I sometimes notice that Emacs freezes up when I press a key like d to delete (adding the tag:trashing) for a couple of seconds. It's hard to track down, but I believe that I run into a conflict with a cron job updating the notmuch database, and Emacs waits for the notmuch tag change command to finish, which waits for the cron job to finish.
Does that sound likely? How do y'all debug and improve this?
7️⃣ Here's the 7th installment of my series of posts highlighting key new features of the upcoming v256 release of systemd.
In systemd we put a lot of focus on operating with disk images, specifically file system images that carry an expressive GPT partition table – something that we call DDIs ("Discoverable Disk Images").
@pid_eins the kernel keyring is used to verify integrity, not for authentication. If a malicious image could lead to a kernel exploit, this should require authentication, IMO (equivalent to sudo). E.g., we don't load kernel modules just because they're signed, they have to be installed in a privileged location. Mounting user specified images just because they're signed removes the administrator from the equation.
As far as I'm aware, a compromised signing key still requires physical and/or root access to be useful where here it would allow for privilege escalation. What am I missing?
