It’s interesting that the news about the exclusion of Russians from Linux kernel development doesn’t mention that this only applies to those working for the Russian government or corporations. This is an important nuance, as not all Russian developers support their government’s policies.

_Hey DT...._ I finally made the decision to migrate to Linux and recently discovered your channel. You got some great content. Thanks for all that you do.
Linux user since 2009 (pro and family) , started with Ubuntu, then Fedora (15), back Ubuntu, OpenSuse, Debian, back to Ubuntu (mostly Kubuntu). Just another GNU/Linux journey ... I do appreciate this channel, thanks !
One tool I've been using for years to sync files is Free File Sync (FFS). It will sync between pretty much whatever computers you want (including cloud server/NAS). It also has another component to it called Real Time Sync. You can create batch files from your FFS settings, load them into the RTS and it will update files automatically in a set time. The one great thing about FFS is you can actually see what's changed between your sync's and correct where necessary.
Hey DT, thanks for answering my question about Russians!!! My point was mainly about how much free software can be if a government (the most powerful in the world to be more precise) can dictate who contributes and who doesn't. It seems to me that FOSS is not that FOSS at the end. But I get it that there's nothing we can do about that.
Wrong. russians still can fork what they want and do what they want. Right now they are basically lost an option to add any backdors to the code. And also EMMOTIONAL DAMAGE)
@@andriiukraine6697 We all know what organisation is capable of doing it and has all intentions to do so. It is based on the other side of the pond and operates freely. Of course there is always someone who prefers the backdoors produced by his favourite brand but c'mon all the backdoors are bad.
👍 And another example here: The US which hosts the UN building and offices have banned some members from flying to the US to attend legitimate meetings. The UN is neutral territory but the US controls the entry! The UN has been politicized and works for the benefit of the Collective West / Five Eyes only. That's why we see entities like the SCO, BRICS, etc. ascending.
I don't see how you can reconcile "no control over" with "free software". If government now decides on who's worthy of maintaining Linux kernel, how about they decide to add vulnerabilities to it for their own convenience?
This only hurts linux and open source and doesn't even make a dent against the Russian government. If anything it only show how much a hypocrite people like Linus is.
I couldn't agree more. Many long-term (and knowledgeable) kernel developers have left Linux over this nonsense. One was even silently kicked out for daring to question the remarks from Torvalds. Personally, I look forward to a "hard" fork of the kernel. Hopefully the next effort will build in safeguards from such things.
Of course the Linux Foundation can do something to evade the US sanctions against open source. It could transfer control of the project outside the US.
Hey, DT, thank you from Russia. I just want to say, when we have something that join us, like the kernel or the space station it sad to see how somebody destroys it. I believe that we will work together (all the people). Engineers will union the World (Not political comment)
Yeah, the shameless US neocons needed the Russian rockets to keep the space station alive! Trade and cultural appreciation, not stupid counterproductive sanctions, are the way to go.
OK. How many times did the US invade its neighbors in the 20th and 21th century? I will start past the 1991 to list some of the one maded by Russia (if i started earlier the list will be to big): 1991-1992: South Ossetian War 1991-1993: Georgia Civil War 1992-1993: War in Abkhazia 1992: Transnistria War 1992-1997: Tajikistani Civil War 1994-1996: First Chechen War 1999: War of Dagestan 1999-2009: Second Chechen War 2008: Russo-Georgian War 2014-present: Russo-Ukrainian War It is not that the United States goes out and sets up its bases without permission from the country, the country allows it because just sharing borders with Russia and not being a Russia submissive state put them on danger.
@@caelisr3 Why did you chose conflicts after the collapse of the USSR, provoked by the western world ? Just to speak about the latest one : you never heard of the corruption of officials in Ukraine by the US government to attempt to destroy Russia ? You seem to have good lists, could you please display the one with the conflicts made by the US ? Strangely, they always happen on the other side of the world, so not to be implicated on their own ground. Ukraine for ex. is a good example : let Europeans fight, and then use Blackrock to rebuild and submit.
I thought that Linux Kernel maintainers were carefully selected based on their skills and contributions. Like they are best of the best given how nasty Linus towards “stupid” developers. It is surprising that Linus all of a sudden claims them to be funded by Russian govt. Wasn’t it clear before? Why just now three years into war? I think there’s a bigger story here. And could be easily connected to November 5th.
@@alexandersuvorov2002I don't get the context but I am curious, could you please explain a bit more and these DEI patches ? Diversity Inclusive patches ?
@@sujatakinkada3066 I mean they will need to somehow compensate for the missing developers and I hope they won’t be forced to hire just because of DEI hype. Or what is worse they will be forced to hire agents straight out of CIA, NSA, DHS, FBI, IBM, Microsoft, Google and so on. We saw how relatively easy it was to introduce backdoors into Linux Kernel and now if the team is forced to introduce “strangers” and approve their PR’s there is greater risk for such backdoors when peer review is restricted and reserved for the “right guys”. It seems like a step in this direction. Time will tell.
Those guys literally work for companies under sanctions, which have ties to the Russian war effort. Did you even do a minimum of research? I agree that it's amazing that they were still there for 2 years after the company was sanctioned. Can only speculate as to why they were forgiven for so long, but at least they got removed in the end. Hopefully that's all of the Russian agents removed.
We are not one world and all a happy family! Like hell. That is so not true. It is wishful thinking. There are suppose to be borders for a reason. Same as, that there are prisons and good old fashion solitary confinement for those naughty one.
Why are not US programmers banned? Never forget what they did to Iraq, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Libya, Gaza and more. Hypocrisis at its finest. I am all for bashing war-mongering regimes, but if you have any kind of moral standard you can’t pick and choose who you want to sanction. You should apply the same standards to everyone.

