<p>The booming popularity of Linux happened around the same time as the rise of the web. The server world, once proprietary, eventually fell in love with Linux just the same way networking did. But for years after it began growing in popularity, it remained in the background. It powered some of the largest servers, but couldn’t find success on personal devices. That all changed with Google’s release of Android in 2008, and just like that, Linux found its way not only onto phones but onto other consumer devices.</p><p>The same shift from proprietary to open is happening in networking. Specialized hardware that came from one of the “big 3” networking vendors isn’t so necessary anymore. What used to require this specialized hardware can now be done (with horsepower to spare) using off-the-shelf hardware, with Intel CPUs, and with the Linux operating system. Linux unifies the stack, and knowing it is useful for both the network and the rest of the rack. With Linux, networking is far more affordable, more scalable, easier to learn, and more adaptable to the needs of the business.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3240646/linux/linux-then-and-why-you-should-learn-it-now.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here</a></p></section></article>

<p>Back when I started working with computers, understanding the nature of ASCII was exciting. In fact, just knowing how to convert binary to hex was fun.</p><p>That was a lot of years ago — berfore ASCII had yet reached drinking age — but character encoding standards are as important as ever today with the internet being so much a part of our business and our personal lives. They're also more complex and more numerous than you might imagine. So, let’s dive into some of the details of what ASCII is and some of the commands that make it easier to see coding standards in action.</p><h2>Why ASCII?</h2>
<p>ASCII came about to circumvent the problem that different types of electronic systems were storing text in different ways. They all used some form of ones and zeroes (or ONs and OFFs), but the issue of compatibility became important when they needed to interact. So, ASCII was developed primarily to provide encoding consistency. It became a standard in the U.S. in 1960. Initially, ASCII characters used only 7 bits. Some years later, ASCII was extended to use all 8 bits in each byte.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3244135/linux/squinting-at-ascii-on-linux.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here</a></p></section></article>

Dan Walsh from Red Hat has said that on Linux, "<a href="http://dissociatedpress.net/flock-day-two-everything-is-a-container-kinda/" rel="nofollow">everything is a container</a>," reminding me of the days when people claimed that everything on Unix was a file.

Did you do something wrong? Probably not. But something did. And the process that did something wrong has probably at least just been summarily knocked off the CPU. At worst, the kernel may have panicked and abruptly shut the system down.</p><p>For the record, “oops” is NOT an acronym.

<p>Linux and recursion are on very good speaking terms. In fact, a number of Linux commands recurse without ever being asked, while others have to be coaxed with just the right option.</p><p>When is recursion most helpful and how can you use it to make your tasks easier? Let’s run through some useful examples and see.</p><h3 class="body">Easy recursion with ls</h3>
<p>First, the <strong>ls</strong> command seems like a good place to start. This command will only list the files and directories in the current or specified directory unless asked to work a little harder. It will include the contents of directories only if you add a <strong>-R</strong> option. It provides a <strong>-r</strong> option, but that option causes the listing to be in reverse order as shown below, while -R delves into the various subdirectories.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3256288/linux/linux-to-recurse-or-not.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here</a></p></section></article>

<p>Linux history — the record of commands that you’ve used on the command line — can simplify repeating commands and provide some very useful information when you’re trying to track down how recent system or account changes might have come about.</p><p>Two things you need to understand before you begin your sleuthing, however, are that the shell’s command memory can be selective and that dates and times for when commands were run are optional.</p><h3>Basic Linux history</h3>
<p>Let’s first look at how dates and times are recorded when commands are entered on the command line. By default, they are not. The history command simply provides a list of previously used commands. That’s all that is saved in the history file. For bash users, this information all gets stuffed into the .bash_history file; for other shells, it might be just .history.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3256279/linux/linux-command-history-choosing-what-to-remember-and-how.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here</a></p></section></article>

<p>The <strong>ip</strong> command has a lot to tell you about the configuration and state of your network connections, but what do all those words and numbers mean? Let’s take a deep dive in and see what all the displayed values are trying to tell you.</p><p>When you use the <strong>ip a</strong> (or <strong>ip addr</strong>) command to get information on all the network interfaces on your system, you're going to see something like this:</p><pre>$ ip a
1: lo: &lt;LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP&gt; mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: enp0s25: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:1e:4f:c8:43:fc brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

    inet6 fe80::2c8e:1de0:a862:14fd/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
</pre>
<p>The two interfaces on this system — the loopback (lo) and network (enp0s25) — are displayed along with a lot of stats. The "lo" interface is clearly the loopback. We can see the loopback IPv4 address (127.0.0.1) and the loopback IPv6 (<strong>::1</strong>) in the listing. The normal network interface is more interesting.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3262045/linux/checking-your-network-connections-on-linux.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here</a></p></section></article>

