A vulnerability has been discovered in the Nix and Lix package managers that allows code execution with the privileges of a background process, which runs under the root user on NixOS and multi-user installations. The issue (CVE not assigned) affects the nix-daemon background process, which is used to provide unprivileged users with access to build operations and the package repository. The vulnerability arises due to a lack of restriction on recursive directory processing in […]

Astronomers have refined the parameters of the Vela Supercluster of galaxies. The object, 300 million light-years in diameter—almost 3,000 times larger than the Milky Way—contains approximately 33,800 trillion solar masses and is comparable to the Laniakea and Shapley superclusters, and its gravitational influence exceeds even that of the Great Attractor. The supercluster is located approximately 870 million light-years from Earth, […]
A build of the open-source roguelike game Remixed Pixel Dungeon has been published on the Snapcraft app store. The project is a large-scale fork of the classic Pixel Dungeon. Unlike the original, the Remixed version features a surface city, new classes, and a significantly expanded arsenal of items, monsters, bosses, and accessible locations. Another significant difference is built-in support for user-made modifications. […]
