2/…patches from new or rare contributors should have some kind of tag to indicate things like

(1) I have no interest in learning how to do things better, I just want it fixed; I'm thus happy if someone dramatically changes the patch or writes a better one.

(2) I'd really like to learn how to do this properly, hence would be grateful if someone could guide me somewhat.

Why? Well, misunderstandings here can be annoying and a waste of time for both sides (and lead to situations like the above).

My android phone kills the chrome app very often. It is painful that I can't see system logs. I suspect it was the OOM killer that kills it.

@vbabka btw how do you think about maintaining a slab/experimental branch so that it can be tested first even before being reviewed and went to slab/for-next?

Welcome to the cycle of generative AI making search worse.

Quora uses ChatGPT which hallucinates an answer to a nonsense question.

Google Search picks up this nonsense answer from Quora which has high page rank and treats it as an instant answer.

"Subscribing" to mailing lists via sourcing a pop3 mailbox from lore.kernel.org now works. Should be of particular interest to gmail users.

I'll document after some more initial testing.

Fun part of building a home server with a domain name is the public IP can change. I wrote a script updating DNS A record periodically because of this. This is not a perfect solution though; DNS propagation time takes some time. But it should be sufficient for my service.

small progress on the kernel testing side project: I did setup LAVA instance in addition to Jenkins and made it publicly available.

it took few weeks due to issues with hardware :(

this is home server so can't provide excellent stability and uptime but here it is:

my jenkins VM was mysteriously shut down continuously without any log. I spent some time figuring out why, but it was the host's OOM killer that killed it. chrome tabs that I forgot to close was eating up 100% of the memory. fun ;)

but 32gib for a browser was too much? was it memory leak?
