Update Flash fix security flaws!

Browsing the web today I noticed that some Flash videos were not playing, and I saw this message:

"This plugin is vulnerable and should be updated".

The option to check and update Flash in Iceweasel told me I had the latest version, but Adobe has issued a security update for Flash.

As I have mentioned before, Flash updates are not automatically downloaded in Debian- a user has to do:
# update-flashplugin-nonfree --install

Restart the browser afterwards to load the updated Flash player.

Report a broken website


Firefox used to have an option to report a broken website: it's gone. However, there is now a cross-browser alternative at webcompat.com (found via Mozilla Support.)

Jessie wallpaper

Debian Jessie is frozen, so with the release on the horizon, it's time to think about what the wallpaper may look like. Here are a couple of my favourites from the proposals so far:
Sky Blue Jessie.
Lines.
