The project aims to create a system that is simple, transparent, and easy to pick up, without having to give up practicality and a rich feature set. It is built from scratch using novel tooling, approaches, and userland. Instead of intentionally limiting ourselves, Chimera strives to achieve both conceptual simplicity and convenience with careful and high quality software design. Chimera comes with a novel userland setup based on FreeBSD core tools (replacing coreutils and related projects like findutils, diffutils, sed or grep. Chimera uses binary packaging. The choice of package manager is apk-tools, known from Alpine Linux. Chimera is not a fork of Alpine, and uses the next-generation version of apk-tools, known as APKv3, being the first distribution to practically deploy it at this scale.

It may seem odd but it's not. Haiku is a recreation of a late-1990s OS. News for you: in the 1990s and until then, computers didn't do power management. The US government had to institute a whole big programme to get companies to add power management. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Star Aggressive power management is only a thing because silicon vendors lie to their customers. Yes, seriously. From the mid-1970s for about 30 years, adding more transistors meant computers got faster. CPUs went from 4-bit to 8-bit to 16-bit to 32-bit, then there was a pause while they gained onboard memory management (Intel 80386/Motorola 68030 generation) then scalar execution and onboard hardware floating point (80486/68040 generation), then onboard L1 cache (Pentium), then superscalar execution and near-board L2 cache (Pentium II), then onboard L2 (Pentium III), then they ran out of ideas to spend CPU transistors on, so the transistor budget went on RAM instead, meaning we needed 64-bit CPUs to track it. The Pentium 4 was an attempt to crank this as high as it would go by running as fast as possible and accepting a low IPC (instructions per clock). * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Mozilla_Addons_Blog:_Rethinking_Extension_Data Consent:_Clarity,_Consistency,_and_Control⠀⇛ Hello, extension developers! I’m Alan, the Product Manager at Mozilla responsible for the Firefox add- ons ecosystem. I wanted to share news about a project we’re working on that will streamline how extension developers implement user data consent experiences. § Firefox extension data collection policies protect our users Today, our Add-on policies dictate that any extension that collects or transmits user data must create and display a data consent dialog. This consent dialog must clearly state what type of data is being collected and inform the user about the impact of accepting or declining the data collection. * § Programming/Development⠀➾ o ⚓ KDAB ☛ Model/View_Drag_and_Drop_in_Qt_-_Part_3⠀⇛ In this third blog post of the Model/View Drag and Drop series (part_1 and part_2), the idea is to implement dropping onto items, rather than in between items. QListWidget and QTableWidget have out of the box support for replacing the value of existing items when doing that, but there aren't many use cases for that. What is much more common is to associate a custom semantic to such a drop. For instance, the examples detailed below show email folders and their contents, and dropping an email onto another folder will move (or copy) the email into that folder. o § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ Qt ☛ Year_of_the_Snake:_Qt_for_Python_6.9_is_out!⠀⇛ 2025 is the year_of_the_snake! 🐍 and for that we are happy to tell you that the Qt for Python development keeps moving forward, by improving our modules PySide6 and shiboken6, but also envisioning the future of Qt and Python integrations. o § Rust⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Rust_1.86.0_released⠀⇛ Version 1.86.0 of the Rust language has been released. Changes include support for trait upcasting, the ability to index multiple elements of HashMaps and slices mutably, and a number of stabilized APIs. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 458 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/05/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/05/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free, Libre, and Open Source Software Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 05, 2025 * § Linux Foundation⠀➾ o ⚓ EBU,_Linux_Foundation_and_NABA_make_Dynamic_Media_Facilities_real with_the_open_source_MXL_project⠀⇛ Every technological shift needs foundations to be put in place first. The EBU, together with the Linux Foundation and the North American Broadcasting Association (NABA) are doing that now with the creation of the Media eXchange Layer (MXL), a code package that standardises how media processing functions running in virtualized environments can share and exchange data with each other. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux_Foundation_releases_Valkey_8.1⠀⇛ This latest release brings a raft of new capabilities to the product, including better performance and reduced latency. It also includes early versions of three new features that will be released later this year. * § Events⠀➾ o ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ PGConf.NYC_2025_-_Call_For_Presentations_(CFP)_and Sponsors!⠀⇛ PGConf_NYC_2025 is back Sept 29 - Oct 1, 2025! Join us in the heart of New York City to connect with engineers, contributors, and decision-makers from across the PostgreSQL ecosystem. Have a PostgreSQL victory or challenge to share? The call for_papers is open until May 25, 2025! * § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ o ⚓ Chris Wellons ☛ Lessons_learned_from_my_first_dive_into WebAssembly⠀⇛ WASM is a specification defining an abstract stack machine with a Harvard architecture, and related formats. There are just four types, i32, i64, f32, and f64. It also has “linear” octet-addressable memory starting at zero, with no alignment restrictions on loads and stores. Address zero is a valid, writable address, which resurfaces some, old school, high level language challenges regarding null pointers. There are 32-bit and 64-bit flavors, though the latter remains experimental. That suits me: I appreciate smaller pointers on 64-bit hosts, and I wish I could opt into more often (e.g. x32). * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ RIPE ☛ Hands-On_the_Network:_Our_Experience_with_RouterLab⠀⇛ In the winter semester of 2024, students of Saarland University were able to attend Router Lab - a new course organised by the Max Planck Institute for Informatics (MPI-INF) that was taught by Taha Albakour, Tiago Heinrich, Q Misell and Sina Rostami, and supervised by Tobias Fiebig. Router Lab was a block course that aimed at bringing students closer to the practical side of the concepts they learned in theoretical network courses. Over a period of two weeks, they would learn how set up their own Autonomous System on real hardware using real Internet resources. o ⚓ Maclean's ☛ Schools_vs._Screens⠀⇛ According to Adam, the previous school year had been a gong show. Students arrived every morning with phones out and AirPods in, bleary-eyed from late nights scrolling. They texted during the national anthem and played mobile games under their desks. They shared pictures and videos of each other, of teachers and of after-school fights. They coordinated mid-period vape breaks in group chats. One student went to the bathroom and returned with an Uber Eats delivery. Any time Adam wrote on the board, he’d turn back around to find students glued to their glowing screens. Engagement had plummeted, grades were declining and, because Adam was constantly policing students’ phone use, his bond with them was fraying. “These kids want to do well, but they’re so lost,” says Adam. (I changed his name because he feared retribution from his administration for speaking to me.) * § GNU Projects⠀➾ o ⚓ GNU ☛ datamash_@_Savannah:_GNU_Datamash_1.9_released⠀⇛ This is to announce datamash-1.9, a stable release. Home page: https://www.gnu.org/software/datamash GNU Datamash is a command-line program which performs basic numeric, textual and statistical operations on input textual data files. It is designed to be portable and reliable, and aid researchers to easily automate analysis pipelines, without writing code or even short scripts. It is very friendly to GNU Bash and GNU Make pipelines. There have been 52 commits by 5 people in the 141 weeks since 1.8. * § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ o ⚓ APNIC ☛ 'BGP_Flowspec_doesn't_suck._We're_just_using_it_wrong'⠀⇛ Those who have followed me for a while may be aware I am a big proponent of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Flowspec. I’ve published a short book, Day One: Deploying BGP Flowspec, detailing how to configure it on Juniper devices. At the recent APRICOT 2025, I delivered a presentation entitled ‘BGP Flowspec doesn’t suck. We’re just using it wrong‘. I truly believe that BGP Flowspec can be a big help to operators in blocking these attacks. Like most things in IT, BGP Flowspec does not come without drawbacks and must be implemented properly. In this post, I’ll give a refresher on BGP Flowspec and why I believe more operators should test and adopt the technology. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 627 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/05/Games_FreeBSD_Fidget_Toy_Oldies_Politics.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/05/Games_FreeBSD_Fidget_Toy_Oldies_Politics.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: FreeBSD, Fidget Toy, Oldies, Politics⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 05, 2025 * ⚓ Vermaden ☛ Minecraft_Server_in_FreeBSD_Jails_Container⠀⇛ Today – as my son requested – we will talk about Minecraft server … inside FreeBSD Jails container.

