New & novel font family MONASPACE
by Adam Thompson 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

For the font geeks... The "healing" aspect is, AFAIK, long-known to be possible, but I think this is the first time it's been seen in the wild - exciting, but also now I'm wondering about possible new attack vectors inside the TTF runtime... https://monaspace.githubnext.com/ Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

Raspberry Pi OS 12 bookworm and Wayland - no screen saver?
by Gilbert Detillieux 06 Nov '23

06 Nov '23

So, with all the hype around the new Raspberry Pi 5 (still waiting for availability), and the new OS version, I thought I'd give the OS a try on my Pi 400, and see how things look with the new Wayland-based GUI. One strange thing I noticed (other than the slight increase in CPU use and slightly higher CPU temperature) is that there's no screen saver/blanker enabled by default. Stranger still is there doesn't seem to be any way to enable it, at least not that I've been able to find. The old X11/Xorg-based screen savers definitely don't work with Wayland, and I don't want to turn off my monitor (and have to remember to do so) every time I'm done using the Pi. So, does anyone know how I can enable screen blanking in Wayland? (Preferably with Pi OS and/or Debian 12 bookworm, but any Wayland-related info would be appreciated.) If that doesn't work, I may find myself reverting back to Xorg.

Apologies for getting this out so late!... The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting IN PERSON, on Tuesday, November 7th, at 7:30pm. Yes, that's a week early, i.e. the FIRST Tuesday of the month... Minimum dpkg-buildpackage Gilbert Detillieux will present dpkg-buildpackage(1), which is used to build .deb packages from source. Gilbert will also give a tour of the source directory structure, and how to use quilt to manage patches. Somewhere between an RTFM and a deep-dive presentation, this talk will try to provide you with a minimum working set of tips and techniques to navigate the Debian package build environment. AGM Plus, this month's meeting was the MUUG annual general meeting, which included the election of the MUUG board of directors for the 2023-2024 year (by acclamation, again this year). Where to find the Meeting: Fortress Software Inc., 350 Keewatin St -- Unit #2 We have a new in-person meeting location now! Brad Vokey has graciously let us use his work office for our next in-person meeting. The meeting room will be open by 7:00 pm, with the actual meeting starting at 7:30 pm. If driving, enter the lot using the most north east entrance and drive around to the south west corner of the building (see route in map detail on poster linked below). You can use any of the free, ample, and safe parking spots that say "reserved" in front of units #1 through #4 before entering unit #2. Bus stops #30814 and #30880 (route 77) are only 150 meters away. The last bus leaves for Polo Park at 10:15 pm and for Garden City at 10:31 pm. Logan Ave. bus routes #19, #26, and #27 are a 600 meter (8 minute) walk to the south. For those unable or preferring not to attend in person, the meeting will also be available online, using BBB as usual. Stay tuned to our muug.ca home page for the official URL, which will be made available about a half hour before the meeting starts. (Reload the page if you don't see the link, or if there are issues with connecting.) *Date Change* Please note the change in meeting date for this month, and for the rest of the current year: We are now meeting on the first Tuesday of each month. The group now holds its meetings at 7:30pm on the *first* Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.)

CVE-2023-41064
by Trevor Cordes 06 Oct '23

06 Oct '23

Fun. https://www.tenable.com/blog/cve-2023-41064-cve-2023-4863-cve-2023-5129-faq… If you have an Apple device, it must be updated. If it's no longer supported/updated, throw it away. Anyone can send you a text or imessage (whatever that is) with a crafted webp image and p0wn your whole device: no clicks or user interaction required. Same bug in Chrome: update your Chrome. If you cannot on that device (i.e. Win7) then throw it away or find a new OS/browser. But at least you'd have to visit a malicious web page. Also affects linux webp libraries, so patch your stuff and restart any dynamically linked browsers/clients.
