Stenberg and I used to argue about all sorts of things and right now he’s badmouthing Gemini while shilling GitHub, which isn’t just proprietary but also controlled by Microsoft. Stenberg tends to gravitate towards money, just like the_World_Wide_Web Consortium. “My thoughts in the video can be summed up as, Stenberg promotes misconceptions and misinformation about Gemini.”Stenberg’s background isn’t what many people assume (he openly_admitted_this_days_ago), but he’s very influential because his program is used on billions of computers, not just on this planet but also in Mars. Stenberg isn’t a rude person. He can sometimes be both amicable and receptive to feedback. I hope he’ll spend more time actually using Gemini before leaping to unfair judgments. My thoughts in the video can be summed up as, Stenberg promotes misconceptions and misinformation about Gemini. Maybe it’s not intentional or maybe the veiled rationale is the lack of Gemini support in Curl (there are already Free/libre tools that way are ahead of Curl and support Gemini — I’ve even compiled some of them). █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 112 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2023/05/29/irc-log-280523/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2023/05/29/irc-log-280523/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 05.29.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ IRC_Proceedings:_Sunday,_May_28,_2023⠀✐ Posted in IRC_Logs at 5:25 am by Needs Sunlight Also available via the Gemini protocol at: * gemini://gemini.techrights.org/irc-gmi/irc-log-techrights-280523.gmi * gemini://gemini.techrights.org/irc-gmi/irc-log-280523.gmi * gemini://gemini.techrights.org/irc-gmi/irc-log-social-280523.gmi * gemini://gemini.techrights.org/irc-gmi/irc-log-techbytes-280523.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  QmXwbvktR6m2sSXA6cmt4nxqovAsdT7k3cG3ksAXWiPYak #boycottnovell 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇HTML5 logs⦈ (full IRC log as HTML) IRC log for #boycottnovell  QmWjVnvYz7ZTHy4b7mE9rjhph82cKw5cZw4BjDHTCGuqtF (full IRC log 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇text logs⦈ as plain/ASCII text) IRC log for #boycottnovell-  QmWEn3VWSM8Wc142sqgxZ6GPqruV6r3Yy28qBZ7CmNyszp social 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇HTML5 logs⦈ (full IRC log as HTML) IRC log for #boycottnovell-  QmPhQps5HayMMHwSpFGxXz9wxhpSRLWKSJ61UbKkfoFWQD social 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇text logs⦈ (full IRC log as plain/ASCII text) IRC log for  QmY9rS23dBbGpyoJJ1VLhETDnwjfKbmi4YrZTvpyB9MnJG #techbytes 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇HTML5 logs⦈ (full IRC log as HTML) IRC log for #techbytes  QmV7hHS7ZabRYDqiMxsqj7vSrtRXncHL2fG8D9ZynV2gup (full IRC log 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇text logs⦈ as plain/ASCII text) IRC log for  QmPJS8dxk6qukUNKFEnjnUDwbwQj7tRmEdixGJ7bLxmaD8 #techrights 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇HTML5 logs⦈ (full IRC log as HTML) IRC log for #techrights  QmWEMX1knchRNNtYGTiFwgpemjXiLWT9P1KUHQKmR7pEpJ (full IRC log 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇text logs⦈ as plain/ASCII text) 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇IPFS logo⦈ § Bulletin for Yesterday⠀➾ Local_copy | CID (IPFS): Qmb9Xu74tUcPjn3QGo5Fa3AwL3ztbkpEBnKFQZLo52iezG ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 239 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 05.29.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Links_29/05/2023:_Videos_Catchup_and_Gemini_FUD⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 2:37 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * GNU/Linux o Audiocasts/Shows o Instructionals/Technical * Distributions_and_Operating_Systems o Fedora_Family_/_IBM o Canonical/Ubuntu_Family o Open_Hardware/Modding * Free,_Libre,_and_Open_Source_Software o Programming/Development # Perl_/_Raku * Leftovers o Education o Hardware o Health/Nutrition/Agriculture o Security # Privacy/Surveillance o Defence/Aggression o Environment o Finance o AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics o Censorship/Free_Speech o Civil_Rights/Policing o Monopolies # Copyrights * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Technical # Internet/Gemini * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ What_Is_GNU/Linux_and_Why_Does_Hardly_Anyone_Call It_That?⠀⇛ You’re interested in Linux and have read a few blog posts.

