SilverBullet is a MIT-licensed note-taking application, designed to run as a
self-hosted web server. Started in 2022, the project is approaching its 2.0
release, making this a good time to explore the features it offers.
SilverBullet stores notes as plain Markdown files, and provides a Lua scripting
API to customize the application's appearance and behavior.
[...]
While it will be hard for any note-taking program to tempt me away from Emacs's
org-mode, I do think SilverBullet is a compelling alternative. Its design as an
offline-first web app backed by plain files promises to offer the best of both
worlds. Plain files can be imported, exported, and backed up trivially; but
making the primary interface web-based allows for easy styling and
synchronization across devices. The integration of Lua scripts directly into
the user's documents is a flexible platform on which to customize a potentially
personal platform.
While the 2.0.0 release is not quite ready, the pre-release that I tested
seemed stable. People who are happy with their current note-taking solution are
unlikely to want to switch, but those looking to try a simple, flexible
alternative may well want to give SilverBullet a look.

Quoting: CachyOS — Distrowatch’s Top Distro Has Speed, Polish and Features —
While it’s rare for us to go straight to the top ranking on
Distrowatch for our weekly distro look, we at FOSS Force have a
perfectly logical reason in making CachyOS this week’s Distro of the
Week. CachyOS had a new release last month, so we thought we’d throw
caution to the wind and give it a shot …er, I mean look.
An Arch-based distribution, CachyOS delivered version 250713 to the
public on July 13 of this year. Because it’s a rolling release, the
ISO is basically a snapshot for new users to install, while current
users always remain up-to-date. According to the project’s website,
the distro “offers a seamless installation process and a range of
customization options to personalize your computing experience.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced user, CachyOS delivers
optimized performance while maintaining its simplicity.”
A relative Johnny-come-lately to the Linux universe, CachyOS was
first released in July 2021 in Germany, developed by Peter Jung and
Vladislav Nepogodin. The name CachyOS originated from the Cachy
scheduler, initially a CPU scheduler patch meant to improve desktop
responsiveness that was developed by Jung. Later he grew interested
in creating an optimized Linux distro for x86_64-v3 systems.

This report covers hrev58946 through hrev58986.
waddlesplash reworked Terminal to not change its current
directory when spawning new Terminals, which was inadvertently
causing filesystems to not be able to be unmounted if a
Terminal was spawned inside them.
abbategabriel changed the name of “Status bar” in Appearance
preferences to “Progress bar”. The class on Haiku is called
BStatusBar, but on other OSes the common terminology is
“Progress bar”, so this is less confusing.
nipos made the scrollbars in SerialConnect adjust with the font

This is almost 7.0-final, except that I'm still having
problems with hanging on my Asus Zenbook. Which is so

o ⚓ Subnetspider ☛ Trying_out_Netgraph_VNET_Jails_with_ngbuddy⠀⇛
After reading the latest FreeBSD Journal “Netgraph for
the Rest of Us” by Daniel J. Bell, I discovering the tool
ngbuddy(8), and immediately wanted to try it out myself.
I actually wanted to experiment with Netgraph for a while
now, but I could never figure out how to configure it
manually, as it is rather complicated. However, this
seemed like the perfect opportunity, so I installed
FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE in a fresh VM on my second Proxmox
VE and created a couple of Bastille VNET jails, which I
modified to use Netgraph.

The final guideline is that everything is Arch-centric.
Content on the site may be useful for users running
different Linux distributions, and contributions are
welcome that may apply to other distributions, but
""something that will not work on Arch as-is is not
something we will be hosting on our site"". That, he
said, allowed the maintenance team to be focused on the
content Arch provides and helps to keep maintenance more
manageable.

