Alle kleingedruckten Warnungen der Welt machen es nicht okay, in Öffis dafür zu werben wie einfach es ist Geld in Kryptocasinos zu werfen. 🤬

Die Raiffeisenbank und die Innsbrucker Verkehrsbetriebe sollten sich schämen.

You will be sorely missed Dan Williams, you were a good engineer and a great person, I will miss seeing you at our conferences every year. You were the best of us and you leave quite the hole.

Years ago, I complained loudly when the Fedora project proclaimed that its mailing lists were dead and all discussions would move to its forum silo. So, needless to say, I applaud the decision (or at least the proposed decision) to begin moving back toward the mailing lists:

"This software has such a retro vibe."
"Pixel art?"
"No, it isn't laggy and just works."

🔥So many Linux CVEs! To make them scarier, I asked my favorite LLM to come up with names. As you know, only vulnerabilities with a decent name and a URL are serious. ;-)

After seeing more and more people just copy and pasting the output of LLMs, I feel the urge to cite Immanuel Kant 🧠:
"Enlightenment is man's release from his self-incurred tutelage. Tutelage is man's inability to make use of his understanding without direction from another. Self-incurred is this tutelage when its cause lies not in lack of reason but in lack of resolution and courage to use it without direction from another."

There was an unfortunate error while changing the kernel.org primary/secondary mirroring infrastructure, which resulted in the /pub tree suddenly becoming empty. No data was lost, just public mirror copies. Everything is now being restored, but deletes are fast and restores are slow, so thank you for your patience!

EDITED: You can follow the official incident here: https://status.linuxfoundation.org/incidents/3y1k8b4ky71t

The @lwn web site is currently under the most intense scraper attack I have seen yet. 1.3M unique IP addresses within the last couple of hours, and it's not done yet. The work we have done on defenses appears to be paying off, though; the server is holding up reasonably well — so far.

...just in case anybody wonders why I have a rather dim view of the whole AI industry...
