I feel this in my soul. With a side of "modern memory-safe languages are great" vs "the consistency and efficiency of shared libraries is what makes distributions great even if they're written in C".

I will mention that I have JS disabled by default and your website shows up as a completely blank white page. You're certainly not obliged to cater to weirdos like me, but you may be interested to know that there are some people who browse the web this way for speed, privacy or security reasons. Most websites I visit this way are fine because they are server-side rendered.

If you are feeling ambitious and want to go "serverless", try out DecSync and a compatible android app for contact sync. This represents all your contacts as files on disk in a way that avoids conflicts, and you can use SyncThing to keep your devices in sync 100% peer to peer. Unfortunately on your desktop you'll probably have to use something like radicale on localhost and the plugin to convert it into CardDAV for your regular email client to understand.

 

Two independent groups of researchers have identified a total of 6 vulnerabilities in rsync. In the most severe CVE, an attacker only requires anonymous read access to a rsync server, such as a public mirror, to execute arbitrary code on the machine the server is running on.

People like me keep buying more F-91Ws when the old ones break or get lost

What's the deal with the Google ad that shows a legit URL but takes users to another? That seems like the biggest issue here and the article just rolls past it like that's totally normal.

Well damn. Thanks.

Is this a joke? I'm not clever enough to get it.

 

The following summary from Debian's security list:

The Qualys Threat Research Unit (TRU) discovered that OpenSSH, an implementation of the SSH protocol suite, is prone to a signal handler race condition. If a client does not authenticate within LoginGraceTime seconds (120 by default), then sshd's SIGALRM handler is called asynchronously and calls various functions that are not async-signal-safe. A remote unauthenticated attacker can take advantage of this flaw to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. This flaw affects sshd in its default configuration.

 

Martin Kleppmann sets out a vision: "In local-first software, the availability of another computer should never prevent you from working."

He describes the evolution of how to classify local-first software, how it differs from offline-first, and proposes a bold future where data sync servers are a commodity working in tandem with peer-to-peer sync, freeing both developers and users from lock-in concerns.

It's convenient until you want to upgrade the distro.

Hmm wasn't there some kerfuffle recently about how the kernel was going to start self-issuing CVEs en masse? Is this the result of that plan?

If you can write correct C++ you'll be able to write Rust code that compiles first time. Don't stress, you're learning the good stuff.
