"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

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.

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):

This was nice. #myotherlife

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.

(Gets a replacement driver license that is valid until 2032.)

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.

#ukraine

Watch "Die Hard" at Xmas time with your own kids once they are old enough... check.

Mark your calendars: vger migration is being finalized this Thursday!

Sees the latest kernel version, considers getting back into bed.

The Lower Decks is the best Star Trek show. Change my mind.

At the start of episode 6, how did Jabba know it was Chewbacca and not some wookalike?

Nerdsnobs: people who have a packet of instant ramen for lunch and then a cup of freshly roasted organic coffee, black, because they have *standards*, bro.

Who was it who was asking for dark mode on git.kernel.org for xmas?

Ho-ho-ho!
