And when some crooked US politicians start saying "Why do we keep supporting Ukraine?" remind them that they fucking put their name on the legal document where the U.S. guaranteed the territorial sovereignty of Ukraine.

yes @ljs is implementing java vm in kernel, handling java error messages using printk() was requirement from oracle :)

Hello! I suddenly find myself needing a job... yesterday!

I'm an experienced software and research engineer with a load of data science skills; I've worked on profiling and tracing MPI/MPICH programs, supercomputer simulations, C++ debugging (including tracing MPI race conditions! fun!), statistical analysis of chemical simulations, web service API/work, some front end, etc. I've written/debugged/worked on projects in C, C++, TypeScript, C#, Python, shell, and dabbled in Rust. I'm able to jump on any project and learn quickly. I love working in supercomputing!

I'm putting together my resume but if you know if anyone looking for someone to hire, here I am! I'm open to contract and temporary positions, too, so long as they're remote. I'm in Portland, OR, in the US.

Boosts appreciated!

This "untrusted data" patch series from Benno Lossin is the result of conversations at last weekend's Rust Linux kernel conference in Copenhagen:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240913112643.542914-1-benno.lossin@proton.me/

It's not a "silver bullet" for why we should be using rust in the Linux kernel, but it is a "big giant sledgehammer" to help squash and prevent from happening MANY common types of kernel vulnerabilities and bugs (remember, "all input is evil!" and this change forces you to always be aware of that, which is something that C in the kernel does not.)

I had always felt that Rust was the future for what we need to do in Linux, but now I'm sure, because if we can do stuff like this, with no overhead involved (it's all checked at build time), then we would be foolish not to give it a real try.

And yes, I've asked for this for years from the C developers, and maybe we can also do it there, but it's not obvious how and no one has come up with a way to do so. Maybe now they will have some more incentive :)

safety first. i was not aware, that 'sulin' has also own condom. even it looks more like tampon.

@lkundrak
dualboot in autoexec.bat :) sweet memories. at work we had scsi iomedia jaz drive (1gb) and iomega zip drive 100mb. i had them formatted as bootable in windows and only autoexec.bat there. few months later bootable cd with installer of red hat 5.1 manhattan for 150 czk.
umsdos replaced by ext2.

“The reason why [the Google/Amazon/Microsoft/Meta oligopoly] and all its little digirati minions on social media are pushing things like crypto, then the blockchain, and now virtual reality and artificial intelligence is because those technologies require a metric fuckton of computing power to operate. That fact may be devastating for the earth, indeed it is for our mental health, but it’s wonderful news for the four storefronts selling all the juice.”

return +/- 90y back to times of voskovec and werich and their forbinas (vsi vod ni a vsi vodni). nanosekunda is calling for such scetch/forbina :)

(edit: i can't resist:
werich: (koukaje na voskovce) nad cim premyslis?
voskovec: jak dlouha je nanosekunda? a da se to vubec zmerit?
werich: vsechno se da zmerit a nezalezi jestli je na nose, nebo na necem jinym. dlouha je, dle meho soudu, stejne )

i went on karosa from pilsen to brno 20y ago. i think it was 7 or 8 hours with scheduled breaks in tabor and jihlava. drinked almost whole bottle of dobra voda while waiting for the bus in the long queue.
when i saw karosa, i realised drinking before departure was not good idea. every stop i evaluated possibilities to pee. i gave up after 1.5h and went to driver and asked him to stop. response was that in tabor is scheduled break and that there are toilets on station.
last minutes before tabor i saw black mist.
even i didn't drinked situation repeated before jihlava.
