I don't like to talk in absolutes about security, but... my headphones are 100% immune from the latest exploit, via this One Weird Trick!
Now hear me out...
I call it "eargapping". I learned about it in my Intro to Antique Coding class.
@juliank frist of all. Thank you for your work on apt.
Next, did you try to use OpenSSL 3.5 with FIPS and apt yet? Was working on that and noticed that I can't download anything when using HTTPS on the mirror.
I'm using Debian Trixie with apt 3.0.3. I've installed the FIPS provider and set it as the official document has stated. But when I tried to access the mirror, I got the following error message:
OpenSSL error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported
The endpoint wants to use SHA2, which is supported. I suspect that apt does not load the fips.so file.
I suspect that the internal of TLS would like to switch to symmetric key to be more effective. However, since it didn't load the fips.so correctly, the system fails.
I had a similar error with Python where the provided data used loaded an incorrect path.
@tinker I feel you. And I understand that the times we live in make it challenging to express anger and frustration.
And putting it in words, I do not see that we can share strong expressions of emotion without anyone feeling provoked. You either offend someone, make a factually incorrect statement, or start a culture war. Neither of them are desired nor intended, but the expression of how bad things are in your current world is just an annoyance to others.
Just as you would tell anyone who knows you in person that you're angry. But they can handle that; strangers on the internet can't. But you have been lied to; it's not a social network. It's a computer system with no other notion for the things that make us human.
Social media is not a platform for emotional language to be expressed. It's a platform to distribute information effectively through a network that allows you to engage with the information. Yet that fails to work well when the context collapses and we're left with someone who is confronted with the residue of emotions.
And that's the least of what people want. They want to have their piece of candy, the information. Enough that it makes sense to be engaged, but not to challenge them.
Yet you have all the right to be angry, fierce, and unrestrained.
PS: I didn't see your original post or what was going on; I just wrote things that were on my mind about this. So sorry for the lecture. I hope you can understand.
