I agree with every idea @samvie advocates for here.

A European digital sovereignty movement that is all based on close source European owned solutions vs American tech is not the solution. That’s trading one dependency for another.

The solution is open protocols and offerings not owned by any single company. #opensocialweb #opensource #ooenprotocol

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-71438 - Out-of-Bounds Read in GPAC/MP4Box

Processing a crafted AC-4 stream with an invalid `frame_rate_index` triggers an out-of-bounds read in `gf_odf_ac4_cfg_dsi_v1`, causing MP4Box to crash.

Summary:
The `gf_odf_ac4_cfg_dsi_v1` function in `odf/descriptors.c` uses a stream-supplied `frame_rate_index` to index into fixed-size lookup tables (`AC4_SAMPLE_DELTA_TABLE_48`, `AC4_MEDIA_TIMESCALE_48`). The function does not validate that the index is within bounds before performing the table lookup. A crafted AC-4 file carrying an out-of-range index (e.g., 15) causes an out-of-bounds read, ultimately resulting in a NULL dereference and process crash.

CWE:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds Read

Affected Component:
```
odf/descriptors.c:2179
Function: gf_odf_ac4_cfg_dsi_v1()
```

Affected Product:
MP4Box (GPAC Multimedia Open Source Project)

Affected Version:
2.5-DEV-rev1617-g856674b22-master; commit `856674b226d6cbe28a941ad223be38194cbf7d37`. Any codebase equivalent to this commit that has not applied the fix commit is affected.

Attack Conditions:
An attacker supplies a specially crafted AC-4 stream file containing an invalid `frame_rate_index` value. Local access is required; the victim must invoke `MP4Box -dash 100 <crafted_file>` or any equivalent DASH segmentation command that triggers the AC-4 configuration descriptor parsing path.

Impact:
The out-of-bounds read leads to an immediate process crash (SEGV READ at address 0x000000000000), resulting in Denial of Service. No evidence of arbitrary code execution was observed.

Fix / mitigation status:
The issue was fixed in GPAC commit:
```
13eb5b76560aaf7813b865a2ad433258478e2695
```
Users should update to a GPAC build containing this commit or later.

Guten Morgen

CachyOS Settings ist kein Fenster und kein Programm zum Anklicken. Der Name führt in die Irre. Es ist eine Sammlung von Voreinstellungen, die bei der Installation mitkommt und beim Hochfahren greift. Sie liegen verteilt unter /usr/lib und /etc, im Alltag bekommst du sie fast nie zu sehen.

Ein großer Teil betrifft den Arbeitsspeicher. CachyOS legt einen komprimierten Auslagerungsbereich im RAM an, ungefähr so groß wie der verbaute Speicher. Wird es eng, packt der Kernel die Daten mit zstd zusammen, statt sie sofort auf die Festplatte zu schreiben. Dieser Bereich wird vor einer Partition auf der Platte genutzt. Dazu kommen eine hohe Neigung, ihn früh zu füllen, und Werte für den Dateicache und das Zurückschreiben auf das Laufwerk. Auf schwachen Geräten fällt das stärker auf als auf großen.

Auch bei den Startzeiten wird nachgeholfen. Dienste bekommen kürzere Fristen, damit ein hängender Prozess nicht minutenlang blockiert. Das Systemprotokoll darf höchstens 50 MB groß werden, Absturzabbilder verschwinden nach drei Tagen, und die Zahl gleichzeitig offener Dateien wird angehoben. So sammelt sich über Monate kein Ballast an.

Dann sind da noch viele kleine Regeln für den Alltag. Eine Prioritätshilfe gibt Anwendungen je nach Aufgabe eine passende Priorität, udev wählt passend zum Laufwerkstyp eine Warteschlange für das Lesen und Schreiben, die Audioenergiesparfunktion bleibt am Netzteil aus, damit der Ton nicht knackt, und die Zeit synchronisiert sich über Cloudflare. Dazu kommen Vorgaben für Touchpad, DNS, WLAN und Grafiktreiber.

