<p>There are quite a few control sequences available on Linux systems— many I use routinely, and some I've only just recently discovered— and they can be surprisingly useful. In today's post, we're going to run through a series of them and take a look at what they do and how they might be useful.</p><p>To start, unless you're brand spanking new to the command line, you are undoubtedly familiar with the <strong>ctrl-c</strong> sequence that is used to terminate a running command. In print, this same sequence might be expressed as <strong>^c</strong> or <strong>control-c</strong> and sometimes the "c" will be capitalized, but the expression always means "hold the control key and press the key specified — with no shift key or hyphen involved.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3284105/linux/linux-control-sequence-tricks.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here</a></p></section></article>

<p>The <strong>rm</strong> command easily makes files disappear from our file listings, but what does it actually do and how can we ensure that files are unlikely to be recoverable?</p><h2>A little background on Linux file removal</h2>
<p>To understand what happens when you remove a file from a Linux system with rm, first think about <strong>inodes</strong> — those intriguing data structures that keep track of all of a file's attributes (often called "metadata") — that describe the file. This includes its name, its owner and group, what permissions have been established, and where the file's contents can be found on the disk.</p><p>Next, think about Linux directories. While they take the appearance and character of folders (i.e., merely containers for holding files), they are actually files themselves — files that include no more than the names and inode numbers of the files they "contain." So, what we get is a convenient way to <i>think</i> about directories and files in the same way you might think about the folders and paperwork in your file cabinets (if any of you still have one of those).</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3284929/linux/shredding-files-on-linux.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here</a></p></section></article>

<p>Quick to install, safe to run, easy to update, and dramatically easier to maintain and support, snaps represent a big step forward in Linux software development and distribution. Starting with Ubuntu and now available for Arch Linux, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo Linux, and openSUSE, snaps offer a number of significant advantages over traditional application packaging.</p><p>Compared to traditional packages, snaps are:</p><ul>
<li>Easier for developers to build</li>
<li>Faster to install</li>
<li>Automatically updated</li>
<li>Autonomous</li>
<li>Isolated from other apps</li>
<li>More secure</li>
<li>Non-disruptive (they don't interfere with other applications)</li>
</ul>
<h2>So, what are snaps?</h2>
<p>Snaps were originally designed and built by Canonical for use on Ubuntu. The service might be referred to as “snappy,” the technology “snapcraft,” the daemon “snapd,” and the packages “snaps,” but they all refer to a new way that Linux apps are prepared and installed. Does the name “snap” imply some simplification of the development and installation process?

<h2>Gentoo GitHub hack: What happened?</h2>
<p>Late last month (June 28), the Gentoo GitHub repository was attacked after someone gained control of an admin account. All access to the repositories was soon removed from Gentoo developers. Repository and page content were altered. But within 10 minutes of the attacker gaining access, someone noticed something was going on, 7 minutes later a report was sent, and within 70 minutes the attack was over. Legitimate Gentoo developers were shut out for 5 days while the dust settled and repairs and analysis were completed.</p><p>The attackers also attempted to add "rm -rf" commands to some repositories to cause user data to be recursively removed.

Neptune OS released V5.4, which is a complete update with many enhancements
and fixes to the Debian-based distro. New features include a GUI
makeover with dark themes in mind, increased hardware support, and several
software and app updates. See the <a href="https://appuals.com/latest-neptune-os-5-4-brings-many-application-improvements-and-bugfixes">post
on Appuals</a> for all the details and the changelog.
</p>

<p><a href="http://www.slax.org/en/blog/24886-Slax-9.5.0-released.html">Slax
9.5.0 has been released</a>. Slax is a "minimalistic, fully modular
operating system", and you can purchase it "preinstalled on an USB flash
drive with hardware-based AES encryption. This device is universally usable
because the encryption is performed directly by the drive itself, there is
no software to install needed. Once disconnected, the USB drive
automatically locks itself again". Payment is accepted only via Bitcoin.

Linux kernel 4.18-rc6 was released. Linus commented "So this was the week
when the other shoe dropped....The reason the
two previous rc releases were so nice and small was that David hadn't
sent me much networking fixes, and they came in this week.
That said, it's not really a huge rc this week either, so it's all
good." Source: <a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/760527">LWN.net</a>.

GNOME developers are redesigning its icons, so your desktop will soon be
more colorful, <a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/07/gnome-icon-redesign">OMG Ubuntu
reports</a>. In addition, "GNOME is deprecating the use of tiny icon sizes
in favour of symbolic icons, and will only require devs to ship a
'single, scalable, high resolution' app icon."

KDE Applications 18.08 has begun beta testing with version 18.07.80, and the release is scheduled
for August 16, 2018. The software suite is adding two new libraries:
KPkPass (for reading Apple Wallet pass files) and KItinerary (which consists of "itinerary extraction code and itinerary
data model used for data model, data extraction, and data augmentation").

