There's drama about the latest RISC-V patches in the kernel, SparkyLinux and Kaisen Linux have updates, and GCC is looking to drop some architectures. Nvidia ships a driver update, ffmpeg and OnlyOffice adds AI, and distros are shipping the soft reboot. For tips we have SystemD-Manager-TUI for managing Systemd, a step-through of auditing a downloadable install script, the timeout bash command, and an interesting question about how to get colors back in grep output.

EL SECRETO para DOMINAR Systemd en Linux (¡FÁCIL Y RÁPIDO!) | Adiós systemctl

EL SECRETO para DOMINAR Systemd en Linux (¡FÁCIL Y RÁPIDO!) | Adiós systemctl

En este episodio de “Podcast de Tecnología e Informática con Tomás González” nos ponemos la bata de técnicos curiosos y nos lanzamos a descubrir systemd, el misterioso proceso PID 1 que manda en casi todas las distribuciones modernas de Linux.Sin comandos, sin terminal y sin jerga críptica: lo explicamos con analogías, anécdotas geek y ejemplos de la vida diaria para que cualquier estudiante de informática —incluso si jamás oyó hablar de SysV init— entienda:Por qué nació systemd y cómo relegó al viejo SysV init.Qué hace exactamente cuando pulsas el botón de encendido: targets, dependencias y arranque en paralelo.El mundo de las units (services, timers, sockets…) explicado como piezas de LEGO.Cómo journald se convirtió en la caja negra de tu sistema y por qué algunos lo aman y otros lo odian.Un vistazo amigable a cgroups, la jaula que mantiene a raya los procesos glotones.Las polémicas que sacudieron la comunidad Linux y las ventajas que lo han convertido en estándar de facto.¿Systemd es un héroe moderno o un pulpo que lo acapara todo? Ponte los auriculares, sirve tu café y descúbrelo con nosotros en este viaje entretenido al corazón del arranque de Linux.

Guests Jan Lehnardt | Alba Herrerías Ramírez Panelist Richard Littauer Show Notes In this episode of Sustain, host Richard Littauer engages with Jan Lehnardt and Alba Herrerías Ramírez from Neighbourhoodie, a consultancy company based in Berlin and the Canary Islands. The discussion delves into Neighbourhoodie's work on sustaining open source projects, their collaboration with the Sovereign Tech Fund for enhancing open source project's bug resilience, and the technical and ethical facets of their consultancy services. Insights are shared into their past and current projects, including PouchDB, CouchDB, and their contributions to humanitarian causes, emphasizing their focus on creating a sustainable impact in the open source community. Press download now to hear more! [00:01:55] Jan explains the origin of Neighbourhoodie, which began with the Hoodie open source project, how the company evolved, the decline of the Hoodie project due to timing and resources, and how CouchDB and PouchDB continued to thrive. [00:04:27] Richard asks about the company's name and its novelty domain, and Jan gives an overview of Neighbourhoodie's size and slow and steady growth, and their focus on a positive work environment. [00:05:51] Jan gives a detail explanation of CouchDB and PouchDB's functionality, particularly their offline-first and synchronization capabilities, and how this has been used in critical projects like the Ebola vaccine. [00:08:41] Richard asks about maintaining ethical work practices and avoiding projects that conflict with Neighbourhoodie's values. [00:09:53] Jan discusses how Neighbourhoodie balances reinvesting in open source projects and expanding the company, focusing on professional services around CouchDB and PouchDB. [00:11:53] Alba describes her role in leading Sovereign Tech Fund (STF) projects within Neighbourhoodie, and how they engage with various projects to offer support. [00:13:31] Jan explains the STF's Bug Resilience Program. [00:16:33] Richard asks about the potential ethical dilemma when third-party consultants like Neighbourhoodie might be taking work that could have otherwise gone to maintainers themselves. We hear how Neighbourhoodie, the projects, and the STF agree on statements of work, including milestones and time estimates, to ensure fairness and proper allocation of resources. [00:21:23] We learn from Jan that dealing with low-quality bug reports isn't a primary focus of their work, but improving test coverage, dependency updates, and CI/CD processes helps mitigate these issues as a side effect. [00:22:54] Alba talks about the different types of projects they work in, such as OpenPGP.js, Sequioa, Yocto, PyPi, Systemd, PHP, Log4j, and reproducible builds. [00:23:49] Jan discusses the challenges and learning opportunities that comes with working across diverse projects, each with its own set of tools, communication styles, and cultural contexts. [00:25:29] Richard reflects on the complexity of open source sustainability and Alba describes how they research projects and identify areas where they can provide the most help, tailoring their approach to the specific needs of each project. [00:27:25] Jan explains that they don't dictate solutions but rather collaborate with projects to address their most pressing needs, often helping to mediate between different parts of a project to find common ground. [00:30:07] Jan explains how they educate clients to take responsibility for the scripts they deliver, unless there's a long-term support contract in place. [00:32:00] We learn how the Neighbourhoodie transition was organic and not part of a grand strategy and how they continue to contribute to open source through their consulting work. [00:34:54] Richard questions the choice of open source as the main focus given its limitations, and Jan explains that open source is widely understood and accessible, making it a practical choice for their work. [00:37:35] Alba and Jan share some highlights and fun things from their work. [00:39:32] Find out where you can follow Jan and Alba online. Quotes [00:02:19] “The goal was to have two separate entities so that when the company puts out an open source project in its own name, and then the company goes under, and the project goes away, we wanted to not have that.” [00:24:08] “If you do software long enough, you realize that the technical problems are just the sideshow and everything else you have to solve things on the people layer instead of the technology layer.” [00:25:06] “The current monoculture of everything is on GitHub is not the only truth out there.” [00:35:34] “Open source is the thing that everybody understands.” Spotlight [00:40:57] Richard's spotlight is Gregor Martynus. [00:41:54] Jan's spotlight is AdonisJS. [00:42:45] Alba's spotlight is PouchDB.

