#rpi #RaspberrPi: big scary moment at #Debian and descendants. But what does it mean for aarm64?

https://lwn.net/Articles/1097401/

Well, first off, rsync just released an out-of-band bump to deal with a different #CVE - go upgrade if you have not yet done so.

Beyond that, I do not know if this series of vuln affect #ARM at all. #Armbian is sitting at 6.18.42-current-bcm2711 and #RaspiOS at 6.18.50+rpt-rpi-v8.

If anyone knows, shout out please.

@rl_dane It’s a lil #Debian based distro made by @justaguylinux

Inside PH4NTXM: #34 Browser Selection and File Verification

The browser launcher should match the mode the system actually prepared.

PH4NTXM's browser-mode stage begins with both browser directories masked, then exposes the browser selected for the session. Lone Wolf verifies the installed Tor Browser files against a manifest before publishing verification state.

The live user's launcher is installed atomically after account and destination checks. In Lone Wolf, that setup also requires browser verification state. This connects mode selection, installed browser files, and the desktop entry the operator uses, while retaining trust in the installed manifest as part of the boot environment.

Is anybody using the VIS editor?

https://sr.ht/~martanne/vis/

I’m really curious about it but I would need some bootstrap tutorial like "VIS for Vim users". I’m still really confused about it.

(yeah, I’m planning to leave Neovim. Will probably ends on Vim-classic once it is packaged in #debian ). Also like #kakoune a lot but Vim-muscle memory is too strong for now.

Inside PH4NTXM: #32 Lone Wolf Firewall Supervision

The Tor routing policy needs supervision after startup too.

Lonewolf's firewall guard checks both the source ruleset and the live policy under a shared firewall lock. It tracks the active Lonewolf or Lockdown profile and publishes fresh readiness after verification.

When it detects a mismatch, it removes readiness and activates containment before attempting restoration. Browser and startup checks can consume that state as part of the protection chain. The guard periodically verifies that the intended routing rules remain installed throughout the session.

#ph4ntxm #linux #debian #os #live #privacy #security #opsec #infosec #research #tech #technology

Inside PH4NTXM: #31 Firewall Supervision

A firewall can be correct at boot and different five minutes later.

PH4NTXM's normal-mode firewall guard polls the active ruleset every two seconds and compares its fingerprint with the expected state. Source rules are integrity-checked and syntax-checked before application, including the required NFQUEUE arrangement and disabled bypass behavior.

A detected mismatch removes readiness and activates emergency Lockdown before restoration. Readiness returns after successful verification. This is ongoing, periodic supervision of the expected policy, giving Boot Pilot and Health a current protection signal instead of a one-time startup assumption.

Has anyone used Devuan? I am wondering how active development is since I am thinking about running Debian for my new server thing on one of my desktops. Issue with Debian is they use systemd by default and starting to try to move away from it.

Found an interesting alternative to OpenCode: OB-1, a free multi-agent coding agent with a built-in free model catalog.

I tested it on Debian running inside Termux/Android: it installed cleanly, created a C project, wrote a Makefile, compiled it and actually ran the resulting binary.

So far, promising. 🔥

Next step: deep testing on my Linux PC with real projects.

The stuck keys issue with #DeskFlow is driving me up a wall. Super fun when you hit the shortcut to open a terminal and get fifty of them instead. XD

That said, I'm so thankful it exists! I'm driving my #NetBSD/X11/ctwm laptop from my #Debian/Wayland/Plasma laptop. That's frickin' MENTAL, yo! :D

Warning: Debian 11 Long Term Support reaches end-of-life https://www.debian.org/News/2026/20260831 #debian #bullseye #debianLTS

You can tell it's 2026 by the broad stripe of daily disappointment.

#Debian #Linux

Funny how the #Debian project only seems to have a bot here on the #Fediverse and not a full account where we can tag them relentlessly and remind them nonstop about their constant fuckup.

But I'll do it anyway. *ahem*

Dear Debian project leaders:

YA FUCKED UP REAL BAD THIS TIME!!

All you had to do was take a stance and instead you pussyfooted on the whole "no LLM code stance" and took this mealymouthed approach!

I hope all your cats hate you!

#NoAI #DebianYouIdiots

Funnily enough, I was never really into #Debian ... I appreciate the quality of the distro, but... I don't know, too many moving parts, I guess.

