that will get the pensionable reward or the cash bonus. Not everybody just for
showing up; I need a break; I drove all the way here'⦈
The right-hand_woman of António_Campinos is working very hard, she “24/7 worked
day and night” (in António's_bar_at_the_top_floor)
Summary: The vanity of unqualified EPO management (hauled from a trademark
institution for the 'skill' of knowing a mischievous colleague) is only going
to motivate more EPO staff to participate in future strikes

EPO Strike Recognised
Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0
http://techrights.org/videos/epo-strike-media.webm
Summary: Things are heating up at the EPO; management is unwilling to address
key issues as the_conflict_grows and even some_media is willing to mention (at
long last) what truly goes on
THE EPO is making workers more upset. António_Campinos has the social skills of
a mug and his dialogue/negotiation skills are hardly better than Benoît
Battistelli‘s. He keeps faking accomplishments by granting lots of Invalid
Patents (IPs), notably European_Patents_(EPs)_that_are_just_software_patents in
a new gown (like “Hey Hi”).
The only thing Campinos has going for him is the silence (complicity) of the
media. IP Kat deleted comments critical of him and most other patent blogs
pretend not to see what’s really happening at the EPO. They want people to
think that Campinos is some sort of magician who just by virtue of being
parachuted onto the Office somehow solved all the problems. And after
repeatedly ignoring the issue, devoting not even a single sentence to is, Max
Walters or his publisher finally_acknowledge_the_EPO’s_crisis. “As the EPO’s
staff union claims victory in recent strikes, sources assess whether renewed
unrest is having a practical impact on IP [sic] owners [sic] and if more is
likely,” Max Walters wrote this week. The staff union took note of his article
when it disseminated the following letter to staff:
6 April 2022
su22022cp – 0.2.1
§ IP world sets eyes on SUEPO’s successful Industrial Actions⠀➾
President still inactive. General Meetings coming up
Following the industrial action of past 22nd March, SUEPO sent a
letter to the President on 30th March inviting him to negotiate the
staff demands behind the industrial actions.
The effects of the current industrial actions are now visible1 to the
outside IP world. Unfortunately, and despite the importance of
dialogue between SUEPO and the administration for social peace, SUEPO
has not received any reaction to its invitation letter.
SUEPO regrets the lack of management's engagement.
SUEPO will call for General Meetings with a view to intensify the
level of Industrial Actions. In the meantime, SUEPO is waiting at the
negotiating table.
Your SUEPO Committee

Separately, on the same day, SUEPO also issued a call “for a continuation of
the Work-to-Rule actions” (basically refusing to work faster than necessary,
adhering to the EPC instead). To quote the publication, which is discussed in
the video at the top:
6 April 2022
su22021cp – 0.2.1/0.3.2
§ DG4 All-Together⠀➾
⚓ A celebration of cuts on career and salaries⠀⇛
On 30 March 2022, EPO staff was invited to participate in a DG4 All
Together online event. In the meeting, Mr Campinos and Ms Simon (VP4)
self-celebrated their achievements and consistently mixed
environmental and societal sustainability with financial
sustainability in an attempt to shed a positive light on their cuts
on career and salaries. During the Q&A session, staff took the
opportunity to express their concerns about the reward exercise
excluding at least 40% of staff from any career progression. This is
how our top management reacted (see video):
“I don’t believe in “Café para todos”1: that every year, everybody
gets a bit, a piece because we
all were there [...] The extraordinary, the extraordinary mile, the
high performance team, the ones that 24/7 worked day and night. Those
are the guys that will get the pensionable reward or the cash bonus.
Not everybody just for showing up. [...] Fairness is something else
than actually pouring a 100 Eur over everybody rather than really
signaling extraordinary effort.”
(Ms Simon, @01:23:30)
“Again going back why people don’t get rewards and just get a “Thank
you”. I would love to get a “Thank you”. You know, money, handing
over money is sometimes there just because you don’t want to stand up
and say “Thank you”. This is what gives you pride and sense of
belonging to this organisation.”
(Ms Simon, @01:25:21)
“We can do better in terms of long-term investments but at the end of
the day we have no direct levy over the market. On what we expend, on
expenditure, on our increase in salary mass, yes, we do. So that’s
there we have to primarily act. That’s what I think.”
(Mr Campinos @01:31:13)
“When you said, you know, the reward, whether it’s pensionable or
non-pensionable, it’s about celebrating something which is different,
needs to be different, needs to be outstanding compared to what we
did or what we do. If not, then we fall under the trap of coming back
to an automatic progression system. When I surveyed my staff, I mean
our staff, in our former agency [EUIPO] where we worked, one of the
things that our staff would say very consistently is that they were
against the automatic progression system.”
(Mr Campinos, @01:38:13)
After 4 years at the EPO, Mr Campinos would be well-advised to listen
to his “new” EPO staff on the many pitfalls of the New Career System
which has no equivalent among other international organisations and
treats EPO staff as “third class” civil servants.
Despite having closed the alleged “gap” of the Financial Study 2019,
management continues to allege financial “sustainability” to continue
to make unjustified cuts on staff’s career and salaries regardless of
their efforts instead of working on the sustainability of the
workforce, the most valuable asset of the EPO.
The more staff will produce, the less staff will get
SUEPO calls for a continuation of the Work-to-Rule actions
______
1 “Café para todos” (coffee for all, or coffee for everyone) is a
popular expression in Spain that has the sense of offering the same
treatment to all parties involved in an issue in order to please (or
displease) everyone equally.
It is noteworthy that they’ve outsourced EPO meetings to Microsoft (US), which
is really bad for all sorts of reasons. They’ve ‘normalised’ something which
probably violates several laws and we’re meant to just ignore it. Is EPO just a
‘branch’ of Microsoft now?
Anyway, EPO managers are pretending to work hard, having got the job not for
any hard work but for connections (nepotism) and they’re shamelessly pretending
it’s not about money while bagging millions of euros in one term. That’s
insulting the intelligence of EPO staff, which is on average more qualified,
more skilled and more experienced than those so-called ‘managers’ (friends of
friends). █

