For a language constantly voted as most desired for x number if years in a row (stackoverflow survey), there are now quite a few developers actively working with Rust full-time and paid. I think it’s in top 20 languages by now.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this, but there are collegues that I consider friends, and wouldn’t want them to suffer the workload increase. Either way I still have some patience and not yet ready to jump ship.

Thanks for the suggestion, friend.

Aren’t the removed commiters with direct access to the kernel? It’s not like it’s some rando that makes pull requests.

I guess it’s difficult to otherwise explain the position you have? It’s not like people face criminal charges in Russia just for speaking against it. It’s easy to see how the state would want to introduce backdoors to most western systems.

It’s extremely sad that a lot of good Russians get swooped in this. But even abroad their lives are in danger to fight the state.

I’m pretty sure not just the US wants Russia sanctioned to the oblivion. All of the Europe that borders Russia wants that. Now why would it be like that?

Even if you can objectively see the name as just a name, many people sadly can’t. It is really difficult to recommend others to join, just because they come with the idea that it’s a minecraft clone and since it’s not a clone it feels janky.

I’m glad they dropped the name for something new.

As per systemctl(1) manual:

If --force is specified twice, the operation is immediately executed without terminating any processes or unmounting any file systems. This may result in data loss. Note that when --force is specified twice the halt operation is executed by systemctl itself, and the system manager is not contacted. This means the command should succeed even when the system manager has crashed.

Great build for a gaming PC. For a server it looks odd. Usually when building a server, your main concern is reliability. Everything goes in pairs. Two CPUs, Two PSUs… It gets tedious fast. Often weaker but much more energy efficient parts are prefered, since unused CPU and RAM is considered wasted.

It would be much more helpful if you have a usecase you’re building it for (since now I really can’t comment too much on the build). If your primary concern is to try to have a home server, I’d say go for it. You can always upgrade/downgrade down the line.

Left is a flower, right is a praying mantis if I understand it correctly

Second minetest. With the multiple games inside it’s addictive. Not to mention that with 65k blocks depth my inner dwarven desire to dig is finally quenched

Burn baby burn! Love how the re-entry test was practically useless, due to the starship spinning like crazy due to random leak on the side.

The Enderbrain!!!

Gecko was pretty shit performance wise until Firefox quantum in 2017. Back then even Apple decided it’s better to use webkit for it’s browser.

It’s difficult to say exact reasons for each browser. But for Chrome enjoying the dominant position before that, it was better to jump on Chromium as base just for better compatibility with most websites.

Tooling followed soon after

Each package creates a new generation of your operating system. One of the heaviest pains in using a rolling distro is that one day some core part of your system comes crashing down. You can roll back to previous version on a whim.

Each user has it’s own manager, so you can have multiple versions of a same library. It is not containerized software (docker), so you do get those native speeds. Biggest problem is the disk space use, since unless no one uses a package, you can’t garbage collect it.

Other beauty is since the installation is based on a config file it’s trivial to have the full setup on multiple devices. (Much easier than hand rolled installation shell script)

Always wanted to try it out, although after quite some reading went for Guix. They both are more or less same design. The package manager is so powerful it seems like cheating.
