Hi,
I just ask myself how the update mechanism is running, e.g. the v2.2.2 is installed on Sable and without which I would have seen a reload of the app, the tool shows me the 2.2.2 in the settings. How can Flatpak reload this uninterrupted?

Are there any good FOSS apps that can convert videos to gifs?
I remember Video transcoder from the past. It does not seem to be in Fdroid currently, as it is probably too old.
Ubuntu and RHEL lack fixes for a Linux TCP use-after-free that Anthropic says it exploited to run commands as root on MPTCP servers.The Hacker News
On Linux, an application must request MPTCP when it opens a socket.
Ah nothing to worry about.
As of Go 1.24, Go programs do so by default for the sockets they listen on
Fuuuck

بگذارید با اعتراف به موضوعی کمی خجالتآور شروع کنم: شغل من منبع اصلی معنا در زندگی من است. نه از آن جهت که تصور کنم «نقش مهمی در زندگی انسانهای زیادی ایفا میکنم»، بلکه از جنبهای وجودیتر (اگزیستانسیال).
وقتی دورهی دبیرستان را تمام کردم و باید تصمیم میگرفتم با زندگیام چه کنم، تصمیم گرفتم در رشتههای فیزیک و فلسفه تحصیل کنم. این دو رشته را انتخاب کردم چون اشتیاق شدیدی داشتم تا نوعی «معنای زندگی» بیابم... و حس میکردم این دو رشته بهترین شانس من برای رسیدن به آن هستند.
خیلی وقت است که از یافتن معنای «زندگی، جهان و همهچیز» دست کشیدهام؛ اما خواندن فیزیک چیزی مرتبط به من داد. این یک مأموریت با جاهطلبی کمتر و متفاوت است، اما همچنان به زندگی من معنا میبخشد: سهیم بودن در علم (حتی به سهم کوچک خودم)، راهی برای مشارکت در پروژهی بزرگ بشریت برای شناخت کیهان و هرآنچه در آن است، محسوب میشود؛ و این ارزشمند و پرمعناست.
ما هنوز حتی به چرایی حضورمان در اینجا نرسیدهایم؛ هنوز داریم روی این کار میکنیم که «جهان چگونه کار میکند». اما فکر میکنم پاسخ به «چگونگی» اولین گام است و برای اینکه به زندگی من معنا بدهد کفایت میکند؛ حتی با وجود اینکه میدانم در طول حیات من پاسخی حاصل نخواهد شد، و حتی با علم به اینکه سهم من ذرهای ناچیز در این طرح عظیم است.
فکر میکنم درک اینکه چرا شغل دانشمندی را معنادار میدانم، برای خواندن ادامهی این یادداشت ضروری است.
آنچه این رشته افکار را کلید زد، پستی در شبکهی بلواسکای از «جو باک-کولمن» (Joe Bak-Coleman) بود (که توسط کارل تی. برگستورم بازنشر شده بود).
وقتی آن را دیدم، واکنش اولیهام چیزی در این مایهها بود: «من آن دانشمندان را درک میکنم. در واقع فکر میکنم بررسی "علم توسط هوش مصنوعی" (AI Science) دقیقاً در بطن روح علم است». شگفتانگیز خواهد بود اگر بتوانیم آهنگ کشفیات هیجانانگیز را تسریع کنیم یا شاید (در زمانی در آینده) به بینشهای جدیدی دست یابیم که انسان حتی نمیتوانست تصورش را بکند.
نه تنها فکر میکنم بررسی اینکه آیا «علمِ هوش مصنوعی» میتواند به واقعیت بدل شود کاری درست برای دانشگاهیان است، بلکه معتقدم کاری شجاعانه است. (البته منظورم دانشگاهیان و پژوهشگران است؛ ابرشرکتها دلایل شوم خودشان را دارند). برای دانشمندی که مشغول کار است، شجاعت میخواهد روی چیزی کار کند که معنای کل کار زندگیاش را از بین ببرد و چیزی را که به زندگیاش معنا میدهد (انجام علم)، برونسپاری کرده و به رایانهها بسپارد.
بنابراین، کاری که اینجا انجام میدهم واکاوی این ایدهها و بررسی دقیقتر مفهوم «علمِ هوش مصنوعی» است.
این موضوع بحثبرانگیزی است، پس قبل از شروع یک فرض مهم را مطرح کنم: من در حال بحث دربارهی سناریوی آیندهای هستم که در آن هوش مصنوعی واقعاً در انجام پژوهش از انسانها بهتر عمل میکند.
میدانم استدلالهایی وجود دارد که میگوید هرگز به چنین نقطهای نخواهیم رسید، و شاید هم این استدلالها درست باشند. اما مزایا و معایب آن را اینجا بحث نخواهم کرد؛ چراکه خارج از حوصله این متن است. حتی اعتراف میکنم که اگر هوش مصنوعی بهتر از انسانها نباشد، نباید به آن اجازهی نزدیک شدن به علم را بدهیم، یا حداقل باید با بیشترین تردید از آن استفاده کنیم.
نکتهی آخر دربارهی این فرض: «بهتر بودن» لزوماً به معنای «خطاناپذیر بودن» نیست. پژوهشگران انسانی هم خطاناپذیر نیستند، و دقیقاً به همین دلیل است که روش علمی را برای اعتبارسنجی و بررسی نتایج داریم. پرسش این است که این فرآیند بررسی، وقتی تولیدکننده یک ماشین باشد، چگونه خواهد بود؟ در ادامه به آن میپردازم.
قبل از اینکه به علم برسم، کلمهای دربارهی هنر (داستاننویسی، نقاشی، سینما) بگویم؛ چون ارتباط آن مهم است. من در زمینهی هنر یک افراطی هستم: من شخصاً فقط خواهان هنر انسانیام و کموبیش خواندن کتابهای نوشتهشده پس از سال ۲۰۲۳ را متوقف کردهام. برای من، هنر یعنی به اشتراک گذاشتن تجربهی انسانی؛ بنابراین هنرِ خلقشده توسط یک ماشین، بنا به تعریف، برایم جالب نیست.
اما علم فرق میکند. در علم همهچیز حول همان «پروژه» میچرخد که در مقدمه گفتم. اجازه دهید توضیح دهم:
به باور من، فعالیت علمی را میتوان به دو بخش عمده تقسیم کرد:
اگر ابتدا مؤلفهی فناوری را در نظر بگیریم، فکر میکنم تقریباً جای بحثی نیست که ما در سریعترین زمان ممکن بهترین فناوری را میخواهیم و تا زمانی که نتیجهبخش باشد، فرقی نمیکند انسان روی آن تحقیق کرده باشد یا هوش مصنوعی. اگر یکی از عزیزان فردی بر اثر سرطان در حال مرگ باشد، اغلب مردم فقط راهکاری علمی میخواهند که او را درمان کند. من هم قطعاً همین را میخواهم.
اما تمرکز اصلی من روی مؤلفهی معرفتی است. من معتقدم علم باید برای انسانها بینش و فهم ایجاد کند.
بینشی که صرفاً به عنوان آثاری درون یا خروجی از یک هوش مصنوعی وجود داشته باشد، بیمعنی است. من میخواهم دانش در درون مغز انسانها باشد؛ تا جهان برای آگاهی و خودآگاهی انسان، برای بشریت، قابلفهمتر شود.
و اگر اینکه ماشینها ابتدا ادعای کشف دانشی بکنند به انسانها کمک کند تا به درک جدیدی از کیهان برسند، من از آن استقبال میکنم.
من عاشق هیجان کشف کردنم؛ تقریباً عاشق تکتک جنبههای علم و دانشمند بودن هستم. اما از دید من، پروژهی علمی دربارهی من نیست؛ بلکه دربارهی فهم بشریت از جایگاه خود در کیهان است. و اگر این پروژه بدون من در نقش پژوهشگر بهتر پیش میرود، وظیفهی من این است که کنار بروم.
(آه!)
ریاضیدان برجسته، «ترنس تائو» (Terence Tao)، نوشتههای زیادی دربارهی هوش مصنوعی دارد. دیدگاه او بهطور ویژهای جالب است، زیرا ریاضیات در حال حاضر حوزهای است که وضعیت مورد بحث ما، نزدیکتر از هر جای دیگری به واقعیت امروز است. بنابراین از افکار او بهرهی زیادی میبرم.
تائو وضعیت را در فوریه ۲۰۲۶ در مجلهی The Atlantic اینگونه توصیف کرد:
«این مسائل مثل نقاط دوردستی هستند که باید به سمت آنها پیادهروی و کوهنوردی کنید. در گذشته مجبور بودید کل مسیر را سفر کنید؛ در طول مسیر میتوانستید نشانهگذاری کنید تا دیگران دنبالتان بیایند و میتوانستید نقشه ترسیم کنید.»
این تصویری زیباست: دانشمند در جایگاه کاشف یک قارهی ناشناختهی دانش. اگر این تمثیل را به تمام علم تعمیم دهیم، به تصویر الف (در نمودار) میرسیم: دانش موجود ما مانند یک سرزمین نقشهبرداریشده است و مرز ناشناختهها در امتداد آن قرار دارد.
نکتهی حیاتی این است: تا پیش از این، "کشف" و "فهم بشری" پابهپای هم حرکت میکردند. روش گسترش دانش بشر این بود که کشف و درک، دوشادوش یکدیگر پیش میرفتند؛ برای رسیدن به چیزی جدید، باید مسیرتان تا آنجا را میفهمیدید.
اما وضعیت جدید با هوش مصنوعی (که به نظر میرسد اکنون در ریاضیات رخ داده) این است که نقشهی دانش ناحیهی جدیدی پیدا میکند:
در این ناحیه، مرز کشف و مرز درک و فهم از هم جدا میشوند. یک فضای عمیقاً جذاب گشوده میشود که در آن هوش مصنوعی بینشهای جدیدی دربارهی جهان کشف کرده است، اما هنوز هیچ انسانی آن را «نمیفهمد». در ادامهی این استعاره، من این فضا را «قلمرو بیصاحب / ثبتنشده» (Unclaimed Territory) مینامم.
اگر به مؤلفهی معرفتی علم برگردیم، وجود بخشهای بزرگی از جهان که کشف شده اما فهمیده نشده، میتواند وحشتناک به نظر برسد. تائو بدون اینکه صریح بگوید، به همین فضا اشاره میکند:
«ابزارهای هوش مصنوعی مانند این هستند که با هلیکوپتر شما را در مقصد پیاده کنند. شما تمام مزایای خودِ مسیر و سفر را از دست میدهید. مستقیماً به مقصد میرسید، در حالی که رسیدن به مقصد، فقط بخشی از ارزش حل آن مسئله بود.»
او همچنین در جایی دیگر میگوید:
«ابزارهای مدرن هوش مصنوعی بدون نظارت خبرگان میتوانند روی اهداف ظاهری رشته متمرکز شوند، بدون هیچ انگیزهای برای پیمودن مسیر آهسته و مکاشفهآمیز. پرچم فتح میشود، گل به ثمر میرسد و مسئله حل میشود؛ اما به قیمت از دست رفتن درسهای آموختهشده، بینشهای کسبشده، همکاریهای شکلگرفته و اهداف جدیدی که میشد در مسیر یافت.»
تائو حتی مقالهای با عنوان «ناهمراستایی شدید هوش مصنوعی در ریاضیات» نوشت و اعلام کرد که اهداف شرکتهای هوش مصنوعی با جامعهی ریاضیدانان ناهمراستاست؛ چراکه «حل مسئله صرفاً ابزار و نمادی است برای رسیدن به هدف اصلی، یعنی درک مفهومی و بینش». من و تائو کاملاً در این هدف معرفتی و ایجاد بینش برای انسان همنظریم.
اما تفاوت دیدگاه من با تائو (که بحث را جذاب میکند) در اینجاست: من فکر میکنم پیشی گرفتن هوش مصنوعی از درک بشر میتواند چیز فوقالعادهای باشد.
تائو نگران «سوءهاضمهی اثباتها» است؛ یعنی اثباتهایی که تولید و حتی درستیسنجی میشوند، بدون اینکه توسط مغز انسان هضم (= فهمیده) شوند.
اما عجله برای چیست؟ قلمرو وسیع و بازی را تصور کنید که میتوانیم سرِ فرصت و با فراغ بال در آن کاوش کنیم. ما مجبور نیستیم پابهپای سرعت کشف ماشینها بدویم؛ میتوانیم با «سرعت انسانی» خودمان پیش برویم و ذرهذره آن را هضم کنیم تا دانش کاملاً در ذهن انسان جا بیفتد.
این ایده را در نظر بگیرید: چه میشود اگر کاوش در این "قلمرو بیصاحب" بسیار لذتبخش و سرگرمکننده باشد؟ شاید پیاده شدن با هلیکوپتر روی قله آنقدرها هم بد نباشد!
نقشهبردار معرفتی (پژوهشگر انسان) بر فراز قلهای فرود میآید که ماشینها آن را یافتهاند؛ حالا پژوهشگر میتواند از این قله مسیرهایی به سمت سرزمینهای قبلاً شناختهشده ترسیم کند و قله را به دانش قبلی پیوند دهد، یا از این ارتفاع، به سمت قلههای همسایه برود که تنها از این نقطه در دسترس بودند.
رسیدن به مقصد با هلیکوپتر لزوماً به معنای رد شدن از سفر نیست؛ بلکه مبدأهای جدیدی برای شروع سفر در اختیار ما میگذارد. به شما میگوید کدام مسیرها ارزش پیمودن دارند و مقصدی پیش پای شما میگذارد تا به سویش حرکت کنید.
اینکه بدانید گزارهای «درست» است و بفهمید جایگاه کلی آن در چشمانداز دانش کجاست، درِ جدیدی برای درک آن مسئله باز میکند. هر دانشآموزی که روی مسئلهای گیر کرده و از روی پاسخنامهی آخر کتاب، مسیر را به عقب برگشته تا راهحل را بفهمد، این تجربه را درک میکند. «حل مسئله از انتها به ابتدا» شاید بار منفی داشته باشد، اما در پروژهی علمی اینطور نیست؛ هدف ما بیرون کشیدن رازها از دل جهان است و هر روشی ارزش دارد!
در تاریخ علم نیز سابقه داشته که ما پاسخها را در دست داشتیم و دههها طول کشید تا آنها را از نظر تئوری درک کنیم:
در ریاضیات نیز ایدهی نتایج بدون اثبات چیز جدیدی نیست: سرینیواسا رامانوجان، که در سال ۱۹۲۰ در سن ۳۲ سالگی درگذشت، دفترچههایی پر از فرمولها و نتایج شگفتانگیز بدون هیچگونه اثباتی بر جای گذاشت؛ ریاضیدانان یک قرن است که وقت خود را صرف درک این موضوع کردهاند که چرا یافتههای او درست بودهاند و از دل کشفیات او، مفاهیم عمیقی خلق شده است. ماشینهای هوش مصنوعی نیز میتوانند مانند رامانوجانهای عصر ما باشند.
به این ترتیب، در دورانی که کشفیات ماشینها از درک ما سبقت میگیرد، علم به پایان نمیرسد؛ بلکه ماهیت کار علمی بازتعریف میشود. دانشمندان به «نقشهبرداران معرفتی» (Epistemic Surveyors) تبدیل خواهند شد؛ کسانی که کارشان صرفاً رقابت با رایانهها بر سر کشف دادههای خام نیست، بلکه اتصال دستاوردهای ماشین به پیکرهی درک و آگاهی بشر است تا جهان همچنان برای ذهن انسان معنادار و قابل فهم باقی بماند.
So, Konsole shipped by default with KDE Plasma, my current Desktop Environment. While I don't have a problem with it, I am interested in what other people are using, because there very likely is something better out there.
Specifically I've seen talk of Kitty and Alacritty, although I've also read that the dev of Kitty is allegedly kind of a jerk, so I am specifically interested in how Konsole matches up to Alacritty in your experience, but other suggestions and general terminal emulator discussion are also welcome!
Who's up for more not‐snorkeling content??? Cause... that's all I got. Anyways, I'm still on Catalina Island in this old vlog, and you should come hang out with me while I explain what tide pools are, fail to make any crustacean friends, and do my best not to eat shit.

