okay the rsync thing scares me because for the past decade it felt like there was this sort of expectation that the core utilities you take for granted, especially on the Linuxes, that there would at least be a good faith attempt at keeping them stable, at keeping them working as expected
and in 2026 that is gone, was Windows going to shit just a warning sign about the industry in general? will most everything else follow?
Project I'd love to see:
A cross-distro collab to track ensloppified upstreams, last-trusted versions of them, and sets of backported security & general important bugfix patches.
Divided this might seem untractable, but working together, I think it's very practical to render the compromised upstreams irrelevant.
In the end the found one manually anyway, but Jesus...
@oshwassociation Thanks to Jessica Stanley I had a chance to create elastic PCB with methods that I can easily replicate with vinyl cutter and tools and skills that I already have.
Soldering on thin, elastic vinyl is tricky and has to be made quick but it all worked out well! 😄
Fun fact: I actually prefer soldering SMT then THT elements. Is it unpopular opinion? 😅

Ach, Ihr wollt das doch sehen, ich kenn Euch doch …
I was in #Toronto visiting the kid this weekend. Stopped by an #electronics store I had heard about, called "Supremetronic”…
Really, it was a section in the basement of a Home Hardware, directly next to the paint counter.
What a strange little nook of availability that was. Hundreds of bins of discrete components, a few bins of ICs, and some essentials like ribbon cables, perf board, and connectors. A few kits, and some project boxes.
🤯
People will be running from the shame of supporting this the rest of their lives.
