Sure, I guess I'm not doing anything important next week. Can't be that hard.

This program is brought to you by Dunning Krueger cigarettes.
Hello, friend. Have you ever felt like you have a basic understanding of how something works, but want to speak about it with that unmistakable air of authority? Well, just light up a Dunning-Krueger and watch the room fall into rapt silence as they listen to you speak on topics you know little to nothing about.
Dunning-Kruger cigarettes. Light up the room with the glow of authority.

Oh, look, another bad bug in Python's email module.
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/100991
I'm starting to think nobody actually tried sending mail with Python until now.

Ugh, I spent way too much time and effort in the past two days working around bugs in the Python email module. The parsing routines are great, but the number of bugs in message generation code is just wild.
I really shouldn't have to write my own to_bytes() serialization code, and yet this is exactly what I have to do, as bugs are just piling up and sitting in the tracker unaddressed.

b4 v0.11.2 is out with some hotfixes. Everyone using v0.10 and v0.11 versions must upgrade. Especially those who like to send and receive 1000+ patch series.

Exactly 14 years ago , Satoshi Nakamoto designed the most pathetic / inefficient system ever invented by humankind : the blockchain.
Today, it weights 60 000 tons, wastes constantly 10 gigawatts (more than Belgium or Chile) to process less than 7 transactions per second :
Less than a 33 bps modem from 1990.
This could be a joke if it didn't have such gigantic environmental impact, wasn't enabling billion dollars ransomware industry and was not crushing thousands of lives in the process.

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]

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.)

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?
