stable releases, with the latest version 8.1 coming out just two weeks ago, boasting impressive benchmarks, claiming sub‑millisecond response times under heavy loads. But what’s even more important is that many Linux distributions have started including Valkey in their repositories, replacing Redis, which is no longer considered open-source. What this means in practice is that Valkey is quietly becoming the default offering for countless developers who need an in-memory key/ value NoSQL data store. And now, Arch Linux has joined the list of distributions making the switch. Today, Arch’s maintainers announced that Valkey will replace Redis in Arch’s [extra] repository. In light of this, as of April 17, 2025, the “redis” package will enter a two-week grace period. During this 14-day window, users can continue to install and update Redis directly from the repo, ensuring they have sufficient time to test and migrate existing deployments. Read_on An update The original: * ⚓ Valkey_to_replace_Redis_in_the_[extra]_Repository⠀⇛ Valkey, a high-performance key/value datastore, will be replacing redis in the [extra] repository. This change is due to Redis modifying its license from BSD-3-Clause to RSALv2 and SSPLv1 on March 20th, 2024. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡜⢰⡄⠀⠀⡀⠀⣀⢠⣦⣾⣷⣾⣤⣷⣠⣠⣿⣤⣼⣀⡆⢀⡀⠠⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⢈⡗⠀⢠⣿⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢸⡇⠐⡇⠄⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢁⢸⣿⣷⣺⡿⠉⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣧⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⠘⢻⣿⣿⠛⠓⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡤⣼⢤⢾⣿⡟⠀⠠⢤⣤⣀⢀⣿⣿⡟⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⡆⣿⢲⢾⡟⠀⠀⠀⠠⠉⢙⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣄⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⢰⠱⣿⢸⡛⠀⠱⣦⣄⡀⢠⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣧⡆⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⡀⢘⢸⢸⡿⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⣀⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣄⡀⠀⠀⠔⠛⠀⡀⣿⡟⡾⣦⠟⠾⢷⣦⡄⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⢧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣧⡆⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⡿⠁⠈⢻⢠⢘⣦⠁⡇⡇⣿⣤⣿⠿⣤⣀⠀⠉⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠙⠢⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠹⢸⣿⡔⠋⢸⡸⡍⡇⣧⡾⣿⣿⢇⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣏⣷⡇⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⠿⠢⢴⡾⠀⠸⡇⠋⡣⢙⣋⠀⠁⠀⠀⠰⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡇⢸⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣼⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⡆⢸⣷⣤⣿⠈⠉⠓⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣇⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣧⣾⢻⠿⠻⢶⣶⣶⣤⣤⣼⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣶⣶⣦⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠆⣅⣼⣿⠀⠀⢈⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠟⠋⢁⡠⠤⣀⠉⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢲⠉⡠⢤⡈⠙⡆⠀⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠣⠤⠷⣤⡇⠀⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣀⠈⠓⠦⡤⢤⣀⣀⣤⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣶⣄⣀⣴⣿⣿⡟⠀⢀⣠⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 263 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/18/Audiocasts_Shows_Linux_Matters_and_BSD_Now.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/18/Audiocasts_Shows_Linux_Matters_and_BSD_Now.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Audiocasts/Shows: Linux Matters and BSD Now⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 18, 2025 * ⚓ Linux_Matters:_Crafting_Bookshelf_Buddy⠀⇛ Alan talks about Luddites at Monki Gras 2025, Mark continutes working on (and names) Bookshelf Buddy, and Martin keeps an eye on resources. * ⚓ The BSD Now Podcast ☛ BSD_Now_607:_Sign_those_commits⠀⇛ We should improve libzfs somewhat, Accurate Effective Storage Performance Benchmark, Debugging aids for pf firewall rules on FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Thunderbolt issue on ThinkPad T480s, Signing Git Commits with an SSH key, Pgrep, LibreOffice downloads on the rise, and more ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 298 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/18/Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/18/Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Best Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 18, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Corel_Capture_logo⦈_ * ⚓ Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Alternatives_to_Corel_Capture_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Corel Capture is software which captures and saves images of your computer screen with one click, including the entire screen, individual windows, or menu lists.

