This morning I spent a long time looking for equipment for the snail/shell tank
- in essence finding out what is available at a good price point (preowned but
still reliable). It was a failure, however, as they were selling everything as
large sets, not standalone pieces. Some items were overused, both heaters and
filters. Winter is coming in a few months (we're just 6 days away from August)
and these creatures are accustomed to tropical conditions. Electric items
(appliances) have gotten_a_lot_more_expensive and less_reliable. █

Quoting: CachyOS rebuilds every package the 'wrong' way, and my Steam library
runs faster for it —
Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents:
There's a set of unwritten rules that every Linux distribution
follows, and I never thought about them until I found the one distro
that doesn't. Compile for the oldest CPU anyone might own. Ship the
mainline kernel. Use Valve's Proton, because Valve knows best. I've
been running CachyOS on my ROG Ally X and my laptop for a while now,
and it breaks every single one of those rules on purpose. It even
skipped the Open Gaming Collective, the industry's big attempt at
standardizing how Linux gaming distros are built.

Legion Go 2. So, I downloaded the beta, fired it up through
SteamOS and prepared to jump online. Instead, I ran into an
issue before the game could even start.
It appears that Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls requires Easy
Anti-Cheat, which can create compatibility issues for Linux
gaming. When attempting to launch the beta through Proton, the
game instead displays the following message: “No anti-cheat
module has been found for this game and platform.”

* ⚓ Jonas Schäfer ☛ Messing_with_Traceroute⠀⇛
TL;DR: Traceroute is fun tool to investigate how packets travel
through the internet. Due to how it's made, we can make
traceroute tools show (almost) arbitrary poems. This blog post
gives you an idea how.
* ⚓ Bozhidar Batsov ☛ Modernizing_CIDER’s_Completion⠀⇛
CIDER’s code completion has quietly gotten quite good over the
years, and I don’t think it gets enough credit. It’s all built
on Emacs’s standard completion-at-point, so it works with
whatever completion UI you prefer - the built-in one, Corfu,
company - without any special setup. Under the hood compliment
does the heavy lifting for Clojure (and clj-suitable for
ClojureScript), which means smart, backend-driven matching: mai
completes to map-indexed, cji to clojure.java.io, and an
unimported BiFun to java.util.function.BiFunction. The
candidates come back ranked by the backend and are context-
aware - it knows when you’re inside a -> or completing a
deftype field.
* ⚓ Dr Chung-hong Chan ☛ Emacs_Writing_Machine⠀⇛
I like writing. Really.
However, I have problem finishing my drafts. As you might be
able to read in my OKRs, I mentioned multiple times that I have
quite a lot of blog drafts that I haven’t completed. I don’t
want to blame anyone and it’s completely my fault: I have
problem focusing on a task. I have an attention problem. In the
past, I could blame things like Twitter for distracting me from
getting shit done. But now, I don’t use any of these social
media services anymore. I am running out of excuses.
* § Web Browsers/Web Servers/Feed Readers⠀➾
o ⚓ Undeadly ☛ httpd(8)_gains_support_for_custom_HTTP_headers⠀⇛
In a change likely to be widely welcomed, Rafael Sadowski
(rsadowski@) committed support for custom HTTP headers in
httpd(8). This obviates the need to use FastCGI support
or relayd(8) to achieve things like adding SSL/TLS
security headers.
o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ An_unfortunate_limitation_of_the_Apache
server_status_page⠀⇛
As the Apache documentation covers, the server status
page offers this information in two forms, a HTML web
page that's intended for people and a 'machine readable'
version that presents much of the information in plain
text in a relatively easy to parse format. The HTML page
comes in two versions, a table based version (the
default) and a version not using tables (accessed with
the no longer documented '?notable' parameter, and I
think it may include some extra information in more
verbose format but I haven't looked closely). All of this
is great, but there's an unfortunate limitation of the
server status page, which is that no version of it
provides detailed per-request information in an easily
processed form.
* § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾
o ⚓ DBOS Inc ☛ Postgres_LISTEN/NOTIFY_Actually_Scales⠀⇛
To understand the problem, we’ll need to examine how
Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY actually works.
The root cause of the poor performance is that in
Postgres, committing a transaction that calls NOTIFY
requires taking a global exclusive lock. This lock is
taken as the transaction begins to commit, and is not
released until the transaction is fully committed and its
contents have been flushed to disk with fsync().
This lock is necessary because Postgres guarantees that
notifications are sent in transaction commit order. To
enforce this, it stores all outgoing notifications in a
global internal queue whose order must exactly match the
commit order of the transactions sending those
notifications. Adding notifications to this queue must be
done transactionally as part of the commit. However,
Postgres doesn’t assign transactions a commit order until
those transactions are done committing, as committing can
take a variable amount of time.
* § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾
o ⚓ Leon Mika ☛ Blog_Design_Update⠀⇛
Next was the Archives page. Much of this was styling,
such as arranging the categories in a grid, and doing
something about how entry was rendered as its own card. I
didn’t like how it looked, and I think it had an impact
on performance, as the browser would slow to a crawl when
I opened it. I restyled it to be one card per month, but
in order to achieve this, I had to take the plugin-
archive-month code and do some horrific things involving
half-opened divs. It’s not glamorous code, but it looks
and works much better than it did: [...]
* § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾
o § Open Data⠀➾
# ⚓ Ben Werdmuller ☛ Can_data_collectives_help_strengthen
vulnerable_cultures_in_the_face_of_AI?⠀⇛
It’s interesting to contrast the current moment to
the “information wants to be free” era of Web 2.0,
twenty or so years ago. Back then, everyone was
talking about open APIs and open data. Now, it’s
become clearer that communities need to control the
terms of their data if they’re going to avoid being
strip-mined for somebody else’s profit.

* ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Valve_begin_improving_account_switching_in_the_latest
Steam_Beta_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛
Account switching is still not great on Steam but it seems
Valve are aware and have started making some tweaks to make it
a smoother experience. I guess they've been reading my notes
for the upcoming second part of my initial Steam Machine
review.
* ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ GE-Proton_11-3_brings_better_OptiScaler_integration,
AMD_FSR4_improvements_and_lots_of_game_fixes_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛
GE-Proton 11-3 (and 11-2 just before) is a huge release for the
popular compatibility layer for SteamOS / Linux.
* ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Building_A_Fencing_Scoring_Box⠀⇛
The brains of the operation is an Arduino Nano, running the
venerable ATmega328P. It’s set up to drive a pair of 8×8
WS2812B addressable LED panels. It’s also hooked up to a pair
of fencing socket blocks, which hook up to the lamé (jacket),
weapon, and guard of each player for electronically scoring
hits. The Arduino is thus programmed to respond to various
conditions, lighting the LEDs in turn. For example, the tip of
one player’s weapon hitting the other player’s lamé will fire a
colored light, allowing the hit to be scored. Meanwhile, a tip
hitting the floor will fire a white light, indicating off-
target. There’s also a buzzer for sonic indication, as well.
Everything is wrapped up in a tidy 3D-printed housing, while
power is courtesy of a USB-C charger hooked up to the unit.
* ⚓ Juan J Martínez ☛ It_is_the_game,_stupid!⠀⇛
I’m going to try an experiment: let’s get one of those projects
that seem to stall, and revisit the idea and focus on the game,
independently of how cool the code may be. Because, at the end,
what matters is the game, stupid!

