If you're looking to use Object Lock on Scaleway Object Storage, you may be interested in leaving a vote for this feature request. It'll make it much much easier to deal with files for which the retention duration is not known at the time of upload. feature-request.scaleway.com/posts/1466/o...

6 years after releasing rusty-s3, downloads keep growing. Of all of the stuff going on this year, I'm happy to see it continue to be adopted with little effort on my side. Happy that this small little crate is slowly finding it's own niche of users that dislike bloated autogenerated API bindings.

After this "gift", I expect more PRs sent to open source projects. Huge sloppy descriptions, the author using the PR review feature to talk to it's own clanker. 🙄 Maybe I should give Qwen it's own GitHub account so that clankers talk to each other and I don't have to even think about this mess /s

Google's "Painful To Maintain" Binder C Linux Driver Being Removed In Favor Of Rust
Google's Binder driver written in the C programming language has long been part of the mainline kernel as the inter-process communication (IPC) mechanism used on Android. The past few years the Binder driver was rewritten in Rust as one of the first "real" drivers in the Rust programming language. The Rust Binder driver was upstreamed in Linux 6.18 and now for the upcoming Linux 7.4 kernel cycle, the old Binder C-based driver is set to be retired...

Migration almost complete. I'm starting to appreciate the GitHub Actions-style CI, despite the flaws, after my years long love-hate relationship with Gitlab CI. The UX in general is amazing and snappy. Maybe I'll move some of my smaller projects to Codeberg, who knows...

Finally got around to trying Forgejo. Performance is better, except some endpoints where for some reason it takes 150ms to list commits in a tiny repo, which still feels like too much. Anyway, if I stop complaining about GitLab you now know why.
