jealous people who lie about what they are and actively attack Free software
(in general). 3 Americans are doing this.

nearly 12% up from 5% a year ago. In the wider region of North
America. Linux it also surpassed 10% for the first time.
* ⚓ Christian Hofstede-Kuhn ☛ Chezmoi_and_Git:_Dotfiles_Without_Pretending
Every_Machine_Is_the_Same⠀⇛
My workstation configuration is not one file. It is fish
functions and abbreviations, a Git configuration, Neovim Lua,
GnuPG and SSH settings, and an Atuin configuration. It has
grown over years, which is another way of saying that
recreating it from memory would produce something incomplete
and subtly annoying.
Putting all of it in Git solves the history and distribution
problem. It does not solve the deployment problem. Git does not
know that dot_gitconfig belongs at ~/.gitconfig, that ~/.ssh
should not be world-readable, or that my work machine needs a
different email address from a personal laptop. A repository
full of symlinks can cover the first problem, and a
sufficiently heroic shell script can cover the others, but at
that point I have written a small and probably bad
configuration manager.
* ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ I_gave_two_PCs_one_mouse_and_keyboard,_and_they_started
feeling_like_one_computer⠀⇛
For months now, my desk has looked like a small server room. A
Windows laptop on one side, a Linux laptop on the other, and a
tangle of cables in between because I refused to buy two of
everything just to switch between them.
Every time I wanted to jump from Windows to Linux, I would have
to either switch over at least three peripherals by hand, or
reach out like an orangutan to use the Linux laptop's keyboard.
So I gave both my PCs one set of peripherals, and now they feel
like one computer.

