      It speaks to the Linux desktop’s maturity that these hang-ups are exceptions, not the rule. I know more than one person in my social circles who has switched to Linux and hasn’t looked back.

      Given how Linux has continued only to climb higher, I’m looking forward to the days ahead of not realizing I’m on Linux most of the time.

    • Make Use Of12 Ways to Enumerate Linux for Privilege Escalation

      Enumeration is one of the key stages of penetration testing. It's the first thing to do when you've compromised a target system as a penetration tester. Although there are a plethora of tools to automate this process, it's always recommended to manually scour through and double-check the system for potential vectors of privilege escalation.

      • Tomeu Vizoso: Etnaviv NPU update 1: Planning for performance

        As I wrote in the last update, my OpenCL branch is able to correctly run MobileNet v1 with the GPU delegate in TensorFlow-Lite, albeit much slower than with VeriSilicon's proprietary stack.

        In the weeks that passed I have been investigating the performance difference, understanding better how the HW works and what could the explanation be. Inference with Etnaviv took 1200 ms, while the proprietary stack did the same in less than 10 ms (120x faster!).

        When trying to understand the big performance difference I discovered that the existing reverse engineering tools that I had been using to understand how to run OpenCL workloads weren't working. They detected a single OpenCL kernel at the end of the execution, and there was no way that single kernel could be executing the whole network.

    • Beta NewsDebian 12-based MX Linux 23 Beta 1 'Libretto' is the Windows 11 alternative of your dreams

      In a world dominated by Windows, it's refreshing to see alternative operating systems stepping up their game. MX-23 beta 1, built from Debian 12 "Bookworm" and MX repositories, offers a promising option for users seeking an alternative to the Windows experience. With a range of new features and improvements, MX-23 beta 1 presents itself as a reliable and user-friendly operating system. Let's delve into the details and explore why MX-23, code-named “Libretto,” is a compelling choice for those looking to break free from Windows.

      The MX-23 beta 1 installer introduces several noteworthy improvements. One standout feature is the support for both swap partitions and swapfiles. The option to default to swapfiles during the auto installation process adds flexibility to system configuration. Additionally, the installer now features GUI adjustments and enhanced help guidance, making the installation process more intuitive for users. MX-23 beta 1 also introduces the -oem option, enabling user creation on the first boot after installation, further streamlining the setup experience.

      The live boot menus in MX-23 beta 1 have been enhanced to provide users with a more convenient "check media" function. This addition allows for quick media verification, ensuring a smooth boot process if everything appears to be in order. With these improvements, MX-23 beta 1 prioritizes user convenience and minimizes potential issues during the booting phase.

        Nitrux 2.8.1, codenamed "sc" for "safer computing," has been released, offering enhanced privacy and security features. While the distribution does not claim to be impenetrable or unhackable, it aims to protect users' privacy and provide tools for online anonymization. The release is made possible through collaboration with packagecloud, which provides the necessary infrastructure for building the distribution.

        New users are advised to perform a fresh installation using the latest media. For existing users of version 2.8.0, it is recommended to review the release notes for specific instructions. Notably, Nitrux 2.8.1 employs Linux 6.3.4-1 (Liquorix) as its kernel.

        Several components of the distribution have been updated in this release. Noteworthy updates include KDE Plasma 5.27.5, KDE Frameworks 5.106.0, and KDE Gear 23.04.1. Additionally, Firefox has been updated to version 113.0.2. The MESA component has also been updated to version 23.2.

        While the phone only had a 2,200 mAh battery, there’s more room in the mini-laptop, so once you know the power requirements it’s possible to add a connect a larger battery to the BSI board: modified version has a 4,000 mAh battery.

          That decision was not right, and first off we want to publicly apologize for the harm we caused. We failed you JeanHeyd. The idea of downgrading a talk after the invitation was insulting, and nobody in leadership should have been willing to entertain it.

      Nicaraguan poet and novelist Gioconda Belli, known for her feminist and erotic literature, has been awarded the Reina Sofia Ibero-American Poetry prize. Considered among Latin America’s best-known writers, Belli’s work has been translated into more than 20 languages and includes 15 poetry collections, eight novels, and seven books of essays, testimonials and children’s stories. The prize announced Monday is considered the most important for Spanish and Portuguese poetry. Her first poems were published in the Managua newspaper La Prensa when she was 20 years old. Her first poetry collection, “Sobre la grama,” or On the Grass, was published in 1972.

      • Web Pro NewsIntel’s Turnaround, and Pat Gelsinger’s Legacy, Is In Jeopardy



        Intel’s turnaround is not exactly going as planned, jeopardizing its future and CEO Pat Gelsinger’s legacy as the architect of the company’s plan.

        Once the world’s top chipmaking company, Intel has been eclipsed in recent years by its rivals, both old and new. TSMC has gained the technological upper hand, AMD is taking business from Intel’s strongholds, and Nvidia’s value is skyrocketing, surpassing Intel.

        As The Wall Street Journal’s Asa Fitch reports, as bad as those issues appear, Intel’s problems run deeper and are putting its turnaround in jeopardy.

        Intel is in a unique position in the semiconductor industry, one of the only companies that both design and manufactures chips. When he returned to the company and took over the role of CEO, Gelsinger minced no words about why Intel’s fortunes had turned, saying previous leaders lost the company’s “maniacal” focus on manufacturing.

      • InfoWorldChatGPT’s parasitic machine

        I’m sure the history of technology parasites predates open source, but that’s when my career started, so I’ll begin there. Since the earliest days of Linux or MySQL, there were companies set up to profit from others’ contributions. Most recently in Linux, for example, Rocky Linux and Alma Linux both promise “bug for bug compatibility” with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), while contributing nothing toward Red Hat’s success. Indeed, the natural conclusion of these two RHEL clones’ success would be to eliminate their host, leading to their own demise, which is why one person in the Linux space called them the “dirtbags” of open source.

        Perhaps too colorful a phrase, but you see their point. It’s the same criticism once lobbed at AWS (a “strip-mining” criticism that loses relevance by the day) and has motivated a number of closed source licensing permutations, business model contortions, and seemingly endless discussion about open source sustainability.

        Open source, of course, has never been stronger. Individual open source projects, however, have varying degrees of health. Some projects (and project maintainers) have figured out how to manage “takers” within their communities; others have not. As a trend, however, open source keeps growing in importance and strength.

Several of Bolivia’s top leaders have demanded an impartial investigation into the death of Carlos Alberto Colodro, 63, who was appointed as trustee of Fassil Bank last month after the government took control of it amid its insolvency and a run on deposits. Colodro, who was tasked with liquidating the bank, was found dead on Saturday, apparently from a fall from a building in the eastern city of Santa Cruz.

Young adults there are dealing with an extreme version of the same problem facing the American TikTok generation: finding a well-paying job that meets their expectations. The search for a stable and well-paid white-collar job has become a bit of a boring take on a medieval quest, a hiring process that takes months and multiple rounds of applications only for multiple rejections. A bigger problem than the dystopian job application process, however, is the mismatch between what young people want and what their leaders want to give them. The result in China? A youth unemployment crisis of epic proportions, with one in five people between the ages of 16 and 24 out of work, according to the National Bureau of Statistics via Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal.
