If I had a bucket full of hockey pucks, I would still give zero pucks about twitter.

"Verified on Mastodon" is meaningless if you don't 100% trust that instance's admins.

The wiki murdering spree is now en vigueur, starting with rt.wiki.kernel.org. More murders to be committed tomorrow.

Chillsynth / retrowave album recommendations? Has to have actual melody, not just chords morphing one into another.

I plan on sunsetting all wikis at kernel.org by archiving them to static sites, migrating them to RTD-style docs, or just turning them off if they haven't been updated in 10+ years.

Everything happening right now with Twitter will happen with GitHub.

Ok, I thought someone was just pulling my leg with that last message to helpdesk, but there's now a follow-up from the same person, and it's clear that they genuinely need medical attention -- the kind I'm most certainly not qualified to offer. :(

Me: I wonder why I don't work from the couch that often.
Me, 5 minutes later: Oh. Right.

"Connect to wifi to download an update" is such a frustratingly stupid feature in a vehicle. It's a car, dammit. It's parked outside. I'm not going to buy a wifi repeater just so my in-house wifi is reachable from the driveway. Just use your own connection -- pretty sure I download more data monthly via streaming radio than the size of that software update.

Submitted a CfP to the @LinuxSecSummit in Vancouver titled "How to backdoor the Linux Kernel (and fail?)".

Hopefully, see you there? :)

social.kernel.org should be now up and running on Akkoma. It may take a little bit for things posted during the downtime to show up, but they should all make it there eventually.

I've decided to migrate social.k.o to Akkoma (a fork of Pleroma). There will be some visual changes to the site, but any of the apps that are currently working for you should continue to work just fine.

The tentative migration date is Monday, Jan 30.

There will be a quick downtime on social.k.o due to me poking at the backend to increase some timeouts.

Me: I feel like sitting on the couch to do work this morning, let me just grab my laptop.

flatpak-system-helper: here, let me warm your lap for you.

flatpak-system-helper, 15 minutes later: hope you didn't need 20% of your battery for anything else.

Guys, we've tried fascism before. It doesn't work any better than liberal democracy and when it fails, it fails really really badly.

b4 0.12.0 is available

Everyone using "b4 send" must upgrade to stop hitting Python email module bugs.