What is it? o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Arduino ☛ Analyze_the_ambient_sound_around_you_with_this Arduino_setup⠀⇛ You’ve probably heard that there isn’t any sound in space. That’s because sound is vibration traveling through a medium, like air or wood, and space is a mostly empty vacuum. The frequency of the vibration in a medium is the pitch of the sound and the amplitude is the volume. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ James_Just_James:_Blocked_select_logging_(deadlock_finding) in_golang⠀⇛ I’ve been writing some massively concurrent code for mgmt lately. The concurrency makes it incredibly bug prone. In this case it’s usually races or deadlocks. I’ve got a new trick to make the process more pleasant. The Problem: I’m sure many of you have written some code like this before: // just a small excerpt for { select { case <- someEvent: // some awesome thing happened! case <- ctx.Done(): return ctx. # ⚓ Chris ☛ The_Unreasonable_Effectiveness_of_Conditional Probabilities⠀⇛ # ⚓ How_Much_Memory_Do_You_Need_to_Run_1_Million_Concurrent Tasks?⠀⇛ In this blog post, I delve into the comparison of memory consumption between asynchronous and multi- threaded programming across popular languages like Rust, Go, Java, C#, Python, Node.js and Elixir. Some time ago I had to compare performance of a few computer programs designed to handle a large number of network connections. I saw huge differences in memory consumption of those programs, even exceeding 20x. Some programs consumed little over 100 MB, but the others reached almost 3 GB at 10k connections. Unfortunately those programs were quite complex and differed also in features, so it would be hard to compare them directly and draw some meaningful conclusions, as that wouldn’t be an apple-to-apple comparison. This led me to an idea of creating a synthetic benchmark instead. # ⚓ Memory_Allocation⠀⇛ One thing that all programs on your computer have in common is a need for memory. Programs need to be loaded from your hard drive into memory before they can be run. While running, the majority of what programs do is load values from memory, do some computation on them, and then store the result back in memory. In this post I’m going to introduce you to the basics of memory allocation. Allocators exist because it’s not enough to have memory available, you need to use it effectively. We will visually explore how simple allocators work. We’ll see some of the problems that they try to solve, and some of the techniques used to solve them. At the end of this post, you should know everything you need to know to write your own allocator. # ⚓ “Rewrite_it_in_Rust”_Considered_Harmful?⠀⇛ # ⚓ Writing_Python_like_it’s_Rust⠀⇛ I started programming in Rust several years ago, and it has gradually changed the way I design programs in other programming languages, most notably in Python. Before I started using Rust, I was usually writing Python code in a very dynamic and type-loose way, without type hints, passing and returning dictionaries everywhere, and occasionally falling back to “stringly-typed” interfaces. However, after experiencing the strictness of the Rust type system, and noticing all the problems that it prevents “by construction”, I suddenly became quite anxious whenever I got back to Python and wasn’t provided with the same guarantees. To be clear, by “guarantees” I don’t mean memory safety here (Python is reasonably memory safe as- is), but rather “soundness” – the concept of designing APIs that are very hard or outright impossible to misuse and thus prevent undefined behaviour and various bugs. In Rust, an incorrectly used interface will usually cause a compilation error. In Python, you can still execute such incorrect program, but if you use a type checker (like pyright) or an IDE with a type analyzer (like PyCharm), you can still get a similar level of quick feedback about a possible problem. # § Perl / Raku⠀➾ # ⚓ Perl ☛ 2023-05-26_[Older]_This_week_in_PSC_(108)⠀⇛ # ⚓ Perl ☛ 2023-05-25_[Older]_Perl_Weekly_Challenge_#218 –_Feeling_Negative⠀⇛ # ⚓ Perl ☛ 2023-05-21_[Older]_Perl_Weekly_Challenge_#217 –_Flattening_the_Matrix⠀⇛ # ⚓ Perl ☛ 2023-05-20_[Older]_TWC_217:_Big_and_Boundless in_The_Matrix⠀⇛ * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Writing_summaries_is_more_important_than_reading_more_books⠀⇛ One thing I’ve learned over time is to read fewer books but to take the time to write summaries for the good ones. The ROI of spending 2h writing a synopsis is much higher than spending those 2h powering through the next book on your list. Reading is not about page count or speed [1]. What matters is how it changes your thinking and what you take away from it. Optimize for comprehension, not volume. If your goal is to maximize comprehension, you need to ask questions while you read — questions that you yourself must try to answer in the course of reading. This is something I believe curious people do naturally. Forcing yourself to ask questions and to answer them also makes it easy to write a synopsis: When you’re done, simply write down the most important questions you’ve encountered and how the book has answered them. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Winnie_the_Pooh_‘Run,_Hide,_Fight’_Book Draws_Parents’_Ire⠀⇛ The Dallas school district apologized for not providing guidance to parents when it sent students home with a book that teaches how to respond to dangerous situations at school. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Tux Digital ☛ Hardware_Addicts_76:_RibbonFet_and_PowerVia, The_Key_to_Intel’s_Next_Generation_of_CPUs⠀⇛ Welcome to Hardware Addicts, a proud member of the TuxDigital Network.