<p>No, the title for this post is <i>not</i> a mistake. I’m not referring to the gill-bearing aquatic craniate animals that lack limbs with digits or the shark-shaped magnetic Linux emblem that you might have stuck to your car. The “fish” I’m referring to is a Linux shell and one that’s been around since 2005. Even so, it’s a shell that a lot of Linux users may not be familiar with.</p><aside class="fakesidebar"><strong>Also read: <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/3242170/linux/invaluable-tips-and-tricks-for-troubleshooting-linux.html#tk.nww-fsb">Invaluable tips and tricks for troubleshooting Linux</a> | Sign up: <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/newsletters/signup.html#tk.nww-fsb">Get daily Network World news updates</a></strong></aside>
<p>The primary reason is that fish isn't generally installed by default. In fact, on some distributions, the repository that provides it is one your system probably doesn't access. If you type "which fish" and your system responds simply with another prompt, you might be missing out on an interesting alternative shell. And if your apt-get or yum command can't find what you're looking for, you will probably have to use commands like those shown below to get fish loaded onto your system.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3267209/linux/simplifying-linux-with-fish.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here</a></p></section></article>

<p>Happy 20th Anniversary to Mozilla! Mozilla is <a href="https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2018/03/29/mozilla-marks-20th-anniversary-commitment-better-human-experiences-online">celebrating its 20th anniversary</a> tomorrow by adding four new topics to the Mozilla Manifesto launched in 2007. To summarize, Mozilla is committed to an internet that "includes all the peoples of the earth", "promotes civil discourse, human dignity, and individual expression", "elevates critical thinking, reasoned argument, shared knowledge, and verifiable facts" and "catalyzes collaboration among diverse communities working together for the common good". You can see the full addendum <a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto">here</a>, and Mozilla invites you to share your support via Twitter.</p>

<p>pfSense, the open-source firewall project, <a href="https://www.netgate.com/blog/pfsense-2-4-3-release-now-available.html">announces the new 2.4.3-RELEASE</a>. The update includes many new features, stability fixes, support for new Netgate hardware and several important security patches as well, such as kernel PTI mitigation for Meltdown and IBRS mitigation for Spectre V2.</p>

<p>Trend Micro <a href="intelligence/monero-mining-hiddenminer-android-malware-can-potentially-cause-device-failure">recently discovered a new Android malware called HiddenMiner</a>, which uses an infected device to mine Monero. The report notes that "there is no switch, controller or optimizer in HiddenMiner's code, which means it will continuously mine Monero until the device's resources are exhausted."</p>

<p><a href="https://www.zteusa.com/tempogo">ZTE</a> is now offering the first Android Go smartphone based on the Snapdragon mobile platform. The ZTE Tempo Go "offers a 5.0-inch 854 x 480 display, quad-core 1.1GHz Snapdragon 210 chipset, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, microSD slot, 5MP rear camera, 2MP front shooter, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, and a 2200mAh battery" and sells for $79.</p></div>

about the company's commitment to Linux</a>
after de-listing Steam Machines (it's still available, just not from the main
navigation bar on the site due to low traffic): "While it's true Steam
Machines aren't exactly flying off the shelves, our reasons for striving
towards a competitive and open gaming platform haven't significantly changed.
We're still working hard on making Linux operating systems a great place forgaming and applications." He then went on to say "we're continuing to invest
significant resources in supporting the Vulkan ecosystem, tooling and driver
efforts. We also have other Linux initiatives in the pipe that we're not quite
ready to talk about yet; SteamOS will continue to be our medium to deliver
these improvements to our customers, and we think they will ultimately benefit
the Linux ecosystem at large." (Source: Phoronix's <a href="https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Valve-SteamOS-Reaffirmed">"Valve

<p>Linux kernel developer, free software activist and Google engineer Matthew Garrett discovered that Symantec is using a Linux distro based on the QCA Software Development Kit (QSDK) project: "This is a GPLv2-licensed, open-source platform built around the Linux-based OpenWrt Wi-Fi router operating system" (if true, this means Symantic needs to share the Norton Core Router's code). So, Garrett <a href="https://twitter.com/mjg59/status/981645615833653248">tweeted</a> "Hi @NortonOnline the Norton Core is clearly running Linux and the license requires you to distribute the kernel source code so where can I get it?" (Source: <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/symantec-may-violate-linux-gpl-in-norton-core-router/#ftag=RSSbaffb68">ZDNet</a>.)</p>

<p>The EFF has questions and advice for Google regarding the company's work on "Project Maven", which is "a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) initiative to deploy machine learning for military purposes".

