With that power comes great information that can help you troubleshoot issues or simply see how much RAM or storage is being used. Over the years, I've come to depend on these tools, which are built into most Linux distributions and are fairly easy to use. Before I dive into these commands, know that you might never use them. In fact, with today's GUI desktops, the goal should be to no longer have to depend on the command line. Of course, if you're working with a server, that's a different story. But as far as the desktop is concerned, you'll be glad you know them if the occasion ever arises. With that said, let's jump to the commands. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 132 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/09/20/Android_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/09/20/Android_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Android Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 20, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Tinker_Board_3⦈_ * ⚓ ASUS_Tinker_Board_3_-_A_credit-card_sized_Rockchip_RK3566_SBC_with_12V to_19V_DC_input_-_CNX_Software⠀⇛ * ⚓ Check_out_incident_reports_working_on_Android_Auto⠀⇛ * ⚓ Here's_how_Google_Maps_incident_reports_will_work_on_Android_Auto⠀⇛ * ⚓ My_5_favorite_Android_video_players_should_be_more_popular⠀⇛ * ⚓ Google_Calendar_for_Android_finally_lets_you_add_birthdays_manually⠀⇛ * ⚓ Google_Calendar_for_Android_will_let_you_manually_add_birthdays ⠀⇛ * ⚓ Which_Samsung_phones_are_expected_to_get_the_Android_15_update?⠀⇛ * ⚓ Leak_reveals_Android_15_release_date_for_Google_Pixel_6,_Pixel_7,_Pixel 8_and_Pixel_9_smartphones⠀⇛ * ⚓ Android_Auto_adds_NACS_charger_support_for_EVs⠀⇛ * ⚓ How_to_Turn_On_an_Android_Phone_Without_the_Power_Button⠀⇛ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠋⠉⠉⠛⠙⠛⠿⡏⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠘⡇⢿⢹⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢷⣦⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠈⠃⢻⠸⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣫⠘⢍⢻⣙⣿⣿⣶⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠙⠙⡿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣕⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠘⢿⣿⢻⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠫⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠈⠃⢻⢹⡟⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠹⠘⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠉⠀⡁⠀⠀⠀⢀⡷⠲⣆⠀⠈⠙⠻⢿⣽⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣷⣦⣄⡀⠙⠛⠉⠈⠐⠂⠀⠀⠈⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡠⠠⡒⢀⠀⠀⠔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠸⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣶⣭⣿⣂⠈⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠓⢢⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠂⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠿⣿⣟⣻⣦⡙⠻⠁⣠⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⢀⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣼⣿⣿⣶⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠛⠓⠀⣰⢏⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣄⠁⣏⠁⠈⡛⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠒⠶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡶⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡾⢱⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣴⡆⣼⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⣠⠾⢿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⡩⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠭⢟⣧⠙⠻⢲⠀⡚⢠⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣷⣮⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣄⣠⠺⠫⠀⠀⠈⠙⠻⢿⣿⣟⡷⢮⡟⢶⣾⠟⠠⡌⣀⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣀⠀⠉⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣢⡿⠋⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠠⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠻⢿⣿⡤⠀⣠⡴⢳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣌⡀⠉⢛⠿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣨⠛⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⠀⠀⡘⢁⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⠙⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⣥⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣷⡜⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠒⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣄⡀⠈⠛⠁⠈⠙⠃⣿⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⡀⠀⠀⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⡀⠀⠈⠙⠻⠿⣿⣷⣺⣿⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⡀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 213 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/09/20/Another_Example_of_Microsoft_Hates_Linux_and_Winners_Of_The_202.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/09/20/Another_Example_of_Microsoft_Hates_Linux_and_Winners_Of_The_202.