Man, you really suck


No, they really stink. Have you been to India? Have you been around large groups of Indian men? They smell so bad it's offensive.


Isn't the problem that the vernacular concepts are what counts and they change depending on time and place?


Buddy, I have some bad news about tobacco and alcohol...


Ah, good ol' Riley's law


No, its an upstream bug being discussed in the debian bug tracker


This is a misreading of the bug. It is from upstream stable kernels before 6.5 that include commit 91562895f803 but not 936e114a245b6[1].

In this case Debian's current process is good - it's kernels track kernel.org stable releases. This debian bug is responsibly flagging "for visibility" that a serious bug has been discussed and fixed upstream.

Do you have a link to just the 2 patches (in patch form) that could be before on a kernel tarball to revert these 2 changes?


Linux Virtualization Based Security (LVBS) is an umbrella term under which we can offer various hypervisor backed kernel protection solutions. This is a common hypervisor agnostic extendable architecture in Linux kernel that can be used by any hypervisor to implement and extend Linux kernel protections. Different hypervisor frameworks (Hyper-V as an example of type-1 hypervisor and KVM as an example of type-2 hypervisor) can plug into the common layer to harden the Linux kernel.

Hypervisor-Enforced Kernel Integrity (Heki):

Heki is a proof-of-concept that implements new KVM features (extended page tracking, MBEC support, CR pinning) and defines a new API to protect guest VMs. It is designed to be merged with the mainline project. It is inspired from other private implementations currently in use (e.g. Windows's Virtual Secure Mode), but our approach is tailored to Linux specificities.


what about purchasing power?


Adjusting for inflation is a representation of purchasing power.


Eeeh, better to adjust to the respective minimum wages (if your country had them at both times) or median wages (if not).


I used the BLS's consumer price index -based calculator: https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl

The Federal minimum wage has not changed since 2009, but the CPI captures effects like per-state minimums increasing, less people working minimum wage jobs, etc. No "adjust for inflation" calculation will capture the "pain" that every individual experiences from making a purchase, but this index is pretty close.


The issue with fancier statistics like these, is that they sweep things under the rug : https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/strikes-and-bidenomics


First they came for the Nazis...


That's what happened. People started demanding that Nazis be censored on Myspace. I knew people at the time who were under the impression that being a racist was already illegal in some way, and thought that Myspace not immediately banning all of them made the site an accessory to the crime. The worst part was they seemed to be centering it around me because I was the only black person they knew.
