My request to convert fucks to hugs from 2018 has now been officially canceled. I stamp this with my fav "fuck-phrase" i.e. "fuck the fucking fuckers".

Quite amazing: I can reach less than 3 min compilation time for this repository with my Mac combined with sccache: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk.

Next steps:

1. Use mold as the linker
2. Re-install Asahi Linux (I screwed up my Asahi installation ;-))

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".
