from the community editions — Although it is partially based on Arch Linux, Artix is a rolling- release distro that comes with a different init system. In fact, there are quite a few choices in this department, namely dinit, runit, s6, and OpenRC. Initially offered with a base command-line version and one with the LXQt-based Calamares installer GUI, Artix later became available in LXDE, XFCE, MATE, Cinnamon and KDE Plasma 5 versions, as well as two unofficial community editions (GTK and Qt). However, this week's update drops the commmunity-lxqt and community- lxde editions. Labeled 20240819, the aforementioned update also comes with XFCE as the default desktop environment in the community-gtk version. While the community-gtk and community-qt only come with x86_64 ISOs with OpenRC, all the other stable releases which carry the same version number have the four init system choices mentioned earlier. These are all the editions available for download and their sizes...

By using a framework, a developer lets the framework control portions of their application. While it’s perfectly possible to code a web application without using a framework, it’s more practical to use one. F# (pronounced F sharp) is a general purpose, strongly typed, multi-paradigm programming language that encompasses functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming methods. F# was modeled on Objective Caml (OCaml), a successful object-oriented functional programming language, and then tweaked and extended to mesh well technically and philosophically with .NET. Here’s our verdict captured in a legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart. * ⚓ LXD_-_manage_virtual_machines_and_containers_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ LXD is a solution for managing virtual machines and system containers. It provides a secure and scalable environment with minimal overhead. Manage your workloads with ease and configure them to suit your use case via a user-friendly web interface. LXD allows you to easily set up a system that feels like a small private cloud. You can run any type of workload in an efficient way while keeping your resources optimized. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Felicity_-_idiomatic_JSON:API_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Felicity is a framework that allows you to expose your functional F# domain logic as an API following the JSON:API specification, with no boilerplate. This framework contains over 1,000 end-to-end tests checking success-path and error-path functionality of all operations.

Despite its proven success, the European Commission made the decision to cut this funding in the current draft for the Horizon Europe 2025 Work Programme. This decision highlights the larger problem of the lack of motivated and sustainable public funding for Free Software projects. * ⚓ Phrack ☛ Calling_All_Hackers⠀⇛ Based on what we've set up so far, I will discuss some of the problems I see with many startups today and with startup culture. Much of the problems stem from misalignment between shareholders and the other stakeholders (employees, etc). A lot of this comes from the fundamentals of venture capital. VC is itself an asset class, like fixed income and equities. VCs pitch this to their limited partners, at some level, based on the premise that their VC fund will generate yield for them. The strategy is to identify stuff that will become huge and buy it while it's still small and really cheap. Like trading shitcoins, it's about finding what's going to moon and getting in early. In a typical VC fund, a small handful of the investments will comprise the entire returns of the fund, with all of the other investments being 0's. The distribution is very power law. This means we are not looking for 1x, 2x, or 3x outcomes; these may even be seen as failure modes. We are only interested in 20x, 50x, 100x, etc. outcomes.

Implementations vary somewhat, but these often amount to a high-level desktop or application action coupled to a URI or mime-type. There examples of fancy URIs like sms:555-1234?body=on%20my%20way that can do intent-like things, but intents are higher-level, more purposeful and certainly not restricted to metadata shoehorned into a URI. I'm going to approach this like the_original_proposal by David Faure and the discussions that followed, by contrasting it with mime-types and then demonstrating what the files for some real- world use cases might look like. § The Landscape Let's start with the mime-apps_Specification. For desktop environments mime-types are, most of all, useful for associating content with applications that can consume it. Once you can do that, the very next thing you want is defaults and fallback priorities. Now can you double-click stuff to have your favourite application open it, or right-click to open it with another of your choice.

