  • Just go ahead and write a very basic working kernel in rust.

    I don’t get this stance, really. If I want to write a driver in Rust I should start by creating a completely new Kernel and see if it gains momentum? The idea of allowing Rust in kernel drivers is to attract new blood to the project, not to intentionally divert it to a dummy project.

    Rust is sufficiently different that you cannot expect C developers to learn rust to the level they have mastered C

    If you watch the video, no one asked anything from the C developers other than documentation. They just want to know how to correctly make the Rust bindings.

    Note that Rust is not replacing C code in the Kernel, just an added option to writing drivers.





  • I’m not really invested in Cosmic, I’m happy with Hyprland and will continue to use it.

    I do think they did a REALLY nice job with the tiling. I don’t think you can find a more intuitive and user friendly tiling window manager. Something that’s not absolute barebones out of box and can be configured entirely with a GUI. In that regard it does bring something to the mix and is very very welcome.

    I’ve been using Proton Pass and it has been a game changer for me. Hot take: I think Proton Pass is Proton’s best service.

    It creates not only a unique password for each service but also a unique email address alias. If a website leaks my email address and I get spam, I know exactly who did it and I only need to swap 1 login credential.

    Has a built-in 2FA and passkeys. Works great in the browser with proper auto complete, even for the 2FA code. Works fine on Android and password in both browser and applications get autocomplete.

    Proton Pass can be used by everyone, regardless of their technical level, in every device. My mom could easily use this across all her devices. I’m told Keepass is fantastic but having it sync across all her devices would be challenging for her.

    Most Proton services feel kinda underbaked but Proton Pass is excellent.


  • You can export all your passwords to an encrypted and password protected file. I ocasionally back it up to a USB device so that I always have an offline copy available.

    Still, one of these days I was logged out of my proton pass on Android and couldn’t connect to the internet. I was locked down.







  • The problem with that logic is that this failure was not caused by Microsoft, it was caused by ClownStrike. Their software works on Windows and Linux (not sure about Mac) and they fucked up the linux software a few weeks before the Microsoft incident.

    Even if Linux had more market share in the affected endpoints they would still have been affected, just on different timelines I guess.
