'"Take a look at your process tree, it’s likely that you might notice a new service: rtkit-daemon, the RealtimeKit Daemon. It seems nobody on the internet is talking about it, so let’s explain what it’s about in this article."'
Here are some deets about where we're meeting on Friday night
https://www.crowdsupply.com/events/2025/3/14/hackaday-europe-pre-event-bring-a-hack
I'm on my way to Berlin for @hackaday Europe. Who else is gonna be there???
On Friday from 6pm I'll be hosting the Bring a Hack pre-event party at Jockel Biergarten, just ten minutes walk from the venue.
Bring a project to show, stickers to swap, or just bring yourself
Periodic reminder. We are looking for sponsors to help us to make the next edition a success. You can find all details here:
https://kernel-recipes.org/en/2025/sponsor/
Yopu can also participate with donations and choose the amount for it
Just let us know by droping a message here or a mail
I'm currently looking for people with low level #firmware, #hypervisor and/or #virtio experience. Flexible contract or full time possibility. My DMs are open for CVs, ideally with pointers to #upstream contributions. #getfedihired #fedihire #jobs
I also have 'git prefix-branch <prefix>' to add '<prefix>/' to branch name. For example, 'git prefix-branch attic' to name the current branch 'attic/branch-name'.
I often use 'git prefix-branch delete' because AFAIK there isn't a neat way to delete the current branch. I thus move the branch to the recycle bin, so to speak, and throw them out later.

2/ Also note this part of Linus' message:
'"For _me_ a traditional holiday activity tends to be a LEGO build or two, […]
[…] this year I also ended up doing a number of guitar pedal kit builds […] because I enjoy the tinkering, […]
[…] since I want to have the excuse to continue to do them, and since I don't actually have any _use_ for the resulting pedals […] , I decided that I'm going to see if some hapless kernel developer would want one. […]'"
