Backdoor found in widely used Linux utility breaks encrypted SSH connections
Thankfully this was discovered before hitting stable distros but I'm hoping it increases scrutiny across the board. We dodged a bullet on this one.

People who were fired on their first day at work/saw somebody get fired their first day at work: What happened that led to the firing?
One guy during the probation period called IT saying his laptop was broke, they told him to bring it into the office. It turned out he was on another continent and didn't bother to tell anyone. As expected he lost his job.

Valve: don’t expect a faster Steam Deck ‘in the next couple of years’
I'm glad they are not rushing a new one out until there is some genuine leap in the tech. I think we have become accustomed to pointless upgrades every year which offer nothing substantial other than lining some shareholders pockets.
In my case the longer they take the better 😊

Good fuck this company. I'm sure all the military contracts will keep their pockets lined unfortunately.

What is an absurdity that has been normalized by society?
The current work week, there is no need for it to be that long with the advances in technology. Capitalism, its a pyramid scheme that is unsustainable.

Provides a better service and doesn't just jack up the price. Steam sales are some of the best discounts around. Embraced Linux and worked to build upon its open foundations to deliver a great handheld which is open . Great customer service in general. Obviously there will always be people pissed off but going by sales and the general vibe I think it largely favors a positive position.
I think steam is a private company so there are no shareholders to crack the whip. They seem to be good to their staff too and give back to the Linux community.

Whats your prefered codec?
I prefer x264 since all my devices can play it, though x265 is great for file sizes.

BEWARE ! People who create fake email account to login to social media.
Preaching to the choir but good to remind some people. Thats why you avoid or limit use of those services. Use tor or a VPN and use multiple layers of blocking such as DNS and in browser blocking. Also foss only applications where possible.

How could I start a torrent site and not get caught?
If I was going to do it I would only host the site on tor or i2p. I'd only host magnet links with minimal metadata and aim to have the site work without JavaScript. Maybe a small flask application or something to populate the pages using templates. Very basic, light weight and secure.
I would also release a monthly dump of the site to allow it to survive in the event of a takedown .
This way you have a minimal attack surface , you are protected from legal threats as they dont know where or who is hosting and they dont have a hosting provider to send the notices to.
With regular dumps of the site , taking it down becomes futile as there are copies out there in the wild, that can spring up the next day if needed. Its like a diversified seed bank if you will 😉.
