My reflections on what it takes for a board of a FOSS project to be effective.

They probably apply equally to other, non-FOSS, volunteer boards too.

Overjoyed to announce that my AT-SPI bridge for Asahi Linux was just merged with muvm, bringing out of the box accessibility to applications like Steam and various other games that use 4K page sizes on apple hardware! This was my second Rust project and was written completely without an LLM, and I found it to be a great way to learn more about the inner workings of Linux. If you have a spare M1 or M2 Mac, I highly recommend giving it a go [when a new release is packaged up]! #linux #a11y #accessibility #rust #asahi

Seems like #Linux⁠'s legendarily huge variety of desktop environments collapses pretty fast if your screen setup is anything other than plain old single-screen 96dpi.

I guess because, for the vast majority of Linux's existence, we were all using plain old single-screen 96dpi or *maybe* two 96dpi screens. The mixed 1.5×/1× configuration I'm using became common only recently, and the old stuff isn't made for this.

@stefano Just looking at the installation instructions it's clear #Mastodon was designed for #Linux.

I want to say I am surprised but unfortunately I am not.

It is always a good idea to explore what is out there. The sysadmin/dev crowd certainly does and you experiment with another OS that is not your “daily driver”, from time to time. For the #Linux user this often means distro hopping. For a #BSD user, this might mean to look at Linux from time to time (again): Void and Alpine Linux are probably distros that are much liked. Back in the day, I started with #SUSE Linux 8, that’s why I am drawn to sometimes take a look what the #openSUSE project has to offer nowadays. So, I was trying out #MicroOS and I have to be honest here — I like it, not systemd of course, but generally, it is really neat. Like I mean it is good to be a bit OS-agnostic.

On #Linux, watching a readable directory reports every event on a file inside it, even one the attacker cannot read directly - this is a bug that's still present on Linux today, although it's partially mitigated now. The most severe case of this was with `/dev/input`, where every keypress generates notifications on /dev/input even across users (even across SSH users). While the key itself isn't leaked, the timing between it has been studied for over two decades.

does anyone use the Orion browser produced by Kagi?

its a novel idea, to buy a browser that's "...100% funded by its users; no ads and no third party deals ever. Get Orion Plus and own your browser".

its US$ 50 a year or $150 for a lifetime licence (the word "licence" sits a little uneasily with "own your browser"...)

they do a paid-for search engine too, i heard people on the Linux After Dark or Late Night Linux podcasts talking about that but i haven't tried it.

So we now have, aside from the #FreeBSD system on a portable drive, our PC's main drive split in two: there's Void #Linux on one partition, #Slackware current on another, sharing a 1T home partition. (Separate swap partitions though...I tried a shared one. Bad idea)

I guess I hadn't looked at photos since migrating to Alpine Linux lately.

Does anyone have HEIC (i.e. Apple) formatted images working correctly under Alpine?

I've installed libheif, kimageformats and anything remotely libheif related in the repo but Gwenview still doesn't display HEIC images. Neither does Shotwell.

I installed Ristretto to compare and it also doesn't display HEIC images.

GIMP works as does Darktable.

Dolphin displays the thumbnails properly but the preview pane doesn't work.

Ideas? Kinda pulling my hair out and out of options.

I am intrigued by #NetBSD and I think I'll try dual booting when I have some free time. My big question is, how do you fill gaps when there isn't an application available in pkgsrc? Say for instance I wanted to run Vivaldi, am I SOL until they decide to port over, if ever? Or, do you run a virtualized application instead and if so, is that performant?

I see that #FreeBSD has the larger following but I don't like their fence sitting on LLM contributions and don't want to get into only for them to make a decision I disagree with.

I spent all this time migrating to #Arch only for Linus to give me the ick. Which, of course really sucks because I tend to like Arch. But, I think history repeats itself in a way here and it's time to start looking elsewhere and seeing if the jump is realistic.

@overeducatedredneck @chadmccullough @admin @netbsd It's pretty easy setting up a #NetBSD Xen dom0 with just two packages needing adding (plus the auto-installed dependencies).

｢ Not because Scientific Linux was technically superior to CentOS, or because maintaining another Linux distribution was free. And not because CERN or Fermilab could somehow have controlled what Red Hat or IBM later chose to do.

I've been fussing around with Labwc a bit. The out of the box Labwc config on Alpine is very minimal. Labwc uses Openbox themes, but before I go down that rabbit hole I want to explore CoW.

Following the build instructions "bouncing ball" on both the river and CoW Codeberg pages resulted in success with CoW selectable and launch-able in sddm with zero dramas.

Clicking on the empty desktop and getting the minimalist CoW (fvwm!) menu to appear for the first time was a bit of a comfy old shoe moment. Ha.

Thanks River and @thomasadam !

Now the fun, hard, and time consuming part: making CoW look the way I want it to look and selecting tools to flesh out the rest of the desktop.

I did go looking for some of my old fvwm configs in my code repo but I guess I never saved my desktop configs - just my carputer stuff. 2008 was a long time ago. Oh well.

Fun!

Over the past few months, I have found myself under the spotlight on kernel mailing lists. What started as targeted discussions quickly turned into advocating for the kernel community to respect the mostly silent crowd of developers and maintainers who do not want to fully embrace AI usage. It appears this didn't go unnoticed, as shown by Jon Corbet's talk at Kernel Recipes. (1/5)

anyway, here are the results from the questionnaire: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/council/-/blob/master/minutes/2026-08-09-ai-developer-poll.md

a large question I have: the report was authored on 2026-08-09, but was just published yesterday. why did it take so long? why did I have to ask about the report in order for it to be published?

my guess is that alpine will allow AI, despite the position that it should be banned being strongest (but not strong enough to meet a plurality).

same outcome as Debian, basically.

Well I've already caved to using #FreeBSD instead of #NetBSD because it better supports my hardware and I was really hoping I could take refuge with NetBSD's clear stance against LLM sludge. I feel like I've spent so many days just installing operating systems so I might just give up on trying to have a relatively clean #Linux.
