Summary: This year’s Sirius ‘Open Source’ (or Sirius Corporation, the fake
former company) isn’t run by geeks but by people who view geeks as a threat;
this dooms the company irreversibly
THE management at Sirius_‘Open_Source’ is almost the majority of staff now
(yes, more administrators than cooks inside the kitchen!) and it has brought an
element to the company that the company cannot leave behind. It is beyond
redemption. The video above deals with the latest part of the report, which
generally explains how a family of three adults (don’t say “threesome”, it’s a
sensitive term) suggested lowering the already-low salary of long-serving
technical workers. The more shocking revelations about Sirius are yet to come
(mostly next month). We assume there are other companies out there that act
similarly, so it is important to identify and meticulously explain the
patterns. █

Guest post by Dr. Andy Farnell
🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Andy Farnell⦈ Summary: Today we commence a 4-part series
about what has happened to British universities (probably not only universities
and not just in Britain either), based on an insider, a visiting professor at
several European Universities
An article I wrote for the Times HE on “Eliminating harmful digital
technologies in education” generated some attention and comments. I’ve been
asked “What can we do?” That is to say, I failed to properly address the
implied call to arms and merely enumerated the technological problems in
education. Smart people want to hear about solutions, not problems.
First I wanted to move the conversation beyond the self-evident and visible,
like invasive CCTV cameras, card access systems (and soon phone tracking,
fingerprint and face scanners) that give our places of learning all the warmth
of a Category-A high-security facility for child sex offenders.
“Smart people want to hear about solutions, not problems.”This isn’t necessary.
Visiting London I sometimes wander into the Gower Street quad to enjoy a coffee
with my Alma Mater. In University College London, it’s possible and pleasant to
wander the halls to reminisce. There are not too many cameras to spoil the
architecture and security is still handled by the famous maroon jacketed
Beadles. UCL seems to blend seamlessly into the leafy squares of Bloomsbury
accommodating many buildings with open doors and welcoming receptionists. By
contrast, other universities have degenerated into carceral gulags, accessible
only by appointment, through turnstiles and scanners and patrolled by black-
clad goonies.
Certainly we must keep reminding the world that a digital dystopia is
inappropriate in the context of teaching and learning. Offensive technology
must not be allowed to fade into the background, to become normalised,
quiescent and acceptable.
But these are only the visible manifestations of a deeper malaise. Drifting
from a public good into the waters of brutal corporate values, the academy –
lured by the siren song of a security industry – has marked its own students as
pirates and brigands.
One backwater university began blocking students from forwarding mail from
their institutional Microsoft accounts to their personal inboxes, on the
grounds that they might “exfiltrate teaching materials”. In a world where MIT
and Stanford put their best courses online for free it beggars belief what goes
through the minds of ICT staff so cloistered and divorced from core functions.
“Drifting from a public good into the waters of brutal corporate values, the
academy – lured by the siren song of a security industry – has marked its own
students as pirates and brigands.”Of course, in the name of fairness the same
implied criminality and untrustworthiness is extended to staff. Anyone trying
to run labs or prepare teaching materials for microelectronics, IoT, web
technology, or cybersecurity, must face stiff resistance to any non-Microsoft
activity that cannot be brought under boot of centralised surveillance.
I wonder, other than digital rights researchers like myself; who else is
watching this death spiral in the academy? College unions like the UCU and NUS
(student union) seem to have little or no awareness of the digital rights
abuses perpetrated against staff and students in our universities under the
banners of “security” and “efficiency”.
“It serves everyone but the key stakeholders in education; lecturers and
students.”Offensive technology serves the chancellors, trustees, landlords,
governments, industries, advertisers, sponsors, technology corporations,
suppliers and publishers. It serves administrators who believe technology will
deliver fast, efficient, uniform, accountable, secure, and most of all cheap
education. It serves everyone but the key stakeholders in education; lecturers
and students. The cost of draconian over-monitoring is that it corrodes our
ability to teach and learn as fully human beings.
But again, monitoring and obstruction are only two aspects of the technological
menace facing teaching. I was asked to look at all forms of harmful technology,
and these cannot be located in specific systems or policies, Instead I
enumerated broad categories of harm, namely technologies that;
* disenfranchise and disempower
* dehumanise
* discriminate and exclude
* extract or seek rent
* coerce and bully
* mislead or manipulate
On reflection I would add a few less general harms to the original Times HE
list, being technologies that;
* distract
* waste time
* waste resources
* gaslight and disturb █

✐ ‘Linux’Hint_(LinuxHint)_is_Promoting_Microsoft,_Windows,_and_Proprietary
Software_After_Editorial_Change/Handover_(Updated)⠀✐
Posted in Deception, GNU/Linux, Microsoft, Windows at 12:12 am by Dr. Roy
Schestowitz
Another typical day at ‘Linux’Hint
🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽⦇LinuxHint_shills_Windows⦈_
Summary: The above is what we’re getting this early morning in LinuxHint; it
has been happening a_lot_lately. Microsofters infesting “Linux” sites is a VERY
MAJOR problem. All the readers will go away sooner or later. Rafia Zafar, for
instance, has been destroying ‘Linux’Hint by basically promoting the opposite
of Linux. Others are doing the same, so it boils down to more than a single
person. Every “howto” (e.g. Git instructions) assumes that the reader uses NOT
LINUX but Microsoft, GitHub (proprietary and an EEE-style attack on Git), and
of course WINDOWS. Are the site’s founders aware of this extreme loss of
direction?
Here’s an example published 3 hours ago:
🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽⦇Oracle_and_Windows⦈_
Another new example (added to RSS a few hours ago):
🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽⦇Windows_and_Microsoft,proprietary⦈
There have been like 50 others like the above lately (about Git, promoting
Windows and Microsoft GitHub in a site with “Linux” in its name).
Sadly, a lot of other “Linux”-named and/or Linux-themed sites have been doing
similarly mischievous things lately (many examples in 2022). About half a dozen
of them — sites or blogs that we had long followed — resorted to outright
linkspam, spamfarming, and other rogue “publications” (not due to the domains
being hijacked, merely a change of agenda). We therefore had to remove those
from the checking cycles.
Update: Only 2 hours have passed since publishing the above. Refreshing
‘Linux’Hint (RSS) again, we see lots more Windows, including Git manuals that
are actually for Windows users (in a site called ‘Linux‘Hint)
🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽⦇Assumes_you_use_Microsoft,_Windows,Github⦈
It certainly seems like the people who run the site ‘Linux‘Hint do not use GNU/
Linux.

