Linus still did neither remove bcachefs from #Linux #kernel nor pulled the updates for 6.17 Kent submitted.

The latter meanwhile wrote a few mails to #LKML which in diplomatic phrases might be called "not really helpful", like this one https://lore.kernel.org/all/3ik3h6hfm4v2y3rtpjshk5y4wlm5n366overw2lp72qk5izizw@k6vxp22uwnwa/

It resulted in a few good replies from respected developers that are worth a read if you are followed the topic, among them from Josef Bacik (https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250809192156.GA1411279@fedora/ ), Matthew Wilcox (https://lore.kernel.org/all/aJfTPliez_WkwOF3@casper.infradead.org/ ), Sasha Levin (https://lore.kernel.org/all/aJgaiFS3aAEEd78W@lappy/ ) and Theodore Ts'o (https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250810022436.GA966107@mit.edu/ & https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250810055955.GA984814@mit.edu/).

The Madness behind the Linux Source Code Comments

Does anyone have a good way to read kernel mailing list threads on mobile (Android)?

K-9/Thunerbird are better than Gmail at threading and can use fixed font size but it's often not good enough. Lore is an awesome resource but the web view is not great for reading long threads.

Maybe the only way is to use a terminal app to access mutt remotely?

@BrodieOnLinux @qdot I find it weird to see #FLOSS #devs use an #InformationBlackhole like #discord which combines all the disadvantages of #MailingList, #IRC, #XMPP, #Matrix and even #MicrosoftTeams and #Signal without any redeeming qualities of any of those, like a functioning search & logging.

  • Like the #LKML is kinda shit in terms of UX but at least there are searchable indexes for it so one can just point at a specific message & comment wthout having to be granted access to it.

Not to mention that discord is #ableist af by literally preventing the use of #Screenreader-friendly browsers such as #Lynx and #dillo to work, blocking @torproject / #Tor users and explicitly banning the use of it's #API to build better clients.

  • Not even a #paid-for exception is offered, thus making integration into even paid-for tools like #HootSuite not legally possible!

@nixCraft really, #AIslop is attacking the #LKML?

I blatantly messed up the last version of my "strobe/flash duration v4l2 control" series for #mainline #linux 🤯 Therefore v4 went out minutes ago 📬 🤞

Big shout-out to Sakari Ailus for conscientiously reviewing the series and giving great feedback 👏

Linus Torvalds has proper motivated reasons for really disliking file systems without a case sensitivity.

Read this with me from the kernel lkml, regarding bcachefs.

[Перевод] Линус Торвальдс жёстко разнёс регистронезависимые ФС

Линус Торвальдс сегодня в привычной для себя прямой и резкой манере высказался о файловых системах с поддержкой case folding (регистронезависимых файлов и папок). Поводом послужила проблема с поддержкой case folding в Bcachefs, обнаруженная на этой неделе и уже имеющая фикс для Linux 6.15. Линус написал огромное сообщение в рассылке разработчиков Linux (LKML), изложив своё мнение о реализации case folding. Стоит отметить, что проблема с case folding в Bcachefs — не первая для Linux: ранее уже возникали баги, связанные с обработкой эмодзи и других специальных символов Unicode.
