In this command line tutorial, I will be discussing 'pushd', 'popd' and 'dirs. These are Bash built-in functions but both Zsh and Fish also have their own versions of these built-ins. Also, Fish has some even nicer built-ins that complement these, including: 'chd', 'dirh', 'prevd' and 'nextd'.
I want to discuss with you guys some thoughts that I have regarding new Linux distros. I think that we, the community, are doing a lot of harm showcasing these new distros in videos or in online publications. Most of these new distros are just not very good...
Wayland is getting better every single day but that can only happen as more developers decide to support the platform, so you'd think that if someone offereed to fix all your Wayland issue and you also think it's bad, you'd be up for accepting that patch
Valve has delivered yet another feature that brings the Steam ecosystem closer together–but is this something I will be using regularly?
At the core of every Linux-based device and operating system is the Linux kernel, which provides a foundational set of integrated capabilities.
On Sunday, Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, released the latest milestone with the Linux 6.2 kernel. A big part of the new Linux kernel is a long list of networking-related updates that will serve as a foundation for the next generation of networking and telco equipment.
Linux-based operating systems are commonly found inside networking equipment for both enterprise and telco use cases, as well as being widely used in the cloud. The Linux kernel itself is a component that fits into a larger Linux operating system, with multiple vendors including IBM‘s Red Hat, SUSE, Canonical and others providing commercially supported distributions.
I am not a proponent of highly customized development environments. During the years, I’ve tried employing various “advanced” tools and tricks in my workflow: zsh, all sorts of terminals, shortcuts, aliases, and so on. Most of them didn’t stick. In most cases, I’m not interested enough to change the ways and habits for something that is supposed to marginally improve my everyday work, doesn’t come by default, and requires extra configuration.
Still, among such tools, there are a few exceptions that seem to strike a balance between complexity and added value, and one of them is byobu.
Are you looking for a Linux operating system optimized for running containers with minimal footprints, fast boot times, and a focus on security and stability?
In this guide, we will review the top lightweight or minimal GNU/Linux distributions to use, either as a base image for creating containers or running containerized workloads in production.

NixOS... Yet another distro that uses a different package manager?
Well, NixOS is one of the advanced Linux distros.
So if I'm writing this, I must have a rock-solid reason, right? Well, there are plenty!
I've been using it for 3 months, and it is so good that I'm considering switching from my all-time favorite Pop!_OS to NixOS.
And in this guide, I will share the key features of NixOS, making it stand out from the stack of Linux distros.
As by our tradition Neptune 7.9 Beta 1 ISO is now available on time for Carneval. You can find the ISO here: https://download.neptuneos.com/dev/
This one comes based upon Debian Testing (Bookworm) with the latest Plasma 5.27 (Beta) aswell as Linux kernel 6.1.8. For the first time we ship Plasma Wayland as session aswell as Flatpak with activated Flathub repository for a vast amount of apps available for Linux.
For a good reason, Fedora is a well-known name among Linux users. As a community-driven distribution, Fedora is known for its cutting-edge technology and commitment to open-source principles. In addition, it has gained a reputation for being a stable, reliable, and versatile operating system suitable for a wide range of uses, from personal computing to enterprise-level applications.
Its user-friendly interface, extensive software repositories, and active community support make it an excellent choice for beginners and experienced Linux users. But, of course, there is always room for improvement, and risiOS is banking on that. First, however, before we go any further, we need to answer an important question.
When we first wrote about the 10-cent CH32V003 RISC-V MCU it was offered in a $7 development board and the closed-source MounRiver Studio IDE had to be used for programming. But things have improved since October 2022, and now, you can buy a CH32V003 board for as little as $1.5 plus shipping, and an open-source GCC toolchain and flasher/downloader are now available.
Let’s have a look at the hardware first with the low-cost nanoCH32V003 development board featuring a 48 MHz CH32V003 RISC-V microcontroller with 2KB SRAM and 16KB flash, a USB Type-C port for power, a reset button, and two rows of headers for the GPIOs.
GL.iNet has tutorials available with instructions to set up their products for the first time, how to set up OpenVPN Client/Server, how to set up WireGuard Client/Server, etc. The company states that this router “runs on open-source OpenWrt 21.02 firmware, supporting more than 5000 ready-made plug-ins for customization. Simply browse, install, and manage packages with our no-code interface within Beryl AX’s Admin Panel.“
In care facilities and hospitals, being able to tell when beds are occupied or free is vital knowledge for the staff, as they can move onto other tasks more quickly with up-to-date information. Adam Milton-Barker’s hospital bed occupancy detection system aims to accomplish this goal by combining embedded machine learning models and connected hardware for gathering real-time data.
Milton-Barker’s first step was to create a new Edge Impulse project and add several samples of himself either getting into bed for an occupied status or standing up to indicate a vacancy by taking continuous measurements from a Nano 33 BLE Sense’s built-in accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer. Once passed through a spectral analysis block, the resulting nine-channel data was used to train a classification model that could accurately detect when a person either gets in or out of bed, or for a lack of general activity.

