Back when I was poking around with filesystem fuzzing stuff years back, I noticed something odd:
An EXT filesystem can tell the Linux OS how it should behave "if" the filesystem is corrupt, including triggering a kernel panic. In a world where USB thumb drives exist, this seems... not ideal.
Let's see what happens if we plug such a mass storage device into a fully patched Chromebook in 2024...

Government building storming attempt in Abkhazia (breakaway from Georgia intended to be subjugated or annexed to Russia) as the people demand withdrawal of an "Investment Treaty" with Russia which seems to mean Russia's capitalists could just buy up Abkhazia piecemeal in yet another step towards the subjugation/annexation.
The people broke through the fence and threw eggs at the repression forces who threw chemical grenades at the people who then threw those back. At least 8 people injured.
Reportedly the speaker and vice-speaker fled. After that the people demand resignation of the Putinist president.

Just, for those who missed it, these huge protests at parliament of Georgia aren't new.
The most recent time, AFAIK, they stormed parliament a bit todon.eu/@b9AcE/11236790095178… (thread) around May 1 but also similar before that too long back for me to want to go find among my old toots now.
Then there was also this storming of government building in Abkhazia, breakaway from Georgia for the intent of becoming subjugated or annexed to Russia, which lead to the president there resigning todon.eu/@b9AcE/11350551587253… in mid-November.

The "Special Investigation Service" (sis.gov.ge/en/?lng=eng) launched an investigation against the battery on the press in Tbilisi earlier.
Police also made some claim that the area must be cleared for "security", but then it seems like everyone ignored the police's obvious exploitation of the attack for ulterior motives.
A video at that time reportedly showed what appeared to be police on duty near the scene of the attack then.
The protesters responded by gathering in a park where there was said to have been an attack, then splitting up to look for "titushki" attackers.
According to SOVA:
Protester: "A man was almost killed, 30 people were beaten, and you say you didn't see?! Then why are you standing here?!
How can we protect ourselves?! Then give me that weapon! Handcuffs, a gun, and a baton! And we will protect ourselves! We have nothing! There is you, your uniform! So protect us!"
Cop: "Okay, we'll definitely do it."
One of the battered, apparently a well known actor (actually an actor as their job, not saying this is an act...): "You just watched! 30 people beat me with batons, and you watched! And when I come to you and tell you about it, you answer that you passed on information. What did you pass on?! You allow a person to be killed, and then you pass on something?!"
That's extremely fair.

It is cold, but they have the balls to keep warm.
In reference to the current single-candidate rubber-stamping of a new president by the illegitimate Putinist "Georgian Dream" who only managed to keep power by blatant cheating in the recent elections, where they will decide ex-footballer Mikheil Kavelashvili is president instead of the nowadays only high ranking politician actually legitimately elected by the people, President Salome, who does of course not recognize the illegitimate politicians' choosing of a replacement president.
The balls and the red cards are of course references to football (or "soccer" to those who think football is played mostly with hands), while people have also brought their higher education diplomas on display in reference to that the footballer was ineligible for the post of being president due to not being able to show having higher education as required by the constitution (same as Erdoğan of Turkey, by the way... unelectable due to unable to prove graduation from university as required by constitution, yet still rules).
The people have also been banned from covering their faces, while it's snowing and the repression forces can and do.

Came across another great podcast episode while restoring my web-site. I interviewed @pluralistic about his first crowd funded publishing experiment, the short story collection, *With a Little Help*.
yesterday marked a huge day in with the development of exigy - a design feature i've had stashed in the back of my head for years, but haven't had the programming expertise to take advantage of it: loading code into existing objects at runtime.
this was the reason I chose Lua for building the engine/tooling day one: it has several functions that allow runtime inclusion and compilation of new code. it isn't done via any special process or hacky code injection - it uses all the same functions that are used when you require/include external scripts at compile time.
so as of today, exigy is capable of doing the one thing i wanted that no other game toolkit/engine does well: let me fiddle around with code while the game is running, and seeing what happens when the code changes, *without* recompiling.
thank you to @ThreeOhFour who introduced me to the exceptionally weird Else Heart.Break(). it was the realtime in-game code editor in that game that led to this IDE design feature. below: screenshot from Else Heart.Break()

