Any insights as to what the "linux-lugnuts" list may have been about? I'm guessing it's something to do with LUGs (Linux User Groups)?

If I want to stop receiving messages from you, I click "block and report as spam," which is dramatically faster and more effective, Jack.

"Subscribing" to mailing lists via sourcing a pop3 mailbox from lore.kernel.org now works. Should be of particular interest to gmail users.

I'll document after some more initial testing.

I'm aware that the social.k.o home timeline isn't loading. Not sure why -- nothing obvious in the logs. I'm poking more.

Why didn't anyone warn me that the story line in Death Stranding is super messed up?

I'm aware that vger.kernel.org isn't able to deliver mail right now, but it's still not something I can fix (at least, not until we complete the migration).

All the right people have been alerted.

Critic: "EVs are too dangerous because Li-ion batteries are prone to overheating and exploding".
Same critic: *sticks a Li-ion battery into their ear where it's as close as possible to the brain*

Remember when everything was on Netflix and we thought we could finally stop torrenting because the convenience vs cost trade-off was finally reasonable? Well, now that I also need Disney+, Britbox, Paramount+, and who knows what next, just to watch the 5 shows I'm actually interested in following, I'm thinking it may be time to dust off uTorrent.

If you wrote a crawler to retrieve lore.kernel.org messages instead of, you know, cloning the underlying git repositories and doing it locally, you are a bad person and you should feel ashamed.

My plans to register kernel.wtf to work as an easy alias for bugzilla bugs (kernel.wtf/217884) fell through because kernel.wtf is already registered.

Looks like migadu.com is having mail delivery problems. 📭

Every so often I see a post about how LLMs fail logic puzzles.

And... yes? Of course they do. The only way it could solve it is if it has seen the puzzle before or a substantially similar one. (But that might cause it to give the answer to the similar one, not the correct answer.)

Why is this even tested so often or considered surprising? It is, in essence, an autocomplete. It does not understand logic. It has no concept of a correct answer. It gives the most likely completion.

I hear you, but until vger migration is completed (some time hopefully in the next few months), I'm still not able to do anything about vger mail delivery issues.

Man, centos is so hostile to mirror admins. Instead of just requiring a username/password for mirroring, they restrict primary mirror access by IP, and to make any changes they require that mirror admins open a ticket on some very slow webby thing.

Every time someone claims that they have replaced OpenPGP with "something easier," I always look to see how they handle key management and trust delegation, and usually discover that it's just handwaved away.

Questions like this are a reminder that key management and trust delegation are the exact thing that makes OpenPGP "too hard" in the eyes of most people.