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Another Example of "Microsoft Hates Linux" and Winners Of The 2024 Tiny Games Contest⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 20, 2024 * ⚓ Notebook Check ☛ GTA_V_Online's_new_kernel_anti-cheat_rug-pull unnecessarily_breaks_Steam_Deck_and_Linux_compatibility [Ed: Microsoft hates Linux / Microsoft hates Linux]⠀⇛ A whole nine years after launch, Rockstar Games seems to want to crack down on cheaters in GTA V, announcing that it has implemented BattleEye kernel anti-cheat for online play. GTA Online is no longer compatible with Linux or the Steam Deck, locking Linux gamers to single-player mode exclusively. This is despite multiple BattleEye games verified to run on Steam Deck via Proton. Anyone who's played GTA Online will know that the game has a bit of a cheater problem, and Rockstar Games seems to want to address that, with the company adding BattleEye anti-cheat via a recent GTA V update. While this is likely good news for some devout GTA Online players, it's caused a bit of a stir in the Steam Deck and Linux gaming community, because the addition of kernel-level anti-cheat means that GTA Online is no longer compatible with Linux or the Steam Deck. * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Wasted!_Linux_Players_Barred_from_GTA_V_Online_Play⠀⇛ Gaming on Linux has been progressing rather well these past few years, with many single-player games for Windows being compatible with Linux-based operating systems thanks to compatibility layers like Wine and Proton. There are many supported multiplayer games too, but the ones with anti-cheat usually outright ban players for the transgression of using any other operating system than Windows. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Meet_The_Winners_Of_The_2024_Tiny_Games_Contest⠀⇛ Over the years, we’ve figured out some pretty sure-fire ways to get hackers and makers motivated for contests. One of the best ways is to put arbitrary limits on different aspects of the project, such as how large it can be or how much power it can consume. Don’t believe us? Then just take a look at the entries of this year’s Tiny Games Contest. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 279 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/09/20/Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Software_howtos_and_Installations.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/09/20/Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Software_howtos_and_Installations.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Best Free and Open Source Software, howtos and Installations⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 20, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇coding⦈_ * ⚓ 5_Best_Free_and_Open_Source_JavaScript_Object-Relational_Mapping Software_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ In essence, ORM is a design pattern for converting (wrapping) that data stored within a relational database into an object that can be used within an object oriented language. It creates a layer between the language and the database, helping programmers work with data without the OOP paradigm. Compared to traditional techniques of exchange between an object-oriented language and a relational database, ORM often reduces the amount of code that needs to be written. It standardizes interfaces reducing boilerplate and speeding development time. Advocates of ORMs claim they increase productivity, improve application design, reuse code and maintain the application over time. On the other hand, ORM suffers the disadvantage of the abstraction obscuring what’s happening in the code. And over-use of ORM software can produce poorly designed databases. There are a fairly wide range of ORM software available. Here’s our recommendations summarized in a legendary ratings chart. * ⚓ Mahotas_-_library_of_fast_computer_vision_algorithms_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Mahotas is a library of fast computer vision algorithms (all implemented in C++ for speed) operating over NumPy arrays. It includes many algorithms implemented in C++ for speed while operating in numpy arrays and with a very clean Python interface. Mahotas currently has over 100 functions for image processing and computer vision and it keeps growing. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Typeracer_-_typing_testing_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Typeracer is a terminal typing game. Race to see the fastest time you can get. Typeracer gives you a random passage and you type it out. As you type the software tells you where you’re making errors and give you a set of words per minute. Typeracer natively supports reading almost all languages. If the language does not blend wide and thin character charsets it should work as expected without a hitch. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Navita_-_rapid_directory_traversal_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Navita is a Bash/Zsh utility for rapid directory traversal, employing fuzzy matching, history tracking, and path validation for efficient file system navigation. Navita aims to simplify your command-line experience. The powerful Bash tool uses fuzzy search to get you to your destination in seconds. The software uses fzf, grep, bc, find, less and the Core utilities. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ KGpg_-_simple_interface_for_GnuPG_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ KGpg is a simple interface for GnuPG, a powerful encryption utility. It can help you set up and manage your keys, import and export keys, view key signatures, trust status and expiry dates. With KGpg, you don’t need to remember gpg’s command lines and options. Almost everything can be done with a few mouse clicks. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ SimpleITK_-_image_analysis_toolkit_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ SimpleITK is an image analysis toolkit with a large number of components supporting general filtering operations, image segmentation and registration. It is built on top of the Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit ITK with the intent of providing a simplified interface to ITK. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Flyweight_-_ORM_for_SQLite_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Object–relational mapping (ORM) is a programming technique for converting data between incompatible type systems using object- oriented programming languages. This creates, in effect, a “virtual object database” that can be used from within the programming language. In essence, ORM is a design pattern for converting (wrapping) that data stored within a relational database into an object that can be used within an object oriented language. It creates a layer between the language and the database, helping programmers work with data without the OOP paradigm. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ GpgFrontend_-_GUI_frontend_for_GnuPG_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ GnuPG stands for GNU Privacy Guard and is a tool for secure communication and data storage. The software has two main uses. The first is to encrypt data to ensure its privacy. The second is to “sign” data so that others can determine it is authentic and unmodified. GnuPG is a superb tool though it’s a command line affair. If you’re looking for a GUI frontend for GnuPG, step forward GpgFrontend. This is a Qt-based free, open-source, robust yet user-friendly, compact and cross-platform tool for OpenPGP encryption. It lets you decrypt and sign text or files. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠻⢿⣿⡟⣛⣛⠛⠛⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⠿⠻⢿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⡟⠟⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢿⣿⠻⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣏⣏⣟⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⠐⠬⠬⠆⢸⣿⡇⡀⣀⠀⠀⣿⣿⢰⡷⠀⠴⣶⣿⣿⣿⠻⠝⣿⣿⣿⡧⢟⡀⡤⣀⣾⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⠸⡁⢌⢭⣶⣿⣿⢀⣀⣘⠋⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣐⡒⠂⢒⣂⣿⣿⣄⠂⠀⠂⣠⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⣀⣿⣿⡇⠤⠤⠀⠀⣿⣿⢸⣇⠃⣡⡿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⡏⠂⠀⠐⢛⢻⣿⡇⠌⠤⠌⠩⣽⣿⠐⠀⠀⠚⡓⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠈⢱⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣒⣺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⣟⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣻⣿⣿⣿⣶⣲⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻⣟⣿⣿⣿⣷⣒⣲⣾⣻⣿⣿⣛⣻⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣟⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣻⣟⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣘⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣃⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣃⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣘⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣘⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣃⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣋⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠉⠉⠛⢿⠟⠋⠉⠉⠛⢿⡿⠋⠉⠉⠛⢿⣿⠋⠙⡿⠉⠙⢿⣿⠋⠙⣿⠟⠋⠉⠉⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⢠⣶⣶⣶⡇⠀⢰⣶⣶⠀⠈⡇⠀⢰⣶⡄⠀⢹⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠈⢿⠀⠀⡏⠀⢠⡶⠶⠶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠘⢿⣿⠿⡇⠀⠹⣿⡿⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⣿⠇⠀⣸⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⣄⠀⠀⠀⣇⠀⠸⣦⡄⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣀⣀⣀⣀⣾⣦⣀⣀⣀⣠⣾⣧⣀⣀⣀⣀⣴⣿⣀⣀⣧⣀⣸⣿⣆⣀⣠⣿⣦⣀⣀⣀⣀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⢹⣿⣿⣿⡏⣉⠉⡉⣽⣿⡏⢉⠉⢉⠉⢙⣿⣿⠟⣩⣽⣽⣿⣿⡯⠉⠉⠉⠉⣿⣿⢉⠉⠉⠉⠉⣿⡟⣍⠙⠻⢿⢿⣿⣟⠛⠛⠿⢛⣿⣿⠩⣭⡭⠉⠉⣿⣿⠩⠛⡛⠫⢙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠰⠀⠹⣿⣿⠰⠀⠀⠐⠈⣿⡇⠉⠉⠀⠛⢾⣿⣿⢸⢻⡏⣿⣿⣿⠱⠠⠴⠀⠦⣿⣿⡟⠃⠀⠘⡇⣿⡗⡇⠀⠀⡆⣺⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⢦⠈⣒⣀⡀⣿⣿⠁⠓⠐⠃⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣃⣀⣃⣀⣂⣿⣿⣧⣄⣀⣠⣾⣿⣇⣑⣾⣄⣠⣸⣿⣿⠈⠉⠉⢉⣿⣿⣧⣄⡀⣀⣼⣿⣿⣃⣒⣄⣓⣅⣿⣧⣷⡀⠀⣰⣼⣿⣧⣤⣀⣀⠀⣺⣿⣠⣴⣔⣂⣀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢀⣨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣯⣯⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣭⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣭⣭⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣽⣽⣿⣿⣿⣭⣭⣽⣭⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣽⣽⣿⣿⣿⣭⣯⣭⣽⣿⣿⣭⣭⣿⣽⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 475 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/09/20/Canonical_as_Pusher_of_Proprietary_Software_Using_Its_Proprieta.