# ⚓ Kubernetes_Blog:_Kubernetes_Removals_and_Deprecations_In
1.24⠀⇛
As Kubernetes evolves, features and APIs are
regularly revisited and removed. New features may
offer an alternative or improved approach to
solving existing problems, motivating the team to
remove the old approach. Old APIs are first
deprecated and then removed according to the
Kubernetes Deprecation Policy.
We want to make sure you are aware of the changes
coming in the Kubernetes 1.24 release. The release
will deprecate several (beta) APIs in favor of
stable versions of the same APIs. The major change
coming in the Kubernetes 1.24 release is the
removal of Dockershim. This is discussed below and
will be explored in more depth at release time. For
an early look at the changes coming in Kubernetes
1.24, take a look at the in-progress CHANGELOG.
o § Kernel Space⠀➾
# § Graphics Stack⠀➾
# ⚓ Mike_Blumenkrantz:_Big_Marge⠀⇛
In particular, lots of cases of garbled/
flickering rendering (I’m looking at you,
Supertuxkart on ANV) will now be perfectly
smooth and without issue.
Also there’s no swapinterval control yet, so
X11 clients will have no choice but to churn
out the maximum amount of FPS possible at all
times.
o § Applications⠀➾
# ⚓ Linux Links ☛ 7_Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Firewall_Tools⠀⇛
Security is paramount. Security involves defense in
depth. Approaching security one step at a time,
with consistency and rigour, you can mitigate
threats, and keep intruders at bay.
Intruders use a variety of different techniques in
an attempt to compromise a system. For example,
systems can be attacked by denial of service,
cracking, intrusion, snooping (intercepting the
data of another user), or viruses/worms/Trojan
horses. To have a secure box, a system therefore
needs a variety of defenses.
One important step to protect a system is using a
firewall. Essentially, this is a network security
system, acting like a security guard between
internal and external networks. The firewall
controls incoming and outgoing network traffic
using security rules. The rules specify which
connections you want to allow and the ports and
zones through which the connection can be
established.
o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾
# ⚓ Jeff Geerling ☛ Getting_a_new_IP_address_via_DHCP_from
Spectrum_Internet⠀⇛
I have things relatively locked down here—more on
homelab security coming soon!—but a DDoS isn’t
something most residential ISPs take too kindly. So
it was time for me to recycle my home IP. Lucky for
me, I don’t pay for a static IP address. That makes
home hosting more annoying sometimes, since I have
to deal with tunnels and dynamic DNS, but it also
means I can hop to a new IP address if one is under
attack.
# ⚓ Klara ☛ Building_Your_Own_FreeBSD-based_NAS⠀⇛
This article is the first of a four-part series on
building your own NAS on FreeBSD. This series will
cover: [...]
# ⚓ An_introduction_to_pvpanic⠀⇛
# ⚓ Linux Shell Tips ☛ How_To_Setup_SSH_Passwordless_Login_in
Rocky_Linux⠀⇛
SSH keys are cryptographic keys that are used for
authenticating and securing traffic or
communication between two servers or systems. They
provide a more secure authentication method as
opposed to the traditional password authentication
which is prone to brute-force attacks.
In this tutorial, we will walk you through how to
set up SSH keys on Rocky Linux.
# ⚓ Linux Shell Tips ☛ How_to_Create_and_Manage_Linux
Partitions_using_Parted⠀⇛
When it comes to the usage and mastery of Linux
operating systems, you will always find yourselves
learning new cool stuff due to its open-source and
extensible nature.
One cool feature available in all Linux operating
system distributions is disk partitioning, which is
important as it helps with organizing your files
and folders, preventing files and folders
conflicts, and also in seclusion of the system
files from the user files.
While considering disk partitioning in other
operating systems (not Linux-based), you are bound
to go after a third-party application for you to
fully meet your disk partitioning objectives. With
Linux, using a third-party application for disk
partitioning is an optional step.
# ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ How_To_Install_LEMP_Stack_on_Ubuntu_22.04⠀⇛
LEMP Stack (Linux, Nginx, MySQL and PHP ) is a
popular web hosting environment for websites
developed in PHP programming language. Linux is the
operating system, Nginx is the popular web server
and MySQL is a relational database management
system used for storing data.
This tutorial will help you to install Nginx,
MySQL, and PHP (LEMP Stack) on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy
Jellyfish Linux systems.
# ⚓ 13_Apk_Commands_for_Alpine_Linux_Package_Management⠀⇛
Alpine Linux is an independent, free, and open-
source Linux distribution based on BusyBox and
musl. It is a lightweight and security-oriented
Linux distribution that comes in a small footprint
(about 160 MB).
For this reason, it’s widely used in creating
containers that are lightweight and standalone
units that provide an isolated environment to
deploy and run applications.
Alpine Linux targets users who desire simplicity,
security, and efficient resource utilization. It is
designed for x86, x86-64. AArch64 and ARM
architectures.
Like any other Linux distribution, Alpine Linux
comes with its own package manager known as apk
(Alpine Package Keeper) and comes pre-installed on
all Alpine Linux distributions.
# ⚓ UNIX Cop ☛ How_to_install_Zabbix_on_Ubuntu/Debian_Servers⠀⇛
Today you will learn How to install Zabbix on
Ubuntu/Debian Servers
Zabbix is a free, open-source and powerful, High-
Performance monitoring tool for servers. It can be
used to monitor servers, applications , network and
devices. It usually uses agents to collect data
metrics. It can be also used to monitor services
like ICMP Response, HTTP Servers, SMTP Services. It
uses MariaDB/MySQL Database Backend to store its
content. It is developed on C and JAVA and the
frontend is written in PHP. The interface makes it
easier to make use of the collected data metrics
and show it in graphs, screens, maps etc.
# ⚓ ERROR:_Boot_option_loading_failed_|_Adam_Young’s_Web_Log⠀⇛
When PXE Booting an AARCH64 server, the above
message probably means that you are fetching an
x86_64 image for iPXE, not ARM64. Here’s how I
debugged it.
# ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ How_To_Install_NVM_on_Ubuntu_22.04_–_TecAdmin⠀⇛
NVM is a Node Version Manager tool. Using the NVM
utility, you can install multiple node.js versions
on a single system. You can also choose a specific
Node version for applications. It also provides an
option to auto-select the node version using the
.nvmrc configuration file.
In this tutorial, we will help you to install NVM
on Ubuntu 22.04 Linux system. Also, provide you
with the instructions to install multiple Node.js
versions with useful examples.
# ⚓ How_to_change_the_root_password_in_Ubuntu⠀⇛
Ubuntu is an operating system designed for
beginners and is therefore easy to use. However,
this ease of use is not only used by novices, but
also by professionals who use it. One of the
easiest things we can do is to change the root
password in Ubuntu. To achieve this, we can do it
from the grub as a form of recovery or from the
terminal with our session. Let’s go for it.
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ How_to_install_Firefox_on_Debian⠀⇛
This brief tutorial explains how to install the
Firefox browser on Debian based Linux
distributions.
After reading this tutorial you will learn
different methods to get Firefox installed in your
system. This article is optimized for Debian based
Linux distributions, but most methods work in other
Linux systems.
Techniques explained in this article include:
Manual installation from Firefox official site,
using the span packages manager, using flatpack and
installing Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR)
with the apt packages manager.
At the end of the article, you can find a bonus
section showing how to install the Opera web
browser.
All steps described in this tutorial include
screenshots for elaborate illustration intended for
all Linux users to easily follow them.
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Linux_Home_Directory⠀⇛
This tutorial explains all you need to know about
the Linux Home Directory.
In this article, you will learn both theoretical
and practical information on the Linux Home
directory, which stores all information related to
the users.
After reading this tutorial, you will know what a
Home Directory is, the permissions structure, and
application scenarios. This is useful for Linux
distributions and other Unix-based operating
systems like BSD.
Practical instructions in this tutorial include
screenshots, making it easy for any Linux user to
follow them.
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Linux_Iptables_List_All_Rules⠀⇛
Iptables is a gateway that is crucial for many
Linux platforms’ network securities. Since many of
the iptables tutorial guides will demonstrate how
to write gateway rules to safeguard your Linux
system, this article will concentrate on a diverse
feature of firewall administration: listing the
iptables rules. Assume that in your Linux server,
you have recently unveiled NAT settings. In Ubuntu,
how can you view the rules that you recently wrote,
together with line numbers? This article assumes
you are working with a Linux platform with the
iptables function loaded and that your account has
root access. So, let’s start today’s article by
login in from your Ubuntu 20.04 system as we will
be implementing all commands on its shell. To open
the Linux terminal, you need to try out the
Ctrl+Alt+T shortcut right after the successful
login.
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ How_to_fix_“Error:_avrdude”_when_uploading
code_to_Arduino⠀⇛
Most of the errors faced by the students when
programming the microcontroller using Arduino are
of two types one type of errors that arise
compiling the code and the other type is the errors
that arise when the code is being uploaded to the
Arduino. The compilation errors can be rectified
easily as they are highlighted by the compiler but
the errors that originate while uploading the code
are not that easy to rectify because the compiler
does not indicate what the cause of the error. So
we have listed some of the common errors that you
might encounter while uploading the code and have
also given the respective solution for each error.
o § Distributions⠀➾
# § New Releases⠀➾
# ⚓ NuTyX_22.04.1_Released_with_Updated_Desktops_and
Cards⠀⇛
summary of the changes in the NuTyX 22.04.1
snapshot with download instructions.
# ⚓ Elive_3.8.27_beta_released⠀⇛
The Elive Team is proud to announce the
release of the beta version 3.8.27
This new version includes…
# § Debian Family⠀➾
# ⚓ LWN ☛ Debian_still_having_trouble_with_merged_/usr⠀⇛
The /usr merge idea was first raised in “The
Case for the /usr Merge” by Lennart
Poettering in 2012. It came out of the
systemd community, but was not meant to be
systemd-specific, though, as the comment
thread on that LWN post indicates, the idea
was controversial at least in part because of
its association with systemd. At its core, it
was a straightforward plan to move the files
in /bin to /usr/bin, then make a symbolic
link so that /bin would resolve to /usr/bin;
the same would be done for the other top-
level directories of interest (/sbin and /
lib*).
# § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾
# ⚓ Ghacks ☛ Linux_Mint’s_upcoming_Upgrade_tool_makes
upgrades_a_lot_easier⠀⇛
Linux Mint’s development team has been
working on a new Upgrade tool for some time
now. The new tool will make upgrades between
major versions of the Linux distributions a
lot easier for many of its users.
New major versions of Linux Mint are released
every two years. Each major version gets
three point releases, and updates to one of
the point releases are simple, as they don’t
require use of the command line.
Upgrades to new major version releases of
Linux Mint are complex, as they take more
time to perform and require use of the
command line. The new Linux Mint Upgrade tool
changes the major version upgrade process
significantly.
o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾
# § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾
# ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Accessible_Arduino_Mouse_Helps⠀⇛
We enjoy access to cheap stuff because of the
mass market for things like mice, keyboards,
and cell phones. But if you need a device
that doesn’t have mass appeal, you will have
to pay a lot more if you can find it at all.
However, with modern techniques like 3D
printing and Arduino-like microcontrollers
being cheap and simple to use, you now have
the option to build that special one-of-a-
kind device. Case in point: [Davy’s] mouse
for people who have brain or nervous system
disorders. This particular device is helping
a 6-year-old who can’t manipulate a normal
mouse.
# ⚓ SparkFun Electronics ☛ Breaking_PCBs_for_Science⠀⇛
TL;DR: We did some testing to develop our own
best practices for designing PCB breakaway
tabs and published an industry white paper
about it. You can download the white paper
here or read on to hear about our test
methods!
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Best_alternatives_of_Arduino_IDE⠀⇛
To program the Arduino there are a variety of
coding platforms that are available in the
market. The Arduino IDE is the platform that
is mostly used by the beginner level
programmers for coding the Arduino. Though
the official IDE is available for free to
download, do you know that there are other
IDEs as well that you can use to code Arduino
boards?. Well we have suggested some best
alternatives for the Arduino IDE.
o § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾
# § Web Browsers⠀➾
# ⚓ Its FOSS ☛ Vivaldi_5.2_Adds_a_Reading_List_Panel_&
New_Privacy_Statistics_Bar⠀⇛
Vivaldi has been an excellent choice for
users looking to get more out of their
browsing experience.
Even though it isn’t completely FOSS (UI is
proprietary, the rest is open-source), it is
a viable alternative for Linux users dabbling
with multiple tabs and wanting more features
in their arsenal.
# § Programming/Development⠀➾
# ⚓ Bartosz Milewski ☛ Teaching_optics_through_conspiracy
theories⠀⇛
Data types may contain secret information.
Some of it can be extracted, some is hidden
forever. We’re going to get to the bottom of
this conspiracy.
# ⚓ Daniel Lemire ☛ String_representations_are_not
unique:_learn_to_normalize!⠀⇛
Though you should expect normalization to be
efficient, it is unlikely to be
computationally free. Thus you should not
repeatedly normalize your strings, as I have
done. Rather you should probably normalize
the strings as they enter your system, so
that each string is normalized only once.
Normalization alone does not solve all of
your problems, evidently. There are multiple
complicated issues with internalization, but
if you are at least aware of the
normalization problem, many perplexing issues
are easily explained.
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ How_to_Determine_Size_of_an_Array⠀⇛
Array is a linear collection of elements. To
calculate the size of array we can use sizeof
() operator. With the help of sizeof()
operator we can easily find out the size of
an array. Except the sizeof() operator we can
also use pointer to calculate the size of
array.
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Laravel_Form_Validation_using
Controller⠀⇛
The form is an integral part of the Laravel
project. The login form, registration form,
and contact form are mainly used forms for
the visitors of any web application. The user
submits the data to the application by using
the form. It is essential to check the data
submitted by the user is genuine, and the
valid user is submitting the data. The form
data can be validated by using FormRequest
class or the Laravel project controller
method. Laravel form validation using the
controller has been shown in this tutorial by
creating a simple contact form.
# § C++⠀➾
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Isspace_function_C++⠀⇛
You may have used many variables and
functions while coding. Have you ever
tried to use some functions to find out
the total number of spaces used in
between some variable values? If not,
then you are extremely welcome in
today’s tutorial guide.
This article is all about the use of
the isspace() function of the C++
language to find out if the specified
value is space or not.
Let’s make a fresh start to our article
by producing a C++ file.
We need Ubuntu’s shell to create a C++
document in Ubuntu’s home folder. To do
that, open Ubuntu’s shell using
“Ctrl+Alt+T” and use the “touch”
instruction as shown below.
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Implementation_of_Doubly_Linked
List_C++⠀⇛
A doubly Linked list is the structural
concept in C++ that consists of 1 or
more nodes. A single node must have
three parts i.e., data, a reference
towards the previous node, and the next
upcoming node. The very first node is
said to be the “head” node that is used

