@sugar Are you sure it's wise? If they could feel pain, one has to assume they would be able to feel vengeance.

@ihabunek Do you really want to eat the soup that they are *paying* you to take? :)

I'm considering an archiving scheme for social.kernel.org that would automatically add all public statuses to a public-inbox archive -- not right away, but maybe after a month or so. This should allow us to remove them from the database while still keeping them publicly accessible. From what I've read elsewhere, pleroma's database backend organization is not great, so after a while they start to experience database performance problems. Removing old entries should allow us to avoid this fate while still preserving the conversation record.

@brauner @stgraber random helpdesk email (even though it says in very large letters not to send kernel questions to that address, sigh).

@drewdevault I should try wrapping my servers in a blanket, thank you for the suggestion! I wonder if they have to be wool blankets, or will polyester ones do just fine. ;)

@jan @kernellogger I try not to suggest solutions that generate more questions for me down the line. ;)

@vegard @legoktm I just wish that notes weren't so fragile. They are good for annotating commits that were merged and are unlikely to change, but WIP branches that get rebased a lot are always in danger of losing the notes if the branch isn't properly configured to copy them post-rebase. There are other problems, too: they live in a separate ref, so developers need to remember to push them separately from their code branches; they can result in merge conflicts in shared repos; they scale non-linearly because they are effectively just a bunch of files.

So, in general, people who dislike git-notes generally have good reasons for that β€” which doesn't mean that they aren't a useful auxiliary tool, of course.

@nathanchance it's not really "ansible or terraform" as much as "ansible and terraform". They generally swerve adjacent tasks β€” get the VM and all the networking bits deployed with TF and then configure the OS and apps with Ansible.

@captainepoch I'll follow up via email for sure, I was just wondering if I missed an existing way of doing it. Thanks!

@captainepoch is there a quickie way to filter the timeline to remove replies that aren't to myself or myself+my follows? I find that if I haven't checked my TL for a while it's easier to view it in the browser where I can filter it by these criteria in PleromaFE.

@olofj MTV hasn't really been about music for about 20 years now, if not more, so it's not really surprising. It's just another general pop culture entertainment channel these days.

@dirkhh @timbray I ended up just following the Twitter accounts I'm interested in via Feedly. I honestly don't have a good reason to open it up any more.

Came across a mention of "IIS" in some old docs and had some terrible flashbacks from 2000s.

@brauner @hyeyoo @vbabka Or you can just send email to LKML and link to it from your Fossy account. :)

Lore is also a blogging platform, of sorts.

@vbabka @hyeyoo it's not really unmaintained, it's just struggling for developer time and effort -- pretty sure they aren't financially independent to continue working on it full time.

That's part of the reason this instance allows 31337 characters per post. :)
