It's August, so I've said a thing about Secure Boot over here: https://blog.uncooperative.org/uefi/secure%20boot/linux/shim/2026/08/03/shim-info.html

@SRAZKVT@tech.lgbt @argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org @ariadne@social.treehouse.systems believe it or not, Fedora is still a community distro. In any case we don't really need to speculate about all the things LF could do.

Saw The Odyssey. Without spoiling anything, what I'll say is that if you film in 70mm and do a lot of wide open night closeup shots, you're gonna have a bunch of shots of faces that are halfway out of focus.

Dunno why this isn't what I expected ordering a spool of 100' of wire from DigiKey.

Oh, by the way, Microsoft's 2011 UEFI CA expired last week. The world did not end.

TIL*: my retroreflective jacket is bad for photography. The "are you looking through the eye hole" sensor is pretty much perpetually triggered at any distance where I can reach the camera. Well, yesterday.

So, uh, can we criminalize dropping 0days on github without doing /any/ coordinated disclosure yet?

Netgear is the first consumer router company to spam me about being compliant with Trump's FCC's policies. Coincidentally they're also a company I stopped buying routers from many years ago due to built-in backdoors they couldn't fix with a firmware upgrade.

If you have anything to do with Secure Boot on a linux distro, I've written a tool to help with the upcoming UEFI CA expiry and transition to the 2023 certificates, and I could use feedback. Here's my draft PR: https://github.com/rhboot/efivar/pull/294 . (Yes, putting it in efivar is somewhat arbitrary, but all the other options are about the same.) The idea here is that a distro will provide several of the same shim binary in their packaging, i.e. shimx64.msft2011.efi, shimx64.msft202...
