At that time, I happened to be the president of my University LUG: LouvainLiNux. LouvainLiNux was founded a few years before by Fabien Pinckaers, Anthony Lesuisse and Benjamin Henrion as an informal group of friends. After they graduated and left university, Fabien handled me all the archives, all the information and told me do continue the work while he was running his company that would, much later, becomes Odoo. With my friend Bertrand Rousseau, we decided to make Louvain-Li-Nux a formal and enduring organisation known as "KAP" (Kot-à-Projet). Frédéric Minne designed the logo by putting the student hat ("calotte") of Fabien on a penguin clipart.

It was great for those (like myself) who enjoyed messing around for hours but attempting to convince others to give it a go over their favorite OS was a difficult task, largely due to all the annoyances that came with most Linux-based distros, including Ubuntu. It's a completely different story today with many of the leading Linux distros offering far superior experiences than years past. Things are on more of an even playing field with Windows. Although we're not quite there yet, here are some ways Linux is less infuriating.

As usual for Alpine Linux, 3.21 follows closely upon the release of a new LTS kernel version. Kernel 6.12 was declared the new LTS on December 5, and this version of Alpine was announced the same day (see the bootnote for more information). Alpine 3.21 has a raft of other updates along with the kernel: updated development tools including .NET 9, and new desktops including KDE Plasma 6.2, LXQt 2.1, and GNOME 47 (although gnome- software has been held back due to issues in handling Alpine's apk packaging format). In 2021, Alpine 3.15 dropped MIPS64 support, but since then it's been adding new CPU architectures instead. The version before this one, Alpine 3.20, added RISC-V back in May.

Their battle with Linux stretches back many years. Back in 2001, former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer famously tarnished Linux “a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches”. Microsoft also initiated its “Get the Facts” marketing campaign from mid-2003, which specifically criticized Linux server usage, total cost of ownership, security, indemnification and reliability. The campaign was widely criticized for spreading misinformation.

Mostly because printers are… printers. But after discovering that it works well on my wife’s Slackware Linux laptop (better than on Windows 10), I decided to give it a try using OpenBSD. This compact printer has various communication options: a USB plug, an Ethernet port and a Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n module. It is also compatible with Apple AirPrint. Mine is connected to a WiFi 6 network. An important thing I learned is that this printer talks SPL. More on this at the end of the post. * ⚓ FreeBSD ☛ Why_FreeBSD_Should_Be_the_Foundation_for_Your_Security Product⠀⇛ As you already know, choosing the right technology stack is critical to building secure, reliable, and future-proof products. While Linux is often the default choice for open- source operating systems, it’s not the only option—and it may not be the best one. FreeBSD offers unique advantages that align with the priorities of security-focused organizations, providing a strong, stable foundation for your product’s success. * ⚓ Luke S ☛ Running_NetBSD_on_IBM_ThinkPad_380Z⠀⇛ I evaluated a bunch of contemporary operating systems, including different variants of BSD and Linux. Usually, the experience was underwhelming in terms of performance, hardware support and stability. Well... except for NetBSD, which gave me such perfectly smooth ride, that I thought it was worth sharing. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 418 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/18/Cheers_to_5_Years_of_openSUSE_Bar.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/18/Cheers_to_5_Years_of_openSUSE_Bar.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Cheers to 5 Years of openSUSE Bar⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 18, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇suse_logo⦈_ Quoting: Cheers to 5 Years of openSUSE Bar - openSUSE News — The openSUSE community will celebrate the 5-year anniversary of the openSUSE Bar on Dec. 19.

For this issue of the Free Software Bulletin, we wanted to revisit the Free Software Foundation's (FSF) organizational history; talk about some of the challenges that we've been encountering on a regular basis; and how important it is that our societies respect user freedom at every level. Every year since 2002 (and if you count the GNU Bulletin, the predecessor of this periodical, even since 1986!), we've published a compilation of articles discussing free software issues, why we use and love free software, and how you can participate in the movement in our biannual newsletter, the Free Software Bulletin. We're happy to announce that our forty-fifth issue, the Fall 2024 edition, of the Free Software Bulletin is now available online for you and everyone who cares about to freedom to read, talk about, and share over email and microblog.