Up until now, the only way we could use most storefronts
outside of Steam on the Steam Deck was by using a community-
made tool or launcher with Proton. For the Epic Games Store and
GOG, this usually meant using the Heroic Launcher. However,
that is changing, since GOG is still in the process of creating
a native Linux version of their storefront. And it sounds like
Epic is doing the same.
* ⚓ Epic_Games_Store_to_get_an_official_Linux_version,_which_could_mean_a
native_app_for_Steam_Deck_and_Machine⠀⇛
Linux gaming could soon become a little easier for users who
rely on the Epic Games Store, and when we say that, we’re
typically referring to Fortnite players. In any case, Epic
Games has confirmed that it is working on a Linux version of
its storefront, potentially removing the need for third-party
launchers on platforms such as Steam Deck.
* ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Epic_Games_Store_will_get_a_Linux_version_sometime
"soon"_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛
Epic Games recently did an AMA (Ask me anything) in the
community Discord server, confirming that a Linux / SteamOS
version of the Epic Games Store is coming. I'll file this in
the "I'll believe it when I see" it folder…
* ⚓ Epic_Games_Launcher_Coming_"Soon"_to_Linux_|_TechPowerUp⠀⇛
Following the launch of the Valve Steam Deck, there has been a
growing tide of game and software developers looking to bring
their products and projects to the growing body of Linux
gamers. Epic Games is no different, with the company previously
revealing in a job listing that it was looking to expand Easy
Anti-Cheat support on Linux. Following an announcement that
Epic Games was rebuilding its game launcher with a new
framework that promises 5× faster launch speeds, there has also
been speculation that the Fortnite company could be launching a
native Linux version of the Epic Games Launcher.
* ⚓ “Soon”_–_The_Epic_Games_Store_is_coming_to_Linux⠀⇛
It’s official, the Epic Games Store is coming to Linux. Epic
Games Staff have confirmed that a native Linux version of their
games launcher is in the works, and that it is coming “soon”.
This information was released during an AMA on the Epic Games
Store Discord. SteamDeckHQ were the first to report on the
news.
What’s clear from Epic’s statements is that Epic isn’t just
releasing a native Linux version of the Epic Games Store and
calling it a day. Broader platform integration is planned.
Currently, the Epic Games Store does not sell native Linux
versions of games. Moving forward, native Linux game versions
may be supported. That said, it is more likely that Epic will
us a compatability layer to allow Windows games to run on
Linux, which is similar to how Valve/Steam operates.
* ⚓ TechRadar ☛ Epic_Games_Store_is_going_to_support_Linux_'soon'_—_and
that's_great_news_for_Steam_Deck_owners⠀⇛
Epic will be making a native version of its launcher for Linux,
and on top of that, Nvidia's GeForce Now app for Linux is also
official, having emerged from beta.
The delivery of the Epic Games Store for Linux will be a big
win for Steam Deck owners, and other Linux gamers who want to
access Epic's gaming platform with no fuss, and as Steam Deck
HQ reports (via VideoCardz), that native incarnation is coming.
An Epic employee (@onepercentnachos) was questioned on this
subject at an AMA ('ask me anything' session) on the Discord
server for the Epic Games Store community. They replied that a
native version of the store is coming "soon" albeit not in the
next preview build. The staffer noted that "we need to do more
than simply have a build of the launcher that can run natively
on Linux".
* ⚓ Video Cardz ☛ Epic_Games_Store_will_officially_support_Linux,_Epic
confirms⠀⇛
Epic Games is working on official Linux support for the Epic
Games Store. An Epic staff member confirmed that Linux support
is coming “soon,” although it will not be part of the next
preview release.
The confirmation came during an AMA on the official Epic Games
Store community Discord.
* ⚓ PC Gamer ☛ The_Epic_Games_Launcher_will_be_available_on_Linux_'soon'
says_dev,_after_it's_had_a_bit_of_work⠀⇛
Linux gaming has been rumbling along in the background for some
time. However, this seems to be the year it reaches a wider
audience, as proper Linux support has become a much-requested
feature for many platforms.
Next up is the Epic Games Store/Launcher, it seems, as an Epic
dev has responded to a user query about Linux support with an
emoji saying "soon." The conversation was spotted (and indeed,
screenshotted) by Mr_Madafaka on Reddit.
* ⚓ The_Epic_Games_Store_is_getting_official_Linux_support⠀⇛
This information was shared by an Epic developer on the
official Discord server dedicated to the Epic Games Store
community. According to this employee, they will need to put on
some significant work to offer said Linux compatibility.
Broader integration across multiple platforms may be in the
works. The American company aims to do more than simply offer a
launcher capable of running natively on Linux.
* ⚓ Video Cardz ☛ Epic_Games_Store_will_officially_support_Linux,_Epic

Epic Games is working on official Linux support for the Epic
Games Store. An Epic staff member confirmed that Linux support
is coming “soon,” although it will not be part of the next
preview release.
The confirmation came during an AMA on the official Epic Games
Store community Discord. According to Epic staff member
@onepercentnachos, supporting Linux requires more work than
simply producing a native Linux build, suggesting that Epic is
preparing broader platform integration rather than only porting
the launcher.
* ⚓ Epic_Games_Confirms_the_Epic_Games_Store_Is_Coming_to_Linux⠀⇛
Epic Games is working on an official Linux version of the Epic
Games Store, giving Linux gamers a first-party alternative to
the community launchers and compatibility tools currently used
to access Epic libraries.
An Epic Games staff member confirmed the plan during an AMA on
the Epic Games Store community Discord server. When asked about
a Linux version of the launcher, the developer said it was
coming “soon.”

You wake up one morning to find your home server unresponsive,
after some investigation you discover a failed NVMe drive
taking your self-hosted services and data with it. Perhaps
you’re a system administrator and a workstation’s SSD has been
silently accumulating errors for months, and now a user is
reporting corrupted files.
Drive failures are rarely instant, they give subtle warnings
(through rising temperatures, increasing error counts, and wear
indicators) but only if you’re watching. Most people will only
check on disk health after problems start, by then it may be
too late.

