Thankfully, the app hasn't leaped into artificial intelligence (as I don't believe AI has any business in the creative arts), and it has continued to be one of the most powerful image editors on the market. I've never wanted a different application when I create book covers or have other image-editing requirements. But there are certain features I've depended on more than others to get my work done. Without these features, creating high-quality images would have been considerably more challenging.

It offers numerous benefits, such as effectively increasing a node’s memory by swapping out unused data, shielding nodes from system-level memory spikes, preventing Pods from crashing when they hit their memory limits, and much_more. As a result, the node special interest group within the Kubernetes project has invested significant effort into supporting swap on GNU/Linux nodes. The 1.22 release introduced Alpha support for configuring swap memory usage for Kubernetes workloads running on GNU/Linux on a per-node basis. Later, in release 1.28, support for swap on GNU/Linux nodes has graduated to Beta, along with many new improvements. In the following Kubernetes releases more improvements were made, paving the way to GA in the near future. * § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ o ⚓ Cory Dransfeldt ☛ I_built_myself_a_TV_guide⠀⇛ Scheduled episodes can be Watched, Aired or Upcoming.

I hate the word backend, it sounds like I’m… let’s just stop that sentence before it goes any further. Among some changes: I’ve reworked my ZFS datasets, though more for our_wiki than the blog because it has an upload facility (which always scares me a bit). It should make my backups easier too. o ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ powa-collector_1.3.1_is_out!⠀⇛ The PoWA team is pleased to announce the release of the version 1.3.1 of powa-collector, a simple multi-threaded python program that performs the snapshots for all the remote servers configured in a powa repository database. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 370 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/26/Debian_and_Ubuntu_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/26/Debian_and_Ubuntu_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Debian and Ubuntu Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 26, 2025 * § Debian Family⠀➾ o ⚓ Sparky GNU/Linux ☛ Materialgram⠀⇛ There is a new application available for Sparkers: Materialgram.

This is a good question and we have two approaches that we use in combination. First, we have a prepared file of debconf selections for each Ubuntu version and we feed this into debconf-set-selections before we start installing packages. However in practice this file doesn't have much in it and we rarely remember to update it (and as a result, a bunch of it is somewhat obsolete). We generally only update this file if we discover debconf selections where the default doesn't work in our environment. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 444 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/26/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/26/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 26, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇data_Backup⦈_ * ⚓ Restic_Backup_GX_offers_a_simple_GUI_for_restic_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Restic Backup GX is a simple GUI for restic, built with Electron and Vue3.

