now that there are very serious breaches that expose entire nations Microsoft doubles down on the phony narrative_wherein_Microsoft_protects_users rather than spies on them (with back doors) Microsoft is at it again, spreading racism and misinformation. Don’t fall for it! As we noted here this morning, Microsoft_and_its_minions_seem_to_be_trying_to change_the_subject after a very high-profile blunder (Microsoft tries to change if not invert the narrative with “China”, as_usual). The president resigned abruptly and despite efforts to change the narrative the mainstream media (corporate press) habitually mentioned it was a Microsoft failure (despite the ‘casual xenophobia’ from Microsoft). “Canonical could be called out on its silence here.”“It seems that the major breach of the hosted e-mail was not only Microsoft’s fault,” one person said, but it’s rather revealing that they did not notice until federal authorities forced them to. Now, some weeks after the fact, they are begrudgingly admitting the problem but distracting from it by offering fake “security” tools [1, 2] as if security were an after-market add-on. Microsoft is not the answer, it is the question, to which the answer is, “no!” Linux distros and especially GNU/Linux distros need to be making hay. Canonical could be called out on its silence here. Microsoft is the culprit, not the solution, and what Microsoft now offers boils down to, “now you can log who takes advantage of Microsoft’s_back_doors…” This sales/PR stunt may mean there are many cancellations. The layoffs impacting over 1,000 workers last week (mostly in sales) mean it’s hard to make sales. As someone (probably from Microsoft) put_it_the_other_day: “Its a plan that we’ve seen before. US ingenuity to create something substantial like Azure…check. Make sure it has a solid foothold and large market share…..check. Run off the US talent and bring in the HB1’s to take their place….in progress now.” Azure always sucked, always had little adoption, and there were many layoffs there (for over 3 years already). Another comment there pointed out that the recent crises will make it hard to secure new contracts. █ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏

Deception, FUD, GNU/Linux, Microsoft at 2:20 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Feel the love in this week’s “news” (shameless self-promotion and FUD): 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Linux_Ransomware_Poses_Significant_Threat_to_Critical Infrastructure⦈_ Jon Miller Wait. Who wrote this? Oh. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Microsoft_Gold_Partner_Halcyon⦈_ Though it goes without saying, the Microsofters are writing on topics which they should be recused from due to conflict of interest. Summary: Microsoft’s minions have undertaken a FUD task; this like a blatant effort to shift attention and blame at a time when the whole “clown computing” ambition of Microsoft is at risk due to a massive security breach (exposing the United States government while the_president_resigns_abruptly). To be clear, 90%_or_95%_of_the_time_ransomware_is_a_Windows_issue. When they blame “Linux” they typically speak of some proprietary_VMware_issue or weak_passwords. ⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⢀⡀⢀⣀⡀⣀⣀⡀⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⢀⡇⡮⢷⠀⡇⡏⢸⠺⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠦⠤⠐⠀⣤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠲⠆⠒⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠉⠁⠈⠁⠈⠉⠁⠈⠉⠉⠁⠁⠈⠈⠁⠈⠀⠈⠀⠁⠁⠁⠊⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⣿⣻⡛⠟⠻⣿⣛⣟⣻⣻⣟⣟⢻⢛⡟⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣻ ⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⡟⡿⢿⡿⡿⡿⡿⣿⡟⡛⢿⢿⡿⡿⣿⠿⡿⢿⡿⠿⡿⡿⡿⣿⠿⢿⡿⣿⡿⣿⡟⢛⢻⠿⣿⠿⣿⠿⣿⠿⣿⠟⣛⡟⡿⠿⣿⢿⡟⠟⠛⣿⠿⡿⢿⣿⢿⡟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣚ ⣿⣿⣿⣇⣛⣇⣇⣇⣇⣃⣗⣔⣿⣇⣅⣏⣅⣇⣇⣧⣍⣅⣃⣇⣇⣆⣠⣡⣀⣏⣅⣇⣾⣨⣼⣇⣨⣼⣘⣸⣌⣁⣠⣦⣍⣿⣒⣂⣇⠂⡥⣀⣇⣇⣇⣇⣇⣺⣋⣀⣇⣇⣇⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣻⠿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⢿⣿⣿⠟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⡇⣦⠁⢰⡑⢬⠲⢸⠰⣿⡆⠎⠦⣹⣇⠿⠇⢰⢸⠀⡇⡇⠶⠲⢸⠸⣿⢸⢰⠈⠀⡆⣶⠲⢸⠐⢂⢰⢰⡆⠇⡇⠶⡆⠆⠻⠀⢰⡁⠦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣟⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⡿⣿⠿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⠿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠂ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣾⣾⣿⣾⣾⣷⣾⣷⣷⣷⣾⣷⣿⣷⣷⣿⣷⣾⣿⣶⣾⣿⣷⣷⣶⣾⣿⣾⣿⣾⣶⣾⣷⣿⣶⣷⣾⣾⣷⣿⣷⣷⣶⣿⣾⣷⣾⣾⣷⣷⣷⣷⣷⣶⣿⣿⣾⣾⣾⣾⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣽⣿⣭⣯⣯⣿⣧⣿⣿⣯⣽⣷⣧⣽⣿⣽⣼⣽⣽⣯⣿⣿⣽⣽⣽⣿⣯⣿⣿⣽⣿⣽⣧⣿⣿⣽⣿⣽⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣯⣽⣽⣽⣿⣧⣿⣿⣯⣯⣥⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⣟⣿⣟⢿⣿⢟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⠉⢀⡄⠉⢻⣿⠛⠛⢻⠛⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠉ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡛⢛⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢠ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⣰⣴⣦⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣯⣿⣥⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⢸ ⣿⣿⣿⡟⡛⣛⠛⠛⢛⢋⡛⡛⠛⠛⣛⠛⡛⣛⠛⡛⢛⢛⡛⢛⢛⡛⢛⢛⡛⠛⠛⡋⠛⢙⡛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢛⠛⡛⢛⠛⡛⣛⠛⡛⠛⠛⡛⢛⢛⡛⢛⢛⡛⣛⠛⡛⣛⢛⡛⢛⢛⡛⢛⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠇⢇⠸⡀⢹⠸⡀⢇⠀⠇⢅⠈⡇⢧⠈⠇⠹⠨⠄⠹⠀⠡⠙⢀⠇⠉⠈⠀⠁⢀⠇⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⡰⠰⠸⡸⠃⠃⠇⠇⠈⠇⠁⠈⠆⠹⠸⠀⠹⠸⠀⠇⠈⠇⠧⠸⠄⠸⠨⠄⠩⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣛⣛⠇⣼⣿⢿⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣥⣴⡄⢻⣴⣬⣤⣷⣏⣦⣤⣿⣿⣷⣦⣧⣦⣧⣦⣤⣦⣼⣽⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠿⠿⠿⠷⠾⠷⠿⠿⠷⠾⠷⠾⠿⠷⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠷⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⢀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⢡⢾⠀⢠⠀⢰⠂⡆⠢⠢⠄⡆⢠⢸⢸⠀⠀⡇⠀⡄⠂⡆⡇⡆⢺⠀⢸⠔⢠⢴⢰⠂⡇⢰⠀⡄⡦⠆⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠈⠁⠈⠁⠈⠁⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠉⠀⠈⠀⠁⠈⠀⠀⠈⠀⠈⠁⠈⠀⠈⠈⠀⠁⠈⠁⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶ ⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⡿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⢿⠿⢿⡿⠿⢿⢿⢿⠻⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⡿⣿⣿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⡿⡿⢿⠿⡿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣷⣷⣿⣶⣿⣷⣾⣿⣾⣾⣶⣿⣿⣾⣿⣾⣾⣿⣷⣿⣿⣷⣿⣷⣷⣷⣾⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 605 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2023/07/20/microsoft-layoffs-misinformation/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2023/07/20/microsoft-layoffs-misinformation/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 07.20.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Misinformation:_The_Media_is_Already_Turning_Over_1,000_Additional_Microsoft Layoffs_Into_Just_1,000⠀✐ Posted in Deception, Microsoft at 7:31 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz The original (scoop, leak): 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Report_on_Microsoft_layoffs:_more_than_1000⦈_ Misleading follow-ups below.

