Took a little longer than intended, but here's part six in the Clone Wars series. This time I'm looking at the "obfuscated kernel" episode way back in 2011 as well as the role of the Linux kernel in the RHEL 6 time frame. Plus kpatch and ksplice, and Novell (er, SUSE's) first RHEL support offer.
A lot has changed since then, and also very little.

Announcing Clipper: a TLS-transparent HTTP debugging tool for native applications. With Clipper, you can attach Chrome DevTools to most native applications performing HTTP requests, with any HTTP library, with no configuration.
This is done by sticking the app in a container, escrowing the keys using LD_PRELOAD tricks, intercepting the traffic of the container, then simply decrypting it.

We spend far too much time dreading what our #climate future *may* look like instead of envisioning better outcomes & working together to achieve them.
Yes, we need to hear about extreme storms, floods, droughts & biodiversity loss. But there’s more to climate change than doomsday narratives.
We must highlight the incredible work being done by scientists, innovators & communities to meet these challenges.
I’ve been focused on climate for over 2 decades & feel hopeful. blogs.scientificamerican.com/o…