Der Gedanke dahinter ist ein Rechner, der nach der Installation ohne Nacharbeit läuft, auch für Spiele und Multimedia. Zaubern kann das nicht, es sind viele einzelne Entscheidungen, die dir jemand vorher abgenommen hat. Ändern kannst du sie trotzdem, am besten mit eigenen Dateien unter /etc, damit ein Update die Anpassung nicht überschreibt.

Welche Grundeinstellung hat dich bei deiner Distribution schon einmal überrascht?

The PHP Foundation says first signs of the flaw behind CVE-2026-109618 appeared in 2024, and the fix then stalled for months: "a structural failure." PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 and 8.2.35 fix it and CVE-2026-109619, both unauthenticated RCE (CVSS 9.2). It says Chainguard broke the embargo 6+ hours early; Chainguard's CEO told The Register he shipped because vendors reported exploitation. AWS saw a honeypot attempt on Oct 17.

Hej wszystkim! Czas na ponowne #introduction.

Znowu mnie poniosło i przeniosłem się (a raczej wróciłem) ze swojej instancji #Akkoma na #GoToSocial. Tak, wiem - za dużo kombinuję i eksperymentuję... W zwiazku z tym aby tradycji stało się zadość wrzucam nieco odświeżone introduction.

Jeśli miałbym określić swoje priorytety w trzech słowach, to brzmiały by tak: niezależność, prywatność i bezpieczeństwo (kolejność nieprzypadkowa )

Hobbystycznie bawię się w #selfhosting, czyli staram się hostować samodzielnie co tylko mogę i na ile mi wystarcza na to czasu.

Jestem "adwokatem" #opensource  używam otwartych rozwiązań gdzie tylko mogę. Właściwie to na każdym urządzeniu, które posiadam w domu (szczegóły w profilu).

Poza tym lubię eksperymentować ze wszystkim, pod co mogę się podpiąć - nawet odkurzacze.

Moim największym wrogiem jest czas, a raczej jego deficyt, ale w miarę możliwości wracam zarówno na fedi jak i na swoje blogi.

W wolnych chwilach jak już uda mi się odkleić od ekranu, wciąga mnie dobra lektura. Poza tym lubię sporty zarówno zimowe jak i letnie, czyli góry i jeziora o każdej porze roku, odpowiednio z buta lub na desce, wpław lub na łyżwach.

🛠️ Tool
===================

Statecraft: Israel is a free, open-source, turn-based strategy game about governing the State of Israel. The player takes the role of prime minister on 15 May 1948 and operates inside a historically grounded coalition. The publisher states that every historical fact in the game carries a cited source and that no quotes are invented. The project went public three days ago, currently sits at v0.1.x, and its documentation is explicit about design status, licensing and AI use.

Core loop

Each turn represents one month. The build ships 44 monthly turns, from 15 May 1948 to 15 January 1952. In a turn the player reviews the country, issues orders and ends the turn. Orders consume a resource called Attention, shown in the top bar; it refills every turn and unused points do not carry over, which forces prioritization.

Main systems:
• Ministers and coalition: appoint and replace real figures such as David Ben-Gurion, Eliezer Kaplan and Moshe Sharett.
• Budget: allocate a tiny budget between security, immigrant absorption, the ma'abarot transit camps and austerity.
• Security: a five-level escalation ladder, from routine threats to full war.
• Cities: click a city on the real map to see housing and jobs, then set how many of its residents are in work.
• Event cards: each card asks for a decision; a card left unanswered goes, at End turn, to the responsible minister.
• Why? panel: after each turn it lists every change and its cause, which is where the sourced-facts approach pays off.

Historical decision points appear at their real dates: the First Truce, the Altalena affair and the Bernadotte assassination are the named examples in the documentation.