07.20.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Windows_Ruining_Firefox_for_GNU/Linux_Users⠀✐ Posted in Free/Libre_Software, GNOME, GNU/Linux, Microsoft, Security, Windows at 12:00 am by Guest Editorial Team Reprinted with permission from Ryan One of the top crashers on Firefox 115 is Windows_malware_interfering_with Firefox_in_a_particular_way. On TechRights IRC, Roy Schestowitz sums it up. “Many firefox bug fixes are like that. They release security patches (and new blobs) but they address windows problems.” I interjected, “Sticking your finger in the holes in the dam.” Roy continues, “So a gnu/linux user needs to get another 200MB of junk.” What makes it worse is that Fedora not only has this colossal piece of shit called GNOME Software that demands a restart, of the entire computer, even over a Firefox update, but that they stopped producing Delta RPMs so you have to download the full 200 MB of shit that hasn’t changed, to keep their version number in sync with Windows. Roy notes that some of these crap patches for Windows bugs (bugs IN WINDOWS) cause Firefox to malfunction on Linux and jam up. Also notes that Mozilla hires “Mac heads instead of software developers.”. But it’s so much worse than that. They fired 250 people who were working on Gecko and redirected others to develop adware and spyware and nag screens under a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Supervisor. One of my top complaints about the gnome-desktop metapackage (Fedora doesn’t have meta-packages as such, thank god) in Debian, was I couldn’t apt remove firefox without it wanting to take out a bunch of other stuff….or install another shitty browser I didn’t want. Chromium. Stopping to deal with several hundred MB of RPMs and a third of it is Firefox playing bullshit version bump because Windows malware makes it crash, is very very frustrating. However, in Fedora you _can_ dnf remove firefox. They haven’t managed to bungle this, although I suppose I should not give them ideas. Most of the time I’m not on the fastest possible VPN server because I usually route my Internet connection through European countries where they treat people fairly well instead of the United States. They run a lot of ads to try to convince Americans we don’t need VPNs or private browsing modes, and only a crank doesn’t like Windows (which is failing), but we know where this advice comes from. I love operating systems (like Windows and Mac) that get in my way with “code signing” and then you find out that there’s this Chinese thing that signs whatever using an expired certificate, fakes the signature timestamp, and then runs the code. Then you look at the Time Stamp Authority using Windows Explorer and the fucker says “Fake Time Stamp”. It’s barely worth trying to secure your computing practices and then_leave_a mess_like_this_as_your_operating_system. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Primo_forged⦈_ “Despite the warning displayed in the digital signature details above, the cracked driver for PrimoCache still functions properly when installed on Windows 10. […] Microsoft, in response to our notification, has blocked all certificates discussed in this blog post. […] Microsoft implements and maintains a driver block list within Windows, although it is focused on vulnerable drivers rather than malicious ones. As such, this block list should not be solely relied upon for blocking rootkits or malicious drivers.” -Talos Intelligence Since the operating system warns about the tampering and runs it anyway (allowing it to patch the kernel and become a rootkit), the only way to view this is “Microsoft wanted to promote ‘security’ and leave a huge gaping backdoor in for three letter agencies.” And you notice that nowhere did Microsoft change the policy or actually fix the issue, they only made it so you can’t use the example certificates that Talos Intelligence cited. Windows is a giant festering mess and since Mozilla kowtows and sucks up to them and spends almost all of their remaining development effort working around its many glaring design flaws, I don’t want this particular Windows chocolate in my Linux peanut butter. Firefox is pretty garbage anyway as a “cross platform” program that’s mainly focused on Windows. I strongly prefer to leave GNOME Web in the background while I mainly use SeaMonkey with sanity-preserving add-ons. At least the people who work on these projects actually use them and mostly focus on Linux. Lately when I open a Mozilla-ish browser it tends to be LibreWolf, from Flatpak (which has a Delta RPM-like update anyway) and then I grab some videos or something using video download helper and close it again. A while back, (I read in the release notes) Mac OS broke SeaMonkey due to yet another bug in Apple’s kernel, but the problem was confined to….well….whatever special kind of nutbag uses a Mac and appreciates some of SeaMonkey’s unique functionality. Using SeaMonkey productively is starting to require a lot of special knowledge. One of the reasons I still use Fedora is they start out with a ton of patches that are out-of-tree and fix some of the roughness. Ironically, I have to revert back to using GNOME Web or LibreWolf just to edit my blog since WordPress put some more Googleshit in their editor, which used to work fine with Web standards. I also recently went back to paper statements with the electric company (no fee for that) and told the lady it was because ComEd switched to Microsoft Azure (corruption, bribery) and now it was putting Google Chrome nonsense and bastard JavaScript in their site that SeaMonkey simply does not understand. Things are getting worse, not better. But for email, IRC, and most of my browsing it works fine. The tab management code is largely so old it dates back to Firefox 1.5 and 2, and amusingly it can open and close tabs faster and much more responsively (I have an eleventh generation Core i7)than Firefox! There should not be jank in a browser on a system as new as mine, and yet there is. The mentality of Google and Mozilla is to just throw more shit in there and make the pile higher. The more the better. Then nobody but a “trillion dollar tech company” subsidized by the US spy agencies can build a browser. I recently reported the security vulnerability I found on Discover Bank’s Web site to Mozilla since it seems to be an issue in Gecko that sloppy Javascript programmers at the bank stumbled into. I didn’t bother hiding the bug because I believe people should know about these things. Here’s_the_bug. Here’s an archived_version in case Mozilla tries to hide it later. While they’re off worried about the millions of Windows malwares crashing their shit, they can’t bother to fix real issues, so we’ll see if this report turns into ANOTHER Bugzilla ghost town or what. █ ⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀ ⠀⢸⡟⡟⠻⡛⠛⡟⡏⣟⠿⢟⠛⡻⠻⢛⡟⠛⠻⡟⡟⠟⠟⠟⢿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⠋⣽⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⢸⣷⣶⣦⣤⣶⣶⣷⣷⣶⣧⣴⣷⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣷⣾⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⠁⠋⢫⠋⢋⠉⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⢰⠶⠶⣆⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⡿⢿⣿⢿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⢸⠀⣀⠀⠁⠰⣿⣿⣿⣯⣤⣄⣠⣤⣤⣼⣤⣤⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣦⣼⣤⣤⣴⣤⣴⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠈⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠏⢿⠛⠛⡛⠛⠙⠛⢛⣿⢛⠛⠛⡋⠉⢛⠛⠛⢻⠙⢻⢛⢛⢛⡟⠛⠉⢙⠙⡻⡏⠛⢻⠛⠛⠉⠋⠉⠛⣿⡛⠛⡋⠛⢛⣟⠟⢛⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⠾⠾⠾⠒⠶⠲⠶⢷⡷⠿⠶⠖⠾⠾⢷⠲⠶⠶⡾⠶⠾⠾⠷⠷⠳⡷⠶⠾⠳⠿⠷⢶⠾⠻⠶⠶⣶⠶⢷⡿⠺⠾⡷⠖⠶⠿⠶⠟⠶⠶⠾⠿⡟⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠷⠶⠾⡶⠔⠶⠦⡼⡶⣦⠐⠲⢶⣶⣾⣶⣷⣶⣷⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⣶⣷⣦⣶⣶⣶⣷⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣾⣷⣶⣶⣿⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣶⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣧⣤⣧⣤⣠⣤⣤⣬⣿⣤⣤⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡟⡏⠉⠛⢛⠛⢛⡏⢛⢋⠛⠛⢛⠛⠛⠙⠛⢛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣻⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⡉⠛⢛⡛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡠⠐⠒⢒⡒⢐⠖⢒⣶⢰⡖⠒⡒⠒⠂⠒⠒⠐⢰⡄⠔⢖⣒⢖⠒⠂⠒⠒⠒⡖⣄⡲⣶⡆⡖⢒⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣾⣷⣾⣿⣶⣶⣼⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣷⣷⣶⣾⣾⣶⣶⣶⣴⣼⣿⣶⣾⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣒⣅⣶⣁⣀⣗⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣀⣉⣉⣏⣉⣉⣁⣈⣁⣁⣉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⠛⠻⠿⠛⠟⢟⢿⠛⠿⡻⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠉⠭⢭⠍⠭⠭⠭⠍⠭⠭⣭⡍⡭⠭⠍⣭⠉⠉⣭⡍⢍⡍⠍⣭⠉⠍⠉⠩⢍⢍⢭⠉⠩⢩⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣶⣦⣴⣷⣾⣤⣾⣶⣶⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠴⠴⠴⠥⠧⠤⠴⠥⠤⠴⠽⠴⠤⠦⠧⠿⠵⠴⠽⠥⠮⠧⠷⠿⠵⠵⠴⠼⠮⠮⠾⠼⠴⠼⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡟⡏⠝⠛⠟⡛⠙⠛⠛⠙⠛⡛⠛⠛⠛⡛⠛⣟⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣻⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠷⠾⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⠉⠛⠛⡛⠛⡟⠋⣹⠋⢛⢛⠟⢛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣯⡍⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢛⡛⡛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⡟⠒⠒⠚⠓⠒⠓⠒⠛⠒⠒⠚⠒⠚⠚⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠛⠓⠒⠚⠒⠒⠒⠚⠓⠒⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣧⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣽⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠸⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1011 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 07.20.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Gemini_Links_20/07/2023:_Cuttlefish_and_Antenna⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 8:30 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal/Opinions o Politics_and_World_Events o Technology_and_Free_Software # Internet/Gemini * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ Playing_catch_up_text_ball⠀⇛ Several nights ago while laying on my back in bed en route to falling asleep, meditation upon a bit of “spiritualish” verbiage preceded (word chosen over “caused” because I don’t know how/why what follows happened) several seconds of the absence of conceptuality, an am-ness sans any representational aspect, e.g. words, description. # ⚓ Have_you_seen_something_you_can’t_explain?⠀⇛ I’ve been interested in the paranormal, cryptids, and unexplained phenomena all my life. Some of my favorite shows growing up were the crappy melodramatic paranormal hunting shows like Ghost Adventures and Finding Bigfoot. I still will watch an episode here or there, more so Finding Bigfoot than anything else just as a little comfort show. I would rent out any books I could find about sasquatch at my local library growing up, though it was quite a small selection. For a number of years, after fifth grade, my interest subsided and I didn’t give hairy hominids or bumps in the night much thought. Then I stumbled upon the podcast Jim Harold’s Campfire, where people call in about mysterious events that had happened to them. I loved the show and would listen to peoples’ stories for hours on end. Now this interest has maintained into adulthood and if anything seems to be growing as I get older, though I always thought it would go away someday. # ⚓ cuttlefish⠀⇛ last month i spotted a cuttlefish (30 cm) in about 2 m of water; visibility only about 3 m that day. this week i was fortunate to observe another cuttlefish in about 1.5 m of water; visibility about 5 m. the cuttlefish was hanging around a clump of seaweed, and after a minute or so moved off. i started to follow but because it was speeding up i stopped following because i didn’t want to chase it. live and let live. a few small fish then came out from the seaweed; safer now that the cuttlefish had moved on. o § Politics and World Events⠀➾ # ⚓ Oxymoronistic_tinylog⠀⇛ “…even highly educated persons … continue to put their trust in media outlets that do not deserve our trust. … Indeed, it takes temerity to realize that our own politicians and media lie to us, that they are purveyors of dis-information and practitioners of Orwellian doublethink.” o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Antenna_Instance⠀⇛ So I recently got an antenna instance up and running, and I’m primarily writing this entry to ensure it works, and then I’ll add more to it. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

We kept the banter friendly, the conversation somewhat on topic, and had fun doing it. # ⚓ The BSD Now Podcast ☛ BSD_Now_516:_Computer_Time_Origins⠀⇛ o § Graphics Stack⠀➾ # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Portal:_Prelude_gets_an_NVIDIA_RTX remaster,_plus_NVIDIA_announced_RTX_IO⠀⇛ NVIDIA has announced another game to use NVIDIA RTX Remix to add in full Ray Tracing, this time it’s a mod for the original Portal with Portal: Prelude RTX. Portal: Prelude is the highest rated mod for the original Portal and back in 2008 it came number 3 on Mod DB’s Mod of the Year contest. To play it free, you need to own the original Portal. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Links ☛ 11_Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Linux_Video Converters⠀⇛ Please be aware that if you’re converting videos from YouTube, that’s against Google’s terms of service. And it’s also likely to be illegal as it constitutes a breach of copyright unless the copyright holder has given explicit consent, or the video is published under an open source license. Here’s our verdict on the best free video converters. They are each published under an open source license. While VLC and mpv are primarily multimedia players they also offer conversion functionality. # ⚓ OMG!

Modern higher end Intel desktop CPUs have a split core model, with a mix of better ‘performance’ cores and more power efficient ‘efficient’ cores. The ‘efficient’ cores are lower performance and don’t have hyperthreading. In the case of the i9- 13900K, the split is 8 performance and 16 efficient cores; with hyperthreading on, you have 8 performance cores, 8 extra logical CPUs from the hyperthreads on those cores, and then 16 efficient cores, for a total of 32. # ⚓ James G ☛ Build_a_website_in_an_hour_event⠀⇛ I will be hosting a “Build a website in an hour” event on July 29th at 5pm UK time (9am PT). Here is the event description: [...] # ⚓ Manuel Matuzovic ☛ Visually_hidden_links_with_0 dimensions⠀⇛ If you have used a visually-hidden class in the past, you might have noticed that the width and height is set to 1px and not 0. I’ve always wondered why. Even in James Edwards’ “The anatomy of visually- hidden” I didn’t find the answer because he wasn’t sure either. While testing a client’s site a few minutes ago, I found at least one good reason. # ⚓ Diziet ☛ Installing_Debian_bookworm_without_systemd⠀⇛ This is pleasingly straightforward, albeit with an ugly wart. This recipe was not formally developed and tested; it’s just what happened when I tried to actually perform this task. The official installation guide has similar instructions although they don’t seem to have the initramfs workaround. # ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Using_Until_Loop_in_Bash⠀⇛ Loops are fundamentals of any programming language and so for the bash. # ⚓ Ubuntubuzz ☛ What_To_Do_After_Installing_Debian_12 Bookworm⠀⇛ This advisory tutorial will help your first time using your computer powered with Debian 12.

