Even those distributions that include a host of applications don't always get the collection of pre-installed apps quite right. From my experience, there are certain apps that should be considered "must haves" for every new user, and it often confuses me why they aren't included in many of the major distributions. The good news is that there are plenty of apps to easily install, most of which are found in the standard repositories. What is my list of "must haves" for Linux? Let's find out.

Haven’t you heard of it? Well, it’s a great piece of software that dynamically adjusts the CPU governor and frequency settings to balance power consumption, performance, and thermal management based on the system’s current workload and power state. The release’s highlight is the newly added support for EPB (Energy Performance Bias). This new feature closes a longstanding request by enabling fine-tuned power optimizations according to your specific performance requirements. In other words, whether you are working on CPU-intensive tasks or just browsing the web, the EPB feature helps strike the perfect balance between energy efficiency and raw processing power.

These are web-based graphical control panels that allow you to easily and intuitively administer websites, DNS, e-mail accounts, SSL certificates and databases. However, they are both proprietary software. Hosting providers will charge a monthly fee for these control panels to be installed on a server. Fortunately, there is a wide range of open source software available to download at no cost that offers a real alternative to these proprietary solutions. To provide an insight into the quality of software that is available, we have compiled a list of 11 high quality web hosting control panels tools that let users take full control of a web hosting account. The ratings chart below captures our recommendations. * ⚓ ECT_-_fast_and_effective_C++_file_optimizer_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Efficient Compression Tool (or ECT) is a C++ file optimizer.

Also now working up to our next big openQA project, extending_test_coverage_for_the new_installer. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ An_overview_of_virtual_routing_and_forwarding_(VRF)_in Linux⠀⇛ Virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) is a network virtualization technique allowing traffic isolation at the layer 3 (L3) of the OSI_model by creating independent routing and forwarding domains. It is essentially the combination of a separate routing table and associated network interfaces. Other networking techniques exist but are operating at a different levels—such as VLAN and network namespaces, respectively at the layer 2 and at the device level. Those techniques can be combined, e.g., a VRF can be part of a network namespace and/or VLANs can be attached to a VRF. Note that a network namespace might look like a way to emulate a VRF but they differ in how traffic is handled, notably VRF does not impact layer 2 (L2) traffic. In the Linux kernel VRF is supported under the CONFIG_NET_VRF build configuration option. ✐ Use cases⠀✐ As we saw, a VRF is used to isolate L3 traffic. As such it can be used in multi-tenancy environments to isolate customers or to support overlapping networks, as L3 addresses and routes are scoped to a given VRF. When VRF was introduced, it was used in combination with MultiProtocol_Label_Switching (MPLS), which can be used to allow overlapping traffic to be routed in the same backbone. Because of this, strictly speaking, when VRF is used without MPLS it is called "VRF Lite". We'll keep referring to "VRF" in this article. Another use case is to have a clear separation between the management network and the data plane. In short and depending on the requirements, VRF has value for both routing packets and at the endpoints. ✐ Linux implementation⠀✐ In Linux, a VRF domain is represented by a virtual L3 network device and packets (ingress and egress) are flowing through it. This has the advantage of providing a single point to attach TC and netfilter rules, to dump non-forwarding traffic for debugging or for making applications "VRF-aware" by binding sockets to the VRF device. The VRF device also acts as a parent for interfaces part of the domain (note that a given network interface can only be part of a single domain). It can also be nested under a network namespace to combine both features. In addition to the VRF interface, a number of techniques are used which are not specific to VRF: a dedicated routing table per VRF domain and routing policy (ip rules), for instance. This design—mixing VRF specific techniques and non-VRF ones—is a key point to understand how VRF is implemented in Linux: the VRF implementation is not entirely isolated from the rest of the stack. As such, configuring a VRF implies managing its associated network interface but also handling policy rules and routing tables. The combination of all those techniques provides the routing and forwarding domains. § Under the hood⠀➾ When a packet is received on an interface, the route lookup is redirected to the right table using policy routing. When a packet is sent, the device is set to the VRF parent device which will ensure the right table is used for the lookup. ✐ VRF in action⠀✐ As a VRF domain is represented by a virtual interface on Linux, adding a new VRF domain is similar and as simple as adding other kinds of virtual interfaces. The usual tools can be used, such as iproute2 or nmcli. When adding a new VRF device, a dedicated routing table and (if it does not exist yet) special L3 FIB rule (policy routing) are automatically added. The policy routing rule will direct lookups for matching packets to the routing table associated with the VRF domain. L3-enabled network devices that should be part of the VRF domain are then added by making them children of the VRF device. Their local and connected routes are automatically moved to the VRF associated routing table but other routes depending on the device are dropped. Note that because of backward compatibility, global IPv6 addresses are lost by default (this is controlled by the net.ipv6.conf.all.keep_addr_on_down parameter). Let's add a VRF domain and see what happens: [...] ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 716 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/10/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/10/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free, Libre, and Open Source Software Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 10, 2025 * ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Bat_0.25_Command-Line_Tool_Introduces_Powerful_Line- Squeezing⠀⇛ But wait, you haven’t heard of the bat command?

