Posted in Deception, Free/Libre_Software, GNU/Linux, Google, Microsoft,

Summary: Online bullying in social_control_media and even in IRC (our_network
has been trolled a lot lately) is a serious issue; to make matters worse, the
CoC system has been weaponised by trolls to silence and intimidate critics of
unethical corporations (habitually employing those trolls on 6-digit if not 7-
figure salaries)
MORE than 3 years ago we cautioned that the Linux_Foundation's_Linux_Kernel
Code_of_Conduct_(CoC)Committee_had_become"Officially_Corporate". It’s all
about one thing: censorship. Who for? Check the members of the Code of Conduct
(CoC) Committee. They’re the cops, not to mention the judge, the witness, and
the jury (the phrase is often “judge, jury, executioner”; but they’re also the
cops/vigilante on the scene). They’d also process the appeals if any are
registered. This is lynching, not a system of justice, and salaries peripheral
to the role govern who is punished and what for. Those committees aren’t full-
time jobs. They’re for corporate lynch mobs to crucify communities.
“What the Linux Foundation does with CoCs is still relevant, albeit buried
under Easter holidays (because it’s embarrassing; people file complaints for
‘insulting’ companies)”If the so-called ‘Linux’ Foundation wants not to be seen
as a_"Microsoft_proxy" anymore, then the answer is simple: just quit being a
Microsoft proxy like the Open Source Initiative (OSI) still is. It should be
noted that the OSI never quit being a Microsoft proxy. More time passes and the
OSI falls deeper and deeper into Microsoft’s hands, just like the ‘Linux’
Foundation. Friend brings a friend, mole brings another mole. “Shooting the
messenger” tactics won’t help when the message is factual and clearly
demonstrable, based on hard evidence; for instance, beware trolls saying/
insinuating/alleging that someone is sexist and pro-rape (or choosing moles who
are female so that critics may seem sexist) based on no actual evidence. We’ve
already seen Microsoft’s dangerous (he claims he’s seeking professional help
for that) likely homophobe and closeted_transphobe Matthew Garrett defaming
countless_people_online. That’s just_what_he_does. He also sabotages BSD and
Linux (along with his Microsoft “online friend”, Microsoft's_serial_child
rapist who spent years painting Garrett as a security guru*, which he_clearly
wasn’t; he never was**). The targets are quite consistent — notably people who
criticised his corporate masters. He’s a white heterosexual male who uses trans
people as political props and sex objects of his (many trans people see through
his facade and abhor him for that; they told us so in private), hoping that
someone deposits a CoC complaint after generating phony scandals to cause
uproar — all this just to ‘cancel’ critics and even send_them_to_therapists
against_their_will_(blackmailed_into_it_as_a_condition_for_returning_to_their
own_project). “CoCs are for selective enforcement,” one person recalls, based
on real-life scenarios. “See the_SouthEast_Linux_Fest_analysis from some years
ago.”
What the Linux_Foundation does with CoCs is still relevant, albeit_buried_under
Easter_holidays (because it’s embarrassing; people file complaints for
‘insulting’ companies). █
Garrett’s monopoly-enforcing sabotage (protecting Microsoft) as ‘security’ —
clearly the opposite of what that truly was. Microsoft and its media operatives
generally groomed Garrett for over a decade and offered_him_a_job.
of a lack of background check/verification. He’s not even suitably educated nor
trained for security. No Computer Science or Software Engineering background,
either. I cannot pretend to be a General Practitioner (GP) and “learn along the
way” as I try to treat patients. Then again, as Richard_Stallman_(RMS)_noted
earlier_this_month_in_Italy, maybe the goal is to conflate_a_lack_of_security
(back/bug doors) with “security”. Qualifications do matter and appointing the
wrong people results in planned failure, even cover-up. But if corporations are
willing to offer "shortcuts"_to_back_scammers_and_charlatans (pretenders,
phonies, imposters), anything is possible. Compensating for an existing role’s
inadequacy using a similar past role is a ‘credibility-chaining’ scandal we’ve
already seen with Bully de Blanc. Sometimes it boils down to overt nepotism or
entryism, even a sexual relationship (we gave examples from Sirius_‘Open
Source’). Scrutiny typically results in immense abuse. One common tactic there
is trolling and defaming people in their own platform, provoking them
constantly for a reply, then asserting they’re being “mean” and/or “impolite”.
This one troll has stalked us 24/7 in IRC for several years already, perhaps
even doxing my wife and I to our workplace (it’s hard to definitively prove
this because his partner is a Tor person; either way, a crime was exposed as a
result).

“False accusations are made to distract from the core issues,” an associate has
noted, “and deflect onto those raising the issues.” [1, 2].
The associate notes that “credibly accused” nowadays means “social control
media death sentence by brigading” (boosted by deep-pocketed corporations with
legions of foot soldiers online).
The video above starts with the example_of_RMS, though many other examples
exist.

Protocol_Spread⠀✐
Posted in Free/Libre_Software, Protocol at 2:27 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: People who used the Internet before are still on the Internet but not
necessarily on the Web; we’ve seen growth_in_the_number_of_Gemini_users (this
month has been the best so far) and if more people reject “apps” — not the same
as HTTP/S — perhaps we can move technology in a healthier direction
FOR those who don’t pay much attention to Internet gossip, Reddit is in trouble
and its CEO is spamming people (via E-mail) together with NPR, trying hard to
control the narrative/story about what’s happening. Yesterday he_was_linked_to
Musk, which is a total disaster. In addition, this past week there were stories
such as these:
* ⚓ Reddit_Blackouts_Impact_Music_Communities_Online_—_CEO_Not_Backing
Down⠀⇛
* ⚓ Reddit_Blackuut:_What,_Why_and_How_It_is_Impacting_Users⠀⇛
* ⚓ Reddit:_users_boycott_to_force_platform_to_scrap_plans_to_charge_for
access,_company_won’t_budge⠀⇛
* ⚓ The_Reddit_Protest_Is_a_Battle_for_the_Soul_of_the_Human_Internet⠀⇛
Yesterday in IRC Alexei said, “Both Steve Huffman and Elon Musk must be
reaffirmed by Volodymyr Saldo when he was in Nova Kakhovka standing next to a
flooded theatre and saying on camera that people are walking, driving and
working just fine. Saldo was filmed on June 6th of course.”
“Are some more Reddit ‘clones’ on their way? Based on Gemini protocol
alone?”From what we can gather, Reddit will never be the same again. Many
users, not only moderators (slaves/volunteer staff) left permanently. Some of
them ended up in Gemini. They say so themselves. There are some “hello world”
posts.
Is the collapse of Reddit helping Gemini grow_so_much_faster_this_month? In the
first 20 days of June the number of active capsules seen by Lupa rose by about
50, compared to about 400 in the past year combined (i.e. about 33.3 per 30
days).
Geminispace already has stuff that’s similar to Reddit, e.g. Geddit, some stuff
from acidus (“Ask” seems to be offline at the moment), and more recently BBS,
formerly geminispace.org (there’s a controversy behind the name). Here are some
screenshots:

There are more such capsules, some permanent and some temporary/experimental.
Are some more Reddit ‘clones’ on their way? Based on Gemini protocol alone? █

Summary: Rupert Murdoch’s media empire keeps promoting TikTok trash [1, 2]
every single day this year (New York Post does about 2 “stories” based on
TikTok per day — sometimes a lot more — and the above is a new example); we
need to get people focused on information, not gossip and tabloid trash;
society is paralysed when people reject journalism, stuck in outage cycles that
are manufactured by the rich (averting class issues while billionaires pander
to “woke”/”non-woke”, i.e. culture wars and mutually-harmful infighting)

✐ ‘Linux’_Foundation_Increases_Number_of_Microsoft_Employees_in_the_Board_of
Directors_to_THREE,the_Only_Geek_in_the_Board_Has_Left(or_Got_Removed)⠀✐
Posted in GNU/Linux, Kernel, Microsoft at 3:56 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
This shown-below ‘page’ — like their Web site in general — also stopped being a
Web page; it’s a JavaScript “app” now, instead (they don’t care about
accessibility or disabled people, but they say “DEI” a lot):
🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽⦇Microsoft_increasingly_controlling_Linux_Foundation⦈_
Summary: The Linux_Foundation is gradually becoming a shadow of Microsoft, just
like the Open Source Initiative, where most of the money comes from Microsoft
and the official blog promotes Microsoft, its proprietary software, and
Microsoft’s side in a class action lawsuit over GPL_violations_(with_9_billion
dollars_in_damages_at_stake). So it all started with one Board member after the
“Microsoft loves Linux” PR charade (money passed to Jim Zemlin, who gives_talks
at_Microsoft and is ‘married’ to Microsoft*); then it became two (more money
paid for the second seat; the Linux Foundation openly advertises that Board
seats are up for sale with upper bound of 2) and now it’s three through the
loophole (subsidiary_to_evade_membership_limits_being_exceeded,_just_like_at
the_OSI_and_Redmonk). It’s like a completely covert takeover in slow motion and
the “AT-LARGE DIRECTOR” is also a Microsoft employee (all 3 are female, so
talking about this hostile act of entryism will get baited as being sexist**);
Mr. Mason is no longer there, so no geeks or Linux developers left in the Board
(it’s just ‘suits’ and corporate actors). As a reminder, Microsoft is also in
the Technical_Advisory_Board_of_the_Linux_Foundation and its current_Board
members_keep_pushing_for_Linux_to_be_outsourced_to_Microsoft's_GitHub despite
being fiercely anti-GPL (the licence of Linux), totally proprietary, and having
already had two rounds of layoffs this year [1, 2]. It’s not like Microsoft is
even the sole problem in that board***.
associate note, “apparently by Zemlin's_design” (his_wife_is_professionally
connected_to_Microsoft and nobody talks about this glaring conflict of interest
and even elaborate fraud [1, 2, 3])
become an organisation that represents its members’ interests within the kernel
rather than actually promoting and advancing Linux in the world.” A few years
ago the OSI’s cofounder Bruce Perens, who was also the second Debian Project
Leader (the first one, the founder of Debian, was the LF’s first CTO), said
that_the_“Linux_Foundation_is_an_infringer's_club.” (Alluding to the GPL)
Judging by the companies shown above, the LF is GPL-hostile (it has not chosen
this licence for any project for ages) and it ought to be clear that it had
become a GPL infringers’ club due to companies that wanted copyleft to die (but
could not change the licence of Linux, only pressure Linus Torvalds to reject
GPLv3 after a campaign of lobbying). “Many of the board members represent
Microsoft partners,” the associate adds, “so the damage from Microsoft is more
than just the three moles.”

Straining RSS Feeds
Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0
http://techrights.org/videos/chaff-in-the-news-tackled.webm
Summary: We’re still developing better tools for finding and clustering/
grouping news from the World Wide Web, seeing that the Web rapidly deteriorates
and there’s no way to ameliorate this other than swallowing thousands of RSS
feeds, then straining them for the actual signal (meaningful and important
news, not hearsay/gossip)
THE VIDEO above discusses the deterioration of the media, especially in the
signal-to-noise_ratio_sense. We wrote_about_it_yesterday (also_here) because
the alarming rate of decline (in signal) means that “harvesting” the important
news or curating what actually matters will be getting harder. Even news about
GNU/Linux became rather scarce. The video covers some new and old rants about
what Phoronix became. In days of slow news there’s even promotion of Microsoft
junk, GitHub stuff, and various hardware products which are proprietary and
patented, albeit spun as “community”.
“The Web is rapidly becoming a junkyard and graveyard. Sites turn into mostly
junk or go offline.”Some time next week we hope to do more proper coverage of
ways to scan the news, via RSS feeds, with additional annotation that aids
discovery, classification and so on. Without a lot of editing and human
intervention it’s possible that over 80% of what’s new on the Web can be deemed
junk. The Web is rapidly becoming a junkyard and graveyard. Sites turn into
mostly junk or go offline. █

