Linux Unified Key Setup - LUKS is a disk encryption specification created by Clemens Fruhwirth in 2004 and was originally intended for Linux. It is a well-known, secure, and high-performance disk encryption method based on an enhanced version of cryptsetup, using dm-crypt as the disk encryption backend. LUKS is also a popular encryption format in Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices.
LUKS can also be used to create and run encrypted containers. Encrypted containers feature the same level of protection as LUKS full-disk encryption. LUKS also offers multiple encryption algorithms, several modes of encryption, and several hash functions - a little over 40 possible combinations.
I Meant To Write This Some Time Ago But Then I Didn’t
The blog has been there before, it’ll be there again, I’m over it.
Let’s talk about the only thing anyone cares about on this blog for the 23.1 release cycle: perf.
What does it mean? Who knows.
How does one acquire it? See above.
But everyone wants it, so I’ve gotta deliver like a hypothetical shipping company that delivers on-time and actually rings the bell when they drop something off instead of just hucking a box onto my front porch and running away to leave my stuff sitting out to get snowed on.
Unlike such a hypothetical shipping company which doesn’t exist, perf does exist, and I’ve got it now. Lots of it.
Let’s talk about what parts of my soul I had to sell to get to this point in my life.

Security should be one of the most important aspects of container deployments, especially for enterprise production environments that depend on highly scaled applications and services that will not only see massive demand but that will also interact with other services, servers, APIs, etc.
If you skimp on security, you could leave your company open to hacking. All it takes is one hacker gaining access to a single container and they could wind up with the keys to your kingdom.
You don’t want that.
The thing is security has to start from the ground up, otherwise, everything is susceptible. Think of it this way: You cannot build a house on a foundation with cracks, holes, and other vulnerabilities and expect it to be secure. Eventually, that house could crumble. Containers are the same way. If you build them on a foundation with vulnerabilities, there’s no way they’ll be secure.
Quite often, it is necessary to know the IP address of your Raspberry Pi. You will need the IP to configure any service related to networking, such as SSH. Also, you need to know the IP when using the Pi as a web server, a file server, or a print server.

Hello from my parents place, sitting on the border of Wales & England, listening to this excellent Victor Rice album, thinking of this time last year when I actually got to watch him play at Freedom Sounds Festival, which was one of my first adventures of the post-lockdown 2020s.
I have many distractions at the moment, many being work/life admin but here are some of the more interesting ones: [...]
Update on what happened across the GNOME project in the week from March 10 to March 17.
Version 5.0 was released on February 26:
https://bkhome.org/news/202302/easyos-kirkstone-series-version-50.html
Version 5.1 brings a couple of small bug fixes, plus Samba now builtin -- in 5.0 it had to be installed via the "pkg" icon (PKGget package manager).
The single biggest change from 5.0 is a new application, "AppImage Installer", which does what the name suggests, it is for installing AppImages.
When the Installer installs an .AppImage file, it creates a folder /files/apps/<name>, for example /files/apps/audacity. This is a convenience, the app can be set to save files in this folder.
However, the Installer creates the folder, for example 'audacity' with owner:group = root:root, which means that Audacity does not have permission to write into that folder. Auadacity is running as user 'audacity', so this is the fix: [...]
There are some snapshots of the AppImage Installer here:
There are changes in the first window, including now shows size of each AppImage.
The final information window contains details that might not interest non-technical users. In fact, I received an email informing me of that fact. That last information window can be simplified.

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
This week, I had the sad duty to discard one snapshot due to a bug that snuck through staging and was only identified later in the full product test suite (systemd 253, restarting some services failed weirdly). But as we know from the past, users prefer no snapshot as opposed to one that breaks their system in weird ways. And despite that, 6 snapshots have been delivered during this week (0309 … 0313 & 0315)
The most relevant changes in these snapshots are:
- Linux kernel 6.2.2 (lockdown patches disabled) & 6.2.4
- NetworkManager 1.42.4
- Apache 2.4.56
- LibreOffice 7.5.1.2
- KDE Frameworks 5.104.0
- GStreamer 1.22.1
- Mesa: patch to address multiple crashes seen in gnome-shell since Mesa 23.0
- git 2.40.0

Hi all,
According to schedule, we have frozen bookworm a bit more (2023-03-12). This means that we are one step closer to the release of bookworm. Like mentioned before we expect everyone to follow the freeze policy [1]. This means that from now on key packages [2] and packages without significant autopkgtest coverage need to be unblocked by the release team to be able to migrate from unstable to testing. If you need to request an unblock, check that your request is in line with the freeze policy and use $(reportbug release.debian.org) in order to get the meta data correct and get the template that helps us get the right information.
Note that packages that are not on the key-packages list, with non-superficial autopkgtests that succeed on all architectures and don't cause regressions will migrate without an unblock after 20 days. If you're unsure about the current migration status of your package, you can check it at [3].
Now is a good time to help testing installations [4] and upgrades to find as many issues as possible. There's still a bunch of RC bugs [5], so fixing those helps a lot too.
Please also remember to file bugs against the release-notes pseudo package if you know of issues that deserve being mentioned in the release notes. We welcome reports that include a proposed text or merge requests on salsa [6], but even if you can only point us at issues that's already appreciated.
On behalf of the Release Team, Paul
Remember when Ubuntu said it was getting serious about gaming? Well, it hasn't forgotten entirely — it's once again asking gamers to take part in a fresh bout of testing for its Steam snap. Steam is available on Ubuntu through traditional packaging methods but Canonical sees its Steam snap as the real future of the games platform on Ubuntu. That kinda of makes sense: it's a tad easier to cater for the tangle of 32-bit libraries older games require using a sandboxed, separated Snap file system.

The World Health Organization defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
Unfortunately, this definition is far from being a reality in our societies. Instead of embracing the system of health, we live in the system of disease, ruled by a reactive, reductionist and unsustainable model of healthcare. The beautiful noble art and science of medicine is ill. Financial institutions and giant technological corporations are removing the human factor from medicine, transforming people and patients into clients. They are reducing the non-negotiable human right to healthcare to a privilege of a few.
Coming back to the formal definition of health, in the current system of disease very little is taken into account from the social and mental well-being . Today, many people with mental health conditions not only have to deal with the physiopathological aspects of the disorder, but also with the stigma, exclusion and invisibilization from the society.

