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.

> for squatting 130kg I just lack the strength at the very bottom to get out of the hole again.

Could always cheat and buy sleeves!

> It’s always been my least favorite exercise as well which doesn’t help.

Used to be my favourite, always had lots of confidence in being able to get out of the hole or bail safely. Failed one forward a few years ago and lost all of it :/ Definitely a scarier exercise as you push the weight.

@sven @ljs Personally I find that the height of the bench makes a massive difference, worst thing about new equipment or gyms!

@ljs > Also my incline smith machine press is fucking 45kg? WHAT?

I dunno, incline is a harder exercise. It uses your shoulder muscles not just your chest. When I was benching 130 my incline was only around 100.

> but in 'theory' it's meant to be the same muscle group right?

Ye it is, but it's kinda akin to trying to stand up and stand up on a tightrope.
Also, some of those machines don't have linear loading, so the same number of plates doesn't mean the same effort is required.

@ljs Oh right, ye that's gonna be totally different! One is purely isolated, but benching requires stablisation of the weight and that takes a significant portion of your strength.

@ljs "105kg seated press" - seated press to me usually means a shoulder exercise with dumbbells. Do you mean some sort of thing with a machine, or a free weight exercise?

@sven @ljs I've always found that bench can be pretty finicky. Grip width, where you bring the bar down to on your chest, elbow flaring and the height of the bench all make a pretty significant impact to how much you can move.

@charmcli think I found out about gum from an @gregkh tweet: https://x.com/gregkh/status/1577276199574831105, it's a super useful program, feel like every automation script I write uses it since I found it.

I wrote a script when I first started having to send tags as PRs via email and called it "froth.sh". Cannot for the life of me remember why I did that. Makes heavy use of @charmcli 's gum, so maybe I picked a silly name to be thematic?

@palmer Unfortunately I feel compelled to at least listen to the talks that are related to the 100s of patches I look at every day :)

Apparently that's only the case for the sched embed on the lf events page.
The sched page itself tells me "Invalid captcha entry. Please try again." There is no captcha.

heh, password reset form for lf events is obscured by the sponors banner, nice.

@cas @luana Yeah, I think it's less of a issue in U-Boot cos Tom sees everything pretty much. Tom's great, but that's only possible cos ultimately the volume is about the size of a larger Linux subsystem AFAICT. It's much more noticeable in Linux for new SoC vendor stuff - drivers/soc and dts stuff is what I've mostly seen fall into the abyss of noone knowing who is meant to deal with it.

@cas @luana "Deciding which maintainer will pick up a patch series (or subset thereof) is somewhat arbitrary, depending on the series in question, other changes in-flight, and a bunch of other complicated context." One of the worst things in that regard is when you've got a new soc vendor and some newer contributors so noone's go the foggiest who should apply patches for it.

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 :)

@mupuf @ljs 90% of the time it's super easy (at least once you've done it before) but sometimes you can hit that PC that's has a DoA part or some accidentally bent pins etc that can make it miserable.
