Summary: Microsoft’s slide into irrelevance carries on this summer (no wonder

Posted in GNU/Linux at 5:24 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
As the month reaches its end, consider this_tentative_data_for_August:
🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNU/Linux grows⦈
Some Web browsers in GNU/Linux (like LibreWolf on my machine) identity as
“Windows” even though they’re on GNU/Linux; Microsoft is aware of this trend
and is resorting to illegal_actions
Summary: Excluding ChromeOS and Android (which also contain Linux), what we see
here is ongoing growth of GNU/Linux and “Unknown” (certainly not Microsoft and
Apple); in some countries GNU/Linux rose above 20% in market share in_recent
months, contributing to this tide

Czech dictator meets well-connected_corrupt_criminal based in_Germany
Summary: This August was fascinating in the sense that we grappled with likely
legally-invalid threats from Germany, on behalf of someone from the Czech
Republic
As we noted_here_last_week, something we wrote about EPO_corruption an entire
year ago attracted the attention of some German patent troll, who seems to be
scattering threats to a lot of sites. For the public record it’s worth
outlining what’s wrong with those threats.
First of all, the date on the Power of Attorney letter is June, i.e. 2 months
earlier. Has he been on a ‘crusade’ for two months already? As someone told us
a week ago, maybe he sends 100,000 such letters. But who knows…
But let’s go back to the beginning and explain what happened.
Earlier this month I received a nasty (and frivolous) letter from a lawyer/
attorney, but it was so weak and baseless that it seemed safe to ignore. Maybe
I’ll publish a full copy at a later date, but it would likely help the troll
more than it harms the troll. We’ve already seen so-called ‘researchers’
wasting sites’ time by sending them threats to ‘study’ the response. 8 days
later another letter was sent, this time too following more of a script. It
didn’t seem personalised, except a name and address (which seemed wrong).
This is a copyright troll, as per the definition, sending messages only/mostly
on Friday nights (that’s strategic sometimes; it denies access to legal
advice). I ended up attaching all the material, sending it to people who
specialise in copyright trolls. This needed cataloging.
What’s wrong with the threat?
Among many issues:
* he does not specify an actual page but a group of pages
* he does not specify which image
* it seems to be sent in bulk to many people (several things make this
rather obvious)
* it’s actually a low-resolution meme, hence fair use likely
* I’m not based in Germany
I’m not subjected to US law, either
this was posted a year ago
it’s in post in the public interest, not for-profit (it’s about corruption at
the EPO)
I still don’t know what photo he talks about, but it is likely a depiction of
nature (again, subjecting that to fair use doctrine)
In short, it seems like someone is wasting money and time on clueless law
firms, or maybe they look for easy targets with no access to legal advice on
Friday.
I decided to write about this tonight as this Friday, for a change, no
communication arrived.
One can trivially see he follows a script. Notice date.
🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Signed in June⦈
June? Really?
I sent this short reply almost 15 days ago*, asking” [w]hich specific image are
you talking about?” He never responded to my message. He seems to work like a
script or a bot, not even keeping abreast of anything mildly “off-script”.
He should be disbarred. This is abuse or misuse of power, not following very
simple protocols, misinforming his targets later on a Friday.
I know a thing or too about patent bullies trying to use “copyrights” to muzzle
criticism or scare critics; it happened before and they ended up with an egg in
their face, without me even needing a lawyer.
Does this have anything to do with the EPO itself? Hard to tell. For reasons
specified last week, it’s not impossible, but the simpler explanation is that
we’re caught in the drift net of a copyright troll.
“Does this have anything to do with the EPO itself? Hard to tell. For reasons
specified last week, it’s not impossible, but the simpler explanation is that
we’re caught in the drift net of a copyright troll.”Remember that the EPO’s
management is wasting over 6 million euros (with approval from Josef and the
other puppets) on lawyers whose sole purpose is to fight against EPO staff in
court. Josef is the head of the ‘IP’ office in the Czech Republic, which is
incidentally the same nationality as the name above.
One possible theory here is that we’re dealing combative legal hacks who are
battling people with legitimate grievances by reaching out to deep pockets, not
by presenting anything of merit (like complainants drowning out the respondents
with paperwork to waste time, until they run out of budget and simply give up).
We ought not end up in a society where law firms and lawyers are manifestations
of SLAPP, e.g. the formalisation of a totally bullshit/bullish “system” whereby
rich people can twist “the law” to do anything to people whom they dislike. In
dictatorships, the prosecutors too are doing this, with their mates called
“judges” (wearing various lousy costumes). In the EPO we saw numerous examples
of this.
Having sought some advice and discussed this with people who know copyright
trolling very well, one of them told me: “I think you just ignore them. I’m not
a lawyer, but I doubt that filing a suit against you in the USA will be cheaper
than the maximum damages you’d be forced to pay. If you don’t have an EU
presence and/or bank account, they’re probably out of luck.”
“They operate in complete darkness, recklessly breaking laws, and the legal
threats come to people who expose the corruption, not those who are responsible
for the corruption.”I still think in the grand scheme of things it is plausible
that this is connected to SLAPP over EPO reporting, based on the track record
of EPO management. It will never be possible to prove such a thing though.
Another person whom I’ve asked about this said it is “clearly impossible to
remove an image if you don’t know which one it is. IANAL, but if he won’t
specify, seems empty threat at the moment…”
The amount of corruption at the EPO is just unbelievable and it is closely
connected to EUIPO/OHIM, i.e. the EU (I’m pro-EU, but this is just horrible).
The corruption is so profound that they corrupt the media, bribe the national
delegations, stack the courts etc. We need the wider public involved in this
battle, as we’re dealing with a kind of “mafia” here and thus we get lots of
whistleblowers. Sadly, the ombudsman too never mentions these issues. They
operate in complete darkness, recklessly breaking laws, and the legal threats
come to people who expose the corruption, not those who are responsible for the
corruption. █

Hi,
the post http://techrights.org/2021/12/13/credit-to-norway/ contains
memes from a meme site, https://imgflip.com
That's where I got it from.
Which specific image are you talking about?
I'll remove it as soon as you identify which one.