That's not to say they don't exist, but they are hard to find. One such distribution is OpenMandriva (officially, OpenMandriva Lx), which is a community version of the once-heralded Mandriva (which was based on the long-since-dead Mandrake Linux). Mandrake was a very special take on Linux because it had one very important goal: make Linux easy to use for all. That ethos was passed down to Mandriva and then to OpenMandriva, and it shows.

Beyond the usual concerns for the user interface, there's also security to take into consideration. I've been using Linux for nearly thirty years, and I've only had one serious security issue in that time (a rootkit injected into a server I adopted). Other than that, it's been smooth sailing. You've probably heard that Linux is more secure than Windows. If not, I'm here to tell you that it is. But what makes Linux so much more secure than Windows -- and how do the operating systems differ when it comes to security? Let me offer a few items to help you understand these differences.

Did you know you could choose the search engine of your choice right from your Firefox URL bar? Whether you prioritize privacy, climate protection, or simply want a search experience tailored to your preferences, we’ve got you covered. Ecosia goes beyond data protection by addressing environmental concerns. Every search made through the search engine contributes to tree-planting projects worldwide, helping to combat deforestation and regenerate the planet. Ecosia planted over 215 million trees, across the planet biodiversity hotspots, making a tangible difference in the fight against climate change. Just like Mozilla, they are committed to creating a better internet, and world, for everyone. Together, Mozilla, Firefox and Ecosia are contributing to a web that is more open and inclusive, but above all — one where you can make an informed choice about what tech you use and why.

Building chips that run faster and use less power, while continuing to support 3.3V I/O, presents real, exciting challenges. Our solution was to split the main SoC (System on Chip) in two — the compute half, and the I/ O half — and put a fast interconnect (4-lane PCIe Gen 3) between them. The SoC on Raspberry Pi 5 is the Broadcom BCM2712, and the I/O processor (which used to be known in the PC world as the ‘southbridge’) is Raspberry Pi RP1. * ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ Framework_13_AMD_Review_on_Linux:_Almost_Perfect⠀⇛ Following our review of the Framework Intel 12th gen laptop last year, we are giving a spin to the Framework Laptop AMD 13 that features one of the latest AMD processors, and a brand new screen as well, at 2.8K resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate.

The na.rm parameter is one of R’s most essential features for managing NA values in your data. This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about using na.rm effectively in your R programming journey. * ⚓ Michael Tsai ☛ Issues_Adopting_Swift_Testing⠀⇛ Although Swift Testing supports structs, you can also use classes as suites of tests. So I can still use a common base class that provides standard functionality for all my tests. Each project has a subclass with its own test data and project- specific functionality, and sometimes I have more layers for groups of tests that have lots of common setup. It seems like this architecture will continue to work, and it’s much nicer with Swift Testing because I can do the setup in init() instead of having to override func setUpWithError(). With XCTest, I also always had to override func tearDownWithError() to clear out property values because otherwise they would still exist while the next test ran. Swift Testing, as far as I know, does not have this problem, so I can rely on deinit to clear out the properties automatically and only override it when I need to do more than that. * ⚓ James G ☛ Advent_of_Patterns:_Diffs⠀⇛ A “diff” shows the difference between two states of a document. You can use a diff to understand what has been added, changed, removed, and moved within a document Diffs are often accompanied by metadata such as who made each change in a document, when the change was made, and an identifier that refers to a checkpoint of the document when a change was made (i.e. a wiki history, a Git commit). * ⚓ Lee Briggs ☛ The_Death_of_Developer_Relations⠀⇛ While I usually leave these events motivated and energized, something this year was different — marked by a noticeable absence. I could count on one hand the number of conversations I had with anyone in Developer Relations (DevRel) - whether they were community builders, developer advocates, or part of any similar role. * ⚓ Brian Callahan ☛ Let's_cross_compile_from_FreeBSD/amd64_to_macOS/ aarch64⠀⇛ I have a mini PC that I bought back in May. It's an OK machine for the price. It's a little more OK of a machine for me since I got it for about $100. At the moment it runs FreeBSD 14.2 and acts as a home NAS. It was cheap, it is low power, and with a 1 TB Samsung T7 SSD it meets my needs. Honestly, it is my favorite type of hardware: something that gets out of my way and lets me do the things I want to do. Incidentally, this is also why I like FreeBSD and ZFS for running a NAS. * ⚓ Chris Ferris ☛ Farris's_Three_Laws_of_Auto_Remediation⠀⇛ I’ve finally settled on the wording for Farris’s Three Laws of Cloud Security Auto Remediation: • A bot must never harm stateful data or allow stateful data to come to harm. • A bot must act with utmost haste so functionality doesn’t become dependent on a misconfiguration. • A bot must announce its existence and tell a carbon-based life form what it did and why. I think these reflect the key tenants of auto-remediation while staying true to the original source of the Three Laws. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ How_to_Use_na.omit_in_R:_A_Comprehensive_Guide_to_Handling Missing_Values⠀⇛ Missing values are a common challenge in data analysis. In R programming, the na.omit() function serves as a powerful tool for handling these missing values, represented as “NA” (Not Available). This comprehensive guide will walk you through various techniques for managing NA values effectively in your R programming projects. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Jeff Triplett ☛ 🤷_Why_do_the_Django_and_Python_communities_use_so many_Google_Forms?⠀⇛ Getting data in and out of Django isn’t hard, but why isn’t it as easy as using Google Forms?

