@captainepoch Hmm, all of my login tokens were deleted after installing 1.5.0-beta and logging in, so all my other sessions got terminated. I'll see if I can replicate that later.

@captainepoch @vbabka Yes, this is new in 3.6.0 (February, 2023). My own instance (castoranxieux.ca) also runs it. If you like, I can give you a testing account there.

@vbabka I don't believe so. Hopefully, Husky will add support for setting the post language soon. :)

@ljs @thomy2000 no historical parallels are perfect, but I'm sure that in his head he sees mid-eighties DDR as the model to imitate, regardless of what is happening in the real world.

@ljs @thomy2000 He doesn't want the USSR back, he wants to build the DDR (East Germany), where he spent his early 20s -- with *some* private enterprise, fake pseudo-politicians and a powerful secret service keeping eyes on everything. He now even has a "West Germany" of his own -- the "brothers and sisters" that are "suffering" under the American military boot and who must be "rescued" and re-integrated back into the happy family.

I'm back from the weekend of winter camping with a bunch of scouts and -20°C weather.

@conor Unfortunately, i'm away camping until Sunday afternoon. If you think this is a bug, you should email the tools list.

@cgwalters if by "resistance to change" you mean "not breaking workflows that are extremely efficient for many people", then all of it.

@ArneBab @ekuber @marcan We do have CI via patchwork, it just needs improvement and the Tested-By needs to be recorded in commits.

E.g. see https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20230214211534.735718-5-pctammela@mojatatu.com/

Public-inbox repositories (the data layer behind lore.kernel.org) is not just an archival medium, but also an efficient git-based message distribution platform. You can clone all data behind lore.kernel.org *and* keep it continuously updated.

For example, https://lore.kernel.org/b4-sent/ contains submitted patches there never touched SMTP but were submitted via b4's web submission endpoint. A tool like "lei" is able to retrieve these messages and deliver them to reviewers without any of it touching the much-hated SMTP protocol. Yes, "lei" is a backend tool that is not very end-user-friendly -- the goal is to offer it as a service delivering query-based results into its own public-inbox feed that is available via POP, IMAP, or any other message retrieval protocol, plus fed into patchwork.

Evolutionary change is how we'll improve the situation, not by introducing centralized, single-point-of-failure, outright proprietary or "open-core" tools.

My grand plan is to put together a Free Tooling Workgroup at the Linux Foundation that would:

* secure funding for continued work on public-inbox and lei
* secure funding to pay patchwork maintainers to add better CI integration
* secure funding for continued b4 development (so I'm not doing it in-between sysadmin/IT staff management tasks but can make it my primary effort)
* investigate ways to integrate AI into bug report analysis so we can better categorize reported bugs
* slowly and iteratively replace the SMTP component from patch submission and code review, while keeping everything distributed *and* decentralized

I intend to put forth a formal proposal to the Technical Advisory Board in the next few months.
