RE: https://mstdn.ca/@Paulatics/116295875711029533

I am so proud @Paulatics is part of my government!! Thank you for talking about this huge issue! This is such an excellent speech, and I hope this makes some sort of difference (as I'm pulling my hair out trying to help write responses to Reflect Orbital's horrifying FCC proposal for space mirrors)

Also, this speech means that I'm officially recognized by the Canadian Senate as a goat farmer and orbital dynamics expert. That's right up there with having an asteroid named after me!

Since the NextCloud Office maintainers have not taken into account the arguments against their decision to use Microsoft OOXML as the default format, I submitted a pull request with code that sets OpenDocument as the default format:
https://github.com/nextcloud/richdocuments/pull/5516
I strongly encourage you to retweet, upvote, and comment on this PR, which will be harder to ignore than a “resolved” issue.

Edit: The maintainer (who is clearly terrible at managing comm) has closed the PR and directed people to the issue, which remains open for votes and comments↴

@bagder "The SMB protocol has weak security and is rarely used these days" in PR 21079?

I though most NASes use the SMB protocol. Am I missing something?

Show threadSamantaz Fox3d ago
@bagder Oh, completely, okay! Why though? Too much work required for too little use? Or "better" tooling already exists and you want to incentivize people to use that instead?
Show threadSamantaz Fox3d ago
@bagder If I understand that correctly, you want to remove the curl implementation of SMB/NTLM and only rely on external libraries in the future, right?

The open source vulnerability scanner trivy has experienced a *second* security incident: a compromised release (v0.69.4) was published to the trivy repository.

Trivy Compromised a Second Time - Malicious v0.69.4 Release, aquasecurity/setup-trivy, aquasecurity/trivy-action GitHub Actions Compromised - StepSecurity

On March 19, 2026, trivy — a widely used open source vulnerability scanner maintained by Aqua Security — experienced a second security incident. Three weeks after the hackerbot-claw incident on February 28 that resulted in a repository takeover, a new compromised release (v0.69.4) was published to the trivy repository. The original incident disclosure discussion (#10265) was also deleted during this period, and version tags on the aquasecurity/setup-trivy GitHub Action were removed. Trivy maintainers deleted the v0.69.4 tag and Homebrew downgraded to v0.69.3. The following is a factual account of what we observed through public GitHub data.
