http://techrights.org/videos/union-and-strike-busting.webm Summary: The Central Staff Committee of the EPO lashes out at the EPO’s administration for persisting with illegal tactics; it should be increasingly clear to Mr. Breton and other_Eurocrats that the EPO’s administration isn’t subjected to oversight by anybody, not even judges of the ILOAT THE EPO is a criminal_institution, run by Mafioso- or Mafia-like elements trying_to_convert_the_institution_into_cash_by_breaking_all_the_basic_rules_and foundations_of_this_institution. What best describes the process by which Benoît_Battistelli and António_Campinos seized and then maintained their positions of power is “Organised_Crime”. They closely coordinated this institutional power grab for years. ILO has repeatedly complained, in several formal publications in fact, that the EPO had slipped out of control; ILOAT considered kicking out the EPO. “ILO has repeatedly complained, in several formal publications in fact, that the EPO had slipped out of control; ILOAT considered kicking out the EPO.”The new letter, which is shown above, explains the severity of the situation. We’re reproducing it below in HTML form (for conversion to plain text and GemText). The Central Staff Committee says that the EPO’s “administration published an unsigned announcement the day after the strike to provide the participation rates. The percentage of staff participating increased when compared to the last strike in December 2020, but on closer inspection, some of the details seemed off.” They wrote about this over a week ago. But by now they’ve had more time to study the situation. “We thank the colleagues who assisted us by reaching out to share their experiences,” they say. “This publication explains what we have learnt about the reliability of the purported figures and the reluctance from the administration to fully acknowledge the right to strike.” Here it is: Munich, 04/04/2022 sc22040cp § What are the real strike figures?⠀➾ The administration published an unsigned announcement the day after the strike to provide the participation rates. The percentage of staff participating increased when compared to the last strike in December 2020, but on closer inspection, some of the details seemed off. We thank the colleagues who assisted us by reaching out to share their experiences. This paper explains what we have learnt about the reliability of the purported figures and the reluctance from the administration to fully acknowledge the right to strike. Strike participation rate: who cares about accuracy anyway? The official announcement states that 24.45% of staff officewide participated in the strike action. However, HR management informed us that this number only includes those whose participation was successfully registered in the strike tool, which is managed solely by the administration. We had contacted the administration in the days before the strike to point at the many errors and bugs (including disappearing registrations) in the tool experienced by staff, but they decided it was not necessary to act. This prompted SUEPO to publish advice that registration in the faulty tool was actually not a legal requirement and an email to the line-manager would suffice. HR management also informed us that staff on sick leave who registered in the tool were not counted in the figures, and we wonder whether this is also the case for other forms of leave. As such, we find it difficult to trust the numbers published by the administration, and we conclude that the reported 24.45% participation rate is only the minimum percentage. From the echoes received, the strike participation seems to be substantially higher. Strike day production numbers: misleading and lacking context The administration could not refrain from adding the bizarre and triumphant statement to the announcement that “despite the strike, our Office’s production remained strong: in the course of the day 1 357 products were finalised.” They did not provide any context for the number in general, but from the dashboards we find that the cited figure was -310 products below plan1. In addition, they neglected to mention that the day of the strike coincided with an unusually high number of production points from DEAD coding (around 300 compared to the daily average of around 60; found via an appropriate epoque query). This apparent attempt to mislead staff did not go unnoticed, and colleagues contacted us to inform us of the “coincidence” of having DEAD points assigned to them on the day of strike. They also shared their feeling that the tone of the announcement was disrespectful and contemptuous. _____________ 1 See snapshot on page 2 of “SUEPO action of 22 March 2022: A striking success”, SUEPO paper of 24 March 2022 (su22017cp) ===================================================================== Our demands to the President At a time the EPO pretends to increase transparency, the strike organisation on the part of the administration scores far below all benchmarks. From an Office putting in place micro-management and precisely counting products or tasks fulfilled by every single individual staff member, such negligence confirms that the administration is only reluctantly acknowledging the right to strike after the ILOAT (e.g. judgment 4435; see report) ordered to put an end to eight years of illegal strike regulations. In light of these events, we have sent three demands in a letter to the President: • that our concerns with the strike registration tool be addressed and the instruction to register in a tool be removed • that he allows an observer from the strike organising body (union / staff representation) to oversee the counting of the strike participation figures • that clarification be provided for colleagues who desire to strike during periods of leave (sick, annual, parental/family, home, other unpaid). It is to be expected that the administration desires to defend its position during strike actions, but it should also show integrity when doing so and avoid presenting misleading production figures. Freedom of association also requires that management does not interfere into the organisation and in particular when it comes to requisitioning, registering and counting. The Central Staff Committee Suffice to say, insulting the intelligence of staff is counter-productive (to say the least) and can incite the staff to go on more strikes. All we have here is another Battistelli. █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 381 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at

Video_download_link | md5sum 4ce4cb514b690bd092e2ddc319c04e80 For-Profit Spying Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0 http://techrights.org/videos/spying-spun-as-private-companies.webm Summary: When dealing with industrial and political espionage through the likes of GAFAM (Gulag, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft; or “MAGMA” if you call Facebook “Meta”) and various telecom companies, Internet-centric tentacles (Twitter, Netflix, Clownflare etc.) or other US conglomerates (e.g. HP, Oracle, ICBM and Intel) you’d be led to believe that they’re purely private ventures, even if or when they lose a a lot money and are occasionally assisted by their borrowings-drunk government (or subsidies_from_taxpayers); there’s sufficiently strong evidence and public information (OSINT) showing that just like “Big Oil” receives subsidies (despite making obscene profits) and “Big Banks” being bailed out (an incentive to rob the public and pass risk to the public) the data-hoarding or information-stealing above-the-law firms are more like militarily_strategic Pentagon spin-offs and this will be the subject of this year’s slow-paced series THIS SITE has written about privacy for many years (a lot more so a decade ago when the subject was vastly “hotter”, both before and after the Edward Snowden- led NSA leaks). Journalism has been gradually (and rapidly) dying over the years and we occasionally hear from people spurned by the media, not because what they say is false but because corporate media giants don’t wish to entertain the subject or deem it “unimportant” (to affluent media owners, not to the public). “The series will certainly be slow because of the need to verify claims.”This year we’re planning to compensate somewhat for this information vacuum. Yesterday we published the last_part_in_a_long_series (about 23 hours of video) about the media’s failure to cover patent affairs, with focus on the collapse of the EPO and, by extension, the Rule_of_Law_in_central_Europe. In the coming few weeks we’ll bring down from the shelves several stories we’ve been sitting on for a while. They concern American companies and even some “Open Source” projects with links to the National Security Agency (NSA). Wall Street and the government pump/pour money into them, jingoistic with slogans like "nothing_is beyond_our_reach". At_what_cost? The series will certainly be slow because of the need to verify claims. Producing leaked documents is risky not just to sources but also to us (for reasons explained in the video above), so a degree of trust needs to be established. The evidence isn’t hearsay/word of mouth (strictly verbal) as people inside “the system” saw it firsthand. “The evidence isn’t hearsay/word of mouth (strictly verbal) as people inside “the system” saw it firsthand.”To get ‘warmed up’ a bit, we’re going to share just one example that we have, alluding to election meddling activities. People from the inside can attest to that “and just to clarify about my connections to the NSA, I worked for New Knowledge previously [...] about 8 months,” one such person told us. “That’s where I met the guy that said that elastic search was all NSA. They tried to influence elections and caught…” There are other examples of this kind. “I was fired for questioning the ethics of the project,” the person said. Other people have experienced similar things and in the future we might name some companies and “persons of interest”. The unfortunate thing is, even small and allegedly “secure” or “private” communication tools are being targeted. To give an example from half_a_year ago: In-Q-Tel, a nonprofit investment firm started by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), recently poured more than $1.6 million into encrypted messaging platform Wickr, according to public disclosure records reviewed by Motherboard. The $1.6 million was transferred before Amazon purchased the company, but highlights Wickr’s continuing position as an end-to-end encrypted messaging app for government agencies. Beyond the In-Q-Tel investment, Wickr also has a specific product approved by the Department of Defense, and as Motherboard reported last month, a new $900,000 contract with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Jack Poulson, executive director of Tech Inquiry, first flagged the money transfer to Motherboard. As he pointed out, one of In-Q-Tel’s Form 990s, which describes compensation paid to outside contractors, mentions a payment to a company called “W I.” That company’s address—1459 18th Street, San Francisco—is identical to that of Wickr Inc., according to other public corporate records. Wickr is “small time” compared to what the CIA does with GAFAM/MAGMA. We’ll get to that later this year. █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 883 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2022/04/04/nantucket-libreplanet-talk/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2022/04/04/nantucket-libreplanet-talk/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 04.04.22⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Nicholas_Bernhard_on_Freedom-respecting_E-book_Platform_Nantucket⠀✐ Posted in Free/Libre_Software at 2:10 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Video_download_link https://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2588/saturn-saturday- 1335.webm Summary: This talk was uploaded a_week_ago. “This talk is about Nicholas’s journey of building Nantucket E-books, an ethical, and freedom-respecting e- book platform, including ensuring compliance with the GNU LibreJS browser extension.” Licence: CC_BY_SA_4.0 Note: The first 30 seconds are silent, so they should be skipped. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 922 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2022/04/04/operation-campinoz/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2022/04/04/operation-campinoz/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 04.04.22⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ [Meme]_Operation_CampinoZ⠀✐ Posted in Deception, Europe, Patents at 11:28 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Putin and his long-time confidant Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu: 'Reform' in progress: What are you looking at, Punk?

Nevertheless, I wished to do a quick video response to this_article and mention some prior_Microsoft_excuses_as_well. The market_share of Windows is still_falling_steadily, Vista_11's_share_is negligible (as of January it was around 1%!), there_are_purely_technical reasons_to_avoid_it (not only financial reasons), and we assume OEMs continue to ship it partly_because_of_bribery. “It’s quite a miracle that Windows still has any market share left at all.”The above video lumps in several other issues like ads inside applications, extensive surveillance in one’s local (or offline) machine, not to mention additional dangerous restrictions (risk of getting locked out of one’s own computer!), listening devices, and growing levels of bloat which cannot be undone (there’s no solution to this). It’s quite a miracle that Windows still has any market share left at all. According to numbers_from_early_April (screenshot is minutes old), Windows has only years left in it. █ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Windows market share today down to 28%⦈ Vista 11 was released in October;

Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * GNU/Linux o Distributions o Devices/Embedded * Free_Software/Open_Source * Leftovers * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ 9to5Linux_Weekly_Roundup:_April_3rd,_2022⠀⇛ This week we were busy test driving the beta releases of the upcoming Fedora Linux 36 and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS distributions, but we also got lots of new updates, starting with GParted 1.4, LibreOffice 7.3.2, Lutris 0.5.10, Claws Mail 4.1, and Shotcut 22.03.10, and continuing with KDE Plasma 5.24.4, Porteus Kiosk 5.4, Deepin 20.5, Finnix 124, and Nitrux 2.1. On top of that, I take a look at the latest Xfce app releases in March 2022 and notify Ubuntu users about a new Linux kernel security update for their systems. You can enjoy this and much more in 9to5Linux’s Linux weekly roundup for April 3rd, 2022, below! o § Kernel Space⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux_Kernel_5.18_RC1_Unveils_AMD,_Intel_Updates_and Tesla’s_FSD_SoC_Support!⠀⇛ Linux Kernel 5.18 RC1 released with processor, storage and Tesla’s FSD Chip support o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Xfce_Terminal_1.0_Stable_Release_Is_Out_Full_of Improvements⠀⇛ After 15 months, a new stable release of Xfce Terminal 1.0 is available, packed with improvements for everyone to enjoy! A terminal emulator is a program that lets you use a terminal in a graphical environment. Because most people use an operating system with a graphical user interface (GUI) for their day-to-day computer needs, most Linux users require a terminal emulator. Fortunately, the open-source community offers us a wide selection of these, including the rapidly gaining popularity of GPU-Accelerated terminal emulators. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_KTorrent_on_Ubuntu_22.04 LTS⠀⇛ KTorrent is a BitTorrent application that can be used to download files using the BitTorrent protocol. It has multiple features that make it a full-featured client for BitTorrent, and it can be run simultaneously with numerous torrents. Some of its features include: creating torrents, managing torrents, adding trackers, choosing a port number, setting up speed limits, etc. KTorrent is available on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux operating systems. In the following tutorial, you will learn how to install KTorrent on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish. The tutorial will use the command line terminal with complete steps to install the official repository and tips on updating and removing the software securely and adequately. # ⚓ How_to_Install_and_Enable_SSH_server_on_Fedora_35_– NextGenTips⠀⇛ Secure Shell Protocol (SSH) is a cryptographic network protocol for operating network services securely over an unsecured network. Notably used for remote logins and command-line execution. SSH protects the privacy and integrity of the transferred data or files over a network. It helps block sniffing attacks on the network. In this tutorial, I will show you how to install and enable the SSH server on fedora 35. Before we can install the SSH server, we first need to understand how this server works. It mostly works on the client/server model. The SSH client initiates the setup of a secure connection and the SSH server listens to the incoming connection on TCP port 22 and makes a response. The server then authenticates itself to the client by providing the public key. This allows the client to know it is communicating with the correct server. # ⚓ Trend Oceans ☛ How_to_Stop/Remove_multiple_docker containers_at_once_–_TREND_OCEANS⠀⇛ When you are running a couple of containers, it’s okay to stop or remove containers one by one, but it’s not feasible when you are running multiple microservice containers. In my instance, I have a bunch of microservices that get deployed and stacked together. In total, I have more than 25+ service containers running and now I want to stop them. What command should I run to stop or remove all Docker containers at once? It’s not a big deal; you can remove or stop containers at once by running a single command, which is the confluence of multiple commands. # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Nomacs_on_Ubuntu_22.04_LTS⠀⇛ Nomacs is an open-source, free image viewer that supports multiple platforms. You can use it for viewing all standard formats, including RAW and PSD files, by tapping on the widget with additional information such as thumbnails or histograms revealed beneath its semi-transparent surface – no need to open up another app! The imaging software also contains many features, such as it can be used to adjust the brightness, contrast, and hue of an image while maintaining saturation. It also has a pseudo color function that allows you to create false colors studies in one go with ease! Another unique feature about nomac’s software is its ability for multiple instances where it will sync up any changes made from different zoom levels or panning motions, so they match perfectly on screen at all times – making review sessions much more informative than before as well because viewers can see exactly how things changed when zooming around inside each photo frame. # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_uGet_on_Ubuntu_22.04_LTS⠀⇛ uGet is a lightweight download manager perfect for those who want to speed up their downloads without installing a bloated program. It’s also open- source, which means the code is available for anyone who wants to take a look and make modifications as they see fit. This could be great news if you are looking for a specific feature that is not currently offered by uGet or if you are encountering any problems with the program. uGet comes packaged as a portable Windows app and an installer for GNU/Linux users. This makes it easy to use regardless of your operating system preference and allows you to keep it on your USB drive to take it with you wherever you go. In the following tutorial, you will learn how to install or upgrade to the latest version of the uGet download manager on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish using a recommended Launchpad PPA repository by the uGet team to provide the most up- to-date version using the command line terminal. # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_MyPaint_on_Ubuntu_22.04 LTS⠀⇛ MyPaint is a free, open-source digital painting program that you can edit your artwork. It has many features for easy to create backgrounds and figures on canvas or paper! For users migrating from Windows and using the native paint program, this feels similar to it but has much more features. In the following tutorial, you will learn how to install MyPaint on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish using two different methods, which are APT with Ubuntu’s default repository or the Flatpak third- party package manager using the command line terminal. # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Geeqie_on_Ubuntu_22.04_LTS ⠀⇛ Geeqie is a simple and easy-to-use image viewer that can be used on any Linux system. It has many features, including a thumbnail view, zoom capabilities with adjustable magnifications for every detail in an image, and filters to help you find what type of picture it may contain more quickly than ever! In the following tutorial, you will learn how to install Geeqie on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish. The tutorial will use the command line terminal with complete steps to install the official repository and tips on updating and removing the software securely and adequately. # ⚓ Linux Shell Tips ☛ How_to_Download_Files_with_Wget_Command in_Linux⠀⇛ Wget command is a command-line tool that downloads files over the internet to your Linux system. It accepts multiple options which alter the nature of the file download such as saving a file with a different name, downloading a file to a specified location on the Linux system other than the present working directory, limiting the bandwidth and so much more. In our guide, we explore different wget command usage examples in Linux. # ⚓ Linux Shell Tips ☛ How_to_Install_Webmin_Admin_Tool_on Debian_10/11⠀⇛ Being a Linux enthusiast only has pros. There are more than enough Linux operating systems to play around with or explore. Linux server administration and management skills are important for the configuration of your Linux operating system internals like files, services, disk quotas, and users. However, one can only get so far with Linux server administration and management due to the need to master and execute Linux command sequences set to meet certain objectives. Web admin creates a compartmentalization experience as you explore Linux server management and administration. You do not need to walk around with Linux OS commands manually to check the status of your Linux server machines. # ⚓ FOSSBytes ☛ How_To_Install_Wine_On_Linux?⠀⇛ Wine is an incredible tool that can help you install Windows apps on Linux, but how exactly can you install it on your Linux PC? In this article, we’ll be looking at installing Wine on all Linux distributions. For those who don’t know how Wine works or what it means, Wine stands for “Wine is not an emulator” (Yep, Linux nerds love recursions), and it’s a program that uses the Windows API along with other libraries to install and run Windows apps (.exe files) on Linux. # ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ How_to_Delete_Multiple_Lines_in_Vim⠀⇛ Want to delete multiple lines or all lines or all empty lines in Vim? Here are a few tips to know about line deletion in Vim. # ⚓ Export_And_Import_KVM_Virtual_Machines_In_Linux_– OSTechNix⠀⇛ In this article, I will walk you through the steps to export the KVM virtual machine disk and configurations and later import them into the same machine or into a different machine. I will also show you how to export and import KVM virtual machines with a Bash script. # ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Eye_of_GNOME_on_Ubuntu_20.04_LTS⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Eye of GNOME on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. For those of you who didn’t know, Eye of GNOME is the default image viewer for the GNOME desktop environment within Linux. It integrates with the GIMP ToolKit (GTK) look and feel of GNOME and supports various image formats such as BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, SVG, TIFF, and many more for viewing single images or images in a collection. 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 Eye of GNOME image viewer on Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa).

This database is a great option for enterprise businesses or any company looking to leverage massive data sets. # ⚓ OpenSource.com ☛ How_I_use_the_Git_for-each-ref_command_for DevOps_|_Opensource.com⠀⇛ For most of today’s developers, using Git is akin to breathing, in that you can’t live without it. Along with version control, Git’s use has even expanded in recent years into the area of GitOps, or managing and versioning configurations through Git. What a lot of users don’t realize or think about is that Git tracks not only file changes for each commit but also a lot of meta-data around commits and branches. Your DevOps can leverage this data or automate IT operations using software development best practices, such as with CI/CD. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ RetroDECK_is_another_solution_for_emulation gaming_on_Steam_Deck_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Was EmuDeck not to your liking? Perhaps RetroDECK might be what you’re after for retro emulation on the Steam Deck. Unlike EmuDeck that has you install multiple things in a list, and have them all separated, the idea of RetroDECK is more to bring a “one-click experience, and to separate retrogames from steam library” the developer says. It comes as a Flatpak to install, and from there it should have everything bundled together. Inspired by the likes of 351ELEC (what it’s forked from), EmuELEC, CoreELEC, Lakka, and Batocera. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Meifumado_is_an_action_game_set_in_a_post- apocalyptic_world_inspired_by_Japan_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Love your pixel-art side-scrolling action RPGs? Keep an eye on Meifumado, as it looks pretty good and it will be coming to Linux the developer has confirmed. It recently had a successful Kickstarter campaign, where Old Bit Studio raised $48,018 to bring out the full version. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ A_Short_Hike_gets_Steam_Deck_Support,_and_a 99_player_multiplayer_mod_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ You can now go on A Short Hike wherever you want with the Steam Deck and perhaps bring along a whole lot of friends too. More about it: Hike, climb, and soar through the peaceful mountainside landscapes of Hawk Peak Provincial Park. Follow the marked trails or explore the backcountry as you make your way to the summit. Along the way, meet other hikers, discover hidden treasures, and take in the world around you. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Online_platformer_DDraceNetwork_gets_Vulkan support_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ DDraceNetwork, a free and open source online co-op platformer now has Vulkan API integrated as of the latest update. Starting off life as a simple mod for Teeworlds, nowadays it’s a popular standalone multiplayer platformer that can be quite the challenge. Seems it’s remaining somewhat popular too, especially with the Steam release, which sees over 2,000 players online at a time every day. Might not sound like a lot but it’s more than the likes of some much more well-known indie and AAA titles, so it is pretty impressive. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Lila’s_Sky_Ark_gets_a_great_new_trailer_and releases_April_21_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Lila’s Sky Ark from Monolith of Minds is a standalone prequel story to their previous game Resolutiion and it looks absolutely gorgeous. “Lila’s psychedelic world is in grave danger. Help her and her eccentric friends stop the Conductor’s minions from destroying all things musical and magical in this meditative action-adventure game. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Kitsune_Zero_DLC_announced_for_Super_Bernie World_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Super Bernie World, a free platformer that released back in 2020, is getting a paid DLC named Kitsune Zero. It’s going to be a prequel to their upcoming platformer Kitsune Tails, which takes inspiration from platformers later in the 8-bit generation, that will release in 2023. “Run, jump, and stomp on ghostlike creatures from Japanese folklore lurking in the countryside and castles. Collect powerups that make Yumi grow in size, grant fireball abilities, and make her invincible for a short time. Gather the necessary ingredients to break the pact’s magic and take down the leader of the samurai clan to end the war. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Patrick’s_Parabox_is_an_absolutely brilliant_mind-bending_puzzle_game_out_now_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Patrick’s Parabox is a puzzle game about boxes within boxes, it’s an absolute gem and I’ve had a fantastic time playing through this one. # ⚓ Video ☛ Everyone’s_got_the_wrong_idea_about_Dev_Mode_on_the Steam_Deck._–_Invidious⠀⇛ Unlocking the Steam Deck’s Filesystem is NOT OKAY, but Dev Mode is perfectly fine. You (probably) have no idea what Dev Mode does on the Steam Deck. I’m here to clear this up. # ⚓ Ubuntu Pit ☛ 5_Best_Space_Games_for_Linux:_Play_To_Explore the_Universe⠀⇛ Exploring the universe is the most common desire of the curious young generation. But that is just a dream, and pretty much difficult to make it true. However, most probably, that’s the reason space games are always so popular among the young generation. When you are exploring a world, you must need a big screen. So, you will love to enjoy those games on your PC. However, if you are a Linux user and want to enjoy some space games for Linux, stick to us till the end of this article. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Links ☛ 36_Excellent_GNOME_Desktop_Extensions_ (Updated_2022)⠀⇛ Freedom of choice is a central plank of open source software. It should be the user who decides how their computer is configured. That’s very relevant when choosing and configuring a desktop environment. One of Linux’s best features is its modularity. Extensibility relates to the ability to customize a desktop environment to an individual’s preferences and tastes. This flexibility is offered by themes, extensions, and applets. The principle provides for enhancements without impairing existing system functions. o § Distributions⠀➾ # ⚓ Core_2_duo⠀⇛ I’ve installed Alpine on it and carried on with my day to day work. Mostly I program my own ERP system that I actually started build on this exact computer. Programming a TUI application works fine, however since I also try to sell the ERP system, there’s also an web interface and that is horrible slow. Running a modern chrome browser is slow. It works and I can use most sites, including youtube however it’s noticable slower and even a bit too slow to use. # § Reviews⠀➾ # ⚓ Distro Watch ☛ Review:_MassOS_2022.03_and_Neptune 7.0⠀⇛ For being such a young project, MassOS impressed me in a number of ways. The developer really understands the benefit of documentation. The steps for downloading, installing, and updating the system are all documented in detail, often with screenshots. The documentation is well organized and pleasantly to the point. In other words, we’re told how to do things and spared the developer’s philosophical views and marketing pitch. MassOS is super fast, I’m not sure I’ve ever encountered a distribution running Xfce which performed this well. The distribution has managed to disable or avoid installing almost everything it doesn’t need while including the basics most people will want. For me, at least, I was able to accomplish most tasks with the software included and a couple of Flatpaks. I suspect, were I to use MassOS longer, I’d eventually run into trouble when it came time to install more obscure development tools and command line items, but I could probably work around that by using a third-party package manager such as Nix. Finally, I really like the dark, fairly minimal interface. I like Xfce as it walks a nice line between capable and customizable. I like its balance of performance and features. I like that MassOS includes a dark theme which seems consistent across the included utilities. The desktop felt almost immediately comfortable for me – a few conveniences were presented and then it got out of my way. There are just two drawbacks I see to MassOS after a day of use. One is that it has a text installer. Which, for me, isn’t really a problem, but it gives the distribution a legacy vibe that could scare off some people. Shifting to another installer, such as Calamares, would probably attract more users. The second drawback is the lack of a built-in package manager. We may not need one for acquiring desktop software, but it would be nice to have a way to install small security updates. Getting the user to download and execute a script isn’t an ideal way to provide new versions of software. At the minimum, I think the shell script for performing updates should be included by default. However, this lack of package manager aside, MassOS is surprisingly mature for a young project. It’s fast, it seemed to be stable, it worked well with my hardware, and it’s practically documented. I really hope the developer keeps working on this as, with a few small changes, I’d feel very much at home with this distribution. # § Gentoo Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Gentoo_MIPS_stages_are_back!⠀⇛ After a long break, we finally have up-to- date Gentoo stages for the MIPS architecture available for download again! The weekly builds cover at the moment for 32- bit mips2 and mips32, for 64-bit mips3 and mips64 in o32, n32, and n64 ABI – and all that for both big and little endian. Should be good as a start for just about every hardware out there. # § Slackware Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Dedoimedo ☛ Slackware_15_–_The_old_brigade⠀⇛ Like I said earlier, this is a short review, more of a cautious sampling of what Slackware can do. I am thinking of perhaps trying it on a “real” laptop, complete with Nvidia graphics and whatnot, to see how it’s going to cope with an existing, somewhat complex partition layout and proprietary drivers. After all, if you can’t use your hardware, and installing software is a pain, then the rest doesn’t matter. I do like the spartan approach, but it’s also not feasible for most people out there. Even if you can get through the installation, the day-to-day usage needs to be simple and elegant. I don’t know how accessible Slackware is when it comes to more complex things. I am mulling that endeavor still, and it could be an interesting little exercise. Anyway, so far so good. Not bad, but definitely nerdy and true to its original mission. # § IBM/Red Hat/Fedora⠀➾ # ⚓ IBM’s_LzLabs_lawsuit_–_one_of_just_20_since_2008_–_is proof_positive_of_a_successful_licensing_programme [Ed: IBM is still a patent litigation machine]⠀⇛ A deep dive on Docket Navigator shows that IBM has filed just 20 cases as a plaintiff but has been a defendant in 152 since 2008.

