  • Freshness is key. A lot of the taste / smell qualities that put off people who aren’t big on fish increase rapidly with time. So make sure you buy your fish from a source you really trust to have fresh fish, keep it cold (put it on ice, even, on the way home from the store), and use it right away. Like, that very day if at all possible, or at least the next day.

    Soaking it in water with some lemon juice can also reduce some of those flavors.



  • I always do a df -h before updating. And this recent update was brutally large. I was unable to free enough space by deleting snapshots as I’ve taken to doing lately. What I’ve now started doing is finding directories using a lot of space and moving them from my root partition to another partition I have with more space and then linking that directory back to a directory with the original path. The most recent culprit I found and moved is /var/lib/flatpack. The program filelight is a great tool for finding culprits.

    Because enshittification…

    Let me try to help you in a more psychological way: try focusing on how much more important those issues of privacy, respecting user self determination, etc are than all those little trade offs (which sound to me as much like a cranky resistance to change as anything else). You are going to have to accept changes you don’t like along with changes that you might eventually see as improvements if you give it a chance. But even if not, the enshittification element should outweigh all that.

    I gave up Windows for Plasma 4.something, over a decade ago to avoid the enshittification of Windows 10, and even then I felt like it was a user interface improvement and it was painful going back every time I booted my window partition. I can’t even imagine how someone can put up with the shit Windows 11 imposes on you. But, hey everyone weighs things differently.

    Personally, when software I paid nothing for, made by volunteers, has a flaw or doesn’t meet my preferences, it pisses me off a whole lot less than when software that I’ve paid for, made by a corporation with more money then God, blue screens or forces something on me that I didn’t ask for.


  • Do you mean the specific exploit performed by the author has been fixed? Or the general vulnerability that this exploit was intended to demonstrate has been fixed? The article ends with a What’s Next section discussing the difficulty of the latter, saying

    we don’t think there’s a silver bullet to address the risks caused by the compromise of such central pieces of infrastructure

    and going into detail about the challenges for openSUSE OBS. Are you claiming those challenges have all been solved and exploits like this are no longer possible?
