#Linux #kernel #LinuxKernel

The #Linux #kernel's #CVE team just published their thousandth CVE. 🥳 🙃

This happened 78 days after the effort was announced[1].

Note, 26 of the 1003 CVE entries published so far were later rejected. For details check https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/security/vulns.git/ or https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cve-announce/

on the entire linux #kernel CVE I'm somewhat annoyed about the "no one cares about regressions" issues. like sure it only takes your one specific workload to go boom for a very bad day, and there's so much combinations, but

drm does care

we've added horrendous hacks for obviously never tested userspace code for a new feature that then started blowing when that feature was enabled on more popular drivers. or if hacks cannot autodetect whether they're needed, Kconfig and module options to opt-in

OpenSUSE Leap 16 is coming https://lwn.net/Articles/958319/ #tech #linux

2/ Side note:

Sometimes I think Bikeshedding should be renamed to #Linux-#Kernel-Schedulering.

At the same time I sometimes wonder how much of what lead to that thought is caused by the gatekeepers of the #LinuxKernel's scheduler code and Linus' "one scheduler to rule them all" approach to things.

Security reminder (from the desk of our CTO, @nicolef!)

Today, devices are designed to be cheap, short-lived and disposable. The assumption is that if something you buy breaks, the only solution is to throw it away. Is there another way 🔽 https://puri.sm/posts/beyond-right-to-repair/

... and here's the same from yesterday but on a #librem5.
For some reason #plymouth chokes a little compared to the devkit. Patches are all out there now so everyone can build their own encrypted #PureOS images.

#osk-sdl changes are already merged upstream, thanks @craftyguy