It is very necessary to find unnecessary junk and free it up from your hard disk. This brief tutorial describes how to find the largest files and folders in the Linux file system using the du (disk usage) and find commands. If you want to learn more about these two commands, then head over to the following articles. # ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Create_and_Use_Alias_Command_in_Linux⠀⇛ Linux users often need to use one command over and over again. Typing or copying the same command over and over again reduces your productivity and distracts you from what you are supposed to be doing. You can save yourself some time by creating aliases for your most commonly used commands. Aliases are like custom shortcuts that represent a command (or set of commands) that can be executed with or without custom options. Chances are you are already using aliases on your Linux system without even knowing it. # ⚓ How_to_find_SAN_LUN_Mapped_to_VxVM_Disk_in_Linux⠀⇛ We’ve written several articles in the past to find LUN ID mapped to Block device/disk… # ⚓ OSTechNix ☛ How_To_Allow_Or_Deny_Sudo_Access_To_A_Group_In Linux⠀⇛ This step-by-step tutorial explains how to allow or deny sudo access to a group in Linux for improved Linux security and efficient group management. # ⚓ How_to_Install_Plex_Media_Server_in_Ubuntu⠀⇛ Are you looking for a guide to installing the Plex Media Server on your Ubuntu 22.04 or Ubuntu 20.04?

It is the oldest Linux distribution that is still in active maintenance and development. Version 1.0 of Slackware was announced on the July 16, 1993, and project lead Patrick Volkerding, who still maintains the distribution today, celebrated with a modest announcement… o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Red Hat ☛ New_Delve_features_in_RHEL_9.2⠀⇛ Delve, the Go debugger, ships with the go-toolset package in Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux (RHEL). The go- toolset package in RHEL 9.2 contains Delve version 1.9.1, which contains many improvements and features. Delve 1.9.1 is also the last release to contain the old versioning scheme; new releases of Delve will mirror the corresponding Go release . versioning, only diverging for point releases. So, for example, the latest release of Delve is 1.20.x which corresponds to the 1.20.x release of Go. Delve releases a new minor version when the Go project releases a new version’s first RC (Release Candidate). Once that version of Go is released in RHEL, the corresponding version of Delve is also released. # ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_balance_per-CPU_upcall_dispatch_mode_in Open_vSwitch⠀⇛ Open vSwitch has moved away from using per-vport dispatch mode to using per-CPU dispatch mode. But this mode had issues with upcall handler thread imbalance and CPU mismatch error messages. These issues were mostly found in systems with tuned CPUs. This article explains two main fixes that my patch series applied to Open vSwitch that alleviated these issues. The first fix resulted in the ovs- vswitchd sending an array of a size that the Open vSwitch kernel module will accept and not trigger the CPU mismatch error message. The second fix added additional upcall handler threads in cases of tuned CPUs to create a more balanced workload for the upcall handler threads. # ⚓ Red Hat ☛ What’s_new_in_the_Red_Hat_UBI_OpenJDK containers⠀⇛ On June 6, we shipped the latest feature update to the OpenJDK containers with a number of new features: [...] # ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_retrieve_packet_drop_reasons_in_the_Linux kernel⠀⇛ Understanding why a packet drops in the Linux kernel is not always easy. The networking stack is wide and reasons to refuse a given packet are multiple and include invalid data from a protocol, firewall rules, wrong checksum, full queues, qdisc or XDP actions, and many more reasons. It is possible to look at indicators such as MIB counters and statistic counters, but often those are generic and triggered for different reasons, but most importantly their coverage is small, and it’s impossible to match a specific packet to a given counter increase.  o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Jonathan Dowland ☛ Jonathan_Dowland:_Bea’s_3D_printer⠀⇛ My daughter Beatrice asked for me to print her a 3D printer. # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Unitree_new_quadruped_robots_start_at $1600⠀⇛ Today, Unitree unveiled their latest quadruped robot, the Unitree Go2. This robot comes packed with advanced features, including a 4D LIDAR sensor, a depth camera, and Wi-Fi6 connectivity. Additionally, the Unitree Go2 features an increased payload capacity in comparison to its predecessor. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ DIY_All-Flash_NAS_Vs._Commercial_Hardware⠀⇛ [Jeff Geerling] has tried building his own network- attached storage before, but found that the Raspberry Pi just wasn’t able to keep pace with his demands. He’s back with a new all-flash NAS build, and put his new design to the test against proper store-bought gear. # ⚓ The DIY Life ☛ PET_Bottle_Recycler_Part_1_–_Using_An Arduino_Uno_R4_To_Control_A_3D_Printer’s_Hotend⠀⇛ Today we’re going to be using the new Arduino Uno R4 WiFi to build a controller for a PET bottle recycler. I’m doing this as the first part of a project, working towards building my own version of a PET bottle recycler to produce filament for my 3D printer. # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Yahboom_DOFBOT_6_DoF_AI_Vision_robotic_arm for_Jetson_Nano_sells_for_$289_and_up⠀⇛ Robotic arms can be expensive especially if you want one with AI Vision support, but Yahboom DOFBOT robotic arm designed for NVIDIA Jetson Nano offers a lower cost alternative as the 6 DoF robot arm sells for about $289 with a VGA camera, or $481 with the Jetson Nano SBC included. We previously published a review of the myCobot 280 Pi robotic arm from Elephant Robotics, and while it’s working well, supports computer vision through the Raspberry Pi, and is nicely packaged, it sells for around $800 and up depending on the accessories, and one reader complained the “price tag is still way too high for exploration“. # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ Raspberry_Pi_Pico_Powers_Surveillance Robot_with_LabVIEW_Interface⠀⇛ Mohammad Reza Sharifi has made a wireless Raspberry Pi Pico surveillance robot that uses a custom GUI made with LabVIEW. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Intel_gives_ASUS_a_license_to_carry_on Intel_NUC_systems⠀⇛ After news recently from ServeTheHome that Intel planned to stop doing their Intel NUC systems directly, they’ve now announced they’ve agreed to let ASUS carry it on. # ⚓ [Repeat] Tom’s Hardware ☛ Linux_Foundation_Creates_Ultra Ethernet_Consortium_with_Cisco,_Microsoft,_AMD_and_More⠀⇛ Dr. J Metz is Chair of the Ultra Ethernet Consortium and stated that there is no need to overhaul Ethernet, but instead, the team hopes to make adjustments over time that will improve efficiency. So far, a few specific technical hurdles have been identified, which the consortium intends to focus upon. This involves the development of APIs and specifications for various Ethernet communication protocols, interfaces and data structures to suit the needs of high-performance technology better. # ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Leica_MPi:_a_Pi_Zero_retrofit_camera⠀⇛ He managed to couple the original Leica range finders with the Raspberry Pi Zero and HQ Camera, so users get the feel of manually adjusting the focus. He couldn’t save the High Quality Camera’s anti-aliasing filter, however, as it kept getting caught on the new shutter, so the MPi only photographs in monochrome and natural light. It is still possible to correct photos taken under harsh street lighting with white balance. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o ⚓ Terence Eden ☛ Fediverse_Account_Portability_And_Blocking⠀⇛ What happens to the people who blocked and muted you? I ran an extremely scientific poll on Mastodon: [...] Yeah… No one knows and there’s no real consensus. o § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ # ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ curl_8.2.0⠀⇛ the 220th release [...] # ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ HTTP_has_become_the_default, universal_communication_protocol⠀⇛ Back when I wrote about how the mere ‘presence’ of a URL on a web server wasn’t a good signal, I casually mentioned that you were more likely to have everything answered with a HTTP 200 status on things that weren’t really ‘web servers’ as such, but which were just using HTTP. You might ask why you’d use HTTP if you weren’t a web server, and the answer is straightforward and widely known: HTTP has become the de facto default communication protocol. Today, if you need to create a system where you pull some information from something or push some information to something, you’re most likely to use HTTP for this purpose. In the process, the software may be coded in such a way that it provides a default answer to nearly everything. # ⚓ DaemonFC (Ryan Farmer) ☛ One_of_the_top_crashers_on_Firefox 115_is_Windows_malware_interfering_with_Firefox_in_a particular_way._Bonus:_Windows_“Security”_FAIL,_Linux_Web Browsing.⠀⇛ Roy notes that some of these crap patches for Windows bugs (bugs IN WINDOWS) cause Firefox to malfunction on Linux and jam up. Also notes that Mozilla hires “Mac heads instead of software developers.”. But it’s so much worse than that. They fired 250 people who were working on Gecko and redirected others to develop adware and spyware and nag screens under a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Supervisor. # § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Xe’s Blog ☛ Mozilla_wants_its_documentation_to gaslight_you⠀⇛ Mozilla is one of the most important companies on the Internet. For a very long time, they have represented the only real competitor that Microsoft and Google have had as far as web browsers go. Mozilla is widely seen as a force for good by vast numbers of the developer community, but they seem to be torching all that good will by just giving up. o § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ LibreOffice_7.5.5_Open-Source_Office_Suite Released_with_70_Bug_Fixes⠀⇛ LibreOffice 7.5.5 is here about one and a half months after the LibreOffice 7.5.4 point release to address a total of 70 bugs that have been reported by users or discovered by the LibreOffice developers in the LibreOffice 7.5 series. Meanwhile can download the LibreOffice 7.5.5 release right from the official website as binary installers packaged by The Document Foundation for DEB or RPM-based GNU/Linux distributions. Source tarballs are also available for system integrators and those who want to compile LibreOffice from sources. # ⚓ LibreOffice_7.5.5_Community_available_for_download⠀⇛ LibreOffice 7.5.5 Community, the fifth minor release of the LibreOffice 7.5 line, the volunteer- supported free office suite for desktop productivity, is available from our download page for Windows (Intel/AMD and ARM processors), macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel processors), and Linux [1]. Given the upcoming announcement of LibreOffice 7.6, all users are invited to update to this version, which has been tested and sought after enough to be ready for production environments. Several other products based on the same LibreOffice Technology of LibreOffice 7.5.5 are available for major desktop operating systems (Windows, macOS, Chrome OS and Linux), for mobile platforms (Android and iOS), and for the cloud. In some cases the name is not LibreOffice, although the underlying technology is the same. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Olaf Alders ☛ Whither_Perl⠀⇛ I recently spoke about the future of Perl at The Perl and Raku Conference. The slides are now available. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ strlcpy_and_strlcat_added_to_glibc⠀⇛ The commit in glibc says: [...] # ⚓ Yoshua Wuyts ☛ Totality⠀⇛ Perhaps you may have heard people refer to Haskell as a “pure” language. Functions in Haskell may by default diverge (loop infinitely), and they may throw exceptions. Koka on the contrary is what you could call a “total language”. By default functions are considered “total” 1, and are only allowed to operate on their inputs, and produce outputs. In Koka if you want to write a “pure” function, you write a function which makes use of the exn effect (“may throw exceptions”) and div effect (“may diverge”): [...] # ⚓ Evan Hahn ☛ Proof_of_concept:_drop-in_JSON_replacement_that produces_smaller_payloads⠀⇛ JSOS, which stands for JavaScript Objects, but Smaller, is a proof-of-concept data interchange format for busy programmers. It aims to be a drop- in replacement for JSON that produces smaller payloads. It may be a bad idea. (I want feedback!) # ⚓ Qt ☛ Putting_Updates_of_Chromium_in_Qt_WebEngine_on_a Timeline⠀⇛ One of the most frequent questions about Qt WebEngine is about the pace of updates of Chromium. The shortest one would be just like “When do we get the next Chromium in Qt?”. Well, there are a few elements in this which make this question a matter of perspective. I once thought, I should put all elements on a timeline to sort that for me and hopefully for you in a more explanatory form. # § Perl / Raku⠀➾ # ⚓ Rakulang ☛ Rakudo_Weekly_2023.29_DSLs_and_ASTs⠀⇛ Matthew Stuckwisch gave two very interesting presentations at the 2023 Perl and Raku Conference in Toronto: Highly recommended if you’re interested in using the new RakuAST capabilities in your code. # § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ # ⚓ Earthly ☛ Learning_Shell_Script_Functions_and Arguments:_A_Comprehensive_Guide⠀⇛ Bash is a known shell that is preinstalled with most Unix and Linux distributions. Bash makes it extremely easy to write powerful scripts that you can use to perform complex jobs, control hardware and software, and perform logical and analytical computations. In this article, you’ll explore the fundamentals of shell scripting functions and arguments. You’ll see how they’re used and learn how to create your own scripts. You may come across some more terminology than you typically encounter in a blog post, along with some simple scripts you can reproduce and run. So grab your keyboard, open up a terminal, and get started! # ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Using_Until_Loop_in_Bash⠀⇛ While for maybe the most popular bahs loop, wait until you discover until.

