Reading about the debates reminds me of that scene in Rocky where he goes against Thunderlips.

@ross No, not yet. I've been focused on infra/OS upgrades, so my b4 work is slower than expected.

I was aware of patman before I started working on b4 contributor features, but I see them as targeting slightly different audiences. My goal is to solve several problems: 1. lower the entry barrier for newbies and occasional committers, 2. make it possible to submit patches without requiring a compliant SMTP server.

With the recent changes to public-inbox and the new set of features I'm planning for b4-0.15, we should be getting closer to the point where it's reasonable to send patches via pull requests and have them go through a full review cycle with lore.kernel.org acting as a fully transparent "messaging bus."

Good overview of patman and b4 from Doug Anderson at Google.

Shamefacedly deletes an unanswered thread dating to February 2023 from his inbox.

In my head, an error message from qmail:

This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

@pdp7 @gregkh just out of curiosity I asked ChatGPT what "tip.git" stands for, and it assures me, that it stands for "Tracking Important Patches". Which is on par with LLMs, I guess.

Interesting replies on kernel newbies from @gregkh and @monsieuricon
> What does "TIP" stand for in the repository

' "Thomas" "Ingo" "Peter", the original maintainers of that tree (i.e. the
x86 maintainers tree, which has now grown to other people and other
parts of the kernel.)'

@losttourist Can confirm -- I have previously sent my nitrokey through a washing cycle and it's still working after overnighting in some silica gel crystals.

In non-CVE news, here's some fun hardware I got while visiting Hong Kong. It's not the snappiest laptop I've ever used, but it holds potential!

Kernel source is all public (there's a 6.1.y and 6.6.y tree at the moment), hopefully will start working on getting it all merged upstream to make it a proper platform for others to use.

@vbabka @gregkh you don't have to change anything if it's working for you. It's the people who are using plain private keys that I'm trying to motivate to change.

Got Linus switched over to a FIDO2-backed ssh key. You should, too!

"Purging voter registrations" is a much more powerfull election interference op than anything Russians did.
