My talk about the NICE Cyber Career Ambassador program is picked up for #BSides SATX! It's a pretty fun little conference in San Antonio.
Wordle 1,037 - today's solve rate is about 70%, that's one of the lowest I've ever seen.

Quote of the day (from the Fedora devel list):
We have no mechanism to flag when J. Random Packager adds "Supplements: glibc" to their random leaf node package. As a reminder, *we are a project that allows 1,601 minimally-vetted people to deliver arbitrary code executed as root on hundreds of thousands of systems*, and this mechanism allows any one of those people to cause the package they have complete control over to be automatically pulled in as a dependency on virtually every single one of those systems.

Again the FOSS world has proven to be vigilant and proactive in finding bugs and backdoors, IMHO. The level of transparency is stellar, especially compared to proprietary software companies. What the FOSS world has accomplished in 24 hours after detection of the backdoor code in #xz deserves a moment of humbleness. Instead we have flamewars and armchair experts shouting that we must change everything NOW. Which would introduce even more risks. Progress is made iteratively. Learn, adapt, repeat.

Easter Sunday and #TransDayOfVisibility on the same day?
This seems rather appropriate.

people are saying the xz backdoor is likely the work of a nation state actor, and given that it appears to been slow rolled for a couple of years and immediately became obsolete before it was fully launched - you do have to admit it bears the hallmarks of a government IT project
That nice thing where you get home and get the kids to bed and you can finally check whether your boxes with exposed SSH are backdoored by xz, and Debian Testing has auto-updated itself and mitigated the issue already.

I've long been convinced that the actual changed line of code is one of the most hilarious lines of code ever written
if ((options == (__WCLONE|__WALL)) && (current->uid = 0))
retval = -EINVAL;

@gnomon cheers and keep it up!

@gnomon nice! Doing great! I used to be all cardio no lifting. Since I found exercises like this and confidence to not have three plates on each side I've started enjoying lifting.
@ismh @NanoRaptor I love that it has a "powergenesis crispr" module. Very nice touch - someone could write a whole cyber-solrpunk story around this universe. I nominate Margaret Atwood.

I finally got around to writing about my favorite concept that came out of Apple in the 80s. https://512pixels.net/2024/03/apple-jonathan-modular-concept/

I want everyone on Threads to know: The Fediverse (Federal Universe) is the decentralized network created by all governments world wide to communicate with one another. Everyone inside of the Fediverse is a government official of some sort — due to the “.de” in my Tag you can see that I work for the German government.
I hope this helps amidst the confusion.
@brk I heard that worked great, and found this site has it built in - presumably as compiled to wasm.
