Best explanation I found is here: https://lore.kernel.org/stable/CAFsF8vL4CGFzWMb38_XviiEgxoKX... A patch was backported to the 6.0 branch from the main branch, but they forgot a line of code, leading to a buggy behavi

Kernel state does not survive reboots afaik. That would need help from userland, which is not involved in the early boot process. You could I guess change kernel init parameters and save that in your boot loader, but that is very hackish.

Hardware support. I have no idea why the hardware/software industry all focused on the linux kernel as the common base for so many hardware support. The amount of chips supported in the linux kernel is mind boggling. I worked with Free

I think you are on the right track but may be over estimating the "average" internet user capabilities? I had to migrate a couple of projects from awful, big ridden, wysiwyg editors to markdown and it's a huge challenge. Many

Podman initially was daemon less, but docker-compose is a python script that interacts with dockerd directly through its rest API, not by invoking docker cli commands. So even though podman offers a compatible cli interface, if was no help

My first encounter with snaps was launching gcalc, the basic built-in calculator app. At some point after an update, launching that app would take multiple seconds. How could the most basic gtk app be so slow to launch. Investigating furthe

That's very harsh. If it were a bunch of cobbled together perl and bash scripts I could understand poopooing the software stack, but java for enterprise accounting software is a super common stack and arguably one of the most suitable

The last release number was 5.19. Linux 6.0 could have been versioned as 5.20 but Linus chose 6.0 out of thin air. Nothing more nothing less.

Which makes 2000% sense. Why would any tenant supplied data affect anything whatsoever? As a tenant, unless you are clashing with another resource under your own name, I don't see the point of failing. aws S3 would be an exception, whe

Sounds interesting but can you elaborate on the social benefits, challenges and potential downfalls of such an approach?

Since it is browser based (webrtc), the implementation is mostly browser based. You can expect the same audio/video as you get with google meet or teams, which are using the same tech. One or one calls should be using direct peer to pe

It's not only about releasing the "driver". It's committing the time and resources to get it in a good enough shape to at the very least be submitted upstream. Embedded device drivers are often developed by cutting a lot

I've been there. I can relate to everything you said! The DHCP standard was such a waste of time. Ignore it completely, no client support whatsoever. Intercepting all plain HTTP traffic (just drop https) and responding with a 30x redir

Of course. Its just that in the general mindset, an hypothetical average dev who needs to call your API won't be surprised to receive a 404 for a missing resource. I might be wrong of course. Either way, a proper api doc/spec shou

My wild guess would be that they used chat rooms as a sort of access control. If you are in the room with the bot, you can issue commands. They could have forgotten that you can also just add the bot to another room. Major face palm, but pl

Updating dependencies can be a major change. It can also be a security fix. Marking it as a simple chore sounds like the impact has not been fully analyzed. I understand the practice and if done meticulously by all contributors, it should a

Splitting app binaries that can be easily redownloaded from configs and user data makes a lot of sense. Also caches that can be deleted and rebuilt.

Thanks for sharing, did not know this project existed. I am maintaining a small embedded linux project myself and having a reproducible build as a feature is a long standing goal. The more tooling and awareness there is, the better.
