Security Patches

InfoSec

Regardless of which Operating System you run, it is important to keep up with the critical updates to keep your machines as safe as possible

• Realize that by the time a critical bug has been reported, verified, patched and delivered to your distribution of choice, a significant amount of time has passed...
• From the first day the bug has been discovered [zero day] to the day you patch your computing machine, you've had a vunurable open machine in that one respect.
• Keep the amount of time between the availability, of patches & the update of your machines, especially your VMs (Qemu et al) & physical servers as short as possible
• Make sure to always use manual updates on your server VM's!
• I shall not explain why, start reading on Wikipedia and furthe, the explanation is too long for this short post

Notes:

• every OS can have vunurabilities
• Security in obscurity does not work!
• you are not secure because you run obsolete AmigaOS QNX or cool and niche *BSD as an OS
• buffer overflows hide everywhere
• I reguraly find them!

Wow... Blackberry really hit a vein with the #qnx developer desktop. Trying to read the docs and mostly getting 429 "Too Many Requests".

I have QNX 8.0 on my rpi4 and it's definitely cool and fun. I'm really interested in the desktop now too.

interesting: #qnx have adopted apk as their system package manager: https://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/qnxeverywhere/com.qnx.doc.qdd/topic/using_apk.html

and they use #abuild now too: https://github.com/qnx-ports/qsc-apk/tree/main

and they even comply with the GPL license, but their patch is not mergable in the current state: https://github.com/qnx-ports/aports/blob/803/core/apk-tools/0001-qnx-compat.patch

QNX — второе дыхание в ретрогейминге Super Nintendo

Здравствуйте, уважаемые читатели! Сегодня мы еще раз вспомним об интереснейшей операционной системе QNX . На сей раз мы используем QNX в качестве игрового стенда для запуска игр от SNES посредством эмуляции. И DOOM , конечно же, будет — DOOM . А вы знали, что он портирован на SNES ? С музыкой, все дела… Приглашаю всех, кому интересна экзотическая операционная система в нецелевом использовании для ретрогейминга, для ознакомления под кат. Папуль, можно поиграть? (c)
