Just wanted try out what I minimally need for qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel arch/x86/boot/bzImage:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -e
make defconfig
scripts/config --set-str CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE "initramfs.txt"
yes '' | make oldconfig
cat > initramfs.txt << EOF
dir /dev 755 0 0
nod /dev/console 644 0 0 c 5 1
nod /dev/loop0 644 0 0 b 7 0
dir /bin 755 1000 1000
slink /bin/sh busybox 777 0 0
file /bin/busybox initramfs/busybox 755 0 0
dir /proc 755 0 0
dir /sys 755 0 0
dir /mnt 755 0 0
file /init initramfs/init.sh 755 0 0
EOF
mkdir initramfs
curl -sSf https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main/x86_64/busybox-static-1.36.1-r25.apk | tar zx --strip-components 1
cp busybox.static initramfs/busybox
cat > initramfs/init.sh << EOF
#!/bin/sh
mount -t proc none /proc
mount -t sysfs none /sys
sh
EOF

Do not use Kate but since Krita has been so successful could be a good move 🤷 I mean Krita has been successful to the point that people know Krita but do not necessarily know KDE.

My B4 #OLPC prototype, 15+ years old. Original battery. Still works and battery charging is no problem. Impressive little machine :)

@kernellogger if you consider audio plugins they are actually just data processors so getting windows IO work right in Linux is the key. I don't see then actually any reason to do actual Linux ports of those plugins because with right stack underneath you could make the already existing Windows plugins perform better than in native Windows.
https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge sort of solved the audio equation except for the IO part that requires better support from kernel. now we get that part right...

@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.

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 @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...

jarkkoIf my #LKML responses have been a bit confusing this week there’s a good reason for that:
- I had covid infection first part of the week unknowingly.
- 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.
