I was able to reproduce this issue on kernel 6.12.57+deb13-amd64 running Debian 13 (Trixie), but unable to reproduce it on kernel 6.1.0-42-amd64 running Debian 12 (Bookworm).

For anyone not on the security stream of Debian packages for Bookworm, kernel version 6.1.0-42-amd64 is actually immune to copy.fail. Surprising that it looks to be immune to dirtyfrag. If you haven't already patched on the security stream, you can choose any kernel version that kept commit 2b8bbc64b5c2. I am thinking that the same commit might accidentally be keeping certain Debian 12 kernel versions safe from dirtyfrag as well.

> They don’t leave because, at the end of the day, they can’t allow themselves to risk their acquired prestige, which is another way of saying: they can’t risk losing external validation, the driving force of the prestige industrial complex.

Or they need to maintain their income to continue their lifestyle.

I am not particularly passionate about my job as a sysadmin. I don't hate it, but it would be nice to just spend all day skateboarding or playing Starcraft.

But, I have aging parents to take care of. Housing prices have skyrocketed around me. This is what I need to do to maintain a certain level of security, and indeed luxury, for myself and my close family.

And this isn't weird.

Go back 3-5 generations to when half of the population was employed in agriculture. Was everyone passionate about cows? Potatoes?

The reality is, I have a better shot at following my passion by trying to get into FAANG and working there for 10-20 years so that I can then pursue the things that I am personally passionate about.

I'm actually a customer of Tutanota, and their product has been pretty good in the last ~2 years I've used it.

Short of hosting your own email, I can't think of other email providers as secure as tutanota. They tick off a lot of boxes: open source, hosted in Germany, encrypted mailboxes, DKIM/DMARC support...

The only feature that might give people pause is that their search functionality isn't great. I have pretty low volume of emails to my personal inbox so it doesn't matter, but it might be frustrating to use as a work inbox.