A new report by UK #NGO #Airwars has extensively analysed all available data about the victims of 606 "incidents of civilian harm" (mainly Israeli airstrikes) that were recorded in #Gaza over the first 25 days of the escalation back in October 2023.
The newly published report found that a minimum of 5,137 civilians were confirmed killed in the strikes. (There were likely considerably more whose bodies were never recovered, or who have subsequently died of their injuries, or who have died due to the collapse of the healthcare system that began in these strikes). The victims included over 1,900 children, a toll for children around seven times greater than any previous month of warfare anywhere in the world analysed by Airwars (which was established in 2014). Gaza is by far the most intense and deadly conflict for civilians over this period.
Out of all those confirmed killed in the 606 incidents analysed in the report, Airwars found the number of #Palestinian militants (Hamas or otherwise) was between 30 and 58, meaning combatants were only 0.6%–1.1% of all deaths (=98.9–99.4% civilian death rate for these airstrikes).
This data does not point to a military that is attempting to limit civilian casualties, rather than opposite.
@heretical_i @palestine I am citing a wide-quoted figure of 30,000 Hamas combatants, without intending to comment on its accuracy.
My point is that if you take that claim at face value (made repeatedly by Israeli military and political figures and cited endlessly in Western media) then you would expect that a random sample of 5,000 people in Gaza in early Oct 2023 would contain a minimum of ~1.3% people who might be considered combatants.
So the fact that this report found that these 606 incidents of civilian harm killed a far lower proportion of combatants than that shows that the Israeli military are either utterly atrocious at targeting, or are not really targeting combatants at all. The latter would be completely unsurprising to anyone who had been paying attention to the scores of examples of Israeli political and military leaders making outright genocidal statements during this period.
@heretical_i @palestine Yes, I agree. And this report brings mountains of evidence to demonstrate (once again) just how comprehensively that is true, and has been all along.
And it's important to have this kind of analysis because I suspect that there will come a day when western media and political elites seek to distance themselves from their full-throated support for this genocide, and one predictable line of (false) argument would be to say that the escalation of Israeli violence from the 7th October was initially targeted against the perpetrators of various war crimes, and only later devolved into genocide and ethnic cleansing, hence western support for this violence was also initially justifiable. But that will be a(nother) lie, because there was little attempt made by Israeli political and military figures to hide their genocidal intentions from the outset, and because the pattern of civilians harms documented in this report show definitively what was possible to grasp simply from looking at pictures of the devastating intense bombing campaign that began on 7th October: namely, that their stated intentions were being put into horrific reality.

Solvent-based gravure printing inks consist of pigments, resins, additives, and a significant amount of solvents, making the ink relatively thin. The drying process of solvent-based gravure inks is volatile, which makes them suitable for printing on paper, films, aluminum foil, and other materials. Given that gravure printing presses operate at high speeds and deposit a thick ink layer, it is essential to understand the impact of ink properties like thixotropy, flowability, viscosity, and drying speed on print quality. This knowledge is crucial for enhancing the quality of printed materials.
Thixotropy
Thixotropy refers to the change in the flow properties of ink under the influence of external forces. Specifically, it is the phenomenon in which a suspension or dispersion thins when stirred and thickens again when left undisturbed.
Generally, high-quality inks have low thixotropy, allowing them to be used directly on the press without special treatment. However, inks without thixotropy tend to experience sedimentation, which is not ideal. In general, white, yellow, and cyan inks have low thixotropy, while magenta and black inks exhibit higher thixotropy.
The thixotropy of inks is influenced by the following factors:
Flowability
The flowability of solvent-based gravure printing inks is a comprehensive reflection of factors such as relative density, viscosity, thixotropy, and cohesion. To achieve optimal flowability, the ink must have suitable viscosity, good pigment wettability, and a balanced pigment concentration, while minimizing thixotropy.
When testing the flowability of ink, aside from measuring its flow time using a #4 or Zahn #3 cup, the amount of ink remaining on the cup wall compared to the amount that flowed out is also important. With a fixed viscosity, the smaller the ratio of retained ink to flowing ink, the better the flowability.
If the ink’s flowability is poor, printing faults such as uneven ink transfer or print defects are likely to occur.
Viscosity
Viscosity in solvent-based gravure inks is closely related to flowability, and maintaining the correct viscosity is key to ensuring effective ink transfer. Although many factors, such as resin type, ink adhesion, printing speed, pressure, substrate material, and environmental conditions, influence ink transfer, viscosity remains a critical factor. The relationship between viscosity and transfer rate is depicted in the diagram below.
Factors affecting viscosity in solvent-based gravure inks include:
Conversely, high viscosity can cause issues like scratching, color bleeding, plate flooding, and “orange peel” defects.
Conclusion
In the design and production of solvent-based gravure printing inks, it is crucial to select compatible pigments, resins, and solvents to achieve the desired initial viscosity. Printers should use appropriate solvent blends, preferably provided by the original ink manufacturer, to adjust the ink to its optimal “working viscosity” for printing. This ensures high-quality printed results.
Furthermore, ink viscosity is also influenced by printing speed. Typically, faster printing speeds require lower ink viscosity to achieve optimal ink transfer.
Solvent-based gravure printing inks are volatile inks, meaning that when solvents evaporate from the wet ink film, it transitions from liquid to solid. The rate at which solvents evaporate directly affects the drying speed of the ink.
In designing and manufacturing solvent-based gravure printing inks, a mix of medium, low, and high boiling-point solvents is typically chosen to meet drying requirements. Incorrect resin selection, low softening points, poor solvent release from resins, or excessive high-boiling solvents can slow down solvent evaporation and result in residual solvent in the cured ink film.
When formulating solvent-based gravure printing inks, resins are typically selected first, followed by solvents. Solvents with similar solubility parameters to the materials being dissolved tend to dissolve more easily and evaporate faster. However, the presence of pigments reduces solvent evaporation rates, especially if the pigments are large.
Additionally, environmental factors such as higher ambient temperature, lower relative humidity, and faster air circulation increase the evaporation rate of solvents.
Explore our book printing services on the printing in China page.
Common printing issues caused by improper drying include:
Under normal production conditions, if ink dries too quickly, slow-drying diluents should be added. If ink dries too slowly, fast-drying diluents should be used. Where possible, printing environments should be controlled between 18-25°C, with relative humidity kept below 65% to stabilize ink performance.

