠤⠤⠤⠿⠦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠒⣾⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣿⣿⡛⠟⠋⠀⠀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⣠⣤⡄⢸⣿⣿⣷⣤⣤⣀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠻⠿⠖⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡈⠉⡉⢉⢀⢸⣿⣿⠛⠛⠓⠒⠂⠐⠛⠂⠀⠠⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠿⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢻⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⢩⣻⣿⡏⣇⠐⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡛⢷⣀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⡟⠳⠈⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠁⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠘⢢⡏⢠⡀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⠉⢤⣴⡿⠷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠏⠉⠀⠀⠀⢠⠅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠋⠁⠀⠀⠄⠠⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⡧⠙⠫⢳⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⢠⣤⣀⣼⣿⣶⡄⡁⠸⢇⣀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⢀⠠⢹⣿⠗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⡦⡀⠀⠐⠒⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠂⠀⠈⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠤⠚⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣴⣶⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⠶⠶⠾⠛⢻⣿⣟⢿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⡀ ⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣤⣤⣄⡒⠶⢾⢁⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠛⠛⠹⢿⣿⣿⡿⢋⠍⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠋⠁⠁⠀⠀⠀⣾⣧⠄ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠁⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣿⡿⠏ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1178 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/30/GNOME_CoC_OBS_and_Ubuntu_26_04_1_LTS.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/30/GNOME_CoC_OBS_and_Ubuntu_26_04_1_LTS.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNOME CoC, OBS, and Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 30, 2026 * § CoC⠀➾ o § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ GNOME ☛ Code_of_Conduct_Committee:_Announcement:_Missed_CoC reports⠀⇛ After connecting some dots, it came to our notice that some conduct reports written through the conduct.gnome.org form might have been silently lost.

Within days his Visa and Mastercard cards stopped working. His Amazon, Airbnb, PayPal and Expedia accounts were closed, and so was his Booking account, a company run from Amsterdam and owned in Connecticut. Parcels were refused when the carrier was UPS. He could no longer book a hotel or a trip online. He described it as travelling thirty years back in time. His Slovenian colleague Beti Hohler, sanctioned for the same warrant, had her Apple ID and iCloud blocked, and a European bank she had been with for decades closed her account the day after. None of this happened in America. It happened in the Netherlands, to European citizens, judges of a court that 125 states created by treaty, for doing their job. Thirteen of the Court’s judges, prosecutors and staff are now under the same sanctions, including, since August 2026, the Court’s own president. In February 2026, France’s president wrote to Washington asking for them to be lifted, for Judge Guillou and for Thierry Breton, a former European Commissioner targeted over the European Union’s own digital rules. Judge Guillou still cannot use his bank card, and no European institution has the power to give it back to him. That is what a client state looks like from the inside. It is comfortable, it is prosperous, and one morning a decision taken somewhere else arrives before your own, and there is nothing to do but wait. Six months later the same thing happened to all of us at once. On 28 February 2026, American and Israeli aircraft struck Iran, and within days almost nothing was moving through the Strait of Hormuz. Brent came within a whisker of 120 dollars in March, after the largest monthly rise on record. The International Energy Agency called it the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market. Nobody in Europe had been consulted, nobody in Europe had a vote, and European households got the bill. Four years after the gas shock of 2022, we found out a second time that we do not decide the price of our own heating. What independence means, and what it does not This post is about independence, which I define narrowly: no longer waiting to find out what Washington, Moscow or Beijing has decided about us this morning. Not autarky, not hostility, not walls. The simple capacity to say no, and to have that no mean something. The word I would use for what it restores is dignity.

It's what I heard a lot about when I first dipped my toe into the world of FOSS operating systems, and for good reason. Fast forward to today, and that has changed. Ubuntu isn't the beginner's dream anymore; not because it's bad, but because the world of Linux has evolved to make it easier than ever to get started.

