It’s millions of dollars spent on “media” and similar campaigning, so many people forget all the awful things this foundation is doing. “Next month we’re going to show that littering or spamming sites isn’t even the worst LF has done. It goes much further than that and crosses over to dark/ negative campaigning.”To make matters worse, the foundation uses its money to seed puff pieces (for itself, not for Linux) in so-called ‘Linux’ news sites. As an example, see how LinuxInsider was running SPAM pieces/PR for ‘Linux’ Foundation just_earlier_this_week. It’s not about Linux. Not even remotely. It goes a lot further than this example. Years ago FOSSForce and ItsFOSS were dabbling in “LF spam” for a while (no idea how much that paid), which meant that those sites became ads for LF instead of Linux and they promoted all sorts of junk, even “DEALS” (marketing). Next month we’re going to show that littering or spamming sites isn’t even the worst LF has done. It goes much further than that and crosses over to dark/ negative campaigning. LF is a cancer on Linux. How many “Linux” sites are left untainted by LF bribes and can actually say this? Years before FOSSForce ran puff pieces and ads for LF the site’s founder, Christine Hall, had openly blasted LF. What happened since then? Did LF reform itself or just open up its wallet?

So the reporter of a crime, typically a victim, must create that POLITICAL will, only then the police starts getting on with the program. Because they serve and protect their masters, not the victims. “I even built parts of their sites.”On Monday I sent the following message to Greater London Authority, whose systems I worked on for a long time. I even built parts of their sites. Here’s my message to key people there: Hi, There’s substantial progress to report on the troubling case of Sirius Open Source, the Greater London Authority (London Municipality) contractor whose deal I helped secure in 2013 when I visited and spoke to staff. They know me by name, they know me in person. Some of you met me in person. Some of your colleagues did because I was working on their Greater London Authority (GLA) sites and microsites, with ample evidence I did a lot of work for them on the sites and beyond since 2013 (sometimes in 24/7 shift coverage, i.e. overnight). My wife did the same. You know her. Some of you met her in person. Don’t look away and pretend to be strangers, as we’ve now the victims of crimes committed by your chosen contractor. You renewed several times, pending reviews, typically in meetings which involved meeting in person those who defrauded me and my colleagues. You met them and renewed while they defrauded us (we did not know until this year). My wife and I were shocked. We both resigned this past December in light of abusive behaviour at Sirius Open Source, perpetrated by the managers. Sirius management did this to us since 2011 if not a bit earlier. They kept this hidden from everybody. They forged payslips (the payslips lied). They committed very serious crimes. Why am I reaching out to managers at Greater London Authority? The answer is very simple. They are in charge of Action Fraud and Sirius is/was your contractor (you were our client for almost a decade); as someone who worked for you in IT as a contractor since 2013 I think it is perfectly reasonable for me to ask you to intervene, as police is treating reports of crimes with complete disrespect (not even looking into them, based on the automated reply) and then stonewalling my MP; upon reporting the crime to Action Fraud they left me hanging for 4 weeks. I then contacted my MP, who in turn contacted Action Fraud directly. And guess what; a month has passed and Action Fraud did not bother replying to her. Is it normal for Action Fraud to gaslight victims of crimes for over 2 months? I’m not alone here. My former colleagues were defrauded similarly and we have formal letters affirming this. Standard Life issued them. It’s undeniable that a serious crime took place. The company never denied it. It’s just hiding. It refuses to talk about it. It is my understanding, having visited my lawyer a few times, that you do have an obligation to all your staff, no matter if outsourced or contracted, and moreover you can compel Action Fraud to treat crime reports with respect in a timely manner. Is this how the British government treats workers, via contractors that are rogue? Action Fraud goes under London Police (Met), so the issue is now on your desk. I have the media/press on tap. To avoid misunderstandings, this isn’t a sole case or an ‘accident’. The embezzlement started only a few months after I had joined the company in early 2011. So it’s not something that happened very recently. The matter was reported as a crime to the police, handled by a Members of Parliament, and also reported as tax fraud to HMRC (because it constituted misreporting taxes too). At the end of the day you got a company that worked for you very cheaply[*], but it was cheap because it was secretly stealing money from staff, i.e. you benefited from the money stolen from your own workers. This entire scenario makes outsourcing and such contracting practices look dubious in general, not just highly risky, for legal reasons as well. Managers at GLA, along with elected politicians, are the ones allocating the budget for the police[**]. There’s thus double responsibility here, as managers of that budget and employer (via contractor) of the victims. Whether Action Fraud has itself devolved into a “fraud” (reputable media in the UK has investigated and found exactly that!) isn’t for me to decide. I have no say on the matter, but GLA is also in the middle of a scandal, which thus has multiple angles to it. There’s also a potential conflict of interest here, which I am fully aware of. To the cops, the fraud report concerns a contractor of their sponsor. And of course they can always just conveniently deny the role of such a glaring factor, but that’s beside the main point that GLA must now take action to spare its own reputation. This does look good at all for the system as a whole — a system wherein white-collar crime is being protected and victims are subjected to gaslighting and time-wasting processes, which I intend to pursue nonetheless. The press will be watching the matter, as will my former colleagues, who are also victims. Some of them now work for GLA directly. Sincerely, Dr. Roy S. Schestowitz ____ [*] They paid some of my colleagues 21,000 pounds a year for a role that should pay 2-3 times as much, not even counting the fact we all worked overnight and holidays (Christmas also); projects and high alertness tasks like 24/7 monitoring for the price close to minimum wage — sure you cannot get that anywhere near central London. But the low salary isn’t a crime, just an anecdote.

Curiously enough, none of the people addressed above bothered to reply, but it seems clear the matter got escalated to “ECONOMIC CRIME VICTIM CONTACT UNIT (VCoA)” (it is their face- saving department). “Strange statement from “action” fraud,” one person told me, seeing they claim they “do not investigate crime”, but from we can gather they did start investigating (another unit). “Well, how curious that all of a sudden Action Fraud got in touch (just 4 hours later).”If people report crime to get a number (and a bot message) and then a list of URLs for “tips”, then one worries for people who lack the political connections. They cannot even blog about their experiences (some Twitter account can be shadowbanned) and rely too much on media/press bothering to give them a voice. When starting this on Monday the timeframe for this step was 5 days, as I wanted to do this right and give them the whole working week to reply. I can report with certainty, however, that of the ~8 people contacted in the municipality none bothered to respond to me directly. Some know me in person as they worked with me. In any case, assuming the police is on the case now, we won’t disclose any more details. Let them do their job. This type is scenario is apparently not “uniquely British”. As Ryan from Illinois put it in his message to me only moments ago, “my spouse’s sister got the fraudulent life insurance and all that happened was that the insurance company shut the policy down. The police in two Illinois cities refused to take a report and the Department of Insurance said they weren’t an investigatory agency and the Attorney General didn’t respond at all. And this was basically leading up to a murder-for-hire, most likely. So you now have the policing system of the third most corrupt US state in London.” To quote Ryan: “We won’t take your report!” -Gurnee and Waukgan PD “We won’t investigate this as a crime!” -IDoI “We won’t even answer you!” -Illinois AG It’s because they consider his sister as more important and of higher status. So they refuse to investigate crimes she commits against “unimportant people”. Felonies, even. Just by signing his name to that form she could theoretically do 2-5 years in prison for forgery. If they took the report. Never mind attempt to defraud an insurance company. [By murdering her sibling] Laws are only laws if they’re enforced. Guess how quickly I’d be in the slammer if I signed “Maricel Almaria” to something to defraud insurance? It’s one-way. She can defraud insurance companies and plan to murder her brother, and the police won’t even accept the report. I contacted the FTC and reported her too. All they did was give me a case number in case we wanted to put a long term fraud alert on [the spouse]‘s credit report for 7 years. There are many other examples.

The perpetrators of the fraud all need to be held accountable. This may also mean extradition and arrests. Several people were aware if not directly involved, possibly not limited to Sirius management but also the IFA and the accountants (without their active or passive cooperation it would not work; they legitimised this fraud). 2. The money which got stolen from all the staff needs to be recovered; it is expected the company will claim that there’s no money left, having emptied accounts and maybe hid the money somewhere far away, maybe under other people’s names, possibly in anticipation of the fallout as soon as victims find out. This step may require subpoenas (to unveil the list of victims, then get in touch to inform them one by one). 3. Compensation to Rianne and myself, as we were both workers who were mistreated on numerous different grounds (as above, the company may pretend that it cannot afford this). Financial accountability for this elaborate embezzlement can be passed outwards as deep-pocketed facilitators existed*. 4. Unseal the non-disclosure agreement signed with the Gates Foundation in 2019. The timing suggests a correlation with sham staff contracts and two new shell companies, one in Washington State, not far from the Gates Foundation; this also coincided with Techrights pursuing nearly 3,000 pages from police in Washington State — those pages were eventually received from Seattle police* and did in fact confirm an arrest for pedophilia at the home of Bill and Melinda Gates. ______ * It is our knowledge and understanding that the company began hiding behind its accountant (I confronted the CEO about the change of address over the telephone — a very long phonecall — this past October or a day after it had happened). The company has an_address_at_the_heart_and_centre_of_London. Even its_shell_has_the_same_address_in_London. We understand that the City of London Police is now involved (we’ve receive formal communications from the City of London Police) and we’ve also heard from someone who reckons the wheels are in motion at the police, for reasons we shall cover in the future. The City of London Police does have the powers to locate and apprehend these people. I am just a citizen, I’m not a cop, and I’ve asked the police since March to take action (this weekend is July already). There are many victims here, not just me. Noticed we’ve all along refrained from naming the perpetrators because we don’t know how many of them there are and we don’t want to falsely accuse those who are merely suspects. ** Case Investigation Report: 2014-22121 (Seattle Police Dept.

