You have to understand that discovering that #Linux and every bit of critical #opensource software (#Firefox, #libreoffice) have been slopped is like after finally ditching cars for public transport you discover that it’s been bought out by by a combination of private equity, EA, Nēstle, Monsanto, CocaCola, _and_ Lockheed Martin, whereupon they fired every qualified driver and replaced them with an Uber-like gig economy where your train driver today is Gareth who once played some weird Japanese train game on a PS2 emulator one time but has an “Outstanding” 97.6% rating.

I just wanted to get somewhere and get stuff done. This isn’t my fight, this isn’t my day job. I already did my part by ditching Windows and now you want me to sort out your problem you so utterly failed to prevent when you breathlessly announced the partnership as “Strengthening the Community”.

Fuck you and the rent economy you rode in on, I’m not your goddamned saviour and I certainly don’t contribute to fashtech, which you now are.

@penguinrebellion Signal is not good.

They seem to absolutely love/adore Google, Apple, and Amazon. So much that they even hide the APK page on their website and only promote Google Play Store or App Store. Try find it on their website without using a search engine. Spoiler: you will fail.

And when you finally find the download APK page, Signal states it is "safer and easier" to get Signal on Google Play Store or the App Store. Easier? Yes. But safer? Only in your dreams.

They love/adore Google and Apple so much that creating an account without a phone number requires you to give your full legal name, home address, phone number, and credit card information to either Google or Apple (depending on what device you use).

And Signal love privacy and values yours, too. Oh, the irony.

So no, I would not recommend Signal other than Signal Protocol. Good news: OMEMO (the encryption method in XMPP) uses Signal Protocol. So with that said, I recommend XMPP instead of the Big Tech loving Signal.

Four researchers built a tool to test the citations in a large number of scholarly articles. In this study, they used it to show how many fabricated citations they found in a random sample of 500,000 peer-reviewed articles.
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2623869123

I'm interested in the frequency of fake citations. But right now I'm more interested in the fact that the tool is not #OpenSource. One good reason is that it depends in part on #Claude. But the authors did not share their Claude prompts or any of the non-Claude code they wrote to supplement Claude.

They do make three gestures toward openness here though. (1) They wrote analysis code to help crunch their data, and they're willing to share that analysis code on request. (2) They offer to share the tool code with reviewers and editors on request, presumably to aid in the peer-review of their article. But they don't make the same offer to researchers who want to test the tool or use it for new studies. (3) In Appendix 01 they give pseudocode for the citation-testing tool, but not the actual code.

Motivated researchers could use the pseudocode to create their own tool. But it would likely differ in details from the tool used here, blocking attempts at precise replication.

More important, the lack of open code for testing citations prevents the critique and improvement of that code, and slows the evolution of standardized methods for testing citations.

Do really all those who generate security reports really expect the recipients to really read that wall of text they ship? Text they most likely didn't even care to read themselves?

What kind of stupidity are we racing towards? It's just so tempting to just flat-out reject LLM generated wall-of-text-reports these days.

Below is some really*valuable inforrmation* received in one such report ...

This report didn't kill just a kitten. It killed a village of kittens.

Security reports these days is a farse and pure tragedy. It just drains the last pieces of energy to care about processing security reports.

Will be bombing that thing off of my phone ASAP. At first, I was loving the interface, but they are down with the sloppiness and that is a shame. Glad that I didn't donate to the project, otherwise I would've lived with that regret for a while.

You know what would be a super awesome and useful thing to do with the AI that’s great at finding holes but sucks at fixing them?

What if instead of scanning code for vulnerabilities, we used #ai to scan for misuse of open source code and forced companies to pull products, release them for free, or got #eff or similar group to sue companies and use the proceeds to fund open source developers?

I'm looking forward to getting translation contributions, help with RTL support, and further improving accessibility (we do support WCAG and accessibility friendly layouts, themes and support).

It's a Nuxt app with typescript, tailwind and tanstack!

In this Q3 2026 FreeBSD Journal article, Sven Rüdiger explores how Sylve, a browser-based management interface for FreeBSD, can simplify home lab management by unifying virtual machines, jails, and ZFS storage.