The browser frame is cleaner, the sidebar plays a bigger role, and vertical tabs are a first-class layout. Your theme continues to load, and most color and image properties work as they did before. What does change is where those colors and images display, how some of them look next to each other, and a handful of properties that no longer have a visible effect. Most themes will look fine. Some, especially themes built around a background image, look different enough that you will want to take a look. This post walks through what changed compared with the Proton interface, what to check in your theme, and what is still being worked on. If you only have five minutes, jump to the checklist. * ⚓ Tor ☛ New_Release:_Tor_Browser_15.0.24_|_The_Tor_Project⠀⇛ This release is signed using a new subkey. If you previously used gpg to verify Tor Browser downloads, you may need to refresh the Tor Browser signing key (0xEF6E286DDA85EA2A4BA7DE684E2C6E8793298290) in your local keyring. For more details you can read our page about signature verification, specifically the section "Refreshing the PGP key". * ⚓ Mozilla ☛ More_modern._More_flexible._Still_Firefox.⠀⇛ What comes to mind when you think of Firefox? Is it our best- in-class privacy features and ad blocking capabilities? Our partnerships with Wrexham, NVIDIA or Mistral? Or maybe our adorable mascot Kit? * ⚓ Alexander Deplov ☛ How_to_Restore_Rounded_Tabs_and_the_Address_Bar_in Firefox⠀⇛ Firefox’s newer interface uses very round, pill-shaped tabs and an address bar. If you prefer the older, softer rounded look, you can restore it with a small userChrome.css file. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1684 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/30/Open_Hardware_and_Linux_in_Devices_Embedded.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/30/Open_Hardware_and_Linux_in_Devices_Embedded.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware and Linux in Devices (Embedded)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 30, 2026 * § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ o ⚓ Pimoroni ☛ Small_Scale,_Big_Impact:_Tiny_FX_Adds_Magic_to_Model Builds⠀⇛ Integrating a Tiny FX instead of a Raspberry Pi Pico into a 1:43 scale Land Rover Series 1 is an easy task for him, but he had to get creative in where to store the electronics routing the wires around the model. With a little patience and skill, everything was routed for a test. MicroPython code, written in Thonny, controls a flashing light sequence that emulates an emergency service vehicle of the era. He also coded static headlights and rear lights to sell the effect of a scale vehicle. o ⚓ Collabora ☛ AMD_Embedded_Computing_Summit_2026_in_Frankfurt⠀⇛ We’ll be in Frankfurt this Thursday for the AMD Embedded Computing Summit! See a live demo of our Hey Hi (AI) Magic Mirror for a touchless, real-time experience. * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ ESP32-C5_devkit_features_3.5-inch_touch_LCD, optional_camera_and_battery⠀⇛ Waveshare ESP32-C5-Touch-LCD-3.5 is another ESP32-C5 devkit with a built-in display, but equipped with a larger 3.5-inch color touch LCD and an optional BF3901 low-resolution (0.08 MP) camera and/or a 500 mAh battery. It also features a speaker connector and a built-in microphone for voice interaction, a 6-axis IMU  and a temperature and humidity sensor, a microSD card slot for additional storage, and a 32-pin GPIO connector for expansion. o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ NXP_FRDM-IMXRT1186_development_board_features_i.MX RT1186_crossover_MCU,_four_Ethernet_ports⠀⇛ NXP has just launched the FRDM-IMXRT1186, a development board based on the i.MX RT1186 crossover MCU for industrial automation, robotics, PLCs, and edge computing applications. The MCU uses a heterogeneous architecture with an 800 MHz Arm Cortex-M7 core for application processing and a 300 MHz Arm Cortex-M33 core for real- time control and communications. The board includes 64 Mbit HyperRAM, 512 Mbit HyperFlash, and 128 Mbit QSPI Flash, along with two Gigabit Ethernet ports for TSN switching and two Fast Ethernet ports for EtherCAT or TSN switching. It also features a USB Type-C OTG port and a CAN transceiver, while debugging is supported through an on-board MCU-Link debugger and JTAG connector. o ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Dual_2.5GbE_and_DDR5-6400_across_four_Wildcat_Lake NUC_platforms⠀⇛ ASRock Industrial has announced four compact platforms based on Intel Core Series 3 “Wildcat Lake-U” processors. The lineup includes the NUC BOX-320 and NUC BOX-304 mini PCs, alongside the NUC-320 and NUC-304 motherboards, with up to 40 TOPS of AI performance, DDR5 memory, dual 2.5GbE networking, and multi-display support for embedded applications. o ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Forlinx_20-TOPS_M.2_AI_accelerator_supports_PCIe cascading_for_local_LLM_inference⠀⇛ Forlinx Embedded has listed an M.2 AI accelerator card based on Rockchip’s RK1820 and RK1828 processors, providing 20 TOPS of INT8 computing performance and up to 5GB of integrated DRAM. The module uses an M.2 2280 interface and is designed to handle local AI inference, including large language models, vision-language models, and computer vision workloads on embedded Linux and Android systems. o ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Raspberry_Pi_Smart_Display_Module_available_now_at $30⠀⇛ Back in January, we introduced the Raspberry Pi Smart Display Module, an adapter board for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 that is designed to deliver high-quality, low- power display experiences for digital signage and other visual applications. Today, we are delighted to announce that the Smart Display Module is available to buy now from our global network of Approved Resellers. