Why I Never Called the Serial Strangler From Microsoft a “Criminal”

Explaining What Microsoft Did

bout 3 days ago I received a PDF of a submission made by a proponent of Microsoft-controlled Restricted Boot. I was unconvinced by what was said there, as it seemed like an appeal to emotion, not facts. If you spend decades promoting an American monopoly and undermining security, do you expect protection from critics? Do you even believe that critics are allowed to exist?

New Steam Client Update Introduces Linux 64-Bit Support, Steam Achievement Sets

The November 11th Steam Client update is the first stable release to run the Steam Client itself as a 64-bit application on Linux, rather than a 32-bit one. However, Steam installations will still download 32-bit libraries as part of the Steam Runtime, since Steam needs to be able to run the many 32-bit games in its catalog.

Coming two months after Ardour 9.8, the Ardour 9.10 release introduces optional
support for audio waveforms that reflect the region’s gain envelope, so the
waveform of an audio region updates as you drag the gain envelope nodes around.


Ardour 9.10 also introduces a new option to move the region’s gain envelope
along with the contents of audio regions when slipping. Both features are
disabled by default and can be enabled in the Preferences window.

Quoting: Fedora KDE finally lets my monitors use different virtual desktops,
and it makes my second screen more useful —


     Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents:


     When I first moved to Fedora KDE, I played around with the virtual
     desktop feature for a little bit. It's a handy tool that lets you
     swap between different desktops by clicking on its icon on the panel
     or pressing a hotkey. However, I never truly gelled with it because
     when you swapped desktops, all of them changed.


     Ideally, I wanted something that would let me swap just one monitor's
     desktop. That way, I could have my main focus on the primary monitor
     and swap between desktops on my secondary. Fortunately, KDE
     implemented the feature a few months ago, and I've been loving it
     ever since.

    * ⚓ Linux's_Biggest_Problem_Isn't_Microsoft._It's_Linux_Users.⠀⇛


           Ask a Linux forum why your printer doesn’t work and there’s a
           fair chance you’ll find out what’s wrong with you instead. You
           bought the wrong model. You chose the wrong distribution. You
           didn’t read the wiki, or you read the wrong bit of the wiki, or
           you should have known the wiki was out of date. Somewhere along
           the way, the printer disappears from the discussion. You’re now
           defending your right to be annoyed by it.


           I’ve spent enough time using and writing about Linux to find
           this exhausting. An ordinary complaint becomes a test of
           character. Someone wants a working scanner, a setting restored
           or an application that survives an update. They get a lecture
           about personal responsibility from someone who has mistaken
           their configuration files for a moral achievement. Wanting your
           computer to work is a reasonable expectation. It shouldn’t
           require an apology.



    * ⚓ Compiz_Reloaded_-_OpenGL_compositing_window_manager_for_X11⠀⇛


           The software uses OpenGL to render application windows as
           textures, allowing windows and entire workspaces to be
           animated, transformed, and manipulated. Its plugin-based
           architecture separates core window management functionality
           from optional visual effects and additional desktop features.


           Compiz Reloaded is accompanied by several related projects,
           including CompizConfig Settings Manager (CCSM), the Emerald
           window decorator, and additional plugin collections. It is
           designed for X11 desktop sessions and does not function as a
           Wayland compositor.


           This is free and open source software.



    * ⚓ slsa-verifier_-_verify_software_build_provenance⠀⇛


           Software provenance describes how an artifact was produced,
           including its source repository, build environment and the
           system responsible for creating it. slsa-verifier checks
           cryptographic signatures associated with provenance
           attestations and compares the recorded information against
           expected values supplied by the user. This helps determine
           whether a downloaded binary, container image or package
           originated from an authorised build process. The tool supports
           provenance produced by SLSA GitHub generators and Google Cloud
           Build, and can be incorporated into automated workflows that
           verify software before distribution or deployment.


           This is free and open source software.



