Since starting the SerenityOS project in 2018, my goal has been “to build a complete desktop operating system to eventually use as my daily driver”. What started as a little therapy project for myself has blossomed into a huge OSS community with hundreds of people working on it all over the world. We’ve gone from nothing to a capable system with its own browser stack in the last 4 years. Throughout this incredible expansion, my own goals have remained the same. Today I’m updating them a little bit: in addition to building a new OS for myself, I’m also going to build a cross-platform web browser. If there is one person who can pull off making a web browser and turning it into a successful-enough open source application, it’s Andreas Kling. His work on SerenityOS is simply stunning and inspirational, attracting hundreds of people to work on a ’90s-inspired alternative desktop operating system. If he can organise the same amount of enthusiasm for Ladybird, it has a real shot at becoming a successful, but niche, browser. For now, it’s very early days, and Kling is open and honest about how much work is still left to do. Since all the code is new – this isn’t a fork or Blink, WebKit, or Gecko – you can imagine this isn’t exactly going to be an easy ride. It’s currently running on Linux, Windows through WSL, macOS, and Android, and Kling states the Linux version if the best tested one. I’m definitely excited for this one.

How to Use WordPress Gutenberg Editor | Free Video Course | #conclusions | Final Part
What Is WordPress Gutenberg???
WordPress Gutenberg is a completely redesigned and reimagined editor. This is a great treat for WordPress users who see the editor as a simple fix for a series of problems. In fact, users who directly deal with content production (bloggers, editors, copywriters) have only good things to say about the Gutenberg editor.
It has replaced the WordPress Classic Editor, TinyMCE and has become a part of the WordPress core with WordPress 5.0 onwards.
Gutenberg WordPress Editor elevates the experience of creating posts and pages to a new level — enriching the experience of creating content. It’s not just a simple tool that you can use to write the perfect blog posts, but a powerful visual editor. It is based on a block architecture that allows users to create any type of content conveniently.
In order to eliminate shortcodes and manual HTML blocks and to greatly simplify the process of editing and publishing content, Gutenberg provides dynamic blocks, thus making content creation and page management more user-friendly.

Acquia Developer Portal Blog: Drupal Cache Strategy with Varnish and Edge CDN on Acquia
The requirement is to cache content for as long as possible, but update promptly when content changes are made in Drupal.
Note that in this setup I’m using Acquia Edge powered by Cloudflare, but the strategy would be similar for Acquia Edge powered by Akamai.
The objective is to bootstrap Drupal as infrequently as possible, by relying on the Varnish and CDN layers, but always to serve fresh content: Cache pages in Varnish for a long time, but provide a method (Purge) to invalidate Varnish when a content change is made in Drupal. At the CDN layer, the goal is to make sure the current version of a page is delivered to the browser, by checking Varnish frequently to see if a new version is available. This check is a lightweight call to Varnish. If Varnish does not have a new version, the CDN-cached version is delivered.
Drupal Modules:
Python 3.11.0rc2 is now available
This is the second release candidate of Python 3.11
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3110rc2/
This release, 3.11.0rc2, is the last preview before the final release of Python 3.11.0 on 2022-10-24.
Entering the release candidate phase, only reviewed code changes which are clear bug fixes are allowed between this release candidate and the final release. The second candidate and the last planned release preview is currently planned for Monday, 2022-09-05 while the official release is planned for Monday, 2022-10-24.
There will be no ABI changes from this point forward in the 3.11 series and the goal is that there will be as few code changes as possible.
Modification of the final release
Due to the fact that we needed to delay the last release candidate by a week and because of personal scheduling problems I am delaying the final release to 2022-10-24 (three weeks from the original date).
Call to action
The 3.11 branch is now accepting changes for 3.11.1. To maximize stability, the final release will be cut from the v3.11.0rc2 tag. If you
need the release manager (me) to cherry-pick any critical fixes, mark issues as release blockers, and/or add me as a reviewer on a critical
backport PR on GitHub. To see which changes are currently cherry-picked for inclusion in 3.11.0, look at the short-lived branch-v3.11.0
https://github.com/python/cpython/tree/branch-v3.11.0 on GitHub.
Core developers: all eyes on the docs now
* Are all your changes properly documented?
* Did you notice other changes you know of to have insufficient documentation?
Community members
We strongly encourage maintainers of third-party Python projects to prepare their projects for 3.11 compatibilities during this phase. As always, report any issues to the Python bug tracker.
Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and its use is **not** recommended for production environments.
Major new features of the 3.11 series, compared to 3.10
Among the new major new features and changes so far:
- PEP 657 – Include Fine-Grained Error Locations in Tracebacks
- PEP 654 – Exception Groups and except*
- PEP 673 – Self Type
- PEP 646 – Variadic Generics
- PEP 680 – tomllib: Support for Parsing TOML in the Standard Library
- PEP 675 – Arbitrary Literal String Type
- PEP 655 – Marking individual TypedDict items as required or potentially-missing
- bpo-46752 – Introduce task groups to asyncio
- PEP 681 – Data Class Transforms
- bpo-433030– Atomic grouping ((?>…)) and possessive quantifiers (
*+, ++, ?+, {m,n}+) are now supported in regular expressions. - The Faster Cpython Project is already yielding some exciting results. Python 3.11 is up to 10-60% faster than Python 3.10. On average, we measured a 1.22x speedup on the standard benchmark suite. See Faster CPython for details.
(Hey, fellow core developer, if a feature you find important is missing from this list, let Pablo know.)
The next release will be the final release of Python 3.11.0, which is currently scheduled for Monday, 2022-10-24.

And now for something completely different
In general relativity, a white hole is a theoretical region of spacetime and singularity that cannot be entered from the outside, although energy-matter, light and information can escape from it. In this sense, it is the reverse of a black hole, which can be entered only from the outside and from which energy-matter, light and information cannot escape. White holes appear in the theory of eternal black holes. In addition to a black hole region in the future, such a solution of the Einstein field equations has a white hole region in its past. This region does not exist for black holes that have formed through gravitational collapse, however, nor are there any observed physical processes through which a white hole could be formed. Supermassive black holes are theoretically predicted to be at the centre of every galaxy and that possibly, a galaxy cannot form without one. Stephen Hawking and others have proposed that these supermassive black holes spawn a supermassive white hole.
We hope you enjoy the new releases!

A summary piece on spam fighting and spamd(8) in particular and 300,000 imaginary friends
In a recent piece titled The Things Spammers Believe – A Tale of 300,000 Imaginary Friends, undeadly.org co-editor Peter Hansteen summarizes more than 15 years (yes, it has been that long) of improving the noise levels in mail feeds.
The main tools are what comes in the base system of our favorite operating system, with particular focus on spamd(8) and the greytrapping feature.
The article leads in with
It finally happened. Today, I added the three hundred thousandth (yes, 300,000th) spamtrap address to my greytrapping setup, for the most part fished out of incoming traffic here, for spammers to consume.
and is liberally sprinkled with references to other relevant material.
The article is also available in a trackerless (aside from the server’s ordinarily rotated log) version.
