Have not really checked this through but what is keeping v4l2loopback out of upstream?

It's useful for instance using a phone as a webcam during meetings, which actually quite useful (because e.g. iPhone actually has a quality camera).

That was a little scary. I asked ChatGPT, how would I best do X ? It responded, why don't you use thing Y that you have? I had told it in the past that I have thing Y, in a different chat session. That means we have arrived at the state where it's keeping track of what I said in the past.

Advice needed. what i say if i get a patch in the form "Dr. Firstname Lastname" in SOB?

I can say that it does trigger me a bit but I can deal with my personal issues ;-)

Ruin any kid's day with this one easy trick!

Learning to compile distro kernel for Fedora. I took a random patch set from mm just to learn this process [1]. Has taken couple of days because I don't know anything about RPM and have compiled so far only distro kernel for Ubuntu. I'm recent convertant to Fedora because between 2004-2021 I used Ubuntu util I had had enough ;-)

Glitches or things to reconsider:

- I have now kernel compilation ongoing with "fedpkg mockbuilld". I hope this is the right command. I got the kernel by "fedpkg clone --anonymous kernel ".
- I have no idea how to point out linux-next so had to backport a single patch from kselftest to v6.12-rc4. Any pointers how to use that nice fedpkg command AND have linux-next is appreciated.
- I hope this will ensure that the kernel will signed with my MOK key: [2].

I have a key created:

$ sudo certutil -L -d /etc/pki/pesign

Certificate Nickname Trust Attributes

Machine Owner Certificate Pu,Pu,Pu

And I hope this will pick it for the kernel build:

I don't think it will take long for Trump to officially, or without indirection, endorse Adolf Hitler. At least if he wins this will be inevitable.

So anyone who thinks that he will ensures the diplomatic relations with Israel, I'd think twice...

PS. Unrelated to ongoing horrible war in the mIddle east...

Mary Trump is warning about Donald’s dementia--yet corporate media still refuses to cover it!

Filled out my ballot over the weekend — a rather time-consuming task in Colorado, as we have a lot of things to vote.

Now I just have to endure a few more weeks while the rest of the country catches up. And hope I don't find myself living in a fascist nation...

⚡️North Korean troops to arrive in Kursk tomorrow, military intelligence says. “We are waiting for the first units tomorrow in the Kursk direction,” military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov said, though he did not specify how many would be deployed. https://kyivindependent.com/north-korean-troops-to-arrive-in-kursk-tomorrow-military-intelligence-says/

I feel seen...

#Fedora has the parts of #LibreOffice in the default install that I never ever use and lacks exactly the only part that I ever do actually use: LibreOffice Draw.

It is actually good. I try to be sometimes a cool kid and do something with Inkscape but the unfortunate truth is that I don't have talent for making visuals.

Most of drawings I've done last 10 years have ended up been made with Draw through exclusion process:

1. First I think that "this is THE day that I'll master Inkspace, I'm so excited". It should go without saying but yeah both experience and results end up being a nightmare.
2. Then I write these Mermaid and realize that the approach just plain does not work for me. I don't what it is but my thoughts both fly. I prefer writing code when it is actual source code going either upstream or production, not fake code with horrible syntax.
3. Web tools, well, not a fan, and this is universal but I often try them only to realize that I think best offline. They are horrible experience that I totally dislike from the bottom of my heart.
4. yED is kind of interesting but no.https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219383
5. LibreOffice Draw: OK I cannot say that I like this but I neither can say I dislike this so let's draw the damn picture. Not the most exciting task in my life, can't say I love this, but I get something done that I'm only mildly ashamed of.

This is it how it goes every single time.

Updated, added back a klog message and some cc spread. The bug triples boot time on at least some #AMD machine but I guess it does not matter 🤷

this quite a nice alt client for pass: https://github.com/timvisee/prs

KICK3 is quite bad. I already disliked previously in KICK2 the on-board effects, and it add only more of that cruft. Less features is also a feature I guess :-) ... and it looks damn ugly too. KickDrum is more fresh and the harmonic EQ is great in it: https://audija.com/plugins #Bitwig #BitwigStudio #MusicProduction

Could it be that #clevis has a bug that the following ends up failing unless the passphrase is non-empty?

sudo clevis luks bind -d /dev/nvme... tpm2 '{"pcr_ids":"1,4,5,7,9"}'

An empty passphrase can be created by the means of:

sudo cryptsetup luksChangeKey --force-password /dev/sda3

It is a totally legit configuration for NUC7CJYH, which I use for kernel testing.

#fedora

best thing #google has ever made is imho #keep. i use it organize all my patch sets etc.

my de-facto always repeated comment about Linux kernel and Rust ;-) It is how it is...
