some big updates, such as XFCE 4.20, RHEL 10.0 Beta, and GNU/Linux Mint 22.1 Beta, in last days. While, many free open-source apps also released updates recently you may care about. * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Linux_Mastodon_App_Tuba_Adds_Post_Scheduling,_Drafts_+ More⠀⇛ A new version of Tuba, the open-source Mastodon client for GNU/ Linux desktops, is out – and it’s a whopper! Tuba 0.9.0 delivers a wide array of new features, enhancements, and general finesse touching nearly every aspect of the client’s top-tier Fediverse experience. Chief among the highlights for is the addition of support for scheduled and draft posts. Posts can be scheduled from the composer, and a list of scheduled (not yet shared) posts can be accessed from a new sidebar entry, where scheduled posts and be edited/amended. * ⚓ Krita ☛ Krita_Monthly_Update_-_Edition_21⠀⇛ Welcome to the @Krita-promo team's November 2024 development and community update.

If you didn't know, AppImage is a universal packaging format that was created to provide native binaries for Linux users, similar to what other operating systems like Windows and macOS do have with .exe and .app files. * ⚓ GNU ☛ libiconv_@_Savannah:_GNU_libiconv_1.18_released⠀⇛ The GNU libiconv package provides the basis for character set conversion of text, for systems that don't use glibc. It contains an implementation of the iconv() POSIX:2024 API and of the 'iconv' program, in a way that is mostly glibc compatible. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 289 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/17/Applications_Release_of_GNU_Taler_0_14_some_software_recommenda.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/17/Applications_Release_of_GNU_Taler_0_14_some_software_recommenda.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Applications: Release of GNU Taler 0.14, some software recommendations, and "two very different things" called "package managers"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 17, 2024 * ⚓ Taler ☛ GNU_Taler_news:_GNU_Taler_0.14_released⠀⇛ We are happy to announce the release of GNU Taler v0.14. * ⚓ Medevel ☛ Meet_Docmost:_Self-Hosted_Collaborative_Wiki_and Documentation_Tool⠀⇛ If you're running self-hosted projects, managing documentation and knowledge bases shouldn't be a hassle. Enter Docmost, an open-source, collaborative tool designed to help you create, collaborate, and share knowledge seamlessly. * ⚓ Medevel ☛ Eidos:_An_Open-Source_Knowledge_Management_System_with_Hey_Hi (AI)_Tools⠀⇛ If you're looking for a potential alternative to Notion that embraces the open-source philosophy and integrates Hey Hi (AI) tools, Eidos is a project worth checking out. Hosted on Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub, Eidos is a Work-in- Progress (WIP) knowledge management system that aims to revolutionize how we manage and organize information. * ⚓ Hisham ☛ There_are_two_very_different_things_called_"package managers"⠀⇛ Earlier today, Ludovic Courtès asked_these_questions_on Mastodon: Are npm/crates.io just a different approach to distributing software, compared to GNU/Linux distros? Or is there something more fundamental about their approach, how it affects user/developer relations, and how if affects user autonomy? My take on these questions is that to me there are two fundamental differences: 1) npm/crates.io/LuaRocks (language package managers) are package managers for programmers. They ship primarily modules/ libraries; apt/rpm/etc (system package managers) are package managers for end-users. I don’t expect a non-programmer to ever use cargo but I expect a Ubuntu user to use apt (even if via a GUI). ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 366 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/17/Audiocasts_Shows_Late_Night_Linux_Destination_Linux.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/17/Audiocasts_Shows_Late_Night_Linux_Destination_Linux.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Audiocasts/Shows: Late Night Linux, Destination Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 17, 2024 * ⚓ Late_Night_Linux_–_Episode_312⠀⇛ SteamOS is probably going to ship on 3rd party hardware, there’s a remote chance that games with anti-cheat will work better on Linux, new Raspberry Pi hardware divides opinion among us, Hey Hi (AI) security reports burden FOSS developers, Xfce gets a bit closer to a Wayland future, KDE Plasma’s donation notification really worked, and more. * ⚓ Tux Digital ☛ Destination_Linux_400:_Celebrating_400_Episodes_of_DL with_a_Jill’s_Treasure_Hunt,_Gaming,_Cybersecurity,_and_more⠀⇛ This week we are LIVE!

