Run "Linux"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 16, 2025 * ⚓ Ars Technica ☛ Parallels_can_finally_run_x86_versions_of_Windows_or Linux_on_Apple_Silicon [Ed: Proprietary and untrustworthy, VirtualBox works OK]⠀⇛ Virtualization software like Parallels and VMware Fusion give Mac owners the ability to run Windows and Linux on top of macOS, but for Apple Silicon Macs, that support was limited to the Arm-based versions of those operating systems. And while Windows and Linux both support some level of x86-to-Arm app translation that attempts to maintain compatibility with most software, there are still plenty of things that demand an Intel or AMD processor with the x86 instruction set. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Parallels_Can_Now_Run_x86_Windows_and_Linux_on_Apple Silicon_Mac⠀⇛ Parallels Desktop, a popular application for running Windows and Linux virtual machines on Mac, can now run 64-bit x86 operating systems on Apple Silicon Macs. That means more versions of Windows and Linux can run on the latest M1, M2, M3, and M4 Mac computers. Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fusion, VirtualBox, and other similar virtualization tools are only designed to run operating systems built on the same architecture as the host. When Mac computers used x86 Intel processors, a Mac could virtualize the regular PC versions of Windows and Linux (and many other operating systems) with a minimal performance hit. When Apple switched to the ARM-based Apple Silicon architecture with the first M1 Mac computers, virtualization was mostly limited to Windows 11 on ARM and some ARM Linux distributions. * ⚓ AppleInsider ☛ New_Parallels_update_trials_x86_Linux_&_Windows_VMs_on Apple_Silicon⠀⇛ For Linux users, this also gives an alternative to running Linux virtual machines through Rosetta. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 239 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/16/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/16/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jan 16, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇terminal⦈_ * ⚓ Bit_-_modernized_git_CLI_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Bit is an experimental modernized git CLI built on top of git that provides happy defaults and other niceties.

The app provides standard, scientific, and programmer calculator functionality, as well as a set of converters between various units of measurement and currencies. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Daisy_-_general-purpose_TUI_scientific_calculator_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Daisy is a pretty, general-purpose TUI scientific calculator with support for units, derivatives, and more.

