The other day me and @gregkh shot down a draft proposal to add a new role in the CVE ecosystem (SADP: "supplier ADP") that would append data to CVEs with details about dependencies and how they are or are not vulnerable to each particular CVE.
Imagine the amount of dependencies that use curl or the Linux kernel etc. These sweet innocent proposal makers thought in the terms of 5-10 dependencies per CVE. Not tens or hundreds of thousands which is far from unthinkable.
For your next coffee break listen : @bagder Keynote from #OpenSourceSummit hosted by The Linux Foundation is now available!
Listen to his key note now : youtube.com/watch?v=YEBBPj7pIK…
What will you gain from the keynote speech :
🔹insight into the growing challenges for Open Source maintainers, including lack of funding, questions of sustainability and AI race
🔹how can these challenges can be tackled while developing Open Source solutions

For number lovers: during the past 31 days, the #IzzyOnDroid repo saw almost 800,000 APK downloads – which roughly corresponds to 18 APKs/minute, or 1 APK every 3 seconds. And that's only from our main server, not counting the mirrors (coming soon™).
Detail lovers can head over to stats.izzyondroid.org/ and dig in 😉

The other day I sent out this tweet As it took off, got an amazing attention and I received many different comments and replies, I felt a need to elaborate a little. To add some meat to this.daniel.haxx.se
I’ve gotta be real with you, @Tutanota: I love your work and your company, but you need to add Web Key Directory compatibility.
At this point, PGP/WKD support for a privacy-focused email provider has to be as fundamental as supporting TLS. Proton does not own PGP.
I simply cannot in good conscience recommend Tuta over Proton to people generally speaking, knowing that Proton users benefit from E2EE when they email me on my self-hosted email servers, as well as when they email plenty of other providers (Posteo, Mailbox.org). And that is a shame, because trust me I would love to be able to point anywhere other than Proton when I’m asked this.
Keep your superior encryption for intra-Tuta emails, absolutely. Give it a different UI indicator so people know the difference, I don’t care. At the end of the day, not at least silently supporting in the background the only decentralized email encryption method we have is antithetical to what email is all about: interoperability.
People have been asking you about PGP for 8+ years, I know Autocrypt used to be on your roadmap and now it seemingly no longer is.
There is a clear winner now, and it’s WKD.

Contact with Europeans in the 19th century first provided the Yapese at Palau with iron tools, that made the cutting and shaping of the stones much easier. Not much later, the Yapese made deals with Europeans to use their ships to transport the stones back to Yap. These arrangements enabled the manufacture of much larger and heavier rai stones, up to 4 meters in diameter, as well of a larger number of them. However, these "modern" stones were less valuable than more ancient ones.
Even stone money suffers from inflation.
Anyone know anything about these Mokerlink switches? I'm seeing products I can't find from other vendors. Nobody's really making small 8-10 port 10gbit gear

So, if I write you a document before a meeting, you use AI to summarize that document, and then during that meeting you rely incorrect or partial information, not only you wasted everybody's time, but you also made it clear that you don't think I'm capable of relying information synthetically, moreover you're clearly stating that you're not intelligent enough to read a simple document.
Using AI makes you "look" fast and productive, but in reality it paints you as cheap and lazy
Also, with the most recent "optimized" models is estimated that to generate a small image (how small, who knows), it consumes an average of 0.25 kWh.
So if only one person generates 6 images it's the equivalent of keeping your electric heater running full power for 1hr.
Your silly memes built on stolen art are helping boiling the ocean.
But hey...now you can see what a gorilla wearing an iron man suite looks like, because your imagination is stunted.
Congrats, I guess
Sensitive content
Questioning whether or not I've overreacted as the post *is* in the Introductions subforum, I read every single introductory post on the Ubuntu Discourse made in 2025. Every one was focused on the person's technical and professional backgrounds and what skills they want to learn or tech topics they're interested in.
One guy mentioned off-hand about being busy moving around the country with his wife and kids. Another guy is 75 and mentioned in a reply to someone inquiring about his early career that women did the punch cards and men did the programming when he started. Those were the only two other semi-questionable comments if you want to really be pedantic.
Not a single mention of personal life details like this in any other post.
Read the room.
(also revealing your name and birth date like that is a bit of an opsec issue this guy should be coached on... honestly where is the mod at on this, they should really be censoring that in his post)
hey, do you folks have recommendations for an USB fingerprint reader that works reliably with Fedora (or ideas how I could get mine to work)?
Mine (a "Benss" branded Elan 04f3:0c3d) is supposed to work, but I can't get it to verify prints - Apparently fprintd really doesn't handle "tap to scan" readers well, like the one I've got.
I've tried tapping, swiping, in every direction, I'm running out of ideas
This is local Amsterdam news (in Dutch) about the library putting on a display of books banned from American schools and libraries, in little stars-and-stripes coffins. They say it’s because whatever nonsense America gets up to, the Dutch need to be ready to guard against it being pushed here a few years later. at5.nl/nieuws/234309/wat-je-in…
in anticipation of another bike trip, i've constructed porteur bag #2, refined and refreshed.
- first bag i've made with a liner! (robic nylon)
- structured like a big tote bag but with a zipper and a square footprint
- two wire gate clips to make attachment / straps experiments easier
- same ecopak material as my frame bag
- cordura on the bottom for durability
overall: an improvement, attachment to the rack is simpler and faster. could be slightly taller, and maybe all ecopak
I don't know who needs to hear this, but being disabled is not your fault. Sometimes our minds can makes us think that it is, but it simply isn't so.
Thank you to everyone who attended the World Blindness Summit & WBU General Assembly last week in São Paulo, Brazil. It was an honour for NV Access to attend, and to have NV Access General Manager, James Boreham and NV Access director Emma Bennison present. It was an informative and uplifting week and a chance to meet many new people and hear people's hopes for the future!

in reply to Hubert Figuière • • •I haven't really gotten into their whole catalog, but "Breakfast in America" is one of my favorites. "Goodbye Stranger" is a 10/10 song, and "Bloody Well Right" off "Crime of the Century" is a favorite of mine as well.
I loved singing along to that one as a kid, cause singing "bloody well right" felt like cursing, but didn't get me in trouble.