The list itself is fine, but we discuss why the list looks the way it does (it’s because of WordPress). We also discuss why Josh hates lists like this (because they never create any actions). * ⚓ Bryan Lunduke ☛ No._2025_Won't_Be_The_Year_of_The_Linux_Desktop.

It brings together writing tools, an image playground, and provides Siri with enhanced action capabilities. Apple Intelligence is proprietary software and is not available for Linux. We recommend the best free and open source alternatives. * ⚓ 14_Best_Free_and_Open_Source_CLI_Tools_to_Find_and_Delete_Duplicate Files_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Duplicate files are a real annoyance. Aside from using disk space, these files do nothing but clutter up your drive, make your PC run slower, and increase the difficulty level significantly when it comes to finding the right version of a specific file: is it the one I just updated, or the other one? Good duplicate finding software compares more than just a filename – including the file size – so it doesn’t remove files which are different to each other. You need reliable software. But always make sure you are making regular backups. And test the backups actually work. This roundup focuses on command-line tools only. Here’s our verdict captured in a legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart. Only free and open source software is eligible for inclusion. * ⚓ yachalk_-_terminal_string_styling_done_right_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ yachalk is a feature-complete clone of the Chalk (JavaScript) library.

It’s designed to be user-friendly and feel right at home on a modern desktop by using GNOME’s libadwaita. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Rickrack_-_color_palette_generator_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ The software lets you export them into individual files and import them into other software such as Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, Krita, Pencil 2D and Clip Studio Paint. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Primer_-_GitHub's_design_system_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ The goal of this project is to create a system that enables GitHub to build consistent user experiences with ease, yet with enough flexibility to support the broad spectrum of GitHub websites.

With a metal claw replacing your lost limb, you will fight through a dungeon to get your lucky pawn back. The novelty this game brings to the table is the combat in the shape of a claw game. Your deck is composed of the items you collect through the dungeon. During the fight, some items are dropped in the claw-machine container at every turn, and you try to pick the most useful for each situation. * ⚓ Flashbulb_Games_confirms_layoffs_after_scrapping_unannounced_project⠀⇛ The Danish studio confirmed the news in a statement to Game Developer and said the job cuts were made after it halted development on an unannounced project.

In this post, you will learn more about Mayank Bansal, whose journey embodies the true spirit of open source collaboration. For over a decade, Mayank has contributed across multiple aspects of Firefox development, including web performance. With his experience, he’s known for his exceptional skill in identifying the culprit of performance regression, and has even outpaced our automated alerting system! He’s also been recently appointed as the_first_official Community_Performance_Sheriff. Read on to uncover his insider tips and best practices for meaningful open source contributions. Q: You’ve been a part of the Mozilla community since 2012. What initially inspired you to start contributing? I have always been interested in software performance. I started using Firefox in 2009. Sometime in 2010-2011, Firefox announced it was working on graphics hardware acceleration, which was a novel technique then. That really piqued my interest. A developer who worked on the graphics backend for Firefox wrote a blog about the progress. I tested the Firefox beta builds on some graphic intensive websites and posted my findings on their blog. The developer responded to my comments and then filed a bug on Bugzilla to track it. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 974 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/17/Happy_Birthday_To_My_Beloved_Husband.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/17/Happy_Birthday_To_My_Beloved_Husband.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Happy Birthday To My Beloved Husband⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 17, 2024, updated Dec 17, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Happy_Birthday_To_You⦈_ I might not have many surprises and gifts for you today, but my wishes and prayers for you are to keep going and continue to do what you are doing.

This extremely small-sized desktop PC is powered by the Ryzen 9 CPU, which means it can handle just about workflow you throw at it.

While the transition took time due to compatibility testing, it marks a significant upgrade for developers and pentesters alike. Notably, installing third-party Python packages using pip is now discouraged in favor of pipx, which ensures environment isolation for enhanced stability and security. For a smoother transition, Kali’s documentation offers guidance on installing Python applications with pipx. Original: * ⚓ Kali_GNU/Linux_2024.4_Release_(Python_3.12,_Goodbye_i386,_Raspberry_Pi Imager_&_Kali_NetHunter)⠀⇛ Just before the year starts to wrap up, we are getting the final 2024 release out!

