Summary: The presence of Sirius_‘Open_Source’ in Twitter speaks volumes. The
company’s main account (informal) has not tweeted anything since August 8th,
2022 (this has_nothing_to_do_with_Elon_Musk). The official account has tweeted
nothing since July 14th, 2022. But worry not, this actually means the company
is run by a bot, as almost_all_the_staff_has_left, paving the way to
insolvency.

Tough Year for EPO, Shallow PR
Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0
http://techrights.org/videos/epo-xmas-spiel.webm
Summary: The EPO, which sponsors_Lukashenko, is only a short hop away from
seeking to expand by enlisting countries which are irrelevant to the EPO; then
again, the EPO already breaks many laws and even incites politicians to break
both laws and constitutions
THE EPO‘s site (epo.org) has some rather comical things in it today. The video
above responds to the latest pair, namely an expensive new video that almost
nobody watches (and commenters already heckle) and some fluff about Moldova,
which hardly has any European Patents.
Next year we’ll have a lot more time to write about the EPO and the Unitary
Patent charade. █

Summary: Moldova is now threatened from both directions; António_Campinos,
desperate_to_pretend that EPO is “growing” (by adding a 40th country without
European Patents and of no relevance to the Office), wants to extend his patent
‘empire’; António Campinos is also paying money to Belarus, which is attacking
Moldova’s neighbour, Ukraine, at Putin’s behest/behalf

Growing debt, no money left in the bank.

Summary: When the founder of Sirius_‘Open_Source’ divorced his wife a new
company was formed, almost cashless; there was a lot of debt, but workers could
not ask about it
TRUTH be told, the state of Sirius has not been good for years, but treatment
of staff worsened a lot after management had changed. Then, there was a
tendency to blame staff for failures, even if and when the failures were
attributed to actions at the very top. Below we present part 2 of the relevant
section of the report. As shown above, as the years went by the company was
running out of money and out of time (way too much debt). These figures are all
in the public domain. The lesson of the story is, desperate companies may
resort to bullying, and the bullying would then be directed at anyone but the
management.
=> =============================================================================
The company had not shared with us financial information or contract details
(amounts of money) in about half a decade. Financial statements are publicly
available, however, in the public domain.
Apparently there was something in the wiki when the CEO’s ex-wife was around,
but it’s all gone now. Is the company heavily indebted to a bank? According to
the latest statement, the company is very, very deep in debt. Notice witness in
the financial documents of the bank: the office manager. Even at that point the
company understated the severity of the situation as debt grew every year
despite a significant cut in the number of salaried staff. Some names/
signatures are rubbed off, but maybe those aren’t relevant. The CEO’s ex-wife
is not listed in some of the recent documents. One is left guessing aimlessly.
Transparency would be much appreciated.
The office manager refused to tell Roy why the CEO had relocated or was based
in the US and was repeatedly evasive when Roy asked. Workers were not told why
the company changed registration (like a new company minted; new contracts
needed to be signed), so some speculated that post-divorce ownership may have
been a motivation. Those were dark times for the company with many questions
hanging and an absent CEO, at one point showing up in a rib shirt for a company
meeting online. This felt rather inappropriate.
Those observations may not be pleasant to see or hear. But those are very
important and they hopefully help explain a certain change in attitude. For
instance, the company’s use of Slack probably violates privacy law associated
with some of our clients, never mind our own. We are aware of several
colleagues who may have left due to management being rude and unpleasant.
The harshest bit was, after key colleagues had left the bullying from
management intensified, taking out frustration on the wrong people. For
instance, Roy and Rianne were sent to be interrogated. The HR agency that
interrogated Roy and Rianne (this lasted for nearly 3 hours!) totally sided
with Roy and Rianne and asked important questions about the management; the HR
people urged Roy and Rianne to keep record of everything and assumed this thing
was likely politically-motivated (or similar). In other words, this backfired
spectacularly on the accuser and moreover cost the company a lot of money,
never mind the moral damage. No clarify or apology was consequently issued to
Roy and Rianne. The accusers were not punished this this misuse of company
budget and one remains on the payroll to this day. What are decent people
supposed to expect from a company that treats veteran (long-time staff) like
that? By that time, Roy had been in the company about 5 times longer than the
principal accuser. Roy was encouraged by HR to keep documentation for self-
defensive purposes, as per this document. █

Bullies as Managers
Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0
http://techrights.org/videos/sirius-bullying-staff-for-fun.webm
Summary: Sirius turned from bad to worse; as debt increased and further loans
were being taken actually essential workers were leaving and earlier this
winter the company registered as its accountants’ address (envelopes are sent
from an unregistered address, probably someone’s apartment near London or
Bristol)
THE sad story of Sirius_‘Open_Source’ has been told here for a fortnight
already. It started two Saturdays ago. In the video above I sum up the latest
two parts in the series. We’ve covered about a third of the material so far.
“It seems like a miracle that the company even survived until the end of 2022,
albeit with very heavy debt and a dodgy corporate structure.”The short story
is, the unqualified “managers” at the company (following tragedy and ordeals in
the personal life of the founder) decided to assign classic “bullshit jobs”
(tasks which serve no actual purposes), falsely accuse people, steer the
company away from “Open Source” (which they neither understand nor use) and it
didn’t take long for the most important technical staff to leave. As a result,
the company’s infrastructure could barely be maintained anymore, hence
outsourcing was seen as imperative. The sad thing is, innocent people were
being accused of things they had not done, and tasks previously done by people
who left (could not stand the new “managers”) could not be completed. It seems
like a miracle that the company even survived until the end of 2022, albeit
with very heavy debt and a dodgy corporate structure. Its current_registered
address_is_actually_the_accountants’_address (outsourced, obviously!). █

This is not the company’s address. The accountancy firm is based in this
address.

o ⚓ Slashdot ☛ PineTab_2_Is_Another_Try_At_a_Linux-Based_Tablet,
Without_the_2020_Supply_Crunch_–_Slashdot⠀⇛
Pine64, makers of ARM-based, tinker-friendly gadgets, is
making the PineTab 2, a sequel to its Linux-powered
tablet that mostly got swallowed up by the pandemic and
its dire global manufacturing shortages. The PineTab 2,
as described in Pine64′s “December Update,” is based
around the RK3566, made by RockChip. Pine64 based its
Quartz64 single-board system on the system-on-a-chip
(SoC), and has all but gushed about it across several
blog posts. It’s “a dream-of-a-SoC,” writes Community
Director Lukasz Erecinski, a “modern mid-range quad-core
Cortex-A55 processor that integrates a Mali-G52 MP2 GPU.
And it should be ideal for space-constrained devices: it
runs cool, has a variety of I/O options, solid price-to-
performance ratio, and “is genuinely future-proof.”
o ⚓ Linux Links ☛ Linux_Around_The_World:_USA_–_New_Mexico_–
LinuxLinks⠀⇛
We cover events and user groups that are running in the
US state of New Mexico. This article forms part of our
Linux Around The World series.
o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾
# ⚓ YouTube ☛ I_Don’t_Rap_Often,_But_When_I_Do,_I_Rap_About
Linux!⠀⇛
In one of my early videos ( https://
www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9uh2epShUY ), I showed off
my rapping skills. It was a huge hit.
# ⚓ Video ☛ History_Of_DXVK:_Vulkan_Makes_Linux_Gaming
Competent_–_Invidious⠀⇛
DXVK is one of the most important pieces to the
Linux gaming puzzle but have you ever been curious
about it’s early history and how we got here.
# ⚓ Video ☛ TROUBLE_for_Google_Maps,_Adblockers_aren’t_dead,

