  1. your reminder that templeOS was never vibe coded :PhosCool:

  2. Linux malware from scratch: understand the OS, write better malware.

    After almost a year of teaching cyber security, I've realised how much it matters to actually make sense to beginners: to teach what they need, not waste time on trivia, and not skip the blockers that stall their progress.

    I just published the first post of my "Linux C2 from Scratch" series.

    Most Linux content hands you a reverse-shell one-liner and stops. The textbooks copy each other and never explain the things that actually confuse beginners. This is the opposite: plain English, from the ground up, everything you need for a solid foundation in Linux malware research.

    Lesson 0 walks through the stuff people nod along to without really understanding:

    • what a process is, why memory is virtual, and what a page actually is
    • W^X, and the write-then-execute dance every in-memory loader does
    • machine code vs bytecode, VMs vs JITs, and why your Java process has executable anonymous pages too
    • syscalls: the ABI, the vDSO, and why indirect syscalls only defeat the lazy check
    • libc is not the OS: glibc vs CRT, and why Go agents are 10MB+
    • TLS: don't ship a stack, borrow the system's, and why that fixes your fingerprint too
    • ELF, and how a stager runs code without a loader

    The theme: on Windows the OS hands you a stable API for almost everything, so tiny malware is easy. Linux does not, and that is the whole challenge. Know the OS and you stop fighting it.

    For anyone who wants to learn Linux internals and malware development, I hope this short course helps.

  3. 🐧 SIGINT // Linux Watch — 2026-10-17

    A networking-stack bug let a guest VM jump the fence to the host — patch your hypervisors before someone's 'isolated' tenant starts poking around your homelab's real filesystem.

  4. Wait does this mean that Linus didn’t review his own vibe code? If he’s too fucking lazy to do it he can’t realistically expect other contributors to do so.

    What a fucking tool that guy is.

  5. « Linux creator and longtime lead maintainer Linus Torvalds turned to Anthropic’s Claude Code to tackle a kernel performance problem that developers have struggled with for more than two years. On Tuesday, he submitted a 10-patch series that delivered a 23-fold throughput improvement in a synthetic benchmark running on his Ryzen Threadripper.
    […]
    Reviewers have since identified a race condition and raised concerns about memory reclamation. Torvalds has handed further development to Kiryl Shutsemau, a Linux kernel developer who previously worked on the same bottleneck. »

    "Here's 10 PRs of workslop, someone else go fix it."

    « Torvalds said the assistant wrote the implementation, tests, and initial documentation, and reviewed the code under his direction. »

    So apparently he's already given up on "I'm reviewing all the code".

  6. It's taken several hours and it's now 37% reset. Apparently it does in fact take hours to complete. It would have been up and running now if I'd installed Linux on it...

    Not sure who will want to buy it though. With a RAM upgrade and a cheap SSD it would run any light distro okay, but I can't imagine it being any use running Windows.

  15. 🐧 Linus Torvalds Rejects AI Coding Bans as Linux Rethinks Disclosure Rules

    「 The proposed change would remove the requirement from the kernel’s contribution documentation and eliminate its handling in the checkpatch.pl script. Notably, Greg Kroah-Hartman, who previously supported keeping the tag, now supports its removal 」

  18. @thec @stefano Ok so if I get you correctly you suggest that #Linux will be made irrelevant by an #AI #kernel, yes?

    I think experiments from #anthropic showing that you can #cleanroom a #compiler to *some* extent (pathetic as it may be) clearly show that it probably could be done, but the question of course is how to streamline it in a way that #Linux provides right now for a lot of architectures. I think this would #tokenmaxx quite quickly...