* ⚓ Firefly_AIBOX_3588S_-_Set_up_Flatpak_to_use_external_disk_-
LinuxLinks⠀⇛
Having liaised with an engineer from Firefly, there’s no
publicly available way of making a bootable microSD card for
the AIBOX 3588S in Linux. This is because regular Linux tools
for making bootable microSD cards require raw firmware yet the
SDK for the AIBOX packages firmware in RK format. Firefly
didn’t develop raw firmware for the machine.
The engineer has shared a .bin file with me in the past couple
of days which can be written to a microSD card but I’ve not yet
tried it, as it’ll either require emptying the eMMC or modify a
system file. There’s always the risk of being left without a
bootable machine. I had that when the bootloader corrupted
previously and the only way to repair the system was to use
MASKROM with its inherent risks.
* ⚓ jdPixelUpscaler_upscale_images_per_pixel_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛
jdPixelUpscaler upscales images by simply replacing one pixel
with several of the same color.
For example, if you set the scaling factor to 2, one pixel
becomes 2×2 pixels of the same color. No attention is paid to
the surrounding pixels or to transitions. For certain graphics
(mainly pixel art or similar in very low resolution), this may
give better results than other methods.

* ⚓ The Verge ☛ Tesla’s_graphics_are_about_to_get_Unreal_|_The_Verge⠀⇛
Unreal Engine is perhaps best known as a development tool for
video games, but Epic has been making a bigger push as of late
for automakers to use Unreal Engine. Currently, Tesla uses the
Godot engine for the visualizations, according to greentheonly,
so if Tesla switches to Unreal Engine, it would join a growing
number of automakers that use Epic’s engine inside its cars,
including Rivian, Ford, GMC, Volvo, and Lotus.
* ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ I_really_like_Home_Assistant’s_triggers_and
actions_model_for_its_flexibility⠀⇛
After a while, I realised that sometimes if I want to play
something late at night, I want to play with different settings
(mainly lower volume) so I added a “set volume to night mode”
to a long press of brightness down. And then I used short
presses for up/down to turn volume up and down so I can
finetune easily if I’m playing games from my desk.
I understand how for many non-technical user, simplicity is a
benefit. But separating inputs/triggers from outputs/actions
opens up the game to so many amazing things you can do. In Unix
community, that’s a philosophy called Do one thing and do it
well and it’s a great guideline for building products when
combined with interoperability so you can combine products and
tools as you wish.

block_in_GCC_version_16⠀⇛
Itanium IA-64 support is a mess in the Linux compiler right
now. The GCC test suite has reportedly not been run against the
architecture in a year, and there is no active maintainer for
the IA-64 codebase. The cherry on top is that emulation of IA-
64 instructions is slow and incomplete, and hardware support is
becoming exceptionally rare as Intel discontinued the
architecture back in 2021.
* ⚓ GCC ☛ Current_ports_without_maintainers⠀⇛
Here is the list of ports without a maintainer in MAINTAINERS
with some
extra information on when the last time the port was touched
for non
infrastructure changes:
epiphany - Jeff Law and Jakub Jelinek did a fix each in 2024
before
that Joern Rennecke did a fix in 2016
m32c - Last fix done by Bernd Edlinger in Jan 2015
rl78 - Last fix done by Jeff Law in October 2018
ia64 - LRA enabled in 2024 before that the last fixes were in
2020
I think we agreed on making ia64 obsolete, what about the other
3?
I think we should have a requirement of the bare minimum for a
port is a
maintainer.
I also vote to have a testresults for the target at least once
a year.
Thanks,
Andrew Pinski

Quoting: Hands-on: We ran full desktop Linux apps on an Android phone! -
Android Authority —
The Linux Terminal app is set for some major upgrades in an upcoming
Android release. If you’re unfamiliar, the Terminal app lets you run
full-fledged Linux programs in a virtual machine, opening the door to
running many powerful tools that aren’t natively available on
Android. Initially, the Terminal app was limited to running command-
line applications, but a recent Android update introduced support for
graphical apps. Despite some lingering issues, we were surprised by
how capable it already is. If you’re interested in trying this out,
here’s how to get started.
First of all, you’ll need to have a Pixel 6 or later running the
latest 2507 Android Canary release, as this is currently the only
public build with support for running graphical Linux apps. While the
second quarterly release of Android 16 (QPR2) might introduce this
feature more broadly, we won’t know for sure until the public beta
arrives.

