Not true on the pinephone, the modem is a peripheral module, so the boot chain does not start with it.

The rust standard library does make targeted use of unchecked arithmetic when the containing type can ensure that that overflow never happens and benchmarks have shown that it benefits performance. E.g. in various iterator implementations.

Ah nice, their data sheet has a spectrum. Kind of odd that they don't market the "we filter out the harmful parts" feature more prominently.

PCP has two operating modes, MAP and PEER. The latter should be similar to hole-punching. And routers can forward PCP requests to their upstream routers. Some dualstack-lite routers do that and according to rumors (random internet forum com

At least there's an explicit standard for signalling: RFC 6887 Port Control Protocol. Many routers also support it. But it's often disabled for the same reason as having router-level firewalls in the first place.

The concurrent state machine example looks like a locking error? If the assumption is that it shouldn't change in the meantime, doesn't it mean the lock should continue to be held? In that case rust locks can help, because they ca

This is concerning on two fronts. The questions are no longer open (SO is CC-BY-SA) and if Q&A content dies then this herds even more people towards LLM use. It's basically draining the commons.

Having private variants and fields would be useful, yeah. Std cheats a bit with its ErrorKind::Uncategorized unstable+hidden variant to have something unmatchable.