PC Gamer was fortunate enough to get a sneak peek at his slides, and one of the takeaways is that PC gaming is bigger than ever: And we love to play old games. The results are extrapolated from a yearly in-depth survey of 73,000 players, alongside data from over 10,000 games. From this Newzoo says that the PC market is growing at a steady rate, with an estimated 873.5 million players in 2023 rising to 907.5 million in 2024. * ⚓ Meduza ☛ ‘Go_back_to_the_kitchen’:_Journalists_at_Glasnaya_Media_ask why_so_many_Russian_gamers_hate_women_—_Meduza⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 689 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/05/Games_Haste_Hungry_Horrors_Mechabellum_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/05/Games_Haste_Hungry_Horrors_Mechabellum_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: Haste, Hungry Horrors, Mechabellum, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 05, 2025 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Steam_Deck_Verified_round-up_for_early_April_25_with new_and_upcoming_games⠀⇛ Need a fresh game for the weekend and you're playing on Steam Deck or Desktop Linux?

We’d further like to thank Debian for their sponsorship of accommodation of Helmut and Jochen. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Ubuntu_25.04_Plucky_Puffin_beta_takes flight⠀⇛ According to Canonical's official schedule, the final release of Plucky Puffin is due in two weeks as we write – April 17. The Plucky beta appeared a little after that of Fedora 42, which we looked at in late March. Both projects sync their release cycles to the semi-annual release cycle of GNOME, which is their default desktop, but Ubuntu's schedule is stricter – Fedora's is more flexible, and a release is delayed if testing reveals problems. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Android Police ☛ I_took_100_cat_photos_on_my_Samsung_Galaxy S25_Ultra_and_actually_learned_a_lot_about_the_camera⠀⇛ To test the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra’s cameras, I needed a subject who could best trial the Galaxy’s sensors.

They are relatively easy to use, but their free tiers are now rather limited, and you have to rely on the cloud. Huginn is a self-hosted, open- source alternative to IFTTT or Zapier that can work on your own network without cloud connectivity. Andrew Cantino released the first version of the project 12 years ago (in 2013) by Andrew Cantino, but it now has a larger community of developers and users.

Naveen was not satisfied with this workflow while using a TP-link Kasa EP25 Smart Plug to monitor his LLM workstation’s power consumption. So he wrote the WattWise command-line interface (CLI) for power monitoring smart plugs to allow him to throttle his power-hungry, dual AMD Ryzen EPYC 7C13 workstation following his utility’s Time of Use (ToU) pricing in order to lower his electric bill. The Python tool pulls power usage data from smart plugs directly or through Home Assistant and presents it in a neat terminal-based UI. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Seeed_Studio_XIAO_7.5″_ePaper_panel_supports_ESPHome firmware,_Arduino_programming⠀⇛ Seeed Studio XIAO 7.5″ ePaper Panel interfaces an XIAO ESP32-C3 USB-C board and mainly targets the Smart Home market with support for ESPHome, but the monochrome ePaper display is also programmable with the Arduino IDE for a wider range of applications. The display offers a resolution of 800×400 and includes a 2,000mAh battery good for three months per charge with updates every 6 hours. Seeed Studio says the display can operate in the -40°C to 85°C temperature range, so it would be suitable for outdoor use as long as it’s not exposed to rain or dust. * § Events⠀➾ o ⚓ Bootlin ☛ Call_for_papers_for_OSS_Europe,_ELC_Europe,_Zephyr Developer_Summit:_until_April_14⠀⇛ Aside from the upcoming Embedded Recipes conference in Nice on May 14-16, one of the most significant events for the open-source embedded community in Europe will be the Open Source Summit Europe.

