It would take Techrights over a year to adopt the same SSG, which matured over time (bugs removed along the way and new functionality added). Last night Tux Machines added the_29,000th_page, which means that some time next month it'll reach 30,000 (not counting about 170,000 pages in the "old" site). This means that we now have about 200,000 nodes in total. It took 20.5 years. █ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣴⣻⣿⣯⠀⠀⠈⣿⠿⣦⡀⠈⠛⠁⠩⡽⡋⣍⣄⠀⠀⠈⢿⢅⠀⠀⠀⠘⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡆⠀⠀⢹⢠⣯⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠴⠊⠁⠀⠐⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣾⣿⣿⣽⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣇⣨⣿⣦⡀⠡⣀⠀⠇⠉⠸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠃⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⡄⠀⠘⠘⡽⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⡶ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠌⢷⢯⠠⡜⡻⢹⡄⠀⠀⠸⣿⣟⣿⣮⡛⠢⠈⠺⣿⣀⡀⢂⡀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠠⡄⠀⠀⠀⠢⣄⠀⠀⠁⣷⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠻⢂⠤⡶⠟⠛⠋⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠓⠀⠰⠯⠁⣦⣾⣿⡀⠀⠀⢻⡿⣿⣿⡷⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⢷⣿⣷⣼⣧⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣦⠀⠀⢻⣶⠀⢠⢤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⣼⣿⢿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠛⣿⣿⢂⣸⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣯⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠊⠀⠀⠀⠉⢠⠀⠈⢿⠁⢠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠌⢹⣾⢿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣆⠳⣄⠀⠀⠙⢿⠼⠻⠆⠀⠀⠀⢢⣔⣠⣦⣼⣶⣶⣮⣬⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⣉⣧⠀⠘⣄⠙⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣷⣜⡳⣄⠀⠀⠀⢎⢉⠃⠀⠀⢴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣿⣿⣷⣄⠈⠳⣌⡹⣿⣟⠿⣿⣿⣷⣎⠳⠀⠀⠀⠉⠣⢔⣢⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣤⡃⢘⢻⣿⣤⣿⣇⠀⠻⣧⣮⡐⠀⣵⣿⡿⠻⠃⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠙⢿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣇⢀⣙⣿⣿⣛⡟⢶⡦⠌⠁⢀⣀⡉⠻⠆⠐⣷⣴⣷⡈⠻⡄⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣄⠈⠀⠈⣶⡈⠰⣤⡙⢍⣧⠄⠀⠺⡷⠍⠁⠂⠈⠲⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢺⣿⣦⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⡦⡞⣧⡆⠹⠿⠗⠈⠘⡆⠀⠈⠀⠘⠇⠐⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡇⢘⣿⡄⠀⠐⠀⢢⡀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⡶⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⢰⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣃⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠄⠚ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣯⣀⣄⣀⣀⡀⠴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⡿⠋⠁⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠊⠽⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠰⠶⠤⠀⣀⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣋⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣤⣶⣶⣶⣤⣤⡀⠀⠉⠙⠯⠅⠈⠿⡇⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⠆⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠁⠁⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣻⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠛⠋⠁⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠉⠙⢿⣿⠿⠋⠀⠙⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢫⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠞⠈⠀⠘⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠁⠜⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 138 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/24/A_Brief_History_of_FAI_Which_Began_25_Years_Ago.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/24/A_Brief_History_of_FAI_Which_Began_25_Years_Ago.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ A Brief History of FAI, Which Began 25 Years Ago⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 24, 2024 Quoting: Happy Birthday FAI! — Some months before, the computer science department of the University of Cologne bought a small HPC cluster with 16 nodes (each with dual CPU Pentium II 400Mhz, 256 MB RAM) and I was too lazy to install those nodes manually. That's why I started the FAI project. With FAI you can install computers in a few minutes from scratch to a machine with a custom configuration that is ready to go for their users. At that time Debian 2.1 aka slink was using kernel 2.0.36 and it was the first release using apt. Many things have happened since then. In the beginning we wrote the first technical report about FAI and a lot of documentation were added afterwards. I gave more than 45 talks about FAI all over the world. Over the past 25 years, there has been an average of more than one commit per day to the FAI software repository. Several top500.org HPC clusters were built using FAI and many companies are using FAI for their IT infrastructure or deploying Linux on their products using FAI. An overview of users can be found here. Some major milestones of FAI are listed in the blog post of the 20th anniversary.

Walking through the streets with the warm glow of the fairy lights outside and the houses you pass, welcoming you like a warm hug despite the rain and cold on your face. Of course, that’s my experience of living in the northern hemisphere, but you get the idea. There is something about that strong and exciting sense of closure and new beginnings that hangs in the air. It is the sense of closure that gives us the urge to be with loved ones, but it is the latter that causes problems for many people. Especially as media and social expectations reinforce the feeling.

