@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange Just for future reference: The Canvas Incident is this: https://edition.cnn.com/2026/05/12/us/canvas-hack-data-returned And it has nothing to do with HTML (and this confused me)

@taduemp63 Let me explain: The kernel module algif_aead had a major security vulnerability (dubbed copy.fail). There was no patch available when the vulnerability was made public, which is why people needed to put a "wrench" in the way to prevent this module from loading. On some distributions the module was loaded dynamically, but on Red Hat the module was built into the kernel and therefore the only way to prevent it from loading was to blacklist the module during boot (by configuring grub). This workaround was typically done by using the grubby tool. And the command that @jwildeboer posted removes the the module from the blacklist again, because the prevention is no longer needed on a patched kernel.

@skeletor You are one of the reasons why the internet is awesome.

@mntmn @crowdsupply This looks really cool. I am a bit surprised about the distribution of USB-A and USB-C ports though. Neither USB type is going away any time soon, but having only one USB-C port available seems to be rather limiting. And if that USB-C port is already occupied by the power cable, you can't use it for something else. This is just my 2c. Different people want to do different things with this device and many people might not need more than one USB-C port.

@bloor please add an #alttext for better accessibility. Thanks!
