@TheWarOnCars and now that whole side of the street has started parking on the sidewalk. I guess the figure if one guy can get away with it, then just go for it?

@itaru I'm not actually sure what it's called, I just press Fn+H and that makes it stop throttling so hard.

Wondering if that might be something the #Linux #kernel development community could use to motivate a few people to improve the #LinuxKernel's docs:

"'"Google Season of Docs provides direct grants to open source projects to improve their documentation and gives professional technical writers an opportunity to gain experience in open source."'"

When I got started with Linux kernel debugging, one of the most opaque topics was core dumps. What's inside them? What formats are there? How do they get created? How can you fix them if they're broken?

I've learned a lot over the past several years, and I wrote a guide based on my experience. It's a very long article, and surely not complete. I hope if you're interested in kernel debugging, you might read it and find it useful!

@paulmckrcu @TheWarOnCars ya, I guess I could put some big wheels on the jack and just drag it around everywhere I go...

@raito Ha that's getting into NDA territory

@TheWarOnCars Sometimes I feel like people are just being assholes because they can, it kind of drives me crazy because I don't really know what to do...

is running my X1 carbon in high-TDP mode all the time a bad idea?

git config --global rerere.enabled true

I learned this at #FOSDEM. You too might want to set it.

@alatiera @pid_eins assuming it's like the last few years: the devroom managers have to approve the video cut points and then the videos have to transcode, but after that they'll show up on the website in various places. Sometimes that takes a day or two.

@oleksandr ya, makes sense -- I've got ton of other stuff stuck to the back, so I guess I forgot some people don't...

For the actual 3D printing stuff, I just use TinkerCAD. That's about as much CAD as I actually need ;)

I made it this year, I’m in Brussels for #FOSDEM ! Join me tomorrow in room h1309 at 11h30 CEST for my talk about the mainline Linux state of Qualcomm SoCs and @LinaroLtd engineers work to achieve current state https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-1707-mainline-linux-on-qualcomm-socs-are-we-here-now-/

At the risk of spoiling next week's "quote of the week": @monsieuricon 's post on why projects like the kernel and Git continue working over email is definitely worth a read.

@oleksandr not really a direct answer, but I've got a C925e and it has one of those standard tripod threads on the mount. So I just stuck a small tripod head adapter to the back of my monitor with double-sided tape.

A fantastic job opportunity here, a German train company are looking for a Windows 3.11 Administrator https://www.gulp.de/gulp2/g/projekte/agentur/C00929028

A customer found their machine being hung during reboot. A vmcore was collected. The vmcore analysis shown that the reboot sequence was stuck with tasks waiting for TTY to be unlocked after Scroll Lock was pressed. The customer came back demanding a workaround. Our reply was something like "press Scroll Lock again to unlock the TTY". I wonder what comes next.

If you think working as a Senior Principal in the Kernel team is fun, think twice.
