This month, you should use a special-purpose programming language that makes it easy to handle simple data-reformatting jobs.

That's right.

It's.... awktober!

Petition to start naming hurricanes after companies that contribute the most to climate change

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?

I'm getting slowly excited for the upcoming @KernelRecipes conference the 23rd to to 25th of this month.
I will be doing the official live blog of the conference again this year, and you had a preview of how that usually works with the storm^Wspam I sent here during OSFC. It was just a warmup 🙂

I had to do one of those massive IKEA runs today, I finally got a chance to figure out how the cargo bike hire thing works, at least at Tempelhof in Berlin.

You show your receipt at customer service, you show some ID, and if you can ride home with your stuff and then back within three hours, the bike hire is free!*

Today was good riding weather, so it totally worked for me.

A+, would do again.

* I think it’s like 5 EUR per hour after that.

James Wainwright is now presenting "Open source all the way down: developing firmware in parallel with open silicon".

In the context of the OpenTitan open source root-of-trust project, the hardware, its tests and firmware are all developed in lockstep in a monorepo.

End of the Road: An AnandTech Farewell

Whaaaa?.. What do I read instead?

“Some people think it’s controversial to take away a lane from cars and to put in a bike lane. I think it’s controversial to only have one way of getting around. We have choices in all other parts of our lives, but when it comes to transportation, we only have one option.”

Sigh - I guess it had to eventually happen - it is an end of an era..

i really cannot overstate how all political conflicts throughout all of human history are between, on the one side, the people who believe we can build a just and equitable society that cares for everybody, and on the other side, these people:
