It comes as no surprise that the Windows OS and the Microsoft environment are some of the most common infrastructures to be found within a business. For the most part, people go for Windows simply due to the overall convenience and the fact that many other industries have Windows as their go-to OS.
That said, did you know that there are advantages to utilizing another operating system for your company? An OS such as Linux can prove to be a fantastic addition, but you’ll have to take the time to figure out the ins and outs of the system. Here’s how you can develop a reliable startup utilizing the Linux OS.
Bodhi Linux has always held a soft spot in my heart. Not only is it a beautiful, user-friendly operating system, it reminds me of my earlier days with Linux. That is mostly because the default "Moshka" desktop is based on one of my all-time favorites, the Enlightenment window manager.
Kubuntu has released the second generation of its flagship laptop, the Kubuntu Focus XE.

Linus has released 6.3-rc4 for testing. ""Things are looking pretty normal for this time of the release process.""
In essence, Machine Learning is the practice of using algorithms to parse data, learn insights from that data, and then make a determination or prediction. The machine is ‘trained’ using huge amounts of data.
In other words, Machine Learning is about building programs with tunable parameters (typically an array of floating point values) that are adjusted automatically so as to improve their behavior by adapting to previously seen data.
Machine learning architectures have arisen in recent years that include JPEG-style artifact mitigation as part of AI-driven upscaling/restoring routines.

This release comes with several new features and improvements, making it an exciting release for Debian enthusiasts. In this article, we will discuss the best new features of Debian 12 Bookworm and how they can benefit users.
Here are all the details.
The community of developers who have been keeping the dream of Ubuntu phones and tablets alive since Canonical abandoned the project have announced that the first stable build of Ubuntu Touch based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS “Focal Fossa” is here.
To everyone’s surprise and while we were waiting for the Ubuntu Touch OTA-25 update, UBports pushed today a new stable update based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, entitled Ubuntu Touch OTA-1 Focal. This is the culmination of more than a year of hard work porting Ubuntu Touch from Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
The Focal Fossa Ubuntu Touch OTA-1 update is currently only available for Fairphone 4, Google Pixel 3a, Vollaphone 22, Vollaphone X, and Vollaphone devices. UBports also mentioned the fact that this release supports Android phones running Android 9 or later.
It's only been three months since 2023 began and Ubuntu has already released its short-term release, Ubuntu 23.04 “Lunar Lobster”. Even though it comes with only nine months of support (until January 2024), it’s excited people with its slew of upcoming features.
If you are an avid Ubuntu fan and don’t want to wait to get your hands on the final release, you can take a sneak peek into the beta version and get going with the latest features on display.
Here’s what you can expect with April's release of Ubuntu Lunar Lobster 23.04.