o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾
# ⚓ for_jan_wentolin,⠀⇛
It’s funny – even when I’m sitting down to write
you a letter like this, I find myself wanting to
say the same things I always say to you: that I
love you, and I love you, and that your heart is
the size of day, and that I love you, saying these
words again and again, ibidem, ibidem, until the
words are no longer enough.
o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾
# ⚓ Why_one_would_use_Qubes_OS?⠀⇛
Hello, I’ve been talking a lot about Qubes OS
lately but I never explained why I got hooked to
its offer. It’s time to tell why I like it.
# ⚓ Scarlet_Heroes_Character_Creation_Thoughts⠀⇛
After looking through a lot of OSR systems, I
finally settled on trying out Scarlet Heroes. It
looked like it offers the best balance between what
I wanted out of a system.
For the first game, I am a player, and someone else
kind enough to be the GM. It’s going to be a duet
game, which Scarlet Heroes is designed for. The
first step for me in this is to create a character.
# § Internet/Gemini⠀➾
# ⚓ Bubble_v5.0:_Comment_View,_Index_of_Posts,_Time
Zones,_Certificate_Recovery⠀⇛
Bubble version 5 introduces several new
features. Some improve basic usability and
some are smaller things that have been
missing from the start. All of these have
been informed by the experience of using BBS
over the past weeks.
# ⚓ Four_years_of_Gemini!⠀⇛
Today is the fourth anniversary of the public
announcement of Project Gemini. I promise
that nobody, not a soul, is more surprised
than I am that an average of one hundred
thousand working Gemini URIs have appeared
per year since that announcement. I’m more
grateful than I can convey that so many
people have responded so positively and
energetically to the idea of a smaller,
simpler, saner online space, and I continue
to regularly feel worse than I probably
should that I didn’t do a better job of
handling that response.
# ⚓ Bootstrapping⠀⇛
A few posts ago I wrote that ads on Gemini
“could never happen”.
# ⚓ New_Feature:_Capsule_Health_Report⠀⇛
For any URLs that do have a problem, you can
click on the URL and get a list of the
inbound links to that page. Personally I’ve
used this fix internal links that are broken,
links that I’ve typo-ed by mistake, and even
to put redirects in place to correct old,
inbound links to pages that have moved.
To use it, go to Kennedy, select the Capsule
Health Report, and enter the domain name of a
capsule.
# ⚓ De-federating_P92⠀⇛
Facebook (“Meta”) is launching a Twitter
alternative that will interoperate with the
Fediverse, currently codenamed “Barcelona”
and “P92″ (and likely to be known as
“Threads”). We don’t know the extent to which
this will or won’t interoperate; admins
who’ve met with Facebook/Meta employees to
discuss P92 have signed non-disclosure
agreements. Most discussion can be framed in
two ways:
1. Whether P92 in particular is worth
defederating from, should it involve an
ActivityPub server.
2. Whether Facebook/Meta projects in
principle would be worth proactively
blocking, should they attempt to interoperate
with a Fediverse instance.
I’m going to focus on the latter topic, as we
know little about the former.
# ⚓ Introductory_Post_and_the_Old_Computer_Challenge⠀⇛
I guess this is the introductory post: the
first post on a new blog/gemlog/phlog. Feels
daunting…
I plan to use this blog over the next while
to at least initially talk about Solene’s Old
Computer Challenge, which I intend to attempt
to participate in this year.
# ⚓ Re:_four_years_of_Gemini⠀⇛
He goes on to lament not being more active,
but notes that he’s getting back into the
space and hopes to build up momentum for some
slow and steady progress.
I know how he feels! I’ve let Gemini
Quickstart decay over the last two years,
while the hosting and client landscape has
changed all around us. The Android client I
recommend on the site hasn’t been available
for over a year, and there are several new
ones, including the Lagrange port, which is
probably the most popular Android client
right now. I don’t have any idea what things
look like over in iOS and MacOS land these
days. There’s no mention of Antenna, Station,
Newswaffle, or Bubble, or anything else
that’s appeared since then. I’ve started
doing a little work on it just to get it
ready for making all of the changes it needs,
but I’ve got to say, it’s hard out here these
days! I have tremendous respect and
substantial envy for anyone who’s able to
keep up with their side projects.

# ⚓ God,_nature,_and_the_space_aliens⠀⇛
Recently I talked with a religious friend about how
I find the body very complex. He then jokingly said
to me, assuming I believed in his religion, “can
you believe that some people think something as
complex as a human crawled out of the ocean?” I
shrugged it off as I did not want to ruin my
relationship with this person (we live in a
society), but his comment did make me think.
[...]
When he taught us the leg muscles, he used one
particularly funny example that I still remember.
One certain muscle near the knee (that I forget the
name of) prevents the knee joint’s capsule from
getting pinched between the femur and tibia bones
when the knee bends. He told us the story of how
when god, nature, and the space aliens all got
together to design the lower extremities, they had
problems with their prototype caveman pinching the
knee capsule every time he tried to walk. Luckily,
baby Jesus came along on his tricycle and suggested
that a muscle pull the capsule away from the bones
just before they bend, making it so that the
caveman could walk just fine.
# ⚓ Top_Gun:_Maverick⠀⇛
Finally got around to finishing Top Gun: Maverick
tonight. Rented it from the library a couple weeks
ago, but hadn’t gotten around to it until now.
Definitely a fun movie, the action scenes were
super well done! Love that the “enemy territory”
was in a snowy, mountainous region, made for some
great visuals. The dogfights were great, had me on
the edge of my seat the entire time.
# ⚓ Little_meadow⠀⇛
When I moved in there was grass behind the house,
a little, inhospitible backyard past the sandpapery
square of concrete patio. Looking out the back door
there’s the sun-blasted patio, some grass, swampy
yard, then the hill up to the cemetary scrubby with
thicket and young trees.
I dug a bed for mint along the house’s back wall up
to the patio, another bed out from it that supports
a healthy horseradish where Evy grew gourds. Other
plants didn’t do well there til this year when I
planted onions. Evy’s parents brought their old
painted iron yard table and chairs.
# ⚓ 🔤SpellBinding:_CERSTUY_Wordo:_MEATY⠀⇛
o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾
# ⚓ Using_git_bundle_to_synchronize_a_repository_between_Qubes
OS_dom0_and_an_AppVM⠀⇛
In a previous article, I explained how to use
Fossil version control system to version the files
you may write in dom0 and sync them against a
remote repository.
# ⚓ Asus_L410MA_lid_screen_issue_with_XFCE4_on_Debian_12⠀⇛
Despite being cheap I decided to buy another Asus
laptop from the same family for my little one, also
this laptop was purchased as second-hand hardware,
even because I was convinced to have definitely
resolved all the issues, in the previous tests
eventually Devuan worked better than Debian.
# ⚓ Asus_L410MA_lid_screen_issue_with_XFCE4_on_Debian_12⠀⇛
# ⚓ Framework_Laptop,_one_year_on⠀⇛
This laptop was meant to be an auxiliary laptop,
for writing on the couch. I’m an Apple main user,
and knowing macOS has helped my career. But I’m
also very pro Right to Repair, and those two things
are butting heads right now. So the Framework
laptop seemed like the obvious choice, being Very
Repairable.
# ⚓ Re:_Richard_Stallman⠀⇛
After reading Ploum’s recent post about how Richard
Stallman was right all along, I have to say that I
agree with his take.
[...]
This might seem odd coming from someone who just
posted about how sick he was of Linux and was
moving back to FreeBSD. If only all of my choices
were easily explainable in life.
I’ve found myself as I get older actually becoming
more “radicalized” than I was in my 20′s and 30′s.
I definitely feel like society lost it’s way a long
time ago. One of the things that I like most about
Ploum’s post is that he recognizes the larger
parallels between society’s ills and free/libre vs
proprietary software. Everywhere you look these
days you see that what used to be held in common
trust is being carved up and divided among those
who don’t really need any more.
# § Internet/Gemini⠀➾
# ⚓ Gemini’s_Fourth_Anniversary⠀⇛
The Gemini protocol was first publicly
announced under the name “Gemini” on this day
in 2019. solderpunk considers this to the
official start date of the protocol, meaning
today is its fourth anniversary.
From my earliest days on Gemini, I knew the
protocol dated back to 2019, but last night I
got to thinking about what that really means.
I first explored Gemini and decided to create
my own capsule in March of 2021. By then,
COVID-19 had been ravaging the world for more
than a year. Many businesses were still
shuttered, many areas were still in full
lockdown, and most people still practiced
social distancing. We were forced to carry
out most of our communication through social
media and other online platforms controlled
by corporate interests. The Reddit post
became our only source of news, the Netflix
subscription our only form of entertainment.
And in that isolated environment, political
and social tensions spilled over, fresh on
the heels of the George Floyd protests and
riots on one side and the contentious US
Presidential election and January 6 protests
and riots on the other.
# § Literature⠀➾
# ⚓ Re:_The_Library_Rocks!⠀⇛
Alex wrote an excellent quick post about
using local libraries. It reminded me of when
my mother used to take me and my brother to
the library almost every day as a child; they
really are excellent places with incredible
services.
As Alex wrote about the physical benefits and
services of libraries, I thought I should
share some of the digital ones. I agree that
going to a library can be an amazing
experience, but it is also useful to know how
to get the most out of yours when you can’t
go there in person.

