Presentations
Learning Nix can be off-putting, as many introductions dive into complex terminology and academic concepts, missing the chance to simplify Nix's advantages. Having given talks both internally and externally, I've shifted to showcasing fun, practical examples first, leaving the nuances for later. Join me to see some straightforward examples of what Nix can offer and why it might be worth adopting.
Managing MySQL in the cloud presents unique challenges and opportunities for optimization. This article highlights key lessons learned, including best practices for performance tuning, scalability, and disaster recovery in cloud-based environments.
This will be a casual presentation by a former Mexican government official. The talk will touch upon legislation established in federal law in Mexico and government agencies structured to promote the use of open source while driving sovereignty. It will also cover some experiences and lessons learned by the presenter in their experience of driving open-source projects from within the government and some examples that are currently in operation.
This talk is about users who uses MySQL either as a normal user or as a Database Administrator (DBA) or someone who just want to view the query result for analytics and need to visualize the result so that be able to monitor and observe it and even send out alerts if detect a change in patterns or KPIs using Grafana OSS and Alerting module.
In today's AI-driven development landscape, the OpenInfra community has a unique opportunity to lead in integrating foundational models (FMs) and AI agents into open-source workflows. By leveraging datasets and collaboration frameworks within the OnpenInfra ecosystem project teams, I have trained and fine-tuned open-source models—including LLaMA 3, SantaCoder, Mistral-7B, and OpenLLaMA-13B—to assist contributors in over 21 socio-technical tasks. These efforts have led to noticeable productivity improvements and offer a roadmap for how OpenInfra can harness AI to meet its objectives.
With the number of Linux kernel vulnerabilities rising, prioritizing security is essential. While the kernel offers many built-in self protection mechanisms, some gaps remain. We propose Linux Virtualization Based Security (LVBS), a security feature that can a) harden the kernel and b) ensure that critical kernel resources remain untampered, even if the kernel gets compromised. VBS uses virtualization and the hypervisor to create a more privileged, isolated virtual environment, called Virtual Trust Level 1 (VTL1). VTL1 has its own kernel where a number of security solutions are hosted.
Join us for a live recording of the AskNoah show where we'll be discussing all the things happening around the Ubuntu world!
You need your own data to be useful with AI and large language models (LLMs). How do you go about that? There has been a lot of focus on making applications intelligent using the power of AI with the help of (LLMs). We will cover how to add intelligence to existing applications with an overview of different techniques starting from prompt engineering, using vector stores to improve the results, and building intelligent agents to solve a problem.
You will learn about the techniques using open-source frameworks to build LLM-powered applications like LangChain & LlamaIndex.
Open source is known as the remarkable collaboration of passionate minds coming together to share tech ideas and solutions for the good of the world. Yet ideally the benefit of open source collaboration is a two-way street. Join us as we look at ways to translate what we do in open source into resume-worthy skills.
This October, I started following along with Linux from Scratch by Gerard Beekmans with the hopes of constructing my own Linux distribution. As with most things computer-related, the simple process I expected turned out to be a tedious, complex, and tiresome one, especially for a relatively inexperienced Linux user like myself. Join me as I tell the story of how I finally made my distribution and try to show the outstanding benefits "doing it yourself" can have with respect to computers and beyond.