    * ⚓ FastHTML_-_HTML-first_Python_web_framework⠀⇛


           The framework emphasizes server-rendered HTML rather than
           complex client-side application architectures. It uses HTMX to
           update sections of a page in response to user interactions,
           reducing the need to write custom JavaScript.


           FastHTML builds on established technologies including Starlette
           and Uvicorn. Its design gives developers direct control over
           HTML and HTTP while providing abstractions that simplify common
           web development tasks.

    * ⚓ LiteDB_-_embedded_BSON_database⠀⇛


           The database supports transactional updates and includes
           recovery mechanisms for interrupted write operations. Its
           storage engine allows multiple readers to access data while
           coordinating modifications to preserve consistency.


           LiteDB also offers query facilities that integrate with .NET
           development practices. Applications can use expressions to
           select records or execute SQL-like queries for more complex
           retrieval operations.


           It is particularly suitable for desktop applications, small
           services and tools that need a self-contained document
           database.


           This is free and open source software.



    * ⚓ Haystack_-_graphical_editor_for_openQA_needles⠀⇛


           openQA is an automated testing framework that checks whether a
           system behaves as expected by comparing screenshots captured
           during tests against predefined reference images. These
           references, known as needles, identify the portions of an image
           that are important for determining whether a particular screen
           or interface element is present.


           Each needle consists of a screenshot and associated metadata
           describing the areas relevant to the test. Haystack simplifies
           the process of working with these references by providing a
           visual editing environment rather than requiring users to
           manipulate image coordinates and metadata manually.


           The application is particularly useful when maintaining
           automated graphical tests for Linux distributions, desktop
           environments and applications whose interfaces change over
           time.


           This is free and open source software.



    * ⚓ Marian_-_neural_machine_translation_framework⠀⇛


           The framework is designed for computational efficiency, with an
           emphasis on performing training and translation operations
           directly using optimised numerical computation. It supports
           both recurrent neural network architectures and Transformer-
           based translation systems.


           Marian is primarily intended for machine translation
           researchers and developers building translation services or
           experimenting with neural network architectures. Its command-
           line tools cover model training, validation and decoding, while
           its underlying implementation supports large-scale
           computational workloads.


           This is free and open source software.



    * ⚓ RxDB_-_reactive_document_database⠀⇛


           RxDB separates its database API from the underlying storage
           engine. This allows developers to choose a storage
           implementation suited to their application environment.


           The database also supports replication with existing backend
           services. Developers can connect RxDB to a remote data source
           without necessarily replacing their existing server-side
           database.


           The open-source core provides the main document database
           functionality, while certain additional plugins are available
           commercially.


           This is free and open source software.



    * ⚓ openGauss_-_relational_database_management_system⠀⇛


           The database incorporates optimisations for multicore
           processors, memory management and transaction execution. Its
           architecture includes techniques for reducing contention
           between concurrent operations and improving performance on
           systems with non-uniform memory access (NUMA) architectures.


           openGauss originated from Huawei’s database technology and
           provides facilities for high availability, transaction recovery
           and database administration. It also incorporates intelligent
           management capabilities intended to help administrators
           identify inefficient queries and optimise database
           configurations.


           This is free and open source software.



    * ⚓ Muffin_-_window_manager_and_compositor_for_Cinnamon⠀⇛


           The project provides libmuffin, which is integrated into the
           Cinnamon desktop process. Unlike conventional standalone window
           managers, Muffin normally operates as part of Cinnamon rather
           than running as an independent application. A separate muffin
           executable is also provided, primarily for development and
           troubleshooting.


           Muffin supports both X11 and Wayland. Under X11, it manages
           application windows and composites their contents onto the
           desktop. Under Wayland, it also functions as a display server,
           handling communication between applications, input devices, and
           the display system.


           This is free and open source software.



    * ⚓ NiceGUI_-_Python_framework_for_graphical_user_interfaces⠀⇛


           The framework is particularly suited to dashboards, robotics
           interfaces, smart home applications, data visualization, and
           machine learning tools. Applications can combine conventional
           interface controls with interactive charts, three-dimensional
           scenes, and real-time information.