* ⚓ KDE_🌞_Gear_25.08_-_KDE_Community⠀⇛
KDE Gear is back with a cool wave of apps for your summertime
desktop!
Whether you need to brush up on your languages to visit exotic
lands, plan your trips, keep up to date while on the move, meet
up with friends and colleagues, create content from your
holiday clips, or just chill as your quaint steam engine
trundles up a picturesque peak, KDE Gear 🌞 25.08 has got you
covered.
Check out what’s new below!
* ⚓ KDE_Gear_25.08_Apps_Collection_Rolls_Out,_Here’s_What’s_New⠀⇛
Today, over a month after the 25.04.3 release, the KDE team has
rolled out the brand-new KDE Gear 25.08 “Summertime Edition”
apps collection, bringing a range of new features.
One of them is aimed at travelers, who will appreciate the
upgrades to Itinerary, KDE’s all-in-one trip management tool.
In this release, you can now manually enter train or bus trips
without relying solely on timetables, making it easier to plan
journeys in places where schedules aren’t fully digitized.
It also expands its alternative connection searches to include
ferries and flights, plus lets you pick any transfer stop as
your destination. And once you’re on the move, new live maps
from OpenRailwayMap provide detailed views of rail
infrastructure, track speeds, and more.

Quoting: Jasem's Ekosphere: KStars v3.7.8 is Released —
KStars v3.7.8 is released on 2025.08.13 for Windows & Linux. MacOS
release is pending. It's a bi-monthly bug-fix release with a couple
of exciting features.
The moment many of you have been waiting for has arrived! John Evans
has introduced the highly anticipated Live Stacking feature to Ekos,
seamlessly integrated into the FITS Viewer. Once you configure your
live stacking directory, any FITS images added will be automatically
stacked in real-time.
This feature works independently of your existing sequences or
scheduler sessions, allowing you to configure the live stacker to
process captured images for an enhanced view of your final results.
It's particularly valuable for public observatories and star parties,
where real-time feedback can greatly enhance the viewing experience.
Since Live Stacking is still in beta, we welcome your feedback and
suggestions for improvement. Check out the demonstration videos below
to see the feature in action and learn about its capabilities.

