A new AUTOSEL release
AUTOSEL is a tool that is used to find kernel patches that should be
considered for backporting into the stable releases. Sasha Levin has announced a new and completely
rewritten version of AUTOSEL for those who would like to play with it.
Unlike the previous version that relied on word statistics and
older neural network techniques, AUTOSEL leverages modern large
language models and embedding technology to provide significantly

Z for UTC +00:00- is that allowed in your specs?
Regarding url = I would suggest to only allow one and the maybe add url_old = or url_alt = !?
I'm still not a fan of a DM feature, even thou it helps that i have now been split out into a separate feed file. Instead if would suggest a contact = field for where people can put an email or other id/link for an established chat protocol like signal or matrix.

10 Things Humans Are Weirdly Bad at Predicting
Humans like to think of themselves as rational, forward-looking creatures. But when it comes to forecasting the futureâeven our ownâweâre often laughably wrong. From personal choices to global crises, our brains are wired with cognitive shortcuts and emotional biases that lead us to consistently underestimate, overestimate, or misjudge reality. Sometimes, the error is small. Other [âŚ]

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Just like Fridayâs right? đ
@ About the URL, since it no longer used for hashing there might be no need to change it. I agree that we keep all the parts that already are out there for the most parts. Instead of a contact field you could also just use links like: link = Email mailto:user@example.dk or link = Signal https://signal.me/sthF4raI5Lg_ybpJwB1sOptDla4oU7p[...]
@sorenpeter@darch.dk Yes, there are interesting things that can be incorporated to see how they work.
The issue of allowing the use of Z for UTC is interesting. I think I should add a brief explanation.
The url issue is for a debate :D . Maybe an issue could be opened. My opinion is that it is necessary to leave it as it is right now because otherwise the thread system, or replies, may have problems (404s). Itâs all a matter of discussion.
I like your idea of contact. I will add it.
Thanks to you for your feedback!!!
@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Thanks for consolidating a lot of good ideas. Especially how you have deiced to just extend the mention syntax for location-based treads. This might even be backward compatible with older (pre-yarn) clients.
What about using Z for UTC +00:00- is that allowed in your specs?

10 Critical Bottlenecks in Modern Civilization Posing a Major Risk
We like to think modern civilization is robust, backed by endless redundancy.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz @quark@ferengi.one In 2014 one person created protocol ii. Later it forked in IDEC. Why i said this? Because itâs simple âfederatedâ forum-like protocol where from your station fetch another every 5-10 minutes. Stations has topic-based channels like idec.talks, linux.16, haiku.os, zx.spectrum. In short itâs FIDO but.. more modern? Documentation: https://github.com/idec-net/new-docs (mostly Russian, but you can use translator, also protocol already translated to english)
@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt nah, Iâm fine without a web ui. But I like what the dev did with the 2009 facebook/VK look, it kind of feels notsalgic. (the tld is a .me not a .com if anyone else wants to take a look atit)

So, the âAIâ bots have reached my website. Looks like theyâre just slowly crawling everything at the moment â no DDoS-like attack yet. I wonder if that has something to do with my website being 100% static HTML. There are no GET parameters they can tweak and, at the end of the day, thereâs not that much data on my server anyway ⌠And maybe they have no idea what stagit is, so it doesnât trigger âstandard behaviorâ, like âthis is a Gitea instance, letâs crawl this like crazy!â?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de mine too, mine too! Imagine my frustration being married to someone who prefers the heat. Itâs like a polar bear married to a desert rat. LOL.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de âtopic-based forums/groupsâ, you mean what USENET used to be, and the ânicheâ that Reddit is fulfilling these days? :-D I get it, I agree. I think I find twtxt more fulfilling than anything else because of its small size. I feel like I truly know everyone (even if that might not be true), and find myself âat homeâ. The bigger the place, the shyest I become, the less enticing it is.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de this is so real⌠i think we need to bring back topic focused groups but like with a little off topic side of things just in case people wanna go off topic. so the optionâs there but the intent is the topic! microblogging isnât best for this yeah. i think this is part of why IRC still goes strong for many tech people
@bender@twtxt.net Itâs like having good manners at the table. Use forks and knives. ;-)
Confession:
Iâve never found microblogging like twtxt or the Fediverse or any other âmodernâ social media to be truly fulfilling/satisfying.
The reason is that it is focused so much on people. You follow this or that person, everybody spends time making a nice profile page, the posts are all very âego-centricâ. Seriously, it feels like everybody is on an ego-trip all the time (this is much worse on the Fediverse, not so much here on twtxt).
I miss the days of topic-based forums/groups. A Linux forum here, a forum about programming there, another one about a certain game. Stuff like that. That was really great â and it didnât even suffer from the need to federate.
Sadly, most of these forums are dead now. Especially the nerds spend a lot of time on the Fediverse now and have abandoned forums almost completely.
On Mastodon, you can follow hashtags, which somewhat emulates a topic-based experience. But itâs not that great and the protocol isnât meant to be used that way (just read the snac2 docs on this issue). And the concept of âlikesâ has eliminated lots of the actual user interaction. âšď¸

