I'm trying to get the biggest vendors to sponsor the LVFS. The Linux Foundation is kindly paying for all the hosting costs out of their IT budget, and Red Hat pays for all my time -- but as LVFS grows and grows that's going to be less and less sustainable longer term. I'm trying to find funding to hire a part time "me replacement" so that I can go on holiday for a week without stressing about internet and email.

Installing LineageOS 22 on my old Pixel 3a so I can give it to my kid for his trip to Costa Rica. If he loses it, I won't be too upset.

Can someone tell me which version of Python is in Fedora 42? I can't find a definitive answer (I get either 3.13 or 3.14rc2 when searching online). My upgrade painfulness level is always dependent on if there is a Python version uptick between what I currently have and the new release.

Maybe the Europeans are just fearful of the aggressive earwax removal culture. 🤔 👂

All crew,

We are planning a sneak attack on an illegal Romulan shipyard at 0900 hours tomorrow. DO NOT POST THIS ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

Så nå vet dere hvorfor jeg har studert norsk de siste månedene. Stakkars hjernet mitt.

The panicans choked on covfefe?

Nice try, "Opera/8.26.(Windows NT 6.0; sa-IN) Presto/2.9.171 Version/10.00", that's a totally legit user-agent. How about this bucket of 403s?

Hey, do you like reviewing code written by someone with zero interest in your project, who ignores all of your carefully established styles and conventions, and who routinely sends in asinine suggestions?

Ugh, Python got over 500 #GSoC applications this year and so many of them are absolutely trash, didn't follow any of the instructions. Most years about half of our applications are like this. But usually we have a lot fewer applicants and the submissions were blank files not plausible AI nonsense.

So I'm stuck reading hundreds of incredibly low quality nonsensical submissions today in hopes to take some workload off my other unpaid volunteer mentors. This is not the volunteer gig I signed up for 15 years ago when it was mostly working with new contributors and not their AI chatbots and I'm grumpy.

Hey, remember the "Tide Pod Challenge," when people purposefully ingested harmful chemicals on a dare and were then seriously sick? Didn't know they made those things in orange.

Anyway, will someone please hold America's head while it vomits?

20 Years ago: the BitKeeper license changed, making it unavailable for kernel development.

It drove home the perils of relying on proprietary software and spurred the creation of Git - a significant event, overall.

git.kernel.org and lore.kernel.org now require proof of work. Big thanks to Anubis developers for filling this important need.

Users of w3m and lynx browsers will be asked to identify and fix a bug in the mm subsystem before they are allowed to access git kernel.org.

I worry that we're mere weeks or months away from free software being declared unamerican in the US.
