hustle culture, everyone is already trying to squeeze another hour of work out of themselves, so you don’t need another app telling you to work harder. What you might need instead are tools that help you set boundaries, step away, understand your habits, and reflect on where your time is going. Let’s look at five Linux apps that do exactly that, all of which are open-source. I’ll cover everything from controlling how you work and protecting yourself from overworking to understanding where your time goes and reflecting on whether that time was actually worthwhile. You don't need to install all of them as some magical productivity stack. Instead, pick one or a few that address what your workday is missing. * § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Android Police ☛ I_found_6_open_source_apps_that_are_so_good_that I_gladly_pay_for_them⠀⇛ Likewise, open source software is becoming more appealing to people who want control over the tools they use. It isn't limited to developers. o ⚓ Bill Bennett ☛ Spark,_2degrees_mobile_transparency_drops⠀⇛ Nick Gelling, the Consumer NZ journalist behind the mobile transparency review, wrote: “This year’s results are the worst we’ve seen in five years of the review.” As noted in our "This time last year" section, 2025 was equally poor. The review is conducted with the Commerce Commission, which published its Mobile Transparency Guidelines in November 2025. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 296 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/09/Arch_Writing_Parsers_and_Problems_With_Omarchy.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/09/Arch_Writing_Parsers_and_Problems_With_Omarchy.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Arch: Writing Parsers and Problems With Omarchy⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 09, 2026 * ⚓ ArchLinux ☛ Writing_parsers_is_hard⠀⇛ This is a story of how we got from something like this: Failed to deserialize BUILDINFO file: Parser failed with the following error: unknown ^ invalid makepkg build environment option expected `buildflags`, `ccache`, `check`, `color`, `distcc`, `sign`, `makeflags` To this: When the ALPM project started, the goal was fairly simple: Better tooling to interact with the low-level plumbing of Arch GNU/Linux Package Management (ALPM). This meant binaries to read/write individual file types, better error messages, extensive specifications and of course exports to common dataformats like JSON. * ⚓ Dayvi Schuster ☛ My_Problem_With_Omarchy_Is_What_I_Like_About_Arch⠀⇛ The things I like most about using Arch are also the things people keep trying to save me from. Setting something up, getting it wrong, reading the documentation and eventually understanding why it works. I didn’t come to Linux just to get a different desktop. I wanted to know what my computer was doing. * ⚓ The Verge ☛ SpaceXAI_backs_Omarchy,_the_controversial_Linux_distro, with_$1.5_million_in_compute⠀⇛ The marriage of Grok and Omarchy aligns two controversial tech leaders. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 352 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/09/Calibre_9_16_E_Book_Manager_Improves_Read_Aloud_PDF_Input_and_K.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/09/Calibre_9_16_E_Book_Manager_Improves_Read_Aloud_PDF_Input_and_K.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Calibre 9.16 E-Book Manager Improves Read Aloud, PDF Input, and Kobo Support⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Oct 09, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Calibre_9.16⦈_ Coming three weeks after Calibre 9.15, the Calibre 9.16 release is a hefty one, bringing support for high-quality Kokoro voices to the Read Aloud feature, which sound much more natural than the Piper voices, especially for English, and support for downloading news from websites that block automated access by using the Camoufox headless browser. Calibre 9.16 also adds support for right-to-left text and better handling of multi-column pages to the PDF Input feature, adds support for reading images in the AVIF format, and adds a new option to the tag browser to let you sort hierarchical tags that have only children but no actual books as folders before all other tags at their level.

That’s right, if you have a RISC-V computer and want to use Ubuntu on it, you will be able to do so with the upcoming Ubuntu 26.10 release, due out next week on October 15th, 2026. Even better, it looks like there will also be a RISC- V image for the Xubuntu flavor featuring the lightweight Xfce desktop environment.

Okay, sure, I started where everyone recommends you start, with Linux Mint. But once I was tired of that, I did research into which distro would be best for me to jump to next. Then, after seeing that the internet was ready to recommend every distro under the sun, I got decision paralysis and decided to just start installing things until something felt right. Despite everyone recommending Ubuntu as the perfect beginner distro for a Linux newcomer and Fedora for intermediate users, I actually had the completely inverse experience. Ubuntu felt like a confusing maze, while Fedora gave me everything I wanted right away. So, what happened?

