YOU ARE HERE ☞ Does Matthew J. Garrett’s Antisemitism Tell Us Anything About His Motivation in Trying to Cancel Richard Stallman? Summary: The true colours of Matthew J. Garrett are showing; this isn’t a professional or a social justice warrior, as he himself puts it (describing himself as “SJW” with a flair and everything) but a rude, vulgar lawbreaker; one might say he’s impacted by the cocaine he takes, hence he is a crackhead- turned-crackpot, who is spouting out antisemitic_words_online,_including_“gas the_Jews”_and_“kill_the_Jews” TODAY we belatedly publish part four of a series expected to last until the end of this year or next year. As a reminder, we started the series after we had unmasked Matthew_J._Garrett_as_the_puppetmaster_of_over_100_abusive_accounts. No “handler” can handle this kind of online troll, who moreover crossed over to the underworld. For those who don’t know or forgot why he matters, he basically attacked_BSD_and_GNU/Linux_users by letting Microsoft control them from the moment the computer starts up. Microsoft tried_to_hire_him, but it didn’t really need to… “No “handler” can handle this kind of online troll, who moreover crossed over to the underworld.”Within the context of Debian and the campaign to bury Richard Stallman (who was still alive in his late 60s), Matthew Garrett was working closely with Elana Hashman, who opposes_the_very_existence_of_Israel while_reciting_Hamas_slogans_in_public. For those who aren’t familiar with those antics, see the antisemitism section in the Matthew_J._Garrett_wiki, which now has Rianne’s article. This is no joking matter and we’ll keep coming back to it. “Microsoft tried to hire him, but it didn’t really need to…”The other day we took note of another_smear_campaign_against_Richard_Stallman. “Well,” said one reader, “that MIT hit piece wasn’t a quasi-hit piece it was a full-on hit piece. They should just close that “MIT Review” bullshit down after issuing an apology. With that MIT “Review” hit piece, someone is actively stoking the fire.” It was suggested in the past that racial or religious aspects had played a covert role in the campaign, but proof of it was scarce. When sober, those people keep their motivations secret. Garrett, however, seems rarely sober these days and his meltdowns always give away that he’s behind many illegal things (that he does over Tor). Well, he cannot help himself, can he? “This is no joking matter and we’ll keep coming back to it.”In fact, only a few hours ago Matthew J Garrett called me “fucking cheap ass jew”. Planet Fedora (Red Hat/IBM), Planet GNOME, and Planet Debian, which have a Code of Conduct, offer a platform to Matt “gas the Jews” Garrett. With IBM, maybe that brings back memories of its founder, who saluted_Hitler_himself_and_agreed_with Hitler's_policies. But will the free software community tolerate such people? Will Debian allow a person who says “gas the Jews” and says_he_wants_to_stab Debian_Developers_inside_the_Debian_Technical_Committee? He has_long_fantasised about_murder_by_axe. This isn’t the mind of a sane individual. █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 376 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2023/08/22/mjg-weeks-without-running-water/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2023/08/22/mjg-weeks-without-running-water/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 08.22.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Matthew_J_Garrett_is_Irrelevant_But_Still_Dangerous_to_Himself_and_Those Around_Him⠀✐ Posted in Deception, Free/Libre_Software, GNU/Linux at 10:21 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Video_download_link | md5sum 32fbde3c08ae618e6b4c06e4f2eddf1f Acts of Crackhead and Crackpot Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0 http://techrights.org/videos/mjg-fighting-for-survival.webm Summary: A deranged but still technically-resourceful person has wasted a lot of our time and capacity this past year; this will hopefully be the last post in a while that I have to do addressing the matter THIS Web site has been very productive for years and especially this past year, more so after I quit my job. Matthew_J_Garrett has been abusing us for many years, even back in the days we were in Freenode (he was the only person ever whom we muted! We had good reasons to, as the video above explains) and over the past 10 months he took his abuses to a whole new level, including actual crimes. Some time soon we’ll give a full list of the crimes and relevant laws that were breached, preferably in a chronological order. “I believe what we’re witnessing right now is the complete and total breakdown of Mr. Garrett.”Garrett, now living in the forest* without access to a shower, is totally insane. The things he says in IRC are unbelievable. It’s like he’s his own worst enemy and the more he speaks, the more he discredits himself. We’ll spare the details, but they’re somewhere in our IRC logs. I believe what we’re witnessing right now is the complete and total breakdown of Mr. Garrett. The manic rants, the rabid antisemitism and the impersonations are manifestations of his frustration and Garrett is trying to restore a water supply by mounting some pipes on some friend’s old car (Garrett cannot or does not drive). While one can perhaps sympathise with his meltdowns, that does not justify criminal behaviour. We wanted to just focus on writing articles, but he abused us endlessly for over a year, after he had already trolled us a lot for years and kept defaming me in Twitter (as he had done to many other people). “We’d rather cover technical issues, not social issues.”Garrett now claims that his coke addiction (crack-cocaine) is a disability and criticism of it is “ableism”. His Mastodon posts suggest he spent like 8 hours on some pipe job in one day (still unsure if the pipe will hold) and he’s clearly in a bad situation, even lost the home he had a mortgage (debt) on. Things aren’t looking good for Mr. Garrett. Perhaps after weeks without water he has taken his online abuses to new heights, only to realise that sooner or later he may be detained and put on trial for it. As the video above notes, I will attempt to refrain from “wasting” time on this matter until next week. We’d rather cover technical issues, not social issues. █ _____ * S.F.

