But in the world of containerization, it is a cornerstone. However, despite its enormous importance, distribution has mostly relied on support from a small group of sponsors. But that is about to change because Alpine Linux has officially joined Open Collective due to a growing desire to spread financial responsibility across a broader base.

When serving models using KServe in OpenShift AI, users must deploy S3-compatible storage somewhere accessible in their cluster and then upload their model to an S3 bucket. Managing models through S3 creates new challenges for traditional operations teams deploying production services. Teams may need to create new processes to promote model artifacts from development/test environments. OpenShift Hey Hi (AI) 2.14 enabled the ability to serve models directly from a container using KServe's ModelCar capabilities, and OpenShift Hey Hi (AI) 2.16 has added the ability to deploy a ModelCar image from the OpenShift Hey Hi (AI) dashboard. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_implement_C23_#embed_in_GCC_15⠀⇛ GCC 15 is expected to be released in April or May 2025.

We don't see that shifting—NVIDIA has a stranglehold on the ultra-high end market (culminating in the GeForce RTX 5090), followed by AMD in second place—but it might be readying up to three more discrete Battlemage products. * ⚓ Intel_has_three_new_Battlemage_GPUs_hidden_in_Linux_drivers⠀⇛ Intel seemingly has plans to expand its current Battlemage lineup with three new GPU models spotted through the grapevine. Information is few and far between, but from what we gather, it could position Team Blue a bit better across the wider market. The brand has added three PCI IDs inside its Linux drivers, hinting that more GPUs are on the horizon. Since these new IDs are different, listed as E21x instead of E20x, they could be based on a completely different silicon. Like how the DG2-512 chip powers the A700 and A500 series cards and the DG2-128 powers the A300 and Pro A series. These could become B380, B350, and B310 cards, or maybe a Pro variant like with the Alchemist architecture, but we can’t be sure for now. Previous rumours claimed that Intel is considering a 24GB Arc graphics card powered by a Battlemage GPU, so it looks like the sky’s the limit. Though unlikely, these could also be some OEM (original equipment manufacturer) or test designs that won’t find home in DIY consumer products.

Read_on Update * § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity - more updates o ⚓ Feisty Duck ☛ The_Slow_Death_of_OCSP⠀⇛ Everybody is talking about OCSP now because, just last month, at the end of 2024, Let’s Encrypt announced it was going to stop supporting online certificate revocation checking. Beginning in early May 2025, there will no longer be any OCSP revocation information in Let’s Encrypt’s certificates. Once all its earlier certificates expire, Let’s Encrypt will shut down its OCSP servers. Let’s Encrypt’s reasoning is sound. As it stands today, OCSP is not making anyone more secure. Browsers are either not checking it or are implementing it in a way that provides no security benefits. As a result, OCSP is just costing Let’s Encrypt good money in personnel and infrastructure costs. How much money? Let’s Encrypt hasn’t disclosed the actual costs, but its executive director did share with Scott Helme that Let’s Encrypt was servicing about twelve billion OCSP requests daily (about 140,000 every second). o ⚓ Ending_Support_for_Expiration_Notification_Emails_-_Let's Encrypt⠀⇛ Since its inception, Let’s Encrypt has been sending expiration notification emails to subscribers that have provided an email address to us.

The change that was first mentioned in a study in December 2023 couldn't be smaller. With just 30 lines of code, data throughput can be increased by up to 45% without significantly increasing the processing time for individual requests. At the same time, energy consumption is significantly reduced. With a high utilization of computing capacities, savings of up to 30% are expected. Considering that most servers around the world run on Linux, this would result in a gigantic amount of electricity that could be saved. Currently, servers and data centers are consuming an estimated 500 terawatt-hours today, and this number double over the next couple of years. 10% of that alone would be sufficient to completely power a small industrial nation like Denmark. * ⚓ Network World ☛ Linux_kernel_tweak_could_cut_data_center_power_usage_by up_to_30%⠀⇛ An improvement to the way Linux handles network traffic, developed by researchers at Canada’s University of Waterloo, could make data center applications run more efficiently and save energy at the same time. Waterloo professor Martin Karsten and Joe Damato, distinguished engineer at Fastly, developed the code — approximately 30 lines. It’s based on research described in a 2023 paper, written by Karsten and grad student Peter Cai, that investigated kernel versus user-level networking and determined that a small change could not only increase application efficiency but also cut data center power usage by up to 30%. The new code was accepted and added to version 6.13 of the Linux kernel. It adds a new NAPI configuration parameter, irq_suspend_timeout, to help balance CPU usage and network processing efficiency when using IRQ deferral and napi busy poll. This allows it to automatically switch between two modes of delivering data to an application — polling, and interrupt- driven — depending on network traffic, to maximize efficiency. * ⚓ Computer World ☛ Linux_gets_support_for_the_Copilot_key [Ed: Microsoft tattoos on hardware]⠀⇛ There is a special Copilot key on some Windows laptops that can be used to launch Microsoft’s AI assistant — and now support for the key is coming to Linux.

