@kernellogger Actually I did a typo, I was supposed to do system upgrade from 40 to 41 but typed by mistake 42 :-)

Oh well, I guess I will make fresh 41 beta install https://fedoraproject.org/workstation/download?beta

@duanin2 unsurprisingly yet another merkle tree ;-) read-only except system update so make sense in that context...

I was asked to ack/nack a patch for it and I've just read LWN article about it in 2011. Netflix contributed it but AFAIK as of today Netflix uses FreeBSD not Linux.

Does anyone use dm-verity for anything? Looks almost like abaddonware.

This makes #Julia rad. You have like Jupyter notebook in a terminal! And with not much configuration (just add Plots and SixelTerm packages to the environment).

I don't care about learning a new language but it's all this other stuff in the environment that makes it so much more effective that it is worth it (and the language seems to be as trivial as Python anyway).

Game changer... ... ... in math ;-)

Deep Dive into RCU Race Condition: Analysis of TCP-AO UAF (CVE-2024–27394)

V4bel published an analysis of a race condition vulnerability in the TCP-AO subsystem caused by incorrect usage of the kernel RCU mechanism.

The researcher managed to trigger it reliably using the ExpRace technique.

Time for Paul's quiz session! Have been waiting for a new RCU article only because I love those quizzes even tho I'm not always that great solving them ;-)

Also the book "Is Parallel Programming Hard, And, If So, What Can You Do About It?" is worth reading.

Makes me wonder why don't netatalk just plain import those legacy ciphers? Their security has been compromised already by time and age, so it does not really matter. Nobody's after your Apple 2 LAN setup 🤶

In common case you never should reimplement ciphers given FIPS 140 crap etc.

When you think about it there are no hardware companies anymore in IT. There's just geeks doing weird stuff with their laptops and sending their designs to manufacturing plants :-)

A company like Nvidia for instance is a design company, IP holder and brand agency with a research department. [no means to slander Nvidia per se, sorry]

It's kind of interesting equation given that the state of the art manufacturing is located in places, which would not require a lot to turn into warzones.

I just find this fascinating...

@wamserma Still, if TSMC and Samsung facilities went down for some reason, it would be a game over for all consumer electronics. I would not actually mind computers getting slower and moving backwards to 16/22 nm if that ever happened :-)

I have to say that I really like Julia. Always have a terminal with REPL open for calculation and computation :-) In production I could imagine it being used exactly for the computational model and interfacing that with C/Rust/Java shim.

I just needed a calculator and it really is the answer to my needs. It has pretty cool Jupyter Notebook style model called shared environments that seems to work for my brains.

In the niches where Julia could deliver it is not really even the case that C would be the king but more like people are still using Fortran, Matlab and similar relics.

Two years ago, Joe Biden said the COVID pandemic was over. Since then, 200,000 people have died from COVID. Many more are suffering from Long COVID.

Wear masks.

Not only my gym went to bankruptcy but German Post office lost my letter, which contained signed contract for my employer. I used priority mail that cost me almost 30 EUR to send.

It really feels like Monday 🤷 Oh well, I'll just redo my contract, scan the pages and blah blah blah...

I'm glad that I installed while ago pull-up bar (not sure if that is the correct English translation) to my home so I did some pull ups, presses etc at home.

I'm glad that I had only monthly membership to the gym that went to bankruptcy, so I lost only 40 euros.

Now I need to find a new gym from Tampere :-)

This shit can't be real: my gym had went to bankruptcy! I was wondering why key does not open the door. 50000 EUR of unpaid rents was the reason as I googled.

So was a short training. I guess I need to get a new gym membership.
