Diffie and Hellman are names for special spoons.

You scramble eggs with your Diffie. The correct Hellman can unscramble the mess to get the eggs again. But there‘s more.

When you send me some prime eggs and a new Diffie, I‘ll also make a new Diffie and send that back to you. Now we can both use our new Hellman and the others Diffie to make a total mess of the eggs…but it will be the exact same mess for both of us. Which nobody else has.

Follow me for more limping analogies.😌

UEFI Secure Boot Signing with Debusine

How do you handle Secure Boot signing for Debian-based systems?

We've just published a detailed write-up on how Freexian uses Debusine to manage UEFI Secure Boot signing for Debian 10 ELTS.
If any part of your work touches Secure Boot, package signing, or reproducible infrastructure for Debian distributions, it’s a relevant read.

It covers:
* How signing workers are set up
* Secure Management of private keys
* Workflows to automate the tasks involved
* Future plans for extending the signing system and for better key protection

Read the post: https://www.freexian.com/blog/debusine-secure-boot-signing/

If you're working on a Debian derivative and facing similar challenges, we’d love to hear from you: sales@freexian.com

I still think the messaging of this is alarmist and quite frankly, lame. Recall how we also have had multiple bad implementation details in HTTP/2, some that aren't even really possible to fix there so some people recommend h3 instead. Which then has its own share of challenges.

They're all far from simple. They are all complicated.

By January 2025, every single university in Gaza — as well as most of its libraries and archives — had been destroyed by Israeli aerial bombing, ground-based assaults, and a massive Israeli military campaign of bulldozing and blowing up infrastructure that had merely been damaged in previous attacks.

Those original documents, those climate-controlled storage units, those finding aids and reading rooms are gone.

Campaign group Defend Our Juries has reported that its website has been taken down, days before a major demonstration in London – in a move that raises serious questions about the UK Labour government’s attitude to protest and dissent.

This is what complicity in genocide looks like.

The only valid reason for working at Microsoft right now is if you’re actively engaged in sabotage.

Same goes for Google, and any other corporation working with Israel to help commit genocide in Palestine.

History is watching (and taking notes).

@grumble209 @fabio @palestine @moderation @Gargron @staff Here’s the thing: antisemitism is a very real thing and, sadly, there are people who hate Jewish people for no other reason than the fact that they’re Jewish.

What’s terrible about Israel and Zionists weaponising antisemitism – by equating it with being anti-genocide and anti-Zionism to stifle criticism of the genocide they are committing in Palestine – is that it dilutes the semantics of the word, understandably leading to the sort of sentiment you just expressed and making Jews everywhere less safe.

Israel’s willful conflation of Jewishness with Zionism and support of its policies and the ongoing genocide is also one of the most most antisemitic things I can think of. Imagine equating a people (Jews) with being pro-genocide. They go so far as to label Jewish people who oppose their genocide (including “Holocaust” survivors and relatives of the same – who they disdain for “having been weak”) as “the wrong kind of Jew” or even “antisemitic”.

Zionists are some of the most antisemitic people I know.