Patents Likely the Biggest Barrier
Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0
http://techrights.org/videos/swpats-distro-pains.webm
Summary: The goals of software freedom still heavily depend on our collective
ability to eternally demolish all software patents, contrary to what OIN_and
LOT are trying_to_do along with the Linux_Foundation
SOFTWARE patents are a big problem. They remain_a_massive_barrier_to_software
freedom,_including_GNU/Linux_distributions. At risk of repeating ourselves, it
is important to constantly highlight the problem with software patents because
many people misframe the issue, as we recently saw when Google removed an image
format from Chrome, retracting it due solely to software patents.
Back in October we wrote about Fedora's_conflict/dilemma_with_software_patents
and this issue returns due to other_distros_facing_similar_problems/fears. When
someone says that “debian doesn’t care” one misses the point that Debian
actually does care but takes certain scenarios into account. As an associate
put it today, software “patents [are] misunderstood, there is no hurry to sue
until the codecs are widespread enough to make it profitable to do so; they can
wait until the last day of the patent to do so” (like ‘submarine patents’).
“At risk of repeating ourselves, it is important to constantly highlight the
problem with software patents because many people misframe the issue, as we
recently saw when Google removed an image format from Chrome, retracting it due
solely to software patents.”The associate asserted that people who post online
about this issues are “totally confusing patents with copyright and vice
versa”. The “Manjaro link,” for example, “shows some persistent
misunderstandings, misinformation about the very nature of sodrware patents.
Same for the latest Brodie video in the [above]. Submarine patents are a threat
for their entire life cycle and unlike trademarks don’t have to be enforced to
be kept valid. Like with GIF / LZW a standards-essential patent can be allowed
and even encouraged to spread far and wide so as to maximize the amount of
money harvested in the shakedown when the patent is enforced for the first
time.”
The associate wanted to revisit the issue, asserting that misconceptions are
spreading “and RMS is right about “IPR” being not only a misnomer but
intentionally confusing people on the separate topics…”
Psydruid has meanwhile asked, “how do these (Western) patents hold up in
countries like India, China and Russia?”
“We’ve not been covering software patents lately and neither did most sites
that used to cover the topic.”I told him that Western monopolists are lobbying
and shaming those countries, forcing them to assimilate using IAM and other
rags that shame those countries into “compliance”.
“I would declare those companies “compania non grata“,” Psydruid said, as “they
don’t do anything for India, but obey their US masters instead.”
We’ve not been covering software patents lately and neither did most sites that
used to cover the topic. The EFF has been mostly silent on that front. Recently
someone complained online that Microsoft-sponsored media was celebrating and
promoting software patents, remarking on one particular example as follows:
The summary and the article are missing the link to the actual patent
at the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) lists “US 20220362677
A1″, which was published recently on 2022-11-17. Outrageously the
USPTO does_not_have_a_viable_search_interface and even for known
items where one has the patent number it is only possible to find a
rendering of the document in their web “app” after a lot of time and
effort. Even then it is not possible to link to the actual patent
either let alone bookmark it. That is reprehensible.
Anyway, that rant aside, it is important to rant about the apparent
fraud being perpetrated by EA there and by the parties reporting on
the patent, or more specifically on the pretend patent
That is because software is no longer eligible for patenting in the
US and has never been eligible in Europe. In fact, there was only a
relatively short period when it was sort of allowed. Nowadays, in the
US, protection from patents has been restored to software just as it
had been back during the period of exponential growth. This change is
the result of the court case “Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank International”
aka “Alice”. See also the case “In re Bernard L. Bilski and Rand A.
Warsaw” aka “Bilski”.
The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) sometimes grants invalid
patents. It has also in the past rubber stamped many software
patents. Win or lose software patents means a drawn out, protracted
fight in the courts and the accompanying legal fees, so it’s rare to
find a lawyer who doesn’t promote them even though they are invalid.
If I recall correctly each such case costs the defending company an
average of $4M USD. East Texas is a jurisdiction infamous for such
activities. The traditional defense of cross-licensing is completely
ineffective against NPEs in jurisdictions where software patents are
used. The only defense is to operate in jurisdictions where they are
not allowed. The way it works is that non-practicing_entities_(NPEs)
create_shell_companies with no assets and sue companies over software
patents in such jurisdictions: With an empty shell there are no
assets to confiscate should, after great expense of both time and
money, a company win in court against one. Instead of collecting in
the case of a win, the NPE and the money both disappear in a greasy
cloud of smoke while at the same instant, in the same East Texas
suite, at the same East Texas PO Box, a new non-practicing entity
spins up with an analog patent.
There is a lot of money riding on this from a small herd of lawyers,
including Microsoft’s own lawyers and many apparently corrupt
politicians on both sides of the pond. However, those with the
largest stake and the most money to lose, computer users, are in the
dark.
Microsoft has extensive history arming/weaponising trolls against GNU/Linux.
Don’t ever forget that. █

✐ Tribalism_at_Sirius_‘Open_Source’⠀✐
Posted in Deception, Free/Libre_Software at 12:46 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽⦇Sirius_‘Open_Source':Three's_Company⦈
Summary: Sirius_‘Open_Source’ has a severe case of nepotism and obscene case of
hiring unqualified people based on ‘bedroom politics’; pointing this out to a
friend outside the company is impressible, even if this endemic issue leads to
technical issues and low employee morale
THE nepotism at Sirius was almost tolerable until colleagues found out they had
been denied access to certain systems that far less qualified and barely-
experienced colleagues were able to access. And why? Bedroom politics.
“The company’s management wasn’t willing to tackle the problem and instead
viewed critics as the problem.”Bedroom politics is a recurring theme at Sirius
and it’s further exacerbated by the fact that we’re talking about people
without relevant qualifications and experience, having the audacity to suggest
that people who work in daytime (like two bedroom partners) should be paid more
than technical staff that’s on the beat all night long (with further
disturbance to sleeping patterns owing to shift alternations about 6 times per
month, akin to jetlag with all the lasting health implications).
“Sirius is going to find out that covering up abuses is a short-term strategy
and a terrible technique/method for quelling dissent.”The company’s management
wasn’t willing to tackle the problem and instead viewed critics as the problem.
Even if those critics merely discussed the matter outside of work without even
naming the company or the people.
Sirius is going to find out that covering up abuses is a short-term strategy
and a terrible technique/method for quelling dissent. It’ll all come out
eventually. As noted in the report below, the company already has a history
when it comes to that and it already resulted in major staff exodus; the
reputation of the company cannot be redeemed by creating more and more “shells”
as people inevitably find out who’s who (or where they came from).
=> =============================================================================
As it stands, several employees have a romantic relationship and in spite of
inadequate skills one trio of workers (with a very unconventional love affair,
akin to a wife swap and love triangle) enjoy privileged access to some systems
that more veteran colleagues cannot access. It’s perfectly clear that some
people make all the decisions behind closed doors and some are denied any
influence whatsoever because they are not part of the “clique” or the literal
family. Career progression is not based on merits but a facade thereof. If it’s
about who one knows who (or sleeps with who), then this degrades the image of
the company, at least internally. One of the trio suggested lowering the salary
of the nighttime Support Team, which her two other halfs aren’t part of. That’s
rather offensive and can repulse those who really deserve double the salary for
working overnight.
To quote or to paraphrase Roy and Rianne’s replies to threatening messages:
Dear all,
I believe I was unfairly treated on several grounds, including
relevant protocols pertaining to several aspects. I will spare you
the details but can elaborate if needed.
Here is the gist of the issues:
1. No due process
2. Verbal/oral distortion of claims
3. You misrepresented alleged evidence, but conveniently presented it
as facts to my wife
4. No hard evidence presented (just a reference to a handbook we lack
a copy of)
5. Rather gross accusation inflation against a person whom you did
not even speak to
There are more points, but I shall keep this brief.
The company has a history doing this to couples, e.g. one blind
colleague based in Germany; it was very serious and it went to court,
based on a trusted source (it cost the company and/or its Directors —
████████ and ████████ — a lot of money, as went on for a long time;
allegedly got settled at the end but injured the company).
We visited lawyers on Friday and on Monday. We spoke about the facts
in length and have a good understanding of our rights.
We agreed that we don’t yet wish to escalate this matter and would
rather settle amicably.
Regards,
Roy,
[Your longest-serving employee (aside from the founder)]
=> =============================================================================
Actually, as we recently discovered, he’s not even the founder but more of an
opportunist. As we shall show later (some time next month), it’s even worse
than this.
Sirius will find out the hard way that Sirius should have stayed true to its
mission instead of straying to Microsoft’s orgy_territories. █

