Now I tried Ghostty for the first time and IBM Plex looks amazing on it ;-)
So i guess it is a switch...

Rust kernel patches should really level up on commit messages and not merging random code with zero callers.
I welcome Rust but disobey not doing right things right :-)
If a commit message does not by practical means exist except some generic mumbling that would be best to be deleted. How do we e.g. know that a commit is not AI generated and unchecked by the author? If we don't know that we have objectively engineered a security leak as that can be eweaponized.
That is really dangerous type of trust. I'd just like check and not trust. Even if a patch would come from some ultra famous figure like Linus, Greg or even God himself, I'd still like to check, not believe the authority and based on that draw my OWN conclusions.
I actually do not even mind if some random patch would be AI generated. Use any tool you see fit. It is just that the commit message verifies that you UNDERSTAND what you are doing.

#SELinux must be awesome today because I've forgotten that it even exists in my system ;-)

I have not yet found this working too well but I did star the project, and will follow from the audience, and occasionally browse the issue database:

Especially when you need tailored VM's and kernel's there's room for new shit so I hope the developer has patience with this, and continues push it forward.
I'd like to contribute too but right now I'm starting on a new job week after that plus I really want to finish up with video-loop.ko :-)

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.

European Commission
EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.euThe 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).

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.
