Ah yes, the “extended Berkeley Packet Filter”.
Wikipedia:

eBPF is a technology that can run programs in a privileged context such as the operating system kernel.

Phoronix:

Hornet uses a similar signature verification scheme similar to that of kernel modules. A pkcs#7 signature is appended to the end of an executable file. During an invocation of bpf_prog_load, the signature is fetched from the current task’s executable file. That signature is used to verify the integrity of the bpf instructions and maps which where passed into the kernel. Additionally, Hornet implicitly trusts any programs which where loaded from inside kernel rather than userspace, which allows BPF_PRELOAD programs along with outputs for BPF_SYSCALL programs to run.

So this is to make kernel-level instructions from userspace (something that’s already happening) more secure.

The thread linked by the OP is Jarkko Sakkinen (kernel maintainer) seemingly saying “show your work, your patch is full of nonsense” in a patch submitted for review to the Linux kernel.
Edit: the OP has edited the link, it used to point to this comment in the mailing list chain.

I’m really enjoying it, thank you.

Still pretty cool though. Maybe this tech will eventually lead to a softmod.

Before you all go upgrading your consoles to the latest official firmware:

Q: Can this be turned into a softmod?
A: No, the Xbox 360 boot chain is very secure with no attack surface to try and exploit. There will never exist a software only boot-to-hacked-state exploit akin to a “softmod”.

It’s also not persistent, so you have to do this 20-minute process every time, and it only has a 30% success rate.

Just wait until you try Micro

I don’t expect you will either.

Rust just keeps telling me “you didn’t actually learn how references work” over and over

Alright, that’s really cool.
If you use the gravity reverse ability when people don’t have a ceiling above them, do they fall up into the sky and die?

Check out Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh.
Ender’s Game was my favorite book for many years but I can’t recommend Card’s books any more.
Luckily, Some Desperate Glory ticks all the boxes and then some.

I mean I wouldn’t mind defeating the purpose of anticheat. Let’s all defeat the purpose of anticheat.

Will that add two minutes to my boot time though?

I have a related issue. Mine is a network share and it’s in fstab, but I have Linux boot without waiting for wifi, so the mount fails and then asks for root password when I try to mount it later.
I think I just need to add “user” to the options field, right?

My two wifi bands have always been Castor and Pollux.

I take a word that’s related to the purpose of the new host and put it in an online translator and cycle through languages until I get something cool.

No you.

duf is pretty slick

That’s a weird way to spell Baobab

The MSX design space was such an exciting place.
For anyone curious about the above, it’s like this:

Imagine Nintendo said “instead of manufacturing the Switch 2, we released the specs and invited everyone else to build their own. You’re welcome to buy the Xbox Switch 2, the Sony PlaySwitch 2, the Philips Switch 2-i, the Sega Switch 2 & Knuckles, or the TRSwitch80 2. They’re all guaranteed to be compatible with our software lineup.” and then like, that actually happened.

Will this make my *arrs stop killing my seeds? What do I need to do to have that?