# ⚓ Video ☛ Uber_Technologies_Inc_|_HACKED!..Again_–
Invidious⠀⇛
In this video, we cover an article on how Uber, the
drive share company’s internal network, was hacked
again. I thought this was an interesting article,
so I thought I would share it.
o § Graphics Stack⠀➾
# ⚓ WCCF Tech ☛ Direct3D_12_On_Vulkan_For_Valve’s_Steam_Play
Platform_Brings_Several_Improvements_On_Linux⠀⇛
VKD3D-Proton 2.8, known as Vulkan Direct3D for
Proton version 2.8, was released today & assisted
Linux Steam Deck users. The new implementation adds
Direct3D 12 on Vulkan for Proton on Linux, which
means that Valve’s Steam Play, coded in Proton,
will allow users to play Windows games on the Linux
ecosystem.
o § Applications⠀➾
# ⚓ Dedoimedo ☛ SimpleScreenRecorder_–_Does_as_the_title_says⠀⇛
Let’s start with a spoiler. Recording one’s desktop
in Linux is a fairly easy task. There are tons of
tools that can do the job. Over the years, I’ve
tested perhaps half a dozen of them, and even wrote
a bunch of articles, both tutorials and reviews,
right here on Dedoimedo. But I last did that in
anger around 2010-ish. An infinity ago in Internet
terms.
Indeed, it has been quite a while since I last had
an actual need to record my Linux desktop session
screen. But the need did arise, and I wondered
whether to go back to my oldies and hopefully still
goldies or start from scratch. I opted for the
latter, as it makes for a better blog post
material. So let’s have a look at a lovely little
program called SimpleScreenRecorder, which will be
our hero savior of the day.
# ⚓ GNU ☛ LilyPond_2.24.0_released⠀⇛
We are proud to announce the release of GNU
LilyPond 2.24.0. LilyPond is a music engraving
program devoted to producing the highest-quality
sheet music possible. It brings the aesthetics of
traditionally engraved music to computer printouts.
This version includes improvements and fixes since
the branching of the previous stable release in
October 2020. A list of added features and other
user-visible changes can be found at https://
lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/changes/ This
release switches to Guile 2.2 and features a
completely rewritten infrastructure for creating
the official packages, finally allowing us to offer
64-bit binaries for macOS and Windows.
# ⚓ SpamAssassin_4.0.0⠀⇛
Apache SpamAssassin 4.0.0 has been released! This
is a major upgrade to SpamAssassin with full
Unicode support and many other new features.
o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾
# ⚓ How_to_Install_ADB_and_Fastboot_on_Linux_–_Technastic⠀⇛
Android, being an open-source OS, is very
customizable. You can customize it by adjusting
device settings to your preference, using themes
and apps, and so on. While some customizations can
be achieved only after rooting your device, there
are many others that can be done using ADB
commands. ADB works like a bridge between Android
devices and computers. However, before you can
control your phone or tablet using ADB commands,
you must set up ADB on your Windows, macOS, or
Linux computer. In this guide, we’ll check out how
we can install ADB and Fastboot on Linux.
ADB and Fastboot are multi-purpose command-line
tools. By using ADB and Fastboot commands on your
computer, you can get detailed information about
your Android device, uninstall system apps without
root, install apps, push or pull files, backup
data, debug your device, enable and disable
features and customize it in many ways. If you are
interested in exploring the geeky aspect of owning
an Android device, let’s start with installing ADB
and Fastboot on Linux first.
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ How_to_Set_the_Default_Gateway_on_Ubuntu⠀⇛
All the devices on your network rely on the default
gateway for communication. Data packets pass
through the router to and from your network before
being routed to the particular device that owns the
packet.
Each operating system comes with a default gateway.
However, you can temporarily or permanently change
the default gateway to add another route for your
network devices. You can use the IP command on
Ubuntu to modify your default gateway.
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ How_to_Use_SSH_Using_Private_Key_in_Linux⠀⇛
SSH is a secure way of connecting to a remote
server. With SSH, the client machine must get
verified before it connects to the server, and that
is done using a password and an authentication key,
which can be public or private.
The authentication keys ensure that you safely
connect to your server using the OpenSSH for Linux.
This guide details how to use a private SSH key for
authentication. We will discuss everything from
generating the SSH key to using it when connecting
to the server.
# ⚓ dwaves.de ☛ -_Gigabyte_Aorus_B550_+_2x_NVMe_Kingston
SA2000M81000G_+_RAID0_(AMD_RAIDXpert2)_worth_it?_does_it_work
with_GNU_Linux?_|_dwaves.de⠀⇛
the idea was to have a dual-boot system.
if that is not possible, than it would be a GNU
Linux host running a Windows 10 KVM guest VM,
passing GPU through for gaming (but then 2x GPUs
are required, one for “viewing the screen” and one
for pass-through to Windows (UNTESTED with the
5600G Vega7 OnBoard GPU))
there are ACTUALLY drivers for AMD Raid for Ubuntu
(PDF and a github (UNTESTED!))
So if it works with Ubuntu, it SHOULD also work
with Debian.
The question is: Why use it?
As it might be the better idea to use the well
tested GNU Linux MDADM.
per default Debian 11 setup does not recognize the
AMD Raid: (it just sees two separate NVMe)
# ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Liquorix_Kernel_on_Ubuntu
22.10/22.04/20.04_–_LinuxCapable⠀⇛
The Liquorix Kernel is an attractive option for
anyone looking to benefit from more up-to-date
kernels for their Ubuntu system and performance
gains, especially for desktop users. The following
tutorial will teach you how to import the Liquorix
Kernel PPA and install the latest Linux Kernel on
your Ubuntu 22.10 Kinetic Kudu, 22.04 Jammy
Jellyfish or 20.04 Focal Fossa system with the
command line terminal, along with how to restore
the original Ubuntu kernel if you need to revert to
it.
# ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_GIT_on_Linux_Mint_21.x_or
20.x⠀⇛
Linux Mint comes with the ability to install GIT
directly from its default repositories. While this
is preferred, there are multiple methods to install
GIT for users seeking a newer version with bug
fixes or performance improvements. The following
tutorial will teach you how to install GIT in
various ways on Linux Mint 21.x based on Ubuntu
22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish or Linux Mint 20.x based
on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal Fossa using CLI commands.
# ⚓ AddictiveTips ☛ Play_podcasts_on_your_Chromebook_with
Gpodder⠀⇛
There aren’t any native podcast apps for Chrome OS.
However, if you need one to enjoy your favorite
podcasts, don’t worry! Thanks to Linux support on
Chrome OS, you can install a Linux podcast app to
play your favorite podcasts.
* § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾
o ⚓ Systemd Free ☛ Joborun_vs_Obarun_linux_|_systemd-free_linux
community⠀⇛
obarun stands for OpenboxRunit … but has been the home
for arch based s6 implementation with tools (currently
66) to make s6 less hostile to MOST users of linux. Runit
only lasted a few weeks before s6 was implemented and
runit dumped. Currently featuring a graphic installer of
base, openbox, jwm, xfce4, and plasma desktops and a
setup of s6/66 to get you going.
joborun stands for JwmOpenBoxObarunRunit, so it is
everything Obarun can be, plus runit that can coexist and
alternatively boot instead of s6/66, but also replaces
most core Arch pkgs with ones built in vaccuum of
systemd/logind/udevd. Currently not including an
installer, or an iso image, but an old fashioned tarball
of the base and instructions on how to make it a bootable
system within minutes. Joborun is basically a source
based distro, although it provides 2 tarballs, base
system, and builder system, and binary repositories of
all packages it provides source for. You always need a
binary system to build your binaries, joborun just makes
the process easier and quicker, without frustrating
fails.
o § New Releases⠀➾

o § Fedora and Red Hat⠀➾
# ⚓ Major Hayden ☛ docker-compose_on_Fedora_CoreOS_–_Major
Hayden⠀⇛
Deploying applications in containers provides lots
of flexibility and compatibility benefits.
Once you package your application and its
dependencies in a container, that container runs
almost anywhere without issues. Very few of the old
“it worked on my machine!” problems remain.
However, the challenge of running a container and
linking it up with other helpful pieces of software
still remains.
Web applications need something to serve HTTP
requests and handle TLS. They also need databases,
and those databases must be online and available
first. All of these need reliable storage that is
easily managed.
In my personal infrastructure, I keep coming back
to docker-compose.
# ⚓ Help Net Security ☛ Red_Hat_Insights_enhancements_reduce
risks_in_hybrid_cloud_operating_environments_–_Help_Net
Security⠀⇛
Red Hat announced several enhancements to Red Hat
Insights, its predictive analytics offering. This
includes integrations for ServiceNow and Slack, as
well as expanded monitoring capabilities to
identify known threats in Red Hat OpenShift and Red
Hat Enterprise Linux.
According to an IDC survey, “ease of deployment
(33.5%), speed (31.9%), and vulnerability
prioritization (30.4%) were the top three
capabilities sought in DevSecOps tools. Taken
together, this data suggests DevSecOps vendors must
offer solutions that are a seamless part of the
developer workflow and provide accurate and
actionable results, while also communicating to
CSO’s and upper management how the solution reduces
the overall risk for the organization and fits as
part of their comprehensive security strategy.”
# ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ The_partner_opportunity:_How_Red_Hat
technologies_unlock_deeper_business_value_for_partners⠀⇛
Behind every great solution is an ecosystem of
collaborative partners. At least, that’s the case
at Red Hat. Founded on the spirit of upstream open
source innovation, every milestone in Red Hat’s
history is connected to open collaboration and
driven by a skilled, vibrant ecosystem of software
providers, solution providers, systems integrators
and more.
As we build upon Red Hat’s open source portfolio,
partners remain core to our vision and we continue
to see the results with our customers. Therefore we
are proud that CRN named Red Hat OpenShift Platform
Plus and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2 as
winners for the 2022 CRN Tech Innovator Awards,
with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 honored as a
finalist.
# ⚓ Verizon_expands_VRAN_leadership_position_with_addition_of
first_Ericsson_VRAN_cell_site_|_About_Verizon⠀⇛
Red Hat provided Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat
Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes to
manage their fleet at scale in collaboration with
Red Hat Consulting. As part of the solution, Red
Hat Advanced Cluster Management delivers cloud-
scale manageability by configuring the 5G RAN using
a Distributed Unit (DU) profile, which deploys
real-time OS kernel optimizations to run vRAN and
other cloud-native application workloads from a
single console. Red Hat OpenShift also incorporates
zero-touch provisioning to enable distributed
deployment at scale required to operate a large
scale RAN.
# ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_Expands_Visibility_Across_Hybrid
Cloud_Workflows_with_New_Red_Hat_Insights_Capabilities⠀⇛
Red Hat, Inc., the world’s leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced several
enhancements to Red Hat Insights, its predictive
analytics offering. This includes integrations for
ServiceNow and Slack, as well as expanded
monitoring capabilities to identify known threats
in Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
# ⚓ Changelog ☛ Red_Hat’s_approach_to_SRE⠀⇛
# ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Code_Comments_–_Season_1,_Episode_4:
Cockroach_Labs_and_Resilience⠀⇛
Ever been so frustrated with the options available
that you build your own? Ben Darnell, Chief
Architect and Co-Founder of Cockroach Labs, shares
how his dissatisfaction with distributed databases
led to the creation of CockroachDB. To build a
distributed database that not only plans for but
expects failures, they needed to implement the raft
consensus algorithm. Getting it up and running was
a tough technical challenge. But the result was an
incredibly resilient database.
o § Debian Family⠀➾
# ⚓ Debian ☛ Updated_Debian_11:_11.6_released⠀⇛
The Debian project is pleased to announce the sixth
update of its stable distribution Debian 11
(codename bullseye). This point release mainly adds
corrections for security issues, along with a few
adjustments for serious problems. Security
advisories have already been published separately
and are referenced where available.
Please note that the point release does not
constitute a new version of Debian 11 but only
updates some of the packages included. There is no
need to throw away old bullseye media. After
installation, packages can be upgraded to the
current versions using an up-to-date Debian mirror.
# ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ Debian_GNU/Linux_11.6_“Bullseye”_Released_with
78_Security_Updates_and_69_Bug_Fixes⠀⇛
Coming more than three months after Debian GNU/
Linux 11.5, the Debian GNU/Linux 11.6 release is
here as a fresh, up-to-date installation medium for
those who want to deploy the latest and greatest
Debian GNU/Linux 11 “Bullseye” operating system
series on new computers.
This means that it includes all the security and
software updates that have been released from
September 10th when Debian GNU/Linux 11.5 was
released until today, through the main Debian GNU/
Linux 11 “Bullseye” software repositories.
# ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Debian_Wraps_up_the_Year_with_Bullseye_11.6
Release⠀⇛
Debian 11.6 is now available, and while a minor
release, it’s a mandatory step toward OS’s
stability. So if you’re on Debian 11, it’s time to
upgrade.
Debian is one of the oldest GNU/Linux distributions
in active development. However, it follows a
flexible release schedule. In other words, a new
version is ready when it’s ready.
Today, the Debian Project has announced the general
availability of Debian 11.6. It’s the sixth update
in the Debian 11 “Bullseye” series. For the
statistics, it contains 78 security and 69 bug
fixes updates.

# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Array_of_Vectors_in_C++⠀⇛
C++ is a programming language that has strict
syntax to be followed; we cannot skip even a
semicolon while coding. Arrays are an important
part of coding. Without arrays, programming would
be very difficult. Arrays work as a container that
contains the data of the same type in one place.
Arrays have a fixed size; the size of an array
cannot be changed automatically. Manually updating
the size of an array is difficult, and this is now
a problem. The solution to this problem is vectors
which are known as dynamic arrays. That means that
the size of arrays is flexible and we can insert
more elements in an array after the initialization
without worrying about the size. The arrays of
vectors are like two-dimensional arrays that
contain different columns and rows. We cannot
change the number of rows but each row is a vector
whose length can be changed. Each vector is a
dynamic array of one dimension. Every index of the
array is a vector whose elements are accessed using
the iterators like for, foreach, etc.
The arrays of vectors make the data storage of
similar types easy and flexible. These are mostly
used when we don’t know the size of the array and
when we are dealing with a two-dimensional array.
Vectors are defined in STL which is the standard
template library in the C++ programming language.
Before using vectors, we have to import this
library by including this piece of code in our
program before the “namespace std”.
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ C++_string::npos⠀⇛
C++ is a language that is used to reinforce the
basic programming concepts and improve the
programmers’ logical thinking. In C++, we deal with
arrays and strings since they are crucial to any
programming language. In arrays, we store the same
kind of data and a string is like an array of
characters that is capable to store more than one
character in it. To find the length of the array,
we should know its size that we define at the time
of initialization of the array. In the case of
strings, we sometimes need to check the whole
string to find a character or word. To find the
string size, the len() function is used. But if we
want to check the string or find a value, how can
we find a character or word in a string? For that
purpose, we use the “string::npos” method which is
a constant static value. The “static” word reserves
the memory for the variable and “constant” tells
the compiler that this value cannot be changed
until the program execution.
The “string::npos” is a static constant that has
the highest value of -1 with a “size_t” element
that tells the compiler on the size of a string and
tells how the compiler checks the character until
the “size_t” is met. When the required element
matches the value of a string, the compiler
automatically changes from -1 to 0 by incrementing
1. “Npos” means no position, it shows the position,
and is initially set to -1. When an element is
found, it is incremented.
# § Perl / Raku⠀➾
# ⚓ Rakulang ☛ Day_18:_Something_else_–_Raku_Advent
Calendar⠀⇛
Santa was absent-mindedly going through the
Rakudo commits of the past weeks, after
hearing about the new 2022.12 release of the
Rakudo compiler. And noticed that there were
no commits after that release anymore. Had
all the elves been too busy doing other stuff
in the Holiday Season, he wondered. But, in
other years, the Raku core elves had always
been very busy in December. He recalled
December 2015 with a bit of a smile on his
face: my, my, had the elves been busy then!
A little worried, he asked Lizzybel to come
in again. “So, why is nobody working on
Rakudo anymore”, he asked. “Ah, that!”,
Lizzybel said. “Not to worry, we changed the
default branch of Rakudo to ‘main’”, she
said. “Why would you do that?”, Santa asked,
showing a bit of grumpiness. “Was the old
default branch not good enough?”. Lizzybel
feared a bit of a long discussion (again),
and said: “It’s the new default on Github, so
us Raku core elves thought it would be a good
idea to follow that, as many tools now assume
‘main’ as the default branch”.
“Hmmrph”, said Santa, while he switched to
the ‘main’ branch’. “Wow!, more than 780
commits since the 2022.12 release, how is
that possible?”, he exclamed. “Don’t the
elves have nothing better to do in this time
of the year?” he said, while raising his
voice a bit. Lizzybel noticed his cheeks
turning a little redder than usual.
“Ah that!”, said Lizzybel again.
# ⚓ Perl ☛ PerlayStation_Games_Console_(Part_1)_|_Saif_
[blogs.perl.org]⠀⇛
A few reddit posts ago I saw an interesting
article about maze generation and game
written in Perl. Game development, I fully
believe, is key to intellectual engagement,
provides amusement to developers and non
developers, and highlights the capabilities
of a programming language. This led to an
brief exploration of other Perl arcade/action
games; Such games such as construdo and
deliantra show how complex games can be
created. Frozen Bubble is another addictive
Perl classic. As a non-developer, I find
these games only demonstrate the chasm
between my lack of coding agility and the
cleverness of others.
# § Python⠀➾

Many well-known mathematical procedures have
built-in functions in Python’s SciPy
scientific computing package. The
scipy.integrate sub-package includes an
integrator for ordinary differential
equations as one of the integration
techniques. This article will teach you how
to utilize the “SciPy Integrate” to solve
integration problems using the integration
approach. We’ll talk about some related
topics as well. These are SciPy integrate,
trapezoid SciPy integrate quad, and SciPy
integrate simpson. To help you comprehend and
use the concepts on your own, we will go
through these ideas in detail and with useful
programming examples. So, let’s start.

This week, Asus released a rugged Mini-PC powered
by i7/i5/i3 and Celeron Alder Lake processors from
Intel. The PL64 comes in a metal chassis and it can
handle triple 4K displays, dual LAN ports, two M.2
PCIe 4.0 SSDs, integrated Wi-Fi 6E/BT support, etc.
[...]
The PL64 offers two M.2 2280 Gen4x4 slots
supporting 256GB/512GB/1TB SSD. Additionally, the
device offers two SO-DIMM slots for DDR4-3200 MHz
memory.
The device offers two LAN parts, although one of
them is 2.5GbE (Intel I225V) and the other is 1GbE
(Intel I219V). This Mini-PC can support up to three
4K displays at the same time via HDMI 20 ports with
EDID emulation and virtual display.

I’m going to preface this by saying I have a
dog in this race. You see, as you probably
understand, I’m a writer. I not only write
about technology, but I’m also a writer of
fiction. I’ve been writing for thirty years
now and have published over fifty novels. I’m
also an actor and a screenwriter. Needless to
say, creativity is encoded into my DNA. I
live to create. The creating of my art fills
my soul. It’s as simple as that.
And I work tirelessly at it. According to
Grammarly, I wrote over 6 million words in
2021 and am on track to beat that record this

improve my craft. The same thing holds true
with my acting… always doing everything in my

# § Internet/Gemini⠀➾
# ⚓ A_closer_look_at_geminispace.info_backlinks⠀⇛
Continuation of testing why comitium feed
agregator have failed to handle
geminispace.info backlinks (as I mentioned in
[previous post at Sat 29 May 2021 08:36:05 PM
CEST]).
The first part of answer is obvious because
geminispace.info backlink page template
consists in [root/serve/templates/fragments/
footer.gmi] two variables. One of it is
printed, and it is changing every time
geminispace.info index is updated.
The second part of answer is still unclear
for me. Because I have added two backlinks
pages to my comitium installation. The first
for szczezuja.flounder.online domain, and the
second for szczezuja.space domain. And there
must be some difference because, beside index
update date, the pages are in different
“days” on comitium feeds page.
# ⚓ Elisp_for_my_book-related_org_files⠀⇛