It didn’t autocorrect me, so I was intrigued about what it meant. o ⚓ New York Times ☛ Kevin_Mitnick,_Hacker_Who_Once_Eluded Authorities,_Is_Dead_at_59⠀⇛ Kevin Mitnick, a reformed hacker who was once one of the most wanted computer criminals in the United States, died on Sunday, according to a statement shared Wednesday by a cybersecurity training company he co-founded and a funeral home in Las Vegas. He was 59. His death was confirmed by Kathy Wattman, a spokeswoman for KnowBe4. o ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Web_form_has_a_free_text_field?_Say_thanks!⠀⇛ Years ago I got into the habit of leaving positive messages in optional text forms on order pages, like those for delivery instructions or customisations. Often it’s just a “thanks! :)” or my attempt at a translation into their local language. It takes almost no effort whatsoever. o ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ ‘This_ground_is_sacred.’_How_a_new_museum_reclaims history_from_horror.⠀⇛ The new International African American Museum in Charleston, South Carolina, stands on the site where more than 40% of enslaved people were brought to the U.S. o ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Gold_Coast_mayor_floats_Commonwealth_Games redux⠀⇛ The Gold Coast has thrown a lifeline to the Commonwealth Games, but only if the Australian government stumps up the cash. Mayor Tom Tate said the tourist city – which hosted the Games in 2018 – could again hold the event in 2026 after Victoria sensationally cancelled this week. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Carnivorous_Plants_Acquired_a_Deadly_Taste For_Flesh._But_How?⠀⇛ A gruesome mystery. # ⚓ El País ☛ ‘Dutch_Stonehenge’_reveals_4,000-year-old_solar calendar⠀⇛ The size of the shrine at Tiel, about 50 kilometers (31 miles) from Utrecht, is equivalent to three soccer stadiums and archaeologists realized a few months ago that the largest of the mounds they had uncovered was a solar calendar. About 20 meters in diameter, a trench had been dug around it with openings through which the sun entered on specific dates of the year, as at Stonehenge. “For example, the sun’s rays would mark June 21, the summer solstice, and the longest day of the year. Or December 21, the winter solstice and the shortest day,” explains archaeologist Cristian van der Linde, the discoverer of the site, whose team worked in tandem with municipal experts. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ CBC ☛ Canadian-born_president_of_Stanford_University resigns_over_‘serious_flaws’_in_his_research⠀⇛ Panelists found multiple instances of manipulated data in the 12 papers they investigated, but concluded he was not responsible for the misconduct. Still, they found that each of the five papers in which he was principal author “has serious flaws in the presentation of research data” and in at least four of them, there was apparent manipulation of data by others. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ China_Scolds_Netherlands_For_New Chipmaking_Tool_Ban⠀⇛ China wants the Dutch government not to impose new export rules that ban sales of advanced DUV tools to the People’s Republic. # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ US_and_Netherlands_to_slap_China_with_new ban_on_exporting_chipmaking_equipment⠀⇛ China looks set to suffer another blow in its ongoing trade war with the U.S. amid reports that it will be slapped with further restrictions on the sale of computer chipmaking equipment. # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ U.S._Considers_New_Restrictions_for_AI Chip_Exports_to_China⠀⇛ Shares of Nvidia, AMD drop on report about further restrictions against Chinese AI sector. # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Global_PC_shipments_down_again_in_2Q,_but_drop not_so_steep⠀⇛ Global shipments of desktops and notebooks fell by 11.5% year-on-year to 62.1 million units in the second quarter of 2023, the technology analyst firm Canalys says, adding that this followed two quarters when the decline was more than 30%. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Vintage_Digital_Frequency_Meter_Teardown⠀⇛ You think of digital displays as modern, but the idea isn’t that new. We had clocks, for example, with wheels and flip digits for years. The Racal frequency counter that [Thomas Scherrer] is playing with in the video below has columns of digits with lamps behind them. You just need the right plastic and ten lightbulbs per digit, and you are in business. Easy enough to accomplish in 1962. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Tedium ☛ Tamper_Evident⠀⇛ Today in Tedium: As we pointed out in our recent piece on beverage cans, a lot of innovation had to get into place to get us to the point where we are today, where you can open a can with another can, as a TikTok user so helpfully showed us. And one of the points of innovation we didn’t even bring up is that the pop-top lid is brilliant because it’s obvious it hasn’t been tampered with. Problem is, that design doesn’t work for every product sold in stores. Some jars need to be built to be reusable, but they also need to be re-opened. Today’s Tedium is going to talk about one of the most common things in your refrigerator that you never think about—the tamper-evident “safety button” that you commonly see on the lids of jars. Where did it come from, and why didn’t know you needed an article about it until now? — Ernie @ Tedium # ⚓ Truthdig ☛ Why_Is_Getting_Old_So_Hard_and_Expensive_in America?⠀⇛ We’re not ready for old age. Not as individuals, not as a society. That’s the sobering news from lawyer M.T. Connolly, former coordinator of the Elder Justice and Nursing Home Initiative at the U.S. Department of Justice. In her new book, The Measure of Our Age: Navigating Care, Safety, Money, and Meaning Later in Life, she outlines how our institutions, laws, and cultural practices have failed to keep up with our amazing advances in longevity over the last century. As a result, many, if not most of us, are spending our final years with far less security, health, purpose, and joy than we could be having. (Americans have been falling behind peer countries on mortality rates in recent years). # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ People_Who_Don’t_Get_COVID_Symptoms_Share_a Common_Feature⠀⇛ A protective effect. # ⚓ Quartz ☛ In-N-Out_Burger_is_once_again_a_flashpoint_in_the covid_mask_debate⠀⇛ The debate over covid masks has reignited, courtesy of In-N-Out Burger.

It used an electromechanical rotor mechanism that scrambled the 26 letters of the alphabet. In typical use, one person enters text on the Enigma’s keyboard and another person writes down which of the 26 lights above the keyboard is illuminated at each key press. The illuminated letters are the ciphertext. Entering ciphertext on the keyboard transforms it back into readable text. The intricate rotor mechanism enabled the use of an enormous number of different rules, making it extremely difficult to crack the code, which is only possible if the initial machine configuration is known. But small system issues, combined with several years of hard work, mathematical and computational advancements, and a dose of luck, ultimately cracked the Enigma code. One weakness of Enigma was the need to distribute machine configuration information (or keys) in advance, which carried the risk of potential interception. The challenge of securely exchanging keys was the next cryptography problem to address for enhanced system resilience. The solution came in the 1970s with the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ Alabama’s_first_execution_since_they were_paused_last_November_may_proceed_on_Thursday,_court says⠀⇛ A federal appeals court has refused to stop an upcoming execution in Alabama.

Advocacy groups said a third execution was botched, though the state disputes that. The judges said the state conducted a review of execution procedures and Barber’s assertion that the “same pattern would continue to occur” is “purely speculative.” # ⚓ The Telegraph UK ☛ Hate_preacher_Anjem_Choudary_arrested_on suspicion_of_terror_offence⠀⇛ Choudary was for many years the UK’s most prominent Islamic extremist, who had headed up a number of militant groups including al-Muhajiroun, which were banned under terror laws introduced in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks in New York and the Jul 7 2005 bombings in London. # ⚓ NBC ☛ Michigan_attorney_general_charges_‘false_electors’ over_efforts_to_overturn_the_2020_election⠀⇛ The 16 people being charged in Michigan allegedly met in the basement of the state’s Republican Party headquarters and signed multiple certificates claiming they were “the duly elected and qualified electors for president and vice president of the United States of America for the state of Michigan,” Nessel said in recorded remarks. “That was a lie.

It wasn’t, though. It was well over a month and a half ago. As you might recall, at the time an microbiologist turned COVID-19 conspiracy theorist named Kevin McKernan had, either cluelessly or intentionally, confused simian virus-40 (SV40) that had contaminated live attenuated virus polio vaccines 60 years ago, leading to an old antivax claim that polio vaccines cause cancer with the SV40 promoter, a DNA element from the virus that, when in front of a gene, can stimulate cells to make a lot of that gene’s product, and then fear mongered about it. As I said at the time, it was almost as though McKernan, his background in microbiology and (apparently) genomics notwithstanding, either did not know the difference between a promoter sequence and an actual gene or, more likely, knew the difference but also knew that his audience didn’t know the difference but was aware of the polio vaccine/SV40 story. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Reason ☛ No_Pseudonymity_for_#TheyLied_Plaintiff_Suing_for Libel_and_Invasion_of_Privacy_Over_Rape_Accusations⠀⇛ From Judge Nina Wang yesterday in Doe v.

