@agrantler @release_candidate yeah I read that post. But amalgamating yet another system component into systemd will just shift a possible privilege escalation to run0. And since that is interwoven with systemd that could have disastrous consequences.
@release_candidate I hppe this is a shittoot, this is one of the gravest issues in Linux imo. Entrusting more and more things to systemd will inevitably lead to a major security issue sonner or later. I know why I use #OpenRC with #Debian on most of my machines, considering to try #doas, too.
So some 90 commits and a ton of uploads later GTK-rs 0.8 is available in #Debian unstable. This saw the removal of gtk3-rs first and a transition to nix 0.27 first. It's still building atm, but looks good so far. Applications consuming it like Railway will be uploaded subsequently. I still need to finish the zbus 4.0 update though, this blocks me from updating e.g. Loupe to 46.0
@emoryr not a parent, but Ada and Zangemann seems like a good read: https://nostarch.com/ada-zangemann
@grillchen yeah, that's sad. The police are still pushing for mass surveillance at every given opportunity; it's so tiringm
@decathorpe o.O Well it still is only available in experimental, and still blocked on other stuff. Most notably the time_t transition in Debian. With gtk3 removed it'll be hopefully become less involved to update all packages.
@brainblasted digitally and legally ? Unlikely. I would get either a library card or buy the disks themselves so you can make copies.
... and GTK3-rs is (almost) removed from the #Debian archive. Since only two programs use that I opted for vendoring it in for those, though I really despise vendoring.
Another blocker for GTK-rs 0.8 cleared.

Me: Ah, I have this part from my electronic parts collection I can use for this project. Surely #KiCad has a matching footprint/symbol for it.
Result: Part not in #KiCad, spend 3 hours and two MRs to add the part.
Note to self: Expect the unexpected.
I had fun though, it's been some time since I had to create a footprint from scratch.
Also hopefully others can make use of my contribution.

@MikeDunnAuthor There is a good German book about it, unfortunately not available in English afaik.
Linux rant
Man it sucks that the best option to switch outputs under a non KDE/GNOME desktop is pavucontrol. I really hate it. I wish there was a nicer option, utilizing piewire.
@IPEdmonton wrap it generously in bubblewrap, problem solved. I shipped a monitor from Canada to Europe that way and nothing broke at all.
@joao yeah, except that I manually whitelisted specific files; all other files are blacklisted by default. iirc Drew added them with git add manually, but that way I find it hard to keep track which files should be whitelisted.
Finally figured out how to write a proper gitignore for dot/configfiles. I hope I can find the time to make a blogpost about this.
Today I finished my term as Debian Project Leader. It feels almost as surreal as having become DPL in the first place. Thanks to everyone who has shown their confidence, support and assistance over the last four years, and more than that, thank you to everyone who has made Debian better, not only as a Linux distribution, but as a global project that we can be proud of!
It's taken forever to get there, but I just uploaded uploaded obfuscate 0.10 to #Debian experimental. This is the first available package using gtk-rs 0.8.
The rest will follow soon ™
