They blacklist some bootloaders, but it takes them forever. CVE-2023-24932 (from May 2023) had a fix available a year later (June 2024), had the update broadly made available through standard updates in 2025 (2 years later) and doesn't

The fact it couldn't actually stick to the 16 bit ABI so it had to cheat and call out to GCC to get the system to boot says a lot. Without enough examples to copy from (despite CPU manuals being available in the training set) the appro

The (somewhat affordable) productized NASes all suffer from big tech diseases. I think a lot of people underestimate how easy a "NAS" can be made if you take a standard PC, install some form of desktop Linux, and hit "share&q

The argon2id issue remains an annoying problem (AFAIK Grub still doesn't support argon2id), but for tools like Timeshift there are Grub scripts to also boot BTRFS snapshots.

systemd is most certainly the most pragmatic service to learn, but if you're doing LFS to "learn" how a Linux system gets brought up, something lower-level may be a better idea to pick up.

I don't mind the inevitable death of System V. It's an archaic relic of the Linux era. Going systemd-only is not necessarily a good choice (though I do understand it from a practical point of view). There are other, better alterna
