I thought running and ftp server (well, OK, technically it is https these days) with its own AS was so much fun as a hobby, I started doing it for work too.

Them: you are culturally Christian, because of Christmas.

Me: it is Odin's day, my dudes.

@Loukas Luckily I celebrate Yule and not Christmas then, so there's no christian taint?

The idea that an inode has no idea which directory it's associated with was a mistake and I will take no questions

@mjg59 Well, directories, since it can be in multiple ones?

@mjg59 Except in the few places where it is the really nice solution that would need a whole framework of workarounds otherwise.

@kushal

A couple of years earlier for me:

My CS course in algorithm analysis had us implement a large num library (good for exploring n log n vs n^2 etc with practical examples) to the point where we could do exponentiation mod and implement RSA. It was a neat series of exercises.

And on the mathematics track, I took a course in the cryptography. Interesting but not always easy to follow (the "why" of key sharing algorithms "n out of m secrets needed" work was hard for me,, as was ECC).

@kushal Nice, I'd love to be there, but I'm in a higher priority meeting.

Feel free to push BSides Ume to relevant people too! :)

OK, now I understand why everyone hates CDG. Not flying via Paris again if at all avoidable. Such a terrible airport.

I've been a frequent traveler for about 15-20 years and I had avoided it so far, but for a meeting in Paris the options were limited. Not again, if I can.avoid it. :No:

I just dropped my kid off on her school trip to France… and I must admit I am a tiny bit jealous, as I am looking out into the rainy Swedish evening.

I wouldn’t want to go on a school trip necessarily, but I would want to sit in the sun in France or Italy and have a croissant or an Italian dolce.

I just checked the forecast for Paris next week since I have a work visit. 7 degrees and light rain is technically warmer than Umeå, but not by that much.

Of course, most of my time will be spent in an auditorium, but I wouldn't have minded slightly better weather (like this weekend's +20 and sunny).

If you see a long German or Swedish word, first of all, don't panic. It's more scared of you than you are of it. Secondly, take a closer look and you'll see it's actually just three normal words in a trenchcoat, huddling together to deter predators (French and English).

@Paxxi Yes, but despite those three words dressing up in a trenchcoat, the English took them. @Loukas

HT to @wdormann here - somebody has backdoored the open source project XZ which has downstream impacts.

For example, although OpenSSH doesn’t use XZ, Debian patch OpenSSH and introduced a dependency which translates as the XZ changes introducing a sshd authentication bypass backdoor it appears.

One dude bothered to investigate in his free time about why ssh was running slow, so it was caught fairly early - i.e. hopefully before distros started bundling it.

One could argue that your tax money should also be spent by GCHQ to happen to look into increased CPU usage after some weird lib update in all the places where they didn't plant anything.

Denying foreign actors access to UK companies secrets isn't in under economic advantage?

Ours actually has that in there (especially for govt entities and suppliers), as does (theoretically) NSA.

Fantasy world where they have been breeding dragons to be smaller and smaller until they have little toy dragons that can sit in your lap and are popular among noble ladies and if you leave them unattended in a home they will gather up all the low denomination change under dressers and such and push them into a corner to make a tiny $4.78 hoard to sit on

    It is clearly not compatible with the Debian Free Software Guidelines, so Debian will not ship a redis with the new license. So if a software project wants to be installable on Debian without third party deps, switch to a fork or replacement.

    Ubuntu might make redis snaps installable, but I doubt it'll be available as a core package. Also if there isn't a Debian package available, it might be up to the redis project to maintain such a snap.

    @doktorzjivago Men det är väl bara att säga att det är upp till regionerna att lösa på egen hand, förutom transporterna som trafikverket får förmånen att lösa inom befintlig budget? Ansvar är ju för nån annan.

    @kushal Yes, we just accepted that propsal after the CFP closure.

    @kushal It is still a work in progress by the CFP evaluators, I hope they finish this week.

    maswan,
    @maswan@mastodon.acc.sunet.se avatar

    @kushal CFP klar den här veckan, bygga preliminärt schema nästa vecka.

    Parallellt ska jag prata med sponsorer och bygga en budget (för att bestämma avgift), men jag hoppas att det blir klart i mitten av mars.

    maswan,
    @maswan@mastodon.acc.sunet.se avatar

    @kushal BTW, jag ska säga att jag inte är i utvärderingsgruppen själv eftersom jag också hanterar sponsorer, och det vill jag hålla lite avstånd mellan.
