Oh this is fun! @jgamblin (i think that's the 🐘 handle) just pushed a repo that calculates the cost of managing and maintaining the CVE based on the latest MITRE contract:
Cost Per CVE Published During the Contract Period:
MITRE received $664.01 for each of the 43,625 CVEs published during the contract period.
Overall Cost Per CVE in the Database:
MITRE received $99.60 for each of the 290,834 CVEs in the #CVE database during the contract period.

For you guys using NUC sized mini PCs, if you model has poor airflow management for RAM or storage sticks : this 12x12cm fan, USB powered with on-off switch fits perfectly under a NUC.
Perfect for silently pushing air in the NUC. It is silent, has rubber grommets to dampen vibration and sound. Everything runs 5 degrees cooler, that's almost 15%.

Unexpected benefit of Linux Mint relative slowness following Ubuntu releases, as they like to keep a safe pace and make things working right before releasing new versions : it aligns with enterprise software surprisingly well.
Enterprise software are even slower to update, meaning the network shared printer drivers, corporate Zero trust client, email server connector, antivirus (as in paid, licenced av agent) does works perfectly.
Mint sits right in a sweet spot about both corporate bloatware and OSS.

Carefully ensuring all my Github repos are synced on @Codeberg.org, before deleting Github ones...
Github was a backup account already since Microsoft takeover, time to free them from my files. As a bonus that will also reduce my carbon footprint.
Unfortunately, many great repos are still solely on Github, so as a contributor for issues and pull requests I will have to keep an account there.
It has been decades since I had to build a browser from sources.
Librewolf repos on codeberg do build on first try. I take that as proof of software quality.

A tale of browsers, freedom and privacy
Chrome: Ads infused in browsers core is a leap in the wrong direction.
Firefox: helpless to find a stable income, goes into turmoil for looking forward to AI goldmine.
Browsers are so bloated they are not simple applications, more like a full stack, an operating system for the internet, controled by forces beyond a mere user power and often understanding.
We need trimed down forks of both open source chromium and Firefox. And for a sustainable development, actual donations to those projects.
Yes to be free, safe for privacy, one have to pay a little of the hard earned money.

Gov backdoor in encrypted services, UK, France, Sweden...
What a world to live in because
1. we may (?) actually need that because of bad guys
2. good guys goes bad breaking privacy and service integrity with backdoors
3. bad guys will be bad guys and use backdoors too

Signal will withdraw from Sweden if encryption-busting laws take effect
Experts warned the UK’s recent 'victory' over Apple would kickstart something of a domino effectConnor Jones (The Register)
I feel like this fundamentally misses the point.
It's not just that backdoors are intrinsically targets for bad actors, it's that they don't help. Encryption isn't some magic that only big companies can produce. With off the shelf libraries, it takes a really small amount of code to write something that encrypts and decrypts messages. If Signal has a back door, then a bad person can still use it as a transport for messages that they're encrypting with keys that they're distributing via some other mechanism.
If you do this, then the messages seen via the backdoor will be gibberish. At that point, law enforcement can say 'aha, you're using additional encryption, you're either a criminal or paranoid', but that doesn't really help them much.
GitHub - davidchisnall/banning-e2ee-is-stupid: Do you think banning end-to-end encryption is plausible? Think again.
Do you think banning end-to-end encryption is plausible? Think again. - davidchisnall/banning-e2ee-is-stupidGitHub
Yes of course, thanks for this complement. Anything above the transport will add another layer of obfuscation, and essentially give you more time before a breach.
With that said, it may be such an inconvenience regarding the primary use of instant messaging that I doubt actual bad guys would still use it like that.
Plus symmetrical encryption is good enough for a proof of concept, managing a key infrastructure is out of reach from many.
Anyway that’s a good point you’ve made on your GitHub publication 👍
First UK, then France... Privacy is not worth it compared to state security. Does it matter to you ?

Putting AI in it is the modern days excuse to raise a paywall, go freemium, subscriptions, and kill legacy free services and software.
Many are doing it, I am abandoning useful tools because of that or either shady privacy induced concerns.

Friendica + Caddy dockerized installation guide, scripts, tips and tricks
Hello there,
here is my contribution to the Fediverse: a guide to install a Friendica instance using Docker and Caddy.
That should help new administrators and beginners to go online easily.
Friendica deserves a try, this instance variant is neither mastodon nor pleroma, yet after testing many including Misskey forks I tend to lean on Friendica's side for my instance... will you ?
Like this, it is really good for selfhosting or single user instance on a cheap VPS. And it may scale to many users.

Raspberry Pi4 continuous selfhosted server operations
!Selfhosted For Raspberry Pi4 continuous selfhosted server operations: with and without case fan. This graph show a 20°C decrease, with a slow rpm fan.
The metal case has thermal stickers to reach for main components on both sides, and the fan is what I have in scrap parts, totally not for that case but pushes a lot of air with low noise compared to screaming mini cpu fans.
The CPU is perfectly happy sitting at 50°C. It is slightly happier at 30, but it doesn't actually help in any way unless you run into throttling, or run (much) hotter for longer. It's fine.
Some might state that the CPU is probably gonna live longer, but seriously have you ever had a CPU die on you cause it was old (or even die at all, even)? Again, it's fine.
Having something that mostly agitates the air (not even really moving it) like a low-hundreds-rpm fan would also work. As would using one of those passive heat pipe coolers that are also overkill (especially with a fan, but just leave that off), but have the same "number looks better" effect.

Then, yes, back in the days when overclocking and over powering was a thing, CPU actually died from all that, I changed a few for customers that didn’t know better. How ironic I did that to myself years later with little arm boards, isn’t it?

in reply to silverwizard • •Thanks for the hint, maybe, but I didn't get any high cpu load warning from monitoring. The database seems responsive during this error messages but the website went error 500.
I restarted Friendica and MariaDB containers because I don't know better (same host).
I will watch for cpu load and how actually mariadb respond to some hand made queries next time. Until now this happened only 1 time since 3 or 4 month running my instance anyway.

in reply to Ⓜ3️⃣3️⃣ 🌌 • • •I used to get this a lot and discovered that the OOM Killer killed MariaDB often to protect the O/S when all memory was consumed. And I had 12 GB free memory after rebooting. Search syslog for "OOM" to see if the culprit is the OOM killer.
The cause was that I was using the standard memory manager in MariaDB which is very bad at preventing memory fragmentation. Although I had a lot of memory left, it was too fragmented to use. Given my instance has 330 active users, the DB is extremely busy, and it would be just a few days before I'd lose the database, constantly.
The solution was to change the memory manager to jamalloc. Now I no longer have this issue.
