If you wrote a crawler to retrieve lore.kernel.org messages instead of, you know, cloning the underlying git repositories and doing it locally, you are a bad person and you should feel ashamed.

@Aissen @cengiz_io Eh, I wasn't serious. :) If anything, I'd use kbug.link, but it's not like standard bugzilla links are that long anyway.

My plans to register kernel.wtf to work as an easy alias for bugzilla bugs (kernel.wtf/217884) fell through because kernel.wtf is already registered.

tomw@mastodon.socialEvery so often I see a post about how LLMs fail logic puzzles.
And... yes? Of course they do. The only way it could solve it is if it has seen the puzzle before or a substantially similar one. (But that might cause it to give the answer to the similar one, not the correct answer.)
Why is this even tested so often or considered surprising? It is, in essence, an autocomplete. It does not understand logic. It has no concept of a correct answer. It gives the most likely completion.

I hear you, but until vger migration is completed (some time hopefully in the next few months), I'm still not able to do anything about vger mail delivery issues.

Man, centos is so hostile to mirror admins. Instead of just requiring a username/password for mirroring, they restrict primary mirror access by IP, and to make any changes they require that mirror admins open a ticket on some very slow webby thing.

@wagi last I looked, it couldn't do OpenPGP cards, so wasn't a suitable replacement for me yet. It may have changed since then.

@wagi It's a valid criticism of GnuPG, but it's not necessarily the fault of all OpenPGP implementations. Tools like Sequoia-PGP exist specifically as efforts to reimplement OpenPGP in a modern framework that's not bogged down by legacy decisions.

@mariusor that solution doesn't scale. I'll just pay $50 for an AI to render a good enough video of Linus saying the fingerprint.

Every time someone claims that they have replaced OpenPGP with "something easier," I always look to see how they handle key management and trust delegation, and usually discover that it's just handwaved away.
Questions like this are a reminder that key management and trust delegation are the exact thing that makes OpenPGP "too hard" in the eyes of most people.

@iliazeus FYI, tar will automatically recognized compressed archives. You don't need to add -z, -j, you can just do -xf.

@captainepoch mostly recovered, thank you! Still not testing negative, though, so keeping myself isolated when I can.

The first of each month works as a regular reminder of how many mailman-2 servers there still are out there.
