Just to keep stuff correct. Copyfail and DirtyFrag CVEs are fixed in almost all Linux distribution kernels. As far as I can see there was no widespread damage. The nginx CVE needs a non-default config to be exploitable. So update your machines and relax. And dear tech journalists — please do a bit more work to put things in context instead of shouting FIRE from the rooftops whenever you see smoke. It could also be a hot pile of sh*t that causes that smoke ;) #SelfHost #SysAdminLife @homelab@fedigroups.social

Friday is dnf update and reboot day for the machines in my homelab and the servers I run on the internet. My machines all run Red Hat Enterprise Linux, so I know I am protected against any new threat that comes with a lot of media fanfare, because we at Red Hat stoically fix things and make the updates available. So as on every Friday, I can relax and enjoy the weekend :)

Age verification for the services I run? Solved. I look in my passport, verify that I am 18 years or older, look in the mirror to check that it is really me and after that I install Yet Another Service on my server to become less dependent on big tech :) #SelfHost #SysAdminLife #SarcasmButOnlyHalf
