The LWN.net Weekly Edition for January 9, 2025 is available.

The Sequoia OpenPGP library has been in development for some time. LWN covered the library in 2020. Now the project's command-line interface has been released. The sq tool offers a promising alternative to the venerable GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) tool — albeit one with a different interface, set of terminology, and approach to the web of trust. Several distributions are making increasing use of the tool behind the scenes.

The Tor Project has published a review of major milestones from 2024, including merging with the Tails project, work to enable human-friendly .onion addresses, and the launch of WebTunnel:

By mimicking common internet protocols, WebTunnel improves the resilience of the Tor network in regions with heavy censorship. And since its launch earlier this year, we've made sure to prioritize small download sizes for more convenient distribution and simplified the support of uTLS integration further mimicking the characteristics of more widespread browsers. This makes Webtunnel safe for general users because it helps conceal the fact that a tool like Tor is being used.

For someone new to Linux, using it can still feel challenging, even with user-friendly distributions like Ubuntu and Mint.

While these distributions simplify many tasks, some manual configuration is often required, but fully harnessing the power of Linux, understanding basic commands is essential.

In Linux, commands are the primary way to interact with the system and allow users to perform tasks, configure settings, and manage the system efficiently.

This guide introduces 60 essential Linux commands, providing a foundation for beginners and a pathway to becoming a skilled system administrator. These commands cover a wide range of functions, from navigating directories and managing files to performing advanced system operations.

Whether you’re just starting out or aiming to deepen your expertise, these commands will help you unlock the full potential of Linux.

Sharp.js is an image processing library for Node.js that provides a high-performance API for manipulating images.

It supports a wide range of operations, including resizing, cropping, rotating, and converting image formats. The framework is built on top of the libvips library, which is known for its speed and memory efficiency compared to other image processing libraries like ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick.

Sharp.js can handle a variety of image formats, including JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, and GIF, which is particularly well-suited for applications that need to process large numbers of images or require fast processing times.
