Goodbye to Roblox on Linux with their new anti-cheat and Wine blocking:

You might have seen recently that I covered the upcoming updates for Roblox*, and now it's here blocking Wine with their new anti-cheat. This means you won't be able to play it on Linux any more, at all, unless you find some sort of special workaround.

Previously the roll-out of this update was being tested only with some users. Now though it's here for everyone giving a 64 bit client and introducing their Hyperion anti-cheat software which they are intentionally blocking Wine with. Naturally plenty of Roblox fans on Linux are upset by this, asking their team for updates on what their plans are.

In a fresh statement on their official developer forum one of their staff said this, in reply to users asking about updates in regards to Linux support:

Hi - thanks for the question. I definitely get where you're coming from, and as you point out, you deserve a clear, good-faith answer. Unfortunately that answer is essentially "no."

[...] Again, I'm personally sorry to have to say this. Way back in 2000 I had a few patches accepted into the kernel, and I led the port of Roblox game servers from Windows to Linux several years ago. From a technical and philosophical perspective, it would be a wonderful thing to do. But our first responsibility is to our overall community, and the opportunity cost of supporting a Linux client is far, far too high to justify.

They're clearly not going to be releasing a Native Linux build, which I think most people probably already knew, but at least previously they repeatedly said that Wine was a "priority" to support but now it doesn't sound as likely going by the above.

What is Roblox? Roblox is an app that allows users to play a wide variety of games, create games, and chat with others online. It combines gaming, social media, and social commerce. Billing itself as the ultimate virtual universe, Roblox experiences are places where users can socialize, build their own spaces, and even earn and spend virtual money.

Apparently, it is very "popular with kids".

A previously unknown ransomware group known as RA Group is targeting companies in U.S. and South Korea with leaked Babuk source code.

Cisco Talos researchers recently discovered a new ransomware operation called RA Group that has been active since at least April 22, 2023. The group has already compromised three organizations in the U.S. and one in South Korea.

The researchers assess with high confidence that the group is using the leaked Babuk ransomware source code.

A sample of the ransomware analyzed by Talos is written in C++ and was compiled on April 23, 2023. The binary has the debug path C:\Users\attack\Desktop\Ransomware.Multi.Babuk.c\windows\x64\Release\e.pdb. The researchers noticed that the path contains the same mutex name as the Babuk ransomware, a circumstance that suggests the malware borrows Babuks leaked source code.

Compromised organizations operate in different business verticals, including manufacturing, wealth management, insurance providers, and pharmaceuticals.

Like other ransomware operations, the RA Group also uses a double extortion model and runs a date leak site.

This actor is expanding its operations at a fast pace. RA Group launched their data leak site on April 22, 2023, and on April 27, we observed the first batch of victims, three in total, followed by another one on April 28. We also observed the actor making cosmetic changes to their leak site after disclosing the victims details, confirming they are in the early stages of their operation. reads the report published by Cisco Talos.

The RA Group is also attempting to sell the stolen data through its leak site.

Once encrypted the victims files RA Group, the gang drops customized ransom notes (How To Restore Your Files.txt.), which include the victims name and a unique link to download the exfiltration proofs.

According to the ransom notes,...

Space startup Vast has announced that it intends to launch what it calls the worlds first commercial space station, Haven-1, sometime after August 2025 atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket as the first element of a 100-m (330 ft) rotating station.

With its increasing emphasis on lunar and deep-space missions, NASA has decided to leave low-Earth orbit to private companies when it comes to human spaceflight. The idea is that when the International Space Station (ISS) is retired in 2030, the space agency will buy time on some of the commercial stations currently on the drawing board.

A new contender in this is Vast, which says it is developing a self-contained habitat module with a large viewing port that can fit in the payload section of a Falcon 9. Its capable of docking with a SpaceX Dragon and can accommodate up to four people aboard for up to 30 days. Also planned is a much larger module that can fit inside a SpaceX Starship.

SpaceX launched a batch of 56 Starlink satellites into orbit early Sunday from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida and successfully landed a rocket in the sea.

Most artists and music labels share their music with the public on YouTube, free of charge.

The popular video platform has become an important promotional channel that brings in billions of dollars of advertising revenue every year.

The success story has a downside, however. Millions of people use so-called stream-ripping websites to download music tracks from YouTube, without permission. YouTubes terms and service prohibit this activity but there are hundreds of online tools through which people can easily rip and download content from the site.

Music companies, often represented by the RIAA, are actively cracking down on what they see as major piracy threat. Some operators of these stream-ripping tools disagree, pointing at the variety of legal use cases instead.

Yout vs. RIAA

At the end of 2020, the operator of one of the largest stream-rippers took matters into his own hands. Instead of hiding in the shadows like some of his competitors, Yout.com owner Johnathan Nader sued the RIAA, asking a federal court in Connecticut to declare his service non-infringing.

