I prefer communicating via email to any other means of interaction (other than face-to-face). Email is efficient, used globally, isn't OS-dependent, and allows me to catalog and organize my inbox as I see fit, even retaining years of searchable communications. In a nutshell, I depend on email. On Linux, there are many routes you can take to make the most of email. There are closed-source applications, like Proton Mail and BlueMail. There are even terminal-based email clients, such as Mutt. But I tend to prefer my email clients open. I've used every open-source email client available and have determined the following five to be the best. Let's dig in.

To those people, I'd say, "nay, nay!" In fact, there's a Linux distribution suited for every sort of user -- even those with zero experience with open- source software. That said, I cannot deny that there are certain Linux distributions from which new users should shy away. Choose the wrong distribution and the experience will sour you on Linux very quickly. Choose the right distribution and it'll be smooth sailing. Most "best of" lists of Linux distributions focus on new users because introducing people to Linux is a calling. For power users with more skills than the average bear, which distribution do you use? I have some suggestions for you. Let's dig in and review five advanced Linux distributions you should consider trying.

Smiley first appeared in the 1960s and is regarded as the first expression symbols. Smiley is a yellow face with two dots for eyes and a wide grin which is printed on buttons, brooches, and t-shirts. An emoji is a pictogram, logogram, ideogram or smiley embedded in text and used in electronic messages and web pages.

Entries in the Directory can contain a wealth of useful information, from basic category and descriptions, to providing detailed info about version control, IRC channels, documentation, and licensing info that has been carefully checked by FSF staff and trained volunteers. When a user visits the Directory, they know that everything in it is free software, has only free dependencies, and runs on a free operating system. With almost 17,000 entries, it is a massive repository of information about free software. While the Directory has been, and continues to be, a great resource to the world for many years now, it has the potential to be a resource of even greater value. But it needs your help!

ORAN would allow the military to knit together a diverse ecosystem of technology providers into specialized connectivity solutions, according to Silbey. * § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ o ⚓ Doc Searls ☛ Setting_the_terms,_redux⠀⇛ I wrote for Linux Journal from 1996 to 2019, the final years as editor-in-chief. After ownership changed and the whole staff turned over, the new owner, Slashdot Media, agreed to keep the server up so nothing would be 404’d. I am grateful that they have kept that promise. I should add, however, that some of the archive seems to be missing—or so I assume because keyword searches on Google, Bing, and the site itself fail to bring up some items. Fortunately, I have an archive of my own writing for the magazine—or at least of the final drafts I submitted. Since the cadence of this blog has fallen off a bit, I think a good way to fill open spaces in time is to re-publish columns I wrote for Linux Journal when Linux was still an underpenguin and the open source movement was still new, growing, and a threat to the likes of Microsoft. (Which has since flipped its stance. We’re well past GandiCon 4 now.*) This piece is one example: a small hunk of history that bears re-telling.