It is very tempting to turn them into a neat, well-organized database structure that you can search efficiently right away. However, this assumes you did think of everything that you might ever want out of this data. What if you find some exciting new piece of metadata in them, something you didn't care about before? What if your original conversion script had a bug that you'd now like to fix? What if the site you're archiving suddenly changes its format? (Your scraper scripts are now broken...? maybe just in subtle ways?) Meanwhile, if you just save the original bytes, you can fix everything later. Plus, given the amount of data your own social media posts consist of (... and which this post was primarily concerned about), a few Python scripts can go through them every single time you're looking for something.

That remains the case with the Framework Laptop 13, which is back for 2025 using the AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series platform. * ⚓ MIT Technology Review ☛ How_a_1980s_toy_robot_arm_inspired_modern robotics⠀⇛ It wasn’t just kids who found the Armatron so special. It was featured on the cover of the November/December 1982 issue of Robotics Age magazine, which noted that the $31.95 toy (about $96 today) had “capabilities usually found only in much more expensive experimental arms.” A few years ago I found my Armatron, and when I opened the case to get it working again, I was startled to find that other than the compartment for the pair of D-cell batteries, a switch, and a tiny three-volt DC motor, this thing was totally devoid of any electronic components. It was purely mechanical. Later, I found the patent drawings for the Armatron online and saw how incredibly complex the schematics of the gearbox were. This design was the work of a genius—or a madman. * ⚓ Framework Computer BV ☛ Framework_|_Reviews_on_the_new_Framework_Laptop 13_are_live!⠀⇛ The first reviews of the new Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series) are now live, and the first Batch 1 customer systems start shipping tomorrow! This is our 7th version of Framework Laptop 13, and the refinement that comes from iteration really comes through in the reviews. With the Ryzen 9 option, this is by far the highest-performance Framework Laptop 13 too, across both multi-threaded CPU compute and graphics. Reviewers also really enjoyed the new translucent Bezel color options. * ⚓ Coreboot (Official) ☛ Expanding_Collaboration:_New_Ways_to_Engage_with the_coreboot_Project⠀⇛ The coreboot project has always thrived on community contributions and collaboration. As the open-source firmware ecosystem continues to grow, we’re introducing several new initiatives to make it easier for companies, organizations, and individuals to engage with our project. Whether you’re a seasoned firmware developer or new to the coreboot community, we want to lower the barriers to participation and create more flexible pathways for contribution. * ⚓ YLE ☛ Teen_spends_conscription_in_Finnish_Army_tinkering_with_military drones⠀⇛ A self-taught drone and UAV builder, Aarrejoki carried out his project in a small windowless lab at the university, filled with 3D printers. The printers were used to manufacture most of the parts for both Aarrejoki's drone and a ground robot designed by Captain Andersson. According to Andersson, 3D printing is especially useful for cost-effective and rapid prototyping, both in development settings and potentially on the battlefield. * ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Build_a_home_recording_studio_with_Raspberry_Pi_500: choosing_your_equipment⠀⇛ Following on from our guide to setting up an acoustically treated recording space at home, it’s time to get to the hardware. Quieter than an actively cooled Raspberry Pi 5 setup in most cases, Raspberry Pi 500 is a great studio computer (other Raspberry Pi 4, 400, and 5 models also work well, if you use a silent case or no fan), but you’ll need a little more equipment than that. * ⚓ Michał Sapka ☛ Commodore_64_Assembly,_part_2:_registers,_memory, labels,_constants,_and_numbers⠀⇛ Hello and welcome to the second part of my descend into maelstrom assembly. First of all: I've learned that I am not learning to write assembler. Assembler is program which converts assembly language into machine code. Does this change anything? No. Will it clarify it to anyone? Perhaps. But does it give me lots of street cred? Also no. Let's begin our second part. What follows are my notes, so they assume mine (low) level of understanding of programming and computers. But,hey. Maybe they will inspire someone? What is important, is that I am following a great video c64 assembly language tutorial on Youtube, and supplement that with documentation for ca65 assembler. See, it does clarify things! * ⚓ Wouter Groeneveld ☛ About_a_Broken_ESS_AudioDrive_Card⠀⇛ Apparently, it’s a BTC 1853L with an embedded ESS AudioDrive 1868F chip—something I did not realise when pressing that buy button. OEM cards are not necessarily a bad thing but can require their own set of drivers. Last month, I slotted it into a the PC, downloaded and installed the default ESS drivers, and… nothing. Zip. Nada.

