It allows for secret training data and mechanisms. It allows for development to be done in secret. Since for a neural network, the training data is the source code—it’s how the model gets programmed—the definition makes no sense. And it’s confusing; most “open source” AI models—like LLAMA—are open source in name only. But the OSI seems to have been co-opted by industry players that want both corporate secrecy and the “open source” label. (Here’s one rebuttal to the definition.) This is worth fighting for. We need a public AI option, and open source—real open source—is a necessary component of that.

At Canonical’s Design team, this proverb manifested in our Figma libraries. While we consistently deliver high-quality designs for our diverse products used by millions of users, we had neglected our own Figma libraries. They had become outdated and inefficient. This year, we decided to tackle this problem by developing new_Figma libraries from scratch – ones that meet our needs and that we enjoy using. The libraries were disorganized and contained material that was still under development, so it was not clear what to use. They were incomplete compared to our codebase and the existing components were not consistently kept up to date. This led to team members detaching components and creating their own local components and small unofficial libraries. At some point we felt that enough was enough. We needed to do some self-care and build our Figma libraries from scratch that met the requirements of our usual design work.  * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Life_at_Canonical:_Freyja_Cooper’s_perspective_as_a_new_joiner in_Communications⠀⇛ Canonical has developed a unique onboarding process that enables new hires to quickly settle and establish themselves in our globally distributed environment.

After 2010, we suddenly all had a device in our pocket that we could easily use to share experiences and observations from anywhere. And at least at IT events, people started doing this a lot. Under the hashtag of the given conference, there was a stream of messages from participants about which talks they liked, where they could find a good place to eat in the area, what caught their attention among the booths. The event organizers used this to inform visitors, and the booth staff to attract people to their booth. I remember writing about what we had interesting at our booth, and people actually came to have a look based on that. * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ Yordi Verkroost ☛ From_Ideas_to_Arcade⠀⇛ Attending computer science education conferences always inspires me to develop new curriculum ideas for my students.

Another project involved a collaboration between a teacher and his student reviving an old gaming library, back to life and learning together in the process. o ⚓ Arun Raghavan ☛ GStreamer_Conference_2024⠀⇛ All of us at Asymptotic are back home from the exciting week at GStreamer Conference 2024 in Montréal, Canada last month.

A previous proposal had pushed for KDE Plasma to become the default desktop environment for Fedora 42, taking Gnome’s place. There was never much chance of that proposal passing, given that Gnome is the default desktop for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which is the downstream commercial distro based on Fedora, and that Red Hat is Fedora’s sponsor. Nonetheless, the proposal started a conversation about the importance of the KDE Spin, which already has the ability to block/postpone a release of Fedora if show-stopping bugs are found in it. Elevating it to Edition status is a good compromise, especially since Gnome and KDE are the two most popular desktop environments in the Linux space.

