So system admins, developers and security researchers are the [10:48] schestowitz[TR2] first people that we need. If we can write articles and translate it to various [10:48] schestowitz[TR2] human languages that will be great. We can discuss that in #fsf channel. [10:48] schestowitz[TR2] Also that would be great to have a community who volunteers 24/7/365. [10:48] schestowitz[TR2] Then we can talk other ideas like ai bot etc after building a strong community.

    openSUSE Tumbleweed Moves to SELinux

    [13:31] schestowitz[TR2]

    Regarding this, Tumbleweeds next ISO release will come with SELinux enabled and running in enforcing mode by default. Just a quick notethis change was announced on the openSUSE mailing list around mid-last year.

    [13:31] schestowitz[TR2]

    For those unfamiliar with SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux), it is a security feature built directly into the Linux kernel that controls what applications and users can access on a system.

    [13:34] schestowitz[TR2]

    Over a month after its previous 6.10 release, KDE announced the launch of Frameworks 6.11, expanding its collection of addon libraries to Qt and enhancing functionality available to developers across various platforms.

    [13:34] schestowitz[TR2]

    One noticeable trend in 6.11 is the introduction of XML/YAML linting across multiple libraries such as Attica, Baloo, Bluez Qt, Extra CMake Modules, and many others.

    Increased Linux kernel timer frequency delivers big boost in AI workloads
    [13:51] schestowitz[TR2]
    [13:51] schestowitz[TR2]

    At the weekend, a Google engineer proposed raising the default Linux kernel timer frequency from 250 Hz to 1,000 Hz. Linux-centric tech site Phoronix has quickly stepped up and assessed what the change might mean to users with a suite of A/B testing. Spoiler alert: The most notable benefits were seen in AI LLM acceleration. Elsewhere, the differences might be considered within the margin o [13:51] schestowitz[TR2] f error of system benchmarking. System power consumption changes seen in the comparison were also minimal.
