v4l2-vcam represents a rare situation where I'm testing a patch with the host kernel (or finalizing).

Solid state batteries from Finland:

Svolt CEO has declared this as scam based on that "if China cannot deliver solid state, neither can anyone else" 🤷

Not actually sure what would be correct location in the kernel tree for video loopback driver. It's ATM in v4l2-core which is probably where it should NOT be...

Fuck, it is hard to touch over year old kernel code and it looks ugly as hell but I finally moved my ass and started to decompose and compose video-loop's code. First goal is to get it behind file descriptor life-cycle, limit /dev/videoX only for readers and stream with VB2.
In OOT driver the single biggest glitch is to have a racy produce-consumer model based on device node. Many have asked me to revisit the thread that discussed it in LKML but I actually have not done it because I can immediately see what is wrong in big picture. It's that and also common issue for OOT driver i.e., they tend to become "wish baskets of features" where nothing is ever removed and things are piled up inconsistently.
It would totally worthless to spend time on reading comments on a design that I don't believe in and could distract on being productive ;-) And I can stand any shit storm, it's a professional skill really and like any other day at the office so fuck with that...
I hope I get something running tonight :-)

It seems that Windows is purposely made worse version by version, and it is probably a strategy (i.e. not a mistake).
Still, what if the AI/subscription crap does not pay off or the market segment suffers a major decay?
Often history shows that when a company attacks to its own genes in the favor of profit, at some point this tends shoot back.
I'm worried about Windows, I always have at least one Thinkpad with Windows installed, and in the end of the day NT kernel itself is pretty cool entity (if you are interested on OS kernels).
Also, what is there to hate if Windows deceases :-/

mjg59@nondeterministic.computerIt is actually kind of wild that we're simultaneously in an era of people complaining that Wayland is destroying choice and also maybe the greatest number of high-quality desktop environments aimed at different use cases the free software world has ever had

Attacking to any of countries, or associated autonomous territories in the arctic region here in the cold and dark north would not be a walk in the park for any adversary.
Also, Denmark to its size has lost most soldiers per capita than any of the NATO allies in recent'ish wars started by US (mainly Afganistan and Irak).
The storyline that thanks to US protecting us our territories are safe is total bullshit. If anywhere in the world, in the north it is all about mutual benefit in defence and security when it comes to NATO.
E.g., US trains it special forces for arctic conditions in Finland from time to time.
