Not really shocking, because the wind is *howling* outside. I'm just glad we have a fireplace, because the temperature is dropping really fast.

Hello, power outage. Hopefully, we're talking hours, not days.

I received feedback to the patches I sent with b4. Hooray, this is actually not guaranteed (but that's a different problem).

In this follow-up video I show how to work with feedback and submit a v2 of your patch.

(I moved my mic stand, so your ears should be okay this time, even in headphones.)

@rostedt all apps that work with it right now should continue to work with it if it's changed to akkoma.

@rostedt off the bat for the end-users:

* ability to follow hashtags
* "quote-tweets"

Should I switch to akkoma on social.kernel.org?
24% yes, go akkoma!
9% no, stick with pleroma!
66% No opinion, I just like voting in polls!

Bah, I've recorded the video of submitting the patch using "b4 send", but I didn't think to check what the mic picks up when I'm typing on the keyboard. I apologize for any headaches caused to those listening via headphones.

If you wait a bit, there will be a text write-up on people.kernel.org that you can follow instead of watching the video.

Not entirely surprisingly, attempting to record a "sending a Linux patch from scratch" tutorial video identified a couple of annoying crashers in b4 when some configuration parameters are missing (like, a [sendemail] section -- not identified in previous testing because everyone obviously has a [sendemail] section in their .gitconfig :)).

I'll release b4 0.11.1 with more helpful error messages tomorrow and try to re-record the video again.

@falktx Yes, you're the kind of person I'm looking for! I'm recording a quickie video of me submitting a basic typo fix to illustrate my workflow and I'd be interested in feedback.

@fclc Yeah, you're probably not the person I'm looking for. :)

I aim to make patch workflows easier, but I'm afraid all other parts of Linux kernel contribution process are going to remain hard -- because programming kernels and getting everyone to agree is hard. :)

Are you someone who has a simple fix for something in the Linux kernel, but haven't bothered submitting a patch because you find the email workflow daunting? Can be a bugfix, spelling correction, anything at all.

If so, I want to talk to you! I have tools that simplify this process quite a bit, but I need more feedback from people who aren't long-term Linux maintainers.

Please reach out, either via here or by emailing mricon@kernel.org.

@mattblaze I hope not. People getting news from social media was exactly the reason why so many things started going wrong.

Um... whoever is running the "bluez test bot" on bugzilla.kernel.org should probably exclude bugs older than a certain age. Just sayin'.
