Hardening the Firefox Frontend with Content Security Policies (attackanddefense.dev)
 

Summary

We have rewritten over 600 JavaScript event handlers to mitigate XSS and other injection attacks in the main Firefox user interface. This mitigation will ship in Firefox 138. However, blocking the execution of scripts in the parent process is not the end - we will expand this technique to other contexts in the near future. There is still more work to do as the UI requires JavaScript APIs with a high level of privileges. However: We still eliminated a whole class of attacks, significantly raising the bar for attackers to exploit Firefox. In fact, we hopefully just broke someone’s exploit chain.

Did you compile the kernel by yourself, or used Mainline to install?

Yes, Gnome extensions shall be impacted once again for sure. But, at least that is not a deal breaker for me.

I guess it takes time to built a DE from scratch.

Introducing Pi-hole v6 in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

No native support for DoH in Pi-Hole yet. Additional setup is required to enable it on Pi-Hole[1].

If Pi-Hole starts supporting DoH out-of-the-box, I'll happily switch from AdguardHome.

NextDNS doesn't support unlimited DNS query for free, I think.

openSUSE Spin Achieves 100% Bit-Identical Packages For Reproducible Builds (www.phoronix.com)
 

Context:

Reproducible builds ensure software can be rebuilt in an identical, bit-for-bit manner anywhere at any time using the same tools. This means that someone rebuilding the software from the same source code will get exactly the same results.

Why is this important? Because it’s a crucial aspect for supply-chain security.

Alpine Linux In An Infrastructure Crisis With Equinix Metal Sunsetting in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Alpine has been used in Docker, and Docker is now run everywhere

This is exactly what came to my mind while reading through the article.

Your home server might have the required bandwidth but not requisite the infra to support server load (hundreds of parallel connections/downloads).

Bandwidth is only one aspect of the problem.

That solves the media distribution related storage issue, but not the CI/CD pipeline infra issue.
