Feels god no longer to be slaving for propertarian OS, that Ubuntu have turned into, withheld update for ransom. This gives the meaning of #ransomeware a new twist of meaning.

Yes, this gives me back a good feeling in my stomachs, knowing I'm back on FOSS OS form
#Debian, even tho a lot of package are outdated and need personal actions to get up to date, such as the unbound v1.17 with a lot of security issues which isn't addressed and fixed until version 1.20, but that one is still held in the testing (former SID) repo, rather than getting it released.

And this makes me wondering on how they determine which Alpha releases should be force down to the stable repo, such as wayland, that can't recover
displey:0 from the sleep state, unless you reboot the system, while stable releases like unbound are withheld. This would make the first time experience of Debian as a buggy and not properly maintained distro, making people running away screaming, only to never come back. Yes, it took me a couple of days to notice the dropdown on the #SDDM login screen, allowing me to switch back to good old stable #x11 window system.

Please Debian-devs, set X11 as default windows engine and leave waylands to the experimental group running on the testing releases. The rest of us have chosen Debian for stability not a endless counts of total brake downs, while actually doing literally nothing...

IF you are using Debian stable, please share your stories.

This said, I've become rather firmly determined that no more packages/apps/programs that gets in touch with the walled Garden/big5/BigTech surveillance network, will be installed on my network anymore, this includes and is not limited to Element (Chat client) using matrix.org network as primary network, this in running over cloudflare.

A few exception would be vsCode and my sponsored IDE's from jetbrains's opensource license.

Have a nice wet/sunny summer depending on your current location... (Can see it looks a tad moist somewhere this summer

It's hard to tell from this photo, but most of that is several cm (inch or 2) standing water. I don't think we got the full amount forecasted. Prior storm water was coming out so hard it carved a channel in the soil over 15 cm (6 inches) deep and 30 cm (12 inches) long. (📎1)

「研究者が #CatDDoS #ボットネット#DNSBomb#DDoS 攻撃 手法について警告 」: The Hacker News

「CatDDoS マルウェア ボットネットの背後にいる攻撃者は、過去 3 か月間でさまざまなソフトウェアの 80 を超える既知のセキュリティ上の欠陥を悪用して、脆弱なデバイスに侵入し、分散型サービス拒否 (DDoS) 攻撃を実行するボットネットに組み込んできました。
DNSBomb は、広く実装されている複数の DNS メカニズムを利用して、低速で送信される DNS クエリを蓄積し、クエリを大きなサイズの応答に #増幅 し、すべての DNS 応答を短時間で大量の周期的な #パルス バースト に集中させて、ターゲット システムを同時に圧倒します。 」
