Linux Mint 22.2 to Include Fingerprint Configuration Tool

Image
In its latest monthly news update, the Linux Mint development team announced that the upcoming release, Linux Mint 22.2, will include fingwit , a new tool for configuring user fingerprint authentication. The fingwit application interface that will be included in Linux Mint 22.2 22.2 This tool will detect whether the computer has a fingerprint scanner and, if so, allow users to register their fingerprint data. Once recorded, fingerprint data can be used by the system for authentication in the following scenarios:     Login screen     Screensaver     sudo command     Admin applications (pkexec) Under the hood, fingwit uses fprintd along with its own PAM module, which is said to be more advanced due to its ability to automatically switch between fingerprint and password-based authentication in specific situations. This addition further strengthens Linux Mint’s position as a recommended desktop distribution, especially for users w...

Mencari Laptop Baru

D*ll V*stro 3400 yang sudah menemani saya sekitar 5 tahun mengalami retak body di dekat port ethernet sampai ke keyboardnya. Prosesor Core i3-1115G4 yang menjadi otaknya sebenaarnya masih cukup enak dipakai buat harian, apalagi setelah saya upgrade RAM ke 16GB dan NVMe nya ke 1TB - minus udah ga kuat buat coding Android sih (udah ga tahu lagi, kayaknya harus terus ke spek high end kalau mau nyaman coding native Android). Penggunaan laptop sehari-hari saya di bidang IT muter-muter di coding yang ga terlalu berat sih setelah menyerah sama Android, kemudian keperluan office untuk penulisan paper, dan lebih banyak browsing. Dengan kondisi body laptop yang sudah retak, saya mempertimbangkan untuk membeli laptop baru dengan penggunaan utama untuk coding. Kali ini pertimbangan utama saya adalah : diusahakan dapat spek maksimal (Core i7 atau Ryzen 7), minimal RAM 16 GB dan memungkinkan upgrade RAM, build quality bagus setidaknya masih bisa dipakai 8 hingga 10 tahun ke depan *dalam artian tidak...

The Use of def, val, and var in Scala Programming

def is used to create a method. Example: def adjustedCosineSimilarity(dotProduct: Double, ratingNorm: Double, rating2Norm: Double) = { dotProduct / (ratingNorm * rating2Norm) } val is used to create a fixed value or constant (a value that cannot be changed). Example: val threshold = 0.5 Meanwhile, var is used to create a variable (a value that can be changed). Example: var n = 0

Waking Up Early at Dawn, or Even Before It

Image
Waking up early at dawn, or even before dawn during the last third of the night, is something that most people find hard to do. It’s understandable—some people turn into “night owls,” using the day to sleep and the night to work. But waking up early is actually really important, folks. One major reason is so you don’t miss the dawn (Subuh) prayer. You’ve probably heard the saying that one sign of the success of the Muslim community is when the congregation at the Subuh prayer is as large as the one at Friday prayers. Wouldn’t you want to be part of that revival? To help make it easier to wake up early, here are a few things you can prepare: 1. Don’t Stay Up Too Late This one’s super important. It’s best to sleep early at night if you want a more restful sleep. For example, if you go to bed by 9 PM, you can plan to sleep for 6 hours and wake up at 3 AM—that's already plenty of rest. The ideal amount of sleep varies for each person, but there’s a good principle to follow: don’t ...

Python Shell as Calculator

Image
In my day-to-day laptop use, I often need a tool to perform calculations. On Linux, there are several calculator tool options, such as Mate Calculator ( mate-calc ), which is the default application for the Mate desktop environment, or KCalc , which is available in KDE . However, I often prefer to use another alternative: the Python shell or Python REPL for performing simple calculations. To run the Python shell, you can open a terminal and type the command python3. Through the Python shell, you can perform basic operations such as addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication. aritmatika sederhana menggunakan python shell / python REPL In addition to simple arithmetic operations, the Python shell can also be used for trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic calculations, as well as basic statistics—by first importing the necessary libraries.
