The @… community just released the latest version 4.0.1. It fixes an issue with more than 4 GPIOs enabled at the same time and other miscellaneous fixes.
Details are here: https://github.com/Pi4J/pi4j…
Does anybody have a connection at Signal who could receive some urgent app design feedback? The app has several very specific problems / limitations / design quirks that are causing major headaches for neighbor groups trying to communicate here in Minneapolis.
(I’ll eventually try to write up some feedback through normal channels so it can go through the normal user feedback pipeline — but I’m sure any fixes that arrive that way will arrive far too late to be useful to us, so I’m not even bothering now. If there’s any chance of having some issues prioritized, I’d sure appreciate it.)
[ETA: I already tagged Mer__edith, but I’m sure she’s far too busy and her mentions are far too crowded for her to give this attention]

Holy shit, why am I maintaining #chromium packages instead of hunting for security holes in it?!
Years ago I had a "ReworkCTF" board with 20-odd PCB layout bugs designed into it on purpose, ranging from backwards LEDs to missing vias under a BGA to inner layer differential pair swaps.
The original board had some design issues that made some of the fixes easier/harder than intended, and also ancient, I think now EOL, parts (a Spartan-3A FPGA - even if not EOL nobody wants to use one of those in 2026).
I'm hoping to do a gen 2 of the challenge soon probably based…

Chromium does weekly stable releases, and typically there are at least a few CVE fixes in a new release. Sometimes there's just one or two, but usually there's around 10-20.
The latest #chromium stable release (147.0.7727.55) has *60* CVEs. I don't know if that's LLMs being better at finding security holes or what, but that's the most I've ever seen by far.

No more half-measures for the Raiders under Klint Kubiak and John Spytek https://raiderramble.com/2026/02/16/no-more-half-measures-for-the-raiders-under-klint-kubiak-and-john-spytek/
Proper #security nightmare time.
#LMDB is a database that's designed to operate on trusted input. Upstream has historically rejected all bug reports regarding problems with malformed input.
Py-LMDB project provides #Python bindings to LMDB that are normally built against bundled LMDB. Someone recently started mass-filing "untrusted input" vulnerabilities against py-lmdb, and py-lmdb started #slop - coding fixes to their bundled LMDB. Of course, nobody even bothered reporting most of these bugs upstream, and the one that I've seen reported was rejected as "don't do that".
Py-LMDB supports building against system LMDB, and #Gentoo was doing that so far. However, now we are facing a problem: system LMDB operates under the assumption that it is working on trusted input, while py-lmdb (and its bundled LMDB) operates under the assumption that it may be working with untrusted input. The guarantees no longer align.
If we continue to use system LMDB (and skip all the added slop tests that literally cause Python to crash), then Gentoo's py-lmdb package will now have different input expectations than upstream py-lmdb. And of course we can't just remove that crap because someone added exactly one package (TorchVision, i.e. part of the plagiarism machine suite) depending on it.