Social Control Media Metrics Are Lies
Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0
http://techrights.org/videos/fake-media-metrics.webm
Summary: Whistleblowers from Facebook, Twitter and maybe more companies to come
have revealed information of interest to the general public and it’s hard to
simply discredit such high-profile staff; one foregone conclusion is that these
companies are misleading their own users and are well aware of that
EARLY this_morning we published an article about YouTube faking its numbers,
just like Twitter does (or turns a blind eye when people game their numbers).
It helps mislead shareholders (investors), compelling them to keep pouring more
money into a failing, losing (no financial gain) venture, based on a misguided
sense of future potential.
“People who wish to have true impact on the Web should diversify (the Web is a
shrinking platform) and host their own stuff. Try more protocols. Gemini is
easy to self-host, even from one’s own home.”Less than a week ago a high-level
Twitter executive, who had been fired, blew the whistle. While the focus of his
revelations is partly political and not relevant to our focus on rotting
‘social’ media, part of what he said affirms what we’ve repeatedly said in
recent months. It seems like a huge issue not just in Twitter but also its
competitors (probably TikTok as well). The bottom line is, people should simply
assume that all these platforms lie to users about reach, engagement etc. They
try to keep them “hooked” based on a fictional status or sense of importance/
popularity.
People who wish to have true impact on the Web should diversify (the Web is a
shrinking platform) and host their own stuff. Try more protocols. Gemini is
easy to self-host, even from one’s own home. It won’t be addictive, no
‘gamification’ in it, but overall it’s long-lasting and not subjected to
censorship that aggravates over time (Twitter and YouTube both became more
overzealous and censorious over the years). █

(Bot_Activity)in_Order_to_Fake_Its_Size(Audience_Magnitude)⠀✐
Posted in Deception, Google at 12:42 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
The relative share (% of social control media) of YouTube and Twitter, based on
a data_source (OpenDocument_Format):
🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇The_share_(%)_social_control_media⦈_
Summary: A lot of numbers (or visible counters like views, subscribers etc.) in
YouTube are basically fake and Google tolerates this because it gives
shareholders a false sense of impact and financial viability
Here in Techrights we’ve long presented various complaints about what YouTube
did and had become, based on people who know the platform very well. It is
infested with marketing, spam, bots, and abuse, not to mention misinformation
and rampant censorship. It’s the sort of “free” platform one should avoid like
the plague (or COVID-19); it’s not free at all, you’re just agreeing to give
Gulag/Alphabet control over your life (or your publications, audience and so
on).
Right now in YouTube (GulagTube) there is this_controversy_brewing. Racism by
moderators? Seems like it. Posting while black (in GulagTube) can get you badly
discriminated against. What’s OK for some people isn’t OK for others.
Wanna bet Gulag would seek ‘revenge’ if you call them racist (in order to
protect the racists) in their own platforms? It’s like censorship being used or
misused to cover up acts of censorship. Arbitrary moderation/preferences (like
deranking or boosting things) isn’t done by “algorithms” or “Hey Hi” (AI).
People actually code in these biases and they supervise/encourage the biases.
But the reason we write this isn’t to debate censorship or racism. It’s about
Google (Gulag) faking its importance. It bought the leading online video
platform a decade and a half ago and (like Microsoft with GitHub and Skype) the
platform’s lead is gradually lost. Never mind the financial losses, which is a
problem that Twitter has as well. In Gulag’s case, they used to pour in money
to ‘incentivise’ so-called ‘creators’ and pay out for ads. That sort of stopped
in recent years, however gradually. There’s plenty of debate about this; it’s
not just the subject of mere speculation. Many so-called ‘creators’ aren’t
happy; some explore alternatives. There are many channels that simply became
inactive.
The main subject of this post is clickfraud. Last week I reported clickfraud to
YouTube, seeing it was getting_a_lot_worse and more blatant. Did Google review
the report? Probably not. It does not surprise me as I witnessed the exact same
thing in Twitter. The “appeals” process is also bot-operated. It’s probably
there just for legal (compliance) reasons and the video below explains how dumb
it can be to even bother! It’s like no human will be assigned to actually
review decisions as “that’s too expensive…”
But the bottom line is that, at least in my experience, GulagTube simply
ignores reports of clickfraud. Put another way, Gulag Inc. (Alphabet) is
tolerating clickfraud as long as it makes the platform look up to 20 times
bigger than it really is. One cannot trust the numbers there as they’re heavily
gamed (it can impress Alphabet shareholders; they’re barely even informed about
the financial losses). In effect, Gulag supports the ‘black market’ of fake
clicks. Twitter_does_the_same. Thankfully some whistleblowers come out,
speaking about such things. We need more whistleblowers. We need better media,
too. █

