Modern commercial aviation is extremely safe because of investigators and regulators banning this "well the pilot just fucked up" explanation and instead looking at systemic factors. As pointed out in the article, if the pilot was

I stopped using atop when I found it installs several hooks which automatically run code as root and deposit files around the filesystem, including a "power management" hook.

Yeah, it seems like it could be implemented as a postprocessor of strace --decode-fds. Knowing what each syscall does isn't really the hard part of strace, it's knowing which ones are important, which ones are part of libc itself

it would be most convenient to have no 2FA. hell, skip the password too, then nobody will forget theirs. security is tradeoffs, but NIST says "if you take security seriously, you should not use SMS 2FA".

This is interesting, but I'm not sure it actually makes much difference for realistic workloads. ffmpeg probably has the most link-time dynamic linking of any Linux package, and ffmpeg -loglevel quiet takes only ~40 ms on Alpine and ~6

This sounds like a Windows problem, plus compression settings. Your wlog is 24 instead of 21, meaning decompression will use more memory. After adjusting those for a fair comparison, pack still wins slightly but not massively: Benchmark

Also, 4.7 seconds to read 1345 MB in 81k files is suspiciously slow. On my six-year-old low/mid-range Intel 660p with Linux 6.8, tar -c /usr/lib >/dev/null with 2.4 GiB in 49k files takes about 1.25s cold and 0.3

you could also say that "supports linux" allowed them to discover and remedy this vulnerability which would likely have still existed without linux support, thus making the device stronger for both windows and linux users.

PSI is exported by the kernel to track context switches: switch to idle process = io wait, switch to kswapd = mem wait, switch to other runnable process = cpu wait. these are already visible to the kernel, it just needs to increment some co
