My plan it so move the git web view from git.kernel.org to a dedicated host, just as a way to deal with hostile crawler bots interfering with people's ability to actually fetch git objects. I'll follow up with a more formal announcement when it's ready to go.

Used the maintainer features of @monsieuricon 's b4 for the first time and I'm still amazed just how convenient that tool is. It automatically collects the patches together with any tags from the mailing list and then even prepares "thank you" emails with lists of applied patches automatically!

If you're curious, mirrors.kernel.org transfers about 1PiB of data weekly. At Equinix Metal's list price of $0.05 per GB, it would cost us roughly $200,000 a month to operate these systems once the credits go away.

So, yeah, definitely looking for a new home for them.

Temu's slogan is "shop like a billionaire" but I can't find "US president" for sale anywhere on their site.

I'm considering dropping commercially backed distros from mirrors.kernel.org as part of the migration away from Equinix Metal: Fedora, Ubuntu, Opensuse. It would drop us from 35TB to 23TB and make a significant impact on our bandwidth requirements.

I guess it's not any different than liquor stores dumping all US alcohol. I'll miss Bulleit Bourbon, but I'm happy to make a swift transition to Canadian Ryes.

The "alien spaceship" display at the Canada Science and Technology Museum has a screen that's just a bunch of htop, ping sessions, and matrix screensavers and I'm legit curious if it's sourcing them from those "your vnc port is open" sites.

Geez, don't send me a "friendly reminder" to fill out your voluntary customer survey. It's the business speak equivalent of ending your request with "or suffer the consequences."

I am so amused by the whining from the data scraping tech bros about (GASP) the data scraping being done by other people...
https://www.404media.co/openai-furious-deepseek-might-have-stolen-all-the-data-openai-stole-from-us/

Of course we'll go from vilification, to banning, to public subsidy of the domestic tech bros in order to protect our "lead" in... whatever it is that the current type of garbage GenAI is good for.

Oh, wait, we already jumped to the last part

Somehow people think that when you switch from Linux to BSD, it makes us upset.

BSDs are nice! Totally go try them out! Monocultures are bad regardless of your platform of choice, so as long as we can still all interoperate on the network level, you're making the world a more resilient place.
