Kachelfenster und ich sind nie richtig Freunde geworden. Ich habe es mehrfach probiert, jedes Mal mit der besten Absicht, aber nach ein paar Tagen bin ich wieder bei den schwebenden Fenstern gelandet. Der Einstieg ist steil, bis die vielen Tastenkürzel im Kopf bleiben, vergeht eine Weile, und in dieser Zeit fühlt sich jeder Handgriff wie Suchen an. Ständig fehlte mir die gewohnte Bewegung mit der Maus, mit der ich ein Fenster einfach greife und dorthin ziehe, wo ich es gerade brauche. Bei mehreren Monitoren wurde es dann endgültig unübersichtlich, ich verlor den Überblick, auf welchem Bildschirm ein Fenster gerade liegt.
Den Reiz sehe ich trotzdem. Für jemanden, der den ganzen Tag im Terminal arbeitet, viele Fenster gleichzeitig offen hält und alles über die Tastatur steuert, ist so ein festes Raster ein echter Gewinn. Da sitzt jeder Handgriff, nichts verdeckt etwas anderes, und die Effizienz ist deutlich höher. Mein Alltag ist aber breiter gestreut, mal Browser, mal Bildbearbeitung, mal ein kurzer Blick in eine Datei. Da war mir das strenge Raster zu sehr auf einen Arbeitsstil zugeschnitten. Vielleicht ist es eine Frage der Gewohnheit, doch ich glaube inzwischen, dass ein Kachelsystem eher etwas für Profis ist, die ihren Rechner beruflich auf ein Ziel hin nutzen. Für mich als Privatanwender war die Umstellung zu groß und der Gewinn zu selten.
Wie nutzt du deinen Bildschirm, lieber gekachelt und aufgeräumt oder frei und schwebend?