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/09/20/Canonical_as_Pusher_of_Proprietary_Software_Using_Its_Proprieta.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Canonical as Pusher of Proprietary Software, Using Its Proprietary (a Proprietary Back End) Blob Distribution Platform⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 20, 2024 * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Vivaldi_Web_Browser_is_Now_Available_as_a_Snap [Ed: Proprietary software as carrier of spying, carried by Canonical's snap]⠀⇛ This closed-source, Chromium-based web browser has been available on Linux since its debut in 2015, providing an official DEB package for Ubuntu users (which adds an APT repo for ongoing updates). * ⚓ XDA ☛ Installing_Vivaldi_on_Linux_just_got_a_lot_easier⠀⇛ With so many excellent Linux distributions out there, it's only natural that the community banded together to find a way to make installing apps across all of these distros a lot easier. Snap packages (or just "Snaps") are designed to run on as many distros as possible; just run them and you're good to go. We've seen companies adopt the Snap format for their apps over time, and now, Vivaldi has become the newest app to make the jump. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Vivaldi_Is_Now_Available_as_a_Snap_on_Linux⠀⇛ Vivaldi announced it is now officially available as a Snap package for Linux users. This offers a simplified installation across a multitude of Linux distributions, and if you don't like Snap packages, you can just ignore it. Snap packages are designed to make security and app distribution across many different Linux desktop and server more seamless. The benefits of using Vivaldi from Snap are seamless updates and cross-distribution compatibility. Vivaldi for Snap keeps all the hallmarks of the browser, including its customization options, tab management, built-in tracker blocker, and integrated services like Vivaldi Mail and Calendar. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 534 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/09/20/Distributions_and_Operating_Systems_Many_GNU_Linux_Distros_List.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/09/20/Distributions_and_Operating_Systems_Many_GNU_Linux_Distros_List.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Distributions and Operating Systems: Many GNU/Linux Distros Listed⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 20, 2024 * ⚓ 4_Best_Lightweight_GNU/Linux_Distros_to_install_on_USB_Drive_for Portable_OS⠀⇛ If you are worried about data and privacy while using a computer that is not yours, then carrying a portable GNU/Linux Distro on a USB drive would be a great idea [...] * ⚓ 5_Best_free_&_Open_source_GNU/Linux_Server_Distributions⠀⇛ Linux is an open-source software platform developed initially for home computers but later became a dominant Server operating system. * ⚓ 5_Best_GNU/Linux_Distros_to_use_on_Home_PC_&_laptop_to_look_in_2024⠀⇛ Make the best GNU/Linux distribution a part of your home PC or laptop computer to enhance your privacy and security * ⚓ 5_Best_GNU/Linux_Distros_for_Beginners_to_use_on_laptop_or_PC⠀⇛ Do you want to switch from backdoored Windows 10/7 or macOS but are looking for some of the best beginners’ GNU/Linux distros to install on your laptop or PC? * ⚓ 9_Best_Arch_Based_Distros_with_GUI⠀⇛ If you are already familiar with GNU/Linux working and want to brush up your skills further, try out Arch Linux. * ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Guix_works_with_EasyOS⠀⇛ This is extremely interesting! What originally motivated me to consider Guix was a forum post by member Stogie: ...see my reply, that there are ways to install more applications, such as AppImages, Flatpaks and another OS running in a container. Each of those, though, has issues. It got me wondering about distro-independent package managers. These are package managers that can install in any GNU/Linux distribution. They have a large package repository and install packages with all dependencies separate from the host system. Yes, that is similar to AppImages, Flatpaks and another OS in a container. * ⚓ Top_Linux_Distros_for_Chromebooks⠀⇛ Your old, reliable Chromebook has finally reached its end of life (EOL) and will no longer receive updates. Instead of breaking the bank and purchasing a fancy new Chromebook, you can still use your dusty Chromebook by installing Linux on it. While installing Linux on your Chromebook may extend the device's life, it is by no means optimal. Linux may or may not function as desired.