# ⚓ Server_moved⠀⇛
Around the time that the Raspberry Pi 4 was
released I took what was for me a pretty
major plunge and got rid of all of my x86
desktop computers in favor of using the
little Arm sbc’s as home servers, while
keeping a couple of x86 laptops for
development and other day to day use.
Currently there are three of them in a stack
on my TV stand next to the router. The one
running this capsule also run Apache and
Gitea. Up until this week it had been running
quite happily on OpenSuse Tumbleweed. I’m a
fan of rolling release distros, even though
the upkeep can be a little bit more work. I
have been using mostly Arch for the past ten
years, but Suse had proven to be stable for
me for quite a long run. That run came to an
end when the board failed to boot after an
update.
# ⚓ Many_capsules_don’t_send_TLS_close_notify⠀⇛
It turns out that this has to with the
release of OpenSSL 3. OpenSSL no longer
tolerates TLS connections that don’t shut
down with a close_notify message, as per the
TLS specification. So now things will break
(as they should!) until people fix their
servers.
# ⚓ Fediverse_and_its_Discontents⠀⇛
I had rebooted my moribund mastodon account
out of curiosity. People otherwise unfamiliar
with it were asking me about it. I’d ignored
the quicktime evisceration of what passes for
a digital commons in our era by Musk – save
to hope it kept his attention to earth
instead of mucking up LEO with junksats. But
curiosity always gets the better of me
despite being quite run through at least 6
lives on my heartmeter by now.
After a few years of abstinence from any sort
of social media (beyond posting here), it is
meet to record my impressions of mainstream
social media. And fediverse must now be
called mainstream if the flood of “refugees”
from Birdsite is to have any import. But more
than numbers, the sheer manic pace of the 128
character agora overwhelms me.
# ⚓ A_year_of_mastodon⠀⇛
I never was into social media. Never had a
twitter account, never had a
facebook account, never had an instagram
account etc,… I did have a
reddit account for a while, but I ditched
that when things started to get
way too corporate-y. It got really bad with
them looking to go public…
I don’t remember what the last straw was,
probably ads or something but it
came to feel really wrong to exist in that
space.

# ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ OpenLiteSpeed_vs_Nginx⠀⇛
One of the first – and most crucial – decisions
that a website owner will need to make is what type
of web server to use. The decision to host your
website on a Linux system is a no brainer, but when
it comes to web servers, there are a few choices
and they all come with their own pros and cons.
Among the most popular on Linux is NGINX and
OpenLiteSpeed, both well known for their speed and
ability to host concurrent connections.
In this tutorial, we will compare NGINX and
OpenLiteSpeed web servers across a few key areas.
The right choice will largely come down to a site’s
needs and the administrator’s preference. Our
comparison of these two web servers will help you
decide on which software is the better choice for
hosting your website.

The time has come again to reflect for many. We are
almost at the end of 2022 and as in recent years, I
want to look back and look forward to different
aspects of my life. A lot has happened for me, both
personally and professionally, both good and not-
so-good, and I think that probably applies to
everyone to some degree. On RealLinuxUser.com we
talk about everything Linux related together, so
here I would like to look back and look forward to
Linux-related topics. As I did for the previous
years, I want to look back at my Linux experiences
and share with you my favorite applications you and
I can use in the new year. As a Linux blogger I
look at and try out a lot of different software
solutions and I always do my best to write useful
and valuable articles that hopefully help you in
your decision-making on software selection or just
help to explain how applications work, how problems
can be solved, or how software can improve your
life. Out of all the applications, I tried, a
substantial list of applications have my real
preference over other applications and I therefore
regularly use them for my personal work,
productivity, creativity, and whatever I further do
with my Linux-based setup. So in this article, I
will share my 40 most favorite applications for
Linux for you to use in 2023.

In the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s, there
was a popular file manager for DOS called Norton
Commander. It was beloved by many computer users of
the day, but it fell out of favor as graphical file
managers became the default. Fortunately for fans
of the original commander, and those who missed out
on the original, an open source file manager with a
similar design was released, called Midnight
Commander or, more commonly, just mc.
# ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ Best_Ubuntu_backup_software⠀⇛
Although Ubuntu Linux is known for being a very
stable operating system, it can’t protect your
files against a failing hard drive or other
components that can corrupt your files. Therefore
it is always a good idea to regularly create
backups. There are many types of backup software,
and many possible backup strategies which can be
implemented on Ubuntu using free and open source
software, so how do you pick the best one?
In this tutorial, we have compiled a list of our
favorite backup tools for Ubuntu Linux. These days,
backup programs are easy to use and will give you
the peace of mind you need when it comes to the
longevity of your data. Check out our picks below
to find one that suits you best. Give them a try.
You might be surprised.
o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾
# ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ How_to_partition_USB_drive_in_Linux⠀⇛
In order to access a USB drive on Linux, it needs
to have one or more partitions on it. Since USB
drives are usually relatively small, and only used
for temporary storage or to easily transfer files,
the vast majority of users will choose to configure
just one partition that spans the entire USB disk.
However, you can also logically separate the USB
drive into different sections if you wanted to use
multiple partitions.
In this tutorial, we will cover the step by step
instructions to partition a USB drive on a Linux
system. You will also learn how to create new
partitions, delete partitions, and to shrink or
expand existing partitions on the USB drive. You
will see the steps for both command line and GUI
methods, so you can follow along with set of
instructions you are most comfortable with. Let’s
get started.
# ⚓ LinuxTechi ☛ How_to_Install_FreeFileSync_on_Ubuntu_22.04⠀⇛
In this tutorial, we will cover how to install
FreeFileSync on Ubuntu 22.04 step-by-step. It is an
open-source file synchronization & backup tool.
# ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Change_Hostname_on_Rocky_Linux_9_–
idroot⠀⇛
In this tutorial, we will show you how to change
the hostname on Rocky Linux 9. For those of you who
didn’t know, In the Linux operating system, the
hostname is a name that is assigned to a device
(such as a computer or server) that is connected to
a network. The hostname is used to identify the
device on the network and is usually a combination
of letters and numbers. In this case, we can assign
a unique hostname to each machine to remember them
easily. Hostname also allows each machine to
communicate using the device name rather than the
IP address.
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 change
of hostname on Rocky Linux. 9.
# ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Linux_Kernel_6.1_on
AlmaLinux_EL9_or_EL8⠀⇛
On December 11, 2022, Linux Kernel 6.1 was released
with a significant new addition – initial Rust
language support in mainline Kernel. This release
has been highly anticipated by users who seek to
increase security and memory-safe code. While
performance enhancements are typically in a Linux
Kernel release, this may be especially desired for
users with new hardware that is unsupported or has
issues in their current Linux distribution Linux
kernel.
Specific Linux distribution, such as AlmaLinux, is
known for providing long-term stability. However,
the latest Kernel requires installation from a
third-party source such as ELRepo unless you are
comfortable compiling it yourself. For most users,
dealing with the frequent release of minor updates
that can occur almost weekly using a well-known
repository that supports the latest Linux Kernels,
such as ELRepo, comes in handy and is recommended.
As discussed in the introduction, the best option
is to use the ELRepo repository, which has an
excellent reputation amongst EL9 and EL8
distributions such as CentOS, Oracle, Rocky Linux,
etc. The following tutorial will show you how to
import the ELRepo for AlmaLinux 9 or AlmaLinux 8
desktop or server using cli commands for the users
that require to update their Kernel for better
hardware support.
# ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ How_to_install_Ubuntu_on_USB_Stick⠀⇛
Installing Ubuntu Linux onto a USB stick will allow
you to have a portable operating sysem that you can
plug into any computer. This differs from a live
environment USB, as installing Ubuntu directly to a
USB stick will create a persistent operating
system, the same way it does when you install to a
typical hard disk. However, the process of
installing Ubuntu to USB is not the same as a usual
hard drive.
There are some differences in the installation
process and important caveats to keep in mind if
you plan to install Ubuntu to a USB stick. We will
go over those in the sections below. In this
tutorial, we will cover the step by step
instructions to install Ubuntu Linux to a USB flash
drive.
# ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Vivaldi_Browser_on_Ubuntu
22.10/22.04/20.04⠀⇛
Vivaldi is a powerful and innovative browser
attracting considerable attention among Ubuntu
desktop users as a strong contender to replace the
default installed Firefox browser. It came about
after the developers of Opera decided to switch
from their successful Presto engine to the
Chromium-based browser; many traditional Opera fans
were understandably upset at this transition, which
resulted in an upsurge in interest in Vivaldi as an
alternative option. Even though it is relatively
new, its popularity has proved highly significant,
with many computer users now considering it an
important competitor against Chrome, Firefox, and
Edge. A range of unique tools and features make
Vivaldi an excellent choice for those seeking a
reliable Internet browsing experience.
In the following tutorial, you will learn how to
install Vivaldi on Ubuntu 22.10 Kinetic Kudu, 22.04
Jammy Jellyfish, and 20.04 Focal Fossa using the
command line terminal and also the option of
Vivaldi stable or Vivaldi snapshot browser
versions.
# ⚓ It’s FOSS ☛ Yes!_You_Can_Install_Unity_Desktop_on_Arch
Linux._Here’s_How!_–_It’s_FOSS⠀⇛
Several years after Ubuntu abandoned the Unity
desktop environment, a few volunteers put effort to
release a new version 7.6. Heck! Their Ubuntu Unity
project is now an official Ubuntu flavor.
If you liked the Unity desktop and want to try it
again, you don’t necessarily have to use Ubuntu
Unity. Arch Linux users have a way to install it.
# ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_ModSecurity_3_with_Nginx_on
Fedora_37/36⠀⇛
ModSecurity, often referred to as Modsec, is a
free, open-source web application firewall (WAF).
ModSecurity was created as a module for the Apache
HTTP Server. However, since its early days, the WAF
has grown and now covers an array of HyperText
Transfer Protocol request and response filtering
capabilities for various platforms such as
Microsoft IIS, Nginx, and Apache.
How the WAF works, the ModSecurity engine is
deployed in front of the web application, allowing
the engine to scan the incoming and outgoing HTTP
connections. ModSecurity is most commonly used in
conjunction with the OWASP Core Rule Set (CRS), an
open-source set of rules written in ModSecurity’s
SecRules language, and is highly regarded in the
security industry.
# ⚓ H2S Media ☛ How_to_install_Docker_on_AlmaLinux_9_Linux?_–
Linux_Shout⠀⇛
We have covered the installation steps for setting
up Docker packages on Almalinux 9 using the command
terminal in this tutorial.
Almalinux 9 is the latest server Linux distro based
on RedHat code. We can easily configure Docker on
Almalinux 9 to run container service. Container
service is slightly different than our regular
VirtualBox or Vmware Desktop Virtualization.
In Docker, the OS images are lightweight, hence
easy to install and consume fewer resources.
Further, they run virtual containers at native
speed. Many cloud services offer Alamlinux, hence
let’s know how to use it for working with Docker
Containers.
# ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ OpenLiteSpeed_as_reverse_proxy⠀⇛
In this tutorial, you will learn how to configure
OpenLiteSpeed as a reverse proxy server. A system
that sits between a client and a web server (or
servers) can be configured as a reverse proxy. The
proxy service acts as a frontend and works by
handling all incoming client requests and
distributing them to the backend web, database,
and/or other server(s). The advantages of a reverse
proxy become most apparent under high traffic
conditions or situations where multiple backend
servers are deployed and need some form of load
balancing.
Follow along with us below as we take you through
the step by step instructions to configure
OpenLiteSpeed as a reverse proxy server on a Linux
system. OpenLiteSpeed can act as our central point
for incoming connections and provide us with load
balancing, central logging, improved security, and
better performance. We will set up OpenLiteSpeed as
a reverse proxy for our Apache backend in the steps
below.
# ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ OpenLiteSpeed_htaccess_setup⠀⇛
One of the most alluring features of OpenLiteSpeed
is that it is highly compatible with Apache, so web
admins migrating from Apache web server to
OpenLiteSpeed will not have to spend much time
converting their configuration. When using the
Apache web server, .htaccess files (also called
“distributed configuration files”) are used to
specify configuration on a per-directory basis, or

# ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ Ubuntu_server_tutorial_for_beginners⠀⇛
Most people probably know of Ubuntu as a desktop
operating system. But Ubuntu’s massive popularity
and strong footing in the Linux community have
allowed Canonical to produce a very viable server
edition and still maintain their desktop release.
Ubuntu Server is a great choice if you are looking
for an operating system for your production servers
such as web servers, database servers, file
servers, etc. It is free, stable, scalable, and has
optional support plans.
After downloading Ubuntu Server and installing the
operating system, there is some initial setup and
configuration that administrators should do. In
this tutorial, we will guide you through some of
the most common tasks that beginners should know
about, so you can get your Ubuntu Server up and
running smoothly.
# ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ How_to_make_a_bootable_USB_from_an_ISO_in
Linux⠀⇛
The purpose of this tutorial is to make a bootable
USB drive from an ISO file. USB drives have
recently overtaken CDs and DVDs as the primary
media of physically distributed software. It is now
a common task for system administrators and normal
users to install operating systems and software via
USB.
When you download a Linux distro, chances are that
it will come as an ISO file and you will need to
burn it to USB in order to install Linux on a
computer. This allows you to boot directly into the
Linux installer. Similarly, we can also put other
software on the USB drive, assuming that the
installer is distributed as an ISO file.
In this tutorial, you will see the step by step
instructions to create a bootable USB from an ISO
file on a Linux system. We will cover the steps for
both command line and GUI on major Linux distros.
# ⚓ A_Tale_of_“More”_and_“Less”_Commands_in_Linux⠀⇛
Linux users often use “more” and “less” commands
interchangeably to read large files without
understanding their differences, as their
definitions are also identical in the manual.
So, what’s their difference, and when should you
use them? All of this doubt will be cleared in this
article, including how to effectively use them with
practical examples.
But first, let’s start with their definition:
The more command is used to read large files by
displaying one page at a time and scrolling up and
down through pages; you can even pipe it with other
commands like cat.

specify the apache2 instead of plain apache.
And I have encountered many errors like this and
that’s why I came up with this guide so you don’t

Every person in the tech industry or those that
have spent some time tinkering with computers has
heard of GNU/Linux. When it comes to FreeBSD, far
less people are aware of its existence and not a
lot of users (or even system administrators)
understand the difference between the two operating
systems. The most likely scenario of how you wound
up here is that you have used Linux for a while,
and are now wondering if FreeBSD is better or if it
is a good idea to switch.
In this article, we will shed some light on FreeBSD
vs GNU/Linux, as we compare the operating systems
across a few key areas to help you understand the
differences between them. You will find that the
two systems have a lot in common, but also
substantial differences once you get past the
superficial similarities. Join us below as we go
into the details of these two operating systems,
ultimately helping you choose which one would be
better for your needs.

We have the pleasure of celebrating the
birthdays of Jane Austen and Arthur C. Clarke
by announcing the release of OCaml version
5.0.0.
The highlight of this new major version of
OCaml is the long-awaited runtime support for
shared memory parallelism and effect
handlers.
This multicore support is the culmination of
more than 8 years of effort, and required a
full rewrite of the OCaml runtime
environment. Consequently, OCaml 5.0.0 is
expected to be a more experimental version of
OCaml than the usual OCaml releases.
In this release, the native compiler only
supports the x86-64 and arm64 architectures.
In terms of operating systems, Linux, the
BSDs, macOS and mingw64 on Windows are
supported.
We are planning to restore the support for
most previously supported architectures and
operating systems, and address remaining
known issues over the course of the next
year.
Don’t let those words of caution hinder your
experimentation with OCaml 5:
OCaml 5 as a language is fully compatible
with OCaml 4 down to the performance
characteristics of your programs. In other
words, any code that works with OCaml 4
should work the same with OCaml 5.

I get that people have to go to work, but we all

According to the CDC, I outlasted 97% of Americans
as far as when COVID hit me the first time. I have
no doubt that some day I’ll likely get it again,
but I’d rather minimize it.
There are people out there getting it 3-4 times per
year, and not even treating it with pills, and by
that point it’s just absolutely devastated their
body, and you can tell by talking to them that
they’re not right anymore. Not good.
I keep rubber gloves in my car for the gas pump,
hand sanitizer, we still wear face masks if we do
go somewhere even if those around us don’t, and I
don’t do any of my grocery shopping in the store
anymore.
But it’s a given that my spouse has to work in
person and the customers and coworkers are idiots
who don’t understand that they are playing with
fire. If I get it again, that’ll be why.
Now that I know how it’s likely to play out, I do
plan to always have some COVID tests on hand so if
I feel weird at all I can test and get to the
medicine quickly, and I’m going to have a bottle of
Valtrex ready to go so that if HSV or VZV outbreak
follows, I can start on it as soon as the first

and take steps to set California as a data
sanctuary state for anyone seeking
reproductive or gender-affirming care.
Authored by Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-
Kahan, Assemblymember Mia Bonta, and
California State Senator Scott Wiener, these
bills will protect people by forbidding
health care providers and many businesses in
California from complying with out-of-state
warrants seeking information about
reproductive or gender-affirming care.
Health privacy has always been important to
EFF. While we are not focused on reproductive
justice or gender-affirming care advocacy, we
joined those advocacy communities in support
of these bills because no one should fear
receiving a medical procedure because of
privacy risks. In the wake of the Dobbs
decision, the increasing criminalization of
health care makes protecting health privacy
newly important.
In addition to these three bills, EFF
supported A.B. 2089, authored by Asm. Bauer-
Kahan, which was signed into law by Gov.
Newsom. This bill extends the protections of
the California Confidentiality of Medical
Information Act (CMIA) to information
generated by mental health apps—previously a

the ‘termination’ of the Constitution—have left him
increasingly isolated within his party as he tries

Effort_to_End_U.S._Support_for_Saudi_War_in_Yemen⠀⇛
A new UNICEF report finds that over 11,000 children
have been killed or injured in the U.S.-backed,
Saudi-led war in Yemen since 2015. A six-month
ceasefire between warring parties expired in
October. Meanwhile, Senator Bernie Sanders withdrew
a Senate resolution Tuesday that would have ended
U.S. support for the war, following pressure from
the White House. Sanders said he would bring the
resolution back if they could not reach an
agreement. Shireen Al-Adeimi, a Yemeni American
assistant professor at Michigan State University
and a nonresident fellow at the Quincy Institute,
says many Democrats who decried U.S. support for
the Saudi coalition when it was seen as “Trump’s
war” have now fallen silent despite the ongoing
humanitarian catastrophe. “The situation on the
ground is so volatile that this War Powers
Resolution is absolutely essential,” says Al-
Adeimi.

# ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ ‘Red_Line’_Crossed:_EU_Official_Threatens
Sanctions_After_Musk_Suspends_Journalists⠀⇛
A European Union official on Friday denounced Elon
Musk for suspending several journalists from
Twitter and warned the social media site’s
billionaire owner, a self-described champion of
free speech, that his attack on press freedom is
likely to result in sanctions.
Taking to the platform, E.U. Commissioner for
Values and Transparency Věra Jourová wrote: “News
about [the] arbitrary suspension of journalists on
Twitter is worrying. E.U.’s Digital Services Act
requires respect of media freedom and fundamental
rights. This is reinforced under our Media Freedom
Act. Elon Musk should be aware of that. There are
red lines. And sanctions, soon.”