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-60479 - NULL Pointer Dereference in GPAC/MP4Box
Processing a crafted MPEG-4 file with broken BIFS vector fields triggers a NULL pointer dereference in `StatSFVec2f`, causing MP4Box to crash during scene statistics collection.
Summary:
The `StatSFVec2f` function in `scene_manager/scene_stats.c` collects statistics for SFVec2f fields in an MPEG-4 BIFS scene. When the scene contains a crafted broken vector field, the statistics traversal passes a NULL pointer to `StatSFVec2f` without validation. The function dereferences the pointer at address 0x0, terminating the process with SIGSEGV.
CWE:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Affected Component:
```
scene_manager/scene_stats.c:192
Function: StatSFVec2f()
```
Affected Product:
MP4Box (GPAC Multimedia Open Source Project)
Affected Version:
2.5-DEV-rev1678-gb7ffd9f96-master; commit `b7ffd9f96bc188dde148300d8c4e510b557563aa`. Any codebase equivalent to this commit that has not applied the fix commit is affected.
Attack Conditions:
An attacker supplies a crafted MPEG-4 file containing a malformed BIFS scene with invalid SFVec2f vector field structures. Local access is required; the victim must invoke `MP4Box -nstat <crafted_file>` or any equivalent scene statistics command that triggers the scene analysis path.
Impact:
The NULL pointer dereference (READ at address 0x000000000000) causes an immediate process crash, resulting in Denial of Service. No evidence of arbitrary code execution was observed; the faulting access is a NULL read that is not exploitable for control-flow hijacking.
Fix / mitigation status:
The issue was fixed in GPAC commit:
```
75786eb61b7cc838b57c3d4f8004b4f13b5b724c
```
Users should update to a GPAC build containing this commit or later.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-60489 - NULL Pointer Dereference in GPAC/MP4Box
Processing a crafted MP4 file with corrupted DTS timing metadata triggers a NULL pointer dereference in `dasher_insert_timeline_entry`, causing MP4Box to crash during DASH timeline construction.
Summary:
The `dasher_insert_timeline_entry` function in `filters/dasher.c` accesses timeline entry structures during DASH segment processing. When the input MP4 has corrupted DTS sequence data that produces empty DASH segments, the dasher fails to validate a timeline entry pointer before dereferencing it at address 0xc (12-byte struct offset), leading to a near-NULL read and SIGSEGV.
CWE:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Affected Component:
```
filters/dasher.c:7760
Function: dasher_insert_timeline_entry()
```
Affected Product:
MP4Box (GPAC Multimedia Open Source Project)
Affected Version:
2.5-DEV-rev1692-g23819fdc0-master; commit `23819fdc02be8d3e92f0ef84831625d51981d7d2`. Any codebase equivalent to this commit that has not applied the fix commit is affected.
Attack Conditions:
An attacker supplies a crafted MP4 file whose DTS timing metadata produces empty segments during DASH packaging. Local access is required; the victim must invoke `MP4Box -segment-timeline -dash 10000 <crafted_file>` or any equivalent DASH segmentation command using segment timeline mode.
Impact:
The near-NULL pointer dereference (READ at address 0x00000000000c) causes an immediate process crash, resulting in Denial of Service. No evidence of arbitrary code execution was observed; the faulting access is a near-NULL read that is not exploitable for control-flow hijacking.
Fix / mitigation status:
The issue was fixed in GPAC commit:
```

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-60491 - Use-After-Free in GPAC/MP4Box
Processing a crafted MPEG-2 TS file with corrupted PMT descriptors triggers a heap use-after-free in `dasher_flush_segment`, causing MP4Box to crash during DASH segmentation.
Summary:
The `dasher_configure_pid` function in `filters/dasher.c` frees a PID context structure at line 986 when reconfiguring a stream from a crafted MPEG-TS input. The freed pointer is not nullified, and `dasher_flush_segment` subsequently reads 4 bytes at offset 336 within that freed 1096-byte region at line 8062 during the segment flush cycle, constituting a heap-use-after-free.
CWE:
CWE-416 - Use After Free
Affected Component:
```
filters/dasher.c:8062
Function: dasher_flush_segment()
```
Affected Product:
MP4Box (GPAC Multimedia Open Source Project)
Affected Version:
2.5-DEV-rev1698-gfc2009fa7-master; commit `fc2009fa75631960743f8f7855dda8998167b5ab`. Any codebase equivalent to this commit that has not applied the fix commit is affected.
Attack Conditions:
An attacker supplies a crafted MPEG-2 TS file containing broken PMT descriptor sizes, reused PIDs, and sync marker violations. Local access is required; the victim must invoke `MP4Box -dash 1000 <crafted_file>` or any equivalent DASH segmentation command that triggers PID reconfiguration in the dasher module.
Impact:
The use-after-free (READ of size 4 at 336 bytes into a freed 1096-byte heap region) causes process termination, resulting in Denial of Service. Code execution cannot be ruled out; use-after-free vulnerabilities allow an attacker to control freed memory contents and potentially redirect execution flow.
Fix / mitigation status:
The issue was fixed in GPAC commit:
```

