[09:07] schestowitz[TR2] Obviously the chicken-and-egg problem is a serious one. The Guix [09:07] schestowitz[TR2] distribution has gotten the farthest, in that they can bootstrap the entire [09:07] schestowitz[TR2] distribution from a 357-byte binary on X86. [09:07] schestowitz[TR2] I think the best solution would not be to eschew Rust, but to solve its [09:07] schestowitz[TR2] problems to the best of our ability, since Rust represents a lot of [09:07] schestowitz[TR2] advancements in security, re-entrancy, and enforcement of software [09:07] schestowitz[TR2] correctness; over C/C++. [09:07] schestowitz[TR2] BSD licensing is not really an issue, IMO, but we must be aware that the [09:07] schestowitz[TR2] GPL has aged and we are being even more abused since the advent of AI [09:07] schestowitz[TR2] trained on Open Source. My work on Post Open is meant to address this and [09:07] schestowitz[TR2] other issues and I have a new version of licenses coming soon, merging [09:07] schestowitz[TR2] lawyer reviews. [09:07] schestowitz[TR2] IMO the best solution might be to bootstrap Rust from a highly-verified [09:07] schestowitz[TR2] build of the compiler targeting Webassembly. This could be made to work in [09:07] schestowitz[TR2] most places. But let's not kid ourselves: many software programs we now [09:07] schestowitz[TR2] depend upon are larger than it is possible for any single human to fully [09:07] schestowitz[TR2] understand. There doesn't seem to be any possibility of solving this [09:07] schestowitz[TR2] problem in the near future. [09:07] schestowitz[TR2] We also need to be aware that Linux, based on the now 55-year-old Unix [09:07] schestowitz[TR2] paradigm, and Multics before that, is also aged, and that newer kernels are [09:07] schestowitz[TR2] in our future. Redox, a microkernel OS written in Rust, also follows the [09:07] schestowitz[TR2] Unix paradigm but might be a starting point. A truly modern OS would not [09:07] schestowitz[TR2] provide any synchronous I/O primitives, and there are other advancements I [09:07] schestowitz[TR2] could suggest.

[09:08] schestowitz[TR2] More knowledge of these [09:08] schestowitz[TR2] things is necessary before you should really have an opinion about the [09:08] schestowitz[TR2] appropriate languages for [09:08] schestowitz[TR2] kernel programming.

[09:09] schestowitz[TR2] I am writing because I am concerned about the growing adoption of Rust in the Linux kernel and in core packages (such as uutils-coreutils). [09:09] schestowitz[TR2] >From my point of view, Rust brings several risks: [09:09] schestowitz[TR2] 1-It introduces permissive MIT/Apache licensing into the very core of Linux, which could favor closed-source derivatives and weaken the GPL reciprocity that made Linux strong. [09:09] schestowitz[TR2] 2-The Rust toolchain is complex, not fully bootstrappable from 100% free sources, and relies on binary distributions. This reduces auditability and increases dependency on external actors. [09:09] schestowitz[TR2] 3-The expansion of Rust in the kernel and in base utilities may bind the Linux ecosystem to non-fully-free toolchains and reduce long-term freedom for users and developers. [09:09] schestowitz[TR2] 4-Combined with the ever-growing scope of systemd, this convergence of design and licensing risks turning Linux into something more monolithic and Windows-like, moving it away from the traditional Unix philosophy. [09:09] schestowitz[TR2] Devuan has already solved the problem of systemd by providing a systemd-free Debian fork. [09:09] schestowitz[TR2] My question is: what steps, if any, is the Devuan developer community considering in order to provide or support a Rust-free kernel option?

Protecting the ... | Hacker News [10:56] schestowitz[TR2] "I agree with you, actually - but Richard Stallman and the Free Software movement more generally really don't. They exactly and explicitly believe this right exists and should ideally be a legal right, and the AGPL quite explicitly maintains this right. [10:56] schestowitz[TR2] Ultimately the Free Software movement is predicated on the concept that ideas can't be owned. They generally oppose both copyright and patents, and not just for software. Their licenses are meant as a stop gap solution. Ideally to them, or at least to some of the more die-hard members, laws would be changed such that what the GPL grants would not be a license predicated on copyright, but instead a legal requirement for all softwar [10:56] schestowitz[TR2] e, while copyright would be entirely abolished. [10:56] schestowitz[TR2] In addition to their general opposition to copyright and patents, Free Software people also view software as having a special role in terms of privacy and control - that, even more so than books and other copyrightable works, you have a right to know what the software in your house and business is doing, and to modify and fix it if it's doing something you don't like. This is related to privacy rights on one hand, and also anti-mo [10:56] schestowitz[TR2] nopoly, right to repair concepts on the other hand. [10:56] schestowitz[TR2] This is all very different from the Open Source movement, even though they basically use the same kinds of licenses. The OpenSource movement is more of an industry group that believes competing on building much foundational software is a waste of resources. Instead, they believe the best way to build this foundational software is in collaboration with other commercial or non-commercial entities, building it in the open such that a [10:56] schestowitz[TR2] ll may benefit from contributions and add their own contributions. However, the Open Source movement is completely fine with, and even expects, then making a proprietary product on top of this open source base. [10:56] schestowitz[TR2] To them copyleft licenses are a tool to make sure others don't keep their improvements for themselves, but have the downside of making it harder to build your proprietary stuff on top. Conversely, software that takes your contributions but then doesn't allow you to use it in commercial offerings is completely unacceptable, since the whole goal of the movement is for different companies to build a common infra on which they can the [10:56] schestowitz[TR2] n build their own commercial products. [10:56] schestowitz[TR2] Ultimately, both the Free Software and the Open Source movements will agree that a core part of open source is that anyone should be able to compete on delivering the original software, even if for entirely different ideological reasons." ● Sep 02 [11:03] TR News "expertise and capability in performing the task, and geographic diversity in the set of operating root nameservers covering the major areas of Internet deployment at the time." https://blog.apnic.net/2025/09/02/governance-of-the-dns-root-zone/ | Source: APNIC [11:03] TR Bot Governance of the DNS root zone | APNIC Blog [11:03] TR News "Every time when I think I finally got Unicode, I get kicked in the back by this rabbit hole." https://journal.bsd.cafe/2025/09/01/why-caffe-may-not-be-caffe/ | Source: The BSD Cafe Journal [11:03] TR Bot Why caff may not be caff The BSD Cafe Journal [11:04] TR News [Old] "Bash does not check builtin vs absolute path.