An interesting project. I personally prefer the NetBSD userland to the BusyBox/GNUish userland AlpineBSD goes for, but it having s6 out of the box makes it something I'm seriously considering for a hypervisor server. I've heard that s6 could be really good for setting up that sort of thing.
Computer gone. What do? 😔
This was on debian. I THINK the package was libssl3:i386. Ran sudo apt upgrade noticed the upgrade for that package was held back. I'm not exactly a linux understander so this was probably stupid and where I went wrong. Ran sudo apt-get install libssl3:i386. I notice that in the command line is showing a lot of lines that start with removed. Screen pops up that basically says hey this is a bad idea and if you go through with this you will be on your own, abort? I abort.
At this point everything seems fine. I try to open a .desktop file and there is no longer an application capable of this. Weird. A bit later I open my app drawer. Where are some of my applications? I close it and open it again, more applications gone. Dread. Fear.
I restart my pc.

ベルギーのペーター ヴァン デン エンデの『旅する小舟』。
すごいよかった。
本屋・生活綴方のギャラリースペースに飾ってあって、表紙絵で目を惹かれ、ショーン タンが帯文を書いており、岸本佐知子が解説というのが駄目押しで買ってしまいました。
とてもよかった。特に夜の星空や月の出た夜空のページ。
星を結んで動物などに見立ててみたり、月の模様に兎が餅付きをしている様子を見て取ったり僕達はするわけだけど、同じように、海産生物達の持っている世界観はこうなのかも知れないと思わせる絵になっているページ達で見惚れてしまう。そして、完全に文字無しの絵本というのも、ゆっくり考えることができて心地よい。

Misfits Booksレーベルの二冊目。前回の『デザインはみんなのもの』がよかったので、本と何かに関するイベントBook&Something 2026で見掛けてこの本も買いました。
吃音を持っている人へのインタビュー集なのですが、テーマは「吃音プライド」。
吃音を劣った障害ではなく、ニューロダイバーシティの一つとして捉え、プライドを持つべき対象という考え・ムーブメントが吃音プライドという物らしいです。僕はこの本を読むまでその考えの存在すら知りませんでした。
更に素晴らしいのはこの本に掲載されているインタビュイーの誰もが、（きっと本人は吃音プライドを持っているのだけど）誰しも吃音プライドを持つべきだ、とは考えていないことです。プライドを持つべきというと「正しさの押し付け」になってしまう。そうではないが、自分から発想できない選択肢として吃音プライドを知ることはいいことだ、という冷静なスタンスです。
この本はイギリスのコナー フォーランというデザイナーが出している、DysfluentというZINEの二号の抄訳です。
前書き代わりに翻訳者である宮本裕人がコナー フォーランにインタビューした記事も載せていて、他のインタビューに匹敵する充分な長さのインタビューです。しかもインタビュアーとインタビュイーのどちらも吃音を持っていて、これは気の利いたという以上にDysfluentの相似になっている天晴な仕事だなと思いました。
コナー フォーランはデザイナーで、吃音の発話をタイポグラフィーで表現しており、Dysfluentでそのフォントが使われている。本書では原著の写真紹介や章扉などでそれが伺えます。
そして、翻訳版ではデザイナーの井上麻那巳が日本語版に合わせて表紙などのフォントをデザインしている。原著へのリスペクトがすごいですね。
僕も原著が欲しくなってしまった（日本で取り扱っている所を見付けたら是非教えてください）。
気の利いたことが言えればよかったけど散発的に感想を書いて終わりです。
Misfit Booksの次の本もきっと買います。
You can also read The problem with the anti systemd attitude.
This is not just hatred towards systemd, it can do things very well, the direction it is going isn't great.
Definitely a very good post.
It reminds me of Chimera Linux's stance on systemd, which I found to be the best explanation on systemd before these blog posts.
We love our revenge stories on this show, and this is a good one.

Ich habe hier eine inzwischen alte Festplatte, deren Kapazität erschöpft ist. Dabei weiß ich, dass sie eine Menge Zeug gespeichert hat das ich heute nicht mehr benötige, aber auch solches das ich nicht einfach unbekümmert löschen möchte.
Welche Tipps habt ihr um dort auf eine angenehme Art Platz und/oder Struktur zu schaffen?
Die Daten sind nicht mit irgendeinem einheitlichen System abgelegt, deswegen habe ich zunächst oberflächlich angefangen und im Dateimanager die üblichen Sortierungen vorgenommen: Erstelldatum, Änderungsdatum, Größe, Typ. Dadurch habe ich gefühlt minimal bessere Übersicht bekommen und weniges ordnen und löschen können. Durch die vielen Verzeichnisse und Verschachtelungen wäre es manuell sehr aufwendig den kompletten Inhalt so durchzuarbeiten.
Deswegen habe ich gedacht, ich zerkleinere den einen riesen Berg in kleine, übersichtlichere indem ich Typen wie MP3 und JPG alle zusammen in je ein Verzeichnis schiebe und außerdem noch die Prüfsummen jeder einzelnen Datei ermittle und protokolliere.
Damit hätte ich eine Basis um Duplikate zu erkennen und zu löschen, gewinne dadurch etwas Platz und kann die MP3 und JPG nach und nach in eine neue Struktur überführen (manche sind bestimmt noch in alten Download-Verzeichnissen oder so). Das reißt aber neben den gewollten Lücken auch unweigerlich neue Wunden, weil plötzlich der Kontext fehlt. Zum Beispiel Urlaubsfotos mischen sich unter Memes. Demnach ist das auch nicht optimal. Es machte und macht nach wie vor Sinn unterschiedliche Dateitypen in einem Verzeichnis zusammengefasst zu haben die aus menschlicher Perspektive nicht auseinander gehören. Wie cover.jpg und titel1.mp3
Dieser kleinere Berg entsteht nach wie vor unter sehr hohem (Ressourcen-)Aufwand und teilweise ist fehleranfällig, da die Hard- und/oder Software nicht immer klar zu kommen scheint diese nach wie vor große Daten(teil-)menge zu verarbeiten.
Also: Welche Konzepte, welche Technik, welche Überlegungen, was auch immer hat euch geholfen einen Datendschungel nicht nur zu durchstreifen, sondern euch Orientierung zu bekommen und zu erhalten?

I was wondering if any communities exist that are entirely dedicated to people showing off stuff they put together. Either highly custom desktops, or cool automations, or a specific security setup. Stuff like this post: lemmy.ml/post/54225017
I know we can post them here, but feel like it would be a cool thing to have a dedicated comm for.
Over the decades I’ve seen the praise and critique of the "Unix way". I don’t remember reading about the aspect I’ll describe below. This might be a banality, and I haven’t invested much thought into it either. I’m just curious to hear your opinions.
At the core of the Unix way is that tools should do just one thing. Users very often need results that can only be achieved after doing several things. With only single-purpose tools at hand, users have to integrate them. In other words, the tool authors delegate integration to the users.
Here’s the idea I want to discuss. In programming languages, integrating various modules to achieve a goal is already a complex task because we often have to handle numerous failure modes and edge cases. In shell scripts this is much worse, since shells are more limited than programming languages. Writing a tool that does only one thing looks like avoiding the most complicated task. Which leads to a conclusion that the Unix way only works well in a rather small fraction of use cases; the majority of cases are better served by different approaches.
What do you think?
I'm confused what you're trying to say here. It sounds like you are trying to say that unix philosophy fails to address the difficulty of actually composing and integrating the simple primitives provided by GNU/Linux. But you could say that for any programming language.
Unless you are saying that the shell should have intermediate tools that are more specialized than the primitives. Like libraries or frameworks built on shell primitives. But I think for that sort of complexity, shell scripts are too slow and counterintuitive, and you should just use a proper programming language, like all the other complex specialized cli tools in the Linux ecosystem (nmcli, systemd, etc).
I see shell primitives as relics of the past, and I treat them like you might treat the buttons on a GUI. There's a button for copying items called cp, a button for moving items called mv, etc. I rarely compose these tools into complex scripts, and I almost never write bash scripts longer than like 10 lines. For any sort of complexity I use Python or Go.

Linux sound subsystem maintainer Takashi Iwai of SUSE began the Linux 7.4 sound pull request by noting that "the AI flood continues" with there continuing to be a lot of new patches coming as a result of AI/LLM agents devising patches as well as uncovering new kernel bugs.
Takashi went on to explain that it was another busy cycle with changes in the sound subsystem from lots of core code hardening to new platforms and codecs as well. The core ALSA code has been hardened against some race conditions, there's a buffer leak fix in the compression offload code, race fixes in the JACK code, and other race conditions and more typical C bug fixes. The OSS sequencer emulation code has also been marked as deprecated for Linux 7.4.
On the hardware side, the Linux 7.4 sound updates include support for compressed audio playback on SOF IPC4 with Intel Tigerlake and newer. There is also AMD ACP 7.0/7.F sound IP support with SoundWire and the PDM controller. The new AMD ACP 7.0/7.F IP appears for upcoming Ryzen Zen 6 platforms.
There are also quirks for many different Intel/AMD laptops from the likes of Lenovo, ASUS, HP, AAcer, HONOR, MSI, and others.
New codec drivers are for the ESS ES9039Q2M, Nuvoton NAU83G60 amplifier, Senary SN624x SoundWire SDCA codec.
Also new is the Qualcomm QAIF driver for their Shikra platform.

Cannot wait until a decade has passed and all the smart folk have already found ways to accurately detect generative AI code, have moved onto our own better OS ( vibe/cuck code free ) that runs faster than every other OS. All whilr we get to enjoy our rose garden from atop our high towet while everyone else baths in their vibe sewage, unable to remember their own name without chatgpt reminding them every second.
I'm more than down to make it a reality as I am slowly learning digital art and practicing and will most likely be able to pitch in real art for it.
While we're at it, we should also get a super smart AI to detect the blood type of any author. That way we can be extra certain they're not AI. They're both trivial detections to implement! Why hasn't anyone done it yet?

