For this month we had no predetermined topic. However, as always, there were mentions of many modes, packages, technologies and websites, some of which I had never heard of before, and some of this may be of interest to you as well. I was only on for an hour before I had to drop off; hopefully people did not save their bon mots for the period after my departure. layover weighting recouped * § FOSDEM⠀➾ o ⚓ Andreas_Schneider:_Local_authentication_hub⠀⇛ by Alexander_Bokovoy and Andreas Schneider FOSDEM 2025 is just behind us and it was a great event as always. Alexander and I had a chance to talk about the local authentication hub project. Our FOSDEM talk was “localkdc_–_a_general_local_authentication_hub”. You can watch it and come back here for more details. But before going into details, let us provide a bit of a background. It is 2025 now and we should go almost three decades back (ugh!). o ⚓ Ariadne Conill ☛ C_SBOMs,_and_how_pkgconf_can_solve_this problem⠀⇛ I recently attended FOSDEM, and saw a talk in the SBOM devroom_about_a_software_engineer’s_attempts_to_build_an SBOM_for_a_C_project. There are a number of reasons why the C ecosystem is difficult to reflect in SBOMs, but the largest problem is that the C ecosystem is fractured across a handful of build systems: GNU Autotools, CMake and Meson are the primary build systems used by projects but there are hundreds of others in the long tail. A key thing that these build systems have in common is that they can integrate with pkg-config, which is a database that describes available build dependencies and their use. This database, naturally, is of significant relevance to SBOM generation, because it already has most of the relevant information needed to generate an SBOM. pkgconf has a bomtool_utility_which_is_intended_to generate_SBOMs_using_pkg-config_data. But how can this be leveraged in practice? o ⚓ Alexander_Bokovoy:_Local_authentication_hub⠀⇛ FOSDEM 2025 is just behind us and it was a great event. I had a chance to talk about the local authentication hub project. The talk was well received and I got a lot of questions about the project. We ran Identity and Access Management devroom for the second time in row and it was a great success. I had two talks at the IAM devroom, both were process reports on the activity we have announced at FOSDEM 2024. Now that both recordings of the both talks published, I can share articles which go into more details. o ⚓ FOSDEM ☛ FOSDEM_2025_-_How_we_are_defending_Software_Freedom against_Apple_at_the_EU's_highest_court⠀⇛ This talk will explain why this court case is pivotal for Free Software in Europe. In case the FSFE succeeds, Free Software developers will enjoy higher degrees of software freedom in Apple devices. They will also enjoy better access and interoperability by being able to demand effective and free-of-charge interoperability between their software and Apple’s software and hardware. o ⚓ Terence Eden ☛ Presenting_ActivityBot_at_FOSDEM⠀⇛ Because I'm an optimist, I submitted a few talks to FOSDEM in the hope one might be accepted. Because I'm lucky, I got two speaking slots. Because I'm an idiot, I decided to do both talks. On the same day. An hour apart. On opposite ends of the venue. * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ PGConf.BE_2025:_Call_for_Papers_&_Sponsors⠀⇛ Announcing the Belgian PostgreSQL Conference PGConf.be_2025 is the fifth Belgian PostgreSQL conference in Haasrode, Leuven. The conference will take place on May 6th, 2025. Registration for the conference will be opened later. The Call_for_Papers is open until March 15th.

He further explains the Raspberry Pi 5 had a few HATs including a Hailo Hey Hi (AI) accelerator, but that’s about all the information we have so far, and I assume he used the distilled model with 1.5 billion parameters.

The new Meerkat is configurable with up to an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor, a significant leap from the previous generation. System76 indicates that this translates to a jump from 12 to 16 cores compared to what the last generation (powered by 13th gen Intel Core chips) topped out at, so in terms of pure raw power, it's a lot better. System76 also says that we have a 62% increase in RAM speed—the press release doesn't give us specifics, but the previous model came with DDR4-3200 RAM, and we have DDR5-5600 here, so that's the reason why. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ The_Best_Linux_Laptops_of_2025⠀⇛ Love Linux?

