Part of Qt is being translated to GPL

Posted on

Tuukka Turunen, the director of Qt development, announced a change in the licensing of certain Qt modules from LGPLv3/Commercial to GPLv3/Commercial.

This means that a commercial license will need to be purchased to bypass the GPL restrictions. Since January 2016, most additional […]

Voting on changing the logo and name of 'openSUSE'

Posted on

On June 3, Stasiek Michalski started a discussion in the openSUSE mailing list about the possibility of changing the logo and name of the project. Among the reasons he mentioned were: Logo: Similarity to the old version of the SUSE logo, which could be misleading.

It is worth noting that the island nation of Madagascar, unlike the aforementioned northern countries, is geographically located at the far end of a rather underprivileged continent — Africa. In […]

Ken Thompson's Unix password

Posted on

Somewhere around 2014, I found a file /etc/passwd with the passwords of all the veterans, such as Dennis Ritchie, Ken Thompson, Brian W. Kernighan, Steve Bourne, and Bill Joy, in the dumps of the BSD 3 source tree. The crypt(3) algorithm based on DES was used for these hashes — known for its weakness (and with a maximum password length of 8 characters). So I thought that […]

Posted on

After six months of development, the release of OpenSSH 8.1 has been presented, which is an open implementation of a client and server for working with SSH 2.0 and SFTP protocols. The new release particularly addresses a vulnerability affecting ssh, sshd, ssh-add, and ssh-keygen.