So, yes, I’ve written a few things now on Elon’s
silly excuses for his frantic speedrun through the
content moderation learning curve. It’s getting
more mainstream press because of journalist
accounts getting banned (including, this morning,
Insider’s Linette Lopez, who did not post any
“doxing” info but has reported critically on Musk
for years, which lead to him harassing her).
# ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ ‘An_Attack_on_Free_Expression’:_Musk_Under
Fire_for_Suspending_Journalists_From_Twitter⠀⇛
Twitter CEO Elon Musk, a self-proclaimed free
speech absolutist, suspended a number of
journalists from the social media platform on
Thursday in what the ACLU condemned as “an attack
on free expression” that should be reversed.
Musk justified his decision by claiming those
suspended—including Drew Harwell of The Washington
Post, Micah Lee of The Intercept, Ryan Mac of The
New York Times, and Matt Binder of Mashable—shared
real-time details about his location, an accusation
stemming from the journalists’ reporting on a
Twitter account that tracked the movements of the
billionaire’s private jet.
# ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ ‘An_Attack_on_Free_Expression’:_Musk_Under
Fire_for_Suspending_Journalists_From_Twitter⠀⇛
“Musk suspending journalists’ accounts is petty and
vindictive and absolutely disgraceful—and
especially so because Musk has styled himself,
however absurdly, as a champion of free speech.”

We in progressive politics have a public safety
problem. So do those in conservative politics, to
be clear—a much darker, more insidious problem. But
the progressive problem on public safety is one we
can solve, one we on the left must solve to meet
both the country’s health and safety needs and our
movement’s electoral needs.
# ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Judge_Torches_Federal_Prosecutors_For_Flipping_A
Defendant_And_Using_Him_To_Spy_On_Defense_Team⠀⇛
It’s no surprise the government cheats when it
prosecutes people. Judge Jed Rakoff pointed this
out while resigning from the DOJ’s Forensic Science
Committee when it became clear the DOJ was not
interested in rooting out junk science. He called
the government’s refusal to allow defendants to
examine forensic means and methods “trial by
ambush.”

In their largest labor action to date, Starbucks
workers across the United States launched a three-
day strike on Friday with the goal of forcing the
coffee giant to bargain in good faith with hundreds
of newly organized shops and put an immediate end
to its unlawful union-busting efforts.
Starbucks Workers United said in a statement that
roughly 1,000 baristas from approximately 100
unionized shops nationwide will walk off the job
starting Friday, and a majority of the workers
taking part in the action will remain on strike
through Sunday.

Every so often, Techdirt writes about the
long-standing problem of orphan works, the
huge collection of older creations that are
out of circulation and have no obvious
owners. Arguably, they should be called
“hostage works”, since they remain uselessly
locked away by rigid and outdated copyright
laws, to no one’s benefit. Despite that, the
copyright industry always fights hard against
the outrageous idea that we should make it
easier to bring these works back into
circulation, where people can enjoy and use
them.

Code readability is important and most
professionals take coding conventions to heart,
using pycodestyle you can make your code more
readable to others by making it more standard by
conforming to certain coding conventions.

# ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Zoom_Client_on_Fedora_37_–
idroot⠀⇛
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install
Zoom Client on Fedora 37. For those of you who
didn’t know, Zoom is a communications technology
platform that provides video telephony and real-
time online chat services through a cloud-based
peer-to-peer software platform. The Zoom meetings
application offers a range of features and is easy
to use, making it a popular choice for remote teams
and individuals. On Linux, the Zoom client is
available as a downloadable package that can be
installed on the most popular distributions,
including Fedora, Ubuntu, and CentOS.
This article assumes you have at least basic
knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and
most importantly, you host your site on your own
VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes
you are running in the root account, if not you may
need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root
privileges. I will show you the step-by-step
installation of the Zoom Client on a Fedora 37.

# ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ A_practical_issue_with_YAML:_your
schema_is_not_actually_documentation⠀⇛
These days, YAML is used as the configuration file
format for an increasing amount of systems that I
need to set up and operate for work. I have my
issues with YAML in general (1, 2), but in the
process of writing configuration files for programs
that use YAML, I’ve found an entirely practical
one, which I will summarize this way: a YAML schema
description is not actually documentation for a
system’s configuration file.
# ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ How_I_do_static_IPs_and_names_for
my_NAT’d_libvirt-based_VMs⠀⇛
One of the things that I use Linux libvirt for is a
collection of virtual machines that I only NAT onto
the network, instead of giving them their own
distinct public IPs. When I first set this up, I
didn’t do anything special to give these NAT VMs
consistent IPs or any names at all, which made it a
bit annoying when I wanted to SSH in to one (most
of them are Fedora VMs, so I can actually do that).
Eventually I went through the effort to set up
fixed, static IPs for these and give them names
that I could use, which has turned out to be much
more convenient.
# ⚓ Austin Gil ☛ 4_ways_CSS_:has()_can_make_your_HTML_forms

There’s been a lot of hype lately around the CSS :
has() pseudo-class. And rightly so! It’s basically
the “parent selector” we’ve been asking for for
years. Today I want to focus on ways we can use :
has() to make HTML forms even better.
# ⚓ Björn Wärmedal ☛ Self_Hosted_File_Sharing_Service⠀⇛

This week is a twofer! We have the long-
awaited Wayland fractional scaling support,
and the equally long-awaited ultimate fix for
Plasma’s multi-screen woes! Let’s take them
one at a time…
The Wayland protocol for fractional scaling
was finally merged last week. Kenny Levinson
proposed the protocol itself, and this week,
the KDE and Qt implementations for Plasma

were merged. Thanks a lot, everyone!
* § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾
o ⚓ Simon Josefsson ☛ Guix_1.4_on_NV41PZ⠀⇛
On the shortlist of things to try on my new laptop has
been Guix. I have been using Guix on my rsnapshot-based
backup server since 2018, and experimented using it on a
second laptop but never on my primary daily work machine.
The main difference with Guix for me, compared to Debian
(or Trisquel), is that Guix follows a rolling release
model, even though they prepare stable versioned
installation images once in a while. It seems the trend
for operating system software releases is to either
following a Long-Term-Support approach or adopt a rolling
approach. Historically I have found that the rolling
release approach, such as following Debian testing, has
lead to unreliable systems, since little focus was given
to system integration stability. This probably changed in
the last 10 years or so, and today add-on systems like
Homebrew on macOS gives me access to modern releases of
free software easily. While I am likely to stay with LTS
releases of GNU/Linux on many systems, the experience
with rolling Guix (with unattended-upgrades from a cron
job to pull in new code continously) on my backup servers
has been smooth: no need for re-installation or debugging
of installations for over four years!
o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾
# ⚓ Ricardo García ☛ NVIDIA_and_Wayland_on_Fedora_37⠀⇛
Starting with Fedora 36 it’s been possible to run
Gnome using Wayland on NVIDIA cards. The experience
was not perfect. Some programs, like the mpv media
player, had notable display issues and had to be
forced to launch in X11 mode, using XWayland.
However, the experience has been improving steadily
and with Fedora 37 I haven’t found any major
drawbacks to running Wayland on my NVIDIA system.
Notably, even Firefox works using Wayland, and
WebGL apps or Google Maps run in hardware
acceleration mode.
# ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Automate_like_an_expert_with_Ansible

During AnsibleFest 2022, we announced the launch of
Ansible validated content. This new initiative is
focused on delivering an expert-led approach for
automating your platform portfolio across
infrastructure, networking, cloud, security and
edge use cases.
Ansible validated content is a new set of
collections containing pre-built YAML content (such
as playbooks or roles) to address the most common
automation use cases. You can use Ansible validated
content out-of-the-box or as a learning opportunity
to develop your skills. It’s a trusted starting
point to bootstrap your automation: use it,
customize it and learn from it.
# ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ What’s_new_in_Red_Hat_OpenShift_GitOps
1.7⠀⇛
GitOps as a way of working has dramatically
increased in popularity over the past few years. It
can be quite a different approach to application
and cluster deployments for folks new to storing
configuration as code.
Evolving out of DevOps workflows came GitOps: a set
of principles to guide your deployment processes
based on using Git as a single source of truth.
With a Kubernetes controller monitoring your
clusters, GitOps compares the system you’ve
described in Git to what is actually deployed. A
change to your cluster or to your Git repository
will automatically trigger an action – notifying
you of the change or even self-healing to match
your ‘desired state’.
# ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_Shares_―_Special_edition:_This

2022 marked the third year of the COVID-19

employees back to their offices, Red Hat is
embracing flexibility (in a conference room or
stretchy pants).
# ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Using_system_tags_to_enable_extended

Today we present a new way to use the Red Hat
Insights Advisor service by using system tags to
enable extended security hardening recommendations.
Not all systems are equal. For example, a web
server and a workstation have different security
profiles. For systems with extended security
hardening recommendations enabled, Advisor
identifies additional risks and remediation steps.
# ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Prioritizing_flexible_training_in_2023
and_beyond⠀⇛
In November 2022, Red Hat published their ninth
Global Tech Outlook, a report conducted by Red Hat
that explores the challenges and funding priorities
of thousands of customers for the upcoming year.
Mirroring last year, talent and skills gaps were
highlighted as the top barrier to digital
transformation, emphasizing the importance of both
hiring knowledgeable team members and upskilling
existing employees on key technology. In fact,
skills training is one of the top non-IT funding
priorities for customers heading into 2023.
# ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ 5_key_learnings_from_Red_Hat’s_Open5G
event_this_year⠀⇛
This year, Red Hat hosted dozens of pioneering
service providers, ecosystem partners and
technologists to come together to share real 5G
deployment stories—diving deep into the open
technologies and processes behind them. Through
this event, we’ve continued to learn so much about
5G networks—how to monetize, innovate, close the
skills gap, while digging into the critical role
open source technologies play in making this
happen. From overall strategy to edge computing to
automation and sustainability, we’ve learned about
building resilient networks that will power the
next generation of eco conscious cars, healthcare
applications, robotics, the list goes on and on.
While Open5G hosted over 40 outstanding sessions, I
wanted to share some of the big highlights we can
take away as we plan for 2023.

