Despite yesterdays rant on #Intel #GPU I cannot wait to have the slice of time to test various things like drm-tip. My own computer failings gives a chance me to learn a tiny bit of new in #Linux #kernel :-) So I'm always excited when my computers fails.

@liw Toi on vähän samaa välinpitämättömyyden genreä kuin "minulla ei ole mitään salattavaa" :-)

@ljs @josh @jvschrag Yeah, usually a great meetings is kind of "accomplish a mission" with those people who matter for accomplishing that goal. Then usually people say what they need to say because the whole thing is somewhat goal oriented. Does not need that much preparing. Can be compared to something like going to a bank to negotiate mortgage loan or similar scenario :-)

@timojyrinki @vbabka i've tried this a million times and with both of the major browser, no luck. opensuse bugzilla is inaccessible for me unfortunately.

@josh @jvschrag i.e. consider meeting a product that you love or hate.

@josh @jvschrag meetings should have a QA process :-) it is the only asset in corps that is not too eagerly measured.

I.e. instead of arguing how meetings should or should not be there should be some way to measure their quality and continuously improve them like any other asset. I'd guess what works is something that has a time parameter and depends on company's overall state etc.

i think this is also major glitch of existing agile processes (scrum, kanban etc.). they are in the end of the day static and unrobust.

@aras not a big suprise, i mean management engine has also used SPARC in the past: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/management_engine

Ok, the fact that the "AI" (NPU) chip controller inside Intel's new Meteor Lake CPUs uses SPARC instruction set (from 1990?) was not on my bingo cards for this year. https://chipsandcheese.com/2024/04/22/intel-meteor-lakes-npu/

@Andi Luckily I’ve recently tested SGX cgroups patches with Tumbleweed, i.e. know how to compile equivalent distro kernel (as it is made for OpenSUSE) for any possible kernel tree :-) So can easily try this out once the bandwidth is available.

It is maybe even easier than Ubuntu kernel (which has been easiest so far):

./scripts/install-git-hooks # not sure whether this is really required
./scripts/tar-up.sh 
export LINUX_GIT=~/work/linux-tpmdd # clean clone swithed to branch of your choice
./scripts/osc_wrapper kernel-source/kernel-default.spec

The packages land to /var/tmp/build-root/standard-x86_64/home/abuild/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64. And obviously needs to be signed with a MOK key if secure boot is turned on.

@jani @timojyrinki that said prefixes do have measurable benefits for a developer! :-)

e.g. if have such prefix missing from some function that i maintain and i get a patch with that rationale, i most likely ack it despite being somewhat cosmetic change.
