[$] Glibc project revisits infrastructure security
The GNU C Library
(glibc) is the core C library for most Linux distributions, so it is a
crucial part of the open-source ecosystem—and an attractive
target for any attackers looking to carry out supply-chain
attacks. With that being the case, securing the project’s
infrastructure using industry best practices and improving the
security of its development practices are a frequent topic among glibc
developers. A recent discussion suggests that improveme … ⌘ Read more

Maybe you’ll enjoy this as well:
I still have one of my first modems, a Creatix LC 144 VF:
I think this was the modem that I used when I first connected to the internet, but I’m not sure.
I plugged it in again and it still works:
The firmware appears to be from 1994, which sounds about right. I don’t think we had internet access before that. We certainly did use local mailboxes, though. (Or BBS’s, as you might call them.)
I now want to actually use that modem again. For the moment, I can only use a phone to dial into it, I lack a second modem to actually establish a connection. Here’s a video:
Not spectacular, but the modem does answer after me entering ATA.
I bought another cheap old modem on eBay and am now waiting for it to arrive. Once it’s here, I want to simulate an actual dial-up session, hopefully from OS/2 or Windows 3.x.