The LapPi 2.0 is a DIY laptop kit with an acrylic
enclosure, a UPS HAT with a 18650 battery holder,
and off-the-shelf parts including speakers, a
touchscreen display, a Raspberry Pi camera, and a
wireless keyboard that’s suitable for the Raspberry
Pi 4 and pretty much any other small single board
computer from Radxa, Orange Pi, Banana Pi,
FriendlyElec, Hardkernel, and others.
We’ve seen several Raspberry Pi laptops over the
years with the CrowPi L and Pi-Top, and I have to
say the LapPi 2.0 is not the most eye-pleasing or
sophisticated design, but at least, it’s versatile
and not limited to the Raspberry Pi family.

Tonight’s story time: the Power Macintosh that

out the problem, and how I hacked the sound driver
to fix it. (Download link at the end.)
My favourite beige Power Mac is the Power Macintosh
7300 and its relatives. They’re compact, capable,
upgradable and easy to work on. For as much as
people raved about the pull-down side door of the
Yosemite G3 and the Power Mac G4, they owe their

o ⚓ OpenSource.com ☛ How_I_wrote_an_open_source_video_game_for_Open
Jam_in_a_weekend⠀⇛
Every year, Itch.io hosts Open Jam, a game jam where
developers build an open source video game over a
weekend. This year’s Open Jam ran from October 28th to
October 31st.
Open Jam is a friendly competition with no prizes, which
makes it a great opportunity to try new things,
experiment with a new game idea, or learn a new
programming language. While projects don’t necessarily
need to be built with open source tools, the game
submission needs to have an open source license. Entries
in Open Jam get “karma” or bonus points for how open
source the game is, such as how many open source tools
were used to create it or running on an open source
operating system.
Each Open Jam has a specific theme, and this year’s theme
was “Light in the Darkness.” It’s up to each developer to
interpret how to apply that theme to their own game. I
entered the Open Jam with a game called the Toy CPU, a
simulation of a simple computer that you program using
“switches and lights,” similar to an old-style Altair
8800 or IMSAI 8080.
o ⚓ Become A Writer Today ☛ Joplin_Review:_Is_This_Notetaking_App
Worth_It?⠀⇛
Joplin meets these criteria except for additional
features. Joplin isn’t a feature-rich app like Evernote
and Notion. It’s bare bones, so it’s impractical for
anyone looking for something that offers all the bells
and whistles.
For example, with Evernote, you access mobile scanning,
advanced templates, and OCR for images. Joplin has none
of these features. So if you need a more feature-rich
note-taking app, Evernote is a better option.
o ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ What_Is_Varnish_Cache_and_Why_Is_It_Important?⠀⇛
Varnish Cache is an open-source web application
accelerator that helps optimize web pages for faster
loading times. It does this by storing copies of web
pages in memory. When a user requests a webpage, they get
back the cached version instead of having to wait for the
original web server to generate the page from scratch.

# ⚓ Kubernetes Blog ☛ Kubernetes_1.26:_Non-Graceful_Node
Shutdown_Moves_to_Beta⠀⇛
Kubernetes v1.24 introduced an alpha quality
implementation of improvements for handling a non-
graceful node shutdown. In Kubernetes v1.26, this
feature moves to beta. This feature allows stateful
workloads to failover to a different node after the
original node is shut down or in a non-recoverable
state, such as the hardware failure or broken OS.
[...]
In a Kubernetes cluster, it is possible for a node
to shut down. This could happen either in a planned
way or it could happen unexpectedly. You may plan
for a security patch, or a kernel upgrade and need
to reboot the node, or it may shut down due to
preemption of VM instances. A node may also shut
down due to a hardware failure or a software
problem.
To trigger a node shutdown, you could run a
shutdown or poweroff command in a shell, or
physically press a button to power off a machine.
A node shutdown could lead to workload failure if
the node is not drained before the shutdown.
In the following, we will describe what is a
graceful node shutdown and what is a non-graceful

It is a mess. The code from the blog post works on
most systems, but most systems these days use 8-bit
characters; the article is about systems where a
character is defined as 16-bits (allowed by the C
Standard) and where an integer is also 16-bits
(again, allowed by the C Standard and is the
minimum size an integer can be per the C
specification). It’s rare to have non-8-bit
characters on desktop computers these days (or even
tablet and smart phones) but it seems it’s not
quite that rare in the embedded space, where you
have DSPs that have weird architectures and a
charater is most likely the same size as an
integer. And that’s where the trouble starts.
The main issue is with fputc(). The C Standard
states: [...]
# ⚓ Earthly ☛ CMake_vs._Make:_What’s_the_Difference?⠀⇛
Creating software isn’t only about writing code;
you need to build all the source code to get a
usable software artifact. This build process can be
done manually, but it can become difficult as you
start working on larger projects. This is where
tools like CMake and Make can help you automate the
process. Both of these tools allow you to go from
source code to executables.
In this article, you’ll learn how CMake and Make
work and the key differences between them. You’ll
then implement CMake and Make to see their
differences in action.
# ⚓ Fred Herbert ☛ The_Law_of_Stretched_[Cognitive]_Systems⠀⇛
One of the things I knew right when I started at my
current job is that a lot of my work would be for
“nothing.” I’m saying this because I work (as Staff
SRE) for an observability vendor, and engineers
tend to operate under the idea that the work
they’re doing is going to make someone’s life
easier, lower barriers of entry, or just make
things simpler by making them understandable.
While this is a worthy objective that I think we
are helping, I also hold the view that any such
improvements would be used to expand the capacities
of the system such that its burdens remain roughly
the same.

# ⚓ Lawrence Tratt ☛ How_Might_Generative_AI_Change
Programming?⠀⇛
From my perspective, the obvious question is: how
might ML and GAI change programming? In particular,
the rapid advances in GAI have led many to assume
that we will gradually do away with programming as
a human activity. Although it’s rarely spelt out
explicitly, this implies that a GAI system can take
in a human description (or “specification”) and
produce usable software from it. At a small scale,
this is already possible, with the best known
example being CoPilot.

# ⚓ Challenging_the_status_quo_at_work?⠀⇛
Last week I dove into the topic of psychological
safety and how to build a culture where employees
feel comfortable enough to speak up with ideas,
concerns or even to admit mistakes.
Of the 4 stages of psychological safety, the stage
I feel isn’t discussed enough is the challenger
safety stage.
Challenger safety is about feeling comfortable
challenging the status quo or ideas.
Indulge me for a minute! Think about the last time
you challenged someone at work. I mean truly looked
someone dead in the eye and maybe said something
along the lines of, “I don’t agree with your
approach.”
How did that make you feel?
Did you get that sinking feeling in your stomach?
Did you instantly worry about how this would impact
your relationship? Or worse, did you think about
how this would impact your growth at the company?
# ⚓ Python Speed ☛ Faster_hardware_is_a_bad_first_solution_to
slow_software⠀⇛
Your data pipeline is too slow, or uses too much
memory. How should you speed it up?
One obvious solution is purchasing better hardware.
With cloud computing, switching to a computer with
more cores, or adding more RAM, can be done in
minutes or seconds. Given that developer time is
expensive, switching to more powerful hardware is
often seen as a cheap first solution to slow
software.
But there are longer-term costs involved that
aren’t immediately visible. If your first solution
to any performance problem is spending more money
on hardware, you may eventually end up with
software that is unnecessarily slow, hard to speed
up, and extremely expensive.

The use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) techniques,
specifically ML (Machine Learning) and its various
sub-fields, is changing many fields and undoubtedly
will change more in the coming years. Most of us
are at least generally familiar with the idea of
using ML to identify patterns in data. More
recently Generative AI (“GAI” for the rest of this
post), in the form of systems such as ChatGPT and
Stable Diffusion, has made itself more widely
known. Rather than simply classify new data, GAI
can, as the name suggests, generate new outputs
that conform to the underlying patterns contained
in the model [1]. Existing ML systems, in general,
and GAI systems particularly, are almost certainly
the harbingers of further advances. This inevitably
leads to speculation about “what’s next?”

Using Pod::To::HTML2 a new custom FormatCode,
D<> (D for deprecation), can be made to help
with the Raku Documentation process. The new
FormatCode should show a span of
documentation that is deprecated in some way.
This happens a lot when Rakudo is being
upgraded. However, people using older
versions of Rakudo need to understand what
has changed, as well as what has been added.
So it is not a good idea to delete older
information, but it is not efficient to re-
generate the entire Documentation suite for
each new version of Rakudo.
[...]
However, this is about making a bespoke
plugin to implement a new Formatting Code.
Pod::To::HTML2 interprets specified local
sub-directories whose name does not contain
the character _ after the first character of
the name to contain plugin information.
Pod::To::HTML2 is a sub-class of
ProcessedPod, so below I shall mention
instances of ProcessedPod, though possibly I
should be saying instances of Pod::To::HTML2.

with_AWK_creator_Dr._Brian_Kernighan⠀⇛
Hassam: Are there any novel ideas from Awk that
have yet to be adopted by others?
Dr. Kernighan: The main idea in Awk was associative
arrays, which were newish at the time, but which
now show up in most languages either as library
functions (hashmaps in Java or C++) or directly in
the language (dictionaries in Perl and Python).
Associative arrays are a very powerful construct,
and can be used to simulate lots of other data
structures.
I guess the pattern-action paradigm was also not
novel but not widely used at the time. It’s an
effective way to organize some kinds of
computations.

