BAN NUCLEAR WEAPONS (fusion24)

Es herrscht wieder Krieg in Europa, und die Lager formieren sich neu. Nukleare Drohungen werden ausgesprochen, Milliarden für die Rüstung mobilisiert. Die alten Abrüstungsverträge sind lange gekündigt, und Deutschland weigert sich weiterhin beharrlich, an einem Atomwaffenverbot teilzunehmen. Dabei muss mensch nicht mal pazifistisch sein, um bei Massenvernichtungswaffen die Linie zu ziehen. Leo ist gern gesehener Gast bei uns und nimmt uns mit auf seinen nimmermüden Kampf für eine Welt ohne Atomwaffen. Language: DE Translation: EN Recording: YES Europe is at war again and the camps are reforming. Suddenly we need weapons to defend friends from wars of aggression. Nuclear threats are being made, billions are being earmarked for armament, barely anyone speaks of a ban on nuclear weapons in this country anymore. But you don‘t even have to be a pacifist to draw a line at weapons of mass destruction. This is why we need international law more than ever as a moral compass.

NeuVector Integration into AWS CodePipeline CI/CD workflow (osc24)

NeuVector is a open source container security platform. Key strengths are vulnerability and runtime scanning. I demonstrate in this talk how you ensure that only container images without a detected vulnerability move to the next stage in your Pipeline. How you define the baseline of allowed activities of your application. And how you can block the deployment into production if an unexpected behavior at runtime was detected in your testing stage. I'll use AWS CodePipeline, AWS CodeDeploy and AWS CloudFormation. The procedure is applicable to other toolset and Hybrid environments as well. NeuVector is a open source container security platform.

Why to log centrally? (osc24)

Why is central logging so important? Convenience, availability and security. Convenience, as you have a single place to check instead of many. Availability, as you can check log messages, even if the sending host is unavailable. Security, as logs leave hosts as soon as they are produced, so an attacker has no chance to modify them. Developers, operators, and security have a single view of the whole network and can easily correlate events from multiple hosts. Often, the various tools to analyze log messages provide you with their own agents to forward logs to SIEM or other analytics tools. However, this is inefficient for several reasons. Most importantly, it is a waste of computing resources. You install multiple applications to do the same job: forwarding log messages. And these messages then travel through your network multiple times. So, what you should do instead is build a dedicated log management layer for central log collection. This ensures that log messages are collected only once. Using the OpenTelemetry protocol, logs, traces and metrics can be collected together, simplifying the architecture of collecting data about your infrastructure even further. From this talk, you can learn how to implement central logging using syslog-ng and how OpenTelemetry changes logging. Syslog-ng in openSUSE Tumbleweed already supports the OpenTelemetry protocol.

Solidarische Bündnisse? (fusion24)

Am 9. Oktober jährt sich der antisemitische, rassistische und misogyne Anschlag von Halle (und Wiedersdorf) zum 5. Mal. Jana L. und Kevin Schwarze wurden dabei brutal ermordet. Der Anschlag ist Teil einer langen Geschichte rechten Terrors in Deutschland. Der Prozess gegen den Täter war ein besonderes Beispiel linker Solidarität, geprägt durch das beeindruckende Engagement der Überlebenden und ihrer Unterstützer*innen. Seither ist es in der Linken leiser um den Anschlag geworden. Nach dem 7. Oktober und dem Krieg zwischen Israel und der Hamas stehen viele Bündnisse auf der Kippe. Wie kann linkes, politisches Gedenken aussehen, das die Perspektiven der Überlebenden und Angehörigen der Ermordeten ernst nimmt, einbezieht und den Anschlag nicht in Vergessenheit geraten lässt? Wie kann ein Gedenken in 2024 aussehen, das rassistische und antisemitische Gewalt und Diskriminierung nicht gegeneinander stellt, sondern zusammen erinnert und bekämpft? Language: EN Translation: DE Recording: YES October 9, 2024 marks the 5th anniversary of the anti-Semitic, racist and misogynistic attack in Halle, part of a long history of right-wing terror in Germany. The trial against the perpetrator was an impressive commitment of the survivors and their supporters and a special example of left-wing solidarity. After October 7 and the war between Israel and Hamas, many alliances are on the brink of collapse. What can a commemoration 2024 look like that does not set racist and anti-Semitic violence and discrimination against each other, but remembers and fights them together?

Accelerating IoT with a Cognitive Serverless Framework (osc24)

IoT application developers that need to leverage the emerging cloud-edge continuum are faced with a number of challenges. Many of them derive from the limitations imposed by resource-constrained edge devices, infrastructure heterogeneity, and the need to meet criteria such as performance, resilience, security, data sovereignty, and energy efficiency. To overcome these obstacles, the EU project COGNIT (https://cognit.sovereignedge.eu/) is developing a new distributed Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platform that enables application developers to off-load tasks to a cognitive computing continuum. Through Artificial Intelligence enabled orchestration and automation, this Horizon Europe project will implement a disaggregated architecture that fits the nature of edge environments and abstracts the complexities of the underlying cloud-edge infrastructure. It enables for dynamically managing and adapting resources and workloads in response to incidents, security aspects, and other metrics that are relevant to the evolving needs of the workloads and applications. In this talk we will explore some of the sectors and use cases—including Industry & Manufacturing, Smart Cities, Cybersecurity, Wildfire Detection, Energy—in which the open source technology that we are developing in this project will bring an immediate benefit to IoT/edge application developers and end-users.

