  • Bottom of the page says what to do and gives 2 options to mitigate:

    # update. openssh 10.6p2 fixes it.
    $ apk upgrade openssh
    
    # can't update yet? turn password logins off.
    $ echo "PasswordAuthentication no" > /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/00-no-passwords.conf
    $ rc-service sshd restart
    

    So if you disable password auth and only allow key auth, then you are unaffected (safe).

    The introis a bit confusing but it means that if you have password auth on - then even if your regular ssh login requires a key, you are not safe.










  • I’m not sure if it’s related, but recently on my desktop I’ve been torrenting about a dozen of Linux ISOs* to my hard drive and the whole fucking system was freezing for multiple seconds and completely unusable.

    The OS is installed on an NVME. No CPU core was above 5-10% use. RAM usage was below 20%. SWAP was barely touched. No programs opened besides qbittorrent and VPN.

    Just opening the main menu or typing something in the search bar took 3-10 seconds depending on the lag spike… When I stopped the torrents, after a minute everything was buttery smooth again.

    It kinda reminded me of the issues I had when I mounted my NAS on boot. Dolphin would slow down to a crawl when opening home, even though it had nothing to do with the NAS …

    Something is seriously borked with KDE Plasma and slow secondary storage.



  • That entire world needs a cargo equivalent.

    The one time I needed to compile a rust app, I followed the instructions on their github and it used cargo and it didn’t work. Don’t remember the issue now, but it instantly gave me the same yuck I get when forced to use pip or npm and it breaks in the same fucking way.

    Had better luck compiling maven/gradle apps oh and yes, makefiles worked reliably for me so far.

    But this is just a personal anecdote and I rarely have to compile anything myself.
