@lina I'm happy to receive any b4 feedback you have. The "#" treatment bit is really because the cover letter is a git commit and if you edit it directly with git, it will remove any lines starting with "#". I'm worried that if we treat these any differently, we'll potentially run into unexpected behaviour. :/

When you see someone using an old version of your tool that you know has a bad bug that they somehow keep avoiding.

"The code stack is extremely brittle for no good reason" literally describes 98% of the world's entire IT infrastructure.

Me, entering room: Mornin'.
My wife: Wait a minute, that accent. Have you been playing RDR2 again?
Me: I ain't got no idea whatcha mean.
My wife: you're not even from this part of the world!

@jwildeboer it's a bit drastic with header rewriting, but otherwise it should work for non-technical lists. You can keep your lists DMARC compliant *and* preserve original headers, which has a bonus of preserving sender domain authentication.

@llvm @LWN Sorry, I read "Gnudi hackers" as "nudie hackers" and couldn't get past that point because my whole brain seized up.

This was a productive Friday, even if I didn't get to all outstanding b4 patches. B4 0.13-dev gained a `b4 prep --cleanup` feature that will be handy for people sending many series and it allows archiving and cleaning up git objects used for series tracking.

We had our heat pump replaced and a new central thermostat put in. We were supposed to get a wifi enabled one, but looks like they installed a cheaper version that isn't wifi-capable.

I ain't even mad.

Pretty sure I'm on LWN entirely due to my skillful use of dadjoke titles.

@jwildeboer well, list-label is "dot-atom-text" as well, so it can contain periods. In the context of "nyt.1.0.sparkpostmail.com" the namespace would be "sparkpostmail.com", so the list-label is "nyt.1.0".

Goes to show that you can write all the standards you like, but you can't make people use them sanely. :)

@jwildeboer I'm not saying their naming convention isn't stupid, just that using "@" isn't actually allowed per RFC.

@jwildeboer not trying to out-greybeard you or anything, but RFC2919 mandates the format of that header, and it can't use a "@". :)

@ljs @monsieuricon Ah, yes, this is indeed the problem I'm complaining about in that post. :)

@ljs @monsieuricon I don't think gmail has this problem, does it? I thought it was just mutt.

@conor basically, as I understand it, if there is ever a court hearing, a judge needs to establish your identity "beyond reasonable doubt." It's easiest if your signed-off-by matches your legal name, but it can also be established via witness testimony. I wrote about it at some point here:

@sunred thank you! However, I don't really play wordle -- I was looking for crosswords. :)

@mpe @brauner One thing I can sneakily suggest is to use https://msgid.link/<msgid>; for Link: trailers pointing at patch series submissions and lore.kernel.org for Link: trailers pointing at discussions.

@vbabka @kernellogger I should raise this with @nitrokey folks first, as it could be something weird with the HEADS firmware interaction.