Feral Interactive today released GameMode, an open-source tool that helps Linux users
get the best performance out of their games. According to the press release, "GameMode
instructs your CPU to automatically run in Performance Mode when playing games." <em>Rise of the Tomb Raider</em>,
which is being released later this month, will be the first release to integrate this
tool. GameMode is available now via <a href="https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode">GitHub</a>.

YouTube was hacked this morning, and many popular music videos were defaced, including the
video for the hit song Despacito, as well as videos
by Shakira, Selena Gomez, Drake and Taylor Swift. According to the <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-43712137">BBC story</a>,
"A Twitter account that apparently belongs to one of the hackers posted: 'It's just for
fun, I just use [the] script 'youtube-change-title-video' and I write 'hacked'."

Linux computer maker System76 is moving its manufacturing factory from China to
Denver, Colorado. In an <a href="https://opensource.com/article/18/4/system76-us-manufacturing-plant">interview
with opensource.com</a> about the move and bringing
manufacturing in-house, System 76 marketing director
Louisa Bisio, said "Creating a computer that is open source from the physical design
to the OS is the next step in our mission to empower our customers and the community.
We believe that by leading with open source design, the rest of the industry will have
to follow."

<p>Oregon becomes the second state to pass Net Neutrality law. Governor Kate Brown
<a href="http://katu.com/news/local/oregon-governor-signs-net-neutrality-bill">signed
the bill yesterday</a>, "withholding state business from internet providers who
throttle traffic, making the state the second to finalize a proposal aimed at
thwarting moves by federal regulators to relax net neutrality requirements".

private. You no longer need to nervously laugh it off as a bug when your friends
notice the 4,000+ hours you've put into <em>Ricochet</em>."

<p>Mozilla recently published its annual <a href="https://internethealthreport.org/2018">Internet Health Report</a>. Its three major concerns are:
</p>

<ul><li>
"Consolidation of power over the Internet, particularly by Facebook, Google, Tencent, and Amazon."</li>

<li>
"The spread of 'fake news,' which the report attributes in part to the 'broken online advertising economy' that provides financial incentive for fraud, misinformation, and abuse."</li>

<li>
The threat to privacy posed by the poor security of the Internet of Things.
</li></ul><p>(Source: Ars Technica's <a href="https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/04/mozilla-foundation-report-details-decline-in-health-of-internet">"The Internet has serious health problems, Mozilla Foundation report finds"</a>)
</p>

<p>
Idle power on some Linux systems could drop by 10% or more with the Linux 4.17 kernel, <a href="https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-4.17-Idle-Loop-Power">reports Phoronix</a>. Evidently, that's not all that's in the works regarding power management features: "performance of workloads where the idle loop overhead was previously significant could now see greater gains too". See Rafael Wysocki's <a href="http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1804.1/03723.html?anzwix&show">"More power management updates for v4.17-rc-1" pull request</a>.
</p>

<p>
Google's "not-so-secret" operating system named Fuchsia that's been in development for almost two years has attracted much speculation, but now we finally know what it is <em>not</em>. It's not Linux. According to a <a href="https://www.xda-developers.com/google-documentation-fuchsia-operating-system">post on xda</a>, Google published a documentation page called <a href="https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/docs/+/master/the-book">"the book"</a> that explains what Fuchsia is and isn't. Several details still need to be filled in, but documentation will be added as things develop.
</p>

<p>Instagram will soon allow users to download their data, including photos, videos and messages, according to a TechCrunch <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2018/04/11/download-your-instagram-photos">report</a>: "This tool could make it much easier for users to leave Instagram and go to a competing image social network. And as long as it launches before May 25th, it will help Instagram to comply with upcoming European GDPR privacy law that requires data portability."
</p>

<p>Purism has started its developer docs effort in anticipation of development boards being shipped this summer. According to the <a href="https://puri.sm/posts/librem5-progress-report-10">post on the Purism website</a>, "There will be technical step-by-step instructions that are suitable for both newbies and experienced Debian developers alike. The goal of the docs is to openly welcome you and light your path along the way with examples and links to external documentation." You can see the docs <a href="https://developer.puri.sm">here</a>.