Designed for HMI applications, the board offers MIPI DSI and CSI connectors, as well as a 100Mbps Ethernet RJ45 jack, four USB 2.0 ports,  a 40-pin GPIO header, and more. * ⚓ Elizabeth_K._Joseph:_A_VisionFive_2_and_a_Raspberry_Pi_1_B⠀⇛ A couple weeks ago I was playing around with a multiple architecture CI setup with another team, and that led me to pull out my StarFive VisionFive 2 SBC again to see where I could make it this time with an install. I left off about a year ago when I succeeded in getting an older version of Debian on it, but attempts to get the tooling to install a more broadly supported version of U-Boot to the SPI flash were unsuccessful. Then I got pulled away to other things, effectively just bringing my VF2 around to events as a prop for my multiarch talks – which it did beautifully! I even had one conference attendee buy one to play with while sitting in the audience of my talk. Cool. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Supercon_2024:_Quick_High-Feature_Boards_With_The_Circuit Graver⠀⇛ These days, if you want to build something with modern chips and components, you probably want a custom PCB. It lets you build a neat and compact project that has a certain level of tidiness and robustness that you can’t get with a breadboard or protoboard. The only problem is that ordering PCBs takes time, and it’s easy to grow tired of shipping delays when you don’t live in the shadow of the Shenzhen board houses. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ First_PCB_With_The_Smallest_MCU?⠀⇛ [Morten] works very fast. He has already designed, fabbed, populated, and tested a breakout board for the new tiniest microcontroller on the market, and he’s even made a video about it, embedded below. * ⚓ Guido_Günther:_Booting_an_Android_custom_kernel_on_a_Pixel_3a_for_QMI debugging⠀⇛ As you might know I'm not much of an Android user (let alone developer) but in order to figure out how something low level works you sometimes need to peek at how vendor kernels handles this. For that it is often useful to add additional debugging. One such case is QMI communication going on in Qualcomm SOCs. Joel_Selvaraj wrote some nice tooling for this. To make use of this a rooted device and a small kernel patch is needed and what would be a no-brainer with GNU/Linux Mobile took me a moment to get it to work on Android. Here's the steps I took on a Pixel 3a to first root the device via Magisk, then build the patched kernel and put that into a boot.img to boot it. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1254 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/05/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/05/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 05, 2025 * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Running_aggregate_on_wide_matrices_takes_loooong;_use_nested apply_or_data_tables_instead_!⠀⇛ The aggregate function can be very useful in R, allowing one to run a function (e.g. mean) within groups of rows, in each column in a matrix/data-frame and organize the results in an easy-to-read table. * ⚓ Yoshua Wuyts ☛ Syntactic_Musings_on_View_Types⠀⇛ Here's a silly little insight I had the other day: if you squint, both View Types and Pattern Types seem like lightweight forms of Refinement Types 1. Both will enable constraining types, but in slightly different and complementary ways. Let's take a look at this using an example of an RGB struct containing fields for individual Red, Green, and Blue channels stored as usize 2: [...] * ⚓ Uwe Friedrichsen ☛ (Un)coupling_in_distributed_systems_-_Part_2⠀⇛ In the previous post, we started to discuss a specific type of coupling, the coupling between processes in a distributed system. We discussed the fallacy that loose technical coupling, i.e., using a message-based communication style is sufficient to ensure loose coupling between processes. We learnt that instead we need to implement loose coupling at a technical and a functional level to actually become loosely coupled. In this second and final post of this little blog series, we will discuss the redundancy fallacy and the 3rd type of coupling, we need to consider in the context of remote communication, which is temporal coupling. Let us start with the redundancy fallacy. * ⚓ Unmitigated Risk ☛ Decision-making_as_a_Product_Manager_|_UNMITIGATED RISK⠀⇛ Your most valuable contribution isn’t the individual decisions you make, but how you architect the feedback loops that transform customer interactions into organizational learning. By systematically capturing and applying these insights, you create not just a product but an ever-evolving organism that adapts and thrives in changing conditions. * ⚓ Bozhidar Batsov ☛ Learning_OCaml:_Regular_Expressions⠀⇛ One of the things that bothered me initially in OCaml was the poor support for working in regular expressions in the standard library. Technically speaking, there’s no support for them at all! What do I mean by this? Well, there’s the older Str library that provides support for regular