    I get that people scoff at the idea of disabling cpu , saying that the performance impact isn't big enough to bother, but on some architectures, like AMD Zen1, setting `mitigations=off` in the kernel command line is literally a night and day difference. It's like I have a whole new machine once I enabled it on my thinkpad C13.

    @BleepingComputer @cisacyber coincidentally released a #cybersecurity advisory earlier today on RansomHub with TTPs, IOCs, and mitigation steps.

    Editors step in to fill a gap: South Africa's editors' forum adopts a "shadow" #risk assessment for #socialmedia threats in the country's upcoming #elections - and proposes what #mitigations #platforms could do linkedin.com/posts/guy-berger-

    For folks building systems with a more paranoid , do you use any "slub_debug" features beyond "slub_debug=ZF" (redzoning and verification) for security flaw ?

    e.g. "slub_debug=P" has been superseded by "init_on_alloc=1 init_on_free=1"...

    The flags are listed here:

    Boyanton et al, 2022: Supposing that a concurrent diagnosis of #pharyngitis & presence of the microbe constitutes a case of group A #Streptococcus pharyngitis (GAS-P), after early #COVID19 #mitigations, GAS-P diagnoses came down by 81.6%.

    @Empathy1st There’s a swarm here already, & until we address air quality, and preemptively wearing #masks, reducing the public health services load, #variants will outmanoeuvre #Vaccine development..

    ..we’re reaching the point where we have no alternative but to also examine the basis of our immune systems aren’t we? Like, lower intestine walls & their interactions with microbes, with a view to immune fortification. An extra layer on the ‘Swiss cheese’ model of #mitigations. #Fibre #prebiotic

    Things get really fun with treewide Linux kernel changes when you trip over imported code from external projects. Cleaning up fake flexible arrays continues in the ACPICA project:

    A look at the impact of mitigations for Spectre & Cie.

    It hurts deeply :( Does it really make sense to have those mitigations enabled on a personal computer? I get it for VMs in cloud, but at home?

    Our #hackerspace @chaospott is planning a series of #CTF challenges based on #FreeBSD VMs with custom prepared images to teach about #vulnerabilities and #mitigations in the 64-bit #x86 #microarchitecture, what an #OS has to take care of, and so on. Quite exciting! ✨👩🏻‍💻✨
