It’s all about one thing: censorship. Who for? Check the members of the Code of Conduct (CoC) Committee. They’re the cops, not to mention the judge, the witness, and the jury (the phrase is often “judge, jury, executioner”; but they’re also the cops/vigilante on the scene). They’d also process the appeals if any are registered. This is lynching, not a system of justice, and salaries peripheral to the role govern who is punished and what for. Those committees aren’t full- time jobs. They’re for corporate lynch mobs to crucify communities. “What the Linux Foundation does with CoCs is still relevant, albeit buried under Easter holidays (because it’s embarrassing; people file complaints for ‘insulting’ companies)”If the so-called ‘Linux’ Foundation wants not to be seen as a_"Microsoft_proxy" anymore, then the answer is simple: just quit being a Microsoft proxy like the Open Source Initiative (OSI) still is. It should be noted that the OSI never quit being a Microsoft proxy. More time passes and the OSI falls deeper and deeper into Microsoft’s hands, just like the ‘Linux’ Foundation. Friend brings a friend, mole brings another mole. “Shooting the messenger” tactics won’t help when the message is factual and clearly demonstrable, based on hard evidence; for instance, beware trolls saying/ insinuating/alleging that someone is sexist and pro-rape (or choosing moles who are female so that critics may seem sexist) based on no actual evidence. We’ve already seen Microsoft’s dangerous (he claims he’s seeking professional help for that) likely homophobe and closeted_transphobe Matthew Garrett defaming countless_people_online. That’s just_what_he_does. He also sabotages BSD and Linux (along with his Microsoft “online friend”, Microsoft's_serial_child rapist who spent years painting Garrett as a security guru*, which he_clearly wasn’t; he never was**). The targets are quite consistent — notably people who criticised his corporate masters. He’s a white heterosexual male who uses trans people as political props and sex objects of his (many trans people see through his facade and abhor him for that; they told us so in private), hoping that someone deposits a CoC complaint after generating phony scandals to cause uproar — all this just to ‘cancel’ critics and even send_them_to_therapists against_their_will_(blackmailed_into_it_as_a_condition_for_returning_to_their own_project). “CoCs are for selective enforcement,” one person recalls, based on real-life scenarios. “See the_SouthEast_Linux_Fest_analysis from some years ago.” What the Linux_Foundation does with CoCs is still relevant, albeit_buried_under Easter_holidays (because it’s embarrassing; people file complaints for ‘insulting’ companies). █ _____________ * He not only exchanged_over_100_direct_tweets_with_him; he kept promoting Garrett’s monopoly-enforcing sabotage (protecting Microsoft) as ‘security’ — clearly the opposite of what that truly was. Microsoft and its media operatives generally groomed Garrett for over a decade and offered_him_a_job. ** Retroactively he managed to pretend to be a lecturer on this subject because of a lack of background check/verification. He’s not even suitably educated nor trained for security. No Computer Science or Software Engineering background, either. I cannot pretend to be a General Practitioner (GP) and “learn along the way” as I try to treat patients. Then again, as Richard_Stallman_(RMS)_noted earlier_this_month_in_Italy, maybe the goal is to conflate_a_lack_of_security (back/bug doors) with “security”. Qualifications do matter and appointing the wrong people results in planned failure, even cover-up. But if corporations are willing to offer "shortcuts"_to_back_scammers_and_charlatans (pretenders, phonies, imposters), anything is possible. Compensating for an existing role’s inadequacy using a similar past role is a ‘credibility-chaining’ scandal we’ve already seen with Bully de Blanc. Sometimes it boils down to overt nepotism or entryism, even a sexual relationship (we gave examples from Sirius_‘Open Source’). Scrutiny typically results in immense abuse. One common tactic there is trolling and defaming people in their own platform, provoking them constantly for a reply, then asserting they’re being “mean” and/or “impolite”. This one troll has stalked us 24/7 in IRC for several years already, perhaps even doxing my wife and I to our workplace (it’s hard to definitively prove this because his partner is a Tor person; either way, a crime was exposed as a result). *** This was my response to his defamation against me over 2 years ago: Video_download_link http://techrights.org/videos/google-trolls.webm “False accusations are made to distract from the core issues,” an associate has noted, “and deflect onto those raising the issues.” [1, 2]. The associate notes that “credibly accused” nowadays means “social control media death sentence by brigading” (boosted by deep-pocketed corporations with legions of foot soldiers online). The video above starts with the example_of_RMS, though many other examples exist. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 189 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2023/06/20/gemini-grows-june-2023/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2023/06/20/gemini-grows-june-2023/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 06.20.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ The_Collapse_of_Reddit_Helps_Gemini_Grow_and_the_Message_About_Gemini Protocol_Spread⠀✐ Posted in Free/Libre_Software, Protocol at 2:27 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Gemini_in_late_June_2023⦈_ Summary: People who used the Internet before are still on the Internet but not necessarily on the Web; we’ve seen growth_in_the_number_of_Gemini_users (this month has been the best so far) and if more people reject “apps” — not the same as HTTP/S — perhaps we can move technology in a healthier direction FOR those who don’t pay much attention to Internet gossip, Reddit is in trouble and its CEO is spamming people (via E-mail) together with NPR, trying hard to control the narrative/story about what’s happening. Yesterday he_was_linked_to Musk, which is a total disaster. In addition, this past week there were stories such as these: * ⚓ Reddit_Blackouts_Impact_Music_Communities_Online_—_CEO_Not_Backing Down⠀⇛ * ⚓ Reddit_Blackuut:_What,_Why_and_How_It_is_Impacting_Users⠀⇛ * ⚓ Reddit:_users_boycott_to_force_platform_to_scrap_plans_to_charge_for access,_company_won’t_budge⠀⇛ * ⚓ The_Reddit_Protest_Is_a_Battle_for_the_Soul_of_the_Human_Internet⠀⇛ Yesterday in IRC Alexei said, “Both Steve Huffman and Elon Musk must be reaffirmed by Volodymyr Saldo when he was in Nova Kakhovka standing next to a flooded theatre and saying on camera that people are walking, driving and working just fine. Saldo was filmed on June 6th of course.” “Are some more Reddit ‘clones’ on their way? Based on Gemini protocol alone?”From what we can gather, Reddit will never be the same again. Many users, not only moderators (slaves/volunteer staff) left permanently. Some of them ended up in Gemini. They say so themselves. There are some “hello world” posts. Is the collapse of Reddit helping Gemini grow_so_much_faster_this_month? In the first 20 days of June the number of active capsules seen by Lupa rose by about 50, compared to about 400 in the past year combined (i.e. about 33.3 per 30 days). Geminispace already has stuff that’s similar to Reddit, e.g. Geddit, some stuff from acidus (“Ask” seems to be offline at the moment), and more recently BBS, formerly geminispace.org (there’s a controversy behind the name). Here are some screenshots: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇BBC_for_Gemini⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Geddit⦈_ There are more such capsules, some permanent and some temporary/experimental.

is paralysed when people reject journalism, stuck in outage cycles that are manufactured by the rich (averting class issues while billionaires pander to “woke”/”non-woke”, i.e. culture wars and

Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ ‘Linux’_Foundation_Increases_Number_of_Microsoft_Employees_in_the_Board_of Directors_to_THREE,_the_Only_Geek_in_the_Board_Has_Left_(or_Got_Removed)⠀✐ Posted in GNU/Linux, Kernel, Microsoft at 3:56 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz This shown-below ‘page’ — like their Web site in general — also stopped being a Web page; it’s a JavaScript “app” now, instead (they don’t care about accessibility or disabled people, but they say “DEI” a lot): 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Microsoft_increasingly_controlling_Linux_Foundation⦈_ Summary: The Linux_Foundation is gradually becoming a shadow of Microsoft, just like the Open Source Initiative, where most of the money comes from Microsoft and the official blog promotes Microsoft, its proprietary software, and Microsoft’s side in a class action lawsuit over GPL_violations_(with_9_billion dollars_in_damages_at_stake). So it all started with one Board member after the “Microsoft loves Linux” PR charade (money passed to Jim Zemlin, who gives_talks at_Microsoft and is ‘married’ to Microsoft*); then it became two (more money paid for the second seat; the Linux Foundation openly advertises that Board seats are up for sale with upper bound of 2) and now it’s three through the loophole (subsidiary_to_evade_membership_limits_being_exceeded,_just_like_at the_OSI_and_Redmonk). It’s like a completely covert takeover in slow motion and the “AT-LARGE DIRECTOR” is also a Microsoft employee (all 3 are female, so talking about this hostile act of entryism will get baited as being sexist**); Mr. Mason is no longer there, so no geeks or Linux developers left in the Board (it’s just ‘suits’ and corporate actors). As a reminder, Microsoft is also in the Technical_Advisory_Board_of_the_Linux_Foundation and its current_Board members_keep_pushing_for_Linux_to_be_outsourced_to_Microsoft's_GitHub despite being fiercely anti-GPL (the licence of Linux), totally proprietary, and having already had two rounds of layoffs this year [1, 2]. It’s not like Microsoft is even the sole problem in that board***. ____ * The Foundation “is not just a mess but an actively harmful activity,” an associate note, “apparently by Zemlin's_design” (his_wife_is_professionally connected_to_Microsoft and nobody talks about this glaring conflict of interest and even elaborate fraud [1, 2, 3]) ** This could of course be a coincidence rather than a moral shield. *** An associate wanted to moreover “point out that LF [the Foundation] has become an organisation that represents its members’ interests within the kernel rather than actually promoting and advancing Linux in the world.” A few years ago the OSI’s cofounder Bruce Perens, who was also the second Debian Project Leader (the first one, the founder of Debian, was the LF’s first CTO), said that_the_“Linux_Foundation_is_an_infringer's_club.” (Alluding to the GPL) Judging by the companies shown above, the LF is GPL-hostile (it has not chosen this licence for any project for ages) and it ought to be clear that it had become a GPL infringers’ club due to companies that wanted copyleft to die (but could not change the licence of Linux, only pressure Linus Torvalds to reject GPLv3 after a campaign of lobbying). “Many of the board members represent Microsoft partners,” the associate adds, “so the damage from Microsoft is more than just the three moles.”