Be mindful that if you're looking to take on this project for yourself, you will need to have appropriate soldering equipment and a microscope to do the job properly — but readers already comfortable with high-end tweaking and repair tasks may be willing to make that trade- off. Jeff Geerling is on the record hoping for a more powerful "Pro" or "Pro Max" Raspberry PI 500 kit outright, that will "give us everything", including the M.2 slot and PoE+ support apparently cut from the Pi 500 PCBs prior to release. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Sweet_Raspberry_taste_of_success_masks_a_missed opportunity⠀⇛ These may be the misperceptions of an ungrateful, entitled nerdery too used to a good thing, but there's a deeper truth at work. In part, this is an unavoidable consequence of the Raspberry Pi idea growing from a single, focused product of "a BBC Micro for today" to a revival of proficiency in low-level software and hardware skills amongst a very diverse enterprise that serves many different audiences. In part, this is because, despite the ethos of early microcomputing still fuelling the Raspberry Pi-maker's thinking, it isn't possible to recapitulate the raw excitement that happened back then. Pi-meister Eben Upton has never hidden being a huge fan of the Amiga 500, which parachuted sound synthesis, multimedia graphics and multitasking into markets that were used to machines which spent most of their time pretending to be glass teletypes with crude bitmap graphics stapled on. The chance to make a Pi 500 in tribute was, he hinted, irresistible. It could never be that tribute, though; the Pi 400 was the bold move into a market that nobody knew could be reanimated by Pi magic. The Pi 500's existence is a strategic success where strategy is the hardest trick to pull off. It is deserving of more attention offworld of Planet Pi than it will get. But what it is not, is exciting. Somehow, we expected excitement. * ⚓ Purism ☛ PureOS_Crimson_Development_Report:_November_2024⠀⇛ * ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Open-Source_Hornet_Nest_Alarm_Panel_for_Home_Assistant and_ESPHome⠀⇛ CrowdSupply recently featured the Hornet Nest Alarm Panel, a PoE-enabled security panel that integrates traditional wired alarm systems with modern smart home platforms like Home Assistant.

[Doctor Volt] explains how to easily set up your old smartphone to work as a touchscreen for your Arduino. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ Turn_your_old_Android_smartphone_into_an_Arduino_screen_with the_RemoteXY_app⠀⇛ Each component you add to your Arduino project increases its complexity and the opportunity for mistakes. But most projects require some “auxiliary” hardware — components that you use to interact with the Arduino or to help it do the job you’re asking of it.

A blizzard of C code, like the arrows in the movie 300 will descend upon you if you do, but you will end up in the naughty list of researchers if you don't; for who will analyze your data if YOU drop the ball? But fear not, because Inline::C will save the day and Perl will make the glaCiers melt away. For the last couple of years, I have been using Inline::C to leverage a large amount of C code related to biological sequence (text) analysis for my research work. Our group has been using portable sequencing technologies by Oxford Nanopore to measure RNA molecules in real-time as markers of kidney disease progression. The problem we are facing is that understanding the data is not trivial, and many traditional bioinformatic workflows need considerable adaptation to work. Often, one has to combine exotic pieces of code that is available in C libraries into complex workflows that are non standard and require one to use the power of Perl to glue them together. Let's C how Inline::C can help us with the mess. # ⚓ Perl Data Language ☛ Day_16:_These_are_Testing_Times, Indeed!_-_PDL_Advent_calendar_2024⠀⇛ There are bales of decorative paper Markov chains that have gotten tangled, so we're going to square things away by multiplying orthogonal matrices and checking the results with Tests.

We will explore how these dashboards can help system administrators manage virtual machines (VMs) more efficiently, especially in large, distributed Red_Hat_OpenShift environments. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2068 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/17/Rspamd_3_11_Brings_Modernized_Elasticsearch_Integration.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/17/Rspamd_3_11_Brings_Modernized_Elasticsearch_Integration.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Rspamd 3.11 Brings Modernized Elasticsearch Integration⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 17, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Rspamd_3.11⦈_ Quoting: Rspamd 3.11 Brings Modernized Elasticsearch Integration — Over two months after its previous 3.10 release, Rspamd, a free and open-source advanced spam filtering system widely recognized for its efficiency and flexibility in managing email spam through various modules and algorithms, released its latest update, 3.11. Favored for its performance and low resource usage, it is typically used with MTAs like Postfix or Exim to provide real-time spam filtering as a highly efficient solution in the ongoing battle against spam. Perhaps the most noteworthy advancement in the new version is the comprehensive overhaul of its Elasticsearch and OpenSearch integration. Now supporting Elasticsearch 8 and OpenSearch 2, this update embraces a more future-proof approach.

