And again it took quite a while to write a new update about my experiments with writing GStreamer elements in Rust. The previous articles can be found here and here. Since last time, there was also the GStreamer Conference 2016 in Berlin, where I had a sh...

In the last post, I introduced the idea of linear hashing. This post will describe a Rust implementation of the algorithm. I won’t go through every last line of code, but hopefully enough to give you a good understanding of how the whole thing works. I sh... (more…)

The container ecosystem is growing up. Proprietary implementations are gradually being replaced by open standards. One of the most important standards from the open container initiative is the oci-runtime spec, which allows alternative container runtimes ... (more…)
