There’s the cable network, the phone network, the Internet… then there’s DNS, the Web, P2P and so on. Policing people on the Internet isn’t easy. Creative types can also shift between modalities to express themselves so long as the general population is connected by digital and analogue means. When the state fails to provide any, technical types can compensate with radio and transmission equipment, even modified wireless routers that make up a mesh. About half a decade ago it was shown, based on hard evidence, that the overzealous and oversensitive (incapable of introspection) US officials deemed Wikileaks — and Julian Assange in particular — a “sophisticated” target from a technical and legal standpoint. It was a precarious situation. At the time, Wikileaks had already gotten some very powerful lawyers and journalists on its side. Even politicians were willing to help. So any attempts to silence Wikileaks were risky and in_2017_the_CIA_plotted_to_just_torture_and assassinate_Assange, based on leaked material (the CIA did not even deny this, it just got angry about this information coming out to the press). “…any attempts to silence Wikileaks were risky and in 2017 the CIA plotted to just torture and assassinate Assange, based on leaked material…”We’re by no means comparing one Melbourne student (Assange) to another (Pocock), but it’s interesting to see how WIPO (also headed by a Melbourne graduate, Gurry, for many years in fact) after repeated failed attempts to silence Pocock. The video above explains why this is relevant to us. Along the way or between the lines it also mentions software patents in relation to Tillis (still trying and failing, fronting for patent and copyright maximalists) and the potential of a copyright troll connected to EPO management having a go at SLAPP over our EPO reporting. It's_just_that_based_on_the_track_record_of_EPO_censorship,_it cannot_be_ruled_out_completely. We’re currently trying to get the EFF involved; as a supposed (maybe former) champion of free speech, it has more than one reason (patents too) to speak out on these issues. This has a lot to do with European_software_patents, based on_recently-leaked_documents. The conclusion of the matter is, if you’re going to try to silence and/or discredit someone online, be sure to foresee what happens next. Resourceful and determined people typically find a way to regain their voice no matter what. Debian chose_an_utterly_poor_approach — so tasteless that it_ruins_the_brand more_than_any_Web_site_possibly_could. Will Devuan pick up the mantle? Maybe [1, 2, 3]. █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 192 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2022/08/23/irc-log-220822/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2022/08/23/irc-log-220822/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 08.23.22⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ IRC_Proceedings:_Monday,_August_22,_2022⠀✐ Posted in IRC_Logs at 2:01 am by Needs Sunlight Also available via the Gemini protocol at: * gemini://gemini.techrights.org/irc-gmi/irc-log-techrights-220822.gmi * gemini://gemini.techrights.org/irc-gmi/irc-log-220822.gmi * gemini://gemini.techrights.org/irc-gmi/irc-log-social-220822.gmi * gemini://gemini.techrights.org/irc-gmi/irc-log-techbytes-220822.gmi Over HTTP: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇H 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇HTML5_logs⦈_ #techrights_log_as_HTML5 #boycottnovell_log_as_HTML5 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇H 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇HTML5_logs⦈_ #boycottnovell-social_log_as_HTML5 #techbytes_log_as_HTML5 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇t 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇text_logs⦈_ #techrights_log_as_text #boycottnovell_log_as_text 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇t 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇text_logs⦈_ #boycottnovell-social_log_as_text #techbytes_log_as_text Enter_the_IRC_channels_now =============================================================================== § IPFS Mirrors⠀➾ CID Description Object type IRC log for  QmX7vYLetbsoKX8wJN1uaZGQ38c1JrU1QMho5aEUWnYdkR #boycottnovell 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇HTML5 logs⦈ (full IRC log as HTML) IRC log for #boycottnovell  QmPzYv5MnRkFVEeTqt6u9BFPB3YiJbmDvy8PRedYMYho7v (full IRC log 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇text logs⦈ as plain/ASCII text) IRC log for #boycottnovell-  Qmf5T18HtbCpuTfEqiFwA2XrDrkzSE9gtrMnw6ogv8nZq8 social 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇HTML5 logs⦈ (full IRC log as HTML) IRC log for #boycottnovell-  QmUrVusuncMRfhF881ftTCqGXsMqejMGdjiLKNhE1UePDv social 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇text logs⦈ (full IRC log as plain/ASCII text) IRC log for  QmNeMQT2i96sesPXmvdjp2yocA8pn1ST3L71CgpGSh82nK #techbytes 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇HTML5 logs⦈ (full IRC log as HTML) IRC log for #techbytes  QmdLeQN22B3ftDtruSSikaKrGmVEqoyuPS1kizXFD38qg1 (full IRC log 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇text logs⦈ as plain/ASCII text) IRC log for  QmXNaVFH19gqKu5afrc4vhFPTpWPnVDkmnDLWfHbwiBwon #techrights 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇HTML5 logs⦈ (full IRC log as HTML) IRC log for #techrights  QmWsGxo9MquhFH2drNEBgftbmJ21SQD6fc7WuC44LPCcbR (full IRC log 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇text logs⦈ as plain/ASCII text) 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇IPFS logo⦈ § Bulletin for Yesterday⠀➾ Local_copy | CID (IPFS): QmbvCLhKBwB76DsbrKx6Pq16KSvtb9sW8UKVXj9v1pDgCv ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 319 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2022/08/23/jim-admires-bill/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2022/08/23/jim-admires-bill/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 08.23.22⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Sheela_Microsoft_(Zemlin)_Does_Not_Like_Linux_and_Jim_Zemlin_Idolises_Bill Gates⠀✐ Posted in Bill_Gates, Microsoft at 11:54 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz The key part (on GNU/Linux turning 38 last_year): http://techrights.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/sheela-jim-zemlin-story.mp4 Summary: The Linux_Foundation is run by the spouse of a money-hungry Microsofter, who is himself not using (hence rejecting) Linux.

StarBook models with Alder Lake-P and AMD Ryzen 5000U processors, even though the previous version was launched at the beginning of this year. For the new StarBook Mk VI laptops, Star Labs is replacing the 11th gen Intel Core-U processors with the 28 W Alder Lake Core i3-1220P with UHD Graphics G4 iGPU and Core i7-1260P with Iris Xe 96 EU iGPU. AMD fans have not been forgotten, as the laptops now feature a Ryzen 7 5800U APU option with Vega 8 iGPU and 25 W TDP. # ⚓ TUXEDO_InfinityBook_Pro_14_Gen7_Full_Specifications [Ed: Mr. copycat seems to be at it]⠀⇛ # ⚓ Lightweight_Linux_laptop_crams_a_99_Wh_battery_inside_|_Ars Technica⠀⇛ Ultralight laptops are great for slipping into a bag and traveling with, and they look pretty stylish. However, a trim build often comes with trade-offs. Battery capacity is a common one, as companies struggle to fit larger batteries into machines that are under an inch thick. German PC- maker Tuxedo Computers’ latest ultralight InfinityBook Pro 14 seeks to address that challenge with a massive battery. The InfinityBook Pro 14 – Gen7 announced today comes with either big storage or a big battery. The company is selling it with the option for a 99 watt-hour (Wh) battery, which is about as big as a lithium battery can be while being allowed on an airplane (100 Wh). # ⚓ LinuxInsider ☛ How_Not_To_Do_CX,_Lenovo_Style_[Opinion]⠀⇛ Sometimes the world of smart technology innovations collides with the planet of dumb customer service provisions. That collision usually does not bode well for the customer. In my case, that scenario is particularly true. I bought Lenovo’s Chromebook Duet 5 for an attractive price from a major national electronics store. In hindsight, that was a purchase I wish I could undo. The Duet 5 is regarded in numerous reliable reviews as the best overall ChromeOS tablet/detachable computer available this year. Its larger screen and detachable full-size keyboard make a usable and fun tablet experience not available with pure Android devices. For me, that accolade falls far short of reaching that mark. In fact, if your primary need for a Chromebook is to run Linux apps, think again about not buying Lenovo’s Duet 5. You might get a unit like mine that does not do Linux even though it is supposed to work. That failure is not considered a valid claim under Lenovo’s warranty. I have become quite fond of Chromebooks. ChromeOS devices supplement my home office cadre of Linux computers. They link to my Android phone and its apps. I can run the same productivity apps and access their data directly on the Chromebook. What fed my attraction to the Duet 5 is its logical follow-up to the very popular 10.1″ original Duet I bought a few years ago. The Duet line has a detachable keyboard and is a stand-alone ChromeOS tablet. Putting want versus need aside, I debated the prospect of more productivity and convenience with a bigger screen at 400 nits, larger keyboard, and 8GB of RAM. I knew the manufacturer and the retail store as well as the product line. Or so I thought. What could go wrong? Three things: a failed product, no support, and a warranty that also did not work! # ⚓ Evoluso_offers_operations_system_installation_services_at_a very_reasonable_rate [Ed: This is full of falsehoods actually]⠀⇛ o § Server⠀➾ # ⚓ TDengine_Brings_Open_Source_Time-Series_Database_to Kubernetes⠀⇛ TDengine today made available an update to its namesake open source time-series database so that it can now run on Kubernetes clusters. TDengine CEO Jeff Tao says TDengine 3.0 is differentiated from other time-series databases in that it includes caching and streaming processing capabilities along with support for SQL and an ability to subscribe to data in a way that simplifies operations. TDengine is also integrated with a range of analytics and observability tools including Grafana, Google Data Studio and Prometheus, Tao says. Features such as super tables, storage and compute separation, data partitioning by time interval and pre-computation make it easy to access data in a highly efficient manner, says Tao. o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ Video ☛ How_to_install_ONLYOFFICE_on_Pop!_OS_22.04_– Invidious⠀⇛ In this video, we are looking at how to install ONLYOFFICE on Pop!_OS 22.04. # ⚓ Video ☛ How_to_install_SparkyLinux_“LXQt”_6.4_–_Invidious⠀⇛ In this video, I am going to show how to install SparkyLinux “LXQt” 6.4. # ⚓ Video ☛ BYE_DUCK_DUCK_GO,_here’s_my_new_search_engine!

Fish has a lot of modern features that make it a superior interactive shell than more traditional shells like Bash. In this video, I will discuss a few of the “builtin” commands for Fish as well as some of the unique Fish keybindings. # ⚓ Video ☛ This_Project_Was_“Illegally”_Packaged_On_14_Linux Distros_–_Invidious⠀⇛ Please just read the licence, I don’t know how many times this needs to be said but it comes being relevant. Today we have an issue with a Go module that nobody clued into for 3 years until finally being discovered o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ MakeTech Easier ☛ SELinux_vs_AppArmor:_Which_One_Should_You Use?_–_Make_Tech_Easier⠀⇛ SELinux (short for Security Enhanced Linux) is a Linux kernel security module that is used to increase security in Linux distributions by hardening access to files and processes. Another similar Linux kernel security module that is used for this purpose is AppArmor. There is a lot of interest in these two modules because of their overlapping roles in access control for Linux operating systems. As such, this article covers the differences between SELinux and AppArmor. Users can then determine which of these modules is best for their needs through a comparison of features and ease of use. [...] Securing servers with SELinux does away with dependency on DAC style access based on actual system users and roles. Instead, it introduces a three-string context system for each process or system user. The three strings, namely username, role, and domain, allow for more flexibility and control over system access. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ H2S Media ☛ How_to_Install_RabbitMQ_Server_on_Ubuntu_20.04 LTS_–_Linux_Shout⠀⇛ Tutorial to learn the steps and commands to install the RabbitMQ Server on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal Fossa Linux to create your own, message broker. RabbitMQ is a freely available message broker software under Mozilla Public License. It is an implementation of the Advanced Messaging Queue Protocol (AMQP) and manages the exchange of messages between sender and receiver as an intermediary service. The software is written in the programming language Erlang and is available for all common operating systems. It supports all major operating systems such as Windows, macOS, and Linux. # ⚓ nixCraft ☛ How_to_run_ls_command_case_insensitive_mode_on Linux/Unix⠀⇛ Sometimes you need to use the ls command on your Linux or Unix machine and match the pattern, interpreting upper- and lowercase letters as the same. In other words, I tell ls to find and list files regardless of their case insensitive. For instance, I am going to tell ls command command to ignore the case so that it can match files such as: ls *service*.pdf SERVICE.pdf DELL-Service-M6700.pdf hp-printer-Service-Manual.pdf In this quick tip, I explain how to match case insensitive patterns with the ls command on your Linux, macOS, *BSD and Unix-like system. # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ Running_a_Cron_Job_at_2:00_AM_Daily_–_TecAdmin⠀⇛ Cron jobs (or cron jobs) are schedules that tell the computer to run a program or execute a command automatically at a specified time. This is called a cron job, a daemon that runs in the background and performs tasks on a schedule. Cron is a process that runs in the background and periodically executes programs or tasks. By design, cron is extremely flexible, allowing users to run tasks as often as once a minute or as infrequently as once every 99 weeks. Cron jobs are a common way to automate daily tasks, like sending out marketing emails, running reports, or backing up files. # ⚓ How_to_perform_CRUD_operations_in_Django_–_NextGenTips⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will learn how to operate CRUD functionalities in Django. CRUD functionalities are Create, Read, Update and Delete. These are the main building blocks of any project. At some point you need to perform read operations from the database, you want to do an update or you wish to delete an item from the database. All these are possible thanks to CRUD operations. In this tutorial, we are building on top of these lectures on How to set up a Python Django Application using Django 4.0 and How to create Django Templates. So make sure to check out first. If you want to follow along make sure you have the project setup complete, the templates are working fine, the database is up and running and lastly have some data on the database. # ⚓ HowTo Forge ☛ How_to_Install_Gitea_on_Ubuntu_22.04⠀⇛ Gitea is a free, open-source, and self-hosted Git service. It is written in GO language and provides an easier way to host your own version control system on the internet. It is simple, lightweight, and can be installed on low-powered systems. It is very similar to GitHub and GitLab and offers a rich set of features such as a repository file editor, project issue tracking, user management, notifications, a built-in wiki, and much more. It is cross-platform and can be installed on all major operating systems, including Linux, macOS, Windows, ARM, and PowerPC architectures. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install the Gitea Git service with Nginx and Let’s Encrypt SSL on Ubuntu 22.04. # ⚓ HowTo Forge ☛ How_to_Install_FileRun_on_Ubuntu_22.04⠀⇛ FileRun is an open-source and web-based file- sharing application for Linux based operating system. It is very similar to Google Drive, iCloud, and DrobBox and allows users to share and sync files over the internet. It can be accessed via mobile app, WebDAV, and web browser. It allows you to host your own file sharing solution on the cloud and access all your files anywhere via secure cloud storage. This post will show how to install FileRun with Apache and Let’s Encrypt SSL on Ubuntu 22.04. # ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ Enable_Thumbnails_for_EPub_/_MOBI_Files in_Ubuntu_22.04_|_20.04_&_Other_Linux_|_UbuntuHandbook⠀⇛ Got some ePub and/or MOBI books in your PC? Debian / Ubuntu has recently includes a package in their repository for generating thumbnails for these files. As you may know, Linux Mint 21 was released recently with a thumbnail generators for AppImage, ePub, MP3 and RAW files. Debian/Ubuntu now has similar tool called gnome-epub-thumbnailer, though it’s only for ePub and MOBI books. With the package installed, the default file manager will no longer display the universal “e” image with green background for all ePub files. Instead, it shows thumbnail book covers. # ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Anaconda_on_Ubuntu_22.04_LTS_– idroot⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Anaconda on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. For those of you who didn’t know, Anaconda is a free and open-source distribution of Python and R programming languages used to perform scientific computations and process large amounts of data. It provides everything you need to solve data processing and analysis problems (with Python applicability). This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the Anaconda Python on Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish). You can follow the same instructions for Ubuntu 22.04 and any other Debian- based distribution like Linux Mint, Elementary OS, Pop!