█▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Best Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Oct 04, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇syntax_tree_illustration⦈_ * ⚓ Syntax_Tree_-_Ruby_formatter_and_syntax_tree_toolkit⠀⇛ Syntax Tree is a toolkit for parsing, inspecting, transforming and formatting Ruby source code. Rather than being limited to producing consistently styled source, it represents Ruby programs as syntax trees that other development tools can inspect and manipulate. This wider scope makes Syntax Tree useful both as an end-user formatter and as infrastructure for programmers building source-code tooling. It exposes its functionality through a command-line interface and Ruby APIs, with facilities covering structural inspection, transformation, searching and editor integration. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Arid_-_fast_duplicate-code_checker_for_Python⠀⇛ Arid is a command-line tool that detects duplicated source code in Python projects. It provides a focused alternative to Pylint’s R0801 duplicate- code checker and is intended to complement broader tools such as Ruff. Arid analyses Python syntax rather than simply comparing raw text, allowing it to identify duplicate blocks while retaining accurate locations in the original source. It can be used interactively during development or incorporated into automated quality checks. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Hello_Contest_-_amateur_radio_contest_logger⠀⇛ Hello Contest is a graphical amateur radio contest logger with a particular emphasis on CW operation on the HF bands. Its workflow is designed around rapid keyboard-driven entry during a contest, when reducing unnecessary interaction with the mouse can make logging considerably more efficient. Contest definitions supply the scoring rules while the application combines logging with radio integration, callsign information and operating aids. The interface is built with Qt and the application stores its log data using Protocol Buffers. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Palpo_-_high-performance_Matrix_homeserver⠀⇛ The server uses PostgreSQL for data storage and the Salvo asynchronous web framework. PostgreSQL provides familiar database administration, backup and replication facilities, while allowing storage to be managed independently from the application. Palpo also employs caching and database query optimisations to reduce resource usage. Palpo supports Matrix federation and is tested with the Matrix Complement end-to-end test suite. Deployment options include building directly from source or using Docker containers. The project targets Linux as well as macOS and Windows through WSL2. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ DNSViz_-_analyse_and_visualise_DNS_and_DNSSEC_behaviour⠀⇛ The suite separates data collection from interpretation. A domain can first be probed and the raw results saved as JSON, then assessed or rendered later without repeating the network queries. This workflow is useful for troubleshooting live DNS configurations, examining DNSSEC validation chains, and testing proposed changes before they are deployed publicly. Stored probe data can also be reused to generate different forms of output without querying the target again. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ 4_Best_Free_and_Open_Source_PKI_and_Certificate_Authority_Tools⠀⇛ PKI is widely used for securing websites and network services, authenticating users and devices, encrypting communications, signing software and protecting software supply chains. It is particularly important in environments where systems need a reliable way to prove identity or verify that data has not been altered. These tools are used by system administrators, security engineers, DevOps teams, software developers, infrastructure operators and organisations running internal or public services. They range from utilities suited to individual projects to components used in large-scale automated security infrastructure. Here’s our verdict captured in a legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart. Only free and open source software is eligible for inclusion. * ⚓ Pardus_Parental_Control_-_manage_application,_website_and_session restrictions⠀⇛ The GTK4 interface provides separate controls for application filtering, domain filtering and session limits. Application and domain rules can operate as either allowlists or denylists. This makes it possible to block a small selection of resources or restrict a user to an explicitly approved set. Application restrictions are enforced using file permissions and malcontent, while website filtering uses smartdns-rs together with managed browser policies. Session limits are enforced by a privileged daemon, with permitted hours and daily usage limits configurable for individual weekdays. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ goimports-reviser_-_Sort_and_Format_Go_Imports⠀⇛ goimports-reviser is a command-line tool for organising imports in Go source code according to configurable grouping rules. It distinguishes standard-library imports from general dependencies, project dependencies, and optional company- specific packages, giving projects more control over import layout than a simple alphabetical pass. The program can also perform source formatting, allowing import organisation and code cleanup to be combined in one workflow. It accepts individual files, directories, recursive targets, and multiple paths, making it suitable for editor integration and repository-wide checks. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ MySQL_Shell_-_advanced_client_and_administration_console⠀⇛ MySQL Shell is an advanced interactive client for developing, administering and maintaining MySQL systems. It goes considerably beyond the traditional command-line client by combining an interactive SQL environment with scripting interfaces and specialised administration APIs. The shell can be used interactively by database administrators or incorporated into repeatable scripts. Its utilities cover common operational jobs such as copying databases, logical backups, restores, migration assessment and management of highly available deployments, making it suitable for both individual servers and more complex MySQL environments. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Emacs_Solo_-_built-in_focused_modular_Emacs_configuration⠀⇛ Emacs Solo is a complete Emacs configuration built around the idea of using the editor’s own facilities wherever practical instead of assembling a large collection of third-party packages. The configuration is intentionally educational as well as usable. Much of its functionality is implemented directly in Emacs Lisp, giving users examples they can inspect, modify or lift into their own configuration. Although extensive, it is organised into reusable sections covering editing, navigation, development, file management and desktop integration.

