Support for QR code #kernel panic screens[1] is now in #Linux-next[2] and thus slated for inclusion in #LinuxKernel 6.12. 🥳

Note, the QR encoder requires #Rust / #Rustlang support to be enabled when building the kernel, as it is written in Rust (see [2]).

Investing in Rust

U.S. public policy can help facilitate market adoption of a relatively new, efficient, and safe programming language called Rust.

[tor-dev] Tor in a safer language: Network team update from Amsterdam

We didn't fight about Rust or Go or modern C++. Instead, we focused on identifying goals for migrating Tor to a memory-safe language, and how to get there. With that frame of reference, Rust emerged as a extremely strong candidate for the incremental improvement style that we considered necessary. We were strongly advised to not use cgo, by people who have used it extensively.

The #Tor project goes #Rust