* § GNU/Linux⠀➾
o § Server⠀➾
# ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Strictly_Confined_MicroK8s⠀⇛
In summary, it is a snap confinement level that
provides complete isolation, up to a minimal access
level that’s always deemed safe. Strictly confined
snaps can not access files, networks, processes, or
any other system resource without requesting
specific access. Strict confinement uses security
features of the Linux kernel, including AppArmor,
seccomp, and namespaces to prevent applications and
services from accessing the wider system.
o § Applications⠀➾
# ⚓ Linux Links ☛ Spotify_TUI_–_Spotify_client_for_the
terminal⠀⇛
Spotify provide a semi-official app for the
service. But third-party clients are available for
Spotify Premium users. Spotify blocks API access to
their audio for non-premium members.
We recently reviewed spotify-qt, a lightweight
graphical Spotify client written in C++. For this
review, we’re looking at Spotify TUI. It’s a
Spotify client for the terminal written in Rust.
o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾
# ⚓ Linux Shell Tips ☛ Homebrew_–_Basics_Commands_and_Cheat
Sheet_for_Linux⠀⇛
A very exciting aspect of using the Linux operating
system is the infinite number of packages we can
install and explore. However, to install and use a
package on a Linux operating system, we are
presented with two approaches.
The first approach is to use the package manager
associated with your Linux distribution to search
and install a targeted application package. The
second approach is to download the source code
associated with the targeted application package,
compile, and install it.
# ⚓ James G ☛ On_Ubuntu,_AppArmor_is_quite_persistent_and_likes
to_reappear_on_you⠀⇛
We don’t like AppArmor, in large part because it
doesn’t work in our environment; the net effect of
allowing AppArmor to do anything is that
periodically various things break mysteriously (for
instance, Evince stops working because your
$XAUTHORITY is on an NFS mounted filesystem). We do
our best to not install AppArmor at all, and if it
gets dragged in by package dependencies, we try to
disable it with a heaping helping of systemd
manipulation: [...]
o § WINE or Emulation⠀➾
# ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ CrossOver_22_released_for_running_Windows
apps_and_games_on_Linux⠀⇛
CodeWeavers, the company that works on Proton with
Valve and supports Wine development, has announced
the released of CrossOver 22.0.0. This is their
special proprietary interface for helping users
across Linux, macOS and Chrome OS work with
applications and games designed for Windows on
their platform of choice.
o § Games⠀➾
# ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ SD_GUNDAM_BATTLE_ALLIANCE_works_out_of_the
box_on_Steam_Deck_and_Linux⠀⇛
SD GUNDAM BATTLE ALLIANCE is a brand new release
from ARTDINK and Bandai Namco Entertainment. The
good news is that it works out of the box at
release on Steam Deck and Linux desktop. Battle
Alliance is pretty much a hack and slash, blended
together with some Anime visual novel story
elements in between missions. Available to play
solo or online with up to 2 others.
# ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ One_Lonely_Outpost_gets_a_new_trailer_and_a
delay_until_2023⠀⇛
One Lonely Outpost is an upcoming sci-fi
colonization life and farming sim that was
crowdfunded on Kickstarter. It was due this year
but it’s now delayed but it seems progress is good.
# ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Valve_testing_new_mobile_Steam_app_with_QR
codes_for_sign_ins⠀⇛
Valve are now testing a new version of the Steam
app for Android and iOS, which comes with a much
more modern design and a QR code login system too.
# ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Spider-Man_Remastered_update_out,_has_a
couple_Steam_Deck_fixes⠀⇛
Spider-Man Remastered is an absolutely awesome game
and it’s great on both Steam Deck and Linux
desktop! A new patch is out with plenty of fixes.
This Deck Verified title has no doubt been sucking
away plenty of your time right?
# ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Check_out_my_appearance_with_Brodie_on_Tech
Over_Tea⠀⇛
I had the pleasure of speaking to Brodie Robertson
recently on the subject of Linux Gaming, Steam Deck
and all sorts of things for you to sit back and
chill with. This was over on Brodie’s Tech Over Tea
channel.
o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾
# § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾
# ⚓ Its FOSS ☛ Want_to_Help_Improve_GNOME?_This_New_Tool
Gives_You_the_Chance!⠀⇛
GNOME has come up with a tool that lets users
provide anonymous insights about their
configurations, extensions, and GNOME-tuned
settings.
This should help GNOME learn more about user
preferences and make better decisions to
enhance the user experience.
Interestingly, an intern at Red Hat (Vojtech
Stanek) created this tool.
The tool (gnome-info-collect) is a simple
terminal program that you need to download,
install, and run to share the data with
GNOME.
* § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾
o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾
# ⚓ CentOS ☛ CentOS_Automotive_SIG:_First_Year_in_Review_–
Blog.CentOS.org⠀⇛
In August 2021, the CentOS Automotive SIG launched
and held its first meeting with 36 participants. We
had no infrastructure, no solid architectural
plans, and no documentation – just a very motivated
group that very quickly grew beyond Red Hat and
into the automotive community.
[...]
While we are proud of this work so far, it is just
the beginning as we develop our relationships with
other communities, including SOAFEE and Eclipse
SDV, and further refine AutoSD.
o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾
# ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Open_source_FPGA_dev_board_offers_custom
RISC-V_development_environment⠀⇛
The Bajiu Lite is a FPGA development board with an
open-source RISC-V development environment called
CRiscV. The open source CRiscV software seems to be
based on VexRiscv customized for the Bajiu Lite
board. The product has been developed by Dragon Li
Studio and it will be launched via CrowdSupply.
The Bajiu Lite product page doesn’t clearly specify
which FPGA is integrated on the board. However, the
image displayed for the Bajiu Lite seems to feature
the Trion T20F169 from Efinix. The product page
mentions that the board can achieve frequencies
greater than 150MHz with low power consumption
(unspecified).
# ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Pi_Pico_Gives_Its_Life_For_Overclocking⠀⇛
How fast can a Raspberry Pi Pico go? Well,
apparently the answer is 1 GHz if you freeze it and
give it over twice the voltage it normally gets.
Oh, one catch. After a few minutes, the chip will
fry itself.
# ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Multispectral_Imaging_System_Built_With
Raspberry_Pi⠀⇛
Multispectral imaging can be a useful tool,
revealing all manner of secrets hidden to the human
eye. [elad orbach] built a rig to perform such
imaging using the humble Raspberry Pi.
# ⚓ SparkFun Electronics ☛ Happy_National_Radio_Day!_–_News_–
SparkFun_Electronics⠀⇛
There’s more to light than what meets the eye –
literally. Visible light is a very small subsection
of the entire electromagnetic spectrum, but it’s
all we can see with our own eyes. The other bands
of light exist on either side of visible light on
the spectrum. Gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet on
one end, then infrared, microwaves and radio waves
on the other; all invisible to us, but able to be
studied and detected through years of discovery and
research. And radio is the name of the game today
because August 20th is National Radio Day! We’re
gonna do a deep dive on all things radio and show
you how you can master this invisible method of
communication at SparkFun!

# ⚓ Android Police ☛ Best_strategy_games_for_Android_in_2022⠀⇛
* § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾
o ⚓ OpenSource.com ☛ My_open_source_journey_from_user_to_contributor
to_CTO⠀⇛
When people ask me what I love most about open source, my
answer is simple: It’s the openness. With open source,
the work that community developers and contributors do is
in the public domain for all to see and benefit from. I
couldn’t love that philosophy more.
How many people can say that about the fruits of their
labor? How many, perhaps 50 years from now, can look back
and say, “Check out the code I wrote that day that
hundreds/thousands/tens of thousands benefited from.” I
find that infinitely more exciting than working on
software that’s hidden from most of the world.
o § Programming/Development⠀➾
# ⚓ Rlang ☛ Exploding_German_Electricity_Prices:_Some_Time
Series⠀⇛
German wholesale electricity prices in August 2022
are extremely high with an average of 397 Euro /
MWh (EPEX day ahead prices until 19th of August).
That is more than 10 fold the average prices in
2019 (38.3 Euro / MWh) and 2020 (31 Euro / MWh).
# ⚓ Rlang ☛ Why_Posit_Means_Growth_for_the_R_Community⠀⇛
Whether you heard it in person at rstudio::conf
(2022) or caught the news through the internet
grapevine, RStudio PBC is rebranding itself to –
Posit PBC.
# ⚓ Daniel Lemire ☛ Catching_sanitizer_errors_programmatically
–_Daniel_Lemire’s_blog⠀⇛
The C and C++ languages offer little protection
against programmer errors. Errors do not always
show up where you expect. You can silently corrupt
the content of your memory. It can make bugs
difficult to track. To solve this problem, I am a
big fan of programming in C and C++ using
sanitizers. They slow your program, but the check
that memory accesses are safe, for example.
o § Standards/Consortia⠀➾
# ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 40_years_of_CDs_:_From_listening_pleasure
to_useless_trash?⠀⇛
In 1981, the CD was presented at the Berlin Radio
Exhibition. The first industrially produced discs
rolled off the production line on August 17, 1982,
and legend has it that the ABBA album “The
Visitors” was burned on them. Perhaps it was also a
recording of Richard Strauss’ “An Alpine Symphony,”
conducted by Herbert von Karajan, who had outed
himself as a big fan of the CD from the very
beginning, describing it as “a miracle.” Another
legend says it was waltzes by Chopin that were
pressed onto the first CDs.
* § Leftovers⠀➾
o ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Reviewing As They_Made_Us⠀⇛
I wondered about what their lives growing up must have
been. Bialik does not go there. That would have blurred
the film’s clear focus.
o ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ The_Sucker_and_the_Citizen⠀⇛
Wouldn’t you know it, a reporter wouldn’t get some grand
metaphorical, utopian vision transcending this veil of
vicissitudes. I get a simile of them.
o ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Why_Black_American_Art_Matters_Right_Now⠀⇛
Just recently, however, that situation has changed
drastically in an entirely unexpected way. When I started
publishing criticism in 1980, almost all of the art I saw
and wrote about in New York was by white men. The many
Black artists were not prominently discussed. Indeed, it
wasn’t until 1997 that I first reviewed a Black artist’s
show. Starting soon after World War Two the American
armed forces were integrated – to use that old fashioned
verb. And then Black players appeared in Major League
baseball and African-American stars in opera. But the art
world, which took a while to support women, was very slow
to support Black people. In the past couple of years,
however, in a long overdue development rather suddenly
that has changed. Black artists (many of them not young),
curators, writers and even collectors are in the news.
And the theorizing of Greenberg and his successors at
October has been entirely superseded.
o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Buy_The_Right_To_Build_A_Nakagin_Tower_Anywhere⠀⇛
We’re guessing that among Hackaday’s readership are
plenty of futurists, and while the past might be the
wrong direction in which to look when considering
futurism, we wouldn’t blame any of them for hankering for
the days when futurism was mainstream.
o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Tech_In_Plain_Sight:_Rain-Sensing_Wipers⠀⇛
While it is definitely a first-world problem that you
don’t want to manually turn on your windshield wipers
when it starts raining, it is also one of those things
that probably sounds easier to solve than it really is.
After all, you can ask a four-year-old if it is raining
and expect a reasonable answer. But how do you ask that
question of a computer? Especially a tiny cheap computer
that is operating pretty much on its own.
o ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Opinion_|_The_Dance_of_Sympathy_on_a_Planet_Gone
Mad⠀⇛
In the White Mountains of New Hampshire, I gathered last
week with a group of antiwar activists where we talked of
the grim issues confronting the globe. Nuclear war,
conventional war, drone war, Climate Catastrophe,
American Imperialism, our Culture of Militarism. The
world is in a dire, cataclysmic state. We are, it seems,
a hairsbreadth from annihilating ourselves.
o ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Opinion_|_The_Light_in_Our_Lives⠀⇛
Relax, kick back, enjoy life.
o § Education⠀➾
# ⚓ The Verge ☛ Duolingo_has_math_now_(and_it’s_kind_of_hard)⠀⇛
The topics that follow multiplication include
division, fractions, area, perimeter, angles,
telling time, and other things I promptly forgot
how to do as soon as I graduated from high school.
You get a vertical progression of lessons that
build on each other as you go along.
# ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Students_Deserve_Better:_First_Columbus
Teachers_Strike_in_Almost_50_Years⠀⇛
An overwhelming 94 percent of teachers and
education workers in Columbus, Ohio voted to go on
strike Monday. They are demanding smaller class
sizes, safe school buildings, and fully-funded
arts, mu…
# ⚓ TruthOut ☛ The_Far_Right_Is_Taking_Over_Florida_School

