What is Oxide doing about System Management Mode (SMM)? FAQ Friday #49

It's pride month so it seems like a good time to re-post this re. @racket-lang.org !

We love Rust for how much the compiler helps enforce safety. But sometimes it's up to us to uphold the complex--and often unclear--expectations of what constitutes safety on our own. @sunshowers.io, joined me and @bcantrill.bsky.social to talk about the hardest type of unsafe Rust.

@oxide.computer is actively updating the infrastructure running my website, my Bluesky PDS, and my Git server. All of those applications remain up through the update. Let's talk about why.

ICYMI, @sunshowers.io had a terrific blog entry last week -- and today, she joins @ahl.bsky.social and me on Oxide and Friends to discuss the blog entry, the work behind it, and the reaction to it. Join us, 5p Pacific today! discord.gg/QrcKGTTPrF?e...

The rainbow is here all year long, so we don't need to change the profile for June. But it is a good time to remind everyone that LGBTQIA+ rights are under attack all year long as well. And to steal @haskell.org's message: there would be no Gleam without trans people 🩵🩷🤍

When Rain writes about Rust, you should read it.