This initiative aims to fund open development and enhance projects within the Chromium ecosystem, ensuring broad support and sustainability for open source contributions that will drive technological advancement. "With the launch of the Supporters of Chromium-Based Browsers, we are taking another step forward in empowering the open source community," said Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation. "This project will provide much-needed funding and development support for open development of projects within the Chromium ecosystem." The Supporters of Chromium-Based Browsers will provide a neutral space where industry leaders, academia, developers, and the broader open source community can work together to support projects within the Chromium ecosystem. By fostering collaboration, the initiative aims to remove barriers to innovation, expand adoption, and ensure that projects within the Chromium ecosystem receive the resources they need to thrive.

A review, if you will. On a funny side, someone emailed me, asking me to stop doing them. C'mon, I've only been doing this for nigh twenty years. It's still early to quit. I'm too legit to quit. Gotta show commitment. So you might see a few reviews here and there, not very often, when the mood strikes, when my optimism levels fool me into a sense of complacency. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed triggers a sort of neutral feeling. Neither good, nor bad, just okay. It has lots of nice things, but the bittersweet part is, almost everything that's cool about the system, on the system level, hails back to the glory days of SUSE, when it still had that serious, professional enterprise streak. YaST, installer, reasonable defaults, this is all old school stuff. And to answer the question people asked me, mostly in the context of my Slimbook Executive experience, why Ubuntu and its derivatives, or why not something else? Well, one, for all its woes, Ubuntu does software management ever so slightly better. Not much, but slightly better. Two, it doesn't really matter. The Linux desktop is in a sorry state. All distros have similar issues. They have bugs, crashes, aesthetic problems, overload of nerdiness, no real accessibility to common users, echo chamber syndrome, all of the usual things. And, objectively, they are less friendly than they used to be, as we had better functionality, more quality, and more hope ten years ago than we do now. This review is a good example. Oh, and Windows 11 being dog turds doesn't mean anything! The fact someone else does a shoddy job is no excuse for anyone else to do a shoddy job. Well, there you go. I like openSUSE Tumbleweed. SUSE was my first ever distro, and so it will always have a special place in me heart. There's a lot to like, but then, the software management part is way too messy and complicated, and there are small oddities all over the place. So in a way, much like the rest. Thus, if you prefer this brand of Linux, go for it. But my overall feel is, at the end of the day, it doth not matter, or if push comes to shove, Ubuntu (or rather Kubuntu) is a tad ahead of the rest, since you get a bit more order in the software space (but not much), and there's Ubuntu Pro for ten years of peace. But if you wanna tumble, Tumbleweed it is. Some nice, clever choices, old school spirit, but it ain't enough for that wow factor. We're done.

