7️⃣ Here's the 7th installment of posts highlighting key new features of the upcoming v257 release of systemd.

The graphical login prompt you see when your computer boots up is a sensitive UI: typically, when starting to work, without much thinking you'll type in your username and password, expecting it log you in and provide you with your desktop session. However, what if someone just opened a website in a browser in full screen mode with contents that just *looks* like your login screen, …

Trump does not have a follower but also: now that he gets his four years that zeros out "what if" speculation. History will remember him with brutal honesty now and he won't get martyr reputation, which could be the accelerator for a follower.

If he had lost, his influence might had radiated longer to the future.

I'd drop VR headset with porn subscriptions cargo from planes to these wankers (not even joking):

why wifi is so sensitive? year and decade after it always seem to oops. not blaming anyone really just wondering...

it's not usually even wpa supplicant but straight up kernel oops...

i mean it can be hardware/acpi/firmware etc. that causes this...

Or maybe WiFi is a feature that we should rewrite with Rust? I mean regular oops is at least evidence of regular memory corruption. Even my non-geek friends seem to "know" that Linux always blows on suspend, so it is also kind of a "brand issue", at least in non-Android client use cases.

I'm going to Barcelona next month to the end of year party of the company I'm a contractor for to eat some tapas and get drunk enough to at least temporarily forget the deepness of shit we're at in this world led by tyrants.

This is I think the last remaining KNOWN (cannot say anything about unknowns obviously) performance regression with the TPM2 bus encryption: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/20241107004708.108667-1-jarkko@kernel.org/

I'm pretty satisfied since the feature landed to 6.10. Couple of point releases to fix the performance regressions is totally normal, in the case of larger architectural change.

Compiling C software:

- 5 seconds codegen
- 30 seconds compiling C code
- 1 second linking
- 34 hours of autotools checking whether it's running in a universe where 2+2=4

ace, no immediate need for threadripper build machine: i can get surprsingly fast rust builds with apple m2 mini pro and asahi linux (12 cores, 32 GB RAM) :-) i'll revisit build machine problem next year...

A small PR for keyring, did not make much sense to hold these back: https://lore.kernel.org/keyrings/D5FB9PK9DD35.1B1VBVMPOZPRS@kernel.org/

At least voiced by our current government, and more broadly shared by the whole political spectrum: Finland will continue to support Ukraine as long as it takes.

It's called talvisodan henki aka "the spirit of the winter war".

Bad jokes aside here's the ONLY positive thing I see in Trump winning.

It's the last season of Apprentice and psychopaths usually don't have competitive followers. E.g. J.D. Vance would not stand a chance without being a sidekick of Trump.

The other side of the coin is unfortunately that psychopaths like to take down the whole world, once they go down.

So, if the world can mitigate the next four years, there will be light at the end of the tunnel.

I think it's going to be more important than ever that #Mastodon and the #fediverse are not centrally operated out of the US like almost every other social media platform out there.

Good job America! "The extra 4 GtCO₂ₑ from a second Trump term [will] negate – twice over – all of the savings from deploying wind, solar and other clean technologies around the world over the past five years."

Europe followed the US into Afghanistan. Then US voters elected Trump and he pulled the plug.

Europe let the US lead the defence of Ukraine. And now US voters have voted for Trump, who wants Putin to win.

Europe has centered it's security politics around a US led NATO, and American voters have now voted for Trump, who wants to pull out of NATO.

It is time for a stronger, more capable, and fully independent Europe.

For our generation, this is our Churchill moment — it is time to lead.

"mold is a faster drop-in replacement for existing Unix linkers. It is several times quicker than the LLVM lld linker, the second-fastest open-source linker, which I initially developed a few years ago. mold aims to enhance developer productivity by minimizing build time, particularly in rapid debug-edit-rebuild cycles."

Fedora should really have sccache in the main package repository. Seems to be quite essential for developing with Rust. It can also carry ccache tasks for C.
