The number of pages grows and the community has flourished. Geminispace is not going away. Lupa, which restricts itself to no more than 10,000 URLs per capsule, has a catalogue of almost_a_million_pages (most of them live when last polled) and it_was_aware_of_over_2,500_live_capsules (like Web sites except another protocol) when last checked. Based on the_latest_Netcraft_report, the World Wide Web continues to shrink (see graph below). Can we hope for a future without WEI/DRM [1, 2, 3, 4] or will the near future lock BSD and Linux out of the World Wide Web (WWW) forever after*? █ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Netcraft_slide⦈_ “This reflects a loss of 5.5 million sites,” says Netcraft about last month, “but a gain of 231,918 domains and 19,453 web-facing computers.” _____ * WEI ought to be mentioned to friends, family, peers (colleagues) at work. Time is at the essence. Action is urgently needed along with an admonition to contact political representatives, as they can compel Google to stop/backtrack. Free software users are rightly_concerned and this new video has a good point about Google aiming to become the gatekeeper for the entire Web, albeit this more_authoritative_link is worth sharing with your national representatives. Google already gives every appearance of starting to roll out WEI, slowly and quietly. The way things are moving, if there is some buy-in by a few key sites, Google will be able to lock BSD and Linux out of the World Wide Web (WWW) by the end of the year.

of panel stacking in its committees? The above should never be allowed to happen in a healthy, vendor-neutral organisation. Remember that Microsoft_has_more_board seats_than_any_other_company! Because the seats are for sale (as openly admitted in the IRS filings). “A stacked panel, on the other hand, is like a stacked deck: it is packed with people who, on the face of things, should be neutral, but who are in fact strong supporters of our technology. The key to stacking a panel is being able to choose the moderator. Most conference organizers allow the moderator to select die panel, so if you can pick the moderator, you win. Since you can’t expect representatives of our competitors to speak on your behalf, you have to get the moderator to agree to having only “independent ISVs” on the panel. No one from Microsoft or any other formal backer of the competing technologies would be allowed -just ISVs who have to use this stuff in the “real world.” Sounds marvellously independent doesn’t it? In feet, it allows us to stack the panel with ISVs that back our cause. Thus, the “independent” panel ends up telling the audience that our technology beats the others hands down. Get the press to cover this panel, and you’ve got a major win on your hands.” –Microsoft,_internal_document [PDF] ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿

Bonus: SeaMonkey 2.53.17, WEI, Firefox on Linux Getting Worse. The special client that Mozilla VPN has for Mullvad (they use Mullvad’s VPN network) has a_really_nasty_security_hole_that_Mozilla_has_failed_to_address properly. The long story short is that Mozilla incompetently designed their client software, then refused to fix the problem for over three months after a security researcher at SUSE reported it to them, at which time it was publicly disclosed. This is Microsoft-like in how Mozilla responds to security problems. Microsoft typically waits until it’s an emergency and there’s malware making the rounds and they’ve taken a completely unnecessary PR black eye by having to be outed as not caring about security. And why would you want security in an operating system or some Virtual PRIVATE Network software, right? Mozilla essentially just repackages Mullvad VPN which already has an excellent privacy policy and open source client that has worked fine for me. Every once in a while I just grab the latest RPM, verify it, and then unpack it on top of the last one using dnf. It works great. I have had no problems with Mullvad VPN. Basically, Mozilla’s contributions here are raising the price, having a privacy and terms of use policy that go on for miles so you could be selling them a kidney (Who knows? I’m not a lawyer and I don’t have time for this shit.), creating a really piss-poorly designed client (calling it bad would be praise at this point), and then not fixing gaping security holes in it. To make matters worse, the idiots running Mozilla seem to think that “Linux support” means you shit out an Ubuntu package and ignore the RPM users when making an RPM isn’t even that hard. So apparently they don’t need the money badly enough to have an RPM build bot. Roy Schestowitz asked me what I’m using lately for Web browsing. I have a really highly custom-configured SeaMonkey 2.53.17 from Fedora RPM, followed by GNOME Web (WebkitGTK), followed by Firefox ESR 115.1, as of this writing. I also have Brave because it’s Chromium without the spyware and garbage. Like Google’s new total Web DRM and super-cookie (WEI and FLoC). SeaMonkey is certainly not perfect, but NoScript and ubo-legacy make it much more tolerable and secure. I only allow limited amounts of JavaScript and I have some useragent hacks (including so Google won’t log me out of GMail and say my app isn’t secure), and overall I mostly have it set to tell Web sites I’m using Firefox ESR 102.14. It’s a lie, but any sites that detect UAs and break themselves on purpose don’t deserve the truth. Since I don’t know what will happen when I click on a link for a bank or something, I use “Standalone SeaMonkey Mail” and told it to open /opt/firefox, but not to open links I middle click on anywhere else in Firefox. The extension also added a right-click menu item to SeaMonkey called “Open in External Browser” so if I hit a page that really doesn’t want to cooperate, I can press that and open the link in Firefox and then close Firefox again. In a way, Firefox ESR is sort of like the “Open in Internet Explorer” I was using in Mozilla Suite sometimes on Windows back in the day. The wheel turns, does it not? Then I have Palefill (intended for Pale Moon) which applies hacks to make some bad Web sites work in SeaMonkey by rewriting the offending function in a way that works. That’s why I can use my WordPress editor right now. SeaMonkey 2.53.17 (at least on Fedora) seems to have made some good improvements to Web standards and quality of life (you can more easily add search engines to it now and HLS video sites and MPEG-4 codecs are working again. Another reason I like SeaMonkey is you can set global prefs and then give individual sites the right to do something else. Something Mozilla pretty much got rid of in Firefox a long time ago. Like, I don’t let sites set cookies in SeaMonkey that persist longer than that browser session, but my search engine and a few others get exemptions (“Allow”) as easily as right-click, view page info, Permissions. This is important because sites like Reddit track what users who don’t have accounts look at with a 15 year cookie. The point is mainly to tie together a user profile across multiple VPN servers, on and off the VPN, and through different ISPs and WiFi networks. Truly nasty. Then there’s ChatZilla. So I have an IRC client too. The Mozilla Suite (which is what Netscape 6/7 were based on) went on as SeaMonkey for a lot of reasons, but mainly because the development practices at Mozilla went on in the wrong direction to the point where they ship a lot of broken crap. The particular person they complained about is at Google now working on Chrome, but there’s bigger problems. Going back to Mozilla VPN. Given their generalized incompetence in making software for Linux (Firefox is basically being held together by bird shit and Red Hat patches at this point.), it does not surprise me at all that nobody there, at this company looking to make a quick buck and then call it done, bothered to use PolKit correctly. They obviously gave this one to some pissed off intern or something, and it’s not at all secure and you have to wonder what other horrors are in there. Even when it comes to Firefox, Mozilla still defaults to giving Linux users software-decoded video, X11, and non-accelerated “WebRender”. You have to dive deep and set environment variables and about:config crap to get it running as well as it does on other platforms. They half-ass everything on Linux, the only platform where their stinking rotting mess is even the default, and then they pack it full of adware, spyware, and DRM, and wonder why everyone moves to another browser. The problem is that this other browser is often Google Chrome, and_as_Vivaldi put_it, Google seems to abuse their marketshare to inflict another horrible “proposed standard” that chips away at the open Web every day. When Google Chrome started out in 2008, it was obvious to me then that Google had ambitions far beyond being a search engine. The only possible reason to not keep sitting back and paying Mozilla to be a Web browser company was that they planned to dump unlimited money into Chrome while slowly bleeding out Mozilla until it couldn’t operate any longer. As Chrome grows, the open Web is in more and more danger. They’re now in a position to demand not only crippled ad blockers, but a “standard” that won’t allow you to view a site even if you use a proprietary one that has been attested to by an NSA/CIA-affiliate such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, and MAYBE Mozilla. Tor would be finished, SeaMonkey would be finished, GNOME Web finished. Linux with anything? Who knows. “Here, run this!” What’s in it. “Fuck you.” -Google That is WEI in a nutshell. And Mozilla will pretend to push back and then go ahead and swallow, like Widevine. █ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣠⣤⣴⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣤⣤⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⢛⣉⣩⣭⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣤⣤⣭⣍⣙⡛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⣋⣥⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⠀⠈⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢋⣥⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⣀⣀⠀⠈⠙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡡⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠿⠿⣿⣶⣶⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠉⠙⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣰⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢡⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣠⣾⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠻⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢋⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠁⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠼⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠉⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⠟⠛⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠁⢀⣉⣙⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣷⡀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡄⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣍⡻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁ ⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠉⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⣰⡟⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀ ⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣼⣿⠁⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀ ⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠛⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 794 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2023/08/07/reddit-windows-spam/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2023/08/07/reddit-windows-spam/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 08.07.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Linux_Subreddit_Mostly_Windows_Spam_After_I_Got_Booted_for_“Off-Topic_Post”.

Many of the people who are stuck on Windows really wish they weren’t. My optometrist still uses Windows XP. I asked him why. He said he’d have to throw away a machine that costs more than an entire brand new car if he ever stops using Windows XP for that one application. Outside of legacy applications, most people no longer have any real use for Windows and simply keep it out of ignorance or inertia. Most video games don’t even need it anymore. John Carmack’s assessment that the future of gaming on the PC was the Windows API, running on Linux, in Wine, proved accurate. Wine is picking up the patches that Valve put in the “Proton” fork that’s integrated in Steam. The average Windows user could do everything they do today with more reliability and less frustration on Linux. You want to use your Web browser? Just sign in. It’s all still there. You want to take your Steam library? Run it in Proton and it’s basically all there. You want the boring office software? Well, LibreOffice is pretty good. As legacy use cases for Windows break down, people abandon it. Linux has reaped a lot of new users one way or the other, and the Mac has too. Microsoft’s Windows revenue is “cooling” fast. That’s the new name for “It’s so bad, don’t even ask.”. AMD and Intel are suffering along with them. You only need to type in “PC shipments” or “Intel” or “AMD” “earnings” and look at the carnage playing out. I don’t actually like my computing to change much. Linux and GNOME give me a platform to run SeaMonkey, Firefox ESR, and Brave (depending on the mood I’m in). Sometimes I use some of the desktop applications or play games (native, Windows, retroarch emulator cores…). I haven’t felt like I was “missing out” in a long time. And what is this Clown Windows thing anyway? Who is the market for some awful timeshare system involving Windows 11 where you can pay Microsoft an exorbitant amount to plant even more malware in it than they could hide if it has to run on a local computer? Where is the cost savings pitch that you can run by a Pointy Hair Boss on your PowerPoint? I can run Windows 11 using GNOME Boxes. Granted I need to poke some registry keys at the command prompt before the installer to disable some Microsoft “alleged security” designed to stop it from running on older PCs that could otherwise handle it. Where does having Clown Windows benefit me? I only run it as an appliance that I converted from a Microsoft Browser Appliance for their VM. Microsoft calls this DaaS or Desktop as a Service, of course backwards that’s just SaaD. And forwards, it sounds kind of like a guy rushing his way through saying “Dat Ass!”. The entire thing reeks of some campaign to get “Windows” googlebombed some more with SPAM farms like ZDNet and “authors” like “Ed Bought”. (Roy calls him Ad Bot.) I see “Clown Windows” as another way to make a hell of a lot of noise and burn through overbuilt and unsold capacity in Azure, like ChatGPT and Bing Chat do. Both have been lobotomized and aren’t amusing anymore. They “fixed” everything that was remotely interesting or funny about them and censored them and programmed them to reply with canned propaganda. They’re still, fundamentally, a money loser that you’d only do to burn through unsold processing power. Windows “Clown” is just Software Lock-In as a Disservice (SLIaaD?) One of the favorite things of many Windows users to do now is deliberately brick the update system so Microsoft can’t make it nastier from that point. There’s no security updates at that point, but the malware situation on Windows is bad no matter what you do. This won’t even let you do that. The “Clown Windows” will just update itself and make sure you don’t do that. It also makes you a “tenant”, which Microsoft actually uses in this context. Pay up chump, or get evicted. This would make that a “thing” in desktop computing so that regular users can make the same mistake people with Web servers in Azure do. I still read ZDNet for the Dystopian Hell articles sometimes. Gotta admit I was fascinated at how military industrial complex shit goes to the cops and then cop shit ends up at McDonalds. Did you know they want to install license plate readers at McDonalds so they can figure out with complete accuracy how often you go there? It’s also easy to just turn around and buy your DMV records from the state, they can figure out who you work for and what your income likely is, and all the while you think you’re safe from the creepy McDonalds people because you’re paying cash and wearing a Hillary Clinton mask and don’t use an app. 🙂 ZDNet promotes this as a feature. ZDNet told me that IBM,_one_of_the perpetrators_of_the_Holocaust, and current owner of Red Hat, is_going_to partner_with_McDonalds on the_license_plate_scanners.