For example, in 2024, pro-Russia hacktivists manipulated HMIs at water and wastewater systems, causing water pumps and blower equipment to exceed their normal operating parameters,” the two agencies say. o ⚓ Security Week ☛ Texas_Tech_University_Data_Breach_Impacts_1.4 Million_People⠀⇛ Interlock was initially detailed in September, targeting organizations in the healthcare, government, manufacturing, and technology sectors in the US and Europe, engaging in double-extortion tactics and lingering in victims’ networks for weeks before deploying file-encrypting ransomware. However, Interlock is not the only ransomware group to claim an attack on Texas Tech University. In July, the Meow ransomware group was offering for sale five SQL databases allegedly containing emails, passwords, and other sensitive information from the university, along with a security vulnerability affecting the institution’s website. o ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Clop_is_back_to_wreak_havoc_via_vulnerable file-transfer_software⠀⇛ Clop has claimed responsibility for attacks tied to vulnerabilities in software made by Cleo, an Illinois- based IT company that sells various types of enterprise software. The vulnerabilities, which affected Cleo’s LexiCom, VLTrader, and Harmony products, have led to worries that sensitive data across various industries could be swiped by the group in a repeat of some of the most damaging security incidents of the past few years. o ⚓ Cyble Inc ☛ Telecom_Namibia_Cyberattack:_400,000_Files_Leaked⠀⇛ The cyberattack on Telecom Namibia was allegedly carried out by a notorious ransomware group known as Hunters International. This ransomware-as-a-service operation was able to exfiltrate 626.3GB of data, including 492,633 files, before threatening to release the stolen information unless their ransom demands were met, reported the New Era newspaper. Once the ransom deadline passed, hundreds of sensitive customer records, including personal identification details, addresses, and banking information, were leaked and began circulating on social media. o ⚓ Enterprise Security Tech ☛ Rhode_Island’s_Public_Assistance System_Breached_by_Brain_Cipher_Ransomware_Attack⠀⇛ Brain Cipher, a ransomware group that surfaced in June 2024, has quickly become a formidable player in the cybercrime landscape. Leveraging tools like the leaked LockBit 3.0 ransomware builder, the group is known for sophisticated, double-extortion tactics, which combine data theft with system encryption. o ⚓ Nexstar Media Group Inc ☛ Ransomware_group_Brain_Cipher_behind_RI cyberattack;_claims_1_TB_of_data_stolen⠀⇛ At the time, Deloitte quickly told news outlets that its own internal systems hadn’t been breached, though one of its clients’ systems had. But it wasn’t until Monday, when Target 12 asked directly, that the company confirmed Brain Cipher had compromised RIBridges. o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Deloitte_handling_'major'_cyberattack_on_Rhode Island_system⠀⇛ RIBridges is the online portal through which Rhode Islanders apply and determine their eligibility for social services and benefits. Deloitte notified the state of a "major security threat" to the system on Friday, December 13. o ⚓ PC World ☛ Windows_Outlook_app_is_having_login_troubles,_throws up_an_error_code⠀⇛ Outlook has been experiencing problems on Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers for days now, probably starting as early as December 2nd. It’s been reported by affected users across various forums and in Microsoft’s Feedback Hub that when users try to log into Outlook, the app issues error code 0x80049dd3. * § Confidentiality⠀➾ o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ We_have_an_unusual_concern_when_we_use Let's_Encrypt⠀⇛ One of the bits of recent TLS news is that Let's Encrypt is going to start offering 6-day TLS certificates. When I was thinking about my reaction to this, I realized that we have some unusual concerns that make me more nervous than average about getting Let's Encrypt TLS certificates with such short lifetimes. o ⚓ SequoiaPGP ☛ Blog_-_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. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1791 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/18/The_3_most_Windows_like_Linux_distros_you_can_try_because_chang.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/18/The_3_most_Windows_like_Linux_distros_you_can_try_because_chang.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ The 3 most Windows-like Linux distros you can try because change is hard⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 18, 2024 Quoting: The 3 most Windows-like Linux distros you can try because change is hard | ZDNET — Windows 10's end of life is coming in 2025 and that means you have to hope your machine can run Windows 11, buy a new computer, or try something different -- like Linux. Linux shouldn't be considered a last-choice alternative, either, because it's every bit equal to Windows or MacOS. It's reliable, secure, user-friendly, and free. What more do you want? I know: You want an operating system that looks and feels like Windows 10. That makes perfect sense because you've been using Microsoft's OS for a long time and change is often hard.

