reaffirms the notorious_stigma associated with a Code_of_Censorship; it’s mostly intended to guard the powerful companies (the_enforcers_and/or_judges), in effect shielding them and their technical decisions/work from criticism The latest: 3_weeks_down_the_line it seems like Red Hat’s (or Fedora’s) people are basically immune to or protected from the CoC. It seems like they’ve hidden (marked as “private”) the complaint about an abusive #fedora moderator and have not done anything. Protected by IBM: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Khaytsus⦈_ “They’re crazy. You hear me? You’re all fucking crazy!

System76 Ditches UEFI Firmware Trash, Ships_Coreboot_Firmware_on_Linux_Laptops. I noticed today while looking around, that System76 has gotten_rid_of_the_UEFI trash on most of their products. UEF is designed_heavily_around_Windows and is full_of_bugs (here’s the list of them on my Lenovo ThinkBook 15 ITL Gen2) and promotes Microsoft’s lock-in, Security_Theater_Boot. I’ve had nothing but problems out of UEFI and even_had to_take_legal_action_against_Lenovo for abusing the customers and violating American laws with it. Coreboot is the firmware that people deserve to have. “Coreboot is the firmware that people deserve to have.”It’s actually designed to “Just boot the computer and get the Hell out of there.”, which is what Linus Torvalds said he missed about “PC BIOS”. It’s up to the user, really, what they want to run and so I congratulate System76 for taking strong and decisive action on behalf of their customers and recommend that people who need an x86 PC with Linux take their business to System76 as I will do next time I need a laptop. Good behavior deserves to be rewarded! UEFI is so bad that it should never have been released. Lenovo should be ashamed of shipping this garbage on their computers. Many times it doesn’t even work right on Windows. They’re constantly patching it, and sometimes when you apply the patch it screws up Windows and your bootloader isn’t recognized, or “Bitlocker” won’t let you in unless you know your recovery key. It’s even worse than the worst “Legacy BIOS” implementation I had ever encountered on dozens of PCs I owned over the years that it was shipped. “You can pretty much expect ACPI issues and potentially dead hardware with UEFI, just from the operating system using its documented interfaces.”The very worst problem I ever encountered on “Legacy BIOS” was an ACPI problem, but at least the computer worked and I raised Hell with the vendor and it got fixed. You can pretty much expect ACPI issues and potentially dead hardware with UEFI, just from the operating system using its documented interfaces. A system firmware that is well-designed should never risk being “bricked” because you loaded an OS. UEFI implementations were poorly designed and went out without any testing. Lots of the worst BIOS code (ACPI) was lifted straight out of Legacy BIOS, and then they went and created new disasters. More than 10 years later, UEFI has only barely gotten better, in general. In some ways, worse. (Depending on hardware vendor.) Malware “in the boot path” is not an actual problem Linux users are having. Even on the Windows side, Microsoft mostly threw “Secure Boot” in because people were using programs running before Windows started to trick the Product Activator. But those aren’t “malware”. They’re illegal, sure. (At least in the US.) Also, why would you even run Windows for free? Eww. But they are not threatening the user. “Now that we have affordable alternatives to UEFI, even on the PC, don’t buy UEFI!”The only sane thing to do about UEFI “Secure Boot” is turn it off and just use the computer, but that’s in no way guaranteed to work forever. Microsoft could change the Windows license program and remove the part about the user being allowed to turn it off, and they probably will at some point. After Ubuntu screwed me on the “Boothole” patch by incompetently updating the “dbx” ahead of other Linux vendors, rendering me unable to boot into Fedora, I reset Secure Boot on the Yoga and then turned it off. I’ve never used “Secure Boot On” on the ThinkBook since removing Windows. It doesn’t provide any actual security, it’s just one more thing in the way of running your PC the way you want. And your OS vendor shouldn’t have to buy a “hall pass” from Microsoft, which is basically the way “Secure Boot” works on Linux now. The way Lenovo ships their laptops, the only way to control Secure Boot is turn it on or off. That’s pretty much it. If they let you have any control over it, it defies being documented (on purpose). Even Theo de Raadt, the person behind OpenBSD rolls his eyes at “Secure Boot”. It’s better to just buy a firmware that doesn’t_do_this_to_you as it certainly doesn’t solve any actual problem Linux users have. Now that we have affordable alternatives to UEFI, even on the PC, don’t buy UEFI! Not only is UEFI system firmware code objectively horrific now, unless we want to live in a future where Microsoft controls the PC, we should support computer makers that provide us with alternatives where Free Software will continue to be allowed. Otherwise, we will eventually run out of time and Microsoft will disallow operating system choice from the moment you press the power button. █ EFI is this other Intel brain-damage (the first one being ACPI). It’s totally different from a normal BIOS, and was brought on by ia64, which never had a BIOS, of course. […] Sadly, EFI people (a) think that their stinking mess is better than a BIOS and (b) are historically ia64-only, so they didn’t do that, but went the “we’ll just duplicate everything using our inferior EFI interfaces” way. –Linus_Torvalds (before UEFI made it to PCs in an even worse state than it was in on ia64 and Macs) ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 853 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2023/09/04/gnu-linux-already-flirts-with-10-market/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2023/09/04/gnu-linux-already-flirts-with-10-market/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 09.04.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ In_North_America,_GNU/Linux_Already_Flirts_With_10%_Market_Share_(Desktops/ Laptops)⠀✐ Posted in America, GNU/Linux at 10:51 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz What a difference 12 years make: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇%_market_share,_north_America,_for_ChromeOS_and_GNU/Linux⦈_ Summary: In North America, as per this_month’s_data_from_statCounter (original source), ChromeOS and GNU/Linux make up about 10% of the market share for desktops and laptops ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢿⢛⣻⢻⢻⢿⢻⣻⠛⢛⡟⣟⠛⣿⣟⣟⠟⣛⢛⣿⢻⢛⣻⢻⣻⢟⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣾⣿⣾⣾⣿⣾⣾⣶⣾⣷⣿⣶⣾⣿⣷⣷⣷⣾⣷⣷⣾⣿⣾⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢸⢿⡇⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⢿⠋⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⢸⡇⣿ ⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⡇⢸⠀⣭⣿⡟⣿⠃⢨⠈⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⣿⡇⢸⠀⣿⣿⡇⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠹⣿⣿⡿⣿⠀⠀⣿⠃⢸⠀⣿⣿⡇⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⡇⣿⠀⠀⣿⠀⢸⠀⣿⣿⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢿⣿⡇⣿⠀⠀⣿⠀⢸⠀⣿⢹⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⡇⣿⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⣿⢸⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⡏⡇⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⠀⣿⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⣿⢸⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠃⢰⣿⣷⢰⠀⡆⣿⢷⡇⠀⣾⢿⢰⣷⠀⢸⡟⠀⣷⠀⠀⡆⠀⢰⠀⣶⢰⠀⡆⠀⢰⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⡏⡇⠀⢸⡿⢹⢸⠀⡇⡟⢸⡇⠀⣿⢸⢸⣿⠀⢸⡇⠀⣿⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⣿⢸⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⣿⢸⢿⡏⠁⣿⠿⠃⡇⠀⢸⡇⢸⢸⠀⡇⡇⢸⡇⠀⣿⠀⢸⣿⠀⢸⡇⠀⣿⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⣿⢸⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⡇⠟⣻⠉⠀⣟⠀⢘⡃⠀⣛⠀⠀⡃⠀⠈⠁⠈⠈⠀⠁⠁⠈⠁⠀⠉⠀⠈⠉⠀⠈⠁⠀⠉⠀⠀⠁⠀⠈⠀⠉⠈⠀⠁⠀⢘⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠈⣿⡏⢸⡇⠀⣿⠀⠀⣿⠀⢸⡇⠀⣿⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⣿⠟⠿⡟⠟⣿⡟⢻⢹⠀⣿⡇⢸⡇⠀⣿⠀⠀⣿⠀⢸⡇⠀⣿⠀⠀⡇⠀⢠⡀⢀⢀⠀⡀⡀⢀⡀⠀⣀⠀⢀⣀⠀⢀⡀⠀⣀⠀⠀⡀⠀⢀⠀⣀⢀⠀⡀⠀⢸⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⠀⠀⡇⠀⣿⡇⢸⢸⠀⣿⡇⢸⡇⠀⣿⠀⠀⣿⠀⢸⡇⠀⣿⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⡇⢸⢸⠀⡇⡇⢸⡇⠀⣿⠀⢸⣿⠀⢸⡇⠀⣿⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⣿⢸⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⡿⡻⡻⢚⠟⡻⡻⡻⢛⠟⣻⡟⣻⢻⠟⠻⡟⡻⢻⠟⡻⡟⡻⢻⠟⢻⡞⡻⢳⠟⢻⡟⣻⢻⠟⢻⡟⡻⢻⠟⣻⡟⡻⢻⠟⢻⡟⡻⢻⢟⢻⠟⡻⢻⢟⢻⠟⡻⢻⢿⢛⡞⡻⢻⣿⢛⠟⡻⢻⢿⢻⡟⡻⠛⣿⢛⣿ ⣿⣡⣮⣴⣕⣾⣡⣮⣴⣕⣼⣡⣮⣴⣍⣵⣡⣮⣴⣅⣵⣡⣮⣶⣍⣽⣡⣮⣴⣍⣼⣡⣮⣴⣍⣼⣥⣮⣦⣍⣴⣡⣮⣾⣍⣽⣡⣮⣢⣏⣴⣥⣮⣢⣏⣴⣥⣮⣢⣏⣴⣥⣮⣨⣎⣴⣥⣮⣪⣏⣴⣥⣮⣠⣏⣴⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 908 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2023/09/04/immutable-operating-systems-security/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2023/09/04/immutable-operating-systems-security/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 09.04.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Immutable_Operating_Systems_Do_Not_Really_Enhance_Security⠀✐ Posted in GNU/Linux, Red_Hat at 12:20 am by Guest Editorial Team Reprinted with permission from Ryan_Farmer. Immutable Operating Systems Won’t Make Your Data Secure. (But they will annoy you.) Immutable operating systems seem to be what all of the “cool kids” are talking about lately, but what are they? Essentially, an example of the concept is Fedora Silverblue. The file system root is mounted read-only, and operating systems become a “giant image” where the thousands of packages brought to you now through your distribution in a native packaging format such as RPM or DEB packages, are replaced with a modified packaging tool like “rpm-ostree”. The issues brought about by this sort of a change are that the user can’t hold back particular updates, install only critical security updates (like Fedora users today can with dnf update –security), or update a few packages that need to go in right now, like a new Web browser, and keep everything else back for a while, or selectively back out a kernel that’s doing something odd until later on, but keep all the other updates. Updates using rpm-ostree are transactional, in that they either fully succeed or entirely fail, but that doesn’t guarantee you have a perfectly functional system. It only means that the packages installed successfully. I can’t remember in decades of mostly using RPM distributions, when an RPM last jammed up and wouldn’t go in. With rpm-ostree on Silverblue, you can still get buggy components, and the only thing you can really do to revert them is roll back the entire OS image, complete with other updates, which may be for security issues. Needless to say, this is not a long-term solution any more than holding back a kernel, but now it covers your entire operating system! Fedora has so much update churn, that if you use a system like this, then to put any updates into actual effect, you will be constantly interrupting your computer to reboot. rpm-ostree supports “package overlays”, so yes, you can install RPMs and even RPM repositories, and the new packages get overlaid onto the image of the OS in the “RPM layer”, however, every time you install a package this way, you will need to reboot. Red Hat’s answer to this is “You’re supposed to be using Flatpaks.”, which at this point, are not really fully available from Fedora Flatpaks, and not actually ultimately trustworthy as an authoritative source of software from Flathub. Fedora has a feature proposal coming that will provide the user with full access to an “Unfiltered Flathub”, and they are dropping support for some RPMs, like LibreOffice, entirely. So it seems to me like they’re gearing up to force everyone to nuke their Workstation install and go “Atomic Workstation” (the former name of Silverblue). This will behighly disruptiveto Fedora users, and since they’re going to have to reformat anyway, I think it’s a good time to just leave if you’re no longer interested in a distribution that doesn’t take usability and desktop users seriously (because IBM doesn’t). Some Flatpaks do indeed work fine, most “appear” to work fine initially and then you find out later that the “Sandbox” actually breaks things. Sometimes the breakage is just annoying, sometimes it puts a real crimp on what you want the program to do. For example, with OpenRA, you can’t install community mods into the games, so you’re going to need the AppImage files (a different universal program format for Linux I’ll get to later). With GNOME Web (Epiphany), I tried to use the Flatpak on KDE because I think WebkitGTK is a pretty good rendering engine. It makes pages look fantastic, but the Flatpak was completely broken and wouldn’t connect to Firefox Sync, which is also unfortunately the only way to bring in bookmarks and passwords without importing your bookmarks as an HTML file and the passwords one at a time. I currently have about 450 passwords in my browsers. I can share them between each browser in a CSV file. Web can’t import in this format. They chose to depend on Firefox Sync, which doesn’t even work at all in the Flatpak. When I installed GNOME Web through Flatpak in my Chromebook, it had the same issue with Firefox Sync. Apparently, it just needs something from GNOME, I believe, that they’re not putting in the Flatpak. With Firefox in Flatpaks, sometimes the font rendering is broken. Mozilla still hasn’t looked into this, four_years_after_the_bug_was_filed. I gave up. But if that wasn’t enough, the “Sandbox”, which lets the browser download and execute files, but only in “Downloads” (So don’t worry, the malware can use that, but the rest of the file system is supposedly safe, so hooray!?), breaks Video Download Helper. Video Download Helper requires a “CoApp” program to deal with HTTP Live Streaming sites. It probably also breaks other things that need a Native Helper like the extension to put Gopher support back into Firefox. (I didn’t check.) When I tried to remove the file system “Sandbox” so the Firefox flatpak could fine the CoApp, the application stopped paying attention to its folder in ~/.var/app and wrote into my /home folder where non-Flatpak Firefox usually stores new profiles, caches, and settings. Ugh. Using Flatpaks is aggravating because the “Something something security!” people have amazingly left almost all the attack surface, yet declared there’s a “Sandbox”, and because of the “Sandbox”, many applications come close to working, but no cigar, unless they don’t actually have to do very much. Even Debian’s_Wiki_page_about_Flatpak has a section on Security concerns about the format, which leads to Flatkill.org. Flatkill was last updated in 2020, and very little had changed. Most of the platform Flatpaks have old libraries that don’t get security patches, sometimes for nearly a year after a security hole is found. Debian says that one reason to prefer Debian packages is because the system library will be patched centrally by the Debian Security Team, but if you use Flatpaks, then none of your Flatpaks pick up the fix unless it’s fixed by Flathub’s copy of the library. If you use many Flatpaks, Debian loses their ability to protect you from slobs at Flathub who ignore security patches for their code libraries. Debian can only fix Debian’s libraries. It’s fundamentally the same with every distribution, but when you use Fedora Silverblue or another immutable OS, and everything is a Flatpak, all your applications become vulnerable to Flathub’s slovenly security practices. So you can imagine how horrible it must be to try to administer “Silverblue” or anything going down that path, like SUSE ALP probably will. So this is why I said “Screw it!” and installed Debian. I don’t know if they’ll go down this particular path of errors, but if they do, I’ll use something else. We’ll cross that bridge when we get there. This “immutable” file system garbage forces the user to run “containerized applications” which only causes a different disaster to actually happen. Unpatched libraries piling up. Lots of them. Like Windows. While I was initially supportive and enthusiastic about Flatpak, the more I’ve learned, seen, and experienced has shown me that it should really only be a supplemental source of software for