diceware is a passphrase generator - LinuxLinks
The passphrase contains by default six words (with first char capitalized) without any separator chars. Optionally you can let diceware insert special chars into the passphrase.
diceware supports several sources of randomness (including real life dice) and different wordlists (including cryptographically signed ones).
The security level provided by Diceware depends heavily on your source of random. If the delivered randomness is good, then your passphrases will be very strong. If instead someone can foresee the numbers generated by a random number generator, your passphrases will be surprisingly weak.
This is free and open source software.
FSP Client - FTP-like interface for File Service Protocol - LinuxLinks
File Service Protocol is a very lightweight UDP based protocol for transferring files. FSP has many benefits over FTP, mainly for running anonymous archives. FSP protocol is valuable in all kinds of environments because it is one of the only TCP/IP protocols that is not aggressive about bandwidth, while still being highly fault tolerant.
If you are at least somewhat familiar with command line FTP and want to try FSP, this program is right for you.

Banana Pi BPI-F3 Single Board Computer Running Linux: Introduction - LinuxLinks
This is a new series of articles focusing on RISC-V single board computers running Linux. One set of articles will focus on the Banana Pi BPI-F3, an industrial-grade RISC-V development board with SpacemiT K1 8-core RISC-V AI CPU, providing 2TOPs CPU fusion of general-purpose computing power to support rapid deployment of AI model algorithms.
Before I focus on the Banana Pi BPI-F3, let’s provide some background about RISC-V and why it’s piqued my interest in single board computers.
RISC-V is an acronym for Reduced Instruction Set Computer, with V indicating the fifth release. The project began at the University of California, Berkeley and was transferred to the RISC-V Foundation in 2015. RISC-V is the hot processor architecture. Other popular architecture types are Arm and x86.
