I would like to know more about this mechanism BSD implemented in 2001 that prevents this class of issues, that I apparently don’t have available on Linux in 2024.

Also: is it just me or does it feel like it’s always glibc these days.

in reply to mhoye

It's also in FreeBSD: freebsd.org/security/advisorie… So it's not just Linux, and certainly not just glibc, though I suppose musl on Linux might have a mitigation. The thing that prevented the issue in 2001 was only in OpenBSD.

Des médecins d'origine étrangère souhaiteraient quitter les déserts médicaux où ils exercent et où une majorité d'habitants a voté pour l'extrême droite.

I don't begrudge Slack for making this change, but I think this is why loss-leader free plans are evil for many businesses: when the music stops, and you need to cut costs, you end up consigning millions of people's thoughts and words and ideas to ashes.

Is there anyone in the #linuxmobile community with some experience in (or motivation to learn) #openmp (or something similar) who'd be willing to help a bit with a patch of mine for the #libcamera softwareISP? It's an important piece of sw that allows us to use "complex" cameras even when we don't have ISP drivers.

The patch I started already shows promising results on e.g. the #librem5, however I could use some help getting it into a mergable state :)

Israel's current strategy is a recipe for further humanitarian disasters, endless war and the creation of another generation of Palestinians bent on Israel’s destruction. If Israel wants to prevent Hamas from regenerating itself, it should offer the people of Gaza a more positive and hopeful alternative vision of the future. wapo.st/45Ldg1S

the thing that caught my eye was not a single mention in nearly 4 hours of St Mungo's. most other things I've read of that length have at least mentioned or referenced it if not used it as a setting.
