Posted in Microsoft, Servers at 7:09 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

hackable⦈
Microsoft_update_servers_left_all_Azure_RHEL_instances_hackable (2016)
Summary: Microsoft never cared about security; now that there are very serious
breaches that expose entire nations Microsoft doubles down on the phony
narrative_wherein_Microsoft_protects_users rather than spies on them (with back
doors)
Microsoft is at it again, spreading racism and misinformation. Don’t fall for
it!
As we noted here this morning, Microsoft_and_its_minions_seem_to_be_trying_to
change_the_subject after a very high-profile blunder (Microsoft tries to change
if not invert the narrative with “China”, as_usual). The president resigned
abruptly and despite efforts to change the narrative the mainstream media
(corporate press) habitually mentioned it was a Microsoft failure (despite the
‘casual xenophobia’ from Microsoft).
“Canonical could be called out on its silence here.”“It seems that the major
breach of the hosted e-mail was not only Microsoft’s fault,” one person said,
but it’s rather revealing that they did not notice until federal authorities
forced them to. Now, some weeks after the fact, they are begrudgingly admitting
the problem but distracting from it by offering fake “security” tools [1, 2] as
if security were an after-market add-on. Microsoft is not the answer, it is the
question, to which the answer is, “no!” Linux distros and especially GNU/Linux
distros need to be making hay. Canonical could be called out on its silence
here.
Microsoft is the culprit, not the solution, and what Microsoft now offers boils
down to, “now you can log who takes advantage of Microsoft’s_back_doors…”
This sales/PR stunt may mean there are many cancellations. The layoffs
impacting over 1,000 workers last week (mostly in sales) mean it’s hard to make
sales. As someone (probably from Microsoft) put_it_the_other_day: “Its a plan
that we’ve seen before. US ingenuity to create something substantial like
Azure…check. Make sure it has a solid foothold and large market share…..check.
Run off the US talent and bring in the HB1’s to take their place….in progress
now.”
Azure always sucked, always had little adoption, and there were many layoffs
there (for over 3 years already). Another comment there pointed out that the
recent crises will make it hard to secure new contracts. █

Obvious_Microsoft_Hates_GNU/Linux⠀✐
Posted in Deception, FUD, GNU/Linux, Microsoft at 2:20 am by Dr. Roy
Schestowitz
Feel the love in this week’s “news” (shameless self-promotion and FUD):
🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽⦇Linux_Ransomware_Poses_Significant_Threat_to_Critical
Infrastructure⦈_
Jon Miller
Wait. Who wrote this?
Oh.
🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Microsoft_Gold_Partner_Halcyon⦈_
Though it goes without saying, the Microsofters are writing on topics which
they should be recused from due to conflict of interest.
Summary: Microsoft’s minions have undertaken a FUD task; this like a blatant
effort to shift attention and blame at a time when the whole “clown computing”
ambition of Microsoft is at risk due to a massive security breach (exposing the
United States government while the_president_resigns_abruptly). To be clear,
90%_or_95%_of_the_time_ransomware_is_a_Windows_issue. When they blame “Linux”
they typically speak of some proprietary_VMware_issue or weak_passwords.

✐ Misinformation:_The_Media_is_Already_Turning_Over_1,000_Additional_Microsoft
Layoffs_Into_Just_1,000⠀✐
Posted in Deception, Microsoft at 7:31 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
The original (scoop, leak):
🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Report_on_Microsoft_layoffs:_more_than_1000⦈_
Misleading follow-ups below. OVER 1,000 layoffs noted above in the seminal
report. Almost every site we saw so far says “1,000″, even though the original
said MORE (that can also be 2,000). Examples from hours ago:
🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Report_on_Microsoft_layoffs:_only_1000⦈_
🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Report_on_Microsoft_layoffs:_1000_layoffs⦈_
🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Report_on_Microsoft_layoffs:_1000_a_distortion⦈_
Summary: “Reporters” keep_on_repeating_(parroting)the"10,000"_fictional
figure_from_Microsoft (it_was_vastly_more_than_that; maybe 20,000 or more were
impacted by the layoffs); the “reporting” now continues with a subtle
distortion wherein over 1,000 — i.e. no upper bound, just lower bound — simply
becomes (exactly) 1,000

✐ Windows_Ruining_Firefox_for_GNU/Linux_Users⠀✐
Posted in Free/Libre_Software, GNOME, GNU/Linux, Microsoft, Security, Windows

