Alright, let's review this patchset!
1/10: nice and easy, ack
2/10: oh I already did ack this on previous version a week ago, although I don't remember that at all now. Anyway, good...
3/10: hmm.... yeah I guess? Ack...
4/10: oh, so the plot starts to thicken here...
5/10: uh... so tomorrow is also a day, right?

Oh shit, here we go again.

It's called madvise() because it makes you mad when the kernel decides to ignore your flags.

Attacks on Terrorist Russian oil refineries should continue – #US General Ben Hodges

#Ukraine: no one called us about anything.

Further, Mykhailo Podolyak, closest adviser to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said the government has NOT received calls from the United States asking Ukraine to halt attacks on Russian energy infrastructure.

The story was a russian #disinformation #op.

Remember, burn a refinery a day to keep the russians away.

Remember when we had to rewind our DVD disks after watching a movie or listening to music, so it will start from the beginning?

When I was a kid, my sister forgot to rewind a Lion King DVD and when I wanted to watch it, it spoiled me the ending. :(

Swap me out and I only fault in harder

While the US congress has been blocked for 150 days, even the tiny, Islamic mountain country of Kosovo is now sending their first two military aid packages to Ukraine containing:

— Mortar rounds
— Trucks
— Tacktical armored vehicles

Thank you to the Kosovans! 🇽🇰♥️🇺🇦

I'm understanding more and more that open source is about the people more than it is about the software.

My mother-in-law just called me and asked if she should invest in the "new Bitcoin". She saw a video on FB where a famous Czech actor praised it on a talk show. Clearly a deepfake scam.

And she would definitely do it if she didn't have me. Some time ago I defended ad blockers as tools of online security and this is a real-life example that it's really the case.

Until Google, Meta and others get their act together, their ads should be blocked.

so i think it's time for me to start actively looking for a new position, what with the company buyout and having watched axing most of the current management structure.

i'm a generalist linux wrangler, with a long (20+ years) and wide (if a bit eclectic) experience – system management, configuration management, a bit of simple glue tooling and scripting (bash, python), ansible & co., basic infrastructure services (ldap, dns), general db skills (not at the dba level), devops-y stuff etc.; also with long experience working in multi time-zone environment. fluent english and polish, passive german knowledge, some russian. no kubernetes, but that can be amended reasonably quickly – i'm already doing plenty of yaml programming.

i will be looking for a senior position, remote work (i'm currently located in poland, and am not willing to relocate).

current cv available on request (private message will do, with all caveats regarding its privacy)

I'm definitely going for the glorious new mistakes.

Notes on the "slab: Introduce dedicated bucket allocator" series

Me, an idiot: “So, kids, by setting the thermostat a little lower and eating less meat, we’re doing our part to make the world more sustainable”

VCs, very smart: “We just raised $100 billion dollars from the sovereign wealth funds of three petrostates to build the world’s largest AI supercomputer. It uses as much power and water as Guatemala and the primary use case is for management consultants to autogenerate powerpoints for justifying mass layoffs.”

I'm just going to say it, and we can agree to disagree if you do in fact disagree...

systemd has categorically made Linux better in basically every way imaginable

It's earnestly cool if you don't agree but it's really really good

🤷
