News : SELinux wizzard tool !

I found today in Fedora linux this tool for SELinux with a GUI that allows creating linux security policies.
I will write a little about this system because it is a very good solution.
When I started studying selinux, it was not very well implemented and it seems that the interest of users to be protected is higher.
As you well know, the starting points are network security and data protection and kernel-level intrusions into software.
For those who don't know, SELinux is a system that allows limiting defined resources and allowing other actions or not.
I tested the tool and I can say that it solves only the standard file creation part without the possibility of selecting the SELinux bools variables.
If the one who created this tool will continue to be a very good tool.
It's currently a wizzard interface, I'd call it a Node Editor to allow the assembly of different processing blocks (nodes) into combinations that feed data to each other along connections you specify to produce complex effects.
After completing the steps in the wizard, you will have some default files.
I used the name firefox because the security of the browser is very low at the moment.
Here are some images of this tool:

News : ... about new about Google Analytics 4.

I found at Google.com analytics academy this message that urges us to go through the courses from the skillshop.exceedlms.com website.
It seems to pass this is quite important if they offered free courses:
These courses are about Universal Analytics. Starting July 1, 2023, standard UA properties will stop processing data (July 1, 2024 for UA 360 properties). Learn about Google Analytics 4, our next-generation measurement solution, with these free courses on Skillshop.

News : VirtualBox 7.0.14 released! from Oracle.

Oracle today released a 7.0 maintenance release which improves stability and fixes regressions. See the Changelog
I also use a version of Fedora running on VirtualBox for tests and rapid development.
Most use Linux on older hardware as a backup OS...
You can use Linux with specific non-default settings for good security of the operating system, but it does not make it invincible.
I don't know if VirtualBox solved the resize of the virtual partition - this was the last issue I encountered with this tool, but it is useful if you want to test something quickly.
