securitybreach Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks for the head's up. I am sure I will see it on Archlinux updates Thursday.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atiustira Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yup Thursday would be a good day to patch if any of these really are as serious as the heart bleed vulnerability was. http://heartbleed.com/ That one had lots of people scrambling to change passwords! http://www.computerworld.com/article/2605220/heartbleed-flaw-was-unknown-before-disclosure.html Say I hear this center can pull in and de cipher just about any thing. http://www.wired.com/2012/03/ff_nsadatacenter/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Eh Heartbleed was updated within minutes on Archlinux. Gotta love the power of LInux and the rolling release model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abarbarian Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Say I hear this center can pull in and de cipher just about any thing. http://www.wired.com..._nsadatacenter/ Hmm not quite sure about that claim. Also it seems that the Chinese still have the fastest computer unless the NSA are keeping something up their sleeves. In June 2013, Tianhe-2 topped the TOP500 list of fastest supercomputers in the world. The computer beat out second place finisher Titan by nearly a 2-to-1 margin. Titan, which is housed at the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, achieved 17.59 petaflops, while Tianhe-2 achieved 33.86 petaflops. Tianhe-2's phenomenal performance returned the title of the world's fastest supercomputer to China after Tianhe-I's début in November 2010. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers said Tianhe-2's win "symbolizes China's unflinching commitment to the supercomputing arms race".[5] China houses 66 of the top 500 supercomputers, second only to the United States' 252 systems.[3] naturally it runs on penguin power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebrke Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) openSuSe gave me the patch early this morning (they're always a little slow, but then again, so am I at this point). Edited March 20, 2015 by ebrke 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
