I've read a couple of different post-mortems on the uutils CVEs in Ubuntu now. I still love Rust, but I'm struck by a couple of things. A lot of this comes down to TOCTOU, time of creation to time of use. Those issues would be mostly mitigated if the code took full advantage of Unix features such as passing file descriptors rather than paths, or passing permissions to file creation functions instead of creating a file and then modifying the permissions. The path of least resistance f…

Important: the best way is to upgrade server OpenSSH version but that's not always feasible like on servers using LTS Ubuntu etc.

Pretty strong consensus in the replies to just use Debian.

I know nothing about Debian, does it have something that’s comparable to Ubuntu LTS for server use?

Set up a fourth CI builder instance running the freshly released Ubuntu Resolute / 26.04. I might eventually put a GPU on it, but for the moment it's using llvmpipe (I do want to run some tests without a GPU just to make sure that config works).
Temps were acceptable, but on the warm side, maxing out just under 80C CPU temp. Interestingly the DIMMs and VRMs on one side are much hotter than the others. I need to go back and look at the motherboard diagram, perhaps I could do some 3D…

I don't know who needs to see this, but I've had some issues with a pre-26.04 Ubuntu, which were (apparently) fixed with the following:
echo "@{run}/systemd/journal/dev-log wm," > /etc/apparmor.d/local/unix-chkpwd

Just noticing how in #ubuntu 24 with 2 screens the frames dropped in youtube jumps when the other screen has a webpage that is anything other then a static bit of html. very upsetting!

2nd time in 2 days ubuntu has frozen and crashed out to the login screen. I need to find some event log and find out what is happening.

qa_user: User interactions on Q&A websites (2016)
Networks of interactions among users from four online Q&A sites: Stack Overflow, Math Overflow, Super User, and Ask Ubuntu. A directed edge (i,j) indicates a user i responded to user j's post. Edges are timestamped. For each Q&A site, four differently defined networks are provided, based on the definition of an edge: (i) a user answered a question, (ii) a user commented on a question, (iii) a user commented on an answer…

Singal snap pack having a fun time trying to render in #ubuntu

Today's horrifying realization: the Debian and NixOS logos are vaguely butthole shaped. Even CentOS if you squint enough.
And Ubuntu is practically 3-handed goatse.
No wonder systemd is ensloppifying.

hmmm... unclear but youtube started dropping frames again. Seems like the nvidia driver changes from 590 back to 570? I changed it back to 590 and I think it works better. small chance it's better because a computer restart?
I've restarted my #ubuntu more then I ever restarted windows.

gpatered is only a snappack and not a flatpack?

My ubuntu had another very bad wake up from suspension. Could barely get the login to present. typing was mega slow. Mouse barely moved. Did manage to open the UI to restart the machine this time.
After restart I used claude to see if it could find the reason. It found a USB device (my external cd drive) that was spamming errors. I could see the errors stop when I unplugged it.
How embarrassing for ubuntu that it lets those errors grind the system to a halt.
