🚨 KLAXON NOISES 🚨

"unauthenticated remote code execution as root in OpenSSH" is a term that means I don't fuckin' need my morning coffee any more.

Qualys report: https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/07/01/3
Release notes: https://www.openssh.com/releasenotes.html#9.8p1
And a tip o' the hat to @hanno for the initial post about it: https://mastodon.social/@hanno/112710324891813998

It looks like this advisory was coordinated with distributors and patches already released a few days ago, but just in case: Go forth and patch your shit!

By the way, here are two JPEGs of that photo of moss, made with Provia and Classic Chrome presets for comparison. Provia is more saturated, Chrome is less saturated and more brown, my RAW result is greener. 🤷‍♂️

If I were shooting professionally and needed to churn out hundreds of good looking shots for a wedding or some time-sensitive journalism, the decision would of course be reversed. But as it stands, I can afford spending time on my processing hobby, and I'm happy :-)

Here's my musings on RAW vs. JPEG.

I shoot RAW, ignoring my #Fujifilm camera's prowess in producing excellent JPEGs, which many people rave about. I tried comparing the results, and almost always come to a conclusion that neither is better, just different. But the reason I stick with RAWs is that post-processing is the moment when I really start thinking how I want the shot to look. And if I'm going to post-process anyway, why not work from the source?

At the portrait gallery today, I read about the "anti vaccination movement" that rallied against the smallpox vaccine https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-50713991 and the Warming Pan Plot (the unsubstantiated yet widely believed rumour that James II's son was substituted at birth) https://royalcentral.co.uk/features/history-blogs/royal-history-mystery-the-warming-pan-scandal-140948/. It made me think about how some of the challenges we face with misinformation these days are not so new and not necessarily "caused" by the Internet.

I got ahold of what I think is the latest Microsoft Recall (Copilot+ Recall? Nobody knows the branding) build and.. well.. Total Recall still works with the smallest of tweaks to export the database, it's still accessible as a plaintext database with marketing as the security layer.

Another observation, the Recall backlog must be very large as it's just becoming a truck load of features being dumped on.

The #RadianceCascades algorithm is brilliant: observes that ambient occlusion and environment cubemaps are the same thing, but with different spatial vs angular resolutions, and it's possible to smoothly vary the resolutions, and interpolate between them.

Okay, Fujifilm photographers! I've been recently working up courage to switch my life-long habit of shooting in AF-S focus mode to AF-C. Because I just can't see any downsides to it. The only obvious difference is AF-C will refocus if I move the camera while the shutter button is half-pressed, which I almost never do and even if I need to, there's always object tracking. In other words, to me AF-C is just better AF-S.

Am I missing any downside that's not preferential?

I'm trying to implement #RadianceCascades for flatland global illumination.

2^i rays per cascade looks awful when starting with 4 rays (I need to fix interpolation too).
All the demos seem to use 2^(2*i) rays, but that blows up memory usage.