They have used very underhanded tactics to take over the project and most of them work for the usual tech companies talked about here in most posts (Red Hat, Amazon, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and the various organizations pretending to be “free” like FreeDesktop and the Linux Foundation). The very first thing they did was change the way voting works to give themselves lifetime positions within the political part of the project so they could never be removed from power. Once they managed to do that they started banning long time contributors through the usual method these days (The “Code of Conduct” they rammed through with a vote) and censoring people on the forums. They then started to highly censor most Gentoo user’s only source of contact with the project. Which is the web based support forum. While openly bragging on the mailing lists how they were banning users they didn’t like and even deleting entire forums for being too “off topic” and “a bad look” for the project. When said forum had existed for over two decades at that point. The real reason they deleted that forum: They had spent the last year or so pushing discussion of things like systemd’s scope creep (among others) out of the regular support/topical forums for causing “flame wars” and being “off topic”. Once they’d managed to do that and move all discussion about using custom overlays to avoid the “Fedora built from source” version of Gentoo that is all of the modern profiles (including the OpenRC profiles) they deleted the entire forum. Using a couple of topics about things like US politics (e.g. Donald Trump) as the excuse. They claimed no one wanted to moderate it and the current moderation wasn’t enforcing their new Code of Conduct. When said forum moderators had attempted to reach out multiple times on the mailing lists and through forum PMs while getting totally ignored by this (for lack of a better word) cabal.

We might instead have anticipated what would come after access. Open is now ubiquitous and expected. Simply making information available is no longer, by itself, a distinctive source of value. That changes the question for scholarly publishing: If information is abundant and increasingly available to machines as well as humans, where does value reside? I would argue that it lies increasingly in the creation, validation, interpretation, and preservation of knowledge. The valuable thing is the discovery of something new: an insight, observation, method, connection between ideas, or finding that challenges an established paradigm. Equally important is the ability to recognize its significance. For researchers, this means asking meaningful questions, distinguishing signal from noise, identifying patterns, challenging assumptions, and making discoveries. For publishers, it means supporting the integrity and longevity of the scholarly record through rigorous validation, reliable preservation, accurate machine-readable content, provenance, authentication, and effective discovery as the technologies through which research is accessed continue to evolve. # ⚓ Society for Scholarly Publishing ☛ Ask_the_Chefs:_What Would_You_Have_Done_Differently_About_Open_Access/Open Science_if_You_Predicted_the_World_as_it_Exists_Today?_Part 1⠀⇛ The Budapest Open Access Initiative is more than 25 years old. It called for journal content to be “freely accessible online…without expectation of payment.” It also specified that articles be free for use “as data to software.” Publishers moved to adopt OA business models — including defaulting to CC BY licenses — at a time when text- and data- mining (TDM) and AI were not generally part of the conversation. With AI at the fore, some publishers have ceased defaulting to CC BY. This has been driven both by author skepticism and fears of lost revenue. * § Programming/Development⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ Zig_0.17_released⠀⇛ Version_0.17 of the Zig programming language has been released. This release features 5 months of work: changes from 206 different contributors, spread among 925 commits.

But while looking for a new project, I found out about ESP-SDR firmware, which turns the ESP32 into a native Software-Defined Radio (SDR) without additional hardware. This open-source firmware bypasses the ESP32’s fixed-function Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modems and taps directly into the internal ADC signal chain to capture raw I/ Q baseband samples. It then sends these samples to a computer over USB or UART, where they can be processed and viewed as a radio spectrum or waterfall display, turning supported ESP32 chips into low-cost software-defined radio receivers without requiring additional SDR hardware. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_Good_DIY_Solder_Stencil_Begins_With_A_Cleanly-Sliced_Soda Can⠀⇛ Solder stencils are a fantastic way to accurately apply solder paste to a PCB. Professionally-made stencils are cut from steel, but for the home hacker, soda cans continue to be the alternative of choice. The only trick is how to actually get those little holes made, and [Saheen Palayi] shows off both his method of laser-engraving the holes, as well as a tool for cutting the can in the first place. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Own_The_OSD_Chip_In_Your_Cheap_Composite_Monitor⠀⇛ The chip in question is an AMT630A, which contains video switching hardware, a graphics system for the on-screen- display, and an 8052 microcontroller core. He didn’t manage to get into the 8052’s brain, but the video below details the long path towards controlling it through an I2C port with an ESP32. The software is available as an Arduino library. His intention is to use it as a display for navigational sensor data to aid in maneuvering Robbie. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ The_ESP32,_An_SDR_In_Itself⠀⇛ This isn’t quite the general purpose SDR we got with the RTL- SDR, but there are still plenty of uses to which it can be put. We’re curious as to whether someone can implement the software side of an SDR on the same chip, but we are guessing that might be beyond their capabilities. Either way, we’re looking forward to what the community does with this new-found knowledge. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Efinix_Sapphire_RV64_brings_64-bit_RISC-V_and_Linux_to FPGAs⠀⇛ Efinix announced this week the Sapphire RV64, a configurable 64-bit RISC-V soft SoC intended for embedded Linux, edge AI and other applications requiring more memory and processing capability than the company’s existing 32-bit Sapphire architecture. The processor can be implemented across Efinix Titanium and Topaz FPGAs, as well as Trion devices from the T20 upward. * ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ I_prefer_OpenWrt_to_OPNsense,_but_this_old-school_Linux router_fits_most_networks_better⠀⇛ When my network needs a new router, I usually reach for OpenWRT before OPNsense. They’re both extremely capable edge routers, especially when deployed as a VM. However, once I start stacking interfaces, VLANs, and rules, I find myself needing to draw out the topology to remember which networks can reach which others. It’s just too much complexity when all I need is a lab router. IPFire’s color-coded RED, GREEN, ORANGE, and BLUE zones offer a simpler way to picture those boundaries. My spare ZOTAC mini PC had two Ethernet ports and an Intel Wi-Fi card, giving each network its own physical interface and making the whole layout far easier to work with. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1214 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/04/Operating_Systems_NetBSD_OpenSUSE_Qubes_and_Ubuntu.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/04/Operating_Systems_NetBSD_OpenSUSE_Qubes_and_Ubuntu.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Operating Systems: NetBSD, OpenSUSE, Qubes, and Ubuntu⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 04, 2026 * ⚓ NetBSD ☛ Google_Summer_of_Code_2026_Reports:_Improving_and_Stabilizing the_racoon2_IKE_Daemon_in_NetBSD⠀⇛ racoon2 is a system to exchange and install security parameters for IPsec. It consists of an IKEv1/IKEv2 key exchange daemon, a security policy management daemon, and a Kerberos-based key exchange daemon. The project lives at zoulasc/racoon2 and is being modernized so that it can serve as a reliable L2TP/IPsec or IKEv2 VPN server on NetBSD and Linux for built-in Windows, iOS and Android VPN clients. * § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ o ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ Post-Quantum_Backups_Land_in_openSUSE_Factory_with ZUPT⠀⇛ Security is one of ZUPT’s main technical highlights. In addition to AES-256-based encryption, the tool supports a hybrid cryptographic scheme based on ML-KEM-768 + X25519. This approach combines established public-key cryptography with a post-quantum key encapsulation mechanism designed to provide stronger protection against future cryptographic threats. For users handling long- lived or sensitive backups, this adds an additional layer of protection against so-called “harvest now, decrypt later” scenarios, in which encrypted data collected today could potentially be targeted by more powerful computing systems in the future. ZUPT also includes file integrity verification features to help detect corruption, modification, or unexpected changes in archived data. * § Qubes⠀➾ o ⚓ Distro Watch ☛ Distribution_Release:_Qubes_OS_4.3.2⠀⇛ The Qubes team has announced the release of Qubes OS 4.3.2, an updated build of the project's security- oriented operating system for single-user desktop computing: [...] * § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ o ⚓ Medium ☛ Ubuntu_Hate_is_So_Overblown._It’s_Still_a_Great Distro.⠀⇛ Of all Linux distros these days, the one that I hear getting the most hate seems to be Ubuntu. Hordes of people are loud about their dislike of Canonical’s Linux distribution. And to be fair, they have good reasons for some of that hate. I myself have really disliked how Canonical has handled certain things. Like Snaps, for example. And some of the decisions the Ubuntu team has made have been a bit frustrating. Overall though? Let’s be real. Ubuntu is still a fantastic distribution of Linux that’s hard for me to not recommend. Here’s why. