Debian 12.15 - Final 32-Bit Update for Debian Released
For those unaware, the last point release for Debian 12 was announced today. However, this is also the final point release of an 32-bit build for Debian, meaning that there will be no more regular updates to the 32-bit line of Debian ever again. If you still have 32-bit hardware, you will have to formally change your distro or upgrade your hardware.

Whisp 1.3.7 - A minimalist GTK4 scratchpad now with powerful text & list macros!
Hey everyone! I’m the developer of Whisp, a lightweight, gesture-driven, Anti Folder note-taking app.
A lot of people loved the simplicity of the app, but wanted faster ways to format text without taking their hands off the keyboard. Today, I'm releasing Whisp 1.3.7, which brings a massive expansion to the built-in Macro Engine!
By simply typing ::, you can now instantly trigger powerful text manipulation commands right inside your note:
What's New in 1.3.7:
List Management: Automatically sort your lists alphabetically or numerically (::sort_lines_alpha), or instantly collapse white-space by wiping empty lines (::remove_lines_empty).
Task Organization: Have a messy to-do list? Type ::checked_to_bottom to instantly push a

TUI for configuring webcams
I think using CLIs like v4l2-ctl when configuring your webcam is a bit clunky, while using a full GUI like cameractrls feels bloated.
I'm comfortable with Rust and Ratatui and found a Rust crate that exposes Video4Linux bindings, so I just whipped this up.
I think it works quite well, let me know what you think!

Not your ordinary Linux distributions!
Is it obvious, that I like to try out the more independent and not your ordinary Linux distributions? 😂
So spinning up a VM every now and then and install Linux distributions that do their own thing! At the moment I have installed 4 distributions that not everyone may know or use. Or do you?

Interview with Nara Oliveira, Free Software Artist
This interview was originally recorded by GIMP developers, but it covers several open source art programs such as Inkscape, Scribus, MyPaint, and Blender - and how they're used in professional workflows.
Some references are a bit dated given when it was originally recorded (it's been sitting on a hard drive for a while), but I think it's a very interesting discussion.

I would like to try to install SteamOS on the PS4.
Hi everyone.
I would like to install SteamOS on the PlayStation 4. I don't want to just install Linux Arch and then Proton etc. on top. I want to build a machine that looks like as close as possible to the Steam Machine, software-wise. Does anyone have a working old PS4 to donate me ? If you want to donate me one, and I'll show you back the fully functional system and I will share the source code. Yeah,I'm short of money,that's the reason why I don't buy the PS4 with my money. But,I've accumulated a good knowledge using Claude.
I've asked Claude several times to do something completely new and we have been able to accomplish some interesting and fresh project :

Got a "Windows Hello only" USB fingerprint reader working on Linux by running the vendor's Windows matcher natively
Bought a cheap standalone USB fingerprint dongle (Focal-systems FT9201, 2808:93a9) that's marketed as Windows Hello only. libfprint's built-in matcher does a poor job on the tiny 96×96 sensor, and the device is "match-on-host" - the actual matching lives in a vendor Windows DLL, not on the chip.
So instead of reimplementing the matcher, the driver loads the vendor's Windows matching engine (ftWbioEngineAdapter.dll) in-process on Linux and calls its WinBio interface for enroll/verify. It's a small PE loader with ~90 kernel32 shims and a fake TEB. Getting there also meant reverse-engineering the sensor's firmware-boot sequence (the MCU wouldn't run its firmware without a specific register-co
