More on upki:

https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/an-update-on-upki/77063

My interest in building OneCRL support into upki has definitely increased this week. Issue:

https://github.com/rustls/upki/issues/229

I'm hoping some organizations will step forward to fund work on this.

(Note that curl on Ubuntu 26.10 now has CRLite support baked via upki -- unfortunately that doesn't help with this because AIUI CRLite is only for end entities, not for intermediate certificates.)

Pretty obviously LLM-generated.

I don’t think it’s completely unfair to say that the Neo is based on a chip that was first announced in Sep 2024 while the Intel chip is from Apr 2026.

Also, I think the battery life most people are practically interested in is more like running (close to) idle and less like the number of Watts spent when running maxed out, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Arm chips still win on that metric…

> I wonder if someone could create a GitHub account using my name and claim ownership of them...

AIUI the crates are actually linked to the account via a different identifier, not directly to the username.

GitButler now employs/has hired the gitoxide maintainer, I think? So no doubt they’re aware.

I guess they found that gitoxide isn’t good enough and/or to expensive to extend/improve for their use cases?

A lot of Let’s Encrypt is not the software but a bunch of auditing and process that ensure compliance and make it legible to the required auditors.

That's the policy, but we've been a bit more conservative in practice. `main` currently targets 1.88, but that's only because a security issue in the time crate has forced our hand (one reason I don't like the time crate all that much). Before that, it was 1.83 (from November 2024). Our last release targets 1.71 (from July 2023).

I'd bet a supermajority of Swift commits comes from Apple developers. Pretty sure the rust-lang/rust commit authors would be much less centralized.
