💥 Gets Sats Quick and Easy with Strike 📻 LINUX Unplugged on Fountain.FM Boltz — Privacy First, Non-Custodial Bitcoin Exchange.bcachefs — bcachefs is an advanced new filesystem for Linux, with an emphasis on reliability and robustness and the complete set of features one would expect from a modern filesystem. bcachefs Erasure coding — Bcachefs takes advantage of the fact that it is already a copy-on-write filesystem. If we're designing our filesystem to avoid update-in-place, why would we do update-in-place in our RAID implementation?bcachefs Caching — bcachefs can be configured for writethrough, writeback, and writearound caching, as well as other more specialized setups. bachefs Compression — Unlike other filesystems that typically do compression at the block level, bcachefs does compression at the extent level - variable size chunks, up to (by default) 128k.bcachefs Encryption — bcachefs uses AEAD style encryption (ChaCha20/Poly1305), where each encrypted block is authenticated with a MAC, with a chain of trust up to root (the superblock), and every encrypted block has a unique nonce. bcachefs Snapshots — bcachefs provides Btrfs style writeable snapshots, at subvolume granularity. (2015) [ANNOUNCE] bcachefs - a general purpose COW filesystem — It's taken a long time to get to this point - longer than I would have guessed if you'd asked me back when we first started talking about it - but I'm pretty damn proud of where it's at now.Kent Overstreet's Patreon Unplugged Core Membership Jupiter Signal PROMO 2024 — $3 off a month forever.

Future code contributors to Synapse will need to sign a contributor license agreement (CLA) based on the Apache Software Foundation’s CLA, giving Element the right to license the contribution commercially to third party proprietary forks so we can use it to help fund Matrix core development in future.Synapse goes AGPL Discussion on Hacker NewsSelling Exceptions to the GNU GPLAsk Noah Show 362 — Ubuntu Summit 2023 with Jon SeagerFuture of the bitcoin-dev mailing list — Our current mailing list host, Linux Foundation, has indicated for years that they have wanted to stop hosting mailing lists, which would mean the bitcoin-dev mailing list would need to move somewhere else.

Let us know!Fedora 39 Delayed To At Least 7 November — While Fedora 39 was aiming for an ideal "early final" release on 18 October, that didn't happen, it was delayed, and then delayed again. Now the earliest Fedora 39 will possibly shift is 7 November.Bug: F39 RC1.2 images have sometimes “RC” in their nameBug: Failed media check immediately disappears on bare metal, shows a black screen insteadF39 Final Go/No-Go meetingLinux Mint Starts working on Wayland Support — The work started on Wayland. As mentioned earlier this year, this was identified as one of the major challenges our project had to tackle in the mid to long term.Cinnamon Wayland TrelloLinux Mint Starts Working On Wayland For Cinnamon, Likely Not Fully Ready Until 2026Six Great Features With The Upcoming Linux 6.6 Kernel — While there were many last minute fixes this week, the changes don't appear to be too scary or invasive. In any event the Linux 6.6 kernel is bringing some exciting features.Linux 6.6 Features Include The EEVDF Scheduler, Shadow Stack, Intel IVSC, AMD DBC & MoreBtrfs For Linux 6.6 Brings Fixes, Partially Recovers From Scrub Performance Regression — David Sterba of SUSE sent out the Btrfs updates on Monday for the Linux 6.6 kernel merge window. There are no explicit new features this cycle but a variety of bug fixes, including work to address the Btrfs scrub performance following a rework back in Linux 6.4. The scrub performance isn't entirely restored but at least it's inching ahead in the right direction with Linux 6.6.EXT4 Lands A Nice Performance Improvement For Appending To Delalloc Files — I conducted tests in my 32-core environment by launching 32 concurrent threads to append write to the same file. Each write operation had a length of 1024 bytes and was repeated 100000 times. Without using this patch, the test was completed in 7705 ms. However, with this patch, the test was completed in 5066 ms, resulting in a performance improvement of 34%.XFS File-System Maintainer Stepping Down — My final act as maintainer is to write down every thing that I've been doing as maintainer for the past six years. There are too many demands placed on the maintainer, and the only way to fix this is to delegate the responsibilities. I also wrote down my impressions of the unwritten rules about how to contribute to XFS.XFS Begins Landing Online Repair, New Release Manager Takes Over — We now have in-memory pageable memory for staging btrees, a bunch of pending fixes, and we've started the process of refactoring the scrub support code to support more of repair.SELinux In Linux 6.6 Removes References To Its Origins At The US NSA — We've come a long way from the original NSA submission and I would consider SELinux a true community project at this point so removing the NSA branding just makes sense.Linux 6.6 To Bring Another Rust Toolchain Upgrade — Some of the other Rust changes for this imminent merge window include supporting the rust-analyzer for out-of-tree kernel modules, the Rust availability detection script has been improved, a new "paste!" proc macro, new pinned-init APIs, and a variety of other additions to continue to make Rust programming possibilities for the Linux kernel more robust.[SOLVED] - LXC Nvidia Passthrough | Proxmox Support ForumContribute to PodverseSoltros' Nix ConfigSilverBullet — SilverBullet is an extensible open-source, personal knowledge management system. Indeed, that’s fancy talk for “a note-taking app with links.” However, SilverBullet goes a bit beyond just that.Nixpkgs supply chain security project — The focus of this project is on reducing our reliance on foreign binaries to compile Nixpkgs from scratch, ensuring we are are indeed running the code we compiled by leveraging existing security components in NixOS, and putting in place mechanisms that allow us to deliver the most up-to-date, secure software whenever it is available in a way that can be sustained given our maintainer capacities.Pick: kmon — Linux Kernel Manager and Activity Monitor 🐧💻kmon in nixpkgsLinuxFest Northwest YoutubeLinuxFest Northwest 2023 Minifest: What’s New in Nextcloud?LinuxFest Northwest 2023 Minifest Videosdocker-wyze-bridge — WebRTC/RTSP/RTMP/LL-HLS bridge for Wyze cams in a docker container.wz_mini_hacks — Run whatever firmware you want on your camera and have root access to the device.Bitcoin Beach — The project Bitcoin Beach is creating a sustainable Bitcoin Economic ecosystem on the coast of El Salvador, where the majority of people do not have access to bank accounts and the local businesses could never qualify for merchant accounts needed to accept credit cards.Sun, 29 Oct 2023 - 1h 08min - 533 - 533: LinuxFest North Jeff

