In this tutorial, we will show you how to install WildFly on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. For those of you who didn’t know, WildFly is a powerful, modular, and lightweight application server that helps you build amazing applications. It is cross-platform and comes with a sophisticated interface that makes changing application server settings and configuration very simple and quick. As of this writing, WildFly 26 is the latest release in a series of JBoss opensource application server offerings
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 WildFly (JBoss) 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.
In this tutorial, you will learn on how to simply install Oracle Linux 9 on VirtualBox. With Oracle Linux 9 now being available, you might want to try it out and the best way out is through installing it as a virtual machine.
This simple guide will show you how to install dhclient command on Oracle Linux. Have you installed Oracle Linux system and trying to configure automatic IP addresses via DHCP using dhclient command? Well, unlike the CentOS/RHEL/Rocky Linux systems, the dhclient command is not installed by default.
On paper SD cards have a bandwidth of almost 50 MBps but they achieve 38 MBps which is quite low. On the other hand, the USBs have relatively higher bandwidth at least more than that of the SD cards, so they tend to be a better choice for Raspberry Pi, if you are absolute fanatic about the speed then go for an SSD storage for your Pi.
Kubernetes or k8s is an open-source platform for container orchestration that automates deployments, management, and scaling of containerized applications. Kubernetes is a container orchestration created by Google, and now become an open-source project and become standard for modern application deployment and computing platforms.
Kubernetes is the solution for the modern container deployment era. It provides service discovery and load-balancing, storage orchestration, automated rollout and rollback, self-healing service, secret and configuration management. Kubernetes enables cost-effective cloud-native development.
There are quite a few exit codes used on Linux systems, though no listing you can display when you’re feeling curious. In fact, you won’t see the numeric codes unless you specifically ask for them.
If you have a file with sensitive information, it may not be enough to simply delete it with the rm command or press the Delete key. Deleting a file with the rm command usually only removes it from our directory. The deleted file remains on disk and can be recovered and abused by an attacker with the necessary skills.
In Linux, you can use the shred command to safely delete the files by repeatedly overwriting the file with gibberish data. This makes recovery of the original data quite difficult or almost impossible, even if the deleted file is recovered. The Shred command not only overwrites a file but also deletes it if specified. You can also use it to overwrite partitions or an entire disk. In this article, we explain how to use the shred command in Debian 11 to safely delete files. The same procedure can be used in other Debian and Ubuntu versions. We also discussed some of the command line options.
For KUbuntu 22.04 users, the KDE Plasma 5.25 desktop is available to install via official PPA repository!
Gitea is one of the best self-hosted Git servers on the market. This Go-based package is very user-friendly, lightweight and fairly straightforward to install. Once you have it up and running, your development teams can enjoy a Git repository from within your LAN, which means sensitive code will be less likely to find its way into the hands of a third party. Gitea features notifications, a built-in editor, user management and more.
The Wine community has released a new version of the eponymous software, an essential for gamers using a Linux-based OS as well as for the Steam Deck console from Valve. Wine 7.16 includes a lot of fixes for gaming related bugs and other issues, improving compatibility with software (and not just games) designed to run on Windows.
Wine 7.16 includes many bug fixes for software designed to run on Windows. Several issues with games are fixed as well, which will surely make Linux users happy. As the developers used to point out in the past, Wine "is not an emulator" but an open-source compatibility layer for users that need to run Windows software on Linux and other Unix-like operating systems.
Life Is Strange is a five part episodic game that sets out to revolutionize story-based choice and consequence games by allowing the player to rewind time and affect the past, present, and future.
I myself did great research on this topic of Linux games and came to you for fulfilling your thirst for a generic list of games for Linux in August 2022.
“The Google Play Store is packed with intricate RPGs, thrilling first-person and third-person shooters, and high-octane racing games, but what if you’re looking for something familiar that you can play over and over again whenever you have a few minutes of free time without ever feeling bored? In that case, the top 5 best Solitaire apps listed in this article may be just what you need.”
