Fokozódik a helyzet az OpenAI vezetőségében támadt felfordulás után.

A Google az év végéhez közeledve szokásához híven közzétette az idei keresési trendeket.

Bejött az időhúzás, az LTE-hálózatösszekapcsolás óta eltelt időben annyit változtak a piaci viszonyok, hogy a hatóság megszüntette az eljárást.

Ha már úgyis alanyi jogon jár mindenkinek számla, legalább a csalók dolga legyen nehezebb.

Az eredetileg december 11-re tervezett bevezetés előbb történt meg a támadások hevében.

A politikai konszenzus után az EU-jogszabály jövőre léphet hatályba, de csak 2026-tól kell majd kötelezően alkalmazni.

Problem: I want to copy a file in git and preserve its history.

Solution: Holy guacamole!:

git checkout -b dup
git mv orig copy
git commit --author="Greg " -m "cp orig copy"
git checkout HEAD~ orig
git commit --author="Greg " -m "restore orig"
git checkout -
git merge --no-ff dup

There is a problem in multiple stable kernel releases that is causing data corruption in ext4 filesystems. It is caused by a problematic commit that is in multiple stable kernels: The commit got merged in 6.5-rc1 so all stable kernels that have 91562895f803 ("ext4: properly sync file size update after O_SYNC direct IO") before 6.5 are corrupting data - I've noticed at least 6.1 is still carrying the problematic commit.

More information can be found in a Debian bug report. It has also delayed the release of Debian 12.3 images. "Please do not upgrade any systems at this time, we urge caution for users with UnattendeUpgrades configured."

(Thanks to Alex Ridevski for giving us a heads up on this.)

Theo de Raadt (deraadt@) posted to tech@ regarding restrictions on the addresses from which system calls can be made.

In addition to providing background, the post contains information (and a patch) for an imminent change - the introduction of a new syscall, pinsyscalls(2) [link not working at the time of writing because change not yet committed], which specifies the addresses from which individual system calls are permitted.

pinsyscalls(2) will be called only from the shared library linker, ld.so(1).

Version 0.95 of Game of Trees has been released (and the port updated):

Problem: you run a Pleroma instance, and you want to restrict the composite timelines to logged-in users only, but without going to the full "public: false". This is a common ask, and the option restrict_unauthenticated is documented, but the syntax is far from obvious!

Solution:

config :pleroma, :restrict_unauthenticated,
 timelines: %{local: true, federated: true}

It can be instructive to pull down the dog-eared copy of the first edition of The C Programming Language that many of us still have on our bookshelves; the language has changed considerably since that book was published. Many "features" of early C have been left behind, usually for good reasons, but there is still a lot of code in the wild that is still using those features. A concerted effort is being made in both the Fedora and GCC communities to fix that old code and enable some new errors in the GCC 14 release (which is in stage 3 of its development cycle and likely to be released by mid-2024), but a fair amount of work remains to be done.

The 6.6.5, 6.1.66, 5.15.142, 5.10.203, 5.4.263, 4.19.301, and 4.14.332 stable kernels have been released. As usual, they contain important fixes throughout the kernel tree.

Security updates have been issued by Fedora (chromium), Mageia (firefox, thunderbird, and vim), SUSE (kubevirt, virt-api-container, virt-controller-container, virt-handler-container, virt-launcher-container, virt-libguestfs-tools- container, virt-operator-container), and Ubuntu (freerdp2, glibc, and tinyxml).
