Based on the great work of Antony Green over at redhat for https://github.com/atgreen/block-copyfail which can block copy.fail on a running kernel without reboot, I pacakged up the bpf into a oneshot systemd service you can install and start on many machines https://nohats.ca/ftp/block-copyfail/

This is why code that takes untrusted input - like daemons - don’t have permissions to write their own config files
Here we go again, it's goin' through our heads
Here we go again, we're all wondering when
Here we go again, it's never gonna end
Here we go again, we're going 'til we're dead
Here we go again
People who dislike NIST KEM because of a Kyber hash() removed from hash(prng(x): use wireguard !
Wireguard: session_id = RDRAND(x)
(Bypassing Linux random pool, twice known to crash kernel because failed hwrng on AMD CPUs) multiple session id’s were all zeroes, putting raw random state onto the wire)
I found Arthur Morgan’s grave! No eagle though so I guess I’m a bad guy
Dan Williams was always kind, especially when people became negative which is too common in opensource. He made the opensource world a better place. Helping his family is the least we can do now.

AI has truly taken over the hype lead from blockchain/bitcoin
As I have said before, relying on badly maintained websites for contact information about badly maintained websites is not really secure or useful. Hacked machines will just change it to not alert the real sysadmins.
I’ve already seen so many outdated or 4x errors in these.
There is value in reaching out through alternative channels (social media, LinkedIn, optrust, dns-oarc, mawk, etc)

Cute even I don’t agree with all of it, the essence of the article stands.
“Toronto's Billy Bishop airport could not currently handle the Challenger 650 jet at full capacity, with its 3,988-foot runway. Recently, Ford said his government plans to take over the City of Toronto's stake in the island airport to expand the runway and allow jets to fly in and out.”
I called it! Ford wanted to change the airport only so his own personal government paid jet could take off from downtown.
The same reason why bike lanes had to be removed - because it slows down Your Highness Fnord II

Interesting story about accidental trust
Did anyone write a copy.fail exploit yet that does the equivalent of initcall_blacklist=algif_aead_init so that it disabled itself on the running kernel? For those of us with large scale amount of running kernels that take time to replace :)
#fedora Anyone up for a quick re-review of a package that accidentally got orphaned that I'm taking back? Been stalled for a week now :/
Willing to counter-review something too :)

This was always going to happen. This is why DNS needs to re-decentralize
Wow - th Gravy Plane ride is over ? I think Trump corruption got so bad, Canadians are finally seeing our own version of utterly corrupt (fake thermen, hotels as casinos, science centre rebuild kickbacks, GreenBelt scam)
I am looking at you, “Best Buy Marketplace” et all.