I will continue supporting #Slackware I'll look into #Guix and, of course, #OpenBSD and #NetBSD as well as #HardenedBSD .

The line is drawn. It is time to choose your side.

The tragedy of #Debian accepting AI 'contributions' is that, most of the time, you are accepting stuff that:

a) is someone else's code, with all the potential legal issues (hence #NetBSD stance on it)

b) is of a very dubious quality, since it went through an AI blender

Just remember: an 'AI' does not exist and has no concept of code, quality and correctness -- I feel like we will soon see the first CVE with a CVSS 9.99 score in AI supplied slop vile coding due to this.

Quoth Nussbaum at #Debian:

“I view the spread of AI we've seen over the past two years as a revolution similar in impact to the generalization of Internet access to the wider public since the mid 90s.”

I don't remember the head of AOL publishing any weird manifestos about how [your] democracy is incompatible with [his] freedom.

I don't remember the head of CompuServe performing any “Roman” salutes at any government functions.

I don't remember the Internet being meant to replace all humans.

So uh, now that #Debian did the thing, what's everybody going to use from now on?

@argv_minus_one Maybe #debian will choose to isolate AI-derived software in its own repository, making it opt-in. That would be very helpful.

I suppose vim would have to go in there. And it wouldn't solve the kernel issue.

In light of the #Debian AI disaster vote. May I recommend the siren song of Gentoo?

Unlike Arch (lmao) Gentoo actually has a pretty thoughtful AI policy. And implemented it way back in 2024!

Namely: You can't use it *in the project*

They can't regulate slop upstream (See: the Linux kernel) but they can sure as hell draw a line within their own borders

@stux You probably mean #Debian

There were EIGHT policy proposals put forth. (thats a lot!)

All are VERY interesting to see where people's ideas on how to use AI in open source.

While I'm certain Debian's middle road vote outcome is going to piss off tons of people on either side its good to see people making CLEAR rules.

I for one will NOT be discontinuing my usage of Debian over this vote or even stop updating.

I'll wait and see IF & HOW the maintainers -actually- use AI.

https://www.debian.org/vote/2026/vote_002

#debian #linux #ai

Just catching up on the Debian AI debate. The project has had a voting window over the past two weeks which just concluded.

Results are in and Debian maintainers voted to allow AI contributions with encouraged disclosure.

The winning proposal will hold the human contributor who uses AI accountable for the content they submit to the project.

#Debian #AI #Linux #OpenSource

so i have questions about #Debian:

1. are members ONLY developers?

2. only developers argued for/against #LLM #AI?

devs are the last people who should be involved in discussions about the ethics and legality of software. ie:

just reckoned, when a court recently decided you can't claim #copyright on #aislop, it didn't occur to me it means both closed and open copyright.

so, if using LLMs trained on works stolen or added without consent removes any claims of #FLOSS: what is Debian now? …🧵

I'm deeply disappointed by the result of the #Debian #AI vote. I seems to me that the project is pretty much split down the middle on the issue, and I'm very unhappy that my ethical opposition puts me in the minority.

I'm not sure where we go from here, but I don't think I want to abandon ship after so many years in the project.

Unsurprisingly, #Debian chose to embrace #slop: https://vote.debian.org/~secretary/gr_llm/results.txt

Oh nice, the #Deskflow releases provide tons of native packages for the latest version, so I just updated it to the latest version on this #Debian box.

I'm hoping it will clear up some of the weird glitches I was having connecting from Debian/Plasma/Wayland to #NetBSD/X11/ctwm.

https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow/releases/tag/v1.26.0

Nope, spoke too soon. XD
The super key gets randomly stuck, and the only thing that can fix it is to killall ctwm (bounce X11). Derp. XD

@Prometheus @the_coffee_lover

Step 1: Delete Omarchy, and I mean dd /dev/zero over it

Step 2: Tell DHH he's a gross little piece of shit fash weenie

Step 3: Flip off Linus Torvalds

Step 4: Go install #Debian and enjoy

Been using #Deskflow with my #Debian #Linux #KDE #Plasma #Wayland box as the "server" and my #NetBSD #ctwm #X11 laptop as the "client" or second screen.

It's amazing that it works, but it's buggy. I'll get a few repeat keystrokes, and sometimes the control key gets stuck.

@choffee

I'll never complain about #Debian versions being too long in the tooth again.

