Shop fridges and freezers across Europe hit by fresh suspected cyber-attack… incompetence is rampant. I was talking about this yesterday with my wife, and she, being the practical woman she is, said, “The first thing to do would be to disconnect the freezers from the Internet.” Wise woman. “Unplug that damn network cable from the…

Incompetenza montante
Supermercati sotto attacco hacker anche in Italia, riunione a Palazzo Chigi con l’Intelligence… e due, l’incompetenza dilaga. Ne parlavo ieri con mia moglie e lei da donna pratica qual’è mi fa “la prima cosa sarebbe scollegare i congelatori da Internet”. Saggia donna. “Stacca quel maledetto cavo di rete del congelatore!” E invece pare che i…

Favnyr, Rust and the NIH syndrome
Today, in my Fediverse flow of posts I found the Italian article «Favnyr il moderno file manager per Linux e Windows», i.e. «Favnyr the modern file manager for Linux and Windows» about a new multi-panel file manager. I was going to start my usual old-man rant (yelling at clouds) as there are already at least…

Ok, I do feel old (2)
For the second time today I do feel old. I issued on my Debian machine. The list of changes notified me that gsettings-desktop-schemas (50.1-1) experimental; urgency=medium Since GNOME 50, X11-style middle-click paste (pasting the primary selection, usually activated by a middle mouse button click) is disabled by default, because it was often done accidentally by…
