I guess it’s a good thing that the genocide in Ukraine has devalued your currency so much that 800,000 rubles isn’t actually that much money.

> By the ruling of the magistrate of judicial district No. 422 of the Tagansky district of Moscow, companies Threema GmbH and Pagebites Inc have been fined 1 million rubles each, and Gultsch & Weiss GbR has been fined 800 thousand rubles.

«Любой, кто думает, что Путин остановится после территориальных уступок, просто глуп» — Байден дал (theins.ru/news/281137) Би-би-си первое интервью после отставки
Экс-президент США Джо Байден дал первое интервью с тех пор, как в январе покинул Белый дом. В беседе с Би-би-си он сравнил попытки администрации Трампа заставить Киев пойти на территориальные уступки с политикой «умиротворения», которую правительство Великобритании в 1930-х годах вело по отношению к Гитлеру.
По словам Байдена, Владимир Путин считает всю Украину частью России, так что «любой, кто думает, что он остановится», если получит часть территории в рамках мирного соглашения, «просто глуп».
«Я просто не понимаю, почему люди думают, что если мы позволим диктатору, бандиту, думать, что он может забрать значительные участки земли, которые ему не принадлежат, то это его удовлетворит», — добавил политик.
Экс-президент рассказал также, что обеспокоен состоянием отношений между США и Европой и что разрушение этих отношений «изменит современную историю мира».

The Register gets the amount completely wrong, as we have paid over 86,000 USD in bug-bounties since 2019.

It's just not that visible on #curl's hackerone page since the payouts are manged by the Internet Bug Bounty since several years.

Update: I sent them a correction and they already updated the article!

This is a gruelling summary of all the things wrong with OpenSSL haproxy.com/blog/state-of-ssl-… I've mostly watched this whole thing from the sidelines, but was also affected noting that private key parsing suddenly became 70 times slower. I think they've now improved it to "only" be 10-20 times slower, and there does not seem any effort to work on it any more.

New research shows glitter that makes its way into the sea is actively disrupting a crystal-forming process known as biomineralisation, which affects how marine life such as sea urchins, corals and oysters form their shells and skeletons. This mineral formation also contributes to how the ocean helps regulate Earth’s climate by moving carbon through the planet. So the consequences could be far from pretty.

How did I vote in the federal election on the weekend? The simple answer? I didn't. Why? Because blind people in Australia still can't vote without a middle man. someone between us and our ballots, filling them in for us.

🗳️ Blind and vision impaired Australians still can’t vote independently — and that’s not just unfair, it’s undemocratic.
We deserve to vote privately, safely, and with dignity.
It’s time for real, accessible options — braille ballots, secure phone voting, equal rights.
✍️ I started a petition to demand change.
Please sign it. Share it. Help us be heard.

Not performance but security related; here's a CVE from 2019 that remains unfixed. OpenSSL finally acked it in 2024 as "feature request", with no plans to fix: github.com/openssl/openssl/iss… It affects Windows. Forks fixed it throughout the years.

This is a long time problem, and opening a new Issue to give it some visibility and place to discuss. OpenSSL loads its config (openssl.cnf) from a disk location baked into the binary at build time...

@graphicore @halla @celesteh @federicomena @doctormo More practically and usefully: Why put yourself in the situation of “picking a side” on a clearly controversial issue, where multiple orgs have seen enough to officially cut ties, when there are surely many other people who could enjoy a spotlight and benefit the actual topic - without the risk? Why choose to do this? Pragmatically, does the move make sense?

standing up to bullies and against the injustice they promote through violence nearly always makes sense. that they choose violence to force others to join their character assassination campaigns is already a red flag that you don't wish to be on their side. that they demand swift submission, to deny people a chance to look into the facts, is more evidence that their violent tactics are not means to promote justice. now, of course, being a victim of their violence says nothing about you or anything who stood on their path is innocent; only looking into the facts can accomplish that. which is why they have to stop you so forcefully from seeking facts, isolating their victim and anyone else who defies their violence. it's really ugly, and it takes courage to stand up to them. but for anyone who cares about justice and against censorship and violence, standing up to them is the only move that makes any sense

