April fools
-----------
 =20
Impossible to catch all IT-related April fool's jokes this year, they wer=
e=20
everywhere, on Google, OpenBSD, some even found their way into Gentoo=20
ebuilds. One seems to have qualified for the 2005 best of April fool's=20
shortlist at many publications: The GeNToo project[1], Gentoo for the NT=20
kernel, alas, is a complete and utter joke. If you believed a word of it,=
=20
you've been had.=20

=20
Of the several pranks played at Gentoo this year, the GeNToo plot was the=
=20
most elaborate, and actually dating back to a group of three developers=20
splitting away from the rest of the lot at FOSDEM in February for a=20
spontaneous hacking and belgian fries session: Karl Trygve Kalleberg[2],=20
Patrick Lauer[3] and Marius Mauch[4]. Under the influence of too many=20
Belgian fries, karltk was the first to point out the epiphany hidden in=20
the name of the project: "You see, when you write 'Gentoo', it has NT in=20
the middle," said the Norwegian developer. And thinking aloud: "Now if on=
e=20
took the NT kernel ... there is a POSIX layer for it ... put Portage on i=
t=20
..." As he drew the surreal picture in increasingly shrill colors, the=20
three devs quickly realized that the only possible release date for this=20
particularly fine piece of vaporware would have to be the first of April.=

So, with the idea floating since February, there was time to back the=20
story up with ample documentation and even screenshots (which were taken=20
from VMware during a regular boot of Windows 2000 in "Safe Mode"), with a=
=20
coating of a handmade bootlog text that was a rather good approximation o=
f=20
how emerge info might actually look on such a system.=20
=20
When the announcement was posted to the website and the topics of two IRC=
=20
channels almost simultaneously around noon UTC, the traffic statistics on=
=20
the website where the project description was hosted went simply through=20
the ceiling. An amazingly constant stream of traffic, weighing in at=20
around one hit per second or 100MB per hour, was sustained over almost th=
e=20
entire day -- considering that the whole website is only 165KB,=20
estimations are that the GeNToo hoax got around 600 visitors per hour.=20

=20
To make the illusion even more believable, a channel on Freenode was=20
created, too: #gentoo-nt, the perfect place to discuss something that=20
didn't even exist. An interesting twist came about when some of the first=
=20
to be fooled later turned into devoted GeNToo evangelists, perpetuating=20
the myth in the IRC channel and taking the charade even further: One=20
produced "a patched NT kernel" and offered it online at his own website.=20
When looked at closely, it bore a striking familiarity with a 2.6.11 Linu=
x=20
kernel, but nevertheless -- declared as a "GeNToo binary" -- found many=20
curious downloaders.=20
=20
While the #gentoo-nt channel on Freenode was still continuing its=20
makebelief stance well past the dateline into Saturday 2 April, nobody wa=
s=20
sad when the atrocities behind the other prominent Gentoo April fool's=20
joke were taken down again. People who had followed the announcement[5] i=
n=20
the Gentoo forums that the redesign had now been finished and could be=20
applied by simply switching the user profile, quickly complained about=20
headache, sudden bursts of claustro- and other phobia. Small wonder,=20
looking at the effect the "redesign" had on posts:

Reactions were mixed, while some people figured out the joke pretty fast,=
=20
others complained about eyestrain. While moderators were watching and=20
merging duplicated spawn to the central thread[6], they decided to create=
=20
even more confusion by renaming moderators to "Ninjas" and administrators=
=20
to "Ninja Masters". Bodhisatvas (the rank for ex-mods and -admins) decide=
d=20
not to follow this trend -- and were renamed to HAL 9000. How subtle=20
moderator interference at the forums really is was best displayed by the=20
fact that it took almost all day before people started noticing[7] the=20
change!=20

emerge webrsync reloaded
------------------------
 =20
Portage developer Brian Harring[8] has implemented a more=20
resource-friendly version of emerge webrsync. Instead of pulling in the=20
whole tarball, it only uses compressed patches between (daily) versions.=20
That way a user can keep up-to-date with only minimal overhead even when=20
rsync is not available (firewalls and dialup users mostly). A description=
=20
and howto can be found at  his blog[9]. First estimates give up to 99%=20
bandwidth saved compared to webrsync.=20

"Why Gentoo? It's cool." -- Michael Hanselmann (hansmi)

http://www.gentoo.org/images/gwn/20050404_hansmi.jpg
=20
This weeks featured dev is Michael Hanselmann, known to most as=20
hansmi[10]. He does "various stuff" in Gentoo/PPC, Gentoo/HPPA and the=20
qmail herd, which mostly boils down to marking packages stable, fixing=20
bugs and hanging out on IRC a lot. He is the administrator of a hosting=20
experiment (a project called forkbomb.ch[11]), has written some software=20
of his own[12], used to do some work with fli4l and still does busy=20
himself with the m0n0wall project, but his greatest contributions he stil=
l=20
sees in Gentoo, including a stint on the Mac OS X team where he=20
contributed a Mac OS panel application for setting Portage preferences.=20

 12. http://www.hansmi.ch/software
=20
Currently he is doing a programmer apprenticeship in Liechtenstein which=20
will be finished this summer -- job offers in Switzerland are therefore=20
highly appreciated! His favourite applications are the vim, mutt and=20
qmail, which all runs somewhere on a heterogenous mix of x86, sparc, hppa=
=20
and ppc, with fluxbox quite possibly being the only element that binds=20
them all together. Asked what the first application to launch after he=20
boots his systems, he insists on an appropriately geeky answer:=20
"Technically, /sbin/init is the first application I (or my kernel)=20
launches at startup. Or maybe you mean bash when logging in. In a=20
graphical environment, it's aterm and ssh."=20
=20
In those rare moments when he is not attached to computer peripherals he=20
fiddles with electronics, building or breaking stuff, and sometimes reall=
y=20
considers "real" life less interesting than computers.=20

Banned from OTW

A new feature, originally introduced by ex-developer Christian Hartmann=20

admins with a finer-grained ability to ban someone for disregarding the=20
guidelines for postings in Off the Wall, while leaving their ID intact an=

activated for posts in the technical support forums. People can be=20
hotheads and still eager (and competent) to help others with their Linux=20
problems. Until the new feature was introduced, banning resulted in a ful=