guide is for you.
Let’s start this article with the new
C++ file creation. We have to create it
using the terminal “touch” query. After
the file creation, our next task is to
open it and create some c++ code. For
the opening, you can make use of any
built-in editor of Ubuntu 20.04 like a
text editor, vim editor, or Gnu nano
editor. So, we are using the “nano”
instruction on our shell to open the
doubly.cc file in it.
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ While_Loop_Sum_of_Numbers_C++⠀⇛
You may have calculated the sum of
numbers in mathematics many times while
learning. The C++ language also
supports the sum of numbers through
various supported methods. One of those
methods is the use of the “while” loop
in different ways to calculate the sum.
If you are looking for the use of the
“while” loop to calculate the sum of
numbers, then this article will be a
plus in your learning process. So,
let’s make a fresh start within Ubuntu
20.04 system and open its shell console
by “Ctrl+Alt+T” shortcut. Go through
each example within this article.
Let’s create a new C++ file first.
Ubuntu provides us with the “touch”
instruction to make any type of file.
Thus, we have been using it to generate
a C++ file named “while.cc”. This file
can be directly opened in the Gnu Nano
editor from the shell terminal via
“nano” instruction. If you don’t want
to use nano editor, try opening the
file explorer and moving towards the
home folder or towards the folder where
your file is located. Right-click on
the newly created file and tap on the
“Open file in Text editor” option to
open it within the text editor to make
code.

used for all the functions that are
available in this library and also
returns the double value as the result.

o ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ The_Five_Hands_of_“The_Slap_Heard_around_the
World”⠀⇛
To be honest, I can see both sides of this highly non-
frivolous issue: on the one hand, you don’t make light of
the medical condition of another person’s spouse in front
of a live TV audience of millions. On the other
hand—even though I understand Smith’s anger as a point of
honor (and although he appeared to be enjoying the joke
until his wife rolled her eyes)—violence is seldom the
answer.
That said, and on the third hand, although I am not
categorically against punching the odd bully in the nose
(and as a kid had seen it work wonders for playground
morale), I don’t think Chris Rock was being a bully. He
was being a cheap-shot artist. He was being a comedian
in 2022, and we pay comedians good money to push the
limits so that we can all talk about how indignant we are
about it afterward. Many, perhaps most, comedians these
days are cheap-shot artists in one sense or another and
have been for a long time (see Gilbert Gottfried, the
late Norm MacDonald, Don Rickles, and everybody else).
Rock seemed to think that it was a dumb throwaway line,
“a G.I. Jane joke.” This has given rise to endless “how
could he have not known?” queries.

Since World War II alone, these acts of aggression have

Czechoslovakia, and Afghanistan, China’s invasions of
Tibet and Vietnam, and America’s wars in Indochina, Iraq,

Today, great power crimes against humanity, often driven
by imperial arrogance and ambition, remain a plague upon

o ⚓ The Nation ☛ The_Bad_Aftertaste_of_the_NCAA_Men’s_Tournament⠀⇛
On Sunday night, the NCAA men’s basketball final
epitomized March Madness, but perhaps not in the manner
that the creators intended. The game itself was a
classic: two college hoops blue bloods—the North Carolina
Tar Heels and Kansas Jayhawks—squaring off, with Kansas
engineering the biggest comeback in NCAA finals history
and securing the 2022 national championship by a score of
72–69. The North Carolina team was particularly
compelling. Under the leadership of first-year head coach
Hubert Davis, they were in danger of not even making the
tournament during a mercurial first part of the season.
But they not only made it to the madness of March. They
advanced to the finals by defeating archnemesis Duke,
sending their legendary coach Mike Krzyzewski into
retirement. And yet, despite all of this basketball
nirvana, a stench remains from the North Carolina side
that no one seems to want to discuss. Davis is so
likable, the team was such a plucky underdog, and they
came so incredibly close that all the media wants to do
is cheer their effort and move on. But the odor lingers.
As the game went on, it was difficult to not feel more
and more uneasy with what was on display.

