Both Linux and BSD are open source, Unix-like operating systems, but they're different. Here's what you need to know. § BSD Is Dead, Long Live BSD Linux is a built-from-scratch facsimile of Unix, but BSD is actually descended from Unix. Unix is an operating system developed at Bell Labs in the late 1960s. When two of the Unix lead developers presented a paper at a conference in 1973, interested parties requested copies of their new OS. Because of trade restrictions on AT&T—Bell’s parent company—Bell couldn’t treat Unix as a product with a revenue stream. To side-step the restrictions, Bell distributed copies of Unix as source code and a license, for a very small fee to cover shipping. The University of California, Berkeley was one of many Universities that took up that offer. Ken Thompson, the chief architect of Unix, took a sabbatical from Bell to work as a visiting professor at Berkeley. Along with some graduate students, he worked on adding useful tools and important modifications. Bill Joy, a graduate student who later co-founded Sun Microsystems, made significant contributions, including virtual memory handling, and the TCP/IP networking stack.

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. * ⚓ Sahilister ☛ Sahil_Dhiman:_Debian_Mirrors_Hierarchy⠀⇛ After finding AlmaLinux sync capacity is around 140Gbps at Tier 0 (or Tier 1, however you look at it), I wanted to find source and hierarchy in Debian mirroring systems. There are two main types of mirrors in Debian - Debian package mirrors (for package installs and updates) and Debian CD mirrors (for ISO and others medias). Let’s talk about package mirrors (and it’s hierarchy) first. * ⚓ Russ Allbery ☛ Russ_Allbery:_Dropping_the_git_protocol⠀⇛ Ever since I started converting my free software repositories to Git and hosting them on git.eyrie.org, I've made them available via the Git network protocol (the one that uses git:/ / URLs). This protocol doesn't support TLS or any other form of integrity checking on the wire and has been gently deprecated for some time. Recent changes to git daemon broke the way I was managing permissions for my personal repositories, which meant that the git://git.eyrie.org/ URLs have been broken for several months. Since no one has complained or apparently noticed, this seems like a good excuse to drop support entirely and run one fewer service. All of my personal repositories will continue to be accessible via Git over HTTPS, which is now the standard for anonymous Git checkouts. If the prior URL was git:// git.eyrie.org/area/package.git, the new URL is https:// git.eyrie.org/git/area/package.git. I've updated my web pages accordingly. This protocol provides integrity protection on the wire and a moderate amount of authentication of my server via a Let's Encrypt certificate. * ⚓ Junichi_Uekawa:_Looking_at_my_private_repositories_for_what_language_I wrote.⠀⇛ Looking at my private repositories for what language I wrote.

In one meeting, the council needed to refresh our requirements list to make sure we were asking for the right information at the end of the report. We had initially wanted no recommendation from the investigation team from the report, however as the work continued, it became necessary to change that to needing a recommendation. The investigation team could find no technical blockers to recommend one forge over another, both will require work. This brought about several conversations amongst council members as to whether they already had a preference for one option or the other. It was great conversation and it appeared that once again Forgejo was taking the lead on virtue of their open-source nature. Some of us on the council liked the well documented, and somewhat familiar option of GitLab, but when faced with the reality that sometime in the near future, Fedora may find itself needing to make changes to our git forge, and one option might require money we don’t have, or not allow the changes we might need to make, and we did not want to limit the project in any way. And so, Forgejo galloped on down to the finish line! One pivotal conversation was with the ARC team lead, where they walked the council through a mapping of use cases. This included complexity estimates for the sysadmin and developer work needed to deploy either option.

But if the GNOME desktop (which is the default for Fedora) isn’t your thing, you have options, thanks to the numerous spins that are available. Or you could go with a Linux distribution like Nobara, which is based on Fedora but packed with extra goodness. For example, Nobara ships with all the necessary multimedia codecs, so you can view movies or listen to music without having to install third-party software. Nobara also includes (out of the box) LibreOffice, Firefox, Steam, ProtonPlus, Kate (an advanced text editor), Inkscape, Kamoso (a webcam app), Elisa (a music player) and much more. What’s important about Nobara is that it’s what I like to call a point-and-click Linux distribution, which means everything you do is a point-and-click affair. Even though Nobara includes all of the amazing Linux command-line power, you don’t have to use it, as there’s a GUI for everything you need in this distribution.

