A significant vulnerability in the Linux kernel’s Virtual Socket (vsock) implementation, designated as CVE-2025-21756, has been identified that could allow local attackers to escalate privileges to root level.  Security researchers have confirmed that this flaw, which received a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 7.8 (HIGH), can be reliably exploited on affected systems. Critical Linux Kernel […] The post Critical Linux Kernel Vulnerability Exposes Systems to Privilege Escalation Attacks appeared first on Cyber Security News.

¿Quién ha dicho que las energías renovables no puedan aportar inercia a la red?

Wegen Anschlagsplänen auf die Synagoge in Halle ist ein 19-Jähriger in Haft. Der Mann soll sein rechtsextremistisch motiviertes Vorhaben wiederholt in einer Telegram-Chatgruppe angekündigt und sich im Februar eine Langwaffe zur Umsetzung seines Plans beschafft haben, wie die Staatsanwaltschaft mitteilte. Ein konkreter Zeitpunkt für die Durchführung der Tat habe noch nicht festgestanden.

Auf Antrag der Staatsanwaltschaft hat das Amtsgericht Halle einen Haftbefehl gegen den 19-Jährigen wegen Vorbereitung einer schweren staatsgefährdenden Gewalttat in Tateinheit mit unerlaubtem Besitz einer Schusswaffe erlassen. Laut der Staatsanwaltschaft bestreitet der Mann, die Anschlagspläne ernsthaft verfolgt zu haben.

Are you a developer or experimenter pondering options for text entry in virtual or mixed reality? If that’s the case (or you’re merely curious) then here’s the resource you need: TEXT, or the Text Entry for XR Trove. It’s a collection of all the things people have tried when it comes to creating text entry interfaces for virtual and mixed reality (VR/MR) systems, all in a searchable list, complete with animated demonstrations.

There are a lot of different ways to approach this problem, ranging from simple to strange.

VR and MR are new frontiers, and optimal interfaces are still very much a work in progress. If one wishes to avoid reinventing the wheel, it’s a good idea to research prior art. This resource makes it very easy to browse all the stuff people have tried when it comes to text entry.

It’s also fun just to browse and see what kinds of unusual solutions people have come up with that go pretty far beyond “floating over-sized virtual keyboard”. Lenstouch for example involves tapping directly on the touch-sensitive front of the headset, and PalmType reminds us somewhat of the Palm Pilot’s Graffiti system.

It’s a treasure trove of creativity with a nice, searchable interface. Have you come up with your own, or know of a method that isn’t there? Submit it to the collection so others can find it. And if you’re in the process of cooking something up yourself, we have some DIY handwriting recognition resources you might find useful.

As a secondary button, tapping on it does nothing. And other methods, including viewing a post's picture and just viewing a post. This is on v264. I think I first noticed this a few versions back.

I'll post this minor one as well. If you have 4 secondary buttons set, sometimes a sticky post will have its overflow menu button clipped on the right and goes off-screen. Screenshot showing two sticky posts with its overflow menu buttons not appearing on screen.
