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.

Heh, this would've been nice to have attended year ago:
https://fosdem.org/2023/schedule/event/pwm/

"The audience learns the general concept of PWMs, about the corner cases in their usage and driver design, and how to avoid the common pitfalls often pointed out to authors of new PWM drivers during the review process."

Listening to a podcast for the first time, where the hosts do not introduce themselves before bringing in their guest is *super* disconcerting.
Now I got 3 voices that I cannot tell apart, rather than having some time to acclimatise to the hosts...

kernel.org, protonmail & wkd: incompatibility
Show content
I ran afoul of this about a year ago, and have since noticed others having the same issue a few times since.

Kernel.org publishes the WKD for all developers who have kernel.org accounts, which is grand - but protonmail has a feature where it will automagically check for WKD and use it to encrypt messags.
Mailing lists & recipients without WKD will get the regular old copy of the mail.

To quote one of the other people that ran into this:
"they told me then that it's a super-pro
builtin feature that I can't disable 🤡"
That's the same answer I got & for both of us, the solution was just to leave protonmail.

Maintainers don't know about this & get "annoyed" with patch submitters & it is equally frustrating on the other side trying to figure out why your patchset has been encrypted...

The most recent occurance of this is here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/Y6slQLto568WfmfZ@spud/

I feel like it should be documented somewhere that this issue exists, process/email-clients.txt doesn't seem quite right. Perhaps the patches documenting it should be CC the users@linux.kernel.org ML?

USCSB videos on YouTube are so amazingly well done. I don't care really about chemical processing etc, but you bet I'll watch anything they put out..

So uh, anyone know if I can get my hands on a #PINE64 star64? I know they're not on the market yet - but there's no sign of my visionfive2 & I would like to review the drivers..

Not checked out the netdev stats before, but kinda sucks that Microchip is #2 for negative.

The mpu32/at91 people here maintain the cadence macb stuff (which is all I've contributed to), so I figure we are at worst neutral for that particular driver.

Market drivel is really amusing to be honest. I love the alternative realities they all live in, in which they are number 1.

Last night: pit at At The Gates/In Flames
Tonight: sitting for hours on in a plane on the apron

Substantially less enjoyable and more stressful!

I really haven't kept up with what's planned for the RISC-V "Experience" next week - @palmer @pdp7 anything in particular that is worth attending? Most stuff is pretty vague or sounds like marketing :s

I don't get the point of these mails. Not exactly helping me understand *what* is suspicious about it? Why would I want to cancel it?

Half the time I write "whitespace" in a review, I end up writing "shitespace" instead.

It's nice to have a machine that can build allmodconfig in give-or-take the time it takes to review a given patch in a series :)

Anything riscv spec related melts my brain. The lack of consistent wording between documents, unclear "should"/"must" usage and apparent incompleteness really triggers me. Dunno why, but the (perceived?) lack of clarity in what's mean to be spec documents is highly confusing to me. What seems like a web of interrelated GitHub repos and organisations really doesn't help me either.

By mentioning it, I'm sure I'll jinx myself - but I wonder what it feels like when someone makes a "thing" out of an exploit you introduced, be it a talk, a blog post or whatever.

On Twitter I used tweetdeck & had an "activity" column, in which I could see what people I followed liked. Was my main way of browsing there since it was a wide variety of content. What's the equivalent here? "Known Network"?
