Where is he moving his shit to, then?

I suspect at this point that it’s a bunch of techno-bureaucrats at Canonical who are dogmatically sticking with their release cadence because artificial justifications. I have worked in big organizations where The Process, or The $place Way of Doing Things, has become so big that the bureaucracy takes on a life of its own and you end up having a whole team of people who just manage the process so that the people actually doing the work can maybe get something done.

I haven’t used Ubuntu for a few years now but I’m glad they’re getting this trial by fire now. This new era of software vulnerabilities is going to reduce the viability of a lot of smaller distros who more or less are entirely dependent on upstream for security and reliability. I sincerely wish the Ubuntu folks well but this is a sink or swim moment, and even if they sink it will be a net positive for Linux as a whole as weaker projects get picked off like the slowest antelope in the herd.

> I'm moving all my servers off Ubuntu. Well justified.

you mean to say you didnt review the codebase before putting it in production? you get what you pay for

Did Omarchy patch it? Anyone knows? (Not that I'm using it now, but I'm interested.)

They're too busy replacing something else with a Rust rewrite.

What difference does it make? Version N (TEH LATEST) is considered secure until it isn't and the same show repeats with version N+1 but we already know it's also compromised.

"The free operating system that I use is not giving me enterprise level security updates"

I believe you can contribute to Ubuntu's source code right? Why don't you fix the issue then?

Where is my cup to collect all these tears from people upset about free software not getting fixed fast enough?

I wonder what is slower, these people pulling out a credit to pay something or ubuntu fixing their issue?

Calm down, man. I think Ubuntu is doing o.k. here. What is pretty bad that people cannot read advisories anymore and fix there machines, instead crying for their mama (in this case Ubuntu).

Use this firewall rule and you are fine - it blocks the tcp options negoation - and things remain working of course: ` nft add table ip cve_2026_98432 nft add chain ip cve_2026_98432 pre '{ type filter hook prerouting priority -300; }' nft add rule ip cve_2026_98432 pre meta l4proto tcp ip hdrlength gt 5 counter drop `

Ultimately, Ubuntu was never more than just a respin of Debian with brown wallpaper and shovelware added. It's time to let it go.