We’ll deal more with that anniversary in a year, but for now, it’s worth walking through the final full year of PowerPC Macs. Transitions happen for a reason, and exploring those reasons can tell us a lot about the priorities of the parties involved. o ⚓ Dan Langille ☛ Dell_R730_–_moving_disks_from_front_drive_bay_to PCI_slots_in_r730-03⠀⇛ I’ve been seeing these types of errors for about 4 weeks now. I ordered a replacement drive. When it arrived, I realized I had no free drive bays. When a drive is still functional, I prefer to leave it in the host to retain zpool integrity. Instead, I will add the new drive in, run the zpool replace command, and when completed, remove the faulty drive. I decided to order more Icy Dock PCIe drive bays (link at bottom of page). I have used them in the past and it helps to free up drive bays for 3.5″ devices and move the 2.5″ devices to the rear of the chassis. o ⚓ Fastmail ☛ Dec_22:_Why_we_use_our_own_hardware_at_Fastmail_| Fastmail⠀⇛ There has recently been talk of cloud repatriation where companies are moving from the cloud to on premises, with some particularly noisy examples.

It’s quite easy to do, and so far all the tests I’ve done show high stability of the solution. o ⚓ Arduino ☛ This_autonomous_go-kart_only_needs_a_camera_to_navigate a_workshop_circuit⠀⇛ The machine learning model runs on a laptop, but Blake needed a way for it to control the kart’s steering and throttle. He used three Arduino Nano boards to pull that off. The first just listens to the machine learning model’s serial output for a PWM signal representing the steering angle. It then sends that to the second, which uses that information and the real-time steering angle to control a Cytron motor driver for the steering. The third controls the throttle using an RC car-style circuit. o ⚓ Arduino ☛ See_how_this_homemade_spectrometer_analyzes_substances with_an_Arduino_Mega⠀⇛ His project uses the AS7431 10-channel spectrometer sensor breakout board from Adafruit due to its adequate accuracy and compact footprint. Once it was attached to the clear sample chamber and wired to a connector, Marb got to work on the electromechanical portion of the system. Here, a stepper motor rotates a ring of six LEDs that are driven by a series of N-channel MOSFETs and a decade counter. Each component was then wired into a custom-designed control board, which acts as a shield when attached to the Arduino Mega 2560 below. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 656 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/24/The_best_Linux_distribution_of_2024_is_MacOS_like_but_accessibl.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/24/The_best_Linux_distribution_of_2024_is_MacOS_like_but_accessibl.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ The best Linux distribution of 2024 is MacOS-like but accessible to all⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 24, 2024 Quoting: The best Linux distribution of 2024 is MacOS-like but accessible to all | ZDNET — Ah, 2024.

One thing is for certain: 2024 saw a lot of incredible Linux distributions released. There was a new Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux Mint, Rhino Linux, EndeavorOS, Manjaro, Zorin OS, openSUSE, Nobara, Garuda, and many more, all of which shined in one way or another.

They're there for a reason -- to keep track of what goes on behind the velvet curtain of your operating system. When things go wrong, entries are added to those log files, so you can view them and troubleshoot what's happening. Even when something goes right, valuable information might be tacked onto the end of that log file, which can also be useful. The thing is, Linux keeps a lot of log files. Some are useful to users, while others might not be so helpful. Many apps also install their own log files, so you can troubleshoot a single app. But which log files should you pay attention to, and what are they for? Let's dive in and unpack this.

While of course we all would like to see that, this is a significant challenge for postmarketOS and other Linux Mobile projects that prefer using the mainline Linux kernel and don't use the proprietary Android userspace blobs for interacting with cameras. But as you can guess from the headline, there has been a significant breakthrough: the Pixel 3A and Fairphone 5 both have front and a rear camera working now, and somebody even reported being able to record video on the FP5. One of the two rear cameras of the Pocophone F1 also works now. As you would expect, this is not on-par with Android's implementation yet and some of the media has a bit of a retro appeal at the moment. Nevertheless, this is a major achievement! Thanks to Robert, Richard, Luca, Joel, Alistair as well as the libcamera and Megapixels folks!

