    Getting beyond ProcessExecutionErrors when installing Ubuntu on arm64
    [14:32] schestowitz[TR2]
    [14:32] schestowitz[TR2]

    The level or 'band' of SystemReady SR used by modern Ampere-based arm64 workstations and servers means you can install any out-of-the-box Linux distributions, as long as they provide an arm64-compatible installer.

    [14:32] schestowitz[TR2]

    Ubuntu has some of the most complete support for arm64, so I went to download a Live CD ISO I could flash to a USB stick, to install on my test Thelio Astra. For server installs (with no GUI), either 4k or 64k page sizes, there are easily-findable ISOs: [...]

    [15:00] schestowitz[TR2]

    Fedora Asahi Remix 41 is now available, delivering Fedora Linux 41 to Apple Silicon Macs. This release is the result of ongoing collaboration between the Fedora Asahi SIG and the Asahi Linux project. Fedora Asahi Remix was first introduced at Flock 2023 and made its debut later in December with Fedora Asahi Remix 39. [15:00] schestowitz[TR2] A major highlight of this release is support for x86 and x86-64 emulation, opening the door for AAA games on Apple Silicon hardware. This is made possible with the inclusion of the new Vulkan 1.4 driver, which brings improved compatibility and performance for gaming. Beyond that, Fedora Asahi Remix 41 delivers solid device support, including high-quality audio that works right out of the box. [15:00] schestowitz[TR2]

    PeerTube 7 Brings a Complete Makeover
    [15:26] schestowitz[TR2]
    [15:26] schestowitz[TR2]

    After seven years of steady evolution, PeerTube, a decentralized video hosting platform developed as an alternative to centralized ones such as YouTube, is taking a significant step forward by releasing PeerTube v7.

    [15:26] schestowitz[TR2]

    The highlight a completely revamped UI. Over the past years, PeerTubes original Black-and-Orange design and terminology gradually took shape, influenced by both necessity and community input. Now, the platform has stepped back to define a more intentional visual identity.

[15:33] schestowitz[TR2] Gerstner did stem the bleeding caused by IBM's inept leadership but he changed IBM's culture in the worst way. But he did nothing to improve the poor quality of IBM's executive leadership that caused the gaping wound in the first place. Instead he gave these same people a big bag of tricks in which sc--wing over employees became their main play. We stopped being a company that invented technology people wanted to use to being stric [15:33] schestowitz[TR2] tly a financial engineering compan. The culture of innovation that existed before Akers died under the Nabisco bandit; everytime someone had a bright idea, IBM to this day stomps those "fires" out - too risky, might cost money. This has culminated in IBM hiring exclusively in India where you get what you pay for and ki-ling its own patent engine. [15:33] schestowitz[TR2] Most people don't understand that when you apply tourniquet on a gaping wound, you typically have to amputate that limb. Gerstner left IBM a limbless torso unable to compete and relying on federal handouts. Pathetic with no real hope for a better future. [15:33] schestowitz[TR2] Jobs inherited a company in similarly dire shape; instead of relying exclusively on financial engineering, he doubled down on great design and making products people want to use. [15:33] schestowitz[TR2] Apple is a titan today and IBM is all but forgotten, a place where obscure Indian-born researchers are able to unscrupulously drain the lifeblood of the company for their own personal benefit.

    [17:52] schestowitz[TR2]

    The spotlight in this release falls on adopting Python 3.12 as the default interpreter. While the transition took time due to compatibility testing, it marks a significant upgrade for developers and pentesters alike.