when your distribution refuses to package something you want, or you need a later version than they have. I myself have never had more than about 10-12 Flatpaks on the entire system, and that’s with thousands of RPMs or DEBs. Another issue I’m seeing with Flatpak is that it seems to be an outlet for IBM/ Red Hat’s anti-X11 propaganda. They’ve already declared it a “Legacy Window System” even though Wayland_is unstable and not_feature-complete_enough to use for any desktop other than GNOME. In IBM’s world, everything except GNOME (which is sort of their corporate sewer), doesn’t exist. KWin is a fantastic window manager. It also supports X11 better than Wayland. The IBM propaganda and troll army has already declared Wayland to be everything you need, even though in the background they quietly do thousands of patches to XWayland which have no relevance to Xorg Server running as the windowing system natively. It’s very important to them to get XWayland into better shape because most software developers have assigned little to no priority to actually supporting Wayland itself, and using Wayland directly will destabilize many window managers, and make X11 applications fail to work properly. (Even_on_GNOME.) So, since Wayland is making everything I do function worse, also having this propaganda about X11 in Flatpak is just making me cringe about Flatpak more. But isn’t some “security” better than none? If it doesn’t get in the user’s way and if they actually fix it when it does, hey, I’m all for it. But creating a problem by solving another, smaller, problem, is not “security”. It just changes the type of danger the user is now in. Discretionary Access Controls are something so fundamental and basic, that Microsoft basically made them unworkable until Windows 7, and broken from Windows 7 onward. But we are supposed to let them have a pass and complain about every local privilege escalation bug in Linux? Just fix them! Fix them as they are discovered. Making the file system root read-only on a general purpose OS will piss off administrators, but it won’t substantially add any real security to a desktop system. Unless you have a very narrow use case, like an embedded or server operation, or something like Tails where the user is supposed to be in a live environment that gets cleared from main memory and wiped anyway, and shouldn’t be going around installing things, and making the thing tamper-resilient is the use case because it won’t harm the appliance anyway, immutable file systems and containers are somewhat overrated. This is an example of “Justify your use case.” being ignored by the people who tend to say it all the time themselves. Most malicious software is more than happy getting to a place where it can spy on the users or encrypt their data and make demands for payment to get it back. Like what’s so common on Microsoft Windows. You can do a lot of that damage even with the Flatpak “Sandbox” (which the author and the user both control, so there may not even be any Sandboxing to speak of), and a read-only file system root. About half of the most popular applications don’t even have the “Sandbox” on to a meaningful degree, on top of the rotting libraries issue. Most “cross-platform” malware is actually a malicious browser extension that gets overlooked by Google. They’ve let the Chrome Web Store turn into a malware author’s paradise. They remove some every now and then, but there’s always more. You shouldn’t “install all kinds of extensions”, especially ones under a proprietary license, where the author cannot be verified to have put it there, or things you don’t absolutely need. Most attackers aren’t really trying to screw up your computer. In the 1980s and 1990s, when you got a computer virus, it was something some bored asshole did to mess up your machine. They were just malicious and laughing to themselves about being able to trash a lot of people’s computers because they stuck in a floppy disk and ran the wrong program. Sometimes the goal was to just make the computer do something really annoying. Now, they’re trying to make money, through adware, keyloggers to steal bank info, etc., which they can do through Chrome extensions. None of this “Silverblue” stuff will protect you from that. You have to use your brain and limit your exposure. Putting the Web in a position where it has become so overgrown that “visit page, get pwned” is even possible, is the doing of Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Mozilla. Recognizing malware in a browser’s extension store faster, and pulling it out, is where Google and other browser makers could really do some setbacks. Crippling an operating system to deal with those threats is inappropriate. Immutable operating systems also don’t do anything about potential ransomware that may want to run in the area of the file system the user controls, because that’s where their files are. You know, call me old fashioned. One of the things I like about updates being deployed through individual packages is, as the owner of the computer, I like to have some say in what gets pulled in, and when is a convenient time for a reboot. Not offering the user individual updates and letting them apply “only security”, or “security plus this issue I’m having”, is partly how Windows got to be as much of a mess as it is now. Where every month Microsoft craps out an update several hundred MB big, and then breaks things, and “uses telemetry” to see how it went for whoever was unlucky enough to get it first. I really don’t like to be pissed on and told it’s raining. If you want to do an immutable OS with Flatpaks because it’s easier for you as an OS vendor to point me to semi-trusted packages that all don’t work to some degree and have rotting libraries and partial-sandboxing, and give me mega- updates that are all or nothing, and “Don’t worry about what’s in them, you’ll find out…”, then just say that. Please don’t tell me you’re “Securing” my PC. Real security is “trench work”. It means fixing bugs and immediately rolling out patches. Flatpaks can never be part of a concept like this as long as the people behind it don’t want to package new libraries quickly, and nobody is willing to tell application developers “fix your program”. I’ve had an amazingly long 25 year malware-free Linux experience. I have a difficult time believing I’ll suddenly run into something tomorrow if I don’t deploy an “immutable” OS with Flatpaks-only. However, what Fedora Silverblue users will find staring them in their face when they open “unfiltered Flathub” in GNOME Software, among other things, is a gigantic piece of trash, and keylogger, packaged by free (to Microsoft) labor, called Microsoft_Edge_for_Linux along with 600 other pieces of really dodgy proprietary software, like Zoom. Have fun with that. Or you can join me in moving to whichever operating system doesn’t seem to be showing interest in going in this direction. For what it’s worth, I don’t think there’s any strong community interest in containers, Flatpak, or immutable distributions. All of the immutable distributions I know of that are purported to be of general purpose use are maintained by corporations. I think they might sound better on a “whitepaper” on the desk at an IBM boardroom meeting than they perform in practice. In a Chromebook, all_of_Debian_is_in_a_container, but Debian itself is not an immutable OS or trying to restrain what the user can accomplish in the container. Google has also bridged the container to the main OS so that the user can share files and other resources with the Debian system. Perhaps Google’s model is the best example of a containerized product on the market for average users, but they don’t have it set up the way that Silverblue and other “immutable Linux distributions” are trying to go. I believe that, contrasted with IBM debauching the Linux experience, Google has provided a successful example of how containerized operating systems actually can add an incredible amount of value to a product. When I bought my first Chromebook, it was just a Web browser. It couldn’t do anything else, couldn’t even print with it. A “Google Cloud Print” thing came up and told me my printer was useless and I’d have to buy a “Google Cloud Print” printer and hook it up to my network, so I was stuck printing to PDFs and sticking them on a thumbdrive for the library’s copying machine. Microsoft, of all companies, even made an advertisement mocking them for being “basically a brick” without an Internet connection. (With the cast of Pawn Stars.) With support for CUPS and Debian, Google has made the Chromebook a Windows PC- killer. Even my spouse, who has no interest in administering a computer, is a Debian user now thanks to the Chromebook. We don’t even use Chrome on it. I set it up so it has other browsers by the way of Android and Linux. I think it’s kind of neat that Google realized people were walking away, but you can get OEMs the marketshare they crave if you just sell the customer an entire computer. After it reaches end of life in a couple years, I’m_going_to_perform_some surgery_and_put_Chrome_OS_Flex_on_it. █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1375 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2023/09/04/irc-log-030923/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2023/09/04/irc-log-030923/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 09.04.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ IRC_Proceedings:_Sunday,_September_03,_2023⠀✐ Posted in IRC_Logs at 2:27 am by Needs Sunlight Also available via the Gemini protocol at: * gemini://gemini.techrights.org/irc-gmi/irc-log-techrights-030923.gmi * gemini://gemini.techrights.org/irc-gmi/irc-log-030923.gmi * gemini://gemini.techrights.org/irc-gmi/irc-log-social-030923.gmi * gemini://gemini.techrights.org/irc-gmi/irc-log-techbytes-030923.gmi Over HTTP: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇H 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇HTML5_logs⦈_ #techrights_log_as_HTML5 #boycottnovell_log_as_HTML5 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇H 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇HTML5_logs⦈_ #boycottnovell-social_log_as_HTML5 #techbytes_log_as_HTML5 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇t 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇text_logs⦈_ #techrights_log_as_text #boycottnovell_log_as_text 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇t 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇text_logs⦈_ #boycottnovell-social_log_as_text #techbytes_log_as_text Enter_the_IRC_channels_now =============================================================================== § IPFS Mirrors⠀➾ CID Description Object type IRC log for  Qme3PPAtSi3c8UDqj6uLCMrjCRU86CEDxHTjm7Fqkoffvm #boycottnovell 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇HTML5 logs⦈ (full IRC log as HTML) IRC log for #boycottnovell  QmfNEw9omy2LymoGhzHXEsyeD66e6z4eETUc7NkeZd4Mg6 (full IRC log 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇text logs⦈ as plain/ASCII text) IRC log for #boycottnovell-  QmUhWAkaNmrKYqftocUdwKAynwwU9xy3yioYHyJ5DBTDfB social 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇HTML5 logs⦈ (full IRC log as HTML) IRC log for #boycottnovell-  QmZsv3E8oD4ZeijQanqiAHvCcKUko4QQyRadS2zm3DdeQs social 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇text logs⦈ (full IRC log as plain/ASCII text) IRC log for  QmXEdF4BLgC8a5fnM9XWjZXMMxXNZ5kVtZaFioX4Pk9uxZ #techbytes 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇HTML5 logs⦈ (full IRC log as HTML) IRC log for #techbytes  QmNWVgJVi3vv49veFLSHA2vmjXLBseV6oj4bLFaLkft6Ly (full IRC log 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇text logs⦈ as plain/ASCII text) IRC log for  Qmb1U6oqr4NG8x2cLEqnQtddo38miAXo17dYNm7NTJxD2v #techrights 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇HTML5 logs⦈ (full IRC log as HTML) IRC log for #techrights  QmVff3szYSwpMMmEr26wCrgumUFaPZNJfXHe3a1qeGSCXL (full IRC log 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇text logs⦈ as plain/ASCII text) 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇IPFS logo⦈ § Bulletin for Yesterday⠀➾ Local_copy | CID (IPFS): QmfCHrqMLfMsHXYnQeAvVuNYt91Zw2AmMJ5mx4RqsrWy3b ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1502 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2023/09/04/united-states-internet/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2023/09/04/united-states-internet/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 09.04.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Censorship_and_Surveillance_in_the_United_States’_Internet⠀✐ Posted in Deception at 8:21 pm by Guest Editorial Team Reprinted with permission from Ryan_Farmer. The United States’ Internet Faces Growing Resemblance to China’s Great Firewall as the Crooked New York Times Acts as the Party’s Mouthpiece. When Edward_Snowden revealed that the United States government basically_spies on_everyone and logs_their_Internet_activity in case they ever become interesting, it should have been a Five Alarm Fire wake-up call to Americans everywhere to do more to safeguard their privacy. You could read anyone’s email in the world, anybody you’ve got an email address for. Any website: You can watch traffic to and from it. Any computer that an individual sits at: You can watch it. Any laptop that you’re tracking: you can follow it as it moves from place to place throughout the world. It’s a one-stop-shop for access to the NSA’s information. … You can tag individuals … Let’s say you work at a major German corporation and I want access to that network, I can track your username on a website on a forum somewhere, I can track your real name, I can track associations with your friends and I can build what’s called a fingerprint, which is network activity unique to you, which means anywhere you go in the world, anywhere you try to sort of hide your online presence, your identity. -Edward Snowden answers “What could you do if you would use XKeyscore?” However, even as these shocking revelations became public information, the response was just like the RIAA v. The Internet era, where copyright lawyers working for filthy rich executives and multi-millionaires like Metallica, sued poverty-stricken single mothers over some MP3 files they found on KaZaa, and extracted millions of theoretical dollars, (due to driving someone who was already too poor to pay the damages into bankruptcy). Americans hit the Snooze button yet again. “Remind me Later.” What did they do to increase their privacy? Nothing. Now, the_corrupt_New_York_Times is backing_Apple_and_Arkansas in their War on the Internet. Apple is trying to use threats of being booted out of the App Store against Reddit, to force them to clean up the porn. Even though Reddit’s porn content is not enough to make them covered by the Arkansas “card people to use this site” law (it has to be like 51% or something), Apple’s threats of booting them from the App Store carry serious weight behind them, as useds of the iPhone have no Freedom to simply go around Apple and install Reddit themselves, like Android users can with things that are not allowed in the Play Store, or when we want Free and Open Source Software from F-Droid. Reddit’s business is advertising, so they will balance the threat of being booted from the App Store (where they can spy on people’s iPhones and gather tons of useful information about them for selling ads) with how many ads they can plaster everywhere around the pornography, and try to figure out which is the least damaging route for Reddit. If they cave, which they are starting to, and delete the porn or make it difficult to casually access, then they’ll go the way of Tumblr, which gave into Apple’s threats and deleted the porn, and that’s the last anyone ever heard of Tumblr. On top of Apple, which has this sick, almost clinical, fascination and disgust about porn on the Internet, the “Republicans of Gilead” in States like Arkansas have implemented laws that make porn sites (defined by arbitrary amounts of content) demand to see government ID to get in. Only a few sites are even complying with the Arkansas law, but one of the ones that is, is PornHub, which detects if you have an Arkansas-based