@ajroach42 I've got bluetooth headphones with a 3.5mm trrs hole!

They still don't work unless charged 😑

This is what is happening without copyeditors. They left off a zero.
Trump has long wanted to lose 15 pounds. Physicians wish he would. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/08/23/doctors-say-trump-weight-poses-significant-health-risk/

Are you a content creator on #YouTube, blog using self-hosted CMS like #Wordpress? And do you have to deal with online harassment in the comments section?

At @show we've been helping @shirewood test out a new system that reduces creator exposure to targeted hate, be it racism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. It's a software program written by LGBTQIA+ folk designed to protect our own and other harassed folk.

Would you like to test it? Would you be interested in it as a service? And what would you pay for it?

Trump suggerisce di poter usare l’esercito sui mercati obbligazionari: ‘Se dobbiamo usarlo, lo faremo’

Venerdì il presidente psicopatico ha suggerito che potrebbe usare l'esercito per organizzare un "intervento sui mercati obbligazionari" mentre rispondeva in modo confuso a un giornalista che chiedeva informazioni sugli sforzi del Segretario al Tesoro Scott Bessent per abbassare i rendimenti alle stelle

@quixoticgeek @alice is that the Hohenzollern bridge in Cologne?

I think John likes the idea that his landline will still work when the power is out and the internet is down.

@barubary and here's what i sent to coreutils about the backdoor in linux crypto/

Hello coreutils,

I was hoping to open a discussion about implementing the BLAKE3 algorithm, the project's understanding of length extension attacks, and how an archive format might be able to take advantage of features of tree hashes of this variety in concert with an implementation such as coreutils.

I would love nothing more than to engage in this, but I happened to be made aware of a new section in the kernel config through what seems to have been "luck" on Friday and a lot of facially broken changes are being added at an incredible clip.


So that you can quickly determine if I am wasting your time: if you have a local checkout, the following abbreviated refs modify what I believe to be precisely an area coreutils builds using the `--with-linux-crypto` configure script would subsequently become affected by. These are from two engineers, one David Howells from Red Hat / IBM, and Eric Biggers of Google.

This is my checkout of Linus's checkout:
https://codeberg.org/cosmicexplorer/linux/src/branch/master

This is Linus's checkout:

In particular, there was:
- ML-DSA module signing added with this openly broken config section:
config PKCS7_WAIVE_AUTHATTRS_REJECTION_FOR_MLDSA
+ bool "Waive rejection of authenticatedAttributes for ML-DSA"
+ depends on PKCS7_MESSAGE_PARSER
+ depends on CRYPTO_MLDSA
+ help
+ Due to use of CMS_NOATTR with ML-DSA not being supported in
+ OpenSSL < 4.0 (and thus any released version), enabling this
+ allows authenticatedAttributes to be used with ML-DSA for
+ module signing. Use of authenticatedAttributes in this
+ context is normally rejected.

- wide-ranging changes to cryptographic APIs (I was under the impression `include/crypto/public_key.h` is shared with dependents such as coreutils)


- finally, there is this new directory `scripts/livepatch`, with two files of significance:
1. fix-patch-lines, which pretty openly states that its goal is to create patch files that work after nontrivial modifications
2. klp-build, which will modify and update the kernel configuration so that it the above is not exposed.

I had been looking to type a more general document at some length and continued to find further and further issues and thought this might at least be sufficient for your purposes. I will note that david howells in particular had performed a hard reset of some variety on his fork last night, and lwn had multiple articles online over the weekend which mentioned his name:

https://lwn.net/Articles/1012946/
https://lwn.net/Articles/525592/

I do apologize for introducing this and would like to contribute and to learn from your team further under better circumstances. I happened to be working on packaging coreutils in the spack package manager (where it is already packaged, but not quite as nicely as it could be), and I was relieved to no end to hear that coreutils checksumming remains distinct from the torrent of real harm that linux users will likely face.

binutils was also mentioned in an faddr2line script but not in the way a library dependency might be concerned about.

Thanks, and sorry,

Okay, *bonus* slug of rye: I totally did *not* respond to that community email about using NVC to resolve a conflict.

I am like a bright star, shooting across the night sky of conversational restraint.

Hit me.