* § Python⠀➾
o ⚓ LWN ☛ Python_performance_myths_and_fairy_tales⠀⇛
Antonio Cuni, who is a longtime Python performance
engineer and PyPy developer, gave a presentation at
EuroPython 2025 about "Myths and fairy tales around
Python performance" on the first day of the conference in
Prague. As might be guessed from the title, he thinks
that much of the conventional wisdom about Python
performance is misleading at best. With lots of examples,
he showed where the real problems that he sees lie. He
has come to the conclusion that memory management will
ultimately limit what can be done about Python
performance, but he has an early-stage project called SPy
that might be a way toward a super-fast Python.
He started by asking the audience to raise their hands if
they thought ""Python is slow or not fast enough""; lots
of hands went up, which was rather different than when he
gave the presentation at PyCon Italy, where almost no one
raised their hand. ""Very different audience"", he said
with a smile. He has been working on Python performance
for many years, has talked with many Python developers,
and heard some persistent myths, which he would like to
try to dispel.
* § Applications⠀➾
o ⚓ LWN ☛ The_NNCPNET_email_network⠀⇛
Running a modern mail server is a complicated business.
In part, this complication is caused by the series of
incrementally developed practices designed to combat the
huge flood of spam that dominates modern email
communication. An unfortunate side effect is that it
prevents people from running their own mail servers,
concentrating people on a few big providers. NNCPNET is a
suite of software written by John Goerzen based on the
node-to-node copy (NNCP) protocol that aims to make
running one's own mail servers as easy as it once was.
While the default configurations communicates only with
other NNCPNET servers, there is a public relay that
connects the system to the broader internet mail
ecosystem.
[...]
NNCP is a spiritual successor to the unix-to-unix copy
protocol (UUCP) in the same way that SSH is a spiritual
successor to rsh. Sergey Matveev created the project to
be an easier to use, more secure replacement for UUCP.
Like its predecessor, NNCP is both a (relatively simple)
protocol, and a suite of reusable single-purpose command-
line tools. The project's code is licensed under the
GPLv3.
As with early computer networks, routing in NNCP is
manual. In order to contact a host, the user needs to
explicitly tell NNCP what routes are available to connect
to it. In modern parlance, that makes it a friend-to-
friend network, where each computer connects only to
computers that the owner knows about and trusts. This
makes it impossible to tell exactly how many people are
using NNCP, because there's no network-wide consensus on
membership. Routes may also be indirect: if two servers
aren't directly connected, but they both know how to
reach some third server, they can be configured to talk
to each other via the third server. This avoids the need
for explicit bang paths in each email, but is still a
form of manual routing. In practice, many users likely
have a connection to the quux.org server operated by
Goerzen for this purpose.
* § Debian⠀➾
o ⚓ LWN ☛ Don't_fear_the_TPM⠀⇛
There is a great deal of misunderstanding, and some
misinformation, about the Trusted Platform Module (TPM);
to combat this, Debian developer Jonathan McDowell would
like to clear the air and help users understand what it
is good for, as well as what it's not. At DebConf25 in
Brest, France, he delivered a talk about TPMs that
explained what they are, why people might be interested
in using them, and how users might do so on a Debian
system.
McDowell started with a disclaimer; he was giving the
talk in his personal capacity, not on behalf of his
employer. He wanted to talk about ""something that is
useful to Debian and folks within Debian"", rather than
the use of TPMs in a corporate environment.
McDowell has been a Debian developer for quite some
time—more than 24 years, in fact. Professionally, he has
done a lot of work with infrastructure; he has written
networking software, high-end storage systems, and
software-defined networking. He has also run an ISP. To
him, TPMs are simply ""another piece of infrastructure
and how we secure things"".
Unfortunately, there is a lot of FUD around TPMs, he
said, especially now that Microsoft is pushing TPM
devices as part of the baseline requirement for Windows
11. That has been part of the baseline since it was
introduced, of course, but with the end-of-life
approaching for Windows 10 people are starting to take
more notice.
o ⚓ LWN ☛ Debian_grapples_with_offensive_packages,_again⠀⇛
A pair of packages containing fortune "cookies" that were
deemed offensive have been removed from the upcoming
Debian 13 ("trixie") release. This has, of course, led to
a lengthy discussion and debate about what does, or does
not, belong in the distribution. It may also lead to a
general resolution (GR) to decide whether Debian's code
of conduct (CoC) applies to the contents of packages.
The fortune program prints out a random quote or other
piece of text from one or more topic databases. On
Debian, for example, the topic categories shipped with
the fortunes package include art, ascii-art, food, love,
Linux, pets, Star Trek, and more. Those are installed by
default when one installs fortune-mod, the package that
contains the fortune program.
* § Kernel⠀➾
o ⚓ LWN ☛ [Linux]_6.17_Merge_window,_part_1⠀⇛
As of this writing, just over 4,000 non-merge changesets
have been pulled into the mainline repository during the
6.17 merge window. When he announced the merge-window
opening, Linus Torvalds let it be known that, due to a
busy personal schedule, he was likely to pull changes
more quickly than usual this time around; that has been
borne out to some extent. Changes merged so far are
focused on core-kernel and filesystem work; read on for
the details.
o ⚓ LWN ☛ Improving_control_over_transparent_huge_page_use⠀⇛
The use of huge pages can significantly increase the
performance of many workloads by reducing both memory-
management overhead in the kernel and pressure on the
system's translation lookaside buffer (TLB). The addition
of transparent huge pages (THP) for the 2.6.38 kernel
release in 2011 caused the kernel to allocate huge pages
automatically to make their benefits available to all
workloads without any effort needed on the user-space
side. But it turns out that use of huge pages can make
some workloads slower as the result of internal memory
fragmentation, so the THP feature is often disabled. Two
patch sets aimed at better targeting the use of
transparent huge pages are currently working their way
through the review process.
Over the years, the kernel has evolved a number of ways
to control the use of THP; they are described in
Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst. At the global
level, the /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
knob controls behavior system-wide. It can be set to
"always" or "never" with obvious results. This knob also
supports the "madvise" setting, which only enables THP
for processes that explicitly opt in for specific memory
regions with a call to madvise(). The kernel, in other
words, allows for the imposition of a system-wide policy,
with the possibility of restricting THP usage to places
where applications have explicitly enabled it.

