Catching up with LSMs, and playing with SafeSetID this afternoon.

Going through the separation anxiety stage with the little one, without a support network is certainly 'fun'.

Today's decision is whether it's worse to have CVEs that may not be applicable, or a bug that causes child processes to die in fringe cases.

This weekend, I shall mostly be trying to get Fedora working correctly on a Lenovo Legion laptop. Wish me luck.