VMware vSphere, the underlying platform was highly proprietary.

# ⚓ Thunderbird ☛ Desktop_Calendar:_A_Design_Journey⠀⇛
Hello, Thunderbird community and followers of the
blog! This is Jesse from the design team. Today’s
post is about our recent journey in redesigning the
calendar portion of Thunderbird, and what you can
expect us to deliver in the near future.
The calendar is a key part of any productivity
toolset, from your PC Desktop to your office wall.
There has been a calendar in Thunderbird since
early in the project, and like all parts of the
application, it’s evolved on its own terms, for
better or for worse. It has many layers of
functionality, but the experience has lost parity
with current UI standards — at this point, it feels
stylistically dated and functionally convoluted.
So, with the help of the design team and the
developers and the community, we have taken on the
task of modernizing and streamlining the calendar.
This is my account of the designers’ part of that
journey.

hybrid ECC+ML-KEM in TLS. For example, one vote for the
spec was from NSA's Mike Jenkins, who had never sent
email to the TLS mailing list before. I responded by
calling for volunteers to speak up on the public-interest
side.
I'm happy to report that 82 people spoke up on the TLS
mailing list in unambiguous opposition to this spec
during the voting period. There were also some additional
people (Izzy Grosof, for example, and Ivan Visconti) who
had already registered opposition before the voting
period; I've heard credible reports of further opposition
messages being blocked by the chairs; and, even though
this wasn't filed as opposition, it was good to see the
following statement from Roberto Avanzi: "as a codesigner
of ML-KEM myself I would not trust using it exclusively:
what if it gets broken mathematically and in the
classical computational model (I.e. non-quantum)? Hybrid
is better, and the additional time used by ECC is not
significant."
(In the opposite direction, I've been pointed to the
following claim from Thomas Ptacek: "The more
cryptography-literate you are, the more likely it is you
think hybrids are silly." Oh, well, I guess that settles
it then.)
For 75 of the 82 people with opposition statements on the
list during this voting period, I see no way that anyone
can even try arguing that anything in their messages
suggests the possibility of spec modifications removing
the objections. I've taken quotes from those 75 people
and forwarded them to "IESG", the Internet Engineering
Steering Group, along with my replies to talking points
from spec proponents. Copies of my messages to IESG: 1,
2, 3, 4.
The rest of this blog post says what's supposed to
happen, what has happened so far, and what's likely to
happen next.

* ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ Faugus_Launcher_2.1.0_Released_with_Amazon_Games
Support⠀⇛
Faugus, the open-source app launcher for running backdoored
Windows games and Steam games in Linux, released new 2.1.0
version today. This simple and lightweight UMU-Launcher based
application added GOG games support in the past few weeks. With
the new 2.1.0 version, it can now run Amazon games in your GNU/
Linux Desktop.