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-60497 - NULL Pointer Dereference in GPAC/MP4Box
Processing a crafted MP4 file with an invalid sample description entry triggers a NULL pointer dereference in `GetESD`, causing MP4Box to crash during scene loading.
Summary:
The `GetESD` function in `isomedia/track.c` retrieves an Elementary Stream Descriptor for a track sample description. When the input MP4 contains an unknown atom type (`avC9`) instead of a valid `avcC` entry in the sample description, the OD (Object Descriptor) loader still attempts to read the ES descriptor via `GetESD`, which dereferences a NULL pointer at address 0x0 without prior validation, terminating the process with SIGSEGV.
CWE:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Affected Component:
```
isomedia/track.c:107
Function: GetESD()
```
Affected Product:
MP4Box (GPAC Multimedia Open Source Project)
Affected Version:
2.5-DEV-rev1780-g50b5741f2-master; commit `50b5741f291126b610c59db433fc02e8a17f0c5d`. Any codebase equivalent to this commit that has not applied the fix commit is affected.
Attack Conditions:
An attacker supplies a crafted MP4 file whose sample description (`stsd`) contains an unrecognized atom type in place of a valid AVC configuration box. Local access is required; the victim must invoke `MP4Box -svg <crafted_file>` or any equivalent scene export command that triggers ISO media scene loading and ESD retrieval.
Impact:
The NULL pointer dereference (READ at address 0x000000000000) causes an immediate process crash, resulting in Denial of Service. No evidence of arbitrary code execution was observed; the faulting access is a NULL read that is not exploitable for control-flow hijacking.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-60494 - NULL Pointer Dereference in GPAC/MP4Box
Processing a crafted MP4 file triggers an invalid memory read in `gf_props_equal_internal` during PID property comparison, causing MP4Box to crash.
Summary:
The `gf_props_equal_internal` function in `filter_core/filter_props.c` compares PID property values using `memcmp`. When importing a crafted MP4 file, the property comparison path at line 867 passes an invalid pointer as one of the `memcmp` arguments; the resulting read-access violation at address 0x11166094 crashes the process with SIGSEGV before the comparison completes.
CWE:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Affected Component:
```
filter_core/filter_props.c:867
Function: gf_props_equal_internal()
```
Affected Product:
MP4Box (GPAC Multimedia Open Source Project)
Affected Version:
2.5-DEV-rev1699-g31becc9e0-master; commit `31becc9e08b88e525a4a62013a4000de1c0f8fd9`. Any codebase equivalent to this commit that has not applied the fix commit is affected.
Attack Conditions:
An attacker supplies a crafted MP4 file containing invalid or truncated ODF descriptors and box structures. Local access is required; the victim must invoke `MP4Box -add <crafted_file>` or any equivalent import command that triggers PID property initialisation and the property comparison path.
Impact:
The invalid memory read (SEGV READ at address 0x000011166094) causes an immediate process crash, resulting in Denial of Service. No evidence of arbitrary code execution was observed; neither MITRE response marks code execution impact for this specific vulnerability.
Fix / mitigation status:

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-60496 - Divide by Zero in GPAC/MP4Box
Splitting a truncated MP4 file with uninitialized stream parameters triggers a divide-by-zero in `reframer_send_packet`, causing MP4Box to crash with SIGFPE.
Summary:
The `reframer_send_packet` function in `filters/reframer.c` computes split boundaries using stream parameters such as timescale and estimated file size. When upstream parsing of a truncated MP4 leaves these values uninitialized (zero), the arithmetic at line 1026 performs a division by zero, raising SIGFPE and terminating the process immediately.
CWE:
CWE-369 - Divide By Zero
Affected Component:
```
filters/reframer.c:1026
Function: reframer_send_packet()
```
Affected Product:
MP4Box (GPAC Multimedia Open Source Project)
Affected Version:
2.5-DEV-rev1780-g50b5741f2-master; commit `50b5741f291126b610c59db433fc02e8a17f0c5d`. Any codebase equivalent to this commit that has not applied the fix commit is affected.
Attack Conditions:
An attacker supplies a truncated MP4 file that causes the ISO media parser to leave stream parameters (timescale, file size estimate, or sample rate) at zero. Local access is required; the victim must invoke `MP4Box -split-size 8000 <crafted_file>` or any equivalent split command that triggers the reframer size-estimation path.
Impact:
The divide-by-zero (SIGFPE) causes an immediate process crash, resulting in Denial of Service. No evidence of arbitrary code execution was observed; floating-point exceptions of this type are not exploitable for control-flow hijacking.
Fix / mitigation status:
The issue was fixed in GPAC commit:

🛡️ secdb-cli 0.7.0 is out.
It's the open source command-line client for ZEN SecDB: CVE lookup, SSVC, and auditing of packages, SBOMs, dependency manifests, Linux hosts and Docker images.
What's new:
- secdb search: full-text search across CVEs, CWEs, security advisories, NASL plugins and ExploitDB entries. Filter by record type and by date, combine terms with OR, exclude them, search exact phrases. CVEs in the CISA KEV catalog are marked, and every result links to its record.
- --jq: filter the JSON output of any command with a jq expression, without installing jq. Handy in CI images and on Windows.
- Safer terminal output: control characters coming from third-party feed data are stripped before they reach your terminal.
Examples:
secdb search fortinet kev:true --since 30d
secdb search '"remote code execution"' --type cve
secdb audit sbom --file bom.json --fail-on high --jq '.[].advisories[].id'