DreamWorks is going to open-source their in-house 'MoonRay' renderer very soon; it has been the driving force behind their movies since 'How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.'
The renderer was also used for making the latest Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022)
Plans for making MoonRay's code open were announced last year in August, with a planned release date sometime later in 2022. But we hadn't heard anything substantial from their side since.
Until now.
Version 13.1 of the GNU GDB debugger has been released. Changes include support for the LoongArch and CSKY architectures, a number of Python API improvements, support for zstd-compressed debug sections, and more.
And, frankly, I don’t want to live in a society where pouring countless billions into a platform gives you automatic rule over people’s interactions, solely because no one else spent as much and you had the first mover / network effect advantage.
Of course, this isn’t a complete solution. Open platforms aren’t automatically equitable and user-focused; creating and maintaining them takes considerable resources. Regulators would need to follow up and put appropriate pressure on selected private consumer platforms, which implies they need to be well-resourced too.
Still, even without the help of AI, there are things you can do to become a better programmer and the most important is to avoid some bad practices.
At the risk of sounding like a Jerry Seinfeld bit, what is the deal with night mode? I was in a meeting today where somebody touted night mode in a tool as a Really Good Thing and I’m perplexed.
I’m not perplexed about what night mode (or dark mode) is. I might be a bit dense, but not quite that dense.
I’ve experimented with tons of themes, etc., over the years on Linux desktop environments. Mostly I tend to drift back to light themes because the dark ones feel a bit oppressive.
What perplexes me is that the mode is so popular it rates product announcements and has so many zealous proponents. What am I missing?
A flying instructor died inflight after suffering a cardiac arrest, but his co-pilot thought he was fooling around and only realized after landing on the runway with the man slumped on his shoulder.
The lawyers pressed 11 charges against the officials, including "causing death by gross negligence," "preventing communication" and "collusive tendering."
When being truly honest with herself, Seun Adebagbo says, she can describe what drove her to go to medical school in a single word: self-preservation.
“Do something” is not science, and it shouldn’t have been public policy.
The Environmental Protection Agency ordered Norfolk Southern on Tuesday to clean up the contamination from the derailment of one of its trains carrying hazardous materials in East Palestine, Ohio, earlier this month.
Why it matters: The railway operator has been cleaning up the crash site voluntarily, but the EPA's order will require the company to do so under a plan approved by the agency.
What makes you happy? Maybe it’s getting up early to see the sunrise, hanging out with family and friends on a weekend, or going for a dip in the sea. But what does science say about the things happy people do?
We know that happy people tend to have strong relationships, good physical health and contribute regularly to their communities.
I have experimented over the past seven years with a number of happiness and wellbeing interventions in a bid to improve my own mental health and to understand how to best help others. Some strategies have stuck while others haven’t worked for me. But here’s what I’ve learnt along the way.
The reality is that there’ll be times we manage to engage with happiness habits and feel positive. Then there’ll be occasions when life throws a curve ball and our happiness is affected. But the good news is that we can all improve our levels of happiness with daily practice.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to hear a bid by the operator of the popular Wikipedia internet encyclopedia to resurrect its lawsuit against the National Security Agency challenging mass online surveillance.
Turning away the Wikimedia Foundation's appeal, the justices left in place a lower court's dismissal of the lawsuit based on the government's assertion of what is called the state secrets privilege, a legal doctrine that can shut down litigation if disclosure of certain information would damage U.S. national security.
Represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, Wikimedia Foundation sued in 2015 challenging the legality of the NSA's "Upstream" surveillance of foreign targets through the "suspicionless" collection and searching of internet traffic on data transmission lines flowing into and out of the United States.

