I accidentally found a security issue while benchmarking postgres changes.

If you run debian testing, unstable or some other more "bleeding edge" distribution, I strongly recommend upgrading ASAP.

@hikhvar @AndresFreundTec is anyone in touch with the original maintainer?

Given they were put under pressure before already I don't want to imagine their state of mind after the flurry of news in the past few hours.

If you live in the UK or USA, you need to understand one thing about the coming election:

You need to vote defensively.

Neither of the main parties are appealing. But if you don't vote for the lesser evil you may end up helping a totalitarian horror get elected.

Hold your nose and goddamn vote, dammit. THEN go on protests. Because if you don't vote for the lesser evil, the victor will welcome your protests with bullets.

The prize for political purity this time round is a shallow grave.

@sarajw it would be lovely to have laws in git with commit messages explaining the reasoning. Might even help get rid of some things where the reasons are no longer valid :)

@sarajw https://www.demokratiegeschichten.de/eine-huerde-von-fuenf-prozent/ ... The reason is in German history, Google translate likely helps

Lovely children's book explaining the link between data privacy, AI, third party data collection and how that causes trouble for people deviating from the normal distribution of values:

Ich habe mein Dokument zur Gründung des @sovtechfund
mit allen Referenzen mal auf meine Webseite gestellt

Stand 2021. Aber da fehlt für die Reaktionen auf oder andere Katastrophen nur noch

  1. Inzidenz Unterstützung für das betroffenene Projekt.

  2. Forensik und Aufräumen

  3. Langfristige Identifizierung von "wichtigen" Projekten unter Stress

Die Phasen schreibe ich noch sauber auf.

This could also cover the "we are in the middle of politically motivated potential conflict, how to react" case:

Are there any videos that explain stuff like what encryption is, why cryptographic protocols are important - but for kids? I remember how fascinated I found "applied cryptography" ages ago, but that's not exactly suitable for that use case.

Dear lazy web: Gibt es eigentlich deutsche Kinderbuchautor:innen, die ähnlich lustie Bücher schreiben wie die Kinderbücher von Terry Pratchett, Roald Dahl oder David Williams?

@Schrank ja, stimmt - unter anderem Das Neinhorn! Zeit mal wieder zu schauen, ob da was neues rausgekommen ist oder ob es auch umfangreichere Bücher von ihm für jüngere gibt :)

    @janl kommst du zur bbuzz vorbei?

    Paul hat mir heute erst erzählt, dass meine liebste keynote der ganzen Jahre über dich zustande kam (die von Fiona Coath). Danke! Ich kann mich erinnern, Paul damals gefragt zu haben, ob er nicht was zum Thema Data/recommender und Impact on society auf die Bühne stellen kann. Ich kann mich auch erinnern, dass ich den Vortrag auf die erste Minute super gut fand. Es hat bis jetzt gedauert, dass ich erfahren habe, über den der Kontakt zustande kam.

    @janl @ashedryden No worries about timing. We'll get to see each other at another occasion. Wish you a lovely week.

    Does anyone in my English speaking bubble have convincing examples what to use ordered trees for - and for best to explain them? @sylvia - a lovely music/math/computer science teacher that ages ago was one of the children I went to school with - is looking for ways to introduce the concept to her students.

    @sylvia maybe @b0rk has a hint?

    An dieser Stelle sei einmal auf Adriana Groh von Sovereign Tech Fund / Prototype Fund verwiesen, die im Kontext dieser Affäre vorbildhaft wichtige Arbeit leistet.

    Wenn Ihr zum Thema schreibt solltet Ihr auch über sie schreiben.

    @thomasfricke @isotopp @sovtechfund Ist eigentlich bekannt, ob irgendjemand mit dem ursprünglichen xz maintainer im Austausch steht?

    Wenn da jemand schon vor Monaten alleine stand und unter Druck gesetzt wurde, möchte ich mir lieber nicht vorstellen, wie es diesem Menschen ob der Nachrichten der letzten Stunden jetzt geht.