Let’s start with her net worth. She is estimared to have $1.6 billion in assets. Her largest asset is her music catalog. She did not own the masters (first recording) to her older music, but she re-recorded them and owns the masters to the re- recorded versions and to her future recordings. * ⚓ The New Stack ☛ 12_Critical_Open_Source_Projects_Losing_Security Support_in_2025⠀⇛ The EOL event for a major version of an open source software package is more challenging than just missing out on new features that will only be incorporated into future versions. It creates security risks for applications that depend on that open source software. * ⚓ Brad Frost ☛ The_UX_of_login_codes⠀⇛ The best experience is for this whole nightmare flow not to exist at all. I know I know, security blah blah blah, but zooming all the way out, this experience is rough. It’s death by 1000 paper cuts for everyone. It feels like punishment. Other two-factor authentication methods exist, but each method introduces its own pain. Authenticator apps introduce a “YOU HAVE TO DEFUSE THIS BOMB IN 10…9…8…” level of stressful bullshit into an already-painful experience. Passkeys are relatively new and seem promising in theory. But holy shit the current UX around them is really painful. I find myself clicking random purple buttons between Chrome, 1Password, and my phone. I really don’t know what’s going on, but eventually I click enough that it lets me in? Perhaps I don’t have things set up right, but it doesn’t match the magic that’s been pitched to me. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ TecMint ☛ 16_Top_Python_Hacks_for_Data_Scientists_to_Improve Productivity⠀⇛ But even if you’re comfortable with the basics, there are some advanced tricks that can take your skills to the next level and help you write cleaner, faster, and more efficient code, saving you time and effort in your projects. o ⚓ Python Speed ☛ The_surprising_way_to_save_memory_with_BytesIO⠀⇛ If you need a file-like object that stores bytes in memory in Python, chances are you you’re using Pytho’s built-in io.BytesIO(). And since you’re already using an in-memory object, if your data is big enough you probably should try to save memory when reading that data back out. After all, it’s better not to have two copies of all the data in memory when only one will suffice. o ⚓ Trail of Bits ☛ PyPI_now_supports_archiving_projects⠀⇛ Project archival is a single piece in a larger supply- chain security puzzle: by exposing archival statuses, PyPI enables downstream consumers to make more informed decisions about which packages they depend on. In particular, an archived project is a clear signal that a project intends to make no future security fixes or perform ongoing maintenance. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1193 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/31/Seeking_Opportunities_Building_a_Career_in_Software_Engineering.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/31/Seeking_Opportunities_Building_a_Career_in_Software_Engineering.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Seeking Opportunities: Building a Career in Software Engineering and Beyond⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jan 31, 2025 Quoting: Seeking Opportunities: Building a Career in Software Engineering and Beyond - DEV Community — My drive has led me to get involved in open-source contributions, where I can put my knowledge to the test while helping my community. Engaging with real-world experts and learning from my mistakes has been invaluable. One of the highlights of this journey was joining the Debian Webmasters team as an intern through Outreachy. Here, I have the honor of working on redesigning and migrating the old Debian webpages to make them more user-friendly. This experience not only allows me to apply my skills in a practical setting but also deepens my understanding of collaborative software development.

