why does fennec/firefox android report gyroscope data without asking? websites have no good reason to know this

Living on the East Coast means my radio-controlled atomic wall clock is completely deaf to the atomic (WWVB) signal from Colorado. In the attached video, I am using my smartphone to force the clock to sync to exact Internet time via a clever hardware hack. 1/4

NOT ANOTHER ONE

second linux LPE of the day

https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/05/07/8

another linux LPE, this time without even a patch or CVE number yet (but there's a mitigation of preventing esp4, esp6, and rxrpc modules from loading)

I have an exam tomorrow morning and I have not revised at all

if this post gets greater than or equal to four (4) interactions i will make a music in a random* yamaha soundchip

*not really random

good morning

good night

Being able to unlock the bootloader of a device you own should be legally mandated. I own the hardware, I should own the functionality of it too. I can get the modem being illegal to modify, since that has a ton of regulatory and public safety tape around it, but the OS being irreplacible is dumb.

Also, unlocking the bootloader should be as simple as sending a command to the device. Screw this trend of needing unlock codes (looking at you Motorola, Fairphone, and Co.).

Boost this if you think DENIC should just hand out free hosts files in the meantime

Life finds a way

my dear sysops: where do you store backups?

i’m looking for something below 2EUR/TB, because otherwise it’s just more cost-effective to buy drives and create a small backup server…

the whole thing would be in the ballpark of 30-40TB, so if you want to suggest hetzner storageboxes… uh…

With Windows 9x Subsystem for Linux you can run all your favourite Windows and Linux apps side-by-side with a modern Linux kernel running cooperatively with the Windows kernel in ring 0. And unlike modern WSL, no hardware virtualisation is used so even your 486 can run it!

Please enjoy, I think this might be one of my greatest hacks of all time

OpenWrt is still vulnerable to copyfail and doesn’t compile algif_aead as a module or include BPF-LSM support

Edit: it does, in fact, compile algif_aead as a module (kmod-crypto-user)

If you are as annoyed as me about the fancy CVE-2026-31431 website not actually mentioning what Kernel versions to update to (only mentioning the commit rev), I translated this for you by looking through the releases manually and checking if they contain the fix.

The following upstream kernel tags contain the fix:

6.6.137+
6.12.85+
6.18.22+
6.19.12+
7.0+

But of course your distro might also apply the patches on any other version, and they will hopefully provide that information.

Edit: added 6.6/6.12 versions
