Blog post: The Linux kernel is just a program
I’ve been working on a "Linux Inside Out" series and wrote a post that might interest folks here who like low(ish)-level / OS internals.
The idea is to dissect the components of a Linux OS, layer by layer, and build a mental model of how everything fits together through experiments.
The first part is about the kernel, in the post I:
* take the same kernel image my distro boots from /boot
* boot it directly with QEMU (no distro, no init system)
* watch it panic
* write a tiny Go program and use it as PID 1
* build a minimal initramfs around it so the kernel can actually start our process
The goal isn’t to build a real distro, just to give a concrete mental model of:
* that the Linux kernel is just a compressed file, you can boot it
* without anything else
* what the kernel actually does at boot
* how it hands control to userspace
* what PID 1 / init is in practice
* what is kernel space vs user space
Link: serversfor.dev/linux-inside-ou…
I’m the author, would be happy to hear from other devs whether this way of explaining things makes sense, and what you’d add or change for future posts in the series.
Hope you find it useful.
The Linux kernel is just a program
Most books and courses introduce Linux through shell commands, leaving the kernel as a mysterious black box doing magic behind the scenes.serversfor.dev

Do you have a ton of bookmarks like me?
I find normal people just Google everything and click the top result. They've never even bookmarked a page.
But for those of us who love the real internet (not corpo-net, as id refer to web 3.0 being), html pages and webrings, theyre often not even searchable any more because of enshittification of search engines.
Are there other ways besides bookmarks ?
Supreme Court allows Texas to use redistricting map challenged as racially discriminatory
The Supreme Court on Thursday gave the green light to Texas’ efforts to be able to use a new congressional map favorable to Republicans in the 2026 elections despite a lower court’s ruling that the map unconstitutionally sorts voters based on race. In a brief, unsigned opinion, a majority of the court granted the state’s request to pause the ruling issued earlier this month by a three-judge district court in El Paso. That ruling had been on hold since Nov. 21, when Justice Samuel Alito – who handles emergency appeals from Texas – temporarily stayed it to give the justices time to consider the state’s request; Wednesday’s decision extends that hold indefinitely.
The court’s five-paragraph order indicated that “Texas is likely to succeed on the merits of its claim that the District Court committed at least two serious errors.” Moreover, it added, the lower court “improperly inserted itself into an active primary campaign, causing much confusion and upsetting the delicate federal-state balance in elections.”
Justice Elena Kagan dissented from the ruling, in an opinion joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Thursday’s order, she said, “announces that Texas may run next year’s elections with a map the District Court found to have violated all our oft-repeated strictures about the use of race in districting. Today’s order,” she continued, “disrespects the work of a District Court that did everything one could ask to carry out its charge—that put aside every consideration except getting the issue before it right.”

Do moderators see posts and comments in every language or only in the ones they selected?
I was thinking about my post “Should I set the language when I post something?” (Is this the right way to link to a post?) again.
Does the way language gets used on Lemmy imply that a moderator would need to select all languages in the settings to prevent them from overlooking some content?
And wouldn't this be very annoying if the same account gets used for non-moderation usage?
Should I set the language when I post something?
On the web I can select the language of a post and comment. The two mobile apps I've tried so far don’t have any language-related features.So I end up posting and commenting with a mix of languages.
Should I just not set any when using the web UI?
like this
Translation costs either money or user data. Probably a political issue.
Personally, I still can't understand why Lemmy needs to deal with post and comment languages anyway. It's a reasonable feature for microblogging. But when you start sorting content into groups (aka boards, communities, etc.), you don't really need to mix different languages to discuss one specific topic.
Netnews and Bulletin Board Systems had language- and location-specific communities. Everyone participating in one of these communities/groups/boards was writing in the same language.

A CDC panel has struck down universal newborn hepatitis B vaccination
The altered Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, without new data to justify a reassessment, will no longer recommend universal hepatitis B vaccination at birth. The committee voted 8–3 to limit vaccination of newborns to those whose mothers test positive for the virus.
For mothers who test negative during pregnancy, ACIP now recommends waiting until their infants are two months of age to give them the first dose. There was no evidence provided at the meeting to support this timing change.

Israel’s Latest Military Tech: Tested in Gaza, Wanted by the West
Man leaving mosque shot dead by IDF in West Bank
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the West Bank announced on Friday that a man was killed by IDF fire in the Palestinian village of Udala, south of Nablus.
Palestinian sources told Haaretz that the deceased, Bahaa Abed al-Rahman Rashed, 38, was fatally shot as he left a mosque in the village.
According to the sources, IDF forces entered the center of the village and surrounded the Udala mosque.
Sources said that the soldiers opened fire and threw tear gas canisters as worshippers left the mosque.
Appeals court okays firings of two independent agency heads
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals said in a 2-to-1 ruling that President Trump acted lawfully in firing two members of independent agencies, despite federal laws that hold they can only be fired for cause, because they wield significant executive power.
The ruling comes as the Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments in a similar case on Monday.
The case decided by the appeals court was brought by Cathy Harris, a Democratic member of the Merit Systems Protection Board, and Gwynne Wilcox, a Democratic member of the National Labor Relations Board. Trump fired both within weeks of taking office but did not cite any permissible reason, such as neglect of duty or malfeasance in office.