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ This_PICO-8_Handheld_Is_No_Fantasy⠀⇛ At its core, it’s a Raspberry Pi Zero2W. That’s rather overkill for an 8-bit virtual machine, but it’s what he had on hand, and it makes for an easy build. The real hero of the build is the 720 by 720 pixel IPS display that matches the PICO-8’s square aspect ratio and takes up most of the real estate on the handheld. Even better, it has HDMI in and sound support, so with some buttons and a battery the hardware is all there after [UncleStem] designs a handsome 3D printed case, and also has a go milling it out of aluminum before giving up and having a pro do it. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ The_FPGA_Chronicles:_Exploring_The_Tang_Nano_20K⠀⇛ Once upon a time, if you wanted to have a custom IC, you went with a wheelbarrow full of money to a semiconductor company. However, some smart person at a semiconductor fab eventually realized they could make a chip with a lot of uncommitted blocks on it and then, for a custom chip, only design the wiring that connected them together. This still required a wheelbarrow full of money, but it was a smaller wheelbarrow. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1834 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/30/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/30/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 30, 2026 * ⚓ Earthly ☛ One_canary_rule,_three_systems_to_reconcile⠀⇛ A canary setting can pass inspection while the next release skips the canary. The application changes in one repo, rollout configuration lives in another, and the service’s criticality is recorded in a catalog. The engineer making the change may never open the other two. * ⚓ Lonami ☛ Reinventing_the_wheel_to_draw_wide_tree_hierarchies⠀⇛ I recently spent a week trying to figure out how to display a very large inheritance tree on a limited amount of screen space. As great as libraries like D3 are to create hierarchies, trees or clusters, they tend to like to put all nodes of a certain depth or all leaf nodes together. This just won't cut it! Placing all nodes of a certain depth together will lead to very wide diagrams when there is a lot of siblings. Now, for this particular case, you could render the inheritance tree growing from left-to-right, as opposed to the usual top-to-bottom. But that's no fun. Trees were never meant to grow sideways. * ⚓ Réécoute ☛ My_experience_writing_automated_tests_for_a_SPA_|_Tech blog⠀⇛ I think I managed to build quite a nice and interesting test suite recently; I’ll do my best to describe it in this post. It’s basically just a bunch of notes, and the code is not open- source, but I think these explanations can have more value than raw source code, especially if you want to adapt some of these ideas for one of your own projects. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Rakulang ☛ Rakudo_Weekly_2026.39_Mainstreamed⠀⇛ A major step towards releasing the next language level of the Raku Programming Language (tentatively called “6.e”) has been achieved with the 2026.09 release of Rakudo: it makes the new Raku grammar/actions (based on RakuAST) the default when running Raku programs. o ⚓ [Old] MWL ☛ July’s_Janky_Sausage⠀⇛ So I wrote a simple Perl script to extract sponsor names and addresses from an export spreadsheet and send a confirmation mail to the sponsor. No, I’m not going to put this on github because 1) github takes money from ICE, and 2) some poor bastard might try to use it. When I order the sponsor gifts I’ll use the script to correct everybody’s shipping address. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Scientific Python Blog ☛ Blog_-_Making_np.searchsorted_up_to_25× Faster_in_NumPy_2.5⠀⇛ np.searchsorted is NumPy’s implementation of the binary search algorithm. This is one of the fundamental search algorithms and is used in the Python scientific ecosystem for functionality such as histogram computation and interval lookups. Any optimization benefits libraries such as SciPy and scikit-learn, as well as the broader Python scientific ecosystem. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1936 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/30/Red_Hat_Official_Site_Almost_Entirely_Promotion_of_Slop_Plagiar.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/30/Red_Hat_Official_Site_Almost_Entirely_Promotion_of_Slop_Plagiar.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat Official Site Almost Entirely Promotion of Slop Plagiarism and Fake Endorsement by Gartner⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 30, 2026 * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_we_cut_CI_failure_triage_from_hours_to_minutes_using_AI [Ed: Slop promotion]⠀⇛ 80 failed jobs, each with a trace log reaching 50,000 lines. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Red_team_your_Hey_Hi_(AI)_model_with_garak [Ed: More and more slop]⠀⇛ Your team just shipped an internal chatbot built on an open- weight model.

Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, is developing a voice typing application called Myna. * ⚓ PC World ☛ Want_your_photos_to_survive_for_decades?_A_digital_archivist explains_what_to_do⠀⇛ But unlike books and physical photo albums, it’s by no means a given that digital files will still be there or accessible in 25, 50, or 100 years’ time, just as you can’t leave a photo album out on the balcony and expect it to be intact many years later. The moral of the story is this: You need to look after your digital assets. But how to do that in a way that’s sustainable in the long term isn’t always obvious. How do the experts who work on preserving all kinds of information for the future go about it, and do they have any advice for us mere mortals? * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Terminfo_and_terminal_'automatic_margins'_(and modern_shells)⠀⇛ Yesterday I wrote about an unexpected difference in how terminal programs handled 'backward line wrapping', which is sometimes known as 'reverse wrapping'. At the time I said that I didn't think terminfo had a capability for this, and if it did it wasn't the 'bw' capability (which is also called the 'auto_left_margin' capability, to go with 'am', 'auto_right_margin'). It turns out the situation is more complex (in both xterm and other programs). ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2715 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/30/VolnOS_Ubuntu_based_Linux_desktop.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/09/30/VolnOS_Ubuntu_based_Linux_desktop.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ VolnOS – Ubuntu-based Linux desktop⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 30, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇VolnOS⦈_ Quoting: VolnOS - Ubuntu-based Linux desktop - LinuxLinks — VolnOS is a general-purpose desktop Linux distribution based on Ubuntu and built around Cinnamon. It presents Cinnamon in a Windows- style layout, with a conventional taskbar, Start-menu arrangement and familiar keyboard shortcuts. The defining part of the distribution is its integrated AI assistant. Rather than functioning simply as a chatbot, the assistant has tools for examining and operating the computer. It can inspect logs, check network status, search files, manage software and settings, and perform other system tasks. Operations that alter the machine display the command that will be executed and require approval.

There are workplaces where Windows is gone and GNU/Linux is visible. Many use Android phones and the back end typically runs some "kind of Linux" (they just call it all "Linux"). As shown above, Windows is now down to about 36% "market share" in the United Kingdom, at least based on Web usage that accesses Clownflared sites. █

tmux to help monitor bad bots hammering on the site (we serve an average of over a million requests per day this week) and while it shows the problem in real_time, it does not necessarily make it possible to effectively tackle. When we used Drupal such out-of-control bots were becoming a massive problem. A decade ago I'd literally run back home from the gym as the site became unavailable and require human intervention. That's how much we cared for the site and its community. Years ago I'd wake up several times per night just to check the site was serving pages without problems. Over time our team developed some software tools tailored for the site, in order to automate recovery. The Web has become untenable for many operations. It's just way too noise, malicious, wasteful etc. It's a "Wild West" of packets. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Wild_West_General_Store ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⣈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⢻⠐⠛⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣷⠉⠋⢟⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠋⠉⠓⠺⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⢠⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠄⠀⠀⠨⠈⠙⠿⢿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⢀⣤⣶⣶⣾⣦⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠀⠀⡀⢰⡈⢾⣿⣿⣿⠏⣀⣀⣥⣤⣼⣤⠦⠤⠓⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠋⠀⢀⣤⣴⡶⢾⣟⣛⣛⣉⣤⣬⣭⣽⣿⣷⠶⡾⠿⣛⣛⣛⣛⣏⠩⠭⠥⠤⠀⠒⣂⠂⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣍⠉⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣶⠶⣶⣿⣿⣛⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣛⡛⠻⣿⣏⣛⣋⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠠⠀⠃⠀⠒⢒⡀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠾⠿⠿⣿⣯⡍⠁⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣯⣭⣽⣿⣷⣶⣶⠿⢿⠏⢻⣿⣿⣷⡞⠉⠉⠉⠉⢡⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣟⣻⣯⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠉⣀⣁⣚⢋⡁ ⣥⣾⠿⣿⡗⠀⠀⢠⣤⡤⣀⣇⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⢿⢹⣿⣿⡗⣸⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⡆⠀⢸⢈⣯⣯⣭⣿⡇⠀⠀⢀⢀⣸⣀⣤⡄⠀⣛⣿⣿⣭⣭⣿⠀⠀⠀⠁⠉⣿⢻⣿⣿⣗⠘⠛⠛⠛⢋⡉⠀ ⠩⡄⢌⣿⣗⠀⠀⢸⣿⠿⣿⡧⣿⡏⠉⠉⠉⡇⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⢸⢸⣿⣿⡗⢼⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢨⠤⣷⣾⢾⢠⣿⣿⠷⠾⡇⠀⠆⠀⠀⣿⢿⣿⡇⠀⣭⣭⣭⣭⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣿⢾⣿⢿⡇⠘⣛⣋⣉⣉⣁⠀ ⣊⢁⣆⣯⡷⠀⠀⠨⠿⠟⣙⣇⣿⡇⠀⠀⢀⡇⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⢿⢸⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢨⢠⣿⣿⠜⠰⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠂⠀⠈⣿⠙⣟⠉⠀⣽⣿⣷⣶⣶⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⣐⣿⣸⣿⣿⡁⠐⣛⣛⣋⣉⠀⠀ ⣷⣿⢺⢻⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⡇⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣏⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣾⢽⣿⣿⡇⣹⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢀⣠⣧⣾⣆⠘⣛⣛⣟⣿⣀⣀⠠⢤⣴⣿⣾⣿⡇⠀⢲⡶⠾⠿⠿⠗⠐⠀⠐⠊⠉⠁⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣈⣈⣈⣉⣉⡅ ⣿⣯⣼⣪⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣯⣿⣷⣶⣶⣾⣷⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⡇⢼⣿⣿⠷⢒⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣃⣹⣭⣭⣥⣤⣥⣤⡤⠔⠲⣶⣶⡶⠶⠶⠶⠿⠿⢿⣾⣟⣛⣛⣛⢛⣃⣚⣛⣉⡉⠉⠉⠁⠈⠭⠥⠀ ⣽⠽⠼⠯⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡗⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣭⣭⣭⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⡶⠶⠶⠶⠾⠿⠿⠭⠭⠭⠭⠹⠋⢉⣙⣛⣙⣃⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⢤⡤⣤⣭⣭⣭⣥ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣩⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣭⣽⣶⡝⠛⠛⠛⠋⢉⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢜⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠉⠉⠁⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢀⣠⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠴⠶⠶⠶⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠋⠁⠐⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡅⢈⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⣠⡤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣤⠀⢠⣤⠀⠀⠀⠈⠓⠁⠀⠀ ⢀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⠟⠻⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢸⣿⢸⣯⡏⣩⣽⠉⣩⣿⢉⣤⣿⢨⣿⣿⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣸⣇⣸⣿⣇⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⢸⣿⡿⢸⣿⣿⢸⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⡈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠙⣟⡹⣿⡟⣎⠋⠐⠿⠃⠸⠿⠇⠸⡿⠟⢸⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢸⠤⠽⠿⣗⣹⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⢠⡴⣦⡀⠀⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣐⣒⣂⣶⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠘⡅⣫⢿⡗⣼⠀⠀⠀⢸⡔⣿⡾⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢹⠉⠉⠋⠹⡟⣽⢻⣿⠛⠛⠛⢛⠛⢻⡷⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣷⠿⢿⣿⢾⡟⣾⣿⡇⣇⣷⠀⢠⠤⣠⣤⣤⣤⡄⣠⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⡰⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡇⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣷⣾⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣯⣛⣿⣄⣠⣀⣀⣀⣈⠁⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠙⠃⠘⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠁⠀⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠓⣿⠶⠆⠀⠴⢤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣽⣇⣸⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣷⣶⠶⠾⠐⢶⣶⣤⣤ ⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶ ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2945 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 27 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
