LWN ☛ Debating ifupdown replacements for Debian trixie
Debian does not have an official way to configure networking. Instead, it has four recommended ways to configure networking, one of which is the venerable ifupdown, which has been part of Debian since the turn of the century and is showing its age. A conversation about its maintainability and possible replacement with ifupdown‑ng has led to discussions about the default network-management tools for Debian "trixie" (Debian 13, which is expected in 2025) and beyond. No route to consensus has been found, yet.
Time to retire ifupdown?
The classic ifupdown is a set of custom scripts for configuring networking in Debian that became a project in its own right after the Debian "potato" release in 2000. Debian now has not one, but several implementations of ifupdown. In addition to ifupdown-ng, there is ifupdown2, which is an implementation in Python with a largely closed development model involving a private repository where changes are later pushed into a public repository. BusyBox has its own ifupdown implementation as well.

Red Hat Official ☛ When LLMs day dream: Hallucinations and how to prevent them [Ed: Red Hat entertaining Microsoft nonsense and uses the same misleading terms that belittle a reality wherein LLMs are worthless, unmitigated nonsense]
An "AI hallucination" is a term used to indicate that an AI model has produced information that's either false or misleading, but is presented as factual. This is a direct result of the model training goal of always predicting the next token regardless of the question. It can be difficult to tell whether information provided by AI contains learned facts or a hallucination. This is a problem when you're trying to use an LLM for critical purposes and applications such as those used in healthcare or finance.
