Issues regarding foreign nationals were a key focus in Japan’s Upper House election only six months ago, but what about in the upcoming Lower House election? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/20/japan/politics/election-immigration-policy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #ldp #sanaetakaichi #cra #2026lowerhouseelection
In calling a snap election merely three months into her tenure, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is making it personal. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/20/japan/politics/takaichi-presser-election/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #ldp #sanaetakaichi #2026lowerhouseelection #cra
Everyone that manages security reports for Open Source projects have been getting a higher workload because of AI. Both real reports and just slop - reports including vulnerabilities in code that doesn't exist. For some, this is becoming a denial of service attack, with developers having to spend valuable, and in some cases unpaid, time to sort out what's real and may be a vulnerability.
Jarek Potiuk, member of The Apache Software Foundation will talk about this on the GVIP Summit Wednesday Jan 28th in Brussels. We still have a few seats available - but hurry up to register!
The Centrist Reform Alliance (CRA) — a new party formed by the opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan and Komeito — announced its basic policies and party platform on Monday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/19/japan/politics/cra-policies-security-energy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #cra #2026lowerhouseelection #komeito #cdp #junazumi #tetsuosaito #henoko #futenma #okinawa #sanaetakaichi #sanseito
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is executing a political gambit by calling a surprise snap election three months into her tenure. Will her “carpe diem” moment pay off? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/19/japan/politics/takaichi-election-announcement/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #ldp #sanaetakaichi #2026lowerhouseelection #cra
Japan's opposition politics remain fragmented as Komeito and the CDP merge to form a new party, despite policy divides and a history of electoral struggles. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/18/japan/japans-rare-snap-election/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #sanaetakaichi #ldp #komeitolowerhouse #komeito #cdp #centristreformalliance #cra #tetsuosaito #yoshihikonoda #sokagakkai #ccp #aeon #china #shinzoabe #fumiokishida #shigeruishiba #jip
Yoshihiko Noda, leader of the main opposition CDP, is likely to be the prime minister candidate of the Centrist Reform Alliance, the new party jointly formed by the CDP and Komeito. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/17/japan/politics/noda-pm-candidate-centrist-reform-alliance/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #yoshihikonoda #cra #cdp #komeito #ldp #diet #lowerhouse #sanaetakaichi #nipponishin

@cheri_alliance has posted about the Secure Horizons event in Duxford next week, which will be a great event for people who want to understand how CHERI (and, especially, CHERIoT) can make regulator compliance easier for secure IoT devices (as well as actually making them more secure).
Registration is still open and some SCI folks will be there!
The implementation of the EU Cyber Resilience Act, #CRA is currently underway but several questions remain open, especially regarding its implications for the #FreeSoftware landscape.
Find out more and check out the results of the CRA survey the FSFE did as part as
a workstream within the @bsi project ‘Dialogue for Cybersecurity’,
"Secure Software Lifecycle for Open Source Software" according to the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI)

Hey Fedi! What's a short list of best practices for writing or configuring software to:
1. Not be a source of a DDoS attack
2. Be more resilient to a DDoS attack
I know basics (e.g. disable recursive DNS resolution, use as few resources as possible on incoming connections till verified as legit) but I would like a complete list and, boy howdy, all the search results are someone providing a DDoS protection service.
This is for the CRA OS standard, funded by EFTA and the EC

Hier ist das Recording für meinen Talk auf den #datenspuren am Wochenende, der dazu anregen soll, kleine dezentrale Serviceprovider um ein oder mehrere Open Source Komponenten zu bauen, in Antizipation des #CRA.
Ich hatte davor und danach einige interessante Gespräche mit Feedback von Maintainer:innen, und frage nun hier nochmal: Was denkt ihr dazu? https://media.ccc.de/v/ds25-587-verteilte-scharniere-zwischen-maintainer-innen-und-industrie
