MWL ☛ 31: Bringing All These Failures Together
I’m writing about rspamd for Run Your Own Mail Server. Have you ever looked at a JSON configuration and thought, That could be a regular Unix text file? YAML and JSON and Unix text all represent similar data in different formats.

LWN ☛ The things nobody wants to pay for
Solutions to these problems are not easy to come by. Criticizing companies for a failure to support the ecosystem they depend on can have results, but only to a point. Organizations like the LF can organize resources toward the solution of common problems, but they have to please the same companies that are paying their bills in the end. Governments can help to fund areas that the market has passed over; that path gets harder in the absence of a functioning government, which is the situation to varying degrees in many parts of the world at the moment.
If we cannot find a solution, we are likely to be forced back to our roots, depending on volunteers to do the work in areas that companies decline to fund. That can be successful, but often at a high cost to the people who are doing that work. Depending on volunteers is not an inclusive approach; there are a lot of people who do not have the luxury of giving many hours of their time to this kind of project. Progress in that world will be slow.

University of Toronto ☛ The cooling advantage that CPU integrated graphics has
Once upon a time, you could readily get basic graphics cards, generally passively cooled and certainly single-width even if they had to have a fan in order to get you dual output support; this is, for example, more or less what I had in my 2011 era machines. These days these cards are mostly extinct, so when I put together my current office desktop I wound up with a dual width, definitely fan-equipped card that wasn't dirt cheap. For some time I've been grumpy about this, and sort of wondering where they went.
