200+ #npm and #pypi packages caught dropping #Linux cryptominers.
> These packages are largely typosquats of widely used libraries and each one of them downloads a Bash script on Linux systems that run cryptominers.
> It appears that both registries cleared the typosquats fairly quickly from their platforms before these could do more harm to developers.
This appears to be a characteristic behavior of #monero / #xmr #cryptocurrency users. This is by no means the first wave of mining attacks against servers.

> Researchers have unearthed a discovery that doesn’t occur all that often in the realm of malware: a mature, never-before-seen Linux backdoor that uses novel evasion techniques to conceal its presence on infected servers, in some cases even with a forensic investigation.
> On Thursday, researchers from Intezer and The BlackBerry Threat Research & Intelligence Team said that the previously undetected backdoor combines high levels of access with the ability to scrub any sign of infection from the file system, system processes, and network traffic. Dubbed Symbiote, it targets financial institutions in Brazil and was first detected in November.

Of course you know it is Tuxmachines, part of Roy's kingdom of article factories.
This is why I rarely ever log in there anymore. Very few actual people, zillions of linkbots churning out article links in popular hashtags.
(There was one guy that had at least three linkbots that each posted the same links within minutes of each other. I guess he could have done manual copy-pasting, but that would be boring, repetitive, and error-prone. I finally blocked him. I guess I need to do the same for Tuxmachines and similar linkbots.) -

His volume of posts on #Diaspora was so high that I finally had to unsubscribe from the #Linux hashtag. If I recall correctly, he posts a link, then one of his sites posts the link, then another site posts the link ... all camped out on the Linux hashtag. -

The chat system wouldn't pick up my microphone, even though the audio tuning phase heard and played back my audio. This is modern computing. #Windows cloning the #Linux #PulseAudio ("Why isn't this working?!?!") experience. -

That's cleaned up my timeline quite a bit, but it will probably be stagnant now. -

I had to take a time out from Lua because none of the (book and video) examples of "first class functions ... pass the function to that one" were working for me and I could not see why.
The odd thing is that the weird issues with scoping that I saw the past few days are gone today. Lua 5.1.5 on #Win10 1909 and Lua 5.2.4 on #Kubuntu 18.04, #Linux kernel 4.15 -
Douglas A. Whitfield (musicman)'s status on Wednesday, 12-Feb-2020 01:27:01 UTC Douglas A. Whitfield It's pretty demoralizing to never get any responses from anyone but @lnxw48a1, but I am nothing if not persistent.
I realize I could interact more and gain more followers and I could post more. Maybe I'll give Mastodon a shot a see if I get more interaction there. I don't think I've joined an instance but maybe I have.

Database administration; #postgresql/ #mysql/ #mariadb experience very desirable
Expertise in #Cassandra, #Kafka, and/or #cloudnative applications is a plus.
Minimum of five years of software development and design or systems administration or level 3-4 technical support experience.

Chris Talleras??? (christalleras)'s status on Thursday, 09-Jan-2020 20:40:31 UTC Chris Talleras??? I've been thinking that working on marketing for libre projects would be awesome!
Is there anyone on the fediverse I could talk to about getting a leg into that industry?
And I'm not talking about just drawings and illustrations but graphics, photoediting and videos, and finally ideas / marketing strategies.
I think I could be a great asset to projects out there.
Please share!

#FSF approved #Hyperbola #GNU + #Linux distro to hard-fork #OpenBSD kernel for its next version.
Just wow. They could have just become a Lennart-ware free Linux distro. It seems like a lot of work to start over with their own fork of #BSD. They'd better have a lot of developer resources, or they'll go the way of #Hurd. -
