Summary: The above LibrePlanet talk by Joseph Turner was_uploaded_by_the_FSF 5
days ago (slides_here; PeerTube_link); From the official page: “The ushin
project explores Org mode for peer-to-peer deliberation. Ushin offers the seven
shapes (or kinds of meaning) deliberative structure for mutual understanding by
distinguishing facts, feelings, needs, thoughts, topics, actions, and people.
When communicating over the hyperdrive peer-to-peer network, you have full
control over your data. With no central authority to censor “misinformation,”
decision-making power is distributed. A subjective moderation system inspired
by TrustNet makes it easy to find sources of information you can trust. Org
mode is already an effective tool for organizing personal knowledge, and we
want to use it to deliberate collective issues. Ushin combines these ideas into
a fun and easy-to-use plain-text system for discussing important issues free of
censorship, bots, and trolls through community curation.”

Sirius in 2022
Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0
http://techrights.org/videos/sirius-fantasy.webm
Summary: A look back at what happened in Sirius_‘Open_Source’ last year
THE last year of Sirius (CEO left already) is easy to recall in light of an old
recording of a 2-hour meeting. After the company had secretly_plundered_its_own
staff it was desperately chasing clients while abusing and underpaying staff,
as we explained before.
In the name of “cost savings” (nope!) it adopted “clown computing” and then it
let go of a physical office. It was changing servers by getting rid of its own.
Everything it had left was a virtual asset… there were no physical assets left.
Such facts have been mentioned since, even in the meeting, which brought up
potential clients. It’s worth noting that these clients never became actual
clients of Sirius and the company was trying to rebrand or reinvent itself as
SiriUS (it was pronounced Sir… US).
“That the company secretly plundered members of staff is something that wasn’t
confirmed until this year. Now we work towards accountability
(prosecution).”The manager who left last month was basically reporting to
staff, showing his graph presentation while talking about sales, engineering,
infrastructure, outsourcing, support, projects etc. Of course it all become a
complete disaster. Almost an hour in he was summarising the re-infrastructuring
process — something that never happened.
I first considered leaving the company in 2019 (after the likely illegal
contract-signing, then the NDA and the bullying), but last year I was already
sure I’d leave. That the company secretly plundered members of staff is
something that wasn’t confirmed until this year. Now we work towards
accountability (prosecution). █

Hi list,
I'd like to announce mesa 23.0.3. I've been working
back through the
list of commits that needed a little bit of work to
apply cleanly, and
that's starting to come through here, so there are
some more patches
than we'd usually see at this point. The good news
is that the changes
are all across the tree, with no one subsystem
seeing too many changes.
Cheers,
Dylan

# ⚓ DebugPoint ☛ QEMU_8.0.0_Released_with_New_Features_and
Improvements_for_Multiple_Architectures⠀⇛
QEMU, the popular emulator and virtualization tool,
has just released version 8.0.0, featuring over
2800 commits from 238 authors. This release
introduces a wide range of improvements and new
features across multiple architectures.
Here’s what’s new.
# ⚓ LibreBoot ☛ Libreboot_–_Libreboot_20230423_released!⠀⇛
Libreboot provides boot firmware for supported x86/
ARM machines, starting a bootloader that then loads
your operating system. It replaces proprietary
BIOS/UEFI firmware on x86 machines, and provides an
improved configuration on ARM-based chromebooks
supported (U-Boot bootloader, instead of Google’s
depthcharge bootloader). On x86 machines, the GRUB
and SeaBIOS coreboot payloads are officially
supported, provided in varying configurations per
machine. You can find the list of supported
hardware in the Libreboot documentation.
The last Libreboot release, version 20230413, was
released on 13 April in 2023. This new release,
Libreboot 20230423, is released today on April
23rd, 2023.
This is marked as a testing release, though it is
basically stable. We’ve been going at it like
crazy, on a big spree adding more mainboards from
coreboot. Some fixes to the build system were also
made, since the last release only 10 days ago.
The priority for Libreboot is to add as many new
boards as possible, from now to the next stable
release (ETA Q3 2023), with many testing releases
in between. Release early, release often. Rigorious
testing ensues.

System, such as deploying a Local Server/domain.
Also, having a more meaningful hostname allows your
PC to be easily accessed instead of using its IP
Address. Whatever the case is.

new to this, however, I had to recently configure a
similar interface-to-vlan layout in this new
section. It is now listed under the interface
bridge configuration page but it has the similar
table layout with the same set of options. For
example, one LAN port as a vlan access port
(untagged) and two LAN ports as vlan trunk ports
(tagged) both carrying two separate vlan-networks.

