@liw Fuck. It's not far away way I do it :-D

I've tried e.g. restic but for some reason they don't stick on me...

I've used this lame backup tool that I wrote many years ago, which takes a selection of subdirectories and makes tar.xz out of them and copy that to my NAS:

https://codeberg.org/jarkko/adhoc-backup/src/branch/main/adhoc-backup

Not even incremental/delta backup but it does the job and I keep only five backups in my circle...

The reason being the key length. Right, and I also would like to re-parent my subkeys if I ever do that.

Sometimes I feel that I'd like migrate my certificate key some day from the current RSA-4096 to ED-25519.

Can I bless the trust to the new certificate key or do I actually have to fucking meet F2F other kernel maintainers? ;-)

#linux #kernel #pgp

@liw BTW how do you backup as of today? Thinking about refurnishing my local NAS backup strategy :-)

@bshankar i like this too :-) good catch, thanks!

In addition to linux-media, I also subscribed to rust-for-linux for the sake of

1. Learning
2. Tested-by (aka "show me the payload")

Not for nuking Rust per se...

#linux #kernel #rust

Right. fRUSTration. How I never grabbed that albeit I'm a sucker for word plays ;-)

#rust #rustlang

Is CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT something that I should look forward on using for new V4L2 drivers?

#linux #kernel #media #video

@triskelion Personally, no opinion on topic, but git grep told me so ;-)

@MEActNOW While not accepting any actions by Elon today, that song is lying in multiple occasions... Or at minimum it's not exactly correct. I dislike everything he is today but I'm also objective on truth, even on people that I proactively hate.

@raven667 OK so I totally misread part what you said (I have dyslexia).

Is there a driver in kernel tree that I can test with it? That obviously changes the picture.

@MEActNOW boring company? :-)

@triskelion We don't use SPDX-FileCopyRightText.

Finally found a Zed theme that I love :-) #zed #editor

IMHO, this tells that “it’s about time”:

The new URL for video-loop.ko:

https://codeberg.org/jarkko/linux-video-loop

Smoke test:

https://codeberg.org/jarkko/video-loop-test

#linux #kernel #media #video #loopback

Removed in the end all of "ATTRIBUTES" in https://github.com/v4l2loopback/v4l2loopback/blob/main/README.md.

Even in the case they would make sense, they can be left out, so not much analysis needed for scraping them.

The kref change was internal prequel, and this first API break is the external prequel:

#define _UAPI_LINUX_VIDEO_LOOP_H

#define VIDEO_LOOP_CTL_REMOVE _IOW('v', 0x01, __u32)

#endif /* _UAPI_LINUX_VIDEO_LOOP_H */

If you have any comments on the fields, please spare me dude ;-) I don’t expect this to be final as in FINAL. It is good enough for RFC.

Glitches that will be fixed by anonymous inode:

1. device_fd is still unfilled.

2. capabilities accepts right now only V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE | V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_OUTPUT.

3. For obvious reasons, VIDEO_LOOP_CTL_REMOVE is ought to be deleted.
