Linux kernel hacker and maintainer etc.

@pinganini @kernellogger I sort of get in the sense that it does a job if you don't need multi-boot and GRUB just adds extra cruft on top for dance moves that are never done on stage ;-) I've never used multi-boot so in that regard boot loaders do not really matter to me... Simpler is better I guess.

@ljs Some day I might invest one of these with some bad excuse related of doing exercise, absolutely premium in training watches ;-) https://www.suunto.com/en-gb/Product-search/See-all-Sports-Watches/

I could imagine world without virtual memory ;-) Like back 80s memory model. You could have security by CPU enforcing the borders (and actually would address quite many modern attack vectors).

Not a serious proposal. Still would be totally doable. Like if you have 128 GB of RAM with my normal use I could pretty much do all my tasks easily in partitioned environment.

@ljs have not noticed so far. it has felt pretty reliable to me :-) if i would really want to put cash to training watch I would go for something from Suunto.

My Casio looks rad too: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B09C65FS32?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

And its data connects to Apple's app ecosystem (can upload through bluetooth) so have been happy :-)

Considering Durov's arrest, it is not huge surprise since:

1. Telegram's security is not that great. Not sure if it is legislation compliant but I doubt it.
2. It has become the place for buying malware and stole data.
3. It has become the place for buying narcotics.

For two last I have no idea why is Telegram preferred over Tor these days.

Just in case anyone's still stuck with the SBAT issue on the Linux systems and can't easily disable secure boot for whatever reason - boot a live Fedora image, open a terminal, run

sudo mokutil --set-sbat-policy delete

and reboot. shim should now clear the sbat policy and you're back in business. Don't allow Windows Update to run again until things are sorted.

Learning new cool stuff for the upcoming work, i.e. extending LLVM IR processing :-) There's no pressure to do that but cannot help myself.

If I have a options, I try to pick jobs based getting to do something I've watched from the audience but would require way too much focus without being primary job.

I find it very clever and disruptive to consider RVA20U64 as a bytecode format with only less than 50 opcodes, which trivially map to ARM and x86 user space code. LLVM plugins should be able to do all kinds of optimizations in the JIT architecture, speeding up both the turnaround time of the compilation and quality of the compiled code for the target architecture (i.e. aarch64 or x86_64 in practice).

RISC-V CPU "softcore" (invented this term now because no idea what it is) is at least the first bytecode I actually like.

@ljs My parents take their apples to some kind of juice factory and then you can get it as juice and//or jam. If I had to deal with apples, I'd probably do the same, take them somewhere, pay and support a small business and get consumable products :-)

@raggi Actually I'll stretch this a bit and try to find something modest to contribute to rust-linux from areas where I hover in the kernel domain (maintain or contribute), and I can somehow convince myself that it would be a fit for using async.

That is probably for a kernel maintainer the best possible to draw bridges than do any possible low-hanging fruit alike random contribution. I wait week or few but proactively keep this idea in my mind.

Thanks for the inspiration!

After using Aerc over a year I suddenly realize that I can emulate set records= simply by commanding for a selection :move Trash.

Despite this, I’ve been using :move a lot like probably the same day I started using aerc in the first place 🌻
