Static site generators (SSGs) are a lot easier to work with
TWO years ago, in late summer of 2022, Tux Machines moved to adopt its own SSG,
which had been developed for a number of weeks and went "live" with further
improvements added "on the go". It would take Techrights over a year to adopt
the same SSG, which matured over time (bugs removed along the way and new
functionality added). Last night Tux Machines added the_29,000th_page, which
means that some time next month it'll reach 30,000 (not counting about 170,000
pages in the "old" site).
This means that we now have about 200,000 nodes in total. It took 20.5 years. █

⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ A Brief History of FAI, Which Began 25
Years Ago⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧
posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Dec 24, 2024
Quoting: Happy Birthday FAI! —
Some months before, the computer science department of the University
of Cologne bought a small HPC cluster with 16 nodes (each with dual
CPU Pentium II 400Mhz, 256 MB RAM) and I was too lazy to install
those nodes manually. That's why I started the FAI project. With FAI
you can install computers in a few minutes from scratch to a machine
with a custom configuration that is ready to go for their users.
At that time Debian 2.1 aka slink was using kernel 2.0.36 and it was
the first release using apt. Many things have happened since then.
In the beginning we wrote the first technical report about FAI and a
lot of documentation were added afterwards. I gave more than 45 talks
about FAI all over the world. Over the past 25 years, there has been
an average of more than one commit per day to the FAI software
repository.
Several top500.org HPC clusters were built using FAI and many
companies are using FAI for their IT infrastructure or deploying
Linux on their products using FAI. An overview of users can be found
here.
Some major milestones of FAI are listed in the blog post of the 20th
anniversary.

Quoting: A warm December embrace for you - EndeavourOS —
It’s no big secret that I’m a sucker for this time of year. Walking
through the streets with the warm glow of the fairy lights outside
and the houses you pass, welcoming you like a warm hug despite the
rain and cold on your face. Of course, that’s my experience of living
in the northern hemisphere, but you get the idea. There is something
about that strong and exciting sense of closure and new beginnings
that hangs in the air.
It is the sense of closure that gives us the urge to be with loved
ones, but it is the latter that causes problems for many people.
Especially as media and social expectations reinforce the feeling.

Quoting: Debian Mirrors Hierarchy —
After finding AlmaLinux sync capacity is around 140Gbps at Tier 0 (or
Tier 1, however you look at it), I wanted to find source and
hierarchy in Debian mirroring systems.
There are two main types of mirrors in Debian - Debian package
mirrors (for package installs and updates) and Debian CD mirrors (for
ISO and others medias). Let’s talk about package mirrors (and it’s
hierarchy) first.

o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Whatever_Happened_to_Unix_Workstations?⠀⇛
In the '80s and early '90s, powerful Unix workstations
dominated technical tasks like science and 3D animation.
Let's find out where they went and where you can still
find them today.
o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ 2024_Was_Raspberry_Pi's_Biggest_Year_to_Date⠀⇛
Raspberry Pi is about to wrap up its biggest, busiest
year to date. The company launched a ton of new products,
overhauled the Pi OS operating system, and went public on
the London Stock Exchange. It's an exciting time to be a
Pi fan.

In January 2006, the first Intel Macs were announced.
We’ll deal more with that anniversary in a year, but for
now, it’s worth walking through the final full year of
PowerPC Macs.
Transitions happen for a reason, and exploring those
reasons can tell us a lot about the priorities of the
parties involved.
o ⚓ Dan Langille ☛ Dell_R730_–_moving_disks_from_front_drive_bay_to
PCI_slots_in_r730-03⠀⇛
I’ve been seeing these types of errors for about 4 weeks
now. I ordered a replacement drive. When it arrived, I
realized I had no free drive bays. When a drive is still
functional, I prefer to leave it in the host to retain
zpool integrity. Instead, I will add the new drive in,
run the zpool replace command, and when completed, remove
the faulty drive.
I decided to order more Icy Dock PCIe drive bays (link at
bottom of page). I have used them in the past and it
helps to free up drive bays for 3.5″ devices and move the
2.5″ devices to the rear of the chassis.
o ⚓ Fastmail ☛ Dec_22:_Why_we_use_our_own_hardware_at_Fastmail_|
Fastmail⠀⇛
There has recently been talk of cloud repatriation where
companies are moving from the cloud to on premises, with
some particularly noisy examples.
Fastmail has a long history of using our own hardware. We
have over two decades of experience running and
optimising our systems to use our own bare metal servers
efficiently.
We get way better cost optimisation compared to moving