_OS, and more as well. # ⚓ H2S Media ☛ How_to_install_Erlang_on_Ubuntu_20.04_LTS_Linux –_Linux_Shout⠀⇛ Learn the commands to install Erlang programming language on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal fossa Linux and also an example to create Hello World program. Erlang is an open-source programming language that is nowadays often used for (massively) parallel programming and distributed systems. However, the origins lie in applications in the field of telecommunications, the language was developed for and at Ericsson. Their strength is the parallel processing of program logic, a very efficient and lightweight notification system for interprocess communication as well as pronounced fault tolerance. Furthermore, erlang makes it possible to replace or update modules at the runtime of the program without rebooting, whereby a high availability of the system is achieved. # ⚓ Sort_disk_usage_from_directories⠀⇛ # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ How_to_Review_sudo_Command_Usage_on_Linux⠀⇛ The sudo command gives a user superuser or root powers. No doubt you gave them the “with great power comes great responsibility” speech. Here’s how to check if they listened or not. o § WINE or Emulation⠀➾ # ⚓ Wine_Reviews_:_CodeWeavers_CrossOver_22_for_macOS_Linux_and ChromeOS_has_been_released⠀⇛ Hi folks, I’m thrilled to announce CodeWeavers has released CrossOver 22 for macOS, Linux and ChromeOS! The hallmark of this release is a complete redesign of the CrossOver user interface for macOS, Linux and ChromeOS. These changes were designed with two goals in mind: both to make CrossOver more intuitive to use and to offer a more modern look and feel. We are grateful to our BetterTesters who responded to our survey and participated in our usability studies: your feedback was invaluable! CrossOver 22 includes an update to Wine 7.7, bringing with it over 10,000 changes that offer improvements to a variety of applications. This release also includes an update to Wine Mono 7.2.0 and vkd3d 1.4. On the macOS side, we have been continuing to make gaming performance improvements. Between including the wined3d changes available with Wine 7.7, updating to MoltenVK version 1.1.10 and adding a few other tweaks, we’ve made quite a bit of progress. One particularly exciting example is Rocket League: the performance using wined3d is much better than CrossOver 21.2, and the nameplates are visible in-game (unlike using DXVK). Our initial tests show that CrossOver 22 runs pretty well on the macOS Ventura beta. Please note that we cannot offer official support for Ventura until it is released due to the possibility of changes during beta causing problems for CrossOver support. After Ventura is released, we will post an update on our website, so make sure you are subscribed to our blog to get the latest updates on Ventura compatibility. # ⚓ Announcing_CrossOver_22.0.0⠀⇛ o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ Martha_is_Dead:_Italy_is_Scary._Review_on Linux_(Proton)_–_Boiling_Steam⠀⇛ It’s not every day that we get to play a game made in Italy! It’s true that most of the video games development is typically the business of further North in Europe (France, the UK, Germany, and Poland all have a huge industry), but there’s more and more development happening as well in the South. Mercury Steam in Spain has been pushing AAA games one after the other after their original hit Jericho and their collaboration with Konami (on the Castlevania reboot) and Nintendo (Metroid Dread). Now the studio behind Martha is Dead, LKA might as well kick off the same trend in Italy. Martha is Dead is an adventure game where you play in first person the role of Giulia, an Italian teenager, during WW2. As the war is raging in Europe, Giula’s family has decided to retreat in the countryside of Italy to stay safe. Your (Italian) mom is married to a German officer which makes for an interesting dynamic in these times of trouble. Giulia also has a twin sister called Martha. She looks just like you, but your personalities were never really the same. # ⚓ Godot Engine ☛ Godot_Engine_–_Godot_4.0_will_discontinue visual_scripting⠀⇛ Visual Scripting was introduced in Godot 3.0, almost five years ago. Despite our continuous effort, it never gained traction and the path to improve it was never clear. Because of this, for Godot 4.0, we decided to accept that the approach we took from the start was simply not the right one and decided to remove it from the engine. If enough volunteer interest exists, it may be moved to an extension. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ DebugPoint ☛ Subtitle_Style,_Audio_Recording_Arrives in_Kdenlive_22.08⠀⇛ Kdenlive 22.08 arrives with the most requested features in this release. Kdenlive is one of the full-featured free and open-source video editors. It’s a KDE app that you can use for your hobby and professional work alongside videos for YouTube, Vimeo and other popular streaming platforms. The Kdenlive 22.08 point release brings some of the most anticipated features with performance improvements and bug fixes. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ ZDNet ☛ Zorin_OS_puts_on_a_masterclass_for_what_a_desktop operating_system_should_be_|_ZDNET⠀⇛ I’ve used nearly every possible desktop operating system known. I’ve experienced nearly every incarnation of Windows and MacOS, I’ve used just about all the various Linux distributions over the years, and I’ve even test- driven some rather obscure OSes that looked promising but never really came to fruition. [...] Let’s dive in and find out why Zorin OS is a master class in desktop operating systems. o § New Releases⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux_Schools_Server_Version_14.0.0_and_client_version 8.0.0_are_now_available_–_The_Linux_Schools_Project⠀⇛ The Linux Schools Server and client are now available for download from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/karoshi/files Both the server and client are both built using automated scripts that will create a customised distribution as an iso image. o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ YaST_Development_Report_–_Chapter_7_of_2022_|_YaST⠀⇛ We all know there is a series of good practices that must be observed when installing and administering any computer system in order to minimize the security hazards. In some cases, those good practices are formalized into a so-called security policy that defines the guidelines that must be observed in order for a given system to be accepted in a secure environment. In that regard, the DISA (Defense Information Systems Agency) and SUSE have authored a STIG (Secure Technical Implementation Guide) that describes how to harden a SUSE Linux Enterprise system. The STIG is a long list of rules, each containing description, detection of problems and how to remediate problems on a per rule basis. There are even some tools to automate the detection and remediation of many of the problems in an already installed systems. But some aspects are very hard to correct if they are not properly set during the installation process of the operating system, like the need of encrypting all the relevant filesystems or honoring certain restrictions in how the devices are formatted and the mount points are defined. So we are actively working on adding the concept of security policies to both the interactive installation and AutoYaST. It is still a work in progress and we will offer a more detailed review of the feature when it’s ready to hit the repositories. # ⚓ SUSE’s Corporate Blog ☛ Kubernetes-native_object_storage with_MinIO_for_SUSE_Rancher_|_SUSE_Communities⠀⇛ Modern enterprises are data-driven and cloud- centric. The latter is a mentality, not a place. The core concepts of the cloud: containerization, orchestration, APIs and automation are the defining characteristics of success for companies in the modern world. Central to this mentality, indeed, perhaps the defining characteristic, is Kubernetes. Kubernetes initially gained popularity as the go-to platform for deploying and orchestrating containerized workloads on distributed systems, but the platform is proving to deliver much more than orchestration. Kubernetes is rapidly becoming a primary control and management point for enterprises because of its ability to treat infrastructure as code. Kubernetes was developed to manage containerized workloads and automate application deployment, scaling and provide a software-controlled infrastructure that abstracts away the intricacies of underlying hardware, operating systems and underlying deployment models. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Turning_interesting_times_into_normalcy: The_constant_value_of_a_Red_Hat_subscription⠀⇛ For more than 20 years, Red Hat has worked to improve the IT experience. We do this through our technology, which adds hardening against wave after wave of software vulnerabilities and potential zero-day exploits, while also helping to make open source innovation more stable. The primary way we actually make IT better, however, is via a Red Hat subscription. A Red Hat subscription is much more than just a way to buy software. It’s how we provide open, innovative technology to IT teams, and how we help our customers support, maintain, manage and better secure their environments. A subscription also provides our customers with a clear way of holding Red Hat accountable to their business goals because we need to earn their business every single year, unlike traditional licenses. # ⚓ FOSSLife ☛ Tips_for_Successful_Open_Source_Program Management⠀⇛ Open source projects produce software, but they’re run by people, says Ben Cotton. Moreover, he notes, “people are dynamic and sometimes unpredictable. The more people are involved, the more unpredictable the project becomes.” And, that’s where program managers can help. “As a program manager, you bring order to the chaos. You don’t do this by imposing order from the top down—that’s not how open source projects work. Instead, you give structure to the agreements of the community,” says Cotton, the Fedora Program Manager at Red Hat. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ StarFive_VisionFive_2_quad-core_RISC-V_SBC launched_for_$46_and_up_(Crowdfunding)⠀⇛ As expected, StarFive has officially unveiled the JH7110 quad-core RISC-V processor with 3D GPU and the VisionFive 2 SBC. I just did not expect the company to also launch a Kickstarter campaign for the board, and the version with 2GB RAM can be had for just about $46 for “early birds”. The VisionFive 2 ships with up to 8GB RAM, HDMI 2.0 and MIPI DSI display interfaces, dual Gigabit Ethernet, four USB 3.0/2.0 ports, a QSPI flash for the bootloader, as well as support for eMMC flash module, M.2 NVMe SSD, and microSD card storage. # ⚓ Peta Pixel ☛ 3D-Printed_12MP_Camera_Runs_Linux_and_Can_Be Operated_from_Anywhere_|_PetaPixel⠀⇛ A computer science student with a passion for electronics and photography has created a 3D printed 12-megapixel camera powered by Linux and a Raspberry Pi computer system named the PiCam. Mukesh Sankhla built the PiCam around a low-cost Raspberry Pi 4 computer with 8GB of RAM that uses a Linux Desktop operating system. The Pi HQ Camera module houses a Sony IMX477R stacked backside-illuminated image sensor capable of capturing 12-megapixel images and even 4K video. Sankhla also added a 16mm C-mount telephoto lens, though he says that it can work with a lens as wide as 6mm. The camera can also support CS-mount lenses, as well. [...] The 3D parts he created not only hold together the Raspberry Pi 4 computer board, but also the Pi camera module. Secured in place with several M2.5 and M5 screws, the entire array is then sandwiched inside the main plastic camera case. # ⚓ Liliputing ☛ Inovato_Quadra_is_a_compact_Linux_PC_with_an ARM_processor_and_$29_starting_price_–_Liliputing⠀⇛ There’s no shortage of cheap, Linux-friendly single-board computers on the market with ARM processors these days. But you know what there may be even more of? Cheap Android TV boxes with similar hardware. So developer Michael Burmeister-Brown decided to repurpose one to create an incredibly cheap Linux computer. Meet the Inovato Quadra, a compact computer with an Allwinner H6 quad-core ARM Cortex- A53 processor, Armbian Linux software, and a starting price of just $29. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Android Headlines ☛ Android_Apps_and_Websites_that_Write Essays_for_You⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Headlines ☛ Why_Android_Devices_Are_Popular_With Gamers⠀⇛ # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ Got_a_Nothing_Phone_(1)?_Don’t_Expect_Your Android_13_Update_Any_Time_Soon⠀⇛ # ⚓ Sony_Xperia_5_IV_suddenly_sounds_like_a_more_appealing Android_phone_|_T3⠀⇛ # ⚓ Notebook Check ☛ Chuwi_HiPad_Max:_New_Android_tablet launches_with_a_Qualcomm_Snapdragon_680_chipset,_dual-SIM connectivity,_Widevine_L1_and_a_large_battery_– NotebookCheck.net_News⠀⇛ * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Events⠀➾ # ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ New_on_FOSS_Force:_Check_Out_Our_Calendar of_Open_Source_Events⠀⇛ It started about six months ago when we changed the theme that gives our site its look and feel, which happened because the developer of the theme we’d been using since our start in 2010 quit supporting it, meaning it was time to move on for security reasons. o § Web Browsers⠀➾ # § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Firefox_104_released_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Version 104 of the Firefox browser has been released. The most interesting new feature, perhaps, is the ability to analyze a web site’s power usage — but that feature is not available on Linux. # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ How_Firefox’s_Total_Cookie_Protection_and container_extensions_work_together⠀⇛ When we recently announced the full public roll-out of Firefox Total Cookie Protection — a new default browser feature that automatically confines cookies to the websites that created them, thus eliminating the most common method that sites use to track you around the web — it raised a question: Do container extensions like Mozilla’s Facebook Container and Multi- Account Containers still serve a purpose, since they similarly perform anti-tracking functions by suppressing cookie trails? [...] But with a container extension, you can isolate cookies even within parts or pages of the same domain. You could have Gmail open in one container tab and Google Shopping and News in other containers (for instance, under different accounts) and Google will be oblivious to their relation. Beyond this added privacy protection, container extensions are most useful as an easy means of separating different parts of your online life (e.g. personal, work) within the same browser. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Dedoimedo ☛ Windows_10_&_remove_“non-removable”_keyboard layouts⠀⇛ The whole thing is indicative of an unintentional “nationalistic” trend whereby software tries to present data in a location-detected language rather than your chosen one. # ⚓ accessing_webassembly_reference-typed_arrays_from_c++_— wingolog⠀⇛ The WebAssembly garbage collection proposal is coming soonish (really!) and will extend WebAssembly with the the capability to create and access arrays whose memory is automatically managed by the host. As long as some system component has a reference to an array, it will be kept alive, and as soon as nobody references it any more, it becomes “garbage” and is thus eligible for collection. (In a way it’s funny to define the proposal this way, in terms of what happens to garbage objects that by definition aren’t part of the program’s future any more; really the interesting thing is the new things you can do with live data, defining new data types and representing them outside of linear memory and passing them between components without copying. But “extensible-arrays-structs- and-other-data-types” just isn’t as catchy as “GC”. Anyway, I digress!) One potential use case for garbage-collected arrays is for passing large buffers between parts of a WebAssembly system. For example, a webcam driver could produce a stream of frames as reference-typed arrays of bytes, and then pass them by reference to a sandboxed WebAssembly instance to, I don’t know, identify cats in the images or something. You get the idea. Reference-typed arrays let you avoid copying large video frames. # ⚓ Qt ☛ Why_Squish_is_the_best_choice_for_GUI_testing⠀⇛ The Squish GUI Test Automation Tool makes it easy to test applications across a range of platforms. Its support for Qt is excellent. # ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Nim_compiled_in_OpenEmbedded_take-2⠀⇛ That first attempt, did compile ‘nim’ and ‘koch’, but did not succeed with ‘nimble’, ‘nimgrep’ and ‘nimsuggest’.

While it’s not as fleshed out as most programming languages, it is considered a programming language by many. Software engineers are accustomed to using the Linux command line to navigate several aspects of development. Linux administrators rely on it fully to complete their tasks. However, Bash arrays tend to remain one of the more obscure features of the CLI. Besides, the questionable syntax results in many developers turning away from using the arrays. Bash arrays are primarily utilized to store data in an indexed manner. You can compare it to storing data in variables, with the difference being that Bash arrays allow you to call back the data using predictable indexed numbers. Furthermore, Bash arrays also allow you to create associations. Bash arrays are an often-overlooked aspect of Bash scripting, mastering which can enable you to customize administrative tasks, run several tasks simultaneously, and even automate tasks. They are an invaluable tool to any Linux power user since using the arrays is necessary when working with scripts that store a large volume of information. This tutorial walks you through all the fundamental operations of Bash arrays. # ⚓ Linux.org ☛ Bash_08_–_Arrays_and_For_Loops⠀⇛ This article is another one that contains some very important information. Arrays are useful in any programming language and Bash is no exception. Arrays are like variable because it holds a value. Let’s look at arrays a little more. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Magistrate_Judge_To_Tesla_Buyer_Suckered_Into_Paying Extra_For_‘Full_Self-Driving’_That_Isn’t_Full_Self-Driving:_Next Time_Read_The_Fine_Print⠀⇛ For many years now, Tesla has referred to its various driver assistance tools as “full self-driving” and then acted shocked and surprised when people point out that it’s nowhere near what any normal human being would consider “full self-driving.” That, of course, hasn’t stopped Tesla boss Elon Musk from repeatedly promoting Full Self-Driving and insisting that it was going to truly be an autonomous driving setup in the somewhat near future. Lots of experts and officials have vocally complained that the “Full Self-Driving” name is dangerously misleading — and recently, the California DMV has actually filed a complaint against the company, alleging that “Full Self-Driving” is a deceptive practice as it is “untrue or misleading.” o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Make_Multi-Material_Resin_Prints_With_A_Syringe_(And_A Bit_Of_Patience)⠀⇛ Resin printing is a fantastic way to create parts, but multi-material printing isn’t really a possibility with resin. That is, unless you use [Cameron Coward]’s method for creating multi-material resin prints. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Choose_Your_Own_Vector_Map⠀⇛ There are adults out there driving who were born after Google Earth came out. Potentially distressing facts aside, those who were around to remember the magic of scrolling in and out with infinite levels of detail was an experience that burned into our brains. Perhaps still curious 21 years later, [Craig Kochis] dove into how vector maps work by implementing one himself. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_Brief_History_Of_Drywall_Or:_How_Drywall_Came_To Dominate_The_World_Of_Construction⠀⇛ Drywall is common and ubiquitous in commercial and residential buildings today.

