New service: https://debuginfod.debian.net
Hello there,
I would like to announce a new service that I have just configured for
Debian: https://debuginfod.debian.net.debuginfod is a new-ish project whose purpose is to serve
ELF/DWARF/source-code information over HTTP. It is developed under the
elfutils umbrella. You can find more information about it here:https://sourceware.org/elfutils/Debuginfod.html
In a nutshell, by using a debuginfod service you will not need to
install debuginfo (a.k.a. dbgsym) files anymore; the symbols will be
served to GDB (or any other debuginfo consumer that supports debuginfod)
over the network. Ultimately, this makes the debugging experience much
smoother (I myself never remember the full URL of our debuginfo
repository when I need it).If you would like to use the service, and if the service supports the
Debian distribution you are using (see below), all you have to do is
make sure that the following environment variable is set in your shell:DEBUGINFOD_URLS="https://debuginfod.debian.net";
Currently, the elfutils and GDB packages in unstable and testing have
native support for using debuginfod. I will soon propose a change to
the elfutils package in order to make it be configured with our
debuginfod instance by default, so that users will be able to use the
service transparently.For now, debuginfod.debian.net is serving debug information symbols for
the following Debian distributions:- unstable
- testing
- testing-proposed-updates- stable
- stable-backports
- proposed-updatesIn the near future I intend to expand this list and include the
debuginfo stored at snapshot.debian.org as well.Setting up a debuginfod service for Debian has been on my TODO list for
some time now, and I finally got enough time & resources to do it. I
would like to thank a few people for their feedback and help:- Héctor Orón (zumbi)
- Jonathan Carter (highvoltage)
- Paul Wise (pabs)Last, but not least, you can find a wiki page about our service here:

Thanks,

Debian Launches A Debuginfod Server For Smoother Debugging Experience
Debian is the latest major Linux distribution deploying a Debuginfod web server so that ELF/DWARF/source-code information can be supplied via HTTP to clients on-demand when debugging.
Introduced last year was Debuginfod with GNU Binutils 2.34 for distributing debugging information / source code on demand. Readelf and objdump utilities can query connected Debuginfod servers for source files / data based on a build ID. Debuginfod support was later integrated into the GNU Debugger too (GDB 10.1). The effort was led by Red Hat engineers while now Debian is getting in on this practical feature too.

Null MX - We do not accept email here!
By creating a NULL MX RECORD for a domain name which isn't meant to receive email, the domain will clearly state that it doesn't accept any email, period. Anyone attempting to send email to that domain will then immediately received a notification saying you cannot send email to that domain.

RFC7505 Means Yes, Your Domain Can Refuse to Handle Mail. Please Leave Us a TXT If You Do.
If you do not want a domain to receive any mail, there is a way to be at last somewhat civil about it. There's a different DNS trick for that.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future Tech
The metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world.
Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility.
