Using CRISPR-Cas9, scientists engineered a yeast to produce the nutrient feed. Farmers could have it in two years.

Distributed Denial of Secrets— Mastodon, Bluesky.

Hackers connected to the Iranian government accessed FBI Director Kash Patel’s personal email and posted materials — including photos and documents — taken from his account, a person familiar with the breach confirmed to CNN.

The hackers have published a series of photos of Patel from before he became FBI director that they claim were stolen from his personal email account. A source familiar with the incident confirmed the images’ authenticity.

The stolen emails appear to date from around 2011 to 2022 and appear to include personal, business and travel correspondence that Patel had with various contacts, according to a preliminary CNN review of the files with the help of an independent cybersecurity researcher.

Politics is the science and art of organizing, constituting and managing a state and the direction of public life. Expressing these directions represents a power, a duty and an honour, and even though the common belief behind the political participation is that it is enough to vote during the elections, referendum and political initiatives to be part of the political participation niche, it is also possible to argue that there are multiple and diversified ways to make a political choice. One of the latter is the deliberate choice of the technology we use every day. And the everyday use of the technology starts from the personal computer and the operating system that runs on it. Operating systems not only shape and govern the way we interact with our material hardware but also the way we interact with institutions, private entities and peers.

Choosing an operating system means not only choosing the stack of our virtual life, but it also means adopting a particular perspective, prioritizing certain needs and choosing the way we interact with technology. Making a political use of the technological power means choosing to change the direction of our computing life, gain consciousness on the alternatives and in a way that is equivalent to voting for a party or another, with the discussions, the drawbacks, and the advantages that come with it. This is the power of not letting others choose for us. This power of choosing comes with the necessity of observing the alternatives, and if OS producers are like parties, each of these parties is bringing a priority or an issue to solve. Microsoft, Apple, RedHat and other vendors explicitly state the issue they are trying to solve: Productivity.

But other parties have other issues and other priorities, what if productivity wasn't the most important issue to solve for some? Are there any entities, producers, or institutions with other priorities that can drive the development of a distribution?

It is impossible to analyze the multiple implementations of the human perspective in this wide spectrum. Here, we tried to analyze the distributions based on the purpose that drives the development of the distributions. We hope it might entertain you and if we are lucky, even inspire you.

A post that explains how to keep a YunoHost server running healthily with system updates and how to run application updates (and revert back to a snapshot if things go awry).

Hey all, feel free to delete if sharing YT videos isn't permitted, but I made a video on the Fediverse last week and specifically talking about Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, and Peertube.

Just thought I'd share in case anyone wanders by and wants an overview.

Banks, governments and technology providers need to be prepared for quantum computer hackers capable of breaking most existing encryption systems by 2029, Google has warned.

The tech company said in a blogpost that quantum computers would pose a “significant threat to current cryptographic standards” before the end of the decade and urged other companies to follow its lead.

The company, owned by Alphabet, said: “The encryption currently used to keep your information confidential and secure could easily be broken by a large-scale quantum computer in coming years.”

As it stands, quantum computers – which can rapidly carry out complex tasks – are a nascent technology with great potential and significant obstacles to being widely usable.

Hello Linux community.

I'd like to take a moment to explain what I hope will be a simple concept (so really it's more of a reminder) that everyone should say least know and understand.

Not everyone (myself included) learns best by RTFM. Some of us need a guiding hand or to watch a video instead. It's not that we're lazy or don't like reading, it's just that it doesn't work efficiently enough.

my home server that does everything died many weeks ago so i've been making due with VASTLY inferior backups that literally haven't received updates in over a decade because the manufacturers stop supported them.

i've rebuilt this server many times from old e-waste i had laying around and my last attempt to solicit feedback on the last rebuild yeilded some VERY useful advice so i'm hoping to lightening strikes twice.

my constraints are that i can only use hardware that i have on hand; with the exception of a motherboard since i don't have a functional one this time around, so i plan on buying one used off of craigslist or one of the many local repair shops.

also: deepseek tells me that this hardware are the only things i have on hand that are compatible with each other (and i'm crossing my fingers in the hopes that some of them still work):

• CPU: socket LGA1200 era Intel Celeron
• RAM: 64 gigs DDR4 3200 on 2 128 pin sticks
• CASE: mini itx steel case
• POWER: ATX standard
• DRIVES: 4 SATA, 1 PATA, 2 NVME

i also have a wifi3 router/ap and a wifi4 router/ap combo boxes; these are the backups i'm currently using and they are crazy slow.

i need this build to do the same thing its predecessor did which were (ranked in order of importance):

• router (i used a pfsense virtual machine last time)
• wifi access point (i last used a wifi nic in AP mode)
• DNS adblocking (i used pfBlockerNG last time)
• live kernel patching (used ubuntu last time)
• vlan segmentation (via pfsense)
• vpn routing (via pfsense)
• jbod drives (aka no raid nor HA and permanently mounted on the host)
• backup capabilities (last used rsync initiated server side to laptops & - gmail)
• per device firewall rules (for the robot vacuum and security cameras)
• IDS & IPS (via pfsense)
• home cloud storage (last used pfsense + nfs + sshfs + ddns)
• multimedia system (last used kodi + old plasma tv)

They argue that the shadow library failed to appear in court and ignored the preliminary injunction by releasing millions of tracks that were scraped from Spotify via BitTorrent.