Universities Gone Astray

Summary: When institutions of higher education (colleges/universities) are
occupied by people who cannot build and maintain systems the whole institutions
are likely to be hijacked by ‘surveillance capitalism’ companies that work_for
the_American_government
EARLIER today we published part_one_(of_four_parts) from 'Digital_Vegan' Andy
Farnell (visiting professor specialising in sound and security), who bemoans
the situation at universities’ IT departments. These used to be specialised and
well-trained/highly-skilled departments, but nowadays they’re dumbed-down
bureaucracy which became increasingly about selecting vendors to outsource to,
i.e. not about technology at all. This is getting worse really fast, owing in
part to the exodus of geeks and the influx of buzzword slingers (e.g. “Clown
Computing”).
“Today’s universities seem to attract the very worst sysadmins, maybe those who
could not find employment elsewhere.”“FOSS is useful in mitigating or even
reversing the dystopian trends,” an associate has said to us after we published
part one, adding that the culprits are “corporate flunkies working against the
university, and double handful of resellers too.”
In the video above I tell my personal experiences, dealing with IT departments
at universities from 2000 until 2012. I can still recall (from a decade back)
some truly embarrassing stories. Today’s universities seem to attract the very
worst sysadmins, maybe those who could not find employment elsewhere. █

o ⚓ Unix Men ☛ The_Benefits_of_Choosing_Linux_Over_Other_Operating
Systems⠀⇛
Linux is a powerful, open-source operating system that is
becoming increasingly popular among computer users of all
kinds. It is known for its stability, flexibility, and
security features.
Speaking about security, did you know that the average
global cost of a data breach is roughly $4 billion?
Cyberattacks are more prevalent today and ever, and
therefore, every internet user must possess the best VPN
to combat the ever-rising cyber threat!
Coming back to the OS, this article will explore why
Linux can be your ideal operating system.
o § Desktop/Laptop⠀➾
# ⚓ Unix Men ☛ 6_reasons_why_Linux_is_an_ideal_solution_for
programming⠀⇛
Today we will talk with you about Linux, an
operating system that is gaining popularity
simultaneously with the development of open-source
software, and its main advantages. How can such
operating systems be of interest to an ordinary
user or developer?
We have collected the most commonly accepted
arguments that Linux is favored among developers
and cited the top 6 points why many programmers
value Linux so much.

o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾
# ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Linux_Fu:_Miller_The_Killer_Makes_CSV_No_Pest_|
Hackaday⠀⇛
Historically, one of the nice things about Unix and
Linux is that everything is a file, and files are
just sequences of characters. Of course, modern
practice is that everything is not a file, and
there is a proliferation of files with some imposed
structure. However, if you’ve ever worked on old
systems where your file access was by the block,
you’ll appreciate the Unix-like files. Classic
tools like awk, sed, and grep work with this idea.
Files are just characters. But this sometimes has
its problems. That’s the motivation behind a tool
called Miller, and I think it deserves more
attention because, for certain tasks, it is a
lifesaver.
# ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ How_to_Use_the_csplit_Command_to_Split_Files
on_Linux⠀⇛
csplit is a popular Linux command-line utility used
to split the contents of a file into two. The file
you need to alter must be a text file with a “.txt”
extension.
The command is easy to use and works well on all
Linux distributions. With the use of different
flags available for csplit, you can also modify the
output according to your need.
# ⚓ UNIX Cop ☛ How_To_Install_Stremio_on_Ubuntu_20.04_|_22.04

clean your Ubuntu system.
# ⚓ TechRepublic ☛ How_to_track_project_time_using_use_this
OpenProject_tool⠀⇛
Most project management tools include so many great
features that it’s easy to overlook a standout
feature — that was the case for me with
OpenProject’s Time and Cost tool. With this tool,
you can easily see how much labor and cost is going
into a project; plus, you can add a widget to your
dashboard that shows how many hours have gone into
a project, so you can quickly glance at those
numbers.
# ⚓ UNIX Cop ☛ How_To_Install_Hiri_Email_Client_on_Ubuntu_20.04

with the Vantage Broker on a Chromebook.
# ⚓ H2S Media ☛ 2_Ways_to_Install_QOwnNotes_on_Ubuntu_22.04_or
20.04⠀⇛
QOwnNotes is an open-source application that we can
install on Linux such as Ubuntu. The USP of it is
the users can jot down their notes in a plain-text
markdown file on a PC or laptop. The best part it
not only comes with markdown support but also
offers a to-do list manager and can work with
Nextcloud and OwnCloud personal clouds for syncing
notes across multiple devices. It supports
spellchecking as well.
# ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_InfluxDB_on_Rocky_Linux_9_–
idroot⠀⇛
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install
InfluxDB on Rocky Linux 9. For those of you who
didn’t know, InfluxDB is a popular open-source time
series database that is often used for storing and
analyzing time-stamped data, such as performance
metrics and sensor data. InfluxDB is written in the
Go programming language and is optimized for fast,
high-availability storage and retrieval of time
series data. It can run on a variety of platforms,
including Linux.
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 InfluxDB open-source database
on Rocky Linux. 9.
# ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ How_to_Install_and_Play_GOG_Games_on_Linux⠀⇛

Passbolt is a password manager you can use for team
collaboration, and it offers plenty of the features
you’ve grown accustomed to having at your
fingertips, such as a random password generator,
team collaboration, folders, tags and user access
control. This password manager is designed
specifically for Agile and DevOps teams, and it’s
application programming interface-centric and
developer-first.
# ⚓ FOSS Post ☛ Install_Redshift_to_Get_Night_Light_on_Linux⠀⇛
Looking to the default blue light emitted by
computers all the time is not recommended; as it
leads to eye strain and other health issues. You
will notice this the most if you try to use your
computer at night, and you will get blinded by the
strong bright blue light coming out of it.
Night light is a layer that replaces part of the
blue light emitted by computer monitors at night
with red light, so that they become more
comfortable to the human eye to work with,
especially at night.
Redshift is a software that enables night light on
Linux. It is free and open source, and works on
almost all Linux distributions.
You can easily install the software and use it on
your distribution, which is what we’ll explain in
this article.
# ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Xfce_4.18_Coming_to_MX_Linux_in_January:_How_to
Install_It_Early⠀⇛
However, on December 15, the brand-new version Xfce
4.18 was released as a significant update to the
popular Xfce desktop environment, including many
improvements.
For example, the Thunar file manager can now
display the count of containing files for
directories in the “Size” column in the list view.
Moreover, it can now undo and redo basic file
operations such as move, rename, trash, link, and
create actions.
Furthermore, Xfce 4.18 brings to the scene a file
highlighting, making the user experience more
colorful in the literal sense. Under the hood,
scaling has been improved with UI scaling support,
and there is a newly redesigned Clock plugin which
includes a sleep monitor and a new binary time
mode.
MX Linux’s developers announced today that its
users would receive Xfce 4.18 as an update in
January. Fortunately, for the most impatient, there
is a way to install Xfce 4.18 early on MX Linux,
and here I’ll show you how to do it.
However, keep in mind that installing pre-release
software can be risky, as it may contain bugs and
other issues that still need to be addressed.
# ⚓ LaTeX_spreadtab_cells_reference⠀⇛
When I create LaTeX files containing complex tables
with many correlated numbers, I use spreadtab.
Overall, I like the package, but it often needs
better documentation, not because features are not
documented but because it’s hard to find what you
are looking for. Cells references are an example of
this, but it is a critical topic for this package,
so those are the ways I’ve discovered to sum a
column of values. To do so, I’ll take the example
of page 19 of the package documentation.
# ⚓ Video ☛ How_to_install_Linux_Mint_21.1_“Vera”_Cinnamon_–

# ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ curl_-w_certs_|_daniel.haxx.se⠀⇛
When a client connects to a TLS server it gets sent
one or more certificates during the handshake.
Those certificates are verified by the client, to
make sure that the server is indeed the right one:
the server the client expects it to be; no impostor
and no man in the middle etc.
When such a server certificate is signed by a
Certificate Authority (CA), that CA’s certificate
is normally not sent by the server but the client
is expected to have it already in its CA store.

