To save everyone a click, the text is:
""" Two security issues were discovered in sudo-rs, a Rust-based implemention of sudo (and su), which could result in the local disclosure of partially typed passwords or an authentication bypass in some targetpw/rootpw configurations.
For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.5-5+deb13u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your rust-sudo-rs packages. """

EDIT: The parent post originally said "$1,500 for 8GB". I'll leave this anyway.
> The Lemur Pro *starts at $1,150 for an Intel i5 machine with 8 GB of RAM* and a 256-GB SSD.
For $179[1], you can upgrade it to 40GB of RAM for a total of $1,329.

They were joking--"aigu" (é) is "not grave" (è).

I frequently see folks complain that System76 are just "resellers," or that their machines are "just Clevo rebrands." Here's a rebuttal to that sentiment from one of the S76 developers:

What a peculiar screed. I don't see anything in the post that validates the title. The author used Kagi for four months before the open beta and seemed to like it.
> A survey was put out a couple months before this announcement, asking users what they'd pay. I said 7$/month considering the current proficiency of the service. To read they went with 10$/month with no justification or reveal of the results just makes me feel completely ignored...
The author understands that it was a survey, but is upset that their personal input wasn't taken as the final decision?
It's fine to disagree with the tone of the beta announcement. It's reasonable to think that $10/month is too expensive. But "paid search engines are dead on arrival" is a big swing and there's nothing here to back it up. I'm trying out Kagi as part of the open beta, and so far I'm liking the experience.

I couldn't agree more. I loved the first two thirds, but was so disappointed by the ending that I haven't recommended it to anyone since. I was very invested in a number of character development threads that never lead anywhere.

The home page[1] bends over backwards not to use the name "Red Hat", which renders the FAQ weirdly obtuse.
CentOS, which used to be downstream of Red Hat, has changed its strategy. Rocky Linux is looking to replace CentOS.

> It won't be easy but France24 had some good stories about people who had done just that.
Do you live in France/the EU? If so, I suspect moving to a lower paying position offering greater job satisfaction will be much more feasible than if you live in the US.

One of the big incentives for installing rooftop solar panels is that you can sell any surplus electricity generated back to the power company, shrinking the time required for the panels to pay for themselves. However, I'd be really interested to know if it would be feasible for a home solar kit to use surplus electricity to drive a carbon capture rig instead. (Of course, then I'd need to know what to do with the collected carbon...)

Sometimes the sign is used to indicate which "direction" the temperature is moving. If it was -10° overnight and it's -0° now, the puddles outside will still be frozen. If it was 10° overnight and it's 0° now, the puddles will still be liquid.
(Edit: no idea whether this applies to the Apple watch, it's just a use case for -0 with regards to temperature.)

Disclaimer: IANAL or a financial expert. This information is relevant in the US, but Swedish brokerages may do something similar.
In the US, brokers cannot lend out your shares without your knowledge. Brokerage customers can opt into a program called Fully Paid [Securities] Lending, in which the broker pays you a monthly fee to lend your shares out to short sellers. The fee you're paid is higher for securities that are harder to come by; shares of an up and coming marijuana company will be much more rare than large-cap stocks in the S&P 500. (Brokerages often own their own shares of popular stocks that they can lend out, so there's no need to pay customers for access to them.) You can recall the shares at any time, so they're still considered liquid. The only "catch" is that you can't vote as a shareholder without first recalling them.
Here are some product pages for FPL programs run by Schwab[1] and Fidelity[2]. Most (all?) large US-based brokerages seem to offer this in some form.

It takes a couple of pages to get there, so for the lazy: the vice is constructing languages.
Do they do any sort of third-party auditing of the closed parts?
