hello testing list migration to new server
by Pirate Praveen 16 Dec '20

Hi, We have been trying migrate the mailing list to lists.fsci.in for sometime but due to technical issues encountered with mailman 2 to mailman 3, we had to wait. Finally with help from Akshay S Dinesh, we fixed the issue. So if you see this message, please reply so we can confirm the move to new server is successful. Now you can go to https://lists.fsci.in to see the archives and even post directly from the web. Mailman 3 has much proved web interface. Thanks also to Siddharth, Abhijith, Abhinav, Bady, Akhil, Anurag and probably more people who made this possible. Thanks Praveen

order of proximity from the Centre while alighting: Kurla terminus, Dadar terminus, Bombay Central and CST (Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus or VT (Victoria Terminus), farthest being CST. From each of the stations you may follow the instructions given below to reach the Centre. * If you alight at CST/VT, buy a ticket to Mankhurd board the trains marked M, VA, BR, KD or PL. The journey time is approximately 55 minutes. After alighting at Mankhurd get out of the station on the east side and take an auto-rikshaw (three wheeler) to Anushakti Nagar Bus Terminus. Soon after the first right turn you will see HBCSE to your left. * If you alight at Dadar, you may directly take a taxi to Anushaktinagar Bus Terminus or BARC Gate. The taxi fare will be about Rs.120/-. It is not advisable to take the suburban train in the evening after 3pm, specially on a working day. If you wish to come by the suburban train, buy a ticket to Mankhurd, take a train for Kurla station, and then switch over to harbour line train on platform number 7 to reach Mankhurd. After alighting at Mankhurd get out of the station on the east side and take an auto-rikshaw (three wheeler) to Anushakti Nagar Bus Terminus. Soon after the first right turn you will see HBCSE to your left. * If you alight at Kurla, you may take an auto-rikshaw (three wheeler) to Anushaktinagar Bus Terminus or BARC Gate. Auto fare will be about Rs.30/-. If you wish to come by the local train buy a ticket to Mankhurd and board harbour line train on platform number 7. After alighting at the Mankhurd station, get out of the station on the east side and take an auto-rikshaw (three wheeler) for Anushakti Nagar Bus Terminus. Soon after the first right turn, before reaching the bus terminus, you will see HBCSE to your left. * If you alight at Bombay Central, you may take a taxi to Anushakti nagar bus terminus. Taxi fare will be about Rs.150/-. A cheaper option would be to take a suburban train to Bandra, and then take an auto-rikshaw to Anushakti Nagar Bus Terminus. Auto fare from Bandra will be about Rs.60/-. From Bandra you can also board BEST bus, route number 371 directly to the bus terminus.

In brief: Kollar-Kotelly accepts the settlement that the Federal Gov't and some states wanted, but she wants a minor change to it; and she has decided the case which was pursued by the other states as well, mostly ordering Microsoft to refrain from certain behaviors with regard to the user-visible desktop. Overall: a massive win for Microsoft, who can restrict the release of its APIs to major commercial companies only. </quote> [1] http://www.dcd.uscourts.gov/Opinions/2002/Kotelly/FinalDecree.pdf [2] http://www.dcd.uscourts.gov/Opinions/2002/Kotelly/Lit11-1.pdf [3] http://www.dcd.uscourts.gov/Opinions/2002/Kotelly/PubIntOrd.pdf [4] http://www.dcd.uscourts.gov/Opinions/2002/Kotelly/StateSettlement.pdf [5] http://www.dcd.uscourts.gov/Opinions/2002/Kotelly/Statesord.pdf An Anonymous Reader on newsforge.com sums it up as "If the Beltway sniper could get the same judge, they will be told not to do it again and be given a new box of cartridges." -- Tahir Hashmi (VSE, NCST) http://staff.ncst.ernet.in/tahir tahir AT ncst DOT ernet DOT in We, the rest of humanity, wish GNU luck and Godspeed

The demise of CentOS as we knew it
by Arun Khan 14 Dec '20

14 Dec '20

You may have read about this already. Sharing the news as FYI for those using CentOS as an RHEL compatible OS. IBM/RHEL has changed the strategy for CentOS support (software) with CentOS 8 (EOL 2021-12-31); CentOS 7 support will not change till it's EOL in 2024-06-24 [1]. The gist of it. CentOS 8 will become "upstream" for RHEL and no longer be based on RHEL source RPMs; break binary compatibility. Read more here >> https://blog.centos.org/2020/12/future-is-centos-stream/ Many enterprises adopted CentOS because of it's binary compatibility with RHEL and 3rd party software solutions. Small companies, developers, and even big enterprises who are using CentOS will have to rethink their Linux OS roadmap. Here is an ArsTechnica article with alternates for RHEL compatibility. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/12/centos-linux-is-gone-but-its-refuge… [1] https://wiki.centos.org/About/Product -- Arun Khan (অরুণ খান্/अरुण खान) "If you do not come out of your shell, you are just a nut."
