Wir leben wahrhaftig in einer Dystopie.

Tja, der #Thermonator* ist wohl die militärische #Robodog-Variante des zivilen #WatchDog|s von #BostonDynamics. #DualUse-wer hat etwas anderes erwartet?

Was ist die #PayLoad des Untiers? - Fehlt nur noch eine kleine Rakete darauf...dann hat man eine laufende Drohne, die man mit #Flugabwehr nicht mehr abschießen kann.--#WarInUkraine?

W roku 2020, uvicorn zastąpił zależność od WatchDoga paczką . Jeżeli dobrze pamiętam, nic innego w nie używało nigdy WatchGoda.

W roku 2022, WatchGoda porzucono, a właściwie przepisano w Ruście jako . Oczywiście, uvicorn podążył za tą zmianą, i usunięto wsparcie WatchGoda (tak jak poprzednio usunięto wsparcie WatchDoga) na rzecz WatchFiles.

Dziś, WatchFiles używane jest przez 2 paczki w Gentoo: uvicorn i pelican. Ma znaną niezgodność z anyio >= 4, która nie doczekała się reakcji autora już drugi miesiąc. Wydaje się, jakby projekt WatchFiles był porzucony.

W międzyczasie, WatchDog doczekał się kilka dni temu kolejnego wydania, i wciąż nie sprawia żadnych problemów.
