YOU ARE HERE ☞ 20 Days Later, UK ‘Action Fraud’ Shows No Signs of Action 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇They_did_what?_It_took_pension_firms_months_to_confirm this?⦈_ Summary: As we’ve expected right from the start, reporting crime (pension fraud) to Action Fraud (UK police) results in little action, no action, or very slow action (they say they aim to respond within 28 days); today we revisit the situation ABOUT three weeks ago we formalised complaints to Action Fraud, which is like a division of British Police. The pension_crime (embezzlement) of Sirius_‘Open Source’ was reported. The evidence was very clear. There are many victims and there are several more fallbacks here, in case the police drags its heels. We’ll spare details about those fallbacks, for strategic reasons. Either way, it is important to show how police in the land of famous monarchs actually deals with white-collar crimes that has many victims. “This is a matter for British authorities, including British police, to investigate.”When you say something is illegal but fail to actually uphold and enforce the law, then it’s just a token or a “formality” (as this_new_article serves_to_illustrate). It’s a carte blanche to commit that crime and it rewards those who commit serious crimes against other people, objectively speaking. Sirius has been trying to pretend to be a US company in recent years, likely for legal reasons (including the “Limited” in the UK). But no matter if it dubs itself SiriUS, SiriHK, SiriA or whatever… the chief is British, the loans are British, and almost all the staff is British. All those involved in the pension fraud — without exception — are British. This is a matter for British authorities, including British police, to investigate. “In the next few parts we shall shed light on what various involved/impacted parties have to say about this, including legal facets of this conundrum. This is likely to carry on for several months more and perhaps even years if the Ombudsman gets involved.”Remember that we as British taxpayers are entitled to get a good service from British cops as we pay their salaries, they basically work “for us” (or at least they’re supposed to, they’re expected to “serve and protect” the taxpayers). We are still waiting for as little as an E-mail from British police, but so far not even a call or a letter acknowledging they’re on the case or have made some progress. The sad thing is that we’re so cynical that this is what we expected and even_told_them. In the next few parts we shall shed light on what various involved/impacted parties have to say about this, including legal facets of this conundrum. This is likely to carry on for several months more and perhaps even years if the Ombudsman gets involved. Inaction from cops and HMRC is a stain on the system as it emboldens the perception that those in power (like ‘Prince’ Andrew) are above the law and the rest of us are defenceless, rendered vulnerable for exploitation.

Kubernetes pods with CPU and/ or memory resources specified, you may have noticed that changing the resource values involves restarting the pod. This has been a disruptive operation for running workloads… until now. In Kubernetes v1.27, we have added a new alpha feature that allows users to resize CPU/memory resources allocated to pods without restarting the containers. To facilitate this, the resources field in a pod’s containers now allow mutation for cpu and memory resources. They can be changed simply by patching the running pod spec. This also means that resources field in the pod spec can no longer be relied upon as an indicator of the pod’s actual resources. Monitoring tools and other such applications must now look at new fields in the pod’s status. Kubernetes queries the actual CPU and memory requests and limits enforced on the running containers via a CRI (Container Runtime Interface) API call to the runtime, such as containerd, which is responsible for running the containers. The response from container runtime is reflected in the pod’s status. In addition, a new restartPolicy for resize has been added. It gives users control over how their containers are handled when resources are resized. § What’s new in v1.27? Besides the addition of resize policy in the pod’s spec, a new field named allocatedResources has been added to containerStatuses in the pod’s status. This field reflects the node resources allocated to the pod’s containers. In addition, a new field called resources has been added to the container’s status. This field reflects the actual resource requests and limits configured on the running containers as reported by the container runtime. # ⚓ Peter_Czanik:_The_syslog-ng_insider_2023-05:_learning;_UDP; upgrading;⠀⇛ Dear syslog-ng users… # ⚓ Peter ‘CzP’ Czanik ☛ The_syslog-ng_insider_2023-05: learning;_UDP;_upgrading;⠀⇛ The May syslog-ng newsletter is now on-line [...] . # ⚓ SUSE’s Corporate Blog ☛ SUSE_Awarded_16_Badges_in_G2_Spring 2023_Report⠀⇛ Spring is here and so are the latest G2 Badges!

Maybe it’s the perfect time to move away from the proprietary world of Apple, and embrace the open source Linux scene. Font Book is propriety software and not available for Linux. We recommend the best free and open source alternatives. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Beyond_Clusters:_Mastering_the_Art_of_Blending_Components in_Kubernetes⠀⇛ The Importance of Kubernetes in Modern Software Development Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration tool originally developed by Google. It has quickly become the industry standard for managing and deploying containerized applications at scale. # ⚓ Dividing_and_Conquering:_Separating_Internal_and_External Services_in_Kubernetes⠀⇛ Introduction Kubernetes has become the standard for container orchestration in modern software development. It provides an efficient way to manage and deploy applications at scale, while also allowing developers to focus on writing code instead of worrying about infrastructure. # ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Show_in_folder_fix_for_Chromium⠀⇛ When Thanos reported this, I assumed that it was a bug in Chromium: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=8645 However, Caramel found that the problem was in / usr/local/bin/xdg-open (see reply in above link). # ⚓ Linux Links ☛ Alternatives_to_popular_CLI_tools:_cut⠀⇛ This article spotlights alternative tools to cut. # ⚓ UNIX Cop ☛ How_to_install_LaTeX_on_Ubuntu_22.04⠀⇛ In this post, you will learn how to install Latex on Ubuntu 22.04.

L o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ System76’s_COSMIC_Desktop_Environment_Makes Progress⠀⇛ System76, a computer manufacturer specializing in the sale of notebooks, desktops, and servers, is a strongly Linux-faced company utilizing free and open-source software and offering its own Ubuntu- based Linux distribution, Pop!_OS. About a year and a half ago, due to a heated discussion between the developers of Pop!_OS and GNOME, System76 decided to go its way and develop a desktop environment from scratch, COSMIC, which to better suits its vision and understanding of functionality. Recent desktop environment updates have been exciting as more and more COSMIC is beginning to take shape. # § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ Caolán_McNamara:_GNOME_Logout_Inhbit⠀⇛ Recently added support in LibreOffice towards 7.6 for GNOME logout inhibit if LibreOffice has open documents with unsaved changes. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ The_9_Best_Live_USB_Linux_Distros_You_Can_Use_on the_Go⠀⇛ Linux on a USB stick can run fine if you pick the right distribution. This list includes distributions that have been historically successful in meeting the needs for live booting. Although live booting is fine for temporary or task- specific usage, if you want to experience and explore the true potential of Linux, it’s better to install it bare- metal on your machine, either standalone or dual-boot. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ ZDNet ☛ Red_Hat_advances_with_new_Enterprise_Linux releases⠀⇛ Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2 is out, and RHEL 8.8 will follow shortly. # ⚓ Fedora Project ☛ Fedora_Community_Blog:_Wrapping_up_the Fedora_Websites_and_Apps_Community_Initiative:_Part_II⠀⇛ This is the second post in a series covering details about the journey of the Fedora Websites and Apps community Initiative, those who were involved in making it a grand success, and what lies ahead down the road for the team. If you have not already,read the previous_post before delving into this one. § Off track and back on again We started off with having recorded meetings on video_conferencing_platforms like Jitsi Meet. Around August 2021 we decided against to accommodate more fruitful and open discussions. Eventually, we developed rules and regulations for in-call discipline to ensure that everyone in the meeting got equal_representation. # ⚓ Enterprisers Project ☛ Automation:_3_ways_it_boosts productivity_and_reduces_burnout⠀⇛ Reports of mass layoffs are all over the headlines these days. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Liliputing ☛ Lilbits:_Ubuntu_on_the_VisionFive_2_RISC- V_single-board_PC,_mini_PCs_with_Ryzen_7040HS,_and_Google’s new_Find_My_Network⠀⇛ Canonical brings support for Ubuntu 23.04 to the StarFive VisionFive 2, a single-board PC with a 1.5 GHz quad-core JH7110 RISC-V processor with SiFive U74 CPU cores and Imagination BXE-4-32 MC1 graphics. # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Banana_Pi_BPI-Centi-S3_–_An_ESP32-S3_board with_an_1.9-inch_TFT_display_and_a_rotary_encoder⠀⇛ Banana Pi BPI-Centi-S3 is an ESP32-S3 WiFi & BLE IoT board with a 1.9-inch color TFT display, a rotary encoder, and a few I/Os, which offers an alternative to the T-Track ESP32-S3 board with AMOLED and trackball we covered a few days ago.

