@brauner oh, I posted a screenshot of what I thought was someone having a good joke asking the helpdesk how to "remove an illegal brain implant used to control their thoughts."
However, the follow-up email from the same person was... macabre, and illustrated that they are probably legitimately mentally unwell. :(

@ljs It started in 2008 with the invasion of Georgia. There was zero tangible response and it defined the next two decades.

@wagi I hear that all the time about Montreal and it being on the same latitude as the South of France. I then invite those people to come and experience a balmy -30C wind chill, which is a common thing here in February (e.g. tomorrow's forecast).

Ok, I thought someone was just pulling my leg with that last message to helpdesk, but there's now a follow-up from the same person, and it's clear that they genuinely need medical attention -- the kind I'm most certainly not qualified to offer. :(

Me: I wonder why I don't work from the couch that often.
Me, 5 minutes later: Oh. Right.

@kernellogger my take on it is unique -- it's pretty expensive on the server side, but it is only really a problem when a bunch of shallow clones are performed at once (e.g. when a CI farm does it across 50 nodes or something). When that happens, it overwhelms the server.
If an actual human being does a single shallow clone it's not a big deal.

@vbabka no idea, it's not showing me the transfer rate. Just 57% for the past few hours.

@rysiek We're hosting a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. It's mostly on git.kernel.org, patchwork.kernel.org, and lore.kernel.org.

@vbabka Yes, that's literally what I've been doing, but it also means I have to sit here downstairs without my phone for hours, making grumpy noises about it on social media.

"Connect to wifi to download an update" is such a frustratingly stupid feature in a vehicle. It's a car, dammit. It's parked outside. I'm not going to buy a wifi repeater just so my in-house wifi is reachable from the driveway. Just use your own connection -- pretty sure I download more data monthly via streaming radio than the size of that software update.

Submitted a CfP to the @LinuxSecSummit in Vancouver titled "How to backdoor the Linux Kernel (and fail?)".
Hopefully, see you there? :)

@Foxboron Yes, but my point is that in the grand scheme of "lines of code dealing with potentially hostile code," a compression algorithm is often not the most worrisome piece.

@Foxboron the attack surface of gunzip pales in comparison to the attack surface of curl/wget, bash/busybox, and the tcp stack of the underlying OS and all the sandboxing abstractions built on top of it.

@captainepoch Me gustaria tanto estar en España ahora mismo. Yo y mi esposa hemos pasado dos semanas en Valencia el mayo pasado y fue muy encantador. :)