in reply to Mr. Bitterness • • •It's funny (and rather cringe-inducing) to us infosec folks, but to 99% of developers they will always say "why would anyone do that?"
The vast majority just truly have no concept that anyone might want to act maliciously. If the engineer themself wouldn't perform a malicious action, they cannot conceive that anyone else would.
I have run into this issue so many times during my career. I now assume that no engineer will ever consider possible malicious actions taken against their code. To the extent that they do consider malicious actions, it will only be things that they themselves would do.

in reply to Mr. Bitterness • • •Modern Linux distros aren't really affected by this. At least in a drive-by sense. Auto-mounting is handled in a safer way than simply telling the kernel to mount the filesystem you just plugged in.
For example, compare the Ubuntu 22.04 behavior (complain that the filesystem is corrupt) vs. Ubuntu 20.04 (panic and reboot). For modern Linux to see the panic, you'd have to manually mount the filesystem (as root/sudo).
ChromeOS, on the other hand, chooses the more YOLO route of auto-mounting via the kernel.

in reply to Mr. Bitterness • • •weirdly enough, I foresaw the "logic flaw" due to weird issues with VMs and moving disks around where the policy of the source would affect the destination
I just forgot that "cause a kernel panic" was an option instead of "fail to mount/lazy unmount"

in reply to Mr. Bitterness • • •I thought that is only for errors during operation…
… let me guess, the OS is trying to access things on the fs to do things like provide icons and stats?

in reply to Mr. Bitterness • • •I can even see the use case for such a feature - if filesystem integrity is more critical than availability
but honestly, I see very little use case for a desktop operating system respecting
-e panic, and almost no use case for anything to respect it on removable media unless explicitly opted into by the user - fall back to-e remount-roor unmount it IMO, but not a panic.Quixoticgeek

in reply to Mr. Bitterness • • •I remember testing that feature before I had a computer with USB. It also works with floppies.
There is a mount option which can override that behavior. If that mount option is specified the value specified on the file system itself has no effect.
It's a questionable feature. I think it would make sense to remove the ability to specify it on the file system. Having the mount option makes some kind of sense.

in reply to Mr. Bitterness • • •damn. I was waiting for the video to loop or precisely: the notebook stay in a panic-reboot-loop. Some minutes later: Chrome OS isnt rebooting that slowly, right?...
... no. The video just stopped. Feels like bamboozled on 9gag.

in reply to Mr. Bitterness • • •ZFS also provides a pool parameter for failmode:
failmode=wait | continue | panic
Less risk though, because USB zpools aren't automounted.

in reply to Mr. Bitterness • • •You made a Panicstick.
I had an external hard drive that did that when plugged into my Macbook Pro, back when people still used Apple stuff. But only if I used USB 3.0. So by using a USB 2.0 cable I could avoid the panic and access my data. That was most likely a USB host bug though rather than a filesystem feature (it was using HFS+ anyways).

in reply to Mr. Bitterness • • •This kind of thing is why my personal CI engine uses tar archives to get data out of the virtual machine where the CI run happens. The tar archive may be corrupt, but it it's really difficult for that to corrupt or crash the kernel.
(I know there's ways to trick software that extracts tar archives to overwrite files, and other problems, but I rely on the system tar, which is usually the GNU one, to do this well. If the system tar is vulnerable, that's a whole world of pain in itself.)

What is this Linux OS you speak of?
After all, the kernel, Linux doesn't operate on its own and therefore it cannot possible be and *operating* system.
Chromebooks run Gentoo GNU/Linux with the freedom removed.