Remember Windows Phone and its iconic Live Tiles? Now imagine that interface… running on Linux instead of Windows.
That’s the idea behind ztOS, a mobile Linux project based on Arch Linux ARM, featuring ztMETRO, an interface inspired by Windows Phone 8.1, and native Linux applications.
It runs on the Samsung Galaxy S9 with a mainline Linux kernel. Wi-Fi, 4G and the touchscreen are already working, but the camera, Bluetooth and call audio still need work.
It’s still in alpha, so it’s nowhere near ready for daily use. But it’s an interesting alternative vision for Linux on smartphones.

Guten Morgen
Ein Tiling Window Manager ordnet die Fenster automatisch, ähnlich wie Kacheln auf einem Boden. Statt sie frei über den Bildschirm zu schieben, teilt er die Fläche selbst auf. Jedes neue Fenster bekommt einen festen Platz, keines verdeckt das andere. Die Maus brauchst du kaum, das meiste läuft über die Tastatur. So bleibt der Bildschirm vollständig gefüllt, ohne Überlappungen und ohne verlorene Fenster. Am Anfang wirkt das streng, doch wer sich daran gewöhnt, will oft nicht mehr zurück.

Als ich anfing, war mir mulmig bei den vielen Lizenznamen. MIT, GPL, Apache, dazu noch Zahlen dahinter, das fühlte sich an wie eine Wand, die ich allein nie überstiegen hätte. Ich hatte Angst, etwas falsch zu machen, und traute mich kaum, fremde Projekte anzufassen. Dann hat mir jemand in einem Forum ruhig erklärt, dass ich zum bloßen Benutzen nichts verstehen muss und die Lizenz erst zählt, wenn ich selbst etwas weitergebe. Diese Ruhe hat mir den Weg geöffnet. Erst später habe ich begriffen, was in diesen trockenen Texten steckt. Ein Versprechen, dass das gemeinsame Werk frei bleibt. Wenn ich heute so eine Datei öffne, denke ich an die Menschen dahinter, die ihre Arbeit geteilt haben, damit ich sie nutzen kann.
Wie ist es dir beim ersten Schritt in die freie Welt ergangen?

I sent more than two years building a macOS app, and after releasing it on the AppStore, sales are really bad.
The app is named ImageFlow, and it is a node-based image and photo editor.
I'm a developer, not a marketing guy. I'm bad at promoting my stuff.
I decided to open-source my app and make it available for everyone.
Hope some people out there can enjoy it as much as I do!

