Installed mastodon.el and am now able to toot from within #emacs itself - very
neat, and seems to work quite well!

As always, with Emacs, the biggest problem is the blocking network requests;
pining for multithreading...

I keep seeing lots of long-time users saying 'don't favourite posts it does nothing' but actually when you favourite my posts it makes me smile and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Right, so I guess it's time for a slightly belated #introduction

I'm a Linux kernel hacker at Red Hat, working on the networking and BPF subsystems. I maintain the sch_cake qdisc and the ath9k WiFi driver, and also dabble in userspace code, most notably the Flent network testing tool and the libxdp library.

I'm also an academic, at least in spirit. Wrote my PhD thesis on fixing #bufferbloat in wired and WiFi networks (get your free copy here: https://bufferbloat-and-beyond.net/ ), and I keep in touch with the academic world through the Red Hat Research programme.

I contribute to FLOSS for both moral and pragmatic reasons: gifting our software to the world is the way we leave this world a bit better than we found it. I consider "proprietary" to be a derogatory term, and loathe the term "IP".

Oh, and I'm the proud "father" of Marvin, the cutest teenage Rhodesian Ridgeback (that's a dog breed)!

Okay, why on earth did I think it was a good idea to start playing with this fediverse thing at such an hour? It's now 2am, and I should definitely set this aside until tomorrow! 😅🙈

Good night everyone!

If you're in the MAINTAINERS file, you can have a social.kernel.org account (but only if you need one -- no need to go around collecting fediverse accounts if you don't intend to use them). Send a request to helpdesk@kernel.org.

@brauner right, gotcha... not sure my tweet/toot rate is high enough that I'll bother with that, but good to know!

@brauner Uh, neat, are you cross-posting manually or is that automated somehow?
