Finally got power back at home. Thinking of people in Kharkiv who have been without power for days and who still don't know if and when they will get it back.

Periodic lamentation about how stupid it is to have 80kWh sitting in my driveway and no way to use it for the rest of the house in emergencies.

Generative AI seems to now be a bigger creator of disinformation than the Republican party.

Closed source software doesn’t have backdoors.

It does have “undocumented administrative features” and “development tools mistakenly enabled in production”, but not backdoors.

Yes, it is possible to backdoor the upstream kernel. No, I'm not the right guy to ask. I literally have a talk about this.

I accidentally found a security issue while benchmarking postgres changes.

If you run debian testing, unstable or some other more "bleeding edge" distribution, I strongly recommend upgrading ASAP.

GMail hits new levels of being unusable for kernel work:

(host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[74.125.200.26] said: 421-4.7.28 Gmail has detected this message exceeded its quota for sending 421-4.7.28 messages with the same Message-ID. To best protect our users, the 421-4.7.28 message has been temporarily rejected. For more information, go to 421 4.7.28 https://support.google.com/mail/answer/188131 me13-20020a170902fc4d00b001e0cd7403a1si1415673plb.79 - gsmtp (in reply to end of DATA command))

Needless to say, this affects delivery of messages sent to multiple mailing lists if the recipient is subscribed to several of them.

From a tweet of mine from 2011, but evergreen:

I DEMAND TO KNOW WHY YOUR GROUP OF OVERWORKED VOLUNTEERS, WHICH I AM NOT A MEMBER OF, IS NOT PURSUING MY PERSONAL GRIEVANCE.

If your company uses proofpoint, you should question how well that money is spent.

A comedy in two acts:

1. (delivery temporarily suspended: host mxb-0031df01.gslb.pphosted.com[205.220.180.131] refused to talk to me: 421 Deferred - see https://ipcheck.proofpoint.com/?ip=147.75.80.249)

Me, materializing in front of my past self in the early 90's: "One day, you will send thousands of mail messages via Australia just so they are delivered more quickly."
Past self: "LOL, WTF."
Me: "Oh, you'll be saying that a lot in 30 years."
