If there won’t be too many different plugins, maybe having a feature for each plugin would work. Then you could use --features=... when compiling to select the plugins you need.

I like to look at Issues and Pull Requests on Github if a crate wasn’t updated for multiple years. If there are already problems like unsoundness, deprecation, or breaking bugs mentioned with no reaction shown by the maintainer, that is a good sign to look elsewhere instead. If everything seems fine and the crate isn’t very complex or security-critical, it is probably not an issue.

…but big gaps remain across the board.

Good progress, but let’s keep going, especially in those states that still have a long way to catch up.

Where are these circles coming from!?

Governments trying to ban end-to-end encryption be like:

I love how the comic doesn’t indicate who’s talking, but it is totally obvious which one of them gives directions that make no fucking sense.

Is that in reference to the Safety Third podcast?

Ukraine, Moldova, and the Western Balkans, but not Georgia or Turkey

That’s the second sentence of the article. I would also like to see Norway and Switzerland, maybe even Scotland coming around to it.

I’m using it and it does feel faster, but I haven’t done real benchmarks yet. But it’s easy enough to set up, so might as well try it out.

We absolutely must ship what we said we would.

Nothing new, but shows that there is absolutely no attempt to find a compromise. I won’t be coming back on Wednesday.