Alternative, built-in styles include an Element-like one with usernames above groups of messages, as well as a classic, no-margins IRC style. Messages may be optionally displayed with unique colors for each user (with customizable contrast), making it easier to follow conversations. Timestamp headers are optionally displayed where a certain amount of time passes between events, as well as where the date changes. Ement.el is intended to be installed with Emacs’s package system. Ement.el doesn’t support encrypted rooms natively, but it can be used transparently with the E2EE-aware reverse proxy daemon Pantalaimon This is free and open source software. * ⚓ halp_-_CLI_tool_to_get_help_with_CLI_tools_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ halp aims to help find the correct arguments for command-line tools by checking the predefined list of commonly used options/ flags. Additionally, it provides a prompt for quick access to the manual page or cheat sheet of the given command. * ⚓ Evisum_-_Enlightenment_system_monitor_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Evisum is a system monitor using Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (EFL). It was written organically and took many hours and a lot of manual reading to implement. It’s pretty and pays homage to FOSS applications from the 90s. Support for processes, process, CPU, memory, sensors and networking. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ mlterm_-_multi_lingual_terminal_emulator_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ mlterm is a multilingual terminal emulator on X11. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ ScriptHaus_-_organize_scripts_and_bash_one-liners_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ ScriptHaus lets you run bash, Python, and JS snippets from your Markdown files directly from the command-line. It can turn any Markdown file (including your README.md or BUILD.md) into a command-line tool, complete with command-line help and documentation. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Carapace_-_multi-shell_multi-command_argument_completer_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Carapace is a shell completion library (carapace-sh/carapace) as well as a binary containing a collection of shell completers. It works across multiple operating systems and multiple POSIX and non-POSIX shells. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Acronym_Decoder_-_explains_acronyms_and_abbreviations_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Acronym Decoder is a simple tool for quick searching of meaning for various acronyms and abbreviations. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Picocrypt_-_small_and_secure_encryption_tool_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ It’s designed to be the go-to tool for encryption, with a focus on security, simplicity, and reliability. Picocrypt uses the secure XChaCha20 cipher and the Argon2id key derivation function to provide a high level of security, even from three- letter agencies like the NSA. A command-line interface is also available for Picocrypt. It can encrypt and decrypt files, folders, and globs, and supports paranoid mode and Reed-Solomon encoding. This is free and open source software. ⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⣿⣿⣿⣷⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⣠⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠻⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⣰⡽⠚⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣷⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡼⠟⠻⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⣴⡟⠁⠀⢀⢀⣤⡤⣀⣠⣤⡈⠻⡿⠛⠀⢠⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠀⠀⢠⣾⣅⠀⠀⢀⠸⠟⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⣄⣴⣿⣏⣠⣿⣿⣫⣽⣿⣷⠀⠀⠈⢻⡇⠀⣀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⠿⠃⠘⠒⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⠋⠙⢿⡏⣹⣿⠹⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣡⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢻⣿⣷⣦⣄⠁⢹⣿⡇⢿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⡝⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣯⠀⢻⣿⣦⣀⣿⣿⣿⣧⠾⣿⣿⡇⠀⢾⣿⣿⠿⡇⠀⠀⠀⡹⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣦⣀⠀⢠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠙⠿⢿⠟⢇⢸⣶⡟⣿⣿⡇⠀⣾⣿⡇⠀⡇⠀⠀⠸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⡙⠛⠃⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠈⠁⢻⣿⣿⣟⣧⣼⣿⣿⣷⣤⠸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣀⠀⣄⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣧⣀⣼⣷⠿⠟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣶⣾ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣤⣄⣌⣹⣟⣋⣩⣯⡽⢿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠻⠋⢛⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⡧⣿⣿⣿⢻⣷⣦⣬⣉⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣦⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠙⢻⣿⣿⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣩⣍⠉⢛⣋⣡⡈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1390 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/31/Today_in_Techrights.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/31/Today_in_Techrights.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Today in Techrights⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 31, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇I_see_you_-_Eye⦈_ ⚓ Updated This Past Day⠀⇛ 1. ⚓ Microsoft_Mass_Layoffs_Without_Severance_Pay_Reported_Hours_After Microsoft_Reported_Weak_Numbers_and_Microsoft_Stock_Fell⠀⇛ Microsoft has a bloodbath this month 2. ⚓ Another_Slew_of_Fake_Articles_About_'Linux'_and_'Security'_From Brittany_Day_at_linuxsecurity.com_(Spamfarm/Slopfarm)⠀⇛ linuxsecurity.com is basically a pariah and parasite.

