The company is headed by a man by the name of Dale Amon. I have worked, on and off, for them for about 2-3 years. They are developing a piece of software that is used to extract data from their proprietary black box systems. This piece of software uses GNUstep. They were born from a previous company known as XCOR which was developing a space plane at the Mojave space port. That company is now defunct. Okay, so with that bit of history, I worked for a while for XCOR and then, because ImmortalData inherited the software, for them as well. When I worked for XCOR it was as a contractor. There have been issues with the software (some GNUstep bugs and some bugs due to problems introduced by Dale) that I have been asked to address. At the end of a meeting a few weeks ago Dale made a comment like "Well, this issue seems like a GNUstep bug, so there is no reason we should have to pay for any of this" which hit an EXTREMELY sour note with me.

At 80, he's maintained PCRE, and its successor PCRE2, for more than 27 years. For those doing the math, that's a year longer than LWN has been in publication. Exim maintenance was handed off around the time of his retirement in 2007. Now, he is ready to hand off PCRE2 as well, if a successor can be found. Punch cards to flat screens Hazel's tenure as a free-software developer is exceptional, if not record-breaking in its length. Linus Torvalds began working on Linux in 1991 as a college student and is still leading its development 33 years later with no signs of slowing. However, as Hazel wrote in his technical memoir From Punched Cards To Flat Screens, he began contributing to free software ""nearer the end than the start"" of his career. * § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ o ⚓ Carl Schwan ☛ Kirigami_Addons_1.3.0⠀⇛ Kirigami Addons 1.3.0 is out.

We talk to him about The_Tiny_Awards, which he co-created in 2023 to recognize small, independent projects that make the internet a more fun place to be. The Tiny Awards return this year with the winners announced this August. My favorite corner is the one that I’m currently trying to garden with The_Tiny_Awards. Last year I helped fund the first annual Tiny Awards which are meant to celebrate the creators making the internet feel cozy, homemade and fun… just because. We received over 300 submissions of small, whimsical web-based projects and over 1,500 votes across our 16 finalists. (Rotating_Sandwiches was our winner.) We’re at it again this year with the same intent: to honor those nurturing a weird, poetic and human-first internet. It’s easy to claim that the silly, creative web is lost or dead. I’d argue it’s alive and thriving. It’s just not easily found. The Tiny Awards is attempting to shine a small but important spotlight on those doing the important work. o ⚓ Cloudbooklet ☛ Mozilla_Hey_Hi_(AI)_Chatbot_in_Firefox_Sidebar_for Enhanced_Browsing⠀⇛ Mozilla Hey Hi (AI) Chatbot: Mozilla brings Hey Hi (AI) chatbots to Firefox sidebar for enhanced browsing, blending Hey Hi (AI) and browser. * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ Bryan Lunduke ☛ Lunduke's_Nerdy_Q_&_A_-_June_26,_2024⠀⇛ So many questions, so little time! ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 373 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/06/27/FSF_Mapping_the_process_of_the_new_board_nomination_and_review_.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/06/27/FSF_Mapping_the_process_of_the_new_board_nomination_and_review_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ FSF: Mapping the process of the new board nomination and review process⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jun 27, 2024 Quoting: Mapping the process of the new board nomination and review process — The Free Software Foundation (FSF) board of directors has drawn up a detailed diagram showing the procedure that the FSF is using to solicit advice from the community about possible new board members. The diagram details the roles of all parties directly involved in the process, as announced on January 18, 2022. The board has settled on a rigorous and thoroughly considered process designed to be transparent and engage members, while still also ensuring the FSF's core principles are protected. The FSF published the board matrix, which lists the three fundamental requisites for board members. It also lists other qualities considered valuable for board members to have when it comes to expertise, capacity, relationships, and diversity, as well as skills and experiences. The board matrix highlights some desirable attributes in new potential board members to help guide nominations. With this in mind, the board member nomination process has started by following the steps outlined in the diagram.

