    I’m trying to indicate that docker has its own kinds of problems that don’t really occur for software that isn’t containerized.

    I used the immich issue because it was actually NOT indicated as a breaking change by the devs, and the few of us who had migrated the same compose yml from older veraions and had a problem were met with “oh, that is a very old config, you should be using the modern one”.

    Docker is great, but it comes with some specific understanding that isn’t necessarily obvious.

    For one, if the compose file syntax or structure and options changes (like it did recently for immich), you have to dig through github issues to find that out and re-create the compose with little guidance.

    Not docker’s fault specifically, but it’s becoming an issue with more and more software issued as a docker image. Docker democratizes software, but we pay the price in losing perspective on what is good dev practice.



  • There’s a give-and-take here, where disclosing the vulnerability should be done soon enough to be responsible to affected users, but not so late that it’s seen as pandering to the vendor.

    We’ve already seen how much vendors drag their feet when they are given time to fix a vuln before the disclosure, and almost all the major vendors have tried to pull this move where they keep delaying fix unless it becomes public.

    Synology hasn’t been very reactive to fixing CVEs unless they’re very public. One nasty vulnerability in the old DSM 6 was found at a hackathon by a researcher (I’ll edit and post the number later), but the fix wasn’t included in the main update stream, you had to go get the patch manually and apply it.

    Vendors must have their feet held to the fire on vulns, or they don’t bother doing anything.











  • I have a surface pro 6, bought used for cheap. With the surface Linux kernel, almost everything works.

    I built support for the front and rear cameras using the surface Linux instructions and they work, however it’s not a working solution, since ms Teams pwa or discord can’t use libcamera devices.

    One thing you should be aware of, though, is that the tablet experience is only really workable in Wayland, so you’ll have to forgo non-wayland apps and desktop environments. Gnome is… not great.

    Also, there are several gotchas with wayland. I use flameshot for screenshots, which is broken on Wayland with scaling. Scaling also breaks default firefox on Wayland.

    Sorry, didn’t mean to turn this into a Wayland comment.

    The hard work the folks at surface Linux have done is amazing, and I’m happy to daily drive my surface.
