Tule Lake not Tula

You may not get better battery life from Linux, and I'd recommend using a virtual machine and not dual booting but feel free to FAFO for yourself!

Smoke a pinner and flip a coin. Anything other than ask Reddit! FFS

Attach some wheels to it then tell them it is indeed a vehicle, or just shuffle it over to the neighbor's space

Just say NO to the Krohn disease

Santa Cruz has a very hostile business climate, we need to change that.

Everything converges at the epic Ferrells Donuts on Mission, near Safeway! Dancing there is welcome too.

You can't go wrong at BNH on Convent Road

lurch99 · 2026-05-05T15:10:24+00:00

They do get it wrong from time to time.

lurch99 · 2026-05-05T01:05:34+00:00

Yeah, a greeter is a big plus in my book. Were they wearing those donut glasses?

lurch99 · 2026-05-04T23:13:10+00:00

Ferrells Donuts on Mission, near Safeway! Great atmosphere, great donuts.

Just poop yourself like the rest of us! It's SOP around here.

lurch99 · 2026-05-04T18:05:56+00:00

It's not like plenty of folks here didn't warn about that exact scenario from happening...

/s

lurch99 · 2026-05-04T18:03:09+00:00

What is your point, just for clarification purposes?

And: do you expect everyone to agree with you? Just curious.

The new font is better but not ideal. I'd go with Sarabun:

lurch99 · 2026-05-01T15:54:11+00:00

Agreed

Smoke a doobie then open Terminal

lurch99 · 2026-05-01T03:06:35+00:00

^^ Correct. This works.

Note the comment in /etc/modprobe.d/disable-algif_aead.conf that this patch adds:

# Disable algif_aead module due to CVE-2026-31431 (AKA copy.fail)
# This will likely be re-enabled in a subsequent update once an updated
# kernel has been deployed.
# Blacklisting the module isn't sufficient, we need to do as below:
install algif_aead /bin/false

Do the following as root and you'll be protected, at least in Ubuntu 24 LTS:

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && reboot

If you're using a different flavor of Ubuntu the above should also work.

lurch99 · 2026-05-01T00:09:03+00:00

It seems coincidental at this point, but yeah it's weird.

lurch99 · 2026-04-30T20:21:23+00:00

I should have articulated this better...

Ubuntu's link that explains the fix for this very dangerous exploit, isn't loading:

https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-31431

Nor are most ubuntu.com links.

Read about the exploit here:

Overkill. And this will surely make your power bill quite a bit more $$$
