  • Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431) is a trivially exploitable logic bug in Linux, reachable on all major distros released in the last 9 years. A small, portable python script gets root on all platforms.

  • wtf

    An unprivileged local user can write 4 controlled bytes into the page cache of any readable file on a Linux system, and use that to gain root.

    If your kernel was built between 2017 and the patch — which covers essentially every mainstream Linux distribution — you're in scope.

    how does that only get a CVE score of 7.8, the impact of this is huge

  • How Long Should a Function Be? (And Why It’s the Wrong Question to Ask)

  • and again, you end up sacrificing readability to address what, a fraction of a percent in memory use? If that matters in your program, maybe don't use JS.

  • How Long Should a Function Be? (And Why It’s the Wrong Question to Ask)

    Jump

  • Agreed, optimize it. Where it matters. Reducing the number of functions to save space on the stack when the heap has 99% of the data is nonsense.

  • this sounds like a pretty bad reason to justify ugly code today

    any readability gain will greatly outweight resources in most situations

  • Gordon Ramsay one of the first celebrity chefs to bring US-style 20% service charge to London

  • and it's not like their customers care that much about price, they could increase their prices by 20% and have just as many people showing up. But nope, they decide to introduce a shameful tipping culture instead.

  • DeepSeek-V4 arrives with near state-of-the-art intelligence at 1/6th the cost of Opus 4.7, GPT-5.5

  • they are open weight and have a whitepaper, that's already vastly better than whatever openai and anthropic are doing

  • Ubuntu's "AI Kill Switch" Is Achieved By Removing Snaps, Initially Opt-In

    Jump

  • it is, but it's initially opt-in; meaning the system won't have AI features, but once it does, you'll remove them by removing snaps

    it's confusing because the paragraphs they talk about opt-in and removing snaps are different, but 26.10 won't ship with AI features in a fresh install.

  • AMD: Ryzen Desktop CPUs Reportedly See a Price Increase of Over 50% in Some Countries

  • Users on annual Pro or Pro+ plans will remain on their existing plan with premium request-based pricing until their plan expires, however, model multipliers will increase on June 1 (see table).

    holy shit, 9x the previous cost. which was already not great. I was on the fence about cancelling it, but thanks for making up my mind, MS

  • ok, to start with, if you need a POSIX interface to the filesystem, you already have an SSH connection to that server, and don't need much stability across multiple clients, SSHFS may do just fine. For a homelab, that is likely the case.

    now, if you're hosting a web server that needs data distributed across drives/nodes, data redundancy, and the usage is primarily programmatic, closer to a CDN's or machine learning pipeline than a single user browsing files; then you want an S3-compatible solution. The S3 API makes it easier to plug it into your application, while allowing you to migrate to a different one - which I'm actually currently doing for a MinIO deployment at work.

  • SSHFS is a hack and has nothing to do with the proposal of S3 compatible backends