§ Server⠀➾ # ⚓ SJVN ☛ Mirantis_unveils_k0smotron:_An_Open-Source Streamlined_Kubernetes_Management_Project⠀⇛ In a significant stride towards simplifying Kubernetes management, Mirantis, the well-regarded developer-centric company, has launched an innovative open-source project named k0smotron. This new project empowers Kubernetes operators with enhanced security, flexibility, and efficiency in managing Kubernetes control planes. k0smotron is a Kubernetes operator designed to manage the lifecycle of k0s control planes in any distro’s Kubernetes cluster. By running the control plane on a k8s cluster, you can enjoy and leverage the underlying cluster’s high availability and auto-healing functionalities. Once in place, K0smotron changes how you provision Kubernetes control planes on Kubernetes. It works by installing the k0smotron operator into an existing Kubernetes cluster. There you can use it to create and manage k0s control planes in that cluster. It does this by leveraging the pattern of working with custom resources to manage the k0s control planes’ lifecycle. k0smotron will automatically create all the needed Kubernetes lower-level constructs, such as pods, config maps, etc. It also includes support for remote worker nodes. # ⚓ SUSE’s Corporate Blog ☛ 2023-08-01_[Older]_Edge_Computing: Empowering_Real-Time_Data_Processing_and_Analysis⠀⇛ o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ GNU World Order (Audio Show) ☛ GNU_World_Order_524⠀⇛ **gjs** and **glade** from the **l** software series of Slackware. shasum - a256=31274b36c54c9e2d0adfeda825a044c1378c0ddf5a3fd1a4c3c63219ea829089 # ⚓ 2023-08-02_[Older]_FLOSS_Weekly_743:_Data_Is_Surprisingly Exciting_–_Apache_SeaTunnel,_William_Kwok⠀⇛ # ⚓ The TLLTS Podcast ☛ 2023-08-03_[Older]_The_Linux_Link_Tech Show_Episode_1013⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-06_[Older]_ChromeOS_becomes_a_Linux_distro,_GNOME Activities_changes,_Mint_21.3:_Linux_&_Open_Source_News⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-05_[Older]_LibreBoot_&_GNU_Boot_Drama_Is_Deeper Than_Expected⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-05_[Older]_Working_On_My_GitLab_Projects_–_DT LIVE!⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-04_[Older]_Linux_SMASHES_macOS_market_share_on July’s_hardware_survey.⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-04_[Older]_It’s_gonna_be_an_exciting_journey_🐧🚗 #linux⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-04_[Older]_Working_On_My_GitLab_Projects_–_DT LIVE!⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-04_[Older]_MX_Linux_23_overview_|_simple configuration,_high_stability,_solid_performance.⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-03_[Older]_Arch_Linux’s_Python_Protects_Me_From Myself⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-03_[Older]_How_to_install_LeoCAD_on_Debian_12⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-03_[Older]_Linux_Commands_in_60_Seconds_–_The_rsync Command⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-03_[Older]_Linux_Commands_in_60_Seconds_–_The passwd_Command⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-03_[Older]_Oracle_Linux_9.2_Quick_Overview #shorts⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-03_[Older]_Life_Is_Awkward…Linux_Makes_It_More Awkward!⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-03_[Older]_Blend_OS_:_The_Game-Changing_Linux Distro_That_Ends_Distrohopping_FOREVER!_(NEW)⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-03_[Older]_How_to_install_Krita_on_Debian_12⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-02_[Older]_Web_Environment_Integrity_Is_Being Tested_In_Chrome!⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-02_[Older]_Access_your_PCs_from_ANYWHERE_with REMOTE_DESKTOPS_(Linux,_Mac,_and_Windows)⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-02_[Older]_How_to_install_Zorin_OS_16.3_Core⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-02_[Older]_It’s_just_the_beginning_:P#linux #terminal⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-01_[Older]_Zorin_OS_16.3_Core_overview_|_Make_your computer_better.⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-01_[Older]_GNOME_Finally_Embraces_Native_Tiling!!⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-01_[Older]_Dired,_Neotree_and_True_Transparency_– Configuring_Emacs_05⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-01_[Older]_The_“Nebula”_PC_Case_from_System76_is Here…Butis_it_Worth_It?⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-08-01_[Older]_How_to_install_Audacity_on_Debian_12⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-31_[Older]_How_to_install_Toontown_Rewritten_on Debian_12⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-31_[Older]_Hidden_Features_of_the_Steam_Deck_you need_to_know_about.⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-31_[Older]_How_to_install_Linux_Mint_21.2_Mate⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-31_[Older]_ZIP_Domains_Are_A_Disaster_&_A_Scammers Dream⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-30_[Older]_GNU/Linux_“Operating_System”_Isn’t_Real |_Brodie_Reacts⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-30_[Older]_How_to_install_Steam_on_Debian_12⠀⇛ o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Zenity_incompatibility_with_Yad⠀⇛ EasyOS has ‘zenity’ a symlink to ‘yad’. The latter is a fork of the former, and ‘zenity’ is I think an inactive project. ‘yad’ has moved on and no longer completely compatible, so the symlink may not work, as was found here: [...] # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ 2023-08-06_Marble:_An_Open-Source_Google Earth_Alternative_for_Linux⠀⇛ # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ I_Replaced_Chrome_With_GNOME_Web,_Here’s_How It_Went⠀⇛ The GNOME web browser is one of the official GNOME core applications. GNOME core applications are sometimes bundled with GNOME installations. They let you perform some common tasks right from the get-go, once you’ve installed GNOME. Things like the System Monitor and Calculator are core apps. GNOME Web is one of the long-standing members of the core group, it’s been around since 2002, when it was forked from another—now defunct—project called Galeon. Until 2012 it used to be called Epiphany. You’ll still see this name in use here and there, like the names of the installation packages. GNOME Web conforms to the GNOME human interface guidelines, and it’s written using the GTK toolkits. This delivers an authentic native GNOME appearance and behavior. GNOME Web reflects your current GNOME theme, and it looks and feels like an integral part of GNOME universe, not an add-on. Underneath the hood, GNOME web uses Apple’s WebKit framework as its browser engine. This is the layout and rendering engine used in Apple’s Safari browser. It was ported to GNOME as WebKitGTK. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ service_vs._systemctl_in_Linux:_What_Are_the Differences?⠀⇛ If you want to know more about init systems, it’s important to first understand the systemctl and service commands and their underlying differences. # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ 2023-08-04_[Older]_How_to_Install_Debian_on VirtualBox⠀⇛ # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ 2023-08-03_[Older]_How_to_Connect_to_Wi-Fi Through_the_Linux_Terminal_With_Nmcli⠀⇛ # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ 2023-08-01_[Older]_How_to_Fix_Bootloader Problems_Due_to_GRUB⠀⇛ # ⚓ Virtualbox,_how_do_I_start,_shutdown_and_save_a_machine state_using_the_terminal_in_Linux⠀⇛ To start a virtual machine from the terminal you need to find the uuid of the virtual machine you would like to start. # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ 2023-07-31_[Older]_Automating_Podman with_RHEL_system_roles⠀⇛ # ⚓ Upcoming_webinar:_A_better_way_to_manage_Infrastructure_and automate_IT_tasks⠀⇛ Most businesses today have a combination of on- premises, cloud, and edge infrastructure, running diverse workloads on bare metal servers, virtual machines, and containers across Kubernetes clusters. They are looking for management and automation software to run on-premises and cloud- based management services to handle the complexity. # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-08-04_[Older]_How_to_install_Mid- Fight-Masses_REWORK_REMAKE_on_a_Chromebook⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-08-03_[Older]_How_to_install Friday_Night_Funkin’_–_Psych_Engine_0.7_on_a_Chromebook⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-08-03_[Older]_How_to_install_Krita on_Debian_12⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-08-03_[Older]_How_to_install LeoCAD_on_Debian_12⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-08-01_[Older]_How_to_install Audacity_on_Debian_12⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-07-31_[Older]_How_to_install Toontown_Rewritten_on_Debian_12⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-07-30_[Older]_How_to_install_Steam on_Debian_12⠀⇛ # ⚓ TechTarget ☛ Build_a_multi-cloud_Kubernetes_cluster_step_by step⠀⇛ It can be complicated for IT teams to manage resources that span multiple clouds. One way to improve management is to set up a multi-cloud Kubernetes cluster that uses a single control plane to manage nodes in multiple cloud environments. # ⚓ TechTarget ☛ An_introduction_to_Git_for_network_engineers ⠀⇛ Git can be a useful tool for network engineers who manage complex infrastructure, especially as networking increasingly overlaps with software, automation and DevOps. # ⚓ Network World ☛ Moving_tasks_from_foreground_to_background and_back_again⠀⇛ Moving a command or script that you’re running on the command line to the background so that you can start another job and managing backgrounded processes requires only a handful of commands. o § WINE or Emulation⠀➾ # ⚓ FEX ☛ FEX_2308_Tagged!⠀⇛ Whoa jeez, another month already? We’ve had our heads down working hard this last month, trying to make FEX-Emu the greatest x86/x86-64 emulator on Linux. A huge focus this month is optimizations because of course what we want is to go fast.

