One of the fun parts is Trump saying: Yes they made a mistake, but it's the only mistake made by this government since its inauguration. While I seriously doubt that everybody will sign on the first part, I'd like to focus on the second, since this government is in office for two month, so do we have to we have to expect twenty three further clangers?
In case there was any doubt we're dealing with full-scale fascism, now the Speaker of the House is threatening to "eliminate" a federal court because he doesn't like a judge's ruling.
Facing pressure from his right flank to take on judges who have ruled against President Donald Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., on Tuesday floated the possibility of Congress eliminating federal courts.
Canonical prepara una transformación importante en su sistema operativo de código abierto, con el objetivo de reforzar la seguridad y optimizar el rendimiento de Ubuntu.
Yo lo que digo es por qué se empeñan en que sea MIT en lugar de simplemente seguir con GPL y hacerlo en Rust. Están mezclando el cambio a una tecnología con la licencia. Para mi Rust, vale, me gusta que se progrese sobre todo si es mas seguro y eficiente. Pero meter el cambio de licencia aprovechando el cambio de tecnología es lo que no me cuadra.
El tema es que Ubuntu será quien empiece esto, y hay que ver quien le sigue los pasos. Por mi, mientras sea para mejor… siempre y cuando no estén jodiendo con las licencias claro.
el problema que yo le veo, mas allá de la conspiración que yo mismo ando alimentando por aquí (jaja), es que si una de tus dependencias (MIT) se privatiza, de repente tienes más trabajo, más coste y por lo tanto todo va mas lento. Como mínimo ya te ha caído el marrón de mantener un fork y organizar / auditar a una comunidad formada alrededor del mismo de prisa y corriendo.
@kr0n Bueno, al parecer lo que va lento es la actualización de herramientas que damos por sentadas y que llevan años con nosotros. Dice el artículo que Sort es hasta 6 veces más rápido con Rust, pues que los mantenedores de Sort agarren la versión con licencia MIT y listo 😅
@iam @kr0n Pero el mantenedor de Sort o cualquier otra parte de coreutils igual no quiere dedicar tiempo a aprender Rust. No parece que Rust aporte mejoras de rendimiento frente a C o CPP. Y las coreutils no tienen un historial terrible de seguridad o fallos de gestión de memoria. Así que quizás lo que interesa a Canonical es cambiar la licencia.
@salvari @kr0n De acuerdo, no tiene que aprender ni está obligado a hacerlo, pues entonces que no protesten cuando alguien más toma la iniciativa y mejora la herramienta.
@iam @salvari @kr0n no, no creo que un rustafari esté por la labor de escribir bindings para usar dependencias en C, u ofrecer bindings para que el programa en C pueda enlazar sus librerías. Prefieren reescribirlo todo a pensar dónde tiene mas sentido aplicar rust para empezar.
El problema que yo le veo a Rust no está en el lenguaje, sino en la gente. Aplican la cultura fanboy y la tabla rasa a sistemas que podrían incorporar novedades más gradualmente.
@salvari @kr0n igual te digo, yo no soy quizás el usuario al que apunta todo este cambio, a mi con los Core Utils de toda la vida me basta y me sobra, me da igual que esté en C, C#, C++, Python o Rust.. 😁
Rust ofrece ahorro en computación más que mejoras de rendimiento. El compilador te fuerza a programar de tal forma que no necesitas programar a la defensiva, por lo que no tienes que escribir tantas comprobaciones, y la CPU tiene menos broza que ejecutar. Como todos los ahorros, componen a medida que vas apilando código en capas, y eso se nota mucho en herramientas recursivas o simplemente intensivas. En programas interactivos no se nota nada, o no tanto.

@SpaceLifeForm Signal does not keep metadata except absolutely needed to function and has proven so numerous times : signal.org/bigbrother/ Where do you get your information from?
It is called traffic analysis. You collect timestamps and ip addresses. With work, you can see endpoints communicating with each other. With other work, you may be able to identify the end point users.
Just because the payload in encrypted does not mean the channel will not reveal your presence.

May not have been military. It's quite common for military medevac aircraft to run rescues and transports for civilian agencies when no other aircraft are able to handle the mission.
In my SAR unit we have the Navy and Coast Guard airlift subjects for us maybe once a year on average.
@azonenberg Never heard of one in spain to do so, but I'm not that versed into airlift protocol in spain. First time seeing one do that for sure (seen plenty of our yellow airlift helis, tho)
Yeah I don't know your local protocols but it's not uncommon for military aircraft to have capabilities civilian ones lack (e.g. more powerful engine for mountain operations, winches for vertical rescues, bigger fuel tank capacity for more range off shore, etc).
One of the local sheriff's departments has a helicopter with a winch, but none of the regular airlift birds can do hoist rescues so if you need to get somebody out of a place that's not suitable for landing you need to either get the sheriff or military.
This is why we have to keep on our friends and families to delete their Instagram and Facebook accounts and move to small, human moderated instances. A fedi instance that promoted this brain rotted, generative model extruded sewage would soon find itself cast out of community.

Three mind-blowing facts about the US war plan leak via Signal:
— After the leak, The Pentagon warned staffers not to use Signal, because Russian hackers had found a Signal vulnerability.
— Trump's Ukraine and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff who was part of the Signal chat was in Russia while the chat was going on.
— Only 2 weeks ago, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard sent out a Tweet saying “Any unauthorized release of classified information is a violation of the law”
- but the most mind-blowing thing about it is still that almost nobody seems to be talking about the worst problem with this whole affair, even worse than the appalling ITSEC & OPSEC, namely the fact that these people are blatantly flounting their obligation of documenting the workings of government, which, like everything else they do, isn't just stupid and dangerous, but also wildly illegal. Which they can dodge if everybody only focuses on the IT/OPSEC aspect.

According to our PM who is afraid of upsetting Gilead, all we need to stop this is 'more sporting role models'
That's the amount of effort the PM will give this pressing issue, it's not on his agenda for the next five years so nothing will be done about the poisoning of our Youth by Fascism.

Uh, is it normal for an automated #security scanner to be unaware of #debian patched packages?
Like how OpenSSH 9.2p1 is vulnerable to CVE-2023-38408 but the Debian version 1:9.2p1-2+deb12u5 is patched. But the security scanner sees the "9.2p1" string and sounds the alarm.
It's been a while since I've been involved in vuln mgmt, but yes, used to see this all the time on Redhat, because Redhat also backports security patches like that.

Like, shit, there's stuff to actually praise about Bluesky! But it's not transforming the web, it's not taking shit back, it's not yet decentralized. It's another VC-backed corporate service, even if by most accounts a pretty decent one by that standard. I disagree vehemently with them endorsing Jesse Singal, but that's really my biggest complaint with them.
The problem that I'll call out here is that tech media is lionizing Bluesky well past what they actually are.
All the while, the same tech media, on seeing a decade-old flourishing social media *network* that can and *has* transformed the web, falls back to shit like the Verge's infamous and transphobic "boys only club" sneer, the same old tired tropes about how the fediverse is "too complicated" as though depending wholly on a single corporate service was somehow simpler, and so forth.
