Come dire: ah, bello, ottimo!
Un difetto introdotto nell’architettura x86 nel 1997 e passato inosservato fino a oggi permette di realizzare attacchi al livello del firmware, particolarmente insidiosi. Lo ha svelato un ricercatore del Battelle Memorial Institute, con un test realizzato su chip Intel.

Ecco una notizia che vista da un punto di vista freddamente analitico appare come una notizia ottima:

Leggo su Marco’s Box che Marble Maps – applicazione KDE per le mappe – sbarca su Android e porta la navigazione con le mappe di OpenStreetMap.
Bellissimo, gli auguro ogni bene ed imperituro successo ma…. su Android come software libero per la navigazione basato su OpenStreetMap c’è – da anni! – OsmAnd – Offline Mobile Maps and Navigation.
E la uso con soddisfazione – molta soddisfazione – da un paio d’anni. Sorgenti compresi.

Chrome – one of the most widespread browser – is proprietary software with Chromium being is “open source” base.
According to Debian #Debian Bug report logs for “786909 – chromium: unconditionally downloads binary blob” Chromium even when built from source code still try to inject binary blobs – proprietary software – on your system without notifying the owner of the system where it runs. So we cannot really trust it anymore, we shouldn’t consider Chromium as “software libero” (or libre or Free-as-in-freedom-software)
That’s not a good.

Creating vector icons with Inkscape is fun and easy.
Once you got proficient with Inkscape, of course. I forgot how much time is required to become actually productive with a new graphical tool.
I do understand that today designs tend to put less emphasis on conservative memory usage but that’s pretty outrageous. A simple search into node’s package manager ate one gigabyte and half of main memory having to deal with a simple question like
npm find foobar
more speficically GNU time told me that it took 48 seconds and 1799Mb of resident memory to scan thorugh a local list of the 169.312 total packages available from npmjs.com.
Apt, the almighty Debian package manager consumed a mere 99 MegaBytes to search into package names and descriptions throught more than an hundred thousands packages (107819) which are usually far beefier that javascript modules.
That’s more than eighteen times.
Javascript, your librarian is obese.
