I installed Fedora on a Raspberry Pi—see how it measures up to the official OS!
that’s an article I’ve been waiting for quite a while 🙌🏻

I am reliably informed by Google Shield that my site krebsonsecurity.com on Monday was the target of the biggest DDoS attack Google has ever had to deal with, clocking in at ~6.3 Tbps. This is not quite a record; apparently, an attack Cloudflare had to deal with in April is the largest known DDoS to date -- at ~6.5 Tbps.
It's been a while since we've seen a big DDoS. For reference, this one was about 10x the size of the Mirai botnet attack that launched a record DDoS against my site in 2016, knocking it offline for nearly 4 days until I got the site behind Google Sheild.
I'll know more in a bit. Below is the CF blog about their April attack.

The image shows a container of Klimon Cherry Bomb dairy-free ice cream. The container is placed on a white plate with an embossed floral design. The ice cream is pinkish in color, with a dusting of white powder on top, likely a cherry-flavored topping. The container is labeled "Klimon No Dairy. No Difference. Cherry Bomb Dairy Free," indicating it is a non-dairy product. A silver spoon is positioned to the left of the container. The background is slightly blurred, but it appears to be a kitchen setting with a countertop and some indistinct objects.

Ukraine und Russland: Gespräche beendet - keine Waffenruhe in Sicht
Das erste direkte Treffen seit mehr als drei Jahren: Vertreter der Ukraine und Russlands haben sich in Istanbul getroffen - wenn auch nur kurz. Russland zeigt sich zufrieden, die Ukraine spricht von "unannehmbaren" Forderungen. Von S. Diettrich.
Das Ergebnis bedeutet vor allem: Europa bereitet sich jetzt besser intensiv auf den Kriegsfall vor.
Die Frage sollte auch sein, ob man wirklich weiter zuwartet, bis der Russe einmarschiert und sich dann wie jetzt in der Ukraine aufstellt.
Oder ob man die aktuelle Bedrohung nicht schon früher begreift und den Spuk schnell beendet, bevor der Russe auch noch mit der Ukraine gewonnene Ressourcen gegen Europa führt.
Es wird Zeit, dass die ÖRR mal was gegen die ganzen Bots tut, sie sich regelmäßig in den Kommentarspalten von Youtube tummeln.

Das RU Bots beschäftigt werden, um die Meinung zu beeinflussen ist bekannt - und Google wird unter Trump erst Recht nix dagegen unternehmen.

About a year ago I was introduced to Sim Kern's video commentary on books, science fiction, culture, but most importantly... commentary on the current genocide being perpetuated by the Israeli military on Gaza.
Sometimes it is very hard to concentrate on anything else, stay informed, donating, talking about it is the least I can do, but it feels so small.
As of today, millions of children, men, women are starving due to the blockades.

Libya remains fractured since the 2011 uprising that toppled Muammar Gaddafi, with rival administrations and armed factions competing for power.
A protest against Libya's Government of National Unity took place in Tripoli on May 16. Senior officials, including the deputy prime minister and several ministers, resigned after the killing of a senior commander in the Stability Support Apparatus in a clash with a militia loyal to the prime minister.

Secret Service pays a visit to James Comey about the '8647' seashell threat
The U.S. Secret Service reportedly paid a visit to former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey over an image he posted on social media that many took as a threat against the president.
Secret Service agents escorted Comey to their Washington field office in Washington, D.C., on Friday for an interview, according to law enforcement sources who spoke to CNN. Comey was questioned about allegations that a message reading "8647" was a call for violence against President Donald Trump, the 47th president of the U.S.
'We are aware of the social media posts by the former FBI director, and we take rhetoric like this very seriously.'
Comey posted the image of a number of seashells arranged to spell "8647" on Thursday, but he later deleted the post and claimed that he did not intend to advocate for any political violence.
The former FBI director appeared voluntarily for the interview and was not in custody, according to the CNN report.
Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi released a statement about the incident.
“The Secret Service vigorously investigates anything that can be taken as a potential threat against our protectees,” said Guglielmi to CNN. “We are aware of the social media posts by the former FBI director, and we take rhetoric like this very seriously. Beyond that, we do not comment on protective intelligence matters.”
Department of Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem and current FBI Director Kash Patel issued statements saying that the Comey seashell threat would be investigated.
The president also lambasted Comey in a comment on Fox News.
"He knew exactly what that meant. A child knows what that meant. If you're the FBI director and you don't know what that meant? That meant assassination," said Trump to Bret Baier.
"And it says it loud and clear," Trump added. "Now, he wasn't very competent, but he was competent enough to know what that meant, and he did it for a reason. And he was hit so hard because people like me, and they like what's happening with our country. Our country's become respected again. And he's calling for the assassination of the president."
The term "86" has been in use for more than a century and could refer to the action of taking something off of a menu at a restaurant, but more recently it has also included killing something or someone.
