I’ve used TeamViewer for this for a long time (including recently). It’s not as good as it once was, but still decent.

I'm *very* excited to report that we got initial funding and have hired our first Rust maintainers!

RustNL's Rust Maintainers Team starts out with two full time maintainers, one intern, and five part-time maintainers, now stably employed to continue their work on Rust! 🎉

Release 0.26.0 · hickory-dns/hickory-dns 13 months after the release of 0.25.0, we finally have a bigger feature release of Hickory DNS, the suite of DNS libraries and authoritative/recursive name servers written in pure Rust. A lot of wo...

After 13 months of work, today we released Hickory DNS 0.26.0 (our memory-safe DNS libraries and server), which should be more robust, faster and easier to use correctly. Detailed release notes are here:

Google shoehorned Rust into Pixel 10 modem to make legacy code safer Cellular modems are complex black boxes of legacy code, but Google is making them safer with Rust.

That little DNS project I started about 10 years ago is making some news with Google! This is definitely because so many people have jumped in to help contribute here. Special call out to @djc.ochtman.nl who’s picked up a huge amount of slack for me in the last year.

From an LLD maintainer: “wild is worth calling out separately: its user time is comparable to lld's but its system time is roughly half, and its parse phase is 4-8x faster than either of the C++ linkers.”

Do some manual verification and file all of them? Want to collaborate?

Also, I think we might have made some progress on -proto code size in the 0.26 beta releases, would be great to get your feedback before a final release.

Do you think there might be budget within the Android org to help sustain future Hickory DNS development? Right now my own PRs are stuck waiting for review because there’s limited review capacity.

Very cool to see that Google is using Hickory DNS (which I help maintain) to power DNS message parsing in the Pixel firmware!

Reviewing those PRs does indeed seem like a short while ago…

This woman is facing a copyright claim for her own music by an AI company that took her youtube page and copied her.

So are you going to build all the apps, too? I guess the agents make it a little less crazy than before…

So on some projects I’m happy to squash merge for you. But, GitHub’s merge queue doesn’t allow per-PR merge mode control and is generally desirable for other reasons, so on projects where the merge queue is in use (like rustup), I ask contributors to do that step.

I have not actually used it, and generally still use macOS because the Linux desktop has felt like a comparatively bad experience. But not sure how much of that is the DE itself vs GTK/toolkit and the apps…

Have you looked at Cosmic?

An update on rustls performance: it’s still pretty fast.

A Cryptography Engineer’s Perspective on Quantum Computing Timelines The risk that cryptographically-relevant quantum computers materialize within the next few years is now high enough to be dispositive, unfortunately.

Two papers came out last week that suggest classical asymmetric cryptography might indeed be broken by quantum computers in just a few years.

That means we need to ship post-quantum crypto now, with the tools we have: ML-KEM and ML-DSA. I didn't think PQ auth was so urgent until recently.
