#Debian security team just released DSA-6253-1 which addresses #dirtyfrag local root escalation which has been issued CVE-2026-43284 and CVE-2026-43500
Youthful me would be shocked at what my reaction has become to even the possibility of a late night out.
A computer science research lab has developed a simulated Canadian and a simulated Scot that can converse with each other.
It’s a breakthrough in Eh Aye.

I'm seeing basically nothing of #RedDressDay in my feed, which surprises me.
Women, girls, 2-Spirit and other individuals from Indigenous nations still disappear or turn up murdered *far* more than any other group in Canada. Much remains to be done, and even knowing about the problem is low-bar Step One. #mmiwg #mmiwg2s
"How the #Trump Administration Ended Independent Science at the #EPA"
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/climate/epa-science-trump-cuts.html
"The agency’s prestigious research office spent decades doing scientific work insulated from political pressure…For more than a half-century, [it] did groundbreaking research aimed at saving American lives. It studied fertility, asthma, wildfires, drinking water, climate change and myriad other health threats. In just one year, it has been almost completely dismantled."

🚨ACTION ALERT🚨
The CA Assembly is fast-tracking A.B. 1709, a bill that would ban everyone under 16 from social media. This censorship scheme threatens your data privacy and ignores the First Amendment. Tell your representatives to vote NO on A.B. 1709. https://eff.salsalabs.org/stopcasocialban/index.html
My mom used to do environmental activism. All by herself, she got earth day and a recycling center going in town, and was a whistleblower about Dow chemical using agent orange. She was mentioned in Time Magazine for it.
Then she went to a barbecue for environmentalists. They put her down for wearing red lipstick and long nails.
And then her activism days petered out because she didn't want to hang out with these people.
Make sure you can see the forest for the trees.

Happy to have voted for her in the election.
DDos (Distributed Denial of Service) attack against BlueSky a few days ago: The whole network goes down.
DDoS against mastodon.social today: Lots of users on that instance impacted, the rest of the Fediverse keeps on running, my instance doesn't really notice, messages will be queued up until mastodon.social is reachable again.
Both networks claim to be decentralised and federated. You decide :)
Congratulations, Sruthi!
After just having responded to the third #curl security report for the evening I noticed a post that cheered me up...
Have a good Friday everyone!
