                                      RefluXFS (CVE-2026-64600) is a newly disclosed race condition in the Linux kernel's XFS copy-on-write path that can allow an unprivileged local user to gain root privileges, even on systems with SELinux Enforcing.

                                      The flaw affects XFS filesystems with reflink enabled and has existed since Linux kernel 4.11 (2017). Enterprise distributions including RHEL, Oracle Linux, Amazon Linux, and Fedora may be impacted if vulnerable configurations are present. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Only the keyboard, trackpad, and the bottom casing remain, revealing the hinge mechanism and some internal wiring. It's sitting on a dark grey felt desk mat. Multiple cables are connected to the ports on both sides of the machine, including a white power cable and USB adapters, and a thick black HDMI cable. In the upper right corner, a white and silver Razer brand mouse is partially visible. The background shows more tangled cables and a bit of another electronic device. The image is taken in a practical, slightly cluttered workspace setting.

                                                                                                                        And still I think this decision will backfire badly.

                                                                                                                        I, like most of Codeberg users, was not even aware that this discussion was in place, did not vote. This only passed because of the anti-AI Luddite crowd. Which, mind you, has a point, I have very conflicting feelings about AI myself, and I think that the current trajectory is quite worrying. But this is just a knee-jerk reaction that has clearly not been thought of well enough.

                                                                                                                        I applaude the philosophy, or the intent if you want, of not having Codeberg turn into another SlopHub. But this is fairy-tale wishful thinking. There is no way to reliably detect AI-generated code at scale in 2026.
                                                                                                                        I can already smell the mutual witch hunts across projects and "camps".

                                                                                                                        Anyway, I hope I'm wrong.

                                                                                                                              I'd have even understood if it was a locally trained LLM - but no, as it''s explicitly stated when creating issue, it's a third-party one!

                                                                                                                                I am a regular Codeberg user, left GitHub in 2019, and co-maintain Libre projects that saw very little if none at all AI in development.

                                                                                                                                And still I think this decision will backfire badly.

                                                                                                                                I, like most of Codeberg users, was not even aware that this discussion was in place, did not vote. This only passed because of the anti-AI Luddite crowd. Which, mind you, has a point, I have very conflicting feelings about AI myself, and I think that the current trajectory is quite worrying. But this is just a knee-jerk reaction that has clearly not been thought of well enough.

                                                                                                                                I applaude the philosophy, or the intent if you want, of not having Codeberg turn into another SlopHub. But this is fairy-tale wishful thinking. There is no way to reliably detect AI-generated code at scale in 2026.
                                                                                                                                I can already smell the mutual witch hunts across projects and "camps".

I have built my own rack solution (rack, chassis, accessories) for consumer grade hardware (it follows enterprise spec).

I'm thinking I'll blog post each of the major sections and push to each time.
