662: The GitHub Diet

Linux 7.0 introduces significant performance and architectural updates, including a long-awaited Time Slice extension for improved desktop responsiveness and foundational driver support for next-generation AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm platforms. The release marks a major milestone for Rust, which is now officially integrated into the kernel, while simultaneously initiating the removal of legacy i486 support. Beyond kernel developments, the discussion shifts to the growing discomfort with GitHub’s centralized, proprietary model, prompting a transition toward self-hosted alternatives like Forgejo. This shift is driven by concerns over corporate strategy, AI training practices on open-source code, and the desire for greater infrastructure control. Practical tools like RenderCV and the ESPHome Starter Kit further illustrate a broader trend of applying programmatic, infrastructure-as-code methodologies to personal workflows, from resume management to smart home hardware development.