[...] Why does the protocol need high transfer speeds? And the energy waste of gemini is trivial compared to that of the modern web. Start Firefox? No, I already know what the CPU fans sound like, and how much memory does that piggy want this year? [...] If by “normal” you mean a document bloated with menus, tracking, ugly visuals, dark patterns, autoplaying videos, pop-ups, images, javascript with a visible refresh rate like Word 6 had, and who knows how many security vulnerabilities along for the ride, then, probably not. A recent web page I was trying to summarize weighed in at ~350,000 bytes; the actual content on that page was probably 1300 bytes. And that was without any additional resources that a Firefox would go out and grab by default. Gemini? Cat the text into a file. HTML? Load up a parser library, learn how CSS Selectors are useless, and that all that pretty OO code is too slow, try another parser library, figure out how to build a buffer up with the text you want, emit those blocks into a plain-text form… err, you were saying something funny about gemini being a waste of CPU? [...] Trusting all of the Certificate Authority certificates that ship with a typical web client has its own set of problems. Maybe some nice government told someone to sign something, or there’s a corrupt employee, or the black hats can use lettuce encrypt just as well as anybody else. [...] Certificate Authorities have various problems, as mentioned above, and some folks do use lettuce encrypt certificates on their gemini servers, and a gemini client could easily offer HTTPesque verification, if you want (mine does). In practice TOFU hasn’t been a problem, so a mandate of CA certs is not showing up in my crystal ball. # ⚓ Rosy_Crow_1.1.0_Released⠀⇛ Client certificates may be imported and exported.

We had a demonstration next to somewhere where the launce of the translation of the book “Irreversible Damage – The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters” by Abigail Shrier was to take place.

It seems if I wear them too close they are more comfortable and clear but I have to give up the bottom edge. Or I can let them sit further down my nose, and see everything, but the edges are blurry. That being said, I can read text! The terminal looks really sexy. While checking out reviews I couldn’t find a single instance of anyone saying how good the terminal looks, so this was really important to me. I’ll try it later with my Switch and eventually my PinePhones. # ⚓ Linux_Pains⠀⇛ Just when I start thinking that Linux is getting close to perfect, I get a dose of reality. But somehow I always think it will be different this time. I had to switch to another machine, largely because I didn’t feel like lugging my laptop to NYC yet again. I have an ancient laptop here, with an i7- 3632QM, a decade-old yet totally adequate processor. I was planning to give it to my father- in-law, and loaded Zorin OS because it looks close enough to Windows. But then I didn’t, because he would just have his friend load pirated Windows on it and accumulate viruses, games, and porn and complain that it doesn’t work right all the time.

I have a particular weakness, and it’s this: I can’t take the heat. I’ve always lived in parts of the world where it’s mostly not too hot; unfortunately this means that when it does get hot there isn’t air conditioning.

But for gemtext documents the way the protocol is actually used (and in fact specified in the doc he read), gemini pages consistently load much, much faster than web pages in practice. [...] By my count: 3 of these are really great points that are so clear they were probably just missed by Solderpunk, the final one definitely misses the point, and the first and third points are debatable (changing the TOFU recommendation is probably a cultural non-starter but I’m glad he calls attention to the burden it imposes on client implementors). Kneejerk defensiveness is just going to prevent us from learning what we can, even from imperfect sources. # § Announcements⠀➾ # ⚓ Public_Service_Announcement_–_smolver_Security_Hole Mitigated⠀⇛ I have mitigated smolver’s security defect mentioned about a week ago. If you are running smolver, please update to v1.2.1 (or later, if you find this in the future) and follow the instructions in the ‘For smolver Admins’ section as soon as possible. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

In episode 4 (that link will only work once the episode is released) I briefly talked about some simple bots I setup on the Ubuntu Social Mastodon instance (which, incidentally I talked about in episode 1). # ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_Plans_to_Switch_CUPS_Printing_Stack_to Snap⠀⇛ Ubuntu 23.10 is aiming to ship the CUPS printing stack as a snap package. Canonical’s Till Kamppeter, who is also the project lead for the OpenPrinting Project, says he wants to “…switch Ubuntu 23.10, the Mantic Minotaur, as planned, to use the CUPS Snap as its printing system and the Printer Application Snaps as drivers for non-IPP- driverless printers.” # ⚓ Jan_Grulich:_PipeWire_camera_support_in_Firefox⠀⇛ We finally reached a major milestone with Chromium 110, which was a release where we finally got screen sharing enabled by default on Wayland, and since then you no longer have to go into the preferences and enable the flag you need. That doesn’t mean my work there is over, but I’ve shifted my focus to something related but slightly different and that is PipeWire camera support. # ⚓ Projects_selected_for_LibreOffice_in_the_Google_Summer_of Code_2023⠀⇛ Improve PGP/GPG encryption support: the project aims to enhance the experimental PGP/GPG encryption support in LibreOffice by addressing several shortcomings, such as the need to select recipients anew for every save and the difficulty in finding the right keys. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ 2023-05-28_[Older]_How_I_set_up_a server_for_testing_new_Grafana_versions_and_other_things⠀⇛ # ⚓ It’s FOSS ☛ How_to_Update_Snap_Packages_in_Ubuntu⠀⇛ Snap packages are automatically updated.