Non-Interaction_With_Google_Search._Why_Your_Next_Search_Engine_Should_Be SearXNG.⠀✐ Posted in Free/Libre_Software, Google, Search at 8:21 pm by Guest Editorial Team Reprinted with permission from Ryan_Farmer Non-Interaction With Google Search. Why Your Next Search Engine Should Be SearXNG. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇SearX⦈_ In the United States, the major tech companies all spy on their users and just hand the data over to the government. Sometimes a warrant is involved, but when it is, the Constitution is increasingly seen as little more than a formality, and the tech companies almost never fight being served and often hand over more data than the warrant even asks for. That’s why I’ve stopped using Google Search. DuckDuckGo tracks you too. (It’s hosted on Microsoft Azure, it queries Microsoft Bing, there’s tracking code in the improving duckduckgo script, and they encourage you to talk about your privacy with friends……..on Facebook! They even provide a link to Facebook.) Basically, the more a tech company claims not to track you, the more they actually track you. Mac OS reports more data about its users to Apple than Windows does to Microsoft, although they are both bad. Apple even bypasses your VPN so they know exactly where you are when the reports are sent. But search engines know a lot about you because you’ll type in a lot of embarrassing things that could be evidence of criminal activity. Basically everything you can do in America is some sort of an offense if you twist the law enough and if that sounds paranoid, abortion is illegal in half the country now and State prosecutors are increasingly_turning_to_corporate_search_engines and_Facebook_to_prosecute_their_victims. Switching to a non-US hosted SearXNG_instance, like Searx_Belgium, or better, hosting your own and routing it through the Tor network (or simply through your VPN server), limits what these search engines can gather about you. Unless you type in personally identifying information, they never know who is making the search. And that’s good because, increasingly, Americans live in a fascist police state that doesn’t even pay lip service to rights and freedoms anymore. “We can prosecute you based on your Google History, wholesale.” 20 years ago, they bothered to give it lip service, now if for whatever reason they can’t get a warrant, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, or whoever will just SELL it to them. (And GET RID OF THE “SOCIAL” APPS! WhatsApp, which is Facebook, is like having to listen to the cigarette companies talking about a “safer way to smoke” for 20 years.) Since it’s easy to set a search engine in any Firefox-type browser, just use SearX. You can even set it like I do, to query Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Google, and Brave, so that even if some rate limit the instance, you still get results. One of the things I also don’t miss about corporate search engines is those damned “AI” boxes that answer your questions wrong and take half the screen, and how the entire first page would be advertisements without an ad blocker. In Chromium browsers, it’s a matter of time before Google cripples the ad blockers to where they can’t block these “sponsored” links. But SearXNG doesn’t have to send them to your browser in the first place. I have a very amnesiac browser. On top of the SeaMonkey I have a little bit rigged to make trackers more difficult, I set LibreWolf to more secure settings than it even comes with. Nobody is allowed to use Widevine DRM or WASMs, and the browser doesn’t even keep a history while I’m using it (default is to dump it on exit). I route it through my VPN. That way I’m basically in private browsing mode plus the mods plus ubo and NoScript blocking ads, trackers, and nuisances, and malware sites. This is all on top of my VPN, which I browse through the European servers, over Wireguard, with ads, trackers, and malware sites blocked again at the DNS level. Sometimes I use Tor Browser on the safer or safest settings, but only on the VPN, to make it harder for my ISP to realize it’s Tor traffic. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Gopherddit⦈_ I don’t get a lot of interruptions anymore. I’ve extended the browser to load privacy proxies like piped instead of YouTube, or Old Reddit, which isn’t overflowing with dumpster fire code like the new one is. Old Reddit Redirect is in case I end up on Reddit somehow by clicking a Reddit link from the Gopher proxy for Reddit. I have over 25 years experience hacking browsers up to be less shitty, and the job isn’t getting any easier. I think one of my favorite things about KDE is it’s easy to to proper multi- tasking unlike GNOME, which is totally busted. I think the worst part about dealing with programs on your computer is trying to hack them to get at something they’re not supposed to be able to do. But at least as long as they’re on your computer, hack away. On the Android phone I took away the Google bar because it’s taking up a lot of real estate and designed to get you to interact with them without thinking about it. Searching Searx Belgium through Fennec F-Droid is totally doable. On hacky stuff again… Last night, get this…. Last night I was setting up an AAC encoder for foobar2000 in Wine, and the options (officially) are the one from Winamp 5.6x when AOL still owned it, or the one from iTunes (the Windows one), which Apple doesn’t ship anymore (I think.). Given that Apple makes terrible code, never bothered to “properly” port any of it to Windows, and made a habit out of installing messes you didn’t want and then abandoning them to accumulate security vulnerabilities, I think I’ll take a hard pass on the iTunes even if I could hack something to death here. I plucked fhgaac from Winamp 5.666. It turns out you don’t even need the entire thing installed. All you really need to do is unpack it in such a way that it at least installs the transcoder without all the other shit then grab libmp4v2.dll and enc_fhgaac.dll out of it and copy it to the foobar2000 “encoders” folder (in my case under the 64-bit Program Files in the WoW64 structure) and then install the free codec pack if you haven’t, for foobar2000, which includes the fhgaacenc.exe that uses the libraries. I was toying around with it. It does produce acceptable results, but like everything Fraunhofer ever did there’s now another codec for AAC called FDK- AAC, so I’m going to look into implementing this too. The reason you have to go grab an old AOL build to get the AAC encoder out is that the new owner of Winamp lost their license and isn’t going to pay to get it back, but they have it set so if you install the last AOL build, then clobber it with the new version, it won’t remove the AAC encoder that’s already there. So far undoubtedly Opus 1.4 outperforms the FhG AAC encoder in quality, but FhG AAC is better than LAME MP3. AAC never really got going in the open source world. If you run into files, it’s probably something someone made at home with a “pirate codec” or got out of iTunes. Support for playing them in hardware is broad and nearly universal. But Opus has a pretty big installed base. It is hardly obscure. Even Windows can play them, to the point that Windows even matters now. Android “is the hardware” for many people, and you can just drop them on your phone. █ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿ ⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠈⠉⠉⠉⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⠯⣥⠶⢆⠲⣆⡖⢈⢿⠁⡿⣼⢸⠩⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣈⣉⣀⣉⣈⣉⣉⣀⣁⣈⣉⣀⣈⣀⣉⣁⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠇⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢀⠀⠀⣀⡀⢀⢀⣀⡀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣐⣀⣒⣐⣀⣂⣀⣂⣂⣀⣀⣐⣀⣀⣂⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀ ⢽⡏⣿⢙⡋⠟⠉⢹⡍⣿⣿⣿⣿⢹⣯⢹⣿⣿⠟⡏⣿⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠩⠩⠍⠭⠩⠉⠍⠭⠩⠉⣭⣹⠋⠩⠍ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 907 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2023/08/22/tor-browser-observations/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2023/08/22/tor-browser-observations/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 08.22.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Managing_NoScript_Whitelists_and_Some_Tor_Browser_Observations⠀✐ Posted in Free/Libre_Software, Security at 8:08 pm by Guest Editorial Team Reprinted with permission from Ryan_Farmer One of the things that does bug me about using NoScript…. Is that is keeps the text file it exports in a different format with “modern” browsers. So I can pass around one exported list by occasionally stomping the exported file with a fresh one with the latest permissions from LibreWolf and then pass it around to my other browsers that can use the WebExtension. SeaMonkey, on the other hand, uses a “Classic” unsupported version of NoScript which uses a different list format. So I end up maintaining a special version of the list, a second time, just for SeaMonkey. I’m hoping that the upcoming update adds enough backported JavaScript and WebComponents work that more sites start behaving normally in SeaMonkey. Having to pay my electric bill through another browser is a real bummer, and some sites like Walmart just look weird, although humorously, Walmart is currently bungled in Firefox to the point where you can’t schedule a grocery pickup time and checkout, but in SeaMonkey that works fine, but the site looks a little weird. So I can shop for food in SeaMonkey, but not Firefox. I’d report a site compat bug to Mozilla, but I’d get the usual “Go to Hell, also_CoC” Standard Reply assuming they even took any action on the bug report at all. Even the modern version of NoScript does not appear to have a special button to disable WASMs. I think you can stop them with blocking Object to Trusted Sites, but not sure about this, and it seems more destructive than surgically removing WASM with a preference. I noticed while I was playing with the Tor Browser last night, that the “Safer” setting, starts disabling some features that aren’t widely used while just browsing the Web. It leaves JavaScript on (but only for HTTPS sites), but it starts disabling some of the crappy features that you often don’t need. If you look at the monthly Mozilla security updates, a lot of them address High and Critical CVEs that WASM itself adds to the browser. That’s why I set javascript.options.wasm to False in all my browsers in about: config, so even sites I allow to run JavaScript can’t load WASM blobs on me. I just want to pay my phone bill, not risk having executables sent down the hatch. It seems the Tor Project agrees that WASMs are a special danger that adds a significant amount of attack surface to the browser, beyond what JavaScript alone is capable of, and it’s not really that important. So I’ve set my copy of the Tor Browser to the safer setting. It’s not what I’d like (static content Web sites), but it’s probably the best you can do and have the Web as it is work at all. They should move the slider closer to the user interface so the user can dial it up and down faster, and set it to Safest if they want to run silent, run deep for a while, and not take chances on scripts and stuff on .onion sites. Best practices for .onion sites are to remain accessible to users who can only look at static content. The way that people typically get unmasked on Tor is partially “active content” being on in the browser, and partially that the police will set up a site that requires logging in. Then the court issues a broad warrant that authorizes a “Network Investigative Technique” or a NIT, which is just fancy talk for “You are authorized to attack every user who sets up an account and attempt to plant malware on the machine.” Basically, interacting with a site like this adds you to the warrant’s scope, so sites that require logging in are a big red flag that “there’s a reason why”. So the issue of Tor unmaskings are part technical and part legal. In most cases, it’s a two-part thing where the user hands them both parts. Unfortunately, Tor Browser is set by default to have almost all the same vulnerabilities as Mozilla Firefox. █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1037 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2023/08/22/tor-project-leadership-in-doubt/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2023/08/22/tor-project-leadership-in-doubt/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 08.22.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ The_Tor_Project’s_Leadership_Has_Changed._It’s_Now_Run_by_People_Who_Misuse Tor_to_Commit_Crimes_and_Cover_Up_Crimes.⠀✐ Posted in Deception, Free/Libre_Software at 9:21 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Video_download_link | md5sum 09d93ee8d6e3a56cf52df620bcbe58dc Tor Harbouring Abuse From Within? Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0 http://techrights.org/videos/tor-and-abusers.webm Summary: Today we start a short series of posts and videos about Tor; we shall scrutinise not so much Tor (neither the software nor the project) itself but the people entrusted to manage and develop it (we reported repeated abuses; a day later no response from Tor!) THERE are many issues that I have with Tor (as a former user), both technical and social. The issues range from security to complexity (e.g. Rust/Arti) and some are about personal issues. Ryan recently_covered_one_privacy_deficit_angle (there are more, the video mentions this in passing). What if I told you that some people are developing Tor to support their own criminal activities? What if the sponsors of Tor, both people and organisations, decided to stop donating in light of such revelations? “As I say repeatedly in the video above, the goal isn’t to bash Tor but instead to compel key people to take seriously abuse of the project by some of its core people, who serve to stigmatise or stereotype Tor as a facilitator of crime rather than a defender of dissidents/activists.”As noted in the video above, Tor is very important (in spite of its flaws; nothing is perfect), but if the core team is supporting crimes or turning a blind eye to crimes that it can prevent? What does that tell us about Tor? That it is currently run by the criminal elements, having laid off or ousted a number of people over the past decade or so? Days ago my wife wrote a lengthy article about Matthew_“gas_the_Jews”_Garrett, the Coke_Fly doing bios, “Misusing_the_Tor_Network_to_Break_the_Law”. A previous_part_of_my_own_series covered the same thing. Matthew J Garrett is fast becoming a liability to the Tor project because of his spouse, who is a liability to the project and a reputational risk. Regarding the misuse of Tor, Garrett kept lying endlessly about it, only later to refute his very own lies. He’s really terrible and sloppy at covering his tracks. Just over a day ago I contacted some people I know from the Tor project and also contacted the “front desk” of the Tor project as follows: URGENT: Your own staff misuses Tor to commit serious crimes Hi, Isis Agora Luvcruft (Sarah Michelle Reichwein) and the partner, Matt “Gas the Jews” Garrett (yes, he said that over Tor), are using many nodes in the Tor network to commit very serious crimes. The crimes include Hate crimes DDOS Doxing Death threats Defamation Impersonation A lack of enforcement within your own ranks (Isis Agora Luvcruft) will result in prolonged and very negative publicly, potentially costing you funding. Tor is meant to protect activists, not facilitate criminal activities, including by your own staff. This latest escalation was due to further abuses of the Tor network to do illegal things. A day later, as of this morning, not a single reply was sent from Tor, not even an acknowledgement. I shall escalate further if necessary, even to the relevant authorities, and see where that goes. The goal here is to test the Tor project and see how it deals with abuse of Tor by its own people. As I say repeatedly in the video above, the goal isn’t to bash Tor but instead to compel key people to take seriously abuse of the project by some of its core people, who serve to stigmatise or stereotype Tor as a facilitator of crime rather than a defender of dissidents/activists. █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1154 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2023/08/22/wayland-and-ibm/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2023/08/22/wayland-and-ibm/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 08.22.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Widespread_Adoption_of_Wayland_Would_Mostly_Benefit_IBM,_Which_Has_Become Increasingly_Hostile_Towards_Software_Freedom⠀✐ Posted in Deception, Free/Libre_Software, GNU/Linux, IBM, Red_Hat at 12:00 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Video_download_link | md5sum b5050651c89ba81b53d466010de6b384 Wayland Creating New Problems Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0 http://techrights.org/videos/wayland-conundrum-revisited.webm Summary: Ryan wrote about his agonising experience with Wayland this month [1, 2]; 4 more of us weighed in and expressed similar scepticism/concerns over IBM‘s push to put Wayland in every distribution TODAY’S and yesterday’s posts from Ryan Farmer (“DaemonFC”) included rants about Wayland. As he put it himself: “If Wayland still isn’t working right after 15 years, if it still behaves like some bugged, crummy, perpetual beta software, when will it work right?” Wayland is explained in the video above, as it’s a subject we never properly covered before, at least not in a dedicated (to Wayland) video. Ryan’s first article did not mention or barely noted that Wayland does not implement important features (X.org has had those features for over 20 years and many programs of longtime GNU/Linux users STRICTLY DEPEND on these features). To make matters worse, many program swill never adopt Wayland (no support to be expected ever from old or “legacy” software) and Wayland already wastes developers’ and projects’ time. Is it worth it? “Ryan noted that APIs and ABI alike are being ignored/discarded in order to shoehorn Wayland.”Does this sound familiar? It did happen before and it disrupts momentum. Who benefits here? Ryan noted that APIs and ABI alike are being ignored/discarded in order to shoehorn Wayland. “They break both,” he said. In his post he explains the consequences of that. “The golden rule about X11,” he said in IRC, “is that whatever the client does is right as long as it’s been part of the protocol at some actual revision. I think the Wayland people know this promise isn’t actually fun to maintain, not touching core code, and so they don’t consider themselves bound by it.” “It’s become a fixture,” he said in his first post, “like an old refrigerator that never breaks down.” The two laptops I use at the moment have uptime of 200+ days with KWin and X11. This would_not_be_possible_with_Wayland_in_its_2023_form. Wayland in 2023, at least with KDE Plasma, simply isn’t ready. Based on those who put it to the test, if you do many advanced things (something beyond “GMail” and other “Web apps”), reboots will become necessary very often. A Wayland system is rarely a stable system. “Based on those who put it to the test, if you do many advanced things (something beyond “GMail” and other “Web apps”), reboots will become necessary very often.”Ryan notes that “Wayland can stop applications from reading input events from the other ones.” But your windows are typically trusted, unless it’s a “modern” Web browser, in which case untrusted programs get run on your machine and then some remote entity controls your machine. “I don’t have “Linux malware” because I haven’t installed any,” Ryan said, but some time soon they want to control what you can and cannot install on your GNU/Linux PC/server (sigStore, which is being falsely painted as vendor-neutral by the Linux Foundation, has Google and Red Hat behind it). “Apropos X11,” one reader has noted, “Ryan’s post is spot-on but some 10 years ago there was a lot of analysis of some design flaws in how keystrokes (or anything else) from one window can be captured by another. I can’t remember the term for that flaw and will never find it. It got a little coverage and then all went quiet.” Over in IRC, jrmu said: “I’m on OpenBSD and recently there’s been discussions of having adding_a_Wayland_shim” though MinceR expressed hope that “maybe OpenBSD will keep X alive” because “waylandows is pointless”. “…your windows are typically trusted, unless it’s a “modern” Web browser, in which case untrusted programs get run on your machine and then some remote entity controls your machine.”He added that “the x.org maintainers don’t understand x, so they started waylandows instead and it sucks because of that [...] then again, probably this whole industry of failure is finally coming apart at the seams. [...] they decided, as a “feature”, that they will not support pointer grabbing or warping, so some programs become impossible on waylandows, for example, an FPS that doesn’t cover _all_ of your screens will lose the mouse pointer and be unplayable [...] they decided, as another “feature”, that no clients can read the screen, so screen sharing is impossible [and] they decided, as yet another “feature”, that the official, beloved waylandows implementations can’t do server side decorations, so window management is an unreliable, inconsistent mess under them [..] “security” is their excuse for everything even though proprietarydesktop software is many things, but secure is not one of them [...] another “feature” is that you must run cancerd [systemd] so you can run their official implementations and you probably already know how secure cancerd is [...] what ibm/proprietarydesktop/ systemd cabal does is in direct opposition to the users’ freedom and community, therefore it is proprietary [...] everything they do is focused on forcing users into a walled garden controlled by IBM, where they get to pay for a support contract with IBM for any hope of support, which they won’t get because users don’t matter to IBM anyway [...] waylandows, like cancerd, was designed around the demented ideas of a small group of people like [Lennart] Poettering [...] and they wield dependencies as a weapon against the Free software community [...] the license is open source, therefore it is open source, but as you can see on the_above_linked_page, Free software is not defined in terms of license, so it’s OSPS — Open Source Proprietary Software” (we explained this in past years [1, 2, 3]). “Wayland might give many people a negative first impression of GNU/Linux.”As psydruid explained in IRC, “the license being libre is the Trojan horse in this case because it’s hard to argue against software that is libre, right? But that’s just a decoy to distract you from what it really is proprietary software with a thin layer of libre on top. If you can’t study the code, can’t understand the code, can’t modify the code and it makes no sense to distribute modifications, what is the purpose of it being libre? They’ve been making use of this confusion among Free software enthusiasts for more than a decade. I only realised it in 2017 as things changed beyond the pulseaudio nuisance I had become aware of in 2011. I gladly use OpenBSD on some of my (older) systems, mainly those that aren’t supported well by GNU/Linux distributions anymore, but I’ve also successfully run it on some of my more newer systems. I’m getting the idea that IBM would rather stand in the way of others than contribute anything at this point, which isn’t very different from what Microsoft has been doing since its inception.” So those are the views of at least 5 people, whose experiences vary but whose conclusion is similar. My own views are expressed in the video. Wayland might give many people a negative first impression of GNU/Linux. Just like Mozilla is trying to force everyone to use PulseAudio, it might soon try_to_force_GNU/Linux_users_to_adopt_Wayland. Mozilla_is_a_bad_company which does not value users’ freedom or or even choice. Mozilla’s CEO, Baker, is “just a front for Google,” one reader has remarked, “keeping Mozilla alive as long as Google needs it to remain alive but without it getting in the way ever.” █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1316 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2023/08/22/wayland-trouble/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2023/08/22/wayland-trouble/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 08.22.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ foobar2000_on_Wine,_Wayland,_and_GNOME_Equals_Trouble⠀✐ Posted in GNOME, GNU/Linux at 12:00 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Reprinted with permission from Ryan_Farmer foobar2000 on Wine, Wayland, and GNOME Equals Trouble. foobar2000 is a popular Windows program for managing audio files. It can play, organize, but also batch transcode just about anything to just about anything else. You can install the Free Encoder Pack, and if you want to use later binaries for the encoder, you can just grab the Windows x86-64 binary of the official encoder and stomp the .exe that came with foobar2000. One thing I’ve never liked about Linux transcoding programs, is that while we do have them, authors of software like SoundConverter (which is meant for GNOME and uses GTK) tend to use things like GStreamer, which was not intended to encode and has a rather bogus Opus encoder of its own that I do not like. About the only reliable destination format in SoundConverter is MP3, which uses LAME. But MP3 is an aging format. It doesn’t do well at 128k and lower VBR bitrates, and it will never do as well as Opus. foobar2000 is one of the few Windows programs I haven’t given up. But under GNOME and Wayland, it’s quite unpredictable. Sometimes it starts up with a black screen and you have to shut down the program and know which database file got corrupt and delete it. Sometimes you go to drag files from Nautilus (GNOME Files) into foobar2000, and it simply crashes foobar2000. When I posted my criticisms_of_Wayland yesterday, I didn’t include this one, simply alluding to the fact that Wayland has problems even with GNOME. This is one of them. When Wine runs, it runs on XWayland. Something about foobar2000 running on XWayland in GNOME causes these bugs. The author of foobar2000 doesn’t care what happens when you use Wine. The GNOME, GTK, and Wayland people are all IBM Red Hat types who defame people who report bugs, threaten_them_with_the_CoC, and then accuse_them_of_being_on meth and cover_up_their_own_CoC_violations_with_network_bans. So good luck getting help for this with anyone in that line of people. But when you run foobar2000 on X11, it works. It doesn’t do this. This is another case of Wayland causing problems with actual work where no problem actually existed before under X11. And I’m sure that I’m not the only person who ran into something like this, or the problems with Fallout 4. There’s simply too many problems with Wayland and GNOME to cover up, so the developers resort to trolling and hate speech, and CoC_threats_against_users and_developers_who_come_there_wanting_them_to_do_stuff. (As you can see, this behavior from Red Hat predates IBM and was toxic, completely unprofessional, and unacceptable even in 2015. If you’re not going to implement a feature, can you at least not attempt to rewrite history and come up with completely disingenuous lies?) This is why GNOME, GTK, and Wayland should just die already. Die in a fire. I’ve noticed an awful lot of cases with KDE on X11 in openSUSE Leap where I’m like “How did I tolerate Fedora, GNOME, Wayland, and the rest of this forever?” I wouldn’t mind it if they would just say “You’re not paying us and this isn’t a problem for us, so we don’t care.” but they troll you. They make you feel guilty for even asking questions. They say things like “If you don’t like Fedora, just get a refund for the money you paid!”. This is juvenile and it’s exactly the difficult personality types new users would run into 20 years ago and decide that maybe Linux just wasn’t for them. It’s sad to see that this is a problem 20 years later, and the problem is mostly in GNOME, and distributions are even still shipping GNOME despite the toxicity from the developer side. The Code of Conduct isn’t there to protect people from corporate hostility, gaslighting, hate speech, and troll squads. It’s there to muzzle people who came to make very reasonable requests. X11 was pretty much defined, written, hashed out, and developed in the time before the Red Hat “Good Old Boys” club came about. It’s hard to hijack it, rewrite history, and flame people who use it. Since I haven’t seen any indicators that Wine will work on Wayland natively soon, there’s nothing for me to even experiment with now. Maybe that’s why it tends to work and “needs replaced”. I’d say that a lot of the attitude of Red Hat just goes back to the roots of the company and hasn’t gotten any better or less toxic under IBM. In fact, their refusal to prioritize the desktop experience was basically the only reason Mandrake Linux came about. They were ahead of their time in having a desktop-oriented Linux distribution that had an easy installer and a partitioning tool that made sense, and when you installed it you were greeted by help wizards and documentation and KDE at a time when Red Hat Linux was pretty rough stuff. Now they admit that they’re not particularly worried about the Corporate Desktop anymore and don’t_think_that_business_software_even_matters. They deleted their mailing list so that it’s not easy to track the orphaned Fedora packages anymore or watch discussions about it. I’d say that you should use the time while Fedora is even supported at all to develop a migration strategy to something else. Like I did. █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1475 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 08.22.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Leftover_Links_22/08/2023:_Another_COVID-19_Resurgence⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 12:08 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Leftovers o Science o Education o Hardware o Health/Nutrition/Agriculture o Proprietary/Artificial_Intelligence_(AI) o Security # Privacy/Surveillance # Confidentiality o Defence/Aggression o Environment # Wildlife/Nature o Finance o AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics o Censorship/Free_Speech o Freedom_of_Information_/_Freedom_of_the_Press o Civil_Rights/Policing o Monopolies # Copyrights * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ The Drone Girl ☛ Ireland_finally_gets_firm_plans_for_anticipated Wing_drone_delivery_service⠀⇛ Ireland is finally set to get much-anticipated drone delivery service from Wing, the drone delivery company affiliated with Google. Wing announced this month that it would be partnering with Apian, which is a medical drone startup founded by a team of doctors from the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) and perhaps coincidentally, ex-Google employees, to build a drone delivery network. Together, Apian and Wing will work with pharmacies and other healthcare providers to deliver goods via drones in South Dublin, Ireland. Products being delivered are set to include pharmacy items, laboratory samples, and medical devices and supplies — which will be shipped out to both urban and suburban environments. o ⚓ Ali Reza Hayati ☛ Bugs_of_social_networks!⠀⇛ As I’m surrounded by my like-minded people, who care about software freedom and privacy, I’m usually questioned about why I’m not on social networks and sometimes get suggestions about what social network may suit me. I have to explain to them that my problem is not with a certain network, no matter how ethical they might be, but rather is with the essence of social networks. My problem with social networks is that they’re social and they require some bare minimum that I’m uncomfortable with. o ⚓ The Revelator ☛ A_Promise_to_a_Utah_Prairie_Dog⠀⇛ o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Brr ☛ South_Pole_Electrical_Infrastructure⠀⇛ Our continued survival here at the South Pole, as temperatures dip below -100°F, is enabled by a series of primary, secondary, and tertiary systems for keeping the station warm, lights on, water flowing, communication links healthy, and food cooking. In this post, I’m going to talk about the infrastructure for generating and distributing power at the South Pole. I won’t sugarcoat it – we burn a lot of fossil fuel here, and we burn plenty more in the supply chain along the way. It’s my sincere hope that we continue working, with urgency, to reduce the environmental footprint of US Antarctic research, both point-of-use and in the supply chains along the way. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Luna_25’s_Demise:_Raising_Fundamental_Questions About_Russia’s_Space_Program⠀⇛ The recent news that Russia’s Luna 25 Moon lander had made an unexpected lithobraking detour into the Moon’s surface, rather than the expected soft touchdown was met by a variety of responses, ranging from dismay to outright glee, much of it on account of current geopolitical considerations. Yet politics aside, the failure of this mission casts another shadow on the prospects of Russia’s attempts to revive the Soviet space program after a string of failures, including its ill-fated Mars 96 and Fobos-Grunt Mars missions, the latter of which also destroyed China’s first Mars orbiter (Yinghuo- 1) and ignited China’s independent Mars program. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ RFA ☛ Are_Americans_more_illiterate_than_they_were_70_years ago?⠀⇛ An image comparing literacy rates between the United States and China has been shared repeatedly in Chinese-language social media posts that claim the level of literacy in the U.S has noticeably declined between 1950 and 2022, while the level in China has seen a remarkable increase. The posts cited the U.S. Census Bureau and China’s Ministry of Education as sources. But the claim is misleading. The U.S. Census Bureau did not gather literacy statistics for 2022, and AFCL found the numbers mentioned in the image come from surveys with varying definitions and methodologies for measuring literacy. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Bunnie Huang ☛ Winner,_Name_that_Wäre_July_2023⠀⇛ The spirit of Name that Ware is about demystifying electronics and encouraging people to learn by taking things apart. Drawing a schematic from an image of a circuit board is a great example of this, so FETguy gets the prize this month. [...] # ⚓ Bunnie Huang ☛ Name_that_Ware,_August_2023⠀⇛ Thanks to adrian for sharing this ware! Adrian sent me several wonderful photos, and the whole thing is actually pretty neat to look at. However, for better or for worse the parts in the ware are so unique that most of them resolve to an answer with a simple search query – even those of the most humble looking 16-pin SOICs. Hopefully this partial view of the ware makes it at least a little bit of a challenge to guess. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ An_Effects_Pedal_For_Keyboards_(and_Mice)⠀⇛ Effects pedals for musical instruments like electric guitars can really expand a musician’s range with the instrument. Adding things like distortion, echo, and reverb at the push of a button can really transform the sound of a guitar and add depth to a performance. But [Guy] wondered why these effects should be limited to analog signals such as those from musical instruments, and set about to apply a number of effects to the use of computer keyboards and mice with this HID effects pedal. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Random_Access_Memory_From_A_Rotating_Drum_In_A Bendix_G15⠀⇛ When it’s the 1950s and you are tasked to design a computer system that features not only CPU registers but also a certain amount of RAM, you do not have a lot of options. At this point in time, discrete logic was the rule, and magnetic core memory still fairly new and rather expensive. This is where the rotating drum comes in, which is somewhat like a cross between an old-style cylinder record and a hard drive. In a recent [Usagi Electric] video, a 1950s Bendix G15 system is demonstrated, which features such a rotating drum device, alongside both tube-based circuits and newfangled diode-based circuitry. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ The Hill ☛ Study_links_early-life_screen_time_with developmental_delays⠀⇛ At age 2, the association is most prominent when looking at the likelihood of children at age 1 whose mothers reported four or more hours of screen time, compared to children whose mothers reported less than one hour of screen time: developmental delays are 4.78 times more likely in communication skills, 1.46 times more likely in gross motor skills, 1.74 times more likely in fine motor skills, 2.67 times more likely in problem-solving skills and 2.1 times more likely in personal and social skills. At age 4, the association remains only in communication and problem-solving skills. For children whose mothers reported four or more hours of screen time at age 1, compared with children whose mothers reported less than one hour of screen time at age 1, developmental delays in communication skills at age 4 were 2.68 times more likely and 1.91 times more likely in problem- solving skills. # ⚓ Michigan News ☛ Michigan_marijuana_sales_likely_to_surpass $3_billion,_helped_by_record-breaking_July⠀⇛ When the bold prediction was published, monthly recreational sales were just $22 million. At that rate, it would have taken more than eleven years to reach $3 billion. Yet, here we are. # ⚓ Jim Nielsen ☛ “We’re_All_Just_Temporarily_Abled”⠀⇛ That was almost three months ago now. I’m still limping. It’s getting better but it’s slow. The doctor told me, “Just be aware: this isn’t days or weeks recovery. This is months.” # ⚓ Sherri_Tenpenny:_A_quack’s_medical_license_bites_the_dust, but_for_the_wrong_reasons⠀⇛ Earlier this month, I got the news that the Ohio State Medical Board had finally suspended the license of Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, a notorious antivax quack practicing in the suburbs of Cleveland whose misinformation and quackery I’ve been discussing intermittently dating back to 2011 and even blog since 2009 (although I had mentioned her going back to at least 2007). Most people who have heard of Dr. Tenpenny learned of her in 2021, when she became infamous for claiming that COVID-19 vaccines cause people to become magnetized: # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ On_Winsome_Sonograms,_Grazing_Wildlife,_and the_“Aesthetic_Injury”_of_Abortion⠀⇛ In thenewest, lowest, dumbest, most scurrilous “argument” yet for forcing women to give birth, a MAGA “judge” has argued people like looking at sonograms and babies just like at wild animals and the FDA’s approval of a widely used abortion pill deprives them of that God-given pleasure. “Friends and family cheer at the sight of an unborn child,” writes partisan hack James Ho in a wildly misogynistic screed against women who want to decide what to do with their own bodies. But whadda they know. Just WTF. # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ He_Needed_a_Liver_Transplant._But_Did_the Risks_Outweigh_the_Reward?⠀⇛ By the time 25-year-old Tyler Waite arrived at Methodist University Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, in May 2020, his skin had turned a sickly shade of yellow. At 6-foot-3, pushing 330 pounds, his appearance was misshapen by a stomach distended with fluid. His liver had failed so much that, unless he got a new one, he likely wouldn’t live to see summer’s end. A diehard Pittsburgh Steelers fan who loved fishing, Waite worked at a software company and lived at his parents’ home in the north Atlanta suburbs, saving for a place with his fiancee and working on getting his life back on track. Over the past few years, ever since his young daughter had moved away from Georgia with her mom, Waite had struggled. Many nights, he coped by drinking large amounts of vodka in the quiet of his family’s house. # ⚓ Latvia ☛ Covid_still_takes_a_life_a_week_in_Latvia⠀⇛ The days Covid-19 took over daily news are gone. Though Covid has subsided, it hasn’t disappeared altogether. A life is still taken every week by the virus, Latvian Television reported on August 22. # ⚓ New Yorker ☛ A_Photographer’s_Frank,_Tender_Portrait_of_Her Parents’_Final_Year⠀⇛ When the pandemic came, Becky Wilkes moved her enfeebled mom and dad into her own home. Her series “Till Death Do Us Part” documents that time. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Paris_Makes_‘Summer_Terraces’_a_Permanent Part_of_Cafe_Culture⠀⇛ The neighbors may complain about the noise, but outdoor spaces that bloomed under a pandemic program are now a permanent and vibrant fixture of city life. # ⚓ Axios ☛ Gun_deaths_among_U.S._children_hit_a_new_record high⠀⇛ Data: Pediatrics analysis of CDC data; Chart: Axios Visuals Firearm_deaths among children in the U.S. hit a new record high in 2021, according to a study published Monday in the journal Pediatrics. § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ * ⚓ Stacey on IoT ☛ We_are_entering_our_maintenance_era⠀⇛ Software’s inevitable decay will continue to have more and more impact on our day-to-day lives, so we need to incentivize developers to maintain as well as innovate. We need to give employees time in their work weeks to adjust to new user interfaces or changes in their services. We also need to leave them time to play around with new tools and advances, and recognize that as productive work. * ⚓ [Repeat] Atlantic Council ☛ The_5×5—Cloud_risks_and_critical infrastructure⠀⇛ This incident illustrates some of the risks associated with cloud computing’s many benefits. While much of the discussion around cloud computing is centered around these benefits—this infrastructure bears consideration as well. Just like other critical infrastructure sectors—such as energy, water, financial services, the defense industrial base, and more—disruptions to major cloud services could have material effects on economic and national security. The cloud’s centrality to critical infrastructure is the basis of the Atlantic Council’s recent report, “Critical Infrastructure and the Cloud: Policy for Emerging Risk,” which seeks to raise awareness of the seriousness of potential cloud disruptions and increase efforts toward bolstering cloud security and resilience across critical infrastructure. To examine these risks, we brought together a group to share their perspectives on the challenges facing cloud infrastructure and how policy can encourage better security and risk governance across this critical sector. * ⚓ Daniel Miessler ☛ ATHI_—_An_AI_Threat_Modeling_Framework_for Policymakers⠀⇛ What I propose here is that we find a way to speak about these problems in a clear, conversational way. Threat Modeling is a great way to do this. It’s a way of taking many different attacks, and possibilities, and possible negative outcomes, and turning them into clear language that people understand. * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ California_DMV_hits_brakes_on_Cruise’s_SF_driverless fleet_after_series_of_fender_benders⠀⇛ The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) said it was “investigating recent concerning incidents involving Cruise vehicles in San Francisco” and is in contact with both Cruise and law enforcement officials. It said its “primary focus” was “the safe operation of autonomous vehicles and safety of the public who share the road with these vehicles,” adding it was investigating to “determine the facts.” * § Windows TCO⠀➾ o ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Cl0p_victims_attacked_through_MOVEit_Transfer_now number_730⠀⇛ Victims of the ransomware group Cl0p, attacked using vulnerabilities in the secure managed file transfer software MOVEit Transfer, now number 730, according to a count kept by the New Zealand-headquartered security firm Emsisoft. The number of individuals affected by these breaches has been estimated to be in excess of 47 million, according to data which Emsisoft says is sourced from US state breach notifications, SEC filings, other public disclosures and also Cl0p’s website. o ⚓ New Statesman ☛ What_your_organisation_needs_to_combat_modern cyber_threats⠀⇛ Cyber-attacks and security breaches have become a key source of revenue for criminal gangs operating across continents, often with little expertise. Over the last few years we’ve seen how breaches and data leaks by these shadowy networks can destroy the reputations of otherwise highly trusted companies, causing share prices to tumble. Remedying the detrimental outcomes of successful breaches can cost organisations precious time and resources and negatively impact productivity, adding further insult to the injury of negative publicity and declining customer trust. And it isn’t just a small minority who are being affected: according to data released by the UK government in April this year, over a third (37 per cent) of large businesses, and over a quarter (25 per cent) of medium- sized businesses have been victims of cyber-attacks in the last year alone. § Security⠀➾ * ⚓ Unix Men ☛ 3_Reasons_Why_Linux_is_the_Best_Choice_to_Achieve_Optimal System_Security⠀⇛ With technological advancements, hackers are becoming increasingly adept at identifying vulnerabilities and gaps in security systems. This makes unauthorized access to secure data and files prevalent, underscoring the critical importance of robust application security measures. This susceptibility to breaches is especially true today, as applications are tightly integrated with cloud platforms. While some choose to incorporate a multi cloud security strategy to safeguard essential business assets like customer data and applications within cloud environments, selecting the appropriate operating system is equally important. Linux, an operating system, emerges as a significant option, furnishing an additional layer of protection for your applications. Continue reading to discover the compelling reasons behind Linux’s efficacy in fortifying security. * § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ o ⚓ Foreign Policy ☛ Sam_Altman_Has_a_Plan_to_Tame_the_AI_He Unleashed⠀⇛ Lately, however, the conversation has been all about Worldcoin, an initiative backed by another of Altman’s companies called Tools for Humanity. It aims to create a “globally inclusive identity and financial network, owned by the majority of humanity,” according to a white paper describing the project. What that means in practice is a unique digital identifier for each person on Earth, known as a World ID, tied to a bespoke cryptocurrency called WLD. Together, the company says, they can be used to authenticate human beings online in the age of rapidly proliferating AI bots while also providing a pathway to a universal basic income in a global economy disrupted by AI. Worldcoin is starting out with a sizable war chest, having raised $115 million in funding from some of Silicon Valley’s biggest investors that it announced in May o ⚓ Broadband Breakfast ☛ Fiber_Helps_Co-ops_to_Save_on_Electric_Grid Usage,_Saving_Money⠀⇛ High-speed broadband connectivity enables the smart grid, a network that allows for two-way communication between the utility and its customers, to ensure that electricity is being managed in the most efficient way, said Graves. o ⚓ Citizen Lab ☛ Vulnerabilities_in_Sogou_Keyboard_encryption_expose keypresses_to_network_eavesdropping⠀⇛ We found that network transmissions containing sensitive data such as those containing users’ keystrokes are decipherable by a network eavesdropper, revealing what users are typing as they type. o ⚓ Cryptography Engineering ☛ Some_rough_impressions_of_Worldcoin⠀⇛ Recently a reader wrote in and asked if I would look at Sam Altman’s Worldcoin, presumably to give thoughts on it from a privacy perspective. This was honestly the last thing I wanted to do, since life is short and this seemed like an obvious waste of it. Of course a project devoted to literally scanning your eyeballs was up to some bad things, duh. o ⚓ EFF ☛ Vulnerability_in_Tencent’s_Sogou_Chinese_Keyboard_Can_Leak Text_Input_in_Real-Time⠀⇛ The report shows the Windows and Android implementations were vulnerable to eavesdropping, while the iOS version wasn’t. Of particular note, Sogou Input Method has around 450 million monthly active users worldwide. It’s used not only in China, but also has a large userbase in the United States, Japan, and Taiwan. It is not known if this vulnerability was previously discovered or exploited. However, given the level of network access and broad latitude afforded to state authorities within China, it’s possible that users of the keyboard (especially those located within China) may have had their private communications leaked to the Chinese state. The researchers found  this vulnerability was due to the use of custom cryptography vulnerable to a padding oracle attack. Implementing cryptographic algorithms is an extremely precarious and rigorous effort. Even when done relatively well, a side-channel attack can undo the basic guarantees these algorithms are meant to provide. Best practice dictates that well-vetted cryptographic libraries which are made available by the system—rather than coded on one’s own—should be used to avoid these attacks and ensure the latest protections are available against weaknesses. As of 2003, the vulnerabilities in this particular implementation were already fixed in TLS implementations. We applaud the scrupulous cryptanalysis and reverse- engineering work done by the security researchers Jeffrey Knockel, Zoë Reichert, and Mona Wang (who formerly worked at EFF). By bringing these vulnerabilities to light, public-interest analysts serve as a bulwark against the secretive hoarding of vulnerabilities by authorities and deployment of them as a spying tool used to invade the privacy of us all. Only by responsibly disclosing and publicizing these flaws can they be fixed, and can the general public make informed decisions about what software they wish to use in the future. * § Confidentiality⠀➾ o ⚓ Cendyne Naga ☛ Storing_passkeys_in_password_managers_is_okay, actually⠀⇛ Recall how challenging it is to keep passwords apart and to never send them to the wrong recipient. Password managers have this neat benefit: they know when you reuse passwords between sites and can make up unguessable passwords unique for each site! Then when you sign into one site, it doesn’t recommend passwords for another site. However, password managers do not stop confused users or victims of phishing from copying passwords out and into another website or application. § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ * ⚓ JURIST ☛ Somalia_bans_TikTok,_Telegram_and_1XBet_over_impact_on youths⠀⇛ The Somali Ministry of Communications and Technology (MOCT) announced on Sunday that Somalia decided to ban the short-form video hosting platform TikTok, the instant messaging platform Telegram, and the online gambling platform 1XBet, for their undue influence on Somali youths, which the ministry says had “caused some of them to lose their lives.” * ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ What_Trump’s_four_indictments_tell_us_about_America⠀⇛ What’s more, Mr. Trump faces felony charges, both federally and in Georgia, that go right to the essence of democracy: alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. In that light, presidential historians say, the United States is at a turning point. The charges could prompt a “resurgence of democratic norms and principles,” says Lindsay Chervinsky, a senior fellow at the Center for Presidential History at Southern Methodist University. Or we could be seeing the precursor to a presidency unlike any in American history, including Mr. Trump’s first term. At this point, Watergate looks downright quaint. * ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ The_Feds_Asked_TikTok_for_Lots_of_Domestic_Spying_Features⠀⇛ Forbes reports that the draft agreement, dated Summer 2022, would have given the US government agencies like the Department of Justice and Department of Defense far more access to TikTok’s operations than that of any other social media company. The agreement would let agencies examine TikTok’s US facilities, records, and servers with minimal prior notice and veto the hiring of any executive involved with leading TikTok US data security organization. It would also let US agencies block changes to the app’s terms of service in the US and order the company to subject itself to various audits, all on TikTok’s dime, per Forbes. In extreme cases, the agreement would allow government organizations to demand TikTok temporarily shut off functioning in the US. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ US_Gov_Warns_of_Foreign_Intelligence_Cyberattacks Against_US_Space_Industry⠀⇛ The Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC) have issued an alert about the increased targeting of the US space industry by foreign intelligence entities (FIEs). * ⚓ India Times ☛ ‘Elon_Musk_told_Pentagon_he_spoke_to_Putin_directly’⠀⇛ Musk volunteered the information during an October conversation with Colin Kahl, then the Pentagon’s top policy official, about Ukrainian forces losing connection to Space Exploration Technologies Corp’s Starlink service as they entered territory contested by Russia, the magazine said Monday. * ⚓ New Yorker ☛ Elon_Musk’s_Shadow_Rule⠀⇛ By then, Musk’s sympathies appeared to be manifesting on the battlefield. One day, Ukrainian forces advancing into contested areas in the south found themselves suddenly unable to communicate. “We were very close to the front line,” Mykola, the signal-corps soldier, told me. “We crossed this border and the Starlink stopped working.” The consequences were immediate. “Communications became dead, units were isolated. When you’re on offense, especially for commanders, you need a constant stream of information from battalions. Commanders had to drive to the battlefield to be in radio range, risking themselves,” Mykola said. “It was chaos.” Ukrainian expats who had raised funds for the Starlink units began receiving frantic calls. The tech executive recalls a Ukrainian military official telling him, “We need Elon now.” “How now?” he replied. “Like fucking now,” the official said. “People are dying.” Another Ukrainian involved told me that he was “awoken by a dozen calls saying they’d lost connectivity and had to retreat.” The Financial Times reported that outages affected units in Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Donetsk, and Luhansk. American and Ukrainian officials told me they believed that SpaceX had cut the connectivity via geofencing, cordoning off areas of access. * ⚓ New York Times ☛ Saudi_Border_Guards_Accused_of_Killing_Hundreds_of African_Migrants⠀⇛ Border guards in Saudi Arabia have regularly opened fire on African migrants seeking to cross into the kingdom from Yemen, killing hundreds of men, women and children in a recent 15- month period, Human Rights Watch said in a report released on Monday. The guards have beaten the migrants with rocks and bars, forced male migrants to rape women while guards watched and shot detained migrants in their limbs, leading to permanent injuries and amputations, the report said. The shooting of migrants is “widespread and systematic,” it said, adding that if killing them were Saudi government policy, it would constitute a crime against humanity. * ⚓ France24 ☛ Crimes_‘beyond_imagination’:_Saudi_border_guards_killed hundreds_of_migrants,_HRW_report_says⠀⇛ “Saudi border guards have used explosive weapons and shot people at close range, including women and children, in a pattern that is widespread and systematic.

