  What is a patch

  Patch is a piece of tape on the changed / buggy section of a code stored on a punched card:

  

  lol, the term debugging is from a similar story that there were really bugs inside a computer rack, causing errors on the mainframe.

  That's a myth. The term "bug" meaning a problem in a mechanism has existed long before mainframes, all the way back in the 1800s. The myth came from a bug caused by a literal bug in the Harvard Mark II which led the developers to call it the first computer bug in jest. It was a moth found in relay 70 in panel F, and they wrote: "First actual case of bug found".

  The term "debug" was first used in aeronautics in the 1940s referring to fixing flaws in aircraft engines.

  there was an actual moth in one of the first computers, they used the term debugging for the first time in a computing context.

  Source? Everything I find say that the first documented use of debugging referring to computers was in 1952 and the 1947 incident with the moth never used that term. They just referred to it as an "actual bug".

  Only an issue for containers like LXC (and for guests of all kinds themselves), but that can't be used to escape KVM.

  OK - had only a quick look at the ProxMox release notes for the -5 and thought "hopefully we won't go through all the "emergency maintenance" (announced, shortly announced and just done without announcement) things again...

  Should only have to go through that again for LXC providers. But then again they have to go through that for nearly every privesc!

  Not sure/haven't heard any maintenance announcement:

  • Vultr

  Vultr seems to have a patching plan now.

  I haven't found an official announcement from them, but through SporeStack I have received 41 host reboot scheduling emails so far, specifically calling out a critical KVM vulnerability. The dates I see are the 17th to 19th.

  I'm not sure about DigitalOcean yet. Have not seen any emails about that. Maybe they use Xen, or maybe they'll do live migrations?