o ⚓ Ivan Kuleshov ☛ Compute_Blade_PCIe_3.0⠀⇛
With the release of CM5, it is now possible to double the
speed of the PCIe bus on the Compute Blade when working
with the Compute Module from Raspberry Pi. It’s quite
easy to do, and so far all the tests I’ve done show high
stability of the solution.
o ⚓ Arduino ☛ This_autonomous_go-kart_only_needs_a_camera_to_navigate

The machine learning model runs on a laptop, but Blake
needed a way for it to control the kart’s steering and
throttle. He used three Arduino Nano boards to pull that
off. The first just listens to the machine learning
model’s serial output for a PWM signal representing the
steering angle. It then sends that to the second, which
uses that information and the real-time steering angle to
control a Cytron motor driver for the steering. The third
controls the throttle using an RC car-style circuit.
o ⚓ Arduino ☛ See_how_this_homemade_spectrometer_analyzes_substances

His project uses the AS7431 10-channel spectrometer
sensor breakout board from Adafruit due to its adequate
accuracy and compact footprint. Once it was attached to
the clear sample chamber and wired to a connector, Marb
got to work on the electromechanical portion of the
system. Here, a stepper motor rotates a ring of six LEDs
that are driven by a series of N-channel MOSFETs and a
decade counter. Each component was then wired into a
custom-designed control board, which acts as a shield
when attached to the Arduino Mega 2560 below.

Ah, 2024. You were a year, that's for certain. You had 365 days, each
a slat on the roller coaster rails that moved us forward while also
taking us to higher highs and lower lows.
One thing is for certain: 2024 saw a lot of incredible Linux
distributions released. There was a new Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux Mint,
Rhino Linux, EndeavorOS, Manjaro, Zorin OS, openSUSE, Nobara, Garuda,
and many more, all of which shined in one way or another.

Quoting: The Linux log files you should know and how to use them | ZDNET —
Log files. They're there for a reason -- to keep track of what goes
on behind the velvet curtain of your operating system. When things go
wrong, entries are added to those log files, so you can view them and
troubleshoot what's happening. Even when something goes right,
valuable information might be tacked onto the end of that log file,
which can also be useful.
The thing is, Linux keeps a lot of log files. Some are useful to
users, while others might not be so helpful. Many apps also install
their own log files, so you can troubleshoot a single app.
But which log files should you pay attention to, and what are they
for? Let's dive in and unpack this.

Quoting: postmarketOS // v24.12: The One With Androids & Cameras, But It's
Mainline Linux —
One thing that people have been asking us over and over is, will it
be possible to use cameras with postmarketOS on Androids? While of
course we all would like to see that, this is a significant challenge
for postmarketOS and other Linux Mobile projects that prefer using
the mainline Linux kernel and don't use the proprietary Android
userspace blobs for interacting with cameras. But as you can guess
from the headline, there has been a significant breakthrough: the
Pixel 3A and Fairphone 5 both have front and a rear camera working
now, and somebody even reported being able to record video on the
FP5. One of the two rear cameras of the Pocophone F1 also works now.
As you would expect, this is not on-par with Android's implementation
yet and some of the media has a bit of a retro appeal at the moment.
Nevertheless, this is a major achievement! Thanks to Robert, Richard,
Luca, Joel, Alistair as well as the libcamera and Megapixels folks!

