Polymaths server seems to be having some minor problems.
Amin is asleep.

""Within a week, preferably before the next rc.""

That's about the time in which Linus wants #Linux #kernel regression fixed users reported. Through a revert if necessary, ""so that maintainers don't get stressed out over having a pending problem report that people keep pestering them about.""

"Refactor" number eight? I don't know, I'm losing count. At this point my fingers hurt so much it's hard to type. Everything seems to fit, but I haven't tried to hook anything up yet. More than likely I'm going to have to rebuild a few more times to get the cables plugged in. #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

Just got "home" from viewing a potential new home and it was truly amazing 🤤

2 floors with 3 bedrooms and a small guarden with a nice fence for the cats! There is even a cat door installed to the garden already

Even some trees are visible from inside the home!

I made mom the promise if we get the home I'll celebrate my birthday this year for the first in a long time, she loves that

1 Feb we will hear more
