@vbabk I have not that much but one thing I did back in 2012 was arch/x86/realmode, which is relocatable (at least a bit more given limitations) version of the trampoline code used when waking up from suspend etc. It was like historical exhibition tour on x86 legacy layers at the same time ;-)

And as a teen I wrote a few 3D engines and stuff like that for MS-DOS then using either DOS/4GW or Tran's PMODE (never did my own so called "DOS extender") :-) Good times...

And right, another business reason: Atari STE. I have one with 4 megs of RAM. Would be perfect for CUBASE.

I don't actually need but I mean :-) Can't get over these. Have been stalking them for couple of years already (with trousers on).

I do own MiSTeR FPGA so there is a "business reason" to get one.

#Ardour is getting a tracker interface. Everybody says that #MIDI sucks in Ardour. I don't know because never used it. Maybe it is improving

@ljs Totally gets how little there is bandwidth for a maintainer to read nonsense prose and look at patches that do bunch of shit here and there. All so well scoped and digestible form. That is so rare that I have to say this public out loud!

@ljs I just reviewed bunch of Oracle patches, a patch set from Eric Biggers :-) I appreciate how sound he is splitting his work. A person who I can say that it is pleasure to review anything he puts out. So points on that to Oracle too 👍

I like to watch sometimes what Casey has been up to. Dude is the best show of #Linux conferences IMHO (no matter what the topic): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7cUnID7vFs

@vbabka fuck no xD i contribute, review and test code for free already. I mean who individual stupid enough to pour dimes to an org creamed with cash by literally all of multi-billion corps of the valley...

There was just link "Linux Foundation ID" (in a legit LF site, had to now check the certificates), which brought me to https://openprofile.dev/ where I created an account and then it started to push me MS services.

This discussions makes me feel like that I stepped into scam/phishing site by accident, and that is what literally happened ;-) Glad I did not put my credit card information anywhere. Next week probably I'm like a diamond sponsor together with AMD, Microsoft and others.

@vbabka I actually still don't know what it even is. Went there and it literally had nothing.

@vbabka Well... No! I actually did not know what it is. It was advertised in some page so I thought I will join :D So you are probably right. Looks like something I'm never going to login again.

@pinkforest Meanwhile in Finland home appliances executed a successful DoS attack against Nordea, which like maybe even biggest financial institution in Scandinavia 🙃 I'd like IoT to be more secure but on the other hand this live comedy brings so many laughs that I dunno really...