While these challenges are significant, live patching offers a practical solution to reduce downtime and improve operational efficiency. * ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ CISA_lays_out_how_agencies,_industry_should respond_to_major_cyber_incidents⠀⇛ The draft national cyber incident response plan comes eight years after the last update, and more than six years after the creation of CISA itself. * ⚓ OpenSSF (Linux Foundation) ☛ SigstoreCon_2024:_Advancing_Software Supply_Chain_Security [Ed: This isn't about security, it's about monopoly; this group is a front for colonisers in "security" clothing]⠀⇛ On November 12, 2024, the software security community gathered in Salt Lake City for SigstoreCon: Supply Chain Day, co-located with KubeCon North America 2024. The one-day conference brought together developers, maintainers, and security experts to explore how Sigstore is transforming software supply chain security through simplified signing and verification of digital artifacts. * ⚓ Survey_Surfaces_Raft_of_Cloud_Native_Application_Security_Challenges [Ed: They make money out of their own FUD; this is marketing with conflict of interest]⠀⇛ Venafi, a unit of CyberArk, today published a survey of 800 security and IT decision-makers in the U.S. and Europe finds 86% of respondents work for organizations that have experienced a security incident involving their cloud-native application environment within the last year. * ⚓ antiX Linux ☛ AntiX_Kernel_upgrades_available⠀⇛ Users are strongly recommended to update to one of the latest available antiX kernels. * ⚓ SequoiaPGP ☛ Sequoia_PGP:_A_Sapling_Matures:_Meet_sq_1.0⠀⇛ The Sequoia PGP team is happy to announce the release of version 1.0 of sq. sq is a command-line tool for working with OpenPGP artifacts with a focus on usability, security, and robustness. After seven_years_of_development, this is sq’s first stable release. A notable change for existing users of sq is that we will no longer change sq’s CLI in an incompatible manner. * ⚓ LWN ☛ A_sapling_matures:_meet_sq_1.0⠀⇛ The Sequoia_PGP project has announced version 1.0 of the sq command-line tool for managing OpenPGP encryption and signatures. It also provides a decentralized public_key infrastructure (PKI), and key management facilities. This is the first stable release since development began on the project in 2017. * ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ Short-Lived_Certificates_Coming_to_Let’s_Encrypt⠀⇛ Starting next_year: Our longstanding offering won’t fundamentally change next year, but we are going to introduce a new offering that’s a big shift from anything we’ve done before—short-lived certificates. Specifically, certificates with a lifetime of six days. This is a big upgrade for the security of the TLS ecosystem because it minimizes exposure time during a key compromise event. * § PCLinuxOS⠀➾ o ⚓ PCLOS Official ☛ PCLinuxOS_Recent_Updates⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2266 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/17/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/17/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 17, 2024, updated Dec 17, 2024 * ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ PHP_backdoor_looks_to_be_work_of_Chinese-linked_APT group⠀⇛ Known as Glutton, researchers at QiAnXin’s XLab believe Winnti is responsible for the malware. * § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾ o ⚓ Wired ☛ Hackers_Can_Jailbreak_Digital_License_Plates_to_Make Others_Pay_Their_Tolls_and_Tickets⠀⇛ Worse still, Rodriguez points out that a jailbroken license plate can be changed not just to an arbitrary number but also to the number of another vehicle—whose driver would then receive the malicious user's tickets and toll bills. “If you can change the license plate number whenever you want, you can cause some real problems,” Rodriguez says. * § Confidentiality⠀➾ o ⚓ Let's Encrypt ☛ A_Note_from_our_Executive_Director_-_Let's Encrypt⠀⇛ Because we’ve done so much to encourage automation over the past decade, most of our subscribers aren’t going to have to do much in order to switch to shorter lived certificates. We, on the other hand, are going to have to think about the possibility that we will need to issue 20x as many certificates as we do now. It’s not inconceivable that at some point in our next decade we may need to be prepared to issue 100,000,000 certificates per day. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2326 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/17/System76_Refreshes_Their_AMD_Powered_Pangolin_Linux_Laptop_with.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/17/System76_Refreshes_Their_AMD_Powered_Pangolin_Linux_Laptop_with.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ System76 Refreshes Their AMD-Powered Pangolin Linux Laptop with 2K Display⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Dec 17, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇System76_Pangolin⦈_ It’s been ten months since the AMD-only Pangolin laptop received an update, in February 2023, which added an AMD Ryzen 7 6800U processor with AMD Radeon 680M integrated graphics, a 144Hz Full HD display, DDR5 RAM options, and PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD storage.

MOTD is a simple text file in a GNU/Linux system that displays a custom text message on login using the command line locally or SSH. * ⚓ Kubernetes Blog ☛ Enhancing_Kubernetes_API_Server_Efficiency_with_API Streaming⠀⇛ Managing Kubernetes clusters efficiently is critical, especially as their size is growing. A significant challenge with large clusters is the memory overhead caused by list requests. In the existing implementation, the kube-apiserver processes list requests by assembling the entire response in-memory before transmitting any data to the client. But what if the response body is substantial, say hundreds of megabytes? Additionally, imagine a scenario where multiple list requests flood in simultaneously, perhaps after a brief network outage. While API_Priority_and_Fairness has proven to reasonably protect kube-apiserver from CPU overload, its impact is visibly smaller for memory protection. This can be explained by the differing nature of resource consumption by a single API request - the CPU usage at any given time is capped by a constant, whereas memory, being uncompressible, can grow proportionally with the number of processed objects and is unbounded. This situation poses a genuine risk, potentially overwhelming and crashing any kube-apiserver within seconds due to out-of-memory (OOM) conditions. To better visualize the issue, let's consider the below graph. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ I_think_Go_union_type_proposals_should_start with_their_objectives⠀⇛ At this point I've skimmed a number of relatively serious union type proposals for Go (which is to say, people who were serious enough to write something substantial in the Go issue tracker). One of the feelings I've wound up with as a result of this is that any such union type proposal should probably start out by describing what its objectives are, not what its proposed syntax is. * ⚓ Markup from Hell ☛ You_don’t_need_the_isOpen_class⠀⇛ One of the principles of web accessibility is to be perceivable. That means not relying exclusively on one sense, like sight, to provide information. In the above case, if I can’t see the content being shown or hidden, how do I know my button click did anything? ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2728 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/17/today_s_howtos.2.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/17/today_s_howtos.2.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 17, 2024 * ⚓ Make Tech Easier ☛ How_to_Build_a_NAS_Server_with_Raspberry_Pi_And Samba⠀⇛ You can easily build a NAS server with your Raspberry Pi.

This year, I had the privilege of attending the summit hosted at Red Hat India Pvt. Ltd., Bengaluru, from December 6 to December 8, 2024, as a hybrid event—welcoming both in- person attendees and virtual participants via the Big Blue Button platform. With two distinct tracks, the event featured an incredible lineup of sessions and discussions. Here’s a glimpse into my personal highlights and takeaways from this remarkable gathering. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Ubuntu News ☛ Ubuntu_Weekly_Newsletter_Issue_870⠀⇛ Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue 870 for the week of December 8 – 14, 2024.

This event marked the first time State of the Word was hosted in Asia, reflecting the platform's growing global reach. o § FSF⠀➾ # ⚓ Free Software Foundation ☛ IDAD_2024_-_Dec._20:_For freedom,_against_restriction⠀⇛ Eighteen years after the Defective_by_Design campaign's inception, we're still continuing the fight against Digital_Restrictions_Management (DRM), the practice of imposing technological restrictions that control what users can do with digital media -- and won't back down until we've won. For our eighteenth International_Day_Against DRM (IDAD), we're targeting an issue that thousands of computer users around the world will face, whether they know it yet or not. As Abusive Monopolist Microsoft has decided to end the life of Windows 10, one of everyone's least favorite nonfree software developers has mandated the use of a hardware TPM for those who want to downgrade to backdoored Windows 11, an unnecessary module that will send thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of perfectly functioning machines to your local landfill, potentially setting back e-waste reduction efforts for years. This doesn't need to happen. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 3049 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 38 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
