Dirty Pipe Crack

Linux kernel 5.8 introduced a new vulnerability that allows privilege escalation. If you've upgraded to a new Samsung Galaxy S22 or a Google Pixel 6 you're vulnerable. This affects Linux servers as well and according to Red Hat, as of March 7th: "Currently there is no mitigation available for this flaw."

Pine64 PinePower

 I recently bought one of these and it has absolutely taken over my desk:


I plug my DeX dock that needs 9V into the first USB port. My S20FE charges "super fast" plugged into the 65 watt USB-C port. And the wireless charger on top (not pictured) is just the right size for my new Samsung Zflip 3 phone when it's folded in half. It's like they were made for each other.
