BTRFS snapshots are a god send. I really have no idea how many times they've saved me from a complete reinstall. One did happen about a week ago, I completely messed up my Void install. Bring back snapshots with Timeshift, everything is good to go!

Everyone does... it's funny how it eventually works.

Underrated comment.

Well, just goes to show you, never buy a Mac ๐Ÿ˜‚.

On a long enough time scale, yes, it will get tidy.

It can be done with AI, but it's far more work than actually manually syncing it, since the lyrics prompt is not exactly what is written on the screen. Some parts are deliberately missing, since I presume that the output was garbage with that additional text. Like "https" is missing in some parts.

It's still funny ๐Ÿ˜‚... and a real banger, especially the TLS part ๐Ÿค˜.

 
 

Cheap Chinese devices have iron instead of copper in wires. Aluminium is not suitable, since you can't solder it, otherwise I'm sure they'd use that as well.

Don't be fooled if the strands are copper colored, that could be either varnish or a thin layer of electroplated copper. A magnet test will reveal the truth. If it can't be soldered, it's most probably Aluminum. I've seen that as well, but only on wires that use some sort of a clamp-on connector at both ends... basically, it was never meant to be soldered.

Yeah, it's kinda unclear, English is not my first language.

Uuu, that's a nice take, I like that.

Too bad it might not be a joke in the future.

 

TLDR;

It literally hurts me personally to see this happening. It's like a kick in the gut. I used to be proud about having had an involvement with the Linux kernel community in a previous life. This doesn't feel like the community I remember being part of.

 

Official statement regarding recent Greg' commit 6e90b675cf942e from Serge Semin

Hello Linux-kernel community,

I am sure you have already heard the news caused by the recent Greg' commit 6e90b675cf942e ("MAINTAINERS: Remove some entries due to various compliance requirements."). As you may have noticed the change concerned some of the Ru-related developers removal from the list of the official kernel maintainers, including me.

The community members rightly noted that the quite short commit log contained very vague terms with no explicit change justification. No matter how hard I tried to get more details about the reason, alas the senior maintainer I was discussing the matter with haven't given an explanation to what compliance requirements that was. I won't cite the exact emails text since it was a private messaging, but the key words are "sanctions", "sorry", "nothing I can do", "talk to your (company) lawyer"... I can't say for all the guys affected by the change, but my work for the community has been purely volunteer for more than a year now (and less than half of it had been payable before that). For that reason I have no any (company) lawyer to talk to, and honestly after the way the patch has been merged in I don't really want to now. Silently, behind everyone's back, bypassing the standard patch-review process, with no affected developers/subsystem notified - it's indeed the worse way to do what has been done. No gratitude, no credits to the developers for all these years of the devoted work for the community. No matter the reason of the situation but haven't we deserved more than that? Adding to the GREDITS file at least, no?..

I can't believe the kernel senior maintainers didn't consider that the patch wouldn't go unnoticed, and the situation might get out of control with unpredictable results for the community, if not straight away then in the middle or long term perspective. I am sure there have been plenty ways to solve the problem less harmfully, but they decided to take the easiest path. Alas what's done is done. A bifurcation point slightly initiated a year ago has just been fully implemented. The reason of the situation is obviously in the political ground which in this case surely shatters a basement the community has been built on in the first place. If so then God knows what might be next (who else might be sanctioned...), but the implemented move clearly sends a bad signal to the Linux community new comers, to the already working volunteers and hobbyists like me.

Thus even if it was still possible for me to send patches or perform some reviews, after what has been done my motivation to do that as a volunteer has simply vanished. (I might be doing a commercial upstreaming in future though). But before saying goodbye I'd like to express my gratitude to all the community members I have been lucky to work with during all these years.

 
 
 
 
 

I mean, I could understand if they used natural gas as fuel for vehicles (which I know they don't), but they only use it in households. It makes no sense ๐Ÿคท.

 

In case anyone needs it...
