I'm going to Barcelona next month to the end of year party of the company I'm a contractor for to eat some tapas and get drunk enough to at least temporarily forget the deepness of shit we're at in this world led by tyrants.

This is I think the last remaining KNOWN (cannot say anything about unknowns obviously) performance regression with the TPM2 bus encryption: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/20241107004708.108667-1-jarkko@kernel.org/

I'm pretty satisfied since the feature landed to 6.10. Couple of point releases to fix the performance regressions is totally normal, in the case of larger architectural change.

@arrrg @cmccullough yeah well... the obvious alternative is to jump off the cliff, so compared to that i pick hope as my poison ;-) besides i do have my inner survivalist and secretly dream of living in a fallout universe, if things come down to that...

Compiling C software:

- 5 seconds codegen
- 30 seconds compiling C code
- 1 second linking
- 34 hours of autotools checking whether it's running in a universe where 2+2=4

i was actually blown up how fast it can deal with over 2100 subcrates (the amount piles up through recursive dependencies, the project itself does not have that many).

@arrrg @cmccullough I agree... But I'm trying to bring the viewpoint that as long as you can say that out loud what you just said, there's hope, right? :-)

@cmccullough @arrrg Personally I do see US as a democracy but definitely some things could be fixed up :-) I think like maybe few decades ago post second world war maybe US was actually a dream society to pursue your own dream...

@cmccullough As an outsider, I'd see the jail system in US the top priority thing to sort out. If jail inmates could vote, I don't think it would last...

A small PR for keyring, did not make much sense to hold these back: https://lore.kernel.org/keyrings/D5FB9PK9DD35.1B1VBVMPOZPRS@kernel.org/

At least voiced by our current government, and more broadly shared by the whole political spectrum: Finland will continue to support Ukraine as long as it takes.

It's called talvisodan henki aka "the spirit of the winter war".

Bad jokes aside here's the ONLY positive thing I see in Trump winning.

It's the last season of Apprentice and psychopaths usually don't have competitive followers. E.g. J.D. Vance would not stand a chance without being a sidekick of Trump.

The other side of the coin is unfortunately that psychopaths like to take down the whole world, once they go down.

So, if the world can mitigate the next four years, there will be light at the end of the tunnel.

I think it's going to be more important than ever that and the are not centrally operated out of the US like almost every other social media platform out there.

@cmccullough Especially since you can get your voting right removed based on conviction at least in some states (I think that convicted criminals should have right to vote even when doing jail time).

Good job America! "The extra 4 GtCO₂ₑ from a second Trump term [will] negate – twice over – all of the savings from deploying wind, solar and other clean technologies around the world over the past five years."

Europe followed the US into Afghanistan. Then US voters elected Trump and he pulled the plug.

Europe let the US lead the defence of Ukraine. And now US voters have voted for Trump, who wants Putin to win.

Europe has centered it's security politics around a US led NATO, and American voters have now voted for Trump, who wants to pull out of NATO.

It is time for a stronger, more capable, and fully independent Europe.

For our generation, this is our Churchill moment — it is time to lead.
