    The 5.11-rc4 kernel prepatch is out

    GNU Radio 3.9.0.0 released
    Version
    3.9.0.0     of the GNU Radio software-defined radio system has been
    released. "All in all, the main breaking change for pure GRC users
    will consist in a few changed blocks – an incredible feat, considering the
    amount of shift under the hood.    "

    [$] Resource limits in user namespaces
    User namespaces provide a number of
    interesting challenges for the kernel. They give a user the illusion of
    owning the system, but must still operate within the restrictions that
    apply outside of the namespace. Resource
    limits     represent one type of
    restriction that, it seems, is proving too restrictive for some users. This
    patch set     from Alexey Gladkov attempts to address the problem by way of
    a not-entirely-obvious approach.
