IBM's New Open Source Kabanero Promises to Simplify Kubernetes for DevOps
At OSCON, IBM unveiled a new open source platform that promises to make Kubernetes easier to manage for DevOps teams
IBM unveiled new software it's releasing as open source to help simplify Kubernetes for enterprises wanting to jump on the cloud-native bandwagon.I have a hard time believing it will be easier than Rancher or even kubeadm.
IBM and "simplification" rarely go hand in hand.

What Is AppImage in Linux?
On a Linux distro, you should always install new software with the aid of your package manager when possible.
It keeps things clean, and all files are tracked by the manager and can be easily removed later.MuseScore uses this. It's pretty slick.

Isn't that basically just a single executable with all the important bits baked in -- similar to a self-extracting zip file?

Linux 5.3 rc1
It's been two weeks, and the merge window is over, and Linux 5.3-rc1
is tagged and pushed out.
This is a pretty big release, judging by the commit count. Not the
biggest ever (that honor still goes to 4.9-rc1, which was
exceptionally big), and we've had a couple of comparable ones (4.12,
4.15 and 4.19 were also big merge windows), but it's definitely up
there. -
India has launched an ambitious mission to the Moon
Today is a historical day for space and science and technology in India.
On Monday, an Indian rocket launched a spacecraft bound for the Moon from Sriharikota, a barrier island off the Bay of Bengal coast. This Chandrayaan-2 mission is the second spacecraft India has sent to the Moon, and it represents a significant effort to explore the lunar surface and its potential as a source for water ice. -

Yeah. You don’t extract anything though. You give the file execute permissions and that’s it.

Can Disney’s Circle really deliver a porn-free Internet?
We test Disney's Circle Internet-filtering service.
Filtering out the bits of human knowledge you don't like and leaving all the bits you do is a deceptively difficult task; it's one of the classic "I may not know art, but I know what I (don't) like" problems. If you have a family with small children and absolutely any adult member of that family is not a complete libertine, though, it's a problem you'll need to address. The Disney-backed Circle filtering platform aims to help, via either a standalone IoT gadget ($35) or a service embedded in higher-end Netgear routers and mesh kits, such as Orbi RBK50 ($300) or Nighthawk R7000P ($160). -
Huawei: Government decision on 5G rollout delayed
A decision on whether controversial Chinese firm Huawei should be excluded from the rollout of 5G mobile phone networks in the UK has been postponed.
Culture secretary Jeremy Wright said the government is "not yet in a position" to decide what involvement Huawei should have in the 5G network.
Mr Wright said the implication of the recent US ban on its companies from dealing with Huawei was not clear.
Until it was, he said the government would be "wrong" to make a decision.
"We will do so as soon as possible," he told the House of Commons.
The US banned companies from selling components and technology to Huawei and 68 related companies on 15 May, citing national security concerns.
It later issued a temporary licence that enabled some companies to continue supporting existing Huawei networks and devices.
Mr Wright said the US decision "could have a potential impact on the future availability and reliability of Huawei's products, together with other market impacts, and so are relevant considerations in determining Huawei's involvement in the network". -

Not really as amazing as that they can do this without feeding their people.

Or maybe they think there is more food on the moon than in all of India.
It is made of cheese after all.