However, it remains a popular DIY drone for fans of the military aircraft, like [Tom Stanton]. He recently built his 5th tilt-rotor VTOL and gave an excellent look at the development process. Video after the break. # ⚓ The Next Platform ☛ Samsung_Shows_Off_CXL_Server_Memory Expander⠀⇛ People have been talking about CXL memory expansion for so long that it seems that it should be here already, but with the dearth of CPUs that can support PCI-Express 5.0 peripherals we have to be patient a little bit longer. To whet the appetite of system architects who will without a doubt want to extend the memory capacity and bandwidth of their systems by harvesting PCI- Express slots for main memory, Samsung Electronics, which would be thrilled to sell a lot more DRAM chips into the datacenter, was showing off its CXL Memory Expander card at the Hot Chips 34 conference this week. Sung Joo Park, principal engineer at Samsung, gave an overview of why we want to do bandwidth and capacity expansion in systems – something we have talked about at length here, there, and everywhere. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ The Nation ☛ How_Worldwide_Famine_Would_Follow_Even_a “Limited”_Nuclear_War⠀⇛ The United States has a population of about 329 million people, is protected by two oceans, and grows food that feeds hundreds of millions around the world. We have a powerful military, peaceful borders with our neighbors, and a network of alliances. We would seem well-positioned to defend ourselves from the dangers of foreign war. Our fate surely thus rests in our own hands; the only question is whether we will be wise enough and lucky enough to chart a safe national course. # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ Walmart,_CVS_and_Walgreens_Must_Pay_$650M for_Filling_Prescriptions_to_Pill_Mills_in_Opioid_Crisis⠀⇛ A landmark ruling orders pharmacy chains Walmart, CVS and Walgreens to pay a combined $650 million for their role in fueling the opioid crisis, as other cases have focused on opioid makers and wholesalers that distribute the addictive painkillers. A federal judge in Ohio found the pharmacy chains accountable for filling prescriptions even after suspecting doctors were operating pill mills. “It’s high time that all the players in this terrible chain of manufacture, prescribing, dispensing, are held responsible for their actions,” says Barry Meier, author of “Pain Killer: An Empire of Deceit and the Origin of America’s Opioid Epidemic.” The Pulitzer Prize- winning reporter covered the opioid crisis for decades at The New York Times. He also discusses similar rulings against Walgreens and others in San Francisco and Florida. # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ Visualizing_Toxic_Air⠀⇛ Building the project required that we develop a thorough understanding of a complex statistical model, ground-truth the sometimes unreliable data that had been self-reported by polluters, solve technical challenges associated with massive data sets and interview people who lived and worked near dangerous pollution. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ COVID_Is_Still_Rampant,_But_Big_Pharma_Will_Soon Charge_for_Shots_and_Treatments⠀⇛ o § Entrapment (Microsoft GitHub)⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Foundation’s Site/Blog ☛ Elevate_Your_Organization’s Open_Source_Strategy [Ed: 'Linux' Foundation is pushing proprietary software controlled by Microsoft.

Performing static analysis of a malicious binary means concentrating on analyizing its code without executing it. This type of analysis may reveal to malware analysts not only what the malware does, but also its developer’s future intentions (e.g., currently unfinished functionalities). # ⚓ USCERT ☛ CISA_releases_7_Industrial_Control_Systems Advisories_|_CISA⠀⇛ CISA has released 7 Industrial Control Systems (ICS) advisories on August 23, 2022. These advisories provide timely information about current security issues, vulnerabilities, and exploits surrounding ICS. # ⚓ CISA ☛ Measuresoft_ScadaPro_Server_and_Client [Ed: Microsoft TCO (ActiveX)]⠀⇛ ScadaPro Server uses unmaintained ActiveX controls.

It can be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary codes on the targeted systems. # ⚓ Preparing_Your_Incident_Response_Team_for_Container Incidents⠀⇛ The use of containers—and orchestration platforms like Kubernetes—is increasing rapidly around the globe. Analysts predict that by 2023, more than 70% of global organizations will be running more than two containerized applications in production, up from less than 20% in 2019. The downside of this rapid growth is that many organizations have fallen behind when it comes to securing all of this new technology. This is especially true when it comes to responding to any incidents which may occur in containers. This article will give you five practical steps to ensure that, when a security incident involving a container happens, your incident response team will be prepared. It is very easy to think that existing policies, methods and tools will cover containers, but they are actually very different and must be accounted for during an incident response effort. # ⚓ USCERT ☛ VMware_Releases_Security_Update⠀⇛ VMware has released a security update to address a vulnerability in Tools. A remote attacker could likely exploit the vulnerability to take control of an affected system. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Gab_Users_Somehow_Astounded_To_Discover Gab_Will_Comply_With_FBI_Requests_For_User Information⠀⇛ All aboard the schadenfreude train! # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Horrifying:_Google_Flags_Parents_As_Child Sex_Abusers_After_They_Sent_Their_Doctors_Requested Photos⠀⇛ Over the last few years, there has been a lot of attention paid to the issue of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online. It is a huge and serious problem. And has been for a while. If you talk to trust and safety experts who work in the field, the stories they tell are horrifying and scary. Trying to stop the production of such material (i.e., literal child abuse) is a worthy and important goal. Trying to stop the flow of such material is similarly worthy. # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ Google_Workers_Demand_Privacy_for Abortion_Searches_&_Want_to_Stop_Ads_for_Anti-Abortion “Clinics”⠀⇛ We speak with one of the more than 650 workers calling on Google’s parent company Alphabet to protect the location and browser history of people searching for information on abortion. A petition led by the Alphabet Workers Union also demands the company block advertisements that misleadingly direct users to so-called crisis pregnancy centers, a tactic employed by anti-abortion activists to lure patients to discourage them from seeking abortions. “Systems like Google, that know everything about you, can now be used against you,” says Alejandra Beatty, technical program manager at Alphabet healthcare subsidiary Verily and southwest chapter lead with the Alphabet Workers Union. She says organizers are also asking Google to extend its abortion benefits — including relocation support for employees hoping to move to states where abortion isn’t criminalized, and travel and healthcare costs for any out-of- state abortion procedures — to contractors who make up about half of the company’s workforce. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Happy_to_help_How_Turkey’s_President_Erdogan_has leveraged_Russia’s_war_in_Ukraine_to_punch_above_his_weight_— Meduza⠀⇛ Story by Anna Filippova.

He has the credibility to offer important insights into what pursuing an Espionage Act prosecution against a former US president may mean for the United States. Arkin is currently the senior editor for intelligence at Newsweek. He has written multiple reports related to the Justice Department’s investigation into former President Donald Trump’s mishandling of classified information. His reporting revealed that the FBI had an informant, who had knowledge of what documents Trump had in his possession and where they were located. He later reported more details on Trump’s “private stash” of documents.In the 30- minute interview, which was recorded on August 19, Arkin outlines the timeline of events, what the DOJ investigation may mean for Trump’s potential 2024 presidential campaign, and why he believes the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago has sparked one of the biggest political disasters in the history of the bureau. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Russian_FSB_blames_Ukrainian_intelligence_after car_blast_kills_Daria_Dugina_—_Meduza⠀⇛ Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has accused the Ukrainian intelligence services of killing pro- war pundit Daria Dugina, the daughter of prominent Eurasianist philosopher Alexander Dugin, Interfax reported on Monday, August 22.  # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ January_6th_Committee_Once_Again_Tries_To_Get The_DHS_Inspector_General_To_Cooperate_With_Its Investigation⠀⇛ Joseph Cuffari, addressed as the “Honorable” in this letter [PDF] from the House Committee seeking information on the January 6, 2021 raid of the Capitol building in an attempt to overturn election results, has been anything but honorable since being appointed to his position by former president Donald Trump. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Small_Combat_Robots_Pack_A_Punch_In_Antweight Division⠀⇛ Two robots enter, one robot leaves!

He continued to lament that America had “now become one of those countries, corrupt at a level not seen before.” # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Balkan_Dispatch:_Bulgaria’s_Crisis_of Confidence⠀⇛ Sofia, Bulgaria—Unique among nations in my experience, Bulgaria is resistant to flattery. I had previously visited the Balkan country in 2006, when it was still visibly suffering from the aftereffects of shock therapy—the common euphemism for an ill-planned and corrupt transition from a decrepit state socialism to casino capitalism. The scenes at that time were familiar in all the former Warsaw Pact nations of the 1990s and 2000s, but with perhaps a harsher edge: an emptied countryside, degradation of public spaces, obvious mafiosos lording over the citizenry (I was particularly struck by the opulent and almost pharaonic tombstones honoring fallen gangsters), and a population that skewed old as the young sought opportunities abroad. In this environment, many in Bulgaria looked for hope in closer integration with the West.

The preliminary injunction comes as the law is being challenged by business owners, students, educators and the American Civil Liberties Union. We speak with Diane Roberts, journalist and professor of English at Florida State University, who says faculty have either become so scared that many have left the university or are considering leaving. “A lot of people will self-censor, and I think that was the idea all along,” she says, noting this is especially true for untenured faculty. Roberts also discusses DeSantis’s potential run for president. Her new Washington Post op-ed is headlined “DeSantis aims to scare academics.

People of all political affiliations “are now being dragged from their homes in handcuffs because all they ever wanted to do was participate in democracy,” says Desmond Meade, president of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, who spearheaded an initiative to reenfranchise people with prior felony convictions, before it was overturned by Republicans. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Trotsky’s_Third_Death⠀⇛ So it was, and I recover. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Close_to_6_in_10_Americans_Want_Trump Investigations_to_Continue⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Republicans_Say_They’ll_Go_After_Labor_Movement If_They_Take_Control_of_House⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ GOP_Candidate_With_Violent_Past_Has_Said_Gay People_Are_“Worthy_of_Death”⠀⇛ # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Proud_Men_vs._Loud_Boys⠀⇛ Look up the definition of the word “conservative” and it will become immediately obvious that the term no longer applies to what the Grand Old Party has evolved into since 2016. Just as many publications and broadcast outlets have begun weaning themselves from the phrase “climate change” in favor of “climate crisis” or “climate catastrophe,” in referring to the extreme far right, it’s time for the media to refrain from using the term “conservative Republican”—except, of course, if it’s referring to Rep. Liz Cheney. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Voters_Tend_to_Punish_Carpetbaggers._That’s Bad_News_for_Dr._Oz⠀⇛ Fetterman’s attacks against Oz may be entertaining, but they aren’t unprecedented. Such characterizations can be helpful in elections. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Better_Call_Saul’s_Liberal_Guilt_Trip⠀⇛ The fact that the genius cannot get health care while the hacks who stole his ideas can do anything they want exposes the supposed meritocracy of capitalism. Any student of the founding of large corporations knows that the ones who get rich are the ones who are good at breaking the law, not the ones who come up with clever ideas. Gretchen and Elliot still want to be friends with Walt and his wife Skyler but only so they can humiliate Walt at every turn. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Project Censored ☛ The_Confluence_of_Surveillance_and Censorship_and_Violence_Against_Journalists_–_The_Project Censored_Show⠀⇛ Notes: # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Reddit’s_DMCA_Removals_Surged_15,000%_in Five_Years⠀⇛ The number of DMCA takedown notices received by Reddit has exploded over the past few years. Between 2017 and 2021, content removals surged from a ‘measly’ 4,352 to well over 665k. Meanwhile, banned users and subreddits have become much more common on the platform. # ⚓ AccessNow ☛ From_Palestine_to_India,_Meta_must_step_up_and protect_the_rights_of_the_global_majority⠀⇛ Meta must take responsibility and be held accountable to its actions — it’s time to bring its human rights reviews into the public eye. The company’s refusal and failure to release the full independent India Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA) report sets an alarming precedent for the long-awaited and twice delayed independent review of Meta’s content suppression of Palestinian voices, commissioned by BSR, a non-profit organization focusing on business and human rights. Access Now and a coalition of civil society organizations working in Arabic-speaking countries demand, via a joint statement, the immediate release of both the India HRIA report and Palestine’s BSR report. “Meta must be held accountable for the harms it continues to inflict on marginalized and oppressed communities,” said Marwa Fatafta, MENA Policy and Advocacy Manager at Access Now. “Failing to publicly release its India and Palestine reviews shows Meta’s blatant disregard for human rights and utter disrespect for the global majority.” # ⚓ AccessNow ☛ Meta’s_Treatment_of_the_India_Human_Rights Impact_Assessment_Is_an_Alarming_Precedent_for_Arabic Speaking_Countries⠀⇛ The undersigned civil society organizations working in Arabic-speaking countries demand the immediate release of Meta’s India human rights impact assessment (HRIA) and BSR’s independent review of Meta’s content moderation in Palestine. Meta contracted with BSR, a third-party assessor, “to conduct a thorough examination to determine whether Facebook’s content moderation in Arabic and Hebrew, including its use of automation, have been applied without bias,” and promised to release the report “in the first quarter of 2022.” Meta released its first human rights report last month, and it’s disappointing, to say the least. Many in civil society were intrigued, if not exactly hopeful, when Meta created a human rights team. We hoped it meant the company would start to take accountability seriously, and provide an easy path for us to engage with the right people to implement meaningful changes based on the feedback we provided. We were also concerned that Meta would use its creation of a human rights team to evade responsibility, whitewash bad behavior, and sidetrack human rights advocates seeking to engage with decision-makers who can implement rights- respecting policy, enforcement, and engineering changes. Unfortunately, our fears appear to have been justified. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Stop_Trying_To_Make_State_Action_Doctrine Happen⠀⇛ I’ve spent many years criticizing government officials and politicians of both parties for threatening retaliation against individuals and companies for their speech. But there are some pretty clear lines of what counts as actual 1st Amendment violations in retaliating over speech, and what is just government folks mouthing off and expressing their own opinion. To be clear, I think government officials should mostly shut the fuck up, instead of trying to influence websites on how to moderate, but there’s a pretty big distance between unwise mouthing off and reaching the level where it becomes a state action issue. # ⚓ Telex (Hungary) ☛ She_wanted_to_be_an_ear,_a_heart_and_a mouth,_but_became_a_signing_hand_instead⠀⇛ # ⚓ Telex (Hungary) ☛ Hungary_sends_reply_to_the_EU_Commission on_rule_of_law_issues⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Ithaca_Starbucks_Stores_Are_Union-Busting,_But Workers_Are_Undeterred⠀⇛ # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ 3_Arkansas_Cops_Suspended_Amid_Probe_of Brutal_Beating_Caught_on_Video⠀⇛ KARK reports Arkansas State Police special agents are investigating two Crawford County Sheriff’s deputies and a Mulberry Police Department (MPD) officer who were recorded earlier Sunday kneeing and punching 27-year-old Randall Worcester of Goose Creek, South Carolina and slamming the man’s head into the pavement while holding him down a short distance from a convenience store in Mulberry. Employees at the store had called police after Worcester allegedly spat on and threatened them. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ ‘This_Is_Blackmail’:_New_Orleans_Denied Flood_Funds_Over_Opposition_to_Abortion_Ban⠀⇛ As CNN reported Saturday, last week marked the second time in as many months that the panel rejected financing for a $39 million planning and infrastructure project designed to protect the residents of Orleans Parish from storm-induced floodwaters, which are projected to intensify in the coming years as a result of the fossil fuel- driven climate crisis. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Opinion_|_The_Tide_Is_Turning:_US_Congress Finally_Considers_a_National_Domestic_Workers_Bill_of Rights⠀⇛ $71,610.03: the back wages, interest, and civil penalties paid to a live-in domestic worker by their negligent employer in Seattle. In July, King5 News reported, the city’s Office of Labor Standards orchestrated the employer’s settlement—redress for their failure to pay minimum wage, provide overtime pay, and track payment.  # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Opinion_|_New_Documentary_‘The_Territory’ Chronicles_Indigenous_Land_Defenders’_Fight_to_Protect_the Amazon⠀⇛ As Brazil’s presidential campaign kicks off this week, “The Territory”—a new film created in collaboration with the Uru-ea-wau-wau people of Brazil—documents the urgency and beauty of Indigenous land defenders’ fight to resist settler encroachment in the Amazon. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Brazil’s_Lula_Vows_to_‘Put_an_End_to Illegal_Mining’_if_Elected_President⠀⇛ “Illegal mining is a tumor growing in our country.” o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ Telex (Hungary) ☛ The_state_to_invest_in_mobile communications_giant,_Vodafone_Hungary⠀⇛ o § Monopolies⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Lenovo_Sends_Legal_Goons_After_Upstart Competitor_Framework…_Because_Of_A_3D_Printed_Case_Power Button⠀⇛ Earlier this year, I bought a Framework laptop. If you haven’t heard of the Framework, it’s a very new laptop company, but one that really believes in not just respecting, but encouraging tinkering and the right to repair. Cory Doctorow had written a glowing piece about the Framework that first got my attention, talking about how it was designed so that users can take it apart, fix things, and upgrade it easily. It literally ships with the only tool you’ll need (a T5 Torx screwdriver). Like Cory, prior to that, I had basically relied almost exclusively on ThinkPads (initially from IBM, and then Lenovo, once the line was sold off). I found that ThinkPads tended to be pretty reliable and to last a decently long time. Though, I have had more trouble with the last few ThinkPads I purchased, including the most recent from a few years back, which had to have the motherboard replaced three times (none of which fixed the problems before they finally sent me a new laptop entirely). # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Brazil_Repurposes_Seized_Pirate Streaming_Boxes_for_Schools_and_Hospitals⠀⇛ In recent years Brazil has carried out several high-profile anti-piracy operations. Among other things, this resulted in the seizure of 1.5 million illegal streaming devices. Some of these devices were repurposed and donated to schools. In addition, former pirate streaming boxes have found their way into hospitals and police cars too. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ OG_GTA_Dev:_Rockstar_Hit_My_GTA Prototype_Videos_With_DMCA_Notices⠀⇛ Some companies enforce their IP rights because they can, not necessarily because they should. This can lead to tension with fans, who in the majority of cases are also customers, but why stop there? Mike Dailly, one of the developers of the original Grand Theft Auto, had historically significant GTA prototype videos on his YouTube channel. Rockstar complained. YouTube took them down. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ GOT_Prequel_“House_of_the_Dragon” Premiered_Early_on_Pirate_Sites⠀⇛ The long-awaited premiere of “House of the Dragon” finally arrived on Sunday. The Game of Thrones prequel immediately proved to be a hit on pirate sites, where the first episode was widely available nearly a day before the official release. As a result, hundreds of thousands of pirates saw the show before paying customers. * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal⠀➾ # ⚓ EFTIOSG_Wordo:_BATHE⠀⇛ # ⚓ Thoughts_on_Boundaries_in_Communication⠀⇛ Whenver I sit down to write I tend to quickly trail off into an unrelated subject. I tire of plowing through to finish what I intended on writing. I realize this is a result of open-endedness: when I lack purpose when writing, I don’t have anything to say. Previously I wrote about the importance of being free to write long-term essays. I discussed the possibility of freedom from external restraints such as marketability or social status. I believe these are all vital to writing genuinely. I also realize that some boundaries are necessary. To speak with someone effectively, the participants must stay on topic. All ideas must be presented clearly and as completely as the context permits (I can get away with far longer monologues here than face-to-face with my friends). As conversation continues, the idea solidifies the participants’ minds and they are able to pursue further understanding more easily. Changing the subject interrupts that buildup, restarting the mental bridge-building process. o § Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Fun_with_TTS⠀⇛ Recently, I discovered the Streamelements API used for text-to-speech is available for anyone to use. The most popular voice, Brian, tends to be (ab)used for fun. I’m not a huge fan of the TTS voice that comes with GNOME and other solutions would take a bit of effort to setup, so I decided to make a quick Fish script… # ⚓ Re:_How_Many_Computer_do_you_have?⠀⇛ For me a computer is an equipment that allows me to create something or for doing creative activities (e.g. creating a document file, editing a photo, etc.), or traditional computer stuff like serving files (NAS, Samba, Media Player, etc.) or provide other services (Transmissions, etc.). Must support the majority of the *nix OS and must be controlled at least by a keyboard or through SSH, I must be able to install any OS any time because it is designed for such scope. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ The_Evolution_of_Marginalia’s_crawling⠀⇛ In the primordial days of Marginalia Search, it used a dynamic approach to crawling the Internet. It ran a number of crawler threads, 32 or 64 or some such, that fetched jobs from a director service, that grabbed them straight out of the URL database, these jobs were batches of 100 or so documents that needed to be crawled. Crawling was not planned ahead of time, but rather decided through a combination of how much of a website had been visited, and the quality score of that website determined where to go next. It also promoted crawling websites adjacent to high quality websites. # ⚓ Announcement:_Return_of_Chess_Over_Gemini⠀⇛ I’m excited to announce that chess has returned to Rob’s Gemini Capsule! The Chess Over Gemini service has been rewritten from scratch to be more robust, to scale more easily, and to have more features. The original implementation was written in Bash in just a few days and used very crude chess logic, barely enough to make pieces movable and calculate checks and checkmates. The plaintext storage format was difficult to modify and didn’t store some important data. The new implementation uses the Python “chess” module and a SQLite database, allowing me to utilize much more powerful tools. # § Programming⠀➾ # ⚓ Backing_up_online_documentation⠀⇛ I’ve noticed a recent trend of projects moving most of their documentation online. This means in order to view it, you need a web browser and Internet connectivity. They may have some offline documentation, but I find that many projects contain information that can only be found online. Normally, you’d expect this additional documentation to appear in /usr/share/doc, but this is often not the case if it’s not easily packagable. # ⚓ My_friend_is_making_a_game_(Minecraft_but_in_C++_and with_martian_droids)⠀⇛ Of course, it only resembles Minecraft superficially: it’s a game based on voxels and the mining/building metaphors are similar, but in fact, the more nuanced mechanisms and gameplay differ significantly, not to mention that it’s written entirely in C++ using a homebrew 3D graphics engine. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Such certainty can only be reinstated by a terminal file manager. [...] With nnn terminal file manager, you get to preview and determine (if need be) the desired outlook of your Linux user file system from the command line. # ⚓ TecMint ☛ fd_–_A_Simple_and_Fast_Alternative_to_Find Command [Ed: Not new, but newly updated[⠀⇛ Most Linux users are well familiar with the find command and the many cases it can be used. Today we are going to review an alternative to find command, called fd. fd is a simple, fast, and user-friendly tool meant to simply perform faster compared to find. It is not meant to completely replace find, but rather give you an easy-to-use alternative that performs slightly faster. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Install_WordPress_with_LAMP_in_RHEL Distributions⠀⇛ WordPress is an open source and free blogging application and a dynamic CMS (Content Management System) developed using MySQL and PHP. It has a huge number of third-party plugins and themes. WordPress is currently one of the most popular blogging platforms available on the internet and is used by millions of people across the globe. In this tutorial we are going to explain how to install the popular content management system – WordPress using LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL/MariaDB, PHP) on RHEL-based distributions such as CentOS Stream, Fedora, Rocky Linux, and AlmaLinux distributions. # ⚓ Citizix ☛ How_to_set_up_Django_application_with_Postgres, Nginx,_and_Gunicorn_on_Rocky_Linux/Alma_Linux_9⠀⇛ In this guide we will learn how to set up django application on a Rocky Linux 9 server. We will be setting up a PostgreSQL database instead of using the default SQLite database. We will configure the Gunicorn application server to interface with our applications. We will then set up Nginx to reverse proxy to Gunicorn, giving us access to its security and performance features to serve our apps. # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Chromium_Browser_on_Linux Mint_21_LTS⠀⇛ Chromium is an open-source browser project that was first launched in 2008. The project aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all users to experience the web. To do this, the Chromium codebase is constantly being improved, with new features and security updates being released regularly. The Chromium codebase is also used by many other browsers, including Microsoft Edge, Opera, and Vivaldi. This means that any improvements made to Chromium will benefit these browsers as well. Chromium is well-liked amongst advanced users who prefer not to have all the bloat of tracking in Chrome and other proprietary software. This is because Chromium does not collect user data, and all browser extensions are open- source and available on the Chrome Web Store. As a result, Chromium provides a more private and secure browsing experience for all users. # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ How_to_manage_service_accounts_and security_context_constraints_in_OpenShift_|_Enable_Sysadmin⠀⇛ Kubernetes and OpenShift utilize user accounts and service accounts. The difference is simple: User accounts are for humans, and service accounts are for processes. In my previous article, I demonstrated how to use a service account and security context constraints (SCCs) to ensure that a pod has sufficient permissions to run system- level processes. This article discusses using and managing service accounts and SCCs. # ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ How_to_Run_Perl_scripts_in_Linux_Command Line⠀⇛ Call them ancient but Perl scripts are still a great way of scripting automation tasks for various sysadmin tasks. # ⚓ OSTechNix ☛ Introduction_To_Bash_Scripting_–_OSTechNix⠀⇛ If you are taking the first step in learning Bash scripting, then you have come to the right place. This introduction to Bash scripting guide is created with a bunch of different topics that will make you comfortable in writing your first bash script. Before learning shell scripting, you should have a good amount of knowledge on how to work with terminal and run some basic commands like cd, chmod, ls, cp, mv, etc., and an understanding of the Linux process. # ⚓ RoseHosting ☛ How_to_Install_TYPO3_on_Ubuntu_22.04_– RoseHosting⠀⇛ TYPO3 is a free, open-source enterprise Content Management System (CMS) based on PHP. It allows you to set up flexible blogs and websites easily and is a great alternative to the most popular CMS platforms like WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install TYPO3 on your Ubuntu 22.04 server. # ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_VLC_Media_Player_on_Linux_Mint_21 –_idroot⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install VLC Media Player on Linux Mint 21. For those of you who didn’t know, VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia video formats such as mp4, MOV, MPEG, and WMV, and various streaming protocols. In addition, VLC can be extended and customized with a wide range of plugins. As a result, it is an incredibly versatile tool for both consumers and professionals. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of a VLC Media Player on Linux Mint 21 (Vanessa). # ⚓ FOSSLinux ☛ How_to_install_ffmpeg_on_Ubuntu_|_FOSS_Linux⠀⇛ FFmpeg is a command-line utility for transcoding multimedia files that is free and open-source. It includes libavcodec, libavformat, and libavutil, which are shared audio and video libraries. You may use FFmpeg to convert between different video and audio formats, as well as alter sample rates and resize videos. If you’re searching for a guide on installing FFmpeg on the most recent release of Ubuntu, 22.04, you’ve come to the right spot. We’ve outlined the procedures for installing FFmpeg in this article. # ⚓ FOSSLinux ☛ How_to_encrypt_LVM_volumes_with_LUKS_|_FOSS Linux⠀⇛ Data security is critical, especially for organizations. Whether it’s customer data, sensitive industry information, credit card or bank details, or employee records, ensuring proper access and maintaining confidentiality is critical to your relationships, reputation, and remaining on the right side of the law. A significant part of data security is ensuring that information cannot be accessed if it is stolen or mistakenly lost. This may include a laptop getting misplaced while traveling or a PC being taken from your business. Encrypting the data is the best approach to safeguard it in each of these instances. In Linux, data may be secured using LUKS, a transparent disk encryption mechanism. Encrypting logical volumes is one of the most effective ways to secure data at rest. There are numerous other methods for encrypting data, but LUKS is the best because it performs encryption while operating at the kernel level. The standard procedure for encrypting hard disks on Linux is LUKS or Linux Unified Key Setup. # ⚓ Linux Shell Tips ☛ How_to_View_Files_and_Directories_Within Vim_Editor⠀⇛ At face value, Vim is regarded as an exceptional text editor. However, there is more to this supposed ‘text editor‘ when it comes to implementing some file management footprints. Vim might not seem user-friendly in the eyes of a new Linux user but once you get a grip on its usage, there is no turning back. This article will walk us through the use of Vim as a file manager, but first, we will appreciate some unique features that classify it as a reputable text editor. # ⚓ OpenSource.com ☛ How_I_migrated_to_NetworkManager_keyfiles for_configuration_|_Opensource.com⠀⇛ NetworkManager was introduced in 2004 to make network configuration more flexible and dynamic. The old SystemV startup shell scripts, of which the interface configuration files were a part, were incapable of handling WiFi, wired, VPNs, broadband modems, and more—or at least incapable of doing it quickly or efficiently. In a series of articles, I’ve written about why I’m a fan of NetworkManager and how I’ve used it. In part 1, I looked at what NetworkManager does and some of the tools it provides for viewing network connections and devices. In that article, I mentioned that NetworkManager does not need interface configuration files for most hosts. However, it can create its own ini-style configuration files, and it recognizes the older network interface configuration files. The NetworkManager configuration files are officially called keyfiles. In part 2, I looked at the deprecated interface configuration files and how to configure them, should you still be using them. Support for the deprecated ifcfg files is no longer provided by default for new installations beginning with Fedora 36. It will continue to use them on systems that have been upgraded from earlier versions of Fedora to release 36—at least for a while longer. Still, it is not a good idea at this late stage to depend on deprecated ifcfg configuration files. So for part 3 of this series, I will demonstrate migrating existing interface configuration files to the NetworkManager keyfiles using the command-line tool provided. I will also look at using both command-line and GUI tools to create new keyfiles from scratch and compare them for ease of use. The migration is considerably more straightforward than it sounds. I used the nmcli connection migrate command on the two systems I needed to migrate, one with a single network interface card (NIC) and one, my router/firewall, with three NICs. After some extensive testing on a VM, it also worked perfectly the first time on both production hosts. That’s it: No other commands, options, or arguments required. And it is fast, taking much less than one second on both hosts. # ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Create_Fillable_Forms_in_Moodle_with ONLYOFFICE_Docs⠀⇛ Online educators are spoilt for choice if they decide to share their knowledge through an e- learning platform on Linux. Today there is a great number of learning management systems (LMS) that can be easily adapted to the needs of both teachers and students to make the online educational process as smooth and productive as possible. Moodle is probably the most famous and multi- purpose LMS that allows its users to create a virtual educational environment with courses, forums, wikis, chats, and blogs on a Linux server. One of the biggest advantages of this learning management platform is that you can extend its basic functionality with third-party plugins and even integrate it with other software tools, such as BigBlueButton. In this article, you will learn how to enhance the learning experience in Moodle by creating fillable forms with the help of ONLYOFFICE Docs, an online office suite for Linux. # ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_use_OpenTelemetry_to_trace_Node.js applications_|_Red_Hat_Developer⠀⇛ One great thing about Node.js is how well it performs inside a container. The shift to containerized deployments and environments comes with extra complexity. This article addresses the added complexity of observability—seeing what’s going on within your application and its resources. We will also cover how to set up OpenTelemetry to achieve this visibility. This is useful when resource usage wanders outside of the expected norms. The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) maintains a set of open source libraries and tools for visibility. OpenTelemetry is gaining momentum with developers to increase the observability of their Node.js applications through cross-component traces. OpenTelemetry with Jaeger as a backend is a great option for tracing Node.js applications running inside of a container. Although OpenTelemetry is still in an incubated status at the CNCF, it is the leading choice for tracing. You can read more about why we believe in the importance of distributed tracing on the distributed tracing Node.js Reference Architecture page. # ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_monitor_3scale_API_Management_using Prometheus_and_Grafana_|_Red_Hat_Developer⠀⇛ Red Hat 3scale API Management is a valuable tool that coordinates access to your services. This article demonstrates how to monitor 3scale API Management using Prometheus to collect statistics and Grafana to display them. We use the monitoring provided by the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. The OpenShift Container Platform uses plugins installed from OperatorHub for monitoring. This article also demonstrates how to install the Grafana Operator. You don’t have to install the Prometheus Operator because it is already installed in OpenShift monitoring, and the Prometheus user interface (UI) is integrated into the Monitoring page of the OpenShift console. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Cities:_Skylines_is_getting_another expansion_with_Plazas_and_Promenades⠀⇛ Plazas and Promenades is the next expansion for the city-builder Cities: Skylines, giving you the option to build up some special pedestrian zones. Build up your dream on-foot experience with it, apparently. Goodbye noise and air pollution huh? # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Mask_of_the_Rose_from_Failbetter_Games delayed_until_April_2023⠀⇛ Failbetter Games put a new production update post up recently for Mask of the Rose that went over the user interface, but they also announced a delay. What is Mask of the Rose? A visual novel dating sim all about mystery, set in the wonderfully weird gothic world of Fallen London. For players of Sunless Sea and Sunless Skies, it gives you a new way to experience the universe, # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Humble_Store_has_a_big_Summer_Sale_live, lots_on_offer_for_Steam_Deck_&_Linux⠀⇛ It’s the beginning of a fresh week so maybe you want some new games? Well, Humble Store has a huge amount discounted in their new Summer Sale that lasts until September 6th. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Survival_city-building_game_Synergy certainly_looks_different⠀⇛ A city-builder not quite like the others it seems. Synergy from Leikir Studio and Goblinz Publishing has a pretty great pastel colour style to it. This is a survival game too, not just a standard city- builder. One I apparently missed that was announced during the PC Gaming Show. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ Flatpak_1.14_Linux_App_Sandboxing_and Distribution_Framework_Is_Out_with_New_Features⠀⇛ Flatpak 1.14 is here as a major update to the Flatpak 1.12 series, which was released in October 2021, adding the ability to create a directory for XDG_STATE_HOME and set the HOST_XDG_STATE_HOME environment variable, networked access to X11 and PulseAudio services if an app has network access, and support for a new DeploySideloadCollectionID key in flatpakref and flatpakrepo files to allow the setting of collection IDs when adding a remote from one of those repo files. # ⚓ DebugPoint ☛ Fedora_37:_Top_New_Features_and_Release_Wiki⠀⇛ An article about Fedora 37 and its new features, release details and everything you need to know. Fedora 37 development is wrapping up, and the BETA is approaching. Hence the features and packages are final at this stage. In this usual feature guide page, I have summarised the essential features you should know about Fedora 37 and get an idea of what to expect. But before that, here’s a tentative schedule. [...] Finally, also in this release, Fedora drops 32-bit Java packages, including JDK 8, 11, and 17, since usage is low. In addition, the openssl1.1 package is also deprecated. # ⚓ Enterprisers Project ☛ 5_Harvard_Business_Review_articles CIOs_should_read_now [Ed: Red Hat trying to talk to 'suits']⠀⇛ Each month, through our partnership with Harvard Business Review, we refresh our resource library with five new HBR articles we believe CIOs and IT leaders will value highly. Check out the curated pieces below, available to readers through the end of the month. # ⚓ Enterprisers Project ☛ 3_steps_for_CIOs_to_build_a sustainable_business_|_The_Enterprisers_Project⠀⇛ It’s no wonder that sustainability is a priority for boards of directors. Partners, clients, shareholders, and other stakeholders request carbon footprint data from sourcing and investment business sectors – they want to see companies progress in this key area. It makes good business sense. According to a new study by Genpact, 58% of senior executives who strongly agree that their companies have embedded environmentally sustainable business have better business performance compared to 40% of other respondents. The board often looks to CIOs to drive these sustainability efforts. CIOs should regard this as an opportunity – to stop reacting to events and instead embrace a proactive plan based on long-term thinking. From our recent discussions with many CIOs from the F500 organizations we serve, we know that technology leaders believe they can significantly impact sustainability. Nevertheless, most have a long way to go: Less than 10 percent of companies measure their carbon footprint today, and over 30 percent of those get the measurements wrong. # ⚓ Red Hat ☛ 8_ways_OpenShift_4.11_improves_developer experience_|_Red_Hat_Developer⠀⇛ Red Hat OpenShift 4.11 features many improvements to the developer experience in the OpenShift Container Platform web console. This article covers the highlights for developers—including the long- awaited dark mode. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ SiFive_and_Ubuntu_22.04_LTS:_Linux_distribution_officially runs_on_RISC-V_CPUs_–_Research_Snipers⠀⇛ The latest edition of the popular Linux distribution Ubuntu from British distributor Canonical now officially runs on processors with SiFive’s RISC-V architecture and StarFive’s single- board computers based on it. For the first time, both companies offer official support for the open source platform. [...] At the RISC-V Summit 2021 industry meeting, the company StarFive, co-founded by SiFive, presented the VisionFive V1, a compact single-board computer with the RISC-V processor StarFive JH7100 for AI applications under Linux, which has two processor cores and 8 GB LPDDR4 at 100 × 72 mm. On this system, Canonical and SiFive, and StarFive now offer official support for the free operating system Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (“Jammy Jellyfish”) for the first time. Cindy Goldberg, vice president of Silicon Alliance at Canonical, and Thomas Xu, founder and CEO of StarFive, announced in a joint announcement that SiFive, StarFive, and Canonical are working together to advance Ubuntu and Linux on the RISC-V architecture. # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ The_State_of_Robotics_–_August_2022_|_Ubuntu⠀⇛ Another fascinating month for robotics. Researchers are the highlight of the month. Through their work, we are pushing the boundaries of self-awareness, complex structure and even the limits of life and death. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ $29_Inovato_Quadra_Arm_mini_PC_runs_Armbian on_Allwinner_H6_processor_–_CNX_Software⠀⇛ Inovato Quadra is an Arm Linux mini PC based on Allwinner H6 quad-core Cortex-A53 processor with 2GB RAM, 16GB flash, and running Armbian-built Debian 11 Bullseye 64-bit. If the device looks like a repurposed Android TV box, it is because it is based on the T95 Mini model with one HDMI 2.0 port, USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports, a microSD card slot, a Fast Ethernet port and WiFi 4 wireless connectivity. [...] The Inovato Quadra sells for $29, while the Quadra Plus with WiFi 5, a Bluetooth 4.2 USB adapter, and a 4-port USB hub goes for $39. # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ LeapFive_NB2_quad-core_RISC-V_processor comes_with_GPU,_NPU,_and_DSP⠀⇛ LeapFive NB2 processor is equipped with MIPI DSI and LVDS display interface, dual GbE, USB 3.2/2.0 interfaces, and other peripheral interfaces that make it well-suited to a wide range of applications including Smart Home applications, robotics, industrial gateways, drones, building automation, smart cities, digital signage, medical equipment and more. The 2.5 DMIPS/MHz number from the specifications is the same as the SiFive U74-MC core with Cortex-A55- class performance, so considering the LeapFive NB2 also comes with the SiFive Shield security platform, I would not be surprised if those were indeed U74-MC 64-bit RISC cores. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Android Police ☛ Latest_Android_Auto_update_might_stop_your phone_from_connecting_to_your_car⠀⇛ # ⚓ MakeTech Easier ☛ AGM_Glory_G1S_Android_11_Phone_Review_– Make_Tech_Easier⠀⇛ # ⚓ How_to_Delete_Voicemail_on_Android_(4_EASY_Ways!)_– Gotechtor⠀⇛ # ⚓ XDA ☛ How_to_insert_a_SIM_card_in_your_Android_phone⠀⇛ # ⚓ SlashGear ☛ 37%_Of_People_Wish_This_Discontinued_Android Phone_Would_Make_A_Comeback⠀⇛ * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Web Browsers⠀➾ # § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ How_Firefox’s_Total_Cookie_Protection_and_container extensions_work_together_–_Firefox_Add-ons_Blog⠀⇛ When we recently announced the full public roll-out of Firefox Total Cookie Protection — a new default browser feature that automatically confines cookies to the websites that created them, thus eliminating the most common method that sites use to track you around the web — it raised a question: Do container extensions like Mozilla’s Facebook Container and Multi- Account Containers still serve a purpose, since they similarly perform anti-tracking functions by suppressing cookie trails? In short, yes. Container extensions offer additional benefits even beyond the sweeping new privacy enhancements introduced with Firefox Total Cookie Protection. o § FSFE⠀➾ # ⚓ FSFE ☛ Support_“Public_Money?_Public_Code!”_with_a SharePic⠀⇛ Since the launch of the “Public Money? Public Code!” initiative, it has grown a lot and experienced an increase of support. Now there is a new and fun way of showing your support for “Public Money? Public Code!”. With the new SharePic- Template, everybody can show their support of the campaign. [...] To create your own SharePic is easy. All you need to do is to choose a picture of yourself and go to the SharePic-generator. There you can fill in all the information and your support message and then you are done and the SharePic is ready to go live. Start showing your support of “Public Money? Public Code!” by creating and sharing your own SharePic and most importantly have fun while doing so. Please use #PublicCode for sharing the picture on your favourite social media channel. o § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ # ⚓ Artemiseverfree ☛ This_Program_is_Illegally_Packaged_in_14 Distributions⠀⇛ And this isn’t a targeted dig at parabola. Looking at repology’s list of distributions that package tea, we see Arch in there, Alpine, nixpkgs. It seems like “MIT” is the most common license that distros are listing this as. Everyone seems oblivious to the fact that this binary is a license turducken several times over. (EDIT: it’s 30 minutes after posting and there is now an issue on alpine’s aports about this.) [...] Checking gitea.com/noerw/unidiff-comments, we see that this is actually just a mirror (fork?) of github.com/seletskiy/godiff, just repackaged a bit for go modules. And there’s an open issue on the original repo, by the owner of the unidiff-comments repo on gitea, with no response: [...] o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # § Perl / Raku⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Links ☛ 9_Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Perl_Static Site_Generators_–_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ LinuxLinks, like most modern websites, is dynamic in that content is stored in a database and converted into presentation- ready HTML when readers access the site. While we employ built-in server caching which creates static versions of the site, we don’t generate a full, static HTML website based on raw data and a set of templates. However, sometimes a full, static HTML website is desirable. Because HTML pages are all prebuilt, they load extremely quickly in web browsers. There are lots of other advantages of running a full, static HTML website. # § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Universal_Unix_tool_AWK_gets Unicode_support_•_The_Register⠀⇛ In Unix terms, this news is almost akin to Moses appearing and announcing an amendment to the 10 commandments. AWK, a programming language for analyzing text files, is a core part of the Unix operating system, including Linux, all the BSDs and others. For an OS to be considered POSIX compliant, it must include AWK. AWK first appeared in 1977 and was included in Version 7 UNIX in 1979 – the last version of UNIX from Bell Labs, before AT&T turned it into a commercial product. What is notable about the tool gaining Unicode support is not so much the feature itself, but who wrote it: Canadian computer scientist Brian Kernighan. AWK’s name is an acronym for its three original developers: Turing Award winner Alfred Aho, Peter Weinberger and Brian Kernighan. Professor Kernighan is also the “K” in “K&R C”, as in the original, classic, 1978 book The C Programming Language, written by Professor Kernighan and the late, great Dennis Ritchie. Indeed the book dictated and specified not only a version of the C language, now known as C78, but even an indentation style. Such is its influence that in old Unix hacker circles, the book is sometimes called “the old testament” and the indentation “the one true brace style”. [...] It’s important to remember that software such as Unix are not holy writ, handed down inviolable from historical times. Most of the people that designed, implemented and shaped them are still with us. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ IEEE ☛ The_Bionic-Hand_Arms_Race_–_IEEE_Spectrum⠀⇛ IN JULES VERNE’S 1865 NOVEL From the Earth to the Moon, members of the fictitious Baltimore Gun Club, all disabled Civil War veterans, restlessly search for a new enemy to conquer. They had spent the war innovating new, deadlier weaponry. By the war’s end, with “not quite one arm between four persons, and exactly two legs between six,” these self- taught amputee-weaponsmiths decide to repurpose their skills toward a new projectile: a rocket ship. # ⚓ ACM ☛ Competition_Makes_Big_Datasets_the_Winners⠀⇛ If there is one dataset that has become practically synonymous with deep learning, it is ImageNet. So much so that dataset creators routinely tout their offerings as “the ImageNet of …” for everything from chunks of software source code, as in IBM’s Project CodeNet, to MusicNet, the University of Washington’s collection of labelled music recordings. The main aim of the team at Stanford University that created ImageNet was scale. The researchers recognized the tendency of machine learning models at that time to overfit relatively small training datasets, limiting their ability to handle real- world inputs well. Crowdsourcing the job by recruiting recruiting casual # ⚓ Rlang ☛ How_to_generate_data_from_a_model_–_Part_1_|_R- bloggers⠀⇛ Traditionally, data scientists have built models based on data. This article details how to do the exact opposite i.e. generate data based on a model. This article is first in the series of articles on building data from model. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Education_Secretary_Says_Expect_Student Loan_Announcement_‘Within_the_Next_Week_or_So’⠀⇛ Cardona’s comments to NBC News’ Chuck Todd at the end of a “Meet the Press” interview that mostly focused on the nation’s teacher shortage came as campaigners and progressives in Congress are ramping up pressure on President Joe Biden to support sweeping debt cancellation for all federal borrowers—not just those who make under a certain annual income. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Rugged_fanless_panel_PCs_support_5G_and_Wi- Fi_6⠀⇛ Early this month, Avalue released two panel PC models supporting Intel’s Atom 6000E series processors and Intel’s 11th Gen Core i3/i5/i7 processors. The ARC-1535-B and the ARC-1538-B panel PCs share similar features including up to 32GB of RAM, one 2.5” drive bay and optional 5G and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. According to Avalue’s announcement, the ARC-1535- B integrates Intel’s Atom Elkhart Lake processors while the ARC-1538-B comes with Intel’s 11th Gen Core processors.   # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Soviet-Era_Test_Gear_Defects_To_YouTube⠀⇛ If you want to work on communication gear — especially in the 1960s — you probably wanted a VTVM (a vacuum tube voltmeter), a way to generate frequencies, and a way to measure frequencies and power. The Soviet military had a piece of portable gear that could do all of this, the IK-2, and [msylvain59] shows up how one looked on the outside and the inside in the video below. Be warned, though. The video is hard to stop watching and it runs for over an hour, so plan accordingly. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Knife_Throwing_Machine_Gets_The_Spin_Just Right⠀⇛ Despite how it might appear in bad action movies, throwing a knife and making it stick in a target is no easy feat. Taking inspiration from the aforementioned movies, [Quint] and his son built a magazine-fed knife throwing machine, capable of sticking a knife at any distance within its range. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ A_Teen’s_Journey_Into_the_Internet’s Darkness_and_Back_Again⠀⇛ A yearlong series of articles by The Times has explored how the major risks to adolescents have shifted sharply in recent decades, from drinking, drugs and teen pregnancy to anxiety, depression, self-harm and suicide. The decline in adolescent mental health was underway before the pandemic; now it is a full-blown crisis, affecting young people across economic, racial and gender lines. The trend has coincided with teenagers spending a growing amount of time online, and social media is commonly blamed for the crisis. In a widely covered study in 2021 first reported by The Wall Street Journal, Meta (formerly Facebook) found that 40 percent of girls on Instagram, which Meta owns, reported feeling unattractive because of social comparisons they experienced using the platform. o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Microsoft_is_putting_more_ads_in_Outlook_on_iOS and_Android⠀⇛ Microsoft has started putting more ads in Outlook mobile for iOS and Android in recent months. The change has been rolling out over the past few months and essentially means Microsoft is making it harder for free users to avoid ads in Outlook mobile. # ⚓ PR Web ☛ New_SAFERTOS_Windows_and_Linux_Simulator_from WITTENSTEIN_high_integrity_systems⠀⇛ WITTENSTEIN high integrity systems (WHIS) has introduced the SAFERTOS Windows and Linux Simulator which allows customers to evaluate and prototype certain types of SAFERTOS® application code immediately on their desktop computer, without the need for cross-compiling toolchains or specialist debug hardware. Customers who develop on Linux or Windows workstations can now start work right away. o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Its FOSS ☛ Streaming_Service_Crunchyroll_Blocks_Privacy- Focused_Email_Tutanota_Because_“Hackers_use_it”⠀⇛ Tutanota is an open-source email service that focuses on providing enhanced privacy and security over traditional platforms. It is similar to Proton Mail but more affordable for the masses. However, some users noticed an inconvenience when using Tutanota’s email to sign up for Crunchyroll (a popular streaming service for anime and drama). It did not let them sign up using their Tutanota email. I tried the same, and failed to create an account. [...] So, why is Tutanota banned, even though it is a notable platform? Well, this is not entirely a new phenomenon. DeviantArt actively blocked Proton Mail in the past because spammers used the platform to create accounts. Now, they have unblocked them. # ⚓ LinuxInsider ☛ Coding_Vulnerabilities,_Linux_Growth,_FOSS Friction_Cap_Summer_Highlights [Ed: Linux Foundation and its ilk (i.e. proprietary companies) are actively spreading FUD against "Open Source", which they're merely trying to control. This is little but a FUDfest, hardly a summary of news.]