Today is a wild one for open-source/Linux userswww.phoronix.com
But to be fair ...
Is it the implementation language being the main issue? Or is it the flexibility of extending it with plugins and that it is effectively a setuid tool, granting root access immediately when an unprivileged user starts the program (the privileges are reduced first when it has parsed the sudo config).
Sudo is a nice tool from the user's side. But security wise it's a disastrous approach. Privileges should first be elevated *after* the config has been parsed and the expected privilege level has been established. Then the tool should ideally jump to that privilege level directly.
This post introduces some new ideas ... https://tim.siosm.fr/blog/2023/12/19/ssh-over-unix-socket/
It's not a perfect approach in all cases. But it gets rid of the setuid issue.
sudo without a setuid binary or SSH over a UNIX socket
In this post, I will detail how to replace sudo (a setuid binary) by using SSH over a local UNIX socket. I am of the opinion that setuid/setgid binaries are a UNIX legacy that should be deprecated.Siosm's blog

Support-Ende von Windows 10 soll für gigantischen Müllberg sorgen
Am 14. Oktober 2025 wird der Support von Windows 10 eingestellt. Das könnte dazu führen, dass rund 240 Millionen PCs als Elektroschrott auf einer Mülldeponie landen, wie Analyseunternehmen Canalys befürchtet. Wären alles diese Geräte aufeinandergestapelte Laptops, wäre der Stapel in etwa 4.080 Kilometer hoch. Das sind rund 600 Kilometer mehr als der Durchmesser des Mondes.

@Adam Hunt try that on a small pod, you're on diasp.org, which probably have pulling content from everywhere.
My pod possibly will not pull all content from diasp.org tagged whatever, but I do not remember the protocol at all now. It is a fact that on my pod (where I am now possibly the sole user) #linux pulls about 10 posts a month.
@Adam Hunt I think I should re-read the D* protocol and how it's suposed to work; right now I believe that your suggestion doesn't work the way you believe it does, which aligns with my preceived working of the protocol. Namely, following a hashtag does not pull (federate) posts from all the pod networks, only sift through the local pod.
My example is #linux, which I am following, and the last non-german post apart from you and @dianea (and a few bots) was 2 months ago (from @danie10). If one post in 2 months is full, then it is.
I also follow #disapora and indeed, it has a lot of posts, but reading about the network itself feels like having a great time with myself.
I do not intend to follow any image-based stream, cats or else. If I wanted I'd be on Instagram (I am not even registered I think). I am more of a content person instead of an image (meme) one.

Also in der #friendica 2023-09RC scheint sich hier noch ein Bug eingeschlichen zu haben.

Re-reading your question it looks to me that I didn't answer (get) your question @Simon John.
If you refer to user name, and hosting data I guess the answer is yes, it looks like plain text from the front end.
The password apparently at least can be protected by a general password manager.
Has there been general questioning of #FileZilla's safety?
Is there some recommendation for linux desktops?

@davidrevoy yes, it's a bit unfortunate, hopefully in the future the instance might be able to use the new features of #peertube which allow off-loading some of the encoding to other machines.
I really hope that the #blender community will begin to embrace these alternatives, as we do with #Linux, the #Fediverse for example. Currently, it is not perfect, but unless we support them, they will never be mature.
Come to think of it, Blender is the post child for this mindset😀

Danke an @TheMorpheus für die Info!
Aus gegebenem Anlass möchte ich daher hier dazusagen, dass #BaldursGate3 auf #Linux unter #Wine funktioniert. Auch ohne Steam (bei GOG gekauft). Bei mir nicht in höchster Qualität (mit der eher schwachen onboard-Grafikkarte nicht anders zu erwarten …), aber gut genug, dass es Spaß macht.

Both English and German language is okay.
Additionally, German podcasts about other topics are okay as well.
