Theo de Raadt and Linus Torvalds are debating mseal(), a variant of OpenBSD's mimmutable() syscall – which might or might not be merged for 6.10, as can be seen from other parts of the discussion:

Welp... Our 9-cup moka cofe maker has broken, so it's time to buy another one.

Any brand you recommend? :blobcatgooglycofecup:

Let's try this! I have a new card game (Everyone Else Thinks This Game Is Awesome) and with the expansion, the cards don't fit in the box it comes with (surprise!)

I am sure, though, that I could replace the plastic separator inside with something that would allow me to fit all of the cards, as the volume is there, it just needs rearrangement.

I can 3D print, or I can go use the laser cutter at work next week. But I'd rather not reinvent it from scratch.

@captainepoch hah yeah, those were names for two kinds of international driving licenses, and which one you need depends on the country you plan to drive in...

Passkeys were hot last year, don’t seem to be catching on, here’s one view of why that is. Dark and sobering but convincing: https://fy.blackhats.net.au/blog/2024-04-26-passkeys-a-shattered-dream/

Listen, I don't want to give legitimacy to audiophiles but let me tell you I can definitely detect when my gaming PC decides to send a stereo stream rather than DTS or 7.1 even though the stream is meant to be just stereo.

vbabka,
@vbabka@social.kernel.org avatar

@flameeyes hm the question is if there's really a quality difference or the receiver behaves differently (volume, eq, etc) depending on the format.

vbabka,
@vbabka@social.kernel.org avatar

@flameeyes apparently Dolby Atmos mixes in e.g. Apple Music are mixed and mastered separately and can thus have better instrument separation and less dynamic compression etc.

@vbabka@social.kernel.org avatar

@hayalci @flameeyes interesting, you mean a difference against Spotify, or what specifically?
I use YouTube music personally, wonder how well that one does...

@hayalci @flameeyes hmm 256kbps should be fine AFAIK https://support.google.com/youtubemusic/answer/9076559?hl=en

This is such a bad bad API compat breakage:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e81cd5a983bb35dabd38ee472cf3fea1c63e0f23

It's used all over the place in userspace. In systemd we use it:

  1. to detect if a block device has partition scanning off or on
  2. In our udev test suite, to validate devices are in order
  3. udev rules use it for some feature checks (in older versions of systemd).

And it's even a frickin documented userspace API:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.5/block/capability.html

So much about that nonsensical "we don't break userspace" kernel mantra.

vbabka,
@vbabka@social.kernel.org avatar

@pid_eins seems nobody yet pointed it out or I missed it. But note the "we don't break userspace" rule doesn't mean it can't ever happen - that would mean no bugs can ever happen as well. What it means is that if it happens and is reported (the sooner the better), it has to be fixed (with some exceptions that I think wouldn't apply here).

Something has been scraping my blog in the last day and I'm getting memory usage alerts for Redis. But the service is still okay for now.

Unfortunately I'm also on vacation (which is why I screwed up some posts' releases clearly.)

Hopefully this won't be jinxing it.

vbabka,
@vbabka@social.kernel.org avatar

@flameeyes vacation explains why you wrote Redis?

vbabka,
@vbabka@social.kernel.org avatar

@flameeyes I meant Redict, assuming it'd be a drop in replacement, but wasn't really serious

@captainepoch hah did you learn this reality bending from @ljs or what. Didn't you see the thread? https://hachyderm.io/@sara/112117125241735836 I wouldn't with that on anyone.

The mm-hotfixes pull request was merged yesterday, including my two fixes for two embarrassing bugs introduced also by myself several/many releases ago. If there's a rc8 instead of 6.8 final tomorrow, you know why...

vbabka,
@vbabka@social.kernel.org avatar

Alright so that didn't result in rc8, so 6.8 is now final, the first kernel since 2.6.16 (March 2006) to have no choice of a slab allocator. And I need a new dead horse to beat.