⠀⇛ # ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ Signal_Phone_Numbers_Exposed_in_Twilio Hack [Ed: Clued up people have all along said that phone number requirement in Signal was a disaster waiting to happen, a blunder in the making]⠀⇛ If you were not notified, don’t worry about it. But it does bring up the old question: Why does Signal require a phone number to use? It doesn’t have to be that way. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ India Times ☛ Ford_cuts_3,000_jobs_as_it_pivots_to_a software_future⠀⇛ Ford cuts 3,000 jobs as it pivots to a software future Ford Motor Co said it will cut a total of 3,000 salaried and contract jobs, mostly in North America and India, as it restructures to catch up with Tesla Inc in the race to develop software-driven electric vehicles. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Google_tracks_highest_private_data among_Big_Tech_firms⠀⇛ According to an analysis by StockApps.com, out of the five major digital firms, Google harvests the most data on its users by tracking 39 types of private data for each user. “Most people do not have the time or patience to read privacy policies that can be several pages long for each website they visit. Also, it is quite unlikely that all users have a background in law to properly grasp the privacy policy,” Edith Reads from StockApps.com said in a statement. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ If_You_See_Something,_Say Something®⠀⇛ When I first saw it in New York City, visions of Big Brother and a snitch culture danced in my head, preceded by an eyeroll. In a country in which privacy is denied to most and the government spies on its own citizens with impunity (thanks, Ed Snowden!), it was a natural progression in the continued expansion of the nine-headed hydra that is the surveillance state. # ⚓ Papers Please ☛ “Sobriety_checks”_of_motorists_as pretext_for_ID_checks⠀⇛ The tortured reasoning of the decision, Demarest v. City of Vallejo, No. 20-15872, decided August 16, 2022, hinges on the dubious and self-serving claim by the police that their “intent” wasn’t to use the “sobriety” checkpoint for general law enforcement purposes, that ID checks are an objectively permissible purpose for a checkpoint as long the subjective intent of the police wasn’t to operate a general law enforcement dragnet (as in fact it almost certainly was),  and that the ID checks only minimally delayed most motorists beyond the delay that would have been occasioned by sobriety checks. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Don’t_Wait:_Get_Into_the_Encryption Habit_Now⠀⇛ Police obtained those messages in the usual way: They presented a search warrant to Facebook and the company turned over the data. # ⚓ EFF ☛ Victory:_Government_Finally_Releases_Secretive Court_Rulings_Sought_By_EFF⠀⇛ In addition to reforming the country’s mass surveillance programs, USA FREEDOM required the government to release all significant opinions and orders of the FISC and the secret appeals court, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review (FISC-R). EFF fought to include this provision in the law with the hope that the disclosures would finally allow the public, including civil rights and civil liberties groups, as well as legal scholars, to access court rulings that determine people’s rights to be free from surveillance. # ⚓ EFF ☛ Google’s_Scans_of_Private_Photos_Led_to_False Accusations_of_Child_Abuse⠀⇛ An article published yesterday in the New York Times reports on how Google made two of these false accusations, and the police follow-up. It also highlights Google’s refusal to correct any of the damage done by its erroneous scans, and the company’s failed human review processes.  This type of scanning is increasingly ubiquitous on tech products we all use, and governments around the world want to extend its reach even further, to check even our most private, encrypted conversations. The article is especially disturbing, not just for the harm it describes to the two users Google falsely accused, but also as a warning of potentially many more such mistakes to come.  o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ France24 ☛ France_withdraws_last_soldiers_from_Mali_amid jihadist_resurgence⠀⇛ Despite the elimination of prominent jihadist leaders in the area, France’s withdrawal comes as terrorist violence once again threatens the capital Bamako and spreads well beyond the Sahel. # ⚓ NPR ☛ For_Kashmiris,_resolution_to_decades_of_conflict remains_a_distant_dream⠀⇛ Pakistan was created as a homeland for the Subcontinent’s Muslims when it and India emerged independent from British-ruled India in August 1947. But Kashmir’s Hindu maharaja decided his Muslim-majority princely state would join India after armed tribesman from Pakistan invaded the region in October 1947. A United Nations-brokered cease-fire ended those hostilities in 1949. But over the decades, the two nuclear-armed neighbors have fought other wars over Kashmir and there have been more crises. Today, both India and Pakistan administer some parts of the territory. In India, it’s called Jammu and Kashmir, and in Pakistan, it’s known as Azad (Free) Kashmir. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Biden_Officials_Reportedly_Assure_Israel That_Revived_Iran_Nuclear_Deal_Not_‘Imminent’⠀⇛ Axios’ Barak Ravid reported over the weekend the Biden administration has told Israel that it “hasn’t agreed to new concessions with Iran” and that the U.S., European nations, and Iran are not on the verge of a deal, even after Tehran engaged with and offered its response to what E.U. leaders characterized as a “final” offer. # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Biden_Officials_Reportedly_Assure_Israel_That Revived_Iran_Nuclear_Deal_Not_‘Imminent’⠀⇛ Jake Johnson reports that the Biden administration has told Israel that the U.S., European nations, and Iran are not on the verge of a deal. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ CIA_Report_Finds_No_Proof_for_Israeli_Claim That_Palestinian_NGOs_Are_‘Terrorist’_Groups⠀⇛ “The United States has for too long turned a blind eye, and in some cases even greenlighted, quite serious Israeli government abuses.” # ⚓ Shadowproof ☛ Interview_With_National_Security_Journalist William_Arkin:_FBI_Faces_Brewing_Political_Disaster_After Mar-a-Lago_Raid⠀⇛ In 2019, longtime national security journalist William Arkin appeared on “Democracy Now!” and spoke out against liberals in the United States who believed the FBI (and CIA) could save the country from President Donald Trump. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Zelensky_threatens_to_refuse_negotiations_with Russia_if_“trial”_of_POWs_is_held_in_Mariupol_—_Meduza⠀⇛ In a video address on August 22, 2022, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine will abandon negotiations with Russia forever if a trial of Ukrainian prisoners of war is held in Mariupol. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Bruce_Gagnon_Interview:_An_Objective_Look at_U.S._Foreign_Policy⠀⇛ We focus on the realities of the international power struggle unfolding in real time, specifically addressing the role of the U.S. in the tensions and its capacity to reduce them. We are looking for paradigm-shift ideas for improving the prospects for peace. His responses below of are exactly as he provided. # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Daughter_of_Putin_Ally_Killed_in_Car_Blast Outside_of_Moscow⠀⇛ Daria Dugina was the daughter of Alexander Dugin, the Russian nationalist and philosopher. She was driving his car when an explosive device detonated underneath the vehicle, she was burned beyond r… o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ VOA News ☛ Study:_Already_Shrunk_by_Half,_Swiss_Glaciers Melting_Faster⠀⇛ ETH Zurich, a respected federal polytechnic university, and the Swiss Federal Institute on Forest, Snow and Landscape Research on Monday announced the findings from a first-ever reconstruction of ice loss in Switzerland in the 20th century, based in part on an analysis of changes to the topography of glaciers since 1931. The researchers estimated that ice volumes on the glaciers had shrunk by half over the subsequent 85 years — until 2016. Since then, the glaciers have lost an additional 12%, over just six years. # ⚓ Mexico News Daily ☛ Conservationist_urges_Mexico_adopt ‘blue_label’_standard_to_protect_vaquita⠀⇛ Rojas-Bracho observed that the “blue market” for sustainable seafood is already well developed in the United States and Europe. But the same can’t be said about Mexico. However, the conservationist believes there is an opportunity to develop a sustainable seafood market that is a source of national pride. According to the Marine Stewardship Council, four Mexican fisheries are already MSC certified: a red lobster fishery, two small open sea fisheries and a tuna fishery. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Ghost_Dancing_Toward_the_Edge⠀⇛ Of course all this is quite consistent with the predictions of climate scientists, largely ignored for decades now. Perhaps owing to what climatologist James Hansen has labeled “scientific reticence” however, the increasingly alarming cascade of events is showing up earlier than predicted. We apparently have less time than we thought. # § Energy⠀➾ # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Is_There_Enough_Metal_to_Replace Oil?⠀⇛ However, a recent study puts a damper on the prospects of phasing out fossil fuels in favor of renewables. More to the point, a phase out of fossil fuels by mid century looks to be a nearly impossible Sisyphean task. It’s all about quantities of minerals/ metals contained in Mother Earth. There aren’t enough. # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Google_injects_$1.4m_to_fund Mandai_Nature’s_conservation_projects_to_tackle_climate change⠀⇛ An open-source mapping tool of South-east Asia’s swaths of rainforests, mangroves, seagrass and peatlands will be developed to help nature conservation group Mandai Nature identify carbon-rich areas rife with biodiversity that can be conserved to mitigate climate change. This is part of a $1.4 million injection by Google’s philanthropic arm Google.org, its first sustainability fund. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Fetterman_Calls_for_Prosecution_of Corporate_Executives_‘Gouging_Consumers’⠀⇛ “Take the massive oil companies, for example,” the Democratic candidate wrote in an op-ed for the Pennsylvania Times Leader. “Chevron, Exxon, and Shell have seen their profits increase 200% since last year, but they’re still charging us sky-high prices for gas. Companies like Tyson posted over a billion dollars in profits last quarter, while raising prices on meat products our families depend on.” # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Student_Debt_and_Assault_Vehicles⠀⇛ My former student Adam works as hard as anyone I’ve ever met. His Vietnam war veteran father left him just enough to finally pay off his student debt for his degrees at a public university in Oregon. His mother worked so hard and was underpaid, never managing to save much though she did an excellent job as a college office staffer, serving both students and (far higher paid) professors. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Inflation:_Where_Are_We_Now?⠀⇛ In this respect, it is worth noting Gross Domestic Income (GDI) grew at a 1.8 percent annual rate in the first quarter. In principle, GDI should be the same as GDP, since it is just measuring the income side of the GDP equation. While the two measures never measure up exactly, the size of the divergence in the first quarter was extraordinary. This is consistent with the view that GDP for the quarter may be revised upward. (We don’t have GDI data for the second quarter yet.) o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Variety ☛ Elon_Musk_Subpoenas_Twitter_Co-Founder_Jack Dorsey,_Seeking_Documents_About_Bots_and_Fake_Accounts⠀⇛ Elon Musk, in a new bid to bolster the claim that he has the right to walk away from his $44 billion bid for Twitter, issued a subpoena to Jack Dorsey, co-founder and former CEO of Twitter. Through the subpoena, revealed Monday in a court filing, the world’s richest individual is hoping to turn up evidence Dorsey may possess about how the social company has measured bot and spam accounts. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Smoke_and_Mirrors⠀⇛ Historians tracing the origins of neoliberalism generally point to Vienna and Geneva in the 1920s and ’30s and then to the advent of the Mont Pelerin Society in 1947, which brought together a number of economists and philosophers—Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, Karl Popper, and Milton Friedman, among others—who were interested in reviving market values in the face of what they saw as the failure of numbing, heavy-handed state-regulated and state- directed economies, whether fascist, socialist, or social democratic. Gerstle acknowledges these origins but suggests an even deeper connection to the classical liberalism of the 19th century, arguing that, like liberalism itself, neoliberalism is best understood as “a series of ideational and institutional moments varying in form and meaning” and energized by “clusters” of policy initiatives, so that it has no single definition. # ⚓ Antipope ☛ The_gathering_crisis⠀⇛ This is about the gathering crisis in the UK, not any other crisis-hit nation. Here is a compendium of the firehose of dismay that’s been blasting me in the face for the past couple of weeks. Share and enjoy! And feel free to use the comment thread to discuss what’s coming next for the UK as the vector sum of Brexit, COVID19, the energy crisis from the Ukraine war, and the worst inflationary bubble since 1980 punches us in the face. First, Europe is in the grip of the worst drought in 500 years. England is officially in drought too, and the potato, onion, and carrot crops are all expected to fail, with potato yields in particular down 50%. (Before we mention Brexit crippling exports of Scottish seed potatoes to the EU.) Boris Johnson is still Prime Minister for a couple more weeks, but is treating his remaining time in office—since his resignation was announced—as garden leave: he’s been holidaying in Greece. However, he refused to hand over the reins to Deputy PM Dominic Raab in the meantime. The rash of ministerial resignations that led to Johnson’s resignation has left a number of portfolios vacant, with no successors appointed. In effect, Johnson’s executive team downed tools and walked out, leaving the building empty. In consequence, government business is being blocked or ignored, as the worst crisis in 50 years bears down on the nation. [...] (It’s not just Citi; the Bank of England are forecasting 13% inflation towards the end of the year.) This is probably going to lead to a Sterling crisis, which won’t help—Sterling is currently close to its ten year low against the US Dollar (it’s only been lower in mid-March 2020, when the UK abruptly slammed into lockdown). Small businesses are already folding as their energy contracts raise prices by 400-1000% for the next year: there are worries about care homes being unable to keep their residents warm. 8% of businesses already report that price increases to date threaten their viability, but worse is to come. [...] Brexit hasn’t delivered trade opportunities, but mountains of red tape, with a hit to the economy estimated at roughly 6% so far. But the UK economy already shrank 11% in 2020, the worst year since 1709. [...] I have no idea what comes next. We are clearly seeing the usual disaster capitalists haul out the usual nostrums for “curing” the ailments of economic shocks, as described in The Shock Doctrine. [...] The health service is in crisis. Inflation is wiping out pensions and savings. A general strike seems possible by the end of the year, something that hasn’t hit the UK since 1926. [...] This is the sort of crisis that brings down nations. # ⚓ Politico ☛ Faltering_French_connection_leaves_UK_fearing winter_blackouts⠀⇛ Britain’s largest manufacturers and goods exporters are braced for a torrid winter of sky-high energy bills and potential plant shutdowns as the fallout from Europe’s energy crisis bites. Soaring energy prices mean many businesses critical to driving post-Brexit exports simply will not survive the coming winter, several industry groups told POLITICO, while others will be forced to jack up prices significantly to stay afloat. Most worryingly, major industrial sectors believe U.K. firms can no longer depend on the certainty of energy imports from Europe this winter — increasing the risk of both planned and uncontrolled blackouts. [...] Uncontrolled blackouts would be far more damaging to heavy industry than the organized shutdowns envisaged in the government’s worst-case scenario planning, due to “the risk to life and assets and damage,” the person added, if industrial equipment is shut off unexpectedly. Even a slightly increased risk of this happening is “intolerable,” they said. The industrialist warned that the U.K.’s National Grid power network assumes in its winter outlook that “even on the coldest day, or the day with the highest demand,” Britain can always rely on “an influx of electricity via interconnectors on the continent.” Yet these interconnectors link the U.K. to France — which, like much of Europe, is currently suffering its own large-scale energy crisis — along with the Netherlands and Belgium. # ⚓ CoryDoctorow ☛ Pluralistic:_19_Aug_2022_Business_Roundtable vs_Humanity_–_Pluralistic:_Daily_links_from_Cory_Doctorow⠀⇛ Three years ago to the date, the Business Roundtable unveiled its “Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation” – a commitment by its 200 member- CEOs and companies to protect the environment. Then they spent three years and millions of dollars lobbying against that goal. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Opinion_|_NYC:_Slightly_Less_Silly_Than California⠀⇛ New York City has a new video brimming with can-do optimism about how the public can keep it together after the city is hit with a nuclear weapon. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Right-Wing_Dark_Money_Group_Gets_$1.6 Billion_Donation_From_Tax-Dodging_Business_Mogul⠀⇛ The enormous infusion of cash, first reported Monday by the New York Times, could bolster and embolden right-wing efforts to drag the U.S. judicial and political systems even further to the right for decades to come, imperiling the climate, what’s left of abortion rights, the franchise, and other freedoms that have come under growing threat from the GOP and conservative judges. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ The_Opaque_Pacific:_Fiji’s_Maritime Essential_Services_Centre⠀⇛ In the case of the latest developments in Fiji, Australia is now playing a murky role in funding a proposed defence facility in Lami, though Canberra is keen to eschew the military intent.  While there was much fuss kicked up about the Chinese not consulting the good people of the Solomon Islands about a possible military base, the residents of Lami were certainly kept in the dark about the construction of the Maritime Essential Services Centre (MESC), with Australian money, that will be located close to their homes. # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Patrick_Lawrence:_The_British_“Bubble_of Unreality”⠀⇛ # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ The_Chris_Hedges_Report:_Psychology_of_a Klansman⠀⇛ In a new book about the Ku Klux Klan’s 1966 murder of Black civil rights activist Vernon Dahmer, author Curtis Wilkie offers insights into the psychology of white supremacists relevant to our curre… # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Political_Racism_in_Germany⠀⇛ Historically, political racism has its roots in the ideological hallucination that there is superior western knowledge, science, and culture which insinuates that there is an accompanying superiority of the white man and his white culture. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ The_Government_Wants_to_Silence_the Opposition⠀⇛ This is the language of force. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ South_Africa:_the_Politics_of_Death⠀⇛ Massacres also mark breaks in international consciousness. “The murders of Sharpeville”, Frantz Fanon wrote in 1961, “shook public opinion for months. In the newspapers, over the wavelengths, and in private conversations Sharpeville has become a symbol. It was through Sharpeville that men and women first became acquainted with the problem of apartheid in South Africa”. The repression of the Soweto Uprising was an even greater shock to international complacency. The massacre at Marikana largely put an end to the remaining confidence in the ANC on the international left making it easier for autonomous organizations to build solidarity across borders. # § Misinformation/Disinformation⠀➾ # ⚓ France24 ☛ How_to_verify_a_photo_online_and_fight_the spread_of_misinformation⠀⇛ Unfortunately, people who spread “fake news” also understand the power of a photo. To generate a maximum number of clicks (and therefore money), some people manipulate or misappropriate photos that have nothing to do with the topic in question… just to get your attention. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ France24 ☛ ‘Free_in_speech_but_imprisoned_when_moving’:_A look_at_writers_facing_death_threats⠀⇛ The British police and MI5 had protected Rushdie in a string of safehouses for nine years, ever since the declaration of the Iranian fatwa on February 14, 1989 because his novel The Satanic Verses was deemed offensive to Islam. FRANCE 24 takes a look at several other writers facing death threats. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Opinion_|_The_Villainous_Attack_on_Salman Rushdie_and_What_It_Says_(and_Doesn’t_Say)_about_Islam⠀⇛ The despicable violent attack on Salman Rushdie not only saddened the world, many Muslims included, it demonstrated how a single ignorant attacker could take Ayatollah Khomeini’s fatwa seriously—when the vast majority of Islamic scholars around the world never have—and reanimate the same old tropes about Islam. Under Islamic law, the attack on Rushdie was assault and attempted murder, and as such Muslims overwhelmingly condemn this attack. If they don’t, they should, because, despite the common perception, Islam allows violence only in self- defense or in legitimate warfare against soldiers. # ⚓ ABC ☛ Minions:_The_Rise_of_Gru_gets_a_whole_new_ending courtesy_of_China’s_censors⠀⇛ The editing is yet another example of Chinese authorities altering a popular Hollywood film to make it more politically correct. According to posts and screenshots from the movie shared on Weibo, a social media platform similar to Twitter, censors tacked on an addendum in which Wild Knuckles, a main character in the heist film, was caught by police and served 20 years in jail. # ⚓ The Independent UK ☛ Chinese_film_censors_‘alter_ending_of Minions:_The_Rise_of_Gru’⠀⇛ The film’s alternative ending has been mocked by viewers, some of whom compare the addendum to a PowerPoint presentation. The Independent has reached out to China Film Co., one of the film’s Chinese distributors, for comment. # ⚓ Daniel Miessler ☛ Supporting_Sam_Harris_on_Company_Autonomy –_Daniel_Miessler⠀⇛ The internet’s gone a bit crazy about Sam Harris supposedly supporting censorship. As in most cases, a careful review of the source material reveals this not to be true. I can’t say for sure if we perfectly align on the grey areas. Because it appears I almost perfectly align with Sam on this, I’m going to give and defend my own perspective on this topic. The source material in question seems to have been the Triggernometry Podcast where Sam appeared recently. The pivotal quote was something like, “There was a liberal conspiracy to keep Trump out of office and that was ok.” This melted the minds of the hosts, and Sam quickly explained the meaning of his comment. Note: he didn’t retract it; he explained it. [...] Twitter isn’t just one twitter among many. It’s the only one. Or one of very few anyway. Censorship is supposed to only apply to the government disallowing things, but in our changing reality it’s starting to arguably become “that with overwhelming force”. That would still include government of course, but it would also encompass bigger things like “the media” or monopolistic media platforms, like Twitter. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ NPR ☛ Arkansas_officers_were_suspended_after_video_on social_media_shows_a_police_beating⠀⇛ Three law enforcement officers in Crawford County, Arkansas, have been placed on leave after a video shared on social media shows them beating and restraining a man in a parking lot. State police will investigate the incident, the governor said. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ The_Age_of_Hypocrisies⠀⇛ Nothing wrong with protests over what looks like a nasty bit of Russian hostage taking, but not a word yet from the White House about an equally appalling case closer to home. This took place in Mississippi where the Supreme Court upheld in June a life sentence without parole for a man called Allen Russel who was convicted of possessing 43.71 grams of marijuana. On any given day, 374,000 Americans are in prison or jail for drug offences, often of the most minor kind. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ More_Americans_Than_Ever_Rate_Themselves_as ‘Suffering’_in_New_Survey⠀⇛ Since 2008, the polling firm has measured Americans’ quality of life by asking them to rate their lives on a scale of 0 to 10. This month, for the first time since Gallup began asking the question, more than 5% of respondents—5.6%, to be exact—gave their lives and circumstances a rating of 4 or lower. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Miami_PD_Shoots_The_Messenger,_Says_It_Will Punish_Cop_For_Complaining_About_Other_Cops’_Unsafe_Driving⠀⇛ Why do bad cops stay employed for years while good cops find themselves out of their jobs? The answer will not surprise you. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ How_Sonia_Sotomayor_Became_the_Conscience_of the_Supreme_Court⠀⇛ While the rest of the country was reeling from the Supreme Court’s decision in June to take away the right to abortion, Justice Sonia Maria Sotomayor was working. As her conservative colleagues planned victory tours and dinners at Morton’s, Sotomayor crafted dissents. She and her team of clerks worked to the last moment of the court’s term, laying out a case against the conservatives’ manipulation of laws and perversion of justice. And she did this despite the fact that the cases on which she was laboring may never even make it to the Supreme Court of the United States. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ EFF ☛ New_Proposal_Brings_Us_a_Step_Closer_to_Net Neutrality⠀⇛ Tell the Senate to Fully Staff the FCC o § Monopolies⠀➾ # § Trademarks⠀➾ # ⚓ BBC ☛ Usain_Bolt_moves_to_trademark_signature_victory pose⠀⇛ He intends to use the image on items including clothing, jewellery and shoes, as well as restaurants and sports bars, the filing shows. * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal⠀➾ # ⚓ The_Life_Riparian⠀⇛ Yesterday we spent the whole day playing in a mountain stream. We’ve had a chance to play in such streams more this summer, and consequently it has made me feel a homesickness I haven’t felt for a long time. I grew up in a small town surrounded by mountainous wilderness to the north, east, and west. A small creek ran through our backyard, and other similar creeks slithered through the manzanita chaparral and the oak and gray pine forests of the foothills where we lived. Even more creeks and rivers flowed out of the great mountain ranges that surrounded our modest riparian home. Swimming in these waterways was what summer was for us, and the dried up ones, like the one that ran behind our house, became passages leading to homes of neighbors and friends. o § Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Summer_holidays⠀⇛ I’ve been wondering about the meaning of burnout. I don’t think we have burnouts at my employer of about 450 people, mostly developers. My wife, on the other hand, knows countless examples in public administration. My current hypothesis is that burnout needs to be understood on multiple levels. The easiest level is the individual level, at least superficially: it’s a medical emergency and I leave it up to the professionals to help victims recover. Sick leave, mandatory holidays, whatever it takes to break out of the hamster wheel of work and realign yourself with our humanity. I guess I am an existentialists at heart: all we know is that we are going to die eventually and every worth happening needs to happen before that. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ RocketCaster_Update:_Listen_Over_Gemini⠀⇛ RocketCaster can now act as a proxy to listen to podcast episodes through. Up until now you’ve had to open the episode link in a web browser or a program like mpv to download or stream it, but now you can do that over gemini instead. Direct web links to episodes are still available in case you still prefer those. # § Programming⠀➾ # ⚓ Trendy_Programming_Languages⠀⇛ I once worked at a job so hopelessly dysfunctional that employees advocated openly for pursuing tools and projects to polish their resumes. I understand now, years later, that this sort of thing is broadly applicable within the industry but speaking openly about it at work seemed odd. It was in this setting that I picked up Clojure. It isn’t my favorite lisp and I wouldn’t really advocate using it but it was fine. Having some experience with what was at the time a new and exciting language really did wonders for my job prospects and shortly after I job hopped to a role that required I learn Scala. Having experience in a functional language on the JVM made me a good candidate I guess. The work was on an ill- conceived project that stemmed from one individual’s personal career goals. I know this for a fact because they quit after implementing enough of the project and began contracting with the same team and project at astronomical rates. My boss complained bitterly and didn’t do anything to fix the issue except hire me. Scala was dreadful but I’m not sure it wasn’t just this project. Still, I would never use it again and I actively avoid projects using it. [...] By this point, through no real fault of my own, my resume is starting to look very trendy. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

The most popular desktop environments no longer look stuck in the 90s. While you may still need technical knowledge to install Linux, you no longer need to be a computer whiz to use it afterward. This change has happened gradually, so here is a compilation of some specific ways the Linux desktop experience has changed over the past decade. [...] The Linux desktop has changed over time, but increasingly the Linux desktop is only part of the story. Various Linux desktop environments are now appearing on smartphones and tablets. They’re not yet ready to go toe- to-toe with their proprietary counterparts, but progress is happening, and devices like the PinePhone Pro come with Linux pre-installed. o § Desktop/Laptop⠀➾ # ⚓ ZDNet ☛ Cool_things_you_can_do_with_the_Linux_desktop_that you_can’t_do_with_MacOS_or_Windows_|_ZDNET⠀⇛ I’ve been a Linux user since 1997, and I am here to tell you that the open-source desktop operating system is not only so much more flexible, reliable, and secure than the competition, but it’s also a lot more fun. I’ve spent many a day (and weekend) tweaking the Linux desktop simply because I could. Some of the desktops I’ve configured have been so amazing that friends wanted to know how they could achieve the same look, only to be disappointed that their operating system of choice wasn’t capable of pulling off such a feat. To that end, I wanted to share some of the really cool things that you can do with the Linux desktop that you can’t do with other operating systems. My goal is to not only convince you that Linux is a really incredible operating system but hopefully to convince you to give it a try. [...] Linux just works. It really is that simple. But more importantly, it works and works and works. So, if you’re looking for a way to put the fun, flexibility, ease of use, and reliability back into computing, do yourself a favor and give Linux a try. # ⚓ Liliputing ☛ StarBook_Mk_VI_is_a_Linux_laptop_with_up_to Core_i7-1260P_or_Ryzen_7_5800U_–_Liliputing⠀⇛ The latest version of the StarBook Linux laptop from UK-based Star Labs is a 14 inch notebook that’s available with a choice of Intel and AMD processor options. But what sets the new StarBook Mk VI apart from the Mk V model that launched earlier this year is that customers who opt for an Intel processor will now get a 28-watt, 12th-gen Intel Alder Lake-P processor rather than an 11th- gen Core U-series chip. The StarBook Mk VI is up for pre-order for $884 and up, and should begin shipping around the end of September. o § Server⠀➾ # ⚓ Granulate_Tool_Automatically_Rightsizes_Kubernetes Workloads [Ed: Puff piece for proprietary software]⠀⇛ Next month, Granulate will add a free gMaestro tool to its existing portfolio of tools for optimizing workloads on Kubernetes clusters. The new tool makes it possible to reduce overprovisioning of infrastructure by automatically rightsizing workloads. This addition is the first extension to the company’s portfolio since Granulate became a unit of Intel earlier this year. o § Videos/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ Video ☛ Neptune_OS_7.5_Run_Through_–_Invidious⠀⇛ In this video, we are looking at Neptune OS 7.5. # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ Neptune_OS_7.5⠀⇛ Today we are looking at Neptune OS 7.5. It is based on Debian 11, uses Linux Kernel 5.18, KDE Plasma 5.20, and uses about 1GB of ram when idling. Enjoy! # ⚓ Video ☛ 10_Commandments_For_A_Good_Linux_Citizen_– Invidious⠀⇛ Are you good and helpful linux user? Maybe you are maybe you aren’t but today we’re going to go over 10 commandments you should follow to be a good linux user. # ⚓ Late_Night_Linux_–_Episode_191⠀⇛ Playing with Arduinos, a 1337 h4x0r tool, ChromeOS Flex, a proprietary software win, whether open- sourcing AI makes sense, and more. # ⚓ Tux Digital ☛ 291:_Interview_with_System76′s_Jax_Johnson_– Destination_Linux_–_TuxDigital⠀⇛ This week’s episode of Destination Linux, we’re going to be talking with Jax from System76. Jax is going to give us the run down of what System76 is up to next. Plus, we have our tips/tricks and software picks. All this and more coming up right now on Destination Linux to keep those penguins marching! o § Kernel Space⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Linux_Foundation_TAB_election:_call_for_nominees [Ed: Technical Advisory Board (TAB) is already infiltrated by Microsoft]⠀⇛ The 2022 election for members of the Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board (TAB) will be held during the Linux Plumbers Conference, September 12 to 14. The TAB represents the kernel- development community to the Linux Foundation (and beyond) and holds a seat on the Foundation’s board of directors. The call for nominees for this year’s election has gone out; the deadline for nominations is September 12. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Every_Time_Your_Data_Is_Sent_to_Google,_This_Linux_Add-on Beeps_to_Warn_You⠀⇛ The add-on was created by Bert Hubert, a software developer and a member of a Dutch oversight board. It sources information from publically available Google IP addresses, which is what sets off the beeps. It’s scarier than it has any right being. As you can hear by listening along to the example video above (which uses the Dutch government jobs website), as Hubert types into the search bar in Google Chrome, the system beeps and makes noises. What that means is that Google is collecting data on your keystrokes in the address bar (which it does). This is part of what informs the autofill prompts when using Google Chrome. But there’s more to the video. As Hubert arrives on the page, we hear a beep. As he clicks any listings on the page, we hear a beep. Additionally, after putting up the video testing the add-on with Google Chrome’s data collection, Hubert put up this test using Firefox. The machine continues to beep. [...] You can install Googerteller on Linux-based operating systems, though a Twitter user claimed that they got it working on MacOS. # ⚓ Linux Shell Tips ☛ NeoMutt_–_A_Command_Line_Mail_Reader_ (MUA)_for_Linux⠀⇛ As per the humorous abstract quote from the creator of the NeoMutt e-mail client (Michael Elkins), all e-mail clients suck but the NeoMutt e-mail client just happens to suck less. The use of e-mail clients in our day-to-day transaction/exchange of email messages is something that has transformed into a permanent culture. Right now, it is possible to carry on with one’s daily activities without worrying about text messages. However, when it comes to e-mail addresses, the urge to access our mailboxes is like an unstoppable itch. For most Linux users, whose personal work and projects revolve around a personal computer, their mailbox is one web browser tab away. Also, these same Linux users tend to spend most of their productive time in a command-line environment. [...] This article will walk us through the installation and basic usage of the NeoMutt command-line mail reader in Linux. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ How_to_install_Minetest_5.6.0_on_a Chromebook⠀⇛ Today we are looking at how to install Minetest 5.6.0 or newer on a Chromebook.