Posted in Deception, Site_News at 12:45 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Video_download_link | md5sum 0c28463215e56abd1ffb5ea388e4ae20 Straining RSS Feeds Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0 http://techrights.org/videos/chaff-in-the-news-tackled.webm Summary: We’re still developing better tools for finding and clustering/ grouping news from the World Wide Web, seeing that the Web rapidly deteriorates and there’s no way to ameliorate this other than swallowing thousands of RSS feeds, then straining them for the actual signal (meaningful and important news, not hearsay/gossip) THE VIDEO above discusses the deterioration of the media, especially in the signal-to-noise_ratio_sense. We wrote_about_it_yesterday (also_here) because the alarming rate of decline (in signal) means that “harvesting” the important news or curating what actually matters will be getting harder. Even news about GNU/Linux became rather scarce. The video covers some new and old rants about what Phoronix became. In days of slow news there’s even promotion of Microsoft junk, GitHub stuff, and various hardware products which are proprietary and patented, albeit spun as “community”. “The Web is rapidly becoming a junkyard and graveyard. Sites turn into mostly junk or go offline.”Some time next week we hope to do more proper coverage of ways to scan the news, via RSS feeds, with additional annotation that aids discovery, classification and so on. Without a lot of editing and human intervention it’s possible that over 80% of what’s new on the Web can be deemed junk. The Web is rapidly becoming a junkyard and graveyard. Sites turn into mostly junk or go offline. █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 782 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 06.20.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Gemini_Links_20/06/2023:_De-federating_and_Computer_Challenge⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 8:36 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal/Opinions o Technology_and_Free_Software # Internet/Gemini * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ for_jan_wentolin,⠀⇛ It’s funny – even when I’m sitting down to write you a letter like this, I find myself wanting to say the same things I always say to you: that I love you, and I love you, and that your heart is the size of day, and that I love you, saying these words again and again, ibidem, ibidem, until the words are no longer enough. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Why_one_would_use_Qubes_OS?⠀⇛ Hello, I’ve been talking a lot about Qubes OS lately but I never explained why I got hooked to its offer. It’s time to tell why I like it. # ⚓ Scarlet_Heroes_Character_Creation_Thoughts⠀⇛ After looking through a lot of OSR systems, I finally settled on trying out Scarlet Heroes. It looked like it offers the best balance between what I wanted out of a system. For the first game, I am a player, and someone else kind enough to be the GM. It’s going to be a duet game, which Scarlet Heroes is designed for. The first step for me in this is to create a character. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Bubble_v5.0:_Comment_View,_Index_of_Posts,_Time Zones,_Certificate_Recovery⠀⇛ Bubble version 5 introduces several new features. Some improve basic usability and some are smaller things that have been missing from the start. All of these have been informed by the experience of using BBS over the past weeks. # ⚓ Four_years_of_Gemini!⠀⇛ Today is the fourth anniversary of the public announcement of Project Gemini. I promise that nobody, not a soul, is more surprised than I am that an average of one hundred thousand working Gemini URIs have appeared per year since that announcement. I’m more grateful than I can convey that so many people have responded so positively and energetically to the idea of a smaller, simpler, saner online space, and I continue to regularly feel worse than I probably should that I didn’t do a better job of handling that response. # ⚓ Bootstrapping⠀⇛ A few posts ago I wrote that ads on Gemini “could never happen”. # ⚓ New_Feature:_Capsule_Health_Report⠀⇛ For any URLs that do have a problem, you can click on the URL and get a list of the inbound links to that page. Personally I’ve used this fix internal links that are broken, links that I’ve typo-ed by mistake, and even to put redirects in place to correct old, inbound links to pages that have moved. To use it, go to Kennedy, select the Capsule Health Report, and enter the domain name of a capsule. # ⚓ De-federating_P92⠀⇛ Facebook (“Meta”) is launching a Twitter alternative that will interoperate with the Fediverse, currently codenamed “Barcelona” and “P92″ (and likely to be known as “Threads”). We don’t know the extent to which this will or won’t interoperate; admins who’ve met with Facebook/Meta employees to discuss P92 have signed non-disclosure agreements. Most discussion can be framed in two ways: 1. Whether P92 in particular is worth defederating from, should it involve an ActivityPub server. 2. Whether Facebook/Meta projects in principle would be worth proactively blocking, should they attempt to interoperate with a Fediverse instance. I’m going to focus on the latter topic, as we know little about the former. # ⚓ Introductory_Post_and_the_Old_Computer_Challenge⠀⇛ I guess this is the introductory post: the first post on a new blog/gemlog/phlog. Feels daunting… I plan to use this blog over the next while to at least initially talk about Solene’s Old Computer Challenge, which I intend to attempt to participate in this year. # ⚓ Re:_four_years_of_Gemini⠀⇛ He goes on to lament not being more active, but notes that he’s getting back into the space and hopes to build up momentum for some slow and steady progress. I know how he feels! I’ve let Gemini Quickstart decay over the last two years, while the hosting and client landscape has changed all around us. The Android client I recommend on the site hasn’t been available for over a year, and there are several new ones, including the Lagrange port, which is probably the most popular Android client right now. I don’t have any idea what things look like over in iOS and MacOS land these days. There’s no mention of Antenna, Station, Newswaffle, or Bubble, or anything else that’s appeared since then. I’ve started doing a little work on it just to get it ready for making all of the changes it needs, but I’ve got to say, it’s hard out here these days! I have tremendous respect and substantial envy for anyone who’s able to keep up with their side projects. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

He then jokingly said to me, assuming I believed in his religion, “can you believe that some people think something as complex as a human crawled out of the ocean?” I shrugged it off as I did not want to ruin my relationship with this person (we live in a society), but his comment did make me think. [...] When he taught us the leg muscles, he used one particularly funny example that I still remember. One certain muscle near the knee (that I forget the name of) prevents the knee joint’s capsule from getting pinched between the femur and tibia bones when the knee bends. He told us the story of how when god, nature, and the space aliens all got together to design the lower extremities, they had problems with their prototype caveman pinching the knee capsule every time he tried to walk. Luckily, baby Jesus came along on his tricycle and suggested that a muscle pull the capsule away from the bones just before they bend, making it so that the caveman could walk just fine. # ⚓ Top_Gun:_Maverick⠀⇛ Finally got around to finishing Top Gun: Maverick tonight. Rented it from the library a couple weeks ago, but hadn’t gotten around to it until now. Definitely a fun movie, the action scenes were super well done! Love that the “enemy territory” was in a snowy, mountainous region, made for some great visuals. The dogfights were great, had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. # ⚓ Little_meadow⠀⇛ When I moved in there was grass behind the house, a little, inhospitible backyard past the sandpapery square of concrete patio. Looking out the back door there’s the sun-blasted patio, some grass, swampy yard, then the hill up to the cemetary scrubby with thicket and young trees. I dug a bed for mint along the house’s back wall up to the patio, another bed out from it that supports a healthy horseradish where Evy grew gourds. Other plants didn’t do well there til this year when I planted onions. Evy’s parents brought their old painted iron yard table and chairs. # ⚓ 🔤SpellBinding:_CERSTUY_Wordo:_MEATY⠀⇛ o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Using_git_bundle_to_synchronize_a_repository_between_Qubes OS_dom0_and_an_AppVM⠀⇛ In a previous article, I explained how to use Fossil version control system to version the files you may write in dom0 and sync them against a remote repository. # ⚓ Asus_L410MA_lid_screen_issue_with_XFCE4_on_Debian_12⠀⇛ Despite being cheap I decided to buy another Asus laptop from the same family for my little one, also this laptop was purchased as second-hand hardware, even because I was convinced to have definitely resolved all the issues, in the previous tests eventually Devuan worked better than Debian. # ⚓ Asus_L410MA_lid_screen_issue_with_XFCE4_on_Debian_12⠀⇛ # ⚓ Framework_Laptop,_one_year_on⠀⇛ This laptop was meant to be an auxiliary laptop, for writing on the couch. I’m an Apple main user, and knowing macOS has helped my career. But I’m also very pro Right to Repair, and those two things are butting heads right now. So the Framework laptop seemed like the obvious choice, being Very Repairable. # ⚓ Re:_Richard_Stallman⠀⇛ After reading Ploum’s recent post about how Richard Stallman was right all along, I have to say that I agree with his take. [...] This might seem odd coming from someone who just posted about how sick he was of Linux and was moving back to FreeBSD. If only all of my choices were easily explainable in life. I’ve found myself as I get older actually becoming more “radicalized” than I was in my 20′s and 30′s. I definitely feel like society lost it’s way a long time ago. One of the things that I like most about Ploum’s post is that he recognizes the larger parallels between society’s ills and free/libre vs proprietary software. Everywhere you look these days you see that what used to be held in common trust is being carved up and divided among those who don’t really need any more. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Gemini’s_Fourth_Anniversary⠀⇛ The Gemini protocol was first publicly announced under the name “Gemini” on this day in 2019. solderpunk considers this to the official start date of the protocol, meaning today is its fourth anniversary. From my earliest days on Gemini, I knew the protocol dated back to 2019, but last night I got to thinking about what that really means. I first explored Gemini and decided to create my own capsule in March of 2021. By then, COVID-19 had been ravaging the world for more than a year. Many businesses were still shuttered, many areas were still in full lockdown, and most people still practiced social distancing. We were forced to carry out most of our communication through social media and other online platforms controlled by corporate interests. The Reddit post became our only source of news, the Netflix subscription our only form of entertainment. And in that isolated environment, political and social tensions spilled over, fresh on the heels of the George Floyd protests and riots on one side and the contentious US Presidential election and January 6 protests and riots on the other. # § Literature⠀➾ # ⚓ Re:_The_Library_Rocks!⠀⇛ Alex wrote an excellent quick post about using local libraries. It reminded me of when my mother used to take me and my brother to the library almost every day as a child; they really are excellent places with incredible services. As Alex wrote about the physical benefits and services of libraries, I thought I should share some of the digital ones. I agree that going to a library can be an amazing experience, but it is also useful to know how to get the most out of yours when you can’t go there in person. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