IP address and blocks you if you do. Laws like this are stupid easy to bypass. If the person gets a VPN and uses a VPN server that’s not in Arkansas, they can see the site again. If they don’t have $4-5 a month in their pocket for a VPN, they can just install the Brave Web browser, and open a Private Window with Tor, and load the site in the Tor Window. Or even use the Tor Browser itself. These laws are comically ineffective, because Tor is doing what it was designed to do. “Route the victim of an oppressive regime around the censorship.” Once these people “go dark”, the government will actually have a harder time monitoring them at all, and so will the sites that are tracking them all over the Web. So the government doesn’t “clean up the Web”. It just makes it so everyone who wants to do another legal thing on the Internet, without forking over their ID, goes encrypted and routes their traffic through something else. The people using Tor and VPNs to get around the Arkansas law aren’t committing any crime. The law doesn’t claim to make it a crime for the user to bypass the ID check. It just lays out penalties for sites that should know that a person is in Arkansas, who don’t check for IDs. There’s really no strong incentive for the site to figure out if a Tor or VPN user is in Arkansas. The only thing they could do is ask the user. For my part, I usually browse the Web through a VPN server in Sweden, Switzerland, or the Netherlands, where there are laws regarding privacy. It’s horrible, sometimes, trying to access American Web sites, because there’s no privacy laws to protect Americans, so they just shut out anyone with an EU IP address and say they don’t comply with the GDPR. It also causes a lot of cookie screens, that I have my browsers configured to swat back down with the ad blockers, so that I can never consent. And then, just in case, my browsers toss the cookies and local site data, with limited exceptions for half a dozen sites or so, on exit. Google kind of messes with you if you do that, but I don’t use Google search. I_use_Searx_Belgium,_and_here’s_why. Google does a lot of annoying things to lean on VPN and Tor users to “log in” and identify themselves for searches. (Never log in to a search engine.) Then they’ll know it was you and record it, even if they can’t currently see your real IP address. With Searx Belgium I can go to the Settings and persistently prefer United States -English results. I also benefit from the VPN server in Europe because sites will tend to comply with the GDPR. It causes a lot of “cookie notice” pop-ups, but my browsers slap them back down again with ad blocking rules, so I never see them, and therefore can’t consent anyway. And then I expire my cookies at the end of the session anyway, except for Searx Belgium and a few other sites. The United States Internet is basically becoming unusable. I don’t own any Apple devices. I certainly never consented that Apple could decide what I can see on my browser on my computer, because I’ve never agreed to any Apple licenses for any Apple software. (Except for that one time I agreed not to make any atomic bombs with Safari on Windows, a long time ago. Seriously, this was in the license file.) However, their corrupting influence is affecting what sites feel free to host. Not that any of this is in defense of Reddit. They’re_bad_too. They have every reason to pressure people to sign in so they can track them. They’re an ad company. If you sign into Reddit, you should put Reddit in a container where it can’t see your Web activity outside of this, or use Private Mode with Tor in Brave or browse over a VPN, give them a fake email you don’t use for anything else. That way they don’t know who they watch. For now, you can get around the “log in or get the app” nonsense with Old Reddit Redirect, but who knows how much longer they’ll let users opt out of the New Reddit mess. Increasingly, the way to deal with the US Internet is “Don’t browse without a VPN or Tor.” Bill Gates has lobbied for the end of encryption and privacy for everyone except_rich_criminals. They’re finding it hard to control and monitor people when they disappear from the radar. The government doesn’t belong in people’s homes. Especially not to decide what (otherwise legal) things they are doing or watching. If parents really have a problem with things on the Internet, they need to step up, be a parent, and take control of the devices in their own home. But increasingly, this issue is just a distraction to legitimize government spying, like the programs that Snowden revealed. This is because they know nobody will dare say anything about it if they say it’s to protect kids. Protect kids? Which kids and what are the government protecting, and from what? In Illinois, where I live, kids tend to be habitual offenders by the time they’re 14 or 15. There’s no career prospects in the State and only 70% of the kids where I live can even graduate high school. It’s almost like something out of Somalia. In the news, every day, they’re shooting people, dealing dope, stealing cars, and mugging people. Gangs in Chicago use kids as soon as they’re old enough to hold a gun and reach the gas pedal in the car they stole from you. Maybe the government should focus on this. I strongly believe they should bring back the electric chair, find the adults who are putting kids up to this crap, and have the adults ride the lightning for it. You turned the kids into monsters, you pay the price. But no, the government isn’t worried about this or they would do something about it. Instead, they have crooked Apple, “Conde Nasty” (Reddit), the corrupt New York Times egging on a moral panic about pornography. When I was a teenager, I saw porn on the Internet. I think everyone I know did. We’re in charge of the world now. I mean, my parents’ generation is thinning out and can’t be blamed for everything. We should never allow the government to become so tyrannical that they start mandating laws against privacy, encryption, and what software we are allowed to run, and I believe it’s sick that we’re allowing them to use children as props while they’re not cleaning up the mess in Chicago. What the Crooked New York Times proposes is far worse than what we have now. The article suggests not one, but two Supreme Court decisions (Reno v. A.C.L.U and Ashcroft v. American Civil Liberties Union) should be reversed, and that instead of the essentially open access to the Web we have today, we would have something even more restrictive than the Arkansas law imposed on every American. Under this proposal, any person who wants to access legal material would be forced to provide their driver’s license or credit card information, essentially allowing porn sites, credit card companies, banks, and advertisers to track exactly who is viewing what content. In Russia, such information is frequently used for blackmail (they call it “Kompromat”), where they compile a list of a person’s online activities and use it to portray them as a demented pervert, even though a majority of the country views such content every day. The fact that this idea is being discussed in The New York Times suggests that it’s on the Democrat Party’s agenda, although the Republicans may have arrived at similar proposals earlier. The proposal by the New York Times is even worse than it sounds in yet another way. Because part of the Child Online Protection Act that the US Supreme Court took issue with in their Ashcroft verdict, was that the law tried to censor things that could be considered by reasonable and logical people to have serious literary, artistic, or scientific merit. If Ashcroft were to be reversed fully, then the entire law would go back into effect, having a chilling effect on our First Amendment rights. Far beyond what most normal people would agree is pornographic. So you can also consider this another attempt by the Radical Left to gather around a bonfire of books. Perhaps the liberals are hoping for what Darth Vader asserted, “There will be nobody to stop us this time!“ █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1847 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 09.04.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Gemini_Links_04/09/2023:_Web_Environment_Integrity_Rant_and_Inbox_Zero_in Hindsight⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 3:44 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal/Opinions o Technology_and_Free_Software # Internet/Gemini # Programming * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ 🔤SpellBinding:_ACEHYTI_Wordo:_RANKS⠀⇛ # ⚓ One_Particular_Harbour⠀⇛ I grew up on that big peninsula in Wisconsin that sticks out into Lake Michigan. Nearly every weekend during the summer I could be found on the family boat, jet skiing with friends or just hanging out on the beach. The radio was always playing oldies and boat rock. About half of the CD’s we owned were Jimmy Buffett. We all knew the words to every song, the classics, the deep cuts. His music was the soundtrack to my childhood. I saw Jimmy Buffett in concert half a dozen times over the years. The first time I was probably 12 or 13. Pre-show tailgating at Alpine Valley was a mix of celebrating music and a lot of drinking, drugs and sex. Went every other year well into college. Grass seats, singing the same songs, it was always an amazing time. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Web_Environment_Integrity⠀⇛ So, on the off-chance it does happen, I feel that some of the hackers and hobbyists on the fediverse, gopherspace, and geminispace could start looking into spoofing the PrivateToken challenge that the system is based around. You see, unless I’m talking shit, the second- worst case scenario would result in the entire internet splintering, and so a multi- web browser would be quite handy. That’s not to say that splintering would necessarily be Google’s fault. The idea of the so-called “splinternet” has been tossed around for years; but that’s a subject for Wired to cover. # ⚓ How_to_strengthen_the_Small_net⠀⇛ So probably without those interpersonal ties, this place will be like any other place on the Internet.

But it shouldn’t be. # ⚓ This_week_—_Going_Through_My_Blog_Task_List⠀⇛ TL;DR: I had another long weekend, so I drafted up some pages that I’ve been wanting to create. I also decided to scrap some past plans for this blog. Work has been busy as usual: I juggled different tasks during the workweek, but thankfully none were urgent. Unfortunately, we experienced rough weather here in the city, which culminated in Friday work being suspended thanks to the developing typhoon. Thus, I had another long weekend. Hence, I took the opportunity to work more on my blog, and cross off some tasks that I wanted to accomplish. # ⚓ What_was_Inbox_Zero?⠀⇛ Inbox Zero was the philosophy that there should be super clear edges between “email you’ve never even seen before”, “email you still need to reply to but you don’t need to do anything else first”, “email that’s waiting for you or someone else to do something external”, and “email you’re done with but might wanna look up things in later”, and using folders to do that. I’m not sure if people are still using folders and stuff to organize email, but yeah, in general, fishing out “I need to do something” things from your notes or emails or RSS or socials or phone calls or meetings, and then making yourself aware of what are the practical and concrete actions I need to take and what context I need to be in, practicing that is pretty clutch. # § Programming⠀➾ # ⚓ Address_Randomization_Tribulations⠀⇛ So, I have a tiny 32-bit application (a Forth) taking up about 4K, written in fasm. Pure minimalism, including an iffy elf header that fasm creates, with a fixed load address. More on that later. It’s been unstable, and I tracked the instability down to the initial memory allocation. Right at the start I add my desired memory size to the code base (the top label in asm code), and invoke `brk` system call. This worked as long as I allocated a largish amount, but failed on anything smaller than 16MB or so. Furthermore, it failed intermittently. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

All you have to do is Install Steam, download the game you like, and play it. # ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ Wine_Dev_8.15_Released,_How_to_Install_it in_Ubuntu⠀⇛ Wine, the popular software library to running Windows apps on Linux and macOS, announced a new development release one day ago. # ⚓ RoseHosting ☛ How_to_Install_RPM_Packages_On_Ubuntu_22.04⠀⇛ RPM or Red Hat Package Manager is a free, open- source package management system. The RPM package management system is written in C and Perl programming languages for Linux operating systems. It is used in many other distributions, such as Fedora, AlmaLinux, CentOS, and OracleLinux. The Red Hat distributions are Debian and Ubuntu. Installing RPM packages on Ubuntu 22.04 can be done in two different ways. It is a very easy process that may take a couple of minutes. Let’s get started! o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ It’s FOSS ☛ Linux_Users_Beware!_GNOME_45_is_Bad_News for_Extensions⠀⇛ With every GNOME upgrade, some extensions break; that’s not new. But, with GNOME 45, every extension will break And why is that? Let me tell you more about it. With every upgrade, there is always a technical improvement or change. And, GNOME 45 comes with pretty exciting changes, except this one. # ⚓ Alan Pope ☛ Updated_‘Must-Have’_GNOME_extensions list⠀⇛ Back in December 2020 I wrote up my personal Must-Have GNOME extensions. It’s been nearly three years, two job changes, and a few Ubuntu upgrades, so I thought I’d take another look. This used to crash a lot for me, to the point I’d go and look for it in the panel and it was missing. I figured if I don’t realise it’s gone, I probably don’t need it that much. Also, GNOME shell volume control has changed a bit over the last few years. It’s pretty easy to switch device now in the menu. # ⚓ GNOME ☛ Jonathan_Blandford:_Crosswords_0.3.11: Acrostic_Panels⠀⇛ Long time, no release. When I last_blogged about GNOME Crosswords, I had a design plan to improve the editing API. It’s been a busy summer since then. The crosswords team rewrote large chunks of code to implement and use this new API: [...] # ⚓ Andy_Holmes:_Mentoring_in_Open_Source⠀⇛ This year, I was invited by Sonny Piers to be a co-mentor for the GNOME Foundation, working on platform demos for Workbench. I already contribute a lot of entry-level documentation and help a lot of contributors, so this felt like a good step in a direction I’ve been heading for a while. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Reviews⠀➾ # ⚓ Distro Watch ☛ Review:_Debian_GNU/Hurd_2023_and_PCLinuxOS 2023.07_“KDE”⠀⇛ While many rolling release distributions constantly chase after the latest technologies, themes, and cutting edge packages, PCLinuxOS is unusual in that it has a strongly conservative approach. The distribution does provide up to date packages, but it feels like a lot of effort has been put into keeping the distribution stable and running smoothly via older approaches. PCLinuxOS doesn’t move with the latest trends. This is a project which doesn’t enable a lot of visual effects, doesn’t leap on newer technologies, doesn’t attempt to package every new desktop that comes along. It’s still running SysV init (instead of systemd), it’s still using an X11 session for Plasma instead of Wayland, it still offers MATE over GNOME, and it is still using the Synaptic package manager over more modern software centres like Discover. In short, despite the regular flow of updated packages flowing into the distribution’s repositories, not much seems to be changing with PCLinuxOS. It’s reluctant to adopt new ways of doing things, like portable packages and welcome windows, and advanced filesystems. Most of the tools, approaches, and system administration modules still look and behave the same way they did ten years ago. This might appeal to a lot of users, particularly ones who were getting started with Linux around the time PCLinuxOS reached the top of the DistroWatch page hit ranking charts, nearly 20 years ago. People who have been comfortable with Linux for a long time and don’t feel the urge to roll with the times will probably enjoy this distribution a lot. There is a strong sense when using PCLinuxOS that if something isn’t broke, then they don’t fix it. However, on the other side of that coin, there are some tools and approaches which have become so commonplace these days that it feels odd to not see them included in this distribution. It feels odd to be missing so many manual pages (though not all of them), it feels a bit strange to be manually adding and troubleshooting Flatpak at this point, it feels a bit alien to not have access to sudo (or doas) on a modern Linux distribution. PCLinuxOS is unusually static for a rolling release, to the point I was able to copy/paste some of the paragraphs in this review from a previous article I wrote about the distribution over four years ago. Basically, for the past decade, PCLinuxOS has been upgrading its packages to keep up with upstream, but it doesn’t appear to have tried anything new or introduced any custom tools. This probably appeals to existing PCLinuxOS users as they can continue to feel comfortable, but it is a project unlikely to draw new users who expect to have access to certain modern tools or resources. o § New Releases⠀➾ # ⚓ DebugPoint ☛ antiX_23:_Debian_12-Powered_Linux_Distro_for Aging_Hardware⠀⇛ antiX, renowned for being a lightweight, systemd- free desktop Linux distribution tailored for aging hardware, has just unveiled antiX 23, the latest iteration of its impressive distro. The key highlight? It’s now based on Debian 12 “Bookworm”. o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ DebugPoint ☛ NetBSD’s_Endurance:_A_Decade-Long_Server Uptime_Record⠀⇛ Software upgrades have become the norm today for all desktops and servers. Updates to consumer operating systems (Linux or Windows or Mac) are very frequent due to ever-evolving CVEs and fixes. Thus, it’s rare to find a server that has been running continuously for a decade. Yet, such a remarkable feat has recently come to light, and it involves an unexpected champion: NetBSD. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ Raspberry_Pi_Uses_AI_for_Virtual Painting⠀⇛ The team at the Sparklers: We Are The Makers YouTube channel uses a Raspberry Pi for their virtual painting program. # ⚓ Daniel Lemire ☛ Locating_‘identifiers’_quickly_(ARM_NEON edition)⠀⇛ A common problem in parsing is that you want to find all identifiers (e.g., variable names, function names) in a document quickly. There are typically some fixed rules. For example, it is common to allow ASCII letters and digits as well as characters like ‘_’ in the identifier, but to forbid some characters at the beginning of the identifier (such as digits). E.g., ab123 is an identifier but 123ab might not be. # ⚓ Old VCR ☛ Refurb_weekend:_PowerBook_Duo_2300c⠀⇛ With the Dock, your little, relatively underpowered laptop was hoovered up into a beige plastic maw to make it into an average-sized, somewhat less underpowered desktop. But you got slots and ports and the ability to use it like a desktop computer — two computers in one! — and that was crucial because without any Dock, even the smaller Mini and MicroDocks, you had hardly any ports at all (MacBook Air has entered the chat). Docking was so important that Apple even intentionally gimped the 2300 by keeping the 100MHz 603e on a 32-bit bus to maintain Dock compatibility. Yet because Duos were irrepressibly cute, they turned up in many other TV shows and even movies, most notoriously Hackers: [...] # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ GOWIN_&_Andes_Technologies_collaborate_and reveal_22nm_SoC_FPGA⠀⇛ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Growing_Oxides_On_Silicon_On_The_Road_To_DIY Semiconductors⠀⇛ Doing anything that requires measurements in nanometers is pretty difficult, and seems like it would require some pretty sophisticated equipment. But when the task at hand is growing oxide layers on silicon chips in preparation for making your own integrated circuits, it turns out that the old Mark 1 eyeball is all you need. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Bare_PCB_Makes_A_Decent_Homemade_Smart_Watch⠀⇛ These days, we live in a post-Dick Tracy world, where you can make a phone call with your fancy wristwatch, and lots more besides. [akashv44] has gone a simpler route, designing their own from scratch with a bare PCB design. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o ⚓ Libre Arts ☛ LibreArts_Weekly_recap_—_3_September_2023⠀⇛ This is a comparatively short recap, because there haven’t been all that many changes and releases. Highlights: new features in Inkscape and FreeCAD, new releases of BlenderBIM and libwacom, cool new stuff in Ardour. The Swatches dock UI has been recently updated by Mike Kowalski. o § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ # ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Papirus_Icon_Pack_Updated_with_New-Look LibreOffice_Icons⠀⇛ A major update to the phenomenally popular Paprius icon set for Linux desktops is now available. Papirus’ September 2023 update adds a bunch of new and updated glyphs, including redesigned icons for LibreOffice that riff on the suite’s own recent icon revamp. Among the newly added apps supported in Paprius v20230901: Additional file/document types are catered for as of this update, with .hwp, .Julia, and .vue among them. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ 10_years_of_rio⠀⇛ rio was the first R package I uploaded to CRAN. And actually, I had my first experience with the back then not-so-friendly CRAN team. I was accused by a CRAN team member for wasting his time 1. But after many back-and-forth e-mails and uploads, the first version of rio, v0.1.1, was released on CRAN on 2013-08-28 at 14:02 CEST. That’s right: that was exactly ten years ago today. I used rio in my own PhD research for quickly save and load data. But I did not find rio to be widely used in 2013-2014. There was no development for almost a year (as there was no need, rio worked well enough for my research), until I received an e-mail from Dr Thomas J. Leeper (now research scientist at Facebook Meta) in 2015 saying he updated the package to support more formats (excel, json, etc.) and asking how should he proceed with contributing to the package. At the time, I was busy with my own PhD research (plus million other research projects and services). He even offered to me to uptake the maintainership of rio. I agreed and then the rest is history. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2481 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 09.04.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Links_04/09/2023:_fwupd_1.9.5_and_Linux_Lite_6.6⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 11:25 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * GNU/Linux o Graphics_Stack o Applications o Instructionals/Technical o Desktop_Environments/WMs # GNOME_Desktop/GTK * Distributions_and_Operating_Systems o New_Releases o Canonical/Ubuntu_Family o Devices/Embedded o Mobile_Systems/Mobile_Applications * Free,_Libre,_and_Open_Source_Software * Leftovers o Hardware o Health/Nutrition/Agriculture o Proprietary/Artificial_Intelligence_(AI) o Security/SANS # Privacy/Surveillance o Defence/Aggression o Transparency/Investigative_Reporting o Environment # Energy/Transportation # 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 Internet_Policy/Net_Neutrality o Digital_Restrictions_(DRM) * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o § Graphics Stack⠀➾ # ⚓ Jamie Zawinski ☛ Wayland_and_screen_savers⠀⇛ Wayland does not support screen savers: it does not have any provision that allows screen savers to even exist in any meaningful way. If you value screen savers, that’s kind of a problem. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ fwupd_1.9.5_Released_with_Support_for_More Devices,_Optional_Passim_Support⠀⇛ This release enables firmware upgrading on the System76 Launch 3, Launch Heavy 3, and Thelio IO 2 devices, HP Rata/Remi BLE mice, Genesys GL3525S USB hub, Luxshare Quad USB4 dock, as well as EPOS ADAPT 1×5, Fibocom FM101, and Foxconn T99W373 devices. A couple of new features have been introduced in this update, namely optional support for the Passim local caching server and support for using the fwupdtool get-devices –json command. # ⚓ Linux Links ☛ 10_Excellent_Free_and_Open_Source_Java Natural_Language_Processing_Tools⠀⇛ Many challenges in NLP involve natural language understanding. In other words, computers learn how to determine meaning from human or natural language input, and others involve natural language generation. Java is one of the most widely used programming languages owing part of its popularity to its extensive ecosystem. Programming in Java provides the access to this ecosystem that consists of several libraries, frameworks, and APIs. Java runs Python and R close when it comes to NLP. Our recommendations are captured in this ratings chart. Only free and open source software is eligible for inclusion. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ DebugPoint ☛ How_to_Unzip_or_Open_Gz_File_in_Linux⠀⇛ Gzip is a widely used algorithm that compresses files while retaining original properties, commonly applied to speed up web page loading. Files those compressed with gzip ends with extension .gz or .z. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ GNOME_45_Breaks_Extensions’ Compatibility⠀⇛ The GNOME desktop environment has long been a choice for Linux users. It is known for its elegant design, user-friendly interface, and vibrant ecosystem of extensions that allow users to customize their desktop experience. However, as technology evolves, so must the software that relies on it. In a significant shift, the upcoming release of GNOME 45, slated for release on September 20, is set to bring a substantial change that will affect the compatibility of extensions with earlier versions of GNOME. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ It’s FOSS ☛ Nitrux_3.0_Release_Improves_its_Update_Tool_and More⠀⇛ Being one of the best-looking Linux distros around, Nitrux is a very intriguing offering that features a beautiful user interface coupled with the power of immutability. It’s been some time since we last took a look at Nitrux. With a recent announcement, Nitrux 3.0 has added many improvements under the hood. Let’s take a brief look at the release. o ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ Linux_Lite_6.6_Arrives_with_Support_for_22_New Languages,_New_AI_Helper_Tool⠀⇛ Coming five months after Linux Lite 6.4, the Linux Lite 6.6 release is derived from Canonical’s recently released Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) operating system and it’s powered by the long-term supported Linux 5.15 LTS kernel series. However, users will also be able to upgrade to the latest Linux 6.5 kernel series. The biggest change in this release is support for 22 new languages, including Afrikaans, Arabic, Chinese Simplified, Croatian, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Portuguese Brazilian, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Sweden, and Ukrainian. o § New Releases⠀➾ # ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Linux_Lite_6.6_Is_Here_but_Still_Relies_on_Xfce 4.16⠀⇛ As the name suggests, Linux Lite is a lightweight, user-friendly Linux distribution based on Ubuntu. It is designed to be a beginner-friendly operating system that provides a familiar and easy-to-use environment for users transitioning from Windows or other operating systems. Today, five months after the previous 6.4 release, the team behind the distro announced Linux Lite 6.6 as a continuation of the 6.x series. So, let’s have a look at what has changed. # ⚓ Beta News ☛ Microsoft_Windows_11_users_should_switch_to Ubuntu-based_Linux_Lite_6.6_now⠀⇛ You know, it’s often hard to get people to leave their comfort zones. But, sometimes, staying where you’re comfortable is the biggest impediment to progress. This is especially true when it comes to operating systems. While Windows 11 has been generating buzz with its new features and revamped UI, let’s not forget the other contenders that are pushing boundaries. Linux Lite 6.6 is one such alternative, and dare I say, it’s one of the most inviting Linux distributions out there for those looking to make a switch. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ GNOME_45_Arrives_in_Daily_Builds_of_Ubuntu 23.10⠀⇛ The next stable update to the world’s most-used Linux desktop environment isn’t due to be released until later this month, so what’s made it in Mantic shouldn’t be considered final, finished, or forgone. But Ubuntu 23.10 isn’t due to be released until October anyway, so it all jives nicely. Improvements to libadwaita aimed at enhancing consistency and adaptability bring new full-height sidebars to many of GNOME’s core apps, including Nautilus, Settings, and Calendar… o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Liliputing ☛ Milk-V_Mars_CM_is_a_quad-core_RISC-V_compute module_with_a_Raspberry_Pi_CM4_form_factor⠀⇛ The Milk-V Mars CM is a 55 x 40mm (2.2″ x 1.6″) computer-on-a-module that looks a lot like a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, and features the same dual 100-pin connectors, which should make it usable with carrier boards designed for the CM4. But while Raspberry Pi’s compute module features an ARM-based Broadcomm processor, the Milk-V Mars CM packs a 1.5 GHz StarFive JH7110 quad-core chip based on RISC-V architecture. Software support for RISC-V is still very much a work in progress, but Milk-V says that the board should work with GNU/Linux distributions including Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, and openSUSE. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ SlashGear ☛ Google_Maps_Vs_TomTom:_Which_App_Is_Better_For Android_Auto⠀⇛ # ⚓ Fake_Signal_and_Telegram_apps_unleash_China-backed_spyware on_Android_devices_|_Technology_News_–_India_TV⠀⇛ # ⚓ SlashGear ☛ How_To_Stop_Android_Apps_From_Using_Data_In_The Background⠀⇛ # ⚓ SlashGear ☛ 5_Common_Ways_To_Fix_Android’s_USB_Tethering Issues⠀⇛ * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ GlobalFoundries_Criticizes_German Subsidies_to_Rival_TSMC⠀⇛ GlobalFoundries also wants some government money. # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ China_Chipmaker_Says_it_Is_Replacing Sanctioned_Tools_Rapidly⠀⇛ According to the CEO China’s Advanced Micro- Fabrication Equipment (AMEC), the Chinese market for semiconductor manufacturing tools is relatively unscratched by US sanctions, with aims of replacing as many as 80% of the restricted tools by the end of 2023 and recovering a full 100% operational capability by the second half of 2024. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ All-Mechanical_Coil_Winder_Is_A_Scrap-Bin Delight⠀⇛ If there’s something more tedious than winding coils, we’re not sure what it is — possibly rolling and wrapping coins; that’s really a bother. But luckily, just like there are mechanical ways to count coins, there are tools to make coil production a little less of a chore, but perhaps none that have as much charm as this all-mechanical coil winder. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Doctors_‘Prescribed’_Free_Fruit_&_Veg_to Thousands_in_an_Experiment⠀⇛ Food really is medicine. o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ Make Tech Easier ☛ 14_Free_Alternatives_to_Microsoft_Visio [Ed: Free Software like LibreOffice demoted to #7?]⠀⇛ While Microsoft Visio is a powerful piece of diagramming software, its price point is well beyond what the average home user is willing to spend at $180 per year. Even the online version starts at $5/month. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Gannett_Stops_Using_AI_To_Write_Articles_For_Now Because_They_Were_Hilariously_Terrible⠀⇛ There may come a time when journalists around the world are left to point at massive datacenters housing AI journo-bots that have perfectly replicated what human journalists can do, screaming “Dey took ‘er jerbs!” like a South Park episode, but today is not that day. And frankly, it doesn’t feel particularly close to being that day. Over the past few months, as AI platforms have exploded in number and notoriety, as have genuinely interesting ways for using those tools exploded, so too have we written a number of posts on attempts to have bots write journalistic articles only to find them to be sub-par in the extreme. # ⚓ Hitman_Makers_IO_Interactive_Comes_to_Rescue_With_a_Hiring Alert_After_the_Recent_Layoffs_in_the_Industry⠀⇛ Despite starting 2023 well, tech companies are right now on the verge of a big wave of layoffs. The layoff surge is affecting the gaming industry the most. Big names in the world of gaming like Ubisoft, Take-Two, Riot Games, and CD Project Red have joined this wave by laying off their employees to a massive extent. # ⚓ Microsoft_Cloud_Tools_Vendor_SkyKick_Lays_Off_140_Employees [Ed: Microsoft’s_implosion is followed by its partners’]⠀⇛ SkyKick, recognised for its migration and backup products for Microsoft 365, has announced a global workforce reduction of over 100 people. Todd Schwartz, one of SkyKick’s co-CEOs based in Seattle, described the layoff as a difficult decision made in reaction to market conditions in a statement given to CRN. “We are well positioned and remain steadfastly committed to ensuring our partners’ success in the cloud over the long-term,” Schwartz said. While the statement did not identify the specific percentage of employees affected by the layoffs or provide a post-layoff headcount, it did reveal that 140 people were released globally, with 98 of these workers situated in the United States. o § Security/SANS⠀➾ # ⚓ SANS ☛ Analysis_of_a_Defective_Phishing_PDF,_(Sun,_Sep 3rd)⠀⇛ A reader submitted a suspicious_PDF_file. TLDR: it&#;x26;#;39;s a defective phishing PDF. # ⚓ Didier Stevens ☛ Overview_of_Content_Published_in_August⠀⇛ Here is an overview of content I published in August: Blog posts: Update: sortcanon.py Version 0.0.3 Update: emldump.py Version 0.0.12 Quickpost: Analysis of PDF/ActiveMime Polyglot Maldocs Quickpost: PDF/ActiveMime Maldocs YARA Rule SANS ISC Diary entries: PDFiD: False Positives Revisited Analysis of RAR Exploit Files (CVE-2023-38831) # ⚓ Didier Stevens ☛ Update:_emldump.py_Version_0.0.12⠀⇛ This update to emldump.py adds a new feature to fix (-F) some obfuscations. For the moment, only one obfuscation method is fixed (many are already ignored with option -f –filter), used in polyglot PDF/Word files. emldump_V0_0_12.zip (http)MD5: 3847B92460C0485E1238C47C29EF9DE1SHA256: AFDFB8E78AE7DE56F50EA73D69705B6DACB425FFBD40D6997D64C7C75E3D8A0D # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Apple_explains_why_it_ended_work_on_feature to_block_abuse_images⠀⇛ The company offered the explanation to Heat Initiative, a group that focuses on child safety, after it requested that the tech giant create a tool to find, notify and delete such material from iCloud. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Despite_Everyone_Knowing_Cellebrite Devices_Can_Be_Used_To_Break_Into_Locked_Phones, Cellebrite_Tells_Cops_Not_To_Tell_Anyone_Its_Tech_Can Used_To_Break_Into_Locked_Phones⠀⇛ Cops and cop tech providers like to pretend the things they use and the things they do are so black ops the public should not be allowed to discuss them with anyone, much less the defendants, judges, and juries being asked to weigh evidence and render verdicts in criminal trials. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Of_Course_Bank_Execs_Communicated_Via Encrypted_Messaging,_But_That’s_Not_The_Fault_Of Encryption⠀⇛ I don’t think this is a surprise to anyone, but the SEC and the CFTC combined to issue fines on a bunch of Wall Street firms for execs communicating across encrypted messaging in a manner that wasn’t recorded and preserved as required. Being in a regulated industry means having to deal with all sorts of compliance requirements, that includes preservation of communications. But, of course, that freaks people out, so… they do what everyone does, and figure out ways to communicate outside of “official” channels such that it’s not recorded. # ⚓ Tor ☛ Introducing_Proof-of-Work_Defense_for_Onion Services⠀⇛ Today, we are officially introducing a proof- of-work (PoW) defense for onion services designed to prioritize verified network traffic as a deterrent against denial of service (DoS) attacks with the release of Tor 0.4.8. Tor’s PoW defense is a dynamic and reactive mechanism, remaining dormant under normal use conditions to ensure a seamless user experience, but when an onion service is under stress, the mechanism will prompt incoming client connections to perform a number of successively more complex operations. The onion service will then prioritize these connections based on the effort level demonstrated by the client. We believe that the introduction of a proof-of- work mechanism will disincentivize attackers by making large-scale attacks costly and impractical while giving priority to legitimate traffic. Onion Services are encouraged to update to version 0.4.8. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ UK’s_Oldest_Daily_Newspaper_Apparently First_Stop_On_Clearview’s_Reputational_Rehab_Tour⠀⇛ Clearview has suffered tons of self-inflicted damage during its relatively short life as a viable, if execrable, product. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Two_independent_Novosibirsk_lawmakers_say hidden_cameras_were_installed_in_their_offices_— Meduza⠀⇛ In the last four days, two independent Novosibirsk City Council deputies have reported discovering that hidden cameras were installed in their offices. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ teleSUR ☛ [Old]_International_NGOs_Alert_of_Humanitarian Situation_in_Congo⠀⇛ The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs warned of “outbreaks of violence” and “increased humanitarian needs” in eastern DRC. # ⚓ Defence Web ☛ [Old]_New_UN_network_wants_DRC_brothels closed⠀⇛ Twenty-four United Nations (UN) entities combined to form a strong front calling for immediate action to protect women and girls and prevent the use of sexual violence in and around internally displaced persons (IDPs) camps in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). # ⚓ Defence Web ☛ [Old]_Third_DR_Congo_provincial_transition team_up_and_running⠀⇛ Now in its thirteenth year of existence, the United Nations (UN) mission in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has for the past three years worked at “transformation” of the world body’s presence rather than a handover. # ⚓ Five-year-old_playing_with_the_rifle_at_home_kills_two- year-old_sister⠀⇛ Despite medical intervention at the hospital, D.Ç. could not be saved. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Gabon_Coup:_Military_Officers_Seize_Power From_Ali_Bongo⠀⇛ The coup was announced hours after President Ali Bongo Ondimba, whose family has controlled the country for a half-century, was declared to have been re-elected for a third term in a disputed election. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Gabon_opposition_urges_military_junta_to_hand power_back_to_civilians⠀⇛ Pressure mounted on coup leaders in Gabon to hand back power to a civilian government on Friday, two days after they overthrew President Ali Bongo and announced their own head of state. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Taiwan_hopes_Pope’s_China_engagement helps_‘worsening’_religious_freedom⠀⇛ The Vatican is one of only 13 countries to maintain formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan. # ⚓ The Strategist ☛ Why_Japan_and_South_Korea_care_about Taiwan⠀⇛ A piece missing from Australian conversations on the China–US tangle over Taiwan is the island’s growing strategic importance to other countries in the region. # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ US_approves_first_arms_to_Taiwan under_foreign_aid_program⠀⇛ President Joe Biden’s administration has for the first time approved direct US military aid to Taiwan under an assistance program aimed at foreign governments, officials said Wednesday, as worries grow over China. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Lawyer_For_Mahsa_Amini’s_Family_Faces_‘Propaganda Against_The_System’_Trial_In_Tehran⠀⇛ The trial has begun in Tehran’s Islamic Revolutionary Court of Mohammad Saleh Nikbakht — the famed lawyer for the family of the 22-year-old Iranian woman whose death in police custody has led to months of mass protests, local media reported on August 30. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ US_to_Build_Robot_Army_to_Counter_China’s Growing_Power⠀⇛ “The age of warfighting robots is upon us.” # § Russia, Belarus, and War in Ukraine⠀➾ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ New_video_appears_to_show_Yevgeny_Prigozhin in_Africa_days_before_his_death_—_Meduza⠀⇛ o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ FBI_Joins_Investigation_Of_LAPD_Gang_Unit Officers_Who_Did_Their_Own_Selective_Editing_Of_Body_Cam Recordings⠀⇛ If you’ve done nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide, right? That’s what law enforcement and surveillance agencies tell us, coaxing us into letting our guard down so they can dig into our stuff without worrying about little things like probable cause. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Typhoon_Saola_weakens_but_still_a threat_in_southern_China⠀⇛ Tens of millions of people in the densely populated coastal areas of southern China had sheltered indoors on Friday. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Hong_Kong_hunkers_down_as_Super_Typhoon_Saola barrels_toward_southern_China⠀⇛ Tens of millions of people in Hong Kong, Shenzhen and other southern Chinese megacities sheltered indoors Friday as Super Typhoon Saola threatened to become the strongest storm to hit the region in decades. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ Helsinki Times ☛ EU_trade_balance_rebounds_to_€1 billion_surplus_as_energy_prices_decline⠀⇛ The European Union’s trade balance has made a noteworthy turnaround in the second quarter of 2023, transitioning from six consecutive quarters of deficit to a surplus, primarily attributed to a reduction in energy costs. The latest report released by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, revealed this promising shift in trade dynamics. Trade data from the second quarter of 2023 indicated a decline of 2.0 percent in exports and 3.5 percent in imports, resulting in a modest trade surplus of €1 billion. # ⚓ DeSmog ☛ Two-Thirds_of_Conservative_Endowment_Fund Directors_Are_Linked_to_Fossil_Fuels_and_Polluting Industries⠀⇛ Two-thirds of the directors who run the Conservative Party’s multi-million-pound endowment fund have interests in fossil fuel firms or polluting industries, DeSmog can reveal. The Conservative Party Foundation Limited was founded in 2009 with the purpose of raising and managing “legacy funds to support the long term finance of the Conservative Party”. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Converting_Wind_To_Electricity_Or:_The Doubly-Fed_Induction_Generator⠀⇛ Humanity has been harvesting energy from the wind for centuries. The practice goes back at least to 8th century Persia where the first known historical records of windmills came, but likely extends even further back than that. Compared to the vast history of using wind energy directly to do things like mill grain, pump water, saw wood, or produce fabrics, the production of electricity is still relatively new. Despite that, there are some intriguing ways of using wind to produce electricity. Due to the unpredictable nature of wind from moment to moment, using it to turn a large grid-tied generator is not as straightforward as it might seem. Let’s take a look at four types of wind turbine configurations and how each deal with sudden changes in wind speeds. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Despite_green_energy_boom,_dash for_coal_clouds_China’s_climate_goals⠀⇛ China’s energy policies have a huge impact on the pace of global climate change. # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ Enbridge_Is_the_Guilty_Party,_Not_Me: Meet_the_Pipeline_Protester_Facing_5_Years_for_Peaceful Action⠀⇛ We speak with climate activist and water protector Mylene Vialard, whose trial for peacefully protesting the Enbridge Line 3 pipeline began this week in Minnesota. Vialard faces up to five years in prison for her 2021 protest, when she attached herself to a 25-foot bamboo tower erected to block a pumping station in Aitkin County. Vialard, who lives in Colorado, had come to Minnesota to take part in a wave of Indigenous-led acts of civil disobedience to stop the pipeline. Between December 2020 and September 2021, police in Minnesota made more than 1,000 arrests. Mylene Vialard is just the second water protector facing felony charges to go to trial. “We’re destroying our planet. We’re destroying our way of life,” says Vialard. We also speak with Indigenous lawyer and activist Tara Houska, who was also arrested in 2021 for participating in a nonviolent action against Line 3. She says police violence against environmental and Indigenous activists has gotten “exponentially worse” since the 2016 Dakota Access protests at Standing Rock. “The crackdown on environmental protests is nationwide,” says Houska. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Friday_Briefing:_A_Deadly_Fire_in South_Africa⠀⇛ Also, the U.S. resists engaging with the Taliban. # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ The Revelator ☛ What_Can_We_Learn_From_Jaguar_Poop?_A Lot⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Revelator ☛ Species_Spotlight:_The_Chinese_Three- Striped_Box_Turtle⠀⇛ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ We_didn’t_start_the_fire_After_Kazakhstan’s deadliest_wildfires_in_years,_locals_blame_corruption_— but_not_climate_change_—_Meduza⠀⇛ o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Second_offer_from_the_government_to_civil_servants_for_pay rise⠀⇛ The government had presented the first offer for the pay rise concerning 4 million civil servants and 2.5 million retired civil servants on August 15. # ⚓ Helsinki Times ☛ Business_climate_in_Germany’s_automotive industry_faces_continuing_decline⠀⇛ The business climate in Germany’s renowned automotive industry has taken a hit as companies report a worsening situation, as per the latest ifo Business Survey. The key indicator dropped to 12.7 points in August, a significant decline from the 22.1 points recorded in July. Analysts have noted that this decline has been most pronounced among automakers, while suppliers, in contrast, have remained relatively content with their present circumstances. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Johor’s_Forest_City_teeters_over_China property_giant’s_woes⠀⇛ The project’s future is in doubt because of financial problems. # ⚓ RFA ☛ Safe-as-houses_Country_Garden_posts_record_loss⠀⇛ In a further blow for China’s property market, Evergrande’s bigger rival feels the pinch. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ China_will_widen_market_access_for_the service_industry:_President_Xi⠀⇛ Mr Xi said China would also focus on reforming the country’s basic data system. # ⚓ The Strategist ☛ Is_China’s_economy_about_to_go_bust?⠀⇛ Australia is more exposed to a downturn in the Chinese economy than any other advanced country.

The latter are out of control of both the readers and the publishers. They are, in other words, sources of interference.]⠀⇛ Welp, here we go again. Last month I wrote about how Techdirt had been deleted from both Bing and DuckDuckGo. Over on the discussion at HackerNews, DDG’s CEO and founder, Gabriel Weinberg, jumped in to the conversation to note that this wasn’t intentional (which we never suspected it was). The resulting conversation on HackerNews is actually pretty interesting, as it appears there was some level of misunderstanding among many users about how much DuckDuckGo relies on Bing for its underlying web search. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ Axios ☛ Former_NYT,_BBC_executive_Mark_Thompson_to_lead_CNN [Ed: The man who outsourced BillBC to Microsoft]⠀⇛ Warner_Bros._Discovery (WBD) on Wednesday announced that former New York Times and BBC executive Mark Thompson will lead CNN as the network’s new worldwide chairman and CEO.