In Russia, there are no independent IT companies left. All of these companies are controlled by the KGB, with their maintainers working directly for them. Concerns should not focus solely on a few Russian maintainers but rather on the potential risks of missiles, running on Linux, or malware that could disrupt your infrastructure.

No one got banned. They just have to go through the same review process as anyone else. And there are still Russian Linux maintainers. As long as Russians don't work for a sanctioned company, they are safe. Edit: Some guy appears to got banned, but that was after he submitted a troll PR as a form of protest, not because he was Russian or because of his opinion.
How ridiculous. Imagine if Newton's laws only applied if you were Mexican or German.

I think the first distro I ever tried my hands on was Slackware in our computer school (back then it was a thing, at least in India), I think it was 1996/97. We were installing it to teach students SCO Unix System V commands (LOL) as they did not want to invest that kind of money in buying a SCO license.
No, not on a large scale. The Russians are buying from China. They are using Linux and their version of Android without Google Apps. I've nothing against Russians personally, but the behaviour of the Russian government is unforgivable. Under ordinary circumstances, I would say, isolationism is a bad idea. But both Russia and China are threats to our democracies. I hoped for a change in both countries. Worked for years with Asian corporations. We, a colleague, had a partnership in a company in China, and we worked together with Chinese bigger and small corporations. About the bigger corporations. In each division in a region, there's a workforce consisting of 80.000-100.000 people!
sometimes when you dabble into political stuff I shrug off somehow... not because I think you're utterly wrong, but because I value some nuances fundamentally differently...

It's not only Linux which is at risk, but all GPL softwares !!! This represents hundreds of thousands packages... and this is scary. The RISC-V foundation moved to Switzerland to avoid being trapped like the LSF is now... Why don't they rush to do it now ?

