91 <title>Applied Pokology: Array boundaries and closures in Poke</title> |
|
|
|
92 <link>http://jemarch.net/pokology-03102019.html</link> |
|
|
|
93 <content:encoded>Poke arrays are rather peculiar. One of their seemingly |
|
|
|
94 bizarre characteristics is the fact that the expressions |
|
|
|
95 calculating their boundaries (when they are bounded) evaluate |
|
|
|
96 in their own lexical environment, which is captured. In other |
|
|
|
97 words: the expressions denoting the boundaries of Poke arrays |
|
|
|
98 conform closures. Also, the way they evaluate may be |
|
|
|
99 surprising. This is no capricious.</content:encoded> |

|
|
|
133 from a git-cloned gzip directory:<br /> |
|
|
|
134 git checkout v1.11<br /> |
|
|

137 ==================================================================<br /> |
|

|
138 Here are the compressed sources:<br /> |
|
|
|
139 https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/gzip-1.11.tar.gz (1.2MB)<br /> |
|
|
|
140 https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/gzip-1.11.tar.xz (788KB)<br /> |

|
142 Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]:<br /> |

|
143 https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/gzip-1.11.tar.gz.sig<br /> |
|
|

147 https://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html<br /> |
|
|
|
148 <br /> |
|
|
|
149 Here are SHA1 and SHA256 checksums:<br /> |
|
|
|
150 ee2d3f44d8b370db7090b4c3250132cd62b38ec6 gzip-1.11.tar.gz<br /> |

154 <br /> |
|
|
|
155 The SHA256 checksum is base64 encoded, instead of the<br /> |
|
|
|
156 hexadecimal encoding that most checksum tools default to.<br /> |
|
|
|
157 <br /> |
|
|
|
158 [*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the<br /> |
|
|
|
159 .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file<br /> |
|
|
|
160 and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:<br /> |
|
|
|
161 <br /> |
|
|
|
162 gpg --verify gzip-1.11.tar.gz.sig<br /> |
|
|
|
163 <br /> |
|
|
|
164 If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,<br /> |
|
|
|
165 then run this command to import it:<br /> |
|
|
|
166 <br /> |
|
|
|
167 gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 7FD9FCCB000BEEEE<br /> |
|
|
|
168 <br /> |
|
|
|
169 and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.<br /> |
|

318 <h2>About GNU Parallel</h2> |
|
|
|
319 |
|
|
|
320 <p>GNU Parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel using one or more computers. A job can be a single command or a small script that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The typical input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a list of URLs, or a list of tables. A job can also be a command that reads from a pipe. GNU Parallel can then split the input and pipe it into commands in parallel. |
|
|
|
321 <br /> |
|
|
|
322 </p> |
|
|
|
323 <p>If you use xargs and tee today you will find GNU Parallel very easy to use as GNU Parallel is written to have the same options as xargs. If you write loops in shell, you will find GNU Parallel may be able to replace most of the loops and make them run faster by running several jobs in parallel. GNU Parallel can even replace nested loops. |
|
|
|
324 <br /> |
|
|
|
325 </p> |
|
|
|
326 <p>GNU Parallel makes sure output from the commands is the same output as you would get had you run the commands sequentially. This makes it possible to use output from GNU Parallel as input for other programs. |
|
|
|
327 <br /> |
|
|
|
328 </p> |
|
|
|
329 <p>For example you can run this to convert all jpeg files into png and gif files and have a progress bar: |
|
|
|
330 <br /> |
|
|
|
331 </p> |
|
|
|
332 <p> parallel --bar convert {1} {1.}.{2} ::: *.jpg ::: png gif |
|
|
|
333 <br /> |
|
|
|
334 </p> |
|
|
|
335 <p>Or you can generate big, medium, and small thumbnails of all jpeg files in sub dirs: |
|
|
|
336 <br /> |
|
|
|
337 </p> |
|
|
|
338 <p> find . -name '*.jpg' | |
|
|
|
339 <br /> |
|
|
|
340 parallel convert -geometry {2} {1} {1//}/thumb{2}_{1/} :::: - ::: 50 100 200 |
|
|
|

414 <h2>About GNU SQL</h2> |
|
|
|
415 |
|
|
|
416 <p>GNU sql aims to give a simple, unified interface for accessing databases through all the different databases' command line clients. So far the focus has been on giving a common way to specify login information (protocol, username, password, hostname, and port number), size (database and table size), and running queries. |
|
|
|
417 <br /> |
|
|
|
418 </p> |
|
|
|
419 <p>The database is addressed using a DBURL. If commands are left out you will get that database's interactive shell. |

429 <h2>About GNU Niceload</h2> |
|
|
|
430 |
|
|
|
431 <p>GNU niceload slows down a program when the computer load average (or other system activity) is above a certain limit. When the limit is reached the program will be suspended for some time. If the limit is a soft limit the program will be allowed to run for short amounts of time before being suspended again. If the limit is a hard limit the program will only be allowed to run when the system is below the limit.<br /> |

|

457 |
|
|
|
458 |
|
|
|
459 <p>Immediately knowing about the earthquake, we contacted our representative in Haiti, <strong>Pierre Michel</strong> <strong>Augustin</strong>, and started an emergency humanitarian response in coordination with our team in the country . </p> |

463 <p>Haiti suffers from recurrent <strong>natural disasters</strong> (hurricanes, earthquakes). In the last years, Haiti has also been a victim of <strong>structural poverty and civil unrest.</strong> Haitians are strong, resilient, noble people. Haiti is the land of the free and the brave (see my post “<em><a href="https://meanmicio.org/2019/04/12/my-trip-to-haiti-the-land-of-the-free-and-the-brave/">My trip to Haiti, the land of the Free and the Brave</a></em>” ), yet it seems like the <strong>world has forgotten about Hait</strong>i.</p> |

475 <p>We need emergency response now, but we also need to work on Social Medicine, and tackle the socioeconomic determinants that are the root cause of the structural poverty in Haiti. Only then, our Haitians brothers and sisters will be able to recover the dignity that they deserve, and grow in prosperity. We need to create the conditions, working the local community in the country to strengthen the public health and education system. <a href="https://www.gnuhealth.org">GNU Health</a> is part of this program. </p> |

|
|
|
478 |
|
|
|
479 <p>Our local representative, engineer Pierre Michel Augustin, has been working in the localization of GNU Health, and by the end of 2021, we will have the GNU Health node fully operational in Limbé. The Haiti GNU Health office will provide training and support to the local and regional health professionals and institutions.</p> |

487 <p>Natural disasters have a profound impact in the short, medium and long period in any nation. The situation gets much worse when they hit impoverished nations. So, in the short term, we will put all the effort to tackle this emergency and save lives. For the medium and long term, we will continue the GNU Health node in Haiti and building the GNU Health Federation in the country, in cooperation with the local team, academic and health institutions. </p> |

491 <p>Creating local capacity is key to make the project sustainable. Resources will be dedicated to build the infrastructure (hardware, network..), but the main focus and effort will be on building local capacity, and training the local team to make them independent and build a sustainable and ethical model.</p> |

578 and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:<br /> |
|
|
|
579 <br /> |

582 If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,<br /> |

601 Use of the --unix-byte-offsets (-u) option now evokes a warning.<br /> |

605 <br /> |
|
|
|
606 Preprocessing N patterns would take at least O(N^2) time when too many<br /> |
|
|
|
607 patterns hashed to too few buckets. This now takes seconds, not days:<br /> |
|

|
|
|
617 <content:encoded><p>Last year <a href="https://www.archlinux.org/news/accessible-installation-medium/">Arch integrated the features from the TalkingArch project into archiso</a> and some months ago <a href="https://archlinux.org/news/installation-medium-with-installer/">they added an installer into their installation medium</a>. As a result, and with some delay, TalkingParabola was deprecated and we added these features to our ISOs too. They are available in out <a href="https://www.parabola.nu/download/">download page</a> as well.</p> |
|
|
|
618 <p>Note that although the OpenRC LXDE ISO has the speech boot option, this only works for CLI. Screen reader support will be added in the future for the GUI and the current installer will be replaced with one based in <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/revenge-installer/">Zen Installer</a>.</p></content:encoded> |

623 <title>GNU Taler news: Code Blau GmbH deploys first external Taler auditor</title> |

626 We received a grant from NLnet foundation with the goal to qualify Code Blau GmbH to act as an external auditor for GNU Taler. To do this, we created a guide that describes how to deploy a Taler auditor and then practiced the steps using the existing Taler exchange deployment at BFH. Code Blau wrote a report detailing all the steps taken. Finally, we have created a draft of the kind of business agreement that Code Blau would enter with banks operating the Taler payment system. We thank CodeBlau for their work, and NLnet and the European Commission's Horizion 2020 NGI initiative for funding this work. |

636 GNUnet 0.15.0 released |
|
|
|
637 </h1> |
|
|
|
638 <p> |
|
|
|
639 We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.15.0. |
|
|
|
640 <br /> |
|
|
|
641 This is a new major release. It breaks protocol compatibility with the 0.14.x versions. |
|
|
|
642 Please be aware that Git master is thus henceforth |
|
|
|
643 <b> |
|
|
|
644 INCOMPATIBLE |
|
|
|
645 </b> |
|
|
|
646 with |
|
|
|
647 the 0.14.x GNUnet network, and interactions between old and new peers |
|
|
|
648 will result in issues. 0.14.x peers will be able to communicate with Git |
|
|
|
649 master or 0.14.x peers, but some services - in particular GNS - will not be compatible. |
|
|
|
650 <br /> |
|
|
|
651 The MESSENGER service goes out of experimental to be used by |
|
|
|
652 libraries and applications as dependency. It handles decentralized |
|
|
|
653 messaging in flexible groups by using the CADET service and messages |
|
|
|
654 can be signed with your ego from the IDENTITY service. The service |
|
|
|
655 is still in an early stage, so its protocol (currently version 0.1) |
|
|
|
656 will likely adapt or change in future releases to some degree. |
|
|
|
657 <br /> |
|
|
|
658 In terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still |
|
|
|
659 <b> |
|
|
|
660 a number of known open issues |
|
|
|
661 </b> |
|
|
|
662 in particular with respect to ease |
|
|
|
663 of use, but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users. |
|
|
|
664 Also, the nascent network is tiny and thus unlikely to |
|
|
|
665 provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting information. |
|
|
|
666 As a result, the 0.15.0 release is still |
|
|
|
667 <b> |
|
|
|
668 only suitable for early adopters |
|
|
|
669 with some reasonable pain tolerance |
|