Learn about it in this edition of FOSS Weekly newsletter. o ⚓ OSI Blog ☛ The_Cyber_Resilience_Act_introduces_uncertainty_and risk_leaving_Open_Source_projects_confused⠀⇛ What might happen if the uncertainty persists around who is held responsible under the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)? The global Open Source community is averse to legal risks and generally lacks access to counsel, so it’s very possible offers of source code will simply be withdrawn rather than seeking to resolve the uncertainty. o § Events⠀➾ # ⚓ David Revoy ☛ La_Réunion_des_Communs_2023⠀⇛ Hey, I’m back home after 10 days at the Réunion des Communs, an event hosted at the library of Saint- Joseph on the Réunion island. The Réunion island is a French island, located in the Indian Ocean, approximately 600km/400mi east of the island of Madagascar. The event was about all the commons and a big part was about Free/Libre and Open-Source software and Free/Libre culture. Here is a quick report of what I did during the event. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ 30,000_GitHub_stars [Ed: What are you bragging about, Daniel? Being Microsoft's slave? This is proprietary software, a GPL violation machine, and worse. Also, GitHub had two rounds of layoffs this year. It might be offline in a few years. There's no business model.]⠀⇛ Keeping up with the tradition. A little over two years since the curl reaching 20,000 GitHub stars celebrations I am here to post a new photo as we just surpassed 30,000 stars on curl/curl. # ⚓ Dave_Patrick_Caberto:_GSoC_2023:_Introduction⠀⇛ I am Dave Patrick Caberto, a first-year Electronics Engineering student from Bataan Peninsula State University, Philippines. This summer, I will be working on the Rust and GTK 4 rewrite of Bustle, a D-Bus activity visualizer, with the guidance of my mentors, Bilal Elmoussaoui and Maximiliano Sandoval. § Me and my bizarre open-source journey Weirdly enough, I first discovered Linux five years ago on a failed attempt to do Hackintosh. I got bored with Windows that I decided to try something new and different, and that’s when I eventually stumbled upon Linux, specifically Elementary OS. It did not last for me since I still depend a lot on applications that are only available with Windows. Fast-forward two years later, I decided to give Linux another try with KDE Neon and migrate my workflows to open-source applications such as LibreOffice, Inkscape, and Kdenlive. I remember feeling adventurous and breaking my system numerous times, though I considered it as part of the learning process. I was intrigued by the idea of being a part of a community of passionate developers and enthusiastic users. I also liked the customization it had. However, as I grew with it, I started to realize that I had spent way too much time configuring things and forgetting to focus on what was really important, and that is when I discovered GNOME. # § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ Nikhil Marathe ☛ Python_Gotcha:_Idiomatic_file iteration_has_bad_performance⠀⇛ Here is a performance footgun I encountered at work in a more complicated form. Python allows iterating over a file object. However, this iteration is defined as yielding lines, regardless of if the file is a text or binary file. In fact IOBase specifically says: IOBase (and its subclasses) supports the iterator protocol, meaning that an IOBase object can be iterated over yielding the lines in a stream. Lines are defined slightly differently depending on whether the stream is a binary stream (yielding bytes), or a text stream (yielding character strings). # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Seaborn_Cluster_Map⠀⇛ The “sb.clustermap()” function is used for plotting statistical visuals based on the matplotlib software that is connected with “pandas” data structures. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Seaborn_Rotate_Axis_Labels⠀⇛ The “ticklabels()” method can be used in Python to rotate the seaborn plot axis labels position. The seaborn provides a lot of figure customization. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Python_Requests_Delete_Method⠀⇛ The “request.delete()” method is used to delete records or resource files that take some arguments and values that are used to communicate with the server. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ SciPy_Optimize_Curve_fit⠀⇛ To obtain the optimized parameter for a provided function that fits the specified dataset, the “curve_fit()” function can be used. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Cumulative_Product_Pandas⠀⇛ In Python, the “cumprod()” method is used to calculate the cumulative product that contains current values and all the previous values in the form of an array. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Matplotlib_Log_Scale⠀⇛ Matplotlib supports logarithmic scaling on both the x-axis and y-axis, making it easy to visualize large and small data values. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Matplotlib_Grid⠀⇛ To create and customize grid lines, the “plt.grid()” function of the “Matplotlib” library is used along with various attributes in Python. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ List_Index_Out_of_the_Range_Python⠀⇛ The “list index out of range” is a common error in Python that occurs when trying to access an index that is outside the range of a list. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Isupper()_Method_in_Python⠀⇛ The built-in method “isupper()” can be used to check if all the characters in a string are in uppercase or lowercase or others. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ How_to_Use_Matplotlib_Trend_Line⠀⇛ In Python, the “Matplotlib” library functions like “plt.polyfit()”, “poly1d()” and “plt.plot()” etc. are used together to add a “Trend Line” to a graph. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Geometric_Mean_Pandas⠀⇛ To calculate the “geometric mean” in Python, use the combined “pow()” and “len()” functions, the “gmean()” function, or the “statistics” module. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Calculation_of_Hamming_Distance_in Python⠀⇛ To calculate the “hamming distance” in Python, apply the “built-in function hamming (), use loops”, or utilize “List Comprehension” approach. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Typeerror:_‘list’_Object_is_Not_Callable [Solved]⠀⇛ The “Typeerror: ‘list’ Object is Not Callable” error occurs when users access the list incorrectly or call a function same name as the list in the same code. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ How_to_Use_the_Matplotlib_imshow() Method⠀⇛ The matplotlib “imshow()” method is used for creating an image from 2-D numpy array and generated image will include one square for each element of the array. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Matplotlib_Line_Thickness⠀⇛ To change the line width/thickness in Python, the “matplotlib” library can be used. It creates interactive visualization, animation, and static. # § Java⠀➾ # ⚓ What_is_a_Supplier_in_Java⠀⇛ In Java, a supplier is a functional interface from the Java.util.function package that represents a supplier of results. It does not take any arguments and returns a value of the specified type. # ⚓ What_is_a_Provider_in_Java⠀⇛ In Java, a Provider is a class or interface that provides a way to obtain or create instances of a specific type or service. read more » o § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ # ⚓ Simon Josefsson ☛ Simon_Josefsson:_Streamlined_NTRU_Prime sntrup761_goes_to_IETF⠀⇛ The OpenSSH project added support for a hybrid Streamlined_NTRU_Prime post-quantum key encapsulation method sntrup761 to strengthen their X25519-based default in their version_8.5_released on_2021-03-03. While there has been a lot of talk about post-quantum crypto generally, my impression has been that there has been a slowdown in implementing and deploying them in the past two years. Why is that?

KOL411 was a tutorial on copyright law. o ⚓ TTAB Blog ☛ TTAB_Affirms_Genericnes_Refusal_of_COOKIEBOT_for_….. Guess_What?⠀⇛ Wrong. This case has nothing to do with baked goods. The Board upheld the USPTO’s refusal to register COOKIEBOT for “Software as a service (SAAS) services featuring software for monitoring and managing data collection and Internet usage tracking, for complying with privacy regulations regarding data collection and Internet usage tracking, and for user consent and permissions management regarding website access, data collection and Internet usage tracking,” on the ground of genericness. The Board also upheld an alternative refusal based on mere descriptiveness and lack of secondary meaning.