Looking at the algorithm I alluded to in the last article, I think I can see how to do that. Here’s my thinking. To multiple a Matrix M with a Vector f use the top equation. * § Graphics Stack⠀➾ o ⚓ Simon Ser ☛ Simon_Ser:_Status_update,_April_2025⠀⇛ Hi! Last week wlroots_0.19.0-rc1 has been released! It includes the new color management protocol, however it doesn’t include HDR10 support because the renderer and backend bits haven’t yet been merged. Also worth noting is full explicit synchronization support as well as the new screen capture protocols. I plan to release new release candidates weekly until we’re happy with the stability.

After all, what could be better than ditching decades of crusty old code in a language that only your grandparents can remember as being relevant? Surely a clean and fresh rewrite in a modern language like Java, Rust, Python, Zig, or NodeJS will fix all ailments and make future maintenance a snap? * ⚓ [Old] Dylan Beattie ☛ The_Problem_with_“Vibe_Coding”⠀⇛ Probably the single most important lesson I’ve learned in my career, the thing that I would argue is the hallmark of “experience”, is understanding just how much work it takes to turn a working program into a viable product. It’s why developer estimates are so notoriously optimistic - and why experienced developers are so notoriously cynical. Let’s say you crank out a bit of code that’ll take responses from a web form and add them in an Excel spreadsheet. That’s not that hard… yay! we just built a Typeform competitor in one afternoon! Except, no, you didn’t. You made one thing work one time on one computer. You haven’t considered encoding, internationalization, concurrency, authentication, telemetry, billing, branding, mobile devices, deployment. You haven’t hit any of the weird limits yet - ever had a system work brilliantly for the first 65,535 requests and then fall over? You don’t have a product. At best, you have a proof-of-concept of a good idea that, if some very smart people work very hard, might become a viable product. * ⚓ Modus Create LLC ☛ Frontend_live-coding_via_ghci⠀⇛ I was confident this could be done with moderate effort. Almost all the pieces are already in place: the external interpreter logic in GHC is there, and the wasm dynamic linker already works in nodejs. So just make it runnable in browsers as well, add a bit of logic for communicating with GHC and we’re done right? Well, it still took a few months for me to land it…but finally here it is! To keep this post within reasonable length, I will only introduce the user-facing aspects of the wasm ghci browser mode and won’t cover the underlying implementation. The rest of the post is an example ghci session followed by a series of bite sized subsections, each covering one important tip about using this feature. * ⚓ Caleb Hearth ☛ Tally_All_Git_Trailers_in_a_Repository⠀⇛ I’ve been using a lot of Git Trailers in my commit messages recently and as my thinking on which trailer keys to use has evolved, it’s been useful to look back at which ones have been used before. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Critical_Erlang/OTP_SSH_Flaw_Exposes_Many_Devices_to Remote_Hacking⠀⇛ Erlang/OTP is a collection of libraries, middleware and other tools designed for creating scalable soft real-time systems that require high availability, such as e-commerce, banking, and communications applications. A team of researchers from Ruhr University Bochum in Germany discovered that Erlang/OTP’s SSH implementation is affected by a critical vulnerability for which they calculated a CVSS score of 10. * ⚓ Andy Bell ☛ How_to_write_error_messages_that_actually_help_users_rather than_frustrate_them⠀⇛ The first step in planning and creating good error messages is to identify the different types of errors that could occur within our user experience. For example: [...] * ⚓ Julia Programming Language ☛ JuliaHub_Audit_Features_for Pharmacometrics_Software_Records⠀⇛ In the dynamic realm of scientific computing and data analysis, the importance of maintaining the integrity of every artifact and computational process cannot be overstated. Meticulous tracking and documentation of every action on data and code are crucial for valid research and regulatory compliance. JuliaHub provides robust audit trail and traceability features to meet these demands. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ How_to_Convert_Parquet_to_JSON_in_Python_–_Step_by_Step⠀⇛ While working with an extensive set of data (big data), you might have encountered Parquet files—those columnar storage format files that data engineers love. However, there are pretty much chances you need to share that data with applications or systems that prefer JSON format. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ Own HowTo ☛ Make_a_file_executable_via_a_bash_script⠀⇛ In this tutorial, you will learn how to write a simple bash script that can help you to make files executable automatically without having to enter the chmod command manually.