I’m not worried. It’s a fair question, though, and the answer is worth exploring in detail. First of all, I believe Automattic runs .blog for the good of the web and to make money. The more people who blog, the more people who might choose WordPress.com for hosting. The web gets a little better anytime someone uses a .blog domain, because they probably just created a new website, and Automattic pockets a little cash. Everyone wins. * § Openwashing⠀➾ o ⚓ InfluxData Inc ☛ InfluxDB_3_Open_Source_Now_in_Public_Alpha_Under MIT/Apache_2_License⠀⇛ For open source, we knew it was important to build a product that could run as a single process that would be easy to set up and start using right away. We also realized that many of our customers wanted an operationally simple database as an option either instead of or in addition to our scalable distributed system. The result is InfluxDB 3 Core in the open source (dual- licensed under MIT or Apache 2), and InfluxDB 3 Enterprise, a commercial version of the core open source offering. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 412 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/16/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/16/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free, Libre, and Open Source Software Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 16, 2025 * ⚓ LWN ☛ The_people_should_own_the_town_square_(Mastodon_Blog)⠀⇛ The Mastodon project has announced that founder Eugen Rochko will be transferring "key Mastodon ecosystem and platform components (including name and copyrights, among other assets)" to a new non-profit organization: [...] * § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ A_look_at_the_Sequoia_command-line_interface⠀⇛ The Sequoia OpenPGP library has been in development for some time. LWN covered the library in 2020. Now the project's command-line interface has been released. The sq tool offers a promising alternative to the venerable GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) tool — albeit one with a different interface, set of terminology, and approach to the web of trust. Several distributions are making increasing use of the tool behind the scenes. The Sequoia documentation opens with a warning that the tool uses different terminology than existing OpenPGP implementations. This warning is deserved: what other tools call "public keys", Sequoia calls "certificates". It refers to private keys as merely "keys". The documentation justifies the difference by observing that what OpenPGP and related implementations call a "public key" really bundles a lot of unrelated data: user IDs, metadata, preferences, certifications, signatures, and subkeys, as well as the actual key material itself. Sequoia calls OpenPGP public keys "certificates" in order to emphasize that they are really more than just keys. * § Programming/Development⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ Preventing_data_races_with_Pony⠀⇛ The Pony programming language is dedicated to exploring how to make high-performance actor-based systems. Started in 2014, the language's most notable feature is probably reference capabilities, a system of pointer annotations that gives the developer fine manual control over how data is shared between actors, while simultaneously ensuring that Pony programs don't have data races. The language is not likely to overtake other more popular programming languages, but its ideas could be useful for other languages or frameworks struggling with concurrent data access. o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Bayesian_Meta-Analysis_with_brms⠀⇛ In our previous post, Examining Meta Analysis, we contrasted a frequentist version of a meta analysis conducted with R’s meta package with a Bayesian meta analysis done mostly in stan using the rstan package as a front end. o ⚓ LWN ☛ Emacs_in_Scheme⠀⇛ During EmacsConf 2024, which was held online in early December 2024, Ramin Honary gave a talk about Project Gypsum, which is his effort to rewrite Emacs in Scheme. Unlike most other Emacs clones, which simply replicate the key bindings, Gypsum is also implementing Emacs Lisp (or Elisp). Honary is initially targeting Guile, which is an implementation of Scheme, but wants to make the code portable to any implementation of R7RS Scheme. He started by introducing himself as an ""Emacs enthusiast since 2017"" who currently works mostly with Python and JavaScript. His ""true love"" is functional programming, Haskell in particular. He started learning Scheme two years ago and has been working on Gypsum for the last year. Honary said that the name of the project is tentative, ""naming things is hard"", and he is open to suggestions. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ The_Homa_network_protocol⠀⇛ The origins of the TCP and UDP network protocols can be traced back a full 50 years. Even though networks and their use have changed radically since those protocols were designed, they can still be found behind most networking applications. Unsurprisingly, these protocols are not optimal for all situations, so there is ongoing interest in the development of alternatives. One such is the Homa transport protocol, developed by John Ousterhout (of Tcl/Tk and Raft fame, among other accomplishments), which is aimed at data-center applications. Ousterhout is currently trying to get a minimal Homa implementation into the kernel. Most networking applications are still based on TCP, which was designed for efficient and reliable transport of streams of data across a distributed Internet. Data- center applications, instead, are often dominated by large number of small messages between many locally connected hosts. The requirements of TCP, including the establishment of connections and ordering of data, add a lot of overhead to that kind of application. The design of Homa is intended to remove that overhead while taking advantage of what current data-center networking hardware can do, with a focus on minimizing the latency between a request and its response. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 554 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/16/Games_SteamOS_WebScreen_Steam_Deck_and_More.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/16/Games_SteamOS_WebScreen_Steam_Deck_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: SteamOS, WebScreen, Steam Deck, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 16, 2025 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Intel_and_NVIDIA_drivers_holding_back_a_public_SteamOS release,_Valve_not_trying_to_compete_with_Windows⠀⇛ During CES, Valve developer Pierre-Loup Griffais spoke to Frandroid about SteamOS, Steam Deck and more and there's some interesting bits in there about the future.

Since they're Verified, they should work great on Desktop Linux too. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Impressive_colony_building_sim_Songs_of_Syx_is_getting ready_to_leave_Early_Access_with_a_big_new_Beta⠀⇛ Songs of Syx is a deep and engrossing colony-building sim from Gamatron AB that has steadily improved with new updates since the 2020 release into Early Access but the 1.0 release is finally approaching. Songs of Syx has full Native Linux support. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Discord_screen-sharing_with_audio_on_Linux_Wayland_is officially_here⠀⇛ Finally, Discord stable has a new release available, and it officially brings full screen-sharing with audio on Linux with Wayland. Initially arriving in their Canary testing client, and then being pulled due to bugs, it's now officially here. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Positively_rated_immersive-sim_FPS_Fortune's_Run_is_on hold_as_the_developer_is_going_to_prison⠀⇛ Announced originally during the Realms Deep event in 2021, and later released into Early Access on Steam in 2023, Fortune's Run is a highly rated immersive-sim FPS but now its future is uncertain. The game is playable on Linux with Proton and is rated Steam Deck Playable by Valve. * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ There_goes_the_weekend_-_rogue-lite_action-RPG_Heroes of_Hammerwatch_II_is_out_now⠀⇛ Developer Crackshell have released Heroes of Hammerwatch II, a rogue-lite action-rpg that offers extensive persistent progression.

