My role has recently been shifted as my team has deprioritised upstream linux kernel development and I am looking for a new role as a result.

Over the past couple of years I have been the top contributor to core memory management by patch count and lines of code changed, and the 2nd-top reviewer.

I also wrote a 1,300 page textbook on the linux kernel memory management subsystem - https://nostarch.com/linux-memory-manager

See https://ljs.io/kernel for a detailed list of what I've done, and https://ljs.io/cv.pdf for my up-to-date CV.

I have been heavily involved in the community, where I established the memory management maintainership model, and have given talks at Linux Plumbers, Kernel Recipes and the key memory management conference LSF/MM/BPF.

I have a proven track record of working very effectively upstream and can really help any company who has needs in this area.

If you are interested or know of any opportunities around linux kernel memory management, please reach out!

The Linux Memory Manager

The first serious guide to the Linux memory subsystem in twenty years. Long overdue.

#NSA put together the best possible #advertisement for @turris. They raise the awareness about #Russian military intelligence, and complain about lack of updates and default passwords in home routers.

My #Turris Omnia still receives updates after 9 years!

Americans urged to reboot internet routers by NSA

“Malicious actors may leverage your home network to access personal, private, and confidential information,“ the NSA said.

@nijel You may find it amusing that section titles in Solid Ground are still upside down today.

Claude Code's source code has been leaked via a map file in their NPM registry https://xcancel.com/Fried_rice/status/2038894956459290963 😂

Guess what? Most of code is either slop or even old good regex like for detecting negative sentiment in users prompt which is then logged

These tools are going to replace 80% of all dev jobs and their plugin is gonna maintain all security and banking code? 🤡

If your firewall starts behaving strangely after installing #docker on #opensuse #slowroll, the reason is that firewalld has switched to nft, but docker still uses iptables. You may have to install iptables (the CLI tool) to fix the damage.

One big possible hazard with AI review, as good as it is (minus the noise), is that review is about a LOT more than just bugs/not bugs.

And if it has a chilling effect on review for architectural stuff, code quality etc. then code will rapidly decline in quality.

We don't want every proposal to land :)

How come I hadn't known this gem until I was told today?