This is what TigerBeetle presented in “Snapshot Testing For The Masses” (see also Oh Snap!). In my case, Zine is a static site generator and, as such, it has files as the natural unit of input/output, meaning that my tests look more like integration tests orchestrated by the build system, rather than unit tests written in Zig files. To be clear, I do have unit tests for my parsers, but for the static site generator as a whole, integration tests are the way to go. * ⚓ Jussi Pakkanen ☛ C++_compiler_daemon_testing_tool⠀⇛ In an earlier blog post I wrote about a potential way of speeding up C++ compilations (or any language that has a big up-front cost). The basic idea is to have a process that reads in all stdlib header code that is suspended. Compilations are done by sending the actual source file + flags to this process, which then forks and resumes compilation. Basically this is a way to persist the state of the compiler without writing (or executing) a single line of serialization code. The obvious follow up question is what is the speedup of this scheme. That is difficult to say without actually implementing the system. There are way too many variables and uncertainties to make any sort of reasonable estimate. So I implemented it. * ⚓ Andy_Wingo:_baffled_by_generational_garbage_collection⠀⇛ Usually in this space I like to share interesting things that I find out; you might call it a research-epistle-publish loop. Today, though, I come not with answers, but with questions, or rather one question, but with fractal surface area: what is the value proposition of generational garbage collection? § hypothesis⠀➾ The conventional wisdom is encapsulated in a 2004 Blackburn, Cheng, and McKinley paper, “Myths_and_Realities:_The Performance_Impact_of_Garbage_Collection”, which compares whole-heap mark-sweep and copying collectors to their generational counterparts, using the Jikes RVM as a test harness. (It also examines a generational reference-counting collector, which is an interesting predecessor to the 2022 LXR work by Zhao, Blackburn, and McKinley.) The paper finds that generational collectors spend less time than their whole-heap counterparts for a given task. This is mainly due to less time spent collecting, because generational collectors avoid tracing/copying work for older objects that mostly stay in the same place in the live object graph. The paper also notes an improvement for mutator time under generational GC, but only for the generational mark-sweep collector, which it attributes to the locality and allocation speed benefit of bump-pointer allocation in the nursery. However for copying collectors, generational GC tends to slow down the mutator, probably because of the write barrier, but in the end lower collector times still led to lower total times. So, I expected generational collectors to always exhibit lower wall-clock times than whole-heap collectors. § test workbench⠀➾ In whippet, I have a garbage collector with an abstract API that specializes at compile-time to the mutator’s object and root-set representation and to the collector’s allocator, write barrier, and other interfaces. I embed it in whiffle, a simple Scheme-to-C compiler that can run some small multi-threaded benchmarks, for example the classic Gabriel benchmarks. We can then test those benchmarks against different collectors, mutator (thread) counts, and heap sizes. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ C++_Is_45_Years_Old._[Stroustrup]_Says_You_Still_Don’t_Get It!⠀⇛ We were surprised when we read a post from C++ creator [Bjarne Stroustrup] that reminded us that C++ is 45 years old.

Write a script to re-arrange the given array in an increasing order and return the indices where it differs from the original array. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ How_to_Get_Started_Creating_Interactive_Notebooks_in Jupyter⠀⇛ You may think of programming as typing code into an interpreter, text editor, or IDE. Enter Jupyter, a radically different way of programming that freely mixes text, code, and graphics into interactive documents. It's powerful but also easy to use. § What Is Jupyter? Jupyter is a "notebook interface" that lets you create "literate programs," programs that mix code with explanatory text. Jupyter is an offshoot of the IPython project, which aims to create a better interactive mode for Python. While Jupyter incorporates IPython, it's still available as a standalone program. Despite the name, Jupyter doesn't support Python only. Python is one of the many language "kernels" you can use with it. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1024 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/10/Review_Serpent_OS_0_24_6_and_Aurora.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/10/Review_Serpent_OS_0_24_6_and_Aurora.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Review: Serpent OS 0.24.6 and Aurora⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Feb 10, 2025 Quoting: DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD. — At the start of this review I mentioned a number of issues I have with Aurora. Things like a lack of documentation, multiple ISO files, unusually large ISO files, a lack of a live desktop environment for testing, and not a lot of descriptive writing about the distribution's special features. I also ran into a few minor issues with the Anaconda installer. With all of this said, once Aurora was installed and running, the experience was mostly good. The distribution appears to be trying to make it easier for Linux enthusiasts, experienced desktop users, and developers to access more tools faster. These goals are, in my opinion, accomplished. While Aurora is a bit of a pain to set up (much like its parent), once it is running it offers some nice conveniences, such as enabling Flathub inside Discover, BoxBuddy, Brew and shortcuts like ujust. I wouldn't say there is a big difference (yet) between running Fedora Kinoite and using Aurora, but there are some little improvements, some nice shortcuts, and quicker access to more software. Aurora is still a young distribution and I feel it hasn't really come all the way into its distinct form at this time. However, it is introducing some nice tools for developers and I especially appreciate the BoxBuddy container manager which facilitates setting up test environments.

