"Connect to wifi to download an update" is such a frustratingly stupid feature in a vehicle. It's a car, dammit. It's parked outside. I'm not going to buy a wifi repeater just so my in-house wifi is reachable from the driveway. Just use your own connection -- pretty sure I download more data monthly via streaming radio than the size of that software update.

Submitted a CfP to the @LinuxSecSummit in Vancouver titled "How to backdoor the Linux Kernel (and fail?)".

Hopefully, see you there? :)

@Foxboron Yes, but my point is that in the grand scheme of "lines of code dealing with potentially hostile code," a compression algorithm is often not the most worrisome piece.

@Foxboron the attack surface of gunzip pales in comparison to the attack surface of curl/wget, bash/busybox, and the tcp stack of the underlying OS and all the sandboxing abstractions built on top of it.

@captainepoch Me gustaria tanto estar en España ahora mismo. Yo y mi esposa hemos pasado dos semanas en Valencia el mayo pasado y fue muy encantador. :)

@captainepoch @vbabka That's understandable -- I can't imagine it would be easy to support all possible forks of Pleroma and Mastodon.

@vbabka You can also just go to social.kernel.org in your Chrome and accept adding it to the home screen, though I suggest using an app like Hermit for that instead.

social.kernel.org should be now up and running on Akkoma. It may take a little bit for things posted during the downtime to show up, but they should all make it there eventually.

@captainepoch Yep, we should be back now. Still need to wrap my head around proper confinement for asdf and SELinux

@est cleaning up when you have kids is precisely as effective as shoveling in the middle of a snowstorm.

@jperlow my wife designs toy patterns and her most frequent customer question is why most of her designs don't come with pants or at least with underwear. So, I completely believe this story is genuine.

I've decided to migrate social.k.o to Akkoma (a fork of Pleroma). There will be some visual changes to the site, but any of the apps that are currently working for you should continue to work just fine.

The tentative migration date is Monday, Jan 30.
