You can get Ampere boards or workstations today at pretty reasonable prices with high core counts:

That's actually so sick. I was originally considering dumping a ton of cash into a Raptor Blackbird for a Moloch worship ritual* (*IME / PSP)-free home server setup to upgrade from my current Pi5 RAID, but this looks both more affordable and more fun to put together. ARM is truly the huwyte (see: slavic) man's choice.

On that note, Turris Omnia or GLI Flint for an openWRT router? Ngl the price tag on the Omnia makes my kidneys hurt but so do proprietary blobs. I have also heard talk about using PC Engines APU boards as homespun routers, so if anyone's got experience with something like that, I'm all ears.

Mine eventually died. I switched to a generic Intel based quad gig 'firewall' box that's one of the 300 different ones on Amazon.
"Protectli Vault FW4B - 4 Port, Firewall Micro Appliance/Mini PC - Intel Quad Core, AES-NI, 4GB RAM, 32GB mSATA SSD" but there's hundreds of similar models, I think Beelink is another common one, not sure if they have a 4 port version.

I'm using PFsense still but I'd probably recommend OPNSense if starting now.

Can I get a quick rundown on these two fags, Faultlore/Gankra and Phantomderp, both trying to mess with the C committee.

I don't know anything about this drama or the Faultlore person, but I recognize Phantomderp (aka ThePhD, aka JeanHeyd Meneide). He's a black furry who was involved in some major Rust drama a couple years ago.

IIRC, he was scheduled to give a talk at an official Rust conference, but they downgraded it from being a keynote on short notice without giving a clear reason why, so he subtly accused the conference organizers of being racist and announced that he was going to stop contributing to Rust. This kicked up a little witchhunt, and the Rust troons eventually forced some guy to take the blame and resign from the Rust leadership committee. I don't think it was ever determined if the "racism" was real.

Dramaniggering is occuring in Rust (surprise, surprise):

https://www.jntrnr.com/why-i-left-rust/ (a)

Basically they invited someone to be a keynote speaker, the dude was like "are you sure really really" a few times, and then they downgraded him at somewhat like the last minute. Bonus! The dude who was downgraded is a PoC, and a rust purity spiral has begun!
JeanHeyd's take on the Rust conference is here:

The purity spirals continue.
The meltdown on r/rust is a riot.

It's almost like making things "safe", "friendly" and "compassionate" turns your place into a drama breeding ground, but hey, what do I know :story:

Also see the second half of this post: https://kiwifarms.st/threads/open-source-software-community.38130/post-16366982
And I think this was the conclusion:
Re: RustConf drama
Looks like the blame is largely being pushed onto a guy named Josh Triplett, although he basically claims to have just been the middleman who relayed Rust Leadership's "concerns" about the keynote speech to the Rust conference head organizer.
Triplett has stepped down from his leadership position and is no longer going to give a planned talk at the Rust conference. We'll see if that sates the bloodlust, although people are still demanded for heads to roll.
 
(Recent) Thoughts on Minifree? For being a schizo troon, it looks like Rowe has made some good strides with Libreboot by leveraging CVE-2017-5705, a buffer-overflow based exploit that allows you to run arbitrary code in the IME (Intel Management Engine / silicone-level Moloch worship ritual), which in turn can be used to disable Intel's Boot Guard and flash Libreboot. Their T480s are leaps and bounds better than what you could get back in the day, strongly considering getting one to upgrade my current rig.
 
GNU did an April Fools' funny

The GNU project is switching to Rust!​

I'm happy to announce that the prefered language in the GNU coding
standards, and the GNU maintainer guide, which for many years has been
C and Scheme, has been updated to Rust after just a single vote!

As part of this exciting new move, we ask all GNU maintainers to
update their systems on a daily basis to get all the latest features,
and continually rewrite things in the latest version of Rust.

The first project to have successfully moved to Rust is GNU Emacs,
using the amazing efficiency of LLMs (haLLuciating Machines) we have
optimized to something that can be distributed easily to all computer
users worldwide.

use std::process::Command;
Command::new("ed").args([""]).output().expect("failed to hallucinate
requested process")

The next version will have subtle changes in API, and ABI ...

The worst thing about the open source software community is the fact that half these people think people choose windows because they don't know how to program no here's the thing if you can't make a unusual interface similar to what everyone else is used to don't act surprised when they don't want to use your **** operating system
 
It appears GPU PhysX (including Flow) has been fully open sourced (BSD-3) last week.
The first thing I thought when I heard this is it might shine some hope on a bunch of old games getting open sourced. I imagine the majority of old games are encumbered with proprietary middleware, knee-capping efforts to get old games and engines open source. Wishful thinking, but hopefully this starts a trend. Especially with C&C getting open sourced.

"Gankra" is a Rust contributor and blog/documentation writer. Other than being, well, a troon and all the associated lunacy that comes with it, his work is generally decent - but outshadowed by the fucking walls of text he publishes out of some desire to be recognized or something.

He did work on Rust's stdlib (collections specifically, IIRC), notably is the publisher/editor of the Rustonomicon (an official(-ish?) Rust doc that deals with unsafe and general low-level bits of the language), and also maintains a blog where he posts generally interesting articles about programming (and Rust in particular). If you can deal with the editorial tone, which can sometimes get on one's nerves.

The sad part (isn't there always), at least that I'm aware of, is that the man can't keep his fucked up kinks out of his work on Rust and its docs. I don't have the time to dig through all the posts again, but I'll just present this snippet without comment, where he very professionally explains how generic container writers can deal with fallible destructors in user-provided types: https://faultlore.com/blah/everyone-poops/#pre-pooping-your-pants

Also, this chap has recursive powerwords ffs...
  • He now goes by "Aria Desires" (christ on a fucking bike... can't make this shit up; who the fuck names themselves like this...), this one is kinda recent. Must've changed it to untie himself from his actual surname? Dunno.
  • First recorded troon name is "Aria Beingessner" (link), this is what he went by for many years.
  • Actual powerword: "Alexis Beingessner" (link). Interestingly I recall him being deadnamed in a blog post by his crush Ralf Jung (an academic who works on some aspects of the Rust lang and whose knob Alexis consistently and sloppily sucks in every blog post he writes), but now I can't for the life of me find which one.
Don't have anything more on him. I haven't really been keeping tabs, but at one point I did read the entirety of his blog because it is generally interesting. Don't know any other drama he may be involved in online, but I'm mostly disconnected from anything Rust-adjacent these days.

Edit: ah, he's also the author of the infamous "cargo-mommy"... project...? whatever you want to call it. I'll just link it and leave the eye bleach nearby, in case you've never seen it before: https://github.com/Gankra/cargo-mommy

NSFW Features


Good pet~ ❤️


All of mommy's NSFW content is hidden behind extra moods, see below~

Interesting, he dramaniggered rust up.
About C, is we gettin defer.
The gaynigger from outer Furcon may have caused Rust drama, but his work for the C committee has been pretty good, so hold thumbs. It'll be a long road, though, and in the meanwhile it's already available to some extent as compiler-specific functionality - GCC's __attribute__((cleanup(...))) would be my go-to example.

Is there like no middle ground with programmers like every programmer I know is either a transgender or a national socialist or some sort of degenerate weirdo is a no program which were just like normal functioning adults

I've done the PC Engines thing, but unfortunately they're going out of business.