Among the various tools and platforms available, GNU/Linux stands out as a powerful ally in education. As an open-source operating system, GNU/ Linux offers unparalleled opportunities for learning, innovation, and development. This article delves into how GNU/Linux empowers students through open source learning, highlighting its advantages, implementation strategies, and real-world benefits. § The Rise of Open Source in Education Open source software, characterized by its freely available source code, has a rich history rooted in the principles of collaboration, transparency, and community-driven development. The rise of open source has transformed various sectors, including education. Historically, open source software began as a niche movement but has grown into a mainstream phenomenon, driven by the need for cost-effective, flexible, and innovative solutions. In education, the adoption of open source software has been particularly significant. It offers educators and institutions the ability to customize and adapt tools to meet specific educational needs. Examples of popular open source software used in education include the Moodle learning management system, the LibreOffice suite, and the versatile GNU/Linux operating system itself. § Advantages of Using GNU/Linux in Education Read_on ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 636 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/06/27/Kernel_Picks_Collabora_and_LWN.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/06/27/Kernel_Picks_Collabora_and_LWN.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Kernel Picks: Collabora and LWN⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 27, 2024 * ⚓ Collabora ☛ Smart_audio_filters_with_WirePlumber_0.5⠀⇛ WirePlumber 0.5 arrived recently with many new and essential features including the Smart Filter Policy, enabling audio filters to automatically insert themselves in between client streams and devices. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Improving_control-flow_integrity_for_Linux_on_RISC-V⠀⇛ Redirecting execution flow is a common malware technique that can be used to compromise operating systems. To protect from such attacks, the chip makers of leading architectures like x86 and arm64 have implemented control-flow-integrity (CFI) extensions, though they need system software support to function. At the Linux Security Summit North America, RISC- V kernel developer Deepak Gupta described the CFI protections for that architecture and invited community input on the kernel support for them. RISC-V is an instruction set architecture (ISA) that follows the philosophy of open-source hardware. Its attractiveness lies in its lack of ISA licensing fees and that it is extensible, allowing designers to integrate custom instructions and features tailored to their specific needs. Notably, startups have chosen to adopt RISC-V and the European Union has made substantial investment toward developing its own chips based on the architecture. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Capturing_stack_traces_asynchronously_with_BPF⠀⇛ Andrii Nakryiko led a session at the 2024 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit giving a look into the APIs for capturing stack traces using BPF, and how the APIs could be made more useful. BPF programs can capture the current stack trace of a running process, including the portion in the kernel during execution of a system call, which can be useful for diagnosing performance problems, among other things. But there are substantial problems with the existing API. The existing way to get stack traces in BPF is to create a BPF map for containing the elements of the trace, and then to call bpf_get_stackid() from the BPF side, which returns a unique ID for the map, Nakryiko explained. Then in user space, the program could do a normal map lookup to retrieve the stack trace. The kernel also captures and stores some related information, such as the ELF build ID and the file offset, which helps identify what program the stack trace corresponds to for offline analysis. This API sounds fairly simple, but unfortunately it has a few quirks, he said. * ⚓ LWN ☛ BPF_tracing_performance⠀⇛ On the final day of the 2024 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, the BPF track opened with a series of sessions on improving the performance and flexibility of probes and other performance-monitoring tools, in the kernel and in user space. Jiri Olsa led two sessions about different aspects of probes: making the API for BPF programs attached to a probe more flexible, and making user-space probes more efficient. Olsa introduced an improvement to kprobes; he posted a new way to attach a single program to the entry and exit hooks for a function. This is already technically possible, but it's a pain to work with, because the BPF program has no way to match entries and exits up with one another. Olsa's new API, called kprobe_multi, will give the BPF program a cookie to match calls to the entry and exit hooks with each other, as well as allowing the entry hook to request that the exit hook be skipped if the event is not something the BPF program is interested in. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Static_keys_for_BPF⠀⇛ The kernel has a lot of code paths that are normally disabled: debugging print statements, tracepoints, etc. To support these efficiently, there is a common mechanism called static keys that provides a way to enable or disable a code path at run time, with effectively no overhead for disabled branches. BPF programs have not been able to take advantage of static keys so far, because they aren't compiled into the kernel. Now, it looks like BPF may be getting support for a similar mechanism — and the design could also provide one of the components needed to support jump tables, another missing feature. Anton Protopopov presented his plans to add static keys to BPF at the 2024 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Simplifying_the_BPF_verifier⠀⇛ The BPF verifier is a complex program. This has the unfortunate effect of making it simultaneously more difficult for contributors to work on, and more likely to harbor unknown bugs. Shung-Hsi Yu had two concrete proposals for how to simplify the verifier to make it easier to maintain that he presented at the 2024 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit. Yu proposed changing how the verifier tracks partially known values and cleaning up the interface to hide the details of the value-tracker's internal representation. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Nested_bottom-half_locking_for_realtime_kernels⠀⇛ Software-interrupt handlers (also called "bottom halves") have a long history in the Linux kernel; for much of that history, developers have wished that they could go away. One of their unfortunate characteristics is that they can add unexpected latency to the execution of unrelated processes; this problem is felt especially acutely in the realtime-preemption community. The solution adopted there has created problems of its own, though; in response Sebastian Andrzej Siewior is proposing a new locking mechanism for realtime builds of the kernel that may have benefits for non-realtime users as well. In normal kernel builds, a software-interrupt handler will run, if needed, at the earliest opportunity that the kernel finds; usually, that is immediately after the completion of a hardware-interrupt handler or on return from the kernel to user space. Either way, software-interrupt handling can delay the execution of a process that may have nothing to do with the creation of that interrupt. For most systems, that delay is not usually a problem, but realtime kernels are all about response time; a badly timed software-interrupt handler has the potential to cause a realtime task to miss its deadline. It turns out that the realtime developers are firmly of the opinion that they have not worked on that project for over two decades just to be thwarted by a software-interrupt handler. So those handlers have been made preemptible like nearly everything else in realtime kernels. That change only addresses part of the problem, though. The kernel makes heavy use of per- CPU variables as a way of avoiding contention between processors; as long as no other CPU can access a memory location, there will be no contention for it, and no need for locking to ensure mutual exclusion. Except, of course, if a software-interrupt handler runs and tries to access the same data. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 810 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/06/27/NVIDIA_555_58_Linux_Graphics_Driver_Released_with_Explicit_Sync.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/06/27/NVIDIA_555_58_Linux_Graphics_Driver_Released_with_Explicit_Sync.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ NVIDIA 555.58 Linux Graphics Driver Released with Explicit Sync on Wayland⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Jun 27, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇NVIDIA_555.58⦈_ The biggest new feature of the upcoming NVIDIA 555.58 graphics driver is the highly anticipated explicit GPU sync support for Wayland via the linux-drm- syncobj-v1 protocol that was recently implemented in major desktop environment releases like GNOME 46.1 and KDE Plasma 6.1.