The systemd project has officially introduced support for developing programs in Rust, following the merger of a pull request submitted by Linux kernel developer Christian Brauner. The change, merged into the project’s main branch, establishes a new development option for systemd while keeping its existing C-based architecture intact.And before anyone assumes systemd is preparing a complete rewrite in Rust, that’s not the case. The maintainers agreed on a deliberately limited approach: Rust may be used only for new, standalone components that other parts of systemd do not depend on. Existing C code will remain untouched.
Another important decision concerns the build process. Rather than introducing Cargo, Rust’s standard package manager and build tool, systemd continues to use Meson for all builds. This keeps Rust development integrated into the project’s existing build infrastructure.
The implementation also places strict limits on dependencies. Rust programs use the no_std approach, meaning they do not rely on Rust’s standard library or external third-party crates. Instead, they interact with systemd’s existing C libraries through generated bindings.
For memory management, systemd provides its own Rust implementations of common container types, with allocation failures handled explicitly rather than causing the program to abort. The new infrastructure also includes wrappers for logging, command-line argument handling, event processing, and error management, allowing Rust utilities to behave consistently with their C counterparts.
Rust support is optional and automatically detected during configuration. Developers wishing to enable it need Rust 1.85 or later, bindgen 0.71.1 or later, and Meson 1.4 or later. Systems without the required toolchain can continue building systemd without Rust support.
Interestingly, initial tests show that a stripped Rust command-line utility occupies about 32 KB, compared to 20 KB for its C equivalent built with link-time optimization. This gives an early indication of the additional overhead, though the comparison involves only a small test program.
The first planned real-world application of this infrastructure is systemd-keyring-setup, a new utility intended to help manage certificates in Linux kernel keyrings. Its implementation is being developed separately, alongside additional Rust wrappers for systemd’s shared libraries.
For Linux distributions, the change introduces packaging considerations. Builds that enable all available features will need the appropriate Rust compiler and bindgen dependencies or must disable Rust support to avoid build failures.
Whether Rust becomes widely used within systemd will depend on future development, but the necessary groundwork is now in place.

I've written multiple projects with rust. It's painfully slow to compile.
And compiling foss rust projects regularly gets my computer to freeze up.
And compiling foss rust projects regularly gets my computer to freeze up.
Provide one example.
Good list, since the three projects use public runners people can check.
Tauri
They must be cheating building from scratch (including fetching dependencies from crates.io) in github actions in <2 minutes and never freezing, despite those runners gaining a bad reputation lately.
Servo
The github runners building it in 4 minutes without freezing must be fake. Or maybe you were building SpiderMonkey from source, and that part was the problem 🙂
Gram
If you mean the Zed fork, they must be cheating building from scratch (including fetching dependencies from multiple locations and repos) in <18 minutes (the total run includes running tests) in resource-limited codeberg runners, and never freezing.
I also built this locally, and despite this being a wild project, and resource limiting the build on a workstation with a ~10 year old CPU, it finished in <24 minutes, and the target dir size (the build dir for those not familiar) is a WOPPING 3GiB (the executable alone is ~220MiB, ~168MiB if you strip it).
github runners
10 year old cpu
target dir size
Although I'm not too sure about the state of github runners, these don't have to do with ram (the cause for OOM and likely the freezing) and 3G for the target dir feels VERY tame for a debug build
It was a release build just to be clear. Debug builds twice as fast (they have a custom profile with opt-level = 1) and indeed uses a lot more disk space.
ram
I just did a release build with --jobs=1, while measuring total RES memory of the cargo process tree. Number of pids ranged from 1 (just cargo, obviously) to 8, and max RES memory was ~3471MiB. So not too lightweight, but not buck breaking either (a system with 2GiB RAM free + zram shouldn't even swap).
People just have unrealistic expectations. Developers could optimize the compiler for memory usage, but that would make the compiler actually slower. And who would be the target audience of such optimizations? People who want to build big Rust projects on Raspberry Pi Zero?
OS: Debian 13.7. I use redlib, a reddit frontend, to read content on reddit but since last week I can only load communities, not the posts themselves. Example: I can load redlib.catsarch.com/r/NoStupid… but I cannot load any of the posts shown there. As output on the browser I get:
Failed to parse page JSON data: expected value at line 1 column 1 | /r/texts%2Fcomments/1xeaxvt/first_screenshot_is_my_dad_next_two_are_my_mom_i/.json?&sort=confidence&raw_json=1
Is reddit tinkering again with the code to force everyone that wants to access content to sign up with them?
Any workaround so far?

Trump is easing sanctions to let Russia export diesel, and Zelensky now says openly that the United States has chosen Russia over Ukraine. After a year and a half of careful diplomacy, Ukraine's approach to Trump has hit a wall.
In this video, I explain why Europe's approach to Trump has been built on a misunderstanding, and why the endless debate about how to talk to him misses the point. Then I look at what Ukraine and Europe should do instead.

"Just fork it." Dude benefits hugely from FOSS, go corporate through TLF, lie in bed with AI tech bros and use capitalist power to discourage dissent.
Don't make this a simple feud among school kids.
Piracy is usually frowned upon in FOSS communities, regardless of the financial benefit (or lack of) to the pirate.
Usually disclosing piracy is required for the kernel, as unclearly licensed code weakens the entire foundation of the GPL it was built on, and opens the door to companies legally arguing to ignoring this license themselves.
This has the potential to handicap the entire FOSS community, and most consider that more important than a couple bugs some vibe coder desperately wants to introduce.
Forking isn't piracy.
If AI trained from Stackoverflow pages is piracy, then the majority of software development would violate GPL licensing.
More over, the complaint made was about the disclosure of AI in a project, not in the existence of AI in the project.
Forking a software with pirated code is still retains its piracy unfortunately.
Stack overflow comments are CC BY-SA 4.0 licensed, specifically to avoid the issue of piracy. I doubt everyone copying from it is properly attributing to the source, but thats much different then pretending the license doesn't exist at all for personal benefit.
AI is trained without restriction on available internet content, including github where many AGPL projects exist.
Disclosure allows for a copyright respecting kernel to exist, still allowing pirates to fork it and add their stolen code if they want.
Unfortunately the entire kernel is just setting itself up for future legal issues, like what originally handicapped BSD because AT&Ts copyright claim over Unix.
If I reference some AGPL projects (without actually copying code) to write my own project, is that frowned upon in the FOSS community? My guess is no.
So to me the difference between the two sides, is about fair use. One side thinks AI training isn't inherently violating copyright licenses, and the other side thinks it is. FWIW, I believe the US courts side with former.
Yeah it is, thats why you'll hear 'cleanroom development' tossed around, to refer to someone that has never seen the other software's source is developing its replacement.
This matters legally because its an airtight way to prove no copyright could have been violated. Usually the community overlooks such minor violations to support new developers, but unfortunately this sentiment is changing fast thanks to the modern piracy landscape.
The term 'cleanroom' has gotten pretty muddied with AI taking it over to mean 'mathematically exclusively derived from the original source, but cleanroom makes us claim legal overship over someone else's work so that's what it is'. You can see how the meaning has drifted quite a lot once it reached marketing.
I haven't seen any precedent in US or other courts on the originality of AI code, but if you have any links I'd be interested in learning more. It would be quite a monumental ruling, because it requires us to ask - how small of an AI model is technically original?
If I train an 'AI' on a single pice of work, can I then claim ownership over it legally? Or does it specifically require whatever the current state of the art datacenters are at? Cause then its just legal for cooperation's to ignore copyright and no one else.
If I train an 'AI' on a single pice of work, can I then claim ownership over it legally?
I believe the US courts ruled that if you didn't have significant input over the result, it becomes public domain. But I believe they also ruled that if the output looks significantly different from any of the inputs, it's "transformative" and does not violate copyright.
to refer to someone that has never seen the other software's source is developing its replacement.
AGPL is open source code though. You're supposed to view it. If a human views an AGPL project source code once, is all code they write thereafter, inspired by that project and thus a violation of copyright?
This would completely break open source. And you can make the same argument for AI. Well aside from "AI isn't human" argument, which is a lazy argument that you can use the justify anything in regards to AI. Just because AI and humans are different doesn't mean that distinction matters from the perspective of fair use.

Soutenez Blast, nouveau média indépendant : blast-info.fr/soutenir
Nous entrons en campagne de financement avec cette vidéo où Denis Robert répond aux injonctions du pouvoir qui nous pousse à choisir le camp de l’ordre.
« Que les pauvres aient le sentiment de leur impuissance, voilà une condition première de la paix sociale » ? Cette citation de Maurice Barrès sert de starter à ce nouvel édito choc
Barres, inventeur d’un fascisme à la française avait tout compris. Une société d’ordre, une société qui choisit son camp entre les hordes de casseurs et d’anarchistes et la France des rentiers, des policiers et des commerçants est l’ultime argument d’un pouvoir agonisant qui n’a qu’une seule peur : que les pauvres desserrent leurs entraves pour dire stop.
C’est donc un édito d’octobre qui lance notre campagne sous le signe de l’indépendance du journalisme, d’une fin de règne trouble et violente et d’une poussée fasciste portée par des médias aveugles et aveuglés qui jouent le pouvoir contre la rue, les oligarques contre les dix millions de pauvres, notre réalité contre leur fiction.
Nous avons choisi notre camp et nous allons ici vous expliquer pourquoi, plus que jamais depuis la création de Blast, c’est vital de nous soutenir.

What would deeper AI integration on the Ubuntu desktop look like? Well, you don’t need to think too hard to find out.
A Canonical engineer has published a prototype launcher that simulates how on-device AI could be used to enhance and aid users of the Ubuntu desktop.
But the warty-prototype1 snap by Didier Roche-Tolomelli (aka didrocks) is not a real launcher. It’s a semi-interactive, automated mockup. It simulates things a user could do, and that includes interacting with a (theoretical) on-device AI model to complete tasks.
The Snap Store listing refers to it as a ‘design-discussion prototype of the next Ubuntu launcher’.
An intriguing choice of words – that’s as far as I’d read into it for now, though. A hint of a possible future feature perhaps, but not quite a commitment to shipping or actually building this as a real thing.
A launcher and a prompt box
I installed the prototype and ran through the simulated tasks to get an idea of what (there’s a menu full of them). The launcher itself is triggered by a small Ubuntu logo in the top panel and is only ostensibly interactive.
One simulated task saw the launcher used to find a local image file (using the file filter). The launcher’s AI box is used, and the model is asked to set the image as the desktop wallpaper and adjust the system accent colour to match.
In another, the “Followup with AI…” is used to find a suitable app the user can install to open an ePub. Matches from the Snap Store filter back inside of the launcher, complete with install buttons, which then trigger an installation. Nice.
And another, and to my mind more impressive use-case demo tasks AI with creating an add-able calendar itinerary from a handful of items selected from the clipboard history. Press play on the video embed below to watch that:
It’s intended to function as a regular launcher too, e.g., opening apps, findings files, picking emoji, clipboard history, finding open browser tabs and reviewing recent ‘tasks’.
Throughout the simulation results appear with all kinds of icons and actions to manipulate or manage them inside of the launcher, making this more of an active tool than a passive one.
Much like Apple’s (more capable) Spotlight in recent versions of macOS, in that regard. It’s not hard to imagine how the launcher could be extended further, to handle more than simple find-and-retrieve tasks.
We do know Canonical is keen to ‘ramp up’ AI features in Ubuntu. It released the Myna AI dictation tool in tech preview this month, and its engineers are using LLMs and agentic coding tools for various efforts, infra management, etc.
But the company has also said it won’t be bolting AI on for its own sake. Any integrations it does explore will, even in this ‘simulation’, be predicated around practical use-cases and making use of on-device AI models.
Try the demo (remember it’s a demo)
You can install the warty-prototype launcher demo from the Snap Store. It will run on most supported Ubuntu releases:
sudo snap install warty-prototype --edge

Miguel Ojeda sent out his pull request of the new Rust kernel code slated for introduction in Linux 7.4. It's a big one this round due to updating the Zerocopy vendored library plus updating other Rust crates for the kernel.
The Zerocopy crate update is a big one in jumping eight versions ahead. This is the code providing traits and macros to safely convert between raw byte sequences and structured types. Rust for Linux 7.4 also has other toolchain and infrastructure updates, enabling the unstable proc_macro_span feature for better diagnostics of all procedural macros, and more.
The Rust kernel create adds new "mem" and "ratelimit" modules while improving some of the existing modules. The pin-init crate is adding support for tuple structs as well as allowing for the safe creation of self-references. There is also much improved diagnostics.
More details on these central Rust code changes for Linux 7.4 can be found via this pull request. Via individual subsystem pull requests will also be more Rust code for Linux 7.4, like the NVIDIA Nova driver improvements for Linux 7.4 and the other Rust DRM infrastructure work that brings.