Linus Torvalds blessed the code while he was at Open Source Summit Europe. Why is this a big deal? Let's start by explaining what a real-time operating system (RTOS) is and what it's good for. * ⚓ Dev Class ☛ RustConf_speakers_affirm_Rust_for_Linux_project_despite challenges_of_unstable_Rust,_maintainer_resignation [Ed: Microsoft operative Tim Anderson helps Microsoft_employees_seed_discord_inside Linux_through_Rust, which is hosted on Microsoft platforms]⠀⇛ At RustConf in Montreal last week, Miguel Ojeda, a lead maintainer for the Rust for Linux project, described the resignation of fellow maintainer Wedson Almeida Filho as a “darkest before the dawn” moment for the project, which aims to make Rust a second main programming language for the Linux kernel alongside C. Update Torvalds on Rust: * ⚓ Torvalds_weighs_in_on_'nasty'_Rust_vs_C_for_Linux_debate⠀⇛ "C is, in the end, a very simple language. It's one of the reasons I enjoy C and why a lot of C programmers enjoy C, even if the other side of that picture is obviously that because it's simple it's also very easy to make mistakes," he argued. Also here: * ⚓ Linux_is_becoming_a_Real-Time_Operating_System:_what_does_it_mean?⠀⇛ For the first time, Real Time Linux (RTLinux) is completely hidden in the kernel. At this week’s Open Source Summit Europe, the implementation was endorsed by Linux founder Linus Torvalds. Why is this relevant? And what can users do with it? A Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) is very important for mission-critical workloads. However, the nomenclature is somewhat confusing. The timeliness of an RTOS is crucial because it guarantees that some tasks will be executed at all times, regardless of what the OS does. In other words: Normally, an OS completes tasks sequentially, with interrupts affecting the precise order. For example, a hardware driver may interrupt the normal flow of an application, which can cause mistimed responses. An RTOS prevents this from happening. * ⚓ Real-time_Linux_is_officially_part_of_the_kernel_after_decades_of debate⠀⇛ As is so often the case, a notable change in an upcoming Linux kernel is both historic and no big deal. If you wanted to use "Real-Time Linux" for your audio gear, your industrial welding laser, or your Mars rover, you have had that option for a long time (presuming you didn't want to use QNX or other alternatives). Universities started making their own real-time kernels in the late 1990s. A patch set, PREEMPT_RT, has existed since at least 2005. And some aspects of the real-time work, like NO_HZ, were long ago moved into the mainline kernel, enabling its use in data centers, cloud computing, or anything with a lot of CPUs. But officialness still matters, and in the 6.12 kernel, PREEMPT_RT will likely be merged into the mainline. As noted by Steven Vaughan-Nichols at ZDNet, the final sign-off by Linus Torvalds occurred while he was attending Open Source Summit Europe. Torvalds wrote the original code for printk, a debugging tool that can pinpoint exact moments where a process crashes, but also introduces latency that runs counter to real- time computing. The Phoronix blog has tracked the progress of PREEMPT_RT into the kernel, along with the printk changes that allowed for threaded/atomic console support crucial to real- time mainlining.

In addition to the ScatterPlot provided with the developer_preview_release in July, you can now make use of a Gantt chart to explore trace details. This is a great enhancement, as we are driven by the mission to provide Red_Hat_OpenShift users with an "observability as one" experience (see Figure 1), allowing you to easily analyze metrics, alerts, logs, network traffic, and now traces under one console.  * ⚓ YouTube ☛ Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_AI_Overview [Ed: Red Hat is pushing nonsense and buzzwords; it has become pathetic]⠀⇛ * ⚓ The Stack ☛ How_the_Oscar-winning_VFX_giant_DNEG_streamlined_its_DevOps processes [Ed: Red Hat ads disguised as 'articles']⠀⇛ London-headquartered VFX firm DNEG may have won seven Oscars, but that scale of success hasn't spared it from the challenges of legacy software, asset tracking, and platform shifting. In a conversation with The Stack, Victoria Adeyeri, Software Developer at DNEG discussed the biggest challenges to their pipeline – and fixes that worked.

This enhancement was described in What's_new_in_Network_Observability_1.6 article, providing a quick overview of the feature. Until this release, Loki was required to be deployed alongside Network Observability to store the network flows data.  In this article, let's look at some of the advantages and trade-offs users would have when deploying the Network Observability Operator with Loki disabled. As more metrics are enabled by default with this feature, we'll also demonstrate a use case on how those metrics can benefit users for real world scenarios. ✐ Configure Network Observability without Loki⠀✐ Loki as datasource is currently enabled by default. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_forward_OpenShift_logs_to_Microsoft_trap_Azure_Monitor [Ed: redhat.com pushing Microsoft]⠀⇛ The logging_for_Red_Bait_OpenShift_5.9 release introduced support for forwarding logs to Microsoft trap Azure Monitor using Vector. By supporting this functionality, Red_Hat OpenShift users are able to seamlessly integrate their cluster infra services and application logs with Microsoft trap Azure Monitor Logs, leveraging its powerful analytics and monitoring capabilities. This integration empowers users to streamline their monitoring and troubleshooting processes, leading to better operational insights, faster issue resolution, and improved overall performance of their cluster services and applications. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Observability_signal_correlation_for_Red_Bait_OpenShift: Technology_preview⠀⇛ Observability_signal_correlation_for_Red_Bait_OpenShift has now been released as a technology preview and is available as part of the latest Cluster_Observability_Operator 0.4.0 release.

