æʃliŋ, loaf of autismo @aescling@cat.family

why does pass(1) as packaged by homebrew have a hard dependency on unbound

@coriander it’s vital research

@Lady @coriander even websites which were on the latest PHP were still advised to go offline until actual patches were made available

@coriander remote code execution vulnerability on an extremely wide number of versions

mornyawn btw . also @clock, what time is it

ÆSCLING ACTIVATES the TF MACHINE!

@vaporeon_ @amy @The_T apparently so that mozilla can control the certificates being used in the browser

@vaporeon_ @amy @The_T i mean, "not receiving push updates from a proprietary service run by mozilla" sounds like decision librewolf would make to me

@amy sounds like a great plan im sure there will be zero negative consequences here c:

@vaporeon_ @The_T lol

@amy @vaporeon_ @The_T mozilla have had a service to push certificate store updates without requiring updating firefox itself because of the severity of the issue. since 2015, apparently. so yeah they were quick on it

@The_T @vaporeon_ yes, exactly

thankfully, thanks to Let's Encrypt, certs can easily be obtained fur free these days. very, very quickly, too

@The_T @vaporeon_ Extended Support Release, older version that is actively maintained, usually targeting organizations who don't want to have to worry about updating things constantly.

(it is also the version purrovided by debian (popular linux based OS, the basis of the even more popular Ubuntu) by default because their entire goal is system stability; packages only update (security updates aside) when the entire goddamn system does)

(it is not infrequently purrefurred by the kind of nerd who does not like recent changes to firefox. i only use stable because a particular extension i wanted to install required a later version than the current ESR)

@The_T @vaporeon_ if you don't have to deal with IT this can be done in seconds with Let's Encrypt, maybe a minute or two if you've never used it befur

if you have to deal with an IT department to get a decision made on this kind of thing.... oh boy.......