RE: https://mastodon.xyz/@nextcloud/117359711364631730
I can advise the following @fdroidorg apps. Some apps need an additional repository.
* Aegis Authenticator (my preffered 2FA app)
* AntennaPod @AntennaPod (best Android podcast app)
* Breezy Weather (weather app for weather nerds)
* Bubble (IMO the best spirit level/ruler app)
* Celestia (another astronomy app)
* Compressor (suburb video compressor. get those Mastodon video's below 100MB on the road! (or rails) - needs IzzyOnDroid repo: https://android.izzysoft.de/repo.
* Convertor NOW (because those Yankees refuse to use the metric system)
* DAVx @davx5app (best way to link Caldav calendars and Carddav contact books)
* FairEmail (email app for power users. yes, you need to pay a very small fee for pro features)
* Fennec or IronFox (two great Firefox forks) - IronFox needs its own repo: https://ironfoxoss.org/download/#f-droid)
* Fluffychat (IMO the best Matrix client - also for the Linux desktop)
* Fossify Calendar (simple and no bloat. works great with DAVx)
* Fossify Contacts (simple, non bloated contact apps. works great with DAVx)
* Fossify Gallery (my preferred media gallery app, better IMO than the /e/OS default)
* Fossify Messages (simple, non bloated SMS app)
* Fossify Thank You (to donate to the great Fossify project and also with some small extra features)
* Heliboard (IMO best open-source keyboard. hopefully with native gestures ASAP)
* Image Toolbox (this is a power-house to do everything with images - has a learning curve, but it is great!)
* Joplin @joplinapp (best note taking app, better than Nextcloud Notes, because it's end-to-end encrypted)
* KDE Connect (link your phone with your KDE or Gnome (using GSConnect) desktop)
* Lawnchair @lawnchairapp (my preferred Android launcher, because the default /e/OS launcher sucks)
* LibreOffice Viewer (official app to view LibreOffice, OpenOffice and even MS Office documents (if you are into that).
* LibreTorrent (to download Linux ISO torrents on your phone for fun)
* Material Files (a non bloated file manager)
* Metrolist (to play music from YouTube without an account - good alternative for evil Spotify)
* Moshidon @moshidon (although it badly needs an update. the nightly is not yet ready. I still use it, with the web-app installed for quote posts)
* Nearby Glasses (hunt for Meta pervert glasses, but unfortunately not yet found) - needs IzzyOnDroid repo
* Nextcloud News (needs a Nextcloud account)
* Nextcloud (only if you have an account on a Nextcloud server)
* Next Player (simple, non bloated video player) - needs IzzyOnDroid repo
* Nora (great way to sandbox big-tech sites)
* Open Video Editor (the only working open-source video editor for Android, although it is not updated for two years)
* OSMAnd~ (IMO the best @openstreetmap app for Android, although it has a small learning curve)
* Peertube app @peertube (does not need an explanation)
* Pixelfed app @pixelfed (for if you have a Pixelfed account)
* RadioDroid (still IMO the best internet radio app, although not updated for three years)
* Signal @signalapp (I don't have WhatsApp, so you need something 😉) - needs the Guardian Project repo (you only need to toggle this in the F-droid settings)
* Sky Map (the open-source sky view alternative)
* SpamBlocker (because I have an ungoogled phone (/e/OS on Fairphone) I need this. maybe you as well. @murena should build this in, because this app is not very user friendly)
* Torrent Search (to search for Linux ISO torrents)
* Vegan Inspector (checks if products are vegan or vegetarian)
* VLC (does the same has Next Player, but with a (IMO) ugly interface. I keep this installed as an alternative if something doesn't wants to play, but I can't remember when I needed it. get rid of the orange!)
* Voice Audiobook Player (the only one that actually worked with local files)
* Wallabag (Pocket alternative, needs a Wallabag account on a Wallabag server)
* Wikipedia (who doesn't need Wikipedia)
* YTDLnis (download video and audio from YouTube and many other sites using yt-dlp)
1 of 2) )So I downloaded the appimage of Photocraft to try. The AI reversed engineered Photoshop. I'm very anti-AI, and a big reason why I abandoned Adobe - when they forced training their models on their customers work - and had used the software since 1998. But, I had already begun a move into opensource anyway, and this was my final cue to go.
Next week, I’ll be speaking at All Day AI 2026 about something Ive been experimenting with lately: System One models. AI models designed to make decisions fast, without lengthy reasoning.
To explore what they're actually capable of, I built a 3D drone simulator where an AI model has to navigate a forest, avoid obstacles, and react to threats in real time. Ill share what worked, what broke, and what I learned from zero-shot testing, collecting telemetry, and fine-tuning the model. Less theory, more lessons from building things and watching them fail.
Join me on October 22 at 5 PM ET.

Sorry, your article is patronizing me about what attestation is, then explaining that passkeys today don't give websites an attestation at all - though a site can ask. And in so doing, it completely fails to address the main criticism of the "Passkeys are a trap" blog post, i.e. that passkeys are the boiling frog of BigTech control on authentication.
https://nonfunctional.substack.com/p/passkeys-are-a-trap-do-not-use-them
The only point I concede is that TOTP are vulnerable to phishing. And yet, if I really have to choose, I prefer that risk rather than handing over control to Google, Apple, and co. In any case, hardware authenticators like Yubikey / NitroKey are the preferred solution.
Sorry, not convinced. Passkeys are a trap. Do not use them.