|

890 <title>GNU Guix: Taming the ‘stat’ storm with a loader cache</title> |
|
|
|
891 <link>https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2021/taming-the-stat-storm-with-a-loader-cache/</link> |
|
|
|
892 <content:encoded><p>It was one of these days where some of us on IRC were rehashing that old |
|
|
|
893 problem—that application startup in Guix causes a |
|
|
|
894 “<a href="https://linux.die.net/man/2/stat"><code>stat</code></a> storm”—and lamenting the |
|
|
|
895 lack of a solution when suddenly, Ricardo |
|
|
|
896 <a href="https://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/2020-11-24.log#183934">proposes</a> what, |
|
|
|
897 in hindsight, looks like an obvious solution: “maybe we could use a |
|
|
|
898 per-application ld cache?”. A moment where collective thinking exceeds |
|
|
|
899 the sum of our individual thoughts. The result is one of the many |
|
|
|
900 features that made it in the <code>core-updates</code> branch, slated to be merged |
|
|
|
901 in the coming weeks, one that reduces application startup time.</p><h1>ELF files and their dependencies</h1><p>Before going into detail, let’s look at what those “<code>stat</code> storms” look |
|
|
|
902 like and where they come from. Loading an |
|
|
|
903 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_and_Linkable_Format">ELF</a> |
|
|
|
904 executable involves loading the shared libraries (the <code>.so</code> files, for |
|
|
|
905 “shared objects”) it depends on, recursively. This is the job of the |
|
|
|
906 <em>loader</em> (or <em>dynamic linker</em>), <code>ld.so</code>, which is part of the GNU C |
|
|
|
907 Library (glibc) package. What shared libraries an executable like that |
|
|
|
908 of Emacs depends on? The <code>ldd</code> command answers that question:</p><pre><code>$ ldd $(type -P .emacs-27.2-real) |
|
|
|
909 linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff565bb000) |
|

916 […] |
|
|
|
917 $ ldd $(type -P .emacs-27.2-real) | wc -l |
|
|
|
918 89</code></pre><p>(If you’re wondering why we’re looking at <code>.emacs-27.2-real</code> rather than |
|
|
|
919 <code>emacs-27.2</code>, it’s because in Guix the latter is a tiny shell wrapper |
|
|
|
920 around the former.)</p><p>To load a graphical program like Emacs, the loader needs to load more |
|
|
|
921 than 80 shared libraries! Each is in its own <code>/gnu/store</code> sub-directory |
|
|
|
922 in Guix, one directory per package.</p><p>But how does <code>ld.so</code> know where to find these libraries in the first |
|
|
|
923 place? In Guix, during the link phase that produces an ELF file |
|
|
|
924 (executable or shared library), we tell the |
|
|
|
925 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linker_%28computing%29">linker</a> to |
|
|
|
926 populate the <code>RUNPATH</code> entry of the ELF file with the list of |
|
|
|
927 directories where its dependencies may be found. This is done by |
|
|
|
928 passing |
|
|
|
929 <a href="https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Options.html#index-_002drpath_003ddir"><code>-rpath</code></a> |
|
|
|
930 options to the linker, which Guix’s <a href="https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/ld-wrapper.in">“linker |
|
|
|
931 wrapper”</a> |
|
|
|
932 takes care of. The <code>RUNPATH</code> is the <em>run-time library search path</em>: |
|
|
|
933 it’s a colon-separated list of directories where <code>ld.so</code> will look for |
|
|
|
934 shared libraries when it loads an ELF file. We can look at the |
|
|
|
935 <code>RUNPATH</code> of our Emacs executable like this:</p><pre><code>$ objdump -x $(type -P .emacs-27.2-real) | grep RUNPATH |
|
|
|
936 RUNPATH /gnu/store/fa6wj5bxkj5ll1d7292a70knmyl7a0cr-glibc-2.31/lib:/gnu/store/01b4w3m6mp55y531kyi1g8shh722kwqm-gcc-7.5.0-lib/lib:/gnu/store/l1wwr5c34593gqxvp34qbwdkaf7xhdbd-libtiff-4.2.0/lib:/gnu/store/5khkwz9g6vza1n4z8xlmdrwhazz7m8wp-libjpeg-turbo-2.0.5/lib:[…]</code></pre><p>This <code>RUNPATH</code> has 39 entries, which roughly corresponds to the number |
|
|
|
937 of direct dependencies of the executable—dependencies are listed as |
|
|
|
938 <code>NEEDED</code> entries in the ELF file:</p><pre><code>$ objdump -x $(type -P .emacs-27.2-real) | grep NEED | head |
|
|
|
939 NEEDED libtiff.so.5 |
|
|
|
940 NEEDED libjpeg.so.62 |
|
|
|
941 NEEDED libpng16.so.16 |
|
|
|
942 NEEDED libz.so.1 |
|
|
|
943 NEEDED libgif.so.7 |
|
|
|
944 NEEDED libXpm.so.4 |
|
|

945 NEEDED libgtk-3.so.0 |

948 NEEDED libpango-1.0.so.0 |
|
|
|
949 $ objdump -x $(type -P .emacs-27.2-real) | grep NEED | wc -l |
|
|
|
950 52</code></pre><p>(Some of these <code>.so</code> files live in the same directory, which is why |
|
|
|
951 there are more <code>NEEDED</code> entries than directories in the <code>RUNPATH</code>.)</p><p>A system such as Debian that follows the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard">file system hierarchy |
|
|
|
952 standard</a> |
|
|
|
953 (FHS), where all libraries are in <code>/lib</code> or <code>/usr/lib</code>, does not have to |
|
|
|
954 bother with <code>RUNPATH</code>: all <code>.so</code> files are known to be found in one of |
|
|
|
955 these two “standard” locations. Anyway, let’s get back to our initial |
|
|
|
956 topic: the “<code>stat</code> storm”.</p><h1>Walking search paths</h1><p>As you can guess, when we run Emacs, the loader first needs to locate |
|
|
|
957 and load the 80+ shared libraries it depends on. That’s where things |
|
|
|
958 get pretty inefficient: the loader will search each <code>.so</code> file Emacs |
|
|
|
959 depends on in one of the 39 directories listed in its <code>RUNPATH</code>. |
|
|
|
960 Likewise, when it finally finds <code>libgtk-3.so</code>, it’ll look for its |
|
|
|
961 dependencies in each of the directories in its <code>RUNPATH</code>. We can see |
|
|
|
962 that at play by tracing system calls with the |
|
|
|
963 <a href="https://strace.io/"><code>strace</code></a> command:</p><pre><code>$ strace -c emacs --version |

1009 […]</code></pre><p>Above is the sequence where we see <code>ld.so</code> look for <code>libpng16.so.16</code>, |
|
|
|
1010 searching in locations where we <em>know</em> it’s not going to find it. A bit |
|
|
|
1011 ridiculous. How does this affect performance? The impact is small in |
|
|
|
1012 the most favorable case—on a hot cache, with fast solid state device |
|
|
|
1013 (SSD) storage. But it likely has a visible effect in other cases—on a |
|
|
|
1014 cold cache, with a slower spinning hard disk drive (HDD), on a network |
|
|
|
1015 file system (NFS).</p><h1>Enter the per-package loader cache</h1><p>The idea that Ricardo submitted, using a loader cache, makes a lot of |
|
|
|
1016 sense: we know from the start that <code>libpng.so</code> may only be found in |
|
|
|
1017 <code>/gnu/store/…-libpng-1.6.37</code>, no need to look elsewhere. In fact, it’s |
|
|
|
1018 not new: glibc has had such a cache “forever”; it’s the |
|
|
|
1019 <code>/etc/ld.so.cache</code> file you can see on FHS distros and which is |
|
|
|
1020 typically created by running |
|
|
|
1021 <a href="https://linux.die.net/man/8/ldconfig"><code>ldconfig</code></a> when a package has |
|
|
|
1022 been installed. Roughly, the cache maps library <code>SONAME</code>s, such as |
|
|
|
1023 <code>libpng16.so.16</code>, to their file name on disk, say |
|
|
|
1024 <code>/usr/lib/libpng16.so.16</code>.</p><p>The problem is that this cache is inherently system-wide: it assumes |
|
|
|
1025 that there is only <em>one</em> <code>libpng16.so</code> on the system; any binary that |
|
|
|
1026 depends on <code>libpng16.so</code> will load it from its one and only location. |
|
|
|
1027 This models perfectly matches the FHS, but it’s at odds with the |
|
|
|
1028 flexibility offered by Guix, where several variants or versions of the |
|
|
|
1029 library can coexist on the system, used by different applications. |
|
|
|
1030 That’s the reason why Guix and other non-FHS distros such as NixOS or |
|
|
|
1031 GoboLinux typically <a href="https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/base.scm?id=a92dfbce30777de6ca05031e275410cf9f56c84c#n716">turn |
|
|
|
1032 off</a> |
|
|
|
1033 that feature altogether… and pay the cost of those <code>stat</code> storms.</p><p>The insight we gained on that Tuesday evening IRC conversation is that |
|
|
|
1034 we could <em>adapt</em> glibc’s loader cache to our setting: instead of a |
|
|
|
1035 system-wide cache, we’d have a <em>per-application loader cache</em>. As one |
|
|
|
1036 of the last package <a href="https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Build-Phases.html">build |
|
|
|
1037 phases</a>, |
|
|
|
1038 we’d run <code>ldconfig</code> to create <code>etc/ld.so.cache</code> within that package’s |
|
|
|
1039 <code>/gnu/store</code> sub-directory. We then need to modify the loader so it |
|
|
|
1040 would look for <code>${ORIGIN}/../etc/ld.so.cache</code> instead of |
|
|
|
1041 <code>/etc/ld.so.cache</code>, where <code>${ORIGIN}</code> is the location of the ELF file |
|
|
|
1042 being loaded. A discussion of these changes is <a href="https://issues.guix.gnu.org/44899">in the issue |
|
|
|
1043 tracker</a>; you can see <a href="https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/patches/glibc-dl-cache.patch?h=core-updates&amp;id=0236013cd0fc86ff4a042885c735e3f36a7f5c25">the glibc |
|
|
|

