Amazing Heilung ritual last night in Trutnov, in an open-air amphitheater. So glad I went and got myself to a ~7th row. Highly recommended

🙅 Using cgroups or ulimit to limit process memory footprint
🙆 Running x32 version of stuff

BREAKING: Linus rescinds all 'don't break userland' requirements for mm as he deems memory 'virtual' and therefore not real

what I learned about anonymous memory in the linux kernel the past days

yes it can. no matter what contrived example you think up, it can do it

MAP_SHARED or MAP_PRIVATE, fork, mremap with or without MREMAP_DONTUNMAP, the possibilities are endless and very entertaining

The more I dig through kernel mailing list discussions, the more I think that we would do well to end the use of "NAK" entirely. It is an exercise of power that is hurtful to read and gets in the way of an actual discussion of how a patch needs to be improved. I have, in my maintainer role, never said "NAK" to a patch and plan to continue that way.

*Edited* since people are asking: NAK (or NACK) comes (I believe) from the ASCII negative-acknowledge character. In this context, is an abrupt way for a maintainer to reject a patch.

Muscovy has just hit a university in my native Poltava killing 40+ people. Meanwhile, by imposing various restrictions, our allies protect Muscovian sky much better than Ukrainian.

/me adds "parisc64 emulation in qemu" on the list of things that have broken SLUB because they were buggy. https://lore.kernel.org/all/250f3ae6-3a81-40c7-a747-4713e8888510@gmx.de/

I recently saw an amazing Navajo rug at the National Gallery of Art. It looks abstract at first, but it is a detailed representation of the Intel Pentium processor. Called "Replica of a Chip", it was created in 1994 by Marilou Schultz, a Navajo/Diné weaver and math teacher. Intel commissioned the weaving as a gift to the American Indian Science & Engineering Society. 1/6

Excellent new essay by Ted Chiang, who gets to the heart of why language and art are inherently about conveying meaning and experience, not just form:

can I have a new brain please?

I have a problem with USB cables. Unusual one. Have too small amount of them.

Working ones. Ones with data lines. USB 3 capable ones.

Today I have cut four cables which had only +5v and gnd. And found two more of them in a car. Plugged into charger which requires data lines to reach full potential.

USB is recursive acronym: USB Sucks Badly.

So apparently now we have a pet rooster, won in a raffle at a local breeder exhibition. A few years ago it was a bunny rabbit and a guinea pig. Maybe we should instead attend something where we could win for example, I don't know, a TV?

Planning to spend some time in and around Prague after LPC. Any suggestions on things to do?

This is what it looked like in Slovakia on 21.8.1968. Armies of the Warsaw pact invaded Czechoslovakia. Why? Because we wanted democracy instead of a communist totalitarian regime.

They killed 148 people and almost half a milion people emigrated in the following years (many died attempting to cross the guarded borders).

They stayed until 1991, leaving behind them ruin, death, enviromental and cutural damage.
