What is MAX_PAGE_ORDER value on x86-64?

The "fallback value" is 10 (right?) so kmalloc() can allocate at max 2**22 bytes i.e. 4 MB I guess, unless MAX_PAGE_ORDER is larger.

7️⃣ Here's the 7th installment of posts highlighting key new features of the upcoming v257 release of systemd.

The graphical login prompt you see when your computer boots up is a sensitive UI: typically, when starting to work, without much thinking you'll type in your username and password, expecting it log you in and provide you with your desktop session. However, what if someone just opened a website in a browser in full screen mode with contents that just *looks* like your login screen, …

Trump does not have a follower but also: now that he gets his four years that zeros out "what if" speculation. History will remember him with brutal honesty now and he won't get martyr reputation, which could be the accelerator for a follower.

If he had lost, his influence might had radiated longer to the future.

why wifi is so sensitive? year and decade after it always seem to oops. not blaming anyone really just wondering...

it's not usually even wpa supplicant but straight up kernel oops...

i mean it can be hardware/acpi/firmware etc. that causes this...

Or maybe WiFi is a feature that we should rewrite with Rust? I mean regular oops is at least evidence of regular memory corruption. Even my non-geek friends seem to "know" that Linux always blows on suspend, so it is also kind of a "brand issue", at least in non-Android client use cases.

I'm going to Barcelona next month to the end of year party of the company I'm a contractor for to eat some tapas and get drunk enough to at least temporarily forget the deepness of shit we're at in this world led by tyrants.

This is I think the last remaining KNOWN (cannot say anything about unknowns obviously) performance regression with the TPM2 bus encryption: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/20241107004708.108667-1-jarkko@kernel.org/

I'm pretty satisfied since the feature landed to 6.10. Couple of point releases to fix the performance regressions is totally normal, in the case of larger architectural change.

Compiling C software:

- 5 seconds codegen
- 30 seconds compiling C code
- 1 second linking
- 34 hours of autotools checking whether it's running in a universe where 2+2=4

A small PR for keyring, did not make much sense to hold these back: https://lore.kernel.org/keyrings/D5FB9PK9DD35.1B1VBVMPOZPRS@kernel.org/

At least voiced by our current government, and more broadly shared by the whole political spectrum: Finland will continue to support Ukraine as long as it takes.

It's called talvisodan henki aka "the spirit of the winter war".

Bad jokes aside here's the ONLY positive thing I see in Trump winning.

It's the last season of Apprentice and psychopaths usually don't have competitive followers. E.g. J.D. Vance would not stand a chance without being a sidekick of Trump.

The other side of the coin is unfortunately that psychopaths like to take down the whole world, once they go down.

So, if the world can mitigate the next four years, there will be light at the end of the tunnel.