Functions are available for common mathematical operations, while aggregation facilities let you calculate values such as sums and averages. NumNum behaves like a proper text editor rather than simply an expression field. It includes syntax highlighting, autocomplete, undo and redo, text selection, line wrapping and configurable fonts. Calculations can be separated into named sessions, and sessions are automatically saved so work can be restored after restarting the application. The result is particularly appealing for calculations where keeping the surrounding working visible is useful. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Walldo_-_lightweight_graphical_wallpaper_changer⠀⇛ Linux support covers a broad collection of desktop environments. GNOME, KDE Plasma, Xfce, Cinnamon, LXDE, LXQt, MATE and Deepin can be handled directly without additional wallpaper utilities. Standalone X11 window managers use feh as a fallback, while Wayland compositors can use swaybg. JPEG and PNG images are supported. The emphasis is on conventional static desktop wallpaper rather than animated or video backgrounds. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Zuban_-_fast_Python_type_checker_and_language_server⠀⇛ The software offers two checking modes. Its default mode follows an approach similar to Pyright, while a separate mode provides extensive compatibility with Mypy, including its configuration files, command-line options and diagnostic messages. This makes it particularly interesting for developers who want faster type checking without completely changing their existing workflows. Zuban also implements the Language Server Protocol, offering code completion, navigation and other features for supported editors. Its incremental analysis is designed to provide responsive feedback during development, particularly when working with larger Python projects. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Linux_Will_Never_Succeed_on_the_Desktop_Until_It_Stops_Expecting_Users to_Be_Experts⠀⇛ Most people do not want a relationship with their computer. They do not want to learn the ins and outs of their printer stack on a wet Tuesday evening. They want to write a letter, sort out a few photographs, watch a film, send an email, and get on with the rest of their day. Quite right too. Nobody proudly announces that their washing machine only works properly if they can interpret diagnostic codes and edit a configuration file. Yet when a Linux newcomer runs into trouble, someone will almost always pop up with three terminal commands and the faint air of “there you go, job done”. As if that settles the matter. And the funny thing is that Linux can be wonderfully straightforward. In many cases, installing software from a graphical software centre is easier than rummaging around the web for Windows installers and then clicking through half a dozen prompts. Software updates can be handled centrally, without hunting down individual installers, and modern desktops already offer most of the things ordinary users need. KDE Plasma and GNOME have both put years into refining the experience. GNOME’s own design principles, for instance, explicitly aim to reduce user effort and avoid demanding specialist knowledge. * ⚓ GoCard_-_file-based_spaced_repetition_system⠀⇛ Scheduling is handled by an enhanced implementation of the SM- 2 algorithm. Reviews use a five-point scale ranging from complete failure through to easy recall, and the resulting intervals are written back into the card metadata. GoCard also provides statistics for overall and per-deck progress together with a review forecast, giving a clearer picture of current workload and upcoming study requirements. The storage model keeps the learning data close to the material itself rather than hiding everything inside a proprietary collection. A configurable deck directory can be supplied from the command line, and the application can be installed as a native Go program. The combination of Markdown, local files and a focused TUI makes it a good fit for users who already organise notes in plain text. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ LiquidHaskell_-_refinement_type_checker_for_Haskell⠀⇛ The software can operate as a GHC plugin. This means verification can be incorporated into the compilation workflow instead of requiring a completely separate language or toolchain. Specifications are normally placed alongside the Haskell code they describe. LiquidHaskell is more than a conventional source-code linter. Its emphasis is proving properties about programs rather than checking formatting or stylistic conventions. Nevertheless, it occupies a useful place in a Haskell static-analysis toolkit because it can highlight invalid assumptions and unsafe program states before the code is run. It uses Z3 for SMT solving and is suitable for developers interested in stronger static guarantees than Haskell’s standard type system provides. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ gf_-_lightweight_graphical_front-end_for_GDB⠀⇛ The debugger also exposes information such as registers, local variables and the call stack. Watch expressions allow values of interest to remain visible during a debugging session, reducing the need to repeatedly enter commands. One of gf’s attractions is its relatively small implementation. It does not attempt to become a complete integrated development environment. Instead it concentrates on presenting GDB functionality through a focused graphical interface. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ GateSentry_-_filtering_proxy_and_DNS_server⠀⇛ Policies can block categories and domains, maintain allowlists, enforce safe search, and apply scheduled rules to particular devices or proxy users. DNS filtering works at domain level, while proxying enables more granular URL and content filtering. Linux also supports transparent proxying. With HTTPS inspection enabled and its CA certificate installed on clients, GateSentry can apply rules to URL paths, keywords and response content types. This is free and open source software. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣴⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠉⠉⢹⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⠁⠰⠋⠉⠙⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⠀⠃⠀⣧⡀⠉⠀⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⣸⣿⣏⣀⣼⣿⠿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 770 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/09/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_or_Sharing_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/09/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_or_Sharing_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free, Libre, and Open Source Software or Sharing Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 09, 2026 * ⚓ Jamie Tanna ☛ Minifying_JSON_with_`jq`⠀⇛ As an improvement to my version with Python or with Ruby, with tools like jq now being widely used, how do we minify a JSON string? * ⚓ Dan Cohen ☛ The_Slow_Formation_of_Durable_Software⠀⇛ On this 20th anniversary of Zotero’s launch on October 5, 2006, I will do my best to recount Zotero’s pre-history, what it took to conceive, design, and build the 1.0 release. It’s a story about a bunch of historians who were knowledgeable about emerging technologies and knew how to code — as a secondary rather than primary skill — and who spent a lot of time, some of it wasted time, at a big table chatting. That conversation eventually coalesced into ideas about the future of scholarly research. * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ FOSS_Weekly_#26.41:_Open_Source_Trouble,_More_Rust_in Ubuntu,_Adobe_Photoshop's_GNU/Linux_Clone,_Rich_CLI_Tool_and_More⠀⇛ Open Source projects are facing infrastructure trouble. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Spotifast_lets_you_enjoy_Spotify_tracks_while_lowering RAM_usage_by_5x_or_more⠀⇛ Spotifast lets you enjoy Spotify tracks while lowering RAM usage by 5x or more — alternative client also packs Winamp skins and Milkdrop visualizations. * § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ o ⚓ Document Foundation ☛ LibreOffice_26.8.1_is_now_available,_at last⠀⇛ Unfortunately, the release of LibreOffice 26.8.1 has been a bit of a struggle, firstly due to a series of minor issues with the packaging of the backdoored Windows version, and then because of a serious malfunction in the server managing the downloads, which forced us to revert to the previous version * § FSF / Software Freedom / Digital Sovereignty⠀➾ o ⚓ EDRI ☛ CADA_represents_everything_that’s_wrong_with_Europe’s approach_to_digital_sovereignty⠀⇛ The EU’s Tech Sovereignty Package is supposed to jump- start Europe’s “sovereign AI” ambitions. But due to fundamental misunderstandings about the technology behind ‘AI’ and the blind trust in Big Tech’s AI doomer and boomer narratives, it is more likely to instead hurt digital rights and the environment instead, and waste valuable public resources that should have been invested in actually increasing Europe’s digital resilience. The Cloud and AI Development (CADA) Act, a part of the Tech Sovereignty Package, adds up to an aggressive policy push to impose “European AI”. * § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ o ⚓ David Revoy ☛ License_update:_AI_derivation_prohibited_on_all_my art,_lore,_stories,_and_comics._-_David_Revoy⠀⇛ As a webcomic author, releasing my work under free culture license, making my art with only Free Libre and Open Source software, and with popular stories and art, I'm facing a new license problem. The Creative Commons licenses I used since more than a decade (CC By for Pepper&Carrot, and CC By-Sa for MiniFantasyTheater) miss an option: the possibility to prohibit AI generated derivation. And I really need now to setup something like that. * § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ o § Open Data⠀➾ # ⚓ Assaf Arkin ☛ The_mileage_rate_moved_in_July⠀⇛ The table is public now too: every period since 2011, business, medical, moving, and charity, mid- year splits included. Charity has been fixed by statute at 14 cents for as long as anyone reading this has been filing, and the moving rate only applies to Armed Forces members moving under orders. Those are the kind of facts you want from a table rather than from an audit notice. # ⚓ Atharva Raykar ☛ Surveys⠀⇛ I don't trust any quoted statistics by default because I've (anecdotally) realised that pretty much every study is sloppily done or misinterpreted when quoted. The only time I trust a statistical analysis is when I have personally looked into it and seen that they did things right. I'm not even a stats pro or anything, the bar is in hell and any AI model, when given sufficient data and reasonably good prompting can debunk things pretty well. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 915 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/09/Games_Macromedia_GOG_Steam_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/09/Games_Macromedia_GOG_Steam_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Macromedia, GOG, Steam, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 09, 2026 * ⚓ WerWolv ☛ Getting_old_Macromedia_Director_Games_to_run_on_modern Hardware⠀⇛ The game came as a set of three files: a .ccd, a .cue and a .img file. Those are apparently produced by the old CloneCD program and contain the raw data from the disc, plus additional out-of-band information such as track metadata. Games from that time often came with audio tracks as well, so you could just pop these CDs into a CD player and listen to the soundtrack or other bundled media. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ OCTOPATH_TRAVELER,_OCTOPATH_TRAVELER_II,_and_NEO:_The World_Ends_With_You_arrive_on_GOG_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Three more Square Enix games have today landed on DRM-free store GOG.com, and they're part of the GOG Preservation Program too. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Cloudbreaker_review_-_Bullet_Heaven_meets_Inventory Management_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ If you're like me and you can't get enough of bullet heaven survivor-likes, it's time to take a good look at Cloudbreaker with its inventory management.

