  • "Behold, a Linux maintainer openly admitting to attempting to sabotage the entire Rust for Linux project". Thoughts on this post from Marcan?

  • I do take it seriously and I think he's overreacting a little but he does make a reasonable point. Bringing 2 languages into the kernel does create a divide that can come with a maintenance burden. The burden is probably worth the benefits but it's still an additional burden and that is a valid concern IMO that should be properly addressed and argued with pros/cons rather than name calling and dismissal. Maybe he is acting in bad faith, but I feel like that should only be the conclusion drawn AFTER a reasonable attempt to talk things over has been made.

    Additionally assuming someone is acting in bad faith when they're not can make them jaded with the rust community and push them to actually acting with bad faith even if they weren't before.

    Regardless of the situation and whether he's acting in bad faith or not I feel like marcan's comments add nothing productive to the situation and that was my real point with the comment.

  • I'm personally on board with the comment left by @equinox@chaos.social. I think marcan is unnecessarily escalating this situation and I'd hardly describe Christoph's behavior as sabotage. He does appear to have a real technical concern regarding maintainability and I think discussing that concern is more productive than dismissing it and calling him a saboteur.

  • Huh that's actually pretty nifty, I personally use nemo but tbh I haven't inserted a CD I don't think ever to look at what it does

  • They were probably a variant of the unofficial format known as an MP3 CD. Basically CDs which contain computer audio files. CD Audio discs as specified by the redbook standard do not even have a filesystem and don't contain files.

  • Fun fact, wav != PCM. Wav is a Microsoft developed format that while most often contains PCM data can actually contain a wide variety of different audio formats including MP3 data. Yes, while rare, you can put MP3 audio into the wav container and have a .wav that is compressed. CDs also do not use the wav container for their audio and there are other file formats in addition to wav which can contain PCM including aiff and au

  • But CDs are lossless to start? Raw PCM is raw digital audio data, it's completely uncompressed lossless audio so transcoding to flac is the most sensible thing to do. The flac will just be transcoded back to raw PCM for output anyway, as raw PCM is what audio hardware accepts for playback.

  • Debian 15 Is Codenamed "Duke"

  • What's 14? 13 is still in testing so I'm surprised 15 has a name picked out

    EDIT: Click the article dumbass

  • Is a crash "completion"? If that's what we call complete that makes my life a lot easier on some projects 😅

  • While you aren't wrong I think you're kinda missing the spirit of the joke.

  • I'd probably do libsnorble and then snorblite, mainly just because I prefer C, don't mind source distribution and the rest sound cursed for one reason or another.

  • 🤔, I must not have the mind virus then as 127.0.0.1 does not loopback on my machines. Victory? Also I'd just like to point out that while hostnames can contain _ they're not supposed to as it's reserved for special purposes like SRV records.

  • It's funny because you can tell whoever wrote this has never run that command. You need to either put --no-preserve-root OR /*. Using /* obviates the need for the flag --no-preserve-root.
