http://karmainsecurity.com/tales-of-sugarcrm-security-horrors If you're running SugarCRM, patch it asap. And move to something better, if possible
[18:32:33]
<theblazehen>
On that note, https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2017-10/ better upgrade firefox as well
[18:33:12]
<theblazehen>
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/bfq-iosched/D-7wDP47iBI some good news - VFQ IO scheduler is now in mainline linux, which works really well for responsiveness on desktop systems
[18:33:38]
<theblazehen>
https://ablagoev.github.io/linux/adventures/commands/2017/02/19/adventures-in-usr-bin.html has some interesting stuff
[18:34:06]
<theblazehen>
https://dev.to/buntine/the-balanced-ternary-machines-of-soviet-russia nice read on some computing stuff in russia, with ternary computers
[18:34:35]
<theblazehen>
And https://github.com/ChrisRx/dungeonfs takes "Everything is a file" to a new level
[18:35:37]
<theblazehen>
Also, 9front is a bit more modern version of plan 9, has some great ideas, but I'm not too impressed with the shell environment etc
[18:36:19]
* theblazehen
lost the link to other thing, 1 sec
[18:37:37]
* chesedo
is a bit disappointed in mozilla
[18:38:06]
<theblazehen>
This guy wrote his own display managing system, with X and wayland compatibility layers, and here's a "Plan 9 like interface" for it https://arcan-fe.com/2017/04/17/one-night-in-rio-vacation-photos-from-plan9/
[18:38:23]
<theblazehen>
And the normal DE used with it http://durden.arcan-fe.com/
[18:38:34]
<theblazehen>
Worth a read through
[18:39:16]
<theblazehen>
https://arcan-fe.com/2016/12/29/chasing-the-dream-of-a-terminal-free-cli/ is a nice read as well, I'd sometimes like my terminals to work a bit more graphically
[18:39:47]
<theblazehen>
They way that plan 9 (and the video on https://arcan-fe.com/2017/04/17/one-night-in-rio-vacation-photos-from-plan9/) is how I think it would be really nice to have
[18:39:57]
