La shell Fish (Friendly interactive shell) acaba de publicar su versión 4.0.0 en la que han cambiado el código de C++ a Rust
Me acaban «de chivar» que Fish, la shell que utilizo en mi día a día, acaba de publicar la versión 4.0.0. Así que echo un vistazo a las notas de la publicación.
En esta versión Fish 4.0.0, el código principal de fish ha sido portado de C++ a Rust. Esto significa un gran cambio en las dependencias y en la forma de compilar Fish. Sin embargo, este cambio no debe influir en el producto final que nos llega a los usuarios.
La lista total de cambios, mejoras, correcciones y cosas obsoletas que se eliminan es muy extensa como para reproducirla aquí. Así que os remito a la publicación oficial que puedes leer en este enlace:
Utilizo Fish como Shell, no así como lenguaje de script y me he habituado mucho a sus sugerencias, a cómo recuerda el comando que necesito o lo fácil que es acceder a él.
Agama development goes on at good pace and, approximately one month after our latest blog post, we
have more news for you. Not only a new version of Agama with a completely refreshed user interface
and other significant changes, but also some information about the future.
Let's start with the most obvious change introduced at Agama 12. You may know that the Agama web
interface relies on the Patternfly framework, the same design system
used by Cockpit. In this version of Agama, we migrated to the latest
major version of Patternfly (v6), which brings several improvements and quite noticeable visual
changes. Moreover, we took the opportunity to align with the SUSE branding
guidelines regarding aspects like typography, colors, etc.
More than ever, in this case a picture is worth a thousand words.
But the changes on the user interface go far beyond cosmetic aspects and general usability
improvements. On top of that, some sections went through an overhaul.
In previous Agama releases, the section of the user interface used to configure the storage devices
(partitions, LVM, etc.) was very powerful. It allowed to create complex setups over single or
multiple disks based on partitions and/or LVM volume groups, to use hard disks directly formatted
(without partitions), to reuse existing partitions or volume groups (optionally re-formatting them)
and much more. But it had some problems.
On the one hand, most users failed to discover how to access to all those features. The interface
was not self-explanatory enough. On the other hand, we were struggling to find a way to add more
functionality (especially software RAIDs) in a consistent way. To make things a bit more
problematic, the configuration generated by that user interface was not fully aligned with the
usual mindset of our users currently relying on profile-based configuration (ie. unattended
installation).
Thus, a couple of months ago, we decided to change the approach of that user interface. But it took
us some time to reach a point in which the new interface is functional enough for basic
configurations.
The new section is still far from its final form and also from providing all the possibilities of
the previous interface. So expect significant updates on future releases, like bringing back the
support to define LVM volume groups. Meanwhile, you can read about its existing and future
capabilities at the corresponding section of the Agama user
documentation.
Security is a topic that demands constant re-evaluation. When it comes to a Linux system, one of
the first aspects of security is the way to organize users, privileges and authentication. SUSE
and openSUSE have been reconsidering lately how to approach that and it seems clear that the
traditional role of the root user and the default configuration of sudo are going to change in
future releases of SLE and openSUSE Leap.
Agama 12 already takes the first steps to adapt to the new situation, removing the mandatory step to
set a password for the root user and introducing a new Authentication section instead of the former
Users one.
This is just the first iteration for a part of Agama that will receive several improvements
regarding usability and wording in upcoming releases.
Not all changes at Agama 12 affect the user interface. Unattended installation also received a bunch
of improvements, including the ability to execute scripts right after setting up the storage layout.
As you may know, both AutoYaST and Agama offer the possibility to specify custom scripts that can be
executed at several points of the installation workflow. In previous versions Agama already offered
the so-called pre-installation scripts, post-installation scripts and init scripts. But now Agama 12
offers also post-partitioning scripts that can be used, among many other things, to deploy
configuration files before the packages are installed, modifying with that the behavior of the
scripts included at RPM packages.
And talking about unattended installation, we cannot forget one of the main features of Agama - its
backwards compatibility with AutoYaST. Such a compatibility is not perfect and never will be, due to
the difference in scope between both Agama (focused on installation) and AutoYaST (a more general
configuration tool).
