Right, as of a about a month ago, I think I can finally say that I've switched permanently to #Wayland from #X11. I've tinkered with Wayland for several years but always came back to #X since there were too many glitches, or things in development, which made for a shaky experience when compared to the #XDesktop. Although there are still some minor things, like, say #Birdtray for #Thunderbired not quite working as it should, everything else is at least as good now for the stuff I do.
Do you need a thread-safe atomic counter in Python? Use itertools.count():
>>> **from itertools import count**
>>> **counter = count()**
>>> **next (counter)**
0
>>> **next (counter)**
1
>>> **next (counter)**
2
I found this in the decorator package, labelled "Atomic get-and-increment provided by the GIL". So simple! So cool!

Renovar el equipo con cada nueva versión
De cuelgues sin motivo y actualización eterna
Del uso de antivirus que no son solución de nada
De usar licencias piratas (por costos)
Entonces es momento que aprendas a usar un sistema libre.

Libtoolers!
The Libtool Team is pleased to announce the release of libtool 2.5.1, a beta release.
GNU Libtool hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind a
consistent, portable interface. GNU Libtool ships with GNU libltdl, which
hides the complexity of loading dynamic runtime libraries (modules)
behind a consistent, portable interface.
There have been 33 commits by 8 people in the 10 weeks since 2.5.0.
See the NEWS below for a brief summary.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed!

For a summary of changes and contributors, see:
https://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=libtool.git;a=shortlog;h=v2.5.1
or run this command from a git-cloned libtool directory:
git shortlog v2.5.0..v2.5.1

Here are the SHA1 and SHA256 checksums:

Verify the base64 SHA256 checksum with cksum -a sha256 --check
from coreutils-9.2 or OpenBSD's cksum since 2007.
Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:
gpg --verify libtool-2.5.1.tar.gz.sig
The signature should match the fingerprint of the following key:
pub rsa4096 2021-09-23 [SC]
FA26 CA78 4BE1 8892 7F22 B99F 6570 EA01 146F 7354
uid Ileana Dumitrescu ileanadumi95@protonmail.com
uid Ileana Dumitrescu ileanadumitrescu95@gmail.com
If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
or that public key has expired, try the following commands to retrieve
or refresh it, and then rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.
gpg --locate-external-key ileanadumi95@protonmail.com
gpg --recv-keys 6570EA01146F7354
wget -q -O- 'https://savannah.gnu.org/project/release-gpgkeys.php?group=libtool&download=1' | gpg --import -
As a last resort to find the key, you can try the official GNU
keyring:
wget -q https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-keyring.gpg
gpg --keyring gnu-keyring.gpg --verify libtool-2.5.1.tar.gz.sig
This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
Autoconf 2.72e

Enjoy!
I recently bought a #Wacom #DrawingTablet for my #Laptop. As with other #Hardware or #Peripherals that has been around for a while, there is no need to download and #drivers for it under #GNU #Linux as it's detected automatically and everything just works without any fuss. #Programs such as #Xournal++ detect variations in #PenPressure and draws lines of varying thickness depending upon it. It's taking practice but the results are quite precise in terms of position too. This will make both note taking and calculations during seminars much better.
The GNU C Library version 2.40 is now available.
The GNU C Library is used as the C library in the GNU system and
in GNU/Linux systems, as well as many other systems that use Linux
as the kernel.
The GNU C Library is primarily designed to be a portable
and high performance C library. It follows all relevant
standards including ISO C11 and POSIX.1-2017. It is also
internationalized and has one of the most complete
internationalization interfaces known.
The GNU C Library webpage is at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/
Packages for the 2.40 release may be downloaded from:
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libc/
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libc/
The mirror list is at http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html
Distributions are encouraged to track the release/* branches
corresponding to the releases they are using. The release
branches will be updated with conservative bug fixes and new
features while retaining backwards compatibility.
Major new features:
GCC 14.1 or later to use __builtin_stdc_bit_ceil etc. built-in functions
in order to support unsigned __int128 and/or unsigned _BitInt(N) operands
with arbitrary precisions when supported by the target.
enable features from the ISO C23 standard. Only some features from
this standard are supported by the GNU C Library. The older name
_ISOC2X_SOURCE is still supported. Features from C23 are also enabled
by _GNU_SOURCE, or by compiling with the GCC options -std=c23,
-std=gnu23, -std=c2x or -std=gnu2x.

functions for float, double, long double, _FloatN and _FloatNx, and a
type-generic macro in .
- Exponential functions: exp2m1, exp10m1.
- Logarithmic functions: log2p1, log10p1, logp1.