Up to 23 people have reportedly been killed during the protests, according to the UN Human Rights Office. # ⚓ BBC ☛ Kenya’s_Azimio_protests:_Children_hospitalised_after being_tear-gassed_in_Nairobi⠀⇛ Kenyans are divided over the protests, with some backing them, saying the high cost of living is unsustainable: “Kenyans are personally defending themselves, arguing against the imposed taxes.

And he was not alone. DAWN has uncovered at least 10 other cases just this year of transnational repression by Jordan’s General Intelligence Directorate (GID), which directly reports to King Abdullah II, one of America’s closest allies in the Middle East. The GID, which has a dedicated division to spy on Jordanians, has been harassing, intimidating and punishing activists abroad, whose numbers in exile have increased in the face of the country’s spiraling domestic repression. Hundreds of teachers, journalists, academics, lawyers and even truck drivers who protested against corruption and government mismanagement have been arrested in recent years. Jordanians abroad thought they had found freedom and space to advocate for change in the kingdom and establish democracy and human rights organizations like the Gathering of Jordan’s Sons in Exile and the Democratic Platform. # ⚓ NDTV ☛ Swedish_Embassy_In_Baghdad_Attacked,_Set_On_Fire: Report⠀⇛ A series of videos posted by One Baghdad, a popular Telegram channel that supports Sadr, showed people gathering around the embassy around 1 a.m. on Thursday (2200 GMT on Wednesday) and storming the embassy complex around an hour later.

Security forces used fire hoses, tasers and shot their guns into the air to break up the protest. The Taliban said earlier this month they were giving all salons in Afghanistan one month to wind down their businesses and close shop, drawing concern from international officials worried about the impact on female entrepreneurs. The Taliban say they are outlawing salons allegedly because they offer services forbidden by Islam and cause economic hardship for grooms’ families during wedding festivities. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Taliban_Violently_Disperses_Protest_Against_Closure Of_Beauty_Salons_In_Afghanistan⠀⇛ “Yes, they were very violent.

The new extension, set for Oct. 18, signals that the companies believe they will complete the deal but need more time to satisfy regulators’ concerns. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Biden_Administration_Unveils_Tougher Guidelines_on_Mergers⠀⇛ The guidelines — which generally provide a road map for whether regulators block or approve deals — show the Biden administration’s commitment to an aggressive antitrust agenda aimed at curtailing the power of companies like Google, Meta, Apple and Amazon. The guidelines, which aren’t enforced by law, follow a losing streak in the courts. A ruling last week prevented the F.T.C. from delaying the closing of Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition of the video game maker Activision Blizzard. In January, a court sided against the F.T.C. in its lawsuit to stop Meta’s purchase of Within, a virtual reality app maker. # § Trademarks⠀➾ # ⚓ CNN ☛ The_battle_for_the_‘Taco_Tuesday’_trademark_is over⠀⇛ Taco John’s, the regional chain that has “Taco Tuesday” trademarked, announced Tuesday that it’s ending its fight in defending the phrase and will “abandon” it because it doesn’t want to pay the legal fees that come with a fight against Taco Bell. # ⚓ ABC ☛ Battle_for_the_‘Taco_Tuesday’_trademark_is_over as_Taco_John’s_ends_dispute_with_Taco_Bell⠀⇛ Taco Bell filed a petition in May with the US Patent and Trademark office to cancel the trademark owned by rival Taco John’s for 34 years because Taco Bell claims the commonly used phrase “should be freely available to all who make, sell, eat and celebrate tacos.” # ⚓ Axios ☛ Taco_Tuesday_fight_ends_as_Taco_John’s abandons_trademark⠀⇛ Taco John’s CEO Jim Creel said it would have cost as much as $1 million to defend the trademark, The Wall Street Journal first reported.

Rose has continued building and upstreaming better frame scheduling infrastructure for wlroots, you can read more on her_blog. I’ve resurrected an_old_patch to make wlroots behave better when the GPU is under high load. In my testing this improves latency a lot some specific scenarios and some specific hardware, but doesn’t help on some others. It’s not super clear if anything can be done about this, it may be that we are hitting some hardware limitations here: GPUs don’t know how to preempt tasks very well. I’ve also started working on explicit synchronization again. This was previously blocked on a hard problem: drivers may want to use a new kind of synchronization fence primitive (user-space memory fences) and it wasn’t clear how the current primitives (drm_syncobj) would hold up. We’ve been talking about this new primitive for a few years but unfortunately it’s a complicated matter and nothing new has surfaced. However, after discussing with Daniel Vetter, we’ve come to the conclusion that the kernel will provide backwards compatibility for drm_syncobj, so we can just stop worrying and use that as the basis for explicit synchronization protocols and implementations. Moreover, NVIDIA engineers are interested in helping with this effort, so I hope we can keep the momentum and join forces to push the new protocol, APIs and implementations to the finish line. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Links ☛ Spotlighting_the_Top_Open_Source_Crafting Tools⠀⇛ Handicraft is a term that describes many different types of work where practical and decorative objects are made by hand or by using only simple tools.

With this blocker cleared out, the zbus_port_MR has also been merged, fully porting the Bustle rewrite to zbus. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ More_tr_translations_and_Symphytum_menu translated⠀⇛ Thanks to madanadam for more Turkish translations: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=94373#p94373 Symphytum simple database app now has menu translations for “all” languages: https://github.com/bkauler/woofq/commit/ acf064ac3e46b31aca99b28d6d59c8b8a07f5a48 …note, some lines seem to have empty translations, but that is just a limitation of the font.    o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ SUSE’s Corporate Blog ☛ Linux_in_Space⠀⇛ Since Linux began more than 30 years ago, it has been instrumental in space and planetary research.  There is truly a connection between Linux and space research.  Linux is widely used in space research and exploration due to its flexibility, reliability, and open-source nature. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Software Freedom Conservancy ☛ RHEL_Panel_Discussion_at FOSSY_2023⠀⇛ A blog_post from Software Freedom Conservancy. This past weekend, July 13-16th, 2023, Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) hosted and ran a new conference, FOSSY (Free and Open Source Software Yearly) in Portland, Oregon, USA. I was glad to host the keynote panel discussion on the recent change made by Red Hat (now a subsidiary of IBM) regarding the public source code releases for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). # ⚓ Red_Hat_Announces_Advancements_To_JBoss_EAP_On_Microsoft Azure [Ed: SPAMnil promoting Microsoft, just like IBM does]⠀⇛ o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ It’s FOSS ☛ FOSS_Weekly_#23.29:_Linux_Mint_21.2_Released, Systemd_vs_Init,_Terminal_vs_Nautilus_and_More⠀⇛ Linux Mint 21.2 is available to upgrade now.

This would probably be launched somewhere in November. There are obvious issues in this, the first being unlike regular motherboards you wouldn’t be upgrade as you would do.You can’t upgrade your memory, can’t upgrade the CPU (although new versions of instructions could be uploaded, similar to BIOS updates) but as the hardware is integrated (the quad-core SiFive Performance P550 core complex) it would really depend. If the final pricing is around INR 4-5k then it may be able to sell handsomely provided there are people to push and provide support around it. A 500 GB or 1 TB SSD coupled with it and a cheap display unit and you could use it anywhere although as the name says it’s more for tinkering as the name suggests. Another board that could perhaps be of more immediate use would be the beagleboard. They launched the same couple of days back and called it Beagle_V-Ahead. Again, costs are going to be a concern. Just a year before the pandemic the Beagleboard Black (BB) used to cost in the sub 4k range, today it costs 8k+ for the end_user, more than twice the price. How much Brexit is to be blamed for this and how much the Indian customs we would never know. The RS Group that is behind that shop is head-quartered in the UK. # ⚓ Arduino ☛ Real-time_alerts_for_your_IoT_projects:_Discover Triggers_and_Notifications_in_Arduino_Cloud⠀⇛ In the world of IoT, staying informed about your project’s status and events is crucial. Imagine receiving prompt notifications when your temperature sensor detects a critical temperature, or when your security camera detects motion in a restricted area. # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Edgeble_AI_Neural_Compute_Module_2_(Neu2) follows_96Boards_SoM_form_factor⠀⇛ Edgeble AI’s Neurable Compute Module 2, or Neu2 for shorts, is a system-on-module for computer vision applications based on the Rockchip RV1126 quad-core Cortex-A7 camera processor that follows the 96Boards SoM form factor. I first found the Neu2 and Neu6 (Rockchip RK3588) in the release log for the Linux 6.3 kernel, but at the time I found there was not enough information about those. The specifications for the Neu6 are still wrong (e.g. “64-bit processor with 4x Cortex-A7 core”) at the time of writing, so I’ll check the Neu2 system-on- module and its industrial version – the Neu2K based on RK1126K – for which we have more details. # ⚓ Richard_W.M._Jones:_Sipeed_Lichee_Pi_4A⠀⇛ At some point I will do a head to head comparison of HiFive Unmatched, Vision Five 2, Lichee Pi 4A, and Raspberry Pi 4B.