|
|
|
1045 and the new <a href="https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/guix/build/gnu-build-system.scm?h=core-updates&amp;id=0236013cd0fc86ff4a042885c735e3f36a7f5c25#n735"><code>make-dynamic-linker-cache</code> build |
|
|
|
1046 phase</a>. |
|
|
|
1047 In short, the <code>make-dynamic-linker-cache</code> phase computes the set of |
|
|
|
1048 direct and indirect dependencies of an ELF file using the |
|
|
|
1049 <a href="https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/guix/build/gremlin.scm?id=0236013cd0fc86ff4a042885c735e3f36a7f5c25#n265"><code>file-needed/recursive</code></a> |
|
|
|
1050 procedure and derives from that the library search path, creates a |
|
|
|
1051 temporary <code>ld.so.conf</code> file containing this search path for use by |
|
|
|
1052 <code>ldconfig</code>, and finally runs <code>ldconfig</code> to actually build the cache.</p><p>How does this play out in practice? Let’s try an <code>emacs</code> build that |
|
|
|
1053 uses this new loader cache:</p><pre><code>$ strace -c /gnu/store/ijgcbf790z4x2mkjx2ha893hhmqrj29j-emacs-27.2/bin/emacs --version |

|
|
|
1072 been divided by 3, and the fraction of erroneous system calls goes from |
|
|
|
1073 67% to 0.2%. Quite a difference! We count on you, dear users, to <a href="https://guix.gnu.org/en/contact">let |
|
|
|
1074 us know</a> how this impacts load time for |
|
|
|
1075 you.</p><h1>Flexibility without <code>stat</code> storms</h1><p>With <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/stow">GNU Stow</a> in the 1990s, and |
|
|
|
1076 then Nix, Guix, and other distros, the benefits of flexible file layouts |
|
|
|
1077 rather than the rigid Unix-inherited FHS have been demonstrated—nowadays |
|
|
|
1078 I see it as an antidote to opaque and bloated application bundles à la |
|
|
|
1079 Docker. Luckily, few of our system tools have FHS assumptions baked in, |
|
|
|
1080 probably in large part thanks to GNU’s insistence on a <a href="https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Directory-Variables.html">rigorous |
|
|
|
1081 installation directory |
|
|
|
1082 categorization</a> |
|
|
|
1083 in the early days rather than hard-coded directory names. The loader |
|
|
|
1084 cache is one of the few exceptions. Adapting it to a non-FHS context is |
|
|
|
1085 fruitful for Guix and for the other distros and packaging tools in a |
|
|
|
1086 similar situation; perhaps it could become an option in glibc proper?</p><p>This is not the end of <code>stat</code> storms, though. Interpreters and language |
|
|
|
1087 run-time systems rely on search paths—<code>GUILE_LOAD_PATH</code> for Guile, |
|
|
|
1088 <code>PYTHONPATH</code> for Python, <code>OCAMLPATH</code> for OCaml, etc.—and are equally |
|
|
|
1089 prone to stormy application startups. Unlike ELF, they do not have a |
|
|
|
1090 mechanism akin to <code>RUNPATH</code>, let alone a run-time search path cache. We |
|
|
|
1091 have yet to find ways to address these.</p><h4>About GNU Guix</h4><p><a href="https://guix.gnu.org">GNU Guix</a> is a transactional package manager and |

1151 ===================== |
|
|
|
1152 <br /> |
|
|
|
1153 </p> |
|
|
|
1154 <p>Major new features: |
|
|
|
1155 <br /> |
|
|
|
1156 </p> |
|
|
|
1157 <ul> |
|
|
|
1158 <li>In order to support smoother in-place-upgrades and to simplify |
|
|
|
1159 </li> |
|
|
|
1160 </ul><p> the implementation of the runtime all functionality formerly |
|
|
|
1161 <br /> |
|
|
|
1162 implemented in the libraries libpthread, libdl, libutil, libanl has |
|
|
|
1163 <br /> |
|
|
|
1164 been integrated into libc. New applications do not need to link with |
|
|
|
1165 <br /> |
|
|
|
1166 -lpthread, -ldl, -lutil, -lanl anymore. For backwards compatibility, |
|
|
|
1167 <br /> |
|
|
|
1168 empty static archives libpthread.a, libdl.a, libutil.a, libanl.a are |
|
|
|
1169 <br /> |
|
|
|
1170 provided, so that the linker options keep working. Applications which |
|
|
|
1171 <br /> |
|
|
|
1172 have been linked against glibc 2.33 or earlier continue to load the |
|
|
|
1173 <br /> |
|
|
|
1174 corresponding shared objects (which are now empty). The integration |
|
|
|
1175 <br /> |
|
|
|
1176 of those libraries into libc means that additional symbols become |
|
|
|
1177 <br /> |
|
|
|
1178 available by default. This can cause applications that contain weak |
|
|
|
1179 <br /> |
|
|
|
1180 references to take unexpected code paths that would only have been |
|
|
|
1181 <br /> |
|
|
|
1182 used in previous glibc versions when e.g. preloading libpthread.so.0, |
|
|
|
1183 <br /> |
|
|
|
1184 potentially exposing application bugs. |

1186 </p> |
|
|
|
1187 <ul> |

1188 <li>When _DYNAMIC_STACK_SIZE_SOURCE or _GNU_SOURCE are defined, |
|
|
|
1189 </li> |
|
|
|
1190 </ul><p> PTHREAD_STACK_MIN is no longer constant and is redefined to |
|
|
|
1191 <br /> |
|
|
|
1192 sysconf(_SC_THREAD_STACK_MIN). This supports dynamic sized register |
|
|

1194 sets for modern architectural features like Arm SVE. |

1196 </p> |
|
|
|
1197 <ul> |
|

1198 <li>Add _SC_MINSIGSTKSZ and _SC_SIGSTKSZ. When _DYNAMIC_STACK_SIZE_SOURCE |
|
|
|
1199 </li> |
|
|
|
1200 </ul><p> or _GNU_SOURCE are defined, MINSIGSTKSZ and SIGSTKSZ are no longer |
|
|
|
1201 <br /> |
|
|
|
1202 constant on Linux. MINSIGSTKSZ is redefined to sysconf(_SC_MINSIGSTKSZ) |
|
|
|
1203 <br /> |
|
|
|
1204 and SIGSTKSZ is redefined to sysconf (_SC_SIGSTKSZ). This supports |
|
|
|
1205 <br /> |
|
|
|
1206 dynamic sized register sets for modern architectural features like |
|
|
|
1207 <br /> |

1208 Arm SVE. |

|
|
|
1210 </p> |
|
|
|
1211 <ul> |
|

1212 <li>The dynamic linker implements the --list-diagnostics option, printing |
|
|
|
1213 </li> |
|
|
|
1214 </ul><p> a dump of information related to IFUNC resolver operation and |
|
|
|
1215 <br /> |
|
|
|
1216 glibc-hwcaps subdirectory selection. |

|
1218 </p> |
|
|
|
1219 <ul> |
|
|
|
1220 <li>On Linux, the function execveat has been added. It operates similar to |
|
|
|
1221 </li> |
|
|
|
1222 </ul><p> execve and it is is already used to implement fexecve without requiring |
|
|
|
1223 <br /> |
|
|
|
1224 /proc to be mounted. However, different than fexecve, if the syscall is not |
|
|
|
1225 <br /> |
|
|
|
1226 supported by the kernel an error is returned instead of trying a fallback. |

1229 <ul> |

1485 symbols are present to support legacy programs but new applications can no |

|
1489 functionality. The malloc debugging DSO libc_malloc_debug.so currently |
|

|
1491 supports hooks and can be preloaded to get this functionality back for older |
|

1493 programs. However this is a transitional measure and may be removed in a |
|
|

1494 <br /> |

1495 future release of the GNU C Library. Users may port away from these hooks by |

2038 * Noteworthy changes in release 3.8 (2021-08-01) [stable]<br /> |
|
|
|
2039 <br /> |
|
|
|
2040 ** Incompatible changes<br /> |
|
|
|
2041 <br /> |
|
|
|
2042 diff no longer treats a closed stdin as representing an absent file<br /> |
|
|
|
2043 in usage like 'diff --new-file - foo &lt;&amp;-'. This feature was rarely<br /> |
|
|
|
2044 if ever used and was not portable to POSIX platforms that reopen<br /> |
|
|
|
2045 stdin on exec, such as SELinux if the process underwent an AT_SECURE<br /> |
|
|
|
2046 transition, or HP-UX even if not setuid.<br /> |
|
|
|
2047 [bug#33965 introduced in 2.8]<br /> |
|
|
|
2048 <br /> |
|
|
|
2049 ** Bug fixes<br /> |
|
|
|
2050 <br /> |
|
|
|
2051 diff and related programs no longer get confused if stdin, stdout,<br /> |
|
|
|
2052 or stderr are closed. Previously, they sometimes opened files into<br /> |
|
|
|
2053 file descriptors 0, 1, or 2 and then mistakenly did I/O with them<br /> |
|
|
|
2054 that was intended for stdin, stdout, or stderr.<br /> |
|
|
|
2055 [bug#33965 present since "the beginning"]<br /> |
|
|
|
2056 <br /> |
|
|
|
2057 cmp, diff and sdiff no longer treat negative command-line<br /> |
|
|
|
2058 option-arguments as if they were large positive numbers.<br /> |
|
|
|
2059 [bug#35256 introduced in 2.8]<br /> |

|
|

2128 <p>Please help spreading GNU Parallel by making a testimonial video like Juan Sierra Pons: <a href="http://www.elsotanillo.net/wp-content/uploads/GnuParallel_JuanSierraPons.mp4">http://www.elsotanillo.net/wp-content/uploads/GnuParallel_JuanSierraPons.mp4</a> |

2129 <br /> |
|

|
2130 </p> |
|
|
|
2131 <p>It does not have to be as detailed as Juan's. It is perfectly fine if you just say your name, and what field you are using GNU Parallel for. |

