What Happened to CNX?
Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0
http://techrights.org/videos/cnx-software.webm
🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇CNX Software⦈ Summary: The GNU/Linux userbase and the Free
software “community” (as in, people who do it for ideological reasons,
principles such as altruism, fun and sharing rather than purely for money) are
being abandoned by the media that used to cover news of interest rather than
paid-for junk (like “sponsored” placements), wrapped inside an extensive
barbwire of surveillance
THERE is a high degree of skulduggery in the GNU/Linux world, as people drift
away from the community (yes, there is actually such a thing!) and sell out to
cash-rich corporate masters. In an principled society with money-centric
upbringing it’s bound to get worse over the generations. One recent example of
that is Phoronix — a heart-breaking ‘defection’ which left us unable to even
link to it anymore (it would help interests hostile to our movement).
Techrights and/or Tux Machines were the biggest sources of traffic to Phoronix,
according to Alexa (we linked to that site around 40,000-60,000 times over the
years).
“This week we mentioned what had happened to Linux.com and over the years we
gave many other examples.”There are other kinds of betrayals which come about
more in the form of “takeover” rather than sellout. In other words, it’s a
misuse of power or change of ownership. This week we_mentioned_what_had
happened_to_Linux.com and over the years we gave many other examples. The Linux
Foundation is, in general, a_big_anti-community_force and it corrupts some
“Linux” blogs (named specifically in the video above) with its ads-as-articles
webspam. Softpedia, for instance, pretty much collapsed after it_had_mistreated
its_author_whose_section, the_“Linux”_section, brought the most traffic to
Softpedia (in fact, earlier this month Google News added his site to the index,
which he_was_exceptionally_excited_about).
“…the video above focuses on CNX Software as a cautionary tale…”It ought to be
mentioned that we’re not ‘slagging off’ every site other than us. For instance,
9 years ago we commended LinuxGizmos_(formerly_LinuxDevices), which is
mentioned at the beginning of the video above. The focus of the video is
actually none of the sites above; the video above focuses on CNX_Software as a
cautionary tale (and borderline sellout). I spoke to its founder and chief over
the years and I think he’s sincere and well-meaning in general; but like
Michael Larabel, in a desperate pursuit of money he’s making big compromises,
which in turn ruin the site and put off many readers (at least two of whom I’ve
heard from; I won’t mention names here). They don’t want Windows spam (paid-for
placements) and they worry that it has been getting worse over time. █

Summary: While laying off many workers the CEO of Mozilla piled up a lot of
tax-exempt cash, and it continued to increase in spite of criticism (the above
isn’t even the latest; it may be a lot more by now)
Also: To Mozilla we are CUSTOMERS now (“Sr. Customer Experience Program
Manager” introduced_this_week). If to Mozilla we are “customers”, then where
can we ask for refunds?

The Internet of Filth and Lies
Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0
http://techrights.org/videos/getting-news-2022.webm
Summary: We need to detoxify the Internet in order for it to be useful again;
at the moment the Web seems like almost a lost cause (for reasons we’ve noted
many times before) and Gemini already provides a bit of a safe haven, an escape
from what the Web has become
THE corporate_World_Wide_Web is no longer a reliable source of information.
This has been the case for a while now, as there’s a strong correlation to the
collapse of newsrooms and news operations in general (due to lack of funding,
which was a coordinated plot by financial entities). The vacuum leaves room not
necessarily to monopolies; it leaves_lawyers_to_lie_unchallenged and all sorts
of cranks to spread harmful disinformation, even_in_sites_like_YouTube.
“Thankfully, some alternatives do gradually emerge.”As someone who has posted
news on a daily basis, especially on technical matters, I can really tell the
difference. As noted this past weekend, a decade ago we still had some proper
investigative journalism, including on difficult topics such as patents.
Nowadays I see a lot of misinformation from mainstream media, especially the
BBC with its misinformation about Ukraine and everything when_it_comes_to
public_health (it’s motivated by the government’s agenda; reporting/data is
made to match the policy instead of policy being based on evidence/facts/data)
and there’s almost nobody in “the media” writing about important technical
news, such as important releases of GNU/Linux distros. A few blogs may mention
it for a day or two and that’s about it…
“Gemini Protocol is intentionally different. It’s not designed for clickbait
(there’s no “sidebar” in Gemini because it’s strictly linear/serial, hence no
“trending” and other distractions).”Where does this end? At the moment the
general population is severely misinformed, distracted, or both. For instance,
there’s abject gaslighting and absence of coverage about the seizure of Afghan
money at a time of famine (media watchdog FAIR has done a media survey, showing
in its assessment that lack of coverage was deliberate and politically-
motivated) and social control media gets optimised for warhawks through
clickbait. Cui bono?
Thankfully, some alternatives do gradually emerge. There’s more and more to be
found in Geminispace, including detailed weather forecasts, manpages, social
control media and so on. Gemini Protocol is intentionally different. It’s not
designed for clickbait (there’s no “sidebar” in Gemini because it’s strictly
linear/serial, hence no “trending” and other distractions).
“With at least a million pages in Geminispace (and growing fast) there’s no
lack of material, only a lack of time to explore it all.”The ambiance in
Geminispace is very different from the Web’s. There are archives_of_mailing
lists, online_profiles, collection_of_files_(much_like_Gopher_but_over_Gemini
instead), a_big_number_of_“just_a_blog”_capsules, family_stuff, a_hub_for_a
whole_bunch_of_things,_including_Mastodon_account,_code,_and_personal_updates.
There’s even a full Gemini_Wikipedia_mirror (conversions) and a growing_number
of_people_who_use_it_to_manage/share_photography. For a lot of people it’s a
place_to_share_news_they_like (or find interesting, worthy of archiving). “I am
also mirroring things I like or care about,” this_one_capsule_says. With at
least a million pages in Geminispace (and growing fast) there’s no lack of
material, only a lack of time to explore it all.
In the video above I suggest some ways to collect information through gemini:/
/ and I focus on two graphical Gemini clients. █