Is the political glass half-full this week, or half-
empty? On the plus side, three Republican
senators—Maine’s Susan Collins, Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski,
and Utah’s Mitt Romney—announced that they will vote to
confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court,
the first Black woman ever appointed. On the grim, even
ghoulish side, we have Representative Marjorie Taylor
Greene, R-QAnon, spewing lies on Twitter in a thread that
began: “Any Senator voting to confirm #KJB is pro-

o ⚓ Fudging_Designers⠀⇛
It sucks that Jeremy Crawford fudges and advocates
fudging. That really goes to show how difficult DMing is
in the trad framework. Not my jam.
The existence of fudging frustrated me for a while
because it forced me to come up with so many ways to be
radically transparent to the dorks. Rolling openly, open
tally of hitpoints etc. Sometimes showing parts from the
module.
But now that I have all those ways, those fudgy judges
out there are no longer a problem for me. A problem for
their own group? Maybe, but that’s not for me to decide.
It does become kind of a problem when the main architect
of the game builds it on the presuppostion of, and
recommendation of, fudging. Imagine if boardgame
designers would make games that only worked if you
cheated. That’s messed up.
o § Science⠀➾
# ⚓ Orac ☛ A_risible_attack_on_the_“priesthood”_of_“scientific
gatekeeping”⠀⇛
Longtime readers might remember a humorous (I hope)
shtick that I used to employ from time to time when
I encountered a fellow physician—or, worse, a
fellow surgeon—spewing science denial. The vast
majority of the time, back in those early heady
days of this blog, what provoked this shtick was
seeing a surgeon spew creationist nonsense denying
the theory of evolution. So what was this shtick?
In brief, I had a running gag that involved highly
extravagant descriptions (based on old Looney
Tunes) of how I wanted to hide my face behind
a paper bag in sheer embarrassment over the
antiscience antics of fellow physicians,
particularly fellow surgeons. Over time, the gag
evolved to my expressing a mock desire to hide my
visage behind a metal Doctor Doom-style mask,
again, over sheer embarrassment over the
antiscience stylings of one of my colleagues. In
most cases, it was evolution, because there are a
depressingly large number of creationist physicians
out there. (Anyone remember the creationist
neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Egnor?) I retired the
shtick many years ago, but every so often a
physician or surgeon seriously tempts me to
resurrect it. Thus far, I’ve resisted, but I failed
when I encountered an article in Reason by a fellow
general surgeon entitled Against Scientific
Gatekeeping. As if to goad me further into
resurrecting the paper bag, its subtitle read:
Science should be a profession, not a priesthood.
# ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Whales_Help_Scientists_Investigate_The_Mystery

Menopause is the time of life when menstrual
periods come to a halt, and a woman is no longer
able to bear children. The most obvious cause of
menopause is when the ovaries run out of eggs,
though it can also be caused by a variety of other
medical processes. While menopause is in many ways
well-understood, the biological reason for
menopause, or the way in which it evolved in
humanity remains a mystery. The process was once
thought to be virtually non-existent in the animal
kingdom, raising further questions.

Designed to ease navigation, they can in turn lower
the spatial skill of those who grow up in them.
# ⚓ Times Higher Education ☛ Pandemic_was_a_missed_opportunity

I was less surprised. We at the Science Media
Centre (SMC) had noticed during the pandemic that
some universities that were extremely proactive in

Many of those with whom we had worked closely
during past health crises were struggling to
prioritise the media’s demand for science.
o § Hardware⠀➾
# ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_Gaggle_Of_Boards_Makes_For_An_I2C_Playground⠀⇛
It’s not much of a stretch to assume that the
majority of Hackaday readers are at least familiar
with I2C. In fact, there’s an excellent chance that
anyone who’s ever done more with an Arduino than
blink the onboard LED has at one time or another
used the serial communication protocol to talk to a
sensor, display, or other external gadget. Of
course, just because most of us have used it in a
few projects doesn’t mean we truly understand it.
# ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Hacking_A_Fuel_Sensor_Into_A_Portable_Tank,

Regular readers of Hackaday will know that the
projects we feature are generally of the high-tech
variety. Microcontrollers, 3D printed parts,
embedded Linux, lots of wires, that sort of thing.
But that’s not to say we don’t appreciate the
somewhat more visceral builds out there; after all,
hacking is about creative problem solving and
thinking outside the box, and none of that is
limited to how complex the fix actually is.
# ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Pong_In_Hardware…_Virtually⠀⇛
We are big fans of the Falstad circuit simulator.
Sure, it isn’t perfect, but there’s nothing else

But we were blown away when we saw a more or less
complete hardware implementation of Pong in

And when we see such a project and find that it
contains the One Chip To Rule Them All (otherwise
known as the NE555 timer), our collective cup
runneth over with joy. So [Andrew Fentem]’s

buttons, as it’s a game superficially similar to an
air hockey table in which a magnetic puck is
accelerated by a handheld electronic bat.

Although every electrical grid begins with the

storing this power in some form instead of using it
immediately is highly convenient. Today’s battery-

time-shifting, but energy storage plays a major
role on the grid itself, too, whether in
electrochemical, mechanical or in some other form.

While this isn’t the first OLED targeted toward PC

have been waiting years for. I don’t want to have a
tall TV on my desk, even if it is one of the
“smaller” 42-inch LG C2 OLED TVs that are releasing
this spring. The AW3423DW looks like a gaming
monitor, with its immersive 1800R curve and 21:
9 ultrawide (3440 x 1440) design. And, with a
display capable of 175Hz refresh rate, it acts like
one but has far better picture quality — and
brightness — thanks to QD-OLED. At $1,299,
Alienware’s pricing seems right on the money,
coming in for less than next-gen TVs with many (but
not all) of the same perks.

Controllers haven’t seen much change over the past

piqued when reviewers began hailing Sony’s
DualSense, the controller for the PlayStation 5, as
the next-generation controller. Many reviewers went
as far as to claim that this controller single-

Vladimir Putin loses his grip on power and Russia
retrenches militarily while reaching out to
normalize relations with the West. At the same
time, China prudently decides to spend less on its
military, pursuing economic power while abandoning
any pretense to a militarized superpower status.
Assuming such an unlikely scenario, with a “new

as the world’s unchallenged global hegemon,
Pentagon spending would surely shrink, right?

Let’s get something clear. The government in Kyiv

confused. At worst, they are supporting the
relentless expansion of the greatest purveyor of

States. Is Russia’s invasion wrong on multiple
levels? Of course it is. Was Washington’s multi-
pronged pressure over the past couple decades to
get Kyiv to join its side wrong on multiple
levels? Of course it was.
Yes, Russia is the primary culprit in the current

Slavutych is one of the youngest towns in Ukraine.
It was purpose-built 35 years ago in the aftermath
of the Chernobyl disaster, to provide a new home
for the nuclear power plant’s employees and their
families. In the early days of Moscow’s full-scale
invasion of Ukraine, Russian forces occupied the
Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, using it as a bridgehead
for an advance on Kyiv. Slavutych, located 50
kilometers (31 miles) from the Chernobyl Nuclear
Power Plant and home to 25,000 people, found itself
isolated. Nevertheless, the Russian troops who
entered the town were met with civil resistance,
with local residents staging a mass protest. After
Russian forces retreated from the Kyiv region in
early April, Slavutych came back under Ukrainian
control. Speaking to Mediazona, Slavutych Mayor
Yuri Fomichev described the month his town spent
under Russian occupation. Meduza has translated the
most striking excerpts from his account here.

For instance, there’s nothing to laugh about in a
study recently released by the Environmental
Integrity Project on the 50th anniversary of the
Clean Water Act. The report, published by “former
EPA enforcement attorneys to advocate for effective
enforcement of environmental laws” found “alarming
results of water quality tests in all 50 states.
More than 700,000 miles of waterways, about 51
percent of assessed river and stream miles, are
impaired by pollution. That’s in addition to
another 55 percent of lake acres and 26 percent of
estuary miles.” The term “impaired” identifies
lakes, rivers and streams that are too polluted to
even meet minimum standards “for swimming and
recreation, aquatic life, fish consumption or as
drinking water sources.”
While the statistics alone are shocking, what’s
really worth questioning is the efficacy of laws
that are often passed with great fanfare and
promises of attaining goals that — as with the
Clean Water Act — are never met. In truth, the
minute the legislation is signed into law those who
fall under the regulatory jurisdiction go to work
weakening, obfuscating, and extending the science-

water for the future.

For those who make and share things online,

That means that at least sometimes when they

o ⚓ There_is_always_something_new_to_learn_and_do_in_Linux⠀⇛
To get more knowledge about Linux I took an 8-week Basic
Linux course by Henry White which he ran on an email
list. Eventually I was helping Henry with answering
questions on the list. Some of us met on IRC (Internet
Relay Chat) once a week. This is text-based where we got
to know each other as well as take up computer problems
or course questions. Later I got involved in another
Basic Linux course for a few years. Like Henry, our main
goal was to help new Linux users. Back then, Linux was
not nearly as user-friendly as it is today. I saw the
turn take place with Ubuntu. That was a huge breakthrough
for non-geeks to jump in. I was using Debian, but
switched to Ubuntu to become familiar with what my mom
was now using instead of Windows.