Saudi border guards reportedly fired on people even when they complied with orders. HRW found expanding Saudi Arabian border security infrastructure on commonly traveled migrant routes, as well as expanding burial grounds near migrant camps. HRW called the recent pattern of killings a change from “an apparent practice of occasional shootings” to “widespread and systematic killings.” * ⚓ Defence Web ☛ Civilian_support_for_military_coups_is_rising_in_parts_of Africa:_why_the_reasons_matter⠀⇛ The data shows that from 2000 to the present, the level of support for military rule as a form of government has doubled, from 11.6% of people supporting “much” or “very much” military rule as a form of government to 22.3%. Of the 37 countries analysed, there were 11 where support for military dictatorship was decreasing and 26 where this figure was on the rise. The latest Afrobarometer data shows that support for democracy has fallen in the last year. Out of 38 countries, only four show decreasing support for military rule since 2000, whereas 34 show higher support for higher military rule than in 2000. * ⚓ Robert Reich ☛ 5_Facts_About_Trump’s_Indictments⠀⇛ * ⚓ The Gray Zone ☛ Neocon_dark_money_front_launches_desperate_ad_blitz_as support_for_Ukraine_forever_war_craters⠀⇛ * ⚓ Meduza ☛ ‘A_patriotic_act’_What_Russia’s_anti-war_activists_can_learn from_Americans_who_resisted_the_Vietnam_War_—_Meduza⠀⇛ David Cortright is an American anti-war activist who spoke out against the Vietnam War while serving as a soldier in the U.S. Army from 1968–1971.