# ⚓ CloudReady_is_now_‘Chrome_OS_Flex,’_Google’s_free_way_to
turn_old_Macs,_PCs_into_Chromebooks⠀⇛
In December of 2020, Google acquired a Chromium-
based operating system that turns old PCs into
Chromebook-like devices. CloudReady is now becoming
“Chrome OS Flex” and is launching in early access
today.
CloudReady’s big pitch was how it extended the life
of old PCs that were no longer getting official
updates. That software is now becoming an official
Google offering with Chrome OS Flex.
Billed as a “free-to-download operating system” by

# ⚓ optimizing_llvmpipe_vertex/fragment_processing.⠀⇛
Around 2 years ago while I was working on
tessellation support for llvmpipe, and
running the heaven benchmark on my Ryzen, I
noticed that heaven despite running slowly
wasn’t saturating all the cores. I dug in a
bit, and found that llvmpipe despite
threading rasterization, fragment shading and
blending stages, never did anything else
while those were happening.
I dug into the code as I clearly remembered
seeing a concept of a “scene” where all the
primitives were binned into and the
dispatched. It turned out the “scene” was
always executed synchronously.
At the time I wrote support to allow multiple
scenes to exist, so while one scene was
executing the vertex shading and binning for
the next scene could execute, and it would be
queued up. For heaven at the time I saw some
places were it would build 36 scenes. However
heaven was still 1fps with tess, and
regressions in other areas were rampant, and
I mostly left them in a branch.

# ⚓ How_to_install_Ubuntu_22.04_alongside_Windows_10⠀⇛
If you want to run Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish on
your system but you already have Windows 10
installed and do not want to give it up completely,
you have a couple of options.
One option is to run Ubuntu 22.04 inside of a
virtual machine on Windows 10, and the other option
is to create a dual boot system. Both options have
their pros and cons. A big advantage of a dual boot
system is that both operating systems will have
direct access to your computer’s hardware – no
virtualized hardware and unnecessary overhead.
A dual boot system gives you the best of both
worlds. It works by prompting you at startup to
select which operating system you would like to
load into. So, you will have to reboot your
computer each time you want to load into a
different operating system. Make sure you consider
this before deciding to proceed with the dual boot
option. Ready to get Ubuntu 22.04 installed
alongside Windows 10? Read on below as we take you
through all the steps.

# ⚓ How_To_Install_MakeMKV_on_Ubuntu_20.04_LTS_–_idroot⠀⇛
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install
MakeMKV on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. For those of you who
didn’t know, MakeMKV is a format converter,
otherwise called “transcoder”. It converts the
video clips from the proprietary (and usually
encrypted) discs into a set of MKV files,
preserving most information but not changing it in
any way. It is easy to use an MKV converter for
your needs.
This article assumes you have at least basic
knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and
most importantly, you host your site on your own
VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes
you are running in the root account, if not you may
need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root
privileges. I will show you the step-by-step
installation of the MakeMKV on Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal
Fossa). You can follow the same instructions for
Ubuntu 18.04, 16.04, and any other Debian-based
distribution like Linux Mint.

SSH (Secure Shell) is used to handle network
services securely over an unsecured network. Some
examples include: remote command-line, login, and
remote command execution.
By default, you can’t login to the root account via
SSH on Ubuntu 22.04. This is a security feature
because you would not want someone gaining root
access to your server through brute forcing the
root password in SSH. However, it is easy enough to
enable root login if you want to forego this
security recommendation.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to enable SSH
access for a root user on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy

most_in-demand_jobs_in_2022⠀⇛
Today’s IT infrastructure and operations
leaders face daunting challenges. New
infrastructure and architectures such as
microservices, containers, serverless, and
more have co-enabled IT teams to increase
scalability and flexibility. Modern business
technology ecosystems that serve hundreds of
millions of customers simultaneously have
become so complex that no single person can
grasp every detail of their infrastructure,
software, and services.
According to DevOps Institute chief research
director Eveline Oehrlich, the present and
future of the digital business are driving a
wide variety of applications, business
services, and data sources deployed on
diverse platforms including on-premises,
private cloud, hybrid, public cloud, and
multi-cloud environments. Adoption of new
technologies, coupled with the increased
speed in application delivery, has caused a
demand for IT operations professionals with
updated skills and knowledge. Findings from
the 2021 Upskilling Report show that global
site reliability engineering (SRE) adoption
in 2021 was at 22 percent and is predicted to
double in 2022.
To that end, companies are on the search for
site reliability engineers, whose job is to
help create and implement automated software
tools that maximize a system’s reliability
and efficiency while working closely with
software development and IT operations teams.

their company in the post-pandemic future
will be challenging.
There are a number of emerging technologies
(or new applications of existing
technologies) vying for attention as CIOs
turn their focus to enabling their businesses
for the future. Those that actually get on
the radar, however, will need to “help
address a problem, improve effectiveness and
efficiency, or provide a competitive
advantage,” says Sudhir Reddy, executive vice

# ⚓ Quality_testing_the_Linux_kernel⠀⇛
As a kernel quality engineer at Red Hat, I’m
often asked what I do. How does one test a
kernel for quality? Testing and debugging the
Linux kernel can be challenging because you
can’t simply attach a debugger like GDB (the
GNU Project debugger) if the kernel is
crashing: When that happens, everything
crashes, including GDB! Even if the kernel
isn’t crashing, if you ask a debugger to stop
the kernel from running so you can inspect
something, there is no way to resume running
the kernel because the kernel itself is in
charge of stopping and starting processes.
Asking the kernel to stop itself is a dead-
end road.