2179 <h2>About GNU Parallel</h2> |
|
|
|
2180 |
|
|
|
2181 <p>GNU Parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel using one or more computers. A job can be a single command or a small script that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The typical input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a list of URLs, or a list of tables. A job can also be a command that reads from a pipe. GNU Parallel can then split the input and pipe it into commands in parallel. |
|
|
|
2182 <br /> |
|
|
|
2183 </p> |
|
|
|
2184 <p>If you use xargs and tee today you will find GNU Parallel very easy to use as GNU Parallel is written to have the same options as xargs. If you write loops in shell, you will find GNU Parallel may be able to replace most of the loops and make them run faster by running several jobs in parallel. GNU Parallel can even replace nested loops. |
|
|
|
2185 <br /> |
|
|
|
2186 </p> |
|
|
|
2187 <p>GNU Parallel makes sure output from the commands is the same output as you would get had you run the commands sequentially. This makes it possible to use output from GNU Parallel as input for other programs. |
|
|
|
2188 <br /> |
|
|
|
2189 </p> |
|
|
|
2190 <p>For example you can run this to convert all jpeg files into png and gif files and have a progress bar: |
|
|
|
2191 <br /> |
|
|
|
2192 </p> |
|
|
|
2193 <p> parallel --bar convert {1} {1.}.{2} ::: *.jpg ::: png gif |
|
|
|
2194 <br /> |
|
|
|
2195 </p> |
|
|
|
2196 <p>Or you can generate big, medium, and small thumbnails of all jpeg files in sub dirs: |
|
|
|
2197 <br /> |
|
|
|
2198 </p> |
|
|
|
2199 <p> find . -name '*.jpg' | |
|
|
|
2200 <br /> |
|
|
|
2201 parallel convert -geometry {2} {1} {1//}/thumb{2}_{1/} :::: - ::: 50 100 200 |
|

2275 <h2>About GNU SQL</h2> |
|
|
|
2276 |
|
|
|
2277 <p>GNU sql aims to give a simple, unified interface for accessing databases through all the different databases' command line clients. So far the focus has been on giving a common way to specify login information (protocol, username, password, hostname, and port number), size (database and table size), and running queries. |
|
|
|
2278 <br /> |
|
|
|
2279 </p> |
|
|
|
2280 <p>The database is addressed using a DBURL. If commands are left out you will get that database's interactive shell. |

2290 <h2>About GNU Niceload</h2> |
|
|
|
2291 |
|
|
|
2292 <p>GNU niceload slows down a program when the computer load average (or other system activity) is above a certain limit. When the limit is reached the program will be suspended for some time. If the limit is a soft limit the program will be allowed to run for short amounts of time before being suspended again. If the limit is a hard limit the program will only be allowed to run when the system is below the limit.<br /> |

2319 <content:encoded><p class="has-drop-cap">Leonardo da Vinci said “<em>simplicity is the ultimate sophistication</em>“, but it seems like the “modern” computing world never heard that quote, or ignore it. Today, a single application takes hundreds of megabytes, both of disk and RAM space. Slow, buggy, inefficient systems at every level. </p> |

2323 <p>Probably the best example on this cluttering mess comes from the mobile computing. Most phones are bloated with useless software that not only hinders the navigation experience, but pose a threat to your privacy. Yes, all this software is proprietary. Worst of it, you can not even uninstall it.</p> |

2327 <p>Fortunately, there is hope. Let me introduce <strong>SXMO, the Simple X on Mobile </strong>project. As the authors describe it, SXMO is a minimalist environment for Linux smartphones, such as the <strong>PinePhone</strong>. SXMO embraces simplicity, and simplicity is both elegant and efficient. </p> |

2347 <p>SXMO uses a tiling window manager called <strong>dwm</strong> (Dynamic Window Manager), which allocates the different applications in the most efficient way. The dwm project is available as a single binary file, which source is intended not to exceed 2000 lines of code. That is amazing.</p> |
|
|
|
2348 |
|
|
|
2349 |
|
|
|
2350 |
|
|
|
2351 <p>Simplicity is robust, and that again applies to SXMO. All the necessary components expected on a mobile phone (making and receiving calls, browsing the Internet, SMS messaging,..) just work. Moreover, SMXO comes with a scripting system that allow us to write solutions to our needs. For instance, the screenshots you see were taken with a script of 3 lines of code. Just place the little program under your “<em>userscripts</em>” directory, and <em>voilà </em>!, you’re ready to make screenshots from your PinePhone!</p> |

2535 <title>Christopher Allan Webber: Hello, I'm Chris Lemmer-Webber, and I'm nonbinary trans-femme</title> |
|
|

|
2537 <content:encoded><p><img alt="A picture of Chris and Morgan together" src="https://dustycloud.org/gfx/goodies/chris-and-morgan-2021-06-27.jpg" /></p> |
|
|
|
2538 <p>I recently came out as nonbinary trans-femme. |
|
|
|
2539 That's a picture of me on the left, with my spouse Morgan Lemmer-Webber |
|
|
|
2540 on the right.</p> |
|
|
|
2541 <p>In a sense, not much has changed, and so much has changed. |
|
|
|
2542 I've dropped the "-topher" from my name, and given the common tendency |
|
|
|
2543 to apply gender to pronouns in English, please either use nonbinary |
|
|
|
2544 pronouns or feminine pronouns to apply to me. |
|
|
|
2545 Other changes are happening as I wander through this space, from |
|
|
|
2546 appearance to other things. |
|
|
|
2547 (Probably the biggest change is finally achieving something resembling |
|
|
|
2548 self-acceptance, however.)</p> |
|
|
|
2549 <p>If you want to know more, |
|
|
|
2550 <a href="https://fossandcrafts.org/episodes/30-gender-sexuality-personal-perspective.html">Morgan and I did a podcast episode</a> |
|
|
|
2551 which explains more from my present standing, and also explains Morgan's |
|
|
|
2552 experiences with being demisexual, which not many people know about! |
|
|
|
2553 (Morgan has been incredible through this whole process, by the way.)</p> |
|
|
|
2554 <p>But things may change further. |
|
|
|
2555 Maybe a year from now those changes may be even more drastic, or maybe |
|
|
|
2556 not. |
|
|
|
2557 We'll see. |
|
|
|
2558 I am wandering, and I don't know where I will land, but it won't be |
|
|
|
2559 back to where I was.</p> |
|
|
|
2560 <p>At any rate, I've spent much of my life not being able to stand myself |
|
|
|
2561 for how I look and feel. |
|
|
|
2562 For most of my life, I have not been able to look at myself in a mirror |
|
|
|
2563 for more than a second or two due to the revulsion I felt at the person |
|
|
|
2564 I saw staring back at me. |
|
|
|
2565 The last few weeks have been a shift change for me in that regard... |
|
|
|
2566 it's a very new experience to feel so happy with myself.</p> |
|
|
|
2567 <p>I'm only at the beginning of this journey. |
|
|
|
2568 I'd appreciate your support... people have been incredibly kind to me |
|
|
|
2569 by and large so far but like everyone who goes through a process like this, |
|
|
|
2570 it's very hard in those experiences where people aren't. |
|
|
|
2571 Thank you to everyone who has been there for me so far.</p></content:encoded> |

|
2585 <p><strong>MyGNUHealth</strong> 1.0 us out! The GNU Health Libre Personal Health Record is now ready for prime time! |
|
|
|
2586 <br /> |
|
|
|
2587 </p> |
|
|
|
2588 <p>This is great news. Great news because citizens around the world have now access to a Free/Libre application, focused on privacy, that puts them in control of their health. |
|
|
|
2589 <br /> |
|
|
|
2590 </p> |
|
|
|
2591 <p>Health is personal, so is the health data. It’s been years since I got the idea of expanding the GNU Health ecosystem, not only to the health professionals and institutions, but making it personal, accessible to individuals. Now is a reality! |
|
|
|
2592 <br /> |
|
|
|
2593 </p> |
|
|
|
2594 <p>Throughout these years, the mobile health (mHealth) has been governed by private companies that benefit from your health data. Private companies, private insurances, proprietary operating systems, proprietary health applications. Big business, no privacy. |
|
|
|
2595 <br /> |
|
|
|
2596 </p> |
|
|
|
2597 <p>The GNU Health ecosystem exists because of Free software. Thanks to communities such as GNU and KDE, we can have fully operational operating systems, desktop environments, databases and programming languages that allow us to use and write free software. GNU Health is one example. |
|
|
|
2598 <br /> |
|
|
|
2599 </p> |
|
|
|
2600 <p>The Libre Software movement fights for the advancement of our societies, by providing universality in computing. In the case of GNU Health, that freedom and equity in computing is applied into the healthcare and social medicine domains. Health is a non-negotiable human right, so it must be health informatics. |
|
|
|
2601 <br /> |
|
|
|
2602 </p> |
|
|
|
2603 <h3>What is MyGNUHealth?</h3> |
|
|
|
2604 |
|
|
|
2605 <p>MyGNUHealth (MyGH)is a Health Personal Record application focused in <strong>privacy</strong>, that can be used in desktops and mobile devices. |
|
|
|
2606 <br /> |
|
|
|
2607 </p> |
|
|
|
2608 <p>MyGH embraces the main health domains (*bio-psycho-social*). All the components in the GNU Health ecosystem combine social medicine and primary care with the latest on bioinformatics and precision medicine. The complex interactions between these health domains play a key role in the state of health and disease of an individual, family and society. |
|
|
|
2609 <br /> |
|
|
|
2610 </p> |
|
|
|
2611 <p>MyGH has the functionality of a health and activity tracker, and that of a health diary / record. It records and tracks the main anthropometric and physiological measures, such as weight, blood pressure, blood sugar level or oxygen saturation. It keeps track of your lifestyle, nutrition, physical activity, and sleep, with numerous charts to visualize the trends. |
|
|
|
2612 <br /> |
|
|
|
2613 </p> |
|
|
|
2614 <p>MyGNUHealth is also a diary, that records all relevant information from the medical and social domain and their context. In the medical domain, you can record your encounters, immunizations, hospitalizations, lab tests,genetic and family history, among others. In the genetic context, MyGH provides a dataset of over 30000 natural variants / SNP from <strong>UniProt</strong> that are relevant in human. Entering the RefSNP will automatically provide the information about that particular variant and it clinical significance. |
|
|
|
2615 <br /> |
|
|
|
2616 </p> |
|
|
|
2617 <p>The Social domain, contains the key social determinants of health (Social Gradient, Early life development, Stress, Social exclusion, Working conditions, Education, Physical environment, Unemployment, Social Support, Addiction, Food, Transportation, Health services, Family functionality, Family violence, Bullying, War) , most of them from the World Health Organization social determinants of health. |
|
|
|
2618 <br /> |
|
|
|
2619 </p> |
|
|
|
2620 <p>A very important feature of MyGH is that it is GNU Health Federation. That is, if you want to share any of this data with your health professional in real-time, and they will be able to study it. |
|
|