There's a new Humble Beyond Reality VR Bundle with an interesting set of sci-fi games to grab. * ⚓ Valve_says_grey_Linux_VR_streaming_may_be_an_AMD_encoder_bug,_and_warns off_the_patches⠀⇛ Linux owners who stream SteamVR to a headset and get a grey, flat picture now have an answer from Valve, and it points at the graphics card rather than at SteamVR. A SteamVR developer at Valve, posting on the bug report at 09:19 UTC on October 7, writes: "We believe this might be coming from a bug in vcn which affects AMD 9000 cards." * ⚓ Nvidia's_Linux_driver_fixes_a_Last_of_Us_Part_II_bug_reported_on_its forum_four_months_ago⠀⇛ Nvidia published Linux display driver 615.78.08 on October 7, and the first thing in its release highlights is a fix for a game bug a player described on Nvidia's own developer forum on May 26. Nvidia's wording is "Fixed blocky corruption observed during gameplay in The Last of Us Part II:", followed by a link straight to the post that raised it. * ⚓ Valve_says_Steam_can_assume_NetworkManager_when_a_distro_calls_itself SteamOS-like⠀⇛ Valve has put a line on the record about where SteamOS ends and ordinary Linux begins. Writing on its own steam-for-linux tracker at 14:09:59 UTC on October 5, the Valve account that answers Linux client reports said the first-run setup "shouldn't get called unless your distro has specifically told Steam to start as if it's in a SteamOS-like environment, and the Steam client should be allowed to make assumptions like NetworkManager being reliably available in that case". ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1049 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/09/GNU_Linux_and_BSD_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/09/GNU_Linux_and_BSD_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux and BSD Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 09, 2026 * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ The BSD Now Podcast ☛ BSD_Now_684:_Nerds_2.0⠀⇛ Telnet BBS on a Calculator, What happened to Nerds, NetBSD 11 from scratch and more... * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o ⚓ Dan Q ☛ Move_the_mouse_across_the_screen_(Weird_Web_October)⠀⇛ I found myself thinking about all of the examples of skeuomorphism in our computer user interface metaphors: radio buttons, toggle switches, drawers, tabs, etc. Then I realised that one of the most-common user interface metaphors : the computer "mouse" is not skeuomorphic1 But what if they were? How far would we carry the metaphor? Onto our screens, with "mouse" cursors2? Perhaps. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ GNU ☛ Extending_Guix⠀⇛ Guix is all about empowering people, so it should come as no surprise that one can extend it with new guix commands.

This is certainly overkill for most users and I only use it because I like kanidm and because all bits and bolts run locally on a single openQA instance. o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Thorsten Alteholz ☛ Thorsten_Alteholz:_My_Debian_Activities in_September_2026⠀⇛ § Debian LTS/ELTS This was my hundred-forty-seventh month that I did some work for the Debian LTS initiative, started by Raphael Hertzog at Freexian. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1134 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/09/GNU_Linux_Compatibility_or_Emulation_Windows_Amiga_and_PS5.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/09/GNU_Linux_Compatibility_or_Emulation_Windows_Amiga_and_PS5.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux Compatibility or Emulation: Windows, Amiga, and PS5⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 09, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Lxa⦈_ * ⚓ XDA ☛ Steam's_latest_Beta_update_makes_running_Windows_games_and_apps on_Linux_a_lot_easier⠀⇛ I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that Valve's efforts are primarily why Linux gaming is even a thing these days (even if Valve only took the plunge because it really wanted to escape Windows 8). The Proton layer lets developers keep making Windows-only titles, and lets Linux gamers play them with minimal to no problems. Now, a new update to the Steam Beta client makes running Windows games—and, by extension, apps — on Linux a lot easier. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Windows_apps_and_games_added_to_Steam_on_SteamOS_/ Linux_now_use_Proton_by_default_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Valve updated the Steam Client Beta with a useful change to external Windows apps / games getting added to Steam on SteamOS / Linux. * ⚓ Adafruit ☛ Lxa_–_Linux_Amiga_emulation_layer⠀⇛ Guenter Bartsch has published lxa, a Linux Amiga emulation layer on GitHub. It runs AmigaOS executables natively on Linux in the way WINE runs Windows programs. A 68000 CPU emulator is paired with AmigaOS library implementations, and system calls are bridged to Linux file and I/O operations. On first run it creates a ~/.lxa/ directory with the system files it needs. * ⚓ Video Cardz ☛ After_turning_PS5_into_a_PC,_modders_are_now_turning_PCs into_PS5s⠀⇛ Modders recently demonstrated Linux running on PlayStation 5 hardware, allowing Sony’s console to run PC software and games.