OpenStack storage is probably one of the most
complex topics in OpenStack architecture
right after networking. There are many
different storage options, at least a few
storage services, and tons of supported
storage backends. It is very easy to get
lost.
But do not worry, there is hope. Since
OpenStack was initially created as an open-
source implementation of the Amazon Web
Service Elastic Compute Cloud (AWS EC2), its
storage architecture is quite similar to
leading public clouds. This similarity makes
it relatively easy to learn for someone who
already has some cloud experience.

# ⚓ A_PNG_Based_Circuit_Simulator_|_Hackaday⠀⇛
We’re sure thousands of hours have been
spent in Minecraft implementing digital
logic. Inspired by that, [lynnpepin]
created a digital logic simulator named
Reso that is based on pixels rather
than voxels.
There are a few clever things here.
First, different colors represent
different parts. There are three
different colors of wire, output and
input wires, XOR gates, and AND gates.
OR gates are just output wires, which
or all the input wires together. By
implementing these gates, Reso is, by
definition, Turing complete. Since it’s
just a PNG, it is trivial to open it up
in GIMP and copy and paste one bit of
the circuit multiple times. The
different color wires are mainly to
help route in a 2d plane, as you don’t
have vias. Currently, the image
compiles into a graph that is executed.
[Lynn] chose code readability and ease
of prototyping over premature
optimization, so the code isn’t
particularly fast. But it is pretty
fun, squinting at the pixels that make
up the adders and clocks he has on his
blog. After giving Reso your image, it
outputs a series of images that
enumerate the state for several states.

is only going to be able to service around 500,000
to 800,000 total subscribers. In a country with 20-
40 million who lack broadband, and another 83
million who live under a broadband monopoly. So
despite a lot of rhetoric to the contrary, it’s

occurred in me. I was relieved to be back in the
building with my colleagues and overjoyed to see my
students in person instead of on Zoom, but I felt
crushed by the sensory overwhelm of it all.
Being at school was both eerily familiar and
strangely scary. The building itself seemed to roar
and echo as voices bounced off every surface.
Everywhere, bodies pushed too close. The required
social distancing of that moment simply didn’t
exist. We careened into and away from each other in
the hallways, everyone oddly awkward and unstable,
wary of the potential threat of the virus and of
one another. The sheer volume of shared
togetherness felt terrifying. I left school each
day hollowed out from speaking so many words and
interacting so closely with so many students and
colleagues.

same method as our body’s DNA to produce a protein
that mimics the virus, thus triggering our immune
system. Scientists also built on HIV vaccine
research to replicate the protein with unusual
precision — a method Jonas Salk could have never
imagined. That’s why the vaccines are so safe and
effective.

This practice is possible because
San Francisco has been storing
DNA gathered from rape survivors
in the same local database where
it stores DNA from rape
assailants and other suspects.
The San Francisco District
Attorney stated the database
potentially includes thousands of
victims’ DNA profiles, with
entries over “many, many years.”
This is not the first time San
Francisco has had problems with
its DNA crime lab. In 2010, the
SF Weekly reported the same lab
concealed DNA mixups and lacked
proper security practices to
prevent contamination. And in
2015, a lab technician was found
to have improperly analyzed DNA
evidence in a murder trial, which
caused the police to reexamine
1,400 criminal cases that were
prosecuted in part based on that
same technician’s DNA work.
The San Francisco police chief
asserted this week that the lab’s
collection practices “have been
legally vetted and conform with
state and national forensic
standards.” However, local DNA
databases like San Francisco’s
are not held to the same strict
laws and regulations as state and
federal-level DNA databases like
the FBI’s CODIS database. This
means that there is nothing to
prevent local police and the DA
from storing—and searching—DNA
from nearly anyone who might
interact with the criminal
justice system. This includes
crime victims, potential suspects
who are never arrested or
charged, people who have
consented to have their DNA
collected to rule themselves out
as suspects, and even people
whose DNA has been collected
without their knowledge.

# ⚓ Negotiations_Not_War⠀⇛
The United States has consistently intervened in
other countries, e.g., it has tried to overthrow
the government in Cuba for over 60 years. In 1990,
the leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev
made an agreement with Secretary of State James
Baker, who was also a close confidant of then
President George H.W. Bush. In return for
Gorbachev agreeing to the unification of Germany
and permitting the independence of many of the
nations within the USSR, there would be no NATO
expansion east of Germany, nor stationing of
European and US troops east of Germany. Ukraine
was specifically mentioned as part of this
agreement. This request from Gorbachev for the
neutrality of countries in Eastern Europe needs to
be put in the context of the Soviet Union losing 20
million people from Nazi aggression in World War
Two and wanting to have a buffer between Germany
and Russia.
In direct violation of this agreement in the late
1990’s, NATO expanded into Poland, Romania, the
Czech Republic and the Baltic countries. Today,
there is a major military buildup of Russian troops
near the Ukrainian border. There has also been an
increase of 3000 U.S. troops to Poland and Romania
with likely increases to come and increased sales
of weapons to the Ukraine. Somewhat ironically, the
Ukrainian government, led by Volodymr Zelensky,
seems less worried about a Russian invasion than
U.S. leaders like Biden and National Security
Adviser, Jake Sullivan.

