TIL the brand name Rolex doesn't mean anything, but rather is a completely made-up word that the founder thought is easily pronounced in any language.

I used to chat with Craig a lot about his illness, having been on the fortunate side of the coin myself. Fuck cancer.

On This Day In History

Today in 1979, 45 years ago: A Soviet bio-warfare laboratory at Sverdlovsk accidentally releases airborne anthrax spores, killing 66 plus an unknown amount of livestock.

For example some common .deb applications that have a demonized component ship systemd service files, so you have to figure out their replacement. Again just a little work, and not a big deal. It's normal in something like Slackware, but the bsd-style init is really simple there.

I had to do the firmware dance initially, which Debian sorted out a little while ago, but that isn't a big deal. The experience did make me realize how widespread the systemdification of things has gone, which of course is one of the goals of the Devuan project - to avoid this.

Tried Devuan for the first time on my testing box. Daedalus/12 is really decent, and very close to the 'normal' Debian experience. Very impressed. I'm surprised how much skill fade I've experienced with sysv scripts though; such is the enterprise penetration of systemd.

If you really care about the #xz #liblzma backdoor, the IMHO (In My Humble Opinion) best source of information is the FAQ at gist.github.com/thesamesam/223 which gets continuous updates and keeps track of the fallout and ongoing work.

However — do not read the comments on that gist, as a lot of not-so-well informed but very motivated people try to add their .02.

Open source software is a critical part of our national security infrastructure, but one that government is entirely neglecting. Federal agencies rely on OpenSSL, liblzma, etc. just as much as the private sector.

We need a division of federal government whose job isn’t to find and exploit security holes (like the NSA), but fix them. A sort of a national security agency, but that actually does…that.