Quoting: the twenty-fifth year of my free software career —
I've been lucky to be able to spend twenty! five! years! developing
free software and making a living on it, and this was a banner year
for that career.
To start with, there was the Distribits conference. There's a big
ecosystem of tools and projects that are based on git-annex,
especially in scientific data management, and this was the first
conference focused on that. Basically every talk involved git-annex
in some way. It's been a while since I was at a conference where my
software was in the center like that -- reminded me of Debconf days.
I gave a talk on how git-annex was probably basically feature
complete. I have been very busy ever since adding new features to it,
because in mapping out git-annex's feature set, I discovered new
possibilities.
Meeting people and getting a better feel for the shape of that
ecosytem, both technically and funding wise, led to several big
developments in funding later in the year. Going into the year, I had
an ongoing source of funding from several projects at Dartmouth that
use git-annex, but after 10 years, some of that was winding up.
That all came together in my essentially writing a grant proposal to
the OpenNeuro project at Stanford, to spend 6 months building out a
whole constellation of features. The summer became a sprint to get it
all done. Signficant amounts of very productive design work were done
while swimming in the river. That was great.

Quoting: This Linux distro I recommend to power users takes a unique approach
to OS design | ZDNET —
Before we get into this review, I want to offer some information for
new Linux users. If you're uncomfortable using the command line or
diving down rabbit holes to figure out how to do something that
should "just work out of the box," then NixOS is probably not for
you.
However, that's not to say someone with minimal familiarity with the
command line would fail with this distribution. For example, if you
only need open-source software, NixOS could be a viable option. If,
however, you need apps like Chrome, Slack, and Spotify, you might run
into some frustration that will send you packing back to Ubuntu,
Linux Mint, or Windows.

As my FOSDEM 2025 talk ("Bringing terminal aesthetics to the

a step back and think about minimal web design. And I believe
my blog is a good example for taking apart to the pieces and
understand what makes a minimal website minimal.
Also, some people requested me to share which tool/language/kit

So, ladies and gentlemen, here it is.

Over the past year some of us have also been working in the
server-to-server space with an idea that may wind up replacing
or enhancing DKIM.
And finally, next year we will be investing a lot more effort
into making the Cyrus IMAP server not just a reference
implementation for JMAP, but much easier to both develop and
run.
In 10 years time, I hope to post about how Cyrus and JMAP have
taken over the world, but I’ll also happily settle for them
having both improved Fastmail’s product immeasurably, having
plenty of happy customers, and continuing to help make email
better for everybody through our work.

⚓ A_Software_Carol⠀⇛
The clock ticked past 7:15 PM, its luminescent hands glowing faintly
in the deepening twilight. Victor Grimwald, his shoulders hunched
like a bird of prey, stared out the expansive window of his corner
office. Below, the city lights flickered to life, a shimmering
expanse of indifferent stars. It had been seven years since this
monotonous grayscale had replaced the vibrant hues of life.
He swiveled his chair, groaning softly beneath him, and reached for
the heavy crystal decanter on his desk. Two glasses flanked it, one
perpetually unused, gathering dust like a forgotten tombstone. He
poured a generous measure of amber liquid into the other, the ice
clinking mournfully against the glass.
The scotch burned a familiar path down his throat, a momentary
distraction from the gnawing emptiness. He closed his eyes, the image
of Marcus Greaves, his long-dead partner, flashing vividly behind his
eyelids. Marcus, with his unruly mop of brown hair and that
infectious laugh that could fill a room. Marcus, who could turn lines
of code into poetry and find joy in the most mundane of tasks.

o ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Blocked_when_using_a_VPN⠀⇛
This is unfortunately all too common. The number of
CAPTCHAs I have to fill out absolutely skyrockets when
using my entirely pedestrian WireGuard or OpenVPN
connections, across all manner of providers and IP
ranges. Despite what those VPN advertisers may suggest,
your use of a VPNs is trivial for web server software to
detect.
This also leads me to suspect that these network security
vendors must maintain lists of ranges in use by large VPN
providers. I know people who use these services who don’t
encounter these problems. It’s… interesting to think
about the implications, especially if one is using a
commercial VPN provider under the illusion that it offers
total privacy. You may be more identifiable than you
think.
o ⚓ Simon Josefsson ☛ Simon_Josefsson:_OpenSSH_and_Git_on_a_Post-