Sophisticated Linux malware employs various evasive techniques to deter analysis. The embedded trace microcell (ETM) supported by modern Arm CPUs is a suitable hardware tracer for analyzing evasive malware because it is almost artifact-free and has negligible overhead. In this paper, we present an efficient method to automatically find debugger-detection routines using the ETM hardware tracer. The proposed scheme reconstructs the execution flow of the compiled binary code from ETM trace data. In addition, it automatically identifies and patches the debugger-detection routine by comparing two traces (with and without the debugger). The proposed method was implemented using the Ghidra plug-in program, which is one of the most widely used disassemblers. To verify its effectiveness, 15 debugger-detection techniques were investigated in the Arm- Linux environment to determine whether they could be detected. We also confirmed that our implementation works successfully for the popular malicious Mirai malware in Linux. Experiments were further conducted on 423 malware samples collected from the Internet, demonstrating that our implementation works well for real malware samples. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Quectel_FLM263D_2.4_GHz_WiFi_6_and_BLE_5.2_RISC-V_module supports_Amazon_Alexa_Connect_Kit_(ACK)_SDK_for_Matter⠀⇛ Quectel Wireless FLM263D is a standalone WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 LE module with a 320 MHz RISC-V microcontroller that supports Alexa Connect Kit (ACK) SDK for Matter for connectivity with Amazon Alexa, Surveillance Giant Google Home, Samsung SmartThings, Fashion Company Apple HomeKit, and other Matter-compliant Smart Home devices. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Windows_1.0_goes_back_to_the_future_with_the_help_of Raspberry_Pi_–_PicoVision_and_emulation_let_you_GUI_like_it's_1985⠀⇛ The Pimoroni PicoVision incorporates two RP2040 microcontrollers, offering plenty of computing power to run the OG backdoored Windows 1.01 version. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 966 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/06/27/openSUSE_Asia_Summit_2025_and_openSUSE_for_lazy_developers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/06/27/openSUSE_Asia_Summit_2025_and_openSUSE_for_lazy_developers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ openSUSE.Asia Summit 2025 and openSUSE for lazy developers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 27, 2024 * ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ openSUSE.Asia_Summit_2025:_Call_for_Host⠀⇛ The openSUSE.Asia Summit is an annual openSUSE conference in Asia and a great opportunity for contributors and enthusiasts from Asia to come together and meet face-to-face.