<p>Red Hat's <em>Road to A.I.</em> film has been chosen as an entry in the
19th Annual Real to Reel International Film Festival. According to the <a href="https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/open-source-stories-film-road-ai-selected-its-sixth-film-festival">Red
Hat blog post</a>, this "documentary film looks at the current state of the
emerging autonomous vehicle industry, how it is shaping the future of
public transportation, why it is a best use case for advancing artificial
intelligence and how open source can fill the gap between the present and
the future of autonomy." <em>The Road to A.I.</em> is the fourth in Red
Hat's Open Source Stories
series, and you can view it <a href="https://www.redhat.com/en/open-source-stories/road-to-ai">here</a>.
</p>

<p>Google <a href="https://www.blog.google/products/chrome/milestone-chrome-security-marking-http-not-secure">officially has begun marking HTTP connections as not secure for
all Chrome users</a>, as it promised in a security announcement two years ago.
The goal is eventually "to make it so that the only markings
you see in Chrome are when a site is not secure, and the default unmarked
state is secure". Also, beginning in October 2018, Chrome will start showing a red
"not secure" warning when users enter data on HTTP pages.
</p>

<p>BlueData launched the BlueK8s project, which is an "open source project
that seeks to make it easier to deploy big data and artificial intelligence
(AI) application workloads on top of Kubernetes", <a href="https://containerjournal.com/2018/07/24/bluedata-launches-open-source-kubernetes-storage-project">Container
Journal reports</a>. The BlueK8s "project is based on container
technologies the company developed originally to accelerate the deployment
of big data based on Hadoop and Apache Spark software".
</p>

<p>According to the latest Kaspersky Lab report, Linux bots now account for
95% of all DDoS attacks. A <a href="https://betanews.com/2018/07/24/linux-ddos-attacks">post on Beta
News</a> reports that these attacks are based on some rather old
vulnerabilities, such as one in the Universal Plug-and-Play protocol, which has
been around since 2001, and one in the CHARGEN protocol, which was first
described in 1983. See also the <a href="https://securelist.com/ddos-report-in-q2-2018/86537">Kaspersky Lab
blog</a> for more Q2 security news.
</p>

<p>BitTorrent has been bought by Tron, a blockchain startup, for "around $126
million in cash". <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/07/25/blockchain-company-tron-buys-bittorrent">According
to the story on Engadget</a>, Tron's founder Justin Sun says that this deal
now makes his company the "largest decentralized Internet ecosystem in the world."

<p>
<a href="https://edu.kde.org/kstars">A new version of KStars</a>—the free, open-source,
cross-platform astronomy software—was released today. Version 2.9.7
includes new features, such as improvements to the polar alignment assistant
and support for Ekos Live, as well as stability fixes. See the <a href="http://knro.blogspot.com/2018/07/kstars-v297-is-released.html">release
notes</a> for all the changes.
</p>

<p>Google yesterday <a href="https://www.blog.google/products/google-cloud/bringing-intelligence-to-the-edge-with-cloud-iot">announced
two new products</a>: Edge TPU, a new "ASIC chip designed to run TensorFlow
Lite ML models at the edge", and Cloud IoT Edge, which
is "a software stack that extends Google Cloud's powerful AI capability to
gateways and connected devices". Google states that "By running on-device
machine learning models, Cloud IoT Edge with Edge TPU provides significantly
faster predictions for critical IoT applications than general-purpose IoT
gateways—all while ensuring data privacy and confidentiality."
</p>

<p>The state of Lower Saxony in Germany is set to migrate away from Linux and
back to Windows, following Munich's similar decision, <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-scores-a-win-over-linux-as-another-state-decides-to-switch">ZDNet
reports</a>. The state currently has 13,000 workstations running openSUSE that
it plans to migrate to "a current version of Windows" because "many of its
field workers and telephone support services already use Windows, so
standardisation makes sense". It's unclear how many years this migration will
take.
</p>

<p><a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2018-07/msg00378.html">GCC 8.2 was
released today</a>. This release is a bug-fix release and contains "important
fixes for regressions and serious bugs in
GCC 8.1 with more than 99 bugs fixed since the previous release", according to
Jakub Jelinek's release statement. You can download GCC 8.2 <a href="http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp">here</a>.

<p>Kata Containers, the lightweight, fast booting, open-source VM, is now
available as a Snap from the Snap Store. According to the <a href="https://blog.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu blog post</a>, "Kata Containers are
compatible with the OCI specification for Docker and CRI for Kubernetes which
means they can be managed like a traditional container. Its agnostic design
allows Kata Containers to run on multiple architectures like amd64, ppc64 and
aarch64 with different hypervisors including QEMU."