So Chromium is now not going to work on distros with older ‘libva’ — or rather, might not work properly, or might even crash — if you try and run a pre- compiled binary Chromium. o § FSFE⠀➾ # ⚓ FSFE ☛ 2023-08-01_[Older]_CRA_&_IEA_+++_SFP_episode_+++ Summer_Meeting⠀⇛ o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ GTK_4.12_Released⠀⇛ # ⚓ Gentoo ☛ Week_10_report_on_porting_Gentoo_packages_to modern_C⠀⇛ Hello all, I’m here with my week 10 report of my project “Porting gentoo’s packages to modern C” So apart from the usual patching of packages from the tracker the most significant work done this week is getting GNOME desktop on llvm profile. But it is to be noted that the packages gui-libs/libhandy, dev-libs/libgee and sys-libs/libblockdev require gcc fallback environment. net-dialup/ppp was also on our list but thanks to Sam its has not been patched [0] (and fix sent upstream). I’m pretty sure that the same work around would work on musl-llvm profile as well. Overall point being we now have two DEs on llvm profile, GNOME and MATE. Another thing to note is currently gui-libs/gtk- 4.10.4 require overriding of LD to bfd and OBJCOPY to gnu objcopy, it is a dependency for gnome 44.3. # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ JavaScript_Code_to_Detect_Web_Browser⠀⇛ Detecting a web browser type can be quite useful for tailoring user experience to different browsers. However, it’s worth noting that browser detection is usually not recommended as the best approach in most cases. # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ JavaScript_Code_to_Detect_OS_(Operating System)⠀⇛ Today’s increasingly online world requires developers to be equipped with tools and knowledge that enable them to build user-friendly, efficient, and dynamic websites. One crucial aspect of this endeavor involves being able to identify a user’s operating system (OS), which allows for tailored experiences and improved website compatibility. # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ JavaScript_for_loop⠀⇛ The “for loop” is one of the most fundamental and widely used control flow structures in JavaScript. # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ JavaScript_while_loop⠀⇛ JavaScript, like many other programming languages, includes several types of loop statements. These loops are used to perform the same operation multiple times until a certain condition is met. One of the most common types of these loops is the “while” loop. # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ JavaScript_Code_to_Reverse_a_String⠀⇛ JavaScript is a versatile language that allows for an extensive array of operations including the manipulation of text strings. One common operation is reversing a string, or writing it backward. In this article, we’ll explore three different ways of achieving this in JavaScript. # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ Java_Program_to_Reverse_a_String⠀⇛ In Java, reversing a string involves changing the order of characters in a given string, such that the last character becomes the first, the second- last character becomes the second, and so on. There are several ways to reverse a string in Java, but in this article, we will discuss a simple and straightforward approach. # § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ Python_3.12.0_release_candidate_1_released⠀⇛ This release, 3.12.0rc1, is the penultimate release preview. Entering the release candidate phase, only reviewed code changes which are clear bug fixes are allowed between this release candidate and the final release. The second candidate (and the last planned release preview) is scheduled for Monday, 2023-09-04, while the official release of 3.12.0 is scheduled for Monday, 2023-10-02. There will be no ABI changes from this point forward in the 3.12 series, and the goal is that there will be as few code changes as possible. Call to action We strongly encourage maintainers of third- party Python projects to prepare their projects for 3.12 compatibilities during this phase, and where necessary publish Python 3.12 wheels on PyPI to be ready for the final release of 3.12.0. Any binary wheels built against Python 3.12.0rc1 will work with future versions of Python 3.12. As always, report any issues to the Python bug tracker. # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ Understand_Python_main()_Function⠀⇛ Before we delve into the topic, it’s essential to note that Python, unlike languages such as C and C++, does not have a built-in main() function. # ⚓ Converting_Float_to_Int_in_Python:_Precision_and Performance⠀⇛ # ⚓ Python_Decorators:_Enhancing_Functions_and_Methods⠀⇛ # ⚓ Decorators_with_Arguments_in_Python:_A_Deeper Insight⠀⇛ # ⚓ Class_Decorators_in_Python:_Adding_Functionality_to Classes⠀⇛ # ⚓ Mastering_Rounding_in_Python:_Precision_in_Every Calculation⠀⇛ # ⚓ Variable_Scopes_in_Python:_The_Art_of_Keeping Variables_in_Check⠀⇛ # ⚓ Nonlocal_Scopes_and_Variables_in_Python:_Breaking Boundaries⠀⇛ # ⚓ Python_Closures:_A_Functional_Programming_Gem⠀⇛ # ⚓ Python’s_Decimal:_A_Solution_for_Precise Computations⠀⇛ # ⚓ Named_Tuples_in_Python:_Structuring_Data Efficiently⠀⇛ * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Stuart_Langridge:_Numeric Pangrams⠀⇛ A few days ago I had an interesting maths thought which I dropped on_Mastodon: Today’s interesting maths problem to think about: what is the largest total from a correct maths equation which uses any number of +*- symbols, one =, and the digits from 0-9 once each? For example, if we’re doing it for digits 0-4, then 40-12=3 isn’t valid (answer is wrong), 1+3=4 isn’t valid (correct but doesn’t use 0 or 2), 12/4+0=3 is good, and 4*3+0=12 is better (because 12 is higher than 3). o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ France24 ☛ In_Philadelphia,_skin-rotting_drug_‘tranq’ invades_a_neighbourhood_already_devastated_by_opioids⠀⇛ Drug users in the Philadelphia neighbourhood of Kensington have increasingly been turning towards a drug called xylazine, or “tranq”, a veterinary sedative often mixed with other drugs such as heroin or fentanyl.

Skype supports Mac, Windows and Linux. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Let’s_burn_the_planet_…_because_we_can!⠀⇛ There is a term, that in recent years my brain is using a lot when trying to explain to me what my eyes observe. Late-Roman Decadence. I am not a historian, so I might be inaccurate with its actual meaning. For me it just means “wasting because we can”. If you want to see this in action, delete your YouTube cookies to get out of your tech bubble and open its start page. Probably depending on your location, it’s all about eating the biggest meals for 9000€, driving the fastest cars for 777k€, destroying expensive things in the most hilarious ways for 2M€ as well as giving homeless people 100€ and filming them at whatever they do with it before they fall back into their own life of being spat out and ignored by society. For me: disgusting and worth another strategically well sized and well placed comet. But that’s just the depression speaking. So let’s not look at the world, let’s look at and try to tackle my own little problems. I like to have my laptop efficient and quiet. No fan, no moving parts that “klack” or whatever. Just silence. Bonus points if the AC adapter does not emit high-pitched buzzing. My ears are broken and very sensitive to noise. But I also like to have a machine that is as low-spec as it can be. Using less resources should be a good thing, right? So currently I am using an Acer Swift 1, which comes with an N6000 1.1GHz CPU and 8GB of RAM. This is fine for me performance- wise and I can have my usual 5 to 10 applications running with no problems at all. It even plays many of the coop games, my girlfriend comes around the corner with once in a while. For KDE work, the translation summit workflow is one of the things I tend to wait for. It would of course be faster on a higher spec’ed system but it takes around 20 minutes with Fedora and around 4 minutes with Debian on the same machine, so other factors than hardware seem to play a big role in this story as well. Also, I can still have that laptop at the… well… top of my… well… lap without burning my legs or making my blanket smell funny. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Asahi_Linux_project_hooks_up_with_Fedora: Remix_that’s_not_a_remix_coming_soon⠀⇛ The Asahi Linux project, which is working on getting Linux working on Apple Silicon-based Macs, is partnering with the Fedora Project for its new flagship distro. The team behind Asahi Linux has announced its first official flagship distro: the Fedora Asahi Remix. Although the name sounds like one, Asahi Linux isn’t a distro: it’s the project which is porting the Linux kernel to Apple Silicon Macs, meaning Apple laptops and desktops based around the M1 and M2 family of Arm64-instruction-set SOCs. o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Tails_5.16_Is_Out_with_Latest_Tor_Browser 12.5.2⠀⇛ Tails is a privacy and strongly security-focused Linux distribution designed to be run on a live USB drive, allowing users to boot the operating system on any computer while leaving no trace of their activity on the host computer. The distro’s highlight is that it routes all internet traffic through the Tor network, providing high anonymity. Furthermore, it includes a wide range of privacy and security tools such as a PGP email client, Electrum Bitcoin wallet, VeraCrypt disk encryption, etc. Recently, the Tails Project announced the general availability of Tails 5.16, so let’s see what is new. # ⚓ Daniel Pocock ☛ Enrico_Zini,_Mattia_Rizzolo,_Plagiarism_& Debian⠀⇛ Linux distributions are particularly challenging when it comes to attribution of work. The package maintainers do very little work compared to the developers who created the software. Now we have the phenomena of Debian Developer titles for people who never developed anything at all and never will. They are put up on a pedestal to look down their noses at the real developers of upstream projects. Imagine groupies pretending that they are members of the band, despite not being able to play any instruments. The end user sees the identity of the distribution, such as Debian or Fedora, in a more prominent position than the names of real developers. [...] Nonetheless, we have proven the first part of plagiarism: obfuscating the identities of real developers. The first time my name appears in Debian appears to be way_back_in_1998_in_a_bug report. The callous manner in which they disappear people is abhorrent. In an earlier blog, I looked at this from the perspective of modern_slavery_in_Debian. They gave us a promise of recognition in exchange for our contributions. Now they are bouncing the cheques. The second half of the plagiarism case rests on the misattribution of our work to people who contributed less. The strongest evidence of this misattribution is the Non-Uploading_/_Non-Developing_Developer scheme. Under the scheme, the cabal can give a Debian Developer title to somebody who did not contribute any code at all. The implication is that these people can include the title Debian Developer when applying to speak at a conference or applying for membership of another group. It is a form of privilege escalation and plagiarism all in one. The people who obtained these titles are asking to be given the same title and the same respect as those of us who really did author and donate code to the project. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Doug Brown ☛ Building_Alex_Taradov’s_open-source_USB sniffer⠀⇛ A couple of months ago I stumbled upon a post on Hackaday about an inexpensive open-source USB 2.0 sniffer created by Alex Taradov. This is a really cool project! Normally, USB sniffers like this can cost thousands of dollars, especially if you’re paying for fancy protocol decoding and also want high-speed 480 Mbps support. This one costs about $50 in parts to assemble yourself, although it will take hours to solder and you will need some experience with hot air (or reflow oven) soldering since the USB PHY is a QFN chip with an exposed pad underneath. # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Ohms_being_expressed_with_R_instead_of_Ω⠀⇛ It was only in the clear light of morning that I realised what I needed was staring me right in the face. 75R is equivilent to 75 Ω! # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ Raspberry_Pis_Found_in_Abandoned_Spin Scooters_in_Seattle⠀⇛ As of writing, it’s not clear what the Raspberry Pi 4 Bs were actually used for inside the scooter. At first glance, it seems like an overpowered option for something like an electric scooter but without exact confirmation of its purpose, we can only speculate. No doubt it requires much more power than something smaller like a Raspberry Pi Zero. # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ Raspberry_Pi_Zero_W_Turns_Old_CRT_TV_into Smart_TV⠀⇛ When it comes to revitalizing old hardware, no SBC is quite as versatile as the Raspberry Pi. You can cram a Pi into anything from an old typewriter to a Commodore 64 with some exciting results depending on how far you want to take it. Today, we’re sharing another cool project that revitalizes old hardware with new tech created by Saugat Gamuwa with Maker Sci over at YouTube. In his latest video, Gamuwa shows us how he managed to transform an old CRT TV into a smart TV. # ⚓ ROMchip ☛ Tools_of_the_Trade:_How_a_Device_Called_the Rejuvenator_Is_Keeping_the_Technology_of_Yesterday_Alive Today⠀⇛ As I gained experience with repairing arcade games, I acquired some useful tools, including an obscure device known as a cathode ray tube (CRT) rejuvenator. As the name suggests, this device rejuvenates old CRTs, thereby extending an old television set’s life. Much like a defibrillator, a rejuvenator generates an electric shock to a TV’s heart. As I will explain, using this device requires more than simply reading the manual because what’s not in the manual is often just as important as its contents, and what you don’t know can do much more harm than good. The goal of this article is to briefly describe the history of those old CRT television sets, and how one of the tools created to service them still serves a useful purpose in the restoration and operation of CRT-based arcade machines. I hope to convey how much the maintenance and restoration of old TV hardware depends upon the skill of the operator as much as the tools themselves. A rejuvenator is not as useful or as commonplace as a multimeter, but for a certain subset of games, it’s just as valuable and useful. I will then conclude by reflecting on the status of arcade conservation and how the rejuvenator can continue to keep game history alive today. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ An_Open_Firmware_For_LILYGO’s_E-ink_Smart Watch⠀⇛ The world’s first quartz wristwatches were miles ahead of electric and mechanical wristwatches by most standards of the time, their accuracy was unprecedented and the batteries typically lasted somewhere on the order of a year. Modern smart watches, at least in terms of battery life, have taken a step backwards — depending on use, some can require daily charging. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Blinkenlights_To_Bootloader:_A_Guide_To_STM32 Development⠀⇛ While things like the Arduino platform certainly opened up the gates of microcontroller programming to a much wider audience, it can also be limiting in some ways. The Arduino IDE, for example, abstracts away plenty of the underlying machinations of the hardware, and the vast amount of libraries can contribute to this effect as well. It’s not a problem if you just need a project to get up and running, in fact, that’s one of its greatest strengths. But for understanding the underlying hardware we’d recommend taking a look at something like this video series on the STM32 platform. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Star_Wars_Pit_Droid_Has_A_Jetson_Brain⠀⇛ In the Star Wars universe, pit droids are little foldable robots that perform automated repairs on spacecraft and the like. They were introduced in 1999’s The Phantom Menace, and beyond the podracing scenes, are probably the only good thing to come out of that particular film. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ XDA ☛ Rokid_Vision_review:_The_first_Android_TV_box_for_AR glasses_is_a_no-frills_affair⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Central ☛ Redmi_12_5G_review:_Bringing_5G_to everyone_|_Android_Central⠀⇛ # ⚓ Realme_8_4G_gets_stable_Android_13_based_Realme_UI_4 update⠀⇛ # ⚓ Gizmo China ☛ Redmi_Note_12_Pro_4G_receives_Android_13 update⠀⇛ # ⚓ SlashGear ☛ Why_Your_Android_Auto_Keeps_Disconnecting_And How_To_Fix_It⠀⇛ # ⚓ Dignited ☛ How_to_Relocate_the_Chrome_Address_Bar_on_Your Android_Device_–_Dignited⠀⇛ # ⚓ SlashGear ☛ 5_Entertainment_Apps_Every_Android_User_Should Have_Installed⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Police ☛ What_the_Pixel_Tablet_can_learn_from_the Nexus_7_(2013)_on_the_Android_Police_podcast⠀⇛ * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o ⚓ It’s FOSS ☛ Farewell_to_a_Legend:_Creator_of_Vim,_Bram_Moolenaar, Passed_Away⠀⇛ Bram Moolenaar, the creator of Vim, has passed away.