If you’re of the ilk to complain about governments giving money away and what that means for taxpayers, the Germans — or at least their government — are doing this because it will be good for the economy, meaning they think it’ll make folks better able to pay their taxes rather just empty their pockets for the taxman. This is also why they’ve already spending a substantial amount of money to help fund over 40 FOSS projects. Read_on Direct Link: * ⚓ Introducing_the_Fellowship_for_Maintainers_|_Sovereign_Tech_Fund⠀⇛ Open source infrastructure is the backbone of our digital world - and the work of the people who maintain it is essential to ensuring the security and availability of this global resource. They lead project development, review changes, manage community interactions, and tackle security issues. Yet, most of this work happens behind the scenes, unpaid, and in maintainers’ spare time. In the long run, this isn’t sustainable, and in some cases leads to stress and burnout. The Tidelift Maintainer Study found that 59% of maintainers have quit or considered quitting, posing a risk to the digital infrastructure we all rely on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣽⢃⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣷⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠠⠄⠀⡀⣀⣀⣶⣟⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⢀⢫⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⢀⠄⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⢀⣤⣤⡀⢐⠯⣿⣿⣿⣓⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⣀⠊⠂⠀⠀⠀⠘⢻⣿⠇⠀⠀⢰⣼⠀⠀⠀⣤⡨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡁⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣰⣿⣿⣷⡏⠐⡐⣺⣿⡯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⡦⣈⠉⣟⠲⠐⠠⠀⠀⠸⠛⡝⠀⠀⢀⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣶⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣟⡉⠳⣠⣭⣽⣿⢯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠯⢼⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣷⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡤⠀⠀⠸⠿⠛⠂⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣾⠞⠊⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢋⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣠⠂⠁⠀⣀⠠⠠⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⣠⠌⠁⣀⡔⠁⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣷⣀⠀⠀⢰⣿⠟⠉⠉⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣔⠋⢀⡼⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⣾⣇⠀⣰⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⠂⠄⡽⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⡄⢠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠉⣽⣿⠟⢿⣿⣿⣶⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⢿⡇⣿⢣⠏⠭⣻⢟⣻⢿⣿⠈⠀⠩⠫⠀⢐⠂⠤⠀⣸⣿⣿⣷⡓⠎⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣄⡈⠋⢃⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣼⣧⣧⡻⣟⣼⢓⡀⠀⣦⡞⢠⠀⠀⠁⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⡩⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⡛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠸⣻⠃⡆⠸⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⡛⠻⣿⡿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡖⢉⣠⣴⣶⣶⣦⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠁⠇⠀⢲⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢀⡏⢠⣾⣧⠈⣿⣿⠟⣛⣻⠟⣿⠿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣵⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⠀⠀⠄⠀⠈⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢋⣴⣿⠁⢸⣿⡟⠀⣿⣿⣀⣒⣿⡀⠟⢸⡇⢐⢠⡟⢡⡆⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢆⠄⠰⠀⠀⠉⠛⠛⢛⣩⣭⣭⡉⡀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣭⣭⣹⣧⣈⢛⣁⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣻⣶⣿⢦⠤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⢠⢖⣵⠺⡷⣿⣿⣿⠌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣺⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣗⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⣩⠉⢹⣿⣯⠉⣿⣿⣛⡛⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠷⣄⠈⠛⠿⠿⣿⣿⡿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⣞⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⠛⢡⣾⣿⡆⠸⣿⠏⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣯⣶⡧⡦⢶⡏⣍⣭⠭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣬⠉⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⡀⠀⣿⣿⣷⣾⡿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣶⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣷⣷⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣤⣤⣤⣾⣯⣭⣭⣉⣘⣻⣿⣿⡏⠑⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡿⠿⢿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⠿⡞⠻⠧⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣾⣻⣿⣿⣿⣌⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⠉⣀⣤⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣤⠹⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠽⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠘⠉⣩⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣵⣾⣧⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣶⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⡑⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 871 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/08/07/Godot_in_Gamescom_and_Top_1000_Games_on_Steam_71_Working_on_the.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/08/07/Godot_in_Gamescom_and_Top_1000_Games_on_Steam_71_Working_on_the.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Godot in Gamescom and Top 1000 Games on Steam: 71% Working on the Steam Deck (GNU/ Linux)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 07, 2024 * ⚓ Godot Engine ☛ Gamescom_here_we_come!⠀⇛ We are once again attending gamescom, and organizing two meet- up opportunities this time. * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ Top_1000_Games_on_Steam:_71%_Working_on_the_Steam_Deck in_August_2024⠀⇛ Hi Everyone!