One of the top crashers on Firefox 115 is Windows_malware_interfering_with
Firefox_in_a_particular_way.
On TechRights IRC, Roy Schestowitz sums it up.
“Many firefox bug fixes are like that. They release security patches (and new
blobs) but they address windows problems.”
I interjected, “Sticking your finger in the holes in the dam.”
Roy continues, “So a gnu/linux user needs to get another 200MB of junk.”
What makes it worse is that Fedora not only has this colossal piece of shit
called GNOME Software that demands a restart, of the entire computer, even over
a Firefox update, but that they stopped producing Delta RPMs so you have to
download the full 200 MB of shit that hasn’t changed, to keep their version
number in sync with Windows.
Roy notes that some of these crap patches for Windows bugs (bugs IN WINDOWS)
cause Firefox to malfunction on Linux and jam up.
Also notes that Mozilla hires “Mac heads instead of software developers.”.
But it’s so much worse than that. They fired 250 people who were working on
Gecko and redirected others to develop adware and spyware and nag screens under
a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Supervisor.
One of my top complaints about the gnome-desktop metapackage (Fedora doesn’t
have meta-packages as such, thank god) in Debian, was I couldn’t apt remove
firefox without it wanting to take out a bunch of other stuff….or install
another shitty browser I didn’t want. Chromium.
Stopping to deal with several hundred MB of RPMs and a third of it is Firefox
playing bullshit version bump because Windows malware makes it crash, is very
very frustrating.
However, in Fedora you can dnf remove firefox. They haven’t managed to bungle
this, although I suppose I should not give them ideas.
Most of the time I’m not on the fastest possible VPN server because I usually
route my Internet connection through European countries where they treat people
fairly well instead of the United States.
They run a lot of ads to try to convince Americans we don’t need VPNs or
private browsing modes, and only a crank doesn’t like Windows (which is
failing), but we know where this advice comes from.
I love operating systems (like Windows and Mac) that get in my way with “code
signing” and then you find out that there’s this Chinese thing that signs
whatever using an expired certificate, fakes the signature timestamp, and then
runs the code.
Then you look at the Time Stamp Authority using Windows Explorer and the fucker
says “Fake Time Stamp”.
It’s barely worth trying to secure your computing practices and then_leave_a
mess_like_this_as_your_operating_system.

“Despite the warning displayed in the digital signature details
above, the cracked driver for PrimoCache still functions properly
when installed on Windows 10. […]
Microsoft, in response to our notification, has blocked all
certificates discussed in this blog post. […]
Microsoft implements and maintains a driver block list within
Windows, although it is focused on vulnerable drivers rather than
malicious ones. As such, this block list should not be solely relied
upon for blocking rootkits or malicious drivers.”
-Talos Intelligence
Since the operating system warns about the tampering and runs it anyway
(allowing it to patch the kernel and become a rootkit), the only way to view
this is “Microsoft wanted to promote ‘security’ and leave a huge gaping
backdoor in for three letter agencies.”
And you notice that nowhere did Microsoft change the policy or actually fix the
issue, they only made it so you can’t use the example certificates that Talos
Intelligence cited.
Windows is a giant festering mess and since Mozilla kowtows and sucks up to
them and spends almost all of their remaining development effort working around
its many glaring design flaws, I don’t want this particular Windows chocolate
in my Linux peanut butter.
Firefox is pretty garbage anyway as a “cross platform” program that’s mainly
focused on Windows.
I strongly prefer to leave GNOME Web in the background while I mainly use
SeaMonkey with sanity-preserving add-ons.
At least the people who work on these projects actually use them and mostly
focus on Linux.
Lately when I open a Mozilla-ish browser it tends to be LibreWolf, from Flatpak
(which has a Delta RPM-like update anyway) and then I grab some videos or
something using video download helper and close it again.
A while back, (I read in the release notes) Mac OS broke SeaMonkey due to yet
another bug in Apple’s kernel, but the problem was confined to….well….whatever
special kind of nutbag uses a Mac and appreciates some of SeaMonkey’s unique
functionality.
Using SeaMonkey productively is starting to require a lot of special knowledge.
One of the reasons I still use Fedora is they start out with a ton of patches
that are out-of-tree and fix some of the roughness.
Ironically, I have to revert back to using GNOME Web or LibreWolf just to edit
my blog since WordPress put some more Googleshit in their editor, which used to
work fine with Web standards.
I also recently went back to paper statements with the electric company (no fee
for that) and told the lady it was because ComEd switched to Microsoft Azure
(corruption, bribery) and now it was putting Google Chrome nonsense and bastard
JavaScript in their site that SeaMonkey simply does not understand.
Things are getting worse, not better. But for email, IRC, and most of my
browsing it works fine.
The tab management code is largely so old it dates back to Firefox 1.5 and 2,
and amusingly it can open and close tabs faster and much more responsively (I
have an eleventh generation Core i7)than Firefox!
There should not be jank in a browser on a system as new as mine, and yet there
is.
The mentality of Google and Mozilla is to just throw more shit in there and
make the pile higher. The more the better.
Then nobody but a “trillion dollar tech company” subsidized by the US spy
agencies can build a browser.
I recently reported the security vulnerability I found on Discover Bank’s Web
site to Mozilla since it seems to be an issue in Gecko that sloppy Javascript
programmers at the bank stumbled into.
I didn’t bother hiding the bug because I believe people should know about these
things.
Here’s_the_bug. Here’s an archived_version in case Mozilla tries to hide it
later.
While they’re off worried about the millions of Windows malwares crashing their
shit, they can’t bother to fix real issues, so we’ll see if this report turns
into ANOTHER Bugzilla ghost town or what. █

