Mastodon Upgraded to 4.3.0
It took a few attempts as the system CC's services on sometimes is heavily busy with other tasks, but I did manage to upgrade our Mastodon server to the newest release. If you notice any issues, please let me know.

Strix G15 (G532) Sound under Ubuntu Noble Numbat 24.04
You should no longer need the audio workaround from previous fixes. On Noble, change the line in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf to With the above single line, my G15 now has sound that operates properly, volume control works without the workarounds. I have not tested the headphone jack yet but it likely will be functional now.
A Word about CC’s Defederation Policy
This is being posted on the site information page so I can refer people to it in lieu of a FAQ. CyborgCentral's Mastodon server will not federate with any fediverse server that operates solely for the purpose of promoting political party propaganda. There is no difference between right wing or left wing sources in this […]

LTT is the Fox News of Tech Journalism
I've had Linus Sebastian and his entire media group blocked for well over a year, now, following his completely bullshit and braindead "hey, let's exploit this known PopOS Steam installation bug for views!" but if you gave him a pass for it, you might want to reconsider. Not only does GN go through several examples […]
NVD makes up vulnerability severity levels | daniel.haxx.se
CVSS is a shitty system Anyone who ever gets a problem reported for their project and tries to assess and set a CVSS score will immediately realize what an imperfect, simplified and one-dimensional concept this is.

GoDaddy: Hackers stole source code, installed malware in multi-year breach
Glad I GTFO'd the karate school's site before this happened. GoDaddy is actively trash, not simply due to their tendency to aggressively "update" their user's sites into non-functionality, but also their lack of security care, and their defense of neo-nazi Mastodon instances (in conjunction with CloudFlare, who nearly always refuses to take action, unless there […]
