9·5 days agoMy guess, there’s a rust project out there reimplementing curl in rust and that’s where development efforts are concentrated. Probably replacing parts of curl with Rust is more work than its worth.
1·6 days agoDoes this mean that watching a video could pwn you?
Good grief. People like this Chris dude hold progress back. I’ll keep banging the drum (to be heard by not a single kernel dev, but anyway): the linux kernel need 90% of the Linux Foundation’s funding, not a mere 2%. There should be so many people wanting to be a maintainer that people who openly declare that they want to get in the way like this are easier to remove.
You can help finance them on OpenCollective, but it doesn’t say how much they need. There’s only a projection of how much people might donate annually based on current donations (~1k). Took them a long time to setup Open Collective…
My eyes are on Rust in the kernel. Once it’s there and off mailinglists, I can see myself contributing. Rust is a sign of hope that things can change.
As in the solution should use systemd i.e no “just
sudo mount --bind -o ro /src /dstbro”. Then when Isudo -u $serviceUser cat $mountPath, it should output the contents of the file instead of just nothing.
gstreamer has confused me for ages. Is it built on top of ffmpeg or an alternative?
These poisoned projects would be shared via places like Gitlab.
Gitlab? You sure? Not GitHub?
About time. Could’ve been done way earlier.
NVIDIA is a billion (maybe trillion now?) dollar company that leaves it up to people in their free time to support their hardware on linux and you’re blaming the unpaid devs, not NVIDIA?
JavaFX has so far been my favorite framework to work with so maybe I’m just weird
I found Java Swing to be the easiest GUI framework to use. Never tried JavaFX. Would you call it an upgrade?
However statically compiling just doesn’t compare to using C and linking with the system libraries.
Rust does support dynamic linking (doc, stackoverflow), but AFAIK the crate has to explicitly be configured to do so (I might be mistaken though as I’ve never tried it). And from what I gather the rust ABI isn’t stable (which is a pity) so it’s “safer” to output a cdy-lib than a dy-lib.
Maybe in the future the rust ABI will be stabilized.
Like UI? Was that a hypothetical or a real example?
Yeah, I don’t understand the wayland and systemd hate. Personally, the alternatives are worse in many areas. managing services before systemd was terrible and I’m very happy it’s here. Making services depend on magic comments is a terrible system IMO. Can’t remember if that’s upstart or rinit or whatever.
Learning that the hard way 😂
Technically, it is a skill issue though, but requires borderline perfection to achieve safe code
If near perfection is the minimum to achieve a goal, then it can’t be a skill issue, IMO. But I agree with the rest. It’s a terrible argument that keeps getting repeated, not only for C but many other places in the tech world.
There’s a paper about this and with C as the baseline, Rust was 4% slower for the specific tests they ran.
In these tests, Rust is actually faster than C sometimes.
So it really does depend on the workload. However, the safety that rust provides cannot be understated. It’s easy to cut corners like in C, but it’s difficult to do it right. Rust provides the closest result of right and fast.
2·12 days agoI’m hoping email will be replaced by the protocol companies agree upon when the Digital Markets Act kicked in and forced interoperability between messaging clients. Once that happens, hopefully all we will need to share is
$usernameand be able to communicate using a secure protocol.When that will happens is another question though. I really thought implementation would’ve been done by now since Matrix already is the right protocol for interopability, but it looks like Facebook wants to or has already built a custom protocol with demands to track users 🙄 I hope the EU commission will have a word with them.
Tuta doesn’t support import mail for free users yet. They’re rolling it out for paying users first. There’s no timeline for free users.
What is the connection between your client and server? Is it wireless and going over the router first? Does it work with a direct, wired connection between client and server?
If your connection goes over your router, does your router have a DNS server? What options do you have for DNS config on your router?
