Because I can't attend FOSDEM this year, I wrote down some thoughts about the microkernel community. x86.lol/generic/2025/01/30/m… #fosdem #microkernel

If you are disillusioned by @TheAtlantic's one sided coverage of the war in Gaza/Lebanon, but otherwise enjoy long form journalism, what do you subscribe to? The guardian?

This is a great paper on the status of remote attestation of confidential VMs in public clouds. tl;dr None allow you to verify that you run the OS you think you do. Shoutout to AWS for a reproducible build of their firmware! systex24.github.io/papers/sy… #tdx #sev #aws #azure #gcp

The paper also points out that the cloud controls cloud-init configs, which can do arbitrary things to your VM...

Having grown up in Berlusconi's Italy, I can feel it in my bones that when they win the first time, it's tough, but when they win *again*, after all they've demonstrated, *that's* the really hard one to take

Post-coup Trump being the first Republican to win the popular vote in 20 years is wild

A normal day in Saxony: "Spiegel magazine reported that three of the suspects were politicians who had held local office for the far-right Alternative für Deutschland party."

'Alexander Hamilton endorsed the [electoral college] in 1788, saying [it] guaranteed that a US president would be of “characters pre-eminent for ability and virtue” and not merely adept with “the little arts of popularity”.' 🤣hindustantimes.com/world-new…

From the original
> I truly believe the future of kernels is with memory-safe languages. [...] if Linux doesn't internalize this, I'm afraid some other kernel will do to it what it did to Unix.
This is why I want multi-kernel NixOS. We need to make that threat credible.
I regretfully completely understand Wedson's frustrations.

A subset of C kernel developers just seem determined to make the lives of the Rust maintainers as difficult as possible. They don't see Rust as having value and would rather it just goes away.

If you think the pandemic's over, you're badly wrong.
This is the staff absence rate for the seventh largest employer in the world.
See the consistency of the absence rate leading up to the pandemic...
Look at how it changed in 2020.
And see where it's going *now*.

Given that Puerto Ricans are US citizens this seems extraordinarily dumb. (Is there any reason besides racism that Puerto Ricans in Puerto Rico can't vote for the US president?)

"I don’t know if you know this but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”
The best way to stop these MAGA Republicans is to vote, and make sure Donald Trump loses at the ballot box.

I'm not sure who's right in this legal fight, but the winner is probably RISC-V.
