https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-1086

There's a super long list there, but most everything has been updated or superceded.

The standard (updated) kernels are:

  * Focal: 5.4.0-174.193
  * Jammy: 5.15.0-101.111
  * Mantic: 6.5.0-26.26

And if you haven't updated, apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade.

Can you help me with reading that page? What's the difference between the `linux-kvm` vs `linux-hwe-6.5`? They both list different release fixes for Jammy, 5.15.0-101.111 and 6.5.0-26.26 respectively.

Edit: Oh it looks like the generic kernel is the one named just "linux" and also has 5.15.0... as the patched version on Jammy

> If my daughter sells lemonade on the street corner and asks that you tip her with the credit card fees that she got charged to take your mode of payment she is at fault?

Depends on the location. In the EU, it would be illegal to charge someone more for using a credit or debit card:

> You're not allowed to charge your customers extra for using a credit or debit card. This applies to all card purchases (in shops and online) made throughout the EU.

https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/finance-funding/making...

Guessing there are no such laws in the US? Or maybe nowhere else? Not sure.

I believe only Mass and one other state have laws preventing extra charges for credit cards, and they are only targeted at larger companies. At least in MA, if you are a smaller company using a 3rd party payment processor/POS (like Toast), you are allowed to push the credit card fee they charge you onto the consumer.

As much as I appreciate what they offer at no cost, I have experienced more downtime from their service then I would like. My Uptime Kuma dashboard reports a 99.98% 30-day uptime from their service (mainly small 1-2min down-times every couple of weeks), but I have experienced at least one 7ish hour period a few months back where no duckDNS queries were resolving for any domains I checked. And I never found any official source giving a reason or even acknowledging this this outage. Again, free service, I do appreciate what they offer.

RVRX commented on Firefox has surpassed Chrome on Speedometer   treeherder.mozilla.org/pe... · Posted by u/akyuu

Firefox is a great browser and Mozilla is a (generally) great organization. It's my daily driver on all my devices (except my TV ha), it's fast and has great plugins that also work in mobile. Philosophically I'm very much a "root for the underdog" type of person so it makes me happy that way, too. Only very rarely (every few months) am I forced to use Chrome for a site - and in my view, that's a huge ding on the site devs, not on Firefox.

It's strange hearing reports of "scroll lag" in the other comments. It's possible I'm just lucky. Or there's a misconfiguration somewhere in their setup that Chrome somehow avoids.

It's true that I still mostly use Chrome for webdev - I've become more used to it's (excellent) dev tools, even though Firefox and Firebug started that whole trend. It feels very right to separate my "user browser" from my "dev browser" in this way!

I find this very common with Credit Card and Banking Sites. Very often they either refuse to log me in or log me out sooner than they should on Firefox, or certain pages within the site will just not load. I'm guessing they prioritize security, and only test this stuff in Chrome ;(
