@AsahiLinux I'd be eager to install Asahi for my leisure time Mac mini but not sure how huge dance it is as of today to get it on external drive. I have one of those docks that stack nicely and has M.2 slot :-)

@9names Mastodon is weird but yeah I'll do the same put the target JSON-files to the project root. Thanks for psychological support with this :-)

@pinkforest Not relate to my question but pretty interesting solution. So what would make one do it like this instead of "rust-toolchain.xml"?

@9names yea so this what i obviously do too for the moment :-) just checking if there was a nice directory e.g. under .cargo where you could put them and tools would find them. just an ocd thing ;-)

You'd expect some lookup directory to exist within project hierarchy...

@illtud @vathpela @textfiles i'd figure that archive.org has pretty good backup strategy because it is an archive :-) and it is public information to begin with so not much collateral can be done.

makes me wonder who would waste time on it tbh...

I need to do a custom parser/validator for DWARF for which I'm using gimli crate as basis, which is just low-level reader and writer but not much else (which is great).

I know the basics of the tree structure is laid out, where to find specs, dwarfdump etc. but further, is there any other recommended reading about DWARF that I should look up for?

One topic specific question, in DWARF terminology what is the difference between "subroutine" and "subprogram"?

Any idea if there is a standard location in Rust project directory where to deploy JSON file for a target? I have a situation where there is a profile variant of RISC-V that is only supported by nightly of rustc but I also need to create my own target JSON with project specific customization's. Tried to look up if e.g.<project/.cargo/** would have a place but could not find anything from Internet.

Is archive.org actually breached? #infosec

@Aissen @kdave And my personal experience is that for the reasons I have no idea cloud and enterprise is vastly better represented in the upstream open source. So this needs to be weighted with these problems.

@kdave @Aissen I don't know if you've dealt with embedded ever but reasons might be simply that you have some weird toolchain in that area and no target for rustc at the point of time. However you are able to convince the embedded company an upgrade their toolchain to a newer GCC. In that case the legit Rust support in GCC might be overall bring the whole Rust ecosystem to a portfolio of devices.

Often people who think that it is just some weird ideological/artificial nonsense to be concerned about the details in toolchains, are people who mostly work in cloud companies or cloud customers :-) I fully get that for Microsoft/Google/Meta/Oracle etc. these issues I'm talking about are artificial. But embedded world... it is a world of unimaginable insanity when it comes to toolchains, and exactly this attention to detail in toolchain robustness has kept Linux a top embedded multitasking operating system for decades already :-)

I.e I'm not worried of your cloud, I'm worried of your coffee maker and shit like that ;-)

Occasionally I watch random videos from Youtube and I've noticed that there is this geek/dev influencer scene. No comments on videos themselves but why they all look same and have the same mustache? It's funny tho don't mind...

@Aissen @alerque Also, and this is just my personal belief: overall for any language having multiple compilers is a hallmark really and makes it more like an ecosystem, and seals it as an established programming language. It has existentially sealed itself. Two compilers can cause sometimes friction but that also governs the decision making process for the language so that any future decisions will be done with more consideration. I.e. better quality decisions with the price of perhaps a bit slower progress.

some new planned fixes for tpm bus encrypt not yet sent to lkml. things on my side are delayed given the job change but i hope and think that within the current rc cycle. desktop use case and server use have somewhat differing needs and attack vectors
