The Commission presented a proposal yesterday for Digital Travel Credentials ec.europa.eu/commission/pressc…

With "digitalisation" the border check can be reduced from 30 to 8 seconds. BUT.. to save 22 seconds, people must

- Install an eu-LISA app
- Scan their passport (NFC) and do an annoying liveliness check
- Send their passport data and #biometrics to a central server with all the privacy risks that entail
- Manually enter additional travel route info

Is that making our travel easier? (NO)

GNOME Triple Buffering May Need To Be Re-Engineered - Helping NVIDIA Performance

The long-in-development GNOME triple buffering support that is patched into the Ubuntu and Debian builds and available for years in patch form might need to undergo a redesign. That's to better accommodate the NVIDIA Linux driver and likely help other non-Mesa graphics drivers too...

So in principle Linux needs to build fully:

1. In GCC
2. In LLVM

This because there is need to be agile and robust with toolchains and it is higher priority than language support.

And the existing problem with Rust is that a kernel compiles either with:

1. In GCC + LLVM
2. In LLVM

This blocks Rust features from defconfigs, which simply mean that they cannot turned by default on.

Fixing this problem is more important than fixing any other possible problem with Rust because it is environmental constraint.

This is exactly why gccrs is important and it is good to see substantial progress being made:

lwn.net/Articles/991199/

The progress in gccrs factor over any Rust code in kernel in my opinion because it enables the *production value* for it.

PS. Just wanted to point out the actual issue because I did not spot anything at all from Plumbers :-) Weird because this is something that actually matters, not the stuff how people feel about programming language X.

Does any self-hosted Slack alternative exist that's actually good for using with non-technical people? #oss #opensource



This is the question i made on the Linux mint discord yesterday. If someone has an answer, i could at least use that, even if a bit blurry.

And in a delicious piece of You Reap What You Sow, one of the main reasons all these people of faith will sit out the election is because they feel the election will be rigged and their vote won’t be counted correctly! LOL!

Tiger in Town by Robin Darius Conz (Germany)

This image focuses on a tiger on an Indian hillside against the backdrop of a town where forests once grew. The protected areas in the Western Ghats, where tigers are carefully monitored, are some of the most biodiverse landscapes in India and have a stable population of tigers.
