@nixCraft@mastodon.social Well, you know, Slackware "comes" with its own church, right? 😏
And in Slackware, it's "slackpkg update && slackpkg upgrade-all", not that heretical command you mentioned 😎

Meanwhile, Slackware sends me an email from their security list when something needs to be upgraded.
Otherwise, I don't really have to interact with their website.
Slackware is so stable I had one instance running at a client's site for 10 years. Yes, I know, not the best practice, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Every time, I see a post about Arch, I sigh. Why fiddle when you can have rock solid stability?
Please explain the attraction to an old man ... ?
@netblocks@mastodon.social Oh, I think they are making their voice heard, quite loudly in fact.
If _you_ cannot hear it, perhaps you need to shut up and actually listen.

@nixCraft I needed that. This morning, I needed that. That is EXACTLY the right attitude. 100%
Thank you for reminding me!

@mttaggart The exploit does not work on my Slackware 15.0 systems with a 5.15.93 kernel.
@nixCraft@mastodon.social Thanks for posting that.
Love me my Slackware, hate to think I'd have to move on from it because of this senseless law.
It sounds like massively over-compensating CYA in the face of the Epstein files, though those victims deserve both reparations and justice. This bill addresses neither.
@Pepijn@mastodon.online No, I haven't but it's ok because my daughter made SURE that I had a ride on a camel. _That's_ an experience!

Well, I love a good "./configure && make && sudo make install" as much as the next guy, but even the remotest possibility of an error message on a terminal screen seems to cause people to have a heart attack.
Software not compiling correctly?! The horror! 😆

Friend, in November 2014, my doctor ordered me to stop reading newspaper, stop watching the news.
That man saved my life.
You know that news is designed to increase anxiety, right?
And BTW, the BBC lies all the time. Wouldn't trust anything they say.
I prefer to get my news from Telesur and CTGN.
Otherwise, all you get is propaganda.
