[GSoC 2023] VPN Support Project Update #4

=> ↺ [GSoC 2023] VPN Support Project Update #4

So we are just past the midway point for GSoC and last update I told you guys that I had a working (albeit somewhat buggy) TUN Driver working. I had gotten great feedback from Pulkomandy, Axel, and Korli to help with a more efficient driver and to make it more human-readable because it made no sense the way I had written it. I have very good news to bring to everyone in that all of the 3 main problems that I talked about last time are all solved! I think most of them got solved after I fully understood creating semaphores and imposed execution order by adding a write semaphore. While this new code made the driver much more efficient and less error-prone, there were two new errors that popped up during testing:

FINOS ANNOUNCES FORMATION OF AN OPEN STANDARD PROJECT FOR FINANCIAL SERVICES COMMON CLOUD CONTROLS TO ADDRESS COMPLIANCE AND CLOUD CONCENTRATION RISKS

=> ↺ FINOS ANNOUNCES FORMATION OF AN OPEN STANDARD PROJECT FOR FINANCIAL SERVICES COMMON CLOUD CONTROLS TO ADDRESS COMPLIANCE AND CLOUD CONCENTRATION RISKS

The Fintech Open Source Foundation (FINOS), the foundation of open innovation in financial services and part of the Linux Foundation, today announced the formation of an open standard project, based upon an approach developed by FINOS Platinum Member Citi, to describe consistent controls for compliant public cloud deployments in the financial services sector.
As the pace of cloud adoption accelerates in a highly fragmented global regulatory landscape, this collaborative project aims to develop a unified set of cybersecurity, resiliency, and compliance controls for common services across the major cloud service providers (CSPs). By developing a unified taxonomy of common services and associated threats, the project also sets out to alleviate the systemic risk of cloud concentration, an issue highlighted in recent reports from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the UK HMT, the European Council, and the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

Turning a 15 years old laptop into a children proof retrogaming station

=> ↺ Turning a 15 years old laptop into a children proof retrogaming station

This article explains a setup I made for our family vacation place, I wanted to turn an old laptop (a Dell Vostro 1500 from 2008) into a retrogaming station. That's actually easy to do, but I wanted to make it "childproof" so it will always work even if we let children alone with the laptop for a moment, that part was way harder. This is not a tutorial explaining everything from A to Z, but mostly what worked / didn't work from my experimentation.
