@jani BTW, were you asking about loopback driver or was it someone else? Yesterday, after year not touching the code I migrated the driver to use VB2, remove all other features except capture, and implemented file descriptor based life-cycle model for the /dev/videoX devices.
Someone pinged me about i t around Dec and that got me so stressed that I actually had to open the text editor ;-)
Those three issues were basically lowest common denominator to send RFC patches. I need to polish what I came up for some time but it is now in my internal queue :-)

@jani More older I get, less I want to do myself. I turn every rock before I realize, "this actually needs to be done". It's like sending fucking special forces, when you touch the text editor and write code or configure software manually :-D

@jani For email, and especially for managing multiple subaddresses such as iki.fi and kernel.org forward, I've fallen in love with Fastmail recently (about a year ago) :-) They've really polished that service in recent years.

Not actually sure what would be correct location in the kernel tree for video loopback driver. It's ATM in v4l2-core which is probably where it should NOT be...

When it comes to open source contributions I have always like 10 of them going on in some phases but usually turn-down time is like two'ish years. It does not make sense to continue at the time if you lost direction and things tend kept backed in the public Internet :-)

Fuck, it is hard to touch over year old kernel code and it looks ugly as hell but I finally moved my ass and started to decompose and compose video-loop's code. First goal is to get it behind file descriptor life-cycle, limit /dev/videoX only for readers and stream with VB2.
In OOT driver the single biggest glitch is to have a racy produce-consumer model based on device node. Many have asked me to revisit the thread that discussed it in LKML but I actually have not done it because I can immediately see what is wrong in big picture. It's that and also common issue for OOT driver i.e., they tend to become "wish baskets of features" where nothing is ever removed and things are piled up inconsistently.
It would totally worthless to spend time on reading comments on a design that I don't believe in and could distract on being productive ;-) And I can stand any shit storm, it's a professional skill really and like any other day at the office so fuck with that...
I hope I get something running tonight :-)

@securepaul Also the irony is that US special forces visit regularly in Scandinavian countries in order to learn the skills on how to operate in arctic conditions, and defend the territory.

@securepaul Yeah, comparing Denmark to Venezuela as a society was sort of arrogance that actually made me angry. I mean they've lost most people per capita than any other NATO ally in wars started by US.
I would not be surprised if all Fentanyl was coming from Greenland to US suddenly.

@securepaul Ah, OK, have not been a common visitor in recent years (as you know). Then there should not be a problem. Thanks for the correction :-)

Considering LSS NA, I wonder do I need to take helmet and gasmask with me, if I end up going there, because the shit that I'm seeing in news etc. is fucking beyond insane o_O

If you put Apple’s designs in reverse order it looks like the portfolio of a designer becoming really really good at their job 😂