p2pchat: looking for experienced devs to help build an offline messenger for the protests in india
We’re working on p2pchat, an open-source phone-to-phone messaging app for keeping people in contact when mobile internet is cut off.
There are mass protests led by the youth that are happening now in India, and internet shutdowns are already part of the response. Mobile internet was suspended around Jantar Mantar in Delhi on 2 October as people gathered to protest. Internet Society’s shutdown record documents it. Losing connectivity makes it harder to find people, coordinate and share information at the time you need to.
That’s why we used “vibecoding” to get a prototype together quickly. We started from an existing open-source Bluetooth messaging app and used AI-assisted coding to build on it. We wanted people to have actual code to inspect and test while these protests are happening. Now we need experienced human developers to review the code and help with the parts that handle people’s messages and identities.
The current prototype uses Bluetooth Low Energy for nearby messaging. with relay explicitly enabled, a phone can carry encrypted packets and pass them to another phone it encounters later. That’s the idea behind messages hopping between devices. delivery still depends on phones meeting, and reliable background operation needs physical-device testing.
There are private chats, group messaging, forums/channels and public broadcast screens. the encryption construction is custom and unaudited. Tor isn’t implemented yet. public broadcasts are public, including to hostile participants.
We need help with:
This is pre-alpha and has not had an independent security audit. please don’t rely on it for sensitive protest communications yet. The urgency is why we’re asking for help now; the prototype still needs that review before anyone should trust it in the field.
If you’ve worked on secure messaging, Tor or mobile networking, a focused review of one part of the code would help. The repo has the threat model and implementation notes, including known limits and unfinished work. Please follow the security policy when reporting vulnerabilities.
To understand the seriousness and the urgency and forgive the “AI slop” approach, please do read up and follow what is happening in India. There are sickening scenes unfolding as fascistic state forces violently crack down on the youth and middle class led protests for the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner of India, though many especially the lawyers are even calling for legal action including improsenment against the entire far right BJP/RSS government and many of the police force that is unleashing terrible police brutality. Even then, the determination of the people is not relenting and protests will continue to grow. Please follow these pages for more updates

For more information surrounding the specific government policies that triggered this unrest: …substack.com/…/vote-chori-sir-and-current-outbur…
This is an urgent call for help! I am reaching out to this community because I do not wish to have many eyes on this beyond the people who can really understand why this is needed. Though many of us are working towards a socialist revolution in line with what Indian revolutionary Bhagat Singh talks about in his important final letter before being martyred - “To Young Political Workers” (www.marxists.org/archive/bhagat-singh/…/02.htm) - we are also forming a United front against the fascist BJP government.
I understand there are many communists and socialists here and I believe we can come together and work towards something meaningful, which maybe even if its not necessary in this wave of protests, could be of paramount importance in the future.
Lastly… NOTE: I want to caution that there have been multiple instances of the “BJP IT Cell” and pro-government people doxxing the identities of people who provide tools and support for the protests. Something like this leaking could also become a big media controversy on how these protesters get “foreign support”. So this post will be removed soon (especially once helpful volunteers are found) for safety purposes to prevent Indian state actors from discovering who is working on this project.
We require all the guidance and support we can get! Even if you cannot support on the tech side of things, we would greatly appreciate material monetary support towards building a revolution in India!
Thank you

curl v8.23.0 released, fixes 24 vulnerabilities, drops SMB-support
"FreeBSD is only for servers" needs to be permanently retired.
Running FreeBSD 15.1 on the trusty ThinkPad T480, and the desktop experience is outright sublime:
- Idle power draw: hovering at an absurd ~2.0W package power
- Wi-Fi: 802.11ax rock-solid
- Hardware video acceleration: fully working in both Firefox and Chrome
- Webcam and audio: working flawlessly
- Productivity: Xfce 4.20 on X11 flying along on ZFS
- Yes, even Factorio runs like a dream
Between the battery efficiency, sane base system, and native ZFS, this machine feels faster and quieter than it has in years.
2026 really is the year of the BSD desktop.
