Cara Menjalankan Paket .deb di Linux tanpa Instalasi

Halo Pembaca! Saya adalah pengguna ArchLinux. Namun, seringkali aplikasi yang saya butuhkan hanya tersedia untuk distro Ubuntu, Debian, atau distribusi populer lainnya. Biasanya, aplikasi-aplikasi tersebut hanya tersedia di apt atau hanya dapat diunduh dalam format .deb. ArchLinux tidak mendukung program-program Debian tersebut secara bawaan—dan mungkin itulah sebabnya distro ini tidak terlalu…

When software changes.

Stuff they don't teach you in art school but probably should - how to cope with changes to software you use regularly. Not been posting to much last few days, I've been trying to work out a problem with ffmpeg that I suddenly found when trying to use methods I was using last year , in the meantime I had swapped linux distros from my usual devuan stable ( 4) to an arch based os Eandeavour os, very different distros but both very good. On revisiting techniques I'd used last year I discovered that newer versions of ffmpeg ie 5 and above no longer support basic things id been doing involving passing ffmpeg output to ffplay in a specific way and while i found workarounds in 6 for some of my command line scripts it seriously restricted working with colourspaces like tmv or monob which are the basis for a lot of my scripts, these only work in ffmpeg 4.4.4 or below as far as I've discovered so far so I had to go back to archived versions of Devuan 4 I have squirreled away to make work and then go on to try and find a solution for a more up to date os. I'm still working out kinks but I have solutions but none which so far work with ffmpeg six or on endeavour os ( there has been a newer change to binutils which mean I cant build a static binary for ffmpeg 4 on endeavour but I can build a static binary on the newest stable version of Devuan 5 ( but not Devuan testing - excalibur) once I have the kinks worked out there will be new work.

apparently apple doesn't ship clang with RISC-V support so now i have to compile gcc and binutils from scratch

When Drag Queens Were King

With the conflicts about LGBTQIA+, it is fascinating to look back at the history of gays in American history. Once, not only accepted but widely celebrated, drag was a prominent face in the entertainment industry.

During the Shakespearean period, in the late 16th century and early 17th century, women were not permitted to perform on the stage. Men played the female roles. While this wasn’t exactly “drag”, it’s possible gay men took advantage of the opportunity to express their feminine sides.

Originally, drag was not only applied to men performing while dressed as women but, any performer dressed in costumes other than their own gender. In fact, the first recorded drag contest and “ball” in America took place in 1867! Men and women performed in Harlem, New York. There were drag queens and drag kings. Notable during the 1880’s and 1890’s was William Dorsey Swann. Known as the Queen of Drag, Dorsey was more than just a drag queen. An African American, born into slavery, was known for holding secret drag balls. The “Queen of Drag”, Swann, is believed to be the first person in the United States to lead a gay resistance. He held secret drag balls in Washington, DC. One part of the drag balls included a competition known as a “cakewalk”, originally held on plantations by slaves. Couples would dance in precise steps and formation. It is believed to have been a way to subtly make fun of the formal white dances pre and post emancipation. As dance contests, the winners were awarded with cakes!

The Jazz Age (from 1920 - early 1930’s) in large cities like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco saw the popularity of drag performers rise. Minstrel shows, vaudeville, and burlesque provided drag entertainment. Unlike many drag performers, Jean (Gene) Malin was not trying to impersonate a woman. During Prohibition, the days of the “pansy craze”, Malin was openly gay and proud of it. Described as flamboyant and effeminate, he entertained audiences with a wonderful sense of humor. At six feet tall and two hundred pounds, Malin had a lisp that delighted his fans. He was capable of defending himself when needed. He performed in high end nightclubs and was featured in films and on Broadway.

In 1920 Drag Balls and contests were so popular they were even represented in film. Men were referred to as “pansies” or “sissies” and were often portrayed as clothing designers or tailors, hairdressers, or choreographers and dancers. Flamboyant and effeminate, they added humor to films. Women were portrayed as more masculine and dressed in male fashions.

There were actors and actresses who were known to be homosexual, if not to the general public, usually within their professional circles. In 1930’s, Marlene Dietrich, who made no secret of her bisexuality, had the first passionate same sex kiss in a film. However, that wasn’t the first same sex kiss in film. In 1922, Cecil B. DeMille directed a silent movie l, “Manslaughter”, that included an orgy. Although the first same sex kiss has been attributed to the later film, “Wings” in 1927, it was the earlier silent movie that broke the mold.

