Linux kernel hacker and maintainer etc.

@bjorntopel I put this diplomatically: this was not my cup of tea :-) I was neither happy with the tech nor the community so better drop early when your red flags arise. Might make sense for some else (not judging), just my personal evalution.

I'm rest of the month on holiday but I found something new [1]. See this post: https://social.kernel.org/notice/Ar6Tv8hqSC3dQI72Ce

For the first time for a while working on kernel on paid work time (e.g. measured boot and stuff like that) and also their Linux stack as a whole (https://puavo.org/ and Debian based Opinsys OS).

Nice to do something more rooted, and on basics and definitely not over the top TBH...

This is sometimes useful feature that is not very common but evolution has it :-)

I even have one inbox that requires it (infradead.org).

@vbabka @ljs

It was like that you’ll only get the best single discount that applies at checkout, which made sense to me, as I had now three books of which two were cheap.

@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".
