Thanks for that, but there is nothing on that page I can actually read
without lowering my uBlock "shield".  I'm going to check out LWN.  In
any case, my processor is much older than Ryzen or EPYC so I'm not too
worried now.

Jake Williams, founder and president of Rendition Infosec, commented on the
above quoted disclaimer via Twitter
, saying, "I'm
pretty well convinced that this is designed to manipulate stock prices.
That doesn't make the vulnerabilities fake or any less dangerous (though
you need admin access to exploit most)."

Arrigo Triulzi, a security consultant based in Switzerland, described
 the paper
as "over-hyped beyond belief" and added, "This is a whitepaper worthy of an
ICO [cryptocurrency initial coin offering]. And yes, that is meant to be an
insult."

Google security researcher Tavis Ormandy, responding to Triulzi wrote
, "Nothing in this
paper matters until the attacker has already won so hard it's game over.
Not something I'm too interested in, but maybe DFIR [Digital Forensics and
Incident Response] people are?"

Ormandy is referring to the fact that exploiting these supposed flaws
require local administrative access, making them significantly less
dangerous than vulnerabilities that can be exploited by a remote,
unprivileged user.

Dan Guido / Trail of Bits was paid to review the exploits and has confirmed
they work. I don't think he'd burn his reputation on this.

The language around AMD shares being worth $0 is clearly absurd and that
source should be ignored.

Here is a non-shortened link.

All the more reason to avoid the ME/PSP garbage and instead buy the 
equivalently priced, owner controlled and higher performance OpenPOWER 
arch systems such as the libre firmware TALOS 2.


Pretty much someone found a bug in AMD's version of ME which *how 
terrible* in other words you can use this to defeat hollywoods AMD PSP 
DRM which is the true reason of existence for ME/PSP, to prevent people 
from owning and controlling their devices.


I can't believe the new normal is not being able to really buy a 
mainstream computer because you don't own it and everyone in the tech 
press and so called experts says its a good thing, oh it is to "keep you 
safe from hackers" and they pretend like it has always been this way as 
if it wasn't just a recent change that for some reason all the major 
OEM's did at the exact same timeI wonder why.


"The corporate sector asked for this" - MYTH - They already had it, it 
is a BMC/LOM chip and it was owner controlled. I doubt any company with 
IP worth something wants a super insecure black box supervisor processor 
that they don't control on every computer of theirs.



If you need secure remote management you can use OpenBMC which is 
present on the TALOS 2 (IBM OpenBMC) and also the KCMA-D8 and KGPE-D16 
pre-PSP x86 boards (you can replace the crappy non-free ASUS firmware on 
the ASMB module with the facebook version of OpenBMC which was recently 
ported to it via crowdfunding)

" emerge -uDNavq world" appears to be working (and new "portage" is there).
I have 428-packages to emerge so it will take some time.

But I was under impression I need to emerge "portage" before anything else.

Do you have PYTHON_TARGETS or PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET set anywhere? If so,
unset it. Try "grep -r PYTHON /etc/portage/make.conf"

Once you have unset those variables, try a world update rather than
trying to cherry pick when you think needs to be updated.

That's not an error, just portage informing you that a package is not
being upgraded and why. This happens all the time, where packages depend
older versions of their dependencies.

After unmerging some old packages, "emerge -u @system" seems to be
working, THANKS
Though, I think I'm not out of the "woods" yet.

It was nice not to worry about upgrades for a while, but after,
upgrading an old system takes double amount of work.

The  "emerge -u @system" finished without any problems.
But:

Your old version of gentoolkit (and other packages mentioned in the full
output) is causing this. Trying to upgrade an out of date system
piecemeal can cause this. Just do an emerge -u @system and let portage
resolve these issues rather than trying to do it yourself.

Re: [gentoo-user] Brother Printer AMD64

[Vadim A. Misbakh-Soloviov]

Well, depends on your printer and exact driver you prefer to use.

I've just set up my HL-L5100DN as "Generic PostScript Printer Foomatic/
Postscript" and it works like a charm. Is it any reason for you to use 
proprietary drivers?

Change the options and see if that works?

IOW, you haven't patched your main server against any threads in the past 6+ 
months.