Is Ham Radio a natural hobby for Linux users? An
old friend joins us to explain where the two
overlap. Special Guest: Noah Chelliah.
o § Kernel Space⠀➾
# ⚓ Richard_W.M._Jones:_Follow_up_to_“I_booted_Linux_292,612
times”⠀⇛
Well that blew up. It was supposed to be just a
silly_off-the-cuff_comment about how some bugs are
very tedious to bisect.
To answer a few questions people had, here’s what
actually happened. As they say, don’t believe
everything you read in the press.
[...]
At that point I thought I had the right commit, but
Paolo Bonzini suggested to me that I boot the
kernel in parallel, in a loop, for 24 hours at the
point immediately before the commit, to try to show
that there was no latent issue in the kernel
before. (As it turns out while this is a good idea,
this analysis is subtly flawed as we’ll see).
So I did just that. After 21 hours I got bored
(plus this is using a lot of electricity and
generating huge amounts of heat, and we’re in the
middle of a heatwave here in the UK). I killed the
test after 292,612 successful boots.
I had a commit that looked suspicious, but what to
do now? I posted my findings on LKML.
We still didn’t fully understand how to trigger the
hang, except it was annoying and rare, seemed to
happen with different frequencies on AMD and Intel,
could be reproduced by several independent people,
but crucially kernel developer Peter Zijlstra could
not reproduce it.
o § Applications⠀➾
# ⚓ Linux Links ☛ Easy_Effects_–_enhance_your_audio⠀⇛
If you find your home computer setup needs an EQ,
Easy Effects might just be the ticket.
Easy Effects is GTK4 audio manipulation software
which includes a range of tools. Besides an EQ,
there are many other tools incorporated including a
limiter, compressor, and a reverberation tool.
There’s a built-in spectrum analyzer too.
It’s free and open source software.
o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾
# ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_set_up_MongoDB_Atlas_on_OpenShift⠀⇛
MongoDB offers different operator types to utilize
MongoDB with Red_Hat_OpenShift. MongoDB provides
two certified operator products, MongoDB Enterprise
Operator and MongoDB Atlas Operator. This article
will cover how to set up and configure MongoDB
Atlas on OpenShift.
# ⚓ OMG! Linux ☛ Access_GNOME’s_Top_Bar_when_Viewing_Fullscreen

# ⚓ Write.as ☛ Unifying_the_KRunner_sorting_mechanisms
for_Plasma6_&_further_plans⠀⇛
In Plasma5, we had different sorting
implementations for KRunner and Kicker. This
had historical reasons, because Kicker only
used a subset of the available KRunner
plugins. Due to the increased reliability, we
decided to allow all available plugins to be
loaded. However, the model still hard-coded
the order in which the categories are
displayed. This was reported in this bug
which received numerous duplicates.
To address this concern, I focused on
refactoring and cleaning up KRunner as part
of KDE Frameworks 6. Among the significant
architectural changes was the integration of
KRunner’s model responsible for sorting into
the KRunner framework itself. This
integration enabled easier code sharing and
simplified code maintenance. Consequently,
the custom sorting logic previously present
in Kicker could be removed.

# ⚓ Gentoo ☛ Bonding_period_1_–_Modernization_of_Portage⠀⇛
§ Bonding period 1 – Modernization of Portage
Hello everyone,
I am Berin Aniesh, one of the four contributors for
Gentoo through GSOC 2023. You can read more about
us here. In this post, I want to talk about the
project I am working on and the first two weeks of
the community bonding period
§ Title and Project Scope
The title of the project is “Modernization of
portage codebase by refactoring and rewriting
performance critical parts as C++ extensions”.
Portage is probably the most versatile package
manager on the planet and this has been its boon
and bane at the same time This versatility combined
with portage’s feature richness has made it
possible for not only gentoo users, but projects
like chromium OS, Flatcar container linux, a
numerous downstream projects and many more. In
linux, it can support any underlying stack (eg.
glibc vs musl, hardened systems, systemd vs openrc,
etc). Other than linux, it can also run on BSD and
MacOS. It supports compile time feature selection
throughUSE flags. Taking all these factors into
account, together with the fact that portage
supports numerous architectures, seeing portage
perform its duties as it was designed to is a huge
feat of engineering. And above all, everything of
portage is written by passionate volunteers. If
anything, understanding the landscape of gentoo
has brought me huge respect towards the gentoo
developers and the community.
# ⚓ Gentoo ☛ Week_3_–_Modernization_of_Portage⠀⇛
§ Week 3 – Modernization of Portage
It is the third week of the coding period. It is
mostly an uneventful week. Most part was spent on
trying to understand the dependency resolution
algorithm. In the second part of the week I also
did some refactoring and some type hints.
§ Update on the blog posts
I lost my password to access this blog and also had
troubles resetting the password. That is why I
have not been able to post per week. With help from
BlueKnight, I got my access back. So, I am dumping
the blog posts I have written, all at once. From
next week, I expect posts to be at regular
intervals (one per week). Sorry about the bulk
posting, hope you don’t mind.
# ⚓ Gentoo ☛ Week_1_–_Modernization_of_Portage⠀⇛
⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Week 1 –
Modernization of
Portage⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧
✐ Coding period starts⠀✐
So, it’s the first week of the official coding
period and I wanted to write some code and get it
merged into the master branch (I understand it’s a
bit over ambitious of me, but a man can wish). As
I said in the first blog post, portage is relied up
on by many people for different use cases and if
something were a simple fix, the gentoo developers
would have done it already. I just can’t storm in
and make changes, expect things to work.
So, we tried to find a place which has very little
impact on the portage’s running and ended up at
emerge --version.
# ⚓ Gentoo ☛ Bonding_Period_2_–_Modernization_of_Portage⠀⇛
§ Bonding Period 2 – Modernization of Portage
§ Context
In order to get familiar with the portage codebase,
we decided that I’d fix a few bugs. This blog post
talks about the second half of the community
bonding period (weeks 3 and 4) where I try to do
that.
§ Bugs, bugs and more bugs
When it comes to bugs, the paradox of choice is
real. To choose from, there is a heap of them (1439
at the moment of writing). Most of the bugs are
quality of life improvements as the portage team
has put in a lot of effort to make sure portage
does it’s jobs without many errors. After
searching, we decided to work on bug 634576.
# ⚓ Gentoo ☛ Week_2_–_Modernization_of_Portage⠀⇛
§ Week 2 – Modernization of Portage
It is the second week of coding period and it has
been a productive one. It started according to the
plans and diverged in the second half for the good.
The first half was towards type annotation and the
second half was dummy_threading deprecation.
§ Type annotation
In the words of Sam, my mentor, “I’d considere a
GSOC project complete if some 50% of the codebase
is just type annotated”. Many portage developers
were excited when we were talking about adding
type hints and docstrings.
Adding type hints and tidying up the codebase will
also give me more exposure to the underlying
functions. So, we decided, this week I’ll do type
annotations.
§ Deciding on the type hints style
Python 3.9 adds a simpler “native” style type
annotation, but portage has a minimum supported
python version of 3.7.
# ⚓ Gentoo ☛ Week_3_report_on_porting_Gentoo_packages_to_modern
C⠀⇛
Hello all,
I’m here with my week 3 report for Modern C porting
of Gentoo’s
packages. For this week I diverted from my initial
idea a bit and
focused on the “C++17 does not allow register
storage class specific” type
error. Basically, C++14 deprecated the register
storage class and it has
been completely removed in C++17, thus resulting in
C++ packages that
use register keywords with this kind of error. A
general fix is it
either removes the keywords or replaces them with
*int* where applicable.
For example, in this PR [1] for the fox toolkit,
I’m using sed to remove
register keywords from various folders of the
source. Whenever possible
I’m sending patches upstream as well, for example,
I’ve sent this [2]
patch upstream while also applying it Gentoo tree.

# ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Debugging_in_GDB:_Create_custom_stack_winders⠀⇛
In this article, we will walk through the process
of creating a custom stack unwinder for the GNU
Project Debugger (GDB) using GDB’s Python API.
We’ll first explore when writing such an unwinder
might be necessary, then create a small example
application that demonstrates a need for a custom

# ⚓ Red Hat ☛ My_advice_for_designing_features_for_the_hybrid
cloud⠀⇛
Hybrid clouds are mixed computing environments that
allow applications to use a combination of compute,
networking, storage, and services in public clouds
and private clouds, including clouds running on-
premise or at a plethora of edge locations.
To accomplish this, hybrid cloud platforms must be
designed to expose the best of the public clouds
they support and present the advantages of private
clouds while presenting a cohesive interface to the
application developer—and preferably the cloud
admin, too. A cloud admin can install a cloud
instance called a cluster, consisting of a control
plane (at least one instance) to manage the cluster
and multiple compute instances that run
applications on them.
In the rest of this article, “developer”
specifically refers to a hybrid cloud platform
developer, not an application developer. As a
developer working on OpenShift, Red Hat’s hybrid
cloud platform, I have found that designing
features around a few key tenets ensures the
cohesiveness that hybrid cloud platforms wish to
achieve.

an environment pre-configured with everything I
needed to train my model. I’ll walk through the
steps I took here.

Originally built by none other than Linus Torvalds
for handling Linux kernel development, it’s
branched out for use with all kinds of other
projects. That being said, it is not the easiest
thing to learn how to use, with tons of options,
abstract ideas, and non-linear workflows to keep
track of. So if you’re new to the system or don’t
need all of its vast swath of features, you might
want to try out an alternative like Gitless.

# ⚓ Gentoo ☛ Problems_faced_when_downstream_testing
Python_packages⠀⇛
Downstream testing refers to the testing of
software package done by their
redistributors, such as Linux distributions.
It could be done by distro-specific CI
systems, package maintainers or — as it
frequently is the case with Gentoo — even
distribution users.
What makes downstream testing really useful
is that it serves a different purpose than
upstream testing does. To put it shortly,
upstream testing aims to ensure that the
current code of the package works in one or
more reference environments, and meets
quality standards set by the package authors.
On the other hand, downstream testing aims to
ensure that a particular version of the
package (possibly an old one) works in the
environment that it will be used on, or one
that closely resembles it.
To put it another way, downstream testing may
differ from upstreaming testing by:
# testing a different (possibly old)
package version
# using a diferent (possibly newer)
Python version

that Mac users can install either on their Macs or on
dedicated Linux computers.
o ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ More_Turkish_translations⠀⇛
I would like to thank forum member madanandam for
submitting more
Turkish tr translations.
In addition, recently MrBoom submitted many Spanish es
translations. A little while before that, forum member
Maybe
submitted Russian ru translations.
o § BSD⠀➾
# ⚓ Data Swamp ☛ Using_git_bundle_to_synchronize_a_repository
between_Qubes_OS_dom0_and_an_AppVM⠀⇛
In a previous article, I explained how to use
Fossil version control system to version the files
you may write in dom0 and sync them against a
remote repository.
I figured how to synchronize a git repository
between an AppVM and dom0, then from the AppVM it
can be synchronized remotely if you want. This can
be done using the git feature named bundle, which
bundle git artifacts into a single file.
o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾
# ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ openSUSE.Asia_Summit_2023_Call_For_Papers⠀⇛
It is a pleasure to announce the call for papers
for openSUSE.Asia summit 2023 starting today, the
openSUSE.Asia Committee is looking for speakers

The beta version of the Linux Mint 21.2 “Victoria”
is now available for download. You can download
Linux Mint 21.2 Beta from the official website of
the Linux Mint.
o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾
# ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ 10_amazing_lighting_projects⠀⇛
Lighting an LED may be a simple beginner project
for Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi Pico coders, but
that doesn’t make it any less cool. There’s so much
you can do with an LED when it’s connected to a
computer. Here are just some of the ways a
Raspberry Pi project focussed on lights has wowed
us.
# ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ URANUS_is_an_AI_Edge_Fanless_Embedded_System

