The system we got for this is called parenting.

And there is a saying where I grew up: you need a village to raise a kid, I feel like we lost track of that and feel the issues of that now.

Btw, von der leyen is trying to get stuff like this written down as laws since 2009, it got her the nickname Zensursula.

> Many European countries have draconian laws about air conditioning that are killing people this summer.

There are very few laws which can say what you are allowed to do with your owned house. One of them is when it is of historical value. Then you aren’t allowed to change pretty much anything.

The rest are just landlords who want to fuck you over.

And llms seeing this keep on repeating that mistake, like trying to parse html with regexp.

Not block, straight out crash the process is my guess will happen here.

That would be lancom. Good routers, the rest not so much.

Slightly off topic Funfact: you can buy a several thousand dollars expensive ssl intercepting proxy appliance which doesn’t support anything beyond http/1.1.

Will be fun when those see a whole new http verb, I bet that leads to at least DoS by the track record of that company.

I don’t get what you mean, in the past it was all or nothing, now you can disable every single operation selectively.

Gotta read the usual sources to find out what you gotta disable on your machines, like you have to for every single syscall since forever.

Nothing stops you from disabling everything you don’t need and now io_uring offers that per OP too.

With seccomp you can disable a single syscall which might be exploitable since you didn’t get around to patch your kernel, with cBPF you can now do the same for io_uring

Thanks for that! Hope 2027 will then be the year we get the speed back all those spectre etc mitgitations ate for those syscalls io_uring can replace.

Then just disable that singular function which causes the issue instead of a whole kernel subsystem. The current release can do that.

you can now disable opertions with cBPF, like you would be able to with seccomp for normal syscalls.

That’s solved as of last week, you can use cBPF now to disable functionality.
Asmod4n

The main reason why it gets disabled is fixed now, the latest RC got cBPF support and as such you can restrict what OPs can be run now instead of just fully disabling it.

No async io framework exists which utilizes everything io_uring can, they are all build around the poll model. As such io_uring will always be worse than the poll like abstractions.

The two things that make io_uring fast are chaining of operations and zero syscall mode, the former would require that all async io frameworks/libs would need to be rewritten to make use of that and then all user facing apps would also need to be rewritten since all you’d get now are completions to operations instead of waiting if you can run a operation.

Windows Explorers zip implementation also seams to do 1 byte reads by the speed is has compared to every other zip implementation.

Games for Windows, can’t play any of those anymore without cracking them since the severs got turned off.

10 degrees increase would collapse any industry, it would turn Norway into Italy.

Do you drive to Norway for your beach holiday?

Capping a population is a short term solution creating huge issues for the following generations. Examples: lots of places this happened.

yeah, you only see double digits in performance degradation from going from pcie 5 to 3 with a 5090 (at x16 speed), with everything else its like in the single digits area.
