It seems like this round of vulns is going to be significant. What is the right response?

Personally I'm choosing to keep my home server behind a VPN and to enable Lockdown Mode on my phone and laptop for a while until the dust settles. As well as just limiting the software installed to trusted projects only.

VM isolation would still be safe even with these kernel exploits.


4GB is not "lightweight" nor are local models.

Good idea.

Chrome has no moat and is always evil. I advocate against it whenever it comes up.

Correct. Not sensible at all. Except so much more sensible than retro-petroleum stuff.

Watching my brother-in-law buy a 1971 Chevelle for his 16-year old daughter because she thought it looked cool only to have him sell it at a fat loss 3 months later because she couldn't choke down the gasoline fumes driving out of the school parking lot every day was instructive.


Sounds like the dude needs to learn how to fix exhaust leaks.

Or tune the engine correctly. Probably has an off-the-shelf "performance" carb that's set much richer than it should and a "full race" cam that only makes sense for a track car, giving horrible fuel economy and actually less low-end power.

My daily driver is roughly as old, has a 400 V8 with a 4-barrel, idles so quietly I've had passengers surprised that the engine was running, and gets around 20-25mpg if I resist the urge to open it up all the way.


That is the safest 1966 Mustang on the road.

Yeah, kinda boring in that respect.

Trademark violation is the problem. It is a sufficiently significant problem.

Windows 10 still working fine.

Who is supporting this law?

The majority of politicians in general it seems.

It is an abysmal value. Your corner drugstore sells an AP/SAT approved calculator for $9 to $29.

I will buy one anyway because calculators remain a modest luxury that I want to indulge.