Last fall, the district court decided to dismiss the matter, handing a win to the RIAA. Judge Stefan Underhill ultimately concluded that Yout had failed to show that it doesnt circumvent YouTubes technological protection measures. This also rendered the associated defamation and business disparagement claims moot.

Yout did not give up on the case. Nader opted to appeal the verdict as he believes that YouTube rippers dont violate the DMCA. After the RIAAs request for legal fees was denied, Youts attorneys filed their opening brief at the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in February.

Key Questions

This case essentially revolves around two questions, to which both parties have completely different answers. These questions will ultimately determine whether Yout and similar stream-ripping services operate legally.

Does YouTube employ a technological measure that effectively controls access to copyrighted works?

If the answer is yes, does the Yout service circumvent these controls?

In its opening brief, Yout...

Summary: IBM seems to have shut down OpenSource.com (its online but inactive; nobody works on it anymore). The Linux Foundation did the same to Linux.com in 2019 and then trashed it (because it doesnt care about Linux, except as a brand to milk).

THIS does not shock us, but it certainly saddens us. IBM doesnt seem to mind the fact that Red Hat revenue is growing, according to IBM. Red Hat is suffering layoffs and too little information is provided about what or who is impacted.

It has been sad to see this as weve noted both the layoffs and the fate of opensource.com. Now it is becoming increasingly confirmed that IBM does to Open Source what it did to CentOS a couple of years ago.

Wikipedia says that in December last year IBM had 288,300 employees.To explain our allegation quite succinctly, bear in mind opensource.com (where Ben Cotton played a prominent role) has not been active for quite some time, which is extremely unusual. The timing gave a clue because of the announcement of layoffs. Days ago Ben Cotton wrote a blog post saying he was among those who had been deemed redundant (thats absurd as hes a very essential worker).

No activity since April 23, i.e. the layoffs.My wife has been reading opensource.com every day for nearly a decade and Cotton is one of the first people who came to her mind in relation to this site because he used to be very active there (a lot less in recent years). She says she loved his articles, so its a tragic loss for IBM. Could they find nothing else at their oversized company to cut? Wikipedia says that in December last year IBM had 288,300 employees. So why give Ben Cotton the pink slip? He too is baffled by this.

The pharmaceutical company behind Martin Shkreli's infamous 4,000 percent price hikenow known as Vyera Pharmaceuticalsfiled for bankruptcy this week and plans to sell its assets to pay off millions in debts.

In court documents filed Wednesday, Vyera's chief restructuring officer, Lawrence Perkins, largely blamed Shkreli for dooming the company and its affiliates.
[...]
Shkreli founded Vyera in 2014 under the name Turing Pharmaceuticals. His focus was to acquire sole-source drugs that treat life-threatening conditions in small populations of patientsand then dramatically jack up the price. In August 2015, he did just that, buying the rights to the decades-old anti-parasitic drug Daraprim for $55 million and abruptly raising the price from $17.60 per tablet to $750, a more than 4,000 percent increase.
[...]
Shkreli's influence wasn't shaken until January 2020, when the Federal Trade Commission and several state attorneys general sued Shkreli and the companythen called Vyerafor allegedly violating antitrust laws. Soon after, Vyera appointed a new board and management to purge ties to Shkreli. Vyera later settled the FTC's lawsuit, while Shkreli insisted on going to trial, where he lost, was banned from the pharmaceutical industry for life, and ordered to pay roughly $65 million in disgorgement. He is appealing the ruling.

Meanwhile, Vyera never reversed Shkreli's price hike.

A former Ubiquiti employee has been sentenced to six years in jail for the theft of confidential data and extorting company for ransom.

NICKOLAS SHARP, a former Ubiquiti employee was sentenced today to six years in prison.

In December 2020, SHARP stole gigabytes of data from the company, then he posed as an anonymous hacker that was offering support to the company to recover the stolen files and identify the alleged flaw exploited in the alleged security incident. 

In December 2020, SHARP secretly stole gigabytes of Company-1s data.  While purportedly working to remediate the security breach he created, SHARP extorted the company, as an anonymous hacker, for nearly $2 million for the return of the files and the identification of a remaining purported vulnerability. reads the press release published by DoJ. SHARP subsequently re-victimized his employer by causing the publication of misleading news articles as a purported anonymous whistleblower about the companys handling of the breach that he perpetrated, which were followed by the loss of over $4 billion in Company-1s market capitalization.  

In January 2021, SHARP was working on a team remediating the security incident, when he sent a ransom note to the company. He was posing as a threat actor who claimed to have obtained unauthorized access to Ubiquitis networks.  The man demanded the payment of a 50 Bitcoin ransom (approximately $1.9 million based on the prevailing exchange rate at the time) for the return of the stolen data and the identification of a purported vulnerability.  The company refused to pay and the man published a portion of the stolen files on a publicly accessible online platform.

