Well folks, I'm on vacation again, and you know I could not resist...
A quick summary of the LSM, SELinux, and audit changes merged during the first part of the Linux v6.14 merge window.

I'd like to announce two new libseccomp releases today: libseccomp v2.5.6 which is a minor maintenance release to the v2.5.z release stream, and libseccomp v2.6.0 which is a new feature release for libseccomp. More details in the link below, but libseccomp v2.6.0 adds support for new architectures, transactional filter updates, and more. Give it a try, you'll like it :)
A giant Soviet telescope looks like a remnant of an older and more advanced civilization.
Its history matches this impression. The Kalyazin RT-64 radio telescope was developed to support communications with robotic missions to Venus and Mars and to prepare for possible manned expeditions to these planets.
The telescope is located near the city of Kalyazin, and still in operation today. Its scientific tasks include deep space communications and astrophysical research.
For the 2 weeks over Christmas + New Year, my work days were meeting-free. I got a lot of stuff done as a result. It was very freeing.
When I returned to a normal schedule this week, a sense of dread accompanied it. I considered why. It was meetings. Specifically, weekly obligatory pro forma have-em-because-they-are-on-the-calendar meetings. No-agenda meetings. The kind often organized by physics collaborations.
My resolutions for 2025: no agenda, no attenda. Only meetings with purpose.