#ViolencesPolicières #ACABMnohé ženy aj muži si na jeseň všimnú, že im na hrebeni a v odtoku sprchy zostáva viac vlasov než v lete. Nie je to náhoda. Sezónne vypadávanie vlasov je bežný jav a väčšinou je dočasné. Nasledujúce riadky majú informatívny charakter a nenahrádzajú návštevu dermatológa.
Vlas rastie v cykloch. Po letných mesiacoch prechádza väčšie množstvo vlasov naraz do pokojovej fázy a o niekoľko týždňov neskôr vypadnú. K tomu sa pridáva slnko, chlórovaná a slaná voda z dovolenky, suchý vzduch z kúrenia a častejšie nosenie čiapok. Svoje robí aj stres po návrate do práce, menej spánku a jedálniček chudobnejší na čerstvú zeleninu.
Vlasy sú tvorené bielkovinou keratínom, preto by v jedálničku nemali chýbať vajcia, strukoviny, ryby, tvaroh či orechy. Dôležité je železo z červeného mäsa, šošovice a špenátu, zinok z tekvicových semienok a biotín z ovsených vločiek. Jeseň ponúka aj šípky, rakytník a jablká bohaté na vitamín C, ktorý pomáha vstrebávať železo. Nezabúdajte na pitný režim, lebo aj mierna dehydratácia sa prejaví na pokožke hlavy. Prísne diéty a rýchle chudnutie naopak vlasom škodia, pretože telo im v čase nedostatku dáva najnižšiu prioritu.
Babské rady sa pri vlasoch tradujú celé generácie. Obľúbený je zábal z ricínového alebo olivového oleja, ktorý sa jemne vmasíruje do pokožky hlavy a nechá pôsobiť pol hodiny pred umytím. Výplach z vychladnutého odvaru žihľavy alebo rozmarínu dodá vlasom lesk. Maska z vajíčka a lyžice medu vyživí suché končeky. Niektorí siahajú aj po cibuľovej šťave, tá však môže dráždiť citlivú pokožku, preto ju vyskúšajte najprv na malom mieste.
Pomáha masáž pokožky hlavy končekmi prstov niekoľko minút denne, ktorá podporí prekrvenie. Vlasy umývajte vlažnou vodou, sušte ich skôr na nižšej teplote a pred zimou ich nechajte zastrihnúť. Pevné gumičky a tesné účesy vlasy namáhajú, rovnako ako česanie mokrých vlasov hustým hrebeňom. Dopriajte si dostatok spánku a skúste zaradiť prechádzky na čerstvom vzduchu, ktoré znižujú stres.
Ak vlasy padajú vo väčších chumáčoch, objavia sa lysé miesta, pokožka svrbí alebo sa šupinatí, prípadne vypadávanie trvá dlhšie ako tri mesiace, je dobré objednať sa k dermatológovi alebo praktickému lekárovi. Príčinou môže byť nedostatok železa, porucha štítnej žľazy či hormonálne zmeny, ktoré odhalí krvný test.

Seemingly as an accident, overnight several new Linux kernel vulnerability reports were posted to the public Linux kernel mailing list rather than the private security mailing list. The vulnerabilities have yet to be patched on mainline but at least in some cases there are patches undergoing testing or queued in "-next" branches. The CVSS scores are as high as 9.0.
Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative sent out a number of vulnerability reports to the public Linux kernel mailing list (LKML) rather than the typical private security mailing list. This seemingly was a mistake with Linux's second-in-command Greg Kroah-Hartman responding to each report asking about their submission to the public mailing list.
Among these newly-disclosed vulnerabilities include:
ZDI-CAN-33549 as a CVSS 9.0 scored vulnerability for SMB Direct remote code execution vulnerability due to integer underflow. For this one there is a patch in a Git branch of code intended for Linux v7.5 but now presumably will be expedited for getting to mainline.
ZDI-CAN-33774 as a KSMBD race condition that can lead to remote code execution. Another CVSS 9.0 rated vulnerability.
ZDI-CAN-33367 is a vulneravbility for skbuff skb_zerocopy in the network code that can lead to local privilege escalation. For this one Linux kernel developers received a security report from another source last week over the same issue and a patch is expected to be posted soon.
ZDI-CAN-34068 as a VMWGFX VMware graphics driver bug with an out-of-bounds write leading to local privilege escalation.
ZDI-CAN-34076 an uninitialized resource in the NVMET code leading to information disclosure.
ZDI-CAN-32005 was also posted to the mailing list a day prior for a search-domain TCP query stack buffer overflow leading to local privilege escalation.
The bug and security reports keep on coming in the AI fueled world.
So, I feel like I'm kind of at a huge disadvantage right now when it comes to being a healthy adult, because my experience with transness and neurodivergence has made it essentially impossible to form normal friendships my entire life.
This isn't to vent or anything, that really is just the reality of the situation, and I'm at terms with that. I don't really know what to do about it though, and I feel like I can't be healthy until I find other trans women who I know just gets it. Thing is, I really don't live somewhere with a ton of trans women around, and I don't know if it is appropriate to just expect ones I meet to be friends with me.
I can't imagine I'm that alone in this dilema -- not that I'm glad about that -- and so ** I'm wondering if anyone has developed any tips that would be of benefit to any of us?**
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
for those who'd like to know what I've tried so far:
Not that I don't try, but so much of my energy is just spent on being out of the house. So far, I'm finding intentional self-grace to be a genuine benefit if I get used to the vulnerability of it (I'm sure you all know this is no small feat). I haven't really gotten so far as making friends this way, but I have gotten farther than probably any other point of my life.
Oh, I also wonder if this will resonate with anyone: is it weird that I am concerned about whether people are attracted to me just because I'm not used to even believing that is a potential thing to be conscious of in an interaction? I feel kind of gross asking myself that, but I seriously don't know if it would even be irresponsible to not be considerate of that kind of power dynamic.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I want to point out too, I am glad to worry about these things. These are problems that I am more than happy to deal with if it means being genuinely me,
Not trans but I know a lot of transfems because I used to run a weekly video game tournament. There have been several trans people in that community over the years and many of them have made a lot of friends there.
I'm also in a friend group centered around riding bikes and there is decent trans representation there as well. It's not as dense as in the tournament scene but they're around.
I guess what I'm saying is, if you have a hobby, find a local meetup for that hobby. If the group is inclusive and respectful, you might meet some people. Also, if you play super smash bros, that's like a cheat code.
A bit of a surprise, really, Wine is making its way to OpenBSD. An experimental port has been submitted, and early testing shows it can already run dozens of 64-bit Windows apps (including quite a few games).
The announcement comes from OpenBSD developer Thomas Frohwein, who made the proposed port public on the OpenBSD mailing list and describes it as possibly the most surprising port proposal of the year.
As Frohwein makes clear, getting Wine to work on OpenBSD has been a team effort with the bulk of the work being done by Andrii and Fabien. The biggest hurdle has been the %gs segment register. Wine needs this, but OpenBSD doesn’t allow applications to set GSBASE directly.
The breakthrough was a software workaround which uses the %gs prefix to generate the instructions, circumventing a major compatibility issue which had previously made getting Wine onto the OS so difficult.
The results are already very impressive. The dev team has successfully tested a good number of 64-bit Windows apps, and most run quite nicely. Even more surprisingly, a recent remaster of The Witcher 3 appears to run quite well (though again you do need to install vkd3d-proton to get the D3D12 via Vulkan to work).
Frohwein also posted links to screenshots and gameplay recordings to show off the progress. He pointed out that the gameplay in the recordings may look a bit less smooth than it actually is, as they were recorded directly from the system using FFmpeg.
Of course, there are still limitations. The biggest one is that WoW64 (Wine’s compatibility layer for running 32-bit Windows apps in a 64-bit environment) doesn’t currently work. The OpenBSD port is therefore limited to 64-bit Windows software.
The built-in Wine test suite is also disabled for now. Some of the tests need access to the X server, and some just hang (though the developers have not seen this in their own real-world testing with a large number of games).
For anyone wanting to play around with the port, Frohwein recommends starting with the 64-bit version of Notepad++ (a fairly light Windows app). He also suggests running Wine under a separate unprivileged user account until additional security restrictions can be implemented.
Importantly, Wine has not yet been officially accepted into the OpenBSD ports collection. The current submission is a work in progress which is being proposed for testing, feedback and review by the OpenBSD developers.
Still, given OpenBSD’s very strict security model and the technical difficulties of the task, getting Wine to run modern Windows apps and indeed some of the more demanding games is a significant accomplishment. If it does eventually make it into the official collection, it would go some way toward extending the range of software available to OpenBSD users.
For more details, see Frohwein’s announcement.

Despite how this may feel, this post really is about Linux.
Lately I've been thinking a lot about trying to daily drive ... something else. OpenBSD. RedoxOS. 9front, Plan9. Heck, MINIX3. Some of it is that I've always wanted to try living on a micro-kernel, as I strongly agree with the design principles; but more recently a lot of it is because of what's going on in both user space and the Linux kernel. I can escape from systemd by running Artix or Void or a dozen other anti-systemd distributions; Wayland is getting harder to avoid and some people no longer have a choice despite Wayland still trailing X in accessibility. But that's still fine for me since my preferred window manager doesn't run on Wayland at all, and there are no efforts to port it. Most alarming is what feels like a slippery slope around AI in the Linux kernel. No amount of distribution dodging is going to avoid that.
So I spend more and more time looking at alternatives and evaluating if I really can daily drive something other than Linux. Today I realized that I've trapped myself, and that trap is because of games.
I'm not a huge gamer, but I like to occasionally play; and recently, Linux has been really really great for games, even beating Windows on its home turf. I played entirely through Borderlands 4 on Linux -- a game which is demanding of hardware, by any measure -- on what's basically a mobile AMD CPU/GPU and it crashed all of twice the entire game. I waste a few hours every month on Factorio. I've got stuff bookmarked in my Steam library that I know run well on Linux; we have resources like the ProtonDB. Lately, this has been my big blocker, and that realization I mentioned was in the form of realizing that I'm using the exact same excuse Windows users used to use to avoid switching to Linux. Because they didn't want to lose access to games.
Something that's informing my hesitation is that I have a Linux phone, too. It's got an arm64 CPU, and is running some mobil-ized fork of Debian, and so much software isn't available for it. So. Much. Either there aren't packages for the OS and they're not in Flathub; or they are in Flathub but they're not adaptive and so are effectively useless on a mobile device; or they're in Flathub but aren't available to arm64; or they're in Flathub but just don't run because 30% of Flatpaks in Flathub are broken and don't run -- at least, they don't run on my phone, because they don't like whatever's providing GL via Wayland. What this experience has done is made me pessemistic about jumping platforms: if I lose access to half the software I use just by switching CPU architectures, how bad will it be if I up and out change kernels? Pretty bad, I'm expecting; I'm not going to be playing any AAA games, that's for sure. Which is why -- even though Linus himself is slop-coding patches into the kernel -- I feel trapped.
It's incredible that Linux has come so far on the desktop that the availability of games is a blocking factor to migrating off of it -- isn't it? C'mon old timers: we've come so very far, baby, and for most of it I never imagined we'd be here. We've already taken over the world, via phones, via servers, via infrastructure, via all that FOSS that corporations are furtively using illegally by not following the LICENSEs of the libraries upon which their platforms are built. We've won, although desktop users only dimly, if at all, comprehend it; we give ourselves handicaps to ensure we remain the outsider underdog, by using increasingly more constrained sub-markets as our penetration measure.
Maybe it's inevitable: popularity increases capability which begets stickiness. I like being able to just fire up Factorio, not having to dual boot, or faff around with virtual machines or with maintaining two ecosystems. Heck, I don't even have to run Steam -- there's a Factorio: Space Age package in AUR. I just launch it from the command line. I'm going to lose all that by going to RedoxOS. Sure, I'll gain the confidence that the kernel isn't being written by an RNG, but what am I willing to give up? Games?
In a way, Linux has achieved Windows-ness. It's sticky. People have to stay, unless they're willing to accept the austerity measures of a younger (or at least far less popular) OS. The excuses Windows users made, now Linux users are making. I want to move to a better OS... bUt WhAt AbOuT mUh GaMeS?!?!

I think the date is just using Go's standard format; I didn't change it. But you're right, of course: it should be RFC3339 or ISO8601.
Honestly, I'll accept any suggestions. I'm not a web developer and my CSS-knowledge is really sketchy. I cribbed the basic Tufte format from a Hugo template and probably mangled the CSS in all sorts of ways in the process of getting it to look like I wanted. I wouldn't look at the HTML, though; I know the static site generator code has bugs, and the templates probably do too.

