Geordi,
No one has been receiving my emails for many months. This is a significant security risk and it must be fixed.

@b0rk I think there are harmful and non-harmful ways of using "rebase." When preparing your set of patches for submission upstream, rebase is essential -- you can split large patches into logically smaller ones, fix typos, reorder commits for better clarity and squash some of them together if they really don't need to be two separate actions. All of this is easily accomplished with "git rebase -i". It is also useful to be able to rebase your work on the newer version of the main branch right before you submit your changes upstream.
However, many other applications of rebase can be sloppy and harmful, especially when used without proper understanding of the effects it will have on the project history. I many situations, merge commits are preferable to rebases.

@davidrevoy Since you're a Fedora user, the most proper way to do this is to report a bug to the Fedora bug tracker. The Fedora kernel maintainers will then work with the upstream kernel to get this solved. This way you don't need to worry about Protonmail problems *and* you will follow the correct procedure.

@davidrevoy I'm sorry you didn't have a great experience -- fwiw, I'm working on making it easy to report bugs via bugzilla.kernel.org and actually have that be effective.

@protonmail @davidrevoy @kkarhan Having a WKD doesn't imply we want to receive PGP encrypted mail -- its primary purpose is to make it easy to retrieve keys for signature verification on git commits and packaged releases. If you can turn this off for kernel.org addresses, then please do so.

Some day soon I will be done with list migrations and infra reshuffles and will be able to hack on workflow tools again.

@icon_of_computational_sin I use Migadu for my personal email as well. Doesn't mean I get to easily choose in other situations.

@icon_of_computational_sin if it's hostile, then in the same way the universe is hostile to the humans -- too large to care about some tiny subset of IMAP users on some tiny rock around a mediocre star.

What do you mean "nice costume"? This is what I wear most nights between May and October.

@fox Sure, as part of it. For example, compare the response we see to what is happening in Gaza and compare it to a much more muted reaction to the oppression of ethnic Uyghurs.

@minoru It could be my situation because I use mbsync and so I have more connections than clients that just establish a single connection and use imap IDLE.

Google's IMAP has been increasingly unusable for me in the past couple of weeks. Anyone else having the same problem?

what git jargon do you find confusing? thinking of writing a blog post that explains some of git's weirder terminology: "detached HEAD state”, "fast-forward", "index/staging area/staged", “ahead of 'origin/main' by 1 commit”, etc
(really only looking for terms that you personally find confusing, not terms that you think someone else might be confused about)
