Version 3.0 of the Offpunk offline-first, command-line web, Gemini, and Gopher browser has been released. Notable changes in this release include integration of the unmerdify library to "remove cruft" from web sites, the xkcdpunk standalone tool for viewing xkcd comics in the terminal, and a cookies command to enable browsing web sites (such as LWN.net) while being logged in. Something wonderful happened on the road leading to 3.0: Offpunk became a true cooperative effort. Offpunk 3.0 is probably the first release that contains code I didn't review line-by-line. Unmerdify (by Vincent Jousse), all the translation infrastructure (by the always-present JMCS), and the community packaging effort are areas for which I barely touched the code. So, before anything else, I want to thank all the people involved for sharing their energy and motivation. I'm very grateful for every contribution the project received. I'm also really happy to see "old names" replying from time to time on the mailing

Sean Whitton has announced that Debian's tag2upload service is now out of beta and ready for use by Debian developers and maintainers. During the beta we encountered only a few significant bugs. Now that we've fixed those, our rate of successful uploads is hovering around 95%. Failures are almost always due to packaging inconsistencies that older workflows don't detect, and therefore only need fixing once per package. We don't think you need explicit approval from your co-maintainers anymore. Your upload workflows can be different to your teammates. They can be using dput, dgit or tag2upload. LWN covered tag2upload in July 2024.
pearOS 26.2 distribution is now available for download with liquid glass design, Wayland session, new browser, new installer, and much more. Here's what's new!
While we are very eager for the AMD openSIL open-source CPU silicon initialization project to achieve production readiness with Zen 6 platforms for ultimately replacing AGESA, there is some experimental excitement on the way for open-source firmware enthusiasts... OpenSIL and Coreboot are being brought to an AM5 motherboard you can buy retail...
Last week I began publishing the many exciting Panther Lake benchmarks under Linux from the interesting CPU performance and efficiency to the much anticipated Xe3 graphics with the Intel Arc B390 graphics. Up today is a look at how the out-of-the-box performance for the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H compares under Microsoft Windows 11 and the current Ubuntu Linux 26.04 development state.
We fixed Heartbleed. We didn’t fix the open source funding problem that still asks the people securing our infrastructure to volunteer while we overpay commodity app builders. The post Sudo, Heartbleed, and the Lessons We Still Haven’t Learned appeared first on FOSS Force.
Debian's tag2upload has finally reached general availability "GA" status for helping Debian developers/maintainers with an improved Git-based packaging workflow...