# ⚓ TechTarget ☛ Advice_for_data_centers_looking_to_change
operating_systems⠀⇛
Which OS a data center uses can vary, but the
majority of platforms are based on or have
compatibility with Linux. Linux is well known for
its incredible flexibility and versatility, largely
thanks to its open source nature and highly active
global community. Because anyone can use Linux
freely, developers around the world have built
custom configurations suited to almost any purpose.
Linux’s modular nature also makes it a natural fit
for the cloud — easy to scale and match the pace of
potentially rapid data center growth. Some of the
biggest cloud platforms in the world are based on
hardened versions of Linux, including AWS, Google
Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure.
Many of today’s existing data center OSes are
compatible with Linux, but each OS often has a
specific purpose. For example, Kubernetes provides
a way to configure Docker containers into clusters
of interacting services. It automatically accounts
for resource density replication and service
grouping and intelligently schedules these factors.
Photon, on the other hand, operates as a minimal
Linux container host with a focus on quick booting
on VMware platforms.

# ⚓ Video ☛ Git_Annex_Is_The_Coolest_Program_You’ve_Never_Heard
Of_–_Invidious⠀⇛
One of the limitations of git has always been that
it couldn’t handle very large files. And hosts like
GitHub/GitLab have file size restrictions. git-
annex allows managing large files with git, without
storing the file contents in git. It can sync,
backup, and archive your data, offline and online.
Checksums and encryption keep your data safe and
secure. Bring the power and distributed nature of
git to bear on your large files with git-annex.
o § Kernel Space⠀➾
# ⚓ LWN ☛ Problems_emerge_for_a_unified_/dev/random_/dev/
urandom_[LWN.net]⠀⇛
In mid-February, we reported on the plan to unite
the two kernel devices that provide random numbers;
/dev/urandom was to effectively just be another way
to access the random numbers provided by /dev/
random. That change made it as far as the mainline
during the Linux 5.18 merge window, but it was
quickly reverted when problems were found. It may
be possible to do that unification someday, but,
for now, there are environments that need their
random numbers early on—without entropy or the
“Linus jitter dance” being available on the
platform.
A bunch of changes for the kernel random-number
generator (RNG) were merged by Linus Torvalds on
March 21. Those changes included unifying the two
RNG devices, because it was hoped that no
mainstream platforms would lack a source of
unpredictable data that would allow the RNG pool to
initialize in short order at boot time. For several
years now, the jitter dance has used CPU execution
time jitter to initialize the pool in less than a
second; it uses the differences in code-execution
speed of repetitive operations due to
unpredictability in modern CPUs, from caches,
branch prediction, and the like. But some systems
lack jitter and have no other source of
unpredictable data. That leads to the boot process
hanging waiting for the RNG pool to initialize.
# ⚓ LWN ☛ Pointer_tagging_for_x86_systems_[LWN.net]⠀⇛
Pointers are a fact of life for developers working
in numerous languages. It is often convenient to be
able to associate a small amount — a few bits at
most — of ancillary information with a pointer.
This can often be done within the pointer value
itself with some careful masking and shifting. CPU
manufacturers have been adding ways to support the
addition of this sort of “tag” to pointers; the
most recent may be AMD’s “upper address ignore”
(UAI) feature, support for which was recently
posted by Bharata B Rao. This feature has an
uncertain future in Linux, though, as the result of
a fundamental design decision.
On a 64-bit system, a pointer is, naturally, 64
bits wide. But the CPU does not actually need all
of those bits to dereference an address stored in a
pointer. There are no systems (yet) that require —
or can provide — all of the memory that can be
addressed by 64 bits, meaning that there are ranges
of address space that do not map to physical
memory. Normally, user-space addresses start at (or
near) zero and increase from there; that means that
the highest-order bits will be zero even with the
largest possible addresses. As a result, it can be
possible to use those high-order bits to store
other types of information.
There are numerous use cases for stashing metadata
into those unused bits. Memory allocators could use
that space to track different memory pools, for
example, or for garbage collection. Database
management systems have their own uses for that
space. Applications can implement this sort of
tagging now, but it must be done with care; an
address with extra bits set is no longer a valid
pointer, so that metadata must be masked out before
dereferencing that pointer or passing it into code
that does not understand the tagging scheme. That
is error-prone and may slow down the application.
# ⚓ LWN ☛ 5.18_Merge_window,_part_1_[LWN.net]⠀⇛
As of this writing, 4,127 non-merge changesets have
found their way into the mainline repository for
the 5.18 development cycle. That may seem like a
relatively slow start to the merge window, but
there are a lot of changes packed into those
commits. Read on for a summary of the most
significant changes to land in the first half of
the 5.18 merge window.
# ⚓ LWN ☛ A_way_out_for_a.out_[LWN.net]⠀⇛
The a.out executable format dates back to the
earliest days of Linux — and before. It has not
been used in any serious way for decades, but
support still exists in the Linux kernel and has
resisted all attempts at its removal. Back in
January, Borislav Petkov tried yet again to delete
support for this format, leading to another
extended discussion. There is one difference this
time around, though: the effort to get rid of a.out
support might just succeed.
The a.out format dates back to the first edition of
Unix. When MINIX came along, it naturally used that
format for its executable files; that, in turn, led
to a.out being used in Linux as well. It is a
simple format, and its implementation on Linux was
even simpler; among other things, every Linux
shared library had to be centrally assigned its own
portion of the address space, since libraries could
not be relocated at run time. Still, Linux used
a.out for some time, until support for the
newfangled ELF format was first added to the
0.99.13 development kernel in 1993.
There was a time when the crazier people among us
manually converted our Slackware systems from a.out
to ELF in order to be able to try it out and gain
the benefits before distributions were updated.
They still bear the scars from that time. Not that
your editor would ever admit to knowing anybody who
would have engaged in any such activity.
ELF has been the standard executable format for
Linux on most architectures since 1995. One might
think that would have provided enough time for any
users of a.out binaries to grudgingly move on to
ELF; its adoption can probably be judged to not be
a passing fad at this point. But, in the real
world, surprises lurk.
# ⚓ LWN ☛ Systemd_discusses_its_kernel-version_needs⠀⇛
A query regarding the possibility of dropping
support for older kernels in systemd led to some
discussion on the systemd-devel mailing list
recently. As might be guessed, exactly which kernel
would be the minimum supported, what kernel
features systemd is using, and when those kernel
features became available, were all part of that
conversation. A component like systemd that is
closely tied to the kernel, and the interfaces
different versions provide, has a number of
different factors to consider when making a
decision of this sort.
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek started things off by
asking if changing the minimum required kernel
version for systemd to 4.4 would cause problems for
anyone. He said that if it did, “please
substantiate why you are running new systemd with
such old kernels”. Currently, systemd minimally
requires Linux 3.15 or later, as noted in its
README file.

# ⚓ How_To_Migrate_WordPress_Manually_To_New_Host⠀⇛
Any website migration is regarded as one of the
most difficult operations. Fortunately, WordPress
provides a plethora of backup plugins to help and
automate the entire backup and migration process.
However, WordPress is constructed in such a way
that manually migrate WordPress could not be
simpler.
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to migrate a
WordPress site manually to a new host or server.
This is especially useful if the site is hosted on
a server with insufficient resources to enable the
backup plugin. Backup plugins typically demand a
minimal amount of resources to execute site backup
and migration to another server. I’ve prepared a
list of backup plugins for WordPress. So, if your
server is healthy and has sufficient resources, I
recommend that you install a backup plugin for
WordPress migration.

a lot that’s been going on, with updates releasing
rather regularly. Most of it, we’ve already gone
over in articles you can follow on the Steam Deck
tag and videos on the GamingOnLinux YouTube
Channel.
Some of what’s mentioned includes jumping over
2,000 Verified and Playable titles, which is a nice
healthy number for such a new system. There’s quite
a lot of issues there though, they know this, and
so the feedback system was introduced to see how
different the experience is compared with Deck
Verified and what players actually see.

The Korean-based company Hardkernel announced the
launch of their newest ODROID-M1 single board
computer which adopts the Rockchip RK3568 as its
System on Chip. The SoC integrates four ARM cortex-
A55 processors (up to 2 GHz), a Mali-G52 MP2 GPU
and a 0.8 TOPs AI accelerator RKNN NPU.
Although slower than its predecessors (i.e. ODROID
H2), the ODROID-M1 provides a wide variety of
peripherals. The SBC has SATA, eMMC, MicroSD and
M.2 NVMe M-key support. Additionally, it comes with
Petitboot pre-installed in its onboard SPI-flash
memory for easier kernel and OS management.

