Алексей Головин:
А вы в курсе, что недавно чуть весь мир не хакнули? Ко всем серверам на линуксе доступ почти создали. Операция готовилась много лет. Следы ведут в Москву. Взломать пытались через небольшую утилиту с открытым кодом. Утилита предназначена для сжимания файлов.
Эта утилита используется на каждом (sic!) сервере. Злоумышленник получил вошёл в доверие к владельцу утилиты и получил доступ к управлению версиями этой утилиты. И в один момент подсунул в депозитарий версию, которая получала доступ к серверам. Эта версия уже начала распространяться как тестовая.
Могли весь мир обрушить, как в фильмах-антиутопиях.
Мир спас один герой из Германии, который заметил подозрительную активность и все труды хакеров пошли прахом.

Кто хотел взломать Linux? Как разработчик Microsoft предотвратил крупнейшую хакерскую атаку в истории

Разработчик нашел бэкдор в утилите XZ Utils, который мог затронуть почти все устройства, работающие на Linux. В причастности к внедрению бэкдора уже подозревают Россию, но доказательств вмешательства российских спецслужб к операции пока нет.

I’ve never done a base #Debian install on a physical machine before yesterday. The mini PC arrived, and I unboxed it and booted it into the pre-installed Windows 11. I used Edge to download the Debian installer ISO, burned that onto a spare USB stick I had lying around, and configured Windows to let me boot off the stick. From there it was a few minutes to configure the device (which included setting up WiFi which went seamlessly!), basically the base install plus sshd.

From there another reboot to confirm everything was working, I transplanted the device to its basement home, and a remote login to configure the wired connection and disable the WiFi. Then a single command to install the #k3s agent and done!

K3s configured itself, attached to the cluster, and started deploying daemonsets (ingress-nginx and nfs-provisioner). I restarted a deployment that had been on the ARM64 node, and it was re-scheduled to run on the new (AMD64) box, downloading the appropriate image and seamlessly running it. I was delighted at how easy it all was.

The whole process took about a half hour, including searching the internet for how to configure networking on Debian.

Hey Hello all you #linux experts... I have a question:

I want an affordable b&w laser #printer for my MX 23.2. Libretto Linux system, based on #Debian
As I am not a terminal guy (too old and just not into it)
I need an installer for it. Which affordable printer can you recommend. I have to buy it, and the setup should be easy.

[CODE]System:
Kernel: 6.1.0-18-amd64 [6.1.76-1] arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 12.2.0
parameters: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-6.1.0-18-amd64 root=UUID= ro quiet splash
init=/lib/systemd/systemd
Desktop: Xfce v: 4.18.1 tk: Gtk v: 3.24.36 info: xfce4-panel wm: xfwm v: 4.18.0 vt: 7

There is a Chinese brand called [Pantum](https://www.amazon.de/P2502W-Laserdrucker-Monolaser-Schwarz-wei%C3%9F-Drucker-1200x1200dpi/dp/B09SHQPX2V/ref=sr_1_3?crid=26B

One Pantum has drivers, and I want to know if they work on MX Linux?
It is a Pantum P2500W

THX for answers in advance

Debian is going to drop support for all 32 bit computers in next release!

https://www.theregister.com/2023/12/19/debian_to_drop_x86_32/

Debian preps ground to drop 32-bit x86 as separate edition
Bad news for several downstream distros, but good news for NetBSD

After a recent meetup in Cambridge, Debian developers are discussing how to start gradually dropping 32-bit x86 support.

One immediately visible result is a message entitled "Bits from the Release Team" on the debian-devel-announce mailing list, with significant news: The end of the line for Debian as a 32-bit distro is approaching. Note, though, this doesn't mean that 32-bit support is going away altogether. Not yet anyway.

The news is in a section titled "A future for the i386 architecture":

Insofar as they still do, we anticipate that the kernel, d-i and images teams will cease to support i386 in the near future.

So, this really sucks for a lot of other people and distros. Like it or not there's shitloads of 32 bit hardware around the planet. A lot of it is currently running! Sadly most of it is running Windows, still. Which is bad because it's so unsafe to keep old versions of Windows touching the internet. But much of it is kept both running and safe by having it run Debian, or a 32 bit distro based on Debian. For any old hardware most peoples go-to distro is Debian. Nobody else is supporting old hardware like Debian is. Plus if someone want's to make their own spin on a distro for old hardware they pretty much always used Debian as a base for it, so there's a lot of distros out there that are gonna die because of this. Like for example #antix #mxlinux #bunsenlabs #slax #peppermintos so this sucks bad.

Firefox ESR (vanilla Debian package) removed custom search engine

"This is the first time this happened on the vanilla Debian Firefox package: Firefox just informed me that it has changed my default search engine. When clicking on "Learn more", a website informs me that:"

"From time to time, Mozilla may update the list of search engines that are available in Firefox or set as default in specific regions. If your default search engine is changed, you'll receive a notification in Firefox so you can further customize your default search settings."

Late January #linux #desktop ... and though I somehow feel bad for cheating at #Debian recently, I've also recently and more and more been torn between "ideology" and having an actually working system on my machines. I'm in the lucky situation of being permitted to use Linux on my working laptop even in a corporate environment, but recently, with Debian stable, the amount of itches became more and more obvious especially in my somewhat ... difficult display setup. Itches - to a point actually where I was getting more serious considering Apple hard- and software for that job. Currently, with #fedora39 , this whole setup seems not really perfect (nothing is) but much better than the months on Debian 12 before. So maybe, for now, this is the way to go - leave Debian for the servers and go with Fedora (or maybe openSuSE - undecided so far) on my desktop machines. Hope this works out.

Somewhat stock Fedora 39 GNOME desktop running a terminal with neofetch.
