Many modern application designs are event-driven, aiming to deliver events quickly.€ This article describes how to orchestrate event-driven microservices using standards like CNCF CloudEvents and Kubernetes APIs for Knative to simplify EDA-style application development.
The Event Driven Architecture (EDA)€ allows the implementation of loosely coupled applications and services. In this model, event producers do not know for which event consumers are listening, and the event itself does not know the consequences of its occurrence. EDA is a good option for distributed application architectures.
Figure 1 illustrates an example of an event-driven application consisting of three services, producing and consuming different events with an event bus responsible for the orchestration and routing of the events. Note that “Service 3” produces an event indicating the business process finished, but there is no consumer for the event.
When it comes to managing microservices, the possibilities are truly endless with service mesh and API management. You might think service mesh and API management are competing technologies—however, they are actually complementary and can help revolutionize the way you manage and secure your microservices and APIs.
In this article, we will explore the benefits of using service mesh and API management together, using a fictitious travel company as an example.€
Service mesh versus API management
Service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer that gives you the power to manage and control communication between microservices, with features like traffic management, service discovery, load balancing, and security.
API management refers to the process for€ creating, publishing, and managing APIs€ that connect applications and data across the enterprise and across clouds. This approach lets you€ control access to your APIs with authentication, authorization, rate limiting, and monitoring.
Together, service mesh and API management can improve the reliability, scalability, security, and performance of your microservices and APIs, as we'll see in the following scenarios.
The goal of Edubuntu is to bring the freedom of Linux and open-source software into the classroom. But the operating system is not limited to K-12 within the hallowed halls of schools. Edubuntu is also a great platform for kids (of all ages) at home.
Think of Edubuntu this way: It's an open-source operating system that includes the software you need to learn. Whether you're looking to focus on math, science, art, social sciences, or technology, Edubuntu has something up its sleeve for you.
GNU cpio version 2.14 is available for download.

The --reproducible option implies --ignore-dirlink.€ In other words, it is equivalent to --ignore-devno --ignore-dirnlink --renumber-inodes.

This new entry will cover ways to configure global preferences for Maui Apps and Maui Shell.
MauiMan
MauiMan stands for Maui Manager, and exists for setting, saving, and syncing the configuration preferences for the Maui Apps ecosystem. These configurations are global, and some of them can be overridden by the apps themselves, but more about that later. To store the configurations MauiMan uses the MauiMan.conf config file, located at your local config path: for example ~/.config/Maui/MauiMan.conf.
(!) The settings modifications are only written/saved when using the MauiMan API directly.
MauiMan consists of two parts, a (1) background server that syncs and broadcasts the preference properties changes to all the running Maui Apps, and a (2) public API, that allows app developers to easily hook their apps to the system preferences. The MauiMan server program is named MauiManServer and uses the DBus IPC.
The public API and the server are divided into modules: for different setting categories, such as Theme, Background, Accessibility, FormFactor, etc.

Two of the most important Linux utilities are being rewritten in Rust to provide greater memory safety for the critical functionality they provide.
Linux is a mult-user operating system with a root account that has ultimate access to the system. When a normal user needs to perform a task that would normally require root access, they can use sudo or su to temporarily elevate their privileges. This is a much safer option than logging into the root account directly.

Rumors of Xbox shutting down in 2023 are not unfounded. Microsoft has been hit hard over the last year, and first-party Xbox games during this time have been largely a disappointment. A lot of fans were looking to the Xbox console exclusive Redfall by Arkane Studios to bring some excitement back to the Xbox catalog, but reviews have called the game middling at best. Both the quantity and quality of first-party games have dampened the future of Xbox Series X|S.

I try to wake up a half hour before my first meeting of the day. Today I woke up to find that the meeting had been pushed back half an hour, to the very minute that I was waking up. That one is followed by back-to-back meetings until lunchtime.
After being stretched too thin earlier this year, it was nice to have a stint where I could really relax.
Once I got that 5Th shift dropped and my schedule got shuffled around, my week opened up dramatically. I found myself being able to sleep in most days and having Thursdays practically all to myself. It was nice at first, being able to just take my mornings slow and do my schoolwork if I had any. However, every day that I spent relaxing made it all the more hard to not do the same the next day. It just felt like no matter how much I relaxed I nevertheless was still tired.
Then I started writing on Gemini again. I didn't draw the connection immediately but I suddenly started feeling way more well-rested on the days I posted. I almost made it a routine, wake up, make coffee, sit down and write for a couple hours, shower, go to work. This was pretty good, but I found myself prioritizing my writing over school, chores, and other responsibilities. I could have been doing more than just writing, but the fact I was getting up at 10:00 left me only a few hours before work. I kept procrastinating, putting off things that didn't have true due dates, like renewing my divers license.
Obviously, this is a big one which I can't believe they didn't mention!
Pretty much everyone who cooks at home should have at least a small herb garden, even just some window pots. Herbs are expensive to buy, spoil very quickly once chopped, and can be quite wasteful if you only need a little at a time. Rosemary, sage, thyme, basil, oregano, and much else besides are all worth growing.
Tomatoes are probably the next worth doing, even if all you have is a balcony. Home grown tomatoes actually taste of something. Even farmers' markets don't compare, and grocery store tomatoes are just so very bland. If you've never eaten a home grown tomato then you've never eat a tomato; not one worth having anyway.
