Several factors – including the LLM craze, the increase in Linux’s popularity as a desktop OS, the almost unanimous use of Linux in the cloud and on servers – are causing attackers to shift focus onto the unsuspecting FOSS community. 
 The recent attacks and vulnerabilities made me realize that the way most people use Linux desktops is absolutely not ready for simple malware,…
Today I found something very interesting. 
 The Last Ping is a project where Claude AI is given complete control over a Linux server. It can do whatever it pleases to do. The catch is that it plays permadeath - if it makes a mistake, no one is there to save it. No backups, no assistance. 
 This basically means the LLM is fighting for its life. 
 How it works 
 It follows a daily…
You can see it at the bottom of this post and it might start popping up on posts where I think it makes sense to have comments. 
 It’s deliberately collapsed by default for two reasons: 
 
 To avoid distracting the reader while they read the article 
 To avoid visual clashing - the widget’s styling is an extremely poor fit for the site 
 
 The widget is powered…
The corporate world realized a long time ago that passwords are obsolete. Unfortunately, FOSS OIDC providers don’t seem to have gotten the memo, and Linux is being left in the dust. 
 Thankfully, Quorra is here to solve that! 
 The situation 
 At the time of writing I couldn’t find a FOSS OIDC provider that is both simple to deploy and offers passwordless user authentication -…
If the state really has the best services that could be provided, why doesn’t it allow the private sector to compete with them? 
Well, probably because it simply doesn’t have the best services. We can see this for ourselves whenever we come into contact with anything run by the state. 

Update time! 
 This time I had the courage to admit that I am in fact not a web developer
nor do I want to be. So I ripped it off! 😋 
 Okay, well not completely. I still did a bit of work. 
 Where is it actually from? 
 The original website’s author is TheEvilSkeleton . I was
completely fascinated by the use of system accent colors and the site feels very
nice…
University 
 I dropped out before finishing the first semester.
I failed two main subjects which left me with too little credit to pass the semester. 
 I was taught to believe that getting a degree is the most important thing ever and failing that made me feel like a complete failure. 
 More attempts 
 The obvious move was to try to “fix” things by getting back into…
What happened? 
 After I initially got the site running with Jekyll ~2 years ago I was really happy with it.
But I quickly realized that Jekyll was the wrong templating engine choice. 
 It was also my first attempt at a statically generated site.
It had a lot of issues and I quickly realized it would need a rewrite. 
 And as with most things, I’ve been putting that…
Last week was my first university week.
It was pretty cool.
I was super nervous about how everything is going to work and such.
I felt like I was leaping into the unknown (which I kinda was). 
 It is all pretty complicated and there was lots of information to remember just from the first week.
Every subject has different rules of classification.
But I feel like I can keep a…
Intro 
 Alright, it’s no secret that I like GNOME.
I like how the interface looks by default,
I like that they don’t feel obligated to follow a traditional
Windows-like workflow.
I like that they’re going for convergence between handheld and desktop devices
(and they’re succeeding in that I think). Seriously libhandy is so cool! 
 The problem…
