Last year, we brought together #CCC, #COSCUP, #eventinfra, #FOSDEM, #FOSS4All Korea, #FOSSASIA, #FOSSNorth, #IndiaFOSS and I am certainly forgetting several.

If in doubt, poke me if you'd fit.

And please help us: like a conference? Make their organizers aware of this.

And, as always, #retoot appreciated!

I wasn’t convinced Claude could really replace me until I watched it trigger fail2ban while configuring fail2ban and lock itself out, just like I would have. 🫡

Microsoft says bug causes Copilot to summarize confidential emails

Microsoft says a Microsoft 365 Copilot bug has been causing the AI assistant to summarize confidential emails since late January, bypassing data loss prevention (DLP) policies that organizations rely on to protect sensitive information.

If you disable pasting in your password field, I hate you. I hate you even more if you don't have a "show password" button so I can verify that I'm typing my password correctly since you won't let me paste

LDAPCon 2026 is looking for a couple more people to join our Program Committee to review CFPs etc. A couple of our veterans have retired since the last LDAPCon so we're a little light on industry representation. Contact me if interested, thanks. #LDAP #LDAPCon

Just lost at least an hour on a horrible consequence to a firmware update.

My recent Dell laptop is running Ubuntu 24.04. I updated the *firmware*. And I lost the wireless card! No longer recognized by the OS.

Initially, I thought it was some BIOS "tamper detection" issue. After a while, I found the incriminating log line in dmesg:

iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-bz-b0-gf-a0-100.ucode failed with error -2