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1307 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/04/Programming_and_Standards_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/04/Programming_and_Standards_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming and Standards Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 04, 2026 * ⚓ Thomas Rigby ☛ A/B_testing,_misinformation,_and_YouTube⠀⇛ The crux of the problem is that A/B testing presumes either A or B is the right answer, and it optimises for popularity. In YouTube's case, engagement is probably what you want, but it isn't necessarily the best outcome. * ⚓ Andreas ☛ Git_worktrees:_why_not_just_clone_the_repo?⠀⇛ Why use Git worktrees for parallel coding agents when we can just clone the repository for each agent and use GitHub to synchronize their work? Each clone gives an agent its own working directory, staging area and branch. They can edit, test and commit independently. When one needs another’s changes, a push and fetch will do the job. This works, so what do worktrees add? The useful difference is what happens locally. Separate clones are separate repositories, even when they sit next to each other on the same machine. Worktrees give us separate working directories attached to one repository. A commit created in one is immediately available to the others, without first transferring it anywhere. * ⚓ The New Stack ☛ AI_is_speeding_up_exploits._Vulnerability_spreadsheets can't_keep_up.⠀⇛ Two organizations can therefore have exactly the same CVE in their environments and face very different levels of risk. One organization might have the vulnerable component sitting behind multiple layers of protection, with no external exposure and no relevant execution path. The CVE is identical. The risk is not. Another might have it running in an internet-facing production application supporting a critical business process. The CVE is identical. The risk is not. This is why vulnerability programs built around static severity scores can produce a misleading sense of progress. Teams may spend significant effort closing large numbers of findings without necessarily reducing the organization’s most consequential exposure. That creates what I would call “CVE theater”: Measuring activity rather than meaningful risk reduction. * § R / R-Script⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ pipeflow:_v0.4.0_on_CRAN⠀⇛ {pipeflow} builds a pipeline by adding one R function per step with pip_add (see also the Get started article). In this post, we’ll work with the following toy pipeline: [...] * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ Vincent Delft ☛ vdcron_0.9:_a_cron_for_laptops_that_now_survives shutdowns,_power_loss_and_reboots⠀⇛ vdcron is my small cron-like scheduler for machines that are not always on, such as laptops. It is a plain shell script that runs the tasks that are due each time the machine resumes, boots or someone logs in. At the end of September I reviewed the whole script, and the result is version 0.9. It fixes several bugs that could lose tasks from the queue, corrects the date calculations, and adds an option to edit the configuration safely. Above all, progress is now saved after each task, so a shutdown in the middle of a run no longer starts everything again. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ uni Cambridge ☛ A4_paper_format_/_International_standard_paper sizes⠀⇛ In the ISO paper size system, the height-to-width ratio of all pages is the square root of two (1.4142 : 1). In other words, the width and the height of a page relate to each other like the side and the diagonal of a square. This aspect ratio is especially convenient for a paper size. If you put two such pages next to each other, or equivalently cut one parallel to its shorter side into two equal pieces, then the resulting page will have again the same width/height ratio. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1432 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/04/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/04/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 04, 2026 * ⚓ SANS ☛ YARA-X_1.21.0_Release,_(Sat,_Oct_3rd)⠀⇛ * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Fortra_Patches_Critical_Vulnerabilities_in_BoKS⠀⇛ The bugs could lead to authentication bypass, shell command execution, and memory corruption. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Malicious_VPN_config_files_can_let_attackers_run commands_on_Asus_routers⠀⇛ Until routers on Asus’s 3.0.0.6_102 firmware are updated, the company says not to import untrusted VPN files. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ California_subpoenas_Proprietary_Chaffbot_Company_over rogue_Hey_Hi_(AI)_agents_conducting_hacking_attacks⠀⇛ California state Attorney General Rob Bonta issued a subpoena to OpenAI, compelling it to submit information on the hacking incidents that its models have been involved in. While the investigators haven't determined yet whether the company has broken any rules or regulations, Bonta said that developers are responsible for the models they build and should be held legally accountable if they perpetrate cyberattacks. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1480 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/04/Stable_kernels_Linux_7_2_9_Linux_6_18_55_Linux_6_12_112_Linux_6.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/04/Stable_kernels_Linux_7_2_9_Linux_6_18_55_Linux_6_12_112_Linux_6.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Stable kernels: Linux 7.2.9, Linux 6.18.55, Linux 6.12.112, Linux 6.6.158, Linux 6.1.189, Linux 5.15.222, and Linux 5.10.271⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Oct 04, 2026 I'm announcing the release of the 7.2.9 kernel.

