I think I wait buying a new computer up until 3950X3D is out and then make a pre-order. I want a mATX form factor machine. I sold my PC when I started at Parity Technologies so for now have to survive with a shitty Thinkpad ;-)

The only other part I know for sure is https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/meshify/meshify-2-mini/black-tg-dark-tint/

This is because I only ever buy Fractal Design cases :-)

Can't wait for the smell of a fresh computer...

x.x.x.x - - [10/Nov/2024:00:02:37 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 301 162 "-" "okhttp/4.9.0"

You know what’s interesting about this log line? It repeats 56,686,963 times in www.kernel.org logs for yesterday, across 4 nodes. That’s about 700 times a second, and this has been going on for months.

These requests aren’t intentionally malicious – they issue a simple GET /, receive their 301 redirect, and terminate the connection. From what I can tell, this is some kind of appliance or software installed on mobile clients that uses “can I reach www.kernel.org” as a network test.

This wouldn’t be that big of a deal – a single plaintext “GET /“ that triggers an immediate 301 is very cheap for us to generate, but the number of these requests has been steadily growing.

If you have any idea what this is and how to make it stop, please reach out?

I have to agree with Boris. It's a force majeure situation. What else could we do. I'd guess that UK would get support from Nordic and Baltic states if this action was taken and there would be a coalition.

And DRPK troops terrorizing Europe is unacceptable. Any country who brings them here in this region should pay the consequences. It's even orthogonal to the war situation. North Korea is an enemy state and any aggressive action from such should receive a clear and brutal response.

one aerc feature i always keep forgetting:

1. s: toggle the message view in a horizontal split.
2. S: toggle the message view in a vertical split.

It's not mentally hard to switch betwen vim and helix because vim is "do-select" and helix is "select-do". They play opposites.

#helix #vim #editor

With Rust I've accepted the reality that I cannot simply survive with plain Vim. So using more and more Helix with that. I don't GUI and I dislike NeoVim so Helix has started to stick on me over the last year more and more.

One feature that I like a lot in Helix is "no plugins" ;-) That's fresh. One thing that I wished it had, and thus not applicable for kernel development, is the support for ".editorconfig". Once it has that I can try to write a kernel patch with it.

dtrace.conf(24) is going virtual! We're one month away from the un-conference and are opening the virtual ticket booth for this free event, with optional add-ons for event t-shirts and an on-site social in Emeryville after the event. Bring your topics and prepare to discuss! https://dtraceconf24.eventbrite.com

{Ref,Unsafe,Once,}Cell is one of the more confusing parts for me in Rust and I almost never end up using them because I don't really know what they are good at.

Also, have to admit that the use of Arc is rare and the use of Rc is never.

8️⃣ Here's the 8th post highlighting key new features of the upcoming v257 release of systemd.

A longer time ago systemd introduced JSON based user records as an extension of classic UNIX `struct passwd`. These records can be provided via Varlink IPC or via drop-in files. The much richer set of account settings is documented here:

https://systemd.io/USER_RECORD/

My recommended list of crates for baremetal, firmware and no_std alike programming:

- https://github.com/rcore-os/buddy_system_allocator
- https://github.com/Lokathor/tinyvec
- https://github.com/google/zerocopy/
- https://github.com/rust-embedded/heapless
- https://github.com/KokaKiwi/rust-hex
- https://github.com/de-vri-es/serial2-rs
- https://github.com/m4b/goblin
- https://github.com/gimli-rs/gimli

This is a list of crates, which I've actually used and found them useful over time. I've not done kernel code (yet) in Rus. Instead I've worked on two bytecode (with JIT) hosts, i.e. Enarx (wasm) and now with PolkaVM (previously wasm but I'm working on riscv32emac derivative which is the next generation). And right, I'm implemented a crate for zmodem (see zmodem2) ;-)

The crate that I'm not yet sure because have not been able to do yet stuff that I'd want to do with it is:

https://github.com/rust-vmm/vm-memory

I.e. use it for special mapping but with no VMM involved (my uses cases actually involve both with and without VM containers). So looking into that over time. E.g. Paolo is involved with this so I expect it to be quality, and rather contribute than look for other option.

Has anyone bought one of those beautiful Checkmate displays? I'm planning to buy one to accompany my MiSTeR FPGA (and Atari STE with Ultrasatan \,,/ :666)

This is the proper way to console a child.

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.
