Advice needed: I want to set up #Linux Kiosk PCs. Users must log in with a card ID and password that are verified via a PHP webservice against a MariaDB.

The challenge: I need the Linux desktop login (e.g., via a Display Manager like LightDM/GDM) to authenticate against the custom remote service.

How can I implement this? Custom PAM module? Python-pam? Scripts?🤔

In my search for the perfect Linux desktop distribution, I came across Zorin OS 18 about three weeks ago, after the entire Linux YouTube community responded with rave reviews to the latest release.

And while I was only moderately enthusiastic about earlier versions, if not at all, in the case of version 18, I have to join the applauding crowd!

Firstly, everything works out of the box, and secondly, the graphical implementation of the GNOME desktop is a perfect blend of the old Windows 10 start menu for those switching over and the polish of macOS. GNOME on KDE style, only working better with apps like Calendar – where I ALWAYS have problems with synchronization in KDE (Akonadi)!

I now use Zorin OS 18 Pro (yes, I was so enthusiastic that I bought the Pro version for EUR 47, also to support the team) as my main system on my desktop computer.

On the ThinkPad T490s, however, I run Fedora 43 because I also want to use a more current distribution.

A minor disadvantage of Zorin OS is that it is based on Ubuntu LTS, with correspondingly older kernel and program versions. But as long as you don't use brand new or exotic hardware, everything works fine. And not having to install updates (several times) every day, as is currently the case with Fedora, is also a nice thing.

I can only recommend everyone to take a look at Zorin OS. The core version is free and is perfectly adequate for most people.

NPM just got hit by another supply chain mess. Attackers uploaded 126 credential-stealing packages that used “Remote Dynamic Dependencies” to quietly fetch malware from untrusted sites. Over 86,000 downloads later, the campaign (dubbed PhantomRaven) shows how blind traditional scanning still is to dynamic or AI-generated code patterns. What makes this dangerous isn’t just the malicious code, it’s the infrastructure gap. Dependencies downloaded “fresh” on install mean attackers can serve clean code to researchers and poison code to production networks. That’s targeted compromise at scale.

@millie I get what you mean — that kind of inconsistency can really throw off the visual flow. It’s one of those little things that nags at you every time you notice it. Still, it’s part of the charm (and chaos) of the #Linux and #OpenSource ecosystem — the eternal tug-of-war between #GNOME minimalism and #KDE maximalism.

Introducing Refine, an app to tweak advanced and experimental settings in GNOME. It is an alternative to GNOME Tweaks, and is a pet project I'm currently working to experiment with PyGObject and dconf, while following the data-driven, object-oriented, and composition paradigms.

The entire codebase is made up of widgets that provide all the functionality needed to add an option. For example, instead of adding each option programmatically in Refine, the ultimate goal is to have it all done in the UI file.

For example, if we want to add an option to enable or disable middle click paste, all we need is the following code in the UI file:

$RefineSwitchRow {
  title: _('Middle Click Paste');
  schema-id: 'org.gnome.desktop.interface';
  key: 'gtk-enable-primary-paste';
}

That's it. The RefineSwitchRow widget will do whatever it needs to do to ensure the option is available, grab the setting if it's available, and display it to the user. Many of these widgets provide extra functionality, such as a Reset button.

You can get Refine on Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/page.tesk.Refine

Everything else (source code, screenshot, etc.) is in the project website: https://tesk.page/refine/, as well as the Flathub link.

Day 3: delete

While we have the common dd, x or d{motion} like dap to delete a paragraph or daw to delete a word, there are less known ones.

When you do a 'd' like 'dap' to delete a paragraph, Vim copies it in the _yank_ register, overwriting what you have copied before.

To avoid that, use the "black hole register":

"_d{motion}

"_dd will delete the line without storing it.

🐡 Setting up a very simple (but IPv6 capable) home router with OpenBSD 7.7 / Jamie Montgomerie

｢ OpenBSD is wonderful for this task. It’s small. I allocated 512MB of RAM to the VM, and it’s using 183MB of it. It’s using about 2G of disk space, without really any attempt on my part to keep it small beyond the obvious (no windowing system or games installed). Installation was super simple ｣

Earlier this year, I developed "ansible_jailexec", a modern Ansible connection plugin that can manage FreeBSD Jails via jexec from the host (incl. transparent file copy into the jails filesystem). All released under a BSD license.

That way, you can automate FreeBSD Jails via Ansible, even when they have no ssh or network connectivity.

On Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/Larvitz/ansible_jailexec

On GitHub: https://github.com/chofstede/ansible_jailexec/

The connection-plugin comes as a single python file (jailexec.py) and comes with Unit tests and internal safety checks.

Maybe someone finds it useful Happy automating 🙂

For the longest time, I felt #Debian's twoish-year release cycle was too long. But now that #trixie's #KDE is so nice and stable - I never thought I'd say this - the two-year cycle feels NOT LONG ENOUGH. I want this stretch of excellent stability and functionality I'm experiencing to never end. May the upgrade treadmill just sort of stop right here. May there never be a QT 7, a KDE 7 etc. To my mind they've got it just nice now. I don't give a care about zero-value features like rounded corners, etc. Screw change for the sake of change.

Folks, this is getting serious. My first open source (MIT license) project and I have no idea what I'm doing 😨

It's called nvirt. The concept in a nutshell: it's similer to writing/using a dockerfile, but for libvirt VMs.

Docs if you're curious to read more: https://nvirt-cli.gitlab.io/

I've just tagged v0.1.0 for testing, feedback and a bit more "tidy up" dev, especially before I commit to backwards compatibility for the "virtfile" format, but for anyone who's interested I'd appreciate feedback, ideas and/or rebukes (if I have wasted my time or committed any cardinal sins given I'm new to Go and actually publishing stuff...)

Huge shout-out for the #libguestfs and #virtManager projects - pretty sure I wouldn't have attempted something like this if those tools didn't exist.

What I don’t understand about #opensource and #llm is that many more people that use llm don’t care about change set requests.
It is really not a great direction to maintain projects if people don’t care about their change requests. Of course you can create a lot of code fast by llm and it is good, but review your own code and pr description before sending your change request (open a PR) would be helpful.
I wonder how others feel about it and if you have already good wording practices as maintainer it would be great to hear from you!

I feel for this user - I’m a fellow ADHD sufferer and their distress is all too clear to me - and I tried to help them in the replies.

But on the other hand, I’m utterly enraged at the broader problem, and all the people who aren’t taking action today, choosing instead to wait until the water is past their neck.

This is the latest example of why we shouldn’t use #nonfree / #proprietary / #restricted and #centralized platforms like #Telegram, #Discord, #WhatsApp, #Signal, #Instagram, #Facebook, #Twitter, #LinkedIn, #Bluesky, #GitHub, and others.

There’s a whole-ass history of centralized platforms having the same class of issues. When are y’all gonna stop ignoring the problem and start exercising the power you have?

It’s as simple as quitting centralized platforms, switching to #FreedomRespecting #decentralized platforms like #ActivityPub and #XMPP, and telling others to do the same.

Create your communities there, and tell others about them. Move all your activity there. Onboard your friends and family. When there’s no other way to reach you, they will move.

Keep up the social pressure, and never relent.

Here’s a user’s guide to XMPP, for whoever needs it.

And developers? Get involved, improve the protocols, the clients, the servers…heck, I’m pretty sure a lot of features and fixes are popular/longstanding enough to make it feasible to crowdfund your patches!
