While setting up Nextcloud on my homelab Debian server, I faced a permission denied error. 🔗 Source: https://www.xda-developers.com/hours-debugging-docker-permissions-until-number-compose-file-fixed/ #debian 👉@sysadminoff https://xda-developers.com/hours-debugging-docker-permissions-until-number-compose-file-fixed

ShinyHunters claims FBI hack via PeopleSoft zero-day, demands retraction instead of ransom ShinyHunters says it breached the FBI through an Oracle PeopleSoft zero-day on FBIjobs.gov and stole 2 to 3 TB of data on current, former and prospective employees.

UN panel says AI safeguards can’t wait after Hugging Face hack A UN-backed scientific panel is urging governments to strengthen AI safeguards before researchers fully understand how advanced agents can escape control. Its first thematic assessment of the OpenAI-linked Hugging Face hack says the precautionary principle should apply because a rare failure could still cause catastrophic or irreversible harm.