Cataldo). * § Copyrights⠀➾ o ⚓ Public Knowledge ☛ Generative_AI_is_Disruptive,_But_More Copyright_Isn’t_the_Answer.⠀⇛ Progress in artificial intelligence seems to be something that happens, to paraphrase Ernest Hemingway, in two ways: gradually, then suddenly. o ⚓ New York Times ☛ How_MTV_Broke_News_for_a_Generation⠀⇛ MTV News bridged a gap between news and pop culture without talking down to its young audience. As it prepares to shut down, Kurt Loder, Tabitha Soren, Sway Calloway and others reflect on its legacy. o ⚓ Heather J Meeker ☛ Video:_Generative_AI,_Open_Source_License Compliance,_and_Copyright_Law [Ed: She needs to disclose her Microsoft connections]⠀⇛ Check out FOSSA’s video on my recent talk. o ⚓ Public Domain Review ☛ Photographs_of_the_Los_Angeles_Alligator Farm_(ca._1907)⠀⇛ These images of the LA Alligator Farm depict a level of casual proximity unthinkable today. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2795 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 05.12.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Links_12/05/2023:_PostgreSQL_15.3_and_Escuelas_Linux_8.2⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 10:04 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * GNU/Linux o Server o Graphics_Stack o Desktop_Environments/WMs # K_Desktop_Environment/KDE_SC/Qt * Distributions_and_Operating_Systems o New_Releases o Fedora_Family_/_IBM o Canonical/Ubuntu_Family o Devices/Embedded o Open_Hardware/Modding o Mobile_Systems/Mobile_Applications * Free,_Libre,_and_Open_Source_Software o SaaS/Back_End/Databases o Licensing_/_Legal o Programming/Development * Leftovers * Education * Hardware * Health/Nutrition/Agriculture * Proprietary * Security o Privacy/Surveillance * Defence/Aggression * Environment o Energy/Transportation o Wildlife/Nature o Overpopulation * Finance * AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics * Censorship/Free_Speech * Freedom_of_Information_/_Freedom_of_the_Press * Civil_Rights/Policing * Internet_Policy/Net_Neutrality * Monopolies o Copyrights * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal o Technical # Science # Internet/Gemini # Programming * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o § Server⠀➾ # ⚓ The Next Platform ☛ When_Push_Comes_To_Shove,_Google Invests_Heavily_In_GPU_Compute⠀⇛ A year ago, at its Google I/O 2022 event, Google revealed_to_the_world that it had eight pods of TPUv4 accelerators, with a combined 32,768 of its fourth generation, homegrown matrix math accelerators, running in a machine learning hub located in its Mayes County, Oklahoma datacenter. o § Graphics Stack⠀➾ # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ DXVK_2.2_Released_with_D3D11On12_Support,_D3D9 Partial_Presentation⠀⇛ DXVK 2.2 is here three and a half months after DXVK 2.1, which introduced HDR support and Shader compilation improvements, to add support for D3D11On12. This new feature enables the creation of D3D11 devices from D3D12 devices to allow D3D12 support in recent Unity Engine games, such as Lego Builder’s Journey. Another new feature introduced in DXVK 2.2 is called “D3D9 partial presentation”. This feature enables DXVK to present parts of a window by copying the contents of the back buffer to system memory and then drawing them into the window on the CPU. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Mesa_graphics_drivers_23.1.0_out_now_with RADV_GPL_enabled⠀⇛ Another fresh release of Mesa is now available, the set of open source graphics drivers for Linux and Steam Deck with v23.1.0 out now. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Nate Graham ☛ These_weeks_in_KDE:_no_more_hidey-hidey authentication_dialog_games⠀⇛ In addition to the changes made and announced during the recent Plasma Sprint at Tuxedo Computers’ offices in Augsburg, lots of other things have been brewing as well! # ⚓ Plasma_6_Sprint⠀⇛ # ⚓ DebugPoint ☛ KDE_Plasma_6.0_Development_Update: Default_Settings,_Wayland,_and_More⠀⇛ The work for Plasma 6 started last year to port the entire codebase to Qt 6 with improvements and code cleanups. After completing the recent development workshop for Plasma 6, significant changes and improvements are now visible, which might land in the final release of Plasma 6. Here’s all the details. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ OSTechNix ☛ How_To_Test_Linux_Distros_Online_With_DistroSea⠀⇛ Are you interested in trying out different Linux distributions but don’t want to go through the hassle of installing them on your machine? Look no further! In this guide, we’ll show you how to test Linux distros online using DistroSea. Whether you’re a seasoned Linux user or just getting started, testing distros online is a convenient and risk-free way to explore different flavors of Linux and find the one that best suits your needs. o ⚓ HaikuOS ☛ Haiku:_The_Icon_Sets_Proposed_in_the_Icon_Contest⠀⇛ In 2006, an contest was held to create an original icon set for Haiku to replace the BeOS R5 icons. With the passage of time, much of the content surrounding the event has rotted away, including images of the proposed icon sets. Luckily, the Internet Archive has backups! The Stipi icon set won, with Honey, zuMi and Mc Clintock trailing close behind. o § New Releases⠀➾ # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ Educational_Distro_Escuelas_Linux_8.2_Released with_Linux_Kernel_6.2⠀⇛ Powered by Linux kernel 6.2 for the 64-bit edition, which is patched and packed by System76, and Linux kernel 4.19 LTS for the 32-bit edition, the Escuelas Linux 8.2 release is here with the most recent version of the Bodhi Linux-developed desktop environment to date, Moksha 0.4.0-7, offering a highly polished and beautiful environment for running educational apps. Talking about apps, Escuelas Linux 8.2 includes many updated software like Audacity 3.3.2, Blender 3.5, GCompris 3.2, Mozilla Firefox 113, LibreOffice 7.5.3, Minetest 5.7, Veyon 4.8, Kdenlive 23.04, Google Chrome 113, IBM Java 8.0, ONLYOFFICE 7.3.3, Wine 8.7, wxMaxima 23.04, and Zotero 6.0.26. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Hari Rana ☛ Overview_of_Flatpak’s_Permission_Models⠀⇛ Flatpak’s permissions can be confusing. Some are technical and need knowledge on how they work, and others are self-explanatory. Some are added before the app starts, known as static permissions, and some are requested when the user runs the app, known as dynamic permissions. Many may also criticize Flatpak for lacking Android-style permissions while being unaware of the existence of XDG Desktop Portals. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Canonical_at_Dell_Technologies_World_2023⠀⇛ Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, is proud to sponsor Dell Technologies World this year and have presence on the Expo. Join us in Las Vegas on May, 22–25 to discover how Canonical and Dell can help you securely advance your business and serve your customers with cutting-edge technologies. Register to Dell Technologies World 2023 Come to our booth, meet the OrangeBox, watch to live Demos and Speaking Sessions, and have some fun with the Trivia Game. You can win great swags and prizes! # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Matter_on_Ubuntu:_getting_started_with_the standard_for_smart_home_devices⠀⇛ Canonical joined the Connectivity Standards Alliance last year to lead the charge for Linux in the smart home. The Matter standard is a particular focus for us. Its secure design and open ecosystem align well with Ubuntu’s own values of security and openness. Ubuntu Core and Matter make for a powerful pair. Ubuntu Core’s containerisation makes it a highly secure OS that pairs well with the highly secure protocol. Its update and device management capabilities provide the missing pieces that the Matter standard leaves up to device makers to implement. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ EDATEC_ED-IPC2010_–_A_compact_DIN_Rail mountable_industrial_computer_based_on_Raspberry_Pi_CM4⠀⇛ Note that the specifications above are both for the carrier board and the industrial computer, and some of the interfaces such as MIPI DSI, MIPI CSI, and the FPC (HDMI+USB) connector are not accessible with the standard enclosure. On the software side, EDATEC simply asked people to use Raspberry Pi OS or Raspberry Pi OS Lite, and from what I read on the user manual, which you can download from the product page, you’ll mostly need to install the BSP for hardware-specific code… # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Google_Coral_Dev_Board_Micro_available_for ~$83.29⠀⇛ The Coral Dev Board Micro is a small dual-core microcontroller device with a 4 TOPS ML accelerator and built-in camera. These embedded boards, the compatible PoE module and Wi-Fi/BT5.0 module are already available from a couple of global distributors. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ Raspberry_Pi_Alternative_Orange_Pi_5_Plus Brings_RK3588_to_the_SBC_Game⠀⇛ Orange Pi 5 is set to launch its latest SBC with a beefier RK3588 SoC and a plethora of RAM options # ⚓ Arduino ☛ Emoband_strokes_and_squeezes_your_wrist⠀⇛ Modern consumer devices are fantastic at providing visual and auditory stimulation, but they fail to excite any of the other senses. At most, we get some tactile sensation in the form of haptic feedback. # ⚓ Arduino ☛ Fingertip_force_control_aids_in_sports_and musical_training⠀⇛ An Arduino Uno Rev3 board paired with a function generator gives the system precise control over the EMS unit, allowing it to adjust muscle stimulation as necessary. It does so in real-time in response to fingertip force estimated by a machine-learning regression model. An expert in the activity could use the system to train it on the proper amount of force for an action, then the system could provide the amount of stimulation necessary for a new student to replicate the expert’s force. With practice, the student would gain a feel for the force and then could perform the activity on their own without the aid of the system. # ⚓ Andrew Hutchings ☛ Schneider_Euro_PC:_Restoration_Part_6⠀⇛ As mentioned in a previous post, I was a little wary that I might have caused damage to the parallel port IC when the tantalum capacitor popped. My original plan was to buy a parallel port sound card and try that, unfortunately shipping of this is taking a really long time. So, this will be for a follow-up video. # ⚓ Purism ☛ Cybersecurity_Attacks_Launched_From_Operating Systems_&_Apps_On_The_Rise⠀⇛ According to a new report from Secureworks, endpoint attack vectors that include email, popular operating systems, and apps are on the rise. In response to attacks by way of Android apps, Google has removed thousands of nefarious apps that had the capability to launch malware enabling developers to launch a wide array of attacks including Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, Man-in-the-Middle (MitM), and Ransomware attacks. It is a little-known fact that bad actors can launch attacks on networks and critical infrastructure by way of popular operating systems that support surveillance and data mining technologies. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Gizmo China ☛ Legion_Y900_Tablet_Review:_A_Portable_14″ Monitor_Runs_Android_With_Excellent_Performance⠀⇛ # ⚓ SamMobile ☛ Google_to_update_50+_Android_apps_with_better UI_for_foldables,_tablets_–_SamMobile⠀⇛ # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ These_Two_Vital_New_Privacy_Features_Are Coming_to_Your_Android_Phone⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Police ☛ Nearby_Share:_How_to_use_Android’s_AirDrop alternative⠀⇛ # ⚓ Sportskeeda ☛ Best_Honkai_Star_Rail_settings_on_Android devices⠀⇛ # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Why_does_Google_think_people_want_to_Zoom_from their_cars?