Submission + - Linux Format Ceases Publication (mastodon.social)

salyavin writes: The final issue of #linuxformat has been released. After 25 years the magazine is going out with a bang. Interviewing the old staff members, and looking back at old Linux distros (Corel Linux, I used that a long time ago. I've been with LXF since 2011 (writing the community page) and freelancing with them since 2013. The Raspberry Pi User section started with the Pi 2, and it carried on til the very end.

Bingo. You donâ(TM)t need a blockchain when there is a centralized authority involved. The entire purpose of a blockchain is to create trust in a decentralized ledger. You can use WORM storage and get centralized immutable storage including better performance and lower costs. This entire project smells like incompetence or worse. Unfortunately, they arenâ(TM)t the only ones trying to push the blockchain magic into government systems. Someone will make a career removing these blockchain systems in the near future.

Youâ(TM)d be shocked how good an iPhone pro max camera is today compared to even a $2k mirror less camera if you do mostly point and shoot photography. Obviously the custom lenses on a mirror less for very specific purposes will out perform but for point and shoot the iPhone is just incredible. Source, I have a Sony Alpha 7 IV and find the iPhone photos better for point and shoot scenarios.

As a computer nerd who lived with a body builder in college let me put this into perspective. 1.) If you eat a lot of food, or if you eat food with a lot of fat in it, then you gain weight. 2.) Losing weight requires a fundamental rethinking of your lifestyle. 3.) If you start doing push-ups, sit-ups and running daily but don't change your lifestyle then you will probably put on additional weight (muscle weighs more than fat). To lose weight you just need a healthy simple plan. Change the types of food you eat and cut calories, then take three days a week to begin working out. I personally lost 55 pounds in 12 months because I was dedicated to the process of getting into shape.

AT&T is upgrading their network and in the wake the older hardware is performing as well? Big deal. This is the same approach Apple has taken with backwards compatibility and its made their operating system state of the art. If only one carrier in this country could achieve 100+mbps connections because they ignored the masses cries for legacy support I would be a happy camper. In fact everyone on /. would be switching to AT&T if they had a budget cellular data 100+mbps plan that worked nearly everywhere in the country.
