How to package your Python code

You've spent weeks perfecting your code. You've tested it and sent it to some close developer friends for quality assurance. You've posted all the source code on your personal Git server, and you've received helpful bug reports from a few brave early adopters.

New Raspberry Pi OS Includes Hidden Speed Boost and 64-Bit Option

The latest Raspberry Pi OS has today been announced, and it sees a number of changes under-the-hood, and a few that will be noticeable by end users. Chiefly, a new window manager, "mutter" which requires Raspberry Pi models with 2GB of RAM of greater.

How the Kubernetes ReplicationController works

Have you ever wondered what is responsible for supervising and managing just the exact number of pods running inside the Kubernetes cluster? Kubernetes can do this in multiple ways, but one common approach is using ReplicationController (rc). A ReplicationController is responsible for managing the pod lifecycle and ensuring that the specified number of pods required are running at any given time. On the other hand, it is not responsible for the advanced cluster capabilities like performing auto-scaling, readiness and liveliness probes, and other advanced replication capabilities.

As of today, Firefox desktop is the first major browser to become available in the Windows Store for Windows 10 and Windows 11 users.

Going Ubuntu on an M1 Mac with Multipass: Thanks VM, it's Linux on the desktop

An Apple Silicon version of Canonical's Multipass has arrived, adding another way of firing up Linux on an M1-powered Mac. Although getting a full desktop on an M1 Mac is tricky at present (although not too far off) firing up a virtual machine on the platform allows developers to code against the operating system from the comfort of their new gizmos.

Last of original SCO v IBM Linux lawsuit settled

While at the Linux Foundation Members Summit in Napa, California, I was bemused to find that an open-source savvy intellectual property attorney had never heard of SCO vs. IBM. You know, the lawsuit that at one time threatened to end Linux in the cradle? Well, at least some people thought so anyway. More fool they. But now, after SCO went bankrupt; court after court dismissing SCO's crazy copyright claims; and closing in on 20-years into the saga, the U.S. District Court of Utah has finally put a period to the SCO vs. IBM lawsuit.

Awkward. At Chrome summit, developer asks: Why should anyone trust Google?

Google held an online Chrome Dev Summit last week, including an "Ask me anything" session in which the company was posed some awkward questions concerning its browser standards strategy. "It's difficult for developers to meet growing expectations for privacy," said Barb Smith, global lead for Chrome and web platform partnerships, "when so many capabilities rely on third-party cookies and other cross-site tracking mechanisms that weren't designed with privacy in mind."

Live Debugging Techniques for the Linux Kernel, Part 2 of 3

In the first part of this three part blog series, I explained how to set up an Oracle Linux virtual machine where you can experiment with the debugging techniques that will be discussed in the blog series. This post will cover "basic" debugging techniques which utilize gdb, and the final post will discuss some more advanced techniques which use tools specifically designed for kernel debugging.

Live Debugging Techniques for the Linux Kernel, Part 1 of 3

When investigating Linux kernel bugs, or developing new kernel features, it is often incredibly valuable to be able to examine the state of the system as it is running, rather than to use log messages and other bits of information gathered "after the fact." In this three-part series of blog posts, I will attempt to detail many of the various methods that I have used to debug running kernels.

Toolbx, a developers new best friend!

Toolbx (formerly known as Toolbox) is our tool to allow you to use containers as a tool to make development simpler and better. It allows you to put each project you work on into a separate container and have a different set of tools and libraries installed for it. It even allows you to work on a different operating system, like RHEL, on top of Fedora. To learn a little about both the history and the future for this project we will interview Debarshi Ray who created Toolbx.
