When YouTube Vanced shutdown we didn't really know why but following all the theory they have posted a write up explaining the real reason Vanced was shutdown, at least the reason they want to say.
Due to some pretty serious thunderstorms, the network is down at my office. So instead of recording my usual sort of content, it was time for an off-topic "boomer vlog." Today's video is another "life tip" sort of video. The topic is "be-do-have" rather "have-do-be".
As part of the response to last year's UMN fiasco, Kees Cook and a group of collaborators have put together a set of guidelines for researchers who are studying how the kernel-development community (or any development community, really) works. That document has just been merged into the mainline as part of the 5.18 merge window.
NVIDIA 510.60.02 is here almost two months after NVIDIA 510.47.03 and introduces support for the NVIDIA RTX A4000H and NVIDIA RTX A5500 graphics cards, which are built on the latest NVIDIA Ampere architecture and found in modern laptop computers. Support is provided for all supported platforms, including Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris.
The net-tools package hasn't been updated by the developers in a long time. Luckily, you can use these new and better networking tools on Linux.
Linux comes with a host of networking tools for managing both large-scale and small-scale network infrastructure. For a long time, net-tools have been the default networking tools of choice, but they have now been replaced by iproute2 tools.
This guide will look at some important networking tools meant to replace the deprecated net-tools. Most modern versions of Linux come with the new iproute2 tools by default.
Here are some of the new iproute2 networking tools that replaced the old and deprecated net-tools on Linux.
So, yesterday I was looking at the OpenStreetMap.org website because I kinda like maps and thought about building a POC!
[...]
You may ask “why is it called coast?”, the OpenStreetMap founder’s name is Steve Coast and I found it very fitting for a map app.
A major —nay, colossal update to open source reference management tool Zotero is available to download.
Zotero 6 is billed by its developers as the “biggest upgrade in Zotero’s history”. What makes it so substantial? An array of new features plus an entirely new way of working with PDF files and notes.
OpenSSH has this very nice setting, VerifyHostKeyDNS, which when enabled, will pull SSH host keys from DNS, and you no longer need to either trust on first use, or copy host keys around out of band.
In this video, we are looking at how to install Moshi Monsters Rewritten Desktop on Zorin OS 16.
Today we are looking at how to install LibreOffice 7.3 on a Chromebook. Please follow the video/audio guide as a tutorial where we explain the process step by step and use the commands below.
Budgie Desktop is a desktop environment that is based on GNOME. It is designed to be simple, easy to use, lightweight and fast. It is also one of the few desktop environments that is designed specifically for the Solus operating system. Budgie’s philosophy is to provide a simple, easy to use desktop environment that is visually appealing and user-friendly.
It was started in 2013 and is developed by Ikey Doherty, Joshua Strobl and Solus project team as a project to replace the GNOME 2 desktop environment. It was originally designed for the Solus Linux operating system, but it can now be used on any Linux distribution. The name “Budgie” comes from the Budgie bird.
Budgie Desktop is a good choice for users who are looking for a desktop environment that is similar to GNOME, but with a few extra features and a more modern look and feel.
Some of its shortcomings are that it is not as customizable as other desktop environments, and it does not have as many features as other desktop environments.
Ubuntu Budgie is a community developed Ubuntu flavor built around the Budgie desktop environment. The goal is to integrate the simplicity and elegance of Budgie with the full power of Ubuntu.
Three weeks ago my colleague Bernd Schubert published a blog post about Discover the hidden treasure. This one is sort of a follow-up and describes, how to use the textfile.collector to retrieve data from saptune. I recommend to read his blog post first, because I’ll not explain everything in all details.
The AWS CLI is an essential tool for developers and sysadmin to automate and interact with AWS cloud services. It is an open-source tool built on the AWS SDL for Python.
Whether we realise it or not, we all use the Internet Protocol (IP) on a daily basis. When you type a website address or a search term into your web browser, for example, it looks up the IP address of that URL (or of a search engine) and then loads the website.
Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) provide means for building Layer 2 communication on top of existing IP networks. VPLS can be built using various approaches. However, when building a production-grade VPLS solution one needs to have a clear picture of how such aspects as security, mobility, and L2 issues will be solved.
In this short article, we will demonstrate how to build the VPLS using Host Identity Protocol (HIP). Since our goal is not to build a production-grade implementation of HIP-switches, we will only demonstrate proof of a concept solution that uses Mininet – a framework for simulating L2 and L3 networks. It is worth mentioning that the code we have produced can be also deployed (under certain conditions; for example, our HIP implementation does not feature the NAT traversal mechanisms and does not yet provide an L2 loop prevention mechanism) on the real hardware.
While building HIP-switches (the switches that are deployed at the border of a network) we came across several challenges. First, we understood that HIP-switches need to support the IEEE 802.1D protocol (or its modification - this really depends on the version of the protocol supported by the switches) to avoid L2 loops in the network. This problem was initially addressed in the relevant IETF draft. Second, there were certain issues with MTU and the inability of the Linux kernel to deliver IP packets when those are fragmented in user space and injected into the network stack using raw sockets. And finally, it took us some time to repackage the existing implementation of HIP protocol as a library, so that it will be agnostic about low-level networking (such as raw sockets, etc.). Since the implementation of the IEEE 802.1D protocol for our HIP-switches is still ongoing, we will demonstrate the usage of HIP-based VPLS using loop-free L2 topology.