Drag has once again become popular in America with shows like RuPaul’s Drag Race. On the other hand, the country is in turmoil. The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual+ (LGBTQIA+) community is already beginning to feel the change in the air, from the White House to every house, apartment, mobile home, hotel, or tent. The president has already signed several executive orders that will negatively impact LGBTQIA+ communities across the country. We can’t allow America to return to days of the Hays Code. We’ve too far to allow it to slip away.

Fedora Linux 40, Linux Çekirdeği 6.8 ile Resmi Olarak Yayınlandı, İşte Yenilikler

Fedora Workstation sürümü için en yeni GNOME 46 masaüstü ortamını ve Fedora KDE Spin için KDE Plasma 6'yı içerir. Fedora Projesi bugün, en yeni GNU/Linux teknolojilerinden bazılarını ve Açık Kaynak yazılımlarını içeren bu popüler dağıtımın en son kararlı sürümü olan Fedora Linux 40'ı piyasaya sürdü. En yeni ve en iyi Linux 6.8 çekirdek serisiyle desteklenen Fedora Linux 40 sürümü, amiral gemisi Fedora Workstation sürümü için GNOME 46 masaüstü ortamıyla ve varsayılan olarak Wayland oturumunu kullanan Fedora KDE Spin için KDE Plazma 6 masaüstü ortamıyla birlikte gelir. X11 oturumu tamamen kaldırıldı. Diğer Fedora Linux 40 özellikleri arasında varsayılan olarak IPv4 adres çakışması tespitinin etkinleştirilmesi, NetworkManager'da Wi-Fi bağlantılarına bireysel kararlı MAC adresleri atamak için varsayılan mod olarak stabil-ssid ve varsayılan sistem hizmetleri için systemd hizmet sağlamlaştırma özelliklerinin etkinleştirilmesi yer alıyor. Fedora Linux 40 ayrıca Delta RPM'lerin düşürülmesi ve DNF / DNF5'in varsayılan yapılandırmasındaki desteğin devre dışı bırakılması gibi bazı ilginç paket yönetimi değişikliklerini de içeriyor. Ayrıca, DNF davranışını artık varsayılan olarak dosya listelerini indirmeyecek şekilde değiştirir. Ancak bu sürüm, uzun zamandır beklenen DNF5 paket yöneticisiyle birlikte gelmiyor. Bu sürüm aynı zamanda PyTorch açık kaynaklı makine öğrenimi çerçevesinin komutla kolayca kurulmasını sağlar sudo dnf install python3-torch özelliği ile geliyor. Ancak mevcut PyTorch sürümü, GPU'lar ve NPU'lar gibi hızlandırıcılar için destek olarak yalnızca CPU desteğini içeriyor. Fedora Projesi lideri Matthew Miller, "Bu aracı Fedora Linux'ta kullanmayı mümkün olduğunca kolaylaştırmak istiyoruz .Şimdilik bu, teknolojiyle oynamak ve muhtemelen bazı hafif çıkarım yükleri için uygun." dedi. Fedora Linux 40, temel olarak GCC (GNU Derleyici Koleksiyonu) 14.0, GNU Binutils 2.41, GNU C Kütüphanesi (Glibc) 2.39, GDB (GNU Hata Ayıklayıcı) 14.1, Golang 1.22, LLVM'den oluşan güncel bir GNU araç zinciriyle birlikte geliyor. 18, Boost 1.83, Ruby 3.3, Podman 5, PostgreSQL 16, PHP 8.3, Kubernetes 1.29 ve IBus 1.5.30. Fedora Linux 40'ta, libuser kitaplığı ve bunun yerine shadow-utils'den gönderilecek olan passwd paketi, OpenSSL 1.1 ve Python 3.7 paketleri ve SASL mekanizması olarak NTLM kimlik doğrulaması gibi bazı özellikler kullanımdan kaldırıldı veya değiştirildi. Bu sürüm, Zlib'i Zlib-ng ile, mininizip'i mininizip-ng ile, wget'i wget2 ile ve iotop'u iotop-c ile değiştirildi. Diğer dikkate değer değişiklikler arasında /var/run selinux-policy girişlerinin /run'a taşınmasının yanı sıra UKI'lerin doğrudan başlatılmasını sağlamak için birleşik çekirdekler için geliştirilmiş destek, AArch64 mimarisi için UKI'lerin etkinleştirilmesi ve yalnızca UEFI bulut görüntüsü varyantının eklenmesi yer alıyor. AMD GPU'lar için Fedora Linux 40, AMD'nin yapay zeka ve HPC iş yükü performansı için optimize edilmiş yazılımının en son sürümü olan AMD ROCm 6.0 ile birlikte geliyor ve bu, en yeni amiral gemisi AMD Instinct MI300A ve MI300X veri merkezi GPU'larına destek sağlıyor. Resmi Fedora Linux Spins'teki dikkate değer değişiklikler arasında, Fedora Cinnamon Spin için en son Cinnamon 6.0 masaüstü ortamı, Edge ve IoT kullanım senaryolarına uygun bir işletim sistemi sağlamak amacıyla Fedora IoT spin için OSTree desteği ve yeni bir dağıtım aracı olan Basitleştirilmiş Provizyon yer alıyor. Üstelik Fedora Silverblue ve Fedora Kinoite sürümleri, önyükleyici güncellemelerini yönetmek için bootupd'yi kullanacak. Bu sürümle birlikte rpm-ostree tabanlı Fedora çeşitleri artık Silverblue, Kinoite, Sway Atomic ve Budgie Atomic'ten oluşan Fedora Atomic Desktops adlı tek bir şemsiye altında sunuluyor . Bir kez daha, yeni Fedora Linux sürümü , Fedora Linux'u kurarken yenilenmiş bir kullanıcı arayüzü ve yeni özellikler vaat eden, uzun zamandır beklenen Anaconda yükleyicisini getiremedi . Bu, bu yılın sonlarına doğru planlanan bir sonraki sürüm olan Fedora Linux 41'e ertelendi. Fedora Linux 40 artık 64 bit (amd64) ve AArch64 (arm64) platformları için resmi web sitesinden indirilebilir . Mevcut Fedora Linux 39 kullanıcıları kurulumlarını DNF system-upgrade kullanarak yükseltebildikleri için bu sürüm elbette yeni kurulumlara yöneliktir . Ayrıca Fedora Linux 40'ın önceden yüklendiği bir dizüstü bilgisayar da satın alabilirsiniz . kaynak:https://9to5linux.com Read the full article

