172I like cycling, powerlifting, bad video games and metal.
Otherwise, I occupy my time with various bits in RISC-V land.

Heh, spotted and corrected a "noth" typo to "both".
It has been nice to play games that don't make me hate every other player of the game, that and a streak of AAA type games I wanted to play ending up being really bad had me burnt out of gaming for quite a while.

My profile says I am a bad video game enjoyer, but in the last year I dropped all "competitive" games and played MMOs (both wow and ffxiv), Last Epoch, Path of Exile and a bunch of single player games: Cyberpunk 2077, Everspace 2, Dragon Age Inquisition, Baldur's Gate 3 and all the old Halo Campaigns (not Halo 5, I chose to pretend that doesn't exist). I think that makes me a good video game enjoyer :)

@elly @sterophonick @frog The way it's meant to work is that if you get your bindings upstream, then Linux will stay compatible with those. Obviously every rule has some exceptions, but that's the policy we "inflict" on people and do our best to prevent that breaking.
What ends up happening though is that while the description for a particular peripheral etc is stable and Linux tries to be backwards compatible, the actual dts files often evolve over time, with new peripherals being added etc. Cos of thatm you need to update the dtb get the new support. In an ideal world where every SoC and board was in mainline before customers got it, you'd not need to change anything.

Always nice to write some code for a new feature, but end up removing as much code as you add :)

msw@mstdn.social@Conan_Kudo Moderating the rate shouldn't be the main goal. Ensuring CVEs are allocated for legitimate potential security issues, and not for ones that aren't legitimate potential issues, should be a goal.
The rate is what the rate is, given the rate of defects identified, IMHO.

Baldur's Gate 3 would be the best single player game I've ever played if it were not based on D&D.

@kernellogger @mattst88 @jani I do something like Jani, why would I want to type that git log command when I can have an autocompleteable git alias..

Decided to pick up Baldurs Gate 3, even if the D&D style shit is lost on save scumming auld me, but I am really loving the voice acting. Of course the fact that there's a bunch of Irish accents is biasing me, but it feels like one of the best parts of the game :)

Today's interesting discovery is that the c908 on the k230 (despite not really advertising it) supports Zicbom and the T-Head custom CMO stuff.
Apparently the Chinese documentation says it supports it but the English documentation just says "RISC-V Base Cache Management Operation ISA Extensions Version 1.0-rc2-2c97b28, 2021-11-05: Frozen.". In comparison, about a third of the user manual talks about the T-Head CMOs.
edit: I realise it is expected that the document would cover the custom stuff in far more detail, but for the other standard extensions it claims to support, it at least mentions that it supports the instruction and what it does.

Made for an interesting conversation on IRC with dramforever, revy and cyy this afternoon :)

@monsieuricon @vbabka ngl, reading that it makes me want a "b4 summarise v(N-1) -P <whatever is the dt-binding patch>!
