Linux news and faggot mod fucking removes it?

Also there is BARELY anything to discuss about a kernel release so it really does not deserve a thread.
Jason Garcia
This meme of "A thread died for this" has to die. Jow Forums has been at an all time low of traffic these last few days and mods have been assblasting everyone on here.
electronic engineering is in /diy/ which leaves software/hardware and linux for Jow Forums
TLDR: just let someone post kernel updates once in a while.
Thomas King
>all time low of traffic these last few days
Nah not really. Slow Jow Forums is better
Brayden Reed
there was a jannie spergout aparently
Joseph Wright
I just fucking compiled 4.17 for my gentoo NOOOOOO

any exciting new features?

>Speck NSA botnet
Xavier Murphy
Depends on what you consider exciting. They added a new rseq syscall which I think is the most notable new change, but unless you are writing a memory allocator, it probably doesn't matter to you.
Nathaniel Sullivan
They also added Steam Controller drivers if anyone is into that I guess
Logan Cook
Speck encryption algorithm from NSA. A bit fishy thing because NSA won't tell anything about it even to peoples who make ISO standards.
Connor Collins
That is in 4.17, not a new thing
Jeremiah Brooks
Adam Parker
Why not? From what I understand, fixes include:
- early work to include Y2K38 compatibility
- Thunderbolt fixes
- Bpfilter, which will eventually replace iptables
- FUSE with namespace support, meaning FUSE in containers is possible now without dirty hacks.
It's nice to acknowledge what's going on.
Camden Harris
I'd just like to - oh, nevermind.
William Cooper
They added filesystem encryption with speck.
Gavin Edwards
There was an article about removing speck from the Linux kernel after Google decided they didn't want that shit. It was brought up by the Wireguard developer who seems pretty awesome. phoronix.com
Easton Ortiz
Steam Controller driver is now in the kernel itself.
Though the SC-Controller software still uses userspace driver for it and author may not change it.
Benjamin Sullivan
Anybody else remember when Linus said 5.0 would come after 4.16?
Actually, no. That got nixed. Google came up with a better solution.
Jordan Diaz
I wouldn't. It's going to be a while before distros update
Joshua Turner
Nice. Based Jewgle. If only they came out with this before speck was added