The cost of food, like the cost of living in general, goes up. Yesterday JWZ caught our attention because an admin of ours sent along this rant_dated_2_days_ago. To quote: "But why do I bring this up now? Because our web-hosting bill is normally between $600 and $800 per month. Except suddenly it's now $3,500 per month, entirely because of all of these piece-of-shit AI model-training robots incompetently scraping all of our text and images, repeatedly, as fast as they possibly can; ignoring our requests to stop; and lying about who they are. And I have no solution, other than "don't have a web site any more". [...] Fundamentally these AI companies are now charging me to train their models for them. I am now being billed $2,700 per month, $32,000 per year, so that their spicy-autocomplete plagiarism-machines can suck the blood out of everything I've ever created and shit it back out. And no matter how many ways I try to say "I would prefer not to," they just. Will. Not. Fucking. Stop." I spoke to JWZ about this (over E-mail) some months ago. He was blocking all sorts of Web clients based on the false assumption they were slop bots in disguise. For us, hosting costs are manageable because there are many of us, we went static in 2022, and the webhost is good (I've been their client for about 23 years). █ =============================================================================== Image source: Out_With_Sister ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢠⡜⢻⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢠⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣶⣌⡛⣿⣷⣾⣷⣮⣟⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢀⡄⢠⣿⣿⡟⠟⠻⣿⠟⠃⠩⣭⣛⢿⣷⣬⣶⣬⡙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠋⣠⡿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠃⠻⣿⣿⣝⡛⠻⢿⣷⣥⣢⢍⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠠⠃⢰⡿⣱⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⢀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣜⡻⠿⢿⣾⣄⡀⠉⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠘⣰⣿⣿⢏⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⣶⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣄⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣉⠻⢿⣷⣦⣄⠈⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⢀⣶⡿⣿⣯⣾⣿⡿⠀⠂⢄⡂⠙⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⡉⠻⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠈⣿⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⢠⣿⣿⣼⣿⡿⣱⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣍⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⢀⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣣⣿⣵⡿⣿⣏⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠄⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢠⢠⣿⣿⣿⣷⡿⣿⠟⣼⣿⣗⠈⣕⡲⢮⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⢀⡟⢸⣿⣿⣿⣟⣾⣏⣼⡿⣿⡟⠛⠂⠈⠑⠂⠉⣻⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢻⡖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⣀⠛⣯⣼⣿⣿⣿⣾⢻⣿⢏⣼⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⢒⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠞⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⣤⢋⣼⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣣⣿⣏⣼⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣰⢧⡾⢻⣧⣿⣿⣿⣷⡿⣻⣿⠟⣼⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠯⢿⡿⠿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣰⢣⡟⣰⣫⢸⣿⣿⣿⡿⣱⣿⠏⣼⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠓⢶⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢹⣻⡟⡼⢁⡿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣾⡿⢻⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢡⣿⣏⡜⣠⣯⠆⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⣡⣿⠟⣰⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠒⣮⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣄⣀⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⣺⣟⠎⡰⠃⡽⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⡏⣰⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⣴⣟⠎⡜⢁⣾⡗⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢻⣿⣿⢏⣽⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠒⠮⢽⣻⢿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠈⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣸⣿⠏⡜⣠⠋⣠⠿⢾⣿⣿⣿⡟⣵⣿⡿⢁⣾⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⣿⣏⠎⡰⢁⡴⣻⠂⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣇⣾⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⢈⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣼⣿⠏⡜⢡⠞⢀⣴⢧⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⣾⣿⡿⢋⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠜⣠⠏⣠⢞⡅⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⢱⣿⣿⠟⢁⣾⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠠⢰⣶⣿⡿⠟⠻⠻⠿⢯⣽⣷⠟⠻⣿⡟⠰⠁⡰⠋⢘⡄⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⠀⣾⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣤⣧⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⢰⢟⠁⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢡⣿⣾⣿⠟⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿ ⣶⣶⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠊⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⣴⣿⣿⡿⢁⣴⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿ ⠉⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣿⣿⡏⠀⣼⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡾⣣⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢹⣇⣤⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⡿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⣴⠋⠀⢋⠀⣽⣿⣿⣿⡿⢁⡀⣿⣿⣿⡿⢻⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠁⢀⣴⠟⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