News

Funkwhale releases .20.1


Mobilizon is now beta


Debian released sudo v1.8.28 that fixes CVE 14287, the
vulnerability that allows users to run  applications as root
without permission. It really only affects you if  you’ve
configured sudo improperly but I still recommend upgrading as
 soon as the update hits your mirror. - H/T
Amolith


Whch is going to segway into the other links section.

Nixnet
NixNet.xyz is a network of websites and services hosted by the
 pseudonymous Amolith (me). The main reason I’m hosting these
sites is  because I like to be in control of my own data where
feasible. The  easiest way to accomplish this is to host the
services I use. I make  them public and and maintain them
simply because I want to. The Linux  and FLOSS community has
completely changed my life and I feel like this  is a small
way I can do my part and give back.

He also has an awesome blog! Follow him on Mastodon or through
ActivityPub at the link in the H/T.


I’m considering joining the Federated Networks Association or at
least supporting it.


What they do
Provide information about federated web projects
Arrange trainings and events
Provide travel grants to events
Use funds for marketing campaigns to promote federated web
projects
Use funds to sponsor development work of individuals working on
 federated web projects or directly donating funds to projects
themselves
Show topic - Makng some changes round here!

I started doing some blogging and one of the first posts was
asking if I should start another podcast. Well after asking on
Hubzilla a couple of you actually responded stating that I should
just use this podcast.
