Backdoor found in widely used Linux utility breaks encrypted SSH connections in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] Teppic@kbin.social 1 points 5 months ago

In time it may become a trade-off between new (with associated features and speed) Vs tried and tested/secure.
To us now this sounds perverse, but remember that NASA generally use very old hardware because they can be more certain the various bugs & features have been found and documented. In NASA's case this is for reliability. I'll concede 'brute force' does add another dimension when applying this logic to security.

This may also become an AI arms race. Finding exploits is likely something AI could become very good at - but a better AI seeking to obfuscate?

How long until US bans code from developers with ties to CN/RU?

That won't happen because it would effectively mean banning all FOS which isn't remotely practical.

Backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leading to ssh server compromise in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
That's why we need two ssds for dual boot in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

It's relatively quick and easy to fix if you have a live boot Linux usb stick ...and probably a second machine so you can Google what to do. It's just also rather worrying at the time.

I really wish Excel would work on wine. It's the only reason I do occasionally fire up windows on my duel boot. (And no the open source / browser based spreadsheet options don't always suffice, brilliant as they are).

Lemmings, what's your self hosted server power usage? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] Teppic@kbin.social 1 points 6 months ago

My main issue is I'm not shutting down my Pi-Hole, home assistant, NAS etc etc just to plug in something like this in, and then 24h or so later shut them all down again to retrieve it again. That said I basically have a collection of Pis (passively cooled and this silent) and a Synology disk station so the power use is pretty low.

You've got me there, but by logical extension you are now saying the celestial body the ISS orbits is ...the moon?

You seem to be saying that the earth-moon barycente can be logically referred to as just 'the moon' ?

Is there a downvote bot on lemmy or something that downvotes a post regardless of the content ? If there is a downvote bot what can we do about it ? in c/lemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] Teppic@kbin.social 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Some people use apps which hide posts they have interacted with. A downvote counts as interaction so people in turn then liberally downvote nearly everything. Yes it's unhelpful and dumb. Solution, use kbin and at least you can see who downvoted you! (Except I don't think downvotes are federated).

It's an odd-numbered year, so there is a new major Debian release, and they are now releasing the corresponding version of Raspberry Pi OS.

Introducing: Raspberry Pi 5! (www.raspberrypi.com)
 

Today, we’re delighted to announce the launch of Raspberry Pi 5, coming at the end of October. Priced at $60 for the 4GB variant, and $80 for its 8GB sibling (plus your local taxes), virtually every aspect of the platform has been upgraded, delivering a no-compromises user experience. Raspberry Pi 5 comes with new features, it’s over twice as fast as its predecessor, and it’s the first Raspberry Pi computer to feature silicon designed in‑house here in Cambridge, UK.

Browsing the wider fediverse from kbin (kbin.social)

Some thoughts about using the Microblog functionality in kbin and why, controversially, I think it might actually beat Mastodon at it's own game - browsing toots.

Kbin let's you have a curated feed of posts from the fediverse (including Mastodon toots) which is sorted by new, hot, top etc.

Steps:

  1. First, if you are subscribed to the https://kbin.social/m/Random magazine, I'd suggest you unsubscribe - kbin drops everything which it can't allocate to a magazine into here, which for the Microblog stuff is a lot of noise.

  2. Do make sure you've subscribed to a few magazines, but also you can subscribe to domains like https://kbin.social/d/social.bbc

  3. Follow people (I'm not sure of they will show up, but can't harm)

...now look at "Subscribed", and then choose the Microblog section (on desktop it's a tab at the top, on mobile you'll need to scroll to the bottom of Page 1 to find the Microblog button).

You should find this Microblog has stuff linked to the magazines you subscribe to, this is due to hastags being linked to those magazines, and also included posts from domains you've subscribed too. I'm not actually sure if people you've followed show up here(?)

Better still you can now sort and filter this list, New, Hot, Top / 3h, 6h, 12h, day, week etc.
This is sorting based on boots and upvotes.

In summary you've now got a custom curated feed of fediverse posts, and you can sort this feed by the posts which are most popular.

...I don't think Mastodon let's you sort your feed like this - this is power!

Edit: Fixed the hyperlink to Random

Hariette Test driving the release candidate for v0.2.0 of #ArtemisApp: (@hariette@tech.lgbt) (tech.lgbt)
 

Click through for a screenshot of #ArtemisApp.
This is cross linked from Hariette's Mastodon profile:

Test driving the release candidate for v0.2.0 of #ArtemisApp. It’s the first version that’s gonna be publicly available. Within the week 🚀 /kbin API is still due for release. But you’ll be able to use the https://artemis.camp instance, that has a fork of the official API. Support for other instances will roll out as soon as the API ships. And #Lemmy support is coming in a week or two :) #Threadiverse #kbin #kbinapp #ios #android

The Last Leg shifts to Threads and snubs the fediverse? (kbin.social)
 

Is it OK that The Last Leg is asking people to contact them on Theads rather than Twitter?
Kinda

It is OK they are not using Mastodon?

Welcome to the RaspberyPi kbin Magazine (kbin.social)

Hello!

Welcome fo the RaspberryPi magazine here on kbin.social!
So realistically there are relativly few posts wihtin this magazine. I have projects which I would like to write up and share... but I can't fill this channel alone, and time always seems to be short.

However... this is kbin, there is whole other side to the magaizines! Alongside the Threads there is also the Microblog. If you are on a pc the Microblog tab can be selected from top of the page, if you are on Mobile this page can be selected below the Magazine panel at the bottom of the page. This Micoblog includes pages from all over the fediverse which include the hashtags below.

If you find anything interesting using the Microblog here please do crosspost it back to here as a new thread - this will make it a little more visible to others here on kbin (and to those on Lemmy too!)

If you would like me to add other hashtags please comment below. I'll edit this post to keep the list upto date.

Hashtags:
#raspberrypi
#pipico
#pi5

The great (planned) kbin outage (upgrade) of 2023 - how did you spend it? (kbin.social)
 

Well that was traumatic, I kept subconsciously opening kbin only to be greatest with a "Planned technical works are in progress" message. Disaster.

Well controversially I opened the official Reddit app to see if anyone was talking about it there - that was a mistake, after meer seconds I realised it really is a horrible as everybody says... Closed Reddit.

Checked kbin again -- noo still not back up.

Breath. No I'm English, go make a cup of tea. Right we can get through this.
Mastodon, that works right - ahhh it's not quite kbin, but this is is cool too. Other people are talking about the #kbin maintenance here too.

How did you all cope?

Very exciting start to the Tour De France today. Great seeing the Yates brothers battling it out, and a well earned result for Adam.