The good news is that gaming on Linux has never been better, and openSUSE is a powerful and versatile platform for gamers to continue enjoying their favorite titles. Linux gaming has evolved significantly over the past decade. Thanks to tools like Proton, Steam and Lutris, a large number of Windows- exclusive games are now playable on Linux. openSUSE is an excellent choice for gamers making the switch since it’s well known for its stability, flexibility and hardware support.

It is a popular tool for sending or receiving files, making backups, or setting up mirrors. It minimizes data copied by transferring only the changed parts of files, making it faster and more bandwidth-efficient than traditional copying methods provided by tools like sftp or ftp-ssl. Rsync versions 3.3.0 and below has been found with SIX serious vulnerabilities. Attackers could exploit these to leak your data, corrupt your files, or even take over your system. There is a heap-based buffer overflow with a CVSS score of 9.8 that needs to be addressed on both the client and server sides of rsync package.

That can only mean one thing: the time has come to go out on a limb with a series of ill-advised predictions that are almost certainly not how the year will actually go. We have to try; it's traditional, after all. Read on for our view of what's coming and how it may play out. The extensible scheduling class (sched-ext) will be a game changer. Already we have seen, in 2024, how the ability to load a CPU scheduler from user space as a set of BPF programs has unleashed a great deal of creativity; that was before sched-ext was part of a released kernel. In 2025, this feature will start showing up in more distributions, and more people will be able to play with it. The result will be a flood of new scheduling ideas, each of which can be quickly tested (and improved) on real systems. Some of those ideas will result in specialty schedulers included with focused distributions (systems for gaming, for example); others, hopefully, will eventually find their way into the kernel's EEVDF scheduler. Code written in Rust will land in the kernel at an increasing rate over the course of the year as a result of the increased availability of abstractions and greater familiarity with the language in the kernel community. The Rust code that has been merged so far is mostly infrastructure and proofs of concept; in 2025, we'll see Rust code that end users will run — but they may never notice. The number of unstable language features needed by the kernel will drop significantly as those features are stabilized by the Rust community. * ⚓ LWN ☛ 2024_Linux_and_free_software_timeline⠀⇛ In the past, LWN had a tradition of publishing a timeline of notable events from the previous year in early January.

The change, made in the autumn, was a useful improvement at face value. It was a modification to Linux x86_64 to use large read-only execute (ROX) pages for caching executable pages. The theory was that the alteration would result in increased performance. However, the code caused problems on some setups and an urgent patch from Intel's Peter Zijlstra was committed yesterday to disable it. The stable release of the 6.13 kernel was due this coming weekend. Zijlstra wrote: "The whole module_writable_address() nonsense made a giant mess of alternative.c, not to mention it still contains bugs -- notable (sic) some of the CFI variants crash and burn. Control Flow Integrity (CFI) is an anti-malware technology aimed at preventing attackers from redirecting the control flow of a program. The change can cause issues on some CFI-enabled setups and reports have included Intel Alder Lake- powered machines failing to resume from hibernation. Read_on Update More here: * ⚓ Microsoft_pulls_a_Windows_as_it_breaks_Linux_on_Intel_CPUs_and_angers AMD_in_the_process⠀⇛ Earlier today, we reported about a happy and content Linus Torvalds, who is offering to make a guitar pedal for one of the lucky Linux devs out there since he is pleased with how things have been this holiday season and the progress with the Linux kernel version 6.13. Unfortunately for Torvalds, a Microsoft-contributed change nearly ruined it, but Intel and AMD had intervened just in time to save the day. The change in question was related to a ARCH_HAS_EXECMEM_ROX kernel configuration, which would allow caching of executable memory (EXECMEM) with read-only execute (ROX) permissions. It was being added as a performance improvement feature on Linux 6.13 for x86_64/ AMD64, ie, 64-bit AMD and Intel CPUs. * ⚓ Microsoft_Breaks_Linux_Again⠀⇛ One more: * ⚓ Linux_Developers_scramble_to_solve_last_minute_bug_for_GNU/Linux_6.13⠀⇛ In this video, we take a look at a bug that was introduced by a Abusive Monopolist Microsoft engineer into the GNU/Linux kernel that had to be patched at the eleventh hour before GNU/Linux 6.13 is released. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1355 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/16/Mozilla_and_Spidermonkey.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/16/Mozilla_and_Spidermonkey.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Mozilla and Spidermonkey⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 16, 2025 * ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Slate’s_ICYMI_hosts_on_their_online_obsessions_and_wildest 2025_predictions [Ed: Mozilla is not interested in covering Firefox and the Web anymore]⠀⇛ Here at Mozilla, we are the first to admit the internet isn’t perfect, but we know the internet is pretty darn magical. The internet opens up doors and opportunities, allows for human connection, and lets everyone find where they belong — their corners of the internet. We all have an internet story worth sharing.

