  1. Find out how vulnerable your GNU/Linux system is to those fancy modern CPU bugs: /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/ #spectre #meltdown #l1tf

  2. There's some fire in #OpenBSD's commit message to address Intel's #L1TF screwup

    """(3) stuffing the L1D cache with fresh data and expiring old content. This stuffing loop is complicated and interesting, no details on the mitigation have been released by Intel so Mike and I studied other systems for inspiration. Replacement algorithm for the L1D is described in the tlbleed paper."""

    That being said, #Intel said they patched this one with 0 performance hit so I guess it shouldn't be that much of a dealbreaker. Choices, choices...

  4. RT @[email protected] Theo de Raadt on the impact of the Intel #Foreshadow #L1TF on #OpenBSD. “We asked repeatedly, but Intel provided no advance notice. We did not even receive replies to our requests for dialogue. On a side note, AMD cpus are not vulnerable to this problem.”
