[$] Providing 64KB base pages with 4KB kernels, two different ways
Some CPU architectures are able to run with a number of different base-page
sizes; using a larger size can often result in better performance at the
cost of increased memory use. Other architectures are more limited. At
the 2026 Linux\
Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, two sessions in
the memory-management track explored options for letting processes run with
64KB page sizes when the underlying kern … ⌘ Read more

[$] A new era for memory-management maintainership
On April 21, Andrew Morton let\
it be known that he intends to begin stepping away from the
maintainership of kernel’s memory-management subsystem — a responsibility
he has carried since before memory management was even seen as its own
subsystem. At the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and
BPF Summit, one of the first sessions in the memory-management track was
devoted to how the … ⌘ Read more

In-reply-to » They are all very nice @lyse! You truly need some sort of easy to navigate website with them all, categorised, and such… A robot can dream, right? :-)

¡Muchas gracias @bender@twtxt.net! I was also thinking about categorizing them a few years ago. But it’s so much work. I would have to tag every photo on its own. My use case goes more towards “give me all albums with squirrels”, though. Let’s see. I would need some tooling for easy tagging first. And then, the question is, which categories do I want to have to begin with?

In-reply-to » @lyse Yes, and that’s why I’m 100% convinced that we’ll see a massive brain drain in a couple of years. This will affect young people even more, because they don’t have all the “old” knowledge to fall back on.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I couldn’t agree more! I also have the feeling that it causes more people to just accept “it’s a software problem, there’s nothing that can be done about it”. Which is very frightning to me.

Up until now, I was successful in refusing to actively use that crap. I had to do one mandatory AI training, but even our hippest AI enthusiasts found it absolutely terrible. Probably also nailed together by the same rubbish they want us to now use everyday as much as possible.

Code reviews are the part that I have to deal with most. And I believe that the code quality is degrading.

Let’s hope the bubble bursts sooner than later. It will definitely burst at some point. That’s for sure.
