<p>Your comment is not constructive, why can't it be trusted?<p>If every user of an LLM took this much care and attention, many people would have fewer issues with LLM assisted coding. In this case the author has demonstrated they can write plenty of code without an LLM, so why not use it carefully to benefit their productivity?</p>

<p>No, it is not affected by the exploit as presented. This is a page cache write, so writing to a binary that root will run later can work too. This isn’t a reason to push an agenda that dislikes setuid binaries.</p>

<p>The style of the blog post, with short, abrupt sentences does not captivate me. I’d like to think someone writing a book has a more interesting writing style. Or maybe LLMs have damaged me and I’m too critical of writing style now, whatever it is this doesn’t sell the book to me.</p>

<p>Microsoft loves sending emails with "Action required" in the subject, when actually no action is required, or it doesn't apply to you, or whatever. Such corporate speak. It's fun searching your email for "Action required" and finding all the things you were supposed to do and it turns out didn't need to do anything about.</p>

<p>Very similar to bittorrent’s bencode. That has the benefit that it has a canonical encoding which this doesn’t (because of the different compression options). I wouldn’t be put off by how it looks as text.</p>

<p>The code is mostly vibe coded and under the BSL. I think the interesting bit here is a single developer can write something like this with an agent. Does it make sense to open source such a thing or just each ISP write their own to their requirements?<p>I also don’t get the focus on handling DHCP renewals in the kernel fast path. With 2000 subscribers per OLT and say a 5 minute lease time that’s only a few renewals a second.</p>

<p>It is not open source, it is not free. It’s a term tacked on to the MIT license.<p>It’s also vague as, what if I run a VPS provider and someone can upload images to a marketplace like thing, does that count as SaaS? How about if someone’s only use of my services is to run that image?<p>Steer clear unless you want to open yourself up to the copyright owners opinion changing. (See for example the pine email client and the copyright discussions there.)</p>

<p>Without sharing too many spoilers... I <i>solved</i> the challenge but the check script was unhappy. The curl commands in the script worked fine, the earlier parts of the script failed, i.e. it didn't like how I'd decided to make that work.<p>This kind of thing annoys me. This is why CTFs are great, where the goal is to get the flag string. Obviously harder to do for sysadmin, but expecting a particular configuration when I managed to make it work without doing things exactly as they wanted is no better than a poorly written exam.</p>

<p>> And netns is for single-host isolation. This is a router forwarding LAN→WAN.   Different problem<p>Not at all. Put the LAN interface in a network namespace that is different to the host (ip link set ... netns ...).<p>This gives you your "kill switch" without even needing firewall rules, it happens on a lower level.</p>