* ⚓ CG Channel ☛ World_Machine_‘Dragontail_Peak’_now_runs_on_macOS_and

World Machine Software has begun its ‘Dragontail Peak’ series
of releases for World Machine: the latest major version of the
terrain-generation software for games and VFX work.
The first build, World Machine 4059, introduced ‘true 3D
terrain’ – terrain based on Vector Displacement Maps (VDMs)
rather than heightfields, making it possible to generate
overhangs.
* § Kernel Space / File Systems / Virtualization⠀➾
o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Maybe_assigning_TCP_connection_to_Linux
traffic_control_'flows'⠀⇛
The good news is that I managed to figure out a syntax
that tc would accept. The bad news is that I don't know
if it does what I want, because I'm not sure how you see
what connections are assigned to what flows.
I'll put forward two variations of tc-flow(8) commands.
To start with, I'll set the stage. We start with our
bandwidth limited class that will have a tc-sfq(8) qdisc
below it, straight from the first entry: [...]
o ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ EasyClone_copy_user-installed_kernel_modules⠀⇛
EasyClone was discussed somewhere in the forum. Ah, yes,
recall, it was in relation to the graphical installer:
https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=17171
If the person has booted up Easy from a usb-stick, got it
all setup nicely, used it for awhile, then decides would
like to install to internal drive of the computer,
EasyClone is optionally used to copy selectively the
setup of the currently-running Easy to the new
installation. Like for example, browser configuration,
history, bookmarks.
* § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾
o § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾
# ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ GNOME_Added_Support_Resizing_/_Moving
Screenshot_Selection_via_Keyboard⠀⇛
GNOME, the popular GNU/Linux Desktop, finally added
keyboard navigation support for its built-in
screenshot UI in the main branch. Meaning if
everything goes well, the next Ubuntu 26.10, Fedora
45 Workstation and other GNU/Linux with GNOME 51,
will be able to use keyboard arrow keys to move or
resize the screenshot selection area.
* § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾
o § Debian Family⠀➾
# ⚓ Packaging_and_enabling_upstream_functional_tests⠀⇛
Back when I was working at Canonical on the Ubuntu
phone project, test-driven development was the
default and natural way to work. One thing I
noticed and genuinely liked was how Ubuntu and
Debian ship functional tests alongside many of
their packages. Not only build-time unit tests
hidden in the CI pipeline, but installable test
binaries that you can run against the actual
packages on an actual system. They are named *-
tests or *-test, and they live in the archive next
to the production packages.
o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾
# ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Ubuntu_26.10_"Stonking_Stingray":_All_the_New
Features_So_Far⠀⇛
As usual, Canonical is using an interim release to
test features headed for the next LTS. Her, we keep
a track of the features as they are added.
Every two years, Canonical puts out a Long Term
Support release that gets five years of security
updates, which can be stretched further with Ubuntu
Pro. In between those LTS releases, Canonical ships
an interim version every six months, and each one
is supported for nine months.
o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾
# ⚓ [Old] Kuroshi ☛ Moving_Away_From_OPNsense_-_A_Story_of
Simplicity⠀⇛
This is a story from the past. A story of
excitement, joy, frustration, denial, and
acceptance. A story pulled from the depths of my
notes archive, a draft left unfinished almost two
years ago, discovered through my journey in
notetaking. This is a true story, slightly skewed
by time.
The story ends about two years ago, and begins far
before that. It informed my decisions about my
thoughts around my homelab, my hobbies, my time,
and myself. It is not a deep story, and indeed it
is technical in nature, but the conclusions have
ripple effects which reached my entire homelab and
beyond. The morale of this story resonates deeply
with me, and while I have always believed what this
story has taught me, it gives a new appreciation to
the way I choose to run my home network.
This is the story of my experience with OPNSense.

Sweden is a relatively rich country and schools there sometimes use
Chromebooks. That may help explain why usage of ChromeOS has long been high
there. This past year 'proper' GNU/Linux has also gained a foothold in Sweden
and this suggests that Sweden is a country to keep an eye on. statCounter's

Quoting: KDE Plasma became the best Linux desktop, but it's terrifying for new
users —
Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents:
I daily-drive KDE Plasma on CachyOS, and I got here the same way a
lot of people did recently: the distro I wanted shipped it by
default, and I stopped arguing. Plasma 6 on Wayland is fast, handles
hybrid graphics without drama, and looks better out of the box than
any Linux desktop I've used, and I've used most of them. Somewhere in
the last few years, KDE Plasma quietly became the default answer,
from SteamOS's desktop mode to CachyOS on my ROG Ally X to Fedora
promoting its KDE edition to equal billing with GNOME.

Quoting: Linux makes old computers feel faster, not actually faster —
Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents:
Linux is often hailed as a magic fix for performance issues,
especially on older hardware. Dust off a decade-old laptop, slap on a
Linux distro, and suddenly your machine will start feeling brand new.
There is some truth to this, and compared to Windows, Linux will make
your older machines feel much snappier, but responsiveness isn't the
same as newfound performance.