Thus all the splitlines work probably can be simplified. * ⚓ Andy_Wingo:_ephemerons_vs_generations_in_whippet⠀⇛ Happy new year, hackfolk! Today, a note about ephemerons. I thought I was done with them, but it seems they are not done with me. The question at hand is, how do we efficiently and correctly implement ephemerons in a generational collector? Whippet‘s answer turns out to be simple but subtle. § on oracles⠀➾ The deal is, I want to be able to evaluate different collector constructions and configurations, and for that I need a performance oracle: a known point in performance space-time against which to compare the unknowns. For example, I want to know how a sticky_mark-bit_approach_to_generational_collection does relative to the conventional state of the art. To do that, I need to build a conventional system to compare against! If I manage to do a good job building the conventional evacuating nursery, it will have similar performance characteristics as other nurseries in other unlike systems, and thus I can use it as a point of comparison, even to systems I haven’t personally run myself. * § Graphics Stack⠀➾ o ⚓ Mike_Blumenkrantz:_Rake_In_Bike⠀⇛ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ First Perf of the Year⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ I got a ticket last year about this game Everspace having bad perf on zink.

In any case, I didn’t fix it last year, so I dusted it off the other day and got down to business. Unsurprisingly, it was still slow. * § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ o ⚓ GNOME ☛ Adetoye_Anointing:_Demystifying_SVG2_Text_Layout: Understanding_Librsvg⠀⇛ § Prerequisite Hi!

Messed with it today and got the regex figured out and the right answer to part one within 15 minutes, followed by part 2 in about half that time. Figures. * ⚓ Fernando Borretti ☛ Implementing_FSRS_in_100_Lines⠀⇛ So I put everything I could find together, and cleaned it up. The implementation turned out to be just 100 lines, though much of it remains cryptic: while SM-2 was intelligently designed, FSRS was evolved by training a model on a dataset of Anki reviews. But you don’t need a PhD in machine learning to understand the implementation. The rest of this post explains the theory of FSRS, with equations interleaved with Rust code. If you just want the code, scroll to the end. The repository is here. * ⚓ Anton Zhiyanov ☛ Gist_of_Go:_Context⠀⇛ In programming, context refers to information about the environment in which an object exists or a function executes. In Go, context usually refers to the Context interface from the context package. It was originally designed to make working with HTTP requests easier. However, contexts can also be used in regular concurrent code. Let's see how exactly. * ⚓ Sandor Dargo ☛ C++26:_a_placeholder_with_no_name⠀⇛ Let’s continue exploring C++26. In this post, we are going to discuss a core language feature proposed by Corentin Jabot and Micheal Park in P2169R4. With the new standard we get a cool unnamed placeholder. * ⚓ Kevin Boone ☛ Technical_writing:_what_do_we_lose,_when_we_write_more readably?⠀⇛ It’s easy, especially in science and technology, to write text that nobody wants to read. Scientific writing is often over- long, over-reliant on the passive voice, and full of vague abstractions. We often avoid referring to specific individuals, even to ourselves, the writers. Generality and objectivity are worthy goals in science, but readers prefer the specific and the personal. You don’t have to look very far to find guidance on how to write readable English text. There was an explosion of publication on this subject between the end of the 19th and the mid-20th centuries. It’s still worth reading early examples like Mark Twain’s Fenimore Cooper’s Literary Offenses (1895), and the Fowler brothers’ The King’s English (1908). This eventually became Fowler’s Dictionary of Modern English Usage, which is still in print. Of course, there are modern books on writing style too, including some for scientists, like Anne Greene’s Writing Science in Plain English. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Little_useless-useful_R_functions_–_QR-Code_Clock⠀⇛ Ever wanted to have a clock on the wall or in the office, that is not binary. But it is QR-Code clock 🙂🙂 Well, now you can have it. This useless R function generates new QR Code for every given period and tells the time. Run this function: [...] * ⚓ Matt Keeter ☛ Fidget⠀⇛ Fidget is a library for representing, compiling, and evaluating large-scale math expressions, i.e. hundreds or thousands of arithmetic clauses. It's mainly designed as a backend for implicit surfaces, but the library is flexible enough for many different uses! * ⚓ Jasper Tandy ☛ Jasper_is_blogging_Aegir_shared_this_post_on_Mastodon earlier_and_I_think_it's_an_interesting_take_on_something_I've...⠀⇛ I learned to debug really early on in my career. My first job where I wasn't a junior, I worked on a codebase that had been maintained by someone who was always 100% sure that they were right (this isn't an exaggeration - I've genuinely never met or known someone so arrogant in my entire life), and that had resulted in so many incredibly confusing things that were an example of that "misaligning a single pair of flippers" mentality. Some people have an idea of how they're going to implement something and they will not deviate from it (or consider deviating from it), even if they meet with substantial resistance. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Your_Classifier_Is_Broken,_But_It_Is_Still_Useful⠀⇛ When you run a binary classifier over a population you get an estimate of the proportion of true positives in that population. This is known as the prevalence. But that estimate is biased, because no classifier is perfect. For example, if your classifier tells you that you have 20% of positive cases, but its precision is known to be only 50%, you would expect the true prevalence to be $0.2 \times 0.5 = 0.1$, i.e. 10%. But that’s assuming perfect recall (all true positives are flagged by the classifier). If the recall is less than 1, then you know the classifier missed some true positives, so you also need to normalize the prevalence estimate by the recall. * ⚓ Scott Redig ☛ Zig's_Comptime_is_Bonkers_Good⠀⇛ Programming has obvious abilities to increase productivity through automated manipulation of data. Metaprogramming allows code to be treated as data, turning programming’s power back onto itself. Programming close to the metal has perhaps the most to gain from metaprogramming as high level concepts need to be mapped precisely to low level operations. Yet outside of functional languages I’ve always found the metaprogramming story to be a disappointment. So when I saw that Zig lists metaprogramming as a major feature, I took interest. * ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_RcppGetconf_0.0.4_on_CRAN: Updates⠀⇛ A minor package update, the first in over six years, for the RcppGetconf package for reading system configuration — not unlike getconf from the libc library — is now on CRAN The changes are all minor package maintenance items of keeping URLs, continuous integration, and best practices current. We had two helper scripts use bash in their shebangs, and we just got dinged in one of them. Tedious as this can at times seem, it ensures CRAN packages do in fact compile just about anywhere which is a Good Thing (TM) so we obliged and updated the package with that change—and all the others that had accumulated over six years. No interface or behaviour changes, “just maintenance” as one does at times. * ⚓ Michael Lynch ☛ if_got,_want:_A_Simple_Way_to_Write_Better_Go_Tests⠀⇛ There’s an excellent Go testing pattern that too few people know.

