this is going to be an amazing summer with the official Risc-V support on Debian. I plan on building a machine with Tenstorrent's Ascalon CPUs. With Jim Keller claiming its in the ballpark of Zen 5 performance, it would be a mighty jump for the architecture, heck even if they land around Zen 4 it would be impressive for the Risc-V ecosystem. Thank you debian team for the work you do

how exactly is reproducability protecting against "supply chain attacks"? if as a maintainer or dev backdoor a dependency of some upstream package and then a new backdoored source code version is released, in this case reproducable builds will only make sure that my backdoor is reproducably built, but it will not mitigate my backdoor.

i think my scenario is *the* definition of a supply chain attack. no? would your reproducible build have caught jia tan? what am i missing? 🧵 1/4

Natalie Portman rejete le Prix Genèse d'Israël, doté d'un million de dollars, pour le massacre de Palestiniens non armés. L'organisation du Prix a donc annulé la cérémonie prévue. En réponse à ce refus, le parlement israélien, a demandé la révocation de sa citoyenneté. Natalie Portman est née en Israël et a quitté le pays encore enfant.
« Je ne vais pas au Prix Genesis parce que je ne veux pas apparaître comme un soutien à Benjamin Netanyahu. Israël a été créé il y a 70 ans comme refuge pour les victimes de l'Holocauste, mais les mauvais traitements envers ceux qui subissent les atrocités d'aujourd'hui ne correspondent pas à mes valeurs juives.
