@lattera I closely and eagerly keep watch of your work with HardenedBSD, and though I don't yet use it, I do greatly admire and appreciate the knowledgeable, open sourced work you do.

thank you.

I'd like to take a moment to thank @romanzolotarev for his BSD advocacy efforts. You're doing amazing work and it's fun to read all these stories.

Also...

I'd like to promote more writing about the successes (and failures) of the Mastodon/federation experiment from marginalized communities.

If you're writing (publically, blog-like?) about social tech from that perspective, feel free to hit me up.

Boost this if you have no idea what you're doing.

Hey Fediverse -- I need a logo designed & I've got cash (USD or EUR)!

I need it simple -- so it can be printed on stickers (it's primary function, tbh) economically -- but also (hopefully) eye-catch-y because the target audience already has a tortuous number of stickers on their laptop.

Corollary -- what small run (less than 500), probably die-cut required, sticker print shop should I be supporting (US or EU) instead of Sticker Mule?

boosts very much welcomed.

Rust doesn't have a specification
Therefore all Rust code is undefined behavior
Therefore Rust has more undefined behavior than C
Therefore Rust < C

What if "do one thing and do it well" is because you can't write bigger, reliable programs in C anyway.

Want to learn C? I think I learned it by looking at code and some GNU manuals. These days the early editions of the book written by the creators of C is available for free. Who cares about how old it is. Search for “K&R C free” to find more interesting material like tutorials.
Since I believe in actual projects, the “write your own text editor” booklet seemed like a great idea!

@kensanata posted a list of books for learning the "C" programming language

Here is my list (most are available online):

This bug highlights a problem with securing containers: the tiniest bit of kernel code can screw it up. All it takes is one infoleak. Have you audited your entire kernel, including modules and binary blobs for information leaks?

Virtualization, whether it be a hypervisor or a container, does not increase security.

One of the things I kickstarted at Creative Commons when I was tech lead (though wasn't there for the completion of) was CC BY-SA and GPL compatibility, and one of the use cases was games. Happy to see that Wesnoth now supports GPL or CC BY-SA for assets: https://www.wesnoth.org/start/1.14/

similar to how newtonian mechanics breaks down when you get close to a large source of gravity, the laws of common sense break down when in close proximity to a very dense source of money. nature... truly is mysterious.
