Linux is now a CNA: http://www.kroah.com/log/blog/2024/02/13/linux-is-a-cna/

This has taken a long time, I'd like to thank all the groups that helped, and especially the CVE group themselves. Our application was a bit different than other groups, but they understood that this is important for security overall.

The leader of the GOP encouraging Russia to attack our NATO allies seems like the comment from a presidential candidate that everyone should be talking about this weekend.

1923: Hitler’s failed coup.

No real consequences.
No fundamental changes.

1933: Hitler takes power.

I wish I could implant this into everyone’s brain.

It makes me sad at how accurate this is.

Watch Putin's interview if you want more proof that the world would be *so* much better off if macho old men would just go to therapy.

The party of Ronald Reagan is bothsidesing the Hitler wannabee. What a time to be alive.

A US businessman with 171 million social media followers is trying to convince the American public, that the law which contains the aid to Ukraine will allow foreigners to vote in US elections.

Why is python's email module *so bad* at creating valid headers?

90% of the bugs reported against the module are for some kind of header parsing or writing problem.

Is there a fancy German word for when you find out that a fancy foreign word is actually pretty blah in its original language? Like, "Bossa Nova" just literally means "New Wave," "hors d'oeuvre" means "side project" and "wanderlust" just means "in the mood for some walking."

True story: I never issue "reboot" from the CLI because I once arrow-keyed up too far and rebooted a critical system into an unusable state.

So, if you look at my history, it's always "sleep 5 && reboot" to allow for a frantic "oh sh*t, Ctrl-C!" at the last moment.

If you're wondering why I followed you, even though we've never interacted and seemingly have nothing in common, that's probably because I'm trying to add diversity to my feed of aging nerdy white guys.

(Edited to add: and because you posted something cool, of course. The above statement is not the exclusive guiding principle. :))

Fantastic, concise summary from @monsieuricon on a bit of history about Git and kernel projects and why they continue to use mailing list workflows over a centralized forge. https://lore.kernel.org/git/20240201-primitive-aardwark-of-contentment-aaabb9@lemur/

Dudes will literally lie to investors, get fined by the SEC, dig pointless tunnels, blow up rockets, waste $44b on a dying social media platform, embrace anti semitism, alienate their kids and start a blood feud with Disney instead of going to therapy
