From official advisory at https://security.paloaltonetworks.com/CVE-2024-3400, I smiled to that one:
"If you are unable to apply the Threat Prevention based mitigation at this time, you can still mitigate the impact of this vulnerability by temporarily disabling device telemetry"

How do you get "Jigar Kumar"'s email address?
I can't seem to find it in the (web version of) the maillist.
Another question:
What is the typo exactly in this commit? I can't seem to find it.
https://git.tukaani.org/?p=xz.git;a=commitdiff;h=a100f9111c8...
There's a single dot in a line between #include <sys/prcntl.h> and void my_sandbox(void). It is easy to miss, but makes the compile to fail, thus resulting in HAVE_LINUX_LANDLOCK to be never enabled.
This threat comes up a lot...but I gotta say I HATE HTML emails. Luckily thunderbird converts most of them to a more or less plain text look but the conversion is never truly like plain text. Plain text looks so much nicer...
I think email would be a lot better if plain text were the only format possible.
There are probably cases where plain text email is enough (linux kernel development seems to be doing fine), but once you enter corporate world HTML and all its goodies bring a lot of benefits.
(HTML) "Please have a look at this table (table pasted inline to email) and compare the results with previous run (another table inline)"
(plain text) "Please have a look at attached table (table1.xlsx) and compare the results with previous run (table2.xlsx)"
Sure, both bring the same information but the former gives you all the information immediately.

Dedicated devops/sysadmin looking for a full/part time project where I could help you and your team deliver your project on time.
Location: Poland
Remote: Strongly preferred
Willing to relocate: Yes

Email: 1cgh5iyqr@mozmail.com
As a sysadmin I was hired for various projects, most recently I was a de-facto co-lead of a group of 7 admins - our job was to maintain (with on-call duties) fleet of applications spread over 300 servers making sure it works, troubleshooting and reporting to management when it didn't. The technology stack was a mix of old and new - HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, Windows, Docker, Kubernetes, Weblogic, Wildfly, Tomcat, Java, Python, Shell scripting.
Looking for a job where I could wear my both programmer and sysadmin hats.
Looks like this tries to use better default settings for qemu, which doesn't always have good defaults.
I think that is useful practically, as a learning tool, and as a repository of recommended settings.
this is what we are really missing, something like: "here are 'good enough' cmd line args that you can use to boot $OS with qemu". Quickemu seems to try to help here.

That's a sad news for the Vim community. Given that development was basically focused around Bram, it makes me wonder, what will happen with Vim now?
WIll someone step up and continue to develop Vim, or it will fade away and Neovim take its place?
To be honest I wonder if this ends up being part of some CTF challenge