What disturbs me about the Linux Foundation, that Linus Torwalds is so happy about banning those developers, which contributed to the Kernel for many years. The justification that he is Finnish is very poor. It is like WW1, the German hate the French, without differentiation. In the 21. Century we should know better, than to impose community penalty and exclude people due to their nationality. I am also disappointed that we can't have software, which can't be influenced by current politics and is independent and decentralized. Who can now make sure, that next time Linus doesn't decide to implement a backdoor for encryption, since it is a requirement by the government ?
btw. it was not because of nationality but because of the employer instead. There are still a lot of Russian maintainers, only those working for selected companies were removed.
Exactly. Good concern about the potential for abuse. This type of behavior will just drive people around the world to alternatives. Just like MS and Apple have driven people to Linux. BRICS will probably develop a hard fork of Linux, just like they did and are doing with SWIFT, WTO, NATO, etc.
I myself remember my first Linux distros - Knoppix as LiveCD and Ubuntu as installed OS. 6:43 these people are not free anyway, so they choose lesser evil. 14:51 This... maybe they would even motivate these individuals to switch jobs.
When you use CC license materials, mention the author. When you use that desktop OS in which Linux kernel is embedded in it, say GNU-Linux (or GNU/Linux, what have you). It's not that hard ;-)
I'm sure it's possible to decrypt DT password as he uses noisy keyboard and every key sounds a little bit different. You would need to learn his keyboard "voice" but there are many videos in which you hear and see exactly which keys are pressed. Anyway. I think it's "td" or some other key combination that is close to his user name as he doesn't like to do to many unnecessary hand movements.

Maybe the anonymous contributor who wrote that alarming CUPS vulnerability could start maintaining other kernel components. Really, he could. Like it or not. Don't say I didn't warn you.
My first Linux distro was Red Hat Linux 4.2 Biltmore, and moved to 5.0 Hurricane when it came out in December. Mandrake Linux was always bloated and confusing trash, I never understood its appeal.
The problem is Putin isn't a dictator. The only reason he's been branded as "public enemy number 1" is because Russia (and China) are the only 2 nations on earth that are able to hold a completely independent foreign policy. In Putin's case, he rescinded a whole bunch of contracts where western companies and individuals bought up all of Russia's assets for pennies on the dollar after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Read up about "The Harvard Boys" if you're interested. My wife lived through it (including the 1,600% inflation inflicted on Russians - they basically lost all their savings overnight, and all the oil companies and rights were suddenly owned by US and British companies and individuals). Read the western archives - newspapers were praising Putin before he rescinded those contracts.
the execuative order says NOTHING about linux, open source, or the gpl. It's much broader than open source, and I really wish people would go and read the damn thing before commenting on it.
It is intentionally vague and may be interpreted as included via the couple mentions of "technology" (which code is) and "contracts" (which GPL is one). But I think nobody should have done anything until notified of violation since it's all pretty unclear what it applies to besides the obvious usual stuff. Clearly Linus just wanted to and the EO is as good an excuse as any.

baikal chips are not used in rockets and never were. They are way too limited in numbers, since TSMC only shipped a small quantity of them into Russia. Baikals are used in civilian and military barracs PCs, as well as some ATMs
@@dandanovich6729 before the full-scale invasion in Ukraine they where not, but for a while now we see a trend where russian missiles have parts of domestic produced electronics, replacing the western counterparts. The posible reason for this is an attempt to replace western chips that are harder to get due to sanctions. There where reports already of a few Kalibr/Iskander/KH missiles that had russian domestic electronics including an Elbrus chip that was used in the navigation system of the missile. Yes TSMC has not created a lot of those chips but even a couple of thousand could be still useful newer the less. Plus russia is currently working on domestic chip production, there where recent reports of russia acquiring Dutch ASML microchip making machines through China + russia is officially stated producing over a 14 million units of semiconductor product produced domesticly in the first quarter of 2024... So they might build more of them A lot of that information haven't been published in mainstream media.

Plus russia has reportedly purchased a Dutch made ASML microchip making machine through China, that can improve domestic production. The official numbers for the first quarter of 2024 is more than 14 million semiconductor products made in russia.

A lot of this info doesn't hit mainstream media but if you search carefully in telegram/twitter/specialized military forums there's much more
Only those russians were banned who represent sanctioned corporations and institutions. These people introduced support for their own-built CPU Baikal, which they use in their military.
At the same time, US and other countries also working on support of their own hardware that they use in their weapons. It just means that US can control opensource, Russia and China can't. The right of the strongest, at the end. What DT said right is that Linus controls many things. Linus said mentioned our common history, but forgot to mention things like who block aded Leningrad during WW2. No hate to the man. I think he is just a not very nice person.
the Russians wanted to join NATO and now it would be a totally different world, do you really think the other half of the world is made up of miserable stupid backward people and the USA is the only world gendarme?
It is clear that better for you to form yours “unpolitical” image, and ignore a reason why all this developers directly connected to Russian military? It is way more better for “unpolitical” leader of meaning to criticize USA government, but keep in silence why that Russian developers could be related to weapons production.

