Yes, @torvalds is the real Linus. You should follow him.

Random first trial post: today, March 14th, is the 29th anniversary of the Linux 1.0 announcement.

Of course, there are other arguably more important dates in Linux history, but this is one of them.

Oh, apparently my inability to boot newer kernels on my Nitropad had nothing to do with the actual kernels. Somehow either Fedora or HEADS kept repeating the same two flags over and over in the kernel boot line (intel_iommu=igfx_off intel_iommu=on), so that at some point I think it overflowed some kind of sane limit. Trimming that down solved the issue.

Is there one of those German words for feeling glad that your conference talk got accepted, but experiencing a growing sense of dread as the slides submission due date creeps closer every day?

Asking for a friend.

@kmic Well, apparently their capital was built with "abstract money," so perhaps you're not that wrong.

Me: we have 50TB on our backend storage system that stores kernel tarballs, so this should be plenty for the next 5+ years.
@gregkh: challenge accepted!

My kid's scout truck entry vehicle is shaping up well, but may require an explanation to fellow scouters who are probably not familiar with Fallout lore.

Thoughts on renaming b4 as b4k (as a play on bifurquΓ©), to make it more clear in speech and in search results?

I post my artwork on my personal account, but I do have an album here:

I'm self-taught and mostly I draw from photos as a zen thing to do while listening to audiobooks.

I just released b4 0.12.2:

  • prep: add ability to use markdown in the cover content (requires escaping the leading β€œ#” as β€œ>#” that is stripped on cover letter rendering)
  • send: don’t require vN to –resend (will resend the latest version)
  • test: don’t require running from git
  • plus several bugfixes mostly dealing with corner-case conditions

@ljs I have the same thing where it continuously removes and installs `org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default` and `org.freedesktop.Platform.VAAPI.Intel`. :)

@mpe @brauner it's registered to the same entity that holds kernel.org, so it has the same longevity guarantee.
