Slackware Cloud Server Series, Episode 9: Cloudsync for 2FA Authenticator

As promised in an earlier blog article, I am going to talk about setting up a 'cloud sync' backend server for the Ente Authenticator app.

July update for Chromium 126

The latest release of the Chromium source code (version 126.0.6478.182 was made available on July 16th) addresses several vulnerabilities as usual, some of which are rated as 'High' but none 'Critical' and also no new 0-days are reported.

Not sure if it’s relevant, but this is an exert from Palpatine’s speech before he becomes Emperor in #StarWars…

“The attempt on my life has left me scarred, but I assure you my resolve has never been stronger! In order to ensure security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into an Empire, for a safe and secure society …An Empire that will be continue to be ruled by a sovereign ruler chosen for life. An Empire ruled by a new constitution.”

📺 CECI EST UN ASSASSINAT POLITIQUE

Nous assistons, peut-être pour la première fois de l'histoire, à un assassinat politique organisé à la télévision. En 2024, il n'y a plus besoin de milice pour tuer un représentant politique ou un parti de gauche : il suffit de le pilonner matin, midi et soir, avec les diffamations les plus terribles pour le tuer socialement.

4 électeurs sur 10 ont voté extrême-droite. Il n'y a aucune raison de se réjouir.
C'est un terrible échec pour le gouvernement Macron, mais aussi pour la lutte contre le changement climatique et la justice sociale. Il va falloir construire ensemble pour éviter le pire.

🍉 UNE POLICE DU VÊTEMENT CONTRE LA CAUSE PALESTINIENNE

Vous avez aimé la traque aux "robes longues" dans les lycées au nom d'une fausse "laïcité ? Vous allez adorer les amendes pour un pin's en forme de pastèque !

À Lyon, le 31 mai, des policiers ont mis en place une traque aux symboles évoquant la Palestine. Notre article à lire ici : https://contre-attaque.net/2024/06/04/une-police-du-vetement-contre-la-cause-palestinienne/

As my MP, I have met Michael Gove a number of times, and each time he confirmed my suspicions that he is a slimy, duplicitous and generally unlikable man.

Him swanning off and not facing the music is exactly what I’ve come to expect from someone with the fortitude of a paper bag underwater. I would have loved for him to have his Portillo moment, but seeing him gone is the next best thing. Good riddance.

Am about to attend a meeting on future digital plans for my institution today. Have just been sent slides by someone which mentions transhumanism and space tourism.

Your thoughts and prayers would appreciated at this moment.

That guilty look, when you're caught stealing all the wombats.