# ⚓ Playing_catch_up_text_ball⠀⇛
Several nights ago while laying on my back in bed
en route to falling asleep, meditation upon a bit
of “spiritualish” verbiage preceded (word chosen
over “caused” because I don’t know how/why what
follows happened) several seconds of the absence of
conceptuality, an am-ness sans any representational
aspect, e.g. words, description.
# ⚓ Have_you_seen_something_you_can’t_explain?⠀⇛
I’ve been interested in the paranormal, cryptids,
and unexplained phenomena all my life.
Some of my favorite shows growing up were the
crappy melodramatic paranormal hunting shows like
Ghost Adventures and Finding Bigfoot. I still will
watch an episode here or there, more so Finding
Bigfoot than anything else just as a little comfort
show. I would rent out any books I could find about
sasquatch at my local library growing up, though it
was quite a small selection. For a number of years,
after fifth grade, my interest subsided and I
didn’t give hairy hominids or bumps in the night
much thought. Then I stumbled upon the podcast Jim
Harold’s Campfire, where people call in about
mysterious events that had happened to them. I
loved the show and would listen to peoples’ stories
for hours on end. Now this interest has maintained
into adulthood and if anything seems to be growing
as I get older, though I always thought it would go
away someday.
# ⚓ cuttlefish⠀⇛
last month i spotted a cuttlefish (30 cm) in about
2 m of water; visibility only about 3 m that day.
this week i was fortunate to observe another
cuttlefish in about 1.5 m of water; visibility
about 5 m. the cuttlefish was hanging around a
clump of seaweed, and after a minute or so moved
off. i started to follow but because it was
speeding up i stopped following because i didn’t
want to chase it. live and let live. a few small
fish then came out from the seaweed; safer now that
the cuttlefish had moved on.
o § Politics and World Events⠀➾
# ⚓ Oxymoronistic_tinylog⠀⇛
“…even highly educated persons … continue to put
their trust in media outlets that do not deserve
our trust. … Indeed, it takes temerity to realize
that our own politicians and media lie to us, that
they are purveyors of dis-information and
practitioners of Orwellian doublethink.”
o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾
# § Internet/Gemini⠀➾
# ⚓ Antenna_Instance⠀⇛
So I recently got an antenna instance up and
running, and I’m primarily writing this entry
to ensure it works, and then I’ll add more to
it.
=> =============================================================================
World Wide Web but a lot lighter.

# ⚓ Kubernetes Blog ☛ Spotlight_on_SIG_CLI⠀⇛
In the world of Kubernetes, managing containerized
applications at scale requires powerful and
efficient tools. The command-line interface (CLI)
is an integral part of any developer or operator’s
toolkit, offering a convenient and flexible way to
interact with a Kubernetes cluster.
SIG CLI plays a crucial role in improving the
Kubernetes CLI experience by focusing on the
development and enhancement of kubectl, the primary
command-line tool for Kubernetes.
In this SIG CLI Spotlight, Arpit Agrawal, SIG
ContribEx-Comms team member, talked with Katrina
Verey, Tech Lead & Chair of SIG CLI,and Maciej
Szulik, SIG CLI Batch Lead, about SIG CLI, current
projects, challenges and how anyone can get
involved.

Here’s our verdict on the best free video
converters. They are each published under an open

# ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Non-uniform_CPU_hyperthreading_is
here_and_can_cause_fun_issues⠀⇛
These new GPU machines have Intel i9-13900K CPUs.
Modern higher end Intel desktop CPUs have a split
core model, with a mix of better ‘performance’
cores and more power efficient ‘efficient’ cores.
The ‘efficient’ cores are lower performance and
don’t have hyperthreading. In the case of the i9-
13900K, the split is 8 performance and 16 efficient
cores; with hyperthreading on, you have 8
performance cores, 8 extra logical CPUs from the
hyperthreads on those cores, and then 16 efficient
cores, for a total of 32.

Even in James Edwards’ “The anatomy of visually-

# ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_View_Colored_Man_Pages_in_Linux⠀⇛
In Unix-like operating systems, a man page (in full
manual page) is a documentation for a terminal-

command). It contains the name of the command,
syntax for using it, a description, options

Uptime_in_Linux⠀⇛
Apache is the world’s most popular, cross-platform
HTTP web server that is commonly used in Linux and
Unix platforms to deploy and run web applications
or websites. Importantly, it’s easy to install and
has a simple configuration as well.
In this article, we will show how to check Apache
web server uptime on a Linux system using different
methods/commands explained below.
# ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Use_Man_Pages_Efficiently_in_Linux⠀⇛

As a Linux administrator, you must periodically
check which files and folders are consuming more
disk space. It is very necessary to find
unnecessary junk and free it up from your hard
disk.
This brief tutorial describes how to find the
largest files and folders in the Linux file system
using the du (disk usage) and find commands. If you
want to learn more about these two commands, then
head over to the following articles.
# ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Create_and_Use_Alias_Command_in_Linux⠀⇛
Linux users often need to use one command over and
over again. Typing or copying the same command over
and over again reduces your productivity and
distracts you from what you are supposed to be
doing.
You can save yourself some time by creating aliases
for your most commonly used commands. Aliases are
like custom shortcuts that represent a command (or
set of commands) that can be executed with or
without custom options. Chances are you are already
using aliases on your Linux system without even
knowing it.

