Outreachy is getting squeezed financially from reduced funding related to diversity programs and reduced funding for open source orgs. Can you help us spread the word about how important the program is and help us connect to folks who might contribute funding?

I basically assume all toots are public on Mastodon, but they aren't— quite confusing.
Forget very often to differentiate public and private ones at the first time.

BTW obviously if you're American please for the sake of everyone else in the world VOTE a week next Tuesday.
Not going to dictate to you who to vote for but obviously I think there's only one sane choice and she's called Kamala Harris.
Even if you don't much like her, her party, or her policies, the alternative is so deeply shit and depressing just swallow your pride and do it.
If you do like her/her party/her policies then vote for her.
(yeah I lied I am dictating the choice sorry not sorry)
But either way GO AND VOTE!
Trump will concede the war in Ukraine to Russia, and if they win there, next he will attack a NATO country. Think about that. The people there fight for all of us.
The (alleged) greatest fraudster in modern history (+ alleged traitor to his own country and allegedly regularly in contact with Putin) Musk will be given a total reprieve and control of part of the US govt.
And this of course is far from the only issue that utter orange moron will wreak havoc upon.
GET UP.
GO VOTE.

I can't get this song out of my head..
In Korea this kind of song is called a 'banned song' for SAT because students can't focus on studying :P

Reviewing what I learned about Linux context switching years ago because I forgot how it works.
A note for the next time I forget:
Context is switched from one kernel context to another. When a user process is going to be rescheduled, it first switches from user context to its kernel context after storing the registers on the kernel stack (pt_regs) due to a scheduler tick.
When switching between kernel contexts, only callee-saved registers are restored (from cpu_context in thread_struct), as the other registers should have been stored on the kernel stack (by the calling convention) before calling __switch_to()->cpu_switch_to() (on ARM64).

init_task is not the task_struct of the init process but of the swapper process.
It confuses me every time.

I spent last week debugging why my machine was dead. The symptom was that it would turn off right away when it's turned on. I suspected the root cause was either the CPU, memory, motherboard, or power supply failing. So I replaced every component with parts from another computer, but it still didn't work.
The root cause was that the power button of the case was broken, causing it to always appear as if it was pressed, so it would turn off every time I turned it on. That was totally unexpected. I just replaced the power line with the reset line and it works fine now.
