@torvalds I've always struggled with the concept of a Turing Machine creating consciousness. I believe consciousness can only be achieved through analog means. As computers only work in digital, it could not achieve this. I truly believe consciousness, by its very nature, can only be achieved with the use of irrational numbers.

@kernellogger I as so disappointed that it wasn’t done to the tune of “What have you done for me lately”….. “What Has RCU Done Lately… ooh ooh ooh yeah!” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9uizdKZAGE

@kernellogger @vbabka and I support your noise. Crank up the volume!

@takaswie @wagi and for a program that requires specific ftrace events for!

@takaswie you may not need to backport libnih. One of the first things I want to change after using only upstream trace events is to remove the dependency on libnih!

@takaswie thanks! I just got the autoconf to work. I haven't posted that update yet, but I would be happy to have it work with meson. My main requirement is to make sure it doesn't regress ChromeOS.

@monsieuricon @torvalds I thought Walleij was the real “Linus”. And yes, we need to get him here! (maybe he is, but I can’t find him).

@takaswie I would love to switch (and may do so), but we are resurrecting “ureadahead” from the dead, and it’s currently knee deep in autoconf. It has international local support and all that jazz, where I have no idea how to port that to meson and not cause regressions (it’s really more like a zombie than totally dead).

Random first trial post: today, March 14th, is the 29th anniversary of the Linux 1.0 announcement.

Of course, there are other arguably more important dates in Linux history, but this is one of them.

There’s no hell like trying to make a project build with autoconf - automake written in 2009 work with today’s autoconf - automake.

@kernellogger sadly that's been on my TODO list since 2009 🫤

Today is the anniversary of the public announcement of streamline_config.pl. What eventually became “make localmodconfig” https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/Pine.LNX.4.58.0503110338230.19798@localhost.localdomain/

And today’s hack is: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230306122529.44e8d566@gandalf.local.home/

PowerTop has had a copy of libtraceevent for over 10 years, with the assumption it would use the external library when ready. That library has been ready for a few years now, but I finally got around to porting PowerTop to it. https://github.com/fenrus75/powertop/pull/122

Running my tests costs me a bit in my electricity bill!

I guess I’m not the only one that hates this: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1028643#26

@ljs Debian (testing)

@monsieuricon Maybe one day when searching for realtime linux kernel the first link will not be the obsolete kernel.org wiki!