One option is to access their EFI panel and turn off secure boot. Depending on the security needs of the user, that option may not be acceptable. A better short-term option is to delete the SBAT Microsoft pushed out last Tuesday. This means users will still receive some of the benefits of Secure Boot even if they remain vulnerable to attacks that exploit CVE-2022-2601. * ⚓ Windows_aug._13_update_broke_my_Ubuntu_system!⠀⇛ Yesterday (aug. 13) I updated Windows 10 on my 8 year old MSI laptop.

The only way to resort this was to disable secure boot. Is there a way to fix this without reinstalling my Ubuntu system and enable secure boot? Note: Windows and Ubuntu are on separate SSD:s.

Instead, they received a cryptic error message that included the phrase: “Something has gone seriously wrong.” The cause: an update Microsoft issued as part of its monthly patch release. It was intended to close a 2-year-old vulnerability in GRUB, an open source boot loader used to start up many Linux devices. The vulnerability, with a severity rating of 8.6 out of 10, made it possible for hackers to bypass secure boot, the industry standard for ensuring that devices running Windows or other operating systems don’t load malicious firmware or software during the bootup process. CVE-2022-2601 was discovered in 2022, but for unclear reasons, Microsoft patched it only last Tuesday. [...] The incident is the latest to underscore what a mess Secure Boot has become, or possibly always was.

While there already is a Haiku port, it currently does not support any acceleration system through native virtualization (through defective chip maker Intel VT- x and AMD SVM.) This makes it too slow for many uses. This project aimed to bring hardware virtualization to Haiku by porting NVMM, a hypervisor that already has QEMU support, into Haiku from DragonFlyBSD. The project goals (as included on the proposal) were: § Project goals * ⚓ [GSoC_2024]_Improving_the_Userland_Debugging_Experience_-_Final Report⠀⇛ A part of Google Summer of Code 2024, this project aimed to improve the userland debugging experience for Haiku app developers, boosting the process of building and porting complex applications. The first objective was to have a working build of a modern version of GDB running on Haiku x86_64 - the most popular architecture with stable Haiku. Using some ideas from the incomplete recipe for GDB 8.1, I have ported GDB 15.1 to Haiku from the ground up. * ⚓ [GSoC_2024]_Porting_WebKit2_Final_Report⠀⇛ The goal of this document is to be an overview of everything I did during GSoC. It should be readable even if you haven’t read any of the previous blog posts and don’t know much about Haiku or WebKit (I hope I succeeded!). First, some background. Haiku’s native browser is WebPositive. WebPositive’s code mostly deals with the user interface. It uses our fork of WebKit, HaikuWebKit, to actually render the web pages, run JavaScript, process input, and so on. WebKit (and, by extension, HaikuWebKit) provides two API versions: WebKitLegacy, and WebKit (aka WebKit2). Unfortunately, we are still stuck using WebKitLegacy even though WebKit2 has been out for more than a decade. The biggest immediate advantage of switching to WebKit2 is crash resistance. It manages this by splitting the browser into several processes. Each web page runs inside of a dedicated WebProcess. If a WebProcess crashes, all of the rest of the WebProcesses should still be fine and the browser should keep running. The NetworkProcess deals with networking. Finally, the browser’s process deals with the UI. Another advantage of switching to WebKit2 is, as far as I know, its API is more up- to-date and will allow us to do more things than WebKitLegacy did. Rajagopalan worked on porting WebKit 2 to Haiku for GSoC 2019 (if you’re interested in that project, here is the final report, the PRs, and the commits). Unfortunately, as the years have passed, the solution has bit-rotted. My GSoC project for 2024 was to continue with the work on WebKit2. My first and longest task would be to get it back to a working state. I made it a goal to make the port easier to maintain so that it hopefully doesn’t bit-rot again. One final thing to know: rather than testing our implementation of WebKit2 with WebPositive, there is a very simple browser called MiniBrowser that we use that was made specifically for this purpose. Most likely, WebPositive would require several Hey Hi (AI) that are currently not implemented. The advantage of using MiniBrowser is that it only requires a minimal set of Hey Hi (AI) and the code for it is small enough that it can easily be updated if the API is changed. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 959 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/08/21/Kakip_An_Upcoming_Credit_Card_Sized_Single_Board_Computer_with_.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/08/21/Kakip_An_Upcoming_Credit_Card_Sized_Single_Board_Computer_with_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Kakip: An Upcoming Credit-Card Sized Single Board Computer with Renesas RZ/V2H Chip & Multi-Camera Support⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 21, 2024 Quoting: Kakip: An Upcoming Credit-Card Sized Single Board Computer with Renesas RZ/V2H Chip & Multi-Camera Support Kakip: An Upcoming Credit-Card Sized Single Board Computer with Renesas RZ/V2H Chip & Multi-Camera Support — The board supports up to four cameras through MIPI-CSI2 interfaces and includes a MIPI-DSI port for display purposes, alongside a PCIe 3.0 x1 slot to enhance its expansion capabilities.

