It was hosted with masto.host, which I continue to heartily recommend for folks who are looking for a fully managed solution.

@cliffwade @iamstu I'm curious what kind of link you imagine would verify him better than the actual domain of the instance being "kernel.org"? :)

@mariusor @thomas I think it was just initial rush as a bunch of instances start requesting followers/likes/etc info. It's known as "the hug of death." :) Things got a bit slow, but it was fine in the end.

@GNUxeava I started out with it restricted to just public timeline, but Pleroma gives an unfriendly error when you restrict known network from unauthenticated users. Looks like it's the same with Akkoma, but I'll restrict it for now anyway, perhaps until everyone calms down a bit.

Hmm... Looks like I may need to resize the database backend for Akkoma, as I'm starting to see db query load spiking.

Humans: I shouldn't have to remember your preferred pronouns
Same humans: this table is a "he" if you're German, a "she" if you're French, and "it" if you're English.

@drewdevault good luck! The worst is when you grow up speaking one language with grammatical gender and then study another where it flips for a bunch of words, so a "house" is either a "he" or a "she" depending on the linguistic context.

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.