           NiceGUI handles communication between the application and its
           interface, allowing developers to concentrate on application
           functionality rather than managing browser interactions.


           This is free and open source software.



    * ⚓ neovim-gtk_-_GTK4_graphical_frontend_for_Neovim⠀⇛


           This development branch began as a fork of daa84’s neovim-gtk
           project. It introduces substantial improvements to the
           rendering architecture, including a transition to GTK4,
           smoother window resizing, and changes to how graphical updates
           are processed.


           The application integrates Neovim with familiar desktop
           controls while preserving access to the underlying editor’s
           commands and functionality. Configuration is handled through
           Neovim’s settings and GUI-specific commands.


           This is free and open source software.



    * ⚓ UDPipe_-_trainable_natural_language_processing_pipeline⠀⇛


           The software is language-independent and can be trained using
           annotated linguistic data in CoNLL-U format. It is closely
           associated with the Universal Dependencies project, which
           provides a common framework for representing grammatical
           structures across different languages.


           UDPipe is intended for computational linguistics research,
           corpus annotation and applications requiring grammatical
           analysis of written text. It can process raw text using trained
           models or operate on partially annotated data, depending on the
           required processing stages.


           This is free and open source software.

Singapore is a very small country. It's a rich country.


In Singapore, technology is an important sector. It exports a lot of it.


According to Clownflare, Singapore is moving away from Microsoft (see above).

Quoting: In Memoriam: Tim Peters 1952–2026 - Core Development - Discussions on
Python.org —


     I am immensely sad to announce that Tim Peters has died earlier this
     year on July 15.


     It’s hard to overestimate Tim’s influence on Python. He’s probably
     best known for writing the Zen of Python (PEP 20), but to me he was a
     mentor and language co-designer long before that.


     Tim found Python not long after its initial release. His first deed
     was to convince me that Python should support mixed arithmetic
     between int and float, because most users would expect them to work
     that way. And he never stopped contributing.


     Tim quickly became a major phenomenon on the Python mailing list
     (including later incarnations and spinoffs), where he earned the
     nickname “Timbot” by his innumerable, careful and patient answers to
     user questions. These he filled with mild humor (always marked by
     wink or 0.5 wink) and often referred to as “channeling Guido”.

Coming a month after Libreboot 26.10, the Libreboot 26.11 release enables TPM
2.0 by default on Topton X2e N150, Supermicro X11SSH-F, ThinkPad X280, ThinkPad
X270, ThinkPad T480/T480s, and ThinkPad T580 devices, enables EDK2 by default
in Coreboot mkhelper, and adds a new naming scheme for ROMs.


Libreboot 26.11 also sets the FD size limit to 32MB in EDK2, uses defconfigs on
Coreboot and U-Boot, adds backward compatibility to ./mk inject, adds support
for randomizing MAC addresses by default on Intel IFD setups where GbE region
is used, and updates Arch Linux dependencies.

          o ⚓ Undeadly ☛ LibreSSL_4.3.5_and_4.4.1_released⠀⇛


                 The world moves on, and with it comes bugfixes and new
                 releases. The LibresSSL project has announced the release
                 of versions 4.3.5 and 4.4.1, in an announcement that
                 reads [...]


    * § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾


          o ⚓ Dedoimedo ☛ Linux_application_stores,_trust_and_utility⠀⇛


                 We all know that "modern" software packaging formats like
                 AppImage, Flatpak and the snap are the future, and that
                 they will revolutionize the Linux desktop. Wait, hold on.
                 Nope. That is not correct. This is the Utopian dream that
                 the Linux world (or parts thereof) would like to see
                 happen. And technically, I wouldn't mind having a fire-
                 and-forget solution to my software woes, either. After
                 all, if I can just grab an application, and use it
                 without thinking over 9,000 Linux distro permutations,
                 each with its own incompatible set of libraries, formats
                 and whatnot, sure, I would be very happy.