It is provided (for the R package) as a set of included files, so the package is self-contained and does not depend on an external QuantLib library (which can be demanding to build). qlcal covers over sixty country / market calendars and can compute holiday lists, its complement (i.e. business day lists) and much more. This release brings updates from the just-released QuantLib 1.31 version. # § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ Getting_Started_with_Flask:_A_Beginner’s Guide⠀⇛ Flask is a lightweight web framework for Python, known for its simplicity, flexibility, and fine-grained control. Unlike more ‘heavyweight’ frameworks like Django, Flask does not come with many built-in tools or components, which means that developers have the freedom to choose the most suitable tools for their projects. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ Adrift_for_months,_Australian_and_his_dog_lived_off raw_fish_and_hope⠀⇛ An Australian sailor and his dog, who were stranded at sea for three months, were rescued by a Mexican tuna boat in the Pacific. Tim Sheddock was in good physical shape and expressed his gratitude to the captain and fishing company for saving his life. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ India_smartphone_shipments_in_2Q23_show_only modest_decline⠀⇛ Smartphone shipments to India were more or less stable in the second quarter of 2023, the technology analyst firm Canalys says, adding that the country experienced a modest decline of 1% year-on-year, with 36.1 million units shipped. On a sequential basis, that meant growth of 18% after three quarters of declines, with inventory levels held by vendors improving due to an improving business environment. India is the second biggest market for smartphones after China. Samsung was the top seller, with 18% market share, shipping 6.6 million units. vivo was not far behind, shipping 6.4 million units while Xiaomi took third spot 5.4 million units shipped. § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ * ⚓ teleSUR ☛ FAO:_Innovative_Project_To_Address_Food_Security_in_Sri Lanka⠀⇛ “…FAO and its partners are conducting training programs for agriculture extension officers (AEOs)…” § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ * ⚓ Bloomberg ☛ Grindr_Staff_Launch_Union_Drive,_Fueled_by_Tech_Layoffs_and Anti-LGBTQ_Threats⠀⇛ Employees at the LGBTQ dating company Grindr Inc. are petitioning to unionize, extending a wave of organizing among tech workers. * ⚓ Bleeping Computer ☛ Microsoft_Exchange_Online_hit_by_new_outage blocking_emails⠀⇛ Microsoft is investigating an ongoing Exchange Online outage preventing customers from sending emails and triggering 503 errors on affected systems. * ⚓ Microsoft’s_Acquisition_of_Activision_Unsettles_Employees_and_Alters Overwatch_League⠀⇛ Although the acquisition of Activision by Microsoft is expected to bring about significant changes within the company, the exact details of these changes have yet to be fully revealed. As the gaming industry continues to evolve and adapt to new trends and developments, it remains to be seen how Microsoft’s ownership will reshape the future of Activision and its various franchises, including the Overwatch League. * ⚓ Game Rant ☛ Activision_Blizzard_Lays_Off_50_Employees [Ed: The 'Microsoft effect' comes early, if not prematurely]⠀⇛ Around 50 Activision Blizzard employees have been laid off from the eSports team, causing some speculation about the division moving forward. The Overwatch League has been hit by recent changes, and the latest Activision Blizzard layoffs could play a role in the future of the popular eSports competition scene. Overwatch 2′s launch received a mixed reception due to the many changes that the live-service game made to the original formula. Although the Overwatch League has faded in popularity compared to its standing during the first game, some fans still follow their favorite teams and anticipate each eSports match. With Activision Blizzard looking to amend the Overwatch League agreement terms around the same time as these layoffs, the two may be related. § Linux Foundation⠀➾ * ⚓ Linux Foundation’s Site/Blog ☛ Leading_Cloud_Service,_Semiconductor, and_System_Providers_Unite_to_Form_Ultra_Ethernet_Consortium [Ed: How many things that are not Linux does the 'Linux' Foundation provide more funding to (than Linux)? Maybe they should rebrand as the Ethernet Foundation then. A monopolists' incubator is not Open Source but openwashing at best. Typically, when the 'Linux' Foundation speaks of "collaboration" it means partnership between patent-rich giants and conglomerates. It's called oligopoly, not collaboration.]⠀⇛ Announced today, Ultra Ethernet Consortium (UEC) is bringing together leading companies for industry-wide cooperation to build a complete Ethernet-based communication stack architecture for high-performance networking. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and High-Performance Computing (HPC) workloads are rapidly evolving and require best-in-class functionality, performance, interoperability and total cost of ownership, without sacrificing developer and end-user friendliness.

IoT security has been a problem for years with routers shipping with telnet enabled with default usernames and passwords, vulnerabilities in SDKs, unencrypted passwords transmitted over the network, millions of devices with older microcontrollers without built-in hardware security features, etc… There have been industry efforts to solve this such as the Arm PSA initiative, as well as regulations to prevent default usernames/passwords in new devices, but nothing about IoT security that can help a consumer find out if a device is supposed to be secure or not. * ⚓ SANS ☛ Deobfuscation_of_Malware_Delivered_Through_a_.bat_File,_(Thu, Jul_20th)⠀⇛ I found a phishing email that delivered a RAR archive (password protected). * ⚓ SANS ☛ Citrix_ADC_Vulnerability_CVE-2023-3519,_3466_and_3467_–_Patch Now!,_(Wed,_Jul_19th)⠀⇛ Citrix released details on a new vulnerability on their ADC (Application Delivery Controller) yesterday (18 July 2023), CVE-2023-3519. This is an unauthenticated RCE (remote code execution), which means an attacker can run arbitrary code on your ADC without authentication. This affects ADC hosts configured in any of the “gateway” roles (VPN virtual server, ICA Proxy, CVPN, RDP Proxy), which commonly face the internet, or as an authentication virtual server (AAA server), which is usually visible only from internal or management subnets. * ⚓ IT Wire ☛ US_to_certify_smart_home_devices,_routers_from_next_year⠀⇛ The initiative has been proposed by Federal Communications Commission chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel and the agency will use a QR code that links to to a national registry of certified devices. The NIST will also start working on a program to identify consumer-grade routers that are better able to withstand bids to eavesdrop, steal passwords, and attack other devices and high-value networks. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Oracle_Releases_508_New_Security_Patches_With_July_2023 CPU⠀⇛ Oracle has released 508 new security patches as part of the July 2023 CPU, including more than 70 that address critical vulnerabilities * ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ Practice_Your_Security_Prompting_Skills⠀⇛ Gandalf is an interactive LLM game where the goal is to get the chatbot to reveal its password. There are eight levels of difficulty, as the chatbot gets increasingly restrictive instructions as to how it will answer. It’s a great teaching tool. I am stuck on Level 7. Feel free to give hints and discuss strategy in the comments below. I probably won’t look at them until I’ve cracked the last level. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Microsoft_Bows_to_Pressure_to_Free_Up_Cloud_Security Logs [Ed: Just a PR stunt after a major blunder. And people who don't use "clown computing" get logging as they wish, so this is just an upselling ploy.]⠀⇛ Facing intense pressure after Chinese APT hack, Microsoft plans to expand logging defaults for lower-tier M365 customers. * ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Microsoft_set_to_expand_access_to_detailed_logs_in the_wake_of_[Microsoft_security_failure/breach]n⠀⇛ Under fire for security failures and premium pricing for security features, Microsoft said it would make logging tools more widely available. * ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Microsoft_expands_logging_access,_but_holds_back_some_premium features [Ed: Way to distract from a massive breach]⠀⇛ “Additional Audit_Premium_features include longer default retention periods and automation support for importing log data into other tools for analysis.” * ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Windows_ransomware_group_Cl0P_leaks_some_PwC_files_on_clear web⠀⇛ Cl0P first breached PwC in May. The firm acknowledged it had suffered an intrusion through MOVEit, telling the Australian Financial Review on 19_June: “We are aware that MOVEit, a third-party transfer platform, has experienced a cyber security incident which has impacted hundreds of organisations including PwC.” While Cl0p has divided the files stolen from PwC into 11 batches and listed all on the dark web, only four of these batches have been listed on the clear web. {loadposition sam08}There is a spelling mistake in the URL of the site on the clear web; technology industry sources told iTWire that this could be intentional, with a threat to correct it, and thus make the site easier to find, serving as an additional means of leverage. * ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Estee_Lauder_Companies_breached_by_both_Alphv_and_Cl0p⠀⇛ In its statement about the breach on Wednesday, Estee Lauder said: “After becoming aware of the incident, the company proactively took down some of its systems and promptly began an investigation with the assistance of leading third-party cyber security experts. “The company is also co-ordinating with law enforcement. Based on the current status of the investigation, the company believes the unauthorised party obtained some data from its systems, and the company is working to understand the nature and scope of that data. * ⚓ Pen Test Partners ☛ Exposed_Gits:_10_Years_on⠀⇛ Nearly 10 years ago my colleague wrote a cracking post on exposed Git repositories. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Two_Jira_Plugin_Vulnerabilities_in_Attacker Crosshairs⠀⇛ Attackers are exploiting two path traversal vulnerabilities in the Stagil navigation for Jira – Menus & Themes plugin. * ⚓ SANS ☛ Exploit_Attempts_for_“Stagil_navigation_for_Jira_Menus_& Themes”_CVE-2023-26255_and_CVE-2023-26256,_(Tue,_Jul_18th)⠀⇛ Today, I noticed the following URL on our “first seen URLs” page: * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Recycling_Giant_Tomra_Takes_Systems_Offline_Following Cyberattack⠀⇛ Norwegian recycling giant Tomra says internal systems have been taken offline to contain an extensive cyberattack. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Adobe_Releases_New_Patches_for_Exploited_ColdFusion Vulnerabilities⠀⇛ Adobe releases a second round of patches for recent ColdFusion vulnerabilities, including flaws that have been exploited in attacks. § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ * ⚓ France24 ☛ Kinshasa_residents_terrified_by_rising_number_of_public transportation_kidnappings⠀⇛ Twenty-seven people in the Democratic Republic of Congo were sentenced to life in prison for kidnapping passengers who had the misfortune of getting into their fake taxis. But despite this mass sentencing, which took place between July 5 and 7, people in Kinshasa are still terrified by the rising number of kidnappings taking place on public transport. The police, however, are downplaying the alarming situation, calling them “ordinary security issues”. * ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ National_security_police_‘take_away’_family members_of_wanted_Hong_Kong_activists_for_questioning⠀⇛ Hong Kong national security police have questioned seven relatives and acquaintances of two wanted activists, according to local media, in the latest move against eight overseas-based pro-democracy figures for whom arrests warrants and HK$1 million bounties were issued. * ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ Women’s_World_Cup_security_heightened_ahead_of opening_match_following_deadly_shooting_in_Auckland⠀⇛ Security will be heightened ahead of Thursday night’s opening Women’s World Cup game after a gunman killed two people at a downtown construction site in Auckland, roughly 12 hours ahead of co-host New Zealand’s match against Norway. The Norway team’s hotel is located within a short distance of the shooting, which occurred in the tourist area of the city near the harbor ferry terminal.

At 6:00 a.m., Russian troops closed off the road to the base, reported the channel. o ⚓ Meduza ☛ Ukraine’s_super_drones_Whatever_naval_weapon_was_used_to bomb_the_Crimean_Bridge,_we_know_remarkably_little_about_it_— Meduza⠀⇛ Within a few hours of the July 17 attack on the Crimean Bridge, Russia’s National Antiterrorism Committee attributed the explosions to “two Ukrainian unmanned surface vehicles.” A source close to the Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s Main Intelligence Directorate, who spoke to Meduza on condition of anonymity, later confirmed this. Ever since, however, there’s been no additional proof that drones carried out the attack. We still don’t have even a leaked photograph of the weapons. There is nevertheless some circumstantial evidence to corroborate these reports: namely, videos and photos showing that the blasts hit the underside of the bridge’s roadway, as well as satellite imagery recorded a day earlier that captured six unknown vessels, five of which were headed east, roughly 75 kilometers (almost 47 miles) from Snake Island. When the satellite overhead photographed these ships, they were about 520 kilometers (almost 325 miles) away from the bridge. Beyond this limited available information, the various capacities of Ukraine’s known naval arsenal make it possible to draw a few conclusions. o ⚓ Meduza ☛ Russian_strikes_on_Odesa,_Mykolaiv,_and_Sumy_injure_more than_20_—_Meduza⠀⇛ Overnight, Russian troops launched kamikaze drones and missiles at Odesa, Mykolaiv and Sumy. o ⚓ Meduza ☛ Wagner_Group_reportedly_to_send_home_all_former prisoners_—_Meduza⠀⇛ Wagner Group leadership has decided to let all former prisoners who worked as mercenaries for the military cartel go home, reports Russian independent news outlet iStories.