A toxic lake bed is emerging from the receding water as the suburban sprawl inches ever closer to meet it. At the shore of Antelope Island, where the briny water of the lake laps against land, Utah’s water issues also become air issues. “It’s like a bathtub, or a toilet bowl, with no drain,” Molly Blakowski, PhD candidate in the Department of Watershed Sciences at Utah State University, said of the lake. What we discard into the watershed ends up in the lake—and, increasingly, our air. * ⚓ Teen Vogue ☛ Extreme_Heat_in_Europe:_Soaring_Temperatures_and_the Heatwaves_to_Come⠀⇛ What’s clear, and what has always been clear, about the climate is that we need to treat the disease and not the symptom. Ensuring every house has an air conditioner will temporarily make us cooler, but it won’t keep us that way. Even air conditioning has its limits and is dependent on other factors. New York City’s 2019 heat wave proved that when a power outage in Brooklyn and Queens left more than 50,000 residents without power for more than 24 hours — and, in turn, without cold air. * ⚓ NPR ☛ In_Maui,_850_people_are_still_unaccounted_for⠀⇛ “There is positive news in this number, because when this process began, the missing person list contained over 2,000 names,” Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen said via Instagram. “Through the tireless work of the FBI and the Maui Police Department, over 1,285 individuals have been located safe,” he added. * ⚓ The Hill ☛ Biden_tours_‘overwhelming’_devastation_in_Maui:_‘The_country grieves_with_you’⠀⇛ President Biden on Monday mourned the loss of life and destruction in Maui and vowed to aid rebuilding efforts in the wake of historic wildfires that have decimated the island. * ⚓ Audi Group ☛ Lamborghini_unveils_the_Lanzador:_future_electric emotion⠀⇛ The Lanzador is equipped with two electric motors, one for each axle, providing all-wheel drive and efficiency in all driving conditions, on all surfaces, and in every driving style.

