Trusted comments can be used to add instructions or application-specific metadata (intended file name, timestamps, resource identifiers, version numbers to prevent downgrade attacks). This is free and open source software. * ⚓ Mirage_-_fast_and_simple_GTK+_image_viewer_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Mirage is a fast and simple GTK+ image viewer. Because it depends only on PyGTK, Mirage is ideal for users who wish to keep their computers lean while still having a clean image viewer.

It runs GNOME and the Phosh shell on top of a Debian-based Arm64 userland derived from the future Debian "Trixie," and the user-facing stack is pure FOSS with the GNOME project's mobile shell and Mozilla Firefox as your browser. The first public showing of the FLX1 was at Red Hat's developer conference, DevConf.cz, in Brno last summer, and The Register was there and got to play with the device. Now the company has provided us with a unit for hands-on evaluation. Compared to other Linux phones out there, this is a higher-end and more capable device. FuriLabs is a small company that works with a Chinese OEM partner. The company hasn't disclosed to us who that partner is, but we did a little digging and we think we've found an Android version of the same device – we reckon it's the same hardware as the Gigaset GX6. It's very much the sort of phone this vulture favors – a robust, IP68-compliant slab, with a headphone socket and a chunky 5,000 mAh battery, which the end user can remove and replace with nothing more than a spudger.

It was good to meet face to face and to sit down and tackle some issues together. One of the topic discussed was improving our communication towards users, so here is a much needed update on the status of our fundraiser! This post should have been published a few months earlier but there were so much things happening around Kdenlive that it was hard to follow, so sorry for the delay! It’s been a bit more than 2 years since we launched our very successful fundraiser. This allowed us to fund some much wanted features, and as a side goal, allowed me to spend more time on Kdenlive. Thanks to your donations, I will be able to dedicate two days per week to Kdenlive instead of one. Note that this only sponsors part of my work as I spend much more time to Kdenlive, but hopefully this will relieve some stress and I will have a healthier weekly rhythm. During this time, there were around 1,900 commits to the Kdenlive repository, meaning about 3.8 commits per day! We didn’t take that much vacation, did we? Also worth noting is that we handled the port to Qt6 during that time, which was a big task and took a lot of effort.

This change leads to faster unpacking, smaller file sizes when downloading, and better integration with modern distros. In addition, Mozilla Thunderbird 135 adds support for specifying a cookieStoreId when creating a space, the ability to ignore unsupported subkeys/ signatures when importing compliant OpenPGP keys, and support for CardDAV address books and calendars to use the same OAuth2 code as mail.

Stick To These Rules When Picking Distro — I love writing articles like this! Maybe it’s because they push the boundaries a little, often challenging conventional wisdom. But mostly, it’s because they allow me to share years of experience directly with you, our readers—in the most frank approach. So, you’re a Windows or macOS user ready to dive into the fascinating, last bastion of tech romance: open-source and Linux. First off, congratulations – that’s an awesome decision! Now, the first big step is choosing the right Linux distribution as your entry point to this (hopefully) years-long adventure. And let me tell you – this choice is huge because the first impressions often make or break the experience, shaping whether you stick with it or give up in frustration. That’s why I’m writing this—to help you make an informed decision so you can hit the ground running on your Linux journey.

To achieve this transformation, telecommunication service providers are adopting new and distributed architectures that use software-defined, disaggregated infrastructure and automation for the delivery and management of diverse services. * ⚓ Bryan Lunduke ☛ Red_Hat_Adding_Hey_Hi_(AI)_to_Fedora_GNU/Linux_& GNOME⠀⇛ Red Hat's Director of Desktop, outlines plans for 2025: "Big item on our list is looking at ways Fedora can make use of Artificial Intelligence" from IBM. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Open_source_AI:_Red_Hat’s_point-of-view [Ed: Red Hat is openwashing and spreading promotion of somewhat of a Ponzi scheme, piggybacking hype and buzzwords.]⠀⇛ More than three decades ago, Red Hat saw the potential of how open source development and licenses can create better software to fuel IT innovation. Thirty-million lines of code later, Linux not only developed to become the most successful open source software but the most successful software to date. Our commitment to open source principles continues today, not only in our business model, but in our corporate culture as well. We believe that these concepts can have the same impact on artificial intelligence (AI) if done the right way, and yet there is a distinct divide within the technology world as to what “the right way” is. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ AI_in_the_life_sciences:_building_the_platform, growing_the_ecosystem [Ed: Here again Red Hat is name-dropping buzzwords and misleads the public with them.]⠀⇛ Open source is more than open code. That’s why Red Hat launched InstructLab, to make sure transparency, a heterogeneous community and an easy on-ramp are baked into fine tuning models and building use cases for generative AI (gen AI). It’s also why we’re all in on advancing a technology platform where domain researchers, engineers and global hardware and software vendors can collaborate to develop new AI tools and solutions and improve those already in use. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Common_Vulnerability_Scoring_System_(CVSS)_vs._Risk: Why_are_we_still_having_this_conversation?⠀⇛ Today, many organizations are still measuring the security of their environments by CVSS scores alone.

They’re not bad, but they’re extremely developer-focused in their “use case”. This_is_not_a_new_observation, of course, but the changed technical and social context of Hey Hi (AI) seems to be bringing it to the fore that different users have different variations on the values and why open is so important to them. o § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ # ⚓ DBHub.io_Shutdown⠀⇛ DBHub.io will cease operating at the end of February The DBHub.io online platform hasn’t really gained any traction, so we’re shutting it down at the end of this month. At that time all data (including user databases) will be deleted and the servers will be decommissioned. Apologies for the short notice Ideally we’d provide several months of notice for people to arrange alternative hosting elsewhere. However, the ongoing financial cost each month of operating the platform has to date been borne by Justin Clift personally, and his finances can no longer accommodate the expense. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2326 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/04/Ubuntu_BSD_and_Red_Hat.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/04/Ubuntu_BSD_and_Red_Hat.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ubuntu, BSD, and Red Hat⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 04, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇sudo⦈_ * § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ o ⚓ Ubuntu Fridge ☛ The_Fridge:_Ubuntu_Weekly_Newsletter_Issue_877⠀⇛ Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue 877 for the week of January 27 – February 1, 2025. o ⚓ Ubuntu News ☛ Ubuntu_Weekly_Newsletter_Issue_877⠀⇛ * § BSD⠀➾ o ⚓ FreeBSD ☛ Laptop_Support_and_Usability_Project_Update:_First Monthly_Report_&_Community_Initiatives⠀⇛ The FreeBSD Foundation’s Laptop Support and Usability Project is in full swing, and staying updated has never been easier.

Buildbot has never been designed to do what Flathub needs: taking arbitrary inputs like application IDs and dynamically creating new pipelines. However, there's no misuse one cannot achieve if something is being configured in A Real Programming Language, and so, back in 2019, Alex_Larsson piled a bunch of hacks so we could have not only dynamic configuration based on Flathub organization in Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub , but also some custom views displaying latest builds. o ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_VXLAN_encapsulation_affects_Arm_(aarch64)_servers⠀⇛ In the previous article, Linux_on_Arm_(aarch64) servers..., we examined flat networks. That is, we used only bare network interfaces and nothing else. That's a good start, but it is often not the topology used, especially with solutions like OpenStack. So in this installment, let’s evaluate how impactful VXLAN encapsulation can be for throughput and CPU consumption. We’ll reuse the hosts and testing procedures, with only the modifications to add VXLAN.