This is an inversion of the usual test, which denies access to symbols that are marked GPL-only. The reasoning is that symbol_get() has always been intended for low-level cooperation deep within the kernel, where everything is expected to be GPL-only anyway.Linux 6.6 To Better Protect Against The Illicit Behavior Of NVIDIA’s Proprietary Driver — Back in 2020 when the original defense was added, NVIDIA recommended avoiding the Linux 5.9 for the time being. They ended up having a supported driver several weeks later.

Such a setup is possible because NixOS only needs /boot and /nix in order to boot, all other system files are simply links to files in /nix. /boot and /nix still need to be stored on a hard drive or SSD.impermanence: Modules to help you handle persistent state on systems with ephemeral root storage [maintainer=@talyz]Example ZFS + tmpfs root configurationNixOS on Btrfs+tmpfsA plan to stabilize the new CLI and Flakes incrementally — Ever since the closing of RFC 49, we've had the new CLI and Flakes marked as experimental, with no clear plan forward.project StratisBackups - Perfect Media ServerPodverse GitHub — Podverse has a bounty out for Android Auto.Jay Sam Bee in Philadelphia NixOS Bounty — Jay has a bounty for getting Wallabag on NixOS.Self-Hosted 102: NixOS is a bit Flakeycompletenoobs.comOpenStreetMap.org — OpenStreetMap is a map of the world, created by people like you and free to use under an open license.OSMand.netOSM is an extensible editor for OpenStreetMapOSM is an extensible editor for OpenStreetMapStreetComplete — Help to improve the OpenStreetMap with StreetComplete!nixpkg.pySun, 20 Aug 2023 - 1h 06min - 523 - 523: Ride the Rhino