For years, we’ve tried to provide the right suggestions for these tunables, via software release notes and improved default values, but many system loads will benefit from dynamic tuning of these values. Introducing bpftune, an automatic configurator that monitors your workloads and sets the correct kernel parameter values! bpftune is an open source project available via dnf install in the Oracle Linux ol_developer repos, and at https://github.com/ oracle-samples/bpftune. bpftune aims to provide lightweight, always-on auto-tuning of system behaviour. The key benefits it provides are: Continuously monitoring and adjusting system behavior by using BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter) observability features. Tuning system behavior at a fine-grained level, made possible since we can observe more details of system state using BPF. It is currently focused on some of the most common issues with tunables we have run into at Oracle, but with a pluggable infrastructure that is open to contributions. We hope you find it useful too! # ⚓ Blender_3.6_LTS_Release_Notes⠀⇛ Check out out the final release notes on blender.org.

I had only tested that it starts, hadn’t tested that it actually does write an image file to a drive. But, this post has alerted me that there is a problem with writing: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=92621#p92621 …they have reported that ‘pkexec’ is missing. This is a little utility to run something as another user. It puts up a little GUI window asking for a password. ‘pkexec’ is in the ‘polkit’ package, but Easy does not use polkit.

One of their seemingly bizarre characteristics is the fact that the expressions calculating their boundaries (when they are bounded) evaluate in their own lexical environment, which is captured. In other words: the expressions denoting the boundaries of Poke arrays conform closures. Also, the way they evaluate may be surprising.

The WSJ report said there were also moves afoot to restrict leasing cloud services to AI firms in China as they were being used to get around the restrictions on chip exports. Also in the pipeline are laws that limit the extent of American investment in China and other countries considered to be geopolitical rivals.

Even after Putin returned to the office in 2012 and appointed Medvedev to the prime ministership, where he remained for the next 7.5 years, he was still viewed as a liberal — that is, when anyone thought about him at all. He remained in that post until 2020, when Putin “needed a real prime minister,” as one political scientist put it to Meduza. Over the two years that followed, though Medvedev continued to serve as deputy chairman of the State Security Council, he essentially faded from public life; to this day, he’s not even the first “Medvedev” to come up in Google’s search results (at least in English). In the 16 months since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, however, the former president has reinvented his public persona, becoming one of Moscow’s most outspoken and hateful hawks, and making even Putin seem measured in comparison. Meduza special correspondent Andrey Pertsev explains Dmitry Medvedev’s dramatic shift. # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Western_Officials_Say_Ukrainian Counteroffensive_‘Not_Meeting_Expectations’⠀⇛ Officials tell CNN that Russia is having success in its defense. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Three_people_killed_and_25_injured_in Russian_missile_strike_on_Kramatorsk_—_Meduza⠀⇛ The Russian armed forces have launched a missile strike on Kramatorsk, a city in the Donetsk region of Ukraine.

It is not clear what happened nor what was staged and what was real. Each expert and commentator offers a different expert commentary. # ⚓ France24 ☛ These_videos_do_not_show_clashes_between the_Wagner_Group_and_Russian_forces⠀⇛ In the aftermath of the armed rebellion attempt by Yevgeny Prigozhin’s Wagner mercenary group against the Russian army command on Saturday June 24, people began sharing images online purporting to show the two sides fighting. But at least two of these videos were taken from the video game Arma 3 – and it’s not the first time this military video game has been used to spread misinformation. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Putin’s_defense_chief_Shoigu_survived Prigozhin’s_challenge_–_but_for_how_long?⠀⇛ Russia’s embattled defence minister was in the hot seat long before Yevgeny Prigozhin sent his Wagner mercenaries racing to Moscow on a stated mission to oust him. The latter’s failure shows President Vladimir Putin is unwilling to sacrifice his long-time confidant – at least for now. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Man_serving_17-year_sentence_for_murdering his_ex-girlfriend_released_from_penal_colony_to_fight in_Ukraine._Witnesses_dread_retribution._—_Meduza⠀⇛ Vladislav Kanyus brutally murdered his ex- girlfriend Vera Pekhteleva in 2020, shortly after the 23-year-old undergraduate from Kemerovo decided to leave the violent relationship.

Prigozhin has reportedly arrived in Belarus. We speak with James Risen, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The Intercept, who covered the 1991 attempted coup in Moscow and says Prigozhin may have had a chance to complete his march on Moscow and topple the government, but he lost his nerve. Risen says the rebellion exposed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s rule as hollow. “Prigozhin is clearly a threat, as long as he’s alive, to Putin,” warns Risen. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ How_BRICS_Countries_Help_to_Define_a Truly_New_World_Order⠀⇛ June 18, Washington, D.C.—The international grouping known as BRICS—Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa—has maintained a generally low profile on the world scene since its founding in the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2008–09. But last year, the combined economic output of the five BRICS members, measured in purchasing power parity, for the first time exceeded that of the US-led G7. And this year, BRICS is poised to move to a much more powerful role in world affairs: It looks as if 13 significant other nations from the Global South, including Saudi Arabia and Iran, may be admitted to the grouping at its upcoming summit, slated for late August in South Africa. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Russia_Drops_Criminal_Charges Against_Prigozhin_After_Wagner_Rebellion⠀⇛ The Russian authorities said that Wagner members would face no criminal charges for the mutiny and would hand over equipment, but the fate of the group’s thousands of fighters was unclear. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Russian_Defense_Ministry_says_preparations underway_to_transfer_Wagner_Group’s_equipment_to regular_army_—_Meduza⠀⇛ Preparations are underway for the transfer of Wagner Group’s military equipment to units of the Russian Armed Forces, according to the Russian Defense Ministry. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Russian_FSB_drops_criminal_case_on_Wagner Group_rebellion_—_Meduza⠀⇛ Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has closed its criminal case on Wagner Group’s armed rebellion, according to state media. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ In_Russia,_Wagner_Rebellion_Echoes Another_Coup_Attempt_in_1917⠀⇛ Amid a flagging war effort, a popular commander turned his troops toward Russia’s own capital, undermining the government.

Speaking in front of the Kremlin’s iconic Palace of Facets on June 27, Putin thanked Russia’s forces of law and order for having “stopped a civil war” that was about to plunge the country into “chaos.” But not once did the president mention the leader of the insurgence, Yevgeny Prigozhin, by name. The same is true of the Kremlin’s propaganda guidelines that have been recently distributed to the state- controlled Russian media. Meduza’s special correspondent Andrey Pertsev has got ahold of the Kremlin’s instructions on how state propaganda must cover the insurrection and frame it for posterity. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ Atlantic Council ☛ Lessons_from_the_Paris_Summit_for_a_New Global_Financing_Pact⠀⇛ Dressing up concrete measures as parts of a “new global financial architecture” risks conflating them with the geopolitical conflict about the future of the current world order. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ China_EV_sales_in_1Q23_rose_despite_cut_in government_subsidy⠀⇛ Despite discontinuation of a government subsidy, electric vehicle sales in China during the first quarter of 2023 have grown by 29%, the technology analyst firm Counterpoint Research says, without providing any actual numbers. # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ CityNerd_on_city_values⠀⇛ At the risk of turning this blog into a stenography service for Not Just Bikes, CityNerd, and other urbanist channels, I thought this observation was poignant. # ⚓ H2 View ☛ Successful_testing_of_high-pressure_pure hydrogen_pipeline_in_China⠀⇛ China has carried out the successful operation of a high-pressure pure hydrogen pipeline, according to local media. # ⚓ RFA ☛ China_denies_compensation_for_Tibetans displaced_by_world’s_largest_hydro-solar_plant⠀⇛ Nomads had filed complaints with the Chinese government to no avail o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Ford_to_Layoff_at_Least_1,000_Workers,_EV_Startup_Lordstown Motors_Dies⠀⇛ In internal meetings Monday, Ford began notifying some salaried workers in North America that job cuts would be coming, a company spokesman confirmed Tuesday morning.