player_edition_of_Computer_Space_hails_from_1973⠀⇛
A games industry veteran is selling off what is 'probably the
rarest arcade game in existence' via Boston’s RR Auctions.
* ⚓ PAYDAY_2's_Linux_Version_Is_No_Longer_Being_Supported⠀⇛
Despite its age, one of my favorite co-op games to play is
PAYDAY 2. The sheer amount of content and the gameplay loop
still hold up, offering hundreds of hours of enjoyable time
with friends. I still go back and play it consistently, and I
really love it, especially on the Steam Deck. However, for
those of us playing on the Steam Deck, there’s some sad news:
the Linux version of the game is no longer supported.
* ⚓ Payday_2_Gets_New_Engine_13_Years_Post-Launch_and_Officially_Loses
Native_Linux_Version⠀⇛
The new Diesel Engine V3 improves the game in a number of ways,
but the highlights include moving to a 64-bit architecture,
adopting DirectX 11, improving CPU utilization for modern
multithreaded CPUs, improving load times and the installed game
size, and adding native VR support. Of course, this hasn't come
without some trade-offs, one of the most impactful of which is
the loss of the native Linux build of the game.
* ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Hand_of_Fate:_Hordes_is_a_bullet_heaven_survivor-like
filled_with_story-telling_and_games_of_chance_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛
Hand of Fate: Hordes recently entered Early Access bringing
some interesting story-telling, games of chance and deck-
building to the bullet heaven genre. A rather wide genre now
that exploded initially with Vampire Survivors, where it seems
like every indie developer wants to try their hand at it.
* ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Raft_meets_Don't_Starve_in_the_new_survival_game
Coastless_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛
Going right into my list of must-haves for co-op gaming with my
partner, Coastless is a fresh survival crafting game blending
Raft and Don't Starve.
* ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ The_LULULOOK_Gaming_Pillow_for_Steam_Deck_is_the
ultimate_way_to_be_lazy_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛
LULULOOK sent over the LULULOOK Gaming Pillow for Steam Deck
and it has become my go-to when I want to be truly lazy. I was
a big fan of the similar one from Mechanism, but that's now
gone in a cupboard because this one is actually a lot more
useful.
* ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Hell_Let_Loose:_Vietnam_arrives_on_Steam_and_works_on
SteamOS_/_Linux_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛
The tactical online shooter Hell Let Loose: Vietnam from
Expression Games / Team17 has now officially launched and it
does thankfully work on SteamOS / Linux. Disclosure: a key was
provided to GamingOnLinux to cover it.
* ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ System_Shock_VR,_High_On_Life_VR_and_more_from_the_VR

We're getting some fun VR treats that were announced during the
recent VR Games Showcase - now I just need Valve to release the
damn Steam Frame.
* ⚓ Robert Lützner ☛ My_kids_are_kicking_my_ass_at_chess⠀⇛
But I’m seriously impressed at how quickly they’ve picked it
up. I think I was 10 or 11 when I first learned chess, first
from a friend that I met on vacation and later from my grandpa.
I eventually got good enough to consistently beat my grandpa,
but that was a long time ago and I’ve lost tons of games since
then.
* ⚓ [Old] Brett Chalupa ☛ Make_Games_for_Playdate_with_Lua⠀⇛
Written in a fun and accessible style, Make Games for Playdate
with Lua is a great way to get started learning game
programming. The book is perfect for beginners. And if you've
already made some games before, you'll feel right at home as
you go through the chapters.
You'll code a bunch of small games from scratch to learn
everything you need to bring your game ideas to reality.

Coming a month and a half after GNOME 51 alpha, the GNOME 51 beta release
improves GNOME Shell with better keyboard navigation of screenshot area
selection, SVG-based cursor implementations, initial support for the ‘reduced-
motion’ setting, support for web login and a unified auth mechanism, and
support for copy, paste, and cut action keys in entries.
Mutter 51 beta includes many changes as well, such as support for the ext-
background-effect-v1 blur Wayland protocol, support for external cursor
implementations, improved frame scheduling, a dedicated “input panel” group,
and support for global shortcut inhibitors to inhibit a11y shortcuts.

Kubernetes accepts it because the API server mainly

security controls failed, and points out the lines that
could give an attacker an advantage, even before the

If you run a Linux server, there is a good chance a piece
of software called systemd-journald is quietly chewing
through your disk. A bug report filed on GitHub on Aug.
13 laid out the numbers: a single line of log output
triggers more than 49KB of disk writes on the ext4
filesystem and more than 110KB on btrfs. For context, a
typical log line is a few hundred bytes at most. The
finding has drawn sharp attention from the open-source
community and reignited a years-old argument about how
Linux handles something as basic as writing a log file.