'Unauthorized' Edit to Ukraine's Frontline Maps Point to Polymarket's War Betting
A live map that tracks frontlines of the war in Ukraine was edited to show a fake Russian advance on the city of Myrnohrad on November. The edit coincided with the resolution of a bet on Polymarket, a site where users can bet on anything from basketball games to presidential election and ongoing conflicts.
If Russia captured Myrnohrad by the middle of November, then some gamblers would make money. According to the map that Polymarket relies on, they secured the town just before 10:48 UTC on November 15. The bet resolved and then, mysteriously, the map was edited again and the Russian advance vanished.
To adjudicate the real time exchange of territory in a complicated war, Polymarket uses a map generated by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a DC-based think tank that monitors conflict around the globe. The battle around Myrnohrad has dragged on for weeks and Polymarket has run bets on Russia capturing the site since September. News around the pending battle has generated more than $1 million in trading volume for the Polymarket bet "Will Russia capture Myrnohrad."

To adjudicate the real time exchange of territory in a complicated war, Polymarket uses a map generated by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a DC-based think tank that monitors conflict around the globe.
playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TBIEA2…
One of ISW’s most famous products is its live map of the war in Ukraine. The think tank updates the map throughout the day based on a number of different factors including on the ground reports. The map is considered the gold standard for reporting on the current front lines of the conflict, so much so that Polymarket uses it to resolve bets on its website.The battle around Myrnohrad has dragged on for weeks and Polymarket has run bets on Russia capturing the site since September. News around the pending battle has generated more than $1 million in trading volume for the Polymarket bet “Will Russia capture Myrnohrad.” According to Polymarket, “this market will resolve to ‘Yes’ if, according to the ISW map, Russia captures the intersection between Vatutina Vulytsya and Puhachova Vulytsya located in Myrnohrad by December 31, 2025, at 11:59 PM ET. The intersection station will be considered captured if any part of the intersection is shaded red on the ISW map by the resolution date. If the area is not shaded red by December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET, the market will resolve to ‘NO.’” On November 15, just before one of the bets was resolved, someone at ISW edited its map to show that Russia had advanced through the intersection and taken control of it. After the market resolved, the red shading on the map vanished, suggesting someone at ISW editing permissions on the map had tweaked it ahead of the market resolving.
According to Polymarket’s ledger, the market resolved without dispute and paid out its winnings. Polymarket did not immediately respond to 404 Media’s request for a comment about the incident.
ISW acknowledged the stealth edit, but did not say if it was made because of the betting markets. “It has come to ISW’s attention that an unauthorized and unapproved edit to the interactive map of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was made on the night of November 15-16 EST. The unauthorized edit was removed before the day’s normal workflow began on November 16 and did not affect ISW mapping on that or any subsequent day. The edit did not form any part of the assessment of authorized map changes on that or any other day. We apologize to our readers and the users of our maps for this incident,” ISW said in a statement on its website.
ISW did say it isn’t happy that Polymarket is using its map of the war as a gambling resource.
“ISW is committed to providing trusted, objective assessments of conflicts that pose threats to the United States and its allies and partners to inform decision-makers, journalists, humanitarian organizations, and citizens about devastating wars,” the think tank told 404 Media. “ISW has become aware that some organizations and individuals are promoting betting on the course of the war in Ukraine and that ISW’s maps are being used to adjudicate that betting. ISW strongly disapproves of such activities and strenuously objects to the use of our maps for such purposes, for which we emphatically do not give consent.”

Do you know anything else about this story? I would love to hear from you. Using a non-work device, you can message me securely on Signal at +1 347 762-9212 or send me an email at matthew@404media.co.But ISW can’t do anything to stop people from gambling on the outcome of a brutal conflict and the prediction markets are full of gamblers laying money on various aspects of the conflict. Will Russia x Ukraine ceasefire in 2025? has a trading volume of more than $46 million. Polymarket is trending “no.” Will Russia enter Khatine by December 31? is a smaller bet with a little more than $5,000 in trading volume.
Practically every town and city along the frontlines of the war between Russia and Ukraine has a market and gamblers with an interest in geopolitics can get lost in the minutia about the war. To bet on the outcome of a war is grotesque. On Polymarket and other predictive gambling sites, millions of dollars trade hands based on the outcomes of battles that kill hundreds of people. It also creates an incentive for the manipulation of the war and data about the war. If someone involved can make extra cash by manipulating a map, they will. It’s 2025 and war is still a racket. Humans have just figured out new ways to profit from it.