⡿⠋⢠⣾⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠆⠀⣴⠟⣡⠆⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⡿⢿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⡷⠃⢠⡾⠋⠀⢋⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢁⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⡿⠁⣰⠏⠀⢀⣴⡿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⡄⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣧⡼⠁⢀⣴⡿⠋⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠸⠗⠘⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡟⠀⣠⡾⠋⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠂⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⣸⡏⢀⣼⠋⠀⠀⢀⣄⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡾⡡⢸⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⣠⣾⠋⠁⠀⣿⣿⣿⣏⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣘⣿⡇⣾⣿⠏⠀⣠⣾⠟⠁⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⢀⣿⡇⢀⣾⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣷⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣷⣿⠃⣿⣿⠋⠀⢀⣠⣾⠀⠀⠀⠀⡽⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⡿⡱⢰⣿⡅⢀⣴⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣇⣿⡇⣸⣿⣷⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⢟⠀⠟⠿⠟⠁⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣾⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠏⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⢾⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1385 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/09/KemmOS_openSUSE_Linux_distribution_with_GNOME.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/09/KemmOS_openSUSE_Linux_distribution_with_GNOME.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ KemmOS – openSUSE Linux distribution with GNOME⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Oct 09, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇KemmOS⦈_ Quoting: KemmOS -

It protects our messages and passwords, but also banking and payments, health data, government services and the digital infrastructure societies rely on every day. Yet across jurisdictions, governments are increasingly considering laws that expand lawful access to data for law enforcement and national security purposes. In practice, this can mean requiring companies to create new ways to access encrypted data, introduce technical capabilities that bypass existing protections, or make otherwise secure systems insecure. These measures can weaken the very security encryption is designed to provide, with consequences for cybersecurity, privacy, fundamental rights and the wider economy. Canada’s Bill C-22 is the latest example of this trend, raising serious concerns about the security and privacy consequences of expanding government access to data. * ⚓ Ana Rodrigues ☛ My_Interop_feature_ranking⠀⇛ The Firefox team just launched a website that allows users to rank the Interop 2027 proposals that they care about.

Designed with a unique wire-free architecture, the robot integrates all components onto a central printed circuit board also used as the structural chassis. The robot is roughly the size of a smartphone and can jog, jump, and carry up to twice its 250-gram weight. The main PCB uses a dedicated 6V/16A step-down converter for motor power and includes a battery management system for two 14500 Li-ion cells. For control, the kit includes a separate ESP32-C3 controller PCB with an Adafruit Mini I2C Gamepad. * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Intel_Twin_Lake-Based_Helix_320_Industrial_Gateway_with Quad_2.5GbE⠀⇛ OnLogic’s newest industrial edge gateway, the Helix 320, features a fanless design powered by defective chip maker Intel N-Series Twin Lake processors.

Alas, audio quality he was getting through it was a little too crunchy, so he pivoted to use a dedicated Hands Free Profile (HFP) bluetooth module that is purpose built for exactly this kind of application. He’s selling the design on his website, but given how much detail he shows on screen, recreating your own version would be easy enough to save the quid. You’d be missing out on the STL for the fantastic 80s brick he’s made, which may be the most interesting part of the build to us. * ⚓ Chris ☛ Swemak:_Colemak_for_Swedish⠀⇛ If you’re struggling to find the difference against normal Colemak, look at the cluster of five keys next to the return key.

And its official! It is a bit too early to say how useful this is, but it does give you a good feel for the way that microcontrollers such as the ESP line of devices is progressing and getting so much more powerful. The latest, the ESP 32 S31, is a dual-core RISC- V device running at 320MHz. This should be enough for most embedded projects, but the addition of more sophisticated memory management than you usually find in microcontrollers, even RISC-V based devices, means it much easier to run a real operating system. The S31 has a two-level page table with address translation. In addition, it has different levels of privilege operation, which makes isolating a kernel from user space possible. * § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ o ⚓ Daniel Janus ☛ SSHing_to_my_reMarkable_from_anywhere⠀⇛ One of the reasons I like the rM is that it’s a pretty open system running Linux – you can ssh into it out of the box.

They all kinda suck in their own ways. This would be somewhat acceptable if they were doing novel work in new fields, but these are all APIs for solutions that have existed for a decade or more.

