1 line of code?

Amateur, I changed 1 byte of code in the Linux kernel!

It was random driver with something along the lines of "if (hardware_version > 3) fail()".

One day we got a new shipment of hardware that wasn't working for some reason until I upped that 3 to a 4.

That's 3 bits, from 00110011 to 00110100. Can anyone top that?

[–] Wilzax@lemmy.world 91 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I've changed 0 bits of the kernel

Someone needs to hit us with "I convinced someone to not contribute to the kernel"

Linus does this well enough on his own, he doesnt need help

Myself, because I'm stupid with coding.

If you revert a change that's negative bits. You can do it!
