kryllic@programming.devto Debian operating system@lemmy.ml•Debian wins Swiss trademark action against former developer18·1 year agoLooks like this may be a bit of a theme for this guy…
Apart from Debian, he has also targeted Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) and it has got so bad, they have had to reach the extreme of pursuing legal action against him. He violated EU data protection laws by illegally copying subscriber information from FSFE’s mailing lists and subscribed everyone to his own list. He also ran a script that tried to unsubscribe everyone from FSFE’s lists. Then he claimed that what he did must have been legal because he has not been arrested yet, while at the same time continuing to use his list to spread lies and defamatory statements about volunteers and the FSFE itself. Which is something he has also been doing to Open Labs, accusing them of human trafficking, running a paedophilia ring, and god knows what else.
No prob! I think Ars Technica had the best writeup imo: https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/04/what-we-know-about-the-xz-utils-backdoor-that-almost-infected-the-world/
kryllic@programming.devto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•When everyone became paranoid20·1 year agoIn a nutshell, a backdoor was intentionally planted by a malicious actor in xz Utils, an open-source data compression utility widely used in Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. This discovery was made by Andres Freund, a developer and engineer working on Microsoft’s PostgreSQL offerings. He was troubleshooting performance problems on a Debian system. Specifically, SSH logins were consuming excessive CPU cycles and generating errors with Valgrind, a memory debugging tool. Through sheer luck and Freund’s careful eye, he eventually discovered that these issues were the result of updates made to xz Utils. Upon closer inspection, he found that updates to xz Utils were the result of a maliciously inserted backdoor. The backdoor, present in xz Utils versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1, manipulated the sshd executable, allowing anyone with a predetermined encryption key to upload and execute arbitrary code on affected devices.

I love the 3D feel of their library and am seeing it pop up a lot more in web design.
I must be living under a rock because this is the first I’ve heard of USB 4. Is it just a speed bump or does it affect the type of data that can be transferred? In my experience I’ve had issues using a usb 2.0 flash drive to use a live image of a Linux iso in a 3.1 port

This is like looking up hammers that don’t leave fingerprints on the grip so you can get away with murder. The tool itself isn’t the issue, the motive is, as well as the person responsible for using it.

kryllic@programming.devto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•This Week in Self-Hosted (8 December 2023)English85·2 years agoI prefer Plex for its stupid simple “press here to share your library with your family remotely.” And before the Jellyfin folks have an aneurysm, yes I know I can “jUsT uSe a ReVeRsE pRoXy” but I’m a busy guy and frankly lazy. So if Jellyfin wants wide adoption, it needs to make library sharing stupid simple.

Not sure what the use case is here but Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) works great.
