You just referenced two languages that don’t have proper sum types. lol.
Also mentioning Microsoft tech while a certain world event is taking place right now. lol.
Gitorious-ed too fast.
Let’s see if you’ll get a team around federation now.
What’s needed is renewed ethos, not just fresh blood.
What’s needed is people who actually like the projects, on the technical level, and use them daily. Not people who are just trying to maintain an open-source “portfolio” they can showcase in pursuit of landing big corpo job.
A “portfolio” which also needs to, in their mind, project certain culture war prioritizations and positionings that are fully inline with the ones corpos are projecting.
It will be interesting to see how much of the facade of morality will remain if these corpo projections change, or when the corpo priorities and positionings, by design, don’t care, at best, about little unimportant stuff like American-uniparty-assisted genocide! We got to see murmurs of that in the last few months.
Will the facade be exposed, or will it simply change face? What if a job was on the line?
I’m reminded of a certain person with the initials S.K, who was a Rust official, and a pretend Windows-user in hopes of landing a Microsoft job (he pretty much said as much). He was also a big culture-war-style moral posturer. And a post-open-source world hypothesiser.
Was it weird for such a supposed moral “progressive” to be a big nu-Microsoft admirer? and one who used his position to push for the idea that anyone who maintained a classical open-source/free-software position towards Microsoft is a fanatic? No, it wasn’t. He was one of many after all.
All these things go hand in hand. And if you think this is a derailing comment that went way off the rails, then I hope you maintain the same position about the effects of all this on the open-source and free-software world itself.
While pure Python code should work unchanged, code written in other languages or using the CPython C API may not. The GIL was implicitly protecting a lot of thread-unsafe C, C++, Cython, Fortran, etc. code - and now it no longer does. Which may lead to all sorts of fun outcomes (crashes, intermittent incorrect behavior, etc.).

The Rust hype at least makes sense.
In technical context, yes. I’m a Rustacean myself.
In business/marketing context, …
It’s not you who needs it.
It’s for buzzword chasers and cost cutters.
Rust (=> fast and hip)
Shared (=> outsourced)
AI generated (=> robot devs)
Get it?
Yeah, sorry. My comment was maybe too curt.
My thoughts are similar to those shared by @Domi in a top comment. If an API user is expected to be wary enough to check for such a header, then they would also be wary enough to check the response of an endpoint dedicated to communicating such deprecation info, or wary enough to notice API requests being redirected to a path indicating deprecation.
I mentioned Zapier or Clearbit as examples of doing it in what I humbly consider the wrong way, but still a way that doesn’t bloat the HTTP standard.
Proper HTTP implementations in proper languages utilize header-name enums for strict checking/matching, and for performance by e.g. skipping unnecessary string allocations, not keeping known strings around, …etc. Every standard header name will have to added as a variant to such enums, and its string representation as a constant/static.
Not sure how you thought that shares equivalency with random JSON field names.
Weak use-case.
Wrong solution (IMHO).
If one must use a header for this, how Zapier or Clearbit do it, as mentioned in appendix A.2, is the way to go.
Bloating HTTP and its implementations for REST-specific use-cases shouldn’t be generally accepted.
There is a YouTube video in Servo’s homepage.
The first minutes of that video answer your question.
A reminder that the Servo project has resumed active development since the start of 2023, and is making good progress every month.
If you’re looking for a serious in-progress effort to create a new open, safe, performant, independent, and fully-featured web engine, that’s the one you should be keeping an eye on.
It won’t be easy trying to catch up to continuously evolving and changing web standards, but that’s the only effort with a chance.
I for one am happy we’re getting an alternative to the Chrome/Firefox duality we’re stuck with.
Anyone serious about that would be sending their money towards Servo, which resumed active development since the start of 2023, and is making good progress every month.
I would say nothing but “Good Luck” to other from-scratch efforts, but It’s hard not to see them as memes with small cultist followings living on hope and hype.
start a process within a specific veth
That sentence doesn’t make any sense.
Processes run in network namespaces (netns), and that’s exactly what ip netns exec
does.
A newly created netns via ip netns add
has no network connectivity at all. Even (private) localhost is down and you have to run ip link set lo up
to bring it up.
You use veth
pairs to connect a virtual device in a network namespace, with a virtual device in the default namespace (or another namespace with internet connectivity).
You route the VPN server address via the netns veth device and nothing else. Then you run wireguard/OpenVPN inside netns.
Avoid using systemd since it runs in the default netns by default, even if called from a process running in another netns.
The way I do it is:
ns_con AA
ip netns exec
):ns_run AA <cmd>
export DISPLAY=:0 # for X11
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 # to connect to already running pipewire...
# double check this is running in AA ns
tmux -f -f <alternative_config_file_if_needed> -L NS_AA
I have this in my tmux config:
set-option -g status-left "[#{b:socket_path}:#I] "
So I always know which socket a tmux session is running on. You can include network info there if you’re still not confident in your setup.
Now, I can detach that tmux session. Reattaching with tmux -L NS_AA attach
from anywhere will give me the session still running in AA
.
You don’t even need full-fledged containers for that btw.

and veth

Meh, everyone scaring you into thinking you don’t own your own mind.
Assuming your boss is not the dangerous kind (beyond legal threats), and if the goal is to make it FOSS, then do it using an alias first. Do it differently. Use components/libs/algos from other people at first, even if they are not perfect. Make those parts easily pluggable/replaceable which would be good design anyway. The code then wouldn’t be wholly yours, not even your alias self.
You can join the project later with your real identity as an interested domain expert (maybe a bit after not working for the same boss). Start contributing. Become a maintainer. And maybe take over after a while. You can start replacing non-optimal components/libs/algos with better ones piecemeal.
Oh, and if Rust wasn’t the choice of implementation, use it this time.
