We must assume that Europe is becoming the world's last democratic major hub. Imperfect, perhaps, but democratic.

As such, Europe is the prime target of the new American administration.

Everything this administration will do will be aimed at harming us.

Washington's primary objective is now to hamper Europe's ability to exert a counter-power, even if it means joining forces with the worst tyrants.

We still have allies in the United States, but not within the administration.

I wasn't particularly fond of Greta Thunberg, but I like Apartheid Karen even less.

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."