<p>
The first point release for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS was <a href="https://blog.ubuntu.com/2018/07/26/first-point-release-of-18-04-lts-available-today">released
yesterday</a>. New in 18.04.1 is the move from Unity to GNOME Shell, Captive
Portal, Night Light, color emojis and more. You can download it from <a href="https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop?_ga=2.17372025.1593535746.1532694447-1286166779.1531161789">here</a>.
</p>

<p>There's a new network-based Spectre V1-style attack vulnerability called
NetSpectre that "doesn't require exploited code to be running on the target
machine", <a href="https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NetSpectre">Phoronix
reports</a>. However, "if your system is patched against the other known
Spectre vulnerabilities, it's believed you should be largely safe from
NetSpectre." See the <a href="https://misc0110.net/web/files/netspectre.pdf">whitepaper</a> for more
info on this speculative attack vulnerability.</p>

<p>IBM and Google announced a new open-source serverless cloud
computing project this week called Knative. According to <a>eWeek</a>,
Knative "will serve as a bridge
for serverless computing to coexist and integrate with containers atop Google
Kubernetes in a cloud-native computing system".

The Google Play Store has banned cryptocurrency mining apps. Its
new policy states "We don't allow apps that mine cryptocurrency on devices",
and the company will begin removing apps from the store that violate this
policy. See the <a href="https://mobile.slashdot.org/story/18/07/26/2242226/google-bans-cryptocurrency-mining-apps-from-the-play-store?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&utm_medium=feed">Slashdot

Dell's XPS 13 Developer Edition laptop with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS preinstalled is now
available. According to <a href="https://blog.ubuntu.com/2018/07/27/dell-xps13-developer-edition-ships-with-ubuntu-18-04-lts-pre-installed?_ga=2.65033198.1997837356.1532591964-828934968.1532591964">Canonical's

to certify Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on the XPS 13 to ensure a seamless experience from
first use." You can purchase one in the US via <a href="https://www.dell.com/en-us">Dell.com</a>, and they will be available in

<p>The GCC conversion from Subversion to Git is not going well, and the
problem is more complex than Eric S. Raymond needing more RAM as he originally
thought. According to
the <a href="https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GCC-Git-Complexities">story
on Phoronix</a> regarding the conversion, Raymond said, "that light at the end
of the tunnel turned out to be an oncoming train." He went on to say "The GCC
repo is just too large and weird...My tools need to get a lot faster, like
more than an order of magnitude faster, before digging out of the bad
situation the conversion is now in will be practical. Hardware improvements
won't do that. Nobody knows how to build a machine that can crank a single
process enough faster than 1.3GHz. And the problem doesn't parallelize."

The Lubuntu Linux distro is shifting from being an OS for older PCs to a
modular and modern one. <a href="https://news.softpedia.com/news/future-lubuntu-releases-won-t-focus-on-old-pcs-will-offer-a-modular-linux-os-522141.shtml">Softpedia
News</a> quotes Lubuntu developer Simon Quigley as saying "We decided that
going forward, we need to adapt for the current state of the market." He also stated that Lubuntu would be a "functional yet modular
distribution focused on getting out of the way and letting users use their
computer".

<p>
The OpenMW team <a href="https://openmw.org/2018/openmw-0-44-0-released">announces the release of
version 0.44.0</a> of the "free, open source and modern" Morrowind engine. The new release brings several bug fixes and new features,
including "a search bar for spells, a tab for advanced settings in the launcher,
and multiple quicksaves." You can download it from <a href="https://openmw.org/downloads">here</a>, and also view the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abbQKIiqHDU">release commentary video</a>.

Serverless, Inc, has announced a $10 million Series A round led by
Lightspeed Ventures,
<a href="https://techcrunch.com/2018/07/30/serverless-inc-lands-10-m-series-a-to-build-serverless-developers-platform">TechCrunch
reports</a>. In addition, the company also announced the release of the
Serverless Platform, including the Serverless Framework, Serverless
Dashboard and Serverless Gateway: "the Framework lets developers set up their
serverless code across different cloud platforms and set conditions on the
deployment such as function rules and infrastructure dependencies." The
framework and gateway are open source, and the company will charge for "use of
the dashboard to get insights into their serverless code or to access a hosted
version of the gateway". You can host your own version of the gateway via the
open-source version of the product.