The European Parliament’s inquiry committee on Pegasus and other similar spyware (PEGA) is working on a set of recommendations for the regulation of the use of intrusive spyware by EU Member States. It is still unclear whether the Committee will dare to set vitally needed red lines and call for a sufficiently protective European Union-wide framework against spyware in its non-binding report. EDRi submitted amendments to strengthen the demands for the protection of affected people and democratic values.
The last time President Joe Biden spoke from the courtyard of the Royal Castle in Poland, the content of his 27-minute speech was mostly obscured by what he ad-libbed about Russian President Vladimir Putin at the end.
Retired US Air Force Col. Cedric Leighton weighs in on President Vladimir Putin's declaration that he is suspending Russia's participation in the New START nuclear arms reduction treaty.
● China's top diplomat visits Moscow
Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the Russian private military company Wagner, acknowledged a "major problem" with ammunition supplies for his troops, amid a public spat with the leaders of Russia's defense establishment.
Mutual inspections were interrupted by the pandemic, then by the war in Ukraine. But now New START, the last nuclear agreement between Russia and the United States, is dying, and arms control may be, too.
In sharply opposed speeches, President Biden said Vladimir V. Putin bore sole responsibility for the war, while Mr. Putin said Russia had invaded in self-defense. But they agreed the war would not end soon.
Caustic accusations by the head of the Wagner mercenary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, suggest that his vaunted access to Vladimir Putin may be on the wane.
Russian forces are shelling border areas there to tie up thousands of Ukrainian troops that might otherwise defend against attacks farther south.

ADF STAFF Sub-Saharan Africa is the world’s new epicenter for violent extremism, and most people who join extremist organizations said they were motivated by a lack of work, according to a new report by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
Members of the US foreign policy establishment are wrong to prioritize a "China First" perspective at a time when Putin's Russia is waging a major war of aggression in Ukraine, writes Richard D. Hooker, Jr.
Ukraine's international partners are gradually providing the country with the weapons it needs to beat Russia, but excessive caution and continued delays could still allow Vladimir Putin to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
U-M will continue to lead regional efforts aimed at transitioning the nation to connected and automated vehicles — bolstered by a new $15 million, five-year grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Antarctic sea ice has reached record low levels for the second time in two years, with some scientists alarmed that dramatic drops are a signal the climate crisis may now be more clearly influencing this vast, complex and isolated region.
Weeks of dry winter weather have raised concerns that Italy could face another drought after last summer's emergency, with the Alps having received less than half of their normal snowfall, according to scientists and environmental groups.
The U.S. is currently plastered with severe weather advisories, from blizzard warnings in Minnesota and Wyoming to high wind alerts across the West and Plains.
The big picture: The extreme weather on tap for the U.S. this week will feature record-breaking cold in the West along with heavy snow, facing off against record heat in the East.
Oil and gas companies have seen skyrocketing growth as the energy crisis triggered by Russia's war in Ukraine has challenged people's quality of life, financial stability, and overall well-being.
The market for NFTs has gotten smaller. But it hasn't died.
Why it matters: Despite the societal and media urge to eulogize the fall of any once-big thing, more than $480 million worth of NFTs exchanged hands in the past 30 days. Perhaps more importantly, the market is changing in a fundamental way.

