Something to be proud of I’m sure!

tl;dr:

If, for whatever reason, progress on the torvalds/linux.git repository is affected, someone has to get things moving within 72 hours. This person could either be the one who organized the most recent Maintainer Summit or the chair of the Linux Foundation’s Technical Advisory Board (TAB).

They will be tasked with pulling together the people who were invited to the last summit, along with members of the TAB.

It gets more complicated after that, but essentially that’s it.

Oh, and I’m pretty sure there already is more than one top maintainers for the kernel code anyhow.

Depends on the beholder’s POV I guess; but yeah, even to a middle-aged fart like me 2018 is not “recent” anymore.

As I said in private elsewhere, I do not want any kernel development documentation to be some AI statement. We have enough people on both sides of the “sky is falling” and “it’s going to revolutionize software engineering”, I don’t want some kernel development docs to take either stance.

It’s why I strongly want this to be that “just a tool” statement.

And the AI slop issue is NOT going to be solved with documentation, and anybody who thinks it is either just naive, or wants to “make a statement”.

Neither of which is a good reason for documentation.

That’s on AMD hardware, mind.

How is wayland on (older) intel CPUs/GPUs nowadays?

If you have a suitable device, Sailfish OS is pretty much Okay, right out of the box. Well, you have to flash it first, but apart from that.

tbf I was being facetious. Something something ThinkPad

You think they’re pleasuring themselves at their desktops?

got a working gentoo install running

Hat off! I gave up way before that.

I used my N900 as a daily driver for a few months in 2020, but it was a constant pain and the www is right out anyhow. Never tried the Droid 4 (though I did order one, but then gave it away) and Maemo leste was not ready for prime in 2020 on any device, but I believe they’re much better now. I believe the Droid 4 was top tier back in 2012.

Having that keyboard is not that big of a priority for me; I’m not likely to spontaneously start hacking while out and about; I can tweak my phone from the comfort of a real keyboard and an ssh connection.

Maemo Leste is available for a similar keyboard phone, the Motorola droid 4, which is much more powerful than the N900 and has 4G iirc.

I’d like to disagree.

May I recommend a Nokia N900 - it’s already much more powerful, has a usable keyboard, and already runs Linux. But alternative OSs exist, if that’s your fancy.

But Delicate Arch is the point here.

That sounds about right.

OK i guess I didn’t realize those configs are mandatory.

Any way to turn on logging for the app itself?

YT-Feeds requires mpv and yt-dlp to be installed in order to function

Nice.

I don’t subscribe or use feeds on yt; can this be used to just search by keywords & watch?

edit:

Yes, this is possible by pressing Esc, then v.
Searches & video selection works.
However, no video is played. My mpv+yt-dlp setup works nicely otherwise.
I have no idea where to look for logs and error messages.
Additionally, there’s no documentation for configuration options, although the Readme states logging should be possible that way.

It was the first version in which the kernel was written in C.

Interesting. So does this tape contain the source code, or the compiled OS, or both?

The issues are hilarious. 👍
