@kernellogger IOW confused me, I'm not good with Internet acronyms so I mixed it up with _IOW first ;-) ioctl's fit to the driver context...

QOTD from @torvalds:

"'[…] no [] developer should spend one single second worrying about out-of-tree modules.

It's simply not a concern - never has been, and never will be.

Now, if some out-of-tree module is on the cusp of being integrated, and is out-of-tree just because it's not quite ready yet, that would maybe be then a case of "hey, wait a second".

But no. We are not going to start any kind of feature test macros for external modules […]'"

@colinianking [noticed your reaction] so I started to work on this before taking four weeks of during July and this is the angle: https://codeberg.org/jarkko/tpm2_library

I'm planning to first get all features of tpm2-scripts to it and then add those key generation functionalities. Rust felt natural choice because it is like "Java of system programming", i.e. I can get OpenSSL functionalities for instance by doing cargo add for the crate containing libssl bindings and writing few lines of code :-)

There is also tpm-rs endorsed by TCG but after looking at it a bit I though that yet another TPM stack that makes simple problem more complex than it should be. Did not feel lean and mean enough for kernel testing.

@Netux ive done a lot of work with CVA6 running on Kintex7 FPGA. After todays job interview it might be that I end up working with RISC-V but disliking *in detail* is where engineering starts 🙂 If you are happy with the status quo, it can be hard to be distruptive which essential in tech business.

@ljs @cwayne amazing how much time and detail jim has put this video, like finding sources for every single glitch, still gold after 14 years :-) this is what i call commitment. and this video really demonstrates how much microscopic detail liam howlett put into prodigy first albums, phenomenal. and all put together (in the original track) with Roland W-30 sampling keyboard (up until 3rd album which was sequenced with Cubase).

The PsychoPAC put up a new billboard outside Mar-a-Lago, and it is beautiful.

Thanks @gtconway3.

I ended up first in the oldskool demo competition of this year's Assembly. This wasn't self-evident, as there were several high-quality entries in the compo.

Technically, it's a one-file C-64 demo mostly consisting of character-mode animation made with the same tools I've used for a few VIC-20 demos. As for the social/poltical message, I also feel I'm repeating things I've said earlier, but perhaps I'm somewhat clearer this time.

There is something endearing in that many people still post their computer specs and highlights of their on the KVR Forum as part of their signature :-------)

@oleksandr @ljs For my defense, at the time when SGX was started I did not have a reference, and thus it was based on nothing :-) So it was a huge fight with mm to get it do something it was never designed for...

@katzenmann The main sponsors #Microsoft and #Google for Rust based kernel features have only the interest of closing ecosystems wherever they can. That power can be only mitigated by having defense in depth. Neither company has great history with Linux - except when you ask from their marketing people.

None of those help with governance. I don't think it is unstable and I neither care where it is hosted.

I think AI might be death of social engineering at least because its odds/risks ratio is worse.
