  • Ubuntu 25.10's Move To Rust Coreutils Is Causing Major Breakage For Some Executables

    Jump

  • This isn't a rage bait comment. Show me one Rust tool replacement made that didn't alter functionality in some way, causing edge cases, and sometimes even mainline usage, to break and scripts have to be written to accommodate. I've not seen it yet. If you have, I will gladly stand corrected. The language is great, it's the programmers at issue.

  • Oh, it's not the language. It's the type of people who not only like Rust, but have a compulsion / need / fixation on re-writing existing tools. They say it's so it's more secure, but honestly it's so they can apply their own opinions of how the tool should be. They always promise to make it a drop in replacement, but then then get rid of options, or change what they do... they can't help themselves. And that is the kind of people who volunteer to port tools to Rust. If they would stick to true 1:1 replacement, this wouldn't be an issue.

  • I warned ya. Rust folks never make a true 1:1 replacement. They have to tweek it. Always.

  • TIL tar keeps permissions of the files and directories archived if possible.

    Jump

  • For those wishing they could do that with zip and 7zip, you can add a permissions file to the archive that you first make with getfacl, and then on the target after extracting said archive, restore permissions and ownership with setfacl from that file.

    Handy for certain support organizations that insist on a zip but that later want the permissions. (Looking at you SAP and IBM).

  • Noone told me about systemctl suspend. I had to accidently learn about it from the arch pages. My battery is happy now, and you all will never be forgiven for your silence. That is all.

  • What problems does Linux have to overcome to get more users

    Jump

  • It needs to shed the gamers and get more useful users.

  • Please, FOSS world, we need something like ChromeOS

    Jump

  • It's already in datacentres all over the world. It's the primary server platform. Linux doesn't need to succeed more broadly, it already has. If you're talking about Windows users and gamers... we are way better off without those simple people.

  • No, we shouldn't be encouraging people to use tools they don't bother to understand how to use.

  • When you say proprietary drivers, I assume that means they are only available for x86_64 platform... leaving ARM64/aarch64 devices, like Pi's and such, out of luck?

    Something I've experienced with similar printer drivers. Hence the ask.

  • It matters. He must not be allowed to go quickly or peacefully. He must be tortured live on the internet until it takes him. I won’t be happy with anything less. After all, it’s the cruelty that matters.