(there are also plenty people tied up in false beliefs about the victims, induced by violence; whether they're mere victims of falsehoods or accomplices to the campaign of violence hinges on how they respond when called out for the violence they're participating in)

So I was browsing the Internet today, and so I found some weird script someone made for Linux which takes a screenshot and describes it with Gemini. As usual, read the script before running it and all that, I obviously wasn't the one who created it because I don't code, so I cannot answer any questions about it or make new features or anything like that. But yeah I mean it's also AI, so don't use it, and Linux will obviously be filled with slop because of this awful person who added A11yAI to Linux, but yeah here it is:

I just discovered the amazing Evertop project by @cobble2stone @ericjenott! Evertop is a portable PC that emulates an IBM XT with an 80186 processor and 1MB RAM, running DOS, Minix, and other old 1980s operating systems, including Windows up to version 3.0. Powered by a low-power microcontroller and an e-ink display, it can run for hundreds or even thousands of hours on a single charge, thanks to its built-in solar panel and extreme power-saving measures. It's loaded with built-in peripherals like a keyboard, PS/2 ports, graphics support, audio output, serial ports, USB, Ethernet, WiFi, and LoRA radio. Charging options include a solar panel, DC input, and micro USB. It features a detachable keyboard, optional hibernate, and power shutoff. Storage is via SD card, and it's powered by an Espressif ESP32 microcontroller. Compatibility includes almost all IBM PC/XT compatible DOS software from the 1980s and early 90s. There's also a minimal version, "Evertop Min," which reduces weight and cost by removing some features. I'd love to see a model with a Raspberry Pi Zero for more productivity-focused tasks. Let's see if someone is already working on something similar! #Evertop #RetroComputing #PortablePC #OpenSource #DIY #TechInnovation #Emulation #OffGridComputing #ESP32 #RaspberryPi #Minimalism #Productivity #EInk #solar #solarpanel #Typewriter
The image shows the Evertop, a portable retro PC featuring an E Ink display and hundreds of hours of battery life. It is a small electronic device equipped with a solar panel and a keyboard. The device is predominantly white with a black keyboard. The keyboard has a standard QWERTY layout with black keys and white lettering. Above the keyboard, there is an E Ink display showing a menu with text, and a digital display showing "8888." To the left of the screen, there are several buttons, including a numeric keypad and function keys. The solar panel, which also serves as the back-plate, is positioned above the device and is connected by a cable, suggesting it powers the device. The background is a plain, light-colored surface.

It’s alive! Welcome to the new Planet GNOME!

A few months ago, I announced that I was working on a new implementation of Planet GNOME, powered by GitLab Pages. This work has reached a point where we’re ready to flip the switch and replace the old Planet website.

You can check it out at planet.gnome.org

This was only possible thanks to various other contributors, such as Jakub Steiner, who did a fantastic job with the design and style, and Alexandre Franke, who helped with various papercuts, ideas, and improvements.

As with any software, there might be regressions and issues. It would be a great help if you report any problems you find at gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Website…

Here’s to blogs, RSS feeds, and the open web!

feborg.es/new-planet-gnome/


Issues · Teams / Websites / planet.gnome.org · GitLab

[WIP] This is an implementation of Planet that uses a static website/feed generator and publishes as GitLab Pages Publishing address https://teams.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/websites/planet.gnome.org...

Some GNOME websites are getting modernized and simplified, but Planet GNOME has fallen behind. Not anymore. I started a prototype for a Python script to publish Planet GNOME with GitLab Pages/CI.

As Planet GNOME Editor, I am often asked to look for blog and syndication issues I couldn’t really address due to limited server-side access. With this, debugging indexing issues should be easier as it is just about looking at the CI job output.

Also, the Planet website is perceived as messy and outdated. So this work allowed Jakub Steiner to quickly jump in and restyle the page from a clean state.

Try it live at felipeborges.pages.gitlab.gnom… and let me know what you think. Keep in mind this is a proof of concept. Tips, feedback, and contributions are welcome in the project repo.

This still doesn’t produce the global Planet rss feed, just the webpage, but that’s in my TODO list too.

P.S.: I know feed readers/parsers can over-request rss/atom feeds. So I plan to cache data and use metadata to avoid redundant downloads before this is even considered as a replacement for the current Planet implementation. No worries. 😉
