I was debugging a slow router & asked Claudio and it's casually like, "oh, that's just a bug in Linux: they wrote = instead of |= in one of the cases, let's work around it..." And I'm like, "whoa, that's trashy. Can't we upstream a fix?" It's like: "yeah, sure" Now I have to learn that process 😅

is it right? who knows! maybe a netdev person will know. but Claudio is convincingly confident as always

(any netdev people on Bluesky?)

I think most of them ended up in Masterdon communities.

Yeah, that makes sense. Maybe I can nerdsnipe somebody there to avoid learning the Linux contribution process 😅

For the kernel, it's via get: git.kernel.org More info here: www.kernel.org/doc/html/lat...

Yeah but there's all this email stuff I have to do and setup Gmail SMTP server app passwords to send emails with git patches in just the right way, etc. It's very 90s quaint.

Well seeing where GH is headed I think that I'll take the current process and not modernize 😅
