@kuoirad sphinx-built RTD sites. Or anything statically generated will do, really.

Trying to kill the 3 remaining wikis that we host. Wikis were a nice idea back in 2000's, but these days it's a constant struggle against spammers and AI farms that descend on your sites like locust and consume all resources until the system falls over.

When Donald says "jump," Elon says "how high?"

Truly, a thought leader.

@yura true story: if you happen to give your Linux system a hostname "linux.com" (and it can actually deliver mail), these reports end up in my inbox, where they periodically give me a heart attack.

@pdp7 can you tell me which frontend? Looking at "host lore.kernel.org" should let you know which one.

@kees I have not considered this brevectuality, but I'm starting to suspect that a brevect is something you may order with a cup of covfefe.

@gulovsen My first guess was that it was about a "patent" (brevet in French), but who knows.

Brevect like "brexit" but you actually evict them.

I am having an amusing and/or deranged conversation with someone who is trying to gaslight me into being ashamed for not knowing what a "brevect" is. (Also, their preferred mechanism for quoting emails in replies appears to be to cut-and-paste screenshots.)

So, what *is* a "brevect" about which the "kernel staff' should totally know? Let your imagination run wild, I'm curious.

@puppygirlhornypost2 I'm with you on this one, but there's a very simple explanation for this -- when you're not using the app, you're not generating user data that the company was planning to sell. So, when you install an app but don't actually use it, you're a) bringing down someone's KPIs, b) eating into the company's planned revenue.

(My apologies if I came across as a rando explain guy -- I actually had this very conversation with one of my kids very recently, so it was fresh on my mind.)

Dream pitchers and dream shortstops? Is there an entire dream team?

The existence of "dream catchers" suggests that there are also "dream throwers."
