[05:29] <Guest53746> hey i have a question
[05:29] <Guest53746> just thinking of the average computer user and wondering, why does the ubuntu kernel have amature radio support by default?
[05:34] <crimsun> because there are HAM users of a non-trivial number
[05:34] <crimsun> (granted, that isn't necessarily the *real* reason, but it stands that things not marked experimental or broken are selected)
[05:35] <Guest53746> that works i guess? do you think modularizing it might be a better option
[05:35] <Guest53746> (ham users are pretty advanced users in my experiance lol)
[05:36] <crimsun> would it really impact the kernel that much?
[05:36] <crimsun> and, would you really save more than say 10KiB?
[05:36] <Guest53746> good point
[05:36] <crimsun> I would file a bug if you feel inclined to pursue it
[05:37] <Guest53746> no just going to make my own custom kernel
[05:37] <Guest53746> just throwing it out there though there are many 10k's one could cut from the kernel that would add up
[05:38] <Guest53746> who knows. anyway thats all thanks
[21:12] <dhillon-v10> matti, hi :D
[21:22] <matti> Hi dhillon-v10 ;]
[21:22] <matti> dhillon-v10: Merry X-Mas ;]
[21:25] <dhillon-v10> matti, yah same to you, I found something futal on your wiki page, PLEASE REMOVE YOUR GPG FINGERPRINT FROM THAT PAGE okay :D
[21:25] <matti> OK, why?
[21:26] <dhillon-v10> matti, an experienced hacker can do a lot with it ;)
[21:29] <matti> dhillon-v10: You can read it off of my certificate anyway.
[21:29] <matti> dhillon-v10: And there is no protection against somebody importing it.
[21:29] <dhillon-v10> matti, true but just in case
[21:29] <matti> ;]
[21:29] <matti> OK
[21:30] <dhillon-v10> matti, just finished installing virtual box, I am packaging dtrace on it so :D
[21:31] <matti> Nice ;]
[21:31] <matti> Linux could indeed use dtrace.
[21:32] <dhillon-v10> matti, this ome guy ported it to linux, I am just debianizing it :D
[21:32] <dhillon-v10> *one
[21:34] <matti> ;]
[21:34] <matti> I wonder.
[21:35] <matti> Do we finally have kcore, kernel debugger and kexec supported natively in the Kernel?
[21:35] <matti> I havent look at these for a while.
[21:36] <dhillon-v10> matti, not quiet sure about that, the kernel debugger I think so, see most of this is done upstream so we don't do too many changes to the kernel because something might break
[22:03] <matti> ;]