Evacuation orders are in place for more than 35,000 people, and 30,000 more have been told to be prepared to evacuate. Nearly all 20,000 residents have already left the city of Yellowknife, the capital of Canada’s Northwest Territories. Scientists say climate change is increasing the risk of wildfires because they are fueled by the increasingly hot and dry weather. “There’s a symbiosis here between how the climate is changing relative to the length of a potential fire season and the fuels that provide energy to fires,” says Bob Gray, a wildland fire ecologist, speaking to us from Chilliwack, British Columbia. Gray warns that Canada’s firefighting workforce is stretched thin, relying on a network of provincial firefighters, contractors and international firefighters. § Finance⠀➾ * ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ South_Africa_Hosts_Major_BRICS_Summit_as_Bloc_Eyes Expanding_in_Global_South_to_Counter_Western_Powers⠀⇛ BRICS — the five-country bloc of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — is holding a monumental summit in Johannesburg this week where the group will discuss a number of major issues, including expanding membership and how to improve financial cooperation. Over 40 countries have expressed interest in joining BRICS, and 23 countries have formally applied to join the bloc, including Saudi Arabia, Iran, United Arab Emirates, Argentina, Indonesia, Egypt and Ethiopia. The summit is a “very unstable situation,” as member countries vary greatly on priorities and many potential candidates for membership are “mostly tyrannies, carbon-addicted economies,” says Patrick Bond, director of the Centre for Social Change at the University of Johannesburg. “Some of these machinations are hegemonic projects to stop dissent at home and actually call for a unity that does not benefit the masses,” says South African activist and scholar Trevor Ngwane, who criticizes BRICS as “projecting a false hope to the masses” for posing as an alternative to U.S. and Western imperialism. * ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ New_York_Workers_Are_Waiting_on_$79_Million_in_Back Wages⠀⇛ Saprina James was hopeful when she received a letter in 2019 about her wage theft claim against her former employer. The letter said the New York State Department of Labor had substantiated her claim and ordered Mugisha F. Sahini and his company, Riverside Line, to pay her more than $70,000 in back wages. “I was feeling good that the government was on my side, and that I would soon get paid,” she said. James first started driving a van for Sahini in January 2016, taking people to medical appointments in Buffalo, New York. She often worked six days a week, usually helping dialysis patients who relied on walkers, and drove clients from 4:30 a.m. until 10 p.m. She didn’t mind the long hours — she assumed that her pay would ultimately reflect her hard work. * ⚓ Meduza ☛ Raiffeisenbank_establishes_minimum_$1,000_fee_for_transferring U.S._dollars_to_clients’_accounts,_citing_‘changing_market_conditions’_— Meduza⠀⇛ Raiffeisenbank, the Russian subsidiary of Austria’s Raiffeisen Bank International, announced Monday that from September 1, the fee for transferring funds in U.S. dollars to a client’s account from other banks will be 50 percent of the transfer amount, with a minimum of $1,000, but no more than the incoming amount.

Both of these claims are incredibly deceptive, relying on the assumption that most won’t bother to read the actual legislation. If they did, they would see that (1) the law has received royal assent and can take effect anytime and (2) the regulation making process addresses only a small subset of Bill C-18 issues with most of the core issues finalized. In other words, the time to shape the law and address many of the key concerns was before the government repeatedly cut off debate in order to ensure it that received royal assent before the summer break. * ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ White_House_Announces_AI_Cybersecurity_Challenge⠀⇛ At Black Hat last week, the White House announced an AI Cyber Challenge.

Arévalo, a member of the Semilla party, took nearly 60% of the vote Sunday after months of political persecution. In June, Arévalo stunned many in Guatemala when he placed second in the first round of voting after running on an anti-corruption platform. Soon after, the attorney general’s office suspended Arévalo’s Semilla party, and police raided their offices. In Guatemala City, we speak with Guatemalan human rights lawyer Frank LaRue and award- winning investigative journalist Allan Nairn about this historic election. LaRue and Nairn agree this election proves that Guatemalans want a change from the country’s history of corruption and military dictatorships, but the situation remains tense in the country as oligarchs will most likely attempt to disrupt Arévalo’s transition to power. “This could be the beginning of a turn in Guatemalan history,” says Nairn, who predicts the next phase of this election process will be people demonstrating popular support to force a transition of power. “They may have to take to the streets to defend the results of this vote.” * ⚓ Meduza ☛ Leonid_Volkov:_Navalny-founded_Anti-Corruption_Foundation helped_1.5K_supporters_from_Russia_get_humanitarian_visas_or_asylum abroad_—_Meduza⠀⇛ In an interview with the German news network Deutsche Welle, Leonid Volkov, the ex-chairman of Alexey Navalny’s Anti- Corruption Foundation, said that ACF has been able to help more than 1,500 of its supporters get humanitarian visas or asylum in different countries of the world. * ⚓ Meduza ☛ Navalny_urges_voters_to_support_any_candidate_running_against Russia’s_ruling_party_in_upcoming_elections_—_Meduza⠀⇛ Jailed Russian opposition figure Alexey Navalny called on his supporters and opposition voters to participate in the Russian elections set to take place in September 2023 and to vote “for any candidate against United Russia.” Navalny employed the same strategy during the 2011 Russian election campaign. * ⚓ Axios ☛ House_Freedom_Caucus_fires_warning_shot_over_government shutdown⠀⇛ Members of the House Freedom Caucus are making it harder for leadership to avoid a government shutdown, announcing on Monday that they’ll oppose a stopgap_funding_bill unless it caves to their terms.

The CBO finds that the income gap in constant dollars between the lowest and highest-paid 20 percent of the population, even using a Gramm-like measure including government transfers, has more than doubled since 1980. Biased research is nothing new, of course. Cigarette makers set the mold in the 1950s when they parried growing evidence of tobacco’s causal links to cancer with the creation of the Tobacco Industry Research Committee, ostensibly an independent group of scientists to study “all phases of tobacco and health.” In reality, the research topics were dictated by the tobacco industry and were designed to persuade the public that smoking was safe. § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ * ⚓ Screen Rant ☛ John_Wayne_Was_In_A_Shocking_90-Year-Old_Sex_Drama_That Completely_Changed_Hollywood_Censorship⠀⇛ The Pre-Code era was the short bit of time (1927-1934) between the widespread proliferation of pictures with sound and the revision and enforcement of the Motion Picture Production Code censorship guidelines, more infamously known as the Hays Code.

The invasion begins in February. For a while, Muratov stays ahead of the censorship and the threats (journalists deemed “foreign agents” receive long prison sentences). But by April, it’s beginning to be too much. He is attacked on a train by a “veterans’ group”, red paint and acetone thrown over him, burning his eyes. The newspaper’s move to Riga is made.

Since the start of 2023, a verified total of 423 individuals have been executed in Iran, though insiders believe the actual figure could be significantly higher. The rate of executions in Iran has been rising sharply, particularly in the wake of widespread protests that swept across the country last year following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini while in police custody for an alleged head scarf violation. * ⚓ Omicron Limited ☛ Chicago_stargazers_find_more_light_pollution_and wildfires_are_obscuring_the_skies⠀⇛ But, due in part to light pollution and smoke from Canadian wildfires exacerbated by climate change, stargazing in the Chicago area is in danger.

In a study published on Sunday (Aug. 20), the Atlantic revealed how OpenAI, Meta, and other tech companies use pirated books from shadow libraries, paying nothing for the content that trains and powers their large language models. o ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ Revealed:_The_Authors_Whose_Pirated_Books_Are Powering_Generative_AI⠀⇛ In fact, it was.

Its contents more than justify a fundamental aspect of the authors’ allegations: Pirated books are being used as inputs for computer programs that are changing how we read, learn, and communicate. The future promised by AI is written with stolen words.z [...] This is, to an extent, a story about clashing cultures: The tech and publishing worlds have long had different attitudes about intellectual property. For many years, I’ve been a member of the open-source software community. The modern open-source movement began in the 1980s, when a developer named Richard Stallman grew frustrated with AT&T’s proprietary control of Unix, an operating system he had worked with. (Stallman worked at MIT, and Unix had been a collaboration between AT&T and several universities.) In response, Stallman developed a “copyleft” licensing model, under which software could be freely shared and modified, as long as modifications were re-shared using the same license. The copyleft license launched today’s open-source community, in which hobbyist developers give their software away for free. If their work becomes popular, they accrue reputation and respect that can be parlayed into one of the tech industry’s many high-paying jobs. I’ve personally benefited from this model, and I support the use of open licenses for software. But I’ve also seen how this philosophy, and the general attitude of permissiveness that permeates the industry, can cause developers to see any kind of license as unnecessary. o ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Flawless_IPTV_Fugitive_Detained_in_Thailand Following_UK_Police_Request⠀⇛ In May five men behind pirate IPTV service Flawless TV were sentenced to more than 30 years in prison following a Premier League prosecution.

Human eyes can detect a broader range of colors than any devices in the graphics chain. Since each device can generate, capture or reproduce a specific subset of colors and tones, color management controls color conversion and calibration across devices to ensure a more accurate and consistent color representation. We can expose a GPU-accelerated display color management pipeline to support this process and enhance results, and this is what we are doing on Linux to improve color management on Gamescope/SteamDeck. Even with the challenges of being external developers, we have been working on mapping AMD GPU color capabilities to the Linux kernel color management interface, which is a combination of DRM and AMD driver-specific color properties. This more extensive color management pipeline includes pre-defined Transfer Functions, 1-Dimensional LookUp Tables (1D LUTs), and 3D LUTs before and after the plane composition/blending. The study of color is well-established and has been explored for many years. Color science and research findings have also guided technology innovations. As a result, color in Computer Graphics is a very complex topic that I’m putting a lot of effort into becoming familiar with. I always find myself rereading all the materials I have collected about color space and operations since I started this journey (about one year ago). I also understand how hard it is to find consensus on some color subjects, as exemplified by all explanations around the 2015 online viral phenomenon of The_Black_and Blue_Dress. Have you heard about it? What is the color of the dress for you? # ⚓ Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC) ☛ Linux_Plumbers Conference:_VFIO/IOMMU/PCI_MC_CFP⠀⇛ On behalf of the PCI sub-system maintainers, we would like to invite everyone to join the VFIO/ IOMMU/PCI micro-conference (MC) this year.

They make driving in anything other than a large truck scary, because they wreck your visibility even in optimal conditions. They also tend to be driven by oblivious people or jerks, which I can appreciate from personal experience. Aaron in Milwaukee told a harrowing story of his hatchback being forced off a road in sleety conditions by a Dodge RAM driver who was either asleep or malicious. Chuck in Austin discussed a move back to the Pacific Northwest, in part due to being fed up being threatened by the sheer number of these trucks in Texas.