An old friend joins us to explain where the two overlap. Special Guest: Noah Chelliah. o § Kernel Space⠀➾ # ⚓ Richard_W.M._Jones:_Follow_up_to_“I_booted_Linux_292,612 times”⠀⇛ Well that blew up. It was supposed to be just a silly_off-the-cuff_comment about how some bugs are very tedious to bisect. To answer a few questions people had, here’s what actually happened. As they say, don’t believe everything you read in the press. [...] At that point I thought I had the right commit, but Paolo Bonzini suggested to me that I boot the kernel in parallel, in a loop, for 24 hours at the point immediately before the commit, to try to show that there was no latent issue in the kernel before. (As it turns out while this is a good idea, this analysis is subtly flawed as we’ll see). So I did just that. After 21 hours I got bored (plus this is using a lot of electricity and generating huge amounts of heat, and we’re in the middle of a heatwave here in the UK). I killed the test after 292,612 successful boots. I had a commit that looked suspicious, but what to do now? I posted my findings on LKML. We still didn’t fully understand how to trigger the hang, except it was annoying and rare, seemed to happen with different frequencies on AMD and Intel, could be reproduced by several independent people, but crucially kernel developer Peter Zijlstra could not reproduce it. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Links ☛ Easy_Effects_–_enhance_your_audio⠀⇛ If you find your home computer setup needs an EQ, Easy Effects might just be the ticket. Easy Effects is GTK4 audio manipulation software which includes a range of tools. Besides an EQ, there are many other tools incorporated including a limiter, compressor, and a reverberation tool. There’s a built-in spectrum analyzer too. It’s free and open source software. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_set_up_MongoDB_Atlas_on_OpenShift⠀⇛ MongoDB offers different operator types to utilize MongoDB with Red_Hat_OpenShift. MongoDB provides two certified operator products, MongoDB Enterprise Operator and MongoDB Atlas Operator. This article will cover how to set up and configure MongoDB Atlas on OpenShift. # ⚓ OMG!

