Raspberry Pi Running Kernel 7.1.1 Stable.

I'll keep building them as soon as they're released. They all seem as stable as bedrock thus far.

While these kernels aren't exactly customized, since the template that I use is the default kernel of the chipset for the Raspberry Pi four, I may have altered the formula somewhat by adding kernel live patching and enabling BTF support. So even though they're technically customized to a point, they're mostly standard.

It's unclear to me that live patching actually works on the Pi but when I learn more about its use, I'd like to experiment to gain a clearer understanding. These latest kernels seem to be more responsive and they don't hog resources either. I can't wait to build kernel 7.1.2. Thanks for your attention and happy learning and hacking.

US Is A Utopia. Just Ask Idiot US Politicians.

Iran has mocked the United States for “solving” its domestic hunger problem by simply stopping reports while lecturing other countries on the issue. How many nations actually trust American politicians?

However, that's a story for another time. Today, our focus in on the idiotic statements of those politicians, at the highest levels of US power, namely the current president, Trump and his vice president Vance. The entire, collective west has the political class that only money can buy.

Zionist No Longer Tout Free Speech.

Parsi refuses to carry water for the Zionist narrative and so, as the same shills, have done to alleged white supremacists, they'll do to anyone that dares to stray away from the plantation.

Zionist and Jews, always pretended to be the champions of free speech, when it suited them, when they were destroying the pillars of white western societies.

In Trita's case, they'll see if they can get away with deporting him for the nerve to pretend, that he has a god given right to speak freely. How dare he?

Now that they no longer perceive themselves, as controlling the narratives, due to the rise of the explosion of information, from all corners of the earth, now it is that very speech, which the used to destroy, subvert and corrupt our societies, that they fear now.

They're so transparently, predictable. Let's hope that they get the push back and back blast, that they so rightly deserve.

This is one of the ways that I spend my time. I can't speak for anyone else, with any degree of accuracy, but I love playing around like this. Enough about me however, this kernel seems to be working flawlessly. Although for full disclousure, this isn't exactly from the official Linux kernel repositories. No this repository originates from the, Raspberry Pi kernel devlopers branch. Lately, I prefer building from their branchs since I get fewer bewildering messages, if any from the kernel when the command dmesg is given.

It's a personal preference as the only problems with those messages, are that I'm not bright enough to accurately interpret them. Anyway, the only reasons why I use the official Linux kernel repos, are that they're always update more quickly than those of the developers at the Raspberry Pi Foundation. I get impatient waiting and just impulsively get the latest iteration. Needless to say, they all seem to work well when built, with some modifications added where needed.

Well, there it is. There really isn't much to say about the matter other than that I can't wait to see what's coming up next. Rumor has it that, by Sunday, Linux kernel 7.1.y may officially be a thing. Let's hope so, shall we? Then, presumably, version 7.2-rc.y will be there to be explored. That's all I have on this very cloudy day, thanks for your attention and until next time.

According to some reports, which under the circumstances, seem credible, the French government no doubt under the auspices of Washington DC, are making sure that privacy, and speech that elitists hate, are soon to be stamped out. The boot stomping on the faces of the serfs will soon be the new reality. This is how empires and once great nations, in desperation fall.

Nothing is real now is it? What happens to nations that disregard their principles or their presumed principles? Do they even deserve to survive. If there are freedoms, they will be the ones we assertively grab for ourselves and even if these fantasies exist, the political class of the US or the collective west do not nor have ever, believed in them. This is all theater.

The elitist want us all to be defenseless, silent, compliant and subservient. To them we are all cattle. There is much talk about who really runs the US and despite all the talk about Zionist lobbies, one is quite sure that the corporate lobbies are the true puppet masters of the prostitutes infesting the political classes of the collective west. On this planet, there is only room enough for one hegemonic empire. All rivals will be destroyed ruthlessly.

It's probably not a big deal for many people, that the latest greatest Linux kernel can be run on the Raspberry Pi, I mean, if one were to install the ArchLinuxArm Operating system, which is the Arch Linux system which runs on Arm processors, one would easily enjoy the latest bleeding edge software, including the latest kernel version. However, This may not be the case on operating systems based on the Debian Gnu/Linux. Which is fine since Debian developers insist on having stability first. However, some of us like to experiment and tinker.

I must admit that earlier in my days of compiling these more recent, modern kernels for the Raspberry Pi devices, running Raspberry Pi OS did present some minor disturbances in the beginning. For instance, the process that I have been using to make these kernels are derived from the Official Raspberry Pi Documentation. However I've added another step in the process by building the deb packages for both the Linux image and its corresponding Linux Kernel headers. That is, after issuing the command, “make -j$(nproc) Image.gz modules dtbs” an additional command is issued to build the Debian deb packages with the command make -j$(nproc) bindeb-pkg.

