If I feel bad, I always look at what @servo has been doing lately. Usually it's like "we leveled up the performance" or "we are in par with CSS" and similar. Really happy to see how things are going for that project. Looks like a healthy open source community to me!

@pinkforest @Kijewski My Rust "hate feedback" when it comes to kernel has been lately like:

1. "even if it is Rust we love also first in class commit messages"
2. "even if it is Rust I still need to be able to test this, not just compile"

I love Rust too but I still also love the best practices if of the ancient era :-) I commit to yelling on these until they start to be the status quo... It's called governance 🕶

@pinkforest It's like "LaTeX for engineers"

Word is for managers, LaTeX is for scientists and there has been an empty "for Engineers" slot to fill up until Typst came out :-)

It also has Beamer alike package called Polylux: https://github.com/polylux-typ/polylux

For me this was love at first sight at least.

I do use sometimes AI in a browser.

I use it by asking it to write for me a summary that I can put then to hackmd. For instance, "write me summary of this or that NixOS attribute and create a markdown document". Asking it write code takes more time because it is never fully what I expect. By writing a summary of option I gain understanding of the topic and learn something.

This way I save tons of times and AI provides me food for mind. I'm always critical but never a denialist :-)

... and I knowingly write my code slow. Never used even the old school auto-complete because it was already a fucking distraction.

I've read a few times that "times were better when people used just Stack Overflow".

I never even fully got on board for that era and I still have a job...

I read books.

@lkundrak blessings u too bro :-) jesus might be the lord but satan is my wingman

The smallest-ever force field map of nature.

Physicists have mapped the forces acting inside a #proton, showing in unprecedented detail how #quarks—the tiny #particles within—respond when hit by high-energy #photons.

The new result breaks down #space and #time into a fine grid, allowing simulating how the strong force—the fundamental interaction that binds quarks into #protons and #neutrons—varies across different regions inside the proton.

With a simple `podman login` and `podman push` you can push containers from your local machine to your #forgejo instance, so you can use said containers on other machines as Forgejo also is an OCI-compliant container registry :) And now you can use these containers to build even more software with forgejo Actions and don't worry about Docker limiting traffic from their registry ;)

I used Foot almost exactly a year before this :-) Kitty image protocol is the thing in this w/o having to use Kitty (which I dislike).

Now I tried Ghostty for the first time and IBM Plex looks amazing on it ;-)

So i guess it is a switch...

Neither Satan gets a free pass from my screening ;-)

Rust kernel patches should really level up on commit messages and not merging random code with zero callers.

I welcome Rust but disobey not doing right things right :-)

If a commit message does not by practical means exist except some generic mumbling that would be best to be deleted. How do we e.g. know that a commit is not AI generated and unchecked by the author? If we don't know that we have objectively engineered a security leak as that can be eweaponized.

That is really dangerous type of trust. I'd just like check and not trust. Even if a patch would come from some ultra famous figure like Linus, Greg or even God himself, I'd still like to check, not believe the authority and based on that draw my OWN conclusions.

I actually do not even mind if some random patch would be AI generated. Use any tool you see fit. It is just that the commit message verifies that you UNDERSTAND what you are doing.

#linux #kernel #rust #rustlang

#SELinux must be awesome today because I've forgotten that it even exists in my system ;-)

@securepaul

I have not yet found this working too well but I did star the project, and will follow from the audience, and occasionally browse the issue database:

https://github.com/fossable/goldboot

Especially when you need tailored VM's and kernel's there's room for new shit so I hope the developer has patience with this, and continues push it forward.

I'd like to contribute too but right now I'm starting on a new job week after that plus I really want to finish up with video-loop.ko :-)

#goldboot #vm #image #build

Just found about Terra.

@orva Also one quite technical angle that came to mind: more often than not these type of people tend to push features over having legit processes for security (CVE's etc.). In infosec ignorance towards other people is not a great quality in a person.

It's pretty much the same deal that you don't want to police officers to be crazy psychopaths :-)
