Rust kernel patches should really level up on commit messages and not merging random code with zero callers.

I welcome Rust but disobey not doing right things right :-)

If a commit message does not by practical means exist except some generic mumbling that would be best to be deleted. How do we e.g. know that a commit is not AI generated and unchecked by the author? If we don't know that we have objectively engineered a security leak as that can be eweaponized.

That is really dangerous type of trust. I'd just like check and not trust. Even if a patch would come from some ultra famous figure like Linus, Greg or even God himself, I'd still like to check, not believe the authority and based on that draw my OWN conclusions.

I actually do not even mind if some random patch would be AI generated. Use any tool you see fit. It is just that the commit message verifies that you UNDERSTAND what you are doing.

#SELinux must be awesome today because I've forgotten that it even exists in my system ;-)

@securepaul

I have not yet found this working too well but I did star the project, and will follow from the audience, and occasionally browse the issue database:

https://github.com/fossable/goldboot

Especially when you need tailored VM's and kernel's there's room for new shit so I hope the developer has patience with this, and continues push it forward.

I'd like to contribute too but right now I'm starting on a new job week after that plus I really want to finish up with video-loop.ko :-)

#goldboot #vm #image #build

Just found about Terra.

@orva Also one quite technical angle that came to mind: more often than not these type of people tend to push features over having legit processes for security (CVE's etc.). In infosec ignorance towards other people is not a great quality in a person.

It's pretty much the same deal that you don't want to police officers to be crazy psychopaths :-)

Despite Linux Memory Manager book is ~1300 pages, it is like Intel SDM, i.e. for a specific narrow topic the description is fast and easy to grab.

I just did my first test run with it by refreshing my oom_score_adj knowledge as I needed that and 3 minutes of reading was enough :-)

And I had not even peeked to the book before this. I got what I needed from this and I think next N years will be filled with these 3 min checkups.

Will be a HUGE time saver for me...

@orva I don't think any extremist mindset is best for the overall stability over long period time in like core projects that define the Internet ecosystem.

If that makes me a left-winger, then so be it ;-)

I.e. keep terrorists cells elsewhere, we still provide you the service, you just need to keep your dirty hands away from baking it, thank you ;-) (last one with a grain of salt, I have really bad jokes my apologies)

@orva Yeah I agree number of points that Drew made, and community around project matters to me for many reasons.

I don’t think actually anyone has ever said that you cannot state a critical point of any projects code of conduct if you put your argument in civilized manner. That said, there’s a million mile distance between critical on topic argument and targeted shit trolling.

This type of behavior reminds me of what e.g. Lunduke does. He mixes reporting of facts to extremist and hateful political propaganda, and then rationalizes that by saying he is the only person reporting real facts and open source projects have stolen by the left wing. The truth is that most big projects have moderate voters with various political views, also right wing voters.

It reminds me of that because doing one thing good is and should be zeroed if you use that as vehicle to distribute a destructive message to the community.

So yeah, this time I agree with Drew based on argument.

I'm a Chris Lewicki fanboy. For me asteroid mining or pursuing that still makes a lot of sense: https://www.chrislewicki.com/

Much better plan than conquer Mars.

@Aissen I deleted, because the fact check was impossible mission. I read so much shit that my head almost exploded while doing it. 🧟

@ljs @vbabka ur welcome, sorry apparently i make a lot of noise every single time lol :D well if it is free advertisement for u, right? ;-)

@vbabka @ljs apparently i'm bad at interpreting numbers and bad at web forms. Here's the final truth ;-)

The bugs:

1. I forgot to add the second coupon. So we never know the truth.
2. PREZDAY25 was discounted from the full order not from the most expensive book.

Well.. Umh... Hmm... lol.

Well, in the end of the day this did not go so badly. I still got -30% instead -25%.

@root42 An awesome channel, everyone should check this out: https://www.youtube.com/@root42

@root42, thanks for liking! BTW, I love your Youtube videos! Great stuff, keep on going.

@vbabka @ljs ah sorry ill check from order whether the two discounts add up. Sorry dyslexia!

@orva I’ll read the text word by word once back from gym 🙂 As said still yesterday this was neverheard for me

The EU stands in partnership with Moldova and the Moldovan people.

And we want to bring the country closer to our Union as fast as possible.

We welcome the political agreement between the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union on the Reform and Growth Facility for Moldova.

The agreed €1.9 billion Facility – the largest EU financial support package since Moldova's independence – is a key step in our partnership.

For a shared Europe of freedom, prosperity and stability.
