After enough years in software, you learn that LGTM doesn't actually stand for "Looks Good To Me".
Only the pros know its real meaning:
"Looked. Got tired. Merged."
"The 21 input XOR gate isn't real, it can't hurt you"
The 21 input XOR gate:

haters will try to tell you that your backup tool shouldn’t be slop that silently corrupts data
Though I really like openrc, it is like a mature sysvinit. Once that support has landed and the rough edges are done this should be a very solid experience. The major missing services are ssh, dbus, bluetooth, some dns(avahi?), cron.
you'll want https://salsa.debian.org/helmutg/dpkg-root-demo/-/merge_requests/11 and https://salsa.debian.org/debian/openrc/-/commits/wip/native. This works for a bare sysinit, but I did not test more than that. Note that this is highly experimental and you need to build your own packages.
Are you still only using two factor authentication? I'm way ahead of you with my 7 factor authentication 🔐
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? 😅
