Right after I posted I heard a big wooosh, but /. would not let me re-post and told me to wait. Here I am :)

Last I heard SAP was based in Germany.

I cannot mod you up even though I have points, this new /. WEB site really sucks. So I posted, I guess Apple Fanboys are out in force.

This highlights yet another reason to avoid proprietary Operating Systems. People bought these probably overpriced items and encrypted them for a reason, now Apple is saying "TFB, you cannot use the hardware the way you want.". What is next, dropping support for that hardware ?

Yet another reason people should move to Linux or a *BSD.

After reading this line at the start of the article, I stopped reading. For people with their heads in the sand, Linux did not exist in 1989, inconceivable.

What I want to know is why the Linux Foundation is keeping quite about these Age Verification Laws. Don't they support the users anymore ?

Without these users in the 90s and early 2000, there would be no LF paying high salaries so people can create documents using Microsoft Word on Windows.

The countdown begins. I wonder when Hyundai will move Boston Dynamics to a state like Texas or off-shore. But maybe since it is involved with US defense maybe off-shoring will not happen.

Or it will not happen until the Defense portion of the business is spun off to a whole owned subsidiary based in DC.

I wonder if OpenSSH will be acceptable. Or does this certification only apply to commercial products ? AFAIK OpenSSH would be acceptable.

This will work fine until 2039, which is 12 years away. I think it is better to go to NetBSD, they make a point of supporting old systems.

Plus NetBSD 32 bit is fully 2038 compliant and has been for many years.

Not mine, in Slackware 15.0 algif_aead is a module and not loaded by default.

Now that is a moot point since Slackware released a new kernel to address this issue. Plus algif_aead is still a module in that kernel.

Actually it was set as a module, but PV said all the setuid binaries, by default, could not be read by users. That suppose to mean should someone load that module, the issue would not occur.

Thanks, I checked Slackware 15.0 and it is fine.

algif_aead is not loaded by default and is not mentioned in /usr/src/linux-5.15.193/.config

That tells me that at least by default Slackware is OK.

I cannot mod you up even with mod-points and all firefox plugins disabled, but what you say is 100% true

Recent changes made to this website makes it almost impossible to use, this could very well be the last time I login. If these changes are reverted to what we had 10 years ago, then maybe I will come back :(

FWIW, my main system is Slackware. OpenBSD is used on an old "travel" laptop and I use OpenBSD to test programs I write on Linux.

I got caught by this same issue 15 to 20 years ago when Nvidia said they no longer support the card I had. That card did not work with Nouveau so I had by spend to buy another card. So, I use OpenBSD as a guide on what card I use with Linux so I would not get burned again.

This I will never enable or use, if forced on me I will leave the Linux ecosystem. Hopefully it is in a kernel module I can ban.

Cannot mod, but yes, this is why you should NEVER buy anything from Nvidia. I have been avoiding them for 20 years now.

If the video card does not work on OpenBSD, it is not worth buying for any OS.