Monitoring solutions are either based on performance metrics data for application monitoring or resource utilization data for infrastructure monitoring. Additionally, policy configuration (security and quality of service (QoS) policies) for the deployed workloads is not taken into consideration. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 761 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/09/Fedora_Red_Hat_IBM_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/09/Fedora_Red_Hat_IBM_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Fedora / Red Hat / IBM Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 09, 2024 * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Secure_cloud_bursting:_Leveraging_confidential computing_for_peace_of_mind [Ed: Red Hat promoting back doors and surveillance mislabelled as "confidential"]⠀⇛ When using the public cloud there are always challenges which need to be overcome. Organizations lose some of the control over how security is handled and who can access the elements which, in most cases, are the core of the company's business. Additionally, some of those elements are controlled by local laws and regulations.This is especially true in the Financial Services and Insurance Industry (FSI) where regulations are gradually increasing in scope. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Use_bootc_logically_bound_images_to_deploy_a_Kafka_cluster⠀⇛ Logically_bound_images are a recently added feature in bootc that allows any container image to be managed directly by bootc. One of the many benefits this provides is simplified system management. An application image can be "bound" to a bootc operating system image as part of the bootc container build. This simplified system management would have been useful for a project I previously worked on. The project was a large web application composed of dozens of microservices running in a Kubernetes cluster. These microservices primarily used Kafka to communicate. Our Kafka instance was also deployed in a Kubernetes cluster using the amq-streams operator. The operator made the deployment and management of the Kafka cluster simple; however, keeping the cluster stable was a constant battle. One of the main issues was due to Kafka's heavy memory requirement. 32GB of memory is the minimum recommendation for a single Kafka node with a minimum of 3 nodes. Due to the cost, our Kubernetes nodes were not sized to accommodate this large memory requirement. We likely could have leveraged many of the newer Kubernetes features to stabilize the cluster; however, I wonder if it would have made more sense to run each Kafka node directly on a virtual machine (VM).  * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Recent_improvements_in_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux CoreOS_security_data⠀⇛ Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) underpins Red Hat OpenShift, the industry’s leading hybrid cloud application platform powered by Kubernetes. RHCOS  demonstrates the flexibility that Red Hat delivers to customers by providing a comprehensive, dedicated and container-optimized base operating system. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_track_file_descriptors_with_Valgrind⠀⇛ This article describes the new file descriptor related features recently added to Valgrind and explains how to use them to track the file descriptors that your program is using or, more importantly, misusing.  Valgrind was able to track file descriptors for a while. But my colleague Mark Wielaard and I improved this feature and turned all file descriptor operations into events, which allowed Valgrind to create errors on misuse that can show where the operation occurred, made them suppressible, and can be reported in different formats. ✐ What is Valgrind?⠀✐ Valgrind is an instrumentation framework for building dynamic analysis tools. The tool can detect various memory management and threading bugs. To be able to detect the bugs, Valgrind decompiles, instruments, and recompiles your code to intercept syscalls, signals, threading, and etc. The most used Valgrind tool, also used by default, is Memcheck, which detects inaccessible or undefined memory usage. The other tools are Cachegrind, a cache profiler; Massif, a heap profiler; and Helgrind, which is a thread debugger and the special none tool (which didn't report any errors before). * ⚓ Cockpit_Project:_Cockpit_328⠀⇛ Cockpit is the modern_GNU/Linux_admin_interface.

GIMP is an open-source image editing suite, which has the capacity to output multipage PDF files, but does not support exporting in the JBIG2 format. jbig2enc is an open-source encoder for JBIG2 images; however, as a command-line tool it is somewhat cumbersome to integrate into a standard document-editing workflow. GIMP has recently released version 3.0 RC1, finalising the 3.0 version of its plugin API. In view of this, I present file- jbig2pdf, a GIMP 3.0 plugin for exporting JBIG2-encoded PDF files, with support for multipage PDFs. * ⚓ Andrew Hutchings ☛ Joining_wolfSSL_-_LinuxJedi's_/dev/null⠀⇛ wolfSSL is probably the most versatile open source encryption library in existence.

Here's the merge request if you're curious: plasma-desktop: Refactor_icon_positioner_saving_and_loading The existing code worked sometimes, but there were some oddities like race conditions (icon positioning happens in weird order) and backend code mixed in with frontend code.

Some of them were contributed by yours truly, and in this post I want to highlight some of them. They relate to graphics tablet/stylus input on Wayland. Before we go into the fixes let’s have a quick overview of the flow of tablet input events on Wayland: The genesis of input events is in the kernel driver for the particular tablet, which talks to the hardware (via USB, bluetooth etc). The kernel passes events to userspace via the evdev system. On the userspace side a Wayland compositor reads those events. Most compositors leverage libinput for this, a library that transforms raw evdev events into something more usable for the compositor while applying some cleaning and configuration. The compositor then delivers events to native Wayland applications using the tablet-v2 protocol. For legacy XWayland applications the compositor uses this protocol to send events to XWayland, which translates them into things X11 apps understand. The compositor can apply useful transformations to the input, like which area of the screen the tablet is mapped to, changing the pressure curve of the pen, or binding buttons to keyboard shortcuts. The application then processes the events, potentially leveraging a UI toolkit like Qt. Qt creates QTabletEvent object for incoming Wayland events and delivers those to all UI elements. In case no UI element reacts to the event Qt will synthesize a mouse event from the tablet event and deliver that to the UI elements. That way most controls like buttons and menus don’t need special code to handle tablet input. Only when doing very low-level input handling or when needing tablet- specific interactions (like reacting to different pressure values) application developers need to explicitly handle tablet events in their code. Most UI toolkits will work somewhat similar to this. If an application doesn’t react to tablet input at all please file a bug against the application. * ⚓ KDE_Gear_24.12_branches_created⠀⇛ Make sure you commit anything you want to end up in the KDE Gear 24.12 releases to them Next Dates: o   November 14, 2024: 24.12 freeze and beta (24.11.80) tagging and release o   November 28, 2024: 24.12 RC (24.11.90) tagging and release o   December  5, 2024: 24.12 tagging o   December 12, 2024: 24.12 release https://community.kde.org/Schedules/KDE_Gear_24.12_Schedule ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1622 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/09/Linux_DAW_is_a_one_stop_catalog_of_free_and_proprietary_plug_in.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/09/Linux_DAW_is_a_one_stop_catalog_of_free_and_proprietary_plug_in.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Linux DAW is a one-stop catalog of free and proprietary plug-ins for Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 09, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Linux_DAW⦈_ From full free and open-source software to proprietary favorites from other platforms, the plug-in options on Linux have quietly come into their own. linuxdaw.org has a visual, searchable catalog – and it’s a reminder of just how spoiled for choice you are even without Windows or macOS. Every format is here – standalone, VST2, VST3, CLAP, LV2, and even VCV Rack. Even what’s on this site just scratches the surface – you’ll find plenty more in your favorite distro and repository.

