  1. Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka will improve your desktop experience

    Last month, Ubuntu 25.10 development had started by updating the Ubuntu repository servers to serve new information for this upcoming version of Ubuntu, which is the final interim release before the next Long Term Support (LTS) release, which will be Ubuntu 26.04 LTS RR. The roadmap has been finally shared on the Ubuntu Discourse forums to let you know about how this version of Ubuntu will progress.

    According to the roadmap, the following key features of Ubuntu 25.10 (our curation) will be:

    • Desktop Experience
      • GNOME 49 will land to this version of Ubuntu to bring in some of Wayland-related improvements, especially when you’re on a computer that uses NVIDIA graphics cards, the latest being NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50xx series.
      • Loupe will be used by default as a new image editor that will streamline your user experience. Meanwhile, a new terminal emulator, Ptyxis (or GNOME Prompt), will be used in lieu of the older GNOME Terminal, all under the GNOME umbrella.
      • If you are gaming on Ubuntu, the Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) feature has been added to Mutter to improve your gaming performance on compatible monitors, such as the latest Samsung Odyssey gaming monitors.
      • RISC-V users will be able to experience the full Ubuntu Desktop for the first time, especially as this processor architecture gains in popularity. Basic applications, such as Mozilla Firefox, will be usable there.
    • TPM-backed FDE
      • Full disk encryption will be backed by your TPM chip that is either discrete or integrated, especially when you’re using TPM 2.0. The recovery key management will be available to you, where you’ll be able to view, save, and print your recovery key during the installation stage. You can regenerate the key later, in case you lost it. You will be able to use your PIN.
      • In addition to that, firmware updates, especially the BIOS ones, may trigger a “hardware change” detection mechanism, which will cause your system to prompt you for your recovery key to unlock your hard drive again. Taking this into account, the firmware updater will give you a warning message when you proceed to upgrade the firmware. BIOS updates will only be done if you’ve enabled UEFI capsule and you’re booting Ubuntu in UEFI mode.
    • Ubuntu Desktop Documentation
      • Starting from this version of Ubuntu, the documentation will be refined to diverge from the traditional and hard-to-follow generic documentation to the more refined docs to allow end users to learn more about the Ubuntu Desktop more efficiently.
    • Accessibility
      • While accessibility remains a core part of Ubuntu’s mission, the Ubuntu team is preparing to follow all the rules by the deadline of the European Accessibility Act (EAA) enforcement, which will be in June 2025.
      • Accessibility features will be improved to make sure that everyone will be able to use the Ubuntu desktop.

    The release timeline will be as follows:

    • Feature Freeze: August 14, 2025
    • User Interface Freeze: September 4, 2025
    • Beta Release: September 18, 2025
    • Final Release: October 9, 2025

    Stay tuned for more Ubuntu updates!

  7. @pycomtois J'ai lu et je plussoie. Mais comme qu'y dit: le cirque médiatique autours des malles à l'fa est surfait. Donc sa conclusion aurait pu être:

    « S’appuyer sur ce qui bouillonne dans les médias pour tenter d’expliquer le présent, c’est faire fausse route. Car les médias ne sont en rien - en rien ! - le reflet fidèle de la société. »

  8. Monolith; Archivematica

    Just two resources, today, as $WORK and #2.1 have encroached on the cycles usually reserved for personal research this week.

    I spend an inordinate amount of time archiving and preserving content from the web and other places. Not just for these Drops, but also for the work I do fighting the good fight in cyber and against those who seek to dismantle liberal democracy and harm others. The two tools in today’s drop make that work a bit easier (though there is a bit of tedium in the second tool as it is a more “official” hoarding platform).

    If you need/want to preserve content from the web, or archive other digital assets, read on!

    TL;DR

    This is an AI-generated summary of today’s Drop.

    • The post discusses two tools for archiving and preserving digital content. The first tool is Monolith, a Rust-based CLI tool that can convert any HTML page into a self-contained HTML file. This tool embeds all necessary assets such as CSS, JavaScript, and images into a single HTML file, allowing for offline access and preservation of the original webpage.
    • The second tool discussed is Archivematica, an open-source digital preservation system. Archivematica processes digital content such as documents, photos, and videos to ensure they meet international preservation standards. It creates Archival Information Packages (AIPs) and Dissemination Information Packages (DIPs) from Submission Information Packages (SIPs), ensuring the digital content remains accessible despite technological changes.