Responding to the six-month trial of a four-day week [1] which involved 61 companies almost 3000 workers, Green Party co-leader Adrian Ramsay said:
“A four-day week works. This trial has shown it reduces stress, lowers levels of burnout, and prevents employees quitting.
“And while employees have had an extra day a week to do what they want or need to do, all without any loss to their pay, the companies involved report no decline in company revenue. What’s not to like about a four-day week?
The labor market in the western German town of Bonn seems broken these days. Not for workers, mind you €— employers, instead, are desperately looking for staff. Many cafes in the town center feature a notice reading "employees wanted."
Even a local shoemaker complains that his children don't want to take over his business, as they prefer to study at university. It's hopeless even to find an apprentice, he told DW.
The same goes for the blacksmith at the equestrian center nearby, who is also desperate because the apprentice he trained for several years didn't want to stay on. Finding an adequate replacement is next to impossible in the current economic situation. One of his neighbors who works for a large corporation, the shoemaker went on, is also on the lookout for staff — but even larger companies aren't able to find the IT specialists they need.
In a recent labor market report, the Economy Ministry said Germany's shortage of skilled workers is "acutely affecting" many companies' potential to grow.
After a long day of downhill skiing, a mug of hot chocolate fits the bill. Or does it fill the bill? Someone has to foot the bill for the not-inexpensive adventure; if it turns out that only one ski lift was open instead of the 10 promised, that person might complain that they were sold a bill of goods. English has lots of bill idioms, but the bills involved are not the same.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy committed an "egregious security breach" by giving access to Jan. 6 footage to Fox News.
Since 2020, Beijing has increasingly used trade restrictions and threats to defend its geopolitical interests around the globe, making economic coercion an "established and favoured part" of China's foreign policy, according to a new report.
Why it matters: China's economic coercion suppresses global speech critical of Beijing and makes it harder for countries to uphold the liberal international system of open trade, rule of law and human rights.

The Committee to Protect Journalists joined a delegation in Slovakia on Tuesday marking the fifth anniversary of the murder of Slovak investigative journalist, Ján Kuciak.
The organizations renewed calls for full justice for Kuciak and his fiancée, Martina Kušnírová who were both killed five years ago today, on 21 February 2018, and called on the authorities to redouble efforts to improve press freedom.
A United Nations body committed to preventing torture has terminated its review of Australian places of detention after authorities in some states refused to let them in -- joining Rwanda as the only other country where a visit has been terminated.
Companies can no longer offer severance agreements that prevent employees from making disparaging remarks about their former employer, the National Labor Relations Board ruled Tuesday.
Nine justices set out Tuesday to determine what the future of the internet would look like if the Supreme Court were to narrow the scope of a law that some believe created the age of modern social media.
The case, concerning a law that gives websites immunity for suits based on their users’ posts, has the potential to alter the very structure of the internet.
Networks connected to the Internet rely on other networks - a.k.a, Autonomous Systems, or ASes - to transmit data. Consequently, the connectivity of a network depends on the connectivity of other networks. AS Hegemony is a metric to evaluate these interdependencies based on BGP data collected from public large-scale measurement platforms (RIPE RIS and Route Views).
For example, the dependencies of AS2497 (IIJ Internet Initiative Japan Inc., JP) and the networks dependent on AS2497 for 3 February 2023 can be seen in the following figure.
A few weeks ago, the top arm coverings of my office chair basically crumbled and fell off.
[Picture of a chair with arms, but the arms are missing a cover.] Black always makes things slimmer. Only in this case, it is slimmer without the rubber covering. [1]Ã⦠The old coverings were some combination of rubber and plastic and I guess over time, they just became brittle or dried out, and fell apart. This exposed the underlying hard plastic frame underneath. It wouldn't be that bad actually, except for all the square holes, used to both lessen the amount of hard plastic required, and to give the old covers something to grip onto.

I've recently been getting back into IRC and found a pretty neat project in the process.
I first checked out IRC not long ago and one reason it stood out was its simplicity. Well, at the protocol level at least. Some of the clients I tried were slightly confusing and took some time to configure and get used to. But I liked the idea that when you weren't online, you were well and truly disconnected. Push notifications have their place, but they sort of make it too easy to be always available which I don't think is that healthy.
The main problem with IRC I felt at the time was that when you reconnect, most of the time you have no context for what's been going on in the channel while you were away. I learned about bouncers, which are a sort of middleman you can set up between you and the server which keeps your session alive while you're disconnected, but wasn't really interested in getting one set up.
