Love to do this so brought it to GNOME

i just love to wiggle mouse in my free time when i am on my Manjaro kde VM. It just feels so good but them my GNOME based fedora 44 didnt have it because jiggle and wiggle are outdated...and weell wiggly...it just doent work with the similar physics of KDE with incremental size increase.

So , to give myself a break from my work I VibeCoded this.

Yes i openly am stating that this is a VIBECODED project and welll i made it for myself and am sharing it here. It was a break from my sullen work and also from testing and debuuging my main project which i have to do manually , ScreenGuard , which well some people here must know atleast by now after my vigourous campaign about what this is...but nevertheless getting into this topic, I can atleast assusre u one thing, I will continue updating it atleast once every month if i find any bugs or any issues are opened in the repo.

So please feel free to use it, or even contribute. I will be adding the contibuting.md after a few hours, its been a looong day.

Thank you all for co-operating and Please donot tag it as AI slop because yes i myself am stating its vibecoded a lot eventhough i ask people not to do it...So if you really want the kde-ish wiggle, u can try it out, if you dont feel good about the vibecode then dont , completely upto you .

I feel like Firefox should give uses a toggle whether they want the rounded aesthetic! Personally, I like it a lot, and it just so happened when I switched from boxy KDE Plasma to Niri + Noctalia (which has more rounded UI as configured with default settings), Firefox updated to the new rounded aesthetic at the same time! What are the odds? A lot of people love their boxier UI bits though, so it kind of sucks that disabling the new UI requires going into about:config

for me pills and jetbrainsmono and borders around everything just screams to me "this was designed by Claude."

I don't like the look. I think it looks amateurish. doesn't look clean. looks slapped together at the last minute by an LLM. Also the corners of my monitor are not round, they're square. if I was back on a early 00 area Apple Cinema Display it would make sense. hell if I was using any screen from the early 00's it would make sense. to me pills on everything does not make sense.

In terms of bad OSS project names, I feel like one of the worst is RawTherapee's fork, called Another RawTherapee, or "ART". No search engine can find it, because search ignores capitalization and it just thinks you're searching for art (as a common English noun). So when you look up "how to do x in ART" it thinks you're searching for regular art tutorials, and when you look up "how to do x in Another RawTherapee", it answers with the non-fork version of Rawtherapee because indexing rules make that come up first, but the UI in the non-fork version is totally different because that's the entire point of the fork, so the tutorial does not apply. In any case, this naming scheme is bound to give you a good headache when you need to look up anything.

Well now. Oil refineries tend to be made out of thick steel pipework and vessels, to contain unpleasant chemicals at high temperatures, and they're designed with blast panels and pressure release systems as they're somewhat likely to go boom without external assistance. But the whole site isn't like that

The control room tends to be just a plain old brick building somewhat removed from the main site - you don't want to incinerate your ops team if there's a fire.

The Motor Control Centres (MCCs) tend to get warm due to all the switchgear that they contain, which means they're kept aside, generally in quite thin-walled structures.

Hit either of those, the plant is going to be down for a long time.

If you're looking to render the refinery unusable, you either need enough boom to wreck inch-thick steel to the extent you can't just weld it up again, or enough precision to hit something irreplaceable.

or enough precision to hit something irreplaceable.


Haven't they been doing that? I can't remember where I heard it. But I heard they were mostly targeting storage tanks until they talked to a petrochemical engineer. They told Ukraine that there's some critical bit that Russia can't manufacture and they've been targeting those as much as possible since.

Pourquoi le voile obsède tant les Français ?

Soutenez Blast, nouveau média indépendant : blast-info.fr/soutenir

C'est probablement un des sujets qui obsède le plus les médias mainstream français : le voile. Les femmes qui portent le voile, la signification du port du voile, les raisons cachées du port du voile... Tous ces débats polluent notre espace médiatique depuis maintenant plus de 40 ans. Dans cet épisode nous allons essayer de comprendre les raisons de cette obsession, les raisons historiques qui ont poussé le débat public français à se concentrer sur la question du voile. Nous allons aussi nous intéresser aux violences et discriminations auxquelles sont exposées les femmes qui font le choix de le porter.

So maybe people don’t want to hear this but as a hunter I have to say this area is likely to become a wildlife disaster.

If humans are a regular predator and the predator is removed the fight for food resources among the prey species is going to result in a lot of animal deaths and suffering. This will cause ecological devastation to the area, waste meat that humans would have used, and potentially cause other shifts in wildlife that are harder to predict.

The government, in addition to taxing this land heavily, should procure an easement for hunters to maintain ecological stability.

If this guy is planning to tear everything down and install data centers out there we should build a rocket and yeet him into the sun.

how do I download videos from redlib on debian 13.7? yt-dlp doesn't work

yt-dlp version 2026.08.19

redlib is an interface you may use if you want to read content from reddit but without ads, bloat, tracking and java. You cannot post but you can read.