But before proceeding, let’s clarify things. OpenH264 is an open-source video codec library developed by Cisco (which covers the licensing fees for using the H.264 patent pool) that implements the H.264 standard, one of the world’s most widely used for compressing and decompressing video data. Now, back to the topic. Read_on Update In LWN: * ⚓ Bhattcharya:_Closing_the_chapter_on_OpenH264⠀⇛ Boudhayan Bhattcharya has posted a lengthy article about the announcement that the Freedesktop project is dropping OpenH264 from the Freedesktop_SDK for Flatpak applications and runtimes. Some Flatpak applications that depend on the Freedesktop runtime version 23.08 will lose H.264 playback support starting with the release scheduled for April, unless application developers replace it with the ffmpeg-full extension. The 24.08 runtime is unaffected, and future releases will include a new codecs-extra extension to replace OpenH264 that includes FFmpeg with support for a number of patented codecs. Considering all things, I think and hope we made the correct decision and hopefully the new org.freedesktop.Platform.codecs- extra works out. libx264, libx265 and others are built from source and there are no binaries or extra-data involved. So we should theoretically be able to patch and fix any issues that come up in the future. Apart from all this, I'm slightly worried at the prospects of legal issues cropping up with this setup and also that the new extension contains "too much", but we will have to see where things flow. ⠿⠿⠇⠀⠀⢸⣷⣦⣤⣤⣴⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⡆⠸⠿⠿ ⣰⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⣤⣠ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⠁ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⡿⠿⠿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠛⠿⡟⠋⠉⠀⠀⠈⠻⠿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠛⠋⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠉⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠫⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡁⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⡇⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣷⣰⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠀⢰⣿⣿⢃⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢿⣿⣿⣦⣾⣿⠿⢿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⠟⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣦⣀⣾⣿⠇⣼⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⢿⠿⢆⣀ ⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⡇⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠻⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⠉⣿⣿⣇⣤⣾⣿⣟⣁⣀⣿⣿⣏⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠶⠀⣀⣿ ⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⡇⠸⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⣤⣀⣴⣿⣿ ⠉⠀⠠⡤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡿⢰⡶⢶⣶⣶⡶⢶⡶⠆⣶⢰⠀⣴⣶⣴⠶⢀⣶⠀⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠶⣶⣶⢰⡆⢰⣶⣶⣴⣶⡆⣶⣴⡶⣶⣦⡆⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢿⣶⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡟⢻⣿⣿⣟⣻⣟⠀⣿⢻⢀⣴⡏⣿⣻⣾⣿⡄⣿⣤⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⡛⣿⣤⢸⣇⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣡⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠉⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠋⠀⠉⠀⠉⠋⠙⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠋⠈⠋⠉⠙⠛⣙⣉⣿⣥⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣷⣶⡖⣂⣤⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣄⣄⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣷⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠉⣩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠏⠻⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟ ⣶⣶⡄⠰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠛⢿⣿⡏⠀⠀⢰⣶⣶ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 644 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/26/_FSF_Events_in_Ukraine_and_in_IRC.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/26/_FSF_Events_in_Ukraine_and_in_IRC.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ "FSF Events" in Ukraine and in IRC⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 26, 2025 * ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_Events:_Community_meetup_in_Lviv,_Ukraine⠀⇛ Meet, discuss, work together, plan activities, and cooperate * ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_Events:_Free_Software_Directory_meeting_on_IRC:_Friday,_April 4,_starting_at_12:00_EDT_(16:00_UTC)⠀⇛ Join the FSF and friends on Friday, April 4 from 12:00 to 15:00 EDT (16:00 to 19:00 UTC) to help improve the Free Software Directory. * ⚓ FSF ☛ FSF_Events:_Free_Software_Directory_meeting_on_IRC:_Friday,_March 28,_starting_at_12:00_EDT_(16:00_UTC)⠀⇛ Join the FSF and friends on Friday, March 28 from 12:00 to 15: 00 EDT (16:00 to 19:00 UTC) to help improve the Free Software Directory. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 685 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/26/Games_3D_Printed_Gaming_PC_Civilization_VII_and_More.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/26/Games_3D_Printed_Gaming_PC_Civilization_VII_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: 3D-Printed Gaming PC, Civilization VII, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 26, 2025 * ⚓ The DIY Life ☛ This_Tiny_3D-Printed_Gaming_PC_Actually_Runs_Counter- Strike!⠀⇛ This tiny gaming PC is smaller than a can of Coke, runs backdoored Windows 11, and can even play Counter-Strike 2!

This marks a significant step forward in securing communications against future threats posed by quantum computing. Post-quantum cryptography refers to cryptographic algorithms that are designed to be secure against the computational power of quantum computers. Unlike classical computers, which perform calculations sequentially, quantum computers leverage quantum bits (qubits) and can perform certain types of calculations exponentially faster. This poses a serious threat to current cryptographic systems, such as the widely used Diffie-Hellman key exchange, which relies on the difficulty of solving discrete logarithm problems - a task that quantum computers could handle efficiently with Shor's algorithm.

Antigone had a great selection, with an emphasis on supporting small, independent publishers and authors and their ideas. You could find thousands of quality books there. They motivated me more than ever to help these kinds of places. It turned out that the people in charge of Antigone were dreaming of some form of software to help them. They had been using a free software program on a GNU/Linux OS for the library, but only had a spreadsheet in LibreCalc for the bookstore. While the system in place had worked, Antigone needed more than a basic spreadsheet to more effectively run its bookstore. With a small group of more experienced software developers and volunteers, we interviewed the leaders of Antigone and wrote a program based on their specifications. A few years later, after a false start and a short break, the volunteers at Antigone were using the very first version of Abelujo. That was a good feeling. Since then, I have expanded the software with more feedback from professional bookstores which benefit from these improvements.

All they want to know is: Does the thing work, and can I afford it? To my dismay, almost everyone I talk to at the conference agrees with Redmond. Executives, engineers, marketers, the people refilling the coffee: “Calista’s probably right,” they say. Now it’s my turn to get annoyed. I thought insides mattered! RISC is one of the great and ongoing stories of our time! People should care.

