#iouring seems to be exceptionally powerful in increasing #networking #speed by reducing #userspace to #kernelspace #copying https://lwn.net/Articles/879724/ Lots of #excitement in the #hackernews #comments regarding this new #feature https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=301.. Very cool indeed. It will have *massive* implications across all parts of the #linux #kernel !
Very cool #story about a #raspberrypi being #found in a #networking #closet and finding out it is #malicious https://blog.haschek.at/2019/the-curious.. This is probably the #worstcase #scenario for #network #security !

It looks *very* similar to those seen on the #pinetab - so my thinking is to try a fresh install on there to see how it goes. 100% on my Ubuntu machine at least it's just a #software issue of some type. Fingers crossed I can bring the #wifi back to life on that glorious little #tablet