As organizations increasingly rely on data to drive decision-making and strategy, data engineering has become crucial in ensuring that data is accessible, reliable, and usable. o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Spatial_modelling_with_GAMs_in_R_workshop⠀⇛ This workshop introduces generalised additive models (GAMs) as a method for generating the underlying spatial structure needed to define spatially structured random effects. We will see how penalised smoothing splines can be applied to coordinates to generate a spatial plane with minimal user assumptions. This ensures the spatial model is relevant and unique to the setting being studied. Using the mgcv package in R, we will apply this approach to real-world data, incorporating the flexible spatial structure into a random effects model, which then can be interpreted similarly to any other spatial model. * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ Advent_of_Code_2024_retrospective⠀⇛ For me, this year’s Advent of Code was less about solving puzzles and writing Python. It was more about writing explanations, teaching Python, showcasing how to get started with blogging as a developer and experimenting with the tooling to build websites out of Obsidian notes. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2386 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/10/Rust_Based_COSMIC_Desktop_Gets_5th_Alpha_Release_with_COSMIC_Me.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/10/Rust_Based_COSMIC_Desktop_Gets_5th_Alpha_Release_with_COSMIC_Me.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Rust-Based COSMIC Desktop Gets 5th Alpha Release with COSMIC Media Player⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Jan 10, 2025, updated Jan 10, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇COSMIC_Alpha_5⦈_ COSMIC Alpha 5 introduces an early version of COSMIC Media Player, which is now the default media player in Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS. System76 says that COSMIC Media Player uses Vulkan for video rendering and Video Acceleration API (VA–API) for video decoding. Apart from the COSMIC Media Player, the 5th alpha of the Rust-based COSMIC desktop brings a more refined VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) implementation to take into account the minimum refresh rate of your display to ensure the cursor runs smoothly, especially in non-game apps running in full-screen mode. Read_on OMG Ubuntu: * ⚓ System76_Release_COSMIC_DE_Alpha_5:_What's_New?_-_OMG!_Ubuntu⠀⇛ This is the fifth alpha of the Rust-based DE since August 2024. More alphas will arrive each month until all the features planned to ship in the first stable release – or ‘epoch’, as System76 is calling them – are in place, at which point beta testing will begin. Arriving alongside this alpha is a refreshed ISO of Pop!_OS 24.04 (Alpha) with COSMIC Alpha 5 preinstalled — but, just like previous COSMIC desktop alpha releases, users of other Linux distributions, like Arch Linux, can install it too. For a lick more detail on the notable user-facing changes this update brings, read on. Liam Dawe (GOG): * ⚓ System76's_COSMIC_Alpha_5_is_here_with_a_new_media_player,_VRR improvements_and_lots_of_fixes_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Hardware vendor System76 continue building up their new Linux desktop environment, COSMIC, with a fifth alpha now available for testing. Their Rust-based desktop environment is primarily being made for their own Linux distribution Pop!