2623 <h3>The PinePhone and the revolution in mobile computing</h3> |
|
|
|
2624 |
|
|
|
2625 <p>Of course, in a world of mobile phones and mobile computing, we need free/libre mobile applications. The problem I was facing until recently, that prevented me from writing MyGNUHealth, was the fact that there was no libre mobile environment. The mobile computing market has been dominated by Google and Apple, which both deliver proprietary operating systems, Android and iOS respectively. |
|
|
|
2626 <br /> |
|
|
|
2627 </p> |
|
|
|
2628 <p>The irruption of the <strong>Pine64</strong> community was the eye-opener and a game changer. A thriving community of talented people, determined to provide freedom in mobile computing. The Pine64 provides, among others, a smartphone (PinePhone), and a smartwatch (PineTime), and I have adopted both. |
|
|
|
2629 <br /> |
|
|
|
2630 </p> |
|
|
|
2631 |
|
|
|
2632 <p>I wrote an article some weeks ago (“Liberating our mobile computing”), where I mentioned why I have changed the Android phone to the PinePhone, and my watch to the PineTime. |
|
|
|
2633 <br /> |
|
|
|
2634 </p> |
|
|
|
2635 <p>Does the PinePhone have the best camera? Can we compare the PinePhone with Apple or Google products? It’s hard to compare a multi-billion dollar corporation with a fresh community oriented project. The business model, the technology components and the ethics behind are very different. |
|
|
|
2636 <br /> |
|
|
|
2637 </p> |
|
|
|
2638 <p>So, why making the move? I made the change because we, as a society, need to embrace a technology that is universal and that respects our freedom and privacy. A technology that if focus on the individual and not the corporation. That moves takes determination and commitment. There is a small price to pay, but freedom and privacy are priceless. |
|
|
|
2639 <br /> |
|
|
|
2640 </p> |
|
|
|
2641 <p>As a physician, I need to provide my patients the resources that use state-of-the-art technology, and, at the same time, guarantee the privacy of their sensitive medical information. Libre software and open standards are key in healthcare. When my patients choose free/libre software, they have full control. They also have the possibility to share it with me or with other health professionals, in real-time and with the highest levels of privacy. |
|
|
|
2642 <br /> |
|
|
|
2643 </p> |
|
|
|
2644 <p>We can only manage sensitive health data with technology that respects our privacy. In other words, we can not put our personal information in the hands of corporate interests. Choosing Libre Software and Hardware means much more than just technology. Libre Software means embracing solidarity and cooperation. It means sharing knowledge, code and time with others. It means embracing open science for the advancement of our societies, specially for those that need it most. |
|
|
|
2645 <br /> |
|
|
|
2646 </p> |
|
|
|
2647 <p>MyGNUHealth will be included by default in many operating systems and distributions, so you don’t have to worry about the technical details. Just use your health companion! If your operating system does not have MyGH in their repositories, please ask them to include it. |

2694 <h2>GNU and Libre Software</h2> |
|
|
|
2695 |
|
|
|
2696 |
|
|
|
2697 |
|
|
|
2698 <p>The GNU Health ecosystem exists because of Free software. Thanks to communities such as GNU, we can have fully operational operating systems, desktop environments, databases and programming languages that allow us to use and write free software. GNU Health is one example.</p> |
|
|
|
2699 |
|
|
|
2700 |
|
|
|
2701 |
|
|
|
2702 <p>The Libre Software movement fights for the advancement of our societies, by providing universality in computing. In the case of GNU Health, that freedom and equity in computing is applied into the healthcare and social medicine domains. Health is a non-negotiable human right, so it must be health informatics.</p> |

2706 <h3>What is MyGNUHealth?</h3> |
|
|
|
2707 |
|
|
|
2708 |
|
|
|
2709 |
|
|
|
2710 <p>MyGNUHealth (MyGH)is a Health Personal Record application focused in privacy, that can be used in desktops and mobile devices.</p> |
|
|
|
2711 |
|
|
|
2712 |
|
|
|
2713 |
|
|
|
2714 <p>MyGH embraces the main health domains (<strong>bio-psycho-social</strong>). All the components in the GNU Health ecosystem combine <strong>social medicine</strong> and primary care with the latest on <strong>bioinformatics</strong> and <strong>precision medicine</strong>. The complex interactions between these health domains play a key role in the state of health and disease of an individual, family and society. </p> |
|
|
|
2715 |
|
|
|
2716 |
|
|
|
2717 |
|
|
|
2718 <p>MyGH has the functionality of a health and activity tracker, and that of a health diary / record. It records and tracks the main anthropometric and physiological measures, such as weight, blood pressure, blood sugar level or oxygen saturation. It keeps track of your lifestyle, nutrition, physical activity, and sleep, with numerous charts to visualize the trends. </p> |
|
|
|
2719 |
|
|
|
2720 |
|
|
|
2721 |
|
|
|
2722 <p>MyGNUHealth is also a diary, that records all relevant information from the medical and social domain and their context. In the medical domain, you can record your encounters, immunizations, hospitalizations, lab tests,genetic and family history, among others. In the <strong>genetic</strong> context, MyGH provides a dataset of over <strong>30000 natural variants / SNP</strong> from <strong>UniProt</strong> that are relevant in human. Entering the RefSNP will automatically provide the information about that particular variant and it clinical significance.</p> |
|
|
|
2723 |
|
|
|
2724 |
|
|
|
2725 |
|
|
|
2726 <p>The <strong>Social</strong> domain, contains the key social determinants of health (Social Gradient, Early life development, Stress, Social exclusion, Working conditions, Education, Physical environment, Unemployment, Social Support, Addiction, Food, Transportation, Health services, Family functionality, Family violence, Bullying, War) , most of them from the World Health Organization social determinants of health. </p> |
|
|
|
2727 |
|
|
|
2728 |
|
|
|
2729 |
|
|
|
2730 <p>A very important feature of MyGH is that it is GNU Health Federation. That is, if you want to share any of this data with your health professional in real-time, and they will be able to study it. </p> |

2762 <h2>The PinePhone and the revolution in mobile computing</h2> |

|
2763 |

|
|
2764 |
|
|
|
2765 |
|
|
|
2766 <p>Of course, in a world of mobile phones and mobile computing, we need free/libre mobile applications. The problem I was facing until recently, that prevented me from writing MyGNUHealth, was the fact that there was no libre mobile environment. The mobile computing market has been dominated by Google and Apple, which both deliver proprietary operating systems, Android and iOS respectively.</p> |
|
|
|
2767 |
|
|
|
2768 |
|
|
|
2769 |
|
|
|
2770 <p>The irruption of the <strong>Pine64</strong> community was the eye-opener and a game changer. A thriving community of talented people, determined to provide freedom in mobile computing. The Pine64 provides, among others, a smartphone (<strong>PinePhone</strong>), and a smartwatch (<strong>PineTime</strong>), and I have adopted both. </p> |

2792 <p>I wrote an article some weeks ago (“<a href="https://meanmicio.org/2021/06/04/liberating-our-mobile-computing/">Liberating our mobile computing”)</a>, where I mentioned why I have changed the Android phone to the PinePhone, and my watch to the PineTime.</p> |
|
|
|
2793 |
|
|
|
2794 |
|
|
|
2795 |
|
|
|
2796 <p>Does the PinePhone have the best camera? Can we compare the PinePhone with Apple or Google products? It’s hard to compare a multi-billion dollar corporation with a fresh, community-oriented project. The business model, the technology components and the ethics behind are very different. </p> |
|
|
|
2797 |
|
|
|
2798 |
|
|
|
2799 |
|
|
|
2800 <p>So, why making the move? I made the change because we, as a society, need to embrace a technology that is universal and that respects our freedom and privacy. A technology that focuses on the individual and not in the corporation. That moves takes determination and commitment. There is a small price to pay, but freedom and privacy are priceless.</p> |

2822 <p>As a physician, I need to provide my patients the resources that use state-of-the-art technology, and, at the same time, guarantee the privacy of their sensitive medical information. Libre software and open standards are key in healthcare. When my patients choose free/libre software, they have full control. They also have the possibility to share it with me or with other health professionals, in real-time and with the highest levels of privacy.</p> |
|
|
|
2823 |
|
|
|
2824 |
|
|
|
2825 |
|
|
|
2826 <p>We can only manage sensitive health data with technology that respects our privacy. In other words, we can not put our personal information in the hands of corporate interests. Choosing Libre Software and Hardware means much more than just technology. Libre Software means embracing solidarity and cooperation. It means sharing knowledge, code and time with others. It means embracing open science for the advancement of our societies, specially for those that need it most.</p> |

2873 <content:encoded><p>This version of TeXmacs consolidates many developments that took place in the last decade. Most importantly, the interface is now based on Qt, which allowed us develop native versions for Linux, MacOS, and Windows. TeXmacs has evolved from a scientific text editor into a scientific office suite, with an integrated presentation mode, technical drawing editor, versioning tools, bibliography tool, etc. The typesetting quality has continued to improve with a better support of microtypography and a large variety of fonts. The converters for LaTeX and Html have also been further perfected and TeXmacs now comes with a native support for Pdf.<br /> |

2944 <h2>About GNU Parallel</h2> |
|
|
|
2945 |
|
|
|
2946 <p>GNU Parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel using one or more computers. A job can be a single command or a small script that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The typical input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a list of URLs, or a list of tables. A job can also be a command that reads from a pipe. GNU Parallel can then split the input and pipe it into commands in parallel. |
|
|
|
2947 <br /> |
|
|
|
2948 </p> |
|
|
|
2949 <p>If you use xargs and tee today you will find GNU Parallel very easy to use as GNU Parallel is written to have the same options as xargs. If you write loops in shell, you will find GNU Parallel may be able to replace most of the loops and make them run faster by running several jobs in parallel. GNU Parallel can even replace nested loops. |
|
|
|
2950 <br /> |
|
|
|
2951 </p> |
|
|
|
2952 <p>GNU Parallel makes sure output from the commands is the same output as you would get had you run the commands sequentially. This makes it possible to use output from GNU Parallel as input for other programs. |
|
|
|
2953 <br /> |
|
|
|
2954 </p> |
|
|
|
2955 <p>For example you can run this to convert all jpeg files into png and gif files and have a progress bar: |
|
|
|
2956 <br /> |
|
|
|
2957 </p> |
|
|
|
2958 <p> parallel --bar convert {1} {1.}.{2} ::: *.jpg ::: png gif |
|
|
|
2959 <br /> |
|
|
|
2960 </p> |
|
|
|
2961 <p>Or you can generate big, medium, and small thumbnails of all jpeg files in sub dirs: |
|
|
|
2962 <br /> |
|
|
|
2963 </p> |
|
|
|
2964 <p> find . -name '*.jpg' | |
|
|
|
2965 <br /> |
|
|
|
2966 parallel convert -geometry {2} {1} {1//}/thumb{2}_{1/} :::: - ::: 50 100 200 |