No, even a beginner can configure Syslog Server if he or she is managing multiple servers because the process of installing it is simple. * ⚓ Linux Host Support ☛ What_is_the_ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED_Error_and_how_to fix_it?⠀⇛ This blog post is about the ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED error and the possible solution to fix and avoid it. The “err_connection_closed” message tells that the local computer or mobile phone browser cannot make a connection, and something prevented the website from being inaccessible. * ⚓ Navigating_GNU/Linux_Container_Challenges_With_Scott_McCarty [Ed: Red Hat sponsored site as Red Hat megaphone]⠀⇛ < Scott McCarty, principal product manager for RHEL Server at Red Hat, discusses the evolving landscape of GNU/Linux containers. He talks about how containers have matured from hype to mainstream adoption, yet still present new use cases, particularly in Hey Hi (AI) and WebAssembly. * ⚓ Linux Cloud VPS ☛ Email_protocols:_What_is_the_difference_between_SMTP, POP3,_and_IMAP?⠀⇛ The SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is an application layer and connection oriented protocol. It is used to send and receive mail messages by mail servers and other transfer agents. SMTP is a mail delivery and not a mail retrieval protocol. Therefore, it delivers an email to an email provider’s mail server. The SMPT protocol defines a process for exchanging data between an email client and a mail server. Email client is a software application that is used to access, manage, and send emails by the client. It provides users with a user interface for better viewing and organization of the emails. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Monitoring_Red_Hat_Ansible_Automation_Platform_using Performance_Co-Pilot⠀⇛ To display system metrics stored in an archive, starting from 14:00, in an interactive manner similar to the top tool: [...] * ⚓ RIPE ☛ Using_API_Keys_in_the_RIPE_Database⠀⇛ We are introducing API keys as an easy to use alternative to MD5 hashed passwords, which we plan to deprecate later this year. For now, API keys can only be used in the RIPE database, but we intend to offer them in other RIPE NCC services in the future. For anyone reading this who only makes updates using the web interface - you don’t need API keys! For everyone else, in this article, I'm going to show you the new API keys feature of the RIPE database. * ⚓ SANS ☛ PCAPs_or_It_Didn't_Happen:_Exposing_an_Old_Netgear_Vulnerability Still_Active_in_2025_[Guest_Diary]⠀⇛ One thing I’ve learned about cybersecurity, particularly during my time here at the Internet Storm Center is this: If you don’t capture detailed network data (like PCAPs), you can easily miss the full picture of an attack, even with the most aggressive logging practices. One of the attack observations I submitted on January 12th detailed an older vulnerability that uses HTTP GET requests, attempting to perform unauthenticated OS command injections on some legacy Netgear devices, targeting the ‘setup.cgi’ script. I was curious as to which Netgear devices might be involved, and some research led me to a few publications on exploit- db.com, which identified specifically the DGN1000 with firmware versions before 1.1.0.48, and the DGN2200v1 (all firmware versions) modem/router models.[2][3] Both of these models are shown to be “end of service” on the Netgear website. [4][5] There was no CVE mentioned, but a few days later I found out from another post on the 15th of January here at the Internet Storm Center, written by Dr. Yee Ching Tok, Ph.D., ISC Handler: [...] * ⚓ Andy Bell ☛ CSS_nesting:_use_with_caution⠀⇛ I’ve been doing this CSS thing for over 15 years and I’ve seen a lot of change in that time. A lot of the time, I see a new CSS feature and immediately get excited about how helpful it’s going to be for me and the team in the long term. A good example of that is text-box-trim. There are features that fill me with dread though and right at the top of that list is native CSS nesting. I know that opinion will be rather unpopular, but the whole deal of the site is front-end education for the real world, so I’m here to provide that for you today. * ⚓ Mythic Beasts Ltd` ☛ The_Death_of_Email_Forwarding⠀⇛ Over the years there have been various different approaches to authenticating email senders, but it’s a continual arms race. Spam remains a problem, as does the plethora of scams and fraud that are enabled by the ease with which email can be forged. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Samba_on_Linux_Mint_22⠀⇛ Samba is a powerful open-source software suite that provides seamless file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients. This guide will walk you through the process of installing and configuring Samba on Linux Mint 22, enabling you to share files easily across different operating systems, including backdoored Windows and macOS. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Apache_Tomcat_on_CentOS_Stream_10⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Apache Tomcat on CentOS Stream 10.

According to Microsoft’s latest Cyber Signals Report released on November 7, 2024, the education sector is now the third most targeted industry worldwide. In fact, the education sector has become a prime target for cybercriminals due to the sensitive nature of the data handled by these institutions, including financial records, health data, and other regulated information. o ⚓ The Record ☛ South_Africa’s_government-run_weather_service knocked_offline_by_cyberattack⠀⇛ “However, alternative ways of disseminating important information such as the weather forecasts have been put in place.

Newspapers were the gateway, but soon she was reading from all over the place. Within a year, she’d even started a small eBay business, and had a del.icio.us bookmark account with thousands of entries. It made me so happy walking into the bedroom and seeing her not lying there with a finished book looking distant and sad, but sitting up with her reading glasses furiously typing something. And this was all thanks to a Linux desktop, something so many are willing to dismiss as too complicated for average people to use.
