My server got compromised last week by this, Slashdot is quite far behind.

There's two new exploits in the Copy Fail class that do privilege escalation everyone should be worried about on shared servers. Copy Fail 2: Electric Boogaloo (https://github.com/0xdeadbeefnetwork/Copy_Fail2-Electric_Boogaloo) and Dirty Frag (https://github.com/V4bel/dirtyfrag)

I am rather disappointed that Ubuntu sat on these LPEs for a month without releasing a fix.

You realize there are a bunch of homes available for sale in all sorts of places for next to nothing. The problem isn't "housing", it is "housing where people want to live". Declining population in places like Italy have created housing collapse where nice houses aren't sold, and sit empty, and they'll pay you to move into one.

It isn't colonial, it is industrial. The current format of school is that of preparing for a factory workforce. We are post industrial, knowledge/AI/Whatever it will be called workforce.

Educators need to come to grip with getting EVERY child their MAX educational value we can. This means breaking the rows and columns of desks in a classroom, and getting kids their most valuable education they can get. This means some will do much better than others. Talent has gradations. Not everyone can be a Astro Physics expert.

"fair" is subjective. What you think is "fair" isn't really fair. It is objectively unfair to use qualitative terms in discussion of policy.

What would be fair, is that Government live within the means we ALREADY tax out of the public. Cut Spending first. Then, when all cuts that can be made, are made, then MAYBE we can have a discussion on tax increases.

Its Not Your Money.

Envy isn't a virtue.

Submission + - Slowbooks, AI coded cleanroom re-imagined Quickbooks (github.com)

Archangel Michael writes: The Story
VonHoltenCodes ran QuickBooks 2003 Pro for 14 years for side business invoicing and bookkeeping. Then the hard drive died. Intuit's activation servers have been dead since ~2017, so the software can't be reinstalled. The license paid for is worthless.

So he built his own replacement, transferred all his data from the old .QBW file using IIF export/import.

The codebase is annotated with "decompilation" comments referencing QBW32.EXE offsets, Btrieve table layouts, and MFC class names — a tribute to the software that served him well for 14 years before its maker decided it should stop working.

This is a clean-room reimplementation. No Intuit source code was available or used.

This is why Monopolies and Oligopolies SUCK.

They lobby the governments of the world to not be held accountable and it is in their best interest to limit production to raise demand. Without competitors why should they lower supplies or increase capacity?

Infact, the mem makers got busted3x times for price fixing in the past 25 years! Micron or Hynix even stated they do not want to increase production in case the AI fad dies and they are suck with an abundance of supply.

The US also has a far right wing government now where nvidia, sumsung, and others paid for Trumps ballroom when the East Wing was demoed so the FCC won't do anything now. ... money well spent.
