@kernellogger hmm... is this inspired *BSD? have a faint memory that it had something similar but could remember wrong. nice addition anyway although personally ntsync driver is the thing for me in the next release :-)

I've been strongly opinionated that CPU vendors are not paying the price of getting their confidential computing technologies to upstream but just made up analogue what goes wrong.

Think of desktop Linux. It is not business at scale but it is still mandatory piece for enabling business at scale.

Think of the world where Linux would run only on data centers but all development could be done only in Windows, and for testing, even when just playing with an idea, you would need a server rack with four figure price.

This is the world of confidential computing.

@harrysintonen I wonder if they do something similar in Tampere University network. I get oauth2 tokens created with Thunderbird in Linux but not with GNOME Evolution or any more sensible other email client. So I don't use tuni address for email at all...

With Linux 6.10 #ntsync driver combined with #wineasio you can get better #Windows than native Windows is for audio in some ways.

FL Studio is fast and smooth and you can do incremental backups for your full audio setup by simply archiving the wine folder. E.g. try a random plugin and revert back to previous wine folder after the experiment with all the crap cleaned up.

@ljs Yeah, and even if someone is an "arsehole" I like to think that maybe next day things will be different :-) Every patch is a new chance for a person to prove different, that's how I like to roll...

When it comes "non-inclusive" language and even "toxic language", I try to keep somewhat high threshold before making any conclusions.

Sometimes a non-native speaker can do that by mistake because of less vocabulary and taking this into account is also one way of being "inclusive".

Usually when I get a response that feels just nasty the action I take is not to respond at all because when people get pissed trying to discuss about it just leads to non-constructive debate. Sometimes there's reason for that nasty response, e.g. a mistake that I've made or something I've ignored, but there are better and worse work weeks, and life outside the work affects the performance.

That is the reason why I think not responding at all to a "more toxic" response is the best action taken because also the person who responds might just have a bad week, and despite CoC and everything people sometimes cannot control their nerves - that's just human.

@ikkeT @saaste joo siis vois olla yhtä hyvin myös Debian, Ubuntu tai muu suht hyvin tuotteistettu paketti. Lähinnä että on järkevät defaultit ja joku muu kuin ite joutuu pitää huolta siitä konfiguraatiosta :-)

Most of the issues have been in Finnish but there's been couple of internal editions over the years too...

@ikkeT @timojyrinki @vathpela @viznut @vwbusguy There's this non-profit organization funded mag in Finland that has had really nice insights about older hardware over the years that is published four times a year: https://skrolli.fi/en/

@kernellogger @torvalds @troglobit I've already said too much here but I'll underline that in my opinion LSM's are important even tho they are not important in my *personal* desktop :-) Not bashing the tech at all, still I think that what is not LSM would rest of us understand the concept better than now, especially when it comes to stacking...

If my #LKML responses have been a bit confusing this week there’s a good reason for that:

  1. I had covid infection first part of the week unknowingly.
  2. Latter part of the week I’ve been recovering from that.

Thanks for understanding :-) I’m already feeling fine and should be again full capacity next week. Apologies about any possible confusion or whatever.

@ikkeT @saaste Sen havainnon oon tehnyt kernelikehittäjien keskuudessa, että joku perus Fedora tai OpenSUSE on yleisempi kuin joku virittelydistro. Jos teet työksesi jo sitä tunkkausta, niin ei sitä jaksa, että deskarikin on yks saatanan työmaa...

Tavallaan itseasiassa Gentoo on kaikista menestyinen Linux-deskari, koska ChromeOS on Gentoo-pohjainen :-) Chromebookit ei Euroopassa näy, mutta jenkeissä esim. ne on huomattavasti suositumpia.

@rolle @Suspikuutti @saaste @laamaa Intelin raudalla yleensä rauta on nopeammin enabloitu Linuxilla kuin millään muulla käyttiksellä, yleensä kuukausia ennen kuin sitä saa edes kaupoista. Ei sitä muuten saa myytyä datakeskuksiin. NVIDIA on tän suhteen murrosvaiheessa, mutta ottanee vielä jonkun aikaa ennen kuin ne pääsee open source-ajurinsa kanssa yhtä hyvän sykliin.

GPU:t on tullut datakeskuksiin jäädäkseen, ja se määrittelee noi prioriteetit, koska siitä tulee se ns. Linux-bisnes. Mitä deskarilla käytetään on bisnesprioriteettien kannalta aika yhdentekevää (for better or worse).

@polarity I don't have a reference at hand but I recall that in 2023 the average size of single web page was already over 2 MiB. So within few minutes you easily load as much of data as a single episode of TV series when you read the news and do some minor casual browsing.

I saw a while (this year anyway) ago a photo in Facebook taken by my friend working at hospital with XP running some medical system (no clue what it was exactly). Who knows what other mission critical systems there still are with XP deployed :-) https://www.neowin.net/news/end-of-life-microsoft-finally-terminates-support-for-windows-xp/

@ikkeT @timojyrinki @vathpela @vwbusguy other than demos, vic-20 would be more feasible system write hard real-time system of some kind because of predictability in the used clock cycles :-)