Intel has released XPU Manager 2.1, the latest version of
its open-source GPU monitoring and management software.
The tool is primarily intended for Intel Arc Pro graphics
and provides telemetry, configuration and device
information through the XPU-SMI command-line interface.
In that sense, it’s pretty similar to NVIDIA-SMI tool.

and conversation over this happy period.
✐ Here is a comprehensive summary of what we
accomplished this summer:⠀✐
§ XMPP Integration in Login and UI updates (Weeks

I began by integrating in-game XMPP server
registration (following XEP-0077:_In-Band

Recently, a developer, Erik Ziegenbalg, reached out to me
to test his new service, called OpenFactory. I was
skeptical at first, because I've seen such services make
lofty promises they didn't deliver on. Still, I offered
to give it a try.

If you remember that desktop picture widget for
GNOME I wrote about last year, but found it a bit
too basic for your personalisation preferences, you
weren’t alone. Another user felt it could lacked
enough flexibility, so forked and improved it.
Picture Desktop Widget Remake improves on the
original. It lets add multiple picture widgets to
your Ubuntu desktop, and assign each one a
different folder to pull images from, at random.
Plus, you can set the size, position, border radius
and aspect ratio of each widget individually.

Quoting: I put Linux on a tablet, and KDE Plasma handled everything I threw at
it —
Using a desktop operating system with a traditional tablet-like
design has its challenges. For starters, you have to deal with worse
battery life and, more importantly, a user interface that is just not
built for a touchscreen.
It’s been especially bad on Linux, and while touch-focused interfaces
have existed for decades, there really haven’t been many suitable
options for an x86 tablet. That is, until now.
I took out my trusty Flow Z13 and installed KDE Plasma on it,
expecting it to be completely disappointing — but imagine my surprise
when Plasma 6 just worked, with minimal tweaks.

that all_the_inertia_Windows_had_going_for_it_-_gaming_included_-_is_more_or

Quoting: Nitrux Shows Off a New Desktop Approach Other Distros Might Want to
Take Note of —
Don't think that this move came out of the blue. Nitrux has been busy
building this up since last year, when it swapped out KDE Plasma for
Hyprland and told everyone that they were headed towards 'a new
beginning' that was not for everyone.
The project now has a name for what it has been creating, the
"Workspace Environment." It ties together four new in-house developed
components as pieces of a five-layer architecture, presenting a very
different desktop experience for Nitrux than we are used to.
Uri Herrera, Nitrux's founder, describes it as filling a gap, where a
window manager gives you almost nothing beyond window placement and a
full desktop environment like GNOME or Plasma bundles everything into
one tightly coupled process tree.

Quoting: Nvidia just made gaming on Linux a whole lot easier —
You now have an easier time playing games on your Linux PC without
turning to code translation or emulators. Nvidia's native GeForce Now
app for Linux has officially left beta, giving the open-source OS a
major, refined cloud streaming option beyond the web browser.
The finished version focuses on "performance, stability, and polish,"
Nvidia says. There's also a new Flatpack repository to simplify
installation and updates.
GeForce Now on Linux officially requires Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or later as
well as a dual-core 2GHz processor, 4GB of RAM, and a GPU capable of
Vulkan-based H.264 or H.265 video decoding. You'll need at least a
15Mbps internet connection, with more bandwidth (plus one of the
Premium plans) necessary for higher resolutions and frame rates.

* ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Gemma_Translator_multilingual_interpreter_runs_locally
on_Raspberry_Pi_5_with_the_LiteRT_runtime⠀⇛
Gemma Translator is an open-source project for the Raspberry Pi
5 that acts as a multilingual interpreter running locally
without access to the clown using Surveillance Giant Google
Gemma 4 and LiteRT runtime. It’s a project built by three
Surveillance Giant Google engineers with the help of
Surveillance Giant Google Antigravity. It includes code to run
an on-device, fully offline voice translator/interpreter using
Gemma 4 E2B (2.3B effective / ~5.1B total parameters with per-
layer embeddings) and the LiteRT runtime.
* ⚓ CNX Software ☛ EITWatch_open-source_ESP32-S3_smartwatch_implements
planar_EIT_hand_gesture_recognition⠀⇛
Researchers from Northwestern University have introduced
EITWatch, an open-source ESP32-S3-based EIT (Electrical
Impedance Tomography) gesture-sensing system that fits within a
standard smartwatch footprint. It relies on a Seeed Studio XIAO
ESP32-S3 board and eight electrodes arranged on the back of the
case to detect hand gestures via impedance changes caused by
muscle and tendon movement beneath the skin. Unlike other
wrist-EIT systems that use circumferential electrode bands,
EITWatch places all eight electrodes on the back of the
smartwatch case.
* ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Uninvasive_EEG_Interface_Could_Be_Used_To_Play_Games⠀⇛
The device is referred to as Octopus 16, so named because it
combines sixteen EEG electrodes into a single compact package,
along with the required common reference and ground. The
contacts themselves are pogo pins, assembled into a coin-sized
cluster. The device is strapped to the head, pushing the
contacts against the scalp, and data from the electrodes is
then siphoned off to a host machine via Bluetooth Low Energy.
The EEG signals are picked up with a pair of Texas Instruments
ADS131M08 ADCs, each with 8 channels, with a resolution of 24-
bits to capture fine detail in whatever the brain is doing. An
ESP32 microcontroller is responsible for grabbing the ADC
output and trucking it out over Bluetooth.
* ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Blue_Pill-Style_STM32C5_Board_Adds_Oberon-2_Firmware
Support⠀⇛
Norwegian-based Tenko has released an open-hardware development
board based on STMicroelectronics’ STM32C5 microcontroller
family. The compact board follows the familiar Blue Pill form
factor while adding USB-C power, onboard USB-to-UART
connectivity, and an alternative firmware environment based on
Oberon-2.
* ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ ESP32-C6_Home_Automation_Kit_with_ESPHome_and_Modular
Sensors⠀⇛
Apollo Automation has launched the ESPHome Starter Kit, a
modular smart-home development platform built around an ESP32-
C6 board and designed to let users create ESPHome devices
without soldering, breadboards, or writing code. The kit
operates locally and can be used independently or integrated
with Home Assistant.

* ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ Planet_News_Roundup⠀⇛
This week highlights Tumbleweed’s five snapshots. Podman 6.0.0,
which now defaults rootless networking to pasta and drops
legacy components like slirp4netns and CNI, was a key change.
On the KDE side, registration opened for Akademy-es 2026 in
Madrid and KStars 3.8.4 arrived with what the project calls the
world’s first AI-powered guiding assistant. The openSUSE.Asia
Summit 2026 also announced a change of venue in Yogyakarta, and
the Agama Installer showed how any distribution can restyle the
installer without touching a line of its code.
* ⚓ Dominique Leuenberger ☛ Tumbleweed_–_Review_of_the_week_2026/33⠀⇛
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
This week saw the release of 4 snapshots (0806, 0809, 0811, and
0812).
Notable updates include the release of KDE Plasma 6.7.4 in
snapshot 0809, delivering the latest bugfix release. In the
same snapshot, GDM 50.2 was delivered to address security
concerns, including a path traversal vulnerability where a
compromised greeter could load arbitrary .desktop files via
SelectSession, and an autologin bypass.

Quoting: Please stop using these 7 deprecated Linux commands —
How-To Geek logo Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents:
Over the years, several Linux commands have been deprecated, either
because they are no longer relevant, have security problems, or have
ceased to be maintained. You might still be able to use these common
commands, but you probably shouldn’t. Instead, try alternatives that
are less prone to bugs and offer more features too.

