4 out of 4 weekend HackerOne reports on #curl were closed as not applicable
They're all disclosed
i want to report a critical vulnerability: curl executes arbitrary code with LD_PRELOAD=evil.so
where are my 9.2k$ alright?
if i were you, i'd just stop this h1 madness…
The thing is, whenever @linuxfoundation takes up a position like this, people need a gentile reminder of whose interests the foundation represents:
linuxfoundation.org/about/memb…
Linux Foundation members help support the development of shared technology resources while accelerating their own innovation through open source.www.linuxfoundation.org
So, what you’re saying is that we should not have laws that protect normal people from having their data farmed in ways that would make even the stasi blush?
It’s funny in a very sad way that something called the Linux foundation is having this extremely corporate boot licking message, considering that a good share of Linux desktop users are that to get away from the corporate spying.
How many times can you report that file:// URLs to #curl can read files?

What we're reading:
"Asked to generate intervention plans for struggling students, AI teacher assistants recommended more punitive measures for hypothetical students with Black-coded names and more supportive approaches for students the platforms perceived as white, a new study shows."
We know that educators are bombarded with (VC-funded) hype about AI tools as magical solutions. Please don't take these claims at face value and do your own due diligence. 1/4

A Common Sense Media study found AI teacher assistants generated more-punitive recommendations for students with Black-coded names compared with those with white-coded names.Norah Rami (Chalkbeat)

First steps in the BSD world!
1) OpenBSD on VPS (Amsterdam)
2) FreeBSD on Raspberry Pi 4 (home)
I'm running a Wireguard connection between the two.
Next step is setting up relayd on the VPS to point at services on the Raspberry Pi server.
yes, so with the simple method of getting your VPS provider to assign additional static IPs to your VPS and Proxy ARP, you can "teleport" the static IP to your home over the WireGuard tunnel. The IP is not actually assigned to any interfaces on the VPS and you get to avoid NAT, needing X-Forwarded-For, etc. All your server logs will have the real public IPs 🤠
Plus you can leverage the VPS provider's DDoS protection 😎 (you also gain that with NAT or reverse proxying, but it's another good reason to not use your home ISP's public IP directly)
Another advantage of either design is that you could have multiple internet connections at home for redundancy. The WireGuard tunnel is perfect for this. I do this with a hotspot that has unlimited data. I'll be moving next week and changing ISPs but none of my network configuration for my servers needs to change. I'll keep the same IPs because they're ~in the cloud~ 🙃
At #Zürich #Zurich airport #ZRH apparently they require a boarding pass OR your passport just to connect to the so called "free WiFi".
Passport data just to use a #WiFi? What is next? ID check to post something on Instagram?
Come on, a WiFi is a commodity like a power socket.
The whole useless infrastructure with those kiosks, connection to boarding pass validators and the printer to print out vouchers - and this in 2025.

many EU countries require authentication for "public" wifi.
Similarly many require ID to obtain a SIM card. Germany and France for the one I experienced. Burner phones (SIM) are literally illegal.
They might have GDPR, but they surely have more strings attached.

I got to talk to a packed room of normal (non technical people) at the local library about how important it is to upcycle computers, and how Linux can save the world in this respect.
Thanks to all the people who showed up, supported, donated laptops and listened. We even gave away 9 free laptops at the event.
Library said it was the most well attended event they've had! So will be many more of these in the future. :)

I read every word of the Gabbard Files so you don’t have to. The arguments — when compared to the evidence, timelines, 3 prior investigations, and 3 prior meta-investigations — indicate either breathtakingly bad faith or astonishingly low reading comprehension. You decide.

Detroit front yard food pantry overwhelmed with donations after community learns of need
What an amazing woman to provide this space in her front yard like that in the first place.
It sucks that there's even this deep need in the first place, but it's heartening to see how people can come together.

the 2nd hand market for DS games is thriving. Pokémon games, especially, hold their value. We got the eldest kiddo a DS to play GBA and DS era Pokémon games. They are baffled by how much more effort GBA Pokémon games take.
What do you mean only the Pokémon involved in the battle get xp?

This sounds like a question for @hackerboards
(Their website is a database about single-board computers, although from a quick check I couldn't find specifics on open boot processes
hackerboards.com/ )
I'm a month late but:
Rockchip RK3399 (e.g. Pine64 ROCKPro64) has zero blobs. As in, both DDR init and ATF are open (former in mainline u-boot, latter in mainline ATF).
RK3588 (e.g. Radxa ROCK 5B+) has open mainline ATF, but closed DDR init (runs once at boot) at the moment.
K3576 (e.g. Radxa ROCK 4D) also has open mainline ATF, but closed DDR init.
RK3566 *does* have something in ATF but I've heard it has problems. Closed DDR init as well though.
Yesterday was #DebianDay , celebrating the release of #Debian #Trixie !
So far, I have updated: 9 physical machines (including 7 Raspberry Pis running #Debian, not Raspbian), 23 Docker containers running full Debian including cron, systemd, and the usual services (thanks to my salsa.debian.org/jgoerzen/dock… ), and one other VM, for a total of 33 installations upgraded.
Yet to be done: 3 servers in the cloud, 3 laptops, and a Raspberry Pi 400 that's my daughter's computer.

New #GNOME app release! Just a tiny one, based on the idea from a few weeks ago ( mastodon.social/@pojntfx/11491… ). A nice skeumorphic Pomodoro timer, except you get to set the session and pause durations yourself (which happens to be the way I use my physical Pomodoro timer).

Attached: 1 image Would anyone be interested in a "skeumorphic" Pomodoro timer for GNOME? I have one of those nice physical analog Pomodoro timers and I kind of wish an app version would emulate it (pause button on the top, drag to set your time etc…Mastodon
If you're planning on using these as serious reference tools for newbies, I'd make a few changes.
Firstly, there's a great nubmer of background sounds from other open apps you have running that sometimes make it difficult to hear what you're saying.
There's a lot of background hiss under your voice, which might benefit from being toned down if possible.
Mike is quite robotic to modern audiences, so I'd recommend changing him or at least slowing him down.
In terms of this specific recording, writing to the root of the c drive isn't always recommended, and the fact you're doing it in a VM just adds tremendous confusion to anyone learning about these things, and your repeated references to bad crashes don't really enspire confidence adnd talking about your USB's from before only mean something if you're a regular listener.
And it's generally bad practice to show something that doesnt work. Like, if you tick the box to keep your config and for whatever reason that didn't work, you probably don't want to show that as typical behaviour.
The repeated shitting isn't overly professional, either.
I bring these up not to complain, but to query the future. If you're doing it for your regular audience who're already familiar with what you're doing, that's fine.
If you're making something for people wanting to learn something new, you might want to adjust your approach slightly.
