In 2003 when I was 21 I began my doctoral degree (that's me at 21, still a Mr.
Schestowitz) and I was one of the few students who insisted on using GNU/Linux
for everything. Only one of my colleagues, Patrick, did the same and had done
the same (he was a few years my senior). Patrick introduced me to Ubuntu when
it was brand new and also to Firefox before it was 1.0. He was very helpful.
Prior to that I used SuSE and Mozilla/Konqueror, among other simpler browsers
(not Netscape).
We now look at a world where GNU/Linux is apparently_on_1_in_10_desktops/
laptops and I still fail to grasp this because the gains were made so fast.
Less than a year ago we said GNU/Linux was on 1 in 20 desktops/laptops. Will it
be one in 5 next year? Or 1 in 2 one day (half)?
This is so extraordinary. Is the movement finally bearing huge fruit? █

Quoting: 6 essential Linux desktop features that still haven’t made it to
Windows —
Since its arrival on the scene, Linux has faced a persistent myth
that refuses to die: it’s difficult to use for everyday people,
especially compared to a more familiar operating system, like
Windows. It’s endured so much that many people are unaware of Linux’s
desktop benefits.
In fact, Linux pioneered many desktop features that are assumed to
have been invented by Windows or macOS. From virtual desktops to
tiling windows, some have been adopted by rivals, but few imitations
have improved on the original.

The Fairphone 5 today runs Ubuntu Touch at 97.4% functionality on the stable
24.04 "noble" channel, with calls, mobile data, camera, fingerprint reader and
NFC all working according to the official UBports spec sheet, the foundation
that develops the operating system. Anyone looking for a repairable, ethical
phone free of preinstalled Google services now has a concrete answer to the
question in this article's title: yes, Fairphone with Ubuntu Touch is feasible,
and it's actually one of the most successful combinations in the entire Linux
mobile ecosystem. A few limitations remain worth knowing before you buy,
starting with VoLTE calls, which are becoming mandatory on some networks in
your country or region.

A year ago (August 2025) a journey abroad began to see and celebrate with my
in-laws, who finally celebrated their 50-year wedding anniversary. The SLAPP
industry_in_the_UK attempted to ruin that event, it even sent threatening
messages during a funeral (death_in_the_family) because in practical terms they
are bullies-as-a-service or "hired_guns"_as_the_British_regulator_calls_it.
Rianne isn't easy to scare and she's practical like me, she does not take
bullying kindly. This year, so far at least, our vacation is respected. █

* ⚓ Brian Callahan ☛ Cleaning_costs,_or,_examining_the_OpenBSD_-fret-clean
flag_-_Dr._Brian_Robert_Callahan⠀⇛
Now, onto the interesting parts.
My research center has gotten another article accepted for
publication that focuses on our new research line of
independently evaluating *BSD mitigations. It received some
very strong reviews, which suggests to me this is work that
others want to see continued. Sadly, the article will once
again be locked behind the paywall that is IEEE Xplore. Once it
does publish, I will update this blog post with a link to it.
Technically, I can't post the paper because IEEE owns the
copyright (welcome to academia...), though I'm sure if you ask
nicely I can find a way to share it with you if you don't have
institutional access.
But just because IEEE owns the copyright to the paper doesn't
mean I can't explain it on my blog, so I am going to do that.
* ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 6_BSDs_worth_trying_instead_of_Linux⠀⇛
When you think of open-source OSes, you might think of Linux
distros, but BSD-based systems have been around for a long
time. Here are some of the best BSD systems that you can try
that can give Linux distros a run for their money.

* ⚓ Termora_–_Terminal_Emulator_and_SSH_Client⠀⇛
There is certainly no shortage of terminal emulators and SSH
clients for Linux.
At the simpler end of the scale, a terminal window and the
OpenSSH command-line tools may be all that is required. But if
you regularly administer multiple machines, a graphical client
which keeps hosts, credentials and file transfers organised can
be considerably more convenient.
Termora falls firmly into the latter category. It is a cross-
platform terminal emulator and SSH client written using Kotlin/
JVM, with versions available for Linux, macOS and Windows.
SSH is only part of what the software offers. Termora combines
terminal sessions with host management, SFTP file transfers,
SSH port forwarding, X11 forwarding, SSH Agent integration,
serial connections and a collection of additional
administration tools.

