Hello and welcome back to my blog! This time I will be reviewing the work I've done during the first coding period of GSoC '23. This blog is written as part of my work for GSoC '23, to detail all the work I have done. Let's get started!
Sorry for the late blog post everyone! Personal life and some roadblocks on the project got in the way but I am proud to say that the driver is up and working!
Problems, Problems, and more Problems
I got the semaphore problem settled, but I then ran into a problem where the data that the application on the interface side sends a packet was then not receiving the packet. Through some debugging I found out that the interface, when it goes into
device_consumer_threadfor getting the receive function, it fails here. Looking deeper into when thatinterface->receive_funcselement gets assigned I found the function here which I realized is never called when I callifconfigto set up the interface. I ran into the solution to the problem by just changing the type of datalink frame from loopback to an ethernet frame that the interface will be using from now on. That brought the packet to an interface and I started to get a new problem of course :)

June 30th, 2024 is a pivotal date in the world of enterprise Linux. For almost 20 years, CentOS Linux has been, for many, the choice for server workloads. However, that's about to change when CentOS Linux 7, the last live version of the Community ENTerprise Operating System, is going end of life. This means the repositories will be shut down, no new versions will be released and no new updates will be made available.

Over the last few years, we’ve all been given a valuable lesson in both the promise and limitations of advanced molecular biology methods for clinical diagnostics. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was held up as the “gold standard” of COVID-19 testing, but the cost, complexity, and need for advanced instrumentation and operators with specialized training made PCR difficult to scale to the levels demanded by a pandemic.

Whenever phone-based thermal cameras are brought up here on Hackaday, we inevitably receive some comments about how they’re a bad investment compared to a standalone unit. Sure they might be cheaper, but what happens in a couple years when the app stops working and the manufacturer no longer feels like keeping it updated?
When the Antikythera Mechanism was first discovered, it wasn’t viewed as the wonder that we know it today. Originally the divers who found the device and the first scientists to look at it wrote it off as an astrolabe or other some other common type of clock. It wasn’t until decades later when another set of scientists x-rayed the device and surveyed more of the shipwreck where it was found that it began to become one of the more important archaeological discoveries in history. There have been plenty of attempts to recreate this device, and this replica recreates the mechanisms of the original but is altered so it can be built in a modern workshop.
Recent discussions in the European Parliament can seriously undermine existing cyber security practices and open source development by setting disproportionate obligations and strict requirements for vendors supplying products in Europe.
The PostgreSQL Community Association (PGCA, aka the PostgreSQL Community Association of Canada) wishes to provide guidance on the use of an infringing trademark on what is claimed to be a PostgreSQL community event. The event in question is hosted by Fundación PostgreSQL, which is still defending the registration of a trademark confusingly similar to the PostgreSQL community’s trademark registrations.
The PostgreSQL community has guidelines on running a “community event,” which help organizers provide a consistent, positive experience across all PostgreSQL events. PostgreSQL events that follow the community guidelines are allowed to use the PostgreSQL trademarks following the terms of the PostgreSQL trademark policy.

Within the Artificial Intelligence and natural language research communities, Lisp has played a major role since 1960. Over the years since its introduction, various development environments have been created that sought to make using Lisp as easy and powerful as possible. One of these environments is Interlisp, which saw its first release in 1968, and its last official release in 1992. That release was Medley 2.0, which targeted various UNIX machines, DOS 4.0, and the Xerox 1186. Courtesy of the Interlisp open source project (GitHub), Medley Interlisp is available for all to use, even on modern systems.
Today, Imagination Technologies announced some very exciting news: they are now using Zink for full OpenGL 4.6 support! Collabora had the pleasure of working together with engineers from Imagination to make this a reality, and it’s very rewarding to now be able show the results to the world!
More importantly, this is the first time we’ve seen a hardware vendor trust the OpenGL-on-Vulkan Mesa driver enough to completely side-step a native OpenGL driver and use it in a shipping product. It’s wonderful to see that Zink can realistically be used as a work-horse, especially in a high-performance graphics setting.

Time to use arrays in bash shell scripts in this chapter. Learn to add elements, delete them and get array length.
When writing bash scripts, it’s common to encounter a variety of errors, especially when you’re first starting out. One common error message that users often encounter is the “syntax error near unexpected token newline”.
In the fourth chapter of the series, learn to use basic mathematics in Bash.
The design philosophy of Unix is fairly straightforward. Software should do one thing as simply as possible, and do that one thing only. As a design principle this is sound advice even well outside of the realm of Unix, and indeed software in general, but that doesn’t stop modern software packages from being too large for their own good. So, if you’re tired of bloated chat programs like Slack or Mattermost with their millions of lines of code, you might instead favor something like Simple Unix Chat (suc).
Red Hat fiasco continues and we have an opinion on it. Apart from that you see the continuation of our Bash Basics and Terminal Tuesday series.
In the world of shell scripting, efficient string manipulation is a crucial skill. Being able to replace one substring with another in a given string can significantly enhance the functionality and flexibility of your bash scripts.
