✨ boosts appreciated ✨
Dear Masto-friends,
I'd like to start following people that aren't #linux enthusiasts, and don't talk about games all the time.
Any recommendations?
I was today years old when I learned that #sudo actually changed their logo (https://www.sudo.ws/about/logo/) because of #XKCD 149 (https://xkcd.com/149/).
Love it.

We at @Vivaldi continue to be the only browser company all in on Mastodon and the Fediverse.
We have made our own instance, Vivaldi Social. Any user that has a Vivaldi account for sync or other services, can easily enable a presence on Vivaldi Social.
We have integrated Mastodon as a Web panel into Vivaldi.
We include links to Vivaldi Social into Vivaldi.
We also work on integrating our blogs and forums into the Fediverse.
We hope others will follow. Mozilla has talked a lot and we hope they will join us fully soon.

Upgrade your systems now!
The xz package has been backdoored
https://archlinux.org/news/the-xz-package-has-been-backdoored/
I think a LOT of people are missing the fact that we got LUCKY with this malicious backdoor.
The backdoor was created by an Insider Threat - by a developer / maintainer of various linux packages. The backdoor was apparently pushed back on March 8th (I believe) and MADE IT PAST all QA checks.
Let me state that again. Any quality assurance, security checks, etc., failed to catch this.
This was so far upstream, it had already gotten into the major Linux distributions. It made it into Debian pre-release, Fedora rolling, OpenSUSE rolling, Kali rolling, etc.
This is an example of Supply Chain Security that CISOs love to talk and freak out about. This is an example of an Insider Threat that is the boogey man of corporate infosec.
A couple more weeks, and it would have been in many major distributions without any of us knowing about it.
The ONLY reason we know about it is because @AndresFreundTec got curious about login issues and some benchmarking checks that had nothing to do with security and ran the issue down and stumbled upon a nasty mess that was trying to remain hidden.
It was luck.
That's it. We got lucky this time.
So this begs the question. Did the malicious insider backdoor anything else? Are they working with anyone else who might have access to other upstream packages? If the QA checks failed to find this specific backdoor by this specific malicious actor, what other intentional backdoors have they missed?
And before anyone goes and blames Linux (as a platform or as a concept), if this had happened (if it HAS happened!!!) in Windows, Apple, iOS, etc.... we would not (or will not) know about it. It was only because all these systems are open source that Andres was able to go back and look through the code himself.
Massive props and kudos and all the thank yours to Andres, those who helped him, to all the Linux teams jumping on this to fix it, and to all the folks on high alert just before this Easter weekend.
I imagine (hope) that once this gets cleaned up, there will be many fruitful discussions around why this passed all checks and what can be changed to prevent it from happening again.
(I also hope they run down any and all packages this person had the signing key for....)
A good time to be a Linux users. -- Microsoft is adding ads onto the desktop in Windows 11.

It is pretty bad when even your server wants to install Snaps when using Ubuntu.
That is both pathetic and sad.
Here marks my end of support for Ubuntu, because I am not going to be dealing with what is becoming the Microsoft of Linux.

Interestingly , I don't know many #Linux users who actually daily drive it on their desktops. I'm sure there's a higher amount of users here in the Fediverse, but even then, its still low.. unless maybe you count WSL as the only good linux on a desktop environment :)
Also interestingly I was talking to an SRE at work and he was going on about "isn't BSD dying or dead?" mostly due to pfSense planning to Migrate away along with TrueNas Core switching.. interesting view.
What kind of user are you?

TIL Fedora is packaging a web browser app I developed for elementary OS and marked as end-of-life over two years ago, yet it happily shows up in Fedora 40 if you search my name. It crashes on launch, so it doesn’t even work…
WHY??
some people were saying #linux is insecure, even less than Windows
where do these claims come from? are they true? what can we users do? #security #cybersecurity