# ⚓ I’m_Reckoning_on_a_Day_of_Reckoning⠀⇛
The way I see the current situation is that the
right wing of the GOP has been building its base
since it was able to get Goldwater the nomination
in 1964. The clown who nominated Barry at that
convention—the occasionally honorable Everett
Dirksen—had this to say about the USA and patriots
like Mr. Goldwater:
“Now all of us were raised to love our country, to
take pride in its glorious history, and to defend
it with our lives if necessary. We call it
“patriotism” — a word once revered by everybody.
Today it’s the fashion to sneer at that word and to
label positions of strength as extremism, to find
other nations’ points of views better than our own.
Perhaps too long the bugles of retreat have
sounded! And I put my chips on a man who has that
fidelity to his country. Consider our diplomatic
representative in Zanzibar. He’s at the point of a
bayonet, marched to the dock, and said get out. In
Ghana, where we’re spending over 250 million
dollars, they hauled down our flag from the embassy
flagpole and desecrated it. A nation like Panama,
that could not exist today were it not for the
United States and a great Republican Teddy
Roosevelt, can fuss and scold at us with impunity.
And then along with it, there is that bearded
Communist in Cuba who reviles and scolds and
castigates the world’s greatest country — and
confiscates our property. “

A Manhattan federal jury ruled against former
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on Tuesday in her lawsuit
accusing The New York Times of defamation.
The unanimous decision came a day after the judge

the unusual step of announcing that he would be
dismissing Palin’s case regardless of the jury’s
verdict.
“You decided the facts, I decided the law,” Rakoff

how he will murder her later. He then goes to a
dive bar and listens to the endless sob story of a
drunken civil servant, escorts him home, and goes
to bed. The next morning he wakes up and reads a
10-page letter from his mom, wanders around the
city, passes out in a bush, and has a nightmare
about a bunch of guys beating up a horse. He then
wanders around some more until he overhears the
pawnbroker’s sister saying she’s going to leave
their apartment the following evening, at which
point he returns to his bed and sleeps through most
of the next day. He wakes up in the evening, walks
downstairs, steals an axe, heads to the
pawnbroker’s apartment, and murders her with it,
then murders her sister when she unexpectedly shows
up and finds him in the apartment.

water and sewer infrastructure, which was one of
the big spending categories determined by
Congress.1
So far, 22 states have allocated over $7 billion
toward broadband, or about 9 percent of their total
disbursements from the federal government. Within
states, this has meant a mix of new programs,
funding for existing programs and expansion of
broadband services to more rural areas where the
lack of access to reliable, fast internet made it

BaronHK’s_Rants⠀⇛
While being investigated in California for a
potential class action lawsuit for making it
difficult to cancel, NordVPN merged with another
VPN company, SurfShark, and now they’ve broken the
“Linux” client again.
Version 3.12.4 for “Linux” causes the Internet
Killswitch to stop working on Debian GNU/Linux 11,
which means that if the VPN drops, your traffic can
go out over the open Internet without warning.
I had to go into Synaptic Package Manager, find the
NordVPN repo, and select Force Version to get back
to 3.12.3. Disastrous upgrades that shift bugs
around are quite common in NordVPN’s clients, but
are particularly bad with the “Linux” version. And
they won’t tell you how to just use Wireguard and
connect directly, even though behind the scenes,
that’s pretty much what their piece of crap client
program is doing. That and some firewall rules to
implement the Killswitch.

o § Kernel Space⠀➾
# ⚓ A_memory_allocator_for_BPF_code_[LWN.net]⠀⇛
Loading a BPF program into the kernel involves a
lot of steps, including verification, permissions
checking, linking to in-kernel helper functions,
and compilation to the native instruction format.
Underneath all of that, though, lies one other
simple task: allocating some memory to store the
compiled BPF program in the kernel’s address space.
It turns out that this allocation can be somewhat
wasteful of memory in current kernels, especially
on systems where large numbers of BPF programs are
loaded. This patch set from Song Liu seeks to
remedy this problem by introducing yet another
specialized memory allocator into the kernel.
The kernel allows BPF programs to be reasonably
large, but most of them are, in practice, quite
small. BPF can do quite a bit with a few hundred
bytes of code space. But the kernel allocates space
for BPF programs in units of full base (usually
4KB) pages, with all of the space past the end of
each program being wasted for as long as that
program remains loaded. For a small program, most
of the page allocated to hold the code is unused;
if there are many programs loaded, the amount of
wasted memory can start to add up.
Liu’s patch set adds a new “bpf_prog_pack”
allocator to address this problem. It would be, on
the surface, one of the simplest memory allocators
in the system. It maintains a list of huge pages to
hold BPF programs, allocating new ones as needed.
Whenever space is needed for a new BPF program, a
simple, first-fit algorithm allocates the amount
needed. A bitmap associated with each huge page (or
“pack”) tracks the free space (in 64B chunks), thus
automatically coalescing chunks returned to the
allocator when programs are unloaded. It is not
written for speed, but it does not need to be; even
on a system that makes heavy use of BPF, allocation
and free operations will be relatively rare.
The advantages of this simple allocator are
reasonably clear. Because multiple programs can be
packed into a single page, the memory that is
wasted due to internal fragmentation will be
greatly reduced. Performance will be helped by
putting BPF programs into huge pages, which reduces
translation lookaside buffer (TLB) pressure. But it
is worth asking why yet another allocator is needed
when the kernel already has memory-management code
that has been extensively developed and tuned over
the years. The answer is that BPF brings some
special needs that cannot be met with existing
allocators.
# ⚓ Stray-write_protection_for_persistent_memory_[LWN.net]⠀⇛
Persistent memory has a number of advantages; it is
fast, CPU-addressable, available in large
quantities and, of course, persistent. But it also,
arguably, poses a higher risk of suffering
corruption as a result of bugs in the kernel.
Protecting against this possibility is the
objective of this patch set from Ira Weiny, which
makes use of Intel’s “protection keys supervisor”
(PKS) feature to make it harder for the kernel to
inadvertently write to persistent memory.