You have a job. You work, and you earn money. Whatever
your position is, you make a living each day. However,
jobs are not a viable construct, and the notion that we
will earn our living in the future through an employer-
employee relationship is destined for economic oblivion.
The pandemic has jarred us all and has forced us to
change in ways unthinkable. The norm now includes masks,
quarantines, sanitizers, and social distancing. Webcams,
online school, and working from home are becoming
commonplace in the workplace. Either way, it is safe to
say we are all heading toward job extinction. One woman
recently posted a TikTok stating that she believes we are
at “the death of careers.”

sought to roll back Food and Drug Administration approval
of the drug, mifepristone. Lower courts had said that
women seeking the drug should face more restrictions on
getting it while the case continues, but the Supreme
Court disagreed. The court’s action almost certainly will
leave access to mifepristone unchanged at least into next
year, as appeals play out, including a potential appeal
to the high court.

The fiftieth day of that summer had come. The wee
fellowship had already went through the eastern
side of the Holy Borders into a region of raids and
battles, where few ventured, and fewer still made
their abode. Paladins had not ventured here in
three peaceful years, for the orcs beyond the
mountain had not yet recovered from their last
defeats. You might expect the odd forester who
counted the woods as its home. Rena could relate,
though her forest home was far away in the north,
orcs were as close too, and though trees and bushes
differ, their souls were just as wise. Harder
still, despite the stories, would be to find some
criminal hiding there in the woods. No, for those,
as a last resort, would favor sewers and decrepit
houses where justice would be shy to enter.

# ⚓ Seasonality⠀⇛
A teacher once put two of us to the board; the task
was to assign the months to the seasons. My
thinking went along the lines of “December is
pretty cold, that must be winter, therefore winter
is December, January, and February.” Years later I
came to understand that for some spring is defined
as starting on the equinox; from that one might
derive April, May, and June. This could be a
rounding error; one could easily truncate down
instead of rounding up. Neither of these triads
were very good; we were being taught the Orthodox
American System somewhere the seasons ran to three.
# ⚓ Up_and_down⠀⇛
The weather this last week was really all over the
place. Thursday and Friday
were summer days: 30c / 86f. Wearing long sleeves
was really hot, and I had to
use a fan in the evening. Yesterday the temperature
dipped again and it was
cold and grey. Today the sun came out and it went
back to being hot again.
A few days ago I watched -From Noob To Power User
With Manjaro KDE- [1] and
I followed the video and installed it myself. I
know zilch about Arch/Manjaro,
but Konsole looks really nice, as does the sweet
theme with candy icons. I had
a devil of a time getting jpilot (with pilot-link)
to install, and even then I
wasn’t able to get hotsync to work, but I’ll try
again at a later date.

o § Applications⠀➾
# ⚓ Linux Links ☛ 8_Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Steganography
Tools⠀⇛
Hiding messages is not new. Before the digital age,
messages were hidden with invisible ink, subtle
indentations in paper, messages written in Morse
code that are knitted into an item of clothing, and
even tattooing messages under the hair of
messengers.
Ideally, the original message is not noticeably
degraded by presence of a hidden message. As a
result, the most effective techniques tend to make
use of data that contains a lot of redundancy, such
as raw audio and image files. Steganography works
much less effectively, if at all, with efficient
compressed formats such as JPEG.
We recommend the following steganography tools
captured in a LinuxLinks-style ratings chart. All
the software is free and open source goodness.
# ⚓ Neowin ☛ OpenShot_Video_Editor_3.1.1⠀⇛
OpenShot Video Editor is a free, open-source video
editor licensed under the GPL version 3.0. OpenShot
can take your videos, photos, and music files and
help you create the film you have always dreamed
of. Easily add sub-titles, transitions, and
effects, and then export your film to DVD, YouTube,
Vimeo, Xbox 360, and many other common formats.
What really sets OpenShot apart from other video
editors is the easy-to-use user interface.
OpenShot has many great features, such as trimming
and arranging videos, adjusting audio levels,
transitions between videos, compositing multiple
layers of video, chroma-key / green screen effect,
and support of most formats and codecs.

Now it is the turn of JWMDesk, Roger’s superb JWM
window manager. Which I have kept, instead just cut
it down to be only a JWM manager. JWMDesk does a
whole lot more than just configure JWM, whereas I
want each tool to have one purpose only.