While the graduation of the corresponding enhancement from alpha to beta in v1.26 introduced signatures for the binary artifacts, other projects followed the approach by providing image signatures for their releases, too. This means that they either create the signatures within their own CI/CD pipelines, for example by using GitHub actions, or rely on the Kubernetes image promotion process to automatically sign the images by proposing pull requests to the k/k8s.io repository. A requirement for using this process is that the project is part of the kubernetes or kubernetes-sigs GitHub organization, so that they can utilize the community infrastructure for pushing images into staging buckets. Assuming that a project now produces signed container image artifacts, how can one actually verify the signatures? It is possible to do it manually like outlined in the official Kubernetes documentation. The problem with this approach is that it involves no automation at all and should be only done for testing purposes. In production environments, tools like the sigstore policy- controller can help with the automation. These tools provide a higher level API by using Custom Resource Definitions (CRD) as well as an integrated admission controller and webhook to verify the signatures. The general usage flow for an admission controller based verification is: [...] o § Kernel Space⠀➾ # ⚓ Talospace ☛ Linux_6.4⠀⇛ While we wait to see what Red Hat’s new source code policy does to RHEL rebuilds like RockyLinux and Alma Linux downstream, Linux 6.4 came out this week. [...] # ⚓ LWN ☛ Reports_from_OSPM_2023,_part_2⠀⇛ The fifth conference on Power Management and Scheduling in the Linux Kernel (abbreviated “OSPM”) was held on April 17 to 19 in Ancona, Italy. LWN was not there, unfortunately, but the attendees of the event have gotten together to write up summaries of the discussions that took place and LWN has the privilege of being able to publish them. Reports from the second day of the event appear below. # ⚓ LWN ☛ Merging_copy_offload⠀⇛ Kernel support for copy offload is a feature that has been floating around in limbo for a decade or more at this point; it has been implemented along the way, but never merged. The idea is that the host system can simply ask a block storage device to copy some data within the device and it will do so without further involving the host; instead of reading data into the host so that it can be written back out again, the device circumvents that process. At the 2023 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management and BPF Summit, Nitesh Shetty led a storage and filesystem session to discuss the current status of a patch set that he and others have been working on, with an eye toward getting something merged fairly soon. The overall concept of copy offload is that you issue a command to a device and it copies the data from one place on the device to another, though the copy can also be between NVMe namespaces on a device. The advantages are in saving CPU resources, PCI bandwidth, and, on fabrics, network bandwidth, because the copy stays local to the device. The first approach was from Martin Petersen in 2014, which was ioctl()-based; another, which was based on using two BIOs, was developed by Mikulas Patocka in 2015. The ioctl() approach had problems with scalability, Shetty said. Petocka’s approach was compatible with the device mapper, but neither of the two patch sets gained any traction in the community. # ⚓ LWN ☛ Backporting_XFS_fixes_to_stable⠀⇛ Backporting fixes to stable kernels is an ongoing process that, in general, is handled by the stable maintainers or the developers of the fixes. However, due to some unhappiness in the XFS development community with the process of handling stable fixes for that filesystem, a different process has come about for backporting XFS patches to the stable kernels. The three developers doing that work, Leah Rumancik, Amir Goldstein, and Chandan Babu Rajendra, led a plenary session at the 2023 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management and BPF Summit (with Rajendra participating remotely) to discuss that process. Goldstein began by noting that each of the presenters is responsible for a different stable kernel; he does 5.10, Rumancik handles 5.15, and Rajendra is responsible for 5.4. The session was meant to be something of a case study, because other filesystems (and subsystems) have similar issues. He was “very happy to see” that stable maintainer Sasha Levin was present for the session so that he could offer his perspective as well. # ⚓ LWN ☛ Merging_bcachefs⠀⇛ The bcachefs filesystem, and the process for getting it upstream, were the topics of a session led remotely by Kent Overstreet, creator of bcachefs, at the 2023 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management and BPF Summit. He has also discussed bcachefs in previous editions of the summit, first in 2018 and at last year’s event; in both of those cases, the question of getting bcachefs merged into the mainline kernel came up, but that merge has not happened yet. This time around, though, Overstreet seemed closer than ever to being ready to actually start that process. He began his talk by noting that he had been saying bcachefs is almost ready for merging for some time now; “now I’m saying, let’s finally do it”. He wanted to report on the status of the filesystem and on why it is ready now for upstreaming, but he wanted to use the bulk of the session to discuss the process of doing so. “It’s a massive, 90,000- lines-of-code beast” that needs to get reviewed, so there is a need to figure out the process to do that review. His goal with bcachefs is to have the “performance, reliability, scalability, and robustness of XFS with modern features”. That’s a high bar, and one that bcachefs has not yet reached, but “I think we’re pretty far along”. People are running bcachefs on 100TB filesystems “without any issues or complaints”; he is waiting for the first 1PB filesystem. “Snapshots scale beautifully”, which is not true for Btrfs, based on user complaints, he said. # ⚓ LWN ☛ XFS_online_filesystem_check_and_repair⠀⇛ Darrick Wong has been doing work on XFS online repair for a number of years and things are getting to the point where most of the filesystem-internal work has been completed and is under review. The work remaining mostly concerns the user-space side to set up a periodic scan and repair cycle, so he wanted to discuss what user space needs from this kind of feature in a filesystem session at the 2023 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management and BPF Summit that he led remotely. The session may not have gone quite as he hoped, as it got somewhat derailed by topics that spilled over from the earlier session on unprivileged image mounts. His current patch set for XFS online repair is “out for review on Dave Chinner’s laptop right now”, so it is time to start talking about the missing pieces. That means that he will be talking more about user space than he would normally; there is a user-space driver program that controls how often the online fsck mechanism runs. There is nothing yet for notifying user space of problems that were found by an online fsck pass, nor is there a daemon monitoring for notifications to do anything about them, such as to issue repair requests. There is no good infrastructure in the kernel for handling and dispatching such things, he said. # ⚓ LWN ☛ Scope-based_resource_management_for_the_kernel⠀⇛ The C language does not provide the sort of resource-management features found in more recent languages. As a result, bugs involving leaked memory or failure to release a lock are relatively common in programs written in C — including the kernel. The kernel project has never limited itself to the language features found in the C standard, though; kernel developers will happily use extensions provided by compilers if they prove helpful. It looks like a relatively simple compiler-provided feature may lead to a significant change in some common kernel coding patterns. o § Graphics Stack⠀➾ # ⚓ AppleInsider ☛ Valve_nabs_critical_video_developer_from Apple_Silicon_Linux_project⠀⇛ Valve is working to improve gaming on Linux platforms, and recently hired a developer who was crucial to bringing Linux to Apple Silicon.

First off, leaving this header in leaks information about your users to various people. With the way that the Internet has evolved, hiding this information is now the right answer, much like hiding user IPs turned out to be the right call. If you need to know client and device usage information for your own purposes, log the header value before you delete it (but understand that not all clients may add it in the first place). (This information leaks not just to the people who your users send email to, but also to the people who operate the receiving email servers. These days that often means Google and Microsoft.) # ⚓ Tedium ☛ The_Squeal_of_Data⠀⇛ Today in Tedium: My favorite sound in computing is one that I haven’t actually had to use on a computer in nearly 20 years. The modem was a connection to a world outside of my own, and to get that connection required hearing the sounds of a loud, abrasive handshake that could easily be mistaken for Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music. I’d like to compare it to another kind of sound for a little bit—the noise of a “straight key” used for a telegraph. Both technologies, despite more than a century in age difference, seemingly turned data into sound, then into electrical pulses, and back into sound again. It’s no wonder, then, that you can actually trace the roots of the modem back to the telegraph, and later the teletype machine. Data and wires, simply put, go way back. And it’s not the only example of the telegraph’s quiet influence on modern computing. Today’s Tedium draws a line between the modern computer and the pulses that inspired it. — Ernie @ Tedium # ⚓ Unix Men ☛ How_To_Add_a_User_to_A_Group_in_Linux:_Easy Step-by-Step_Guide⠀⇛ Learning how to use groups is essential if you want to give users permission to read files, modify them, or create their own.   In this comprehensive tutorial, we walk you through the process of adding users to and removing them from a group in Linux.  # ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Using_Autocomplete_in_Vim⠀⇛ Vim is the text editor that made me highly productive in writing code and editing system configuration files.