Now when Agama reads an AutoYaST profile it informs the user about the sections that will be
ignored, making a difference between those sections that will be supported soon by Agama and those
that are considered to be out of its scope even for the future.
The report can be disabled by specifying agama.ay_check=0 as a boot parameter.
We also took the opportunity to update the corresponding information at the AutoYaST compatibility
reference document. What is even better, we introduced some
mechanisms to generate such a document based on the same information used by Agama to generate the
compatibility report during execution, so we can make sure the documentation is in sync with the
actual implementation.
Most users will execute Agama using the default installation media for SUSE or openSUSE
distributions, which we unsurprisingly call Agama-live (since it is just a live Linux system
running Agama).
Although the installation media is relatively independent from Agama itself, we take every Agama
release as an opportunity to announce some of the latest improvements. In this occasion that includes
some tweaks to the underlying window manager (IceWM), less aggressive settings for both power
saving and the screensaver and the ability to open a terminal emulator by pressing ctrl+alt+t.
Find the latest version of the openSUSE Agama Live ISO image, including Agama 12, at its usual
location.
This time we will use the release of Agama 12 as an opportunity to announce something else. We
decided to add a Roadmap section to the Agama home page.
They say "plans are useless, but planning is indispensable". That may be the case of the Agama
roadmap. We have a clear goal in the mid term, but we are constantly re-evaluating our priorities
and the next steps to be taken. As such, you can expect that document to be updated often. Do not
carve it into stone!
As you can see in the mentioned roadmap, we plan to release Agama 13 by the end of March. And of
course that will mean another blog post for you to enjoy the YaST Team adventures.
Meanwhile, you can also find us at SUSECON 2025, which will take
place at Orlando (USA). Part of the team will be there to meet our beloved users and conduct a
couple of sessions about Agama.
If you cannot be there in person, you can of course meet us at our usual online channels, like the
Agama project at GitHub and the #yast channel at
Libera.chat.
During CES Nvidia announced a new AI desktop supercomputer: Project DIGITS. Starting at $3000 it puts AI processing capabilities on the desktop what just recently needed multiple servers and a few more zeroes at the end of the price tag.
As an IBM Champion for POWER my first thought was that Project DIGITS is nice, but I’d love to see something based on POWER. Of course it’s just a game of thoughts, as IBM left the workstation business many years ago, both for x86 and POWER. So, even if I had some ideas, I did not care much about them. However, at FOSDEM someone described almost the same dream AI system. It means that I’m not alone, and it’s worth sharing this idea :-) And, of course, even if it is never implemented as a workstation, the technologies are interesting to learn about.
POWER 10 already has some extra instructions related to AI, making it efficient at AI tasks even without using a GPU. You can read more about it in the IBM blog at https://developer.ibm.com/blogs/run-ai-inferencing-on-power10-leveraging-mma/. Power 11 is coming this year, and will be include these instructions while being both faster and more energy efficient.
At IBM it’s not just Power CPUs when it comes to AI. They are also working on a dedicated AI accelerator card, called Spyre. I’m an environmental engineer by degree, so I very much appreciate IBM’s approach here. They focus on energy efficiency. If a single card does not provide you with enough processing capabilities, you can use multiple easy to cool cards, which also helps to reduce hardware failure rates.
After all this introduction I guess you could figure out our idea: a Power 11 + Spyre AI accelerator workstation. Just the smallest Power 11 CPU coupled with a single Spyre AI accelerator card and an entry level graphics card, all nicely packed in a well sealed silent case. The GPU here is just to drive the screen, not for AI. It could lower the entry barrier to AI on Power, and make developers more passionate about their jobs.
Why a workstation, and why do I mention passion? Having a workstation is not a requirement to develop for an architecture. However, I know from talking to people at FOSDEM, many other conferences or on-line, that most developers have more passion working on things on a machine on / under their desk. In the open source world, many important developments are born due to passion, in spare time, even by paid developers. Having a Power workstation with AI also could help in keeping POWER relevant in the open source world.

Nueva entrada de la serie de grandes juegos libres. Hoy vuelve un género que realmente me encanta, el FPS, y lo hace a raiz de un comentario dejado en el blog. Se trata deWarsow, un frenético shooter en primera persona que destaca por su velocidad, personalización y orientación hacia los e-sports.