After some initial confusion, I’ve come up with a screenshot workflow that works for me. * ⚓ Net2 ☛ 4_Benefits_of_Compressing_Files_and_Folders_Using_Tar_Backup_in GNU/Linux_OS⠀⇛ Have you ever tried working on some changes, and you did not create a backup first? It’s dreadful to lose your important files, right? One good rule of thumb in making changes with your system is to secure a backup first. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ This_Linux_Tool_Lets_You_Search_DuckDuckGo_in_the_Terminal [Ed: But_DDG_is_a_Microsoft_proxy; do not use it]⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1447 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/10/today_s_howtos.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/10/today_s_howtos.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 10, 2025 * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ The_Prometheus_host_agent_is_missing_some_Linux NFSv4_RPC_stats_(as_of_1.8.2)⠀⇛ Adding the missing operations to the Prometheus host agent would require updates to both prometheus/procfs (to add fields for them) and to node_exporter itself, to report the fields. The NFS client stats collector in collector/nfs_linux.go uses Go reflection to determine the metrics to report and so needs no updates, but the NFS server stats collector in collector/ nfsd_linux.go directly knows about all 40 of the current operations and so would need code updates, either to add the new fields or to switch to using Go reflection. * ⚓ Vincent Delft ☛ Just_my_memory_here_is_how_I've_configure_OpenBSD_and FreeBSD_for_a_IPv6_Wifi⠀⇛ Every year stand one of the biggest OpenSource conference, and this is close to my house. The subject of this blog is to explain how I've configured my OpenBSD 7.6 and FreeBSD 14.1 to connect to their wifi which only "speak" IPv6 This is not a setup I encountered frequently, and I just want to remember how I did it ;) * ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ How_to_Install_Speedtest_Tracker_to_Monitor_Your_Internet Speed⠀⇛ Learn how to install Speedtest Tracker with Docker and monitor your internet speed with real-time results. * ⚓ dwaves.de ☛ GNU/Linux_Debian:_howto_setup_nginx_+_php_+_mariadb_(mysql) Pixelfed_decentralized_social_control_media_sharing_program_(why_so complex?)⠀⇛ * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_HandBrake_on_CentOS_Stream_10⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install HandBrake on CentOS Stream 10. HandBrake is a versatile, open-source video transcoder that’s invaluable for converting video files from one format to another. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_ImageMagick_on_CentOS_Stream_10⠀⇛ ImageMagick is a versatile command-line tool used for displaying, converting, and editing image files. It supports a wide variety of image formats, including JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and many others. Whether you’re a developer, system administrator, or graphic designer, ImageMagick provides powerful capabilities for image manipulation. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Setup_Virtual_Host_Apache_on_CentOS_Stream_10⠀⇛ Virtual hosting is a method of hosting multiple domain names on a single server. It allows one server to share its resources, such as memory and CPU, among multiple websites, making it cost-effective and efficient. Using Apache virtual hosts on CentOS Stream 10 can significantly streamline web hosting management. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1541 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/10/today_s_leftovers.1.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/10/today_s_leftovers.1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 10, 2025 § GNU/Linux⠀➾ * ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Linuxiac_Weekly_Wrap-Up:_Week_6_(Feb_3_–_9,_2025)⠀⇛ Catch up on the latest GNU/Linux news: LibreOffice 25.2, OpenWrt 24.10, Debian 13 to feature GNOME 48, Freedesktop, Alpine & Serpent OS are facing challenges, and more. * § Entrapment/Security⠀➾ o ⚓ Hexnode_expands_OS_support_to_Linux,_ChromeOS_and_Apple_visionOS, streamlining_enterprise_device_management⠀⇛ As digital transformation accelerates, concerns about security risks associated with traditional systems like Linux have prompted businesses to seek more secure operating systems. However, even emerging systems like visionOS, designed with advanced security features, are not immune from increasing cyber