Before home computers it might have been a CB Radio, or something like that, but between 1984 and 1995, their big Christmas product was usually some kind of home computer. These were normally announced in July-September, in time to ramp up sales for the Christmas rush. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Raspberry_Pi_Pico_streams_real-time_video_to Nintendo's_Game_boy_Color⠀⇛ Four days ago, YouTuber ChromaLock uploaded a build log of his latest hardware project on his channel.

But while the holiday gadget might have been mildly entertaining in its stock configuration, he quickly realized that what it really needed was an ESP32 retrofit.

It is a compact, streamlined device suitable for tasks ranging “from signal processing and spectrum analysis to communication systems and beyond.” The SignalSDR Pro builds on the Analog Devices AD9361 radio transceiver and the AMD Zync 7020 SoC into a credit-card format reminiscent of Raspberry Pi single-board computers. The Raspberry Pi-sized SDR also features a 40-pin GPIO header for expansion with other hardware components and added functionality. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ STMicro_ST67W611M1_IoT_module_features_Qualcomm_QCC743 SoC_with_Wi-Fi_6,_BLE,_and_802.15.4_radios⠀⇛ ST Microelectronics has introduced the ST67W611M1 IoT module developed in partnership with Qualcomm and integrating the latter’s QCC743 multi-protocol connectivity chip with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3 Low Energy (BLE), Thread-compatible IEEE 802.15.4 connectivity, and support for Matter-over-Wi-Fi. Additionally, it features 4MB of flash storage and provides options for a PCB or external antenna via a uFL connector. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_Pi_Pico_Makes_A_Spectrum_Laptop⠀⇛ There are many retrocomputer emulation projects out there, and given the relative fragility of the original machines as they enter their fifth decade, emulation seems to be the most common way to play 8-bit games. It’s easy enough to load one on your modern computer, but there are plenty of hardware options, too. “The computer we’d have done anything for back in 1983” seems to be a phrase many of them bring to mind, but it’s so appropriate because they keep getting better. Take [Stormbytes1970]’s Pi Pico-powered Sinclair ZX Spectrum mini laptop (Spanish language, Google Translate link), for example. It’s a slightly chunky netbook that’s a ZX Spectrum, and it has a far better keyboard than the original. * ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Broadcom_CEO_Hock_Tan_claims_he_has_no_interest_in buying_Intel⠀⇛ The boss of $1 trillion chipmaking giant Broadcom Inc. has said he’s not interested in trying to acquire struggling rival defective chip maker Intel Corp., as he’s too busy trying to make his company into an artificial intelligence powerhouse. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Sensy32_Board_is_an_ESP32-S3_sensor_platform_with_up_to six_sensors_for_environmental_monitoring_in_IoT_applications⠀⇛ The Sensy32 Board is a compact sensor platform powered by Espressif’s flagship ESP32-S3 WiFi and Bluetooth microcontroller. The development board brings different monitoring devices together on the same PCB for easier integration into IoT ecosystems. It is a multipurpose device with several sensors bundled to measure and monitor ultraviolet light intensity, altitude, pressure, orientation, humidity, temperature, motion, and human presence. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1466 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/25/Parabolic_tool_to_download_web_video_and_audio.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/25/Parabolic_tool_to_download_web_video_and_audio.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Parabolic – tool to download web video and audio⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 25, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇download_icon⦈_ Quoting: Parabolic - tool to download web video and audio - LinuxLinks — We evaluated Parabolic using Manjaro, an Arch-based distro, as well as the wonderful Ubuntu 24.10 distro.