After a long silence from us, we are happy to announce the start of the beta phase for the upcoming LabPlot 2.9 release.
Over the past weeks, we have spent a significant amount of time fixing the outstanding issues and polishing new features. Some of the major new features were introduced in our recent blog posts, and many other new features are mentioned in our ChangeLog file.
Here's a list of 10 feature of GNOME 42 that makes it a great release.
In the YaST Team we have changed a bit the way we organize the work and we are not longer numbering the development sprints. But that will not stop us from reporting as often as possible what’s new in the YaST world. So, let’s go with our second regular development report of 2022.
Open source and innovation have been the lifeblood of SUSE for 30 years. While you can certainly have one without the other, they are undoubtedly better together.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how modern enterprises are doing business and pressing organizations to increasingly integrate AI, along with its Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) capabilities, into cloud-native applications to deliver more insight and value for their customers and employees. In fact, the recent 2022 Red Hat Global Outlook report found that AI/ML was the top emerging technology workload most likely to be considered in the next 12 months, with 53% of the IT leaders surveyed ranking it the top priority.
To help organizations more quickly and easily develop AI/ML-powered cloud-native applications and deploy them into production, Red Hat is supportingt OpenShift on several new infrastructure footprints. OpenShift offers a ubiquitous infrastructure to enable machine learning operations (MLOps) at scale, spanning NVIDIA DGX systems, to Arm-based instances in the public cloud to a new class of datacenter hardware called NVIDIA BlueField-2 data processing units (DPUs).
Insights Advisor for OpenShift was introduced almost two years ago and its user interface was tightly integrated with Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console (formerly OpenShift Cluster Manager). We’ve gained a lot of feedback from our customers and with Red Hat OpenShift 4.10, and we are introducing a completely redesigned UI that brings new views on recommendations and allows easier navigation between recommendations, impacted clusters and remediations.
You can run Kubernetes straight from the code, but few companies have the nerves to do it. Instead, they turn to programs such as Red Hat's OpenShift. These make orchestrating containers much easier. Now, with its most recent update, Red Hat OpenShift 4.10, is also adding artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) functionality to its bag of tricks,
Red Hat has announced new certifications and capabilities for Red Hat OpenShift aimed at accelerating the delivery of intelligent applications across the hybrid cloud. These enhancements, including the certification of Red Hat OpenShift with NVIDIA AI Enterprise 2.0, as well as the general availability of Red Hat OpenShift 4.10, are intended to help organizations deploy, manage and scale artificial intelligence (AI) workloads with confidence.
While AI is transforming how enterprises do business, operationalizing an AI infrastructure can be complex and time- and resource-intensive. To help accelerate the process, Red Hat OpenShift is now certified and supported with the NVIDIA AI Enterprise 2.0 software suite, an end-to-end, cloud-native suite of AI and data analytics software that runs on mainstream, NVIDIA-Certified Systems.
This article covers what’s new for developers in the Red Hat OpenShift console in OpenShift 4.10. This release includes many usability improvements, including changing your defaults for routes in creation flows and the ability to quickly troubleshoot misbehaving pods from the user interface (UI).
Additionally, there are new features available in the console when you install the following operators on your cluster: Service Binding Operator, gitops-primer, Red Hat OpenShift Serverless, Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines, and Red Hat OpenShift GitOps. Let’s dive into the details.
With every Ubuntu release, we are slowly getting more built-in tweaks to personalize our desktop experience to change the appearance.
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS did a good job of improving the visuals and user experience out-of-the-box.
This time around, Ubuntu 22.04 has added a much-needed addition to the Appearance settings i.e. accent colors.
Almost six months in development, Greybird 3.23.0 is here to introduce initial support for GTK4 and libhandy in an attempt to make the popular Xfce theme, which is used by default in recent Xubuntu releases, more modern and keep it up with the times. GTK4 support means that Grebird will play nice with recent GTK4 apps.
For those not familiar with libhandy, it’s a library used for creating mobile versions of GTK and GNOME apps, so Greybird getting libhandy support could mean that it might see a version of the Xfce desktop environment on mobile operating systems like ExpidusOS, which is still in very alpha stage.
gron is a self-contained Go executable you can download from here on GitHub. In the UNIX tradition, gron does one thing well: it flattens JSON into a structure that's easily processed by shell tools, line by line.
Oracle today announced the availability of Java 18, the latest version of the world’s number one programming language and development platform.

Found out yesterday that I have COVID. I'm all quarantined in the master bedroom, and feeling much better now actually. My poor 5 year-old was so scared for me and sad before bed. She is used to snuggling me every night. She was also concerned I would get COVID germs all over her books in here haha.
First up this week: Most of Apple’s services were down yesterday (at least in some regions). For at least two hours, very little was working, including the dev site and some internal apps.
My employer is going through cutdowns and layoffs at the moment. Swedish labour law is pretty unforgiving when it comes to layoffs; there are strict rules around who you get to let go and the measures you have to take in order to justify it. In order to circumvent that somewhat and get to axe people from anywhere across the organisation my employer has decided to offer very generous severance packages to a select 20 or so per cent of employees.
While Gemini doesn't have many weather services, most platforms do. I think there are so many because weather can be so personal. Do you care about barometric pressure? Personally I don't, unless it's dropping, indicating a storm or weather front coming in.
