We’ve compiled a list of NCM tools. They are all released under an open source license (in the case of rConfig only v3 is open source, its later edition is proprietary software).
Here’s our verdict captured in a legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart.
Sendmail is an open-source mail transfer agent (MTA) that provides an efficient way to manage and transmit emails. However, for organizations that need to send a high volume of emails, relying solely on Sendmail may not be sufficient. This is where relaying emails through an external SMTP server can be helpful.
MySQL is a widely used database management system for managing relational databases. It is an open-source database management system, which means it is free to use and has a large community of users that contribute to its development.
Introduction MySQL is a popular open-source relational database management system that is used by many organizations to store and manage their data. One of the most powerful features of MySQL is the ability to schedule tasks to be executed automatically, known as MySQL events.
If you’re working with a large database, you might have realized that it can get overwhelming to handle all the information stored in it. That’s where MySQL Views come in handy. A view is a virtual table that is created from a SELECT statement.
Want to look for a process and its details? The pgrep command helps you with that. Here’s how to use it.
Introduction Databases are crucial to storing and retrieving data. They are essential for managing and organizing data for businesses, organizations, and individuals.
MySQL is a widely used open-source relational database management system. It provides a vast array of functions that can perform various operations on the data stored in the database.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a blog posting here about Fedora having frame pointers (LWN backgrounder,HN thread).I made some mistakes in that blog posting and retracted it, but I wasn’t wrong about the conclusions, just wrong about how I reached them. Frame pointers are much better than DWARF. DWARF unwinding might have some theoretical advantages but it’s worse in every practical respect.
Weeks 5–6 (February 1st – February 13th) # You can now use –srpm option with the packit build locally CLI command. (packit#1810) You will newly see news about Packit as a footer of the GitHub check runs summary. (packit-service#1881) Packit now groups related builds and test runs (e.g. triggered by the same event, just different chroots) together. In the future, this will allow better presentation of the overall pipelines (e.
Choosing a Linux distribution can be hard with so many choices. You’ll find many videos and guides like this one trying to explain the differences, but you have to realize that differences are often relatively minor or only matter to people with specific goals and needs.
Many differences are just a coat of paint, and just as often, the coat of paint is easily transferable to another distro. Really, that’s the beauty of Linux: most software is free and designed to be interchangeable, so mixing and matching your favorite aspects of different distros is a real possibility.
The real-time Ubuntu 22.04 LTS from publisher Canonical was released on Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2023. Enterprises running the open source operating system can now run more demanding workloads and develop a wide range of time-sensitive applications, Canonical said.
As a real-time solution, it was designed to minimize the response time guarantee within a specified deadline. With a new enterprise-grade real-time kernel, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS can keep up with stringent low-latency requirements such as smart factory applications.
Linux operating system developer Canonical Ltd. today announced the general availability of Real-time Ubuntu, a new and specialized version of its operating system designed for time-bound workloads and applications.
The newly developed real-time kernel within Ubuntu is better able to serve extreme latency-dependent use cases, providing deterministic response times to service events, Canonical said. In this way, it can minimize response time guarantees within a specified deadline, making it ideal for time-sensitive applications in the automotive, aerospace, industrial, public sector, retail and telecommunications sectors.

Real-time Ubuntu provides a deterministic response to an external event, aiming to minimise the response time guarantee within a specified deadline. The new enterprise-grade real-time kernel is ideal for stringent low-latency requirements. Enterprises in industrial, telecommunications, automotive, aerospace and defence, as well as public sector and retail, can now run their most demanding workloads and develop a wide range of time-sensitive applications on the open-source operating system (OS).
“The real-time Ubuntu kernel delivers industrial-grade performance and resilience for software-defined manufacturing, monitoring and operational tech”, said Mark Shuttleworth, CEO at Canonical. “Ubuntu is now the world’s best silicon-optimised AIOT platform on NVIDIA, Intel, MediaTek, and AMD-Xilinx silicon”.
Ubuntu is gearing up to respond to Industry 4.0 in an era of increasing interconnectivity with the release of the latest real-time 22.04 LTS version.
Canonical, the company behind the popular open source operating system, says real-time Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is designed with performance, ultra-low latency, and security in mind.
With this release, the OS is aiming to deliver top performance to the telecommunications network amid the transformation to 5G, the automotive industry, and other models related to the interconnectivity associated with the so-called fourth industrial revolution.
Today Canonical has announced the general availability of real-time Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. This enterprise-grade offering is aimed at the industrial, telecom, automotive, aerospace and defense sectors, as well as public sector and retail.
Real-time Ubuntu allows organizations to run their most demanding workloads and develop a wide range of time-sensitive applications on the open-source operating system.
By collaborating with partners, from silicon providers to OEMs and ODMs, Canonical wants to raise the bar of what is possible in the software world, unleashing a new wave of creativity and innovation with real-time Ubuntu.
Exercising outdoors is great for our general health and mental wellbeing, but it also carries some risks that are not always apparent, such as bad air quality, incoming storms, or simply falling down.
So in December 2018 I was approached somewhat out of the blue by someone from OSUOSL who offered eight servers to the Reproducible Builds project and as these machines had 32 cores and 144 GB Rameach(plus 3 TB on a single HDD) and they also offered free hosting, I very happyly said yes.
Inour last blog post, we announced that we’re rebuilding the Thunderbird UI from scratch, with the first results coming to Thunderbird 115 “Supernova” this July. We also explained why it’s necessary to begin removing some technical and interface debt, and to modernize things in order to sustain the project for decades to come. That post may have caused you to worry that Thunderbird 115’s interface would be radically different and ship with less customization options. Perhaps fearful you’d have to relearn how to use the application.
Nothing could be further from the truth! In this post — and in future Supernova previews — we want to put all those worries to rest by showing you how Thunderbird 115 will be intuitive and welcoming to new users, while remaining familiar and comfortable for veteran users.