To start with, there was the Distribits conference. There's a big ecosystem of tools and projects that are based on git-annex, especially in scientific data management, and this was the first conference focused on that. Basically every talk involved git-annex in some way. It's been a while since I was at a conference where my software was in the center like that -- reminded me of Debconf days. I gave a talk on how git-annex was probably basically feature complete. I have been very busy ever since adding new features to it, because in mapping out git-annex's feature set, I discovered new possibilities. Meeting people and getting a better feel for the shape of that ecosytem, both technically and funding wise, led to several big developments in funding later in the year. Going into the year, I had an ongoing source of funding from several projects at Dartmouth that use git-annex, but after 10 years, some of that was winding up. That all came together in my essentially writing a grant proposal to the OpenNeuro project at Stanford, to spend 6 months building out a whole constellation of features. The summer became a sprint to get it all done. Signficant amounts of very productive design work were done while swimming in the river. That was great.

If you're uncomfortable using the command line or diving down rabbit holes to figure out how to do something that should "just work out of the box," then NixOS is probably not for you. However, that's not to say someone with minimal familiarity with the command line would fail with this distribution. For example, if you only need open-source software, NixOS could be a viable option. If, however, you need apps like Chrome, Slack, and Spotify, you might run into some frustration that will send you packing back to Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or Windows.

Victor Grimwald, his shoulders hunched like a bird of prey, stared out the expansive window of his corner office. Below, the city lights flickered to life, a shimmering expanse of indifferent stars. It had been seven years since this monotonous grayscale had replaced the vibrant hues of life. He swiveled his chair, groaning softly beneath him, and reached for the heavy crystal decanter on his desk. Two glasses flanked it, one perpetually unused, gathering dust like a forgotten tombstone. He poured a generous measure of amber liquid into the other, the ice clinking mournfully against the glass. The scotch burned a familiar path down his throat, a momentary distraction from the gnawing emptiness. He closed his eyes, the image of Marcus Greaves, his long-dead partner, flashing vividly behind his eyelids. Marcus, with his unruly mop of brown hair and that infectious laugh that could fill a room. Marcus, who could turn lines of code into poetry and find joy in the most mundane of tasks. * § Confidentiality⠀➾ o ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Blocked_when_using_a_VPN⠀⇛ This is unfortunately all too common. The number of CAPTCHAs I have to fill out absolutely skyrockets when using my entirely pedestrian WireGuard or OpenVPN connections, across all manner of providers and IP ranges. Despite what those VPN advertisers may suggest, your use of a VPNs is trivial for web server software to detect. This also leads me to suspect that these network security vendors must maintain lists of ranges in use by large VPN providers. I know people who use these services who don’t encounter these problems. It’s… interesting to think about the implications, especially if one is using a commercial VPN provider under the illusion that it offers total privacy. You may be more identifiable than you think. o ⚓ Simon Josefsson ☛ Simon_Josefsson:_OpenSSH_and_Git_on_a_Post- Quantum_SPHINCS+⠀⇛ Are you aware that Git_commits_and_tags may be signed using OpenSSH? Git signatures may be used to improve integrity and authentication of our software supply- chain. Popular signature algorithms include Ed25519, ECDSA and RSA. Did you consider that these algorithms may not be safe if someone builds a post-quantum computer? As you may recall, I have earlier blogged_about_the efficient_post-quantum_key_agreement_mechanism_called Streamlined_NTRU_Prime_and_its_use_in_SSH and I have attempted to promote the conservatively_designed_Classic McEliece_in_a_similar_way, although it remains to be adopted. What post-quantum signature algorithms are available? There is an effort by NIST to standardize post-quantum algorithms, and they have a category for signature algorithms. According to wikipedia,_after_round_three_the selected_algorithms are CRYSTALS-Dilithium, FALCON and SPHINCS+. Of these, SPHINCS+ appears to be a conservative choice suitable for long-term digital signatures. Can we get this to work? Recall that Git uses the ssh-keygen tool from OpenSSH to perform signing and verification. o ⚓ SequoiaPGP ☛ Blog_-_RFC9580_preview_release⠀⇛ The Sequoia PGP team is happy to announce the preview release of version 2.0.0-alpha.0 of sequoia-openpgp. sequoia-openpgp is our low-level crate providing OpenPGP data types and associated machinery o ⚓ Daniel Jakots ☛ Synchronizing_TLS_certificates_across_machines⠀⇛ A while ago, I had the need to synchronize certificates across machines. I was able to answer it using a perhaps uncommon trick which I thought might be worth sharing. Let's say you have one domain for which you want multiple machines answering requests. Of course, you choose to provide that service over TLS (doesn't matter whether it's http or another layer 7 protocol). o ⚓ PC World ☛ The_Zero_Trust_era_is_coming:_What_that_means_for_VPNs and_your_data⠀⇛ In this time of ultimate shareability and interconnectedness, threats can come from any angle—including inside your network. Enter the Zero Trust security framework. By trusting none and verifying all, Zero Trust can make any network, home of business, become Fort Knox. With the old “castle and moat” style of protecting networks going by the wayside, many speculate that VPNs will follow suit. So what does this all mean for the security of your data and will you still be using a VPN in a few years time? Let’s dig in to find out more and see what the future holds for your network security. * § Windows TCO⠀➾ o ⚓ Security Week ☛ LockBit_Ransomware_Developer_Arrested_in_Israel at_Request_of_US⠀⇛ The US Department of Justice has unsealed charges against a man with dual Russian and Israeli nationality accused of being involved in the development of the LockBit ransomware. o ⚓ Security Week ☛ 5.6_Million_Impacted_by_Ransomware_Attack_on Healthcare_Giant_Ascension⠀⇛ Ascension Health is notifying roughly 5.6 million individuals that their personal, medical, and payment information was compromised in a ransomware attack in May 2024. The incident occurred on May 8 and resulted in service disruptions that prompted hospitals around the country to revert to downtime procedures and divert emergency medical services. * § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ How_to_Configure_the_GRUB2_Boot_Loader's_Settings⠀⇛ Ubuntu and most other Linux distributions now use the GRUB2 boot loader. You can change its settings to select a default operating system, set a background image, and choose how long GRUB counts down before automatically booting the default OS. We configured GRUB2 on Ubuntu 24.04.1 here, but the process should be similar for other Linux distributions. You may have customized the original GRUB's settings by editing its menu.lst file in the past, but the process is now different. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1482 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/24/Ultramarine_Linux_40_continues_to_be_one_fine_unofficial_Fedora.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/24/Ultramarine_Linux_40_continues_to_be_one_fine_unofficial_Fedora.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ultramarine Linux 40 continues to be one fine unofficial Fedora Spin⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 24, 2024 Quoting: Ultramarine Linux 40 continues to be one fine unofficial Fedora Spin | ZDNET — In 2023, I reviewed Ultramarine Linux, which was based on Fedora 39, calling it the "desktop of the year." Since then, the developers have released a new version based on Fedora 40 (which is one release behind the official Fedora distribution). This new release vastly improves the documentation experience, fixes numerous bugs, and polishes the distribution to a gleaming, sparkling shine. As with my original review, I opted for the Flagship version, which uses the Budgie desktop. Out of the box, the layout looks and feels instantly familiar and defaults to a dark theme (a practice that has become quite common with many Linux distributions). When I review a Linux distribution (or even an app) that defaults to a dark theme, the first thing I do is configure it for the lighter side of things -- because dark themes and my eyes do not get along well.