Today, the openSUSE project released version 25 of its Agama web-based installer for Tumbleweed, Slowroll, and MicroOS distributions with a web-based terminal, an option to exit the installer, and enhanced port selection.
While openSUSE continues to work on adopting Agama as the default installer for Tumbleweed, they updated the web-based installer with a web-based terminal so you can access the shell without leaving the browser, as well as an option to exit the installation at any time before the installation starts if you change your mind.
“It is important to note that the option is only available before the installation starts: cancelling while Agama is already applying changes to the system could leave it in an unpredictable and potentially unbootable state, so the exit option disappears as soon as the installation is underway,” said the openSUSE project.
Agama 25 also enhances bond port selection by using a searchable multi-select field list that you can filter as you type, while still allowing users to write a name by hand for a device that is not present in the system yet. It also brings AutoYaST-related code into Agama’s own codebase.
Last but not least, this release polishes the OpenAPI specification and JSON schemas with stable URLs. According to the devs, having them published this way is useful well beyond Agama itself, allowing other tools to generate clients, validate requests, or simply let people browse the API without digging through the source code.
For more details, check out the release notes. To use the Agama 25 installer for installing openSUSE Tumbleweed, MicroOS, or Slowroll, you must download the Agama live ISO image, create a bootable medium on a flash drive, and boot from it. Meanwhile, the standard live ISOs for Tumbleweed and Slowroll still use the old YaST installer.
LF Research is the Linux Foundation's research arm. It was set up in 2021 and publishes studies on how open source is built and used, drawing on surveys and project data.
Its latest report, Navigating Open Source Software Development in the Generative AI Era, surveyed 234 contributors and maintainers on how generative AI is affecting the way open source gets made.
The survey estimates that about 25% of incoming pull requests are low-quality AI slop, with the estimate climbing to 31% on larger projects.
Red Hat sponsored the report, with additional contributions from OpenSSF, LF AI & Data, and Futurewei.
The findings
Large projects, the ones with more than 50 contributors, are affected the most.
Among their maintainers, 69% report more incoming contributions, against 59% across all maintainers, and 64% say reviews now take longer. Burnout is their top concern at 63%, narrowly ahead of contribution quality at 60%.
You will also find that policies have not caught up to the AI-assisted coding and vulnerability reporting trend.
Of the 119 respondents who answered the question, 35% said their project has a formal policy permitting AI use. Another 32% have none and no plans for one, 23% plan to write one, and 10% ban AI contributions outright.
You might remember that some projects, like LLVM, allow AI-generated code with conditions. Separately, 26% of projects have no way of verifying AI-assisted contributions at all.
The report calls on contributors to give effort to written policies, disclosure of AI use, and testing and documentation.
Interestingly, AI does seem to save developers' time. Respondents estimate that code authoring takes 52% less time on average, while on more complex tasks, 21% said the work took longer with AI.
Most maintainers (71%) say AI makes it easier for newcomers to start contributing. Just over half (53%) say it has not improved community trust, while only 13% say it has.
Some caveats do apply.
Respondents were recruited through Linux Foundation newsletters and social channels, plus partner channels that include Red Hat. As for the 25% slop figure, it is an estimate from 111 respondents, not a measured count.
That sounds fair, but disclosure is mostly left to individual choice right now, and a quarter of projects have no way to check anything. It only works if the people sending slop make an effort to do it.
And as we have already seen time and again, the ones sending slop rarely bother.
The Linux Foundation Research survey also found that only 35% of projects have a formal policy permitting AI contributions.Sourav Rudra (It's FOSS)
Given that these pr's will only get better and better, this already sounds like a huge win for all oss users. Maintainers might need a special maintainer agent that filters and guides new agent contributors, but after that we'll see all oss projects boom with features, quality and constant development, or maintenance as long as anyone uses it. New types of projects - huge, or very complex ones - will start to appear also. It have already started.
At some point even the most negative user will have to stop using the 'slop' pejorative for ai driven pr's, as they'll just be better than hooman pr's. One commenter already noted that Hoomans create 'slop' too. AI will only do that temporarily, maybe longer than I think, but definitely temporarily.
you’ll see that “slop” in the survey does not refer to AI-driven PRs in general, but to specifically low-quality AI-generated PRs.
This part is actually unclear. The question posed to survey participants that allowed researchers to determine a PR was "AI slop" is left out of the report. And this line under the chart showing "25% slop etc." is troubling:
Average estimated percentage of incoming PRs that are low-quality and/or AI-generated
How this particular question was framed is of critical importance here and without it, it's easy to assume that all reported AI use was broadly categorized as "slop"
Sadly I could not find a way to access the full list of questions used in the survey to confirm this.
page 9’s wording does state that it is maintainer-estimated, and specifies the terms “low-quality” and “slop” as the qualifier for the 25% figure
I'm not seeing it. This is the sole relevant statement on pg 9 where they simply define AI slop in a general way that avoids tying it in with their measurements:
“AI slop” are low quality AI-generated contributions that are unlikely to be worth the review time they demand.
In addition to the explicit 'and/or general AI use' statement, there are several red flags here that make me think this is a low quality study to be taken with salt. Or maybe I'm cynical and using the term 'slop' to push a research study is both unusual and suspect.
I think people are sensible enough these days to not deny that AIs sometimes produce acceptable code.
New to the forum?
There are plenty of people who call all ai generated code "slop".
And also, according to Alex
Slop has existed before AI
What are we even talking about anymore? Has language always evolved this fast?
It looks like it was more of a survey and afaict, participants weren't given an opportunity to distinguish between "AI slop" and high quality AI assisted contributions (so were all AI contributions reported as "slop"?!)
To answer your other questions, this is the relevant part:
Across the board, genAI reduces estimated task time across all six measured activities in the pooled sample, with the largest gains in code authoring (−52%) and code review & feedback (−44%), and smaller but still meaningful reductions in technical discussion (−20%) and discussion on proposals (−19%)Productivity gains are most often reinvested in addressing technical debt [66%], adding new features [63%], and learning/upskilling [58%] ... genAI productivity is invested right back into OSS projects. In other words, genAI is not shrinking the overall OSS workload so much as reallocating it toward highervalue and longer-deferred work, from debt paydown to skill-building.
It's not all clear weather and blue skies though. My interpretation of the findings is that there definitely are challenges to address, but also that those that take the effort to address and integrate AI usage see the most in terms of net positives.
You can download the full report here.
I maintain several small open source projects. I sometimes use AI for my own PRs, especially ones that are almost mechanical but not quite. A great use for AI is "fix the new listing issues from this litter update."
I've been getting a moderate amount of AI slop PRs recently, though it has also coincided with a similar increase in PRs that are probably written by (or an least partially written by) AI but are actually useful. The ones I'd call "AI slop" tend to be huge, change a lot of tests, and may or may not even achieve their goal. A recent AI-written PR I got from an external first-time contributor fixed a bug by refactoring some code into a function, ending up with 4 calls to that function, of which 3 of the previous implementations had been correct and one had missed a step back in 2021. Net code added? 1 line, and only because it added a test.
The main problem is how much time I end up spending on these slop PRs. It can take a while to even describe why you're rejecting the change, though ironically AI has made this easier too.
Bukowski hat so Recht
„Viele Katzen zu haben ist gut. Wenn du dich schlecht fühlst, schaust du die Katzen an und fühlst dich besser, weil sie wissen, dass alles einfach so ist, wie es ist. Man muss sich um nichts nervös machen.
Und das wissen sie. Sie sind Retter. Je mehr Katzen du hast, desto länger wirst du leben. Wenn du hundert Katzen hast, wirst du zehnmal länger leben als mit zehn Katzen.
Eines Tages wird dies bekannt sein, und die Menschen werden Tausende von Katzen haben.“

Jeff is a lisp hacker who fucking loves reanimating ancient programs from their original source ! He led the team of that Eliza book that was big news a while ago.
Great episode.
Let's talk about freaky disappearances, places you can get disappeared in, and other strange things that go bump in the woods at night!
Security personnel around the world are on high alert Tuesday following the discovery of eight TLS certificates with private keys so weak they could allow anyone to mint trusted browser and app credentials for any site on the Internet.
As of late morning Tuesday, browser makers and some major apps and programming languages had blocked all eight of the intermediate certificates. There are no reports of certificate transparency logs, which track the issuance of all browser-trusted certificates, showing the compromised keys being used maliciously. The threat remains far from over, however, because it will be hard and time-consuming to update other key parts of the Internet, such as Linux distributions and embedded and Internet of Things devices.
One word: bonkers
The eight intermediate certificates belong to India-based certificate authority eMudhra Limited. An informal advisory published to emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com over on Tuesday posted the message “We have a problem here – Wayne.” The words were digitally signed using the private key of one of the eMudhra certificates. With proof that the reporting party had control of the key, defenders scrambled because the same key could be used to sign unauthorized certificates that would be trusted by millions of servers worldwide.
“This will be a massive cleanup job, bigger than Heartbleed,” Filippo Valsorda, a cryptography engineer and a cryptography maintainer for the open source Go programming language, told Ars. “There will be a very, very long tail, IoT devices, Docker containers, forgotten Linux machines, unmaintained CLI tools that shipped their own copy of the roots (which is common in some ecosystems, like Python). Also, Linux distributions are still rolling out updates, some of them are not ready yet, and then system administrators will need to apply them to a lot of machines.”
Heartbleed is the name of a critical vulnerability in the OpenSSL cryptography library. In 2014, it came under mass exploitation. Exploits let many unaffiliated hackers decrypt TLS-protected exchanges between parties. They also recovered private TLS certificate keys, session cookies, and passwords. The attacks compromised thousands of servers, some belonging to large companies and government agencies around the world.
Recovery required a long series of steps that took years. Steps included patching OpenSSL on all affected devices, reissuing millions of TLS keys, revoking old certificates, rotating passwords and session tokens and updating embedded devices and other forgotten systems—something that was extremely time- and resource-intensive, especially at Internet scale.
“Every time you need a lot of different people in different contexts to do something, it will take a long time,” Valsorda explained. “This time it’s worse because there’s more contexts, more people, and more heterogeneity.”
The compromised eMudhra keys were defective at a level that’s challenging the imagination of many of the engineers studying the incident. A normal size for a NIST P-384 elliptic curve cryptography private key contains roughly 384 bits of entropy, a size allowing almost 2384, or a number with 116 digits, different possibilities. The private key sizes of the compromised keys ranged from 3 to 8 bits. Astonishingly, the private keys were 4, 56, 66, 115, 155, 156, 230, 237.
“That is extremely in the ‘this should not be possible’ category,” Valdorda said. “Maybe some horribly dangerous key generation interface has a ‘size’ parameter and they set it to 1 by mistake???”
Ben Cartwright-Cox, director of BGP.tools, said: “My guess is that it’s example code that accidentally leaked to production, but hard to know. But it’s bonkers that no one noticed.”
At this early stage, the most immediate threat appears to be for those using VPNs, especially in countries with governments likely to maliciously intercept traffic. There are likely many other cases for concern. End users largely have no recourse other than to hold off using many non-browser forms of TLS communication until they receive assurances updates are in place.
As noted, most browsers have already blocked the intermediate certificates. The exception appears to be Edge, which at the time this article went live was still connecting to 12 vulnerable hosts. In response to questions asking why and if the company has plans to do so, a Microsoft representative the company will be in touch if it has anything to “share.” Meanwhile, Signal, WhatsApp, Wireguard, and other apps that don’t rely on TLS for confidentiality aren’t affected. This page and the emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com site show apps known to be patched so far.
The incident is the latest to expose a fatal flaw in the TLS regimen. It’s only as strong as its weakest link, which in this case was eMudhra. Fortunately, transparency logs account for much of that failure, but this measure requires parties to actively monitor massive feeds and works only after unauthorized certificates have been issued. eMudhra representatives weren’t immediately available to answer questions.
One caveat: exploiting compromised certificates requires an active adversary-in-the-middle attack, meaning the attacker must act as a proxy between two TLS parties and receive encrypted traffic, decrypt it, reencrypt it, and send it to the other party. Such capabilities, in some cases, are usually limited to only the most well-resourced attackers. People with control of a local network—at a coffee shop, university, or other organization—face much less of a challenge.
Intermediate certs allow anyone to mint web credentials for any Internet server.Dan Goodin (Ars Technica)
The team behind the Debian-based SparkyLinux distribution has introduced a new project called SparkyOS, with its first release, version 2026.10, now available. Unlike the familiar SparkyLinux, the new system is based on Arch Linux and is designed to run entirely from a USB drive.
The idea is that, instead of installing Linux on internal storage, users can carry a fully functional operating system on a USB drive and boot it on any compatible machine. More importantly, SparkyOS isn’t a traditional live environment where changes disappear after rebooting.
Instead, it works like a regular Linux installation, allowing users to install applications, update packages and the kernel, and save files and settings directly to the USB drive. Everything remains available the next time the system starts, even on a different computer.
Under the hood, the first SparkyOS release uses an Arch Linux rolling-release base, paired with the lightweight Xfce desktop environment and Linux kernel 7.2.11. It also includes access to the AUR, with Yay provided for managing additional packages.
Getting started doesn’t require partitioning a hard drive or a conventional installation process. SparkyOS is distributed as a preconfigured IMG image that users write directly to a USB drive. Once prepared, the drive can boot the operating system on compatible hardware.
The distribution targets 64-bit computers with UEFI firmware and requires a USB drive with at least 16 GB of storage. A faster USB drive provides a better experience, especially when installing applications or performing system updates.
One interesting detail is that SparkyOS isn’t necessarily tied to Arch Linux. The developers describe it as a portable operating system that can be built using different Linux distributions as its foundation. Arch is simply the base chosen for this initial release, leaving room for other variants in the future.
For those interested in trying it, the default username and password are both sparky, while administrative operations are handled through sudo.
For more details, see the announcement.
SparkyOS 2026.10 is available now from the project’s official website, where users can also find the download image and instructions for preparing a bootable USB drive.