o § Events⠀➾
# ⚓ FOSSY_schedule_announcement⠀⇛
A news_item from Software Freedom Conservancy.
The FOSSY_schedule has been set! With four days of
talks and workshops, we are looking forward to a
fantastic conference. Thanks to all our incredible
track organizers and speakers for working with us
to create a jam packed weekend of FOSS. We look
forward to building this conference with you all in
Portland, OR this July 13-16th.
Join us Thursday the 13th for registration and a
welcome lunch, then there are 2 workshops and 3
tracks to choose from! Grow Your Project Workshop,
Free BSD Workshop, AArch64/ARM64 Servers and Open
Source, FOSS For Education, XMPP.
o § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾
# ⚓ Chris Coyier ☛ Why_don’t_sites_go_down_much_anymore?⠀⇛
Websites used to go down with more regularity than
they do now. Twitter famously had the fail whale.
But I mean more like “normal” websites, like this
one. If Daring Fireball linked to a site and it
went down, that community called it getting
“Fireballed” and there was exotic solutions. If
Slashdot traffic took down a site it was
“slashdotted”. There was the “Digg Effect” and
“Reddit Effect” and the like.
You don’t really see that anymore. Why?
# ⚓ Talospace ☛ Firefox_114_on_POWER⠀⇛
Firefox 114 is released. The biggest update in my
humble opinion is that (assuming you’re running
Linux) you can now use FIDO2/WebAuthn
authenticators over USB, and virtually all of them
should “just work” with OpenPOWER hardware. I’m
going to try this out and report back but cursorily
looking at the source code I don’t see any reason
why it would be incompatible. If you bought your
POWER9 for security purposes, or even if you just
like being secure-adjacent, here’s another advance
to take advantage of. A more nebulous new feature
in 114 is support for WebTransport, which adds low-
latency datagram-grade server communication and
should facilitate more interactive applications but
will probably just be another way for sites to spy
on you. Oh well! This initial cut requires HTTP/
3 but HTTP/2 support is coming.
# § Mozilla⠀➾
# ⚓ Thunderbird ☛ Community_Voice:_5_Ways_To_Make
Thunderbird_and_LibreOffice_Better_Together⠀⇛
Thunderbird doesn’t come bundled with a great
suite of office productivity software, but
there are many excellent free and open source
applications that work well alongside it. One
fantastic example is LibreOffice from The
Document Foundation. And just like
Thunderbird, it’s open source and
multiplatform, available on Linux, macOS, and
Windows.
o § Licensing / Legal⠀➾
# ⚓ [Repeat] Carl Schwan ☛ My_generic_Open_Source_Project_FAQ⠀⇛
People are often asking the same questions again
and again about some of my projects, so it might be
a good opportunity to write a small FAQ.
If you get redirected here, don’t take it
personally; I am getting asked these questions very
often, and I feel people often misunderstand how
open-source projects work.
# ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Whose_line_is_it_anyway,_GitHub?
Innovation,_not_litigation,_should_answer⠀⇛
Perhaps it’s the way it does it, presenting the
code suggestions out of context. There are lots of
open source licenses, after all, and some may
contain conditions that our happy Copilot cut and
paster should know about. Well, assuming Copilot
can recognize when it’s suggesting someone else’s
code, it’s not unreasonable that it can report the
licensing conditions it’s offered under. That puts
the onus on the coder to comply, which is more
ethical than offering up temptation while hiding
the consequences. Might even improve the hit rate
for following open source rules.
o § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾
# ⚓ Bert Hubert ☛ Welcome_to_the_BAG:_The_Dutch_Building_and
Addresses_database⠀⇛
Recently I wrote a dedicated open source tool
called bagconv for this purpose which also papers
over some semantics of the BAG that are easy to get
wrong.
o § Programming/Development⠀➾
# ⚓ Phil Eaton ☛ Metaprogramming_in_Zig_and_parsing_CSS⠀⇛
I knew Zig supported some sort of reflection on
types. But I had been confused about how to use it.
What’s the difference between @typeInfo and
@TypeOf? I ignored this aspect of Zig until a
problem came up at work where reflection made
sense.
The situation was parsing and storing parsed fields
in a struct. Each field name that is parsed should
match up to a struct field.
# ⚓ Matt Rickard ☛ Merge_Queues⠀⇛
A CI workflow starts when a developer pushes a
proposed change (pull request, changeset, patch,
etc.). The code goes through a cycle of reviews and
testing until it passes automated and manual (i.e.,
review) tests. Then it gets merged into the main
branch.
But it’s not that simple, and there are numerous
places where this can go wrong (and ways to make it
more efficient).
# ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Failing_to_draw_lines_between
‘script’_and_‘program’⠀⇛
I’m not sure I fully believe what I posted any
more, or even that I can clearly draw a distinction
between ‘script’ and ‘program’ that feels right and
is useful in practice. Personally, I think that all
compiled things are programs, not scripts, and I
probably call all of my Python code, even small
ones, a ‘program’. Is Linux’s DKMS, famously
written as several thousand lines of Bourne shell,
a ‘program’ or a ‘script’? I don’t know. I’ve
probably called it both at various times, but then
some of the times I’ve called it a script I’ve
probably meant that as short for ‘a Bourne shell
script’, ie I was talking about the implementation
language.
# ⚓ MaskRay ☛ Port_LLVM_XRay_to_Apple_systems⠀⇛
I do not use Apple products, but I sometimes like
investigating Mach-O as an object file format and
my llvm-project changes sometimes need to work
around the quirks.
LLVM has a function call tracing system called
XRay. It supports many architectures on Linux and
some BSDs but does not support Apple systems. If
the target triple is x86_64-apple-darwin*, you may
notice that Clang will allow you to perform
compilation, but linking will fail. For other
architectures, Clang will reject it.
# ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ Raspberry_Pi_Tracks_Flights_and_Weather_in
One_Convenient_Project⠀⇛
In this project, C0wsaysmoo is using a Raspberry Pi
3 A+ but there’s no reason you couldn’t use
something smaller like a Raspberry Pi Zero or even
bigger like the latest Raspberry Pi 4. It’s
connected to a 64 x 32px RGB matrix panel that’s
controlled using an Adafruit Bonnet. Everything is
housed inside of a wooden box and finished with a
tinted acrylic cover in front of the screen.
# ⚓ The_Servo_Blog:_Conference_news⠀⇛
In the first week of June 2023, the Servo project
team participated in the Web_Engines_Hackfest_2023.
Delan Azabani gave a talk_about_the_Servo_project,
diving into the details of the team’s work in the
first half of the year and its plans for the second
half. The talk provided some valuable insights into
running some Servo demos as well as the status of
floats and the evolution of the layout system. In
addition, there were some engaging discussions
around the future of the shared style crate in
Gecko and Servo.
# ⚓ Arthur_Grillo:_How_it’s_Going:_Adding_NV12_support_to
VKMS⠀⇛
This work proposed by my mentor Maíra_Canal is
going more difficult than I thought >W<.
On the Community Bonding Period of GSoC, Maíra
proposed I work on VKMS. While looking on the TODO
list of the driver, on the plane feature section, I
found the item “Additional buffer formats,
especially YUV formats for video like NV12”
interesting to work on, as it has some correlation
with my work on the GSoC.
# ⚓ Vasudev_Kamath:_Notes:_Experimenting_with_ZRAM_and_Memory
Over_commit⠀⇛
§ Introduction
The ZRAM module in the Linux kernel creates a
memory-backed block device that stores its content
in a compressed format. It offers users the choice
of compression algorithms such as lz4, zstd, or
lzo. These algorithms differ in compression ratio
and speed, with zstd providing the best compression
but being slower, while lz4 offers higher speed but
lower compression.
§ Using ZRAM as Swap
One interesting use case for ZRAM is utilizing it
as swap space in the system. There are two
utilities available for configuring ZRAM as swap:
zram-tools and systemd-zram-generator. However,
Debian Bullseye lacks systemd-zram-generator,
making zram-tools the only option for Bullseye
users. While it’s possible to use systemd-zram-
generator by self-compiling or via cargo, I
preferred using tools available in the distribution
repository due to my restricted environment.
# § Python⠀➾
# ⚓ Evan Hahn ☛ Python’s_nonstandard_JSON_encoding⠀⇛
Python’s built-in JSON module, json, can
produce results that most other JSON parsers
do not accept. This is because it has
nonstandard serializations for infinity,
negative infinity, and NaN.
# § Java⠀➾
# ⚓ Alexandru Nedelcu ☛ Java_Volatiles⠀⇛
In Java and other JVM languages, “volatile”
reads and writes are part of the concurrency
toolbox. But adding volatile on variables can
be a mistake. This is a poorly understood
concept. Let’s gain a better understanding.
* § Leftovers⠀➾
o ⚓ Old VCR ☛ RIP,_Bob_Applegate⠀⇛
It’s hard to do two memorial posts in one weekend. If you
use a KIM-1 or related 6502 single-board computers, Bob
Applegate’s hardware (sold as Corsham Tech, though I
remember when it was k2ut.org) was the best, including
his virtually essential I/O card. [...]
o ⚓ Ali Reza Hayati ☛ Community_versus_Corporation⠀⇛
As much as I like Reddit, I believe the corporation
behind it makes it fundamentally impossible to build a
real community-powered and people-driven network.
Reddit’s benefits and decisions over their policies are
based and focused on development of the corporation and
financial factors while the communities focus on their
interests such as building relationships with one another
and producing and sharing better material with each
other.
o ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ How_the_musical_‘The_Rocky_Horror_Show’_became_a
cult_hit⠀⇛
Whether in Australia or in the UK, the musical is getting
new stagings to mark its 50th anniversary.
o § Science⠀➾
# ⚓ Science Alert ☛ The_Surprising_Reason_Astronomers_Are_Vital
in_Legal_Proceedings⠀⇛
Most court evidence from an astronomer involves
calculating the positions and lighting from an
astronomical body – the Sun or Moon. Luckily, the
tools we use to calculate the positions of
celestial bodies are very accurate, and can be
calculated hundreds to thousands of years into the
past or future.
An obvious example is when someone claims the Sun
was in their eyes, causing a glare, and they get
into a car accident. Someone needs to say where the
Sun was, its position, and how it aligned with the
street and direction of travel. At certain times
and in certain directions, the Sun may indeed
hinder someone’s vision.
There is also the situation where someone sees
something, but it happened around sunrise or
sunset. An expert is needed to say what the
lighting level was – as there are very clear
definitions based on the Sun’s position below the
horizon, and how much you can see.
o § Education⠀➾
# ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ Post-Pandemic_Test_Scores_Show_Schools
Struggling_to_Catch_Up [Ed: Pro Publica, which publishes
this, is meanwhile taking bribes from the wrecking ball who
has demolished US schools for personal profits. His name is
Bill Gates and Pro Publica is in no position to claim high
ground.]⠀⇛
Angela Wright became the principal of Fairfield
Court Elementary School in Richmond, Virginia, in
the fall of 2020, but she didn’t meet her students
until a year later. At the start of the pandemic,
Richmond had moved all of its 22,000 students to
remote learning. By the time they returned to the
classroom, in September 2021, after every other
school district in the state, it had been 18 months
since they’d been inside a school building.
For Wright, the posting at Fairfield Court was the
culmination of a steady rise: from instructional
assistant to teacher to assistant principal to
principal. When her father saw her first monthly
paycheck as a teacher, he asked, “Is this for a
week?” “He said, ‘Are you sure this is what you
want to do?’” she recalled. “I said, ‘Yes.’ When
you see kids light up, when you see that they get
it, when you see kids who were tier three or lower
rise to the top …”
o § Hardware⠀➾
# ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ System76’s_New_Laptops_Have_16:10_Displays_And
RTX_4000_GPUs⠀⇛
System76 has announced an update to the Oryx Pro,
one of the company’s laptops that ship with desktop
Linux. It has a 16-inch display with a 16:10 aspect
ratio, making it excellent for reading and working,
and if you’d like to game, it’s also equipped with
RTX 4000 GPUs, letting you choose up to an RTX
4070.
# ⚓ Adafruit ☛ Torture-Testing_C-Clamps⠀⇛
Of all of the tools tested, only 1 out of 18 clamps
survived the testing without damage. The brands
Todd tested were Wilton, Wright Tool, Stanley
Proto, Crescent, Bessey F-Style, Bessey C-Clamp,
Groz, Yost, Lincoln Electric, Performance Tool,
Pony, Harden, WEN, Pittsburgh, and Shop Tek.
# ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Bringing_Back_The_Minitel⠀⇛
If you didn’t live in France in the 80s or 90s,
it’s likely you missed out on one of the most
successful computer networks in existence prior to
the modern Internet. Known as Minitel, it was an
online service available over existing phone lines
that offered a connected computer terminal for
users to do most things we associate with the
modern world, such as booking travel, viewing news,
looking up phone numbers, and plenty of other
useful activities. While a lot of the original
system was never archived, there are still some
efforts to restore some of its original
functionality like this MiniMit.
o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾
# ⚓ Latvia ☛ Latvia’s_Covid_vaccine_procurement_case_reaches

