@ljs We neither have Putinist wing in politics. Even furthest right is pro-Ukraine (which I'm actually proud of).

@ljs We've never been worried, we've only prepared since WW 2 🤷 I guess that was one reason why Finland transition to NATO was so fast, as we already have a huge military budget (latest purchase was David's Sling air defense system from Israel). It has kept peace on the east border...

@triskelion 1. You bump into a bug. 2. Download source code. 3. Locate the bug. 4. Fix the bug.

Covers all open source projects. I was working in the dark past with Nokia's Symbian, then moved to Linux middle-ware and sort of evolution took me where I am now.

10 years closing as kernel maintainer (if I recall correctly my first update to MAINTAINERS was 16th day of this month 2014).

My philosophy when it comes to other developers, maintainers etc. is that:

1. No one is smarter or better than me.
2. I'm not smarter or better than anyone else.

As a developer I'm interested on other topics than kernel at the moment (could change, my plan is always no plan) although I have a few feature patch sets ongoing even ATM (e.g. TPM2 signers last updated April) but for most part I review, pick patch sets, and occasionally fix bugs. When it comes to kernel sec I'm the guy who is jack of all trades and master of none ;-)

So here's to next 10 year of madness 🍻

@AsahiLinux ya for me it's the gits that eat all the space (and builds from them) :-) so full home migration is better idea (and not that difficult to implement).

@AsahiLinux OK I thanks for detailed info!

And relocating home partition to the external is not actually such a bad workaround so putting that into consideration :-) That's anyway were the space is mostly consumed in a desktop.

@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 :-)

@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"?
