It isn’t quite in RockyLinux yet, but Rocky has a special security repo for getting updates quicker than the RHEL → Rocky security update path: sudo dnf --enablerepo=security update This is how to get the patched kernel…
It’s fixed in RedHat: https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2026-98432 For RedHat/Rocky 10: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:93413 Also, a mitigation:…
Agreed. Two weeks is pathetic. But, yes, I went over to Ubuntu because they were supposed to provide five years of security updated. When I interviewed with them a couple of years ago, I got the sense there was a lot…
Ubuntu has a timeline for how long they will provide updates for a given long term distribution release. I moved over to Ubuntu back when CentOS was converted in to a Fedora type release without a long term commitment…
Here is Ubuntu’s webpage on this vulnerability: https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-98432 It’s still, over a week after disclosure and patches, unpatched in Ubuntu. As for me, a part of me wants to move over to Rocky…
While Righthaven LLC v. Hoehn did rule that copying and pasting an entire newspaper article is fair use, this ruling was vacated on appeal and instead the lawsuit was nullified because they ruled Righthaven never had…
I agree Numba is great. The reason I stay clear of Python is because the Python2 → Python3 transition burned me; the bureaucrats at Debian decided that, since my open source project had one Python2 script in it I wrote…
LuaJIT handles double, strings, and dictionaries at near C level performance. Also, arrays, but Lua’s data model has dictionaries and arrays be the same data structure. Lua 5.1 (i.e. LuaJIT) only supports double numeric…
One legal way to share news stories which generate controversy is to have an AI make a summary of the article, rewording it to remove any copyright from the article (this legal trick only works when the news site in…
And, indeed, you can use archive.today to get past the login wall: https://archive.ph/HcOq2 (This is a link to the post for this article) (If one’s ISP can’t access archive.today, I find that Firefox’s built in free VPN…
I have moved my more complex scripting from Perl/PHP/Python to Lua for a lot of reasons. One being that Lua (even PUC Lua) is a good deal faster than Python (or /bin/sh); another is that, if I want even more speed, I…
I fixed it with print-color-adjust: background: #eee; print-color-adjust: exact; -webkit-print-color-adjust: exact;
The advantage of a COLR font over SVGs is that they are functionally identical for this use case (indeed, the font in question was converted from SVG vector files) and a good deal more compact to boot.
Having horizontal scroll is annoying, yes, but I don’t think it makes a website unusable on a mobile device. The way to handle elements wide enough to induce horizontal scrolling is to put them in a <div> (or make CSS…
One issue with making websites printable is that printing, by default, removes background colors and images. So, for the chess diagrams I have on my webpage, I use background colors to have the chessboard be a…
I did. It’s perfectly readable. What was the issue you experienced on your phone?
Well done. It’s important to know the difference between a real world exploitable bug and hot air; as an open source maintainer, over half of the bug reports I get are “hot air” bugs.

I’m surprised this level of surveillance from a smart TV (if this is real; right now the only sources are social media) doesn’t open up Samsung to a lawsuit. To wit: There was a lawsuit where Susan Clements-Jeffrey sued…
“Forced” is a little strong. RedHat/Fedora filed a bug report, and I felt it was prudent to have a patch for them to use, even though I explained why they didn’t need to use the patch.
It has hit the point where I’ve told people reporting bugs with my software that I won’t acknowledge the bug unless they provide a patch to mitigate the issue. A lot of these bug reports are incorrectly filed. Let’s…
I’ll bite. I have written a recursive DNS resolver. It’s buggy, mind you, it doesn’t handle improperly configured domains bug-for-bug the way BIND9 does, it doesn’t support IPv6 for resolving records (it can still…
For people looking for the Lexicon 224 which supposedly is on GitHub, here are two possible links: https://github.com/joelanders/reflecticon-224 This one needs actual 224 ROMs to run, but we also have...…
There are some notable improvements, most visibly the slash in 0. From https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode “Fira Code is not only about ligatures. Some fine-tuning is done for punctuation and frequent letter pairs.” Note…
Considering the way `/bin/sh` had a bunch of different implementations before POSIX standardization minimized that in the mid-1990s, I wouldn’t be surprised if one of those distinguished spaces from tabs. That said, the…
