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...

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.

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.

Great I posted some messages to rust-for-linux, asked the questions I had how test, got some great answers and nobody nuked me!

I even said that by the process I would personally NAK this based on being unable to test the patches and and discussion did not heat up :-)

All I can say that I had a positive experience.

I put this to my order because I love Condrad Barskis painting style :-) The very same reason why I bought Land of Lisp. I'm a fan of good visual arts, and my cousin Riiko is also a painting artist living in Spain: https://riikosakkinen.com/

This is sometimes useful feature that is not very common but evolution has it :-)

I even have one inbox that requires it (infradead.org).

As always Raymond Chen delivers. This time on why Windows 95 setup needed three stages of operating systems 👇

Question about V4L2: there are these controllers and some events are defined in the core layer (or whatever it is called).

Is it like that they are processed multiple times:

1. Once by the core framework.
2. Once by the drivers that register them.

Or if driver registers an event, does it sort of take ownership of it?

Sorry for not using correct terminology.

Intenet search reminds me more and more of the end of . Even (or especially) when you were searching for something specify search result became more and more polluted. If you were lucky you would find something meaningful on page 5. But quite often you would give up and started playing with exclusion

Very frustrating.

hatch has also the nice feature shared with cargo apparently, i.e. "--fix".

Any ideas how do I bind :nohlsearch in Zed's vim mode to a key?

I'd like to bind it exactly to CTRL+L, just like in my .vimrc for the sake of ubiquitous text editing experience:

Sometimes I feel that I'd like migrate my certificate key some day from the current RSA-4096 to ED-25519.

Can I bless the trust to the new certificate key or do I actually have to fucking meet F2F other kernel maintainers? ;-)

In addition to linux-media, I also subscribed to rust-for-linux for the sake of

1. Learning
2. Tested-by (aka "show me the payload")

Not for nuking Rust per se...
