@bluca French police were doing similar on a train to Paris, just after leaving... Marseille! I took a photo of this and they confronted me about it, but were friendly after they heard my accent.

Did you know you can watch @KernelRecipes videos already by seeking in the live streams which are currently online?

@robpike @timbray speaking of aged ears, one of the ironies in all of this is finally being able to afford a decent audio system after decades of work only to realize your ears are now kind of crap.

Running make -j32 to build a kernel on my new work workstation. Takes about a minute, in total silence.

@PE4KH we're thinking possibly ship scatter more generally, should work for container ships etc.

@vilmibm people take it for granted now that you can just click on things, but it took decades for the idea to take hold & become ubiquitous. Most of it was utterly awful until the web came along.

Interesting paper: "Enter, Exit, Page Fault, Leak: Testing Isolation Boundaries for Microarchitectural Leaks"

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/enter-exit-page-fault-leak-testing-isolation-boundaries-for-microarchitectural-leaks/

"We found 4 new cross-domain leaks, successfully detected all 6 known leaks possible in the configurations that we tested and reproduced 6 known flaws in patches."

e.g.:

"We discovered a microarchitectural effect on AMD3 that allows an attacker VM to selectively infer any bit from the memory of another VM, provided the victim VM has previously accessed (i.e., cached) this bit. By repeatedly exploiting this effect, the attacker VM could read the victim’s memory one bit at a time, and thus learn the contents of an arbitrary memory range used by the victim. "

4️⃣9️⃣ Here's the 49th post highlighting key new features of the upcoming v258 release of systemd.

One of the key features of systemd from day 1 on is socket activation, i.e. a mechanism where systemd binds sockets on behalf of services, watches them and only activates the services themselves later, possibly only at the moment they are actively used.

This has various benefits, for example reduces ahead of time cost of running a large number of services (which improves boot times).

@Gina yes, or you could replace the wires in that connector with longer ones. Looks like 240v? That is potentially deadly, FYI.
