Linux 6.6 LTS To Linux 7.1 Bechmarks: Performance Up 13% On AMD Threadripper Over Three Years
The Linux 7.1 kernel performance has been looking quite good on the various Intel/AMD systems I have tested over the past three weeks. Linux 7.1 does bring some solid improvements over Linux 7.0 prior in different workloads and haven’t encountered any worrisome regressions compared to the current Linux 7.0 stable kernel. For those wondering the longer-term picture, here are benchmarks of Linux 7.1 Git compared to recent Linux … ⌘ Read more

@tftp@tilde.town mentioning in here requires he whole shebang. With jenny, if using vim, there is a key combination:

Nick name completions: Allows you to use ^X ^U to turn verbatim nick names into full twtxt mentions. For example, typing “cath” and then pressing ^X ^U will turn “cath” into a full mention, like “@”. (This function will read the contents of your “~/.config/jenny/follow” file.)

[$] Version-controlled databases using Prolly trees
Modern database and filesystems make pervasive use of
B-trees, which are tree
structures optimized for storing sorted lists of keys and values on block
devices.
Dolt is an Apache 2.0-licensed project that makes clever use of a
variant of a B-tree to support efficient version control for an entire database.
The data structure it uses could well be of interest to other projects. ⌘ 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

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

[$] Famfs, FUSE, and BPF
The famfs filesystem first showed up on the\
mailing lists in early 2024; since then, it has been the topic of
regular discussions at the Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management and
BPF (LSFMM+BPF) Summit. It has also, as result of those discussions, been
through some significant changes since that initial posting. So it is not
surprising that a suggestion that it needed to be rewritten yet again was
not entirely well received. How much more … ⌘ 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

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
