The blatherings of a linux kernel driver monkey.

@cyber_hw I haven't worked for suse in over 11 years :)

@gnujaos Kernel bug reporting by twitter is _not_ going to really help, sorry, please send email. But note that people are already working on this...

[Greg K-H @gregkh]

@nerdearla It was a fun talk, thanks for having me!

3/ There as usual was not even a hint in the release announcement that these new #Linux #kernel releases were fixing any vulnerabilities, just the standard "All users of the […] series must upgrade." advice.

If that's news to you, you might want to read https://t.co/7XhqQWoahi

@tivrfoa All of my scripts are online.

[Greg K-H @gregkh]

In which I write a teeny-tiny bit of Go code to make the bash scripts I use for kernel maintenance work a small bit prettier...

Gum 0.7.0 is out! Now, you can align spinners on either side of your title with the newly introduced --align flag, thanks to @gregkh!

@johnregehr This is really cool, great work by the authors!

[Greg K-H @gregkh]

"Let's put the tool in the kernel!" Seriously, this is cool stuff, great work, and someone needs to forward port KML to a newer release, 4.0 is just too old for new research...

@techdadteddy It's still being published? That book is anything but "fresh", it's quite dated by now :)

[Greg K-H @gregkh]

@mueslix I am, I love it, thanks for making it!

Reminder for #Linux developers:

Use a "Cc: stable@..." tag in changes you want to see backported to stable and longterm #kernel series, as a "Fixes" tag is not enough (but nevertheless might do the trick).

For details see this #lkml msg from @gregkh: https://t.co/LoIg5OkO1n

@cpatrick2008 @FLOSSWeekly @dsearls @jp_bennett @TWiT sure, invite me :)

@spacenick88 @fagiolinux @fatherlinux @cfkschaller It's as if no one has noticed that Android kernels have a stable internal ABI for drivers, _AND_ still take all upstream LTS releases for the past few years.

Stable abi is not valid excuse to not take all upstream updates.

{sigh}

@LaF0rge nvme attached through a USB 3 adapter is a very fast storage solution for these types of systems where the flash will not be worn out. Or heck, just use a normal ssd in a USB enclosure, that should be better than using SD.

My talk a few weeks ago about Trust and the Linux Kernel (going into stuff about the https://t.co/vg2TSd7bgf incident)

As it's a rainy Sunday in lots of Europe today, why not fill out a developer survey to pass the time:

Yes, I know you all get at least one request a week for this, but hey, what's one more, and this one is sponsored by a lot of good .eu groups.

[Greg K-H @gregkh]

@Kausalitaet @spendergrsec @kees_cook Then perhaps switch distros? Lots of other ones keep up with the stable releases quite well.

Upstream has loads of automated regression testing, why do you think we do not?

[Greg K-H @gregkh]

@Kausalitaet @spendergrsec @kees_cook If I'm technically correct, then just update each week to the latest stable release and all will be fine, no need to worry about mislabeling anything.

[Greg K-H @gregkh]

@embeddedgus Do people need a monthly reminder of this? :)

[Greg K-H @gregkh]

This box showed up today! Need to "borrow" a monitor from my son's system and get it set up this weekend!