<p>Many people today work on mixed networks, with both <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/3215226/linux/what-is-linux-uses-featres-products-operating-systems.html">Linux</a> and Windows systems playing important roles. Sharing files between the two can be critical at times and is surprisingly easy with the right tools. With fairly little effort, you can copy files from Windows to Linux or Linux to Windows. In this post, we'll look at what is needed to configure your Linux and Windows system to allow you to easily move files from one OS to the other.</p><h2>Copying files between Linux and Windows</h2>
<p>The first step toward moving files between Windows and Linux is to download and install a tool such as PuTTY's pscp. You can get PuTTY from <a href="https://www.putty.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">putty.org</a> and set it up on your Windows system easily. PuTTY comes with a terminal emulator (putty) as well as tools like <strong>pscp</strong> for securely copying files between Linux and Windows systems. When you go to the PuTTY site, you can elect to install all of the tools or pick just the ones you want to use by choosing either the installer or the individual .exe files.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3269189/linux/sharing-files-between-linux-and-windows.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here</a></p></section></article>

The Elisa music player, developed by the KDE community, <a href="https://mgallienkde.wordpress.com/2018/04/12/0-1-release-of-elisa">debuted</a> yesterday, with
version 0.1. Elisa has good integration wtih the Plasma desktop and also supports
other Linux desktop environments, as well as Windows and Android. In addition, the
Elisa release announcement notes, "We are creating a reliable product that is a joy to
use and respects our users' privacy. As such, we will prefer to support online services
where users are in control of their data."
</p>

<p>Mozilla released Firefox 11.0 for iOS yesterday, and this <a href="https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tracking-protection-ios">new version turns on
tracking protection by default</a>. The feature uses a list provided by Disconnect to
identify trackers, and it also provides options for turning it on or off overall or
for specific websites.
</p>

<p>The <a href="https://zenroom.dyne.org">Zenroom</a> project, a brand-new crypto-language
virtual machine, has reached version 0.5.0. Zenroom's goal is "improving people's awareness of how their data is
processed by algorithms, as well facilitate the work of developers to create and
publish algorithms that can be used both client and server side." In addition, it
"has no
external dependencies, is smaller than 1MB, runs in less than 64KiB memory and is
ready for experimental use on many target platforms: desktop, embedded, mobile, cloud
and browsers." The program is free software and is licensed under the GNU LGPL v3.
Its main use case is "distributed computing of untrusted code where advanced
cryptographic functions are required".</p>

ZFS On Linux, recently in the news for data-loss issues, may <a href="https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ZFS-On-Linux-TRIM-Closer">finally
be getting SSD TRIM
support</a>, which has been in the works for years, according to Phoronix.
</p>

<p>System76 recently became a GNOME Foundation Advisory Board member. Neil McGovern,
Executive Director of the GNOME Foundation, commented "System76's long-term ambition
to see free software grow is highly commendable, and we're extremely pleased that
they're coming on board to help support the Foundation and the community." See the <a href="https://betanews.com/2018/04/11/system76-gnome-foundation-advisory-board">betanews

<p>The German government's Federal Information Technology Centre (ITZBund)

reports</a>. Nextcloud was chosen for its strict security requirements and
scalability "both in terms of large numbers of uses and extensibility with
additional features".</p>

<p>European authorities have effectively ended the Whois public database of
domain name registration, which ICANN oversees. According to <em>The
Register</em>, the service isn't compliant with the GDPR and will be illegal
as of May 25th: "ICANN now has a little over a month to come up with a
replacement to the decades-old service that covers millions of domain names
and lists the personal contact details of domain registrants, including their
name, email and telephone number."

