GTK4 Terminal App ‘Black Box’ Gets a Big Ol’ Update

By Rahul RahulspotPertner


 When I wrote about the first release on omgubuntu last year I surmised that, in a sea of VTEs, this app is made buoyant by delivering most of the core features one would expect, plus several you might not!The latest release builds out in both areas. Flashier touches gain buffs (e.g., context-aware header bar coloring), while the array of more common and/or utilitarian features (like process completion notifications for unfocused tabs) is expanded.


Black Box 0.14.0 changes at-a-glance:


New default Adwaita and Adwaita Dark color schemes

Style picker in main menu

Customize working directory of new tabs

Tab/window close confirmations if active process running

Option to disable terminal bell

Option to use bright colors for bold text

See desktop notifications for process completion

‘Open’ and ‘copy link’ options added to the right-click menu

Rename tabs (<3)

Performance improvements

Additionally, the preferences/settings panel is made more orderly by grouping certain configuration together. And a swathe of issues have been addressed in the update, some resolved simply by requesting additional Flatpak Permission. If you’re not averse to an all-singing, all-dancing terminal client then Black Box is worth a play with. It has a great UI and great configurability, providing a functional contrast to the torrent of pared-back, hyper-minimal terminal clients that exist.

  CYBER SECURITY Guardians of the Network: Exploring the World of Intrusion Detection and Prevention System In today’s increasingly digital world, the need for robust cybersecurity measures has never been greater. With the rise of cyber threats such as ransomware, malware, and social engineering attacks, organizations are constantly on the lookout for ways to protect their valuable assets and sensitive data. One such solution is the Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS). An IDPS is a security solution that helps organizations detect and prevent potential cyber attacks before they can do harm. By monitoring network traffic and identifying suspicious activity, an IDPS can provide organizations with the peace of mind they need to focus on their core operations. But as cyber threats continue to evolve and become more sophisticated, the capabilities of IDPS solutions will need to keep pace. In this article, we will explore the future of IDPS and how it will need to adapt to r...

NETWORKING WITH BALLOONS

By Rahul RahulspotPertner
N/S  Starlink has been making tremendous progress towards providing world-wide access to broadband Internet access, but there are a number of downsides to satellite-based internet such as the cluttering of low-Earth orbit, high expense, and moodiness of CEO. There are some alternatives if standard Internet access isn’t available, and one of the more ambitious is providing Internet access by balloon. Project Loon is perhaps the most famous of these (although now defunct), but it’s also possible to skip the middleman and build your own high-altitude balloon capable of connection speeds of 500 Kbps. [Stephen] has been working on this project for a few months and while it doesn’t support a full Internet connection, the downlink on the high altitude balloon is fast enough to send high-resolution images in near-real-time. This is thanks to a Raspberry Pi Zero on board the balloon that is paired with an STM32 board which handles the radio communication on a RF4463 transceiver module. The ...