⠀⇛ Dubbed Android Auto, Google says the software will be available in 200 million cars by the end of the year. Specifically, the update will add functionality for Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Webex by Cisco, allowing drivers to “join important meetings without taking your eyes off the road.” * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ # ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ PostgreSQL_15.3,_14.8,_13.11,_12.15,_and_11.20 Released!⠀⇛ The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported versions of PostgreSQL, including 15.3, 14.8, 13.11, 12.15, and 11.20. This release fixes two security vulnerabilities and over 80 bugs reported over the last several months. For the full list of changes, please review the release_notes. # ⚓ 37signals LLC ☛ It’s_not_just_cloud_costs_that_are_out_of control⠀⇛ We’re letting our yearly commitment to Datadog, a performance and monitoring tool, expire at the end of this month. Not because we don’t like the service. It’s actually really nice! But because the $88,000/year it was going to cost us to continue is just ridiculous. And it’s emblematic of a larger issue: Enterprise SaaS pricing is getting silly. # ⚓ Terence Eden ☛ Doctrine_–_difference_between_bindValue() and_setParameter()_on_prepared_statements⠀⇛ This pissed me off and I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. So I’m blogging about my ignorance. Imagine you’re using Symfony and Doctrine to access a database. You are using prepared statements to prevent any SQL injection problems. There are two main ways of doing this – and they disagree about how positional variables should be specified. o § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ # ⚓ The Drone Girl ☛ Florida_delivery_drone_law_set_to_go_into effect_this_July⠀⇛ Not every drone-related law passed in Florida has been welcome by the drone industry. And in fact, many have not been welcome. But there’s one that some drone delivery companies in particular are lauding — and it’s set to go into effect on July 1. Florida SB 1068 and its House companion, HB 1071, dig into the issue of building drone ports. More specifically, it is expected to make construction of drone ports throughout Florida a lot easier. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Fernando Borretti ☛ Return_Reasons,_Not_Booleans⠀⇛ When you have a predicate that acts on a tree data structure, rather than return a Boolean, you should return an object that represents success/failure and carries explanatory information in the failure case. # ⚓ Achim Zeileis ☛ Coloring_in_R’s_blind_spot⠀⇛ Prior to version 4.0.0 R had a poor default color palette (using highly saturated red, green, blue, etc.) and provided very few alternative palettes, most of which also had poor perceptual properties (like the infamous rainbow palette). Starting with version 4.0.0 R gained a new and much improved default palette and, in addition, a selection of more than 100 well-established palettes are now available via the functions palette.colors() and hcl.colors(). The former provides a range of popular qualitative palettes for categorical data while the latter closely approximates many popular sequential and diverging palettes by systematically varying the perceptual hue, chroma, luminance (HCL) properties in the palette. This paper provides an overview of these new color functions and the palettes they provide along with advice about which palettes are appropriate for specific tasks, especially with regard to making them accessible to viewers with color vision deficiencies. # ⚓ Adolfo Ochagavía ☛ You_are_holding_it_wrong⠀⇛ Here is the same program, now in Rust: [...] After all this years using and contributing to Rust, it still feels like a major breakthrough bridging Computer Science research and pragmatic software development3. This kind of program analysis is supposed to be too impractical for real-world programming, yet it works! # ⚓ Brad Taunt ☛ Working_with_git_Patches_in_Apple_Mail⠀⇛ I recently covered how to work with git email patches in Evolution on Linux, so I thought it would make sense to walk through a similar workflow for those using Apple Mail on MacOS. The idea is essentially the same, with just a little extra work involved. # ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ I’ve_mostly_stopped_reading technical_mailing_lists⠀⇛ The primary change I’ve noticed of these mailing lists is that they see a lot more questions that are either basic or very specific, where if I had the question I would have expected to answer it myself by reading through the documentation. In the beginning I had unkind descriptions of these sorts of questions, but I’ve come to be more sympathetic to them, especially the questions that come from people abroad who may not have English as their first language. The unfortunate fact is that projects aren’t necessarily well documented and their documentation probably is dauntingly hard to read for people who aren’t fluent in technical English, and people have work to get done (using those projects). Turning to the project user mailing list and asking their questions, if it works, is probably much faster than the alternatives (and their boss may be yelling at them to get it done ASAP). # ⚓ Earthly ☛ Implementing_OAuth_2.0_Flow_in_Non-Web_Clients⠀⇛ It’s easy and intuitive to implement OAuth 2.0 in web applications. However, when setting up OAuth 2.0 for non-web clients this becomes difficult as OAuth 2.0 requires redirect (callback) URLs. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Linux_Fu:_C_On_Jupyter⠀⇛ If you are a Pythonista or a data scientist, you’ve probably used Jupyter. If you haven’t, it is an interesting way to work with Python by placing it in a Markdown document in a web browser. Part spreadsheet, part web page, part Python program, you create notebooks that can contain data, programs, graphics, and widgets. You can run it locally and attach to it via a local port with a browser or, of course, run it in the cloud if you like. But you don’t have to use Python. # ⚓ KDAB ☛ Value_Semantics⠀⇛ C++ is an old language. Many aspects of our programming styles have become habits that we do not think about too much today. # ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_crc32c_0.0.2_on CRAN:_Build_Fixes⠀⇛ A first follow-up to the initial_announcement just days ago of the new crc32c package. The package offers cyclical checksum with parity in hardware- accelerated form on (recent enough) intel cpus as well as on arm64. # ⚓ Rlang ☛ How_R_Shiny_Helps_Protect_Coral_Reefs_in Micronesia⠀⇛ Appsilon is on a mission to tackle global challenges around climate change and biodiversity loss – the biggest threats faced by humanity. We collaborate with scientists, organizations, and businesses to make a positive impact on the world. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ The Nation ☛ The_Playful_Pop_of_100_gecs⠀⇛ Laura Les and Dylan Brady, the duo behind 100 gecs, operate at the bleeding edge of something. Their music feels like a breath of fresh air: at once wearing its musical inspirations on its sleeve, while also working toward something entirely organic and fresh. Call it what you’d like, but to me it sounds like the zeitgeist. o ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ Catcher_and_philosopher:_Yogi_Berra_gets_his_due⠀⇛ When one of baseball’s greats seems to be overlooked, what’s the best way to correct that? The director of “It Ain’t Over” offers a documentary that looks fondly at famous Hall of Famer Yogi Berra. o ⚓ New York Times ☛ Why_Do_Cats_Hold_Such_Mythic_Power_in_Japan?⠀⇛ A journey through a country where felines are revered, adored and sometimes seen as actual demons. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Jump_Like_Mario_With_This_Weighted_Wearable⠀⇛ Virtual reality has come a long way in the past decade, with successful commercial offerings for gaming platforms still going strong as well as a number of semi-virtual, or augmented, reality tools that are proving their worth outside of a gaming environment as well. But with all this success they still haven’t quite figured out methods of locomotion that feel natural like walking or running. One research group is leaping to solve one of these issues with JumpMod: a wearable device that enhances the sensation of jumping. # ⚓ MIT Technology Review ☛ This_new_genome_map_tries_to capture_all_human_genetic_variation⠀⇛ The joke about the Human Genome Project is how many times it’s been finished, but not actually. The first time was in 2000,  when Bill Clinton announced the “first survey of the entire human genome” at a White House ceremony, calling it “the most important and most wondrous map ever produced by humankind.” # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ We_Saw_This_Star_Die_5_Times,_And_It_Shows How_Fast_The_Universe_Is_Expanding⠀⇛ We kept seeing it happen for the very first time. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Brain-Altering_Fungi_Could_Become_a_Radical New_Ingredient_in_Medicine⠀⇛ We’re about to take a trip. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Surprise_Magnetic_Signal_May_Finally_Solve The_Mystery_of_Fast_Radio_Bursts⠀⇛ We’ve never known what causes them. o ⚓ Buttondown ☛ Problems_harder_than_NP-Complete⠀⇛ People always talk about “P vs NP” like P problems are easy and NP problems are hard. This is a useful day-to- day model but also an oversimplification. Problems can get way, way harder than NP. * § Education⠀➾ o ⚓ LRT ☛ Lithuania’s_education_minister_suspected_of_abusing municipal_funds⠀⇛ Before becoming the minister of education, conservative politician Jurgita Šiugždinienė took a payment of nearly 14,000 euros from Kaunas municipality, where she was a council member. The funds were intended to cover work- related expenses but, according to the journalist Andrius Tapinas who broke the story, there is no evidence to justify the payment. * § Hardware⠀➾ o ⚓ New York Times ☛ Taiwan_Is_Running_Low_on_a_Strategic_Asset: Engineers⠀⇛ Taiwan’s world-dominating microchip sector was built by TSMC’s skilled employees. But a demographic crisis, demanding work culture and flagging interest threaten its lead. o ⚓ New York Times ☛ Peloton_Shares_Slide_After_It_Recalls_Two Million_Exercise_Bikes⠀⇛ The company is offering to replace seat posts on the bikes after receiving 35 reports of the equipment breaking. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Reverse_Engineering_An_Oil_Burner_Comms_Board,_With_A Few_Lucky_Breaks⠀⇛ Here’s a question for you: How do you reverse engineer a circuit when you don’t even have it in hand? It’s an interesting problem, and it adds a level of difficulty to the already iffy proposition that reverse engineering generally presents. And yet, not only did [themole] find a way to replicate a comms board for his oil burner, he extended and enhanced the circuit for integration into his home automation network. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Converting_On-Grid_Electronics_To_Off-Grid⠀⇛ Husband and wife team [Jason & Kara] hail from Canada, and in 2018, after building their own camper, sold up their remaining earthly goods and headed south. If you’re not aware of them, they documented their journey on their YouTube channel, showing many interesting skills and hacks along the way. The video we’re highlighting today shows a myriad of ways to power all the DC-consuming gadgets this they lug along with them. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ FNIRSI_Vs_Rigol:_An_Alternate_View⠀⇛ We’ve heard of the FNIRSI 1014D scope, but we’ve had the impression that it might not be a great scope, although it is economical. [Learn Electronics Repair] had heard from another YouTuber that it was “a piece of junk.” However, he wanted to look at it compared to another inexpensive scope, the Rigol DS1052E. His results were different from what we usually hear. To be clear, he didn’t think it was a perfect scope, but he did find it very usable for his purpose. o ⚓ SparkFun Electronics ☛ Ajay_Bhatt_and_the_Universal_Serial_Bus⠀⇛ Ajay Bhatt is a computer engineer who is widely recognized as one of the key inventors of the Universal Serial Bus (USB). His work has had a profound impact on the electronics industry in countless ways; including the standardization of interfaces, increased data transfer speeds, and improved power management. Learn more about him and USB technology here! o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Hackaday_Prize_2023:_Uno_Plus+_Updates_A_Classic⠀⇛ As an introduction to embedded electronics and programming in a straightforward environment, there isn’t much out there that can hold a torch to the Arduino Uno. Cheap (especially if you count the clones), easy to find, and quick to deploy, with countless support libraries, it’s a go-to for many a hack. This scribe simply can’t remember how many he’s bought, hacked, and deployed over the years. But can it be improved? [John Loeffler] thinks so, and his 2023 Hackaday Prize entry, the Uno Plus+ could be the one. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Hackaday_Prize_2023:_Meet_The_Ten_Re-Engineering Education_Finalists⠀⇛ They say time flies when you’re having fun, and doubly so when you’re hacking hardware. If you can believe it, we’ve already closed out the first challenge of the 2023 Hackaday Prize, and you know what that means — it’s time to announce the 10 finalists. * § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ o ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ After_Panel_Recommendation,_Groups_Say_FDA_Must Approve_OTC_Birth_Control_‘Without_Delay’⠀⇛ Reproductive rights groups on Wednesday called on the Food and Drug Administration to approve a birth control pill for over-the-counter use “without any further delay” after an advisory panel unanimously recommended permitting use of the medication without a prescription—two decades after advocates first began campaigning on the issue. o ⚓ Off Guardian ☛ Get_Ready_for_Pfizer’s_“TURBO-CHARGED_GUIDED MISSILE”_Cancer_Drugs⠀⇛ Our fearless leaders love war. They love talking about it. They love playing war games. They love fighting in actual wars. That’s because they always benefit from them—any kind of war. “We’re going fight this and win,” they say. o ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Cold_Water_Therapy_Might_Do_More_Harm_Than_Good. An_Expert_Explains.⠀⇛ Time to chill. o ⚓ Science Alert ☛ It’s_Confirmed:_Babies_With_DNA_From_Three_People Are_Now_Being_Born_in_The_UK⠀⇛ Here’s what we can tell you. o ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ ’12-Week_Abortion_Ban_Is_Not_About_Life’:_Bishop Barber_Blasts_North_Carolina_GOP⠀⇛ Ahead of a gathering at the North Carolina General Assembly planned for Friday morning, Bishop William Barber II on Thursday called out the state’s Republican lawmakers for trying to ban abortions after 12 weeks, rather than the current 20 weeks. o ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Sanders,_Omar_Lead_Charge_to_Ensure_No_Child_Goes Hungry_at_School_Again⠀⇛ Demanding an end to the “international embarrassment” of childhood hunger the the world’s wealthiest country, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders on Thursday was among the lawmakers who introduced legislation to ensure all children in the United States have sufficient food at school without means-testing and stigmatizing those who rely on free meals. o ⚓ The Nation ☛ Joy,_Revolution,_and_Tear_Gas:_My_May_Day_In_Paris⠀⇛ It was a beautiful May Day in Paris, and the air was filled with poison. o ⚓ The Nation ☛ Now_More_Than_Ever,_We_Need_to_Fight,_Not_Despair⠀⇛ A couple of years ago, I was chatting online with a writer I admire, when he suggested that my expectations for how people were dealing with the Covid pandemic were too high. The thrust of his comments was that humans are self-interested creatures who will always prioritize their own survival, even at the expense of others, and that this was especially true during bad times. In that case, I asked, what we were supposed to do with that knowledge, as we saw the death toll mount week by week? “Despair,” he said.1 o ⚓ uni Michigan ☛ U-M_study_may_help_identify_patients_needing_liver transplants⠀⇛ A recent study conducted by a team of University of Michigan medical researchers may help to identify which patients suffering from acute liver failure need liver transplants to live and which can survive without them, helping hospitals more effectively allocate organ donations. * § Proprietary⠀➾ o ⚓ IDG ☛ Developer-focused_portal_Stack_Overflow_lays_off_10% staff⠀⇛ Stack Overflow, a question-and-answer portal for developers, would lay off 10% of its workforce, the company announced. The job cuts, which will affect at least 58 employees, are a result of the company’s renewed focus on profitability due to macroeconomic concerns, CEO Prashanth Chandrasekar said in a blog post. “Our focus for this fiscal year is on profitability and that, along with macroeconomic pressures, led to today’s changes. They were also the result of taking a hard look at our strategic priorities for this fiscal year as well as our organisational structure as we invest in the continued growth of Stack Overflow for Teams and pursue agility and flexibility,” Chandrasekar said. o ⚓ Wired ☛ Self-Driving_Cars_Are_Being_Put_on_a_Data_Diet [Ed: Way to say (spin) this entire sector is doomed and has already failed, no chance of fiscal redemption at this point (just riding VC's money till depletion is complete, lying to them to buy more time)]⠀⇛ o ⚓ Akamai_Technologies_Layoffs:_Web_Services_Company_Fires_Nearly_3% of_Global_Workforce,_300_Employees_Will_Lose_Jobs⠀⇛ Web services company Akamai Technologies is laying off.. o ⚓ Cointelegraph ☛ Elon_Musk_announces_he_will_step_down_as_Twitter CEO⠀⇛ Twitter CEO Elon Musk has announced that he will be transitioning to executive chair and chief technology officer of the social media platform in roughly six weeks. In a May 11 tweet, Musk said he hired a new CEO for X Corp. — Twitter’s parent company — who will likely replace him starting in late June or early July. The unnamed woman will follow Musk, who took over the social media platform in October 2022 after completing a $44 billion acquisition. According to the soon-to-be-former CEO, he will be overseeing product, software and system operations. Musk fired former CEO Parag Agrawal upon his takeover. Agrawal succeeded Jack Dorsey, the co-founder of the platform, which first launched in 2006. o ⚓ Disney_Stock_Falls_on_Uncertainty_Over_Streaming_Profitability, Ad_Weakness⠀⇛ Shares of Disney slipped as much as 9% in trading Thursday after the media conglomerate reported earnings for the first three months of 2023. Disney’s earnings report showed progress on the cost-cutting front — with streaming losses narrowing for the quarter — but analysts cited a weak advertising outlook and uncertainty over when its streaming business can contribute to the bottom line. At market close Thursday, Disney’s stock price was $92.31/share, down 8.7% for the day, and off its 52-week high of $126.48. o ⚓ Your Story ☛ SoftBank_is_still_losing_money⠀⇛ SoftBank Group Corp made investments totalling only about $3.14 billion across its two primary funding vehicles in the 2022-2023 financial year–a significant reduction from $44.26 billion invested in the year prior. o ⚓ BW Businessworld Media Pvt Ltd ☛ Meta_Forays_Into_Generative_AI, Says_Looking_At_AI_Ad_Tools⠀⇛ Social media giant Meta Platforms Inc joined the generative AI product race on Thursday, saying it would begin testing artificial intelligence-powered ad tools that can create content like image backgrounds and variations of written text. A select group of advertisers will be invited to experiment with the tools in a “testing playground” that the company is calling the AI Sandbox, Meta executives said at a press event in New York. o ⚓ Jussi Pakkanen ☛ The_real_reason_why_open_source_software_is better⠀⇛ The prevailing consensus at the current time seems to be that open source software is of higher quality than corresponding proprietary ones. Several reasons have been put forth on why this is. One main reason given is that with open source any programmer in the world can inspect the code and contribute fixes. Closely tied to this is the fact that it is plain not possible to hide massive blunders in open source projects whereas behind closed walls it is trivial. All of these and more are valid reasons for improved quality. But there are other, more sinister reasons that are usually not spoken of. In order to understand one of them, we need to first do a slight detour. o ⚓ David Rosenthal ☛ Flooding_The_Zone_With_Shit⠀⇛ My immediate reaction to the news of ChatGPT was to tell friends “at last, we have solved the Fermi Paradox”[1]. It wasn’t that I feared being told “This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it”, but rather that I assumed that civilizations across the galaxy evolved to be able to implement ChatGPT-like systems, which proceeded to irretrievably pollute their information environment, preventing any further progress. Below the fold I explain why my on-line experience, starting from Usenet in the early 80s, leads me to believe that humanity’s existential threat from these AIs comes from Steve Bannon and his ilk flooding the zone with shit[2]. o § Windows TCO⠀➾ # ⚓ Los Angeles Times ☛ Cracks,_hacks,_attacks:_California’s vulnerable_water_system_faces_many_threats⠀⇛ On a February morning in 2021, a water treatment plant operator in Oldsmar, Fla., noticed something unusual: An unidentified user had remotely accessed the plant’s computer system and was moving the mouse around the screen. The operator watched as the intruder clicked into various software programs before landing on a function that controls the amount of sodium hydroxide, or lye, in the plant’s water system. The hacker then increased the amount of lye — a potentially dangerous substance used to control acidity — from 100 parts per million to 11,100 parts per million. The plant operator reversed the change almost immediately, and officials said there was never any threat to public safety. But the incident has highlighted the threats facing major drinking water systems across the country. # ⚓ [Repeat] New York Times ☛ U.S._Says_It_Dismantled_Russia’s ‘Most_Sophisticated’_Malware_Network⠀⇛ In a newly unsealed 33-page court filing from a federal judge in Brooklyn, a cybersecurity agent, Taylor Forry, laid out how the effort, called Operation Medusa, would take place. The Snake system, the court documents said, operated as a “peer to peer” network that linked together infected computers around the world. Leveraging that, the F.B.I. planned to infiltrate the system using an infected computer in the United States, overriding the code on every infected computer to “permanently disable” the network. # ⚓ Marcy Wheeler ☛ Russia’s_Snakes_Got_DePlaned⠀⇛ The US claims to have substantially shut down the infrastructure of one of Russia’s most sophisticated cyberespionage groups. * § Security⠀➾ o ⚓ Fedora_36_reaches_EOL_on_2023-05-16⠀⇛ The Fedora Project has announced that Fedora 36 will reach EOL (end-of-life) on 2023-05-16.