In short, this proposal adds 64-bit pointers to WebAssembly. If you are like most readers, you may be wondering: “Why wasn’t WebAssembly 64-bit to begin with?” Yes, it’s the year 2025 and WebAssembly has only just added 64-bit pointers. Why did it take so long, when 64-bit devices are the majority and 8GB of RAM is considered the bare minimum? It’s easy to think that 64-bit WebAssembly would run better on 64-bit hardware, but unfortunately that’s simply not the case. WebAssembly apps tend to run slower in 64-bit mode than they do in 32-bit mode. This performance penalty depends on the workload, but it can range from just 10% to over 100%—a 2x slowdown just from changing your pointer size. This is not simply due to a lack of optimization. Instead, the performance of Memory64 is restricted by hardware, operating systems, and the design of WebAssembly itself. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1416 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/16/Programming_Leftovers.1.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/16/Programming_Leftovers.1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 16, 2025 * ⚓ Ruby_3.3.7_Released⠀⇛ Ruby 3.3.7 has been released.

The package wraps fast_float, another nice library by Daniel Lemire. For details, see the arXiv_preprint or published paper showing that one can convert character representations of ‘numbers’ into floating point at rates at or exceeding one gigabyte per second. * ⚓ Jim Nielsen ☛ Tools_As_Ways_of_Being⠀⇛ A good tool improves your output. A great tool improves your output and your understanding and empathy for others and their disciplines. * ⚓ Buttondown LLC ☛ What_are_the_Rosettas_of_formal_specification?⠀⇛ For this I'd want a set of "Rosetta" examples. Rosetta Code is a collection of programming tasks done in different languages. For example, "99 bottles of beer on the wall" in over 300 languages. If I wanted to make a Rosetta Code for specifications of concurrent systems, what examples would I use? * ⚓ Karl Seguin ☛ Peeking_Behind_Zig_Interfaces_by_Creating_a_Dummy std.Random_Implementation⠀⇛ We've looked at Zig Interfaces in the past. If you want to understand how they work and how to write your own, I recommend you read that post first. But I recently needed to create a dummy std.Random implementation (for testing purposes) and felt that the experience was a nice refresher. * ⚓ Seth Michael Larson ☛ Quickly_visualizing_an_SBOM_document⠀⇛ Have you ever had a Software Bill-of-Materials (SBOM) document and just want to look at the dang thing? Preferably using CLI tools? SBOMs tend to be quite large for non-trivial software projects, so looking at them in a text editor becomes difficult fast. Many "solutions" for visualizing an SBOM document require running a service which is something I don't want to do. Here's what you can do to quickly visualize an SBOM document using Anthony Harrison's sbom2dot project, the DOT language, and GraphViz: [...] * ⚓ Unnamed Website ☛ Fenwick_Trees_are_Awesome!⠀⇛ This post will only use one-based indexing since that’s what Fenwick trees traditionally use, although they can be modified to use zero-based indexing. So imagine you have an array $A$ of size $N$, and you’d like to support two operations. The first one, called $Update(i, v)$, is trivial: Given an index $i$, add $v$ to $A_i$. Easy peasy! * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Best_Prompt_Engineering_Books⠀⇛ Best Prompt Engineering Books, Prompt engineering is a rapidly growing field that focuses on crafting high-quality input prompts to elicit accurate and informative responses from artificial intelligence (AI) models. With the increasing adoption of AI technologies in various industries, such as customer service, healthcare, and finance, the need for effective prompt engineering has become more pressing than ever. Well-designed prompts can significantly improve the quality of output, reduce errors, and enhance the overall user experience. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Perl ☛ Creating_MIDI_Music_with_Perl⠀⇛ It is older than agriculture and civilization itself. We shall only cover the essential parts needed to make music on the computer. So let’s get right to the point! How do you make music with code? And what is music in the first place? Well, for our purposes, music is a combination of rhythm, melody, and harmony. Okay, what are these musical elements from the perspective of a programming language? And how do you create these elements with code? Enter: Perl. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Six Colors ☛ Counting_almost-duplicates_in_very_long_lists⠀⇛ And so I created the first iteration of this tool, which Myke Hurley and I have been using for our projects for a year or two. It’s a Python script that’s just inserted into a one-line Shortcut (run shell script, since you can choose Python from a list of shells) for convenience’s sake. All the original script does is read the clipboard, puts everything in title case (thereby avoiding differences in capitalization), and then strips out a bunch of extraneous spaces and the addition of “The” via regular expressions. o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ (Multiple)_inheritance_in_Python_and implicit_APIs⠀⇛ This was an interesting bug, and one of the things it made me realize is that the absence of a __str__ method on 'list' itself had implicitly because part of list's API. Django had set up class definitions that were 'class Something(..., list, AMixin)', where the 'AMixin' had a direct __str__ method, and Django expected that to work. This only works as long as 'list' doesn't have its own __str__ method and instead gets it through inheritance from object.__str__. Adding such a method to 'list' would break Django and anyone else counting on this behavior, making the lack of the method an implicit API. o ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Raspberry_Pi_powers_this_Meshtastic_network BBS⠀⇛ Because Meshtastic is Python based, it only makes sense that MeshBoard, the BBS put together by VeggieVampire, is also Python-based. VeggieVampire was kind enough to make the project open source and shared all of the source code over at GitHub for anyone to download or just take a closer look at. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ Free Our Feeds ☛ Free_Our_Feeds⠀⇛ But it will take independent funding and governance to turn Bluesky’s underlying tech—the AT Protocol—into something more powerful than a single app. We want to create an entire ecosystem of interconnected apps and different companies that have people’s interests at heart. o ⚓ PC World ☛ A_high_school_student_just_made_Doom_playable_in_a_PDF file⠀⇛ There’s a growing trend of developers flexing their muscles to make PDF documents do completely different things than what they’re intended to do. The goal is to push the boundaries of the PDF format. PDF (which stands for Portable Document Format) was created in 1992 as a way to present documents independently of software, hardware, and operating systems. It’s practical, but it’s also complex — and that’s what makes the format attractive to programmers and malware creators alike.

Since then we have continued to improve debuginfod as well as tools that make use of debuginfod, such as GDB and Valgrind. In this article we'll review some of the notable updates and enhancements to debuginfod over the past year as well as the scale at which public debuginfod servers are operating. * ⚓ Adam_Williamson:_New_laptop_and_Silverblue_update⠀⇛ Figured I'd post an update on how things are going with the new laptop (HP Omnibook Ultra 14, AMD Ryzen Hey Hi (AI) 9 365 "Strix Point", for the searchers) and with Silverblue. I managed to work around the hub issue by swapping out the fancy $300 Thunderbolt hub for a $40_USB-C_hub_off_Amazon. This comes with limitations - you're only going to get a single 4k 60Hz external display, and limited bandwidth for anything else - but it's sufficient for my needs, and makes me regret buying the fancy hub in the first place. It seems to work 100% reliably on startup, reboot and across suspend/resume. There's still clearly something wrong with Thunderbolt handling in the kernel, but it's not my problem any more. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1738 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/16/Security_and_FUD.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/16/Security_and_FUD.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security and FUD⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 16, 2025 * ⚓ Security_and_cryptography_algorithms:_A_guide⠀⇛ These algorithms have been extensively studied by cryptographers, and open-source implementations have benefited from the scrutiny of countless security researchers.

