Learn how Red Hat IT designed its strategy to migrate from Ansible Tower to Ansible Automation Platform 2.
In September I was in Czechia for a Red Hat event. I ended up travelling via Prague, and had an unexpected extra day due to an airline strike causing my flight home to be cancelled. I took the opportunity to visit Prusa's offices/factory/Lab, and it was amazing!
The Prusa team were all busy getting ready for the Prague Maker Faire that was happening the day afterwards.1
On arriving at the street which houses Prusa's Lab and Office buildings, the first thing that hit me was the smell. I find the melted-plastic smell of FDM printing (with PLA, at least) quite pleasant, and this was a super-condensed version of that, pumping out of their ground-floor windows. I started at the reception area on the ground floor. Outside reception there's a lovely sculpture representing the history of the development of the MK3S+.
If you read our sister site omg! linux you’ll already know of one particular change that makes Nautilus 44 an especially exciting update: the return of Expandable Folders in List View option.
Accessible from the file manager’s Preferences panel, this opt-in behaviour makes it faster to flit through folders to find a specific file when using list view (this feature doesn’t work in icon view). When enabled you’re able to expand and collapse folders tree view style to maintain a top-level overview of directory structure while navigating.
The damage and destruction caused by structure fires to both people and the property itself is immense, which is why accurate and reliable fire detection systems are a must-have.

The pgAdmin Development Team is pleased to announce pgAdmin 4 version 6.20. This release of pgAdmin 4 includes 18 bug fixes and new features. For more details please see therelease notes.
pgAdmin is the leading Open Source graphical management tool for PostgreSQL. For more information, please seethe website.
Note
Whilst pgAdmin 4 does not formally support downgrading, it typically does work if you uninstall and then reinstall the application.
This release of pgAdmin includes a major change to the configuration database structure which is NOT backward compatible, and therefore a straightforward downgrade will not work.
If you are using the default SQLite database for your configuration (as will be the case for the vast majority of users), the old version of the configuration database will be backed up to "pgadmin4.db.prev.bak" in your storage directory. If you wish to downgrade to pgAdmin v6.19 or earlier, after running v6.20, you must restore this file to "pgadmin4.db" in the same directory, BEFORE starting the older version of pgAdmin again.

85-year-old Ismihan was trapped under a building for days after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Turkey. Video captured the moment her nephew helped to rescue her.
It's been a week since a massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake rocked Turkey and Syria, claiming the lives of more than 36,000 people. Many tens of thousands more have been injured. Millions may be left homeless.
The death toll has now topped 25,000, but rescuers saved at least nine people, including a family of five, from the rubble on Saturday.
Dogs in the rescue teams from Türkiye and from twelve other countries played an important role in the rescue efforts following the February 6 earthquakes and saved many people's lives.
The rescue phase following the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria on February 6 is "coming to a close", with urgency now switching to providing shelter, food, schooling and psychosocial care, United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths said during a visit to Aleppo in northern Syria on Monday. The combined death toll has surpassed 35,000. (GMT+1).
Developers in Turkey’s construction sector are in the hot seat and dozens have been arrested following the earthquakes that collapsed of thousands of multi-storey buildings and individual houses on February 6, killing tens of thousands. FRANCE 24's€ Shona Bhattacharyya, Ludovic de Foucaud and Hussein Asad report from Osmaniye, Turkey.
Search and rescue teams are still at work amid an apocalyptic landscape in Nurdagi, a southeastern Turkish town near the epicentre of the January 6 earthquakes. But at this point they are looking for the remains of the dead, not survivors.
The Emergency Relief Coordinator of the UN Martin Griffiths Sunday declared that there has been a failure in the delivery of international aid to the people of northwest Syria. Griffith urgently calls for international support in the wake of a series of earthquakes that hit Türkiye, Syria, and the surrounding region.
Tessa Chapman gives an insight into reporting from Turkey in the wake of the disaster.
Rescuers pulled outmore survivors, including a pregnant woman and two children, six days after a pair of earthquakes collapsed thousands of buildings in southeastern Turkey and northern Syria on February 6. However, the death toll from the quakes continued to rise, with officials reporting 33,179 fatalities on Sunday. As the slow rescue efforts frustrated people, blame for the disaster fell on faulty construction methods, which resulted in many buildings being unable to withstand the quakes.
While the death tolland destruction of the recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria dominate the news, many wonder how strong the quake was and what the scale used to measure earthquakes means.
The Richter scale is a tool used to measure the magnitude of earthquakes. Developed in the 1930s by seismologistCharles Richter, the scale ranges from 0 to 10.

Petter’s latest Mentour Pilot episode on thecrash of Sriwijaya flight 182was an eye-opening and tragic example of confirmation bias, emphasis added:
He has, for whatever reason, not been looking down at his instruments for the last twenty seconds or so [which would have shown asymmetric thrust in a faulty system]. The aircraft is inside cloud at this point, meaning that he likely has no outside horizon to guide him.
His mental model would have been that the aircraft was in a right bank, turning towards the heading that he had selected. He now suddenly hears a BANK ANGLE warning. And when he looks down, the first thing he likely sees is the control wheel displaced to the far right, confirming his mental model.
So what would you do, if you hear a bank angle warning, and see the control wheel to the right? Yes, the initial reaction the captain did was to disconnect the autopilot, and move the control wheel to the left.

I spent a lot of time yesterday in DOSbox playing a bunch of games I used to when I was a kid.
A 25-minute outage occurred for my gemini capsule from 05:55:18 UTC to 06:18:46 UTC. I was building a new docker image and after pulling it down to my server and redeploying the image, the molly-brown server refused to start and the container kept rebooting. Complaints about read only filesystem abounded. This is expected because I do run the container with a read only file system. It was worked flawlessly until now. When telegram alerts started coming in I knew that the capsule really was in in trouble.
Investigating the issue I checked for recent commits to the molly-brown repo and found two commits that modify the default access-log and error-log locations. Instead of writing the logs to stdout and stderr as was done in the past it now expected a file location. Removing the configured "-" option allowed the container to start. See the footnotes below for the two commits that gave clues at the same time broke my build.
While packages can be self-contained, usually they have dependencies with other packages or even frameworks to avoid duplicating code.