The Linux Mint team <a href="https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3629">announces</a>
the LMDE 3 "Cindy" Cinnamon Beta release. LMDE stands for Linux Mint Debian
Edition, and its goal is "to see how viable
the distribution would be and how much work would be necessary if Ubuntu was
ever to disappear". It's as similar as possible to Linux Mint, but doesn't
use Ubuntu. See the <a href="https://linuxmint.com/rel_cindy.php">release
notes</a> for more information, and note that this is a beta release, not
intended for production environments.
</p>

<p>IPFire 2.21 - Core Update 122 has been released. According to the <a href="https://www.ipfire.org/news/ipfire-2-21-core-update-122-released">official
release announcement</a>, this update of the open-source firewall distribution
is rebased on the long-term
supported Linux kernel 4.14 and includes many improvements and bug fixes. The
announcement also notes that the update is split into two parts: "First, you
will need to install IPFire 2.19 - Core Update 121 and then, the second
part will automatically be installed after. Please be patient and let the
system complete the update. When everything is done, please reboot into the
new kernel."
</p>
<p><a href="https://blog.mozilla.org/opendesign/evolving-the-firefox-brand">Mozilla
is redesigning its Firefox icon</a>, and its team of product and

<p>The <a href="https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-08/msg00003.html">GNU C
Library version 2.28 was released</a> this morning. New features include
localization data for ISO 14651 has been updated to match Edition 4, introducing significant improvements to the collation of Unicode
characters; it now can be compiled with support for Intel CET, aka
  Intel Control-flow Enforcement Technology; it now supports ABSOLUTE
symbols; and more. Packages for the 2.28 release are available from
<a href="http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libc">http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libc</a> or
<a href="http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libc">http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libc</a>.
</p>

<p>Purism <a href="https://puri.sm/posts/librem5-progress-report-16">posted an
update on the Librem 5's communication apps</a> yesterday. The "Calls" app is
not only for regular calls, but is "designed to integrate a much higher level of
security and privacy through end to end encrypted technologies in a very
transparent way". You can see the repository of designs for the Calls app <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/Community/Design/app-mockups/tree/master/calls">here</a>.
The plan for the "Messages" app is "to be able to handle regular text messages
(SMS) while also handling secure end-to-end encrypted messages in a
transparent way between two compatible devices", and that repository is
available <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/Community/Design/app-mockups/tree/master/messages">here</a>.
</p>

<p>
Istio, the open-source service mesh, released version 1.0 yesterday. According
to the <a href="https://www.lightreading.com/enterprise-cloud/infrastructure-and-platform/ibm-and-google-launch-istio-cloud-software-but-amazon-and-microsoft-skip-the-party/d/d-id/745021">post
on Light Reading</a>, "Istio provides visibility into container
performance, support for user testing, updating controls and security for
service interactions. The availability of version 1.0 of the software means
those features are locked down, ready for deployment in production
applications, and developers can write software to those features without
worrying that the apps will break due to changes in future versions, as future
Istio versions will be backwards-compatible with 1.0."
</p>

<p>
The 4.18 kernel will be delayed one week, <a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/761393">LWN reports</a>, due to "some
late-discovered problems".
Linus Torvalds posted on LKML: "I
_prefer_ just the regular cadence of releases, but when I have a
reason to delay, I'll delay."
</p>

<p>The city of Rome is <a href="https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/news/champions-league">switching to
open-source LibreOffice</a>. The city installed
LibreOffice alongside the proprietary alternative on all of its 14,000 PC
workstations in April and is gradually making the change. There are 112 staff
members called "innovation champions", who are in favour of free and open
source, and who are helping with the switch by explaining the reasons for
changing to open source and training co-workers (source: <a href="https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/news/champions-league">Open Source
Observatory</a>).

<p>The Mozilla IoT team announced the 0.5 release of
the Things Gateway this morning, which is "packed full of new features including
customisable devices, a more powerful rules engine, an interactive floorplan
and an experimental smart assistant you can talk to." If you want to try out this new version of the gateway, you can download it from <a href="https://iot.mozilla.org/gateway">here</a> and use it on your Raspberry
Pi. According to the press release, "A powerful new 'capabilities'
system means that devices are no longer restricted to a predefined set of Web
Thing Types, but can be assembled from an extensible schema-based system of
'<a href="https://iot.mozilla.org/wot/#context-member">capabilities</a>'
through our new <a href="https://iot.mozilla.org/schemas">schema</a> repository.
This means that developers have much more flexibility to create weird and
wacky devices, and users have more control over how the device is used."
</p>
<p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/93qnm5/we_had_a_security_incident_heres_what_you_need_to">Reddit
announces it had a security incident</a>: an attacker "managed to access some user data,
including some current email addresses and a 2007 database backup containing
old salted and hashed passwords. Since then we've been conducting a
painstaking investigation to figure out just what was accessed, and to improveour systems and processes to prevent this from happening again." If you
haven't changed your Reddit login password since 2007, you probably should do
it now.