# ⚓ CNX Software ☛ HiPo_batteryless_NFC-powered_3.52-inch_e-
Paper_display_also_comes_with_an_SPI_interface_
(Crowdfunding)⠀⇛
# ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Objective_Hotend_Performance_Measurement_Is
Hard⠀⇛
Evaluating the performance of 3D printers and
component upgrades is a more difficult than it may
seem at first glance, and subjective observations
can lead to incorrect conclusions. To objectively
determine the maximum flow rates of different FDM
3D printer hotends, [MirageC] is developing a
robust testing standard backed by more than just
visual observations.
# ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_Self-Spinning_Tennis_Ball_To_Surprise_Your
Opponent⠀⇛
In many ball sports like golf, football and tennis,
controlling the ball’s spin is an important skill.
Expert players can make golf balls curve around
obstacles, launch footballs towards goal posts from
impossible angles, or confuse their opponents by
making a tennis ball bounce in a completely
unexpected direction.
# ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Printable_One-Way_Driver_Skips_Ratchet_For_A
Clutch⠀⇛
Ratcheting screwdrivers can help you work faster,
even if their bulk means they’re not the best
option for working in tight spaces. [ukman] decided
to build a similar device of his own, relying on a
slightly different mechanism — an overrunning
clutch.
o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾
# ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Big_tech_gone_bad:_Google_blocks_accounts
based_on_false_child_exploitation_filter⠀⇛
The New York Times today reported that a San
Francisco-based tech worker named only “Mark” — who
ironically works for an unnamed tech company in
content filtering — was banned by Google LLC for “a
severe violation of Google’s policies and might be
illegal” after his son became ill and photos were
taken of his son. In this case, the child had an
issue with his penis and after being asked by a
medical professional, his wife had taken photos and
sent them online through his Google account for a
consultation.
Google’s AI and filtering tagged the photos as
child abuse without taking into context the
situation. An incorrect or out-of-context block
from Google is not greatly surprising. What
happened next, though, is arguably appalling.
# ⚓ NPR ☛ A_New_Jersey_city_achieved_0_traffic_deaths_in_4
years_with_quick,_high_impact_ideas⠀⇛
“One thing that you won’t see is something called a
leading pedestrian interval,” Sharp said. “And
basically, what that means is we’ve programmed our
traffic signals to give pedestrians a few-second
head start when they get into the crosswalk during
their pedestrian phase without having to worry
about turning vehicles.”
# ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ House_Report_Shows_Trump_‘Deliberately_and

“Politicians may think they know better than

lives.”
o § Proprietary⠀➾
# ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Australia_an_increasingly_attractive_traget_for
cybercriminals:_report⠀⇛
The alert comes from the Cyber Security Industry
Advisory Committee (IAC) i its Annual Report 2022,
with Chairman and Telstra CEO Andrew Penn
commenting that deteriorating geopolitical
tensions, the expansion of hybrid work outside
traditional corporate firewalls and adaptive
offenders saw cybercrimes including ransomware,
mobile malware and business email compromise (BEC)

The western United States is, famously, in the
grips of its worst megadrought in a millennium. The
Colorado River, which supplies water to more than
40 million Americans and supports food production
for the rest of the country, is in imminent peril.
The levels in the nation’s largest freshwater
reservoir, Lake Mead, behind the Hoover Dam and a
fulcrum of the Colorado River basin, have dropped
to around 25% of capacity. The Bureau of
Reclamation, which governs lakes Mead and Powell
and water distribution for the southern end of the
river, has issued an ultimatum: The seven states
that draw from the Colorado must find ways to cut
their consumption — by as much as 40% — or the
federal government will do it for them. Last week
those states failed to agree on new conservation
measures by deadline. Meanwhile, next door,
California, which draws from the Colorado, faces
its own additional crises, with snowpack and water
levels in both its reservoirs and aquifers all
experiencing a steady, historic and climate-driven
decline. It’s a national emergency, but not a
surprise, as scientists and leaders have been
warning for a generation that warming plus overuse
of water in a fast-growing West would lead those
states to run out.

underground, in the dense, deep root networks of

The most recent reports from the IPCC (made up of

urgent action. And yet despite the warnings and
pleas, made by scientists, activists, concerned
citizens, over decades, little of substance is
happening and still ‘the environment’ is not the
top priority for governments. Yes, awareness is
growing and some changes are underway: Dozens of
countries have committed to achieving Net-Zero (not
actual zero) greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by
2050, or 2060 as with China. But there is a gaping
chasm between political rhetoric and policies/
action to meet their commitments – the
‘Implementation Gap’ is huge. As Antonio Guterres
put it, “Government and business leaders are saying
one thing, but doing another. Simply put, they are
lying.” The US has just passed a major climate