Within the file selection menus, users can customise their downloads at the level of individual files. Transmission also seeds, that is, it will automatically share downloaded content. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Kdenlive_22.08_Video_Editing_App_Is_Here with_a_Whole_Host_of_Improvements⠀⇛ Kdenlive 22.08 video editor brings user interface improvements, improved audio recording experience, global subtitle styling, and more. Kdenlive, a non-linear and cross-platform app that allows you to create compelling video content for free, is one of the most robust free video editors on Linux. Non-linear means that editing can be done in any order without overwriting the source media files. Most video processing is done by the MLT Framework, which relies on many other open source projects like FFmpeg, frei0r, movit, ladspa, sox, etc. The editor’s flexibility appeals to new users, while the advanced features provide a wide range of professional uses. In addition, Kdenlive also includes a wealth of online resources, such as title templates, wipes, render profiles, and so on. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § PCLinuxOS/Mageia/Mandriva/OpenMandriva Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Checklist_for_people_testing_ROME_(Rolling)_Tech_Preview⠀⇛ We have a checklist that is a Work In Progress but I believe is useful right now. One could use the checklist and fill out the elements one can answer. Then rename the checklist with your nick or handle in place of nickname_checklist, and post in this forum. o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ SUSE’s Corporate Blog ☛ Microsoft_and_SUSE_help_Transform Business_Productivity_with_High_Availability_Solutions [Ed: Novell is back, and it's working for criminals]⠀⇛ o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ podman-compose_in_RHEL8_|_IT-Hure⠀⇛ If you are – like me – running podman-compose from EPEL in RHEL8 and running into the error message “invalid config provided: extra host entries must be specified on the pod: network cannot be configured when it is shared with a pod” the problem is a incompatibility between the very old version of podman-compose in EPEL8 and podman 4.1. o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Diziet ☛ diziet_|_prefork-interp_–_automatic_startup_time amortisation_for_all_manner_of_scripts⠀⇛ Since the update to current Debian stable, the website for YARRG, (a play-aid for Puzzle Pirates which I wrote some years ago), started to occasionally return “Internal Server Error”, apparently due to bug(s) in some FastCGI libraries. I was using FastCGI because the website is written in Mason, a Perl web framework, and I found that Mason CGI calls were slow. I’m using CGI – yes, trad CGI – via userv-cgi. Running Mason this way would “compile” the template for each HTTP request just when it was rendered, and then throw the compiled version away. The more modern approach of an application server doesn’t scale well to a system which has many web “applications” most of which are very small. The admin overhead of maintaining a daemon, and corresponding webserver config, for each such “service” would be prohibitive, even with some kind of autoprovisioning setup. FastCGI has an interpreter wrapper which seemed like it ought to solve this problem, but it’s quite inconvenient, and often flaky. I decided I could do better, and set out to eliminate FastCGI from my setup. The result seems to be a success; once I’d done all the hard work of writing prefork-interp, I found the result very straightforward to deploy. # ⚓ Team_Roles_and_Tuckman’s_Model,_for_Debian_teams_– jwiltshire.org.uk⠀⇛ When I first moved from being a technical consultant to a manager of other consultants, I took a 5-day course Managing Technical Teams – a bootstrap for managing people within organisations, but with a particular focus on technical people. We do have some particular quirks, after all… Two elements of that course keep coming to mind when doing Debian work, and they both relate to how teams fit together and get stuff done. [...] There are all sort of teams in Debian – those which are formally brought into operation by the DPL or the constitution; package maintenance teams; public relations teams; non-technical content teams; special interest teams; and a whole heap of others. Teams can be formal and informal, fleeting or long- lived, two people working together or dozens. But the all have in common the Tuckman stages of their development and the Belbin team roles they need to fill to flourish. At some stage in their existence, they will all experience new or departing team members and a period of re-forming, norming and storming – perhaps fleetingly, perhaps not. And at some stage they will all need someone to step into a team role, play the part and get the team one step further towards their goals. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ The_Fridge:_Ubuntu_Weekly_Newsletter_Issue_749⠀⇛ # ⚓ Ubuntu_Weekly_Newsletter_Issue_749⠀⇛ Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue 749 for the week of August 14 – 20, 2022. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux_adds_drivers_for_pureLiFi ⠀⇛ The organization that updates the Linux operating system has added software drivers to support Li-Fi from pureLiFi, which could bring pureLiFi closer to embedding technology in smartphones, tablets, and other devices. The Android operating system, popular on phones, is based on Linux. “This marks the first time a major operating system has included a Li-Fi driver in an upgrade,” pureLiFi CEO Alistair Banham said in a recent press release from the Edinburgh, Scotland–based company Li-Fi pioneer. “This is another great endorsement for Li-Fi and signals a growing maturity and interest in Li-Fi for broader use.” [...] “The addition of Li-Fi in the Linux kernel is just the beginning,” Banham said. “We look forward to driving the adoption of Li-Fi and the inclusion of pureLiFi drivers in more operating systems. This is another important milestone in our journey to connecting everything and everyone with Li-Fi.” # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ AI,_computer_vision_meet_LoRaWAN_with SenseCAP_K1100_sensor_prototype_kit_–_CNX_Software⠀⇛ In the first part of SenseCAP K1100 review/tutorial we connected various sensors to the Wio Terminal board and transmitted the data wirelessly through the LoRa-E5 LoRaWAN module after setting the frequency band for Thailand (AS923). In the second part, we’ll connect the Grove Vision AI module part of the SenseCAP K1100 sensor prototype kit to the Wio Terminal in order to train models to capture faces and display the results from the camera on the computer. and evaluate the results of how accurate the Face detection Model is. Finally, we’ll send the data (e.g. confidence) using the LoRa-E5 module to a private LoRaWAN IoT Platform system. # ⚓ Liliputing ☛ Lilbits:_Raspberry_Pi_Zero-like_mini_PCs compared,_RP2040_microcontroller_overclocked,_and_reducing the_wait_time_for_Purism’s_Librem_5_Linux_smartphones⠀⇛ The Raspberry Pi Zero and Raspberry Pi Zero 2 are incredibly small, cheap, and versatile single-board computers… but in a time of global supply chain shortages, they’re also kind of hard to get your hands on these days. But there are also a growing number of other tiny PCs competing in this space. And Bret Weber has managed to assemble a bunch of them and run a series of performance tests that may help you decide which best meets your needs. [...] In other Raspberry Pi-related news, there’s a new adapter that lets you use a Raspberry Pi Zero as if it were a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3, and a Raspberry Pi intern wanted to find out what happened if you overclocked a RP2040. The results are both impressive and potentially destructive. # ⚓ Arduino ☛ Building_an_electronic_pantograph_with_Hall effect_sensors_|_Arduino_Blog⠀⇛ A pantograph is a machine that lets an artist copy an image by tracing the original. Traditional mechanical pantographs use a complex linkage system to move the output pen relative to the stylus. While 1:1 pantographs do serve a purpose, the real value comes from a pantograph’s ability to scale the output. It is possible to create an output drawing several times the size of the traced image and also to do the opposite, which is particularly useful for fine engraving work. Mechanical pantographs are now niche machines, but this tutorial will walk you through how to build an electronic pantograph using an Arduino and Hall effect sensors. Hall effect sensors detect the presence of a magnetic field and engineers often use them as proximity sensors. For example, security systems use Hall effect sensors to detect when a door closes or opens. But Hall effect sensors also detect the magnitude of the magnetic field, which means they are useful for more than binary proximity detection. In this case, two 49E linear Hall effect sensors in the joints of the pantograph’s tracing arms monitor rotational angle. Those connect to an Arduino Nano board as analog inputs so the Arduino can monitor the magnitude of the magnetic fields and determine the angle of each joint. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Web Browsers⠀➾ # § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Firefox_104_Released_with_Tweaks_to Reduce_Battery_Usage_When_Idle_–_OMG!_Ubuntu!⠀⇛ As sure as the sun rises and sets, so a new version of the Mozilla Firefox web browser emerges every four weeks. And lo, Firefox 104 is ready for release. Before we look at what’s new, a quick word to those of you hoping to hear that Firefox’s new Linux touchpad gestures are enabled out- of-the-box: they’re now. But, as in Firefox 103, you can enable the Wayland-compatible feature yourself via the about:config section. Usual caveats apply. On to what is included in Firefox 104… If there’s a “headline” change to be found in this release it’s that performance of the main Firefox UI itself is now “throttled” when the browser is minimised or obscured, in much the same way background tabs are. This, Mozilla devs say, should help to improve battery usage of the browser when running on laptops and similar. o § Content Management Systems (CMS)⠀➾ # ⚓ UNIX Cop ☛ Substack_vs._Ghost:_Which_is_the_Better_Platform for_Independent_Writers?_–_Unix_/_Linux_the_admins Tutorials⠀⇛ With numerous content management systems (CMSs) available, it can be challenging to choose the best one. If you’re an independent writer or blogger and looking to start your website, two of the most popular solutions are; Ghost and Substack. The article will give you an overview of what Ghost and Substack offer and compare the pros and cons of each platform so you can make an informed decision on which one to choose. Many bloggers and business owners have decided to go with Ghost because of its clean design and intuitive functionality, but there are alternatives worth considering before settling on the platform that’s right for you. [...] Ghost, however, requires you to have technical knowledge because it is open-source software that needs to be installed on your web hosting. o § GNU Projects⠀➾ # ⚓ GNU ☛ GNU_Parallel_20220822_('Rushdie')_released_ [Savannah]⠀⇛ GNU Parallel 20220822 (‘Rushdie’) has been released. It is available for download at: lbry:// @GnuParallel:4 [...] GNU Parallel – For people who live life in the parallel lane. If you like GNU Parallel record a video testimonial: Say who you are, what you use GNU Parallel for, how it helps you, and what you like most about it. Include a command that uses GNU Parallel if you feel like it. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ ELinux ☛ Clear_out_MySql/MariaDB_binary_log_files⠀⇛ This is due to the excesive binary logs which are generated by database server. From MariaDB documentation – The binary log contains a record of all changes to the databases, both data and structure, as well as how long each statement took to execute. It consists of a set of binary log files and an index. It is required to periodically clear out those logs to avoid runninng into the problem of No space left on device. # ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Associative_arrays_in_Nim⠀⇛ One thing that I like very much about BaCon is the simple implementation of associative arrays: https://www.basic-converter.org/ documentation.html#ASSOCIATIVE_ARRAYS At first glance, I could not see that capability in Nim, and a search came up with something about using tables — and the example given was unclear. # § Perl / Raku⠀➾ # ⚓ Perl ☛ Introducing_Venus,_a_new_world_for_Perl_5_|_Al Newkirk_[blogs.perl.org]⠀⇛ Programming in Perl is choices all the way down. Perl is a multi-paradigm programming language which means that Perl can support the development of software using different programming paradigms, e.g. functional programming, object-oriented programming, and more. Programming languages are culture, and culture follows philosophy. Philosophy is how every culture provides itself with justification for its decisions, values, beliefs, and worldview. [...] It’s probably worth mentioning that the Raku team has also adopted this posture (and tradition). * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ The Next Platform ☛ The_Expanding_CXL_Memory_Hierarchy_Is Inevitable_–_And_Good_Enough⠀⇛ The Hot Chips 34 conference that is normally held at Stanford University is in full swing this week, and thanks to the coronavirus pandemic is being held entirely online. Which means we have to buy our own ice cream and make our own lunches as we ponder the presentations offered up by chip vendors and academia, showing off the innovations them are bringing to bear. The Computer Express Link, or CXL, protocol for cache and memory coherence is a big area of research and development these days, and Hot Chips hosted a tutorial on what it is, how it is evolving, and what impact it will be having on system architecture. We are well aware that alternatives such as Gen-Z (Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Dell), CCIX (Xilinx, AMD, and the Arm collective), OpenCAPI (IBM), Infinity Fabric (AMD), and NVLink (Nvidia) all have their benefits, and are each in their own ways better than the initial CXL that Intel proposed as a means of providing asymmetrical cache coherence for accelerators over the PCI-Express bus and over PCI- Express switch fabrics. o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Hacker News ☛ “As_Nasty_as_Dirty_Pipe”_—_8_Year_Old_Linux Kernel_Vulnerability_Uncovered [Ed: So-called "Dirty Pipe" was not so severe; there was a lot of misleading media hype at the time]⠀⇛ Details of an eight-year-old security vulnerability in the Linux kernel have emerged that the researchers say is “as nasty as Dirty Pipe.” Dubbed DirtyCred by a group of academics from Northwestern University, the security weakness exploits a previously unknown flaw (CVE-2022-2588) to escalate privileges to the maximum level. # ⚓ LWN ☛ EFF:_Code,_Speech,_and_the_Tornado_Cash_Mixer_ [LWN.net]⠀⇛ The Electronic Frontier Foundation has announced that it is representing cryptography professor Matthew Green, who has chosen to republish the sanctioned Tornado Cash open-source code as a GitHub repository. # ⚓ EFF ☛ Code,_Speech,_and_the_Tornado_Cash_Mixer⠀⇛ EFF’s most central concern about OFAC’s [US Office of Foreign Assets Control] actions arose because, after the SDN [Specially Designated Nationals] listing of “Tornado Cash,” GitHub took down the canonical repository of the Tornado Cash source code, along with the accounts of the primary developers, including all their code contributions. While GitHub has its own right to decide what goes on its platform, the disappearance of this source code from GitHub after the government action raised the specter of government action chilling the publication of this code. In keeping with our longstanding defense of the right to publish code, we are representing Professor Matthew Green, who teaches computer science at the Johns Hopkins Information Security Institute, including applied cryptography and anonymous cryptocurrencies. Part of his work involves studying and improving privacy-enhancing technologies, and teaching his students about mixers like Tornado Cash. The disappearance of Tornado Cash’s repository from GitHub created a gap in the available information on mixer technology, so Professor Green made a fork of the code, and posted the replica so it would be available for study. The First Amendment protects both GitHub’s right to host that code, and Professor Green’s right to publish (here republish) it on GitHub so he and others can use it for teaching, for further study, and for development of the technology. [...] Under either analysis, GitHub has a First Amendment right to continue to host independent copies of the Tornado Cash source code repository. Professor Green’s fork and publication through GitHub is protected, and neither the hosting nor the publication of these independent repositories violates the OFAC sanctions. * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Open_content_that_you_can_contribute_to⠀⇛ If you are reading this you likely do not need to be told about the importance and many benefits of free and open-source software. Much of the software that powers the Geminispace is FOSS and many Geminauts are themselves maintainers of, or contributors to, FOSS projects. Those who support FOSS principles but may lack the technical skills (or simply the inclination) to contribute code to FOSS projects can still contribute by writing documentation, providing feedback or even donating money to development efforts. However, there are a number of projects out there that seek to apply similar principles (ie, the crowd-sourcing and free sharing of information) to fields other than software. In this post we will briefly discuss a few of these projects and how you can get involved. # § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Thoughts_on_Industry⠀⇛ This is a short essay I wrote today in a Matrix room currently called “Arising to Lasagna” while discussing Industrial Revolution. I’m publishing it here so more like-minded people can potentially enjoy it. The Industrial Revolution occurred as a result of various socioeconomic factors including the adoptions of steam-powered technologies and the centralization of production into the hands of a bourgeois class (capitalism). Different social movements have different perspectives on this shift and its implications for societal development. The communists of the late 1800s saw capitalist production as the current stage of human evolution, pulling us out of feudalism and creating new class antagonisms. They believed that the next step would be state- controlled production, which would lead to the eventual dissolution of the state in favor of worker-run production. According to them, a socialist revolution was inevitable due to the uncontrollable course of history. Gradually workers would become conscious of their class and overthrow their masters. This view was not universal among socialists. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.