Border Guard told Latvian Television on August 21 that they are ready for possible threats. # ⚓ LRT ☛ US_tells_citizens_to_leave_Belarus immediately⠀⇛ The US embassy in Minsk on August 21 told US citizens to leave Belarus immediately and advised any Americans planning a trip to the East European country not to go. # ⚓ LRT ☛ ‘Robbed_of_childhood’:_Overcoming_trauma_in Lithuanian_exile⠀⇛ Belarusian opposition politician Palina Sharenda-Panasyuk was at home in the western city of Brest in January 2021 when the police broke down her door and led her away in handcuffs as her 4-year-old son looked on. # ⚓ LRT ☛ Complete_closure_of_Lithuania’s_border_with Belarus_unnecessary_at_present_–_adviser⠀⇛ Complete closure of Lithuania’s border with Belarus is not necessary at present, says Kęstutis Budrys, national security adviser to the Lithuanian president. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ U.S._Embassy_In_Minsk_Again_Tells_Americans To_Leave_Belarus⠀⇛ The U.S. Embassy in Minsk on August 21 told U.S. citizens to leave Belarus immediately and advised any Americans planning a trip to the East European country not to go. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Tour_Of_Moscow’s_Sewer_Tunnels_Ends_In_At_Least Four_Deaths_After_Heavy_Rainfall_Overwhelms_System⠀⇛ The bodies of four people, including two teenagers, who took part in an excursion into Moscow’s sewer tunnels have been found in the Moskva River # ⚓ Axios ☛ Tropical_Storm_Hilary_slammed_Southern_California with_historic_rainfall⠀⇛ New rainfall records were set across Los Angeles County after Tropical_Storm_Hilary crossed into Southern California near Palm Springs on Sunday evening after earlier making landfall in Mexico. # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ Axios ☛ Hawai’i_braces_for_crushing_death_toll_with 850_missing_nearly_2_weeks_on_from_fires⠀⇛ There are 850 people who remain missing nearly two weeks after Hawai’i’s_historic wildfires, as state officials warn the death toll will climb while search and recovery efforts continue. The big picture:The fire that razed most of the historic_town_of_Lahaina on Maui on Aug. 8 is already one of the deadliest_wildfires in modern U.S. history, but the full extent of its devastation may not be known for a long while. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ YLE ☛ Nordea_joins_current_account_interest_trend⠀⇛ Finnish banks have been criticised for not paying interest on current accounts, even though customers may pay a rate of over 4 percent on mortgages, for example. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Seoul’s_Yeouido_financial_hub_to_go English-friendly_to_attract_investment⠀⇛ Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon is committed to transforming Yeouido into a global financial hub. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ RFA ☛ Myanmar’s_junta_arrests_Swiss_filmmaker,_13_cast members_for_defaming_Buddhism⠀⇛ One film, posted on YouTube last month, emphasized the importance of Buddha’s teachings over images and pagodas. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ JURIST ☛ India_state_high_court_orders_re-investigation into_2021_police_shooting_death_of_tribe_member⠀⇛ India’s Jharkhand High Court on Thursday released its judgment ordering a new investigation into the killing of a man which took place in the district of Latehar in 2021. # ⚓ New Yorker ☛ Someone’s_in_the_Kitchen_with_Ted_Sarandos⠀⇛ With actors and writers on strike, Netflix decided to squeeze new content out of its cooking shows by opening a restaurant in L.A. o § Monopolies⠀➾ # § Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ Dennis Crouch/Patently-O ☛ Size_Matters:_Element-by- Element_Analysis_in_Obviousness⠀⇛ In re Universal Electronics, Inc., No. 2022- 1716 (Fed. Cir. Aug. 15, 2023) (non- precedential) This was a consolidated appeal from two Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) decisions affirming the rejection of claims from Universal Electronics, Inc.’s (UEI) U.S. Patent Application Nos. 12/645,037 and 16/ 279,095 as obvious under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  On appeal, the Federal Circuit has affirmed. # ⚓ Dennis Crouch/Patently-O ☛ Utility_Patents_Granted per_Calendar_Year,_1840-2022⠀⇛ I’m getting ready to teach my Fall 2023 Patent Law class, and that means updating the granted utility patents graph that I do every few years.  This year’s version shows U.S. utility patents granted per year from 1840- 2022: Data for 2023 isn’t included in the table, but as of July 25, 2023, the authority file contains just 171,556 patents.  If the pace remains the same, that would work out to about 294,000 patents granted this calendar year–around 10% fewer than 2022 (327,482 granted patents) and around 18% lower than 2020 (356,640 granted patents). (In contrast, at the end of July 2022 there were 186,500 patents listed on the Authority file.) But my sense is that the drop from 2022 may be due to a delay in actually publishing the granted patents rather than reflecting a decline. # ⚓ Kluwer Patent Blog ☛ Unified_Patent_Court_extends number_of_technically_qualified_judges [Ed: Unified Patent Court is illegal, unconstitutional and it will likely fall over due to the fact that it exists in defiance of international conventions. The UPC profiteers carry on with this crime of theirs regardless, looking to make a buck or a euro because the inevitable outcome.]⠀⇛ Since the start of June 2023, 21 new technically qualified judges have been appointed to the Unified Patent Court and more will follow later this year. > # ⚓ Unified Patents ☛ Ask_Sydney_image_search_patent reexam_granted⠀⇛ On August 18, 2023, six weeks after Unified filed_an_ex_parte_reexamination, the Central Reexamination Unit (CRU) granted Unified’s request, finding a substantial new question of patentability on the challenged claims of U.S._Patent_10,474,705, owned and asserted by Ask Sydney, LLC, an NPE. The ‘705 patent relates to analyzing tags associated with a sequence of images presented to a user to guide a user to a current interest. # § Trademarks⠀➾ # ⚓ TTAB Blog ☛ TTABlog_Test:_Which_of_these_Section_2(d) Refusals_Was/Were_Reversed?⠀⇛ Here are three recent appeals from Section 2 (d) refusals. At least one of the refusals was reversed. How do you think these came out? Answers will be found in the first comment. # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ AI-Generated_Art_Cannot_Be Copyrighted,_Rules_US_Federal_Court_In_Another_Landmark Decision⠀⇛ Art created by artificial intelligence without human input cannot be copyrighted under US law, rules a federal court in Washington, DC. When Stephen Thaler, the creator of an AI system he calls the “Creativity Machine,” sought to register work generated by the system for copyright… # ⚓ Reason ☛ No_Copyright_for_Certain_AI-Generated_Works, but_Maybe_Yes_for_Others,_if_Prompts_are_Detailed Enough⠀⇛ From Thaler v. Perlmutter, decided Friday by Judge Beryl Howell (D.D.C.): Plaintiff Stephen Thaler owns a computer system he calls the “Creativity Machine,” which he claims generated a piece of visual art of its own accord. # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ Forensic_Watermarking_Tool_Embeds Trackable_Info_in_Every_Frame⠀⇛ A new forensic watermarking tool promises to be able to recover actionable information for piracy and copyright-infringement pursuits over a single frame. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 4601 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 08.22.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Gemini_Links_22/08/2023:_GitHub_Turning_Nastier,_Google_Domains_Migration⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 8:27 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal/Opinions o Technology_and_Free_Software # Internet/Gemini * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ We_are_all_Jimmy_–_an_A.I_generated_short_story.⠀⇛ I’ve never really dabbled in AI before. A couple of days ago, I gave it a shot for a few hours, but then I kind of lost interest but this is what came out of it. # ⚓ Chicken_Of_The_Woods_2023⠀⇛ It is that time of the year again. Yesterday (which was a Monday) on my way to work I have spotted a Chicken Of The Woods. It came as a little surprise, because last Friday, on my way home, there was not a trace of it to be seen. So it went pretty fast this year. On the other hand, I have come to expect it already, because it is growing there every year around this time, always on the same tree. It is a white willow, the only one far and wide, and I pass it by twice every working day. # ⚓ Chena_Hot_Springs_Photos_(publ._2023-08-22)⠀⇛ My family made a camping trip to Chena Hot Springs Resort this last weekend. We used my brother’s trailer camper and rented a camping spot (20 USD per day). It went well, and despite rain and a fussy toddler, we had a enjoyable time for the most part. I took lots of family photos, of course, but am not sharing those here. I did, however, take some audio recordings of the water running under a bridge, the first one that goes over Montana Creek. # ⚓ Fire_Update⠀⇛ Well, I actually got an email after yesterday’s phlog post, so I thought I should provide an update on the fire situation. You never know. I might have two readers! Environment Canada is predicting rain showers tomorrow night and there’s a 60% chance of showers for Tuesday and Wednesday. The BC Wildfire service says that the fire is not moving as quickly today. It’s calm out and the temperature is lower (a high of 22C today). The fire came 20 km in my direction on Friday. It’s 20 km away now and my house is right on the edge of a forest that almost crosses right through the middle of town. So the weather changes are a relief. # ⚓ The_Local_Blame_Game_/_Makeshift_Scrubber_/_I_Want_a Typewriter!⠀⇛ Well, here’s the daily fire update: The macro-news: - they’ve added a new alert zone (which means you’re supposed to be ready to evacuate) a couple of km away. It doesn’t really make sense because the people on the far side of it, who are closer to the fire, are not on alert. I don’t really think much has changed since yesterday. - locals are accusing the BC Wildfire Service of making the fire worse with a controlled ignition. The idea is that you burn the forest off before the fire can get to it. The Wildfire Service set their fire when the wind was blowing toward the two forest fires that were out of control, knowing that the wind was going to reverse on them. They thought that the fires would then turn back on the already burned areas. There’s some debate over whether the plan worked. The two wildfires joined together and jumped the planned ignition zone. To be fair, it was windy as hell and to the south of us, a wildfire jumped Okanagan Lake, which is pretty crazy. # ⚓ Goodbye_vacation⠀⇛ An interesting weather day today. At lunch time we had a thunderstorm, which changed things up from the daily sunshine. I grew up liking thunderstorms – the louder the better – so I find it amusing when people get scared of them, “It’s God bowling. When thunder claps it’s him geting a strike.” is probably one most people in the West have heard. There isn’t a concept of only one God in Japan’s two main religions however, so it doesn’t translate well. # ⚓ How_I_read⠀⇛ I wonder sometimes if anyone who reads my journal also reads any of the books I write about. I used to get emails from time to time about what I write here but I guess as I’ve fallen away from such a close focus on the horsemen toward chronicling moments of domestic bliss there’s been less for anyone still reading to say to me. I write for myself, though, so I’ll keep writing. I write and read to think, to feel. Wide vistas open up, big breaths fill my lungs, things once discrete combine and make sense. I must do both. I have a particular taste in books. I’ve gotten my hands on books I want to read a variety of ways. Child me read all my parents’ books and all the library’s. Teen me stole. Young adult me tricked for books (and still stole). Finally I found inter- library loan. I rarely buy a book anymore, though I still own thousands. # ⚓ Wearing_Dresses,_Men’s_Edition⠀⇛ I’ve been wrestling with these ideas since my daughter was born, 11 years ago. The notions of gender norms, how we raise children differently depending on whether they’re girls or boys, how ‘society’ does exactly this, regardless of what we do as parents. Why is it my daughter wearing her big brother’s ‘Cars’ t-shirt is perfectly fine, but her little brother getting her ‘Frozen’ t-shirt is not generally acceptable? Many people will refute the premise of the above question, but it’s true in my world, and probably in yours too. When it’s no longer noteworthy, then I’ll accept it’s no longer true. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Manipulate_PDF_files_easily_with_pdftk⠀⇛ I often need to work with PDF, sometimes I need to extract a single page, or add a page, too often I need to rotate pages. Fortunately, there is a pretty awesome tool to do all of these tasks, it’s called PDFtk. # ⚓ FuckHub⠀⇛ To continue you must modify your browser settings to allow GitHub to use your location information. [...] One step closer to dropping the account. Unfortunately I still have to use it for work, and for a few repos I contribute to occasionally (Erlang, Elixir, IPFS, StandardEbooks, …). # ⚓ New_toy:_Tandy_DMP_132_(26-2814)_printer⠀⇛ Picked up a new toy from a local e-waste recycler: A Tandy DMP 132 (catalogue number 26-2814), Circa 1987. They let me have it after we plugged it up and determined that it doesn’t even idle properly; all of the status LEDs light up, but it should only have the power LED lit if all is well, perhaps the alert LED should blink if there’s no paper too. When I got home I popped it open and determined that it contains an NEC D7810HCW CPU with a 14.7 MHz clock crystal. I looked up the datasheet for the CPU and determined that it is normally clocked at 12 MHz, and contains 256 bytes [sic] of RAM and 4K of ROM. (note: ROM and RAM are both externally expandable, but Tandy definitely is using only the base amount of RAM on this printer) The CPU is a nominally 5 volt CPU, the onboard RAM fails to function if it dips down to 3.2 volts. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Google_Domains_migration_+_Web_frontend improvements⠀⇛ I recently logged into Google Domains to change some minor DNS setting and was greeted by this bullshit: “Google recently entered into an agreement for Squarespace, Inc. to acquire all domain name registrations from Google Domains, with the purchase subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions. If the transaction closes, you will become a Squarespace customer and, following a transition period, your customer and billing information, if applicable, will be transferred to Squarespace, at which point Squarespace’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service will apply.” I received no email or any other communication about this, so I was caught a bit off-guard… Squarespace is not a company I care to deal with at all. Consequently I have transferred the zcrayfish.soy domain to Hover (Tucows) as a registrar, and am using Linode as the DNS servers. It has been a bit over 24 hours since I made the change, but I have outrageously high TTL values set here, so it’s possible (though not very likely) that some breakage could occur. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Is this a privacy guru’s dream or is the government overstepping? Then we’re going to discuss some new competition for RHEL. Plus, we have our tips, tricks and software picks for you. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Links ☛ 6_Small_Free_and_Open_Source_Console_Menu Utilities⠀⇛ One of the great strengths of Linux is the whole raft of weird and wonderful open source utilities. That strength does not simply derive from the functionality they offer, but from the synergy generated by using them together, sometimes in conjunction with applications. The Unix philosophy spawned a “software tools” movement which focused on developing concise, basic, clear, modular and extensible code that can be used for other projects. This philosophy remains an important element for many Linux projects. Good open source developers writing utilities seek to make sure the utility does its job as well as possible, and work well with other utilities. The goal is that users have a handful of tools, each of which seeks to excel at one thing. Some utilities work well on their own. This article looks at six tiny utilities that offer menu facilities. They get virtually zero coverage in the Linux press, so you may not have heard of them before, but they are well crafted and might just fit the bill. Here’s our verdict on each tool captured in a legendary LinuxLinks’ ratings chart. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Network World ☛ Navigating_your_way_around_the_Linux_file system⠀⇛ One of the first things Linux users need to learn is how to move around the Linux file system and, eventually, how to make it even easier to move around the file system. This post describes both the basic commands you need and some smart moves to make navigating easier. # ⚓ Chris Coyier ☛ IndigoStack⠀⇛ I’ve always liked tools help me do DevOps-ish stuff but make it easy and have a UI. For example, I used MAMP back in the day because it ran (on my Mac) MySQL, Apache, and PHP, which was the stack for like every CMS. MAMP is still a thing, but I’ve happily moved on to Local because it’s WordPress- specific, which is what I need, and has worked quickly and near-flawlessly as long as I’ve used it. # ⚓ Ryan Mulligan ☛ Starting_Exploration_of_Scroll-driven Animations_in_CSS⠀⇛ CSS Scroll-driven Animations has recently made its debut on the main stage in the latest versions of Chrome and Edge. Before this module became available, linking an element’s animation to a scroll position was only possible through JavaScript. I’ve been (and still am) a huge fan of GSAP ScrollTrigger as one way to achieve such an effect. I never imagined it would become a reality in CSS, but this new API lets us hook right into CSS animation @keyframes and scrub through the animation progress as we scroll the page. # ⚓ Dan Langille ☛ Bacula_–_copying_the_latest_jobs_over_from one_SD_to_another⠀⇛ I want to copy the latest backups for each Bacula client over to a new host. I already do this, on an automated basis, for recent backups, primarily to have the same backups in two different places. In this case, I want to do this once. This post might also be a good introduction to copying / moving jobs based on SQL queries. See also Bacula – copy to tape by job size and Moving Bacula Volumes from one Storage to Another. # ⚓ [Old] SSH Communications Security Corporation ☛ How_SSH port_became_22⠀⇛ I wrote the initial version of SSH (Secure Shell) in Spring 1995. It was a time when telnet and FTP were widely used. Anyway, I designed SSH to replace both telnet (port 23) and ftp (port 21). Port 22 was free. It was conveniently between the ports for telnet and ftp. I figured having that port number might be one of those small things that would give some aura of credibility. But how could I get that port number? I had never allocated one, but I knew somebody who had allocated a port. The basic process for port allocation was fairly simple at that time. Internet was smaller and we were in the very early stages of the Internet boom. Port numbers were allocated by IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority). At the time, that meant an esteemed Internet pioneer called Jon Postel and Joyce K. Reynolds. Among other things, Jon had been the editor of such minor protocol standards as IP (RFC 791), ICMP (RFC 792), and TCP (RFC 793). Some of you may have heard of them. To me Jon felt outright scary, having authored all the main Internet RFCs! Anyway, just before announcing ssh-1.0 in July 1995, I sent this e-mail to IANA: [...] # ⚓ Chris Coyier ☛ How_do_I_save_links_for_later?⠀⇛ You’d think this would have a simple obvious answer, but in mulling it over recently, how I do this is actually a decent chunk of my internettin’ time and has an algorithm of sorts. When I’ve got a URL on my hands that I need to get back to, there are three broad buckets: [...] # ⚓ SANS ☛ Quick_Malware_Triage_With_Inotify_Tools⠀⇛ This suite of tools allow to you track changes on a file system. Via command line tools, you can get events when a file has been created, deleted, opened. I’m using a simple script on my malware zoo that receives notifcations everytime a file is created (which means I dropped a new sample). Then the script performs simple actions. By default: [...] # ⚓ Jim Nielsen ☛ Reloading_a_Document_(and_Preserving_Query String_Parameters)_Using_Only_HTML⠀⇛ Fortunately, Ryan Florence (who knows a lot about routing on the web) had the answer: use an href with an empty string. # ⚓ Linux Buzz ☛ Top_8_RDP_(Remote_Desktop)_Clients_for_Linux⠀⇛ Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) clients for Linux have revolutionized the way we access and control remote systems. Whether you’re a sysadmin managing servers, a developer working on remote projects, or simply seeking to connect to your home computer while on the go, the Linux ecosystem offers a variety of powerful RDP clients. # ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Proxmox_Series_#6:_Clones_and_Templates_of Virtual_Machines⠀⇛ Sometimes you encounter a situation where you have a VM configuration that you need to duplicate exactly. Maybe it’s to deploy servers, or maybe it’s for testing. # ⚓ Unix Men ☛ How_To_Go_To_Root_Directory_In_Linux:_A_Step_By Step_Guide⠀⇛ Linux distros are typically open-source operating systems and provide a powerful and flexible environment for both home and professional users. And one fundamental task every Linux user should know to perform is navigating to the root directory.  In Linux, the root directory is the uppermost directory in the system’s hierarchy. Understanding its role and learning to access it is essential for managing files, installing software, and performing administrative tasks.  # ⚓ Unix Men ☛ How_To_Create_Groups_in_Linux:_A_Step-by-Step Guide⠀⇛ Linux makes it easy to give users varied access levels and assign them specific responsibilities. All you have to do is create groups specifying the permissions you want to give the users and then put the users in the group.  But what exactly is a group in Linux? Are groups of different types? And how do you create them?  # ⚓ OSTechNix ☛ Containers_Vs_Virtual_Machines:_A_Detailed Comparison⠀⇛ Containers and Virtual Machines are both Virtualization technologies that can be used to deploy and manage applications. However, they have different strengths and weaknesses, and the best choice for a particular application will depend on a number of factors. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Dwarf_Fortress_gets_a_Linux_Beta_on_Steam⠀⇛ Ready to dig deep? Dwarf Fortress now has a Linux Beta available on Steam, so you can get testing and see what all the fuss is about with this new version. While it was already playable with Proton, we knew for a while that Bay 12 Games planned Native Linux support as well. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ GE-Proton_8-13_and_8-12_released,_FSR_no longer_default_and_many_game_fixes⠀⇛ The community maintained GE-Proton has two new releases available, so here’s what’s changed and improved with the latest versions. This is the version of Proton not supported by Valve, so it may have issues at times the official Proton does not. However, it also at times pulls in fixes a bit quicker and can do things sometimes that Valve cannot do. To sum up: use it if you need it for specific games, otherwise sticking with the official Proton is the best idea. More about Proton can be found in my Proton beginner’s guide. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ 5_years_ago_Valve_released_Proton_forever changing_Linux_gaming⠀⇛ Has it really been that long? Apparently so. Valve originally announced their rebranding of Steam Play with Proton back on August 21st, 2018. Seems like a good time for a quick reflection being halfway to a decade old now. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Open-world_colony-building_survival_game ‘Necesse’_gets_a_HUGE_expansion⠀⇛ Necesse is a very interesting genre-blending game that mixes in colony-building, adventuring, sandbox survival and a whole lot more. With the latest free update, it’s also become a lot bigger. Currently in Early Access it has gained quite a following too with a Very Positive user review score so clearly they’re onto something good here. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ The_‘Into_Games_Bundle’_from_Fanatical helps_get_people_into_game_development⠀⇛ Fanatical has a new charity Into Games Bundle live, with a fun selection of games and with all proceeds going towards the UK’s leading national non-profit for skills and careers in games. Seems like quite an interesting choice to help fund, while also getting something back. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # ⚓ [Repeat] Ruben Schade ☛ Getting_back_into_GUI_development⠀⇛ I’ve already written a basic data model and set of triggers in SQLite, so now comes the tricky thing of evaluating what graphical toolkit and language to use. The three canidates are Perl with Prima, PyQt, and Lazarus. I need to learn Python for work, so I figure that would be a two birds with one stone thing. Lazarus on the other hand offers a rapid prototyping environment for Object Pascal, which would be pretty great. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Packaging_software_is_something_that takes_work⠀⇛ Part of the work of packaging software is in identifying and collecting all of its dependencies, in the right version, and making sure that the versions are all coherent with the rest of the system. Some of it is in testing the resulting whole system. A certain amount of it is in making a particular piece of software conform to the standards you’ve set up for a particular environment or distribution; for example, Debian has a specific scheme for how Apache is configured, and the general idea is used by Debian for a bunch of other software. Sometimes you fix bugs or pull in as yet unreleased changes. o § Reviews⠀➾ # ⚓ DebugPoint ☛ Bodhi_Linux_7.0_Review:_A_Symphony_of Performance_and_Elegance⠀⇛ The much anticipated Bodhi Linux 7.0 is released after a long development cycle. This release promises a wonderful desktop experience and is made possible by a small team of developers, including support from the community. Let’s have a deep dive into this release while highlighting the features. o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ John Grafton ☛ Managing_a_Static_Website_(Hugo)_with Ansible_and_OpenBSD⠀⇛ Until a few weeks later when I decided to upload a new blog post. Unfortunately, I had made the process too complex for my aging brain to easily recover from long term storage. I found I had installed multiple jails on the FreeBSD host system to perform various tasks. One for the hugo installation, another for the webserver, and another for a purpose that I completely forget offhand. At the time of building the system all of the jails seemed important (this is StockholmKubernetes syndrome at work). Thus, in a fit of pique with past John I decided to simplify my life and migrate away from a containerized system and to a simple webhost. So I installed OpenBSD on a Vultr VPS, setup httpd with SSL and migrated jrgsystems to it. o § PCLinuxOS/Mageia/Mandriva/OpenMandriva Family⠀➾ # ⚓ ZDNet ☛ PCLinuxOS_used_to_be_great_for_Linux_newbies,_but not_anymore⠀⇛ Let’s pretend we have a time machine and set the 5th-dimensional time coordinates back ten years. Once we arrived in that simpler period, ask me my top five Linux distributions for new users and you can bet I would have included PCLinuxOS in the mix. That’s because, at the time, this particular open- source operating system was ahead of its time and offered a platform that any user could adopt without too much trouble. Hop back in that time machine and return to the here and now and you’ll see that OS is no longer on the list of best Linux distributions for new users. Why? What happened? o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Computer Weekly ☛ Red_Hat_CEO_on_AI_moves_and_source_code kerfuffle_|_Computer_Weekly⠀⇛ Matt Hicks talks up Red Hat’s efforts to support generative AI adoption through OpenShift AI and weighs in on the issues surrounding the company’s decision to limit access to RHEL source code. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_Mainframe_Computer_For_The_Modern_Age⠀⇛ The era of mainframe computers and directly programming machines with switches is long past, but plenty of us look back on that era with a certain nostalgia. Getting that close to the hardware and knowing precisely what’s going on is becoming a little bit of a lost art. That’s why [Phil] took it upon himself to build this homage to the mainframe computer of the 70s, which all but disappeared when PCs and microcontrollers took over the scene decades ago. * § Debian Family⠀➾ o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Looking_Back_On_30_Years_of_Debian⠀⇛ The early history of Linux is a rather murky period to most, long before the era of glitzy marketing and proclamations of ‘the Linux desktop’ being the next hot thing. This was also the era when the first Linux distributions were born, as the Linux kernel never came as a whole OS package – unlike the BSDs – which necessitated others to package it with the elements that make up kernel and user space, such as the GNU tools. One of these original distributions was Debian, which this month celebrates its 30th birthday. Its entire history, starting with the initial 0.01 release is covered in great detail on the Debian website. After the first release of the Linux kernel in 1991, it would take until August of 1993 when [Ian Murdock] embarked on the Debian project, sponsored by the GNU Project of the Free Software Foundation. This was a pretty rough period, with much of 1994 spent figuring out the basics of the system, the package manager and establishing a release system. * § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ o ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Bodhi_Linux_7.0_Released_with_New_Theme_&_Linux Kernels⠀⇛ Bodhi Linux 7.0 is based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and uses the Enlightenment-based desktop and Moksha window manager by default. The distro is notable for running deftly on devices with limited resources (though there’s no reason you can’t or shouldn’t run it on high-end devices too). I took a look at the Bodhi Linux 7.0 beta back in May and liked what I saw. Since then the distro’s devs have updated the s76 ISO to use Linux kernel 6.4 and the HWE ISO to use Linux kernel 6.2, brought in a yet-newer version of slick-greeter, and continued fixing up bugs and adding polish. * § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Tiny_solder-down_NXP_i.MX_93_System-on-Module powers_credit_card-sized_evaluation_board⠀⇛ Ka-Ro Electronics’ QS93 is a tiny solder-down NXP i.MX 93 System-on-Module (SoM) running Linux and designed for edge processing. The company also offers a credit card- sized evaluation board that may remind some of the Raspberry Pi with its GPIO header and general layout, but it comes with two Fast Ethernet ports and one USB 2.0 port. We’ve already covered several system-on-modules based on the NXP i.MX 93 Cortex-A55/M33 AI processor including some with high-density board-to-board connectors such as the Compulab UCM-IMX93 and Forlinx FET-MX9352-C, others with a SO-DIMM connector like the VAR-SOM-MX93, and finally some designed to be soldered on the carrier board such as the OSM-L compatible iW-RainboW-G50M, and the QS93 adds to the latter category in a tiny 27×27 mm form factor. o ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Getting_started_with_VOIPAC_IMX8M_Industrial development_kit_(Yocto_Linux_SDK)⠀⇛ Last month I went through an unboxing of the VOIPAC iMX8M Industrial Development Kit with some specs and a quick try with the pre-loaded Yocto 3.1 Linux image. The kit is quite versatile with plenty of interfaces and headers, and eventually, it will support Android 12 and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. but in the meantime, I played a bit with the Yocto Linux SDK for the NXP i.MX 8M board and will report by experience getting started with VOIPAC IMX8M Industrial development kit. But before checking out Yocto Linux, I will install the two WiFi antennas since I did not do it last time around. We can attach the SMA connectors to the two metal plates on the side of the board securing them with the provided nuts and spacers. * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ 10_amazing_upcycling_projects⠀⇛ Old tech will always be cool. A mix of nostalgia and forgotten design concepts will forever make something appealing to the right person. Sometimes though, the technology behind them can be hard to keep using – this is where our favourite tiny computer comes in to modernise. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Where_Did_Your_PCB_Go_Wrong?_KiRI_Knows⠀⇛ When working on a PCB design in KiCad, it’s helpful that the files are all text and can easily be checked into Git or other source control. However, stepping back through the revisions to determine where precisely a trace got routed wrong can be tricky. [Leandro] started with a simple script that exported the KiCad project to an image for inspection — over time it grew into a full-blown visual diff tool named KiCad Revision Inspector (KiRI). * § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ o ⚓ Blackview_Tab_8_Android_tablet_review_–_The_Gadgeteer⠀⇛ o ⚓ India Times ☛ Google:_Google_is_making_it_harder_for_Android users_to_install_apps_–_Times_of_India⠀⇛ o ⚓ Android Authority ☛ Xiaomi_matches_Samsung’s_industry-leading Android_updates_policy⠀⇛ o ⚓ Hindustan Times ☛ Google’s_eSIM_transfer_tool_for_Android smartphones_revealed_|_Tech_News⠀⇛ o ⚓ Top_6_Ways_to_Fix_Contacts_Search_Not_Working_on_Android_– Guiding_Tech⠀⇛ o ⚓ India Today ☛ OnePlus_letting_some_Nord_3_users_in_India_test Android_14_based_OxygenOS_14:_How_to_apply_–_India_Today⠀⇛ o ⚓ Pocket Lint ☛ How_to_transfer_Android_to_Android:_Move_phone easily⠀⇛ * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ # § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ DaemonFC (Ryan Farmer) ☛ Mozilla_Firefox_Loses_16 Million_More_Active_Monthly_Users_Between_August_15 2022-2023.⠀⇛ Yes, over 77 million users lost in 4 years and 7 months. If you average out the loss over this period, then they’ve lost about 1.4 million Firefox users per month, give or take a couple thousand. Per day, that means that over 46,300 people slam Firefox shut and never open it again. o § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ # ⚓ Data Swamp ☛ Migrating_prosody_internal_storage_to_SQLite on_OpenBSD⠀⇛ As some may know, I’m an XMPP user, an instant messaging protocol which used to be known as Jabber. My server is running Prosody XMPP server on OpenBSD. Recently, I got more users on my server, and I wanted to improve performance a bit by switching from the internal storage to SQLite. Actually, prosody comes with a tool to switch from a storage to another, but I found the documentation lacking and on OpenBSD the migration tool isn’t packaged (yet?). The switch to SQLite drastically reduced prosody CPU usage on my small server, and went pain free. o § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ # ⚓ It’s FOSS ☛ LibreOffice_7.6_Releases_With_Document_Themes, Navigation_Panel_for_Slides,_and_More⠀⇛ LibreOffice 7.6 is the next major upgrade for the open-source office suite. With its previous LibreOffice 7.5 release, the developers unveiled new app icons and feature upgrades. And, this time, it includes a good set of new abilities. Let us take a look at what’s new with the release. # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ LibreOffice_releases_new_versions_for_Windows, macOS_and_Linux⠀⇛ A statement from The Document Foundation, the body that oversees the project, said there were versions for Windows (Intel/AMD and ARM processors), macOS (Apple and Intel processors), and Linux. This release is the last to use traditional version numbering: first digit for release cycle, second digit for major release. From next year, TDF will adopt calendar-based release numbering: the next major release will be LibreOffice 2024.02 in February 2024. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Nicholas Tietz-Sokolsky ☛ The_phrase_“good_enough”_isn’t fit_for_purpose⠀⇛ Instead of things that are good enough, I’d rather we make things that are fit for purpose. The phrase “fit for purpose” doesn’t carry the connotation of cutting corners, but of actively considering what is needed and ensuring that that’s present. Whatever you’re describing has what it needs to do the job. # ⚓ Chris ☛ Reducing_Measurement_Error⠀⇛ What did they do in the 1600s? They wrote down everything about the circumstances in which the observations were made, like atmospheric conditions, status of the telescope and other equipment, times, climate, weather – I wouldn’t be surprised if they recorded what the astronomer had eaten and how much they had slept – and then they asked an expert to judge, based on the circumstances, which observation was best. And they used that single observation. It makes complete sense – they knew what the problem of measurement error was, and they tried to reduce it by picking the least erroneous observation. Absolutely the right intention, but they just didn’t have the technology we do now: an understanding of statistics and how numbers behave in aggregate. o § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ # ⚓ ABC ☛ John_Warnock,_who_helped_invent_the_PDF_and_co- founded_Adobe_Systems,_dies_at_age_82⠀⇛ Warnock worked for Xerox before he and colleague Charles Geschke created a company around a rejected idea in 1982. Nearly a decade later, Warnock outlined an early version of the Portable Document Format, or PDF, transforming the way documents are exchanged. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 5721 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 08.22.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Gemini_Links_22/08/2023:_Public_Transport_Protest_and_Palm_PDA_Collections⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 12:04 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal/Opinions o Politics_and_World_Events o Technology_and_Free_Software * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ 🔤SpellBinding:_DFNOPRU_Wordo:_OKAYS⠀⇛ # ⚓ Wasting_time⠀⇛ I am fairly anal about punctuality. This borders upon paranoia when it comes to travel days. The idea of delaying my arrival home or to the city / town I am to work in is extremely distasteful. This morning I awoke in Decatur, Illinois, I have a 0930 flight out of STL (St. Louis, Missouri). Planning to arrive two hours early at the airport (0730), plus 2hr 15min of driving to the airport meant a 0515 hit the road time, a 0415 wakeup. # ⚓ Lubbock⠀⇛ I do not really enjoy Texas. I lived in this state for 18 years, moving away when I was in my late twenties. It is hot in the summer. Traffic can be a real mess. Highway interchanges are stupidly designed as large as they possibly can be. The one saving grace of Texas is Whataburger. I only eat one real meal a day now. Tonight, it was a number 1, plain and dry, sandwich only, and spicy ketchup to go with it. I had a coke zero along with it. Brings me back to being a kid, every single time. o § Politics and World Events⠀➾ # ⚓ Public_Transport_Protest⠀⇛ So, the light rail has started operating in Tel Aviv, the Israeli Big Apple. Some activists who want the train to be available of Sabbath have handuffed themselves inside the train for more than two hours. I’ve read somewhere that they had been handcuffed even for 3 or 4 hours. Wow! Don’t they have to go to the toilet? o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ a_prequel_post⠀⇛ I was poking at stuff a while ago and never got around to writing it down in a blog post. UNTIL NOW. I was playing with the veilid-cli and was trying to figure out what I could get it to do. reading the help in the built-in command line thing, I was able to get a DHT Key set to some value. first thing to get a bit of data put into the DHT is to do record create # ⚓ Scratch_mojo⠀⇛ I essentially started RPoD over from scratch when I replaced the Raspberry Pi with a ThinkCentre. This was a change in architecture, a change in gopher server software, and a combining of multiple servers into one machine. A lot of scripts got broken. This included my atom feeds and my main phlog handling script (handles git, calls the atom scripts, scps things around, builds gophermap/ index.gmi, etc.) and quite a few other things as well. # ⚓ New_palm_device_in_my_collection⠀⇛ Happy to receive a Palm Tungsten T3 today, such a cool little device which has a slide-out screen and sports bluetooth, sd card and an audio jack. Bluetooth should come in handy to set up an internet connection. Originally sold for about €400, now mine for only €8. # ⚓ Moving_from_Gnome_to_Sway⠀⇛ I’m not going to start this off with some indictment of GNOME or talk about how it’s a shit desktop environment. It isn’t. I’ve been using GNOME for 4 years and the whole time for my use case it’s been perfect. I use the 13in framework[1] laptop with wayland to improve stuttering, I started with Pop! OS and switched to openSUSE a few months back. I loved the pop-shell tiling extension, so kept using it (as it is available in the tumbleweed package manager) until it was broken in gnome 44. I found a workaround, and then it was re-broken in 44.1, so I figured it was time to look for alternatives. I got pop-shell running to a decent degree (swapping over gradually), but am not confident it will continue to be updated, as System76 is moving to their rust-based COSMIC[2] Desktop environment. So with that in mind, I cracked my knuckles and installed sway. OpenSUSE actually has its own config for sway called openSUSEway[3] that made the switch much easier. I would recommend trying it in a VM if you want to see what a full sway setup would look like with essentially default configs. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