Gunnar is a free software user and promoter since 1995, Debian developer since 2003, and, from 2009, is now part of the Debian keyring- maintainers group. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Notebook Check ☛ The_F(x)tec_Pro1-X_takes_a_step_closer_to shipping_but_it_may_miss_its_April_2022_target_date_– NotebookCheck.net_News⠀⇛ F(x)tec is gradually gearing to mass-produce the Pro1-X, a smartphone that it and XDA Developers hoped to ship in March 2021. As we discussed last February, F(x)tec delayed Pro1-X shipments by six months to August, which has since slipped to April 2022. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that F(x)tec will hit its revised deadline, either. Instead, trial assembly of the Pro1-X has started in Shenzhen. While the company is light on details, it has shared two videos showing the Pro1-X being manufactured. Apparently, the F(x)tec team have spent the rest of this week ‘continuously monitoring the production process’ to determine any problems before the company begins mass production. F(x)tec has not stated from when it would mass- produce the Pro1-X, though. Presumably, it will only do so if its trial assembly period is successful. Meanwhile, F(x)tec has certified the Pro1-X with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the US. Unsurprisingly, the FCC’s documents do not provide any new details about the Pro1-X. However, they are another step in the right direction for F (x)tec and the Pro1-X, its massive delays notwithstanding. To recap, the F(x)tec still relies on the Snapdragon 662, plus up to 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. Arguably, the smartphone’s biggest feature is its slide-out keyboard, which will be compatible with Android and Ubuntu Touch. F(x)tec will also sell replacement batteries and displays, unlike most Android OEMs. # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Eben_Upton_expands_on_Raspberry_Pi_shortage –_CNX_Software⠀⇛ As you may have noticed, Raspberry Pi boards may get hard to get and/or be sold at excessive prices by some resellers. Eben Upton explains the reasons behind the Raspberry Pi Shortage and provides some recommendations to work around the shortage and high prices. Raspberry Pi Trading is still manufacturing around 500,000 Raspberry Pi boards or modules per month despite the global semiconductors shortage, and the issue they face is more of a demand shock than a supply shock with demand for Raspberry Pi products having increased sharply from the start of 2021 and remains unabated as the supply chain can not handle that extra demand at this time. That means distributors have backlogs in almost all products, and it takes time for customers to get their orders. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_Power_Button_For_Raspberry_Pi,_Courtesy_Of Device_Tree_Overlays_|_Hackaday⠀⇛ As a standard feature of the Linux kernel, device tree overlays (DTOs) allow for easy enabling and configuration of features and drivers, such as those contained within the standard firmware of a Raspberry Pi system. Using these DTOs it’s trivial to set up features like as a soft power-off button, triggering an external power supply and enable drivers for everything from an external real-time clock (RTC) to various displays, sensors and audio devices, all without modifying the operating system or using custom scripts. It’s also possible to add your own DTOs to create a custom overlay that combines multiple DTO commands into a single one, or create a custom device tree binary (DTB) for the target hardware. Essentially this DTB is loaded by the Linux kernel on boot to let it know which devices are connected and their configuration settings, very similar to what the BIOS component with x86-based architectures handles automatically. # § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ How_to_Install_Pythonic_Tool_for_Trading and_Automation_on_Raspberry_Pi⠀⇛ Raspberry Pi is a great source of learning for all the users out there who wish to utilize this device for various purposes.

Since then, he has developed a strong interest in understanding the social impact of proprietary software through my deep readings of the work of Marshall McLuhan. This talk centers around a proposal that the history of the GNU General Public License, the GNU Project, and the Free Software Foundation are ripe for integration into a study of the arts and humanities. # § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ MAUI_Shell_First_Alpha_Release_is_here_with Significant_Finished_Work⠀⇛ The awesome Nitrux team manages to shell out the first Alpha release of the brand new MAUI Shell. # § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ How_to_Use_Sys.path.append()_in Python⠀⇛ Sys.path is a list of directories where the Python interpreter searches for modules. Mind you, this is a list! When a module is claimed in a project file, it will search through each one of the directories in the list. If the module is located within one of those directories, then everything goes fine and your project is successfully rendered. However, if the module is not located within any of the listed directories, then your project will fail lest you can “append” the directory where your module is located to the list using the append() function. In this tutorial, we’ll be learning about how to use sys.path.append() in Python. # § Redis⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Redis_LUA_Scripting⠀⇛ Redis is a free, open-source in-memory database widely adopted as a caching mechanism or message broker. Although it is very versatile and extensive by default, it does allow you to extend functionality using its embedded Lua interpreter. This means that you can write scripts written in Lua to perform additional operations on your Redis database. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Redis_Distributed_Lock⠀⇛ In Redis, partitioning refers to splitting data into multiple instances. This means that each Redis holds a section of your entire data set. It is a handy feature, especially when dealing with large datasets. Let us look at various types of partitioning in Redis and the cost and benefits of each. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ How_to_Use_Redis_Streams⠀⇛ Streams are a simple but versatile and powerful data structure that allows you to implement streams in Redis. Streams are built-in types from Redis version 5.0 and can help remove the limitations of log data structure. In this article, we will focus on using and working with Redis streams rather than the actual implementation. You can, however, check the docs for more. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Redis_Pipelining⠀⇛ Redis Pipelining refers to a feature that allows you to send multiple commands to the Redis server in one go. Instead of sending a command and getting a reply immediately, pipelining will enable you to create a batch command execution and run them on the server simultaneously. The primary purpose of pipelining is to improve protocol and Redis performance. Furthermore, since all commands are first organized on the client-side, it can reduce the Round Trip Time required for the client to send a request, the server to process it and return a response to the client. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Using_Redis_List⠀⇛ Redis provides us with a list data structure to store a collection of items. It is closely similar to a typical array in most programming languages. Once you add an element to a list, Redis will assign an index value starting at index 0. Let us learn how we can use and work with lists in Redis. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Using_Redis_with_Ruby⠀⇛ Redis is an in-memory, key-value pair database that is highly flexible in a wide range of scenarios. In addition, it provides a collection of primitive types that make it versatile as a caching mechanism or message broker. Let us learn how we can connect Redis with Ruby application. # § Java⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ What_is_a_Method_&_How_to_Call_a Method_in_Java?⠀⇛ Java provides a concept of methods that assist us in time management by means of code reusability. If we talk about the user-defined methods, we have to create/write them once and can utilize them again and again. In java, a method is nothing but a set of instructions that comes into action only when someone calls it. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ How_to_Use_Math.random()_Method_in Java?⠀⇛ A java method also known as a function is a block of code/instructions that may or may not take the parameters as input and returns some output. Moreover, the specified block of code will execute only when someone calls/ invokes it. In java, a method can be created by specifying the access modifier, its return type followed by the user-defined method name. To call a method, we need to specify the method name followed by small brackets(). # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ How_to_Reverse_a_List_in_Java⠀⇛ Reversing a list in Java today is not straightforward. That is why this article is written. Technically, a List in Java is an interface. An interface is a class with method signatures that do not have definitions. A class has to be implemented from this interface before objects of the implemented class can be instantiated. In the implemented class, the methods are defined. There is a class, still called List, in Java. However, this class is meant for string elements for the list. A list does not only have to be made up of strings. A list can consist of all floats, all doubles, all integers, etc. Each of these types, would need to be reversed, depending on the problem at hand. So this class is not mentioned any further in this article for the string List. Reversing a list in this article refers to the List interface made into a class and an object. There are Java predefined list classes implemented from the List interface.

Ramakrishnan is a programmer for the past 22 years and has contributed, in bits and pieces, to several GNU projects. He works for a Berlin based company called Least Authority. This talk is about a secure way to transfer information, to ourselves and others, that uses a cryptography protocol called SPAKE2. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Morse_Micro_MM6104,_MM6108_Wi-Fi_HaLow_SoCs support_up_to_32.5_Mbps_data_rate_–_CNX_Software⠀⇛ Australian company Morse Micro MM6104 and MM6108 Wi-Fi HaLow SoCs should offer some competition to the Newracom NRC chips found in all 802.11ah WiFi HaLow boards and devices released so far. Both MM610x chips have similar features, but the MM6104 SoC supports 1/2/4 MHz channel bandwidth for up to 15 Mbps data rate – just like the Newracom NRC7292 chip -, while the more powerful MM6108 can handle a data rate of up to 32.2 Mbps thanks to 1/ 2/4/8 MHz channel bandwidth. # ⚓ My_radio_broke⠀⇛ So last week my radio got stuck on its locked mode for some reason, which meant I couldn’t turn it on, off, or do anything really. So I unscrewed the back and took off the antenna, but the switch that activated the locked mode was deep in the circuitry where I couldn’t get to it, so looked it like it was toast. Today it started to randomly work again, sweet, but now the signal strength was only half as strong. So I unscrewed it again, looked closely, and noticed that where the antenna sits is completely chewed up, missing! Looked like it happened over time, but it was always working fine until I took it apart! If you touch it to some random pieces of metal anywhere on the inside, it actually gets perfect strength, yet theres nothing where the antenna is actually supposed to sit. o § Integrity/Availability⠀➾ # § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ TechRadar ☛ Windows_11_may_not_be_as_popular_as Microsoft_had_hoped⠀⇛ The explosive growth seen by Microsoft’s Windows 11 operating system over the past few months is beginning to slow, new figures suggest. The latest report from AdDuplex shows that Windows 11 user numbers are levelling out, perhaps suggesting Microsoft needs to up its game with some new updates or additions to the platform soon. For the month of March 2022, Windows 11 took just 0.1% market share from other editions of Microsoft’s software, accounting for 19.4% of the overall usage, with a further 0.6% using a Windows 11 Insider build. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ New_York’s_Party_Suppression_is_a_Form_of_Voter_Suppression and_Elitism⠀⇛ Many are outraged at recent Republican laws enacted in many states that affect voting rights. But we all should be outraged at Democrats in New York who have enacted laws to undermine voting rights in our state. These new rules ensure that only the elites in New York can run for office, that hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers will be prevented from voting for whom they truly support, limiting our choice and therefore silencing our voice. Over 250,000 New Yorkers voted for alternatives parties in 2018. Ending achievable candidate access to the ballot, as well as voter access to the election process disenfranchises voters for alternative parties like those we represent, the Green Party and the Libertarian Party. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Alex’s_journal⠀⇛ just found out that fiona apple dated louis ck around the time of his cancellation o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ Eleventy_(11ty):_Generate_Gemini_Capsule_Alongside Website⠀⇛ I’ve got several websites building with Eleventy, and I’m working on setting it up to automatically build the same sites as Gemini capsules. One set of source documents in Markdown, two formats! There may be an easier way to do this, but here’s what I’ve got so far: Copy .eleventy.js to gemini.js Create a _gemini_includes folder for the Gemini layouts (which are going to be a whole lot simpler!) o § Monopolies⠀➾ # ⚓ Living_federation⠀⇛ This talk is about the many services we commonly use in our daily lives that have FOSS alternatives that support federation.

[Ed: Dennis Crouch, funded by patent litigation lawyers, is trying to prop software patents back up]⠀⇛ In an important 2018 decision, the Federal Circuit sided partially with Berkheimer on a procedural eligibility grounds — finding disputed questions of material fact as to whether aspects of the claimed invention were “well- understood, routine, and conventional to a skilled artisan.” Berkheimer v. HP Inc., 881 F.3d 1360 (Fed. Cir. 2018), cert denied 140 S.Ct. 911 (2020). The district court had invalidated claims 1-9 as ineligible and 10-19 as indefinite. The appellate panel vacated that decision as to claims 4-7 but otherwise affirmed. # § Trademarks⠀➾ # ⚓ Mondaq ☛ Recommended_Reading:_Prof._Robert_A._Mikos, “Unauthorized_And_Unwise:_The_Lawful_Use_Requirement_In Trademark_Law”⠀⇛ Professor Robert E. Mikos takes the USPTO to task in his recent Vanderbilt Law Review article, “Unauthorized and Unwise: The Lawful Use Requirement in Trademark Law” (pdf here). He charges that “[i]n demanding compliance with sundry nontrademark laws, the PTO has lost sight of the statute it is supposed to administer.” There is no requirement of lawful use in the Lahnam Act and, he argues, there shouldn’t be. “Making registration or protection conditional on compliance with nontrademark laws does nothing to further the aims of trademark law. To refocus the PTO’s attention on the core issues of trademark law, the lawful use requirement must go.” # ⚓ The_TTABlog®:_Precedential_No._10:_TTAB_Affirms Refusal_to_Register_Handbag_Shape:_Generic_and_ (Alternatively)_Lacking_Acquired_Distinctiveness⠀⇛ The Board has re-designated this opinion as precedential. In a 51-page opinion, the Board affirmed a refusal to register the product configuration shown below, for “handbags,” finding the design to be generic and, alternatively, lacking in acquired distinctiveness: “Handbags embodying the proposed mark are so common in the industry that such product design is not capable of indicating source and … Applicant’s proposed mark is at best a minor variation thereof.” The applicant’s alternative Section 2(f) claim failed due in part to the same lack of exclusivity of use. In re Jasmin Larian, LLC, 2022 USPQ2d 290 (TTAB 2022) [precedential] (Opinion by Judge Martha B.

