Hobbyist Maintainers with Thomas DePierre

Thomas DePierre joins Open Source Security to discuss the central idea from his blog post, “You are all on the hobbyist maintainers turf now,” exploring the massive disconnect between the corporate world that consumes open source and the hobbyist community that actually produces it. The conversation reveals this isn’t a new problem, but a long-standing reality whose consequences for security, stability, and the future of software we are only now beginning to truly confront.

‘Injustice 3’ is Coming—What Will DC Do With It?

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-10-18 10:00:02

Nearly 10 years ago, NetherRealm released Injustice 2, the second game in its DC superhero fighting series. (And it’s the third superhero fighting game, beginning with 2008’s Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.) After continuing and rebooting the story of Mortal Kombat, it seems NetherRealm is going back to superheroic punch-ups, as Green Lantern and Aquaman voice actor Phil LaMaar reportedly told a fan at a recent convention a third game is happening. This will come as little surprise to anyone pay

Error handling in Rust is one of those topics that can spark passionate debates in the community. After wrestling with various approaches in the iroh codebase, the team has developed some insights about the current state of error handling, the tradeoffs involved, and how to get the best of both worlds. The Great Error Handling Divide The Rust ecosystem has largely coalesced around two main approaches to error handling: The anyhow approach: One big generic error type that can wrap anything. It

How to install TrueNAS on a Raspberry Pi

Video footage went viral on social media earlier this summer after an intoxicated woman was seen on a Southwest Airlines flight pulling another woman’s hair and shouting abusive things before being subdued and arrested. Now the woman who was attacked has filed a lawsuit against her attacker and named Southwest as a co-defendant, partially blaming the airline’s open seating policy for the confrontation.

People With Ties to Trump Accused of Carrying Out ‘Covert’ Influence Operations in Greenland

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-10-24 02:10:03

Earlier this year, the Trump administration raised eyebrows and inspired scoffs when it announced it wanted to buy Greenland. Since then, the government has ignored the laughs and continued to pursue its stated objective. Now, a new report from a Danish news outlet alleges that multiple Americans with direct ties to Trump have been engaged in covert “influence operations” aimed at Greenlanders. The purpose of these propaganda efforts is to sow division between the Nordic territory and its parent

Terraton wants to be the McDonald’s of biochar

If there’s one thing McDonald’s has done for the world, it’s made starting a burger restaurant relatively straightforward. Franchisees buy into the system, and in return they get equipment, marketing, and even an operating manual. Terraton wants to bring that same model to biochar, a technology that turns agricultural waste into a carbon dioxide-sequestering fertilizer. Terraton recently raised a $11.5 million seed round for it’s “business-in-a-box” approach to biochar project development, the

Subaru Solterra first drive: Big improvements in all the right places for 2026

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-29 13:00:23

When Subaru's first electric car launched in late 2021, the Solterra had something of a problem: It wasn't exactly competitive in any of the major factors that EV buyers typically look for. Its 220-mile range and 215-horsepower output were middling at best when compared to vehicles like the Tesla Model Y. Its quirky styling didn't exactly help, either. For 2026, Subaru is giving the Solterra a significant up-do. Don't call it a reboot, as it's still very much the same SUV as before, but with mo
