I was always using git branch --edit-description && git format-patch && git send-email, but now I tried preparing and sending patchset with b4 (b4 prep && b4 send). It works great! It is trivial in use and really solves the workflow. I cannot understand why people still Cc wrong people or are unable to send one patchset properly threaded.

Edit: --edit-cover->--edit-description

Crap, my secret identity is out. Where did I slip up?

@tivasyk probably an unfunny pun on "Ashkenazi Jew"

@vbabka @mpdesouza reflect specifically exists to populate all to and cc headers (without actually sending to them) and I think it would be confusing for people receiving such patches for pre-review.

From CZ to SBF, 2023 was the year of the fallen crypto bro

Going from zero to billionaire to zero is no crypto bro's dream.

Remember when the only correct thing to do with Nazis was to punch them?

Because #Substack doesn't allow sex workers to post anything "pornographic" means they've decided that there absolutely is a line that cannot be crossed on their platform and they have now said OUT LOUD that literal Nazis do not cross that line.

Un-fucking-believable.

"SMTP Smuggling" vulnerability in Postfix allows to spoof senders even in the presence of some DMARC checks. Configuration workarounds exist.

Also, a wholehearted f* you to SEC Consult, who sat on this since June and disclosed it to some closed-source vendors and MSPs, but could apparently not be bothered to give e.g. Postfix a heads-up, publishing this close to the holidays.

Boosts for awareness welcome.

Captain,

When we visit planets 4 and 8 of the Chan system, is the Prime Directive still in effect? They deserve some interference.

Worf

@LWN Thank you for accurately calling it "invasion of Ukraine" as opposed to "conflict in Ukraine." ❤️

The reason Ukraine is running out of artillery shells and other critically important supplies is, Speaker Mike Johnson in his clean suit on the left thinks, the weapons support to the Ukrainian soldier on the right can wait.

So Mike Johnson is now going home to celebrate Christmas with his family, while this soldier is trying to fight the Russian invasion with even less weapons.

The US deserves better politicians.

@drewdevault unfortunately, we already have too many examples of people always preferring familiarity and convenience over any but very immediately threatening environmental concerns.

NYT has tipped things over into being on my personal sh*t list for the foreseeable future. Bad takes, bad research, bad faith.

Even wanted to know when a recent #Linux #kernel commit hit linux-next? Use a command like this on a git tree containing linux-next:

git tag --contains 49d8575ca --sort=creatordate --list 'next-*' | head -n 1

My linuxscrunity tool[1] can now show this on request, too (see screenshot):

@GossiTheDog Only if it's Arch, btw.

This was nice. #myotherlife

@jarkko For sure -- the goal is to be forge-agnostic as much as possible. I believe most of the work to handle GH pull requests will lend itself fairly straightforwardly to GL MRs (but I may be overly optimistic here, who knows).

@damoncjones @Daojoan I may be relaying an apocryphal story, but I believe during the trucker protests in Ottawa there were some American truckers who ended up being arrested. I mean, they knew they were in a different country, but they where genuinely convinced that since they are US citizens, anyone dealing with them must follow US laws as well.