# ⚓ Raw_photo_editing_with_RawTherapee_[LWN.net]⠀⇛
Digital photography opens up a whole new world of
photo postprocessing opportunities, especially if
the photographer uses their camera’s raw format to
take advantage of all of the data collected by the
sensor. On the other hand, using raw images means
doing without all of the processing done by the
camera and taking on a range of complex tasks. Raw
photo editors are designed to work with raw images
as a key part of a photographer’s workflow. Your
editor recently reviewed the darktable editor, but
there are other options available in the free-
software community. RawTherapee is a GPLv3-licensed
raw editor that is in some ways simpler than
darktable — but that is not the same as saying that
it is simple.
Superficially, RawTherapee looks a lot like
darktable. The initial view is called the “file
browser”; like darktable’s “light table”, it allows
the user to import images into the application, add
star ratings, and choose an image to edit. There
are options to filter images in a number of ways,
including by aperture and shutter speed, or by the
lens that was used to take them. The right sidebar
can also be turned into an inspection window for
quickly looking at images using a 1:1 pixel ratio
to check for focus.
As an experiment in processing photos with
RawTherapee, your editor used the file browser to
choose the image shown below, taken on a recent
outing above town. Once again, this photo is
anything but a great work of art, but it does show
the kind of problems that a raw editor can address.
The image contains a lot of contrast, and the
mountains in the background are somewhat
overexposed — an ongoing hazard when photographing
scenes with snow in them — while the foreground is
dark. What is shown here is the image as produced
by the camera; what can be done to improve it?

example, the search and replace function also
accepts regular expressions. Selections can be
applied specifically to the same words, for
example, to quickly adjust a class in the entire
document; text blocks can also be edited quickly
with a so-called batch selection.
Coded in C++ and python, Sublime Text puts emphasis
on the use of keyboard shortcuts, hence the user
can use shortcuts to open and switch documents.
Users can also activate the distraction-free mode
and edit the text on full screen.

# ⚓ Edit_text_on_Linux_with_KWrite_and_Kate_|_Opensource.com⠀⇛
A text editor is often a good example application
to demonstrate what a programming framework is
capable of producing. I myself have written at
least three example text editors in articles about
wxPython and PyQt, and Java. The reason they’re
seen as easy apps to create is because the
frameworks provide so much of the code that’s
hardest to write. I think that’s also the reason
that most operating systems provide a simple
desktop text editor. They’re useful to the user and
easy for the developer.
On the KDE Plasma Desktop, there are two text
editors to choose from: the humble KWrite and the
powerful Kate. They share between them a library
called KTextEditor from the KDE Framework, which
provides robust text editing options, so no matter
which one you choose you have more features than
you’re probably used to from a “basic” text editor
that just happens to be included with your desktop.
Using the same component for text editing across
text editors means that once you grow accustomed to
one text editing interface in KDE, you’re
essentially familiar with them all: KWrite, Kate,
KDevelop, and more.

In other recent tech news from around the web, with
the Steam Deck handheld gaming PC set to begin
shipping in less than two weeks, Valve continues to
improve its Proton software that allows many
Windows PC games to run on Linux. Nintendo,
meanwhile, is showing one of the down sides of
internet-connected game consoles: the company is
shutting down its eShop for the Wii U and 3DS next
year, and those are the only ways to purchase some
classic games for those consoles, which will make
the company’s older consoles a little less useful
in the future.
# ⚓ Valve_clarifies_how_they_test_Native_Linux_or_Proton_for
Steam_Deck_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛
For people who watch SteamDB updates, there’s been
a little bit of confusion on how Valve has been
testing titles ready for the release of the Steam
Deck on February 25. They’ve now fully clarified.
The issue surrounds what version they will pick for
Deck Verified when games have a Native Linux build.
There were a number that appeared on SteamDB,
noting Steam Play Proton as the runtime picked
instead (meaning the Windows build was used). As
example, an update for Portal 2 on SteamDB (their
own game) shows the recommended runtime being
Proton. Turns out, this was not intended.
Valve shared via email (making clear this was not
embargoed info): “early on, there were a limited
number of titles that were tested via Proton before
Linux before we made some policy changes. Since
then all of those titles are already back in the
queue for re-testing using their Linux builds”.

Along with fixing a bunch of bugs, the update
released on February 15 swapped out their voice
chat system to use Photon Voice as a backend. This
will offer better direct compatibility for Linux
(they have a Native build), and they say it should
also “decrease the latency in certain situations”.

Total War: WARHAMMER III has just released although
only supported for Windows, with the Linux release
due out “in Early Spring”.
The way it’s been handled is perhaps a little
confusing, if you don’t fully read the Steam page.
It has a SteamOS icon on Steam (to show Linux
support), plus a system requirements tab at the
bottom of the store page. However, down below the
buy button a bit there’s an Update Notes section
that reads “Total War: WARHAMMER III will release

daunting for new players – perhaps this new
subscription for Hearts of Iron IV may help.
What they’ve done on Steam is add a new Hearts of
Iron IV – Expansion Subscription which for a
monthly, 3-monthly or yearly fee gives you access
to the entire DLC collection for the game. It
includes all the main expansions, plus the smaller
DLC packs. Considering there’s 16, it might not be
a bad deal since it includes all future DLC.

In my last post I talked about why knowing
the desktop file for a window is important
for the task manager. I promised to talk
about some cool stuff we did there in Plasma
5.24, so here we are.
While hacking on the task manager code I
noticed that we show a “Open new instance”
action in the context menu of every task
manager entry, even for those where it
doesn’t make sense. A lot of apps are
inherently single-window or single-instace,
i.e. launching the app a second time will not
open a second window but rather focus the
existing one. Also, not all windows actually
belong to a user-facing or user-launchable
application. For example the network
integration might ask you for the WiFi
password, but you can’t open a new window for
that from the task manager. Another kind of
app where this actions doesn’t make sense is
helper applications like the wizard for
connecting to a new bluetooth device.

