Google has recently implemented two-factor authentication for user accounts.

Since then, Linus Torvalds decided to use GitHub as the master repository for the whole kernel (here the announcement), and kernel.org has been down for a long time. This has broken some of my old tutorials on this blog. In my tutorials, I […]