@movq@www.uninformativ.de When I reply to a message, I typically already mention the feed. Just like in this very message. I believe this mechanism should work for most replies. But there are of course the odd responses where I do not mention the original feed, but rather some other feed(s) instead to which I actually want to reply. Maybe âforkingâ, as prologic calls it, would be the better option there.
@prologic@twtxt.net hahahahaha! No, no, no. Every word has its use. But for things like these I like certain reactions. For example, I would have given a âthumbs downâ to the original twtxt, and done with it. Now, composing a reply, to simply say âno, thank you.â, that I donât like. It seems a waste of space, and it doesnât âlook goodâ. I like to see at least 140 characters! Ha!

that said, and reading to @sorenpeter@darch.dk and @andros@twtxt.andros.dev I have new thoughts. I assume that this wonât change anyoneâs opinions or priorities, so it makes no harm sharing them.
Itâs always tempting to use something that already exists (like X, Masto, Bsky, etc.) rather that building anything through effort and disagreement until reaching to something useful and valuable together. A âsocial serviceâ is only useful if people is using it.
Iâll add that I havenât lost interest on the âhackyâ part of twtxt about developing tools, protocols, and extensions as a community. Itâs the appealing part! Itâs a nice hobby to have, shared with random people across the world.
But this is not the right way for me, and makes me feel that Iâm unwelcome to propose something different (after watching replies to my previous twt). Feels like âIf you donât agree, you are free to leave, weâll miss you.â Naah, not cool. Iâve lived that many times before, and nowadays I donât have enough spare time and energy for a hobby like that.
Letâs see what happens next with the micro-community!
@prologic@twtxt.net Not sure Iâd attach any if clauses to this. My point is: Every time I see a hash, Iâd like to have a hint as to where to find the corresponding twt.
How LWN is faring in 2025
Just over six years ago, The Economist described the US economy as â the envy of the\â¨worldâ. That headline would be unlikely to appear now. The economic
boom referenced in that article feels like a distant memory, markets are
falling, and uncertainty is at an all-time high. Like everybody else, LWN

spheres; we expect to get through this period, but there will be some

@movq@www.uninformativ.de If weâre focusing on solving the âmissing rootsâ problems. I would start to think about âclient recommendationsâ. The first recommendation would be:

This way itâs a hint to fetching clients that follow B, but not A (in the case of no mentions) that the Subject/Root might (very likely) is in the feed url.

[$] Cache awareness for the CPU scheduler
The kernelâs CPU scheduler has to balance a wide range of objectives. The
tasks in the system must be scheduled fairly, with latency for any given
task kept within bounds. All of the CPUs in the system should be kept busy
if there is enough work to do, but unneeded CPUs should be shut down to
reduce power consumption. A task should also run on the CPU that is most
likely to have cached the memory that task is using. [This patch\â¨series](https://lwn.net/ml/all/cover.1745199017.git.yu.c.chen@in ⌠â Read more