The highly anticipated Cinnamon 5.8 desktop environment was released just a few days ago. # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Write.as ☛ Unifying_the_KRunner_sorting_mechanisms for_Plasma6_&_further_plans⠀⇛ In Plasma5, we had different sorting implementations for KRunner and Kicker. This had historical reasons, because Kicker only used a subset of the available KRunner plugins. Due to the increased reliability, we decided to allow all available plugins to be loaded. However, the model still hard-coded the order in which the categories are displayed. This was reported in this bug which received numerous duplicates. To address this concern, I focused on refactoring and cleaning up KRunner as part of KDE Frameworks 6. Among the significant architectural changes was the integration of KRunner’s model responsible for sorting into the KRunner framework itself. This integration enabled easier code sharing and simplified code maintenance. Consequently, the custom sorting logic previously present in Kicker could be removed. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Gentoo Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Gentoo ☛ Bonding_period_1_–_Modernization_of_Portage⠀⇛ § Bonding period 1 – Modernization of Portage Hello everyone, I am Berin Aniesh, one of the four contributors for Gentoo through GSOC 2023. You can read more about us here. In this post, I want to talk about the project I am working on and the first two  weeks of the community bonding period § Title and Project Scope The title of the project is “Modernization of portage codebase by refactoring and rewriting performance critical parts as C++ extensions”. Portage is probably the most versatile package manager on the planet and this has been its boon and bane at the same time This versatility combined with portage’s feature richness has made it possible for not only gentoo users, but projects like chromium OS, Flatcar container linux, a numerous downstream projects and many more. In linux, it can support any underlying stack (eg. glibc vs musl, hardened systems, systemd vs openrc, etc). Other than linux, it can also run on BSD and MacOS. It supports compile time feature selection throughUSE flags. Taking all these factors into  account, together with the fact that portage supports numerous architectures, seeing portage  perform its duties as it was designed to is a huge feat of engineering. And above all, everything of  portage is written by passionate volunteers. If anything, understanding the landscape of gentoo has  brought me huge respect towards the gentoo developers and the community. # ⚓ Gentoo ☛ Week_3_–_Modernization_of_Portage⠀⇛ § Week 3 – Modernization of Portage It is the third week of the coding period. It is mostly an uneventful week. Most part was spent on  trying to understand the dependency resolution algorithm. In the second part of the week I also did  some refactoring and some type hints. § Update on the blog posts I lost my password to access this blog and also had troubles resetting the password. That is why I  have not been able to post per week. With help from BlueKnight, I got my access back. So, I am dumping the blog posts I have written, all at once. From next week, I expect posts to be at regular intervals (one per week). Sorry about the bulk posting, hope you don’t mind. # ⚓ Gentoo ☛ Week_1_–_Modernization_of_Portage⠀⇛ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Week 1 – Modernization of Portage⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ ✐ Coding period starts⠀✐ So, it’s the first week of the official coding period and I wanted to write some code and get it  merged into the master branch (I understand it’s a bit over ambitious of me, but a man can wish).  As I said in the first blog post, portage is relied up on by many people for different use cases and if  something were a simple fix, the gentoo developers would have done it already. I just can’t storm in and make changes, expect things to work. So, we tried to find a place which has very little impact on the portage’s running and ended up at emerge --version. # ⚓ Gentoo ☛ Bonding_Period_2_–_Modernization_of_Portage⠀⇛ § Bonding Period 2 – Modernization of Portage § Context In order to get familiar with the portage codebase, we decided that I’d fix a few bugs. This blog post talks about the second half of the community bonding period (weeks 3 and 4) where I try to do that. § Bugs, bugs and more bugs When it comes to bugs, the paradox of choice is real. To choose from, there is a heap of them (1439 at the moment of writing). Most of the bugs are quality of life improvements as the portage team  has put in a lot of effort to make sure portage does it’s jobs without many errors. After searching, we decided to work on bug 634576. # ⚓ Gentoo ☛ Week_2_–_Modernization_of_Portage⠀⇛ § Week 2 – Modernization of Portage It is the second week of coding period and it has been a productive one. It started according to the  plans and diverged in the second half for the good. The first half was towards type annotation and the second half was dummy_threading deprecation. § Type annotation In the words of Sam, my mentor, “I’d considere a GSOC project complete if some 50% of the  codebase is just type annotated”. Many portage developers were excited when we were talking  about adding type hints and docstrings. Adding type hints and tidying up the codebase will also give me more exposure to the underlying functions. So, we decided, this week I’ll do type annotations. § Deciding on the type hints style Python 3.9 adds a simpler “native” style type annotation, but portage has a minimum supported python version of 3.7. # ⚓ Gentoo ☛ Week_3_report_on_porting_Gentoo_packages_to_modern C⠀⇛ Hello all, I’m here with my week 3 report for Modern C porting of Gentoo’s packages. For this week I diverted from my initial idea a bit and focused on the “C++17 does not allow register storage class specific” type error. Basically, C++14 deprecated the register storage class and it has been completely removed in C++17, thus resulting in C++ packages that use register keywords with this kind of error. A general fix is it either removes the keywords or replaces them with *int* where applicable. For example, in this PR [1] for the fox toolkit, I’m using sed to remove register keywords from various folders of the source. Whenever possible I’m sending patches upstream as well, for example, I’ve sent this [2] patch upstream while also applying it Gentoo tree. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Debugging_in_GDB:_Create_custom_stack_winders⠀⇛ In this article, we will walk through the process of creating a custom stack unwinder for the GNU Project Debugger (GDB) using GDB’s Python API. We’ll first explore when writing such an unwinder might be necessary, then create a small example application that demonstrates a need for a custom unwinder before finally writing a custom unwinder for our application inside the debugger. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll be able to use our custom stack unwinder to allow GDB to create a full backtrace for our application. § What is an unwinder? An unwinder is how GDB figures out the call stack of an inferior, for example, GDB’s backtrace command: [...] # ⚓ Red Hat ☛ My_advice_for_designing_features_for_the_hybrid cloud⠀⇛ Hybrid clouds are mixed computing environments that allow applications to use a combination of compute, networking, storage, and services in public clouds and private clouds, including clouds running on- premise or at a plethora of edge locations. To accomplish this, hybrid cloud platforms must be designed to expose the best of the public clouds they support and present the advantages of private clouds while presenting a cohesive interface to the application developer—and preferably the cloud admin, too. A cloud admin can install a cloud instance called a cluster, consisting of a control plane (at least one instance) to manage the cluster and multiple compute instances that run applications on them. In the rest of this article, “developer” specifically refers to a hybrid cloud platform developer, not an application developer.  As a developer working on OpenShift, Red Hat’s hybrid cloud platform, I have found that designing features around a few key tenets ensures the cohesiveness that hybrid cloud platforms wish to achieve. # ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Fine-tune_large_language_models_using_OpenShift Data_Science⠀⇛ As an Ansible_Lightspeed engineer, my team works on the cloud service that interacts with Watson_Code Assistant large language models for Ansible task generation. Curious to learn more about the mechanics of training such a model, I set out to create my own, very basic Ansible tasks model. I decided to do this using Red_Hat_OpenShift_Data Science, which made it easy to configure and launch an environment pre-configured with everything I needed to train my model. I’ll walk through the steps I took here. o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Microsoft_shill_C.J._Collier:_First_taste_of_Debian_12⠀⇛ As some of you may know, the Debian project released v12, bookworm to stable on the 10th of this month. I haven’t had a reason to try it yet, but I’m downloading it now. My first thought is that it’s much larger than I expected. The normal sized version used to fit on a CD-ROM disk, so around 650MB. The netinst has until now been even smaller, with the most recent versions being about 256MB if I recall correctly. The netinst, now with proprietary firmware, weighs in over 700MB: [...] o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ Linux_Mint_21.2_Beta_Is_Now_Available_for Download_with_Cinnamon_5.8⠀⇛ Dubbed “Victoria”, Linux Mint 21.2 is the third installment in the Linux Mint 21 series, which is based on Canonical’s long-term supported Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) operating system series and powered by Linux kernel 5.15 LTS. Linux Mint 21.2 Beta is available in three editions with the Cinnamon 5.8, Xfce 4.18, and MATE 1.26 desktop environments preinstalled. As expected, the Cinnamon edition remains the flagship and it brings the most interesting changes and new features. # ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_22.04_Fixes_Window_Snapping_Memory Bug⠀⇛ >Users of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS who make use of window snapping to enhance their productivity will be interested in a bug fixes coming down the update pipes shortly. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Rockchip-based_SBC_runs_on_Android_12⠀⇛ As shown above, the carrier board includes a Mini PCIe socket with a Nano SIM card port enabling the use of a 4G LTE modem for cellular connectivity. The HDMI 2.1 port offers support for up to 8K resolution at 60 frames per second (8Kp60). On the other hand, the MIPI DSI interface provides support for up to 4K resolution at 60 frames per second (4Kp60) through a 26-pin header. For audio, the SBC features a 3.5mm audio jack and supports 8-channel audio output via HDMI. The Software section located on the Idea3588S product page indicates that Boardcon will provide software support for Android 12 (i.e. Kernel, Drivers, Debug tools, etc.). o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ Raspberry_Pi_Two-Wheeled_Bot_Self-Balances Using_AI⠀⇛ Luwu Dynamics is working on a Raspberry Pi CM4- powered robot that uses two wheels to locomote capable of self-balancing. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_Simple_Guide_To_Bit_Banged_I2C_On_The_6502⠀⇛ We covered [Anders Nielsen]’s 65duino project a short while ago, and now he’s back with an update video showing some more details of bit-banging I2C using plain old 6502 assembly language. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Marvin_Minsky’s_2500_Logo_Computer⠀⇛ [Prof. Marvin Minsky] is a very well-known figure in the field of computing, having co-founded the MIT AI lab, published extensively on AI and computational intelligence, and, let’s not forget, inventing the confocal microscope and, of course, the useless machine. But did you know he also was a co-developer of the first Logo “turtle,” and developed a computer intended to run Logo applications in an educational environment? After dredging some PDP-10 tapes owned by the MIT Media Lab, the original schematics for his machine, the Turtle Terminal TT2500 (a reference to the target price of $2500, in 1970 terms), are now available for you to examine. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o ⚓ Gaël_Duval:_Declaration_of_Duties_of_Man_and_Citizen.⠀⇛ Let’s work together for a better world? Introducing the Declaration of Duties of Man and Citizen, a complementary document to the Declaration of Human Rights, emphasizing our responsibilities and obligations. > o ⚓ Drew DeVault ☛ Reforming_the_free_software_message⠀⇛ Several weeks ago, I wrote The Free Software Foundation is dying, wherein I enumerated a number of problems with the Free Software Foundation. Some of my criticisms focused on the message: fsf.org and gnu.org together suffer from no small degree of incomprehensibility and inaccessibility which makes it difficult for new participants to learn about the movement and apply it in practice to their own projects. This is something which is relatively easily fixed! I have a background in writing documentation and a thorough understanding of free software philosophy and practice. Enter writefreesoftware.org: a comprehensive introduction to free software philosophy and implementation. o ⚓ LWN ☛ DeVault:_Reforming_the_free_software_message⠀⇛ Drew DeVault has announced the launch of a new web site that is intended to be a better introduction to the free- software community. o ⚓ LibreBoot ☛ Libreboot_–_No-microcode_ROMs_available_in_next Libreboot_release_(new_stable_release_soon!)⠀⇛ o ⚓ Medevel ☛ 10_Open-source_Free-to-use_Telegram_Bots_For Developers⠀⇛ As of January 2021, Telegram has more than 500 million active users worldwide. It is an instant messaging app that is widely used due to its various features. These include the ability to create bots, which are programs that can carry out various tasks within the Telegram app. What are o § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ # § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Five_ways_we_can_make_LibreOffice_and_Thunderbird work_better_together⠀⇛ LibreOffice doesn’t include an email program, but there are many excellent free and open source software clients that work well alongside it. One prominent example is Mozilla Thunderbird – a sister project to the Firefox web browser. We know that many people use LibreOffice and Thunderbird as part of their daily workflows – so how can we make them work better together? We reached out on social media to hear from our users – on Mastodon and Twitter (and the Thunderbird project posted on their Mastodon and Twitter accounts too). o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Too_Much_Git?_Try_Gitless⠀⇛ Git has been a powerful tool for software development and version control since the mid ’00s, gaining widespread popularity since then. Originally built by none other than Linus Torvalds for handling Linux kernel development, it’s branched out for use with all kinds of other projects. That being said, it is not the easiest thing to learn how to use, with tons of options, abstract ideas, and non-linear workflows to keep track of. So if you’re new to the system or don’t need all of its vast swath of features, you might want to try out an alternative like Gitless. # ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_spdl_0.0.5_on_CRAN: Small_Extension⠀⇛ Another quick update to the still somewhat new package spdl is now om CRAN, and will go to Debian soon too. The key focus of spdl is to offer the exact same interface to logging from both R and C++ by relying on spdlog via my RcppSpdlog package. Usage examples are shown on the RcppSpdlog_docs This release add support for the wrappers init() and log() wrapping the existing setup() function but requiring only the level argument. This requires version 0.0.13 of RcppSpdlog which was released to CRAN yesterday. # § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ Trend Oceans ☛ How_to_Solve_Zipimport.ZipImportError: Can’t_Decompress_Data;_Zlib_Not_Available⠀⇛ Here_you_will_find_the_steps_to_install_the Zlib_library_on_your_system_to_resolve zipimport.zipImportError:_can’t_decompress data;_zlib_not_available. # ⚓ Gentoo ☛ Problems_faced_when_downstream_testing Python_packages⠀⇛ Downstream testing refers to the testing of software package done by their redistributors, such as Linux distributions. It could be done by distro-specific CI systems, package maintainers or — as it frequently is the case with Gentoo — even distribution users. What makes downstream testing really useful is that it serves a different purpose than upstream testing does. To put it shortly, upstream testing aims to ensure that the current code of the package works in one or more reference environments, and meets quality standards set by the package authors. On the other hand, downstream testing aims to ensure that a particular version of the package (possibly an old one) works in the environment that it will be used on, or one that closely resembles it. To put it another way, downstream testing may differ from upstreaming testing by: # testing a different (possibly old) package version # using a diferent (possibly newer) Python version # ⚓ Rlang ☛ Leveraging_generic_type_hints_of_classes_in Python⠀⇛ Python, a versatile and dynamically-typed language, gained significant enhancements with the introduction of type hinting in Python 3.5. # ⚓ SANS ☛ Brute-Force_ZIP_Password_Cracking_with zipdump.py,_(Sun,_Jun_18th)⠀⇛ * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ MP_denies_quid_pro_quo_over_COVID-19 jab_for_donor⠀⇛ Liberal MP Warren Entsch has rejected claims he organised for a wealthy donor to jump the queue for a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, saying he has been “grievously” misrepresented. Health Minister Mark Butler raised the claims during Question Time and Mr Entsch requested the chance to respond from the Speaker. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ A_growing_problem:_South_Korea’s obsession_with_height_and_hormones⠀⇛ In the span of a hundred years, South Korean women grew by 20.2cm – the largest jump in the world. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ You_Inhale_a_Credit_Card_of_Plastic_Every Week._Here’s_Where_It_Goes.⠀⇛ What is this doing to us? # ⚓ RFERL ☛ At_Least_14_Dead_In_Iran_After_Drinking_Bootleg Alcohol⠀⇛ At least 14 people have died in Iran after after drinking bootleg alcohol in the northern Iranian province of Alborz. o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ Jon Udell ☛ Why_LLM-assisted_table_transformation_is_a_big deal⠀⇛ Last week I had to convert a table in a Google Doc to a JSON structure that will render as an HTML page. This is the sort of mundane task that burns staggering amounts of information workers’ time, effort, and attention. Until recently there were two ways to do it. o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Microsoft_claims_Azure,_Outlook_June_outages_due to_DDoS_attacks [Ed: Microsoft deflection. Windows botnets hammering on Microsoft, Microsoft blames... Microsoft?]⠀⇛ “Microsoft quietly snuck out a blog on Friday night admitting Azure and Microsoft 365 have been under DDoS for weeks – previously they had been calling it ‘technical issues’. “They then didn’t put out the blog on their social channels, nor name Azure or M365,” added Beaumont, who has worked for Microsoft in the past. # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Microsoft_discloses_detailed_analysis_of Layer_7_DDoS_attacks [Ed: Helping Microsoft lie and deflect blame]⠀⇛ # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Microsoft_Says_Early_June_Disruptions_to Outlook,_Cloud_Platform,_Were_Cyberattacks [Ed: Nol, stop printing lies from the liars of Microsoft.

The number of new Linux malware variants reached a record high in the first half of 2022, as nearly 1.7 million samples were discovered. # ⚓ The Strategist ☛ Policy,_Guns_and_Money:_Cybersecurity_and critical_infrastructure⠀⇛ In this episode, ASPI’s Alex Caples speaks with Hamish Hansford, who was recently appointed deputy secretary of cyber and infrastructure security at the Department of Home Affairs. # ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Monday_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by Debian (golang-go.crypto, maradns, requests, sofia-sip, and xmltooling), Fedora (chromium, iaito, iniparser, libX11, matrix-synapse, radare2, and thunderbird), Red Hat (c-ares, jenkins and jenkins- 2-plugins, and texlive), SUSE (bluez, chromium, go1.19, go1.20, jetty-minimal, kernel, kubernetes1.18, kubernetes1.23, kubernetes1.24, libX11, open-vm-tools, openvswitch3, opera, syncthing, and xen), and Ubuntu (libcap2, libpod, linux, linux-aws, linux-aws-5.15, linux-azure, linux-azure-5.15, linux-azure-fde-5.15, linux-gcp, linux-gcp-5.15, linux-gke, linux-gke-5.15, linux- gkeop, linux-hwe-5.15, linux-ibm, linux-kvm, linux- lowlatency, linux-lowlatency-hwe-5.15, linux- oracle, linux-oracle-5.15, linux-raspi, linux, linux-aws, linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-hwe-5.19, linux-kvm, linux-lowlatency, linux-oracle, linux- raspi, linux, linux-aws, linux-lowlatency, linux- raspi, linux-oem-5.17, linux-oem-6.1, pypdf2, and qemu). # ⚓ Data Breaches ☛ A_question_for_OnniForums_(UPDATED)⠀⇛ But when I clicked “Post reply,” I learned that I was Banned. It was my very first reply and I had no other posts. I was banned, it seems, for “Spam” and the ban will never be lifted. I was banned for asking a serious question? Is OnniForums so lame that they are unwilling to explain their actions? That’s a shame. Or was the ban just a mistake or accident? I hope the latter is the explanation. # ⚓ Data Breaches ☛ Former_RAIDforums_member_“DataBox” sentenced_to_prison⠀⇛ A former member of RAIDForums was sentenced to prison today by an Amsterdam court.