We first publicly previewed this technology in a presentation at FOSDEM_2024. We will provide a quick overview of it in this article. For a deeper dive, please refer to the FOSDEM slides and recording. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_short-lived_credentials_in_Quay_improve_security⠀⇛ The use of long-lived credentials, such as access keys, is a common method for accessing protected resources. However, they represent potential security concerns, especially once a compromise occurs. Assets that have become compromised can continue to be accessed indefinitely, and in many cases, without the owner's knowledge. As a result, many systems and frameworks now support the use of short-lived, or just-in-time (JIT), methods for accessing sensitive resources. * ⚓ Fedora Project ☛ Fedora_Community_Blog:_Fedora_Ops_Architect_Report⠀⇛ Hello friends, I hope you are enjoying the latest release of Fedora GNU/Linux – 42, the answer to life, the universe and everything!

On Tuesday, Big Blue shared new rules on where it expects its US sales staff to work: At least three days a week at a client, a flagship office, or a sales hub. And the mainframe giant last week told all US Cloud employees, sales or otherwise, to return to the office at least three days per week at designated "strategic" locations. Several current and former IBM employees who have spoken to The Register about IBM's work directives argue that these policies represent stealth layoffs because older (and presumably more highly compensated) employees tend to be less willing to uproot their lives, and families where applicable, than the "early professional hires" IBM has been courting at some legal risk. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1799 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/18/Security_Leftovers.1.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/04/18/Security_Leftovers.1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 18, 2025 * ⚓ Ubuntu News ☛ Extended_Security_Maintenance_for_Ubuntu_20.04_(Focal Fossa)_begins_May_29,_2025⠀⇛ Ubuntu released its 20.04 (Focal Fossa) release 5 years ago, on March 23, 2020.