But I’m not sure how I feel about their latest_admission which makes their dependency story more like npm and less like the web. Designing Deno’s module system around HTTP imports was ambitious. It aimed to replace npm with a distributed system over HTTP, aligning with how ES Modules work in browsers. This eliminated the need for package.json files and node_modules folders, simplifying project structures. Deno scripts could scale down to single-file programs without a project directory or configuration. Deno’s HTTP imports were one of my favorite features! But alas, it seem the dream is dead. Or rather, there were trade-offs. One trade-off to HTTP imports was decentralization[1], which by definition entails a lack of centralized control. But, when you can’t control the end-user experience of your product, your brand suffers even when it’s not your fault. It seems this began happening to Deno where folks pointed their module dependencies at a variety of hosts and any poor performance from a third-party was a perceived poor performance on the part of Deno. o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Tor ☛ New_Release:_Tor_Browser_13.5.2_|_The_Tor_Project⠀⇛ Tor Browser 13.5.2 is now available from the Tor Browser download page and also from our distribution directory.

If you want to know it, Linux can give it to you -- from security, network, disk space, users, and everything in between. But what about your hardware? How do you gather information about the actual machine you are using? This can come in handy when you need to know what CPU you're dealing with, what drives are connected, or what company made the machine (and even the version number). Fortunately, those details are at your fingertips and I'm going to show you five commands to help you gather it. So, stretch out those fingers and get ready to type. * ⚓ 5_best_Linux_commands_for_troubleshooting_problems_(and_how_I_use_them) |_ZDNET⠀⇛ Much to the chagrin of those who'd like to malign the Linux operating system, it's actually quite easy to use. Thanks to modern GUI desktop environments and applications, anyone could jump into the fray and know what they're doing. But on the rare occasion in which trouble arises, you might want to know a few commands to help you out. The problem is that there are so many commands available to you within the realm of Linux, which makes it challenging to know which commands are the best options. * ⚓ 5_Linux_commands_for_troubleshooting_connectivity_issues_|_ZDNET⠀⇛ Modern network connectivity is light years ahead of what it once was. Even though it's much more reliable than it was in the 1990s, issues still come up -- which is why I'm glad that Linux includes a bevy of commands I can use to start troubleshooting the problem. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1142 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/08/07/Kernel_SLUBStick_Realities_Not_Quite_as_Bad_as_Media_Put_It.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/08/07/Kernel_SLUBStick_Realities_Not_Quite_as_Bad_as_Media_Put_It.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Kernel: SLUBStick Realities (Not Quite as Bad as Media Put It)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 07, 2024 * ⚓ USENIX ☛ SLUBStick:_Arbitrary_Memory_Writes_through_Practical_Software Cross-Cache_Attacks_within_the_Linux_Kernel_|_USENIX⠀⇛ While the number of vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel has increased significantly in recent years, most have limited capabilities, such as corrupting a few bytes in restricted allocator caches. To elevate their capabilities, security researchers have proposed software cross-cache attacks, exploiting the memory reuse of the kernel allocator. However, such cross-cache attacks are impractical due to their low success rate of only 40 %, with failure scenarios often resulting in a system crash. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ New_Linux_kernel_attack_slips_past_modern_defenses_— SLUBStick_boasts_a_99%_success_rate⠀⇛ For SLUBStick to work, attackers need local access to the attacked Linux system. The attack also requires the presence of a heap vulnerability in the Linux kernel, which has been found in both the 5.19 Linux kernel and the 6.2 kernel. * ⚓ CSO ☛ New_Linux_kernel_cross-cache_attack_allows_arbitrary_memory writes_|_CSO_Online⠀⇛ Researchers from the Graz University of Technology have discovered a way to convert a limited heap vulnerability in the Linux kernel into a malicious memory writes capability to demonstrate novel software cross-cache attacks. While such vulnerabilities are known to be restricted in capabilities, allowing the corruption of only a few bytes in restricted allocator caches, the researchers exploited the memory reuse of the kernel allocator with a timing side-channel to improve their chances. * ⚓ [Old] Daniel López Azañ ☛ Differences_between_ASLR,_KASLR_and_KARL⠀⇛ Following the release of the Linux Kernel 4.12, which for the first time brings the KASLR feature enabled by default, and almost simultaneously the announcement of a feature called KARL in OpenBSD, I found it interesting to clarify the differences between these security techniques, since I think that the combination of both will be very important in the future of system security as they will prevent exploiting vulnerabilities related to memory corruption (buffer-overflow). ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1214 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/08/07/Open_Hardware_Modding_Raspberry_Pi_Milk_V_and_More.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/08/07/Open_Hardware_Modding_Raspberry_Pi_Milk_V_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding: Raspberry Pi, Milk- V, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 07, 2024 * ⚓ Why_we’re_taking_a_problem-first_approach_to_the_development_of_AI systems⠀⇛ In this blog, Ben Garside explains how we can help learners understand GenAI by focusing on solving problems. * ⚓ This_1980s_inspired_3D_printed_Raspberry_Pi_laptop_is_built_around_a Pico-powered_mechanical_keyboard⠀⇛ Michael Mayar has built a Raspberry Pi-powered laptop from scratch that features a mechanical keyboard and custom 3D- printed shell. * ⚓ Linamp_–_A_Raspberry_Pi_4-based_audio_box_with_Winamp_look_and_feel⠀⇛ Linamp is a media player box based on Raspberry Pi 4 SBC and a touchscreen display with a GUI that replicates the popular Winamp media player’s GUI that older readers may remember from the late 90s and early 2000s when it was one of the most popular music players for Windows. Rodmg found some renders of what a real Winamp player could look like online, and it inspired him to create his own. * ⚓ Check_out_MS-DOS_running_natively_on_modern_hardware,_showcasing_the incredible_backward_compatibility_of_x86⠀⇛ However, Inkbox circumvented this by using the Rufus tool to create a bootable DOS disk from a regular USB flash drive. After configuring the BIOS to boot in legacy mode and selecting the USB drive, he successfully booted into the "bare metal" MS- DOS 8.0 environment with relative ease. He was then able to install and play games like Doom and Pac- Man. * ⚓ It's_not_a_Nixie_clock,_it's_a_Pixie_clock⠀⇛ This project was inspired by Nixie tubes, an old technology used for displaying digits. The trouble with Nixie tubes is that they are quite dangerous, requiring 170 volts to produce their characteristic glow, and very expensive, since they are no longer mass produced. A safer, more modern approach is using LEDs to light the edges of engraved acrylic. * ⚓ [Repeat] Milk-V_Jupiter_is_the_first_ITX_RISC-V_board_I've_tested⠀⇛ The latest RISC-V computer I've tested is the Milk-V Jupiter. It's pokey at Intel Core 2 Duo levels of performance—at least according to Geekbench. But performance is only one aspect that interests me. This is the first RISC-V Mini ITX motherboard I've tested, which means it can be installed in a PC case or rackmount enclosure, and it is much more featureful than a typical credit-card-sized SBC. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1300 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/08/07/Openwashing_Why_Meta_should_be_lauded_for_choosing_open_source_.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/08/07/Openwashing_Why_Meta_should_be_lauded_for_choosing_open_source_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Openwashing: Why Meta should be lauded for choosing 'open-source' [sic] AI [sic]⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 07, 2024 But the new model is not fully open, because Meta hasn’t released the huge data set used to train it.