With its population outstripping even that of Shanghai’s 24.89 million and Beijing’s 21.88 million, Chongqing’s move sets an impactful precedent for other major Chinese cities. # ⚓ Reason ☛ Saudi_Sentenced_to_Death_for_Tweets_Criticizing Government⠀⇛ From a Thursday article by CNN (Hande Atay Alam & Celine Alkhaldi): Muhammad al-Ghamdi, a 54-year-old retired Saudi teacher, was sentenced “following 5 tweets criticizing corruption and human rights violations,” his brother Saeed bin Nasser al-Ghamdi tweeted last week. # ⚓ Craig Murray ☛ Submission_to_the_United_Nations⠀⇛ The complaint to the United Nations against my imprisonment for contempt of court has now been submitted. This is the first time I have been able to state the case without the compulsory use of Scottish counsel, who were astonishingly timid of criticising Lady Dorrian or detailing Sturgeon’s conspiracy, its personnel, and how it worked. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Court_Tosses_Arkansas_Age_Verification_Law_For Violating_The_1st_Amendment⠀⇛ Just after a judge granted an injunction against Texas’ adult content age verification law on 1st Amendment grounds, a judge in Arkansas did the same to that state’s social media age verification law. Trade organization NetChoice had challenged the law, and the court basically gave them a complete and total victory. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ UK_Government_Serves_Up_Possibly-Illegal Amendments_To_The_Investigatory_Powers_Act⠀⇛ For years, the UK government has sought to expand its surveillance powers. And, for years, it has rarely been prevented from doing so. Sure, there’s been a bunch of bureaucratic inactivity and unforced errors (like Brexit) that make it a bit more difficult to push legislation through, but the UK government’s thirst for more power has never been slaked. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Ohio_Court_Tells_Cops_They_Need_To_Know_The_Law If_They’re_Going_To_Engage_In_Pretextual_Stops⠀⇛ Pretextual stops are law enforcement’s favorite way to fish for larger catches. Any minor moving violation can predicate a stop. That leads to conversations — often non-consensual — with drivers and passengers. Any number of factors can be opportunistically read by officers to add up to “reasonable suspicion.” # ⚓ Site36 ☛ Radical_thoughts:_“Ask_the_State”_publishes_court investigation_files_on_the_Last_Generation⠀⇛ # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ My_Homeland_Is_Being_Ruled_by_Terror._The World_Must_Pay_Attention.⠀⇛ Myanmar’s military junta is committing indiscriminate atrocities.

According to the state governor’s own statements, it appeared clear “hundreds” of troopers faked “tens of thousands” of traffic stops in order to make it look like they weren’t just targeting minorities with pretextual stops. # ⚓ RFA ☛ Rights_groups_blast_UN_for_inaction_on_China’s repression_in_Xinjiang⠀⇛ China’s clout at the UN makes it hard to press Beijing, analysts say a year after the damning report was released. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ UN_says_pushing_for_action_on_alleged abuses_in_China’s_Xinjiang⠀⇛ UN’s 2022 report detailed alleged violations against Uighurs, other Muslim minorities in Xinjiang. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ U.S._Officials_Have_Visited_China._Will Beijing_Send_Anyone?⠀⇛ Such visits could help convey Beijing’s interest in stabilizing ties with Washington. But China has been noncommittal. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Techno_Moral_Panics_Are_Making_Senators Desperately_Ridiculous⠀⇛ Senator Chris Murphy from Connecticut wrote an NY Times op-ed piece a few weeks ago (there’s so much nonsense all the time that it takes a little while to find the time to respond to all of it), claiming that “Algorithms are Making Kids Desperately Unhappy.” He wrote this in support of his “The Protecting Kids on Social Media Act” (a ridiculous unconstitutional monstrosity we discussed earlier this year). # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Comcast,_AT&T_Try_To_Kill_New_Requirements_To_Be Transparent_About_Their_Shitty_Pricing⠀⇛ The 2021 infrastructure bill did some very good things for broadband. Not only did it include a massive, $42 billion investment in broadband deployment and require better mapping, it demanded that the FCC impose a new “nutrition label for broadband,” requiring that ISPs be transparent about all of the weird restrictions, caps, fees, and limitations of modern broadband connections. o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ The_McDonald’s_Ice_Cream_Machine_Saga_And_Calls For_Right_To_Repair⠀⇛ Raising a likely somewhat contentious topic, iFixit and Public Knowledge have challenged the manufacturer behind McDonald’s ice cream machines to make them easy to diagnose and repair . This is a subject that’s probably familiar to anyone who is vaguely familiar with US news and the importance of ice cream at McDonald’s locations to the point that a live tracker was set up so that furtive customers can catch a glimpse at said tracker before finding themselves staring in dismay at an ‘Out of Order’ sign on one of these Taylor ice cream machines. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3766 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 09.04.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Links_04/09/2023:_Qubes_OS_4.2.0_RC3_and_Xubuntu_Development_Update⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 8:38 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * GNU/Linux o Audiocasts/Shows o Applications o Instructionals/Technical o WINE_or_Emulation o Desktop_Environments/WMs # K_Desktop_Environment/KDE_SC/Qt * Distributions_and_Operating_Systems o New_Releases o PCLinuxOS/Mageia/Mandriva/OpenMandriva_Family o SUSE/OpenSUSE o Fedora_Family_/_IBM o Canonical/Ubuntu_Family o Devices/Embedded o Open_Hardware/Modding o Mobile_Systems/Mobile_Applications * Free,_Libre,_and_Open_Source_Software o SaaS/Back_End/Databases o Productivity_Software/LibreOffice/Calligra * Leftovers o Hardware o Health/Nutrition/Agriculture o Security # Privacy/Surveillance o Defence/Aggression * Environment o Energy/Transportation * Finance * AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics * Censorship/Free_Speech * Civil_Rights/Policing * Internet_Policy/Net_Neutrality * Monopolies o Patents o Copyrights * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ Tux Digital ☛ This_Week_in_Linux_232:_Linux_6.5,_Valve Proton,_Future_of_Ubuntu,_CIQ_Sued_&_more_Linux_news!⠀⇛ Welcome to This Week in Linux (232).

These files dictate how the PostgreSQL server operates, how it connects with client applications, and many other aspects of database behavior. # ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_use_dynamic_inventories_in_Ansible Automation⠀⇛ Dynamic inventories in the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform revolutionize the way to manage infrastructure in the cloud. Instead of relying on static inventories that require manual updates when virtual machines (VMs) are launched, terminated, or replaced, dynamic inventories automatically discover and run VMs across any cloud provider. This means that when you delete an old VM and launch a new one, Ansible Automation Platform seamlessly adapts and performs actions on the updated infrastructure without requiring manual intervention. By harnessing dynamic inventories, the Ansible Automation Platform empowers cloud administrators and DevOps teams to effortlessly manage and orchestrate on-demand cloud resources. This article explores the power of dynamic inventories, focusing on their utilization with AWS as the cloud provider. While applicable to any cloud provider, we showcase seamless AWS infrastructure management using dynamic inventories. We will demonstrate how to create EC2 instances, fetching details with dynamic inventory and running scripts for system health insights. By following these examples, you’ll gain hands-on experience in effectively managing and monitoring your cloud infrastructure using dynamic inventories within the Ansible Automation Platform. # ⚓ Kevin Norman ☛ Getting_the_mutant_home_server_gaming_in_a VM⠀⇛ This post is the second part in a series I am working on. See the first part here: Home_Lab Upgrades:_Why_This_Mutant_Motherboard/CPU_Combo Could_Be_the_Perfect_Solution) The biggest most exciting use case for me with my new home server was a virtualised gaming environment. I’ve always wanted a living room gaming PC, but didn’t want to have a PC just for that purpose. I’ve had a home server of some sort for the last couple years, usually running some Docker containers, and I always wondered if one day, I could run Windows in a VM, with a graphics card. I can confirm that, yes, it is possible, and it works absolutely great. Before I discuss how to set this up, Let’s discuss what it’s like. # ⚓ Own HowTo ☛ How_to_fix_bash:_curl:_command_not_found_on Linux⠀⇛ curl is a command line app that allows you to transfer data from your terminal.

When developing Java applications on Linux, one critical decision emerges: the choice of a Java Development Kit (JDK). Two prominent options stand before developers—Oracle JDK and OpenJDK. o § WINE or Emulation⠀➾ # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ DXVK_2.3_Improves_Performance_in_Tomb_Raider Anniversary_and_Fixes_Many_Bugs⠀⇛ DXVK 2.3 is here almost four months after DXVK 2.2 to improve the presentation functionality by signaling frame latency events when an image is actually being presented, but only if the VK_KHR_present_wait Vulkan extension is supported and vertical synchronization is enabled. On Linux, this requires Gamescope. According to the release notes, this functionality is also used to more accurately report the number of frames that are actually being presented via DXGI frame statistics. Additionally, on systems where the VK_EXT_swapchain_maintenance1 Vulkan extension is supported, there’s no longer a need for recreating the Vulkan swap chain to enable and disable vertical synchronization. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Harald Sitter ☛ Debugging_App_Crashes_on_Windows [Ed: KDE wasting time and resources working for Microsoft]⠀⇛ The other week the question came up how one can debug an application crash when the Windows Store crash tracking system is unable to produce a usable stack trace. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § New Releases⠀➾ # ⚓ Qubes_OS_4.2.0-rc3_is_available_for_testing⠀⇛ We’re pleased to announce that the third release candidate_(RC) for Qubes OS 4.2.0 is now available for testing. The ISO and associated verification files are available on the downloads page. § Explanation for the early RC We announced_RC2 approximately one week ago. Normally, RC2 would have been tested for approximately_five_weeks before we announced RC3. However, RC2 contained several bugs (listed below), some of which prevented certain users from testing it. These bugs have been fixed in RC3. We’ve decided to release RC3 early, as an exception to our usual policy, in order to get these fixes out as quickly as possible so that more users can test 4.2 for longer before the eventual stable release. § Main changes from RC2 to RC3 o § PCLinuxOS/Mageia/Mandriva/OpenMandriva Family⠀➾ # ⚓ PCLOS Official ☛ New_Web_Browser_Updates_Available⠀⇛ chromium-ungoogled-browser-116.0.5845.110- 1pclos2023.x86_64.rpmmicrosoft-edge-browser- 116.0.1938.69-1pclos2023.x86_64.rpmvivaldi-browser- 6.2.3105.45-1pclos2023.x86_64.rpmbrave-browser- 1.57.57-1pclos2023.x86_64.rpmopera-browser- 102.0.4880.29-1pclos2023.x86_64.rpmfirefox-117.0- 1pclos2023.x86_64.rpmwaterfox-G-browser-5.1.12- 1pclos2023.x86_64.rpm o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ SUSE’s Corporate Blog ☛ SUSE_Linux_Enterprise_Micro_5.5 Public_Beta_is_out!⠀⇛ We are thrilled to announce the Public Beta of SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.5!

Right now, the Fedora KDE Spin is using the Anaconda installer, just like all the other Fedora Linux editions. According to the release notes, this functionality is also used to more accurately report the number of frames that are actually being presented via DXGI frame statistics. Additionally, on systems where the VK_EXT_swapchain_maintenance1 Vulkan extension is supported, there’s no longer a need for recreating the Vulkan swap chain to enable and disable vertical synchronization. # ⚓ Fedora Project ☛ Fedora_Community_Blog:_CPE_Weekly_update_– Week_35_2023⠀⇛ This is a weekly report from the CPE (Community Platform Engineering) Team. If you have any questions or feedback, please respond to this report or contact us on #redhat-cpe channel on libera.chat. # ⚓ Fedora Magazine ☛ Fedora_Magazine:_Fedora_libostree_Post- Installation_Setup,_Modifications,_and_Tips_and_Tricks⠀⇛ ✐ What is Fedora libostree (Silverblue/Kinoite/ Sericia)?⠀✐ Fedora Linux’s libostree variants such as Fedora Silverblue (GNOME desktop environment) and Fedora Kinoite (KDE desktop environment) as well as Fedora Sericia (Sway window manager) are new variants of Fedora Linux that use the rpm-ostree command to perform atomic upgrades. Consider a normal Fedora Linux installation. During an upgrade, a package manager such as DNF grabs the packages, combines them then installs them on your system. A libostree or “image-based” OS, on the other hand, is an immutable system. It fetches the image and “layers” it on top of the current one during an upgrade, providing more robust and reliable system upgrades. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Sean_Davis:_Xubuntu_Development_Update_September_2023⠀⇛ September has arrived and cooler days are finally ahead of us in the northern hemisphere. Development on the 23.10 release, “Mantic Minotaur”, has been progressing nicely with numerous updates to report. ✐ Color Emoji Have Arrived⠀✐ Font updates made to the desktop-common seed on August_21 added the fonts-noto-color-emoji package to all Ubuntu flavors, including Xubuntu.

What if you could codify all your operational knowledge so software can run it for you? That’s exactly what software operators are about.  Software operators encapsulate business logic in reusable software packages that automate every aspect of an application’s lifecycle. Today, they are crucial in the Kubernetes landscape, and an indispensable tool in every SRE / Devops engineer’s toolbox.  Canonical offers a toolkit to build software operators or charms, and an orchestration engine that enables their deployment, integration and lifecycle management, called Juju.  o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ 8_Unbelievable_Single_Board_Computer_Linux_for_2023⠀⇛ Introducing the mind-blowing world of single board computers and Linux operating systems for the year 2023.