Several tools can help. Some run as a commercial service, like ngrok or Cloudflare Quick Tunnels. Some are self-hostable but require a specific client, like frp or localtunnel. Some only require a plain SSH client but rely on a specific SSH server, like sish. Let’s implement a self-hosted solution with only OpenSSH and nginx! * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ One_possible_future_for_websites_is_pervasive gatekeepers⠀⇛ It's not news that "AI" crawlers are an ongoing plague and that broadly the plague is getting worse. There seem to be more and more crawlers, and they're getting past more precautions. One possible future for the web in the face of this is websites with less features, at least for the general public, because fewer features means less to crawl and less crawler impact. Another possible web future is one of pervasive gatekeepers that must be satisfied to allow you access to many or most websites. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ These_Linux_tools_increased_my_command-line_productivity: Here’s_how⠀⇛ Have you ever felt like you’re not getting the most out of your Linux terminal? Well, you’re not alone. Over the years, I've found several Linux tools that have transformed my workflow and improved my command-line productivity. Let's take a look at my list of Linux power-ups. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2138 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/04/Web_Browsers_Servers_Orion_for_GNU_Linux_Slop_Bots_and_Kiwi_TCM.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/04/Web_Browsers_Servers_Orion_for_GNU_Linux_Slop_Bots_and_Kiwi_TCM.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Web Browsers/Servers: Orion for GNU/Linux, Slop Bots, and Kiwi TCMS Adoption⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 04, 2026 * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Orion_browser_for_GNU/Linux_axed_months_after_beta launch⠀⇛ Kagi has announced that it is ending the development of the Orion web browser for Linux. The native GTK port of Orion for GNU/Linux was announced in 2025 and a public beta launched earlier this year. The goal was feature parity with the macOS build. Recent beta releases edged closer to realising it but, alas, fell short – and that’s where things will stay. At least officially. Kagi says it plans to open source the Orion for GNU/Linux codebase, as well its WIP port of Orion for Windows. * ⚓ Aman Mittal ☛ How_to_send_a_real_404_to_agents_when_a_page_doesn't exist⠀⇛ Every documentation site has an AI agent and a human reader nowadays, where AI agents are dominating the number of requests sent to the server to fetch a docs page. Agents fetch pages with HTTP clients and either use tools like web fetch to read the context of HTML or if provided, the markdown content of that page. When a URL is missing or is referenced in a wrong way, these two readers need different responses. For humans, you would use a 404 page with a link to homepage or a better and a traditional way to handle is to provide redirects on the client-side. Redirects can also be provided on server-side to correct the page. In both cases, a redirect dictionary is usually maintained by authors. However, an agent or a human can equally run into 404 links. In case of an agent, it cannot know a page exists and may end up reading the wrong page. This post lists down some suggestions that I have recently come across and implemented in the Expo docs, which I work on in my day job. * § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾ o ⚓ Kiwi_TCMS:_Who_is_using_Kiwi_TCMS_in_Sept_2026⠀⇛ September 2026 brought another wave of organizations whose Kiwi TCMS instances crossed the 1000-events mark for the first time.