And, with all the improvements taking place, we always hope for more the next time. While I have covered some defining moments in the Linux and open source world, it was just the tip of the iceberg. There is a lot that happened in 2024, and accordingly, users (including myself) want to see more things happening. So, in this article, I tell you what I want to see in 2025 for the Linux ecosystem to become a greener garden (without any walls of course 😉) Read_on ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1564 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/24/What_Is_Linux_Mint_and_Why_Would_You_Use_It.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/24/What_Is_Linux_Mint_and_Why_Would_You_Use_It.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ What Is Linux Mint, and Why Would You Use It?⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 24, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇cute_penguin_holding_magnifying_glass⦈_ Quoting: What Is Linux Mint, and Why Would You Use It? — Linux Mint is an operating system (OS) that you can use to replace Windows on your machine, though you could also use it alongside it. It has much the same “feel” as Windows, though it’s a lot more intuitive and also allows you to tweak many more settings to your taste. Within the wild abundance of Linux distros—think of them as flavors of the open-source OS—Linux Mint is based on the same architecture as the much more well-known Ubuntu. It's maintained by a team of volunteers, headed by French computer scientist Clement Lefebvre. The focus of the Linux Mint team is very much on usability. Unlike other Linux distros that leave you to figure out how to use them, Mint offers a lot more handholds. This doesn’t mean you’re restricted like with Windows or, worse yet, macOS, just that there are some guardrails that let you get acquainted with your new OS.

Your trust in ZDNET's recommendations is very important to us, and part of protecting that trust is letting you know when we've gotten something wrong and making it right. During my test period of the Windows-like Wubuntu distribution (which was roughly a week), I had no problems with it. However, after that week passed, something strange happened in the form of a persistent pop-up asking me to enter a product key for PowerTools. Unless I had a key, I could no longer use the Wubuntu desktop. The only way to get a key is to purchase one.