Help Canonical test the GNOME desktop memory leak fixes in
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) by downloading and installing the
current daily ISO for your hardware from here: <a href="http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/bionic-desktop-amd64.iso">http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/bionic-desktop-amd64.iso</a>.
Then download the patched version of gjs, install, reboot, and then
just use your desktop normally. If performance seems impacted by the new
packages, re-install from the ISO again, but don't install the new packages
and see if things are better. See the <a href="https://community.ubuntu.com/t/help-test-memory-leak-fixes-in-18-04-lts/5251">Ubuntu
Community page</a> for more detailed instructions.

yesterday
a <a href="https://hubs.mozilla.com">preview release of Hubs</a>, a "new way to get together online within
Mixed Reality, right in your browser." This preview lets you easily create
a "room" online with a click, and you then can meet with others by sharing
the link. When they open the link, they enter your room as
avatars. Mozilla notes that this is "All with no app downloads, walled
gardens, or content gatekeepers, and on any device you wish—and most
importantly, through open source software that respects your privacy and is
built on web standards."

free and open-source software, but with this new third-party repository,
users can "opt-in" to these select extras.</p>

<p>Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.10 beta is <a href="https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/red-hat-enterprise-linux-610-beta-now-available">now
available</a>. According to the release announcement, "6.10 Beta is designed

updated Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 base image. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux
6.10 Beta base image enables customers to migrate their existing Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6 workloads into container-based applications - suitable

Mozilla <a href="https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2018/04/30/a-privacy-conscious-approach-to-sponsored-content">announces</a>
its new privacy-conscious approach to sponsored content. Earlier this year
Mozilla began experimenting with showing a sponsored story occasionally in
Pocket. The company is preparing to go
live with it later this month with the Firefox 60 release. Mozilla stresses that
this new approach must not sacrifice user privacy:
"All personalization happens on the client-side, without needing to vacuum
up all of your personal data or sharing it with others." It also promises
quality content, user control and transparency.

<p>Feral Interactive <a href="https://twitter.com/feralgames/status/991372884105990147/photo/1">tweeted</a><a></a>
yesterday that <em>THRONES OF BRITANNIA</em> will be released for Linux
soon: "We are closing fast on the macOS and Linux versions, and are
currently *aiming* for macOS and Linux releases one to two months after the
Windows release on May 3rd."</p>

<p>
Google Cloud announced this week that NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs (beta) are now
available on Google Computer Engine and Kubernetes Engine. According to the
<a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-cloud-expands-gpu-portfolio-with-nvidia-tesla-v100">ZDNet
story</a>, "The Tesla V100 GPU equates to 100 CPUs, giving customers more
power to handle computationally demanding applications, like machine
learning, analytics, and video processing."
</p>

<p>
LINBIT recently <a href="https://www.linbit.com/en/linbit-introduces-container-native-storage-for-enterprise-applications/?inf_contact_key=872702bd451b6697f57dd575a00d4175761fdd27d220c5c35c23b9dc814472c3">announced</a>
the public beta of LINSTOR, "new open-source software-defined storage
available for Kubernetes and OpenShift environments". According to the LINBIT
announcement, "LINSTOR takes advantage of DRBD, a part of the Linux kernel
for nearly a decade, to deliver fast and reliable data replication. By
simplifying storage cluster configuration and ongoing management, then
plugging into cloud and container front-ends, users get the resilient
infrastructure they need while retaining flexibility to choose vendors."
</p>

<p>
Red Hat and the Kubernetes community yesterday <a href="https://coreos.com/blog/introducing-operator-framework">announced</a> the Operator Framework, a new
open-source toolkit for "managing Kubernetes native applications, called
Operators, in a more effective, automated and scalable way".
They describe the concept like this: "an Operator takes human operational
knowledge and encodes it into software that is more easily packaged and
shared with consumers. Think of an Operator as an extension of the software
vendor's engineering team that watches over your Kubernetes environment
and uses its current state to make decisions in milliseconds."
</p>

<p>
Google Cloud yesterday launched <a href="https://cloud.google.com/composer">Cloud Composer</a> (beta), a "fully
managed workflow orchestration service built on Apache Airflow". Cloud Composer "empowers you to author, schedule, and monitor pipelines that span
across clouds and on-premises data centers". Also, as it is built on the
open-source Apache Airflow project and operated with Python, Cloud Composer
is "free from lock-in and easy to use". See the <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2018/05/01/google-launches-cloud-composer-a-new-workflow-automation-tool-for-developers">TechCrunch
story</a> for more details.