Essentially, the client can be exploited by any user on a system to, among other things, configure their own arbitrary VPN setup, redirect network traffic to outside parties, and break existing VPN setups. That’s no good on shared computers with multiple users. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Rlang ☛ Introduction_to_Qualitative_Comparative_Analysis_ (QCA)_using_R_workshop⠀⇛ Join our workshop on Introduction to Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) using R, which is a part of our workshops for Ukraine series! o § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ # ⚓ Baldur Bjarnason ☛ Free_and_open_source_software_projects are_in_transition_(and_some_links)⠀⇛ I was trying to figure out ways of articulating the tension the relationship between free/libre/open source software (FLOSS) and the economic environment it exists in when I realised that FLOSS created the environment. Modern tech only exists because of free and open source software. [...] Even in the native app domain, most of the frameworks people use to create cross-platform apps are open source. A majority of the value created by modern software ultimately comes from free and open source software. From this perspective most VC investments aren’t about creating value but about strip-mining FLOSS projects and communities. The scale is for extraction. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Thorsten Ball ☛ To_truly_fix_a_bug,_one_must_truly_know_the bug⠀⇛ It’s really easy (and often tempting) to fix a bug without really fixing it. You make the wrong behaviour go away, but you haven’t fixed the bug. Many race conditions can be “fixed” by adding sleep-statements, but in order to really fix them, you need to understand why and when and how they happen. o § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ # ⚓ CubicleNate ☛ Junction_|_Application_Chooser_for Hyperlinks⠀⇛ Long ago, on a laptop far, far away the web browser and application choices were simple. That was a long time ago and things are just different in the current age of the computer. Having multiple browsers, and work flows for various work loads on your computer can make opening links somewhat more complicated. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ James G ☛ Blog_about_what_you_want⠀⇛ Blog about what you want on your personal website. Your personal website is a place to express yourself on the web. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ IT Jungle ☛ As_I_See_It:_Focus⠀⇛ I heard a startling statistic the other day: The average American worker is only able to concentrate for three minutes at a stretch without interruptions – most of them self-inflicted. That seemed hyperbolic at first, and equally exaggerated when the stat floated through my brain later that same evening. Surely, that can’t be true; and it certainly didn’t apply to me. # ⚓ Brr ☛ Pressure_Altitude⠀⇛ Earth’s atmosphere bulges at the equator, and it is compressed at the poles, due to forces caused by the rotation of the earth on its axis. Since the atmosphere is compressed at the poles, the air pressure drops faster as you go up, compared to a similar change in elevation at middle latitudes. So – even though we are physically at 9,301 feet above sea level, it almost always feels like we’re higher! Because the atmosphere is compressed, 9,301 feet above sea level at the poles yields a lower air pressure (and higher associated physiological impact) than an equivalent elevation at a middle latitude. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Vox ☛ A_reading_guide_for_grownups_who_don’t_read⠀⇛ “There’s screen fatigue and scroll fatigue, so even people who typically might be inclined to read digitally are finding print again,” says Emily Pullen, manager of reader services at the New York Public Library. “They’re craving something that they can still get entertainment and storytelling from, but they don’t have to be looking at a screen for it.” If you’re coming back to books for the first time in a long time, or even the first time ever, the idea of sitting down with a whole novel might seem more than a little overwhelming. That’s why we’re here. I talked to librarians about the strategies they use to help readers introduce themselves to books, whether it’s for the first time in a long time or the first time, period. Here’s how they go about it. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Indiana_Tests_if_the_Heartland_Can Transform_Into_a_Chip_Hub⠀⇛ That makes Indiana a prime case study for whether the administration’s efforts will pan out. Unlike Arizona and Texas, which have long had chip-making plants, Indiana has little experience with the complicated manufacturing processes underlying the components, beyond electric vehicle battery manufacturing and some defense technology projects that involve semiconductors. # ⚓ ANF News ☛ Taliban_bans_girls_over_10_from_attending school⠀⇛ Local Taliban officials in some provinces of Afghanistan have issued a new set of restrictions against female education, reportedly banning girls over the age of 10 from attending primary school classes. The directive from the Taliban-ruled Ministry of Education has sparked widespread concerns over women’s rights and access to education in the country. According to a report by BBC Persian, officials from the Taliban-ruled Ministry of Education held meetings with school principals and short-term training classes in Ghazni province. During these meetings, they explicitly conveyed that “any girl over 10 years of age is not allowed to study in primary schools.” o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Got_Fireflies?_Try_Talking_To_Them_With_A_Green LED⠀⇛ [ChrisMentrek] shares a design for a simple green LED signal light intended for experiments in “talking” to fireflies. The device uses simple components like PVC piping and connectors to make something that resembles a signal flashlight with a momentary switch — a device simple enough to make in time for a little weekend experimenting. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Noisy_Keyboards_Sink_Ships⠀⇛ Many of us like a keyboard with a positive click noise when we type. You might want to rethink that, though, in light of a new paper from the UK that shows how researchers trained an AI to decode keystrokes from noise on conference calls. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Hackaday_Prize_2023:_LoShark,_The_Radio_Debugger For_LoRa⠀⇛ LoRa, the Long Range wireless protocol is pretty great for trickling data across long distances. There are some great embedded devices based around STM32, NRF52, and ESP32 microcontrollers. What’s been missing for quite a while is a device that allows for full access to a LoRa radio from a more capable CPU. The wait may be over, as there’s now the LoShark. It’s a USB key form factor, with a MIPS processor running a real Linux kernel. Cool! o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ NBC ☛ Don’t_rub_castor_oil_in_your_eyes,_doctors_say,_no matter_what_they_do_on_social_media⠀⇛ Castor oil’s moisturizing properties make it a common ingredient in over-the-counter eye drops. However, those products are specifically formulated and tested to treat eye dryness, doctors say. The bottles of castor oil on store shelves are not intended for use in the eyes and may contain preservatives, dyes, fragrances or other ingredients that can cause irritation or infection. # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ ‘I_Cried_for_Joy’:_Texas_Judge_Blocks_Texas Abortion_Ban_for_Dangerous_Pregnancies⠀⇛ While the Texas Supreme Court instantly blocked the injunction by filing an appeal, it was seen as a victory by reproductive rights advocates. o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ Josh Justice ☛ Growing_Up_Mac⠀⇛ Apple had an office in Atlanta, and still does. We went to the office to watch a Steve Jobs keynote in 1999. That year, he introduced the first laptop with wifi, the iBook, by picking it up off the podium and carrying it around while it was still connected to the internet. It was a pretty dramatic reveal. When I was getting ready for senior year of high school, I decided it was time to buy a laptop with my web dev savings. I had enough saved up that I was able to buy the absolutely the maxed-out PowerBook at the time: a clamshell G3. I even sprung for the $500 CompUSA full 3-year warranty. That paid off 2 and a half years later when it fell off a chair and was damaged; they replaced it with an equivalent 14” iBook. # ⚓ The Hill ☛ Longtime_user_‘super_pissed’_after_Elon’s_‘X’ takes_over_his_@music_handle⠀⇛ “16 years ago, I created @music and have been running it ever since,” Jeremy Vaught said wrote on his personal account. “Just now, Twitter / X just ripped it away. Super pissed.” # ⚓ NBC ☛ Twitter_commandeers_@music_handle_from_user_with_half a_million_followers⠀⇛ Social network Twitter, recently rebranded as X, has commandeered the handle @music from an open- source software developer who told CNBC he created the account in 2007, and had built a community of around half a million followers there. While Elon Musk-led X gave Jeremy Vaught no choice but to surrender the desirable username on its platform, he was offered the option to choose from a list of other handles related to the topic of music. His X-assigned account — @musicfan — is not to his liking but he’s settling for it for now. X ported his followers over to the new account at least, he said. # ⚓ DaemonFC (Ryan Farmer) ☛ Linux_Subreddit_Mostly_Windows Spam_After_I_Got_Booted_for_“Off-Topic_Post”._Bonus: Holocaust_Collaborator_IBM_Joins_Forces_With_McDonalds_to Track_Your_Big_Mac_Attack_With_License_Plate_Scanners.⠀⇛ As legacy use cases for Windows break down, people abandon it. Linux has reaped a lot of new users one way or the other, and the Mac has too. Microsoft’s Windows revenue is “cooling” fast. That’s the new name for “It’s so bad, don’t even ask.”. AMD and Intel are suffering along with them. You only need to type in “PC shipments” or “Intel” or “AMD” “earnings” and look at the carnage playing out. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Apple_looking_for_generative_AI_talent globally:_FT_report⠀⇛ Apple’s job listings has revealed the possible paths for using generative AI in its devices. Cook has also revealed that the tech giant has been working on generative AI and other models for years. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Ransomware_attack_disrupts_healthcare services_in_at_least_three_US_states⠀⇛ The system, Prospect Medical Holdings, which operates 16 hospitals and more than 165 clinics and outpatient centers in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Southern California, announced the cyberattack [sic] Thursday. [...] [Successful] Cyberattacks on hospitals have become more common, said John Riggi, senior cybersecurity adviser to the American Hospital Association. # ⚓ The Hill ☛ House_Republicans_open_investigation_into_email breach_at_federal_agencies⠀⇛ “China appears to be graduating from ‘smash and grab heists’ that used to be ‘noisy’ and ‘rudimentary’ to a level described by security experts as ‘among the most technically sophisticated and stealthy ever discovered.’ The incident even raises the possibility that Chinese [crackers] may be able to access high-level computer networks and remain undetected for months if not years,” they wrote. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Cybersecurity_threats_in_digital_banking sector⠀⇛ A cyber threat known as ransomware attack is one of the highly critical attacks which has significantly increased 300% in the recent times. It encrypts or locks the important data of the organization and prevents owners from accessing it until they pay a high cost or ransom. Since, 90% of banking sectors have faced ransomware in the past year, it positions a severe threat to the banking industry. o § Security⠀➾ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ The Telegraph UK ☛ China_‘will_use_electric_cars_to spy_on_Britain’⠀⇛ Chinese electric cars imported to the UK to help hit net zero targets will enable Beijing to spy on British citizens, ministers have warned. With car companies facing quotas for zero emissions sales from next year ahead of a ban on new petrol and diesel vehicles in 2030, China is predicted to dominate the UK market because of its prowess in providing cheap electric cars. However, sources at the heart of government have raised concerns that technology embedded in the vehicles could be used to harvest huge amounts of information, including location data, audio recordings and video footage, while also being vulnerable to remote interference and even being disabled. # ⚓ NBC ☛ What_it’s_like_to_get_your_iris_scanned_for Worldcoin,_Sam_Altman’s_verification_startup⠀⇛ The iris, which controls the color of an eye, is unique to each person.