I didn’t write it up at the time because, while amusing, the discussion of the trademark (and, for that matter, copyright) issues was so confused that it was difficult to know what was accurate and what wasn’t. * § Copyrights⠀➾ o ⚓ Dennis Crouch/Patently-O ☛ A_National_Right_of_Publicity:_the Federal_Anti-Impersonation_Right_(FAIR)⠀⇛ Intellectual property rights in the U.S. have long been a mix of state common law rights and federal statutory rights.  Patents and copyrights were established in the Constitution and enacted by the First Congress in 1790.  Those rights were fairly quickly established as exclusively federal, meaning that there is effectively no patents or copyrights offered by individual states.  Trademarks and trade secrets followed a different path – developing under state common law before later later gaining federal protections; with trade secrets moving federal most recently via the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) of 2016.  Unlike patent and copyright, trademarks and trade secrets continue to be concurrent and overlapping, meaning that state rights continue to exist and be enforceable alongside the federal right.  It is common for litigation to assert both.  With trademark law, the federal right has been around since 1870 and today occupies most of the space.  Because the federal trade secrecy right is so new (and no registration is available), it is still unclear whether we’ll see the same result. o ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Stop_Rushing_To_Copyright_As_A_Tool_To_‘Solve’_The Problems_Of_AI⠀⇛ A few months back, I got added to a group chat of Hollywood writers/actors/directors, all seeking to understand what the fuck was going on with AI. And one topic that came up consistently early on was “will copyright protect us” and, if not, “how can copyright be changed to better protect us?” I’ve already made it clear that I’m skeptical of the various copyright lawsuits against AI companies, claiming that the training of their LLMs violated copyright law. While there are some arguments against it, it seems to me that training is the equivalent of learning from, and we’d never say that reading a book and learning from it violates copyright law. Similarly, various lawsuits about search engines and book scanning suggest a (correct) recognition that scanning copyright covered works to create new (even commercial) products is fair use. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 6141 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 07.20.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Links_20/07/2023:_MySQL_8.1_and_WordPress_6.3_Release_Candidate_1⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 4:38 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * GNU/Linux o Desktop/Laptop o Kernel_Space o Applications o Instructionals/Technical o Games o Desktop_Environments/WMs # GNOME_Desktop/GTK * Distributions_and_Operating_Systems o SUSE/OpenSUSE o Fedora_Family_/_IBM o Canonical/Ubuntu_Family o Mobile_Systems/Mobile_Applications * Free,_Libre,_and_Open_Source_Software o SaaS/Back_End/Databases o Content_Management_Systems_(CMS) o FSF o Programming/Development # Python * Leftovers o Education o Health/Nutrition/Agriculture o Proprietary/Artificial_Intelligence_(AI) o Linux_Foundation o Security o Defence/Aggression o Environment # Energy/Transportation # Wildlife/Nature o Finance o AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics o Censorship/Free_Speech o Civil_Rights/Policing o Internet_Policy/Net_Neutrality o Monopolies # Patents # Copyrights * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Politics_and_World_Events o Technology_and_Free_Software * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o § Desktop/Laptop⠀➾ # ⚓ Beta News ☛ Framework_Laptop_16_now_available_for_pre-order with_Windows_11_or_Linux⠀⇛ The highly-anticipated Framework Laptop 16 is now available for pre-order, bringing desktop PC-level customization to a portable device. The sleek notebook is powered by the latest AMD Ryzen CPUs and Radeon GPUs and offers a remarkable degree of upgradability and repairability. o § Kernel Space⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ The_FUSE_BPF_filesystem>⠀⇛ The Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) framework can be used to create a “stacked” filesystem, where the FUSE piece adds specialized functionality (e.g. reporting different file metadata) atop an underlying kernel filesystem. The performance of such filesystems leaves a lot to be desired, however, so the FUSE BPF filesystem has been proposed to try to improve the performance to be close to that of the underlying native filesystem. It came up in the context of a session on FUSE passthrough earlier in the 2023 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management and BPF Summit, but the details of FUSE BPF were more fully described by Daniel Rosenberg in a combined filesystem and BPF session on the final day of the summit. Rosenberg said that he wanted to introduce the filesystem, describe its current status, and discuss some of the open questions with regard to future plans for it. The goal is for a stacked FUSE filesystem to come as close to the native filesystem’s performance as the FUSE BPF developers can get. In addition, they want to keep “all of the nice ease-of-use of FUSE”, with its “defined entry points”; the idea is to keep the interface “similar to what you would see from the FUSE daemon”. # ⚓ LWN ☛ Large_folios_for_anonymous_memory⠀⇛ The transition to folios has transformed the memory-management subsystem in a number of ways, but has also resulted in a lot of code churn that has not been welcomed by all developers. As this work proceeds, though, some of the benefits from it are beginning to become clear. One example may well be in the handling of anonymous memory, as can be seen in a pair of patch sets from Ryan Roberts. The initial Linux kernel release used 4KB pages on systems whose total memory size was measured in megabytes — and a rather small number of megabytes at that. Since then, installed-memory sizes have grown by a few orders of magnitude or so, but the 4KB page size remains mostly unchanged. So the kernel has to manage far more pages than it once did; that leads to more memory used for tracking, longer lists to scan, and more page faults to handle. In many ways, a 4KB page size is far too small for contemporary systems. # ⚓ LWN ☛ A_pair_of_workqueue_improvements⠀⇛ Over the years, the kernel has developed a number of deferred-execution mechanisms to take care of work that cannot be done immediately. For many (or most) needs, the workqueue subsystem is the tool that developers reach for first. Workqueues took their current form over a dozen years ago, but that does not mean that there are not improvements to be made. Two sets of patches from Tejun Heo show the pressures being felt by the workqueue subsystem and the solutions that are being tried — with varying degrees of success. In normal usage, each subsystem creates its own workqueue (with alloc_workqueue()) to hold work items. When kernel code needs to defer a task, it can fill in a work_struct structure with the address of a function to call and some data to pass to that call. That structure can be passed, along with the target workqueue, to a function like queue_work(), and the workqueue mechanism will call the function at some future time. The call is made in process context, meaning that work items can block if need be. There is, of course, a long list of variants to queue_work(), and a number of ways in which workqueues themselves can be created, but the core functionality — call a function in process at a later time — remains the same. # ⚓ LWN ☛ The_rest_of_the_6.5_merge_window⠀⇛ Linus Torvalds released 6.5-rc1 and closed the merge window for this development cycle on July 9. By that point, 11,730 non-merge changesets had been pulled into the mainline for 6.5; over 7,700 of those were pulled after the first-half merge-window summary was written. The second half of the merge window saw a lot of code coming into the mainline and a long list of significant changes. # ⚓ LWN ☛ BPF_iterators_for_filesystems⠀⇛ In the first of two combined BPF and filesystem sessions at the 2023 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management and BPF Summit, Hou Tao introduced his BPF iterators for filesystem information. Iterators for BPF are a relatively recent addition to the BPF landscape; they help BPF programs step through kernel data structures in a loop-like manner, but without running afoul of the BPF verifier, which is notoriously hard to convince about loops. In his remote presentation, Tao began with a quick overview of BPF iterators. They allow users to write a special type of BPF program that can step through kernel data structures in ways that would normally be handled with loops; instead, the BPF program contains callbacks that are made from the kernel in response to user-space reads of pinned BPF files. The callback is made for each new kernel object encountered in the data structure; the code in the callback can then present information from the object to user space in whatever format the developer wants. # ⚓ LWN ☛ Testing_for_storage_and_filesystems⠀⇛ The kdevops kernel-testing framework has come up at several earlier summits, including in two separate sessions at last year’s event. Testing kernel filesystems and the block layer, not to mention lots of other kernel subsystems, has become increasingly important over time. So it was no surprise that Luis Chamberlain led a combined storage and filesystem session at the 2023 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management and BPF Summit to talk more about testing, the resources needed for it, and what can be done to improve it. It was the final session for this year’s summit, so this article completes our coverage. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ VirtualBox_7.0.10_Released,_Оfficial_Debian_12 Repository_Available⠀⇛ VirtualBox, the renowned virtualization software, continues to evolve, offering users unparalleled versatility and functionality in managing virtual machines.

Before diving into the actual pentesting, it’s crucial to enumerate subdomains to gain a better understanding of the project’s scope. You never know what interesting domains you might stumble upon that could uncover significant vulnerabilities. Here we’ll explore some fantastic free Linux tools that can assist you in this subdomain enumeration process. So let’s dive in and discover these resources that can enhance your web security assessment capabilities. # ⚓ Linux Links ☛ 8_Excellent_Free_and_Open_Source_Mind_Mapping Software⠀⇛ Mind mapping is a fairly free flowing concept. This means you need software that is versatile, and can adapt to your requirements. Your idea of a neat and tidy mind map might be another person’s idea of bamboozling. A map can concentrate very complex content in a small space such as a piece of paper. It helps to use both sides of your brain: the logical side and also the creative side. It’s a technique to help organize the way you think and stimulate your creativity: It can help you by developing, sorting and helping to memorize your ideas. Mind mapping software therefore offers an excellent way of capturing your thoughts in a structured way, brainstorming new ideas. Move away from simple lists, and use this software to link ideas in different ways. By thinking creatively, not linearly, we can seize on our big ideas. In more advanced forms, mind mapping software can also be used to describe complex structures and concepts so an entire team can better understand them. Here’s our rating for the open source software featured in this article. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ What_Is_a_Flatpak_in_Linux,_and_How_Do_You Install_One?⠀⇛ Flatpaks are a distribution-agnostic way to install applications onto your Linux computer.

