We evaluated the impact of the latest TunnelVision attack (CVE-2024-3661) and have found it to be very similar to TunnelCrack LocalNet (CVE-2023-36672 and CVE-2023-35838).

the #blendos v4 #alpha is out! (thanks @ruds)
details: https://blog.blendos.co/blendos-v4-alpha
install guide: https://blog-9b6.pages.dev/blog/2023/11/blendos-v4-install-guide/
After building the #blendos preview #docs with #materialformkdocs, we now have to build a new v4 ISO because of a pkgbuild mirror change from tar.gz to tar.zst. Rudra said he was gonna build a new ISO and has not responded since. v4 currently cannot be installed.
This is wonderful. Rudra is usually absent for a while due to school and Ubuntu Unity, but this is one of the downsides of that.
(the docs are at https://blend-docs-material.pages.dev for now if you even care)
Very happy with my new #PineTime #smartwatch. Shown in the photo is my preferred watch face style out of the default available options, a retro Casio face. Thank you to @PINE64 and the wider open hardware and software community! I'm going to test out the sleep tracking tonight while connected to #Gadgetbridge and upgrade the firmware as soon as I get a chance.