# ⚓ How_to_install_Apache2_in_AWS_Ec2_Ubuntu_Linux⠀⇛
Apache is one of the most reliable web server
software powering millions of hosting servers to
run various types of websites. Apache2 is the
second version of the Apache HTTP server and is
available for all the major operating systems such
– as Windows, macOS, and Linux. One of the reasons,
why the Apache web server is still active and used
by millions of people around the globe for a very
long time is its support for various programming
languages such as PHP, Perl, and Python; and its
capability to serve static and dynamic web pages.
Apache2 is also highly configurable, therefore
developers can use it to customize the server’s
behavior and performance to meet their specific
needs.
# ⚓ How_to_create_a_Ubuntu_Linux_AWS_ec2_Instance_on_Amazon
Cloud⠀⇛
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a popular
computing service that allows users to create a
virtual machine using various available Linux and
applications Images. It is provided by Amazon Cloud
with a complete infrastructure to host commercial
applications on Linux virtual machines. In short,
it is a Cloud service to create virtual servers.
The interface of AWS is easy to manage that’s why
even a new user with some technical knowledge can
easily create an EC2 instance and configure it with
prefer an operating system, hardware configuration,
and required software packages. Depending upon the
needs users can launch, terminate, and manage
instances and even can scale up or down as demand
changes.
Users will charge on an hourly basis for an Ec2
Instance which further depends upon the instance
type, usage duration, and data transfer. To cater
to different kinds of users’ requirements Amazon
Cloud offers a variety of instance types each
optimized for different types of workloads and
hardware configurations, such as compute-intensive
or memory-intensive applications.
# ⚓ Hackaday ☛ User_Mode_Linux_|_Hackaday⠀⇛
An old joke is that Emacs is a text editor with an
operating system included, given that its
extensibility and customization often goes far
beyond traditional text editors. Part of its well-
earned reputation comes from being built in Lisp
which allows it to be expanded to do almost
anything. Despite this in-joke in the community,
though, you will still need an actual operating
system to run it, but not much more than that.
This project uses User-Mode Linux (UML) as a
foundation to load almost nothing other than an
Emacs editor. UML is a virtualization technology
that allows running multiple Linux kernel instances
as separate virtual machines, so once the Linux
environment is started and Emacs is compiled, the
virtual machine can essentially boot straight into
an Emacs environment. Some tools are needed outside
of the Linux kernel like mount which allows the
virtual file system to access the files needed to
build Emacs, but as far as lightweight or
minimalist Linux distributions go this one
definitely gets at least an honorable mention.
* § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾
o ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ blendOS_2_Is_Already_Here_and_Supports_Android_Apps
Out-of-the-Box⠀⇛
When I first looked at blendOS, the distro promised a
blend of Arch Linux, Fedora Linux, and Ubuntu, but now
blendOS 2 is already here and it promises more than that,
such as out-of-the-box support for Android apps.
The Android app support implementation inside blendOS 2
is possible thanks to the WayDroid project, an open-
source container-based solution for running the full
Android operating system inside your Linux box.
o ⚓ Beta News ☛ Manjaro_Linux_22.1_‘Talos’_is_here_with_updates_for
GNOME,_KDE_Plasma,_and_Xfce⠀⇛
Weight-loss drug Mounjaro is all the rage these days,
helping people to shed pounds. Please don’t confuse this
medication with the similarly named “Manjaro” Linux-based
operating system. While Mounjaro helps you lose weight,
Manjaro can help you lose Windows!
Today, Manjaro Linux 22.1 is released. Code-named
“Talos,” it is chock-full of new features. Once again,
this version of the distribution can be had with your
choice of three desktop environments — GNOME, KDE Plasma,
and Xfce.
One of the highlights of Talos is the GNOME edition,
which boasts several updates to the GNOME 43 series. This
includes fixes and polish that were missing when GNOME 43
was initially released in September 2022. Users can find
detailed changes made to each point-release on the
Manjaro website.
The redesigned system status menu is one of the most
noticeable changes in GNOME 43. This feature allows users
to quickly change commonly used settings without having
to dig through menus. Users can now see the status of
their settings at a glance, thanks to the new design.

# ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Users_Are_Worried:_What’s_Going_On_with
SolusOS⠀⇛
Solus is a fully-fledged, independent rolling
release Linux distribution targeted at desktop
users. It is unique because it is written from
scratch and has its repositories and package
manager, EOPKG. In addition, the distro is
traditionally associated with Budgie as its
flagship desktop environment.
While receiving less attention than other leading
desktop-oriented Linux distros such as Ubuntu,
Fedora, Linux Mint, and others, Solus has a devoted
fan base concerned about what has been happening to
their favorite distro in the last month. Here’s
what it is all about.
# ⚓ It’s FOSS ☛ Solus_Linux_Goes_Through_Yet_Another_Shake_Up;
to_be_Rebased_on_SerpentOS⠀⇛
Every Linux distro goes through at lest one big
change at some point in its life span. However,
there is one distro that seems to keep encountering
major turmoil and changes on a regular basis. Let’s
look at the latest news coming from Solus.
There are approximately six billion Linux distros
(or so it seems). Most of them are reskins of
Ubuntu or Arch, with at least one new feature added
or highlighted. I can count on one hand the number
of distros that are actually built from scratch.
Solus is one of them.
According to Solus’ website, “Solus is built from
scratch to ensure every tweak, configuration, and
optimization enables the delivery of a singular,
cohesive desktop experience.” All the important
system tools, from the build tools to the package
manager, have been built from scratch. They even
created their own desktop environment named Budgie.
(Budgie had since been spun off to be an
independent project.)

GNU Parallel – For people who live life in the
parallel lane.
If you like GNU Parallel record a video
testimonial: Say who you are, what you use GNU
Parallel for, how it helps you, and what you like
most about it. Include a command that uses GNU
Parallel if you feel like it.
About GNU Parallel
GNU Parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in
parallel using one or more computers. A job can be
a single command or a small script that has to be
run for each of the lines in the input. The typical
input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list
of users, a list of URLs, or a list of tables. A
job can also be a command that reads from a pipe.
GNU Parallel can then split the input and pipe it
into commands in parallel.
If you use xargs and tee today you will find GNU
Parallel very easy to use as GNU Parallel is
written to have the same options as xargs. If you
write loops in shell, you will find GNU Parallel
may be able to replace most of the loops and make
them run faster by running several jobs in
parallel. GNU Parallel can even replace nested
loops.
GNU Parallel makes sure output from the commands is
the same output as you would get had you run the
commands sequentially. This makes it possible to
use output from GNU Parallel as input for other
programs.
For example you can run this to convert all jpeg

GNU sql aims to give a simple, unified interface
for accessing databases through all the different
databases’ command line clients. So far the focus
has been on giving a common way to specify login
information (protocol, username, password,
hostname, and port number), size (database and
table size), and running queries.
The database is addressed using a DBURL. If
commands are left out you will get that database’s
interactive shell.

Accessing Different Databases Using DBURLs, ;login:

About GNU Niceload
GNU niceload slows down a program when the computer
load average (or other system activity) is above a
certain limit. When the limit is reached the
program will be suspended for some time. If the
limit is a soft limit the program will be allowed
to run for short amounts of time before being
suspended again. If the limit is a hard limit the
program will only be allowed to run when the system
is below the limit.

not reply to this site’s inquiry of March 11. In a

indicated it was “aware of the allegations” but
declined to comment further while the company was
investigating. DataBreaches sent Medminder a second

Strange. I have been miserable for months. Badly at
the start of 2023. Still 1/3 of that.
Oddly, I get a perception that my neighbors are
equally as miserable.
No reason for them to NOT be. They’re loners/no
one’s, like me, and I am scurrying down to
Farmington Missouri in June, bless, so I won’t have
this disposition. Rehab (alcohol) ma happen in that
time, too. Overdue.

Good tea (jin jun mei, milk silk oolong). A
beautiful cow paces your bike down a country
lane. Give a child structure & space to be a
child; catch the child using it well. Unexpect-

tower above Kentucky River. Nap during demand-
ing day. Mailed letter arrives. Surprised laugh
at quick wit, apt retort. Stop to reflect after
doing something hard, especially with people.
# ⚓ I_made_a_Soroban⠀⇛
I spent a couple of hours today with a small
woodsaw and my powerdrill to finally make a Soroban
that I had planned to build for a while now. It
consists of simple soft wood for the frame, wooden
beads and brass rods for the beads to slide on.
For those curious: The brass rods are 2mm thick and
12mm apart. The beads are 10mm diameter with a 3mm
hole. The wood for the top and bottom beams are
10x15mm, the middle beam is 10x2mm.

I updated my Gopherhole a bit. I added a new
article to my /Gopher
Novice/ series. It’s about zines because I
had thought that there were
absent on the 90′s Gophersphere. And it was
wrong. As I’ve seen on
[Directory of Electronic Journals,
Newsletters, and Academic
Discussion Lists, Tom 4] there was a
significant increase in
publications of that type. And many of them
were published on
Gophersphere then.
