Copy Fail is a very serious root escalation vuln released on Wednesday that requires your attention. More details and the fix at https://
copy.fail/ and be sure to reboot after you've patched.

sudo su -
alias facts='timedatectl set-ntp'
facts false
timedatectl set-time "1984-01-15"
Set your system date to January 15, 1984, and not for the Mac commercial. Just run 'facts true' to return to reality.

Wondering where the content is? I've been on Mastodon for years (@climagic) and now Bluesky (climagic.bsky.social) as well. I tend to post more to those networks lately and will reduce the amount here (whatever you want to call this place anymore).

If you like @climagic then I just found an underrated youtube channel that you might be interrested in.
I've watched a couple of his videos and they're all about the beauty of command line and bash scripting.
Check out this video on FZF for example : piped.video/watch?v=hwMGTqoQ…

Here's your regular reminder that you can toggle options within less(1) without having to re-start it. Type minus followed by the option-letter. So
-i for case-(in)sensitivity
-R for ANSI handling
-S for wrapping long lines
-N for line-numbers
-g for search-match highlighting

I have a rule for climagic of "No politics", but I'm violating that rule because quite frankly this is more important than the command line. This is about protecting my family and yours and I'm just trying to do something instead of ignoring it. You can too. Be strong.