Court proceedings are under way against the former
Minister of Health Ilze Viņķele, in which she has
been accused of inaction in the position as a state
official. On Monday, June 19, Prime Minister
Krišjānis Kariņš was among those testifying,
Latvian Television reported.
# ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Stand_News_sedition_trial:_Closing

prosecutor tested positive for Covid-19.
# ⚓ New York Times ☛ China’s_Economic_Rebound_Hits_a_Wall,_With
‘No_Quick_Fix’_to_Revive_It⠀⇛
Policymakers and investors expected China’s economy
to rev up again after Beijing abruptly dropped
Covid precautions, but recent data shows alarming
signs of a slowdown.
# ⚓ NYPost ☛ YouTube_says_it_removed_Jordan_Peterson_interview

On Sunday, both Kennedy and podcast host Jordan
Peterson tweeted that the video-sharing website had
taken down their interview from an episode of
Peterson’s show and accused the social media
platform of censorship and interfering with a
presidential campaign.
o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾
# ⚓ Security Week ☛ Western_Digital_Blocks_Unpatched_Devices
From_Cloud_Services⠀⇛
The move, which began on June 15, comes one month
after the company released firmware updates for its
My Cloud product line to address multiple security
defects, including a critical path traversal bug
that leads to remote code execution (RCE).
The issue is tracked as CVE-2022-36327 and carries
CVSS severity score of 9.8/10. According to a NIST
advisory, the flaw “could allow an attacker to
write files to locations with certain critical
filesystem types.”
# ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ The_Frankenstein_ChatBots_Are_Coming⠀⇛
Before he gets specific, Claypool previews his
conclusion: “Until meaningful government safeguards
are in place to protect the public from the harms
of generative A.I., we need a pause.” Just how, he
doesn’t say. Because with so many increasing
generators of these Chatbots around the world, this
flood of Frankenstein Chatbots may present a
problem the Dean of the Harvard Law School, Roscoe
Pound, described regarding the prohibition of
alcoholic beverages in the 1920s as being beyond
“the limits of effective legal action.”