Finally compiling, just finished binutils, that was faster than expected, but I'm also working on a newer computer too

LFS the year later attempt

Im assuming most of yall know that a little over a year ago now I attempted LFS, and failed. After 5 attempts (I think it was 5 idk I'm not checking) I couldn't get anything to boot. After a year of learning I'm going to try this again, with a few changes

During Christmas I got a new computer and I haven't really found anything I want to install on it. I've over done Arch, Debian would be nice and stable but eh idk, I'm not drawn to it. I really considered Nixos, buy that would take a lot of time to get used to and I'm really having issues understanding parts of it 😓

So we're installing LFS and looking at BLFS to set up as my main install let's go

The ARM GCC cross-compiler saga

I love macOS and ever since I switched to it in 2018, it has become my favourite platform of all time. However, the thing is that I develop software for embedded Linux devices pretty often too.

Since the devices themselves usually have a stripped down firmware as well as are generally underpowered, the best way to speed up the development process and to make it easier and more comfortable in general is to use a cross-compiler toolchain. On Linux, it’s pretty easy to build one yourself or use Linaro’s pre-compiled GCC binaries if your target uses an ARM processor. On macOS, however, the building process does have some caveats.

One of the things that make compiling a cross-toolchain on macOS targeting Linux is that macOS by default uses a case-insensitive file system, which makes building glibc for the target almost impossible. This can be easily worked around by creating a read-write DMG image containing a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Case-sensitive) or APFS (Case-sensitive) partition, mounting it and storing the sources and build directories there.

Compiling the Linux kernel from macOS doesn't really work that well. Usually, you can't get past the configuration step successfully - even the install_headers target fails miserably. A workaround for that would be getting existing kernel headers as a package for the target system and unpacking it manually. For example, if your target runs a distro compatible with RHEL/Fedora, then you can get a pre-built kernel-headers package matching the kernel version of your Linux device and unpacking it manually. This will require compiling RPM, though, or installing it through Homebrew (which is faster).

When it comes to anything else, the build process is mostly similar to the one described in many many available guides on the net. But here is a short guided command-line snippet that will get you going with an ARM64 GCC toolchain for Fedora Linux 33 (use this as a reference). Just changing the toolchain target string ($LINUXARMBRAND) to the one matching your target platform should probably be enough in most cases to get a working toolchain for it.