Update_(29/2026):_Jolla_Shipping⠀⇛
* ⚓ Pine64 ☛ Full_PinePhone_3D_File_Released⠀⇛
This week PineStore has released the full 3D file for the
PinePhone/PinePhone Pro. This is different than the file only
containing the back cover, which does not include the buttons
or the internal and external frame.
This opens up the possibility of self repairing some PinePhone
components using 3D printers along with creating custom parts.
* ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Taking_Tri-Camera_True-Color_Infrared_Videos⠀⇛
The system uses three USB webcams, each with its IR cut filter
removed and replaced with a different dichroic IR band-pass
filter. One filter is centered at 750 nm, one at 850 nm, and
one at 940 nm. There is no band overlap; in testing, each
camera only detected an infrared flashlight tuned to its own
filter wavelength. The original cameras didn’t hold the sensors
in a consistent position, so [Project 326] designed new
housings. Using three lenses, each with distinct aberrations,
introduced some difficulties in alignment. [Project 326]
originally intended to use a pair of beam-splitting prisms with
only one lens, but this proved too difficult to align using 3D-
printed frames.
* ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Add_Sensors_To_Everything!⠀⇛
We were thinking about this in the context of the recent video
on pressure advance in 3D printers. Essentially, the unmelted
filament acts as a springy piston, and that springiness means
that the pressure built up in the melted plastic lags the
feedrate of new filament. We usually calibrate this out with a
guesstimate constant, but it can be different for every
different filament. Measuring that pressure directly with a
strain gauge in the hot end makes more sense.

* ⚓ Thomas Rigby ☛ Translation_vs_Localisation⠀⇛
From my understanding, there is a subtle but distinct
difference; "translation" involves turning the words from one
language to another but "localisation" involves rewriting the
text for the local market. Some may argue this is the same
thing but it isn't — they are distinct tasks. We can see this
by comparing a localisation between two countries that speak
the same language.

Codeberg is not going to do a mass deletion, a bonfire of the

they will be asking the vibe coder to find somewhere else.

I have been thinking recently about how language is a high

Latent spaces are sort of magic: they don’t just reduce the
dimensionality of a higher dimensional space, they also
constrain it such that arbitrary movement in the latent space
maps to some meaningful position in the higher dimensional
space. Think about how almost any textual prompt you give to an
image generator results in a picture with recognisable shape
and form, yet the vast majority of the possible images are
basically just random noise.
Language is, obviously, like this. Once you’ve learned to
conquer the basic structural rules like syntax, grammar, and
basic pattern matching of words with similar semantic
clustering, movement within it almost always produces
‘meaningful’ (read: intelligible, not philosophically
meaningful) results. Consider how an articulate human being can
fairly easily produce passable bullshit in a field with which
they have no experience simply by reading a little of the
field’s jargon and improvising, but would utterly fail to
demonstrate practical ability in the field.

* ⚓ Piotr Chmolowski ☛ Nothing_Works_and_Everyone_Is_Euphoric⠀⇛
As I’m writing this, we’re in the middle of an AI-induced mass
psychosis. People are literally token-maxxing themselves into
hospital beds, scrambling to capture some of that market value
before everything is automated away. I can’t blame them. Models
keep getting better, programmers are being laid off left and
right. We’ve been repeatedly told that AI will write 100% of
the code by the end of the year. Whether that’s true or not,
this may not be the best time to sit back.
The widespread excitement around the Agentic Era comes with the
promise of greater productivity and higher quality. There’s no
denying that these new tools have already revolutionized how we
create and use software. They have raised upper management’s
expectations for team output. They may have upgraded the
average skill set of software teams in a way we have not seen
before.
So why does software keep getting worse across the board?
* ⚓ Hillel Wayne ☛ We_Are_Not_Special⠀⇛
Debates about traditional versus software engineering revolve
around what makes us different. The clichés here come from a
different camp than the “what makes an engineer” clichés. The
ways people try to define “engineering” often work to
marginalize software. Differences like “we don’t have licenses”
or “we’re not rigorous” are ways of saying that software is
less prestigious, less “good” than traditional engineering. As
we saw in the last essay, most of these don’t hold up, and the
crossover engineers think the two jobs are much closer in
nature than people who have only done one.
When people talk about the fundamental differences, in
contrast, they’re usually not aiming to delegitimize software
development. Rather, the implicit emphasis is on making
software “special”. Making software something that can’t be
understood by the narrow lens of engineering.

o ⚓ Adam Johnson ☛ Python:_spy_on_function_calls_with_unittest.mock’s
wraps_-_Adam_Johnson⠀⇛
Testing terminology distinguishes between different kinds
of test doubles, including:
• mocks, which replace the real behaviour of a function.
• spies, which wrap a function, recording calls for later
assertions.
Despite its name, unittest.mock is not just for mocks: it
can also create spies, through the wraps argument of its
Mock classes. Calls to such a Mock pass through to the
wrapped object and return its real results, while the
mock records the calls for later assertions.