Dr. Wirth: Mostly the “philosophy” of simplicity
and regulalrity of the concepts. I always focused
on the “teachability” of a language. After all, one
should not teach a language, but programming. One
must focus on programming concepts, and not on
language features.
# ⚓ [Old] Programming Language DataBase ☛ A_brief_interview
with_Common_Lisp_creator_Dr._Scott_Fahlman⠀⇛
Hassam: Are there any neat ideas from Lisp that
have yet to go mainstream?
Dr. Fahlman: It took a long time for Lisp’s
automatic storage allocation and garbage collection
to go mainstream. This is more than “neat”, it
eliminates a whole class of bugs that are among the
most subtle and difficult to find and fix. But
people resisted this as being too inefficient until
Java came along and made the idea more mainstream.
The other “neat” idea — still not “mainstream”, as
far as I know — is to represent programs as the
same kind of objects that the system is good at
manipulating: linked lists, in the case of Lisp.
The transformation from text to list-structured
representations is trivial (that’s why Lisp
programs have some many parentheses), and you can
run that code directly in an interpreter, or
compile it on the fly into fast, efficient machine
code.

In his work towards Open Science, Dr. Pampel always

Pampel’s position may have been to at least try and
work with the corporations rather than against

society and science over those of corporations. The
fact that of all the corporations involved in

the single one that like no other stands for

flagrantly and unapologetically oppose everything

the path to becoming President runs through
recycling every old “health freedom” antivaccine
trope I’ve been writing about for 18 years now,
after having used them to dictate Florida’s
pandemic policy for nearly two years. Examples of
how Gov. DeSantis has done this include his embrace
of the “Urgency of Normal,” which advocated
reopening schools with, in essence, no COVID-19
mitigations “for the children”; his appointment of
Dr. Joseph Ladapo, who first made his name
promoting hydroxychloroquine as a cure-all for
COVID-19 with the grifting right wing conspiracy
group known as America’s Frontline Doctors, and
then pivoted to opposing in essence any COVID-19
mitigations that are not completely voluntary or
inconvenience anyone; and the conversion of the
Florida Department of Health into a pandemic-
opposing antivax organization, complete with
dubious studies falsely extrapolating their results
to argue that vaccinating children against COVID-19
is more dangerous than letting them catch COVID-19.

Today, the European Commission issued a new

and (2) that there is access to judicial
redress, as required under Article 47 CFR.
Updated US law (Executive Order 14086) seems
to fail on both requirements, as it does not
change the situation from the previously
applicable PPD-28. There is continuous “bulk

The May 16th raid had potential to be the bloodiest

as Squadron X, had been training for a “special”

drop bouncing bombs that had to be released at
precisely 60 feet and 200 knots. They bounced
because they were set spinning in the bomb bay
beforehand. It was all top secret, and none of the
crew knew what the target was. On the night before
the raid they learned they were to attack three
dams, the Möhne, the Eder and the Sorpe, to flood
the industrial centre of Germany. Bouncing bombs
could breach the defences of the first two dams.
But his crew’s target, the Sorpe, built of earth-
banked concrete and set among hills, defied any
bomb-sight and couldn’t be flown at directly. They
would have to skim very low along the dam and drop
an inert bomb, with 6,600lb of explosives, at the
estimated centre of it. They had not practised
that.

If the most recent decade is a guide to the
future, Diener says, the district can only
expect to receive enough water to grow crops
on about 300,000 acres in an average year.
That’s half the original area of Westlands
Water District, and 40% less than what’s
available to grow crops today.
What’s worse, the water comes in bursts. In
2017, when rain drenched California,
Westlands actually turned away potential
water deliveries because no growers wanted
it. Other years, the district gets no water
at all, except for what it can buy on the
open market at exorbitant prices. Such
drastic fluctuations in water availability
have been especially tough on growers with
almond trees that require water every year
just to stay alive. Growers now are ripping
out some of those parched orchards.
What’s urgently needed, according to Diener
and other growers, is the infrastructure to
store water underground when it’s abundant,
so that it’s available when the rains stop.

It was called the Plan for Transformation, the most
ambitious public housing makeover in U.S. history.
Under the plan, launched in 2000, the Chicago
Housing Authority would demolish most of the city’s
public housing developments, displacing thousands
of families. Then, over the next 10 years, the
agency would replace or repair 25,000 units of
housing while bringing new investment to low-income
communities.

Hepfner_Equates_Linking_to_News_Articles_on_Facebook_to
Theft⠀⇛
The reality is that Hepfner should know that these
are just links which include credit and certainly
cannot be reasonably described as theft. Indeed,
canvassing Hepfner’s own Facebook page reveals that
she has regularly posted links to articles from the
CBC.ca and Hamilton Spectator (here, here, here,
and here).
Does Hepfner believe these are all examples of
theft? If so, is she an accomplice to theft by
posting the links in the first place? The links
each take the reader to the source, generating
potential ad revenue for the CBC or Hamilton
Spectator. Is that a lack of credit? Ultimately,
why does she think that Facebook should compensate
those news outlets for the links that she posted?
Or consider that she posted the same link on both
Facebook and Twitter on the same day. Consistent
with the bill she just voted for, why does she
think that Facebook is stealing the link, but
Twitter is not?

Musk, who has reinstated literal Nazis on the
platform in the name of free speech, has claimed
that the real-time flight trackers available on
other larger platforms pose a risk of violence. He
claimed that a man had followed a car carrying his
young son because he thought it was him earlier
this week, vowing legal action against the owner of
the @elonjet account even though it’s unclear how
the flight tracker would aid someone in identifying
and tracking a car. Musk had the Twitter policy on
the flight trackers, which he had vowed not to ban,
changed so to accommodate his complaints – days
after criticizing previous Twitter management for
restricting access to Hunter Biden laptop data and
banning accounts that had not violated the actual
terms of service.

Teen Vogue spoke with activists and organizers
about Twitter’s uncertain future. They all
requested anonymity in order to speak candidly
about their work and concerns.
In the United States, leftist accounts, including
mine, have been targeted for suspension after
right-wing users organized a mass reporting
campaign under false pretenses. Other left-wing
organizers and media accounts fear they could be

the platform’s change of ownership threatens their

It is not immediately clear why Twitter, now owned

some of the journalists covered and have been in
some cases critical of Musk. Olbermann, shortly
before being suspended, tweeted a link to a
Mastodon social account that tracked Musk’s private
jet (the Elon Musk jet account had been active on
Twitter, until Musk changed the terms of service
earlier this week to ban accounts that share real-

On Thursday, Twitter accounts for at least nine
journalists and one left-leaning political pundit
were suspended. An antifascist and an anarchist
media account were also canceled. The account for
Mastodon, a platform that has emerged as one of
Twitter’s major competitors, was suspended as well,
and links to Mastodon and other autonomous,
decentralized networks were blocked as “unsafe”
links that could no longer be tweeted. Some of the

What is ActivityPub and how does it work? At the
simplest level, it is a method (protocol) for
social media servers to talk to each other even if
they are owned by different entities and dedicated
to different purposes. Imagine that CBS News, BBC,
National Review and Fox News create their own
social media servers using the Mastodon user
interface and ActivityPub as a server-to-server
protocol. All that the owners of these sites must
do to connect to each other is to list the server
addresses of each other on a list of “federated
sites.”

A variety of celebrities and politicians throughout
the country and world have slammed Musk for the
suspensions, which occurred Thursday night. Musk
has said the journalists, who work for outlets like
The New York Times, The Washington Post and CNN,
have posted information about his location.
Those who were suspended were covering Twitter’s
suspension of an account that tracks the location
of Musk’s private jet using publicly available
data. Musk defended suspending the account and
those of journalists, stating on Twitter that
“Criticizing me all day long is totally fine, but
doxxing my real-time location and endangering my
family is not.”

“half the effectiveness” and has “a ridiculous
amount of people and resources, but we constantly
self-sabotage and squander effort.”

# ⚓ How_to_rebuild_social_media_on_top_of_RSS⠀⇛
I’m calling this model “the unbundled web,” and I
think RSS should be the primary method of interop.
(The term “decentralized” has already been co-opted
by all those bitcoin people, so I’m using
“unbundled” as a synonym with less baggage.)
That’s a pretty high-level view of things. Over the
past several months I’ve spent a lot of time trying
to figure out what it looks like if you zoom in to
the next level. If I had the ears of a bunch of
people working on publishing, reading, and
community apps, what features would I ask them to
implement? What features should I implement in
Yakread, my own reading app?

Gjevjon warned the museum’s curator that trans

Just a few days prior to the exhibition’s opening,
Gjevjon was informed by museum management that they

The silencing of prominent voices could raise the
regulatory heat on Twitter, and possibly Mr. Musk’s
other companies, including Tesla and SpaceX, which
is a big recipient of government funding and
projects. It could also hurt his push to get
reluctant advertisers back onto the platform.
The action set off a wave of protests. News
organizations, including The Times and CNN, have
demanded that Mr. Musk explain his rationale.
Supporters of the journalists argued on Twitter
that the move was overly punitive.

At first, I thought The Algorithm was drunk, but
the hardcover sale stopped right when their spend