Josh and Kurt talk about a sudo replacement going into systemd called run0. It sounds like it'll get a lot right, but systemd is a pretty big attack surface and not everyone is a fan.

System D is our topic for today discussing system processes, how do you manage and control processes, services, and fundamental components of Linux operating systems. In this discussion, we cover how to think about it, how it works, alternatives, process controls, and even how they get applied to containers. Containers were a nice bridge from our previous discussions when we were talking about container management systems. If you are interested in Linux and Linux management, Linux automation, this is a good episode for you! Transcript: https://otter.ai/u/KCK3f95lbUEAEzLgA60k-HbDlGk?utm_source=copy_url

Fredrik får besök av Peter Magnusson från grannpodden Säkerhetspodcasten, som hjälper till att reda ut vad som egentligen hänt kring bakdörren i komprimeringsbiblioteket XZ. Under påsken upptäcktes en bakdörr i XZ, som hade potential att ge upphovspersonerna tillgång till maskiner som kör saker som SSH och Systemd. Bakdörren var gömd i binärfiler för testfall, byggd för att inte märkas, och allt som behövdes hade smugits in över tid efter en koordinerad kampanj där upphovspersonerna gavs maintainerbehörighet till XZ. Peter reder ut vad som hänt, framgångar och misstag från angriparnas sida, och ger en säkerhetsinsatts perspektiv på det hela. Det är fascinerande att hela aktionen skett helt i det öppna och helt dokumenterad i text - e-post, commits och så vidare. Dessutom är det intressant att spekulera över vilka som kan tänkas ligga bakom, och vad det betyder med de misstag som faktiskt gjorts i processen och koden. Och givetvis det läskiga i att överarbetade underhållare av öppen källkod kan göras till måltavlor på det här sättet. En ond aktör plötsligt kan ha incitament att bygga upp en helt falsk verklighet kring en specifik person. Vad är chansen att detta är den enda operationen av det här slaget som pågått och kommer att genomföras? Och så måste vi hylla de människor som inte bara accepterar att en ny version av något plötsligt beter sig lite konstigt utan dyker ner och upptäcker händelser som dessa!

Deploying Nextcloud the Nix way promises a paradise of reproducibility and simplicity. But is it just a painful trek through configuration hell? We built the dream Nextcloud using Nix and faced reality. Special Guest: Alex Kretzschmar.

Last year, we had some predictions about what 2023 would bring. How'd we do? There's some news to cover from the past two weeks, like the release of the Fedora Asahi spin, Wayland *not* breaking everything, and the very cursed diagonal monitor mode that only Linux supports. SystemD adds encrypted boot support, Chimera OS might be worth a look for your HTPC, and the Fedora stearing committe is weighing a round of interesting changes for Fedora 40, like unifying /bin and /sbin. Then we cover predictions for 2024, like the importance of Ubuntu's next LTS, AMD's GPU outlook, the future of Cosmic, and how exciting 2024 is going to be for desktop Linux users. We cover our favorite tips from the year, and sneak in a couple more aliases you might want to use.