The detailed announcement may be found here at the USA Jobs website. The deadline for applications is April 7, 2022. # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ The_Art_Critic’s_Role_in_Fair_Use⠀⇛ Although Warhol is dead, his art, legacy, copyrights, and potential copy-wrongs live on. In the 1980s, Warhol created a set of silkscreens of the musician Prince. Prince did not personally model for the prints. Rather, Warhol worked from a set of studio photographs by Lynn Goldsmith. Apparently Vanity Fair commissioned Warhol to make an illustration for its 1984 article on Prince. As part of that process, VF obtained a license from Goldsmith, but only for the limited use “as an artist’s reference in connection with an article to be published in Vanity Fair Magazine.” The published article acknowledges Goldsmith. As part of that process, Warhol created a set of 16 Prince prints. Those have been sold and also reproduced in various forms in ways that go well beyond the original license. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2966 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 04.04.22⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Links_04/04/2022:_Linux_5.18_First_Release_Candidate⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 1:44 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * GNU/Linux o Distributions o Devices/Embedded * Free_Software/Open_Source * Leftovers * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o ⚓ Unix Men ☛ TOP_5_important_aspects_when_learning_Linux_for_a beginner⠀⇛ Linux is an open-source operating system that has gained popularity in recent years. Many people are switching to Linux because it is more secure and efficient than other operating systems. If you are thinking of making the switch, or are just starting with Linux, here are the five most important aspects you should keep in mind. Whether you choose to join a college to learn Linux or decide to study on your own, you’ll need to understand the command-line interface or CLI. In this era, where you can buy college papers, some people might suggest that you buy a college term paper on the subject. But we’ll tell you why that’s not necessary. The CLI is where users type in commands to run programs or manipulate files. It might seem daunting at first, but it’ll become second nature with practice. o ⚓ The_6_Best_Linux-based_OS_for_Android_Smartphones_–_DekiSoft⠀⇛ If you are tired of Android and are looking for an alternative operating system for your smartphone then Linux is the best choice but which one to install in today’s era of hundreds of versions. Well, don’t worry as we have compiled your list of the 6 best Linux distros for Android. This would be the same as you making your Windows PC look like Linux while keeping all the GUI features. o ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ Linux_Weekly_Roundup_#176⠀⇛ Welcome to this week’s Linux Weekly Roundup. We had a full week in the world of Linux releases with Fedora 36 Beta, Deepin 20.5, Nitrux 20220402, Arch 2022.04.01 and Ubuntu 22.04 Beta releases. o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ Synapse_Collapse_|_LINUX_Unplugged_452⠀⇛ How we nearly crashed our Matrix server; what we did wrong and how we’re fixing it. Plus an update on elementary OS, GNOME’s next chapter, and we kick off the NixOS Challenge. # ⚓ Open_Source_Security_Podcast:_Episode_317_–_The_lack_of compromise_in_security⠀⇛ Josh and Kurt talk about the binary nature of security. Many of our ideas are yes or no, there’s not much in the middle. The conversation ends up derailed due to a Twitter thread about pinning dependencies. This gives you an idea how contentious of a topic pinning is. The final takeaway is not to let security turn into your identity, it ends up making a mess. # ⚓ GNU_World_Order_454⠀⇛ # ⚓ Video ☛ Lubuntu_22.04_Beta_Run_Through_–_Invidious⠀⇛ In this video, we are looking at Lubuntu 22.04 Beta. # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ Lubuntu_22.04_Beta⠀⇛ Today we are looking at Lubuntu 22.04 Beta. It comes with LXQt 0.17.0, Linux kernel 5.15, and uses about 400-500MB of ram when idling. Enjoy! # ⚓ Video ☛ Pop!_OS_22.04_Beta_Run_Through_–_Invidious⠀⇛ In this video, we are looking at Pop!_OS 22.04 Beta. # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ Pop!_OS_22.04_Beta⠀⇛ Today we are looking at Pop!_OS 22.04 Beta.

Enjoy! # ⚓ Video ☛ YouTube’s_Unfair_Treatment_Pushes_Creators_To_Leave For_Odysee_–_Invidious⠀⇛ I see it. You see it. Sometimes your favorite video creators on YouTube all of sudden disappear. What happened? Most of the time, those creators have been temporarily or permanently banned by YouTube. Mental Outlaw is under a temporary ban right now. A few months ago, the Linux Experiment was permanently banned but thankfully his appeal was successful and YouTube reinstated him. # ⚓ Why_I’m_No_Longer_Going_to_Watch_YouTube!⠀⇛ # ⚓ Video ☛ Should_You_Say_Gnu/Linux:_No_Probably_Not_– Invidious⠀⇛ We’ve all heard the GNU/Linux meme but in all seriousness should you actually say GNU/Linux or is it just a big waste of time. o § Kernel Space⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Linux_5.18-rc1⠀⇛ So here we are, two weeks later, and the merge window is closed. The full diffstat isn't useful, because this is another of those occasional releases where the AMD drm driver adds those generated register definitions, so the diff is absolutely dominated by register definitions for DCN 3.1.x and MP 13.0.x register definitions. Don't even go look - you'll go blind. Another fairly big chunk of it (but nowhere _near_ the AMD GPU register definitions) is the updates for various Intel performance monitoring event tables. But if you ignore those two areas, things look fairly normal. At that point, it's about 60%driver updates - with GPU updates are still fairly sizable, but now no longer so dominant as to hide everything else. And all the other usual suspects too: networking, sound, media, scsi, pinctrl, clk, etc.. The rest is fairly spread out documentation and devicetree bindings (maybe I should just count that against drivers), architecture updates (biggest part of the diff: nds32 is gone, but there's all the usual x86, arm, arm64, powerpc, parisc, mips and riscv updates). Tooling updates (perf and selftests), and of course all the core kernel updates (filesystem, core, networking, VM). As always, there's _way_ too many changes to list individually, and you're just getting the usual mergelog appended. In fact, at least in pure commits, this has been a bigger merge window than we've had in some time. But let's hope it's all smooth sailing this release. Sure, that will happen. Go test, please, Linus # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ Linus_Torvalds_Announces_First_Linux_5.18 Kernel_Release_Candidate ⠀⇛ Two weeks have passed since the release of Linux kernel 5.17 and the merge window for Linux kernel 5.18, the next major kernel series, is now officially closed with the launch of the first Release Candidate (RC). Linux kernel 5.18 is shaping up to be a normal release with a normal amount of changes and new features. Nothing fancy, and nothing that stands out. It looks like there’s a little bit of everything for everyone. # ⚓ LWN ☛ Kernel_prepatch_5.18-rc1_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Linus has released 5.18-rc1 and closed the merge window for the 5.18 release. “In fact, at least in pure commits, this has been a bigger merge window than we’ve had in some time. But let’s hope it’s all smooth sailing this release.” In the end, 13,207 non-merge changesets were merged during this merge window. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Links ☛ 4_Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Passive_OS Fingerprinting_Tools⠀⇛ There are two common methods of performing system fingerprinting: active and passive scanning. The more common active methods use responses sent to TCP or ICMP packets. The TCP fingerprinting process involves setting flags in the header that different operating systems and versions respond to differently. Usually several different TCP packets are sent and the responses are compared to known baselines (or fingerprints) to determine the remote OS. For stealthy detection, there’s the option of passive fingerprinting. Unlike the active method, this style of fingerprinting does not send any packets, but relies on sniffing techniques to analyze the information sent in normal network traffic. This way there are no deliberate changes or actions against the network. # ⚓ Medevel ☛ Backup_your_Android_and_iPhone_photos_and_videos with_Immich⠀⇛ Immich is a free, open-source self-hosted solution that helps you backup and upload your photos and videos to your own server. Immich is written with Next.js framework, and uses TensorFlow, and PostgreSQL, Redis, over Nginx server. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ How_to_switch_the_language_interface_of ONLYOFFICE_on_a_Chromebook⠀⇛ Today we are looking at how to switch the language interface of ONLYOFFICE 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. # ⚓ Citizix ☛ How_to_install_and_set_up_ChartMuseum_in_Linux⠀⇛ ChartMuseum is an open-source Helm Chart Repository server written in Go (Golang), with support for cloud storage backends, including Google Cloud Storage, Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, Alibaba Cloud OSS Storage and Openstack Object Storage. # ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Micro_Text_Editor_on_Ubuntu_20.04 LTS_–_idroot⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Micro Text Editor on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. For those of you who didn’t know, Micro is a free and open- source terminal-based text editor that strives to be simple and intuitive to use while simultaneously taking advantage of the latest terminal functionalities. At the same time, it seeks to take advantage of the full capabilities of modern terminals. As its name already indicates, Micro is intended to be something like a nano editor successor for its ease of installation and use. 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 Micro Text Editor on Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa). You can follow the same instructions for Ubuntu 18.04, 16.04, and any other Debian-based distribution like Linux Mint. # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Upgrade_GIT_on_Ubuntu_20.04_LTS⠀⇛ Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa comes shipped with GIT in their principal repository; however, with Ubuntu 20.04 being an LTS system, the software packages are designed to be stable and do not typically have to include new releases with upgraded features that could break stability. Ubuntu will only ship security updates for the current LTS version of Git. Sometimes, the issue with LTS systems is that software packages fall far behind with non-security bugs occurring. Luckily with Ubuntu, we can add custom PPA’s from developers of such trustworthy software and typically are the ones to address security issues in the first place. Hence, in the case of Git, the chances of your system being vulnerable are very slim, considering the benefits of updating for new features improvements to non- security-related issues and bugs. In the following tutorial, you will learn how to upgrade to the latest GIT on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal Fossa using the GIT PPA from Launchpad using the command line terminal. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ Dreams_in_the_Witch_House_to_become_reality_on_Windows_and Linux⠀⇛ Moving away from home to go to school is tough at the best of times. You’ve got to find new friends, a place to live, and if you’re Walter Gilman, protagonist of Atom Brain Games’ upcoming genre- bending hybrid Dreams in the Witch House, a way to stop the apocalypse by the end of the semester. Set in Arkham, Massachusetts during the late 1920s, Dreams in the Witch House takes inspiration from the H.P. Lovecraft short story of the same name. Promising young student Walter Gilman has just moved to Arkham to attend Miskatonic University, renting a room at the Dombrowski’s boarding house, which is rife with rumors of supernatural occurrences. At first Gilman takes little interest in the stories, until he begins having strange dreams. Before long he discovers “a hideous scheme is underway,” and now he has only two months to “start preparing for the dreaded May-Eve.” # ⚓ Release:_PopOS_21.10_for_PS4_(with_CyberPunk_2077 gameplay),_Fedora_35_for_PS4,_+_how_to_make_your_own_PS4 Linux_Distro_–_Wololo.net⠀⇛ PS4 Scene member Noob404 has released a PS4 port of Pop! OS, an Ubuntu based Linux distro. He also released a video showcasing the OS, as well as a bit of performance testing, with gameplay of Cyberpunk 2077 through the Linux distribution. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ Plans_for_GNOME_43_and_Beyond_–_Chris’s_Design_& Development⠀⇛ The arrival of libadwaita allows us to do a few new things with the GNOME platform, since we have a platform library to help developers implement new platform features and implement them properly. For example, libadwaita gave us the opportunity to implement a global dark style preference with machinery that allows developers to choose whether they support it and easily adjust their app’s styling when it’s enabled. Alexander Mikhaylenko spent a long time reworking Adwaita so that it works with recoloring, and I want to take full advantage of that with the next two features: global accent colors and a recoloring API. Libadwaita makes it simple to implement a much-wanted personalization feature: customizable accent colors. Global accent colors will be opt-in for app developers. For the backend I want accent colors to be desktop- and platform-agnostic like the new dark style preference. I plan to submit a proposal for this to xdg-desktop-portal in the near future. In GNOME it’d probably be best to show only a few QA-tested accents in the UI, but libadwaita would support arbitrary colors so that apps from KDE, GNOME, elementary OS, and more all use the same colors if they support the preference. Developers using the recoloring API will be able to programmatically change colors in their apps and have dependent colors update automatically. They’ll be able to easily create presets which can be used, for example, to recolor the window based on a text view’s color scheme. Technically this is already possible with CSS in libadwaita 1.0, but the API will make it simpler. Instead of having to consider every single color, they’ll only need to set a few and libadwaita will handle the rest properly. The heuristics used here will also be used to ensure that accent colors have proper contrast against an app’s background. # ⚓ What’s_new_in_GNOME_42⠀⇛ GNOME 42 has landed. GNOME is one of the most used desktop environments, and a new release with so many new features is excellent news. GNOME has recently been focusing on the consistency of its interface and a smoother intuitive experience for its users (especially laptop users). This release brings upgrades, UI changes, improvements under the hood, and even new applications. Let us see what the significant changes to the system are. o § Distributions⠀➾ # § EasyOS⠀➾ # ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Rollback_test_and_update_fix⠀⇛ There was a report on the forum, that rolling back from Easy 3.4.4 to 3.4.1 failed. No details were provided. I have tried the same exercise. rolling back from 3.4.4 to 3.4.1, on my Lenovo Ideacentre PC, and it worked, no issues at all. This is going from 5.15.16 to 5.10.93 kernel. Running it right now. Then a thought occurred, the “update” icon on the desktop is now compromised. It will look for a later online version, which is currently 3.4.4, and that can then be downloaded and installed — however, 3.4.4 is already installed. # ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Global_IP_TV_Panel_updated_to 2022MK3⠀⇛ Steve has now released “MK3″ and has sent me a an EasyOS-tweaked PET, and I have updated the EasyOS “noarch” PET repo. Not yet uploaded. # ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Kernel_modules_rts_bpp_and_rtw89⠀⇛ I have recompiled the 5.15.16 kernel with these third-party modules. # § IBM/Red Hat/Fedora⠀➾ # ⚓ CentOS_7_vs_CentOS_8_–_Which_is_a_better_choice_for you?_–_DekiSoft⠀⇛ The new release of CentOS is here and has brought in man changes many users have questioned about. I know many of you are considering an upgrade, but why? This CentOS 7 vs CentOS 8 comparison goes over points such as performance, updates and stability so you can choose the best. As Red Hat Enterprise Linus (RHEL) is the upstream for this, it follows the same lifestyle that this dictates. All this means that its version 6 has reached the end of life (EOL) by the end of 2020 and version 7 by the end of 2024. RHEL’s 20-year life cycle makes version 8, which was released back in 2019, the current release till the year 2029. That is a lot of years. However, the newer released will be called “Stream” and it seems like it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. # § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Debian_Stable⠀⇛ I’ve setup a new desktop, in the end opting to stay with Debian stable (Bullseye). I’m not a fan of systemd, but with the latest release, Debian has made it very easy to switch to sysv-init either during or after the installation [0]. I opted to do it during the install as it seemed ‘cleaner’ to me, as much as this is not really true. Fedora’s six-month release cycle is too fast for me, and it always feels so clunky when I’m using it. Lots of stuff going on in the background, most of it completely opaque to the user. It’s the systemd way after all. I used to enjoy Ubuntu, but drifted away from them during their unstable years while they were playing with their own init system, and just never went back. I almost went with Slackware 15, but did not want to bother with a bunch of slackbuilds. I know there are alternatives, but I think Debian has perfected the art of dependency resolution for installing packages. It’s just so easy, and feeds my natural inclination towards laziness. And after all, the point of Slackware is _not_ to mess with dependencies. It’s a kitchen-sink approach, but that means more time spent after the install for those inevitable packages you want beyond the base. # ⚓ VNC_Tinkerings⠀⇛ The past few days have been spent giving Manjaro on Raspberry Pi a go. I have had a Raspberry Pi 4 kicking around mostly acting as a noiseless bridge between my PC and Icom IC- 705 for digi-modes. It feels like a waste for all those times I am not playing with amateur radio. I also had a strange idea…. I have a HP Pavillion x2 which has 2 GB RAM and so struggles with most browsers. It has a nice life as my SDF machine but what if I could use it as an intelligent terminal… As much as Raspian/Raspberry Pi OS is functional, I have a special place in my heart for Manjaro. It is my distro of choice as it gives a lot of freedom with default set ups and the shiny rolling release without too many headaches thing. I know it is Arch for babies who like green too much but still. There was also a nagging thought that a USB boot would be preferable too. # ⚓ Debian_vs_Ubuntu_(2022_Comparison):_101_Guide_to Choose_Your_Distro_–_DekiSoft⠀⇛ These two are the most dominant distros out there in the market. Roughly there are 290 Linux distro variations out of which 131 are driven out from Debian and 58 directly from the code. Pretty interesting, right? Both have quite a few things in common and Ubuntu is developed based on other testing snapshot releases. Though there are some differences as well. We have all heard very good things about both of these. However, today I have compared 14 features in this Debian vs Ubuntu comparison article. This is aimed at people asking themselves questions such as: Why should I choose one over the other? Is there a performance difference between these? # § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Manjaro_Vs._Ubuntu_(Latest)_–_Which_is_the_best_Linux Version?_–_DekiSoft⠀⇛ If you are the kind of user who is associated with computer technology 24/7 and spend most of your time in the open-source arena then you may have worked with popular Linux distributions. Some of these are Red Hat, CentOS, Debian, Mint and Arch. Today we are comparing Manjaro Vs. Ubuntu for you. In spite of Linux having more than 600 distros available today; we believe that there is that one for which everyone has a soft spot. This could be due to its performance, stability, availability of software, or a certain feature that is not available in other distributions. In this we have put our focus on two distributions; the first one is Ubuntu which is quite popular with a release back in 2004, and the other is Manjaro which is a smaller yet emerging distribution with a release back in 2011. Let us compare these two across a few areas and provide a brief review. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ 5_best_keyboard_apps_for_Android_–_Phandroid⠀⇛ # ⚓ The_Best_Peaceful_Games_for_Android_–_Monument Valley,_Gorogoa,_Old_Man’s_Journey_and_More_–_Droid Gamers⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Authority ☛ The_worst_Android_apps_to_ever grace_the_Play_Store_–_Android_Authority⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Police ☛ WhatsApp_gets_around_to_launching new_camera_interface_in_Android_beta_version⠀⇛ # ⚓ Screen Rant ☛ Is_The_Travel_Boast_App_On_Android?

