📦 RPM 6.1 a fost lansat: Viteză crescută la instalarea pachetelor, semnături mai sigure și îmbunătățiri pentru dezvoltatori!

A fost lansată versiunea RPM 6.1, utilitarul fundamental de gestionare a pachetelor software utilizat de distribuții majore precum Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Fedora, openSUSE și AlmaLinux. Această actualizare aduce optimizări semnificative de performanță și securitate.

✨ Noutățile principale din RPM 6.1:

⚡ Instalare mai rapidă a pachetelor:
• Reducerea timpilor de execuție la instalarea și actualizarea pachetelor mari datorită optimizării procesării arhivelor interne și a gestionării mai eficiente a bazelor de date SQLite de stocare a metadatelor.

🔐 Semnături digitale și securitate îmbunătățită:
• Modernizează procesul de semnare a pachetelor (rpmsign) prin suport extins pentru algoritmi criptografici recenți și verificări mai stricte ale integrității fișierelor înainte de instalare.

🛠️ Unelte rafinate pentru spec-files & compilare:
• Introduce sintaxe mai clare și opțiuni noi în fișierele de configurare .spec, simplificând munca maintainer-ilor la crearea de pachete complexe și gestionarea dependențelor.

🧹 Curățarea codului vechi:
• Eliminarea unor comportamente depășite (deprecated) în favoarea standardelor moderne de securitate și stocare, pregătind terenul pentru viitoarele versiuni de sisteme din familia Enterprise Linux.

O lansare de infrastructură esențială care face gestionarea pachetelor pe distribuțiile bazate auf RPM mai rapidă, mai sigură și mai facil de administrat! 🚀

Interesting article on how Nvidia et al are leveraging their war chests together with the economic mechanics of de-facto standard setting & commoditizing-the-complement of open source around the training & inference field:

https://www.servethehome.com/qualcomm-modular-amd-open-sourced-at-modcon-2026/

Just also received first hand reports that Nvidia is hiring up large parts of K8s land and Red Hat.

So substantial private investment in FOSS. Something I can appreciate.

@GrapheneOS that's bullshit and you know that:

• If this was the case, grsecurity & Red Hat would've already been sued into insolvency for violating GPLv2 for the Linux Kernel!
• You legally ain't a device manufacturrer / partner of Google.
  • Your entitlement to Source Code as per GPLv2 strictly pertains that of your devices bought and their firmware.

Feel free to try to sue them on that part. @SexyCyborg was very successful obtaining the sources when she asked a device manufacturer - not.

• As shit as it sounds, restricting and paywalling sourve code access per GPLv2 is so far not estanlished as illegal. But good luck suing that into existance with some competent lawyers like @wbs_legal or @noybeu 's @maxschrems …

Linux-переход

В жизни каждого IT специалиста однажды это случается. Linux-переход. Не надо этого стесняться так как это совершенно естественно. Причины перехода у каждого свои. На одинаковом железе под Windows и Linux запустил запустил бенчмарки. Получил прирост времени автономной работы с Linux в 30% при кратном сокращении потребления системных ресурсов без потерь производительности. Предлагаю обсудить карту навигации по GNU/Linux.

How did Kubernetes come to dominate large-scale computing?

Part 2 of this Andrew Oram series shows how #Google mobilized the free and #opensource software community and strategically positioned Kubernetes to be a standard.

Haack's Networking - Drawing Tablets & X11/Wayland

🖥️ It is nice to see that my Gaomon tablets work right out of the box under KDE 6.6, Debian 14, and Wayland ...

🎉 Massive thanks to the #wayland #redhat team and also a shout to @davidrevoy who recently dropped his Interim setup which first clued me in to "mouse mode" being on the horizon for stable 💘 (finally)

✅️ Sure enough, in Debian Testing w/ Wayland, the "Drawing Tablet" setting in KDE 6.6 automagically works with the following Gaomon tablets with no proprietary driver installed:

1️⃣ MK 2018
2️⃣ PD 1161

💡 The last two years were choppy and I even had to write a custom X config for the MK 2018 to teach an applied math course. Until recently, seeing no progress on the horizon for "out of the box" functionality, I had settled on @XLibreDev @sonicdesktop and was quite happy. In fact, very grateful to them for getting me by this last year - mucho thanks. #xlibre #sonicde #sonic

🏁 But, at the end of the day, I really need mainstream / stock Debian to just work with drawing products, not just for me ... but for my daughter's art projects - she just got her art accepted at @ffmpeg and I'm very proud of her. We rely on these products - there's no denying. At present:

Dascha uses:
1) X1 Carbon 4th Gen - using KDE neon stable (art attached that she did at 13 for ffmpeg)

2) HP All-In-One Touch i5 - using KDE neon stable

All working better natively in Wayland than under the prop driver. They work similarly well to how they work in X now.

Jonathan (me) uses:
1) 3x mini Ryzen PCs - KDE 6.6, Debian Testing, and Wayland - 1 w/ PD 1161 and 2 w/ MK 2018 - all working including "mouse mode" under wayland / stock Debia (art / teaching).

2) Dell 1950 laptop 2023 i7 w/ NVIDIA - had to manually build the nvidia driver under latest on their website, other than that no issues, running Debian Testing, Wayland, KDE 6.6 - MK 2018 works via USBC hub for teaching

3) X1 Carbon 4th gen i5 - Debian Testing, KDE 6.6, Wayland - works with Wacom stylus similar to Dascha's setup no issues

⁉️ How did this happen? I was fixing an old Precision 7920 and setting it up as a PeerTube runner on Lubuntu 26.04 (better with NVIDIA lol). I got bored and installed Kubuntu Desktop and then pluggeed in an MK 2018. It worked ... & so I started testing and researching KDE point releases & looking back at Mr. Revoy's post and switched all 7 machines over in < 48 hours.

Why did Kubernetes become so widely adopted?

In part 2 of this series, our writer Andy Oram explores how timing, Google’s backing, the creation of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), and #opensource community involvement contributed to Kubernetes’ rise.