Docker is moving to a new release and support cycle for its Community Edition
(CE) releases, <a href="https://www.serverwatch.com/server-news/docker-18.06-ce-debuts-alongside-new-release-cadence.html">ServerWatch
reports</a>. New Docker CE versions will come out every
six months, and each new CE release will be supported for seven months. The
next CE Stable release is due out in September. Docker CE Edge releases will
move to a faster cycle—from monthly to nightly builds.

The Linux Foundation's <a href="https://www.linux.com/blog/2018/8/edgex-adds-security-and-reduces-footprint-california-release">EdgeX Foundry announced its second major release,
"California"</a>. This new release of the EdgeX IoT middleware for edge
computing adds security features, such as reverse proxy and secure credentials
storage. In addition, it has been rewritten in Go, which makes it possible to
run on the Raspberry Pi 3, the official target platform for California.
</p>

<p>The Rust programming language <a href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2018/08/02/Rust-1.28.html">announced new version 1.28.0 stable</a> 
yesterday. New features include global allocators allowing you to change the
way memory is obtained, improved error messaging for formatting, library 
stabilizations and more. See the <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/RELEASES.md#version-1280-2018-08-02">release
notes on GitHub</a> for more information.

<p>
Humble Bundle has released a new Humble Sports Bundle that includes several
games for Linux if you pay more than the lowest tier, <a href="https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/the-humble-sports-bundle-has-some-awesome-linux-games.12254?module=articles_full&title=the-humble-sports-bundle-has-some-awesome-linux-games&aid=12254">GamingOnLinux</a>

</p>

<p>Firefox 63, which is due to be released later this year, will have
out-of-process extensions for Linux. According to <a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/08/out-of-process-extensions-firefox-linux">
OMG Ubuntu</a>, once it's turned on, all new WebExtensions that you add to
your browser will run in their own dedicated processes, which means if one
crashes, it won't take your entire browser with it. This feature is already
available for Windows and macOS Firefox users.

<p>The <a href="https://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/respects-your-freedom-certification-program-continues-to-grow">EFF
announces</a> that its Respects Your Freedom

In today’s post, we look at some of the options provided by various commands that make digesting data just a little easier.</p><h2>Why not default to friendly?</h2>
<p>If you’re wondering why human-friendliness isn’t the default –- we humans are, after all, the default users of computers — you might be asking yourself, “Why do we have to go out of our way to get command responses that will make sense to everyone?” The answer is primarily that changing the default output of commands would likely interfere with numerous other processes that were built to expect the default responses. Other tools, as well as scripts, that have been developed over the decades might break in some very ugly ways if they were suddenly fed output in a very different format than what they were built to expect.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3296631/linux/displaying-data-in-a-human-friendly-way-on-linux.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here</a></p></section></article>

<p>Linux systems provide many ways to look at disk partitions. In this post, we'll look at a series of commands, each which shows useful information but in a different format and with a different focus. Maybe one will make your favorites list.</p><h3>lsblk</h3>
<p>One of the most useful commands is the <strong>lsblk</strong> (list block devices) command that provides a very nicely formatted display of block devices and disk partitions. In the example below, we can see that the system has two disks (sda and sdb) and that sdb has both a very small (500M) partition and a large one (465.3G). Disks and partitions (part) are clearly labeled, and the relationship between the disks and partitions is quite obvious. We also see that the system has a cdrom (sr0).</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3297916/linux/examining-partitions-on-linux-systems.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here</a></p></section></article>

<p>Announced just yesterday in security advisories from Intel, Microsoft and Red Hat, a newly discovered vulnerability affecting Intel processors (and, thus, Linux) called L1TF or “L1 Terminal Fault” is grabbing the attention of Linux users and admins. Exactly what is this vulnerability and who should be worrying about it?</p><h2>L1TF, L1 Terminal Fault, and Foreshadow</h2>
<p>The processor vulnerability goes by L1TF, L1 Terminal Fault, and Foreshadow. Researchers who discovered the problem back in January and reported it to Intel called it "Foreshadow". It is similar to vulnerabilities discovered in the past (such as Spectre).</p><p>This vulnerability is Intel-specific. Other processors are not affected. And like some other vulnerabilities, it exists because of design choices that were implemented to optimize kernel processing speed but exposed data in ways that allowed access by other processes.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3298157/linux/linux-and-l1tf.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here</a></p></section></article>

<p>Security researcher Sabri Haddouche has discovered a new Firefox bug that causes your
browser and sometimes your PC (on Linux, Mac and Windows) to crash. In an
interview with <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/firefox-bug-crashes-your-browser-and-sometimes-your-pc">ZDNet</a>,
Haddouche explained, "What happens is that the script generates a file (a
blob) that contains an extremely long filename and prompts the user to
download it every one millisecond". See also the <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1493539">bug report</a>
for more information.
</p>