When it comes to choosing the right proxy for your needs, considerations such as privacy, anonymity, speed and connection stability come into play. If you’re using Linux or Unix systems, you have the advantage of flexibility and compatibility with a wide range of proxy options. For privacy-conscious users or those engaged in data collection, proxies like residential proxies can provide a more authentic and anonymous browsing experience.  On the other hand, if your focus is on optimizing speed and connection performance, dedicated datacenter proxies are often the preferred choice. Linux and Unix users can easily configure and manage these proxies, leveraging the operating system’s robust networking capabilities. By understanding the unique advantages that Linux or Unix can offer in terms of proxy compatibility, you can choose the most suitable proxy type for your specific use case, whether it’s privacy-oriented tasks, high-speed activities like gaming or automation tasks. We look at the difference between residential and dedicated datacenter proxies, like the options Smartproxy offers. # ⚓ Open Source For U ☛ Did_You_Know_the_/var/log_Folder_in Linux_is_Telling_a_Story?⠀⇛ Sumerian writings and Egyptian hieroglyphs have one thing in common — both use pictorial signs to represent events, thoughts, or abstract ideas. The Sumerian language is said to be the oldest written language in existence, first attested about 3100 BCE in Southern Mesopotamia (currently Iraq). Hieroglyphs were the writing system used by ancient Egyptians. They date back to a similar time period. But what is so special about them? Well, they represent the time when man decided to keep written records for all the events taking place. Records prior to that were kept verbally, passed on from generation to generation in the form of songs or stories. However, note that keeping a record of events has always been important in the history of mankind. # ⚓ Beebom ☛ How_to_Change_the_Hostname_in_Linux⠀⇛ Linux users tend to use several technical jargon that originated from when the kernel was developed. Take Hostname as an example, which is a technical term for your PC’s name. Now, if you’ve been using computers and other smart gadgets, it’s easy to take a guess. But if you are a novice Linux user, changing the “hostname” might sound like a complicated adventure, but we’re here to help you. In this guide, let’s look at how to change the hostname in Linux. # ⚓ Beebom ☛ How_to_List_Groups_in_Linux⠀⇛ In Linux, every user is part of a collection known as a “group.” And for efficient system management, it is advised to regularly list and check all groups for the presence of any suspicious users. In this article, we will discuss the best methods to list all groups in your Linux system. # ⚓ Network World ☛ Using_PuTTY_to_connect_to_Linux⠀⇛ PuTTY is a great tool for connecting between systems of different types. In case you’re not familiar with the tool, the name has no connection to Silly Putty. Instead, the capitalization of the TTY part of the name suggests its connection with the acronym tty. It provides an easy way to log into a Linux system from Windows as well as many other systems. Say you want to log into your Linux system from a Windows system. This tool will allow you to set up a connection (IP address, host name, etc.) and control the size, colors and font to be used. This post explains how to set PuTTY up to optimize your view of the Linux command line. PuTTY was actually born on Windows to make this kind of connection possible. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ A_round-up_of_recent_Steam_Deck_news_for you⠀⇛ Have little time? Always on the go?

