With Git Moving to Rust, How Long Until a Git Fork?

Git 3.0 is scheduled to ship "second half of 2026", with a mandatory requirement of Rust. Which means Git will no longer build on many platforms. Setting the stage for a successful fork.

NetBSD Says No to Rust

"Rust in the core of NetSD is probably a non-starter," says long-time NetBSD developer. "Keeping Rust working is quite a bit of work."

The futility of Ad-Blockers

Ads are filling the entirety of the Web -- websites, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc. -- at an increasing rate. Prices for those ad placements are plummeting. Consumers are desperate to use ad-blockers to make the web palatable. Google (and others) are desperate to break and block ad-blockers. All of which results in... more ads and lower pay for creators.

It's a fascinatingly annoying cycle. And there's only one viable way out of it.

openSUSE says "No Lunduke allowed!"

Those in power with openSUSE make it clear they will not allow me anywhere near anything related to the openSUSE project. Ever. For any reason.

Well, that settles that, then! Guess I won't be contributing to openSUSE! 🤣

Controversial opinion.

I think Lunduke is wrong on Rust.

I has clearly been adopted by the next generation. It can plug in very nicely into various ecosystems and tools. I am planning to adopt it as well for app development (logic part, not the view).

At the end of the day, if modern kids, people etc want to use Rust then it makes sense for the projects to start exploring it and investing in it today.

Not doing so might lead to old timers retiring without anyone left to replace them.

Rust is not a bad language at all. It definitely has a bad reputation for the way it was being pushed a few years back. But honestly, I don't see those "rewrite in Rust" mobs much these days.

U see people doing amazing projects and organic adoption skyrocketing.

That's why I don't think adding Rust into traditionaly C code bases is a bad idea.
It prepares the project for the "changing of the guard".

This was always bound to happen some day if not Rust then Zig or something else but as it turned out, it's Rust.

It's bad enough that "they" want to put RUST in every FOSS Project.

However, forcing children to Learn RUST as their First Language is taking things too far.

$89 Lifetime Offer Ends at Midnight!

I’ll make this quick: The $89 Lifetime Subscription offer for The Lunduke Journal ends at midnight tonight (Saturday, January 31st).

Once the calendar reads “February” — poof — the deal is gone.

If you wanted to save 70% on a Lifetime Subscription, these are your final hours.

A huge thank you to everyone who has signed up during this crazy deal. We are this close to filling up the 4th Lifetime Subscriber Wall (there’s a possibility it might fill up in the next few hours).

Far beyond anything I was expecting. All of you are absolutely amazing. The Lunduke Journal would not be possible without you.

If you were on contemplating grabbing that Lifetime Sub, I’d jump on it right now. The price goes back up to normal ($300) in about 12 hours or so.

Get it while it’s cheap!

The End of the $89 Lifetime Sub is Nigh!

Quick reminder: The massive deal The Lunduke Journal has been running — 70%+ off Lifetime Subscriptions, 50% off all other subscriptions — ends after tomorrow (Saturday, January 31st).

Considering that, here are the steps I recommend:

Grab the $89 Lifetime Subscription before it ends tomorrow night.
High five yourself for saving money and supporting Indie Tech Journalism.
Maybe… grab a donut?

That is all.

$89 Lifetime Lunduke Subs ends this week!

Quick heads up, that the $89 Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal discount ends… at the end of this week!

Discounting Lifetime Subscriptions by over 70% was an absolute blast. So many of you took advantage of the offer that we’re now up to four Lifetime Subscriber walls at the end of every video. Crazy!

But something that awesome can’t last forever. Which means that, in just a few days, Lifetime Subscriptions will return to their regular price of $300.

With no plans to do another wild discount like that any time soon.

So.

If you haven’t already, snag an $89 (via Bitcoin) or $99 (via Substack or Locals) Lifetime Subscription.
Then let me know if you’d like to be added to the Lifetime Wall of ~~Shame~~ Awesomeness.

My guess is, a the current rate, that 4th Lifetime Wall will be full by Friday.

Bonkers.

And, once again, thank you to each and every subscriber. The Lunduke Journal would not be possible without you.
