When eBPF pt_regs reads return garbage on the latest Linux kernels, blame Fred
TLDR; Starting from Linux kernel version 6.9 on x86_64, there’s a new config option CONFIG_X86_FRED enabled and it adds 16 bytes to the starting point of a task’s kernel stack area, so you’ll need to account for this extra padding in your “raw” kernel stack & pt_regs lookup code.

Re: My AI skeptic friends are all nuts
Re: My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts There was a post recently that was dissing AI Skeptics. While the post is funny at times, I feel like it’s absolutely and completely missing the point of the skepticism. Or at least I feel that it is glossing over some massive pain points of said skepticism. Let’s go over some of…

Hyper Typing
In this article, I talk about an inherent trade-off in TypeScript's type system: stricter types are safer, but often more complex. I describe a phenomenon I call "hyper-typing", where libraries - in pursuit of perfect type safety - end up with overly complex types that are hard-to-understand, produce cryptic errors…

What this thing should be, is a box that runs Linux and can compete with at least an Apple M1 Mac mini, or a mid-range Mini PC. But what we got... is something…