_OS, but with proper support for users on other distributions too. The first big addition is the new COSMIC Media Player that's now the default, which uses Vulkan for rendering and VAAPI for decoding (where available) for efficient video playback. Cycling through apps via Alt+Tab will go through in the order they were last active, there's improvements to Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), a new User Settings page and you can open links in the COSMIC Terminal. Linuxiac: * ⚓ COSMIC_Desktop_Alpha_5_Released,_Introduces_New_Media_Player⠀⇛ More than a month after the previous Alpha 4, System76 officially unveiled COSMIC Alpha 5, the latest sneak peek at its much-anticipated Rust-based new desktop environment. One of the biggest highlights of this release is the COSMIC Media Player, which now serves as the default option for video playback. Because System76 strongly emphasizes performance, the media player utilizes Vulkan for rendering and VAAPI for decoding (when available), ensuring resource efficiency without compromising quality. Although it currently focuses on video, audio playback features are on the horizon. ⠐⠒⠒⠀⠒⠒⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠒⠀⠐⠒⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠂⠐⠐⠂⠂ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⡀⠀⠙⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣤⣾⢿⣿⣶⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣠⣾⢿⣩⣥⣴⣶⣶⣶⠖⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢉⣿⣷⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣄⣀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢀⢲⣿⣿⠇⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣰⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣀⣬⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⢷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣲⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠀⠀⢀⣴⡜⠋⡝⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠈⣈⠁⠂⠀⠀⣀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⢰⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠀⣡⣤⣼⣿⡿⠗⠀⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣭⣄⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣋⡼⢟⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⢸⡿⠿⢻⣿⣟⡝⢁⣤⣤⣼⣏⡿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣁⣀⣀⣤⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠾⠋⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡉⠛⠛⢻⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠊⠀⠐⠈⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡏⠁⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠞⠁⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⢈⣶⣄⡀⠸⣿⣿⣷⣰⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣦⣴⣤⣤⣥⣤⣿⣿⣿⠄⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣥⣀⢛⣛⡿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⡛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢼⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⡭⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣟⡛⠛⠛⠛⢛⣛⠛⠛⡛⠛⠛⠛⠛⣛⡛⠛⠛⠛⠛⡛⠛⣛⡛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣴⣶⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⠿⠿⢿⠀⠹⢿⠇⠐⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠇⠟⠃⠘⠿⠇⠸⠿⠀⠻⠟⠀⠿⠟⠀⠿⠇⠈⠀⠀⠸⠿⠀⠿⠟⠸⠿⠿⠿⠦⠄⠑⠿⠿⠿⠿⠍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2511 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/10/Security_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/10/Security_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 10, 2025, updated Jan 10, 2025 * ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Thursday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (cups, kernel, and kernel-rt), Debian (chromium, firefox-esr, and webkit2gtk), Fedora (curl, firefox, gimp, mupdf, openjpeg2, and valkey), Red Hat (389-ds-base, cups, firefox, iperf3, kernel, kernel-rt, libreswan, python3.11-urllib3, thunderbird, and webkit2gtk3), Slackware (firefox, seamonkey, and thunderbird), SUSE (apptainer, firefox-esr, libopenjp2-7, libruby3_4-3_4, openjpeg2, and tomcat10), and Ubuntu (firefox, linux-azure, linux-azure, linux-azure-4.15, linux-azure, linux-azure-6.8, linux-azure, linux-intel-iotg-5.15, linux-azure-5.15, python2.7, thunderbird, and xfpt). * ⚓ Wartime_Footing,_Horizon3_Lifts_Dawn_On_NodeZero_Kubernetes Pentesting⠀⇛ Horizon3 has announced the release of its NodeZero Kubernetes Pentesting product. * ⚓ SANS ☛ Windows_Defender_Chrome_Extension_Detection,_(Fri,_Jan_10th) [Ed: Windows Defender it itself a security problem and it runs on back doors at the OS level]⠀⇛ With the recent Cyberhaven Extension(2) attack, looking for specific Chrome extensions installed can be very helpful.

