If you have time to dance the Hokey Pokey, you have time to get your security clearance.

Let me know when Global News, CTV, CBC, etc., AKA Canada's legacy, covers Pierre Poilievre's LACK of security clearance.

"Nearly 70% of those laid off in the 2022 tech layoffs were women."

Since there's only 21% women in tech, I can't see how this is anything other than discrimination.

wired.com/story/tyranny-tech-b…

Job termination rates also show discrimination against BIPOC, queer, and disabled people.

The 2022 tech layoffs were 70% women. BIPOC, queer, and disabled workers were also terminated at higher rates.

While we can't prevent corporate layoffs, we can ensure the future of the free and open source community is more diverse and inclusive. Outreachy and Conservancy are vital to that future.

@outreachy connects people who face discrimination and systemic bias to internships in free and open source software. @conservancy staff and contractors run Outreachy.

Outreachy corporate sponsorships and grants have been drastically reduced since 2022. This means Outreachy can't offer as many internships to people who face discrimination and systemic bias in tech. Outreachy's normal 60 to 70 intern cohorts have been reduced to 25 to 35 interns.

Please consider donating to the Conservancy fundraiser, in support of Outreachy and the diverse and inclusive future FOSS needs:

@fireborn @miki My actual gripe is stealing the existing shortcut when they've already got one, as alt+space needs to be used by things already. Maybe they're just trying to unify things, but in that case the keystroke for the system menu needs to be rebound and that's gonna break all the muscle memory. The system menu is necessary, apps can add their own shit there it isn't always the default actions which can be accomplished with other shortcuts.

My bank uses phone SMS as its standard "2-factor authentication" -- better than nothing at all but GROSSLY insecure compared to encrypted messaging that it refuses to supply.

I paid extra for an RSA dongle, but when I log in there's an option to use SMS, which makes the dongle completely pointless.

Crap security is standard in the banking industry -- because contrary to pious words, it doesn't give a damn about your financial privacy.

An interesting element of Marconi research is examining Welsh language newspapers of the early 20th century.

This Welsh article of April 1914 from 'Y Llan', reveals the developing terminology.

A 'wireless' in English was in Welsh termed a 'pellebyr digyfrwng' (loosely, a ' medium-less far sender'), with an added clarifying term of 'diwifr' (without wires).

Wait. Copilot will be taking over alt+space on Windows? That is not okay. How will we access the system menu that has existed since forever containing minimise, maximise, etc.? Also, wtf aren't they just using Windows+c or the Copilot key they forced upon us? theverge.com/2024/12/10/243182…

Issue filed with a reduced replication test!

github.com/curl/curl/issues/15…

While developing that test I discovered an interesting factor: the bug seems to only be triggered in combination with the `--netrc-optional` option, notwithstanding whether that option is passed directly on the command line or whether it appears in `~/.curlrc`.

I wish I could have strace'd into exactly what's happening at file parse time. Hopefully this is useful enough!


curl CLI v8.11.1 fails to offer HTTP Basic auth specified in .netrc when invoked with --netrc-optional · Issue #15767 · curl/curl

I did this Given an executable test script with the following contents named test-curl which will ruthlessly shove aside any existing ~/.netrc file..: #!/usr/bin/env bash if ((BASH_VERSINFO < 4)); ...

#curl 8.11.1 has been released. It includes a fix to #CVE_2024_11053 - a #vulnerability I discovered.

It is a logic flaw in the way curl parses .netrc file. In certain situations, the configured password can be sent to a incorrect host. Luckily the affected configurations should be quite rare and thus the situation is unlikely to occur often.

The issue has existed in the curl source code for almost twenty-five years.

No AI tools were used in discovering or reporting the vulnerability.
