how do people in places where it is regularly >40°C survive (especially without air conditioning)? it is 35°C here and that is already far too hot

(it actually only freed ~74GiB, presumably due to btrfs compression)

two weird networking issues upon rebooting:

1. no ipv6 default route is getting added (“fixed” by adding a static route)

2. > cat /etc/resolv.conf
   nameserver 194.168.4.100
   nameserver 194.168.8.100

   ??? that’s not even my ISP

it’s quite annoying that after updating kde plasma I can’t take screenshots without logging out and back in again:

An error occurred while taking a screenshot.
KWin screenshot request failed:
The process is not authorized to take a screenshot
Potentially relevant information:
- Method: CaptureScreen
- Method specific arguments: "DP-4"

does anyone know if there is any solution to this that does not involve re-logging-in (and therefore killing all graphical programs)?

31°C indoors

I wonder if the gentoo update will be done by the time I wake up (probably not, it's going to compile linux and llvm)

There appears to be some black magic happening here. The font calculates the checksum. https://github.com/graphicore/librebarcode

36°C tomorrow

I’m running out of disk space

A vulnerability in ffmpeg allows remote code execution via a crafted media file https://www.securityweek.com/ffmpeg-pixelsmash-flaw-allows-rce-on-video-players-media-servers-nas-appliances/

This affects anything that would even try to generate a *thumbnail*, and that includes your file browser, your fedi server, etc etc etc.

EDIT: Replies have pointed out that ASLR needed to be disabled for the exploit to work, so it may not be quite as exploitable as the press release makes it sound. Not sure. (At least, not without many retries.) At any rate, look forward to deploying the fix.

good morning

good night (it's almost 5am and already light, I definitely should've gone to bed hours ago)

Fill my tank with Debian, please
