Dear Reader, Some dramatic stuff is going down right now for a few of the powerful organizations that run the Internet. The .org top-level domain, as you probably know, is home to many charities and nonprofit organizations. Traditionally, the price of a.org domain has been kept low to make it affordable for small-time community organizations and charities. But sometime last year, the Internet Society (ISOC) announced a plan to remove the price caps. They put the question up for public comment and received more than 3,000 comments opposing this idea and 6 in favor of it. In spite of the resounding level of disapproval, they went ahead with the plan. A new contract that removed the price caps was announced in July 2019. Before going on I should expand a…

Kernel Gatherings Canceled Due to COVID-19 There are normally many Linux and open source conferences throughout the year. These have started to see some disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In mid-March, Josef Bacik announced that one of the storage, memory, and networking summits would not be happening in April as planned. He said: “We currently do not have concrete plans about how we will reschedule; the Linux Foundation is working very hard at getting us alternative dates as we speak. Once the new plans are concretely made, we will notify everyone again with the new plans. “The tentative plan is to keep the attendees as they are if we reschedule within 2020. This includes anybody that declined for travel-related concerns. We will re-send all invitations again to the original…

Science projects with the Python MetPy library Are you stumped by your kids’ homework? Sometimes answering their science questions can be quite challenging. Luckily, some great resources and software packages can help parents out of a homework jam. A good example is the MetPy Python library [1], which has some awesome thermodynamic and weather functions. In this article, I introduce the MetPy library and show how it can be used to solve questions like: Can you make snow when it’s above freezing? How much thinner is the air with altitude? How do you calculate wind chill? Getting Started To install the MetPy Python library, enter: One of nice things about MetPy is that it manages scientific units, so a variable is defined with both its value and units. In the…

Jon “maddog” Hall is an author, educator, computer scientist, and free software pioneer who has been a passionate advocate for Linux since 1994 when he first met Linus Torvalds and facilitated the port of Linux to a 64-bit system. He serves as president of Linux International®. United We Stand I write this on March 25, 2020, and reflect on what a month can mean. A month ago, the people around me knew about the impact of the coronavirus on China, but were in denial about its effects on the United States. I was scheduled to attend three conferences in Brazil, one of which was very large and would attract thousands of people for a week. On February 27, I wrote a detailed email to the organizers of the largest conference…

Sparkling gems and new releases from the world of Free and Open Source Software Radio scanning SDRangel Software-defined radio (SDR) is a subject that may sound too nerdy even for the average Linux user, perhaps the equivalent of Citizens Band (CB) radio in the 1970s and 1980s. But like CB radio, the useful and technically geeky aspects of this technology can also make it very appealing. For one thing, SDR needs very little hardware to get started. A simple, low-cost, DVB USB receiver is all you need initially, and many of us have spare devices simply because digital radio and television has moved from broadcast to streaming. SDR replaces the plethora of hardware needed to investigate the radio signals in the ether with clever algorithms and processing, allowing you to…

There’s nothing like someone’s passing to get one to reflect on the fickle nature of life. The Xen Project’s [1] very lively chairperson, Lars Kurth, sadly passed away not long after our interview at the Open Source Summit in November 2019. Lars had been with the project for almost a decade and was instrumental in several pivotal moments in Xen’s history, including its move to the Linux Foundation. He conceptualized and executed several key decisions and supervised the significant architectural changes that helped the project go beyond the realm of server virtualization and cloud computing. In his last interview, Lars talked about the project’s various threads of development and how Xen is all set to disrupt the auto industry. Linux Magazine: What’s happening with the Xen Project? Lars Kurth: The…

All-in-one performance analysis with standard Linux tools When the performance analysis book by Brendan Gregg [1], which I had long been waiting for, appeared recently, I devoured it greedily. I even had access to a prerelease so that in January I was able to give the readers of Linux Magazine some tips on the kernel probes for throughput measurement by means of the Berkeley Packet Filters [2]. Performance guru Gregg also explains at the beginning of the book how he often uses classic command-line tools to find out what is causing a struggling server to suffer. 10 Commands He starts off with a list of 10 commandline utilities (Listing 1) [3], which every Unix system understands, checks everyday things – such as how long the system has been running without…

BerryLan simplifies headless Raspberry Pi install The Raspbian operating system can get the Raspberry Pi up and running – with or without a desktop environment. Starting with the standard installation, the system can be adapted to your own needs with very little effort. However, this requires a connected keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Even SSH access is a little more complicated because Raspbian has not started the SSH server automatically for some time now [1]. Building a headless Raspberry Pi (i.e., a computer without peripherals or even a network cable) requires more effort and a certain amount of know-how. Before the Raspbian system starts for the first time, the/etc/wpa_supplicant configuration file has to be edited and the network access credentials entered. The BerryLan project seeks to handle this work for you…

Nextcloud Partners with IONOS In times of crisis, open source projects step up big. That’s exactly what Nextcloud has done. In the current climate, companies have had to quickly migrate to cloud solutions, only to find themselves bumping up against serious privacy and security issues. Because of the 2018 CLOUD act, authorities could obtain data without prior judicial review for this request. With so many companies and employees having to migrate from their inhouse cloud platforms and turn to various third-party cloud services, Nextcloud and IONOS have come together to ensure sovereignty over customer data. Because both companies are housed in Germany, anyone using the Nextcloud platform on IONOS is guaranteed maximum protection against the US CLOUD Act. Achim Weiß, CEO of IONOS, had this to say about the partnership:…
