Nice try, "Opera/8.26.(Windows NT 6.0; sa-IN) Presto/2.9.171 Version/10.00", that's a totally legit user-agent. How about this bucket of 403s?

Hey, do you like reviewing code written by someone with zero interest in your project, who ignores all of your carefully established styles and conventions, and who routinely sends in asinine suggestions?

Ugh, Python got over 500 applications this year and so many of them are absolutely trash, didn't follow any of the instructions. Most years about half of our applications are like this. But usually we have a lot fewer applicants and the submissions were blank files not plausible AI nonsense.

So I'm stuck reading hundreds of incredibly low quality nonsensical submissions today in hopes to take some workload off my other unpaid volunteer mentors. This is not the volunteer gig I signed up for 15 years ago when it was mostly working with new contributors and not their AI chatbots and I'm grumpy.

Hey, remember the "Tide Pod Challenge," when people purposefully ingested harmful chemicals on a dare and were then seriously sick? Didn't know they made those things in orange.

Anyway, will someone please hold America's head while it vomits?

“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.

@brauner It shouldn't be, and I can't replicate that failure.
