> The rootkit now disables SELinux enforcing mode on-demand when the ICMP reverse shell is triggered, leaving zero audit logs.

Is this independent of the Linux Security Modules policy, e.g. RHEL default policy for SE Linux?

> I understand why they dropped [Photon] in favor of Qt and later Web technologies

The arrows of time branch and spiral, so it's possible that "later" could require some properties of "earlier".

If Photon could not be open-sourced, it could be licensed to a third party for custodian maintenance. If QNX is abandoning Photon forever, would Blackberry object to Photon being cloned for Linux or FreeBSD? That could preserve a future option for QNX to use it again, like XFCE.

Enthusiasts still use Blackberry keyboards on handheld devices in 2025, which sell out in minutes. In a parallel universe, Blackberry.com offers embedded SBC developers self-service purchase and global delivery of the legendary Blackberry keyboard, with Bluetooth for convenience or USB-c for security.

Thanks, you're correct. The cookie banner script at [1] was blocked and somehow it crashes the whole site. I only see the black background.

Exactly. And there’s a huge community of the old Blackberry qnx device owners as well still trying to survive.

  Developer:  BlackBerry (formerly QNX Software Systems)
  
  On April 9, 2010, Research In Motion (later renamed to BlackBerry Limited) announced they would acquire QNX Software Systems from Harman International Industries.


And the bb10os was based on this. I still use it and it’s the ultimate phone that supports few android apps still.


Still present in Debian stable 12 (trixie), detected by outbound network firewall OpenSnitch.

For ~100K authors with content on Github Pages, Liquid conformance avoids learning new template syntax or a programming language.

For a greenfield site where Jekyll/Liquid compatibility is not beneficial, Zola may be an option, https://github.com/getzola/zola


  Conformant: Incompatibilities with strict shopify/liquid are bugs to be fixed.
  Flexible: Liquid embraces variants for different domains and we want to follow in that spirit.
  Performant: Do the best we can within what is conformant.
This has potential to replace Github Pages ruby-based Jekyll+Liquid, which is unusably slow on iOS without JIT.

Compiled cobalt with liquid-rust on iSH is fast enough for static blog publishing and browser-based offline site preview on iOS/iPadOS, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46220227


Cobalt + Liquid-Rust + iSH enables offline writing with iPad portability, lockdown mode security and battery life, retaining interoperability with Linux static publishing toolchains. No jailbreaks or sideloading required.

Due to lack of JIT on iOS, Jekyll is too slow to run on iSH. Liquid-Rust (https://github.com/cobalt-org/liquid-rust) templates, even with partial compatibility for the Ruby-based Liquid template engine, reduce the cost of migrating from the Jekyll Ruby static site generator used by Github Pages.

On Debian x86, build a cobalt static binary for use on iSH (Alpine Linux /w musl libc) on iPadOS:

  sudo apt install rustup build-essential
  rustup target add i586-unknown-linux-musl
  git clone https://github.com/cobalt-org/cobalt.rs
  cd cobalt.rs
  cargo build --release --target i586-unknown-linux-musl
  cp target/i586-unknown-linux-musl/release/cobalt /mnt/usb
Copy cobalt static binary to iSH filesystem via iOS Files app, execute and view http://localhost:NNNN with a web browser:

  ./cobalt --no-watch --host 0.0.0.0 --port NNNN
