@cyber_hw I haven't worked for suse in over 11 years :)

@gregkh I was surprised to hear that you’re living in the Netherlands. Not working for suse anymore?

@gnujaos Kernel bug reporting by twitter is _not_ going to really help, sorry, please send email. But note that people are already working on this...

@gregkh Oops in 5.19.17, 6.0.3+ paste.debian.net/plain/1258818 fixed by reverting 2b69f0d4d379 tracing: Add ioctl() to force ring buffer e70c8482c540 tracing: Wake up waiters when tracing f4f15344110d tracing: Wake up ring buffer waiters on

@nerdearla It was a fun talk, thanks for having me!

🔥Un invitado de lujo, @gregkh is in da house 🔥 #nerdearla

3/ There as usual was not even a hint in the release announcement that these new #Linux #kernel releases were fixing any vulnerabilities, just the standard "All users of the […] series must upgrade." advice. If that's news to you, you might want to read kroah.com/log/blog/2018/…

@tivrfoa All of my scripts are online.

@gregkh Are some of your scripts available online?

In which I write a teeny-tiny bit of Go code to make the bash scripts I use for kernel maintenance work a small bit prettier...

@johnregehr This is really cool, great work by the authors!

"Let's put the tool in the kernel!" Seriously, this is cool stuff, great work, and someone needs to forward port KML to a newer release, 4.0 is just too old for new research...

@techdadteddy It's still being published? That book is anything but "fresh", it's quite dated by now :)

Just picked up a fresh paperback thanks @gregkh

@mueslix I am, I love it, thanks for making it!

I think I just stumbled across @gregkh using gum in his kernel scripts 😊 Not gonna lie, I'm a little bit proud of it. github.com/gregkh/gregkh-…

Reminder for #Linux developers: Use a "Cc: stable@..." tag in changes you want to see backported to stable and longterm #kernel series, as a "Fixes" tag is not enough (but nevertheless might do the trick).

@cpatrick2008 @FLOSSWeekly @dsearls @jp_bennett @TWiT sure, invite me :)

@gregkh come on the @FLOSSWeekly with @dsearls & @jp_bennett on the @TWiT network,

@spacenick88 @fagiolinux @fatherlinux @cfkschaller It's as if no one has noticed that Android kernels have a stable internal ABI for drivers, _AND_ still take all upstream LTS releases for the past few years. Stable abi is not valid excuse to not take all upstream updates. {sigh}

@fagiolinux @fatherlinux @cfkschaller @gregkh And that's why it's a spicy question, the stable kernel internal ABI has costs and benefits. In my opinion some costs/benefits matter only depending on the development model, politics and opinions less on technical issues.

Do you consider RHEL a Linux Distro?

@LaF0rge nvme attached through a USB 3 adapter is a very fast storage solution for these types of systems where the flash will not be worn out. Or heck, just use a normal ssd in a USB enclosure, that should be better than using SD.

the various embedded ARM/Linux boards (rpi, etc) all simply don't have enough RAM to build reasonably complex software from tmpfs. And building from SD/SSD is slooow (and wears the flash out quickly).

Assembling/Installing/Exploring a machine with the first "affordable + available" ARM server mainboard: @solid_run HoneyComb LX2 solid-run.com/arm-servers-ne… with 16-core Cortex-A7 (LX2160A) and 64GB DDR4 RAM (as @osmocom aarch64 compile server). Hope to blog about it soon.

My talk a few weeks ago about Trust and the Linux Kernel (going into stuff about the umn.edu incident)

As it's a rainy Sunday in lots of Europe today, why not fill out a developer survey to pass the time: research.net/r/VLP8RST Yes, I know you all get at least one request a week for this, but hey, what's one more, and this one is sponsored by a lot of good .eu groups.

@Kausalitaet @spendergrsec @kees_cook Then perhaps switch distros? Lots of other ones keep up with the stable releases quite well. Upstream has loads of automated regression testing, why do you think we do not?

@gregkh @spendergrsec @kees_cook Not even the Ubuntu Kernel team achieves that, you know? They are lagging in backporting. And upstream is lagging in automated regression testing, especially performance related. I'm just one guy trying to do upgrades and just ask for some help. Guess I won't get it. My bad 😔

@Kausalitaet @spendergrsec @kees_cook If I'm technically correct, then just update each week to the latest stable release and all will be fine, no need to worry about mislabeling anything.

@spendergrsec @kees_cook @gregkh And yes, Greg, I have seen all your talks on Linux security and that we must update and You are technically correct (the best kind of correct), but this all doesn't help in real life, as you know. Please at least label stuff you know about as security relevant, thanks.

@embeddedgus Do people need a monthly reminder of this? :)

"a bug is a bug is a bug"

This box showed up today! Need to "borrow" a monitor from my son's system and get it set up this weekend!
