When One Door Bug Closes Another Opens, But Often We Look So Long Upon the Closed Door Bug That We Do Not See the Open Door Bug

I've been looking around for projects with similar potential as xz. Unsurprisingly lots of GNU projects, they do the groundwork, are direct or indirect dependencies everywhere, were feature complete years ago, no new development, one last guardian of the code with credentials to ftp.gnu.org.

There's one hurdle that could raise the difficulty of infiltration though, the FSF copyright assignment paperwork.

Collatz conjecture of programming: assuming there are N bugs, when it's odd your patch will reduce the number to N/2, otherwise bug count will be 3N+1. 🔢

I'll shed some tears for removing ia64 from linux, but well it's about time.

I have a few ideas what to implement with the ublk. It's like FUSE for block devices (though BUSE exists, it's not maintained), the kernel/userspace separation makes it really convenient for experimenting.

In past years, the devel cycle spanning end of the year was the worst. Dealing with everything took at least month, not-so-well tested patches piled up, regressions are not cheap in total. This time, code freeze was in early December and last minute or risky changes were postponed. Yet the first week was only about regressions and the second is the same but it's getting better.

"Notice: journal has been rotated since unit was started, output may be incomplete."

Time machine or crystal ball needed.

Fortunatelly, since 2015 I have "ForwardToSyslog=yes" in /etc/systemd/journald.conf so /var/log/messages has the answers.