(I actually started a related project 9 years ago (!), and I’ll be able to reuse some of what I did back then!) The new project involves compiling the BASIC down into a bytecode suitable for a stack machine, and an implementation of such a stack machine. Importantly, there’ll soon be a second implementation which runs on a different architecture entirely: namely, it’ll be an implementation of this architecture on an FPGA. So the machine needs to be reasonably easy to implement in hardware — if it simplifies the core design, I’ll happily take tradeoffs that involve making the compiler more complicated, or the ISA more verbose. * ⚓ Jim Nielsen ☛ Just_Build_Websites⠀⇛ That’s good advice for my younger, golfing-self: don’t worry about what clubs you have, what balls you’re hitting, etc. Ignore all that and just go practice. * ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ libcurl_is_24_years_old⠀⇛ On Monday August 7, 2000 at 14:49 UTC, we announced the release of the first libcurl version ever. Exactly twenty-four years ago today. We called it version 7.1. The simple reason we did a point one release as the first one was that we had shipped a whole range of 7.0 beta versions before that day and I wanted to make it clear to everyone that this was a bump up from those. To avoid confusions. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Object_Oriented_Programming_in_R_(Part_4):_Reference_Classes_& R6_Classes⠀⇛ Up until this point, we had only discussed functional OOP systems in R. Today, we are going to learn about two encapsulated OOP systems available for R: 1. Reference Classes – introduced to R in 2010 in version 2.12.0 (source). Sometimes also referred to as R5 and RC. 2. R6 classes – OOP system available in the R6 package created in 2014. We will first define what we mean by functional and encapsulated OOP, followed by example usage of Reference Classes and R6 classes. Last but not least, we will go through example use cases of using R6 within the community. * ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ A_simple_86box_shell_script_menu⠀⇛ I love 86Box for emulating classic PC hardware, but it doesn’t come with a VM manager by default. Instead, the software will always boot the last VM configuration you set. Programs exist to give you a more VirtualBox-like experience, where you can select, configure, and boot a range of VMs. * ⚓ KDAB ☛ GammaRay_3.1⠀⇛ It’s been around 10 months since the last release, and we’re pleased to introduce GammaRay 3.1. GammaRay is a powerful tool for developers using Qt, providing deep inspection capabilities to help you understand and troubleshoot your applications. * ⚓ Medevel ☛ Boost_Your_Productivity_with_Git_Time_Metric_(GTM)⠀⇛ Git Time Metric (GTM) is an open-source tool designed to help developers and freelancers track the time spent on their coding projects directly within Git. GTM seamlessly integrates with your workflow, providing accurate time tracking without the need for manual entry. * ⚓ New_Feature!_-_Unified_Page_to_List_Requests_Across_OBS⠀⇛ We kicked off a new feature in OBS. The goal is to have a unified way of listing requests for all the different places like packages, projects and what is currently found under “Tasks”. We started this by porting some of the core functionality of the “Tasks” page to the new unified version with a couple of search and filter options. * ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Google_rolls_out_Flutter_3.24_with_upgraded_graphics performance_and_easier_Fashion_Company_Apple_deployment⠀⇛ Google LLC brought a number of new developments to its open- source Flutter user interface development framework today with Flutter 3.24, including a major boost to graphics performance. The company also rolled out Dart 3.5, a programming language created by Surveillance Giant Google to build mobile and web applications with C-syntax that is used with Flutter. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Redowan Delowar ☛ Log_context_propagation_in_Python_ASGI_apps⠀⇛ Let’s say you have a web app that emits log messages from different layers. Your log shipper collects and sends these messages to a destination like Datadog where you can query them. One common requirement is to tag the log messages with some common attributes, which you can use later to query them. In distributed tracing, this tagging is usually known as context propagation, where you’re attaching some contextual information to your log messages that you can use later for query purposes. However, if you have to collect the context at each layer of your application and pass it manually to the downstream ones, that’d make the whole logging process quite painful. o ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ help()_me_Obi-Wan_Kenobi,_you’re_my_only hope⠀⇛ Whether you are exploring Python, developing new features or debugging your code, the built-in help system is a great companion.

David: I started working on OpenShift (the Red Hat distribution of Kubernetes) in the fall of 2014 and got involved pretty quickly in API Machinery. My first PRs were fixing kube- apiserver error messages and from there I branched out to kubectl (kubeconfigs are my fault!), auth (RBAC and *Review APIs are ports from OpenShift), apps (workqueues and sharedinformers for example). Don’t tell the others, but API Machinery is still my favorite :) Federico: I was not as early in Kubernetes as David, but now it's been more than six years. At my previous company we were starting to use Kubernetes for our own products, and when I came across the opportunity to work directly with Kubernetes I left everything and boarded the ship (no pun intended).

