schestowitz[TR2]                                                <p>A while ago a colleague of mine asked about our crash infrastructure in Plasma and whether I could give some overview on it. This seems very useful to others as well, I thought. Here I am, telling you all about it! </p>Aug 21 13:02

schestowitz[TR2]                                    <blockquote>Aug 21 13:07
schestowitz[TR2]                                        <p>The source-based Gentoo Linux distribution, which still supports a wide range of CPU architectures, will soon support one less. The project leaders announced that it is removing support for Intel's Itanium processor family. </p>Aug 21 13:07
schestowitz[TR2]                                        <p> It had little choice in this. Like any other distro, Gentoo relies on upstream support for a platform in order to keep it working. The Linux kernel nearly removed Itanic support in February 2023, and finally did so in kernel 6.7 last October. As we predicted the following month, nobody has stepped up to maintain out-of-tree support. </p>Aug 21 13:07

schestowitz[TR2]> Yes, I did prepare the talk carefully with written notes.  Each topicAug 21 20:49
schestowitz[TR2]> had to be linked to the next topic very carefully so that people willAug 21 20:49
schestowitz[TR2]> understand the extent to which social engineering is hurting the wholeAug 21 20:49
schestowitz[TR2]> ecosystem.Aug 21 20:49
schestowitz[TR2]>Aug 21 20:49
schestowitz[TR2]> However, I'm not too keen to publish bits of the talk before people seeAug 21 20:49
schestowitz[TR2]> the video.  That could lead to confusion between those who saw the videoAug 21 20:49
schestowitz[TR2]> and those who didn't.Aug 21 20:49
schestowitz[TR2]>Aug 21 20:49
schestowitz[TR2]> Do you know if anybody has already tried to query the video status or ifAug 21 20:49
schestowitz[TR2]> anybody else might have taken recordings of the stream?Aug 21 20:49
schestowitz[TR2]>Aug 21 20:49
schestowitz[TR2]> Is there any part of the talk that from your perspective seemedAug 21 20:49
schestowitz[TR2]> unreasonable or may have crossed a line insulting or defaming anybody? IAug 21 20:49
schestowitz[TR2]> was trying to avoid such things but sometimes something that sounds OKAug 21 20:49
schestowitz[TR2]> to one person sounds like an insult to somebody else.Aug 21 20:49
schestowitz[TR2]>Aug 21 20:49
schestowitz[TR2]> Regards,Aug 21 20:49
schestowitz[TR2]I totally understand how and why order matters.Aug 21 20:49
schestowitz[TR2]The only stuff I'd have left out is anything about risk to oneself e.g. assassination as that can play into the hands of your opponents/detractors.Aug 21 20:49