# ⚓ Red Hat ☛ New_Delve_features_in_RHEL_9.2⠀⇛
Delve, the Go debugger, ships with the go-toolset
package in Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux (RHEL). The go-
toolset package in RHEL 9.2 contains Delve version
1.9.1, which contains many improvements and
features.
Delve 1.9.1 is also the last release to contain the
old versioning scheme; new releases of Delve will
mirror the corresponding Go release . versioning,
only diverging for point releases. So, for example,
the latest release of Delve is 1.20.x which
corresponds to the 1.20.x release of Go. Delve
releases a new minor version when the Go project
releases a new version’s first RC (Release
Candidate). Once that version of Go is released in
RHEL, the corresponding version of Delve is also
released.
# ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_balance_per-CPU_upcall_dispatch_mode_in
Open_vSwitch⠀⇛
Open vSwitch has moved away from using per-vport
dispatch mode to using per-CPU dispatch mode. But
this mode had issues with upcall handler thread
imbalance and CPU mismatch error messages. These
issues were mostly found in systems with tuned
CPUs.
This article explains two main fixes that my patch
series applied to Open vSwitch that alleviated
these issues. The first fix resulted in the ovs-
vswitchd sending an array of a size that the Open
vSwitch kernel module will accept and not trigger
the CPU mismatch error message. The second fix
added additional upcall handler threads in cases of
tuned CPUs to create a more balanced workload for
the upcall handler threads.

# ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_retrieve_packet_drop_reasons_in_the_Linux
kernel⠀⇛
Understanding why a packet drops in the Linux
kernel is not always easy. The networking stack is
wide and reasons to refuse a given packet are
multiple and include invalid data from a protocol,
firewall rules, wrong checksum, full queues, qdisc
or XDP actions, and many more reasons. It is
possible to look at indicators such as MIB counters
and statistic counters, but often those are generic
and triggered for different reasons, but most
importantly their coverage is small, and it’s
impossible to match a specific packet to a given
counter increase.

robotic arm designed for NVIDIA Jetson Nano offers
a lower cost alternative as the 6 DoF robot arm
sells for about $289 with a VGA camera, or $481
with the Jetson Nano SBC included. We previously
published a review of the myCobot 280 Pi robotic
arm from Elephant Robotics, and while it’s working
well, supports computer vision through the
Raspberry Pi, and is nicely packaged, it sells for
around $800 and up depending on the accessories,
and one reader complained the “price tag is still
way too high for exploration“.

Back when I wrote about how the mere ‘presence’ of
a URL on a web server wasn’t a good signal, I
casually mentioned that you were more likely to
have everything answered with a HTTP 200 status on
things that weren’t really ‘web servers’ as such,
but which were just using HTTP. You might ask why
you’d use HTTP if you weren’t a web server, and the
answer is straightforward and widely known: HTTP
has become the de facto default communication
protocol. Today, if you need to create a system
where you pull some information from something or
push some information to something, you’re most
likely to use HTTP for this purpose. In the
process, the software may be coded in such a way
that it provides a default answer to nearly
everything.

Roy notes that some of these crap patches for

malfunction on Linux and jam up.
Also notes that Mozilla hires “Mac heads instead of

Mozilla is one of the most important

Perhaps you may have heard people refer to Haskell

could call a “total language”. By default functions
are considered “total” 1, and are only allowed to
operate on their inputs, and produce outputs. In
Koka if you want to write a “pure” function, you
write a function which makes use of the exn effect
(“may throw exceptions”) and div effect (“may

The size of the shrine at Tiel, about 50 kilometers

months ago that the largest of the mounds they had
uncovered was a solar calendar. About 20 meters in
diameter, a trench had been dug around it with
openings through which the sun entered on specific
dates of the year, as at Stonehenge. “For example,
the sun’s rays would mark June 21, the summer
solstice, and the longest day of the year. Or
December 21, the winter solstice and the shortest
day,” explains archaeologist Cristian van der

the points of innovation we didn’t even bring up is
that the pop-top lid is brilliant because it’s
obvious it hasn’t been tampered with. Problem is,
that design doesn’t work for every product sold in

# ⚓ El País ☛ Encryption,_80_years_after_the_Enigma
machine⠀⇛
Although the Enigma machine used
polyalphabetic substitution encryption, it
represented a significant advancement
compared to classical polyalphabetic
techniques. It used an electromechanical
rotor mechanism that scrambled the 26 letters
of the alphabet. In typical use, one person
enters text on the Enigma’s keyboard and
another person writes down which of the 26
lights above the keyboard is illuminated at
each key press. The illuminated letters are
the ciphertext. Entering ciphertext on the
keyboard transforms it back into readable
text. The intricate rotor mechanism enabled
the use of an enormous number of different
rules, making it extremely difficult to crack
the code, which is only possible if the
initial machine configuration is known. But
small system issues, combined with several
years of hard work, mathematical and
computational advancements, and a dose of
luck, ultimately cracked the Enigma code.
One weakness of Enigma was the need to
distribute machine configuration information
(or keys) in advance, which carried the risk
of potential interception. The challenge of
securely exchanging keys was the next
cryptography problem to address for enhanced
system resilience. The solution came in the
1970s with the Diffie-Hellman key exchange
protocol.