Consider this situation: you have a bunch of nested
directories, each containing audio files in M4A format.
Each filename ends with the extension .m4a. You’d like to
convert every .m4a file in every directory to MP3 format.
The new file will have the same name as the old one
except for the filename extension which, most likely,
you’d prefer to be .mp3.
This is a common enough situation – there are many
conversions that need a change of filename. I’m just
using the M4A -> MP3 conversion in this article because
it’s easy to understand.

I’m not talking about jobs handed to a dedicated task

falls into this category.

in c++, function types have a "language linkage"
associated with them: this is either "C++", "C", or some
other implementation-defined language. and the standard
very explicitly states that "Two function types with
different language linkages are distinct types even if
they are otherwise identical." the idea is that some
implementations may have different calling conventions
for c++ functions than for c functions, so they can't be
intermixed
gcc and clang however, just, don't store language linkage
information with the type. so two functions with
different language linkages can be identical: [...]

* ⚓ Proxmox_has_a_built-in_ACME_manager,_and_I_haven't_dismissed_a_browser
security_warning_in_my_home_lab_in_a_year⠀⇛
Browser security warnings used to feel like part of the home
lab experience. I’d type in an IP address, get the usual scary
interstitial, click through it, and then act like that was
perfectly normal because the server was mine. It was only on my
network, after all, so I told myself it wasn’t a big deal.
After enough times, though, that warning stopped feeling useful
and started feeling like one more thing I’d trained myself to
ignore.
* ⚓ Linux_containers_do_what_my_Proxmox_VMs_couldn't:_run_a_dozen_services
without_wasting_half_my_memory⠀⇛
When I first started building out my Proxmox environment,
creating a full virtual machine for every service felt like the
safe choice. Each application got its own operating system,
virtual disk, memory allocation, and clearly defined place on
the server. It looked organized and, more importantly, felt
properly isolated. After a while, though, I had several nearly
identical Linux installations running just to support small
services that barely used the resources I’d assigned them.
Moving most of those workloads into Linux containers, or LXCs,
made the waste much harder to ignore, because the same hardware
suddenly felt quicker, less crowded, and much easier to
maintain.
* ⚓ OCI_image_support_in_Proxmox_solves_a_problem_I_didn't_have_and_ignores
the_one_I_do⠀⇛
When Proxmox VE 9.1 added support for OCI images, I immediately
saw a chance to remove a layer from my home lab. Instead of
creating a virtual machine, installing Docker, and then running
containers inside that guest, I could apparently pull those
same images straight into Proxmox. At least, that was how I
read it at first. After spending some time with the feature, I
found that Proxmox supports the image format, but not the
Docker workflow I was hoping to replace.
* ⚓ Proxmox_is_overkill_for_a_single_mini_PC,_and_that's_exactly_why_I_put
it_on_mine⠀⇛
Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents:
The mini PC was always lumped in with netbooks and NUCs. They
were great for getting basic work done, but as soon as you'd
command one to do anything slightly more demanding, they would
choke under their own weight. That's no longer the case, as
modern mini PCs, even more affordable ones, come rocking more
powerful Intel and AMD processors, allowing you to easily work
and game on a device more compact than a box of tissues. This
is how I can run Proxmox on a few mini PCs to create the
ultimate low-power home lab cluster.
* ⚓ This_free_Proxmox_tool_is_overkill_for_a_home_lab,_and_that’s_exactly
why_I_put_it_in_charge_of_mine⠀⇛
Proxmox may have killer virtualization tools, but it’s the
companion services designed by the genius developers and
talented community members that really make it ideal for
tinkerers. Proxmox Backup Server is by far the most popular
among these tools, and considering its storage-efficient
snapshots, remote sync support, and extra recovery features, it
deserves all the love it gets.
How-To Geek:
* ⚓ Why_homelabbers_are_ditching_Unraid_for_Proxmox⠀⇛
Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents:
Anyone building a homelab today has more choices than ever. A
few years ago, Unraid was often the first recommendation for
anyone who wanted to store files and run Plex. It made home
servers approachable, especially for users who did not want to
learn enterprise virtualization. Fluid logo
The conversation has shifted, and new homelab projects
increasingly begin with Proxmox VE, and many existing Unraid
users are migrating their workloads after hardware upgrades or
major rebuilds. Community discussions now focus less on which
platform is easier to install and more on which platform offers
greater flexibility as a home lab grows, and many enthusiasts
want a platform that resembles what they might encounter in a
data center while remaining practical for home use.