                 Alas, in the last couple of months, a few rather annoying
                 Linux-related things happened, prompting me, yet again,
                 to write about modern Linux software and how it fails the
                 basic goal of straightforward usability. Once again, we
                 have technology rather than philosophy, technobabble
                 rather than function. Let me show you.


          o ⚓ David Edmundson ☛ Malware_found_disguised_as_3rd_party_Plasma
            Extension:_Neonova_wallpaper⠀⇛


                 It has been brought to the attention of the KDE security
                 team that NeoNova Animated Wallpaper (https://github.com/
                 abbygraceton1992/NeoNova-KDE-Wallpaper) is shipping
                 malware.


                 This report came from Serg Star who spotted it reviewing
                 this code. It's great that we have people spotting this
                 stuff, though it may be too late for some.

Quoting: Linux application stores, trust and utility —


     I know that techies and developers have absolutely no clue why I'm
     ranting so, and they might even feel angry and indignant that I would
     dare challenge their darling projects. But the brutal truth of the
     matter is that Linux desktop functionality is regressing. Daily. A
     slow rot. Because with every passing year, it becomes even sadder and
     more ridiculous that certain things stay broken, or worse, get
     broken. I mean, media player functionality, why should it be so hard?
     Or figuring out who published the software.


     If Linux is ever to have a chance, then whatever solutions it offers,
     they must be at least as good as the competitors. Look here, you want
     to securely play your MP4 files, nope. You cannot. You can do your
     local machine, but anything beyond that, nope, the modern software
     methods won't let you. And what do you think will happen, a) people
     abandon their media and use the reduced-functionality software b)
     people abandon modern and inferior tooling and go back to insecure
     software that does everything, in this case version 3.0.20 that has
     zero compatibility problems? And why hasn't the VLC in the
     repositories been updated to the latest version? It's covered by ESM!
     Ubuntu Pro! That's the whole point of this framework!


     The same goes to finding your software. You want Krita? Well, the
     repos have outdated versions. You can try the AppImage, but if you
     want to use the stores, both write something that does not align with
     the official version, which does not inspire trust, especially
     considering the security posture of the modern formats. Plus, there's
     an actual version mismatch, too, to make everything even funnier. So
     what do I do? Who do I trust? Meanwhile, go Windows, go macOS, you
     get one version, one source, no headache. And everything works, and
     you don't need to fret over XWayland, Wayland, portals, and the rest
     of the technobabble.


     That's my report for October 2026. The Year of Linux. Or not.

The Linux Kernel is probably one of the best ecosystems to observe regarding
the impact of AI in programming. The critical importance of its code and its
maintainers' quality standards mean that patches, including but not only AI
slop, go through rigorous review and are often discarded. Still, the amount of
AI-produced code is often far higher than what the human reviewers can deal
with. Lorenzo Stoakes, a lead Linux reviewer for memory management, has elected
to step down from some of his former duties for exactly that reason.

          o ⚓ LWN ☛ Containers_as_a_recognized_kernel_object⠀⇛


                 The foundation of the design for containers in the kernel
                 is that there isn't one; there is no container
                 abstraction that the kernel recognizes. Instead, the
                 kernel provides a long list of components — namespaces,
                 control groups, sandboxing mechanisms, and more — along
                 with a note that says, in effect, "some assembly
                 required". There have been attempts (repeatedly) over the
                 years to turn containers into first-class objects with
                 kernel support, but they have never gotten far. Now Josef
                 Bacik is making a try with a concept that he calls
                 "cells".

                 We recently looked at how the kernel community is dealing
                 with the firehose of vulnerability reports, but said
                 little about how users of the kernel are responding. At
                 the 2026 Linux Plumbers Conference, Amazon employees
                 Dylan Johnson and Justinien Bouron discussed the problem
                 from the point of view of engineers trying to keep AWS
                 running and secure in the face of a storm of CVE
                 disclosures. The kernel community's longstanding advice
                 is to run current kernels, and that turns out to work —
                 sort of.


