Remember the times when people told the *current* outdoors temperature by actually looking at a thermometer rather than random weather *forecast* from their smartphone?

As a compromise, I'd settle for people reading the current temperature from the heating controller (it's got outdoors sensor).

#Gentoo switched to #Python 3.11 today!

We also removed support for building packages for Python 3.9 (the interpreter will remain available for as long as it's feasible to maintain it).

Thanks to everyone involved in this huge effort!

We were considering removing SHA512 hashes from #Gentoo Manifests in favor of using BLAKE2b alone (instead of both). The change was rejected because of "insufficient community support." That said, it's hard to gauge support from ml threads -- opponents generally tend to speak up, while proponents do not.

Do you think we should remove SHA512?

The short history of wrong information on the Internet.

The First Era: wrong information is mostly spread by people who believe in it and want to enlighten others.

The Second Era: wrong information is aggregated by SEO experts who focus on driving as much traffic as possible without caring about the quality of information.

The Third Era: LLMs are used to produce completely wrong but conceivable information on industrial scale.

Can a large project like #Gentoo survive long-term purely on volunteer effort?

The biggest problem is that volunteers would like to do what they enjoy. However, there are also things that *need to be done* that nobody happens to enjoy at the time, and so far we've been relying on someone making a sacrifice to do them.

That doesn't seem sustainable long-term. Just imagine that one day Gentoo may run out of people doing necessary Infra work.