After changing its top leadership and merging its
Swedish and Norwegian production units, Viaplay,
the listed Scandinavian streamer, has announced
that it will lay off 25% of its workforce as it
plans to focus on its core Nordic and Dutch
business, as well as sports and international
distribution. Approximately 450 jobs will be axed
as part of the layoff plan.
Filippa Wallestam, chief commercial officer for the
Nordics, is departing the org. Wallestam has been a
leading force behind the streamer’s output in
ambitious scripted originals, including the
banner’s dive in English-language content. Viaplay
will not be totally pulling out of originals but
will be focusing on Nordic unscripted originals.
Going forward, the streamer intends on delivering
approximated 10 scripted Viaplay series or movies
per year, as per the outline of the content plan
for 2024. It’s a massive reduction from the
previous output which included at least 40 original
productions per year.

COVID-19 misinformation has been coming at me

it seems like only yesterday that I was
addressing the resurrection and repurposing
of an old antivax claim that SV40 had
contaminated COVID-19 vaccines, making them
carcinogenic. It wasn’t, though. It was well
over a month and a half ago. As you might
recall, at the time an microbiologist turned
COVID-19 conspiracy theorist named Kevin
McKernan had, either cluelessly or
intentionally, confused simian virus-40
(SV40) that had contaminated live attenuated
virus polio vaccines 60 years ago, leading to
an old antivax claim that polio vaccines
cause cancer with the SV40 promoter, a DNA
element from the virus that, when in front of
a gene, can stimulate cells to make a lot of
that gene’s product, and then fear mongered
about it. As I said at the time, it was
almost as though McKernan, his background in
microbiology and (apparently) genomics
notwithstanding, either did not know the
difference between a promoter sequence and an
actual gene or, more likely, knew the
difference but also knew that his audience
didn’t know the difference but was aware of
the polio vaccine/SV40 story.

Jordan’s intelligence services have long had a

February of this year was one of the first signs
that they dared to take such harsh measures against
activists living abroad. And he was not alone. DAWN
has uncovered at least 10 other cases just this
year of transnational repression by Jordan’s
General Intelligence Directorate (GID), which
directly reports to King Abdullah II, one of
America’s closest allies in the Middle East. The
GID, which has a dedicated division to spy on
Jordanians, has been harassing, intimidating and
punishing activists abroad, whose numbers in exile
have increased in the face of the country’s
spiraling domestic repression. Hundreds of
teachers, journalists, academics, lawyers and even
truck drivers who protested against corruption and
government mismanagement have been arrested in
recent years. Jordanians abroad thought they had
found freedom and space to advocate for change in
the kingdom and establish democracy and human
rights organizations like the Gathering of Jordan’s

I want to start this post by saying how sorry I am
to hear about the struggles Gary and his family
have been having of late. I send nothing but love
and support. It sounds trite, but I genuinely mean
when I say that Gary is good civ. I hope things
pick up soon, because good people deserve good
things. ♡
Catching up on some of his videos (which you should
all watch and subscribed to!), I remembered he
recently discussed the state of the Linux desktop.
He mentioned an angle I hadn’t considered before.

# ⚓ Simon Ser ☛ Simon_Ser:_Status_update,_July_2023⠀⇛
As usual, this month has been rich in Wayland-
related activities. Rose has continued building and
upstreaming better frame scheduling infrastructure
for wlroots, you can read more on her_blog. I’ve
resurrected an_old_patch to make wlroots behave
better when the GPU is under high load. In my
testing this improves latency a lot some specific
scenarios and some specific hardware, but doesn’t
help on some others. It’s not super clear if
anything can be done about this, it may be that we
are hitting some hardware limitations here: GPUs
don’t know how to preempt tasks very well.
I’ve also started working on explicit
synchronization again. This was previously blocked
on a hard problem: drivers may want to use a new
kind of synchronization fence primitive (user-space
memory fences) and it wasn’t clear how the current
primitives (drm_syncobj) would hold up. We’ve been
talking about this new primitive for a few years
but unfortunately it’s a complicated matter and
nothing new has surfaced. However, after discussing
with Daniel Vetter, we’ve come to the conclusion
that the kernel will provide backwards
compatibility for drm_syncobj, so we can just stop
worrying and use that as the basis for explicit
synchronization protocols and implementations.
Moreover, NVIDIA engineers are interested in
helping with this effort, so I hope we can keep the
momentum and join forces to push the new protocol,
APIs and implementations to the finish line.