Odroid has recently announced a new portable console, the ODROID-Go Ultra (aka OGU), Linux-based, to hit the market later this year (early october 2022). It’s similar in size to the Odroid-Go Super, but the internals have been massively upgraded so that you can expect to play a lot more demanding games (emulation is the main point here). it’s based on one of the their most powerful boards, the Odroid-N2+.
[...]
That should help for PSP, Dreamcast, N64 and the Gamecube. Don’t expect the Gamecube games to run full speed – here’s a video below of Dolphin running Gamecube games on the N2+ last year...
Xubuntu 22.10 "Kinetic Kudu" is set to arrive on October 20, 2022. It will include the latest updates from Xfce 4.17, GNOME 43, MATE 1.26, and the family of supported applications that make up Xubuntu. With the Beta freeze coming later this month, it's time to start testing to make Xubuntu 22.10 a stable environment for users that want the latest and greatest from the Linux desktop.
[...]
As usual, I've grouped the updates into some common categories: Appearance, GNOME Apps, Xfce Apps, Other Apps, and Libraries. Unless noted otherwise, each app listed just includes regular maintenance updates, bug fixes, or usability tweaks. It should also be noted that these apps will continue to change and be updated through the 22.10 final release in October.
I have implemented adding room to a Space.
“In today’s day and age, we can all agree that “data is king”. About 2.5 quintillion (18 zeros) bytes of data are being generated daily, which various industries use for their benefit.”
Different industries use the data in different ways. However, all of them have the same goal: to understand their consumers better and produce products they believe would sell the most.
The process of evaluating data using modern tools and techniques in finding patterns and extracting useful information from it is called “data science” and the people who carry out these tasks are known as “data scientists”.
After finding patterns in the data, data scientists can make predictive Machine Learning models that can help the industries modify their marketing plans and make well-informed business decisions. The overall effect? The business grows, and the customers are satisfied.
The importance of data science in today’s world can’t be understated. Many resources are invested in data extraction, warehousing, processing, and analyzing. Therefore, choosing a computer system that can meet the required demands is also important. A supportive and compatible operating system can make a huge difference among other specifications.
There is a trend among data scientists and programmers to use or prefer Linux distributions over the generally popular operating systems such as Windows and Mac. There are multiple reasons behind this preference.
Firstly, the computational speed of Linux computers is better than that of Windows. 90 percent of the world’s supercomputers run on Linux. There is better hardware support with Linux systems as compared to Windows. There are multiple distributions and software choices available with Linux. Linux is also more flexible, free, and open-source.
As you may know and as stated above, many Linux distributions are available with different advantages. You are at the right place if you want to use Linux to perform your data science tasks and are wondering which Linux distribution would best suit you. We will look at the best Linux distro choices for your specific job.
It has been a long journey. Salix 15.0 is finally here! With so much time since our stable release, the changelog is huge and a lot of things have changed!
On a high level, this release includes Xfce 4.16 as the main environment! This is now based on GTK+3 and almost everything else that comes with a default installation has been upgraded to use GTK+3. This includes all our graphical system tools, which have received significant updates and a more modern look. The default software selection hasn't changed much, but of course everything has been upgraded to their latest releases, including Firefox 102ESR, LibreOffice 7.4, GIMP 2.10 and more. Whiskermenu is used as our default panel menu now. There have been extensive discussions in our forums with respect to how the new release will look and everything has been revamped, including a new GTK theme, a new icon theme, a new window manager theme and a default wallpaper, especially tailored for Salix 15.0. While the "light" versions of the above are used by default, "dark" versions are readily available. In general, our users will find themselves in a modern but familiar environment.
One of the reasons that it took so long to make this release, is that our software repositories are now full of packages. We have built thousands of packages in an enormous effort and these are available for immediate installation through the Gslapt package manager. The package repositories for 15.0 are larger than those of all our previous releases combined! On top of that, it is now possible to install software using flatpaks! Salix 15.0 has Flathub as a preconfigured source of software and we have also developed software for better desktop integration. Users should only need to browse flathub.org and install any software they wish a few clicks.
