@oleksandr I just took the name from struct key for RFC. Did not give it much of thought to be honest... I.e., not something fighting for either :-)

US government’s attack on free speech, science, and research is causing a brain drain

How do you create a brain drain and lose your status as eminent destination for scientists and researchers?

The United States seems to be sending out questionnaires to researchers at universities and research institutes outside of the United States, asking them about their political leanings. Dutch universities are strongly advising Dutch researches not to respond to the questionnaire

Vapriikki (https://www.vapriikki.fi/en/) has e.g.,

1. Most extensive video game museum in Finland.
2. Some other tech stuff like the first ever IRC Server in a glass case ;-)

Great place to visit if around here.

@oceanhaiyang Yeah, I've just randomly stopped using alcohol almost completely before any of this current madness happened. I don't really even know why. Just don't want/care :-) I was never a heavy drinker tho.

I started to go to gym seriously when the year turned. Last 3 weeks has been easy to go there with max two days breaks (sometimes one day, more commonly two) because world is fucked up. I don't really drink these days so it is way flush your head from madness...

If the world heals, my exercise routine will collapse :-)

I started to do my second gym program with the move that I hate the most because it is such a struggle: Bulgarian squat.

I guess that means it does something...

This week Michael Hudson-Doyle of the Foundations team published a write-up of our experimentation with the `-O3` GCC flag by default in the distribution.

The tl;dr is that we don't yet believe that the change makes sense globally, but there are certainly come packages that would benefit from using the increased optimisation level.

See the post here: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/benchmarking-a-distribution-and-some-o3-results/58027

@karppinen I still don't want to spend of my personal money as much as it costs so I review the patches by emulating SGX in my head while looking at Intel SDM :-) Testing is based only on compilation.

I do run final test on NUC7 tho but it does not really give sufficient information whether a feature is actually right.

Let's put the real release notes just for reference, in order not to be misleading.

@oceanhaiyang it still was funny and not being real sort of fits to the overall picture :-)

@oleksandr Yeah, well I'm talking about what exists widely :-)

The solution that AMD and Intel provide is to subscribe to their developer programs and get "cloud access". Or something like this was proposed last time I asked about this.

One working alternative would be to provide full QEMU emulation support (which of course cannot do attestation but that does not matter for kernel).

It's also short sighted business wise as potential startups cannot experiment with the features.

And would not hurt to widely sponsor that hardware for key maintainers too but even availability would be a great starting point.
