I still don't understand why something so unstable and far from ready had to be put into the kernel upstream. How did Kent manage that? Is he really that good with words? Reading his messages on LKML, it really doesn't seem so. No-one is a god programmer, but was his code so convincing, his practices so good, his testing so thorough, that it being unstable could be ignored?

And now we have a new streaming service 🤔 Really nice.

I was thinking that by now, we should have enough bandwidth to stream webcams straight to each other without HLS or WebRTP or whatever. Just make the device available over a port or, as you did, cat it to another PC and voilà. Actually, why don't we stream raw camera feeds?

I hope they will do the same for the Fairphone 5. Being able to run Linux on it would be amazing. It would blow the librem5 and pretty much any other Linux phone out of the water.

The penny drops. Or as the Germans would say "Der Groschen ist gefallen".

What a surprise to think that reusing existing code instead of reinventing the wheel everytime would be beneficial and superior. It's like management is discovering the value of collaboration after wpouting their "synergy" crap for decades.

Rayon and dashmap were new to me. I have to look at CoW pointers. Not entirely sure I'll need CoW pointers but first I have to understand them.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice. Are there any other groups on Signal? Probably joining one allows you to meet people from other groups too.

In July 2024, the Spanish government developed a program called Cartera Digital Beta (“Digital Wallet Beta”), which will allow internet platforms to verify whether a potential porn viewer is 18 or older.

Would be no surprise if that were tied to Google in some way. Just like every dumb bank has to tie their services to Google wallet.

@darklang@mas.to why opensource it on GitHub instead of Codeberg or a similar platform?

Telegram, an essential communication tool for millions, finds itself under scrutiny once again. Copyright holders have long expressed concerns about the lack of enforcement on the platform, and recent actions suggest Telegram is responding. Subscribers to Z-Library's popular channel recently noticed that several of the shadow library's messages have been removed "due to copyright infringement."

 

These findings may also explain the "missing plastic problem" that has puzzled scientists, where about 70% of the plastic litter that has entered the oceans cannot be found. The team hypothesizes that coral may be acting as a "sink" for microplastics by absorbing it from the oceans. Their findings were published in the journal Science of the Total Environment.

 
 

A new study from the USC Viterbi School of Engineering researchers, along with researchers from the Institute de Physique du Globe de Paris at the University of Paris Cité, has found that the increase in soil erosion in coastal areas due to desertification is worsening flood impacts on Middle Eastern and North African port cities.

Radicle is an open source, peer-to-peer code collaboration stack built on Git. Unlike centralized code hosting platforms, there is no single entity controlling the network. Repositories are replicated across peers in a decentralized manner, and users are in full control of their data and workflow.

 

I've only found 2 in 1 / 2 monitors wide with aka 32:9. They call them "ultrawide" but IMO they should be called double wide monitors. Even the Samsung 57" Odyssey Neo G9 monitor, despite its size, is still just 32:9.

If they launch, the highlight of the mission will be the first spacewalk composed entirely of non-professional astronauts, who will be wearing sleek, newly developed SpaceX extravehicular activity (EVA) suits outfitted with heads-up displays, helmet cameras, and an advanced joint mobility system.

 

Linux maintainers are unwilling to get rust into the kernel, so some rust folks decided to start writing a new kernel with same ABI. This allows them to make new architectural decisions. An example being their "frame kernel" (something between a monolithic kernel and a microkernel).

If I may say, it's more legible and the tooling is way better, right off the bat.
