#Linux got bitten by crypto-related page cache vulnerabilities in recent weeks. They had rather boring names: #CopyFail #DirtyFrag #Fragnesia
The #FreeBSD community is fixing this by naming their own bug of this class #BUMSRAKETE.
(Now, if you ran the name through a translator and are questioning its legitimacy: It's as real as the person that inspired the bug report's style, unfortunately.)
One last Kalimera Show friends shout out ;-)

🎧 Guest Mix No.8! 🎧
This is the last one I had in the can, recorded 2 months ago. The first half is essentially my March 2026 Bandcamp haul. There was so much good stuff released that month! For the second half, I just grabbed tracks from random folders, with "Do the Neurotic" in mind for the ending :-) I hope you enjoy it!

🎧 Guest Mix No.6 🎧
I've got another guest mix out on the Kalimera Show (@inpc)!
Of all my recent mixes, this is the one I'm happiest with. It spans 60 years and many genres, but still feels cohesive (at least to me lol). I had initially planned to close with Frédéric M. Oberland, but just couldn't stop so it's xl. Hope you'll enjoy it too!

I booted up a fresh new Linux server with a standard config, took some code from the example and tried writing to (the page cache of) files I shouldn't be able to, and it worked. Shit's real. On a Friday no less.
And here's another one:
https://github.com/0xdeadbeefnetwork/Copy_Fail2-Electric_Boogaloo
This one is not fixed by f4c50a40, so all current kernels are vulnerable. Looks like mitigation is possible by blocking kernel modules `esp4` + `esp6` here as well (and breaking #IPSec in doing so). Can someone confirm?
Why is it called "Electric Boogaloo"… is this a #DonaldByrd fan? Were they inspired by this week's @thekalimerashow shows??
#privilegeescalation #linux #vulnerability #linuxadmin #sysadmin #exploit #copyfail2 #electricboogaloo
I couldn't find a list of #Linux #kernel versions that include a patch for #copyfail, so I dug into the commit log and made one. Make sure you're using at least the following version of your branch to mitigate against copyfail:
- 7.0-rc7 (any stable 7.x is safe)
- 6.19.12
- 6.18.22
- 6.12.85
- 6.6.137
- 6.1.170
- 5.15.204
- 5.10.254
See https://copy.fail for more info about the #exploit.

The #ISDN stack got removed from the #Linux kernel a few days ago. That's quite the blast from the past. It's what the first ever #software product I built *and* sold was based on, a "unified messaging" server for #email, #fax and #voicemail. It was basically just some #python glue code duct-taping different systems together. But it worked and was used for far too many years by some.

Has anybody else noticed that `:vimgrep` has become really slow in #neovim v0.12 ?
Yeah, I know, no one around here uses #Facebook, #Instagram or #Threads… but what about #WhatsApp? Asking for a friend.

What's next?
I've decided to not post or boost anything about AI or LLMs for a while. I will also be more proactive in making my feed a more enjoyable place again in this regard.
One last thing: behind every decision to use (or hate) AI is a human being with hopes, fears, desires and needs. A human being. Do not forget.
Two things actually: If you're a software craftsperson and feel threatened by the talk of AI peddlers, getting a historical perspective helps:

RE: https://phpc.social/@ramsey/116166215705164760
Exactly this! The speedup is a lie. It's just shifting the work around, making some parts less visible and accumulating more friction in the process. It's great if you just need to cobble something together quickly to survive the next vc round or limp through to the next project. It's bad when you want to build software that lasts. And that's what it all comes down to.

Oh, that's interesting!
> To test this I built gitgres, about 2,000 lines of C implementing the libgit2 git_odb_backend and git_refdb_backend interfaces against #Postgres through libpq, plus 200 lines of PL/pgSQL for the storage functions. libgit2 handles [git plumbing], while the backend reads and writes against the two tables, and a #git remote helper lets you add a Postgres-backed remote to any repo and push or clone with a normal git client that has no idea it’s talking to a #database.
Since it's #BandcampFriday today:
If you like the @thekalimerashow (you do!), show @inpc some love and grab his new EP here:
https://inpc.bandcamp.com/album/its-not-ok-computer
It's "name your price"… so what are you waiting for!! ;-)
Also if you like a particular song from my mix, here's an extended track listing with links to the albums I took it from on #Bandcamp. If you buy one today, all of your money will go directly to the artists:

Oh no! This will lead to a massive #shortage of #Z80 #CPUs this year! We'll be hearing stories of mysterious break-ins where nothing more than a #Commodore #C128 was stolen from the basement game room. It's going to be terrible!
RE: https://mamot.fr/@ploum/115938794778974968
> We often hear Europeans don’t have, like Americans, the "success culture." […] Europeans like success. But they don’t consider "winning against the whole society" as one. They consider success a collective endeavour. […] In the media, success is often reduced to the company size or the founder's bank. Can we just stop equating success with short-term economic growth? What if we used usefulness and longevity? What if success was not privatizing resources but instead contributing to the commons?
One of my favourite #feeds in my #RSS reader is #Wikipedia's "On this day..." #feed. It always includes something curious to read and delivers several deep #rabbitholes per week. Highly recommended!
