Not really if that's an attack you're concerned about, because guests can attack the hypervisor via the same mechanisms. You would need to gang schedule to ensure all threads of a core were only either in host or guest.

Carpentry, cabinet making, building a house, are not very precise. And they can be quite varied in terms of exactly what sinks and stoves and other fittings are wanted where. It wouldn't be feasible to get exact measurements, send them

Twitter has not been some revolutionary (in the political sense) device since long before Musk bought it, if it ever was. Actually the opposite, it was shown to act as an arm of the states that support the status quo.

How much do you actually know about this? Have you read the ELF spec or written anything with libelf, hacked on a loader, a linker? Considered the actual problems with having this hard coded vs alternatives? I ask because ELF and unix dynam

Well dynamic linking and most things in unix is an afterthought by definition because the first unix system did not have them. That doesn't seem to be what you mean though in context, but I'm not sure what you do mean. You don&#x2

The problem is, when they've divided the country so completely, they have 50% of the population cheering them on no matter who they are "getting back at". Sad.

Do I have it right that they ship their own hypervisor (that's based on maybe Solaris, not KVM) as firmware? Let's assume a very small team can compete on a technical level, it still seems like it could cut out a lot of the potent

I think about flat since Labour was last in power, yes. And it is adjusted for inflation. Seems to have been no real "defunding" going on. And if it was underfunded in the first place, a 3x adjusted increase in spending must have
