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.

Being in my 20s, I was confused as to why YouTube keeps showing me adverts for toys for young children. I realised all I watch on this particular computer is videos about programming and 10+ year old MMOs and it all started to make a lot of sense.

Reading some patch discussion today (between two experienced developers/maintainers) and one cracked out a "I believe the kids these days would say '"Say you don't understand the
code without saying you don't understand the code."'

lmao, good one chief

Krzysztof Kozlowski

I announced it before on social.kernel.org, mailing lists and finally in the Linux kernel (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=c25223cba5aa9a536392933782d4a7df71d9093b). So one more time, same announcement:
None of the Samsung and Samsung Foundry platforms can bring any new `dtbs_check W=1` warning.

Contributor can easily test it, so sending code which introduces such warnings is considered close to sending code which does not compile. Fast step to get your maintainer grumpy.

"Detection of individual cryptography extensions uses the unified software-based RISC-V discovery method.

 At the time of writing, these discovery mechanisms are still a work in progress."

...from the documentation for ratified extensions :)

I see today is iteration N of hating email based workflows. My 0.02 € is that I hate both, clunky aul email and clunky new UIs :)

I'm extremely reluctant to pass much comment on the Israel/Gaza situation because I grew up in an occupied territory where terrorists frequently targeted civilians and arguably the terrorism eventually resulted in a negotiated peace with a vaguely functioning power sharing arrangement, and I do not want that to be the moral of the story

It is year 2077.

Computers still use Arm architecture.

Kernel/initramfs image are loaded using TFTP. Still over IPv4.

DeviceTree lives on.

My x86 box died yesterday after 10 months of using it just fine*, either CPU or mobo being the problem. Pain in the arse, but also gonna force me to actually configure my newly acquired arm64 laptop. Good a time as any to give sway a shot too I suppose!

* apart from having to run EXPO to boot, /sigh

Having always flown Ryanair short haul in Europe, my last two flights have been early morning Aer Lingus and Luthansa. It's so strange to me to see flights not only not at maximum capacity, but well under 2/3 of it

"REVISIT ... this would be for multiplexing periodic endpoints, or supporting transfer phasing to prevent exceeding ISO bandwidth limits of a given frame or microframe."
Written in 2008, guess that never happened!

I get quite disorienting deja vu sometimes with patches, and it is always when I have seen the code (or something close to it) ages ago in another submission.

I got a macbook the other week, was kinda holding out to see if the distro switch was gonna happen so that I could avoid using arch linux arm :)

Go to try and debug someone's boot issue, have to recompile the boards firmware to run a mainline kernel, which effectively meant recompiling U-Boot too. Vendor U-Boot seems to need a customer compiler, that's the end of me caring about helping with that.

Crashed my bike (lowside @ about 25 kph) 2 weeks ago, thought my bike had escaped pretty much unscathed. Last week or so, bike started doing some weird shit, like the chain was slipping. Today, rear wheel/axle decided to become a freewheel in both directions...

Trying to bisect OpenSBI & the thing doesn't build over a bunch of the commit range that I am interested in from the default target.

Lack of automation I suppose is the problem, but OpenSBI is an official RISC-V project, so you'd like to think something basic like github actions could be set up for it...

It is hard to escape the feeling that I "have" to spend my evening bisecting a QEMU boot issue I found.
