Benvenutə nel gruppo di discussione sul Fediverso.
Questo è lo spazio dedicato al Fediverso, l’alternativa libera, decentralizzata e federata alle piattaforme delle Big Tech. Un luogo per conoscere, usare e diffondere strumenti come Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube e molte altre soluzioni etiche, dove la persona è al centro, non il profitto.
Usare Facebook, Twitch, YouTube, Instagram e simili vi trasforma in una sorta di giullari di corte: intrattenete il re (la piattaforma) sperando di ottenere qualche avanzo di attenzione, retweet o like rischiando sempre di essere messi da parte se non siete abbastanza “divertenti” o utili ai loro obiettivi. È come stare alla mercé di una corte virtuale, dove la vostra voce passa solo se ritenuta gradita. Il Fediverso quindi è la risposta concreta a un web diventato tossico e chiuso:
- ❌ Niente algoritmi manipolatori
- ❌ Niente pubblicità
- ❌ Niente sorveglianza e tracciamento delle abitudini.
🔗 Seguici anche su:
- Mastodon – aggiornamenti quotidiani dal mondo del Fediverso
- Telegram – notizie, guide e segnalazioni sul fediverso
- Newsletter – un riepilogo mensile di quello che capita nel fediverso italiano.
- account consigliati – Lista degli account che raccontano il fediverso.

⇒ Code That Built the Internet: The Impact of BSD, Part 1
Like the Spanish Inquisition, nobody expected the internet. Its earliest appearance (as ARPANET) took place in the same year—1969—as the comedy troupe behind the Spanish Inquisition quip, Monty Python. But during its first decade, the internet was treated as a convenience for file-sharing and a couple other applications; few observers anticipated how it would alter modern life until decades later. The major institution that brought computers into the internet age was the University of California at Berkeley, which created a version of Unix that they called the Berkeley Software Distribution and is now known as BSD.

FreeBSD becoming NIST FIPS 140-3 compliant
A key component for FreeBSD becoming NIST FIPS 140-3 compliant was completed when FreeBSD upgraded from OpenSSL 3.0 to 3.5. One of the other requirements for FIPS 140-3 (and post-quantum cryptography) is having sufficient random entropy in the system to generate sufficiently random numbers. NIST SP800-90B provides some guidelines on how to achieve that…
PS: This strikes me as a significant development, which is why I am posting it here

Port knocking is mostly a bad idea. But people keep wanting to do it, for some false sense of security. If you don't consider it a security control but a way to keep garbage out of your logs, it might be valid. In my case I'm using an old USG Pro 4 running OpenBSD as my firewall and I'd prefer to avoid writing stuff to the logs, as I'd prefer the flash not to wear out sooner than needed, definitely not thanks to background radiation on the internet.

OpenBSD's sppp_pap_input function used attacker-controlled length fields as the bcmp comparison length for credential validation. Sending zero-length name and password fields caused bcmp to return 0 unconditionally, bypassing PAP authentication entirely. The vulnerability was introduced in 1999 and survived for 27 years before being fixed.