In the latest episode, we delve into the rapidly evolving AI ecosystem and its implications for us as Elixir developers, highlighting the potential hazards of relying on proprietary services like OpenAI and the benefits of self-hosted, open-source AI models. We touch on the Elixir LangChain library, how Elixir's position of running our own AI models strengthens us, and the governance and financial risks of depending on a single AI provider. Tune in for why these topics matter and how they shape the future of development in the context of Elixir, plus the holiday season's impact on our show schedule, and more!

I've been meaning to put down my thoughts about SystemD for the HPR community for some while, so here goes. I want to say that I am not a SystemD hater. When SystemD was a hot topic of debate, many became irrational over it, but I want to start by saying that I don't think it's a bad technology. I think it is a rather good technology. I just don't want it on my personal computer. So I would like to run things down in this order: what is it (as in, what is it really,) what makes it a good technology, why I don't want it now (but might later,) and a few tips for you if you decide that you don't want it currently. SystemD Is not an init system. SystemD includes an init system. SystemD Init was faster than SysVInit, but SystemD Init isn't the fastest init system, and SysVInit now has a parallelization helper, at least on Debian. So, if SystemD Init is not SystemD, than what is SystemD? To understand this we must first understand something about Linux. Linux operates under a model where there are root processes, and there are user processes. These two kinds of processes are usually called "layers." SystemD is actually a third layer, that can be called a system layer. So when SystemD is added to a Linux system, that changes the system so that there are three layers, a root layer, a user layer, and a system layer. As such, you now ask SystemD to set how the system runs. This is why SystemD includes things like an init system, because if you want to change what the system is running, you ask SystemD to change it. SystemD then messages an appropriate system to implement the change, like messaging its init system to bring up or bring down a system daemon. Once you play out this in your head a bit, you really realize that SystemD acts more like a message passing system in this regard. So why do I say SystemD is a good technology? Because this can standardize system control. Without SystemD a fleet of computers becomes like individual fingerprints or unique snowflakes. If you manage many computers, as many professional IT people do, you want them to all run the same, all have the same profiles and general configurations. So if you have a bunch of computers you are running, you can run a lot more if they are all run the same way. If your job requires you to run 10,000 webservers, you want them to run identically because it is impossible to keep an understanding of 10,000 unique configurations in a human head. SystemD really shines in its support of virtualization as well. So to speak of servers, I used to run an email server for a few friends. Each of us had a userid and number as unix users. The mapping of unix userids and postfix userids can get confusing when it gets big. Thanks to SystemD's virtualization work, you can actually put a service like email into a namespace situation so that it has only the users root and the daemon user id (like "postfix"), so SystemD greatly enhances security for server installations. This might help explain its dominance in linux distributions that have been traditionally server-centric, such as debian and redhat. So why don't I don't want it? Well, I've been doing a lot of talking about professional computer work and corporate work environments, but I use a "Personal Computer" as a hobby. I've been out-of-industry for decades now. And when I say "Personal Computer" I'm not talking a hardware specification, rather I'm talking about "This is my personal computer where I do things my way, as opposed to my work computer where I do things my companies way". Dear listener, please remember that I did the first community show contribution to HPR, and my topic was about personalization. For me, a hobbyist interested in operating system experimentation, I don't want a system layer, I want a traditional unix-like system that operates on a two-layer model and does things my way, nobody else's way. So, what advice can I give to those who don't want SystemD now? Well, recently I've left Debian. Debian, you see, supports init system diversity, but as you now know dear listener, that is different than being without SystemD. You may have heard that SystemD is linux-specific, that is to say that it runs only on linux, not anything like a BSD system or a Windows system. But you may be curious to know that it is also Gnu-libC specific. Which means that the C compiler must use GNU's libC standard library. Thus, if you have a system built around the Musl C standard library like Alpine or Void, or a system like Android that runs on the Bionic C Standard library, you wont have a SystemD system. I'm personally learning Void as its package manager supports both binary and a ports collection much like the BSD's. But that is what I'm doing on my personal computer, I leave you in the freedom to do things your way on your personal computer!
