I've found the place usable again after instructing my newsreader
to ignore crossposts to certain newsgroups.

Unfortunately, there are also some Linux regulars that barf
up political posts from time to time.  For those threads,
I right-click, "ignore thread", and voila, the world is
a happier place.

ObLinux: Compiled and booted Linux 6.12-rc1 yesterday evening,
but NVIDIA drivers won't compile for the new kernel.  Checked
the forum, and it's a known problem -- official answer is
that 6.12-rc1 isn't a released kernel, so wait for the release
then they'll fix it.
