linux-headers-generic jq libssh-4 libpython3.8-minimal git-man libsystemd0
linux-image-generic libsqlite3-0 python3-urllib3 libjq1 sudo libpython3.8
python3.8 git udev python3-requests libudev1 libsoup2.4-1 python3.8-minimal
systemd-sysv libpam-systemd systemd libnss-systemd libpython3.8-stdlib
linux-generic

@ltning basically once the next LTS release is out they start charging you for access to a repo that keeps publishing package security updates

That's my understanding of it anyway

FreeBSD ports tree does break compatibility with old releases when needed, but it doesn't really happen all that often and if you really needed to it's trivial to backport the updates yourself to your branch of the ports tree and get working, updated packages.

Also upgrading between major releases is significantly less disruptive anyway, soooo.... it's not hard to upgrade

We’ve now published the details of the security issues which we addressed in Monday’s coordinated security release of Matrix: read all about Project Hydra at matrix.org/blog/2025/08/projec… and please upgrade your servers and rooms where applicable.

@element any idea of the timeline of the release of the compatible version of element-x in fdroid ? I can see in the metadata the work is done gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-… but no build available. Any plans of pushing to an other repo like Izzy @IzzyOnDroid or your own repos like @guardianproject ?

New from 404 Media: ICE added a random person to group chat, exposed highly sensitive details about an active manhunt in real-time. The person says they were added weeks ago, thought they were scam texts until start seeing data lookups etc. Incredible security failure 404media.co/ice-adds-random-pe…

⚠️ Important headsup if you are on the server mastodon.cloud:

Mastodon.cloud no longer seems to be moderated. Its admin account hasn't posted since Feb 2023, its code of conduct is blank and there are vile racists posting from there. The racists have been reported many times but their accounts are still active.

Because of this, other server admins are starting to block mastodon.cloud completely.

If you're on mastodon.cloud you might want to move to another server ASAP: fedi.tips/transferring-your-ma…

There is a new short domain name for #PuTTY!

putty.software/

At present, this is just a "landing page": a nice short name to remember, which will redirect you to the full PuTTY website at the same longer URL where it's always been.

But unlike putty.org or other third-party landing pages, this one is run by us, the actual PuTTY team, and it doesn't have a weird separate agenda of its own.

I intend to move the main PuTTY site over to that domain in the future, and leave just a redirector at the old location. But first I want to get the word out, so that people know which site to trust.

If anyone is still linking to putty.org, here's a place to link to instead. Please spread the word!
