              trying to gauge if I should put any serious time/energy into this. I have built my own rack solution (rack, chassis, accessories) for consumer grade hardware (it follows enterprise spec).

              I am considering under the GPL of all my designs so that others can build their own commodity racks with consumer grade hardware. I'm thinking I'll blog post each of the major sections and push to each time.

              Anyone have an interest in these?

                    🦊 Cea mai populară extensie de confidențialitate din Firefox devine funcționalitate nativă!

                    Mozilla face un pas uriaș pentru protecția datelor utilizatorilor: capabilitățile oferite de celebra extensie Firefox Multi-Account Containers sunt integrate direct în codul nativ al browserului!

                    ✨ Ce înseamnă această schimbare:

                    🔒 Izolare nativă a sesiunilor:
                    • Vei putea separa identitățile digitale (Muncă, Personal, Cumpărături, Banking) direct din browser, fără a fi nevoie să mai instalezi extensii terțe.

                    ⚡ Performanță și stabilitate superioare:
                    • Fiind o funcționalitate nativă, consumul de memorie RAM și resurse CPU este semnificativ redus, iar viteza de încărcare a paginilor este îmbunătățită.

                    🛡️ Fără tracking de la un tab la altul:
                    • Cookie-urile și datele de navigare rămân complet izolate în containerul dedicat, împiedicând platformele sociale și rețelele de reclame să îți urmărească activitatea pe alte site-uri.

                    ✨ Integrare mai fină cu interfața:
                    • Gestionare mai simplă a tab-urilor, reguli automate pentru deschiderea anumitor domenii în containere specifice și o experiență de utilizare mult mai fluidă out-of-the-box.

Er nutzt unter anderem Friendica, Mastodon, PeerTube, BookWyrm und PixelFed, um seine Inhalte zu veröffentlichen und unterschiedliche Zielgruppen zu erreichen. Dabei wurde auch deutlich, wie hilfreich die Gruppenfunktion in Friendica für den thematischen Austausch sein kann.

Scopul este de a oferi dezvoltatorilor timp suficient să creeze, să testeze și să distribuie un patch fără a expune utilizatorii la atacuri cibernetice.GNOME a decis că 30 de zile sunt mai mult decât suficiente în ecosistemul lor actual, argumentând că:Ecosistemul se mișcă mai rapid: În prezent, pachetele Flatpak și integrările moderne din distribuții permit lansarea patch-urilor într-un timp mult mai scurt decât în urmă cu un deceniu.Prevenirea stagnării: O fereastră lungă de 90 de zile ducea deseori la amânarea rezolvării problemelor critice până în ultimele săptămâni înainte de expirarea termenului-limită.🔹 Ce se întâmplă dacă o vulnerabilitate nu este reparată în 30 de zile?Conform noilor reguli, odată ce un cercetător de securitate raportează confidențial o vulnerabilitate către echipa GNOME, după 30 de zile detaliile tehnice ale bug-ului pot fi făcute publice, indiferent dacă problema a fost complet remediată sau nu.Această practică crește presiunea publică asupra menținătorilor de module pentru a prioritiza rezolvarea breșelor de securitate înainte ca atacatorii să le poată exploata în masă.🔹 Excepții și flexibilitateEchipa de securitate GNOME a menționat că pot exista situații excepționale (de exemplu, vulnerabilități extrem de complexe care afectează mai multe componente ale sistemului de operare sau ale kernel-ului Linux), în care termenul poate fi extins temporar prin acord reciproc, însă regula de bază rămâne de 30 de zile.Prin această strategie agresivă, GNOME transmite un semnal clar comunității și industriei: securitatea desktop-ului Linux este o prioritate critică ce nu suportă amânări.

Diese sieben haben zusammen mittlerweile einen Marktwert von rund 18 Billionen Euro, was dem Bruttoinlandsprodukt der gesamten EU entspricht. Fast jedes der Unternehmen hat in seinem Bereich eine marktbeherrschende Stellung erreicht, kann Preise und Bedingungen diktieren.

In this full-day, hands-on workshop held by Kevin Nash, you'll experience both sides of modern Kubernetes through two self-contained labs, built entirely on open source and CNCF tooling running on upstream-conformant Kubernetes.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          🔍 In the morning, you'll build a production-ready internal developer platform with golden paths, GitOps governance, and platform observability, using tools like Karpenter, kro, ACK, Backstage, Kyverno and Argo CD. In the afternoon, you'll deploy and scale open-weight LLM (Mistral) inference workloads with GPU-aware autoscaling, distributed computing and AI agents, using vLLM, Ray, Strands Agents and NVIDIA DCGM. Two different challenges, one shared foundation: Kubernetes and the cloud-native open source ecosystem.
