@msw Oh wow, I'd totally forgotten about Anonymous CVS.

@brauner Need an AI to screen them out, let the bots waste each others time.

@bluca @agowa338 @pid_eins @siosm whatever might you be talking about? 😢

@robpike no way that's an accident.

1️⃣4️⃣ Here's the 14th post highlighting key new features of the upcoming v258 release of systemd. #systemd258

The concept of system credentials has existed since a while in systemd. It allows parameterizing the system (and the services running on it) in a secure and hierarchical way. You can pass them into containers and into VMs, for example via SMBIOS Type #11 vendor strings. While the transport is low-level and firmware compatible, they can reasonably only be consumed in userspace.

@HopelessDemigod it's weird given it already has a GPS, also a similar issue famously on the 9700. These are ideal transverter rigs, so it is difficult to understand the thinking at ICOM.

I've just released mount-insight v0.1 https://gitlab.com/zygoon/mount-insight/-/releases/v0.1

Here's an excerpt from the release notes:

This is the initial release of mount-insight, a tool created to explore and display the data provided by the statmount system call.
Some features are only going to work once Linux 6.15 is released. The code needs to see matching, up-to-date headers for userspace Linux APIs as well.

@jan Happy May Day!

1/n

Oh yeah, I already mentioned this a while ago but I also added support for pidfds in Linux coredumps.

/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern has been extended so userspace can instruct the kernel to install a pidfd for the
crashing process into the usermode helper process, e.g., systemd-coredump.

I released a new version of the #Landlock crate: https://github.com/landlock-lsm/rust-landlock/blob/HEAD/CHANGELOG.md#v042 
We can now easily restrict signal sending and connections to abstract UNIX sockets for #rustlang programs. The documentation and tests have also been improved. Last but not least, a few new features will be useful for the upcoming Landlock configuration format.

Just over a week left to submit your proposals to LSS Europe.

👉 CfP close: Tues 8th May.
