  • I think it's the other way round, when the amount of interesting SW is rising,the probability of good HW will be higher. And yes, as we can see, the SW can be developed independent of HW.

  • It won't be 😔

  • Pidgin 3.0 Experimental 1 released

    Jump

  • yes

    Initially Pidgin 3 supported both GTK+ 2 and 3 but shortly after Gary took over, GTK+ 2 support was dropped. A few years later, it was then decided we should just bite the bullet and move to GTK 4 instead, as GTK+ 3 was no longer being actively developed which meant we were just creating tech debt. As part of the GTK 4 migration we also pulled in Adwaita even though we’re not an official GNOME application.

  • Kali Linux 2024.4 released

    Jump

  • Purpose-built for Security Testing

    What makes Kali Linux unique is its purpose-built nature for security testing. While other Linux distributions may have security tools, Kali Linux integrates a vast array of them out of the box. This saves time for professionals who require a quick setup for penetration testing and ethical hacking tasks.

    Wide Array of Pre-installed Tools

    Kali Linux boasts a comprehensive selection of pre-installed tools, including but not limited to Wireshark, Nmap, Metasploit, and Aircrack-ng. These tools cover a broad spectrum of security assessments, from network scanning to vulnerability analysis and exploitation.
