    It&#39;s August, so I&#39;ve said a thing about Secure Boot over here: https://blog.uncooperative.org/uefi/secure%20boot/linux/shim/2026/08/03/shim-info.html

    @Brendan @TheWarOnCars So instead she&#39;s going to get a bunch of &quot;does not follow through on promises&quot; criticism?

    Today in being forced to use LLMs because &quot;vulnerability&quot; disclosures have been produced by them: no version numbers or git revisions anywherethe reports are malformed markdown which has then been filed into a jira ticket which doesn&#39;t accept markdown anywayMany of the CVSS scores look like: &quot;CVSS:3.1/AV/AC:L/...&quot; where it should be &quot;AV:L&quot;, but the bot, which again only knows statistically what a CVSS score looks like, is generating gibberish.the diffs for &quot...

    @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&#39;t really need to speculate about all the things LF could do.

    Saw The Odyssey. Without spoiling anything, what I&#39;ll say is that if you film in 70mm and do a lot of wide open night closeup shots, you&#39;re gonna have a bunch of shots of faces that are halfway out of focus.

    It is nasty out there in Camberville. Biked two miles home and I smell like I light my house with coal.

    It is July, and I have said some things about Secure Boot here: https://blog.uncooperative.org/uefi/secure%20boot/linux/shim/2026/07/02/shim-info.html

    Dunno why this isn&#39;t what I expected ordering a spool of 100&#39; of wire from DigiKey.

    Oh, by the way, Microsoft&#39;s 2011 UEFI CA expired last week. The world did not end.

    TIL*: my retroreflective jacket is bad for photography. The &quot;are you looking through the eye hole&quot; 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?

    YouTube recommended a video that&#39;s an interview with a member of my extended family. Send help.

    Netgear is the first consumer router company to spam me about being compliant with Trump&#39;s FCC&#39;s policies. Coincidentally they&#39;re also a company I stopped buying routers from many years ago due to built-in backdoors they couldn&#39;t fix with a firmware upgrade.

    RE: https://void.rehab/notes/akh7k9ygiwu4eo23 Nine fives is really the difficult milestone, IMO.

    If you have anything to do with Secure Boot on a linux distro, I&#39;ve written a tool to help with the upcoming UEFI CA expiry and transition to the 2023 certificates, and I could use feedback. Here&#39;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...

    Anyone know what kind of board connector from the mid 90s has this footprint? I&#39;m pretty sure these are debug points on this board. (share with your electronics friends please?)