* ⚓ Vinay Keerthi ☛ Dottler_-_Manage_.env_Files_Across_Git_Worktrees⠀⇛
Dottler is a local command-line tool for managing .env files by
project. It needs no account or server. It identifies a project
from its Git remote and keeps the variables in a global store
under your home directory, so every worktree for that repo uses
the same store.
It can import an existing .env, write one into a new worktree,
export variables to your shell, or run a command with them.
* ⚓ Rlang ☛ Reading_notes_on_Code_That_Fits_in_Your_Head_by_Mark_Seemann⠀⇛
Throughout the book, the author makes it clear that he believes
one should pay attention to the code one writes, to its
internal quality. The following two sentences even got their
little frame:
“The goal is not to write code fast. The goal is sustainable
software.”
* ⚓ OWASP ☛ OWASP_Top_10_CI/CD_Security_Risks_|_OWASP_Foundation⠀⇛
CI/CD environments, processes, and systems are the beating
heart of any modern software organization. They deliver code
from an engineer’s workstation to production. Combined with the
rise of the DevOps discipline and microservice architectures,
CI/CD systems and processes have reshaped the engineering
ecosystem: [...]
* ⚓ [Old] Florian Herrengt ☛ How_to_automate_Instagram_engagements_with
computer_vision_(and_get_banned)⠀⇛
Obviously, Instagram does not want you to automate engagement.
Their HTML is a mess of randomly generated class names and
deeply nested divs. The structure changes every deployment. Any
script that relies on DOM selectors breaks within weeks because
the class name doesn't exist anymore.
* ⚓ [Old] Var Zero ☛ What_even_are_microservices?⠀⇛
It's almost impossible to have a conversation about software
architecture without someone bringing up microservices. Just
look at the discussion over my last post. They have become the
default example of both "good architecture" and "over-
engineering," depending on who you ask.
What's interesting is that everyone seems to recognize a
microservice when they see one, yet almost nobody can explain
what actually makes something a microservice.

You have likely been to a meetup. I love meetups. I’ve
been participating in them for 13 years and have been
running my own for over 10 years. A lot of my best
friendships have started from those communities.
I have written about meetups and conferences from various
perspectives in the past so consider this post as a
literature review of sorts.
o ⚓ Adam Johnson ☛ Python:_fix_TypeError:_NamedTuple()_got_an
unexpected_keyword_argument⠀⇛
NamedTuple has always had two documented ways to define
fields: the class-based syntax, and a functional syntax
taking a list of (name, type) pairs. The keyword-argument
style above was never one of them, it worked only as a
side effect of the old implementation happening to accept
**kwargs. This form was therefore deprecated and removed
in Python 3.15, with NamedTuple’s signature now locked to
positional-only.
o ⚓ Adam Johnson ☛ Python:_fix_SyntaxWarning:_invalid_octal_escape
sequence⠀⇛
Python strings support octal escape sequences: a
backslash followed by one to three octal digits (0–7),
such as \120, which represents the character with that
codepoint. Three octal digits can encode any value from 0
to 0o777 (511 in decimal), but octal escapes were only
ever intended to cover single bytes, 0 to 0o377 (255 in
decimal), the range used by earlier character sets like
Latin-1.

o ⚓ Vikash Patel ☛ How_Go_Channels_Actually_Work⠀⇛
Go’s concurrency model comes from Tony Hoare’s 1978
paper, Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP).
In traditional multi-threaded environments, threads
communicate by sharing memory. To prevent race
conditions, you lock that memory using mutexes. This
approach has well-known failure modes: it is easy to
introduce deadlocks, lock contention degrades throughput,
and tracking ownership of shared data structures becomes
difficult as codebases grow.
CSP flips this pattern. Concurrent processes communicate
by passing data through explicit, synchronized input and
output ports: [...]

If you have some spare brain cycles for the weekend, here's a
tutorial on how to upscale low-resolution videos to HD quality
using the ffmpeg media processing tool, including practical
limitations, upscaling with different aspect ratios, video
padding, use of motion filters and unsharpen mask, results with
720p and 1080p output, transcoding performance, use of CPU and
GPU codecs, smart TV comparison, some other tips and tricks,
and more. Enjoy.
