A new, unpatched local privilege escalation (LPE) vulnerability impacting the Linux kernel.
Linux Kernel Dirty Frag LPE Exploit Enables Root Access Across Major Distributions.
https://thehackernews.com/2026/05/linux-kernel-dirty-frag-lpe-exploit.html
Well, after reading "Integrated By Design", Vivian Voss's book...
...it's clear why. IMO the book is a must if you are working with #linux

Init vs SystemD
This subject was highlighted in an interesting manner by the author.
The article is also very informative. You will learn a few to a lot of things about both systems.From my perspective the author seems to have forgotten one important thing.
He stated himself that Init follows the UNIX, not Linux, principle of doing one thing good.
The UNIX principle is way older than Linux itself, which makes me think that the author has not been around long enough, to know how interesting of a monstrosity systemD has become.
Regardless whether you like Init or systemD, you have to know that they have totally different concepts with similar final goals but in different manners.
The philosophies coding styles, modus operandi & configuration, differ so wildly from one to another, that you should not compare them, AT ALL
Never compare systemD with Init!
Realize one thing, if you do not want to see systemD, ever you have to migrate to one of the more advanced Open Source environments.
You shall be safe in freeBSD, openBSD, netBSD, ghostBSD, Open Indiana, Tribblix, Illumos, or any of the others which have been around much longer than Linus Torvalds was even an ID {idea} in the balls of his father.
You can even go for Open DOS, sinds that's single tasking no Init is neededYou should also not forget that you can always, write & program your own Init system or modify the current Init system itself, if you are stuck on a Linux flavor.
Stop bitching about which system is better.
They are totally different.
Live with one of them or write your own
Init is Open Source
systemD is Open SourceUse the power, choose or fork your favourite

VIM
Bram Molenaar
human programming
BackgroundIt has come to my attention that my beloved VIM has become invested with LLM AI slop
The lead programmer is not following standard rules of coding anymore.
People have called him many things, but one thing is certain. The man is intelligent in the programming field and knows what he wants.
VIM needs LLM slop!
the programmer screams!
We don't think so!
we roar back!!!
A couple of programmers decided to create a hard fork of vim
VIM
- version
V9.1.0 January 2K24 - last commit
- no LLM slop
- Pure Bram Molenaar level human crafted code
If you are categorically against large language model slop this is a project for you to support!
This is a hard Fork meaning that you cannot merge it back with me VIM main source line

Abstract Objects Layer
The functions in this chapter interact with Python objects regardless of their
type, or with wide classes of object types (e.g. all numerical types, or all
sequence types). When used on object types for which they do not apply, they
will raise a Python exception.It is not possible to use these functions on objects that are not properly
initialized, such as a list object that has been created by :c:func:PyList_New,
but whose items have not been set to some non-\NULLvalue yet... toctree::

CPython is both a compiler and an interpreter. It compiles Python source code to bytecode, then executes that bytecode on a stack-based virtual machine. Understanding this dual nature reveals how Python achieves its balance between high-level expressiveness and runtime efficiency.
Key Concepts:
Everything is an object: Integers, functions, classes, modules, even types themselves are objects with a uniform interface
The GIL: A mutex that protects Python objects, simplifying memory management but limiting CPU-bound parallelism
Memory Management: Reference counting (immediate) + cyclic garbage collection (for cycles)
Compilation Pipeline: Source โ Tokens โ AST โ Bytecode โ Executionmotivation
- It's important to know
- how to use a programming language
- it's tools
- compiler(s)
- assembler
- linker
It's vital to know how the compiler works from the source

- sit and read, learn the logic, check the remarks
- that gives and understanding of the workings of the whole suite of tools for that language
I used explorar.dev in this example, but you don't need the internet to analyse source code. Just download them once, then read at your leasure offline
The screencaps are included to show how it can be done via explorar.
Happy hacking!

Log4j is foundational software. This 20+ year-old Java logging library quietly powers system events in applications worldwide, like user logins and calculation results. But this small piece of software had quietly become a dependency in thousands of projects across the Java ecosystem.Opinion & reaction
- I'm blown away by the events leading to the tornadoes & typhoons that followed shortly after in the OpenSource programming World
- Fifty percent of software was affected with 93% of enterprise software sub section
- Log4Shell is a critical infrastructure level shared library
- nearly everyone using java depends on it's functional I/O
Analysis
- why do most Open Source software users only contact programmers when bugs are detected?
- why do they (almost) never get compliments when it goes well?
- programmers burn out after a while and leave projects abandoned
- when you were a kid, your mom / dad / family complimented you on good results
- programmers need the same
- otherwise they will leave the projects
Open Source programming is a thankless job
- Zero cash influx
- no thank you's
- complaints even when software has long matured to stable levels
- entitled users
- threats to be Doxxed or worse
Be nice to Open Source programmers
- If you have following contact here on the Fediverse with one say thank you
- don't expect replies (esp when hundreds to thousands of followers are indicated)
- realize you either can't code programs of that caliber or don't want to invest the time
- I am lucky to have conversational contact ont the FediVerse with critical infrastructure programmers
- I always say thank you, because I know how hard it is to write software of that magnitude
- when I review their software, I am critical, but formulate my words and sentences in a manner I would want to read them if places were switched

