Because none of Fedora's updates aren't actually released yet. They are built and undergoing pushing/testing now, but being a public distro, anyone can get them if they know where to look: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=krack&list_id=7995606 https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=wpa_supplicant https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-60bfb576b7 https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-12e76e8364 https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=717 On Mon, Oct 16, 2017 at 12:06:34PM -0400, Eric Martin wrote: > Here's a comprehensive write up with the latest fixes, and it's getting > updated regularly: > > https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/list-of-firmware-and-driver-… > > I'm not sure how Fedora can have an update and also not have released any > info... > > On Mon, Oct 16, 2017 at 9:42 AM, Tim Keller <turbofx(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hey Gang, > > > > If you haven't heard already, it appears someone has found a major flaw in > > WPA2! > > > > https://www.krackattacks.com/ > > > > Hopefully patches should be forth coming! > > > > Later, > > Tim.

I'm using DD-WRT on my APs at home, but god do the web pages and forums suck for actually figuring out what version to run and whether it's patched or not. Sigh...

Here's a comprehensive write up with the latest fixes, and it's getting updated regularly: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/list-of-firmware-and-driver-… I'm not sure how Fedora can have an update and also not have released any info...

Aruba posted a really good write up as well as patches, and I just updated iOS on my phone though I haven’t seen the typical security email from Apple. Don’t forget, upgrade the client side as well!

Hey Gang, If you haven't heard already, it appears someone has found a major flaw in WPA2! https://www.krackattacks.com/ Hopefully patches should be forth coming! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Hey Everybody, We've got a meeting on Thursday! Location: WPI Student Center Mid Century Room (rm 331) I'm going to do a quick talk on "Ansible". Ansible is a tool that lets you script a complex set of tasks into a playbook that you can then run 1 machine or a million. Snacks and refreshments will be provided and then we'll head off for pizza at tech to continue the conversation. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

I've heard good things about the monoprice one they have. I've been looking at getting a cheap (<$300) engraving machine to learn cad/cam and do some engraving for my scout troop. I figure it's more useful than an eggbot kit in alot of ways.

The "Authorization" is actually from my wife. This is going to be a personal printer to go in my workshop. I'm not afraid of cryptic instructions (I work with Red Hat software!). However, I have a number of expensive hobbies... so I am a bit cost sensitive. Thanks, Tim.

Hi Tim, The Anet A8 and TEVO tarantula are i3 derivatives, what with the hardware being open source. Each of these can be found on Amazon. The assembly guides are pretty cryptic though, with lots of skipped steps and a lack of images. However, If Ab Initio can afford the $600, I would seriously recommend getting Josef Prusa's original version, which he sells on his website. https://shop.prusa3d.com/en/3d-printers/59-original-prusa-i3-mk2-kit.html?g… The manuals are amazing, with an active community of people making revisions on Github. Monoprice also has a fork of the i3 which they sell as well. https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=13860&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4q3brfnj1gIV… In terms of assembly time: the A8, the Tarantula, and the original i3 will all take a couple days of (hopefully some poor intern's) time to assemble and test. The Monoprice i3 ships semi-assembled, and you can get printing within a couple hours. Hope that helped, Ian On Oct 9, 2017, at 11:54 AM, Tim Keller <turbofx(a)gmail.com<mailto:turbofx@gmail.com>> wrote: Hey Gang, I've been given clearance to buy a 3d printer, with the caveat of controlling the cost.

Hey Gang, I've been given clearance to buy a 3d printer, with the caveat of controlling the cost. There are an infinite number of choices out there. A co-worker bought this one and had good luck with it: https://www.walmart.com/ip/2017-Upgraded-Quality-High-Precision-Reprap-Prus… I've also found this one which seems to be pretty good quality as well: https://www.3dprintersonlinestore.com/product/reprap/tarantula-3d-printer-k… I'd honestly like to NOT give walmart money if at all possible.