The rich man that’s unable to find happiness

[...]
This in turn tempts many people, especially young
people, to swear off the making of money as a
valuable goal.
In itself, this can be fine if you smell your goals
well enough from an early age. If you are certain
that what you want is to hobo-backpack across the
globe thrice, or have a quiet cliffside
Mediterranean restaurant, or seek enlightenment …
then yeah, you probably shouldn’t aim to make
money.
But there’s also a typology of a person that is
young, doesn’t have a clear set of “meanings” for
their life in mind, yet chooses not to focus on
money because it seems to be inherently
meaningless.
I’d single out this: a type of person that feels
like there are meaningful things to do, but they
are unachievable. Things like settling on Mars or
the Arctic, stopping violence, eliminating poverty,
curing disease and death, eliminating “evil”,
“solving” human biology, or physics, or finding a
perfect system of metaphysics.
This results in a lot of intellectual meandering in
the best-case scenario and in depressive behavior
in the worst-case scenario: It leads anywhere from
doing a bachelor’s in philosophy and a Ph.D. in a
quantitative field, to being lethargic, and staying
in bed watching Youtube(TikTok?) all day.
If you count yourself among such people, I want to
try and persuade you that money might actually be a
generator of meaning if pursued and thought about
properly.

money you need in order to achieve a paradigm
shift”. For some people, having 200k worth of
savings might be enough to shift their paradigm to
“now I can live frugally off savings and dedicate
my life to joining a deworming project in Africa”.
Others might need 50m to shift their paradigm to
“now I can lead the world into colonizing space and
solving last-mile clean energy delivery issues”.
Wealth can result in a paradigm shift, both for
people and companies. But if you read about people
or companies that made an impact assisted by their
assets, one thing of note is that the paradigm
shift usually didn’t come until they realized they
had the assets to pursue new “unimaginable” goals.
Finally, there’s the oft-repeated but true line:
wealth is inflow minus outflow. Many people that we
think of as rich are dirt poor once you account for
taxes and monthly expenses. Money is useful when it
opens up degrees of freedom in the socio-economic
environment, it’s useless when spent on status
goods and other zero-sum games (e.g. housing in
large cities).

In a much-anticipated move, President Biden has

Republicans decry the plan as “student debt
socialism.” We speak to Astra Taylor, writer,

union for debtors and one of the original advocates
for a debt jubilee that would cancel all student
debt. Despite the mixed reaction, “this is
incredibly significant when you think about where

One of the most unpleasant arrangements in the
current structure of student debt in the US is the
government charges interest rates for it that are
much higher than corresponding rates charged by
banks holding their share of the total debt.
Government rates range from 4.99% to 7.4% while
bank rates are around 3.2% (fixed) to 1.3%
(variable). The differential in rates is clearly
designed to push students to ‘consolidate’ their
annual education loans with the US Dept. of
Education to private banks. Thus, the private
banking sector is given a significant cut of the
student debt pie. Loans for both go up annually and
are will rise in 2022-23 and after as general
interest rates rise by Federal Reserve actions.

about targeting U.S. citizens for
extrajudicial murder, they’ve lied about
their use of torture, they’ve lied about
violently meddling in other countries’

illegally, unconstitutionally spying on us

they’ve changed facts and figures and
destroyed or buried the truth over and over
on matters of the utmost importance to

# ⚓ UNHEARD_VOICE:_Evaluating_five_years_of_pro-Western
covert_influence_operations [PDF]⠀⇛
In July and August 2022, Twitter and Meta
removed two overlapping sets of accounts for
violating their platforms’ terms of service.
Twitter said the accounts fell foul of its
policies on “platform manipulation and spam,”
while Meta said the assets on its platforms
engaged in “coordinated inauthentic
behavior.” After taking down the assets, both
platforms provided portions of the activity
to Graphika and the Stanford Internet
Observatory (SIO) for further analysis.
Our joint investigation found an
interconnected web of accounts on Twitter,
Facebook, Instagram, and five other social
media platforms that used deceptive tactics
to promote pro-Western narratives in the
Middle East and Central Asia. The platforms’
datasets appear to cover a series of covert
campaigns over a period of almost five years
rather than one homogeneous operation.
These campaigns consistently advanced
narratives promoting the interests of the
United States and its allies while opposing
countries including Russia, China, and Iran.
The accounts heavily criticized Russia in
particular for the deaths of innocent
civilians and other atrocities its soldiers
committed in pursuit of the Kremlin’s
“imperial ambitions” following its invasion
of Ukraine in February this year. To promote
this and other narratives, the accounts
sometimes shared news articles from U.S.
government-funded media outlets, such as
Voice of America and Radio Free Europe, and
links to websites sponsored by the U.S.
military. A portion of the activity also
promoted anti-extremism messaging.

According to the report, Twitter and Meta

accounts’ activity, researchers found that
the accounts have been carrying out campaigns

(sometimes the same governments, in what
feels like an attempt to sow division) and
offer takes on culture and politics for
years. The report says this was sometimes
done by sharing links to news sites backed by

The researchers found that psychologically
“inoculating” internet users against lies and

showing them videos about the tactics behind
misinformation — made people more skeptical
of falsehoods afterward, according to an
academic paper published in the journal
Science Advances on Wednesday. But effective
educational tools still may not be enough to
reach people with hardened political beliefs,
the researchers found.
Since Russia spread disinformation on
Facebook during the 2016 election, major
technology companies have struggled to
balance concerns about censorship with
fighting online lies and conspiracy theories.
Despite an array of attempts by the companies
to address the problem, it is still largely
up to users to differentiate between fact and
fiction.
# ⚓ New York Times ☛ Spiders_Are_Caught_in_a_Global_Web

It turns out that these fears and
misunderstandings of our eight-legged friends
are reflected in the news. Recently, more
than 60 researchers from around the world,
including Dr. Scott, collected 5,348 news
stories about spider bites, published online
from 2010 through 2020 from 81 countries in
40 languages. They read through each story,
noting whether any had factual errors or
emotionally fraught language. The percentage
of articles they rated sensationalistic: 43
percent. The percentage of articles that had
factual errors: 47 percent.
These findings, published on Monday in the
journal Current Biology, revealed a vast and
interconnected web of misinformation. Errors,
which tended to cluster in sensationalized
stories, would shoot around the world in
days, from India to China to Poland to
Argentina to the United States. This would
often start on a regional level, where a
story would be amplified by national and
international news outlets. According to
misinformation scientists, this is a defining
characteristic of modern misinformation: the
magnification of small errors that support a
certain narrative. It is there in both spider
news and political news.

As for the dons who have nixed books from their

reflect on Rushdie’s conception of literature as a
means to “explore the highest and lowest places in

students be spared any graphic account he might
subsequently write of the low place in the human
spirit to which his refusal to be silenced has
reduced him?
Surely not. Depriving our students of access to the

protecting them only, ultimately, does them harm.

