Yeah I wouldn't be all that interested either

its clear that eventually all the office apps will be web apps in either your browser or their own individual chromium instances. At least it means Linux users will finally get Microsoft office ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Where do you live that power is so cheap that you can spin that much rust and also can you run extension lead to my place?

Nothing, someone who never needed access to the RHEL snapshot source is butt hurt that it only exists as part of centOS stream, making it harder for community rebuilds to exist.

It's no big deal for 95% of users, truly a nonissue. That last 5% can buy RHEL for production or use it for free for personal hosting or development.

fucking noobs and their shitty planet

but it kind of smells like a B, you know?

I understand that the Linux ecosystem in general was ultimately the target, yes.

I was answering "how many people use those?"

I was on Fedora Kinoite 40 testing compose when it hit... so me

Fedora 40 testing branch and rawhide got it as well, as well tumbleweed and debian sid

Obviously it's a difficult sell - but if this got positive attention I could see Fesco relenting and "upgrading" the branding on Fedora KDE to Fedora Plasma Workstation

Nuke from orbit might be an overreaction, if you need that machine perhaps disable ssh or turn the machine off until later next week when the postmortems happen. If you need that trusted machine now, then yes fresh install

Perhaps it was a poorly worded way of suggesting that invalidating host keys would invalidate all client keys it could potentially generate? Either way it's a lot of speculation.

Resetting the keys and SSH config on any potentially compromised host is probably not a terrible idea

some people in my mastodon feed are suggesting that the backdoor might have connected out to malicious infrastructure or substituted its own SSH host keys, but I can't find any clear confirmation. More info as the investigation progresses.

I guess at this point if you're on Fedora 40 or rawhide clear / regen your host keys, even after xz version rollback