For years, CentOS Linux was Linux-savvy
system administrators’ top choice. They could
use it and get the best of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux (RHEL) without paying for support —
unless they really needed the help. Then,
when Red Hat shifted focus from CentOS Linux,
other groups seized the opportunity to build
RHEL clones, such as AlmaLinux and Rocky
Linux, for cost-conscious server and cloud
users.
The latest move in this arena came when CIQ,
the high-performance computing company and
Rocky Linux’s parent, joined forces with
Google Cloud to provide customers with
unified best-in-class support.
# ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ IBM_z16_is_here,_and_Ubuntu_22.04_LTS_beta

IBM has just unveiled its IBM z16 next-
generation computing platform. As the latest
product in the zSystems server family, IBM
z16 delivers the outstanding performance and
security that IBM mainframes are known for,
while also bringing innovations in AI
inferencing, hybrid cloud support, and
quantum-safe cryptography.
Building on the long-standing partnership
between IBM and Canonical, Ubuntu Server
22.04 LTS (currently in beta) has been
developed in parallel with IBM z16 to enable
organisations to make the most of the new IBM
platform from day one.
In order to utilise many of the new features
available with IBM z16, operating system
support is essential. Ubuntu 22.04 provides
this support not only for the core system,
but also across the full scope of peripherals
and special facilities. What’s more, several
brand-new packages were added to Ubuntu 22.04
to improve ease-of-use for advanced IBM z16
capabilities.
# ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ Ubuntu’s_Throwing_a_Release_Party_and

It looks like it’s party season in Linuxland!
There’s now an announced release party for
Ubuntu’s upcoming 22.04 released.
About a week-and-a-half ago we told you about
Fedora’s upcoming release party bash to
celebrate the release of Fedora 36. Evidently
party-animal-with-a-tie Mark Shuttleworth
read the news from the Isle of Woman and Man
and decided it wasn’t fair for Fedora users
to have all the fun, so a decree has come
down from on high that Ubuntu’s having a
release party too, for Ubuntu 22.04, which
ready for prime time in two weeks.
Ubuntu’s release party will come before
Fedora’s planned event, on May 1st, or Mayday
— which is both the international distress
signal and an important holiday for labor
union folks. We’re not sure which is
pertinent here.

NEWS
* Noteworthy changes in release 1.12
(2022-04-07) [stable]
** Changes in behavior
'gzip -l' no longer misreports file
lengths 4 GiB and larger.
Previously, 'gzip -l' output the 32-
bit value stored in the gzip
header even though that is the
uncompressed length modulo 2**32.
Now, 'gzip -l' calculates the
uncompressed length by decompressing
the data and counting the resulting
bytes. Although this can take
much more time, nowadays the
correctness pros seem to outweigh the
performance cons.
'zless' is no longer installed on
platforms lacking 'less'.
** Bug fixes
zgrep applied to a crafted file name
with two or more newlines
can no longer overwrite an arbitrary,
attacker-selected file.
[bug introduced in gzip-1.3.10]
zgrep now names input file on error
instead of mislabeling it as
"(standard input)", if grep supports
the GNU -H and --label options.
'zdiff -C 5' no longer misbehaves by
treating '5' as a file name.
[bug present since the beginning]
Configure-time options like --
program-prefix now work.
# § Programming/Development⠀➾
# ⚓ The_Bargain_Bin_B-Tree⠀⇛
I’ve been working lately on a bit of an
overhaul of how the search engine does
indexing. How it indexes its indices. “Index”
is a bit of an overloaded term here, and it’s
not the first that will crop up.
Let’s start from the beginning and build up
and examine the problem of searching for a
number in a list of numbers. You have a long
list of numbers, let’s sort them because why
not.

With Python there are lots of ways you
can manipulate strings. One of the most
common I find myself using is to
convert a string to lowercase, often
before passing the string to another
function. This can be useful with
dealing with anything that is case
sensitive. Luckily, its easy to change
a string to lowercase in Python.
# ⚓ How_to_choose_the_right_tool_for_your_web
scraping_project?_–_Anto_./_Online⠀⇛
Many people in different fields have
employed Python to do web scraping. The
most common purposes for this are data
science and mining large amounts of
structured or unstructured information
from the Internet, which can be
difficult without appropriate software
tools.
Python is excellent for web scraping
because Python allows programmers to
write a simple scraping script
containing 1000 or more lines of code
in 10 to 15 minutes. So you do not need
to be a super experienced developer to
do this. If you don’t know Python, read
this guide to see why you should!

Did you raise your eyebrow skeptically
when you read the title of this blog
post?
If you did, maybe you’re a penny-
pinching manager in a business or
government agency. “People are
expensive. Isn’t there some off-the-
shelf software or online service that
can clean our data automatically?”
Or you might be an ambitious developer.
“If people can do it, software can do
it. And data’s just text, for Heaven’s
sake. How hard could it be to write a
text-cleaning package?”
Or you might be a machine-learning
specialist, confident that after just a
few hundred hours of training with the
right sort of datasets, your pet ML
project could become the Leela Chess
Zero or GNMT of data cleaning.
Readers who agree with the title of
this post are likely to be a bit closer
to the realities of data cleaning than
my hypothetical manager, developer and
ML enthusiast.

Spring4Shell (CVE-2022-22965) is a
remote code execution (RCE)
vulnerability that affects Spring Core,
a comprehensive framework for Java-
based enterprise applications.
Spring4Shell gets its name from the
Log4Shell vulnerability, one of the
most critical zero-day threats ever,
which affected a Java software
component called Log4j and allowed
hackers to take control of web servers
and networks.
Spring4Shell is a critical
vulnerability for web applications and
cloud services. Any RCE is a serious
threat, and GitHub is already full of
POCs (proofs of concept) that disclose
the exploit publicly, so cybercriminals
can’t miss it.
# ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Secure_your_Edge_Solutions

Modern environments, especially edge
computing and 5G, are complex, highly
distributed, highly multi-tenant. Such
environments push enterprise data close
to the edge and create numerous
exposure points and attack surfaces
that did not exist in legacy monolithic
deployments.
In the previous article, we outlined
five security considerations for edge
deployments. The key component that
will be addressed in this post is data.
Let’s walk through how Red Hat
OpenShift and Zettaset XCrypt for
OpenShift customers can take advantage
of a platform for microservices
deployments with the granular and high
performance data protection and
management capabilities that modern
architectures require.

can to keep up with the public
state-of-the-art, especially when
details of a particularly
interesting vulnerability are
announced or a new in-the-wild
exploit is caught. Originally
this post was just a series of
notes I took last year as I was

But the bug itself and the
narrative around it are so
fascinating that I thought it
would be worth writing up these
notes into a more coherent form
to share with the community.

Since Kopper got merged today upstream I
wanted to write a little about it as I think
the value it brings can be unclear for the
uninitiated.
Adam Jackson in our graphics team has been
working for the last Months together with
other community members like Mike
Blumenkrantz implementing Kopper. For those
unaware Zink is an OpenGL implementation
running on top of Vulkan and Kopper is the
layer that allows you to translate OpenGL and
GLX window handling to Vulkan WSI handling.
This means that you can get full OpenGL
support even if your GPU only has a Vulkan
driver available and it also means you can
for instance run GNOME on top of this stack
thanks to the addition of Kopper to Zink.

# ⚓ Vitux ☛ Three_Internet_Radio_Clients_for_the_Debian_11
Terminal_–_VITUX⠀⇛
There are so many music players that support audio
streaming, but what if you’d rather listen to your
favorite radio stations without leaving the comfort
of the command line? There are actually quite a few
command-line music players that let you listen to
radio stations directly in the terminal. These are
quite simple and handy programs that save you from
opening a browser.
In this article, we will introduce you to three
different media players that allow you to listen to
online radio stations directly from the Linux
command line. We’ll explain how to install and use
each of these utilities, and how to remove them
from your system if necessary.
We have run the commands and procedures mentioned
in this article on a Debian 11 system.
# ⚓ Medevel ☛ Foliate_is_undoubtedly_the_best_eBook_viewer_for

Foliate is an outstanding open-source eBook reader
for Linux systems. It is the brain child of John
Factotum, an open-source developer and enthusiast.
It is available in the repo for all popular Linux
distros, and it is proven to be unbeatable among
its compatible, not just because of its rich
features-set, but also because it is a lightweight
app, its ease of use.
# ⚓ Trend Oceans ☛ ARPCHAT:_Communicate_using_ARP_Protocol

What if I tell you that it’s possible to
communicate with your peers over the network using
ARP protocol?
That’s true; there is a new application name
ARPCHAT written in a rust programming language by
user kognise can achieve this thing very quickly
and efficiently.
This application takes advantage of the ARP
protocol (Which requires discovering the system’s
mac address on the link layer of the network), only
requiring that all users are connected to the same
network.

