ULS 259: Capture the Orphans - Audacity, Poisoned AUR, & It's Too Powerful!
About this episode
This episode covers significant Linux news including AUR package compromises, Linux kernel updates, and useful terminal tools.
This week the headlines are big! First up, more than 400 packages on the AUR have been compromised. Then, the Linux kernel patches a critical ARM CVE from last year. Plus, Linux 7.1 is about to release with FRED and HDMI 2.1. And the US Government has shut down Anthropic Fable and Mythos. The tips are a bit more mellow, with xxd for terminal hex dumps, schroot for secure chroots, and the keyboard shortcuts provided by readline.
