Ubuntu, the most popular Linux distribution, has pulled its Desktop release 23.10 after its Ukrainian translations were discovered to contain hate speech. According to the Ubuntu project, a malicious contributor is behind anti-Semitic, homophobic, and xenophobic slurs that were injected into the distro via a "third party tool."

Hey @helpers or any helpful #Friendica users. I'm trying to understand the difference between Categories and Hashtags.
From what I'm seeing, categories never leave the server, but hashtags do get federated out. They kind of look the same in the timeline, with hashtags having a lightning bolt, and categories being green with "X's" that allow you to remove them.
So why choose one over the other? Or why combine them?
Thanks!

Fun yak shaving stack unwinded: needed to push my cap-std PR from the VM I have on an external drive ← needed to fsck the drive since it was refusing to mount ← needed to package exfat tools in @chimera_linux ← needed to patch some signed overflows out because we use UBSan to catch them by default.
Oh and the whole excursion into gcr-ssh-agent yesterday, also with undefined behavior involved—as it turns out, known issue but patch not landed—was also motivated by having to do that push. Because I needed some GUI agent to be able to use the agent-forwarded FIDO2 ssh key. Kinda have that working with a janky (for now) gcr patch, but there's a simpler way too…

It's not, I just vented my frustration with browsers removing HTTP/1.1. We already mailed about it. It's relevant only if one believes in this quote:
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
This is the wrong context for that though, I'm sorry to bring this up here, but unfortunately this is the most important censorship that happened to humanity so far.

Daniel's weekly report October 13, 2023
CVE, contributors, CNA, sustain, c-ares, next level, video

This week many engineering teams are looking for the immensely popular open source library 'curl' in order to get ahead of the CVE-2023-38545 vulnerability. Most of them are NOT going to see it in their SBOM even though they use it.
In this article I walk through why this is, places it might be hiding and questions to ask that can help uncover your use of it.

Okay, big news for everyone with a WordPress blog, including people with a free blog on wordpress.com!
You can now turn *any* WordPress blog into a Fediverse server which can be followed from Mastodon etc.
I've updated the instructions on how to do this at:
➡️ fedi.tips/wordpress-turning-yo…
Just to repeat, this is now available to ALL WordPress blogs including free tier ones. The free tier has slightly different instructions, but effect is same.
