@adelgado@eu.mastodon.greenI'm having a hell of a day with Firefox today (and part of yesterday). Since 126.0 was released many websites make Firefox crash (for example opening images here in Mastodon but also a Grafana dashboard and others). All in Gnome with Wayland and Ubuntu 24.04. Are other people having the same issues?
#Firefox
@publicvoit@graz.socialI AM SO DISAPPOINTED WITH UBUNTU 24.04 😡

@fooflington@infosec.exchangeOdd things Ubuntu does
Having just booted a new VM up using the official #Canonical #Ubuntu image on #Azure, I noticed that, during the first boot cycle, it makes a call out to "entropy.ubuntu.com"
This is done by the "polliniate" package which describes itself:
pollinate is an entropy as a service client. It will fetch a random seed from one or more remote servers, and feed those into a (pseudo) random number generator. This is often useful in cloud and virtual machine environments with limited sources of entropy.
https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/man1/pollinate.1.html
There's something oddly jarring about this. Not least because this call-out for "supplementary" entropy is done after generating the host's SSH keys.
I hope, hope very much, that someone with Prof in their title from a very well regarded Computer Science department has written a paper suggesting this is ok.
@keen456@infosec.exchangeWow - 12 years of security and support coverage. That's wild. Can't even imagine how complex this is.

@iam_jfnklstrm@social.linux.pizzaUppgraderade till Ubuntu 24.04 och därmed Gnome 46 - en lite småmysig upplevelse för en vanilla guy som jag. #Ubuntu
@to3k@tomaszdunia.plHello beautiful! 😍 #Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
@dennisfaucher@infosec.exchangeSo, I would never use Alpine Linux as my daily driver as so many third party packages only come as a .deb or a .rpm, but I must say, the apk package manager is blazingly fast. apt is slower and snap can be a tortoise.

@joe@toot.worksI am unsure how to fix "Unable to change power state from D3hot to DO, device inaccessible". I would have expected that installing desktop #ubuntu would have gotten easier over the years.

@floheinstein@chaos.socialI just found out that the newest ubuntu release is called Noble Numbat.
That made naming the first test VM easy
