Linux 6.3 triggers a use-after-free inside #nouveau with the consequence of corruption kernel memory.

If you run on 6.3 and #nouveau it's the best to downgrade to 6.2 if you don't want to risk trashing your filesystem or cause any other abnormal behavior.

At least for now I only ran into heap corruptions not doing any damages, but that might just be out of sheer luck as I was seeing ext4 code hitting random garbage pointers inside `kmalloc`.

Feel free to share for awareness.

Я нашёл станцию в Исландии, которая транслирует неплохую музыку, и без рекламы. Иногда говорят что-то по-исландски, что тоже звучит как музыка :-)

Никогда не задумывался об этом, а Cyberpunk 2077 тоже славянский киберпанк? xD

Another Elbrus leak happened, it seems.

Linux kernel sources?
Astra Linux ISO?
It has cross-compiler too, huh. It's not latest, but slightly newer than that was leaked before.

Ok, so. Earlier this day, I posted a link to GitHub: https://github.com/free-src/free-src that contains Elbrus patches for few GPL licensed components.

For those who don't know, MCST doesn't really follow GNU GPL, and they don't publish any sources. It's available for partners and in theory for those who bought an Elbrus computer, but nobody publishes sources for them.

Anything that's not published directly by MCST is a leak. They are still the original authors of the patches. There were a few leaks before, when Astra Linux unintentionally posted GNU Binutils sources in their (public!) repository, and from MCST-Volga when they "accidentally" leaked Linux 3.14.

But this... this is fucking special. Everything began when Selectel (a Russian hosting company) posted an article about Elbrus and for some reason linked private ALT Linux repositories with E2K binaries. It was quickly removed from the article, and the URL was changed. But! Some people were fast enough to scrape the repository, and because they now had binaries, they made a GPL source code request to ALT Linux, and they said... "OK". And gave tarballs with source code.

I don't exactly know what MCST is going to do with BaseALT. But big respect to them for being brave enough to respect GNU GPL in Russia.

Reality: *big cores only used for active window*

emulators 

I want to point out something that nobody seems to talk when it comes to emulators: Emulators are fucking useful for development.

Ideally ALL hardware should have some emulator you can use for development.

Open hardware moves closer to this goal which is really exciting as it means I don't need to buy hardware to write and debug weird issues on hardware.