RQuantLib connects (some parts of) it to the R environment and language, and has been part of CRAN for nearly twenty-two years (!!) as it was one of the first packages I uploaded to CRAN. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Rakulang ☛ Rakudo_Weekly_2025.12_Red_on_RakuAST⠀⇛ Fernando Correa de Oliveira has written a nice blog post about the future of Red (an ORM for Raku), and how that would be influenced by having RakuAST become mainstream: The Future of Red ORM for Raku (/r/rakulang comments). * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Share_Python_Scripts_Like_a_Pro:_uv_and_PEP_723_for_Easy Deployment⠀⇛ Sharing single-file Python scripts with external dependencies is now effortless thanks to uv and PEP 723, which enable embedding dependency metadata directly within scripts. This approach eliminates the need for complex setup tools like requirements.txt or package managers, making script distribution and execution seamless and simplifying deployment while maintaining flexibility and efficiency. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1405 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/26/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/26/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 26, 2025 * ⚓ Hisham ☛ Sorting_"git_branch"_with_most_recent_branches_last⠀⇛ This is something I always have to look up whenever I set up a new machine, so I might as well store here: [...] * ⚓ Marc Brooker ☛ One_or_Two?_How_Many_Queues?⠀⇛ Are there cases where one queue still makes sense, even in this precommitted world? Not that I could find. * ⚓ DJ Adams ☛ Functional_programming_resources⠀⇛ I've created quite a bit of FP related content in the past but it's somewhat scattered across different platforms and in different formats and I can't remember what or where it all is. So this is a meta post in which I point to all the resources (that I can remember that) I've created on the topic. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ A_Bayesian_proportional_hazards_model_for_a_cluster_randomized trial⠀⇛ In recent posts, I introduced a Bayesian approach to proportional hazards modeling and then extended it to incorporate a penalized spline. (There was also a third post on handling ties when multiple individuals share the same event time.) This post describes another extension: a random effect to account for clustering in a cluster randomized trial. With this in place, I’ll be ready to tackle the final step—building a model for analyzing a stepped-wedge cluster-randomized trial that incorporates both splines and site-specific random effects. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ checkglobals:_an(other)_R-package_for_static_code_analysis⠀⇛ When it comes to package development, it is good practice to run R CMD check to perform a series of automated checks identifying possible issues with the R-package. Among the checks performed by R CMD check is a static inspection of the internal syntax trees of the code through the use of the codetools package. This code analysis discovers undefined functions and variables without executing the code itself, leading to the following (perhaps familiar) notifications: [...] * ⚓ arXiv ☛ Spatial_Data_Science_Languages:_commonalities_and_needs⠀⇛ Recent workshops brought together several developers, educators and users of software packages extending popular languages for spatial data handling, with a primary focus on R, Python and Julia. Common challenges discussed included handling of spatial or spatio-temporal support, geodetic coordinates, in-memory vector data formats, data cubes, inter-package dependencies, packaging upstream libraries, differences in habits or conventions between the GIS and physical modelling communities, and statistical models. The following set of insights have been formulated: (i) considering software problems across data science language silos helps to understand and standardise analysis approaches, also outside the domain of formal standardisation bodies; (ii) whether attribute variables have block or point support, and whether they are spatially intensive or extensive has consequences for permitted operations, and hence for software implementing those; (iii) handling geometries on the sphere rather than on the flat plane requires modifications to the logic of simple features, (iv) managing communities and fostering diversity is a necessary, on-going effort, and (v) tools for cross-language development need more attention and support. * ⚓ Daniel Lemire ☛ Unsigned_comparisons_using_signed_types⠀⇛ There are two main types of fixed-precision integers in modern software: unsigned and signed. In C++20 and above, the signed integers must use the two’s complement convention. Other programming languages typically specify two’s complement as well. * ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Researchers_raise_alarm_about_critical_Next.js vulnerability⠀⇛ The software defect in the widely used open-source JavaScript framework allows attackers to bypass middleware-based authorization. * ⚓ Josef_Strzibny:_Running_JavaScript_after_a_Turbo_Stream_renders⠀⇛ If you are building your application with Hotwire, your Turbo streams will likely add, remove, and replace some HTML nodes. This mostly works except when you want to add HTML that comes with some JavaScript. Like a file picker, Trix editor, and the like. Turbo itself won’t do anything about this. It’s a rather simple tool with simple purpose. JavaScript initialization should come with the HTML Turbo