It’s capable of accepting over-the-air updates, and not just from Colmi’s own apps. If you speak the SoC’s language, you can talk to it. o ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ (Updated)_Banana_Pi_Showcases_BPI-CanMV-K230D_Zero with_Canaan_K230D_Chip_Design⠀⇛ The Banana Pi BPI-CanMV-K230D-Zero is an upcoming single- board computer for AIoT applications, developed in collaboration with Canaan Technology. Featuring the Kendryte K230D chip, it provides local AI inference capabilities, making it useful for DIY projects and embedded systems. o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Portwell_PJAI-100-ON_rugged_Edge_Hey_Hi_(AI) embedded_system_features_NVIDIA_Jetson_Orin_Nano_for_industrial quality_control⠀⇛ Portwell has launched the PJAI-100-ON, a rugged and compact embedded system powered by the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano SOM and designed for demanding industrial environments. It operates reliably across a wide temperature range of -20°C to 60°C with a fanless, quiet design that requires minimal maintenance. Equipped with dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports and M.2 slots for wireless connectivity, the PJAI-100-ON is tailored for Edge Hey Hi (AI) applications. o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Renesas_RA8E1_and_RA8E2_entry-level_Arm_Cortex-M85 MCUs_target_cost-sensitive_applications⠀⇛ Renesas has expanded its Arm Cortex-M85-based RA8 series to include two new entry-level MCUs, RA8E1 and RA8E2. The new microcontrollers perform similarly to other Arm Cortex-M85-based microcontrollers and are offered at a lower price point thanks to a streamlined feature set to reduce costs. The RA8E1 and RA8E2 groups of microcontrollers will be useful for high-volume applications in industrial and home automation, healthcare, office equipment, and consumer products. We have previously covered other models in Renesas’ RA8 series, including the Renesas RA8T1, RA8D1, and the very first Cortex-M85 microcontroller, the Renesas RA8M1. * § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Nico Cartron ☛ First_look_at_the_Jolla_C2_Community_Phone⠀⇛ I ordered the C2, which is Jolla's new Community Phone for Sailfish OS. It's meant to be for the community, meaning not all bugs will be squashed. o ⚓ PC World ☛ How_often_should_you_turn_off_your_phone?_Here's_what the_NSA_advises⠀⇛ Surprisingly, this includes a very basic task that many people never do: switching your phone off completely. According to security experts at the NSA, this alone helps to protect the device from some hacking attacks. It is now not only common to gain access to smartphones via malicious links, but also via so-called zero-click exploits. o ⚓ MikroTik_“Access_point_temporarily_full”_with_Android_Devices⠀⇛ An issue with management protection. The Problem Android device disconnects from MikroTik access point with “access point temporarily full” error. Android device is running LineageOS v21 (Android 14) using WPA2 for compatibility reasons. MikroTik is running ROS v7.16.1. o ⚓ Dedoimedo ☛ Samsung_A54_smartphone_review,_a_year_later⠀⇛ Mr. Grumpy reporting for duty. And there's a good reason, too! This be a review and report 6 of my Samsung A54 mid- range smartphone long-term usage, including overall impression after one year, new updates with separate focus on Android, Samsung and Surveillance Giant Google Play patches, Gemini Hey Hi (AI) nonsense in Messages, new privacy annoyances, search engine selection, tons of fresh bugs and usability problems, and more.

