As always Raymond Chen delivers. This time on why Windows 95 setup needed three stages of operating systems 👇

@ljs @vbabka It's like every second day of my life when I need to check up how some shenanigan in mm actually works so I would bet my money on that ;-)

@vbabka My future employer (starting next month) made an order of two copies of this book ;-) The CEO just emailed me when I said that we need the new testament of Linux. That said, I'm still going to make also my personal purchase, with my own money.

Question about V4L2: there are these controllers and some events are defined in the core layer (or whatever it is called).

Is it like that they are processed multiple times:

1. Once by the core framework.
2. Once by the drivers that register them.

Or if driver registers an event, does it sort of take ownership of it?

Sorry for not using correct terminology.

Intenet search reminds me more and more of the end of . Even (or especially) when you were searching for something specify search result became more and more polluted. If you were lucky you would find something meaningful on page 5. But quite often you would give up and started playing with exclusion

Very frustrating.

@andrewg @nwalfield And you really know how to pitch your software.

Usually it is like "look I made this better version of this tool with Rust" or something, and not pointing out the exact features that help to solve a particular problem (and more often than not you end up finding that the particular tool cannot resolve your problem).

This type doing right things right is rare today (unfortunately).

@andrewg,
@nwalfield I did not expect anything to this, and got so much great feedback, thank you!

hatch has also the nice feature shared with cargo apparently, i.e. "--fix".

@andrewg Thanks much appreciated! I will check this out, thank you. But might take a few weeks, but I put that to my unofficial employer agnostic backlog ;-)

I have one IETF implementation in progress that I should some day finish up for TPM2 bits:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-woodhouse-cert-best-practice/

I've started v8 of this but other stuff got in the way:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/20240528210823.28798-1-jarkko@kernel.org/

Not forgotten tho, sometimes things just take a bit of time :-)

@nwalfield I'll experiment. Never tried sequioa before but have heard good things about it, thanks for pointing these two commands out!

@andrewg Or if I revoke my old certificate key, also my legacy subkeys will have problems sooner or later. That would leave me in a situation being in-between the "crypto subspaces".

@andrewg Yeah, so I'm also pro-actively worried about web of trust in this case, as unless I can migrate trust to a new ceritficate key, it is impossible to use it in future new subkeys e.g. for signing Git tags for Linux kernel.

Any ideas how do I bind :nohlsearch in Zed's vim mode to a key?

I'd like to bind it exactly to CTRL+L, just like in my .vimrc for the sake of ubiquitous text editing experience:

@andrewg Less migration in one shot :-) I could create new ones if that is impossible but then I need to update e.g. my authentication key in a number of places.

@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...

Edited 9 months ago
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? ;-)
