Ubuntu under attack, Big flaw affects all Linux distros, Linux beats Windows - Linux Weekly News
The Google Home I've been using for the last 10 years is finally dying. Hasn't been able to connect to wifi the last two days and it's a brick without it.
Here are the things I use it for:
* Setting timers
* Setting alarms
* Turning on and off the lights after I've already gotten into bed.
* Nothing else.
Probably impossible to get a device that can do this now without AI.

Closest thing is probably Home Assistant, but it requires significantly more setup.

@cr1901 @dalias @pinskia The fact that Rust removes from them the cognitive load of having to think about buffer overflows and object lifetimes gives them all the brain space to think about higher categories of problems, such as attack surface and dependency minimization - and they fail at these just like they would fail at memory safety in C.

I liked writing efficient code but every place I worked didn’t care at all about it. All they wanted was a finished feature and a kanban note moved to finished.
