🦀 Rust Is Looking For Your Feedback To Help Guide Its Future
@phoronix

「 The Rust Vision Survey announced today has goals of working to understand where Rust is at today and to identify high-level areas where the project should be going as they move forward. It's a non-goal to figure out specific designs or feature recommendations but they are looking at higher-level aspects as they look at Rust moving into the future 」

Just found out about this little gem of a program/addon/extension

it's a drop-in replacement video player for streaming video's online.

It won't work with videos that have DRM, this is intentional, but in other cases it gives a nice full-featured player, that will attempt to download the full video in the background, using multiple connections, to avoid any buffering.

Die Deutsche Verwaltungscloud (DVC) soll Behörden digital souverän machen – doch der Bund bleibt außen vor: Die „Netze des Bundes“ sind veraltet und technisch nicht kompatibel. Laut einer Anfrage der Linken fehlen Konzepte, Netz- und Cloud-Architekturen strategisch zu verbinden. Der geplante Umbau soll bis 2030 dauern. Anke Domscheit-Berg kritisiert das als schwerwiegenden Fehler und bemängelt fehlende Leitlinien für Cloud-Entscheidungen. Die Cloudausgaben des Bundes stiegen 2024 auf 286 Mio. €, doch Open Source spielt weiter kaum eine Rolle. Dabei zeigen BKA und ZITiS, dass Open-Source-Software Sicherheit fördern kann. Domscheit-Berg warnt zudem vor Abhängigkeiten von US-Hyperscalern: 32 Dienste seien bereits im Einsatz, meist ohne echte Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung. Digitale Souveränität müsse höchste Priorität erhalten – als Kanzlerangelegenheit.

> "... it is important to note that the compression algorithm used by lzip only discards the unimportant data. And if it was unimportant before, what makes it so important now? Huh? In fact, many users may find that compressing their entire file system and then restoring it will be a good way to learn what is truly important."