It is a modular system that allows developers to build a custom systems over it. It comes with a rich admin user-interface, attachment manager, image browser, user manager, and more. # § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Go_1.18_debug/buildinfo_features⠀⇛ Hello and welcome to another blog article. Today, I would like to discuss one feature of Go 1.18, that I am interested in. No, this will not be another article about generics. The feature I would like to write about is something that might be under the radar for most people, but it still might be useful. If you ever wrote a CLI app in Go you are very familiar with injecting information during the build process into global variables. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ ACM_Turing_Award_Honors_Jack_Dongarra_for_Pioneering Concepts_and_Methods_Which_Resulted_in_World-Changing Computations⠀⇛ Dongarra’s major contribution was in creating open- source software libraries and standards which employ linear algebra as an intermediate language that can be used by a wide variety of applications. These libraries have been written for single processors, parallel computers, multicore nodes, and multiple GPUs per node. Dongarra’s libraries also introduced many important innovations including autotuning, mixed precision arithmetic, and batch computations. # ⚓ HPC Wire ☛ Jack_Dongarra_Named_Turing_Award_Recipient_for Advances_in_HPC,_AI⠀⇛ Dongarra’s efforts resulted in advances in high- performance computing that spilled over into other areas of computing and have helped foster the recent revolutions in artificial intelligence and computer graphics. His leadership and knowledge in the HPC community led to his creation of the Top500, an annual ranking of the world’s most powerful supercomputers based on the High-Performance Linpack benchmark test, which evaluates a system’s ability to solve a set of linear equations. # ⚓ Forbes ☛ Programmer_Jack_Dongarra_Receives_Turing_Award_For Bringing_Linear_Algebra_To_Supercomputers⠀⇛ In the late 1970s, Dongarra wrote a computer program called the Linear Algebra Package, or Linpack for short, which made it easier to program and run complex linear equations on supercomputers. About 20 years later, in the early 1990s, he used Linpack – the software he wrote – to measure how many calculations per second a supercomputer could perform. Called “floating point operations per second,” or FLOPS, this provides a way to measure a supercomputer’s speed and power. And of course, once engineers can consistently compare the speed and power of a piece of technology, they’re going to do it, and they’re going to make lists about it. # ⚓ Dongarra_Receives_Prestigious_Turing_Award⠀⇛ Dongarra came to UT in 1989, when he founded the Innovative Computing Laboratory in what is now the Min H. Kao Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Through the ICL, he made vital contributions to a series of computing-related software systems and libraries, all of which helped bring about the supercomputing era and established the foundation for future generations of machines. Dongarra developed software packages that became the industry standard, allowing high-performance computers to become increasingly more powerful in recent decades. # ⚓ [Old] LINPACK:_Linear_Algebra_Library⠀⇛ The computer code and data files described and made available on this web page are distributed under the GNU LGPL license. # ⚓ [Old] LINPACK⠀⇛ LINPACK was designed for supercomputers in use in the 1970s and early 1980s. LINPACK has been largely superceded by LAPACK, which has been designed to run efficiently on shared-memory, vector supercomputers. # ⚓ [Old] LAPACK — Linear_Algebra_PACKage⠀⇛ LAPACK is a freely-available software package. It is available from netlib via anonymous ftp and the World Wide Web at http://www.netlib.org/lapack . Thus, it can be included in commercial software packages (and has been).

