Uh oh people in my feed are talking about filesystems again.
Opinions on filesystems generally fall into 3 categories:
1. I lost data to a bug years ago therefore the filesystem is forever broken and unusable.
2. The filesystem doesn't have <feature> therefore it is broken and unusable.
3. Eh I guess it works? I never think about it.
(Opinion 3 being the ideal goal.)

If you had told me a few years ago that Microsoft was working on a Rust ext2 implementation for Linux, I wouldn't have believed you.

Nice to have good strolling weather for a change. The parks were busy so I think everyone had the same idea.

@npub1upk…tcwy I wouldn't have thought git revert needed to do a merge, just apply a reverse diff (similar to patch --reverse) and commit the change.

@npub1cm7…32y8 @npub1kn9…zhq5 I like the idea of lkml as an aggregation of the other lists but I don't think that alone would solve the problems that @npub1jfd…s8ga has put forward. Unless it wasn't distributed via email and only available via nntp.lore.kernel.org perhaps...

I decided to walk straight to the shops to get lunch at 13:00 instead of around the park, to get back in good time for my 14:00 meeting.
Of course the daylight savings mismatch had moved the meeting back to 13:00...

@npub1ulm…hweg I agree it's a huge problem here, I see it daily. I don't know if there are any quick and easy solutions though, it seems like a tricky human/cultural problem. Maybe an awareness campaign and a warning or posting guidelines added to the reply text box would help a little. After that maybe admins could add it to their server rules so that it's a reportable offense.
