I was walking back from the library when I spotted my neighbor who I haven't talked to in a month or so. The first words out of her mouth was, "Damn! You look tired and older than when I last talked to you."

I'm a Debian user and supporter and have been for longer than many of the folks I follow here on Mastodon have been alive. Yeah, I'm old. Shut up! 😂

Chinese hackers suspected in breach of powerful DC law firm

Suspected Chinese hackers have broken into the email accounts of attorneys and advisers at a powerful Washington, DC, law firm in an apparent intelligence-gathering operation, the firm, Wiley Rein, told clients this week in a memo reviewed by CNN.
