I have seen it, upgrades use a cut down kernel (bsd.rd) which doesn’t have the same graphics drivers.

You may find setting the console to serial works around it (set tty com0 in /etc/boot.conf).

Your comment is not constructive, why can't it be trusted?

If every user of an LLM took this much care and attention, many people would have fewer issues with LLM assisted coding. In this case the author has demonstrated they can write plenty of code without an LLM, so why not use it carefully to benefit their productivity?

No, it is not affected by the exploit as presented. This is a page cache write, so writing to a binary that root will run later can work too. This isn’t a reason to push an agenda that dislikes setuid binaries.

The style of the blog post, with short, abrupt sentences does not captivate me. I’d like to think someone writing a book has a more interesting writing style. Or maybe LLMs have damaged me and I’m too critical of writing style now, whatever it is this doesn’t sell the book to me.

Microsoft loves sending emails with "Action required" in the subject, when actually no action is required, or it doesn't apply to you, or whatever. Such corporate speak. It's fun searching your email for "Action required" and finding all the things you were supposed to do and it turns out didn't need to do anything about.

Very similar to bittorrent’s bencode. That has the benefit that it has a canonical encoding which this doesn’t (because of the different compression options). I wouldn’t be put off by how it looks as text.

Previous NS records were pointing at dns-parking.com, which is Hostinger. Although hard to be certain without more details whether a reseller or other supplier is involved.

Clearly a joke if it uses the .lol tld.

The code is mostly vibe coded and under the BSL. I think the interesting bit here is a single developer can write something like this with an agent. Does it make sense to open source such a thing or just each ISP write their own to their requirements?

I also don’t get the focus on handling DHCP renewals in the kernel fast path. With 2000 subscribers per OLT and say a 5 minute lease time that’s only a few renewals a second.

Same, it's all over the place. Whatever it is doing isn't a very strong fingerprint.

Why aren't you using IBM cloud?

Yes, previously: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35989909

The Redis test suite is still written in Tcl: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9963162 (although more recently antirez said somewhere he wished he'd written it in C for speed)

Most users don’t see it that way.