The installer has received several updates under the hood, but on the surface is the same classical text dialog-driven installer we've always had. Thanks to our wonderful translator community, it is now available in several different languages, including Catalan, Dutch, English (US and Great Britain), French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguege (Brazil and Portugal), Spanish (Spain and Costa Rica), Swedish, Turkish and Ukrainian!
Linux distributions based on Slackware, however, are far less common these days, so such distros are definitely worth some attention. Today, the Slackware-based Salix 15 becomes available for download. This Linux-based operating system uses the Xfce 4.16 desktop environment and kernel 5.15.63. In addition to Flatpak support, this version of the distro comes with some excellent software pre-installed, such as Firefox 102 ESR, GIMP 2.10, and LibreOffice 7.4. Believe it or not, there are even versions for both 32-bit and 64-bit processors!

Only a few days after Google released Chrome 105 (by means of the 105.0.5195.52 sourcecode) they have pushed an update to 105.0.5195.102. This update fixes a single bug, but it is a critical one (CVE-2022-3075) for which a zero-day exploit is actively abused by malicious third parties. It’s highly recommended to upgrade your Chromium (regular as well as un-googled) browser to the latest version.

PWC 181 Task 2 asks for input validation of dates and numbers. OK, it should ask for input validation so my solution isn’t totally over the top. Better safe then sorry.
“The variables of a machine learning model that determine how the parameters will be tuned are known as hyperparameters. The problem of selecting a group of ideal hyperparameters for a learning algorithm is known as hyperparameter tuning. The hyperparameters can be configured manually or automatically. There are numerous algorithms available for this tweaking. One such method, GridSearchCV, will be covered in this blog.”
Let’s talk about the definition and usage of class and static methods in Python.
The “First Class Function” is supported by several programming languages including Lisp, Haskell, Scala, Julia, Python, JavaScript, Ruby, Perl, as well as Go. Every Python functions were the first class function, to put it briefly. In just about any programming language, a function is considered a first-class variable and can therefore be provided as well as handled in the same way as the other types of objects (all objects in Python are considered to be objects), like an integer or a string for instance.
When there is ð changeable number of parameters, the error is raised in the code. Then, would the function continue to be altered to take the precise number of arguments? In this case, *args and **kwargs are employed.
Whenever we’re unclear about how many arguments to send to a function, we might use *args (non-keyword arguments) and **kwargs (keyword arguments) for parameters.
The Java wrapper class “Character” wraps a primitive data type “char“. Java utilizes the “char” data type to hold a single character enclosed in single quotes (‘ ‘), as opposed to the “String” data type that belongs to the Java wrapper class “String”, used to carry a sequence of characters enclosed in double quotations (” “). There are times while writing Java code that you need to verify if a certain character or a group of characters are present in the sequence or not.
Java is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that implements classes and objects. A unique instance of a class defines an object of the class. It is a self-contained entity with a state and behavior that facilitates mapping real-world entities while coding. The class defines the data and methods, and its object can utilize them to represent a specific entity.
A growing number of phone makers are promising to support their phones by offering as many as five years of software updates. In some cases they’re even making spare parts and repair manuals available for folks who want to fix their own hardware at home.
But European officials are considering regulations that would make long-term support the rule rather than the exception. Among other things, a new draft would require device makers to offer security updates and spare batteries, displays, cameras, back covers, and other parts for at least five years.
On 31 August 1944, a Stirling bomber LJ503 departed from Tempsford airbase in Bedfordshire, described as the most secret airfield of the second world war. The airmen conducted missions for the Special Operations Executive (SOE), known today as MI6, the stomping ground of James Bond.
At about 3am on 1 September, the aircraft crashed into a mountain in the German occupied region of France. The crew of LJ503 was comprised of six Australians and two Scots.