In the past few months we’ve seen the company expand its range of official accessories and add-ons to encompass everything from Hey Hi (AI) HATs to SD cards and SSDs guaranteed to contain the right tech to ensure Pi owners get the best possible performance. * ⚓ Mediocregopher ☛ Record_Player_Table⠀⇛ When we moved here two years ago we brought all of our records with us, but left behind the record player itself. Since then we've tried to fill that gap in our home, but lacking any space to put our collection and a record player we kept putting it off. Wanting to do some real woodworking, for the first time since high school, a record player table was an obvious first project for me. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ DexteriSync_lets_you_walk_a_mile_in_the_gloves_of_a_user_with manual_disability⠀⇛ DexteriSync is an exoskeleton-like device worn on the hand. But unlike most exoskeletons, DexteriSync reduces the user’s ability instead of expanding it. It does so via thermal manipulation. If you’ve ever had numb hands following a snowball fight, you know how much the cold can affect your dexterity. In fact, skin temperature is one of the biggest factors related to hand and finger dexterity. By controlling the user’s skin temperature, DexteriSync is able to induce a reduction in dexterity and that could be useful to designers that want to make their products accessible to those living with disabilities. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ 2023_Hackaday_Supercon:_One_Year_Of_Progress_For_Project Boondock_Echo⠀⇛ Do you remember the fourth-place winner in the 2022 Hackaday Prize? If it’s slipped your mind, that’s okay—it was Boondock Echo. It was a radio project that aimed to make it easy to record and playback conversations from two-way radio communications. The project was entered via Hackaday.io, the judges dug it, and it was one of the top projects of that year’s competition. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2335 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/09/Programming_Leftovers.1.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/09/Programming_Leftovers.1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 09, 2024 * ⚓ Joe Heck ☛ Code_Spelunking_in_DocC⠀⇛ Head’s up: this post is a technical deep dive into the code of DocC, the Swift language documentation system.

The rule lookup/ 3 can be used to both add to and get from the dictionary. This query calls lookup/3 with a key, a variable, and a value. The variable is instantiated to a new dictionary containing the key-value pair and the variables _A and _B in the left and right branches: [...] * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Olaf Alders ☛ How_I_Spent_My_First_London_Perl_Workshop⠀⇛ Earlier this year I was excited (one might even say well chuffed) when I heard that the London Perl Workshop was coming back after a hiatus of several years. I knew that in all likelihood I would not be able to attend, but it has been a bucket list item of mine for quite some time. You may be thinking to yourself that I have a weird bucket list. You’re not wrong. [...] On Saturday morning, Leo and I headed down to the conference on foot, since our hotel was quite close to the venu. We grabbed a coffee on the way and then did the registration, which consisted of putting your name on a name tag and getting your conference scarf. Providing a scarf as swag means the organizers don’t have to take sizes or different styles into account. Very smart. Here I had the chance to (re)connect with even more people, since just a small fraction of the attendees had been at the Friday evening social. The event was incredibly well attended. The vibe was positive, with lots of laughs and lots of interesting talks. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Simon Willison ☛ uv_0.5.0⠀⇛ uv 0.5.0.