The way people consider it normal and even required to have a CONSTANT software update treadmill is absolutely flipping insane to me.

@rl_dane The issue I have with #Debian's included yt-dlp is it's almost always out of date. I just looked on my #FreeBSD build server and it's in Ports under www/yt-dlp.

I'll have to check the version numbers when I have more time but already I am thinking that using FreeBSD is a better option here.

#youtube

The constant arms race between #google and #yt-dlp is amusing to watch, in a tragic sense.

Came very close to running the somewhat scary "curl ${some_url} |sh" install "procedure" for #deno on my #devuan box until I saw that yt-dlp had been updated only yesterday.

I don't know why #debian (upstream) doesn't package Deno like #FreeBSD does.

At least he wrote some stuff for Nagios:

"monitor syslog events and generate alerts through Nagios when necessary"

https://github.com/dpocock/syslog-nagios-bridge

#Debian #Nagios

Found a statement on the debian-news mailing list from 2021 warning people about him so seems like he is worryingly 100% serious.

"He is neither a Debian Developer, nor a member of the Debian community. He was formerly a Debian Developer, but was expelled from the project some years ago for engaging in behaviour which was destructive to Debian's reputation and to the community itself."

After a look around his website I still couldn't tell if this was serious or a joke. I see he's running in the Clacton byelection and offering Count Binface an ambassadorial role if he steps aside

Have you heard the news about the 8GB Swiss Archive, cults & Debianism? As the UK discusses early release of prisoners, let us contemplate how Jeremy Bicha maintained and added to his membership and access rights in various groups throughout his trial, his prison term and his parole period. What is the point of having access rights or a Debian keyring if criminals can cruise through the system like that? My great-grandfather was an ANZAC. He came to defend the UK and France in World War 1. The Fellowship elected me to represent them before the FSFE, the fake FSF in Berlin, on ANZAC Day, 25 April 2017. Ever since the Fellowship endorsed me, the snobby set has pursued a quest for violence against my family and I. As your representative, I simply did my job and proved the FSFE is nothing more than a Nigerian fraud. Why don't the snobby set sue me for defamation? They are afraid the judge might agree the FSFE doesn't have the right to use the name of the FSF. Even if the judge doesn't agree with me, people in the snobby set are terrified that a judge might take the time to go through all the deaths, the Debian pregnancy cluster and all the examples of exploitation one by one. They are terrified that other victims might make public statements, just as Sonny Piers recently exposed the blackmail he experienced as a GNOME board member. Blackmail, in the manner described by Sonny Piers, is a crime in the UK. When two or more culprits are involved, as described by Sonny Piers, the crime of conspiracy is also proven. Two blackmailers working together, as in "enforcing" the "code of conduct" nonsense, is not conspiracy theory. It is conspiracy fact and it is a crime. In the UK, the crime of conspiracy can even be prosecuted even if the conspiracy is not followed through. In other words, simply creating a mickey mouse "code of conduct" with the intent to denounce your rivals is a violation of the UK law on conspiracy. I tried to document all those things meticulously and in chronological order in my official report on this real abuse scandal in Debian. Could my recent report about Jeremy Bicha be the real reason Steve McIntyre has no summer BBQ this year? Can you find any mistake in my reports? My Jeremy Bicha report finishes with a comparison to the Catholic abuse scandal. Ben Carroll, who was pictured at the end of the report, just became Premier of Victoria. I've published a special video about the state inquiry into Cults and Organized Fringe Groups (COFG). Please watch it and think about what I could add to the discussion in Westminster. Debian, Ubuntu and GNOME all enabled Bicha's progression while insulting other Debian co-authors and our families. Steve McIntyre presided over Debian at a key time in the history of "Debian UK Society" and the period where Richard Rothwell, Frans Pop and Adrian von Bidder were exploited before their deaths. Adrian von Bidder died on the same day that Carla and I got married, I published a detailed history of that too. The recent discussions about Freexian are a flashback to the scandal of Debian UK Society. Imagine having the memory of the Debian suicide cluster on your wedding anniversary every year. Adrian von Bidder may have been an avoidable death. In the UK, an avoidable death can be prosecuted as gross negligence manslaughter, the most serious crime after murder. One of the unique features of UK criminal law is that gross negligence manslaughter prosecutions can be pursued for deaths anywhere in the world, as long as the managers or decision makers had a base in the UK. On 9 September 2023, I wrote to the Cambridgeshire coroner asserting that Debianism was a risk for health and safety. Abraham Raji died three days later. Why don't the snobby set want you to know that I anticipated the death of another colleague? If a death has been anticipated in writing, in a formal report to the coroner, it could be another manslaughter case. The Clacton by-election is at a turning point today. People have realized there will never be unanimous community support for any novelty candidate. Many leaders in the local community are looking over the work of serious candidates and trying to decide whether they can unite behind any one of us. I have not met one local resident in Clacton who is enthusiastic about having a novelty candidate represent them. In fact, the perception the BBC is imposing a novelty candidate on Clacton is hardening support for the incumbent candidate. Why is the community banned from discussing a credible and professional free software candidate on Debian mailing lists? Why do the snobby set treat us like children? The rogue Debianists who put a fake judgment on their web site are inciting violence against me. They don't want to be seen to assault me personally but they will keep spreading rumours about my family until they incite somebody else to do so. The proof they are comfortable with violence is there in Jeremy Bicha and it is there in the chequebook - look at that, if $120,000 isn't kill money, what is it? That is despite the fact my great-grandfather came over here and was injured protecting the empire of that era. Please watch and share the videos that you are banned from talking about.