However, recent works have shown that the reuse of IP addresses can allow adversaries to exploit the latent configurations left by previous tenants. In this work, we perform a comprehensive analysis of the effect of cloud IP address allocation on exploitation of latent configuration. We first develop a statistical model of cloud tenant behavior and latent configuration based on literature and deployed systems. Through these, we analyze IP allocation policies under existing and novel threat models. Our resulting framework, EIPSIM, simulates our models in representative public cloud scenarios, evaluating adversarial objectives against pool policies. In response to our stronger proposed threat model, we also propose IP scan segmentation, an IP allocation policy that protects the IP pool against adversarial scanning even when an adversary is not limited by number of cloud tenants. Our evaluation shows that IP scan segmentation reduces latent configuration exploitability by 97.1 % compared to policies proposed in literature and 99.8 % compared to those currently deployed by cloud providers. Finally, we evaluate our statistical assumptions by analyzing real allocation and configuration data, showing that results generalize to deployed cloud workloads. In this way, we show that principled analysis of cloud IP address allocation can lead to substantial security gains for tenants and their users. * ⚓ Alvaro Montoro ☛ CSS_One-Liners_to_Improve_(Almost)_Every_Project⠀⇛ Most of these one-liners will be one declaration inside the CSS rule.

Often what problems you can detect (and how soon) are limited by the telemetry you have available and the degree to which you can inspect and monitor the systems that you're rolling out to. If you're rolling out internally, this can possibly be quite high, but if you're rolling out to customers, you may have limited telemetry (partly because customers will object to your software constantly reporting things back to you, especially if you want to report lots of details) and no ability to reach out and inspect systems. A related issue is that when you build rollout telemetry and monitoring, you're probably basing the telemetry on what problems you expect. If your rollout triggers a problem that you didn't foresee, you may have no telemetry that would tell you about it. * ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ How_to_Open_Port_80_and_443_with_UFW⠀⇛ UFW, which stands for Uncomplicated Firewall, is a user- friendly tool for managing firewall rules on GNU/Linux systems.

It leverages a pre-built database, which is usually updated periodically by the updatedb command, to perform rapid searches, making it significantly faster than other search tools like find. When a user issues the locate command followed by a search pattern, it scans this database rather than the filesystem itself, providing results almost instantaneously. This makes locate particularly useful for system administrators and users who need to quickly locate files without the overhead of a live filesystem scan. However, the accuracy of locate depends on how frequently the database is updated, as it might not reflect the most recent changes in the filesystem until the next update. * § linuxcapable⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Snapd_and_Snap-Store_on_Debian_12, 11_or_10⠀⇛ o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_FreeCAD_on_Ubuntu_24.04,_22.04_or 20.04⠀⇛ * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Change_TimeZone_on_Linux_Mint_22⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to change TimeZone on Linux Mint 22.