The purpose of this post is to summarise the various details regarding upcoming changes, improvements and new features in Linux 7.1.
See:
⇒ Linux 7.1 Lands ARM64 NEON-Accelerated CRC64-NVMe For ~6x Improvement:
Descr: Merged 13/04 were all the CRC code updates for the Linux 7.1 kernel. Most notable with that pull is an ARM64-optimized CRC64-NVMe implementation that can deliver multiple times faster performance...⇒ Linux 7.1 Revamps T10 PI Data Integrity Handling For Better Read Performance:
Descr: Merged 13/04 for the Linux 7.1 kernel is overhauling the T10 PI code for generating and verifying data integrity information. In turn the new code is cleaner while also allowing for better read storage performance...⇒ Linus Torvalds Rejects Performance Fix "Hack" & Kconfig "Terrible Things" For Linux 7.1:
Descr: While a lot of interesting new features and changes have been merged already for the Linux 7.1 merge window, two pull requests stand out so far for being rejected by Linus Torvalds and complete with his to-the-point commentary...⇒ LLM-Assisted Patches For Linux 7.1 May Have Negative Impact On 32-bit Systems:
Descr: Code now merged for the Linux 7.1 kernel may provide some negative performance implications for those still running modern Linux kernels on 32-bit hardware. A fundamental change can present cache line alignment and slab sizing implications for 32-bit Linux OS users but will provide for cleaner code with modern 64-bit computing...⇒ Linus Torvalds Merged The Code Beginning To Remove Intel 486 CPU Support In Linux 7.1:
Descr: As a follow-up to the news first-covered on Phoronix earlier this month about Linux 7.1 expected to begin removing i486 CPU support: it indeed happened. Linus Torvalds took the initial removal bits today without any fuss today for beginning the phase out of M486 / M486SX / ELAN kernel support...⇒ exFAT For Linux 7.1 Helps Reduce File Fragmentation, Fixes:
Descr: The exFAT file-system changes have landed for the in-development Linux 7.1 kernel...⇒ Linux 7.1 Gets Rid Of Some Unnecessary Memory Clobbers:
Descr: The x86/asm changes merged yesterday for the Linux 7.1 kernel with a few low-level improvements...⇒ AMD EDAC Driver In Linux 7.1 Adds Support For Zen 3 Rembrandt Hardware With ECC:
Descr: The Error Detection And Correction "EDAC" subsystem updates have been merged for Linux 7.1 that deal with reporting of ECC memory errors and the like from various hardware drivers...⇒ Linux 7.1 Adds New Child Auto-Reap & PIDFD Auto-Kill Flags For clone3():
Descr: The clone3() system call in Linux 7.1 is adding three new flags for greater control over the creation of child processes...
If someone has others sources of informations about this topic, please, do not hesitate to post-IT!
(06/15) ⇒ Linux Kernel 7.1 is a Feature Release That Could Be Useful For You Don't let the .1 fool you, this release has plenty to offer. https://itsfoss.com/news/linux-kernel-7-1-release/ ⇒ GNU Linux-libre 7.1-gnu Released With More Driver Deblobbing, Unhappy With i486 Removal Following yesterday's release of the upstream Linux 7.1 kernel release, GNU Linux-libre 7.1 is out with its new build for de-blobbing various drivers from loading non-free-software microcode/firmware and other sanitizing of the kernel code in the name of software freedom. https://www.phoronix.com/news/GNU-Linux-Libre-7.1 -

… My main focus has been getting all the issues fixed with Gershwin Desktop so I can make an image include that + more kexts ASAP. Wifi kexts load but I need to port some 80211 stuff to integrate wifi into configd, etc. More to come. …
…
Mach IPC, launchd (replaces /sbin/init), configd/IPconfiguration (replaces netif), IOkit (replaces devmatch, devd). Resulting in automatic graphics detection, automatic networking with state change handling, service supervision, parallel startup to name a few things. I have other ideas beyond Darwin components like porting smb3 from illumos that I have been brewing about for a long time. New frameworks for jails, bhyve. The equivalent of dockerhub for jails. Management tools comparable to this https://www.hexbsd.org (an earlier creation of mine). A revived NAS appliance. A Gershwin on NextBSD image (desktop appliance).
For people who are new to all of this:

The result of
Code, using the button in the editor here:
I remade the post with
text-specific formatting. No better, still wrapped in Mastodon:
-
Essentially, two commands:
pkg upgrade -Fqypkg upgrade -qUy && shutdown -r +30 "restarting with an upgraded kernel"
– it was not necessary to repeat the first.
root@clean:~ # freebsd-version -kru ; uname -mvKU 15.1-RC3-p1 15.1-RC3-p1 15.1-RC3-p1 FreeBSD 15.1-RC3-p1 releng/15.1-n283561-e89f5d0df8fd GENERIC amd64 1501000 1501000 root@clean:~ # pkg upgrade -Fqy root@clean:~ # pkg upgrade -qUy Generating apropos(1) database for /usr/share/man... Generating apropos(1) database for /usr/share/openssl/man... ===== Message from FreeBSD-local-unbound-15.1: -- After upgrading local-unbound, the configuration file should be regenerated by running "service local_unbound setup" before restarting the service. root@clean:~ # freebsd-version -kru ; uname -KU 15.1-RELEASE 15.1-RC3-p1 15.1-RELEASE 1501000 1501000 root@clean:~ # shutdown -r +30 "restarting with an upgraded kernel"Please note
This is not an encouragement to perform upgrades before official announcements.
For the second command, I used the
--quietand--yesoptions only because in this case – a test machine in VirtualBox – I had confidence that installing packages would have no adverse effect. You should never combine those two options without knowing exactly what you're doing.It was a simple upgrade, not a minor or major upgrade.

It's a sensationalist article, which is not a bad thing in this case.
Less sensationally, but critical (9.8/10):
For the other three vulnerabilities, all moderate, that are mentioned in the article:
