Replying to @Gina@fosstodon.org
@Gina a lot of drama around a mod with what appear to be undelightful views (I didn't dig too much into that), other instances blocking fosstodon, the admin quit, it's a bit of a shit show... The mod has deleted account, but that wasn't enough apparently so seems good chance this instance will die. https://kevquirk.com/blog/my-thoughts-on-the-fosstodon-drama from admin who quit...

Sometimes when the review backlog gets crazy you wonder if you might ever get back on top again...

@brauner seems like it's intended to replace it? Why would you do pre-emptive oom when you can just have all the logic in the kernel I guess? But maybe still useful to pre-empt... I'm quite concerned about having bpf make decisions in such a critical place. A great advantage of oomk is it's really simple and straightforward to understand, and oomd and friends can be used otherwise.

@brauner @airlied call me cynical but to me it's just really obvious bike shedding? With no offence meant to anybody, it's a good chance to get all 'big brained' and make sweeping grand statements about the nature of linux, rust, the universe and everything and pop a monocle on. 'twas ever the case. But yeah, let's get back to coding please... :>)

@joel_linux@fosstodon.org @ggherdov@fosstodon.org I provided a free google service (which is ironic given you're the googler :P) It is a service I offer once a month and you guys were lucky enough to catch January's!