Warsow, frenéticos disparos en primer persona – Juegos Linux (XVII)
Esta entrada es similar a la de Alien Arena u OpenArena, y es que volvemos a hablar de la compañía de videojuegos ID Software que siempre ha tenido un especial cariño por liberar su código para que el desarrollo de sus juegos tuvieran gran apoyo de la Comunidad. Creo que esta es la razón por la que los juegos de disparos en primera persona, conocidos como First Person Shooter (FPS para abreviar), es bastante popular en el mundo del Software Libre.
Como es de esperar, hay mucho juegos de este tipo para Linux, y uno de los destacados es Warsow, que en palabras de sus desarrolladores:
Warsow se basa en la velocidad y el movimiento.
Como un auténtico ciberatleta, salta, corre, esquiva y salta por las paredes a lo largo del juego. Consigue potenciadores antes que tu enemigo, coloca una bomba antes de que te vean y roba la bandera del enemigo antes de que se entere.
Nuestro objetivo es ofrecer un juego de disparos en primera persona competitivo, rápido y divertido, sin violencia gráfica: Warsow no tiene sangre ni vísceras volando por ahí. Círculos rojos en lugar de sangre indican los golpes y triángulos de colores sustituyen a las vísceras como efectos gib.
Ponemos un gran énfasis en la personalización extrema y en las características e-sports.
Debo confesar que no hasido fácil encontrar información sobre este juego, así que he tirado mano de IA:
Estilo de juego: Warsow se centra en el juego competitivo y rápido, con un enfoque en la velocidad y la agilidad. Los jugadores pueden realizar movimientos acrobáticos como saltos dobles y deslizamientos.
Gráficos y sonido: Aunque no es tan exigente en términos de gráficos como otros juegos modernos, Warsow ofrece un estilo visual distintivo y minimalista. El sonido también es funcional y adecuado para el tipo de juego.
Comunidad activa: A pesar de no ser tan popular como otros FPS, Warsow tiene una comunidad dedicada que organiza torneos y eventos.
Plataformas: Está disponible para Windows, macOS y Linux, lo que lo hace accesible a una amplia gama de usuarios.
Modos de juego: Incluye varios modos de juego, como deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag, entre otros.
Personalización: Los jugadores pueden personalizar su experiencia con skins y otros elementos visuales.
Desarrollo comunitario: El juego se beneficia de contribuciones de la comunidad, lo que permite la creación de nuevos mapas, modos de juego y mejoras continuas.
Accesibilidad: Al ser gratuito y de código abierto, Warsow es una buena opción para aquellos que buscan un juego de disparos en primera persona sin costo y con una comunidad activa.
¿Cómo conseguir Warsow?
Como es lógico, Warsow es 100% gratuito y, como es habitual, estos juegos libres los podemos encontrar en casi todos los sistemas operativos disponibles. No hay más que visitar la página oficial para ver que hay versión para GNU/Linux ,Windows, MacOS o conseguir el código fuente. También lo podemos encontrar en Flathub.
¿Puedo participar en su desarrollo?
Lo cierto es que a este proyecto, que parece vivo le falta algo de transparencia para poder ayudar en su desarrollo. Buscando solo encuentro, además de la we y el canal de Github, dos forma de unirse a la Comunidad: Discord y Reddit.
Así que si tenéis ganas de participar en su desarrolllo os aconsejo que os paséis por estos espacios.
One Identity Active Roles allows you to easily and securely manage Active Directory (AD), Entra ID and M365 Identity objects. While Active Roles stores its log messages into Windows Event Log, most log management and log analytics applications expect to receive log messages over the syslog protocol. This is where syslog-ng Premium Edition (PE) can help you. The syslog-ng Windows Agent can collect and forward Active Roles log messages from Windows Event Log, while the syslog-ng server can collect, process, store and forward Active Roles log messages to multiple destinations.
Installing syslog-ng PE together with Active Roles has many advantages, one of which is central log collection. This means that you do not have to log in to individual hosts to check logs, but instead can view logs from every host in a single location. This also enhances security, as logs are available even when they disappear from the original location due to a hardware failure or security incident.