The insight is that the string of options that you have to pass to getopt() is redundant with respect to the code that deals with the return values from getopt(). What if you just get rid of the options string? I thought I would try it. Turns out, not much is lost in getting rid of the options string, and a few things are gained. My new code is half the size or less of getopt(), and has more functionality. I’m going to show how how this was done, because it’s short (ish), not because it is interesting. Then I’ll try to tease out a lesson or two. * ⚓ Fabian “ryg” Giesen ☛ Exact_UNORM8_to_float⠀⇛ GPUs support UNORM formats that represent a number inside [0,1] as an 8-bit unsigned integer. In exact arithmetic, the conversion to a floating-point number is straightforward: take the integer and divide it by 255. 8-bit integers are for sure machine numbers (exactly represented) in float32 and so is 255, so if you’re willing to do a “proper” divide, that’s the end of it; both inputs are exact, so the result of the division is the same as the result of the computation in exact arithmetic rounded to the nearest float32 (as per active rounding mode anyway), which is the best we can hope for. * ⚓ Aleksandar Vacić ☛ Objective-C_framework_callbacks_in_Swift_6_· aplus.rs⠀⇛ After upgrading all my active projects to Swift 6 language mode, I was bound to encounter some head-scratching edge cases. One of the weirdest ones was this runtime crash: [...] * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Testing_Data_with_If_and_Else_If_in_C⠀⇛ In C programming, the ability to make decisions and control the flow of a program is essential. One of the most fundamental ways to do this is by using conditional statements like if and else if. These statements allow you to test data and execute different blocks of code based on the outcome of those tests. In this article, we’ll explore how to use if and else if statements effectively, along with an overview of relational operators in C. * ⚓ [Repeat] Tedium ☛ Election_Post-Mortem:_Know_What_You_Control⠀⇛ I opened up a code window, and started working on some nagging bugs in the redesign I’m working on. Within an hour, I fixed two of the biggest nags I had been facing—both involving some pretty messy logic. I always find this to be a great way to solve code problems: If something is really broken, set it aside and pick it back up later. Sometimes, yak-shaving is simply worth it. This code was admittedly trying to do something complex, and when it was busted I could not for the life of me figure it out. It was just not correctly loading at all in some cases, and in others, it was glitching out in a way that looked wrong. But in the midst of all the heart-wrenching drama, I worked on a bit of refactoring, and the result now works as one would expect. * ⚓ [Old] University of Colorado Boulder ☛ Coding_best_practices_—_Research Computing_University_of_Colorado_Boulder_documentation⠀⇛ Programmers employ numerous tactics to ensure readable and organized code. These include: 1. using naming conventions for variables; 2. placing whitespace, indentations and tabs within code; 3. adding comments throughout to aid in interpretation. In this tutorial we will examine these concepts. * ⚓ Net2 ☛ 8_Programming_Languages_that_Every_Teachie_Should_Master⠀⇛ By Andrew B.Mazur – When you must choose among existing programming languages, it should not be either one or another because the most important is to learn the basics of coding by taking enough time to practice. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Embedding_R/exams_Exercises_as_Forms_in_R/Markdown_or_Quarto Documents⠀⇛ Introduction to the new exams2forms package for including quizzes or individual questions from dynamic exercise templates into rmarkdown or quarto documents, e.g., for self-paced learning and self-assessment. * ⚓ KDAB ☛ Delivering_Software_Updates:_The_Last_Mile_of_Product Development⠀⇛ Shipping your product to customers is where some real challenges in software development begin. Once it lands in customers’ hands, delivering the expected and necessary software updates can be a complicated task. Here’s a breakdown of some key considerations to keep your product, and your customers, running smoothly, even after your product has shipped. * ⚓ Medevel ☛ Top_11_Open-Source_UI_Frameworks_for_Next.js_and_React⠀⇛ When building a React-based application with Next.js, selecting the right UI (User Interface) framework can make a significant difference in the development process and the final product. UI frameworks provide pre-built components, styling options, and design patterns that can speed up development, ensure consistency, and enhance the user experience. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ [Old] Jason Nochlin ☛ 6_Techniques_I_Use_to_Create_a_Great_User Experience_for_Shell_Scripts⠀⇛ Gunnar quickly became overwhelmed being the (unpaid) evaluator of a constant stampede of entries.