Standards Discussed⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧
posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 12, 2026
* ⚓ OpenSSH ☛ openssh.org/txt/release-10.5⠀⇛
Recently the OpenSSH team have received a large number of
security bug reports, many of which are findings from AI models
or made with AI assistance. While many AI reports are
determined not to have security impact when considered in the
context of a realistic threat model, we very much welcome these
reports, especially when combined with human triage, analysis,
test-cases and particularly when accompanied by proposed fixes.
We have seen a number of cases where a security bug identified
by AI tools is subsequently independently discovered by a
different researcher. This suggests that adversaries who do not
report bugs to OSS projects are likely to be able to discover
these bugs too. Given this, the OpenSSH team will, for now, be
making more frequent releases to get bugfixes into users' hands
more quickly rather than batching them until the next planned
release.
* ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ The_Software_Stewardship_Lab⠀⇛
The organisations set up to address open source sustainability
have the same funding problem as the maintainers they are
trying to help, often a worse version of it because a
maintainer at least produces software that people want to use,
and almost everyone I know doing this kind of research is
patching together an income the same way I am. Grant programmes
fund a project for a fixed term and then stop, which is also
roughly how the academic contracts work for researchers
studying maintainer burnout, while the tools built to measure
the ecosystem need servers and bandwidth that someone has to
keep paying for year after year regardless.
* § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾
o ⚓ Extending_immutability:_deletion_without_losing_data⠀⇛
Tigris has a pretty advanced replication scheme for
writes. What happens when you actually need to delete
things? Turns out deleting things is hard in distributed
systems. Especially when you have a geo-replicated
active-active database like Tigris does. We can (and do)
use tombstones to mark where data once was, but how do
you let people undo an accidental delete?
* § Content Management Systems (CMS) / Static Site Generators (SSG)⠀➾
o ⚓ Christian Cleberg ☛ I_Built_My_Own_Org-Mode_Static_Site_Generator
-_cleberg.net⠀⇛
I was tired of bolting solutions onto my SSGs, so I built
my own.
* § Standards/Consortia⠀➾
o ⚓ Chuck Carroll ☛ Converting_FLACs_to_Opus⠀⇛
I have music collection of over 12,000 tracks. I prefer
to actually own my music (ie digital files) and being
able to play it on any device I choose rather than using
a service like Spotify. That said, I also prefer using
OGG over MP3, and the majority of my music collection is
(currently) in OGG Vorbis format. Over the years, I've
been accumulating lossless albums from places like
Bandcamp and transcoding them.
o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ URLs_aren't_strings,_and_my_recent
encounter_with_this⠀⇛
Suppose that you have a URL in the form of a UTF-8 or
Unicode text string and you want to show it to people in
a web context, and some parts of the URL have characters
(or Unicode codepoints) that fall outside of the
straightforward 'US-ASCII' character range. If you're
putting the URL (string) into HTML, you can often get
away with not doing anything special (beyond using UTF-
8); your HTML is probably UTF-8 and browsers will do all
of the hard work for you. But if you're putting your URL
in other places, you may have to encode and quote it. One
of those places you need to encode it is in HTTP Location
response headers, which you may generate if you're
redirecting a URL to some canonical version of it (for
example, one without random 'utm' query parameters).

As a GNOME user, I have to admit that some of these concepts are very exciting,
especially the transparent panel. Not that I like using two panels/launchers
(top and bottom), but this is the main reason most people thing GNOME is “ugly”
and are using an extension like Dash to Panel or Dash to Dock.
Another cool design idea is the editable Quick Settings, finally allowing us to
take full control over those quick settings. You can do it on your Android
phone or your iPhone, so why not be able to do it on your GNOME desktop too?
This could become reality as an inline editor as part of the menu in GNOME
Shell.

* ⚓ The_best_Linux_distribution_doesn't_exist_-_Here's_yours⠀⇛
Good news folks, I just published a Linux distribution selector
[FR] !! 35 distributions in the mix, up to twenty questions,
and at the end, the name of the Linux you actually need!
Because yes, the "best" Linux distribution doesn't exist in
absolute terms. The right choice depends on your machine, your
use case, and how much time you're willing to invest. Ask two
people, one will say Linux Mint, the other CachyOS, and they'll
both be right!

os8088 is a single-floppy OS that provides preemptive
multitasking and fully loadable software alongside that GUI,
unlike other similar projects we’ve seen it’s not an all-in-one
compiled application that just looks like an OS. There’s a
second floppy with a suite of software that would have been
seriously impressive back in the day, with games, graphics, and
demos. It’s a shame that this thing appeared in 2026 when there
is little need of it.
* ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ Shared_Code_Between_Package_Managers⠀⇛
Writing up the package manager CWEs list and then the --end-of-
options survey, both of which come down to the same bug being
fixed independently in tool after tool, left me wondering how
much code these tools share with each other in the first place.
So I went through the direct dependencies of twenty package
managers1, each with at least two same-language peers in the
set, looking for package-management libraries reused between
them and setting aside the general-purpose stuff any CLI would
use (serde, clap, requests).