It turns out that this same gang of
government-backed hackers used a different –
and even older – Telerik flaw to break into
another US federal agency’s Microsoft IIS web
server, access the Document Manager
component, upload webshells and other files,
and establish persistence on the government
network.
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency and FBI warned about the
first intrusion into a federal civilian
executive branch agency’s Microsoft IIS web
server back in March, and said the snafu
happened between November 2022 and early
January.
# ⚓ Security Week ☛ Ransomware_Gang_Takes_Credit_for
February_Reddit_Hack⠀⇛
The attackers accessed internal documents,
internal dashboards, business systems, source
code, the information of hundreds of contacts
and current and former employees, and
advertiser data, Reddit said at the time,
noting that it had no evidence that the
attackers compromised production systems,
user passwords or accounts.
Over the weekend, the Alphv/BlackCat
ransomware gang listed Reddit on its leak
site and claimed to have stolen 80GB of data.
No file-encrypting ransomware appears to have
been deployed on Reddit’s systems.
# ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ BlackCat_ransomware_gang_demands

applied all the vendor’s recommended security
patches.
“We continue to investigate and work closely
with the vendor, and at this stage we are not
aware of any of our customers’ data being

# ⚓ Support_for_Istio_1.16_ends_on_July_19th,_2023⠀⇛
According to Istio’s support_policy, minor releases
like 1.16 are supported until six weeks after the
N+2 minor release (1.18 in this case). Istio_1.18
was_released_on_June_7th, and support for 1.16 will
end on July 19th, 2023.
# ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Alphv_ransomware_gang_wants_Reddit_to_withdraw
change_in_API_pricing⠀⇛
The Alphv group said it had told Reddit that it had
been initially willing to wait for the company’s
proposed IPO to settle the data theft issue. It
claimed to have contacted Reddit twice: on 13 April
and again on 16 June.
{loadposition sam08}”We are very confident that
Reddit will not pay any money for their data. But I
am very happy to know that the public will be able
to read about all the statistics they track about
their users and all the interesting confidential
data we took. Did you know they also silently
censor users? Along with artifacts from their
GitHub!” the group wrote.
Reddit has been mired in a stoush with its users
for a while after it said it would be imposing
costs for accessing its data. About 9000 subreddits
have gone dark since the protest began.
Third-party developers rely on the API to build
their own apps which can provide access to features
not found in the official Reddit app, especially in
the case of content moderation and accessibility
aids.
# § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾
# ⚓ [Repeat] Light Blue Touchpaper ☛ The_Pre-play_Attack
in_Real_Life⠀⇛
Almost ten years ago, after we wrote a paper
on the pre-play attack, we were contacted by
a Scottish sailor who’d bought a drink in a
bar in Las Ramblas in Barcelona for €33, and
found the following morning that he’d been
charged €33,000 instead. The bar had
submitted ten transactions an hour apart for
€3,300 each, and when we got the transaction
logs it turned out that these transactions
had been submitted through three different
banks. What’s more, although the transactions
came from the same terminal ID, they had
different terminal characteristics. When the
sailor’s lawyer pointed this out to Lloyds
Bank, they grudgingly accepted that it had
been technical fraud and refunded the money.

Aptly for a nation built on racism, Juneteenth
marks not the actual day enslaved black Texans were
declared free but the day Union troops bothered to
tell them they were free – months after the Civil
War ended, and two years after Lincoln’s
Emancipation Proclamation. Today, black Americans
beset by newly bold white supremacy, from the
erasure of their history to the erosion of their
voting rights, fight back with rage, truth, art,
protest, but are still moved to ask: “How long must
we sing this song?”
# ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Is_Juneteenth,_Our_New_National_Holiday,_a

On June 16, 2023, the White House announced that
President Biden was proud to have signed the 2021
bi-partisan law establishing Juneteenth as a new
Federal holiday to, in his words, “commemorate
America’s dedication to the cause of freedom.”
Juneteenth, in many ways, is the quintessential
American holiday.
# ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Juneteenth:_Embracing_the_Power_of_Awareness

We continue our Juneteenth special with more from
Harry Belafonte, the legendary actor, singer and
civil rights activist, who died in April at the age
of 96. Belafonte last appeared on Democracy Now! in
2016 at a special event at the historic Riverside
Church in New York to celebrate Democracy Now!’s
20th anniversary. He co-headlined the event with
Noam Chomsky. It was the first time they had done a
public event together. Belafonte spoke about Donald
Trump, who had just been elected president, and
ongoing struggles for freedom and justice in the

We dedicate part of our Juneteenth special to
remembering the life and legacy of the legendary
actor, singer and civil rights activist Harry
Belafonte, who died in April at the age of 96.
Belafonte appeared on Democracy Now! numerous
times, and we feature two interviews. We begin with
our 2011 interview at the Sundance Film Festival,
where a documentary about his life, titled Sing
Your Song, premiered, and discuss his political
awakening and activism in detail. “Going into the
South of the United States, listening to the voices
of rural Black America, listening to the voices of
those who sang out against the Ku Klux Klan and out
against segregation, and women, who were the most
oppressed of all, rising to the occasion to protest
against their conditions, became the arena where my
first songs were to emerge,” Belafonte recalled.

We feature a special broadcast on the newly created
Juneteenth federal holiday commemorating the day in
1865 when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas,
learned of their freedom more than two years after
the Emancipation Proclamation. We begin with our
2021 interview with historian Clint Smith,
originally aired a day after President Biden signed
legislation to make Juneteenth the first new
federal holiday since Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Day. Smith is the author of How the Word Is Passed:
A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across
America. “When I think of Juneteenth, part of what
I think about is the both/andedness of it,” Smith
says, “that it is this moment in which we mourn the
fact that freedom was kept from hundreds of
thousands of enslaved people for years and for
months after it had been attained by them, and
then, at the same time, celebrating the end of one
of the most egregious things that this country has
ever done.” Smith says he recognizes the federal
holiday marking Juneteenth as a symbol, “but it is
clearly not enough.”

stratosphere. It would go around the globe very
quickly and reduce sunlight by as much as 70
percent, causing temperatures like that of the
Little Ice Age, killing harvests worldwide and
starving to death nearly everyone on earth. It
probably wouldn’t cause extinction. We’re so

While the attempt to protect journalists is
welcome, there are concerns about how effective the
Regulation will end up being, given the recent
changes being made to the draft by the Council of
the European Union. The latest compromise text of
24 May and discussed by the Audiovisual and Media
Working Group on 30 May poses serious risks to
European Union core democratic principles and
fundamental rights, notably press freedoms, freedom
of expression and the protection of journalists.
Pressure to weaken the already insufficient
Commission’s proposal comes from the French
authorities. In a non-paper circulated in April to
other delegations, the French government strongly
pushed for adding a wide “national security” carve
out from any protections afforded by the EMFA, in
order to safeguard the prerogative of Member States
in this area of competence. France absolutely
dreads the scrutiny of the Court of Justice of the
European Union, which “presents the risk of an
extensive interpretation”of safeguards in EU law.
It also advocated for the deletion of the term
“spyware” in the Regulation so as to treat the
deployment of such extremely intrusive tools like
any other investigative means.