If you’re suffering from a shortage of large USB sticks, the Ubuntu mini ISO takes up only around 100MB. Here’s how to get the Mini ISO and use it to install Ubuntu. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ Budgie_10.8_Released:_Here’s_What_Has_Changed_and What_Is_New⠀⇛ There is a beginning-of-the-week treat in store for Budgie users. This morning Joshua Strobl, founder and project lead at Buddies of Budgie, the organization behind the popular Linux desktop environment, announced the release of Budgie 10.8 as the successor to version 10.7, which was released seven months ago. Although Budgie is built using many components of the Gnome desktop, it’s largely considered to be “scratch made” and not a Gnome derivative. It was initially developed to be the default DE for Solus Linux, but soon after its release other distros began offing it as an option. In November 2016, an unofficial Ubuntu remix centered on Budgie was officially recognized as an official Ubuntu flavor under the name Ubuntu Budgie. o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ How_to_Choose_the_Best_Linux_Distro_for_Programming and_Development⠀⇛ At one time, it was common to hear Linux described as an operating system for developers. It wasn’t recommended for the casual or non-technical user. You had to be at least partially code-savvy to even use Linux. That may have been true for Linux in its very early days, but that hasn’t been the case for a long time. Distributions Like Ubuntu, Pop!_OS, and Linux Mint have smoothed the path for newcomers to the Linux world. Of course, the developers are still here on Linux too, because Linux is such a great platform to develop on. With Linux, you get privacy, stability, and performance. You have access to all the development tools you need, and for free. You have a choice of flexible scripting languages in the terminal window, allowing you to automate build processes, testing, and more. If the distribution you’re using doesn’t have a particular tool installed by default, it’s usually just a case of firing up your package manager and installing it. All the parts of your tool chain are no more than a single command away. Linux supports containerization too, through solutions like Docker and Vagrant, and container management systems such as Kubernetes. These make it simple and fast to spin up and manage isolated environments that use far fewer resources than classic virtual machines. o § New Releases⠀➾ # ⚓ TrueNAS ☛ TrueNAS_SCALE_Cobia_Has_Reached_BETA_–_TrueNAS_– Welcome_to_the_Open_Storage_Era⠀⇛ The next chapter of TrueNAS SCALE has begun. TrueNAS SCALE already has the ability to scale up (with HA) and scale out and provides the ability to run containerized Apps directly on the storage system. Apps have been steadily improving with each new release of SCALE. More improvements are scheduled for the next TrueNAS SCALE release — codenamed “Cobia” — in Q4 of this year. Today, we announce the availability of TrueNAS SCALE 23.10 BETA, aka Cobia BETA. Bluefin (22.12) has been a very successful release and has grown the SCALE user base to about 70,000 systems in less than 18 months. The quality of Bluefin keeps increasing with community testing and has reached General Availability (GA) status, with iXsystems shipping nearly all platforms with Bluefin or TrueNAS 13.0. Our goal has been to give users the freedom to choose their path. Cobia (23.10) is the alphabetic and chronological successor to Bluefin (22.12). It is also the first release designed to enable the sidegrade from TrueNAS 13.0 HA systems. Cobia has been through two Alpha stages with the development community and has reached the point where Community testers can begin to explore what is new. It will not be ready for production until Q4, as the 23.10 name (yy.mm of target release date) indicates. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ 2023-08-15_[Older]_How_to_use_Red_Hat OpenShift_GitOps_with_the_Argo_CD_Vault_Plugin_as_a_sidecar⠀⇛ o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Release_Notes_2023.1.0_‘Standing_on_the_Shoulders_of Giants’_–_siduction_Linux⠀⇛ The siduction team is very proud to present an unscheduled release for a special occasion. Debian GNU/Linux, whose unstable branch some of us have been following for over 20 years, celebrates its 30. Birthday on 8/16/2023 and we think that is worthy of all honor. Debian is the second oldest distribution after Slackware, and is solely supported by the people involved, without a company standing in the background or someone at the top deciding where things go. Debian is considered the “universal operating system” because of the many architectures supported to this day, and the stability of their releases is legendary. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ 9to5Google ☛ Android_Runtime_(ART)_update_led_to_apps starting_30%_faster⠀⇛ # ⚓ Bennett, Coleman & Company Ltd ☛ Green_Dot_on_Your Android?_Here’s_Why_It_Matters_and_How_to_Take_Control_| Technology_–_Science_News,_Times_Now⠀⇛ # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ OneNote_for_Android_Goes_Beyond_Basic Notetaking_in_New_Update⠀⇛ # ⚓ XDA ☛ Samsung_Android_14_Tracker:_Here_are_all_the_official One_UI_6_beta_builds_to_download_and_install⠀⇛ # ⚓ 9to5Google ☛ Samsung_upgrades_Chromecast_screen_mirroring in_Android_14⠀⇛ # ⚓ Gizmo China ☛ How_to_install_the_Google_Play_Store_on_any Android_device⠀⇛ # ⚓ Gadget Bridge ☛ How_to_get_all_the_new_emojis_on_your Android_smartphone?⠀⇛ # ⚓ Giz China ☛ How_to_Improve_the_Performance_of_Your_Android Smartphone⠀⇛ # ⚓ 9to5Google ☛ Google_Maps_now_shows_charging_stations_to Android_Auto_EVs⠀⇛ # ⚓ SlashGear ☛ 5_Android_Auto_Voice_Commands_You_Should_Be Using⠀⇛ * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ LibreOffice_7.6_Community_released_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ The Document Foundation has announced the release of LibreOffice 7.6 Community. It is the last release using the existing numbering scheme as the office suite will move to date-based release numbers starting with LibreOffice 24.2 in February, 2024.