Nine contributors have been tirelessly working on their exciting projects for several months. The projects had various durations; some of them have ended in August, while the last one has been concluded in the middle of October. Now that the final reports of all the projects have been submitted, we can happily announce that all nine contributors have passed the final review! That means that we have deemed all of their projects to be successful, even though they might not have fulfilled all of their original goals (but that was expected). o ⚓ Rust Blog ☛ The_Rust_Programming_Language_Blog:_gccrs:_An alternative_compiler_for_Rust⠀⇛ gccrs is a work-in-progress alternative compiler for Rust being developed as part of the GCC_project. GCC is a collection of compilers for various programming languages that all share a common compilation framework. You may have heard about gccgo, gfortran, or g++, which are all binaries within that project, the GNU_Compiler Collection. The aim of gccrs is to add support for the Rust programming language to that collection, with the goal of having the exact same behavior as rustc. o ⚓ Rust Weekly Updates ☛ This_Week_In_Rust:_This_Week_in_Rust_572⠀⇛ Hello and welcome to another issue of This Week in Rust! ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2681 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/09/Security_Leftovers.1.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/09/Security_Leftovers.1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 09, 2024 * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Friday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (edk2), Debian (webkit2gtk), Fedora (thunderbird), Oracle (bzip2, container- tools:ol8, edk2, go-toolset:ol8, libtiff, python-idna, python3.11, and python3.12), Slackware (expat), and SUSE (apache2, govulncheck-vulndb, grub2, java-1_8_0-openjdk, python3, python39, qemu, xorg-x11-server, and xwayland). * § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾ o ⚓ Tor ☛ Defending_the_Tor_network:_Mitigating_IP_spoofing_against Tor_|_The_Tor_Project⠀⇛ At the end of October, Tor directory authorities, relay operators, and even the Tor Project sysadmin team received multiple abuse complaints from their providers about port scanning. These complaints were traced back to a coordinated IP spoofing attack, where an attacker spoofed non-exit relays and other Tor-related IPs to trigger abuse reports aimed at disrupting the Tor Project and the Tor network. Thanks to a joint effort from the Tor community, InterSecLab, and the support of Andrew Morris and the team at GreyNoise, the origin of these spoofed packets was identified and shut down on November 7th, 2024. We want to reassure everyone that this incident had no effect on Tor users. While the attack had a limited impact on the Tor network - taking a few relays offline temporarily - it caused unnecessary stress and inconvenience for many relay operators who had to address these complaints. Although this attack targeted our community, IP spoofing attacks can happen with any online service. * § Windows TCO⠀➾ o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ No_word_from_Microsoft_on_shock_Windows_Server 2025_installs⠀⇛ On November 5, Microsoft seemingly mislabeled the Windows Server 2025 upgrade with a globally unique identifier (GUID) for updates. The result was that some administrators' were faced with a surprise install of Windows Server 2025 thanks to patching software downloading and installing what was tagged as an update but instead turned out to be a whole new operating system. o ⚓ The Record ☛ TSA_floats_new_rules_mandating_cyber_incident reporting_for_pipelines,_railroads⠀⇛ The Transportation Security Administration proposed new rules this week that would codify existing temporary directives requiring pipeline and railroad operators to report cyber incidents and create cyber risk management (CRM) plans.

More and more architectures manage to complete rebootstrap testing successfully again. Here are two examples of what kind of issues the bootstrap testing identifies. At some point, libpng1.6 would fail to cross build on musl architectures whereas it would succeed on other ones failing to locate zlib. Adding --debug-find to the cmake invocation eventually revealed that it would fail to search in /usr/lib/, which is the default library path. This turned out to be a bug_in_cmake assuming that all_linux_systems_use_glibc. libpng1.6 also gained a baseline_violation for powerpc and ppc64 by enabling the use of AltiVec there. * § Kernel Space⠀➾ o ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Intel_engineer's_Linux_patch_would_alert_users of_outdated_microcode_—_Flagging_the_system_as_vulnerable⠀⇛ Your Linux system will inform you if your CPU is using an old microcode. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2853 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/09/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/11/09/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 09, 2024 * ⚓ Dolphin Publications B V ☛ Small_security_tweak_Torvalds_improves_Linux performance⠀⇛ Linux guru and founder Linus Torvalds has implemented a small security tweak in the OS’s source code that boosts performance just a bit more. His efforts increase Linux’s multithreaded performance in particular. The security tweak implemented by Torvalds, which is designated x86/uaccess:Avoid barrier_nospec() in 64-bit copy_from_user(), focuses on improving the source code against the well-known Meltdown and Spectre attacks that have been known since 2018.

Despite its versatility and potential, XMPP has struggled to gain the popularity it deserves.

It’s going to happen during the last day of the Nerdearla open-source conference in Mexico City. Because the event is in Spanish it isn’t being publicized as much as it should on this side of the border, but the chat will be conducted in English and translated for Spanish-speaking attendees. If you’ve been following the brouhaha between Mullenweg and WP Engine, you’ll probably want to dial in. Earlier this week when I talked with Ariel Jolo, Nerdearla’s founder and main spokesperson, he said that he would be conducting the interview and that it would be “the highlight of the event.” What they’re going to talk about, I don’t know, but I’m crossing fingers and toes hoping to hear something about the ongoing fiasco that has Mullenweg looking more like Steve Ballmer or Larry Ellison than an open-source hero.
