I think these articles are more aimed at the postmortem aspect; reading about a bug that happened so you can try to avoid it when you're designing a similar system. So it doesn't really matter that it affects Linux, or what io_uring is, etc. The lesson is relevant even if you use Foobian GNU/OpenBSD emulated under Windows 11 on an M2 Mac. If you are just looking for notifications that you should patch your system, you probably want a method other than HN for that -- you will miss a lot of critical patches.
