Summary: This release adds: the CAKE network queue management to fight bufferbloat, it is designed to fight intended to squeeze the most bandwidth and latency out of even the slowest ISP links and routers; support for guaranteeing minimum I/O latency targets for cgroups; experimental support for the future Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax-drafts); memory usage for overlayfs users has been improved; a experimental EROFS file system optimized for read-only use; a new asynchronous I/O polling interface; support for avoiding unintentional writes to an attacker-controlled FIFO or regular files in world writable sticky directories; support for a Intel feature that locks part of the CPU cache for an application; and many new drivers and other improvements.
“Greg he also wrote about the commitment to welcome the new people and help them learn things. That’s why this release is also codenamed People’s Front”
I give up. Why does OpenBSD have to be so fucking unusable? Maybe Haiku..
>Greg he also wrote about the commitment to welcome the new people and help them learn things. well do you want all the knowledge to die out when the current 50 year old devs kick the bucket?
It's funny how you people get upset about it being called "People's front" (despite the fact that Linus himself is a turbocommunist and his parents are literal members of the Finish communist party), but you were totally fine with "hurr durr imma sheep"

Right now it's not really usable. It's developing in the right direction though. Progress has slowed a little as the lead developer has a daughter now. But it has a lot of potential, very promising project. Keep an eye out. Also you can play doom on it youtube.com/watch?v=-wwwYIqfQik&feature=youtu.be

>Support für diesen von der NSA entwickelten Verschlüsselungsalgorithmus hatten Google-Entwickler zu Linux 4.17 beigesteuert; bei 4.18 rüsteten sie dann noch Speck-Support in Fscrypt nach, weil sie Speck bei Android nutzen wollten. Noch vor Fertigstellung von 4.18 gaben die Entwickler aber überraschend bekannt, dass Google diese Pläne verworfen hat.
>Support for NSA speck was added by Google NPCs to Linux 4.17, however they coincidentally later said they don't plan on using it.
It's in Fscrypt, where else would it be? Linux already announced 4.18 is the last release to come with speck (as nobody wants it, not even Alphabet), so basipally 4.17 and 4.18 users were rekt coincidentally, just like the users of LuLu on Mac OS X/macOS were.
Julian Lee
I'm confused, you said to skip 4.19, but also here you're saying that users of 4.17 and 4.18 are screwed. Is 4.17 and above fucked or is it just 4.19? Why would Linus accept this if it has an obvious flaw? Does it have a flaw, or do you just hate it because it's NSA and possible hasn't been extensively tested?
I confused myself there for a moment as well, I thought we're at 4.18, pardon me. It's appearantly 4.17 - 4.19.
>just hate it because it's NSA I assume you're US american? It's not "just the NSA". Nowadays it's "just the NSA", tomorrow it's "just the NSA and the cops" and everybody has to live in fear about bantz and opinions because of examples like this: Who knows where they got the information from? Most likely because the cops, NSA, CIA, FBI, KGB, BND, GHCQ etc. cooperate and share databases and softwares and people like us, without the money for expensive lawyers, get fucked over.
How does it feel to waste a high speed data bus on a pointing device?

As in setting up a new computer with an operating system based on the Linux kernel which utilizes the CAKE network queue manager. The computer would as the default gateway of my network where it's function would be fire walling and routing.
Better?

With this I can finally block my son's attempts of running Windows in my house which is against the rules My OS fingerprinting rule detects any device running Windows The home WiFi uses 802.11X with individual user accounts, so I can easily block Windows devices. Ethernet switches are all managed, which allows me to block individual physical ports

Why would you need fingerprinting? You only need to know if OS complies to standards or not, did I get this wrong?

>>cat | grep >Stop. try to stop me c: tons of stuff is piped into grep (e.g dmesg) so it is more consistent to pipe everything and less of a mental burden
not to mention I sometimes cat a file before grepping it and having to go back and edit the command is more effort than appending |grep

>What do you think about it I think it has some network-related bugs since nothing network-related was changed the two days prior to the final being released and late rc8 crashed. I haven't actually tried the 4.19 final but since nothing's changed it's likely going to produce the same result as the entire 4.19 series has had since about rc1: lockups on high network usage.
4.18.16 will probably be a much better choice for quite some time.
As I told you in the thread yesterday (or was it saturday), it's most likely driver related (hence the dead lock stack trace) and not due to the network stack.
it is not like I am catting gigabytes of files any performance gain is lost in the time spent having to edit earlier parts of my commands or in mentally getting aware of whether I am dealing with the contents of a file or the output of a process
do what works for you user
Jayden Parker
>excuses excuses excuses It's still incorrect, user.
John Diaz
perhaps, and I'll know soon enough. I have two quad port Intel NIC coming today or tomorrow. If it's related to the Realtek r8169 driver then 4.19 should work.
but it's also possible it could have something to do with - apart from the upstream NIC everything is on a bridge for the LAN - a bond to a switch is part of that bridge so it's a slightly more complex setup than most
there's some pretty big changes in the r8169 code between 4.18 and 4.19 so it's possible that's it. not sure what other driver would be in play and cause that panic
