I don't know who is this guy but I fully and 100% agree with he says:

What can I say, in my opinion FOSDEM sucks. Good to see that there are other people with some common sense.

A decision to cancel also Mozilla's keynote would have at least shown some integrity in the decision making. Not claiming that integrity is completely lost but at least it would be morally and ethically right to admit that this did not go well.

Pre-order without even reading the sample chapter:

I would pay 200 for this one TBH even.

Attached to NT kernel ;-)

Preparatory steps:

  1. winget install microsoft.windbg
  2. Reboot and disable secure boot.
  3. bcdedit -debug on
  4. Reboot.

I just mastered Windows kernel debugging and learned how to dig globally all environment data from EPROCESS globally in the system using WinDbg :-)

It can side-effect free (except slowing down) to intervene process creation of NT kernel. I'll post the script as I test it more.

Victory in debugging after two weeks. Now I have at least proper weapons to nail the build issue in PolkaVM guest programs.

The most important skill to write e.g. Windows drivers for what is worth but also do global system tracing.

I tried all other methods but they all suck in some way.

As much I dislike Windows I have to admit that this brings me weird satisfaction ;-)

Sort of like saying GoogleMaps worked well until we tried to find the Gulf of Mexico?

Any known examples in open source products doing the following pattern with Rust:

1. You have a Rust crate that you compile to you compile as usual host-to-host.
2. You have a build.rs that spawns cargo to a directory with rust-toolchain.xml defining nightly target.
3. You pass options (e.g. --target) for cargo to compile for a different target than the host.

Obviously Command is used to create the process together with current_directory() to change the directory to the one with Cargo.toml and rust-toolchain.xml. It is not a sub-crate per se topologically but a disjoint crate.

In Linux and macOS this can be made to work. With Windows cargo is acting like --target etc. options did not exist at all and ignores rust-toolchain.xml.

Any ideas how to make this type of pattern work?

Lessons learned from capturing Windows environment variables of launched processed with Python.

1. WMI: it's difficult path for short living processes. I could not make this work. Either I run into privilege issues or I have a racy monitoring.
2. sysmon: This is the way to go. Period ;-)

I will never try WMI again, that's for sure. And luckily Windows build issues are not every day thing...

Hi, I'm Jordan Mechner, creator of Prince of Persia. I've written and drawn a nonfiction graphic novel, "Replay."

It's a memoir of my four decades making games, interwoven with three generations of my family's back story.
(And yes, it has the bit where I videotape my brother in our NY high school parking lot in 1985.)

Check it out (links, reviews, and excerpts) at https://jordanmechner.com/en/books/replay
