Today Friday 30 2020 October, just one day from the end of this month, which has brought us as usual in the Blog DesdeLinux many news, tutorials, manuals, guides from the field of Free Software, Open Source and GNU / Linux, we will do a little review today with some outstanding posts.
This Monthly summary, as many of you already know, its purpose is to provide useful little grain of sand for all our readers, especially for those who did not manage to see, read and share them in a timely manner.
Therefore, we hope that this series of articles, on the good, the bad and the interesting, inside and outside the blog DesdeLinux is very useful, for those who want to keep up to date on our publications, and the topics related to the Informatics and Computing, and the Technological News, since, sometimes many do not usually have the daily time to see and read all the current month's news that ends.
October 2020 Summary
Within DesdeLinux
The good
- Mozilla has released a new version of Thunderbird, the famous mail client that has reached your version 78.3.1. As we well know, Thunderbird is one of the best email clients, as well as being free and improving with each new release.
- The launch of the new version of the platform has just been presented Nextcloud Hub 20, version in which integration improvements with various platforms (Slack, MS Online Office Server, SharePoint, MS Teams, Jira, among others) are presented, in addition to some optimization improvements and more.
- Now, we have an interesting and particular new Linuxero event online called 24H24L, whose primary purpose is to inform and promote, in a sincere and entertaining way, about the performance of GNU / Linux in various fields.
The bad
- EnterpriseDB, a Massachusetts-based private company providing free and open source PostgreSQL database-based software and services, acquired 2ndQuadrant, a global Postgres tools and solutions company. Could this increase the risk to the community PostgreSQL?
- The engineers of Google made known through a publication that they have identified a severe vulnerability (CVE-2020-12351) in the pile of Bluetooth “BlueZ” which is used in Linux and Chrome OS distributions.
- The OpenPrinting project (supported by Linux Foundation), announced that its developers have started with a fork of the CUPS printing system, where the most active part in development is by Michael R Sweet, the original author of CUPS.
The interesting
- NoGAFAM is a site that not only promotes Free Software, but also encourages others to become aware of the value of the data generated on the Internet, and the risk they run when using platforms, applications and services of many global Technology Giants, many of which are known as GAFAM.
- wallabag is an application that we can install on a own or someone else's server, and that offers us a service similar to the aforementioned applications, in such a way that allows its administrator to manage the capture of the texts of the desired web pages, for later reading, in a personalized and refined way.
- When it comes to websites to read and know the news of certain Software (Operating Systems, Applications and Platforms) nothing better than Blogs, and when it comes to Free Software, Open Source and GNU / LinuxWell, even more. When it comes to doing comparative or search alternatives there are many more practical ones, such as those mentioned in this publication.