The work itself is familiar: generate the replacement
certificate, apply it to the server, confirm the service is
healthy, and update the support ticket. The hard part is
deciding when to act. That judgment depends on factors that
change constantly: which applications depend on the server, how
much traffic is flowing, whether a change freeze is in effect,
and what else is happening in the environment. Manual processes
can’t keep up, and automation without context creates its own
risks.

First, let’s examine your current production environment.
Compliance, governance, and security aligned with specific
standards represent an ongoing and essential need. In fact,
some standards come with costly daily fines for each day an
environment is out of compliance. Furthermore, standards
constantly evolve, with new rules requiring more rigorous
actions. For example, Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer
Security (SSL/TLS) certificates now have shorter lifespans,
impacting standards that require valid certificates.

To bridge this gap, enterprises use Red Hat Technical Account

single technical point of contact specializing in a specific
product family, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat
OpenShift, or Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. They work
alongside your team to prevent downtime, patch system
vulnerabilities, and connect you directly to Red Hat
engineering experts.

§ Hi everyone! This week we added voice chat for Mankala.⠀➾
For Mankala, our goal was to elevate the player experience by

using XMPP, and to make this experience better, voice chat is a
much better option to add.
Mankala relies on the XMPP protocol for matchmaking and text
chat using the opponent and player XMPP IDs, respectively. I
took KDE’s own chat application in reference: Kaidan, to
implement Jingle (XEP-0167)—the XMPP extension for media
sessions and connect it using an audio processing pipeline.
After that, I designed the UI for this voice call to connect,
accept, and decline calls with sync in UI and XMPP.

Although the difference isn’t night and day, the tuned

Of those, the biggest were a clock speed of 62 MHz –
instead of the typical 194 MHz – as well as a lack of
sound. This latter issue might be fixable with a better
understanding of what appears to be a quirky DMA-fed DAC.
Beyond this you’re also dealing with limited memory and
of course just 4 MB of flash, though the chip for this
might be upgradable if the MCU can map more. You do get a

Windows 11, an operating system I'm not convinced we even want powering out
handhelds and PCs, has apparently hiked OEM licence prices. That means it has
potentially cost more for companies to pre-install it on your gaming device of
choice, and I can't help but think that's ridiculously bold of Microsoft
considering Linux is gaining prominence.
The report, courtesy of Chinese publication UDN, claims Windows OEM licences
have increased by "7% to 10%" since July (via Videocardz). That's according to
a "PC brand executive" who says while Microsoft typically increases its fees
for the operating system every year by single digits, it has now allegedly
slapped OEMs with a much higher bill compared to previous years.