Technically, my first handheld was the Windows-based ASUS ROG Ally, but it wasn’t until I tried emulation-focused Linux and Android handhelds that the need for more took hold. If you’re thinking of afflicting this upon yourself, the first decision you need to make is the operating system. So which one is best: Linux or Android-based handhelds?

Software users get mad when a bug isn’t fixed. Companies get mad when competitors make money off of “their” FOSS projects. Apart from license terms like reciprocity or attribution, FOSS licenses do not place obligations in either direction. We have to stop pretending like they do. We have to expect that when we release software under a license that allows people to use it to make butt loads of money as a downstream product or a competitive offering that some people will. We have to expect that software provided “as-is” will sometimes not get bug fixes or improve their security. We have to expect that bags labeled “Dead dove. Do not eat” will, in fact, contain a dead dove. None of this is to say that is to say that those are the ideal choices. Supporting upstream projects with labor and/or money is important to the sustainability of the project. Fixing vulnerabilities and other bugs — or better yet: preventing them in the first place — is a net benefit for computing. But unless they actually made a commitment, don’t be upset when they don’t meet it.

You'll be installing osTicket with the LAMP Stack (Linux, Apache, MariaDB, and PHP) and securing osTicket with HTTPS through Certbot and Letsencrypt. * ⚓ New York Times ☛ How_to_Download_Your_Videos_From_TikTok⠀⇛ Feeling the sudden need to save your TikTok videos in case the site abruptly goes away? Here are a few methods for nontechnical users who want copies of the videos they personally uploaded or made on TikTok. You can also download a copy of your TikTok data right from your account, which doesn’t get you the video files themselves but will give other items including your direct messages and followers list. Here’s how. * ⚓ Jeff Geerling ☛ Top_10_ways_to_monitor_Linux_in_the_console⠀⇛ It shows essential metrics, but looks like it's from the 80s. There are ways to brighten it up, like highlighting active processes or changing color schemes, but it's not the only game in town! * ⚓ Klara ☛ ZFS_Storage_Bottlenecks_-_Managing_and_Tracking_Performance⠀⇛ iostat is the only tool we’re talking about today which is not ZFS-specific. This venerable system analysis tool used to be a part of most distributions’ base systems–and it’s still a part of FreeBSD base, although more consumer-focused Linux distributions tend not to install it by default anymore. (Under Ubuntu, it can be found as part of the sysstat package in the main repository.) Although it’s not the easiest tool to use, iostat reports extremely granular information about each of your physical storage devices’ statistics. By default, as shown above, iostat reports all activity on each device since the last system boot. * ⚓ Herman Õunapuu ☛ Backing_up_another_PC_with_a_single_Ethernet_cable⠀⇛ I was in a pinch. I needed to make a full disk backup of a PC, but I had no external storage device with me to store it on. The local Wi-Fi network was also way too slow to transfer the disk over it. All I had was my laptop with an Ethernet port, a Fedora Linux USB stick, and a short Ethernet cable. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ My_bug_reports_are_mostly_done_for_work_these days⠀⇛ These days, I almost entirely report bugs in open source software as part of my work. A significant part of this is that most of what I stumble over bugs in are things that work uses (such as Ubuntu or OpenBSD), or at least things that I mostly use as part of work. There are some consequences of this that I feel like noting today. The first is that I do bug investigation and bug reporting on work time during work hours, and I don't work on "work bugs" outside of that, on evenings, weekends, and holidays. This sometimes meshes awkwardly with the time open source projects have available for dealing with bugs (which is often in people's personal time outside of work hours), so sometimes I will reply to things and do additional followup investigation out of hours to keep a bug report moving along, but I mostly avoid it. Certainly the initial investigation and filing of a work bug is a working hours activity. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Mautic_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS⠀⇛ How To Install Mautic on Ubuntu 24.04 Mautic is a powerful open-source marketing automation tool that enables businesses to manage their marketing campaigns effectively.

