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. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
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.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

4. Tricare chooses Metlife not United Concordia for dental coverage
The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) upheld a decision to award a $3.1 billion Tricare dental
plan contract to a different insurer, its first change in 15 years. Tricare Management Activity agency at the
U.S. Department of Defense decided to give New York, N.Y.-based Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. a $3.1
billion dental plan contract rather than United Concordia Cos., based in Harrisburg, Pa. Tricare managers de-
cided that the MetLife provider network suited the military insurance program better than United Concordia’s
network, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette reported. United Concordia, a division of Pittsburgh, Pa.-based High-
mark, was the Tricare dental program provider for 15 years.
Effective May 1, 2012, MetLife will become the dental carrier for the TDP. MetLife will begin providing den-
tal coverage to over 2 million family members of uniformed service active duty personnel, members of the
Selected Reserve and Individual Ready Reserve, their eligible family members, and Survivors.
Beneficiaries will have access to MetLife's network with over 161,000 dentist access points, and this number
continues to grow. Additional information about the contract is available at www.tricare.mil/TDPcontract and
benefit updates are available at www.tricare.mil.
PLEASE NOTE that the change to MetLife is for the TDP program only. The Active Duty Dental Program
will still be administered by United Concordia®. Changes to the TDP will include enhanced dental coverage
at a lower premium share than before. MetLife will distribute program information, provider network details
beginning in first quarter 2012. Highlights to the benefits and enhancements are listed below:
· Coverage of posterior resin (tooth colored/white) fillings
· Increase in the annual maximum to $1,300 per enrollee (formerly this was $1,200
· Increase in the lifetime orthodontic maximum to $1,750
· $1,200 per year for services related to dental treatment due to an accident as defined in the TDP handbook
· No cost shares for scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) for diabetics
· Coverage of an additional (3rd) cleaning for women during pregnancy
· Expansion of the survivor benefits to surviving spouse and child(ren)
If you would like to check if your dentist is already part of the MetLife network,
please click Find a Dentist on the right and search for a DPPO provider. If the
dentist is not a member, dentists can easily request an application on our web-
site for dentists, http://www.metdental.com/.
Effective May 1, 2012
MetLife will become the dental carrier for the Tricare Dental Plan.
MetLife and United Concordia, the current TDP contractor, are working together to complete the contract
transition activities for MetLife’s start on May 1, 2012. TDP claims with a date of service prior to May 1,
2012 will continue to be processed by United Concordia until April 30, 2013. All TDP claims with a date of
service on or after May 1, 2012 will be submitted to MetLife. Please make note of these important dates to
ensure timely processing of your TDP claims. The new TDP contract that MetLife will be administering is
not to be confused with the separate TRICARE dental contract that covers eligible uniformed service mem-
bers. The Active Duty Dental Program (ADDP) will continue to be administered by United Concordia. Met-
Life is looking forward to the opportunity to provide quality dental coverage and oral health educational pro-
grams to the more than 2 million TDP beneficiaries, which include the family members of all active duty uni-
