Dirty COW was Livepatched in Ubuntu within Hours of Publication

Coincidentally, just before the vulnerability was published, we released the Canonical Livepatch Service for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. The thousands of users who enabled canonical-livepatch on their Ubuntu 16.04 LTS systems with those first few hours received and applied the fix to Dirty COW, automatically, in the background, and without rebooting!

New Legislation to Tackle Pirate Kodi Box Sellers Rejected

Modified Kodi and other IPTV devices allow users to access valuable content for free. Members of Parliament and industry players say they want to clamp down on such devices, by closing loopholes in copyright law to target sellers. This week, however, their suggestions to change the law in the UK were withdrawn.

DTrace for Linux 2016

Without DTrace on Linux, I began by using what was built in to the Linux kernel, ftrace and perf_events, and from them made a toolkit of tracing tools (_perf-tools). They have been invaluable. But I couldn’t do some tasks, particularly latency histograms and stack trace counting. We needed kernel tracing to be programmatic._

thanks for the great idea!

Subject: JB Suerkey

Message: I’ve heard you talk about the new super key stickers for linux. When can we buy these from JB, I would love to get some!

Name: Andrew L
Subject: CRM Review

Message: This was a great segment. I would like to see more business solution type segments on LAS or even a more business centric show for Noah. As a person that works primarily in a Windows environment, I like to see open source solutions that are business ready so that I can pitch them at work. The only way we will go from a Microsoft shop to a Linux shop is by finding open source applications that can meet the needs of the business. We will be looking to replace our CRM next year so I’ll be setting up a Zurmo server for people to try.