I've installed a stock #Gnome #Debian yesterday (fleeing away from Ubuntu...) and already the user resistance kicks-in hard...

I want to do a very trivial thing: open 3 pictures in the default viewer. In the old days, the viewer was named eog (eye of gnome) so I could write:

> eog image1.jpg image2.jpg image3.jpg

now the image app has changed name and its almost impossible to find how to invoque it from command line...
and "open" works with one image, but not 3... 😤

I don't know of the specifics, but if it's anything like previous #Debian controversies, I'm sure it's been talked to death and then the folks with deepest corporate pockets eventually win anyway.

It's funny that I've often complained about #Debian being long in the tooth, but now I'm kinda considering sticking with #Trixie until 2030-06-30 (end of #LTS).

...becase it's relatively #slop-free, at least in "base."

#NoAI #AInt

@dalias

I think I've done that with Claude ("clod," I like to call it 😁), but I don't know what all the rest are.

#Debian should really file everything AI-"assisted" under contrib, but you know they hella won't. :P

@peteorrall

It's a pretty good n00b distro, honestly.

But #Debian has the same problem, even moreso as even the grub font is tiny.

@darkuncle @gumnos

I think it's in the 'sysstat' package in #Debian, but I don't see it in #FreeBSD ports/pkg.

rld@Intrepid:~$ pkg search -i sysstat
libsysstat-0.4.6               Library used to query system info and statistics
libsysstat-qt6-1.1.0_3         Library used to query system info and statistics ported to qt6
xsysstats-1.51_6               System information display tool
rld@Intrepid:~$ 

@alatartheblue @moses_izumi

At this point, my main reason for recommending #Fedora over #Debian is that both grub and the LUKS prompt are graphical, rather in teensy text mode. Also, Fedora lets you re-attempt the LUKS password more times before pooping you into an inscrutable (for newbies) grub recovery mode.

That may sound incredibly trivial to an old neckbeard like myself, but it's a huge difference for newbies.

I'm also now investigating #NixBook OS for newbie recommendations. I'm not in love with Nix as a distro, but massive props to @codemonkeymike for all of his efforts, in both creating that OS spin, and in serving his community by providing free laptops rescued from e-waste. That's honestly heroic shiz, may-un. ;)

OPEN SOURCE-BETRIEBSSYSTEM

Wie ein zweifacher Opa aus Wernigerode tausende Entwickler weltweit vernetzt
#Linux #Debian

‚"Schon beim Physikstudium habe ich freie Software benutzt. Das hatte große Vorteile für mich und ich habe gesehen, dass sich Probleme so sehr sinnvoll lösen lassen."

Seit 1996 läuft auf seinem Computer Debian, ein Grundsystem für Computer, vergleichbar mit Windows oder macOS. Seit 1998 arbeitet er an der Software mit. Dabei müssen sich tausende Entwickler auf der ganzen Welt selbst organisieren.

"Wir haben ein technisches Regelwerk. Darin steht, wie ein Softwarepaket aussehen muss. Und wir diskutieren per Mail und Chat."….‘
