Want to help a great hybrid FLOSS conference?

@SeaGL starts organizing the 2024 conference Monday at 17:00 Pacific (UTC-8)

https://pad.riseup.net/p/SeaGL_2024_organizing

SeaGL is a fantastic, volunteer run conference. Like all volunteer events it relies on people helping out

You do not need to be in Seattle (I've been helping for 5 years from outside the area) and we've had multi-continent volunteer team for the last few years

"Hardware for Free Software" is tonight's @PLUG presentation

19:00 AZ ( UTC-7 ) in #BigBlueButton

Linux runs on lots of hardware.

Often we replace the proprietary software that came with the product.

The presentation explores hardware that is sold with Free Software such as Linux and BSD as the default.

working today to avoid SPoC - single point of capability

Rather than senior engineer debugging an issue, SE is going to mentor a junior engineer to learn the tool that's being debugged

Spread the knowledge == vacation without interruptions :)

ext4 corruption bug in Linux kernel 6.1.64-1 that was in last night's debian point release

Avoid booting into 6.1.64-1, if you have already done so the suggestion is to boot to a previous kernel, 6.1.55-1 or earlier

debian 12.3 release has been delayed. Thanks to those who are working to update the kernel for the release!

Bug report - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1057843

Looking at FastMail for someone and it looks like they only allow plus for subaddressing

WikiPedia indicates this is a common problem

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Sub-addressing

Any suggestions for good mail hosts that allow you to bring your own domain and allow another #subaddressing token?

I'd like to use dot, but dash could work as neither is generally blocked by poorly configured websites like plus

Subdomain is cool, but not what I'm wanting to explain to the recipient of this shiny new mail setup :)

I'll be talking about jq and JSON @SeaGL on Saturday, November 4th

I'm flying up to Seattle to be masked and in person. We're hybrid this year, so you can watch our talks remotely

This is part 3 of my jq trilogy, "Advanced jq: awk for JSON"

FLOX_advocate, 8 months ago to security

longer writeup on the #webp #security problem

Update everything that might use webp, such as #Firefox , #Thunderbird , #Chrome and anything built on them. Also make sure you get an updated version of #libwebp

Viewing webp images is enough to exploit unpatched software

For Firefox you might set "image.webp.enabled" to false in about:config for a while, there's probably something similar for Chrome

Update all devices: computers, phones, tablets, etc
