<p>Back in 1980, the video game Battlezone was released, and it marked a major advancement in the world of computer graphics since it was the first game with a 3D first-person perspective. In it, the player must pilot a tank around a battlefield and fire at targets in an attempt to rack up the highest score possible. So as a way to commemorate the groundbreaking game, Mark Wilson created an approximation that

runs on an Arduino Uno.</p>

<p>Another month, another chance to look at the distro stats on ProtonDB. I don’t typically cover them that often, but this time there’s definitely a new trend to focus on: Fedora usage is seriously on the way up.</p>

<p>It turns out that it is not just a whole lot of money at stake. When you involve lawyers, everybody's dirty laundry has to come out. Serious people quit and new people will be reluctant to replace them. Carter has demonstrated with his own words, above, that he did not calculate the real cost of this extreme act of bullying. Therefore, the only act of leadership remaining for this Debian Project Leader is

to apologize and resign or prove that some other party, like Google, blackmailed him to do this.</p>

The narrative you use unfortunately leaves some women subjected to unwarranted shaming already. With or without their names online...

schestowitz

Not sure of the best approach, maybe blurring faces would have worked. Focusing on the 'predators' and not showing who they are using.

It contains quite a lot of packages which cannot make it into TeX Live proper out of various reasons. Thanks to CTAN Team, package pages on CTAN now also show if the package is available via tlcontrib. Here is an example from the classico package: [...]</p>

-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-New HTTP core specs | daniel.haxx.se

schestowitz

<p>Before this, the latest refreshed specification of HTTP/1.1 was done in the RFC 7230 series, published in June 2014. After that, HTTP/2 was done in the spring of 2015 and recently the HTTP/3 spec has been a work in progress.</p>

schestowitz

<p>To better reflect this new world of multiple HTTP versions and an HTTP protocol ecosystem that has some parts that are common for all versions and some other parts that are specific for each particular version, the team behind this refresh has been working on this updated series.</p>

<p>A few months ago, Elephant Robotics launched the myPalletizer, which was a robotic ARM with 4 degrees of freedom (DOF) built around the Raspberry Pi 4. The company has just released a similar robotic ARM that has 6 degrees of freedom, 270mm for robot workspace and it’s also powered by the Raspberry Pi 4 for easy user interface.</p>

schestowitz

<p>It seems that the mechArm Pi 270 was originally showcased on Indiegogo and Kickstarter. According to Elephant Robotics, the mechArm team has officially joined them. </p>

<p>Hello geeks, booting Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) into rescue and emergency mode helps to reset the forgotten user password, fix the file system errors and disabling or enabling systemd service during boot.</p>

<p>In this post, we will learn how to boot Ubuntu 22.04 LTS system into rescue and emergency mode. Rescue mode is similar to single user mode where are all troubleshooting steps are executed. Rescue mode loads the minimal environment and mount root file system.</p>
