A dozen+ RCEs on popular LLM framework libraries like LangChain and LlamaIndex - used in lots of chat-assisted apps including GitHub. These guys got a reverse shell in two prompts, and even managed to exploit SetUID for full root on the underlying VM!

@kernellogger @archlinux @fedora @opensuse I.e. I'm just peeking and poking and not fully understanding what is going on. Apologies for my ignorance :-) But if there are open proposals whatnot on this I'd for sure want to be in the loop.

@kernellogger @archlinux @fedora @opensuse

True, I want to be in the loop with this for sure!

Bitwig 5.2 is out! https://www.bitwig.com/whats-new/ #bitwig #audio

@kernellogger @archlinux @fedora @opensuse thanks for the link!

I get the issue but sometimes you have to wait that few weeks because between rc's pull requests are more eagerly postponed to the next release. This is not a comment to disregard the issue as a whole :-)

@kernellogger @archlinux @fedora @opensuse Hmmm... what. Even for a Github issue one week is not a slow turnover time. Maybe I don't understand the context. People have other priorities, are sometimes sick, have holidays and unfortunately shit happens all the time :-)

I think this is the most time-standing IT book that I own. It was published in 1999 and I still check it from time to time.

E.g. when collaborating with hpa on arch/x86/realmode, this book was my main reference in addition to ELF specification.

It is also as prose very nice reading with cool stories embedded!

love this, going to try it ao486 core developed for MiSTeR FPGA https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS :-) fan-tas-tic #microsoft #dos

I wonder if this the most convenient way to reset #KDE #Plasma 6 panel settings:

rm -f .config/plasmashellrc && kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell

A recent #Amiga demo "Backslide to Arcanum" by Cosmic Orbs included a mind-blowing fullscreen 50Hz rotozoom effect on Amiga 500. Having created a rotozoomer on A500 back in the day I knew exactly how incredibly hard it is to make such routine run fast. The effect has now been dissected and there's also author's writeup.
