And here's something to show case how it should work. Still PoC, but usable if you want to give it a try :)

Announcing Sched QoS v0.1-alpha - Qais Yousef

Apple Maps is showing Lebanon as a depopulated place. All village names erased.

Compare Lebanon, Syria and Israel.

Guess nobody lives there, they will need to send Israeli settlers to make the mountains and coastal resort towns flourish.

Israel killed this journalist in Lebanon in a double-tap killing two hours after this report.

Israel does not want their new war of occupation documented.

Reminder. Linux Plumbers CFP is open for Refereed and Kernel Summit talks, as well as for BoFs and Microconference Tracks.

Linux Plumbers Conference

The Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC) is a developer conference for the open source community. The LPC brings together the top developers working on the plumbing of Linux - kernel subsystems, core libraries, windowing systems, etc. - and gives them three days to work together on core design problems. The conference is divided into several working sessions focusing on different plumbing topics, as well as a general paper track.

After tomorrow we'll cover what it takes to get Sched QoS finally done. Having one scheduler that is scalable and portable is not a myth. But to do so we need some help from userspace. And a bunch of other things. Join us in the refereed track at LPC to journey through the various bits and pieces that must be done to get there. Along with a bunch of proposals to tackle some of the trickier areas.

Tomorrow we'll discuss the need of having performance inheritance enabled for locks by default. As it stands kernel work via Proxy Execution is not enough on its own if userspace does not opt in to take advantage of this facility. Come and join us in this discussion, especially if you work with libc or language interpreter (e.g java or go)

The dream of safe C/C++ code is here.

I have been following this development, and I am in awe at how much has been achieved, now available as a package:

'I witnessed war crimes' in Gaza, former worker at GHF [Gaza Humanitarian Foundation] aid site tells BBC.

"I witnessed the Israeli Defense Forces shooting at the crowds of Palestinians," Anthony Aguilar told the BBC.

He added that in his entire career he has never witnessed such a level of "brutality and use of indiscriminate and unnecessary force against a civilian population, an unarmed, starving population".

Gaza: 'I witnessed war crimes,' former worker at GHF aid site tells BBC

A retired US soldier reveals why he quit working at Israel and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid hubs.

Seems pretty fascism-y

Let it be known that I too will accept $2 billion in funding on the promise that I will not release anything until I have created God.
