I'm really loving how Mastodon has become a refuge for all the grizzled seafarers on the ocean of the internet. They pop up in my feed and their bios all say something like

"I've been online for longer than the internet. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. 56k modems on fire in the light of Usenet. I watched IRC forks glitter in the dark near the Gateway 3000. All those moments will be lost in slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify."

The #Portland #Linux #Kernel Meetup is tonight Thursday, March 27th, at the Lucky Labrador Beer Hall on NW Quimby St https://www.meetup.com/portland-linux-kernel-meetup/events/306813644/ #PDX #LinuxKernel

We ended up doing a Firefox release to deal with this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1954323

Registration and the Call for Proposals are now open for DebConf25. This year's event will be held in Brest, back in France its place of origin, and will offer talks, hacking sessions, activities and discussions. We are looking forward to a Cheese & Wine party in the right country this year ;-), and an additional Crêpes and Cider evening, a tribute to Brittany https://debconf25.debconf.org/news/2025-03-24-dc25-registration-cfp-open/ #debian #debconf25 #brest #france

The original Dear Abby was a badass, esp for her time, she was a champion for queer acceptance in her column and was very big on telling parents to listen and accept their children instead of punishing and fighting with them. But also this response is a banger. Top 10 advice columnist responses of all time.

Linaro’s Toolchain team is one of the leading contributors to #Arm support in #GNU #toolchain projects. In this blog we look at a year's worth of Linaro's CI results for the #GDB testsuite: https://ow.ly/n7KT50V3xJH

Celebrate with us next week on the 20th when we’ll do a slow ride on the new park as well as some Slow Streets!

Odd-sized loads: no problem. The wife's cargo today. #cargobike #bicycle

I am looking for a remote (I am Europe-based) internship or half-time job.

Half to learn, half for an extra income.

I do GPU driver & compiler dev for fun. Nowhere near professional level, but I got some experience and a thirst for knowledge.

I also do some type theory things with proof assistants, and some light Linux x86 reverse engineering.

I had worked on reverse engineering mpi3mr & megaraid RAID controller APIs.

I have worked extensively with Vulkan and OpenGL from writing quite a few small game engines in Java.

I did a lot of Java bytecode things; Messed with the Rust compiler; Loads of C OSDev things; Haskell (mostly messing around); Wayland (I have a bunch of simple apps); X11 (wrote a status bar, window manager, compositor, image viewer)

I have extensive experience with reading very large C codebases, and spent a lot of time digging around the internals of Linux, specifically the kernel and low level subsystems.

I worked with encrypted chat protocols specifically on E2EE, on Matrix, writing spec proposals for removing ambiguity, improving UX, and security.

I have some experience with x86 and 6502 assembly; wrote a 6502 assembler and partial (not cycle accurare) emulator.

If anyone is interested, please reach out. (Boosts welcome)

This is sort of my CV; I will not be able to sign a contract under my legal name, but tranquillity codes is a name I use for years and has a commit in Mesa, so it should be good enough as common law.

Do note that this is a personal account, so be careful about viewing our general posts besides this one. We have posted recently about SPIR-V control flow, stack machine to SSA, and Intel GEN assembly.

"Voters in Stockholm and London both initially opposed congestion pricing before and as the toll was introduced. But as the benefits of less traffic became immediately apparent, support for the toll shot up in both cities."

Announcing it on Mastodon before anywhere else:

We've just set up a Discord server for Patreon supporters at the Sergeant and Lieutenant levels. We're doing this slowly and might expand to other tiers as we see how it all works out.

Thanks for your support!