is about to add. Hotwire solves this with Stimulus. * ⚓ Adam_Young:_Diff_between_Code_review_versions⠀⇛ Bottom line up front: create a tag with each version of a code review you post, to be able to see changes between versions. Git commits come in (at least) three flavors. First is the personal flavor, where you commit to git in order to not lose some quantum of behavior you have just implemented. These commits are small, and may be breaking commits. They are not meant for upstream consumption in the long term. * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Dealing_with_Duplicate_Data_in_R_workshop⠀⇛ Description: Maintaining high data quality is essential for accurate analyses and decision-making. Unfortunately, high data quality is often hard to come by. This talk will focus on some “how-tos” of cleaning data and removing duplicates to enhance data integrity. We’ll go over common data quality issues, how to use the { {janitor}} package to identify and remove duplicates, and business practices that can help prevent data issues from happening in the first place. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Matt Keeter ☛ The_Prospero_Challenge⠀⇛ The "challenge" is simple: render the image as quickly as possible. A basic renderer is 28 lines of Python, using Numpy for pixel parallelism: [...] o ⚓ Remy Van Elst ☛ Fast_MQTT_logger_(to_syslog)⠀⇛ For almost 5 years I've been using the mqtt-data-logger python script to log all MQTT communication. This script works, but is a bit limited in how it stores logs (files per time it's started) and it often can't keep up with the message rate (tens of thousands per second) of my mqtt brokers. So I've written a new tool in C++ to log all MQTT messages to syslog and optionally to the terminal. Then, via syslog, you can send it to where ever you like, be it a file or an ELK (Logstash/Elasticsearch/ Kibana) stack. It even compiles without syslog support, if you only want to log to a file or the terminal. There's a docker image and a docker compose file, so you can easily deploy it wherever you have an MQTT broker running. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ Lawrence Tratt ☛ Better_Shell_History_Search⠀⇛ Since many command-line tools have hard-to-remember options, we can save huge chunks of time – not to mention make fewer errors – if we can search our shell history to find a previous incantation of a command we want to run. In this post I’m going to show how, with little effort, searching shell history can look like this: [...] * § Java⠀➾ o ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Chainguard_introduces_Java_libraries_for_secure language_dependency_management⠀⇛ Secure software supply chain solution provider Chainguard Inc. today announced Chainguard Libraries, a new product line that offers secure language libraries for Java built directly from source in supply-chain levels for software artifacts-hardened infrastructure. Libraries has been built with end-to-end integrity and native protection at package build and distribution. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Niko_Matsakis:_Dyn_async_traits,_part_10:_Box_box_box⠀⇛ This article is a slight divergence from my Rust_in_2025 series. I wanted to share my latest thinking about how to support dyn Trait for traits with async functions and, in particular how to do so in a way that is compatible with the soul_of_Rust. § Background: why is this hard? Supporting async fn in dyn traits is a tricky balancing act. The challenge is reconciling two key things people love about Rust: its ability to express high-level, productive code and its focus on revealing low-level details. When it comes to async function in traits, these two things are in direct tension, as I explained in my first_blog_post_in_this_series – written almost four years ago! (Geez.) o ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ GRUB_Gets_a_Taste_of_Rust_with_New_Prototype⠀⇛ There is no doubt that the Rust programming language is picking up serious momentum in the open-source world. We’re seeing more and more projects embrace it—like System76’s COSMIC desktop environment, which is being built entirely in Rust, and Fish Shell 4. o ⚓ Niko_Matsakis:_Dyn_you_have_idea_for_`dyn`?⠀⇛ Knock, knock. Who’s there? Dyn. Dyn who? Dyn you have ideas for dyn? I am generally dissatisfied with how dyn Trait in Rust works and, based on conversations I’ve had, I am pretty sure I’m not alone. And yet I’m also not entirely sure the best fix. Building on my last post, I wanted to spend a bit of time exploring my understanding of the problem. I’m curious to see if others agree with the observations here or have others to add. § Why do we have dyn Trait?⠀➾ It’s worth stepping back and asking why we have dyn Trait in the first place. To my mind, there are two good reasons. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1689 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/26/Red_Hat_is_Selling_Buzzwords_Hype_IBM_Impacted_by_Embargo_IBM_i.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/26/Red_Hat_is_Selling_Buzzwords_Hype_IBM_Impacted_by_Embargo_IBM_i.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat is Selling Buzzwords/Hype, IBM Impacted by Embargo, IBM is Also Laying Off Almost 10,000 Americans⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 26, 2025 * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Synthetic_data:_A_secret_ingredient_for_better language_models⠀⇛ Training high-performing LLMs requires vast amounts of diverse, high-quality data.