A suggestion: if you can't find anything else for them, keep them around as parts machines.
There should still be useful components in them. For instance, a lot of the Wi-Fi modems may still be perfectly good for other things as long as they're mini-PCIE (I don't know if they use those in desktops). They may not be the absolute newest standard, but should still do the trick; it certainly came in handy when my sister's laptop's Wi-Fi modem decided to be a brat - I just swapped in an Intel modem from a laptop from 2016.
I might not fully trust the SSDs or the HDDs, but they can still have their uses. There's one SSD from an old desktop that I currently have hooked up to my Wii U.

Here's my rule of piracy if you're buying something
- You're really passionate about the product and you really want to support the developer or publisher
- The game gets frequent updates which you see value in which causes issues whenever you have to download updates separately from another site
- there is some type of online or connect feature that you cannot get offline that you see value in... This can be mods or multiplayer etc
Or if you want to play a game on a steam deck and it's really cheap. After all, you and I both know it's incredibly easy to play something on steam deck straight from Steam rather than having to shortcut to a pirated exe

[Jacobin] Citizenship by Algorithm: Narendra Modi transformed India’s biometric ID system from a tool for promoting social welfare into a mechanism of mass surveillance and disenfranchisement.
Archive link in case anyone hits a paywall.
This article is from September, but it is good, and in light of other recent efforts by the Indian government at mass surveillance of their population, I think it is worth a read.
A system like Aadhaar is a great way for governments to sneak in a platform of surveillance and control under the guise of welfare and could serve as a model for other governments seeking to supercharge their own surveillance efforts.

After Years of Controversy, the EU’s Chat Control Nears Its Final Hurdle: What to Know
Cross posted from: feddit.uk/post/40600495
After a years-long battle, the European Commission’s “Chat Control” plan, which would mandate mass scanning and other encryption-breaking measures, at last codifies agreement on a position within the Council of the EU, representing EU States. The good news is that the most controversial part, the forced requirement to scan encrypted messages, is out. The bad news is there’s more to it than that.
Chat Control has gone through several iterations since it was first introduced, with the EU Parliament backing a position that protects fundamental rights, while the Council of the EU spent many months pursuing an intrusive law-enforcement-focused approach. Many proposals earlier this year required the scanning and detection of illicit content on all services, including private messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Signal. This requirement would fundamentally break end-to-end encryption.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of digital rights groups, including European Digital Rights (EDRi), we won a significant improvement: the Council agreed on its position, which removed the requirement that forces providers to scan messages on their services. It also comes with strong language to protect encryption, which is good news for users.

The truth is, the fascists will always relentlessly find another crevice to stick their dirty hands into. A compromise with fascists isn't a win - it's a defeat with extra steps. Their so called "risk mitigation" is essentially another way in achieving the exact same thing from another angle.
That being said; the war continues. And while it is good that we avoided this policy - we'll never actually win until we change something.

Israel remains in Eurovision
Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands and Slovenia will boycott next year's Eurovision Song Contest, after Israel was allowed to compete.
They were among a number of countries who had called for Israel to be excluded over the humanitarian toll of the war in Gaza, and accusations of unfair voting practices.
Despite calls for a vote on Israel's participation, members instead approved a new set of rules intended to protect the integrity of the contest.
Ireland's national broadcaster RTE said it felt that its "participation remains unconscionable given the appalling loss of lives in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis there which continues to put the lives of so many civilians at risk."
In a statement, Dutch broadcaster Avrotros said that "participation under the current circumstances is incompatible with the public values that are essential to us".
Spanish broadcaster RTVE added: "The board of directors of RTVE agreed last September that Spain would withdraw from Eurovision if Israel was part of it."
"This withdrawal also means that RTVE will not broadcast the Eurovision 2026 final... nor the preliminary semi-finals."

With respect:
I want to be careful here not to discourage you, this is great exploration!
I realize I'm handing out unsolicited advice here, but when I was first learning about Unix/Linux kernels in the Solaris and HP/UX days, the thing that helped the process "click" for me was compiling a kernel and building an ELF. And if you're going to continue on this journey (which I hope you do), you should probably read a bit on memory segmentation and broadly about assembly instructions.
Good luck!

in reply to non_burglar • • •Thank you for the feedback!
My goal with this series is to make Linux internals more approachable, so I’m intentionally keeping each post narrow and avoiding details that would overwhelm readers at this stage.
The primary target audience of these blog posts are developers, and I have a progression plan in mind how to build up layer by layer the necessary knowledge they need to know to understand how they program work/interact with the other parts of the OS. The boot process or the exact composition of the kernel image is irrelevant here in my opinion, they wont need to touch them on a VPS for example or on their dev machine.
Regarding the kernel space/user space I did not write that the kernel space stopped, I will come back to it in the next post that will be about system calls, we will discuss there that when our programs interact with the kernel we are switching between user and kernel mode back and forth, with the syscall instruction (on x86-64 systems).
Anyway, I really appreciate your feedback and that you put effort into it, and thank you for reading the post! 😀