# ⚓ Enterprisers Project ☛ Remote_work:_3_cultural_benefits_–
and_potential_risks⠀⇛
For better or worse, remote work seems to be here
to stay. What arose out of necessity has evolved
into a new way of working and living.
Remote work has given us new worlds of efficiency,
unprecedented levels of access, and endless
convenience. As long as we keep an eye on the costs
of these improvements, we can reap the cultural
benefits while staying connected at a human level.

o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾
# ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Ubuntu_Touch_Isn’t_Dead_Yet⠀⇛
Ubuntu developer Canonical tried years ago to make
its way to the smartphone game with Ubuntu Touch.
It failed to take off, but independent developers
have kept the dream alive. Now, we have a build
based on Ubuntu 20.04.
A release candidate build of Ubuntu Touch based on
20.04 has been released by the independent
developers at UBports, letting you make your phone
Linux-powered. That’s not the newest version of
Ubuntu, as it was first released in 2020. However,
Ubuntu Touch has been stuck in 16.04 since
Canonical abandoned the project, so this is the
first time the underlying OS has actually been
updated since UBports began maintaining it.
o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾
# ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Banana_Pi_BPI-Pico-RP2040_–_Raspberry_Pi
Pico_replica_gets_USB-C_port,_I2C_connector,_and_RGB_LED_–
CNX_Software⠀⇛
Banana Pi BPI-Pico-RP2040 is basically a clone of
the original Raspberry Pi Pico, but with the
addition of an RGB LED and a 4-pin I2C connector,
and the company replaced the micro USB port with a
Type-C connector.
The rest of the board, also called Banana Pi Pico,
is exactly the same up to the through holes and
castellated holes for the I/Os, and has a similar
form factor as the Banana Pi BPI-PicoW-S3 that adds
WiFi and Bluetooth through the ESP32-S3 wireless
microcontroller.
# ⚓ CNX Software ☛ $4_DshanMCU_Pitaya_Lite_board_comes_with
MM32_Arm_Cortex-M3_microcontroller_–_CNX_Software⠀⇛
DshanMCU Pitaya Lite is an MCU development board
based on yet another STM32 alternative: MindMotion
MM32 Arm Cortex-M3 microcontroller that is said to
be compatible with STM32.
The MCU can be clocked at up to 120 MHz, embeds
128KB SRAM, 512KB flash, and the board offers two
USB Type-C ports for USB and DAP debugging, a
MicroSD card slot, a few buttons, I/Os are routed
via through holes as well as a mini PCIe connector
that can be used to connect a display.

* § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾
o ⚓ Linux Links ☛ Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Alternatives_to_Google
Contacts⠀⇛
Google has a firm grip on the desktop. Their products and
services are ubiquitous. Don’t get us wrong, we’re long-
standing admirers of many of Google’s products and
services. They are often high quality, easy to use, and
‘free’, but there can be downsides of over-reliance on a
specific company. For example, there are concerns about
their privacy policies, business practices, and an almost
insatiable desire to control all of our data, all of the
time.
What if you are looking to move away from Google and
embark on a new world of online freedom, where you are
not constantly tracked, monetised and attached to
Google’s ecosystem.
In this series we explore how you can migrate from Google
without missing out on anything. We recommend open source
solutions.
o § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾
# ⚓ DebugPoint ☛ Deleting_All_Types_of_Contents_from_Calc_Range
using_Macro⠀⇛
This tutorial explains how to delete contents from
cells or ranges in LibreOffice Calc using macro.
Using a macro, you can clear everything that
contains in a cell or in a range of cells. In this
tutorial we will clear every type of contents from
a range. Before clearing out contents from ranges,
the macro needs to determine the type of cell
contents. Because if you want to delete everything
from cells, you need to consider the value, the
formatting styles, etc.
# ⚓ DebugPoint ☛ Date_and_Time_Processing_in_LibreOffice_Calc
using_Macro⠀⇛
This tutorial explains the basic date and time
processing in basic macro in LibreOffice Calc.
In basic, a Date is a datatype that stores date and
time values. By default, it holds Jan 1 year 0001
midnight. We will pick any date and process it in
different ways. Let’s explain the concept using
some examples.
o § Programming/Development⠀➾
# ⚓ Kubernetes Blog ☛ Kubernetes_1.26:_Job_Tracking,_to_Support
Massively_Parallel_Batch_Workloads,_Is_Generally_Available_|
Kubernetes⠀⇛
The Kubernetes 1.26 release includes a stable
implementation of the Job controller that can
reliably track a large amount of Jobs with high
levels of parallelism. SIG Apps and WG Batch have
worked on this foundational improvement since
Kubernetes 1.22. After multiple iterations and
scale verifications, this is now the default
implementation of the Job controller.
Paired with the Indexed completion mode, the Job
controller can handle massively parallel batch
Jobs, supporting up to 100k concurrent Pods.
The new implementation also made possible the
development of Pod failure policy, which is in beta
in the 1.26 release.
# ⚓ Shell_Programming_Secrets_Nobody_Talks_About⠀⇛
Most tutorials about shell programming are often
part of larger guides on Linux. They gloss over the
numerous ways that your code might work but still
fail under certain circumstances. Given that shell
scripts are used to manage billions of dollars of
assets, it is important to learn how to write clean
and safe code with them.
Last year, I wrote a book on Linux command-line
tips and tricks, and made several updates to it.
Annoyingly, I continue to discover something new
and important about the Bash shell program almost
every week. I did not want this happening after I
had ordered my author copy. The discoveries made me
wonder what I have been doing all these years
without knowing these bash secrets.
# § Python⠀➾
# ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ How_to_Read_Text_Files_in_Python⠀⇛
While working with the Python application,
you would be required to read and write text
files in Python. You can refer to our other
tutorial to write a text file in Python.
Reading a text file in Python is a simple
process that can be accomplished using a few
different methods.
# § Rust⠀➾
# ⚓ Rust Weekly Updates ☛ This_Week_In_Rust:_This_Week_in
Rust_475⠀⇛
o § Standards/Consortia⠀➾
# ⚓ Jonathan Dowland ☛ Jonathan_Dowland:_dark_mode⠀⇛
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the crux of
the technical side was to define “alternate
stylesheets”, something I was playing around with
20 years ago. If your browser supports it (Firefox
does at least: View → Page Style) you can select
one of “dark”, “light” or “default”, the last of
which follows what your OS settings/preferences
are.
The last puzzle piece was a CSS media type query
prefers-color-scheme to activate stanzas of CSS
depending on the browser/OS light/dark preference.
There is some awkwardness around this which is
mitigated in my case by using a CSS pre-processor,
in my case Sass.
* § Leftovers⠀➾
o ⚓ Tedium ☛ A_Genuine_Link_To_The_Past⠀⇛
2022 was not a great year for my family. We lost my
father in mid-April (on Easter Sunday). That itself was
unexpected and devastating. He’d been dealing with some
health issues, but we didn’t see it coming. In the
aftermath, we had to sort through his life and find a way
to move on. When things finally started to seem like they
were improving, my father-in-law—who was like a second
father to me—also passed. And my aunt passed away about a
week ago. In the face of all this, I found solace in
family, friends, writing, therapy, and (much to my
surprise) video games. I began revisiting the Legend of
Zelda series because it has a special meaning to me. And
although it wasn’t something over which my father and I
bonded much, it still managed to help me cope with some
of my grief (so much so that my therapist actually
recommended I play Breath of the Wild more frequently).
Today’s Tedium is going in a slightly different
direction. It’s a story about how three different Legend
of Zelda games somehow managed to help me process and
understand my own grief. But more than that, it’s a story
about my life and some things I haven’t thought about for
a very long time.
o ⚓ [Old]_Blockchain_has_no_place_in_Land_Registries_|_Stop_at_Zona-
M⠀⇛
I had already covered another application of this
particular snake oil last year, but now there is a recent
post on Medium that gives even more excellent explanation
why the whole general idea is crap, no matter what use
case you dump it on.
[...]
Conflicts about the property of a house “require a
central party (acting on behalf of the state and the rule
of law) to update the register without the owners’
consent forcefully”. But that does not require a
blockchain at all to happen. Quite the contrary actually.
Throwing a blockchain into the handling of house property
disputes would be just “technical convolution for no
reason”.
Inside this domain or, again, any other kind of property
“the blockchain offers absolutely nothing over
traditional databases”. As I said, further details are
here, and I repeat the invitation to read them all.
o ⚓ Favourite_books_of_2022:_Classics_–_Chris_Lamb⠀⇛
As a follow-up to yesterday’s post detailing my favourite
works of fiction from 2022, today I’ll be listing my
favourite fictional works that are typically filed under
classics.
o § Hardware⠀➾
# ⚓ CubicleNate ☛ Building_a_New_Retro_Styled_Computer_–
CubicleNate’s_Techpad⠀⇛
Computers are a lot more fun when they are personal
and have a bit of personaltity to them. You can’t
get much more personalized than 3D printing your
very own retro styled computer. This was all
inspired by watching an episode on the YouTube
channel, Retro Recipes, where LadyFractic built
herself a retro computer, my daughter wanted to
build a computer for herself. I wasn’t sure how
serious she was on it but she kept watching the two
part series over and over again which indicated to
me that this was a project that had to be
completed. When I asked what color she wanted, her
face lit up and she said “pink” that cemented the
deal for me. We are making one of these in pink and
I think it is going to look pretty darn cool.
o § Proprietary⠀➾
# ⚓ Cameyo_adds_support_for_Linux_apps_to_their_Cloud_Desktops
–_OnMSFT.com [Ed: Microsoft boosters love this thing]⠀⇛
Cameyo, a Virtual App Delivery provider, today is
announcing support for Linux apps for the first
time. The company’s platform has already allowed
“delivery of Windows, SaaS, and internal web apps
to any device,” now adds Linux apps, which for
companies that don’t rely on apps needing to be run
on Windows Servers, could significantly reduce
costs.
# ⚓ DebugPoint ☛ [Fixed]_Failed_to_connect_to
raw.githubusercontent.com_port_443:_Connection_refused [Ed:

o § Linux Foundation⠀➾
# ⚓ Geospatial Media and Communications ☛ Linux’s_AgStack
Project_will_build_dataset_of_field_boundaries⠀⇛
The Linux Foundation announced its AgStack Project,
which will host an open-source code base, along
with a fully automated, continuous computation
engine that will maintain a global dataset of
boundaries for agricultural fields. The AgStack
Asset Registry dataset will aid food traceability,
carbon tracking, crop production, and other field-
level analytics.
o § Security⠀➾
# ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Wednesday_[LWN.net]⠀⇛
Security updates have been issued by Fedora (curl)
and SUSE (curl, freeradius-server, sqlite3,
systemd, and vim).
# ⚓ Wladimir Palant ☛ LastPass_breach:_The_significance_of
these_password_iterations_|_Almost_Secure⠀⇛
LastPass has been breached, data has been stolen. I
already pointed out that their official statement
is misleading. I also explained that decrypting
passwords in the stolen data is possible which
doesn’t mean however that everybody is at risk now.
For assessing whether you are at risk, a fairly
hidden setting turned out critical: password
iterations.
LastPass provides an instruction to check this
setting. One would expect it to be 100,100 (the
LastPass default) for almost everyone. But plenty
of people report having 5,000 configured there,
some 500 and occasionally it’s even 1 (in words:
one) iteration.

From a 1904 study of queer Berlin to the
mysteries of a hole-punched archive, a
rundown of the ten most read pieces we
published this year.
* § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾
o § Personal⠀➾
# ⚓ Sofa_repair⠀⇛
This is the second time I’ve grabbed my sons and
repaired the sofa in the basement movie room. I’m
stubborn, I think. The thing is, the kids have
loved to launch themselves onto the sofa, which has
caused considerable damage. I’ve tried to explain
it to them…
# ⚓ Meeting_the_Luthier⠀⇛
I play the violin (for pleasure; I took lessons for
10yrs as a kid, but those skills have long since
gathered dust), and recently noticed that my sound
post seemed a little askew. Without much hope of
finding anyone to help closer than 1.5hrs away in
the big city, I hopped on Google to see if I could
locate a luthier who could make an ajustment.
To my utter amazement, I found that there is a
luthier a couple miles from my house, right here in
my little mid-Missouri city! I have no idea what
the odds are of this happening, but I’m fairly
certain they’re small. After some digging around, I
sent him an email.
[...]
My bridge was not quite right either, I learned.
# ⚓ 🔤SpellBinding:_ACMOPTU_Wordo:_LIVED⠀⇛
o § Politics⠀➾
# ⚓ Identity⠀⇛
Identity can be complicated; consider the humble
tomato, which, in certain jurisdictions, has the
honor of being both a fruit, according to Botany,
and a vegetable, according to the Supreme Court of
the United States of America. The court relied on
the so-called ordinary meaning, presumably that a
majority of the human population use the plant part
as they do some plant parts, but not other plant
parts. The no-so-humble tomato got drunk and set
the hotel room on fire.
o § Technical⠀➾
# ⚓ Pump_the_brakes!⠀⇛
I brought out the enTourage pocket eDGe (ebook
reader) this evening
from the archives. It has been awhile since I used
this device. I
try to keep some charge in it, and it still seems
to be handling well
for its age. This was a quirky device when it came
out, having 2
screens, one resistive LCD and the other an eink
display. There
seemed to be more odd-ball kinds of devices before
than now. These
days, they all seem basically the same. I think the
world needs a
better selection of odd-ball devices.
# ⚓ Overpass⠀⇛
Overpass is an interface used to query OSM data.
Overpass Turbo is an Overpass web client you can
use to query OSM data, export it, &c.
# ⚓ Merry_Christmas!⠀⇛
Merry Christmas! Hristos se naște! С Рождеством!
Feliĉan Kristnaskon! Веселого Родженја!
Hey Gemini! Hoping your holidays have been merry
and bright. I’m at another conference, this time as
staff of a sort. I’m helping with post-lecture
small group discussions, kinda like a TA. The first
session I ran went well, and the bishop joined the
group too. He’s a great guy.
# ⚓ Thoughts_on_Privacy_Exploits_in_Gemini⠀⇛
For the purpose of this post, I’m going to ignore
the possible ways companies could add their own
“extensions” to the Gemini protocol to get around
privacy and surveillance limitations. I’ll only
look at ways existing standards and practices could
be abused.
Yesterday Sean responded^ to a older post by Ainent
about a potential security issues in Gemini.
Specifically, big tech could use marketing and PR
campaigns to push their own browsers, browsers that
auto-generate client certificates and attach them
to every request the browser makes. Sean pointed
out that such a practice might be more correctly
considered a privacy issue, and that there are
other, simpler ways to track users, such as
analyzing IP logs and page requests.
# ⚓ Project_and_Study_Updates⠀⇛
I haven’t posted here for a while, so here are a
few updates on what I’ve been working on:
Stargazing and astronomy studies have been a big
one. Details on that are pretty well covered by my
Star Log gemlog.
# ⚓ sudo_make_install⠀⇛
But when I was trying to compile some documents,
the neatpdf PDF postprocessor couldn’t find the
requested fonts and it looked all wrong with weird
or no fonts. Everything was installed in $(BASE)
correctly. I could compile the same document in the
git source directory and get the right results, so
it had to be something to do with the way in which
contents of files are changed for being used from $
(BASE).
# § Science⠀➾
# ⚓ More_binocular_astronomy⠀⇛
Compared to just a few months ago when I made
my last post, night time now comes a lot
sooner and gets a lot darker, which means I
don’t need to be content with looking at the
moon or tremendously bright things like
Jupiter. I have spent a lot more time with my
binoculars outside at night.
# ⚓ Binocular_observation_of_Jupiter_and_the_moon⠀⇛
When I was young, I used to be quite into
astronomy (I was into a lot of things before
computing came along and hypnotised me to the
exclusion of much else for a big chunk of my
life which I’ll never get back). I never
owned a telescope or even, as far as I
recall, binoculars, and to be honest I’m not
sure I even felt the need. I grew up
somewhere moderately remote, where light
pollution wasn’t really an issue, so you
could just go outside and look up on a clear
night and behold the Milky Way whenever you
felt like it. Shooting stars and satellites
were things you could easily spot multiple
times on any given night. I had one of those
little rotating cardboard wheel star chart
things, and I learned my way around the sky
pretty well and spotted plenty of planets. I
guess maybe all of this is more what you
would call “stargazing” rather than amateur
astronomy per se, although maybe that’s a
bogus and snobbish distinction to draw. I
guess it took a while even after the internet
and computing appeared in my life for this
interest to completely wane, I remember
taking a degree of geeky pride in making the
objectively unwise decision to interrupt my
sleep at some ungodly hour the night before
my final high school physics exam in order to
watch a meteor shower (I still did fine). And
I was even in my university’s astronomy club,
although to be honest that was mostly just a
social club for hypernerds and any kind of
genuine astronomy-based event was outnumbered
more than ten to one by quiz nights, video
nights, fundraising BBQs, etc. Good times, to
be sure, but I spent more time staring at the
skies by myself as a kid. Until very
recently, it had been definitely over a
decade since I’d done *anything* like any of
the above.
# § Internet/Gemini⠀➾
# ⚓ introducing_booji.mutated.net⠀⇛
OK, and we’re back! I had a bunch of sysadmin
stuff I needed to do
with my gopherspace and that’s the reason why
it’s been “Under
Construction.” I basically offloaded my past
phlog phosts and
projects over to my own server, which I have
been meaning to do for
quite some time. My current phlog updates
will remain as part of the
sdf hosted gopher.club / Internet Gopher Club
Underground Syndicate.
There probably won’t be much noticable
difference, aside from the
server name for the older stuff.

# ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Ear_Tag_(GTK_Audio_Tag_Editor)_Gets_a_Major
Performance_Boost_–_OMG!_Ubuntu!⠀⇛
Significant performance improvements and additional
editing capabilities are included in the latest
version of Ear Tag.
Ear Tag is GTK4/libadwaita app designed for simple
editing of audio file metadata. While designed for
editing individual tracks you can use it to batch
edit fields for multiple audio files at the same
time. During the festive period a new version of of
the app was released that enhances the focused
feature-set further.
The Github description for the Ear Tag 0.3.0
release touts “greatly improved performance“, with
faster loading times when working with and/or
switching between audio files and, for the
impatient, a loading indicator to reassure you the
app is still functioning! Devs say they’ve also
resolved several memory leaks.
Additionally, it’s now possible to edit more tag
fields in Ear Tag v0.3.0, including less-common and
niche tags like arranger, BPM, composer, copyright,
ISRC, language, mood, and more. Audio files with
existing metadata for these tags show editable
fields, or you can use the new “select a tag” menu
to add these tags individually.

# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Enable_the_SSH_Server_On_Pop!_OS⠀⇛
Secure Shell (SSH) works as the secure network
protocol to make a secured connection between
clients and a server. SSH is a popular approach
nowadays to establish secure connections easily.
You can securely transfer files from one system to
another by activating SSH. However, many users
always need clarification about enabling the SSH
server in Linux. So, in this tutorial, we will give
you a brief about a simple process to enable SSH on
a Pop!_OS system.
# ⚓ Linux Shell Tips ☛ How_to_Convert_Hexadecimal_to_Decimal
Numbers_in_Linux⠀⇛
This guide explores various ways that you can use
to convert hexadecimal to decimal values in Linux
bash scripting.
In computing, there are four types of numbers and
they are Decimal, Binary, Octal, and Hexadecimal.
# ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_NVIDIA_Drivers_on_Ubuntu
22.04_|_20.04_–_LinuxCapable⠀⇛
The Nvidia Graphics Card Drivers can often improve
the performance of Ubuntu systems and often improve
performance for gaming or digital editing. In the
following tutorial, you will learn how to install
NVIDIA Graphic Drivers on 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish LTS
or 20.04 Focal Fossa using four methods that should
suit most user requirements.
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ How_to_Find_Your_IP_Address_on_Pop!_OS⠀⇛
An IP address is a codename on a network of
computers which stands for ‘Internet Protocol.’ It
acts as a mailing address and ensures that the sent
network is received on the correct system. Before
proceeding further, we will learn about the IP
address.
# ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ Enable_or_Disable_Firewall_on_Ubuntu_22.04
|_20.04_–_LinuxCapable⠀⇛
Regarding firewall protection for your system, the
default Ubuntu UFW program is a great option. For
newer users of Ubuntu and Linux, UFW is short for
“uncomplicated firewall.” UFW allows users with
little knowledge of how Linux IPTABLES can secure
their home network or server without the need to
learn complicated long-tail commands that are more
for the sysadmin side of things, where most users
want to add and remove rules. The UFW program was
designed with the home user in mind but can be used
by any user for a home network or server and can be
easily extended if more advanced features are
needed.
The following tutorial will teach you how to check,
enable and disable the UFW firewall and, for
desktop users, install the firewall GUI to better
control UFW for users that do not want to use the
terminal in the future.
# ⚓ Redirecting_webfinger_requests_with_Apache⠀⇛
If you have a personal domain, it is nice if you
can redirect webfinger requests so you can be
easily found via your email. This is hardly a new
idea, but the growth of Mastodon recently has made
this more prominent.
I wanted to redirect webfinger endpoints to a
Mastondon host I am using, but only my email and
only standard Apache rewrites. Below, replace
xxx@yyy\.com with your email and zzz.social with
the account to be redirected to. There are a couple
of tricks in being able to inspect the query-string
and quoting, but the end result that works for me
is
# ⚓ UNIX Cop ☛ How_to_Install_NetBSD?⠀⇛
Hello, friends. In this post, you will see how to

# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Oracle_Create_Database_Link⠀⇛
In Oracle, a database link refers to a database

o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ DietPi_Releases_8.12_With_Support_For_The_Rockchip
RK3588_SoC⠀⇛
This month DietPi released version 8.12 of this SBC-
oriented Linux distribution. Most notable is the addition
of support for the NanoPi R6S and the Radxa ROCK 5B SBCs.
The ROCK 5B features the new flagship Rockchip RK3588 SoC
with quad Cortex-A76 and quad Cortex-A55. What makes
DietPi interesting as an operating system for not just
higher end SBCs but also lower-end SBCs compared to
options like Debian, Raspberry Pi OS and Armbian is that
it has a strong focus on being the most optimized. This
translates in a smaller binary size, lower RAM usage and
more optimized performance.

# ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Hybrid_cloud_infrastructure_modernisation [Ed: A

Public clouds enabled digital transformation at
unprecedented speed. But their operational costs
over time can be exacting as compute needs
increase. Hybrid clouds emerged as an alternative
to gain the benefits of both worlds: private
infrastructure that allows for lower operational
expenditures and tighter control, and public clouds
that can scale with ease.
Organisations looking to adopt a hybrid cloud
architecture should carefully consider their
options for private cloud vendors, as well as their
implications for application design and
development, workload orchestration and long-term
maintenance.

When I think about some of the first commit

# § Python⠀➾
# ⚓ [Old] LWN ☛ The_return_of_lazy_imports_for_Python⠀⇛
Back in September, we looked at a Python
Enhancement Proposal (PEP) to add “lazy”
imports to the language; the execution of
such an import would be deferred until its
symbols were needed in order to save program-
startup time. While the problem of startup
time for short-running, often command-line-
oriented, tools is widely acknowledged in the
Python community, and the idea of deferring
imports is generally popular, there are
concerns about the effect of the feature on
the ecosystem as a whole. Since our article,
the PEP has been revised and discussed
further, but the feature was recently
rejected by the steering council (SC) because
of those concerns; that has not completely
ended the quest for lazy imports, however.
# ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ How_to_Connect_MySQL_Database_in_Python_–
TecAdmin⠀⇛
Python is a popular programming language that
is widely used for web development, data
analysis, scientific computing, and many
other tasks. It is known for its simplicity
and ease of use, making it a great choice for
beginners and experienced developers alike.
One of the key features of Python is its
ability to interact with databases, which
makes it easy to store, retrieve, and
manipulate data.
In this article, we will look at how to
connect to a MySQL database in Python using
the `mysql-connector-python` library, which
is a MySQL driver for Python. We will also
cover some basic operations such as creating
tables, inserting data, and querying the
database.
# § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾
# ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ Checking_If_a_Command_Succeeded_in_Bash
Using_the_`$?`_Special_Variable⠀⇛
In Bash, it is often necessary to check if a
command succeeded or failed. For example, you
may want to execute different commands based
on the success or failure of a command, or
you may want to perform error handling in a
script. To check if a command succeeded or
failed in Bash, you can examine the exit
status of the command. The exit status of a
command is a numerical value that indicates
the success or failure of the command. A
command with an exit status of 0 indicates
success, and a command with a non-zero exit
status indicates failure.

