Distro maintainers, and their lackey consumers, who bloat their GNU/Linux
distros with performance degrading security "features" should take note
of the latest exclamations of Linus Torvalds:
"Honestly, I'm pretty damn fed up with buggy hardware and completely theoretical
attacks that have never actually shown themselves to be used in practice."
https://linux.slashdot.org/story/24/10/21/1533228/linus-torvalds-growing-frustrated-by-buggy-hardware-theoretical-cpu-attacksTell 'em, Linus! Those paranoid freaks are ruining desktop computing!
To keep my workstation free of these ridiculous "mitigations" I have
to devote some slightly significant time -- and I don't like it.
At the very least, separate the desktop workstation from the public-facing
sever as these have COMPLETELY DIFFERENT "security" concerns.
I am sick of these "the sky is falling" security-obsessed idiots.
