@mechko That is both tragic and hilarious!

Just think about all the folks downloading the PHP patches through a connection that is part of MITM attack, because their curl or whatever is still using the emSign Root CA.

I just want to say thanks to the Debian Security Team for making my life sooooo much easier. For the most part, if I keep my system up to date I can switch my brain off.

In years of running many Debian systems for many people, I've never had a serious incident involving something that the Debian security team could've done anything about. Really stellar work and I'm sure many people don't even realise how much they benefit from it!

@b0rk I badly want to use anything else than vim, but then I keep inserting random i's everywhere.

@demoographics You're not alone.

If you're still using PHP 5... something is very wrong in your life.

Now that the updates are out, and I can finally show the article for php2shell

https://heise.de/-11494897

This has been long in the making, as I was part of the disclosure process and helped with liaising to (amongst others) CERT-Bund.

I'm glad this is out, even though it leaked a day ahead of time.

Now, it's time to watch the web burn, I'm afraid.

@froztbyte Some have direct ipv6 on gpon, others provide their own 6to4 tunnel but it's not well advertised. I'm on Rocketnet, they do an l2tp tunnel for ipv6 users who are on active ethernet (like me on Vumatel). I used the HE 6to4 tunnel in the past, but I think half of ZA ipv6 users used it at one point and it seemed to be somewhat congested/unreliable compared to the ISP connection (ISP ipv6 routes seem to be better than their ipv4 routes)

My ISP is just moving their customers from having public IP addresses to being behind cgnat with no prior communication. At least IPv6 works in South Africa now... if you manually configure it, but this is quite terrible if it becomes the norm now, and makes it increasingly important for everyone to use and support IPv6, we need to spread more awareness in ZA about this.

My home LXC to Incus migration went a lot better this time than a few years ago when I tried moving to LXD. My only issue is I keep typing "incust" instead of "incus". But muscle memory should improve over time.

@jwildeboer Yikes, $328m is not chump change.

Google Play review times keep getting longer and longer. I've been waiting three weeks for Google to release the latest version of .

It's not a security-critical release, but what if we ever need to publish something urgently?

Luckily, with reproducible builds, you can now seamlessly switch to the F-Droid version. F-Droid will automatically pick the correct version, and you will just be asked to confirm that F-Droid is now responsible for maintaining updates.

A screenshot of an Android system dialog that reads: This app normally receives updates from Google Play Store. By updating using a different source, you may receive future updates from any source eon your phone. A screenshot from the Google Play Developer Console showing that version 2.20.4 has been in review since September 28th.

So apparently all the coordination, planning and communications for organising No Kings events on Instagram have disappeared and the account admins have been suspended.

So... here's the thing:

DON'T PLAN YOUR REVOLUTION ON THE KING'S BLACKBOARD.

The fact that organisers are depending on the availability of a platform run by any of the tech bros... well, it makes me think you aren't a terribly effective opposition.

RT: @StoneDunk Neither Cartier-Bresson, Banksy nor Cold War Steve could have come up with such an image. Absolutely perfect composition and lighting (even the road signs are perfect)! ๐Ÿ˜

@luna No, but the other day I was thinking of making a CLI version of nautilus but after I thought of the name I decided to abandon the whole project.

Long thread/15

That's because Expedia requires hotels in its VIP listings programs to *raise their prices on non-Expedia sites by 10-25%...INDEFINITELY.*

Let me repeat that: to stay in business, hotels need to be on Expedia. To stay in business on Expedia, hotels have to raise their prices to pay Expedia's junk fees, but they have to raise their prices everywhere else. But to *really* stay in business on Expedia, hotels have to use the VIP program, which is even *more* expensive.

@tryst People are fucking awful. I remember learning about things that happened during the WW2 and hated the whole subject of history because I just couldn't believe that people were once so completely stupid and compliant. Now I'm literally living through such times.

It's fine to leave a community because it's not aligned with your strategic outlook or your values, or simply because the community moved on. You joined a community because you were aligned to it, and you can leave when that ceases to be the case. The project is the ship of Theseus, and we are all the rotten planks getting replaced over time.

@Ox1de @stefano We keep talking about the enshitification of products, but never the enshitification of their users.
