Adding 'https://www.surveillancewatch.io/noise-anim.gif' to your favourite rule-based adblocker fixes this.

The stupid dancing fuzz filter across the entire website renders the content almost completely illegible, and is a struggle to read. Shame.

Rather than seeking an impossible ideal (>2 people who agree on what 'good' code is)-- instead read ALL sorts of code. This will then help you learn to distinguish between what is good and not good, and what makes it so. Simplicity, clarity, and lack of surprise come to mind as concepts for 'good'. Others will have different ideas.

Looking at a local privilege escalation (on some systems) that works due to a logic bug in readline, when used with SUID programs.

Find a new provider that won't randomly shaft you for spurious reasons.

Solana really seems like the most interesting Layer-1 chain outside of Ethereum... lots of cool tech.

I love the look of this, but haven't been able to find any information about latency... It seems to be a local network solution? Light on details about how it works, short of reading source.

LaTeX for music? nice!

Nobody is arguing that users having a 1-2 week patch window is a bad thing. However, this frankly seems incompatible with open-source projects. Silently patching issues does not work in practice; it frequently leads to missed fixes, misapplied patches and other incompatibility woes. The situation with backports and LTS releases showcases this well— the only truly well-supported kernel is latest. Everything else is a patchwork of best-effort fixes, not all of which may have been applied correctly. Brad Spengler of grsecurity fame talks frequently about this (primarily via Twitter): https://twitter.com/spendergrsec

Don't know why your other comment got downvoted. Silently patching bugs has left many LTS kernels vulnerable to old bugs, because they weren't tagged as security fixes. Also leads to other issues..: https://grsecurity.net/the_life_of_a_bad_security_fix

Is it a rule that all NFT art must be algorithmically generated and look like shit? Jesus wept.

I am quite interested in your setup! Have you written at all about how you use this, day to day, or perhaps made a screencast? I would be very keen to watch it.
I am a huge fan of integrated environments. I often find the promise of extendability in Linux is unfilfilled by components that do not interop without a lot of manual effort.