We were to travel with another couple, good friends of ours that we’ve known for many years. We were to take an early flight this morning, and they live much close to the airport than we do, so we arranged to stay at their house last night in order to cut down on driving time. We met up with them the two of them and the husband’s parents, had dinner, and got ready to retire for the evening. Ten minutes a later, a knock on the bedroom door. The wife received a message from one of her coworkers informing her that the person had tested positive for COVID-19. She’d been suffering from a stuffy nose and fatigue herself, so she took a home rapid test. The result was clear and immediate: positive. Of course the rest of us had been exposed to her for several hours by now, so we had to cancel the entire trip. # ⚓ Updates⠀⇛ I’ve done a pretty lousy job keeping this thing active over the summer. This last week was my first week at university, California State University Sacramento, home of the hornets! I’ve really enjoyed my first week there, just walking around, checking out what all is there to do, since we haven’t had a ton of homework fortunately. I like all my professors so far and my schedule, although starting a bit earlier than I’d prefer, fits really well with my work schedule while giving me a couple hours each day to work on things there, without distractions. Yesterday I went to Lake Berryessa with my high school friends and had a blast. Chad’s parents are wealthy and have a boat and two jet-skis, though we only used the latter which was absolutely phenomenal. Going 50 mph on an open body of water, the wind whipping your face, shooting into the air, there’s nothing quite like it. I should buy a jet- ski. It was my first time using one but I got the hang of it pretty much immediately. I do wish I wore more sunscreen though, I’m as red as a tomato today and my skin hurts. # ⚓ Back_to_classics:_The_Picture_of_Dorian_Gray⠀⇛ Every once in a while I like to pull out an old classic book. (I only really read a book “every once in a while” though, so this is a pretty large portion of my overall reading). I’m also rather excited to start tracking my reading here, and hopeful I’ll read more as a result. Readability has been dead to me for a long time, and lately bookwyrm wasn’t cutting it either. The old masters of English literature are considered so for a reason, and I’m always pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoy them. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Gopher_item_types:_A_Gemini_miss?⠀⇛ Hardly new, I know – a geminaut questions a design decision in the protocol. I came to the small web a little backwards. I discovered Gemini via the tildeverse a little over a year ago, quickly created this ~/ public_gemini directory and got posting, responding to others’ posts, and finding their responses on Cosmos. # ⚓ Slowing⠀⇛ Since 2005, I have calculated that I have written about one blog post every4 days. Remember that I had a break between august 1st August and .. August 20 (I’m talking about my French blog, cheziceman.fr). Oh no !! The reality is that I haven’t written any article since February. All the articles published on my old blog were written months or weeks before. I’m like that, I love to write and have lots of ideas for posts. That’s why I was an editor in a french webzine for 3 years. It’s not the same one anymore…But after 15 years, a break of 6 month was a good thing. I decided to do something different, a challenge (I’m a challenge guy :p ) but I see I’m in the same rhythm as before. I’m always writing drafts with some ideas for a future post and you can’t imagine what a mess it is. …Maybe 6 months of posts (on two sites) if I slow down. Yes the idea was to slow down (a fantastic song by Morcheeba, by the way…) =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

There are several reasons for this. I’ve always told that working on real-world projects is a vast source of ideas. Moving to Developer Advocacy, I’ve widened the list of topics I’m familiar with but cut myself from this source. However, I would prefer to reduce the pace of the weekly post. o ⚓ New York Times ☛ Trapped_by_Rain_and_Mud,_Attendees_at_Burning Man_Fest_Bear_Down,_and_Many_Party_On⠀⇛ Thousands of people at the Burning Man festival, an annual carefree celebration of art, music and counterculture vibes in a remote patch of Nevada desert, remained stranded there Sunday after torrential rains turned roads and grounds into muck, cutting off access. It was an unusual turn of events that tested the resolve of participants, who were told to conserve food and water, at the more than three-decade-old festival that prides itself on grit and self-reliance and normally battles excessive heat and, sometimes, excessive partying. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ If_You_Aren’t_Making_Your_Own_Relays…⠀⇛ We’ve all been there. Someone will say something like, “I remember when we had to put our programs on a floppy disk…” Then someone will interrupt: “Floppy disk? We would have killed for floppy disks. We used paper tape…” After a few rounds, someone is talking about punching cards with a hand stylus or something. Next time someone is telling you about their relay computer, maybe ask them if they are buying their relays already built. They will almost surely say yes, and then you can refer them to [DiodeGoneWild], who shows how he is making his own relays. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Modding_A_Nerf_Blaster_The_Old_Fashioned_Way⠀⇛ The Pistol Splat was a very weak blaster built for children, designed to shoot toy-grade paintball-like ammunition. [Matt Yuan] recognised the potential of the single-shot design, though, and repurposed it as a powerful Nerf blaster. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ WhichUK ☛ 5_ways_to_make_the_most_of_a_computer_monitor⠀⇛ See how computer monitors can be good for productivity, the planet, your pocket and your health # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Allwinner_2023-2024_roadmap_reveals_A736/ A737_Arm_Cortex-A78/A76_processors⠀⇛ Allwinner should launch new Cortex-A78/A55 and Cortex-A78/A55 processors in 2024 according to the company’s roadmap including the Allwinner A736/A737 for tablets and the T736/T737 designed for automotive and industrial applications. In recent years, we’ve seen Rockchip and Amlogic introduce more powerful processors with the Rockchip RK3588 octa-core Cortex-A76/A55 processor and Amlogic A311D2 octa-core Cortex-A73/A55 or the more recent Amlogic S928X Cortex-A76/A55 for 8K TV boxes. But we’re still seeing some recent boards based on Allwinner Cortex-A7 32-bit processors, although recently we covered the Allwinner A523 octa-core Cortex-A55 processor for tablets. So today, I decided to go on a quest to find out whether Allwinner plans to use 64-bit Arm “big” cores in their future design. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Tiny_Drone_Racing_Gate_Records_Your_Best_Laps⠀⇛ Professional drone racing is now an elite sport, with all the high-end tech, coverage, and equipment that goes along with it. If you’re just practicing with tiny drones in your home though, you might not be so well equipped. You might want to build something like this tiny FPV drone racing gate from [ProfessorBoots] to help keep track of laptimes while you’re training. # ⚓ Interesting Engineering ☛ FAA_warns_of_possible_defect_in Boeing_777_engines⠀⇛ The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new proposal to address a potential defect in some of the engines that power Boeing 777 aircraft. The defect is related to a substance called ‘iron inclusion’ that could affect the quality and durability of certain compressor components. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Samsung_teases_1TB_DDR5_modules_with launch_of_32Gb_die⠀⇛ The Korean giant has mass-produced 16Gb DRAM since May 2023, and claimed its new and denser product “paves way to DRAM modules of up to 1TB capacity” without offering any hint of a roadmap or timeframe for those colosso-modules to debut. # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ Intel_To_Spend_$9.7_Billion_On_TSMC Outsourcing_In_2025:_Goldman_Sachs⠀⇛ The analysis from Goldman Sachs indicates that the overall market potential for Intel’s outsourcing orders in 2024 and 2025 is projected to be $18.6 billion and $19.4 billion, respectively. This means a hypothetical situation in which Intel outsources all of its products, which is hardly a possible scenario. According to Goldman Sachs, in a more realistic turn of events, TSMC might land $5.6 billion and $9.7 billion of orders from Intel in 2024 – 2025. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Long_Covid_Poses_Special_Challenges_for Seniors⠀⇛ Older people are less likely to be diagnosed but more likely to experience certain kinds of illnesses, research suggests. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Toxic_is_toxic:_Your_lungs_at_threat,_no amount_of_air_pollution_is_less⠀⇛ Pulmonologists across the city have warned that no amount of air pollution is safe and prolonged exposure to it can exacerbate asthma and bronchitis and reduce lung function over time. They have advocated the immediate need to mitigate the impact of air pollution on life expectancy by implementing environmental regulations, improving fuel quality, promoting electric vehicles and raising awareness about the health risks associated with air pollution. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Viral_Origins_of_Chronic_Fatigue_Syndrome May_Be_Hiding_in_Plain_Sight⠀⇛ But people might be buoyed by the efforts of researchers like Maureen Hanson, a molecular biologist at Cornell University who has revisited the viral origins of chronic fatigue syndrome (also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis, or ME/CFS) in a new paper. Historical evidence suggests large numbers of ME/ CFS cases are likely to have been triggered by viral infections. The question is which virus is the likely culprit. # ⚓ Substack Inc ☛ I_Had_a_Helicopter_Mom._I_Found_Pornhub Anyway.⠀⇛ There is no porn that’s okay for children and teens. Not even “feminist” porn. Here’s why: A recent Cambridge University study shows that porn’s effects on the brain are neurochemically identical to drug addiction. It’s as much a dangerous substance as illicit drugs. When someone consumes an addictive drug, a hit of dopamine, the pleasure hormone, releases into the bloodstream. The brain loves dopamine and wants to repeat the feeling, leading to cravings and eventually addiction. This “gratification hypothesis,” according to a University of Duisburg–Essen study, is why cybersex addiction occurs. But some, including Nadine Strossen, the former national president of the ACLU, argue that minors’ access to porn content is a “free speech” issue, noting young people have a constitutional right to information about sexual health. They are wrong. Porn is not about sexual health. Nor is it “content.” It’s a substance. o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Patient_dies_after_Cruise_vehicles allegedly_block_ambulance_in_San_Francisco⠀⇛ Two autonomous vehicles belonging to Cruise LLC, a unit of General Motors Co., are alleged to have delayed an ambulance in San Francisco on Aug. 14, with the patient later dying in hospital. The incident, which Cruise disputes, allegedly involved two Cruise autonomous vehicles that were stopped in two right-hand lanes on a four-lane, one-way street where the victim was found after an apparent collision by another car, according to a San Francisco Fire Department report reported Saturday by the New York Times. It’s alleged that a police vehicle in another lane then had to be moved to allow the ambulance to leave. # ⚓ Microsoft_Cloud_tools_vendor_Skykick_streamlines operations,_lays_off_140_staff⠀⇛ While the statement did not specify the exact percentage of employees affected by the layoffs or provide a final headcount post-layoff, it did disclose that a total of 140 employees were released globally, with 98 of these individuals located in the United States. SkyKick’s LinkedIn profile indicates an employee count of approximately 320. However, it remains unclear whether this figure represents the workforce before or after the recent reduction. In 2021, the company secured $130 million in a financing round and had approximately 250 employees at that time. This suggests that there has been notable growth and changes in the company’s staffing levels over recent years, culminating in the recent workforce reduction. According to its website, the vendor boasts a global network of over 30,000 partners. The information provided by an online database from the state of Washington suggests that 181 employees were let go, but this figure has been deemed inaccurate according to the statement from SkyKick. Additionally, it has been reported that the vendor conducted layoffs in March of an undisclosed number of employees, as reported by the Puget Sound Business Journal. o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Open Source Security (Audio Show) ☛ Free_Software_Security Podcast_Episode_391_–_The_WordPress_100_year_disaster recovery_problem⠀⇛ Josh and Kurt talk about wordpress selling web services with a 100 year lifespan. Will WordPress still be around in 100 years? What would 100 years of disaster recovery look like? Most of us will never need to think about 100 years of disaster recovery. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Ban_Online_Porn_for_Kids⠀⇛ This is not a partisan issue. In Louisiana, for example, a legislator named Laurie Schlegel introduced an age verification bill that, as Politico reported, “sailed through” the State House 96 to 1 and the State Senate 34 to 0. I’ve never met any parents, no matter how conservative or how progressive, how religious or how secular, who wanted their children to be able to view graphic porn. Moreover, even the judge who blocked the Texas law observed, “It is uncontested that pornography is generally inappropriate for children, and the state may regulate a minor’s access to pornography.” Thus, our nation’s challenge is more technical than constitutional. The best way to understand the court’s old precedents regarding online age verification to get access to pornography is not that it said “no” but rather that it said “not yet.” But now is the time, the need is clear, and the technology is ready. Congress should try once again to clean up the internet the way cities cleaned up their red-light districts. The law must do what it can to restrict access to pornography for children online. # ⚓ Data Breaches ☛ Maker_of_‘smart’_chastity_cage_left users’_emails,_passwords,_and_locations_exposed⠀⇛ Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai reports on yet another incident in which responsible disclosure by a researcher and follow-up by media failed to get a company to address vulnerabilities that left the personal information of customers exposed: [...] # ⚓ Futurism ☛ The_NYPD_Says_It’s_Going_to_Spy_on_Labor Day_Parties_Using_Drones⠀⇛ As the Associated Press reports, the NYPD plans to use its drone fleet to surveil large crowds this weekend, including those congregating at private backyard events. Per the AP, the news was announced during a press conference regarding safety at the Caribbean J’Ouvert celebration and the West Indian American Day parade, two converging events taking place in Brooklyn over the holiday weekend. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ France24 ☛ Dozens_of_civilians_killed_in_past_two_days_in Sudan’s_Khartoum⠀⇛ Five civilians were killed by bombs that “fell on their homes” in Khartoum, a Sudanese medical source told AFP, a day after an air strike in the city’s south killed at least 20 civilians. # ⚓ France24 ☛ France’s_public_schools_will_enforce_dress_code banning_Islamic_abayas,_says_Macron⠀⇛ French students won’t get past the door if they show up for school wearing long robes, President Emmanuel Macron made clear Friday, saying authorities would be “intractable” in enforcing a new rule when classes resume next week. # § Russia, Belarus, and War in Ukraine⠀➾ # ⚓ NYPost ☛ Ukraine_replaces_defense_minister_as Zelensky_vows_crackdown_on_wartime_corruption⠀⇛ Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced plans to replace his defense minister — a major administration shake-up coming just over a month after he vowed to crack down on wartime corruption. Zelensky said during his nightly address to the nation Sunday that he was dismissing Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov and would appoint Ukraine’s State Property Fund… # ⚓ France24 ☛ 🔴_Live:_Zelensky_discusses_‘functioning’ of_Black_Sea_grain_corridor_with_Macron⠀⇛ Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and French President Emmanuel Macron spoke Sunday, discussing the “functioning” of a Black Sea corridor set up by Kyiv for the safe navigation of ships after Moscow exited a landmark grain deal. The news comes after Romania’s defence ministry strongly condemned repeated Russian attacks on Ukraine’s Danube River infrastructure close to its border. # ⚓ JURIST ☛ Ukraine_tycoon_arrested_for_fraud_and_money laundering_during_anti-corruption_investigation⠀⇛ Ukraine’s main security agency, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), published a statement on Saturday handing criminal charges to Ihor Kolomoisky related to money laundering and fraud in his oil and gas holdings. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ ‘New_Approaches_Needed’:_Zelenskiy_To_Replace Ukraine’s_Defense_Minister_In_Surprise_Move⠀⇛ Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said late on September 3 that he has decided to replace Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov with Rustem Umerov, a Ukrainian politician of Crimean Tatar origin, in a surprising move as Kyiv’s forces press on with their counteroffensive against Russia’s invasion. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Zelensky_Says_He’ll_Replace_Oleksii Reznikov_as_Ukraine’s_Defense_Minister⠀⇛ The fate of the defense minister, Oleksii Reznikov, had been the subject of increasing speculation in Ukraine. It was the biggest shake-up in Ukraine’s government since Russia’s full-scale invasion. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Ukraine_Claims_Landing_Craft_In_Black_Sea Destroyed,_Six_Russians_Killed⠀⇛ The Ukrainian Navy claimed its forces had blasted a Russian landing craft in the Black Sea, killing six soldiers, hours after Kyiv said its air-defense systems had shot down 22 of the 25 Iranian-made Shahed drones that Moscowa launched on the southern Odesa region near the Romanian border. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Zelenskiy,_Macron_Discuss_Grain,_Odesa Security_In_Phone_Call⠀⇛ Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s office said he discussed the transport of Ukrainian grain exports and the security of the Odesa region in a phone call with French leader Emmanuel Macron on September 3. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Ukraine_Says_It’s_Received_$100_Billion_In Military_Aid_From_Western_Backers⠀⇛ Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said in an interview published on September 3 that since the Russian invasion, Kyiv has received about $100 billion in military aid from Western backers, including more than $50 billion from the United States. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ South_African_Inquiry_Rebuts_U.S. Charge_on_Russian_Arms⠀⇛ A government investigation about a Russian ship contradicts U.S. accusations that South Africa provided arms to fight Ukraine, President Cyril Ramaphosa said. But a government report won’t be released, he added. # ⚓ JURIST ☛ Russia_labels_Nobel_Prize-winning_journalist a_‘foreign_agent’⠀⇛ The Russian Ministry of Justice designated Dmitry Muratov, a Nobel Peace Prize winner and reputed journalist, as a ‘foreign agent‘ on Friday. This classification was justified on the grounds that Muratov “used foreign platforms to disseminate opinions aimed at forming a negative attitude towards the foreign and domestic policy of the Russian Federation.” # ⚓ RFERL ☛ South_Africa_Says_Inquiry_Found_No_Evidence Of_Arms_Shipment_To_Russia⠀⇛ South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on September 3 said an inquiry into a U.S. allegation that a Russian ship had picked up weapons in South Africa late last year found no evidence the vessel had transported weapons to Russia. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Armenian_PM_Says_Depending_Solely_On_Russia For_Security_Was_‘Strategic_Mistake’⠀⇛ Armenia’s prime minister has said his country’s policy of solely relying on Russia to guarantee its security was a strategic mistake because Moscow has been unable to deliver and is in the process of winding down its role in the wider region. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Moldovan_President_Says_Audit_Disproves_$800 Million_Gazprom_Debt_Claim⠀⇛ An audit carried out by an international firm has disproved Russian gas giant Gazprom’s claim that the Moldovan government owes it $800 million, Moldovan President Maia Sandu was quoted as saying on September 3. # ⚓ JURIST ☛ Belarus_court_delivers_prison_sentence_to journalist_accused_of_facilitating_‘extremist activities’⠀⇛ A court in Gomel, a southeastern city in Belarus, sentenced journalist Larysa Schchyrakova to 3.5 years in prison and a fine of 3,700 rubles (US$1465) on Thursday. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ ‘Just_an_ordinary_guy’:_How_a_young_Russian man_fled_violence_in_Syria,_faced_political_charges_in Moscow,_won_asylum_in_Estonia,_and_joined_the_war_on the_side_of_Ukraine_—_Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Russian_authorities_report_attempted_drone attacks_on_Kursk_and_Belgorod_regions_—_Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Ukraine_shoots_down_22_drones_launched_by Russia_in_overnight_attack_on_Odesa_region_—_Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ U.K._Defense_Ministry:_Russia_recruits foreign_nationals_and_migrants_from_Central_Asia_to avoid_domestic_mobilization_before_upcoming_elections_— Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Ukrainian_general_says_troops_have_breached Russia’s_first_line_of_defense_on_southern_front_— Meduza⠀⇛ o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ Omicron Limited ☛ After_studying_more_than_1,500_coastal ecosystems,_researchers_say_they_will_drown_if_we_let_the world_warm_above_2C⠀⇛ While the resilience of these ecosystems is impressive, it is not without limits. Defining the upper limits to mangrove and marsh resilience under accelerating sea level rise is a topic of great interest and considerable debate. Our new research, published in the journal Nature, analyzes the vulnerability and exposure of mangroves, marshes and coral islands to sea level rise. The results underscore the critical importance of keeping global warming within 2 degrees of the pre-industrial baseline. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Madrid_residents_advised_to_stay_home_as torrential_rain_sweeps_across_Spain⠀⇛ Madrid’s mayor on Sunday advised all residents to stay at home as the capital braced itself for torrential rain and storms affecting parts of Spain. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Computers Are Bad ☛ plastic_money⠀⇛ First, bit of history of the smart card. One of the reasons that smart cards have made relatively little inroads in the US is their European origin. Nearly all of the development of smart card technology happens in European companies companies like Gemplus (Netherlands) and Axalto (France), today merged into Gemalto, part of French defense conglomerate Thales. Not to be understated either is the German company Giesecke+Devriant. Many early developments happened within the French Bull group as well, which through merger into Honeywell continues to make related products. Identity technology vendor Morpho, later Safran Morphotrust, today Idemia, forms the backbone of the TSA and Border Patrol’s ubiquitous travel surveillance from their headquarters in the suburbs of Paris. They are further accused of providing identification technology to Chinese government agencies for purposes of oppression. Identity is a sticky business. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Terence Eden ☛ What_will_the_Web_be_like_in_20_years?⠀⇛ Well… fuck! Bang on the money there. The web is faster than it was on dial-up. But I can’t say that it’s noticeably better since I got ADSL. Sure, it’s faster to download big files and stream 4K video. But for day-to-day browsing? Between the unoptimised “hero” images, multi-megabytes of JS, and thousands of trackers, it sometimes feels like we’ve taken a step backwards in speed. We all know that bloat expands to fill available bandwidth. But perhaps we could rein it in a little? Please? # ⚓ The Scotsman ☛ Independence_is_Scotland’s_only_route_back into_the_European_Union_–_Alyn_Smith⠀⇛ Rejoining the EU will necessitate a real-world, hard-edged discussion about where the UK is, and what it needs to trade off in order to accept shared sovereignty. I just don’t see the political maturity in the UK to have that discussion. # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ Forbes ☛ No,_There’s_Not_An_Ebola_Outbreak_At_Burning Man⠀⇛ The rumors about an Ebola outbreak started Saturday on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. X has a crowdsourced method of fact-checking misinformation on the site known as Community Notes, but none of the tweets I’ve seen so far on Saturday have received notes. At least two accounts have shared a fake screenshot from the CDC about the fake Ebola outbreak at Burning Man, with one verified user claiming the CDC sent and deleted the tweet below. However, there’s no evidence that the CDC tweeted out anything about Ebola at Black Rock City. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ The Daily Beast ☛ Elon_Musk_Ponders_Twitter_Poll_on_Banning ADL_From_‘Free_Speech’_Site_After_#BanTheADL_Trends⠀⇛ The supposed free-speech warrior, who has reversed the Twitter bans of racist and antisemitic accounts, is now considering booting the civil rights group from the site. # ⚓ RFA ☛ China_bans_book_about_the_early_history_of_the Mongolian_people⠀⇛ The banned book, published in 2004, was previously lauded for its work in “connecting the history of Mongolia from ancient times to the medieval period, making the history of Mongolia more complete,” according to a Baidupedia entry still available on Friday. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Saudi_Dissident’s_Brother_Is_Sentenced_to Death_in_Social_Media_Case⠀⇛ A court in Saudi Arabia has sentenced to death the brother of an exiled dissident, convicting him of disloyalty to the kingdom’s rulers in a case built around anonymous social media accounts where he shared criticism of the government. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ France24 ☛ Iran_sentences_two_more_women_journalists_to jail_time_as_anniversary_of_Mahsa_Amini’s_death_nears⠀⇛ Two female Iranian journalists will spend around a month behind bars as part of a three-year partly suspended prison sentence for “conspiracy and “collusion”, local media reported on Sunday. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ JURIST ☛ Florida_judge_strikes_down_congressional_district map_for_disenfranchising_Black_voters⠀⇛ Florida Circuit Judge J. Lee Marsh declared Florida’s most recent congressional map unconstitutional on Saturday because it weakens Black voters’ ability to elect representatives of their choice. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Auto_Strike_Looms,_Threatening_to_Shut Detroit’s_Big_3⠀⇛ With their contract expiring Sept. 14, the United Auto Workers and the companies are far apart in talks. A walkout could take a big economic toll. # ⚓ The_boiling_frog_of_digital_freedom⠀⇛ Note: the dates of past events are only approximate. The other half of the timeline is wildly speculative and hypothetical. o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ # ⚓ Apple_already_shipped_attestation_on_the_web,_and_we_barely noticed⠀⇛ This feature is largely bad for the web and the industry generally, like all attestation (see below). That said, it’s not as dangerous as the Google proposal, simply because Safari isn’t the dominant browser. Right now, Safari has around 20% market share in browsers (25% on mobile, and 15% on desktop), while Chrome is comfortably above 60% everywhere, with Chromium more generally (Brave, Edge, Opera, Samsung Internet, etc) about 10% above that. With Safari providing this, it can be used by some providers, but nobody can block or behave differently with unattested clients. Similarly, Safari can’t usefully use this to tighten the screws on users – while they could refuse to attest old OS versions or browsers, it wouldn’t make a significant impact on users (they might see statistically more CAPTCHAs, but little else). Chrome’s usage is a larger concern. With 70+% of web clients using Chromium, this would become a major part of the web very quickly. With both Web Environment Integrity & Private Access Tokens, 90% of web clients would potentially be attested, and the “oh, you’re not attested, let’s treat you suspiciously” pressure could ramp up quickly. o § Monopolies⠀➾ # ⚓ Canada’s_Big_Tech_Bill_Compels_Google,_Facebook_to Compensate_Media_Houses⠀⇛ Under a legislative mandate demanding big tech corporations remunerate media houses for Canadian journalism, the federals intend for Google and Facebook to shell out $172 million and $62 million respectively in annual compensation. This proposal forms a part of the Online News Act, a policy approved during the recent summer, that mandates tech firms to negotiate agreements with media houses whose work they link or repurpose. For the first time, the government has outlined draft regulations on Friday, aiming to establish equilibrium between Big Tech and Canadian news media sector, and indicating which businesses will be included. Newly appointed Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge remarked in a post-proposal interview that the Act aims to ensure businesses benefitting most from the Canadian market, are included in the bill. # § Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Microsoft_Patents_Bizarre_AI-Powered Backpack,_Bristling_With_Sensors⠀⇛ First flagged by the MSPowerUser blog, the backpack patent, which was approved by the US Patent and Trademark Office last week, includes some very strange specs, including that the would-be wearable may be able to detect user speech and make suggestions Siri- style and also, for some reason, have the ability to record and store audio. # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Google_Preemptively_Banned_Hundreds of_Millions_of_‘Pirate’_URLs_Last_Year⠀⇛ Google remains committed to tackling online piracy. In a recent letter to the US Patent and Trademark Office, the company says that it blocked hundreds of millions of URLs before they appeared in the search engine. These preemptive takedowns are part of a broader strategy that also deals with advertisements for streaming piracy that hasn’t happened yet. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 6375 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 09.04.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Gemini_Links_04/09/2023:_Feed_Subscriptions_on_‘Small_Net’,_Why_BBS⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 11:20 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal/Opinions o Technology_and_Free_Software # Internet/Gemini * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ 04_September_2023⠀⇛ I started working more from home over the last couple of weeks and i must admit: I am beginning to like it. During covid and the various lockdowns i have also worked from home but back then i really hated it. Perhaps it was just that being “confined” to the same four walls for 24 hours a day was a bit too much for my mind, but who knows. Being more at home has also the benefit of being able to help my wife with junior, and as the company i work for has no problems with me having a baby in the arm while being in a zoom meeting everyone is happy. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Feed_Subscriptions_on_the_Small_and_Not_So_Small Net⠀⇛ The Small Net thrives to create a human-sized net devoid of any big-tech gravity. Subscribing to feeds allows for a non- infrastructural semi-network. People are somewhat connected and receive updates automatically. But currently, at least like most feed readers are setup by default and most people use it, there’s constant traffic. Requesting feeds, even though they didn’t change. The web has a HTTP 304 “Not Modified” return code, which limits the downloads somewhat, but the requests are still being sent. Gemini doesn’t have anything like that. A feed will always be downloaded. # ⚓ What_was_Inbox_Zero?⠀⇛ Of course, most of the time you can go from first-look to done immediately, by either replying right away or just ignoring/blocking the email, and that’s great, that’s healthy, but that only makes it more tricky when you do need that intermediate step for some emails. # ⚓ Re:_Why_you_no_BBS?⠀⇛ I’ve had a few Reddit accounts, and accounts on Discourse or Vanilla sites like Story- Games, and the big bad evil elephant in the room called BoardGameGeek, but I’m not happy about it. Antenna is also centralized, but since it could easily be changed to a decentralized system if Gemini space ever becomes too big, I was like “enh, it’s fine”. I follow a couple of other aggregators as well. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.