3040 <h2>About GNU SQL</h2> |
|
|
|
3041 |
|
|
|
3042 <p>GNU sql aims to give a simple, unified interface for accessing databases through all the different databases' command line clients. So far the focus has been on giving a common way to specify login information (protocol, username, password, hostname, and port number), size (database and table size), and running queries. |
|
|
|
3043 <br /> |
|
|
|
3044 </p> |
|
|
|
3045 <p>The database is addressed using a DBURL. If commands are left out you will get that database's interactive shell. |

3055 <h2>About GNU Niceload</h2> |
|
|
|
3056 |
|
|
|
3057 <p>GNU niceload slows down a program when the computer load average (or other system activity) is above a certain limit. When the limit is reached the program will be suspended for some time. If the limit is a soft limit the program will be allowed to run for short amounts of time before being suspended again. If the limit is a hard limit the program will only be allowed to run when the system is below the limit.<br /> |

3073 <link>https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2021/substitutes-now-also-available-from-bordeauxguixgnuorg/</link> |
|
|
|
3074 <content:encoded><p>There have been a number of different project operated sources of |
|
|
|
3075 substitutes, for the last couple of years the default source of |
|
|
|
3076 substitutes has been <a href="https://ci.guix.gnu.org">ci.guix.gnu.org</a> (with a few |
|
|
|
3077 different URLs).</p><p>Now, in addition to <a href="https://ci.guix.gnu.org">ci.guix.gnu.org</a>, |
|
|
|
3078 <a href="https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org">bordeaux.guix.gnu.org</a> is a default substitute |
|
|
|
3079 server.</p><p>Put that way, this development maybe doesn't sound particularly |
|
|
|
3080 interesting. Why is a second substitute server useful? There's some |
|
|
|
3081 thoughts on that exact question in the next section. If you're just |
|
|
|
3082 interested in how to use (or how not to use) substitutes from |
|
|
|
3083 <a href="https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org">bordeaux.guix.gnu.org</a>, then you can just skip |
|
|
|
3084 ahead to the last section.</p><h1>Why a second source of substitutes?</h1><p>This change is an important milestone, following on from the work that |
|
|
|
3085 started on the <a href="https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2021/building-derivations-how-complicated-can-it-be/">Guix Build Coordinator towards the start of |
|
|
|
3086 2020</a>.</p><p>Back in 2020, the substitute availability from |
|
|
|
3087 <a href="https://ci.guix.gnu.org">ci.guix.gnu.org</a> was often an issue. There seemed |
|
|
|
3088 to be a number of contributing factors, including some parts of the |
|
|
|
3089 architecture. Without going too much in to the details of the issues, |
|
|
|
3090 aspects of the design of the Guix Build Coordinator were specifically |
|
|
|
3091 meant to avoid some of these issues.</p><p>While there were some very positive results from testing back in 2020, |
|
|
|
3092 it's taken so long to bring the substitute availability benefits to |
|
|
|
3093 general users of Guix that <a href="https://ci.guix.gnu.org">ci.guix.gnu.org</a> has |
|
|
|
3094 <a href="https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2021/cuirass-10-released/">changed and improved significantly in the meantime</a>. |
|
|
|
3095 This means that any benefits in terms of substitute availability are |
|
|
|
3096 less significant now.</p><p>One clearer benefit of just having two independent sources of |
|
|
|
3097 substitutes is redundancy. While the availability of |
|
|
|
3098 <a href="https://ci.guix.gnu.org">ci.guix.gnu.org</a> has been very high (in my opinion), |
|
|
|
3099 having a second independent substitute server should mean that if |
|
|
|
3100 there's a future issue with users accessing either source of |
|
|
|
3101 substitutes, the disruption should be reduced.</p><p>I'm also excited about the new possibilities offered by having a |
|
|
|
3102 second substitute server, particularly one using the Guix Build |
|
|
|
3103 Coordinator to manage the builds.</p><p>Substitutes for the Hurd is already something that's <a href="https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2021-03/msg00074.html">been |
|
|
|
3104 prototyped</a>, so I'm hopeful that |
|
|
|
3105 <a href="https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org">bordeaux.guix.gnu.org</a> can start using |
|
|
|
3106 <a href="https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2020/childhurds-and-substitutes/">childhurd VMs</a> to build things soon.</p><p>Looking a bit further forward, I think there's some benefits to be had |
|
|
|
3107 in doing further work on how the nar and narinfo files used for |
|
|
|
3108 substitutes are managed. There are some <a href="https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2021-02/msg00104.html">rough plans |
|
|
|
3109 already</a> on how to address the |
|
|
|
3110 retention of nars, and how to look at high performance mirrors.</p><p>Having two substitute servers is one step towards stronger trust |
|
|
|
3111 policies for substitutes (<a href="https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-06/msg00179.html">as discussed on guix-devel</a>, |
|
|
|
3112 where you would only use a substitute if both |
|
|
|
3113 <a href="https://ci.guix.gnu.org">ci.guix.gnu.org</a> and |
|
|
|
3114 <a href="https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org">bordeaux.guix.gnu.org</a> have built it exactly |
|
|
|
3115 the same. This would help protect against the compromise of a single |
|
|
|
3116 substitute server.</p><h1>Using substitutes from bordeaux.guix.gnu.org</h1><p>If you're using Guix System, and haven't altered the default |
|
|
|
3117 substitute configuration, updating guix (via <code>guix pull</code>), |
|
|
|
3118 reconfiguring using the updated guix, and then restarting the |
|
|
|
3119 guix-daemon should enable substitutes from |
|
|
|
3120 <a href="https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org">bordeaux.guix.gnu.org</a>.</p><p>If the ACL is being managed manually, you might need to add the public |
|
|
|
3121 key for <a href="https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org">bordeaux.guix.gnu.org</a> manually as |
|
|
|
3122 well.</p><p>When using Guix on a foreign distribution with the default substitute |
|
|
|
3123 configuration, you'll need to run <code>guix pull</code> as root, then restart |
|
|
|
3124 the guix-daemon. You'll then need to add the public key for |
|
|
|

3147 |
|
|
|
3148 <p>Pre-reading of the memory mapper regions, introduced in version 1.19 can be advantageous only when doing intensive look-ups on a read-only |
|
|
|
3149 <br /> |
|
|
|
3150 database. It degrades performance otherwise, especially if doing multiple inserts. Therefore, this version introduces a new flag |
|
|
|
3151 <br /> |
|
|
|
3152 to gdbm_open: GDBM_PREREAD. When given, it enables pre-reading of memory mapped regions. (<a href="https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/18884">details</a>)<br /> |

