I am doubtful about the agency of the commenters here. Does not seem natural, more like a group of bots / paid russian trolls.

It doesn’t. Russians are still free to use and contribute to Linux development. Just a few people lost their maintainer rights.

The fork has no hope of survival. Are you telling me Russia’s Ministry of Digital Development can maintain a project of this size? lol, rofl even.

Why bother? Backporting security updates or updating packages is work and in case of debian often unpaid. Trixie is for testing new packages and configurations, does not make a ton of sense to keep everything up to date.

PoC on 32 bit requires thousands of authentication attempts, so any sane firewall should protect you against it already. Afaik there isnt any for 64 bit

What the fuck you just killed me

Storage efficiency, faster queries, more metadata, unified format, etc. If your host breaks, you can download the journals and open then elsewhere. Also, there is nothing stopping you from configuring it to output to a file.

Good take