Rushdie is not only seen as a symbol of freedom,
however, but also as the living avatar of la loi de

it is illegal in France to incite racial hatred,

While literary writers in the U.S. increasingly

Such was the case with Rushdie. The India-born
writer became the target of a Fatwa by Iran’s
Ayatollah Khomeini in the late 1980s, over his
depiction of the Prophet Muhammed in his book The
Satanic Verses, and was forced into hiding.
# ⚓ Salman_Rushdie_Was_Once_on_the_Left._What_Happened?⠀⇛
As openDemocracy co-founder Anthony Barnett
recently argued, 1989 was a year of epochal change
for the left, facing as it was a new world defined
by globalising capitalism and the end of Soviet
communism. The so-called Rushdie affair contributed
to this recalibration: age-old commitments to civil
liberties and secularism were restated, with calls
for the repeal of blasphemy laws, the separation of
church and state and an end to state aid for
religious schools. New groups formed by Black and
Asian writers, scholars and activists emerged to
express solidarity with Rushdie; the voices of
feminist women of colour, organised around Southall
Black Sisters and Women Against Fundamentalism,
were amplified, bringing greater attention to the
unique oppressions of fundamentalist religion and
uniting feminists across ethnic and religious
lines.
Alongside the left’s support for Rushdie’s freedom
of speech and its refusal of extremist religion was
an equally firm condemnation of racism and
Islamophobia, in particular the weaponisation of
the Rushdie affair for reactionary ends. While
Women Against Fundamentalism fiercely opposed the
oppression of women by reactionary fundamentalism,
they equally challenged the racist opportunism of
the National Front, who briefly sought to hijack
pro-Rushdie counter-protests; Voices for Rushdie
sought to challenge the tendency to treat the
Muslim communities of Britain as monolithic,
disloyal and prone to extremism.

Closing your laptop at 5 p.m. Doing only your

China’s recently reported record-breaking 20% youth

The headline-grabbing news last week that China’s
unemployment rate for those aged 16-24 hit a never-
before-seen high for the country, at 19.9% —
meaning one in five youth cannot find work — was an
unwelcome addition to the country’s array of

# ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ The_Scourge_of_Fascist_Politics_and_the
Rise_of_White_Nationalism_from_Orbán_to_DeSantis⠀⇛
Orbán has declared war on liberal democracy and in
doing so appeals not only to anti-communists,
right-wing Christians, nativists, and homophobes,
he also provides a model of Christian nationalism
for those conservatives in the United States such
as Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson, and Ron DeSantis
who want to hollow out liberal democracy from the
inside.[5] Orbán has not only emerged as a global
spokesperson for Nazi ideology, he has also imposed
his authoritarian rule not through the force of
overt oppression, but through the destruction of
civil society. Orbán’s notion of “illiberal
democracy” is a laboratory for an updated form of
fascism that trades in corruption, corporate
cronyism, repression, religious fundamentalism, the
control of the media, hatred of refugees, a war on
women, transgender people, and an attack on
critical education and advocates of climate change.
[6] The historian Heather Cox Richardson lucidly
captures the anti-democratic elements at work in
Orbán’s notion of “illegal democracy.” She writes:

pulled him into the back of one of their vehicles.
Someone had swapped his car’s license plate with
another—a common tactic used to evade law
enforcement. An automatic license plate reader had

# ⚓ [Old] Keeping_Honest_People_Honest⠀⇛
The first problem with “keeping honest people
honest” is that it’s an oxymoron. The very
definition of an honest person is that they can be
trusted even when nobody is checking up on them.
Nothing needs to be done to keep honest people
honest, just as nothing needs to be done to keep
tall people tall.
The second problem is more substantial. To the
extent that “keeping honest people honest” involves
any analytical thinking, it reflects a choice to
build a weak but conspicuous security mechanism, so
that people know when they are acting outside the
system designer’s desires. (Mr. Attaway essentially
made this argument at today’s hearing.) The
strategy, in other words, is to put a “keep out”
sign on a door, rather than locking it. This
strategy indeed works, if people are honest.
o § Monopolies⠀➾
# ⚓ New York Times ☛ F.T.C._agrees_to_remove_Mark_Zuckerberg_as

The lawsuit — which is part of a new strategy by
Lina Khan, the F.T.C. chair, to be more forward-
looking in antitrust enforcement — is considered a
long shot by many legal experts because it involves
an acquisition in a nascent market with many start-
ups. In the past, most antitrust court cases
involved more mature markets and focused on how a
merger can lead to higher prices for consumers.
# ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Whatever_Happened_to_the_Public_Option_and

Still, a promise is a promise, so it doubtless
shocked public option advocates to learn that for
Biden this promise was more on the order of
something he might dream of doing maybe as an
afterthought if he gets reincarnated as the
parliamentarian in a millennium or two. Because
supporters naturally would have figured that
something so popular had a chance; but it’s popular
for precisely the reason Biden finds it radioactive
and that powerful lobbyists killed it – a public
option would save people money. It might even –
horrors! – make health care affordable. The only
question is, why did Biden mention it in the first
place, when he knew darn well he would never
deliver?
# ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Xbox_Chief:_Exclusives_Aren’t_the_Future,_Pay_No
Attention_To_All_These_Exclusives⠀⇛
Xbox’s management team’s inability to put out a
clear public message regarding exclusive titles is
becoming a real thing. When the season of
acquisitions kicked off last year and Microsoft
bought up Zenimax/Bethesda studios, the muddled
messaging began. First were conflicting statements
over the exclusivity of those studios’ titles, then
came Microsoft saying those titles would be “first/
better” on Xbox, before finally landing on at least
one title from Bethesda going as an Xbox exclusive.
The confused messaging continued after Microsoft
announced it was looking to acquire Activision
Blizzard, with some vague messaging about how that
studio’s games would be handled.
# § Copyrights⠀➾
# ⚓ [Old] CoryDoctorow ☛ Why_none_of_my_books_are
available_on_Audible⠀⇛
But this is also technological nonsense. The
program that checks to see whether other
programs are approved by the manufacturer is
also running on an untrusted adversary’s
computer (with DRM, you are the
manufacturer’s untrusted adversary). Because
that overseer program is running on a
computer you own, you can replace it, alter
it, or subvert it, allowing you to run
programs that the manufacturer doesn’t like.
That would include (for example) a modified
DRM program that unscrambles the
manufacturer-supplied video, audio or text
file and then, rather than throwing away the
unscrambled copy when you’re done with it,
saves it so you can open it with a program
that doesn’t restrict you from sharing it.

Back at its Architecture Day 2021 event, when Intel
shared the core design details of its Alder Lake
CPU architecture, the firm stated that Windows 11
was optimized in a way to best take advantage of
the Alder Lake’s Performance Hybrid architecture
and the new Thread Director technology that helps
Windows 11 task scheduling.
Following this announcement, head to head testing
back in November 2021, indeed showed Windows 11
outperforming Linux quite easily thanks to the
special optimizations baked into Microsoft’s new
OS. In fact, it was beating out Windows 10 too,
even when using an older Lakefield CPU.
[...]
With this Linux can potentially leave Windows 11 in
the dust depending on the kind of improvements the
new optimization sees.
o § Applications⠀➾
# ⚓ Cockpit_Project:_Cockpit_275⠀⇛
Cockpit has always had the theoretical ability to
run arbitrary programs to gain administrative
access, by adding them to a package manifest.
However, the UI would always use “sudo”. Now, if
multiple programs are defined, the UI will prompt
for which one to use.
By default, Cockpit will still only use “sudo”, so
unless you actually add more programs via a
manifest, there will be no visible change in the
UI.

Firmware is stored on the read only memory (ROM) of
a device. It gives instructions to the hardware
about how it should be operated. Firmware can’t be
modified or deleted by the end-user just like other
software. You need some specialized software to do
so. In this article, we are going to learn, how to
update firmware in your Linux machine.