CJ Hopkins So, Matt Taibbi is going after the Consent Factory. No, not my blog. The actual Consent Factory.

Combined, the patent risk landscape within the transportation space appears far different than it did even a few years ago. In 2022, nearly 80% of all cases in this sector were brought by NPEs, the highest since 2015.

On February 10, 2023,Unified Edgefiled an amicus brief with the Supreme Court concerning the test for whether a patent has met the statutory requirement for enablement—i.e., the requirement that the specification sufficiently disclose the claimed invention in such full, clear, and exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use it.
The brief explains why the Supreme Court should maintain—across all fields of endeavor, including high tech—the Federal Circuit’s vigorous check on functional patent claims that the Federal Circuit has applied over decades of its case law (which in turn rests on 170 years of the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence). The fact-intensive investigation into enablement required by the Federal Circuit’sWandsfactors provides the appropriate, flexible framework for Patent Office examiners, fact-finders, trial court judges, and reviewing appellate courts to apply in assessing compliance with the statutory requirement for enablement.
The forecast predicted a brief partial clearing of the skies in the mid-morning, and due to the dearth of other opportunities, I decided to take a gamble on it. I arrived at the boat launch about 4:30am AKST. The temperature was -16 deg F, there was no moon, and wispy clouds were covering somewhere around 30-50% of the sky.
I am a human. Hence, I am goofing off, too, once in a while!
At it’s best, it’s feels like a bridge between the British music of previous decades (Mainly Bowie, but plenty of The Beatles too) and the catchy, dumber future of the mainstream success of britpop (Blur, Oasis, The Verve). But that fudging timelines a little – ‘Leisure’ by Blur was selling well. ‘Definitely Maybe’ came out the same year. So scratch that. It’s certainly more varied than both of those albums, and the lyrics aspire to something more than catchy. It never quite get there. It all loses steam towards the end, moving to slower, introspective songs before a huge melodramatic ending that felt overblown and unearned.
I always loved the Power PC based Macintosh computers – my first was a iMac DV 400 with G3 CPU. So i bought a refubrished Power Mac G4 MDD with two G4 1.25Ghz / 2GB Ram some days ago, added a PATA to SD Adapter to get a “SSD” and installed Sorbet Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5.9) on it.
I don’t run this capsule on a server that I physically own. I rent out my server from digitalocean. Since my server doesn’t need to have lots of computing power or memory, I have opted to use the cheapest server possible that pennies can buy. The only problem is that the server is so underpowered: it is nearly impossible to install software from source. In this log, I will explain how I go about deploying software to my server.
Before the dawn of telegraphy, information and goods both needed to be physically transported to a location for the recipient to get them. Correspondence was carried on horseback, and all business occurred out directly in offices and storefronts.
Imagine if in those days, ordinary people didn’t live in immovable houses but pod-like structures on wagons. They didn’t own the land their wagons were parked on; they simply rented space along roads that were owned by the gentry, who themselves answered to coordination by the offices of the king. In order to have an address and receive goods and services, one had to rent a spot on a road somewhere.
Y’all know I hate GitHub, including the amount of hoop jumping needed to contribute to projects hosted on there.
The gh cli app fixes that.
After having set it up it’s as easy to contribute to GitHub-hosted projects as it is to use more normal git repos that accept send-email.
I have a shell script that I can run in any cloned github repo where I’ve made changes; the script then checks if head is detached, asks me if I’m happy with the current branch name or prompts me for a replacement, commits everything, and then calls gh pr create –fill which in turn automatically does all that fiddly web stuff I was complaining about above: creating the fork if there already isn’t one, pushes it, and opens a pull request. Or if I’ve already committed my changes locally I can still call gh pr create –fill (or without the flag if I feel like writing pull request text).
