New blogpost about creating bit-by-bit reproducible images with mkosi(!)

I'd really like to read a well researched article that sums up how Linux distros reacted to the massive influx of #Linux #kernel CVE that started ~half a year β both for their #LinuxKernel packages and their live-patching offerings.
But I guess that is an enormous amount of work that no media outlet in this world is willing to pay anyone for writing. π
Slide taken from @gregkh's "Why are there so many kernel CVEs?" talk he gave at OSS China yesterday (https://social.kernel.org/objects/c9979d9f-399f-428b-ac56-c41598076dfa ) #LinuxKernel
Don't panic! It's only 60 Linux CVE security bulletins a week https://zdnet.com/article/dont-panic-its-only-60-linux-cve-security-bulletins-a-week/ by @sjvn
Sure, it sounds like a lot, but it's just business as usual for #Linux #security.
Ok, so the day has come. On the context of getting "/usr merge" on alpine, I am going to try update the FHS.
9 years after it was updated, big parts of it are out-of-sync with the current Linux distro conventions.
We (@postmarketOS) already pinged the @linuxfoundation about it in February, and their suggestion was to get somebody interested to do the work. So let's start that process now! Since the FHS mailing list seems defunc (I subscribed and sent an email in February that never got added to the archive), please send me an email at pabloyoyoista@postmarketos.org so we can get a list of people to start discussing the process

Recently, a Dutch hacker found a vulnerability allowing him to shut down 4 million solar power installations. A handful of mostly non-European places manage perhaps 100 GW of solar power in the EU. Any mishap there, or heaven forbid, a compromise, could easily shut down so much power that the European electricity grid would collapse. Shockingly, we regulate these massive control panels as if they are online birthday calendars. And that must change. https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/the-gigantic-unregulated-power-plants-in-the-cloud/