It is available in Settings under the Display page. But in the Fedora workstation with the default GNOME desktop, only 100% and 200% scaling are available. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ Emmanuele_Bassi:_Configuring portals⠀⇛ One of the things I’ve been recently working on at Igalia is the desktop portals implementation, the middleware layer of API for application and toolkit developers that allows both sandboxed applications to interact with the host system. Sandboxing technologies like Flatpak and Snap expose the portal D-Bus interfaces inside the sandbox they manage, to handle user-mediated interactions like opening a file that exists outside of the locations available to the sandboxed process, or talking to privileged components like the compositor to obtain a screenshot. Outside of allowing dynamic permissions for sandboxed applications, portals act as a vendor-neutral API for applications to target when dealing with Linux as an OS; this is mostly helpful for commercial applications that are not tied to a specific desktop environment, but don’t want to re-implement the layer of system integration from the first principles of POSIX primitives. # ⚓ Medium ☛ Gotam_Gorabh:_GSoC_2023_[Week_1_Report]: Create_a_New_“System”_panel_in_GNOME_Settings⠀⇛ Project Title: Create a New “System” panel in GNOME Settings Mentor : Felipe Borges Contributor : Gotam Gorabh § Introduction This summer I’m working on a project titled Create a New “System” panel in GNOME Settings, which aims to create a New System panel. This blog summarizes my progress during the bonding period and the first week of the Google Summer Of Code 2023. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ How_and_why_EasyOS_is_different_page_updated⠀⇛ Easy keeps evolving and the documentation falls behind. As the “How and why EasyOS is different” page may be the first stop for those checking out Easy, I have updated it: https://easyos.org/about/how-and-why-easyos-is- different.html Tomorrow afternoon, after returning from a family engagement, plan to do a complete recompile in OpenEmbedded, updating many packages. After that, some sanity testing, then likely to release Easy 5.3.2. We can test that, with a view to releasing 5.3.3 that will be announced on Distrowatch. That’s the plan anyway. o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Jonathan_Carter:_MiniDebConf_Germany_2023⠀⇛ This year I attended Debian_Reunion_Hamburg (aka MiniDebConf Germany) for the second time. My goal for this MiniDebConf was just to talk to people and make the most of the time I have there. No other specific plans or goals. Despite this simple goal, it was a very productive and successful event for me. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Cortex_M0_based_dev_kit_is_equipped_with barometric_air_pressure_sensor⠀⇛ The DPS310/368 Kit2Go from Infineon is a low-cost development board powered by the XMC100 industrial microcontroller. The compact embedded board can be quickly integrated into IoT and embedded applications since it supports the Arduino IDE platform. # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Milk-V_Mars_single_board_computer_features RISC-V_StarFive_processor⠀⇛ The Milk-V Mars is a new single board computer built on the StarFive JH7110 RISC-V processor. # ⚓ Fabio_Alessandro_Locati:_Fedora_on_Pine64_ROCKPro64⠀⇛ Recently, I was looking for a couple of Single Board Computers (SBCs) for a project I’m working on. Given the characteristics I was looking for, there were not many options; in the end, I opted for the ROCKPro64 by Pine64. Once I received the SBC, I immediately tried to put Fedora on it. The process proved slightly more complex than I was expecting since I assumed that U-Boot (or some other boot loader) was already present on the board. # ⚓ Linux On Mobile ☛ 2023-05-27_[Older]_Weekly_GNU-like_Mobile