It brings together chat, video conferencing, file sharing, and collaborative workspaces in one unified interface. However, many users wonder if this tool can function smoothly on an Ubuntu-based distribution such as Linux Mint 22. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Dolibarr_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS⠀⇛ Dolibarr is an open-source ERP and CRM system widely utilized by businesses that seek a straightforward yet powerful platform to streamline operations.

This is useful when you frequently connect to the same server using SSH protocol for remote login, server management, using IT automation tools over SSH or even running hourly backups. However, sometimes your SSH command (client) will not respond or get hung up on the session when using multiplexing. * ⚓ Unix Men ☛ ZHS_Autosuggestion⠀⇛ Bash String Comparison: Comparing Strings in Shell Scripts * ⚓ Unix Men ☛ SSH_Max_Limits_and_Optimization⠀⇛ [Solved] – How to Fix SSH Permission Denied (Publickey) Error Message * ⚓ Unix Men ☛ How_to_Add_Guests_in_VirtualBox⠀⇛ Install Oracle VirtualBox And Manage It Using phpVirtualBox On Ubuntu 15.10 Headless Server * ⚓ How_to_install_Signal_Messenger_on_Ubuntu_24.04_or_22.04_LTS⠀⇛ Using the command terminal, learn to install the Signal Private Messenger app on Ubuntu 24.04 or 22.04 LTS.

Unlike Ubuntu, this in-house-developed distro lacks Canonical's Snap package manager, also using its own software repositories, located on servers operated by hosting providers located in Germany. Last but not least, Tuxedo OS is not sending out any data to Canonical or Tuxedo. Released yesterday, the latest minor update to this German distro brings the current version to 20250115, and its most important change is the update to KDE Plasma 6.2.5, a bugfix patch that was released on the last day of 2024.

Part of it is that Linux, and its open- source software just keeps getting better. But the other part is that many of us are moving away from vendors that are increasingly harder to work with. Apple, Adobe and Microsoft are all suffering the same unforced error: Greed. In this article I'll be running through some of the reasons to download Ubuntu Studio, an open source content creation studio that runs on Linux, then installing it on three different machines to show how easy it can be. I'll finish with a quick tutorial to allow you to do it yourself. For other software advice see our best photo editing software guide, and my recent review of open source photo editor Gimp 3.0.

What did we learn today? Not much. Plenty. Stupidity prevails. Windows 11 remains useless, the new tabbed Explorer fails its most basic of tests, the system is still rife with nonsense and pointless features, and there's nothing redeeming about it. As the market share numbers show, as I told you would happen. Oh am I basking in smugness. Windows 10 still, STILL has twice as many users, and that share is actually growing. That's all you need to need about this modern new operating failure of a system. That's it. That is it. Having applied the December patches, I didn't encounter any great issues. The updates were fast, for a change. My privacy posture wasn't harmed. There are still snags, though, so you always must be vigilant. If you used to patch your Explorer, it ain't gonna work no more. No crashes, but no improvements either. All in all, a meaningless chapter in a meaningless story.

The crew used a version of PlugX that allowed the miscreants to remotely access and control infected machines, steal files, and deploy additional malware. As detailed in the unsealed application for a search and seizure warrant to wipe the software from people's Microsoft Windows PCs: [...] * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Microsoft_fixes_exploited_Hyper-V_privilege escalation_flaws⠀⇛ That’s scary because they can allow an attacker to gain SYSTEM privileges – the ultimate position of power on a Windows box. That said, the vulnerabilities are not billed as guest escapes, and instead we're told they simply allow a rogue user or malware already on a machine to gain top privileges. Whatever the problem is, it's present in Windows 10 and 11, plus Windows Server’s 2022 and 2025 releases. Microsoft has not detailed the extent nor nature of the in-the- wild exploitation. * ⚓ The Independent UK ☛ Cyber_security_is_biggest_concern_among_IT_leaders –_poll⠀⇛ The annual survey of tech professionals by BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT, found that over a third (36%) said cyber security was the main issue. The study also found that only 5% of industry professionals felt their organisations had enough resources to achieve their priorities for 2025, and 63% said their business needed to enhance IT capabilities among its workforce. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2794 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 26 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
