We are going to see lots of open source projects deciding on how to deal with fascists within their community. After decades of conditioning people to view tech as a neutral, politics-free zone, very often they will make the wrong decision. You cannot have an open and welcoming community if you allow fascists or discuss that they might actually be “merely” racists or find other excuses not to take a decisive action. See paradox of tolerance.

If projects are being forked over this matter, I guess all we can do is embracing the fork.

Me now that cybersecurity is fixed

Great news everybody, cyber folks can retire to McDonalds now because a guy who has one job as a data inputter has discovered a GitHub list of AI slop tools. Cyber is solved!

There are rumours swirling for the past week behind the scenes that there are two actively exploited zero days in Citrix Netscaler. The rumours have now broken containment to Reddit.

FWIW I’ve been trying to get Citrix to talk about it, they won’t.

🚨 Companies are being urged to shut down their NetScaler instances immediately due to multiple unpatched Citrix NetScaler RCE vulnerabilities.

Even if you don’t know how to code, there are lots of great ways that you can contribute to open source! Here are a few ideas:

1. Write or translate documentation.

2. Help moderate community spaces.

3. Contribute art and design work.

4. Tell anyone who will listen that Omarchy’s war chest is intended to fund efforts to centralize power in the FOSS space and to reputation-wash extreme rightwing positions.

5. Become a tester.