So here’s what you can get. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Proton_Experimental_fixes_up_Street_Fighter 6_and_other_games⠀⇛ For Steam Deck and Linux desktop, Valve has released another Proton Experimental upgrade focusing on fixing up bugs and regressions. They only just released an update for Proton Experimental on June 24th but they’re back again because more regressions are being found. # ⚓ Ars Technica ☛ The_Linux_coders_turning_the_ROG_Ally_and other_handhelds_into_Steam_Deck_clones [Ed: The original is cheaper, better, and has no Microsoft tax]⠀⇛ As soon as I was done with my review of the Asus ROG Ally, I grabbed my best USB stick and started looking for ISOs to download. Windows is, of course, the main highway to most PC gaming, but it’s also (as detailed in the review) not yet built to work well on a 7-inch gaming handheld. The ROG Ally ships with Windows (Home) installed and a bunch of Asus software, but it is still, at heart, a PC. With effort, you can get into the BIOS, disable Secure Boot, plug in a USB stick, and boot a USB stick with a live Linux distribution on it. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Zorin_OS_Finally_Fulfils_Users’_Biggest_Request⠀⇛ Yes, Zorin OS has finally delivered on the distro’s most requested feature. The new Zorin OS Upgrader tool, as I’m sure you can guess from the name alone, makes it possible to directly upgrade to new major versions of Zorin OS (e.g., Zorin OS 15 to Zorin OS 16) as well as Zorin OS editions (e.g., Zorin OS Core to Zorin OS Pro). o ⚓ LWN ☛ Armbian_23.05:_optimized_for_single-board_computers_ [LWN.net]⠀⇛ Running a Linux distribution on Arm-based single-board computers (SBCs) is still not as easy as on x86 systems because many Arm devices require a vendor-supplied kernel, a patched bootloader, and other device-specific components. One distribution that addresses this problem is Armbian, which offers Debian- and Ubuntu-based distributions for many devices. The headline feature in the recent release, Armbian 23.05, which came at the end of May, is a major rework of the build framework that has been made faster and more reliable after three years of development. Many Arm-based SBCs and development boards support Linux, but often the board manufacturer provides a heavily patched Linux kernel upon release and doesn’t maintain it for long. Not all manufacturers are like the creator of the Raspberry Pi that still supports the 11-year-old first model in the latest Raspberry Pi OS. Consequently, many users of other Arm SBCs end up with an outdated, unsupported kernel or a Linux distribution based on an end-of-life Debian version. The Armbian developers attempt to salvage these devices by porting the vendor’s patches to newer Linux kernels and supporting the devices in their Linux distribution as long as it’s viable. The Armbian project began in 2013 as a hobby project by Igor Pečovnik, when he created a script to build a Debian image for the Cubieboard SBC. While he was fixing problems and learning how to improve software support for the board, others joined him on the Cubieboard forums. By 2014, the project got its own web site and the name Armbian; the project’s goal has evolved to provide a Debian image for various Arm SBCs. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Jeff Geerling ☛ GPLv2,_Red_Hat,_and_You⠀⇛ The corporate license experts I talked to said the threat of termination of a subscription would not trigger the ‘no restrictions’ clause of the GPLv2, which deals with a copyright, not a contract. # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ You_Asked._We_Acted:_How_Red_Hat collects_and_utilizes_feedback_from_Red_Hat_Summit⠀⇛ This year’s Red Hat Summit took place in Boston, Massachusetts and was an opportunity for Red Hat customers and partners to learn, collaborate and gather together to shape the future of enterprise technology.  Not only did event attendees improve their knowledge through hands-on labs and one-on-one discussions with Red Hat subject matter experts, they also had a chance to provide feedback about their experience with Red Hat products. Through journey-mapping activities in the Experience Zone section of the Summit Expo Hall, to in-person roundtable interviews at our Executive Briefing Center (EBC), customers and partners had a number of opportunities to make sure their voice was heard.  # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Fully_automated_SAP_life_cycle_in regulated_and_restricted_environments⠀⇛ In this blog post, I look at the life cycle of SAP infrastructure and an upcoming call to action regarding SAP modernization. IT departments must adhere to policies in regulated and restricted environments, such as traceability through data traffic logging with access to provisioned services or data access. Here, I describe an architecture that introduces a fully automated SAP environment modernization across the entire life cycle—including Day 2 operations—that can help reduce infrastructure and labor costs. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Magazine ☛ Ubuntu_22.10_EOL_Is_Coming_Soon⠀⇛ On July 20, 2023, Ubuntu 22.10 (Kinetic Kudo) will no longer be supported. Users of that release are encouraged to either upgrade to the next non-LTS release (23.04) or do a fresh install of the latest LTS release (22.04.2). One thing to keep in mind is that the latest non- LTS release (23.04) is only supported through January 2024. But that’s the way of the Ubuntu non- LTS releases. Because of that, it might behoove you to migrate to the latest LTS release, which enjoys support through April 2032. # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Strengthen_your_cloud_cyber_security_with_Ubuntu Pro_and_confidential_VMs⠀⇛ In today’s digital landscape, organisations of all sizes have expanded their presence in the cloud. But with this expansion comes a significant increase in the attack surface, making security a top concern. In this blog, we will dive into the exciting world of cloud cyber security, and explore a stronger approach to securing your workloads with the help of Ubuntu. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ RIPE ☛ Embedded_IoT_Security:_Helping_Vendors_in_the_Design Process⠀⇛ With the number of IoT devices on track to exceed 30 billion within the next couple of years, CIS has created a resource that will help IoT vendors ease the process of building in security by design and by default. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Raspberry_Pi_is_in_every_primary_school_in Malaysia’s_largest_state⠀⇛ It’s really weird to think back to eleven years ago and the modest ambitions that Raspberry Pi founders Eben and Liz Upton had for a green, credit card- sized thing designed to get a few thousand more UK school children into computing. Fast forward to now, and we’re in every single primary school in Malaysia’s largest state. # ⚓ Arduino ☛ Predicting_soccer_matches_with_ML_on_the_UNO_R4 Minima⠀⇛ Based on the Renesas RA4M1 microcontroller, the new Arduino UNO R4 boasts 16x the RAM, 8x the flash, and a much faster CPU compared to the previous UNO R3. This means that unlike its predecessor, the R4 is capable of running machine learning at the edge to perform inferencing of incoming data. With this fact in mind, Roni Bandini wanted to leverage his UNO R4 Minima by training a model to predict the likelihood of a FIFA team winning their match. # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ Raspberry_Pi_Radiation_Monitor_Goes Wireless_With_Pico_W⠀⇛ The driving module behind this project is a GGreg20_V3 Geiger counter module. This device is able to detect radiation levels with data that can be read by separate modules like a Raspberry Pi Pico W. In this case, Sboger is using ESPHome to receive data from the Pico W and process it into a useful gauge graphic. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Much_Better_VGA_From_An_ESP32⠀⇛ The ESP32 series from Espressif have been a successful line of products, offering a powerful microcontroller with on-chip wireless networking. There’s a snag though in their practice of calling all of them ESP32s despite wildly varying specifications and even different processor cores, such that it’s easy to lose track of exactly what the chip in front of you can do. [Bitluni] was faced with updating his VGA library to include a newer variant, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it includes a far more capable display peripheral which enables significantly higher resolutions than previously. # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ The_Core3566_module_is_compatible_with_the Raspberry_Pi_CM4⠀⇛ Waveshare Electronics recently featured a computer module that combines versatile features with a compact form factor. The Core3566 integrates a Rockchip RK3566 processor running at 1.8GHz and a 0.8 Neural Processing Unit. # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Aries_Embedded_launches_MSMP1_SiP_for industrial_IoT_applications⠀⇛ Aries Embedded recently launched the MSMP1 that meets the Open Standard Module (OSM) guidelines. This embedded product is built upon the architecture of STMicroelectronics STM32MP1 family and offers a robust computing solution with single/ dual Cortex-A7 cores along with a Cortex-M4 coprocessor. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ ZDNet ☛ The_Pixel_8_could_bring_back_a_buzzword_that_was once_the_talk_of_the_tech_industry⠀⇛ The upcoming Pixel 8 phones could include a feature that might totally disrupt the desktop and laptop space and greatly benefit consumers. # ⚓ Hacker News ☛ Android_Spy_App_LetMeSpy_Suffers_Major_Data Breach,_Exposing_Users’_Personal_Data⠀⇛ # ⚓ Hindustan Times ☛ Xiaomi_Pad_6_brings_us_a_step_closer_to Android_tabs_as_productivity_hubs_–_Hindustan_Times⠀⇛ # ⚓ Express ☛ Nokia_is_back_with_a_new_phone_that_fixes Android’s_biggest_problem_|_Express.co.uk⠀⇛ # ⚓ Express ☛ Google_bans_5_popular_Android_apps_–_UK_phone owners_must_delete_them_|_Express.co.uk⠀⇛ # ⚓ Giz China ☛ Game_On!_Unleash_Your_Android’s_Gaming_Power with_These_Tips⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Sun ☛ Verizon_warns_all_Android_owners_over_three ‘battery-draining’_mistakes_–_change_your_settings_right_now |_The_US_Sun⠀⇛ # ⚓ TechCrunch ☛ Google_introduces_a_new_shop_tab_for_rentals and_purchases_on_Android_TV_|_TechCrunch⠀⇛ # ⚓ Engadget ☛ Android_TV’s_new_Shop_tab_lets_you_buy_movies from_different_providers_|_Engadget⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Android_TV_is_adding_a_tab_for_renting_and buying_movies_—_because_some_of_us_still_do_that_–_The Verge⠀⇛ # ⚓ Gadget Bridge ☛ Best_6_Methods_to_Fix_SSL_Connection_Errors on_Android_Phones⠀⇛ # ⚓ Digital Trends ☛ Nokia’s_newest_Android_phone_has_an unbelievably_cool_feature_|_Digital_Trends⠀⇛ # ⚓ Where_Are_My_Downloads_on_Android_Phone_–_Guiding_Tech⠀⇛ # ⚓ Evening Standard UK ☛ This_is_the_new_Android_logo_| Evening_Standard⠀⇛ # ⚓ Forbes ☛ Revolutionizing_Auto_Industry:_Android_OS Dominates_EV_Market⠀⇛ # ⚓ Indian Express ☛ Google’s_Android_TV_OS_gets_a_dedicated ‘shop’_tab_for_movie_rentals_and_purchases_|_Technology News,The_Indian_Express⠀⇛ # ⚓ Phone Arena ☛ Google_makes_it_possible_to_share_data_with your_own_sleeping_Android_phone_–_PhoneArena⠀⇛ # ⚓ 9to5Google ☛ The_new_Google_Home_app_shows_how_Android_apps should_work⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Google_is_giving_the_Android_robot_a_glow-up, and_you_may_have_already_seen_how_it_looks_–_The_Verge⠀⇛ # ⚓ 9to5Google ☛ Google_killed_Iris_smart_glasses,_opts_for Android_OEM_model_for_XR⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Police ☛ Android_14_may_let_you_bring_back_the_old taskbar_on_the_Pixel_Tablet_and_Pixel_Fold⠀⇛ # ⚓ Digital Journal ☛ App-Based_VoIP_Phone_Service_To_Measure Customer_Engagement_For_Android_Updated⠀⇛ # ⚓ 9to5Google ☛ Optimizing_Android_for_foldables_by_elevating the_notification_shade⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android_Auto_Message_Reading_Issue_Reported_by_Users⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Sun ☛ Confused_Android_owners_say_simple_change_has ruined_their_battery_life_–_be_very_careful_with_your_phone this_week_|_The_US_Sun⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Sun ☛ Android_users_are_just_realizing_3_reasons_why their_battery_is_draining_fast_–_check_settings_now_to_avoid disaster_|_The_US_Sun⠀⇛ # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Faster_Snapdragon_8_Gen_2_Is_Coming_to_More Android_Phones⠀⇛ * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ PostgreSQL_reconsiders_its_process-based_model⠀⇛ In the fast-moving open-source world, programs can come and go quickly; a tool that has many users today can easily be eclipsed by something better next week. Even in this environment, though, some programs endure for a long time. As an example, consider the PostgreSQL database system, which traces its history back to 1986. Making fundamental changes to a large code base with that much history is never an easy task. As fundamental changes go, moving PostgreSQL away from its process-oriented model is not a small one, but it is one that the project is considering seriously. A PostgreSQL instance runs as a large set of cooperating processes, including one for each connected client. These processes communicate through a number of shared-memory regions using an elaborate library that enables the creation of complex data structures in a setting where not all processes have the same memory mapped at the same address. This model has served the project well for many years, but the world has changed a lot over the history of this project. As a result, PostgreSQL developers are increasingly thinking that it may be time to make a change. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ The_Five_Whys_in_IT,_and_finding Rachelbythebay⠀⇛ But here’s the galaxy-brain realisation: my experience is if you ask enough times, almost everything ends up being caused by a whom, not a what. This is an entirely different kettle of fish, with it’s own set of challenges. A question about why a package wasn’t updated may eventually lead to management rejecting a funding proposal, which is outside the purview of an employee to address. This sucks, because guess who gets prescribed blame! Rachel touches on scapegoating in her post too. # ⚓ CBC ☛ Toronto_Star_owner_Nordstar,_Postmedia_discuss merger,_citing_‘existential_threat’_in_industry⠀⇛ Postmedia says the discussions so far are non- binding but that the proposed merger would see an even division of voting rights. Postmedia shareholders would hold a 56 per cent economic interest and Nordstar would hold 44 per cent. Nordstar would retain a 65 per cent interest in Toronto Star Inc. Bitove, owner of Nordstar, would be chairman of the merged entity, and Andrew MacLeod, chief executive of Postmedia, would be CEO. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ David Revoy ☛ Lenovo_Yoga_370_on_GNU/Linux:_technical companion_article⠀⇛ This blog post is a technical companion to the video I released last month: “My solution for Mobile digital-painting on GNU/Linux You can watch this video on: Peertube: https://peertube.touhoppai.moe/w/ oU74hKW7xGuAfVjrL4Kkoi Youtube: https://youtu.be/bIJ0yYDOHrw I’m going to give you my installation tips here to save you some time: [...] # ⚓ Beta News ☛ TUXEDO_InfinityBook_Pro_16_is_a_thin_and powerful_Linux_laptop⠀⇛ The 16:10 aspect ratio of the 16-inch display offers more vertical screen space, making it ideal for multitasking. The 2560 x 1600 resolution should make it a good choice for both photo and video editing. Gamers haven’t been forgotten either, with the display supporting NVIDIA’s G-SYNC and a 240Hz refresh rate. o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Reddit_is_telling_protesting_mods_their communities_‘will_not’_stay_private⠀⇛ Reddit is pressuring moderators who have set their subreddits to private to reopen their communities this week, according to messages seen by The Verge. The company has given moderators deadlines to lay out their plans for reopening but said that they can’t stay closed. The timeframes given generally indicate a deadline of sometime Thursday afternoon. Reddit was vague about the exact repercussions but seemed to suggest this was the final warning stage. # ⚓ Idiomdrottning ☛ Defederate_Meta?⠀⇛ While I do think servers should be FOSS and I do agree with the Franklin Street Statement, I was still reading Twitter and Tumblr and Blogspot and Angelfire and Geocities over RSS as if they were any other server. I think there is a mile of difference between those kinds of proprietary- backend, open-protocol–frontend sites vs a “log-in only” site like Instagram or Facebook or Google Plus. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Social_Media_App_Shuts_Down_After_Admitting_95% of_Users_Were_Bots⠀⇛ According to the report, app founder and CEO Abraham Shafi repeatedly claimed over the course of several years that the app boasted roughly 20 million users. The company raised nearly $200 million from the likes of SoftBank’s Vision Fund and Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, among others. Following a series of reports by The Information, which questioned the app’s advertised number of users, the company’s board of investors suspended Shafi and launched an investigation, ultimately revealing that IRL user figures were almost entirely fudged. As a result, the app is to shut down entirely, and capital is to be returned to investors. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Oracle_spending_‘billions’_on_Nvidia_chips this_year:_Chairman_Larry_Ellison⠀⇛ Oracle is also spending “billions” of dollars on Nvidia chips but even more on central processor units (CPUs) from Ampere Computing, a chip startup it has invested in, and Advanced Micro Device Inc, Ellison said at an Ampere event. o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Windows Central ☛ Microsoft_uncovers_cryptojacking_ploy used_to_breach_Linux_devices [Ed: Microsoft propaganda sites citing Microsoft as “security expert” to demonise Linux and distract from actual bacok doors in Windows. Oh, how Microsoft loves Linux… in this case, the_issue_is_bad passwords]⠀⇛ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Wednesday_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by Mageia (docker-docker-registry, libcap, libx11, mediawiki, python-requests, python-tornado, sofia-sip, sqlite, and xonotic), Red Hat (kernel, kernel-rt, kpatch- patch, libssh, libtiff, python27:2.7, python39:3.9, python39-devel:3.9, ruby:2.7, sqlite, systemd, and virt:rhel, virt-devel:rhel), SUSE (bind, cosign, guile1, lilypond, keepass, kubernetes1.24, nodejs16, nodejs18, phpMyAdmin, and sqlite3), and Ubuntu (etcd). # ⚓ Data Breaches ☛ HHS_Office_for_Civil_Rights_Settles_HIPAA Investigation_with_iHealth_Solutions_Regarding_Disclosure_of Protected_Health_Information_on_an_Unsecured_Server_for $75,000⠀⇛ HHS has announced another Security Rule enforcement action. This one involves iHealth Solutions (dba Advantum Health), a business associate. The incident involved an unsecured server where protected health information of patients was exfiltrated. The iHealth incident had been discovered by Kromtech Security and was first reported by DataBreaches on May 9, 2017. On May 10, DataBreaches reported and discussed iHealth’s response and statement. To DataBreaches’ surprise and irritation, on May 12, this site received legal threat letters from the hospital involved and iHealth. Lawyers at Covington and Burling jumped in to let the threatening parties know that their threats were … shall we say “inappropriate?” # ⚓ Data Breaches ☛ National_Student_Clearinghouse_notifies schools_of_MOVEit_breach [Ed: Windows TCO]⠀⇛ On June 24, DataBreaches reported that the National Student Clearinghouse was one of the victims of the MOVEit breach by Clop, In that report, DataBreaches stated that the clearinghouse’s statements to date had not indicated whether they had paid any ransom demand, but DataBreaches had learned that their name had been removed from Clop’s leak site, which is often an indication that a victim paid. DataBreaches emailed the clearinghouse on June 23 to ask for some straight answers about whether the clearinghouse had paid any ransom demand. They didn’t reply. DataBreaches repeated the inquiry on June 25. Again, there was no reply. # ⚓ Data Breaches ☛ ‘No_credible_evidence,’_Formal_complaint filed_against_local_doctor_at_center_of_alleged_cyber attack⠀⇛ The Oklahoma State Medical Board has filed a complaint against a local doctor who claims her clinic was the target of a cyber attack, leaving former patients unable to get their medical records. “It just makes me sick, what she has done to so many people and and seemingly doesn’t care,” said Amber Godfrey, a former patient. Godfrey suffers from severe allergies. She went to Dr. Amy Darter at the Oklahoma Institute of Allergy Asthma and Immunology for treatment. If she doesn’t get her regular scheduled shots, it’s hard for her to breathe. For months, the doors of the clinic have been closed with signs that said they’ve been hit by a cyber attack. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ EDRI ☛ Guarding_health_data_privacy_in_Europe:_The limits_and_challenges_of_current_regulations⠀⇛ This data ultimately contains profoundly personal information about an individual, such as their sexual orientation, gender identity, mental health, genetic information, and lifestyle choices. Protection of this information is critical as individuals may face discrimination if it is revealed publicly. Discrimination based on sexual orientation has a long history, and Poland and Hungary recently passed laws curtailing the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals. Abortion is illegal in all cases in Malta and highly restricted in Poland. An activist in Poland is currently facing up to three years in prison for helping a woman access abortion pills. There is still a tremendous stigma around mental health issues in many locales. Revelations of mental illnesses can lead to discrimination in housing and employment. # ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ Stalkerware_Vendor_Hacked⠀⇛ The stalkerware company LetMeSpy has been [breached]: [...] # ⚓ TechCrunch ☛ LetMeSpy,_a_phone_tracking_app_spying_on thousands,_says_it_was_[breached]⠀⇛ The phone monitoring app, which is used to spy on thousands of people using Android phones around the world, said in a notice on its login page that on June 21, “a security incident occurred involving obtaining unauthorized access to the data of website users​​.” “As a result of the attack, the criminals gained access to e-mail addresses, telephone numbers and the content of messages collected on accounts,” the notice read. # ⚓ EDRI ☛ Spotify_gets_fine_of_€_5_Million_for_GDPR violations⠀⇛ Following a noyb complaint and litigation over inactivity, the Swedish Data Protection Authoirty (IMY) has issued a fine of 58 Mln Swedish Crown (about € 5 Million) against Spotify. While users have a right to get access to all their data and information on the use of their data, Spotify did not fully comply with this obligation. The IMY was in charge of the case because Spotify has its main establishment in Sweden. The noyb complaint was joined with a complaint filed in the Netherlands by Bits of Freedom. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Defence Web ☛ ISS:_Boko_Haram_brings_IEDs_back_to Cameroon⠀⇛ Regarding military operations, two in particular – Harbin Zuma, led by the MNJTF, and Desert Sanity, led by the Nigerian Army – are putting the violent extremists in a difficult position. The extremists are increasingly retaliating with IEDs. On 14 May, MNJTF troops were hit by a double IED attack as they advanced towards an Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) camp in Tunbum Reza. Just two weeks earlier, on 29 April, Operation Desert Sanity troops recovered numerous IEDs intended to halt their advance in areas surrounding Ubaka in the Sambisa Forest. In addition, the insurgents were said to be planning to disrupt Nigeria’s electoral processes on 25 February and 11 March. However, the Nigerian Army had been preparing to contain this threat, which made it difficult for the insurgents to operate in the country during this period. IEDs intended for attacks were detonated in Cameroon, which is easily accessible given its porous borders. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Headscarves_in_women’s_football_spark_new_French secularism_debate⠀⇛ Last year, the country was engrossed by a legal battle sparked by efforts by the city of Grenoble to authorise the “burkini” — a full-covering bathing suit worn by some Muslim women — in municipal swimming pools. The Constitutional Council eventually ruled in favour of upholding a ban on the outfit. # ⚓ [Repeat] YLE ☛ Microsoft_buys_Vihti_land_for_12_million euros⠀⇛ The planned data centre in Vihti’s Rosti Business Park is part of Microsoft’s data centre area concept. When completed, it will consist of three separate and independently operating data centres that are synchronised with each other. Two other data centres are planned for Espoo and Kirkkonummi. # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ TikTok_Bankrolls_Influencers’_Lawsuit_Against Montana_Ban⠀⇛ Several of the creators who acted as the public face of the class action suit revealed TikTok had covered their legal expenses in a New York Times article published Tuesday evening. The creators claim TikTok bankrolled the suit but didn’t directly pay them for their involvement. Each of the creators listed on the suit have grown successful businesses and communities on the app. If Montana’s law is allowed to take effect in January 2024, their lives could be radically upended. Carly Goddard, a young mother and one of the influencers involved, told Gizmodo she would have to pack up and leave the state if the ban becomes law. # ⚓ AntiWar ☛ Daniel_Ellsberg_Is_Lauded_in_Death_by_the_Same Media_That_Lets_Assange_Rot_in_Jail⠀⇛ Rightly, there’s been an outpouring of tributes to Daniel Ellsberg following the announcement of his death last Friday, aged 92. His leaking of the Pentagon Papers in 1971 revealed that Washington officials had systematically lied for decades about US military conduct in Vietnam. o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ FAIR ☛ ‘What_the_Government_Permits_You_to_Know—That’s_Not a_Democracy’⠀⇛ It’s anyone’s guess how elite media square their supposed honoring of Ellsberg with their hagiography of undying goblin Henry Kissinger, who called Ellsberg, based on the exact actions the press now suggest they salute, the “most dangerous man in America.” And certainly don’t ask how their respect for Ellsberg relates to their collective sniffing at living whistleblowers like Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden or Julian Assange. Corporate media would like you to glide past their not-coherent stance on whistleblowers, how they can accept trophies for printing their revelations while consigning them to invisibility, and worse, for revealing them. Daniel Ellsberg had questions about that, and we should keep those questions alive. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ France24 ☛ France_badly_hit_by_climate_change_and_ill- prepared_for_its_effects,_warns_report⠀⇛ France is being badly hit by climate change, is not prepared for its effects and is failing to sufficiently reduce its emissions, an independent climate body warned Wednesday. # ⚓ CNN ☛ Former_Audi_CEO_Rupert_Stadler_gets_suspended_jail sentence_over_VW_diesel_scandal⠀⇛ Stadler is the first Volkswagen (VLKAF) board member to be sentenced in the affair, some four years after German prosecutors laid fraud charges against the executive. He entered a plea bargain with the court, confessing to his crimes in order to avoid spending time in jail. His sentence has been suspended for three years. # ⚓ Reuters ☛ Audi_ex-boss_becomes_first_VW_board_member sentenced_over_diesel_scandal⠀⇛ The ex-boss was fined 1.1 million euros ($1.20 million), which will go to the state treasury and non-governmental organisations, the court said. # ⚓ BBC ☛ Ex-Audi_boss_Stadler_avoids_jail_in_VW_emissions scandal⠀⇛ He is the first top manager to be tried and convicted as part of Dieselgate. German carmaker Volkswagen and its Audi subsidiary admitted at the time to using cheat software so their cars appeared less polluting in tests. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ NPR ☛ Why_building_public_transit_in_the_US_costs_so much⠀⇛ Transit projects in the United States come with astronomical price tags compared with similar projects done in other countries. But where exactly are the high costs coming from? Today, we take a trip to one of the most expensive subway stations in the world and get to the bottom of why American transit is so expensive to build. # ⚓ YLE ☛ Kajaani_pays_cyclists_to_film_cycle_paths_on app⠀⇛ Kajaani is crowdsourcing an inspection of the city’s cycle routes, with cyclists asked to download a mobile phone game with cash rewards. The mobile game is a fun and effective way to invite residents to survey the state of the streets, said the Kajaani city engineer Matti Jousiainen. The game launches on Saturday 1 July at 10 am and is open to everyone. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ India Times ☛ EU_proposes_payments_sector_shake-up,_legal backing_for_digital_euro⠀⇛ The package of European Commission reforms, which update decade-old rules, seek to prise open a payments market long dominated by banks and US duo Visa and Mastercard that are now being challenged by ‘fintechs’ offering rival services. # ⚓ France24 ☛ EU_to_take_next_step_towards_launching_digital version_of_euro⠀⇛ The move to create a digital version of the single currency began in 2020 when European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde suggested the idea and the Frankfurt-based body launched a public consultation. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ EDRI ☛ Encryption_protects_our_rights,_privacy_is_not_a crime⠀⇛ However, end-to-end encryption is currently under attack by prosecutors and legislators in France, the EU, the UK and the US. We are asked to choose, as a society: do we accept a future in which our private mail and communication can be intercepted anytime, in which we are treated as potential suspects? # ⚓ India Times ☛ Twitter’s_new_chief_working_on_plans_to_bring advertisers_back_to_platform⠀⇛ After Musk acquired Twitter in October, the social media firm faced months of chaos, including layoffs of thousands of employees, criticism over lax content moderation, and an exodus of many advertisers who did not want their ads appearing next to inappropriate content. # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ MIT Technology Review ☛ Humans_may_be_more_likely_to believe_disinformation_generated_by_AI⠀⇛ The research found that people were 3% less likely to spot false tweets generated by AI than those written by humans. That credibility gap, while small, is concerning given that the problem of AI- generated disinformation seems poised to grow significantly, says Giovanni Spitale, the researcher at the University of Zurich who led the study, which appeared in Science Advances today. # ⚓ [Repeat] RFA ☛ Planned_Chinese_law_would_mandate_the study_of_‘Xi_Jinping_Thought’_in_schools⠀⇛ According to draft legislation before the National People’s Congress, schools and organizations involving children and young people have a duty to carry out ideological and political education, including the Communist Party’s official version of history, national symbols, “national unity” and “national security,” state media reported this week. # ⚓ Greece ☛ Purported_Twitter_account_of_new_Foreign Minister_proves_to_be_hoax⠀⇛ A Twitter account purporting to belong to new Foreign Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis proved to be a hoax on Wednesday. The account seems to have been created by Italian hoaxer and journalist Tommasso Debenedetti. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ RFA ☛ Myanmar_junta_uses_Telegram_as_‘military intelligence’_to_arrest_online_critics⠀⇛ This is the new reality in post-coup Myanmar, where backers of the military regime regularly scour the internet for any posts they deem critical of the junta before using Telegram to report them to the authorities, activists say. Telegram has become a “form of military intelligence,” said Yangon-based protest leader Nang Lin. “It may look like ordinary citizens are reporting people who oppose the military, but that’s not true,” he said. “It’s the work of their informers. It’s one of the junta’s intelligence mechanisms. In other words, it’s just one of many attempts designed to instill fear in the people.” # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Verdict_in_sedition_trial_against Hong_Kong_outlet_Stand_News_set_for_October,_almost_a_year after_trial_began⠀⇛ Eu held that the editors should not be convicted for sedition as they sincerely believed their actions were deemed lawful at the time. # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Hong_Kong_nat._security_police arrests_man_over_‘seditious’_pro-independence_messages_on social_media⠀⇛ He also allegedly advocated Taiwan independence and Hong Kong independence, and “desecrated” the national flag and national anthem. National security police searched the man’s home and office with a court warrant, where officers seized electronic devices that were used to publish the “seditious messages.” # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Hong_Kong_nat._security_police arrests_man_over_‘seditious’_pro-independence_messages_on social_media⠀⇛ He also allegedly advocated Taiwan independence and Hong Kong independence, and “desecrated” the national flag and national anthem. National security police searched the man’s home and office with a court warrant, where officers seized electronic devices that were used to publish the “seditious messages.” # ⚓ NYOB ☛ Ireland_makes_questionable_GDPR_cases ‘confidential’._Irish_DPC_will_likely_use_Section_26A_to muzzle_criticism.⠀⇛ Despite profound criticism by civil society (ICCL, Amnesty, EDRi, BEUC) and hard push back in the Irish Parliament, Ireland has passed a law that will allow the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) to criminalize anyone sharing information about pending procedures. While the law is not clear and likely unconstitutional, it will be a tool to further terrorize complainants when they speak up against the Irish DPC. The law was requested by the DPC and aims at silencing non- profits. Despite the passing of this “lex noyb”, noyb will not limit legitimate public speech about cases it is engaged in. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ CPJ ☛ Turkish_journalist_Merdan_Yanardağ_arrested_over political_commentary⠀⇛ On Monday, June 26, police detained Yanardağ, chief editor for the critical online outlet and TV broadcaster TELE1, at the Istanbul studios of his outlet, after he criticized authorities over the prison conditions of Abdullah Öcalan, the convicted leader of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, which Turkey considers as a terrorist organization. On Tuesday, an Istanbul court ordered his formal arrest pending an investigation into charges of “making propaganda” for a terrorist organization. # ⚓ WSWS ☛ Der_Spiegel_asks:_“Is_the_CIA_hunting_Assange’s supporters?”