After that one can just install the Debian deb packages with either apt or dpkg. Simple right? Well not exactly, because during the installation of the packages, there is a dpkg error which claims that the kernel is an unsupported one and therefore, while the kernel vmlinuz image is installed, initramfs-tools is unable to build the initrd image. That eventually causes problems in Raspberry Pi OS for some reason. Fortunately, I've found some workarounds. I'd rather not get into them but they now work flawlessly and since kernel version 6.12.85, another custom that I compiled, the situation has been rectified. If there are any souls who would like to know the workarounds, my email address is fivenineteen.at.netzero.net. My fediverse address is also techriot@natehiggers.org and my XMMP address is agentcasey@chat.natehiggers.org.

The workarounds aren't convoluted, they involve some substitutions in /etc/initramfs/post-update.d/z50-raspi-firmware, /etc/kernel/postinst.d/ commenting out the echo “+” line in the kernel sources, root directory, in scripts/setlocalversion, before issuing the commands “KERNEL=kernel8” and “make bcm2711_defconfig,” respectively and without the quotes please. I've decided not to include them here in this article, because, I doubt that there will be anyone who reads this, will even bother or care to mess around with their kernels anyway. However, if indeed I'm wrong in that assertion, then I have listed my contact information. It's a little hacky so I'll still have to think about how to present it to the masses in a concise and coherent manner, but so far it is workable. Honestly, I'm probably the only person who plays around with kernels anyway, so I don't expect much attention on the subject and I'm just putting it out here just in case.

That's all I have on this topic for now, but I await future updates in the kernel versions so that I may test them. As for this latest version, 7.0.5 which came out yesterday, May 8, 2026, I find it pleasurable, easy on CPU and RAM and everything appears to be working just as well as they did with the official kernel which was 6.12.75+rpt-rpi-v8 I find that things go along even more smoothly when I include the string +rpt-rpi-v8 as the kernel's local version. I figured this out when I needed to include BTF support. It was much easier to have the identical kernel naming as the one I was substituting. Obviously I and to switch the modules directory in /lib/modules too so that there would be correspondence. That was easy enough anyway since I did make bindeb-pkg. That's all for now, assuming anybody even read this post. Happy hacking if anyone did.

What happens, when future warring states decide that assassinations are the way to go in wars? Will the US and the Zionist entity be so eager to continue that practice? Why is it, that two nuclear armed states, can get away with attacking any state, in this case, Iran with no opposition except from the Iranians themselves? Isn't it ironic that the only nation that willfully use atomic, nuclear weapons against others, is pretending to be responsible, while simultaneously, that nations mad president, threatens to destroy Iran's civilization and make them glow?

The United States, may not be the force of good, that it would like others to believe it is. Actions speak louder and more clearly than words and in the case of the USA, its actions betray its addiction to power and war. Why are we talking about the US, when it is Israel under the microscope? Because Israel is the proxy of the US and by extension, the proxy of the collective west. Every atrocity that Israel commits, is by the behest of the US. That isn't to say that Israel is innocent, far from it, both the US and Israel are rouge pathetic nations governed by evil fools. Why should the US take action against the Zionist entity, when it is it, which have ordered the atrocity?

Iran has achieved what almost no country has managed in the post-Cold War era, a strategic defeat of the United States military without being knocked out on the first punch. In a landmark conversation on The Duran, Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou sit down with Trita Parsi to dissect exactly how America’s 40-year obsession,with finding a “silver bullet” against Iran has brought Washington to its weakest position in the Middle East since 1979.

Parsi argues that the naval blockade of Iran sold to Trump as the final pressure tool that would force capitulation was built on dangerously flimsy analysis, and that the window for Trump to negotiate a genuine exit and spin it as a win is rapidly closing.

From Iran’s nuclear calculus and the prospect of a grand bargain replacing the JCPOA, to the long-term unraveling of the American security umbrella across the Gulf states, this episode maps out the tectonic shift now reshaping the global order. The question is no longer whether US primacy in the Middle East is ending it’s whether Washington will recognize it in time to leave on its own terms.

The United States and the EU are waging a war on Russia by proxy. The US thinks that by fomenting wars against the nations which it can't control, what some may perceive as near peer adversaries, it can cause their destruction and hold on to its fledging perception of hegemonic power. The attacks on Venezuela and Iran are all a part of this insidious affair. The object is to cut off and disrupt trade with China in a hope to isolate the emerging giant. The perception and narrative sourounding the illegal aggressive war against Iran, is that the US is suddenly worried that it is causing hardships on the world's economy.

However, that is further away from the truth, than normal people could imagine. Far from being alarmed, worried or concerned with crashing economies, the US is achieving its desired results. It was the plan all along. Destroy and attack Iran's petroleum infrastructure, with the knowledge that Iran would attack its neighboring US allies in the same manner and that played out as planned. All that matters is that the oil stops flowing to China. Not only that, but with trading in west Asia disrupted, much of the allies of the United States, have no choice but to be dependent on it, for their deficiencies. So with that being the case, once could argue that the US is winning the war they started, as they're achieving the desired results and deceiving the world in the process.