The Inspur units were listed for contributing to the development of supercomputers for the Chinese military, the Commerce department said in a posting. Five of the subsidiaries are based in China and one in Taiwan. Inspur Group itself was placed on the list in 2023. The Inspur units are among about 80 companies and institutes added to the export control list Tuesday. Over 50 are based in China. Others are in Taiwan, Iran, Pakistan, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates. * ⚓ IBM_Layoff:_A_Setback_for_US_Workers_but_a_Growth_Opportunity_for India’s_Tech_Sector⠀⇛ The US is IBM’s biggest market, and it is making major workforce changes in 2024, laying off around 9,000 employees. The Register report states that this is part of IBM's restructuring strategy, and many of these jobs may be relocated to India. The employees affected are spread across several divisions including IBM’s Cloud Classic division, which was formed from the acquisition of SoftLayer. It is estimated that 25 percent of that team is affected. This layoff is a blow to employees in the US but also an opportunity for India’s tech workforce. * ⚓ IBM_layoffs:_“Aim_is_to_shift_employment_to_India_as_much_as_possible,” say_sources⠀⇛ IBM is cutting off thousands of employees across numerous locations in the United States of America (ISA), as per a report by The Register. According to sources familiar with the situation, the employment losses include a significant drop in IBM's Cloud Classic segment. Layoffs were reported in Raleigh, North Carolina; New York City and State; Dallas, Texas; and California. The exact number of affected employees is unknown, but a source informed the publication that "concrete numbers are being kept private," adding, "It is in the thousands." Employees from multiple departments have been impacted. These include consultancy, corporate social responsibility, cloud infrastructure, sales, and internal information technology systems. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1801 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/26/Security_and_Windows_TCO.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/26/Security_and_Windows_TCO.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security and Windows TCO⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 26, 2025 * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Tuesday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by Debian (ruby-rack), Fedora (chromium, golang-github-openprinting-ipp-usb, OpenIPMI, and python-jinja2), Mageia (kernel, kernel-linus, and wpa_supplicant, hostapd), Red Hat (fence-agents, kernel, kernel-rt, libxml2, libxslt, and pcs), SUSE (cadvisor, docker, freetype2, nodejs-electron, php8, rsync, u-boot, warewulf4, webkit2gtk3, and zvbi), and Ubuntu (elfutils, python3.5, python3.8, ruby-rack, smartdns, and zvbi). * ⚓ OpenSSF (Linux Foundation) ☛ OpenSSF_Newsletter_–_March_2025 [Ed: It is not about "the Open Source Security community" but proprietary software vendors that put back doors in things]⠀⇛ Welcome to the March 2025 edition of the OpenSSF Newsletter!

