- Linux Mint: It use mitigation of intel cpu bug?
- Package to Notify/check for Kernel Vulns?

Spectre Meltdown Checker gives summary of 1 red in Debian but 0 red in Fedora 36.
I tried the latest SMC from https://github.com/speed47/spectre-meltdown-checker and all were in green. :-)

Can a laptop from 2012 be a viable home server?
OpenBSD will disable all but the first thread on any Intel processor by default. I'm assuming that these models are too old to have microcode updates addressing the Spectre exploits (Meltdown, Foreshadow, Fallout, Zombieload, RIDL etc.), and disabling SMT/HT might be the most secure thing to do by default.
This script produces a good assessment of Spectre problems for a wide variety of CPUs. I know that they are difficult to exploit, and the mitigations are disabled by many because of their performance impact.

Any opinion about NUC as home server?
He's probably referring to the class of vulnerabilities checked by this script: https://github.com/speed47/spectre-meltdown-checker. It's not just Intel CPUs that were affected, AMD and ARM also have some vulnerabilities (I just ran it on an ARM v7 to see) although maybe not as many.