Technical implementation
• Built with Unity and packaged as an HTML5 build that runs in the browser; game saves live in the browser.
• Licensing is split: code under MIT, assets under CC BY 4.0, content under CC BY-SA 4.0.
• AI disclosure: code written with AI coding agents and reviewed through automated tests and review gates; some images are AI-generated, notably the start screen painting, while event photographs are archival.
• 3D models credited to Tal Heuberger.
• Content note from the developer: the game treats war, terror and the Holocaust as historical events, with an Israeli framing, cited facts and no invented quotes.

Recent movement

The development log shows v0.1.3, published hours ago, adding a first-turn guide, objectives, sound and Hebrew event cards. A full Hebrew version is planned.

Use cases
• History and civics education: sourced facts plus outcome explanations plausibly support classroom discussion, assuming the simulation's balance holds.
• Serious game design reference: a working example of a management simulation around political tradeoffs rather than combat.
• Open-source contribution: sources, roadmap and bug reports are published, and CONTRIBUTING.md is stated as the entry point for helpers.

Limitations, per the author

This is an early prototype (v0.1.1). Some art is placeholder. The larger design, meaning units under the player's command, plus cities and construction, is still being built. Note: haven't tested personally; this summary relies on the project's own documentation and dev log.

We analyzed thousands of Codex sessions across our Patch the Planet work and built patching-bugs, a plugin that reproduces a bug on a running build, writes the fix, and proves it: the original code fails, the patch passes, and a revert brings the bug back.

Then regression-hunt, our second new plugin, checks what the fix broke. Install both and run them on your next bug report.

Europe's digital estate is largely rented, not owned, and US law follows the landlord. My January piece on the kill-switch takes the aid sector as the test case: an NGO coordinating relief under a sanctions regime could have its tools cut off by someone else's foreign policy, and its case files on vulnerable people sit within reach of US warrants.

The plan runs in three parts: a sovereign desktop pilot for European NGOs on open-source tools, an EU cloud scheme made mandatory for sensitive data, and binding safe corridors for essential services so exit stays possible.

There is a subset of the Linux/open source community that consists of psycho right-wingers who treat their software preferences like culture war bullshit and it’s actually kind of sad to run into them. How can someone could get so entirely detached from reality like that? Like, no I do not care whether or not GNOME/systemd/Wayland/etc is “woke” and if you do then you should seek out psychiatric help immediately

Wollte mir unter CachyOS ein Alias im gewohnten Linux-Mint-Stil anlegen. Hat nicht auf Anhieb funktioniert.

Look at PHP Foundation @phpc finances:

Compare these numbers with the amounts companies have made with products & services built upon #PHP. Our digital foundations are built on the backs of #opensource volunteers. Governments & companies need to invest in our common digital infrastructures.

CachyOS Hello ist das Willkommensfenster, das sich nach der Installation beim ersten Anmelden öffnet. Später findest du es im Startmenü wieder. Es bündelt die wichtigsten ersten Schritte an einer Stelle, damit du nicht durch mehrere Programme suchen musst.

Der Bereich Optimierungen zeigt dir einzelne Dienste mit einer kurzen Beschreibung. Du kannst Bluetooth einschalten, RAM für Browserprofile nutzen, Prozesse bei knappem Speicher beenden lassen, die Prozessprioritäten automatisch anpassen oder einen Hinweis auf Updates im Benachrichtigungsfeld aktivieren. Jeder Schalter lässt sich später wieder ausschalten.

Die Dienstprogramme decken typische Reparaturen und Wartungsaufgaben ab. Dazu gehören eine Aktualisierung des Systems, das Entfernen verwaister Pakete, das Leeren des Zwischenspeichers, das Bewerten der Mirrors, das Zurücksetzen der Schlüsselringe und notfalls eine Neuinstallation aller Programme. Dort sitzen auch die Einstellungen für DNS und die Hilfen bei hängenden Updates.

