Editor’s Note – Thank you
Stephan A. Schwartz,  Editor  -  Schwartzreport

_Stephan: I want to thank all of you who wrote to send me good wishes. I really appreciate it. I have some kind of flu-cold, and it is as bad as when I got Covid. But, after spending the day in bed, I felt a little better and decided to come down and try to do SR, inasmuch as the United States, indeed the whole world, has been severely damaged by the madness of psychopath Trump. Anyway, I hope this illness is ending, and I tha … ⌘ Read more

Trump Turns Homelessness Response Away From Housing, Toward Forced Treatment
Angela Hart,  Staff Writer  -  MedPage Today | Kaiser Family Foundation

Stephan: In so many ways psychopath Trump, who sees himself as a kind of medieval lord, makes it clear he couldn’t care less about those whom he sees as American peasants. I see example after example of his attitude in the choices he makes; this article reports on his views of the homeless.

Americans are behind on car payments at a record level
April Rubin,  Staff Writer  -  Axios

_Stephan: As I lay in bed and thought about the disaster wrought on America by psychopath “monarch” Trump, the increase in car prices recurred several times, and I wondered how were Americans doing with car payments prior to  Trump’s self-mutilation of the country of which he is President. So when I felt a little better I came down to my office and did a some research. It turns o … ⌘ Read more

The billionaire-filled city so secretive it does not want outsiders to know that it exists
James Cirrone,  News Reporter  -  Mail Online (U.K.)

Stephan: Yet another example of the neo-medieval trend that is socially reshaping the United States. You have probably never heard of Bradbury, California, and that is the way the residents want it. It is the richest city in California.

10 Interesting Stories Behind Famous TV Catchphrases
Catchphrases are common in many TV shows—from Joey asking “How you doin’?” in Friends to McGarrett’s “Book ’em, Danno” in Hawaii Five-O. Some catchphrases have even become so popular that they’ve outlasted the show they originally came from. Being such cultural juggernauts, you might think these catchphrases were expertly crafted for maximum impact. But they’re […]

[$] The state of guest_memfd
A typical cloud-computing host will share some of its memory with each
guest that it runs. The host retains its access to that memory, though,
meaning that it can readily dig through that memory in search of data that
the guest would prefer to keep private. The guest_memfd subsystem removes (most of) the
host’s access to guest memory, making the guest’s data more secure. In the
memory-management track of the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem,
Memory-Management, and BPF Su … ⌘ Read more

[$] The future of ZONE_DEVICE
Alistair Popple started his session at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem,

is “the ugly stepchild” of the kernel’s memory-management subsystem.
Ugly or not, the ability to manage memory that is attached to a peripheral
device rather than a CPU is increasingly important on current hardware.
Popple hoped to cover some of the challenges with ZONE_DEVICE and
find ways to make the stepchild a bit more attractive, if not bring it into

[$] Supporting untorn buffered writes
At last year’s
Linux Storage, Filesystem,
Memory-Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF), there was a discussion about atomic writes that was
accompanied by patches to support the feature in the block layer, and for
direct I/O on XFS. That
work was merged, but another piece of that discussion concerned adding the
feature for buffered I/O, in part because the PostgreSQL database currently
has to jump through hoops to ensure that its writes are not “torn”

10 Political Terms With Curious Origins
The words we use in the context of politics reveal much of the history of how humans have attempted to govern themselves. Many originate from ancient Greece and Rome, where the first representative assemblies closely matching our own arose.