It put a name to something I had been circling around for years. I had been arguing a version of the same point long before I knew the term. In my 2022 post titled Functional programming explains why containerization is needed for reproducibility, I argued that a pipeline is only as reproducible as the functions it is built from, and that even a pure function hides inputs such as the R version, the package versions, and the operating system. Containers are one way to make those hidden inputs explicit. In another 2022 post on learnings from functional programming, I made a related case for writing functions that fail early and never reach into the global environment. Both posts were, in a sense, attempts to build a pit of success out of habits and tooling. Neither was framed that way, and I think the framing is more useful. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2029 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/09/Protecting_the_UK_From_American_Monopolies_and_American_Back_Do.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/09/Protecting_the_UK_From_American_Monopolies_and_American_Back_Do.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Protecting the UK From American Monopolies and American Back Doors⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 09, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Out_With_Sister⦈_ Two months ago I_issued_a_statement_about_the_state_of_litigation (as I habitually_do).

We generally both love animals and we're also not fans of "modern" technology, unlike some of the 1980s and 1990s "norms" in technology (the same goes for music and culture, not only computing). Quality matters, not "screen time"; the latter is an indicator of inefficiency. We sometimes see idiotic "owners" of dogs who are too busy with technology (typically a gadget like a so-called 'smart' 'phone', not a music player with headphones). Yesterday at the park it wasn't just us but other people (dog owners) who were disturbed to see a dog running all over the place with a long (about 5 meters) leash trailing behind it, imperiling other people's pets and possibly putting that dog at risk of fatal suffocation (if or when the leash gets stuck somewhere, e.g. pipe, trunk, branch). And sometimes you genuinely wonder if the busy "owner" even cares about the wellbeing of the dog more than that of the gadget. There's nothing bad with technology per se (where it belongs an improves lives), but if you take out the dog just to play social control media games on a skinnerbox, then better not bother having a dog at all. The more addictive technology becomes (by design), the worse it'll get. People seem unable to set aside such so-called 'technology', even when they go to bed. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Kitties ⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⢾⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⠿⡶⢀⣴⣶⠇⢸⣿⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠻⠀⠀⠸⠀⣿⠁⢸⠀⣸⡇⢸⡇⢸⠇⢸⣿⡿⠋⠀⠁⣀⡀⠀⠈⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⣴⣼⣿⠁⣰⣥ ⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⣩⡄⠀⣤⣷⣆⠀⢸⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡁⠀⢸⣿⠀⠈⠃⠀⠃⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⡿⠀⢸⠀⢸⠇⢸⠃⢸⠀⠘⠁⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢧⡀⠀⢸⡆⢹⡿⠆⠈⣿⣿⠀⢸⡿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⢿⣾⣿⠿⣟⠻⢛⣶⣻⡿⣤⣤⣶⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣷⣴⣾⣤⣾⣦⣼⣦⣼⣤⣶⣤⣭⣴⣿⣿⣿⣏⣀⣈⣉⣉⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣸⣿⠤⠿⠷⠾⠖⠒⠚⠚⠉⠂⢸⣿⣽⣿⡄⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣅⡀⠈⠁⠈⠀⢸⡇⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠙⠻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠿⣿⠿⠀⠀⠘⣻⣿⡛⠹⠆⠉⠛⠒⠂⠀⠈⡇⠈⠉⢻⠛⣿⡟⢛⣿⠛⢻⡇⠀⡀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⡝⠛⠙⠟⠛⠛⠛⠻⣿⠉⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠁⠘⣿⣧⠀⠀⢰⣟⣿⣳⡌⠁⠗⠀⢀⣀⡀⣰⡄⠀⠀⡄⠀⣿⡇⢸⣿⠀⣿⡇⢰⡇⢸⣿⢸⣿⢘⣿⢰⣿⡆⠀⣶⣶⣶⣶⣼⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣩⣷⣤⣄⣤⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⢠⠀⠘⡃⠀⠠⠀⠀⡆⠀⠀⣀⠐⠒⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠘⡇⠀⣿⡇⢸⣿⠀⣿⡇⢸⡇⢸⣿⢸⣿⢸⣿⢸⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣛⣿⣿⠟⢻⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟ ⠀⠠⠀⠀⢻⣿⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⡿⠋⡄⠀⠸⣿⣆⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣧⠀⣿⡇⠘⣿⠀⣿⡇⢸⡇⢸⣿⢸⣿⠘⣿⢸⣿⣷⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡿⢁⡏⢽⢯⠆⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶ ⠀⢸⡆⠀⣶⢹⣿⣷⣻⡟⣏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣷⣦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣀⡿⠀⠻⠃⠀⠛⠀⠛⠁⠘⠋⠈⠉⠈⠉⡁⢀⠁⣬⡈⠀⢻⣿⡟⣿⣿⡿⠏⠁⠀⠀⣰⣈⣀⡀⠀⠋⠛⠛⢿⣿⡿⢿⣿ ⠀⢘⡇⠀⣿⣸⣿⣿⣿⠀⡛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠋⠉⠛⠛⠿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠻⢿⣿⡿⠿⡛⠿⣶⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠥⢺⠖⠙⠄⡐⠀⠉⠀⠛⣿⣿⠶⣤⣬⡉⣉⡉⠉⠙⠂⡰⢟⡓⠀⠀⠀⠚⠛ ⠀⢤⣿⠄⠘⠛⣿⣯⣹⣾⠏⣄⠀⣀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⡄⠀⡀⣤⡀⡀⠉⠉⠉⠙⠲⢮⣦⡀⠈⠳⢬⡹⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠒⠫⣰⢦⡞⡥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⡽⠀⠀⠀⠩⠉⠙⠓⢶⣄⠀⠀⠀⡆⠀⢀⠀⠀ ⠀⠸⣿⣆⠀⠀⢬⣿⣿⣿⣠⣿⣶⠿⠁⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣀⢀⣠⣿⣿⣧⣀⠀⠉⣼⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣰⣎⣬⣩⣯⣴⣤⣄⣀⡰⣃⣠⣠⣴⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⢿⣦⣼⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠠⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠉⢿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣟⠍⠈⣽⠔⠂⢀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠍⠉⠛⠿⠿⠿⠁⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠈⠰⣿⣷⣶⣾⣷⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⡶⠤⠀⠉⠉⠹⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠉⠹⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⣀⣀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⣿⣿⣷⣄⢀⣴⣦⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⢀⣤⣐⣲⣶⣤⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡀⠀⠀⠘⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀ ⡠⢤⣀⣈⣉⣉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠁⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⡇⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⡆⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠛⠛⣿⣿⠿⠟⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠓⢾⣿⠏⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣏⣒ ⡿⢿⣷⣬⣍⣙⠛⠻⠳⠠⠠⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣦⣠⠄⠉⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⠃⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣷⣶⣭⣍⣛⠻⠶⣄⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢛⣿⣵⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠈⠻⠿⣿⣿⢿⠿⢿⠀⠉⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣛⣿⢿⠿⡷⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣤⣌⡻⠶⣦⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣟⣰⣿⣿⣠⣴⣤⣤⣤⣄⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⢄⠉⠈⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⢉⠥⠒⠋⠉⢃⠀⣈⣩⣿⣟⠊⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣖⡢⠬⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⠻⠋⠿⠿⣿⢿⣿⠛⣿⣿⣿⣳⣾⣿⣶⣤⣆⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣬⣽⣶⣾⣯⣤⣂⠤⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠟⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣄⣀⣀⠀⠀⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢷⣢⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣤⣤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠋⠉⠛⠻⠿⠿⠟⠙⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣶⠄⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣛⣩⣤⣾⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠙⠃⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2572 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/09/_Think_Chinese.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/09/_Think_Chinese.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ "Think Chinese"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 09, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Out_With_Sister⦈_ This morning we wrote about "Keeping_Costs_Low" while running a large site.

They do not necessarily move it in the DOM, keyboard focus order, or screen reader reading order. * ⚓ Matthew Brunelle ☛ Setting_up_a_Clan_machine_using_PXE_boot⠀⇛ Clan is a peer-to-peer computer management framework for NixOS. It lets you fully provision a remote machine in a declarative way. So, if Clan can control a machine over the network, why not just initially boot the machine over the network too? Then I wouldn't need to go out and buy a new flash drive. This is where Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) boot saves the day. You run a PXE server on one machine that will serve up an image to boot. The client machine does a little autodiscovery, downloads the image and boots into it. * ⚓ Jane Street ☛ Jane_Street_Blog_-_Scaling_and_benchmarking_a_critical message_bus_using_a_new_indexing_strategy⠀⇛ Aria is our internal messaging framework and hosted system that processes multiple terabytes of data per day. Clients can subscribe to Aria to get a live stream of messages. As Aria usage has rapidly grown at the firm, we’ve had to find more opportunities to optimize and re-architect the system to scale with the increase in data volume and throughput. An intern working with the Aria team, Theodor Totev, focused this summer on using indexing and tree-splitting to improve a specific use case: How can we make it cheaper for clients to read just a subset of messages? His optimizations led to a 30% decrease in CPU usage when running on production workloads, while keeping the extremely high bar of correctness needed for such a critical system. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2990 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/09/Ubuntu_DDoS_Again.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/10/09/Ubuntu_DDoS_Again.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ubuntu DDoS Again⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 09, 2026 * ⚓ Ubuntu_websites_offline_due_to_‘sustained’_DDoS_attack_[Resolved]⠀⇛ Canonical reports a 'sustained distributed denial of service attack' on its websites, leading to outages.