If you are among the over 40% of Kubernetes administrators using ingress- nginx, you should take action immediately to protect your users and data. § Background Ingress is the traditional Kubernetes feature for exposing your workload Pods to the world so that they can be useful. In an implementation-agnostic way, Kubernetes users can define how their applications should be made available on the network. Then, an ingress_controller uses that definition to set up local or cloud resources as required for the user’s particular situation and needs. Many different ingress controllers are available, to suit users of different cloud providers or brands of load balancers. Ingress-nginx is a software-only ingress controller provided by the Kubernetes project. Because of its versatility and ease of use, ingress-nginx is quite popular: it is deployed in over 40% of Kubernetes clusters! Ingress-nginx translates the requirements from Ingress objects into configuration for nginx, a powerful open source webserver daemon. Then, nginx uses that configuration to accept and route requests to the various applications running within a Kubernetes cluster. Proper handling of these nginx configuration parameters is crucial, because ingress-nginx needs to allow users significant flexibility while preventing them from accidentally or intentionally tricking nginx into doing things it shouldn’t. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ NIST_Still_Struggling_to_Clear_Vulnerability Submissions_Backlog_in_NVD⠀⇛ The effects of the backlog is already being felt in vulnerability management circles where NVD data promises an enriched source of truth. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Oracle_Denies_Cloud_Breach_After_Hacker_Offers_to_Sell Data⠀⇛ Oracle has denied that Cloud systems have been breached after a hacker claimed to have stolen millions of records. * ⚓ Savoir-faire_Linux_Introduces_VulnScout.io,_Strengthening_Open-Source Security⠀⇛ Savoir-faire Linux released its open-source cybersecurity solution, the VulnScout.io, developed to aid in tracking, managing, and remediating product vulnerabilities more efficiently. It is committed to open-source and is active with both the Linux Foundation and the Yocto Project. “Openness is in our DNA,” comments Christophe Villemer, Executive Vice-President of Savoir-faire Linux and LF Energy governing board member, "That’s why we’ve chosen to release VulnScout.io under an open-source license. Our experience contributing to The Yocto Project and our deep involvement with Linux Foundation initiatives have paved the way for a truly community-driven, globally accessible solution." * § Windows TCO / Windows Bot Nets⠀➾ o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ VanHelsing_ransomware_emerges_to_put_a_stake through_Windows⠀⇛ Launched on March 7, this RaaS operation has already infected three organizations with ransom demands amounting to $500,000 a victim. Check Point's analysis suggests VanHelsing is a freshly developed ransomware strain, rather than a quick rebrand of existing malware code. o ⚓ Security Week ☛ Ransomware_Shifts_Tactics_as_Payouts_Drop: Critical_Infrastructure_in_the_Crosshairs⠀⇛ The primary motivating factor for ransomware is the money it generates. Apparently, more victims are declining to pay – but it is equally apparent that criminals are not ready to abandon this type of attack. “The decrease in payments might also push attackers to diversify their methods further. For example, we could see more focus on supply chain attacks or targeting critical infrastructure, where the stakes – and the potential payouts – are higher,” comments Casey Ellis, Founder at Bugcrowd. o ⚓ Cyble Inc ☛ Union_County_Cyberattack:_Personal_Data_Stolen⠀⇛ Union County, Pennsylvania, has fallen victim to a ransomware attack that compromised personal information belonging to its more than 40,000 residents. The Union County Cyberattack, discovered on March 13, 2025, has prompted an urgent response from county officials and federal law enforcement. * § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾ o ⚓ NPR ☛ Days_after_the_Signal_leak,_the_Pentagon_warned_the_app_was the_target_of_hackers⠀⇛ A Signal spokesman said the Pentagon memo is not about the messaging app's level of security, but rather that users of the service should be aware of what are known as "phishing attacks."