<p>In other Firefox news, the browser evidently is collecting telemetry data via hidden add-ons, <a href="https://www.itwire.com/apps/84638-firefox-collects-data-on-you-through-hidden-add-ons.html">ITWire
reports</a>. The ITWire post also quotes Mozilla's Marshall Eriwn, director of Trust and
Security: "...we will measure Telemetry Coverage, which is the
percentage of all Firefox users who report telemetry. The Telemetry
Coverage measurement will sample a portion of all Firefox clients and
report whether telemetry is enabled. This measurement will not include a
client identifier and will not be associated with our standard telemetry."
</p>

<p><a href="https://creativecommons.org/2018/09/24/big-changes-for-cc-search-beta-updates-released-today">Creative Commons released a significant update to its beta of the CC
Search project</a> yesterday. This iteration "integrates access to more
than 10 million images across 13 content providers". It also features AI
image tags generated from <a href="https://clarifai.com">Clarifai</a>, the
"best in class image classification software that provides tagging support
and visual recognition". In addition, CC Search has a new design making it
easy for users to "search by category, see popular images, and search more
accurately across a wide range of content". And finally, users can share
content and create public lists of images without needing an account.

Cisco confirms that 88 of its products that rely on the Linux kernel are
vulnerable to the FragmentStack bug. According to <a href="www.zdnet.com/article/cisco-linux-kernel-fragmentsmack-bug-now-affects-88-of-our-products">ZDNet</a>,
"the bug can saturate a CPU's capacity when under a low-speed attack using
fragmented IPv4 and IPv6 packets, which could cause a denial-of-service
condition on the affected device." Affected products include "Nexus
switches, Cisco IOS XE software, and equipment from its lines of Unified
Computing and Unified Communications brands, several TelePresence products,
and a handful of wireless access points."

<p><a href="http://blog.system76.com/post/178484720968/system76-gets-animated-for-new-handcrafted">System76
is launching a new open-source computer</a>, which will be
available for pre-order next month. Before announcing the finalized
hardware, the company will be releasing a four-part animation each week with
"design updates hidden within a game portion of the story".
That story will contain "different worlds, each representing an antithesis to
open source ideals. These themes are utilized to draw attention to the
importance of open source in the evolution of technology". If you're
interested, you can sign up <a href="https://thel.io">here</a> to follow the
saga and receive updates leading up to the pre-order.
</p>

<p>
<a href="https://krita.org/en/item/krita-4-1-3-released">Krita 4.1.3 was
released today</a>. The team reports there are about 100 fixes, so update
soon. This version features a new welcome screen, and several improvements, including working with selections
and exporting EPUBs, and much more. Also, here's a reminder that Krita's <a href="https://krita.org/en">Squash the Bugs</a> fundraiser is still live.</p>

<p>
<a href="wire.com/news-releases/hyperledger-continues-strong-momentum-with-14-new-members-300718918.html">Fourteen 
new members have joined The Linux Foundation's Hyperledger</a> open-source blockchain
project. According to the press release, new members include "BetaBlocks, Blockchain Educators, Cardstack,
Constellation Labs, Elemential Labs, FedEx, Honeywell International Inc.,
KoreConX, Northstar Venture Technologies, Peer Ledger, Syncsort and
Wanchain".
</p>

<p>
Google Project Zero researcher Jann Horn claims that distro maintainers
need to merge kernel security fixes quicker. <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-project-zero-to-linux-distros-your-sluggish-kernel-patching-puts-users-at-risk/#ftag=RSSbaffb68">ZDNET
quotes Horn regarding Debian and Ubuntu</a>: "Debian stable ships a kernel
based on 4.9, but as of 2018-09-26, this kernel was last updated 2018-08-21.
Similarly, Ubuntu 16.04 ships a kernel that was last updated 2018-08-27.
Android only ships security updates once a month."
</p>

<p>Java 11 is now available. There are several changes and updates with this
release, so see the <a href="https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/11-relnote-issues-5012449.html">release
notes</a> for all the changes. You can download it from <a href="https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html">here</a>.

writes "Solid changes the current model where users have to hand over
personal data to digital giants in exchange for perceived value. As
we've all discovered, this hasn't been in our best interests. Solid
is how we evolve the web in order to restore balance—by giving
every one of us complete control over data, personal or not, in a

<p>Feral Interactive's <em>Life Is Strange 2</em> is coming to Linux
and macOS in 2019. This narrative adventure game is the next installment of
2015's BAFTA Award-winning <em>Life Is Strange</em>, originally developed
by DONTNOD Entertainment and published by Square Enix on Windows and
console. You can view the trailer <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSB1yCANBAE&feature=youtu.be">here</a>.