My interaction with the wonderful program curl is typical of my interaction with all Open Source programs which I use.
- I first type in the command after which I sent a CR LF {carriage return line feed}.
- I watch the output
- I type
curl --help - I type
man curl
A swiss army knife for downloading has extensive manpages
- I'm referred to
man libcurl(3){in MX Linux} - I type
man libcurl - BecauseI did not install libcurl-devel on this small installation the manpage for libcurl(3) is not local
- I read the manpage (online)
- I distill what I need from curl and implement it
I know the basics of curl for my own use
- this method can be used with all commands
- it's a logical and systematic method
- it will work until the end of Terra

Thank you for your reaction. We both love the choice we have in the flavour of Vim we can run.
When I started with BBS debugging and management many, many decades ago, I felt blessed that with the Waffle BBS port to dos a port of vi was also included. It did not help me on the Amiga 500 I {still} have, but of course there was a vi implementation on the Amiga too. I did not know that Bram (had written / was writing VIM already).
The POTS phone lines were horrific in my country (SR / SA) so vi was the only usuable editor to work on the BBS back and front end, since I only had a 2400BPS modem on that machine.
In the beginning I mostly used `:i` entered my text in config files and <ESC> as fast as possible to make sure crappy characters did not get into my files, then did `:wq` to exitWhen I later learned about Bram Molenaar's awsome creation of VIM I was hooked.
IMHO everyone should learn VIM / vi basic editing since vi will always be installed on a Open Source OS.I can understand why you love neoVIM. What's important is that you have choice and a smooth workflow covering decades
Have fun!

Vim v9.2 is released. There are many magnรญfico features I look forward to use. VIM is a Swiss Army Knife for editing Source Code & text.
The features are too many to mention, no really I don't know them all; NOBODY DOES!
Just like with the GiMP I know the functions I need and learn more when the requirement arizes. VIM has an extensive help system which Bram Molenaar et all developed over the decades that VIM exists.History
VIM was initially coded on the Amiga computer systems of which I own an A4000T with a Cyberstorm 060 and Max Ram, with RTG card (Picasso 96), a A1200 vanilla with a stock HDD & an A500 with stock RAM (chip and fast) and 3 FDD 2x 3.5" 1x 5 1/4"Bram wrote VIM in such a way that it runs on the A500 with just 512kB RAM!
There are people who love EMACS. To them I say
<flame bait>
EMACS can't hold a candle to VIM
</flame bait>Of course that is just humour. In the Open Source world choice is what makes us all work and play well on whatever hardware we have with whatever tools we love

New Features in Vim 9.2
Comprehensive Completion: Added support for fuzzy matching during insert-mode completion and the ability to complete words directly from registers (CTRL-X CTRL-R). New 'completeopt' flags like nosort and nearest offer finer control over how matches are displayed and ordered.
Modern Platform Support: Full support for the Wayland UI and clipboard has been added. On Linux and Unix-like systems, Vim now adheres to the XDG Base Directory Specification, using $HOME/.config/vim for user configuration.
UI Enhancements: A new vertical tabpanel provides an alternative to the horizontal tabline. The MS-Windows GUI now supports native dark mode for the menu and title bars, along with improved fullscreen support and higher-quality toolbar icons.
Interactive Learning: A new built-in interactive tutor plugin (started via :Tutor) provides a modernized learning experience beyond the traditional vimtutor.^Z
>> Quote II
Vim9 Script Ecosystem & AI Integration
The maturity of Vim9 script's modern constructs is now being leveraged by advanced AI development tools. Contributor Yegappan Lakshmanan recently demonstrated the efficacy of these new features through two projects generated using GitHub Copilot:
Battleship in Vim9: A complete implementation of the classic game, showcasing classes and type aliases. [GitHub]
Number Puzzle: A logic game demonstrating the efficiency of modern Vim9 for interactive plugins. [GitHub]^Z
I wonder why they have LLM support?
Note
The download page looks horrible on mobile so you'd be wise to view it on desktopIf this is your first time using VIM and you didn't bother to read the help file with `:h`
Just exit VIM type `:wq` to write & exit or type `:q!` to exit without saving the file#Vim #VimMasterRace #tips #tricks #handy #features #Vi #EMACS #editor #text #freeBSD #ghostBSD #BSD #Linux #OpenSource #POSIX

@tux0r @fedops @nobodyinperson @justine
That's good for you. $EMACS** is very powerful. The wonderful choice we have in the Open Source world makes all tastes toward tools good
For me vim.motif & vim.athena rock. I got hooked on Vim when I need it to work on noisy POTS phone lines using non MNP modems. The ability to switch between input and read mode made that work bearable
** Replace $EMACS with any favorite editor of your choosing