How_to_scale_smarter_with_Ansible_and_amazon.aws_9.0.0⠀⇛ In our previous article, What's_New:_Cloud_Automation_with amazon.aws_9.0.0, we introduced the latest release of the Red Bait Ansible Certified Content Collection for Amazon Web Services (AWS). We covered key updates, new features, and recently supported modules designed to simplify cloud automation. This article kicks off a three-part series exploring real-world use cases that showcase the power of these new capabilities. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Docker_Desktop_on_CentOS_Stream_10⠀⇛ Docker has revolutionized the way developers build, deploy, and manage applications through containerization technology. While Docker Engine provides the core containerization functionality via command-line tools, Docker Desktop delivers a more comprehensive, user- friendly experience with an intuitive graphical interface. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Flask_on_Fedora_41⠀⇛ Flask stands as one of the most popular Python web frameworks for developers seeking a lightweight yet powerful solution for web application development. With Fedora 41’s robust package management system and up-to- date repositories, installing Flask has never been easier or more efficient. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Add_Comments_in_YAML_File⠀⇛ YAML (YAML Ain’t Markup Language) has become an indispensable tool in modern configuration management and data serialization. Its human-readable format makes it a favorite among developers and system administrators for configuring applications, defining infrastructure as code, and storing structured data. However, as YAML files grow in complexity, maintaining them becomes challenging without proper documentation. * ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ How_to_Setup_Multi-Node_Kubernetes_Cluster_on_Ubuntu⠀⇛ Kubernetes (often abbreviated as K8s) is an open-source platform designed to automate the deployment, management, and scaling of containerized applications. In simpler terms, it lets you group GNU/Linux container hosts into clusters and takes the hassle out of managing them. * ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ Setting_Up_Ollama_With_Docker⠀⇛ Learn to run Ollama in Docker container in this tutorial. Yes, Nvidia GPU can also be used in this setup. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2604 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/26/today_s_howtos.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/26/today_s_howtos.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 26, 2025 * ⚓ Network World ☛ Managing_and_monitoring_user_accounts_on_Linux⠀⇛ There are a number of commands on Linux that you can use to manage user accounts and monitor user activity. This post provides details on the commands that you need to know if you are managing a Linux server and the user accounts on that system. * ⚓ ZDNet ☛ How_to_compile_your_first_Linux_kernel_(and_3_reasons_why_you should)⠀⇛ I remember the first time I compiled a Linux kernel. I was nervous. It was something I'd never done before, and it seemed like an incredibly difficult task. After all, isn't the kernel the stuff of elite programmers? If so, why would I even bother? Because I could. * ⚓ Jan-Piet_Mens_::_SSH_keys_from_a_command:_sshd's_AuthorizedKeysCommand directive⠀⇛ The program I wire up to this parameter can obtain SSH public key strings (the same lines of data we otherwise encounter in an AuthorizedKeyFile) from whichever source it wants to query. For instance, I could attempt to query an LDAP directory server over a network and fail over to a local (emergency?) list of keys stored in a database local to the server, thereby permitting a small group of administrators to actually login to the server. Let’s look at a very simple example of AuthorizedKeysCommand to demonstrate the concept: [...] * ⚓ Matching_drop_shadows_across_CSS,_Android,_iOS,_Figma,_and_Sketch⠀⇛ The CSS and Android examples may look the same, but they’re slightly different. The image below demonstrates that the Android shadow is slightly blurrier. Please note that the Android shadows in this article are generated with setShadowLayer, rather than Material elevation. * ⚓ The_case_for_“old_school”_CSS⠀⇛ The use case is i18n. If you’re new to Drupal, or someone like me who returned from a long hiatus since Drupal 7, the Drupal documentation SEO is a little messed up if you just Google directly. Largely because Drupal 7 had such a long, long shelf life. * ⚓ Phil_Eaton_on_Technical_Blogging⠀⇛ Over the past decade(ish), Phil has “chased his way down the software stack.” Building upon humble beginnings with jQuery and PHP, he later co-founded TigerBeetle and is currently a staff engineer working on Postgres products at EnterpriseDB. At every step along the way, he’s been fostering community: dedicating who-knows-how-many hours to spearheading book clubs, meetups, Discord groups, subreddits, and 1:1 chats that benefit education non-profits. He’s also exceedingly generous about sharing his thoughts and learnings with the global community of readers. Since 2018, he’s kept up an impressive cadence of two posts per month, tackling topics ranging from compilers, to community building, to Zig and C. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2701 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/26/Ubuntu_Based_Zorin_OS_17_3_Is_Now_Available_Targeting_Windows_1.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/26/Ubuntu_Based_Zorin_OS_17_3_Is_Now_Available_Targeting_Windows_1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Ubuntu-Based Zorin OS 17.3 Is Now Available Targeting Windows 10 Users⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Mar 26, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Zorin_OS_17.3⦈_ Coming six months after Zorin OS 17.2, this release is powered by Linux kernel 6.8 from Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) and includes the latest NVIDIA 570 graphics drivers with support for the newest NVIDIA RTX 5000 series graphics cards.

That might’ve been true 15 years ago, but today, Linux distributions come with polished user interfaces, easy installation wizards, and even built-in app stores.

This major update introduces support for running Xojo on Linux ARM, including Raspberry Pi, brings drag-and-drop functionality to the Web framework, and simplifies app deployment with the ability to directly submit apps to the macOS and iOS App Stores. Here’s a quick overview of what’s new in Xojo 2025r1: § 1. Linux ARM IDE Support Xojo 2025r1 now allows developers to run the Xojo IDE on Linux ARM devices, including popular platforms like Raspberry Pi. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities for developers who want to create apps for ARM-based devices without the usual complexity. Whether you’re building for a Raspberry Pi or other ARM devices, this update makes it easier than ever to get started. § 2. Web Drag and Drop One of the standout features in this release is the addition of drag-and-drop support for web applications. Now, developers can easily drag and drop visual controls in their web projects, making it simpler to create interactive, user- friendly web applications. Plus, the WebListBox has been enhanced with support for editable cells, checkboxes, and row reordering via dragging. No JavaScript required!
