Desaster Warning Time! Unless you enjoy restoring from backups in the most creative ways, DO NOT casually install today's update of sys-apps/attr-2.4.48, or your box WILL be hosed. If you are on ~arch pmask that thing _right now_: $echo "=sys-apps/attr-2.4.48" >> /etc/portage/package.mask

I just noticed I am not able to override FF's protestations about the domain name of the loaded TLS certificate not matching the visited domain. When I click on Advance/"Confirm Security Exception" to permanently store this exception nothing happens. All I can do thereafter is cancel this pop

I have a less-two-old N3700 CPU on a Asrock N3700-ITX board that (was)is perfect for my NAS, but without pcid instruction that mitigates the last pti patches slowdown. Asrock said nothing about the microcode/bios update and I asked for warranty return because I consider a factory defect but I