o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ ESPHome_Powers_Festive_Lego_Train_Set⠀⇛
While the basic concept of LEGO bricks might have changed
little since the mid-20th century, some components such
as motors and sensors are still affected by technological
progress and end up obsolete and unsupported. [Travis]
ran into this problem when he was building a festive
train setup and realized he didn’t have the speed
controller to match his train engine. Without that part,
the engine would only run at full speed and derail as
soon as it hit a curve. The official speed controller had
been discontinued and was hard to find, so [Travis] had
to resort to building his own.
o ⚓ The Nation ☛ Braying_Through_History⠀⇛
Is it a paradox that the flashiest, wildest, most
heedless—in short, the most youthful—movie I saw this
past year would be EO, written and directed by Polish
octogenarian Jerzy Skolimowski? Perhaps not. Skolimowski
was a junior member of the Polish new wave, which broke
in the mid-1950s with Andrzej Wajda’s Kanal and Andrzej
Munk’s Eroica. Drafted at age 22 to doctor the script of
Wajda’s 1960 “youth film” Innocent Sorcerers, he
initiated his career as Polish cinema’s designated new-
generation spokesman. Now, at age 84 and still as willful
as a toddler, he has reworked one of the most revered
movies ever made, Robert Bresson’s 1966 Au Hasard
Balthazar.
o ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Cinema_Beyond_Cinemas:_the_Best_Films_of_2022⠀⇛
I came to Godard late, at least for him. By the time I
saw Band of Outsiders (in a double-bill with Breathless)
in 1977, JLG had already proclaimed the death of cinema
in the closing frames of Week-End. I had watched a lot of
movies by then and was smug enough to think I could
discern the difference between a “movie” and a “film.”
Watching Band of Outsiders, which came out 13 years
before I saw it for the first time, was like getting an
electric shock to the eyeballs. It had all the elements
of a familiar Hollywood movie, chopped apart, sped up,
slowed down and reassembled in a new, exhilarating order.
Godard opened the door to Renoir, Bergman, Fassbinder,
Rivette, Fellini, Kurosawa, Fuller, Wajda, Varda, Nick
Ray and Lang. (Still my own Pantheon, along with Howard
Hawks and Preston Sturges.)
I couldn’t get enough. I wanted to watch every film these
directors made and all the films by the directors who
influenced and were influenced by them. From 1977 to
1981, I watched 10 to 12 films a week (while carrying a
heavy reading load in my lit and history classes). I
raced from theater to theater, from DC to Baltimore. I
snuck into screenings for film studies classes at AU,
Georgetown, GW and Hopkins. I was obsessed. These weren’t
date nights–or when they were, there usually wasn’t a
second. Certainly not after sitting through 7.5 hours of
Hans-Jürgen Syberberg’s Hitler: a Film From Germany or
the 5-hour version of Bertolucci’s 1900. Who could blame
them, really?
o § Education⠀➾
# ⚓ [Old] Current Affairs ☛ The_Dangerous_Academic_is_an
Extinct_Species⠀⇛
Furthermore, the academics who produce those ideas
aren’t exactly at liberty to think and do as they
please. The overwhelming “adjunctification” of the
university has meant that approximately 76% of
professors… aren’t professors at all, but underpaid
and overworked adjuncts, lecturers, and assistants.
And while conditions for adjuncts are slowly
improving, especially through more widespread
unionization, their place in the university is
permanently unstable. This means that no adjunct
can afford to seriously offend. To make matters
worse, adjuncts rely heavily on student evaluations
to keep their positions, meaning that their
classrooms cannot be places to heavily contest or
challenge students’ politics. Instructors could
literally lose their jobs over even the appearance
of impropriety. One false step—a video seen as too
salacious, or a political opinion held as
oppressive—could be the end of a career. An adjunct
must always be docile and polite.
o § Hardware⠀➾
# ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Mouse_Enjoys_Its_Freedom⠀⇛
Although it took a little while to standardize on
the two-button-with-scroll-wheel setup, most
computers have used a mouse or mouse-like device to
point at objects on the screen since the 80s. But
beyond the standard “point and click” features of
the mouse, there have been very few ground-breaking
innovations beyond creature comforts. At least,
until the “Space Mushroom” mouse from [Shinsaku
Hiura] hit our tips line.
# ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Spinning_Holographic_POV_Christmas_Tree_Of
Death⠀⇛
[Sean Hodgins] really harnessed the holiday spirit
to create his very own Giant Spinning Holographic
Christmas Tree (of Death). It’s a three-dimensional
persistence-of-vision (POV) masterpiece, but as a
collection of rapidly spinning metal elements, it’s
potentially quite dangerous as well. As [Sean]
demonstrates, the system can display other images
and animations well beyond the realm of mere
holiday trees.
# ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Flexible,_Thin-Film_Biosensors⠀⇛
We like to keep a pulse on the latest biosensor

# ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Lo-Fi_Fun:_Beer_Can_Microphones⠀⇛
Sometimes, you just need an easy win, right? This
is one of those projects. A couple months back, I
was looking at my guitars and guitar accessories
and thought, it is finally time to do something
with the neck I’ve had lying around for years. In
trying to decide a suitable body for the slapdash
guitar I was about to build, I found myself at a
tractor supply store for LEGO-related reasons.
(Where else are you going to get a bunch of egg
cartons without eating a bunch of eggs?) I noticed
that they happened to also stock ammo boxes. Bam!
It’s sturdy, it opens easily, and it’s (very)
roughly guitar body shaped. I happily picked one up
and started scheming on the way home.

# ⚓ India Times ☛ US_House_bans_TikTok_on_all_House-managed

TikTok has faced growing concerns over national
security due to Chinese parent company ByteDance,
as per the CBS News report. US officials have
repeatedly said that the Chinese government could
ask the company to share the data it gathers on its
users.
Earlier in November, Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray said
that they have national security concerns,
including the possibility that the Chinese
government could use it to control data collection.

published Thursday.
# ⚓ CNN ☛ TikTok_may_push_potentially_harmful_content_to_teens
within_minutes,_study_finds⠀⇛
In a report published Wednesday, the non-profit
Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) found
that it can take less than three minutes after
signing up for a TikTok account to see content
related to suicide and about five more minutes to
find a community promoting eating disorder content.
The researchers said they set up eight new accounts
in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada
and Australia at TikTok’s minimum user age of 13.
These accounts briefly paused on and liked content
about body image and mental health. The CCDH said
the app recommended videos about body image and
mental health about every 39 seconds within a 30-
minute period.

The reference, which summons a famous Marxist maxim
about religion written in a specific historical

events to distract from political problems or
social conflicts.
He is partly right. Not only do governments invest
in sports as a form of distraction, but they also
often turn sports into a form of political
legitimization. While all governments play this
game, the US excels in it.
# ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ She_Says_Doctors_Ignored_Her_Concerns_About

Lying on her living room sofa, her head cradled
just under her husband’s shoulder, Brooke Smith
pulled out a pen and began marking up her medical
records.
Paging through the documents, she read a narrative
that did not match her experience, one in which she
said doctors failed to heed her concerns and nurses
misrepresented what she told them. In anticipation
of giving birth to her first child in the spring of
2014, Brooke had twice gone to the hospital in the
weeks leading up to her due date because she hadn’t
felt the baby kick, her medical records show. And
twice doctors had sent her back home.

# ⚓ The Nation ☛ The_Question⠀⇛
Ten doctors, a lawyer, a historian, and a
theologian walk into a Harvard conference room.
This isn’t the start of a bad joke, but the
beginning of a consequential decision—an attempt to
define death itself. Or at least to formulate a new
definition that reflected the advances in medicine
during the 1960s. For much of medical history
before then, “cardio-respiratory failure was the
only way to die.” But now ventilators could keep
someone’s heart beating even if they had no other
outward signs of life. This new medical technology
helped pave the way for innovations in organ
preservation and donation. It also meant that a new
way to understand death, legally and medically, was
needed. This is how the concept of “brain death”
entered the public record.

