Azure needs him to care for Microsoft’s Golden Goose at his farm.

Reminds of that post a month ago…

Boeing offers sincere condolences to Sam Mohawk’s family.

Maybe next year Xbox cloud gaming should team up with Outlook and Onedrive for the “Ultimate” cloud computing conversion feature:

When you drag and drop a file into Outlook, Windows mail, or Exchange, the file bounces around like in the window like in the game Breakout. You can only attach a copy if you hit every word in your email message. If you let the file fall past the signature line, it makes a Onedrive link automatically.

Do ah look lack ah know hwat a Onedrive is?

An interesting scifi plot could be where said fungi start hungering for the microplastics within us…

How about “more shelf-stable than lettuce” as a slogan, then.

Progress!

Dealing with anger is complicated. Blaming your anger on some group of people is easy.

Every time someone references the frog quote from Alex Jones, I always end up hearing it with a techno beat

Everyone on Masto/Fedi has been memeing about this since the start: Whatever platform Dorsey’s on becomes Twitter, lol.

Good luck to OOP on their experiment 🫡

This person was building up relevant experience to earn that goose farmer promotion by moving to Chehalis, WA.

Their federation protocol was called ActivityTrack, which is different than ActivityPub that much of the Fediverse uses. There were some efforts to host relays that translate between the two protocols but some people got upset that their data is being accessed and processed in order to do that.

You have to have debt like Donald Trump to be able to hit that.

Really? They were gonna try a Trump-style grift?

That’s what I’m most curious about. Was it government? Was it Microsoft, Apple or Google? Was it some lone hacker or group looking for money? Was it just an OSS developer that wanted revenge? It would make for a spicy story.

Specifically, SSH logins were consuming too many CPU cycles and were generating errors with valgrind, a utility for monitoring computer memory.

Through sheer luck and Freund’s careful eye, he eventually discovered the problems were the result of updates that had been made to xz Utils. On Friday, Freund took to the Open Source Security List to disclose the updates were the result of someone intentionally planting a backdoor in the compression software.

It is lucky that Andres Freund checked and found the issue in valgrind that was maybe intentionally or maybe unintentionally.

I’m interested in figuring out what happened and more information on the contributor behind the attack.

If it’s a question I know how to answer but believe it really it would take 30 seconds of searching for a regular person to find…

I’d give the answer but be a bit snarky about it.

The Listmedia endpoint and deleting user uploaded images on deletion of account were longtime requested features and I’m glad it’s coming!