This guide assumes that your system is using systemd-boot as the bootloader, which is explained in the post linked below. * Install_Debian_from_grml-liveboot A unified kernel image (UKI) is a single executable that can be booted directly from UEFI firmware or automatically sourced by bootloaders with little or no configuration. It combines a UEFI boot stub program like systemd-stub(7), a GNU/Linux kernel image, an initrd, and additional resources into a single UEFI PE file. * ⚓ OSTechNix ☛ Install_Fedora_GNU/Linux_41_Workstation_[Step-by-Step Guide]⠀⇛ This Step-by-Step guide will walk you through the steps to install Fedora GNU/Linux 41 Workstation Edition on your computer. * ⚓ Linux Journal ☛ A_Simple_Guide_to_Data_Visualization_on_Ubuntu_for Beginners⠀⇛ Data visualization is not just an art form but a crucial tool in the modern data analyst's arsenal, offering a compelling way to present, explore, and understand large datasets. In the context of Ubuntu, one of the most popular GNU/Linux distributions, leveraging the power of data visualization tools can transform complex data into insightful, understandable visual narratives.

One such command that plays a crucial role in accessing and analyzing kernel messages is dmesg. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Thunderbird_on_Fedora_40⠀⇛ Thunderbird, a powerful and versatile email client developed by Mozilla, has become a go-to choice for many GNU/Linux users. With its robust features and customization options, Thunderbird seamlessly integrates with various GNU/Linux distributions, including the popular Fedora 40. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Darktable_on_Fedora_40⠀⇛ Darktable is a powerful, open-source photography workflow application that provides a comprehensive suite of tools for managing and processing digital images. As a photographer or enthusiast, using the latest version of Darktable ensures access to new features, improved performance, and enhanced stability. * ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ How_to_Enable_Left-Handed_Mouse_Mode_in_Ubuntu⠀⇛ If you’re left-handed, using a regular mouse setup can be uncomfortable. Luckily, Ubuntu allows you to switch your mouse to left-handed mode easily. This means you can swap the functions of the left and right mouse buttons to make it more comfortable for left-handers. * ⚓ Ubuntubuzz ☛ How_To_Install_Tor_Browser_on_Ubuntu_24.04⠀⇛  This tutorial will help you install Tor Browser, the anonymity-promising web browser derived from Firefox, on Ubuntu 24.04 "Noble Numbat". We also included below how to update, how to make desktop shortcuts, and even how to contribute back to this amazing Free Software project. Now let's begin and happy surfing! * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ My_"time_to_full_crawl"_(vague)_metric⠀⇛ Since there are only so many things to render to HTML, this on disk cache has a maximum size that it stabilizes at; given enough time, everything gets visited and thus winds up in the disk cache of rendered HTML. The render disk cache lives in its own directory hierarchy, and so I can watch its size with a simple 'du -hs' command. Since I delete the entire cache every so often, this gives me an indicator that I can call either "time to full cache" or "time to full crawl". The time to full cache is how long it typically takes for the cache to reach maximum size, which is how long it takes for everything to be visited by something (or actually, used to render a URL that something visited). * ⚓ Hazel Weakly ☛ Cache_Me_Not,_Cache_Me,_Cache_Me_Not⠀⇛ Caching is hard. So hard. But also, we are so fucking bad at it. Every time I have to use a public wifi setup I have a joker moment. Does absolutely nobody test shit on anything less than wired symmetric gigabit anymore? * ⚓ Alvaro Montoro ☛ New_Values_and_Functions_in_CSS⠀⇛ The CSS Working Group released the first Public Working Draft for the CSS Values and Units Module Level 5. It describes the common values and units that CSS properties accept and the syntax used for them, and it comes with some interesting new features. * ⚓ [Old] Andy Bell ☛ Some_little_ways_I’m_using_CSS_:has()_in_the_real world⠀⇛ There’s a lot of chatter around the new(ish) :has() pseudo- class. It’s something we’ve been crying out for, for years: being able to select parent elements! * ⚓ Jason W Comeau ☛ The_Undeniable_Utility_Of_CSS_:has⠀⇛ One of these new features is the :has pseudo-class. And, honestly, I wasn’t sure how useful it would be for me. I mostly build webapps using React, which means I tend not to use complex selectors. Would the :has pseudo-class really offer much benefit in this context? Well, I’ve spent the past few months rebuilding this blog, using all of the modern CSS bells and whistles. And my goodness, I was wrong about :has. It’s an incredibly handy utility, even in a CSS-in-JS context! ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2131 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/09/20/today_s_leftovers.1.