  • Developments in Open Source Law in 2021 in Germany: Higher Regional Court decides on copyleft clause

    German courts made new rulings on Open Source licenses in 2021, such as the decision by the Karlsruhe Higher Regional Court dealing with the effect of the copyleft clause of the GPL-2.0. According to the Court, an infringement of the copyleft clause leads to the loss of the rights to use and modify this Open Source software. The infringement, however, does not entitle a third party to publish the source code of modifications of Open Source software on its own authority. The following article reviews this ruling.

    [...]

    At the same time, the GPL-2.0 contains a copyleft clause for "protection". The copyleft clause ensures that each recipient of the software also receives the same rights in all derivative works of the software, with the consequence that the source code must also be published to the recipients of the software. Thus, clause 2 Cool of the GPL 2.0 states:

  • MongoDB 5.2 database improves time series capabilities

    Database vendor MongoDB is continuing to expand the capabilities of its namesake platform with the release of MongoDB 5.2.

    The vendor introduced MongoDB 5.0 in July 2021 as a major update and has been updating it continually in the months since.

    The new MongoDB 5.2 update, released on Jan. 19, is part of a quarterly release cycle that the vendor refers to as a rapid release, with the goal of bringing features to users faster than waiting for a major milestone version update.

    Among the innovations first introduced in MongoDB 5.0 is time-series data support, which is improved in the update.

    MongoDB 5.2 also introduces a series of more efficient data queries for both time- series data and operational analytics.

  • Apache Hop data orchestration hits open source milestone

    The open source Apache Hop data orchestration platform has achieved a big milestone, becoming a Top Level Project at the Apache Software Foundation.

    Hop, a recursive acronym for the Hop Orchestration Platform, first came to the Apache Incubator in September 2020.

    The Apache Incubator is often the initial entry project for technologies into the ASF. After a project is able to demonstrate community and technology growth over a period of time, a project can be elevated to Top Level Project status, which signifies a milestone for project maturity.

  • Apache Ignite Adds Change Data Capture

    Apache Ignite has been updated with improvements including Change Data Capture (CDC), an Index Query API, and several vulnerability fixes. Ignite is a distributed database for high-performance computing with in-memory speed.

    Ignite can be used as a traditional SQL database via JDBC drivers, ODBC drivers, or its own native SQL APIs. By default, it runs purely in-memory, but clusters can be configured to run on a mix of disk and memory.

  • Phala Network Joins the Blender Developer Fund to Accelerate Metaverse 3D Modeling and Rendering

    Phala Network today announced that it has joined the Blender Developer Fund as a Corporate Gold Member. Participating alongside companies including Intel, Microsoft, AWS, Nvidia, and Adobe, Phala will contribute its decentralized Web3 compute services to Blender’s (blender.org) powerful 3D modeling platform so that organizations can develop and scale their emerging Metaverse worlds.

    With a global decentralized network of blockchain-based confidential compute nodes, Phala offers high-performance compute services for 3D modeling and rendering. Phala’a worker nodes will host the Blender rendering service in Secure Enclaves, a distributed privacy technology embedded in modern processors. This enables versatile and confidential execution while creating a powerful, secure, and scalable trustless public computing cloud.

  • Intel Releases SVT-AV1 0.9 For Quicker AV1 Video Encoding - Phoronix

    Intel in cooperation with the Alliance for Open Media have released SVT-AV1 0.9 with nearly one year worth of changes to this high performance CPU-based AV1 video encoder. SVT-AV1 0.9 is now even faster as shown by our latest benchmarks.

    This release of SVT-AV1 was going to be version 0.8.8 and was covered at the end of last year. But they opted for relabeling it as v0.9.0 due to the significant number of changes found with this release.
    SVT-AV1 0.9 features a variety of performance optimizations for existing preset levels plus adds new levels 9 through 12. As shown in that earlier Phoronix article and more benchmarks in this article, these new preset articles can really speed up the AV1 video encode process if looking to accomplish very speedy encodes.

  • How to install go1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04 – NextGenTips

    In this tutorial, we are going to explore how to install go on Ubuntu 22.04 Golang is an open-source programming language that is easy to learn and use. It is built-in concurrency and has a robust standard library. It is reliable, builds fast, and efficient software that scales fast. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel-type systems enable flexible and modular program constructions. Go compiles quickly to machine code and has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. In this guide, we are going to learn how to install golang 1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04. Go 1.19beta1 is not yet released. There is so much work in progress with all the documentation.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. 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 MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