expressions, but it’s: [...] * ⚓ Raymond Camden ☛ Scheduling_Code_in_BoxLang⠀⇛ Code wise, you load a BoxLang class that can define one or more tasks, each with it's own name, schedule, and code. This class can also define multiple different lifecycle events giving you the ability to run things before task execution, after it, and more. Let's look at a small example. * ⚓ Declan Chidlow ☛ Open-Source_is_Just_That_|_Vale.Rocks⠀⇛ As someone who has been known to write open-source software and contribute to open-source projects, I have some thoughts on the matter. Particularly, the growing sense of entitlement among users. When software is open-source, it means it is open-source – that the source is open – nothing more. This simple fact is frequently misunderstood, so let me be crystal clear about what open-source does not automatically mean by default: [...] * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Population_pyramid_plots_with_base_R⠀⇛ That’s quite a lot of dependencies, and my tiny app had quite a long load time, so I started whittling things down. The parquet files got replaced with .CSVs, so no need for arrow. fread() was gone, replaced with read.csv(). Good old fashioned base R replaced dplyr. plotly was gone and I was back to static ggplot2. But that by itself has a lot going on under the hood, so I figured I should try and use base graphics instead. * ⚓ Corrode.dev ☛ Pitfalls_of_Safe_Rust⠀⇛ When people say Rust is a “safe language”, they often mean memory safety. And while memory safety is a great start, it’s far from all it takes to build robust applications. Memory safety is important but not sufficient for overall reliability. In this article, I want to show you a few common gotchas in safe Rust that the compiler doesn’t detect and how to avoid them. * ⚓ Linux Journal ☛ Git_on_Linux:_A_Beginner’s_Guide_to_Version_Control_and Project_Management⠀⇛ Version control is a fundamental tool in modern software development, enabling teams and individuals to track, manage, and collaborate on projects with confidence. Whether you're working on a simple script or a large-scale application, keeping track of changes, collaborating with others, and rolling back to previous versions are essential aspects of development. Among various version control systems, Git has emerged as the most widely used and trusted tool — especially on Linux, where it integrates seamlessly with the system's workflow. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Perl ☛ The_Perl_Toolchain_Summit_2025_Needs_You⠀⇛ Photo © Salve J. Nilsen, 2023, CC-BY-NC-4.0 This year in particular, the_organizers have had difficulty reaching our fundraising targets for the Perl Toolchain_Summit. In_the_words_of_Ricardo_Signes: > The Perl Toolchain Summit is one of the most important events in the > year for Perl. A lot of key projects have folks get together to get > things done. Everyone who is invited to the Summit is a project leader or important contributor that is going to give their time and expertise for four days, to move the Perl toolchain forward. They give their time (sometimes having to take days off work, which is already a loss of income or holidays for them). * § Golang⠀➾ o ⚓ Leon Mika ☛ On_Go_And_Using_Comments_For_Annotations⠀⇛ It’s a little strange that Go doesn’t have first-class language features for annotations: arbitrary bits of non- executing metadata that you can add to the code base. There are struct tags, yes, but they’re only applicable for fields on a struct type. Nothing analogous really exists for functions, or even just files. And yet there seems to be a need for something to declare build flags, go generate commands, and lint opt-outs. o ⚓ [Old] Luciano Nooijen ☛ My_favourite_way_to_handle_SQL_in Golang⠀⇛ But this is not an article about why Go is great, but rather on how to handle SQL. Considering Golang is not made to be used in Ruby on Rails-type frameworks, you’ll most likely have to set up the SQL-logic yourself. My approach to SQL handling in Golang is the result of trying out a lot of approaches and seeing what works and what doesn’t. This approach is mostly aimed at building API services, backed by a database. In my case, I use Postgresql, though other SQL databases should also work with a few tweaks. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Rust Blog ☛ The_Rust_Programming_Language_Blog:_C_ABI_Changes_for `wasm32-unknown-unknown`⠀⇛ The extern "C" ABI for the wasm32-unknown-unknown target has been using a non-standard definition since the inception of the target in that it does not implement the official_C_ABI_of_WebAssembly and it additionally leaks internal_compiler_implementation_details of both the Rust compiler and LLVM. This will change in a future version of the Rust compiler and the official_C_ABI will be used instead. This post details some history behind this change and the rationale for why it's being announced here, but you can skip straight to "Am_I_affected?" as well. o ⚓ Rust Blog ☛ The_Rust_Programming_Language_Blog:_Help_us_create_a vision_for_Rust's_future⠀⇛ tl;dr: Please take our survey_here Rust turns 10 this year. It's a good time to step back and assess where we are at and to get aligned around where we should be going. Where is Rust succeeding at empowering everyone to build reliable, efficient software (as it says on our webpage)? Where are there opportunities to do better? To that end, we have taken on the goal_of_authoring_a_Rust_Vision_RFC, with the first milestone being to prepare a draft for review at the upcoming Rust All Hands. § Goals and non-goals ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1517 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/05/Red_Hat_IBM_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/05/Red_Hat_IBM_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Red Hat / IBM Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 05, 2025 * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_navigate_LLM_model_names⠀⇛ One of the first challenges of working with large language models (LLMs) is understanding their names. This article will demystify some of the common naming conventions used by popular models. I will break down the naming conventions of LLMs, explaining how branded names, versioning, model size, and purpose play a role in their identification. Understanding these conventions helps users select the right model for their needs. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Simplify_Hey_Hi_(AI)_data_integration_with_RamaLama_and_RAG⠀⇛ The RamaLama project makes it easy to run Hey Hi (AI) locally by combining Hey Hi (AI) models and container technology. The RamaLama project has prepared all software necessary to run an Hey Hi (AI) model in container_images specific to the local GPU accelerators. Check out How RamaLama_makes_working_with_Hey_Hi_ (AI)_models_boring for an overview of the project. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Appeals_court_revives_lawsuit_alleging_IBM_bilked pensioners⠀⇛ IBM may have seen off a lawsuit accusing it of using outdated mortality data to underfund retiree pensions, but an appeals court has now reopened the matter to further litigation. A three-judge panel of the Second US Circuit Court of Appeals decided yesterday to remand [PDF] a lower court's dismissal of a proposed class-action lawsuit accusing Big Blue of underpaying pensioners back to the Southern District of New York. Rather than simply dismissing the matter after finding the case had been filed too late, the appeals judges should have tried harder to check the documents' timing by opening the door to additional document discovery, the panel found. The original case, filed in 2022 by IBM retiree Joshua Knight, alleged the IBM Personal Pension Plan violated several parts of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974, particularly those relating to actuarial equivalence, anti- forfeiture, and joint and survivor annuity requirements. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1584 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/05/SaaS_Back_End_Public_Clown_Computing_Thundermail_and_Thunderbir.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/05/SaaS_Back_End_Public_Clown_Computing_Thundermail_and_Thunderbir.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ SaaS/Back End: Public 'Clown Computing', Thundermail and Thunderbird Pro, and Match Tag/Query Pattern⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 05, 2025 * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Public_sector_still_hanging_on_to_private_cloud⠀⇛ Nevertheless, some governments, such as France and Japan, are investing in and subsidizing local alternatives to the global cloud giants in order to create domestic champions and avoid complete dependence on foreign firms.

That’s how Thunderbird does things and we believe it is our super power. It is also a major reason we exist: to create open source communication and productivity software that respects our users. Because you can see how it works, you can know that it is doing the right thing. The Why for offering these services is simple. Thunderbird loses users each day to rich ecosystems that are both products and services, such as Gmail and Office365. These ecosystems have both hard vendor lock-ins (through interoperability issues with 3rd-party clients) and soft lock-ins (through convenience and integration between their clients and services). It is our goal to eventually have a similar offering so that a 100% open source, freedom-respecting alternative ecosystem is available for those who want it. We don’t even care if you use our services with Thunderbird apps, go use them with any mail client. No lock-in, no restrictions – all open standards. That is freedom. * ⚓ Mike Rockwell ☛ Thunderbird_Launching_an_Email_Service⠀⇛ I’m not able to find any details about what the service will cost or if it will include any unique features at all, but I still signed up for the waitlist. * ⚓ Malcom Coles ☛ Match_Tag/Query_Pattern_-_pid1⠀⇛ This week I implemented a pattern I find myself reaching to quite often.