Code forges usually render it directly onto your repo’s main page, so it serves as sort of a secondary, mostly-text-only static webpage for your project. Most of them that I see are startlingly bad because they are missing key data points about the project. Assuming knowledge about things in your reader that they don’t have displays a jarring lack of empathy. You’re really close to your project; most visitors to your README are being exposed to it for the first time and have zero context whatsoever. * ⚓ Dan Langille ☛ Converting_a_subversion_repo_to_git⠀⇛ This is not finished. It has been posted for review. When this paragraph is gone, the post is finished. I’ve wanted to convert my subversion repos to git for years. It’s never been a high priority. But here we go. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Calling_C++_functions_from_R_using_Rcpp⠀⇛ If you are an R/RStudio user and you are learning C/C++ then this blog post may be interesting. Suppose that you’ve written a function in C/C++ (or even a whole program). You know how to run your code from the command line, passing in arguments and so on. However, this is not necessarily very convenient. Wouldn’t it be nice to have your C/C++ functionality available in R? Well you can. In a few easy steps (using Rcpp) you can make your C/C++ functions available in R/RStudio. This blog post describes the steps required. I won’t dwell too much on the technicalities. The details are covered elsewhere: Rcpp. What I’m interested in here is setting up an Rcpp package that can call C++ functions from R/RStudio. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ How_to_Transform_Data_in_R_(Log,_Square_Root,_Cube_Root)⠀⇛ Data transformation is a fundamental technique in statistical analysis and data preprocessing. When working with R, understanding how to properly transform data can help meet statistical assumptions, normalize distributions, and improve the accuracy of your analyses. This comprehensive guide will walk you through implementing and visualizing the most common data transformations in R: logarithmic, square root, and cube root transformations, using only base R functions. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Launch_RStudio,_Positron,_and_other_Data_Science_apps_from_your Finder_Toolbar⠀⇛ Have you ever wanted to be able to quickly open a Data Science app, say RStudio Desktop or Positron in the current Finder window at the click of a button? We’ll see how to achieve this by creating Automator apps. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Should_you_Submit_Papers_before_Christmas?_Submission Percentages_across_Months_of_the_Year⠀⇛ The argument sounds reasonable enough: Everyone is trying to wrap up projects before the end of the year, so the number of submissions in December is significantly higher than in earlier months. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Version_1.3.0_of_NIMBLE_released⠀⇛ We’ve released the newest version of NIMBLE on CRAN and on our website. NIMBLE is a system for building and sharing analysis methods for statistical models, especially for hierarchical models and computationally-intensive methods (such as MCMC, Laplace approximation, and SMC). o § Perl / Raku⠀➾ # ⚓ Perl ☛ What's_new_on_CPAN_-_November_2024⠀⇛ Welcome to “What’s new on CPAN”, a curated look at last month’s new CPAN uploads for your reading and programming pleasure.