# ⚓ EFF ☛ Users_Worldwide_Said_“Stop_Scanning_Us”:_2022
in_Review⠀⇛
In 2022, we fought back against large-scale
attempts by governments to undermine secure
and private online speech. The U.S. Senate
introduced a new version of the toxically
unpopular EARN IT Act. This bill would push
companies to drop strong encryption by
threatening the removal of key legal
protections for websites and apps. EFF
supporters spoke up and this bill was stopped
in the Senate, again, although not before an
unfortunate committee vote that endorsed the
bill.
In the U.K., Parliament debated an Online
Safety Bill that would mandate tech providers
use “accredited software” to constantly scan
users for illegal material. And an even
larger threat emerged in the European Union,
where the European Parliament is debating a
regulation that could lead to mandatory
government scanning of every private message,
photo, and video.
All three of these proposals are pushed by
law enforcement agencies in their respective
jurisdictions, and they all have the same
reasoning: preventing child abuse. But
constant surveillance doesn’t keep adults or
kids safer. Minors also need to have private
conversations with trusted adults, not
devices with built-in backdoors.

When 27-year-old Senior Lieutenant Dmitry Vasilets
was sent to Ukraine last February, his superiors
only told him that he was going to take part in
some training maneuvers. He says he was shocked to
learn the truth — that Russia was launching a full-
scale invasion — but it would take five months for
him to get a 15-day leave of absence. Deeply
satisfied that he hadn’t killed anyone in his
months of service, Vasilets considered his future
and refused to return to the combat zone. “I had a
choice,” he says, “and I made it.” He now faces
felony charges and the prospect of prison time in
Russia under a new law that criminalizes
disobedience in the Russian military. Meduza
summarizes the case against Dmitry Vasilets, based
on a longer story published by Novaya Gazeta.
# ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Planning_for_War_Crimes_Trials_Post-Nuclear

The Nuremberg and Tokyo War Crimes trials give some
historical precedent for framing the process of
trying the War Criminals responsible for any
nuclear war, be they Presidents, Captains of
Nuclear Weapons Industries, Congresses, Dumas, or
even Judges enabling the crimes (the Justice
Trials). Taking the Ukraine conflict solely as a
“thought experiment” for considering a nuclear war,
assuming nuclear weapons were to be used where does
that leave the law?
In his book Einstein on Peace, Albert Einstein
opined on the Nuremberg Trials February 20, 1954:
# ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ The_Ukraine_Crisis_Is_a_Classic_“Security

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Kuleba proposed a “peace
summit” in February to be chaired by UN Secretary
General Guterres, but with the precondition that
Russia must first face prosecution for war crimes
in an international court. On the other side,
Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov issued a chilling
ultimatum that Ukraine must accept Russia’s terms
for peace or “the issue will be decided by the
Russian Army.”
But what if there were a way of understanding this
conflict and possible solutions that encompassed
the views of all sides and could take us beyond
one-sided narratives and proposals that serve only
to fuel and escalate the war? The crisis in Ukraine
is in fact a classic case of what International

Over thousands of years, wars have brought immense
suffering to people around the globe. In addition
to the widespread annihilation of human life, wars
have produced vast material losses, including the
destruction of homes, schools, hospitals, entire
cities, the environment, and much of what people
value as civilization. They have also channeled
enormous financial resources into military buildups
that, even if not employed in battle, deprive other
public and private programs of adequate attention
and funding. Also, since World War II, when nuclear
weapons were first developed and used with terrible
effect, the means of waging war have entered a new
dimension, giving it the power to destroy virtually
all life on earth.
Although, in recent centuries, many people have
lamented war’s squandering of blood and treasure,
as well as the suicidal nature of modern war, they
have not yet found an effective way to stop it.

While headlines proclaim the “deadly cold,” the
reality is these temperatures were not particularly
considered out of the ordinary in Montana’s past.
And despite the inconvenience to our human
endeavors, one silver lining in the frigid cloud is
the demise of pine bark beetles that have rapidly
multiplied in the shorter, warmer winters and early
springs.
As reported in a recent article on Canada’s Jasper
National Park, Mother Nature has pretty much wiped
out the pine beetle populations by sending her
Arctic fingers south. Dave Argument, the resource
conservation officer for Parks Canada put it this
way: “It’s probably been in the last three winters
where we’ve had really good winter conditions that
have killed those overwintering larvae to the point
where now, this year’s survey — no larvae found
whatsoever. Not a single living larva was found.”

Christmas day, 2022, the streets were exceptionally
quiet. With a temperature around 75 degrees
Fahrenheit and a refreshing breeze, I was in

combination of heat and modestly cold air.
This dream bike ride remained a pleasure for its

trouble. This was the heart of winter, December 25,
2022. Shouldn’t winter be winter? What happened to
cold, nay snow or rain? My white roses were out in
their summer best, their aroma delicious. My fig

had become an interlocking network of connecting
stems and green leaves in the shape of spheres.
Soon, I noticed tiny fruit being formed with
exuberant pink blossoms.

# ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Nuclear_Fusion: _Don’t_Believe_the
Hype!⠀⇛
While most honest writers have at least
acknowledged the obstacles to commercially-
scaled fusion, they typically still
underestimate them – as much so today as back
in the 1980s. We are told that a fusion
reaction would have to occur “many times a
second” to produce usable amounts of energy.
But the blast of energy from the LBL fusion
reactor actually only lasted one tenth of a
nanosecond – that’s a ten-billionth of a
second. Apparently other fusion reactions
(with a net energy loss) have operated for a
few nanoseconds, but reproducing this
reaction over a billion times every second is
far beyond what researchers are even
contemplating.
We are told that the reactor produced about
1.5 times the amount of energy that was
input, but this only counts the laser energy
that actually struck the reactor vessel.
That energy, which is necessary to generate
temperatures over a hundred million degrees,
was the product of an array of 192 high-
powered lasers, which required well over 100
times as much energy to operate. Third, we
are told that nuclear fusion will someday
free up vast areas of land that are currently
needed to operate solar and wind power
installations. But the entire facility needed
to house the 192 lasers and all the other
necessary control equipment was large enough
to contain three football fields, even though
the actual fusion reaction takes place in a
gold or diamond vessel smaller than a pea.
All this just to generate the equivalent of
about 10-20 minutes of energy that is used by
a typical small home. Clearly, even the most
inexpensive rooftop solar systems can already
do far more. And Prof. Mark Jacobson’s group
at Stanford University has calculated that a
total conversion to wind, water and solar
power might use about as much land as is
currently occupied by the world’s fossil fuel
infrastructure.

I covered developments related to the rapidly

industries, like new facilities that came
online this year and rely on fracking new
wells to supply the growing demand for
natural gas, which is mostly methane. I also
documented the construction of projects
related to these industries and the public
meetings for polluting projects proposed but
not yet built — that if approved will
contribute to global warming and intensify
the climate crisis. Industries reliant on
methane gas continue to expand their
footprint, despite bipartisan discussions
about the need to develop climate solutions.

Re “Russia Hating,” by David Bromwich [November 14/
21]: We are once more, in the name of democracy,
supporting a leadership that suppresses dissent.
Even worse, it prevents public workers from
speaking Russian in Donetsk and Luhansk and ignores
the history of the Azov Battalion and the
assassination of questioning mayors. I am ashamed
of my fellow progressives and a liberal media that
almost unanimously censures all less-than-eager
support of Ukraine as another multibillion dollars
goes mostly to our own defense contractors. The
publication of Bromwich’s critique of the media’s
uncritical support for the war in Ukraine is the
beginning, I hope, of a needed reappraisal of
exactly what we are doing, again, in another war on
the far side of the world. I hope The Nation leads

was that patent holders could get two totally

dubious patents. They could go to court, of
course, by filing a patent lawsuit. But they
could also go to the International Trade
Commission, claiming infringement, and if the
ITC agreed, it could ban the import of
products it claimed was covered by that
patent. While the ITC couldn’t force a
company to pay fees for infringement like a
federal court could, it was effectively just
as bad, because once an import ban was in
place (since most products are manufactured
outside the US), the companies would be
forced to negotiate a huge settlement just to
keep their business going.