Fedora 29 has achieved a "flicker-free" boot experience. According to <a href="https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Fedora-29-Flicker-Free-Boot">Phoronix</a>,
this was accomplished by
"preserving the EFI frame-buffer and any initial system PC/motherboard logo
all the way until fading to the GDM log-in screen for the desktop. This has
required changes so the EFI frame-buffer wouldn't be messed up when the
kernel starts, changes to the Plymouth boot handling, hiding the GRUB boot
menu, and also making use of the Intel driver's 'fastboot' option that
eliminates unnecessary mode-set operations."

<a href="https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/red-hat-announces-satellite-64">Red
Hat yesterday announced Satellite 6.4</a>, "the latest version of Red Hat's
infrastructure management solution", at AnsibleFest Austin. With this
version, Red Hat Satellite will now "be enhanced with a deeper integration
with Red Hat Ansible Automation technology for an automation-centric
approach to IT management".

<p><a href="https://stratis-storage.github.io/relnotes/relnotes-1.0.html">Stratis
1.0 was released</a> last week. After two years of development, "Stratis
1.0 has stabilized its on-disk metadata format and command-line interface,
and is ready for more widespread testing and evaluation by potential users.
Stratis is implemented as a daemon—stratisd—as well as a
command-line configuration tool called stratis, and works with Linux kernel
versions 4.14 and up".

<p>
Google this week released the Android Security Patch for October 2018. <a href="https://news.softpedia.com/news/google-fixes-26-vulnerabilities-in-the-android-security-patch-for-october-2018-522990.shtml">Softpedia
News reports</a> that the patch fixes 26 vulnerabilities, the most severe
of which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. See the <a href="https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2018-10-01">Android
Security Bulletin</a> for more information.
</p>

<p>
Rumor has it that Google Pixel Slate will be the official name for the
first detachable Pixelbook 2-in-1, which may be coming out soon. According
to <a href="https://appuals.com/google-pixel-slate-pixelbook">Appuals</a>, a
Google Pixel Slate benchmark was leaked recently and Android Police also
mentioned in a tweet that "Google Pixel Slate is the name of Google's first
Chrome OS tablet." Further details on the tablet are slim.
</p>

<p>Skype on Debian is vulnerable to attack. On installation, the package
automatically inserts Microsoft's apt repository, which means "after
obtaining control of Microsoft's Debian apt repository, an attacker would
be able to inject malicious content in various distro packages using the
update system, as well as replace legitimate packages with maliciously
crafted ones". See the <a href="https://news.softpedia.com/news/skype-for-debian-could-allow-attackers-to-completely-takeover-machines-523013.shtml">Softpedia
News post</a> for more details and steps you can take to protect your
computer after installing Skype.
</p>

<p>
A beta of PyTorch 1.0 has been released. Facebook recently open-sourced the
Python-based project, which "provides developers with the power to
seamlessly move from research to production in a single framework". <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/facebook-open-source-ai-framework-pytorch-1-0-released">ZDNet
reports</a> that the project now has many new supporters, and "with deeper
cloud service support from Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and
Microsoft Azure, and tighter integration with technology providers ARM,
Intel, IBM, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm, developers can easily deploy PyTorch's
ecosystem of compatible software, hardware, and developer tools."
</p>

<p>Feral Interactive is releasing another game for Linux! <em>XCOM 2: War of the
Chosen - Tactical Legacy Pack</em>, the expansion for the <em>XCOM 2</em>
award-winning strategy game, will be released for Linux and macOS soon
after the Windows release on October 9, 2018. See this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bkTJAZM4i4&feature=youtu.be">video</a>
for a gameplay overview.

<p>Jigsaw, a cyber unit division owned by Google's parent company Alphabet,
recently introduced Intra, a new app with the goal of protecting users from
state-sponsored censorship. According to <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2018/10/03/googles-cyber-unit-jigsaw-introduces-intra-a-security-app-dedicated-to-busting-censorship">TechCrunch</a>,
Intra "aims to prevent DNS manipulation attacks" and that "by passing all
your browsing queries and app traffic through an encrypted connection to a
trusted Domain Name Server, Intra says it ensures you can use your app
without meddling or get to the right site without interference."

<a href="https://about.att.com/story/2018/5g_cell_specifications.html">AT&T
this week is releasing specifications for a cell site gateway router</a> to the
Open Compute Project. According to the press release, this "white box"
blueprint
will allow any hardware maker to build these routers, which will be
installed at tens of thousands of cell towers during the next several
years. These routers then will "eventually form the infrastructure that
will enable not just phones and tablets to connect to our mobile 5G
network, but new technologies like autonomous cars, drones, augmented
reality and virtual reality systems, smart factories, and more".

capabilities, Graphical Output Protocol handling, and the ability to boot
Windows".

upgraded to 3.17, upstream fixes to Haskell and Python packages, a new
"smooth bootup experience", and Deepin and GNOME package updates. In
addition, the Manjaro team is also working on the Bladebook Fall 2018,
which will run Manjaro KDE 18.0 preinstalled "with the Intel Apollo Lake
Quad-Core HD APU, a fanless metal material, and utilize eMMC as its primary
storage, although the dev states that additional M2-SSD could be possible."

