I think I wait buying a new computer up until 3950X3D is out and then make a pre-order. I want a mATX form factor machine. I sold my PC when I started at Parity Technologies so for now have to survive with a shitty Thinkpad ;-)

The only other part I know for sure is https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/meshify/meshify-2-mini/black-tg-dark-tint/

This is because I only ever buy Fractal Design cases :-)

Can't wait for the smell of a fresh computer...

@oleksandr more i've used 6.11 in fedora more i feel like that kernel release was a mistake ;-) random crashes, wifi not working etc. no time to write bug reports all the time...

x.x.x.x - - [10/Nov/2024:00:02:37 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 301 162 "-" "okhttp/4.9.0"

You know what’s interesting about this log line? It repeats 56,686,963 times in www.kernel.org logs for yesterday, across 4 nodes. That’s about 700 times a second, and this has been going on for months.

These requests aren’t intentionally malicious – they issue a simple GET /, receive their 301 redirect, and terminate the connection. From what I can tell, this is some kind of appliance or software installed on mobile clients that uses “can I reach www.kernel.org” as a network test.

This wouldn’t be that big of a deal – a single plaintext “GET /“ that triggers an immediate 301 is very cheap for us to generate, but the number of these requests has been steadily growing.

If you have any idea what this is and how to make it stop, please reach out?

@mairacanal After knowingly realizing the different order of vim and helix I don't find too complicated to use both either. Vim is "do-select" and helix is "select-do" :-) That's the main philosophical difference.

@mairacanal Yes.

You just have to generate the compile_commands.json manually as shown by my example in this toot. That is the file that will be recognized by clangd (the LSP server for C). You have to build the kernel first so thus I have that separate "LSP build" stored under ".clangd".

For anyone who cares my helix config is available at: https://codeberg.org/jarkko/skeleton/src/branch/main/.config/helix

@mpdesouza I gave a test run for a (trivial) kernel patch: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/20241113002414.609168-1-jarkko@kernel.org/T/#u

Was not a bad experience and finding files with <space> + f was convenient. Will try another time.

I have to agree with Boris. It's a force majeure situation. What else could we do. I'd guess that UK would get support from Nordic and Baltic states if this action was taken and there would be a coalition.

And DRPK troops terrorizing Europe is unacceptable. Any country who brings them here in this region should pay the consequences. It's even orthogonal to the war situation. North Korea is an enemy state and any aggressive action from such should receive a clear and brutal response.

one aerc feature i always keep forgetting:

1. s: toggle the message view in a horizontal split.
2. S: toggle the message view in a vertical split.

#aerc #email

It's not mentally hard to switch betwen vim and helix because vim is "do-select" and helix is "select-do". They play opposites.

#helix #vim #editor

@mpdesouza So I did a kernel workaround in .config/helix/languages.toml:

[[language]]
name = "c"
indent = { tab-width = 8, unit = "\t" }

:-) I mean I rarely use anything else than kernel convention for any C code not a big deal… Still would be nice to have editorconfig eventually for some contribution or something.

For using compile_commands.json with kernel this the workflow I’ve ended up with:

make ARCH=x86_64 O=./.clangd x86_64_defconfig                                       
make ARCH=x86_64 O=./.clangd menuconfig
make ARCH=x86_64 O=./.clangd -j`nproc`
scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py -d ./.clangd

This way it does not confuse e.g. BuildRoot when I point out my BuildRoot with LINUX_OVERRIDER_SRCDIR to my local kernel tree. Not sure if there is better way to do this but feels like a working workflow in my case.

Nice to see some real innovation with Rust in text editors instead pwning the GPU or similar features. If you editor will not work in terminal, it will end up sucking in the end, as far as I’m consdered :-) Not minding of having also GUI but first things first…

@rolle propsit muuten jäbän irssi-teemasta, tuli tämmöinen ihan vahingon kautta vastaan: https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/weed !

@rolle.wtf@bsky.brid.gy @rolle tää taas on vähän niin kuin usenet tai sitä ennen fidonet (muinaisina BBS-aikoina). semmoista kirjavampaa keskustelua ja näkemystä, ei niin poliittisten suuntausten dominoimaa.

@rolle.wtf@bsky.brid.gy @rolle jos jonkun somen poistasin vielä niin bsky olis ekana tappolistalla ;-) se on vähän niin kuin vasemmiston twitter ja X on oikeiston twitter. siirrytty kahteen hiekkalaatikkoon.

@wren3n also vim already had too many features, so for it never made sense to break the old ones and pile bunch of new ones on top... it is called inconsistency in my books :-) making something completely new from clean slate is something i get much better. and for terminal.

@Conan_Kudo @fedora I use VisionQuest2 for baremetal kernel testing :-) I think you saw the screenshot that I put while ago: https://social.kernel.org/notice/AnfOy9iKK7ZP1YNvfc

It's pretty cool setup and even has outboard gear (a real TPM2 chip) connected :-) I use it in kernel testing by build image with BuildRoot.

For any RISC-V board used for development I'd recommend to download its user guide and search if it can be put into SDIO boot mode with e.g. some PIN switches. That means that you can have the whole boot chain in SD card including U-boot and OpenSBI.

@wren3n it breaks the bits that i actually use :-) e.g. elevated commands (you can sudo in ex) and remotes. and plugins often makes it not work like vim i.e. make it something else than vim is. i've been a vim user since 1998 so in that time you get into habbits :-) actually a completely new thing but still modal is easier to get off those habbits. it's totally subjective thing really.

@dngrs thanks for responses. you're always beginner in something :-)

@mpdesouza different key strokes is not that confusing after a while. i still love (non-neo) vim for raw text editing, and different strokese actually help me to be aware which editor I'm using ATM :-) and helix has very intuitive contextual help system.

There's also PR for editorconfig so I guess that some day that will land too https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/1777/

Plugin systems sort of make everything as a programming language. I like the simplicity of "opionated" features even if one knob that i'd like to be there is missing. It also gives guaranteed ubiquitos UX when i login to different systems as everything has the "same plugins".

With Rust I've accepted the reality that I cannot simply survive with plain Vim. So using more and more Helix with that. I don't GUI and I dislike NeoVim so Helix has started to stick on me over the last year more and more.

One feature that I like a lot in Helix is "no plugins" ;-) That's fresh. One thing that I wished it had, and thus not applicable for kernel development, is the support for ".editorconfig". Once it has that I can try to write a kernel patch with it.