For the public, Fusus also sells hardware that can be added to private cameras and convert privately-owned video into instantly- accessible parts of the police surveillance network. In Atlanta, Memphis, Orlando, and dozens of other locations, police officers have been asking the public to buy into a Fusus-fueled surveillance system, at times sounding like eager pitchmen trying to convince people and businesses to trade away privacy for a false sense of security. The model expands police access to personal information collected by private cameras that would otherwise require warrants and community conversation. Because these cameras are privately owned, police can enjoy their use without having to create and follow records retention and deletion policies. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has been collecting and reviewing documents about cities’ uses of Fusus, which counts nearly 150 jurisdictions as customers. You can access these records on DocumentCloud. EFF also shared these documents with the Thomson Reuters Foundation, which published its report today. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Twitter_Launches_Not-Actually-Encrypted Encrypted_DMs⠀⇛ For many months now, Elon has been promising encrypted DMs. And, indeed, we’ve pointed out that he’s absolutely correct that this is an important feature, and one that social media services should offer. The fact that he’s brought it up a bunch and it seemed to be a priority was definitely a good thing, and for all the criticism we’ve leveled at Musk for his decisions at Twitter, I was still hopeful that he’d do at least this one good thing. # ⚓ Cryptography Engineering ☛ On_Ashton_Kutcher_and_Secure Multi-Party_Computation⠀⇛ As unusual as this may sound, Kutcher has been very active in the technical debate around client-side scanning. He’s the co-founder of an organization called Thorn, which aims to develop cryptographic technology to enable CSAM scanning. In March he gave an impassioned speech to the EU Parliament urging the deployment of these technologies, and remarkably he didn’t just talk about the policy side of things. When asked how to balance user privacy against the needs of scanning, he even made a concrete technical proposal: to use fully- homomorphic encryption (FHE) as a means to evaluate encrypted messages. # ⚓ Site36 ☛ New_law_for_German_Federal_Police_brings_more powers_for_„danger_prevention“⠀⇛ Federal police officers are also to be allowed to wiretap homes and take pictures in order to „danger prevention“ if this serves to combat „serious smuggling of migrants“ or „organised groups of perpetrators“. Since 2016, the Federal Police has been allowed to deploy undercover officers and to conduct informants,, and this is also to be extended to danger prevention. The use of „automatic image recording devices“, which can be set up at borders, for example, has been given its own provision. The wearing of body cams and the video surveillance of detention rooms will also be regulated by law. As before, the Federal Police will be allowed to set up number plate recognition devices, provided that this is done „temporarily and not on a nationwide basis“. What is new is the rampant use of drones, which are referred to in the bill as „mobile sensor carriers“ and can record images and sound at all public events or gatherings as well as at railway stations. In addition, the Federal Police will also be given resources to counter unwanted drones. # ⚓ APNIC ☛ Privacy_and_networking:_Part_2_—_Legal_and_ethical privacy⠀⇛ Guest Post: How does privacy impact network design and operations? * § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ o ⚓ JURIST ☛ UN_rights_council_condemns_Sudan_violence_amid_mounting civilian_casualties⠀⇛ The UN Human Rights Council on Thursday narrowly passed a resolution condemning violations of humanitarian law amid the ongoing violence that has swept Sudan in recent weeks. o ⚓ RFA ☛ ASEAN’s_Myanmar_peace_plan_has_been_ineffective,_bloc_chair Indonesia_acknowledges⠀⇛ At end of summit, however, Southeast Asian bloc sticks to widely criticized five-point peace plan. o ⚓ teleSUR ☛ Gun_Deaths_Reach_New_High_In_Texas,_US⠀⇛ Texas recorded 15 gun deaths per 100,000 residents in 2021. o ⚓ RFA ☛ A_year_after_slaughter,_Myanmar_villagers_mourn_29_deaths, still_live_in_fear⠀⇛ Grief mingles with defiance in Sagaing, where evidence of an atrocity was recorded on a soldier’s cell phone. o ⚓ JURIST ☛ UN_commissioner_urges_humanitarian_response_in_Haiti, warns_against_‘never-ending_cycle_of_violence’⠀⇛ UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk on Tuesday warned against a “never-ending cycle of violence” in Haiti after releasing a quarterly report on the island nation.