In the past, we have seen various consumer-grade Arduino and

There are multiple touchscreen technologies in use today and
Sadaghdar explains three of them in the video: infrared grid
(often called “infrared touch frame”), resistive, and
capacitive. But capacitive touch is the standard these days, as
it is the most convenient and versatile. As the name suggests,
capacitive touch sensors work by detecting changes in the
capacitance between electrodes. Your fingers alter that by a
measurable amount, so it is simple enough to register a touch
across a single driver/receive electrode pair.

Not just any PCB business card: a PCB business card that can

* ⚓ Hackaday ☛ 2025_One_Hertz_Challenge:_A_Game_Of_Life⠀⇛
The 2025 One Hertz Challenge asks you to build a project that
does something once every second. While that has inspired a lot
of clock and timekeeping builds, we’re also seeing some that do
entirely different things on a 1 Hz period. [junkdust] has
entered the contest with a project that does something rather
mathematical once every second.
* ⚓ Hackaday ☛ 2025_One_Hertz_Challenge:_Digital_Clock_Built_With_Analog
Timer⠀⇛
You can use a microcontroller to build a clock. After all, a
clock is just something that counts the passage of time. The
only problem is that microcontrollers can’t track time very
accurately. They need some kind of external timing source that
doesn’t drift as much as the microcontroller’s primary clock
oscillator. To that end, [Josh] wanted to try using a rather
famous IC with his Arduino to build a viable timepiece.

* ⚓ Mira Welner ☛ The_Software_of_Science⠀⇛
It is not due to lack of skill or care, but rather because
their focus is the science, not the code that serves the
science. There is a difference between code written by people
who don't care about their job, and code written by people who
care a whole lot about their job, but their job is the science,
not the code.
Now you could argue that the point of code is never really the
code itself, but the thing that the code does. This doesn't
change the fact that quality code is always important because
it ensures that the codebase is easy to maintain. And this is
all very true.

* ⚓ Daniel Hooper ☛ Snooping_On_Slow_Builds_(Using_Syscalls)⠀⇛
Many software projects take a long time to compile. Sometimes
that’s just due to the sheer amount of code, like in the LLVM
project. But often a build is slower than it should be for
dumb, fixable reasons.
I’ve had the suspicion that most builds are doing dumb stuff,
but I had no way to see it. So I’ve been working on a cross-
platform tool to help speed up builds (you can try it, see
below). It works with any build system or programming language.
Its timeline looks like this: [...]

* § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾
o ⚓ The Mill Build Engineering Blog ☛ Writing_Your_Own_Simple_Tab-
Completions_for_Bash_and_Zsh⠀⇛
Shell tab-completions can be very handy, but setting them
up is complicated by the fact that half your users would
be using Bash-on-Linux, while the other half will be
using Zsh-on-OSX, each of which has different tab-
completion APIs. Furthermore, most users exploring an
unfamiliar CLI tool using tab completion appreciate
showing a description along with each completion so they
can read what it is, but that’s normally only available
on Zsh and not on Bash.
But with some work, you can make your tab-completions
work on both shells, including nice quality-of-life
features like completion descriptions. This blog post
will explore how it can be done, based on our recent
experience implementing this in the Mill build tool
version 1.0.3, providing the great tab-completion
experience you see below in a way that works across both
common shells. Hopefully based on this, you will know
enough and have enough reference examples to set up Bash
and Zsh completions for your own command-line tooling.

The usual workflow for deploying image mode updates onto a host

§ New features in Bunsen
Let’s start with a feature visible right after opening the web

I love a cool Linux desktop configuration and have spent many
an hour tweaking them. Over the years, I've found there's one
way to make the most out of your desktop, and that's with an
app called Conky.
Conky is an overlay app that displays certain types of
information. For example, Conky can display the time, date,
day, system resources, and more. You can theme Conky and
configure where it lives on your desktop. In fact, there's
practically no limit to what you can do with Conky. It's super
flexible. You can even configure multiple widgets in Conky for
a totally personalized look.
Before I continue, there are two ways to configure Conky: the
hard way and the easy way. Since this is an introduction to
Conky, I'm going to show you the easy way of installing Conky,
adding themes, and configuring your widgets.

Quoting: The plan for Linux after Linus? A work in progress —
The Linux kernel is a remarkable creation. It has achieved a
fundamental status in the industry, and thus the world, unmatched in
scope, stability, and reputation. It powers lightbulbs to
supercomputers, not to mention the billion-plus global army of
Android. It covers a host of processors, a massive array of supported
devices and an unparalleled choice of distributions.
You know all this. You also know, but most probably rarely think of,
the regular cadence of new versions that come along more regularly
than the seasons. You may not know that each accumulates around
20,000 updates, some from future versions, some for code more than a
decade old. The kernel development and maintenance system has evolved
to manage whole classes of virulent ills, such as dangerously
insecure and deeply embedded CPU design flaws. People laud Apple for
making four hardware architectural transitions between the Motorola
68K in 1984 and Apple Silicon in 2024. Linux currently supports a
dozen or so. It’s hard to keep count.

abbategabriel changed the name of “Status bar” in Appearance

After reading the latest FreeBSD Journal “Netgraph for

ngbuddy(8), and immediately wanted to try it out myself.
I actually wanted to experiment with Netgraph for a while
now, but I could never figure out how to configure it
manually, as it is rather complicated. However, this
seemed like the perfect opportunity, so I installed
FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE in a fresh VM on my second Proxmox
VE and created a couple of Bastille VNET jails, which I
modified to use Netgraph.

* § Arch Family⠀➾
o ⚓ LWN ☛ Arch_shares_its_wiki_strategy_with_Debian⠀⇛
The final guideline is that everything is Arch-centric.
Content on the site may be useful for users running
different Linux distributions, and contributions are
welcome that may apply to other distributions, but
""something that will not work on Arch as-is is not
something we will be hosting on our site"". That, he
said, allowed the maintenance team to be focused on the
content Arch provides and helps to keep maintenance more
manageable.

For Linux users, VirtualBox 7.2 brings initial support for the upcoming Linux
6.17 and Linux 6.16 kernel series on both hosts and guests, improved Linux
Guest Additions support for Oracle Linux 10 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10
guests, as well as improved handling of the vboxvideo kernel module in the init
script for Linux guests.
Also for Linux users, the new VirtualBox release enables video decoding
acceleration for Linux hosts when the 3D option is active in settings, fixes
the swapped scan code for Pause and Num Lock keys in the table used when
relying on Xkb for translation for Linux hosts, and fixes a VBoxClient start
failure with Linux kernels 2.6 or older for Linux guests.