                 Bouron started by reminding the audience that the kernel
                 community became its own CVE numbering authority (CNA) in
                 2024. The immediate result was the issuance of thousands
                 of CVE numbers every year, forcing companies to rethink
                 how they handle kernel vulnerabilities. The engineers
                 running the AWS cloud were not immune to this change.

                 The 7.4 merge window, which closed on November 1,
                 included a record-breaking 18,591 non-merge changesets.
                 That is almost as many as the entire 7.3 development
                 cycle, which had 18,765, itself a record breaker. Of
                 those, 11,838 landed after the article covering the first
                 part of the merge window. Most of those were bug fixes of
                 various forms; it seems as though bug fixes may be
                 crowding out feature additions across the open-source
                 ecosystem to some extent. Still, a good number of new
                 features were included, and a handful removed, in the
                 tail end of the merge window.

                  users⠀⇛


                       The KDE Project announced, in 2025, that Plasma 6.7
                       would be the last version of the desktop
                       environment that would support X11 sessions. Those
                       who keep up with KDE's announcements no doubt
                       expected it when Plasma 6.8 dropped X11 support as
                       promised. What seems to have come as a surprise, at
                       least to a number of Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop
                       users, is that the Fedora 44 release—which shipped
                       in April with Plasma 6.6—received an update to
                       Plasma 6.8 that swept away the X11 session without
                       much warning. Despite the surprise, it is gone for
                       good: the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee
                       (FESCo) has voted against a request to revert the
                       update for Fedora 44 and the just-released Fedora
                       45.

                       The Debian project has wrestled with the topic of
                       LLM usage for years, which culminated in a general-
                       resolution vote this August. The project voted in
                       favor of the fifth, out of eight, option:
                       "Responsible Use of Generative AI". With the door
                       open to LLM use, the DFSG, Licensing & New Packages
                       Team (usually shortened to "DFSG team"), which is
                       relatively new, has started to employ LLMs in
                       sending out reviews of packages entering Debian's
                       new queue. The practice has raised a number of
                       objections and questions about where lines should
                       be drawn in the use of LLM-generated output.


                       [...]


                       Uploaders receive an email generated by the LLM
                       that states the review was performed by an LLM and
                       is not a review by a member of the DFSG team, with
                       a disclaimer that its review may be incorrect or
                       incomplete. According to McMillan's commit message,
                       if the LLM review claims that there is a blocker or
                       important licensing issue in an upload then it is
                       held from the queue for 24 hours. That seems to be
                       in conflict with the FAQ, though, which states that
                       uploads appear on the dashboard within ""a little
                       more than an hour"". A feature to allow uploaders
                       to answer or reject the LLM review was added on
                       October 19. If the uploader comments, the hold is
                       ended. If there is no comment, then the upload is
                       docked 50 points under the DFSG queue scoring
                       system. According to another commit a response adds
                       25 points. Note that the scoring system is somewhat
                       opaque, there is no list I could find that spelled
                       out the scoring explicitly. At the moment, the
                       package at the top of the dashboard (bucklespring)
                       has been in the queue for three days, and it has
                       424 points. At the bottom of the board is a package
                       with only 23 points (openbor) that has been in the
                       queue for seven hours.

                # ⚓ LWN ☛ Removing_binder.c⠀⇛


                       The final talk at Kangrejos 2026 was about the
                       removal of the C implementation of Android's Binder
                       driver, the primary interprocess communication
                       mechanism used on Android devices. Carlos Llamas
                       announced that he had deleted the C code to general
                       applause, and then shared some insights about what
                       went into replacing the C implementation. Alice
                       Ryhl, who has worked on the Rust implementation for
                       some years, added her own thoughts about what the
                       most difficult and interesting parts of the
                       transition were.