However, these projects were all built in the early-mid 1900s and weren’t designed for today’s circumstances, including global warming, significant population growth leading to greater water requirements, and the strain on the environment from increases in consumptive uses of water. Additionally, farming has changed, with a decrease in annual crops and an increase in more permanent crops like trees and vines, which make annual water supply fluctuations more difficult for farmers to adjust to. # ⚓ EuroNews ☛ Water_gaps:_Where_in_Europe_is_most_at_risk_of water_shortages_and_what_can_be_done_about_it?⠀⇛ Humans are using more water than the natural water cycle can provide.

She was shot while wearing a blue helmet and blue flak jacket clearly emblazoned with the word “press.” Abu Akleh was one of the most prominent TV journalists in the Arab world and had worked for Al Jazeera for a quarter of a century. She was also a U.S. citizen. But a year after her death, no one has been held accountable despite detailed testimony from eyewitnesses to the shooting.

He adds that while the White House has been very vocal about the case of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who is detained in Russia, the response to Abu Akleh’s killing has been muted. “Shireen was an American citizen, and her family deserves the same calls for justice, the same push for accountability from the White House.” o ⚓ The Dissenter ☛ Whether_You_Consider_Julian_Assange_A_Journalist Matters⠀⇛ o ⚓ JURIST ☛ US_Supreme_Court_rules_against_Puerto_Rico_journalists seeking_documents_from_financial_oversight_board⠀⇛ The US Supreme Court on Thursday ruled against a group of Puerto Rico journalists who were seeking documents from the island’s financial oversight board, saying that the board is protected from such information requests by sovereign immunity. o ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ Publishers_must_rethink_the_value_proposition_of event_sponsorship [Ed: Bribery vector]⠀⇛ Data is the new currency of event sponsorship.

Announcing its decision, the union said that the bargaining table responses of the AMPTP, which consists of Amazon, Apple, Discovery-Warner, Disney, NBC Universal, Netflix, Paramount, and Sony, had ‘been wholly insufficient given the existential crisis writers are facing.’” Even though overall production budgets have risen in the past decade, writer pay has declined, and the rise of streaming services has translated to lower residuals for writers, shorter paid work periods and more precarious employment, etc., with studios even threatening to replace more essential creative labor with AI software. o ⚓ New York Times ☛ Striking_Writers_Find_Their_Villain:_Netflix⠀⇛ Fear of protests prompted the streaming giant to shift an anticipated presentation for advertisers to a virtual event and a top executive to skip an honorary gala. o ⚓ JURIST ☛ UK_Bar_Council,_Archbishop_of_Canterbury_call_Illegal Migration_Bill_‘deeply_flawed’_and_‘morally_unacceptable’⠀⇛ The UK Bar Council on Wednesday called on peers in the House of Lords to reject the “deeply flawed” Illegal Migration Bill. The second reading of the bill took place in the House of Lords this afternoon and saw the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby make representations as to the immorality of the bill. o ⚓ Atlantic Council ☛ How_the_women_and_girls_of_Iran_have_fueled their_‘unprecedented’_protests:_Bravery,_solidarity,_and innovation⠀⇛ Uncorrected transcript: [...] * § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ o ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Dish_Network_Is_A_Hot_Mess_After_Major_Hack_Attack⠀⇛ Satellite TV provider Dish Network isn’t having much fun. Despite oodles of direct government assistance during the Trump era, the company’s attempt to pivot from mediocre satellite TV provider to modern streaming service and wireless giant has been a hot mess. * § Monopolies⠀➾ o § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Creative Commons ☛ CC_Supports_Trans_Rights [Ed: CC does not understand what CC is for. Maybe it'll also start writing about the Ukraine conflict, Unabomber, 9/11 etc. Then again, this is what happens when orgs like EFF and OSI let a bunch of fools take over and promote some totally unrelated agenda, using the old legitimacy of the original institutions while dividing the support base.]⠀⇛ Recently, we witnessed [1] book bans and educational restrictions on content related to trans rights and experiences, along with other bans of books related to other marginalized identities. These acts of censorship limit public access to important information, perpetuating misinformation, prejudice and discrimination. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Z-Library_Warns_Against_‘Fraudulent’_and ‘Unsafe’_Copycats_With_Millions_of_Users⠀⇛ The Z-Library crackdown and related domain seizures haven’t put an end to the site, but the knock-on effects are causing confusion among the public. The action has fueled the popularity of several copycat sites, some of which have millions of monthly visitors. According to the Z-Library team, these “fraudulent” sites are dangerous and should be avoided. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Twitch-Streaming_Destiny_2_Teen_Cheater Fails_in_Bid_to_Shake_Bungie_Lawsuit⠀⇛ A teenager who live-streamed himself cheating in Destiny 2 while evading multiple bans, has failed in his bid to have a Bungie lawsuit dismissed. The then 17-year-old, who today faces fraud and copyright infringement claims, hit the headlines last year following allegations he threatened Bungie employees, among a series of other alleged offenses. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Fallout_From_Nintendo’s_‘Zelda’_Freak-Out Continues,_Including_Nintendo_Self-Harm⠀⇛ There’s that old saying: the coverup is always worse than the crime. There appears to be something of a corollary to that: the freak-out over a leak is always worse than the leak itself.

There are absolutely zero fiscal problems. In fact the company can pretty much afford anything it might want to do. # § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ RE:_Two_Energy_Crises⠀⇛ Yes and yes! It could maybe be explained by (1) the need to sell more to make more money, or (2) some sort of cross-generational memory of “the harsher times”[^0]. (1) implies each producer/seller must produce a ton to make some money, because producing less than there is demand for would mean profit “loss” — obviously! Because there’s so much stuff available, and because most people still have enough money to survive AND to spend on non-essential things, why spend a little more to get this small luxury/comfort? And after you buy it you won’t let it spoil, right? That would be a waste, right? And by the way… if all this stuff that’s for sale isn’t bought, it’ll spoil too! This way of living is a waste-producing machine. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ am_I_missing_something?_(everything?)⠀⇛ So, I am subbing to blogs on RSS, and I see so many people saying newsletters replaced blogs, with a huge social media presence in- between (for over a decade for me, now a relic of the past (for me)). But, the reason people give as to “why newsletter?” over a social media service is that they don’t like centralized services, like Facebook, Twitter, et al. # ⚓ Meetup⠀⇛ I don’t often meet people that I’ve met online first. Back in the BBS days, whe the online was local, this was more common. One of the large boards had coffees at a local restaurant. Now that was weird as hell: teenagers and young adults and old adults (who I realize now were probably only a few years older than I am now, but were all overweight and smoking [this was pre-smoking- bans] and looked like hell) all getting together and talking and shooting the shit. You could feel the tension between some of them. Who hated who. Who wanted to fuck who. Who already had. # § Programming⠀➾ # ⚓ RE:_The_Trouble_With_IDEs⠀⇛ The first time I tried one I was at a workshop[^0], and they said we needed Visual Studio — wasn’t announced beforehand, I guess they assumed everyone had it installed? And how was it, you ask? I spent half the workshop waiting for the 40GB download to end, a good few tens of minutes installing it, and a good few minutes waiting for it to start up. Finally I was ready to get shit done! Except the workshop was now at the end. Complete waste of my time. I uninstalled the fucking thing right away. Why would anyone want to download an XXXGB program to do something an XMB program can do much better, faster, more reliably, … ? Why would I have to suffer through all this just because some small % of users want(!) a feature I will NEVER need or want?

