Austria's song reminds me of some known song, just can't get it in to my head. Eurodance vibes. I like it. Catchy.

WE WILL RAVE!

I have a huge amount of appreciation for the fact that Nautilus / can seamlessly pattern-select, batch-rename and move files both from its treeview and from search results… all with keyboard shortcuts! Extremely useful to clean up filenames.

Today, in someone else's messy folders, I was able to cleanly rename everything and eliminate at least 40 duplicates in a directory that contained over 180 files, most of which were in the wrong locations.

@nekohayo Curious about the "eliminate duplicates" part. Did you "just" pattern select files with similar name manually, or is there a hidden feature I don't know about?

Hardcoded security module suggestion - stop the stacking insanity

https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-%3Dwh%2B_xXpnHfUv%3DFwGWcce4XwqwKvtq7LcxK6WKmbf4eGGA@mail.gmail.com/

"'[…]this whole "nested LSM" stuff as a design goal just needs to be all rolled back, and the new design target is "one LSM, enabled statically at build time, without the need for indirect calls."

Because we're now in the situation where the security hooks are actually a source of not just horrible performance issues, but also actual insecurity[…]"'

@kernellogger I was today years old, that's 20 in Linux years, to find out that besides AppArmor on all my Debian servers and SELinux on my Fedora workstation there's a heap of other LSMs that basically do the same, could be replaced by each other, but not quite.

Wait… so does the Easter bunny have a cloaca?

@oatmeal It's Easter Platypus and their little cousins Easter Echnida, actually.

Human Resources (HR) is not your friend at all. They exist to protect companies' interests. Always remember that.

@nixCraft The name says it all. "Human Resources". HR sees employees like laptops or desks. Resources that can can used, depleted or replaced.

It makes me sad when I see people running into mainline regressions and spending time on bisecting them when a simple fix is already available and even spend more than a day in linux-next – like in this case (but it's just one example from today): https://lore.kernel.org/all/61579b26-88b5-428a-b818-5021e528471d@gmx.de/

I wish we would mainline such simple fixes a lot faster, as not doing so just annoys other people and makes them waste their time without much gain.

@a_lex_ander@mastodon.social avatar

@kernellogger Or, like even very small IT companies do, actually use a bugtracker to have a central place to look for bug reports and proposed patches. Ok, ok, I'll see myself out. 😉
