    I picked up Silent Hill: Townfall on a whim and while it&amp;#39;s not without flaws, it nails the feeling of 90s working class Britain (when it&amp;#39;s not just nailing the feeling of desperation required of a horror game)

    Spent the morning debugging a confusing networking problem (ARPs from VM not being bridged onto the network). Turns out: NIC driver&amp;#39;s haunted. Newer kernel exorcises the bug.

    Because the responsible disclosure schedule and the embargo have been broken, no patch exists for any distribution. Use the following command to remove the modules in which the vulnerabilities occur. sh -c &amp;quot;printf &amp;#39;install esp4 /bin/false\ninstall esp6 /bin/false\ninstall rxrpc /bin/false\n&amp;#39; &amp;gt; /etc/modprobe.d/dirtyfrag.conf; rmmod esp4 esp6 rxrpc 2&amp;gt;/dev/null; true&amp;quot; but but but… I actually have ipsec tunnels :akko_cry: RE: https://social.infinite...