After 4 years of stagnation, the lightweight Slax
distribution is back in business.
Anyone who’s ever looked into bringing computer
hardware back to life has considered one or more
lightweight Linux distributions. In the search for
the right OS, you might have come across Slax,
which was a Debian-based operating system that was
quite popular for a while. However, the pandemic
wreaked havoc on the development lifecycle, so we
hadn’t seen anything new from the maintainer since
2018.
That all changes now, with the release of Slax
11.2. Based on Debian Bullseye, almost ready for
release and will include features like kernel 5.10,
support for 32 and 64-bit systems, PCManFM file
manager, Connman network manager, SciTE text
editor, xterm terminal emulator, and more. The
developer has opted to leave out the Chromium
browser by default (due to its size), but by
clicking on the Chromium icon, the browser will
automatically install.
Although Debian shifted to the OverlayFS union
mount filesystem, Slax had to continue with AUFS to
provide the necessary support for the slax activate
command. As OverlayFS doesn’t allow for
modification of the existing overlay filesystem on
the fly.

The pfSense CE is going to continue on the
naming scheme of 2.5, 2.6, etc., and then the
Plus version is going to use the year.month
naming convention for the releases.

MIDI is a standard known by musicians and

[Kevin] wanted to try sending MIDI data

The circuitry used is simple: [Kevin] simply
wired up two Arduino Unos with nRF24L01 radio
modules, which communicate over SPI.
Alternatively, an even quicker solution is to
use a Keywish Arduino RF Nano, which packs a
nRF24L01 on board. One Arduino can then be
hooked up to a MIDI OUT port on an
instrument, and it will send out MIDI signals
wirelessly. The second Arduino can then be
plugged into a MIDI IN port and repeat out
what it receives over the air.

# ⚓ Free_Software-related_blog:_Some_thoughts_about
technological_sustainability⠀⇛
It was interesting to see an apparently
recent article “On the Sustainability of Free
Software” published by the FSFE in the
context of the Upcycling Android campaign. I
have been advocating for sustainable Free
Software for some time.
[...]
Alright, so that was a provocative heading –
hardly positive or constructive – and with so
much hardware hacking (of the good kind)
going on these days, it might be tempting to
ask “what crisis?” Well, evidently, some
people think there has been a crisis around
the certification of hardware by the Free
Software Foundation: that the Respects Your
Freedom criteria don’t really help get
hardware designed and made that would support
(or be supported by) Free Software; that the
criteria fail to recognise practical
limitations with some elements of hardware,
imposing rigid and wasteful measures that
fail to enhance the rights of users and that
might even impair the longevity and
repairability of devices.
A lot of the hardware we rely on nowadays
depends on features that cannot easily be
supported by Free Software. The system I use
has integrated graphics that require
proprietary firmware from AMD to work in any
half-decent way, as do many processors and
interfacing chips, some not even working in
any real way at all without it. Although FPGA
technology has become more accessible and has
invigorated the field of open hardware, there
are still considerable challenges around the
availability of Free Software toolchains for
those kinds of devices. It is also not
completely clear how programmable logic
devices intersect with the realm of Free
Software, either, as far as I can tell.
Should people expect the corresponding source
code and the means to generate a “bitstream”
for the FPGAs in a system? I would think so,
given appropriate licensing, but I am not
familiar enough with the legal and regulatory
constraints to allow me to expect it to be
so.

after all. There are several apps that let
you use your Android smartphone to practice
Linux commands to connect to a remote server

# ⚓ Tune_Your_Galaxy_Buds_With_This_Open_Source_Desktop
App⠀⇛
Bluetooth earbuds are quite common these
days, and there have been many companies
making them. One of them is Samsung, which
makes the Buds, Buds Live, Buds+ and Buds Pro
earbuds.
Sadly Samsung does not provide a universal
desktop application to adjust the settings of
these earbuds for users, and hence, they are
stuck with the mobile application (Galaxy
Wearables) if they wish to tune and adjust
the settings of their earbuds. But luckily,
there is an alternative for that.
# ⚓ PinePhone:_trying_out_a_Linux-based_smartphone_
[LWN.net]⠀⇛
For several years, the only major options in
the smartphone market have been Android and
iOS. Android is an open-source operating
system, but virtually all Android devices
come with significant amounts of proprietary
code; iOS is almost completely proprietary.
Many Android phones and all iPhones have
locked bootloaders, preventing the user from
replacing the operating system.
Many phones are also carrier-locked,
preventing the user from switching cell
carriers without the approval of the one
through which they purchased the phone. Few
devices give the user root access without
making modifications to the software and
possibly voiding the warranty in the process.
Overall, while the purchaser may legally own
the device, in many ways it remains in the
control of the manufacturer and often the
carrier. Previous attempts at developing
open-source smartphones have either failed or
produced expensive devices.
PINE64 has been making various FOSS-friendly
electronic devices for several years. The
company originally made single-board
computers (SBCs), and later developed devices
such as laptops and tablets. One of its most
popular devices, however, is the PinePhone,
which is designed to promote mobile Linux
distributions as an alternative to Android
and iOS. The phone allows the user to install
any compatible operating system, and it is
not locked to a particular carrier. Instead,
it is designed to give the user as much
control as possible.

