From all the times Linus has yelled "Christ!" at my emails, I feel like I should become a missionary.

I received an email from my test suite that it failed while I was on the plane waiting for everyone to board. I ssh'd into my server with the Connect app, found it was a configuration issue, fixed the configuration and restarted the tests, before they closed the aircraft door!

-Werror is great, until you need to debug an older kernel 😛

This meme perfectly describes pretty much every interaction between Linus Torvalds and myself!

I think this is the first time I ever used the quadratic equation for a real purpose since college! 🤔

Not every day you can say you were complemented by Linus Torvalds saying you had an “interesting idea”. Always look for those silver linings!

Fixing up a messed up Debian upgrade where I needed to reinstall, I had to hit “Select this only if you know what you are doing”. I don’t know what I’m doing, but I had to hit it to do what I needed to get done 😛

Kernel Recipes (which is always held in Paris) is thinking of changing their logo.

Last night at the real-time celebration, Thomas Gleixner handed Linus Torvalds his official pull request of the real-time patch on paper "wrapped in gold with a ribbon around it''

Yes it does affect non-RT kernels. Like all other RT features added to upstream, it improves vanilla Linux. The graphics developers wanted this change. It will allow for things like a blue screen of death where you can see an oops from a graphical interface.

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!

@ljs @oleksandr technically that's not C but the C pre-processor (CPP).

Reply to @vegard@mastodon.social
@vegard @kernellogger my own experience is that after I add a new feature during the merge window, I'll get a bug report that was actually from an older change before the merge window. Why did this happen? Because the new feature started stressing code paths that were not stressed before and uncovered bugs that existed for a long time. Hence you may see more bug fixes for old bugs early in the rc releases.

@kernellogger Kent's interactions reminds me of another file system creator from long ago, whose name I will not mention.
