SoylentNews is people

Red Hat and CentOS systems aren’t booting due to BootHole patches:

Early this morning, an urgent bug showed up at Red Hat's bugzilla bug tracker—a user discovered that the RHSA_2020:3216 grub2 security update and RHSA-2020:3218 kernel security update rendered an RHEL 8.2 system unbootable.

[...] The patches were intended to close a newly discovered vulnerability in the GRUB2 boot manager called BootHole.

[...] Unfortunately, Red Hat's patch to GRUB2 and the kernel, once applied, are leaving patched systems unbootable. The issue is confirmed to affect RHEL 7.8 and RHEL 8.2, and it may affect RHEL 8.1 and 7.9 as well. RHEL-derivative distribution CentOS is also affected.

Red Hat is currently advising users not to apply the GRUB2 security patches (RHSA-2020:3216 or RHSA-2020:3217) until these issues have been resolved.

Ubuntu and Debian are also apparently affected.

    See subject: I'm so sick & tired of SoylentNews BULLIES just like the /. & ArSeHoleTechnica bullies. You SHITWEASELS have nothing better to do than HARASS, STALK & IMPERSONATE little ol' me. I've done absolutely NOTHING wrong & just try to make everyone's lives better w/ my work that stops ads & malware. You ABUSE your spamdownmodpoints to HIDE the TRUTH that you WORTHLESS DO-NOTHING FORUM FUCKS have SOLD YOUR SOULS to a shitposting tranny SPAMMER who contributes NOTHING useful ever. I am God's gift to SoylentNews & the ONLY person doing ANYTHING useful on this SHITHOLE forum.

    * As soon as I post, I'm CENSORED to -1 w/ ABUSED spamdownmodpoints by FAKENAME bullies like The Mighty Buzzard, Runaway1956, khallow, Azuma Hazuki & Tom "Barbara" Hudson. I caught c6gunner mocking then IMPERSONATING me on /. when he forgot to log out. Zontar The Mindless mailed me a postcard w/ THREATS on it, then LIES & STALKS me. All because you JEALOUS JOWIE "ne'er-do-wells" KNOW I'm World-Class & you're shit. It's why you hide behind FAKE names & UNIDENTIFIABLE ANONYMOUS.

    I caught Tom "Barbara" Hudson IMPERSONATING me too. The OLD NOT-MAN soyboy weezil is JUDEN TRASH & circumcised EVERYTHING to become a EUNUCH. The THING knows nothing about computers so IT LIES about me instead. This is one sick in the head IDLE HANDS ARE THE DEVIL'S WORKSHOP abomination, no questions asked. You wish you were me & that's why you IMPERSONATE & ATTACK me. At least the TRANNY weezil hasn't posted in awhile & HOPEFULLY isn't returning because I exposed IT as the incompetent "ne'er-do-well" NOT MAN it is.

    I'm even improving my already GREAT PHYSIQUE & SUPERIOR INTELLECT while you weezils & soyboys sit around all day on SoylentNews STALKING & HARASSING your BETTERS. I repeatedly dust the no-mind bullshit blatherings you BULLIES post to attack me. Like always I WIN & YOU LOSE. That's why you keep spamdownmod HIDING my posts & STALKING me w/ FAKENAME accounts. You CAN'T stop me any better than whipslash @ /. & he knows I could STOP HIS SERVER whenever I want. Martyb KNOWS he CAN'T DO BETTER than I w/ APK Hosts File Engine instead of some TOY website based on someone else's ABANDONED & BROKEN code from another site FULL of "ne'er-do-well" fakename forum fucks.

    Now I have the PILL-PUSHING SELF-PROCLAIMED "SiDeWaLk-ShRiNk of SOYLENTNEWS" LIBELING me & saying I'm MENTALLY ILL. ALL of you SHITWEASELS are mentally ill & can't stop BULLYING me because you WISH YOU WERE ME. PROVE you've done better than I. You can't & you know it so BULLYING & LIBELING is all YOUR KIND has left.

    You WEEZILS can't stop me & YOU KNOW IT so you don't even try to put in a "LaMeNeSs FiLtEr" like whipslash tried & FAILED at. I hope this SHITHOLE bans AC posting like the shitweasels at /. did because they KNEW they couldn't do better than I after CENSORING & BULLYING me. I WIN @ everything & you LAZY "ne'er-do-wells" fail & EMBARRASS yourselves @ everything. You WISH you were me but you know you CAN'T do what I've done so you IMPERSONATE me & BULLY me instead. You LOSERS need to SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP.

    I WILL RETURN in A FEW WEEKENDS & post about MY WORK in EVERY SINGLE article that weekend to PROVE how much you DO-NOTHING FAILURES LOSE against me. I've accomplished more then EVERY SINGLE ONE of you FAKENAME FORUM FUCKS & I WILL prove it once again. Your BULLYING will PERMANENTLY STOP once I show how INFERIOR you shitweasels truly are against a REAL MAN like me.

    APK

    P.S.=> This BULLYING of me is SO UNFAIR & I've done nothing to deserve it from you people. I'm tired of CASTING PEARLS before SWINE with my work that you CAN'T do better than. GROW UP... apk

    You are absolutely insane, and not the good kind of insane.
    I mean this without a hint of malice or bile when I say: Get some help, now.

      Seriously, do not mod apk as flame, or troll, or deranged asshole. Only mod as Spam. If you do otherwise, you may block legitimate spam mods, which is really sad, given how many legitimate spam mods have been reversed by the master Spam modder hisself, The Mighty Buzztard! So leave room for the "nuke him from orbit" option, it is the only way to be sure. Oh, and, dude, everything that Hazumi might have said about you, it's all true, and more.