# ⚓ PostgreSQL:_PostgreSQL_JDBC_42.3.3_Released⠀⇛
A security advisory has been created for the
PostgreSQL JDBC Driver. The URL connection
string loggerFile property could be mis-used
to create an arbitrary file on the system
that the driver is loaded. Additionally
anything in the connection string will be
logged and subsequently written into that
file. In an insecure system it would be
possible to execute this file through a
webserver.
While we do not consider this a security
issue with the driver, we have decided to
remove the loggerFile and loggerLevel
connection properties in the next release of
the driver. Removal of those properties does
not make exposing the JDBC URL or connection
properties to an attacker safe and we
continue to suggest that applications do not
allow untrusted users to specify arbitrary
connection properties.

# ⚓ How_To_Install_CMake_on_Fedora_35_–_idroot⠀⇛
In this tutorial, we will show you how to
install CMake on Fedora 35. For those of you
who didn’t know, CMake is a free, open-
source, and cross-platform compiler designed
to build native environments, generate
wrappers, build executables in arbitrary
combinations. It is also designed to support
complex directory hierarchies and
applications dependent on several libraries.
This article assumes you have at least basic
knowledge of Linux, know how to use the
shell, and most importantly, you host your
site on your own VPS. The installation is
quite simple and assumes you are running in
the root account, if not you may need to add
‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root
privileges. I will show you the step-by-step
installation of the CMake on a Fedora 35.
# ⚓ What’s_coming_in_Go_1.18_[LWN.net]⠀⇛
Go 1.18, the biggest release of the Go
language since Go 1.0 in March 2012, is
expected to be released in February. The
first beta was released in December with two
features which, each on their own, would have
made the release a big one. It adds support
for generic types and native support for fuzz
testing. In the blog post announcing the
beta, core developer Russ Cox emphasized that
the release “represents an enormous amount of
work”.
[...]
The type parameter list is surrounded by
square brackets, so that it is easy to
visually distinguish it from the parameter
list, which is surrounded by parentheses. The
valid types for a type parameter are
delimited by “|” and multiple type parameters
are delimited by commas.
This allows defining a generic min() that
works for more than one concrete type. Above,
we specified that min() takes a type
parameter T which is constrained to be one of
the types float32, float64, or int. The
function takes two arguments, as before.
These must be of the same concrete type; the
return type is also the same concrete type.
In other words, the program would not compile
if we attempted to call min() with x being a
float32 and y being a float64.

# ⚓ FPGA_Starter_Videos_To_Help_Soften_That_Learning
Curve_|_Hackaday⠀⇛
Digi-Key have been producing YouTube videos
for a number of years now, and if you weren’t
aware, they’re definitely worthy of some
viewing time. The playlist we’re highlighting
here is a pretty good introduction to FPGAs,
specifically those supported by open source
tools, with low cost hardware. If you’ve
always wanted to get into hacking FPGA
platforms, but don’t know where to start,
this is going to be a big help. After first
covering what an FPGA is and is not, and why
you want to use one, [Shawn Hymel] dives in
to the toolchain.
We’re really lucky that the bitstream for the
Lattice iCE40 was reverse engineered by the
super talented Claire (née Clifford) Wolf
(AMP hour interview) which enabled the
project ICEstorm toolchain to be created.
Leveraging Yosys for synthesis and logic
mapping, Icarus verilog coupled with GTKwave
for simulation, netpnr for place and route
and finally the project ICEstorm bitstream
tools for packing into iCE40 format and
loading onto the hardware. The whole
toolchain flow is managed by APIO for
simplicity, that is, provided your FPGA board
is supported!
[...]
What’s nice about this Digi-Key YT series, is
that it doesn’t just cover the basic
toolchain flow, then drop you in at the deep
end of a big learning curve. There are videos
covering subjects such as finite state
machines (FSMs), test-benching and
simulation, using embedded (block) memories,
PLLs, harder subjects like dealing with
metastability and clock-domain crossing (OK,
he covers one technique – there’s more than
one way to skin that particular cat) before
finally looking at soft cores like the RISC-
V. Lots to learn, and pretty well executed if
you ask us! A Github version is available,
for those who can’t stand watching the
videos!
# ⚓ Contextual_Policies_&_LAN_Protection_(ABE_Quantum)_in
NoScript_11.3!⠀⇛
ABE Quantum is the combination of Contextual
Policies, one of the most requested features
in NoScript’s history, and LAN protection, an
important “Classic” defense lost in the 2017
Quantum migration.
After years of waiting and months of hard
work, this good stuff (which I personally
missed a lot, too) is finally in the hands of
all NoScript 11.3 users*, thanks to the
precious support by the NLNet Foundation and
the Next Generation Internet programme (more
specifically the NGI0 PET fund).
The “ABE Quantum” nickname comes, of course,
from the Application Boundary Enforcer module
of NoScript Classic, which both Contextual
Policies and LAN protection are in a sense a
“modernized” descendant of, sacrificing some
of the extreme flexibility of the original’s
firewall-inspired policy definition language
in order to provide a simpler, more
accessible and more intuitive user experience
directly integrated in NoScript’s main CUSTOM
UI.
Speaking of ABE, I want to thank barbaz, a
pillar of NoScript’s community whose efforts
to bring back to life ABE as a stand-alone
WebExtension helped a lot also in
(re)developing the WAN-to-LAN cross-zone
protection, which leverages the modified
iputil, DNS and AddressMatcher modules he
contributed back to the NoScript Commons
Library.