Linux Journal ☛ Mastering_GNU/Linux_File_Permissions_and_Ownership⠀⇛ In the world of Linux, where multi-user systems and server security are foundational principles, understanding file permissions and ownership is crucial. Whether you're a beginner exploring your first GNU/Linux distribution or a seasoned system administrator managing critical servers, knowing how permissions work is key to ensuring the integrity, privacy, and functionality of your system. This guide will take you deep into the core of GNU/Linux file permissions and ownership—what they are, how they work, how to modify them, and why they matter. * ⚓ Rachel Andrew ☛ CSS_multicol_block_direction_wrapping⠀⇛ And, now we’re doing it. I’m working on the specification (which is in a very draft state right now). There’s also an experimental implementation behind a runtime flag in Chrome Canary, thanks to the work of Morten Stenshorne at Chrome. If you want to follow along as we pick through the details, keep an eye on the css-multicol-2 tag. * ⚓ Jan Piet Mens ☛ Forwarding_GnuPG_agent_over_SSH⠀⇛ Long story short, I’ve learned quite a bit about GnuPG. My first successful experiments in getting keys onto a token were with Yubikey 5C I have here, but these are quite dear, and I asked Mario for some recommendations on alternatives. Long story short, I found a CCID-compatible reader for EUR 16 and floss-shop have Zeitcontrol OpenPGP Smart Cards beginning at EUR 18 which totals half the price of a Yubikey 5C. (Note, though, that the Yubikey has many more features on it than the OpenPGP cards!) * ⚓ Jan Piet Mens ☛ Overriding_GnuPG's_PIN_entry⠀⇛ What I’ve then typically done is to reconfigure gpg-agent.conf with a different pinentry and reloaded the agent. Here’s an example with pinentry-tty: [...] * ⚓ Chris Coyier ☛ Frontend_Masters_“Snackable_Tutorials”⠀⇛ Frontend Masters now has a Tutorials section of their site. Just makes your subscription all the more valuable, I suppose. I’ve got a couple videos on there now, based on a little component I was obsessed with for a minute. I re-created it my own way using an HTML Web Component and modern CSS fancy stuff. * ⚓ Daniel Holden ☛ Filtering,_Convolutions,_and_Quaternions⠀⇛ In my previous article on Animation Quality I mentioned something a bit cryptic - which is that if you talk to signal processing folks, they'll tell you that almost everything we do in terms of handling the temporal aspect of animation data is wrong! This topic came up again at work recently, and I thought I should finally do an article about exactly what I meant by this, and take a detailed look over another area of animation programming which I feel is probably a little neglected. So let's get into it. * ⚓ TecMint ☛ 5_Best_Tools_to_Compare_Text_Files_in_Linux⠀⇛ In this guide, we’ll walk you through various methods to compare text files in Linux, from basic command-line tools to advanced visual diff tools. Each method has its own strengths, and we’ll explain when to use which one. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Bauh_on_Fedora_41⠀⇛ Fedora 41 offers a robust GNU/Linux experience with cutting-edge features, but managing multiple package formats can become challenging. Bauh provides an elegant solution by unifying package management across different formats through a user-friendly graphical interface. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Postman_on_CentOS_Stream_10⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Postman on CentOS Stream 10. Postman has become an indispensable tool for developers and testers working with APIs. Whether you’re building, testing, or documenting APIs, Postman streamlines these processes with its intuitive interface and powerful features. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Pritunl_VPN_Server_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS⠀⇛ Securing your network connections and protecting sensitive data has become crucial in today’s digital landscape. Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) offer a reliable solution for establishing secure connections across the internet. Pritunl VPN, an open-source enterprise VPN server, stands out for its simplicity and robust features. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_OpenResty_on_Fedora_41⠀⇛ OpenResty has emerged as a powerful web platform for developers seeking high-performance solutions for their web applications. By extending the traditional Nginx architecture with LuaJIT integration, OpenResty enables the creation of dynamic, scalable web services that can handle complex tasks efficiently. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_XnConvert_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS⠀⇛ XnConvert stands as a powerful batch image processor that allows Ubuntu users to effortlessly convert and manipulate large collections of images with just a few clicks. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2622 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/05/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/05/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 05, 2025 * § Games⠀➾ o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_Proper_OS_For_The_Sega_Genesis/Megadrive⠀⇛ The console wars of the early 1990s had several players, but the battle that mattered was between Nintendo’s SNES and Sega’s Genesis, or Megadrive if you are European. They are both famous for their games, but in terms of software they can only run what’s on a cartridge.