The long story short is that Mozilla incompetently designed their client software, then refused to fix the problem for over three months after a security researcher at SUSE reported it to them, at which time it was publicly disclosed. # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ WorldCoin_Attracts_2_Million_Users, Hundreds_Line-up_To_Stare_at_the_Orb⠀⇛ But while free money – even if it’s digital – is always an enticing prospect, questions surrounding the technology have given detractors more than ample reason to urge caution. It’s not everyday you have to give up your biometrics to enter the party – dystopian fiction has been written on much less impactful premises. Of particular concern to detractors is the fact that WorldCoin aims to build up a “real human” database that’s both an identity and a financial network. Identity through iris scans; financial network through the WorldCoin app actually being a [cryptocurrency] wallet compatible with the project’s own WorldCoin token (as well as the big two of Bitcoin and Ethereum). o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ 78_Years_Ago_Today_in_Hiroshima:_What Oppenheimer_Wrought⠀⇛ The official U.S. bombing survey on what happened in Hiroshima 78 years ago today. # ⚓ NBC ☛ Over_1,300_migrants_cross_the_border_into_Arizona daily,_despite_record_heat⠀⇛ Long considered the most dangerous area to cross the U.S.-Mexico border, the Tucson sector is now also its busiest.

Thousands of people flocked to Union Square Park after Cenat’s social media posts went viral Friday, and the flash mob became violent and began attacking police and other people in the area with bottles, rocks, other debris and fireworks. The riot resulted in multiple injuries and 65 arrests, according to the NYPD. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Sam_Altman_Fears_AI’s_Effect_on_Elections⠀⇛ AI-spun misinformation has also already proved itself to be pretty convincing. Though it was quickly debunked as fake news, a likely AI- generated photo of a bombing nearby the Pentagon, for instance, caused a brief but notable dip in the stock market after going viral on Twitter in May. # § War in Ukraine⠀➾ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Donetsk_university_catches_fire_in_overnight attack_—_Meduza⠀⇛ On the night of August 6, the Donetsk National University of Economics and Trade located in the center of Donetsk caught fire as a result of shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, reports the head of the self- proclaimed “Donetsk People’s Republic” Denis Pushilin. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Moscow_mayor_Sergey_Sobyanin_reports_drone shot_down_by_air_defenses_—_Meduza⠀⇛ Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin reported that there was an attempted drone attack on the morning of August 6. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Ukraine_shoots_down_30_missiles_and_27 drones_launched_by_Russia_in_overnight_attack_— Meduza⠀⇛ The Russian military launched a large-scale overnight missile attack on Ukraine.

All times are Paris time (GMT+2). # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Member_Of_German_Ruling_Party_Calls_For Giving_Ukraine_Long-Range_Missiles⠀⇛ A member of German Chancellor Olaf Sholtz’s ruling party has for the first time called for Berlin to supply Ukraine with long-range cruise missiles. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Russian_Tourists_Visiting_Occupied_Crimea Drop_By_Nearly_Half_Following_Bombings⠀⇛ The number of Russians vacationing in Crimea, the Ukrainian Black Sea peninsula occupied by Moscow, has fallen by nearly half in recent weeks following attacks carried out by Kyiv. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Ukrainian_Trident_Replaces_Soviet_Emblem_On Kyiv_War_Memorial⠀⇛ Ukraine has placed its trident coat of arms on a gigantic Soviet-era statue that dominates the Kyiv skyline, replacing the Soviet hammer-and-sickle emblem. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Moscow_Again_Closes_Major_Airport,_As_Ukraine Reports_Massive_Air_Strikes⠀⇛ For the second time in the last week, Moscow’s Vnukovo airport was temporarily closed on August 6 after Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported that a drone strike on the Russian capital had been parried. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Ukraine_War_Expands_Beyond Established_Battlefields⠀⇛ Ukraine has grown bolder, firing drones at Moscow, while Russian forces have turned to regular attacks on the Black Sea, a crucial economic lifeline. # ⚓ Latvia ☛ LTV_looks_at_Russian_‘spy_gadgets’_in Latvia⠀⇛ Russian diplomats have been expelled from many countries around the world but facilities through which Russian secret services may still obtain valuable information remain, Latvian Television reported on August 6. # ⚓ JURIST ☛ Russia_passes_law_restricting_foreign investment_in_Russian_companies⠀⇛ Russia passed a new law on Friday allowing courts to strip foreign owners from hostile countries of stakes in key Russian entities, in a purported attempt to protect strategic companies from foreign influence. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Kremlin_Spokesman_Calls_Presidential_Election ‘Costly_Bureaucracy’_In_Rare_Honest_Assessment⠀⇛ Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov appeared to disparage the state of Russian democracy, a rare honest assessment from a man who has spent years spinning truths about elections and freedom at home. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Russian_Figure-Skating_Star_Obtains_Kazakh Passport_After_Denied_Olympic_Invitation⠀⇛ Russian figure skating star Sofia Samodelnika has obtained a Kazakh passport as Russian athletes face a possible ban from the Olympics. o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Emails_Show_NASA’s_Scramble_to_Distance_Itself From_Doomed_Titan_Sub⠀⇛ Emails released to Insider via a public records request take a look behind the curtain at NASA’s response to reports that it had helped design the Titanic-exploring submersible. As the Wall Street Journal reported in June, now- deceased pilot and CEO Stockton Rush had insisted before the tragedy that NASA and Boeing had helped design it. That account was rebuked after the accident by NASA, which told the WSJ and other outlets that although it had planned prior to the COVID-19 pandemic to work with OceanGate on the design of the vessel’s carbon fiber hull, that role was ultimately downsized to video consulting. “NASA did not conduct testing and manufacturing via its workforce or facilities, which was done elsewhere by OceanGate,” NASA said in a statement to ABC News in June. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ VOA News ☛ China’s_Misuse_of_Wildfire_Emission_Data_Doesn’t Clean_Up_Its_Image_as_the_World’s_Top_Polluter⠀⇛ On July 27, China’s state-run newspaper Global Times criticized Canada’s handling of its wildfires, which the paper said caused “immeasurable” damage to the global environment. Canada is suffering from the worst fire season on record, with some 4,797 fires active as of July 26, 132% of its 10-year average rates. The Global Times said Canadian authorities have failed to prevent and extinguish the wildfires, allowing the issue to become a global environmental emergency. The paper then praised China’s effectiveness in handling forest fires and used related data to paint an image of an ecologically responsible country. # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ The_Climate_Movement_Has_a_Recruiting_and Retention_Problem_–_Here’s_How_We_Fix_It⠀⇛ Bringing more people into the climate struggle starts with transforming movement culture and opening diverse paths to entry. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ Terence Eden ☛ Solar_Battery_Statistics_–_Day_One⠀⇛ We recently upgraded our home solar storage to 4.8kWh. The battery has sensors to detect how much solar power we’re generating, and how much electricity we’re buying from (or selling to) the grid. That means… GRAPHS AND STATISTICS! # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ BBC ☛ Elephant_corridors:_The_busy_trunk_routes_where locals_take_care_to_cross⠀⇛ Then whoosh! About 100m away, dozens of elephants of all sizes burst from cover and dash across the road, into the bush on the other side. For the next few minutes, a whole herd crosses, some flapping their ears and trumpeting. They are warning each other and us to keep away, Mojita explains. # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ A_Community_is_Fighting_to_Stop_Gold Mining_Firms_Polluting_Ecuador’s_Rivers⠀⇛ Defenders of the Azuay water, led by Indigenous leader Yaku Pérez, are fighting against gold mining in the region o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Vox ☛ How_to_get_back_money_you_didn’t_even_know_you_were owed⠀⇛ Each US state, plus Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Kenya, and several provinces in Canada, keeps a record of unclaimed property that people can then collect. Unclaimed properties are assets and money people forgot they had — like uncashed checks (often a final check from an employer), money in old checking or savings accounts, refunds, security deposits, or the contents of a safe deposit box. About one in seven Americans has unclaimed property, according to the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators. # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Wage_Gains_at_UPS_Have_Amazon_Workers Demanding_More⠀⇛ Amazon warehouse worker Paul Blundell has spent the past year talking to his co-workers about how UPS Teamsters were getting organized to strike. So recently, he had big news to share: “A few days before the strike deadline, UPS caved.” # ⚓ Yahoo News ☛ As_Microsoft’s_former_VP_of_HR,_here_are_4 things_I_would_never_do_as_an_employee⠀⇛ He says to never expect loyalty from the company and to never offer loyalty to them, either. # ⚓ TechRadar ☛ Even_Zoom_wants_its_workers_to_come_back_to_the office_now [Ed: How to get your staff to resign instead of announcing layoffs]⠀⇛ If the first half of 2023 was characterized by mass layoffs, then the second half certainly looks to have a particular focus on returning to the office, with video conferencing giant bizarrely Zoom now asking workers to leave their homes once more. The company confirmed that workers living within a 50-mile radius of a Zoom office should now return there for at least two days per week (via Business Insider). The new return-to-office (RTO) mandate is a full 180-degree change on what Zoom had previously said, implying that only a small minority of workers would need to be office-based. # ⚓ Signs_Of_Recovery_in_London’s_Tech_Market_As_Job_Vacancies Increase_by_26%⠀⇛ London’s bruised technology sector is showing its first signs of recovery – where in June new tech job roles within tech firms increased by +10.3% on the previous month, and by +25.7% in May. When looking at technology roles based in non-tech companies, London job volume was only marginally down in the past month (-1.52%) and saw a small uptick of +11.48% in May. # ⚓ Amidst_Mass_Layoffs,_Begin_Your_Freelance_Career_with_These Tips_and_Tricks⠀⇛ Even the most incredible employees have recently been laid off due to mass layoffs in large corporations. Layoffs have been announced by companies ranging from Google to Microsoft and even eBay. Freelancing might be the solution for you. Consequently, many people have lost their employment and a prospective professional path. Many people are preparing to change occupations, while others are just seeking work to help them survive the crisis. If you’re in the same scenario and searching for a way out, freelancing might be the answer. While freelancing was rarely used as a means out of employment in the past, things have changed dramatically. Although it is still true that freelancing is not given enough credit in society, an increasing number of people are jumping on board and giving it a shot. Freelancing is an excellent choice if you want to revitalise your career and your phone rarely rings.