While it is a mid-tier framework and could be used by outside projects, it mostly doesn’t make sense to, because some behavior is very KDE-specific. It installs POSIX signal handlers to intercept crash signals and then prepares the crashed process for handover to coredumpd and DrKonqi. More on these two in another post. Once prepared it sends the crash signal into the next higher level crash handler until the signal eventually reaches the default handler and cause the kernel to invoke the core pattern. Before that can happen, a bunch of work needs doing inside KCrash. Most of it quite boring, but also somewhat challenging. You see, when handling a signal you need to only use signal-safe functions. The manpage explains very well why. This proves quite challenging at the level we usually are at (i.e. Qt) because it is entirely unclear what is and isn’t ultimately signal-safe under the hood. Additionally, since we are dealing with crash scenarios, we must not trigger new memory allocation, because the heap management may have had an accident.

Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 21, 2024 * ⚓ Simon Willison ☛ SQL_injection-like_attack_on_LLMs_with_special tokens⠀⇛ LLMs generally reserve special token integer identifiers for these, which means that it should be possible to avoid this scenario by encoding the special token as that ID (for example 32001 for <|assistant|> in the Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct vocabulary) while that same sequence of characters in untrusted text is encoded as a longer sequence of smaller tokens. * ⚓ Phil Eaton ☛ What's_the_big_deal_about_Deterministic_Simulation Testing?⠀⇛ But what if we could write our code in a way that we can isolate the chaotic aspects of our distributed system during testing: run multiple systems communicating with each other on a single thread and control all randomness in each system? And property test this single-threaded version of the distributed system with controlled randomness, all the while injecting faults (fancy term for unhappy path behavior like errors and latency) we might see in the real-world? * ⚓ Rlang ☛ grep()_vs._grepl()_in_R⠀⇛ Hey there, useR’s! Today, we’re going to talk about two super useful functions in R: grep() and grepl(). These functions might sound similar, but they have some key differences that are important to understand. Let’s break it down in a way that’s easy to grasp, even if you’re new to R programming. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ It's_not_simple_to_add_function_keyword arguments_to_Go⠀⇛ I recently read An unordered list of things I miss in Go (via). One of those things is 'keyword and default arguments for functions', which in the article was not labeled as requiring a major revision to the language. In one sense this is true, but in another sense it's not, because adding keyword arguments to any compiled language raises ABI questions. This is especially the case in Go, which is generally supposed to be a low- overhead language in terms of how things are stored in memory and passed around in function calls (and Go went through an ABI change not too long ago to enable passing function arguments in registers instead of on the stack). * ⚓ [Old] Facundo Olano ☛ Code_is_run_more_than_read⠀⇛ There’s a lot of software being produced that just doesn’t care about its users, or that manipulates them, or that turns them into the product. And this isn’t limited to social media: as a user, I can’t even book a room, order food, or click on the Windows start button without popups trying to grab my attention; I can’t make a Google search without getting back a pile of garbage. There’s a mismatch between what we thought doing a good job was and what a significant part of the industry considers profitable, and I think that explains the increasing discomfort of many software professionals. And while we can’t just go back to ignoring the economic realities of our discipline, perhaps we should take a stronger ethical stand not to harm users. Acknowledging that the user may not always come before the business, but that the business shouldn’t unconditionally come first, either: * ⚓ Jon Udell ☛ Building_a_Steampipe_Plugin_—_and_Powerpipe_Dashboards_— for_WordPress⠀⇛ “Users of the WordPress API may enjoy the abstraction — and standardization — that a SQL interface provides.

