The Intel Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) or New Instructions (AES-NI) engine enables extremely fast hardware encryption and decryption for openssl, ssh, vpn, Linux full disk encryption and more. How do I check support for Intel or AMD AES-NI is loaded in my running Linux in my Linux based system including openssl?
Idea – Icons To Remember The Basic Programming Functions
The idea is simple. Learning a programming language as a novice can be difficult. I therefore wonder if we can make it easier for them. Maybe its easy as associate an image or an icon with the keywords. So for the control flow statement ‘for’ I made a quick example icon. Here ‘i’ is the variable that goes from start to end and ‘for’ is the keyword.
You Can Now Have All the Fedora 23 Linux Editions Into a Single Live ISO Image
Today, December 12, we’ve been informed by the developers of the Linux AIO project about the release and immediate availability for download of Linux AIO Fedora 23 Live DVDs.
The new build of the Linux AIO Fedora Live DVD is now based on the latest stable Fedora Linux release, Fedora 23, and includes all the important editions, such as Fedora 23 Workstation (GNOM),, Fedora 23 KDE, Fedora 23 MATE Compiz, Fedora 23 Xfce, Fedora 23 Cinnamon, as well as Fedora 23 LXDE. There are two Linux AIO Fedora 23 Live DVD ISO images available for download…

Linux Foundation Scholarship Recipient: Eduardo Mayorga Téllez
The Linux Foundation regularly awards scholarships as part of its Linux Training Scholarship Program — totaling more than $100,000 in free training over the past 5 years. In this continuing series, we talk with recent scholarship recipients and share their stories with the hope of inspiring others.
Apply by June 30 for a 2016 Linux Foundation Training (LiFT) Scholarship. Learn more.
Eduardo Mayorga Téllez, a Teens in Training scholarship recipient, is 17 and lives in Nicaragua. He plans to become a Linux kernel developer and use his knowledge of device drivers to help Linux support the most hardware possible. He says he often hears classmates and colleagues argue that Linux is not suitable for them because they cannot make the most of their hardware. Eduardo says he will change that.
How did you become interested in Linux and open source?
Just a few years after I used my first computer (around 12 years ago), the technical guy who helped fix my computers told me that I should try out a different operating system. He noted my general interest in computers and, of course, I was open to new experiences.
I was excited about Linux being highly customizable and well suited for programmers.
What Linux Foundation course do you plan to take with your scholarship?
I took LFD331 (Developing Linux Device Drivers) because I am curious about operating systems’ internals, and I want to help Linux support every piece of hardware out there.
How do you expect to use the knowledge you gain from the course?
I aim to become a kernel developer, and I plan to contribute to the kernel upstream. To work in such an important and big project with so many talented people is just appealing, so I want to be part of it.
What are your career goals? How do you see a Linux Foundation course helping you achieve those goals?
I want to do academic research in the field of theoretical computer science, specifically Formal Hardware Verification. I initially thought of kernel hacking as a hobby. However, I then realized training on Linux device drivers would give me a better understanding of the interaction between hardware and software. So, the benefit is not necessarily direct, but complements other knowledge I’ll get in the future.
What other hobbies or projects are you involved in? Do you participate in any open source projects at this time?
I am involved in another big community: OpenStreetMap. I like maps and geodata. I also maintain several Fedora packages, some of them being related to GIS.

Facebook to Open-Source AI Hardware Design
FAIR is more than tripling its investment in GPU hardware as we focus even more on research and enable other teams across the company to use neural networks in our products and services. As part of our ongoing commitment to open source and open standards, we plan to contribute our innovations in GPU hardware to the Open Compute Project so others can benefit from them…
Big Sur is our newest Open Rack-compatible hardware designed for AI computing at a large scale. In collaboration with partners, we’ve built Big Sur to incorporate eight high-performance GPUs of up to 300 watts each, with the flexibility to configure between multiple PCI-e topologies. Leveraging NVIDIA’s Tesla Accelerated Computing Platform…
