"We disabled PIE on nodejs for a 0.3% perf win on an obsolete register-starved architecture that is used by nobody"
Replying to @julianor
nodejs linux official builds are no-pie by default for perf reasons. some distributions like debian/alpine rebuild node, which can enable pie here's a tracking issue for it: github.com/nodejs/node/issue…

I love you @intel. 16x Intel Gaudi2 HL-225 bedroom setup. Totaling 1.5TB HBM2e with 38.4TB/s memory bandwidth. Perfect for GLM and Qwen. 38.4Tbps bisection bandwidth on UBB, 2.4Tbps QSFP-DD scaleout. Total cost less than 2x RTX PRO 6000.

Je veux un dictateur, j’en ai marre de la démocratie. Je veux un type qui aura les burnes d’enfin faire régner l’ordre et qui traitera enfin les traîtres à la nation comme ils le méritent.

x86 CET-{IBT,SS} coming to Linux {KVM,PL0,PL3}! Kernel shadow stacks are the final battle. x86 FRED helps by removing hell like IDT nested NMIs. Fighting with ERETU to 32-bit compat mode now. arm64-level control flow security on x86 soon.

Wiwynn chassis with MegaRAC SP-X BMC. Unmodded, the fans run at 20k RPM and consume >1kW power. But hacked BMC, it's so quiet, I sleep next to it! It shall keep me cozy during Chicago winter.

Good: - RoCE interconnect - fast HBM and SRAM streaming - fat systolic arrays for GEMM (BF16) -> amazing for dense models Bad: - fixed pipeline hardware ABI 😭 - underpowered VLIW cores for non-linear math - mem gather (shallow load queue) -> no good for DeepSeek CSA

Linux 7.0 still does not support Intel CET indirect branch tracking (IBT) in usermode. Intel CPUs supporting IBT first appeared in 2021. Here's my patch series: lore.kernel.org/lkml/2026051…

IBT enforces that indirect calls and jumps can't land on any arbitrary instruction, but one of these: [f3 0f 1e fa] endbr64 "jmp rax" to elsewhere causes a segfault SEGV_CPERR, defending against control flow hijacking (e.g. corrupt function pointer).
