I will show you mine if you show me yours.

Not that number of commits has anything to do with calling out brigading which you still seem to be committed to.

Wish granted, the chip erases your memories of games you’ve played every single time you sleep, along with all your other memories.

Oh I expect absolute crickets from all the people who waded into this trashing Hellwig.

Opposition to it is reactionary, not well-grounded in technical merits; most of Linux is not well-proven to be correct, only believed to be correct under typical operating conditions as estimated by several dozen experienced programmers

Try expanding that to ‘overwhelmingly correct as assessed by hundreds of thousands of programmers on tens of millions of systems globally under diverse conditions at a low end ballpark.’

Martin is not a maintainer of the Kernel/DMA which is why Hellwig clearly states he doesn’t want to add another maintainer when rejecting Martin’s offer to be a maintainer of this proposed code.

This is very clear if you read the email. If you don’t like the formatting go read the full email chain yourself, you will know where to find it if you’re so familiar with ‘kernel social dynamics’.

So you think Hellwig doesn’t understand what is and isn’t intended to go into the kernel/dma that dma maintainers would then be responsible for?

You don’t seem to be familiar with either the full conversation the developers had (its all available) or you don’t understand how the Linux project is structured and maintained.

From the email chain:

Since there hasn’t been a reply so far, I assume that we’re good with maintaining the DMA Rust abstractions separately.

No, I’m not. This was an explicit:

And I also do not want another maintainer. If you want to make Linux impossible to maintain due to a cross-language codebase do that in your driver so that you have to do it instead of spreading this cancer to core subsystems. (where this cancer explicitly is a cross-languagecodebase and not rust itself, just to escape the flameware brigade).

Hellwig has some excellent points and people are up in arms solely because he’s not giving the green light for the shiny new toy.

Keep the wrappers in your code instead of making life painful for others

This is a perfectly valid approach, anyone claiming he’s resistant for no reason has never tried maintaining a multi language code base.

If you want to use something that’s not C, be that assembly or Rust, you write to C interfaces and deal with the impedance mismatch yourself as far as I’m concerned.

Again an entirely reasonable approach. There is precedence for this approach in the kernel/dma and I see no reason to change this now, unless a full kernel/dma rewrite to Rust were to occur.

The US hasn’t won a war in a long time, my bet is on Canada by a landslide.

FYI a vasectomy isn’t a 100% guarantee against getting a woman pregnant as it can sometimes heal, even years after.

A DNA test should still have been ordered in that circumstance.

Like I said, people doing self hosting, they often open up ports for those services and management ports.

Some routers have backdoors built in, such as the Fortinet NGFW backdoor, that can also be exploited.

I work in this industry and believe me the risk is real, no vpns aren’t a silver bullet, but there are a few good providers out there that can help mitigate some risks of using P2P for more than piracy.

That depends on whether they are port blocking as I said.

If there was a vulnerability it would be exploited in the matter of a few minutes.

Around 10 minutes for an unpatched XP box with no firewall.

Much longer for obscure vulnerabilities in routers or more difficult to exploit vulns in hosted software.

It is also possible for vulnerabilities in peertube itself to exist, which will be an issue regardless of VPN use.

I could scan your network for vulnerabilities.

I could anyway but knowing a target used a service like peertube increases the odds of unpatched hardware or self hosted services in my experience.

If you’re using an older router you probably have a problem due to unpatched vulnerabilities.

If you self host you might have a problem, as many package maintainers and developers lag a bit behind security patches.

A good VPN provider will also block unusual ports.

It precisely meant at least 10 hours

Not according to the paper the article was (loosely) based on.

The average was 4.84 h/day and the maximum was 10.1

You would know that if you had read the article and fact checked it against the source.

This paper uses data from the world’s 5th-largest economy to show no blackouts occurred when wind-water-solar electricity supply exceeded 100 % of demand on California’s main grid for a record 98 of 116 days from late winter to early summer, 2024, for an average (maximum) of 4.84 (10.1) hours/day.

Now that you have all the facts, if you would stay on topic and render judgement of PTB/YDI that would be great.

LW may block certain VPNs but I can confirm that I am able to access LW from at least one well known VPN provider.

This may also be due to them using Cloudflare.

I guess weasel is a dirty word when keeping company with snakes ;)

I’m accusing the article of using weasel words to misrepresent the data, which after having a chance to read the study I can confirm beyond a doubt.

This paper uses data from the world’s 5th-largest economy to show no blackouts occurred when wind-water-solar electricity supply exceeded 100 % of demand on California’s main grid for a record 98 of 116 days from late winter to early summer, 2024, for an average (maximum) of 4.84 (10.1) hours/day.

So an average of 4.84 hours/day of 100% power requirements were met by renewables. That is not the story the author is telling.

Going with the maximum and representing that as occurring for 98/116 days as the author did is straight up misleading for anyone not paying attention to those weasel words.

It would have taken the author zero effort to include the average. It’s right there in the source paper.

Woops I somehow replied to the wrong comment earlier!

Unfortunately while communities are small and content is slow mods are somewhat forced to be the primary posters in their communities, but clearly some people just aren’t mature enough, and here we are in YPTB!

Funnily enough I had a disagreement recently with a mod of YPTB in that same comment section but their response was somewhat measured, though I still disagree with them, so didn’t earn a post here.

I also thought your sarcasm was a little hard to detect

Hmm maybe I was a bit harsh in my initial response, but prior to the other posters edit his reply was also fairly strong.

The comment about white people left a bad taste in my mouth as well.

Glad I’m not the only one.

I really appreciate you providing numbers on this, I was hesitant to set upper and lower bounds and get called out for making assumptions (which it isn’t!).

As anyone can see from your comment the ambiguity in the articles claims are extremely unhelpful.

All this only makes being banned for ‘arguing against facts’ even sadder.