The very thing we add to help users can exclude them instead. * ⚓ LinuxBuz ☛ Ansible_yum_localinstall:_A_Guide_to_Install_Local_RPMs⠀⇛ Ansible simplifies package management on GNU/Linux systems, especially when using the yum module.

On the off-chance this helps someone: Log into the WatchGuard Partner Portal, and under the Products menu, click Virtual Appliance Evaluation. Next to the WatchGuard Product you want to request an evaluation key for, click Request Evaluation. You’ll receive an email with the evaluation Serial Number. Note this is not the Feature Key you need to activate the FireboxV. Click the Activate link in the email. Enter the Serial Number into the box, click Next, give the device a unique name, then click Activate. * ⚓ Wladimir Palant ☛ Wladimir_Palant:_How_extensions_trick_CWS_search⠀⇛ A few months ago I searched for “Norton Password Manager” in Chrome Web Store and got lots of seemingly unrelated results. Not just that, the actual Norton Password Manager was listed last. These search results are still essentially the same today, only that Norton Password Manager moved to the top of the list: [...] * ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Malicious_hackers_have_their_own_shadow_IT_problem⠀⇛ Researchers at watchTowr Labs found that abandoned and expired internet infrastructure left by hacking groups can function as backdoors within other backdoors. * ⚓ SANS ☛ Examining_Redtail_Analyzing_a_Sophisticated_Cryptomining_Malware and_its_Advanced_Tactics⠀⇛ * § Windows TCO / Windows Bot Nets⠀➾ o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Security_pros_baited_by_fake_Windows_LDAP exploits⠀⇛ Security researchers are once again being lured into traps by attackers, this time with fake exploits of serious Microsoft security flaws. Trend Micro spotted what appears to be a fork of the legitimate proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for LDAPNightmare, initially published by SafeBreach Labs on January 1. But the "forked" exploit PoC actually leads to the download and execution of information-stealing malware. o ⚓ Cyble Inc ☛ Top_5_Industries_Most_Vulnerable_To_Cybercriminals_In 2025⠀⇛ The rise of cyberattacks has changed the dynamics of global industries, with cybercriminals increasingly targeting sectors that hold vast amounts of sensitive data, financial resources, or critical infrastructure. As cybercriminals refine their tactics and use more sophisticated technology, certain industries are becoming more vulnerable to breaches. o ⚓ Tripwire ☛ Space_Bears_Ransomware:_What_You_Need_To_Know⠀⇛ Space Bear is a relatively new ransomware group that first appeared on the radar in April 2024. The gang, which is aligned to the Phobos ransomware-as-a-service group, steals sensitive data from organisations, encrypts victims' computer systems, and demands that a ransom be paid for a decryption key or the data will be published on the dark web. o ⚓ Forbes ☛ Microsoft_Warns_400_Million_backdoored_Windows_Users—You Need_A_New_PC⠀⇛ Just a few days ago, security researchers warned hundreds of millions of backdoored Windows users they’re at risk from a “dangerous security fiasco.” ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 3396 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 29 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
