I've been for a while planning for a while to add anonymous inodes but every time I start doing that I noticed similar step as the commits below the top-most are. It's better to work like this up until pieces go to right by themselves.

There's also still too much mess to take any bold actions on the use of locks. It also would need much cleaner starting point :-) This is time-consuming, unproductive but also fun...

We meet again after three week break:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jarkko/linux-tpmdd.git/log/?h=v4l2-loopback

I collect below the top-most commits that are locked in as pretty much dead obvious changes and the top-most commit (whatever its name happens to be) is the dumpster.

I started this by unpurging the top-most just to recall where I was at. Commit ID's live as I might add a new commit in any position (as deep down in history as possible as it makes sense).

nina

so i heard you wanted a filesystem that is copy on write, in-tree (so not zfs), does not eat your data (so not btrfs) and is not maintained by a certain person (so not bcachefs)?

i present you, ocfs2, or oracle's cluster file system version 2

you say that it's for shared network disks in clusters? here i put it as a root filesystem, on a core 2 duo thinkpad, running off a single usb stick on usb 2.0

If I want to test Ubuntu kernel in a VM what do I need to change in this old snippet of mine:

git fetch --no-tags git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel-test/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/mainline-crack refs/tags/cod/mainline/v6.3-rc7:refs/tags/cod/mainline/v6.3-rc7
git checkout next
git checkout -b next-test
git merge cod/mainline/v6.3-rc7
LANG=C fakeroot debian/rules clean
LANG=C fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic

The problem: that URL no longer responds.

#ubuntu

GNU Gold Linker Is Deprecated & Will Be Gone For Good Without New Developers

With the recent GNU Binutils 2.44 release, one of the changes is worth calling out in its own article: the GNU Gold linker is now officially deprecated and is now being segregated to its own extra Binutils package but risks being removed all together without new developer volunteers stepping up to maintain this linker...

I've said this before but if you need to test something with graphics but don't want to use GPU, try either:

1. https://github.com/emoon/rust_minifb
2. https://github.com/emoon/minifb

They give you display and 32-bit framebuffer. No bullshit. Neither is dependent on the other. They just implement same things.

Even Web is supported (in both) when compiled to wasm (I'd guess).

Sometimes using GPU can really get in the way of testing so good keep in mind :-)

#minifb #cpu #gpu #framebuffer #c #rust

@Aissen Yep :D Something based in Finland. These times are so windy that local jobs are the best possible option... I always have this global unpaid job anyhow :-)

Tue: lost a job

On a fast track I guess... Feels like almost plane crash in Indiana Jones movie or Servo's contribution curve between 2018 and today :-)
