Remember when the only correct thing to do with Nazis was to punch them?

Because #Substack doesn't allow sex workers to post anything "pornographic" means they've decided that there absolutely is a line that cannot be crossed on their platform and they have now said OUT LOUD that literal Nazis do not cross that line.

Un-fucking-believable.

"SMTP Smuggling" vulnerability in Postfix allows to spoof senders even in the presence of some DMARC checks. Configuration workarounds exist.

Also, a wholehearted f* you to SEC Consult, who sat on this since June and disclosed it to some closed-source vendors and MSPs, but could apparently not be bothered to give e.g. Postfix a heads-up, publishing this close to the holidays.

Boosts for awareness welcome.

Captain,

When we visit planets 4 and 8 of the Chan system, is the Prime Directive still in effect? They deserve some interference.

Worf

@LWN Thank you for accurately calling it "invasion of Ukraine" as opposed to "conflict in Ukraine." ❤️

The reason Ukraine is running out of artillery shells and other critically important supplies is, Speaker Mike Johnson in his clean suit on the left thinks, the weapons support to the Ukrainian soldier on the right can wait.

So Mike Johnson is now going home to celebrate Christmas with his family, while this soldier is trying to fight the Russian invasion with even less weapons.

The US deserves better politicians.

@drewdevault unfortunately, we already have too many examples of people always preferring familiarity and convenience over any but very immediately threatening environmental concerns.

NYT has tipped things over into being on my personal sh*t list for the foreseeable future. Bad takes, bad research, bad faith.

Even wanted to know when a recent #Linux #kernel commit hit linux-next? Use a command like this on a git tree containing linux-next:

git tag --contains 49d8575ca --sort=creatordate --list 'next-*' | head -n 1

My linuxscrunity tool[1] can now show this on request, too (see screenshot):

@GossiTheDog Only if it's Arch, btw.

This was nice. #myotherlife

@jarkko For sure -- the goal is to be forge-agnostic as much as possible. I believe most of the work to handle GH pull requests will lend itself fairly straightforwardly to GL MRs (but I may be overly optimistic here, who knows).

@damoncjones @Daojoan I may be relaying an apocryphal story, but I believe during the trucker protests in Ottawa there were some American truckers who ended up being arrested. I mean, they knew they were in a different country, but they where genuinely convinced that since they are US citizens, anyone dealing with them must follow US laws as well.

@Daojoan Eh, they drive North over the border and try the same thing in Canada, including "pleading the fifth" when being arrested by the police.

vger mail transfer is complete and working well.

Please send your kind regards and words of thanks to @warthog9 for his work managing vger over the past several years, after having taken over its maintenance from DaveM.

vger migration chugging along, we just need a quick outage to bump the number of CPUs due to all the increased spam scanning.

Me: lol, they messed it up, that's, like, 15 years from now.

Ukrainians fight in the cold wet trenches.
Ukrainians load the artillery guns with frost biting in their fingers.
Ukrainians carry dead bodies of their fallen friends off the battlefield.

All we have to do in the EU is pay EUR 0.81 per citizen per day.
All we have to do in the US is pay USD 0.59 per citizen per day.
While we sit in our warm, secure homes watching Netflix.

The next time you see a western politician complaining about OUR part of the job, tell them to wake the fuck up.
