Perhaps I need a newer version of Ubuntu than the one I’m running on my hardware in order to build some software, and containerization just isn’t working. Or maybe I need to test an app that I made modifications to in a fresh environment. In these instances, it can be quite helpful to be able to spin up these virtual machines quickly, and only install the bare minimum software you need for your use case. One common strategy when making a minimal or specially customized install is to use a server distro (like Ubuntu Server for instance) as the base and then install other things on top of it. * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Ayaneo_Retro_PC:_Inspired_by_Mac,_Runs_Windows,_Supports Ubuntu [Ed: OMG Windows, let's promote Windows as "Ubuntu"]⠀⇛ Apart from the likes of the Raspberry Pi, casual computer users don’t tend to buy mini desktop PCs – that could change thanks to gaming hardware company Ayaneo’s latest creation. The newly announced Ayaneo Retro Mini PC AM01 is a compact desktop computer powered by AMD processors. It’s housed inside of a 5- inch case designed to look as much like a beige Macintosh from the 1980s as it can, without attracting the ire of Apple. The front even flaunts a brazen six-colour rainbow logo (magnetic, and removable), while the faux display bears a phoney Finder- esque face on it. * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Generative_Hey_Hi_(AI)_explained [Ed: Canonical helps Microsoft spread mostly mindless hype - the hype Microsoft exploited to disguise the massive layoffs]⠀⇛ When Proprietary Chaffbot Company released Abusive Monopolist Microsoft Chaffbot on November 30, 2022, no one could have anticipated that the following 6 months would usher in a dizzying transformation for human society with the arrival of a new generation of artificial intelligence. * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_Blog:_MOTL:_Minis_Forum_N33_NUC⠀⇛ ✐ Part 1: The hardware setup⠀✐ As a first attempt at trying MAAS outside the lines (MOTL), let’s pick a random, inexpensive Next Unit of Computing (NUC). Indeed, let’s start with a Minis Forum N33, which is older and “out of print.” The relevant forum is offline, and manuals are hard to Surveillance Giant Google up. Nice challenge. PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) booting is a key technology in network-based computing. It enables computers to boot from a network, independent of local storage devices. PXE enables provisioning environments like MAAS. We can’t remotely deploy operating systems and applications if we can’t control the unit. PXE plays a critical role for MAAS. It automates the installation, reconfiguration, and re-purposing of servers. It streamlines operations in data centers, managed IT services, and sophisticated home networks. The Minis Forum N33 NUC, with its compact form factor and versatility, is a potential candidate for MAAS. The N33 is versatile. It can function as home media center, a lightweight server, or a desktop replacement. Whether or not the N33’s really supports PXE booting, though, is pretty much undocumented. So let’s figure it out. Along the way, maybe we can uncover a few of the mysteries of PXE booting. Our objective is not just to determine whether the N33 will PXE boot, but also to document the research process, hopefully bridging a literature gap. We aim to qualify or reject the Minis Forum N33 NUC as a viable option for MAAS via thorough examination. This exploration may illuminate new possibilities for this device. Maybe it can be an asset for small clouds. More importantly, this also lays the groundwork for vetting MAAS-friendly devices. * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_Blog:_Fast_and_reliable_telco_edge_clouds_with defective_chip_maker_Intel_FlexRAN_and_Real-time_Ubuntu_for_5G_URLLC scenarios⠀⇛ Intel and Canonical have been collaborating to deliver advanced infrastructure that can run the networks of the future. More and more, we see edge cloud systems deployed closer to end users and systems to meet the ever-increasing demand for faster edge networks that can rapidly deliver business services and boost productivity. This requires highly efficient technical integration of multiple complementary technologies at the network’s edge, including operating system, cloud infrastructure control and management systems, and hardware that enables fast information processing. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 362 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://news.tuxmachines.org/n/2023/12/01/CentOS_s_November_2023_Newsletter_and_Fedora_Magazine_on_rpm_os.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2023/12/01/CentOS_s_November_2023_Newsletter_and_Fedora_Magazine_on_rpm_os.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ CentOS's November 2023 Newsletter and Fedora Magazine on ‘rpm-ostree search’⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 01, 2023 * ⚓ CentOS ☛ CentOS's_November_2023_Newsletter⠀⇛ November 2023 Newsletter CentOS Connect will be held February 1-2 in Brussels, right before FOSDEM.

CentOS is part of the organizing team. The CFP is open. * ⚓ Fedora Magazine ☛ Fedora_Magazine:_Searching_for_packages_with_‘rpm- ostree_search’⠀⇛ This article descibes how to find an application to add to your ostree based system (such as Silverblue and Kinoite) using rpm- ostree. One of the main benefits of the Fedora ostree-based systems is the immutability of the system. Not only is the image read- only, it’s also pre-built on the Fedora servers. Thus, updating a running system downloads the update deltas (that is, only the differences) and patches the system. This makes the many installations identical by default. A pre-built image will be good enough for most people, since users are normally encouraged to use both flatpaks for applications and toolbox for development tasks. But what if the specific application doesn’t fit this and the user requires installing applications on the host system? ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 414 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://news.tuxmachines.org/n/2023/12/01/Databases_Pgpool_II_Releases_PostgreSQL_Conference_Germany_2024.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2023/12/01/Databases_Pgpool_II_Releases_PostgreSQL_Conference_Germany_2024.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Databases: Pgpool-II Releases, PostgreSQL Conference Germany 2024, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 01, 2023 * ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ Pgpool-II_4.4.5,_4.3.8,_4.2.15,_4.1.18_and_4.0.25 released.⠀⇛ o 4.4.5 o 4.3.8 o 4.2.15 o 4.1.18 o 4.0.25 Please note that 4.0.25 is the last release of the 4.0.x series. * ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ PostgreSQL_Conference_Germany_2024⠀⇛ PGConf.de 2024 is the next iteration of the PostgreSQL Conference Germany.