# ⚓ Shirish_Agarwal:_RISC-V,_Chips_Act,_Burning_of_Books,
Manipur⠀⇛
While I didn’t want to, a part of me is hyped about
this motherboard. This would probably be launched
somewhere in November. There are obvious issues in
this, the first being unlike regular motherboards
you wouldn’t be upgrade as you would do.You can’t
upgrade your memory, can’t upgrade the CPU
(although new versions of instructions could be
uploaded, similar to BIOS updates) but as the
hardware is integrated (the quad-core SiFive
Performance P550 core complex) it would really
depend. If the final pricing is around INR 4-5k
then it may be able to sell handsomely provided
there are people to push and provide support around
it. A 500 GB or 1 TB SSD coupled with it and a
cheap display unit and you could use it anywhere
although as the name says it’s more for tinkering
as the name suggests.
Another board that could perhaps be of more
immediate use would be the beagleboard. They
launched the same couple of days back and called it
Beagle_V-Ahead. Again, costs are going to be a
concern. Just a year before the pandemic the
Beagleboard Black (BB) used to cost in the sub 4k
range, today it costs 8k+ for the end_user, more
than twice the price. How much Brexit is to be
blamed for this and how much the Indian customs we
would never know. The RS Group that is behind that
shop is head-quartered in the UK.

was not enough information about those. The
specifications for the Neu6 are still wrong (e.g.
“64-bit processor with 4x Cortex-A7 core”) at the

Around 50 Activision Blizzard employees have been laid off from
the eSports team, causing some speculation about the division
moving forward. The Overwatch League has been hit by recent
changes, and the latest Activision Blizzard layoffs could play
a role in the future of the popular eSports competition scene.
Overwatch 2′s launch received a mixed reception due to the many
changes that the live-service game made to the original
formula. Although the Overwatch League has faded in popularity
compared to its standing during the first game, some fans still
follow their favorite teams and anticipate each eSports match.
With Activision Blizzard looking to amend the Overwatch League
agreement terms around the same time as these layoffs, the two
may be related.

with older microcontrollers without built-in hardware security
features, etc… There have been industry efforts to solve this
such as the Arm PSA initiative, as well as regulations to
prevent default usernames/passwords in new devices, but nothing
about IoT security that can help a consumer find out if a
device is supposed to be secure or not.

There is nevertheless some circumstantial evidence to
corroborate these reports: namely, videos and photos
showing that the blasts hit the underside of the bridge’s

earlier that captured six unknown vessels, five of which
were headed east, roughly 75 kilometers (almost 47 miles)
from Snake Island. When the satellite overhead
photographed these ships, they were about 520 kilometers
(almost 325 miles) away from the bridge. Beyond this

* § Copyrights⠀➾
o ⚓ Dennis Crouch/Patently-O ☛ A_National_Right_of_Publicity:_the
Federal_Anti-Impersonation_Right_(FAIR)⠀⇛
Intellectual property rights in the U.S. have long been a
mix of state common law rights and federal statutory
rights. Patents and copyrights were established in the
Constitution and enacted by the First Congress in 1790.
Those rights were fairly quickly established as
exclusively federal, meaning that there is effectively no
patents or copyrights offered by individual states.
Trademarks and trade secrets followed a different path –
developing under state common law before later later
gaining federal protections; with trade secrets moving
federal most recently via the Defend Trade Secrets Act
(DTSA) of 2016. Unlike patent and copyright, trademarks
and trade secrets continue to be concurrent and
overlapping, meaning that state rights continue to exist
and be enforceable alongside the federal right. It is
common for litigation to assert both. With trademark
law, the federal right has been around since 1870 and
today occupies most of the space. Because the federal
trade secrecy right is so new (and no registration is
available), it is still unclear whether we’ll see the
same result.
o ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Stop_Rushing_To_Copyright_As_A_Tool_To_‘Solve’_The
Problems_Of_AI⠀⇛
A few months back, I got added to a group chat of
Hollywood writers/actors/directors, all seeking to
understand what the fuck was going on with AI. And one
topic that came up consistently early on was “will
copyright protect us” and, if not, “how can copyright be
changed to better protect us?” I’ve already made it clear
that I’m skeptical of the various copyright lawsuits
against AI companies, claiming that the training of their
LLMs violated copyright law. While there are some
arguments against it, it seems to me that training is the
equivalent of learning from, and we’d never say that
reading a book and learning from it violates copyright
law. Similarly, various lawsuits about search engines and
book scanning suggest a (correct) recognition that
scanning copyright covered works to create new (even
commercial) products is fair use.

