Prep for the U.S. midterm elections with these online tools
Avoiding misinformation online can be tricky, especially during election season. And while the media cycle may be more low-key than it would be for a U.S. presidential election (coming up soon in 2024), this November’s midterm has not been immune to internet discord. Americans have got some big decisions to make after all, like how power is balanced in Congress and who gets to make decisions about important issues in your state and local community.
We’re not here to tell you who to vote for. But as an organization that advocates for a healthy internet, we consider online misinformation to be a huge barrier to seeing that better internet. Here are some nonpartisan, online resources to help us all do the responsible thing: Make informed choices and get ready to vote.

Seven-Year Moziversary - chuttenblog
Seven years ago today I began working at Mozilla.
What have I been up to this year? Not blogging, that’s for sure. I’m not sure if I can lay the entire blame of this at the feet of *gestures at everything*, but with the retirement of the This Week in Glean rotation, I’ve gone from infrequently blogging to never blogging.
Which is weird. I like doing it. It can be very fun. It isn’t usually too difficult. Seems like the intersection of all the things that would make it not only something I could do but something I want to do.

A glossary of terms about cyberattacks, from ransomware to DDoS
If you read news about technology, you’re bound to run into some jargon. Here at Mozilla, we believe that information should be as accessible as possible regardless of your level of expertise. We want to help you approach stories about technology with more curiosity and with a little less head-scratching involved. We’ll break down headline-making topics through a glossary of terms often used to discuss them. Consider it your cheat sheet to all things tech.
This month, we’ll give you terms to know about cyberattacks.

We're finally fully moving away from Apache's prefork MPM (hopefully)
In the very beginning, what is now Apache's prefork MPM was your only option; it was just how Apache worked. Then a long time ago, Apache added other Multi-Processing Modules (MPMs), although they were somewhat untrusted so for a while the conservative, backward compatible default was the prefork MPM. We started using Ubuntu based web servers (running Apache) a long time ago, and so we got their default of the prefork MPM.
