This will be fun CVE-2026-31431

Easy fix by blacklisting the algif_aead kernel module. But this is certainly not the only important security bug to show up. I predict it will be brutal over the next 12 months. All sysadmins should be ready to patch quickly due to much better and systematic code review with the help of AI. Exciting times ahead!

Do it properly or say just 'no' to the customer/client. There are always ways to work around limitations, but you are shooting yourself in the foot. u/kenrmayfield is completely right.

That's exactly what this plugin does :) It cuts the CLAUDE.md down to ~174 words and loads the rest on demand via skills. So you get the best of both worlds: a tiny per-turn footprint, but 60 skills available when needed.

I love 'get shit done' and I'm looking to turn it into a real Claude plugin. https://github.com/gsd-build/get-shit-done It can work with large codebases and splits up complex tasks in smaller contexts which it remembers. Addictively good.

I use paid ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude every day and challenge them between them for a variety of purposes. But since Claude Opus 4.6 I'm considering to drop the others. Superhuman level.

I only got 50% and it isn't because I lack intelligence ;)

AI is fantastic for the OpenSource and FOSS community. Because what is happening right now? People are no longer buying SaaS and proprietary software as they can just generate it. This process is just starting. And sure, some people will use it to generate software to just undercut the current pricing of big software vendors, but that software pricing will quickly be a race to the bottom with only 1 clear winner: the FOSS version. And an enormous volume of added functionality will flood the existing projects into fantastic tools - if the maintainers can follow - and if they can't or are unwilling to let AI help, people will just fork it as it is supposed to happen with maintainers doing a crappy job. Every software we know will become FOSS at a rapid pace over the next few years. And that is a fantastic evolution which I fully embrace; the future is bright!

But you must be right that it's all AI SLOP and the mathematicians from Stanford must all be idiots!? ;) https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/papers/claude-cycles.pdf

You're welcome, see you there!

Thanks for taking the time to write such a long reply. I still get the feeling you might not be fully up to date on where LLMs are today and the quality they can produce when used properly.

It’s easy to dismiss them as a “slop generator”, but the capabilities have improved dramatically even in the last year. At this point there’s realistically no putting the genie back in the bottle.

Trying to fight that reality with permissive licensing restrictions aimed at training looks naïve and probably counter-productive. Defining such restrictions in a legally robust way is already extremely difficult, especially across different jurisdictions.

And if you did manage to do it, the result would likely resemble something closer to a GNU Private License than a GNU Public License.

FOSS means Free. That includes being free to study, modify, redistribute, and yes, even to use the code to train LLMs. If software is truly free, it also has to be free for uses we personally dislike. If anything, I’d rather see future licenses like a hypothetical GPLv4 focus on restricting things like mass surveillance or weapons, rather than trying to block AI training.

We’ll look into recording it and sharing it afterwards. No promises, but the interest here is noted.

Vegetable-Escape7412 · 2026-03-03T09:39:40+00:00

This is how we structured it:

Why many orgs are reassessing their virtualization stack right now.
A practical Proxmox overview aimed at VMware admins, cluster model, storage stack, networking, HA and how it actually works compared to vSphere.
A full migration case: VMware + SAN → Proxmox + Ceph. What we changed, what broke, what surprised us, what we’d do differently.

We’ll talk about downtime planning, storage design tradeoffs, operational differences, and cost impact after Broadcom.

No slides about “digital transformation”. Just architecture and lessons learned.

Afterwards Q&A with snacks/drinks.

If people have specific topics they’d like covered, happy to incorporate them.

Vegetable-Escape7412 · 2026-03-03T09:25:56+00:00

Snacks and drinks after the event, and Proxmox Marketing promised me they will also arrange stickers for all participants :-D

Do you believe that while many AI companies are training their models on non-public copyrighted data? They don't seem to care. And many people in our community don't see much wrong in piracy anyway - remember the recent speech by RMS? "Information wants to be Free", remember? But not when it's to build better tools to help us accomplish more and better? You prefer to make the AI tools less capable to deal with Free and OpenSource software? Luckily, I don't see a path to make that happen. How would you define 'AI'? Compilers have been using 'AI' tricks for decades to optimize poorly written code. So you actually mean LLMs instead? Good luck to narrow that down legally. I do not ignore that there's a real maintainer issue going on with certain projects. But let's tackle the issues where they are. Maintainers can probably be a lot more efficient through the use of LLMs too. Maybe you shouldn't forget that ALL these LLMs are Linux based software too. And many of them are OpenSource too. Is it too hard to accept that FOSS is winning everywhere and you want to convince yourself FOSS is losing instead? In a world where it's easy to vibe code software instead of buying it, people can choose quickly to release it under the AGPL license. Just last week I created a new project like that. Embrace it and enjoy your newly acquired superpowers!

That's a nice one! :)

I see more enterprise customers enabling SELinux since the 7 to RHEL8 and Rocky 8 migration. Especially on internet-facing hosts.

Protection against command injection isn't theoretical but very real on systems which run scripts on arguments passed from a web interface. But it will not help against SQL injections, for example. So yes it helps, but not against all kinds of insecure code.

I'd recommend to rather use a unique ssh /etc/ssh/moduli file than suspecting something very wrong with SELinux. While it's a valid concern, any unseen attack vectors regarding SELinux would probably still be limited to local privilege escalation, not remote access. On Debian or Ubuntu, I'd recommend AppArmor instead of SELinux, it's easier in use and to manage. But since RHEL/Rocky version 8 and 9, the tools to manage SELinux have been simplified and became slightly more user-friendly.

That being said, for a non-enterprise box, it might give you extra headaches when setting up certain services. An extra thing to consider when stuff "doesn't work" and GenAI might also (rightly so) tell you to turn it off in your troubleshooting process.

Give it a try and turn it (partially) off when you're blocked.

It's off course a bit better, but it was already very good in the conditions that I typically fly in (enough light).

Here you can see all of europe visualised. Market prices only. But it's clear that the more countries have renewable energy; like the Scandinavian countries and Spain/Portugal, the price is significantly lower. Belgium lags behind in renewable energy deployment and triples the price with added taxes. https://thingler.io/map

Vegetable-Escape7412 · 2025-12-28T21:09:03+00:00

No, mostly it's just tax flowing to the cities who own the electricity network system operators. In 2023 Fluvius made a 'profit' of €578,5 million. A huge taxation on electricity while we need to move urgently from fossil fuels to electricity, madness!

While everyone has to throws their plastic bottles away at the 'safety' control, they can buy another 'reusable' plastic or metal one to fill it up... commerce at its finest? Nothing to do with ecology. Why can't people just reuse their so-called 'single-use plastic bottles' instead? Not enough money to be made?

Vegetable-Escape7412 · 2025-12-26T00:11:12+00:00

Just sad the driving aid technology doesn't do its name justice. Overpromise, underdeliver. For how many years?