# ⚓ Beta News ☛ Framework_Laptop_16_now_available_for_pre-order
with_Windows_11_or_Linux⠀⇛
The highly-anticipated Framework Laptop 16 is now
available for pre-order, bringing desktop PC-level
customization to a portable device. The sleek
notebook is powered by the latest AMD Ryzen CPUs
and Radeon GPUs and offers a remarkable degree of
upgradability and repairability.
o § Kernel Space⠀➾
# ⚓ LWN ☛ The_FUSE_BPF_filesystem>⠀⇛
The Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) framework can be
used to create a “stacked” filesystem, where the
FUSE piece adds specialized functionality (e.g.
reporting different file metadata) atop an
underlying kernel filesystem. The performance of
such filesystems leaves a lot to be desired,
however, so the FUSE BPF filesystem has been
proposed to try to improve the performance to be
close to that of the underlying native filesystem.
It came up in the context of a session on FUSE
passthrough earlier in the 2023 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory-Management and BPF Summit, but
the details of FUSE BPF were more fully described
by Daniel Rosenberg in a combined filesystem and
BPF session on the final day of the summit.
Rosenberg said that he wanted to introduce the
filesystem, describe its current status, and
discuss some of the open questions with regard to
future plans for it. The goal is for a stacked FUSE
filesystem to come as close to the native
filesystem’s performance as the FUSE BPF developers
can get. In addition, they want to keep “all of the
nice ease-of-use of FUSE”, with its “defined entry
points”; the idea is to keep the interface “similar
to what you would see from the FUSE daemon”.
# ⚓ LWN ☛ Large_folios_for_anonymous_memory⠀⇛
The transition to folios has transformed the
memory-management subsystem in a number of ways,
but has also resulted in a lot of code churn that
has not been welcomed by all developers. As this
work proceeds, though, some of the benefits from it
are beginning to become clear. One example may well
be in the handling of anonymous memory, as can be
seen in a pair of patch sets from Ryan Roberts.
The initial Linux kernel release used 4KB pages on
systems whose total memory size was measured in
megabytes — and a rather small number of megabytes
at that. Since then, installed-memory sizes have
grown by a few orders of magnitude or so, but the
4KB page size remains mostly unchanged. So the
kernel has to manage far more pages than it once
did; that leads to more memory used for tracking,
longer lists to scan, and more page faults to
handle. In many ways, a 4KB page size is far too
small for contemporary systems.
# ⚓ LWN ☛ A_pair_of_workqueue_improvements⠀⇛
Over the years, the kernel has developed a number
of deferred-execution mechanisms to take care of
work that cannot be done immediately. For many (or
most) needs, the workqueue subsystem is the tool
that developers reach for first. Workqueues took
their current form over a dozen years ago, but that
does not mean that there are not improvements to be
made. Two sets of patches from Tejun Heo show the
pressures being felt by the workqueue subsystem and
the solutions that are being tried — with varying
degrees of success.
In normal usage, each subsystem creates its own
workqueue (with alloc_workqueue()) to hold work
items. When kernel code needs to defer a task, it
can fill in a work_struct structure with the
address of a function to call and some data to pass
to that call. That structure can be passed, along
with the target workqueue, to a function like
queue_work(), and the workqueue mechanism will call
the function at some future time. The call is made
in process context, meaning that work items can
block if need be. There is, of course, a long list
of variants to queue_work(), and a number of ways
in which workqueues themselves can be created, but
the core functionality — call a function in process
at a later time — remains the same.
# ⚓ LWN ☛ The_rest_of_the_6.5_merge_window⠀⇛
Linus Torvalds released 6.5-rc1 and closed the
merge window for this development cycle on July 9.
By that point, 11,730 non-merge changesets had been
pulled into the mainline for 6.5; over 7,700 of
those were pulled after the first-half merge-window
summary was written. The second half of the merge
window saw a lot of code coming into the mainline
and a long list of significant changes.
# ⚓ LWN ☛ BPF_iterators_for_filesystems⠀⇛
In the first of two combined BPF and filesystem
sessions at the 2023 Linux Storage, Filesystem,
Memory-Management and BPF Summit, Hou Tao
introduced his BPF iterators for filesystem
information. Iterators for BPF are a relatively
recent addition to the BPF landscape; they help BPF
programs step through kernel data structures in a
loop-like manner, but without running afoul of the
BPF verifier, which is notoriously hard to convince
about loops.
In his remote presentation, Tao began with a quick
overview of BPF iterators. They allow users to
write a special type of BPF program that can step
through kernel data structures in ways that would
normally be handled with loops; instead, the BPF
program contains callbacks that are made from the
kernel in response to user-space reads of pinned
BPF files. The callback is made for each new kernel
object encountered in the data structure; the code
in the callback can then present information from
the object to user space in whatever format the
developer wants.
# ⚓ LWN ☛ Testing_for_storage_and_filesystems⠀⇛
The kdevops kernel-testing framework has come up at
several earlier summits, including in two separate
sessions at last year’s event. Testing kernel
filesystems and the block layer, not to mention
lots of other kernel subsystems, has become
increasingly important over time. So it was no
surprise that Luis Chamberlain led a combined
storage and filesystem session at the 2023 Linux
Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management and BPF
Summit to talk more about testing, the resources
needed for it, and what can be done to improve it.
It was the final session for this year’s summit, so
this article completes our coverage.

# ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ 5_Powerful_Linux_Tools_to_Discover_Subdomains
as_an_Ethical_Hacker⠀⇛
When it comes to web penetration testing, an
essential aspect of the reconnaissance stage is the
discovery of subdomains. Before diving into the
actual pentesting, it’s crucial to enumerate
subdomains to gain a better understanding of the
project’s scope.
You never know what interesting domains you might
stumble upon that could uncover significant
vulnerabilities. Here we’ll explore some fantastic
free Linux tools that can assist you in this
subdomain enumeration process. So let’s dive in and
discover these resources that can enhance your web

# ⚓ Linux Links ☛ 8_Excellent_Free_and_Open_Source_Mind_Mapping
Software⠀⇛
Mind mapping is a fairly free flowing concept. This
means you need software that is versatile, and can
adapt to your requirements. Your idea of a neat and
tidy mind map might be another person’s idea of
bamboozling. A map can concentrate very complex
content in a small space such as a piece of paper.
It helps to use both sides of your brain: the
logical side and also the creative side. It’s a
technique to help organize the way you think and
stimulate your creativity: It can help you by
developing, sorting and helping to memorize your
ideas.
Mind mapping software therefore offers an excellent
way of capturing your thoughts in a structured way,
brainstorming new ideas. Move away from simple
lists, and use this software to link ideas in
different ways. By thinking creatively, not
linearly, we can seize on our big ideas.
In more advanced forms, mind mapping software can
also be used to describe complex structures and
concepts so an entire team can better understand
them.

and get the job done with just a few commands.
Unlike other package managers, Snap has good
dependency management attributes. But there is a
caveat, Snap packages tend to be very bulky and
consume a lot of disk space. Fortunately, it’s easy
to clean up Snap packages on Linux.
# ⚓ How_to_Use_Linux_on_Chromebook_[Guide]⠀⇛
Chromebooks, known for their lightweight design and
cloud-centric approach, have gained immense
popularity due to their user-friendly interface and
seamless integration with Google applications.
However, some users crave more advanced software

team has finally put Linux players at ease.
For weeks now, Battlebit Remastered has been
prepping to push an update that moves the game from
Easy Anti-Cheat to FACEIT, an anti-cheat software
best known in Counter-Strike circles.
The move would have ended support for the Battlebit
Remastered on the Steam Deck and Linux, which

# ⚓ GNOME ☛ Christian_Hergert:_GListModel_as_a_file

One of the things I’ve done this cycle
leading up to GNOME 45 is some rework on how

wanted to really push the GListModel
interface in GTK 4.
That is a tall order at first sight because
Sysprof capture files easily have hundreds of
thousands of data frames. To create an object
for each would be an enormous amount of
overhead.
However, GListModel allows you to create
objects on demand, which means you only need
to create them as necessary.

Amendment barred public schools from forcing
students to salute the American flag at assembly

# ⚓ Is_Systemd-free_really_for_me?⠀⇛
I’ve been running Systemd-free distros for the past
few years.
When I first got into Linux in 2016, it seemed like
all the “cool” Linux people used Systemd-free
distros and hated on Systemd, but now it seems like
this group is not held in the same esteem as they
once were. More frequently I hear people more so
making fun of this mentality and seeing it as
overly dogmatic. By the time I had started using
Linux Systemd was already ubiquitous so I ended up
learning it in the process of learning how to use
Linux.
When I first tried out Void, I remember trying to
start sshd and being utterly baffled when I got the
message “command not found: systemctl” since on
every other distro I had used, that was the way you
started things. It wasn’t until then that I finally
understood really what Systemd was.
I really like Void, it’s certainly a bit less
polished than others like Arch, and I wish there
was a more standardized package naming convention,
but nevertheless I find myself switching back to it
every few months whenever I leave. It uses runit,
its own init system which is probably as close to
bare bones as you can get. Each “service” is made
up of a directory with at least a shell script to
start it, with additional scripts for other
functionality. To enable a “service” you sym-link
it to /var/run/runit and to disable a service you
delete the sym-link. If all you are doing is
enabling a few daemons like ssh and tlp, this makes
the process very easy.
# ⚓ A_New_Firefox_Workflow⠀⇛
It feels like the web has really changed a lot over
the past decades, but innovation in web browser
workflows has been stagnant by comparison. For the
most part everyone is still just doing the address
bar and horizontal tab list at the top of their
screen, and it’s only been fairly recently that
some browsers like Vivaldi and even Edge have
started experimenting beyond that.
I gave Vivaldi a try yesterday and really liked it.
I had it set up with a vertical tab bar on the left
and a side panel with various bookmarks at the
right, a setup that I think makes a lot of sense
since I can sometimes end up with dozens of tabs.
Hardly any websites make full use of the available
screen width anyway. I almost stuck with Vivaldi,
but a couple obscure bugs with keyboard shortcuts
had me coming back to Firefox in the end.

-n” can be replaced with tally(1), which will be a
little bit faster, or 158% by one random benchmark.
tally(1) got itself written because “sort | uniq -
c | sort -n” came up a lot when doing log searches.
# ⚓ Maybe_MacOS_Isn’t_That_Bad?⠀⇛