Berlin with Brent Meetup — Sat, Jul 22, 2023, 7:00 PMBerlin Buds Matrix RoomOur Essential Apps | Self-Hosted 100 — We cover our must-have self-hosted apps, reflect on the state of Self-Hosting now, and discuss what's new in Proxmox 8.Red Hat’s commitment to open source: A response to the git.centos.org changes — There was a time, not too long ago, that Red Hat found value in the work done by rebuilders like CentOS. We pushed our SRPMs out to git.centos.org in a neat package that made them easy to rebuild; we even de-branded it for them. More recently, we have determined that there isn’t value in having a downstream rebuilder.Linux Action News 298 — Why everyone is excited about the next Linux kernel, Valve's big hire, and Red Hat's clone war.Ask Noah 343 Interview w/Mike McGrath — Mike McGrath joins the Ask Noah Show to discuss the changes Red Hat is making in how they make their source code available.A Comprehensive Analysis of the GPL Issues With the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Business Model — We fear that be it through incompetence or malice, many RHEL salespeople and business development professionals may regularly violate GPL and no one knows about it. That said, the business model as described by IBM's Red Hat may well comply with the GPL — it's just so murky that any tweak to the model in any direction seems to definitely violate, in our experience.Rocky Linux Shares How They May Continue To Obtain The RHEL Source Code — One option is through the usage of UBI container images which are based on RHEL and available from multiple online sources (including Docker Hub). Another method that we will leverage is pay-per-use public cloud instances. With this, anyone can spin up RHEL images in the cloud and thus obtain the source code for all packages and errata.Springdale Linux Discussions — While RedHat's action itself is not particularly surprising given somewhat-recent developments with regards to the likes of CentOS Stream, the timing has taken many in the RHEL-compatible-clone world by surprise.Red Hat & Fedora – largely stepping out of this ecosystem - Fedora Mailing-Lists — What Red Hat has done recently is depressing, but not a huge surprise to me. Red Hat struggled repeatedly with how to deal with "the clones".The core idea I always came back to in those discussions was that the value isn't in the bits, but in the stability, services and ecosystem Red Hat enables around the bits.How Red Hat killed its core product—and became a billion-dollar business — To move from small player to big-time enterprise software competitor, Cormier argued that Red Hat had to ditch the freely downloadable Red Hat Linux. Instead, it should replace Red Hat Linux with a more robust enterprise software package that maintained the principles of free (as in freedom) software without actually being free (as in price) to customers.Carl George on Fosstodon — “You should have already been using #CentOS Stream. There, I said it.”NASA secures contract with Rocky Enterprise Linux — NASA/NSSC has a requirement for FY23 CIQ Rocky Enterprise Linux Purchase. Item: CIQ Rocky Enterprise Linux Per Person Advanced - Annual Subscription. Quantity: 3NASA secures contract with Rocky Enterprise Linux (HN Discussion)catercloud.me — Originally, the project consisted of a web framework that glued together several other, more mature open-source projoects, but as scope creep and my own tendency toward re-inventing the wheel rose to the surface, the project’s development became more and more complex, slowly incorporating a lot of components that go way beyond a simple word cloud and into things like natural language processing.Sun, 02 Jul 2023 - 1h 14min - 516 - 516: The Fixer-Upper

Just a bunch of idiots having fun—a photo history of the LAN partyIntroducing Shufflecake — Shufflecake is a tool for Linux that allows creation of multiple hidden volumes on a storage device in such a way that it is very difficult, even under forensic inspection, to prove the existence of such volumes. Each volume is encrypted with a different secret key, scrambled across the empty space of an underlying existing storage medium, and indistinguishable from random noise when not decrypted.Hidden Filesystem Design and Improvement - Elia Anzuoni — We propose a novel design, a scheme called Shufflecake, which targets a more balanced compromise between performance and security. The level of deniability it offers, while not protecting against attacks in the most stringent threat model, is sufficient in many practical scenarios.Tommaso Gagliardoni’s HomepageLinux kernel module for ShufflecakeShufflecake Userland ToolsFedora upgrade failed due to dep failureComparing openSUSE MicroOS and Fedora Silverblue 37Scaling Mastodon is ImpossibleUsing Mastodon for comments on a static blogTwitterToNitter — Bookmarklet that shows the current Twitter page on Nitter.

London Meetup — Sat, Aug 6, 2022, 2:00 PM GMTNewest Version of Systemd Includes Experimental Feature for A/B-Style Updating — "Let's popularize image-based OSes," writes Lennart Poettering, "with modernized security properties built around immutability, SecureBoot, TPM2, adaptability, auto-updating, factory reset, uniformity — built from traditional distribution packages, but deployed via images."Fitting Everything Together — In this blog story I hope to provide that from my personal perspective, i.e. explain how I personally would build an OS and where I personally think OS development with Linux should go.systemd-sysupdate — This tool implements file, directory, or partition based update schemes, supporting multiple parallel installed versions of specific resources in an A/B (or even: A/B/C, A/B/C/D/, …) style. A/B updating means that when one version of a resource is currently being used, the next version can be downloaded, unpacked, and prepared in an entirely separate location, independently of the first, and — once complete — be activated, swapping the roles so that it becomes the used one and the previously used one becomes the one that is replaced by the next update, and so on.Thoughts on software-defined silicon — The benefits to Intel are clear. The company can do price differentiation among its customers in an attempt to extract the maximum revenue from each while simultaneously reducing the number of different hardware products it must carry in its catalog. The revenue stream from a processor will not necessarily stop once the CPU is purchased, and might continue indefinitely. The benefit for customers is not quite so clear. In theory, customers with minimal needs can avoid paying for expensive features they don't use and can "upgrade" their hardware without downtime if their needs change.platform/x86: Add Intel Software Defined Silicon driver — Intel Software Defined Silicon (SDSi) is a post manufacturing mechanism for activating additional silicon features.