Participants were only able to identify fake speech 73% of the time, which improved only slightly after they received training to recognise aspects of deepfake speech. # ⚓ PLOS ☛ Warning:_Humans_cannot_reliably_detect_speech deepfakes⠀⇛ Speech deepfakes are artificial voices generated by machine learning models. Previous literature has highlighted deepfakes as one of the biggest security threats arising from progress in artificial intelligence due to their potential for misuse. However, studies investigating human detection capabilities are limited. We presented genuine and deepfake audio to n = 529 individuals and asked them to identify the deepfakes. We ran our experiments in English and Mandarin to understand if language affects detection performance and decision-making rationale. We found that detection capability is unreliable. Listeners only correctly spotted the deepfakes 73% of the time, and there was no difference in detectability between the two languages. Increasing listener awareness by providing examples of speech deepfakes only improves results slightly. As speech synthesis algorithms improve and become more realistic, we can expect the detection task to become harder. The difficulty of detecting speech deepfakes confirms their potential for misuse and signals that defenses against this threat are needed. # ⚓ CBS ☛ The_NIH_halts_a_research_project._Is_it_self- censorship?⠀⇛ Many Americans don’t understand a lot about their health. Whether due to people believing conspiracy theories or simply walking out of their doctor’s offices without a good idea of what was said, communicating what scientists know has been a long-standing challenge. The problem has gotten particularly acute with a recent wave of misinformation. And when Francis Collins led the National Institutes of Health, the world’s premier medical research agency, he thought he had a solution: to study health communications broadly. “We basically have seen the accurate medical information overtaken, all too often, by the inaccurate conspiracies and false information on social media. It’s a whole other world out there,” he said in 2021 as part of a farewell media tour. # ⚓ [Old] uni Northwestern ☛ As_‘pink_slime’_aims_to_fill local_news_vacuum,_is_anyone_reading?⠀⇛ It sounds like an alarming equation: While local news outlets shutter and news deserts expand nationwide, so-called “pink slime” sites are filling the void with political propaganda disguised as legitimate news. For anyone who believes democracy is built on a foundation of truth, this is a disturbing trend. But most of the attention on pink-slime journalism has focused on its production, such as the “1,300 community news sites” that Metric Media, Chicago businessman Brian Timpone’s company that pushes Republican candidates and far-right talking points, touts operating across the country. A new Stanford University study looks for the first time at the other side of this equation: consumer usage of these sites. Its key finding: Pink-slime outlets have not altered the journalism world or our democracy —at least not yet. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Vox ☛ How_Manipur_violence_is_challenging_India’s politics⠀⇛ Interethnic, sectarian, and insurgent violence is not new to India, and Modi’s Hindu nationalist ideology has contributed to the atmosphere of discord, if not outright fueled violence in some cases. The BJP governs Manipur state, and rather than attempting mediation between the largely Hindu Meiteis and Christian Kukis, the state government imposed an [Internet] blackout that was only partially lifted last month. # ⚓ Scripps Media Inc ☛ Two_books_are_back_in_District_20’s school_libraries,_after_being_removed_in_April⠀⇛ Cortez said the principals and superintendent can not actually decide whether or not books are taken or put on the shelves. Instead, liberty material must go through an official book challenge. The District said they failed to do an official book challenge, but removed the books. Cortez said once the new superintendent began their duties on July 1st, they looked over the book incident again and identified they did not follow procedures. # ⚓ Hopkinton Independent ☛ Independent_Thoughts:_Library_takes stand_against_censorship⠀⇛ “Intellectual freedom is a right for all, and libraries are tasked with providing reliable information, quality service and diverse resources in order to enable that right,” the statement reads. “We respect the right of patrons to decide which materials are appropriate to their individual circumstances, however, no individual or group has the right to restrict access for others. The Board of Trustees endorses and follows the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights, which states that a library serves all members of the community, offers diverse materials and condemns censorship.” # ⚓ Off Guardian ☛ Technocensorship:_The_Government’s_War_on So-Called_Dangerous_Ideas⠀⇛ What we are witnessing is the modern-day equivalent of book burning which involves doing away with dangerous ideas—legitimate or not—and the people who espouse them.Seventy years after Ray Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451 depicted a fictional world in which books are burned in order to suppress dissenting ideas, while televised entertainment is used to anesthetize the populace and render them easily pacified, distracted and controlled, we find ourselves navigating an eerily similar reality. Welcome to the age of technocensorship. On paper—under the First Amendment, at least—we are technically free to speak. In reality, however, we are now only as free to speak as a government official—or corporate entities such as Facebook, Google or YouTube—may allow. # ⚓ Netblocks ☛ Telegram_restricted_in_Iraq_over_personal_data leaks⠀⇛ Real-time NetBlocks metrics show that Telegram frontends and backends have been restricted on leading providers Zain and Earthlink, while service remains available on Kurdish operators Kurdistan Net and Korek Telecom. This class of disruption can be worked around using VPN services which can circumvent government internet censorship measures. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Iraq_suspends_Telegram_over_‘national security’⠀⇛ The service was effectively blocked by midday on Sunday, with new messages not loading for users in Baghdad. The application was still accessible to users connected using a VPN. # ⚓ JURIST ☛ Iraq_government_blocks_messaging_app_Telegram_over alleged_national_security_fears⠀⇛ This ban follows a recent trend in the region of restricting freedom of speech in online spaces. In March, many international organizations released a Joint Statement on the topic of free speech in Iraq, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. In it, they argued: [...] # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Meduza’s_podcast_‘What_Happened’_back_on_Apple Podcasts_two_days_after_it_was_removed_—_Meduza⠀⇛ The daily Russian-language news show “What Happened” is again available on the Apple Podcasts streaming platform. Apple did not provide a reason for suddenly removing and restoring the podcast. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ uni Northwestern ☛ Are_news_outlets_using_the_wrong_metrics to_assess_sites’_success?⠀⇛ News organizations seeking to measure their websites’ success typically have focused on two metrics: page views and time spent on the site. But data collected and analyzed from the Medill Subscriber Engagement Index indicates that such an approach is misguided. # ⚓ [Old] uni Northwestern ☛ Journalists_Give_Thumbs_Down_to Social_Media⠀⇛ Journalists say social-media platforms have hurt their industry, contributing to inaccurate and one- sided news accounts by exerting too much control over the mix of news that people see, according to a recent survey. More than nine of every 10 survey respondents said social-media companies deliver a “worse mix of news” to their users, according to the online survey of journalists by Northwestern University’s Medill school of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications. The survey also found that nearly eight of 10 said harassment of journalists on social media is a “very big” or “moderately big” problem. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ BBC_Northern_Ireland_pays_£464k_legal_bill_in_employee disputes⠀⇛ The BBC has paid a legal bill of more than £450,000 in high-profile disputes with two former employees. The corporation disclosed the figures following a freedom of information request from the Belfast Telegraph. Both cases, involving Donna Traynor and Lena Ferguson, were settled without any admission of liability. BBC NI said that the legal expenditure was “only incurred to the extent that is necessary and after careful consideration”. # ⚓ The_wave_of_layoffs_in_2023_and_the_Vietnamese_market⠀⇛ During the COVID-19 epidemic, large technology companies have benefited “hugely” from the boom in online spending and remote working. But in 2023, many of these businesses report disappointing growth rates. Leaders of technology companies say that they are expanding too quickly and are looking for ways to cut costs in the context of a risky economic situation. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Eight_Months_Pregnant_and_Arrested_After False_Facial_Recognition_Match⠀⇛ The ordeal started with an automated facial recognition search, according to an investigator’s report from the Detroit Police Department. Ms. Woodruff is the sixth person to report being falsely accused of a crime as a result of facial recognition technology used by police to match an unknown offender’s face to a photo in a database. All six people have been Black; Ms. Woodruff is the first woman to report it happening to her. It is the third case involving the Detroit Police Department, which runs, on average, 125 facial recognition searches a year, almost entirely on Black men, according to weekly reports about the technology’s use provided by the police to Detroit’s Board of Police Commissioners, a civilian oversight group. Critics of the technology say the cases expose its weaknesses and the dangers posed to innocent people. # ⚓ NYPost ☛ Detroit_woman_sues_city_over_false_carjacking arrest_while_8_months_pregnant_due_to_bogus_facial recognition⠀⇛ “I was scared, that was the main thing,” Woodruff told The Post Sunday evening after realizing cops weren’t joking. “What is going on?” “There was no sympathy, there was like ‘OK let’s pause,’” she added. Woodruff later learned she was being “implicated as a suspect” from a photo lineup shown to the victim following an “unreliable facial recognition match,” according to the court documents. # ⚓ NBC ☛ Detroit_woman_sues_city_after_being_falsely_arrested while_8_months_pregnant_due_to_facial_recognition technology⠀⇛ The victim was also shown a lineup of potential suspects and identified Woodruff as the woman he was with when he was robbed. Oliver used an eight- year-old picture of Woodruff in the lineup from an arrest in 2015, despite having access to her current driver’s license, according to the lawsuit. On the day Woodruff was arrested, she and her fiancé urged officers to check the warrant to confirm whether the woman who committed the crime was pregnant, which they refused to do, the lawsuit alleges. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Iran_forces_women_defying_hijab_laws_into psychiatric_treatment⠀⇛ The surge in sentences forcing women to undergo psychological treatment has alarmed the Iranian psychiatric sector. In an open letter sent to the head of the country’s judiciary, Gholam-Hossein Mohseni Ejei, on July 23, the presidents of four mental health organisations accused authorities of “exploiting psychiatry” for other purposes. [...] Their concerns are all the more serious given that even young children are not being spared. At the peak of the anti-government protests that broke out in Iran following Mahsa Amini’s death, Education Minister Youssef Nouri admitted that schoolchildren were being detained in the streets or at school and held in “medical psychological centres” where they were “re-educated” to prevent “anti-social” behaviour. # ⚓ CBC ☛ Woman_with_pacemaker_showed_her_scar,_was_patted_down by_man_to_get_through_airport_security⠀⇛ But, Howell said, the security screeners told her the only woman security officer in the building was not trained for a manual search. Her only option was to be patted down by a male guard or miss her flight. According to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada website, a physical search at airport security “may also be needed if an individual has a medical condition (e.g., pacemaker) that makes using a scanner dangerous.” # ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ Amazon_Worker:_“If_UPS_Wages_Go_Up, Amazon_Should_Do_the_Same”⠀⇛ JFK8, where workers won a union authorization election last year, offers the most competitive Amazon wages in the region. Presumably union density in the borough pushes up wages; the average wage on Staten Island is $41 per hour and the median household income is $85,381, according to the US Census Bureau. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Google_illegally_cut_contract_staffers_who worked_on_AI,_union_alleges⠀⇛ Alphabet Inc. illegally ended contract employment for a majority of Google Help workers as they were trying to unionize, organizers alleged in a complaint to the US labor board. The Alphabet Workers Union accused the [Internet] giant of violating federal labor law, which prohibits retaliation against employees for organizing. o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ # ⚓ It’s FOSS ☛ Google’s_New_Web_Environment_Integrity_Proposal Dismissed_by_Brave,_Mozilla,_and_Vivaldi⠀⇛ A potentially precarious situation might be brewing regarding the integrity of the open web as we know it. Recently, a very controversial API was discovered that has been in the works by a team of Google engineers for over a year. Called the “Web Environment Integrity” (WEI), this is a potential gatekeeping move that has many concerned, including the three critical competitors to Google’s Chrome web browser. This situation has unfolded over the past two weeks, resulting in widespread criticism over the implementation of such a protocol. Allow me to take you through it. o § Monopolies⠀➾ # ⚓ Ali Reza Hayati ☛ Not_a_browser_war_but_a_Web_war⠀⇛ Any Chromium-based browser should be avoided. Doesn’t matter how the company behind your browser is removing Google’s DRM or how they advertise themselves to you, they should be avoided. I saw companies like Brave and Vivaldi protesting Google’s new war on Web but I think that’s ridiculous. They are some of the companies that are helping Google dominate in the Web browser war. Using Chromium, which only results in Google winning the Web war, is a betrayal to the Internet and Web community and to all of us. There’s no excuse, there’s not “but”, there’s no good reason, it’s all false and hopeless justification of helping Google take away our precious Web. # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Journalists⠀⇛ US District Judge Amit Mehta ruled on Friday that a central part of the case should be heard, though he did allow some claims to be removed, the Financial Times reported. The case, filed in October 2020 by the Federal Government and joined by 38 states, said it was stopping Google “from unlawfully maintaining monopolies through anti-competitive and exclusionary practices in the search and search advertising markets and to remedy the competitive harms”. The US Department of Justice said at the time Google, as a company that did not lack money given its market value of US$1 trillion (A$1.4 trillion), was the monopoly gatekeeper to the Internet for billions. # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Creative Commons ☛ “We_Are_the_Commons”:_Art_for_the 2023_CC_Global_Summit⠀⇛ The CC team and community volunteers have been working hard on preparations for the 2023 Global Summit, and we are thrilled to announce the official artwork for this event! “Somos El Bien Común” is a representation of Mexico’s vibrant culture and rich history. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Positive_Cues_Make_Online_Piracy Confessions_More_Honest,_Research_Finds⠀⇛ The vast majority of piracy-related consumer research is conducted through surveys. Over time, these findings can spot useful trends. However, new experimental research suggests that the piracy habits reported by respondents can vary depending on how surveys are primed. # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Music_Monday:_End_of_the_Line⠀⇛ It’s Music Monday time. Each and every Monday without fail, except when I fail, I share a song that has contributed audible joy to my life.

