https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/arch-dev-public@lists.archlinux.org/thread/MZLH43574GGP7QQ7RKAAIRFT5LJPCEB4/ The developers of Arch Linux distribution announced that they have received an investment of 562 thousand euros from the STF (Sovereign Tech Fund), a fund established in Germany to stimulate the development of open digital infrastructure and open source ecosystems. The fund was established with funding from the German Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Protection and is overseen by the Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation SPRIND. The funding has been allocated to work on modernising the ALPM (Arch Linux Package Management) toolkit, which develops specifications, utilities and libraries for tasks such as creating and using packages and managing repositories.

The project attempts to structure interfaces related to package management and provide utilities and pipelining written in the Rust programming language. The specifications and utilities developed by the project are based on Pacman functionality. The reason for switching to Rust after using C in Pacman is to reduce the likelihood of committing memory errors.

AMD’s trusted execution environment blown wide open by new BadRAM attack
https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/12/new-badram-attack-neuters-security-assurances-in-amd-epyc-processors/

Attack bypasses AMD protection promising security, even when a server is compromised.
Google is rolling out the Identity Check feature it announced last week.

When Identity Check is enabled, biometric authentication will be required for sensitive actions like:

- Accessing saved passkeys and app passwords
- Changing the PIN, pattern, or password, and turning off Find My Device

...whenever your phone is in an untrusted location. This makes it harder for someone to compromise your Google Account. Turning off the feature requires either your biometrics or your Google Account and can only be done when your phone has Internet access.

Identity Check works on Android 15 and later and is available through a beta version of Google Play Services.

Thanks to Matthew Rawling on my Telegram group for the screenshots!
The November 2024 Google Play System Update adds support for letting you see the past 7-days worth of permission access data through Android's Privacy Dashboard, as reported by 9to5Google.

This is already enabled in Android 16 DP1, but as I mentioned before, Google originally planned for this feature to roll out in Android 13.

ISO 20022: The New Language Of Payments (Digital Currency Scheme Goes Live Nov. 2025)

In October, 2021, the Fed spread the word that all Fed banks are going to implement the ISO 20022 system for Fedwire Funds Service (FFS). In July, 2023, they launched FedNow, a precursor to CBDCs for us every day working Americans.

Curiously enough, Ripple's blockchain-based payments (XRP) were already compliant with ISO 20022 before the Fed made their announcement as tweeted by Ripple's senior vice president of product, Asheesh Birla in 2020.

HSBC will be delivering a series of high value major payment scheme migrations to achieve full ISO 20022 compliance by November 2025, when the existing payment format will be discontinued.

Payment Market infrastructures (PMIs) of all major currencies are either live or in the process of adopting ISO 20022 by November 2025 for cross border payments.Adoption plans are still evolving in each market and further clarity will be provided over time.


Things are moving real fast.