[Ivan] explains that he aims to create a tool meant to help you understand your body’s state. Noticing when you’re stressed, when you haven’t moved for too long, when your body’s temperature is elevated compared to average values – and later, processing patterns in yourself that you might not be consciously aware of. These are far-reaching goals that commercial products only strive towards. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Is_Your_Device_Actually_USB_3.0,_Or_Is_The Connector_Just_Blue?⠀⇛ Discount (or even grey market) electronics can be economical ways to get a job done, but one usually pays in other ways. [Majenko] ran into this when a need to capture some HDMI video output ended up with rather less than was expected. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Flashing_TI_Chips_With_An_ESP⠀⇛ Texas Instruments is best known to the general public for building obsolete calculators and selling them at extraordinary prices to students, but they also build some interesting (and reasonably-priced) microcontrollers as well. While not as ubiquitous as Atmel and the Arduino platform, they can still be found in plenty of consumer electronics and reprogrammed, and [Aaron] aka [atc1441] demonstrates how to modify them with an ESP32 as an intermediary. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ 3D_Printering:_Don’t_Tune_To_A_Middle_‘C’_After All⠀⇛ 3D printer belt tension seems like a simple thing to deal with — you set the tension and then check it’s good now and then. If it gets really loose, then the teeth can slip and you’ll get some shifts in the print, ruining it, but its an easy fix. But, we hear you ask, how do you determine what the correct tension is? Well, here’s [Lost in Tech] with a video showing some measurement techniques and analysis of a typical 3D printer, (video, embedded below) using nothing more special than a set of luggage scales. A simple theory suggested was that a tighter belt tension would result in increased radial load on the stepper motor bearings, which in turn, due to friction, would result in an increase in temperature of the motor.  After setting a few tension values on one of the belts, it was noted that tension values at the upper end of the range, resulted in a measured increased in temperature of two degrees celcius, and a large increase in noise. This can’t be good for the motor. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Using_Statistics_Instead_Of_Sensors⠀⇛ Statistics often gets a bad rap in mathematics circles for being less than concrete at best, and being downright misleading at worst. While these sentiments might ring true for things like political polling, it hides the fact that statistical methods can be put to good use in engineering systems with fantastic results. [Mark Smith], for example, has been working on an espresso machine which can make the perfect shot of coffee, and turned to one of the tools in the statistics toolbox in order to solve a problem rather than adding another sensor to his complex coffee-brewing machine. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ This_Big_3D-Printed_Game_Boy_Actually_Runs MacOS⠀⇛ While mobile gaming has largely moved to smartphones these days, the classic Game Boy remains a hugely popular platform for retro enthusiasts, owing in no small part to its enormous library of quality games. The original Game Boy hardware is pretty much bulletproof, but feels a bit outdated today because it lacks modern conveniences like a large, backlit display or a rechargeable battery. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Health_and_weight⠀⇛ A number of those close to me have struggled with weight, myself included. A yo-yo comes to mind when thinking about the cycles of weight gain and weight loss. It’s not easy working through these cycles. Many, like myself, feel that enough willpower will force our weight into submission. Then there’s those who have it all under control. They manage their weight without a problem and eat without a worry. That creamy chocolate sundae? Sign me up! Unfortunately, I’m not in this category. You probably know a few people from both of these camps. There’s even a term for them: “Restrained eaters” and “Unrestrained eaters”. Unsurprisingly, the people who fall into the “unrestrained” eater category are also those who enjoy the widest array of foods without so much as a pound gained. Unrestrained eating is also known to be a healthier lifestyle. You know, eating without rules or diets. Why is that not me? o § Integrity/Availability⠀➾ # § Proprietary⠀➾ # § Security⠀➾ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ The Telegraph UK ☛ Natural_History_Museum may_have_shared_visitor_data_with_Facebook during_pandemic⠀⇛ Despite attractions closing their doors for much of the pandemic, they gathered millions of sets of data between them, and it is understood visitor information is used for marketing and shared with third parties, including the Government, NHS Test and Trace, and Facebook. The Natural History Museum (NHM) “hoovered up” 702,900 entries with the help of the Covid-19 booking system, according to FOI information, which reveals that some of its visitor data is shared with Meta – the parent company of Facebook and Instagram. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Mark_Zuckerberg_Says_That_When Employees_Call_Him_the_“Eye_of_Sauron,” It’s_Actually_a_Compliment⠀⇛ It sounds like Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg isn’t exactly loved by the people working for him. During a recent interview with YouTuber Tim Ferriss, Zuckerberg revealed that he has a brand new nickname at the company. # ⚓ EDRI ☛ France_must_not_betray_European citizens_on_the_DSA_at_the_11th_hour⠀⇛ We are writing to you on behalf of the People vs Big Tech Coalition to express our deep concern regarding France’s failure to follow through on its promise to meaningfully protect EU citizens from the invasive use of their sensitive personal data for targeted advertising in the Digital Services Act. This is a system that has been weaponised by foreign and nefarious actors to distort public debate and democracy – not least by Russia. It is also a system that routinely tramples on the rights of European citizens. According to our newly published YouGov poll, an overwhelming majority of French citizens (70%) support a ban on the use of people’s sensitive personal data to target online advertisements. They are counting on you to secure this baseline protection in the DSA. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Evidence_of_Russian_War_Crimes,_Says Leading_Human_Rights_Group⠀⇛ A leading human rights group said Sunday that it has documented multiple instances of Russian forces violating the laws of war in its ongoing invasion of Ukraine including by raping and executing citizens. “The cases we documented amount to unspeakable, deliberate cruelty and violence against Ukrainian civilians,” said Hugh Williamson, Human Rights Watch’s Europe and Central Asia director. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Opinion_|_Why_We_Need_to_Challenge_Russia’s Human_Shields_Narrative⠀⇛ Since Russia’s invasion began in late February 2022, universities, schools, theatres, hospitals, and many other civilian sites in Ukraine have been destroyed by Russian shelling and more than four million people have so far fled the country. Faced with the devastating consequences of its actions, Russia has increasingly fallen back on a single legal justification: human shields. Indeed, Moscow repeatedly suggested that Ukraine’s military is deliberately using civilians as a screen to defend legitimate military targets. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Russian_Forces_Accused_of_‘Deliberate Massacre’_in_Bucha⠀⇛ Ukrainian officials on Sunday accused Russian forces of carrying out a “deliberate massacre” in Bucha as images of what appear to be dead civilians littering the city’s streets sparked global outrage. “It looks exactly like war crimes.” # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Opinion_|_A_Living_Nightmare:_War_in Ukraine_Is_Morally_Unacceptable,_Politically_Indefensible, and_Militarily_Nonsensical⠀⇛ For more than one month now, the entire population of Ukraine has been enduring a living nightmare. The lives of millions of people are in upheaval as they are forced to flee their homes or hide in basements and bomb shelters as their cities are pummeled and destroyed. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ As_Europe_Turns_Away_From_Russian_Oil,_Gas Exporters’_Global_Clout_Is_Increasing⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Progressive_Lawmakers_in_US_and_Japan_Demand_No- First-Use_Policy_on_Nukes⠀⇛ # ⚓ Craig Murray ☛ 14_Years_Ahead_of_the_Game⠀⇛ On 14 August 2008 the Independent newspaper published together three comments on the Russian invasion of South Ossetia. They were by John McCain, Mikhail Gorbachev and (checks notes) Craig Murray. # ⚓ The Gray Zone ☛ New_witness_testimony_about_Mariupol maternity_hospital_‘airstrike’_follows_pattern_of_Ukrainian deceptions,_media_malpractice⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Ukrainian_Officials_Accuse_Russia_of_Carrying Out_“Deliberate_Massacre”_in_Bucha⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ The_West’s_Tax_Loopholes_Render_Sanctions_on Russian_Oligarchs_Moot⠀⇛ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Dozens_of_dead_civilians_found_in_Kyiv_suburb: Russian_occupying_forces_were_driven_out_just_days_ago, leaving_the_streets_“strewn”_with_dead_bodies⠀⇛ Journalists and Ukrainian officials have reported that dozens of dead civilians were found lying on the streets of Bucha, a city northwest of Kyiv. Reuters and Ukrainian news agency UNIAN published photos of bodies in civilian clothing, some of which had their arms tied behind their backs. Ukrainian presidential advisor Mykhailo Podolyak posted a similar photo on his Twitter account. According to Podolyak, the people in the photo were shot by Russian soldiers. # ⚓ FAIR ☛ Greenwald’s_Bombshell_Brazil_Scoops_Have_Curious Blindspot_for_US_Involvement⠀⇛ Glenn Greenwald’s book, Securing Democracy: My Fight for Press Freedom and Justice in Bolsonaro’s Brazil, opens with his recollection of a conversation in which Carl Bernstein, the US journalist of Watergate fame, told him that he’d never get another scoop as “big or impactful” as the Snowden archive (p. viii), for which Greenwald was the principal journalistic source. # ⚓ Site36 ☛ Hypersonic_weapons:_All_the_hype_about_the_new technology⠀⇛ Russia’s military had deployed a new offensive weapon, the Kinshal, for the first time. It is the harbinger of a new arms race in which China and North Korea are also leading the way. # ⚓ India ☛ Karauli_Stone-pelting:_Ex-Rajasthan_CM_Blames_Govt For_Not_Staying_Vigilant_During_Event⠀⇛ Former Rajasthan chief minister of Rajasthan Vasundhara Raje on Saturday condemned the stone- pelting on the Shobha Yatra that was being carried out on the occasion of Nav Samvatsar in Karauli and said that the incident could have been avoided had the administration been vigilant. # ⚓ India Today ☛ Curfew_clamped,_internet_shut_down_in Rajasthan’s_Karauli_after_communal_clashes:_What_happened_so far⠀⇛ Around 42 people were reportedly injured when stones were pelted at a motorcycle rally passing through a Muslim-dominated area to mark Nav Samvatsar, spawning violence that saw shops and vehicles being set on fire. So far, 30 people have been detained Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Hawa Singh Ghumariya told PTI. # ⚓ India ☛ Curfew_Imposed,_Internet_Shut_as_Communal_Clashes Break_Out_During_Bike_Rally_in_Rajasthan’s_Karauli⠀⇛ The rally to mark Nav Samvatsar was passing through a Muslim-dominated area when some people pelted stones. The violence escalated and a few shops and a bike were burnt. Several others were damaged, the police said. The police control room of Karauli initially said that over 35 persons were injured. # ⚓ Rajasthan:_Curfew_continues,_internet_suspended_after communal_clashes_in_Karauli⠀⇛ Curfew remained in force on Sunday in Rajasthan’s Karauli where communal clashes had broken out after stones were pelted at a motorcycle rally taken out to celebrate the Hindu new year, leaving around 35 people injured. # ⚓ Curfew_imposed,_internet_suspended_after_communal_clashes in_Rajasthan’s_Karauli⠀⇛ Mobile internet has also been suspended in Karauli, which is 170 km from state capital Jaipur. Governor Kalraj Mishra and Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot spoke to Director General of Police (DGP) M L Lather and appealed to the public to maintain peace. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ In_the_Ocean,_It’s_Snowing_Microplastics⠀⇛ Every year, tens of millions of tons of plastic enter Earth’s oceans. Scientists initially assumed that the material was destined to float in garbage patches and gyres, but surface surveys have accounted for only about one percent of the ocean’s estimated plastic. A recent model found that 99.8 percent of plastic that entered the ocean since 1950 had sunk below the first few hundred feet of the ocean. Scientists have found 10,000 times more microplastics on the seafloor than in contaminated surface waters. Marine snow, one of the primary pathways connecting the surface and the deep, appears to be helping the plastics sink. And scientists have only begun to untangle how these materials interfere with deep- sea food webs and the ocean’s natural carbon cycles. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ At_‘Pivotal_Moment’_in_Planetary_Emergency, UN_Appoints_Inaugural_Expert_on_Climate_Crisis_and_Human Rights⠀⇛ Environmental defenders welcomed the United Nations’ inaugural appointment Friday of a special rapporteur on the climate crisis and human rights. Academic Ian Fry—a dual citizen of Tuvalu and Australia and an expert on Pacific Island climate policy—was appointed by the U.N. Human Rights Council following the body’s October 2021 adoption of a historic resolution recognizing the human right to a safe, clean, healthy, and sustainable environment. # § Energy⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ They’ve_Now_Mined_Almost_All_The_Bitcoin That_Will_Ever_Exist,_But_What_Does_that_Actually Mean?⠀⇛ Bitcoin was designed to have a hard cap of 21 million Bitcoins, a limited coin supply that in some ways mimics the theoretically finite supply of other valuable goods like gold. Well over a decade after the first Bitcoin was mined, the mainstream cryptocurrency is nearing its next threshold: 19 million mined Bitcoins, as Axios notes, a notable milestone. Which leaves the obvious question: what happens as the world bears down on that final supply? The answer, it turns out, is anything but clear. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ David Gerard ☛ Blockchain_bridges:_how_the_smart_contract piñata_works,_and_why_bridges_keep_getting_hacked⠀⇛ Smart contract programs are extremely hard to alter. The concept is that you can have faith that the program is immune to interference from mere humans — that you’ve automated the human element out. The problem there is that another term for “immutable program” is “sitting duck for attackers.” This makes smart contracts naturally turn into piñatas: 1. Smart contracts are hard to alter, by design. So they require the most painstaking code review and analysis — so that you don’t lose money to an exploit. 2. You make more money by being quick to market. You could get cautious computer scientists to code your smart contracts in functional or non-Turing- complete languages — or you could get mediocre ex- JavaScript coders to bash out some Solidity code that’ll do for the moment. [Cryptocurrency] overwhelmingly chooses the second option. You can get your smart contracts audited! This has created a market for crappy rubber-stamp Solidity “auditors,” who let you say you were audited. Or you can get a decent auditor — then just ignore the recommendations in their report, because that’s too much like work when you’ve already ticked the box marked “get an audit.” o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Hungary ☛ Márki-Zay:_“My_conscience_is_clear._I_did_all_I could”⠀⇛ # ⚓ Hungary ☛ The_opposition’s_hope_lost:_Péter_Márki-Zay_will not_become_prime_minister⠀⇛ # ⚓ Hungary ☛ “We_have_won_a_victory_so_huge_it_can_be_seen_all the_way_from_the_Moon!_And_Brussels!”_–_Orbán’s_victory speech⠀⇛ A short while ago Viktor Orbán gave his fifth victory speech, after winning the 2022 parliamentary elections of Hungary. Here are the highlights: # ⚓ Hungary ☛ Orbán_to_form_a_government_for_the_fifth_time⠀⇛ With a high percentage of the votes counted, it is safe to say that Viktor Orbán will be forming a government in Hungary for the fifth time. In light of this, we are taking a look at his political career, focusing on the recent past. # ⚓ Hungary ☛ The_mail-in_votes_found_in_Romania_–_a constitutional_crisis_may_be_taking_shape_according_to opposition_politician_Ákos_Hadházy⠀⇛ This past Wednesday, a sack of Hungarian mail-in voting ballots (some of them burned) were found at a landfill near Târgu Mureș, Romania. Telex caught up with opposition member Ákos Hadházy to find out if the opposition intends to take any steps relating to this. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Depardieu_blasts_Putin’s_‘crazy_excesses’, Russia_offers_to_explain_Ukraine_crisis⠀⇛ The Kremlin said on Friday it was ready to explain the situation in Ukraine to Depardieu. “I’d suggest that Depardieu most likely does not fully understand what is happening,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. “He does not understand what happened in Ukraine in 2014,” Peskov said, referring to the conflict in eastern Ukraine. “If necessary, we will be ready to tell him about this and explain so that he understands better,” Peskov added. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ The Telegraph UK ☛ Grammar_school_teacher_suspended_over ‘Jesus_and_Mo’_mug⠀⇛ A grammar school teacher has been suspended over a mug which features a cartoon allegedly depicting the Prophet Mohammed. Colchester Grammar School said it was investigating a photograph captured in the playground of an employee holding the mug, which also features a drawing of Jesus Christ. # ⚓ Metro UK ☛ Teacher_suspended_‘for_having_mug_that_showed Prophet_Muhammad_cartoon’⠀⇛ They have also been photographed with the item, which reportedly shows a picture from the satirical web cartoon series titled Jesus and Mo. In speech bubbles, a figure resembling Jesus with a crown of thorns says ‘Hey’. Another figure of a bearded man wearing a turban replies: ‘How ya doin?’ # ⚓ BBC ☛ Colchester_grammar_teacher_suspended_over_Prophet Muhammad_mug⠀⇛ The teacher at Colchester Royal Grammar School (CRGS) in Essex is thought to have taken the mug into the playground. # ⚓ The Independent UK ☛ Teacher_suspended_from_top_grammar school_‘after_using_Prophet_Muhammad_mug’⠀⇛ A teacher at a top grammar school has been suspended after allegedly using a coffee mug with a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad on it. # ⚓ ITV ☛ Teacher_at_Colchester_Grammar_School_in_Essex suspended_‘for_using_mug_with_Prophet_Muhammad_image’⠀⇛ The teacher has been suspended from their role, a source told the Press Association. # ⚓ ABC ☛ Opposition_lawmakers_in_Sri_Lanka_protest_state_of emergency⠀⇛ Opposition lawmakers in Sri Lanka on Sunday marched in the capital, Colombo, protesting against the president’s move to impose a nationwide curfew and state of emergency following demonstrations blaming the government for an economic crisis. Internet users in Sri Lanka were also unable to access Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, WhatsApp and other social media platforms on Sunday, after they had been used to organize protests calling for President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to resign, saying he is responsible for the country’s deepening economic woes. # ⚓ Netblocks ☛ Social_media_restricted_in_Sri_Lanka_as emergency_declared_amid_protests⠀⇛ NetBlocks metrics confirm the restriction of multiple social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Viber and YouTube in Sri Lanka after midnight on Sunday 3 April 2022 local time. The incident comes as the government declares a state of emergency, imposing curfews to counter widespread protests over the economic crisis. o § Freedom of Information/Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ RFERL ☛ HRW_Calls_On_Kyrgyz_Authorities_To_Stop_‘Harassing’ Independent_Media⠀⇛ Human Rights Watch (HRW) has called on Kyrgyz authorities to stop “harassing” independent media after a spate of criminal cases against journalists. “The Kyrgyz authorities say they protect freedom of expression, yet try to silence critical voices and clamp down on independent media through criminal investigations and bogus charges. The authorities should release Taalaibek Duishenbiev and drop all unfounded charges against him and other media targets that violate the right to freedom of expression,” HRW Central Asia researcher Syinat Sultanalieva said in a statement on April 1. # ⚓ Spiegel ☛ A_Visit_To_a_Town_in_Mourning⠀⇛ Reporting on fallen soldiers in the Ulyanovsk region apparently isn’t welcome. Russian-speaking journalists are also feeling similar pressure. In some regions, media outlets have had to delete reports about deceased military personnel only shortly after publishing them. The authorities even threatened the Russian-language Wikipedia to block an article with data on Putin’s military operation in Ukraine. The newspaper Novaya Gazeta, which is critical of the Kremlin, suspended its work this week for the duration of the “military operation.” It, too, had been warned by the authorities. The newspaper, one of the few remaining independent media outlets in the country, had been trying to continue operations despite the censorship. Novaya journalists had also continued to report from Ukraine, attended funerals of fallen Russian army members and even provided a voice to desperate relatives of soldiers, who didn’t know where their men had been sent. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ States_Legislators_Can_Usher_In_an_Antiracist, Equitable_Recovery._Here’s_How.⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Biden’s_Refugee_Plan_Is_Insufficient_Amid_Crises in_Ukraine_and_Afghanistan⠀⇛ # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Will’s_Smith’s_Gift_to_Racists⠀⇛ Smith’s caricature-confirming slap heard ’round the world comes at a time when the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences has been taking steps to address the #OscarsSoWhite criticism, that Hollywood’s preeminent industry organization and the annual awards it bestows were biased. In terms of membership (long dominated by older male whites), the Academy, which was founded back in 1927, has become more inclusive and diverse and its splendid new movie museum in Los Angeles focuses on issues of ethnic and gender representation. In terms of the actual Academy Awards, more minorities have been winning those coveted golden statuettes, including: Danial Kaluuya, who praised “Chairman Fred,” the Black Panther leader he portrayed in 2020’s Judas and the Black Messiah, while presenting an award on the March 27, 2022 telecast; Mexican Alfonso Cuaron as Best Director for 2018’s Roma; the 2019 Korean feature Parasite, which won four Oscars, including Bong Joon Ho for Best Director and Best Motion Picture; Korean Youn Yuh-jung for Best Supporting Actress in 2020’s Minari; etc. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ How_Two_Best_Friends_Beat_Amazon⠀⇛ The union spent $120,000 overall, raised through GoFundMe, according to Mr. Smalls. “We started this with nothing, with two tables, two chairs and a tent,” he recalled. Amazon spent more than $4.3 million just on anti-union consultants nationwide last year, according to federal filings. The unionization vote reflects an era of rising worker power. In recent months, a string of Starbucks stores have voted to organize as well. But JFK8, with 8,000 workers, is one of Amazon’s signature warehouses, its most important pipeline to its most important market. # ⚓ ABC ☛ Sacred_land_returned_to_Native_tribe_in_Virginia⠀⇛ Tribal land in Virginia was returned to the Rappahannock Tribe during a celebration hosted by the Department of the Interior Friday. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland joined the Rappahannock Tribe, Chesapeake Conservancy and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in honor of the tribe’s historic reacquisition of roughly 465 acres at Fones Cliffs. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ Re:_Everything_Breaks⠀⇛ My banks webpage did work without JavaScript and (more importantly) over TOR, but they switched systems a while back, and very unfortunately, this feature disappeared. Sniff. And yes, I informed them, that I notice a severe lack of nerd appeal on the current website. # ⚓ Re:_Is_There_A_Better_Hard_Drive_Metaphor?⠀⇛ It’s a bit like teleporting people in SciFi. When Captain Kirk beams down, the transporter serialises him, then deserialises him on the planet’s surface. But the Kirk on the planet isn’t the same as the Kirk who was in the transporter room. He’s a copy. In the code snippet above, the deserialised object isn’t the same as the original. It’s a copy. If you call writeThing and readThing, then you have two things. To prevent duplicate Kirks, there must be some mechanism in the transporter to keep track of where the real Kirk is. First he’s in the transporter room; now he’s serialised in the transporter beam; now he’s on the planet so we can throw away the serialised version. (If there’s a well known story where this goes wrong, I never saw that. If there isn’t, there should be.) For data in memory, we know where it is because it has an address. If we serialise it, now we know it’s in a file, and I suppose that we should really throw away the in-memory data. The when we get it back into memory, we should really throw away the file. Or we accept that there are two copies of the data, and we try to keep them in sync. # ⚓ Parenting_and_Social_Media_Thoughts⠀⇛ Been thinking on and off lately about the future of parenting and how I’m going to handle it. I guess that’s natural since “parent” is a title I’m likely to pick up sometime in the next several short years. Still the thoughts have caught me off guard. It’s a daunting task all around but I guess I already realized that. It seems like it’s becoming increasingly so with each year that passes though. The internet I think plays a not insignificant role in that. It’s so accessible today — which is fantastic and it should stay that way — but I have some doubts that all that accessibility is doing kids any favors. The idea of kids being anywhere near social media scares me. It makes so much garbage readily accessible, and even if as a parent you do your best to filter that stuff out, it likely won’t be enough. Then there’s still the wider negative psychological effects of social media to contend with. None of this would be a big deal on its own. Just keep the kids off social media and there’s nothing to worry about. What I am worried about is social media use among kids becoming so normalized that it becomes weird if they’re not on it. That of course won’t change how I plan to enforce technology rules, it’ll just make my responsibility a whole lot harder probably. # ⚓ Is_today’s_shape_of_apps_was_inevitable?_(Part_IV_–_a shining_old_man_and_the_only_gifted_grandson)⠀⇛ I have been writing about it in the previous posts. Yesterday I set up Usenet on my shell account. I had been using Usenet almost thirty years ago. I had a problem figuring out what is the best, or simply the best from available for now, server for that. Then I must configure the proper client. But after a while, I was able to use it. I thought that this knowledge could be unique, and there are many people who don’t know what Usenet is. It’s not like I know everything. So I was using Usenet in the late ’90s. In the time, when I was part of the Vandals horde sacking ancient Rome. I didn’t know that, and of course, I was exploring Usenet on my own then. [Eternal September] continues to this day, but a horde of Vandals went further away many years ago. And Usenet needs to be renovated. I’ve read in the last few days several mentions about Usenet on Mastodon. So maybe the idea of Usenet is waking up now. o § Monopolies⠀➾ # § Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Opinion_|_The_Global_Fight_for_a People’s_Vaccine_Is_at_a_Crucial_Turning_Point⠀⇛ After 18 months of deadlock, negotiations at the World Trade Organization (WTO) over lifting intellectual property rights for vaccines and other essential medicines have suddenly started to move fast. But the details of a leaked tentative agreement on patents show that the EU and other defenders of Big Pharma are trying to pull a quick one on the rest of the world. # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Daniel_Ek_to_Provide_Three-Hour Deposition_In_Eminem_Publisher’s_Unpaid-Royalties Lawsuit⠀⇛ The underlying legal battle initiated back in August of 2019, when Eight Mile Style accused Spotify of infringing upon 243 Eminem compositions – and, in turn, failing to pay royalties for billions of plays. Eight Mile demanded north of $36 million in damages as well as “advertising revenue and the value of the equity interest Eight Mile was deprived of by virtue of the infringement.” Spotify promptly pushed back against the suit, expressing the belief that it “lacks merit.” Additionally, the Stockholm-based service indicated that it had been “licensed by Eight Mile’s agent, Kobalt” to offer the Eminem works in question to listeners. 2020 then saw Spotify name Kobalt Music Publishing as a third-party defendant. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ ‘Copyright_Troll’_Accuses_Defense_of Extortion_and_Unjust_Enrichment⠀⇛ Adult entertainment company Malibu Media was once feared as a prolific copyright litigant that targeted thousands of alleged pirates. After a defendant pushed back, the tables have now turned. The court has ordered Malibu to pay over $100,000 to a former defendant but, according to the company’s boss, the defense is guilty of “extortion” and “unjust enrichment.” ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 4893 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 04.04.22⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Links_04/04/2022:_TeX_Live_2022_and_Alpine_Bugfix_Releases⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 5:56 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * GNU/Linux o Distributions o Devices/Embedded * Free_Software/Open_Source * Leftovers * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o § Server⠀➾ # ⚓ Arturo_Borrero_Gonzalez:_Wikimedia_Toolforge_and_Grid Engine⠀⇛ One of the most important and successful products provided by the Wikimedia Cloud Services team at the Wikimedia Foundation is Toolforge, a hosting service commonly known in the industry as Platform as a Service (PaaS). In particular, it is a platform that allows users and developers to run and use a variety of applications with the ultimate goal of helping the Wikimedia mission from the technical side. Toolforge is powered by two different backend engines, Kubernetes and Grid Engine. The two backends have traditionally offered different features for tool developers. But as time moves forward we’ve learnt that Kubernetes is the future. Explaining why is the purpose of this blog post: we want to share more information and reasoning behind this mindset. # ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Writing_Kubernetes_Operators_in_Java_with_JOSDK, Part_3:_Implementing_a_controller_|_Red_Hat_Developer⠀⇛ Java Operator SDK (JOSDK) is an open source project that aims to simplify the task of creating Kubernetes Operators using Java. The project was started by Container Solutions and Red Hat is now a major contributor. The first article in this series introduced JOSDK and gave reasons for creating Operators in Java. The second article showed how the quarkus-operator- sdk extension for JOSDK, together with the Quarkus framework, facilitates the development experience by managing the custom resource definition automatically. This article focuses on adding the reconciliation logic. o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ PineDA_Interface_Asciinema_Demo⠀⇛ I recorded a little asciinema cast of using my terminal based PDA thingy. Just opening and briefly using some of the “apps” to show how they work. For reference, when an app opens what I’m doing in real life is tapping one of those buttons on the Pinephone’s touchscreen. Shout out to ew0k and the gemi.dev for providing the gemini cli tool and gemini weather service that comprises the weather app :-). # ⚓ Video ☛ Hide_Your_Browser_In_Plain_Sight_With_Chameleon_– Invidious⠀⇛ Browser finger printing will always be a problem but one of the simplest actions you can take is spoofing your browser profile in a way that looks real and Chameleon will help you do that. # ⚓ Video ☛ Ubuntu_MATE_22.04_Beta_Run_Through_–_Invidious⠀⇛ In this video, we are looking at Ubuntu MATE 22.04 Beta. # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ Ubuntu_MATE_22.04_Beta⠀⇛ Today we are looking at Ubuntu MATE 22.04 Beta.