That happened again Friday when he ended a speech on gun violence with “God save the queen, man.” # Even Olivia Dalton, the White House’s principal deputy press secretary, didn’t know what her boss meant. When journalists asked, she replied only that he “was commenting to someone in the crowd.” =================================================== # Later, the White House didn’t respond when Axios asked what Biden had meant. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Support_for_Japan_PM_Kishida’s_Cabinet slumps:_Media_poll⠀⇛ Approval for the Kishida government had been on the upswing in the run-up to the G7 meeting. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Protest_song_‘Glory_to_Hong_Kong’ reappears_on_Spotify,_as_gov’t_seeks_blanket_ban⠀⇛ Pro-democracy protest anthem Glory to Hong Kong has reappeared on streaming platforms KKBox and Spotify, days after the latter told HKFP that it had been removed by the distributor. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Chris_Hedges:_The_Imminent_Extradition_of Julian_Assange_and_the_Death_of_Journalism⠀⇛ Julian Assange’s legal options have nearly run out.

The tool works automatically to capture and reuse resolutions of past conflicts, making it easier and faster for developers to address merge conflicts in the future. # ⚓ Forcing_a_Merge_Commit_in_Git:_When_and_How⠀⇛ Conflicts can arise when two or more team members make changes to the same line(s) of code within one file in different ways that cannot be automatically merged by Git. Force merging in this case results in combining both sets of changes into one final version with conflicts resolved manually # ⚓ Working_with_Remote_Branches_in_Git:_A_Comprehensive Guide⠀⇛ Working with remote branches in Git is an essential aspect of modern software development. With proper guidance and best practices in place, teams can collaborate effectively on shared projects, regardless of their physical location. # ⚓ Git_Configuration:_A_Few_Useful_Examples⠀⇛ Git configuration allows users to customize their version control environment according to their preferences and needs. By configuring Git, users can set up essential information such as their name and email address to keep track of who made specific changes in the repository. # ⚓ Understanding_Refspecs:_Git_Demystified⠀⇛ A good understanding of RefSpecs will enable you to use Git’s features efficiently while minimizing errors that could cause setbacks in your project development life cycle.

By learning about branching, merging, and options in Git, you can work collaboratively with other developers while keeping your project organized. # ⚓ Efficient_Management_of_Local_Branches_in_Git⠀⇛ In Git, a branch is essentially a copy of the codebase, which allows developers to make changes in isolation from the main codebase. A local branch is a branch that exists only on your local machine and not on the remote repository. # ⚓ Daniel Lange ☛ Daniel_Lange:_Linux_kernel_USB_errors_-71 and_-110⠀⇛ After an upgrade of my PC’s mainboard BIOS the boot would take a minute or more to complete and sometimes the lightdm login screen would sit there but not accept keyboard input for another minute or so. Then the keyboard got enabled and I could log in normally. Everything worked fine after that bootup struggle completed. This was fully reproducible and persisted across reboots. Weird. The kernel dmesg log showed entries that looked suspicious: [...] # ⚓ Trend Oceans ☛ How_to_Fix_Rust_Error_Linker_CC_Not_Found_on Linux⠀⇛ Did you just encounter a “Linker ‘cc’ not found” error while installing your favourite Rust program from Cargo Package Manager if yes then let me show you how to fix it up. # ⚓ Trend Oceans ☛ How_to_Install_the_Boost_Library_in_C++_on Ubuntu_or_any_other_Linux_Distribution⠀⇛ Here we will show you two simple steps to install the Boost library in C++ on Ubuntu/Linux, along with an example of using the Boost library.

It’s Chess but perhaps nothing like what you know it to be. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ DevilutionX_continues_improving_classic Diablo_and_Hellfire⠀⇛ A fan of the classics? DevilutionX is a modern game engine for running Diablo and Hellfire on various systems and a big new update has rolled out. This is a community-made thing, not endorsed by Blizzard. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Save_your_owner_as_a_space-pup_in_shoot_‘em up_ProtoCorgi⠀⇛ ProtoCorgi is a shoot ‘em up with a difference. You’re not a spaceship, you’re not even a person, you’re a dog on a quest to save their owner. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ GOG_giving_away_classic_RPG_Eschalon:_Book II_–_plus_Yakuza_series_now_on_GOG⠀⇛ Ready for another free game? The GOG Summer Sale 2023 continues with their third giveaway being the RPG classic Eschalon: Book II.

A little while before that, forum member Maybe submitted Russian ru translations. o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ Data Swamp ☛ Using_git_bundle_to_synchronize_a_repository between_Qubes_OS_dom0_and_an_AppVM⠀⇛ In a previous article, I explained how to use Fossil version control system to version the files you may write in dom0 and sync them against a remote repository. I figured how to synchronize a git repository between an AppVM and dom0, then from the AppVM it can be synchronized remotely if you want. This can be done using the git feature named bundle, which bundle git artifacts into a single file. o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ openSUSE.Asia_Summit_2023_Call_For_Papers⠀⇛ It is a pleasure to announce the call for papers for openSUSE.Asia summit 2023 starting today, the openSUSE.Asia Committee is looking for speakers from different avenues of life, representing and advocating Free and Open Source Software. openSUSE.Asia Summits are organized every year to promote the use of free and open source software and have been appreciated events for the openSUSE community (i.e. both contributors and users) in Asia.