Facebook has open-sourced its PyTorch 1.0 AI framework. Facebook was using
the framework in-house for its machine learning projects, but now it is free
for developers to use as well. According to the <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/facebook-open-sources-pytorch-1-0-ai-framework">story
on ZDNet</a>, "PyTorch 1.0 integrates PyTorch's research-oriented aspects
with the modular, production-focused capabilities of Caffe2, a popular deep
learning framework and ONNX (Open Neural Network Exchange), an open format
to represent deep learning models."
</p>

<p>
Kitty malware is targeting Drupal to mine for cryptocurrency. <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/hello-kitty-malware-targets-drupal-to-mine-for-cryptocurrency">ZDNet
reports</a> that
"The vulnerability allows threat actors to employ various attack vectors to
compromise Drupal websites. Scanning, backdoor implementation, and
cryptocurrency mining are all possible, as well as a data theft and account
hijacking." And even worse, "the malware is also commanded to infect other
web resources with a mining script dubbed me0w.js", which attacks any future
visitors of the web site as well.
</p>

<p>The Steam Controller team <a href="https://steamcommunity.com/games/353370/announcements/detail/1648757912601251834">announced</a>
yesterday that the latest Steam Client beta supports the Nintendo Switch Pro
Controller. The announcement adds that "the d-pad is ideal for fighting games
and platformers and the gyro enhances aim in your action/FPS titles."
</p>

<p>GCC 8.1 was <a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2018-05/msg00017.html">released</a>
yesterday. This is a major release and contains "substantial new
functionality not available in GCC 7.x or previous GCC releases". See this
<a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-8/changes.html">page</a> for a summary of
the "huge number of improvements", including improvements to
inter-procedural, profile-driven and link-time optimizations.
</p>

<p>The <a href="https://news.opensuse.org/2018/05/03/results-in-for-opensuse-board-elections">results
are in</a> for openSUSE's board election: Gertjan Lettink (Knurpht), Simon
Lees and Ana Maria Martinez will serve a two-year term. Congrats to the
winners!

<p><em>Star Wars: Jedi Challenges</em> is getting a free update called
"Lightsaber Versus Mode", which adds local multiplayer to the previously
single-player game, <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2018/5/4/17315834/star-wars-jedi-challenges-lenovo-mirage-two-player-lightsaber-duel-update">The
Verge</a> reports. The update is available on the Google Play store, but it
also requires two of the Lenovo Mirage AR systems, two
headsets, two lightsaber controllers and two light-up tracking beacons set
to different colors. For this game, you can't "just hack
away at your opponent; it procedurally generates a battle, using familiar
elements from the single-player dueling mode".
</p>

<p>
The Arch Linux 2018.05.01 snapshot was released this week. This is the first
to include the Linux 4.16 kernel, with mitigations for Meltdown and Spectre,
updates for several drivers, improved KVM support and more. Note that this
snapshot is only for new deployments. (Source: <a href="https://news.softpedia.com/news/first-arch-linux-iso-snapshot-powered-by-linux-kernel-4-16-is-here-520965.shtml">Softpedia
News</a>.)
</p>

<p>Google today announced the release of version 0.1 of the open-source Kubeflow
tool, which is "designed to bring machine learning to Kubernetes
containers". According to <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2018/05/04/google-kubeflow-machine-learning-for-kubernetes-begins-to-take-shape">TechCrunch</a>, "the idea behind the project is to
enable data scientists to take advantage of running machine learning jobs on
Kubernetes clusters. Kubeflow lets machine learning teams take existing jobs
and simply attach them to a cluster without a lot of adapting."
</p>

<p>Google also has open-sourced gVisor, a new way to sandbox containers to
"provide a secure isolation boundary between the host operating system and
the application running within the container", <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-open-sources-gvisor-a-sandboxed-container-runtime">ZDNet
reports</a>. gVisor's core is "is a kernel that runs as a
normal, unprivileged process that supports most Linux system calls. This
kernel, like LXD, is written in Go, which was chosen for its memory- and
type-safety".
</p>

<p>According to <a href="https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/05/03/just_your_monthly_reminder_that_the_spectre_bug_is_still_out_there">The
Register</a>, "researchers have unearthed a fresh new set of ways attackers
could potentially exploit data-leaking Spectre CPU vulnerabilities in Intel
chips". Currently, there is only information on Intel's plans for patches,
but there is evidence that some ARM CPUs also are vulnerable.

