How does something like Podman handle bind mounts without requiring root?

my favorite scripting language is actually bash and second favorite programming language after C :-)

curl bans “AI” security reports as Zuckberg claims we’ll all have more “AI” friends than real ones

Daniel Stenberg, creator and maintainer of curl, has had enough of the neverending torrent of "AI"-generated security reports the curl project has to deal with.

That's it. I've had it. I'm putting my foot down on this craziness.

Fedora Project (F43 is OUT)

Looking for a new laptop that runs Linux out of the box? Get a ThinkPad!

Lenovo has been offering ThinkPads with Fedora and @ubuntu preinstalled for a few years now. The more people who shop for these devices, the more attention they can give to this business!

Here's an article of someone discovering Lenovo's Linux program: https://news.itsfoss.com/lenovo-cuts-windows-tax/

@ljs I've used BuildRoot for 16 years, to which Bootlin is an active contributor.

When I was a kid, we did not spend time as a family watching Ron Jeremy films 🤷 Not really part of my growth story ...

My "growth story" was more like watching pieces from my friends big brothers German VHS movie collection :---) They were actually quite scary stuff tbh.

In my opinion the title screen for the Mac release of Wizardry was very, very good.

I've done a series that adds support for AF_UNIX sockets in coredumps. Userspace provides an AF_UNIX socket path via core_pattern and the kernel connects to it, shuts down the read side and writes the coredump to the socket.

This means no more super privileged usermode helper upcalls and makes for a very nice API experience. I captured coredumps simply via socat:

https://lore.kernel.org/20250430-work-coredump-socket-v1-0-2faf027dbb47@kernel.org

The receiver can use SO_PEERPIDFD to get a stable handle on the crashed process.

If I was a dictator of this world, I would forbid cameras in phones :-) They net so much more harm than they do good.

i know that i'm doing pretty good in my life if i don't post a lot to social media :-)

this is more like an implication i.e, i might post a lot once in a while and still do well.

@vbabka @hrw Yeah, I moved on to something much more down to earth: enabling first class school experience for kids in Finland, Germany and Switzerland :-) It's a goal I get, and it makes common sense to everyone: https://opinsys.com/contact/. They were also looking a person with the set of kernel skills and contacts I have, so it all ended up well ...

If I was honest, it was all bullshit and made a huge mistake taking that job, and actually getting fired was my favorite moment in that job (not joking). WTF I was thinking. But yep, also contract went down the fucking drain too and I had to hand deliver it myself. LOL. It's really therapy to say this out that I was fucking stupid, i.e. triggers a trauma but it's like when poop comes finally into potty after constipation ;-) I apology the unrelated parts ... and thank you for mentioning (I really do mean this, neither a joke).

@oleksandr I mean people say that tomorrow, if not toda,y AI will be smarter than any of us so should be an easy task really. Not like winning a Nobel price or anything. Just plain basic engineering ...

@oleksandr If AI is so great why ChatGPT just doesn't write a better browser than Chrome?

No need to buy anything ...
