Ah, the #copyfail clickbait posts are coming. Here’s my contribution. On your Linux machine add

initcall_blacklist=algif_aead_init

to your kernel boot commandline (typically in grub). Reboot. You are now safe until the updated kernel packages become available. For distributions with the `grubby` command this is done as root with

# grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="initcall_blacklist=algif_aead_init"

This mitigation comes courtesy of Red Hat. Our engineers keep you safe :)

@atax1a i suspect if there's anything i could do to fix this at all it would have to be told to me by someone who understands better what's happening, sorry

@atax1a i'm not sure what i did influenced this at all and it could be something up with the chumby servers, but Duane hasn't said anything about it. FWIW my chumby is displaying the weather channel right now without issue

@atax1a in that case the widget isn't loading at all, and i wonder if you're having the issue i was having, which i don't know what it is: forum.chumby.com/viewtopic.php

@atax1a i'd have to see the trace output to know why it's failing to load info, maybe

@selectric nothing made me realise the scale of the world quite as much as 14 hour transatlantic flights. and then being in awe that i woke up on the other side of the planet

i'm too autistic to be ok with terms that already have meaning get used for different meanings

i don't like that we're calling any small full-featured computer "thin clients" now. that's not what it means

re: ukpol 

we should be educating kids about what dangerous interactions look like and the tools they have to block and report people or disable stranger contact on their own terms. but nah fuck informing and empowering them to keep themselves safe eh. that's too hard. just take away their rights

re: ukpol 

never mind that 99% of such interactions are teens befriending other teens or having totally benign or positive interactions with adults. we're doing stranger danger again baby. oi mate you got a loicense for that human connection you're forming