⠀⇛ Summarising the material it collected, Der Spiegel writes: “At one point, a lawyer in London lost her laptop; at another, a journalist researching Assange’s case had medical data stolen. The office of Assange’s Spanish defence lawyers was broken into in a bizarre way. In Ecuador, a Swedish software developer has been held in the country for nearly four years on flimsy grounds. Elsewhere, Assange supporters who prefer to remain anonymous reported similar spooky incidents. “That they are connected cannot be proven. Nor has it been possible to determine the authors beyond doubt in any case so far. It could be a matter of coincidences. ‘But who is to believe that?’ asks Assange’s lawyer Aitor Martínez, who is certain that it is a concerted campaign by U.S. authorities, whose often dubious methods WikiLeaks has exposed quite a few times. ‘It’s a vendetta against Julian Assange,’ says the Spaniard. And the focus is not only on companions and family members of Assange, but also on lawyers and journalists, who by law should be particularly protected from wiretapping.” Several case studies are provided. # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ Thomson_Reuters_buys_digital_content library_business_Imagen⠀⇛ Reuters parent company Thomson Reuters has acquired Imagen, a digital content asset management company, for an undisclosed sum. Imagen owns video distribution platform Screenocean and runs digital content libraries serving clients including Premier League football and Major League Baseball. The company will become part of the Reuters News division. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ Sisters_tell_Australia_court_that abuse_by_Jewish_school_principal_broke_trust,_painful_to remember⠀⇛ Two sisters have told an Australian court that being sexually abused by their Jewish school’s principal broke their ability to trust forever and is painful to remember. Malka Leifer was convicted of rape and other crimes in April after years of fighting her extradition from Israel. She watched intently Wednesday as the two sisters read victim impact statements at her sentencing hearing. Prosecutors said Leifer abused them between 2003 and 2007 at the ultra-Orthodox girl’s school in Melbourne and other locations. The hearing is expected to continue Thursday and she likely will be sentenced later. Leifer was convicted of six charges of rape, each carrying up to 25 years in prison. # ⚓ CPJ ☛ CPJ_joins_statement_calling_for_EU_to_prioritize media_freedom_and_human_rights_in_relations_with_Turkey⠀⇛ The Committee to Protect Journalists joined 19 other journalists organizations and press freedom, human rights, and freedom of expression groups in a joint statement on June 28, 2023, urging the European Union to prioritize media freedom and human rights in dealings with Turkey, following May elections in which President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his Justice and Development Party-led alliance remained in power. # ⚓ Vintage Everyday ☛ Hanged_by_Mistake:_The_Tombstone Commemorates_George_Johnson,_a_Victim_of_Wrongful_Execution in_1882⠀⇛ It wasn’t until after his death that it was determined he had told the truth. These vintage photos captured the grave markers from the mid of the century; and the last image in the bottom is the current. The epitaphs on these markers serve as an exoneration of Johnson. He is buried in the Boothill Cemetery in Tombstone, Arizona. # ⚓ BIA Net ☛ Irainian_refugee_detained_during_İstanbul_Pride Parade_faces_deportation,_possible_death_sentence⠀⇛ During the 21st İstanbul Pride Parade on Sunday, more than 100 individuals were detained, including five people from Iran, Libya, Russia, Portugal, and Australia. The individual from Iran now faces the risk of deportation, and they could potentially be sentenced to death if returned to their home country. # ⚓ Modern Diplomacy ☛ Taliban_rule_has_been_a_disaster_for women_in_Afghanistan⠀⇛ Fourthly, the Taliban tighten repression, regularly does not respect human rights, and harshly cracks down on opponents of their ideology and regime. The Taliban actively and systematically violate the rights of national minorities and women of Afghanistan. UNAMA experts report “arbitrary arrests and detentions of journalists, human rights defenders and protesters.” There were 160 extrajudicial executions, 178 unjustified arrests, and 56 cases of former Afghan military and Government employees being tortured. In addition, 2106 victims were registered among ethnic and religious minorities (700 killed, 1406 wounded). # ⚓ Hindustan Times ☛ Pak_PM_‘Pulls’_Umbrella_From_Woman Officer_in_France;_She_Is_Drenched_In_Rain_|_Watch⠀⇛ A video of Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif taking an umbrella from a female officer escorting him and abandoning her in the rain has gone viral. [...] # ⚓ India Times ☛ Viral:_Pakistan_PM_Shehbaz_Sharif_takes_away the_umbrella,_leaves_woman_in_the_rain⠀⇛ # ⚓ FAIR ☛ NYT_Says_More_Worker_Suffering_Needed_to_Bring Inflation_Down⠀⇛ But don’t get too excited. The New York Times is here to tell you that inflation is still a problem, and more suffering for the working class is the solution. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ Groklaw ☛ Kajaani_pays_cyclists_to_film_cycle_paths_on app⠀⇛ Afterward, the participant’s videos are inspected and a computer vision model will analyse them to identify any surface cracks. The City of Kajaani has already completed a similar project mapping out the area’s road conditions using CrowdSorsa. Similar crowdsourced cycle lane inspections are also taking place in Forssa, Joensuu, Kirkkonummi, Parainen, and Ylöjärvi. o § Monopolies⠀➾ # ⚓ Matt Rickard ☛ Monopolizing_Useless_Resources⠀⇛ Rockefeller hired a German chemist, Herman Frasch, to figure out how to make this oil useful. In 1887, Frasch patented a process to eliminate sulfur from the Lima oils. Overnight, Rcokefeller’s 40-million barrel stock of cheap Lima oil skyrocketed in value. # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Music_Streaming_Services_Sell_Musicians Access_To_Their_Fans;_SoundCloud_Goes_A_Better_Way⠀⇛ Back in January, Walled Culture wrote about an interesting initiative by the German online audio distribution platform and music sharing service SoundCloud, with its Fan- Powered Royalties (FPR) approach. At the time, we noted that it was a kind of halfway house to the true fans idea this blog has promoted many times. We also pointed out that one of the major benefits of the FPR approach is that it provides detailed information about an artist’s true fans, which in turn allows more income to be generated from that audience segment, through targeted marketing of concerts, products and services. It seems that SoundCloud has understood this, as evidenced by its new “Fans” service, now open to some 50,000 artists, which builds on its earlier FPR move. Here’s how SoundCloud describes the idea: [...] # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Six-Month_Sentence_For_Sharing Pirated_eBooks_&_Paywalled_News_Articles⠀⇛ A man who shared copies of more than a thousand eBooks and articles obtained from a paywalled news site has been handed a six- month suspended sentence by a court in Denmark. Prosecutions for sharing paywalled articles are extremely rare but in this case supported by a laundry list of additional offenses including fraud and movie piracy. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ The_Pirate_Bay_Reopens_its_Doors_to New_Members_After_Four_Years⠀⇛ To combat spam and scammers, The Pirate Bay closed its doors to new members in May 2019. This temporary measure stayed in place much longer than expected but, starting this week, the notorious torrent site has reopened registrations. There’s one crucial caveat; prospective members must be manually approved by the site’s moderators. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 5126 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 06.29.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Gemini_Links_29/06/2023:_MIME_Lies_and_CAPCOM_Updates⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 12:55 am 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⠀➾ # ⚓ A_Peom_of_Sorts⠀⇛ Oh what beautiful words you think of When you go on a long walk Without a pen or paper # ⚓ Neurodiversity_Nevermind⠀⇛ Over the past couple years I have been slowly working on a write up in support of certain “neurodiversity” language. I’ve spent the last eleven years volunteering in an online mental health support group and I’ve seen how people have found the neurodiversity terminology and language useful to describe their experiences. But I have also seen how the neurodiversity _movement_ has erased lived experiences of neurodiverse people, those with mental health issues, and those who are assumed to be “neurotypical.” Judy Singer, who coined the specific term “neurodiverse” has stated that this is a state of the world, just like it is biodiverse. There is no “typical,” for we are all part of the diversity. She even has a later writing that actually calls out the movement for some of the issues I’ve mentioned as well as some others. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ MIME_Lies:_Indexing_Plain_Text_files_in_Kennedy⠀⇛ I recently enabled indexing plain text files for Kennedy, my search engine. The contents of plain text files are now indexed so you can search for them. Given the large libraries and mirrors present in Geminispace (Textfiles.com mirrors, RFCs, Amiga and Apple II archives), this adds a huge amount of content that can now be more easily discovered. 33,000+ more files are now indexed, representing about 10% of all documents! # ⚓ The_Unix_Way:_option_manager?⠀⇛ Linux command-line utilities are all-over-the-place when it comes to options that can be passed. There is a lot of history, but even so, is there a better way? The idea is to have small programs that handle one task well. But how can you make a small utility when parsing the commandline is a considerable project — one that you have to reimplement over and over? # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ CAPCOM_updates⠀⇛ Firstly, due to a file permissions error, it was not possible to submit new URLs for inclusion on CAPCOM for most of the month of June. Sorry! If you tried to submit a URL and were told “Error processing submission. Is this a valid URL?”, this was the reason. The issue is fixed, it is now possible to submit URLs again, and several have already been successfully registered. So, if your earlier attempts failed, now is a perfect time to try again! In a few days on July 1st, the new maintenance script will run for the third time. This means the many capsules in CAPCOM’s database which have gone permanently offline will hit “three strikes” and be reclassified as inactive. The odds of any given active feed being sampled for inclusion will then increase substantially. # ⚓ An_international_aggregator⠀⇛ I have written (primarily for my own use) a small Gemini aggregator. Why did I need another one? I am happy with Antenna, but it lists mainly articles in English. Certainly, this is just a reflection of the proportion of languages in the Geminisphere. Occasionally articles in other languages do appear, but they are a little hard to spot. For this reason I wrote a short script. It creates a list of pages, determining the language of each one automatically using a model provided by the fastText package. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software. It’s like the World Wide Web but a lot lighter. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 5273 ➮ Generation completed at 02:44, i.e. 137 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
