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).

firefox will now track your searches by default and you'd have no way of knowing they're doing that unless you look for this random blog post on their website: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-search-update/

it does look like you can turn it off at least.

10 Best #FOSS Graphical #Mastodon Clients

https://www.linuxlinks.com/best-free-open-source-graphical-mastodon-clients/

the #blendos v4 #alpha is out! (thanks @ruds)

#linux #release

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.

Hello, community!

We need #openhardware with #bluetooth so we can link them it to #MyGNUHealth.
Currently we have @pine64eu smartwatch, but we'd love to integrate scales, glucometers, blood pressure monitors...
Just reply to this toot or send us a message if you know of any device. We'd love to test them!🤗
#GNU #GNUHealth #pinephone #PineTime

I'm enjoying the good weather and testing the integration of #PineTime #InfiniTime in #MyGNUHealth !

@PINE64 @meanmicio

My #Pine64 #Pinetime is still going strong after multiple years of daily wear as a diesel mechanic.

I just found out about #watchful https://github.com/lulf/watchful - a much needed Rust firmware for #PineTime built on Embassy. ​
