So, I see Wikipedia has bowed to the slop-peddlers protection racket. "Let us violate your consent and steal from you, or else we'll DDOS your site with scrapers forever."

And now a towering human achievement is irretrievably tainted by collusion with the slopbros.

"AI" is a grift, a consent-violation machine, a protection racket all rolled into one. It destroys everything it touches.

"But they HAD to sign a deal! Otherwise the 'AI' scrapers would have just shut their site down by inflicting massive server costs!"

First, that is LITERALLY a protection racket. Second, signing a deal offers no protection; the blackmailer will simply escalate demands.

On this day in 2001 Wikipedia was first edited. That was 25 years ago. A cause for celebration.

Have you made an edit to Wikipedia? If not, today would be a good day to do so.

I'm writing C++. I have a struct

struct ExampleStruct {
int32_t i;
bool a;
bool b;
}

I know I'm running on a modern CPU such as x86_64 or ARM64, and I know I'm using a modern compiler such as recent clang, recent gcc, or recent msvc.

The byte offsets of "a" and "b", relative to the start of ExampleStruct, are:

There is a new European Mail Transfer Agent: Remails. It's on GitHub, written in Rust, and hosted in Europe.

Read Max and Michiel's blog on how we built Remails from a single binary proof-of-concept to a highly available, scalable cloud application: https://tweedegolf.nl/en/blog/197/remails

Many health information websites leak page visit data to third parties such as #google. These websites include Canadian and provincial health portals. According to the Blacklight Privacy Inspector, only #Ontario, #BritishColumbia, and the #Canada health portal were free of 3rd-party tracking when we collected the data.

I’ve now successfully used `~Copyable`, `~Escapable`, and `Span`. Very powerful, very specialized tools. Swift APIs you use might get safer/faster because of them.

But I doubt you need to use, or even understand this stuff. Safe to ignore, along with `borrowing` and `consuming`.

From CI and CDNs to bots and access control, the Rust Project’s infrastructure must support millions of users and thousands of contributors. In the Infra team's latest quarterly update, Marco Ieni (Rust Foundation Infra Engineer, Infra Team member) covers:

- What changed in Q4 2025
- How reliability and performance were improved
- What they are building next in Q1 2026

Sysadmin life hack: check /root/.mysql_history for the initial root password update before going through the whole "start server with --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking" song and dance.

Security advice: clear your various ~/.*history files every now and again. Especially after you do something sensitive. (Inb4 OpenBSD users are all "or just don't use shells that store history")
