According to the last Rust Foundation newsletter @MarcoIeni has managed to bring down the Rust ecosystem's CI costs from $1M to practically nothing and, inexplicably, this is not being shouted about from the rooftops but is disseminated solely via being buried in a newsletter.  

> In Q1 [...] the monetary cost of running CI has been reduced from $1M to $300K.
>
> In Q2, Marco found even more savings, [which meant that the spend on] CI has been greatly reduced–possibly to zero!

I kick off the morning reviewing this document: "#EUSTF: A Study on the Economic, Legal, and Political Feasibility of an EU Sovereign Tech Fund"

A 42,000 words proposal to create a EU-wide version of the German Sovereign Tech Fund/Agency with a 350 million € fund over seven years. To fund critical open source infrastructure.

It even features the now mandatory xkcd 2347 image. https://xkcd.com/2347/

Color me positive.

I've been talking to GitHub and giving them feedback on their "create issues with Copilot" thing they have in the works.

Today I tested a version for them and using it I asked copilot to find and report a security problem in curl and make it sound terrifying.

In about ten seconds it had a 100-line description of a "catastrophic vulnerability" it was happy to create an issue for. Entirely made up of course, but sounded plausible.

Proved my point excellently.

to track you, which makes bringing a smartphone a bad idea. Here's how to use