Linux_Update_(21/2023):_A_slow_week⠀⇛ o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Liliputing ☛ Lenovo_Tab_Extreme_now_available_(high- performance,_high-price_Android_tablet)_–_Liliputing⠀⇛ # ⚓ XDA ☛ Contacts_synced_with_your_Google_account_may_suddenly disappear_from_your_Android_phone,_but_it’s_reversible⠀⇛ # ⚓ Engadget ☛ ARM’s_latest_CPUs_push_Android_phone_makers toward_64-bit_only_devices_|_Engadget⠀⇛ # ⚓ Gadget Bridge ☛ Best_6_Ways_to_Take_Screenshots_and_Share Them_on_Android⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Police ☛ Android_14_Beta_2.1_is_causing_issues_with the_Google_Camera_app⠀⇛ # ⚓ Giz China ☛ Beware_of_this_malware_that_can_hack_your Android_device⠀⇛ # ⚓ WCCF Tech ☛ Google_Has_Changed_How_Contacts_Sync_on_Android and_People_Aren’t_Going_to_Be_Happy⠀⇛ # ⚓ Gadget Bridge ☛ [Working]_Fix_Qualcomm_Crash_Dump_Mode_on Android_phones:_Best_3_ways⠀⇛ # ⚓ Phone Arena ☛ Why_is_your_Android_phone_so_slow?_Doesn’t matter,_here_is_how_to_fix_it!_–_PhoneArena⠀⇛ # ⚓ SlashGear ☛ How_To_Turn_Any_Article_Into_A_Mini-Audiobook With_This_New_Android_Feature⠀⇛ * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o ⚓ FSFE ☛ 2023-05-24_[Older]_Interoperable_Europe_Act:_Committee_of the_Regions_fails_to_substantially_promote_Free_Software⠀⇛ o ⚓ 2023-05-24_[Older]_FLOSS_Weekly_733:_Open_Source_Science_–_Tim Bonnemann,_Open_Source_Science⠀⇛ o § Content Management Systems (CMS)⠀➾ # ⚓ Joe Brockmeier ☛ Joe_Brockmeier:_WordPress,_poster_child_of the_LAMP_stack,_turns_20⠀⇛ WordPress turned 20 over the weekend. Older than that, if you count the b2_codebase_WordPress_forked from. 20 years for a project is quite an accomplishment, but WordPress hasn’t merely survived for 20 years. The open source CMS powers a huge chunk of the Internet and has shown how commerce and community can coexist successfully for the long haul. It’s hard to convey how impressive WordPress was when it was launched, if you haven’t dabbled with the CMSes of the time. By the time WordPress 1.0 was released, I’d fussed_with_static_site generators_(Blosxom),_phpWebLog,_and_even Slashcode. Standing up a CMS on shared hosting was non-trivial. Here was WordPress. Easy to install, easy to use, ran well on minimal hardware if you didn’t have heavy traffic, and entirely free. It was just a few steps and you could have a blog running in five minutes on a shared hosting account. You could have a site set up in an hour if you were happy with a stock theme. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Truthdig ☛ 2023-05-26_[Older]_A_Tennessee_County_Misuses Opioid_Funds⠀⇛ # ⚓ Green Party UK ☛ 2023-05-22_[Older]_Green_Party_response_to Keir_Starmer’s_speech_on_the_future_of_the_NHS⠀⇛ # ⚓ Truthdig ☛ 2023-05-22_[Older]_The_Climate_Crisis_Is_a Health_Crisis_Too⠀⇛ # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ 2023-05-26_[Older]_Don’t_Chug_Poppers,_FDA Warns⠀⇛ # ⚓ HRW ☛ 2023-05-25_[Older]_Universal_Social_Security_Can Reduce_Poverty,_Inequality⠀⇛ o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2023-05-26_[Older]_OpenAI_CEO_rolls_back threat_to_quit_Europe_over_regulation [Ed: Microsoft blackmailing countries]⠀⇛ # ⚓ Engadget ☛ 2023-05-25_[Older]_YouTube_Stories_are_going away_on_June_26th⠀⇛ # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ 2023-05-25_[Older]_Long_Story_Short:_YouTube Stories_Are_Shutting_Down⠀⇛ # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ 2023-05-24_[Older]_10_Horror_Movies_That_Will Make_You_Log_Off_Social_Media,_Possibly_Forever⠀⇛ # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ 2023-05-23_[Older]_YouTuber_Ordered_to_Read_His Defamation_Sentence_Every_Week_on_Camera⠀⇛ # ⚓ Variety ☛ 2023-05-23_[Older]_YouTube_Pitching_Advertisers on_Unskippable_30-Second_Ads_for_TV_Content⠀⇛ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2023-05-21_[Older]_Anti-regime_activists_in_Canada accuse_Cuba_of_using_YouTube_channel_to_intimidate_them⠀⇛ # ⚓ EIN Presswire ☛ Ace_Cloud_Introduces_Advanced_Linux_VDI Services_for_Enhanced_Virtual_Desktop_Experience⠀⇛ o § Privatisation/Privateering⠀➾ # ⚓ Green Party UK ☛ 2023-05-22_[Older]_Greens_urge_radical railway_rethink_as_Transpennine_Express_enters_last_week_of contract⠀⇛ o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-05-26_[Older]_CISA_Adds_One_Known_Exploited Vulnerability_to_Catalog⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-05-25_[Older]_CISA_Releases_One_Industrial Control_Systems_Advisory⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-05-25_[Older]_CISA_Warns_of_Hurricane/Typhoon- Related_Scams⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-05-23_[Older]_CISA_and_Partners_Update_the #StopRansomware_Guide,_Developed_through_the_Joint_Ransomware Task_Force_(JRTF)⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-05-23_[Older]_CISA_Releases_Four_Industrial Control_Systems_Advisories⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-05-23_[Older]_Hitachi_Energy’s_AFS65x,_AFS67x, AFR67x_and_AFF66x_Products⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-05-23_[Older]_Hitachi_Energy’s_RTU500_Series Product⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-05-23_[Older]_Mitsubishi_Electric_MELSEC_Series CPU_module⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-05-23_[Older]_Horner_Automation_Cscape⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-05-22_[Older]_CISA_Adds_Three_Known_Exploited Vulnerabilities_to_Catalog⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-05-25_[Older]_Moxa_MXsecurity_Series⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-05-24_[Older]_CISA_and_Partners_Release Cybersecurity_Advisory_Guidance_detailing_PRC_state-sponsored actors_evading_detection_by_“Living_off_the_Land”⠀⇛ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ 2023-05-22_[Older]_Amazon’s_Palm-Scanning Tech_Also_Knows_How_Old_You_Are⠀⇛ # ⚓ Engadget ☛ 2023-05-22_[Older]_You_can_now_use Amazon’s_palm-reading_tech_to_buy_alcohol⠀⇛ o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Modern Diplomacy ☛ 2023-05-27_[Older]_Africa_Day_2023: Remembering_the_Past_and_Looking_for_a_Better_Future⠀⇛ # ⚓ Modern Diplomacy ☛ 2023-05-26_[Older]_Africa_needs_peace and_stability_to_develop,_says_AU Chairperson Assoumani⠀⇛ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2023-05-27_[Older]_Thinking_the_‘unthinkable’:_How China_could_change_Canada’s_conversation_about_nuclear_subs⠀⇛ # ⚓ Modern Diplomacy ☛ 2023-05-21_[Older]_BRICS_Membership:_A Game-Changer_for_Saudi_Arabia’s_Economy?⠀⇛ * § Environment⠀➾ o ⚓ NL Times ☛ 2023-05-24_[Older]_Video:_Shell_shareholders_meeting cut_short_as_security_carry_climate_activists_away⠀⇛ o ⚓ Modern Diplomacy ☛ 2023-05-28_[Older]_Role_of_Renewable_Energy_in Mitigating_Climate_Change_as_part_of_Saudi_Vision_2030 [Ed: The biggest polluters do the biggest greenwashing;

For me, the big shift has been that vim has become my default editor, the editor I normally use unless there’s some special circumstance. One way to put it is that vim has become my editing path of least resistance. This shift isn’t something that I would have predicted years ago (back then I definitely didn’t particularly like vim), but looking back from today it feels almost inevitable. # ⚓ How_to_start_Docker_Container_automatically_on_Boot_in Linux⠀⇛ Containerization is not a new technology anymore, millions of apps using it and in this, Docker has played quite an essential role in providing a platform for managing and deploying Conatiner-based applications. # ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Using_exec_Command_in_Bash_Shell_Scripts⠀⇛ The shell built-in exec command is used for executing commands in shell scripts. # ⚓ UNIX Cop ☛ How_to_install_Gitosis_on_Ubuntu_22.04⠀⇛ In this post, you will learn how to install Gitosis on Ubuntu 22.04.