We are happy to announce the completion of milestone 5 for the DHT specification. The general objective is to provide a detailed and comprehensive guide for implementors of the GNUnet DHT "R 5 N". As part of this milestone, the specification was updated and interoperability testing conducted. We submitted the draft to the Independent Stream Editor (ISE) who is going to decide if it will be adopted and shepherded through the RFC process.
The current protocol is implemented as part of GNUnet and gnunet-go as announced on the mailing list when the previous implementation milestones were finished .
*We again invite any interested party to read the document and provide critical review and feedback. This greatly helps us to improve the protocol and help future implementations. Contact us at the gnunet-developers mailing list * .
This work is generously funded by NLnet as part of their NGI Assure fund .
GNU Parallel 20240722 ('Assange') has been released. It is available for download at: lbry://@GnuParallel:4

News about GNU Parallel:
GNU Parallel - For people who live life in the parallel lane.
If you like GNU Parallel record a video testimonial: Say who you are, what you use GNU Parallel for, how it helps you, and what you like most about it. Include a command that uses GNU Parallel if you feel like it.
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.
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.
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.
For example you can run this to convert all jpeg files into png and gif files and have a progress bar:
parallel --bar convert {1} {1.}.{2} ::: *.jpg ::: png gif
Or you can generate big, medium, and small thumbnails of all jpeg files in sub dirs:
find . -name '*.jpg' |
parallel convert -geometry {2} {1} {1//}/thumb{2}_{1/} :::: - ::: 50 100 200
You can find more about GNU Parallel at: http://www.gnu.org/s/parallel/
You can install GNU Parallel in just 10 seconds with:

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.
The database is addressed using a DBURL. If commands are left out you will get that database's interactive shell.

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.
The GNUnet project was granted NGI funding via NLnet . Other FOSS related projects also benefit from NGI funding. This funding is now at risk for future projects.

Since 2020, Next Generation Internet ( NGI ) programmes, part of European Commission’s Horizon programme, fund free software in Europe using a cascade funding mechanism (see for example NLnet’s calls ). This year, according to the Horizon Europe working draft detailing funding programmes for 2025, we notice that Next Generation Internet is not mentioned any more as part of Cluster 4.
NGI programmes have shown their strength and importance to supporting the European software infrastructure, as a generic funding instrument to fund digital commons and ensure their long-term sustainability. We find this transformation incomprehensible, moreover when NGI has proven efficient and economical to support free software as a whole, from the smallest to the most established initiatives. This ecosystem diversity backs the strength of European technological innovation, and maintaining the NGI initiative to provide structural support to software projects at the heart of worldwide innovation is key to enforce the sovereignty of a European infrastructure. Contrary to common perception, technical innovations often originate from European rather than North American programming communities, and are mostly initiated by small-scaled organizations.
Previous Cluster 4 allocated 27 million euros to:
In the name of these challenges, more than 500 projects received NGI funding in the first 5 years, backed by 18 organisations managing these European funding consortia.
NGI contributes to a vast ecosystem, as most of its budget is allocated to fund third parties by the means of open calls, to structure commons that cover the whole Internet scope - from hardware to application, operating systems, digital identities or data traffic supervision. This third-party funding is not renewed in the current program, leaving many projects short on resources for research and innovation in Europe.
Moreover, NGI allows exchanges and collaborations across all the Euro zone countries as well as “widening countries” 1 , currently both a success and an ongoing progress, likewise the Erasmus programme before us. NGI also contributes to opening and supporting longer relationships than strict project funding does. It encourages implementing projects funded as pilots, backing collaboration, identification and reuse of common elements across projects, interoperability in identification systems and beyond, and setting up development models that mix diverse scales and types of European funding schemes.
While the USA, China or Russia deploy huge public and private resources to develop software and infrastructure that massively capture private consumer data, the EU can’t afford this renunciation. Free and open source software, as supported by NGI since 2020, is by design the opposite of potential vectors for foreign interference. It lets us keep our data local and favors a community-wide economy and know-how, while allowing an international collaboration. This is all the more essential in the current geopolitical context: the challenge of technological sovereignty is central, and free software allows addressing it while acting for peace and sovereignty in the digital world as a whole.
