BPF is Berkeley Packet Filter. It's a packet filter that is written in some kind of
bytecode that gets loaded and unloaded into the kernel. Not sure what eBPF is.

I have this old computer, probably from 2015, I

today (yes, I'm going to replace it. It's my unenclosed system and I have stuff
hanging off itLOL. But it is probably time).
I noticed some entries about loading and unloading BPF. At first, I read the Wikipedia
article. I wish Jimmy would stop asking for money and just cavort with his
"executive staff." But the section on security was interesting.
Has anybody played with BPF?
Is Jimmy some sort of red herring?
I see an article on eBPF. Is that it?

Perhaps backup and reinstall?
