@krzk It being PyTorch, I expect the answer will be "we asked an AI agent to put together a database of addresses that would be interested in receiving PyTorch announcements."

@stgraber Can you please send your traceroute6 to helpdesk@kernel.org? I don't see any problems, so it must be something unique to your path.

When YouTube says 'this is not available in your country' it should also list the countries where it *is* available, so I know which one to set my VPN to.

@mpdesouza I just need to complete a few steps that would let maintainers "take" the series as opposed to just review it. Not far now, I just need to a) recover from being sick, b) stop dealing with failing hardware. ;)

Gemini, please convert this response into a politely worded email:
Hi:
Your vulnerability report is stupid. You have no idea what you're talking about, or you're hoping that nobody actually checks your findings. Unfortunately for me, I did check your findings and I will never get these 20 minutes of my life back. Everyone is dumber as a result of your report. Please do not contact us again.

@phf kernel.org is managed by the Linux Foundation, but it's a separate legal entity. It didn't use to be managed by LF -- that changed in 2011 when the existing board of directors hired LF to manage the organization directly.

@jwildeboer ah, nice. Looks like that's an EU brand. I've been looking at some Brother embroidery machines to make scout patches, but haven't decided yet. :)

Every "why is English like that" question is answered simply by stating the obvious fact: modern English is an islander creole language that layers many waves of colonizations.

TechDesk@flipboard.socialRemember Elon Musk's hyperloop project? Washingtonian's Matt Ribel breaks down where it all went wrong (spoiler: it was doomed from the start because no one had a clue what they were doing).

@hackillu A surprising number of services hardcode mirrors.kernel.org as the source where they can obtain packages for deployments. They really shouldn't, but they do. Last time there was an extended outage on our side, a lab technician from a major EU hospital emailed me to say that it broke their ability to use some kind of lab equipment because it somehow required downloading a perl package from our CPAN mirror.
Should we start occasionally breaking mirrors.kernel.org so that people identify and fix these dependencies? Maybe. But I'm slightly terrified of unintended consequences that may impact real people's lives.

@_bapt_ @renchap Sweet. Yes, I know I didn't follow up because I got busy, but now there's actually... uh... a lot more interest in having non-US hosting companies also being part of the offering. So, having a couple of nodes with OVH at various EU locations would be fantastic and satisfy a lot of demand (including tech sovereignty ones).

@_bapt_ @renchap Nous avons déjà beaucoup d'opportunités depuis que j'ai envoyé ce message. :) Mais, ce que j'aimerais bien avoir c'est un autre fournisseur européen que juste Akamai, spécifiquement pour les serveurs lore.kernel.org qui offre accès aux archives et messages des ML. Ça prends beaucoup moins de ressources qu'une node mirrors.kernel.org, mais offre beaucoup plus de bénéfices immediats.
