Harnessing the Power of Big Data: Exploring Linux Data Science with Apache Spark and Jupyter
Posted: 2024-06-11 16:00:00 Source: https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/harnessing-power-big-data-exploring-linux-data-science-apache-spark-and-jupyter
Introduction
In today's data-driven world, the ability to process and analyze vast amounts of data is crucial for businesses, researchers, and governments alike. Big data analytics has emerged as a pivotal component in extracting actionable insights from massive datasets. Among the myriad tools available, Apache Spark and Jupyter Notebooks stand out for their capabilities and ease of use, especially when combined in a Linux environment. This article delves into the integration of these powerful tools, providing a guide to exploring big data analytics with Apache Spark and Jupyter on Linux.
Understanding the Basics
Introduction to Big DataBig data refers to datasets that are too large, complex, or fast-changing to be handled by traditional data processing tools. It is characterized by the four V's:
- Volume: The sheer size of data being generated every second by various sources such as social media, sensors, and transactional systems.
- Velocity: The speed at which new data is generated and needs to be processed.
- Variety: The different types of data, including structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data.
- Veracity: The uncertainty of data, ensuring accuracy and trustworthiness despite potential inconsistencies.
Big data analytics plays a crucial role in industries like finance, healthcare, marketing, and logistics, enabling organizations to gain deep insights, improve decision-making, and drive innovation.
Overview of Data ScienceData science is an interdisciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms, and systems to extract knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured data. Key components of data science include:
- Data Collection: Gathering data from various sources.
- Data Processing: Cleaning and transforming raw data into a usable format.
- Data Analysis: Applying statistical and machine learning techniques to analyze data.
- Data Visualization: Creating visual representations to communicate insights effectively.
Data scientists play a critical role in this process, combining domain expertise, programming skills, and knowledge of mathematics and statistics to extract meaningful insights from data.
Why Linux for Data ScienceLinux is the preferred operating system for many data scientists due to its open-source nature, cost-effectiveness, and robustness. Here are some key advantages:

T2 Linux 24.6 Goes Desktop with Integrated Windows Binary Support
Posted: 2024-06-09 20:44:00 Source: https://linux.slashdot.org/story/24/06/09/206204/t2-linux-246-goes-desktop-with-integrated-windows-binary-support?utm_source=atom1.0mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed
T2's open development process and the collection of exotic, vintage and retro hardware can be followed live on YouTube and Twitch. Now Slashdot reader ReneR writes: Embedded T2 Linux is known for its sophisticated cross compile features as well as supporting all CPU architectures, including: Alpha, Arc, ARM(64), Avr32, HPPA(64), IA64, M68k, MIPS(64), Nios2, PowerPC(64)(le), RISCV(64), s390x, SPARC(64), SuperH, x86(64). But now it's going Desktop! 24.6 comes as a major convenience update, with out-of-the-box Windows application compatibility as well as LibreOffice and Thunderbird cross-compiled and in the default base ISO for the most popular CPU architectures. Continuing to keep Intel IA-64 Itanium alive, a major, up-to-3x performance improvement was found for OpenSSL, doubling crypto performance for many popular algorithms and SSH. The project's CI unit testing was further expanded to now cover the whole installation in two variants. The graphical desktop defaults were also polished -- and a T2 branded wallpaper was added! ;-) The release contains 606 changesets, including approximately 750 package updates, 67 issues fixed, 80 packages or features added, 21 removed and 9 other improvements.

New Linux Version of Ransomware Targets VMware ESXi
Posted: 2024-06-08 21:34:00 Source: https://linux.slashdot.org/story/24/06/08/1936257/new-linux-version-of-ransomware-targets-vmware-esxi?utm_source=atom1.0mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed
"Researchers observed a new Linux variant of the TargetCompany ransomware family that targets VMware ESXi environments," reports BleepingComputer: In a report Wednesday, cybersecurity company Trend Micro says that the new Linux variant for TargetCompany ransomware makes sure that it has administrative privileges before continuing the malicious routine... Once on the target system, the payload checks if it runs in a VMware ESXi environment by executing the 'uname' command and looking for 'vmkernel.' Next, a "TargetInfo.txt" file is created and sent to the command and control (C2) server. It contains victim information such as hostname, IP address, OS details, logged-in users and privileges, unique identifiers, and details about the encrypted files and directories. The ransomware will encrypt files that have VM-related extensions (vmdk, vmem, vswp, vmx, vmsn, nvram), appending the ".locked" extension to the resulting files. Finally, a ransom note named "HOW TO DECRYPT.txt" is dropped, containing instructions for the victim on how to pay the ransom and retrieve a valid decryption key. "After all tasks have been completed, the shell script deletes the payload using the 'rm -f x' command so all traces that can be used in post-incident investigations are wiped from impacted machines."

Lansweeper Finds 26% of Its Users On CentOS, Facing May 1st End-of-life
Posted: 2024-06-08 17:34:00 Source: https://linux.slashdot.org/story/24/06/08/0549228/lansweeper-finds-26-of-its-users-on-centos-facing-may-1st-end-of-life?utm_source=atom1.0mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed
"Lansweeper's scans of its customers' networks found an awful lot of Linux boxes facing imminent end of life," reports the Register, "with no direct upgrade path." Belgian corporate network scanner vendor Lansweeper periodically collates some of the statistics collected by its users and publishes the results... This year's report says that while a third of its users' Linux machines run Ubuntu, second place goes to CentOS Linux [with 26.05%]. Back in 2020, Red Hat brought CentOS Linux 8's end of life forward from 2029 to the end of 2021. CentOS Linux 9 was canceled, CentOS Linux 8 is dead and gone, leaving only CentOS Linux 7. As we reported in May, CentOS 7's end of life is very close now — the end of June. After this month, no more updates. Of course, Red Hat will be happy to help you migrate to RHEL. It offers a free tool to switch boxes' package source, but RHEL 7 hits what Red Hat terms "the end of its maintenance support 2 phase" on the same day. RHEL 7 isn't EOL, but you'll need to pay extra for "Extended Lifecycle Support (ELS)" to keep security fixes coming. Lansweeper seems confident this will happen: "Assuming most of the CentOS devices will migrate over to RHEL, we can expect RHEL to comfortably take over first place from Ubuntu soon." RHEL was already on 20% of the machines scanned by Lansweeper (with Rocky Linux at 1.5%). But the Register argues that instead of switching to RHEL, "the freeloaders running CentOS Linux might well migrate to one of the RHELatives instead. CIQ publishes guidance on how to migrate to Rocky Linux, and will help if you buy its CIQ Bridge service. AlmaLinux has more than that with its ELevate tool to perform in-place version upgrades, as we described back in 2022. "Or, of course, you could just reinstall with Debian, and run anything you can't immediately reprovision in a free RHEL container image."
