              Publiqué un nuevo artículo donde documenté paso a paso cómo configurar GeoIP2 en Nginx detrás de Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) para registrar la IP real del visitante, país y ciudad en el access.log.

              Este trabajo fue la base para un proyecto que estoy desarrollando: un monitor en Python que analiza el access.log en tiempo real y envía alertas a Telegram.

              Algunas de las funciones que estoy implementando:

              🌍 Nuevos países y ciudades visitantes.
              🚨 Intentos sospechosos (/.env, /wp-admin, phpmyadmin, etc.).
              📈 Alertas por alto tráfico.
              📊 Estadísticas y resúmenes diarios de actividad.

              En los próximos días compartiré un nuevo artículo explicando cómo construir este sistema de monitoreo paso a paso y luego publicaré el código en GitHub.

                                                                                                                În centrul atenției din această săptămână se află trei proiecte remarcabile: Drauger OS 7.8, AnduinOS 2.0.0 și Slackel 9.0 „MATE”.
                                                                                                                Iată cele mai importante detalii despre fiecare lansare majoră:
                                                                                                                🎮 1. Drauger OS 7.8 – Distribuiția axată pe gaming primește optimizări
                                                                                                                Drauger OS este o distribuție specializată, construită special pentru utilizatorii care vor o consolă de jocuri video pe PC, lăsând la o parte aplicațiile tradiționale de birou în favoarea performanței brute în gaming.
                                                                                                                Securitate cu Rust: Una dintre cele mai mari noutăți tehnice este implementarea simbolică a utilitarului sudo-rs (o rescriere mai sigură în Rust a comenzii sudo). Deși legătura este activă, echipa avertizează utilizatorii care folosesc scripturi complexe că anumite funcții mai vechi nu sunt complet implementate încă.
                                                                                                                Suport hardware extins: Versiunea 7.8 aduce o compatibilitate superioară cu o gamă uriașă de periferice, de la tastaturi și mouși de gaming până la controllere și simulatoare de zbor complexe, facilitând configurarea rapidă a jocurilor.
                                                                                                                🐧 2. AnduinOS 2.0.0 – Fluiditate crescută pentru productivitate zilnică
                                                                                                                AnduinOS se concentrează pe oferirea unui desktop elegant, rapid și foarte stabil pentru fluxurile de lucru intense. Versiunea 2.0.0 vine cu imagini ISO pregătite atât pentru arhitecturile de procesoare x86_64, cât și pentru aarch64 (ARM).
                                                                                                                Optimizări de sistem: Sub capotă, sistemul vine configurat din fabrică cu valori modificate pentru swappiness=10 și limite crescute pentru fs.inotify. Această ajustare garantează o gestionare mult mai eficientă a memoriei RAM și o fluiditate crescută a interfeței grafice chiar și sub sarcini grele de procesare.
                                                                                                                Audio și Secure Boot: Include firmware-ul audio Intel SOF preinstalat pentru compatibilitate cu cele mai recente plăci de sunet, oferind toate acestea fără a compromite funcționalitatea de Secure Boot la pornirea sistemului.
                                                                                                                ⚓ 3. Slackel 9.0 „MATE” – Tradiția Slackware într-un format modern
                                                                                                                Bazată pe Slackware și Salix, Slackel 9.0 aduce simplitatea și robustețea sistemelor de tip Slack într-o formă accesibilă datorită mediului grafic ușor MATE.
                                                                                                                Instalator modernizat: Versiunea 9.0 introduce un utilitar grafic de instalare complet revizuit, capabil să configureze sistemul extrem de simplu nu doar pe SSD-uri/HDD-uri interne, ci și pe medii de stocare externe portabile (cum ar fi stick-uri USB rapide).
                                                                                                                Dual-Mode: Imaginile ISO sunt hibride, permițând rularea sistemului direct în mod Live (fără modificări pe disc) sau pornirea procesului complet de instalare.
                                                                                                                🌍 Alte lansări notabile din Săptămâna 27:

I used to use 's Blue Light free dial-up service back when was around. I started with a 28.8kbps modem. My mother had call waiting at the time so sometimes my connection would get interrupted which was fine. I bought Red Hat 5.2 for I think $12.

I always had plans and dreams but I couldn't make them real because they are too hard. I also had to learn about tech more first, like learning what is libre software etc.

                                                                                                                                  Anyway, like realism should be our priority, sim should be coming with FPV only (first person view). No other views should be allowed.

                                                                                                                                  Simulation should simulate human's senses like hot/cold temperature, making very hard brake should move camera, driving bad should move the camera, or flooring the gas pedal etc.

                                                                                                                                  We should be able to click stuff inside the vehicle just like flight sims.

                                                                                                                                  Sim must be compatible with PlayStation controllers as they are the best imo.

                                                                                                                                  3D surround sound with headphones would be great.

                                                                                                                                  Simulator should be libre too.

                                                                                                                                  If we put support for maps/mods, the sim will get larger by community support.

                                                                                                                                  Having AI traffic would be amazing too.

                                                                                                                                  Driving simulators helped me A LOT with passing my driving exam.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          Negation is proposed metadata for indicating the complement of a term's meaning.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          GUCAC forms thoughts from inside to outside. The first four stages of thought formation are Creation, Description, Articulation and Specialization. These stages correspond to the four layers of a glyph. An optional fifth stage is negation which corresponds to unplugging the hub.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          Negation comes last because positive logic tends to be less confusing than negative logic. Thus ideas are first constructed of positive thoughts and then revealed to be false and disbelieved as needed.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          The hub is the triangle and circle in the center of the glyph as shown in this diagram.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          Terminology and Graphic Conventions
                                                                                                                                                                                                          The line segments (elements) within a glyph are further classified as radial spokes or circumferential laths in inner or outer layers, and are aligned in eight distinct directions (octants). Within each layer the elements are also grouped on either the right or left side. The central circle (hub, not an element) is positive or true when filled (plugged, the triangular plug is an element) and negative or false when empty (unplugged). These classifications are used to provide a symbolic superstructure which help a viewer to associate the state of the glyph (aspect) with its meaning (term).

                                                                                                                                                                                                          The hub is always printed. This provides a reference for the placement of the other elements. Without a hub it is difficult to tell if a single spoke is above or below the center and whether it is an inner or outer spoke. The plug within the hub is a triangle that 'points' to the left. This is intended to show the orientation of a glyph (in case it is viewed upside down). The triangle points to the 'beginning' (the left inner spokes) of a glyph.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          More, less, major, minor, active and passive (Yang and Yin) are common principals across the mental, social and physical realms. By tying these binary principals to the classifications described above, we hope to associate a glyph's aspect with an engram of an individual's experience and thereby imbue it with meaning.

The GPL lets anyone use, change, and resell the code on one condition: pass the same freedom on, source included. That is why Oracle can rebuild Red Hat's Linux package by package and sell it as Oracle Linux. Red Hat has no recourse. To own Linux you would first have to unwrite the license on every copy in the world. No vendor moats the base, only the service.
