Linux kernel hacker and maintainer etc.

OpenPGP: 3AB05486C7752FE1
@kernellogger Also this is the reason why sometimes there should more emphasis on commit message than code change itself. Commit message is not only a notification that "I added this pile of crap here". It's also micro-instructions for maintainer how to take care of the changes in the future. In the case on this patch set, I have no complains on this.

@kernellogger np, it was on me :-) If I ack something, in the end of the day that's my responsibility, e.g. not even in original author's responsibility.

This is also main reason why people should not get offended if a maintainer does not take their changes in. It's also commitment for some extra work... even sometimes when you're on holiday ;-)

@kernellogger Put out a PR: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/D2HKE740MWCK.2O7S4KF56L929@kernel.org/

I did all three QA rounds running selftests, creating some trusted keys etc. for all three combinations mentioned in the cover letter, and also Michael Ellerman tested this on PPC so it should be pretty solid fix.

@duxsco I've considered unlimited expiration dates but this enforces me to do inventory for my db ;-) so i bump them like 2-3 years in future when this happens. e.g. now i revoked couple of keys that i no longer possess, now that i had anyway had to do this dance.

Great! I got my #nolife back! #OpenPGP expiration dates bumped! I need to send critical bug fixes for Linux 6.10 and it is my first holiday week, so was a crap timing... #holiday #life

Got a pile of random #vinyl ’s from my ex because she was moving that I had forgotten. Literally from the attic.

@ljs @oleksandr yeah, there's bunch of cool shops like https://www.juno.co.uk/. Have not ordered anything from the post-brexit.

@ljs @oleksandr ya, I don't know much about UK politics. I try to also keep my distance to Finnish politics because for some reason I always get a bad face when I read anything even distantly related to politics ;-)

One thing I neither get in Sweden nor UK is that why monarchy is still present but I guess it is a great tourist attraction like some zoo with super rare almost extincted animals :-)

I guess BREXIT was not that great decision. Before that happened, I used to spend at least few hundred euros per year ordering goods from UK. Now I spent less than hundred for printed media, which you can order customs free to some limit (might have been 150 EUR or similar figure). I don't think I was a "snowflake" in this one. Hope it gets reversed some day so I can loose my money for the benefit of your economy again ;-)

@ljs @oleksandr Isn't the PM sitting always the worst ever, like universally in any democratic country?

.... and opposition parties, which are as retarded as PM's party, represent "the change".

@seve_py after doing some work for few days i stripped down the stuff that i don't need. just wanted see what kind of fancy stuff is out there ;-) [see above]

I love that I don't need cross my fingers every time the plugins update to a new version, like I had to with neovim for past four years :-) Often a plugin update could cause editor to collapse if it wasn't a bleeding edge version.

It is pretty obvious that #Zig will eventually have weight given what #Ueber has shown it can do in production: any C/C++ project can be converted within days to a Zig project.

ncdu is an open source example of the same: https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu. I'd bet some larger scale and notable C/C++ open source project will convert to Zig within next few years.

If Rust is the new C++, I guess Zig is the new Objective-C...

I am writing a book entitled The Linux Memory Manager.

It's intended to be a thorough overview of the memory management subsystem combining a walk through the code with a description of the key concepts as well as a chapter on practical kernel memory management.

EDIT: The first draft is complete :) Now editing the book.

It targets linux v6 with a target release date of mid-late 2024.

Check out https://linuxmemory.org/ and this account for details of my progress.