Server⠀⇛
Steps and commands to install and configure
Memcached on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy JellyFish to
cache data for PHP or Python-based applications.
Memcached is a BSD-licensed published cache server
used by many organizations and website owners to
quickly retrieve data from memory. It has been used
by many users to improve the overall speed and
performance of their dynamic websites with database
connectivity to improve performance by avoiding
disk access by storing important data in memory or
by minimizing the call of complex and frequently
used database queries – especially SELECT
statements.
Data is provided with a unique key value and stored
as strings in memory whereas the connection takes
place to the Memcached server via the PROTOCOLS TCP
and IP. The stored data can be either permanent or
temporary. Well, in the case of temporary storage,
the deletion of cached data will happen
automatically after the configured interval of
time.
# ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Apache_Tomcat_on_Linux_Mint_21_–

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install
Apache Tomcat on Linux Mint 21. For those of you
who didn’t know, Apache Tomcat is an open-source
Java servlet container. Tomcat is developed and
maintained by a free group of developers under the
Apache Software Foundation’s auspices and is
licensed under the Apache License 2.0.
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 an Apache Tomcat on Linux Mint 21
(Vanessa).
# ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Grafana_on_Fedora_36_–_idroot⠀⇛

monitoring solution for every database. It provides
charts, graphs, and alerts for the web when
connected to supported data sources. You can either
install the open source version or the enterprise
version. Both options would be free at the point of
installing the service, but if you feel like you
would like the Enterprise service that Grafana
offers, you would only upgrade seamlessly with the
enterprise version.

Server⠀⇛
Manage your CLI server by installing Admin Panel
Ajenti on your Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal Fossa server
using the command terminal.
Ajenti is an open source Server management that
offers an easy-to-use Web-based graphical user
interface to command line servers so that they can
be managed easily, locally or remotely.
Well, you can’t compare it to the popular WHM
Cpanel, instead, with the Cockpit Server Admin
platform but with extra features to manage servers.
That makes it easier for administrators to gain an
overview and enable other users to manage docker
containers, start services or run scripts, for
example.
The current version of Ajenti is a V2 lightweight
Admin panel, however, there is also one more
edition Ajenmti 1.x Panel which is not currently in
development. Because the developers are focusing on
Ajenti V2 which offers plugin-based architecture to
expand the capabilities of the Panel. It is
developed with Python3 & AngularJS and in the
future will have plugins to manage other Server
services such as apache2, Nginx, postfix, etc.
# ⚓ TechRepublic ☛ How_to_create_a_Project_in_OpenProject⠀⇛
OpenProject is an open-source project management
platform that makes it pretty easy to manage
projects from the security of your own data center
or your third-party cloud host. OpenProject can

# ⚓ MakeTech Easier ☛ How_to_Use_Pushbuttons_With_Raspberry_Pi
GPIO_Pins_–_Make_Tech_Easier⠀⇛
If you’ve ever used an LED with a Raspberry Pi,
then you probably know how GPIO outputs work. Code
makes electricity flow through General Purpose
Input / Output (GPIO) pins, passes through the
LEDs, and lights things up. But have you ever tried
doing the reverse? With pushbuttons, you can do the
exact opposite. This tutorial shows you how to turn
a GPIO pin into an input pin, listening to every
button press you make!
# ⚓ Linux Shell Tips ☛ How_to_Password_Protect_Directory_in
Nginx_Web_Server⠀⇛
While Nginx pre-configurations cater to essential
security needs for our web applications, some
security precautions need to be user-defined.
For instance, a website’s web directory may contain
files and other subdirectories that we wish to
protect from unauthorized user access. A solution
to the problem is basic authentication
implementation on the Nginx web app configuration
file.
This article will walk us through viable steps of
password-protecting a web app directory hosted by
an Nginx web server.

Alma_Linux_9⠀⇛
In this guide, we are going to install Puppet 7
Server Open Source in Rocky Linux/Centos 8 Server.
We will set up a Puppet server and an agent and
install nginx using puppet manifests.
Puppet is a software configuration management tool
which includes its own declarative language to
describe system configuration. It is a model-driven
solution that requires limited programming
knowledge to use. Puppet operates in an agent-
master architecture, in which a master node
controls configuration information for a fleet of
managed agent nodes.
# ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_OpenRGB_on_Linux_Mint_21_–
idroot⠀⇛
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install
OpenRGB on Linux Mint 21. For those of you who
didn’t know, Open source RGB lighting control that
doesn’t depend on manufacturer software. OpenRGB is
available for Windows, Linux, and macOS. The
software offers many features, including support
for RGB amber lighting, game integrations, music
visualization, and more. Additionally, the software
comes with a plugin interface that allows you to
extend its functionality even further.
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 OpenRGB on Linux Mint 21 (Vanessa).

Lately, I’ve been looking at how Groovy streamlines
the slight clunkiness of Java. In this article, I
begin a short series to demonstrate Groovy
scripting by creating a tool to analyze my music
directory.
In this article, I demonstrate how the groovy.File
class extends and streamlines java.File and
simplifies its use. This provides a framework for
looking at the contents of a music folder to ensure
that expected content (for example, a cover.jpg
file) is in place. I use the JAudiotagger library
to analyze the tags of any music files.

In today’s world, users have mixed feelings
about telemetry. But first, for those not in
the know, let’s define telemetry in its use
as software.
Telemetry typically comprises software
running in the background, gathering data
about your computer and how you interact with
it, and forwarding it to third parties – for
example, hardware vendors or operating system
makers.
# ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Pano_is_a_‘Next-Gen_Clipboard_Manager’
for_GNOME_Shell_–_OMG!_Ubuntu!⠀⇛
‘Pano’ bills itself as a “next-gen clipboard
manager for GNOME Shell” and if first
impressions are anything to go by, it
certainly fulfils that claim!
Most clipboard managers (that I’ve used, at
least) tend to be text-heavy lists. You copy
items, they get added to a list, and you
spend ages trying to work out which truncated
string is which. Pano is way more graphical
in its presentation of your copy/paste
history making it potentially more useful.
[...]
Clipboard managers are only as useful as
their contents, and not every you copy you’ll
want to keep within easy reach. You can
remove an item your clipboard history by
clicking on the ‘x’ in the corner, and search
through all saved contents using the search
bar.