Listopad je v mnoha zemích měsícem, kdy si muži nechávají růst knír a mluví o zdraví, o kterém se jinak mlčí. Za zdánlivě recesistickou akcí stojí vážná čísla. Muži chodí k lékaři méně často než ženy, potíže déle odkládají a některé nemoci se u nich zjistí až v pokročilém stadiu. Přitom velkou část rizik lze včas odhalit jednoduchým vyšetřením, které hradí zdravotní pojišťovna. Zkuste letošní listopad využít jako připomínku, že péče o sebe není slabost.
Dospělí v Česku mají nárok na preventivní prohlídku u praktického lékaře jednou za dva roky. Lékař změří krevní tlak, zeptá se na rodinnou anamnézu, zkontroluje hmotnost a obvod pasu a podle věku doplní odběr krve na cholesterol a cukr. Podle věku se přidává také screening rakoviny tlustého střeva, který začíná jednoduchým testem na skryté krvácení ve stolici. Celé vyšetření zabere zhruba půl hodiny a dá vám přehled, kterému se žádná aplikace v telefonu nevyrovná.
Vysoký krevní tlak dlouho nebolí, a proto o něm řada mužů neví. Stejně nenápadně se vyvíjí cukrovka druhého typu nebo zvýšený cholesterol. Po čtyřicítce stojí za to probrat s lékařem i prostatu, zejména pokud se v rodině vyskytlo onemocnění prostaty nebo pokud se objeví častější noční močení. U mladších mužů je důležité pravidelné samovyšetření varlat, které trvá dvě minuty ve sprše a může zachránit život. Nezapomínejte ani na zuby a oči, preventivní prohlídku u zubaře hradí pojišťovna dospělým jednou ročně.
Před odběrem krve buďte nalačno, tedy ráno nesnídejte a pijte jen vodu nebo neslazený čaj. Sepište si léky a doplňky, které užíváte, a otázky, na které se chcete zeptat. Zjistěte si, jaké nemoci měli rodiče a sourozenci, protože rodinná zátěž mění doporučení lékaře. Pokud vás něco trápí delší dobu, řekněte to hned na začátku. Lékař má na prohlídku vyhrazený čas a ocení, když víte, co chcete probrat.
Listopadová kampaň připomíná i duševní zdraví. Muži častěji skrývají únavu, stres a smutek za prací, sportem nebo alkoholem. Krátké dny a málo světla na podzim pocit vyčerpání ještě zesilují. Pomáhá mluvit s někým blízkým, udržet pravidelný spánek a pohyb venku a nestydět se vyhledat odbornou pomoc, když potíže trvají několik týdnů. Rozhovor s praktickým lékařem je dobrý první krok.
Prevence nekončí u lékaře. Každodenní chůze, méně soli a uzenin, více zeleniny a luštěnin, omezení alkoholu a zanechání kouření sníží riziko srdečních onemocnění výrazněji než jakýkoli doplněk stravy. Kdo potřebuje inspiraci, jak jíst pestřeji, hýbat se pravidelně a dbát na imunitu i v zimních měsících, může si projít články o zdravém životním stylu zde, kde najde tipy na sezónní potraviny, vitamíny, spánek i zvládání stresu v běžném pracovním týdnu.
Zavolejte svému praktickému lékaři ještě tento týden a domluvte si termín. Zapište si ho do kalendáře spolu s datem příští prohlídky u zubaře. Pokud máte tátu, bratra nebo kamaráda, který k lékaři nechodí roky, vezměte ho s sebou nebo mu aspoň pošlete zprávu. Někdy stačí jedna věta, aby se člověk konečně objednal.
Listopad je ideální čas udělat pro své zdraví něco konkrétního. Preventivní prohlídka, samovyšetření a pár zdravějších návyků nestojí mnoho času, ale mohou znamenat roky života navíc.

Well, well, well...
The Linux Foundation published a new study today around the impact of generative AI on open-source software development. One key takeaway is that ~25% of new open-source software pull requests amount to AI slop.The new Linux Foundation research study found that GenAI has the potential of cutting open-source coding time in half for increased productivity. They also found 59% of project maintainers found growing GenAI-based contributions. The 50% productivity boost was found to be across all types of open-source software development tasks. 71% of OSS maintainers agreed that GenAI reduces barriers to entry.
Very concerning though, their research found that 25% of incoming pull requests are estimated to be low-quality AI slop across open-source projects. Presumably that number will, sadly, continue to rise as more newcomers and users embrace AI/LLMs for working on patches on their behalf.
Those curious can find the Linux Foundation Research report in full via LinuxFoundation.org.
Can I say: Karma?
It's been a while now that the Linux "Foundation" has been big tech lapdog and corrupted, Torvald first. For me the eviction of Russian maintainer for their nationality was the last straw (of course it was initially done in full opacity) and now the AI chill is cherry on top. Under a fake cover of "community-based" FOSS this is consortium and the enshitification is just the logical consequence.
Hey everyone!
I'm Soumalya, a developer interested in Linux and systems programming. I've been working on Wallr, a wallpaper engine for Wayland written in Rust, and wanted to share it here to get feedback from other people in the open-source community.
I started building it partly to learn more about Rust, GPU rendering, and how Wayland works under the hood. It's grown quite a bit since then.
Wallr supports static images, GIFs, and video wallpapers. It also has 11 transition effects, per-monitor wallpaper settings, directory watching, and optional integrations with Matugen, Wallust, and Pywal.
Under the hood, it uses wgpu for rendering, with a background daemon that communicates with the CLI over a Unix socket. Video playback uses FFmpeg, with hardware decoding where supported. I've also included a benchmark script to compare Wallr with awww, although I'd like to test it across more hardware and compositors before drawing broad conclusions about performance.
It currently targets Hyprland, Sway, niri, and compatible KDE Plasma 6 setups. GNOME/Mutter isn't supported at the moment.
For transparency, I used AI assistance during development to make my workflow easier. I'm continuing to work on the project, test it, and improve the implementation.
Source code and installation instructions:
github.com/programmersd21/wall…
I'd appreciate feedback on the code, architecture, compatibility, or anything that could be improved. If you use another Wayland wallpaper tool, I'd also be interested in hearing what you like about it and what you think could be done differently.
Thanks for reading!

I'd forgotten about Myrlyn. I guess I never switched over to it from the older YaST software updater, which does not have the equivalent of 'zypper dup'. But from what I read now, Myrlyn does, so that is good.
Discover does not, however. Not only does it not do the equivalent of 'zypper dup' it does not resolve package conflicts that can arise with external repos.
For anyone reading whose not familiar, on Tumbleweed, 'zypper dup' (or the Myrlyn equivalent) is what you need to run periodically to update to the latest snapshot (and being a rolling distro, new snapshots come out anywhere from every day to every few days, depending how the automated testing goes).
En este post se explica como activar el arranque de red PXE en nuestra Raspberry Pi. Hay dos formas de hacerlo dependiendo si es una Pi 3 o una Pi 4, si tienes la Pi 4 ejecutamos rpi-eeprom-config para ver el orden de arranque actual. Para cambiarlo ejecuta:
sudo -E rpi-eeprom-config --editBOOT_ORDER y cámbiala por uno de los siguientes valores:Nota: En la Pi 5, el valor para el arranque por red mediante NVMe o PCIe puede alterar los dígitos. Si solo quieres red y SD, el valor estándar sigue siendo 0xf214.
Ahora guarda el archivo (Ctrl+O, Enter) y sal del editor (Ctrl+X).
Hay que avisar que la Raspberry Pi 3 no tiene una memoria EEPROM modificable por software como los modelos modernos. Utiliza un registro interno permanente (OTP). Una vez activado, no se puede revertir, pero no te preocupes: seguirá arrancando desde la tarjeta SD si encuentra una insertada.
Inserta una tarjeta SD con Raspberry Pi OS en tu Pi 3 y añade una línea al final del archivo /boot/firmware/config.txt (o /boot/config.txt según la versión):
sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt
program_usb_boot_mode=1Guarda el archivo y reinicia la Pi 3. Una vez encienda de nuevo, ejecuta el siguiente comando para verificar si el bit se ha grabado correctamente:
vcgencmd otp_dump | grep 17:17:3020000a, el modo de red y USB ya está permanentemente habilitado en el hardware.Ya puedes apagar la Pi, retirar la tarjeta SD y proceder al arranque PXE.

Most product photos fail for a boring reason: the background. A cluttered kitchen counter, a shadow from the phone, a mismatched white. Over the last few weeks I rebuilt the photo set for a small online shop with Yeri AI, a browser-based image and video studio, and I want to write down the routine that actually worked, because the first attempts did not.
I stopped trying to get a perfect photo out of the phone. Instead I shoot every item on a plain sheet, from the same height, with the light coming from one side. The goal is a clean subject that a cut-out tool can read easily. Glass, hair and fluffy textiles are the hard cases, so for those I take one extra frame with a darker background.
Yeri AI has a background remover that handles most solid objects in one pass. I zoom to 200% and check three places: thin parts (handles, straps), transparent parts (bottles) and the bottom edge where the shadow used to be. If an edge is wrong I re-run on the darker frame rather than fixing it by hand.
For lifestyle shots I upload the cut-out as a reference and describe only the scene: "on a light oak table, morning window light from the left, a linen napkin, shallow depth of field". Short, concrete prompts keep the product unchanged. Long prompts full of style words tend to redraw the product itself, which is exactly what a shop cannot accept.
I usually draft with a fast model and only re-render the two best results on a higher-quality model such as Seedream. Writing down the prompt and the model next to each file saved me a lot of guessing later.
Marketplace thumbnails are square, banners are wide, stories are tall. Rather than cropping the subject, I use the image expander (outpainting) to add space around it. One base image becomes three formats without the product touching the border.
Upscaling is the final step for stills. For the three hero products I also made short clips with image-to-video: a slow push-in, a little steam over a cup, fabric moving slightly. Small motions look natural; big camera moves warp the object, so I avoid them.
None of this needs design software. The whole set, about forty products, took two evenings. The tool is at yeri.ai if you want to try the same routine; it has a free tier, which was enough for my first tests.

Most people who try an AI image generator for the first time type four or five words, look at the result, and decide the tool is either magic or useless. The truth sits in between. The model is doing exactly what it was told; it was simply told very little. After a few weeks of using Raphael AI for blog headers, client mood boards and the occasional birthday card, I settled on a small framework that turns vague ideas into prompts that land on the first or second try. This post walks through that framework, why each part matters, and how to iterate without burning an afternoon.
Raphael AI is a browser-based text-to-image generator at raphael.app. The basic mode is free, it does not ask you to sign up before your first image, and it routes prompts to several modern image models behind the scenes. That low barrier is what makes a structured habit worthwhile: when each attempt costs nothing but a few seconds, the quality of your thinking becomes the bottleneck, not your budget.
I think of every prompt as five slots. You do not have to fill all of them, but every slot you leave empty is a decision you hand to the model.
A weak prompt fills one slot: "a cat in a library". A strong prompt fills all five: "an elderly orange tabby cat asleep on an open atlas, inside a narrow wood-paneled library at dusk, soft painterly illustration in the style of a children's picture book, warm lamp light with deep teal shadows, eye-level medium shot with shallow depth of field". The second version is longer, but it is not complicated. Each clause answers one question the model would otherwise guess.
Nouns alone produce stock-photo poses. Adding a verb and one specific detail gives the image a moment. "A chef" becomes "a chef tasting sauce from a wooden spoon, eyebrows raised". "A mountain" becomes "a mountain ridge with a single lit hut near the summit". The detail does not need to be clever; it needs to be concrete enough that the model can render it.
When I need more than one subject, I describe them in the order I want the eye to travel. Models tend to give the first-mentioned element the most visual weight, so lead with the hero of the picture.
Settings get much better when you add a time cue. "A street market" is generic. "A street market in the early morning, stalls half set up, wet pavement" tells the model about crowd density, light direction and texture all at once. Seasons work the same way: autumn brings color, winter brings breath and fog, midsummer brings hard shadows.
"Beautiful" and "stunning" do almost nothing. A medium does a lot. Compare "a stunning portrait" with "a portrait in gouache on textured paper" or "a portrait shot on 35mm film with visible grain". The medium implies brushwork, edges, saturation and imperfection, which is where the character of an image lives.
Raphael AI handles a wide range here, from photoreal product shots to anime frames and oil-paint looks, so it is worth experimenting. I keep a short list of mediums that suit my projects: risograph print for newsletter art, soft 3D clay render for app onboarding screens, ink and wash for book-themed posts.
If an image feels flat, the fix is almost always lighting. Try one of these and watch the same scene change personality:
Pair the light with a two- or three-color palette. "Muted sage and cream" or "cobalt and tangerine" gives the model a constraint that keeps the image coherent instead of rainbow-busy.
Distance and angle are easy wins. "Close-up", "medium shot", "wide establishing shot", "top-down flat lay", "low angle looking up" all change composition dramatically. Lens language helps even for illustrations: "wide-angle" exaggerates perspective, "telephoto" compresses it, "macro" pulls in tiny textures.
Choose the aspect ratio before you generate, not after. Raphael AI lets you pick the ratio in the interface, and a 16:9 header composed from the start looks far better than a square image cropped into a banner.
Here is the loop I use:
Changing one slot at a time sounds slow, but it is how you learn what the model responds to. Changing everything at once gives you a new image without teaching you anything.
Goal: a header for a post about remote work burnout.
Round one: "a tired person at a laptop". Result: generic, gloomy stock image.
Round two: "a young designer resting her chin on a stack of sketchbooks beside a glowing laptop, small apartment desk by a rainy window, flat editorial illustration with subtle paper texture, cool blue light from the screen and warm light from a desk lamp, medium shot, 16:9". Result: much closer, but the mood is too sad for an article that ends on a hopeful note.
Round three: I changed only the light slot to "early morning sunlight breaking through the rain clouds, warm highlights on the sketchbooks". The image now tells a small story: rough night, better morning. That is a header that supports the article instead of just decorating it.
The value of a free, no-login tool is not only the price. It is that you can practice. A writer who generates twenty thoughtful prompts a week will, within a month, be able to describe exactly the image a post needs. That skill transfers to any model and any tool, but practicing on Raphael AI costs nothing, so the learning curve is the only investment.
If you try the five-slot method, start with a picture you already have in your head. Write each slot as a separate line in a notes app, then join them into a sentence. You will be surprised how often the first result is already usable, and how much faster the second and third rounds become once you know which slot to adjust.

