But Oracle will be leading towards an “offer” to overlook earlier unlicensed software if they agree to sign up to the new subscription model, Biggs said.
So…Oracle is just adopting the mafia mentality to accomplish this? Yeesh.
The tshirt looks really cool
No prob! I think Ars Technica had the best writeup imo: https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/04/what-we-know-about-the-xz-utils-backdoor-that-almost-infected-the-world/
In a nutshell, a backdoor was intentionally planted by a malicious actor in xz Utils, an open-source data compression utility widely used in Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. This discovery was made by Andres Freund, a developer and engineer working on Microsoft’s PostgreSQL offerings. He was troubleshooting performance problems on a Debian system. Specifically, SSH logins were consuming excessive CPU cycles and generating errors with Valgrind, a memory debugging tool. Through sheer luck and Freund’s careful eye, he eventually discovered that these issues were the result of updates made to xz Utils. Upon closer inspection, he found that updates to xz Utils were the result of a maliciously inserted backdoor. The backdoor, present in xz Utils versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1, manipulated the sshd executable, allowing anyone with a predetermined encryption key to upload and execute arbitrary code on affected devices.
Wait until you hear about your toothbrush
I look forward to celebrating the death of “AAA” games and the rise of independent studios.
I must be living under a rock because this is the first I’ve heard of USB 4. Is it just a speed bump or does it affect the type of data that can be transferred? In my experience I’ve had issues using a usb 2.0 flash drive to use a live image of a Linux iso in a 3.1 port
shocking
Probably used something like CodeIMG: https://codeimg.io/

Easy to get caught in a perpetual loop with steps 4 and 5
And? This is like looking up hammers that don’t leave fingerprints on the grip so you can get away with murder. The tool itself isn’t the issue, the motive is, as well as the person responsible for using it.
can’t wait
I’m aware, patiently waiting for Jellyfin lol. I didn’t enjoy emby at all so Plex was the best “out of the box” solution for my use case
I prefer Plex for its stupid simple “press here to share your library with your family remotely.” And before the Jellyfin folks have an aneurysm, yes I know I can “jUsT uSe a ReVeRsE pRoXy” but I’m a busy guy and frankly lazy. So if Jellyfin wants wide adoption, it needs to make library sharing stupid simple.

Oh wow, how have I not heard of this? This was a major hurdle for me with Jellyfin, I’ll definitely check this out
I hate how YouTube seems to intentionally show salacious ads if you opt out of ad personalization. I get a ton of Temu spam despite not purchasing anything from that app or even having it on my phone, and the ads themselves usually feature scantily-clad women that takes up 70% of the screen. I’ve made a habit of just opening up the comments section and keeping them open the entire duration of the video. It really feels like YouTube/Google/Alphabet is saying “oh, you don’t want people around you to think you’re a perv? Let us collect more data about you so you can save face in public when you use our app at the gym or at work.”
