Cloudflare outage 18th november 2025

The war on privacy and encryption goes on. This time in the UK. Under the “Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill”, lawmakers now want client-side scanning on every phone and tablet.

The lawmakers write: “Any relevant device supplied for use in the UK must have installed tamper-proof system software which is highly effective at preventing the recording, transmitting (by any means, including livestreaming) and viewing of CSAM using that device.”

As there seems to have been recent confusion about this, just a quick "official" toot to then pin: we haven't and won't support "generative AI" related stuff in LibreWolf. If you see some features like that (like Perplexity search recently, or the link preview feature now) it is solely because it "slipped through". As soon as we become aware of something like this / it gets reported to us, we will remove/disable it ASAP.

Huh. I did not know YouTube has a size limit on Watch Later.
Leave it to an AuDHDer to find it, eh.

You can have 5000 videos you've gaslit yourself in to being confident you will later watch.

Executive dysfunction is a core component of ADHD and often involved in autism, depression, bipolar, and OCD.

It's a big barrier with widely ranging impacts, from struggles getting started to being unable to stop, from memory issues to indecision.

But, what exactly is executive dysfunction? 🧵

End of Japanese community at Mozilla due to the introduction of AI-based translation.

The community members have expressed disappointment and frustration that their long term volunteer efforts and local knowledge were being replaced by machine translation, which they felt did not match the quality of human provided support.

This is why Mozilla sucks so much, they are going crazy like rest of the industry.

A screenshot of support.mozilla.org Forum name: SUMO community discussions Title: End of Japanese community Text by user named marsf that reads: Hi, I am a locale leader of SUMO Japanese community. I have contributed to the Support over 20 years, before the beginning of support.mozilla.org. Today, November 4, we decided to end our SUMO Japanese community. In October 22, the sumobot was introduced to Japanese KB articles. I cannot accept its behavior and no words. * It doesn't follow our translation guidelines. * It doesn't respect current localization for Japanese users, so they were lost. * It approves its direct English MT immediately for All archived KB articles. * It approves only in 72 hours after its updates, so we lost our work to train new contributors. * It has been working now without our acceptance, without controls, without communications. * Over 300 Knowledge Base articles are overridden by sumobot. They are all happened on the product server, not on staging server. I understand that this is mass destruction of our work and explicit violation to the Mozilla mission, allowed officially. Therefore, I (marsf) declare: * I quit to contribute to support.mozilla.org. * I prohibit to use all my translation as learning data for SUMO bot and AIs. * I request to remove all my translation from learned data of SUMO AIs. However, individual Japanese contributors may want to work in their responsibility. It is their choice, we don't care nor support. Bye.

Three high severity CVEs in runc announced today https://seclists.org/oss-sec/2025/q4/138, which present a risk of container escape, worth making sure you're patching!

It's not necessarily widely known but runc is a core component in most Kubernetes clusters. Often times you don't install it directly but get it as part of other packages like containerd, but it is there launching all the containers in your cluster.

From a first read through of the advisories, one quote that particularly resonated with me :-

"it is very difficult, if not impossible, to run an untrusted program with root privileges safely."

It's been good advice for a long time to run containers as a non-root user and even where the container needs to run as root, with user namespace support available in Kubernetes, it's a lot easier to avoid the risks of running containers as the host root user!

Hello Fediverse!

We now have an account for Aurora on here :)

Our stable branch is getting ready to move from Fedora 42 to 43, hopefully next week. Also at the same time we are working on our new ISOs that will use the new Anaconda WebUI installer.

We hope to get this to "beta" stage with the F43 stable release.

“Gay furries on Mastodon.”
“What?”
“Well it’s a decentralised social network…”
“No stop are you saying we’re prioritising our cybersecurity activity based on what furries are shitposting?”
“Yes.”

Shocking Windows 3.1 development continues. Now I have win32s, which will allow me to run some Win32 applications on top of DOS and Win16 kernel. Freecell looks like any other app, but it is Win32 app, very MVP.

And IE 5.0 is being installed but still needs a bit of tweaking. It has a 128-bit encryption module, but it's useless, because no one supports SSL anymore.

Note WinRAR behind the IE50 installer.

Episode 66 of Linux Matters: Terminal Full of Sparkles 🐧️🎙️

Ok.. I still need to fill a few gaps, but my sleeper build is working great and honestly has great airflow and temps seem good.

I'm running #bazzite #linux on it and it's running things like Forza horizon on ultra with no thermal issues.

I'm curious, what are some ways to benchmark or stress the system to see the thermal limits of the GPU and CPU? How does one test this besides throwing games at it?

Is there a standard bench-marking tool?