Linus is from Finland. Soviet union invaded Finland in the winter war where Finland lost a lot of people and territory. Just like its attacking Ukraine right now for the past 2 years. 300000-400000 people died in the ruzzZZzzzian invasion of Finland (winter war+continuation war). Find out what you are talking about and maybe apologize to Linus.
The Russian Empire invaded the Swedish Empire, occupied and created the Duchy of Finland, gave it many rights (Finland had its own army, schools, language, taxes), then after the Russian Empire broke Finland became independent, if it wasn't for Russia Finland could have still been a Swedish province.

My point was mainly about how much free software can be if a government (the most powerful in the world to be more precise) can dictate who contributes and who doesn't. It seems to me that FOSS is not that FOSS at the end. But I get it that there's nothing we can do about that.
Wrong. russians still can fork what they want and do what they want. Right now they are basically lost an option to add any backdors to the code. And also EMMOTIONAL DAMAGE)
@@andriiukraine6697 We all know what organisation is capable of doing it and has all intentions to do so. It is based on the other side of the pond and operates freely.
Of course there is always someone who prefers the backdoors produced by his favourite brand but c'mon all the backdoors are bad.
@andriiukraine6697 Yeah. Sometimes I forget the US and Israel are the only ones with that privilege.
it was a huge mistake to turn against the Russians, a new world order is emerging and there is no turning back
👍 And another example here: The US which hosts the UN building and offices have banned some members from flying to the US to attend legitimate meetings. The UN is neutral territory but the US controls the entry! The UN has been politicized and works for the benefit of the Collective West / Five Eyes only. That's why we see entities like the SCO, BRICS, etc. ascending.

@@romany8125 You might have been only a twinkle in your father's eyes, but there were a few people developing the kernel and the packaging. 🤓🤓🤓
I don't see how you can reconcile "no control over" with "free software". If government now decides on who's worthy of maintaining Linux kernel, how about they decide to add vulnerabilities to it for their own convenience?
Im pretty sure, theres no controlling the linux foundation……?
This only hurts linux and open source and doesn't even make a dent against the Russian government. If anything it only show how much a hypocrite people like Linus is.
@@klin1klinom do you know difference between reason and occasion. That was an occasion.
I couldn't agree more. Many long-term (and knowledgeable) kernel developers have left Linux over this nonsense. One was even silently kicked out for daring to question the remarks from Torvalds. Personally, I look forward to a "hard" fork of the kernel. Hopefully the next effort will build in safeguards from such things.

"Hey, DT! I Figured Out Your Password. (It's **)"
Of course the Linux Foundation can do something to evade the US sanctions against open source. It could transfer control of the project outside the US.
Hey, DT, thank you from Russia. I just want to say, when we have something that join us, like the kernel or the space station it sad to see how somebody destroys it. I believe that we will work together (all the people). Engineers will union the World (Not political comment)
Yeah, the shameless US neocons needed the Russian rockets to keep the space station alive! Trade and cultural appreciation, not stupid counterproductive sanctions, are the way to go.

OK. How many times did the US invade its neighbors in the 20th and 21th century? I will start past the 1991 to list some of the one maded by Russia (if i started earlier the list will be to big):
1991-1992: South Ossetian War
1991-1993: Georgia Civil War
1992-1993: War in Abkhazia

1999: War of Dagestan
1999-2009: Second Chechen War
2008: Russo-Georgian War
2014-present: Russo-Ukrainian War
It is not that the United States goes out and sets up its bases without permission from the country, the country allows it because just sharing borders with Russia and not being a Russia submissive state put them on danger.
@@caelisr3 Why did you chose conflicts after the collapse of the USSR, provoked by the western world ? Just to speak about the latest one : you never heard of the corruption of officials in Ukraine by the US government to attempt to destroy Russia ?

