@Gina a lot of drama around a mod with what appear to be undelightful views (I didn't dig too much into that), other instances blocking fosstodon, the admin quit, it's a bit of a shit show...
The mod has deleted account, but that wasn't enough apparently so seems good chance this instance will die.

Sometimes when the review backlog gets crazy you wonder if you might ever get back on top again...

@brauner seems like it's intended to replace it? Why would you do pre-emptive oom when you can just have all the logic in the kernel I guess?
But maybe still useful to pre-empt...
I'm quite concerned about having bpf make decisions in such a critical place.
A great advantage of oomk is it's really simple and straightforward to understand, and oomd and friends can be used otherwise.

@brauner @airlied call me cynical but to me it's just really obvious bike shedding?
With no offence meant to anybody, it's a good chance to get all 'big brained' and make sweeping grand statements about the nature of linux, rust, the universe and everything and pop a monocle on.
'twas ever the case.
But yeah, let's get back to coding please... :>)
