Submission + - 'Missing-Scientist' Story Is Unbelievably Dumb (theatlantic.com)
mmarlett writes: The Atlantic has a long article on the story of missing scientists recently featured here on Slashdot. In short, it is an incoherent conspiracy theory that spreads wide and far, not paying any attention to boundaries of time, space or area of expertise. “Which is all to say that another piece of flagrant nonsense has ascended to the highest levels of U.S. politics and media. To call it a conspiracy theory would be far too kind, because no comprehensive theory has been floated to explain the pattern of events. But then, even the phrase pattern of events is imprecise, because there is no pattern here at all. Given all the people who could have been roped into this narrative but weren’t, any hope of finding meaning falls away. Barring any dramatic new disclosures, the mystery of the missing scientists has the dubious honor of being a sham in every way at once.”

Submission + - Little Snitch comes to Linux to expose what your software is really doing (nerds.xyz)
BrianFagioli writes: Little Snitch, the long-time macOS network monitoring tool, is now getting a Linux version. The developer says the idea came from experimenting with Linux personally and realizing how strange it felt not knowing what connections the system was making. Existing Linux tools like OpenSnitch and various command-line utilities exist, but none offered the same simple workflow of seeing which process is connecting where and blocking it instantly. The new Linux version uses eBPF for kernel-level traffic interception, with the core written in Rust and a web-based interface that even allows monitoring remote Linux servers from another device.
During testing on Ubuntu, the developer noticed something interesting. Over the course of a week, only nine system processes made internet connections. On macOS, similar testing reportedly showed more than 100 processes communicating externally. Of course, applications behave similarly across platforms, and launching Firefox immediately triggered connections to telemetry and advertising endpoints, while LibreOffice made no network connections at all. The project is still early and not positioned as a full security firewall, but rather a transparency tool designed to show what software is actually doing on the network and let users block connections if they choose.
