yeah, basically there's a rule:

only bugfixes after -rc1
features wait for merge window

and Kent notoriously submits features after -rc2 or even later in the release cycle

@simon_m @quad
it has been

but also

Linus has threatened to remove bcachefs from mainline on at least 2 occasions

@BrodieOnLinux is this the same person that claimed responsibility for DDoSng All Things Linux?

Does anyone know what's the cheapest way to obtain the text of the EN IEC 62040 standard?

Or maybe some summary / educational material based on it?

I'm not planning to make a UPS or anything, just curious what's the contract between a UPS and the grid it's connected to.

@cjd omg this is beautiful

@cjd it has a bit of maxwell's deamon vibes

what the hell? Does TWRP's encryption work?

I think some people just don't know the difference between

"I don't know how to do it safely so I'd be afraid to touch it"
(which is fine)

and

"I don't know how to do it safely, therefore you shouldn't touch it"
(which is obnoxious)

@ayo eh, idk, I'm seriously considering keeping a personal patchset on top of mesa...

@ayo like, IME it's fun to fix a bug in someone else's software that you use, the hard part is getting the fix upstreamed

@lanodan @domi
you've heard of traffic jam being called traffic, now prepare for grammar errors being called grammar?

@cjd this is weird:

One of the best things for me about being at a university was being able to forget that stupid people exist.

But there was a lot of ML hype at the uni.
2/3 of my year's BSc theses were about ML.

But then I don't think those students were as high on the hypium as C*Os are these days...

@BrodieOnLinux fortunately we can still joke about Aussie Ping, because y'all are so far away from everything :P

@cjd NSA's one thing, but random employee at the online store I bought the drive at?

Samsung: 5 year warranty for SSDs!

Also Samsung: to make a warranty claim call this number... unless it's for an SSD, then contact the store you bought the SSD at

How am I supposed to remember after 5 years which store I bought the SSD at?

also, how do you even RMA disks?

Do you ATA SECURITY ERASE before sending them?

Do you just overwrite LUKS headers on the partitions that were encrypted, and then manually delete any sensitive data from the unencrypted ones? Like, by mounting a filesystem RW on a dying drive?

@gigabecquerel @FabLabMuc do you know how that compares to a carbon fiber + resin composite that was cut and/or sanded down after hardening?

@cjd @gigabecquerel @FabLabMuc right, but that requires a fiber-layup-and-resin-soaking skill in addition to the 3D printing skill. Which it makes sense to invest in if you're making model aircraft or rockets, but I see how someone who's mostly into 3D-printing and just needs one part that's a bit stronger would be tempted to use CF-containing filament
