New ITU Report Finds Community Networks Are Key to Reaching the Unconnected

There are many reasons why communities worldwide still lack meaningful Internet access, even decades after the Internet has become a staple of everyday life for others. Technical and policy limitations, geographic barriers, and high costs all play a part. More often than not, multiple factors are at play.

Valve and Collabora Announce Official Arch Linux ARM64 Port for Steam Frame

Steam Frame uses an ARM64 processor, so Collabora, in collaboration with Valve, has been developing Holo Core as a full AArch64 port of Arch Linux intended as the base for the operating system that will power the gaming VR headset. Since Arch Linux has no official ARM64 support, Collabora had to build new tooling and CI infrastructure from scratch.

More Than Half a Million Files

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 18, 2026,
updated Jul 18, 2026

The news.tuxmachines.org or tuxmachines.org site (mostly the same thing) moved to a Static Site Generator (SSG) almost exactly 4 years ago. That was done after we had repeatedly experienced issues with the Content Management Systems (CMSs), partly due to DDoS attacks, and partly due to database issues (caused in part or exacerbated by the aforementioned DDoS attacks). The Drupal component of the "old state" was turned into static pages, as was the Gallery component. 14 months later the transition was complete. Databases no more! Except sqlite for SSG backend management.

The site has since then grown to over half a million objects:

find /var/www/tuxmachines.org/ | wc -l
566280

A lot of these are images, directories, and the rest are HTML files.

Without directories:

$ find /var/www/tuxmachines.org/htdocs/ -type f | wc -l                                         
533137

At the current pace of publication we add close to 50,000 more files each year. █