* ⚓ VirtualBox_7.2_Lands_with_ARM_Windows_Virtualization,_Linux_Video
Acceleration⠀⇛
VirtualBox, a popular open-source virtualization software, has
released its latest version, 7.2, moving on from the 7.1
branch, and marking the start of the 7.2 series with new
capabilities, a reworked interface, and a long list of fixes
for both hosts and guests.
One of the main highlights is the significant advancement in
ARM virtualization. Windows on ARM hosts can now run ARM-based
virtual machines directly, with support for virtualizing
Windows 11/ARM guests.
On top of that, the guest additions for Windows 11/ARM are
here, along with features like 2D and 3D graphics acceleration
and shared folder support.

Quoting: Wean yourself off of Windows with Linuxfx — I've tried many Linux
distros designed to look and feel like Windows, and this is the best one yet —
The hunt for Linux-based alternatives is ongoing, and I've tried
quite a few. One of my latest tests involves Linuxfx Winux
(abbreviated to Linuxfx for brevity), which is based on the latest
Ubuntu LTS. Linuxfx closely resembles the Windows 11 user interface,
and for good reason; this is a distro for those who want the Windows
experience as they move from Windows 10 or 11 to the world of Linux.
As many of us already know, Windows 10 will go End-of-Life on October
14, 2025, and yes, you can purchase a support package to keep your
Windows 10 install going. But if you don’t pony up the cash, then you
don’t get the support. Updates will end, and your once precious OS
will soon fall foul of nefarious users. So your options are to pay
up, switch to Windows 11, or perhaps give Linux a try. After all,
many of us spend 90% of our working day in a browser, so the
underlying OS doesn’t really matter.

* ⚓ India Times ☛ Perplexity_Google_Chrome_bid:_All_you_need_to_know_about
the_$34.5_billion_offer⠀⇛
Perplexity AI has made the $34.5 billion all-cash offer to
acquire Google’s Chrome browser despite being valued at just
$14 billion. The bid comes amid growing regulatory pressure on
Alphabet, with US authorities seeking a potential Chrome
divestiture due to antitrust concerns.
* ⚓ NDTV ☛ Explained:_Why_Did_Perplexity_Offer_$34.5_Billion_To_Buy_Google
Chrome⠀⇛
The bid lands in the middle of a fierce generative AI battle.
Tech giants like Meta and OpenAI are dangling massive paychecks
for talent, while both startups and established players spend
tens of billions annually on AI infrastructure. Chrome's reach
would give Perplexity unmatched access to users and search
traffic.
* ⚓ The BSD Cafe Journal ☛ Serving_a_simple_website_from_a_Jail_with
Bastille⠀⇛
The next step on the list is to acually alter the bastille
config to adapt it to our needs. Beware that in this guide I
assume that you’ve installed FreeBSD with ZFS – or that you
have a ZFS pool on hand that we can leverage. By default
FreeBSD calls this pool zroot (Which can be altered during the
install of FreeBSD). If you do not use ZFS be sure to not alter
the variables below – the default is not leveraging ZFS.
o § Mozilla⠀➾
# ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Driving_towards_a_double_bottom_line,_through
participation_and_choice [Ed: Mozilla's focus has gone mad]⠀⇛
As global political landscapes shift, mission-
driven organizations face a critical challenge:
creating resilient models that deliver meaningful
social impact and financial stability.
# ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Firefox_Add-on_Reviews:_YouTube_your_way_—
browser_extensions_put_you_in_charge_of_your_video
experience⠀⇛
YouTube wants you to experience YouTube in very
prescribed ways. But with the right browser
extension, you’re free to alter YouTube to taste.
Change the way the site looks, behaves, and
delivers your favorite videos.
§ Return YouTube Dislike
Do you like the Dislike? YouTube removed the
display that revealed the number of thumbs-down
Dislikes a video has, but with Return_YouTube
Dislike you can bring back the brutal truth.
“Does exactly what the name suggests. Can’t see
myself without this extension. Seriously, bad move
on YouTube for removing such a vital tool.”