My talk was titled “Open Source Supply Chain Security at Google” and was 45 minutes long. I spent a while at the start defining open source supply chain security and a while at the end on comparisons with the 1970s. In between, I talked about various supply chain-related efforts at Google. All the Google efforts mentioned in the talk have been publicly discussed elsewhere and are linked below. * ⚓ Paolo Melchiorre ☛ Pelican_4.9:_classless_Simple_theme_with_semantic HTML⠀⇛ Two weeks ago, version 4.9 of Pelican was released, the Python- based static site generator that I have been using for years for my blog.

If you insist on plain text email, you're increasingly an anachronism. Many people writing email probably don't even think about people who prefer plain text, and I think many mail clients will default to HTML even if you're replying to a plain text message, so even if you write to me in HTML and I write back in plain text, your reply is back to HTML again. * ⚓ [Repeat] Daniel Stenberg ☛ xCurl⠀⇛ I have not been able to figure out how to download xCurl in any form, and since I can’t find the source code I cannot really get a grip of exactly how much and how invasive Microsoft has patched this. They have not been in touch or communicated about this work of theirs to anyone in the curl project. Therefore, I also cannot say which libcurl version this is based on – as there is no telling of that on the page describing xCurl. * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ CCC ☛ 37c3:_37th_Chaos_Communication_Congress⠀⇛ 27.-30.12.2023, CCH Hamburg o ⚓ FSF ☛ EmacsConf_joins_Free_Software_Foundation_fiscal_sponsorship program⠀⇛ EmacsConf is the premier Emacs conference.

The Intel 386 processor (1985) was a pivotal development for Intel as it moved x86 to CMOS (as well as being the first 32-bit x86 processor). The 386's CMOS circuitry required four clock signals. An external crystal oscillator provided the 386 with a single clock signal and the 386's internal circuitry generated four carefully-timed internal clock signals from the external clock. * ⚓ Purism ☛ Purism_Leads_in_USA-Made_Phones⠀⇛ The Liberty phone has all the electronics manufactured in the United States of America at the Purism facility, the Liberty phone is one of the most advanced electronics coming out of the USA. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 974 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://news.tuxmachines.org/n/2023/12/01/Maui_Release_Briefing_4_MauiKit.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2023/12/01/Maui_Release_Briefing_4_MauiKit.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Maui Release Briefing # 4 - MauiKit⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 01, 2023 Today, we bring you a report on the brand-new release of the Maui Project.

The framework, which the space agency has released under the Apache license, consists of an operating system abstraction layer (OSAL), the underlying OS (VxWorks, FreeRTOS, RTEMS, POSIX, etc.), and the applications that run on top of the OSAL alongside the Core Flight Executive (cFE) component. Here cFS apps can be loaded and unloaded dynamically, along with cFS libraries, as cFS supports both static and dynamic linking. There are a few sample applications to get started with, and documentation is available, should you wish to use cFS for your own projects. Admittedly, it’s a more complex framework than you’d need for a backyard rover. But who knows?

The examination, which began more than a decade ago, is the largest in the agency’s history, and it’s far from over, as Microsoft has vowed to appeal the findings. The centerpiece of the audit, as ProPublica detailed in an investigation nearly four years ago, is a 2005 transaction that moved tens of billions of Microsoft’s U.S. profits to Puerto Rico to help the software giant save billions in taxes. In a letter sent Wednesday, three senators, citing ProPublica’s reporting, focused attention on the company that helped Microsoft cook up that scheme: the mega-consultancy KPMG. * ⚓ Tedium ☛ A_Note_On_Note_Apps⠀⇛ You shouldn’t rely on a SaaS-based note-taking application, in my view, and if you buy something, buy it outright.

We show an adversary can extract gigabytes of training data from open-source language models like Pythia or GPT-Neo, semi-open models like LLaMA or Falcon, and closed models like ChatGPT. Existing techniques from the literature suffice to attack unaligned models; in order to attack the aligned ChatGPT, we develop a new divergence attack that causes the model to diverge from its chatbot-style generations and emit training data at a rate 150x higher than when behaving properly. Our methods show practical attacks can recover far more data than previously thought, and reveal that current alignment techniques do not eliminate memorization. * § Windows TCO⠀➾ o ⚓ BW Businessworld Media Pvt Ltd ☛ Okta_Confirms_Data_Breach: Hackers_Steal_Information_on_All_Users,_Prompting_Security Concerns⠀⇛ Okta provides identity services such as single sign-on and multi-factor authentication to secure logins for online applications and websites to customers, including Microsoft-backed OpenAI. o ⚓ [Repeat] Data Breaches ☛ Proliance_Surgeons_notifying_437,392 patients_after_ransomware_attack_earlier_this_year⠀⇛ On November 17, Proliance Surgeons notified HHS that 437,392 patients were affected by a breach.