I found some videos I'd like to download but I don't know how.

To download videos from elsewhere I run yt-dlp and that works fine, but pasting the redlib url where the video is posted returns "Unable to download webpage: HTTP Error 429: Too Many Requests"

solutions appreciated

Someone else said you should try the most recent version. They’re right. You just copy the file into some place like ~/.local/bin/, set it executable with chmod +x and add its location to your $PATH. You will need to apt remove yt-dlp from your system to get rid of the old apt version. From that point forward using the -U flag when you invoke yt-dlp will first check for and install an update if needed before doing the thing you asked for.

Someone else said Reddit is closing off their api. This is so.

You’re getting 429 so try changing your vpn endpoint and see if that helps you out.

OpenMandriva ROME 26.09 Released With Linux Kernel 7.2, Plasma 6.7

OpenMandriva has published refreshed installation images for ROME, its rolling-release edition, combining the distro’s current software stack in the new 26.09 snapshot.

OpenMandriva ROME 26.09 ships with Linux kernel 7.2 by default, while kernel 7.3-rc4 is also available for users who want to test the upcoming series. The distro also provides kernels in both Clang-compiled and GCC-compiled variants.

On the desktop side, KDE Plasma has been updated to 6.7.5, accompanied by KDE Gear 26.08.1 and KDE Frameworks 6.29. GNOME users get version 50.3, while LXQt moves to 2.4. Xfce remains on the 4.20 series, and MATE 1.28 now includes an experimental Wayland session.

The repositories also contain newer releases of Hyprland, COSMIC Desktop, Niri, Sway, i3, IceWM, Qtile, and several other window managers and desktop environments.

Under the hood, a significant change is the move to RPM 6.1. OpenMandriva has extended it with an optional %pgo section for spec files to simplify Profile-Guided Optimization when building packages. Several packages already use this feature alongside broader Link-Time Optimization.

The development toolchain has also moved forward. LLVM/Clang 23.1.2 is now the default compiler, GCC has been updated to 16.2, and the distribution ships glibc 2.44.

Graphics support comes with Mesa 26.2.3 and ROCm 10.0, including patches aimed at extending ROCm support to older Radeon GPUs. For NVIDIA hardware, the open NVIDIA kernel module has been moved directly into the kernel, avoiding situations where it becomes out of sync after kernel updates. The proprietary driver has meanwhile been updated to version 610.57.

Interestingly, another notable addition is Snap support. OpenMandriva already supports Flatpak with Flathub enabled and AppImage, but users can now install snapd from the repositories. The project stresses that native RPM packages remain its preferred format due to tighter system integration and reduced duplication.

The Plasma and LXQt editions have a new default browser. Helium 0.17.2 replaces ungoogled-chromium and is based on that project, restoring selected Chromium functionality without reintroducing Google services. OpenMandriva has adapted Chromium Embedded Framework to use Helium, allowing OBS Studio to use a CEF plugin based on the browser.

For gaming, ROME 26.09 includes Wine 11.18 with WoW64 support, Proton 11, DXVK 3.0.2, vkd3d 2.0, and vkd3d-proton. The Steam installer available through the non-free repository has also been updated to version 1.0.0.86.

Moreover, the release brings Qt 6.11.2, GTK 4.22.5, PipeWire 1.6.9, FFmpeg 9.0, GStreamer 1.28.6, Firefox 156, Thunderbird 155, LibreOffice 26.8, GIMP 3.2.4, Blender 5.2.2, and Krita 6.0.4, which has now moved to Qt 6.

OpenMandriva has also expanded the selection of local AI software available from its repositories, including Ollama, llama.cpp, Whisper.cpp, Stable Diffusion.cpp, ComfyUI, KoboldCpp, Aider, and several other tools. Many use the system-wide GGML library with GPU acceleration through ROCm, Vulkan, or OpenCL.

For additional details, see the announcement.

The refreshed ROME 26.09 images are available in Plasma X11, Plasma Wayland, and GNOME Wayland editions, with community-maintained LXQt, MATE, and Xfce spins also offered. Plasma and LXQt images are available for regular x86_64 systems as well as optimized znver builds for AMD Ryzen processors. An AArch64 server image is available too.

One exception is COSMIC Desktop: a ROME 26.09 COSMIC installation image was held back because of an issue with the login manager. Existing COSMIC users can continue updating normally, while new users can install it from the repositories.

OpenMandriva ROME 26.09 Released With Linux Kernel 7.2, Plasma 6.7

OpenMandriva ROME 26.09 refreshes the rolling distro with Linux kernel 7.2, KDE Plasma 6.7, RPM 6.1, GCC 16, and updated installation images.

Ubuntu 26.10 ships with a Rust-based OpenPGP - OMG! Ubuntu

Surprisingly, it's LGPL v2.

