If the executable binary has to be signed with a key, similar to the module signing key, Microsoft could sign their binaries
This, along with secureboot, would prevent the owner of the machine from running eBPF programs Microsoft doesn’t want you to run, even with root
I agree, but the wording of that is imprecise…
Google reimplemented the same API (which should be legal) but “use” sounds like they called Oracle’s implementation of the function
Oracle tried to argue that writing your own virtual machine with the exact same same interface as theirs (even a clean room reimplementatio, or an improved version) was copyright infringement
If Oracle had won, it would likely have killed things like OpenJDK, WINE, Proton, Rosetta, etc. and would have made licensing around OpenGL/Vulkan very confusing (for a few examples)
The Ubuntu security team only supports the ~2,000 packages in “main”
Things like ffmpeg are in “universe” and only get security updates if you subscribe to Ubuntu Pro
Debian’s security team has always been significantly more responsive than Ubuntu. It’s regularly had CVE fixes in older versions of Debian that newer versions of Ubuntu don’t bother to pull into universe
Sure, I just wasn’t sure if 2^9 has some historical significance in nazism or fascism
512 million seems just specific enough… is that a reference to something, or just a random large number?
FWIW, if you decide to go with KDE and manage to delete your panel, it’s

My job is literally to make Linux distros using Yocto for various boards. I’m constantly writing new build scripts or updating build scripts, debugging the kernel/systemd/glibc and whatever libraries are on the system.
All of my work and personal desktops run some version of Fedora Atomic or a uBlue variant right now.
With distrobox/toybox/brew and using podman/docker/KVM+qemu, even as a tinkerer, it’s great
A safe would make more sense for an encrypted partition or directory
And “the specific resource ID” is almost certainly for localization of the text
Maybe it’s a generational thing, or geographic thing?
My wife was born in a village near Xi’an, and lived there for ~22 years
She isn’t into fengshui, and doesn’t adhere to any major superstitions (I guess other than you have to keep your belly button warm 😂)
SSDs make hibernate even more powerful
That’s why things like suspend-then-hibernate are popular now
If you’re seriously wanting to compile optimized software for those devices, you would want to investigate “cross compiling”
I wasn’t trying to give a positive side, I was just explaining why Microsoft wants the feature
