A longtime Linux kernel developer is stepping back from code review, and he's blaming the flood of AI-generated patches.

Lorenzo Stoakes works on memory management at Arm, has contributed to the kernel since 2014, and literally wrote the book on it, "The Linux Memory Manager." Today he sent patches dropping himself as a reviewer for the kernel's memory management, core, misc and Rust areas.

His reason, in his own words: "Given the current throughput in the kernel resulting from AI-generated series, I unfortunately lack the bandwidth to generally be able to offer review except in those areas I maintain."

He split the patches so David Hildenbrand, Andrew Morton, and Alice Ryhl and Danilo Krummrich can each pick up the ones for their areas, and he added: "Apologies for doing this, but given the current trends I'd like to do something to make my inbox a little more manageable :)"

He's still a maintainer for the code he owns. This also isn't his first step back: in August he gave up co-maintaining transparent huge pages, saying "the sheer throughput and attention required has reached a point where it's become infeasible for me time-wise."

People are amusing.

Someone created an open source project that emails Sam Altman once a day to report the RAM he missed.

Predictable interface naming,” they said.

@IRCTCofficial @IRCTCofficial Do you have any responsibility to fix your mobile application?

@IRCTCofficial Your team ever notices something or not. The App is not working for the last 2 weeks & no fix is there for the same.

Thanks to NAT, I’ll live long enough to never need IPv6.

🚨 eMudhra is exiting the global SSL/TLS certificate business.

The decision comes just 5 days after a researcher exposed 8 easily guessable CA private keys.

Chrome and Firefox are withdrawing trust in its ECC root, leaving roughly 30,000 certificates needing replacement.

The State Bank of India (SBI) has confirmed a cyber incident involving the suspected exposure of 3,897 customer records on the dark web. In a filing with stock exchanges, the bank said a preliminary analysis of around 3.75 lakh records found online identified customer data containing personally identifiable information.

The exposed details reportedly include names, registered mobile numbers, dates of birth, gender, email IDs and residential addresses, along with branch identifiers and metadata linked to loan and lead records.

SBI said it received alerts about the suspected data exposure on October 16 from its threat intelligence service provider, the Defence Cyber Agency and CERT-In. The bank added that the incident had no material impact on its core operations, financial performance or business continuity.

@anurag_bhatia Even DigiCert has decreased now to 199 days. Everyone is decreasing certificate lifetime requiring much of automation tasks. But there are places where those hooks automation cannot be done.

@MVVNLHQ What has happened to Nadarganj Powerhouse ? The enquiry phone has been switched off and no supply since 3:30 AM. What is the current status?

@NivTheNitro @GoDaddy It's clear I can see 4xx responses from origin as they removed my hosting without any information.

[SAQUIB AKHTAR @SAQUIBLINUX]

@GoDaddy @GoDaddyHelp @GoDaddyPro My website https://t.co/F47u6QdIVw has been down for many hours, and your customer support is not reachable, nor is a chat agent available. The AI bot just does nonsense checks and fails.

[SAQUIB AKHTAR @SAQUIBLINUX]

@GoDaddy it's not a free trail plan. It was under shared hosting plan.

[SAQUIB AKHTAR @SAQUIBLINUX]

@GoDaddy Well, please don't make a joke of your hosting anymore. I am fed up with your nonsense AI chatbot support system. Where are the real human support guys?
My website is down & you are making a joke out of it. Who's that technical staff member who checked that it's UP? Show me logs.
