BluesKajHi pauljw13:24
pauljwhey BluesKaj :)13:25
hggdhinteresting. RH/CentOS reverted the microcode updates, and now are directing customers elsewhere to find Spectre-resitant microcode14:57
hggdh" [...] must obtains and install updated microcode from their hardware vendor immediately."14:58
TJ-hggdh: makes sense; distro getting it in the neck for regressions due to Intel -> pass blame to Intel15:00
TJ-On the bright side the microcode updates for Linux may be unnecesasry15:01
TJ-Looks like we can have an in-kernel, 0-cost, solution15:01
hggdhTJ-: yeah. But passing the bucket to the hardware vendor is incorrect as well15:04
hggdh(and an in-kernel solution does not resolve the issue outside Linux)15:05
TJ-But that's the only way things can be certified, especially in the Enterprise space15:05
TJ-hggdh: right, but in-kernel means Linux doesn't suffer a performance hit but still avoids Spectre issues15:05
hggdhoh yes. I actually do not, personally, care for other OSes. A good question, though, is what will happen after the no-performance kernel fix meets updated microcode?15:07
TJ-as I understand it, nothing, since if the kernel doesn't use the IBRS/IBPB MSRs then speculation will be unchanged.15:09
TJ-Just that Ingo's idea of using the existing ftrace mechanics means minial patching of kernel and get can prevent issuing instructions that cause the vulnerabilities15:10
TJ-s/minial/minimal/15:10
hggdhthe best of both worlds, then. Good.15:11
TJ-there are extra issues for SkyLake CPUs due to the branch predictor buffer depth but there is some suggestion of ways to track that too15:12
ducassegood evening, oerheks - all well with drabber and you?17:06
oerheksheya ducasse17:06
oerheksyeah, he mised me today17:06

oerhekssome weather gave fatty rain, and showed up on our windows, ugly17:08
ducasse+6°C here, snow is melting17:08
oerhekssounds good, unless lower temperatures are comming and freezing it up again17:09
ducassethat's what i'm afraid of17:10
BluesKajwe had a thaw for almost 2 weeks, most of the snow disappeared , then we had a storm on Mon and got about 15cm/6" ..it's clear and cool today at -7C17:11
oerheksthis little heatwave can cause serious flu problems17:11

ducassecute little fellow :)17:16
oerheksHe wants to ride the bicycle/cargobike17:17
oerhekshe thinks: if i stick to the bike, everything will be alright :-D17:17
oerheksi can leave it open in front of a shop, he will bark if someone approaches :-D17:18
oerheksvicious17:18
ducassehehe, i'm sure he can scare almost anyone away - or at least he thinks so :)17:22
oerheksbut he will not bite, just show skills ..17:41
BluesKajwell, I'm to see my physician ...later17:41
oerheksand it is a kind of game, if i bark, what do you do?17:41
oerhekslater BluesKaj17:42
ducassegood luck, BluesKaj17:45
ducasseoerheks: he's just pretending to be big and tough?17:45
oerheksyes, behind a door you would expect a big bad bulldog or steffer18:02
oerheksnot a brain-as-big-as-a-bean-dog18:02
oerheks( says a chihuahua-owner)18:03
ducasseluna just wants anyone who enters to pet her, not much of an attack cat18:07
hggdhit is an attract dog18:16
nicomachusleftyfb: I was just trying to see what the partition table state was, but if you think you know what's going on and want to keep interfering, go ahead. I'm going to lunch.18:53
leftyfbnicomachus: sorry, but it just seems you were completely ignoring a read-only filesystem. That is problem #1 and should be address before anything else. The symptoms of that are almost infinite.18:53
nicomachusand checking the partition table was a simple first step, but forget it. you know what you're doing I guess.18:55
BluesKaj0.19:23
Ben64welp thats enough #ubuntu for now22:15
Ben64i'm a jerk because i tried to save a dude's files22:16
TJ-Ben64: best thing is just to ignore them when they get argumentative; don't take it personally. For every abusive user there's 20 that appreciate your help22:17
Ben64i don't get people sometimes22:18
Ben64at least at my other job i can kick em out if they pull anything like that22:18
Ben64machine shop, if they don't take my advice they get to leave22:18
Ben64because i don't want to deal with severed limbs or whatever22:19
Ben64anyway, lunch time!22:19
TJ-mmmm, save some for me... almost my supper time :)22:20
hggdhBen64: he *got* pulled out, and had a chat with ops elsewhere.22:29
hggdhthis is why he was allowed to return22:30
hggdhactually, he was just quieted, IIRC22:30
naccyes, just +/- q22:30
