Every kernel update? A new maintenance hell, welcome to the jungle. I was wondering why the hell my net-randomization service was breaking out of nowhere, after journalctl, repeated builds and changed values, I bumped my head on the updates and found out that "tcp_rmem" minimum limits changed to 4096. I did randomization on these values each boot. Blending entropy with stability is another damn game. #Linux #Kernel #Update #Maintenance #OS #Building #Technology #Security