threats. As cybercriminals evolve, proactive security measures are crucial for both legacy and modern systems. * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ Tux Digital ☛ This_Week_in_Linux_297:_Linux_/_Rust_saga continues,_Void_Linux,_Firefox_135,_FOSS_funding_needs_&_more_GNU/ Linux_news⠀⇛ This week in Linux, we have a lot to talk about with the GNU/Linux kernel getting, or maybe not getting, Rusty. There’s a little bit of drama there. Also, the Void GNU/ Linux project has a new release of their distribution. EA has provided an update regarding Apex Legends and Linux. * § Kernel Space⠀➾ o ⚓ Dan_Horák:_kernel_6.14-rc1_available,_but_panics_on_PowerNV⠀⇛ After some struggles to get the kernel building with the latest GCC 15 compiler introduced ~3 weeks ago in Rawhide, we have a -rcX kernel available again in the RawhideNoDebug repo. Unfortunately there is a bug in the cpufreq subsystem causing the 6.14-rc1 kernel to panic on a PowerNV systems like our Power9 Taloses. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Philipp_Kern:_20_years⠀⇛ 20 years ago, I got my Debian Developer account. I was 18 at the time, it was Shrove Tuesday and - as is customary - I was drunk when I got the email. There was so much that I did not know - which is also why the process took 1.5 years from the time I applied. I mostly only maintained a package or two. I'm still amazed that Christian Perrier and Joerg Jaspert put sufficient trust in me at that time. Nevertheless now feels like a good time for a personal reflection of my involvement in Debian. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o ⚓ Jan Piet Mens ☛ Jan-Piet_Mens_::_Notes_to_self_on_Netbox_and Ansible⠀⇛ I’ve shied away from using Netbox for years now, but this past week I decided I should at least know a bit about it, so I tried to grasp the basics. Thanks for wonderful chaps on the Fediverse who hammered some main points into my brain, I’m actually been able to get some basic features to work. o § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ # § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Dan_Horák:_Firefox_128.7.0_ESR_built_for_ppc64le⠀⇛ The JIT-enabled Firefox 128.7.0 ESR has been built for Fedora/ppc64le in my Talos COPR repository. The corresponding sources are in my fork of the official Fedora Firefox package and the JIT is coming from Cameron's work.Currently only Fedora 40 and 41 builds exist, because the build fails for Fedora 42 (and Rawhide) due to the changes in the buildroot - new GCC 15 and other updates. Hopefully I will be able to provide some updates soon, but I haven't dug into it fully yet. o § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ # ⚓ The New Stack ☛ The_Metamorphosis_of_Open_Source:_An Industry_in_Transition⠀⇛ Twenty years ago, declaring your project “open source” was a statement of principle, philosophy, and community. Today, it’s more likely to be a business decision, a marketing strategy, or a talent acquisition tool. This shift is not a failure of open source; it’s a sign of its success. o § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ # § Open Data⠀➾ # ⚓ [Old] Duke University ☛ Recommended_File_Formats_for Digital_Preservation_|_Duke_University_Libraries⠀⇛ We considered many factors to determine best preservation level for a given format include, which included: • Whether the format employs lossless/lossy compression • Open source rather than proprietary software used for creation or access • How widespread the format is • Whether a format allows for embedded files (e.g., a spreadsheet in a PowerPoint presentation that depends on Excel to open; a PDF containing a Quicktime movie) o § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ # ⚓ Stuart_Langridge:_Use_RSS_to_read_newsletters⠀⇛ Everyone's got a newsletter these days (like everyone's got a podcast). In general, I think this is OK: instead of going through a middleman publisher, have a direct connection from you to the people who want to read what you say, so that that audience can't be taken away from you. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1729 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/10/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/02/10/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 10, 2025 § GNU/Linux⠀➾ * § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ o ⚓ The Cyber Show ☛ #039_|_S5_|_In_The_Chair_|_Botslayer:_API Defence_with_AI⠀⇛ A new generation of network bots is upon us.