Claws Mail is a GTK+ based, user-friendly, lightweight, and fast email client. # ⚓ Its FOSS ☛ Collision:_An_Open-Source_App_to_Check_if_Your Files_Were_Tampered_With⠀⇛ Someone sends you a file, how do you verify that it’s the original one meant for you? How can you be certain that it hasn’t been tampered with? Moreover, how can you verify that the file comes from an original source? That’s where cryptographic hash functions come in. A hash function (such as SHA-1) is a checksum if it is used to verify a file. This helps you confirm whether the file has been modified or not. # ⚓ Norbert Preining ☛ TeX_Live_2022_released_|_There_and_back again⠀⇛ This year’s TeX Live release was one of the most unspectacular I can remember. No big problems, not last minute code changes, no panic updates in the last second. [...] Most of the above features have been available already either via tlpretest or via regular updates, but are now fully released on the DVD version. Thanks goes to all the developers, builders, the great CTAN team, and everyone who has contributed to this release! # ⚓ Its FOSS ☛ Linux_Release_Roundup_#22.14:_Ubuntu_22.04_Beta, Nitrux_2.1,_Lutris_0.5.10,_and_More_Releases_–_It’s_FOSS News⠀⇛ In the Linux Release Roundup series, we summarize the new distribution and application version releases in the past week. This keeps you informed of the latest developments in the Linux world. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ How_to_Run_Linux_on_your_Chromebook⠀⇛ Chromebooks have come a long way and, in certain circumstances, they are now competent productivity machines out of the box. However, sometimes you need a more full-featured operating system than Chrome OS – Linux, for example – to do your work and run offline software. In the past, there were many hacks to run Linux on your Chromebook, Crostini is an early example of such. But now Chrome OS has a built-in means to run Linux virtual machines with little configuration needed by the end user. Best of all, we can even run Linux GUI apps such as GIMP, Inkscape and LibreOffice. # ⚓ TechRepublic ☛ Better_tab_management_in_ChromeOS,_thanks_to desks_|_TechRepublic⠀⇛ But when working on a Chromebook, what can you do? Sure, Google has created Tab Groups for Chrome, but that doesn’t really solve tab management in a way that makes it easy to work with a large number of tabs. However, there is another way to better manage your tabs, one that involves the virtual desks feature found in ChromeOS. It was Firefox’s poor tab management that led me to adopt this method. On Linux, I can easily create virtual desktops and then move Firefox windows for specific tasks (such as productivity, social networking, etc.) to different virtual desks. This way, instead of having so many tabs open in a window, I can spread them across windows and desktops for more effective tab management. # ⚓ 4_Ways_To_Install_Firefox_99_On_Ubuntu_/_Linux_Mint_/ AlmaLinux_&_Fedora_|_Tips_On_UNIX⠀⇛ This tutorial will be helpful for beginners to download and install Firefox 99 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 21.10, LinuxMint 20.3, Rocky Linux 8, Almalinux 8, and Fedora 35.

You’ve probably had to deal with random reboots to upgrade, failed upgrades, unsupported hardware, crashes, and a never-ending inflexibility and general unreliability. If that sounds like your experience with Windows, I’d like to introduce you to something better, more reliable, and free. Said something is Linux and it’s been my operating system of choice since 1997. Now, back in those early days, Linux was a significant challenge to use and an even greater headache to install. # ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_RawTherapee_on_Ubuntu_20.04_LTS_– idroot⠀⇛ RawTherapee is a non-destructive RAW image editor available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is designed for developing raw files from a broad range of digital cameras and is targeted at users ranging from enthusiast newcomers who wish to broaden their understanding of how digital imaging works to professional photographers.