    Monolith

    One of the more compelling features of both R Markdown and Quarto HTML documents is the ability to create an entirely self-contained HTML file. While I wouldn’t use said file in a production hosting capacity (they can be yuge), they are super handy for shipping interactive reports around.

    What if you could do that for any HTML page from the command line?

    We’re not talking about generating a WARC archive, or (now deprecated) WebKit .webarchive. This is a fully standalone and functional single HTML file.

    Well, we can, with monolith (GH), a simple and efficient Rust-based CLI tool for embedding all the things necessary to reproduce a web page into a single HTML file (i.e., give it a URL as an input, and it will output a single HTML file that faithfully reproduces the original web page, including all its assets like CSS, JavaScript, and images). This means you get a fully interactive page, not just a static screenshot or janky PDF. It’s like having the entire web page in your pocket, available anytime, anywhere, even without an internet connection.

    Monolith is not just a simple web scraper. It’s a sophisticated tool that has evolved over time, with features added in response to community input. For instance, it supports a wide range of charsets aside from UTF-8, and it has an option for saving a document using custom encoding. It also can process and embed the contents of <noscript> tags, and it can enforce the saved document’s charset to always be set to UTF-8.

    You can even use it with Chromium/Thorium to capture the state and resources of a dynamically loaded page.

    The repo has extensive installation and usage examples, so I’ll leave you in their hands for that. And, the section header is a partial capture of the HTML generated by Monolith archiving rud.is/b.

    Archivematica

    Archivematica (GH) is an open-source digital preservation system that’s a bit like a sophisticated time capsule for all sorts of digital content: documents, photos, videos, etc. This tool takes these files and processes them so that they’re preserved in a way that meets international standards.

    Along with faithfully storing the original content, Archivematica transforms them into formats that are less likely to become obsolete, making sure that future generations can still access them. This process involves creating Archival Information Packages (AIPs) and Dissemination Information Packages (DIPs) from Submission Information Packages (SIPs). These packages are like the DNA of digital preservation, ensuring that all the necessary information for future access and understanding is bundled up neatly.

    The utility of Archivematica can’t be overstated. Technology changes at breakneck speed, and the risk of digital files becoming unreadable is very, very real. Archivematica mitigates this risk by adhering to the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) reference model, which is the preeminent standard for preserving digital information. By adhering to this model, this tool ensures that the digital content remains accessible, no matter what new technology comes along.

    For those who work in libraries, archives, or any institution with a digital collection, Archivematica is a game-changer. I’d argue it’s also a great tool for those of us who are trying to salvage the last vestiges of liberal democracy, as it enables us to precisely and accurately preserve history. Plus, being open-source means that the code is freely available for anyone to study, modify, and improve. This transparency is crucial for institutions that want to show stakeholders exactly how they’re preserving cultural heritage materials.

    The target environment is Linux, but it is container-friendly.

  14. Fun fact, our community here on #OCW has been around for a long time, and around 2010 when #Minecraft released their first multiplayer-compatible builds, we decided to host our own private server together! Several of our members at the time are no longer part of the community for various reasons, but at least the world in which we shared still exists.

    I was able to find some original screenshots from back then, a little time capsule from a long-past era of #nostalgia and #friendship that I figured I'd share with the wider #Fediverse.

  19. If you have moringa powder capsules, please read this notice from the FDA about infections.

    One sentence in particular stood out to me: "The Salmonella strain associated with this outbreak is resistant to all first-line and alternative antibiotics commonly recommended for the treatment of Salmonella infections." That means that if you get sick from it, you can't necessarily depend on a doctor to be able to fix you up.

    I really appreciate his work. Bonus point: he left They GrayZone when Max Blumenthal turned anti-vax (without any push back from Aaron Maté 😕 , still there). Oh and Blumenthal is verging on climato-denialism.
