16·7 days agoI’m not the person you replied to, but I would love to have more ARM hardware for running tests on. A lot of what I write needs to be separately tested on each architecture.

Also I think the author in this case seems to have been pretty reasonable about what they did. If more of these issues were done this way I wouldn’t have nearly as much irritation about “branded bugs.”
Even the Framework 12 is bigger than I’d like.
Why does it seem to be impossible to find smol laptops these days?

Even then, some of the upstream LTS kernels didn’t get the patch until the 30th.
Person A: Red Hat has massive US military contracts for autonomous weapons that are being used against Iran!
Person B: Yeah but they have IBM’s infrastructure too
Person C: There’s this much smaller company that we might be able to take down. They’re in the same industry.
Person A: Do it!
Person B: But do they have and military contracts like that?
Person A: SHUT UP I SAID DDOS THEM
Typically they use archive.ubuntu.com, which was not affected.
The people who found the vulnerability didn’t do proper coordinated disclosure. See: https://infosec.exchange/@wdormann/116489443704631952
Not true. None of the major distros were alerted and Ubuntu, Debian, RHEL, etc. were all struggling at the last minute. See: https://infosec.exchange/@wdormann/116489443704631952
However, none of those DDoS’s took out the archive servers, so Ubuntu users could still get new kernels.
The other LTS kernels didn’t get it until yesterday, and this thread has some good info about why: https://infosec.exchange/@wdormann/116489443704631952
This thread gives a good rundown of what happened: https://infosec.exchange/@wdormann/116489443704631952
Yes, both.
The architecture is really varied. You can get super cheap SoCs that are barely capable of running FreeRTOS, and you can get 100+ core beasts with EFI, PCIe, etc.
Shhhh… No facts, only hate
2·16 days agoWhy does Google Forms look like Microsoft Teams?
I’m pretty sure Microsoft has more people working on Linux stuff than Canonical has total employees.
1·19 days agoI thought X was the everything app?
Some Canonical employees are working on it but it’s not originally a Canonical project.
They have been trying to work with the Flatpak people to make it a standard everyone could share. After half a decade of frustration I think they just gave up and decided to do it themselves.
