Well f…

und the CBC. That would be interesting.

In these troubled times the nation will need a strong leader. Is it time to bring back the divine right of kings? Experts remain divided.

For some reason the phrase that comes to mind is “fabricating a claim.”

Attackers were able to confuse the parent process into leaking handles into unpriviled child processes leading to a sandbox escape. The original vulnerability was being exploited in the wild.

This only affects Firefox on Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected.

Doritos come from a plant? Far out, man.

For $5000 in advance from the DEA I’ll develop any one of these premises into a professional-quality educational video.

Some bank apps work on LineageOS, some don’t. Mine does, and I’ve only used it twice in ten years, but I’d sooner switch banks than run Google’s android.

Port forwarding lets you connect with other hosts peer-to-peer which a VPN would otherwise block if both sides are behind one. For torrents you’d get more peers (which doesn’t matter if you’re just downloading the latest and most popular stuff) and be able to seed more effectively.

The requirement for port forwarding narrows that down to AirVPN and Windscribe, which is an unfortunately small set of choices.

Some investors are betting that once people wealthy enough to buy new cars get over the initial shock they will learn to relax and enjoy fascism, and quickly go back to buying Tesla cars just like they did last year.

72 hours? No problem. Always have a big bag of rice on hand and you’re done.

Anyone have some free time over the next couple of weekends? Somebody needs to take over and rebuild the Green Party of Canada.

I’m sort of tired of articles describing some catastrophe that happened ten years ago and saying “it’s worrying.”

As I remember it: It’s an online game, so you need a monthly subscription to play. That is a set price in whatever real-world currency as normal. But you can buy as many months as you like in advance; and if you buy more than you need you can sell them in-game for whatever you can get on the open market which is controlled by players.

It was a long time ago, no idea if it still works that way. But it seemed to me like a good system, for a game in which in-game market trading between players is a big part of it.

P.S. Actually come to think of it I think they went free-to-play at some point. I wonder if my account still exists.

I hope it doesn’t affect EVE Online. As I remember it their system didn’t involve any deception or confusion, even though there was in-game currency you could spend € on if you wanted to.

Well I mean there was plenty of deception and confusion among and between the players, but none from the game itself.

One more idea… If you’re willing to temporarily add the Debian testing “deb-src” repository to your sources.list, which should be slightly safer, then there’s a chance that this might work: https://wiki.debian.org/SimpleBackportCreation

Seems not completely crazy, unless MX has its own way to do that.

Yeah, I see that MX test is not based on current debian testing (trixie) but also bookworm. So I guess you’ll not find the package in MX repos until it makes it into AHS. Apparently there’s a PPA that some people use, that might work.

Ok, it didn’t seem clear if you were on Debian 12 or MX. I’m not sure what the relationship between them is, but mesa 25 seems to be in trixie only since 13 march.

Maybe you could use that package from debian testing on the MX version of testing if you wanted to live dangerously.

At this point in the debian release cycle your easiest course of action would probably be to switch over to debian testing. It’s quite easy to do if you’re in debian 12 and wanting newer packages is a legit reason to do it. It should be getting reasonably close to being stable by now I would guess.

You’ll need a newer kernel than is currently in debian stable as well, but that is actually quite easy to build and install. Building mesa I don’t know about, but it will have many more dependencies and could be a lot of work.

The demands:

• give Alberta full access to export oil to the north, east, west, south, up, and down

• stop saying mean things about oil and gas

• acknowledge that carbon dioxide is what plants crave

• double pollution in other provinces so Alberta doesn’t stand out so much

• put a tariff on the sun to stop solar power being so underpriced

• end the prohibition on littering

• dig a canal through B.C. so oil tankers can get to Edmonton

• halt the federal censorship of energy companies
