Can't wait for the "send us cryptocoins" section on websites to go the way of the AOL keyword.

Me: nobody sends more than 999 patches in a series, so let's "\d{1,3}/\d{1,3}"
@gregkh: [PATCH 6.1 0000/1146]

Hello, power outage. Hopefully, we're talking hours, not days.

I received feedback to the patches I sent with b4. Hooray, this is actually not guaranteed (but that's a different problem).

In this follow-up video I show how to work with feedback and submit a v2 of your patch.

(I moved my mic stand, so your ears should be okay this time, even in headphones.)

Should I switch to akkoma on social.kernel.org?
24% yes, go akkoma!
9% no, stick with pleroma!
66% No opinion, I just like voting in polls!

Bah, I've recorded the video of submitting the patch using "b4 send", but I didn't think to check what the mic picks up when I'm typing on the keyboard. I apologize for any headaches caused to those listening via headphones.

If you wait a bit, there will be a text write-up on people.kernel.org that you can follow instead of watching the video.

Not entirely surprisingly, attempting to record a "sending a Linux patch from scratch" tutorial video identified a couple of annoying crashers in b4 when some configuration parameters are missing (like, a [sendemail] section -- not identified in previous testing because everyone obviously has a [sendemail] section in their .gitconfig :)).

I'll release b4 0.11.1 with more helpful error messages tomorrow and try to re-record the video again.

Are you someone who has a simple fix for something in the Linux kernel, but haven't bothered submitting a patch because you find the email workflow daunting? Can be a bugfix, spelling correction, anything at all.

If so, I want to talk to you! I have tools that simplify this process quite a bit, but I need more feedback from people who aren't long-term Linux maintainers.

Please reach out, either via here or by emailing mricon@kernel.org.

Um... whoever is running the "bluez test bot" on bugzilla.kernel.org should probably exclude bugs older than a certain age. Just sayin'.

Santa: So, have you been naughty or nice?
Me: Oh, I've been naughty, Santa.
Santa: Oh, really? And how so?
Me: When replying to emails, I've been writing below the "Please do not write below this line".
Santa: What kind of monster are you?

PSA: just having a DKIM-Signature: header in your email isn't really enough, unless it has a d= part matching your From: address.

E.g., this is good:

From: foo@example.com
DKIM-Signature: v=1; d=example.com; [...]

This, on the other hand, serves no real purpose outside of Google:

From: foo@example.com
DKIM-Signature: v=1; d=example-com.20210112.gappssmtp.com; [...]

When there is no DKIM alignment, DMARC-enforcing servers will fall back to only using the SPF record, which doesn't work at all with mailing lists unless they rewrite the From: header.

So, please-please properly set up your DKIM infrastructure if you send messages to mailing lists. Or at the very least don't put p=reject into your DMARC policy.

Does the Tesla executive board loudly beep at you when everyone's asleep at the wheel? I think we're at the point where they have to consider cordoning off the Twitter dumpster fire.

Why is Google Groups "Collaborative Inbox" *SO BAD*? It feels like a summer intern project that was abandoned 10 years ago.