howtos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 18, 2025 * ⚓ Medium ☛ How_do_I_prompt_for_Yes/No/Cancel_input_in_a_Linux_shell script?⠀⇛ In a Linux shell script, you can prompt for Yes/No/Cancel input using read and a case statement. Here’s a clean and reusable example. * ⚓ Jeff Geerling ☛ The_(almost)_perfect_mini_NAS_for_my_mini_rack⠀⇛ I wanted to see if this could replace my full-size 100 TB hard drive NAS. Since I moved my YouTube operation to a separate studio, I no longer need tens of TB of local storage. I just have a 3 TB media library with movies and TV shows for the family, and 1 TB of backups for the household computers. So four 2 TB NVMe SSDs would do the trick, in a RAIDZ array (2 TB used for redundancy, so 6 TB of usable space). * ⚓ The New Stack ☛ How_To_Read_a_Traceroute_for_Network_Troubleshooting⠀⇛ The traceroute tool is one of the most valuable yet straightforward diagnostic utilities available for network troubleshooting. Built into virtually every operating system, traceroute runs a connection test from one computer to another device, showing each “hop” the data takes between network devices. This comprehensive guide will help you understand how traceroute works, interpret its results and recognize common network problems it can reveal. * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Looking_at_what_NFSv4_clients_have_locked_on_a Linux_NVS(v4)_server⠀⇛ A while ago I wrote an entry about (not) finding which NFSv4 client owns a lock on a Linux NFS(v4) server, where the best I could do was pick awkwardly through the raw NFS v4 client information in /proc/fs/nfsd/clients. Recently I discovered an alternative to doing this by hand, which is the nfsdclnts program, and as a result of digging into it and what I was seeing when I tried it out, I now believe I have a better understanding of the entire situation (which was previously somewhat confusing). * ⚓ Dan Langille ☛ Using_~/.ssh/authorized_keys_to_decide_what_the_incoming connection_can_do⠀⇛ Here’s the problem. Both lines can’t run. Only one will run. The incoming ssh key will match, and that command will be run. Instead. I added a second ssh key: [...] * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_CUPS_Print_Server_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS⠀⇛ The Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) stands as the standard printing solution for Unix-like operating systems, including Ubuntu. As a robust print server, CUPS enables efficient printer sharing, sophisticated print job management, and seamless network printing capabilities. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Python_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Python has become an essential programming language for developers, data scientists, system administrators, and enthusiasts alike. Its versatility and extensive library ecosystem make it invaluable for everything from web development to automation. Fedora 42, as a cutting-edge GNU/Linux distribution, provides several ways to install and manage Python installations. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_ClamAV_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ In today’s digital landscape, security remains a paramount concern for all computer users, including those running GNU/Linux distributions like Fedora. While GNU/ Linux systems are generally less targeted by malware compared to Windows, they aren’t immune to security threats. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Portainer_on_CentOS_Stream_10⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Portainer on CentOS Stream 10. Portainer has emerged as one of the most popular Docker management tools available today, offering a sleek and intuitive web interface that simplifies container management tasks. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_EPEL_Repository_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Fedora 42 brings cutting-edge features and improved performance to GNU/Linux enthusiasts worldwide. As users explore this latest release, many wonder about expanding their software options through additional repositories. The Extra Packages for Enterprise GNU/Linux (EPEL) repository is often mentioned in GNU/Linux forums and guides, leaving Fedora users questioning its relevance to their system. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Disable_SELinux_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Security-Enhanced GNU/Linux (SELinux) is a powerful security feature integrated into Fedora 42 that provides an additional layer of system protection through mandatory access control. Developed by the National Security Agency (NSA), SELinux enforces strict security policies that go beyond traditional GNU/Linux permissions. o ⚓ ID Root ☛ Fedora_42_Network_Configuration_Guide⠀⇛ In the ever-evolving world of GNU/Linux distributions, Fedora continues to be at the forefront of innovation and stability. With the release of Fedora 42, users can expect significant improvements in network management capabilities, offering more flexibility and robust features than previous versions. * ⚓ Neowin ☛ How_to_upgrade_to_Fedora_Silverblue_42_and_roll_back_if needed⠀⇛ Fedora 42 was released a few days ago, including Fedora Silverblue 42, a unique atomic operating system that's more resistant to errors. * ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ How_to_Upgrade_to_Ubuntu_25.04_‘Plucky_Puffin’⠀⇛ Do you currently run Ubuntu 24.10 on your computer but want to upgrade to the new Ubuntu 25.04 release to benefit from its (many) changes? As long as you’re full up-to-date and have a working internet connection, you can upgrade to Ubuntu 25.04 directly – no need to do download an ISO, flash it to a USB stick and do a clean install.

Stick it in the affected service. Then configure a regex because I like problems. I don’t care if you scrape my README 700 times, that’s what it’s for, but leave the other junk alone. Also, I’d rather not bother humans, even a little bit, until they start clicking around deeper. * ⚓ JetGirlArt ☛ Bring_Back_RSS_Feeds_to_Browsers⠀⇛ I miss when the feeds were available natively on browsers, setup similarly to bookmarks. You could click the RSS logo on a website and it would add the feed to your list. They showed up in a little folder all categorized and everything.

Google [Ed: Mozilla comments on its sugar daddy while pretending to be a rival]⠀⇛ The CEO of Mozilla, Laura Chambers, provided insights about the U.S. v. Surveillance Giant Google LLC case on search competition ahead of the trial slated to begin April 21, 2025. “As the CEO of Mozilla, I often have conversations about the future of this company. Most times these conversations are tied to how we build a better Internet that is accessible to everyone. It’s never about maximizing profits because we aren’t owned by billionaires and our lone shareholder is a non-profit whose mission is to build an open and secure internet ecosystem that places privacy, security and the rights of individuals over the bottom line. At this moment our mission is particularly top of mind. The Court presiding over the Department of Justice’s search monopolization case against Surveillance Giant Google will soon convene a long-awaited remedies hearing that has the potential to significantly alter the industry and the open web.  Some of the remedies proposed in the case risk the future of our Firefox browser and Gecko browser engine—the last remaining non-Big Tech browser engine. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 2804 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 27 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
