Interesting deep dive in where the PIDs seen in user space come from. And also yes, there is something matching PID 0 which can be traced back to early UNIX systems.
Interesting results. It's especially nice to see how sched-ext allows to easily iterate and experiment with process scheduling strategies.
The often forgotten history behind the creation of Git. This article does a good job summarizing it.
Definitely a recent and lesser known to interact with other processes. Could be useful in some cases.
Indeed the next systemd release feels feature packed. Definitely to keep an eye on.
This can sometimes be confusing. Here are a couple of tips about debugging rpath and linker errors.
There is indeed a jungle of virtual filesystems nowadays. That doesn't make it easy to filter only for the "real" ones.
Good reminder that you want the diagnosis tools in place and working before you get an actual problem in production.
An old article, but a fascinating read. This gives a good account on the evolution of POSIX and Win32. The differences in design and approaches are covered. Very much recommended.
Interesting, I didn't know that user space schedulers were coming to Linux. It opens the door to exciting experiments.
This is an interesting VirtualBox fork for Linux. Using KVM as backend should bring interesting benefits.
Interesting paper for a new fork implementation in Linux.
I like this kind of rabbit holes. This gives a few interesting information on how forking processes behaves on Linux.
Funny reverse engineering of the latest SteamOS to use it in a different context. Give some information on their system design.
Interesting deep dive about how network stacks work in kernel or in user land. Also provides some insight on how to improve the kernel stack.
Very needed evangelization. Go forth and make apps for Linux!
Interesting, the situation for kernel maintainers is actually harder than I thought. You'd expect more of them could do the maintainer job on work time...
Interesting and unfortunate security issue... This is admittedly a somewhat unusual setup though, but to be kept in mind I think.
Indeed, at this point it's not that people don't want to switch. Very often they just don't have a choice.
Don't be fooled of the title. Yes, it concludes about an opinion piece about the latest changes in policy around RHEL. Still, it starts with a very nice retelling of the history around UNIX and computing since the 70s. This is an invaluable resource.
