"I recently found a bug in Snap, a package manager for Ubuntu and other Linux distributions, which allows the snap to escape the sandbox and run arbitrary code (as the user) if the home permission is set. This exploit could be run on a vanilla install of Ubuntu and was patched in commit aa191f9 on 13th March 2024."

You may have heard me talk about my Wyse 5070 "thin client" server on @linuxmatters
I installed it using Ubuntu 23.10, which is just about to go out of support, so I upgraded to 24.04 LTS. Took about 20 minutes, no drama.

hey, so heads up:
that Win11 v24H2 "Enterprise G" ISO that's been the hot news lately is a complete flat-out lie based on files sourced from Windows Update servers, mashed together to form a poorly-made hackjob which also uses binaries from Windows 10 Pro v2004. to put simply:
- ISO volume name and creation date are bogus; wrong tools used to generate image (imapi2 instead of oscdimg/cdimage) - final resulting OS image was produced a week ago on 27th June 2024 at 04:09:00 AM (UTC), ISO generated at roughly 04:25 AM
- OS image is directly based off of the v24H2 RTM build's Pro source packages - WIM creation times match 1:1 with metadata ESDs from WU
- the "Enterprise G" edition manifest's code signing catalog is actually borrowed from win10 v2004's professional edition; catalog signed on 7th December 2019 (same time as VB_RELEASE 19041.1); the conversion from Pro to "Enterprise G" using these hacked-together files took two minutes, tops
- author tried to deliberately hide their tracks by removing any and all logs from the CBS logs directory
- it's partially set up to auto-activate using massgrave KMS38 and remove edge after installation (the Edge removal thing is not present though)
- guy who made the ISO also directly modified the media to swap out the setup background image from purple to pitch black to poorly "replicate" a problem present in official MS media for Win11 v24H2
the real Enterprise G is actually published by CMIT (joint venture between MS and CETC in China), meant for China government employees - first introduced in May 2017. the last release the venture made was based on Windows 10 v21H2 CU build 19044.1345, released on 28th January 2022.

I understand there's a lot of pearl clutching going on here, but we do know the Messages app also stores your chats and contacts in human-readable text (in a sqlite db), right? And that any app can just go read it?

Ugh, Mastodon’s rolling out a new meta tag for verifying links.
Now we can do:
- reciprocal links
- IndieWeb h-cards (can work with reciprocal links)
- Semantic Web markup that maps to v-cards (can work with reciprocal links)
- Ariadne proofs (Keyoxide) (works with many different account providers)
- Fediverse-link-preview-specific identity verification but only for accounts approved by your instance admin.
Can we please stop re-inventing webpage author verification with platform-specific metadata? We’ve got Twitter-specific, Facebook-specific, etc. markup for webpage verification and now we’ve got Fedi-specific verification.
make it stop
Servers already cache long lists of Fediverse domains and verified profile links. Going through a page’s rel-me links for link previews as well as profile links should be doable.
Relatedly, the Fediverse small-DDoS problem still needs solving and this just makes it more obvious. Including link previews in the post and verifying them after a much longer random delay (measured in minutes), first checking for previews from a list of preview-generating servers, would address most issues.

Just after I post about fire risk increasing in northern Alberta & the NWT, I go to rest a bit in the other room, that has the window open, & notice a distinct smell of smoke. 😣
It looks like the worst of the smoke is going to pass north & east of Edmonton over the next few days (see forecast), but those forecasts are notoriously unreliable so I guess I'm back to checking AQ any time I go out or open a window.
Bad air just when it gets hot out. Great.

Booting Linux off of Google Drive
On the brink of insanity, my tattered mind unable to comprehend the twisted interplay of millennia of arcane programmer-time and the ragged screech of madness, I reached into the Mass and steeled myself to the ground lest I be pulled in, and found my magnum opus.
Booting Linux off of a Google Drive root.

NEW: Hackers say they stole 33 million cell phone numbers of users of two-factor app Authy.
Twilio (owner of Authy) confirmed that "threat actors were able to identify" phone numbers, but didn't say how many.
While having a list of phone numbers on its own may seem like not a big deal, the risk is that now hackers can better tailor phishing attacks against Authy users.