Let’s get started! # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_NVIDIA_Drivers_on_Ubuntu 22.04_LTS⠀⇛ Most modern Linux Desktop systems such as Ubuntu come with an Nvidia driver pre-installed in the Nouveau open-source graphics device driver for Nvidia video cards. For the most part, this is acceptable; however, if you are using your Linux system for graphical design or gaming, you may get better drivers. Historically, the Nouveau drivers are slower than Nvidia’s proprietary drivers, lacking the latest graphics card hardware’s latest features, software technology, and support. The tutorial will cover both options. # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ How_to_Run_Linux_on_your_Chromebook_| Tom’s_Hardware⠀⇛ Chromebooks have come a long way and, in certain circumstances, they are now competent productivity machines out of the box. However, sometimes you need a more full-featured operating system than Chrome OS – Linux, for example – to do your work and run offline software. In the past, there were many hacks to run Linux on your Chromebook, Crostini is an early example of such. But now Chrome OS has a built-in means to run Linux virtual machines with little configuration needed by the end user. Best of all, we can even run Linux GUI apps such as GIMP, Inkscape and LibreOffice. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Steam_Deck_Developer_Mode_does_not_turn_off the_read-only_filesystem_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ It was pointed out recently that there’s been plenty of confusion on exactly what Developer Mode for the Steam Deck does. Even I’ve gotten it wrong in the past, so it’s time to set the record straight. My friend and YouTube star Gardiner recently pointed it out on Twitter, and it’s worth repeating. Developer Mode enables access to numerous extra options and tweaks on the Steam Deck, as the name suggests it’s primarily meant for developers and there’s a few bits and pieces in there that might help modders. It does not, however, turn off the read-only filesystem. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Coromon_is_pretty_much_Pokemon_for_the Steam_Deck_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Love monster catching and want a bit of a Pokemon- like game for the Steam Deck (or any Linux desktop too)? Check out the newly released Coromon. Developed by TRAGsoft, it released on March 31 and thanks to Steam Play Proton, it’s working great out of the box. “The sun begins to dawn on Velua, a new day for the world and a new day for you, a freshly minted Battle Researcher of the global research society known as Lux Solis. It’s your first day and everything goes smoothly until a mysterious force attacks your latest workplace. Build up a squad of Coromon, track down the invaders, and grapple with a rising threat that endangers everyone on Velua!” # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Valve_might_send_Steam_Deck_purchase_emails twice_a_week_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Keep an even closer eye on your inbox, as Valve has announced that we might see reservation emails for the Steam Deck go out twice a week sometimes now. Each Monday is the usual day for new emails to go out, so people sitting waiting can finally put their Steam Deck order through. That might change some weeks, as Valve explained on Twitter today… # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ GE-Proton_gets_upgraded_with_Feral_GameMode added_(updated)_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ GE-Proton, the unofficial community-built version of the Proton compatibility layer has a new version out (and some hotfixes). Quick primer: Proton is a compatibility layer from Valve (who work with CodeWeavers), that runs Windows games on Linux and Steam Deck. Need more info on Steam Play and Proton? Check out our page. This version of Proton, named GE-Proton (formerly Proton-GE), pulls in fixes faster but it comes without the quality assurance the official version has. It also has a fix a lot of people enjoy to enable videos in some games to work properly, where they don’t with the official Proton. # ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ Steam_Deck_Laptop:_Awesome_DIY_–_Boiling Steam⠀⇛ You know now that the Steam Deck is formidable gaming device (with more than 2000 games validated now), but since it’s designed to be open, it can be turned into a “steam deck laptop” as well, with the desktop mode and the fact that you can add flatpaks for pretty much any kind of application. Of course, a 800p screen is going to be of very limited use, but should be on the go and need something to do some ssh into a remote machine, or typing some kind of document or piece of code, the Steam Deck could fit the bill… as long as you have a proper keyboard attached to it. o § Distributions⠀➾ # ⚓ Zorin_OS_Core_16.1_–_A_Linux_Distro_for_Windows_&_Mac_Users [Ed: Older review, reposted]⠀⇛ Since the advent of Linux’s grand entrance into the PC space back in 1993, has been an insurgency of operating systems and that time also happened to be the wake of a technological-oriented generation adopting computers at a much faster pace than ever before. In the light of this fact, Debian took off grandly (two years after Linux was born) and through it, a staggering 200 independent distributions have poured out – thanks to Ian Murdock. # § New Releases⠀➾ # ⚓ Alpine_3.12.12,_3.13.10,_3.14.6_and_3.15.4_released⠀⇛ The Alpine Linux project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of new stable releases to address busybox CVE-2022- 28391 3.12.12 3.13.10 3.14.6 3.15.4 # § Gentoo Family⠀➾ # ⚓ New_Gentoo_LiveGUI_ISO_and_artwork_/_branding contest!⠀⇛ After a long break, we now have again a weekly LiveGUI ISO image for amd64 available! The 4.7 GB download, suitable for DVD burning or an USB stick, boots directly into KDE Plasma and comes with a ton of up-to-date software. This ranges from office applicactions such as LibreOffice, Inkscape, and Gimp all the way to many system administrator tools. Now, we need your help! Let’s make this the coolest and most beautiful Linux live image ever. We’re calling for submissions of artwork, themes, actually anything from a desktop background to a boot manager animation, on the topic of Gentoo! The winning entry will be added as default setting to the official LiveGUI images, and also be available for download and installation. # § IBM/Red Hat/Fedora⠀➾ # ⚓ Top_8_YUM/DNF_ThirdParty_Repositories_for_RHEL-Based Linux⠀⇛ YUM (Yellowdog Updater Modified) is an open- source, widely used command-line and graphical-based package management tool for RPM (RedHat Package Manager) based Linux systems, including, but not limited to, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS, Scientific Linux (SL), Oracle Linux (OL), Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux, which is used to install, update, remove or search software packages on a system. The DNF command (Dandified yum) is the next- generation version of the traditional YUM package manager for RedHat-based systems. To install software packages that are not included in the default base and update repositories, as well as additional repositories, you need to install and enable other third-party repositories on your system. # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ PostgreSQL_load_tuning_on_Red_Hat Enterprise_Linux⠀⇛ If your PostgresSQL database is running slowly, you might be wondering how you can tune your Red Hat Enterprise Linux server for a PostgreSQL database workload. In this post, I’ll walk you through how a customer tuned PostgreSQL for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). First, let me give you the scenario: A physical server which has 160 logical CPUs and 3TB RAM (yes, you read that right) was having difficulty handling a load of 1,200+ running applications, all of which used PostgreSQL 9.6 as a database. All those applications run on a very big Red Hat OpenShift cluster, and in some situations the active connections scaled up to the maximum configured in PostgreSQL, making applications unable to access the database. When applications start to crash, a chain reaction occurs, caused by the OpenShift Liveness and Readiness probes, which worsens the problem. # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Linux_troubleshooting_commands:_4 tools_for_DNS_name_resolution_problems [Ed: Those are not Linux commands. Linux is a kernel, it's not for commands.]⠀⇛ Find out what’s stopping you from accessing a server, printer, or another network resource with these four Linux troubleshooting commands. # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Using_Podman_4.0′s_new_features, avoiding_YAML_errors,_and_more_tips_for_sysadmins_| Enable_Sysadmin⠀⇛ March 2022 was another excellent month for Enable Sysadmin.

Of course, assuming Sparky is going to be light and fast, so applications cannot be heavy and must be open source. # § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Real-time_Analytics_News_for_Week_Ending_April_2⠀⇛ Canonical, the publisher of Ubuntu, announced the general availability of OpenStack Yoga on Ubuntu 22.04 Long Term Support (LTS) beta and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. This new version of OpenStack (the 25th release) sets a foundation for next-generation, highly performant infrastructure using SmartNIC cards and integrating them with the Neutron Open Virtual Network (OVN) driver. With OpenStack network components running on SmartNICs, users benefit from lower latency, higher throughput, and better quality of services. # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Zero-ops_scaling_Kubernetes_storage_with MicroK8s_and_OpenEBS_Mayastor_|_Ubuntu⠀⇛ Kubernetes is well-known as an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling and management of containerised applications. As such, it uses concepts such as Pods and Deployments to abstract away details regarding the underlying compute, networking and storage infrastructure. Storage is abstracted as PersistentVolumes (a volume that is provisioned in the underlying infrastructure) and PersistentVolumeClaims (a claim for a pod that uses a persistent volume) resources. Typically, running a Kubernetes cluster also involves running a CSI provisioner, which watches for PersistentVolumeClaims and automatically provisions the requested volumes. There are a large number of CSI drivers available. For example, if running Kubernetes on top of AWS, one would most likely use the aws-ebs-csi-driver. If running Kubernetes on- premises or in an OpenStack cloud, cinder- csi-driver would be more appropriate. If running on-premises and a Ceph cluster is available, ceph-csi could also be used. While this solves the storage problems for Kubernetes users, it moves the hurdle of managing everything to the administrators of the Kubernetes cluster, as well as the Kubernetes distribution. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Eric_Brown:_My_last_post_on_LinuxGizmos⠀⇛ This is my last LinuxGizmos story after nine years as Editor and Chief Writer. But LG lives on. I started at LinuxGizmos shortly after Rick Lehrbaum launched the site in early 2013. In 2018, he sold LinuxGizmos to KCK Media Corp., which has done an admirable job supporting Rick’s tradition of reporting news on embedded Linux in a straightforward and impartial style.

The IT operation team maintained the static configurations for service reliability and system stability. This Day 2 operation has significantly changed since microservices began running in distributed networking systems. The change happened because microservices need to communicate with multiple backend services to improve the load balancing and service resiliency. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Re:_Is_There_A_Better_Hard_Drive_Metaphor?⠀⇛ I sorta disagree with the characterization of “ [computers] have just a processor, RAM and other_devices []” as being incorrect. If you’re a language that is intended to be used outside of the standard desktop computer, you’ll likely encounter setups with any combination (including none) of the following devices: * TTY input * TTY output * Display * Audio-out * USB and other IO ports * Networking * Block devices—how many and how big? what kind are they—punch cards, magnetic tape (high-speed LTO or old 9- tracks?), HDDs, SSDs? Are they read-only or R/W or even write-only? Are they buffered? Are they random-access? o ⚓ The_Mouse_Pointer⠀⇛ The reason why I wrote this thing is that I was genuinely surprised that the display can do a whole lot more than just a number with a colour on it. It’s in fact an entire computer behind the display, just to display a number. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Distractions_stopping_you_doing_the_basics_right⠀⇛ Amongst the most expensive activities in a modern society is education. Yet while teaching professionals like to think they are objective in the way they approach their sensitive task, there are always shiny distractions that attract the attentional of educators away from the basics of managing complex social interactions. With a relentless focus on ‘academic success’, managers in schools are always on the lookout for the next drop of fairy dust to sprinkle onto their school’s teachers. A nice, clean, top-down management intervention is an attractive way to appear effective in their role, but without a decent grasp of the changes required it is easy to make lessons less effective than before the intervention. Before introducing new structures to guide and constrain teachers, it is important then to survey what it is that teachers are doing in the classrooms already and work out where the easy wins are. Teachers are time constrained, and anything that takes up attention or time will push out other tasks. There is an opportunity cost of imposing interventions beyond the training needs: unintended consequences can hinder effective approaches as easily as poor ones. o § Integrity/Availability⠀➾ # § Proprietary⠀➾ # § Pseudo-Open Source⠀➾ # § Privatisation/Privateering⠀➾ # § Linux Foundation⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Foundation’s Site/Blog ☛ Question_from_the_New_Guy! [Ed: Starting at ‘Linux’ Foundation by promoting_Microsoft_proprietary software]⠀⇛ “Here’s a question from the new guy”. I have been using this a lot the past few weeks after starting here at the Linux Foundation as the lead editor and content manager. How long can I pull that off? The reality is that I am new to working professionally in open source software – and really the software/ technology industry. But, it has been a long time passion of mine. I spent my formative years in the 1980s and had a drive to learn to program computers. When I was 12, I asked my mom for a computer. Her response, “you have to learn to type first”. # § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Monday_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by Debian (asterisk, qemu, and zlib), Fedora (389-ds-base, ghc-cmark-gfm, ghc-hakyll, gitit, libkiwix, openssl, pandoc, pandoc-citeproc, patat, phoronix-test-suite, seamonkey, and skopeo), Mageia (libtiff, openjpeg2, and php-smarty), openSUSE (python), Oracle (httpd), Red Hat (httpd), and SUSE (libreoffice, python, and python36). # ⚓ Qt ☛ Security_advisory:_Recently_reported Chromium_“Type_confusion”_issue_impacts_Qt WebEngine⠀⇛ Google has recently reported that Chromium has a security issue – Type confusion in the V8 JavaScript engine – which is reported in a bit more detail here: https:// chromereleases.googleblog.com/2022/03/ stable-channel-update-for- desktop_25.html.

I’m done with this company. I just learned that for the past three years, Wyze has been fully aware of a vulnerability in its home security cameras that could have theoretically let hackers access your video feeds over the internet — but chose to sweep it under the rug. And the security firm that found the vulnerability largely let them do it. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Russia_&_the_Great_Reset_–_Resistance_or_Complicity?⠀⇛ OffGuardian and Unlimited Hangout teamed up for a panel discussion/debate regarding Russia and its relationship to the Great Reset Agenda.

Terrifying photos and videos from these Kyiv suburb cities freed from Russian occupation were shared across various media outlets and social networks. Documented killings of civilians, traces of torture, pillaging of civilian property and possessions, and other war crimes flooded Facebook, Twitter, and Telegram, shining the international spotlight on the horrors unfolding. But then, Instagram began blocking content. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ AccessNow ☛ The_government_must_commit_to_ensuring_access to_an_open_internet_and_free_social_media_in_crisis-hit_Sri Lanka_–_Access_Now⠀⇛ The people of Sri Lanka are facing an attack by President Rajapaksa’s administration on their freedom of expression amid a state of emergency, curfews, and worsening economic crises. On Sunday, 3 April, correlating with widespread public demonstrations against the president’s declaration of a state of emergency, the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission on the orders of the Ministry of Defence shut down social media services, including Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, and WhatsApp in Sri Lanka. The ban on social media services was lifted after 15 hours, but this is not enough — the government must commit to open, accessible internet for all. “There is no justification for blocking access to social media in Sri Lanka,” said Raman Jit Singh Chima, Asia Pacific Policy Director and Senior International Counsel at Access Now. “It is not enough to merely lift the ban after depriving people of an avenue to exercise their right to free speech during a critical period. President Rajapaksa’s administration and the independent telecom regulator must provide strong reassurance to the people, and commit to refraining from taking any action to hinder people’s right to access the internet. You cannot silence a nation simply because you don’t like their criticism.” o § Monopolies⠀➾ # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Public Domain Review ☛ 5.2_Million_Book_Illustrations Deleted_from_Flickr_—_Help_Get_Them_Back_–_The_Public Domain_Review⠀⇛ Imagine a corner of the internet, free to all, where you could search, browse, and download from an archive of more than 5 million illustrations extracted from public domain books?
