Code review is in high demand, and short supply, for most open-source projects. Reviewer time is precious, so any tool that can lighten the load is worth exploring. That is why Jesse Brandeburg and Kamel Ayari decided to test whether tools like ChatGPT could review patches to provide quick feedback to contributors about common problems. In a talk at the Netdev 0x18 conference this July, Brandeburg provided an overview of an experiment using machine learning to review emails containing patches sent to the netdev mailing list. Large-language models (LLMs) will not be replacing human reviewers anytime soon, but they may be a useful addition to help humans focus on deeper reviews instead of simple rule violations.

The NGINX team has announced that official NGINX open-source development has moved away from Mercurial to GitHub, and the project will now be taking contributions in the form of pull requests:

Additionally, starting today, we will begin accepting bugs reports, feature requests and enhancements directly through GitHub, under the "Issues" tab. Moreover, we've moved our community forums to the GitHub "Discussions" area, where you will now be able to engage in conversation, ask, and answer questions.

[...] We understand that changes like these may require adjustment, so to give you more time, we will continue accepting patches and provide community support via mailing lists until December 31st, 2024.

In this guide, we’ll explore what proxies are, how to set up a proxy server, and how to make the proxy settings permanent in Ubuntu Linux.

Alejandro Colomar, who has been maintaining the Linux man pages for the last four years, has announced that he will have to stop that work.

I've been doing it in my free time, and no company has sponsored that work at all. At the moment, I cannot sustain this work economically any more, and will temporarily and indefinitely stop working on this project. If any company has interests in the future of the project, I'd welcome an offer to sponsor my work here; if so, please let me know.

Work on realtime preemption for the Linux kernel got its start almost exactly 20 years ago (though it had its roots in earlier work, of course). It is fair to say that finishing that job has taken a bit longer than anybody involved would have expected. Now, though, Sebastian Andrzej Siewior has posted a brief patch series making it possible to enable realtime preemption in the mainline kernel on three architectures.

With the printk bits merged, PREEMPT_RT could be enabled on X86, ARM64 and Risc-V. These three architectures merged required changes over the years leaving me in a position where I have no essential changes in the queue that would affect them.

Congratulations are due to the many developers who have worked on this project for the last two decades.