when I stumbled upon PeppyMeter, I knew right away
that I must have it running on my machine. Making
it work turned out to be a non-trivial matter, but
I managed to get it up and running after much
experimenting. And I’ve documented all the steps
for your convenience. The following procedure
assumes that you’re using Ubuntu or Linux Mint.
# ⚓ ByteXD ☛ How_To_Make_Ubuntu_Look_and_Feel_Like_Windows⠀⇛
Nowadays, most users who want to switch from
Windows always see Linux as the perfect operating
system to get started with. Of course, everybody
has different reasons for such a move.
Still, they mainly revolve around security,
developing applications for Linux systems,
penetration testing (Kali or Parrot), or using an
OS that wouldn’t bother you now and then about
licensing.
# ⚓ OSNote ☛ How_to_Install_Zikula_CMS_on_Ubuntu_–_OSNote⠀⇛
Zikula is a free and open-source software that
anyone can use to build anything they want. It’s
easy enough for even your grandma.
Zikula means “plus” in Swahili language, so it
translates as “more than” or “something more”. The
name embodies what this project provides – an
extension beyond common web technologies with tools
like templates that help you create simple one-page
websites all the way up to complex applications
powered by Node JS modules & MVC architecture. You
can create anything from basic one-page websites to
sophisticated and powerful online apps with
Zikula’s user-friendly interface. It is very simple
to set up, so you will have no trouble making your
vision come alive.
In this guide, we’ll guide you through how to
install Zikula and all of its requirements on an
Ubuntu 20.04 system.
# ⚓ H2S Media ☛ Install_FreeTube_–_YouTube_player_app_on_Ubuntu

# ⚓ Locate_command_not_found⠀⇛
If you encounter the error locate command not found
on your Linux system, it likely means that you do
not have the software installed and therefore can’t
use this command. In this tutorial, we will remedy
the issue by showing you how to install the locate
command on all major Linux distros. You will then
see some basic usage examples of the locate
command.
# ⚓ How_to_obtain_MAC_address_in_Linux⠀⇛
Every network interface, on any device, has its own
MAC address. Unlike IP addresses, which can change
frequently and easily, MAC addresses are
permanently tied to the hardware. Although you can
spoof your MAC address with software, the real MAC
address of your network interface will never
change.
The MAC address identifies your device on the
network. One common way they are used is for
routers to hand out reserved IP addresses to a
specific MAC address. To perform this
configuration, you will first need to obtain your
MAC address.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to obtain the
MAC address on a Linux system via both command line
and GUI. This will show you the MAC address for all
network interfaces you have installed – for
example, your Ethernet interface as well as your
Wi-Fi network card.
# ⚓ Locate_vs_find:_What_is_the_difference⠀⇛
If you need to search for one or more particular
files, Linux systems have a few powerful methods
for locating them, such as the find and locate
commands. Both of these commands have the same
purpose, but they use a different methodology to
find files. Searching for a file with a specific
name can be done, but you can also search for files
that follow certain naming patterns.
This can be broadened all the way to finding files
based on file size, file extension, or a lot of
other options. In this tutorial, you will learn the
difference between the find and locate commands,
and examples of how to use each one. By the end of
our tutorial, you will know in which situations one
command is more approrpiate than the other.
# ⚓ How_to_restore_hibernation_on_Fedora⠀⇛
Hibernation, also known as “suspend to disk”, is
the most efficient power saving mode in terms of
energy consumption. On hibernation, the state of
the random access memory is stored on disk, and the
machine is completely power down. Although
efficient, hibernation is commonly not recommended
if using a solid state drive, because each time the
system enters this power state, a lot of data must
be written to disk, which as we know, has a limited
number of write cycles. For this and other reasons,
as the the low number of machines on which
hibernation works reliably on Linux, Fedora decided
to disable this power state by default.
# ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ How_to_write_an_Ansible_plugin_to_create

In my previous articles in this series, I wrote
about dynamic Ansible inventories and how to write
a very flexible Python script that uses Nmap
results to create them.
# ⚓ Vitux ☛ How_to_find_Geographic_Server_Location_(IP)_using
the_Terminal_on_Debian_11_–_VITUX⠀⇛
Each server has a public IP address that is
assigned to the server directly through a router.
This public IP address can be used to determine the
geolocation of the server, which includes
information such as the continent, country, and
even the estimated latitude and longitude of the
server.
There are many situations where you need to
determine the geographic location of a remote Linux
machine based on its IP address. You may know how
to find out the geolocation of the server through
the web browser, but today we will see how to find
it through the terminal application in a Debian
operating system. In this article, we’ll tell you
how to find out the public IP address of a system
and then retrieve its geolocation using ipinfo.io’s
two open APIs.
# ⚓ FAQForge ☛ How_to_Install_Slack_on_Ubuntu⠀⇛
Slack is an up-and-coming application for
communicating in the workplace. It comes with all
of the standard functionality, but its extra
features are amazing.
Slack offers call and video conversations in
addition to text communication. Slack has a channel
function that allows you to organize your
conversations into sub-categories and allows you to
search for them. It also supports extra add-ons to
expand its functionality. This aids in the
organization of information and communication.
The Slack client is not open-source software, but
its client is free. The Slack desktop client
supports many platforms. In this article, you will
learn multiple methods to install Slack on your
Ubuntu system
# ⚓ Vitux ☛ IP_Address_Management_on_Ubuntu_–_VITUX⠀⇛
Nowadays, everything takes place on the Internet.
It is not wrong to say that “the Internet has
become the basic requirement for our lives”. And
the Internet is a network of networks that are
interconnected. To surf the Internet, you should
know the basics of a network and how to connect
your local network to the Internet. The first and
most important thing when connecting to the
Internet is the IP address. The IP address is your
identity on the Internet, just like your phone
number, social security number, etc. To browse the
Internet, you need an IP address. If the network is
down or not working, the user should be able to
find the cause of the problem. To identify the
problem, one should be familiar with the basics of
networking. The Linux Network Stack provides great
flexibility in managing a network through the
graphical user interface and the command line. In
this tutorial, we will see how to manage, debug,
and fix a network problem using the Linux GUI
interface and the command-line interface.
# ⚓ OpenSource.com ☛ Happy_anniversary,_Git!_Here_are_our

Git’s 17th anniversary is on April 7th, 2022. Since
its creation, Git has become a standard tool for
software development. It helps programmers track
changes they make to their code, and as a code
hosting platform, it allows users to find useful
applications. If you interact with source code,
open source or otherwise, there’s a strong
likelihood you interact with Git. With so many
people using Git daily, I wondered what the open

While this may be something Linux users are used
to, players new to the Steam Deck should be aware
of how to catch issues for Valve to hopefully fix
up Proton.
Here’s the thing: for the majority of games on
Steam Deck, they won’t be Linux Native. Instead,
they will rely on the Proton compatibility layer to
run Windows games on SteamOS which is based on Arch
Linux. It’s not perfect, there are issues and
here’s how you can catch them.
# ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Xbox_Games_Studios_talk_up_more_of_their
games_on_Steam_Deck_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛
Still a little weird to see but Xbox Games Studios
have talked about more of their games running on
Steam Deck, a system powered by Linux. Not the
first time they’ve done this and likely won’t be
the last, heck they even showed how to get Xbox
Cloud Gaming running.
# ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ The_Hand_of_Merlin_to_get_full_Native_Linux
and_Steam_Deck_support_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛
Developer Room-C Games working with Croteam have
announced that The Hand of Merlin will see full
Steam Deck support, as work continues on their
Native Linux version.
The Linux version has been available in Beta for a
while but they’re not quite finished with it to
tick the box and have it show on the Steam store.
The good news is that they’ve also been testing on
Steam Deck, where it works great, and they think it
should get bumped from Playable to Verified when
done.
# ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ RimWorld_now_includes_full_Steam_Deck

The original developer who was working on Steam
Deck support was sadly caught up in the Russian
invasion of Ukraine, with Ludeon Studios mentioning
they are now safe.
# ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Half-Life_Alyx:_LEVITATION_promises_another
4-5_hours_of_VR_fun_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛
Half-Life Alyx: LEVITATION is an impressive looking
upcoming mod for Valve’s incredible VR experience.
Probably one of the best games and gaming
experiences, I’ve ever had. I’m itching to play a
whole lot more in this world.
It will be difficult for any mod team to create a
comparable experience, especially with the added
extras that a VR game mod will need but this really
does look promising.
o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾
# § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾
# ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Dash_to_Panel_Adds_GNOME_42_Support⠀⇛
This unified, single desktop panel is one of
the most popular GNOME extensions[citation
needed] around. It’s a classy and
customisable alternative to a vanilla GNOME
or stock Ubuntu setup.
So word that the latest version — rolling out
through GNOME extensions website — adds
support for GNOME 42 will please many an ear.
How does it fare on Ubuntu 22.04? Very well!
I don’t see any graphical glitches when
entering or exiting the workspace switcher or
the app launcher. The whole of the shell UI
feels as well proportioned with Dash to Panel
enabled as it does with the vanilla Ubuntu
Dock.dash

When I was 24 years old, I was promoted into
the executive suite with little more than a
prayer. The fact that I lasted six years in
this job was a downright miracle. Since then,
I’ve learned a ton through personal
experience and from the clients that I coach,
who face untold leadership struggles.

Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes.
Helm uses a packaging format called charts,
which include all of the Kubernetes resources
that are required to deploy an application,
such as deployments, services, ingress, and
so on. Helm charts are very useful for
installing applications and performing
upgrades on a Kubernetes cluster.
# ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Fedora_Plans_to_Drop_Support_for_Legacy
BIOS_Systems [Ed: IBM helps the same sinister agenda as
Microsoft and the NSA; it's not about security or
modernity as lessens users' control]⠀⇛
The Fedora 37 development team is considering
dropping support for non-UEFI BIOS.
The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, or
UEFI, is a modern method of handling the boot
process. UEFI is similar to Legacy; however,
the boot data is stored in a .efi file rather
than the firmware.
In the case of Fedora, while the change may
take some time, the new Fedora x86_64
installations will no longer work on non-UEFI
platforms.
On x86_64 architectures, Fedora 37 will mark
legacy BIOS installation as deprecated in
favor of UEFI. While systems already using
Legacy BIOS to boot will continue to be
supported, new Legacy BIOS installations on
these architectures will be impossible.

The new version of Raspberry Pi OS comes a
little over two months after the previous one
and it’s the first to finally bump the kernel
version from Linux 5.10 LTS to Linux 5.15 LTS
in an attempt to provide users with some new
features that weren’t present in the previous
kernel series.
Linux kernel 5.15.30 is included by default
in the new Raspberry Pi OS release, though
you should know that Linux 5.15 will only be
supported until October 2023 while Linux
kernel 5.10 LTS will be supported until
December 2026.

expect it soon after Ubuntu 22.04 LTS release
later this month.
In the latest monthly blog post, Clem
Lefebvre (Linux Mint founder) revealed that
Linux Mint 21, codenamed “Vanessa,” will be
the next upgrade based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
# ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Canonical_Experiences_Record_Channel
Business_Growth_and_Momentum_|_Ubuntu⠀⇛
Canonical, the publisher of Ubuntu, announced
today that its channel partner program has
seen upwards of 240% growth within the past
year. At the forefront of this momentum is
the continued growth of the company’s
partner-led business, with new and existing
partners actively driving Canonical’s
offerings into the market.
Driven primarily by the accelerating growth
established through distribution partnerships
in Europe and North America, Canonical grew
many strategic channel partner relationships
and selectively onboarded new partners.
# ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ Pop!_OS_Teases_Intrepid_Linux_Users

Pop!_OS, a custom version of Ubuntu developed
by Linux preinstalled PC maker System 76, has
made beta images of the upcoming 22.04
version of the Linux distribution available.
However, it’s only intended for users
undaunted by the bugs that will inevitably be
present.
# ⚓ Xubuntu_22.04_LTS_–_New_Features_and_Release
Details⠀⇛
Xubuntu 22.04 LTS is powered by Linux Kernel
5.15 and underlying packages from Ubuntu
22.04 LTS. In addition to that, the default
desktop environment version is Xfce 4.16. The
Xfce desktop environment did not see any
significant release since its release in Dec
2020.
Even so the Xfce desktop version 4.16
remained as the Xubuntu 21.10 (last release),
and the desktop components and native
applications get some improvements and bug
fixes.
Perhaps the vital work in this release is the
initial support for GTK4 and libhandy in the
Greybird theme (via version 3.23.1). That
means the GTK4 apps from the GNOME ecosystem
look good in Xubuntu with their theme.

# ⚓ GIMP_2.10_review⠀⇛
GIMP is the best free photo editor
available right now – certainly the
most powerful. Is it better than paid-
for tools like Adobe’s Photoshop, or
Affinity Photo? No – these are easier
to use, and in the case of Photoshop,
more advanced. GIMP lacks the cutting-
edge, AI-powered features like smart
object selection or neural filters that
are starting to appear in Adobe
software (see the best AI photo editing
software for more options). It’s also
worth mentioning that Adobe tools are
generally the standard in creative
industries, so if you’re looking to
make a career in design or publishing,
it may be worth getting used to Adobe
early.
For painters and illustrators, while
GIMP will certainly give you a lot of
tools, Krita (opens in new tab) is a
more comprehensive free option, with a
larger selection of brushes. If you’re
looking for a free graphic design tool
for posters or infographics, again,
GIMP will do the job, but there are
free options that will give you less of
a headache. As already mentioned, Canva
(opens in new tab) is a less powerful
but much more user-friendly and
streamlined tool for these kinds of
tasks. Adobe’s Creative Cloud Express
is also now giving Canva a run for its
money.
# § Licensing/Legal⠀➾

AGPLv3_removes_freedoms,_adds_legal_headaches
[Ed: User beware: OSI is promoting Microsoft
proprietary software in exchange for bribes; OSI
does not warn people about Microsoft and instead
focuses on other things]⠀⇛
In a prior post, we reported on a
decision from a U.S. district court
holding that it was false advertising
for a company to claim that software
licensed under the Affero General
Public License version 3 with the
addition of the Commons Clause
(referred to in the case as the “Neo4j
Sweden Software License”) was “free and
open source” software. Unfortunately
that case contains one more decision
that is already raising concerns among
the open source community.
Defendants in this case had forked the
Neo4j software and removed the Commons
Clause from their now-AGPLv3 licensed
fork. They did this relying on AGPLv3
Section 7 that permits a licensee to
remove any “further restriction” – such
as non-commercial use – imposed beyond
those listed in AGPLv3. However, the
court held that the defendants were not
allowed to redistribute the software
without the Commons Clause license.
That conclusion goes against the intent
of the drafters of the AGPLv3. The
GPLv3 Second Discussion Draft Rationale
says in footnote 73 that the
restriction was aimed at the copyright
owners themselves: “Here we are
particularly concerned about the
practice of program authors who purport
to license their works under the GPL
with an additional requirement that
contradicts the terms of the GPL, such
as a prohibition on commercial use.”

o ⚓ Choosing_SOFA⠀⇛
The SOFA (Start Often Finish rArely) attitude is
something I’ve often resented in my own self because I
wasted—or it felt like waste, at the time—my life up to
age 26 or so before I had the toolbox to more
intentionally and directedly focus my time. I learned a
wide variety of things but very shallowly. I’ve certainly
been very grateful for the more directed efforts I’ve
made since, but, as usual, people are coming from
different directions on this and maybe the grass is
always greener.
o ⚓ [Older]_The_pandemic_shows_that_the_state_is_already_withering
away,_just_not_in_the_cool_way_Marx_and_Engels_predicted⠀⇛
Consider the U.S. response to the pandemic. It has been
utterly and completely abhorrent. Insofar as there has
been any attempt at mitigation by the state, it has been
in the form of pharmaceutical and medical intervention
(vaccines, masks, medicines, etc.), but largely lacking
anything that could be called public health intervention
(lockdowns, business shutdowns, work restrictions, cash
subsidies, etc.). Yes, early on back in the ancient days
of 2020, there were short and poorly planed lockdowns and
a couple small handouts in the form of cash and
unemployment increases. But these are all long gone and
aren’t even being considered at the current moment, when
infections are the worst they’ve even been by a factor of
about two.
What is interesting about this? The acceptable
interventions all center around the flow of
*commodities*, physical objects for sale. Unacceptable
interventions are all *behavioral* and based on adjusting
human relationships. If the solution involves buying and
selling things, then it’s considered politically
reasonable by the “adults in the room”. If it involves
even the slightest change in the relationship between
boss and worker or the behavior between neighbor and
neighbor, then it’s considered politically impossible.

Anker is better known for its charger and power
banks, but the company has now entered the 3D
printer market with the AnkerMake M5 3D printer
which is said to print five times faster and comes
with an AI camera for monitoring the prints.

The Justice Department today announced a court-
authorized operation, conducted in March 2022, to
disrupt a two-tiered global botnet of thousands of
infected network hardware devices under the control
of a threat actor known to security researchers as
Sandworm, which the U.S. government has previously
attributed to the Main Intelligence Directorate of
the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the
Russian Federation (the GRU). The operation copied
and removed malware from vulnerable internet-
connected firewall devices that Sandworm used for
command and control (C2) of the underlying botnet.
Although the operation did not involve access to
the Sandworm malware on the thousands of underlying
victim devices worldwide, referred to as “bots,”
the disabling of the C2 mechanism severed those
bots from the Sandworm C2 devices’ control.
