Linux's Landlock Security Module Lands New Maintainers To Avoid Bit Rot
Upstreamed to the Linux kernel back in 2021 was Landlock as a new means of unprivileged application sandboxing. It aimed to be very powerful and since being upstreamed four years ago has seen some minor enhancements and fixes but has been without any formal code maintainer. Thankfully two developers have stepped up to oversee this Linux security module going foreward...

คิดว่าของจริงน่าจะ vllm แต่ขี้เกียจเรียน อันนั้นก็ไม่ง่าย และในมุม home use มันต้องสลับ model ไปมาลองได้ หรือไม่ใช้แล้ว unload ทิ้ง เปิดแช่ได้
ถ้า tool มัน spawn มาเพื่อรัน 1 model มันไม่ตอบโจทย์ ต้องมี supervisor มันอีกที (จริงๆ ollama มันก็ supervise llama.cpp...)
กำลังสงสัยว่า commercial model tool use มันดีน่าจะเพราะว่า runtime มันน่าจะบังคับ tool call response schema เหมือน structured response ด้วย
แต่ ollama นี่บางทีแค่ให้มัน parse tool call ได้ถูกก็เก่งแล้ว มันเหมือนเป็นแค่ langchain อยู่เลยคือทำที่ frontend เอาไม่ใช่ engine
บางทีก็สงสัยว่า langchain นี่เกิดเร็วไป ตอนนั้นยังไม่มี chatgpt เลย
สุดท้ายโดน konfabulator เข้าไปก็ไม่จำเป็นแล้ว ก็ต้องผันตัวไปทำอย่างอื่น เช่น llm monitoring
รู้สึกว่าถ้ายุคปัจจุบัน pydantic ทำดีกว่าเยอะ

Faircamp 1.5 is out!
To learn what's new, check out the release page:
simonrepp.com/faircamp/changes…
Thank you so much jcx, @keefmarshall and @strk for helping with the new feature and critical fixes, @smoltron for the new finnish translations, and @toctoc, @WebCoder49, @atomkarinca and @vac for the updates to the existing translations! ❤
To learn more about #faircamp visit the website:

And there's more:
1. Tomorrow (July 31st) I'm excited to join @firesidefedi to talk about my projects, including faircamp! If you have questions you'd like to see asked you can send them beforehand or join the livestream! See this post for all show details: social.firesidefedi.live/@fire…
2. In recent weeks I put in a lot of effort to apply for funding for bigger developments next year, as well as to plan and prepare smaller, directly crowdfunded feature work over the coming months. As soon as there are updates on either of the two I'll send word of it - this is just to keep you up to date with some of the not so visible work that is happening behind the scenes as well. :)
3. This release again uses (and improves) tooling for release communication that I'm currently developing and will eventually release as free software.

One of my earliest food memories: buying fresh coconuts from the back of someone’s truck in a parking lot. Walking my coconuts to the back of the Econ Minimart where the auntie who ran it had a coconut squeezer and scraper. Walking away with fresh coconut milk, and a bag of coconut flesh. I was probably four
Then one time, walking to my office in Jakarta and realizing I couldn’t access it because the entire ground floor was full of actual coconuts.
The other day I was watching an American food show and the host was complaining about coconuts in their cake (“so unconventional, you don’t always want coconuts in cakes”) and I was like what are you talking about, I never NOT want coconuts. You guys just have shitty coconuts, shitty coconut milk, and words of all, terrible ‘coconut water’
I miss that part of the world so terribly.
Dark Agent – Im Netz der Geheimdienste
Nahezu jeder Mensch ist angreifbar – einfach, weil er ein Smartphone in der Tasche hat. Dabei geht es nicht nur darum, Daten auszuspähen. Der Podcast „Dark Agent – Im Netz der Geheimdienste“ ergründet eine der ausgeklügeltsten Cyber-Attacken unserer Zeit. Die investigative Recherche führt in eine digitale Schattenwelt.
2023 finden Sicherheitsforscher die ersten infizierten Smartphones. Sie decken auf: Das sind keine Einzelfälle – sondern Teile eines hochentwickelten Cyberangriffs. Sie nennen ihn: „Operation Triangulation“. Wer ausgespäht wurde? Unklar. Wer dahintersteckt? Auch. Sicher ist nur: Jemand hat Millionen investiert, um Menschen zu überwachen und auszuspionieren. Über Jahre hinweg.

The "good" people at Emerson for some reason couldn't think for themselves when I responded to them on behalf of #curl and instead continue and send the same questions to the #libssh2 project with the same "demands".

The We Bare Bears guy is making a Pixar movie about a girl who transplants her mind into a robot hamster. It looks absolutely batsh*t and I'm super excited for it; this is the most excited I've been for a Pixar film in a while:

The whole thing is a drama.
As the accounts are blocked or deleted quite quickly, the block can be removed fairly quickly. However, the problem is that the posts that were sent as phishing comments are only removed from the servers after a few hours. Until then, they remain in the threads.
As a moderator, you inevitably have to block every account at least once. That's really annoying.
What is disappointing is that the Mastodon moderators do not switch to verified registrations. That would put an end to the spook at once.
Here is my yield from today (without the already removed locks):

in reply to Matthias • • •@Matthias maybe we should start blocking whole instances, if they don't start cooperating and helping to prevent spam.
And I don't care if it is mastodon.social or any other big server.
If they don't even take simple steps to prevent spam, then they are among the bad servers and spam distributors that leads to set them on official block lists.