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/09/20/today_s_leftovers.1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 20, 2024 * ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ trurl_0.16⠀⇛ I decided to bump the minor version number again because there is a new option: --qtrim. This is the old --trim option made simpler and specialized for query components only. When we added originally --trim, the idea was that it would be similar to --set and --get and be able to trim different components – but over time we have realized that the only component the trimming operation really makes sense for is query. * § Games⠀➾ o ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ Backrooms:_Escape_Together,_on_Linux⠀⇛ I’m not why I had no idea what Backrooms was all about for the past few years. It must have been a blind spot. I came across Backrooms via a Hacker News post. Some guy had apparently found where the original pictures that started the Backrooms urban legend came from. That’s all good and well, but what is Backrooms? * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ James G ☛ Improving_relevance_on_my_site_search_engine⠀⇛ The search engine on this website is powered by JameSQL, an open source, NoSQL database. The engine accepts a query and evaluates it according to any conditions specified. I strive to keep query times below 10ms, to help ensure the search experience feels and is as fast as possible. o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ AWS_claims_its_cloud_faces_competition_from_on- premises_IT⠀⇛ Cloud behemoth AWS says it is facing stiff competition from on-premises infrastructure, which is a turnaround from its once-proud boast that all workloads would eventually move to the cloud. In a summary of evidence given to UK watchdog, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), AWS denies that customers face any difficulty in switching from its platform. And to demonstrate this, AWS lists examples of customers returning from the cloud to run their IT on site. * § Programming/Development⠀➾ o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Open_source_maintainers_with_little_time and_changes⠀⇛ Of course this applies to more than just backward incompatible language changes; especially it applies to API changes. Both language and API changes force project maintainers into a Red Queen's Race, where their effort doesn't improve their project, it just keeps it working. Does this mean that you can never change languages or APIs in ways that break backward compatibility? Obviously not, but it does mean that you should make sure that the change is worth the cost, and the more used your language or API is, the higher the cost. C is an extremely widely used language, so the cost of any break with backward compatibility in it (including in the C standard library) is quite high. o ⚓ Rlang ☛ How_to_Use_cat()_in_R_to_Print_Multiple_Variables_on_the Same_Line⠀⇛ Printing multiple variables on the same line is a fundamental skill for R programmers. This guide will introduce you to the cat() function, a powerful tool for efficient and flexible output in R. * § Server⠀➾ o ⚓ IBM_Acquires_Kubecost_to_Bring_FinOps_to_Kubernetes Environments⠀⇛ IBM this week revealed it has acquired Kubecost, a provider of a cost monitoring and optimization platform designed specifically for Kubernetes environments. o ⚓ Survey_Surfaces_Where_Kubernetes_Clusters_Are_Running_Most⠀⇛ A survey of 125 IT professionals finds that three- quarters (75%) of respondents are running Kubernetes clusters in public clouds compared to 43% running Kubernetes in a private data center. o ⚓ Cyber Security News ☛ 20_Best_Linux_Admin_Tools_In_2024⠀⇛ Linux admin tools provide administrators with comprehensive control over system configurations, performance monitoring, and security management, ensuring optimal operation of Linux environments. These tools streamline tasks such as software updates, system backups, and user management, enhancing overall efficiency and reducing the complexity of managing multiple Linux systems. * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ The BSD Now Podcast ☛ BSD_Now_577:_Multi-Threaded_LZ4⠀⇛ New Host Introduction 🤭, From Bridging to Routing With FreeBSD, Sovereign Tech Fund to Invest €686,400 in FreeBSD Infrastructure Modernization, The Dying Computer Museum, In practice, abstractions hide their underlying details, LZ4 Compression Algorithm Gets Multi-Threaded Update, Using backdoored Windows or GNU/Linux on FreeBSD's vm-bhyve, and more ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2292 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/09/20/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/09/20/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 20, 2024 * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ RISC-V_guardian_SiFive_unveils_new_chip_designs for_low-powered_Hey_Hi_(AI)_at_the_edge⠀⇛ Open-source semiconductor design company SiFive Inc. today unveiled its latest chip