In recent times we’ve certainly seen improvements in quality, but we’ve also had our fair share of weirdness when it comes to how they’re integrated into laptop design. Remember when Dell first shrunk the bezels on the XPS 13 and the low-down camera? How about Huawei’s pop up “nose cam” in the keyboard? Novel, but ultimately flawed. Recently I came upon the Star Labs StarFighter. Regulars to Windows Central perhaps won’t be familiar with the name, since Star Labs is mostly known for dedicated Linux laptops. Linux doesn’t really matter here, but the webcam on the StarFighter is really interesting and something I hope catches on with Windows laptop makers. o § Kernel Space⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Kernel_prepatch_6.5-rc5⠀⇛ Linus has released 6.5-rc5 for testing. “”Things continue to look pretty normal. Not a huge number of commits, and most of the ones here are tiny””. # ⚓ LWN ☛ Linux_6.5-rc5⠀⇛ Things continue to look pretty normal. Not a huge number of commits, and most of the ones here are tiny. The biggest patches tend to be soem of the continuing data-race annotations in networking, and a couple of network drivers with slightly bigger patches, but nothing that looks all that scary. And a lot of the patches here are trivial one- and few- liners. The biggest hiccup last week was that I had correctable ECC memory errors in my machine and had to replace my DIMMs once again. But at least this time I got nice warnings about how my memory was going bad, so it was only a fleeting annoyance. So go test. We still have a few regressions that are being chased, but it's only rc5 and things look like they are under control. Linus # ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ Happy_Birthday,_Linux!⠀⇛ Torvalds did point out a few years ago on his Google+ stream that most people associate the “birth” of Linux with his initial announcement on August 25, 1991. However, he goes on to point out that the actual code dump for Linux 0.01 didn’t actually occur until a couple of weeks later. From there, of course, we know how Linux has spread, from the first distributions being written in 1992 (Slackware), to Mandriva in 1998, to our own Texstar branching out and establishing PCLinuxOS in 2003, to today, where there are over 60 million Linux users, by some estimates. o § Benchmarks⠀➾ # ⚓ WCCF Tech ☛ Intel_Drivers_Delivers_Up_To_15%_Performance Boost_To_Arc_GPUs_In_Linux⠀⇛ The new set of i915 Linux kernel graphics driver patches released back in April revealed Intel’s change in RPS thresholds. Before this, RPS values were set at a default trend but now the updated drivers bring in the option for consumers to dynamically change the values. This new change was initially revealed by Google’s engineer Syed Faaiz Hussain & it was disclosed the RPS tuning brought in noticeable performance improvements. [...] Apart from RPS tuning changes, the new patch in Linux 6.6 brings “a fix to avoid infinite GPU waits and various Meteor Lake updates.” The changes made in the driver for the upcoming Meteor Lake also indicate that Team Blue is working on complete support at launch, by starting work much earlier. With that said, Intel’s Arc driver division is working really hard to extract every bit of juice out of the Alchemist architecture. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Links ☛ 8_Top_Free_and_Open_Source_Graphical_User Interfaces_for_R⠀⇛ R is an open source programming language and software environment for statistical computing and graphics. It consists of a language together with a run-time environment with a debugger, graphics, access to system functions, and scripting. To provide an insight into the quality of software available for Linux, we have compiled a list of 8 top graphical user interfaces for R. Hopefully, there will be something of interest for anyone who wants to quickly get to grips with this programming language and environment. We give a strong recommendation to RStudio. Here’s our verdict for each application. Only free and open source software is eligible for inclusion. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ Inkscape_Tutorial:_Vector_Image Trace⠀⇛ I’m always on the lookout for new tricks to use in any of the graphics programs I use. I saw this one on YouTube in a video by Logos By Nick. While you may have already learned this little maneuver, it was a bit new to me. It takes a bit of practice, at least for me. This method works well on a photo you want to trace. Maybe you are creating an advertisement and you have a photo of what you want, but you need clipart instead. You can always do a trace of the photo to use. We’ll be using the Bezier tool. Open your photo in Inkscape. In the video I saw, he recommends that you turn off your page border. Make sure you bring in a bigger copy of your photo if possible (because images can be scaled smaller without quality loss, but not bigger). After you have it imported, add a layer to your project. You’ll do your work on the new layer. In celebration of Linux’s birthday this month, I’ll use a photo of a penguin. # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ What_is_Graceful_Restart_in_Apache⠀⇛ Apache HTTP Server, commonly referred to as Apache, is a highly popular, open-source web server software that plays a significant role in the delivery of web content. Being flexible, Apache allows several key functionalities and configurations to help optimize its performance. # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ How_to_Safely_Restart_Apache_on_Production Server⠀⇛ To safely restart Apache on a production server, it’s recommended to use the apachectl or httpd tool (depending on your system), which offers a graceful restart command. This ensures that any current operations are completed before the service restarts. Verify Configuration Files Before restarting, ensure that your Apache configuration files are free from syntax errors. # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ What_is_Apache_Reload?⠀⇛ If you’re managing a web server, you’re likely to come across a situation where you need to apply some changes to your server configuration. Apache, a widely used web server software, provides a few ways to implement changes without interrupting the service. One of these ways is the “reload” function. # ⚓ The New Stack ☛ Create_a_Development_Environment_in_Docker Desktop⠀⇛ The Docker Desktop has a number of cool features aimed at making container development more efficient and easier. # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ 5_Ways_to_Remove_Installed_Packages_on Ubuntu⠀⇛ Linux packages let you add new software or functionality to your system. After installing a package, there’d be a time when you might not want it anymore or would like to remove some dependencies or bloat from your Ubuntu system. Whatever the case, if you are looking for a way to get rid of an application, remove some extra packages, or clean up your machine, you can use one of these methods to do your bidding. Here are a few easy ways to remove packages on Ubuntu: # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ How_to_Use_atop_to_View_Active_Processes_on Linux⠀⇛ If you use Linux, you likely use programs like top or htop to monitor your processes. A lot of these processes may not be relevant to you. What if there was a tool that only showed active processes? There is, and it’s called atop. Here’s how you can use atop to view currently active processes on Linux. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ FOSSLinux ☛ 10_Best_Free_Racing_Games_for_Ubuntu_Linux⠀⇛ In the world of Ubuntu Linux, the terminal is not just a place for commands and system operations, it also hosts a variety of interesting and exciting games, including racing games. These games might not have dazzling graphics or realistic physics, but they offer pure, undiluted fun. There is an impressive assortment of games hidden in the Ubuntu Linux terminal that can provide hours of entertainment. In this post, I am going to share with you my top 10 free racing games that you can play on your Ubuntu Linux terminal. I will also include some hands-on examples and pro tips to enhance your gaming experience. So, let’s get the adrenaline pumping! # ⚓ Weekly_News_Roundup:_Windows_11_Features_Leak,_Microsoft Surface_Go_4_Delayed,_Lenovo_Legion_Go_in_the_Works,_Linux Surpasses_macOS_on_Steam⠀⇛ Linux has now surpassed macOS in popularity on the Steam platform, thanks to the rise in popularity of Valve’s Steam Deck, which runs on Linux. SteamOS now makes up 42% of the Linux market share among Steam users. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Reviews⠀➾ # ⚓ Distro Watch ☛ Review:_Peppermint_OS_2023-07-01⠀⇛ Peppermint OS has a long and storied history; it was one of the first low-resource distros that was innovative, looked good, and just worked, and many of us who prefer that style have fond memories of seeing its peppermint candy logo pop up on the screen. But, as so often happens with small distros, something derailed the project. In this case, Peppermint leader Mark Greaves died, and the distro went nearly three years between releases. It returned in 2022, with a couple of significant changes – based on Debian and not the Ubuntu family it used before; the Calamares installer; and an Xfce desktop instead of the previous Xfce-LXDE hybrid. The current release, Peppermint OS 2023-07- 01, is the second under the new regime. As such, it wants to continue Greaves’ minimalist approach: “Everything you need and nothing you don’t.” Unfortunately, though the new release tries to do just that, it still has a long way to go after a week or so of testing. This is a buggy, flawed effort, good intentions notwithstanding. Yes, it’s still focused on low-resource systems, but it’s more like an advanced proof of concept for the new approach than something to use as a daily driver. For instance, why highlight the Snap store if snapd isn’t installed by default? This is not a criticism of the approach. I much prefer minimalist distros; I don’t even like using Qt-based music players. But low-resource isn’t an excuse for bad execution, and that’s the case here. It offers a variety of features that I’d love to see other distros adopt. But if the features are flawed, what’s the point? o § PCLinuxOS/Mageia/Mandriva/OpenMandriva Family⠀➾ # ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ How_To_Run_VBA/Excel_Macros_On PCLinuxOS⠀⇛ Guys, isn’t it very annoying when others send Excel spreadsheets with macros in VBA (Visual Basic For Applications)? Yes, everyone thinks that we use pirated copies of MS Office and, therefore, we will be able to work with these spreadsheets. All wrong, since we made the choice to be within the law and, by choice, not to use Microsoft products. Unfortunately, due to the predominance of Microsoft products, we have to “talk”, so to speak, with these programs, but never depend on them. And, we are left with this problem in our hands: How to work with these Excel spreadsheets with these VBA macros? We’ll see right after. # ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ Screenshot_Showcase⠀⇛ # ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ From_The_Chief_Editor’s_Desk…⠀⇛ PCLinuxOS doesn’t have the name recognition of the *buntus, Fedoras, and Arch Linux distros. PCLinuxOS doesn’t have any rich corporations or benefactors to fund its existence. PCLinuxOS doesn’t get the respect that many of the “big players” among Linux distros enjoy. As a PCLinuxOS user, I am grateful for all of those. Way back, about 10 years or so ago, PCLinuxOS was riding high as the #1 distro on Distrowatch. Being “on top” made PCLinuxOS a target. Everyone wants to “dethrone” whomever occupies that coveted “top spot.” We had all kinds of riff raff coming in from the outside, just to cause problems or be demeaning. I’m quite happy to be using a Linux distro that offers so much to its users, yet avoids that circus atmosphere that comes from being “on top.” PCLinuxOS can’t be beat when it comes to hardware recognition. PCLinuxOS can’t be beat when it comes to stability. PCLinuxOS can’t be beat when it comes to talking about the community of PCLinuxOS users. Let all the others deal with that BS. Not being in the “top spot” allows Texstar, his merry band of packagers, and its users to just calmly go about their business, without any of that hype and showboating. No circus around here, thank you very much! # ⚓ PCLinuxOS Magazine ☛ ICYMI:_Is_There_A_BioTech_Lab_In_YOUR Backyard?⠀⇛ Toyota is telling the world it has made a technological breakthrough that will allow it to cut the weight, size, and cost of batteries in half, according to an article on CleanTechnica. The new solid-state battery is reported to have a range of 745 miles (1,200 Km), half the size and weight of current LiON batteries, and be fully charged in 10 minutes. Forgive us if we don’t hold our collective breath. Other new battery technology hasn’t lived up to the hype, for multiple reasons. Google updated its privacy policy, explicitly saying the company reserves the right to scrape just about everything you post online to build its AI tools, according to an article on Gizmodo. If Google can read your words, assume they belong to the company now, and expect that they’re nesting somewhere in the bowels of a chatbot. “Google uses information to improve our services and to develop new products, features and technologies that benefit our users and the public,” the new Google policy says. “For example, we use publicly available information to help train Google’s AI models and build products and features like Google Translate, Bard, and Cloud AI capabilities.” It sounds like Google’s new motto should be “Be All The Evil,” which is about as far as you can get from “Do No Evil.” Never mind that the words “Google” and “privacy” should NEVER appear in the same sentence. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Slashdot ☛ Jon_‘maddog’_Hall_Defends_Red_Hat’s_Re-Licensing of_RHEL⠀⇛ In February of 1994 Jon “maddog” Hall interviewed a young Linus Torvalds (then just 24).

