That you admired Richard Stallman when you were a young coder just entering the world of open source development is no mark against you -- abusers are like that.

Where judgment of you comes in is now -- you're an adult, you know your asshole from your elbow, and you have been shown evidence of who the man actually is. What you say and do in response to that -- that's what defines what kind of person you are.

I have implemented AArch64 support in the smtgcc GCC translation validator.

The support is somewhat limited and only handles a subset of the A64 base instructions, but it has already found a bug in the GCC AArch64 backend!

Proposing that C++ acknowledge that there are exactly 8 bits in a byte.
I’d love feedback, especially from embedded / DSP folks who think this is a terrible idea.

THIS IS IT!!!

The last hurdle for PREEMPT_RT being merged into mainline has just removed by this pull request. Leaving the door open for PREEMPT_RT to be added to 6.12!

Got around to fixing my e-mail setup and need some advice.

I'm pulling mail with isync/mbsync from an IMAP server that does no reasonable spam filtering. Over 99% of my mail is spam since my address is not exactly a secret.

I have no idea how to deal with this. Spamassassin is too slow, clunky and I'm unable to do any reasonable filtering with it.

I'd be fine with crude filtering, an allowlist of addresses and "Subject:.*[PATCH]", and deny everything that is a HTML e-mail, MIME encoded, etc. But what's a good way to do this? Is procmail still used? What's a good way to hook filtering in? Is mbsync/isync a reasonable idea?

How do you grownups solve this?
