“Introducing Linux as a “Unix-like” operating system in 2025 is like describing modern cars as “horseless carriage-like””

20 Years ago: the BitKeeper license changed, making it unavailable for kernel development.

It drove home the perils of relying on proprietary software and spurred the creation of Git - a significant event, overall.

@mks_h you're right, my apologies. I took the image from the DeepState tg channel.

@rostedt @vbabka that describes the process how most people end up having accounts on kernel.org -- it's the standard maintainer ascension path.

@brauner You can continue to use /r/ in URLs, or just omit /r/ entirely. Don't use /all/.

@brauner The anubis bot protection that I put in place yesterday required remapping some of the mountpoints, such as the legacy /r/. Internally, b4 has been using /all/ instead of /r/ for a while, but people who had b4.midmask set to a URL with /r/ in it experienced problems. Fixing the /r/ mount fixed the problem.

@brauner No worries, I was already able to fix that anyway. So, unless you still have this problem, I would just move on at this point. :)

@brauner I have one other report of this. Could you send it to tools@kernel.org and include the output of `git config --get-regexp b4.*`

@simontatham i always think of it as "you had me at hello" but it doesn't make a nice acronym.

@raito It's certainly an interesting topic, and the main reason I swapped the default graphics for generic emojis is really two-fold: 1. the tech community in general has a complicated history when it comes to objectifying women, so while having a feminine mascot greet you may be seen as a positive thing in one light, it can also be interpreted poorly. 2. "sad" and "happy" are emotions that can be difficult to judge for some people. I wanted a very blunt "working," "passed," "failed" graphics.

git.kernel.org and lore.kernel.org now require proof of work. Big thanks to Anubis developers for filling this important need.

Users of w3m and lynx browsers will be asked to identify and fix a bug in the mm subsystem before they are allowed to access git kernel.org.

I worry that we're mere weeks or months away from free software being declared unamerican in the US.
