As someone who named his project "b4" -- a name that is really hard to search online, I totally commiserate with someone who named their project "age".

While the screams and roars of the "plz no more " crowd can be heard, do consider viable ways for the Linux community to replace it.

It's very easy to point at minisign/ssh and similar projects and go "use that". But it misses the convenience of binding an identity to a key, along with having a key distribution mechanism.

I think standardizing `.well-known/public-key` for lookups, and explore a path where we can jam a tlog into it would be interesting.

Quick, everyone, quit speaking Russian before the motherland comes and liberates the sh*t out of you.

I believe this falls under "dem's are fighting words," quite literally.

The comparison is not favorable.

Oh by the way.
Everyone knows "Carol of the bells", right?

You may not know but the roots of this song are in a pretty famous here Ukrainian folk song Shchedryk.

There is no shortage of criticism here, but not all of it is actually well backed by facts. Here is a pretty chilling account on why is not just bad for us, it's actively evil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0K4XPu3Qhg

This is the most country thing you'll hear today, except it's in Norwegian. You're welcome.

Little known fact about me: I'm a certified baseball umpire. I know it's an alien sport to most of you, so ask me anything you want to know about baseball rules and I'll do my best to explain why it is like that.

Whenever I see a โ€œrice my Arch w/hyprlandโ€ video, Iโ€™m like:

You think thatโ€™s badass? You shouldโ€™ve tried getting X11 running on a Linux machine in the mid-90s. You needed your monitor & video card manuals & a calculator (seriously) so you could calculate โ€œmodelinesโ€ for your X11 config file.

If you got the math wrong youโ€™d fry your monitor by driving it at too high a frequency (back then nearly all monitors were fixed-frequency).

Typing โ€œstartxโ€ for the first time was *so* stressful.

Saying our last goodbyes to Equinix servers. First as packet.net and then as Equinix Metal, they served kernel.org wonderfully over the past 7 years. With the deadline looming on Dec 31, we're powering them off today. They've been replaced by Akamai and servers.com, (though we had to downscale our mirrors service from 4 worldwide nodes to just two, one in NA and one in EU).

Just as I was getting over jet lag, I come down with something. Flu, probably, judging by Canada-wide numbers. Both of my kids were sick with it as I came home, and the poor sleep definitely didn't help my immune system.