@@sujatakinkada3066 I mean they will need to somehow compensate for the missing developers and I hope they won’t be forced to hire just because of DEI hype. Or what is worse they will be forced to hire agents straight out of CIA, NSA, DHS, FBI, IBM, Microsoft, Google and so on. We saw how relatively easy it was to introduce backdoors into Linux Kernel and now if the team is forced to introduce “strangers” and approve their PR’s there is greater risk for such backdoors when peer review is restricted and reserved for the “right guys”. It seems like a step in this direction. Time will tell.
Those guys literally work for companies under sanctions, which have ties to the Russian war effort. Did you even do a minimum of research? I agree that it's amazing that they were still there for 2 years after the company was sanctioned. Can only speculate as to why they were forgiven for so long, but at least they got removed in the end. Hopefully that's all of the Russian agents removed.

My first linux distro was Mandrake in 1999. I was trying to use it as a desktop. It was a nightmare.

Maybe the russians will fork the linux kernel.
No, not on a large scale. The Russians are buying from China. They are using Linux and their version of Android without Google Apps. I've nothing against Russians personally, but the behaviour of the Russian government is unforgivable. Under ordinary circumstances, I would say, isolationism is a bad idea. But both Russia and China are threats to our democracies. I hoped for a change in both countries. Worked for years with Asian corporations. We, a colleague, had a partnership in a company in China, and we worked together with Chinese bigger and small corporations. About the bigger corporations. In each division in a region, there's a workforce consisting of 80.000-100.000 people!
Maybe ryzzians leave Ukraine and stop the unaliving?

What disturbs me about the Linux Foundation, that Linus Torwalds is so happy about banning those developers, which contributed to the Kernel for many years. The justification that he is Finnish is very poor. It is like WW1, the German hate the French, without differentiation. In the 21. Century we should know better, than to impose community penalty and exclude people due to their nationality. I am also disappointed that we can't have software, which can't be influenced by current politics and is independent and decentralized. Who can now make sure, that next time Linus doesn't decide to implement a backdoor for encryption, since it is a requirement by the government ?
unfortunately apparently a stupid Finnish
btw. it was not because of nationality but because of the employer instead.
There are still a lot of Russian maintainers, only those working for selected companies were removed.
Exactly. Good concern about the potential for abuse. This type of behavior will just drive people around the world to alternatives. Just like MS and Apple have driven people to Linux. BRICS will probably develop a hard fork of Linux, just like they did and are doing with SWIFT, WTO, NATO, etc.

Huge respect to Linus! Z's should sort out their own dictator before complaining that civilized world rejected them!
The problem is Putin isn't a dictator. The only reason he's been branded as "public enemy number 1" is because Russia (and China) are the only 2 nations on earth that are able to hold a completely independent foreign policy. In Putin's case, he rescinded a whole bunch of contracts where western companies and individuals bought up all of Russia's assets for pennies on the dollar after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Read up about "The Harvard Boys" if you're interested. My wife lived through it (including the 1,600% inflation inflicted on Russians - they basically lost all their savings overnight, and all the oil companies and rights were suddenly owned by US and British companies and individuals). Read the western archives - newspapers were praising Putin before he rescinded those contracts.

Hello from Russia! Thank you for you sane opinion of sane grown up man.
the execuative order says NOTHING about linux, open source, or the gpl. It's much broader than open source, and I really wish people would go and read the damn thing before commenting on it.
It is intentionally vague and may be interpreted as included via the couple mentions of "technology" (which code is) and "contracts" (which GPL is one). But I think nobody should have done anything until notified of violation since it's all pretty unclear what it applies to besides the obvious usual stuff. Clearly Linus just wanted to and the EO is as good an excuse as any.

There where reports already of a few Kalibr/Iskander/KH missiles that had russian domestic electronics including an Elbrus chip that was used in the navigation system of the missile.

The Russian Empire invaded the Swedish Empire, occupied and created the Duchy of Finland, gave it many rights (Finland had its own army, schools, language, taxes), then after the Russian Empire broke Finland became independent, if it wasn't for Russia Finland could have still been a Swedish province.
