Linus Torvalds Vents Over "Completely Crazy Rust Format Checking"
After Linus Torvalds yesterday shot down RISC-V big endian prospects for the Linux kernel, today he has used his authority to wage a war on 'crazy' Rust code formatting as well as to critique poor text formatting.

Why are the economical benefits of Linux not talked about more?
Simply put, free.
It is astonishing to a lad like myself that one can have incredibly old "outdated" hardware, that refuses to run newer operating systems (e.g. Windows 10, 11, etc.) but works like a charm on a Linux distro.
Furthermore, Linux provides LTS that lasts for many years, which means you can continue to use your hardware for many more years to come.
I am stating this as a lad whom was contemplating throwing out my 10 year old laptop, because it doesn't support Windows 11 but find it magical that I do not need to purchase new hardware for $1K but rather can continue to use my existing hardware for many more years, thanks to Linux.
No one talks about the peace of mind you get on Linux with essentially no viruses existing so no need for anti-virus software, security concerns, etc. which could cost you lots of money in the long-run.
LibreOffice sure beats that crummy Microsoft Office recurring subnoscription too.
I feel like many huge financial burdens have been lifted off my shoulders after switching to Linux. Thank you for freeing up lots of money for me, so that I can continue to put food on the table and not on software and subnoscriptions that were created with an artificial expiration date that large corporations have set, when they need to pad up their P&L statements for shareholders.

Linux 6.18 will be a Big Improvement for Servers Encountering DDoS Attacks

Intro: "A set of patches merged via the networking pull request for the Linux 6.18 will help servers better cope with distributed denial of service "DDoS" attacks. Thanks to a Google engineer there are some significant optimizations found in the Linux 6.18 kernel code for more efficiently handling of UDP receive performance under stress, such as in DDoS scenarios".

How can someone have Git commits from 1998 if Git was created in 2005?
https://preview.redd.it/ut70xp3jj4tf1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=bdd7d0938b0a0fd7cb2186e90557ffb139b35d2b
I noticed that some GitHub repositories show a commit history starting from the late 1990s — even though Git was released in 2005 and GitHub launched in 2007.
How is that possible? Were those projects using a different version control system before Git and then imported the history, or can commit dates be manually faked somehow?
Curious to know how this works under the hood.

What proprietary software do you use, and what open source alternatives have you tried using?
I recently watched this video: https://youtu.be/kiQif7dYBxY regarding some good quality closed source apps.
Do you have any that you can't live without? If you've used any open source alternatives to that software, what make you stick with the original?

Many Debian/Ubuntu Packages for Intel Accelerators & Other Intel Software Have Been Orphaned
Source: Many Debian/Ubuntu Packages For Intel Accelerators & Other Intel Software Have Been Orphaned - Phoronix
Intro: "In addition to some Intel Linux kernel drivers being "orphaned" following the corporate restructuring at Intel between developers being laid off and others deciding to pursue opportunities elsewhere, these changes have also led to a number of Intel-related software packages within Debian being orphaned. In turn these Intel packages are also relied on by Ubuntu and other downstream Debian Linux distributions.
Around one dozen Intel packages within the Debian archive were recently orphaned, a.k.a. now being unmaintained following developer departures from Intel with no one currently taking up the new responsibility, with also needing to be a Debian Developer or Debian Maintainer to contribute".
