I just finished my #systemd261 series of posts. And I now also prepped a blog story linking to every single one of them here:

Make sure to stay tuned for the #systemd262 series, most likely starting already in a few weeks!

🇪🇺 What happened to the EU Commission's plans on getting rid of cookie banners? Well, according to the Council’s latest position paper, those have been scrapped. 🚮 This is likely to result in a great deal of hassle and frustration for European users, as well as billions of clicks per year. 🍪

Well, at least they‘re honest: Screw the planet, screw your children‘s future, our loss-making, billions-burning business model is more important. Quick! More gas! Like a con man creating time pressure. Meanwhile the heat is escalating like never before.

Milá komunito,
hledám někoho, kdo by se ujal technické administrace této instance (jde hlavně o nasazování updatů, technickou správu serveru a řešení problémů).

@nolog už to bohužel nezvládají, takže jsme se dohodli na ukončení spolupráce. Potřebujeme tedy někoho nového. Každopádně moc velké díky za všechno, co pro instanci dosud dělali!

Pokud máte tipy nebo se sami chcete přihlásit, napište mi prosím buď zde, nebo na e-mail [email protected]. Díky!

An ecrime group has somehow gained access to 75k Fortinet firewall devices - dubbed Fortibleed

Check if your domain is impacted: https://www.hudsonrock.com/fortinet

I’ve verified the data is real. They’ve been dumping the Fortinet config - not sure how yet - and then cracking the passwords it appears. Data is being resold online. #fortibleed

This is the first time I'm posting anything here but I figured this may be the right audience.

I've never run into something like this and I don't quite know what to make of it. I'm the author and maintainer of libgpiod. The official git repository is the one at kernel.org[1]. There's also a github mirror[2] as well as a documentation page[3] at readthedocs that I maintain.

I noticed (purely by chance) that there's a new website at libgpiod.com that's been created recently. I have nothing to do with it. It's clearly AI-generated but it redirects to my github. It's a 2 month old domain, anonymized registrar, protected by Cloudflare and NeoProtect and a Swedish host behind that.

Clearly someone went to great lengths to stay anonymous. I'm afraid of falling victim to some new elaborate supply chain attack. What should I do about it (if anything)? Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Události #ČT zase opakují, že „odborníci varují před připojování k veřejným Wi-Fi sítím“ a například používání internetového bankovnictví z takové sítě. K _dokonalosti_ ještě chybělo snad jen doporučit použití nějaké komerční VPN.

Možná by víc opravdových odborníků mohlo lidem dostatečně populárně vysvětlovat, že pokud by veřejná Wi-Fi síť dokázala ohrozit použití internetového bankovnictví, pak by nebylo bezpečné používat ho nikde a nikdy.