|
|
3169 <content:encoded><p>Last week, <a href="https://hpc.guix.info">we at Guix-HPC</a> published <a href="https://hpc.guix.info/events/2021/atelier-reproductibilit%C3%A9-environnements/">videos of |
|
|
|
3170 a workshop on reproducible software |
|
|
|
3171 environments</a> |
|
|
|
3172 we organized on-line. The videos are well worth watching—especially if |
|
|
|
3173 you’re into reproducible research, and especially if you speak French or |
|
|
|
3174 want to practice. This post, though, is more of a meta-post: it’s about |
|
|
|
3175 how we processed these videos. “A workshop on reproducibility <em>ought to |
|
|
|
3176 have</em> a reproducible video pipeline”, we thought. So this is what we |
|
|
|
3177 <a href="https://gitlab.inria.fr/guix-hpc/website/-/blob/master/doc/atelier-reproductibilit%C3%A9/render-videos.scm">did</a>!</p><h1>From BigBlueButton to WebM</h1><p>Over the last year and half, perhaps you had the “opportunity” to |
|
|
|
3178 participate in an on-line conference, or even to organize one. If so, |
|
|
|
3179 chances are that you already know |
|
|
|
3180 <a href="https://bigbluebutton.org/">BigBlueButton</a> (BBB), the free software |
|
|
|
3181 video conferencing suite initially designed for on-line teaching. In a |
|
|
|
3182 nutshell, it allows participants to chat (audio, video, and keyboard), |
|
|
|
3183 and speakers can share their screen or a PDF slide deck. Organizers can |
|
|
|
3184 also record the session.</p><p>BBB then creates a link to recorded sessions with a custom JavaScript |
|
|
|
3185 player that replays everything: typed chat, audio and video (webcams), |
|
|
|
3186 shared screens, and slide decks. This BBB replay a bit too rough though |
|
|
|
3187 and often not the thing you’d like to publish after the conference. |
|
|
|
3188 Instead, you’d rather do a bit of editing: adjusting the start and end |
|
|
|
3189 time of each talk, removing live chat from what’s displayed (which |
|
|
|
3190 allows you to remove info that personally identifies participants, |
|
|
|
3191 too!), and so forth. Turns out this kind of post-processing is a bit of |
|
|
|
3192 work, primarily because BBB does “the right thing” of recording each |
|
|
|
3193 stream separately, in the most appropriate form: webcam and screen |
|
|
|
3194 shares are recorded as separate videos, chat is recorded as text with |
|
|
|
3195 timings, slide decks is recorded as a bunch of PNGs plus timings, and |
|
|
|
3196 then there’s a bunch of XML files with metadata putting it all together.</p><p>Anyway, with a bit of searching, we quickly found the handy |
|
|
|
3197 <a href="https://github.com/plugorgau/bbb-render">bbb-render</a> tool, which can |
|
|
|
3198 first |
|
|
|
3199 <a href="https://github.com/plugorgau/bbb-render/blob/master/download.py">download</a> |
|
|
|
3200 all these files and then |
|
|
|
3201 <a href="https://github.com/plugorgau/bbb-render/blob/master/make-xges.py">assemble</a> |
|
|
|
3202 them using the Python interface to the <a href="https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/gst-editing-services/index.html">GStreamer Editing Services |
|
|
|
3203 (GES)</a>. |
|
|
|
3204 Good thing: we don’t have to figure out all these things; we “just” have |
|
|
|
3205 to run these two scripts in an environment with the right dependencies. |
|
|
|
3206 And guess what: we know of a great tool to control execution |
|
|
|
3207 environments!</p><h1>A “deployment-aware Makefile”</h1><p>So we have a process that takes input files—those PNGs, videos, and XML |
|
|
|
3208 files—and produces output files—WebM video files. As developers we |
|
|
|
3209 immediately recognize a pattern and the timeless tool to deal with it: |
|
|
|
3210 <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/make"><code>make</code></a>. The web already seems to |
|
|
|
3211 contain countless BBB post-processing makefiles (and shell scripts, |
|
|
|
3212 too). We were going to contribute to this while we suddenly realized |
|
|
|
3213 that we know of <em>another</em> great tool to express such processes: Guix! |
|
|
|
3214 Bonus: while a makefile would address just the tip of the |
|
|
|
3215 iceberg—running bbb-render—Guix can also take care of the tedious task |
|
|
|
3216 of deploying the <em>right</em> environment to run bbb-render in.</p><p>What we did was to write some sort of a <em>deployment-aware makefile</em>. |
|
|
|
3217 It’s still a relatively unconventional way to use Guix, but one that’s |
|
|
|
3218 very convenient. We’re talking about videos, but really, you could use |
|
|
|
3219 the same approach for any kind of processing graph where you’d be |
|
|
|
3220 tempted to just use <code>make</code>.</p><p>The end result here is a <a href="https://gitlab.inria.fr/guix-hpc/website/-/blob/6977da4618814c790e767618da5cf9ec2cab0742/doc/atelier-reproductibilit%C3%A9/render-videos.scm">Guix |
|
|
|
3221 file</a> |
|
|
|
3222 that returns a <em>manifest</em>—a list of videos to “build”. You can build |
|
|
|
3223 the videos with:</p><pre><code>guix build -m render-videos.scm</code></pre><p>Overall, the file defines a bunch of functions (<em>procedures</em> in |
|
|
|
3224 traditional Scheme parlance), each of which takes input files and |
|
|
|
3225 produces output files. More accurately, these functions returns objects |
|
|
|
3226 that <em>describe</em> how to build their output from the input files—similar |
|
|
|
3227 to how a <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Rule-Introduction.html">makefile |
|
|
|
3228 rule</a> |
|
|
|
3229 describes how to build its target(s) from its prerequisite(s). (The |
|
|
|
3230 reader familiar with functional programming may recognize a monad here, |
|
|
|
3231 and indeed, those build descriptions can be thought of as monadic values |
|
|
|
3232 in a hypothetical “Guix build” monad; technically though, they’re |
|
|
|
3233 regular Scheme values.)</p><p>Let’s take a guided tour of this 300-line file.</p><h1>Rendering</h1><p>The <a href="https://gitlab.inria.fr/guix-hpc/website/-/blob/6977da4618814c790e767618da5cf9ec2cab0742/doc/atelier-reproductibilit%C3%A9/render-videos.scm#L23-75">first |

|
|
|
3309 raw data, a start and end time, and produces a <code>video.ges</code> file. There |
|
|
|
3310 are three key elements here:</p><ol><li><a href="https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/G_002dExpressions.html#index-computed_002dfile"><code>computed-file</code></a> |
|
|
|
3311 is a function to produce a file, <code>video.ges</code> in this case, by |
|
|
|
3312 running the code you give it as its second argument—the <em>recipe</em>, |
|
|
|
3313 in makefile terms.</li><li>The recipe passed to <code>computed-file</code> is a |
|
|
|
3314 <a href="https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/G_002dExpressions.html"><em>G-expression</em></a> |
|
|
|
3315 (or “gexp”), introduced by this fancy <code>#~</code> (hash tilde) notation. |
|
|
|
3316 G-expressions are a way to <em>stage</em> code, to mark it for eventual |
|
|
|
3317 execution. Indeed, that code will only be executed if and when we |
|
|
|
3318 run <code>guix build</code> (without <code>--dry-run</code>), and only if the result is |
|
|
|
3319 not already in <a href="https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/The-Store.html">the |
|
|
|
3320 store</a>.</li><li>The gexp refers to <code>rendering-profile</code>, to <code>bbb-render</code>, to |
|
|
|
3321 <code>bbb-data</code> and so on by <em>escaping</em> with the <code>#+</code> or <code>#$</code> syntax |
|
|
|
3322 (they’re equivalent, unless doing cross-compilation). During |
|
|
|
3323 build, these reference items in the store, such as |
|
|
|
3324 <code>/gnu/store/…-bbb-render</code>, which is itself the result of “building” |
|
|
|
3325 the origin we’ve seen above. The <code>#$output</code> reference corresponds |
|
|
|
3326 to the build result of this <code>computed-file</code>, the complete file name |
|
|
|
3327 of <code>video.ges</code> under <code>/gnu/store</code>.</li></ol><p>That’s quite a lot already! Of course, this real-world example is |
|
|
|
3328 more intimidating than the toy examples you’d find in the manual, but |
|
|
|
3329 really, pretty much everything’s there. Let’s see in more detail at |
|
|
|
3330 what’s inside this gexp.</p><p>The gexp first imports a bunch of helper modules with <a href="https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Build-Utilities.html">build |
|
|
|
3331 utilities</a> |
|
|
|
3332 and tools to manipulate profiles and search path environment variables. |
|
|
|
3333 The <code>for-each</code> call iterates over search path environment |
|
|
|
3334 variables—<code>PATH</code>, <code>PYTHONPATH</code>, and so on—, setting them so that the |
|
|
|
3335 <code>python</code> command is found and so that the needed Python modules are |
|
|
|
3336 found.</p><p>The <code>with-imported-modules</code> form above indicates that the <code>(guix build utils)</code> and <code>(guix profiles)</code> modules, which are part of Guix, along |
|
|
|
3337 with their dependencies (their <em>closure</em>), need to be imported in the |
|
|
|
3338 build environment. What about <code>with-extensions</code>? Those <code>(guix …)</code> |
|
|
|
3339 module indirectly depend on additional modules, provided by the |
|
|
|
3340 <code>guile-gcrypt</code> package, hence this spec.</p><p>Next comes the |
|
|
|
3341 <a href="https://gitlab.inria.fr/guix-hpc/website/-/blob/6977da4618814c790e767618da5cf9ec2cab0742/doc/atelier-reproductibilit%C3%A9/render-videos.scm#L77-106"><code>ges-&gt;webm</code></a> |
|
|
|
3342 function which, as the name implies, takes a <code>.ges</code> file and produces a |
|
|
|
3343 WebM video file by invoking <code>ges-launch-1.0</code>. The end result is a video |
|
|
|
3344 containing the recording’s audio, the webcam and screen share (or slide |
|
|
|
3345 deck), but not the chat.</p><h1>Opening and closing</h1><p>We have a WebM video, so we’re pretty much done, right? But… we’d also |
|
|
|
3346 like to have an opening, showing the talk title and the speaker’s name, |
|
|
|
3347 as well as a closing. How do we get that done?</p><p>Perhaps a bit of a sledgehammer, but it turns out that we chose to |
|
|
|
3348 produce those still images with LaTeX/Beamer, from |
|

3352 function that takes a template <code>.tex</code> file, a speaker name and |

|
|
|
3416 with videos”, and that’s right! It’s also worth mentioning another |
|
|
|
3417 approach: <a href="https://lang.video/">Racket’s video language</a>, which is |
|
|
|
3418 designed to manipulate video abstractions, similar to GES but with a |
|
|
|
3419 sweet high-level functional interface.</p><p>But look, this one’s different: it’s |
|
|
|
3420 self-contained, it’s reproducible, and it has the right abstraction |
|
|
|
3421 level. Self-contained is a big thing; it means you can run it and it |
|
|
|
3422 knows what software to deploy, what environment variables to set, and so |
|
|
|
3423 on, for each step of the pipeline. Granted, it could be simplified with |
|
|
|
3424 appropriate high-level interfaces in Guix. But remember: the |
|
|
|
3425 alternative is a makefile (“deployment-unaware”) completed by a <code>README</code> |
|
|
|
3426 file giving a vague idea of the dependencies needed. The reproducible |
|
|
|
3427 bit is pretty nice too (especially for a workshop <em>on</em> reproducibility). |
|
|
|
3428 It also means there’s caching: videos or intermediate byproducts already |
|
|
|
3429 in the store don’t need to be recomputed. Last, we have access to a |
|
|
|
3430 general-purpose programming language where we can <em>build abstractions</em>, |
|
|
|
3431 such as the <code>&lt;talk&gt;</code> data type, that makes the whole thing more pleasant |
|
|
|
3432 to work with and more maintainable.</p><p>Hopefully that’ll inspire you to have a reproducible video pipeline for |
|
|
|
3433 your next on-line event, or maybe that’ll inspire you to replace your |
|
|
|
3434 old makefile and shelly habits for data processing!</p><p>High-performance computing (HPC) people might be wondering how to go |
|
|
|
3435 from here and build “computing-resource-aware” or |
|
|
|
3436 “storage-resource-aware” pipelines where each computing step could be |
|
|
|
3437 submitted to the job scheduler of an HPC cluster and use distributed |
|
|
|
3438 file systems for intermediate results rather than <code>/gnu/store</code>. If |
|
|
|
3439 you’re one of these folks, do take a look at how the <a href="https://guixwl.org/">Guix Workflow |
|
|
|
3440 Language</a> addresses these issues.</p><h1>Acknowledgments</h1><p>Thanks to Konrad Hinsen for valuable feedback on an earlier draft.</p><h4>About GNU Guix</h4><p><a href="https://guix.gnu.org">GNU Guix</a> is a transactional package manager and |

