Sven Hoexter: htop on stage in the theatre
http://sven.stormbind.net/blog/posts/misc_htop_in_the_theatre/
June 14, 2023, 9:28 AM
Always amusing to see some more or less famous
open source tools on stage or in movies. Lately
we watched THE ME
(german only) which is mixing live playing of actors and pre
recorded video material. In one of the early video sequences a
fictional console interface is displayed, claiming to be running
on a Macbook, and htop
is used to look for a suspicious process.

Dirk Eddelbuettel: sanitizers 0.1.1 on CRAN: Updated and Expanded
http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2023/06/11#sanitizers_0.1.1
June 11, 2023, 6:35 PM
The second release of the sanitizers
package is now on CRAN. sanitizers
provides ‘true positives’ for programming errors detected by Address
Sanitizers and friends. This permits validation of the setup when
chasing such bug reports: it allows us to ascertain that the compiler
(and instrumented R version) are correctly set up and the errors we
expect to be reported are in fact reported.
Almost nine years (!!) since the first release, this update brings an
added integer overflow sanitizer cont...

Michael Prokop: What to expect from Debian/bookworm #newinbookworm
https://michael-prokop.at/blog/2023/06/11/what-to-expect-from-debian-bookworm-newinbookworm/
June 11, 2023, 9:50 AM
Debian v12 with codename bookworm was released as new stable release on 10th of June 2023. Similar to what we had with #newinbullseye and previous releases, now it’s time for #newinbookworm!
I was the driving force at several of my customers to be well prepared for bookworm. As usual with major upgrades, there are some things to be aware of, and hereby I’m starting my public notes on bookworm that might be worth also for other folks. My focus is primarily on server systems and looking at thi...

Thomas Lange: New FAI ISO images for bookworm available and FAI Live ISO

June 11, 2023, 9:30 AM
After Debian 12 aka bookworm was released yesterday, I've also created
new FAI ISO images using Debian 12.
The defaut ISO (large) uses FAI 6.0.3, kernel 6.1 and can install the
XFCE and GNOME desktop without internet connection, since all needed
packages are included into the ISO. Additional you can install Ubuntu
22.04 or Rocky Linux 9 with this FAI ISO. During these installations,
the packages will be downloade via network.
There's also the variant FAI ISO UBUNTU, which includes all Ubuntu

With yesterdays
release of Debian

the interactive
application firewall OpenSnitch is available for a wider audience.
I have been running it for a few weeks now, and have been surprised
about some of the programs connecting to the Internet. Some programs
are obviously calling out from my machine, like the NTP network based
clock adjusting system and Tor to reach other Tor clients, but others
were more dubious. For example, the KDE Window manager try to look u...

People are working quietly, cross-checking, reading back steps and running individual steps - we're really almost there for the install media.Just had a friendly, humorous meal out by the barbeque in Sledge's garden. It's been quite a long day but we're just finished.All this and then we'll probably have the first point release for Bookworm 12.1 in about a month. That will contain some few fixes which came in at the last minute and any other issues we've found today.BOOKWORM IS HERE!!...

Marco d'Itri: On having a track record in operating systems development
https://blog.bofh.it/debian/id_467
June 10, 2023, 5:00 PM
Now that Debian 12 has been released with proprietary firmwares on the official media, non-optional merged-/usr and systemd adopted by everybody, I want to take a moment to list, not without some pride, a few things that I was right about over the last 20 years:
Distribution of proprietary firmwares (#33,
#40,
#114)
udev
systemd (#454)
merged-/usr
Accepting the obvious solution about firmwares took 18 years. My work on the merged-/usr transition started in 2014, and the first discussions abo...

Steinar H. Gunderson: plocate 1.1.19 released
http://blog.sesse.net/blog/tech/2023-06-10-16-15_plocate_1_1_19_released.html
June 10, 2023, 3:15 PM
I've released version 1.1.19 of plocate;
this was mostly to get compatibility with liburing 2.4 out the door.
The fix (an external contribution; thanks!) had lingered in git for a while,
but evidently, onw it's reached distributions and more people were starting
to notice.
On a related notice, the user base seems to be growing, and also changing
a bit. I usually say that as an open-source maintainer, what you want
isn't users; you want patches. Users generally come with questions and
bugs, and ...