Aside from the new coat of naming paint, Aeon breaks ground in a few other ways by dabbling with technologies not found in other openSUSE releases. The goal for Aeon is to provide automated system updates using snapshots that can be applied atomically, removing the burden of system maintenance for ""lazy developers"" who want to focus on their work rather than desktop administration. System-tinkerers need not apply. The idea behind Aeon, as with other immutable (or image-based) Linux distributions, is to provide the core of the distribution as a read-only image or filesystem that is updated atomically and can be rolled back if needed. Google's ChromeOS was the first popular Linux-based desktop operating system to follow this model. Since the release of ChromeOS a number of interesting immutable implementations have cropped up, such as Fedora Silverblue, Project Bluefin (covered here in December 2023), openSUSE's MicroOS (covered here in March 2023), and Ubuntu Core. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1020 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/06/27/PipeWire_1_2_Released_with_Asynchronous_Processing_and_Explicit.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/06/27/PipeWire_1_2_Released_with_Asynchronous_Processing_and_Explicit.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ PipeWire 1.2 Released with Asynchronous Processing and Explicit Sync Metadata⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Jun 27, 2024, updated Jun 27, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇PipeWire_1.2⦈_ Highlights of PipeWire 1.2 (codename Aviation) include explicit sync metadata support, Snap support for Ubuntu and other distributions that use Canonical’s sandboxed app packaging format, support for mandatory metadata when negotiation buffer parameters, and asynchronous processing support allowing nodes to be scheduled asynchronously.

Brandt Bucher is a member of the Faster CPython project, which is working on making the reference implementation of the language faster via a variety of techniques. Last year at PyCon, he gave a talk about the specializing adaptive interpreter; at PyCon 2024 in Pittsburgh, he described the work he and others have been doing to add a copy-and-patch JIT compiler to CPython. [...] He began with a little bit about himself; "I started using Python about seven years ago and everything since then has been a kind of in a whirlwind". He started contributing code to Python, then joined the bug-triage team, and became a core developer after he worked on the structural-pattern-matching feature. He currently works on the Microsoft Faster CPython team ("it's my literal 'dream job'"); he helped to make CPython 3.11 25% faster for most workloads.

