The Vatican Digitizes a 1,600-Year-Old Illuminated Manuscript of the Aeneid
It’s fair to say that every period which has celebrated the literature of antiquity has held epic Roman poet Virgil in extremely high regard, and that was never more the case than during the early Christian and medieval eras.Josh Jones (Openculture.com)

Giro de 180 grados en Linux, revolución en Ubuntu que dice adiós para siempre a GNU/Linux
Canonical prepara una transformación importante en su sistema operativo de código abierto, con el objetivo de reforzar la seguridad y optimizar el rendimiento de Ubuntu.Juan Manuel Delgado (Computer Hoy)
Pero el mantenedor de Sort o cualquier otra parte de coreutils igual no quiere dedicar tiempo a aprender Rust.
No parece que Rust aporte mejoras de rendimiento frente a C o CPP. Y las coreutils no tienen un historial terrible de seguridad o fallos de gestión de memoria. Así que quizás lo que interesa a Canonical es cambiar la licencia.
@iam @salvari @kr0n no, no creo que un rustafari esté por la labor de escribir bindings para usar dependencias en C, u ofrecer bindings para que el programa en C pueda enlazar sus librerías. Prefieren reescribirlo todo a pensar dónde tiene mas sentido aplicar rust para empezar.
El problema que yo le veo a Rust no está en el lenguaje, sino en la gente. Aplican la cultura fanboy y la tabla rasa a sistemas que podrían incorporar novedades más gradualmente.

Three mind-blowing facts about the US war plan leak via Signal:
— After the leak, The Pentagon warned staffers not to use Signal, because Russian hackers had found a Signal vulnerability.
— Trump's Ukraine and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff who was part of the Signal chat was in Russia while the chat was going on.
— Only 2 weeks ago, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard sent out a Tweet saying “Any unauthorized release of classified information is a violation of the law”

Everyone complacently waiting for the next elections and believing the situation is a temporary aberration is like someone just ejected from an airplane window thinking they’re going to land just fine because they always have in the past when they exited an airplane.
This thing is not like the other thing.
According to our PM who is afraid of upsetting Gilead, all we need to stop this is 'more sporting role models'
That's the amount of effort the PM will give this pressing issue, it's not on his agenda for the next five years so nothing will be done about the poisoning of our Youth by Fascism.
