I've finally finished pushing the latest update for #Gentoo Distribution Kernels, and requested their stabilization. This includes upstream releases 7.0.9, 6.18.32, 6.12.90 and 6.6.140; and Gentoo patch bumps 6.1.173_p1, 5.15.207_p1 and 5.10.256_p1.

All of these contain the v5 #Fragnesia patch. And yes, while the exploit is in the wild, upstream still hasn't merged a fix to the mainline kernel, let alone all the LTS branches. Of course, the patch keeps covering more holes, but it would really be preferable to do that as a followup instead of leaving people vulnerable and forcing us to keep rebasing it.

They also include a few reverts in 6.18 and 6.6 for broken PowerPC backports that upstream didn't apparently test. 🤷

We're doing our best, but I'd still recommend running the latest 7.0.x kernel, or LTS 6.18.x, because upstream is far from reliable with the backports.

HELP! #raylib maintainers needed!

raylib has grown a lot in the last few years and it's impossible for me to maintain everything; there are some systems that I'd need some help from users with more experience than me!

Thanks for your support! ❤️

Another week, another AI-generated security report. This time, the model seems to have hallucinated an issue, leaving me scrambling to find out none of it was true. The reporter did not validate their findings.

The Firefly III security policy has been updated to talk about this.

HOLY FUCK SCIENCE
"Brazil: "Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil have discovered that high-frequency ultrasound waves similar to those used in medical exams can eliminate viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 and H1N1 without damaging human cells.""