From this blog, you can learn how to configure the syslog-ng Windows Agent to collect and forward Active Roles log messages from Windows Event Log, and how to parse and store the incoming log messages on the syslog-ng server side.
Me alegra compartir con todos vosotros la segunda actualización de Plasma 6.3, iniciando así una serie de revisión de software que le dotará de más estabilidad, mejores traducción y resolución de errores. Estas actualizaciones son 100% recomendables y casi obligatorias para cualquier usuario ya que lo único que hacen es mejorar la versión sin comprometer sus funcionalidades.
Segunda actualización de Plasma 6.3
No existe Software creado por la humanidad que no contenga errores. Es un hecho incontestable y cuya única solución son las actualizaciones. Es por ello que en el ciclo de desarrollo del software creado por la Comunidad KDE se incluye siempre las fechas de las mismas siguiendo una especie de serie de Fibonacci.
La Comunidad KDE ha publicado la primera actualización de Plasma 6.3, una versión que viene a subsanar los errores más graves de esta nueva versión del escritorio

Ha pasado más de una semana desde el lanzamiento de Plasma 6.3 y ya estoy mostrando lo que ofrece para seguir siendo considerado el escritorio más vanguardista. En esta ocasión sigo la serie con las novedades en la usabilidad de Plasma 6.3, esas mejoras para que sea más eficiente utilizar este entorno de trabajo.
Novedades en la usabilidad de Plasma 6.3
El pasado 4 de febrero fue lanzado Plasma 6.3, una actualización mayor del entorno de trabajo más moderno, funcional y llenos de posibilidades que te puedes instalar en tu PC, y a un precio ridículo: 0 €. Solo requiere que inviertas tiempo para aprender a hacerlo.
Esta versión consolida su gran paso de tecnologías QT5/KF5 a QT6/KF6 en tiempo récord, abriendo un abanico de posibilidades nunca antes vistas, como se puede ver en las novedades en la usabilidad de Plasma 6.3, esas mejoras para que sea más eficiente utilizar este entorno de trabajo.
En palabras de sus desarrolladores:
Plasma 6.3 simplifica las cosas sin sacrificar la flexibilidad. Si prefiere usar el ratón en su equipo portátil, ahora puede configurar el panel táctil integrado para que se desconecte automáticamente, de modo que no interfiera al escribir. Además, si configura su máquina como punto de acceso a la red, Plasma genera una contraseña aleatoria para la red, de modo que no tenga que pensar en una.
Encontrar ayuda es más fácil en Plasma 6.3. Se ha añadido la categoría Ayuda al lanzador (el menú que suele residir en la parte izquierda del panel), mientras que se ha eliminado por completo la categoría Preferencias. Su contenido se ha movido a la categoría Sistema, reduciendo el número de categorías que no ofrecen una agrupación significativa.
Hablando de menús, el menú de inicio predeterminado, Kickoff, cambia ahora de categoría solo cuando se pulsa sobre una de ellas, lo que coincide con el comportamiento del resto de listas de la barra lateral. No obstante, si prefiere el antiguo comportamiento de cambio al pasar el ratón sobre ellas, también sigue estando disponible.
Hemos hecho las cosas más claras añadiendo un elemento Mostrar destino al menú de contexto del escritorio para los enlaces simbólicos, el widget del Reloj digital muestra todos los eventos en los días que contienen más de cinco (proporcionándole una vista completa de los próximos compromisos) y cuando quiera entrar en el menú del cargador de arranque la próxima vez que reinicie el equipo, la pantalla de cierre de sesión lo indicará ahora.
Para que no se abrume con demasiada información, cuando lleguen notificaciones mientras esté activado el modo «No molestar» de Plasma, al salir de dicho modo se mostrará el número de notificaciones perdidas en lugar de mostrarlas todas en cascada.
Además, un cambio sutil pero importante: cuando arrastre un archivo fuera de una ventana que esté parcialmente debajo de otras ventanas, ya no salta a la parte superior, puesto que podría ocultar el lugar al que se quiere arrastrar.