In short the Types team's purview extends to the parts of the Rust language and compiler that involve the type system, e.g. type checking, trait solving, and borrow checking. Our short and long term goals effectively work to make the type system sound, consistent, extensible, and fast. Before getting into details, it's worth sharing a quick point: the team over the last year has been very successful. Oftentimes, it's hard to measure impact, particularly when long-term roadmap goals are hard to quantify progress on and various short-term goals either are hit or aren't. But, there is one clear statistic that is somewhat indicative of the team's progress: over the last year or so, more_than_50_user-facing_changes have landed, each separately approved by Types Team consensus through FCP. * ⚓ Niko_Matsakis:_More_thoughts_on_claiming⠀⇛ This is the first of what I think will be several follow-up posts to “Claiming,_auto_and_otherwise”.

Since then, the Linux CNA Team has developed workflows and mechanisms to help manage the various tasks associated with this challenge. There does however, appear to be a lack of understanding among community members of the processes and rules the team have been working within. The principal aim of this article, written by a member of the Linux kernel CNA team, is to clarify how the team works and how kernel CVE numbers are assigned. Some early CVE announcements raised questions both on the mailing lists and off. The Linux CNA Team has received messages of firm support, particularly from those dedicating significant time to Linux security. Other messages, largely received from distributors and teams that look after enterprise platforms and attempt to remain stable yet secure by taking the fewest changes possible, have reflected some concern. Some of the stronger points raised were about how the rise in the number of CVEs would increase workload and overwhelm security teams attempting to review them all. Others have suggested that consumers of CVEs at the distribution and enterprise level, particularly those charging for this service, should have been reviewing all stable commits for fixes to relevant security flaws all along. One independent, security-related maintainer was particularly taken aback that paid-for distributions were not reviewing additional stable fixes beyond those identified as CVE candidates as they should have been. * ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ VA_still_dealing_with_fallout_from_Change Healthcare_ransomware_attack [Ed: Windows TCO?]⠀⇛ The VA data systems affected by the ransomware attack are all now back online, but the downtime has created long backlogs that still need to be sorted out. * ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ The_US_Is_Banning_Kaspersky⠀⇛ The Biden administration on Thursday said it’s banning the company from selling its products to new US-based customers starting on July 20, with the company only allowed to provide software updates to existing customers through September 29. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1690 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/06/27/Shotcut_24_06_Video_Editor_Adds_AVIF_Image_Support_and_SVT_AV1_.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/06/27/Shotcut_24_06_Video_Editor_Adds_AVIF_Image_Support_and_SVT_AV1_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Shotcut 24.06 Video Editor Adds AVIF Image Support and SVT-AV1 Encoder⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Jun 27, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Shotcut_24.06⦈_ Highlights of Shotcut 24.06 include support for AVIF (AV1) images, support for the SVT-AV1 encoder as a faster non-hardware AV1 encoder, support for DJI LRF (MP4) files as a proxy, a new Scrub While Dragging function for Keyframes, and a new Drop Shadow video filter that uses the input alpha channel.

But the evolution to containers—and microservices and Kubernetes—was actually decades in the making, based on kernel primitives in the Linux operating system. Docker used these primitives, namely cgroups and namespaces, as building blocks to create a lightweight, easy-to-use software packaging format. Linux containers had been used by Google and others for many years, but Docker made them easily accessible to mainstream developers. And that’s what we’re seeing today around eBPF—another technology born out of Linux kernel primitives. Every major networking, observability, and security vendor is making claims of “eBPF-powered” offerings today. eBPF tools like Cilium, Tetragon, and Falco are becoming entrenched in enterprise architecture and cloud service provider offerings alike. And it’s just the beginning for eBPF-based breakthroughs, according to one if its creators. o ⚓ PR Newswire ☛ Xojo_2024_Release_2_Introduces_Easy_Database Connection,_Web_Performance_Improvements,_iOS_Manifest_Privacy Editor,_Android_TCP_Socket_Support_and_Barcode_Support_on_Linux⠀⇛ Xojo, Inc., the developers behind Xojo—a powerful cross- platform development tool and programming language—proudly announce the immediate availability of Xojo 2024 Release 2.