# ⚓ Mesa,_Git,_Gear,_More_Update_in_Tumbleweed_–_openSUSE
News⠀⇛
The rolling release continues fastforwarding daily
with new versions of software.
The most recent snapshot is 20220824 and it updated
the Linux Bluetooth protocol bluez 5.65; the
package fixed a few Advanced Audio Distribution
Profile issues and added experimental support for
ISO sockets. The 4.16.2 version of hypervisor xen
dropped several patches contained in the new
tarball including a CLFLUSH work around for AMD
x86. The new xen update fixes a few Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures. There were a few
updates related to Vulkan like an update of shaderc
2022.2, which added support for 16b-bit-types in
High-Level Shader Language. There were also updates
to vulkan-loader and vulkan-tools 1.3.224.0. The
OpenGL and OpenGL for Embedded Systems shader
glslang 11.11.0 added OpSource support and avoids a
double-free in functions clone for vulkan in
relaxed mode.
Mesa and its drivers package updated to version
22.1.7 in snapshot 20220823. The 3d graphics
library’s new version had fixes and cleanups all
over the tree; most of the fixes were for the Zink
driver that emits Vulkan Application Programming
Interface calls. Several YaST packages updated in
the snapshot. There were some adjustments made with
yast2-storage-ng 4.5.8 to adapt to new types of
mounts by libstorage-ng, and yast2-network 4.5.5
added a class to generate the configuration needed
for Fibre Channel over Ethernet. Other packages to
update in the snapshot were transactional-update
4.0.1, autoyast2 4.5.3 and many other libraries.
[...]
Among the packages to update were KDE Gear 22.08.0,
which allows you to sort files also by file
extension with Dolphin.

is Jellyfin
This tutorial will show you how to install Jellyfin
on Raspberry PI computer boards using Docker. For
this tutorial, I’m going to use a Raspberry PI 3
Model A+, but it should work with any newest
Raspberry PI computer board.
Moreover, I’m going also to show a way to easily
upload media files remotely to your Jellyfin media

The news is overwhelming. Attention spans are

that are optimized for endless scrolling, and
we get an internet where misinformation
thrives.
In many ways, consuming news has become a
social act. We get to share what we’re
reading and thinking through social media.
Other people respond with their own thoughts
and opinions. Algorithms pick up on all of
this activity, and soon enough, our feeds
feed us what to consume next – one after
another. While it could be actual news and
accurate information, often, it’s an
opinionated take, inaccuracy or even
propaganda.

to find their “stoke” – whether that’s by
going on a mountain bike ride, rollerblading,
or just feeling the sun on your skin.
“It can be finding a little park right behind
your house and singing and dancing in it,”
Holland said. “You don’t have to hike

# ⚓ <Weeks_9>_Storing_OCR_result_|_My_Journey_at_google_summer
of_Code_2022⠀⇛
This week, I implemented two ways to store the
output text.
The first way is that output text will be recorded
and saved as a text file. I implement the method
saveTextFile(const QString& filePath, const
QString& text) of Ocr Tesseract Engine; this
function uses QTextStream’s streaming operators, so
we can conveniently write and update text into the
file. The text file is located with the same path
as the Url image.
The second way is to save the text in XMP. I
implement the method saveXMP(const QString&
filePath, const QString& text) to do this task. XMP
uses a structured container to host similar
metadata. An alternative language string is an
entry in the XMP tree (based on XML) which will be
an additional property for a title or caption tag.
A new language version of a label is appended to
XML. There is no limit in size and char encoding.
XMP is hosted in the image to a dedicated chunk
outside the image data/properties.

o § Security⠀➾
# ⚓ Living_off_the_land,_AD_CS_style_|_Pen_Test_Partners⠀⇛
Unless you have been living under a rock for the
last year or so, Active Directory Certificate
Services (AD CS) abuse continues to be a hot topic
in offensive security, ever since the excellent
research released by Will Schroeder (@harmj0y) and
Lee Christensen (@tifkin_). I, like many, have
enjoyed the fruits of Will and Lee’s research since
its release last year.
Up until now exploitation of these AD CS
misconfigurations typically requires tools like
Certify directly over C2, or Oliver Lyak’s
excellent certipy tool over SOCKS into the target
environment.
Recently, my genius and handsome colleague Nick
(guess who tech QA’d this post?) and I got into a
conversation around living off the land techniques
for AD CS abuse. The environment he was targeting
at the time was brutal from a red teamer
perspective, with a high functioning SOC and
excellent detection capability. In situations such
as this, living of the land is a much more
effective way of remaining undetected and blending
in with legitimate traffic.
[...]
There are several ways to enrol for certificates
using traditional Windows features and tools. The
certutil command line tool and the web enrolment
endpoint that is sometimes exposed, to name a few.
But we wanted to avoid the command line if possible
and not rely on the web enrolment endpoint as often
this is not available.

In this new blog series, I would like to introduce
you to the daily adventures of an Arch Linux
package maintainer.
This time, we will have a look at reproducible
package builds. Reproducible package builds are
very important for us, as package maintainers,
because reproducible package builds create an
independently-verifiable path from source to the
final package. This means, every Arch Linux user
can verify that noone tampered with the Arch Linux
package build process. Technically spoken, this
means that we can build the same package on
different systems and get an exact identical
package (identical as in: they share the same
SHA256 checksum).

read some parts of the Report, and revealed
that the Report states that malware was found
in 5 out of 29 phones, but that the Report
couldn’t say if the malware was Pegasus.
However, despite this shocking revelation,
the Report will be kept in the sealed
envelope, in the custody of the Supreme
Court’s General Secretary, even when the CJI
stated during the court proceedings, that
parts of the Report will be public.

# ⚓ [Old]_VS_Code_–_What’s_the_deal_with_the_telemetry?⠀⇛
Microsoft state that they follow the General
Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and that
these practices apply to all geographies, not
just Europe.
However, you cannot access the data
collected.
[...]
And there is a ‘sign-in’ experience in VS
Code. You can sync your settings by signing
into a Microsoft account or GitHub account.
You may not use it, but you can be obviously
identified that way. Is that data linked?
[...]
Under the right of access article, you can
make a formal request called a data subject
request (DSR) to a data controller (whoever
holds your data) to take an action on that
data. A data controller must provide an
overview of the categories of data that are
being processed (Article 15(1)(b)) as well as
a copy of the actual data (Article 15(3));
furthermore, the data controller has to
inform the data subject on details about the
processing, such as the purposes of the
processing (Article 15(1)(a)), with whom the
data is shared (Article 15(1)(c)), and how it
acquired the data (Article 15(1)(g)).
Microsoft have added GDPR annotations to
telemetry events to describe their purpose. I
guess that covers Article 15(1)(a) mentioned
above. It is an enumerated variable, which
can contain values: “FeatureInsight”,
“PerformanceAndHealth”, “BusinessInsight”,
and “SecurityAndAuditing”. It is kind of
vague. What does a “BusinessInsight” event
mean?
My own take is that I do not feel like I am
adequately protected. I am not totally
anonymous. I cannot access data collected.
Microsoft extensions collect data implicitly,
and may not offer settings to control what is
sent out. The fact that all Microsoft product
licenses say that users cannot opt out of all
data collection makes me doubt the sincerity
of the effort.
[...]
However, VSCodium can’t shut out all the data
collection as it is the same codebase. And
since extensions act independently with
regard to data collection, you still need to
be mindful of what extensions you install.
You would need to search around for other
options if you want to find a more privacy-
oriented, open-source code editor.

However, I could never figure out how to set

countless hours troubleshooting my setups,

running though, and when I saw that I could
host a gemini capsule on it I was ecstatic!
Then, another roadblock. There are two apps
available on yunohost for gemini, gemserv and
my_capsule. I was familiar with gemserv so I
installed it and tried to set it up. It was
an absolute disaster. Could not figure it out
and I thought it was just game over.