During this time, they eavesdrop on email correspondence, explore the victim’s environment and identify mission-critical data suitable for exfiltrated. Once the crown jewels are identified and exfiltration is complete, attackers begin encrypting computers and ask for a ransom. * ⚓ The Record ☛ NHS_software_supplier_Advanced_faces_£6m_fine_over ransomware_attack_failings⠀⇛ The company hit by a ransomware attack that disrupted Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) back in August 2022 is facing a data protection fine of over £6 million ($7.6 million) for failing to protect the personal information of tens of thousands of people. Advanced, a company providing IT services to numerous healthcare providers in the United Kingdom, allowed hackers to steal “phone numbers and medical records” belonging to 82,946 people, according to the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). * ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ Microsoft_Hits_Back_at_Delta_After_the Airline_Said_Last_Month's_Tech_Outage_Cost_It_$500_Million⠀⇛ Delta CEO Ed Bastian said last week that the global technology outage that started with a faulty upgrade from CrowdStrike to machines running on Microsoft Windows cost the airline $500 million. Bastian raised the threat of legal action. On Tuesday, Delta said it has a long record of investing in reliable service including ”billions of dollars in IT capital expenditures” since 2016 and billions more in annual IT costs. It declined further comment. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Florida_firm_sued_over_theft_of_2.9B_personal records⠀⇛ California resident Christopher Hofmann filed the potential class-action complaint against Jerico Pictures, doing business as National Public Data, a Coral Springs-based firm that provides APIs so that companies can perform things like background checks on people and look up folks' criminal records. As such National Public Data holds a lot of highly personal information, which ended up being stolen in a cyberattack. According to the suit [PDF], filed in a southern Florida federal district court, Hofmann is one of the individuals whose sensitive information was pilfered by crooks and then put up for sale for $3.5 million on an underworld forum in April. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Sneaky_SnakeKeylogger_slithers_into_Windows_email inboxes⠀⇛ Criminals are preying on Windows users yet again, this time in an effort to hit them with a keylogger that can also steal credentials and take screenshots.

Once running on someone's PC, this malware records the victim's keystrokes as they log into things, fishes usernames and passwords out of their files, and takes screenshots to snoop on people, and then sends all that sensitive info to fraudsters. * ⚓ India Times ☛ CrowdStrike_is_sued_by_fliers_after_massive_outage disrupts_air_travel⠀⇛ In a proposed class action filed in the Austin, Texas, federal court, three fliers blamed CrowdStrike's negligence in testing and deploying its software for the outage, which also disrupted banks, hospitals and emergency lines around the world. The plaintiffs said that as fliers scrambled to get to their destinations, many spent hundreds of dollars on lodging, meals and alternative travel, while others missed work or suffered health problems from having to sleep on the airport floor. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ CrowdStrike_hits_back_at_Delta_over_litigation threat⠀⇛ That's according to a letter, seen by The Reg and sent to David Boies, partner at the law firm Delta hired to investigate the airline's legal options after it struggled more than most to bring its systems back online, leading to a sprawling list of flight cancellations. The Falcon vendor reiterated its apology to Delta and the wider customer base. It then went on to remind Boies, known for his work as special counsel during the 1990s US antitrust trial against Microsoft, that it had been proactive in reaching out to Delta, offering support to the airline "within hours" of the incident unfolding. * ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Intelligence_bill_would_elevate_ransomware_to_a terrorist_threat⠀⇛ When the Senate Intelligence Committee earlier this summer advanced its annual measure to authorize the work of the U.S. intelligence community, it also advanced a controversial proposal to deal with ransomware: treating it like terrorism. Sponsored by committee chairman Mark Warner (D-VA), the bill contains novel language regarding ransomware that seeks to address increasingly rampant and damaging ransomware attacks by calling out ransomware gangs by name and branding them as “hostile foreign cyber actors”; designating nations that harbor ransomware actors as “state sponsors of ransomware” and slapping such states with sanctions; and granting the US intelligence community greater legal authority to go after ransomware actors by elevating ransomware to the level of a national intelligence priority. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2444 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/08/07/Wlroots_Finally_Gets_Explicit_Sync_Integration.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/08/07/Wlroots_Finally_Gets_Explicit_Sync_Integration.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Wlroots Finally Gets Explicit Sync Integration⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 07, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Wlroots_Explicit_Sync⦈_ Quoting: Wlroots Finally Gets Explicit Sync Integration — The open-source project wlroots, a foundational library for building Wayland compositors, has finally integrated a significant update by merging the explicit-sync-ng branch into the master, thus bringing the much-needed explicit sync support to wlroots.
