“Der moderne Faschismus kommt digital”, sagen manche. Wie funktionieren aber eigentlich KI oder LLMs (Large Language Model), was können sie und was können sie insbesondere nicht? Welche Ideologien von (rechten) Techbro-Oligarchen wie Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Sam Altman und Co. stehen dahinter? Werden wir alle bald arbeitslos oder entscheidet KI sogar über Abschiebungen oder Gerichtsprozesse? Wie vi...

Psychedelisch Assistierte Psychotherapie (PAT) erlebt nach jahrzehntelanger Verdrängung ein erstaunliches Comeback. Forschende sprechen von einer Renaissance, Medien berichten von Durchbrüchen. Was einst als riskant galt, wird zunehmend ernst genommen. Doch kann ein Trip wirklich heilen? Der Vortrag verbindet Forschung mit Alltag und zeigt, wie Psychedelika im Gehirn wirken und in der Therapie hel...

SUSE Package Hub delivers open source packages to enterprise users in combination with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. This talk covers the basic understanding how Package Hub is designed to work since it is sharing a collection of same sources with the corresponding openSUSE Leap version. Furthermore we will show the planned future, what is going to change, and how to contribute. Licensed to the pu...

Open source software is powering global innovation. In less developed regions, it's not just technology but a catalyst for closing the digital divide and fueling economic and social progress. This session explores how open source software goes beyond just coding as it creates real opportunities and positive change in the world’s least developed areas. For software developers in underserved regions...

This session explores the utilization of parallelism and rolling updates within Ansible playbooks to expedite deployment processes and facilitate faster releases. As organizations strive for agility and efficiency in their software delivery pipelines, optimizing deployment strategies becomes crucial. By leveraging Ansible's parallel execution capabilities and implementing rolling updates, teams ca...

Do you want to detect threats real-time and easily search logs to find relevant information? By default, incoming log messages are treated in log management apps as one long string. This is good enough if you just want to store logs. However, if you also want to act on log messages, you need more structured information. Syslog-ng and other applications also let you parse log messages. While parsin...

Recent global political events have up ended the global order. Coupled with the EOL of Windows 10, does Desktop Linux have a shot at the mass replacement of Windows in the corporate and government sectors? This wide ranging talk will cover the reasons why I think it does, and how we might achieve this goal. I believe it is easier than we think. **#Endof10 event** Licensed to the public under https...

### Introduction: The Need for Secure and Reliable Booting In the ever-evolving landscape of Linux distributions, security and boot reliability have become paramount concerns. Traditionally, the boot process relied on separate kernel and initrd components, leading to potential vulnerabilities and complexities. This presentation delves into the journey of integrating a more robust and secure boot m...

The Linux kernel scheduler is a critical component, profoundly impacting system performance and responsiveness. Traditionally, changing the scheduler has involved recompilation, rebooting, or complex kernel module management – a significant barrier for experimentation and fine-grained performance tuning. SchedKit dramatically simplifies this process, enabling users to dynamically switch between sc...

openSUSE Leap is a "traditional" community distribution built on binary packages from SLES. In this session, we'll dive into the recently released openSUSE Leap 16.0 Beta, exploring its new features and changes. We'll also cover the migration process from Leap 15, including any challenges or considerations to keep in mind. Licensed to the public under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0...

Last three years I have talked at this conference about SUSE’s plans, the products to come, as well as the technology included. As over the time the plans are adjusted, this session will summarise the state of the matters, SUSE's plan for upcoming product releases and, most importantly, what it means for openSUSE Leap and Micro.

Using configuration management like SALT or ansible for servers or more or less simple applications is standard practice in the industry. But, what if we talk about complex systems with special configurations and complex interactions? In the production industry we talk about "digital twins", which enables faster development and better integrations. For IT systems we talk now about a "digital bluep...

When using tools like RPM or Zypper for updating packages, there is a risk of incomplete updates or breaking the running system. To overcome these challenges, we have developed **container-snap**, a prototype plugin designed to deliver **atomic OS updates** that are fully applied or rolled back without compromising the system's state. **container-snap** leverages OCI images as the source for updat...

Are you in search of RPM-based CI for your project hosted on GitHub or GitLab? Allow us to introduce [Packit](https://packit.dev/), the upstream integration tailored specifically for RPM distributions. Initially conceived for Fedora, Packit now extends its capabilities to encompass the entire RPM family. In this presentation, we will explore Packit and how to use it for your project. Attendees can...

In this presentation, I will give an introduction to the projects that the Future Technology team is working on and report on the current status. Some of the bigger topics are: - Update on Full Disk Encryption with TPM and Fido2 - Adding grub2-BLS support: - YaST2 - Images (including with full disk encryption) - Making it the default - Adding FDE+TPM support to YaST2 - New features for transaction...

In this talk, I’ll share my personal experience using Linux as a student, from high school to university. I’ll talk about what it is like, what challenges I face, and how I manage day-to-day study tasks with Linux.

When proprietary products are discontinued or bought up by competitors, your own (decision-making) freedom can quickly become precarious. A discontinued product forces you to migrate, incurs costs, and imposes unwelcome decisions. Not so with open source software: it offers me the freedom to develop the code further at any time, either on my own or with new partners, and to set up new support chai...

Uyuni offers two powerful APIs (XMLRPC and JSON) to integrate additional third-party applications. This talk demonstrates two integrations that allow users driving infrastructure automation: - an [Ansible collection](https://github.com/stdevel/ansible-collection-uyuni) that integrates Uyuni into Ansible and Event-driven Ansible. It allows controlling managed systems and enables users to continue u...

SELinux is a Mandatory Access Control (MAC) system that enhances a system's security by enforcing policy-based access control rules. For a long time openSUSE and SUSE have relied heavily on AppArmor as default MAC system. With the decision to switch to SELinux as default MAC on SLE 16 and openSUSE Tumbleweed, there are multiple challenges that we have to overcome to integrate SELinux into those di...

‘Public Money? Public Code!’ under this slogan thousands of individuals and hundreds of organisations come together and advocate for Free and Open Source Software in public institutions. Together with over 230 organisations the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) is calling for public institutions to publish publicly financed software under a Free and Open Source Software license - If it is pub...
