why wifi is so sensitive? year and decade after it always seem to oops. not blaming anyone really just wondering...

it's not usually even wpa supplicant but straight up kernel oops...

i mean it can be hardware/acpi/firmware etc. that causes this...

Or maybe WiFi is a feature that we should rewrite with Rust? I mean regular oops is at least evidence of regular memory corruption. Even my non-geek friends seem to "know" that Linux always blows on suspend, so it is also kind of a "brand issue", at least in non-Android client use cases.

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).

ace, no immediate need for threadripper build machine: i can get surprsingly fast rust builds with apple m2 mini pro and asahi linux (12 cores, 32 GB RAM) :-) i'll revisit build machine problem next year...

@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".
