  • F5 says hackers stole undisclosed BIG-IP flaws, source code

    Jump

  • It’s technically accurate, just referencing a stupidly named product:

    BIG-IP is the firm's flagship product used for application delivery and traffic management by many large enterprises worldwide.

    It’s unclear how long the hackers maintained access, but the company confirmed that they stole source code, vulnerability data, and some configuration and implementation details for a limited number of customers.

  • The new attack, named Pixnapping by the team of academic researchers who devised it, requires a victim to first install a malicious app on an Android phone or tablet. The app, which requires no system permissions, can then effectively read data that any other installed app displays on the screen. Pixnapping has been demonstrated on Google Pixel phones and the Samsung Galaxy S25 phone and likely could be modified to work on other models with additional work. Google released mitigations last month, but the researchers said a modified version of the attack works even when the update is installed.

  • Out of curiosity is your nvme drive newer than your bios? I was having intermittent issues on FreeBSD with an nvme drive and it turned out to be due to old bios making the drive “glitch” and mess with zfs.

  • How are you supposed to synchronise the packaging of medication that comes in different quantities?

  • If you’re in the US, you may be eligible for mail pharmacies. Your insurance company may have one they prefer that is also cheaper than pharmacy. There’s also cost plus drugs which does mail order for pretty cheap on generics at least. Otherwise I’d say best bet is to talk to the pharmacist they may be able to finagle an adjustment to the timing if they call the insurer.

  • Android/Phone Alternatives? [Discussion]

    Jump

  • As in ready to go phones? Not really no. There are Linux phones like the pine phone, but they are not really ready for prime time in any way.

    sailfish os says its Linux based and supports android abi 33, but they’re Europe only. I’ve not heard much about them other than they support old Sony Xperia phones so can’t really comment if they’re more usable than the pinephone.

  • I use bsd containers for everything but home assistant on my home server and love them! The downside for most people at the moment is having to set them up manually. I can export the thin jail and move the archive across computers as backups and the fine tuned control is beautiful. FreeBSD offers a way to check for security vulnerabilities in installed packages (pkg audit -F) that I run as a cron job and email myself daily to check for needed updates.

    Problem is most people want a single docker install and it’s all set up, not something that needs manual configuration. Bastille has templates that can do this for bsd jails but there’s not a lot of services with templates.

    Edit: also frustrating is a lot of new apps for home servers only offer a docker install so installing from source becomes a huge pita and makes bsd jails harder to use (looking at you gramps-web specifically).

  • That makes sense, even if it seems dumb to be “pre-punished” for something I’m not planning on doing.

  • There really isn’t anything I couldn’t replace my phone with a tablet that stays in the house for, and it has been a growing thought to switch back to a dumb phone.

  • No kidding. It’s been infuriating to see stuff on Facebook again, and I don’t appreciate that it’s been the only way I’ve gotten people to buy used stuff we needed to get rid of to free up space.

  • Do you play an instrument? What's your favorite thing about it?

    Jump

  • It is an incredibly rewarding instrument! I rewired a conn 650 for midi to practice at home, but most of my practice and learning came from where I got lessons. Since they’re not exactly a portable instrument if you talk with an organist/music director if they don’t have an organist there’s a good chance they’ll let you practice on the church’s instrument.

  • I’ve played the trumpet for 27 years now, and have played the pipe organ for 3. Both of them professionally, and the issue with picking a favorite is there’s a ton of fantastic music!

    On the trumpet I’d recommend a listen to Bugler’s Holiday, or Great Gate of Kiev. Possibly my favorite gig as an anecdote was an old Catholic Church in a poor part of the city. They had built an elevated stretch of subway what felt like inches from the church and the priest had to stop his homily every 5 minutes so the subway could go through. The organist ended with the Hallelujah Chorus and it might be the reason I have tinnitus but it was the most heavenly sounding space to play in!

    On the organ, I played Schriener’s adaptation of Louis Vierne’s Maestoso in C. Straight from the get go it’s a fantastic piece to rattle the floors and wake up a church. I’d also recommend Scott’s arrangement of Hymn of the Cherubim as it is much softer and a good idea of the breadth the instrument can cover style wise.