The Java 8 Stream API is the best choice when it comes to working with collections.
Custom exceptions should be used when you want to handle specific error scenarios in your application that are not covered by the built-in exception classes in Java. When you throw a custom exception, you can provide a more meaningful and specific error message that describes the reason for the exception.
Static variables and methods are shared among all instances of a class and can be accessed without creating an object of that class. While static variables and methods can be useful in certain situations, overusing them can lead to code that is difficult to test, maintain, and extend.
A common bad practice in Java programming is not properly handling exceptions. Java has a robust exception handling mechanism, but not using it properly can lead to unexpected behavior and errors in your program.
Using if statements to solve Java problems is not necessarily a bad idea, as if statements are a fundamental part of the language and are used extensively in programming.
Lambda expressions were introduced in Java 8, and they provide several benefits over traditional anonymous inner classes. Some of the benefits of lambdas in Java include: Overall, the use of lambdas in Java can lead to more concise and readable code, improved code reuse, and improved performance. Here is an example.
Actor Lance Reddick who played steely Baltimore police lieutenant Cedric Daniels in hit TV show "The Wire" has died, his publicist said Friday. He was 60.
Coffee is one of the most important parts of my daily ritual. Historically, I had never really drank coffee regularly; and I had never really had good coffee before. Sure, I've drank coffee from time to time, but I usually had to get it double-double and drown out the bitterness with other flavors. This did make something that was pleasant to drink, but I didn't really get to understand or appreciate the flavor of the coffee in particular.
As a scuba diver who often explores new places, I can say that I have found myself in some dangerous situations, but I always made it back to the surface without facing any negative consequences. Does this mean that I never made any mistakes? Absolutely not: mistakes were made, and lessons were learned.
We can all agree that learning from mistakes is good, but sometimes, when mistakes happen and consequences don’t manifest themselves immediately, we run the risk of not noticing them, not learning from them, repeating them, and over time developing a false sense of confidence, which can drive us to believe that our repeated mistakes are actually good practices.
Why do we ignore mistakes? Because sometimes outcomes are positive even if we make mistakes. “I made it out of water even this time, this means that my dive was executed perfectly.” This is a common way of reasoning, but in reality, things are much more complex than that. There is a difference between correct execution and successful outcome, and the two should not be confused. In fact, everyone should know from experience that goals can be achieved even if the execution was sloppy and full of mistakes. Catastrophic consequences may happen if we fail to see that.
For the last few jobs, I’ve kept a private are.na board of competition. Every time I saw something that looked like it was competing with Observable, or Placemark, or val.town I’d add it to the list. Eventually I’d have a big gallery of screenshots of all the other companies and projects doing something similar to what I was building.
Have you ever looked at a specific moment in your life and realised this is where everything changed? I’ve been thinking about tech inflection points again recently (while trying to distract myself from grim ones like AI), and I keep coming back to the beloved libraries in which I grew up.
When we lived in Melbourne in the early 1990s, our local council library had newspapers on microfiche, which my parents would show me. It seemed impossible for such a tiny slide to contain so much information, though it answered an early question in my head about where these libraries keep all their archives. Doesn’t newspaper degrade, yellow, and fall apart!?
My parents were big into audiobooks, so we’d also be checking out dozens of cassette tapes. Books were out on CDs by the time we moved to Singapore, but aside from being more portable they weren’t actually better. A tape would remember exactly where you left off; CDs required you to remember your last track.

I didn’t get permission to repost what he sent, and it was written in good faith, so I’ll be mostly paraphrasing. In short, is a phrase with two words! And people say I’m too serious around here.
The crux of his email was that he was in college, had a crush on someone in their dorm, and that my comment that love isn’t a transaction was a “splash of cold water [they] needed”. He took exception to my characterisation in a few places, but otherwise agreed that trading favours for feelings wasn’t a tenable strategy.

Two decades after the U.S. invaded Iraq, 61% of Americans do not believe the U.S. made the right decision by invading Iraq, according to a new Axios/Ipsos poll.

Top Republicans, including some of Donald Trump’s potential rivals for the GOP's 2024 presidential nomination, are rushing to his defense after Trump said he's bracing for possible arrest.

The comments came hours after Trump declared in a social media post that he expects to be arrested this coming week in a case that the Manhattan district attorney is investigating over hush money payments made to women who alleged Trump had sexual encounters with them.

I don't support women's rights. I once supported refugees - I cut onions to make lots of soup for refugees. I couldn't get them any of the information they wanted, but at least they had some soup.

I hear far too much of people 'supporting' by simply declaring 'I support'. I sounds an awful lot like saying 'you should ask for that request to be in writing so you won't be [legally] liable for sharing admin passwords with interns, but this isn't legal advice'.

i'm fully aware that this is a weirdly precise setup for a weirdly niche group of folks, but it took me some time to figure out! so i'm sharing it, in case i have to do it again. i watch youtube to chill. various different youtubers. from weird minecraft folks, to techie guys all the way round to vlogs. i've been collecting subscriptions for years, and was happily paying for youtube premium since i watch so much of it, and i hate ads as much as the next guy. recently, youtube has decided to up the fee for premium from a fairly reasonable 15 bucks, to a much less reasonable 24 bucks. that's almost 10 bucks jump! i don't know if that's reflecting over to paying youtubers, but considering how many of them beg for patreon users, members, twitch follows, merch stuff, etc. i'm going to assume no one is getting paid but some big wig at google headquarters.
