>Worth noting above is that Linux 5.10 and 5.15 are both hitting EOL this year in December, so if your distro is still running either of these, now is a good time to start thinking about a move. If you are not that deep into the kernel rabbit hole, then you need to know that most releases only get about two months of active support before the next one takes over. LTS releases are the exception here.

It's always confused me why ubuntu and it's spawn don't use LTS kernels. They used heavily modified kernels they freeze and "patch". Just seems like more work than it's worth, when a stable and supported base is sitting right there waiting to be used

I will say.. I am happy that I have not had to recompile my kernel from scratch for a bit now. That used to be a kind of regular thing for the stuff I was working on.

God...the amount of self hatred one would need to be using Gentoo or Slackware in modern era is scary. And even slackware has a software repo of sorts, or so I've read.

I was doing this shit when I was in grade school to try to get audio working.

Yeah. I am not that old but I was working on this when I was young. I am also not a programmer but have patched drivers to make them work by basically yelling into the void before I learned more and figured out the proper way to put in PR's (pre git).

There is a high chance that nearly everyone (technical) on this side has either read something I wrote (under a different name) or used something I wrote out of pure anger alone.

Life is complicated. Sometimes expressing your raw anger results in usable systems. Guess that is just /s/WhitePeopleThings

Fuck. It's Sunday. I should probably just fuck off for the rest of the night.

I am tired. So very, very, tired.

I've still got stuff running 3.x...amateurs.

I hope you have some very good network segmentation o.0

I'm not worried about it. It's got a lot of logging on it, and it's had maybe 5 odd attempts over the last 10 years.

Speaking from a guy that has intentionally broken shit like that. It only takes one time, once.

Just putting that out there.
