  • Arch Linux will use yescrypt as the default password hashing algorithm

    September 22nd, 2023

    It was chosed against SHA512 because it offers 2 major advantages:

    1. readily available in libxcrypt
    2. stronger resilience towards password cracking attempts over SHA512

  • LTS kernel support is no more 6 years long

    September 21st, 2023

    “In 2017, the kernel jumped from two years of support to six. Now, six years later, it turns out that’s a lot of work. Linux Weekly News executive editor Jonathan Corbet announced the Linux kernel will return to two years of LTS support.

    The plan to cut back down to two years isn’t instant.”

    According to the article the currently LTS maintained kernels are 6 🙂

  • Weird FSRS scheduling error

    September 16th, 2023

    Just a discrepancy of review dates that I noticed, still not able to reproduce and report a bug.

    There is a known bug that has to do with reviewing cards during the rollover hour (set at 4 hours past midnight as default) but it seems it is not the case here…

  • error: failed to synchronize all databases (unable to lock database)

    September 10th, 2023

    The problem:

    The solution:

    sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck removes the lock of the package database that pacman created when a package is about to get altered. This mechanism prevents a different instance of pacman to perform simultaneous changes but the lock can sometimes remain stale

  • Booting FreeBSD Kernel in < 20ms

    September 10th, 2023

    According to the 2023’s Second Quarter Status Report boot optimizations speed up kernel boot process.

    The developer Colin Percival implemented a mergesort algorithm instead of the 30+ year old bubblesort of SYSINITs.

    Bubblesort is a sorting algortithm that compares each element of an array with the next one and sorts them, whereas mergesort divides the array into subarrays. This system boosted speed by a factor of 100x.

  • 13.2-RELEASE-p3 corrects underlying update bug

    September 7th, 2023

    One of them is associated with the update process of the freebsd-update tool, as it incorrectly deleted files in /etc/, in case that the file to be
    updated matched the new release and was different than the old release …

    Yeap sounds pretty … serious 🙂 Funny is that in order to apply the patch you have to use the same freebsd-update command lol