options that help database administrators (DBAs) track various aspects of MySQL performance, troubleshoot issues, and optimize server configurations. * ⚓ How_to_Install_Zabbix_Server_on_Ubuntu_24.04_(Noble_Numbat)⠀⇛ Zabbix is an open-source enterprise-class monitoring software that tracks the performance and availability of servers, network devices, and applications in real-time. It uses a server-client model, where the central system needs the Zabbix server installed and the systems being monitored require the Zabbix agent. * ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ Install_XFCE_4.20_in_(X)Ubuntu_24.04_&_24.10_[For Testing_Only]⠀⇛ For those who want to try out the new XFCE Desktop 4.20, XUbuntu developer team has made it into experimental PPA for (X)Ubuntu 24.04 and (X)Ubuntu 24.10. XFCE 4.20 is the new major release of the popular lightweight GNU/Linux desktop. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2142 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/18/today_s_howtos.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/18/today_s_howtos.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 18, 2024 * ⚓ Redowan Delowar ☛ SSH_saga⠀⇛ Setting up SSH access to a new VM usually follows the same routine: generate a key pair, copy it to the VM, tweak some configs, confirm the host’s identity, and maybe set up an agent to avoid typing passphrases all day. Tools like cloud-init and Ansible handle most of the setup for me now, so I rarely think about it. But I realized I don’t fully understand how all the parts work together. This post attempts to give an overview of what happens when you type ssh user@host. It covers key pairs, authorized_keys, sshd_config, ~/.ssh/config, known_hosts, and how they all fit together. * ⚓ Amit Patel ☛ Hexagon_page_animations⠀⇛ SVG2 added a feature in 2016 specifically to solve the problem of rotated text: vector-effect: non-rotation. Caniuse shows it being supported, and the MDN page shows it as supported. However when I tested it back in 2018, and again in 2024, it didn’t work anywhere. There’s a Chrome Bug that says the non- rotation value is unimplemented since 2017, and a Firefox bug that says they won’t implement it unless Chrome does (probably because developers won’t use all the features Firefox has implemented that Chrome didn’t). So I can’t use this feature. I wanted to use CSS transitions back then, but browser features and bugs back then limited what I could do. Since 2018, browsers have adopted lots of new features, and many bugs have been fixed. I decided to try using CSS transitions again. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Anbox_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS⠀⇛ Running Android applications on a GNU/Linux system has become increasingly popular, especially among developers and tech enthusiasts. Anbox, short for “Android in a Box,” allows you to run Android apps natively on your GNU/Linux operating system without the overhead of traditional emulators. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Zabbix_on_AlmaLinux_9⠀⇛ Zabbix is a powerful open-source monitoring solution that provides real-time monitoring of servers, networks, and applications. As IT infrastructure grows increasingly complex, the need for robust monitoring tools becomes essential. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_FreeRADIUS_on_Debian_12⠀⇛ FreeRADIUS is one of the most widely used RADIUS servers in the world, providing a robust solution for network authentication, authorization, and accounting. As organizations increasingly rely on secure access to their networks, understanding how to install and configure FreeRADIUS on Debian 12 becomes essential. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Zabbix_on_openSUSE⠀⇛ In today’s digital landscape, efficient monitoring of IT infrastructure is crucial for maintaining system performance and reliability. Zabbix, a powerful open- source monitoring solution, enables organizations to track the health and performance of their servers, networks, and applications. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Java_on_CentOS_Stream_10⠀⇛ Java is one of the most widely used programming languages in the world, powering a vast array of applications from web servers to mobile apps. For developers and system administrators, knowing how to install Java on CentOS Stream 10 is essential. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_VMware_Workstation_on_Linux_Mint_22⠀⇛ Virtualization has become an essential tool for developers, system administrators, and tech enthusiasts. It allows users to run multiple operating systems on a single physical machine, making it easier to test applications, manage servers, and explore new environments without the need for additional hardware. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Cockpit_on_Linux_Mint_22⠀⇛ Managing a GNU/Linux server can be a daunting task, especially for those who prefer a graphical interface over the command line. Fortunately, Cockpit provides an intuitive web-based interface that simplifies system management. * ⚓ nixCraft ☛ How_to_run_Docker_inside_Incus_containers⠀⇛ Incus and Docker both use GNU/Linux kernel features to containerize your applications. Incus is best suited when you need system-level containers that act like traditional VMs and provide a persistent developer experience. On the other hand, Docker containers are ephemeral, i.e., temporary in nature. All files created inside Docker containers are lost when your Docker container is stopped or removed unless you stored them using volumes in different directories outside Docker. Docker is created as a disposable app deployment system. Incus containers are not typically created as disposables, and data is kept inside when they are stopped. * ⚓ How_to_Install_Vim_on_AlmaLinux_9_or_Rocky_Linux⠀⇛ If you’re working on AlmaLinux 9, especially on servers or in a terminal-only environment, Vim is one of the best tools you can have. It’s fast, lightweight, and available on nearly every GNU/Linux system. * ⚓ How_to_Install_Tar_on_AlmaLinux_9_or_Rocky_GNU/Linux_to_Extract_Tarball Files⠀⇛ Tar is one of Linux’s most popular archive formats for compressed files. Hence, if you are using a GNU/Linux distro such as Almalinux, RedHat, Ubuntu, CentOS, Rocky, Oracle Linux, etc., installing the Tar package on your system becomes essential. * ⚓ Linux Cloud VPS ☛ How_to_Install_TeamSpeak_on_Ubuntu_24.04⠀⇛ TeamSpeak is a communication application that uses VOIP (voice- over-Internet protocol) technology to allow users to communicate with others through the Internet. When using TeamSpeak, the user’s computer will automatically connect to the TeamSpeak server through the TeamSpeak client. Users can immediately communicate with other users. The main target of the TeamSpeak application itself is gamers. * ⚓ TechRepublic ☛ How_to_Check_SSD_Health_in_Linux⠀⇛ Do you use GNU/Linux machines in your data center? If so, it's probably a good idea to regularly check the health of the SSD drives used on those machines. Here's how to do it. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2330 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/18/Videos_Audiocasts_Shows_LibreOffice_mintCast_LF_openSUSE_and_Wo.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/18/Videos_Audiocasts_Shows_LibreOffice_mintCast_LF_openSUSE_and_Wo.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Videos/Audiocasts/Shows: LibreOffice, mintCast, LF, openSUSE, and Wordpress⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 18, 2024 * ⚓ Document Foundation ☛ 24_more_videos_from_the_LibreOffice_Conference 2024!⠀⇛ We’ve finished editing and uploading another batch of videos from our recent conference in Luxembourg.
