Explore the Top Secure Linux Distros for Privacy & Security in 2025

Privacy and security have never been more important—or more under threat. With headlines constantly reporting data breaches, hacks, and the unchecked collection of sensitive personal information, it’s easy to feel like your digital life is always at …

Chci se vám oběma omluvit. Včera jsem to přehnal s konzumací jistých, pro mládež nevhodných, látek a ve finále jsem vás označil za kokoty, včetně mě samého (byť ve vtipu, ale to nelze snadno poznat v textovém dialogu), a odsoudil jsem vás dle vašich počítačových preferencí. (MacOS je pořád přeci jen FreeBSD, byť značně vykastrované.)

Jakožto potomek umělecké rodiny v surrealismu mne svádí experimentovat s nepředvídatelností internetových interakcí - nicméně nejsem zastáncem vulgarit a agresivity.

Nerad bych, abyste vnímali mou prezenci v tomto svobodném internetovém prostoru jako parazitní. Mou prací je generovat tkzv. engagement, neboť jsem primárním vzděláním tvůrcem digitálního obsahu. A pokud se pohybujete v kyberprostoru alespoň pár posledních let, víte, že umělec je odpadem společnosti - a to je přeci jen břemeno, se kterým není jednoduché přežívat.

Abyste mi oba věřili, že naše včerejší interakce byla skutečně jen hrou, přikládám obrázek, který vás snad přesvědčí, že svou omluvu myslím vážně.

Pilar Alegría renuncia a la utilización de Google Classroom en sus colegios para proteger la #privacidad de los #datos de los menores, 26/12/2024:

"El Ministerio de Educación ha renunciado a utilizar las herramientas escolares de Google en los #colegios de Ceuta y Melilla, territorios donde tiene competencias educativas, después de que la AEPD se lo desaconsejara por apreciar evidentes riesgos para los menores y una recogida invasiva de información personal..."

Thanks so much for posting this! It was a stroll down memory lane for me because I ate a few of these things in the 70s when I was a kid. Swanson Salisbury steak TV dinners were my favorite. I ate lots of Oscar Mayer bologna sandwiches squished between two slices of white Wonder bread when I was a kid, as well. I didn't eat too many of the other things. I did amuse myself at the end of this article by singing the Oscar Mayer baloney song. I remembered all the words! That's sad!

Tak jsem zveřejnil první testovací video na #vhsky je to spíš takový test jestli to jde na mobilu natočit a sestříhat. Takže pokud se chcete kouknout jak mi to moc nejde tak můžete: vhsky.cz/w/ijGYNsFQZMnu2SFvYpS…

Jinak možná povezu insta360 od známého, který to bude stříhat na pc doma (nějak vymyslíme jak mu posílat záběry). Takže by mě zajímalo jestli k jednomu kanálu může mít přístup víc účtů ať to není jen u něj na YT.

V posledních dnech převádím komunikaci s nejbližší rodinou na #Signal. ➡️ Ale donutit k přechodu větší počet lidí je problém, nikdo moc nechce další IM aplikaci a raději zůstane tam, kde většina. 😞

Bohužel v dnešní době, kdy o nás státy, nadnárodní korporace a další subjekty sbírají všemožná data, se začíná soukromí zcela vytrácet. ⚠️ Smutné je, že většině lidí je ztráta soukromí v této podobě úplně ukradená. 🤯

Signal jsem zvolil, hlavně díky jednoduchosti a nativnímu E2E šifrování. Účet si tam zvládne vytvořit a nastavit opravdu každý. signal.org/install

OK. I updated the BeSTspeech Driver to V0.26 at: eurpod.com/BestSpeak.nvda-addo….
Changes:
- added the 14 character-defined voices from @rommix0 speak program - these voices will now predefine the proper headsize, excitation, inflection, and nasality for you.
- as a result of this change, we introduced a new formula to calculate frequency to the 0-100 pitch range of NVDA and back to the ring setting, as well as one which calculates nasality from 0 to 100.
- pitch ranges should have mapped largely to their original ranges. Now nasality and inflection has greater incremental control, enjoy.

Mixxx 2.5 Stable Released

As is our Christmas tradition, we have a present under the tree for everyone (even if you don't have a tree!) The biggest change is that #Mixxx is now built for QT6 instead of QT5. While this means leaving certain older operating systems behind, supporting QT6 is an important step in keeping Mixxx relevant on newer operating systems.

We also have a bunch of updates to controller configs.

Check out the full release notes in our blog post:

Toby Doom Accessibility Mod Version 8.0 Released

Here is the release video for Toby Doom 8.0. You can grab the full version with everything included, or visit the Toby Doom topic on the ZDoom forum to download the components individually.

This version includes support for Hexen. Although there is an open source Hexen iwad, I was unable to get it working. You can get Hexen from Steam and just place the Hexen iwad in the Toby Doom folder.

For questions and discussion, there is this topic on the audiogames.net forum. Happy Dooming! Rip and tear until it is done! 🤘

20 years of celebrations 🎉

In 2004, our European family grew as Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia joined the EU.

This historic moment marked the start of a new chapter—one defined by unity, growth, and shared prosperity across our Union.

Hoy hoy, just messed around and deployed this:

masto-fe.superseriousbusiness.…

based on the Iceshrimp standalone Masto frontend

You can log in to your #GoToSocial instance and use it like Mastodon :) All data is stored in the browser and on your own computer, masto-fe.superseriousbusiness.org doesn't store anything at all. It's like pinafore or semaphore in that regard.

I'll mess around with it more on and off as a hobby project, see if it can be customized + themed to feel a bit more like GoToSocial.

Thanks for trying it out!

Round two in our fun game: "slop or not?"

(In here, the report is a rewrite of our previous published CVE in a way that I strongly suspect was done by an AI.)

Kind of a side-topic, and not related to curl, but this gave me a terrifying idea.

What if malicious actors submit vulnerability reports to make FOSS maintainers' lives harder, just to give themselves more time to exploit actual 0-days?

The xz utils incident was careful and long-term, but if someone does find a vulnerability and they're malicious, presumably they'll want to keep it unaddressed for as long as possible.

What better way to do that than distract everyone they can with AI-generated BS? Even if it buys them 30 minutes or an hour, that's time during which they could do damage.

Gives me the creeps.

#38c3 is starting .... Infos about some scheduled delta sessions and a group invite for further maybe more spontaneous things at delta.chat/38c3
Please repost a bit ....and we'll see to write up some impressions and discussions afterwards in turn ... Our plans and roadmaps still have some fluidity and congress will likely modify 2025 intentions further :)