The mountain and crash site are in the municipal district of Lombard. The airmen were buried in the cemetery of Arc-et-Senans which is a larger town. This is a very remote location. It is closer to Switzerland than to Paris. It appears to be the only Anzac site in the Jura mountains.
I previously wrote about using data science techniques to find less well known Anzac sites and this was one of the first sites that I found.
(New York) – Chinese authorities are significantly increasing policing, including arbitrary collection of DNA from residents in many towns and villages throughout the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR), Human Rights Watch said today.
The available information indicates that people cannot decline providing their DNA and that police do not need credible evidence of any criminal conduct. A report from Lhasa municipality in April 2022 stated that blood samples for DNA collection were being systematically collected from children at kindergartens and from other local residents. A report from a Tibetan township in Qinghai province in December 2020 stated that DNA was being collected from all boys aged 5 and above.
“The Chinese government is already subjecting Tibetans to pervasive repression,” said Sophie Richardson, China director at Human Rights Watch. “Now the authorities are literally taking blood without consent to strengthen their surveillance capabilities.”
The Romanian DPA found that the controller - has excessively processed the personal data (first name, surname, ID series and number, destination, time of arrival, time of departure, comments) of the deliverers and/or couriers as data subjects, without a legal basis justified in relation to the purpose of the processing (access control in the residential complex) and without presenting evidence that it ensures the correct and complete information of the data subjects, as well as that the processed data are adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purpose of the processing; - did not establish a storage period for the personal data processed through the video surveillance system (images) and stored them for a period longer than that necessary to fulfill the purpose for which they are processed, i.e. controlling access to the condominium.
In addition, the DPA ordered the controller to: - Reviewing and updating the technical and organizational measures implemented as a result of the risk assessment for the rights and freedoms of individuals, including the procedures related to the protection of personal data and the establishment of deadlines for the retention of data in a form that allows the identification of the data subjects for a period that does not exceed the period necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the data are processed. - Evaluation of the processing carried out taking into account the principle of proportionality and the reduction of data to a minimum relative to the purpose and legal basis of the processing and the implementation of the necessary measures in order to comply with the principles related to the processing of personal data.
I think it's mostly the latter. The main reason Edward Snowden has said that he was drawn to me wasn't so much because of my views about privacy and surveillance, although those aligned with his. But he saw that I looked at journalism in a radically different way than most of the media.
Local law enforcement agencies from suburban Southern California to rural North Carolina have been using an obscure cellphone tracking tool, at times without search warrants, that gives them the power to follow people’s movements months back in time, according to public records and internal emails obtained by The Associated Press.
A potential deal to supply weapons to Taiwan has been approved by the US State Department. It includes the sale of anti-ship and air-to-air missiles as well as a radar surveillance system.
Authorities of Enerhodar City denounced constant Ukrainian attacks on the Zaporizhzhia facilities and power lines since Saturday morning.
Iran seized two American maritime drones operating in the Red Sea on Thursday, three U.S. defense officials said, the latest naval incident in a string of late-summer spats between Washington and Tehran.
The crew of the Iranian naval ship that captured the drones, Saildrone Explorers that were operating near each other, hoisted the vessels onto their warship, the Jamaran, and covered them with tarp, one official said.
On request from the U.S. Navy, the Iranian crew released the drones Friday morning, the officials said.
The drones were eventually released, but a US defense official says the incident looks like an escalation of Iranian hostile actions against the United States.
During the early days of the Kremlin’s war against Ukraine, Turkey earned well-deserved praise from both Kyiv and its Western allies for supporting Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity, providing armed drones, and closing the Turkish Straits for Russian warships. More recently, its diplomatic efforts to ease the Black Sea grain blockade have also been welcomed.
Here's a tip: If you have some radical political views and an acquaintance reaches out, encourages you to act on your convictions, and maybe offers to introduce you to a guy who can sell you some bomb parts, don't take him up on it. That guy's almost definitely working for the feds.