It arrived on CRAN yesterday following the resumption of normal service following the CRAN summer break. RcppMagicEnum brings the magicenum library by Daniil Goncharov to R. Modern C++ is powerful, but still lacks reflection. This may change with C++26 but until then this library can help. A simple example, also shown on the README is as follows (and can be called from R via Rcpp::sourceCpp() if the RcppMagicEnum package is installed): * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ uv_0.3.0_released⠀⇛ Version_0.3.0 of the uv Python package and project manager has been released. Introduced in February, uv is written in Rust and aims to be "Cargo for Python". Notable changes in this release include the addition of interfaces for managing_projects, installing_Python, and running_scripts, along with adding new_documentation. See the accompanying blog_post for more information. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Some_brief_notes_on_'numfmt'_from_GNU Coreutils⠀⇛ Many years ago I learned about numfmt (also) from GNU Coreutils (see the comments on this entry and then this entry). An additional source of information is Pádraig Brady's numfmt - A number reformatting utility. Today I was faced with a situation where I wanted to compute and print multi-day, cumulative Amanda dump total sizes for filesystems in a readable way, and the range went from under a GByte to several TBytes, so I didn't want to just convert everything to TBytes (or GBytes) and be done with it. I was doing the summing up in awk and briefly considered doing this 'humanization' in awk (again, I've done it before) before I remembered numfmt and decided to give it a try. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ Futurism ☛ There's_a_Problem_With_Rescuing_the_Stranded Astronauts:_SpaceX_and_Boeing_Spacesuits_Aren't_Compatible⠀⇛ While NASA and Boeing maintain that Starliner is ready to take the two crew members down to the surface in the case of an emergency — despite the possibility of several thrusters malfunctioning — even alternative rideshare options could expose Williams and Wilmore to considerable risks. For one, Starliner's spacesuits aren't compatible with those used on board SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft. That means if the pair were to return on board the SpaceX capsule currently docked to the station, which is one rescue plan under consideration by NASA, they'd be flying without wearing a suit, as NASA confirmed during a teleconference call last week — an unfortunate reality for the space agency that will likely factor into its upcoming decision. o ⚓ APNIC ☛ The_threat_of_deprecated_BGP_attributes⠀⇛ The Software Engineering Institute (SEI) CERT Division collects BGP data, so we examined the last two years of data to find out what deprecated attributes are still announced. To do so, we used the list of deprecated attributes published by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1809 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/08/21/Puppy_Linux_successor_EasyOS_gets_updated_to_version_6_2.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/08/21/Puppy_Linux_successor_EasyOS_gets_updated_to_version_6_2.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Puppy Linux successor EasyOS gets updated to version 6.2⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 21, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇EasyOS_6_desktop⦈_ Quoting: Puppy Linux successor EasyOS gets updated to version 6.2 — Originally developed by Barry Kauler, Puppy Linux made its debut in June 2003 and is still around.

Here's how | ZDNET — My friend recently wanted to bring an old laptop back to life. Her aging Intel MacBook was no longer supported by Apple, and instead of letting the machine wind up in a landfill somewhere, she decided to install Linux, an OS she'd never used before. She started her quest with Linux Mint, which is always a good place to start. Unfortunately, the installation failed for her (mostly because of the doggedly slow nature of the machine), so she reached out. Given her hardware, there was only one logical suggestion to make - - Linux Lite. This installation went well for her, except the keyboard layout was automatically selected incorrectly. Fortunately, that was an easy fix. After this experience, I realized I hadn't reviewed Linux Lite in a while, and it was time to rectify that. So, I downloaded the ISO, spun up a virtual machine, and in less than five minutes logged into the desktop.