Are you aware that Git_commits_and_tags may be signed
using OpenSSH? Git signatures may be used to improve
integrity and authentication of our software supply-
chain. Popular signature algorithms include Ed25519,
ECDSA and RSA. Did you consider that these algorithms may
not be safe if someone builds a post-quantum computer?
As you may recall, I have earlier blogged_about_the
efficient_post-quantum_key_agreement_mechanism_called
Streamlined_NTRU_Prime_and_its_use_in_SSH and I have
attempted to promote the conservatively_designed_Classic
McEliece_in_a_similar_way, although it remains to be
adopted.
What post-quantum signature algorithms are available?
There is an effort by NIST to standardize post-quantum
algorithms, and they have a category for signature
algorithms. According to wikipedia,_after_round_three_the
selected_algorithms are CRYSTALS-Dilithium, FALCON and
SPHINCS+. Of these, SPHINCS+ appears to be a conservative
choice suitable for long-term digital signatures. Can we
get this to work?
Recall that Git uses the ssh-keygen tool from OpenSSH to
perform signing and verification.

A while ago, I had the need to synchronize certificates
across machines. I was able to answer it using a perhaps
uncommon trick which I thought might be worth sharing.
Let's say you have one domain for which you want multiple
machines answering requests. Of course, you choose to
provide that service over TLS (doesn't matter whether
it's http or another layer 7 protocol).

In this time of ultimate shareability and
interconnectedness, threats can come from any
angle—including inside your network. Enter the Zero Trust
security framework. By trusting none and verifying all,
Zero Trust can make any network, home of business, become
Fort Knox.
With the old “castle and moat” style of protecting
networks going by the wayside, many speculate that VPNs
will follow suit. So what does this all mean for the
security of your data and will you still be using a VPN
in a few years time? Let’s dig in to find out more and
see what the future holds for your network security.

Ubuntu and most other Linux distributions now use the

We configured GRUB2 on Ubuntu 24.04.1 here, but the
process should be similar for other Linux distributions.
You may have customized the original GRUB's settings by
editing its menu.lst file in the past, but the process is
now different.

Quoting: Ultramarine Linux 40 continues to be one fine unofficial Fedora Spin |
ZDNET —
In 2023, I reviewed Ultramarine Linux, which was based on Fedora 39,
calling it the "desktop of the year." Since then, the developers have
released a new version based on Fedora 40 (which is one release
behind the official Fedora distribution). This new release vastly
improves the documentation experience, fixes numerous bugs, and
polishes the distribution to a gleaming, sparkling shine.
As with my original review, I opted for the Flagship version, which
uses the Budgie desktop. Out of the box, the layout looks and feels
instantly familiar and defaults to a dark theme (a practice that has
become quite common with many Linux distributions).
When I review a Linux distribution (or even an app) that defaults to
a dark theme, the first thing I do is configure it for the lighter
side of things -- because dark themes and my eyes do not get along
well.

While I have covered some defining moments in the Linux and open

Quoting: What Is Linux Mint, and Why Would You Use It? —
Linux Mint is an operating system (OS) that you can use to replace
Windows on your machine, though you could also use it alongside it.
It has much the same “feel” as Windows, though it’s a lot more
intuitive and also allows you to tweak many more settings to your
taste.
Within the wild abundance of Linux distros—think of them as flavors
of the open-source OS—Linux Mint is based on the same architecture as
the much more well-known Ubuntu. It's maintained by a team of
volunteers, headed by French computer scientist Clement Lefebvre.
The focus of the Linux Mint team is very much on usability. Unlike
other Linux distros that leave you to figure out how to use them,
Mint offers a lot more handholds. This doesn’t mean you’re restricted
like with Windows or, worse yet, macOS, just that there are some
guardrails that let you get acquainted with your new OS.

Quoting: Why I no longer recommend this Windows-like Linux distro | ZDNET —
Update: We've pulled the original content, which recommended Wubuntu,
from this article. Your trust in ZDNET's recommendations is very
important to us, and part of protecting that trust is letting you
know when we've gotten something wrong and making it right.
During my test period of the Windows-like Wubuntu distribution (which
was roughly a week), I had no problems with it. However, after that
week passed, something strange happened in the form of a persistent
pop-up asking me to enter a product key for PowerTools. Unless I had
a key, I could no longer use the Wubuntu desktop. The only way to get
a key is to purchase one.