With the merge fast approaching this September, the debate of Proof of Work versus Proof of Stake has never been stronger, and Vitalik has shared some thoughts on where crypto is going, as well as the potential limitations of Bitcoin’s current consensus model.
In the hours before the southern Chinese city of Chengdu entered a coronavirus lockdown, Matthew Chen visited four vegetable markets in an attempt to stock up on fresh food. But seemingly the entire city had the same idea, and by the time he got to each place, most of the shelves had been stripped bare, except for hot peppers and fruit, he said.
Mr. Chen, a white-collar worker in his 30s, managed to scavenge enough cherry tomatoes, meat and greens for about one day, and since then has been ordering grocery deliveries to tide him through the lockdown, which began on Friday. But he worries about whether that supply will remain stable, and how much longer he will have to rely on it.
Thanks to Beijing’s sprawling internet censorship apparatus, content critical of the Chinese government rarely survives on the internet for long. As a result, users have become adept at using code like “Martian” language, emojis, and braille to evade censors.
Sometimes, however, even everyday language is enough to confound online censorship mechanisms.
It wasn’t exactly news when a principal in Nebraska censored a high school newspaper, canceled the school’s journalism program and abruptly disbanded its student newspaper. I mean, it’s news news, but it’s not surprising news. Red state bureaucrats and politicians have been at war with the First Amendment for a while now.
Even school officials’ reason for shutting down The Viking Saga, the award-winning 54-year-old student paper at Northwest High School in Grand Island, Neb., wasn’t exactly a shock. When the school principal announced a new edict requiring student journalists, including at least three transgender staff members, to use bylines that match their legal names, the Saga staff members responded in its June issue with two opinion pieces on L.G.B.T.Q. issues and an article explaining the history of homophobia and the origins of Pride Month.
This summer, a viral video of a group of women being viciously attacked in a restaurant sparked national outrage. The response has been quashed.
Chinese prosecutors said Monday they had launched criminal proceedings against 28 people suspected of assaulting a group of women in a viral incident that sparked outrage over gender-based violence in the country.
The United States said it remained concerned about Turkey's censorship of free speech, and women's groups protested in Istanbul on Saturday, after the arrest of pop star Gulsen over a past quip she made about religious schools.
For medical reasons I had to spend the latter half of yesterday and the first half of today in a very idle manner. No need to expand on that except to say that it was planned and all is fine.
Two days ago I was talked into buying a Rubik’s cube. I’ve had one before but never been motivated to learn it, but now it was one of few things that I could do with my time.
It took me two hours to solve it the first time, following a thorough tutorial on youtube. Every time I missed a step or messed something up I started from the beginning. Subsequently I was already very good at the first two steps after solving it just that one time.
James is noticeably upset. His hands are shaking, his voice is cracking, and his grey toupee is slightly askew, but I can't really tell him that. He takes another sip of his Donald Duck juicebox and looks around.
There are 11 computers with dark screens, the newest of the IBM PS/2 line, sitting on tables on an otherwise empty stage. A couple of actors are running lines off the side, and my partner is sleeping in the first row of chairs.
I've just finished listening to the Homogenic episode of Bjork's new podcast series Sonic Symbolism.[1] Each episode of the podcast is a retrospective look at a Bjork album.
The series as a whole (so far) is a beautiful examination the way art mirrors life, the way that the spirit and time of the artist is woven into the artwork.
Having studied lots of post-structuralist philosophy, I have always been a bit too cynical about the extent to which the artist informs the meaning of their work. I've read too many pieces on how the names 'author' and 'artist' are just products of capitalist economics, and that it is always dangerous to reduce the meaning of a work to its author. 'Damien Hirsh' or 'Stephen King' are just names or labels, like 'Nike' or 'Chanel'. Furthermore, focusing too much on the artists themselves can result in overly-'psychologised' explanations of a work, while a critical analysis of the social structures and means of production surrounding the work result in a more 'progressive' view.
I have moved across the country! I’m totally wiped out and still have much to do, so please forgive a rambling post. Several things have popped up and they feel related and timely to me.
