immigrant | software engineer in card payments liker of ISO 8583, the 8051, ASN.1, SS7 and EBCDIC. 30-something who's grew up online and has seen it all. sometimes an optimist, sometimes nostalgic. I wrote the ActivityPub initial draft, so this social network is in some way my fault. These days I spend a lot of time studying social dynamics and thinking about how we build social systems which foster a healthier culture. Profile Picture is FALKE from Signalis (you should play it).

Because the responsible disclosure schedule and the embargo have been broken, no patch exists for any distribution. Use the following command to remove the modules in which the vulnerabilities occur. sh -c &quot;printf &#39;install esp4 /bin/false\ninstall esp6 /bin/false\ninstall rxrpc /bin/false\n&#39; &gt; /etc/modprobe.d/dirtyfrag.conf; rmmod esp4 esp6 rxrpc 2&gt;/dev/null; true&quot; but but but… I actually have ipsec tunnels :akko_cry: RE: https://social.infinite...