The new survey is off to a pretty slow start - less than 200 responses in the first week. It will likely stay open till the end of January, so I hope we are going to get 500+ responses in total this around time as well. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ The_life_changing_magic_of_tidying_text_files⠀⇛ Our team have been doing some work with the Scotland Census 2022 data. There are several ways to download the information – you can click around on maps or use a table builder to focus on specifics, or there is a large zip download that provides all the data in CSV format. You end up with 71 files, with around 46K rows and a variable number of columns. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Introducing_the_{pipeflow}_package⠀⇛ Efficiently managing complex data analysis workflows can be a challenge. In standard R programming, chaining functions, tracking intermediate results, and maintaining dependencies between steps often lead to cluttered code that is difficult to scale or modify. Enter {pipeflow} — a beginner-friendly R package designed to simplify and streamline data analysis pipelines by making them modular, intuitive, and adaptable. * ⚓ Marc Brooker ☛ Formal_Methods:_Just_Good_Engineering_Practice?⠀⇛ At first, this may seem counter-intuitive. Formal methods aren’t cheap, aren’t particularly easy, and don’t fit well into every software engineering approach. Its reasonable to start with the belief that a formal approach would increase costs, especially non-recurring engineering costs. My experience is that this isn’t true, for two reasons. The first is rework. Software engineering is somewhat unique in the engineering fields in that design and construction tend to happen at the same time, and a lot of construction can be started without a advancing much into design. This isn’t true in electrical engineering (designing a PCB or laying cables can’t really be done until design is complete), or civil engineering (starting the earthworks before you know what you’re building is possible, but a reliable way to waste money), or mechanical engineering, and so on. This is a huge strength of software - its mutability has been one of the reasons it has taken over the world - but can also significantly increase the cost of design iterations by turning design iterations into implementation iterations. The second is the cost of change. Once an API or system has customers, changing it becomes many times more expensive and difficult. This is fundamentally related to Hyrum’s Law: [...] * ⚓ Scott Graham ☛ A_worked_example_of_copy-and-patch_compilation⠀⇛ I’ve been working on-and-off on a toy compiler. It started when I thought it would be a good idea to add extra language features to the C compiler I was working on. I eventually decided that was probably a poor idea, but that writing a completely new language made sense (?). Or was at least more fun! In any case, I have been grappling on-and-off with that enjoyable black hole of a project, but it’s still deep in the “not working yet” phase. * ⚓ Brad Taunt ☛ Deliver_the_Bare_Minimum⠀⇛ I’m a minimalist at heart, so keeping things as simple as possible tends to be my thing. I love tinkering with an idea or product feature while trying to reduce my reliance on dependencies or purposely constraining personally set limits (maybe this is bandwidth, resource usage, etc.). I almost prefer ugly “hacks” in favour of something slightly less performant, just to win the tiniest of savings. It’s silly, but my brain won’t let me escape it. This doesn’t mean it’s always the “correct” way to approach both design and development, but it’s what works best for me. * ⚓ Qt ☛ What's_Happening_on_Qt_Academy_-_December_'24⠀⇛ * ⚓ Updates_to_the_Request_Index_Page⠀⇛ A few months ago, we introduced the Request Index Page feature in OBS. Recently, we added new filters to help users narrow down requests by staging projects and by request creators. The filters have also been improved to consider reviews, which is particularly useful for finding staging project requests. * ⚓ Qt ☛ Building_Your_Next_Industrial_Cockpit_with_Qt⠀⇛ Digitalization is driving radical changes in customer demands and expectations across industries. Industries where software- defined products already represent the norm, like consumer appliances and mobile devices, are now also setting usability standards for areas that have traditionally operated through analogic interfaces. In the Industrial_Vehicles manufacturing sector, the need to increase productivity and reduce costs is pushing companies to examine new ways of building products that leverage software to enhance usability, increase security, automate operations, optimize through AI, and more. o § Perl / Raku⠀➾ # ⚓ Perl Data Language ☛ Day_24:_Perl_Data_Language_reflections -_PDL_Advent_calendar_2024⠀⇛ Making this Advent calendar has been an adventure (ha!). As well as a couple of articles from me, there have been many from Boyd, who also shepherded this thing from inception onwards. We've also had contributions from users both long- standing and also new. That reflects PDL itself, which from the moment it started had an active, some might say opinionated, community of contributors. Since the originator of PDL, Karl Glazebrook, gets pride of place with an article tomorrow (Xmas day), I won't steal any of his thunder. # ⚓ Rakulang ☛ 2024.52_Connecting_the_Dots⠀⇛ Brian Duggan will be presenting “Connecting the Geospatial Dots with Raku” at FOSDEM 2025: “This talk explores Raku’s expressive and powerful style as we mesh together…with some of Raku’s unique features such as NativeCall for native libraries, Grammars for parsing, multiple modes of interacting with command line tooling, and plentiful concurrency models”. Looking forward to it already! o § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ GNOME ☛ Adetoye_Anointing:_Everybody_Struggles:_Struggles, Lessons_And_Growth⠀⇛ § Prerequisite I have been an Outreachy GNOME intern for a while now. GNOME is a free and open-source desktop environment for GNU/Linux and similar systems. It consists of quite a number of projects that make up the entire overall system, and the one I am working on for my internship is Librsvg. About Librsvg: It is a small library to render Scalable_Vector_Graphics_(SVGs) associated with GNOME projects. ⚓ Struggles⠀⇛ Initially, my struggle was with the programming language because Rust wasn’t my primary language before I started the internship. This led to the struggle of understanding the codebase. But let’s be honest, it’s written in Rust, and it takes quite some time to fully onboard. Luckily, my internship is centered around implementations to handle the SVG2 text layout algorithm. Plus, a programming language is just a tool to get the job done and should not be a hindrance if you are willing to learn and put in the work. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1903 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/25/Regolith_Linux_Is_a_Great_Introduction_To_Tiling_Window_Manager.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/12/25/Regolith_Linux_Is_a_Great_Introduction_To_Tiling_Window_Manager.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Regolith Linux Is a Great Introduction To Tiling Window Managers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 25, 2024 Modern GNU/Linux distributions tend to ship with modern desktop environments that make interacting with the OS and applications incredibly easy.

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.

This iteration starts with a custom HTML tag. All the necessities for scroll overflow, scroll snapping, and row layout are handled with CSS. Then, as a little progressive enhancement treat, button elements are connected that scroll the previous or next set of items into view when clicked. Behold!

It’s just a great solution and surprisingly easy and flexible to customize. * ⚓ James G ☛ Designing_the_Artemis_feed_recovery_tool⠀⇛ Sometimes, website authors change the URL of a feed without adding a redirect. This causes a problem for people subscribed to the feed: without the redirect, the software used to subscribe to the feed will have an out of date URL. After seeing Artemis, the calm web reader that I run, try to retrieve several dozen feeds that now return 404s, I thought to myself: is there a way to recover them? * ⚓ Markup from Hell ☛ The_search_input:_They_almost_got_it_right⠀⇛ This example is a classic - in a bad way - and can cause quite some confusion for users of assistive technology (AT). But it's also very easy to fix! It's the element missing its dear friend, the
