Wait, does this mean we can „virtualize“ ld.so now? This could finally solve the compatibility issues glibc causes.

The 12 is their convertible, it’s a good couch surfing device but the 13th gen intel i3 really struggles.

But that’s what i wanted, I was looking for a native device to test my apps and libs on to see how they perform on a constrained device.

I got a Ryzen 9 in a desktop when I need speed.

Sysadmin who likes to code in his free time.

I’ve bought my last MacBook Pro in 2015 and replaced it with a framework 12 this year.

All we need to do is to replace all plastics with bio degradable ones. But I guess that will take some time since we don’t have replacements for all petroleum based plastics yet.

Hopefully this will get us recycling friendly plastics for foods in the long run since those just get burned nowadays cause you can’t recycle those we have today for that job.

The system we got for this is called parenting.

And there is a saying where I grew up: you need a village to raise a kid, I feel like we lost track of that and feel the issues of that now.

Btw, von der leyen is trying to get stuff like this written down as laws since 2009, it got her the nickname Zensursula.

It’s been 10 years since we had the last leap second and it looks like we will get the first negative one soonish. Are systems ready for that?

> Many European countries have draconian laws about air conditioning that are killing people this summer.

There are very few laws which can say what you are allowed to do with your owned house. One of them is when it is of historical value. Then you aren’t allowed to change pretty much anything.

The rest are just landlords who want to fuck you over.

And llms seeing this keep on repeating that mistake, like trying to parse html with regexp.

Not block, straight out crash the process is my guess will happen here.

That would be lancom. Good routers, the rest not so much.

Slightly off topic Funfact: you can buy a several thousand dollars expensive ssl intercepting proxy appliance which doesn’t support anything beyond http/1.1.

Will be fun when those see a whole new http verb, I bet that leads to at least DoS by the track record of that company.

I don’t get what you mean, in the past it was all or nothing, now you can disable every single operation selectively.

Gotta read the usual sources to find out what you gotta disable on your machines, like you have to for every single syscall since forever.

Nothing stops you from disabling everything you don’t need and now io_uring offers that per OP too.

With seccomp you can disable a single syscall which might be exploitable since you didn’t get around to patch your kernel, with cBPF you can now do the same for io_uring

Thanks for that! Hope 2027 will then be the year we get the speed back all those spectre etc mitgitations ate for those syscalls io_uring can replace.

Then just disable that singular function which causes the issue instead of a whole kernel subsystem. The current release can do that.

you can now disable opertions with cBPF, like you would be able to with seccomp for normal syscalls.

That’s solved as of last week, you can use cBPF now to disable functionality.