Jonathan Carter: Phone upgraded to Debian 12
https://jonathancarter.org/2023/06/09/phone-upgraded-to-debian-12/
June 9, 2023, 5:17 PM
A long time ago, before the pandemic, I bought a Librem 5 phone from Purism. I also moved home since then, and sadly my phone was sleeping peacefully in a box in the garage since I moved.
When I was in Hamburg last month, I saw how great Mobian and Phosh was coming along, and this inspired me to go dig up the Librem 5 which was about 2 Debian releases behind, and upgrade it to the latest and greatest version.
I followed the instruction on the Debian wiki, and after some stumbles, managed t...

Wouter Verhelst: Planet Debian rendered with PtLink

June 9, 2023, 7:52 AM
As I blogged
before,
I've been working on a Planet
Venus replacement. This is
necessary, because Planet Venus, unfortunately, has not been maintained
for a long time, and is a Python 2 (only) application which has never
been updated to Python 3.
Python not being my language of choice, and my having plans to do far
more than just the "render RSS streams" functionality that Planet Venus
does, meant that I preferred to write "something else" (in Perl) rather
than updating Planet Venus to modern Py...

Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer: Adventures in Debian's Qt land
https://perezmeyer.com.ar/blog/2023/06/08/adventures_in_debian_s_qt_land/
June 8, 2023, 3:00 AM
Debian (I might as well say "we", this is the beauty of it) is about to release Debian 12 aka Bookworm. Let's take a quick look at what is new in Debian Qt land.
Qt 5
Bookworm has Qt 5.15.8, which is nothing but great news. KDE will be switching to Qt 6 sooner than later and Qt 5 has been a fun ride, but Dmitry Shachnev and I needed a break, or at very least not handling two Qt versions. But in the end I need to be fair: you REALLY need to thank Dmitry for Qt 5. He has been the man power behind ...

Steinar H. Gunderson: Faster accurate range reduction
http://blog.sesse.net/blog/tech/2023-06-06-22-14_faster_accurate_range_reduction.html
June 6, 2023, 9:14 PM
Pretty much everybody who learns geometry and trigonometry starts off
by representing angles in degrees. One circle is 360 degrees; it's a
bit of a strange number, but it's highly composite (so a lot of fractions can
be represented as whole numbers) and has traditions supposedly going
back to the Babylonians.
However, there's nothing “natural” about 360; you could just as well
use e.g. 3600 and nothing would really get easier or harder. When going
into trigonometry, thus eventually most peo...

Russell Coker: PinePhonePro First Impression

June 6, 2023, 1:24 PM
Hardware
I received my PinePhone Pro [1] on Thursday, it seems in many ways better than the Purism Librem 5 [2] that I have previously written about. The PinePhone is thinner, lighter, and yet has a much longer battery life. A friend described the Librem5 as “the CyberTruck phone” and not in a good way.
In a test I had my PinePhone and my Librem5 fully charged, left them for 4.5 hours without doing anything much with them, and then the PinePhone was at 85% and the Librem5 was at 57%. So the ...

After determining that the Philips 43″ monitor was too large for my taste as well as not having a clear enough display [1] I bought a Dell 32″ 4K monitor for $499 on the 1st of July 2022. That monitor has been working nicely for almost a year now, for DisplayPort it’s operation is perfect and 32″ seems like an ideal size for my use. There is one problem that both HDMI ports will sometimes turn off for about half a second, I’ve tested on both ports and on multiple computers as well as a...

Shirish Agarwal: Odisha Train Crash and Coverup, Demonetization 2.0 & NHFS-6 Survey

June 6, 2023, 7:12 AM
Just a few days back we came to know about the horrific Train Crash that happened in Odisha (Orissa). There are some things that are known and somethings that can be inferred by observance. Sadly, it seems the incident is going to be covered up . Some of the facts that have not been contested in the public domain are that there were three lines. One loop line on which the Goods Train was standing and there was an up and a down line. So three lines were there. Apparently, the signalling system a...

Mystery was solved by adding “providers legacy default” to the
