GCC Git Lands Fix For Missing AVX-512 Optimizations On AMD Zen 6
Last week marked the release of GCC 16.1 as the first GCC 16 stable release. While that release introduces initial AMD Zen 6 “znver6” support well in advance of those next-generation AMD processors debuting, it’s not yet in perfect shape with just today two missing optimizations around AVX-512 having been merged… ⌘ Read more

VS Code Update Added Copilot As Default Co-Author To Git Commits
Longtime Slashdot reader UnknowingFool writes: On April 15, 2026, a Microsoft employee made a change to Visual Studio Code and pushed it within 8 hours without review, notification, or documentation. The change added “Co-authored-by: Copilot” by default to the end of commit messages in Git when Copilot was used in creating the code. However, the imple … ⌘ Read more

Mesa Developers Consider Branching Off Some Older GPU Drivers - Including AMD R300/R600
Mike Blumenkrantz of Valve’s Linux graphics team has ignited a discussion over potentially shifting some of Mesa’s older GPU drivers into a new legacy Git branch in order to better support the more modern OpenGL and Vulkan drivers without having to worry about breaking the legacy drivers and to allow for better cleaning of the Mesa codebase. Among the drivers that could be impacted are the ATI/AMD R300 and R600 drivers and man … ⌘ Read more

Hygon C86-4G CPU Support Added To The GCC 17 Compiler
Merged today to the GCC Git compiler codebase, which will be for GCC 17 rather than the imminent GCC 16.1 stable release, is adding support for the Chinese-manufactured Hygon C86-4G-M4 / C86-4G-M6 / C86-4G-M7 series x86_64 processors… ⌘ Read more

The Linux Kernel Tree About To Hit 40 Million Lines, AMD Driver Above 6 Million Lines
Ahead of the Linux 7.1-rc1 kernel release due out later today for closing the Linux 7.1 merge window, I was curious if all the code removals would lead to a negative change in line count over Linux 7.0. The removals were not enough and Linux 7.1 Git is fast approaching 40 million lines… ⌘ Read more

Linux 7.1 Is Performing Well Overall In Early Benchmarks
With the Linux 7.1 merge window winding down ahead of the planned Linux 7.1-rc1 release on Sunday, I have begun testing out the Linux 7.1 Git state on various systems in my lab. So far Linux 7.1 appears to be looking good in the performance department with seeing a number of performance improvements in different areas but also a few possible regressions. ⌘ Read more

Linux Ham Radio KISS Serial Driver Being Modernized In 2026
Here’s something that wasn’t on my bingo card for this year of the “MKISS” driver for ham radio being modernized in 2026 as opposed to just being dropped. The MKISS code hasn’t seen much driver activity since the original Git import of the Linux kernel more than twenty years ago… ⌘ Read more

Hey all my dear twtxters! Again, please have a look at https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/pulls/28 so that we can button the Twt Hash v2 Extension up soon. Love to get some feedback, comments, questions, doubts, critiques, improvements, etc.

Dell Upstreams Firmware For The XPS Snapdragon X Elite Laptop
When it comes to using Qualcomm Snapdragon X1 Elite laptops on Linux, one of the big challenges have involved the need to extract the necessary firmware from the Windows 11 partition due to most vendors not providing the firmware in an easily redistributable and public form. The one exception has been the Lenovo ThinkPad with X1 Elite having upstream firmware in linux-firmware.git while now the Dell XPS model has joined the party too… ⌘ Read more

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com hey, link to repository on https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-twtkpr is broken. It points to https://git.itsericwoodward.com/eric/express-twtkp. Looking forward to see more documentation!

For the record, the third thing is to activate agent forwarding. In ~/.ssh/config:

Host git.mills.io
ForwardAgent yes

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Changing the user name helped, it now says Authenticated to git.mills.io ([199.247.16.95]:2222) using "publickey". ssh-add ... had no effect (even after ssh-add -D).

Here’s a debug log, @prologic@twtxt.net, perhaps you could take a look at this 🙏: https://movq.de/v/116c5f514b/clone2.txt

(Might be a silly mistake on my part. Wrong remote path or something?)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net You need a running SSH agent in order to make it through the deep layers of the Mills infrastructure: After ssh-add, git pull always works for me.

And contrary to what the UI shows, the username git always has to be replaced with your own one.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de just use https instead:

git clone https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev.git

Anyone else having trouble pulling from git.mills.io? 🤔

$ g clone ssh://git@git.mills.io:2222/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev.git
Cloning into 'twtxt.dev'...
git@git.mills.io: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

The key verification function on https://git.mills.io/user/settings/keys says I’m using the correct key.

This also looks good:

$ GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -v" g clone ssh://git@git.mills.io:2222/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev.git
...
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey
debug1: Offering public key: /home/user/.ssh/keys/key-millsio ED25519 SHA256:nVNT... explicit
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey
debug1: No more authentication methods to try.
git@git.mills.io: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Does it work for you, @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @prologic@twtxt.net?

Let’s finalize https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/pulls/28/.

Putting obstacles in their way: To make scraping my code slightly less trivial, the repos on my website now only show the newest 15 commits, e.g.: https://movq.de/git/katriawm/log.html

Qualcomm QUPv3 Firmware Upstreamed For Snapdragon X1 Elite Linux Users
One of the headaches right now when dealing with the Snapdragon X Elite on Linux is that for a majority of the devices you need to fetch firmware files from the Windows 11 on ARM partition as the necessary firmware bits for Linux use aren’t upstreamed to linux-firmware.git. That has gradually improved over time from the qcom-firmware-extract making the process easier to more firmware bits eventually being added to linux-firmware.git… ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net (While browsing through that, I noticed that https://mu-lang.dev/ itself doesn’t really mention the source code repo, does it? 🤔 Like, the quickstart guide begins with “Build the host: go build ./cmd/mu”, but where’s the git clone … command? 😅)

I’m not really sure what the goal is. 🤔 Do you want to get pull requests for the docs? Or bug reports for mu itself? 🤔

Revisiting The Linux 6.19 Performance With “NEXT_BUDDY” Now Disabled
Back at the start of the Linux 6.19 kernel cycle I ran benchmarks showing some scheduler performance regressions with the new kernel. Fortunately, two weeks out from the Linux 6.19 stable release, merged this weekend was disabling the scheduler’s NEXT_BUDDY feature due to performance regressions. Here are some fresh benchmarks looking at the latest Linux 6.19 Git state with/without NEXT_BUDDY and comparing it to Linux 6.18 stable for reference. ⌘ Read more
