For those that are finding the initial #CopyFail Python exploit test code a bit clunky e.g. requires correct path to su, Python, etc., in our testing today at #DayJob we found this exploit code written in C more reliable and less fiddly when testing multiple systems:

It can be compiled into a single binary and does not require an external SUID binary or interpreter.
Hi, my name is Michel, and I (reluctantly) use #LLM
Since I'm about to announce the existence of some tools I wrote to help with some workflows in the Linux distribution space, I figure it's only fair if I first write about why I ended up (having to) use LLM.

the old pen resists but the cursor blinks, waiting— I press Enter. Fine. ~ Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) If you know where I work, you’ve probably heard of news reports that we will be judged on AI-driven impact. I’ll let you drawn your own conclusion on how much truth there is in the reports, but you can listen to what Zuck said about AI in a recent earnings report.
I have not got round to blogging for a few months, so of course I did not have my #NewYearResolutions written up and published (but hey #Nowruz is still a few weeks away!) - but one #NewYearResolution that will definitely be on that list is - I will definitely reprioritize my community involvement to favour those where I can discuss things without being ambushed by hearing about #AI_slop over and over again
For #DayJob, realistically it's hard to avoid AI mandates, but for community contributions... hmm...

for my current main #homelab system, I did go the expensive ECC route. Well, I thought it was expensive about a year ago. Main reason is that in my #dayjob we do have quite a number of systems reporting both correctable and uncorrectable ECC errors from time to time.
Thus, I do think it's worthwhile but at the moment not so much 😦
