♻️ Reboost please! Some people say #EU_OS should try to reach out to politicians who use BlueSky instead of Mastodon. EU OS has there so far about 130 follows and on Mastodon 1600. If you use both, please reach out to your BlueSky network: follow and share EU OS on BlueSky!

This is super-super niche, but I just made a little launcher for Visual Studio Code workspaces. Very helpful for quickly opening workspaces based on Windows and/or WSL.

#EU_OS looks out for potential early adopters in the public sector to inform the design of the proof of concept.

Many current Linux on the Desktop deployments are in the education sector: schools and universities.

Dear @primtux or any other education Linux project, would you be interested to join the first developer sprint in person in Paris or online?

Marks and Spencer cyber incident = ransomware.

It's DragonForce ransomware cartel, they have encrypted their VMware ESXi clusters. Lines up with network traffic I saw.

Dear America,

That tyre blowout protection is astonishing.

I wonder how their OTA security patching/update regime performs...

@gimulnautti

Everything has Chinese chips in anyway...

My only problem with BYD is... that name... Ugh. 😂 They do make pretty cars though. Impressive tech too.

"Credential stuffing as a service".

Imagine if these people used their powers for good? 😏

This one hits too close tbh

DrayTek routers in the UK (and to a lesser extent elsewhere) are having A Bad Weekend. Lots of "spontaneous" reboots.

Also, DrayTek's UK website is unreachable. So this looks like a concerted attack.

Details are patchy, but ISP Review is tracking the problem: https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2025/03/broadband-isps-report-uk-connectivity-problems-with-vulnerable-draytek-routers.html

Applying firmware upgrades and disabling VPN services will help. Search your networks for indicators of compromise.

As a parent of twins who both spent substantial time in Alder Hey, I just want to say:

What utter scumbags. 🤬

@neurovagrant

Like the old 419 baiting days (www.419eater.com) but automated. Oh yes. What better use of GPU/NPU cycles? 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Between barely sleeping last night, trying to comfort my terrified kids from 5800 miles away, doing a keynote, and peopling, I’m exhausted. But there are people even more terrified and exhausted, and I want you to know that I see you and will still fight for you.