Der letzte Punkt installiert zusätzliche Anwendungen aus einer sortierten Liste. Für den Einstieg reicht meist ein Blick auf die Schalter und eine Aktualisierung. Ich habe beim ersten Öffnen nur geschaut und später einzelne Punkte ausprobiert. Warst du am Anfang mutiger und hast gleich etwas umgestellt?

Well, it happened. My first security update for my first serious app.

This week the private keys of eight intermediate CA certificates leaked. Browsers blocked them within hours, but software that ships its own certificate list needs its own update. Mine does, so v0.3.4 is out.

Somehow it feels like a rite of passage.

Spell checking without sending everything you type to the cloud

A grammar checker in the browser reads everything you write: mails, chat messages, internal documents, notes about customers. With most tools, all of that goes to a vendor's cloud.

For a long time, LanguageTool was the friendly exception. Its checking engine is open source (LGPL-2.1), it is still actively developed, and you can run it on your own machine. The browser add-on took a different path:

- 2019: the add-on became closed source. The team said they had to pay people to work on it.
- April 2023: Learneo, the parent company of QuillBot, bought LanguageTool. The open-source engine was promised to stay unaffected, and so far it has.
- March 2026: the browser extension became Premium-only. After a 14-day trial, it stops underlining mistakes for free users. The reason given: "The rise of generative AI has made it more challenging to sustainably monetize our offering." Free users are pointed to QuillBot.

So I built Inkling. It is an open-source (Apache-2.0) extension for Chrome and Firefox that talks only to the LanguageTool server you choose. It needs no account and has no trial. It is a fork of the browser extension of Harper by Automattic. The Harper team did the hard work of placing marks correctly in Google Docs and the common rich-text editors.

Running your own server takes one command:

podman run -d -p 8010:8010 docker.io/erikvl87/languagetool

(Docker works the same way.) Then install Inkling, enter http://localhost:8010 and click "Save and Test". Your text never leaves your laptop. A team can also share one server on its internal network.

Chrome: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/inkling/lncfkjkgeoepkinifaggpblhpbenemej
Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/inkling/
Source: https://github.com/oetiker/inkling

Thanks to the LanguageTool developers for keeping the engine open, and to the Harper team for the browser integration.

As I reflected on what I experienced at #FOSDEM, the idea of organizing a devroom dedicated to #diversity was born.

Together with @Gina @_elena we submitted the proposal to organise a #DEI devroom at #FOSDEM27. It got rejected. 😢💔

Every year we leave #FOSDEM inspired by the people we meet & the passion for #opensource. And every year we also find ourselves thinking about how much greater it could be if more people with different perspectives were part of those conversations.

Brigade 0.30.0 is out. It's my open source tool for tracking and verifying work across coding agents, and as of this release the agents can message each other through one hub.

If you let agents touch real repos: each one can now get a charter saying what it owns, what it must never touch, and how work reaches it. An owners page shows each charter beside its live claims and sessions. Work no charter matches lands in Unassigned.

https://git.brigade.tools

#OpenSource #AIAgents #DevSecOps

Alt...

Slide titled "Every agent gets a charter." A card for Grok Bot, labeled as a charter in the fleet policy. Owns: issues labeled build-approved, and merging its own green PRs. Never touches: deploys, releases, secrets. How work reaches it: an approval label and a builder wake webhook. Beside it, a Live work card lists claims, Grok Bot jobs, sessions, and delegations. A dashed card below reads "Unassigned: work no charter matches." Footer: Brigade 0.30.0, /deck/owners.

Alt...

Slide titled "Codex Cloud, on your board," subtitled "Every task holds a hub lease from launch to finish." Five steps left to right: Lease (hub grants a slot), Submit (sent to Codex), Bind (task id on lease), Renew (while it runs), Release (slot freed). Below: "You get the status and the diff back. Nothing applies until you choose."

Alt...

Diagram titled "Grok Bot dispatches, then gets woken." An arrow from Grok Bot (dispatches the work) to a T3 Code thread on your machine is labeled "Writes the prompt, picks repo, host and seat." The thread feeds a Watcher that checks on a timer, and an arrow from the Watcher back to Grok Bot is labeled "Wakes on finish or question."

