The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

2.1.63 - testing Pentium bug workaround.. (fwd)

So, apparently, the disassembling work has already been done.

(and, from what I read on linux-kernel, the performance hit isn't
all that bad)

I just made 2.1.63 available on the normal ftp site (ftp.kernel.org,
direcoty pub/linux/kernel/v2.1). The most exciting change is probably the
preliminary patch by Ingo Molnar that should work around the by now
well-known Pentium lock-up bug. Many thanks to Ingo who put together the
patch from various snippets of information floating around. 

2.1.63 does other things too: it updates the sound driver and the cyclades
serial port drievr, adds four new SCSI device drivers, and should fix the
worst ncpfs problems (thanks to Bill Hawes, super-programmer). 

Please give it a good testing, especially the Pentium bug workaround. 
Throw all the tests you have at it, to see that it really works. We'll be
doing a 2.0.x patch for that too, but it's probably not going to appear
for a few days, so in the meantime testing this fix on 2.1.x would be a
GoodThing(tm)...