                       Binder was added to the kernel in 2008, Llamas
                       said, as an interprocess communication mechanism
                       for Android devices. Its design originated in BeOS,
                       but it has grown significantly since then. It
                       provides a rich set of operations for allowing
                       processes to communicate with the minimum amount of
                       overhead. It also, therefore, presents a large
                       attack surface for Android. Many complicated
                       chained attacks against Android have involved
                       Binder at one step or another, Llamas explained.
                       Google's internal "red team" (the team dedicated to
                       proactive security research) deemed Binder to be
                       the most vulnerability-dense component in the
                       entire operating system, with more CVEs per line
                       than anywhere else.


                # ⚓ LWN ☛ System-call_wrappers_for_glibc⠀⇛


                       In a followup to his session at the 2025 Linux
                       Plumbers Conference (LPC), Carlos O'Donell returned
                       to the topic of system-call wrappers for the GNU C
                       library (glibc) at this year's event. This time
                       around, he was joined by Florian Weimer, who is
                       another glibc maintainer. The idea was to give an
                       update on what has happened over the last year with
                       regard to Linux system calls that lack a glibc
                       wrapper, thus are only accessible via syscall(). In
                       addition, they wanted to hear from attendees about
                       their needs in this area.


                # § Python⠀➾


                      # ⚓ LWN ☛ Portable_Python_scripts_with_dependencies⠀⇛


                             A basic Python script is portable: it can be
                             copied between machines with little concern
                             about compatibility. A script that depends on
                             third-party packages requires quite a bit
                             more care and consideration, however. In
                             2023, PEP 723 ("Inline script metadata")
                             introduced a standard for declaring a Python
                             script's dependencies inside the script
                             itself. Several third-party tools can now
                             automatically install and manage those
                             dependencies, but there is still little
                             official support for this standard within
                             Python itself.

Quoting: My 5 favorite KDE Plasma Linux distros - and what makes each one
special - ZDNET —


     Believe it or not, this was a tough choice, and the other take on KDE
     Plasma competing for this spot is also from the team behind
     Dragonized. If you’ve not seen the Garuda Mokka edition, you’re
     missing out; it’s lovely. That being said, Garuda Linux (Dragonized
     Edition) is flat-out gorgeous. Of course, you have to have a penchant
     for neon, but even if you don’t, you can recognize the work that went
     into making this a very special distribution, and KDE Plasma had a
     big hand in that.


     It’s not just about the neon colors — the layout also helps to make
     it special. Actually, the Dragonized layout is the same as the Mokka
     layout: a dock and a top panel. It’s very MacOS-ish, but with so much
     more panache.


     As you might expect, even the Dragonized version of Garuda’s take on
     KDE Plasma is highly customizable, so if you want to tweak it, feel
     free. My guess is that you won’t want to touch the aesthetic of this
     distribution.

The November 11th Steam Client update is the first stable release to run the
Steam Client itself as a 64-bit application on Linux, rather than a 32-bit one.
However, Steam installations will still download 32-bit libraries as part of
the Steam Runtime, since Steam needs to be able to run the many 32-bit games in
its catalog.


In addition, starting with this release, the Steam Client now runs inside a
Steam Runtime container, which, according to Valve, will help the Steam Client
provide a more consistent experience across multiple Linux distributions. This
is the same technology used by Steam games.

Quoting: Over Ubuntu? Fedora is the Linux distro I'd hop to next - here's why -
ZDNET —


     In the world of Linux, distro hopping is practically a spectator
     sport. At some point, we get bored with the distro we’re using and
     decide to try something new. Perhaps there’s a distro that offers
     better features, works with more hardware, or has a larger support
     community. There are so many reasons for switching distros.


     However, for those new to Linux, the idea of leaving behind a
     distribution that’s been working just fine can be daunting,
     especially when you’re considering jumping to a distribution that
     isn’t as familiar and uses different technology.

Highlights of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.3 include sealed images for image
mode, now generally available, a production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP)
server for RHEL that moves from Developer Preview to general availability, and
a self-managed command-line assistant for regulated and disconnected
environments, available as a Developer Preview.


The sealed images for image mode provide end-to-end cryptographic integrity
protection, extending verification across the entire OS configuration, from
firmware and bootloader to the kernel and root filesystem, using your own
secure boot keys.

