Linux Mint has announced a new app to support fingerprint authentication. It includes 'smarter' PAM integration to preempt authentication issues, and fall back to password login if needed.
All open source projects can use more contributions, so here are some places where you can start for @rockylinux !
This page has a list of active Special Interest Groups, like the Cloud or Security SIGs. There's also a list of areas where you can lead the change in making a SIG for it, like for embedded systems or storage applications! wiki.rockylinux.org/special_in…
Like many of you, I work on a lot of different projects. Even when a project
is less serious—hey, I should check out this new JS framework!—I
strive to reduce the friction involved with setting up the project's dev
environment to the absolute bare mi…
My #Ubuntu desktop in October 2008. The desktop dock is AWN (Avant Window Navigator) - I still use Firefox, Rhythmbox, VLC and GNOME Terminal. Seeing Second Life and Picasa there takes me back! Can't recall what the Windows icon on the dock launched as I didn't use VMs. Wine, perhaps? But the most dated thing in that screenshot is the panel shortcut for xkill. Modern handling shows a 'wait or force quit' dialog when apps hang.
True, it has come a long way. RIP Picasa though. Still IMHO the best Picture manager, striking the perfect balance of usability, features, performance, looks (suggestions welcome)
it's a pretty bad photo of almost stock Red Hat 7.1 across 2 monitors (xinerama). I had both an AGP and PCI card in the computer to do this. Note the 15 and 17" CRT mismatch. From 2002. Also had a Pentium 1 running a firewall just for this silly single PC. Biggest waste of power, but all learning. Looks like 6.06 in your photo?
@chaslinux That photo is such a vibe though. I don't think I've ever seen a dual monitor CRT setup before! My screenie is running Ubuntu 8.10 from memory, as it's one of the earliest screenshots in the blog archive and I started blogging just before 8.10 was released (and Ubuntu 7.10 was my first release, never got to try 6.06).
Unfortunately, I didn't try Linux until Ubuntu 10.04 and I have no surviving pictures of this unfortunately, but I used it until 11.04 (and almost when 11.10 came out), and I remember thinking the default theme was better than macOS!
That laptop needed an hard drive replacement unfortunately...
Attention server admins! Yesterday I've read a post by @simon_brooke how nasty AI scraper bots are attacking his self-hosted @forgejo instance. Soon after I'm seeing unusual, periodic traffic spikes on mine and again - dominated by OpenAI, but some other freeloaders too:
They've been hammering my little server periodically today as well, slowing down my instance dramatically as if I was experiencing malicious DDoS attack Well, in a sense it is one
Watch out - it seems corporate AI techbros learned to scrape content and starts doing it on a massive scale Remember when @Codeberg was (and repeatedly is) hit?
For now blocked IP ranges and User-Agent combinations, not sure for how long that will be enough

H'mmm... My @forgejo instance has been hit very hard last night by AI crawlers, including from
* https://openai.com/gptbot (125,467 hits in 24 hours)
* https://developers.facebook.
Yea in my case I think ironically me hosting my own private instance off the public internet may be priming me against it, as much as I don't like being super private.