In a nutshell, their appearance looks more modern, with a round shape compared to the rectangular design of the previous models. Importantly, they are sturdier than before, and the battery capacity has increased almost 2x. As we anticipated, they can be used with other Zigbee Hubs from different brands as well. The main application used with both devices is still, of course, eWeLink, which many people are familiar with (a Zigbee Bridge Hub/Bridge is required). o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ SparkFun Electronics ☛ 2023-08-04_[Older]_GNSS_Combo Breakout_&_SIK_v4.1.2⠀⇛ # ⚓ SparkFun Electronics ☛ 2023-08-02_[Older]_TinkerMill’s Electronic_Access_System⠀⇛ o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ SlashGear ☛ 5_Entertainment_Apps_Every_Android_User_Should Have_Installed⠀⇛ # ⚓ Phone Arena ☛ The_latest_version_of_Pixel’s_At_a_Glance widget_is_coming_soon_to_non-Pixel_Android_phones_(VIDEO)_– PhoneArena⠀⇛ # ⚓ Mirror UK ☛ Android_users_warned_to_delete_app_right_now_as it_steals_your_private_messages_–_World_News_–_Mirror Online⠀⇛ # ⚓ Giz China ☛ MIUI_15_Unleashed:_Experience_Xiaomi’s_New Android_Skin⠀⇛ # ⚓ Indian Express ☛ Try_these_tips_to_improve_gaming performance_on_your_Android_smartphone_|_Technology_News_– The_Indian_Express⠀⇛ # ⚓ GSM Arena ☛ Flashback:_Sony’s_first_Android_tablets_had crazy_shapes_and_PlayStation_games_–_GSMArena.com_news⠀⇛ # ⚓ 7NEWS ☛ Delete_immediately:_Urgent_warning_over_32 password-stealing_Android_apps_|_7NEWS⠀⇛ # ⚓ SlashGear ☛ How_To_Organize_And_Sort_Apps_In_Android_Auto⠀⇛ # ⚓ The_Illusion_of_Privacy:_Why_using_Linux_and_a_Degoogled Phone_may_not_completely_safeguard_your_data⠀⇛ I’ve written many articles on Linux and Degoogled Phones, most of them in a positive light. I’ve mentioned many times within some of those articles that nothing is bulletproof, 100% secure, and nothing is unhackable. While using Linux and a Degoogled Phone may increase your security profile, there are problems going this route as well. One of the traps new users can fall into is the illusion of privacy. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o ⚓ Steinar H Gunderson ☛ Steinar_H._Gunderson:_RIP_Bram_Moolenaar⠀⇛ It was with surprise that I learned that Bram Moolenaar, author of the Vim_editor, had died_two_days_ago. I cannot say we were ever friends, but I sat next to Bram for a year or so in the Google Zurich office and learned to recognize his ways and his work in Google (he worked on, among others, autocorrecting searches in Google Apps).

I have some doubt and I wonder whether thinking about these imagined problems leads me to running a better game, that’s all. # ⚓ Back⠀⇛ My life is so different from how it was a year ago, yet it was so easy for me to forget all the good things that happened, all the progress I made. I am thankful of what I have now and will work to remind myself of it more often. # ⚓ Here_we_go_’round_the_I-berry_bush⠀⇛ # ⚓ A_quiet,_subdued_light_morning⠀⇛ A couple glasses of tequila over ice, an amazing dinner, a glass of wine, a show called “Innocent” whose episode currently playing I *swear* I’ve seen before. But my wife – whose memory is far better than mine – insists we haven’t. # ⚓ 30_July_2023⠀⇛ Today was a good day. The weather was nice so i put junior in the stroller and we took a really long walk through the fields and little meadows that scatter the countryside where i live. I also took the opportunity to grab my film camera again (after what-do-i-know years) and started to take a few pictures. # ⚓ Dialling_Back_Duolingo⠀⇛ I got my achievement – 1st in Diamond League. The rest can be done on my own time. This morning was my first morning in a while where it was entirely for fun, entirely at my own pace. Much better. I did fifteen minutes of practice. I finished the book I was reading (Natalie Simpson, “Thrum”). Made a very minor change to my forever project, and planned some work for this week. Had breakfast and a cup of coffee. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ “New”_Thinkpad_T60_and_Hyperbola_Linux⠀⇛ I adopted an Thinkpad T60… really, i didn’t plan on getting another machine! But there was this coworker who cleared his basement and found this T60 in absolutely pristine condition which only needed some cleaning and the removement of shoddily applied german keyboard stickers. And as my Thinkpad R60 is currently my playground for ReactOS and i needed a mobile system for work and thinking how shamefull it would be letting such a system go to the electronic wast heap… eh.. whatever, i got another system. So, the first question was which operating system will go on this machine, as ia am always on the lookout for ways to make my life a bit more complicated i opted for a distribution based on the linux-libre kernel. After failing to install Guix i went for Hyperbola and… really started to like it. Hyperbola is a descendant from Arch and is built by a group of brazilian free software fanatics (and i use this word in the most positive way possible), who want to build a system in the lightweight Arch way but with Debian style long term support stability. They are also planing on switching the kernel from Linux to an OpenBSD fork. So… its an interesting system. That they offer a combined 32/ 64 Bit installation image also contributed to my decission to try it out. Oh, and its SystemD free, didn’t i mention this? # ⚓ Feedback_on_Guppy_and_UDP⠀⇛ What makes Guppy most interesting is it uses UDP instead of TCP. I think it’s awesome that people are playing with protocols, and even more so, publishing their thoughts for the community. It’s easy to poop on someone’s work and I don’t want to do that. I have a follow up gemlog to post with suggestions I would make to the Guppy spec without changing UDP principles. However in this post I want discuss the challenges I would have as a developer implementing Guppy due to its use of UDP, and those limitations. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Return_to_the_PDA_(Palm_OS,_Gemini,_Offline)⠀⇛ I’ve always had a strong connection to Palm OS devices. I’ve been carrying around PDA’s long before the ‘smartphone’ came along. [...] I’m on a quest to be more productive, spend more time doing what’s essential like quality family time, I’ve had enough with all the push notifications and constant distractions that’s indicative of the current state of the web. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

There were a number of speeches as well, but only a small portion of the ceremony was televised. Recently there have been stories in the news about the bombing, and in the comments the debate still rages on over whether it was necessary or not. o § Religion⠀➾ # ⚓ Transfiguration_of_the_Lord⠀⇛ The lightnings enlightened the world: the earth shook and trembled. (Psalm) How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O Lord of Hosts! my soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. Glory be to the Father. Thy lightnings… # ⚓ Isaiah_1:1-3:_Israel’s_Rebellion_Against_ʏʜᴡʜ⠀⇛ o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ RPoD_swap_out_complete⠀⇛ My site (1436.ninja) is now hosted on a refurbished Lenovo ThinkCentre, core i7, 10gb RAM, WD red 500gb conventional hard drive (for now). The website is down (the RPoD Gopher Proxy) due to config issues I don’t have time for right now. I switched over to gophernicus as the gopherd. I need to make some script changes to get some things like the guestbook and Port70News back up. This will get done, but around my work schedule. # ⚓ RPoD_Changes_Coming⠀⇛ RPoD has intermittently been going down, and always when I am out of town. I have it plugged into an oversized UPS which is plugged into a dedicated power circuit in my home. The ‘fix’ has been to have my wife power cycle the machine. This occurs once I realize it’s down, and when I am working, this can be days. # ⚓ hiccup⠀⇛ This chicken’s head is other than atop its formerly connecting neck! Lots of enlightening (emphasis on the ‘lighten-ing’ part) email interaction with quite the Geminaut. House/yard work up the gazoo (anyone else here remember “The Great Gazoo”?). Assembled a package of images and text for a private investigator regarding some rather clear cut fraud and other associated illegality of my first wife amounting to my having been “seriously taken” several decades ago. There’s likely no monetary recovery, but I’m ashamed to admit revenge of some *not illegal* kind is definitely on the table. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ First_Thoughts_On_“The_Guppy_Protocol Specification”⠀⇛ Someone’s proposed a new protocol, which is sort of a version of the Spartan protocol over UDP, with in-band support for splitting messages over packets. I love thinking about network protocol design, so proposals like this one always make my ears perk up! My understanding, having implemented server software for both Gemini and Spartan, is that Spartan is mostly successful at being 90% faster than Gemini by altering about 10% of the spec. These alterations include the entire removal of TLS, and reducing the amount of data included in requests and responses. It also includes adding a new text/gemini line type, which is unfortunate because it introduces strict incompatibility with exitisting Gemini software, though robust fallbacks are possible to implement server- side. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

My take is this: As a player, I do like the feeling of having achieved a difficult thing. Ideally, if the game has advancement, then advancement should be something that’s difficult, unlike sitting at the table, which is just the bare minimum. So if you want to avoid the mini-game of *read-the-referee’s- mind* then you need to setup up achievements ahead of time. o § Politics and World Events⠀➾ # ⚓ Oxymoronistic_tinylog⠀⇛ There is a myth that propaganda is not used or needed in a democratic society. Well, if you still live in one of those, look around in the media. As Jacques Ellul explains (1962, still valid), there is a need for propaganda both by the state and the individual. The participation of the masses in politics makes propaganda necessary; because the government cannot follow the opinion, the opinion will have to follow the government. And thus the need to sway opinions. Ellul’s radical claim is that if propaganda succeeds, it happens because there is a need for it in the individual subjected to it. Indeed, there is a psychological need for belonging, that is, to agree with your fellow citizens on basic issues. Another reason is the need for simplification and clarity. Pure information, or something approaching it, might be found by reading the press releases of a few complementary news agencies. Or imagine wading through the enormous information dumps Wikileaks used to deliver as your source of news. It is too much to make sense of, too much to take in for a normal person. Following a single story also would require exceptional memory, as news about it drops once in a while interspersed with much else. Thus there is a real need for editorialised news digests, but those cannot be as neutral as the sources. More important, though, is the individual’s need for certitudes and confirmation of world views. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Working_with_Elpher⠀⇛ I like Emacs quite a lot. There’s something about the “everything app” (the real one, Elon) that can be quite liberating. However, Emacs has quite a steep learning curve. This, combined with the insistence on “self-documentation” can make using the software quite a challenge, particularly for those of us that don’t work in elisp all that much. Recently I took some time to sit down and… read some code. And some changelogs. All in the pursuit of a simple goal: making Elpher work with client certificates. Elpher does support client certificates and has a really nice workflow for adding new ones. It also supports associating these certificates with specific sites so you don’t need to be prompted. Sounds fantastic, but this second feature isn’t very well documented nor is it particularly obvious. Really, it needs to be documented with an example. Since I’ve worked this out and am a professional technical writer, I figured I’d give a short and sweet overview of the process of setting up the elpher-certificate-map. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ The_Guppy_Protocol_Specification_v0.2⠀⇛ I don’t know if anyone is interested in this, but let’s give it a try. It started as a thought experiment, when I looked for ‘lighter’ protocols I can implement on the Pico W. I see Spartan mentioned here and there, and I wonder if there’s any interest in going even more … spartan # ⚓ Notes_on_Running_Mastodon⠀⇛ Federation is the major thing to learn here. From the start a new instance will be completely empty, and not just because nobody’s posted on it yet. The new instance doesn’t yet know about any other instances, and other instances don’t know about it. This changes as soon as any user on the new instance starts creating a network by following or getting followed by other users. Once your instance learns about other users on other instances, those users will start showing up in places like your instance’s federated feed. This leads to a chicken and egg problem if you’re a new user on a low population instance. You’ll be looking for people to follow but you’ll only be able to see users that your instance knows about, which might not be very many. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.