Challenges in End-to-End Automation of IT processes (osc24)

In the last years we worked hard at automating (technical) IT processes. In the talk I'll reflect what we did, what went well and what didn't work out. We now see that the next big challenges won't be the technical stuff - that's s "solved problem". We face a couple of challenges: - Reducing manual overhead in planning/preparing - Integration in ITSM processes especially change and incident - Automating manual processes or eliminating them. We'll view at some tools that may help us, but the biggest challenge will be a change in the mindset: How can we reduce work (possibly to zero)?

Uyuni: the open-source configuration and infrastructure management solution for software-defined infrastructure. (osc24)

Uyuni is a configuration and infrastructure management tool that saves time, costs and headaches when managing and updating tens, hundreds or even thousands of machines. With automated patch and package management, it enables the deployment of patches and packages based on software channels and repositories that can be assigned. Uyuni makes it easier to onboard and manage any Linux server connected to the network, from IoT edge devices to Kubernetes environment, no matter where it is located (private or 3rd party data center or in the public cloud). Uyuni is a single tool for automated deployment of hardened OS templates (bare metal/VM/container) to tens of thousands of servers and IoT devices for faster, consistent and repeatable provisioning and configuration without compromising speed or security. The CVE audit feature allows to check the status of public security patches and with OpenSCAP it's also possible to check for specification compliance and apply remediations right from Uyuni.

Y2038: utmp, wtmp and lastlog (osc24)

The year 2038 problem (also known as Y2038) is a time formatting bug on Unix systems with representing times after 03:14:07 UTC on 19 January 2038. This happens with a 32bit time_t, not with a 64bit time_t. The general statement so far has always been that on 64bit systems with a 64bit time_t you are safe with respect to the Y2038 problem. But this isn't correct: on bi-arch systems like x86-64 (so which can execute 64bit and 32bit binaries) glibc defines __WORDSIZE_TIME64_COMPAT32, which leads to the fact, that struct utmp (used for utmp, wtmp and btmp) and struct lastlog uses int32_t instead of time_t. So we have a Y2038 problem, which is not easy fixable, as this would require ABI and on disk format changes. In this talk I will speak about the background, which tools are affected and how we solved that in openSUSE by dropping utmp, wtmp, btmp and lastlog completely and make use of systemd-logind and other tools instead.

Working together in one place with Nextcloud (osc24)

Nextcloud is the most popular self-hosted, open source collaboration platform for a reason. I'll go over some of those reasons, but more importantly, show and tell what Nextcloud can do for you. As home user, small business or big business (but an emphasis on the smaller side of things). Why should you care? A small handful of big tech firms are gathering up the data of nearly everybody on this planet. They use every trick at their disposal, from pricing to gate keeping, to make sure nobody gets in. And with our data comes not only a massive opportunity to squeeze profits out of everybody using digital devices, they also give a variety of 3-letter agencies a treasure trove of data to use for profiling and worse. But the good news is that, while Big Tech prefers everyone thinks otherwise, there is a real alternative to MS 365 and Google Workspace. If you are new to Nextcloud, this will be a great introduction. If you're aware of Nextcloud, I'll show you what it can do. And if you're very familiar with Nextcloud you'll still learn some things you didn't know! Nextcloud is the most popular self-hosted, open source collaboration platform for a reason.

Learning from embedded: less is more (osc24)

Ultimately, packaging is the right way to distribute and run software maintenance. But at the same time, there are very good reasons why in the Embedded world, images are often before package repositories. These reasons evolved over a very long time and did not change since. A number of typical problems, such as software bloat, configuration drift, broken updates etc are unacceptable in embedded systems as they may cause severe errors, ultimately "bricking" devices. Therefore there are specific practices to ensure those typical requirements for the embedded systems, those can be very beneficial also in other niches. If Edge Computing is on very constrained resources, there is actually a way to solve those "regular" problems, having maximum flexible and configurable solution, without _specifically_ developing a different, special distribution. This talk is intended to outline the following questions: - What are those earlier mentioned practices? - What is the benefit applying them and why does it matter? - Why Yocto Project is designed the way it is, and what part can be applied in SUSE world? - What is still missing in the process and what can be done so the result meets the requirements? **Spoiler**: _Keep it as simple as possible, but not simpler!_ :-) .

Creating a Language Server for RPM Spec Files (osc24)

RPM packaging is a foundation of the software delivery mechanism on RPM-based Linux distributions, with RPM spec files acting as blueprints for package builds. Despite their enduring relevance, support for editing RPM spec files has not evolved significantly over time, leaving users with rudimentary tooling. In response to this challenge, we have developed a prototype of a language server tailored specifically for RPM spec files. Based on a language server protocol, the solution offers a unified editing experience across various editors, giving users features like auto-completion, linting, and jump-to-definition. All of this is achieved by centralizing "code smarts" in one place. Join us to learn about the thinking behind the language server and the challenges we faced when implementing this new tool.
