Is it finally time to switch to Linux?

I’m not there yet, but after seeing a lot more interest in Linux over the past couple years while the hate for Microsoft has grown, this summer I want to give it a real shot. Maybe even with the new Framework laptop?

I explain why in this month’s recap!

Fresh gist: mitigating CVE-2026-31431 ("Copy Fail") on RHEL 8/9/10 with a tiny Ansible playbook.

It blacklists algif_aead via a kernel boot arg (initcall_blacklist=algif_aead_init), reboots only when needed, and asserts the mitigation actually stuck after reboot. Idempotent & safe to re-run.

“The realistic threat chain looks like this. An attacker exploits a known WordPress plugin vulnerability and gets shell access as www-data. They run the copy.fail PoC. They are now root on the host. Every other tenant is suddenly reachable, in the way I walked through in this hack post-mortem. The vulnerability does not get the attacker onto the box; it changes what happens in the next ten seconds after they land there.”

I wonder if @Tutanota plan to update their #appimage to a more recent runtime. Because with the recently released #Fedora44 their apps does not work anymore.