<p>The <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/3215226/linux/what-is-linux-uses-featres-products-operating-systems.html">Linux</a> kernel is modular — composed of modules that work together but are largely independent of each other. New functionality can be added when a kernel module is loaded, but there are times when you might need to block functionality because modules interfere with each other or leave a system vulnerable. When that is the case, you can restrict what modules the kernel is able to use by blacklisting the troublemakers. This blocks them from being loaded.</p><h2>Listing Kernel modules</h2>
<p>You can list kernel modules with the <strong>lsmod</strong> command. For a taste of what you’re likely to see, the <strong>lsmod</strong> command below shows us the top of the lsmod command output on a sample system.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3270624/linux/blacklisting-modules-on-linux.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here</a></p></section></article>

<p>NVIDIA today announced the availability of <a href="https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/deep-learning-ai/industries/robotics/#source=pr">NVIDIA
Isaac</a>. Isaac is "a new platform to power the next generation of autonomous
machines, bringing artificial intelligence capabilities to robots for
manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, construction and many other
industries." At the heart of Isaac is <a href="https://developer.nvidia.com/jetson-xavier#source=pr">NVIDIA Jetson

<p>Helm became its own standalone project last week, TechCrunch <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2018/06/01/helm-moves-out-of-kubernetes-shadow-to-become-stand-alone-project">reports</a>. Previously, it was a
subproject of Kubernetes, but it's now a separate program as it doesn't always
follow the same release schedule as Kubernetes. Helm allows you to package up a set of requirements
into "charts", so you can repeat the installation process in a consistent
way, this helps developers "benefit from the community, who
could build Charts for common installation scenarios".
</p>

<p>FreeBSD 11.2-RC1 is <a href="https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2018-June/089053.html">now
available</a>. This is the first RC build of the 11.2 release cycle, it
includes a "fix to flush caches before initiating a microcode update on
  Intel CPUs", "Wake On LAN features for Ice Lake and Cannon Lake devices has
been
  activated" and more.

Google has <a href="https://blog.google/topics/ai/ai-principles">announced
its seven principles</a> for AI development moving forward: "be socially
beneficial; avoid creating or reinforcing unfair bias; be built and tested
for safety; be accountable to people; incorporate privacy design principles;
uphold high standards of scientific excellence; and be made available for
uses that accord with these principles."
</p>

<p>In other AI news, <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/06/07/psychopathic-ai-Norman-reddit-data-bias">Engadget
reports</a> that scientists have created a psychopathic AI called Norman using images from
Reddit. Scientists from MIT exposed Norman (named after the <em>Psycho</em>
movie character) "to a constant stream of violent and gruesome images from
the darkest corners of Reddit, and then presented it with Rorschach ink blot
tests. The results were downright chilling."

Act now to stop the EU's web censorship plan. The Legal Affairs Committee of
the European Parliament is voting on June 20 on the proposed reform of EU 
copyright rules. According to the <a href="https://creativecommons.org/2018/06/08/act-now-to-stop-the-eus-plan-to-censor-the-web">Creative
Commons story</a>, "the final copyright directive will have deep and lasting
effects on the ability to create and share, to access and use education and
research, and to support and grow diverse content platforms and information
services. As it stands now, the copyright reform—especially Article
13—is a direct threat to the open web." If you're in the EU, you can go
to <a href="https://saveyourinternet.eu">https://saveyourinternet.eu</a> and ask Members of the European
Parliament to delete Article 13 from the copyright directive.
</p>

<p>The first official release of Qt for Python (Pyside2) is now available.
It's based on Qt 5.11, and the project will follow the general Qt release
schedule and versions. It's available for open-source and commercial Qt
Development users. See the <a href="http://blog.qt.io/blog/2018/06/13/qt-python-5-11-released">Qt blog
post</a> for more details and links to download packages.
</p>

<p>
Notepad++ is now available as a Snap package for Linux, <a href="https://itsfoss.com/notepad-plus-plus-linux">It's FOSS reports</a>. The
package actually runs through Wine, but you don't need to set up Wine first.
For Ubuntu users, Notepad++ is available in the Software Center.
</p>

<p>Facebook has released its Sonar debugging tool to the Open Source
community, <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/facebook-releases-sonar-debugging-tool-to-the-open-source-community">ZDNet
reports</a>. Sonar was developed by Facebook engineers "to help them manage
the social network, including the implementation of new features, bug
hunting, and performance optimization." By releasing Sonar, the hope is to
give programmers a tool to help accelerate app development
and deployment.
