Soft updates (softdep) disabled for future VFS work

by
A low key leak from the ongoing g2k23 hackathon comes the news that
soft updates
(aka
softdep) will, for now, be a no-op
on OpenBSD-current.

The commit message by Bob Beck (beck@) reads,

Log message:
Make softdep mounts a no-op

Softdep is a significant impediment to progressing in the vfs layer
so we plan to get it out of the way. It is too clever for us to
continue maintaining as it is.

We look forward to further work and explanation of the motivation behind this change, sure to follow.

GNU Health: The importance of Health Informatics in Kenya – Cirugía Solidaria and GNU Health

GNU Health: The importance of Health Informatics in Kenya – Cirugía Solidaria and GNU Health

The team from Cirugía Solidaria has completed another successful campaign in the African continent.

GNU Health: The importance of Health Informatics in Kenya – Cirugía Solidaria and GNU Health
Health professionals from Maragua hospital and Cirugía Solidaria with GNU Health Hospital Management System training session

The project took place in the hospital of Maragua, in Muranga county, Kenya. Dr. Victor López, from Cirugía Solidaria, describes the experiences during the seven day mission:

“In our latest project in Maragua, Kenya, we had 406 patient evaluations, and 142 of these patients underwent surgery. Some relevant information on the surgical procedures were 32 pediatric surgeries, 22 goiter, 11 cervical masses and 13 oncological surgeries. In addition, we detected 36 patients with cancer that were referred to the Kenya National Cancer Registry for treatment and followup.”

The mission checklist: In these type of projects, there are quite a bit of preparation that starts at home, in Spain, before taking the airplane to the final destination. In addition to the medical and surgical infrastructure, since the partnership with GNU Solidario, medical informatics components are now part of every mission from Cirugía Solidaria. For instance, the GNUHealth Hospital Management system instance is created, with the functionality and localization to meet the health institution needs and country needs. Network routers, laptops, batteries, backup devices…. everything has do be tested thoroughly in different contexts, because once you arrive to destination, there might not be Internet available.

Surgical training: In addition to the medical assistance and surgical procedures, Cirugía Solidaria also takes the Dr López noted, in addition, 11 health professionals have participated in training sessions related to surgery.

The role of GNUHealth: Dr. López went on highlighting the importance of GNUHealth. We want to highlight the GNU Health Hospital Management System in the our medical and surgical assistance. We have recorded all the patients, the evaluations and the details of the surgical procedures. In addition, we have addressed notes and details so we can followup when we return to the center. Moreover, GNU Health has been managed 100% by the health professionals from Kenya, they’ve have felt fully integrated in the initiative, being now part of the team. We are very grateful to the GNUHealth community for the enormous task they do to improve the assistance in countries and places that need it most.

We’d like to remark the importance of Dr. Lopez statement “GNU Health has been managed 100% by the health professionals from Kenya“. This is key, because not only the mission is very valuable to help those that need it most (medical and surgical), but it also generates local capacity and sustainable projects, for the betterment of our societies.

We are very grateful to Cirugía Solidaria and excited to keep on working side-by-side in upcoming projects, building local capacity and delivering a much needed universal healthcare. By looking at the statistics from the latest campaign, those numbers reflect lives that have been saved by anonymous heroes that leave their daily work aside to assist the underprivileged anywhere around the world.

Finally, some technical details for those of us who understand that Free/Libre software and open science are key for freedom, privacy and equity in healthcare: GNUHealth instance was installed on a Debian GNU/Linux 12 server, with GNU Health Hospital Information Management System component 4.2, Tryton 6.0 and PostgreSQL 15. Our gratitude to these fabulous pieces of software, that make GH a reality today.

Undawn gameplay walkthrough part 1

by
Game Description:Undawn
About this game
Explore, adapt, and survive in Undawn, a free-to-play open-world survival RPG for mobile and PC developed by LightSpeed Studios and published by Level Infinite. Embark on an adventure with other survivors four years after a worldwide disaster where hordes of infected roam a shattered world. Undawn combines PvP and PvE modes as players fend off dual threats of the infected and other humans as they fight to survive in this apocalyptic wasteland.

SURVIVE YOUR WAY
Become the endurance expert. Protect your home, allies, and what’s left of humanity against overwhelming odds. The seamless open world of Undawn is filled with realistic details, made using Unreal Engine 4. In this world, players must brave rain, heat, snow, and storms and track their character’s survival indicators such as Hunger, Body Type, Vigor, Health, Hydration, and even Mood. Changes in the environment will also affect these survival indicators in real time. Players can customize their character’s appearance and outfits, interact with other players to trade weapons and resources, and fight to protect their resources.

EXPLORE AN EXPANSIVE OPEN WORLD
Dare to explore a huge seamless map filled with distinct terrains such as plains, mines, deserts, swamps, and abandoned cities, each with diverse ecosystems filled with animals, plants, and weather systems. While exploring the remains of society, players can discover special game modes through interactive environmental items, embattled strongholds, and dynamic weekly events and side quests. Players must bravely explore the continent, learning to craft tools, master different weapons, build a shelter, search for survival buddies, and do everything they can to stay alive. The infected can appear anytime as you are exploring and are a huge threat to your continued existence!

REBUILD THE RUINS
Rebuild a new home and a new civilization with the wisdom of humanity – build your base of operations to your specifications and survive on your own or with your friends inside a massive 1-acre manor. The robust free building system allows more than 1,000 types and styles of furniture and structures, as well as ways to grow your settlement over time. Search for other outposts to form alliances and fight back against the infected together to keep your home safe.

SQUAD UP TO SURVIVE
Set yourself up for success as a member of the storied Raven Squad. The raven is traditionally a symbol of death and bad omens but can also stand for prophecy and insight. Your squad lives between these two meanings each day and night. In the new world, four years after the disaster, survivors have split into different factions, each with their own rules of survival. Face off against members of the Clowns, Eagles, Night Owls, and Reivers for territory, and get through some darkest nights for the next sunrise.
