I don’t make financial decisions, so I can’t support FOSS from the corp coffers directly.

Have you asked?

I too fixed performance problems in that repo a few years back and did a write up on it - https://jackson.dev/post/rust-coreutils-dd/

I'm glad this project is getting some more attention, maybe even getting funding from Ubuntu since they're using it? Last time I touched it most of the code was still pretty clearly written by Rust beginners and non-systems programmers so it likely had/has many such issues to uncover. Ubuntu putting it into their distro should hopefully get more experienced (and actually paid!) devs taking a closer look.

Only if you want to.

So you’re also contributing to the declining viewership that these channels are complaining about. They make no money off of your watch time so to them it is the same as no view at all.

I wrote a full rant about this yesterday as I have been trying to decide on licensing for a large OSS project that I've been developing. Licensing and funding are inextricably linked, so I wanted to make the right decision up front.

Author here! Actually the first time I’ve ever seen anyone (other than myself) share a post of mine.

If there are any suggestions I’m happy to update it, as noted in the post I’ve had a few people reach out with improvements over the years. It seems like this post in particular is liked the search engines.

And use what instead?

You still think it's sketchy?

I've explained that it's perfectly normal, that it's just someone who wants to use Unicode in their domain name (in this case because they probably speak a non-ascii based language), and most good web clients should be showing that link as the Unicode characters. Firefox for example shows that as the proper Unicode directly.

It literally is just a way for non-english speakers to have a domain name in their native language.

Are you talking about the “xn—“ domain name? Because FYI that’s just a punycode domain. It’s pretty commonly used for non-ascii domains. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punycode

The article itself is only available over Tor or I2P anyways though.

I have started, and ended, many bar chats over this. I am a firm believer in the cube rule above all other starch based food classification systems.

How do you make it illegible for LLMs?
