The Maintainer Of The NVIDIA Open-Source "Nouveau" Linux Kernel Driver Resigns ( www.phoronix.com )

Hours after posting a large patch series for enabling the Nouveau kernel driver to use NVIDIA's GSP for improving the support for RTX 20/30 series hardware and finally enabling accelerated graphics support on RTX 40 'Ada Lovelace' GPUs, the Red Hat maintainer has resigned from his duties.

So, is SUSE not doing a traditional Linux distro anymore? I'm not really understanding this ALP move.

[My San Antonio] Texas residents with fake service dogs will be fined $1k under HB 4164 ( www.mysanantonio.com )

HB 4164, which passed both chambers and took effect on September 1, makes the false representation of animals as service animals a crime punishable by $1,000 and up to 30 hours of community service. Both locals and legislators alike are saying the misrepresentation of service dogs has increased challenges for those really in...

Hopefully this will squash the "pets everywhere" thing that has been going on over the past few years. Service animals are for the disabled, not so you can parade around your dog in public.

Not sure if still having this problem, but check your settings. See if the proper boxes are checked in the "Notifications" area.

I have free wildcard certs provided from my domain registrar. I host with Kubernetes, which allows for TLS secrets using Ingress. For external/public usage, I also have an NGINX reverse proxy in front of it.

Definitely an eye-opening view from one of the most well-respected veterans of the community. Thanks for sharing.

Best article I've read about Kbin/Lemmy in mainstream media. Kudos to the author.

Glad people are not letting that die. That's why I'm here too, despite being on Lemmy long before.

Perhaps elementary OS. Although it feels like its dying somewhat.

SUSE Preserves Choice in Enterprise Linux by Forking RHEL with a $10+ Million Investment ( www.suse.com )

SUSE is committed to working with the open source community to develop a long-term, enduring compatible alternative for RHEL and CentOS users. SUSE plans to contribute this project to an open source foundation, which will provide ongoing free access to alternative source code.

I'm really not sure what problem this is supposed to solve. Anyone can fork the current source. People don't care about forks, they want RHEL.

Open source developers - have the recent moves by RedHat changed your opinion of using non-GPL licenses? ( kbin.social )

The new license terms for RHEL are structured to stop subscribers from exercising their rights under the GPL. For now they are still providing source code albeit in a less convenient form, but technically they only need to do this for GPL licenses packages and they could remove code for BSD /MIT / Apache licensed packages....

Not sure why you'd say that. Fedora is a lot more than just Red Hat, and there are no changes to the way that works.

No, it's ultimately a product of all the community that works on it. Red Hat doesn't drive the ship.

Well, considering Linux is using GPLv2, I think it'd be too late for it to help Linux, which is kind of a big deal I guess.

Former Canonical Developer is Working on a Script that Replaces Snaps with Flatpaks ( linux.slashdot.org )

Linux magazine reports that "Former Snap co-developer Alan Pope, who left Canonical in 2021 after 10 years with the company, has developed unsnap, a script that replaces snaps with Flatpaks where available. The script, hosted on GitHub, has been tested by the developers for use on Ubuntu and all de...

Same reason why you'd automate anything. It saves you some time if that's what you're trying to do.

Considering how good Firefox is, and how much of a monopoly that Chrome-based browsers have over the web, I'd run Firefox just to support freedom of choice.

Linus Torvalds Takes On A Performance Patch: "I Relax By Playing With Inline Assembly" ( www.phoronix.com )

'Some people relax with a nice drink by the pool, I relax by playing around with inline [Assembly code],' as a nice quote of the day as Linus Torvalds explained after he took on improving upon a performance optimization patch that was proposed for the ongoing Linux 6.5 merge window.

Instances exist for more than just to access singular communities. You can access our stuff here, and we will go to y'all as well. This is no small community either. We choose to be on kbin for a reason.

Thanks for the heads-up! It's not meant to be a list of official communities. Just a list of magazines that exist. Nothing stopping kbin users from wanting to use it, and do their own thing locally.

Added. Thanks.
