The cat is not mine :(

I like cycling, powerlifting, bad video games and metal.
Otherwise, I occupy my time with various bits in RISC-V land.

@sima quote tweets and the "activity" column on tweetdeck what I miss the most. It's hard to find new stuff here unless someone you follow retweets them.

@calebccff Did this go to LKML or something downstream?

@calebccff Surprised they didn't do it in 1 patch

Feels like a shame to put a brake on a track bike, but at least it has me back out riding it. No longer feel self sacrificial enough to take it out in the city brakeless!

generic_const_exprs will be nice once it stops saying "the feature `generic_const_exprs` is incomplete and may not be safe to use and/or cause compiler crashes" too!

Perhaps I am biased due to writing C, but I keep running into nice stuff in Rust, like std::concat_idents, that has been hidden behind nightly toolchains for ages.
I guess may just "have" what the kernel did and re-implement it to drop needing a nightly toolchain.

(I say biased, because there may be some idiomatic or other way to do these things that someone more familiar with Rust would do instead & find what I do "distasteful")

@hyeyoo @kernellogger @ljs Out of tree modules just look horrific with those defines...

A week of coming home from work to spend my evening trying to keep up with DT patches has been exhausting, even after "tactically" excluding sound stuff that I don't understand at all & a whole rake of Qualcomm patches that clearly were not going to get applied this week.

I don't know how people who deal with that sort of volume regularly cope!

@ljs @monsieuricon "If you are listed in MAINTAINERS and have enough signatures on your PGP key to be in the web of trust, your account will be issued without delay." I dunno chief, no harm in asking. I'd not have said I qualified when I asked for one last year /shrug

@ljs Any reason not to pick up a kernel.org address then if you're having issues with the gmail one?

@pdp7 @palmer @tommythorn Sick, I'll expect Tested-bys from both of you so.

@palmer @tommythorn it's not allwinner, but it is thead. It's the first party SoC that Jisheng posted patches for. I think the fact that the ISA string in /proc/cpuinfo has "vsu" in it says a lot about how scary it will be!

@tommythorn I see, thanks. I'll have to go take a look at how much stuff has been backported to it :)

@tommythorn They're still shipping something that says "rv64imafdcvsu"? What kernel version do they ship?

My name is 5 letters long, it always puzzles me to see how often it gets misspelt when there is a correctly spelt reference 2 or 3 lines away from it.

@calebccff I even ended up bricking my LUKS filesystem at one point because the header got corrupted and written to the disk & I fucked up trying to fix it manually!

@calebccff I thought I had bad ram, so I went out and bought another kit (both corsair vengence kits, one 5600 MHz and one 6000 MHz) that also had the same issues. I ran the thing with one stick only until I tried XMP-but-not-XMP on a whim. Board is an Asus X670E-F.

@calebccff I had a miserable time with DDR5 on my 7950x. I would constantly crash due to memory corruption during allmodconfigs type loads or if I left my box running overnight. Had to enable whatever AMD calls XMP for my system to be stable.
