OpenNET writes: “ Red Hat has announced that it has discontinued development of the CentOS 8 distribution in its classic version, which implies providing as close as possible rebuilds of Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases. Instead of classic CentOS, users will be prompted to upgrade to the continuously updated CentOS Stream, which can be seen as an intermediate between RHEL and Fedora, at the beta release level of RHEL. Formation of updates for classic CentOS 8 will be discontinued on December 31, 2021. Maintenance of the CentOS 7 branch will continue unchanged until 2024. ”

Category : Articles / Kernel and Distributions
OpenNET writes: “ Google announced the expansion of the open development model of the Fuchsia operating system. From now on, in addition to Google employees, community representatives will also be able to participate in the development of Fuchsia, changes from which will be accepted into the project. To simplify communication with developers, public mailing lists and a bug tracking system have been introduced. A project management model has been developed that describes decision-making mechanisms. ... Recall that within the framework of the Fuchsia project, Google is developing a universal operating system capable of operating on any type of device, from workstations and smartphones to embedded and consumer technology. Development is carried out taking into account the experience of creating the Android platform and takes into account the shortcomings in the field of scaling and security . "

Google presented a rating of critical open source projects
Category : News / News FOSS Organizations
OpenNET writes: “ Google has proposed a system for ranking open source projects according to their importance to the industry. The rating will help to highlight critical important projects on which a lot depends, and which, first of all, need to provide resources for maintenance, development and security. With the help of this rating, organizations that are ready to provide assistance and support for development will be able to identify projects that deserve priority attention ... Currently, several categories of critical projects are distinguished, divided depending on the programming language used . " So, for example, Git, Linux, postgres, OpenBSD and many others fell into the category of written in C.

End-to-end encrypted IM messenger on your server
Category : Articles / Security
In the RuVDS blog on Habré, the user oldadmin published an article about creating a "safe messenger just for his paranoid party". The author writes: “ There are now many IM messengers with end-to-end encryption, but there are far fewer options that you can quickly deploy on your server. While studying the options, my eyes fell on Delta Chat, which was already mentioned on Habré - a messenger without a centralized server infrastructure, using mail servers to deliver messages, which allows you to deploy it, for example, on your home server and communicate from devices, including not with Internet access ”.
Here are some of the benefits of this solution:
- You manage your information yourself, including encryption keys.
- You don't give your address book to anyone.
- There is no need to use a phone number to register.
- Clients for all popular systems: Windows, Linux, Android, MacOS, iPhone.
