casey is back!

As I'm finding my way back to active duty in postmarketOS, I'm yet again concluding that I just can't handle maintaining a kernel fork anymore with no upstream in sight.

So this is yet another call for someone to take over rebasing and updating the SDM845 kernel. I'm happy to help deal with regressions, but I'm spending so much of my time lately working on tooling and U-Boot, something has to give and that has been the kernel maintenance.

Joel has done a great job at helping out (and hopefully will continue to do so!) but we're lacking someone to deal with regular updates, get all the devices tested, etc...

If this is something you're interested in and you have some relevant experience please let me know! so many folks are relying on SDM845 devices for their Linux Mobile use or development, so providing some kind of relatively stable platform is pretty important...

Not looking for any xz style maintainers, thanks!

Happy 34th birthday to the Linux kernel!

On this day, August 25th, we celebrate 34 years since Linus Torvalds announced his new toy project. What started as a small, personal project has grown into the powerful Linux kernel, the heart of countless devices worldwide.

Its success is a good reminder of the power of opensource collaboration and the global community of developers who have contributed to its growth. Thank you, Linus, and thank you to everyone who has made Linux what it is today!

@nixCraft There should be a #nobel price for #gnu and #linux. But I am not sure in which category.

Historical, indeed.
...and thanks Stallman for #GNU:

Without GNU there'd be nothing open for Linus to start with or contribute to in the first place.

Imagine where we'd be at without those decisions back then?

Forced to either choose Windows or ... ? oh. Without #FOSS/GNU and #Linux, Apple would not exist anymore - and there'd be no Google too.

Wow. Thanks everyone doing GPL to provide choice and hope for all of us!