beyond the file it lives in (I'll refer to it as yy), and
almost no public profile outside the JSON performance crowd. It
also happens to be one of the fastest dtoa implementations.
This post is a tour of yy through a small visualization, with a
close look at one boundary case.
* ⚓ Raphael Amorim ☛ Closing_Canario_Terminal_source_code⠀⇛
People underestimate what open source costs from the maintainer
side. It’s not just writing code. It’s issues, pull requests,
discussions, people demanding things from you for free. I got
spammed like crazy. And now with AI, spamming a maintainer is
so easy: low effort issues, generated pull requests, and every
single one of them takes a bit of your time and energy.
Three things I want to make clear: [...]
* ⚓ Jacob Tomlinson ☛ Open_Source_libraries_are_evolving_into_reference
implementations⠀⇛
I’ve spent the majority of my professional career working on
software libraries, chunks of reusable code that other people
stack together to make their code.
Libraries are valuable because they contain common code that
gets reused a lot, code that has been heavily tuned for
performance, or code that captures a niche domain that would be
cumbersome to rewrite. Libraries exist to save people time.
Open source libraries also add benefit by having many people
contributing on a common codebase fixing bugs, improving
performance and increasing correctness.
* ⚓ James Bennett ☛ Breaking_up_(lines)_is_hard_to_do⠀⇛
Here’s a seemingly simple question: given a chunk of multi-line
text, how do you split it and return an array whose members are
the constituent lines of the text?
Hopefully, your first instinct is to reach for some sort of
standard-library function, maybe something like the splitlines
() method of Python’s str type. Because it turns out this
“simple” question is actually pretty complex to answer! For
example, quite some time ago I read a post by William Woodruff
pointing out the surprising discovery that Python treats up to
eleven different Unicode code points or code point sequences as
indicating a line break.
At the time I meant to write about that, but a lot of other
things started fighting for my time, and it’s only now that I’m
finally digging it out of my drafts. Still, better late than
never, so today let’s dig into some of the many ways there are
to break a line of text and how they’ve been standardized and
specified and ultimately wound up in the set Python uses.
* ⚓ Dmitrii Kovanikov ☛ 8_months_of_OCaml_after_8_years_of_Haskell_in
production⠀⇛
I’ve been using Haskell in production for 8 years. I’ve been
using OCaml in production for 8 months.
It’s time to compare those two languages.
* § R / R-Script⠀➾
o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Dual_scaled_y-axis_with_ggplot()⠀⇛
I have often found myself needing to plot a single graph
with two y-axes having different scales. For example,
this might be useful for representing temperature and
rainfall data at a given location. Unfortunately, doing
this with ggplot() is not straightforward.
While searching for possible solutions, I discovered that
graphs with dual y-axes are generally not regarded as
good tools for data visualisation. Hadley Wickham, the
author of ggplot2 and several other important R packages,
has given some good reasons for this (e.g., at this
link). I do not intend to question these general
arguments. Nonetheless, the idea that I cannot do with
ggplot() something that I could easily do with Excel gets
on my nerves. After all, such graphs can be quite useful
in some specific circumstances, such as when displaying
weather data.
I therefore started looking for a reasonable solution and
eventually found my way. I would like to share it in this
post.
* § Python⠀➾
o ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ I_is_for_immutable_-_Python_A_to_Z⠀⇛
Then at some point — maybe at an advanced class at the
university, at a meetup or in the always peaceful and
polite discussion forums on the web — you’re introduced
to the idea of immutability (not capable of or
susceptible to change).
Someone comes hype the idea of functional programming
that you’ve never heard of. They start talking about how
changing variable state is so error-prone and pure
functions is where the game should be played at.
o ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ J_is_for_JSON_validation_-_Python_A_to_Z⠀⇛
When you need to load external data into your software,
you want to make sure it behaves properly, ie. it’s in
correct form. One tool to validate input data is
Pydantic. This is a quick tutorial to show how it works.
o ⚓ Eric Matthes ☛ Parsing_large(ish)_data_files⠀⇛
There are many tools for exploring game collections, but
I've just started to become familiar with these tools.
I'm guessing people have made tools for exploring large
collections efficiently, but I haven't found them yet.
I'll do a more thorough search for existing tools when I
have a bit more time, but for now it's kind of fun to
come up with my own ways to handle these larger files.
In this post, I'll share the challenge I've come across
with a naive approach to parsing large game files, and
share a more efficient approach I've been curious to
explore.

It’s also worth knowing that GE-Proton11-5 was also released a

closing a gap that has existed since Sony launched the
DualSense in 2020. The release, GE-Proton 11-4 release page,
also introduced three distinct environment-variable controller
modes addressing a persistent problem for Steam Deck owners
using Heroic Games Launcher or Wine-Wayland: how to get Sony
controllers to work correctly when the Steam client and its
input system are not present. Hours after launch, a same-day
hotfix (GE-Proton 11-5) followed to address an Easy Anti-Cheat