#FreeBSD #FreeBSDJournal #OpenSource #Virtualization #ZFS

I think an issue with the discourse about #OpenSource software accepting or not accepting #AI code is that it's not hard to get code that's passable as human-written - more so if you consider the quality of human-written code that projects sometimes received before #LLM s got reasonably effective. Whether a project accepts AI code or not, it's near inevitable for AI-written code to be submitted and merged.

What do we do about that? I don't know. It feels like projects would need to start requiring license agreements for patches that effectively absolve them of any infringement claims and put it on the (potentially anonymous, otherwise) submitter or something.

I have no idea what I'm going to do with my own small projects (which have no PRs). It's something I've been thinking about though. I hope other projects are too.

Hello Fedora Linux 45! 🎉

Just upgraded my ThinkPad X1 Carbon from F44 to F45, and the upgrade went incredibly smoothly!

Yes, it's still pre-release software. Yes, I'm running it at my own risk. And so far? Absolutely rock solid!

Some highlights:
- Tighter security: ptrace restricted by default
- Fresh dev stack: Python 3.15, GCC 16.2 & Go 1.27
- kmscon replaces the legacy kernel console
- RPM package signatures enforced by default

Great work, @fedora team! ❤️

Yeah, I'm not too worried about "agent swarms".

Given where models get their training data, your swarms will be coordinating and cooperating like the open source community does.

so 'agents' seem just as likely to get into each other's way.

It's any piping of LLM output to the terminal of an internet-connected computer that's the issue.

On one side, FairScan (Kotlin, GPL v3). On the other, Ente Locker (Rust): no copyright notice, no mention of FairScan in the file.

🎯 AI
===================

A new piece by Utku Sen explains how LLM-based penetration testing harnesses work and why the situation changed recently. The argument is that the shift is plumbing, not a new exploit class: what matters is what lets an LLM act on a live target.

The mechanics

An LLM is a text generator. Give it a task like pentest example.com, credentials in credentials.txt and it can only emit text describing intent, for example Read credentials.txt, open example.com. The harness is the code that parses that output, executes the requested actions, and returns results so the model can iterate. Without a harness, nothing happens.

The author's analogy comes from apartment buildings in Turkey: residents leave notes with errands, the janitor runs them without thinking and returns with results. The LLM is the resident, the harness is the janitor.

Claude Code as reference

The model (Opus/Sonnet) produces text only. Claude Code is the software that contains the harness: logic for reading and writing files, executing commands, spawning subagents, managing context windows, using skills, and interacting with MCP servers. Open-source harnesses like Opencode and Pi follow the same pattern and accept different models.

Why static analysis was always tolerated

LLMs have found vulnerabilities in codebases for a long time because nearly all guardrails allow it: static analysis only, no interaction with a live system, and there were already plenty of open-source harnesses and skills for that purpose. Frontier models also support dynamic testing on a live website, but only after confirming you own the target, and they refuse targets you cannot prove.

What changed

1. Per the author, open-source models, DeepSeek especially in its uncensored variant, are now good at finding vulnerabilities through dynamic testing, and they do not gate on target ownership. Presented as the author's assessment, not a benchmark.
2. Open-source dynamic pentest harnesses now exist, which was not the case before.
3. Combination: a refusal-free open model plus a ready-made harness removes the provider permission flow from the equation.

The named harnesses

The article analyzes three harnesses mentioned in media coverage of recent hacks: Artex and Cairn are Chinese-made, Strix is US-based. The text reviewed here ends before the per-harness deep dive, so concrete capabilities of each remain unconfirmed.

Caveats

The DeepSeek claims lack independent verification in the piece. Uncensored means refusal training removed, a policy change rather than added capability. Frontier ownership gates are likewise policy controls, so the meaningful change is procedural: dynamic agentic testing no longer depends on a provider signing off.

Operational takeaway for defenders: treat external-facing assets as reachable by automated agents running commodity tooling, and weight raw unauthenticated exposure higher.

It's sad that a modern desktop can't run well on 4 GB RAM. Tonight we visited a woman who studies on a university online; I had put together a 4 GB RAM #Linux laptop for her last year (optimized #linuxmint takes 1 GB of RAM on a cold boot). She's constantly swapping with #LibreOffice, browser, and 1-2 more apps. Everything crawls, even if things were actually worse when it was running Win10. I just wish devs optimized more in general. 4 GB should have been enough.