For example, Debian_simultaneously_maintains multiple_releases_(branches). The “stable” branch is recommended for production use, “testing” for more recent software versions. Every two years or so, the branches “shift” (i.e. the previous “testing” becomes the new “stable”, and so on) and users are asked to upgrade to the next release. Fedora_releases aren’t really branched like Debian. Instead, they make a new release (with potentially major changes for an upgrade) every half a year, and maintain old releases for 13 months. You generally start with the newest release, and periodically upgrade. Arch_Linux follows a rolling release model instead. There is just one branch that all Arch users use, and releases are made periodically only for the purpose of installation media. Major upgrades are done in-place (and I have to say, they don’t always go well). Now, Gentoo is something of a hybrid, as it combines the best of both worlds. It is a rolling release distribution with a single shared repository that is available to all users. However, within this repository we use a keywording system to provide a choice between stable and testing packages, to facilitate both production and development systems (with some extra flexibility), and versioned profiles to tackle major lock-step upgrades. * § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ o ⚓ Adriaan de Groot ☛ Message-passing_Hey_Hi_(AI)_(SIMPL)⠀⇛ In the KDE world, famously there was that weekend where DCOP (Desktop Communicating Objects Protocol) was created, setting the stage for things like KParts. GNOME picked the CORBA object model, and much later the Free Desktop world settled on DBus as a message-passing Hey Hi (AI) But even at the time, there were other message- passing APIs. At work-work I use one, called SIMPL, which is kind of shout-out to the late ’90s of DCOP. Please note that my presentation of “history” is just what I remember now of events that were already “tales told ‘round the campfire” 15 years ago.

First, how does this distro set itself apart from all the other Debian-based distributions? Second, is this a good enough distribution to help lure Windows users to Linux? Most often, a distribution will differentiate itself by a combination of desktop customizations and pre-installed software titles. Those changes depend on the developer's goals, of course. With RefreshOS, it's all about user-friendliness, speed, and elegance, which explains why the team chose to combine Debian (one of the most stable operating systems) with Plasma Desktop (one of the most familiar and elegant desktops available). The one-two combination of Debian and Plasma is almost always a sure sign that, no matter how deeply the team has customized the desktop, the distribution will most likely work well for all types of users.

The impact was severe, disrupting critical infrastructure globally, from grounded flights to halted public transit systems. In fact, you’d have to have been living under a rock to have missed this incident. While this Windows-related incident dominated the headlines, however, a less publicized, but critical, issue was brewing on Linux. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2777 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/08/21/Windows_TCO_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/08/21/Windows_TCO_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Windows TCO Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 21, 2024 * ⚓ National_Public_Data’s_Collection_Suddenly_Very_Public⠀⇛ This is not the first time a huge amount of compromised data has been traced back to some legitimate but nevertheless scummy broker. There was Exactis with 340 million records, People Data Labs with 622 million, and Apollo with around 200 million. The only reason most of us have heard of these businesses is because they hoard our information and — critically — do not protect it.

Of the 53 ransomware groups whose leak sites we monitored, six of the groups accounted for more than half of the compromises observed. In February, we reported a 49% increase year-over-year in alleged victims posted on ransomware leak sites. So far, in 2024, comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2024, we see an even further increase of 4.3%. The higher level of activity observed in 2023 was no fluke. * ⚓ Bypass_Paywalls_Clean_Shut_Down_For_DMCA_Anti-Circumvention Violations⠀⇛ Bypass Paywalls Clean, a popular browser extension that allows users to view subscription websites without a subscription, has been shut down along with 3,879 forks.