A joint advisory published Monday by six government agencies —
the FBI, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency,
the Department of Defense Cyber Crime Center, the National
Security Agency, the U.S. Secret Service, and South Korea's
National Police Agency — confirmed that a ransomware operation
called Gunra has been defeating enterprise multi-factor
authentication not by tricking users into approving fraudulent
login attempts, but by directly modifying the authentication
server itself, so that a code chosen by the attackers always
works. For organizations that detected a Gunra attack on Linux
systems, the CISA advisory AA26-222A disclosed a second finding
with immediate financial stakes: a flaw in the way the Linux
variant generates its encryption keys means that victims who
preserved their encrypted files may be able to reconstruct the
decryption keys from timestamps alone — without paying a ransom
that the FBI observed starting at tens of millions of dollars.
* ⚓ Tech Times ☛ Gunra_Ransomware_Hit_Hospitals_and_Governments;_Linux
Victims_Should_Not_Pay_Ransom⠀⇛
Six US and South Korean government agencies jointly warned
Monday that Gunra, a ransomware-as-a-service operation built on
leaked code from the notorious Conti gang, has struck at least
51 organizations across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East,
Africa, and the Asia-Pacific — breaching hospitals, government
agencies, and financial institutions by exploiting unpatched
Fortinet firewall products and demanding ransoms that in most
documented cases exceeded $10 million. The advisory, designated
CISA advisory AA26-222A under CISA's ongoing #StopRansomware
initiative, carries an unusual second piece of intelligence
that network defenders should act on immediately: researchers
at Breakglass Intelligence confirmed in March 2026 that Gunra's
Linux-specific ransomware builds contain a fatal cryptographic
error that allows victims whose Linux systems were encrypted to
recover their files without paying the ransom — a finding
detailed in Breakglass Intelligence's March 2026 analysis.

But I’m spending less time in the terminal and IDE these
days. I still appreciate the feel of a monospaced font,
but I want something that is optimized for prose.
* § Server⠀➾
o ⚓ Kubernetes Blog ☛ How_to_Pretty-Print_Your_Kubernetes_YAML_as
KYAML_and_Why_You'd_Want_To⠀⇛
YAML has been the standard way to write Kubernetes
manifests for years. Every example, tutorial, and
configuration file you come across is written in it. The
problem isn't that YAML is a bad format. It's that YAML
gives you a lot of choices, and not all of them are
equally good for writing Kubernetes manifests. Some
features make files harder to read, some are easy to
misuse and others can lead to surprising behavior.

In Episode 14, I chat with Robb, the author of rknight.me
about, among other things, metaphors for websites, the
importance of sharing things you like on the web, running

This post is the story of that bug, why my fix was wrong,
why theirs was better, how bad this thing actually is,
and what you can learn from all of it. I also built a
safe CTF challenge so you can practice the same primitive
without setting anything on fire.

LocalSend, the popular AirDrop alternative application
for Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, released new
1.18.0 version. The new version of this popular free
open-source application added initial command line
interface (CLI) support, allowing to send or receive
files in terminal or server without graphical desktop
environment. The new CLI starts in interactive mode.
o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 5_apps_new_Linux_users_should_install_on_day_one⠀⇛
Most Linux distros are intentionally minimal to avoid
bloat, offering a fresh and clean environment. While this
is a major perk, knowing what to install first can be
tricky for newcomers. So, to help kickstart your journey,
here are five essential apps that belong on every new
Linux PC.
I’ve always said that installing Linux is only half the
job—you still need to install all your favorite apps and
tweak your settings to favorable configurations. That
said, these five apps should cover all the basic things
you need—and then some—to ensure you have the optimal
experience using Linux.
* § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾
o § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾
# ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ GNOME_51_could_bring_a_floating_search_overlay
to_the_Shell⠀⇛
The next version of GNOME Shell, out in September,
is likely to include a redesigned search
experience. In current versions of the desktop,
when you start a search from the GNOME Shell
overview, a dedicated search results screen
replaces the one you’re looking at, i.e., the
workspace row and dash (aka dock) are obscured.
GNOME’s design team has long wanted to adopt a
‘semantic’ layout, whereby search results appear in
an overlay that ‘spawns out of the search entry’
box and sits over the screen that triggered it.
This concept has been explored and detailed in
mockups over the years.

The announcement_of_Agama_22 described some of the novelties

("product" in Agama's jargon) restyle the whole installer
without touching a single line of Agama code. If you always
wanted Agama to look a bit more like your favorite
distribution, keep reading.

For many people it's just natural to visit us and we have RSS feeds
Social Control Media is not a replacement for media and search engines are fast
becoming slop_plagiarism disguised as "search" (wherein the search phrase is
treated like a "prompt" for an LLM).
Thankfully we aren't impacted by this. After 22+ years we're not in any way
reliant on mindless drones and lemmings in Social Control Media. Nor do we rely
on "SEO" or positioning ourselves as "highly-ranked" in some Google or Yandex
or whatever.
The Web used to be accessed and navigated through Web directories, bookmarks,
and all sorts of other means. Over time many people became lazy; they would
just "google everything" and rely on Google still being: 1) a useful search
engine and 2) a search engine (which is no_longer what it is).
If you have a site online, don't be seduced into building any "following" in
Social Control Media. Those things are volatile and unpredictable. █
