  • 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.

    In Portugal we have a couple of these stores but I really don’t understand how they stay alive. I went there once with a sealed 60 euro, recent, game for a console I didn’t down. They offered me 15 euros and were selling used copies for 55 euros. Why on earth would I buy or sell for those prices?

    We used to have GAME stores everywhere and they occasionally had really nice deals. I loves those stores, it’s a shame they went bankrupt.

    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.



  • I had a teacher who was really passionate about Ubuntu and was distributing Ubuntu 5/6 live CDs. I ended up installing it on my laptop. It was a pretty miserable experience. Everything was ugly as hell, configuring the sound card was a pain, Wi-Fi drivers had constant problems, upgrades to the new x.04/x.10 version borked the system 100℅ of the time. Pretty miserable but got the job done.

    Nowadays the experience is much, much smoother. Just ensure you don’t need exclusive software.
