And you can't build newer Rust using older tools — because it only supports last 3 releases of LLVM and they have cranked out quite a few of them in the past couple of years, but the worst part is those LLVM releases can only be built with GCC 13. This looks somewhat relevant: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/95594
Why does everything have to depend on the latest versions and be so fucking broken? 😩
Things that work reliably well on my 32-bit #PowerPC machine.
GCC 13 works fine, but can't produce a working dynamically linked Python binary — probably has other issues so I've downgraded.
Rust up to 1.80 works, but segfaults when building certain crates, such as getrandom — probably related to newer versions of LLVM being horribly broken and LLVM12 probably works because it seems to ignore most optimisation flags.

US DoJ considers breaking up Google: https://www.gsmarena.com/us_doj_considers_breaking_up_google-news-64140.php
Google is a monopoly. The fix isn't obvious. A business breakup may be coming – but what comes after may not be better: https://www.theregister.com/2024/08/15/google_monopoly_fix/
I hope this "breaking up" involves cluster munitions in one way or the other 😈
At least there's more than 0 jobs for juniors in #rustlang, I guess.

Seeking help from an IT security person - please share!
I run an open source, federated event sharing site, #Gathio (https://gath.io). A few days ago, it was victim to a ransomware attack that deleted the database. I need a few hours of someone's time (paid of course!) to sit with me and go through my security configuration ASAP.
Sometimes, running open source, free, community services _sucks_.

Nothing about this is normal. Nothing about it should be happening. This stuff is going to Russia…” https://www.byteseu.com/336830/ #Ukraine #UkrainianConflict #UkrainianConflict

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