How does the OS know when a headset is plugged in? This is a physical jack, so there must be a physical change that is detectable.
Some jacks have normally-closed sense pins that open when you insert a plug. These might be readable as a simple digital I/O – high or low. If you’ve ever wired gadgets onto the GPIO pins of a Raspberry Pi, it’s something like that.
The Librem 14, though, has a normally open sense pin. The plug tip shorts two pins together. The jack’s datasheet has a diagram worth a thousand words...
In a pretty long article published on March 24th at “TheNextWeb”, /e/OS was lucky enough to be highlighted as a proof of “why a a European mobile operating system can’t challenge Android and iOS”.
So “two OS is enough”. But why not “one OS is enough” in that case?
For apps developers, having to deal with both iOS+Android is real pain. They would really prefer one OS.
But there is a solution for this: use the technologies of the web to build mobile apps. That’s called “PWA”, “miniApps”… Standard technologies, not owned by X or Y. When you reach that point, then you can have 1,2,3… 5, 100 different OS. You don’t care: all apps will work. That would be possible, and we think it’s what’s going to happen.
Highlights of the GnuCash 5.0 release include a new Stock Transaction Assistant that can be accessed from the Actions menu. This feature will guide you through entering most investment transactions for bonds, mutual funds, and stocks.
This release also introduces an Investment Lots report that displays a graph of capital gains and losses in a period by investment lot. This feature works only when you use the View Lots dialog to manage capital gains and losses and can be accessed from the Reports > Assets & Liabilities menu.
Version 5.0 of the GnuCash accounting tool is out. Changes include a number of investment-tracking improvements, better completion in the register window, a reworked report-generation system, and more.
In every C/C++ source code file, we use header files to put declarations of functions, data types, class, macro and other relevant things inside it. These files have the extension of .h (for C) and .hxx (for C++).
We have different header types: internal and global includes. Some of the header files are used in many places. For example, in LibreOffice we have several modules, and some modules are used in many places. Here, we focus on the VCL module. For the global includes, they are placed inside include/ folder, and for internal headers of VCL module, the include files are put inside include/vcl/.
The Linux Foundation (LF), one of the primary driving forces behind the continuing growth of open-source technology, is turning its attention to developing a better metaverse and creating a living digital record of the physical world.
In December, LF announced the Open Metaverse Foundation (OMF) with a mission to provide a collaboration space for diverse industries to work on developing open-source software and standards for an inclusive, global, vendor-neutral, and scalable metaverse.
Security updates have been issued by Debian (libreoffice and xen), Fedora (chromium, curl, and xen), Red Hat (kernel, kernel-rt, kpatch-patch, and thunderbird), Scientific Linux (thunderbird), Slackware (tar), SUSE (apache2, ceph, curl, dpdk, helm, libgit2, and php7), and Ubuntu (firefox and thunderbird).
Millions of Australian and New Zealand customers have had their records stolen in the attack on Latitude Financial announced a fortnight ago.
The data includes up to 7.9 million drivers licence numbers and 53,000 passport numbers.
The attack is the largest-known data breach on a financial institution in Australia.
Here's what we know about the Latitude hack so far.
Crown Resorts said on Monday a ransomware group had contacted the company, claiming that they had gained access to some files related to Australia's biggest casino operator following a data breach at a file transfer service GoAnywhere.
"We were recently contacted by a ransomware group who claimed they have illegally obtained a limited number of Crown files," a spokesperson of the formerly listed firm said in a statement.
In response to the growing public attention given to ChatGPT, the Europol Innovation Lab organised a number of workshops with subject matter experts from across Europol to explore how criminals can abuse large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, as well as how it may assist investigators in their daily work.
In a March 11 post about non-U.S. hospitals that had been victims of cyberattacks, DataBreaches had noted a report about CHU-BREST. Valéry Rieß-Marchive of LeMagIT has an update and more details on the incident.
On March 15, DataBreaches was contacted by a researcher who had found a “bunch of medical docs.” The files included patient intake evaluations, laboratory results, medical records requests, insurance information forms, treatment or consultation notes, and other files you would expect to see in a patient’s records. The patients all appeared to be in Texas, and there were almost 683,000 files.
When the researcher couldn’t determine who owned the data, they requested DataBreaches’ help. The researcher’s confusion was understandable. There appeared to be scanned documents from numerous doctors and medical groups, although certain names cropped up more than others. Most of the files were scanned pdf files and many were more than a decade old. The most recent files appeared to be dated in 2018 or so.
According to the filing, the law firm’s server was vulnerable to attack in November 2021 because they had not patched a vulnerability reported by Microsoft months earlier in April and May. A patch had been made available by Microsoft at around the the time as the vulnerability report.
We started playing Yahtzee as a way of playing games and passing the time with my in-laws over Zoom, back in the early days of the pandemic. It became a weekly thing: every Sunday, two games of Yahtzee, rolling the dice for around 45 minutes total, circling the wins on our scorecards.
The last year in general, and the last couple of months generally, have been bad from a mental health perspective. I've taken some real, tangible steps to healing from what went on when I was younger. I'm seeing a therapist; I need to schedule our next appointment. But it's been helping.
I think there will be some changes to Halberds and Helmets, based on discussions on the Internet Office Hours podcast.
It feels somewhat pointless to just create things knowing there will never be an audience to see it.

Similarly, I've tried writing on my own a number of times before I found Gemini. I'd find an old notebook for school and start writing about my day or whats on my mind, but very quickly would burn out. I tried having a digital journal for 2014 as well as later in 2022, but each one never got more than a couple entries before I lost interest. It wasn't until I found Gemini, where I could post my writings, that I was able to stick to it for more than a week. The year anniversary for me starting this is coming around the corner and It's hard to believe it's been that long. Writing for my glog has been a great escape for me, much more rewarding than any video game ever was. Sure I'll still occasionally write something, knowing full well I won't publish it, just to get it off my chest, but still the desire to have an audience still fuels part of this passion. Even if it's someone just skimming through it and not finding much interest, the very fact I've created something that can be viewed by another being just brings me a sort of closure. It scratches that creative itch.
Hi Gemini! A short text to talk about what is happening in the streets of Paris and elsewhere, as I'm spending most of my time and energy out there. If you saw trash on fire, I'm going to talk mostly about that. I won't talk about what the reform is about; essentially, people's anger is focused on the change of the legal age for retirement, pushed from 62 to 64 years, which a good two thirds of the population rejects, including a significant part demanding the legal age to be 60 again.
After my first encounter with systemd (which I honestly cannot remember the details of) I started reading about it, found myself quite convinced by the arguments against it, and kind of joined the "systemd is evil" camp and eventually moved to a systemd-free distro.
I am confronted with office work that I don't want to do but needs to get done. I had to trick myself into doing it by getting out of the house with my office work with the reward of coffee and pastry. I had to put that down just to bring me to the here and now.
I have created a random URL script to jump to any url in the gemini space, since I way playing around with PHP on my gemini server I thought what would be interesting small projects, so I did this.
