Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose
TunnelVision, as the researchers have named their attack, largely negates the entire purpose and selling point of VPNs, which is to encapsulate incoming and outgoing Internet traffic in an encrypted tunnel and to cloak the user’s IP address. The researchers believe it affects all VPN applications when they’re connected to a hostile network and that there are no ways to prevent such attacks except when the user's VPN runs on Linux or Android. They also said their attack technique may have been possible since 2002 and may already have been discovered and used in the wild since then.

With a Nintendo Switch 2 on the way, I hope Valve make a Steam Deck 2
I love my Steam Deck, as any regular reader will know. It's my favourite gaming device but it could always be better right? And with competition hot (hi Nintendo), I hope Valve have more plans.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Thing is: bringing the performance up can quickly be evened out by also bringing the resolution up.
I am not sure what resolution is necessary for a really good experience on such a small device, but I am sure there's a golden balance to find somewhere in there.

A big overhaul of Nextcloud Hub tailored to the needs of the public sector 🏛️
"With Nextcloud Tables, we're definitely getting to a point where we can replace traditional specialised procedures ... by storing the data structures in Nextcloud."
itwire.com/business-it-news/cl…
iTWire - Nextcloud Hub 8 features introduced to public at enterprise day
Open-source file syncing and sharing software company Nextcloud has presented its new release, Nextcloud Hub 8, to about 200 people at the Nextcloud Enterprise day in Munich on Wednesday.Sam Varghese (iTWire)
How can we know "Tables" won't simply become abandonware with the next upgrade to Nextcloud, as you've done with other popular apps like "News" and "Social?" Can you please write an article about your testing procedures to ensure the app interfaces remain stable from one version to the next, so that apps (and our data in them!) don't keep suddenly disappearing with an upgrade?
We don't trust our workflows to Nextcloud yet, because of these mistakes you've made in the past.

I'm serious when I say that I am among David O'Doherty's first fans. Many years ago he came out to Australia to perform in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. He was evidently struggling to bring in audiences and get laughs. A friend of mine working at the festival gave me a couple of complimentary tickets. At that point I didn't realise that she was using me, because I'm a big laugher and good for warming up an audience. I didn't know I had a super-power! (an incredibly minor one, but it gets me free tickets!) Anyway, this bit is for all us techies!

"Under the Calculative Gaze" by Sanela Jahić explores the socio-political implications of AI, not only directly interwoven with unresolved injustices of the prevailing socio-economic system, but actually enables a transition to authoritarianism, which can be observed in the technology industry itself, in the politics of different countries and institutions and in the rise of right-wing extremist political movements.
