That's it. There's more you can do, but spend a few days with a proper web browser and a real ad blocker and you'll get it.

In case none of the other dozens upon dozens of reasons to quit Chrome and quit Google before were enough.

The coreutils Rust rewrite story is pretty funny.

Coreutils are tools like rm, mv, mkdir, etc. Unlike binutils, this isn't a fertile ground for memory safety bugs. But, the rewrite was completed, and in the spirit of progress, Canonical decided to switch.

But do you know what coreutils are a fertile ground for? Race conditions around file creation, deletion, permission setting, and so on. The original code accounted for decades of hard-learned lessons in that space. The Rust rewrite did not:

PS. I'm not dunking on Rust. It's just that... starting over from scratch has its hidden costs.

There is no Notepad++ for any Mac, but a vibe-coded port and its sloperator "author" want you to believe otherwise.

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 :)
