@Foxboron @brauner Unfortunately, git notes is a bad solution here: 1) they don't survive rebases (because they are tied to the commit hash), and 2) they don't get pushed to the remote unless you remember to push the notes ref.

@Foxboron @brauner I understand. The biggest hurdle for me is how to make it simple to submit not just the initial patch, but also the inevitable v2, v3 etc -- because it's almost never the case that your first patch submission is accepted as-is. So, we need a place to track the patch history, and preferably in the way that can be pushed to the remote repo.

@Foxboron @brauner can you describe what was "a bit weird"? Was it the cover letter requirement?

@conor the main difference is that you can't see other people's favourites, and the repeats (boosts) are already in your homeline. So, there's no equivalent with Twitter here.

The "known network" is more of a dump of all statuses known to the instance and is rarely useful for anything other than morbid curiosity. :)

If you have a kernel.org account, you can set your webfinger by using:

ssh git@gitolite.kernel.org social set @your@social.example.foo

This will let people find your fediverse account by searching for β€œ@yourusername@kernel.orgβ€œ.

Use β€œsocial helpβ€œ to see other commands.

Proper documentation forthcoming and will be on korg.docs.kernel.org once done.

@wagi Cool, it's self-serve for people with kernel.org accounts now. :) I will document it this afternoon.

Another webfinger test. I typed '@ wagi @ kernel.org' below:

@wagi

It should have been replaced with the proper destination.

@wagi security by obscurity is only bad when it's your only security strategy. As an additional measure it's perfectly valid. :)

@wagi From the security perspective, new and undiscovered bugs are generally better than old known bugs. :)