Grow Your Project Workshop, Free BSD Workshop, AArch64/ARM64 Servers and Open Source, FOSS For Education, XMPP. o § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ # ⚓ Chris Coyier ☛ Why_don’t_sites_go_down_much_anymore?⠀⇛ Websites used to go down with more regularity than they do now. Twitter famously had the fail whale. But I mean more like “normal” websites, like this one. If Daring Fireball linked to a site and it went down, that community called it getting “Fireballed” and there was exotic solutions. If Slashdot traffic took down a site it was “slashdotted”. There was the “Digg Effect” and “Reddit Effect” and the like. You don’t really see that anymore. Why? # ⚓ Talospace ☛ Firefox_114_on_POWER⠀⇛ Firefox 114 is released. The biggest update in my humble opinion is that (assuming you’re running Linux) you can now use FIDO2/WebAuthn authenticators over USB, and virtually all of them should “just work” with OpenPOWER hardware. I’m going to try this out and report back but cursorily looking at the source code I don’t see any reason why it would be incompatible. If you bought your POWER9 for security purposes, or even if you just like being secure-adjacent, here’s another advance to take advantage of. A more nebulous new feature in 114 is support for WebTransport, which adds low- latency datagram-grade server communication and should facilitate more interactive applications but will probably just be another way for sites to spy on you. Oh well! This initial cut requires HTTP/ 3 but HTTP/2 support is coming. # § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Thunderbird ☛ Community_Voice:_5_Ways_To_Make Thunderbird_and_LibreOffice_Better_Together⠀⇛ Thunderbird doesn’t come bundled with a great suite of office productivity software, but there are many excellent free and open source applications that work well alongside it. One fantastic example is LibreOffice from The Document Foundation. And just like Thunderbird, it’s open source and multiplatform, available on Linux, macOS, and Windows. o § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ # ⚓ [Repeat] Carl Schwan ☛ My_generic_Open_Source_Project_FAQ⠀⇛ People are often asking the same questions again and again about some of my projects, so it might be a good opportunity to write a small FAQ. If you get redirected here, don’t take it personally; I am getting asked these questions very often, and I feel people often misunderstand how open-source projects work. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Whose_line_is_it_anyway,_GitHub? Innovation,_not_litigation,_should_answer⠀⇛ Perhaps it’s the way it does it, presenting the code suggestions out of context. There are lots of open source licenses, after all, and some may contain conditions that our happy Copilot cut and paster should know about. Well, assuming Copilot can recognize when it’s suggesting someone else’s code, it’s not unreasonable that it can report the licensing conditions it’s offered under. That puts the onus on the coder to comply, which is more ethical than offering up temptation while hiding the consequences. Might even improve the hit rate for following open source rules. o § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ # ⚓ Bert Hubert ☛ Welcome_to_the_BAG:_The_Dutch_Building_and Addresses_database⠀⇛ Recently I wrote a dedicated open source tool called bagconv for this purpose which also papers over some semantics of the BAG that are easy to get wrong. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Phil Eaton ☛ Metaprogramming_in_Zig_and_parsing_CSS⠀⇛ I knew Zig supported some sort of reflection on types. But I had been confused about how to use it. What’s the difference between @typeInfo and @TypeOf? I ignored this aspect of Zig until a problem came up at work where reflection made sense. The situation was parsing and storing parsed fields in a struct. Each field name that is parsed should match up to a struct field. # ⚓ Matt Rickard ☛ Merge_Queues⠀⇛ A CI workflow starts when a developer pushes a proposed change (pull request, changeset, patch, etc.). The code goes through a cycle of reviews and testing until it passes automated and manual (i.e., review) tests. Then it gets merged into the main branch. But it’s not that simple, and there are numerous places where this can go wrong (and ways to make it more efficient). # ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Failing_to_draw_lines_between ‘script’_and_‘program’⠀⇛ I’m not sure I fully believe what I posted any more, or even that I can clearly draw a distinction between ‘script’ and ‘program’ that feels right and is useful in practice. Personally, I think that all compiled things are programs, not scripts, and I probably call all of my Python code, even small ones, a ‘program’. Is Linux’s DKMS, famously written as several thousand lines of Bourne shell, a ‘program’ or a ‘script’? I don’t know. I’ve probably called it both at various times, but then some of the times I’ve called it a script I’ve probably meant that as short for ‘a Bourne shell script’, ie I was talking about the implementation language. # ⚓ MaskRay ☛ Port_LLVM_XRay_to_Apple_systems⠀⇛ I do not use Apple products, but I sometimes like investigating Mach-O as an object file format and my llvm-project changes sometimes need to work around the quirks. LLVM has a function call tracing system called XRay. It supports many architectures on Linux and some BSDs but does not support Apple systems. If the target triple is x86_64-apple-darwin*, you may notice that Clang will allow you to perform compilation, but linking will fail. For other architectures, Clang will reject it. # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ Raspberry_Pi_Tracks_Flights_and_Weather_in One_Convenient_Project⠀⇛ In this project, C0wsaysmoo is using a Raspberry Pi 3 A+ but there’s no reason you couldn’t use something smaller like a Raspberry Pi Zero or even bigger like the latest Raspberry Pi 4. It’s connected to a 64 x 32px RGB matrix panel that’s controlled using an Adafruit Bonnet. Everything is housed inside of a wooden box and finished with a tinted acrylic cover in front of the screen. # ⚓ The_Servo_Blog:_Conference_news⠀⇛ In the first week of June 2023, the Servo project team participated in the Web_Engines_Hackfest_2023. Delan Azabani gave a talk_about_the_Servo_project, diving into the details of the team’s work in the first half of the year and its plans for the second half. The talk provided some valuable insights into running some Servo demos as well as the status of floats and the evolution of the layout system. In addition, there were some engaging discussions around the future of the shared style crate in Gecko and Servo. # ⚓ Arthur_Grillo:_How_it’s_Going:_Adding_NV12_support_to VKMS⠀⇛ This work proposed by my mentor Maíra_Canal is going more difficult than I thought >W<. On the Community Bonding Period of GSoC, Maíra proposed I work on VKMS. While looking on the TODO list of the driver, on the plane feature section, I found the item “Additional buffer formats, especially YUV formats for video like NV12” interesting to work on, as it has some correlation with my work on the GSoC. # ⚓ Vasudev_Kamath:_Notes:_Experimenting_with_ZRAM_and_Memory Over_commit⠀⇛ § Introduction The ZRAM module in the Linux kernel creates a memory-backed block device that stores its content in a compressed format. It offers users the choice of compression algorithms such as lz4, zstd, or lzo. These algorithms differ in compression ratio and speed, with zstd providing the best compression but being slower, while lz4 offers higher speed but lower compression. § Using ZRAM as Swap One interesting use case for ZRAM is utilizing it as swap space in the system. There are two utilities available for configuring ZRAM as swap: zram-tools and systemd-zram-generator. However, Debian Bullseye lacks systemd-zram-generator, making zram-tools the only option for Bullseye users. While it’s possible to use systemd-zram- generator by self-compiling or via cargo, I preferred using tools available in the distribution repository due to my restricted environment. # § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ Evan Hahn ☛ Python’s_nonstandard_JSON_encoding⠀⇛ Python’s built-in JSON module, json, can produce results that most other JSON parsers do not accept. This is because it has nonstandard serializations for infinity, negative infinity, and NaN. # § Java⠀➾ # ⚓ Alexandru Nedelcu ☛ Java_Volatiles⠀⇛ In Java and other JVM languages, “volatile” reads and writes are part of the concurrency toolbox. But adding volatile on variables can be a mistake. This is a poorly understood concept. Let’s gain a better understanding. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Old VCR ☛ RIP,_Bob_Applegate⠀⇛ It’s hard to do two memorial posts in one weekend. If you use a KIM-1 or related 6502 single-board computers, Bob Applegate’s hardware (sold as Corsham Tech, though I remember when it was k2ut.org) was the best, including his virtually essential I/O card. [...] o ⚓ Ali Reza Hayati ☛ Community_versus_Corporation⠀⇛ As much as I like Reddit, I believe the corporation behind it makes it fundamentally impossible to build a real community-powered and people-driven network. Reddit’s benefits and decisions over their policies are based and focused on development of the corporation and financial factors while the communities focus on their interests such as building relationships with one another and producing and sharing better material with each other. o ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ How_the_musical_‘The_Rocky_Horror_Show’_became_a cult_hit⠀⇛ Whether in Australia or in the UK, the musical is getting new stagings to mark its 50th anniversary. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ The_Surprising_Reason_Astronomers_Are_Vital in_Legal_Proceedings⠀⇛ Most court evidence from an astronomer involves calculating the positions and lighting from an astronomical body – the Sun or Moon. Luckily, the tools we use to calculate the positions of celestial bodies are very accurate, and can be calculated hundreds to thousands of years into the past or future. An obvious example is when someone claims the Sun was in their eyes, causing a glare, and they get into a car accident. Someone needs to say where the Sun was, its position, and how it aligned with the street and direction of travel. At certain times and in certain directions, the Sun may indeed hinder someone’s vision. There is also the situation where someone sees something, but it happened around sunrise or sunset. An expert is needed to say what the lighting level was – as there are very clear definitions based on the Sun’s position below the horizon, and how much you can see. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ Post-Pandemic_Test_Scores_Show_Schools Struggling_to_Catch_Up [Ed: Pro Publica, which publishes this, is meanwhile taking bribes from the wrecking ball who has demolished US schools for personal profits. His name is Bill Gates and Pro Publica is in no position to claim high ground.]⠀⇛ Angela Wright became the principal of Fairfield Court Elementary School in Richmond, Virginia, in the fall of 2020, but she didn’t meet her students until a year later. At the start of the pandemic, Richmond had moved all of its 22,000 students to remote learning. By the time they returned to the classroom, in September 2021, after every other school district in the state, it had been 18 months since they’d been inside a school building. For Wright, the posting at Fairfield Court was the culmination of a steady rise: from instructional assistant to teacher to assistant principal to principal. When her father saw her first monthly paycheck as a teacher, he asked, “Is this for a week?” “He said, ‘Are you sure this is what you want to do?’” she recalled. “I said, ‘Yes.’ When you see kids light up, when you see that they get it, when you see kids who were tier three or lower rise to the top …” o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ System76’s_New_Laptops_Have_16:10_Displays_And RTX_4000_GPUs⠀⇛ System76 has announced an update to the Oryx Pro, one of the company’s laptops that ship with desktop Linux. It has a 16-inch display with a 16:10 aspect ratio, making it excellent for reading and working, and if you’d like to game, it’s also equipped with RTX 4000 GPUs, letting you choose up to an RTX 4070. # ⚓ Adafruit ☛ Torture-Testing_C-Clamps⠀⇛ Of all of the tools tested, only 1 out of 18 clamps survived the testing without damage. The brands Todd tested were Wilton, Wright Tool, Stanley Proto, Crescent, Bessey F-Style, Bessey C-Clamp, Groz, Yost, Lincoln Electric, Performance Tool, Pony, Harden, WEN, Pittsburgh, and Shop Tek. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Bringing_Back_The_Minitel⠀⇛ If you didn’t live in France in the 80s or 90s, it’s likely you missed out on one of the most successful computer networks in existence prior to the modern Internet. Known as Minitel, it was an online service available over existing phone lines that offered a connected computer terminal for users to do most things we associate with the modern world, such as booking travel, viewing news, looking up phone numbers, and plenty of other useful activities. While a lot of the original system was never archived, there are still some efforts to restore some of its original functionality like this MiniMit. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Latvia ☛ Latvia’s_Covid_vaccine_procurement_case_reaches court⠀⇛ Court proceedings are under way against the former Minister of Health Ilze Viņķele, in which she has been accused of inaction in the position as a state official. On Monday, June 19, Prime Minister Krišjānis Kariņš was among those testifying, Latvian Television reported. # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Stand_News_sedition_trial:_Closing arguments_adjourned_for_a_week_after_Hong_Kong_prosecutor gets_Covid-19⠀⇛ Closing arguments for the sedition trial against two former editors of now-defunct news outlet Stand News have been adjourned for a week after the lead prosecutor tested positive for Covid-19. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ China’s_Economic_Rebound_Hits_a_Wall,_With ‘No_Quick_Fix’_to_Revive_It⠀⇛ Policymakers and investors expected China’s economy to rev up again after Beijing abruptly dropped Covid precautions, but recent data shows alarming signs of a slowdown. # ⚓ NYPost ☛ YouTube_says_it_removed_Jordan_Peterson_interview of_RFK_Jr._for_violating_vaccine_policy [Ed: GulagTube: we advertise for experimental vaccine giants with patents and you cannot "insult" them. If you don't want critics in YouTube, just change your first name to "vaccine" (everything is presumed 100% without side effects) and if you don't want your businesses criticised, claim that it is in fact a religion.]⠀⇛ On Sunday, both Kennedy and podcast host Jordan Peterson tweeted that the video-sharing website had taken down their interview from an episode of Peterson’s show and accused the social media platform of censorship and interfering with a presidential campaign. o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Western_Digital_Blocks_Unpatched_Devices From_Cloud_Services⠀⇛ The move, which began on June 15, comes one month after the company released firmware updates for its My Cloud product line to address multiple security defects, including a critical path traversal bug that leads to remote code execution (RCE). The issue is tracked as CVE-2022-36327 and carries CVSS severity score of 9.8/10. According to a NIST advisory, the flaw “could allow an attacker to write files to locations with certain critical filesystem types.” # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ The_Frankenstein_ChatBots_Are_Coming⠀⇛ Before he gets specific, Claypool previews his conclusion: “Until meaningful government safeguards are in place to protect the public from the harms of generative A.I., we need a pause.” Just how, he doesn’t say. Because with so many increasing generators of these Chatbots around the world, this flood of Frankenstein Chatbots may present a problem the Dean of the Harvard Law School, Roscoe Pound, described regarding the prohibition of alcoholic beverages in the 1920s as being beyond “the limits of effective legal action.” # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Ralph_Nader:_The_Frankenstein_Chatbots_Are Erupting⠀⇛ Will the People Counter with Ethical and Enforceable Legal Frameworks? # § Windows TCO⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Guess_what_happened_to_this_US agency_using_outdated_software?⠀⇛ It turns out that this same gang of government-backed hackers used a different – and even older – Telerik flaw to break into another US federal agency’s Microsoft IIS web server, access the Document Manager component, upload webshells and other files, and establish persistence on the government network. The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and FBI warned about the first intrusion into a federal civilian executive branch agency’s Microsoft IIS web server back in March, and said the snafu happened between November 2022 and early January. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Ransomware_Gang_Takes_Credit_for February_Reddit_Hack⠀⇛ The attackers accessed internal documents, internal dashboards, business systems, source code, the information of hundreds of contacts and current and former employees, and advertiser data, Reddit said at the time, noting that it had no evidence that the attackers compromised production systems, user passwords or accounts. Over the weekend, the Alphv/BlackCat ransomware gang listed Reddit on its leak site and claimed to have stolen 80GB of data. No file-encrypting ransomware appears to have been deployed on Reddit’s systems. # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ BlackCat_ransomware_gang_demands $4.5M,_API_changes_for_80GB_leaked_Reddit_data⠀⇛ Hackers from the BlackCat ransomware gang have contacted Reddit Inc. claiming to be behind a [breach] that affected the social media forum platform in February that took more than 800 gigabytes of internal documents, code, contracts and employee information. # ⚓ SANS ☛ Malware_Delivered_Through_.inf_File,_(Mon,_Jun 19th)⠀⇛ They are simple text files and contain setup information in a driver package. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ New_Information_Stealer_‘Mystic Stealer’_Rising_to_Fame⠀⇛ Written in C and targeting Windows… # ⚓ Security Week ☛ MOVEit_Customers_Urged_to_Patch_Third Critical_Vulnerability⠀⇛ A critical vulnerability (CVE-2023-35708) in MOVEit software could allow unauthenticated attackers to access database content. # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Medibank_Group_says_it_has_not_been affected_by_MOVEit_flaw⠀⇛ A Medibank spokesperson said: “We were advised by the vendor Ipswitch about some vulnerabilities discovered in MOVEit – a software system we use to share information with external parties – and have promptly applied all the vendor’s recommended security patches. “We continue to investigate and work closely with the vendor, and at this stage we are not aware of any of our customers’ data being compromised.” {loadposition sam08}The spokesperson said the company was aware of the latest advisory issued by Progress Software Corporation, the firm that makes MOVEit. o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Asus_Patches_Highly_Critical_WiFi_Router Flaws⠀⇛ Asus patches nine WiFi router security defects, including a highly critical 2018 vulnerability that exposes users to code execution attacks. # ⚓ Support_for_Istio_1.16_ends_on_July_19th,_2023⠀⇛ According to Istio’s support_policy, minor releases like 1.16 are supported until six weeks after the N+2 minor release (1.18 in this case). Istio_1.18 was_released_on_June_7th, and support for 1.16 will end on July 19th, 2023. # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Alphv_ransomware_gang_wants_Reddit_to_withdraw change_in_API_pricing⠀⇛ The Alphv group said it had told Reddit that it had been initially willing to wait for the company’s proposed IPO to settle the data theft issue. It claimed to have contacted Reddit twice: on 13 April and again on 16 June. {loadposition sam08}”We are very confident that Reddit will not pay any money for their data. But I am very happy to know that the public will be able to read about all the statistics they track about their users and all the interesting confidential data we took. Did you know they also silently censor users? Along with artifacts from their GitHub!” the group wrote. Reddit has been mired in a stoush with its users for a while after it said it would be imposing costs for accessing its data. About 9000 subreddits have gone dark since the protest began. Third-party developers rely on the API to build their own apps which can provide access to features not found in the official Reddit app, especially in the case of content moderation and accessibility aids. # § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾ # ⚓ [Repeat] Light Blue Touchpaper ☛ The_Pre-play_Attack in_Real_Life⠀⇛ Almost ten years ago, after we wrote a paper on the pre-play attack, we were contacted by a Scottish sailor who’d bought a drink in a bar in Las Ramblas in Barcelona for €33, and found the following morning that he’d been charged €33,000 instead. The bar had submitted ten transactions an hour apart for €3,300 each, and when we got the transaction logs it turned out that these transactions had been submitted through three different banks. What’s more, although the transactions came from the same terminal ID, they had different terminal characteristics. When the sailor’s lawyer pointed this out to Lloyds Bank, they grudgingly accepted that it had been technical fraud and refunded the money. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ How_Classified_Evidence_Could_Complicate the_Trump_Documents_Case⠀⇛ Prosecutors and defense lawyers appear to be preparing for a pretrial fight over showing sensitive evidence to the jury and the public. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Donald_Trump_Says_‘Secret’_Document_He Described_on_Tape_Referred_to_News_Clippings⠀⇛ “There was no document,” the former president said on Fox News as he gave some of his most expansive remarks on the case that led to his federal indictment. # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ False_Witnesses_and_Sinister_Plots:_Exposing the_CIA_Connection_in_the_‘Chinese_Police_Station’ Narrative⠀⇛ # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ “I’s_Free,_I’s_Free”:_Let_The_Story_Be Told⠀⇛ Aptly for a nation built on racism, Juneteenth marks not the actual day enslaved black Texans were declared free but the day Union troops bothered to tell them they were free – months after the Civil War ended, and two years after Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. Today, black Americans beset by newly bold white supremacy, from the erasure of their history to the erosion of their voting rights, fight back with rage, truth, art, protest, but are still moved to ask: “How long must we sing this song?” # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Is_Juneteenth,_Our_New_National_Holiday,_a Delusion?⠀⇛ On June 16, 2023, the White House announced that President Biden was proud to have signed the 2021 bi-partisan law establishing Juneteenth as a new Federal holiday to, in his words, “commemorate America’s dedication to the cause of freedom.” Juneteenth, in many ways, is the quintessential American holiday. # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Juneteenth:_Embracing_the_Power_of_Awareness and_Repair⠀⇛ When President Biden made Juneteenth a federal holiday in 2021, I initially saw it as a symbolic gesture, unable to replace the concrete legislation needed to address the challenges faced by the Black community in America. # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ “Get_Down_to_Business”:_Harry_Belafonte_in 2016_on_Trump,_Socialism_&_Fighting_for_Justice⠀⇛ We continue our Juneteenth special with more from Harry Belafonte, the legendary actor, singer and civil rights activist, who died in April at the age of 96. Belafonte last appeared on Democracy Now! in 2016 at a special event at the historic Riverside Church in New York to celebrate Democracy Now!’s 20th anniversary. He co-headlined the event with Noam Chomsky. It was the first time they had done a public event together. Belafonte spoke about Donald Trump, who had just been elected president, and ongoing struggles for freedom and justice in the United States. “We just have to get out our old coats, dust them off, stop screwing around and just chasing the good times, and get down to business,” he said. “There’s some ass-kicking out here to be done. And we should do it.” # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ “Sing_Your_Song”:_Remembering_Harry Belafonte,_Who_Used_His_Stardom_to_Help_MLK_&_Civil_Rights Movement⠀⇛ We dedicate part of our Juneteenth special to remembering the life and legacy of the legendary actor, singer and civil rights activist Harry Belafonte, who died in April at the age of 96. Belafonte appeared on Democracy Now! numerous times, and we feature two interviews. We begin with our 2011 interview at the Sundance Film Festival, where a documentary about his life, titled Sing Your Song, premiered, and discuss his political awakening and activism in detail. “Going into the South of the United States, listening to the voices of rural Black America, listening to the voices of those who sang out against the Ku Klux Klan and out against segregation, and women, who were the most oppressed of all, rising to the occasion to protest against their conditions, became the arena where my first songs were to emerge,” Belafonte recalled. # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ Juneteenth_Special:_Historian_Clint_Smith on_Reckoning_with_the_History_of_Slavery_Across_America⠀⇛ We feature a special broadcast on the newly created Juneteenth federal holiday commemorating the day in 1865 when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, learned of their freedom more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. We begin with our 2021 interview with historian Clint Smith, originally aired a day after President Biden signed legislation to make Juneteenth the first new federal holiday since Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Smith is the author of How the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America. “When I think of Juneteenth, part of what I think about is the both/andedness of it,” Smith says, “that it is this moment in which we mourn the fact that freedom was kept from hundreds of thousands of enslaved people for years and for months after it had been attained by them, and then, at the same time, celebrating the end of one of the most egregious things that this country has ever done.” Smith says he recognizes the federal holiday marking Juneteenth as a symbol, “but it is clearly not enough.” # ⚓ Axios ☛ More_states_marking_Juneteenth_as_holiday_this year⠀⇛ Two years after Juneteenth became the 11th federal holiday, more companies_are_giving_their_employees the_day_off and a growing number of states are recognizing it as a public holiday. # ⚓ Atlantic Council ☛ China_is_losing_Eastern_Europe⠀⇛ Eastern Europe was once touted as China’s economic ‘gateway to Europe,’ but China’s failure to condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine has put strain on the relationship. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Germany and China_Try_to_Reset_Relations for_a_Changed_World⠀⇛ This week the two countries will restart government consultations after a pandemic hiatus, but amid the war in Ukraine and rising U.S., Chinese tensions, common ground may be elusive. # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ China’s_premier_Li_Qiang_in_Germany on_first_overseas_duty_visit⠀⇛ By Hui Min Neo China’s Premier Li Qiang met Germany’s president in Berlin during his first trip abroad on Monday, at a time when Beijing’s policies on Russia, trade and human rights are receiving an increasingly hostile reception in the West. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ U.S._Worries_About_Private_Chinese Companies_Aiding_Russia,_Blinken_Says⠀⇛ Secretary of State Antony J.