There is yet-another-Linux-file-system attempt... An initial request for comments (RFC) patch series was sent out this morning for BeamFS. The proposed BeamFS is a Reed-Solomon protected file-system.
BeamFS was born out of the stalled FTRFS proposal earlier this year as a fault-tolerant file-system. FTRFS was short for the Fault-Tolerant Radiation-Robust Filesystem.
BeamFS is described in today's RFC patch series as:
"beamfs is a block-device filesystem that corrects corrupted bytes in place, on a single device, with no second copy to repair from. Every data block is a capsule of sixteen interleaved RS(255,239) codewords, built on lib/reed_solomon; every read decodes it, and a read the decoder cannot vouch for fails with -EIO instead of returning wrong bytes. Directory blocks, inodes, the allocation bitmap and the superblock carry Reed-Solomon parity as well, and indirect blocks have a parity region of their own. In the default layout 288 bytes of every 4096 (7%) are overhead.
beamfs descends from FTRFS, posted here as an RFC in April. The limits of FTRFS were in its design (threat model, where correction sits, scale, kernel integration), so beamfs is a new filesystem with its own on-disk format, and this is a new thread."Earlier this year due to FTRFS and other new file-system proposals, Linux kernel developers did enact new guidance on allowing new file-systems into the Linux kernel, so we'll see ultimately what comes of BeamFS for a Linux file-system for radiation-prone environments.
Stemming from a bug report one month ago with GNOME 51 over high GPU usage while the monitor is sleeping, a set of 17 patches were merged today for addressing this issue.
The bug report noted clients still rendering while the monitor is sleeping and thus high GPU usage.The issue was tracked down to un-throttled repainting of the CRTC back-end stage views even when in power savings mode
The now merged code addresses this issue by handling forward progress without repainting while in the power savings state. Jonas Ådahl of Red Hat who authored the fix explained of the changes:
- It actively decides to not draw when power saving by having the renderer inhibit painting if power saving and a stage view targets a CRTC. This solves the originally reported bug; vkgears, glxgears, es2gears all report ~60 fps while power saving, without having the frame clock having to deal with knowing about power saving.
- It handles migrating presentation feedback of frames that gets discarded. This means vkgears properly receives .discarded events while power saving.In a comment over at !selfhosted@lemmy.world someone wrote:
Containers are not a security barrier. They cannot be, they never will be.
I'm no expert but my mental model of containers was different in that I thought containerized processes live in somehow separate environments, at least filesystem- and network-wise.
I run self-hosted services in containers on my server to isolate them from each other, and now and then binaries I don't fully trust (things like suspected slop code or not well known python libraries) in containers on my laptop.
Does someone with more technical knowledge about how containers work feel like explaining whether that is a bad idea and if so why? That would be highly appreciated.
Edit: missing words and punctuation.
Edit 2: I would like to thank everyone who took the time to reply. My key take aways are that I will move my self-hosted services into VMs for proper isolation, but that it's probably fine to use a container when I want to make sure an LLM doesn't accidentally rm -rf my laptop system when it gets stuck.
Thanks for your reply. A practical follow up: do you mount storage from the host or do you use virtual drives?
I use ZFS on my host and and file recovery is just so convenient when the services can write directly to it. I'm reluctant to give that up but assume a mount reduces isolation.
None of my VM require sharing of data, so each gets their own. I don't currently use ZFS in Proxmox, but do have snapshots and periodic backups to my NAS, so recovery is generally not an issue.
Conceptually, mounting a host storage inside a VM requires the use of either virtiofsd or NFS daemon running on the host (depending whether you mount it as local or network storage), so if either of the two or the underlying filesystem has a vulnerability, it does in theory create an attack surface, which is not ideal. With that said, as I mentioned above, I have not research led this enough, since I haven't had the need yet, so don't quote me on that. At the end of the day, it's all about where you personally draw the line, so if you are fine with that risk and absolutely can't give up the feature than go for it, it's your system.
Most researchers assume that once a paper is published it stays reliable. In practice, thousands of articles are corrected, flagged with expressions of concern or fully retracted every year, and many of them keep collecting citations long after the notice appears. Citing a retracted study is rarely a scandal on its own, but it is an avoidable error that reviewers increasingly notice, and in clinical or policy work it can quietly distort a conclusion. This guide describes a lightweight routine for keeping a reference list clean from the first draft to the final proof, and for recording what you checked so that co-authors and editors can see the work.
There are a few familiar reasons. Retraction notices are often published months or years after the original paper, so a study that looked sound when you first read it may have changed status since. Many people work from PDFs saved on their own drives, and a local file never updates itself. Reference managers import metadata once and seldom refresh it. And citation chains propagate errors: if a well-known review cites a flawed study, readers of that review cite it too, without ever opening the original.
None of this is a matter of carelessness. It is a matter of workflow. A reference list is usually assembled over many months, and nobody re-reads every source just before submission. The fix is to make status checks a scheduled, recorded step rather than something you hope to remember.
There are several kinds of post-publication notices, and they mean different things:
Keeping these categories separate matters because the right response differs. A correction might mean updating one sentence; a retraction might mean removing a whole paragraph.
The single most useful habit is to maintain a small table alongside your reference manager. Each row is a source you actually rely on, and the columns record the claim you took from it, the page or figure where that claim appears, the date you last checked its status, and the result of that check. This sounds like extra work, but it pays for itself the first time a co-author asks where a number came from.
A research workbench such as Yila makes this easier because every statement it drafts is tied back to the passage it came from, so the claim and its location are captured at the moment you write rather than reconstructed later. Whatever tool you use, the principle is the same: a claim without a recorded location is a claim you cannot re-check quickly.
Rather than checking continuously, check at three moments:
Each check should take seconds per source if your table includes DOIs. Journal landing pages display retraction and correction notices prominently, and databases that track retractions can be searched by DOI. Record the date and the outcome in the table, even when nothing has changed. A column full of dated "no notice" entries is evidence of diligence that you can show an editor.
When you find that a source has been retracted, resist the urge to simply delete the citation. Ask what role the source played:
For expressions of concern, a short parenthetical note is often enough. For corrections, compare the corrected values with what you quoted and update the numbers.
A subtler problem is citing a sound paper that itself depends on a retracted one. You do not need to audit every reference of every reference, but for the handful of sources that carry your most important claims, it is worth opening their own reference lists and checking the key supporting studies. If a central figure in a review you rely on came from a retracted paper, the review's conclusion may be weaker than it looks.
This is where tools that let you ask questions of a document and see the exact supporting passage are useful. Instead of rereading a forty-page review, you can ask which studies support a particular statement and then check the status of those specific studies. An evidence-traceable assistant like the one at yila.ai is designed around this kind of question: the answer arrives with its sources attached, so the next step, checking those sources, is obvious.
In a lab or a writing group, the routine works best when it is shared. Agree that the source table lives in a shared folder, that anyone adding a citation fills in the claim and location columns, and that the pre-circulation check is assigned to one person per draft. Rotating the job spreads the skill. Keep a short log of any notices found and what was changed in response; over a year this becomes a useful record for annual reports and for training new students.
Before you submit, ask yourself:
Retractions are a normal part of a self-correcting research system, and the presence of one in your reading list says nothing bad about you. What matters is noticing in time and responding proportionately. A small table, three scheduled checks and a habit of recording claims with their locations will catch the vast majority of problems. If you want help keeping claims tied to their sources from the start, a research assistant that cites every statement, such as Yila's evidence-linked research workspace, can take much of the bookkeeping off your hands while leaving the judgement where it belongs: with you.

"Le pouvoir macroniste, contrairement à ce qu’il suggère aujourd’hui pour mieux justifier la répression exceptionnellement féroce du mouvement lycéen, sait parfaitement s’accommoder de véritables violences – et qu’il lui arrive même de les encourager en se prévalant très sérieusement de sa sensibilité aux revendications de ceux qui les commettent.
Au mois de janvier 2024, par exemple, quand des agriculteurs en colère avaient détruit ou tenté d’incendier plusieurs bâtiments publics, le ministre de l’Intérieur de l’époque, Gérald Darmanin - le même qui avait lancé l’armée contre des militants écologistes un an plus tôt à Sainte-Soline – avait considéré qu’il s’agissait d’un « coup de sang légitime », et avait gravement expliqué, je cite encore : « En tant que ministre de l'Intérieur et à la demande du président de la République et du Premier ministre, je les laisse faire. Les agriculteurs travaillent et quand ils ont des revendications, il faut les entendre. Et la réponse aux souffrances des agriculteurs, ce n'est pas les forces de l'ordre."

PRAGUE — At Open Source Summit Europe, Dr. Laura Dornheim, Munich’s chief digital officer, said in her keynote speech that Munich abandoned its LiMux Linux desktop deployment for Windows over a decade ago because of politics, but now it’s returning to open-source software.
It’s not returning to the Linux desktop, however — not yet, anyway. Instead, it’s switching its infrastructure programs from proprietary software to open-source software. For example, it’s replacing VMware with Proxmox, moving from Jira and Confluence to OpenProject and XWiki, and adopting PostgreSQL as an alternative to Oracle databases.
The two infrastructure and collaboration migrations alone are expected to save roughly €1.5 million or more annually.
Taken together, these projects illustrate the difference between Munich’s first Linux campaign and its current approach. Rather than making desktop Linux its center pole, the city is replacing individual layers of proprietary infrastructure where it can make a practical case.
So, this comeback is not a wholesale resurrection of LiMux, the Debian/Kubuntu Linux desktop project that made Munich the Linux desktop standard-bearer between 2003 and 2013. Besides, Dornheim added, dealing with the elephant in the room, “So [if LiMux] was a success, why is it not alive anymore? Not because of technical issues.” So, what changed?
Dornheim explained it was all politics. “Open source in the public sector doesn’t fail because of technical issues. It mostly fails because it’s not aligned with the political agenda.” She continued that Munich had switched away from Linux because a new government got Microsoft to agree to make Munich the headquarters for Microsoft Germany.
The lesson from LiMux is that technical capability isn’t enough, she continued. Open-source projects also need durable political support.
From Linux pioneer back to Windows
Munich’s original move began as Windows NT 4.0 neared the end of support. Yes, that was over 20 years ago. In May 2003, its council voted to migrate to a tailor-made Linux distribution, LiMux.
The rollout began in earnest in 2006. By December 2013, Munich had completed the migration with more than 14,800 desktops running LiMux. A European Commission Open Source Observatory case study reported savings of about €11 million because the city dumped Windows.
LiMux became the leading example that a large city could operate Linux desktops and open-source office software. It also exposed the difficulty of changing a sprawling government IT environment, particularly when Microsoft Office documents, legacy workflows, PDF use, and user expectations remained tied to proprietary systems.
The political climate changed after Munich’s 2014 municipal election. By November 2017, the council had voted to reverse course and return its computers to Windows, with a target of 2020. The office-suite transition took longer. Indeed, the migration from LibreOffice to Microsoft Office wasn’t completed until 2023.
So, despite what you may have heard, this was not a case of “Linux failed.” It didn’t. It was politics, pure and simple.
Where Munich goes from here
Today, Germany’s third-largest city is targeting proprietary platforms where open-source alternatives can deliver financial savings, greater control, and software that other municipalities can reuse. Digital sovereignty matters, but that’s not the primary driver in Munich.
That said, Dornheim noted that a cloud transition to Azure without sufficient assurance from Microsoft of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance would require the city to scrutinize who could use each tool. This management overheard didn’t help make a case for staying with Microsoft. It’s also a clear example of how digital sovereignty has become both an important technical and political issue.
Dornheim added that her answer to getting politicians to support open-source software in the long run is to connect open source with priorities they understand. These include budgets, public services, and the ability to make software available across the administration.
She added that Munich’s current IT strategy is to ensure open-source software functions well without losing the political support needed to sustain it. It certainly helps that, thanks to the shift to open-source software, “We are saving roughly a million euros a year. So that’s again a great win, not just for us, for our belief in public and public code, but also for the politicians in Munich.
The open-source return started with infrastructure
The new Munich IT plan also embraced the “public money, public code” principle: software developed with public funding should, where appropriate, be available for others to inspect, use, and improve. The commitment applied to newly acquired or developed software even as the earlier Windows migration continued.
Dornheim, who became Munich’s CDO in September 2022, has not treated that policy as a mandate for a third administration-wide operating-system upheaval. Supporting institutions have also changed. Munich established an Open Source Program Office in 2024. This added a dedicated structure for coordinating its open-source work. Its public software portal presents the city’s approach in three categories: Use existing open-source software, improve it, and publish software that the city develops itself.
That’s a broader commitment than just replacing Windows with a Linux distro. Munich is now an open-source software development participant, not simply a customer choosing between licenses.
Software that other cities can use
There are several examples of Munich sharing its software. One such is DAVe, Munich’s application for documenting and analyzing traffic data. In use since 2021, the software has also been adopted by Wolfsburg, Germany.
Dornheim said such collaboration should become routine rather than depend on another city discovering a suitable project. “I think these matches shouldn’t just happen sort of by accident, but there needs to be a structure across the whole public sector. It’s on my wish list.”
Munich’s work also includes MUCGPT, a municipal AI application that enables employees to access large language model (LLM) capabilities. This helps with writing and proofreading emails.
The city is also investing in the open-source ecosystem. Its Open Source Sabbatical program supports developers working on open-source projects. The broader purpose is to support improvements and funding components used in open-source municipal services.
Put it all together, and Munich’s open-source approach is no longer simply about the Linux desktop. Instead, it’s all about Munich reducing its dependence on proprietary software, controlling costs, and turning publicly funded software into a reusable public asset. So far, the city’s doing well.
Open source in the public sector doesn’t fail because of technical issues. It fails because it’s not aligned with the political agendaSteven Vaughan-Nichols (ZDNET)
I listened to this talk in Prague. They put her on after the Microsoft keynote, and she was throwing some jabs at Microsoft which was very funny.
She also outlined how they spent 6 years moving from Windows to Limux, just for the conservative politicians (CSU/CDU) to decide for them to move back to Windows, which took another 6 years. Politicians are a strange breed.
Can recommend the talk
"She continued that Munich had switched away from Linux because a new government got Microsoft to agree to make Munich the headquarters for Microsoft Germany."