3490 <p>It’s a great day for Bangladesh. It’s a great day for public health! Today, <a href="https://www.gnusolidario.org">GNU Solidario</a> and the International Federation of Medical Students Association, <a href="http://ifmsabd.org/">IFMSA Bangladesh</a>, have signed an initial <strong>5-year</strong> partnership on the grounds of the <strong>GNU Health Alliance of Academic and Research Institutions</strong>.</p> |
|
|
|
3491 |
|
|
|
3492 |
|
|
|
3493 |
|
|
|
3494 <p>IFMSA Bangladesh is a non-for-profit, non-political organization that comprises <strong>3500+ medical students from over 65 schools of Medicine across Bangladesh.</strong> They are a solid organization, very well organized, with different standing committees and support divisions. </p> |
|
|
|
3495 |
|
|
|
3496 |
|
|
|
3497 |
|
|
|
3498 <p>IFMSA vision and mission fits very well with those of GNU Solidario advancement of <strong>Social Medicine</strong>. IFMSA has projects on Public Health (reproductive health; personal hygiene; cardiovascular disease and cancer prevention, … ), Human rights and peace (campaigns to end violence against women; protection of the underprivileged elders and children.. ). I am positive the GNU Health ecosystem will help them reach their goals in each of their projects!</p> |

|
|
|
3501 |
|
|
|
3502 <p>The GNU Health Alliance of Academic and Research Institutions is extremely happy to have IFMSA Bangladesh as a member. IFMSA Bangladesh joins now a group of outstanding researchers and institutions that have made phenomenal advancements in health informatics and contributions to public health. Some examples:</p> |

|
3504 |
|
|
|
3505 |
|
|
|
3506 <ul><li>The <strong>National University of Entre RÃos (UNER) </strong>has been awarded the project to use GNU Health as a real-time observatory for the <strong>COVID-19</strong> pandemic, by the Government of Argentina. In the context of the GNU Health Alliance, UNER has also developed the oral health package for GNU Health; and implemented the GNU Health Hospital Management Information System component in many public health care institutions in the country. The team from the UNER has traveled to Cameroon to implement GNU Health HMIS in several health facilities in the country, as well as training their health professionals.</li><li><strong>Thymbra</strong> Healthcare (R&amp;D Labs) has contributed the <strong>medical genetics</strong> and <strong>precision medicine</strong>. Currently, Thymbra is focused on <strong>MyGNUHealth</strong>, the GNU Health Personal Health Record (PHR) for <strong>KDE</strong> plasma mobile and desktops devices, and working on the integration of MyGNUHealth with the <strong>PinePhone</strong>.</li><li><strong>Khadas</strong> has signed an agreement to work on with the GNU Health community in <strong>Artificial Intelligence</strong> and medical imaging, as well on integrating Single Board Computers (SBCs) with GNU Health (the GNU Health in a Box project)</li></ul> |

|
3507 |
|
|
|
3508 |
|
|
|
3509 |
|
|
|
3510 <p>The fact that an association of 3500+ medical students embrace GNU Health means that all these bright future doctors from Bangladesh will also bear the ethics and philosophy of Libre Software to their communities. Public Health can not be run by private corporations, nor by proprietary software.</p> |
|
|
|
3511 |
|
|
|
3512 |
|
|
|
3513 |
|
|
|
3514 <p>IFMSA has 5 years ahead to make a wonderful revolution in the public health care system. Health institutions will be able to implement state-of-the-art health informatics. Medical students can learn GNU Health inside-out, and conduct workshops across the country in the Libre digital health ecosystem. Most importantly, I am positive GNU Health will provide a wonderful opportunity to improve the health promotion and disease prevention campaigns in Bangladesh.</p> |

3518 <p>As the president of GNU Solidario, I am truly honored and looking forward to start collaborating with our colleagues from Bangladesh, and, when the pandemic is over, be able to meet them in person. </p> |

3522 <p>My most sincere appreciation to IFMSA Bangladesh for becoming part of the GNU Health community. To the 3500+ members, a very warm welcome! </p> |

3829 <content:encoded><p>Last week I got the PineTime, a free/libre smartwatch. In the past months, I’ve been working on MyGNUHealth and porting it to the PinePhone.</p> |

|
3830 |
|
|
|
3831 |
|
|
|
3832 |
|
|
|
3833 <p>Why doing so? Because running free/libre operating systems and having control of the applications on your mobile phones and wearables is the right thing to do.</p> |

3841 <p>Yesterday, I told myself: “This is the day to move away from Android and take control over my phone”. And I made the switch. Now I am using a PinePhone on Manjaro running KDE plasma mobile. I have also switched my smartwatch to the PineTime.</p> |
|
|
|
3842 |
|
|
|
3843 |
|
|
|
3844 |
|
|
|
3845 <p>The mobile phone and smartwatch were the last pieces of hardware and software to liberate. All my computing is now libre. No proprietary operating systems, no closed-source applications. Not on my laptop, not in my desktop, not on my phone.</p> |

3849 <h3>Facing and overcoming the social pressure</h3> |
|
|
|
3850 |
|
|
|
3851 |
|
|
|
3852 |
|
|
|
3853 <p>At the moment I ditched Android, I felt an immense sense of relief and happiness. It took me back 30 years ago, early FreeBSD and GNU/Linux times, being in control of every component of my computer.</p> |
|
|
|
3854 |
|
|
|
3855 |
|
|
|
3856 |
|
|
|
3857 <p>We can not put our daily life activities, electronic transactions and data in the hands of the corporations. Android phones shipped today are full of “bloatware” and closed-source applications. We can safely call most of those applications spyware. </p> |
|
|
|
3858 |
|
|
|
3859 |
|
|
|
3860 |
|
|
|
3861 <p>The PinePhone is a libre computer, with a phone. All the applications are Libre Software. I have SSH, most of the cool KDE plasma applications I enjoy in the desktop, I can have them now in my pocket. Again, most importantly, I am free.</p> |
|
|
|
3862 |
|
|
|
3863 |
|
|
|
3864 |
|
|
|
3865 <p>Of course, freedom comes with a price. The price to face social and corporate pressure. For instance, somebody asked me yesterday how to deal with banking without the app. My answer was, I never used an app for banking. Running a proprietary financial application is shooting at the heart of your privacy. If your bank does not let you do your transactions from any standard web browser, then change your bank. Quick digression… the financial system and the big technological corporations are desperately trying to get rid of good all coins and bills. This is yet another attack on our privacy. Nobody needs to know when, where and what I buy. </p> |

3873 <p>Some people might argue that this technology might not be ready for prime time, yet. I would say that I am ok with it, and the more we join, the more feedback we provide, and the better end result we’ll get.</p> |

3877 <p>The Pine64 project is mainly a community-oriented ecosystem. Its hardware, operating system and applications are from the community and for the community. I am developing MyGNUHealth Personal Health Record to be run on KDE Plasma, both for desktop and for the PinePhone and other Libre mobile devices. It is my commitment with freedom, privacy and universal healthcare to deliver health informatics in Libre, privacy focused platforms that anyone can adopt.</p> |

3885 <p>It depends on you to be prisoner of the corporation and massive surveillance systems, or to be in full control of your programming, health information and life. It takes commitment to achieve it… some components might be too bleeding edge or the camera might not have the highest resolutions and you won’t have the Whatsapp “app” (removing that application would actually be a blessing). It’s a very small price to pay for freedom and privacy. It’s a very small price to pay for the advancement of our society.</p> |

3893 <p>It’s been many years since I’ve been in the look out for a truly libre phone. After many projects that succumbed, the PinePhone is the first one that has gained momentum. Please support the PinePhone project. Support KDE plasma mobile. Support Arch, Manjaro, openSUSE, FreeBSD or your favorite Libre operating system. Support those who make Libre convergent applications that can be run on mobile devices, like Kirigami. Support InfiniTime and any free/libre firmware for smartwatches, as well as their companions as Siglo or Amazfish.</p> |

4002 <h2>About GNU Parallel</h2> |
|
|
|
4003 |
|
|
|
4004 <p>GNU Parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel using one or more computers. A job can be a single command or a small script that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The typical input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a list of URLs, or a list of tables. A job can also be a command that reads from a pipe. GNU Parallel can then split the input and pipe it into commands in parallel. |
|
|
|
4005 <br /> |
|
|
|
4006 </p> |
|
|
|
4007 <p>If you use xargs and tee today you will find GNU Parallel very easy to use as GNU Parallel is written to have the same options as xargs. If you write loops in shell, you will find GNU Parallel may be able to replace most of the loops and make them run faster by running several jobs in parallel. GNU Parallel can even replace nested loops. |
|
|
|
4008 <br /> |
|
|
|
4009 </p> |
|
|
|
4010 <p>GNU Parallel makes sure output from the commands is the same output as you would get had you run the commands sequentially. This makes it possible to use output from GNU Parallel as input for other programs. |
|
|
|
4011 <br /> |
|
|
|
4012 </p> |
|
|
|
4013 <p>For example you can run this to convert all jpeg files into png and gif files and have a progress bar: |
|
|
|
4014 <br /> |
|
|
|
4015 </p> |
|
|
|
4016 <p> parallel --bar convert {1} {1.}.{2} ::: *.jpg ::: png gif |
|
|
|
4017 <br /> |
|
|
|
4018 </p> |
|
|
|
4019 <p>Or you can generate big, medium, and small thumbnails of all jpeg files in sub dirs: |
|
|
|
4020 <br /> |
|
|
|
4021 </p> |
|
|
|
4022 <p> find . -name '*.jpg' | |
|
|
|
4023 <br /> |
|
|
|
4024 parallel convert -geometry {2} {1} {1//}/thumb{2}_{1/} :::: - ::: 50 100 200 |
|
|
|
4025 <br /> |

4098 <h2>About GNU SQL</h2> |
|
|
|
4099 |
|
|
|
4100 <p>GNU sql aims to give a simple, unified interface for accessing databases through all the different databases' command line clients. So far the focus has been on giving a common way to specify login information (protocol, username, password, hostname, and port number), size (database and table size), and running queries. |
|
|
|
4101 <br /> |
|
|
|
4102 </p> |
|
|
|
4103 <p>The database is addressed using a DBURL. If commands are left out you will get that database's interactive shell. |

4113 <h2>About GNU Niceload</h2> |
|
|
|
4114 |
|
|
|
4115 <p>GNU niceload slows down a program when the computer load average (or other system activity) is above a certain limit. When the limit is reached the program will be suspended for some time. If the limit is a soft limit the program will be allowed to run for short amounts of time before being suspended again. If the limit is a hard limit the program will only be allowed to run when the system is below the limit.<br /> |