We have also engaged with the appropriate law enforcement authorities,” says Shannon Wall, SRHS Chief Marketing Officer.

He had been going downhill in the last year and COVID didn’t do him any favors. He had a number of heart attacks over the decades including a quadruple bypass that he outlived the repair and had to have it done again. But, knowing it was happening and having it happen are sometimes two different things. For some of us more than others. [...] In the end, he made sure we knew that he loved talking to my children and that he was proud of us. He was apologetic for dying in the same year as our mother and was struggling to make sure my brother knew the password to his BitWarden before he passed. My dad is the inspiration for my exit planning[4]. He was one of the most well-organized people I knew, even when it came to planning out his death. He had his paperwork gather together, his notes distributed and an archived drive with (almost) everything we needed. # ⚓ A_Farewell_to_Leaderboards⠀⇛ Some…things…came up today, the result of which was that I ended up making my Duolingo profile private. This has a couple of effects: it stops you from having friends in-app; and, it turns off the leaderboard. I was sad for the former, though in my group chat, my Duo friends totally understood the reason: unwanted attention. But turning off rankings and leaderboards? Holy hell. That was amazing. This app is for learning again. # ⚓ Work_From_Home:_Pros_and_Cons⠀⇛ # ⚓ WILDER,_an_indie_magazine_about_nature_(in_Portuguese)⠀⇛ A couple of weeks ago I found this Portuguese[^0] indie magazine about nature called WILDER… and boy it’s pretty fucking good! They publish around two articles per day, about news or scientific studies. There’s a section titled “Que espécie é esta?” (“What species is this?”) where readers send observations of their own, and specialists collaborating with the magazine try to determine the species (on a best effort basis) — it’s pretty cool to learn of so many different life forms living around here. And for some weeks now there’s been a running series of interviews of those specialists, titled “Embaixadores por Natureza” (“Ambassadors for Nature”). o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ more_pokes⠀⇛ I was looking for anything that might hint at what went wrong in the commits. I first found a closed issue about windows computers not being able to connect to the bootstrap. # ⚓ poking_at_the_thing⠀⇛ woke up this morning, booted my computer, and saw veilid-server had been failing to bootstrap. so, ofc I bother someone on the internet with the problem before I actually look into it and get the “did you update it?” response. ofc I had not. I do that. and it still does the thing from before the update, and this is where I started poking. I found that the bootstrap server is bootstrap.veilid.net. appropriate enough. I dig the domain for the A and AAAA records, and ping to make sure they are all pingable. # ⚓ Terminal_Metronome⠀⇛ So today I sat down to practice guitar and I realized that I left both my metronomes at my sister’s room. Obviously I wasn’t going to get up to go and fetch one, so I picked up a bash spell tome (man SoX) and with a little bash magic, made a basic metronome. # ⚓ Migrating_prosody_internal_storage_to_SQLite_on_OpenBSD⠀⇛ As some may know, I’m an XMPP user, an instant messaging protocol which used to be known as Jabber. My server is running Prosody XMPP server on OpenBSD. Recently, I got more users on my server, and I wanted to improve performance a bit by switching from the internal storage to SQLite. Actually, prosody comes with a tool to switch from a storage to another, but I found the documentation lacking and on OpenBSD the migration tool isn’t packaged (yet?). # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Hello!⠀⇛ I’m Day. I stumbled upon Geminispace somehow last week, and thought this would be a good place to get to know everyone 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇:)⦈ I’m probably going to be treating my profile page? site? as a sandbox for playing with Gemtext, and figuring out how to make fun stuff within the constraints of Gemini, so I might not make too many posts of my own. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software. It’s like the World Wide Web but a lot lighter. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 6926 ➮ Generation completed at 02:57, i.e. 126 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
