LXQt 2.2 promises to further improve the Wayland session introduced in the LXQt 2.1 release and flagged as experimental. In LXQt 2.2, the Wayland session will still be experimental, but it will let you set the default compositor and the screen locker by distribution or system-wide.

This blog post will explain everything about the 429 Too Many Requests Error. From how it can occur, the reason for that, and the possible fixes. The “429 too many requests” is an HTTP response. It comes from the server when too many consecutive requests are sent to the server quickly. The server tells you “to stop sending requests” for a while and try again later. In this case, the client exceeded the rate limit set on a server level. The server must have these limits to prevent overload and unnecessary downtime.

Imagine you’re trying to send yourself a letter, but instead of walking to the post office, you drop it into your own mailbox. That’s essentially what a loopback address does in the world of networking.

The loopback address is a type of IP address that allows a computer to send network traffic back to itself. In the IPv4 addressing scheme, this address is commonly 127.0.0.1. In IPv6, it’s ::1. This network traffic never leaves the computer that sent the request, meaning there is no way for outside systems or networks to know that this loopback network activity is happening.

A .htpasswd file typically creates and updates stored usernames and passwords for HTTP users using HTTP authentication. You must create a .htpasswd file to secure the website’s content, whether the primary URL or some subdirectory. Only authorized users will be able to access the website’s source. The username and password in the file are inline, separated by a colon. The username is stored in plain text, and the password is hashed, usually with MD5 encryption.

Linus has released the seventh (and probably last) prepatch for the 6.14 release. "Things continue to look quite calm, and I expect to release the final 6.14 next weekend unless something very surprising happens".

You know how frustrating it can be if you’ve ever encountered the ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED error while browsing. This error typically means that your browser cannot resolve the domain name into an IP address, preventing you from accessing a website. Computers have IP addresses assigned to communicate with other computers on the network. As IP addresses can be challenging to memorize, we often turn to easy-to-remember domain names to reach specific computers on a network. The Domain Name System (DNS) acts as a digital phone book with names correlating to domain names and phone numbers translating to IP addresses. A DNS shows which domain points to which IP address to reach that particular server.

The process is simple. You first create a model or download one. Then you slice the model and save it. And finally you print the file. Linux offers a good range of open source software to help you create models as well as software to edit and slice the 3D model files.

SystemRescue is an Arch-based Linux system on a bootable CD-ROM or USB drive, designed for repairing a system and data after a crash. It also aims to provide an easy way to carry out administration tasks on a computer, such as creating and editing hard disk partitions. It contains many useful system utilities (GNU Parted, PartImage, FSTools) and some basic ones (editors, Midnight Commander, network tools). It aims to be very easy to use. The kernel of the system supports all of today's most important file systems, including ext2, ext3, ext4, ReiserFS, Reiser4FS, btrfs, XFS, JFS, VFAT, NTFS, ISO9660, as well as network file systems, such as Samba and NFS.

Version 2.49.0 of the Git source-code management system has been released. This release comprises 460 non-merge commits since 2.48.0, with contributions from 89 people, including 24 new contributors. There is a long list of improvements and bug fixes; see the highlights blog from GitHub's Taylor Blau for some of the more interesting features.

Organizations relying on open-source software have a wide range of tools, scorecards, and methodologies to try to assess security, legal, and other risks inherent in their so-called supply chain. However, Max Mehl argued recently in a short talk at FOSS Backstage in Berlin (and online) that all of this objective information and data is insufficient to truly understand and address risk. Worse, this information doesn't provide options to improve the situation and encourages a passive mindset. Mehl, who works as part of the CTO group at DB Systel, encouraged better risk assessment using qualitative data and direct participation in open source.

Linux systems provide a variety of system services (such as process management, login, syslog, cron, etc.) and network services (such as remote login, e-mail, printers, web hosting, data storage, file transfer, domain name resolution (using DNS), dynamic IP address assignment (using DHCP), and much more).

Technically, a service is a process or group of processes (commonly known as daemons) running continuously in the background, waiting for requests to come in (especially from clients).

Linux supports different ways to manage (start, stop, restart, enable auto-start at system boot, etc.) services, typically through a process or service manager. Most if not all modern Linux distributions now use the same process manager: systemd.
