If I feel bad, I always look at what @servo has been doing lately. Usually it's like "we leveled up the performance" or "we are in par with CSS" and similar. Really happy to see how things are going for that project. Looks like a healthy open source community to me!

I've read a few times that "times were better when people used just Stack Overflow".

I never even fully got on board for that era and I still have a job...

I read books.

The smallest-ever force field map of nature.

Physicists have mapped the forces acting inside a #proton, showing in unprecedented detail how #quarks—the tiny #particles within—respond when hit by high-energy #photons.

The new result breaks down #space and #time into a fine grid, allowing simulating how the strong force—the fundamental interaction that binds quarks into #protons and #neutrons—varies across different regions inside the proton.

With a simple `podman login` and `podman push` you can push containers from your local machine to your #forgejo instance, so you can use said containers on other machines as Forgejo also is an OCI-compliant container registry :) And now you can use these containers to build even more software with forgejo Actions and don't worry about Docker limiting traffic from their registry ;)

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 :-)

Just found about Terra.

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.

Infamous UK yellow tabloids are like the voice of democracy as of today in 2025! Who would have guessed 👽

So...

Is Fedora going to move on to Hyprland any day?

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.
