    @lx It's probably gonna be some time until we see fixes. Spectre's apparently hard to exploit, but also hard to fix:

    See http://kroah.com/log/blog/2018/01/06/meltdown-status/
    TLDR: Numerous patches on the mailing lists, some don't even build, kernel devs worked on #Meltdown first, had no real info in #Spectre, no upstream fixes yet

    1. An update on ongoing Meltdown and Spectre work
      By Laura Abbott from Fedora Magazine
      Last week, a series of critical vulnerabilities called Spectre and Meltdown were announced. Because of the nature of these issues, the solutions are complex and requires fixing delicate code. The fixes for Meltdown are mostly underway. The Meltdown fix for... Continue Reading →

    This seems like a fine time to remind people that Ben Eater made an entire video series on building an 8-bit programmable computer from simple TTL chips (including detailed explanations of logic gates)

    Best of all, it's #Meltdown and #Spectre proof

    Quick update re: #debian mitigations for the CPU issues:

    #meltdown

    > Debian kernel team has worked to mitigate Meltdown in all suites. This mitigation is currently limited to kernels running in 64-bit mode (amd64 architecture)

    > wheezy, jessie, jessie-backports, stretch and unstable/sid are fixed

    #spectre

    > Mozilla has started mitigating Spectre in Firefox and some of these changes are now in Debian unstable (version 57.0.4-1). Chromium has also started mitigating Spectre but no such changes have landed in Debian yet.

    Suing people for having vulnerabilities always bothers me. Equifax should be hammered HARD - they made a big pile of PII and then were negligent. But Intel found out a thing had unexpected consequences. How do you separate those ideas?

    I find it kinda funny how computers are supposed to do exactly what you tell them to, but because SPEEEED, someone told the computers to guess ahead of time what might happen, instead of just doing what the instructions actually says.

    And now everyone is hurting, because we told computers to do stuff we didn't ask them to.

    I'm currently super pissed off at #Intel/#Linux/#Microsoft.

    So many of the shipping "fixes" for #Meltdown and #Spectre are causing noticeable problems such as "programs aren't starting" and "things take 30x longer".

    I'm afraid this will kick off another round of "nobody should install updates!" We had *just* gotten out of that habit :/.