Quoting: These devices you own already run Linux, and you can do amazing things
with them —


     Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents:


     Linux is everywhere, even when it looks and feels nothing like the
     desktop operating system most people think of when they hear the
     name.


     That's because there's a difference between the Linux "kernel" and
     all the things that are bolted onto it when creating a "distro." When
     you install Linux on your computer, you're also installing a desktop
     environment and a bunch of other software modules that allow the
     kernel to manage and perform jobs we associate with desktop PCs.
     However, that's all optional, which is why you might be surprised
     that these gadgets you already own have a Linux heart under all the
     proprietary window dressing. Best of all, in some cases, that fact
     lets you do some pretty cool things.

Quoting: VoidStation - Void Linux-based distribution for home entertainment -
LinuxLinks —


     VoidStation is a Void Linux-based distribution designed to turn a PC
     into a home entertainment system. It provides a tile-based interface
     inspired by Windows 8, designed for navigation using a gamepad,
     remote control, mouse or keyboard.


     The distribution uses Openbox with the XLibre display server and a
     custom interface built with Qt 6. It provides access to live
     television channels, internet radio, YouTube, streaming services and
     locally stored videos and music. A dedicated media player supports
     hardware-accelerated video decoding, subtitles, audio track selection
     and playback controls designed for use from a sofa.


     VoidStation also supports gaming, with access to Steam, Proton-GE,
     game emulators and Moonlight for streaming games from another
     computer. Its AppCenter provides a selection of applications, games
     and emulators that can be installed and removed through the graphical
     interface.

Yesterday we_saw_number_of_indexed_IRC_networks_(listed_by_netsplit.de)_at_536
and today it's at "537_known_IRC_networks", which means further (and ongoing)
growth. As we put it earlier this year, more projects ought to realise the
importance_of_self-hosting_IRC, even if the network is shared_with_the_same_or
overlapping_group_of_people.


The more IRC networks in existence, the better. It would be undesirable for
many communities and projects to be controlled by the same "giant/s".


Tux Machines has not been on Twitter (rebranded since) for a long time and it
has been on IRC for about a decade already. It began in #tuxmachines at
freenode.org/freenode.net, which has since then become a slopfarm.


The fate of Freenode tells us about the fate of any other networks. Nothing
lasts forever.


Nowadays it seems like Libera.Chat is becoming the 'next Freenode' in the
negative sense; it tries to exercise control over people's views, so they walk
away. █

Quoting: WinKDE OS - Debian-based Linux distribution with KDE Plasma -
LinuxLinks —


     WinKDE OS is a Debian-based Linux distribution developed in Algeria
     by Achour Djerroud (Achour Tech Pro). It combines Debian 12 Bookworm
     with a customised KDE Plasma desktop and targets older computers with
     limited hardware resources.


     The distribution provides a desktop environment with custom themes
     and wallpapers. It also includes Wine and Proton support for running
     compatible Windows applications and games. The project aims to reduce
     resource consumption while retaining the functionality of a full KDE
     Plasma desktop.


     WinKDE OS supports legacy BIOS and UEFI booting, provides a graphical
     installation process and supports installation alongside Windows.

Quoting: Your ESP32 can now officially run full Linux —


     Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents:


     Espressif, the company behind the ESP32 chip, has officially
     published a Linux board support package for the ESP32-S31 on GitHub.
     It allows you to boot a full Linux operating system on the affordable
     microcontroller. This isn't a stripped-down, non-MMU version of Linux
     that was previously squeezed onto some models. Rather, the S31 has
     the hardware required to run a conventional Linux 6.18 kernel
     natively.


     The ESP32-S31 is a feature-rich model that offers a lot of bang for
     the buck. It comes with a dual-core RISC-V chip, Wi-Fi 6, Zigbee, and
     plenty of connections for external hardware and accessories. It's the
     same processor we recently covered inside this $39 touchscreen
     development board. The important perk that allows it to separate the
     kernel from applications is support for virtual memory.
