    SMB improvements (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin...), I've moved to borg, but depending on how this goes may give time machine another try: - Add opt-in Apple Time Machine support Implement the AAPL negotiation and related Finder, stream, COPYCHUNK, sparse-file, CHANGE_NOTIFY, and RPC compatibility required for Time Machine shares, allowing macOS backupd to use ksmbd for backups https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-7.3-KSMBDStill sucks that it has to be reverse-engineered

    I'm excited because of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin..., which is the first kernel driver to use the new Wi-Fi HaLow (s1g/900MHz Wi-Fi) support.(Disclosure: I work for Morse)

    > This release is a record-breaker on all fronts; it brought in 18,765 non-merge commits from 3,021 developers, 807 of whom were first-time kernel developers.I'm reading that as many new AI assisted code patches. Not everyone does an obviously bad job at submitting AI assisted code.Not a criticism, just an observation.

    Is anyone already running this seeing /dev/input/events appear as usual? Last rc didn't work for me, events was gone :( same config 7.2.10 was fine

    It’d be interesting to see if rust pickup is improving or not.

    First time hearing about failfs. Does it have a niche use case or is it just for testing?
  • sippingabonedry
    Linux has an in-kernel SMB server like Solaris? When the hell did this happen?

    I wonder how many people nowadays see something like this, clicking on it and expecting a "Download and Install" button.

    How big change is this?
