Linux Foundation ja Red Hat lyövät hynttyyt yhteen mm. Palantirin kanssa. Yhteistyökumppanista tulee heti mieleen, mitä myös Linus Torvalds sanoi: “This is *NOT* some kind of "social warrior" project, never has been, and never will be.”

Jos tulkitsen Nvidian yritysblogia oikein, niin tämän Open Secure AI Alliancen tarkoitus on (suoraan ja/tai välillisesti) puskea avoimen lähdekoodin projekteihin vibekoodattuja tietoturvakorjauksia tai pelkästään etsiä haavoittuvuuksia kielimalleilla sen lisäksi, että kaavailevat jotain uutta paikallisesti toimivaa “AI-agenttia” joka jotenkin epämääräisesti auttaisi toisten moisten kyberhyökkäyksiltä suojautumisessa. Pitäähän Nvidian nyt GPU:nsa saada myytyä. Tavoitteena ei siis ole palkata koodareita paikkaamaan tietoturva-aukkoja.

What's the most common complaint I've heard about Linux?

Not the installation process.
Not finding a distro.
Not getting programs to work.
Not troubleshooting.
Not hardware compatibility.

The most common complaint about Linux I've seen is this:
For a normal computer user, asking for help is just about impossible.

They ask a simple question and:
People respond "Did you Google it?"
People complain that the question wasn't asked "correctly".
People respond "RTFM"
People get mad??? at them for making an easy mistake.

We can't expect normal people to know to, or even know how to deal with any of that stuff.

Search engines these days are awful, manuals are hard to read for most people (especially stuff like ArchWiki), and normal people make mistakes we think are easily avoidable.

The solution to making Linux more popular is not ruthless promotion. The solution is to actually help the people who are trying to use it.

"Anti-AI open source has an enemy in common, but almost nothing else"

This register article, like anti-ai in general, suffers from one central problem.

It never defines #AI.

Can you be against something without saying what exactly it is? Is it any software that is trained? Is it the image recognition that you have long used? Or does it become bad only when it becomes "large" and "language" based training?

@roland @Binder It was profound foresight in the mid-70s to design software for an operating system that would not even be conceived of, let alone released, until at least a decade later.

That requires developing functional understanding of a future project without anyone first conceiving or conceptualizing it, a truly innovative approach that upends conventional applications of feasible reality.

This will be taught in #ComputerScience theory courses for generations to come.

Jails, Not Containers: FreeBSD Isolation Done Right – Umair Khurshid | Klara Systems

Containers play a major role in modern infrastructure, but they are not the right answer for every workload. This article explores how FreeBSD jails provide purpose-built isolation, predictable security boundaries, and deep ZFS integration—making them ideal infrastructure-grade services where stability is essential. …

Today I talked about GNU Guix at MashhadLUG, our local Linux User Group. I’ve published the presentation files on GitHub. (Sadly, GitLab is unavailable for my country due to sanctions, and Codeberg is blocked by the Iranian government, otherwise I would have preferred to host them there.)

Today, the Linuxulator did its job, and it did it very well.
A client is experimenting with moving from Docker to FreeBSD and jails, and they seem very happy with it so far.
The issue is that part of their build process - as so often happens - relies on Node dependencies that only compile on Linux, macOS, etc., but not on FreeBSD, due to a missing binary that isn't provided for it. Currently, they build on their local machines and push the output to the server, but sometimes they need to make quick changes on the fly.

So, I set up a Linux jail (Ubuntu) using BastilleBSD, installed the dependencies, set up a bind mount, and granted them access to the jail. The result: now they can compile right from there too, improving their overall workflow.

The Linuxulator - and even more so, illumos's lx zones - are truly remarkable pieces of technology.

OK let me run up this flagpole. now I KNOW there's so many UNIX-style desktop environments that I can't possible make a really comprehensive poll but I'm genuinely curious as to what folks use. We first experienced Xfce quite a while ago (late 1990s when it was new) and after spending a while with KDE and other things instead we settled back into Xfce. It gets the job done and that's what matters.

So, your #Linux / #BSD / #UNIX desktop environment!

I know it's a Cheap Pop, praising #Linux here on Mastodon, but I have to say... I think Microsoft may have made a massive "Video Game Crash of '83" level fuck up with Windows 11.

If people don't like one of their decisions, their entire value, up until now, has been the *somewhat* valid argument of "what are you going to do, switch to Apple?"

And to be clear, I am not shaming Mac users (a thing that I really wish they would also try not to do back, looking at you, iPhone snobs).

But even though Unix/Linux have been around since the dawn of time, Microsoft's never really considered Linux a threat, due to the multiple barriers of entry - the complicated install, difficulty of overall use, lack of support and drivers, incompatibilities, and there being a certain (let's be honest, sometimes justified) stigma against Linux users.

Union QtWidgets update:

It looks broken, but it's getting there. At least now it's mostly reading data from Union and standing on it's own: It's not just modified Breeze QtWidgets style anymore, but actually reading the CSS and trying it's best to look similar.

There are a lot of things still missing. Some elements here are wrong size or are using the QCommonStyle items, which is basically "unstyled Qt" because I have not yet created drawcalls for them. For example scrollbars and tabs.

But it's slowly shaping up. I have had to tear this apart and rebuild multiple times due to there not being good information on how to create a QStyle out there. A lot of trial and error and investigating what Breeze is doing.

It will need more time. But I really really hope I can get it for 6.8. No promises, but I am really trying.

The sad thing is, as I was saying last year, all of this is unnecessary. The kernels, #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, and #Linux, all maintain almost all of the stuff that 'who' needs, and have done since the switch to POSIX sessions and process groups in the 1980s.

There aren't any needs for a parallel database outwith the kernel. A few sysctl/procfs extensions for reading the kernel's own list of sessions, and we'd be away.

It's interesting how close but still how frustratingly far off #FreeBSD is in this regard.

The setlogin() name is per-session, not per-process. But whilst there is a sysctl() for snapshotting the process list, there isn't one for snapshotting the session list.

Apart from session objects lacking a creation timestamp and a "hostname", everything "who" needs is actually already maintained by the kernel, just inaccessibly.

Linus Torvalds has repeatedly said that LLMs are "clearly useful" and "just a tool" and that the kernel maintainers will use LLMs for Linux development.

He fails to acknowledge that LLMs are based entirely on the theft of intellectual property and that they are destroying our habitat and the future of our species as a whole.

I find this extremely frustrating, coming not just from some random tech bro but the man who controls arguably one of the most important pieces of software in the world.
