    I thought that was only for Eypc processors with desktop processor fixes coming later this year. The articles are not very clear with what is fixed when.

    Thanks, it works. That's a bit worrying.

    Do you think Ubuntu 22.04 will get the security update soon? I got a microcode update today but i think that's only a fix for server cpus and not desktop cpus.

    For anyone having permission problems turn off secure boot in order for this to work.

  • I'm a newb and ran the recommended mitigation code to set a chicken bit on my processor. After running it there was no indication that it worked. Is there a simple way to use rdmsr to check? https://lock.cmpxchg8b.com/zenbleed.html#solution

    Any open source alternatives for Jerboa? Lemmur seems broken - tells me Lemmy.one doesn't exist.

    Jerboa is made by Lemmy's developers, and is free, open-source software, meaning no advertising, monetizing, or venture capital, ever. Your donations directly support full-time development of the project.

    I guess they want a different open source client.