Firstly, installed the AppImage, version 23.04.1, and ran it from a terminal to see startup messages. Pulling out some highlights: mlt_repository_init: failed to dlopen / tmp/.mount_kdenli62zXlw/usr/lib/mlt-7/libmltmovit.so (libGLX.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) ... no alsa devices available The MLT movit plugins are consequently not available. Easy does not have libGLX.so.0 — it is available in a package, just not installed. Anyway, Kdenlive works, tested a video and sound also works. o § New Releases⠀➾ # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ Nitrux_2.8.1_Released_with_Linux_Kernel_6.3, Plasma_Wayland_by_Default⠀⇛ Nitrux 2.8.1 may sound like a small point release to last month’s Nitrux 2.8, but it’s a massive update that brings exciting changes like the latest and greatest Linux 6.3 kernel series, Plasma Wayland as the default session, as well as all the latest KDE software including Plasma 5.27.5, Frameworks 5.106, and Gear 23.04.1. Plasma Wayland is clearly the number one attraction of this release and the devs tried their best to make it work as flawless as possible for everyone. For this, they have added xdg-desktop-portal-gnome to prevent font rendering issues, especially with Flatpak apps. # ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ MX_Linux’s_Refreshed_Identity:_Get_Ready_for_MX- 23_‘Libretto’⠀⇛ MX Linux pays homage to its origins with a logo revamp, unveiling the highly anticipated MX-23 ‘Libretto’ public beta. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Fedora Project ☛ Fedora_Community_Blog:_F38_FESCo_election: Interview_with_Tom_Stellard⠀⇛ I have a background in compilers and toolchains, and I would like to use some of the knowledge I’ve gained over the years of building and troubleshooting applications to help make Fedora better. Specifically, I’m interested in helping packagers avoid making common mistakes through standardized macros and packaging practices and also by increasing the reliance on CI. I’m currently one of the maintainers of the LLVM packages in Fedora which is a set of 15 packages that provide a C/C++/Fortran compilers as well as a set of reusable compiler libraries that are used for developing other languages and for developer tools, like IDEs. I’ve also worked on two system wide change requests to help standardize the use of make within Fedora packages. These changes helped to make spec files more consistent across all of Fedora and also made it possible to remove make from the default buildroot. # ⚓ Fedora Project ☛ Fedora_Community_Blog:_F38_FESCo_election: Interview_with_Major_Hayden⠀⇛ This is a part of the Elections Interviews series for Fedora Linux 38. Voting is open to all Fedora contributors.

Go to the Elections_app to cast your vote. # ⚓ Fedora Project ☛ Fedora_Community_Blog:_F38_Mindshare election:_Interview_with_David_Duncan⠀⇛ § What is your background in Fedora? What have you worked on and what are you doing now? I have been participating in Fedora community for a number of years. I started as one of the Fedora Ambassadors. I settled in working on Cloud a few years back and then found a job that really supported that work. Now I spend a lot of time working on the Cloud efforts. § Please elaborate on the personal “Why” which motivates you to be a candidate for Mindshare. I had the opportunity to serve on the Mindshare committee last year after one of the members found it necessary to focus their efforts elsewhere. I found it very fulfilling to work with the team. There are a lot of challenges around building a strong community and I have always enjoyed being a part of that efforts. I think that I can continue that work again. # ⚓ Fedora Project ☛ Fedora_Community_Blog:_F38_Mindshare election:_Interview_with_Luis_Bazan⠀⇛ I have already been a Fedora contributor for 12 years, I have worked in different teams, I am in the LATAM region. I have always tried to do my best within the Fedora community and I would like to join the Mindshare team to share my ideas for creating tasks that help the community continue to grow as we always have. Currently we need to do more events or anything that joins the LATAM region that is a bit neglected. We require more activities, not only national, we also want some international activities and this problem dates back to before the pandemic that affected us all. # ⚓ Fedora Project ☛ Fedora_Community_Blog:_F38_FESCo_election: Interview_with_Benjamin_Beasley⠀⇛ As a Fedora Linux, CentOS, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux user for well over a decade, and as a contributor to the Fedora community for the last several years, I find that wise and steady technical leadership has been one of the Fedora project’s great strengths. In my one term on FESCo, I think I have made a useful contribution to this tradition. It’s my practice to listen more than I speak; respect different people’s perspectives and styles of communication; and remember that idealism and pragmatism can exist in complementary rather than adversarial opposition. I directly maintain around 170 rather diverse packages. A few of my particular interests are scientific/technical and mathematical packages, font-related software, and the Python ecosystem. I also co-maintain or contribute to a variety of packages via the neuro-sig and python-packagers-sig packaging groups, and I regularly contribute fixes to other packages and to upstream projects. # ⚓ Fedora Project ☛ Fedora_Community_Blog:_F38_FESCo_election: Interview_with_Neal_Gompa⠀⇛ As a long-time member of the Fedora community as a user and a contributor, I have benefited from the excellent work of many FESCo members before me to ensure Fedora continues to evolve as an amazing platform for innovation. For the past few years, I have had the wonderful privilege of serving as a member of FESCo for the first time, and I enjoyed my time serving to steer Fedora into the future, and I wish to continue to contribute my expertise to help analyze and make good decisions on evolving the Fedora platform. The bulk of my contributions to Fedora lately are on the desktop side of things. In the last year, I’ve been working steadily on improving Fedora’s multimedia capabilities, which included bringing in FFmpeg into Fedora and enabling a new range of applications, libraries, and services to be packaged and hosted on Fedora Linux. This even leads to enabling creative professional work for video and making video streaming possible with software shipped in Fedora. Most recently, I helped kickstart the Budgie SIG and assisted with bootstrapping the Fedora Budgie spin and Fedora Onyx. Finally, my newest effort is around the bringup of the Fedora Asahi Remix by the Asahi SIG to support Fedora Linux on Apple Silicon Macs. This is being done in close collaboration with the upstream Asahi Linux community and members of that community are now part of the Fedora community too. Beyond the desktop and more into the clouds, I have been engaging with folks at AWS to bring them more into the Fedora community in a similar vein to how I helped bring Facebook into the Fedora community. This has also led to a proper revival of the Fedora Cloud Working Group and the Fedora Cloud Edition for Fedora Linux 37. We’re currently working on expanding our coverage of Fedora Cloud Edition in public cloud platforms, as well. # ⚓ Fedora Project ☛ Fedora_Community_Blog:_F38_Council election:_Interview_with_Sumantro_Mukherjee⠀⇛ I hail from APAC (India) and would like to focus on bringing in more non-US perspectives, which includes bringing in more contributors from diverse backgrounds. Efficient utilization of our brand-new_design assets which are now in multiple languages to onboard a variety of users (general and power- users) to the Fedora community as contributor either to functional sides (QA, packaging..etc) and/or outreach. Giving suggestions and bringing new perspectives from technical and outreach are my primary motivators. # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ The_moment_for_AI [Ed: Red Hat CEO is promoting phony trends or buzzwords that help Microsoft distract from mass layoffs, product closures, and other crises; if Red Hat becomes a caricature company or a 'meme', it won't manage to retain -- let alone gain -- truly technical people]⠀⇛ o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ [Repeat] Ruben Schade ☛ Remembering_how_the_Nintendo_Wii was_cracked⠀⇛ This was my favourite nugget in a great video about how Team Tweezers circumvented protections in the Wii console to run homebrew software.

Week highlights: Blender Studio announces their next open movie project, Intel Open Image Denoise 2.0 is out with major improvements, Krita and Ardour are getting new features. When I posted last week that the GIMP team was meeting somewhere in the EU, I had no idea where. And now that I know, wow! Not only Simon Budig went back to contributing, Michael Natterer is back too. There’s also Niels De Graef helping with general stuff like the build system, and Carlos Garnacho (GNOME) sending various patches. o § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ # ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ The_Gemini_protocol_seen_by_this_HTTP client_person⠀⇛ There is again a pull-request submitted to the curl project to bring support for the Gemini protocol. It seems like a worthwhile effort that I support, even if it is also a lot of work involved and it might take some time before it reaches the state in which it can be merged. o § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ # ⚓ Peter Eisentraut ☛ PostgreSQL_compile_times⠀⇛ The arithmetic here is unsurprising up to a point. This machine has 12 CPU cores, so you get speedups until around -j12. But it’s notable that the gains level off at 8. It could be because there are 8 “performance” cores and 4 “efficiency” cores, and the efficiency cores aren’t that helpful for this? Or maybe because there is just not that much more parallelism to be had in the build. # ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ PGCloud_Conference_London:_Call_for_Papers_is Now_Open!⠀⇛ The Call for Papers is now open for PGCloud Conference London! Taking place in London on 10th August 2023. We are looking for proposals in English on any topic relating to PostgreSQL and how to optimize, manage, and scale it in a cloud environment.

Among the most popular shell interpreters are Bourne shell (sh), Bash (Bourne Again SHell), and csh (C-shell). o § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Hackaday_Links:_May_28,_2023⠀⇛ The Great Automotive AM Radio War of 2023 rages on, with the news this week that Ford has capitulated, at least for now. You’ll recall that the opening salvo came when the US automaker declared that AM radio was unusable in their EV offerings thanks to interference generated by the motor controller.
