#LabPlot, the project for #statisticians, #researchers, #scientists, #engineers, #educators and #students, publishes version 2.12 of its #FREE comprehensive #dataAnalysis and #visualization tool. :boost_love:🚀

This version adds more plots and #plot sub-types, expands the number of functions for spreadsheets, includes new analysis tools, as well as an experimental software development kit.

sausage is a terminal word forming game, written in Bash.

This game was inspired by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookworm_(video_game).

https://gitlab.com/christosangel/sausage/-/raw/main/screenshots/game.png

The aim is to score points by creating words, moving around in six directions in the grid, using consecutive letters.

When the user created longer words, coloured letters appear. The user can score more points by using these coloured letters.

More points can also be scored, when the user manages to create the bonus words.

When smaller words are created, or low point yielding words, red letters appear in the grid. If not used, these red letters will drop one cell in every turn.

When a red letter reaches beyond the bottom of the grid, the game is over.

The user can also reshuffle the letters in the grid, in order to be able to create words. However, there is a price to this action: the existing red letters will drop one cell, all other bonus coloured letters will be lost, and more red letters will appear.

If the score is among the 10 best scores achieved, it makes it in the Top Ten Highscores.

This game is named sausage as a tribute to BlackAdder S03E02: Ink and Incapability:

Renowned writer and lexicographer Dr. Samuel Johnson starts to read a tiny scrap of paper containing Baldrick's miniscule novel:

Once upon a time, there was a lovely little sausage called...

...only to realize that after 18 years of arduous work, he failed to include the word SAUSAGE in his magnum opus.

My 3rd Gen Rev A Apple TV (Model A1469) has been sitting around in a drawer for a long time and I was considering recycling it. But it works perfectly (minus the drawbacks of it having old technology) and I can’t stand the idea of wasting something useful.

What can I put on this to repurpose this? I like the idea of first using it for network storage and eventually using it as a retro gaming console (is that possible? Can it recognize wireless controllers?) but I don’t know any applications or OSs that I can use. And what else is possible that I may not have considered? Has anyone else successfully done something like this?

Is there another community that I may benefit from posting this into? Here was my first thought because I’ve seen how resourceful everyone here is and I am a big supporter of open source software (which has me rethinking all of my future technology purchases 🙃).

Any help that explains like I’m 5 will also be especially appreciated since I am still learning these things 🙏🏻

Thanks!

Inspired by the incredible Little Snitch application for macOS, Cloud Snitch does the same thing for the cloud. And it's 100% open source! (github.com/ccbrown/cloud-snitch)

uSentry is a lightweight, self-hosted Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Single Sign-On (SSO) solution designed for homelab and small-scale environments.

⚡ A single PHP file. < 400 lines of code. No database. No background processes. No cloud. Just works. ⚡

Most IAM and SSO solutions require databases, certificates and background services baked into a dozen containers. This is all fine but also also overkill for homelabs and impossible for low-power ARM devices. uSentry is different, it isn't pretty but it sucks less for a lot of use cases.

Enjoy!

I made a simple Next.js-based blog engine. It is primarily for people developing their own Next.js project and considering to implement a blog. It is currently backed by Supabase but I plan on making adapters for other data layers. in addition, currently working on Node.js version. Looking for ideas, feedback and collaborators.

The GCC developers are pleased to announce the release of GCC 15.1.

The C frontend now defaults to the GNU C23 dialect. Some code needs porting for this. Some remaining C23 features have been implemented, as well as some new C2Y features.

The C++ frontend now implements several further C++26 features, some missing C++23 bits, and defect report resolutions. The libstdc++ library now notably experimentally supports std and std.compat modules, more algorithms usable in constexpr functions, flat maps and sets, and std::format support for containers and other ranges.

GCC now implements the Clang [[clang::musttail]] and [[clang::flag_enum]] attributes and their GNU counterparts with the same meaning for the C family language frontends. Support for new counted_by and nonnull_if_nonzero attributes has been added too.

The Fortran frontend has experimental support for unsigned integers.

GCC 15.1 has new COBOL frontend, so far supported only on a few 64-bit targets.

OpenMP support now includes metadirectives, tile and unroll constructs, interop construct and dispatch construct.

The vectorizer can now vectorize loops with early exits when array or buffer sizes aren't statically known. At -O2 can now vectorize some cheaply vectorizable loops with unknown tripcount.

Some code that compiled successfully with older GCC versions might require source changes, see Porting to GCC 15 for details.

For details see GCC 15 Release Series Changes, New Features, and Fixes).

The UK Post Office should at least have considered open source software for Horizon to enhance transparency, empower users, and avoid vendor lock-in, which could have prevented or mitigated the scandal’s impact. People like Richard Moorhead, Christopher Hodges, Alan Bates, and the long running Computer Weekly coverage all underscore the need for transparency and accountability, indirectly supporting open source principles, although direct advocacy is rare. For future systems, the Post Office and similar organizations should prioritize open source to prevent such injustices.

The establishment narrative often focuses on individual accountability rather than systemic issues like software design. But this overlooks how proprietary systems enabled the Post Office to deflect responsibility.

Open source software aligns with ethical principles of justice, autonomy, and resource stewardship, making it a compelling alternative for future public sector IT projects.

Thoughts?!

For virtualization there are improvements for VirtIO, vfio and Loongarch CPU hotplug. On the emulation side additions for Arm, RiscV and even some speed ups for x86 string ops. On the documentation side a whole bunch of work has been done on QMP API to make it clearer and more navigable.

This looks way to break with chip restrictions bound by the leading software package AUTOSAR. But I think, like all FOSS, will benefit everyone in the end.

1: how many of you have used it before and do you like it over (non-foss) NextDNS?

2: Which one should I use if I want to block ads on all apps (iOS), DoT or DoH?

@opensource l am completely new in the world of Linux. I wish to build up a computer having Proxmox, MX Linux and casa os, also retaining windows.

Can you please guide me in the process, how to start building one right from the scratch ?

Question: I'm running Linux Mint right now. Is it possible to change distro to ... for example OpenSuse - without a clean install ?
