This has been a terrific week with lots of goodies, especially for fans of the KDE Plasma desktop environment. Apart from all the KDE goodies that landed this week, we also got a new Firefox release, a new major Mesa graphics stack release for gaming, and several new distro and software releases.
On top of that, I tell you about some of the upcoming features of Firefox 114 and QEMU 8.1, and invite you to try out Ubuntu on a new RISC-V board. Check out the hottest news of this week and access all the distro and package downloads in 9to5Linux’s Linux weekly roundup for May 14th, 2023, below.
Project Link: CNCF – Kubescape: Release engineering: add Kubescape to commonly-requested package managers
How can Pod start-up be accelerated on nodes in large clusters? This is a common issue that cluster administrators may face.
This blog post focuses on methods to speed up pod start-up from the kubelet side. It does not involve the creation time of pods by controller-manager through kube-apiserver, nor does it include scheduling time for pods or webhooks executed on it.
We have mentioned some important factors here to consider from the kubelet’s perspective, but this is not an exhaustive list. As Kubernetes v1.27 is released, this blog highlights significant changes in v1.27 that aid in speeding up pod start-up.
Pulling images always takes some time and what’s worse is that image pulls are done serially by default. In other words, kubelet will send only one image pull request to the image service at a time. Other image pull requests have to wait until the one being processed is complete.

Our Machine Learning in Linux series focuses on apps that make it easy to experiment with machine learning.
Imaginer is GTK4 software which lets you generate pictures using AI. You supply a text prompt, consisting of a collection of words to describe an image, and an AI model creates an image based on the words. Imaginer uses Stable Diffusion and other deep learning, text-to-image models to generate the images.
An extremely interesting area of research relates to these deep learning text-to-image models. We’ve published reviews of software that uses Stable Diffusion. Our reviews of Easy Diffusion, Stable Diffusion web UI, and InvokeAI noted each software program requires downloading large models. The software performs best when using a machine with a good dedicated graphics card. That’s not the case with Imaginer.
Firewalls are made to protect the network from any threat by filtering both the in and outbound traffic and ensuring network security as well.

Lightweight Linux distributions share similar characteristics with their desktop-oriented counterparts.
Industrial robots are shockingly expensive when new, typically only affordable for those running factories of some sort. Once they’ve gone through their life cycle building widgets, they can be purchased for little more than scrap value, which is essentially free compared to their original sticker price. [Excessive Overkill] explains all of this in a video where he purchased one at this stage to try to revive, but it also shows us how to get some more life out of these robots if you can spend some time hunting for spare parts, installing open-source firmware, and also have the space for a robot that weighs well over a thousand kilograms.

It is no secret that the OS you choose is a key determinant of your security online. After all, your OS is the most critical software running on your computer – it manages its memory and processes, as well as all of its software and hardware. The general consensus among experts is that Linux is a highly secure OS – arguably the most secure OS by design. This article will examine the key factors that contribute to the robust security of Linux, and evaluate the level of protection against vulnerabilities and attacks that Linux offers administrators and users.
WordPress is one of the most popular content management systems in the world due to the ability it gives non-technical, inexperienced users to create professional, effective websites. According to data from W3Techs, WordPress was used by 43% of all websites on the Internet in 2022.
This widespread usage, combined with persistent security vulnerabilities, has put a target on WordPress’s back. Malicious hackers have come to view attacks exploiting WordPress vulnerabilities as an easy and effective way to gain access to valuable credentials and infect systems with harmful software.
Securing WordPress sites against damaging attacks is a challenge, as new vulnerabilities are constantly being discovered, and even sites that are considered secure are frequently breached with emerging attacks. In this article, we introduce a minimum impact solution that leverages predictive analysis detection and automated remediation, and demonstrate its effectiveness in securing WordPress sites against attacks exploiting both new and known flaws.

Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) militant group in the Gaza Strip arrived at ceasefire on Saturday, which put an end to five days of fighting that resulted in approximately 33 Palestinian casualties and two Israeli casualties.
Another violent escalation in Gaza ended in another cease-fire. But it did not completely halt the rocket fire and the region’s instability means the next conflagration is never far away.
While the cease-fire appeared to bring relief to Gaza’s people after days of bombing, the agreement did nothing to address the underlying issues that have fueled Israeli-Palestinian fighting over the years.

Nichols died from his injuries several days later.2This essay will be featured in the upcoming anthology, We Refuse to Be Silent, out in April 2024 from Broadleaf Books.
On Mother’s Day five years ago, we at Repairers of the Breach and the Kairos Center launched the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival with 40 days of moral fusion direct action. Some historians called those six weeks of actions at dozens of state capitals across the country simultaneously the largest and most expansive wave of nonviolent civil disobedience in history. That Mother’s Day of 2018, we gathered for a mass meeting at National City Church in Washington, D.C., and highlighted the devastating reality that 140 million poor and low-income people live in the richest country in the history of the world. We lamented the fact that 700 people die each day from poverty and inequality, that more than half of all kids are living in food insecure homes, and that too many moms have to bury their children because they lack health care, or because of gun violence and other forms of policy failure, while others struggle to keep a roof over their heads and all the essentials of life. None of this is natural or unavoidable—it is the result of b

Modern processors come with all kinds of power management features, which you don’t typically notice as a user until you start a heavy program and hear the CPU fan spin up. Back in the early 1990s however, power management was largely unheard of, meaning that a CPU with nothing to do would run through an idle loop that dissipated about as much power as a real computing task. [Michal Necasek] noticed this while experimenting with DR-DOS 6.0 in a virtual machine – his laptop fan would start running on full blast whenever he opened the VM. His search for a solution to this annoyance led him down a fascinating journey into the intricacies of DOS power management.

The gamification of social media and the resulting negative downstream effects are something we all should be keenly aware of. The larger a network becomes, the more the forces multiply and this becomes bigger and bigger of a problem.
When it comes to Bubble/GS.org, scale-wise there’s plenty of time to consider appropriate improvements.