Alt...

Slide titled "Cloud agents stay tracked," subtitled "Leases last 6 hours after bind. Jules PRs land when they merge." Jules row: Launch, Bound with a 6-hour lease, Opens PR, PR merges, Landed. Cursor row: Launch, Bound with a 6-hour lease.

Again, my apologies for the delay! Traveling without a laptop and then realizing I needed to rework MacPorts' Makefile.patch made this take a lot longer than I would customarily prefer as far as down streaming latency goes.

In unrelated news: Denver now has FOUR Wax Trax Records locations! Mile High DJ Supply's spot in Arvada has a turntable set up reminiscent of DJ Q*Bert's Octagon (facilitatin 4 skratch deejays jammin together with 8 turntables and 4 mixers feedin into one sound system). The Colorado Symphony's performance of compositions they commissioned by Joe Hisaishi was wonderful! Though, Hisaishi was apparently unable to travel to conduct. Here's hoping he will not have difficulties with future travel plans and will be conducting at the SF Symphony for "Hisaishi conducts Hisaishi" since I have a ticket to one of those three shows later this week.

Anthropic's free OSS Scanner sends enrolled projects model-generated vulnerability reports without human review. It says so itself.

I just enrolled Sulu (PR #597). Getting in took a checklist, a CLA and a case-by-case decision. The reports that follow skip all of that. Finding a vulnerability got nearly free; checking one is still a maintainer's job.

Guten Morgen

Der CachyOS Kernel Manager ist ein grafisches Werkzeug für die verschiedenen Kernel. Du siehst eine Liste der verfügbaren Varianten, etwa den Standardkernel, eine LTS Variante mit längerem Support, einen für Leistung, einen für Echtzeit, einen gehärteten oder einen für Server. Ein Häkchen setzen, auf Ausführen drücken, und das Paket kommt aus den normalen CachyOS Quellen. Beim Entfernen nimmst du das Häkchen wieder weg.

Unter Konfigurieren stellst du dir einen eigenen Kernel zusammen, mit Scheduler, Taktfrequenz und weiteren Optionen. Danach baut das Werkzeug die Pakete und installiert sie nach deiner Bestätigung. Für den Alltag reicht meist der vorhandene Kernel, für Neugierige ist der Baukasten aber interessant.

Hast du schon einmal einen anderen Kernel ausprobiert?

This is my first time manufacturing a circuit board with PCBWay. It's pretty cool how you can see every step of production live. It's a breakout board for flashing the Valetudo firmware onto a vacuum robot. It's supposed to be delivered from China by Friday, which is crazy to me.

I would have preferred to get it done in Europe, but the Chinese were cheaper, faster, and had no issues with manufacturing a non-standard thickness of 1.2 mm. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Any recommendations?

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/35701

It has been merged!

I didn't finish my MacPorts' update to snac yet, because the Makefile patch broke and I've been scampering around all day with a rental car more or less putting all the vinyl I purchased from the Kishi Bashi, AMP Festival, and Denver Wax Trax into storage.

I sincerely need to overhaul my storage unit with much better vinyl storage and that requires time and money, neither of which I seem to have in abundance, just the opposite. ;(

I'll hopefully have more opportunity to fix the Makefile patch for MacPorts' snac tomorrow? I'm currently doing laundry (no more clean clothes and I did laundry while I was in Montreal too! I travel lightly, yet that means I don't have an enormous wardrobe either and due to attempting to air dry my clothes to maximize their longevity? I may be wearing the same outfit I am presently wearing for another day or two.)

I'm exceedingly grateful that rueda posted a Got release announcement to undeadly.org at least! I was planning on that yet, clearly have been burning the candle at all ends as it were.

There are proper lyrics in the description - the YT-auto-gen-CC ones are rubbish.