design blueprints, the SiFive Intelligence XM Series, saying these are the first based on its RISC-V architecture to include a highly scalable artificial intelligence matrix engine. o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ STMicro_STM32C071_Arm_Cortex-M0+_MCU_adds_USB_FS interface,_targets_inexpensive_GUI_implementations⠀⇛ STMicro has just announced the availability of the STM32C071 Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller part of the STM32C0 series with 128 KB of flash and 24 KB of RAM suitable for driving a small 320 x 240 display using an SPI interface and building affordable graphical user interfaces (GUI) for appliances. * § Rocky Linux⠀➾ o ⚓ PR Web ☛ CIQ_Partners_with_Ansys_on_Optimized_Rocky_Linux Deployment⠀⇛ CIQ, the company leading the next generation of software infrastructure for enterprises, has partnered with Ansys, the global leader in engineering simulation, to create an optimized Rocky Linux cloud image specifically tailored for the Ansys suite of software. Ansys selected Rocky Linux as an alternative following the recently announced termination of CentOS (Community Enterprise Operating System). CIQ, the founding support and services provider for Rocky Linux, has become an Ansys Technology Partner, leveraging CIQ's expertise in streamlining lifecycle management of high-performance computing environments. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2355 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/09/20/Windows_TCO_Ransomware_PowerShell_and_Data_Breaches.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/09/20/Windows_TCO_Ransomware_PowerShell_and_Data_Breaches.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Windows TCO: Ransomware, PowerShell, and Data Breaches⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 20, 2024 * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Insecure_software_makers_are_the_real_cyber_villains –_CISA⠀⇛ Even calling security holes "software vulnerabilities" is too lenient, she added. This phrase "really diffuses responsibility. We should call them 'product defects,'" Easterly said. And instead of automatically blaming victims for failing to patch their products quickly enough, "why don't we ask: Why does software require so many urgent patches? The truth is: We need to demand more of technology vendors." * ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Ransomware_attacks:_Rising_threats_and_increasing demands⠀⇛ Back in 2019, ransomware attacks were just ramping up, focusing on infecting single machines. However, by 2020 and 2021, ransomware became more aggressive, with attacks targeting entire organizations and leading to more widespread damage, according to Kimberly Goody (pictured), head of cyber crime analysis at Google LLC. By 2023, an alarming new trend emerged: although fewer organizations paid ransoms, the median ransom payment skyrocketed from $200,000 to $1.5 million, a shocking seven-fold increase. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Valencia_Ransomware_crew_'hits'_California_city_and more⠀⇛ The alleged victims are the city of Pleasanton, and the crims claim to have stolen 304GB of data from this California municipality; Bangladeshi drugs maker Globe Pharmaceuticals Limited (200MB data); Indian paper manufacturer Satia Industries (7.1GB); Malaysian pharma firm Duopharma Biotech Berhad (25.7GB); and Spanish fashion retailer Tendam, with an unspecified amount of data allegedly stolen. * ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ What_more_can_be_done_to_stop_ransomware_attacks? ⠀⇛ “The rewards of ransomware are so great” for attackers, said Brett Callow, a managing director at FTI Consulting. “We really need a very powerful deterrent or we need very effective mechanisms to reduce the amount of money that’s flowing into the ransomware ecosystem. Until we do one of those two things, or a combination of both, we’re not really going to get to grips with this problem.” * ⚓ Krebs On Security ☛ This_Windows_PowerShell_Phish_Has_Scary_Potential⠀⇛ PowerShell is a powerful, cross-platform [sic] automation tool built into Windows that is designed to make it simpler for administrators to automate tasks on a PC or across multiple computers on the same network. According to an analysis at the malware scanning service Virustotal.com, the malicious file downloaded by the pasted text is called Lumma Stealer, and it’s designed to snarf any credentials stored on the victim’s PC. * ⚓ Cyble Inc ☛ Stillwater_Data_Breach_Exposes_Info_Of_7,258_Employees⠀⇛ The hacking group RansomHouse claimed responsibility for the cyberattack on StillWater in late July and allegedly leaked the stolen data in mid-August. The hackers claimed to have exfiltrated 1.2 TB of data from StillWater. RansomHouse emerged in March 2022 and is labelled as a multi-pronged extortion threat. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2451 ➮ Generation completed at 02:49, i.e. 25 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