SHARP also acted to make its activity as malicious operations conducted by other coworkers. 

SHARP (37) was arrested in December 2021, in March he pleaded guilty to posing as an anonymous hacker and a whistleblower to extort almost $2 million worth of cryptocurrency while working at Ubiquiti.

On March 24, 2021, FBI agents executed a search warrant at SHARPs residence in Portland, Oregon, and seized certain electronic devices, including the laptop used by the employee to steal the companys data. 

It has been estimated that the publication of stolen data caused the drop of the companys stock price pf approximately 20%, betwe...

Before you get too excited, the meeting is about how NASA can evaluate and study UAP by using data, technology, and the tools of science, and the press release explains that they wont be reviewing or assessing any unidentifiable observations. So if youre hoping for the US governments tacit acknowledgment that were not alone in the universe, youll probably be disappointed.

To compete with American rivals, Eutelsat's Eva Berneke first has to navigate Russia's war in Ukraine, Brexit politics, and jamming attacks by Iran:

Eva Berneke describes her first year at the helm of the world's third-largest satellite company as a "whirlwind." That's an understatement. Since she took over the top job at Eutelsat in January 2022, the Danish CEO has become a direct competitor to Elon Musk, been accused by the Ukrainian government of aiding Russian propaganda, and found herself in the thick of bitter Brexit politicsand that's before you even mention the Iranian sabotage attempt.

[...] Undaunted, Berneke responded by initiating her own shake-up. In July, the company announced plans to merge with struggling British satellite provider OneWeb. As part of the deal, Eutelsat absorbed OneWeb's constellation of 648 low-orbit satellites. At just 1,200 km above Earth, the OneWeb fleet delivers faster internet speeds than Eutelsat's geostationary satellites, which sit 35,000 km above the planet's surface.

[...] The OneWeb-Eutelsat merger has been touted as Europe's entry into the space race. It is the only company currently competing with Musk's Starlink in the low-orbit market. But to claim its title as a European space giant, Eutelsat first has to navigate messy post-Brexit politics. Both France's Eutelsat and Britain's OneWeb were part-owned by their respective governments, and the two countries will continue to own stakes in the new business.

Berneke admits Brexit has brought challenges. "But there's been a willingness on both sides to reach across the Channel to try and find a good way of collaborating," she says. If Europe wants a homegrown satellite giant, Britain and France will have to resolve their differences. "[OneWeb's fleet] is going to be one of the only non-US-based constellations for a while," she says.

Plastic welding isnt a new idea. But a recent video from [The Maker] shows an interesting twist. Given a broken piece of plastic, he secures it together with tape, machines out a channel around the cracks, and then melts zip ties into the channels. Honestly, although he mentions plastic welding and soldering, we arent sure this isnt just simple gluing, but it did give us some ideas. Watch the video below and youll probably get the same ideas.

The ingenuity here isnt necessarily using hot plastic to glue together two pieces thats just a hot glue gun, after all. Rather, it occurred to us that the key here was machining out the places where significant amounts of the hot plastic could bond the two pieces together. He cut the channels with a rotary tool, buffed them, and used a hot knife to give them some internal texture. But with a 3D printer, you could build these channels into parts that were made to interlock.

Think about it. Two pieces you print that have some type of tab arrangement to interlock. But their surfaces provide a built-in glue canal, sort of like he builds on the video. At the end, you could use some of the same filament in a 3D printing pen or even rigged in a hot glue gun like the zip ties and make a perfect connection.

We havent tried this, but it seems like a good idea. Weve certainly...

    • Illuminations

      While going for a slow walk down Writers Lane, on this fine Sunday, I suddenly remembered the first free verse poem I ever wrote, back in the mid 90s (later published as the leading poem in my first book of poetry, Ormmnniskan [Serpent Man], in 2015).
      My father had died the year before, in 1994, and I was utterly lost. He was my mentor, my introduction into the arts, into literature and specifically poetry (he was an aspiring poet back in the early 1940s, but got desillusioned [to say the least] by the war, stationed on the Swedish-Norwegian border all through-out his active service, and started drinking at an early age, found his safe place, his own steady pace in life a periodic abuse of alcohol, a slowly progressing disease that eventually took his life at the age of 74). The overwhelming grief I felt was double-edged. I had been there myself, drank far too much in my early twenties, later went into a self-imposed exile in the U.S. and Mexico and fell into an addictive world of mescalin, DMT and psilocybin. I came out of it, in the early 90s, and never went back. My father stood by me. And my mother, of course. Without them, I wouldnt be here. And thats that. Illuminations. And anxiety, passion, fright, darkness, pain, sorrow, love and hope.