As he said in an interview when “The Doomsday Machine” came out, scientific research has concluded that nuclear war “would loft into the stratosphere many millions of tons of soot and black smoke from the burning cities. It wouldn’t be rained out in the stratosphere. It would go around the globe very quickly and reduce sunlight by as much as 70 percent, causing temperatures like that of the Little Ice Age, killing harvests worldwide and starving to death nearly everyone on earth. It probably wouldn’t cause extinction. We’re so adaptable.

At the start of his trial for leaking the Pentagon Papers, Ellsberg declared: “This has been for me an act of hope and of trust. Hope that the truth will free us of this war. Trust that informed Americans will direct their public servants to stop lying and to stop the killing and dying by Americans in Indochina.” The federal case collapsed after the judge learned of endless illegal skullduggery against Ellsberg by the Nixon White House. # ⚓ Craig Murray ☛ Daniel_Ellsberg,_and_the_“Good”_and_“Bad” Whistleblower⠀⇛ The massive obituaries to Daniel Ellsberg at the weekend in both New York Times and Washington Post were proof of the status he held in the United States. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Himalayan_Glaciers_Are_Melting_65%_Faster Than_Just_10_Years_Ago⠀⇛ Glaciers in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region are a crucial water source for around 240 million people in the mountainous regions, as well as for another 1.65 billion people in the river valleys below, the report said. Based on current emissions trajectories, the glaciers could lose up to 80 percent of their current volume by the end of the century, said the Nepal-based ICIMOD, an inter-governmental organization that also includes member countries Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, and Pakistan. # ⚓ teleSUR ☛ UN_Adopts_First_Treaty_to_Protect_the_High_Seas⠀⇛ Among other provisions, the agreement will regulate the sharing of benefits derived from marine genetic resources beyond national jurisdictions, the creation of protected areas on the high seas, and the establishment of a framework for assessing environmental damage. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ ‘Great_Resignation’_continues_amid cooling_economy:_PwC [Ed: "Great Resignation" is a myth and a lie, in this case perpetuated by professional liars who helped EPO cover up corruption and lies about oppressed staff; it's just victim-blaming spin. It's also gaslighting like "cooling economy".

Even as the ‘Great Resignation’ continues, about 42 per cent of the employees surveyed by PwC in its latest study of the global workforce said they planned to demand a pay rise to cope with the higher cost of living, up from 35 per cent last year. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ The Guardian UK ☛ Signal’s_Meredith_Whittaker:_‘These_are the_people_who_could_actually_pause_AI_if_they_wanted_to’⠀⇛ The president of the not-for-profit messaging app on how she believes existential warnings about AI allow big tech to entrench their power, and why the online safety bill may be unworkable # ⚓ RIPE ☛ EuroDIG_2023_Live_Blog⠀⇛ EuroDIG 2023, the European Dialogue on Internet Governance, is taking place this week.

She also stressed the responsibility of developers to protect individuals, businesses, and the wider economy from potential vulnerabilities in AI systems. Cameron’s comments underscore the growing recognition of the inherent risks associated with AI and the need for a proactive and preemptive approach to security. She argued against relying on retroactively adding security measures to AI technology in the future and shifting the burden of risk onto individual users. # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ Google_teams_up_with_UK NCSC,_offering_SMEs_free_cybersecurity_training⠀⇛ In an effort to equip small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with essential cybersecurity knowledge, Google and the UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) have launched a free training program called ‘Improve your online business security.’ The course, which can be accessed online or in person at Google’s Digital Garage events across the country, offers valuable insights into cybersecurity best practices and lasts for one hour. # ⚓ MIT Technology Review ☛ Five_big_takeaways_from_Europe’s_AI Act⠀⇛ What Wednesday’s vote accomplished was to approve the European Parliament’s position in the upcoming final negotiations. Structured similarly to the EU’s Digital Services Act, a legal framework for online platforms, the AI Act takes a “risk-based approach” by introducing restrictions based on how dangerous lawmakers predict an AI application could be. Businesses will also have to submit their own risk assessments about their use of AI. # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ The_Emergence_of_a_New_Non-Alignment⠀⇛ Dear friends, Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Putin_Shows_African_Leaders_Draft_Treaty_on Ukrainian_Neutrality_From_March_2022⠀⇛ A delegation of African leaders traveled to Russia and Ukraine to urge for a ceasefire and negotiations. # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ G.O.P._Targets_Researchers_Who_Study Disinformation_Ahead_of_2024_Election⠀⇛ Much of the disinformation surrounding both issues has come from the right.

The defendant was not allowed not to possess electronic devices with social media apps, make comments on social media or join messaging groups with more than five people. She was also ordered to delete all social media apps and the offending posts; hand over and sign into accounts for police to investigate; not make contact with foreign politicians; and report to the police station twice a week. # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Salman_Rushdie_wins_prestigious_German peace_prize⠀⇛ The Peace Prize of the German Book Trade for 2023 has been awarded to British-American author Salman Rushdie, “for his indomitable spirit, for his affirmation of life and for enriching our world with his love of storytelling,” the award’s Board of Trustees said in a statement on Monday in Frankfurt am Main. “From the moment his masterpiece ‘Midnight’s Children’ was published in 1981, Salman Rushdie has awed us with his interpretations of migration and global politics. In his novels and nonfiction, he melds narrative foresight with unfailing literary innovation, humor and wisdom. His work chronicles the force used by oppressive regimes to destroy entire societies while also celebrating the indestructible spirit of resistance displayed by individual human beings,” the prize’s board added. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ In_Latest_Move_To_Stifle_Civil_Society,_Russia Labels_Agora_Rights_Group_‘Undesirable’⠀⇛ The Russian Prosecutor’s Office has designated prominent human rights group Agora, which has provided political and rights activists with legal advice, as “an undesirable organization” and banned its operations in the country. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ EDRI ☛ Open_letter:_The_Council_of_European_Union_must protect_journalists_against_spyware_and_surveillance_in_the European_Media_Freedom_Act⠀⇛ While the attempt to protect journalists is welcome, there are concerns about how effective the Regulation will end up being, given the recent changes being made to the draft by the Council of the European Union. The latest compromise text of 24 May and discussed by the Audiovisual and Media Working Group on 30 May poses serious risks to European Union core democratic principles and fundamental rights, notably press freedoms, freedom of expression and the protection of journalists. Pressure to weaken the already insufficient Commission’s proposal comes from the French authorities. In a non-paper circulated in April to other delegations, the French government strongly pushed for adding a wide “national security” carve out from any protections afforded by the EMFA, in order to safeguard the prerogative of Member States in this area of competence. France absolutely dreads the scrutiny of the Court of Justice of the European Union, which “presents the risk of an extensive interpretation”of safeguards in EU law. It also advocated for the deletion of the term “spyware” in the Regulation so as to treat the deployment of such extremely intrusive tools like any other investigative means. # ⚓ Project Censored ☛ Latest_Developments_in_the_Julian Assange_Extradition_Case_/_Honoring_the_Late_Daniel_Ellsberg and_His_Work_–_The_Project_Censored_Show⠀⇛ Notes: Kevin Gosztola is the managing editor of ShadowProof.

But, as Lisa- Jane Roberts writes, the culture of the SAS has deep roots and is unlikely to be fixed by technology.  The Australian Defence Force’s top brass is supporting a push to have special forces wear body cameras in a move aimed at stamping out bad behaviour. But is the camera push simply window dressing? Will it address a deeper problem within our defence forces? # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Hong_Kong_court_blocks_bid_by_media tycoon_Jimmy_Lai_to_appeal_against_phones’_national_security search_warrant⠀⇛ Hong Kong’s Court of Appeal has blocked pro- democracy media tycoon Jimmy Lai’s bid to challenge a national security search warrant of his phones, which he says contained protected journalistic materials, at the city’s top court. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Court_Bailiff_Found_Dead_In_Public_Restroom_In Russia’s_Bashkortostan⠀⇛ A court bailiff was found dead in a public restroom in Russia’s Republic of Bashkortostan. # ⚓ OpenRightsGroup ☛ Refugee_Week:_Compassion_needed_at_the Home_Office⠀⇛ This year marks the 25th anniversary of Refugee Week, and the theme is compassion, celebrating the resilience of refugees and asylum seekers.

The US has also been leading a campaign to have Huawei technology blocked from the telecommunications networks of its allies in Europe and elsewhere, which has had a devastating effect on its bottom line in countries such as the UK. The move could have worrying implications if Huawei intends to expand this apparent targeting of small to midsize companies to other regions. Nikkei states that the company is believed to be stepping up royalty collections in Southeast Asia as well as Japan. # ⚓ How_the_UPC_and_European_Patents_with_Unitary_Effect Reach_Beyond_Europe_to_the_United_States [Ed: UPC is illegal.

The U.S. government put Huawei on a blacklist in 2018 that restricted its ability to buy from American suppliers. By October 2022, the U.S. made it clear that no Americans should work with Chinese businesses on high-end semiconductor tech. # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Most_Prolific_World_Cup_Pirates_Also Most_Likely_to_Use_a_Paid_Service⠀⇛ At the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar, defending champions France couldn’t prevent Argentina from lifting the trophy. Back on home soil, French telecoms regulator Arcom blocked 83 domains during the tournament but couldn’t prevent some fans from streaming games illegally. The conundrum for Arcom is that if it cracked down on the most prolific football pirates, it would also be cracking down on the fans most likely to use paid, legal services. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Anti-Piracy_Group_Signals Opportunities_to_Tackle_Online_Piracy_Apps⠀⇛ A recent publication by the Audiovisual Anti- Piracy Alliance signals app piracy as a growing problem that has room for improvement. Rightsholders could collaborate more intensely with app stores, for example. Meanwhile, app platforms could implement know-your-customer verification, while deploying automated tools to scan for and filter apps that use known pirate keywords. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Pirate_Movie_Supplier_Quits_After Russian_Pirates_Cammed_its_Pirate_Releases⠀⇛ There are fears that Russia’s black-market supply of unlicensed Hollywood movies could soon dry up.