After all, there are hundreds of Linux distributions and new ones are released regularly. Your FOMO (fear of missing out) kicks in and you go on to try the latest buzz of the Linux town. No matter why you do it, whether you hate it or like it, people make a few mistakes, which makes the experience of distro hopping hellish. What can those be? Let me take you through it… # ⚓ System76 ☛ May_Flowers_Spring_COSMIC_Showers⠀⇛ COSMIC Panels are desktop features similar to the top bar and dock in Pop!_OS except with much more versatility. The panels contain “applets”, or small embedded applications. You can think of “applets” as GNOME extensions to customize an experience, except they’re separate individual applications running in their own process. In COSMIC, applets replace GNOME extensions. COSMIC currently includes essential default applets for things like notifications, workspaces, applications, battery, wifi, bluetooth, and media controls. In the future, applets can be added for a clipboard, notes, weather, custom menus or whatever feature you might imagine. o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ Bryan Lunduke ☛ Serenity_OS_Week_Begins_at_The_Lunduke Journal!⠀⇛ Listen now (9 min) | The Lunduke Journal of Technology Podcast — May 10, 2023 o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Dan Langille ☛ Monitor_your_backups⠀⇛ It’s good to do automated backups.

GNOME, its desktop GUI, has been updated to include the latest features in its GNOME 44, Ubuntu has made improvements to its ability to run games using Steam, and, of course, Ubuntu has updated many other applications, toolchains and subsystems in this release. The two things that really caught my attention were the new desktop installer and its support for Azure Active Directory.

For 80%_of_Americans, that’s exactly what’s happening. Their vote for president isn’t nearly as valuable as the vote of someone in a so-called “swing state.” Why? Most of us live in states that have become so predictably Democratic or Republican that we’re taken for granted by candidates. Presidential elections now turn on the dwindling number of swing states that could go either way, which gives voters in those stateshuge_leverage. The 2020 election came down to just over 40,000 votes spread across just three swing states. 2016 came down to fewer than 80,000 votes also across three states. In those elections, the national popular vote wasn’t that close. In fact, in the last five elections, the winners of the popular vote beat their opponents by an average of 5 million votes. The current state-by-state, electoral college system of electing presidents is creating ever- closer contests in an ever-smaller number of closely divided states for elections that aren’t really that close. Not only that, but these razor-thin swing state margins can invite post-election recounts, audits, and lawsuits — even attempted coups. A losing candidate might be able to overturn 40,000  votes with these techniques. Overturning 5 million votes would be nearly impossible. The current system presents a growing threat to the peaceful transition of power. # ⚓ uni Michigan ☛ U-M_offers_new_misconduct_resources, education_for_faculty,_staff⠀⇛ U-M is offering new prevention education, resources and resolution options for faculty and staff as it builds on its existing foundation for addressing campus sexual and gender-based misconduct. # ⚓ Atlantic Council ☛ Experts_react:_Former_Prime_Minister Imran_Khan’s_arrest_and_implications_for_Pakistan⠀⇛ On March 9, 2023, former Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan was arrested over corruption charges.

In such acts of break or rupture, cultural goods must be permanently filtered out of the present, discarded, and declared irrelevant. This repeated dropping of ballast takes place through a performative “relegation to the past” of that which, up to that point, had continued to exert a claim on the present and so was still considered relevant. A particularly striking rhetorical strategy used to produce such hiatus-experiences within the continuum of time is the repeated declaration of the “death” of every possible cultural institution or value. # ⚓ Mountains⠀⇛ So this was supposed to be a monte carlo Sierpinski triangle generator, but I got distracted somewhere along the way, and the code instead generates somewhat randomly placed mountains.

I was surprised that I liked them as much since I had thought (I wasn’t a crowdfunding backer); her first show (about tropes generally, not just games) was basic and overly 101 and “doesn’t everyone know this?” (Gamergate showed how very, very wrong I was about that, and now I think that show was good since those “101” basic points was not was universally agreed-upon and known as I believed.) =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

I remember that I was at a point where I was looking for new bands and my own friend there at University suggested the band to me. QOTSA are one of the best rock bands out there. When I listen to a band I give a lot of credit to unique song structures, recording sound/techniques and the general vibe of the band. As time progresses it becomes ever the more difficult to innovate in music. So many combinations of melodies, drum beats etc have already been recorded and used, it’s hard not to fall into a trap when writing new music. However, QOTSA almost always delivers something new and fresh. Their music writing style is definitely “Avant-Garde”, they generally use differnt song structures and melodies. The weirder, the better. On top of that, their recording always sound amazing, and is part of their aesthetic. # ⚓ Early_Morning_Adventure_2023-05-12_(Fairbanks,_AK,_USA)⠀⇛ I had a half-baked plan this morning to do some early-morning sunrise photography. Sunrise is now 4:38am and getting earlier each day, so I thought this might be my last practical opportunity. It sounded kind of boring to go back to my other photography spots, but I couldn’t figure out from a map what might be another good spot, in view of the terrian and treelines in this area.

Something I’ve become bad at through practicing the wrong thing (building a habit of failing to read)? Something intrinsic to my brain? Am I just trying to read the wrong things? I don’t know whether it’s a problem or not. I feel very ignorant on a huge number of topics and I feel like perhaps if I read more then I could be less ignorant. On the other hand, there will always be vastly more things I’m ignorant about than things I’m knowledgeable about, so perhaps it’s a silly thing to worry about. o § Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ A_New_Smartphone_After_Four_Months⠀⇛ At the end of December, I purchased a Nokia G21 TA- 1418 to replace my Samsung Galaxy Note8. The Samsung ran well for the most part and performed the tasks I needed, but my current job requires me to install certain MFA tools on my smartphone, and the Note8 was reaching end of support for some of those tools. Of course, the screen also had major burn-in and the battery barely lasted a day on standby, but those were relatively minor concerns for me. I chose the G21 as a replacement phone since it still offered SD- based expandable storage and a 3.5 mm TRS jack: increasingly rare features among US smartphones. # ⚓ The_The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Breath_of_the_Wild_soundtrack_hits different_when_it_comes_on_CDs_instead_of_in_the_game⠀⇛ While Tears of the Kingdom is actually out for me right now, I wanted to wrap up my previous Zelda experience. In the run-up to the TotK release, I watched someone else play BotW with a couple mods enabled. This got me in the mood to play the game myself a little bit again, and I also wondered if I could get the soundtrack. Way back when, when I first got the game, I looked into getting the soundtrack, and decided against. When I looked at the entry on Amazon a bit (maybe years) later, only scraps were available at ridiculous (three-digit) prices. However, when I checked the final time, they were down to normal levels…but they were all imports, and all the printing was in Japanese. I still have access to at least one computer with a CD-ROM drive, so I bought the thing. # § Programming⠀➾ # ⚓ Re:_The_Trouble_With_IDEs⠀⇛ Eclipse, well, there’s a funny story there, some intern started up Eclipse, which promptly made 50 database connections in the test environment, which killed that environment, and I got blamed for it because the DBAs on the other side of the wall thought it was ‘jmates’ who had caused the problem, not the intern ‘jmate’. Why the heck would a unix sysadmin be running Eclipse? I get annoyed when vim has a 30 millisecond startup time. Java? A bloat browser? Fuggedaboutit! Joel Spolsky informs us in 2001 that bloat does not exist. Unix is my IDE. OpenBSD in particular, using a somewhat customized version of the base vi, plus various other tools that I know pretty well and can mostly debug (the man(1) crash was a beyond my skills). That’s an environment. It’s got problems; however, the developers accept my patches (not sure what ever happened to the strptime(3) bug I sent Apple) and make continual improvements to a complex system on a predictable cycle with little in the way of resources. How much do the Googles and Microsofts pull in for profits? Why is their code so often featured in the CVE charts? Let’s review some alternative environments. # ⚓ Async_for_UI_Control_Flow⠀⇛ In Card Story (link at the end), the users can do things like “edit a line of text”, or “create a link from a branch in one card to another card”. Like most user interfaces, some things the users do involve multi-step flows. One of the questions when developing user interface code is how to logically represent this kind of multi-step flow. # ⚓ Riding_the_IDE_threads_wave⠀⇛ Holy moly: managed to sleep until 8:35am, which is way later than I usually arise. Three cheers for the power of some well- placed THC. Unfortunately that puts a real crimp in my internet attention budget for today. Much interesting and playful thoughtfulness down these paths… I’m sure I’m not the first to say this, but vim has long been the only IDE I’ve ever needed. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.