<p>Linux systems maintain quite a collection of log files, many of which you are probably rarely tempted to view. Some of these log files are quite valuable, though, and options for exploring them might be more interesting and varied than you imagine. Let's look at some system logs and get a handle on some of the ways in which log data might be easier to probe.</p><h3>Log file rotation</h3>
<p>First, there's the issue of log rotation. Some Linux log files are “rotated.” In other words, the system stores more than one "generation" of these files, mostly to keep them from using too much disk space. The older logs are then compressed but left available for a while. Eventually, the oldest in a series of rotated log files will be automatically deleted in the log rotation process, but you’ll still have access to a number of the older logs so that you can examine log entries that were added in the last few days or weeks when and if you need to look a little further back into some issue you're tracking.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3313425/linux/making-better-use-of-your-linux-logs.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here</a></p></section></article>

<p>While you may not spend a lot of time thinking about this, the role Linux plays in the technology that we all use everyday is growing quite significantly. In an effort to more fully appreciate this, I had an opportunity to speak with the new vice resident and general manager of Red Hat's RHEL Business Unit — Dr. Stefanie Chiras — and ask about her vision for RHEL and Linux in general. She was very enthusiastic — not just for Red Hat, but for the open source movement overall and the rising importance of Linux.</p><p>Chiras started with Red Hat in July — not quite four months ago — and already describes herself as a “true Red Hatter.” She explained that she has had a serious focus on Linux for the last six years or more. As she points out, we all do development differently these days because of the open source movement. The changes in just the last five years have moved us to very different ways of doing things whether we're working on public or private clouds, containers, or bare metal.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3315267/linux/red-hat-underpins-the-growing-importance-of-linux-and-open-source.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here</a></p></section></article>

<p><a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/3296740/lan-wan/what-is-nmap-why-you-need-this-network-mapper.html">Nmap</a>, the "network mapper," has long been used on corporate networks to collect information on desktop systems and servers. The tool provides information on the systems and services that are running (i.e., open ports). It can also help identify rogue systems and vulnerabilities. Nmap makes it easy to detect changes, as well as new systems on the network. Typical uses include:</p><ul>
<li>Host discovery — probing by IP address and providing information on the systems that respond</li>
<li>Port scanning — identifying services that are available for use</li>
<li>Version detection — identifying applications and their versions</li>

<p>The leading enterprise Linux platform is now available in a new and highly innovative Beta release. Among other highlights that promise a transformation of business IT well into the future, <strong>Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Beta</strong>:</p><ul>
<li>Introduces <strong>application streams</strong> separating user space packages from core kernel operations and making it easier to update user packages without requiring major version updates of the OS itself.</li>
<li>Provides security updates with both OpenSSL 1.1.1 and TLS 1.3 supported.</li>
<li>Includes <strong>Composer</strong> to make it easier for both new and experienced Red Hat Enterprise Linux users to build and deploy custom images across the hybrid cloud.</li>
<li>Adds <strong>Stratis</strong> — a new volume-management file system that is faster, more efficient and easier to manage than its predecessors.</li>
</ul>
<p>Much of the impetus for RHEL 8 has been the growing need for a common foundation that can span every IT stronghold from the data center to multiple public clouds and make application delivery a lot more manageable. Four years have passed since RHEL 7 came our way, and so much has changed in the world of IT since then, with continued virtualization and containerization along with a growing need for rapid deployment.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3320857/linux/article.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here</a></p></section></article>

<p>The <strong>sudo</strong> command is very handy when you need to run occasional commands with superuser power, but you can sometimes run into problems when it doesn’t do everything you expect it should. Say you want to add an important message at the end of some log file and you try something like this:</p><pre>$ echo "Important note" &gt;&gt; /var/log/somelog
-bash: /var/log/somelog: <strong>Permission denied</strong>
</pre>
<p>OK, it looks like you need to employ some extra privilege. In general, you can't write to a system log file with your user account. Let’s try that again with <strong>sudo</strong>.</p><pre>$ sudo !!
sudo echo "Important note" &gt;&gt; /var/log/somelog
-bash: /var/log/somelog: <strong>Permission denied</strong>
</pre>
<p>Hmm, that didn't work either. Let's try something a little different.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3322504/linux/selectively-deploying-your-superpowers-on-linux.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here</a></p></section></article>