# ⚓ Linux_Whereis_Command [Ed: Linux is just a

[Ed: They’re conflating Linux with various tools

In Linux and Unix-based operating
systems, a running command instance is
known as a process. You can identify
each process by a unique process ID.
Linux provides command-line tools to
list, manage, and monitor these
processes efficiently.
You can use these tools to prioritize
each process or put them in the
background or foreground to manage
system resources efficiently.
This guide to process management in
Linux includes tools such as ps, kill,
renice, and other commands that assist
system administrators in managing and
listing processes.

o ⚓ PendulumSynth_Ties_Music_And_Physics_Together_|_Hackaday⠀⇛
Many musicians will be familiar with the metronome, a
pendulum charged with generating a rhythmic tick to keep
one’s performance in regular time. With PendulumSynth,
[mrezanvari] takes the same basic pendulum but uses it in
an altogether different musical way.
The build relies on a 10-inch plastic ball to serve as
the weighted end of the pendulum, stuffed with a
STM32F411CE BlackPill board, a BNO085 IMU, and an nRF
radio module for sending out data for external
processing. The pendulum’s motion is turned into MIDI
data or CV for output to musical hardware which handles
actually generating the output sounds.
o ⚓ High-Power_Laser_Salvaged_From_Headlights_|_Hackaday⠀⇛
[DiodeGoneWild]’s latest video lives up to the name. He
takes apart a laser headlight to recover a pretty
powerful blue laser. You can see the video, below.
The headlights work with blue laser diodes that excite
phosphor to produce white light. Removing the outside
trappings revealed a three-pin laser diode (the case is
the third pin). There’s also a substantial heatsink.
Removing the diode from the assembly is difficult, but it
is easy enough to leave it in the heatsink and use the
existing connector.
Of course, the phosphor and a filter have to go. Some
destructive work with a screwdriver and pliers broke out
the optics from a diode he’d destroyed trying to remove
it. Then he replaced the optics on the remaining diode
with the modified housing.
[...]
With the proliferation of cheap laser modules, it is
really worth scrapping a headlight? Maybe. But it is an
interesting look inside of a modern headlight, either
way. We’ve peeked inside these headlights before. Maybe
you can turn those old headlights into an oven.
o § Science⠀➾
# ⚓ The_Electrifying_Debate_Around_Where_Lightning_Comes_From_|
Hackaday⠀⇛
Along with many other natural phenomena, lightning
is probably familiar to most. Between its intense
noise and visuals, there is also very little
disagreement that getting hit by a lightning strike
is a bad thing, regardless of whether you’re a
fleshy human, moisture-filled plant, or conductive
machine. So it’s more than a little bit strange
that the underlying cause of lightning, and what
makes certain clouds produce these intense voltages
along ionized air molecules, is still an open
scientific question.
Many of us have probably learned at some point the
most popular theory about how lightning forms,
namely that lightning is caused by ice particles in
clouds. These ice particles interact to build up a
charge, much like in a capacitor. The only issue
with this theory is that this process alone will
not build up a potential large enough to ionize the
air between said clouds and the ground and cause
the lightning strike, leaving this theory in
tatters.

# ⚓ Like_Father,_Like_Son:_How_the_Trudeaus_Manufacture_Crises
to_Justify_“Emergency_Measures”⠀⇛
Due to the current activation of the Emergency
Measures Act by Canadian Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau on February 14 in response to the Freedom
Convoys and blockades both in Ottawa and across
various provinces of Canada, I thought it fitting
to revisit research that I had previously published
as a series co-written with Paris-based journalist
Benoit Chalifoux that explores the previous,
controversial invocation of that same act by
Justin’s father, Pierre Trudeau, in 1970.
First, I will detail some important contextual
information of the Martial Law and War Measures Act
deployed by Pierre Trudeau, who utilized a
demonstrably staged crisis run by Anglo-Canadian
intelligence networks between 1960-1970, eventually
resulting in tanks rolling across the streets of
Quebec and opponents to an anti-human reform of
society being crushed. This section will also deal
with some important contextual matters dealing with
the directing role of the eugenics-driven Fabian
Society and its Canadian branches in this
manufactured crisis, using it to shape a
technocratic revolution in 1970. Next, I will break
down the facts of the October Crisis, dismantling
the official narrative of “lone cells of violence-
prone separatists” and producing clear evidence
that the entire operation was an inside job
directed by top down agencies Anglo-Canadian
intelligence.
Revisiting the October crisis of 1970 is important
given recent events as they relate to the Canadian
Freedom Convoys and related manifestations. There
are unsettling similarities between what transpired
in 1970 and what is happening now, with the staging
of Confederate and Nazi flags within the currently
ongoing Ottawa protest movement, which has been
used to exacerbate the State’s narrative that these
peaceful protesters are “violent racist
insurrectionists” that must be stopped at all costs
and the February 14 warning delivered by the former
head of Trudeau’s security detail of an imminent
false flag in Ottawa that would be sparked by
firearms planted in or around the Freedom Convoy.
This exercise will not only help us gain a better
understanding of the nature of the game at play,
but also the weaknesses of the “deep state”
apparatus long embedded within the heart of
Canada’s political and intelligence establishments.

Arthur Wesley Dow’s influential arts
education handbook fused Japanese ukiyo-
e with the author’s unique minimalism, which
he derived from the landscapes of New
England.
[...]
Dow’s pedagogical mastery had humble Yankee
roots; as an eighteen-year-old high school
graduate in 1875, he taught farm children and
teenagers in a one-room schoolhouse in a
remote corner of Ipswich, Massachusetts.
About this same time, Dow took up sketching
as a complement to his pioneering antiquarian
research in Ipswich’s town records, and then,
finding inadequate the heliotype productions
of his own hands and those of Boston
printers, he began to practice wood engraving
and lithography, always with a craftsman’s
rigor. (He once spent an entire day hand-
grinding a carpenter’s awl into an engraving
tool for his first experiments with carving
local pear wood.) Absent from the early
editions of Composition, some of these
experiments appear in the greatly expanded
1913 edition, which also includes color
plates.