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Agreed, finding the right motivation can be tricky. You sometimes have to torture yourself in order to later then realize, yeah, that was actually totally worth it. Itâs often hard.
I think if you find a project or goal in general that these kids want to achieve, that is the best and maybe only choice with a good chance of positive outcome. I donât know, like building a price scraper, a weather station or whatever. Yeah, these are already too advanced if they never programmed, but you get the idea. If they have something they want to build for themselves for their private life, that can be a great motivator Iâve experienced. Or you could assign âem the task to build their own twtxt client if they donât have any own suitable ideas. :-)
Showing them that you do a lot of your daily work in the shell can maybe also help to get them interested in text-based boring stuff. Or at least break the ice. Lead by example. The more I think about it, the more I believe this to be very important. Thatâs how I still learn and improve from my favorite workmate today in general. Which Iâm very thankful of.
Weâre all old farts. When we started, there werenât a lot of options. But today? Iâd be completely overwhelmed, I think.
Hence, Iâd recommend to start programming with a console program. As for the language, not sure. But Python is probably a good choice
Thatâs what I usually do (when we have young people at work who never really programmed before), but it doesnât really âhitâ them. Theyâve seen so much, crazy graphics, web pages, itâs all fancy. Just some text output is utterly boring these days. âšď¸ And thatâs my problem: I have no idea how I could possibly spark some interest in things like pointers or something âlow-levelâ like that. And I truly believe that you need to understand things like pointers in order to program, in general.

Also, the devil in me thinks itâs funny to swap out the repo in question for something entirely different. :-D
@prologic@twtxt.net Exactly, @bender@twtxt.net! :-D This is at the entrance of a veggie farm (11 & 12) where there are free-ranging kids playing on the road, so people should slow down when driving there to buy some supplies. I also wondered why the sign says âHalt!â instead of âLangsam fahren!â (Drive slowly!) or something like that. On second thought, maybe to actually park there on the street right at the property line.
I actually never walked on that road before and discovered that this was a dead end. Thereâs usually at the very least a foot path on which to continue when passing a farm. Not this time, though. I didnât want to stamp down the high grass to cut across country, so I had to walk back maybe 150 meters. Not too bad.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I started with Delphi in school, the book (that we never ever used even once and I also never looked at) taught Pascal. The UI part felt easy at first but prevented me from understanding fundamental stuff like procedures or functions or even begin and end blocks for ifs or loops. For example I always thought that I needed to have a button somewhere, even if hidden. That gave me a handler procedure where I could put code and somehow call it. Two or three years later, a new mate from the parallel class finally told me that this wasnât necessary and how to do thing better.
You know all too well that back in the day there was not a whole lot of information out there. And the bits that did exist were well hidden. At least from me. Eventually discovering planet-quellcodes.de (I donât remember if that was the original forum or if that got split off from some other board) via my best schoolmate was like finding the Amber Room. Yeah, reading the ITG book would have been a very good idea for sure. :-)
In hindsight, a console program without the UI overhead might have been better. At least for the very start. Much less things to worry about or get lost.
Hence, Iâd recommend to start programming with a console program. As for the language, not sure. But Python is probably a good choice, it doesnât require a lot of surrounding boilerplate like, say Java or Go. It also does exceptionally well in the principle of least surprise.
I went on a small hike, just 12-13km this time. The weather was great, blue sky, sunny 18°C, but with the wind it felt colder. Leaves and other green stuff is exploding like crazy. It looks super beautiful right now.
I came across an unfortunately dead salamander on the forest road, some fenced in deer, heaps of sheep, some unmagnetic cows (some were aligned very roughly north-south, but mainly with the axis of the best view I believe), a maybeetle and finally an awesome sunset. Not too shabby! The sheep were mehing all the time, that was really lovely to hear. And the crickets were already active, too. Didnât expect them to hear yet.

Message
ââ´Reply 1
â ââ´Subreply
ââ´Reply 2
and âReply 2â was selected, pressing A to reply to the parent should have picked âMessageâ. However, a reply to âReply 2â was composed instead. The reason was a precausiously introduced safety guard to abort the parent search which stopped at âSubreplyâ, because its subject didnât match âReply 2ââs. It was originally intended to abort on a completely different message conversation root. Just in case. Turns out that this thoght was flawed.