Today I discussed with my mother-in-law a bunch of things in her native tongue;
it was about what we publish and the backlash we receive for it.
We are besieged by horrible people not because we did anything wrong; it is
because of the substance of our message, not the style, it is because we resist
powerful corporations and their footsoldiers. If you condemn them, they will
hate you and try to silence you. Whether you say "Donald Trump is [bad word]"
or "Donald Trump is bad for the US" (the latter is more polite) does not matter
because the core "issue" is that you are not supporting the dictatorship. So
disregard smears that are based on distortions and reversals of guilt; for
instance, pointing out someone strangled women isn't the problem; the
strangulation is the problem, and moreover it is a distraction from Microsoft
fraud.
What they do is disingenuous; they use expensive and notoriously_aggressive
solicitors trying to spoon-feed smears and libels for judges to repeat, to
discredit the victim basically, to dehumanise the person they are attacking in
various ways. They have been doing this for 2.5 years already. █

Police in Spain have reportedly started profiling people
based on their phones; specifically, and surprisingly,
those carrying Google Pixel devices. Law enforcement
officials in Catalonia say they associate Pixels with
crime because drug traffickers are increasingly turning
to these phones. But it’s not Google’s secure Titan M2
chip that has criminals favoring the Pixel — instead,
it’s GrapheneOS, a privacy-focused alternative to the
default Pixel OS.

* ⚓ Debian ☛ General_Resolution:_LLM_usage_in_Debian⠀⇛
Debian has a well-earned reputation for stability. This
stability is crucial to Debian's position in the free software
ecosystem. It is our belief that widespread LLM usage comes
from the "move fast, and break things" attitude that, while
common in many parts of this industry, is contrary to what
makes Debian Debian, and is inappropriate for Debian
contributors.
In practical terms, LLM usage raises the following concerns:
[...]
[...]
In the interest of not eroding Debian's reputation or further
damaging the community, LLM-assisted contributions should be
prohibited from inclusion in Debian.
* ⚓ LWN ☛ A_Debian_general_resolution_on_LLM_usage⠀⇛
The Debian project is considering a general
resolution on the use of large language models in the creation
of the
distribution. There are three alternatives to consider: a
total ban on LLM usage, rejecting LLMs "as far as practical",
or explicitly allowing LLM usage subject to a set of
conditions. The discussion period has just begun; the beginning
of the voting period does not yet appear to have been set.
Those who want to look over the discussion ahead of the
inevitable LWN article can find it over here.

We are heading for 2º C global warming by 2040, possibly by
2030. And the IPCC and others already pointed out that 2º means
the end of civilisation.
So, it's coming anyway... but it's the nature of human fsck-ups
that they come in clusters. That's why someone coined the term
"clusterfsck".
So, we have multiple human fsckups coming along all together in
the mid-2020s, just as we did in the mid-1930s.
Sketchy off the cuff chronology:
Late 1980s...

Quoting: The Bootable USB Creator Ventoy 1.1.17 added Athena OS & EulerOS
Support | UbuntuHandbook —
Ventoy, the popular solution for booting .iso images from USB,
released new 1.1.17 version one day ago.
The new version of this free open-source software added two new Linux
Distributions support, optimized Secure Boot process, and fixed many
issues.
Different to the traditional bootable USB creator (e.g., Rufus,
UNetbootin), Ventoy create a small (around 34 MB) EFI partition on
your USB, while all other parts act as a normal USB storage.
Just move or paste .iso images into the USB drive, along with your
photo images and other files. When booting from the USB, it will show
you a menu with all boot-able iso images.

