Some of you know today as π-day.
But the real insiders know that today is the 30th anniversary of the 1.0 release of Linux.

Being the responsible parents we are, we have Carbon Monoxide alarms in the house, because hey, it’s what you do. Right?
Of course, they have never gone off (knock wood), so you do tend to forget that they exist at all.
Well, yesterday one of those alarms decided that it needed to really remind us that it exists, and that it’s been ten years since we activated it. Because it’s now time to replace it.
Of course, nobody was home - except for the dog. Who is now traumatized by that beeping hell-box that suddenly decided that it was a good idea to tell everybody out of the blue that it needs replacing - at 95dB, just to make sure.
Kidde - I’m sure you could at least start out with just a mild chirp, instead of going full “the bark collar from hell” crazy. No?

@eemeli Don’t do it.
Yes, it’s funny to do, and maybe git has no problems with it. Maybe.
But all the visualization tools will be ugly if they work at all. Just look at
`git show --cc 2cde51fbd0f3`in the kernel repo and that’s a paltry 66 parents. We have a number of other “big” octopus merges, but we’ve avoided anything even that big since.
So even if things work, you just get into issues like “my terminal window isn’t that wide”.

I’m clearly a master of SEO.
When I google for “cold dark place filled with sadness and despair” right now (with the quotes), google gives me exactly one result - my Linux kernel github repository.
I will call my new hobby “Reverse Emo Googlewhacking”.
You’re welcome.

@morgthorak I think you might want to make sure you don’t follow me.
Because your “woke communist propaganda” comment makes me think you’re a moron of the first order.
I strongly suspect I am one of those “woke communists” you worry about. But you probably couldn’t actually explain what either of those words actually mean, could you?
I’m a card-carrying atheist, I think a woman’s right to choose is very important, I think that “well regulated militia” means that guns should be carefully licensed and not just randomly given to any moron with a pulse, and I couldn’t care less if you decided to dress up in the “wrong” clothes or decided you’d rather live your life without feeling tied to whatever plumbing you were born with.
And dammit, if that all makes me “woke”, then I think anybody who uses that word as a pejorative is a f*cking disgrace to the human race. So please just unfollow me right now.
