13:02 schestowitz[TR2]; <p>A while ago a colleague of mine asked about our crash infrastructure in Plasma and whether I could give some overview on it. This seems very useful to others as well, I thought. Here I am, telling you all about it! </p>

13:06 schestowitz[TR2]; <blockquote>
13:06 schestowitz[TR2]; <p>This Benchmark is a valuable resource for system administrators, security auditors, and organizations that must comply with industry standards and regulations. We encourage the FreeBSD community to provide feedback and contribute to the ongoing refinement of these guidelines. Security is most effective when its a collaborative effort, and we look forward to seeing how the community will
13:06 schestowitz[TR2]; leverage and expand upon this new resource. </p>

13:07 schestowitz[TR2]; <blockquote>
13:07 schestowitz[TR2]; <p>The source-based Gentoo Linux distribution, which still supports a wide range of CPU architectures, will soon support one less. The project leaders announced that it is removing support for Intel's Itanium processor family. </p>
13:07 schestowitz[TR2]; <p> It had little choice in this. Like any other distro, Gentoo relies on upstream support for a platform in order to keep it working. The Linux kernel nearly removed Itanic support in February 2023, and finally did so in kernel 6.7 last October. As we predicted the following month, nobody has stepped up to maintain out-of-tree support. </p>

20:49 schestowitz[TR2]; The only stuff I'd have left out is anything about risk to oneself e.g. assassination as that can play into the hands of your opponents/detractors.
