  6. Ah, yes, the "timeless masterpiece" on /dev/urandom from 2014, still bravely clinging to relevance as the Linux kernel evolves faster than the author's ability to admit it. 🙄🤦‍♂️ Pro tip: When your article needs a "note from the future," it's time to rewrite, not recycle. 💾🔄

  17. A proposed Linux kernel patch adds a “killswitch” mechanism letting admins disable vulnerable kernel functions at runtime until security fixes are released. 🐧
    The patch targets threats like LPE exploits, taints modified kernels with a new flag, and was developed with documented AI-assisted contributions. 🔒

  27. Linux 7.1 RC3 released!

    Linux 7.1 RC3 is now live for developers and curious users to try out. All the interesting changes from performance improvements to bug fixes have been integrated to this release candidate.

    The official announcement from the kernel mailing list says:

    It's Sunday afternoon, and we all know what that means: Mother's Day.

    But also your regularly scheduled kernel release candidate.

    And I think this answers the "is 7.1 continuing the larger size pattern that we saw with 7.0?" question, and the answer is yes: that wasn't a fluke brought on by a .0 release - it simply seems to be the new normal.

    This time around, about a third of the patch is networking - both on the driver side and in core. And related selftests.

    The rest is pretty spread out, with other drivers (sound and gpu being the bigger ones, but there's a little bit of everything in there), architecture updates (powerpc and x86, but also some loongarch and parisc), and various other fixes (smb updates, various core kernel updates, Rust infrastructure, selinux, documentation etc).

    The shortlog below isn't exactly _short_, but not so long that you can't scroll through it to get some kind of idea of the details.

    Why not try out this awesome pre-release of Linux 7.1?