Package managers on Linux allow you to automate software installation and get the job done with just a few commands. Unlike other package managers, Snap has good dependency management attributes. But there is a caveat, Snap packages tend to be very bulky and consume a lot of disk space. Fortunately, it’s easy to clean up Snap packages on Linux. # ⚓ How_to_Use_Linux_on_Chromebook_[Guide]⠀⇛ Chromebooks, known for their lightweight design and cloud-centric approach, have gained immense popularity due to their user-friendly interface and seamless integration with Google applications. However, some users crave more advanced software and need the ability to perform complex tasks that go beyond the confines of Chrome OS. This is where Linux comes in, opening the doors to a wide variety of software, development tools, and customization options. # ⚓ Network World ☛ How_to_determine_your_Linux_system’s filesystem_types⠀⇛ Linux systems use a number of file system types – such as Ext, Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, JFS, XFS, ZFS, XFS, ReiserFS and btrfs. Fortunately, there are a number of commands that can look at your file systems and report on the type of each of them. This post covers seven ways to display this information. To begin, the file system types that are used on Linux systems are described below. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ Battlebit_Remastered_anti-cheat_update_won’t_break_Steam Deck_&_Linux_support⠀⇛ The popular FPS Battlebit Remastered is set to introduce a new anti-cheat, and the development team has finally put Linux players at ease. For weeks now, Battlebit Remastered has been prepping to push an update that moves the game from Easy Anti-Cheat to FACEIT, an anti-cheat software best known in Counter-Strike circles. The move would have ended support for the Battlebit Remastered on the Steam Deck and Linux, which irritated fans. After the announcement, there was no clear messaging from the Battlebit Remastered team, leaving Linux players in the lurch. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ GIMP_Dev_Release_Completes_GTK3_Port, Adds_Headerbar_Option⠀⇛ A new development version of GIMP recently released, and it’s a fairly notably one for a couple of reasons. Though not stable (i.e. expect bugs) this release gives us our best look yet at how what the stable GIMP 3.0 release will comprise of when it’s released later this year (a release candidate of GIMP 3.0 draws close, for those interested). # ⚓ GNOME ☛ Christian_Hergert:_GListModel_as_a_file format_interface⠀⇛ One of the things I’ve done this cycle leading up to GNOME 45 is some rework on how we process *.syscap files. In particular, I wanted to really push the GListModel interface in GTK 4. That is a tall order at first sight because Sysprof capture files easily have hundreds of thousands of data frames. To create an object for each would be an enormous amount of overhead. However, GListModel allows you to create objects on demand, which means you only need to create them as necessary. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ SUSE’s Corporate Blog ☛ What_is_a_Real-Time_Operating System?⠀⇛ The world of computing is full of intricate systems designed to serve specific needs.

The Chocolate Factory has seen fit to sever staffers’ links to the outside electronic world, admittedly on a small scale, according to internal documents viewed by CNBC. Roughly 2,500 Googlers were selected for the internet air-gap trial, and then following some feedback the search giant adjusted it so that people can opt out and others can volunteer. The Register was able to confirm the pilot program with Google, which told us it was being limited to fewer than two percent of workstations. Those who choose to participate will have their general internet access removed along with root privileges on their individual boxes if they had that. # ⚓ Buttondown ☛ More_Software_Projects_need_Defenses_of Design⠀⇛ I was gonna write an rant about the potential probabilistic model checking, then realized I needed to look at projects besides PRISM and STORM.

When the doctors did not pay ransom demands, attackers leaked nude patient pictures and patient info. One attack was by AlphV (BlackCat) on Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery. The other attack was by an unnamed group or individual on Gary Motykie, MD. The style of the leak site and contact methods for the Motykie leak site were not familiar to DataBreaches, and a spokesperson for AlphV told DataBreaches that they were not responsible for the Motykie attack or leak site. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Recycling_giant_TOMRA_pulls_systems offline_following_‘extensive_cyberattack’⠀⇛ Norwegian mining and recycling giant TOMRA says it has isolated tech systems as it deals with an “extensive cyberattack.” TOMRA has multiple divisions that focus on areas including waste and recycling solutions, metal sorting systems, mining machine systems and food sorting equipment.

Environmental scientists have called the idea a distraction from cutting emissions from fossil fuels. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Extreme_Heat_Grips_3_Continents_as_Climate Change_Warms_Earth⠀⇛ Across North America, Europe and Asia, hundreds of millions of people endured blistering conditions. The U.S. special envoy for climate change called it “a threat to all of humankind.” # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Al_Gore_on_Extreme_Heat_and_the_Fight Against_Fossil_Fuels⠀⇛ The past few weeks have him even more worried than usual. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Spain,_Facing_a_Future_of_Drought,_Turns to_Medieval_Solutions⠀⇛ Acequias, a network of water channels created by the Moors over 1,000 years ago, are being excavated and brought back to life to adapt to the crises of climate change. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ As_China_Bakes_in_Record_Heat,_John_Kerry Presses_Beijing_on_Climate_Change⠀⇛ The extreme heat wave choking China has become a talking point for John Kerry, President Biden’s climate envoy, in his meetings with officials in Beijing. # ⚓ Axios ☛ Historic,_dangerous_heat_sweeps_3_continents⠀⇛ Record_highs_are_being_set in the U.S., Europe and parts of Asia on Tuesday, in an example of simultaneous, compounding extreme_weather and climate events — which scientists have been warning of for some time.

That’s been true for seemingly endless weeks now with no end in sight. (And, by the way, elsewhere in the northern hemisphere, Siberia is having its own possibly record fire season.) If you didn’t notice any of this, though, I have a possible explanation. Perhaps the vast clouds of smoke from those fires that recently gave the skies of Chicago and Detroit, New York and Washington, D.C., the worst air quality on the planet blurred your vision. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ Spiegel ☛ Green_Aviation:_Could_Norwegian_Electric Planes_Be_a_Model_for_the_Rest_of_the_World?⠀⇛ The global aviation industry has a massive climate problem, and many are looking to Norway for a possible solution.

Goldman’s investment banking revenue declined 20% from a year ago and trading dropped 14%. That and the impairment charges helped drag earnings down 58%, to $1.2 billion. It was the firm’s lowest quarterly profit since early 2020. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Crisis_deepens_at_Dunzo_as_it_further_delays staff_salaries;_Indian_investors_double_down_on_Big_Tech stocks⠀⇛ Kabeer Biswas, CEO, Dunzo Layoffs imminent: Quick commerce platform Dunzo, which is backed by Reliance Retail, has mandated cutting costs by around 30-40% internally, sources told ETtech.

Why it matters:Trump previously attempted to delay proceedings for E. Jean Carroll’s lawsuit over his remarks by arguing that he should be granted immunity because he made the comments at issue while speaking to the media as president. # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ City_AM_owners_seek_investment_but_also open_to_a_sale⠀⇛ MD Lawson Muncaster said they are thinking about the “next chapter of City AM’s story”. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Nevada_Government_Begs_For_A_Lawsuit_After Rejecting_Resident’s_‘GOBK2CA’_License_Plate⠀⇛ There aren’t many sites with “tech” in their names that provide this much discussion on the First Amendment implications of vanity plate laws.

Barnette that the free speech rights contained in the First Amendment barred public schools from forcing students to salute the American flag at assembly every morning. “If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion, or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein,” wrote Justice Robert Jackson for the court. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Ninth_Circuit_Says_City’s_Rejection_Of_Man’s ‘FCKBLM’_License_Plate_Is_Totally_Constitutional⠀⇛ The law surrounding vanity license plates is unsettled, to vastly understate the reality. There’s no consensus across states, much less federal jurisdictions. Every government seems to have its own idea about what’s offensive and what isn’t, as well as its own take on whether a personalized plate is government speech or merely the expression of the person who acquired the plate. # ⚓ Shadowproof ☛ They_Tried_To_Censor_The_‘Sound_Of_Freedom’ With_An_Air_Horn⠀⇛ There I was sitting in the movie theatre trying to watch “Sound of Freedom,” when I heard the sound of an air horn. # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Has_Chinese_foreign_minister_Qin_Gang_gone missing?⠀⇛ Rumors are swirling about Chinese foreign minister Qin Gang, who has not made a public appearance in three weeks amid a series of high-level diplomatic meetings.

But with many Iranian women having gotten used to going out with their heads uncovered in recent months, it remains unclear whether the patrols will be able to stop them. # ⚓ JURIST ☛ UK_High_Court_overturns_law_that_allowed_agency work_to_fill_strike_action_vacancies⠀⇛ On Thursday, the UK High Court overturned a 2022 law that allowed businesses to hire temporary agency workers to fill staffing gaps because of strike action.

The company put out a blog post, saying that anyone could use its patents, and that Tesla would never initiate a patent lawsuit. We’ve been happy to see him continue to stand by this position over the years. # ⚓ Kluwer Patent Blog ☛ G_1/23_„Solar_Cell“_–_Existing Products_in_a_new_Light?

The only interesting bit was the cleverness with which Genius figured out Google had copied the lyrics from its site, by sneakily adding in curved or non-curved apostrophes to see if the same ones showed up in Google’s version of the lyrics. * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Politics and World Events⠀➾ # ⚓ Crying_“woke”⠀⇛ I’m not going to comment on the debate; this one has been rehashed ad nauseum in every social circle that I’ve known. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Is_Systemd-free_really_for_me?⠀⇛ I’ve been running Systemd-free distros for the past few years. When I first got into Linux in 2016, it seemed like all the “cool” Linux people used Systemd-free distros and hated on Systemd, but now it seems like this group is not held in the same esteem as they once were. More frequently I hear people more so making fun of this mentality and seeing it as overly dogmatic. By the time I had started using Linux Systemd was already ubiquitous so I ended up learning it in the process of learning how to use Linux. When I first tried out Void, I remember trying to start sshd and being utterly baffled when I got the message “command not found: systemctl” since on every other distro I had used, that was the way you started things. It wasn’t until then that I finally understood really what Systemd was. I really like Void, it’s certainly a bit less polished than others like Arch, and I wish there was a more standardized package naming convention, but nevertheless I find myself switching back to it every few months whenever I leave. It uses runit, its own init system which is probably as close to bare bones as you can get. Each “service” is made up of a directory with at least a shell script to start it, with additional scripts for other functionality. To enable a “service” you sym-link it to /var/run/runit and to disable a service you delete the sym-link. If all you are doing is enabling a few daemons like ssh and tlp, this makes the process very easy. # ⚓ A_New_Firefox_Workflow⠀⇛ It feels like the web has really changed a lot over the past decades, but innovation in web browser workflows has been stagnant by comparison. For the most part everyone is still just doing the address bar and horizontal tab list at the top of their screen, and it’s only been fairly recently that some browsers like Vivaldi and even Edge have started experimenting beyond that. I gave Vivaldi a try yesterday and really liked it. I had it set up with a vertical tab bar on the left and a side panel with various bookmarks at the right, a setup that I think makes a lot of sense since I can sometimes end up with dozens of tabs. Hardly any websites make full use of the available screen width anyway. I almost stuck with Vivaldi, but a couple obscure bugs with keyboard shortcuts had me coming back to Firefox in the end. # ⚓ Golf_Log_Commands⠀⇛ A perlrun(1) optimization would be the -l switch, which removes newlines from the input, and puts them back on for the output: [...] Next, there are five forks. “sort | uniq -c | sort -n” can be replaced with tally(1), which will be a little bit faster, or 158% by one random benchmark. tally(1) got itself written because “sort | uniq - c | sort -n” came up a lot when doing log searches. # ⚓ Maybe_MacOS_Isn’t_That_Bad?⠀⇛ I get the impression that whoever’s designing this OS has a mild hatred for people who use multiple monitors. When full screening a window on one monitor, it completely hides the menu bar on the other for instance. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software. It’s like the World Wide Web but a lot lighter. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 7919 ➮ Generation completed at 02:43, i.e. 111 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
