What is the secret to getting tigervnc-server working under Fedora 40?

@LaF0rge @c3gsm @c3isdn @ChaosPost @fixeria @manawyrm @qsx you would have loved the days of x.25 in Australia

@va3db this is THE WORST part of any project. A jeweler's saw can be useful, if you haven't tried it yet. One day I'll have a small milling machine for this.

1️⃣9️⃣ Here's the 19th post highlighting key new features of the upcoming v257 release of systemd. #systemd257

A relatively basic feature of systemd's service management is the ability to automatically restart a service in case it terminates unexpectedly, configurable via the Restart= setting.

In v254 we added the RestartMode= setting that allows to fine tune the mechanism to use for restarting the service, i.e. it adds a logic to optionally avoid marking the service as failed between…

@LaF0rge @qsx @ChaosPost @c3isdn @c3gsm @manawyrm @fixeria do you ever play with old teletype machines? They are fun, you can connect them to each other with TP and send messages over quite amazing distances.

@spacetelescope definitely worth clicking through: the image holds a second discovery that’s easier to overlook. Examine the white elliptical galaxy at left. A faint red arc appears in the inset at 10 o’clock. This is a very distant galaxy whose light is bent by the gravity of the elliptical foreground galaxy – and its appearance is duplicated. The stretched red arc is warped where it reappears – as a dot – at 4 o’clock. These images of the lensed galaxy are so faint and so red that they went unrecognized in Hubble data, but are unmistakable in Webb’s near-infrared image.

I've been seeing slow downloads from #Fedora mirrors yesterday & today, pretty sure my Internet connection is ok. Anyone else seeing this?

@mossmann thanks, this will be simpler than growing an extra arm.

@mossmann where can you buy these?

8️⃣ Here's the 8th post highlighting key new features of the upcoming v257 release of systemd.

A longer time ago systemd introduced JSON based user records as an extension of classic UNIX `struct passwd`. These records can be provided via Varlink IPC or via drop-in files. The much richer set of account settings is documented here:

@g4dbn @schratze @gsuberland I have a tv but no time to watch any of the 5 or so streaming services I've forgotten about

At Linux' best conference, All Systems Go! 2024 in Berlin this year I gave a (brief) talk about Varlink, and why you should consider it. If you want to know more about the concept, this might be a good starting point:

And that's all for now, enjoy!

@gigabecquerel it's beautiful

@linux_mclinuxface 😠

Had fun in at #OSSSummit in Tokyo yesterday demonstrating a TPM interposer attack obtaining the systemd cryptenroll boot keys

https://sched.co/1jKCe

And also explaining how the new Linux Kernel TPM patches can help defeat this

For those who asked, my python3 interposer designed to steal the keys is here:

Thus is the video of my TPM interpose presentation and demo at #OSSummit

@n6utc that is the minimum number of antennas a vehicle should have
