Най-накрая...

Честита Нова година! И честита нова валута! Честито евро!

Деветнадесет години. Толкова време ни отне да завършим прехода от „малка“ комплексирана страна от постсоциалистическия блок до напълно интегрирана и пълноправна страна-членка на Европейския съюз, шенгенското пространство и еврозоната. Десетата по територия и петнадесетата по население (от 27) между другото. Стига с този комплекс за малоценност.

Можеше ли да стане по-рано? Можеше и трябваше. Но попречиха… и още пречат колебливостта, инерцията, конспиративните теории, геополитиката, байганювщината и местната (псевдо)политика. Най-много си пречихме сами. Защото в главите на мнозина Европа продължава да е някъде там – отвъд, а ние сме тук – далеч и… назад. Защото „тука е така“, а можеше и да не е. Защото допускаме в управлението на държавата ни хора, на които иначе не бихме поверили да… измажат дувар.

Но по-добре късно. Защото най-накрая се осъществи избора, който няколко поколения българи направиха, очакваха и искаха от началото на прехода през 90-те години на миналия век. Т.нар. цивилизационен избор бе направен тогава. А всички опити да се промени посоката забавиха нещата, но се провалиха.

Вчера управителят на БНБ е направил едно от най-смислените и стойностни политически декларации в най-новата ни българска история. Еврото като знак за принадлежност. Задължително е за четене или слушане.

Оттук нататък остава всеки ден да съхраняваме и пазим това място, право и взаимна принадлежност занапред. Като пълноценни и пълнокръвни европейци от България.

За много години!

Shadow-utils 4.19.0 released

Post Syndicated from jzb original https://lwn.net/Articles/1052435/

Version
4.19.0 of the shadow-utils
project has been released. Notable changes in this release include
disallowing
some usernames that were previously accepted with the
--badname option, and removing
support for escaped newlines in configuration files. Possibly more
interesting is the announcement that the project is deprecating a
number of programs, hashing algorithms, and the ability to
periodically expire passwords:

Scientific research shows that periodic password expiration
leads to predictable password patterns, and that even in a
theoretical scenario where that wouldn’t happen the gains in
security are mathematically negligible (paper
link).

Modern security standards, such as NIST SP 800-63B-4 in the USA,
prohibit periodic password expiration. […]

To align with these, we’re deprecating the ability to
periodically expire passwords. The specifics and long-term
roadmap are currently being discussed, and we invite feedback
from users, particularly from those in regulated environments.
See #1432.

The release announcement notes that the features will remain
functional “for a significant period” to minimize
disruption.

LinkedIn Job Scams

Post Syndicated from Bruce Schneier original https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2025/12/linkedin-job-scams.html

Interesting article on the variety of LinkedIn job scams around the world:

In India, tech jobs are used as bait because the industry employs millions of people and offers high-paying roles. In Kenya, the recruitment industry is largely unorganized, so scamsters leverage fake personal referrals. In Mexico, bad actors capitalize on the informal nature of the job economy by advertising fake formal roles that carry a promise of security. In Nigeria, scamsters often manage to get LinkedIn users to share their login credentials with the lure of paid work, preying on their desperation amid an especially acute unemployment crisis.

These are scams involving fraudulent employers convincing prospective employees to send them money for various fees. There is an entirely different set of scams involving fraudulent employees getting hired for remote jobs.

I intend to do a similar series of serieses of posts for the next systemd
