Goval es un artista que cuestiona y provoca a través de su arte. Sus obras tienen poca presencia en el mundo comercial y buscan comunicar reflexiones sobre la realidad social. Sus "cajas" utilizan objetos cotidianos descontextualizados para generar nuevos significados e invitan al espectador a participar como co-creador. Goval se inspira en pioneros de la poesía visual pero busca llevar el compromiso político y social del arte más allá de lo meramente estético.

Queensland floods by Daisy Dumas, Australian Geographicdaisydumas
The document summarizes the impacts of recent flooding in southeast Queensland on local wildlife. During floods, many animals are threatened by being washed away, relocated, or drowned if they cannot swim, fly, or climb to higher ground. Tree-dwelling animals like koalas were able to survive if trees remained standing. In the aftermath, animals must find new food sources and migration routes as the landscape changes, increasing predation for some. Marine species are also affected by changes in water quality after floods. The AG Society is fundraising to track whale sharks and protect seagrass beds impacted by flood runoff.

His favorite dish was ceviche in Iquitos, Peru, which provided relief after some inedible meals early in his journey. The trip confirmed his view that good company and context are essential to a perfect meal.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices.

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