With 4.5+ million requests in 4 days it seems like stopping_the_messenger_is
challenging
It'll soon be 13 years since Rianne became the chief curator of Tux Machines, a
site that started in the US in 2004. 4 weeks from now Rianne has her birthday,
next week there will be an announcement, and next year it'll be 5 years since
she quit her IT job.
Tux Machines is a growing site with a growing community and as GNU/Linux
becomes more mainstream so will Tux Machines. █

Quoting: Ubuntu LTS is the best Proxmox LXC base, even though Debian seems like
the obvious choice —
Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents:
If you spin up a container in Proxmox and go looking for the "right"
base distro, there's many a home lab enthusiast that will point you
straight towards Debian, and it's a reasonable answer. It's what
Proxmox VE is built on, so it'd be reasonable to expect it to be the
best option for running your LXCs, and while Debian containers can
absolutely get the job done with their own set of pros, Ubuntu LTS is
continually what I reach for when spinning up new LXCs. For services
pulled from repos or one-line install scripts that are becoming
increasingly common, Ubuntu is the base that argues with you the
least, and that's exactly what you want out of your Linux containers.
Read_On!

* ⚓ I_added_cheap_offsite_backups_to_my_Proxmox_home_lab_with_S3_buckets
and_stopped_accidents_from_claiming_my_LXCs_and_VMs⠀⇛
Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents:
During my early home labbing days, I learned quite a few
lessons that stuck with me throughout my tinkering journey.
Creating scheduled backups is one of the most important ones,
and my very first data loss event was so painful that I
immediately repurposed an old system as a DIY NAS. But as my
home lab and tinkering projects evolved, so too did my backup
nodes, with my setup eventually culminating in a 3-2-1 snapshot
pipeline consisting of two Proxmox Backup Server workstations
located hundreds of miles from each other.
That said, I’m also fully aware that such a setup is too
overkill and pricey for the home labber, especially with the
ongoing RAM apocalypse causing hardware costs to skyrocket.
Fortunately, the newer versions of Proxmox Backup Server can
send snapshots to S3 buckets, making offsite backups a lot more
affordable (and easier to manage).
* ⚓ Steam_streaming_on_Proxmox_doesn't_require_GPU_passthrough,_and_my_LXC
setup_proves_it⠀⇛
Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents:
I've been wanting to turn my Strix Halo box into a game
streaming server for months, and the only thing stopping me was
the dread of VFIO GPU passthrough. It's a pain: block the
driver, wrangle IOMMU groups, dedicate the entire GPU to one
VM, and pray that the next kernel update doesn't break
everything. My homelab already runs half a dozen services on
Proxmox, and giving up the only GPU in the machine to a single
VM just feels wasteful.

Quoting: Xfce was supposed to be the last safe house for X11 holdouts, and it
just started packing up —
Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents:
If you'd asked Linux users a year ago which desktop environment would
keep X11 alive the longest, the answer was nearly unanimous: Xfce.
The famously conservative desktop has always moved at its own pace,
really only adopting new technology when it's absolutely ready to,
and not a single second before. So when the Xfce project announced it
was spending a significant portion of its community donations to fund
a brand-new Wayland compositor, written from scratch in Rust, it felt
like a massive departure from what Xfce users expected. The good news
for X11 holdouts is: nobody is going to take it away from you
tomorrow, but the list of reasons to stay is getting shorter with
each passing release cycle.

Quoting: Zorin Connect does three things that finally made me stop opening
multiple apps —
When I'm on my Windows 11 PC, I usually keep Phone Link open to see
what's happening on my phone. But I also have WhatsApp Desktop open
so I can answer my messages. On Zorin Connect, I only had to use one
app instead of two. For example, a WhatsApp notification appeared at
the top of my Zorin desktop, even though my phone was locked. I could
see the sender and message, and it stayed there until I interacted
with it.
When I opened the notification, I could see a reply box and a Send
button. So I could answer without having to unlock my phone. I could
also see my Gmail notifications. The notification showed me things
like the sender, subject, Gmail icon, and a decent part of what was
in the email when I hovered over it. By seeing what the email was
about, I could decide whether it could wait. I'm not saying this is
going to replace the full WhatsApp or Gmail experience. But it's a
great option when I need a quick glance at what came in or need to
give a quick answer.