CachyOS has taken the Linux world by storm lately. It’s currently one of the most popular Linux distros, and for good reason — it’s fast, polished, and, most importantly, reliable. I’ve used it myself, and I can see why so many people, especially Linux gamers, are fans of it. That said, if I were building a Linux gaming system, I’d choose Bazzite over CachyOS, and it boils down to one key reason.
CachyOS is a solid gaming distro
Giving credit where it’s due
CachyOS is an Arch-made-easy distro, giving you all the benefits of Arch without the technical hassle. You get a proper graphical installer to streamline the setup process, while the CachyOS Hello app offers one-click access to routine maintenance tasks like updating mirrors, installing gaming packages, adjusting system settings, and more.
That said, the real reason behind CachyOS’s astronomical rise to fame is its performance. The distro ships with its own custom Linux kernel, aptly named the CachyOS kernel, which is optimized for modern x86-64 processors. The official repositories also contain packages compiled for these architectures to take advantage of the CPU-specific optimizations.
All these optimizations help CachyOS squeeze more performance out of your hardware, making it a great choice for gamers. With the same hardware, you may see higher frame rates, better 1 percent lows, and more responsive gameplay compared with other Linux distros. Granted, the gains aren't anything extraordinary — CachyOS won't magically make a game that was otherwise unplayable run smoothly on your hardware — but the extra performance is certainly nice to have.
But it’s still an Arch-based distro
Performance matters, but so does reliability
CachyOS is based on Arch Linux, and there's a reason Arch isn't generally recommended for Linux newcomers. You see, Arch is a rolling-release distro, which means package updates become available as soon as they're released. This is usually good news for gamers because they get quick access to the latest features and performance improvements. However, it also introduces additional maintenance overhead.
You're expected to update your system regularly, ideally weekly or at least every couple of weeks. If you put off updates for too long, you might run into problems when you finally update, including keyring errors, outdated mirror lists, and other technical conflicts.
There's also the fact that constantly dealing with cutting-edge software can affect system stability. While most updates go smoothly, a buggy update can occasionally break something when you least expect it. It might be a driver, your desktop environment, or even a package dependency that causes your games to stop launching. When that happens, it's on you to figure out what went wrong and fix it.
Granted, CachyOS does provide a safety net for buggy updates and system breakages. It uses the Btrfs file system alongside Snapper to take snapshots before every system update. This way, if an update introduces bugs or breaks your system, you can roll back to a previous working snapshot. It's certainly a useful feature, and one that makes many rolling-release distros more viable for daily use.
Reliability by recovery vs. reliability by design
It's worth pointing out that snapshots are a recovery tool, not a way to prevent breakage in the first place. You still have to deal with a broken system and know how to boot into the appropriate snapshot. There's also a limit to what snapshots cover. By default, Snapper only takes snapshots of the preconfigured subvolumes, which typically include the root file system — not the home directory where your games live.
Now, yes, you can technically configure snapshots for your home directory, but doing so requires a lot of care and attention. Depending on your setup, rolling back personal files could also revert game saves, settings, and other documents alongside the changes you're trying to undo, which is a disaster in its own right.
For someone who's comfortable with Linux, all of this is manageable. However, for someone who has just switched from Windows to Linux to play games, it's a lot of unnecessary technical hassle.
Bazzite is far more reliable and beginner-friendly
It’s a distro designed to be fool-proof
Bazzite is another popular distro for Linux gaming. However, unlike CachyOS, it uses Fedora's Atomic Desktops as its base, offering a balance of stability and up-to-date software. These desktops use an image-based approach to system updates. Instead of updating individual system packages, Bazzite downloads an updated system image, prepares it as a separate deployment, and activates it after a reboot.
This sort of atomic update ensures that system updates are applied as a whole. If something goes wrong during an update, you can boot back into the previous deployment. This reduces the risk of partial updates and dependency conflicts, significantly lowering the chances of system breakage caused by failed updates.
What's more, Bazzite is an immutable distro, which means its core system is read-only. You can't freely modify the base system files as you would on a traditional Linux distro. This prevents applications and packages from casually modifying the underlying system, making Bazzite more resilient to accidental changes and the resulting breakages that can occur on other distros like CachyOS.
Bazzite's immutable nature also means you can't install apps and packages as freely as you can on other distros, since doing so involves modifying the core system. However, this generally isn't a problem for gaming since Steam and Lutris come preinstalled, and you can install your games through these launchers.
Furthermore, you can install system-level RPM packages using rpm-ostree, although this approach is generally discouraged. Instead, you're expected to use Flatpak for traditional desktop apps, Homebrew for command line apps, and Distrobox for software that needs a traditional package manager.
Overall, for someone who just wants to install Linux and play games without worrying too much about maintaining their OS, Bazzite is the more beginner-friendly choice.
Bazzite gives you the console experience
The way I see it, Bazzite offers more of a plug-and-play console gaming experience, which is perfect for casual gamers who aren't interested in worrying about the technicalities of Linux. In fact, you can install Bazzite's HTPC variant, which boots straight into Steam Gaming Mode, giving you a console-like experience based on Steam's Big Picture Mode. From there, you can simply install your Steam games and play them without ever having to worry about the Linux distro underneath.
In comparison, CachyOS is closer to traditional PC gaming. It gives you plenty of options but expects you to be tech-savvy enough to make the most of them and patient enough to troubleshoot problems if and when things go wrong. It certainly gives you more control over the OS, and if you enjoy that, CachyOS is going to be the better distro for you.
However, I just want a system that works. I have limited free time, and I'd rather spend it playing games than optimizing a system for gaming.
Just because something is popular, doesn’t mean it’s the best option for you.Dibakar Ghosh (How-To Geek)

Yes, you read that correctly. Microsoft is bringing its Defender security software to Linux desktops. The company has announced that Microsoft Defender for Endpoint now officially supports Linux desktop environments, with the feature currently available in public preview.
And before anyone starts wondering whether Microsoft has suddenly decided that every Linux user needs antivirus software, there’s an important distinction. This isn’t the consumer version of Defender familiar to Windows users. Instead, it’s Microsoft’s enterprise security platform for organizations running Linux workstations.
According to Microsoft, the expansion is driven by the growing use of Linux desktops among developers. These machines often access source code repositories, cloud infrastructure, credentials, and other sensitive resources, making them attractive targets for attackers.
The idea is to give enterprise security teams the same visibility and protection across Linux desktops that they already have for Windows, macOS, and Linux servers.
As for the capabilities, Defender for Endpoint provides real-time antivirus protection, endpoint detection and response, threat investigation, vulnerability management, and centralized security monitoring through the Microsoft Defender portal.
Security administrators can use these tools to investigate suspicious activity, identify compromised machines, and respond to threats without managing Linux workstations through a separate security platform.
Interestingly, Microsoft isn’t introducing a completely new Linux security agent for this purpose. According to its documentation, the desktop version uses the same deployment packages, installation methods, and security capabilities already available for Linux servers.
The supported distributions are also the same. The list includes Ubuntu LTS, Debian, Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, openSUSE Leap, SUSE Linux Enterprise, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, and several others.
Desktop environment choice doesn’t matter. Whether a workstation runs GNOME, KDE Plasma, or another graphical environment, compatibility depends on the underlying distribution and kernel rather than the desktop itself.
There’s also an interesting detail regarding device identification. Defender attempts to determine whether a Linux installation is a server or workstation using operating system metadata and other system characteristics. When it cannot reliably identify a machine as a workstation, it classifies it as a server by default.
Of course, Defender’s presence on Linux isn’t entirely new. Microsoft introduced its antivirus solution for Linux servers back in 2020, subsequently expanding its enterprise threat detection and response capabilities. What’s changing now is the official inclusion of desktop workstations.
Finally, it’s also worth emphasizing that this remains a public preview, not a generally available release. Organizations interested in deploying it will need an appropriate Microsoft Defender for Endpoint subscription and must meet the existing Linux system requirements.
For more details, see Microsoft’s official announcement.

And I want Microslop to eat shit and shit glass.
but we can't all get what we want, so i guess they'll just have to suck it up and cope.
Do you feel safe with all the entRUSTing they're putting on non GNU software?
The title says that because, until now, the core utilities in Ubuntu were not fully Rust. cp, mv, and rm had stayed on the GNU versions over compatibility issues. They have since moved to the Rust-based uutils implementation, taking the distro even further in its oxidation process.Ubuntu 26.10, codenamed "Stonking Stingray", is an interim release, which means it brings newer software than the earlier LTS while only getting nine months of support, ending in July 2027.
Although our features roundup covered a lot of ground, there were some changes that it missed.
Ubuntu 26.10: What's New?
Well, we start with the kernel powering this interim release, Linux 7.3, which offers support for recent Snapdragon X2 Elite laptops along with several older Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus machines from Lenovo, HP, and Acer.
Gamers will be glad to know that the first chunk of Valve engineer Natalie Vock’s VRAM overcommit work has also landed in this kernel. Games on graphics cards with too little video memory should run better, as some of the data can now be offloaded to regular system RAM.
You already know that this Linux release is shaping up to be one of the most performance-focused releases in years.
Ubuntu is also moving to the NVIDIA 615 driver series, which replaces 595 and 610 and ships open kernel modules only, supporting Turing and newer GPUs.
The rustification we talked about earlier also extends to OpenPGP, where Sequoia PGP, a Rust-based implementation built by former GnuPG developers, has landed in the main archive. Its sq and sqv tools now sit alongside GnuPG's gpg and gpgv.
For the desktop environment, Ubuntu 26.10 has GNOME 51, with its range of upgrades such as a fingerprint manager in the Users panel, DNS search domains in the Network settings, and a count badge in Files when you drag multiple items.
There's also the Ubuntu Tiling Assistant that shows a Windows-11-like interface for the built-in snappable window layouts.
If you were hoping for a redesigned installer and first-boot onboarding flow, those are planned to come for the next long-term support release, Ubuntu 28.04 LTS.
Other Changes & Improvements
These are some of the other notable changes in this release:
OpenSSL 4 brings Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) and better QUIC support.
TPM-backed full-disk encryption now works without a hardware root of trust if a PIN or passphrase is set.
The RISC-V platform gets official RVA23 support for the SpacemiT K3 boards and SiFive's BigSky platform.
Twelve new wallpapers that were picked across the Mascot, Photography, and Digital/Abstract categories.
The toolchain upgrades consist of GCC 15.2.0, LLVM 22.1.8, Python 3.14.7, Rust 1.97.1, Go 1.27, and OpenJDK 25.0.4.Download Ubuntu 26.10ISOs for this interim release are available for AMD64, ARM64, RISC-V, and others from the official website; go for the "Desktop" ISOs if you are a regular user. Specific flavors like Server, Netboot, and WSL can be fetched from the releases portal.
It ships with Linux 7.3, GNOME 51, an improved App Center, and many other upgrades.Sourav Rudra (It's FOSS)

And still no response here: lore.kernel.org/lkml/e12330b9-…
I wonder when somebody's going to fork the Linux Kernel based on a pre slop version. Seems almost inevitable to eventually happen at this point.
We welcome everyone to watch the session recordings from the Nextcloud Community Conference 2026! While this session is technically a workshop, we decided to include it in the playlist together with recorded lightning talks, so our community can learn from Henry's insights.
About this session:
Speaker: Henry Fisher
Session title: Solo doesn’t win: A workshop on getting your friends & family off Big Tech
Description provided by the author:
You’ve done the hard work. You locked down your accounts, migrated to a nearly fully open-source stack, and swore off every major big tech company. But your mom still backs up her (and your!) photos to Google, and your best friend still texts you over plain SMS without a second thought.
How can we sustainably recruit people in our lives to stronger, open source tools? How can we make privacy & digital sovereignty a social aspect that extends beyond the self?
Henry Fisher from Techlore has spent over a decade figuring out what actually gets people, including the non-technical people you love, to begin to change their habits. He’s hosting this collaborative workshop where everyone is welcome to bring their tips & experiences, so we can all walk away more empowered to bring our loved ones along.
⚠️ Note: this is a live recording of a session from an in-person event. Audio and video quality may differ from our studio content.

in reply to 1Malayali • • •I looked around for a good long while and did not find anything online for andriod at all... However that doesn't mean there isn't any out there, i might have just missed it, or maybe there's an app that can do it but doesn't really advertise.
There are free closed source and ad supported stuff gallore, Giphy, for example. You may need to go outside FOSS to find what you need.
Or, there are Open and Free PC tools.
Sorry, good luck.

The scaling seems to make the the gif quality a bit too low.
Is there a way to get it from 200 to maybe 300 or 400?
