    These past two weeks in KDE: massive stability work for Plasma 6.1

    Sorry for the interruption last week; I was on vacation. While I was vacating, my colleagues were in full-on fix-everything mode in preparation for the upcoming Plasma 6.1 release in a little over a week. And what a release it promises to be! I think this is going to be a good one, folks. Lots of great features, improved performance and smoothness, and oodles of fixes for all kinds [10:00] schestowitz[TR2] of strange bugs with your wild and wacky hardware devices!

    The majority of US states have something called a "Department of Motor Vehicles," or DMV. Actually, the universality of the term "DMV" seems to be overstated. A more general term is "motor vehicle administrator," used for example by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators to address the inconsistent terminology.

    The Sun Is Hitting a Phenomenal 11-Year Peak, And The Effects Could Be Huge

    In the right circumstances, these are what ultimately generate the pretty auroras in the sky, as well as the geomagnetic storms that can damage infrastructure such as power grids and orbiting satellites.

    [12:27] schestowitz[TR2]

    So what is actually going on to cause these phenomena? The northern and southern Lights are usually confined to very high and very low latitudes. High-energy particles from the Sun flow toward the Earth, guided by the solar magnetic field. They are transferred onto the Earth's magnetic field in a process known as reconnection.

    Bootstrapping PC DOS 3.30 on an IBM 5160 PC/XT

    I didnt expect such interest from my IBM 5160 XT retrospective post last Thursday! Other 8-bit machines from Commodore, Apple and the like are cool, but I didnt realise there were as many retrocomputing fans of early IBM too. I suppose it makes sense.

    Real-time and Core editions of Ubuntu are here

    [12:52] schestowitz[TR2]

    Other bits of the 2024 Ubuntu release cycle are also falling into place. Canonical has also announced the release of the 24.04 version of Real-time Ubuntu. We looked at Real-time Ubuntu when the company released the previous LTS version in February last year. This time, the interval between the standard and the real-time releases has noticeably shortened. While 22.04 RT came out nearly a y [12:52] schestowitz[TR2] ear after 22.04 (42 weeks later, to be precise), the Noble real-time release followed after just a month.