The Sequoia PGP is part of the default seed, with the sq package in the main repo and officially supported. It’s said to provide a “modern, and memory-safe OpenPGP implementation”.

Ubuntu isn’t making Sequoia the distribution’s default OpenPGP toolchain. It ships preinstalled, but lives alongside the standard implementation.

However, the goal is to make Sequoia PGP Ubuntu’s default in the near future, with sq and sqv replacing gpg and gpgv.

For now, gpg will still invoke GnuPG, while sq (or an app configured to use Sequoia’s libraries) calls on Sequoia. Users can run e.g., sq sign or sq verify instead of gpg from the command line to try it too.

Canonical says adopting Sequoia will enable Ubuntu to maintain OpenPGP interoperability while benefiting from a “more maintainable and memory-safe foundation”.

It’s not the only Rust-related change in the new Ubuntu release, either. Ubuntu 26.10 ships a full set of Rust-based core utilities out-of-the-box, completing work that began in 25.10. GNU-versions of cp, mv, and rm are now provided by uutils.

Canonical’s engineers plan to ‘oxidise’ more foundational packages in future releases. A Rust rewrite of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) being eyed for inclusion as the default time sync client in Ubuntu 27.04.

The company is also a gold sponsor of the Trifecta Tech Foundation, paying €40,000 a year to help fund work on Rust software.

Ubuntu 26.10 ships with a Rust-based OpenPGP - OMG! Ubuntu

Ubuntu 26.10 adds a new Rust-based OpenPGP implementation called Sequoia (sq) alongside GnuPG tool, which it plans to 'phase out'.

Does It Matter If It’s a Sunrise or Sunset?


Though I try to be careful to tag photos as specifically a sunrise or sunset, when it comes to loveliness, I’m not sure that it matters which one it is. Certainly, in upstate New York there are very frequent marvels when the sun is first rising above the horizon and when it is sinking out of sight.

I had so much fun with this when I played it for the first time that I decided to make a video and put it out here.

Clippiti: Cross-platforms livestream player with clipping and recording.

[Shameless self-promotion no.2]

I wrote this PyQt6 desktop app that plays livestreams via Streamlink and lets you clip them.

It opens a stream, keeps a rolling local buffer, and lets you grab a clip of something that already happened — not just from the moment you hit record. No browser, no login, no telemetry, no "engagement."

  • Plays live streams through Streamlink + mpv (libmpv), not an embedded Chromium
  • Rolling HLS buffer, so you can clip past moments off the timeline
  • Clip export, snapshots, and recording with optional auto-remux to MP4
  • Floating controls, keyboard shortcuts, on-screen feedback

Python 3.12+, needs mpv/libmpv and ffmpeg from your package manager (Streamlink tags along as a Python lib). Runs on Linux (and Windows/macOS if you must). Source is on GitHub, pip install clippiti-player and you're done.

Not a startup, not a product, no roadmap deck. Just a small tool that does one thing. Patches and complaints welcome.

AI disclaimer


AI is a tool. I use it to generate unit tests, or to rename/refactor something, or other trivial/menial tasks. I've been writing code for 30+ years so I think I know when and for what to use it.

Lurkiti: System tray app that monitors livestreams

[Shameless self-promotion]

Months ago I made this PyQt6 tray app that watches livestreams via Streamlink.

It sits in your system tray, polls the streams you care about, and when one comes online you click it and it opens in your player of choice. That's it. No browser, no login, no telemetry, no "engagement."

  • Works with Twitch, YouTube, and anything else Streamlink handles
  • Opens streams in mpv / VLC / whatever you already use
  • Per-stream overrides for quality, player, and Streamlink args
  • Tray icons show status; tracks last-online / last-watched
  • Launch straight from a URL in your clipboard

Python 3.12+, runs on Linux (and Windows/macOS if you must). MIT licensed, source is on GitHub, pip install lurkiti and you're done.

Not a startup, not a product, no roadmap deck. Just a small tool that does one thing. Patches and complaints welcome.

Does anybody else want the Linux community to remain small while still making progress

::: spoiler spoiler
I am personally against gatekeeping anything Including linux , but young naive me from 6 years ago felt this way, and I wanted to see if opinions had changed from back then

:::

I asked this same question 6 years ago on Reddit
just wanted to see if general opinion has changed now as Linux has arguably gotten way more mainstream

Edit: Progress meant 3rd party hardware and software support, innovation etc.
I decided to rerun this question because of the new discourse surrounding LLM use in the kernel; the pretext being a smaller community would have easily taken a binary decision regarding the matter, for better or worse

Bit-for-Bit DVD/Blu-Ray Backup
I want to create a bit-by-bit backup of my DVD and a Blu-ray disc without removing its encryption. Is dd be the best method, and if so, what flags or settings should I use? Also, is comparing the SHA-256 hash of the generated ISO file with the hash of the original disc’s raw data (read from /dev/sr0) the best method for verifying the backup’s integrity?
